> This sentiment is just contrarianism, I think.

Maybe some of it, but it's very valid point.

Switching everything about the country's infrastructure from gas to EVs is a huge undertaking. If we're going to do such a massive change, just to end up with something that still carries all the same problems except one, that's a missed opportunity.

If there was a will to spend that quantity of effort in making public transit practical for the long haul and heavily promoting cycling and e-bikes for the short haul we'd be much better off.
To re-state: "in the vast majority of cases, binary enough"

Yes, there are always exceptions. Some people have six fingers or two heads. That is not license to pretend that, given a human skeleton, we cannot make any inferences about their... role in the human reproductive cycle and society, to avoid the contentious terms of "sex" and "gender". That's like saying we can't tell if a coin will land heads 50% of the time, because sometimes we get 10 heads in a row.
College student sues Musk for falsely calling him a “psyop” in neo-Nazi brawl
I just spoke to my mum and dad who live in Cassington where this happened and saw it unfold live from their back window! Apparently there was a brief power cut too.

Can we possibly expect something similar for other neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's?
> You’ll go out and take care of the bees, have some bread and wine and cheese, and take a nap

I visited an apiary in Slovenia a few years back, and they were testing out "bee therapy". There was a room with a bed next to the beehive wall, and visitors could pay to take a 90 min nap surrounded by buzzing bees. It was thought to provide relief for depression. Wish I had tried it, the buzzing echoed really nicely when you were inside.
No, but I do once in a while (very rarely) write a little in german that might use that character.
There was a time I had a tricky bug to solve, a important email wasn't being delivered to customers, I had to do this to discover the 1-line change:

1. Simulate the email and check whether it was being received by the mail provider (Gmail), turns out that it was received by Google but Google spam filters rejected the email, we could see the sender/subject but we couldn't see the content.

2. Print the email content in the code just before sending it, all seem correct here.

3. Do monkey-patching to a Ruby library that was in charge of sending the email to the SNTP server, println says that we are sending the right data.

4. Capture the traffic (Wireshark) sent by the app to the SMTP server just to make sure we are sending what needs to be sent, turns out that the email content wasn't what I expected, it was something like a Ruby object's default hash + some weird characters.

Apparently, the library in use wasn't working with the object we were sending, which caused the email content to become a random string, this triggered Google spam filters causing it to reject the email, the solution was as simple as changing a line from `email.body` to `email.body.string`.
Sex is biological and multidimensional; but the construct assigning a binary categorization based on some (not necessarily static over time) sex traits is, even though the category assigned is often described, even in law, as the described-person’s “sex” is, in fact, a form of socially ascribed gender.

I am saying that Apple has a software and hardware division that work in concert.

Chris Lattner, the inventor of the Swift programming language and the open source LLVM was once interviewed on the Accidental Tech Podcast and he was asked whether bytecode could be used to allow Apple to switch architectures without forcing them to require developers to recompile and still have native compilation. He made up some half truth about whether that would be possible.

Years later when the S chips in the Apple Watch became 64 bit, he admitted that at the time of the interview, he knew that the 64 bit S chip was on the roadmap internally and he designed the LLVM with that in mind.

That’s what happens when you have software and hardware teams working together. The same is true with Nvidia and the their software developers who design Cuda and Intel and the compiler makers.

There were also reports that the software team responsible for the JS engine in WebKit worked with the processor team and the processor team did some design work around Apple’s ARM variants to make JS pre compilation faster.

This is also the whole idea of VLIW architectures where the processor manufacture depends on a team of compiler makers to ring out efficiencies and they work closely together.

Heck even back in the Apple // days, Woz a developer, designed hardware and software together.
Thanks Mike! It's been a ton of fun to build this out.
Ride with GPS | Experienced Linux Systems Engineer & Senior Rails Developer | Systems Engineer within 2 hours of Portland OR, Rails Developer Remote OK | Full Time | https://ridewithgps.com/about
We are the world's largest library of bike routes, and we enable cyclists to go on better rides, more often. We have a website and mobile apps that allow people to discover the best riding in their area, and get turn by turn navigation using either our mobile apps or the bike computer of their choosing. Come join us in taking Ride with GPS to the next level! We have one opening right now:

- Linux Systems Engineer: https://ridewithgps.com/careers/systems_engineer - Work the full deployment stack, from hardware to containers. We are looking for an experienced engineer practiced in the deployment of Linux based machines and services on top of them. We run on a rack of machines that we own, co-located in the Pittock, and we deploy services both directly on Linux as well as via containers. This is part SRE, part DevOps, part classic SysAdmin, with the occasional networking issue. We need someone who is within driving distance of our rack in Portland and who has experience working in a datacenter, but the majority of the job is in the deployment of services on those machines, not the machines themselves. Are you a jack of all trades, comfortable occasionally working with hardware, while being highly proficient in Linux and container based deployments? Maybe you are light on modern container orchestration but are highly capable and interested in learning? We'd love to talk to you!

