This does play a role if for some reason you use object IDs, e.g. when deserializing data with cross-links. Keeping a real second reference becomes important.
> 5% risk is a gigantic chance. 5%! One in twenty!

I can't tell whether or not you understand that 5% is supposed to be the base chance of getting colorectal cancer. Cancer in general is very common, we basically all get it eventually in some form or other. The difference nitrate processed meats are supposed to make is an 18% increase of that base 5%, moving 5% to 5.9% (this is why the article feels a little deceptive, because the correct interpretation of the statistic completely relies on the word "by" and a preexisting knowledge of the baseline statistic).

> I don't think I'd accept the risk to give up a piece of my colon for the joy of eating ham.

I'm not saying it's nothing, but to be clear the OP is suggesting the _absolute_ difference is 0.9%. So that is the additional risk you would be accepting over your lifetime for regularly eating it.
I remember reading about DPR before he got busted, and thinking "wow, this guy must be practicing some insanely paranoid opsec".

This predates the machine learning boom. Now there's much more demand for people who are into that kind of math.
It doesn't need to. The "everything must be a web app" mindset is completely unnecessary and actively harmful to accessibility. I've seen far too many "redesigns" turn a site of static pages or even forms into a horribly slow and buggy limited-browser-support SPA that excludes access for no real reason.
Men are also frequently advised to lower the tone of their voice to convey more gravitas. This is for personal interactions - nothing to do with electronic bandwidth.

Besides, electronic bandwidth these days is of necessity set up for music, and so should be ample for higher voices.

(I have noticed that VOIP is much easier for me to understand than POTS, and cell phones are the worst. Cell phone voice quality hasn't improved since I got my first cell phone in the early 90's.)
Used to love this game... would love a refresh with modern models and animation.
It's a bit of a stretch to connect such ancient data on recording and playback technology - their most recent citation is from 1933! - with a drop in female voice pitch. Microphones and playback quality have come a long way (tinny phone speakers notwithstanding).

If there has been a desire to lower voice pitch to sound more authoritative/less "shrill", I suspect it's much more of a general social issue than a technological one.

This would run afoul of commerce laws in pretty much every US state. Tare must be set from zero, not relative to whatever happens to be on the scale, and certainly not on the fly.

The Pulse News Reader app, makes commercial use of the
NYTimes.com and Boston.com RSS feeds

An app doesn't do anything of itself. At best, it can be used to make commercial use of the feeds. The app enables persons to read the feeds. One of these individuals could make commercial use of the feed he choose to download via Pulse, but that is not specifically enabled by Pulse: he would have to take additional action.

Now one could argue that displaying the NY Times feed in the screen shots is commercial use of the feed. But in that case, they should argue that the Pulse advertisement infringes on their copyright. Not the Pulse application itself.

The self-hosted controller UI uses your browser to fetch crap from UI.com.

> In the absence of a ruling from the Supreme Court, the previous ruling from the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is binding precedent on the whole country that APIs are copyrightable.

This is not true - other circuit courts are free to set their own, conflicting precedent. Each circuit's decisions are binding only on its own judges, and suggestive but not binding on other circuits.

Circuits deciding differently (a "circuit split") is uncommon, and considered urgent grounds for the Supreme Court to take up a test case to resolve the ambiguity; but it's not considered a "breaking" of precedent by either circuit, just a difference of interpretation for the Supreme Court to resolve

The state will send you to prison for lying about the taxes you owe. You can be massively in-debt for taxes, but the debt has to be a matter of public record.

