> Not one assassination has affected the continuum of government or been more than a personal tragedy.

The formerly-enslaved workers in the American South would like a word about Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865 and his replacement as president by the (Union-loyal) southerner and states-rights advocate Andrew Johnson, who had very different ideas about Reconstruction and the rights of Blacks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Johnson#Reconstruction

EDIT: Recall as well the 1914 assassination of the Austrian archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife by a Serbian nationalist: That one murder started the dominos falling for a 30-year, continent-wide war (with a 20-year intermission) in which tens of millions of soldiers and civilians died — with millions of those being systematically murdered. Moreover, that new Thirty Years War (Churchill's term) destroyed the fairly-prosperous international commercial system of the early 1900s; devastated most of Europe's physical- and economic infrastructure; and catapulted Russia and the U.S. to the status of global hegemons.

So yeah: Assassinations can indeed be quite a bit more than just personal tragedies ....
Worked at Sandia National Laboratories from 1990-2013 in ABQ/NM, after 10 years in the Silicon Valley (CA Bay Area). I was recruited as a PM in Nuclear Energy to lead joint, cost-shared programs with the US Power Industry. Worked in tech. leadership roles in many areas including Homeland security, Intelligence, Nuclear Deterrence and Emergency Response Readiness, Global Security and Leading a remote test site within a USAF Base. All Missions of National Importance. Had opportunity to help shape national policy and strategy, team with allies and work with some of the smartest technical minds. Great R&D resources and funding. It's world's largest engineering R&D organization with current annual budget of >$4 billion and a workforce of ~15,000 professionals.

Having a MS or Ph. D. from top ten schools used to be requirement for entry. Salary is competitive, with excellent benefits including 10% 401K match since they no longer offer pension. No stock options, profit-sharing and other tech industry perks. However, excellent work-life balance, stability, working in different tech. areas with best minds w/o having to relocate and start over again, and wonderful quality of life, especially in NM if you love outdoors.

Employees are not government employees. It's a government owned contractor operated (GOCO) FFRDC, a non-profit. Like any big organization, there is a fair amount of beaurocracy and people issues to deal with. Having a team of former "A" students and ranking them is not conducive to teamwork although for all large projects or initiatives, it's a must. Multi-displinary teams range in size from a few to 100's and are spread out in many locations around the country. Opportunity to interact with Wasington lawmakers and agency e ecutives.

Davos 2023: Spain says 'close to deal' with Britain on Gibraltar
Cool tool! Just a suggestion - building something like this for Zendesk (or any help center) would be an absolute game-changer!
The elephant in the room -- unfortunately, there cannot be enough batteries made to support this. That is why I invested in Tesla -- don't care about EVs, but the battery play is good! Backup power for personal/family use? I use a Firman generator - 20 litres of fuel per day of operation at load. (here, $30 Canadian). Since the generator was only $300 and load is 3000W, this is a much better deal for me.
And... at the rates being bandied about here... if anyone EVERY offers, say, $1/KWh - That grosses me $70 per $30 of gas. I would take that incentive. Note that the generator would pay for itself every 10 days by my reckoning.. And the recycling of the motor is already a solved problem.
So... $1/KWh is way too much. $0.50/KWh is also too much (and note that my gasoline pricing is around $1.50/litre at the pump -- $22.41 US for 20 liters ...

So the actual amount should be around 32 cents per KW/h... 50 cents work fine because that factors in "wear and tear" -- do those numbers work for batteries? Of course, buying electricity is 7 to 15 cents/KWh here.

I would want LiFePo4 for this application; at current rates, a 10KWh battery runs $10,000. From that, I determine that I can "just" buy much more effective gas/natural gas/propane burning generators. Something like the Generac 6551. Natural gas is .23/c3 or around $1 for one hour of 7000W operation... actually looking competitive with electricity grid rates (except wear&tear on the generator).

Note that I do have a hybrid car. So, not "anti-electric" by any means. I just don't think that enough batteries can be made for this application. Certainly NOT be 2030 (6 years? Oh really?)
The theory doesn't predict that they'll suddenly reach out to the far extreme end. The elections are close, and they don't need to alter their whole strategy, just nudge it. The idea is called the Median Voter Theorem because they're trying to pull in a centist element, not an extreme one.

The Median Voter Theorem does predict that they'd reach for the most conservative centrists, but that's an overly naive model for the short term. It may well work in the long term, but in the short term they can try to get higher voter turnout among people who are nominally their supporters anyway -- a thing not modeled in the math of the Median Voter Theorem.
It's good that you ask the question that most of people get information from English media.

