Talking about it would have painted a huge target on his back for retribution from the Iranian government. It would have also put a target on his wife's back, as well as all of her family that is presumably still in Iran. Killing him also would make it much harder to recruit assets in the future, if it became common knowledge that you will be offed after your mission is complete.

It seems much more likely that he actually did die in a random motorcycle accident (not uncommon), or he was entirely uninvolved and a dead man was chosen to pin blame on in order to hide the real method(or, to make Iranians stop trusting foreign contractors, making them do everything in-house with higher costs and worse quality).

Thanks, this looks good
Pensions have been on the decline
The hefty fee is only $2350, about two years of your F-35 payments.

The exit tax is just your unpaid taxes and only applies to high net worth individuals (over $2 million) or other special circumstances. If you already paid taxes on income, you won't be double taxed. It's basically the pro-rated "final tax bill" because you are leaving in the middle of the tax year.
When inheritance taxes become punitive. So, on the 2nd of never, two thousand and not gonna happen.

Wow I am not looking forward to that in my future interviews. At least showing atomic little micro commits should probably give potential employers a view into your thought process?

Although what am I saying, my current employer keeps pushing us to use AI tooling in our workflows, so I wonder how many employers will really care by then.

I personally don't like using AI - I feel like it takes the fun out of work, and I have ethical issues with it. But I have many co-workers who do not feel this way.
I moved to a house with a solar system in October. I now make a point to run the dishwasher and dryer during day time hours. And avoid using the dryer on cloudy days.

It doesn't really matter when I run these appliances. Between fixed rate electricity and net metering, the cost will be the same even if they run at night. But I get weird satisfaction knowing that the sun is providing the power.
Google already collaborates with iFixit for Pixel parts, so they're likely already following these laws.

Of course it's easy for Google have an opinion when they barely exist in the smartphone market.
That quote is talking about epoll-using software (Go, nginx and 'most programming languages', including Rust), not polling-based APIs. You should instead quote:

> without BSD’s kqueue (which preceded epoll by two years), we’d really be in trouble because the only alternatives were proprietary (/dev/poll in Solaris 8 and I/O Completion Ports in Windows NT 3.5).

I interpret it to combine the 2 ideas:

No matter who is in charge, the world is going to be messed up in various ways.

Upsetting the economic pyramid will naturally form a new pyramid, with concentrations of wealth at the top. Pereto + Solow–Swan...eg In communist(ish) countries, the concentration incidentally ends up in the hands of the highest political positions and a few private individuals.
I know few people that haven't used ChatGPT (or similar LLM), both technical and construction -types. Even fewer follow-up with "it is useless" (except initial users), unless their ego is clearly the motivation (e.g. lawyers, accountants, top-brass). i aM SO teH sMArTeST

#A.I'mReplaceable

As for AI in construction: I trained IBEW in commercial spaces, and have seen video footage of basic device layout being directed by a mobile bot (which follows blueprints and marks walls accordingly). I think oldwork construction is much safer than newwork, as far as AI-directed replacements are concerned.
The bad thing is that you'll likely have to spend a few thousand to get them into decent shape. It sounds like the cheaper ones are pretty rough.
There is a spectre haunting SPA frameworks…

It’s a shame htmx wasn’t invented 10 years ago, but it makes sense that it’s bursting onto the scene now as a reaction to end-stage SPA mania.

If htmx-like functionality gets rolled into browsers with native optimizations (i.e. faster than the Virtual DOMs and custom JS runtimes of SPA frameworks, not to mention the no-build-step benefits we’re already seeing with htmx), then it hopefully won’t be just htmx that will get rendered obsolete; Angular, Ember, React, Svelte, Vue, etc. need to go even more urgently.

Pardon my enthusiasm, I really am looking forward to an HTML Renaissance.

The article is mistaken, I don't know if it was a typo or misunderstanding. He actually died two *years* after this event, and given how insane driving in the UAE is that doesn't seem hard to believe. Two years is a long time to leave a loose end dangling that you intend to disappear after all.

