Annoying article. Lots of words without saying what precisely it's going to do and how it's better than previous efforts. Much more information (23 thousand words!) is on the ESA website here: https://www.eoportal.org/satellite-missions/euclid

Euclid is a deep sky survey space telescope. Like many space telescopes, it's designed to run cold (-140C) to extend viewing into infrared bands ground telescopes can't access. It's like a mini-Webb, orbiting next to it out at L2, but with one twenty fifth of the mirror area, and ten thousand pounds less mass. (Of course, it was also $9 billion cheaper...) Being a sky survey instrument, it has a wider field of view than Webb, half a square degree versus 0.0025 sq deg.

It's something of a follow-on to ESA's Gaia astrometry space telescope, which surveyed the entire sky out to visual magnitude 20 and in 320–1000 nm light, while Euclid will specifically examine the 15,000 square degrees of the sky the Milky Way doesn't cover, out to magnitude 24.5 and in 550-2000 nm light. Both dimmer and more redshifted. (Fun trivia: both Gaia and Euclid are made entirely out of silicon carbide, including the optical bench and mirrors, which has become a ESA specialty.)

For another comparison, the first Sloan sky survey (using a 2.5m ground based telescope much bigger than Euclid) took 5 years to image 8,000 square degrees down to magnitude 22.2 and only out to 893 nm. Again, Euclid can see objects dimmer and more redshifted.

Unfortunately for ESA's press office, Euclid will not be producing a lot of pretty photos. It's a comparatively low resolution telescope designed specifically to look outside our galaxy (so no nebula photos) that only has three fairly broadband color filters on just one of the two instruments. (So none of the spectacular detail that some of Webb's narrowband filters can bring out) If it still has propellant after the first 6 year mission finishes then they might turn it around and image the Pillars of Creation but for the near future its fate is to transmit terabytes of photos of dim smudges for astronomers to do statistical analysis on.
the way I see it is there are 3 things to consider. confidence in test coverage, tolerance of the client and whether we charge by the hour.

So people without any exposure to 'academic' discussion of ethics, are not exposed to any other types of ethical thought that couldn't be equally 'corrupting'? .. Do you really think that there is some pure un-corrupted state that a person could be in that would allow them to make perfect ethical judgements, that are not motivated by any instinct to justify something? I would put it to you that we are all deeply marinated in the sauce of the values and thoughts, and ways of reasoning of the societies and cultures we are raised in. Academic study gives people a tool to reflect on these things and make more careful judgements. In come cases it is as simple as giving people a shared vocabulary to talk about things they notice in every day life.

Our family photos included one particular photo of me, a rear view holding a garden hose.

And it was extremely embarrassing, but not because of its subject matter. It was embarrassing because, for decades, my mother used it as a weapon against me. It was one of those things to emasculate and humiliate me for being a boy and for having a natural body. It was a way to tease me and implemented as a source of shame.

It was just another brick in the wall, of course, but unfortunately I didn't get proper access to burn it when I had the chance. It might still exist, for all I know. I may perhaps eventually get a golden opportunity for final satisfaction.

>There’s a lot of mobile devs with disposable income you’re opting out of by not selling in North America.

I'm not in this specific industry, but there are some generic trends with the USA

There could be a lot of non tariff trade barriers if you go to the USA.

And you get exposed to a lot of laws, like having to give up all of your data to uncle Sam, having to run specific programs in the company on top of what the EU wants you to do, and be exposed to the maybe not so independent DOJ.

Negociations for industrial products also seem to attract ears at the homeland security, because it's a national security risk when you sell cheaper than American companies.

Contracts are trickiest to write, because justice is based on what you write in the contract, and century of precedents (contracts in mainland Europe are much thinner because there are laws)

And nobody would want to have to report women who get an abortion out of state, nor to dispute the requests, nor to run several legal programs when you're a smallish company, nor to risk having your board held up in jail until you sell to GE (then charges can be dropped).

Also, there is the Buy American act, so you can't just sell in bulk to the government.

European car manufacturers no longer sell in NA, because meeting the weird standards would cost more than they would do by selling their little cars.

Fresh food like cheeses were sometimes suddenly bumped back to Europe.

Overall, if you're a small company, you avoid the USA to not be crushed.

> One of my friends would always say (after poor grades or job rejections) "I wasn't even trying." By his logic, if he didn't try, then he didn't really fail, because the true extent of his abilities remained untested. He would often play videos games rather than study, just so he could have a plausible excuse for failure. It would be an existential threat for him to do his absolute best but come up short.

I knew someone that fit this. Extremely smart and would often run circles around everyone. But when we landed a top-tier school she crumbled and used this exact excuse often - "she didn't fail because she didn't try."

