I suggest you try to look for a new job. It doesn't cost you much (other than some time) and you can test if you think the grass is greener on the other side. Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. It can give you a taste of

I've read the Extreme Privacy book, and it seems like a very condensed pocket book comparatively. The book has a lot more stories and anecdotes about his mistakes in the past.

I'm a happy user of login.gov for various things (IRS, SSA, etc). But I was surprised that there's also id.me, which is used many places for the same thing, as if there's another login.gov. I'm still not sure why there

There's a few, but they are all pretty minor. It doesn't mix well with water (rash), so make sure to put it on right before you go to sleep. It can increase sun sensitivity of your skin, making it easier to have sun burn or addi

I wonder if using something like Retinol, which is proven to improve skin and make it look tighter, younger, and get rid of blemishes, marks, and sun damage, could be paired with Ozempic to keep skin more healthy along with a good skin rout

Only from farming things that honestly shouldn't be grown here. There's actually plenty for people to use / drink, which is a LOT lower than farming uses. From the Arizona Department of Water: Irrigated agriculture is the la

Here I remember my first DEFCON (6) at the Plaza Hotel. Someone literally started a road flare on some higher floor, then sent the flare down to the casino level in the elevator, filling the floor with smoke. I feel like the attendees thes

If you have remote start you can leave the AC on when you park, and then when you're walking through the parking lot you can have the car running and the AC on for a few minutes. It does honestly help in the Arrakis-like weather of Ph

Yeah I mean this already exists in the human brain, for example we're more likely to be surprised by vision lower to the ground than in the sky. The reason? Snakes. And a lot of animals have a startle reaction to snakes as it's

Happy to live in Arizona for the lack of natural disasters, it's just a bit hotter.

I think you're right. It does seem like the models need exponentially larger datasets to get linear improvements, which are now in the realm of having to buy them from large social media companies. The next breakthrough will probably

One interesting thing, in Arizona to get a "Real ID" drivers license that you can use in for flights, they make you use a face scanning app that runs on your cell phone. So sometimes they're getting the face scan done before

Steam on Linux is nice, and handles a lot more games than you think. I dual boot windows but rarely ever do so.

I like to watch people play new games on twitch, the new games are always a trend. Then you can see what it looks like, what the experience is, etc. And soon you'll find people with similar interests and that will be a good recommend

Yeah having a perspective that is so different from the lifeguard does make it really hard.

I wonder if robots can be kind of like the 3d video calling of the future. Imagine you make a real facetime call and your face is projected on the front of the robot. You could look around and have the camera move with you too. Maybe the

Cops beating self driving car with batons will be the new Officespace printer scene. Also the cops should let all the air out of the tires and boot the car for good measure.

This seems like a strawman that isn't related to the individual case here. For Waymo the cars and the software are the same company. Even if they weren't, the car's owner can always blame the manufacturer of the car or any

The Xbox codebase was pretty good. We were doing enforced code reviews back in 2011-ish, which was a big thing at the time. There was also a good layer cake going on and a few good architects. The worst codebase by far was Outlook for Mac

When I worked there, you could take your family on a tour (if they were a US Citizen). There was no problem as long as people didn't touch anything on the factory floor. But things may have changed.

I've had to use helm and argocd in anger at work, and I feel like the real problem is not helm, nor argocd. They are tricky to learn but in general pretty straightforward once you get it. What was really annoying was the constant movi
