Article says that multiple phone makers do this in Mexico. I haven't heard about this practice in other countries.

Could it be that there is a particularly dumb law in Mexico which makes companies do this?
In recent years, though, the government found evidence that individual applicants were submitting as many as 10 entries into the lottery to increase their chances of winning. Many of those applicants, moreover, were being sponsored by the same handful of small, little-known tech companies.

So what? These people will no longer be your run of the mill "runner". They will be augmented, much the way we're augmented by using bicycles and skis, etc.

The original claim that if someone were to be able to move at these speeds that they would suddenly need to be heavily bogged down in safety gear is flat out ridiculous. Comparing it to other sports where we move at similar speeds should be more than enough evidence of that.
The average truck/SUV driver has also changed.
Because not all jobs can be remote or in different time zones. If they can employed them in Afghanistan, they would definitely do that, since they will be able to pay much less due to the local cost of living. It’s the same thing with employing people in SV and employing them remote in, say Utah.
Actually given recent reports on how kids these days only know how to tap at mobile and nothing else, we may need to stringent these restrictions just to teach them how to hack network like good old days.
> Oh I know. I guess my disappointment is more rooted in a lack of at-home storage solutions.

Time Machine still works well. Fun fact: Apple used to sell a "Time Machine device" in the form of the AirPort Extreme Base Station. Today, you can buy a cheap, easy-to-use NAS (QNAP TS-133 is $140 + drive cost) with Time Machine support for at-home backup.
I think the term you're going for here is heterogeneous multi-processing/computing, not asymmetric multiprocessing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE#Heterogeneous_m...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_computing

It even lists big.LITTLE there as a typical example in the second article. big.LITTLE itself never had different ISAs as far as I could tell, just scheduling caveats that lead to efficiency tradeoffs, like the first article mentions.
> road wear and damage due to increased weight

Given gas taxes typically fund roads, it would be good to what the MPG vs. Weight ratios look like. Is my Honda Pilot 2x, 3x worse than my old Honda Civic given fuel economy?
big.LITTLE is typically cores with the same architectural features, just different performance due to different microarchitecture. A7/A15/A17, or A53/A57/A72, or A55/A76.

This let them run the same code, even the same system level code. The scheduler only had to optimize performance, without tasks being pinned to one core or another for correctness.
>I understand "lead-free" fumes are actually worse, but you should avoid all fumes regardless.

Read the SDS for any rosin available leaded and lead free. Lead free will have P260, leaded will have P261, a significantly higher risk. And P302 vs P301, and other additional risks.

Their “CUDA core” is not warp-wide, it’s a single lane.

If you’re talking about FP32 rates, they double it because of FMA (floating-point multiply-accumulate). Everyone does that.
A great deal of what you said is true, and it changes nothing about the fact that a giving a single digit percentage of NATO's total annual defense spending to Ukraine has stopped Russia's advance and crippled their ability to wage modern war while leaving NATO's ability completely intact.

What would 10% do? 50%?

I don't know if Syria is a good example to give of arrogance leading to an impending downfall.

* A force of about 1,000 US personnel at al-Tanf garrison has supported anti-regime fighters and effectively denied half of the country to the Syrian regime and Russia. A similarly small Turkish force has done the same in the north.

* The only time Russian forces engaged with US forces they were soundly defeated, and that is being extremely polite.

* Israel flies over Syria with impunity. For over a decade, Israel, flying US aircraft, has bombed what they want, when they want, and has only lost a single fighter (one F-16, no fatalities) despite thousands of missiles being launched at them.

* The only time NATO and Russian aircraft engaged each other, the Russian aircraft was shot down. The Russian aircraft failed to detect the radar lock of the Turkish F-16 and then failed to detect the incoming missile, leading to its destruction. Then one of the rescue helicopters was destroyed. It should be noted that the Turkish F-16 is a much less capable aircraft than what would make up the bulk of the US force in a US-Russia conflict.

* The United States routinely operates two aircraft carriers in the region. The Russians cannot successfully deploy even one. Right now the Ford is there and the Eisenhower is on its way.

* Someone, either Syria or Iran, keeps shooting rockets and launching kamikaze drones at al-Tanf garrison and they all keep getting shot down. The only casualty so far has been a civilian contractor who had a heart attack while running to a shelter.

The US presence in Syria is so small that it doesn't even register in the national consciousness as being an ongoing event.

Also, the USS Carney-- a lone US destroyer, shot down 19 Yemeni (and therefore, Iranian) drones and cruise missiles last week over a nine hour period. Russian air defenses cannot reliably stop western cruise missiles. I work in synthetic aperture radar development and I can assure you that the USS Carney's radar systems are very good but are already a decade out of date and the new systems coming on line are much, much better than Carney's.

I don't think any of that is indicative of arrogance that may lead to a downfall.

So much this. I use Shapr3D on my iPad, my Macbook and my Windows desktop. I often need to export STLs or 3MFs for 3D printing from one to the other. On Windows, iCloud is an absolute trainwreck. It'll often get stuck on a single file and not update anything else. You never know when it will update. You actually never know when the iPad or iPhone is going to upload to iCloud. It's frustrating. There's no way to force it.

