Is that true now? It certainly wasn't when I worked there.

> Chrome is part of the android org.

This only happened in the last month.

> I'm basically not counting YouTube ...

Youtube revenue was 20% of search's revenue in Q4 [1] and it's of strategic importance on many levels, including to search directly.

> ... Cloud ...

Cloud is of strategic importance too. Why? Because it helps keep data center costs down. Why? Because Cloud increases the demand for RAM, CPUs, hard drives and flash storage. This allows Google to demand lower prices for all of these things from suppliers.

> ... Waymo

This one is fair. It's a vestige of GoogleX AFAIK. I'm kinda surprised it still exists in the same company that de-prioritized Google Fiber, which realy is core to Google's business.

> But I do wonder how much of its workability hinges on Basque nationalism rechanneled into something more useful than nationalism usually is.

Basically none, it does not hinge on that.

If anything basque nationalism hurts the proyect more than it helps. Many of the workers in the basque country came "to disrupt" basque nationalism. So many of the old workforce in Mondragon is not basque born.

there was a civil war in spain, most of the industrial capacity was destroyed in the country but not in the basque country. There was a nationalist movement there, so the far right dictatorship thought they had a great strategy. Move people from poor spain to the basque country, you utilise the little industry that remains and you take over the nationalism with people who feel spanish.

The only bit of Basque "nationalism" that helped mondragon was that many of its competitors were kicked out. In the 70s and 80s a ton of american companies came to Spain, the far right dictator hiding his axis friends allied with america in exchange for some military bases and allowed american expansion in Spain. Basque country having some of the largest industrial network was a prime candidate for their location. Then the 80s and 90s had a ton of terrorism which scared american companies which left industrial giants like Mondragon without competition.

So basque nationalism played little part in its success, its more like the American boom of the 1950s, everyone else had a detroyed industry and they didnt so there was a boom. Basque country had the same thing but instead of building coca cola and taking over south american countries to sell cheap bananas they opened cooperatives. There is little reason other than chance that Sillicon Valley is not like that, early companies like IBM could have set up as coopearatives and their early advanatge would not have been disrupted in the sleightest.
Capital is magic numbers in a database. You're asking for folks to farm coins like an MMORPG vs simply changing labor laws and regulations, or leveraging existing laws.
It seems like the JaiTan incident was either the first time a playbook of this nature was caught, or a new proving out of the method by a less experienced set of operators. This can happen when an attack like this is successful enough times by a high skilled adversary that it becomes essentially a theoretically mapped attack path for lesser skilled operator teams to attempt to create a working playbook for.

Look for many more of these attacks to come as the playbooks are refined and less skilled operators are able to pull off these sorts of attacks better. Think of how the ransomware industry evolved from viruses to botnets to the wannacry event. That vertical stack of both attack chain knowledge and post attack operational capability combined put most contenders out of the game until the post exploit portion of the attack was turned into an affiliate system.

I envision a future where it's easier than ever for even just a burned out software developer to simply use a service that creates a one time use highly obfuscated performance and memory safety tested back door based on public key encryption exactly like the JaiTan proof of concept showed.

The end result will need to be heavy focus on reproducible testing of signed source code, perhaps with even more cryptographic insurances than git currently provides. I imagine my entire workflow as being cryptographicly signed from commit to runner state changes to unit testing and fuzzing, with some form of multi factor signing system like multisig.

The future is bleak but it's not like we can't do things about it and be proactive.
Infants are not sarcastic. Even older children struggle with it.

So, in reality, sarcasm is actually a very grown-up thing to engage in. That doesn't necessarily mean one should.
There are new 60ghz sensors available that can do this (they can see through walls so you could have the sensor completely enclosed (maybe even potted in epoxy?!)). Sparkfun/Acconeer A121/XM125 is what I'm using,although not in this context, it's for my robot.
I believe part of the argument is that it can lead to over policing. I’m in Cleveland where it’s been controversial because most of the devices have been deployed to predominantly black neighborhoods. So they get the most detections because that’s where the most sensors are because they were guided by police data on where the most gun violence historically has been located. Which leads to more police presence, more shakedowns, harassment of people in those neighborhoods. It can lead to a bad reinforcement loop.
My neighbor just had a police officer move into his spare bedroom full time. I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want the police to have another tool to reduce shootings, which this clearly does. It's not like the cop has a personality, with biases and subjective opinions which form his or her worldview and consequent behavior.
I second this: Dave Plumber / Dave's Garage, love his content.
I see what you mean here. I tend to agree that Gists seems relatively feature-complete (at least for my basic use case; I can’t speak for others).