Eventually she started showing mental illness in the form of delusions of grandeur and something else (not sure what). She claimed she was tested for "special" powers as a kid by the government - mind reading and ability to move objects with her mind. Eventually she came up with a story that she had cancer and needed to miss class all the time for chemo. She ended up getting expelled from the school because she refused to provide any documents from the doctors (ends up she lied and was cured "by a miracle" after she left school).

I've often wondered if her intelligence played a part in this psychotic break she demonstrated. I met a few others that were scary smart and clearly outliers at the school that showed similar behavior.

>Each and every user runs their own instance of a federated server.

That's not federation. Federation is a distinct concept from decentralization; federation does involves trusting a third party of your choice (namely, whoever's running the instance you joined), but simply offers choice of which third-party you choose to trust.

The "everyone can run their own server" thing is just a side-effect of federation not blessing anyone with any sort of exclusivity over power to be a third-party.

Outside of tech circles, your idea is DOA because nobody wants to run their own server just to use facebook. Plenty of people don't even know what a server is, and had the ISP set up their router (and BTW they don't know what a router is either). With federation, you can still have a fairly normal app and get most of the benefits of centralization.

The point of federation is to avoid giving anyone absolute power over the community without recourse, not to completely avoid trusting anyone whatsoever.
Assuming that they do, does it significantly change the patterns and tendencies of actions among that age group? I think the distribution of behavior should be intact even if you just sample among Harvard students.

People who attend institutions considered "elite" have on average been told since early childhood that they are part of the elite.

In my experience, such people tend to have less self-discipline and fewer inhibitions than regular folks. That's a natural consequence of knowing that nothing truly bad can ever happen to you, no matter what you do.
No one is claiming Musk is forcing these people to work at Twitter. The claim is some people are forced by the visa system to choose between (a) working at a place they do not like and would not endorse, (b) leaving the country, or (c) taking a huge risk that they might have to do (b) anyway.

The point is not to say that Twitter or Musk are benefitting from forced labor. The point is to say that we shouldn't think everyone working at Twitter is is endorsing Twitter's decisions or enjoying the workplace as is.
> Although they talked about how badly they wanted to achieve, it seemed that their real goal was to guarantee failure.

Do they want to achieve or do they merely feel expected to?

I've had plenty of cases in my life where I did not want what someone expected/expects me to achieve, so my solution was/is to just never get around to it. It was a charade to maintain a reasonable level of social standing with the person expecting the thing without spending effort chasing something I did not value.

For example, I am very out of shape. Yes, it is not healthy, but the life I live doesn't require any physical capacity. I have other priorities. But if I say that, there are people who will be mad at me and increase their level of nagging. Better to show interest, and just let the lack of any success seem like failure.

There are plenty of cases where it is better to seem forgetful or incompetent than unambitious, even if you are.

Not the GP, but emphatically and obviously yes. There's the "reads a new book once per week" type of discipline that the average ivy leaguer tends to have, and there's the "wakes up at 4AM to go to the job they don't like despite how much their back hurts" discipline that the working class are obligated to develop.

I think serverless could be the right fit, something like detectors seems ideal. Theyre somewhat isolated individually, etc etc.

I kind of want to take a Crack at what Prime Video did except serverless from a green field perspective, and I'm willing to bet I wind up provisioning a RedPanda cluster or similar and having them feed detector lambdas. The bottleneck and cost here appeared to be storing intermediate results and the orchestration. Orchestration is solved by using something like SQS or what have you. Intermediate results are somewhat harder depending on size - but I think you could get there and it'd be an interesting exercise.
Yale has a 97% graduation rate. This can't be a big phenomenon there. Although many take more than four years.

Now, there are good schools where a sizable fraction don't make it. UC Santa Barbara, California's finest party school, has about an 88% graduation rate, and only 72% finish in four years. Further down the food chain, there are the schools which admit almost everybody but flunk out half the freshman class.
Low-level languages like Rust and C++ tend to have more complex syntax and symbols because they provide finer-grained control over memory management and what not, while high-level languages like Python prioritize readability and ease of use, sacrificing some low-level control in the process.

It's worth mentioning that Python, for example, can still achieve good performance through the use of optimized libraries and just-in-time compilation techniques.

What do you know about Putin’s motives? What propaganda do you think you’re under?

You’re probably smart enough to understand that out of spite and regret of your country’s history with the Russians your countrymen have more motivation than many others to judge the Russian efforts without any further investigation into the matter.

The same applies for myself, since I’m Finnish. It’s almost sad to see how people abandon all reason and critical thinking skills because of some ingrained belief that “Russia bad”. All of my knowledge of the human nature leads me to believe that they’re no more bad than the next people, and that they probably have some motives to go to a taxing war that we don’t really understand here in the west - seeing as the first casualty in war is the truth.
You're continuing to make bad claims. I'm taking the time to debunk them because the safety of people reading these comments is important to me.

