The university your partner works at sounds like non of the universities I have worked at or heard of.

Regarding home office, when covid hit we went to all online teaching with a lead time of a few weeks (changing an in person course to online teaching is not straight forward). There was no funding for setting up the home office and rules around covid meant that you couldn't even deduce your office at home from taxes.

Even when we went to hybrid teaching there was no central support for kitting out lecture halls with cameras/microphones etc. Academics often used some research (or personal) funds for purchasing cameras etc.

About flights and misuse of funds. I find it hard to believe that people could purchase flights with their cards at all universities I have been at you had to use the approved travel agent for flights. Also the only people allowed to fly business were high level management/admin, no matter where funding was from. Also I don't have an issue with submitting receipts, however I don't see why I have to spend the time on scanning receipts which I also have to send in as original. Moreover why do I need to know freaking tax codes for a train ticket or some lab consumables? Isn't that exactly what finance's job is?
Consider starting a little further south with a trip to Yakushima.

Driving and hiking around the island made for a nice contrast to Tokyo.

The hydrofoil and a diy bbq at Sen's house made that part of our trip feel personal and remote.
Of course not. You have to go through a Data Protection Officer (DPO): https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/gdpr...

There are lots of people online who claim remote work is an asbolutely superior model for any tech company.

this is fine until enough people pay

Headphone remote controls are supported by rockbox (the iPod FM Radio A1187 is an example of this).
This is silly when you go into work to remote into meetings with others sitting at their desk in the build across the street.

Facebook, Google, Apple have been laying off people. The return to office was about real estate, local power and getting employees to move or quit.
That Wikipedia list is missing chicago. If you happen to live near the blue line you can ride it all the way into ohare.

San Francisco is already connected via Bart and caltrain can take you to the Bart station before the airport, so you have to transfer. Just like at Oakland where you have to transfer to a tram that links the airport to Bart.

San Jose being connected by train is an egregious bending of the truth. The truth is there is no train to San Jose Airport. There is just a bus.

The US Bureau of Engraving and Printing had greenhouse emissions of roughly 40,000 tons in 2021 to make roughly $900m worth of dollar bills. The US Mint I don't have up-to-date numbers for, but reasonable extrapolation is something like 20,000,000 tons for $5b worth of coinage.

In other words, Bitcoin uses more energy, and emits more carbon, than the largest currency in circulation. If you scale it by transaction volume, it's not even close.
Turn down the volume of media, cut off internet access to Gaza. Massacres are best executed in darkness.
>One thing I miss about in-office work is that people would spontaneously draw diagrams in meetings. The same diagrams would get drawn over and over again, evolving. And everybody did it, so everybody was rehearsing the architecture in their heads and had a basic grasp of it. It was like a tribe singing the same songs over and over again, trying out variations and evolving the “official” version over time.

I got a laptop with a touch screen and baked in stylus. Screen share + paint is my white board. I can screenshot them and dump them into our chat logs. Works pretty well and people do seemingly find it charming.
> I’m still running an old AirPort Time Capsule at home because it is so reliable and easy to use

It was easy to use, as long as you had an Apple or Windows device at hand. Unlike nearly every other WiFi hardware, it didn't have a web interface for configuration; you had to use a desktop application to configure it.
Your comment seems to conflate a language with an ABI. To what end? What is inherently insecure about the C ABI? Why is using a syscall interface any more secure?
Why should they? Other people have already done that, and it's not good for Bitcoin.

All the actual news on the SF real estate market is waiting for the effects of various local laws being flatly overridden by the state [1], which will take about six months from now to get to the 'or else' point of huge amounts of state funding being pulled from the city.

In particular, it will completely eliminate discretionary review for most projects, which is an overwhelming source of construction delays and cost inflation in SF.

I wonder if Floola still works? It was great for managing iPods on Linux back in the day.
GOOD RIDDANCE. The Lightning port is junk, a step backward on the day of its release. The ancient 30-pin iPod connector was more technically capable than this thing, even for delivering video!

