While I've never seen a thorough explanation either, it seems intuitive enough to me. A sprung pin will fall through the hole of a punchcard, and will not if there is no hole. The motion of that pin can be amplified through clockwork to drive a greater mechanism. Note particularly the escapement:

And, of course, if you -do- agree to just let the money go, they won't actually charge you.

So the people who can afford to lose the money (criminals) get to avoid a charge just by bribing the cops, and the people who did nothing wrong have to pay the cops.

Crooked all around.
This is true in a sense, but we now have a different restriction, called a mobile view.
Imagine you have a smart, multi-purpose robot that has been trained to be a jack-of-all-trades.

The robot knows a little about a lot of things, but the extent of its knowledge about any specific thing is generally limited.

Fine-tuning (or just tuning) basically equates to some extra training to become better at some specific task. In a very basic sense, fine-tuning a model with additional data about some task just trains the model to know more about that specific task.

For example, you might buy a general-purpose cleaning robot for the home which can do a lot of different cleaning chores, but if you have special china plates that need to be cleaned in a certain way, you would want to train your robot a little more than its factory defaults. That extra training is "fine-tuning".
I think this is mainly an issue of a lack of formal structure. A bad way to start a company with your cofounder is to expect to reach a consensus on decisions and only that moves forward. It’s hard for 2 people to consistently reach consensus, it’s impossible for more than 2. There needs to be a clear formal hierarchy, people lower in the hierarchy can always disagree voice out the thought but they must commit once the decision has been made (Disagree but commit). If as the leader you see employees doing things behind your back, first you fire them especially if it is duplicitous. Then you have a long reflection on why your decisions were bad enough that employees felt the need to do this. It may be time to hire a new CEO if you think you cannot hold employee respect and trust. There is a sort of prevalent myth in Silicon Valley, that friends start startups and the company structure is flat in its initial days. There are far too many examples disproving this (Amazon, Facebook, PayPal etc) and even in the case where you have friendly cofounders, you still find an implicit hierarchy built on respect and trust which is probably the ideal form of hierarchy. However lack of hierarchy is a recipe for a mess of a company, formalizing hierarchy kills a lot of politics.

Are you saying in office teams don't document things? No meeting notes, no tickets, no updated documentation and that's because they are not remote?

Remote work forces companies to work as they should have already be doing things. Or in other words, it exposes dysfunctional orgs.

I know this is suppose to be self-soothing for a managers ego, but unfortunately you are responsible for their failures if their failures result in projects going over budget or over schedule. You are responsible for creating an environment in which they can thrive AND also not f-up momentum for others. Thats a tricky task with a lot of nuance.

At the end of the day, as a manager, you are responsible for the teams success and failure. You don't really get to say "sorry we delivered late and/or over budget, a single contributor on our team is failing to execute well and thats not MY problem". A manager is responsible for a projects failure or success which, yes, means being responsible for employees who seem to be failing at the task.

What being responsible means is the more complicated question completely brushed over in this article. Do you fire them? do you 'create a better environment' - how and how do you do it without impacting the team, projects, or budget.

Being a manager is an extremely nuanced social and political task that i dont think a large majority of people are skilled to do. Being highly technical or having decades of experience doing the technical part of the job will not prepare you for managing people, unfortunately.

It feels like it's almost illegal to own cash when I read this. Would someone please tell why? It's OK to live in a debt, probably a very high one, buying expensive things like luxury car in credit. Is it forbidden to save cash? If it's OK, then why is it suspicious to travel in a car with cash?

Of course they should be in prison, but the goal is also to stop them from doing this in the future, which is easily achievable be eliminating their incentive. They're not going to do it just for the money if they don't get any of it. Once there's no incentive, jail the rest.

Either fund it or shut it down. Either is fine with me. It's the extant-but-unfunded middle ground that's obviously broken.
They don't need funding. Seward county is virtually no/low crime. They likely could get by with a handful of officers, which the tax payers would likely gladly pay. No a lot of need for LE with 10K residents in the county in arguably the middle of no where (yes, it's ~20 from the capital of the state)

The link you provided doesn't support your claim of any particuly substantial change in global sea levels within the past 10,000 years.

