I remember getting into it with a Google person in a forum once. They kept insisting they couldn't do real, portable files in Google Drive for Docs because that would break collaboration. They didn't seem able to understand I didn't want collaboration. I wanted to be able to open my word processor/spreadsheet/etc files in other tools without needing to connect to the internet (predates offline mode). I wanted to be able to back them up somewhere (3-2-1 strategy). I wanted to be able to do automated analysis across all my writing. In short, I wanted to own my files.

They simply could not conceive of a use case that was offline or didn't trust Google to be reliable. I honestly don't think they ever used a real desktop office suite. They had no model in their head to understand it.
Oh, I guess I never even considered doing that for some reason.

If you just run "pip install" doesn't literally tell you to use the --user flag or virtualenv?

I guess it's probably an easy mistake to make.
Cheaper, more diligent, less likely to cause issues.... Well at least these are some of the reasons I've been told.

Also Nepalese isn't necessarily Nepali citizens. India and Nepal are so intertwined, both countries citizens have free passage across each other. A significant percentage of Indian citizens in the very highly populated states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Bengal are of Nepalese origin. I would assume the total number of Nepalese Indians would be at least 30-50 million, considering that the collective population of the above 3 states alone amounts to roughly 460 million.
Wait, "react week"?

In what way is trying to cram learning react into one week a good idea? Especially if someone is already unfamiliar or struggling with classes and functions and using the tools. I've seen experienced programmers not really grasp react in a week.

This feels like a "if we skip all the fundamentals to train 'marketable' programmers as fast as possible then they struggle with fundamentals" problem.
I'm hopeful that climate change will prevent AI doom, because that seems to be the best outcome at the moment.
Sorry but I checked your comment history and it’s dense with posts scalding people for their mental gymnastics and their pathetic nature. Perhaps interacting with forums isn’t bringing out your best side? Doesn’t seem like it’s working out that well.
This was a smaller prototype. Unless they release a theoretical Isp model for scaling up the engine (which, would we believe them if they did?) we can't know for certain yet.
If we saw Yellowstone spawning a sequence of ever massively larger quakes and ground disturbance, or if we observed a massive distant asteroid continually closing in on Earth with higher and higher collision probability, then yes we should be pulling out all the stops and reconfiguring society to do whatever is necessary to save the species.

The NSA don't have some big magic machine that can recover data that's been overwritten. It's gone.

The idea of using some latent amount of data on the disk and somehow averaging it all out to get the old data might maybe have worked a tiny bit on old MFM drives in the 1980s.

These are "services" that happen to be powered by software. The software is run by a business. For example if an api starts returning copyrighted images, or worse, I think its going to be an issue.

Specific carve outs in the law that allow business to host stuff you post without responsibility (thus DCMA takedowns and such). But when they're creating the content it becomes harder to say "not responsible".
It seems that 25% paragraph on wikipedia cites a non-technical article[1] from 2018:

"Theoretical calculations have shown that detonation combustion is 25% more efficient than the isobaric combustion cycle, which corresponds to constant-pressure combustion, which is implemented in the chambers of of modern liquid propulsion engines."

From another article[2] of the same year:

"Conservatively speaking, a rotating detonation combustor, or RDC, should reduce specific fuel consumption by about 5% compared to a conventional engine. This measure of fuel efficiency is calculated by dividing fuel consumption by power output. A rotating detonation engine generates more power, which drives down specific fuel consumption. A reduction on the order of 5 percent would be a breakthrough, given that designers of conventional engines “try to eke out fractions of a percent,” says Scott Claflin, director of advanced concepts at the Rocket Shop, Aerojet Rocketdyne’s innovation organization."

> You can go after FTX, what do I have to do with that?

Liquidity for cashing out will begin to dry up and more on other exchanges such as Binance will do the same thing.

Decentralised Exchanges (with absolutely no investor protections, unregulated and are highly prone to rug pulls) will be ordered to shut down, also forcing a drain on liquidity.

Once crypto crashes the market will 'loot' your wallet by deeming your crypto worthless and you will forever try to cash out your worthless coins.

> Do people really think AI will go haywire like in the Hollywood movies?

No, it will just make every inequality even harder to fight. Because computer algorithm can't be biased so every decision it makes will be objective. And because it's really hard to know why AI made decision, it will be impossible to accuse it of racism, bigotry, xenophobia. While rich and powerful will be ones deciding (through hands of "developers") what data will be used to train AIs.
There seems a lot of negative perception of the guy here, and OpenAI definitely deserve criticism for some stuff (so as the CEO, so does he), but - even if it was built on the work of others, and with the obvious caution about what may come next - he and they deserve immense respect and credit for bringing in this new AI age.