Here's the 10-year-old post by Panic that revealed just how gimped this thing is: https://blog.panic.com/the-lightning-digital-av-adapter-surp...

Start furiously downvoting, iPologists!
I work for a large cloud service that is not Google where the SRE culture varies heavily depending on which product you’re building. SREs are a necessity to free up devs to do actual dev work. Platform and infra teams should tightly couple SWEs and SREs to keep SWEs accountable, but not responsible for day to day operations of the infra - you’ll never get anything done :)
And of course physical currency - i.e. M0 - is only a small portion of the total money supply measured by M2.
No: but the ads ARE THERE. They're actually in front of you. Not so with an ad blocker.
Locking down phones so much was really a mistake. If you have to do what basically amounts to voodoo just to restore it.

Oh, yeah. Forgot about ADB. Was that the same pinout as AppleTalk, or were they just annoyingly similar?
> This is not a real suggestion to have no spy agencies, right?

I do think we should not have these specific agencies, because they've proven themselves too corrupt, and we should consider a "defund" strategy for our entire military industrial complex, completely dismantling the existing systems and replacing them with something a little less... evil? Certainly scaled back by a few orders of magnitude.

But then the only reason these agencies act the way they do and get away with it is because the government wants it that way. So maybe just burn it all down, I don't know. I'm starting to think Thomas Jefferson was right and we should at least try to shoot all the politicians, rip up the Constitution and start over every 20 years.

So not a realistic suggestion, no.

> Would you have the US disband their military as well?

Honestly I think the world would be better off if the US only had the national guard and a small purely defensive coastal navy like Japan. Maybe not randomly fuck up Asian or Middle Eastern countries every few years in the name of oil or Jesus or kickbacks to Lockheed Martin.
Controversial Opinion: This is a good idea. There is zero need to make these Black Mirror lethal but tracking and apprehending is a scary job and Cops are human (there are also bad cops). Automating that process seems like Step 1 to getting out of our current strategy of

"Well cops are bad, so we can't enforce any laws".

Well-intentioned ACLU action and Public backlash have made these very hard to roll out, but long term, this may be the only the solution (along with wholesale long-term welfare overhaul of course)
But they for sure had regular USB cables around, which still would have been better than Lightning.
It is not like you can’t get rid of ads, you can just pay subscription fee.

It is a monopoly doesn’t mean it is a public utility. PG&G has a monopoly in electricity in my region, does it mean I can steal the electricity because I don’t like PG&E and I don’t have other options?

All tv channels have either ads or you need to pay, how is this different than what YouTube is trying to do?

I honestly don't know what to say when companies with billions in PROFIT per QUARTER, cannot provide adequate working conditions for their employees.
That's not a failure of the market - it's not worth their overhead to deal with someone working 30 hours a week. Quality dropoff and more people quitting takes time to have an effect, and then it takes time to for that effect to be noticed and corrected. Medicine has an additional quirk in that the government strictly limits who can practice and where they can practice.
You're going to need to provide a source for "the amount of lead taken up from leaded avgas in the community is close to zero" otherwise it's FUD.

Local Time Machine backups for iOS would be amazing!

Apple could sell some Time Capsules, and users could back up to USB-C drives in a pinch as well. (Why on earth do I need to sync to a laptop that has less storage than my phone?!)

But I doubt it will ever happen – charging for iCloud storage by the gigabyte at pretty disappointing rates is way too lucrative.
It’s interesting that there hasn’t been anyone since to continue developing Tom’s code. I wonder how long the situation might continue. If no one wants to take over in near future, they might have to remove the feature.
I love rockbox but never quite found the UX to feel quite as effortless as iPod OS. I've tried a few skins for it but all of them end up feeling slightly less slick than stock
What does this even mean? My point is that Japanese society has a lot of old institutions and practices that accommodate rebuilding and revitalization. California was largely built up after WWII and has a lot of institutions that favor suburban development and have a status quo bias.
The government shouldn't bail out CRE, they should let them fail, spend the money to purchase the properties at bargain auction prices, renovate them, and rent them out at cost. Ideally the government should provide housing to anyone, not means tested, one bedroom per person or partnered couple. Because shelter is a human right.
Please look up the term "ethnic cleansing" where it originated and the parties involved. I'll save you a bit of time, term ethnic cleansing was coined during Bosnian Civil War and is used to describe forceful removal of ethnic population through violent means think murder at concentration camp scale. Serbs ethnically cleansed Bosnians during Bosnian War. To save you even more time.

