The business doesn't pay its owners a cent. It pays its employees (who happen to be the owners) a salary.

In a business where profit is used to pay shareholders/owners you don't count the regular salaries as 'profit paid out' either. This is no different; any profit we have is reinvested (while financially stable, there has been no occasion where the profits exceeded the amount prudent to reinvest in growth or other factors).
Sure, there are lots of options. Your solution is equally valid but very different. Colour reproduction isn't a pronounced difference in my experience.

Compressed oxygen is a major fire hazard. Obviously it doesn't burn, but makes other things burn much more.

Also oxygen toxicity is a thing, when breathing oxygen at surface pressure it is usually mild, and worth it for people short of it! But it's not candy.
Not more than in any other company, with the exception that the company puts its employees needs first (but this is not exclusive to companies like mine).

European companies: EU’s AI Act could ‘jeopardise technological sovereignty’
After watching industrial disaster post-mortems by the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, I think the answer is yes. Plenty of stuff gets built without considering each failure mode.

> Under the AI Act, providers of foundation AI models — regardless of their intended application — will have to register their product with the EU, undergo risk assessments, and meet transparency requirements, such as having to publicly disclose any copyrighted data used to train their models.

> The open letter claims that the companies developing these foundation AI systems would be subject to disproportionate compliance costs and liability risks, which may encourage AI providers to withdraw from the European market entirely.

You could consider intentionally paying a somewhat higher price in order not to support Amazon's practices with your money.

I'd imagine some of the price difference is attributable to the kind of conduct you may find objectionable - assuming this is the reason why you're looking for alternatives.
In other words, his purchase was more political than economic, more ego than sound business judgment.

He is totally out of his element and flying by trial and error. A crash and burn is the most likely result IMO.

Social media and advertising is an inherently humanistic/social endeavor requiring a deft business touch. Musk isn't exactly famous for his humanity or his humility or his social skills. He is waddling around like a duck out of water.

His video on electromagnetism is still my gold standard for Lorentz's Law. It came out while I was taking emag. I liked it so much I showed it to my professor, who didn't name drop Lorentz all semester. The class was making sure no one got a BSEE without knowing Maxwell's Equations, which does warrant a semester. I guess it was more of a failing of the physics curriculum.

Well, when Mao was doing his great leaps, American citizens had to literally had to march in the streets for basic civil rights. Again, not exactly a clean record.

Glass houses and stones and all that.

Point is, in the living memory of most people on the earth, i.e. people below 30, the only wars waged against non-neighbors have been Americans invading Iraq and Afghanistan. So from the place most non-Americans stand, America is a belligerent and irresponsible power.

What someone did in 1960 is important and can't be glazed over, but as a 30 year old, it's hard to understand and even harder to contextualize. But Iraq and Afghanistan is fresh enough in everyone's memory, to the point that I remember the headlines about the fake WMDs and the numbers about civilian deaths.
It described the pricing model.
It's impossible to know for real if someone has read a tweet -especially on Twitter where several tweets appear on the screen at once - however "dwell time" is a common measurement that is usually enough to appease marketers.

In this case it doesn't matter though because the aim is to mitigate cost, so equating an impression with engagement is fine.
I only actually realized the "writing is thinking" since ChatGPT became a thing.

Sometimes I try very hard to describe my problem to ChatGPT. Then... I don't even press send, since in the process of describing my problem I've garnered enough "thought points" to solve the problem myself.
Easy to type that on your keyboard. Maybe work at Twitter for 3 months under H1B and come back and tell us how well it goes.
I agree with the value of people but would factor quality of life in. We’re currently projected to have something like a billion people seriously disrupted by climate change and all of us noticeably worse off which puts you in questions like how much human misery undercuts that.

Obviously the solution isn’t “kill 4B” and especially because the climate impacts and causes are very unevenly impacted - 300M Americans have generated more greenhouse gases than the billions in Africa or Asia who are being impacted first.
Could it be someone using Hetzner?
Looking at the chart it seems to line up with the war in Ukraine. Germany was a target of Prigozhin’s Internet Research Agency (troll farms). I wonder if we will see a drop in Tor usage now that his coup has failed and his organization is being dissolved.

Software as a service for healthcare. We do vary salaries based on experience and function, but there is not much of a difference between senior devs and management. We're only a small business of 10 to 20 employees though. It works reasonably well (and we're 15 years old by now); the biggest threat is external market conditions and compliance requirements (because healthcare just is a demanding field).
I would say this is the best solution. I live in another EU country where ISPs also block it via DNS.
If I remember little else from my undergrad math degree, I have thereafter always written my sevens with crossbars. This turned out to be handy in Europe, where way too many people are writing their ones with two strokes.
This is completely removed from reality.

The right wing movements in Europe started around 2000 in Italy, Austria, the Netherlands and France. Germany was way behind.

In Germany the AfD won voters after Merkel let in too many refugees in 2015 against the will of many CDU voters.

The AfD is probably less extreme than MAGA and most European counterparts, including Scandinavian ones. But it is always easy to pile on Germany, isn't it?

