The EB5 visa, by comparison, has much more clear requirements. It is not sure if this intended as a backdoor to EB5 or a replacement.

There already was such a system with more concrete requirements. It is called the EB5 visa and has a path to green card. What does this new method bring to the table?

Processes can die independently so the state of a concurrent shared memory data structure when a process dies while modifying this under a lock can be difficult to manage. Postgres which uses shared memory data structures can sometimes need to kill all its backend processes because it cannot fully recover from such a state.

In contrast, no one thinks about what happens if a thread dies independently because the failure mode is joint.

Thanks for the pointers!

Aren't the alternatives you mentioned - icerberg and duckdb - both storage solutions while spark is a way to express distributed compute? I'm a bit out of touch with this space, is there a newer way to express distributed compute?

You are incorrect.

Apple Inc has assembled $14 billion worth of iPhones in India in fiscal 2024, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday.

Postgres supports indexing an arbitrary json document. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-json.html

Not sure if the query capabilities and syntax match azure docdb but the basic functionality should be workable.

The transaction log maintained from time 0 would be equivalent but too expensive to store compared to the tables.

Resale values are lower in US because they factor in the 7.5k USD tax credit and the state tax credit mostly, there is plenty of demand for used teslas for example.

Consumer side can allow you to run ads and get Google like revenue in the future.

Intel also had a later chance when Apple tried to get off the Qualcomm percent per handset model. This was far after the original iPhone. Apple also got sued for allegedly sharing proprietary Qualcomm trade secrets with Intel. And Intel still couldn’t pull it off despite all these tailwinds.

Are they cheekily quoting the CEO who made a similar statement last week?

Just a note that this requires the admin to enable linger if the units need to be started before the user logs in and run after they logout.

Microsoft, Facebook, google, Apple, Amazon etc are all hugely profitable companies. If anyone can afford to ride out wall streets short term thinking, it is them.

For a key value store you expect server side latencies less than 5 ms for point gets and writes.

Even if wages did catch up, retired folks are permanently disadvantaged. There’s a reason why the Fed targets a low inflation rate by default than letting it float freely.

Body scan meditation is one particular form of meditation that I’ve found effective for sleep.

He did condemn the attacks, not sure why you think he didn’t take the context into account.

Is it a leak driving this? Trudeau apparently brought it up in the G20 summit so it wasn’t a last minute call. I would expect internal pressure from his political partners.

Where there’s lack of sleep, willpower is one of the first things to be affected. So the authors advice only applies in a narrow set of cases. Exercise, for example, might be a better way of getting out of the vicious loops caused by lack of sleep.

Wouldn’t say they missed the boat. ISRO did launch some of the OneWeb constellation recently https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewSpace_India_Limited

It’s just a slow ramp up. India’s rockets aren’t yet capable pf heavy payloads like SpaceX.

Yes, that part is unfortunate. It requires full routing number and account number. Maybe the phone number to account number mapping might be seen as a privacy risk in USA.

It is live on star one credit Unions mobile app. On their interface, it still requires you to specify the target’s routing and ac number like an ACH transaction. So not the most usable now.

Another difference is the use of phone numbers and simple email like identifiers in UPI. That doesn’t seem to be part of FedNow itself. What makes UPI very usable is that entering the phone number or a simple UPI id brings up some metadata about the person to confirm that the transfer target is accurate. In FedNow such a layer has to be added by Zelle or similar layer above, it appears.

It would make sense if they started out building a proprietary os (for which, btw, the count of people you mentioned is not enough, Microsoft employs vastly more people). If they contribute to open source projects and then cry for compensation, it makes no sense. They can expect compensation for services sure, but not for their open source contribution code. Those are the rules they are playing by. Not to mention that there’s vastly many more contributors who aren’t getting compensated.

Reuters and associated press have very good presence in most countries. Many American news reports use their reports.

The claim wasn’t that chat gpt doesn’t know what a frisbee is. The claim was that recognizing frisbees is different from a fundamental understanding of frisbees. So it was an example rather than a specific claim about chat gpt.

Individual corporate entities have their own flaws but the competition between them is a structure that eventually forced inefficient entities out. So Intel eventually finds themselves overtaken by a TSMC. But with govt entities, no such structure exists.

Companies can already buy recurring 3 month treasuries to hold their cash.

Did you consider buying us treasuries instead?