I don't need Wikipedia to tell me anything about Bosnian War, but people here need sources. You coming in and saying Wikipedia is not a reliable source without citing anything makes you uninformed at best.
I always mention in my GDPR requests/complaints that I would kindly like to get a response within a month, in line with Art. 12 GDPR. Not because it's a "karen legalese" but to let the company know that I am exercising a specific right, not just asking for something random out of the blue.

Interactions with management and senior engineers are 1000% more frequent in person. Both because passive interactions are more common, and because people in person simply take more of an interest.

> Remote management doesn't abscond them of that responsibility.

No, of course not. But it does (1) make them care less about it, (2) let them get away with doing much less of it, and (3) make it much harder for them to do.
It is good to add to the discussion other metrics around the world, like in Argentina poverty is above 40% [1]. To be considered below the poverty line in Argentina a family of four should receive less than USD ~56 per month while an individual (not a family) is receiving less than USD ~41 per month.

Pedantically, Google didn't have SREs as the beginning. I asked a very early SRE, Lucas, (https://www.nytimes.com/2002/11/28/technology/postcards-from... and https://hackernoon.com/this-is-going-to-be-huge-google-found...), and he said that in the early days, outages would be really distracting to "the devs like Jeff and Sanjay" and he and a few others ended up forming SRE to handle site reliability more formally during the early days of growth, when Google got a reputation for being fast and scalable and nearly always up.

Lucas helped make one of my favorite Google Historical Artefacts, a crayon chart of search volume. They had to continuously rescale the graph in powers of ten due to exponential growth.

I miss pre-IPO Google and the Internet of that time.
The US isn't pretending to be blind. The US has clearly picked a side, and it isn't the side of opposition to genocide.
This take is both glib and ageist. Hofstadter isn't writing this because he's old. It's because he backed the wrong horse.

Hofstadter was a brilliant and up-and-coming AI researcher in his 20s, wrote an amazing book, started the Fluid Analogies Research Group, and was going to create the next generation of AI based on the power of analogies.

Then for decades -- nothing. His work on analogy was completely overtaken by deep learning. Recently there was an article on his partial recanting of the whole idea of analogy as the core of cognition, something which has been foundational to his research.

Wordplay and translation always figured prominently in both his popular writing and his research as examples for the power of analogy. He has a whole book on translation, for example.

So it's hardly surprising that when the very "stupid" approach of backprop on a neural net can work with analogy better than any system he's ever created that he might focus on the negatives. His entire research project has been usurped.
for a whole $250? that's a drop in the bucket for anything GA related.
I hate to invoke the tired "plotters and pantsers" dichotomy, but this does seem like one of those things that comes down to whether you set out to write with some kind of scaffold in mind (or on paper) or whether you're more inclined to let the blank page take you wherever it takes you.

I'm definitely in the former camp, and have the same line-by-line editing habits that you describe, both in my professional and personal writing. And like you, end up throwing away very little, because anything I included the first time around was included deliberately.

OTOH it stresses me out a little imagining what it's like to write more spontaneously, without even a vague sense of where you're headed—what happens when you hit a dead end and need to backtrack? Do you just throw out hours and hours of work and try again?
oddly, there are very few job positions to work in things related to programming languages.

