It's been obvious for a while now, but I think this pretty much seals it: the smartwatch category is basically the iPod redux; there's no viable competition to the Apple Watch.
Nowhere in that link does single-parenting affects educational outcomes.
Thanks for shedding more light on this.
No no no, the point is that the jobs aren't useless _locally_, in that my most local store cannot fire their advertising department, but they are still useless _globally_, in that the sheer scale of resources poured into creating the advertisements to compete with other stores is zero-sum.

$1 of banana advertising does not generate >$1 of banana purchasing _overall_, though it may _take_ >$1 of banana purchasing from a different store. No meaningful value was created for society.

There's a degree to which advertising is educating consumers as to where they can get bananas. The cost required to fulfil that is significantly lower than the actual cost of the advertising industry, because the advertising industry effectively generates other jobs in the advertising industry to compete with itself, as our competing banana establishments both pour more and more of their money into advertisement, because if they don't they lose sales to their competitors. Because more advertising is needed, more advertisers are needed - but the market isn't expanding, or rather, it isn't expanding even a fraction as quickly as the advertising industry.

So we end up in this absurd position where we spend _so many resources_ advertising bananas, when we could spend a tiny fraction and get the same result - no, a _better_ result. Estimates suggest that 40%+ of all bananas are simply wasted, because they don't fit the aesthetically pleasing, advertisable profile of an "expected" banana. Because competition is so tight, and so many resources are put not into the intrinstic complexity of selling bananas, but into the "bullshit" systems surrounding it, we have a waste _floor_ of 40%, even before considering the direct cost of the advertising industry supporting bananas.

And that's bananas. That's one fruit. The whole market is like this, to varying degrees, where entire industries only exist to support other industries, which only exist to deal with the problems they cause. It's bullshit - not in the sense that any one company can just fire all the worthless people, because obviously it's more complicated than that, but in the sense that we have vast chunks of human productivity going into tasks which do not benefit _anybody_. We are burning our finite resources out advertising bananas while at the same time facing down the impending crisis of climate change and asking ourselves where we could possibly make the efficiency improvements necessary to save our species.

I don't know either - but let's start with the bananas.
A lot of assumptions there to justify using JWT tokens. Unfortunately I can't allow someone that is blacklisted to use the service for X seconds.
If someone has physical access, isn't it considered compromised anyway?
Putting aside the lithium mining myths (it works via brine evaporation making it damn clean compared to most mining) less storage is needed than you think thanks to wind power. Actual voltage stabilization requires shockingly little of energy storage compared to the size of the grid as demonstrated by the Australian battery project generating millions per day via stabilization services and doing it so quickly it outran the instability detection.

Wind turbines actually produce more power at night - as to be expected with wind being caused by temperature differentials. Texas for one has a lot of wind power to grid export thanks to its geography.

And even if you don't do any bussiness with them.
Oracle can sue anyone, they sue a lot.
Like most companies they only do so if they think they can make a profit.

They could sue you, with a higher chance of winning, for using a python, a js or a ruby than for using OpenJDK derived code.
Lack of thread safety leads to undefined behavior when you have nontrivial mutations to value types with tearing. That has nothing to do with some abstract notion of thread safety, nor does it have anything to do with Rust. It's a very straightforward consequence of the failure of (for example) things like bounds checking, or interpreting an integer as a pointer.

Record types with fields that don't depend on one another, strings and (fixed-size) arrays only support "uninteresting" mutations that remain valid even in the presence of atomic tearing. They are restricted compared to the general value types that you can have in a language like C++ (for example, sum types, unions, "fat objects" like Go's interfaces, or vectors with dynamic lengths), because for the latter having a write tear can lead to undefined behavior (for instance, overwriting a value vector can lead to the pointed-to vector part temporarily having a different length than the length field would indicate, which can easily lead to a buffer overflow).

The memory safe fragment of D has similar restrictions on its value types to the above. For example, its value arrays must have a size known at compile time.

Of course you can support such features in the unsafe fragment of a language. However, this is a pretty significant deterrent to actually using the feature and idiomatic code will avoid it most of the time.
I'm pretty sure it's an American thing. Where I'm from it's been a short 1 to 2 hour interviews spread across a week or two. Similar to what you're used to I'm sure.

