Silicon Valley meets The Blacklist
Remember that time when the AP and Reuters published headlines that Israel had bombed a Palestinian hospital with 500 dead? When was that? Two days ago?

I very much doubt their journalistic integrity when they publish Gaza Ministry of Health (Hamas) talking points without question.

We now know the hospital was not bombed ([1] it hit the parking lot), there is no way there were 500 casualties as was so breathlessly reported by those agencies "that takes accuracy seriously." The consensus also seems to be it was a Palestinian misfire that hit the parking lot, not an Israeli missile as was reported, at the time, as a fact.

It’s the other way around: programs which cannot adapt to the availability of info coming from CHS risk losing funding. This article claims the program dried up late last year.

Yes, QR codes, and that's what most apps do.
A lot of places you just report things. But there might be at most 10 categories of things. A hell of a lot less random tax credit systems involved.

I think it's understated how much of the tax mess in the US is also linked to "policy through tax credit and deductibles".
Thankfully, that would require changing the constitution, something that is probably impossible in his lifetime.

> Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform

For those who don't know, Grover Norquist is a highly influential, batshit crazy right-wing ideologue who believes the estate tax is morally equivalent to the holocaust. Almost every Republican lawmaker on the national level signs a pledge he has written, swearing they will not raise taxes.

> Buy an EV? It’s in a db

I don't expect car purchases to be in a federal database (or the schools my children attend, for that matter).
It seems really interesting. The key thing to understand is that there are deep architectural choices made in each of these systems that really influence what you can do. There is "mechanical sympathy" with certain kinds of applications.

ElectricSQL is a distributed database. It's not going to run anywhere near 60fps with tons of users, because it's not running in memory on the server like Reflect/PartyKit/Liveblocks do. OTOH it will allow you to filter/query interact with much more data at the same time than Reflect/PartyKit/Liveblocks do – Reflect has a limit currently of 50MB per room and it's not practical to have dozens of rooms open at one time to get around this.

Systems in the Reflect room/document based model are well suited for applications where you primarily interact with one "document" at a time and you want that to be as realtime as possible. Figma is the canonical example. You want the entire document to move together at 60 FPS, completely fluidly. It's not going to be possible to do this well in the ElectricSQL model IMO. Spreadsheets, presentations and documents are other examples. Systems in the ElectricSQL model are more suited for applications where you are interacting with lots of documents at the same time. Think CRMs, bug trackers, etc.

Of course real applications are messy. Even document editors always have a dashboard where you can at least see all your documents at once. And CRMs of course have a detail view that looks like a document editor. Both types of systems are going to track toward the other to support the needs of real applications.

HTH!
Hosting-Checker – Modern tool to find out where a webservice is hosted
I'm in Alberta, aka North Montana. Can confirm Diesel is big here, tho there is arguably a practical need.

There is some anecdotal story about how Chevy had a batch of diesel Colorado trucks and they sold out couple hours hour they made them available online.
Great service to find out where a website is hosted!

Hosting Checker not only checks websites, but which providers are used for email and name servers.
The USSR collapsed because of imbalances caused by decades of centralized planning and control.

China survived communism because it implemented free-market reforms (while retaining centralized control in the political structure).

I'd say generally, the free market is what makes economies work.

Nope. There used to be something, based on this URL I found, but it looks like it has not been maintained for years:

https://www.kobo.com/ww/en/p/drm-free

Your current best bet IMO is just to search for books that have this line on their description page:

https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/shadow-claw

> At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

You could turn that into your search engine filter, i.e.:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%22without+Digital+Rights+Manageme...

But admittedly that's not a great way to search.

Your better option is just to make note of some publishers that do not use DRM (like Tor Publishing), and search against them instead.
I do not work for a cloud at all and prefer self hosting myself.

I guess I could see my comment being taken otherwise.

I’d recommend you approach it from a hyperlocal perspective, find the local data center you think will be best for you then look up who is offering colo out of that data center. Then do some network testing. Maybe compare a couple data centers. The providers are going to vary in most cases. So I don’t recommend looking for a specific provider just because it works for me or someone else. You’ll get to pick your bandwidth provider too in many cases.

I like to make sure the network hop path to my home is as direct as possible. My ISP has a large presence in one of the local “backbone” data centers so that’s where I find the best results. But still do testing, it’s not all about location when it comes to latency. If you visit the data centers, or online, they often list names of colo providers. They’re often rather small shops and not large brands so going to be very location specific
When it becomes too big to fail, it feels to me something other than the market is intervening to keep it alive.
I don’t think the idea was for it to scale broadly? You could make a similar argument about higher education anyway, the current cultural mantra is that every single kid would benefit from university and should be the top goal broadly, which cannibalized a ton of useful industry and left tons of kids with $100k in debt and no life skills - yet still thinking they should have a university-type job, so they sit around depressed in their parents house and wash out into some low paying job like journalism or some unsatisfying gov job demanding 2 degrees.