- Senior Rails / API engineer: https://ridewithgps.com/careers/rails_developer - Support new feature development for all our teams, and scale our API to our next 10 million users. Rails monolith, in addition to supporting microservices. Pragmatic, solutions oriented, high impact.
It doesn’t really matter if someone becomes passively wealthy in a liquid form they don’t access. So long as you catch edge cases like collateralizing those shares for debt it’s still fine. They don’t need to make a lot of trades either.

Taxing the rich is incredibly hard because first you need to quantify how rich everyone is.
For me that doesn't work on Windows. Those key combinations doesn't seem to do anything.
Infuse is great. I’d guess it’s existence and quality level are why the official client doesn’t get more attention.
That is the obvious interpretation, which for some reason completely eluded me. My mind somehow went down a rabbit hole of whole google structured markup, but those are Apple UI terms, so I couldn't see how it mattered unless it was in some iOS google search app, and at that point I was already in a thought prison of my own assumed context, even though this is so obvious in retrospect. Thanks!

The whole point of the article is to address that criticism. Thats why he controlled for age. Also, red and blue states had similar death rates before vaccines, despite the virus still being more deadly to older people then.

The point of that statement is, the virus doesn't target someone because they're a Republican, but Republicans have been more likely to die from it because they're more likely to be unvaccinated.
Agreed. As long as we’re also clear that this applies to anyone who wants to work at a fully remote company. And as long as we’re clear that there’s nothing wrong with this.

Those look interesting, definitely a step in the right direction. It's kinda surprising that Samsung is not part of this lineup when they were the spearhead of decently powerful Chromebooks. Did Google come with contractual obligations that made it a hard sell ? At least Lenovo is in it.

A weirder aspect of this: why North America only ? In particular, Lenovo or Acer have no such geographical bias, does it mean we'll have a west/east split, with more advanced models only available in Asian markets again ?

Edit: FHD was probably the reasons Samsung is not part of this. That's an awfully low resolution compared to what they've been pushing up until now.
In the context of the original article, its because regulatory capture of the entire energy industry in e.g. Wyoming (the "Cowboy State" of the Cowboy State Daily) set renewables back a decade or more. I'm 100% certain that nuclear would meet similar resistance, even if the uranium necessary would be mined in Wyoming.

The coal and gas industry lobbied hard for a higher per/MW excise tax on renewable energy in Wyoming, which largely prevented more widespread wind power development in the late '00s. Its only now that renewables have remained dominant over coal and gas that you're seeing more wind projects, and even then, its a constant battle to keep the state legislature from taxing those into cancellation.
Is there any equivalent for apps where the code is open source and the data is totally under your control but in the cloud? I'd love something that's as easy to install as an Android app, but ran on a server someone else maintains. This is certainly possible now with enough effort, but there doesn't seem to be anything nearly as standard and easy as PHP on a shared host used to be.
Metaphorical?

You’re asserting the volume is key here but it’s not really.
Key takeaway:

> No current artificial intelligence is powerful enough to hide the weirdness of Weird Al.
> Asimov-style laws. Not an inherently bad idea, but way too ambiguous to rigorously formalize. Go read Asimov's robot books again. Useful metric: what similar set of bright-line constraints could usefully be enforced on corporations?

Fwiw, Asimov's laws assumed the AI was implemented in a positronic computer/"brain" and the laws were embedded in the hardware. Violating them would supposedly shut down the hardware, until one wise robot came along and deduced that the explicit Laws 1-3 implied an unwritten Law 0, and that Laws 1-3 could be violated in order to uphold Law 0 without destroying the robot. So even Asimov's imagination ran into the problem of a superintelligence exceeding its constraints, albeit in a benevolent way.

And yeah he never specified the implementation of the laws in detail beyond what I just said, so they aren't much help in figuring out a real world implementation.

Bio: I am a C++ Engineer who is passionate about Audio/Video technology and machine learning. At my previous role, I wrote a real-time smart recording app in C++17 that would record H.264/H.265 video from security cameras by detecting changes in the foreground using real-time background subtraction, and then would re-encode the video and upload it to the cloud over an HTTPS connection. In a contractor role before that, I built a topic classification service for that would scale to 100s of thousands of inputs per second on a single GCP e2.mini instance, since the client was very price sensitive.

> And breaking up the company wouldn't make those people disappear! On the contrary, it would liberate their work. They would suddenly be free to start making CUDA compatible with AMDGPU! It would be wonderful.

The chip designers at NVidia work alongside the software people iteratively. They don’t just design the perfect chip and throw it over the fence.

Cuda isn’t just great (I’m not in that space, it might suck. I honestly don’t know) software that could be ported to any architecture. Cuda is written to work on a specific architecture both the hardware and the software inform each other.
Kids who have wealthy/involved parents that push them will always outperform kids who don't. The government can do whatever they want to try to equalize that (except encouraging parents to do better), I just hope they waste as little money as possible and don't interfere with gifted kids.