Taiwan as many people mentioned here is a democracy. It has freedom of speech. So it's easy to get the information from the source inside Taiwan.

Long story short:
It's very mixed. There are people want to re-unit with China and even expect the mainland using military means. Pro-independence group is much larger but majority like to keep the existing status while tend to independence.

Here are some media that show views against Western perception which seems originated from MSM .

There are much more. But again as I mention they are minority

(Claim: I'm not saying that MSM is trusted by Western audience. On the contrary a lot of people especially young generation don't trust or even disdain MSM. However the Taiwan issue is an exception.）
As an aside, if you are an international PhD student, thinking of doing postdoc, National labs provide much better pay and work/life balance compared to Universities. However, you don't get any priority or positive consideration in your Green Card because you work in US National labs (EB1A). You will be treated the same way as working/studying in a random foreign university.

I imagine it is in part backlash, fueled by political impulse. Mozilla's appointment of Mitchell Baker and subsequent course of Firefox development have taken on unmistakable political valence in the US culture war (especially seeing how its drift could be uncharitably glossed as "coddling non-technical users at the expense of power users"), which resulted in criticism invariably sounding like, and, I guess, even really somewhat functioning* as an attack on the political group that Mozilla is associated with. This, in turn, makes those who support said political group, or simply are exasperated with its most vocal opponents, instinctively oppose the criticism.

The functionality to poison the address space is there, and it does work.

What you're encountering is one of two exceptions in the implementation where you might not get an immediate failure:

1. If you use only a very small amount of an arena chunk and free it, it goes back on a reuse list as an optimization. Accessing that chunk's memory, despite the fact that the arena was freed, is entirely memory safe: nothing else will use that memory. That address space will be properly poisoned once the arena chunk is full, or close to it.
2. If the GC is actively marking, arena chunk poisoning is delayed to avoid races with the GC that might cause it to dereference a pointer into poisoned memory. The arena chunk is poisoned as soon as the GC is done.

The API explicitly does not guarantee a crash on use-after-free[1] because the Go team wanted a valid implementation of arenas to be simply "new" for New and noop for Free. The point is to just stay memory safe and have a high probability of catching an issue _in production_ where presumably arenas are filled up (otherwise why are you using arenas?).

Edit: arguably that optimization should just be turned off for MSAN/ASAN mode for greater user-friendliness, which seems reasonable. I think that was just an oversight.

>How do you see the path from no autonomy, to partial autonomy, to full autonomy?

Honestly that isn't the question here and also not society's problem. If Tesla can't make the business model work, that is a Tesla problem.

Plenty of other companies are making great progress on autonomous vehicles without passing a non-working system off as something that "drives itself (no human input at all) thru urban streets to highway to streets, then finds a parking spot". It is more expensive that way and requires more upfront costs, but thems the breaks.

This thread is literally about a deposition in a court case. It might not require any change of law. It might not be a criminal trial, but civil cases can be just as effective at getting bad actors and their faulty products out of the market.

Radiologist.

Depending on the protocol, CT scans usually take anywhere from 5 seconds to 10 minutes (in the longer scans most of that is waiting after contrast injection).

MRI studies take a long time to acquire data, usually at least 20 minutes for very short/limited studies. More involved protocols can take hours. Patient throughput is slower.

Is that why only Democrat led states have higher minimum wages, non compete bans, paid parental leave, pay transparency, higher unemployment benefits, and other worker friendly policies?

We appreciate the good luck! We're definitely going to need it. I spoke to the security side in a previous comment, but here's some thoughts on the other points you mentioned:

* A/B testing: We're grabbing the browser session data, which includes things like cookies and local storage. In our experience, this tends to be where A/B testing group identifiers are stored. But, if it was on something like the IP, then, yeah, it is pretty hard for us to get around.

* Extensions: Yeah, this is a really tricky one. We've resorted to asking some of our more active customers, who've had these issues with content blockers, to use a separate browser profile. One thing we do for this (which also can help solve the first point) is what we call "smart capture", in which we capture based on a DOM selector, instead of x/y coordinates. That way, no matter the page layout, we get it right. The hard part of this, though, is this is not reliable on every site, and we've only enabled it on sites that we know it works well on.

* Networking/auth issues: This is a really fun one! I mentioned it in another comment, but we're doing some logic around detecting logged out state, with an image classification model, and checking the HTTP status code for resource requests. When we can detect it, we send the user an email, and give them a flow where they log back in, and allow our extension to capture the state data again. On networking, we can't get around things like corporate intranets of course, but these seem to be rare for our customers. We also will just retry the capture if there's a network error, and we notify people when there are errors, so they can take action accordingly.
You know you can mute notifications and ignore until you decide to look into it?
If you identify an area as risky, it's trivial in Rust to do a checked_add or saturating_add. The challenge is obviously identifying this, but having easy library functions anectotally leads to people looking for it in code reviews.

