Strategy is how you deal with idempotency and consistency in a distributed environment. Your manifest is idempotent but isn't applied instantly. You can apply a manifest, and get into some broken state, how do you recover? What if you

Wouldn't normal function keys work pretty much just as well?

I wish the accidental touch detection was better, I often accidentally graze the touch bar when typing numbers.

"I'm so glad this model has a touchbar" "I would buy a dell xps but only if it had a touchbar" things no one ever said.

Certain retailers stock only what sells in this highest volume which is usually the nonfat variety, costco for example. I started making my own full fat greek yogurt, it's pretty easy.

It's still meaningful to discuss 99.99% on top of things that are around 99.99%. For example, let's say you have a service on AWS and all your clients are on AWS. If AWS is down, you are down but so are your clients. But your clie

The probability may be remote, but the impact of a hit is high, therefore it gets a lot of weight despite the low probability.

>How do they detect that? Easy, their crawler has a google bot user agent. Then they sample some number of links with a human like user agent, and diff the output, plug the diff into some algorithm to assess the score.

Just because you get a receipt from the protocol doesn't mean it made it from the fax machine to the intended recipient. Folks who send faxes still regularly follow up with calls and emails, "just sent the fax did you get it?&quot

by ses1984 7y ago
Some points seem contradictory. How do faxes have history that's easy to see, and if the other end successfully received, but it doesn't have delivery receipt like email?

Yeah methane is released inside a compost pile but some of it is consumed by the compost pile by other reactions. That is literally the point of a compost pile versus just a pile of garbage.

Imagine a model trained just on college essays, and you feed it an outline. A sentence or two intro, some topic sentences, and citations. Probably if someone had a dataset of essays large enough, you could do this right now and cause a lot

Expected value takes into account probability. You aren't going to lose $1000 every time you use air bnb. Probably.

Don't browsers and operating systems mostly respect ttls? So if some things are cached, you won't get a complete picture, but the picture you get might be enough.

Because the expected value of using the platform is still greater despite the known risks?

I can get it to play video on Firefox in Linux. It seems ok to me.

Why would a saas partner care so much if you're on aws?

What if manufacturers collude to all reduce or eliminate the need to repair devices? The barrier to enter the cell phone market is kinda high.

What's "that fact"?

Ok, sure, pick that nit, but even if it's half as efficient as gasoline, where are you going to find gasoline as clean as solar, wind, or hydro.
834.
by ses1984 7y ago
It's not just elsewhere but less. Electric vehicles are more efficient, and they can be supplied with clean power.

I would have guessed that even that is highly unlikely.

You're confusing me more. Stars passing through each other like you said before to me implies collision. Would you say these sailors are going to pass through each other?
837.
by ses1984 7y ago
>it’s extremely unlikely that any individual stars will collide What do you mean they'll pass through each other.

I feel the same way, just trying to share some perspective.

They are optimizing for profit. Your mind share is not mind share they care about because the chance of converting you into a paying customer is close to nil. You might as well not exist to them. These practices are all about extracting mor

It's her own words, her tweet. The next part says >If you win because bigotry got your competition banned... you're a loser. Hard to believe it's real, wonder if she recognizes the irony.
