I'm saying that your argument is absurd, but the one in the blog post is not absurd. You made a strawman.

"A good person is obligated to quit a bad company." is a far more reasonable statement than "A good company is obligated to hire every good person."

> Also, with regard to your scale - you've given the question too much credit. The question doesn't ask "how much are you good or bad?", it asks and receives a binary answer. And the vast, vast majority of people can't be assigned one of those binary categories of "good" and "bad".

You can pick a threshold. Your strawman would categorize 99.9% of things as bad, which is obviously the wrong threshold, and very obviously not what the OP meant. The failure of that method doesn't make the entire idea of judging companies invalid.

I'm not giving it "too much credit" to take a sane and quite obvious interpretation.
We outsource making food, building the house, taking care of the kids...

Leaving us more time to focus on what matters : work.

Ha ha.
Is it about manpower? My thinking would be it’s just about revenue. Every sale a seller makes is revenue for Etsy. Kicking out sellers means less revenue.

Which is why, similarly, Amazon doesn't care about fake items being sold on their store. Every sale on their site is revenue, so no incentive to kick out any sellers.
Though we’ll see how that pans out long term. I still shop on Amazon, but significantly less than in the past after too many fakes. Have moved a lot of my online shopping to HomeDepot / B&H / Walmart (no marketplace), or direct from the website of whatever the product is.
Of course you are correct on both points. But subjective doesn't mean "wrong" or "open to every interpretation", it just mean more than one interpretation, and often narrowing down possibilities makes the truth easy to see.

Different people disagree for different reasons. But only the most deranged disagree that what they can do and effect is worse evidence than some authority. So things like "trying it for yourself" have worked consistently as evidence for most of history. Today "it" can be a bunch of different categories of experiments and experiences.

Even then lots of experiments are out of reach of most people, sometimes financially, sometimes intellectually. Some people think essential oils helped their cold go away in 3~5 days when most colds go away on their own in 3~5 days and. So there needs to be some delegation of authority. This is where a lot of problems leak it. Some people grant authority to some for silly reasons (like an a priori assumption they can do no wrong) other for good reasons (like lots of experience working in a relevant field with many published papers).

For many people exploring the different levels of subjective evidence can get two people to understand why the other believes something goofy. This takes time, isn't guaranteed, but it can be done at least some of the time to show where evidence and many beliefs fall on a gradient of quality. This fails when people hold some belief as firmer than reality, like what conspiracy theorists or religious zealots do.
I think it is a mistake to give a company like Google the benefit of the doubt. Consumer protection is a lot like security, we should theorize the worst case scenario, and assume the company is willing to work against consumer interest if it serves their own interests.

If there exists a mundane and reasonable explanation for this, that doesn’t matter if there also exists a potential to exploit it in a way that harms consumers’ interests.
Force universities to underwrite student loans. If students can't get a job within 3 years of graduation, schools (not the taxpayers!) have to pay off the loans.

90% of the bullocks in so-called higher education would resolve itself rather quickly. Colleges are drunk with "cheap" money and out of control lending is the primary factor.
Didn't you leave out that [Google's browser] allows [Google's websites] to do things [other websites] cannot?

Ostensibly [Google's websites] are websites like any other, but [Google's browser] treats them differently. IIRC Mozilla does similar things for addons.mozilla.org, but googles seem more broad since they are not as clearly linked to browser functionality.

Strange, from my own measurements, I remember the co2 levels to be sub-600.
I just don't see how that would prevent you from doing that bicycle trip of yours.

Remember that I didn't mention visiting any other countries, just the USSR, which totally did not have these domestic borders that would prevent the bicycle trip you have described. Propiska does not come into equation since you did not mention applying for work and settling permanently.

I wonder if you got the messages that Russians mostly view these borders as a nuisance that they were raped into accepting.

> you never had anything close to the cooperation Europe has established through peace and cooperation

I don't deny it, but then again, so what? I never had anything close to many things. A space trip. A Rolls Royce. A helicopter tour. "Coooperation that Europe has established" as well.

