Oh certainly, if IA wants to split off an independent entity for bulldog IP freedom advocacy I'll open my wallet right now. But putting all the legal and semi-legal content I care about at risk because you want to swing around a big freedom dick doesn't make you a hero; it makes you a jackass.
You already sounds pretty negative, they way you have framed the post. My initial gut feeling tells me that you should leave this job and find a place that nurtures what you want to achieve.

But, I see an opportunity for you to learn and forge yourself into a very robust engineer. Treat this place as place where you will upskill your self, take risks learn modern technologies. If it solves orgs problem great but if not, you have upskilled yourself. Pick up new product, introduce tools that enable business owners the build or customize their implementation. You can work very hard and take ownership. The fact that you are talking to stakeholders upfront you can push back, learn to logically argue with business owners and stuff.

It depends up whether you feel burned out or not. But I see opportunity. And also, it should ask the stakeholders to get software manager or product owners to structure the roadmap.
Until they find some of this hidden money, I'll remain skeptical that the donations were in any way balanced across parties.

I don't think it's far-fetched, but it's a pretty convenient claim for Democrats that the other donations are not on the record.
(I work at AWS)

I know this is close to whataboutism so I will try to choose my words carefully, but does Amazon really have that much power over the Internet? Realistically Amazon does not have a large advert network, footing in mobile, operating systems or web browsers?

They have some control in the form of AWS/Route 53 but that's a far cry from some larger DNS, domain registrar and CDN providers.

Not denying that they have a lot of money, but even when using that money to try and buy a user base (Alexa or Fire Tablet/TV) their success has been pretty limited overall.
When a new potentially-hazardous asteroid is discovered, it's normal for the probability of impact to go up a couple times before abruptly plummeting to zero, as the radius of uncertainty shrinks until it shrinks past the Earth. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torino_scale#/media/File:Apoph....

A 3% chance of impact right after discovery with the initial error ellipse isn't all that unusual; it will almost certainly be revised to 0 with more observation (and if it's not, you'll hear about it).
I am strongly in the camp that the platform previously know as Twitter can do whatever it wants, it isn’t a public square, and I stand by that now. I will also make fun of Elon for being a thin skinned toddler.

Why do you assume everyone who takes that stance is on one side or the other instead of actually holding the position that they state? Do you think all people’s values are so weakly swayed by who they are applied to?
I think the motivation for almost any style is to be cool.

Whether you think folks have that motivation organically, or you think this article is trying to manufacture cool, or if the article is just describing something that exists, I'd guess that's the motivation.

Were I inclined to question it, I'd wonder how many people think it is cool or are on this trend. Sometimes one or two popular people can make something look popular, when it is really that the people themselves are the popular part.
It's 480 cores. Typo?
This, as I understand it, being the closest approach to our orbit, not our atmosphere or so. To put this in perspective, the Earth is some 6.4 Mm in radius, so that's 40-6.4 = 33.6 Mm above the surface.
It seems any serious asteroid prevention program is going to require the learnings of "pointless" (as you might put it) scientific expeditions like putting an object into L2.
Yup, just edited, thanks.
How could it possibly have a censorship problem? It has no central control. I think perhaps your concern is actually that it has _freedom of association_; instances are not obliged to federate with instances which they don’t want to federate with.

Fortunately, there’s a solution; you’re perfectly free to make your own defederated protocol without freedom of association, if you can figure out how to do that.

This is a great way to go about implementing features that deal with complex situations in NP-Complete problems, where you know a subset is trivially solvable, you build patterns / approaches for said problem, and for the remaining cases, just use approximate solutions.

> useCallback ... returns a function.

It returns something with the same type you gave it. If you give it a function it gives you a function back.

In typescript it's declared to take a function but in practice it doesn't check, and can be used to stabilize the identity of anything.

> having a credible economic rival, even if they are extremely aligned with your political values and culture, is still a threat.

I want to push back. A threat to your status, but not necessarily a threat to the world. Best friends can also be fierce rivals. That rivalry can make them grow to be better (when they try to out do one another) just as much as it can destroy them (when they try to dismantle the other's gains). The difference is in the style of competition. If you naively think things are zero sum (for some reason this is rather popular), then you can only gain by another's loss. If you recognize that the systems are positive sum, then you can both rise and grow.

As an example, it is like how it is good for everyone that AMD is now able to compete with Nvidia. It is even good for Nvidia! Total GPU sales are going up and the advancements mean we can place them in more devices and do more with them (these make it positive sum. Sales and share price of __both__ stocks go up!). But it wouldn't be good if Nvidia or AMD were sabotaging each others hardware. That would be a net loss for everyone, including Nvidia.