People don't want to be told the world is a meritocracy when it's roulette (born to the right people in the right place), but so much of the system operates under the meritocracy/exceptionalism belief system (American dream, effort and skill will lead to success, anyone can succeed), and if people see it for what it is, lots of people are not a fan of the changes that will occur. "They live" [1] for a suboptimal economic arrangement. "You aren't successful? Have you tried working harder? Being smarter? Knowing the right people? Getting a better job?" [2] [3]

Wealthy people want to stay wealthy, powerful people don't want to give up power. Everything else is a struggle over the collective spreadsheet. "Should life be more fair? If so, what does that look like?" is what keeps all of this in perpetual tension.

In general, intelligence agencies don’t tend to kill their assets to keep them quiet, because that “benefit” is massively outweighed by the negative effect when trying to recruit the next 1000 assets over the next few years - pragmatism and self-interest, not morality. So its much more likely Iran did it - if a foreign engineer who worked at the attacked site suddenly decides to leave the country, it doesn't take 2 weeks to identify him as a suspect, more like 2 seconds. And if they kill him, it at least sends the message to other potential assets who might work against the interests of Iran. I’m sure Iran would have preferred to capture and question him to try unravel the rest of the network, but they’d settle for killing him I think?
I mean, I certainly think me and my 23 years of experience is better than random body shop grads. I just have zero interest in relocating or playing the startup game.
It's still better than billing to the hospital and the hospital billing to the patient, piling up taxes and comissions. The patient is also getting more cost transparency instead of a bundled bill one can never make sense of.
nah. it's available in m2 pcie and usb.

plain old crappy software (driver) which you are not supposed to have access (despite all the filling being likely based on gpl)
It handles 150k messages in a folder without a sweat for me. Do you have more?
Thanks for the feedback! Delighted to hear it's working well for you. Currently, HoneyDo supports one list to keep the initial release simple, but multiple lists are on the roadmap.
> Then you pick the low-hanging fruit and start trying to find a solution to power heat pumps in the winter at night and it's... not as easy.

But it's also not impossible, especially as heat pump efficiency keeps marching up in colder conditions and stationary battery prices keep going down with new chemistries that trade off energy density for cost.

Heck, if batteries are still too expensive, we could even use residential hydrogen fuel cells in that situation, which could easily power a heat pump.
Mathematics has probably already classified all knots that are human tieable. So from there you could iterate these knots in different physical positions, and perform different tests on them. The topological space has been investigated, now you need to decide between a teacup and a doughnut. This would be a mechanical engineering question, not a math question. Maybe look elsewhere?
Make sure the RO system you have is not using a plastic membrane.
I worked at such a place right out of college. Always claiming we were family and that they would take care of their workers. Then covid happened, they lost some money, and laid off 25% of their employees, including people who had been there 10+ years. Now I work at a big company and make 3x as much with similar workloads. Glad I learned early on that no company is actually a family and will put your needs above the needs of the company!
That’s ok. A bastion of nostalgia that seemingly hadn’t been updated in literal decades, or at least the top submissions hadn’t. I was using the internet in the 90s when Bash.org was created, and appreciated the humor a lot, and laughed very hard many times at the same jokes for years.

However, (very unpopular opinion) after decades of people repeating the exact same jokes from Bash.org, the formerly nostalgia inducing jokes started grating on me a lot. The password *** hunter2 joke has made me cringe at its extreme overuse for at least ten years, or the computer responding to ping but being physically unfindable. If they weren’t going to do anything with the site, it would have been better to kill it in 2010 with fond memories rather than let the jokes be beaten like a dead horse for 20 years.
not a big fan of irc to be honest
The whole influx of Chinese cars is greatly exaggerated. Car is not a phone, so you can't just make it and have user to throw it away when it breaks. User will want support (service, diagnostics, parts) so you need service network and train people in that service network. You need to have aftermarket parts distribution and storge. This all will cost money, so price for Chinese cars will go up and level up with European cars and Asian brands already established in Europe.