But you know what I do, one Crimea that you can buy a train ticket and visit, with no border controls deciding whether you are entitled to do so this week or no.

Launch costs will be at an absolutely minimum twice as much, likely more like 3-5x. It will only be able to launch a handful of times per year.

It is literally bringing a muzzle loader to a machine gun fight.
I love the part where he paid for the wifi so he could develop a workaround that he would never need. True hacker spirit.
> but the crazy part is the Ariane 6 was obsolete before it hit the design table.

No, that's re-writing history. When the design was started, SpaceX was still busy fumbling landings at sea, and it was not clear-cut that a reusable rocket could be developed and operated in a cost-efficient manner, and the development uncertainty was too high.
This is a very underrated skill. Being able to say "no," especially to a customer, is critical to not losing your sanity in short order.
This is what happens when growth is more important than sustainability.
Batteries are short duration storage (4-12 hours); overbuilding renewables, generation diversity, and transmission solves for your problem statement around longer duration lulls in certain generation types.

I think we need to push them in smart ways. Just pushing mass transit, walking, or biking on people is met with an opposite reaction. But if we targeted specific use cases we could probably build it like a snowball.

Transit is plagued with having to serve everyone so it serves no one issue.
I mean, you can and you can't.

AFAIK, the UEFI spec imposes no requirement that (non-hotplug) devices be re-initializable after you've already initialized them once. Devices are free to take the "ExitBootServices has been called" signal from EFI and use it to latch a mask over their ACPI initialization endpoints, and then depend on the device's physical reset line going low to unmask these (as the device would start off in this unmasked state on first power-on.)

Devices are also free to have an "EFI-app support mode" they enter on power-on, and which they can't enter again once they are told to leave that mode (except by being physically reset.) For example, a USB controller's PS2 legacy keyboard emulation, or a modern GPU's VGA emulation, could both be one-way transitions like this, as only EFI apps (like BIOS setup programs) use these modes any more.

Of course, presuming we're talking about a device that exists on a bus that was designed to support hotplug, the ability to "logically" power the device off and on — essentially, a software-controlled reset line — is part of the abstraction, something the OS kernel necessarily has access to. So devices on such busses can be put back in whatever their power-on state is quite easily.

But for non-hotplug busses (e.g. the bus between the CPU to DRAM), bringing the bus's reset line low is something that the board itself can do; and something that the CPU can do in "System Management Mode", using special board-specific knowledge burned into the board's EFI firmware (which is how EFI bring-up and EFI ResetSystem manage to do it); but which the OS kernel has no access to.

So while a Linux kernel could in theory call ExitBootServices and then virtualize the API of EFI boot services, the kernel wouldn't be guaranteed to be able to actually do what EFI boot services does, in terms of getting the hardware back into its on-boot EFI-support state.

The kernel could emulate these states, by having its native drivers for these devices configure the hardware into states approximating their on-boot EFI-support states; but it would just be an emulation at best. And some devices wouldn't have any kind of runtime state approximating their on-boot state (e.g. the CPU in protected mode doesn't have any state it can enter that approximates real mode.)
Ah, but 7-segment displays are far easier to drive from a microcontroller, so even if an LCD is cheaper, it might make for a more expensive system.

SQL Prophet: Time-series forecasting with DuckDB
Celsius Wants Some Money Back
About half of the work trips I've been on, the tickets were booked at most a couple days in advance. The most expensive ticket I've ever bought was an economy United cross country flight to LAX for $1500 (booked about 14 hours in advance) and I've done a lot of vacations to Europe. We booked it last minute because we didn't know when the project would be ready to deliver and once it was, we had to deliver ASAP. I was on the ground in LA for about 12 hours before flying home. Awful trip. Largest ratio of dollars spent to enjoyment received I've ever experienced.
Looking at the console I quickly get "No WebGPU support; not starting" (which is correct when I check the compatibility matrix, I'm on non-nightly firefox) but the page just keeps saying "Loading" forever. Even for a demo it would be nice to surface that error to the user so they know not to wait around waiting for some potentially giant game to load (which was my first assumption).