(I don't vote for them, don't like them, but this is getting silly.)
There is no way these are organic users. Could it be, that some VPN is using Germany as an entrypoint?
Different roads that reach the same place, I think.

Finite state machines are a small step away from sequential logic and help with managing complexity. Pushdown automata are a small step from finite state machines. I think of Turing machines as an architecture for a computer consisting of a separate CPU and memory, which happens to correspond to the most common architecture used today, but not a particularly useful tool for managing complexity as they have no structure. Functions are useful for managing complexity, and function call / return requires some notion of a stack. Once you're there you can build up the rest of FP. Pure function correspond to combinatorial. Those with state correspond to sequential logic. etc.

Going in the reverse direction, compilation connects functional programming to hardware.
TIL about jitter
BSD license, because Berkeley was literally paid to port TCP/IP to Unix (and C) on basis that the resulting code would be available for incorporation by others free of charge.
I once, for a short period, maintained web-application that had three different frontend frameworks (angular 1, angular 2, and one other I don't quite remember), and four different javascript builds that had to be run to build the application. Apparently management prioritized the giving demos to investors, and changes to different frameworks were aborted halfway through.

It was completely impossible to work with. Each week the build failed for new random reasons. I hardly dared touch the thing.

This "pattern" is really a failure from multiple parties:

* Managing software engineers is an art, and you really need to understand what is happening to succeed. Only prioritizing short-term goals just ensures you're going to fail in the long-term. Make sure you understand technical debt. The speed of work in bad code-bases versus good code-bases can be orders of magnitude in difference.

* Software engineers really need to use branches properly. Work that is halfway done should not be in the main branch. Consistency and simplicity is king here. Maintaining an old and new version of software for a while can be a pain, but it's much better than maintaining a halfway converted application. Pressure from management is no reason to release stuff halfway done. And if you need to demo, release a specific branch.

Nowadays I don't even ask to do necessary maintenance. It's just part of the job. Always stick to the boyscout rule (leave things in a better state then you found it). Make your code-bases cleaner incrementally, and eventually you'll be in a much better state.

If a corporation is HQed in and operated out of America, and diverts the bulk of its profits to American citizens, it is reasonable to say that "America did it to itself".

American citizens could have voted with their wallets, and they could have voted at the booths to elect governments that would regulate the flow of American jobs overseas. But they didn't, and so here we are.
From my non-lawyer "common sense" point of view, the reasoning that 1 and 2 implies 3 seems absurd in the face of the "no penalty without law" principle.

If the law is so unclear that lawyers can't determine legality and are waiting for additional guidance from the lawmakers, shouldn't it be legal by default?

A pithier way to introduce this topic: the first law of thermodynamics, a.k.a. the law of conservation of energy, is that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. In light of this, how can there ever be a shortage of energy?

[Note that this is intended to be a rhetorical question advanced for the purposes of pedagogy. If you find yourself wanting to post an answer, you have missed the point.]
this is an interesting point, I was more thinking along the line of digital goods like:

- mobile phone applications: storefront (app store, google play) review are well known to be manipulated, and whatever is done to control the issue is clearly loosing.
- video games: Steam is also well known to be a battleground for so-called review bombing and counter review bombing. Although Steam is very good at providing data to understand the context of the review, it clearly caters to a specific audience.

Glassdoor is more egregious because of the anonymity it tries to provide for the reviewers and how authenticity and veracity o statement would be very difficult to assess.
There's almost certainly byte order+version markers in the header, a "happy path" that just memcpy's the structs, and a "safe path" that does byte order swapping, migrates the old structs to the current format, etc.

You can version the structs/loaders by keeping the relevant header files in their own version subfolders, and copious usage of sed. I've done this in a Django project to maintain support for ancient untouchable clients using an old version of the API, it's pretty manageable.
Looking into it you appear to be right, thanks; that single study is almost exclusively the single source of all similar articles, too. Admittedly I don't use twitter, so I don't have first hand experience in this.

It's still pretty obvious that there is a propaganda effort from NATO as well, and one that seems to work a lot more than Russia's on western audiences.

Nothing inherently wrong with integer scaling, as long as you are aware you end up seeing more of the colour of each "pixel" as it is 4- or 6-times as big, with less/none of the space in-between, so there is a subtle change to the perception of the image. I'm fine with that I touch on this in the article though I probably could have gone into more depth. I wrote this a couple years ago.

Why? VPN users mostly care about the Exit IP country, not the Entry IP country.
While not explicitly arguing against this point, I would note that these graphs are from Peter Zeihan, who has explicit financial incentive in convincing people China is on the road to economic ruin. He makes his living as geopolitical analyst and has been predicting the imminent downfall of China since decades ago at Stratfor - if people come to disbelieve his predictions have value, he loses money.

Which doesn't mean he's wrong, but I do think it is important to consider incentives whenever someone is attempting to convince you of something.

Right, the average person hasn't a clue about albedo, nor do they know why say CO2 and CH4 increase global warming whereas others such as O2 are more benign.

It may help lower the temperature of the debate if they did.

