That point being: All of us deteriorate. We all reach an age/state where conventional medicine has reached its limit and snake oil begins to be look attractive. Not all of it is proven wrong, none of it is proven right.

On that note, Ilya's about-face is easily explained by him being suddenly "recruited" into the Traveller program over the weekend and begging for Sam to return because Altman's leadership of Open AI seeds the beginning of what will one day become The Director.

The mission comes first.

So I wouldn't feel bad about having a "low" rank in deliberately selective sample of humanity.

You could sell me on Non-Newtonian-Kevlar though: Pliant to a slow crease, rock-hard with a sudden strike.

Oh man I thought I was making that up, but it's a thing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_Armor The future is now!

Is not the selection and omission of poorly generated images the "human authorship" [1] necessary to qualify? Or can OP modify AI generated art meaningfully to qualify for copyright?

In this context at least, OP will need to disambiguate Adobe Illustrator/Artificial Intelligence where appropriate.

> is this really true?

Practically speaking, yes. The value of a parcel is largely from its location/proximity to metro areas. I've never heard of someone destroying residential property directly through chemicals or radioactivity, though value can be greatly diminished by local antagonistic developments or rezoning it unfavorably.

Same as well, with an intermediate move to Dashlane. I want a reliable, expensive password manager. It's not an easy problem to solve, so if someone's trying to do it cheap, they'll get it wrong. I wish Bitwarden would charge more, but they've proven more secure than LastPass and the Android client is way more reliable than Dashlane.

1. A new product

2. An independent party's pro/con opinions about that product

This thread is about #2. If you feel #1 has value on its own, post that.

Read both your link and the OP's. While the topic is the same, the content is markedly different.

Lithium ions are rechargeable batteries; lithium primaries are non rechargeable, high performance batteries.

Apple air tags use lithium primaries, but I suspect airlines do not care and both kinds are banned (from loaded-in-device-in-baggage flight).

> The fact that it’s the internal service used to provision AWS accounts means that AWS engineers building AWS are insulated from the way that the rest of the world manages AWS accounts–or should I say, ways. They don’t have to deal in the same way with AWS Organizations or Landing Zones or Control Tower or AWS SSO (an absolute hidden gem of a service, by the way). And that’s the crux of my beef with the service.

Apparently, /u/quinnypig dislikes this account-manager-thing specifically because AWS has been hoarding it to themselves.

His point is valid: When is AWS going to advertise account per region per service as an official default policy and bring AWS Orgs up to par with it? They think it's the right way, why not for the customer?

I agree that declaring and executing race targeted layoffs should be illegal.

> you’re giving the CEO the most optimistic end of the spectrum

No. I think he's honestly trying to say "One particular kind of biased layoff hurts one group more than another kind of bias so I'm trying hard to make sure there's no bias", albeit poorly.

I'm definitely pessimistic that he can achieve this even if his intent is to be completely impartial. There's also a chance he has no intention of being fair which I agree with you should be illegal, but I don't see evidence of that yet and just assuming malice is presumptuous.

Like can the journalist at least dig up 5 X-race guys who got fired and 1 Y-race guy who didn't and then say "see?" Nah he just went straight from Press Release -> Pitchfork mob without any legwork.

> the Chief Executive of a publicly-traded company seems to have admitted [...] that he conducted race-based layoffs

The opposite. Lawson is trying to say he conducted a completely fair race-neutral layoff. Part of this process included remaining cognizant of any biases against particular races in order keep it neutral.

Whether that's what took place is up to debate, but he certainly didn't claim it was a race-based layoff and saying so without any numbers or even internal anecdotes is dishonest journalism.

I mean, he could omitted the virtue-signalling and everyone would assume it's just your typical recession-layoff that's been trending.

I am definitely unaware. If you do know the specific law/infraction, please link to it as that would help the discussion.

It doesn't help to vaguely hand-wave (emotionally I would argue) "Someone should go to jail!!". As I asked above, which people? How much jail? And what are the clearly defined laws?

There are engineers that deal directly with code critical to public safety and the amount of verification, compliance, testing, authorization, permits, processes, legal reviews, etc involved in that pipeline increase costs and delays 10-fold, but they are extremely safe and reliable.

Not saying we shouldn't do this for an emergency device, but it most certainly will not be cost-free, few engineers would want to be involved and consumers will not want to buy it.

I'm not sure what criminal liability would look like, though. Who do we put in jail? The dev? QA? People who CR'd the bug? The TPM who proposed the feature? The manager who allocated time? The skip who initiated the whole project? Should they share blame and multithread a 7 month sentence together and do 1 month together?

I agree w/ you though. My company needs to alert me if any LOC I'm working on could land me in prison and I'll gladly switch projects. I definitely don't want that burden.

Probably too late to add that this was a hypothetical, but I'm glad the voting on this indicates how much we despise what's legally allowed.

1) acceptable behavior

2) enforceable, practically

I think video recording laws are largely influenced by 2).

I can angle my Ring camera to my smoking hot neighbor so I can record her doing yardwork. Creepy AF (breaks rule 1) but at what angle is it not obviously deliberate? Turned 10 degrees toward her lawn? 30?

Point being, I think US recording laws are too liberal but we need a defineable limit for privacy.

Maybe photon distance? Capturing photons traveling further than 30m into the aperture is invasive? (half kidding)

Are they? Postmark didn't mention anything about celebrating or congratulating. They did say they were "excited [...] Postmark will [...] become even better". And it took "nearly a year of soul searching and questioning" so it seems more introspective than the champagne popping party the blogger seems to have inferred. I think they're carrying more cynicism into this than is actually there.

Unless you're naive, there's strong incentive by the parent company to ensure customers are placated so things are spun as a success for that reason. Is the blogger questioning the function of Public Relations/marketing?

Because, it's a thing, ya know?

It's 5%, 15%, 40%, 40%.

In lieu of RSU's in Year 1, you get a big signing bonus. Year 2, not quite as big signing bonus (hence the +10% RSU). Year 3 and 4, nothing but RSU.

It adds up to the same amount every year assuming no stock growth.

Are you saying you just want double your salary for year 1 and 2 and are planning to quit before year 3 when it drops to nil? Yeah, who wouldn't?

I wouldn't want to be a shareholder of any company dumb enough to offer this.

My concerns are strictly financial: What is the actual loss minus insurance? This is a $300-500k question; why is the article wasting words on sweaters, ziplock bags, spatulas, gift-cards, wooden crates(wtf)?

Honestly, my biggest irritation would be lost time. I famously loathe paperwork. So I'll get to my real question:

What can all of us do *today*, pre-burned house to deal with this situation?

* Buy a ton of fire extinguishers?

* Walkthrough video showing everything of high value and poking it to prove it works?

* Pre-file some paperwork or make a spreadsheet of high value items: cost + origin + date of purchase + current value?

* Locate nearest fire dept and drop off maps with nearest route to your house?

Anyone been through this can pitch in on best prep/prevention tips? The goal being, if my house burns down right this second, I want a big red button to push that kicks off all the Residence-Disaster-Recovery script and if it exits zero, I'm sitting in this same kind of chair at the same kind of desk saying "Thanks HN".

Despite my callous tone I do want to mention my heart goes out to those affected by the Colorado fire right now. Reach out to folks there if you know them:

so around 162ms difference per 100,000 elements. This doesn't concern most of us for anything less than 1,000 elements (1.62ms).

I use querySelector more often simply for aesthetics (consistent with other calls and qsAll).