Edit: Tried again in Chrome, the game loaded after awhile, but no 3d geometry rendered. I had a HUD with crosshairs, scoreboard, ammo. The game said it started. I could see another players name moving around, and responding to my cursor movements as if I was supposed to be in a 3d environment. Clicking when my mouse was a bit below their name seemingly killed them (or maybe that was a coincidence). But this was all just on top of a black screen.

On a M1 mac if that helps at all.
Astrology has a great test-retest reliability. Every time someone tests your sign, the same answer comes out. That's what it means. Same for personality inventories: people's replies don't vary much over time. As astrology shows, that doesn't mean you can draw conclusions.
And they do the same thing with YouTube by slowing down the initial load in other browsers. Google is evil, and this is the least of it.

That display is really hard to read.

I would say that if you're going to use a 7-segment display, it would be helpful to add a "test/diagnostic" button that does a pattern in which all segments are lit up in a predictable order, does a TOP pattern in which only the top segments are lit (to allow for device orientation), and then goes back to displaying exactly what was on the display prior to pressing the button.
Not in the Enterprise WiFi space they haven’t, it’s ubiquitous there. Though that tends to be over trusted networks or Radsec if you’re doing it right.

Static analysis tools would go a long way here, yes, and it should be a relatively straightforward analysis. You probably don't even need to explicitly annotate signal handlers, just examine arguments to calls to signal() and sigaction().
Wasn’t 2 the smallest actual number to Greeks? I think it’s clear from the history Greeks did a TON of math but missed this number system and abstraction. And if you say they still understood zero but didn’t have number system to tag along (they didn’t have Hindu Arabic numerals) well a better number system provides so much more math that the argument doesn’t have much oomph. There’s no doubt the Hindu Arabic numeral system, of which zero was apart, was the mathematical development bar none of its time. Did anyone really understand zero before it could do all these useful things in equations? Doubtful. And that’s the most charitable take for the Greeks regarding zero.
The market is flooded with 128x64 1.3" or 0.96" OLED displays. You can pick them up for anywhere from $1-$5, probably less if you bulk order.

Sure, they bring some complexity. Instead of just driving some pins you now need a display library and at least some bitmap font. But they provide a lot more fidelity, are vastly more readable, and fail in more obvious ways without needing periodic test patterns (the flashing 8's or snakes mentioned in the paper so you can detect failed segments)

For larger displays the choice becomes more interesting between OLED, LED matrices or 16 segment displays, but for small devices like those shown in the paper cheap OLEDs make the choice easy
This does not work (as expected) on `ungoogled-chromium`.
So if you can just trick someone into trusting a bogus root CA, take control of their DNS resolution, and get them to open an attacker controlled domain in Chrome then you can... Use this API to get information about their current CPU utilisation.

Wow some attack you got there.
It can be fine tuned for device related actions. In other words, with all the capabilities of your device applications or services, the small model can virtually have the same capabilities. It can always dispatch a user request in way of “natural language” to those applications, and orchestrate the applications. It can dispatch user requests beyond the device capabilities to a cloud model. This is powerful since it changes how you interact with your devices.
The performance numbers are fine, it's not obsolete in the sense of usefulness. Anyway, this project is not a French project or a German project but combination of many, therefore it needs to serve the interest of all those, therefore its politically very complex, therefore the management can't act as Musk.

If it flies and delivers stuff into the space, even at higher prices, its a huge success.
And as usual, Chrome died, both on Windows and Android.
Distributions patch to get consistent and integrated behaviour across the platform, including new features that require implementation into multiple places to be even minimally useful, and ports to newer APIs to make everything work against a single version of each library so that they do not conflict.

Upstreams generally don't do this until prompted, and sometimes resist until the path is proven and becomes best practice because distributions pushed it.

This process is mostly invisible to you because distributions have been successful at getting the changes needed for sane and consistent behaviour embedded into tools and expectations by default. All you see are the patches that are in flight or didn't make it.

