A few years ago my dad was admitted into IC. I got a call at home from a funeral services company. I didn't make the connection.

My dad got out of IC, but was readmitted about a week later. I got a call from the same company again. This time I got it.

I had more pressing things to deal with at the time (including an actual funeral, unfortunately) but I do wish those who prey on people at their lowest a very long and very unhappy life.
I didn't go deep into the docs, but the 'movie' on the homepage clearly shows string-based field name mappings so I instantly saw that as a red flag...

Nice to know it's implemented better though.
The owners wouldn't have been able to make more out of their company without others working for them. So yes, they did create the wealth. The owners could've died at some point and the company still would create the wealth.

Up until to a certain point it takes those owners but it's a synergy.
8 characters isn’t exactly long but I agree overall length is the main way to make a password stronger. Cue the xkcd comic.
>Space and the deep sea are the extreme limits, I think ‘regulation’ is really difficult because it is risky no matter who does it.

But this is why regulations exist in the first place. That's like saying we shouldn't regulate surgery, because it's always risky.

We should require certain credentials and safety measures for people who want to take civilians to the ocean floor in a tiny sub. I don't think that should be a controversial take.

The onus to make sure that a service they are going to use isn't any more dangerous than it has to be, shouldn't be on the consumer. I don't want to live in a society that thinks it's acceptable to hand-wave death and suffering away as if human lives are acceptable collateral in the "free market" correcting itself.

Customers would still understand that the thing they're going to do is super dangerous, but they should be able to rest easy knowing that the company they're using for this meets some minimal level of safety.
What a shitshow. In Socialist Sweden this would be illegal grounds.
Do they produce enough UV to expose platinotype? Most of the modern lights you see are LEDs that produce mostly visible light.

You can get UV bulbs, but at this point in our scenario we’re modifying enlargers, and the enlarging lens may focus differently in the UV region from the visible region (something you’d have to check and compensate for). Normally you’d focus an enlarger visually, perhaps with a grain focuser—maybe at this point you’d be focusing manually with the grain focuser in the visible region and then making some calculated adjustment for UV. Or you’d be hunting down a lens which was designed to have the same focal length into the relevant part of the UV spectrum.
Negatives are smaller than you typically want the final images to be, with contact printing you positive images would be the same size as the negative.

Printing for end user consumption almost always involved enlargement.

The cost, inconvenience, and increased light of large format cameras with silver based films made them unpopular too despite the reduction in quality.

Similar to the quality vs convenience tradeoff that results in people using cell phones as cameras.
This comment immediately clarified a thought I was trying to form after watching the video, which is: math is inherently part social activity, like almost everything else we do. Grant first described the ego thing in embarrassed negative terms like ‘childish’, but it’s a good idea to recognize that this self-deprecating framing isn’t the only way to look at it. Math is a language we learn and use to communicate, and being good (and being seen as being good) at speaking the language is usually an important step to taking part in the conversation.
so you think things shouldnt be done just because they are complicated?
Waze would've been a much better fit with Facebook because of its social angle.
I tried the amiunique fingerprinter with my iPhone, software updated to the latest version, stock Safari browser, and it said I was unique among all however many users had tried before.

How hot are they? You don’t want to scorch anything.
In the last several years I've done work for some three letter agencies and fortune 500s. None of them required a technical interview really, only about half required a social fit interview. I'm starting to think my experience is really unusual.

Edit: I just remembered I did a piece of work for a power company. The technical lead talked to me before hand and told me the one technical question he was going to ask me during the otherwise social fit interview.
What is this? Article makes no sense, and the numbers must be 1000x the actual value. Classic The Verge.

Are datacaps normal on fibre in the US? I was first thinking it was mobile data. 1 Gbps 5G with 100 GB usage before the speed is reduced to 3 Mbps for the rest of the month is ~37 USD in Norway. As for fiber, ~100 USD is a normal price for 1 Gbps no matter how much data you use.
heh, a few years ago I cancelled my Prime membership but Amazon still charged me the $99 for the membership after I canceled...

So when I contacted them, I got a refund for the $99, but I also told them they needed to pay me a $25 inconvenice fee for having to waste my time to call them for this....

They paid it.
Personally I would hope for a mix of experience when it comes to a due diligence team… but I would lean HEAVILY towards more experience.
And? You could say the same about the union. I imagine the groups individuals are donating to are way more diverse compared to the union or Oracle as a whole
Too much bureaucracy and I have to go back to my country for it, even to the same city/parish, apparently. And they might take their time and just "deny" it! It needs the approval of a Bishop or something like that.