There’s a ton of smart go-getting kids across every country in the west who would have benefited from having someone tell them that there’s great options outside of college. It’s still going to be a niche but that doesn’t mean it’s a tiny one.

It’s not just tech startup’s and programming either, there’s a million entrepreneurial type skills that can be developed just by going out in the world at 18 and taking a risk.

This is more than just who Thiel invested in too, he’s still a VC, it was an idea (and marketing tool) as much as a specific investment program.

They're really pushing this shorts thing in a failed attempt to compete with TickTok. For me the format is totally inane. Vertical video doesn't make sense for desktop. I imagine most people here are not looking for soundbite news. News networks have been pushing that for decades and are consistently loosing viewers.
I’m often disappointed in these chart as an avid fan of experimental bass music and everything adjacent to it (dub, dubstep, riddim, trap, DNB, UK garage, glitch hop, neuro hop, etc.) Genre-bending has become the norm, making it increasingly harder to describe music and trace lineage.

The scene I’m into right now is blossoming yet underrepresented. There’s some artists out there really pushing the envelope. I highly recommend Of The Trees, Daily Bread, Esseks, FRQ NCY, and IMANU, for starters.

Some friends pushed me to dive into Techno about a year ago. Totally different animal. I’m not quite “there” yet in terms of my understanding and appreciation for that musical movement, but I the juice is there and it is indeed sweet.
I think your observation tracks correctly.

The TF used to also be about all sorts of weird stuff. There were hardware companies, biotech companies, kids just randomly studying math. Now it's only software. To be fair those other pursuits are hard, but I don't think the TF really gave support besides $ in ways that are meaningful for those sorts of endeavors. And when they were funded the terms were structured like terms that make sense for software companies.
I haven't tried that particular one yet, I might not have enough RAM to run it, though, but gonna give it a try. It seems like one of the larger code-focused local models. Cheers for the suggestion!

You are definitely gonna mess typing this up. A few dots replaced with commas, the colon replaced with semicolon. And remember, most people don't have enough patience to retype the address once it didn't work.

As for the credit/debit card number, it isn't comparable as it is widely used and understood. And yes, QR code is a far better solution, and it is employed by most apps.

Outside the US, college education is not the place where you go to have fun and finding interesting stuff. It is considered to be your first professional duty as an adult. You can have all the fun you want outside classes.
Given his past successful vendetta against Gawker, it takes an exceptional amount of cojones for a publication to go after him.
Reminder that Tor Publishing group (https://www.tor.com/) publishes some of the best sci-fi and fantasy books on the planet, and all of their ebooks are DRM-free. They are one of the only major non-indie publishers to do so. I recommend patronizing them, whenever possible.
You are cherry picking the one (weaker) example by badly interpreting it and trying to extend that to the others.

All groups have hypocrisy where people push for others to aim for lofty goals, but fight tooth and nail to not have their local community pay the costs. Left, right, authoritarians, anarchists, etc.
That’s less of an issue than failing to properly describe COVID as airborne and spreading misinformation about the effectiveness of handwashing on COVID transmission
If the headline is that Person X said Thing Y, that means the claim is unverified. You should know this. It's basic media literacy 101.

When I contrast mainstream media to alternative media, the main difference I see is that alt media is a lot less careful with signaling confidence levels and eventual correctness. No "said X" in the title, no retractions, no requests for comment from affected parties. No journalism. The fact that you can find alt media which is biased in a way that you personally find desirable is not an indication of quality.

I'm in biotech (as a software engineer/data scientist) and here this stuff is used a lot. Experiments are very hands on and expensive in terms of inputs so you want to be efficient with your use of them.

Bayesian approaches (e.g. optimization with Gaussian processes) tend to be very serial in nature: later sampling points are decided from the information you get earlier on. But these biological experiments can take days or weeks so you want to run them in parallel as much as possible. DoE is excellent for that.

I'm speccing out a D-optimal design as we speak (though I'm not sure this is what we will use for the particular project I'm on).
Everyone that knows anything about Peter Thiel knows that he's not a libertarian. In his book and various interviews he makes it clear that he is heavily influenced by post-enlightenment thinkers. He's even explicitly said he does not believe freedom and democracy can co-exist, and that we need silicon valley in the defense industry to help combat the enemies of america.
Damn shame, I just migrated a 10,000+ student LMS to Moodle for a contract job. Unfortunately due to the contract terms theres not really any room to play around with something new.