But you're missing the point about "automatic conversion": the USD has to come from somewhere. Converting from BTC isn't transmutation - the BTC is sold for USD. The transaction happens in USD and must come from available USD for BTC sellers.
Also, don't forget the inconsistency of being able to use units like `px`, `ex`, ie: `<circle cx="10ex" cy="10ex" r="2ex" fill="red"/>`, but it would be invalid in `path`. The unit in path is exclusively `px` only.
It would help some of them, but sadly I think many would not be able to budget the 50k properly and would be homeless again within a few months due to debts, addictions, scams, etc.
This is not true for all people, sensitivity to dietary cholesterol intake is individually variable. My cholesterol responds very strongly to dietary cholesterol intake, when I do not eat eggs yolk, shrimp etc, my cholesterol is close to ideal. When I do eat them my numbers go extremely high and I am recommended to take a statin. I am in my 40s and this has been very consistent since I was in my 20s. If you read more studies related to this you will find that there are absolutely populations of dietary cholesterol responders and non-responders.
Thank you Aaron!! All the best!

I deal with this by always adding a second "cold" key when services allow multiple keys, and keeping this cold key somewhere secure as a backup spare. So if I do, say, lose my primary key, I can at least pull out the spare key to reset and de-associate the primary.

Fair enough. I'm more worried about database consistency -- it's just the way I roll, I guess.
The use of familiar everyday terms for technical mathematical objects makes this difficult ("net", "space", "compact", etc.). Since most pages are either all about math or have nothing to do with math, I wonder if there's an easy way to tag the former pages, which would then be used as an advanced filter available when searching. ("Is this a math search?")
The current hypothetical non-piracy model for music is broken, and it always has been.

I agree with that. My main concern is not people who make unauthorized copies of music and then later buy copies; I personally think that's great, and ought to be somehow legal. I am concerned about people who make unauthorized copies of music with no intention of ever paying for it and just flat out don't care because they don't feel it's worth paying for, even though they clearly see it as something of value, since they listen to it.

The huge difficulty is, how can you reliably discern between these classes of unauthorized copying?
Whew! Haskell's not on the list.
By your logic startups (and pretty much any new business) should not exist, since they turn no profit for years.

And this is why Socialist economies are so crappy and need minimal wage laws: they kill their startups before they even exist and have no competition on the talent market.

And then they wonder why they can't produce an Apple, Microsoft, Amazon or Google...
FWIW, the videos with sponsored content are frequently either not getting money from YouTube (such as the gaming segment), or not getting enough from the ads that do run (COPA affected and . The creators may also be futureproofing their livelyhood in fear that their segment will be the next one that YouTube demonitizes by default.

It’s not very profitable to be a content maker (outside the top .01%), and many content creators are paying a team to help them produce regular, high quality videos.

Sounds like a good learning experience. Cocky arrogant people will generally resent you for showing them up, you should only do so if you don't mind the possible consequences.

Better to learn that in an inconsequential game than in a project, where you might weeks or months of work shot down (even at the expense of the company).

Thankfully most of my bosses weren't like that, they had their flaws but I never feared such pettiness. If your local job market is good, don't settle for that crap.

DMOZ was a good idea, but the execution was biased because curated lists invite partiality. You might build something better only if you could mitigate this natural tendency.

The linked article on Ted Hall has him explaining why he did it. All such justifications must be taken with a grain of salt, of course, but he claims to have feared that if a post-war depression ensued, the USA could turn totalitarian and fascist, in which case it would be better if the USA did not have a monopoly in nuclear weapons.

He also recounts the extent that his views were shaped by his slightly older roommates at Harvard, whom he was obviously in awe of.

Rather more self-servingly, he claims that he probably would not have spied if he had known how despotic the Soviet Union was.

Money was apparently not involved.

I have seriously contemplated a special request handler for Chinese traffic that is being directed to the wrong host on our servers. Something along the lines of "Chinese government censors broke your internet" or the like.

Plain text protocols are:

- human readable

- good for quick protyping

- good for inspection while debugging

They are also:

- complicated and slow to parse

- more bloated than binary

We benefited from text protocols because we had plenty of headroom: memory was cheap enough, storage was cheap enough, network was cheap enough, power was cheap enough for our use cases. But that's not quite so true anymore when you have to scale to support many connected systems and handle lots of data. The honeymoon's almost over.

> proofs that the average programmer can understand

Do you believe that every computer-generated human-illegible proof has an analogous human-legible proof?

