I feel like the juicer got traction simply because of how much MONEY they got to do it. $120 million - and the end product was okay but kind of obviously not amazing and too expensive.

That calls into question the abilities of the VCs doling out the money, which gets popular because it works as a confirming data point to peoples pre-existing cynical worldviews.
When I am objectively wrong, I want my mind to be changed. I expect this to be the case for around 10% of my ‘knowledge’, even on topics I care to educate myself about, and much worse on other issues.

Putting a link under the videos isn’t likely to achieve that, but that’s a separate issue.

The only problem I have with Google doing this, is that I trust corporations and government about the same — i.e. that both will lie and dissemble as much as they are allowed to get away with for their own or their leader’s benefit, without regard for my interests.
I'm just arguing anecdote against anecdote at this point, but I question the frequency of this, mostly because it's so absurdly expensive to tear down a house to rebuild (because you have to buy the house before you tear it down). In my experience, I see houses torn down to rebuild only to increase density (two homes replace one) or to replace with a fundamentally different type of house (3500 sq ft house replaces a 1200sq ft house, modern energy-efficient house replaces unmaintained home on the verge of falling down). The value gap between the new home(s) and old home has to be very large to justify a teardown.

To the extent that teardowns are more common in the US than the UK, I imagine it's driven mostly by the ability to massively upgrade in the process. If you live in a 150-year-old stone house in the UK that's been updated over the years so that it's got modern electrical and plumbing and already maxes out your square footage (meterage?), what would you gain by tearing down except a lot more debt and some better insulation? With that said, I think this math generally doesn't work out for Americans, either, who generally trade up homes rather than rebuild.
You can’t abstract away from the content to the pure form of an action, and then posit that there’s no observable difference between two (very much different) examples.

Ex: „If banks stop allowing strangers to withdraw money from my account, how will I ever get my money“

And, no, questions of fact aren’t different. The earth is round, not flat. One tree does not a forest make, but a thousand does. Even if we can’t agree on the specific cutoff (is 15 trees a forest? 50? 500?), that does not prevent us from accurately describing the extremes.

That's because you're watching pop-videos. There's a goldmine of educational content on YouTube which breed valuable comments. The problem isn't the concept of commenting, the problem is that shitty content attracts shitty comments.

Recovering heat from a dryer is not trivial: the output air from a dryer has a bunch of lint in it (yes, even with the lint filter in there!), so either your heat exchanger or the filter in front of it or both will get clogged pretty regularly.
If the structure of the service offering exceeds the limits of available technology, then the structure of the service is at fault and needs to change -- wishing away the bad people doesn't work, nor does pretending the issue does not exist (their current strategy) until advertisers are forced to threaten them

that truly was uncomfortable to watch, did not finish. Amazing how the human mind works that such a system came about but the algorithm that is built into youtube itself needs to be questioned.

> when Harvard University said it can't afford journal publishers' price

Harvard's endowment is, according to Wikipedia, $39.2 billion as of FY 2018. My first reflex was to say that "can't afford" must be a relative term...

A closer look at the article says: "A memo from Harvard Library ... warning it could no longer afford the price hikes imposed by many large journal publishers, which bill the library around $3.5m a year." So I could believe that the Harvard Library is given a certain budget by the main Harvard organization, and that this budget is insufficient to support that bill plus other unavoidable recurring expenses.

Love it - was a Vim user for many years before that. I will say that while the Unix-y design is really cool, the plugin system written around Unix (Bash) is a bit of a pain. You technically don't need to use bash at all, but idiomatic plugins tend too.. so.. meh.

These days I'm wanting out of the Terminal - but wherever I go, I'll need to take Kakoune's style of modal navigation with me. I love it too much.

_(For reference, I'm hoping Xi editor implements the foundation of modal editing, and then I can make Kakoune style editing work in Xi Editor)_
It would be super rad if someone plugged this dataset into CMU Sphinx. Google is the only decent ASR and a competitive open source alternative would be awesome. A big thank you to Mozilla for this dataset.
There is a such thing as a solid state heat pump which operates without refrigerants or any moving parts. They are not as efficient as regular heat pumps, though, at least currently. But maybe that could change.

Old crud apps ware probably the prime of usability. These hotel booking systems with green text terminals and hot keys for everything.

The video store where I grew up had a similar text based interface to some floppy located database for rentals. Amazingly fast and some override button to force invalid entries when someone else had messed up or something was registered wrong.

Binaries run straight from a floppy with no fancy OS to interrupt the very simple yet manually tedious things it does. Many apps today are way over cooked for what they do.
normally you can use iterators to access arrays and when you do, array bounds checks are elided.

if you can't use iterators, and you need to omit bounds checks for perf, you can do so with unsafe blocks.
(Continued...)

It is not realistic either to ask everyone and every company to rewrite all their C/C++ code in Rust. Even if it were financially doable and a rewrite were to happen, in many cases it would simply be best to move to a language like C# anyway, not Rust; for productivity reasons. Where performance allows, of course.

In my opinion, the realistic and pragmatic solution is, instead, to strive to make all languages (in particular C and C++) embrace security-first approaches/types/mechanisms like Rust does. The compiler tecnology is already written - now retrofit as much as possible into C++ (even to the point of introducing a “safe” scope if needed) and allow companies to embrace it at minimal cost and progressively.
To expand on what you're saying:

TOTP as a "something you have" approach to 2FA is entirely dependent on how well the device secures the secrets.