MDMA is far more neurotoxic than alcohol. The oxidative stress put on the brain is potent. When you add elevated body temperature, which most folks on MDMA are likely to find themselves experiencing (dancing, hot club, lots of people), the damage climbs precipitously. In primates, damage to the brain has been detected after even single use.

If people want to take drugs, that's their prerogative but after “playing” with drugs when I was younger, the only recreational drugs I can recommend are certain psychedelics if people care about their health, physical or mental. You can replace alcohol and ecstasy in many settings with a very low dose of psychedelics and get similar social opening effects with none of the damage of either.

The article mentions that at one point the viewport only had a depth rating only 1,300 meters, but it’s not clear if it was upgraded later on. The more I think about it, would it have been able to withstand even the first dive to Titanic depths without it being upgraded?

Depends how severe the bugs are. If they're rare edge-case ones that won't result in significant loss of data or functionality, I can believe that; but I've seen far more instances where the product grows so many buggy features that it becomes barely usable as the bugs start affecting core functionality, while the additional features are basically useless to me.
It makes it a lot clearer where logs, alerts, etc are coming from and it makes them easier to test - because the process flow of a given instruction is in the architecture.

The service level agreement will go up? With whom?
The article was extremely on point. We didn't dare to try. Life is much too complicated, and many retreat to the safety of the familiar. I agree with others this problem is not at all unique to Ivy League. Instead, it is rather the futility of trying, the absence of a visible goal, and the lack of direction in life that, perhaps, made an Ivy League student feel for the first time in his life that maybe there is some meaning in the non-pursuit of happiness after all.

It's not even just Lambda, I have mentioned it here before but I've inherited a CRUD application where the read is a separate "application" and because of this I have two databases with minimal differences with multiple applications that are basically the same.

On the other hand, I've decreased costs significantly in previous positions by moving the cart functions to a lambda because it made it highly responsive, scaled up to thousands of transactions a second without concern during initial sales of certain fruit based devices which generate a rush, but basically sit idle 90% of the rest of the time.

I am not concerned with "the death of serverless", there is a time for lambda, and a time for long running processes. You can stick multiple rest endpoints in a single lambda, and that's the recommended thing to do. Moving from micro to monolith isn't the death of serverless, people not knowing when the appropriate time to use different techniques will be.

You're absolutely right and the attitude from many users and admins is extremely blind to the problem because they WANT a very close an narrow minded system that follows the admin authority and follows a "love it or leave it pattern".

I found the visual justification for partitioning a cube into three pyramids to be a bit confusing. For me, an easier way to think of it is that there are three coordinates (x,y,z) and each pyramid represents a region where a particular coordinate is largest. e.g. One such pyramid is {(x,y,z) | x = max{x,y,z}}.
I'm surprised that the term "agile development" was used already in 2003. I had to look up "Agile development" on Wikipedia and learned something new. :)
Here's a rule of thumb to figure out the annual pay at a given wage (for a standard 40-hour workweek): Take your hourly wage in dollars per hour (e.g. $40), then double it (e.g. $80), then convert it to thousands (e.g. $80k). That's about what you make in a year at a given wage.

e.g. $31/hr ≈ $62k/yr

To turn things the other way, take the annual wage in thousands (e.g. $80k), divide it by 2 (e.g. $40k) and chop off the thousands (e.g. $40).

e.g. $72k/yr ≈ $36/hr

So in the story, OP was making ~$52.50/hr and wanted to make ~$60/hr, but the recruiter thought they wanted ~$120/hr but could only get them ~$90/hr. Not too shabby.
The article is about a foreign country loaning foreign currency to other foreign governments. That, most definitely, does not contribute to world peace or stability.
Hypercalcemia is extremely rare, and is linked to hyperparathyroidism. The association between hypercalcemia and vitamin D is vastly overstated.

Our ancestors in Africa got hours of sun exposure, and synthesized tens of thousands of IUs daily. How they managed to survive to reproductive age without getting hypercalcemia is a miracle! In fact, the very existence of our species proves that God exists. Given the dangers of hypercalcemia, that has to be the only explanation.

You do know that phrases like that are used when the chance of an accident is considered pretty high?

Language also has a subtext that expresses more than just what the words mean.
The big place it shines for compute tasks is workloads with high variability.

As long as you can select a p99 for timeouts that's sane, lambda does a really good job handling highly heterogeneous workflows in general.

So if a request could take 10ms or multiple minutes depending on Reasons(TM) - lambda makes a lot of sense because you don't have to overprovision for theoretical peak demand, and a swamp of expensive requests is isolated from your cheap requests.
