South Korea information technology (as distinguished from hardware-related technology) is unbelievably bad. Much of it is purely technical: domestic firms like Naver are simply not as good as global incumbents like Google, but also they are terrible compared to other regional players (The Kakao chat app is vastly inferior to Zalo, a Vietnamese chat app). However, just as much is due to poor cultural and interpersonal decisions. This news case highlights such a cultural factor.

Note that KT, while relatively recently privatized, is still a national corporation that is considered a critical national asset under the law (thus if the North attacks, KT towers are first priority to be protected by the South's military). So, it is not as if some rogue SME infected its users with malware; it's a national corporation infecting its users over and not even be sorry about it (as in the article).

Plenty of other comments detail the strange Active X requirement: The national law had dependency on Internet Explorer/Active X. (I do not know of any developed nation having a national legal dependency on a specific corporation's consumer technology at this scale.) Also, many comments on South Korea's purportedly great infrastructure (albeit two decades ago). There is more to this.

Interestingly, if you ask an average Korean, he would say Korea is literally the best nation in IT/internet technology, topping or at least on par with the US. The national propaganda effort that went into forming this collective conscious should not be understated. Even many of the top programmers in South Korea I met strongly believe in this superiority. I wonder if this strong sense of superiority is both (1) preventing SK from improving its actually-lagging tech and (2) act in Dostoevskian-Raskolnikov manners thinking that it is above the law and consensus ("the best can break the rules and set new ones"). Whatever the underlying reason may be, there is a serious techno-cultural issue going on in the country.

One of the biggest banks in South Korea blacklisted Amazon as a financial scammer because it's Prime subscription renews monthly and customers complained after seeing the renewal charge on their credit cards. The ban was national -- no customer of this bank could buy a product from Amazon unless he calls the bank personally and ask the charge to be approved. Again, the issue wasn't technical. It was cultural.
I actually got to meet Madden multiple times and he even gave me access to his lab. My physics profs were very impressed by my project but I was disappointed. This electro deposition effect is a bit like lightning and didnt work well with my theories about trying to use a multielectrode head with different voltages to produce a shaped potential.

Grades are something useful for students as a way to evaluate their progress and get feedback.

Anytime you implement a way of demonstrating someone's competence on a scale (GPA etc) you will have some companies that target the higher end of that scale.

I don't think cheating will result in grades becoming something useful for students. If they're useful for students in showing how they demonstrate performance, employers will use that to set a baseline for expected competency.

The only way to remove that is to not have a GPA type metric but more of a pass/fail metric that puts all graduates on an equal level.

Such a strange reflection of ourselves that I had the exact same intent and methodology as you.

I’m sure that we were not alone, and there were many of us appeasing the goblins in our brains yelling for order, diligently checking boxes row by row (or some other orderly pattern). If I had landed on the page with every box checked, I would have felt a sense of doneness and left it in that perfect state. It’s so hard to empathize with all these maniacs here who would destroy that beauty just to write “boobs” ;)
Less time spent dealing with the paperwork of tracking it and accounting for the termination liability of paying out vacation. Those are the two main reasons. I’ve always preferred it because the alternative is usually some too small fixed amount of vacation that I don’t have access to for the first year. It still takes just as much political capital to take time off as long as your boss has to approve, regardless of whether it’s “unlimited” or not.
Finding big low resolution displays is a pain. Pixel density has increased a lot, so larger displays are high resolution, which means you need a much faster device to drive them, and at that point it starts to feel a little silly because your display controller is way more powerful than the actual computer.

That's the stumbling block I've run into, anyway. It's plenty doable, it just feels sillier than I intend.

From the text:

"This document is dedicated to the memory of the late Professor Charles Lochmuller (right) of Duke University. Dr. Lochmuller was a good guy, a natural comic, and an eminent scientist.

Here I approach biochemistry in a new (I believe) way. It is tradition, starting with Lehninger's first Biochemistry textbook and continuing in essentially all subsequent biochemistry textbooks, to teach about each type of biopolymer in isolation of the others other. Protein DNA, RNA and carbohydrate are described in distinct, well-separated chapters as unrelated chemical phenomena.

In Part 2 of this document I present DNA, RNA, polypeptide, and polysaccharide in the context of their common attributes. Rather than focusing exclusively on the differences (amino acid side chains, nucleic acid bases, etc), I focus on the profound universal properties (self-complementarity, emergence, etc) that unite biopolymers. In my view only by learning about biopolymers in context of each other can one hope to achieve a reasonable understanding of them"

> “We have succeeded in landing a compromise on a CO2 tax, which lays the groundwork for a restructured food industry -– also on the other side of 2030,” its head Maria Reumert Gjerding said after the talks in which they took part.

