ArriveCan report finds 'glaring disregard' for basic management practices
If that were seriously attempted, China and Russia would likely seize the opportunity to set up their own competing DNS root zone, completely beyond American control, and dozens of countries around the world would sign up for it. The global DNS root might suddenly splinter into two.

What you said is factually true.

But many tech companies hired aggressively when interest rates were super low.

Now that rates are higher than in these last 5 years it does makes sense they want to cut costs, and layoffs are one way to do that. It reflects well on EBITDA.

You know, even if they say it's because of AI you can't ignore this change in the last 10 years despite interest rates still being lower than they were your entire life.

It was a significant change in the landscape and especially how investments were made in tech companies.

I hope this helped you understand the previous comment.
Amen on radio buttons. It's been really challenging to get UX people in my companies to use these for some reason.
> In my country the tradition is to gift things for the couple to start their own home together (e.g. useful household goods) with value roughly in line with the cost of inviting you.

If couples need things they set up a registry for any items they want. If there is no registry, bring cash. :)

The general expectation is either you'll buy a gift or give cash (to at least cover the rough cost of you attending).
Definitely support the "rolling thunder" approach to weddings vs "big bang" - our wedding years ago was in 3 different locations with 3 different groups (our kids are very multi-ethnic/national) over the course of a year and it would have been impossible to merge the 3 groups or expectations (we joked about "extending the tour" to other locations/groups but life intervened).

This is fine.

Another neat thing about the "bus stop" was that the phone booth gave you no way to dial. There was no number pad. You'd pick it up, and the call would go straight to the operator, because neither she nor you actually knew what was going on. That is, the phone was a very old one, built for a system that relied on operators to "put you through". I remember calling the school to tell them I had arrived, and having to wait for the operator to find the right instructions in the manual to do that. Even then, there were only a few of those phones left in the US.
Even above and beyond that. Worked for a company where the owner had admirably bootstrapped himself from working in a copier room at a law firm to owning a large copy/print/scan business that handled law firms in two cities and was a millionaire mid-late 20s.

Would give me my check (after repeatedly asking, though never "late"), and usually say something like "this will cash today, but if you can wait til Monday or Tuesday, I'd prefer that".

Hell no. I went downstairs within minutes every time and put that straight in the bank, and I did it over the teller (we banked with the same bank, so it was processed immediately).

Usually equity compensation is in lieu of base salary, so the base salary is often below median for comparable work at a comparable company that doesn’t offer equity. For instance Amazon is famous for offering absurdly low base salaries relative to their talent competitors. Wall Street is famous for this too. However bonus based compensation is outsized, often to account for the risk.

The problem comes with laying people off in December prior to bonuses. You’ve taken a year of work under the presence of a bonus compensation and then yanked the rug out after squeezing every last ounce of work from a year. They could of course just not pay a bonus, but often internal compensation guidance requires proving a fireable performance problem while layoffs just require basic reporting to labor departments.

Calling this theft is extreme, but it’s definitely ripping employees off and treating them badly. The imprudence mismatch is that the employee is much less able to afford the shenanigans than the employer benefits, and a year of an employees career is a much larger share of total lifetime earnings than the corporations benefit as a percentage of its total lifetime revenues (or compensation expenses as the case may be). This makes it wrong, but not illegal.

SYCL is the quasi-successor to OpenCL, built on the same flavor of SPIR-V. Various efforts are trying to run it on top of Vulkan Compute (which tends to be broadly support by modern GPU's) but it's non-trivial because the technologies are independently developed and there are some incompatibilities.
I’m convinced most use of these is actually testing for:

1) bright enough to answer to achieve just about any desired outcome (usually not a high bar),

2) socially/politically aware enough to realize which outcomes will be good, and which will be bad; and,

3) agreeable/compliant enough to go ahead and game the quiz to achieve a good outcome without raising a fuss.
And in academia. The University of Texas at Austin still owes me $14K in unpaid wages from 2017 where I was never paid for the classes I taught as a grad student. Unfortunately Texas has pathetically weak worker protections and the length of time you have to complain about wage theft is shorter than the length of time it takes the university to set up some payments, so by the time you realize you're not getting paid it's already too late to do anything about it.