Edit, we're pitching this discussion at the level he has—the lay public. Scientific argument over the minutiae is another matter altogether.
Five Lessons from the Partition of Ireland – By Sam Enright
But I also see russian propaganda, so I can compare and confirm it is not at all on the same level.

But if I would not been able anymore to see the russian point of view, then I would start to suspect they have a point I am not allowed to see, to keep me under control. But now I can see it and so I can see that their point is just russian nationalism/empire thinking with zero interest of truth, just power. Full of literal lies. So yes, you also can find lies and manipulation in western reporting. But I have a hard time understanding why anyone can think it is the same.

The other Mets players didn't lose everything as a result of the Madoff Ponzi scheme, it was only the owner. This scheme let the owner legally move the money over to the ponzi scheme, that's it.
I have noticed a divergence between product quality and incentive. The more distant the incentives are the less product quality matters. I have observed this at every place of employment, personal project, and entertainment software I have ever touched. It comes down to this:

1) What is the purpose of the product/platform/work? Typically when speaking of software generally there is only one correct answer: automation. If the stakeholder cannot answer this question in 2 words or less nothing else matters, because this the foundation from everything else derives.

2) How does the stakeholder define product quality? Do they measure any of that? If there are not written goals AND measures its probably all bullshit.

3) How directly are incentives tied to the defined product quality goals? If I have to count the hops using two hands there are no product quality goals.

4) What is the target audience of the product quality goals? In theory the primary audience should that which is the primary driver of revenue, but in reality it is typically that which is of greatest comfort to people analyzing requirements. This is where things get toxic. This is what makes me want to abandon software as a profession.

5) Incentives are not necessarily compensation.

With this list in mind the typical goal of a corporate software developer is to complete some tasks, get paid, and retain employment. Product quality is completely irrelevant up to and including some tolerance for terminal failure.
I found this video explaining quaternions to actually be a great way to explain (and visualize) higher spatial dimensions: https://youtu.be/d4EgbgTm0Bg

When you think about the nth dimension as a projection of the n+1th dimension, it begins to make a lot more sense. That doesn’t mean you can necessarily visualize the 4th spatial dimension directly, but you can at least visualize how the 3rd dimension can be a projection of the 4th, just like how we can easily see that the 2nd dimension as a projection of the third.

I think the main issue is predictability of price/power? If you could guarantee getting paid 10p unit for off-peak, and guarantee getting paid 40p to supply during peak, for say 5 years, I think a lot more of these projects would take off...but it's all still far too turbulent.

> Elon strikes me as worse because he likes to think he understands
> what his engineers know.

Early on in my career I had a name for this. I called it "gamle helter" in Norwegian which roughly translates to "old heroes". An "old hero" is someone who used to be competent in a field, has stopped being competent, doesn't recognize this themselves and is now a nuisance to anyone who actually knows what they are doing, but can't pull rank. One way to become an old hero is typically to end up in management and not practice whatever discipline you think you understand.

To be fair, I highly doubt that Musk was ever a competent software engineer, much less a good engineering manager. He is a PR person. He sells an image that he is a technology person.
Biased conclusion as you could also conclude that two people were not enough to sell the top-down approach.

Very true and I’d also add something about ongoing effects. For example, while it’s true that the United States isn’t massacring native Americans in open combat right now, a 30 year old is going to have seen at least news about tribal poverty rates, broken promises about things like water rights or development, and the national guard working at the behest of oil companies to remove protesters who don’t want pipelines running through tribal lands. (Repeat for the heavy-handed response to black people protesting against police brutality, etc.)

That’s not the same as Tiananmen square but it’s far more visceral lived experience for anyone under 45.

I constantly use tor as a way to get a third view when debugging connection issues for customers and malware infected websites. If you ever experience the issue of a customer saying they can't connect, but when you test it it works perfectly fine, tor is great to verify if the issue might effect more customers. As a side effect of it being ipv4 only, you can also test issues when one protocol work but not the other (there are alternative tools but tor is by far easiest at hand).
It's always the entourages that get you. Gambling certainly doesn't help, but keeping 50ish people effectively staff is expensive.

> 70% of professional athletes in the US have financial hardships shortly after they retire. (1) 70%!!!

The article’s way off. It’s somewhat correct for why rich superstar athletes go broke after retirement. But the reality is that this shouldn’t be surprising because at least 70% of professional athletes make almost no money, retire very young (not by their choice), and have few transferable skills.

There’s 5,000 minor league baseball players alone who (except for a few) are essentially broke. And the average NFL career is over by the time the player is 25. For every Antoine Walker who blows through $50 million, there’s 1,000 27-year olds with chronic injuries, maybe an opiate addiction, and not much in the way of job prospects.
Yeah, that's a thing - west just exploited the hell out of many parts of Africa, while not improving most places by any meaningful means, just filling pockets of corrupt local dictators. In fact most places are much worse off than they were 60 years ago.

So don't complain that they are fed up and seek help elsewhere, what west has to offer has been tried many times and results are down there. If they end up indebted to Chinese or US or some EU country like France means little difference to them, all else being equal.