I'm considering other avenues. Someone mentioned I can also be excommunicated if I punch the pope, but so far I'm trying to avoid violent solutions.
That makes me really sad to read. Analytical observation papering over a deep emotional hole. Reminds me of Euler.
It’s as if you wake one day and suddenly find yourself in the midst of things without anyone asking you whether you actually wanted it. You don’t choose your epoch, parents or the nation or the religion you are into. You find yourself “thrown”. I meant it like that.
Sorry to say, but there's a "delete" option for every item on the checkout page. Just click the quantity dropdown and change it to "delete". Simple as.
I don't at all believe the people able to build models are that few. Aren't tons of people doing open source models already? I believe the number of people who have already built models to be low, but the number of people with the capability to build models to be very large. It's not magic.
There exist entire bodies of knowledge about ensuring that equipment meets the physical requirements of the intended use, that the systems are designed to fail in a safe(r) mode and have redundancies in case of failures, that processes are created to operate more accident-free and also recover from accidents, and the ability to manage and mitigate risk in general. These come from centuries of seafaring and aeronautics and decades of spacefaring.

It is all there, and just because you don't know about it and I cannot recite it all off the top of my head does not mean that it doesn't exist and that it could not be implemented. Regulators know how to find the right people to evaluate the risks and set suitable requirements. (That said, in some industries, regulatory capture and corruption is a real problem, but it does not seem to be the case here.)
Fair enough, Dongletown sucks. It’s a common enough thing on this forum that was the optics as I saw it, but additional context helps.

As far as CCS2 goes, or actually CCS Types I and II, there’s already a split between continents and regions on that one; and then there’s CHAdeMO and GB/T which are in active use. CCS aspired to be a global standard but it was never going to get there, not on this planet. There’s also another standard called MCS in development.

Still a better situation than wall outlets.
you'd want strlen("_shutdown")+1, since checking without the null-terminator means that you match with strings like '_shutdown123'.

It's one of the reasons why I detest the strcmp warning, as strcmp is perfectly safe given a literal string as a comparison, the comparison will drop out as not matching whenever the first NUL happens, and a literal string acts the same as specifying 'n'. Blind usage of strncmp leads to perhaps even more bugs than blind usage of strcmp.
RHEL saying '8' or '9' is supported for 10 years is misleading af. Each 'minor version' (which are, in fact, sometimes large changes!) is supported for it's own specific time period. Odd numbered (8.5, 8.7) for example are only supported for 6 months.

I prefer iPad over a laptop for a number of reasons:

- My main machine is a Mac desktop. I am not looking to add another powerful machine to the mix that I'm not going to use regularly. The iPad (or even another high quality laptop) would be just used as another beautiful screen, to work or watch Netflix on.

- I have a high quality, ergonomic Bluetooth keyboard that I pair with my both my Mac and my iPad. This means my ergonomics with my iPad is better than using a laptop with it's attached keyboard.

- I'm not looking to do long work sessions on these devices, although I honestly could. It's more for one off things, for updating my org-notes, for having a quick cafe work session, etc.

If you quote only half of the sentence, it suddenly means something else! When used to attack it’s a variation of the venerable ‘straw man’ debate technique.

Nice if Mr Siebenmann made insightful comments on a Usenet group about Unix but that doesn’t mean his comments about ARM computers are indisputable.

How about you summarize the points in the blog post that you agree with?
The Marketing Gap. Also the unfortunate detour with Novell and MicroFocus for a few years...
Well this comment certainly caught me off guard....either I'm misinterpreting your intended meaning, or it is one of the more paradoxical experiences I've had in recent memory....or, you were joking initially and are now dragging it out?

It's fun to think about anyways!
I would imagine that some civil liberties unions would have a lot of trouble with criminalizing "hatred". Not sure how accurate that fits the bill, but if it does, it wouldn't be the brightest bill among the stars or Ireland presumably.
I don't think so. Apple Stores are mostly a US thing.
Having hired dozens of developers in Berlin over the last 10 years, I can confirm that these numbers look awfully low, at least for any major city in Germany. Munich should be even higher, Hamburg comparable to Berlin. 80k max is maybe for a mid level dev, surely not for anyone considered senior. Or I always overpaid, but then salaries should be related to the contribution to the overall success, not on the average of whatever other companies, so no hard feelings here.

