From what I understand both sides have plenty of Buks but Russian ELINT and ECM has been remarkably inflexible outside of counter battery roles (besides some broad spectrum jamming earlier in the conflict)
It's not as if Google is exactly hurting for profit, build time, or engineers trained in checks notes basic HTML forms.

Yeah it feels odd at first for sure. But like any other mammal, one of our social instincts is play fighting. You see it in kids with their roughhousing and horseplay, but as we get older it becomes less and less socially acceptable in most contexts. Socializing becomes less about having fun and bonding with people and more about observing unspoken rules and demonstrating that you know how to behave properly. There's nothing wrong with the latter, but you can't create genuine connections without the former. I believe this is why many people have the sense that their work friends aren't "real" and will fade away when they move on to their next job.

The abuse thing is certainly an issue, unfortunately. The "coach waiting until student turns 18" scenario is apparently so common in BJJ that it's practically a meme at this point, though I've been fortunate enough to go to a school where it hasn't happened, as far as I'm aware.
Have you ever heard of TCP/IP stack fingerprinting? It is very likely that someone intercepting your traffic can tell apart your phone and your laptop regardless of the originating IP address. Odds are they can even tell your operating systems.

I agree that insider trading is an unlikely explanation for the reason you mention.

It could be that an early algorithmic advantage compounded into an incumbency advantage: better research tools; better data; better pay for better scientists.

The 'secret sauce' may have started out as novel discoveries and, over time, become 'just being RenTec'.
> decimal_point

Are you sure that affects it? The decimal point parameter sounds like it decides how to write out 5½ (i.e., 5.5 (English style) or 5,5 (Dutch style)) surely? Although on the topic of this particular bête noire I would not be surprised.
Unless work is paying the cost, getting another subscription for a cloud service and not being able to run the software after some arbitrary period doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I'm willing to pay for updates, I'm tired of every company wanting to turn me into a renter

In reality you implement both. Basic noise filtering in hardware, plus rate limiting or something in software.

What about the fact that people on ozempic don't change their eating habbits other than the amount they consume?

Eating all that garbage still had a negative effect on your health while if you want to loose that weight with this medication you need to change what you eat more than how much.
I think Datadog have started doing too many things in one product, to the extent that it makes difficult to use and I imagine too difficult to maintain.

I found it a lot easier to work with distributed tracing in New Relic than I did with DD. I was surprised when I came to that conclusion because this time, about a decade ago, I was not in favour of using New Relic at all.

If I found myself in a position to choose the tech I use, I'd probably think twice before accepting Datadog's introduction deal, or even using New Relic for that matter. You could get the job done with Kibana and Grafana for some time.
> what would then be the point of home ownership

having a place to live? Trading off potentially greater financial returns elsewhere for whatever one perceives as the benefits of actual ownership?

It's not as if actual home ownership has made the USA so much better than the countries around the world where more people choose to rent.

> your children are going to move to another state

That will happen with your plan as well because they won't want to live in a dense dystopian population hellscape.

Maybe the solution is not to be ripping out homes and replacing them with duplexes, but rather building new cities.

Which is also already happening. Witness rise of cities (in SoCal) around Corona and San Bernardino, where very few lived only 20 years ago. That's because lots of people would rather live in a peace and quiet rather than hear their upstairs neighbor arguing with his wife.
By definition owning a home means them being a financial asset, so that part of the post was on its face meaningless. I expect that the point was "investment asset" which is just not possible, prices go up and down. Unfortunately for all, up too much for too long and the market seizes. Blame the money laundering and asset parking for the market shifts, no one wants to spend all the money they do. Then spread the greed all around to everyone who didn't sell for a lower price a long time ago.
tl;dr: More EV chargers being available means more people will switch to EVs, which means utilities make more money from people charging at home.

Same here, the first thing I thought after reading the title was "wait, again?!" - knowing what inciting people to hunt witches usually turns into, I thought that guy is utterly fearless, at the very least.

Though, maybe he counts on this push not to work. He might see it as a temporary measure that will fizzle out quickly, giving him some time and not many headaches down the road. He'd be an incurable optimist then...

If this incitement works, it'll leave a mark on society for many decades into the future. In the best case, people will enjoy the ride for a few years and then tacitly agree not to speak of it. In the worst, there will be widespread lynches, pogroms, bloodshed on the level of Stalinist purges, then either a revolution or Great Terror for years to decades, and it'll take a century to fully (if that's even possible) heal.

What does Xi want to get out of it, really? Surely he's not stupid enough to think he'll catch any of the actual spies that are bound to be there anyway? Is whatever he wants to gain really worth playing with this particular fire? It would be safer to start an actual war, like his buddy did...