Moodle is a total beast to scale, it uses a ton of memory and EVERYTHING assumes its running on one server, not a high-availability setup.
>> In a written statement to Insider, [...] Johnson said that he was exposing Thiel's work as a CHS as retribution [...]

> They actually wrote "retribution". Sounds like an additional hint that outing might not be OK.

Charles C. Johnson has a very colorful history. Rep. Matt Gaetz (also in the news lately) invited him to the State of the Union in 2018 after which multiple outlets reported on Johnson's Holocaust denier past and his other activities.[0][1]

In my opinion, I wouldn't trust Johnson or let him know any real secrets – damaging or not – about me. I'm a bit surprised Thiel would trust him – seems like a blunder that he typically doesn't make.

The rest of the article is a hit piece with a bunch of guilt-by-association attacks against Thiel, but Johnson is curiously spared from having his past brought up.

> is virtually unnoticeable to the creator

Only in some segments. Car videos have extreme CPMs, probably because it's all exclusively watched via iPhones (or at least people who don't want to delve into sideloading an alternate YouTube client on Android) - they probably won't notice. But the CPMs for gaming videos have historically been fairly low because of the percentage of users using an ad blocker.

And I illustrate here[0] how AdSense revenue is still a large chunk of a creator's revenue, and LTT's situation is fairly special with how much they really plug and invest in their "merch", with a lot of their revenue being custom products and not just cool design T-Shirts. They can't just get video sponsors to pay more for the same ad space, and putting more sponsorships in the video devalues all sponsors and hurts the viewing experience.

Contextually the most optimal choice.
It's not particularly surprising that there's a higher-than-baseline success rate for a program that selects people who are already best-positioned for success. Can't help but wonder what the value-add of the program is at that point.

If a billionaire instead sets up a similar program for, say, parolees and sees higher-than-baseline success, then that's something to celebrate.

I guess it’s awkward if you were trying to argue that college is the best way for everyone to achieve entrepreneurial success, but I ‘m not sure that’s a common argument for college. Certainly, the people I went to college with didn’t have that as a primary goal.

To be fair, it does seem extra challenging to identify 17 to 20 year olds who will go on to be entrepreneurial successes, and Thiel and his selection committee deserve credit for that. It doesn’t really confirm his broader ideas about college, though.

Edit: stuartjohnson12 claimed in their comment that many recipients have already received funding and started building their business and/or have wealthy parents. If true, that makes the fellowship’s ability to identify people who will go on to succeed less significant.
You're talking about the annoying workers running electric tools instead of gas ones. If you want them to be quiet on your street, once a week, they need propre electric equipment in their day to day jobs. This isn't hard to understand. They arent' going to only use electric when they come to your block just for you.
you don't need backroom deals, it's just normal marked because

1. it's not a consumer product but mainly an OEM product

2. it's supply limited (much more so then server or desktop CPUs as the marked is in general more niche)

3. it's an OEM product, i.e. it only sells to companies always in large amounts and they put it into their product. BUT for such supply chains a minimal quantity is needed to be sold per customer. Or the customer won't buy because it's to little to do a product launch.

5. Only if there are left overs is selling to end users even considered, not because of backroom deals, but because it financially makes no sense at all. I would even go as far as to say AMD makes no (relevant degree of money) profit from the DIY sells of Threadripper.

Or in other words it's the standard procedure for companies selling to companies in case of limited demand to first sell to your second best customer as little as you can to satisfy their minimal needs, then continue to your 2nd best customer, 3rd best etc. If there is a huge step down between nth and n+1th best also maybe revisit the first n best customers first and increase their quantity.

> the actions of one individual do not represent the whole party

The "bad apples" phrase is often (usually?) misused. The whole saying is: "One bad apple spoils the barrel". In general, it refers to corruption, and especially bent coppers. Here in the UK, we recently had the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police saying that the rash of rapists in the Met is just "a few bad apples".

It's not just a question of taint; if you leave the "bad apples" in there, you'll end up with no good apples at all.

I've heard some variation of this many many times, and remain very unconvinced. General education in university isn't the norm around the world. Are non-americans all hyper-specialized people who know nothing else of the world? Are people who didn't go to university the same? Did someone do a study at some point and conclude that general ed was important or do these general ed requirements exist purely because they are tradition?

It's really hard to find anything uploaded by regular people/primary sources ever since youtube became the "news" source aggregator. They can rename it newstube for all I care.

This makes it mostly worthless to me, when most news are simply regurgitated from somewhere else anyway and this aggregation just makes the search results insanely repetitive and it's impossible to scroll down to something else but this type of content.

It's only escapable by searching by upload time, but then you lose any sorting by relevancy among the non-news content.

If anything I'd like a non-news filter. :) News are already available from better, more focused websites.