The hodge podge collection of minor localised climate cell changes had little impact on the general stability of global climate parameters during the past 10,000 years. (You're rather overstating the chill spell in Europe for example).

Do you think that buying a Telsa will solve the pressing climate issues?

I don't follow your reasoning there.

A real dog is way more responsibility - you gotta walk it, feed it, keep it clean and healthy. It's quite expensive even if you adopt and it is no small task. A robo dog at worse is a few hundred in parts - no worse than a single vet visit and charging the battery.
There’s two kinds of asking for help.

There’s asking for help when you know it will accelerate things for everyone.

There’s asking for help to avoid responsibility.

Do the former while avoiding the latter.
I’ve always been puzzled why simply being the POC for a sale means you get a huge commission. A lot goes into what they are selling, from the product, to company reputation, to quality and support options. The person doing the convincing and negotiating a price seems as fungible as an engineer yet commands much higher premiums. Would love explanations!
This!

But I'll add one more: "Standardisation". Every RESTful API uses different URL paths, naming schemes, HTTP verbs, data structures, headers. Whereas those are defined by the GraphQL spec.

When consuming or creating a GraphQL API, those (usually meaningless) decisions are defined by the spec, so I only need to learn how the data is structured. Since it's a spec, my queries can be strongly typed in both frontend and backend.
> The online service wreck site has a catalogue of 209,640 boats known to have sunk, 179,110 of which have a known location. The Global Maritime Wrecks Database (GMWD), on the other hand, contains the records of more than 250,000 sunken vessels, though some of these still haven't been found.
Everything made since is simultaneously more complicated and less useful, and LDAP just does one thing well, so it's here to stay
> Front end devs will add the videoRating field and have no idea that this comes from a separate API and causes the response time to double.

That's absolutely wonderful problem for the backend and db teams to detect and solve. Cache it, use another data structure, pre-calculate, build cunning indexes, if you can't do anything just throw hands in the air and say it cannot be done. Neither frontend team nor the client does care about backend woes. And frontend team doesn't want to be kept in the game of telephone as backend negotiates solutions for performance with the client.

That's what GraphQL does. Provides better separation of responsibilities between the teams and lowers the amount of conflicts and delays because of the reduction of verbal communication necessary.

> Developing some gragantuan do-it-all meta API as a sandbox for frontend engineers is a terrible idea.

It's not a sandbox for developers. It's for the clients. I know it's painful for the backend developers that front end doesn't want to be involved in challenges to the backend caused by customer's requests and how often they change. GraphQL makes those problems owned by backend devs and noone else.

> I really favor collaboration on purpose built APIs than gargantuan do-it-all systems.

Same as with the software itself, well separated parts, clear non-overlapping responsibilities, small, well defind interfaces between the parts result in better outcomes.

Games already cost an insane amount to develop. I would imagine that they would either have to have less content or less realism or cost more.

Plus, there's a limited pool of devs who can do 3D game engines(I sure can't!), the more wheel reinvention, the less available resources to do new things.

And then wheel reinvention also leads to incompatibility. For some reason it's fashionable for formats and protocols to include optional features instead of making everything mandatory. The big ones support all common ones, the DIY ones usually just support the options they need, and exporting from one and importing to another might do something weird, it takes a lot of work to support the de facto undocumented standard that emerges from sets of optional features with a few popular implementations.

Large libraries are debuggable too, because the reuse lets devs throw insane amounts of resources at debugging them even if it's really hard. And for the same reason, they can often be pretty well optimized. Modern software seems to be pretty fast now that Moore's law slowed a bit..

In theory, it's really cool that smaller solutions are fixable, but I'm just not sure we could actually have all this software everywhere running the whole world with small and simple in house code.... I mean, that's kind of what we had in the early 2000s, and while most things in general seemed better and people were happier.... everything that ran on a PC from the Win95 to the Win11 era seemed pretty insecure and unreliable.
Yes. I am addressing the second-order effects of each motivation.

Let's grant that the harms of the kind of speech you're worried about are exactly the same in either case. [0] Platforming "racist harassment" because of a political commitment to free speech implies that other forms of controversial speech will get the same treatment, preventing the kind of line-discovery I described in my previous comment.