The downside of the American model is that it's fatiguing having to audition for an entire day. On the plus side, once the day's up you usually know there and then whether you've got the job or not.
I would expect transparent society would be a very different society, whether it worse, I'm not sure. I hate having to keep secret because it inconvenient and costly but unfortunately in today society is necessary.
I've observed a dearth of videos going into technical detail about why the "busted" things will succeed. I'd like to see them.

Thunderf00t does have a great track record in predicting the failure of many pipe dream techs including solar roadways and fontus and waterseer and that thorium car. Who exactly is qualified to do so? Basically anybody with a cursory understanding of physical forces and skepticism, which he has.

I'm not sure why you set the bar so high for reasonable skepticism informed by very, very basic physics
Please don't challenge Google in that way.
Imagine working in a huge corporation. So large that you have 25 levels of managers above you. Imagine doing an absolutely great job day after day, being loved by colleagues and you manager. Imagine the oaf 25 levels up saying up front with no knowledge about you, your work or even the existance of your department telling you that you don’t deserve a raise no matter what you do. I’m certain that you and your manager and colleagues will all continue working at peak efficiency....
But are the students who meet with alumni a representative sample? If I were a socially inept applicant I would take my chances without the interview.
> A complaint we hear from Triplebyte candidates is being asked how likely they would be to accept an offer before knowing the actual offer details. The reality is that compensation details are a large factor in where people decide to work and you can't expect someone to know if they want to work for you without giving them that data.

The numerical salary shouldn't be the deciding factor. I want to know if you're interested in the work that you'll be doing and the team you'll be working with. I don't want you to think, "man I wasn't going to go there but they offered a huge salary!".

Of course the salary is relevant, but I want to know that we're just negotiating on the number, and not number+job.

Are you interested in the work that we'll be doing? Yes? Good, is this number high enough to make it worth your while? No? Ok, well that was the highest I could go, so thanks for your time.
Why should we care about the total? EU and US are different sizes to begin with. Per capita seems to be appropriate here.

Presumably your bank wasnt aggregating all your check's memos to sell to some other adtech firm. The more accurate whoever is aggregating your data is, the more that data is worth.

Also, no clue is venmo is actually doing that.
That alone doesn't allow cross-site tracking. You need a way to identify that the person on one site is the same person on another site, which is the role the third-party cookie plays. Firefox is eliminating the third-party cookie, and working to eliminate cookie-less fingerprinting techniques as well. Who hosts the information is not the concern.
This needs to be transitive or it won’t work. It’s trivial to set up a front which complies and subcontract everything to the old (but perhaps renamed) company that does not.

"Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think" by Hans Rosling, et al is a great book that's relevant to this subject.
During training I underwent at Bigcorp about how to run an interview, this was one of the things we were explicitly told not to ask about in any way shape or form.

We were located in one of the best school districts in the area - we could mention that fact, but we could not ask if they had kids or were planning to have kids or expected kids. Nothing about kids.
Seems high-risk to me: All Facebook needs to do is set up a redirector that isn't at a domain considered "Facebook", and include a tracking ID in the redirector URL, and they'll be able to try and de-anonymize your non-"Facebook" container when your tracker-laden link opens in it.
I don't think this is a constructive answer, considering my arguments in previous comment.
Where in that link does the case for single-parenting causing poor outcomes get made? Why is pointing to a spreadsheet sufficient evidence for a complex outcome?

This and the other sibling comments seem focused on single-parenting and not the rest of the GP argument (which I still maintain is unsupported).
Doxxing everyone will have wildly disparate impacts. How many dead domestic abuse victims is it worth to achieve your ends?
One word: uMatrix. NoScript lacks control on per-site basis, but is still ok.
Also, "LEGO Technic" is an ill-defined term. The various kits contain an repertoire of custom pupose-designed pieces whose category appears to be open-ended. It seems that almost any conceivable chunk of plastic whatsoever (or perhaps another material) could be included a "LEGO Technic" kit. Thus if something is built out of "LEGO Technic", what exactly does that mean? It needs to be qualified, like built only with the pieces available in a particular kit available to consumers (as many instances of that kit as required).
My favorite revolutions in history have occurred when there is a mismatch between rising expectations and a grim lagging reality. Millennials were raised to have higher expectations than perhaps any other generation before them, and yet most of them feel like the reality of day to day life is headed in the opposite direction. We'll see what happens but the ingredients historically necessary for domestic revolution are certainly present.
There is only one nuclear power plant in California (Diablo Canyon) and it is scheduled to be decommissioned without a replacement.
That might be a possibility, but I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that it is actually pretty pathetic we have to import power to make up our energy needs at all.