They did it. Nobody else.

The 6950 was my first powerful graphics card. It was a great card

I bought it used on eBay & it had already been abused. One day it died, and the company that made it told me they had no replacements, so they sent me a brand new 7950 no questions asked.

That company was MSI. I went on to recommend MSI to others for years because of that incident & one other good reason.

Then in 2016 MSI dicked me on a $2200 laptop that had an ungodly amount of issues straight from the factory any decent company would RMA. The amount of reports on the internet about those specific models having issues were insane, & the company just did not care in the slightest.

I’ve since denounced MSI after that. I presume MBAs had at some time taken over & ran customer service into the ground.

I still have the old 6950 in storage somewhere.

Some point about how to both gain and lose a customer in this text, I think. I mean, over-tightening a laptops hinges in the factory, to the point they one day suddenly & catastrophically fail, dropping your 1440p 120hz screen - knowing of the issue & not informing customers, let alone an RMA - is just fukt. and that was only one of the many, many issues (coil whine & completely inadequate cooling being some others)
I only know of Coinbase. It doesn’t really matter how many exchanges there are, its about the capital, any way you spin it they have more capital then their customers so they set the supply and demand. When they lose a lot of customers, they just burn cash to drive the price up. That’s why they keep failing.
Surely, new development can hide the parking in multi-level underground parkades. That solution isn't being rolled in those specific lots for whatever reason. We would have to interview the land owners to understand why they don't develop it into something more useful, and possibly with more parking than it has now. Might it be they are hanging on to the land as an investment, hoping to get more money in the future, and the taxation of parking lots is favorable, not to mention operating costs? Next to no utility bills, no roofs to patch, ...
This is a self-regulating problem.

Ok, but lets see why this is generally illegal:

* They approached their stolen truck

* There was a person in the truck

* They assumed the person in the truck was the thief

* They presumably threatened the occupant

* The occupant responded by drawing a gun

* The shoot the occupant

Now, what happens if their assumption that the occupant is the thief is wrong

* Sitting in truck - maybe you just bought it, maybe it's a friend, coworker, or family members (in this scenario the first option seems implausible, but the others are fine)

* Someone you don't know approaches you

* The person starts accusing you of stealing the truck and threatening you with guns

* You pull out your gun to defend yourself

For the people who found their truck cannot distinguish these two scenarios. It is literally not possible for them to, and in the latter case the occupant of the truck is _defending_ themselves. This is the same reason you can't steal something back.

Finally, theft doesn't carry the death penalty, and the people whose truck was stolen were not in danger. If the thief drew a gun they should have withdrawn.
Google Assistant answers all my calls from unknown numbers and asks them to state what they're calling about. It transcribes the text in real time for me, and if I don't answer it saves that conversation for me to review later. Perfect.

I'm not worried about a nation state spending a billion dollars. I'm worried about someone looking at an unalloated section of the drive, or in the sectors that the drive marked "bad", etc.

But many exchanges have been caught doing this already. FTX for example was clearly price fixing by using there own coins to prop up bitcoin.
I'd wager most folks who know about wpa_supplicant didn't learn about it in school. Hacking around wifi on laptops wasn't a school thing, it was often the same sort of thing this is... self-exploration.

Just depending on age you might refer to it as "a tool called wpa_supplicant to manage its wireless connections, which is not uncommon on older android versions" vs "wpa_supplicant, an old standby Linux wifi management program" or somesuch.
Thank you for your reply!

The death by a thousand cuts is real. Where I work we use Slack for nearly everything, we pretty much only have email addresses to login to Slack and AWS.

I have definitely found with the diverse bunch of people that I work with, that some people are very articulate in writing and some are very articulate in verbal communication. My personal experience is that people with English as a second language (in general) prefer written communication (they also write the best docs too). While native English speakers tend to prefer verbal communication for its ease and because of their comfort with it.

One piece of advice from me to you is to be careful of relying on speech to text for two main reasons:
1. Consider proper nouns, the products or tools that your customers are building or using. An example, I say "emacs", Siri on my phone thinks that should be "IMAX". Another example is `grep`, Siri thinks that ought to be "grape". Perhaps users would be able to define their proper nouns for flowy.