The problems here are that 1) our interests are not aligned, 2) we treat the global market as zero sum (when it isn't), 3) we are jealous and would rather our neighbor be miserable with us than see them grow or work to improve ourselves to compete.
That exists because somewhere out there in the world is a category of businesses have to deal with the cost and taxes separately for legal or tax reasons. I've run into it before and it's incredibly annoying when all you have is a single line item on the bill. It's even more fun when you add currency conversions on top.
Well, I was using that phrase ironically.

In much the same way about paying people to not understand, anyone who works at a FAANG will take criticism of a company as a personal attack. But if one attaches so much of their sense of self to these behemoths, their time would be better spent asking what it says about them that they'd take on "unpaid astroturfing" as part of their job description. "Bootlicker" comes to mind.
1. If Tao (a Fields medalist) is telling you a process to follow, a dismissal of "just leads to incremental results" requires more evidence than just a bald claim. IMO, he's giving away his working process for free.

2. If "all" you want is tenure at a research 1 institution in the us, there's a lot to be said for this process. Another ingredient is "pick an area where other people will be interested in the results."

PS I don't know what to make of your username, but perhaps you have more to say about picking a problem... in which case I'm sure many of us would love to hear it.

I visited the US many times (probably 40+, a week to month long stays) mostly in Chicago and Phoenix.

I always clearly explained that I am a foreigner and do not know how to do this or that and I was given ample information.

The one time it did not work is when I had breakfast in a diner in Arizona and left my table after paying. A lady (also a customer) dropped le and time me how come I can leave without bringing my plate back. I was so surprised that I asked "this is what you do here in restaurants? Cleaning after yourselves?". She got mad and told me how I was misbehaved and everything.

She was clearly a weirdo, though.

Well, here's a story about how to configure and use one that I wrote last year:

It's dead easy.

You type compose, then 2 (or very occasionally 3) characters which, put together, make the letter you want.

Compose, a, ` gives à.
Compose, A, ` gives À.

And so on. Y,=, ¥. c,/,¢

You can usually guess the combination you need.
If only I could pay “up to” $65 per month. I downgraded from a gigabit plan because it was performing at 600-750 Mbps and only when using the ISP’s own speed test. The upload wasn’t any faster than the 500/50 plan. On real world tests like downloading Linux ISOs or downloading a 100GB game off Steam or Epic it was only 200-350 Mbps. What’s the point of a speed tier that only works on-net?
Oh yes, I made a mistake it's the one that you mentioned. I can't edit the post anymore :(
Not sure why this happened but it went viral in India as a place to practice english for internet points or an online place to for Indians to do endless chit-chat, which is a lot more fun in person there than it is online!
That's terrible. I've had my Brother laser printer for 14 years now, and it keeps on trucking. I have only replaced the toner twice and do use 3rd party toner. However, I do note that it says that the toner is empty well before it is actually empty (like months or even years if you don't print often).

Probably, but if these are just like, Amazon reviews/etc, they likely violate FTC regulations. Enforcement is lacking, but I'd still be very hesitant to break the law.
> I still can't do <script type='text/typescript'>. Why?

Because typescript is not javascript. Google already tried with dart, they failed. Typescript is still nice-to-have, it's not replacing javascript. MS is not trying to replace javascript anyway. If your goal is to having javascript replaced, that looks fine but I don't see how it succeed. If you u want to work on TS codebase in backend, there is deno

> The few friends (sharps) that I had that were able to earn a profit over a large enough sample were all eventually backed off by the major sports betting sites. One site backed off a large long term winner in order to "protect the player against creating a compulsive habit or addiction". It's literally a racket. You can't win long term. You can only lose.

That's incredible, so these sites track gamblers and figure out which ones actually know what they are doing and then refuse their bets?

There are lots of instances which largely don’t defederate. They’re generally, well, pretty unpleasant places, but they’re there.

> Fediverse people use defederation for viewpoint moderation (censorship) when it should be used for blocking spammers

Define ‘should’. Instances have freedom of association. If an instance decides that it, say, doesn’t want to federate with the instance with all the Nazis, why should should it? Anyone using the instance who doesn’t agree can just go to an instance which suits their preferences better. Personally, if my instance decided “okay, we’re federating with the Nazis now because not doing that is censorship (? still baffled by the logic there)” I would simply move to an instance with a view more in line with mine on how much oxygen of publicity Nazis should be given.

That's how Comcast works here in western Washington.

If you have non-internet service from them (such as TV, phone, or home security) there are plenty of fees on your bill which makes it more than the advertised price of your package, but if you just have internet the bill matches the advertised price.

Isn't there a tax incentive for the waiters to get their wage in time rather than salary?

This is unsurprising. This problem has been known for a while and even when the tech bros here have been over-leveraging and pricing out many residents to the point where the less well off residents have become homeless, well it is only going to get worse.

