It took them a decade and a half because Boeing learned the hard way that you have to actually be efficient when you don’t get a cost plus contract. Their entire system was setup to extract as much money from the government as possible, not to deliver product on time.

Late and over a budget is how you maximize profit in cost plus contracts.

An article this long needs a table of contents IMO.
What I appreciate about Scrum and other methodologies is that it can be used as a starting point from which customization and adaptation can grow, rather than starting from practically no documentation or process and building a monster of a system that ends up mostly fitting the existing broken system.
This problem will only grow because there's an increasingly large number of people in Spain unable to rent.

At this very moment the profile of squatters is diverse, but with such large pockets of spaniards staying just above of the poverty line, many people will be forced between squatting or just become homeless.

Just for reference, I live in a flat in a building from the 50s. Very poor insulation, 5º with no elevator, etc. I pay 475€ for it (small sized city), I've been living here for +5 years.

The guys in the 3rd floor came in recently. They pay 1100€ for basically the same flat.

The modal income in this city is 16k. I work on IT and I'm barely above 20k (well, was, as I'm now unemployed).

I go for the listings and there's almost nothing listed and everything is > 800€/month. If I increase the range to 1h from any potential job location it goes down to ~500 for shitty places. Also, not precisely a lot to choose from, so probably wouldn't be able to rent neither.

Can anyone tell me how is exactly this going to work out? Not to mention all the "expats" and "digital nomads" that are willing to pay whatever the landlord says because they really really want to live here without thinking about the consequences, but that's another story.

Of course buying is totally out of the question with the current prices, and that's me that I got lucky, with the new prices no one will be able to save anymore.
Recoll > Recall.
One thing I've learned about old people (and in the US, the people in charge are _OLD_) is that they have no concept of being scammed like this.

So they may recognize trolling, but if you tell them "Hey, the President of Israel tweeted at you," they just assume it was the President of Israel.
I'm not one to defend Microsoft or Windows but I'm not really surprised they couldn't get the necessary info gathered (gathering engineering details, security inspection, possibly discussing changes to internal plans or engineering details, figuring out which parts they're ready to be public about, translated across departments to the PR team who then has to translate the details into a PR statement, more cross-checking to make sure nothing inaccurate is said, etc) before the articles were published.

I wouldn't really call it "radio silence," that's just the speed something like this moves at. And it's not regarding a feature already live or anything so... it's fine if they take their time?
> I benchmarked them and they are ~15-20% slower than AWS Graviton processors

As expected. Just Azure's Ampere Altra that's OLD. It's Graviton 2 era. We're at 4 now (sort of). Ampere One is still "somewhere".
They should have put the recall database in Azure so it's secure.
The holocaust came of age in the dawn of the information age if you count the radio as information technology, albeit a very one-sided information technology where you had the government giving everyone cheap radios that were only marked to tune to German and Austrian radio stations, unless you dared to go out at night to get an antenna up to receive others.

I'd be curious to see how many Vulkan-native games there are that don't run under Proton. The only one that comes to mind is Destiny 2, but that was more because of anticheat as I remember it.
On macOS (I assume a similar feature is on Windows) I believe an app/window can specify that it has secrets or is "private". I think is this what rewind.ai uses to skip capture, or maybe it's that the screen capture API's in macOS already filter out those private windows.

Apple doesn’t operate Private Relay, and in fact that’s kind of the point: nodes are operated by three separate entities (Cloudflare, Fastly and Akamai IIRC). And the protocol is designed such that no entity can link your identity to your traffic. It’s actually quite cool and worth reading more about if you aren’t familiar with it.

When it comes to PII at my company, secure channels means "encrypted email only". No Slack, no Jira, no chat in video calls.

Also, several times I had issues because Medium would go on a crazy loop of trying to push surveillance data to the mothership... which for "whatever reason" was a blocked URL (do not fret, Manifest V3 is going to remove that functionality! Disabling all JS on every medium site still works, though).
Perhaps there's confusion in how we are using the word monologue. I took it to mean a conversation, a dialogue where the problem is perhaps solved using a dialectic method, or simply a conversation. Since one can solve a problem by following some memorized steps, no conversation required, this is perhaps not a good test, or we mean different things when we say "monologue."
Good luck! You've got a great mission and I'm sure you've already made a big difference in people's lives. Having worked in branding and identity, I think you'd probably have to rename really soon for it to be feasible, and depending on the size of your user-base it might be too late, but it might also not even be a problem to begin with.

Make sure you get recommendations from someone you trust for some experts to consult on the process. You could surely just consult with one for a short amount of time just to get a superficial sense for whether or not its reasonable, and if it's not, how to mitigate any concerns if it even is a problem at all. (Sometimes people not knowing how to pronounce the name right, for example, can actually create conversation about your product, and if the product is high quality, that's not a bad thing!) Marketing consultants always seem like a waste of money, but for consulting on something as important as a name change, you could have an exponential ROI. Like if you were concerned about it and they said "this affects a tiny fraction of the potential users-- it's not even worth doing a survey" then even the peace of mind is worthwhile.

> Because non-natural keys are unnecessary in the presence of a natural key, and unnecessary things bring in complexity.

None of the things you've presented are actually "natural" keys, they are pieces of information that you've made assumptions about to shoehorn them into being usable as a "natural key".

> Use secure channels…

No channel is perfectly secure. As channels become more secure, they become harder to use and add complexity. The more places you store customer data, the more risk you create. The attempt to force semantic data to serve as "natural key" has now added risk and complexity to your entire communication infrastructure.

Medium should have like 5 employees and just simply be a blogging platform. I think the challenge is they want to be something they can’t be. And they have too much capital seeking a high return.