I believe currently most 'kills' of small drones are because of EW ('electronic warfare' i.e. jamming and spoofing, both for the control link and for GPS navigation), which causes them to crash or land in enemy-controlled location.
I really enjoyed being about 8 years old and learning SCSI usage through brute force. Figuring out I could plug both the 44MB cartridge drive and 500MB HDD simultaneously. But you’ve got to change the numbers on the back with a pokey bit and don’t forget a SCSI terminator!

There was something magical about just getting to muck with things endlessly until they worked. I miss having that seemingly infinite patience and free time.
Buying gift cards with stolen credit cards is like fraud/money laundering 101. The amount is not really a differentiator either because a lot of carders will run smaller test transactions to see if the card is still active.
Yeah I think this is the interesting question. My (naive, uninformed) interpretation is that Oxide is betting that there is some area in the overlap of the venn diagram between "people who have reasons not to run their businesses on the public clouds" and "people who are not suits but technologists and care about the user experience of setting up and maintaining their infrastructure because they want to do it themselves / without hiring lots of people and service contracts".

I'm not sure how big that space is, or whether it is likely to grow or shrink over time, but I'm intrigued by the proposition they're testing here!
Nope, not something I've encountered

The mining must continue. Mined blocks allow transactions to occur. Without mining there is no transactions either.

In theory, instead of getting paid through newly minted bitcoin, the miners get paid through transaction fees instead. The cost of mining doesn't always rise though, it adjusts based on the number of miners competing for the prize. If you work harder than everyone else, you get paid more. So usually this cost rises. But if it stops being profitable and lots of people stop mining, the cost of mining will decrease.

These questions are answered in the FAQ now:

> - Is this a Webkit vulnerability or a Safari vulnerability?

Safari.

"...iLeakage exploits idiosyncrasies in Safari's JavaScript engine..."

> - Does enabling Lockdown mode mitigate this vulnerability, seeing as mobile Safari doesn't expose these dev settings?

Yes.

"Lockdown Mode does mitigate our work by disabling just-in-time (JIT) compilation in Safari, which is a performance feature used by iLeakage to build its attack primitives."
Hey! Co-founder of Brev.dev here and was in that video. We're actually a small team of 3-- makes it easy to maneuver when marketing and product are the same :)

We were building cloud dev environments in 2021, which I now feel strongly do not have PMF. Writing a fun post on that...

We were trying to make coding in the cloud as seamless as coding locally. Users started using that for GPUs ~1 year ago. A solid dev env experience makes sense for AI/ML developers. The infrastructure problems are more complicated & more expensive.

We've since reworked our product and aim to build AWS SageMaker but without the confines of any particular cloud. We're starting by sourcing cheap GPUs & having 1st class notebook experience for fine-tuning and training. Inference coming soon!
that sucks man i know your pain. i hate having to jump though hoops just to do transactions online. i understand the things they do is to prevent fraud but treating everybody as a potential criminal is mildly disrespectful
They are the only castle left standing, for all practical purposes Firefox no longer matters, given its market share and Mozzilla's agenda making the world a better place or whatever they are doing now.
That post has nothing to do with the connector design. It supported high-speed transfer much before USB3 came around, and its design was better in many ways - slimmer, more secure attachment, connectors cannot get bent… USB-C is good enough but not better.

Wasn't the scale of QE as proportion of GDP significantly larger in the Eurozone in the 2010s?

Even now the total value of assets held by the ECB is only a bit lower than the Fed ($7.44 trillion vs 7.9). The situation before the pandemic was similar, the ECB even had more assets than the Fed throughout 2019.
This is great, but what is a possible use-case of these massive classifier models? I'm guessing they won't be running at the edge, which precludes them from real-time applications like self-driving cars, smartphones, or military. So then what? Facial recognition for police/governments or targeted advertisement based on your Instagram/Google photos? I'm genuinely curious.
Generally there was a printer port and a modem part, but only the printer one could do LocalTalk. Otherwise, they were both RS432 serial.

Which was annoyingly similar in name and connector to the ADB port for the keyboard and mice.
