Yes, the primes become more sparse, but because there are countably infinitely many of them, and the natural numbers (of which they are a subset) are merely countably infinite, this counts as "common".

Our intuitions about this stuff are not very helpful in mathematics. For example, _most_ numbers are normal in any base (if you wrote them out as a decimal fraction they'd have an evenly distributed amount of all the different digits, forever) and we can prove this is true of the set of real numbers - but even though we know it's true, we don't have any definite examples of such numbers, the closest are we think Pi might be normal but we can't prove it, and we know Chaitin's constants are normal for sure, but by definition there's no way to write one of those down...

I moved from Scotland to Finland, with my Finnish wife, and I admit I cried when I unpacked our baby-box:

https://imgur.com/a/I0NYI

The box itself is great, but the reason that Finnish mortality rate for babies fell so sharply after the box was introduced was because to qualify for one you had to visit a doctor early in your pregnancy.

Having early contact with healthcare, when pregnant, means you're more likely to do well. The doctors/nurses/midwifes/assistants can frown at you, tell you to eat your vitamins, stop smoking/drinking, etc.

For what it is worth healthcare is not free in Finland, but we paid about €300 for mother, father, and baby to stay in a private room for 3-5 days. (Just over a year ago, I can no longer remember that period. I just remember in the 3-5 days I drank a full bottle of whisky, and smoked a cigar in the car-park, in subzero temperatures. Finland, remember?)

So in litigation, when one side destroys evidence, you can ask the court to draw an adverse inference about what the evidence would have contained. That seems like it would be appropriate here.

I was only on a badly organized public school, where most teachers suffered from the trauma of suddenly having to teach the capitalistic way instead of socialism.
But I had supportive parents, so I had access to a (small) telescope ..

And yes, science helped me, too, to overcome the dark Catholic dogmas.

Putting logic and reason to the world ...

But ... that logic and my believe in the science model of the universe doesn't contradict my spiritual believes. So basically, science is true, but so far it can only show us and explain parts of the universe.

But that there is apparently more to it, other forces which actually do interfere with our lives, I believe simply from my experience. And if you (and others) did not experience anything out of the ordinary ... well, there are two possible explanations, first, those forces don't care for you(strongly), or second, your mind tries hard not to notice them, as it would be inconvenient to do so ... since the ordinary world is already complicated enough without demons and spirits ...

Just a alternative hypothesis, I don't want to convince you of something, just pointing out, that science doesn't disprove religion/spiritually and it both can go along in general.

Software engineers are not standing on a work line waiting for a minimum wage job where they have no control over their working conditions. Software engineers create value directly with little or no dependence on capital. Their employers need capital to support whatever their business ops are, but creating software itself requires no capital other than the training and experience that belongs to the engineer.

Software engineers already have a lot of leverage. If you have a boss telling you you have to work crazy hours just say no. If you aren't using the bargaining power you already have a union is probably not going to help you.

In unions bosses break the rules continually and you only get them enforced by persistently filing grievances in the face of a lot of blowback, sometimes from the upper echelons of the union itself because they don't like people rocking the boat too much.

In the grievance game management and union sit down every month or so and take the list of proposed disciplinary actions against employees (firings, suspensions, etc) and the list of grievances filed against management and swap them out to prevent the people with the most seniority from getting fired. A lot of valid grievances will get ignored because they were traded out so some old timer could keep their job - not exactly the epitome of justice.

Having a written contract does provide leverage but not as much leverage as being able to tell your boss that their project will fail and they will lose money if they don't give you what you want. Not every software engineer is going to have that kind of leverage but if you want it you are probably more likely to get it by using your existing skills than by trying to organize a union.
Not to take away from your story, but every single restaurant I have ever been in my life does this - if a waiter sees something drop on the floor, they'll bring you a new set. This is an expectation and not the exception when you go to any sit down restaurant.

As I mention below, Vala debugging isn't the catastrophe you think: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Vala/Tutorial#Debugging

Serious work has been done in Vala. It's not fair to dismiss the language as a quaint toy.

That comes from the old NTSC standard and the history of adding colour in a backwards compatible way:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GJUM6pCpew

In the case that the above posters are mentioning, this probably has less to do with NTSC compatibility and more to do with bad timing hardware or cameras that attempt to do too much in PIO mode instead of using real encoding hardware.