When I last looked at the stats a few years ago we were importing about 30% of our power from other States and it was trending upwards.
Hey I'm all for social change when it comes to repressed/marginalized people and even wealth redistribution, but I just don't think we can escape BS as discussed in TFA.

It’s also distracting even if doesn’t obscure what I am looking at. Sudden unexpected movement in my peripheral vision! It’s one of the worst web design trends. The iOS Safari bar is done right, at least.
The Wikipedia article on the topic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipple_shield mentions that the ISS has 100 different kinds of shields on various parts of it -- presumably Soyuz doesn't have one thanks to its quite different launch and re-entry needs.
I've started thinking more seriously about this as well.

When we're home, we like to think there is this whole wide world "out there". Behind the walls that surround us, is this world full of events and good things and bad things.

Yet in actuality, it is all mind. And much of this mind (ie. memory) is not of having actually visited those places or experienced those events -- it's information that we were just fed (images, videos, myths and beliefs).

It got me thinking about this saying "your body is what you put in it". Likewise then, "your world (and thus all your hopes and dreams) is what you put in it".

I mean, I used to think this was some kind of New Age / pop psychology, like "positive thinking".

But it isn't. By acknowledging the actual nature of this world right now, which is mostly in my mind right here as I type this message... then the validity of this becomes more evident. Everything I think, everything I do, comes from this internal map of self and of the world...

>"The majority of the world runs Debian or they run their own kernel," Kroah-Hartman said. "Debian was not allowed to be part of the disclosure, so the majority of the world was caught with their pants down, and that's not good."

Is there any actual statistics to back this up? I feel like RHEL and to a lesser extent CentOS have a stranglehold on the big enterprise-y environments, and I see Ubuntu basically everywhere else, and Canonical does their own kernels.

Edit: To be clear, I am aware Ubunbtu is a Debian derivative, but since we're talking specifically about who was informed for kernel level mitigations, and Canonical does their own kernels, it seems weird to talk about how Debian wasn't informed and thus people were affected, when Ubuntu being updated wasn't reliant on Debian being updated.

Breath and depth of responsibility, and rapid growth in your responsibilities. I can't pay you as much, but I can put as the lead on our main product, and when you go for your next job, you can point at that and say, "I lead the team that made that happen".

I wonder if this is also a result of simple career progression.

How do people go up the ladder if there's already people at the top? With people living longer, more women working, etc the organization has to create more positions at the top or lose talent?

I hope so badly they build a phone that actually fits the human hand. This used to actually be a selling feature that they produced TV ads around.
All the arguments for large screens on phones are always so lame. Use a laptop if you need productivity or watch an actual TV for video, I want a real mobile device that fits in my pocket.
If our standard is every little bit helps, then how about a midfield helipad? Could probably deliver a dozen spectators and double as pregame entertainment.
It really reads that way. Stuff like this makes me think it is:

> " F-35 test teams rated this a Category I “High” deficiency, but the Board downgraded it to Category II “High,” without any indication of whether plans exist to correct it."

So they're both "High" but one group thought it was Category I and the other thought it was Category II? There's never been a disagreement about issue severity in the history of any development project, that's for sure.
Thanks for your interest! Most of our volunteer opportunities are in-person (in-person teaching, mentoring students at Hackathons, hosting field trips to your office, etc.).. but one way someone could help remotely is contributing to https://popcode.org . This is an open-source HTML/CSS/JavaScript editor that we use in our classrooms, developed by a A+ volunteer in NYC. There's a whole list of issues that someone could work on for us, which would help us have even better tools with which to teach in schools: https://github.com/popcodeorg/popcode/issues

The output of a nuclear reactor isn’t waste, it is fuel for a different kind of reactor. If we built those reactors (called a breeder reactor) then we could safely and economically use that fuel, recycling so much that the actual waste would go from tons of material filling Olympic class swimming pools, to a few barrels. Nuclear power, done properly, is the cleanest source of energy we have.