Obsidian is worse. I have an iCloud vault and often files will get duplicated for no reason on Windows.

If the iCloud app ever gets updated, the update notes are obtuse at best. Actually, I don't know if it's ever been updated since I was forcibly switched to the Windows Store version of it.

I don't understand the rationale at all.
This is why I picked self hosting this time.

My security may not be the best but I don’t have a giant “we store thousands of passwords” bullseye painted on my back.

Something akin to security through obscurity yes but I’ve concluded the central approach is even worse - it’s the “this system is unhackable” thing all over. May as well dare the best to hack it

> but they advertised themselves to companies as "we will find candidates who pass your existing hiring process"

If TripleByte really succeeded with this, the customer companys could save quite some money by simplifying their hiring processes. The problem in my opinion rather is that most company's hiring processes have an official and a hidden agenda, and TripleByte only attempted to find candidates that might succeed in the official agenda.

I am curious about maps and the software to generate them and play with them, but when I tried - a few years ago, admittedly - to dabble in it (I wanted to generate those art-sy nice city maps pictures for my hometown [1]), I was overwhelmed with the ecosystem, all the steps involved, all the options etc.

Does anyone have a good introduction to paint a high level picture of this, so someone like me can navigate?

Your entire comment starts with the assumption that a military invasion in gaza could possibly lead to the end of Hamas. Hamas is not a group of people. It's an idea, and in recent history shooting ideas has only ever made them stronger. Israel can't shoot themselves out of this situation unless they're willing to kill or expel every single person living in Gaza if not also the west bank.

Let me be clear, any Israeli policy that calls for the long term imprisonment of Gaza will lead to more israelis dying. You just can't treat 2 million people like that and expect that none of them become terrorists. That's not how humans work
Well first you would have to define 'agency' or 'freedom' in such a way, that excludes from its possessors, the possibility of creating new agency/freedom reducing technologies.

Which doesn't seem all that plausible philosophically or logically.
> My air conditioner just died, would be great if a matter compatible one became available.

What would you want the API to look like here?

I would be very conservative about opening up an API if I was a manufacturer. The reason being that there may be misuses by amateur coders that may increase wear on the product, and leading to increase in warranty claims.

I, as a manufacturer, would much rather prefer customers buy something like a Nest/Ecobee, etc. and manage that. Nest (and likely Ecobee) likely have smarts to not turn the AC on/off 30 times within 10 minutes, etc. Also, you benefit from other algorithms like "Time-to-Temp" (Nest), malfunctioning equipment alerts (Nest), etc. If you're in the US, many electricity utilities will give you a discount if you buy a smart thermostat, and then you can further gain $$ by enrolling in demand-response programs.
Or any of the companies that can run mainframe COBOL and provide all the ecosystem. heirloom computing is of course the best (i am cto) but Micro Focus, lzlabs etc all enable you to run off mainframe with a full ecosystem.

I would hate to see this. That's essentially what the PC and Android markets are like, which are both full of shitty manufacturers making poorly supported throwaway hardware. The IoT market is even worse.

Coming from Wintel, the vertical integration of Apple is a dream by comparison. Never had a single hour of downtime, compared to all the reformats and driver reinstalls and registry hacks and display glitches and such that I've experienced with Windows machines, even top end Razers, Lenovos, Asus, and Alienware/Dell.

Android was similarly terrible until the Nexus/Pixel lines, which again have first party control. Even the Play Edition and Motorola phones had issues not worth dealing with.

There's plenty of generic chips out there, and no name manufacturers making commodity garbage. Apple doesn't need to play in that market.
Not sure I follow. NAS works fine at home (though it may still need a backup to a different physical location to reduce physical risks like fire or flooding)—-do you mean a solution that allows you to access NAS safely from any location?

That’s what happens now. The company picks their own candidates. Did you think the government assigned employees to a company? Visa rejections may happen only if the immigrant has issues with their background, the paperwork/process was not done correctly or the quota has been hit.
There's legitimate crypto stuff, as in institutions where people aren't just trying to do crime, there's no story there though.

Here's some dull headline examples:

* Brave attempts to reward creators with a Basic Attention Token, mostly flops.

* Open source MetaMask project creates reliable software used by many.

* Litecoin founder sold all coins due to a perceived conflict of interest.

The crazy SBF, cult ponzi scheme of Celsius or the insane financial Michael Milken Tether stories are just better content.

But let's be accurate and not deny the complexities of reality for narrative expediency. Vitalik Buterin, for example, probably not a criminal.
Any examples? How do you reattribute other peoples’ PRs?
transcoding sucks on phones IME. Samsung added a built in, pretty barebones transcoder but even then it's very slow (obviously) and doesn't run in the background. you can do it on a computer instead, without any cloud service, but then you are back to having to deal with manually transferring your files and managing them.
Because software isn't the only industry critical to an economy, others are too. You can argue that pay=value to the economy but in practice, you can't equalize value and pay across all industries. Here is an extreme example: no matter how good a high school teacher is at teaching and innovative classroom management, no school would pay them 300K a year to teach because the average salary for this role is 60k. A more realistic example is a biotech PhD scientist with years of experience and proven impact in pharmaceutical industry. You would be hard pressed to find a company willing to pay this scientist 300K a year (avg salary for principal reseach scientist in SF is 200K).

