You didn't provide a rationale for your position, and I don't think you have one. You just get squeamish thinking about this stuff.

For stuff like that there's nothing a paramedic will do that someone with basic first aid can't do. Until the victim is in surgery, there isn't a whole lot to do. Staunch the bleeding. Put the severed finger on ice. That's about it. Maybe you don't have much experience working in factories and shops where these sorts of accidents happen several times a year, but it's a gross overreaction to call medical professionals in. Once, in this shop this guy was cleaning out a paint mixer, and it somehow turned on while he had his arm in there. The mixing blade ripped his arm open, down to the bone from his shoulder to his wrist. We called an ambulance for that. What a mess, lol.
There is also Philips 275P4VYKEB. But you need two displays ports to power it. IIRC only some new and not so adopted(both by displays and GPUs) display port standards support 5K. Apple iMac 5K uses same setup of two DPs to power display.
only $150?

you need to add professional cleaning cost and lost revenue while cleaning to the bill.

and not just professional cleaning... the injured person could've a serious illness (think HIV), so it will probably cost even more

i'd wager you'll need at least twice that amount

> ExxonMobil was established in Houston many decades ago, back when it was a crucial area for an oil company. It's not going to relocate a huge campus even if it did calculate that it can help recruitment somewhat.

Houston is still a crucial area for an oil company, and will continue to be so until the Gulf Coast fields stop producing. Their "huge, now-misplaced campus it won't relocate" is their headquarters in Irving/Las Colinas (since Dallas is no longer very important to the industry). In fact, Chevron is moving their headquarters operations to Houston.

Also, the original point was about the perceived difficulty of getting highly-paid, highly-educated people to move to "uncool" places. This is only relevant if you think ExxonMobil would have chosen a different location if they got a free do-over again today.

> Moreover, not sure how many petroleum engineers Exxon is hiring,

As many as UT, TA&M, OU, and the few other schools that graduate them can pump out. I'd have to bug my wife for numbers, but I think it is in the thousands (if they can get them).

> guessing it's far fewer than the amount of software engineers Amazon is looking to hire, which is in the tens of thousands

You think Amazon is looking to increase their SWE head count by 50% or more in a short period of time? I question the "tens of thousands" assertion, as that is a fair description of the entire size of Google's software engineering population, and larger than Facebook's. Are you actually claiming Amazon is looking to hire multiple Facebooks worth of software engineers in a short period of time?

> FAANGs don't agree that they have a "false negative" problem. They think they are accepting and rejecting the right people. Right or wrong, this is their position.

Assuming your statement is correct, I would classify them as choosing beggars.

FWIW, the party line I hear from their engineers is that they know they have a problem with false negatives, but that it is OK because it is worth it to keep out the false positives. They also (sometimes) claim they have more qualified applicants than they have head count.

>and literally every one who has been complaining about Intel continues to buy Intel

While I am sure this isn't LITERALLY true, there is some truth to it. I work at a smallish company, who bought 3 new Intel servers about 5 months before Epyc servers started to be available from OEM's. We plan on adding another server to our stack next year, I would LOVE to go with Epyc, but I am locked into Intel at this point (until we decided to replace the entire stack). VMWare doesn't allow you to mix CPU architecture and maintain HA. So, we stuck buying a crappy Intel Xeon instead.

Like all great poems, there are multiple, opposite meanings built into it, held in tension by deliberately ambiguous meanings of words. Here is one set of opposites: “it made all the difference” (in the last line); This could be a good difference or a bad difference or — since, importantly, we don’t even know if the speaker will survive in the future to utter that last wistful line — a catastrophic difference.

Here’s another set of opposites: making a difference vs. not even making a difference — I’d argue that these are both possible (it’s not that one is a “popular misreading” as claimed by the article). The speaker is acknowledging that he has no really good reason, after all, for choosing one road over the other at the moment of decision; he is recognizing the bit of self-delusion he had to exercise in order to rouse himself to a decision...but that certainly doesn’t mean that it won’t indeed turn out to have “made all the difference” in the end. He and we just don’t know.

