crb002··on SoftBank’s plan to sell Arm to Nvidia is hitting antitrust wall around the world
If they want liquidity, sell 2/3 on the open market. Allow NVIDIA etc to buy up to 10% with their own stock instead of cash. Softbank isn't going to clear regulatory hurdles in a monopoly premium sale.
crb002··on Need advice or assistance for son who is in prison
To the person who deleted their question, yes most institutions prefer you ship straight from Amazon. Make sure the inmate has the book pre-approved to prevent SNAFUs.
crb002··on Need advice or assistance for son who is in prison
https://www.amazon.com/Category-Theory-Context-Aurora-Origin... was a Godsend when I was in solitary. Fuck jpay - send letters by post.
crb002··on Google threatens to disable search in Australia if media code becomes law
Musk's micro-satellites beat them to market.
crb002··on It Turns Out That Deplatforming Works
Racketeering works, it's also illegal.
crb002··on Judge refuses to reinstate Parler after Amazon shut it down
Parler will win in discovery that AWS allowed far more content on Twitter etc without breaching contract - and that staff worked overtime to remove everything AWS had issue with. This was 100% about protecting the Twitter advertising revenue stream to AWS.
crb002··on AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana
Bezos is executing better than the original SAAS vendors that FOSS community editions. You want to compete with buff Jeff then make sure you support Azure/GCP too and can price below Bezos' margin above raw EC2 - usually means you have to get creative with spot instances and avoiding cross data center network.
crb002··on AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana
They breached trademark in a press release lying that they were in partnership.
crb002··on AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana
Lower cost. AWS usually has huge premiums over the raw EC2/S3/EFS costs.
crb002··on AWS announces forks of Elasticsearch and Kibana
Elastic was suing them for trademark breach. Hosting didn't bother them - it is FOSS. Lying that they were in partnership with Elastic did.
crb002··on Navalny team releases investigation into ′Putin′s Palace′
That this isn't on the front page is mind boggling. Several were up late last night binging on his videos.

1) Lift all Russian sanctions. Show the people it isn't about them.

2) Everyone who owns shares in a large index fund should find how they were shafted in the bribes and go after Putin's shells under RICO (and EU equivalents). Tell the Biden administration to GTFO - he did nothing in 8 years - the man is incompetent. Get real attorneys with Navalny moxie finding creative ways to impound everything that Putin's cronies own until three times the amount stolen is paid back.

crb002··on No evidence Vitamin D affects Covid severity in people of European ancestry
Actual text. https://nutrition.bmj.com/content/early/2021/01/07/bmjnph-20...

The analysis is a mess. Why can't they put it in a Google Colab notebook to check their calcuations?

crb002··on AWS is creating a 'new open-source design system' with React
Amplify is slick - and Bezos specializes in 2 pizza team startups.
crb002··on Parler partially reappears with support from Russian technology firm
Pravda.
crb002··on In 2021, Don't Learn a New Programming Language
More concretely learn how to write specs in Gherkin/Cucumber and back them with TLA+ and Alloy before you code. Remember the speed of light (about 1 ns per foot) and annotate those specs with best case data travel latency.

Use holistic profiling like https://twitter.com/OptimyzeCloud/status/1351203905850519557

When you see performance issues then dig into your language stack and learn how to remediate them.

crb002··on Parler's home page is back online, but app still not in stores
I'm betting they host on Mindgeek then get some racks from Oxide on the downlow and Brian Cantril gets all ranty.
crb002··on Lessons for Philosophers and Scientists from Sherlock Holmes and Father Brown
Father Brown was a great respite while I was locked in solitary last year as a political prisoner of Iowa Chief Justice Susan Larson Christensen and her brother 4th District Chief Judge Jeff Larson. As a lion's paw she named every first degree blood relation except her brother to the Iowa House today - disgusting.

For some reason I could only read a chapter at a time - the stories exhausted the mind. Not sure if it was Chesterton's unique prose or the ripples of thought it set off.

crb002··on Intel is dying and we can’t save it
Intel was bleeding by not using TSMC for parity after they stumbled. If they bring in custom ASIC chiplets that are already TSMC taped it could catapult them ahead in several markets.
crb002··on Trump tried tweeting from official POTUS account, tweets immediately removed
Zuck and Jack are violating the https://icrc.iowa.gov/your-rights/iowa-civil-rights-act . So is Google by removing Parler, and Apple is threatening to.

Several are about to learn a billion dollar lesson of building data centers in a State that mandates corporations cannot discriminate on the basis of political party.

crb002··on [dead]
It's $2000 of pure inflation - but with the backdrop of the obscene National Defense Authorization Act which is a slap in the face.
crb002··on API pagination design
You could enable a batch hint in the API. The server has the option to allocate a cursor if one is available. Best of both worlds.
crb002··on Facebook Banned Our SaaS Website
I would file a criminal complaint in Iowa with the Altoona Police. Tell them you suspect an unauthorized employee accessed their systems to disrupt your business https://law.justia.com/codes/iowa/2011/titlexvi/subtitle1/ch...
crb002··on Locked-down California runs out of reasons for surprising surge
How long till they realize that CALPERS is bankrupt?
crb002··on Amazon and Walmrt not sharing extra profits made during pandemic with employees
Not true. Amazon created thousands more jobs and Walmart is paying $5 more base than local grocery chains. Thousands of unemployed small retail/restaurant paid $10 now have at least $15/h jobs.
crb002··on Tillis Releases Text of Bipartisan Legislation to Fight Illegal Streaming
Bullshit. You stream a poem and you will be put in chains if the US Attorney has beef.
crb002··on Apple targets car production by 2024, eyes ‘next level’ battery tech: sources
IMHO they should do a sprinter van with a built in sleeper - and a commercial model for last mile delivery/service/transport. Hit the high end Winnebago market, family size Uber market, AWS delivery/service market, and US Postal Service.

Don't compete with Tesla on sportscars. Be the new minivan.

crb002··on Apple targets car production by 2024, eyes ‘next level’ battery tech: sources
Apple is no better than Qt in this space - and it will only make electronics - assembly will still be on Ford/GM - Tesla's revolution is a more automated assembly.
crb002··on Ruby 3.0.0 RC1
Or bake it into a task graph and use the gmake executor.
crb002··on Ruby 3.0.0 RC1
Ruby should be one VM per CPU with message passing like I did for the Blue Gene/L port. Threading can't scale between cgroups let alone kernels.
crb002··on mRNA's next challenge: Will it work as a drug?
Yes, especially in an insulin pump so you can do time release.

This is now industrialized. Print the mRNA, slap it in lipids, inject. https://www.idtdna.com/
