iirc one purpose of food cravings is that the body knows, to a good extent, which foods contain which critical/currently-lacking nutrients, and that taste is one way for it to sense that. I wonder how reducing the role of taste will affect that. It might still be possible for the nutrients to be determined via the stomach, I guess, but taste/smell are good sensory pathways for quick chemical composition analysis (if I understand that correctly).

Yup. That's the catch right there - practically speaking, and on a commercial scale, glass bottles aren't reusable. At least, not anymore. Over the past couple decades, a lot of barriers have been put up to prevent the re-use of glass containers: Local bottling facilities have consolidated into regional ones, the number of different brands of beverage available on store shelves has increased enormously, many areas have passed laws that outright ban the reuse of glass containers, glass containers are no longer manufactured to be durable enough for repeated use, they now come in far too wide a variety of shapes to work well with sanitization equipment, etc etc.

A simple ban on plastic bottles would address none of this. You'd have to look at the big picture to be sure you can achieve good results.

I'd wager that we'd get much better results by instead introducing a tax on, say, every beverage container that enters the waste stream. Or, maybe easier to enforce, that cannot be proven not to have entered the waste stream. That would be a single legislative string to pull that would give the industry a strong economic incentive to address all (or at least most) of the real causes of the problem.

Is the MFT even documented and available via APIs on Windows? Could NTFS (at the expense of losing backwards compatibility in the file system (which already only extends to features that have been there before)) just change how the MFT works transparently for well-behaved applications (i.e. those that do not grovel around in undocumented data structures)? Admittedly, there may still be a number of applications that decide to »optimize« a system by digging around in parts that they have reverse engineered, and those might simply corrupt the file system when running on a newer NTFS version, but I guess that problem may have existed previously as well.
I'm not sure it makes sense to model companies as moral agents in the same way you would individuals, especially when you're talking about unintuitive moral reasoning that leans heavily on individual feeling, like the Haifa daycare study. Hell, I thought it was a pretty common belief around here (and more broadly) to model corporations as amoral utility-maximizers, in which case a fine is the central way of aligning incentives (for non-criminal actions).

But I do agree with your other points. Kubernetes introduces a lot of moving parts, even if the minikube interface is relatively straightforward. Over the years, experience has taught me that black boxes don't stay opaque for long - something breaks and you ultimately have to learn the internals, usually in an emergency break/fix scenario. At FAANG, the gave teams who's specialism is running those sorts of orchestration systems.

I trust systems I understand, and magic scares me.
Yep, going to a showroom convinced me that a Volt was a good decision. I think they're both great cars, but I actually prefer Android Auto and the fit and finish of the Volt. That said I'd probably buy a Model 3 today since the part supply chain of the Volt will probably be drying up in the next decade (it's been discontinued).
Even more worrying is the prospect that they'll use their profit to lobby for regulation that aligns with their goals under their "non-profit ethical framework", shutting out any would-be competitors who have a different take. If they get big enough it is inevitable. This is overall a gross move that leaves a seriously bad taste. I hope no one takes their ethical arguments seriously as they pursue this path - doing so will endanger the industry.

> part of that formula from the beginning has been the agility to about-face and react quickly to new data.

It's been just a week since the announcement. The only new data that could have come out in that time frame is data on the order of "you should have predicted this" (or explosive revelations that were being held for this sort of announcement, which we would have heard about already and have not). In other words, it means that the original plan was based on incomplete data, and it does not reflect well on the CEO, or whomever was in charge of the final decision, that they were making such a major decision in ignorance of details.
In most of your examples except the Amazon one (and, maybe, the ASPCA one), the person being "exploited" is worse off afterwards.

You are equivocating on two subtly different definitions of exploit: the bad one where you abuse someone (the hacker exploits your carelessness... to hurt you), and the neutral one (exploiting a resource).

In your Amazon warehouse example, people in the area are better off than they would have been without the warehouse.
The "Microsoft has changed" is a well coordinated marketing ploy, probably their biggest achievement of the last 10 years. And these days it's actually pretty hard to distinguish the shills from the fanboys that genuinely believe that they changed.