"John may desire to be referred to as if he's 6'6" in height, despite being only 5'1", but he can't realistically expect everyone else to comply with this if he requests it."

For the understanding of most people, being a woman or a man isn't an identity, but is a fact of material biological reality. The belief system around 'gender identity' has fairly niche acceptance on a global scale, even in countries where it is being heavily evangelized.
Nice thanks, I think you make some great points.
The difference will always be that in a divorce, at least one parent left voluntarily and for a widow that was not the case.

For the kids, they’ll feel this for the rest of their lives regardless of any other circumstances.
The Sears Tower will always be the Sears Tower to me, no matter who the current owner is and who paid them for naming "rights."

> But people who learn it for the first time will learn the new name, and official maps (etc) will all use the new name, and that's probably good enough.

Not necessarily. If the community isn't invested in the name change, the old name can remain current and persist through natural transmission.

In fact, the old name could become established as a way to separate the locals from tourists who learned a name from some outsider source like an official map.

Another factor is how good the new name is. "Mount Blue Sky" is actually pretty good, as far as these imposed renamings go. A lot of the time they're totally impractical mouthfuls (e.g. https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/federal-government-re...) that put contemporary English's orthographic sloppiness on full display.
I don't buy that it has to be just one or the other. Fundamentally, crypto is just very dense information and once it became widely enough standardized by people who could easily share and apply it commercially, getting even the strongest crypto to the most basic user becomes extremely easy.

Short of blocking the very essence of digital data spread and transactions, the three-letter agencies and the giant governments behind them realized that there was no way to effectively put that particular genie back in the bottle without fucking over too many other extremely well-connected commercial interests.

Thus, while they didn't entirely give up on their bullshit, and keep looking to find arguments for privacy subversion, they realized that roundabout methods were a usable practical course.

That's where we stand today: a world in which there's no obvious way to block something that's so cheaply easy to share and securely be applied by so many people, but governed by technocrats who do what they can to subvert meanwhile.

The fundamental math of crypto is secure, regardless of any conspiracy theories. AES-256, for example, can't just be broken by some secret Area 51 alien decoder ring. The mathematics of good modern crypto simply crush any human computing technology for breaking them regardless of budget. However, the agencies also know that in a complex world of half-assed civilian security and public habits, they still have enough methods to work with without delving into political firestorms.
Do you think people are consistently keeping their phones for more than a decade? I get that anti-consumer vibe but this doesn't feel like a common use-case. Compare Apple to almost anyone and they stack up well.

The underlying issue is what markets are in reality.
uh oh mtpaint starting to feel real competition
I’ve described this to other programmers before. Greenfield projects are fatiguing because you still have options—too many options. Every layer is still open for you to rethink and rework. Let the hand wringing commence!

As the months and years wear on though, things change. Each bug has an obvious solution, and you’ll take the path of least disruption. Implementing new features is a matter of figuring out which trade offs you’re most ok with. Maybe you need to refactor something first, but that’s an obvious path itself.

You’re painted in a corner. A beautiful corner where the only safe thing to do is to tread carefully. But you don’t mind, because you know where you are and what you need to do to get to where you want to go.
There is a difference from backing a fraud vs backing a failure.

No one is pointing fingers for the latter.

SBF would have never done anything with a simple BoD requirement: independent auditor. That was not done by BoD. This is a very standard requirement for most companies beyond A. SBF got special treatment. Why is the question

Tech companies wouldn't be offering their employees who are too busy to start families the perk of egg freezing if they offered "great work-life balance." They would be offering more flexible part-time work, so that employees could both have children and continue working, instead of putting off having children.
The calls to WASM would also be through FFI, right? Because it's not part of the actual ruby runtime.
> Having PII littered about in ways that aren’t easily deletable is quite a canary.

"We can't figure out how to delete PII" and "Our schema is flexible" are the same canary in my view.

Everything goes back to founders & business owner giving enough of a shit to force a good architecture from the beginning.

You can't build an effective schema to store complex information if your mission isn't clear yet. If concerns over PII storage are "we'll worry about that later", then whatever schema is invented from that point will mirror that vision.

If the vision is "PII == high-level radioactive waste", then the resulting schema may not even offer places to store it, outside of specially-controlled tables.
I'm not an expert in this area, but some municipalities have restrictions on cheaper construction techniques (e.g. requiring copper piping instead of PEX for plumbing, EMT conduit instead of Romex for wiring). This is often due to union influence instead of any safety reason.
As much as I am a fan of Henry George's basic take on things, I also have an issue with the fundamental concept of "productive use of land". To require that any use of a piece of land generates sufficient income to pay taxes on that land which reflect the highest financial value it could have ... just seems wrong to me.