Stream always looks interesting, until I hit their pricing page, where I see this:

Starter, $59/month, 5 million updates

Growth, $269/month, 9 million updates

Wait, what? To increase the updates by 80%, the price jumps by 356%.

I understand they're throwing in higher processing and custom ranking. That's still approximately the most absurd pricing variance on one plan to the next on a scaling service that I've ever seen.
I agree with all your interpretations except for #4, I think it's the opposite, if something is ambiguous then you need to add detail to clarify it, and you can present a lot of information at once as long as the representation is consistent.

Having lots of detail is not equivalent to being complex.

"The environmental and social impact of having a kid is much larger, and I can see how some folks don't want to subsidize this."

Eh, what? Isn't continuation of the human species our number one priority? What's the point with all of this if there are no children to continue. We all will be dust one day, and if there are no children we totally, and completely seize to exist.

Continuation of the species is not a lifestyle choice. Children are not a lifestyle choice. They are necessary.

You can't seriously discuss children in the same context as you would describe any service, investment or consumer goods.
It seems mad that access to sensitive databases, for instance, is a simple password reset issue. I would have hoped for some kind of additional hardware security, like a keyfob/dongle. I remember reading that MI6 spooks have them.

I too have little sympathy for the likes of the FBI or CIA when they suffer this kind of breach, it shows they are not competent. Unfortunately they will instead try to extract retribution from some autistic kid...again.
It’s when he refers to so-called “cultural marxism” taking over universities and political correctness being a huge problem that sets off warning bells for me.
At most restaurants they do not manage to pick your fork off the floor before you can take 1-2 seconds to do it yourself. (The silver plate and cushion thing is a bit unusual also.)

Same here, I've rarely ever had anything that links ffmpeg crash, and I have a lot of ancient videos in old formats laying around.
I use ffmpeg to transcode video, perhaps 10,000 times in the past year (part of an automated pipeline). It has failed about 50 times or so, almost every failure down to corrupted input and not a crash per se. It has deadlocked about 200 times, often enough that my tools monitor the log file I redirect output to and restart the job if too long passes without progress.

I'm amazed it's as stable as it is, given the complexity of video formats. Of course crashes are also potential security problems - I sometimes wonder how far you could get with a malicious video spread virally (in the social sense).
> GoPro could turn themselves around if they supported their customer community by opening up their hardware interfaces more

Is it theirs to open up though? When I last looked at it, it seemed as if most of their tech was Ambarella SoCs. Doing a quick search now, it seems they went with Socionext for Hero 6.

Even if they could open it up, it would be a non-trivial cost to support. Multiple products, probably multiple breaking API changes between firmware releases, ... It would probably have to be on a partnering program basis, and for that you need partners willing to share the costs.

As for lowering the price... The market is becoming saturated, competition increased and cheaper alternatives have been popping up. Lowering COGS is hard. GoPro grew up and cornered the market for a while. In doing so, they grew in the environment they were in, but the environment changed and now they have to adopt to the new conditions. That's easier said than done.

I'd say they'd have to broaden their product portfolio in order to avoid/get out of stagnation and decline. I think that was their thought when going into the drone market, but it didn't go well from what I understand. There's other markets for products built around optical sensors (surveillance/security, "smart" sensors w/ computer vision, ...).

Supporting an open developer program is probably not a viable thing for them to do right now.

Not a Risk at All
Fascinating, thank you for the extra breadcrumbs. I think the mental model has to include something about mass produced vs bespoke, not just high/low fashion.

In the US, the easiest example to take is the three tiers of fashion produced by Old Navy, The Gap, and Banana Republic. As far as I'm aware, it's always been the same ownership, but each brand is clearly marketed to different price ranges. And also as far as I'm aware: all three brands use offshore sweatshop labor. Right now, rough prices for jeans:

Old Navy: starting at 25USD
The Gap: 40-60USD and up.
Banana: starting at 120USD

If I had to pay 200-300USD for one pair of denim jeans, I would make damn sure it's because it was machined by a highly paid local artisan. (I don't really care that they're local. I'd still have to think about the cotton sourcing, I guess. Everything about the supply chain is problematic.)