Or you can ignore all of that and have people driving cars 10k EUR cheaper than competitors, but when they will experience minor breakage or fender bender, their cheaper (but still expensive) car will become a 2-3 tones brick on the side of a road. Not good for PR and future of your brand.
It's a dam shame
It is very easy to answer (and impossible to actually do). Two things:

1. Progressive taxation scale. Not the fake system we have in every developed country, but the real progressive system, which doesn't end at the minuscule sum of 100-200k, but is proportional until the infinity, certainly into the billions.

2. "Ban" offshores and tax heavens.

If this has happened somehow magically a vast majority of the financial issues would go away immediately.
> ingress/egress isn’t probably too problematic

It's problematic to me. I run a system partly on GCP and partly on another provider. I'd like to move some of the stuff that's on the other provider over to GCP VMs, but I am prevented from doing so solely by the GCP egress fees.

My general complaint is that high egress fees prevent users from developing hybrid cloud solutions which mix components from different cloud vendors. Instead, you are forced to choose a platform, and then you're locked into it. That seems textbook anti-competitive. We shouldn't be grateful for the opportunity to switch vendors, we should be angry that "choosing a single cloud vendor" is a thing at all.
Exactly what I thought.

It's much easier for a country to retire an engineer with a fat paycheck than to create an incredible amount of distrust killing him.

An assassination only makes sense if somehow he threatened to tell everything to the iranian goverment.
The exec prosecutors believe masterminded the campaign was sentenced to 5 years in prison, and another with 2.
I would love a write up on design philosiphy. I'm currently learning Godot coming from web dev, and finding the distributed business logic impossible to organize. I just don't know who, what, or where business logic should be.

My urge is to lift logic up to the parent of any group of interactions, and let nodes just be renderers. But I understand that is absolutely not the design philosiphy of Godot, and probably won't scale.

Microsoft’s biggest lines of business support knowledge work (Windows, email, Office, MS365, etc) and AI is looking it will provide a nice productivity bump to knowledge workers.

Even just building AI into existing products could help justify price increases, offset on the customer side by higher productivity.

In plain English: AI means companies will need fewer knowledge workers per unit revenue and MS will have a strong claim on some of those additional profits if they are supplying the AI (even if they are reselling OpenAI).
I didn't compare Row v Wade to prohibition.

I brought up Roe v Wade as an example of the courts changing their mind, completely unrelated to Row v Wade.

You must have made that association.
Trump runs on a cult of personality, not real policy. If he had won, he'd either use his cult of personality to ensure the poison pills don't happen or he spin the poison pills as victories because they harm tech companies. Remember, a voter upset with him once said on him "he's not hurting the people he needs to be". If the economy is harmed because of Trump admin's poison pills and Trump isn't president, that's Biden's fault because he's an incompetent leader look how bad the economy is doing under him, but if Trump is president and the economy is harmed from those same poison pills, Trump is just hurting those fat-cats who need to get taken down a peg anyways.
Goodwill does normally show up on balance sheets

"The value of a company’s name, brand reputation, loyal customer base, solid customer service, good employee relations, and proprietary technology represent aspects of goodwill. This value is why one company may pay a premium for another."

I like the idea of combining an AI advisor that could provide an invaluable service. Just pre-ordered the AI Pin. What makes Sama AI different from other AI-powered wearables?
If China stops selling us solar panels, the ones we already have will keep producing power and we'll be just fine.

I feel like you're making an analogy here to 1973 when Saudi Arabia cut off the supply of oil or 2022 when Russia cut off the supply of fossil gas, but the analogy doesn't work.
I agree. I see all my friends in their early 20s dealing with this issue. It doesn’t make it any better when exposed to modern media. They’ve become delusional.
You are arguing semantics, and I’m taking the bait. You can do the same with genocide (it is what the Ottomans did to the Armenians) or terrorism (it is what the Irish republicans did in England). But just like genocide, terrorism and apartheid the meaning has broadened outside of the initial conception and prototypical example.