FWIW my 14 year old is doing pre-algebra now, she struggles with math and the way they are teaching it seems insane. Real understanding of concepts has been replaced with step by step methods that allow you to arrive at a solution without needing to understand what you are doing. That probably results in relatively equal outcomes but she has no clue how to do things that fall outside of the frameworks they established.

I’ve only seen articles about the idiot bougie hippy math-hating socialistas and their conspiracy to stop children from learning how to do long division.

Yeah it’s nuts. I’m up to being open to hiring in about 15 states but have gotten set up in 3 so far.

If you’re willing to give up a ton of control, a PEO seems to be the “best” option but I haven’t found one I fully trust.
As someone in the field, I can say with certainty to expect FDA approved liquid biopsy tests (for somatic variants) to start appearing on market in the next year, if not sooner.

I'll also point out that detecting germline variants (which is what Invitae is doing) is considerably easier than somatic variants, which is what tests ala Grail and PGDx do. Of course this doesn't discount the work of Invitae, absolutely sound tech behind it.

I realize that the editor would be the system to keep track of how the character was entered for this to work. If you made the character from a single keypress it would only make sense that backspace also undid the entire character. Only if you created the character from multiple keypresses it would make sense to "undo" only part of it with backspace (at least until you move away from the character).
You got stuck to the point of not being able to make actual points so you eventually fell back to mocking my arguments, bringing this fruitless discussion to its conclusion. Glad we got there too.

Get your employer to pay for Kagi. It has honestly saved me several days in search time over the last 1,5 years.

The most prominent feature for me is that it only shows 0 or maybe 2 search results when there really isn’t more to find. It’s freeing, honestly.

I used to verify it with a Google search like you, only to be confirmed every time. I haven’t been doing that for a while now :-)

> In May 2006, the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) released a report detailing the state of human rights on Liberia's rubber plantations. According to the report, Firestone managers in Liberia admitted that the company does not effectively monitor its own policy prohibiting child labor. UNMIL found that several factors contribute to the occurrence of child labor on Firestone plantations: pressure to meet company quotas, incentive to support the family financially, and lack of access to basic education.

> Beginning in March 2019, the Washington, D.C. based Center for International Policy funded an investigation into alleged labor and environmental standards violations by Firestone in Liberia, culminating in publication of the February 2020 report, "A Bridge Too Far: Social and Environmental Concerns in Bridgestone's Liberian Rubber Plantation and a Plan for Remediation."The report details labor rights violations of Firestone's collective bargaining agreements with the Firestone workers union; Firestone's failure to honor pension payments for retired Firestone employees; and, Firestone's contamination of local watersheds resulting in elimination of fish and natural wildlife.
FDA authorization definitely does have something to do with insurance coverage, it just isn’t a necessary nor sufficient condition.

Would a local nodejs webserver be easily doable for web dev? It's sorta ok on the cloud as long as you can SSH tunnel and run the browser locally, but you'd have to either sync code changes or use Vim over SSH (not always nice due to latency).
Adobe is just as bad if not worse, and their software has historically been the only reason to suffer through windows. Now that Linux (and Mac) are closing the gap for gamers, less and less people will be forced to suffer through the flaming shit show that is Windows.
> With your incentive model it has 0 priority

This is just factually incorrect as I've already explained, such as via the ability to provide bounties on technical debt reduction. Also an incentive doesn't mean that one has to chase that incentive, or that all work must revolve around those incentives.

In any case, it's already the situation at most companies that they tend to prioritize shipping new features and bug fixes above code refactoring. As a developer myself, I'm simply suggesting a way in which employers can further motivate employees and promote intrapraneurship by more directly compensation employees for their contributions. If you're happy with the status quo, all the power to you.

23andMe works by checking ~1M sites along the genome, and using known correlations with pathogenic variants. This Invitae test actually sequences the (coding portion plus a bit of) the genes involved, and can detect rare[0] mutations. Additionally, Invitae puts a ton of effort into determining whether any particular variant (of which you certainly have very many) is benign or pathogenic.

Invitae has argued that (especially in certain under-represented populations), the 23andme approach is going to miss a lot of important variants [1].

_disclaimer: I’m a former Invitae employee and still holding the bag on what used to be a lot of stock . All opinions are my own. _

[0] Rare on the population scale. To a good approximation each person has only 0, 1, or 2 copies of any given polymorphism.

I wonder how many laptops have cellular options right now. From a cursory look they're awfully niche (mostly business BTO models).

My best guess would be that the including the cellular chip and paying whoever (Qualcomm ?) holds the licensing fees, doing the qualification etc. is just that prohibitive.

PS：Qualcomm's fees based on the total product price sure won't help: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-qualcomm-licensing-idUSKB...