That sounds like a moat.
Interesting, yeah that sounds nice. In NA it's really bad, maybe they have toned it down, but it felt like every stop sign or red light I got an ad.
Wow this is terrifying, I read some of the details and if a bad government gets in power this is the type of law that could bring incredible abuse against journalist, comedians, etc... crazy town.

Does anyone know how it prevents misuse? As "hate" can be construed in such different ways.

Good. Let’s hope the fine is so high it means the end for Amazon. But I doubt it, so we’ll probably see them continuing to offer shitty UX for years to come.
Pretty sure this is how the human brain works. If we add models that can transform information into updates to existing models, then add a model that can process streams of information and determine which models to update with the information (and can also apply that process to itself), we start to approach a primitive brain, no?
Abusing site functions / mod powers because you disagree with what the site owner is doing is so childish. This whole thing is embarrassing. Just quit being a mod.
RLHF - reinforcement learning from human feedback
Nope! `node` is just a binary that executes JS code (e.g. the above code, mod a few syntax choice tweaks). Since JS has no static types, `node` has no types to check.

Other languages can be compiled (perhaps "transpiled") to JS, some of which have static type mechanisms. One of those other languages, TypeScript, has static types. There are tools to compile TypeScript into JS: `swc`, `tsc`, etc. There are also tools to statically type check TypeScript (`deno`, `tsc`, etc).

Personally, I use `swc` for speedy TS compilation. I use my IDE's `tsc` language server for the separate job of highlighting type issues. But everyone has their preferred workflow!
Out of curiosity, does that actually work out financially, or is it really cheap or are carbon forks really expensive?
The Spanish translation has similar errors. In particular the two "y" (and) in the initial sentence make it difficult to read. (I think it's grammatically correct, but it's too difficult to understand.) Also the name of the project imaginAIry is translated to "imaginación" (imagination), but it should have been left unchanged.

The term of service are in English, anyway.

I could not find where it says 99th percentile in the US is $1M, but it seems unreasonable based on recent run up in asset prices, especially homes. The median home price is north of $500k in the western US.

Come to think of it, I wonder if these net worth calculations incorporate present value of annuities such as Social Security benefits and defined benefit pensions.
That sort of clause still persists in EULAs. It's in iTunes'. Or it was just a few years ago at any rate and I assume still is.
Facebook works great from an engineering perspective? We have entirely different experiences then.

I can't even count the number of times a photo didn't load, a timeline didn't refresh, a like didn't register (or worse, got clicked on accidentally and then didn't unregister).

Google's products have their bugs but the main flows work. That's not the case with Facebook.
I never said we should do nothing! What we need to do is acknowledge the fact that networked computers are semi-public, and behave appropriately. Do you really need to put that information into a computer? Do you really need to give that information to someone who will put it into a computer? Do you really need to hook up your computer-based public infrastructure to the network? The cost/benefit evaluation changes when you remember that computer security doesn't exist.
Translation guide: when someone says "fair share" you can just read that as "more."
In Germany's case it's only the Catholic Church that does this shady stuff. It should have been like other churches, that only charge you if you frequent them in Germany. But the Catholic Lobby is strong, so if you have a register of baptism in Papua New Guine they will chase you and charge back taxes, even if your parents left the church, forgot to tell you about baptism, and were adopted by a family of another religion. Ooops.
I don't mind, for whatever reason it wasn't usable for me. And maybe it wasn't there.

Edit: I checked again. It isn't there. Note that I said checkout, not my cart. It has big CTA buttons to go straight to checkout without first going to the cart.
Best known? How about the music industry as a whole. Record labels are notorious for this. Bands rarely saw profit from album sales.
Wild the FTC isn't suing the NYTimes, WSJ, or every other paid news outlet for far more egregious cancellation process practices. Almost as if the FTC is a political weapon.
It’s in the name: speed “limit”. It’s not called “only allowed speed”. There are many reasons one should travel slower than it such as rain or to let vehicles pass.

for clarity, a safe driver would maintain a lower speed to allow the car line to pass.

Or it could’ve ended up at 1/3 by the end of the lockup. With cash, they’re free to put it into FB stock, if they want, though statistically (especially from a variance/gut wrenching swings perspective), an S&P500 fund is a much better option.