Value and pay aren't the same across industries. Someone can still contribute the same value but the field they are in simply doesn't have the economic profitability required to pay them the same way software does. In fact, software is the anomaly in compensation. Making a policy that benefits only one type of industry over everything else is simply bad policy.
The article opens with:

> It’s already well-established that heavier vehicles do more damage to roads than lighter ones, so it only makes sense for them to pay extra for the privilege of driving, say, a GMC Hummer EV.

Which as far as I can tell misrepresents the situation. A hummer does about 20x the damage as a regular car. An 18-wheeler does 400x the damage of a regular car.

Source: https://streets.mn/2016/07/07/chart-of-the-day-vehicle-weigh...

Of course that's just road damage, and doesn't account for the increase in likelihood of pedestrian deaths. But as far as I can tell, 18-wheelers cause the vast majority of road damage on any paved roads, and if we're charging vehicles fairly, then normal cars pay "almost nothing", a hummer EV pays "20x almost nothing which is still very little", and the very large trucks are the only ones paying a substantial amount.

So then the options are:

1) Make deliveries or other services such as garbage pickup much much more expensive because we're honestly charging vehicles by road damage.

2) Acknowledge that smaller consumer vehicles are actually subsidizing road damage caused by garbage pickup etc, but pretend that's not the case and use claims of "heavy EVs are destroying our roads" to make heavier consumer vehicles be the only group paying that subsidy.

3) Acknowledge that smaller consumer vehicles are actually subsidizing road damage caused by garbage pickup etc, and raise money based on that so that we have a functioning road network which benefits everyone with a vehicle.

Personally I prefer (3) but anecdotally I've seen a lot of people out there pushing for (2). I'm fine with taxing higher weight vehicles to discourage their use and save cyclist/pedestrian lives (like mine!), but let's not lie about it.
I had no idea he spoke Urdu and worked undercover in Pakistan o_O

Anyways, it doesn't look like he ever worked in software, despite having majored in CS (?)
It seems to me that an even more relevant metric
(if there were a reasonable way to calculate it) would be deaths "per passenger mile" rather than "per vehicle mile".
18 wheelers already pay additional tax based on weight and mileage.
this feels meaningless, you can find impressively credentialed people saying it is and isn't

if this dude was confidently correct he should go make billions on the market
A few comments up I wrote why this way of thinking is wrong. Artificial limit of worker supply isn’t doing anything good for the society.

Its funny reading this, because the housing market has never not looked like a bubble in my life. I guess it wasn't a bubble in the 70s-80s? Its hard to conceptulise what a housing market that isn't looks like.
Not until the crash. How do you make money in crashing real estate prices anyway? Only accessible thing that comes to mind is shorting REITs.
"We" can't, but this guy is getting richer than Croesus selling that yarn.
We are certainly in a bubble. In some ways, we're better off than 2008 since we wont see nearly as many foreclosures, but on the other hand if interest rates stay sane for the next decade, there will be many people who are in homes they wont be able to leave.

I'm not sure what this will really mean, except that obviously it will be harder to buy a home for some time, and you'll likely see a rise in renters (which we have already been seeing, and which from my perspective is not a good thing).
A neo-Airport with a built in caching service + the TM stuff would be great. Having a local “hot cache” on iCloud makes so much sense. Ditching that product still defies any logical explanation.
Suffice to say, you don't just go download your favourite open-source operating system in the mainframe world. You pay IBM a shitload of money for their proprietary one.

There is linux-on-Z but that's a completely different environment, intentionally. It's basically running linux in a virtualized environment (the only kind of environment on a mainframe) so that stuff expecting POSIX can run on the same hardware as mainframe jobs.
Yeah, everything is a tradeoff that should have a coherent risk-benefit analysis attached to it. "X at all costs" isn't realistic.
This kind of scams can happen to any industry.
It is kinda required. The DMCA requires you to implement a policy for terminating repeat copyright infringers. You aren't required to call them "strikes", but you have to keep track of who is a repeat infringer and terminate their account. You have some leeway in how you implement it, but you do need to take action against repeat infringers. As such, any infringement that doesn't get overturned will end up as a strike against you (whether it's called a strike or not).
Agreed. The crypto folks are getting a bit too ahead of themselves and are get manipulated over the price rise.

It just takes one announcement from the SEC and other regulators to send the price down again and we will go below $24k - $20k.

I'm guessing that at least one exchange is going to be found out to be insolvent soon and the owner of a major crypto exchange beginning beginning with 'B' is going to get indicted and arrested over fraud charges in cooperation with regulators in the middle east.