"Platforming racist harassment because you just kinda like racist harassment" leads to who knows what. All we know about that person is that they like racist harassment. Maybe other stuff gets banned. Maybe not. Either way, it's unlikely to be in service of avoiding harmful second-order effects.

So that's an enormous difference between the two motivations. In the first case the position is in defense of an ethic of open dialogue and an attempt to prevent second-order effects that are harmful to that dialogue.

In the second case -- who knows.

It seems to me that the first motivation is much more likely to prevent the kinds of second-order effects I'm worried about and that distinguishes it from the second one.

Without wanting to offer an opinion on the case presented in this article, and certainly not wanting to argue in favor of civil asset forfeiture, which is obviously abused nationwide, the author of this news piece definitely smoothed down the facts alleged in Bouldin's case:

The officer testified to various pieces of information that he obtained during the stop that led him to believe that Bouldin intended to purchase a large amount of marijuana with the seized money. Among other things, the officer testified that Bouldin told the officer he was traveling from his home in Virginia to Colorado; that a certified drug dog positively indicated the presence of illegal narcotics in the vehicle; that Bouldin's phone had pictures of marijuana taken in both Virginia and Colorado; that a Colorado area code phone number had sent text messages to Bouldin's phone containing photographs and video of what the officer identified as marijuana and "THC wax"; that Bouldin had sent text messages to the same number requesting "8 widow" and "8 goat"; and that in the officer's opinion, the person using the other phone number was offering to sell marijuana and "THC wax," and that Bouldin was agreeing to make a purchase. The State also introduced evidence that Bouldin had previously been convicted in Utah of attempted possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.

Bouldin's attorney did an abysmal job with this case, with Bouldin originally failing to appear at all, and then filing an appeal that failed to state any meaningful arguments. Again: obviously, there's a counterpoint that people shouldn't have to hire lawyers to keep their cash, I get it.
Hell, even without specific trade secrets to protect, Facebook wants to control the narrative about their project and thus wants to discourage leaks.

Cars are sometimes sized in civil forfeiture, so let’s apply that to cars!

This raises the question: why drive a valuable car? Two things can be true at the same time: cops should not be seizing cars from folks on the side of the road without clear evidence of a crime, and it looks shady as hell if you are traveling in an $18k+ car.
...also if you make deposits just under $10k or make multiple deposits that add up to $10k+ in $ArbitraryTimePeriod they can be reported as suspected "structuring." Structuring is a technique to spread out transactions to avoid reporting. But it also catches people who just happen to have transactions that look like structuring. There was an example of a rural store owner that made deposits around $8k because that was their revenue and it got seized because the government thought they were structuring.
I still maintain that the person who wrote that article was either doing it just to drive traffic by making bold claims about the design, or was completely unqualified to be discussing the topic and happened to touch on something viral.

At the root of it, products are all designed to be as cheap as possible to produce while meeting the product requirements. Beats are positioned as a "premium fashion" product, not a audiophile sound product, and when you are selling that type of product look and feel is very important to get right to justify the high price. The price of a product has very little to do with the actual cost in such a market, where high prices convey status and drive the desire to purchase the product to show they are more well off than those that can't afford it.

On the product design side, the design isn't even that egregious. Most of the weight is the headphone slider mechanism, where metal is a better choice as metal riding on plastic is going to be more durable and feel better than plastic on plastic unless materials and design are very carefully considered. The other two parts are just light cosmetic parts that absolutely were designed to be accents that looked good, and give that premium look (at extra cost, they could have just painted plastic metallic for less). It isn't like they took a couple pieces of pot metal and glued them inside the earcups to make them heavier, both parts have a function even if one is primarily cosmetic.

I think it's simply a matter of bad incentives. Cops get to keep 50% (or some number) of what they seize? A bunch of anonymous people driving through with no ties to the community? Open season is the prevailing thought.

Don't know where you put seized assets though because it gets sticky wherever they go.
Yeah but to get to that point, you had to ingest a lot of data (i.e. all those exercises in the book).