For my part, I’m reacting to Gists’ place in the overall GitHub UX. Maybe it’s just me, but it feels heavily implied that Gists aren’t part of the golden path.
That sounds like nonsense. The idea that a stable API provides no value is contrary to all the evidence.

Look at graphics APIs like DirectX and look at what happened when jQuery was released for more evidence that having a stable API that covers disparate collections of hardware (or browser) APIs, provides vast amount of value.

The idea that an operating system providing a stable API over different computers is something that doesn't provide value is hogwash.

I also used Zoho for mail, it was pretty nice and they had quite robust support once I got an issue. I left them only because I already pay for iCloud+ and comes with custom domain support, so I realized I didn't need to pay for another service.

The Web UI of the mail and the mobile app was also quite good.
Some people are more interested in communicating clearly and being understood than getting clicks.
I have, first you have to click "yes" on a modal dialog that blocks screen completely when you start the app, then you have to check checkbox "yes, I agree" and then click ok, then you have to change some hidden settings, then this settings "accidentally" reverts on each update... until they remove it completely. Microsoft, Google, Apple wants more and more control as usual.

I agree with you, although his first point is a subset of this, I think.

In reality, it's something like "they don't understand the problem space", which includes not just not understanding the problem itself, but also understanding the history, context, and realistic daily details of the problem, and the real or imagined blocks that are created by personal philosophy, mindset, and psychology, plus the impact of relationships, biases, etc...
What point is there pretending that the giant debate about minimum wage doesn't exist? These points have been argued to death. It is not like everybody hasn't thought of "with a minimum wage people whose labor is worth <15$/hr won't be employed", and that's a first-order "naive" observation that is only useful when considered alongside all the other arguments that correct it.

If a person working can't afford basic expenses they're slightly better off than not working, locally, but at a policy level neither outcome is acceptable---and part of the solution is to ensure that there is a floor because, surprise, employers will pay powerless people less if they are allowed to do so. It is a tradeoff between "making some jobs uneconomical" versus "putting a floor on people's ability to be exploited", and the obvious next step of logic is to look for, given that that floor is in place, what other parts of the economy will transform around it? Well: some jobs are removed (bad maybe) but other jobs will pay more than they would (good maybe), plus some prices for things will go up (bad) but they go up in a way that allows people to make non-exploitative wages (good), which means that the much richer and greater-agency employers may have to share more profits with labor (good) which means that some business ventures might not be profitable anymore (maybe bad) but then they'll have to innovate to find more profitable ones (good)...

etc.

Pretending like there is one argument and ignoring the rest of the picture is ignorant and a waste of everyone's time.
I wonder if it's more engagement due to impressions or people actually click on dumb looking faces more often.

This regulation can only be done through a clueless government body listening to sneaky AI leaders. Let's make it new healthcare? Premature regulation is the last thing you want.

For a bigger pic, it's time for the civilization to realize that speech itself is dangerous and to build something that isn't prone to "someone with <n>M subs said something and it began" that much. Without such transformation, it will get stuck in this era of bs forever. "Safety" is the rug. It hides the wires while the explosives remain armed. You can only three-monkey it for so long.
Why Eigen is not run in parallel mode w/ Open-MP?

Eigen handle most (if not all, I just skimmed the tables) tasks in parallel [0]. Plus, it has hand-tuned SIMD code inside, so it needs "-march=native -mtune=native -O3" to make it "full send".

Some solvers' speed change more than 3x with "-O3", to begin with.

This is the Eigen benchmark file [1].

I know the iDatalink Maestro works with some European and US cars also. I don't know that there is any kind of standard. I suspect the unit has reversed engineered the canbus messages for the different manufacturers. Before installing the unit you have to program it via usb. They provide software for Windows and Mac. You select your vehicle, wiring harness model and head unit model and it programs it appropriately. It also downloads pdfs with instructions for installation including wiring harness connections. For my Mazda no splicing of any of the factory wiring was necessary. For the Subaru I had to splice a single wire for the Starlink (similar to Onstar and not SpaceX Starlink related) unit.