2. Despite having fluent English that is understandable to the vast majority of people, speech to text systems really struggle to understand me because I do not speak in a flat American accent. Perhaps it's just me :shrug:
It is like they want to lose customers. Even Teslas, which have a good UX that people like, still gets people complaining they wish it had CarPlay or Android Auto. It is just a nice extension of your phone that costs automakers basically nothing to implement. If they think they are going to create their own app stores people buy apps and subscriptions from they are delusional.

We bought a Toyota recently that will require us to pay to use the app if we want to keep using remote start. The app does nothing, but for some reason remote start is locked behind the subscription. I won’t be paying for it.
I had a similar experience, though it was years ago. Found a minor bug in Elastic Beanstalk and opened a ticket. They confirmed the bug and rolled out a fix in the afternoon. I was very impressed.

Creatures living in the deep simply equalize their internal and external pressures and don’t feel the pressure as some kind of weight they need to withstand.

This is why when you bring them to the surface quickly they die from the sudden decrease in pressure. As to eyes bioluminescence is common in the deep and nothing would bother if nobody had eyes.

It's a bit of a mess in our tax system that causes this.

The highest official tax bracket is 45%[0], which comes into effect once you earn over £150,000.

The "higher" rate bracket is from ~£50,000 to £150,000, HOWEVER:

Once you reach £100,000, your tax-free personal allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 you earn, so that bottom section of your earnings enter into the 20% bracket when they were 0% previously, so effectively you're marginally taxed 60% (40% + 20%) on your earnings between £100,000 and £125,140.

Between £125,140 and £150,000 you're back at 40%! Anything over £150,000 is taxed at 45%.

Also, if you're (un)fortunate enough to be a parent with young children and you benefit from tax-free child care[1] (to which pretty much everyone is entitled), the second you earn a penny over £100,000 (after pension deductions, but before tax etc) you lose the ~£2000 per child annual benefit.

Effectively this means that if any one parent in a household gets a pay rise from £100,000 to £100,000.01 (ignoring the pensions contributions for a moment), they are actually ~£2000 per child worse off. These people are therefore better off earning £100,000 than £100,000 + (£2000*N) where N is the number of children at tax-free childcare age, until their children age out of the benefit.

In case that's not enough; the moment you earned that extra 1p over £100,000, you're now obligated to start filing tax returns, even if you're a PAYE employee never having done so before [2].

This kind of phenomenon is pretty common, basically due to network effects. Consider how many small town motels in the US are owned by Patels.

For two burritos in my microwave:

1. Position burritos on plate so the fold is on top and facing out

2. Microwave on high for 1 minute

3. Turn burritos over so fold is on bottom and facing in, so that if the fold busts it stays on the plate

4. Poke three sets of holes in top of each burrito with fork, evenly spaced

5. Microwave on high for 45 seconds

I have fine tuned my microwave burrito skills over the decades to have a perfectly microwaved burrito that is both not cold and doesn't burst. Problem is, there's no 45 second button on the microwave, so I usually press 2 for two minutes (if I give it a few seconds it'll start on it's own) and I try to make it back in time. I don't always get it and the ends might bust just a little bit.
NATO proved in Yugoslavia that it's not "just a defensive alliance", and since their stated goal is to fuck over Russia, then you can see exactly why they responded the way they did when NATO keeps closing the circle tighter and tighter around Russia.

This doesn't require guesswork, our own intelligence agencies have stated this as the likely outcome for decades.
I don’t know that this is true.

At very least they both share immense responsibility for causing individual harm. Sure the government may start a war, but that war can’t happen without bombs and bullets, and in America at least those factories aren’t run by the government. There is an intermediate step oftentimes, but I don’t think that necessarily disconnects companies from responsibility.

If you work at a guided bomb factory you may not be the person dropping it, but you are responsible for the destruction it causes in a small way.

Also, if global warming kills us all then it is likely that the oil companies bear some responsibility for it right?

Government sucks - I agree with that statement, but we shouldn’t act like corporations are appreciably less responsible.
There aren't any fundamental issues with putting the git repo in Dropbox. Under normal circumstances, to cause a conflict you'd have to do something that writes to the git folder, then switch computers, pull up the same checkout, and do something else that writes to the git folder, all within less than half a minute.

And even then it's just something like having disagreement about an index file. Easy to resolve.
The absence of government just leads to a situation in which some group takes control of a given area. In effect government will then exist again. During the absence of government there will be chaos and rampant crime.