Yikes. All this is is a successful attempt by the ruling class to convince the subjugated to give up even more rights and freedoms. “It’s for your own good” on steroids. If you want to see clear proof of this, just note that on the strict numbers, this practice won’t meaningfully move the needle on the climate issue. In fact, will it even move the needle overall? Once you feed the animals better, namely with some seaweed incorporated into cow feed in particular, this total emission from these sources drops by some 80% or more. But of course that solution won’t do, because the entire point of these co2 laws is to have more control over people’s lives rather than to solve problems. If climate change ended tomorrow, these same people would try to push the same laws because the intention is to control the masses and to tax people more to feed the bureaucracy machine.

People should be wary of hall monitors and bureaucrats aiming for “restructuring” of food systems, especially for moral posturing reasons. In history that tends to lead to starvation.

Looking back at every job I've ever had, I would not pass the current hiring bar two years after being hired. Companies are just getting pickier and pickier, more and more conservative and risk adverse, and shrinking rather than growing the pool of candidates they are considering. Sometimes it seems they are acting as though a single bad hire will torpedo the business.

It's ironic that while they keep raising the bar, they also keep complaining that they just can't find talent anymore...
I am failing to find an original source, on what could be internet legend, but supposedly this happened at Google. Someone submitted the interview panel's hiring-date resumes to the panel (presumably with some minor names/dates swapped). Panel fully rejected themselves.

Don't log anything you're not allowed to log. But in some industries (like finance) you need an immutable logging system and if you could easily delete evidence of a crime or security breach that would be a bug not a feature.
I imagine the charitable story goes "if we have a good way of measuring your contributions, we don't need to bother counting your hours and days because we'll know whether you're effective without doing that, and if we don't have a good way of measuring your performance, we have bigger problems that vacation policies won't fix." But that's kind of bullshit.
I hope this works out. It would be a great benefit if it works out. Social media is a vampire.

Realistically though, it seems like a great way to garner animosity of students against their teachers, and teachers against their handlers. Will also teach students how to more effectively and discretely break rules and disrespect power structures.

I've never worked at a company where your manager was not also your "boss." You do what your manager tells you to do, make them look good, defer to them when necessary, because they utterly control whether you continue to work there or not. I'd love to learn about a company where this is not true. Not doubting it, but genuinely curious because it is counter to all of my 25 years of career experience.
Reminds me of a quote possibly from Warren Buffett, "If you wouldn’t buy it today, you shouldn’t hold onto it."
The charitable take is Hanlon’s Razor.

Leadership at these companies is simply incompetent and honestly believes it’s a good policy.

It’s an immediately disqualifying policy for me.
It’s surprising this attitude (and stuff like stack ranking) is so prevalent in tech. Tech workers are professionals, not burger flippers. You create all sorts of incentives that are bad for the institution long term, like discouraging cooperation, discouraging people from owing up to mistakes, acknowledging when ideas don’t work, etc.
> The looming one-sided threat of being instant-fired cultivates such a psychotic inducing culture of ass-kissing it is not healthy for a company.

My guess is that if you work at Netflix, you've done at least a bit of research into the culture, and they aren't exactly secretive about how fire-happy they are, so hopefully most know what they're getting themselves into.

https://www.dice.com/career-advice/netflix-company-culture-t... (2018)

> Specifically, Netflix has something called the “keeper test,” which is a measure for management to fire or retain staff. It's very simple; a manager is supposed to ask: "If one of the members of the team was thinking of leaving for another firm, would I try hard to keep them from leaving?"

> CEO Reed Hastings and then-HR Chief Patty McCord wanted to encourage “independent decision making” among employees, but also retain only those who were “highly effective.” As a result, they nurtured a culture in which even longtime employees were ruthlessly evaluated; if they were no longer the best at their role (at least in the eyes of their manager), they were out.

> crux of these tests is to help managers decide (as Hastings did with McCord) if they would fight to keep an employee around. If the answer is no, that employee is terminated or asked to leave. Netflix’s 360 tool provides broad context for personnel decisions. It’s meant to encourage objectivity, but it also seems to produce obscure, sometimes startling changes in the hierarchy.

> Simply put, you can’t copy it, because you’re not Reed Hastings, and your company isn't Netflix. Nor can you likely become him. Employees describe him as a man “unencumbered by emotion.”

Maybe Netflix is successful because of it, maybe they're successful despite of it. They don't seem to at least have any issues recruiting, despite widespread knowledge of the conditions.
> Then they wrote one stupid line about their motivations (likely made up to justify playing around with local models) and get completely lambasted for that one stupid line.

to be fair, it's worth lambasting them over it because they are perpetuating the myth that AI is bias free (which a lot of people actually do believe!) and putting the weight of mozilla's reputation behind it
I would imagine resolution mostly comes down size of electrode and how close you can get that to the substrate and grow the deposit in a controlled fashion. Mine were 25um. As for wearing out the electrode; madden's paper probably has some information. I would expect the wear to be similar to the oxygen side of electrolysis (water).