OK, sorry boss.
I do not think calling out specific books would be remotely good idea in many different levels. There are ao many examples, it makes no sense to enumerate any. Virtually every explanation I know starts with that myth.
I find those arguments unpersuasive.

Some things im curious about with this concept.

1) why not mount the gyro horizontally?
2) would the addition of a very large (say 10ft diameter) primary load bearing wheels (like a bicycle) assist with stability at speed
3) video mentions a need for gyros in each car, I wonder if such a system could only require a complicated active control system in the front (and maybe rear) car, and the rest could have simpler 'passive' gyro arrangements to assist in relative stability to the active controls?
4) could modern control systems materially improve upon this? For example, an all-electric drive for the intermediate gyros off a primary power unit is pretty trivial.
5) why wouldn't they want the flywheels higher up, like mounted over the roof? quicker reaction time and more force per rotation?

Thats all for now.

It depends a bit, I think, on how much drift you accept without considering the project to have changed so much it's not the same thing. But for instance some of the older universities in Europe are pretty much the same institutions working on the same goal (educating people) in the same buildings for many hundreds of years. The details of what the education provided ought to be, the balance between education and research, and the administrative details have changed quite a bit, but I think you can still make a case for this being the same non-religious collective project.
This comment really deserves more attention.
Maybe Sable saw Cloudflare as a juicier target, since the other companies listed are all hardware manufactures and don't operate a large consumer business like Cloudflare (leading to very, very different usage numbers). Or maybe Cloudflare thought that they had a better chance at trial against hardware patents, since they don't make router hardware themselves.

Did you read the article linked? I don't know why you're talking about Eastern Europe.

If some random fuck was voting for my domesticated animals to die, I would reasonably object.

>In 2022, gray wolves attacked domesticated animals hundreds of times across 10 states in the contiguous U.S. including Colorado, according to an Associated Press review of depredation data from state and federal agencies. Attacks killed or injured at least 425 cattle and calves, 313 sheep and lambs, 40 dogs, 10 chickens, five horses, and four goats, according to the data. Other times livestock simply goes missing, such as two calves that Mr. Gittleson said disappeared after wolves had passed through.

> Such losses can be devastating to individual ranchers or pet owners. However, their industry-wide impact is negligible: The number of cattle killed or injured in the documented cases equals 0.002% of herds in the affected states, according to a comparison of depredation data with state livestock inventories.

>“95% of ranchers in Colorado will never have a problem,” said Ed Bangs, a former U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist who led the reintroduction of wolves in the mid-1990s to Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho. “4.5% will have the occasional problem every couple of years maybe, and maybe one or two guys will have a problem like every other year. I don’t think it’s enough to put them out of business.”

>“But if it was my cattle and my business, I’d be pissed,” he added.

> If viewed strictly from a "point a to point b" situation, sure, you may incur costs by increasing the curvature of the line by routing through some village

That's just it: those costs incurred are millions to billions, no matter how strictly you view them. The line running between cities is already a straight-ish line, or as straight as it can be. It's already built to deal with geographic features, etc. Any additional routing or rerouting would cost millions to billions.

Now, imagine someone wants to include in the rail network, a village that's 10-50+ miles off this existing line. You could:

- Turn the straight-ish line into a "T", where at some point along the line, it branches off and veers towards the village. Cost: millions to billions for the land, zoning, approvals, terraforming, track buildout, environment assessments, safety assessments, probably legal issues.

- Connect each city to the village with a new straight-ish line, forming a "V". Cost: millions to billions for the same.

- Build no additions to the existing line between cities. Cost: nothing

If there isn't already a line, then the decision is between a straight-ish line which ignores the village, and a "V" which doesn't, with the latter costing millions to billions more. If the latter is chosen, will those extra millions to billions be paid back with marginal tickets purchased as a result of the change? Probably not.