3rd party headhunts from various manufacturers have a port for the iDatalink unit which allows it to integrate with the head unit. Both of mine are Kenwood but I know a few others have support. There are also alternatives to the iDatalink Maestro it is just what I have used.
1. The federal government is not noted for running passenger traffic well.

2. We don't want 40% more trucks on the roads, so we need the system to still be able to carry large amounts of freight. The federal government is also not known for doing that well, still less for balancing that with #1.

3. In this country, we don't just get to nationalize things. We have to pay for them. Given the pathetic rate at which Amtrak is funded, do you really think that Congress is going to spring for the kind of money to buy all the freight railroads?

4. Speaking of Congress, it's going to take continual funding to pay for keeping the system maintained. Do you want the annual maintenance budget for this (including the freight portion) to be at the annual whims of Congress?

All around, this is a terrible idea.

You're right! Thanks for correcting me. I indeed saw that video that was apparently incorrectly attributed to Hamas, when in fact it was Isis.

Show HN: FlyCI Wingman an AI agent that automatically fixes your failed builds
Hi, I'm the co-founder of FlyCI. After conducting dozens of customer interviews, we identified a major pain point in developers' workflows: CI builds tend to fail about 50% of the time. These failures, often minor, accumulate over time and divert focus.

Like every engineer faced with a challenge, we developed a solution — an autonomous AI agent that fixes CI failures for you. We call this agent "Wingman." We hope that you like this demo.

We're looking to get more community feedback here and we have a limited open beta program for anyone who wants to try the agent. It's in the early stages, so we hope to build something that works for a small number of people.

And there is plenty of bad philosophy out there. At a first approximation, avoid anything to do with the continental side of the analytical/continental divide. I say this as someone with a BA in philosophy from an analytic institution (Chicago) and an MA from continental (New School).

Another reason engineers should study philosophy is that philosophy departments take logic seriously. Talking with CS majors, their logic background is a few weeks in a discrete math class. I had two quarters, covering Godel's proof of the soundness and consistency of first-order logic (so 20 weeks total). If I had the appetite, I could have taken another two, for the incompleteness theorem, and modal logic.

If you are looking for a place to start, I recommend Grayling's Philosophy 1. It's an edited collection of introductory essays written to be understandable by beginners, but deep enough for philosophers in other subdisciplines. The best way to read it is to skim through the essays until you find one that is interesting to you (they don't much depend on each other) and then read that one carefully, and if it still holds your interest, chase down the references. Think of it as building a heuristic for A* search. Philosophy only gets good once you dig deep into a subject, and so you really need to find something in it that speaks to you.

Specifically for engineers, Philosophy 2 has an essay in it titled Philosophy of Psychology, which covers logic gates and Turing. Philosophy 1 is not a hard requirement for Philosophy 2, though I recommend at least skimming the Philosophy of Mind essay in 1.
Depends on your threat profile and budget. Specifically if you're worried about your door opening, you can use a magnet and Hall effect sensor(or reed switch). Another thing you could do is PIR, but the cool kids are playing with 60GHz pulsed radar, which does presence pretty well (I've recently tested that the XM125 radar I just got can pick up my breathing and detects presence from the other side of 2x pieces of 3/4in sheetrock).

This falls under "competitive intelligence" which ISN'T treated as corporate espionage legally, because you are extrapolating data from sources.

1: Tesla can use their own cars. They dont't need to base the service on the cars owned by individuals.

2: If they want to rent cars from individual owners, they can make the conditions as comfortable as needed. Monitoring and insurance for example would most likely handled by Tesla and not be paid by the individual owner. The owner would just get a fee for every hour Tesla uses their car.

Did they consent to having their letters distributed to the entire public? Because this sounds a hell of a lot like prying into personal affairs I have no business with. (No, I did not follow the link.)

And before anyone says, "But History!" I think there ought to be a principle operating here akin to the old security example of the difference between a database police can go make a request of, and ubiquitous robots with a data connections that instantly scan every plate in the state and generate a real-time map of where every car is, and who owns it. I don't see anything wrong with (presumably) old letters being stored in an archive somewhere, where those with a interest and motivation can trade some of their time for access. But throwing them out there for everyone on Earth (unless the authors gave their consent for that in advance) does not feel right.