There's something about computing that makes us want to cheer for these big companies as if they are sports teams, no matter how many times they screw us.

But for the uninitiated the biggest problem for some time has been that Microsoft was and still is a big patents troll. They also continued fighting open standards such as the OpenDocument format, even under Satya Nadella. To their credit they did join the Open Invention Network, but it's still unclear what parts of a Linux OS are covered and what aren't. The FSF rightly asked for clarifications on whether the multimedia components are covered and to my knowledge there have been no clarifications thus far.

But forget the years of trolling Android phone vendors with patents such as for the FAT filesystem, here's a story from 2017: http://techrights.org/2017/02/27/microsoft-novell-v2-via-azu...

> "Investing in making Edge work like Chrome (more important to developers and consumers than your ideological quandries with Google owning the web will ever be)"

That's incredibly naive. First of all they aren't "making Edge work like Chrome", that's an overstatement, the new Edge is going to be only a shell on top of Chromium and nothing more.

Microsoft adopting Edge is either them throwing the glove and admitting that they can't develop a browser, or them pulling another embrace, extend and extinguish. After all, as we've established already, they don't really like that users have a choice when it comes to the browsers they use. This is important to mention, because even for the Chrome fans out there, Edge switching to Chromium provides the perfect opportunity to disallow alternatives on top of Windows. This is just a possibility mind you, when it is far more likely that Microsoft will simply place Edge on life support.

In either case, whether they end up contributing to Chrome's ecosystem, or not, consumers lose for a myriad reasons. And heralding this move as something good is ignorance for
the whole history of computing.
I don't work at AWS any longer, not that it's relevant.
You nailed it. Anyone who thinks they're out in front of this industry just because they believe with all their heart their abstract word-salad mission statement belongs to a cult.
We know that excessive porn consumption is bad. We know that excessive cell phone use is bad. We know that excessive single use plastics are bad. You don't need a research study to confirm these things the same way you didn't really did a research study to know that smoking was bad. We all feign ignorance because we want to keep doing the thing that's convent or feels good.

Global warming is such a great example. Instead of doing anything we all argue about what's really causing it. Some people say it's a natural cycle, some people blame it on cars, some people want to blame it on livestock. It doesn't really matter. In fact, I hope somehow the "climate deniers" end up being right. I really, genuinely hope, that we find out that the rise in CO2 is part of a natural cycle. Because then there's a real sense of urgency. Reduced consumption is no longer a single solution. If it's part of a natural cycle we have to reduce consumption to zero immediately AND find a way to remove CO2 form the atmosphere or we will just be the next victim of mass extinction.

For a lot of problems the exact cause doesn't matter because we already know what the solution is. We just have to accept the fact that solution is bundled with a bunch of other things, and if we do them all we might accidentally do something excessive, like make the air cleaner in the process.

The other thing these posts confuse me about is that a single auto-scaling group and load balancer isn't much more difficult to set up or maintain, and if you're already in the low traffic world, it's barely more expensive, all for the vastly improved ability to respond to things breaking that you didn't expect.

I used Blender to edit videos back around 2010. Even then it was amazingly simple once you got the basic concepts down. Like 'g' to grab/move a video clip, simple things like that.

While rendering those videos I remember just being dumbstruck at how much you could really accomplish in Blender. You didn't really need much more even to be a professional video editor.

The trade-off that never seems to go away, though, with any software, is that in order to avoid all "bugs" [in common parlance, just things the software won't let you do], you need to know a tiny bit about video and audio codecs, the basics of how compression works, frame rates, and what kind of file at which dimensions your customer / delivery target needs. This eliminates like 99% of the quality problems that people will report with their exported videos: Doesn't play in my client's video software, etc.

Questions for anyone who may know:

Is ASMR, or rather the sensation of it related to, or are there any parallels between ASMR and white noise?

I ask as someone who doesn't really get much from common things I see labelled as "ASMR triggers", in fact in some cases quite the opposite (audio clips of deep whispering directly into a microphone for example-make me deeply uncomfortable and want to be removed as quickly as possible from the audio source-yet this is a deeply popular ASMR trigger for others-which is fine)-leading me to think I might be one of those people with a mild case of undiagnosed misophonia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia), yet static noise (white, brown, pink) are absolute musts for sleep because of a severe case of fully-diagnosed tinnitus.