Like SF, the city won't change unless fundamental change in how the city is being run comes in and prices are significantly less inflated. But of course rather than solve the problem, the richer culprits would instead run to much cheaper places to restart the problem all over again; creating this same outcome.
The load generator generates boosts/favorites for a subset of posts that are randomly picked to be "popular". However, since the rate of posts is so high even individual posts picked to be "popular" are only getting ~70 reactions.

Tracking reactions is considerably easier than timeline fanout though, as a favorite does a small handful of things (updates set of users favoriting a status and sending a notification), while fanout has to do an operation on every follower (403 operations on average, sometimes up to 22M).

The code getting the favorite count for a status looks like:

.localSelect("$$statusIdToFavoriters", Path.key("*statusId").view(Ops.SIZE)).out("*numFavorites")

Because the nested set is subindexed, that's an extremely fast operation (looking at our telemetry, about 0.05ms).

Determining "has-user-faved" looks like:

.localSelect("$$statusIdToFavoriters", Path.key("*statusId").view(Ops.CONTAINS, "*accountId")).out("\*hasFavorited")

The API server doesn't do these queries individually, which would be two roundtrips. It does them together in a query topology along with fetching other needed information (like number of boosts, number of replies, "has boosted", "has muted this status", etc.).
There's been a pretty robust rom-hacking community for Super Mario World that dates back to the 2000s, and it's something I always thought was really cool. It's led to some really awesome games coming out that are far more interesting to me being that they're built off an antiquated engine that ran on a 16-bit console from the 90's. There were plenty of other custom Mario level programs out there, like Super Mario Bros X which was an engine entirely made from scratch for PC. But that never interested me nearly as much, because people were writing Lua scripts that could do anything, and could leverage modern PC processing power. I thought it was way cooler to see what people pulled off when having to deal with sprite limitations, and having to write all the code in assembly. It really bred a whole other layer of creativity.

Plus a lot of the games could actually be played on a physic console if you loaded the ROM onto a SNES flash cart.

Magic Box micro is more obvious once you see it. Its a simple concept, but implementation (IE: memorizing the size) is the difficult part.

---------

Muta-harass forces "Big magic box" by adding a burrowed zergling (or Overlord in early game) to your 12-group of Mutalisks. That is, 11-mutalisks + 1x slow (or burrowed) unit "outside the magic box". This means every click you do collapses in to a single point.

Dragoon-dancing is "little-magic box", allowing dragoons to walk and shoot in synchronously (like how the High Templar shot Psi Storm together at the beginning of this Youtube video).

I can answer 2 of your questions:

- What is the probability that this asteroid will hit us?

It's listed in the article: Impact probability 0.034, meaning 3.4% chance of impact.

- What is the time interval where that probability applies?

It's also listed: impact was estimated to potentially occur between 2023/08/14 04:48 TDB and 2023/08/15 12:22 TDB. (TDB seems to be UTC time without leap seconds? not sure). In other words the asteroid already passed Earth, and is currently no longer a risk.
As the marketing states, this isn't targeted to startups of any size, or any other organization capable of writing software. It has exactly one application: SAP HANA. SAP is a large and valuable company with many users of their terrible program, reputed to be among the worst programs ever perpetrated, which is nevertheless quite widespread.
Normally you'd be right saying this to any random person on the internet. But my power really is bad in this apartment. I literally have a room where all the outlets read 80v peak to peak due to, I assume, a loose neutral. The halogens handle it fine but it kills anything with a circuit board eventually.

Most people in highly developed countries don't have this problem so I'm an exception there. But most people in the world don't live in highly developed areas.

Found this tweet with an impact probability map that is around northern US/Asia/Europe :
https://twitter.com/JoelSercel/status/1691549821629526219

"If it is real this IS the worst asteroid threat ever discovered and the impact location and times are ugly (will post pics shortly). Note that the impact is in the next couple days!
However, an Italian colleague of one of our astronomers suspects there is an error in the reported observations and there has been no chatter about this object and no followup. This probably means that it is not real.
" - Joel C. Sercel, PhD

I'm guessing the impact death area will be around 3600 km2 (I have no idea, please correct), so ultimately the chance of it falling on me is 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100,000 provided the asteroid hits. Which means 1 in 1,000,000 to 1 in 10,000,000 in total? (assuming 1% hit probability)
Lenin is not talking about democratic socialism there, but rather the full blown dictatorship of the proletariat, nationalizing all means of production, etc etc kind of socialism. When it comes to democratic socialism, Lenin was not a fan, to put it mildly. He is absolutely scathing of the concept in for example _the State and Revolution_.
The only providers I have ever used in production, or would likely ever consider using would be published by Hashicorp or the software vendor for the resource being managed (for example [1]). Much would need to be done to trust any other third party without good reason.