An RSA key's private key is (nearly?) impossible to retrieve. The Google Authenticator's TOTP keys are a bit easier. A file on a laptop is even easier.

That's the easily solution, but the easy solution is hardly ever the right one. There are plenty of reasons why commenting on videos can be useful. Lectures and other educational content typically have errors and other useful information as the top comments. Those are useful.
You certainly wouldn‘t have a node graph like this in vim, because like you are saying, it just doesn‘t work well with text.

I had a look at parallel stacks and it looks nice and seems quite helpful. But I have to think, if you have that many threads that might deadlock and it happens often, if your architecture might be the issue.

Most of our parallelism is job based. There is a job queue and worker threads are taking jobs from it. So deadlocks are pretty much a non issue for us.

I‘m not trying to say that everything you‘re doing is obviously wrong, but the older I get the more suspicious I‘m getting if there‘s a need for „fancy“ debugging tools, because it might mask that there are some more serious issues in the application.
Thank you! I'm one of the cofounders— keeping LoC low was one of our primary measures of code quality.

Agreed. I'd worked in the Coffeescript compiler so it was "boring" for me, but you should pick whatever's "boring" for you— likely not Coffeescript

If UC’s policy goal is open access for public-funded research, eventually (whether they have a deal with publishers providing blanket terms for this or not), they are presumably going to adopt (or be part of convincing some public funding authorities to adopt) a policy with either concrete disincentives or an outright prohibition on research with certain funding sources being published in a way which doesn't provide open access.

Without using any category, topology of sheaf theory, this is what I believe is in this paper:

(1) the prior hypothesis is that data points in R^n are a sample from a uniform distribution in a Riemann space.

(2) Try to define a Riemann metric such that the number of sample points in any ball B is propotional to the volume of B.

(3) Since (2) doesn't define a global Riemann metric, they define a fuzzy membership relation. I suppose the role of the fuzzy tool is that local distance information is weighted according to the variance of the local distance
estimations.

Disclaimer, I could be completely wrong.

What do you mean exactly by "financed" in this statement? It feels like you're using it in a technical way, such as thinking of the purchase as having its cost spread over multiple time periods.
I'm of the opinion that humans crave to solve problems in one form or another. That can be in business, family, etc. In tech we solve physical problems. A mother or father solves the even more complicated problem of how to raise a child. It is a life changing event.

So by being so successful you have conquered many problems. But also taken away a necessary source of well being. It's time for a challenge.
Of course, every authority since the beginning of civilization has carried this mantle in justification for censorship of all sorts. Having Google decide what information can and can't be shared on their platform (read: utility) is a dangerous state of affairs. What new social movement, or recognition of a current injustice will be stifled due a status-quo bias that is codified by such top down control over the media? We can't know from where we currently stand, which is what makes such control dangerous.
And go to who?
No, we have a propane fireplace that used to heat the whole house (terribly inefficient, the previous owners used it as a summer-only property) and we now run that just on colder evenings to make the house a bit cozier. We also live way out on a dead-end of the grid, so outages are common and sometimes long enough to need backup heat to keep the pipes unfrozen.

I also eventually want to swap out my electric stove with propane, though my last experience with induction stoves has me considering them too. Electric conduction stoves just aren't fun to cook on...

I'd love to convert the fireplace to run on hydrogen that I create myself via electrolysis one day (and have 0 emission tiki torches on the porch) but I'm not sure how safely I could pull that off! It's a bit of a moot point until I get solar installed anyways, since my power isn't coming from a clean source as it is.
Coobjc: Coroutine Support for Objective-C and Swift
I consider myself quite a quick learner, having undergone a total career switch only after a year and a half while having a full-time work, and being successful ever since. What helped me was:

1. Consistency. Do it. Schedule it.

2. Be comfortable with 'I don't know yet'.

3. Learn to use your emotions. For example, fear is a huge driver for me. The thought of 'what happens if I can't figure this out?!' has been probably the number 1 driver for me, and has gotten me through a number of tough times.

4. It helps if you're surrounded by bright people. Switching to an engineering field even as a person who's never done any programming will be much easier from within Google than from within your grocery local store. If you can get this privilege, i.e. get into the company that is predominantly focused on the type of a career you'd like to get into, use the people. Ask questions. Ask for resources. They'll help you.

I found the article extremely simplified. I don't think it's a clear progression path, when it comes to learning. I feel like learning wrong things and then having to re-learn it is a huge part of mastering a subject.

Wanted to pull this out as (IMO) the most important part of your comment. There's nothing for the police to go after, because nothing illegal was happening here. The videos themselves were 100% benign, and while the comments were creepy and awful, they were also free speech.
There is no financial incentive for Google to do this, so they won't. Googles job is making money for shareholders, not making the world a better place.

In the 1990s I might have been sympathetic to insisting on the name "East Turkestan" and being idealistic about an end to the Chinese presence there. However, as I have seen personally from traveling in the region, China simply moved too many Han people into it already. That’s that, it’s over. The situation would nearly be like insisting that Kaliningrad is rightfully German after the Soviet Union managed to change its population demographics overwhelmingly and obscure so much of its pre-Soviet history.

Airlines also often hide seat availability on booking sites (including their own) for various reasons. expertflyer.com's paid account permits you to see actual seat availability. Especially when booking international flights for the family, I'll cross-check seat availability on expertflyer.com. If they show better seats available than the booking site, I'll book the flight and then immediately call the airline's customer service to request a change in seat assignment. It's never failed, but even if it fails you often have 24 hours to cancel a reservation free of charge.[1]