But, taking a step back, I’d argue that it isn’t even clear that the chosen road really did turn out to be “equally well traveled” (as the commentary of the article hinges on). This itself could be another bit of mild self-delusion. The speaker suffers from grass-is-greener-itis, always pining for the road not taken (it’s even in the name of the poem!). He did not choose the road he was last looking down (until it “bent into the underbrush”) because it looked too well traveled to him and he wants to be independent... but once he chooses the other road and sets out, this “other road” also begins looking too well-traveled for his taste. Chronic dissatisfaction coloring his perception? After all, his perception would have been more objective when pondering both roads equally, before investing himself in the decision. Perhaps the road taken really is less well-traveled. Again, we just don’t know the underlying reality; the poem deliberately prevents us from knowing.

I would bet that it is related to the tornado. It was pretty bad, pretty much taking out an entire Amazon warehouse in Baltimore, Maryland (outside DC) and killing 2 employees.

With that said, if this is the case, it is curious that Amazon doesn't have contingency plans in place to avoid significant disruptions in service such as extended delays. I can understand a slight hiccup/delay, but weeks seems a bit odd. Might be more going on than just the tornado issue.
In the original text, the author is using 'converting'. Note that in French, the verb convert mostly apply to religion and not to customer acquisition (at least I've never seen used in that way).

Also the title (here) is a little misleading. The author could been added to the Fiche S list [0], which is an indication for law enforcement, but not an active blacklist. I think flagged (as a threat to the national safety) would have been better.

I have a NUC7 (NUC7i5BNH) in a silent Akasa Newton case. It's great, I love having a completely silent computer.

I tested the original case, and it was fairly noisy, like a busy laptop. I don't recommend it.

You may find it slightly cheaper if you install the RAM and SSD yourself. This would be easy with the normal case. Installing the silent case was more tricky, since it requires using thermal paste to connect the case to the CPU.

There is no contradiction between a "free market" and the government regulating the production of goods and services so that the harm caused by such production (and by the goods themselves,) is factored into the cost of production. We know (and this article is just one example of many,) that companies(and governments) will cut costs in every possible way. Whether by disposing of hazardous waste in Love Canal, the Hudson River(GE, IBM and who know who else,) or down dry wells in Phoenix, AZ(Motorola,) or buried in landfills all over the country (including Minn.,) or skimping on product safety or skimping on worker safety. While the pursuit of a Dollar, Pound, Euro or Rupee is and amazing motivating factor, regulating to mitigate the harm done is a valid government (and it is government, industry has shown itself hopeless at self-regulation without oversight,) function. This should include the global supply chain as well. Moving low cost production to Bangladesh often(always?) means low cost hazardous waste disposal.
Finally, a sensible argument.

I do think an ID that you need to have and is gvt issued should be baid by taxes. But noone likes those.
That's a bold assumption. I think that numbers have less cultural understanding needed. Letter grades are common, but not ubiquitous. Some schools just use % based "grades" and the 4.0 GPA system.

If you say "Each candidate can be given up to 5 points, or as few as 0 points. There are no limits to the number of points you can give out in total (there are X candidates, so you could give a max of [X*5] points)." you're being pretty succinct and direct in the explanation. You might need more poll workers the first few years (which will create all kinds of problems because areas attempting to minimize voter turn out can exploit that) but once it becomes common you hope that people are used to it and know how the system works
>When I was in High School, a 7 am start time required me to be awake at 5 am, which probably contributed to how miserable I felt as a teen.

In my region they've shifted school start times later to accommodate teens who have late after-school activities. The problem with this logic is that the younger the child, the more sleep they need. The shift for our local teenagers resulted in even earlier start time for elementary and middle school aged kids. Bus schedules also shifted which required me to wake my young kids even earlier (5:30 AM). Thankfully my work is flexible enough that I can drive them, which gives them an extra 30-45 min of time each morning - other parents not so lucky.

The vast majority of employees who "moved" to the new Menlo Park office were old Facebook employees who worked for them in Palo Alto right before the move.

Facebook now has an NYC office too. My uneducated guess is that their candidates now have far more options than they did 10 years ago, and more people would rather not live in SV.
Nice job, though with a few quirks that I guess will be worked out at some point.

I tried it with this C program:

int main (void)
{
puts ("hello world");
return 0;
}

Note the strange indentation of the opening brace. I got that by typing <Enter>{<Enter> after the opening brace, as I always do. Also, type names and keywords ("int", "void", "return") have no syntax highlighting in the "C, C++, C#" mode. This is unusual.