Generally, I’d happily take a significant discount on the amount to make it a no/low strings cash deal, unless the stock offer is basically equivalent to a cash deal (super liquid, no restrictions on sale).
That section was great. As soon as he said "interesting" I said "hard"! This is a real gem, there's a lot of wisdom in this short talk.

Welcome sure, willingly accept and engage with and build lasting friendships with? Eh. I've been to church as an adult trying to will myself into believing and when meeting with elders/whoever they send to talk to new people who have been showing up for a while, "I just dont have faith to overcome what logically doesnt make sense to me about this religion but I like hanging out with yall" doesnt exactly play well.
From the article:

> At the time, the Facebook deal was a stock deal and their share price was ~$25/share. Had we closed with them, the deal could have had a 10X multiplier. Despite that, I feel that Google was the right place for us. We clicked with the engineering team, they let us stay independent and grow (from 10M MAU to 150M MAU)...
If spammers can just create their own provider, that would kind of remove the point of having IDPs act as a spam gate.

That's not a firm "no" but like, you are transferring the user-reputation problem into an IDP-reputation one, so allowing arbitrary IDPs is not going to work. If you allow federated ones, you need some whitelist or reputation network of which federated IDPs are the good ones.

Might as well lockup the whole country :)

I spent a bit time there for work many years ago, along in Scotland. It was a large project that involved Ireland and Scotland and the US. It also had people from England working it too.

So, depending upon who I was with in the caf, the Irish would "talk hate" to the Scottish. But the Irish and Scottish would talk hate to the English. And all three would do the same against Americans (me).

I thought it was funny. But with this law being active back them, and depends upon the law system, might as well lock us all up. I got my digs in too :)

I think some refinement is probably needed.

> We could argue that those risky activities should be illegal (or shamed), but the counter argument is that a lot of activities are just inherently risky.

There are always going to be distinctions. We allow motorcycles but we don't allow motorized wheelbarrows, or unicycles that can go 60mph. Why? History and tradition, practicality -- whatever the reason, it doesn't necessarily have to make sense and it surely wasn't designed that way. No one makes the standards to which we hold people -- but we are allowed to complain when we don't feel they are in line with a healthy society.
Can you describe what do you mean by simulations in this context ? you explore various solution configurations ?
I think this is more of a "target the big fish first" situation.
> Dark patterns like this should be regulated.

If by "regulated", you mean that dark patterns should be prohibited, then I agree.
I’m not arguing that will never happen, but it seems like if their only reason was to prevent competition for Google Maps, they would have killed it a long time ago.

The fact that it’s still around 10 years later suggests it wasn’t their only motivation behind the acquisition.
The bigger issue is lack of competition. I lived in an area with multiple services. AT&T gave me a $50 1G symmetrical plan, no cap. Had a friend about 5 min drive away, pays $60 for a 200/10 Concast plan with a 1T cap because that’s all the community offers. Are there abusers in the system? Yes. Is it the reason why there’s a data cap? No.
I know I should be on the side of union organizers, but it's difficult to sympathize with them when they simultaneously try to portray themselves as David fighting Goliath, but also portray themselves as helpless victims when they get their flyers are taken down during break rooms and made to watch presentations.
How twentieth-century illustrators reimagined Victorian classics
It's weird to see a David-and-Goliath story with Microsoft cast in the role of David. That doesn't really ring true, even if we're speaking about the 90s.

What he forgot to mention: If you're up against a competitor who has a switching-cost-induced monopoly, it also kind of helps to acquire monopolies in adjacent spaces. You can then use anti-competitive practices to establish more monopolies and fight those remaining few that aren't already yours.
Man I really don't spend enough time doing ui.

To op, the following is my thoughts on this whole thread, as well as a few other unrelated threads I've seen since starting to catch up on ui dev/web dev. It's not really related to your project at all.

This is like when I first started programming, all the made up words are overwhelming. Is it a language, a library, a framework, an approach like MVC. Except in web world instead of a ton of 3las (or 3lis to be precise) you also get fun made up words.

Hey guys, I made blurgheq it's an open source version of a cbkeorf. Cool, but what's the point of open source if you use vlurfirrb. Vlurfirrb is optional, you could use garblewch. The important thing is that now ffbtjfuf is available to all. True but it's only really useful for shfjrjr and I usually use ehgrrheyyyu for my shdhwss needs. Oh, well version 3 of eiueyed does frbtjfuf really well.

Lol.

I haven't tested it yet, but I suggest that you have a "per image" price for those who use it sporadically.