You're right that income inequality is shaping the market, but I think the reverse is true too. The only go-to-market strategies anyone seems to use are: 1. dominate the market with razor thin margins (or even at an initial loss), 2. well differentiated luxury products at outrageous margins. Changing the subject from cloth, Apple is the only company that doesn't seem to operate barely above margins for their low-end products. But of course they benefit from fierce competition on margin with their suppliers. And electronics recycling is a lot more profitable than clothing recycling. I don't know, I guess I was never talking about clothes anyway, and always talking about Late Capitalism.
> Why should the person committing the crimes be let go?

Because a child calling a helpdesk and pretending to be someone else is a prank. Slap on the wrist, followed by a job offer. It seems on a similar level to ringing a bar and asking for 'Amanda Hugginkiss' or 'Mike Hunt'. At least this kid found the problem before the Russians did.
I don’t believe the point of the antedote was that they brought him a replacement piece of silverware.
Indeed. My first real swing at self-employment was thanks to an ad in either Boy's Life or some comic book encouraging kids to sell greeting cards door-to-door. I sent off for the kit (which I believe was free), waited impatiently, and happily received my sales kit. I then went all over town doing the door-to-door schtick. I believe I was in third grade at the time and learned a LOT about sales, customer support, product fulfillment, and the importance of customer retention. Over time I had other jobs and interests that brought my door-to-door operations to a halt but even when I was in high school I had certain customers acquired during that 3rd grade summer that would contact me to make sure I stopped by for their yearly orders.
That doesn't explain why one wants to sell and another wants to buy the plane.
It's not the Biblical references / usages that bothers me, and that's in and of itself is not what I mean. I engage with it theology myself and often respect theological thinkers in regards to their arguments. This is always the problem when I try to bring this up: trying to convey that it is a religiosity creeping in, but a fundamental desire that exists as the foundational impetus of what we call religiosity, but which can find expression through other avenues in ways that are not immediately recognized as such.
What I like about him is that he was upset about this this super small dish that you pay at a really expensive price. He used to say "La nouvelle cuisine, c'était rien dans l'assiette, tout dans l'addition". What means: the new cooking, it's nothing in your plate, everything in the check.

>I envy musicians, fiction writers, at least their work gives people joy, and maybe gives them joy as well.

Ask yourself this - what qualities do you see in this work that you admire? Are they things like autonomy, creativity? Which of those are you missing from your work? Do you work with/for people you like and respect?

Imagine this scenario.

You work as a writer for a huge company called International Book Manufacturing. An exec has just decided the company wants to launch 9 book series on romantic vampire-pandas and they have got funding. This is what happens next.

1). A group of execs and strategy researchers sit down and decide the major themes of these books
2). A group of senior managers narrow down which book get which themes
3). A group of book managers are assigned to each book. They write the major plot requirements for each book
4). A group of principal book architects write out the major plot points
5). A group of book architects define what goes into each chapter and do the outline for each chapter
6). A group of principal book engineers further refine the outlines and define the paragraphs
7). The writers finally get all of this and are assigned paragraphs. You only get to interact with your team, which is people who are writing the same chapter. You have a style guide for what you can and can't do.
8). Halfway through the project, book scientists uncover vampire-pandas are on the way out and ware-koala bears are the new hot things. Major parts of the books are rescoped.
9). When your team is 80% done with your chapter, an editor realizes an important portion of your chapter was not done properly but the person who worked on that has left the company. They scramble to get a new person, don't train them, and have them fix that portion in a completely half-cooked way, which causes major problems when book 4 is started.
8). The company realizes that a competitor is going to publish a 10 book series and the first one is coming out 3 months before yours gets to market. The scope is changed to get your book out the door sooner.

Would you enjoy being a writer in this situation? Do any of the qualities you imagine a happy writer/musician has in their work exist in this scenario? Sadly, I imagine there are people who churn out stuff like this (e.g. Mills and Boon Romance Novels, Top 40 Songs) because they have to.
It's one area where punishment might actually serve as a deterrent. I really am all for holding public servants to very strict standards, not least where security is concerned.

If it were common knowledge that your cavalier disregard of prescribed rules would see you on the street within ten minutes of it being discovered, I'm sure it would sharpen the attention of some, and get rid of others.
That's opposition to one extreme of the spectrum, which doesn't necessarily place him at the (perceived) other end.