As for the station, it alone would cost millions. Sure, you or I could build a concrete shelter for little money and no bureaucracy or rules or aesthetics, but that won't work for a government rail station. Examining the cost of recently built train stations should bring us closer to an accurate estimate. Here one[0]: £15,000,000 for a station built where there was infrastructure already (a decades-closed station). With all due respect to the architect, it looks like a pretty bare-bones station made from a bunch of concrete.

Sure it might well be in Cloudflare's self-interest, but it's still good they're doing it this way. If it was very obviously the best thing to do, other companies would do likewise. The fact that Cloudflare's approach appears novel suggests it's not just simple self-interest.

I work in enterprise-type apps. Like you, I was skeptical about JWT’s ‘scalability’ claims. However, it did help make apps scalable within the enterprise. Prior to JWT, we had a proxy server take care of SSO and send some headers describing the user. Our apps would need to talk to AD/LDAP to get other membership information for AuthZ. With JWT, we have these larger tokens that encode users’ roles so we can make AuthZ decisions without the round trip to LDAP.

This also helped with the front-end UX because we could read the token (it wasn’t opaque) and customize the UI based on what roles the user has.
Unfortunately companies have found a loophole: They just say "we couldn't find anyone who is acceptable for the role locally so instead we'll hire overseas for a fraction of the cost, darn"

Almost like the unnecessarily complex hiring processes are built that way on purpose.

Sleep issues can be stress related but aren't always (and aren't in my case, at least at this point). Stress does seem to make everything worse though and I could see it playing a role in my family members developing dementia. I could potentially see sleep issues and stress triggering a process. I was thinking more along the lines of circadian issues since the immune system works differently at night so I could imagine that confusion over if it should be in night mode or day mode could potentially cause serious trouble.

Who said anything about the state?

All of these things are already paid for. Either that continues to happen, or invention just stops happening altogether. Obviously there is profit to be made from new ideas, so there should be plenty of incentive to invest in inventors.

Inventors could also collaborate and unionize. Many already do.

Apple has really nailed that with its sideways slider toggles. You can clearly see where the toggle is currently, what it will change to, and whether the current setting has made some feature active (blue background inside the slider) or inactive (grey background inside the slider).

If they normally sell more than a thousand a month in South Korea, then 'only one car in January' sounds like a supply constraint. As I recall, they had a slow month in Australia for that reason.
> Better to use a wrong one apparently.

I think this is hypercritical. If there is a story about some dolphin, if there is a picture of 'any' dolphin to give context, is that then the "wrong one" and suddenly a ding against the newspapers accuracy worthy of running a correct? Particularly when there is a context line stating "this is just a random dolphin to give you an image of a dolphin."

> Better to use a wrong one apparently.

Humans are very visual creatures - in some ways - yes. Even conceding that the picture is the "wrong" one, which again I think is a hypercritical judgment.
Maybe check out Probabilistic Robotics by Dieter Fox, Sebastian Thrun, and Wolfram Burgard. It has a coherent Bayesian formulation with consistent notation on many Kalman-related topics. Also with the rise of AI/ML, classic control theory ideas are being merged with reinforcement learning.

A market isn't free if prices aren't set by supply and demand operating under the guarantees of free exchange given by states (ie., property rights, and the rest).

A cartel sets prices, and is one of the many ways markets are unfree.

There's a ton of confusion created by libertarian sorts who fail to distinguish between government regulation which sets prices, and regulation necessary for the operation of the market itself. Basically delusional ideologues have denied the latter exists, by just ignoring it.

If a government acts to set prices it makes a market non-free, just as much as if a cartel does so. "Free" cannot plausibly mean that a mafia is fine but a police force isnt.. and the claim that it does is just libertarian propaganda.

Governments which regulate markets so as to prevent cartels are acting to prevent the very sort of price-setting which "free" denotes does not occur