Just publish blogs and rss feeds and keep costs low.

I don't know. How many? I was curious and Googled, and couldn't find any good authoritative lists. This Quora answer [0] implies that the answer is zero, as does this Snopes article [1]. Both answers mention that there's various incorrect lists going around that are white supremacist propaganda.

When Medium first arrived I thought it was fantastic. The readability and lack of distractions and badges was quite different than most reading experiences on the web at the time.

But at some point the identity seemed to switch from reader friendly to reader hostile, throwing up a paywall/login wall for seemingly every link. This created a negative feedback loop where I avoided any Medium link for anything and haven't given them another chance.

Now it seems less relevant than ever.

This is my experience. I have no interest in registering just to read free content. It’s also annoying with its UX and spammy when I did register.

I’m not sure what user wants this.
> it's fine if they take their time?

Sure feels like a symptom of them not thinking through the trivially obvious and enormous security problems they created. Competent people would have thought through things like eg wow, it would be super, super bad if someone exfiltrated this before announcing features.
And then you get the other stuff like one-off migrations that are done by someone unaware of the business constraints, or a contractor who completely misses the ORM method, etc.

These of course should be caught by checks and balances, and you can’t count on anyone knowing what they need to know ten years after an implementation is done
I dunno. If memes are anything to go by, people are frustrated by Yet Another Chat Bot standing between you and the human you need to solve your program. The fact that it's a better, more human like chat bot doesn't mask the frustration of being forced to talk to a computer with limited agency.

Yeah you're right. We have it on our roadmap to allow the user to blacklist apps. A default list of apps will be included such as password manager.

No, they need to come up with that on their own. What exactly "wrong" means? And why do you think you know it better than them? What if they find some better way that you didn't know about? Agile says that it needs to be sustainable also for the sponsors. Show the team that if the sponsor isn't able to sustain the next sprint, there won't be a next sprint. The process is up to them.
That would make a lot of sense if open source models didn't output stuff pretty much exactly the same way as OpenAI's models.
Fast Company's been on a much longer journey than that, and they still haven't found theirs, so maybe...
Recall has local storage too, and lack of auditing or open source models are not the primary complaints. It’s the existence of this data store at all. If you can find a way to let the user see it without letting Infostealer (or the user’s boss, or the user’s abusive spouse) see it, you’re getting somewhere.

Recall is kind of the same expectation violation as when Snapchat users figured out you could take screenshots.
The article is about a paper that is published in Nature. Nature will frequently do this (publish a paper and then also have their editorial staff write a more accessible piece about the paper.)
Much of the Vulkan support was motivated by Stadia, not so much because Stadia was successful, but because Google was throwing huge amounts of money at developers to port their games to Stadia regardless. When Stadia was discontinued at the end of 2022, sure enough the number of new Vulkan games immediately plummeted.
No he showed either there are true statements that cannot be proved, OR the system is inconsistent...
> SSN ... which are definitely not surrogate keys.

Surely SSN is a surrogate key? They are not naturally derived. The early ones were serial (i.e. an auto-incrementing field) and more recent ones are randomly generated (i.e. a UUID).
Ah, I see. The article was claiming it was "surging", but I guess it's hyperbolic advertising.
There was an article when the launch was scrubbed two days ago, but it didn't make much traction, and the few comments on it were (as objectively as possible) mostly "smirking SpaceX fans".
Your assertions aren’t backed by history though.

Prior to metal and Vulkan, many games used Cider to target Mac despite having the same APi (at that point, an up to date OpenGL).

And many of the current game devs do have Metal versions of their engines that they target towards iOS, yet don’t have a macOS version.

The fact of the matter is that it comes down to market share. Macs have historically not had a large user base that also had capable GPUs. It’s not been worth supporting that tiny market share

It’s the same on Linux. Why are there so few Linux native games? The argument that Vulkan would have solved this is completely incongruent with the reality of the state of gaming.

This will inevitably go back to “well at least we could have used proton” but that’s also not true, and besides there’s GPTK. And then the argument becomes circular , because all evidence points to: devs just don’t care about Mac’s from a support perspective. You can make it easier, they still won’t come until the possible demographic size is larger.

and even with DXVK, what about all the other platform specific differences? Vulkan wouldn't solve those either.

> justify paying $$ for a hosted solution, or still cheaper to buy dedicated hardware.

Always cheaper if you have at least some demand. For the lazy fix even just get a few mac mini and it'd work fine.
What a tragedy that would be - nothing replaces the visceral whump of a shell going off. I love it so much!
IIRC it took SpaceX ~7 years.

It's kind of useful perspective that when the contracts for this were being awarded, Boeing argued that SpaceX shouldn't get the contract at all because Boeing, having "human spaceflight heritage", was guaranteed to do the better job than an inexperienced upstart. Plus the extra $400M they extorted out of NASA despite this being a fixed price, milestone based contract.
Aside from the terminally online politicians (like Mike Lee, AOC, Cruz, MTG) most do not use their own accounts or even look at them. They might have a firm that measure constituent engagement, but still to this day the most effective way to complain to your congress person is a phone call or email. If we're being serious, the latter is what these bot farms, etc are after. They want to influence actual constituents to do their ultimate bidding. Now if we can get evidence of a huge phone campaign using AI voice, that would be much more alarming. Israel is doing it, and Iran/Russia/Hamas adjacent are doing it. There's absolutely no denying it.
The important part is the speed. The current models require supercomputers and many hours. This model requires one chunky GPU machine and minutes.
First hit can be a beast. It's workload/entity determinant if caching is enough for this.