There's no tingly feelings or emotional responses, the white noise just effectively masks the ringing-which in a well insulated and quiet enough room, can be (paradoxically) deafening.

You don't need to carry a phone with you everywhere you go all the time and keep it in your pocket. Hell, a lot of phones don't even fit in pockets anymore. You can keep it on your desk or in your bag. You can even do something crazy like leave it at home or in your car and go to the beach. You probably won't die. And because you live in a world with other people in it, it's possible that if you do set your phone down for a little bit and you have a medical emergency someone else could call for you.
I agree wholeheartedly. I've always loved this poem. I think a lot of the values it presents are sadly lost in today's culture - we're in a post-chivalric era alas. But these are the values I grew up with and as a result form the man I am today. This is what happens when your childhood heroes and role models come from the pages of Robin Hood, Les Miserables and The Three Musketeers.

As with all though, you either evolve or you're doomed to irrelevance. This should be a familiar concept to any programmer in the past 20 years :P

Yes, of course you are correct. I did mean consumer routers.
Depends, people seem to appreciate being surrounded by green stuff for esthetic reasons. And there also positive side effects on air quality. You can actually improve air quality in a lot of buildings simply by doing some indoor/vertical farming. IMHO it would improve most offices I've been in. Also more green outdoors, would probably be not a bad idea in many cities. I was debating this with a friend some time ago while looking at the blank wall of an apartment across his street. Unused vertical space blasted by the sun most of the day. It gets hot indoor because of that. A layer of green would definitely help. Add water and nutrients and you have a farm waiting to happen. Also, it might look pretty and provide some space for birds and other critters.

The point being here is that this is not a zero sum game; there are many benefits to growing stuff other than producing food.

A lot of the vegetables grown in Dutch greenhouses mentioned in the article are actually exported; though other countries are starting to do the same now.

This area here is the most well known and largest greenhouse area in the Netherlands (and probably world wide). It's comparatively tiny (about 100 square KM). https://www.google.com/maps/@51.986133,4.233423,25389m/data=...
https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/spaceimages/details.php?id=PIA21986

The reason greenhouses are used there is because they produce way more per square meter than traditional farms can. That and access to cheap gas decades ago caused a boom in greenhouses to happen. Currently many of these greenhouses are switching from gas to clean energy. Over the last 4-5 decades, local farmers have optimized their production and they now run very efficiently.

The Netherlands is (by far) the largest exporter of tomatoes world wide. Most of those are grown in these and similar facilities as well as many other crops (i.e. this is not dedicated to just tomatoes). It's a vastly more efficient way to use land. The point here is that it doesn't take much space to feed a city.

I haven't read any of your other posts and my comments were not directed to you in particular. You're really making my point. If cloud formation templates work then great. I don't know its limitations. I do know that kubernetes has become a standard for orchestration and that it becomes easier over time to manage. A couple years ago there was no support from AWS so maybe not the time to jump in. Likewise with Kafka. Cool tech but really expensive to manage. Now AWS and Confluent will manage so the costs have come way down.
I'll be honest, I think you'd be surprised just how many women are more of a man than most men are.

Having grown up as the child of a single mother, I don't think many men ever stop to think where we'd be without them. It's not a place I'd care to exist.

Most men are only as successful as they are because they had a loyal and dependable partner at their side to help propel them there - if by nothing more than taking care of all the shit they have no time for while they're so busy chasing their success. I wonder how many men would be half as successful without their partners supporting them and encouraging them forward.

This pokes at one of my suspicions: Personally, I agree that SPAs are way more complicated and heavyweight than you need for most sites. And they do seem to require a lot of code up-front.

But it's also true that I see a lot of dissatisfaction around the long-term maintainability of doing things in basic HTML/CSS. And I'm not aware of any compelling options that give you better better modularity, but aren't some super heavy-handed SPA-centric framework like React.