My solution to this problem had been to put the category name and all other product attributes in a full text search field and then index it. So that a search for "blue shirt" will select all shirt even if the title doesn't include it.

And then fine tune what to return by putting "and" or "or" in between keywords based on that search engine's behavior.

This hides the work of the subprocess from the parent. So if a, b, or c depend on other objects, make would need to stat them to discover they are built, maybe make -j could lead to them being built in parallel creating a race condition.

It's better to leave the whole dependency tree in the same makefile by not having a make subprocess, then let make do its dependency magic correctly with full information, enabling -j to get a parallel build.
Over here (New Zealand) they usually content themselves with insisting that Facebook must give money to old-media companies to compensate them for loss of revenue.

I think part of the problem is that old-Media companies have lost a lot of revenue and laid off a lot of people in the last few years. Journalists directly blame Facebook (rather than say Auction or Jobs sites) for their friends losing their jobs.

If a baseball teams wins their first four games and you see them in the seventh inning behind by 30 points in game 5, when you predict game 5's winner is the relevant correlation how the team did in games 1 to 4 or is the relevant correlation how a team who is that far behind a particular game tends to do?

I simply noted you appear incapable of perceiving Elon as making bad decisions, which is kind of funny, since he seemed to think agreeing to buy Twitter was a bad decision, and was in the process of losing a court case about it before he saw the writing on the wall and closed the agreement.

If only things actually worked that way. The vast majority of voters don't exercise that power. Moreover, state and local governments are more vulnerable to capture by rent-seekers and other special-interest groups bent on shaping public policy to suit their desires.
That's exactly what a balance sheet does. Offset assets and liabilities.
Are you saying the price is negative during high PV production? In sane markets like Finland solar panel owners need to pay for generating electricity to the grid if the price is negative (which is it sometimes).
No, I think the GP comment is fair. The US is bad at counterinsurgency and occupation, because it's not comfortable with naked imperialism. I read 'on the battlefield' as specifically referring to force-on-force military conflict, which is something different.
Yes, lots of palpitations. To the point where I wore a monitor for a few days so that my cardiologist could evaluate.

With hyperaldosteronism, because your body retains elevated levels of sodium, it dumps potassium. The low potassiums is probably the main cause of the palpitations.

Low potassium is a marker for hyperaldosteronism.

I actually saw a few problems: one that you mentioned with actually remembering, another with the friction of having to go to an app/write on paper etc, and another with the way to follow up on that data (browse and analyze).

It all hinges on whether or not they had a warrant to surveill the ISIS site.

If the police have a warrant to plant a hidden camera at a crackhouse, I don't see why they would have to reveal its existence, when they later stop and search a car full of drugs at a perfectly legal search at a border checkpoint. If they didn't have a warrant... That's an ethical problem, and it runs afoul of the fruit of the poisoned tree.

Likewise, if there's an informant or a mole at the crackhouse, do you think the police are obliged to notify the world of his identity, every time they arrest someone he tips them off to?
Interesting article. Thanks.

Noticed a lot of use of setq... Wondering if this is simply the author's muscle memory or if there is a speed or reduced complexity advantage compared to using setf.

I think this kind of demonstrates the amazing plasticity of Lispy environments. There are multiple ways of doing something as relatively straightforward as assignment, all within the one version of the environment (I know, other langs can do this too, but still neat).

Late stage to me indicates that some sort of optimal state has been reached, not that the thing will be gone soon. Late stage construction is a nearly complete building for instance. Late stage capitalism is certainly used in this manner as it's meant to refer to the end result of poor incentives being applied over a long period of time.
Utilities don't yet have a million EV batteries laying around, but they (or specialist EoL battery companies) will soon.

Half seems conservative to me. There are already lots of startups wanting your end-of-life EV battery.
Because saturating math is not "more right", just "different wrong". The "right" way of checking an error condition after every integer operation is prohibitively expensive.

From the language side, what I wish for is a sort of NaN for integer operations. I would not want to check for overflow on every operation, but I would want to know after a couple of them if somewhere an overflow had occurred. On the hardware side this could be done with a sticky overflow bit, which some architectures already support.

I think the ball is on the hardware side and in my opinion Rust did the most sensible thing possible with contemporary hardware.