In every explanation and definition of carpet bombing I find online the focus is on the destruction, not the method. Yes, historical examples of carpet bombing has used unguided bombs, and the targets have been indiscriminate. However what is important is the damage and the time period. That is, the damage has to be massive, involve every part of a large area, and it has to happen progressively (as opposed to all at once; this excludes the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima). The bombing of Gaza checks every one of this criteria.

What doesn’t matter is the bureaucratic process before a target is selected, whether the bomb is guided. If a military specifically targets over half of all residential building, many historic and cultural sites, civilian infrastructure, etc. runs this through lawyers, who approve the bombing, then uses precession guided bombs to destroy these targets, and does so over every area, than that is carpet bombing.

And just to hammer the point home. Hamas still to this day retains the ability to fire rockets over to Israel, despite this vast damage of civilian area. However Israel is picking their target, if they indeed intend on destroying military targets, than they are certainly doing a lousy job.
Ignorant question: Does much actually make it out of MS Research? I've seen lots of interesting retrospectives on stuff that either failed or just has never come out of the lab (Singularity/Midori, accessibility demos showing phones reading restaurant menus to the blind, their tablet pre-ipad, etc.) but I don't think I know of anything they made that really grew up off the top of my head.

I didn't want to say this without doing a little bit of homework so I checked their Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Research) which doesn't list any accomplishments, just claims they have a lot of patents, and their main site has a publication index (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publications/?) but publication is not a good metric for ever seeing use.
I think it was leaked that it is 20B now.
It's great to know it's saving the day!
Windows 7 was a beautiful operating system. It completely redeemed the absolute "horror that was Vista" for a lot of people.
Looking to the US to be on the cutting edge of the energy transition is like looking to the US to be on the cutting edge of steam engine development during the early Industrial Revolution. In a global sense, prices are going to change rapidly and huge amounts of industry will adapt to intermittent sources. The US will catch up a decade later, adopting whatever ideas worked overseas.
Quite an interesting fact. I'm sure some people see this as a bad thing.

The choice of 10% is extremely peculiar.

Top 1%:
40% to 54% -> +14%

Top 10%:
77% to 93% -> +16%

Top 10% minus the top 1%:
37% to 39% -> +2%

Essentially this was all the top 1% and the rest of the 10%ers barely budged in ownership percent. I'd be curious to see the results for top 0.1% and 0.01% as well.

[edit] Found the source numbers:

50-90%

90-99%
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WFRBSN09145

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WFRBS99T999258

top 0.1%
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WFRBSTP1285

Bottom 50% barely registers, hovering below 1%
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/WFRBSB50199

It looks like the top 0.1% barely nudged in the past two decades as well. I would guess that the top 0.1% is probably hard to account for given all the ways the wealthiest can distribute their wealth to make it opaque and hard to granularly track. Those numbers could reflect changes in choices of financial vehicles for the wealthiest households.
I find Scala to be the most readable, but perhaps that's only because it's the one I learned typing and type level programming with.

Rust, by comparison, is much less readable to me, with very confusing ordering and operators. Although I'm sure someone can explain why it is superior to Scala in one way or another.
Are there any figures available anywhere as to how many people actively-passively maintain a personal-private archive?

The company used the developer that year and made the profit that year. It doesn't make sense to me why they would they have to expense it over 5 years.
> In fact, all the four major energy loads in a house - Heating/Cooling, Water heating, EV Charging, House Battery - are extremely flexible.

The dominant energy load in existing houses is heating. EV charging is 100% new generation capacity and doesn't take any of the existing load off the power grid. House Battery isn't a load, it's the expensive thing you suffer when the actual loads are inflexible.

Heating is slightly flexible, you can lower your thermostat at night, but it's also colder at night. And most existing heating is fossil fuels. Converting that to electricity is going to require more electricity consumption at night than we have now.