Why don’t we? Politics and the lack of military uses.

Sorry to hear this. It's pathetic alright. Total prioritization failure.

I'm convinced that if some objective 'progress bar' existed, constantly put in front of the public's mind by media or by government diktat - then a firehose of resources would be put at the disposal of R&D, like X-Prizes for medical enterprises.

Hey this is JT, Tuft & Needle co-founder. Firstly, thanks for all your support and please send any feedback or thoughts any time. I'm at jt@tn.com.

Since we started Tuft & needle in 2012, we've been bootstrapped and have been growing very fast while being profitable. We didn't view this merger as something that we needed to do. But it was something that we knew if done right and everything aligned with our goal of completely disrupting (converting it to being customer focused) the mattress industry from beginning to end, we would do it.

This wasn't a typical acquisition. Tuft & Needle combining with Serta Simmons was a merger operationally, legally, and financially. My co-founder Daehee and I structured the deal with Serta Simmons in such a way that we would have maximum impact towards accelerating the transformation of the industry. Daehee and I will be joining the executive team of the combined company, leading with the goal of both internal and external transformation. Our team in Phoenix will be not only be focused on growing Tuft & Needle, but also for dusting off Serta Simmons' other brands and implementing everything that we've learned and built to the other brands.

Regarding quality, what's really exciting for us is that through this merger we will be able to accelerate our product, feature and service roadmaps for Tuft & Needle. What we could do in 5 years we can now do it almost immediately. Specifically regarding quality and pricing, this is actually best case scenario for our customers, because we'll have access to more efficiencies to make our value and innovations even better.

Again, thanks for your support. This is going to take a lot of time and a lot of work. What we expected and hoped from our customers is cautious optimism that we can then validate and prove over the coming years that this merger was definitely the greatest step we could have taken for our customers and the market as a whole.
But then again, from that report, most are fossil fuel producing companies. So one would imagine that less fossil fuel demand would reduce the impact of those companies and have an even more important effect on CO2 emissions
I think it might prove something more specific: is the cost as cheap as they claim? If so, it can be scaled up by building more, cheaper tunnels. Even if stations are the main cost, this might change the architecture.

As proof it only goes so far because each site is different, but it's a step towards justifying their claims.

As for crowding out, I haven't seen any other mass transit projects delayed because of them. Have you?
I'm not a Brad Pitt, are you? Is there even such a thing in engineering?
I guess it depends on how you define limited. But regardless, the minor low-observability upgrades in the Superhornet were insufficient to make it survivable.
"Fail, fail, fail - and laugh about it."

One not only needs a tolerance for failure, but a tolerance for humiliation. Some native speakers will treat people with a poor grasp of their language as if they were children or idiots.

I've definitely acquired a lot more empathy for people who struggle with English once I tried my own rudimentary language skills in other countries. These people who have difficulty putting together a few words in English might actually be far more intelligent and educated than the native speakers they're trying to communicate with, yet they're often looked down upon.
That depends on how you do it.

I have co-workers who work on a big intranet web application that runs on IIS, and they never touch it.

They recently finally switched to git for source control, and they want to do everything via GUI. I've tried to show them how some things are just easier/better from the command line, but if something isn't doable via GUI, they won't do it. One of them keeps committing line endings differently than everyone else, and he literally won't run git config --global core.autocrlf true because... I dunno why. He just doesn't want to, because it's the command line.

> How have we gotten this far into the comments without anyone mentioning the root cause here is a general shortage of housing in places people want to live / work / visit?

There is plenty of housing in many cities where Airbnb is detrimental to the quality of life. We have an Airbnb flat in our building and we had one in the last one I was in. In both cases we had breakins, damage done to the house, garbage left etc.

We're in a residential, non-touristy area. Both those airbnb flats in question were not welcome by renders or owners in the house.
It's close. My point is that we need a clear definition of what's fair to start from. And it has to be a definition that is satisfactory to most people.