One thing that I think would be cool would be to add remarks to individual lines, although I imagine that they would be really hard to keep in sync with ever-changing code.
Oh, hush.

"Conspiracy theory material" has a strong connotation that a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators doesn't capture at all.

The connotation heavily implies that the theory is to be disregarded as ridiculous and false.

The Gmail UI refresh is so bad that it's the final straw on the camel's back to get me to swap to something else.

You would interpret it as saying that it is overpriced. A high-end GPU at the same price might make sense, but paying that much for RAM and an SSD is nonsense.

Apple is clearly pushing everything towards a more luxury high end. More than ever, they're pushing the market to see how far they can go.

> What OSes are better for a "Home Theater" TV computer

I use an Apple TV 4K. For non-netflix/hulu/primevideo stuff, it streams off a Synology NAS (using Plex or VLC for Apple TV)

edit: it's funny how your experience pretty much mirrors mine almost 10 years ago. A Mac guy outfitting a machine for a home media center. I was used to Mac media stuff always being behind on codec support and performance so I bought some HP PC. It never worked right, always had to mess around with audio outputs (HDMI audio output worked maybe once) and codec stuff kept breaking since either Windows or the Nvidia drivers hated trying to do hardware acceleration and you just got a green screen. We mostly ended up plugging in our MacBooks...

It seems like needless pedantry to argue that humans are natural and therefore human-induced global warming is natural and human-caused species extinction is also natural.

Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature : "[Nature] is often taken to mean the "natural environment" or wilderness–wild animals, rocks, forest, and in general those things that have not been substantially altered by human intervention, or which persist despite human intervention. For example, manufactured objects and human interaction generally are not considered part of nature, unless qualified as, for example, "human nature" or "the whole of nature". This more traditional concept of natural things which can still be found today implies a distinction between the natural and the artificial, with the artificial being understood as that which has been brought into being by a human consciousness or a human mind."

That Wikipedia entry even touches on observation "Bottom-line is, we as a species are governed by the same laws of physics, chemistry and biology as other species, there is nothing separating us from the rest of nature." saying "Depending on the particular context, the term "natural" might also be distinguished from the unnatural or the supernatural."

"Natural" in the context of global warming does not mean supernatural, as Arrhenius well knew when he worked out in 1896 the connection between human-caused CO2 emissions and the greenhouse effect.

If you don't want to maintain the artificially constructed delineation of "natural" vs. "human caused", then use "anthropogenic", as in "anthropogenic extinction" and "anthropogenic global warming." That will get your point across without running into problems with the widely-used interpretation of what "natural" means.

Eg, "The Scientific Case for Modern Anthropogenic Global Warming" - https://monthlyreview.org/2008/07/01/the-scientific-case-for... and "Anthropogenic extinction threats and future loss of evolutionary history in reef corals" - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3678474/ .

Even if you managed to convince everyone to use your definition of "natural", it doesn't change a thing, because what's the point? Polio is natural. Lead in the water system is natural. We don't want either of them.
That's kind like saying the internet is just Arpanet.

It about what you can do with it now that you couldn't before.
If we stretch the meaning of natural to include global warming then everything becomes natural and the distinction of man-made vs natural becomes meaningless. There’s a very important distinction and it’s between things we nominally have control over and things we have little/no control over like industrial pollution vs solar output cycles. It’s also a question of intentionality we choose to continue using (even trying to encourage in the case of some groups) the use of heavily polluting power sources like coal.

Also in response to the dinosaur example I think if they had done something like that we would speak about them very differently. I think there’s a level where when a species starts making large scale changes to their own environment that things go from being the product purely of nature to being the fault and responsibility of whatever species does it. That line is partially drawn by scale and partially by intentionality/sapience where the species can decide about what they’re doing and choose other paths.
But it does has an effect on nearsightedness.

Since the seventies nearsightedness has become an epedemic because we are reading more and more.

So it does not only apply to screen time but more general: reading time.

An eGPU is going to add $300 for an enclosure and $500 or whatever for the GPU itself, so even with that it gives you a pro desktop option priced cheaper than a Mac Pro.

Base price on the Mac Pro has been $3000 even before the trashcan version. With the pattern in all of Apple's recent products, the next one might be more.