If you want a distribution that does only minimal patching then there are distributions for that. The fact that the major distributions do patch speaks volumes about which approach results in a better experience for users.
I really wish wifi router OEMs would use OpenWRT. They could skin it (ala gli.net) if they wish, but at least use it. It's open. It works. You can still differentiate your product by making it have MOAR ANTENNAS! and continue to add up all the speed numbers to make it look REALLY FAST!!!!

> I'm not sure how you got the impression that I thought the google maps ESG claim was true. If you check my other comments you'd see that I expressed skepticism about it.

I'm not sure how you got the impression that I thought you thought the google maps ESG claim was true. If you check my other comments, you'd see I never said that.

Any ideas on what the controversy is that I deliberately obfuscated?

I'm bored and tired of inviting you to explain your mind-reading. I'll skip to why sharing your mind-reading is not only rude, but irrational:

Is it possible people use "ESG" as a boogie-man when complaining?

Put another way: am I deliberately obfuscating, or are you steel-manning nonsense?

Put another way, longer:

Imagine someone complains: "This restaurant's new menu is clearly pandering to ESG trends!"

Person A (steel-manning): "They must be referring to the complex interplay between sustainable sourcing, labor practices, and pandering to DEI values in the restaurant industry."

Person B (simple interpretation): "They probably just added a few vegan options and are upset about it."

In this case, Person A's attempt to find depth in a shallow complaint leads them far astray from the actual, much simpler issue at hand.

Bufstream: Kafka at 10x Lower Cost
Eh, sounds like apples-oranges to me.

> Now only 36% of respondents believe that a college education is worth the expense. If these were corporations, universities would be in a full panic and boards would be demanding a new organizational plan. However, these not-for-profits are more insulated from such market pressures and academics feel little pressure for reform.

I suspect <5% of the respondents would claim that a private yacht is worth the expense. It can very well be that getting a degree in X isn't worth $Y for you. For example, as USA becomes more atheists [1] it doesn't make sense for as many people to get a biblical related degree.

Unless the university is promoting or promising the degree as an investment I see no reason for them to have to underwrite it (plus its not dischargeable in bankruptcy so what's the point of underwriting it?). You don't force six flags to underwrite anybody who uses BNPL for an admission ticket. Of course, if the university does advertise itself as a good investment while not actually being one then that sounds fraudulent to me but that's a case-by-case situation; you don't punish all of the universities because Trump University was found to be a fraud.

There are really two options. Tickets are non-transferable, which means you need the name of the person and to check ID, and there's no scalping, like airlines. Or tickets are transferable, and you don't need names or IDS or whatever else but scalping occurs.

If you think scalping isn't enough of a problem to balance out the inconvenience of having to plan the ticket purchases better, well, uh, that's just like, your opinion, man. We'll agree to disagree. But it does mitigate a problem, scalpers inflating prices.
That's sadly all scientific papers. It makes a lot of sense on a printed page, and possibly on a vertical (portrait) monitor, but rarely on a 16:9 laptop screen or phone.

I can produce 3 inch or smaller segment displays for 30 cents a pop with up to 50 segments. At a MOQ of just 10k

You can't touch that with TFT/LCDs.
Not to mention the current consumption of a segment LCD display is measured in microamps.

And the micros that drive segment LCD displays can easily be sub dollar.

But that is not at all my point. The point is that google.com web properties have access to an API and a browser capability that is not available to it's competitors. Google only allows reading CPU info for itself.

The reason the data is not available for everyone, is because it would be a huge tracking vector. Same reason we don't allow webpages to read the device hostname, or username, or Chrome profile name. Google exposes this to google.com because it trusts itself. That poses this antitrust issue though.
A school so small that the football team has to play eight person football, but not so small that they couldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth and say, “didn’t I read something something on Brietbart about…”. I mean, it’s fair to ask a few questions, but at some point I would think one of those questions would be, “is that so bad in comparison to spending $120K on a new diesel?” The school graduated 27 students last year, I don’t think there’s a lot of room for letting your political identity dictate how the kids get to school.