I don't want all land in its most productive use, and neither, I suspect, does the rest of the world.
Maintenance programming for pay can be rewarding iffffffffffffffff management has a deep understanding of and appreciation for the task. There can be a lot of joy and satisfaction in adding tests, fixing edge cases, fulfilling user needs, "quality of life" improvements, optimizing. Honing.

My experience is that this is almost never the case.

Generally, management does not understand or appreciate why it's a slog, why you might want to refactor this or that, etc.

Obviously a lot of this falls upon the engineer. It's your job to communicate and demonstrate. Helps if you have other engineers backing you up and presenting a unified message. Also helps if management is technical enough to understand what you're saying instead of simply believing -- or not believing -- you.

But maaaan. Uphill battle! I'm burnt out on it. I've decided I need to seek greenfield stuff. Maybe forever. But definitely for now.
> I imagine this could be scaled up

Likely a false assumption. The flagship Medallion Fund supposedly has $10B AUM. Many strategies that work in insignificant volume (such that your actions don't affect the broader market) won't work once your size becomes such that you entering and exiting the market moves it significantly.

> I am running this now and had my biggest year ever

Kudos! Are you always looking for other strategies, since I'd imagine the lifespan of any individual strategy isn't that long?
I'm trying to think of a tech device that has made me this happy in a long time and I can't think of many. They did a lot of things right with this.
Wow first time I have been called liar by anyone.

My only point was that as you increase the size and height of homes/structures in an earthquake zone it becomes more expensive due to earthquakes mitigations. You may be able to build less expensive structures in other places. Simply changing the Zoning does not necessarily automagically make the homes less expensive.

In 2020, forest land covered about 66.2 percent of the land in Japan. While cultivated land accounted for around 11.6 percent, only just over three percent of the land was used for housing. Due to its mountainous geography, only a small part of Japan's 37.8 million hectares of land is habitable.Jun 28, 2023

Calves stay with mothers until appropriately developed. Then some leave, others remain. Humans are the same.

But how many human mothers do you know that spend their whole life with 1/3 of their children? To the extent “keeping families together” is something to optimize for, they’re doing better than us.

Which is funny, because I own an iPad from 2018. Which has the A10 chip (which was used in the iPhone 7). Guess what, the iPhone does not get iOS 17 but the iPad does get iPadOS 17.
It's been a breath of fresh air this summer to pull out New Relics agent libraries from several of our apps and have them replaced with OpenTelemetry dittos with auto-instrumentation turned off.

No more outages because NR's .NET agent generates code at runtime that causes segfaults. No more outages from the JS agent leaking memory if you instrument long-running functions. No more junior python devs spending days chasing the wrong call path because the Python agent produces bogus timing data on async python..

Just a dumb thing where we can ask for important flows to be traced and set up simple metrics for the things we want to keep track of.

Now we can keep using NRs dashboards, NRQL etc backend systems, which IMO are really good, without the downside of monthly outages each time we update an NR agent library.

If you're a young person who is hell-bent on owning a home, you should consider military service. The VA Loan is the easiest way into a mortgage with no money down, with location-specific terms to help you land a place to live in your hometown. Myself and my veteran friends (or their spouses) are the only people I "went to HS with" who are home owners today (now in our late 30's early 40's).

You can wish in one hand, or you can actually do something to help yourself achieve your dreams.

Just don't do anything stupid, like get shot.
> A city overwhelmed with permit applications by definition has more money to hire staff to work the permitting process.

Let's say you are paid "appropriately", and that your income comes from the fee payments associated with the tasks you complete. You're fully occupied, and the income from fees matches the expenses (including your salary). Things are in balance, so to speak.

Now we increase the number of fee payments by 80%. You can no longer complete all the associated tasks in any reasonably time frame, but the fee payments will not pay for an additional full time member of staff.

I might be wrong here. I just know some product quantization techniques, but you can reduce the index by a lot! However, from my research, the more size you reduce, the more retrieval quality is also reduced.

Quoting from https://github.com/criteo/autofaiss

> Using faiss efficient indices, binary search, and heuristics, Autofaiss makes it possible to automatically build in 3 hours a large (200 million vectors, 1TB) KNN index in a low amount of memory (15 GB) with latency in milliseconds (10ms).

I would highly recommend taking a look at AutoFaiss. You just have to set the maximum memory to build the index, and it will come up with the configuration.

Browsing realtor.com makes it looks like a strange choice to set this article in Milwaukee. I'm looking at listings for habitable houses well under $100k, some below $50k.

There's a $44k listing that is not quite 20 blocks from the neighborhood where one couple stretched to buy. I would have loved for the author to write more about why a budget-conscious couple opted not to look at homes that could be purchased for under $350/mo, even at today's interest rates.
Translation of your comment: you believe legal requirements around data deletion will reduce the risk of data breach and therefore are good.