It's my impression that much of the point of computational provers, is finding solutions to questions that humans would never otherwise answer in a million years, because the only proof of the conjecture (of a practical length/complexity†) is one structured in ways ill-suited to human mental processes.

† There might be a human-legible proof, but at 100x or 1000x the length of the human-illegible proof. It might be beyond human capacity to ever deduce such a proof; and it would also be beyond the capacity of the algorithms used in current provers to generate it. It would be "out of reach."
Here's a crazy idea: Don't use analytics at all but focus on your product. If your success relies solely on "improving conversions" by tracking your users and then changing the position and color of your "Checkout" button then maybe try setting yourself apart such that customers want to buy your product even despite an obnoxious purchasing flow. Only then start optimizing it.

More serious thoughts: Google Analytics introduces performance overhead for your website and now you have to explain to your users which third party is responsible for processing their data on top of yourself. Why introduce those headaches? Are the insights from Analytics really valuable enough to justify the cost? I personally haven't seen it.
And yet, regardless of your own personal feelings and beliefs, here we sit, locked in our little worlds which have been shrunk down to the space inside the walls of our homes, with a government mandated two dose regimen as you scream helplessly into the wind like an obese turtle on its back screeching for help.

So stop complaining, stay the fuck inside, and quit questioning the science because you half-dosers are really starting to sound like antivaxxers and antimaskers all of a sudden.

Again, when kids go to school is entirely independent of the daylight shift for the rest of the population.

We've known for a while that school that starts too early [1]. Some school boards have shifted back start of school by an hour already [2].

If the education board really wanted, they could offer afternoon start times or evening school. This has actually been proposed and met with enthusiasm. [3]

But to my point - this is entirely independent of when we choose to have the sun overhead.

My argument is that most workers and non-school age people are

- likely sleeping through the first hour of sunlight in the winter

- enjoy leisure hours after work more than before work

- enjoy having sunlight after work

Shifting sunrise forward an hour would result in a dramatic quality of life increase for most people.

Further, the added enjoyment of extra sunlight will cause people to spend more time outdoors and away from home after work, increasing their consumption. Businesses will be happy about this.

#3: don't fall in love with SQL. It fucking sucks.

That used to be case when you had to clear certain hurdles to IPO and stay listed. With the recent SPAC craze you no longer have to meet any of those. All you need is a credible narrative. In that environment, no, you shouldn’t expect stocks to have positive returns. Long-term positive return in stocks is purely a function of required rate of _cash_ return. But if an underlying business is never meant to ever distribute cash back to investors, the stock is worth exactly ZERO. In other words a ponzi scheme.
How considerate. As if the legal system matters at all to the existence of the NSA. Wikimedia's case notwithstanding, it's abundantly clear the spy agencies can only be peacefully resisted with privacy enhancing technology.

Of course it won't change consumer behavior for everyone all the time. At some point I'm just gonna have to buy that dishwasher. But it will change consumer behavior at the margin and what happens at the margin is what economic thinking is all about.

Also, it's not just about consumer behavior but also investor behavior. Why should I take the risk of investing my money in a new product or company if I can earn a profit by hiding my money under my mattress?

> If anything, this seems like a fluff piece trying keep in step with the "evil, scary China" narrative.

I don't think it is 'evil, scary'. Evan Osnos has been in China sufficiently long, as a profile journalist, to not fluff a piece.

But I get a lack of direction. The meat comes in the middle, but fizzles out without follow-through, flipping to Bo and other stuff.

But the change in normal day-to-day China since he took power, particularly the past 2 years since he took power has been stunning, particularly where it is most visible: most (not all) high end restaurants. They have little to no high receipt custom (people on seats are still there, but now not spending ridiculous amounts of money), not because their former customers were exclusively government, but no one wants the association.

Corruption could be as deep as it ever was, the fear of a Xi audit is not there, but the fear of someone proposing a Xi style audit, publicly, and the chiming in of the government in support and guaranteeing a prosecution is an echo of Mao's 1960s policies.

tl;dr: Don't be corrupt, you will be prosecuted, because people think Xi thinks so.