Finally, to come back to the keyboard interface, I think WordStar is the least modal word processor I have ever used. On long-hand paper, writing and editing are one fluid task: there's no barrier to discourage you from switching between adding new material and modifying existing material. On a typed page, these tasks are quite distinct, especially with non-electronic typewriters. To change a word is a completely different spectrum of activities, and therefore a completely different mindset, from simply adding new words.

The thing is, Microsoft Word (for Dos and then Windows) was actually a big step for this also. The standard Windows/Macintosh arrow-key-and-selection-area interface was huge step up from previous word processing. The thing is that as author says, previous word processors like WordPerfect preserved faithfully and horribly the typed-page-and-whiteout "interface". I wrote a number of college papers in WordPerfect and I found it's "modalism" terrible (though I'm sure some is nostalgic, someone found advantages).

Moreover, the select-copy-paste system is based on a few simple tools that can be grasped without special training and synergize to produce just about any edit effect. Things weren't that easy before and I don't miss that.

One thing I'd mention is that graphic editing (photoshop/GIMP/etc) is still stuck in an interface taken from paper. And that when CorelDraw and Inkscape showed a better interface that also uses a few synergizing tools, other software failed to adopt it. But the pressures on graphics software seems to be different.
Right, but those were self imposed requirements based on intuition. The axioms of sigma algebras are different than these requirements. If anything measure theory highlights the limits and conditions of when to consider something measureable. That is the point of the Paradox and the need for measure theory.
"The laptop also has an (also-integrated) NVidia graphics card, but while Firefox recognizes its presence, it won't use it."

It is possible to request the high performance GPU in javascript, but it is up to the OS to grant it, or not.
In windows one has to explicitely choose for each app, which GPU to use. Which is stupid right now, as I would like the big GPU on my laptop only for some things like web games and the automatic dedection does not work, so I can either switch it on - or off.

But it does NOT change GPUs based on required performance. At least not for me.
OP, are there any parts on the bottom? The side picture has the headers hiding the bottom. Going by the schematic it looks like U3 is on the bottom.

The reason I was wondering is that without the headers it would be easy to solder it to another pcb like a module.

Very cool though, I hope it's a big hit.

Super interesting approach.

> "directly print pure copper, which has historically been very difficult"

SLM [1] has been able to 3D print Copper with precision down to the size of a mechanical pencil's lead for a long time already. In what way is ECAM better? Is it more precision + no need to handle powder + no need for laser source and containment - ECAM being slower, or am I missing some crucial feature?

What's the OS like there? I'm guessing you're not booting into a Wayland desktop. However, that's way more powerful than the Amiga I emulated over the weekend and it had a full GUI desktop, compilers, and all sort of other stuff.

Basically, what can you do with it out of the box?

Edit: Dont' care; ordered anyway. I'll find out when it gets here. I still wonder what I can get excited about in the mean time.

I've said this before, and for you I'm assuming there's no rush, but the best person to sell the "valuable" part of the collection is you.

Now granted, most collections are not art - so I'm assuming you gave fewer distinct pieces than say stamps.

My dad had a serious stamp collection. Had he died with it complete, we would have sold it for a few $ to a dealer. The cost of (him or us) going through it to find "the good stuff would be too high.

Take your art. Unless you've cataloged it, had it appraised, and keep that updated every few years, your heirs will likely just sell it as a job-lot to a dealer. Given his costs, and risks, he'll pick a small number (like $50 per). Your Rembrant is his to find.

What my dad did was sell off the expensive stuff himself before he died (and told us). He knew what he had, and where to find it. (He discovered that selling is different to buying, but that's another thread). At least we knew that what was left was basically worthless and we could donate it with a clear conscience.
It's more like both airbnb and migrant sheltering move prices in the direction one would expect but they are so small as to be rounding errors in effect since there's around 8 million housing units in the city vs maybe 40k airbnb listings. The real story is people want to live in NYC and NYC is doing a combination of underbuilding due to bad city regulation slowing redevelopment processes down and causing rental units to sit empty because of foolish city regulation around rent stabilization making it more profitable to just sit on an empty unit than to spend money on repairs and rent at the stabilized price (also the city is utterly failing to maintaining their almost half a million units of low cost housing). So instead of fixing the problem (getting rid of rent stabilization on units that are sitting empty if they are renovated to code to unlock the 10-20k units sitting vacant for this reason, repairing their low cost units, getting out of the way to bring the embarassingly low ~30k units built annually to a multiple of that) They screw over airbnb's to hurt tourism and maybe slow rent appreciation for a quarter or two.

A key motivator of this pattern is identifying invalid configurations early, and in particular preventing execution if a known invalid configuration is requested (e.g. fail-fast). For example, if you delete a resource from a configuration, and it ends up being one that is depended upon by another, a "plan-execute" pattern should identify this at the start and prevent any execution from happening.

From what I heard the state of the art was to move away from electrodes and to use lasers. So how that works is that you have the normal electrolytic solution but you apply a passive voltage below the activation voltage. Then you use the laser to break down the double layer at the substrate surface. This leads to laser controlled deposition.
