I got more on a soap box there because I lost my cool a bit. But yea, sales and clearances were our vital methods of staying within budget. Hell, there was one week I survived on a 96 cent clearance bag of assorted bread from Walmart.

But one of the other things that’s getting lost is the human element. It seems like if it’s not on the internet, it doesn’t exist or is unattainable. I developed relationships with farmers and some businesses to get the undesirable pickings or overflow at a lower price. Nothing wrong with them or even spoiled. Think of, ever seen a really ugly ass strawberry? Most packagers don’t accept them because of stupid public perception. Or they just sneak one or two in. You can get those really damn cheap from a grower. Or slightly over ripe for even cheaper or free. Then you learn how to make your own preserves out of them. Some farmers markets have end of weekend sell offs too. Super cheap on all the leftovers that haven’t sold. I’m pretty sure you can do the same with a supermarket if you get to know the right people. But I never tried a big box market.

But also, bagel shops and Panera, make friends with the night crew. You can get some of the days unsold baked goods for free or for 5 bucks. But people just refuse to know others and that’s being considered “okay”.

It’s not. I’m introverted too. It’s not okay to hide from society and run away from relationships.

I’m in tech now. Tech is great and all... but it’s so damn silly to imagine that an internet company can save poor people somehow with their service. Same with the logic of bitcoin saving those without access to “fiat currency”. If ya don’t have access to a dollar, ya don’t really have access to the internet, let alone a computer.

I live 1.4 miles from the grocery store I visit. It’s still smart to only shop once a week. It’s the death by a million papercuts in finance. If you go too often, your likelihood of buying things you don’t truly need goes up. That’s bad for your budget. Plus think, your mob/demob time at a grocery store is always about 5 min. Finding a parking spot, walk into the store, ring up, cash out, walk to the car, load groceries, leave parking lot. That doesn’t include actual shopping or travel to the store. It’s only 20min once a week for me to get groceries, roughly. You can spend way more than that, in time per week, if you go to the store to pick up as you need. Just in time inventory works fine for stores. But not really for people. It’s scary where your time sinks are when you track your time.

Pricing for Domain Name Registrations and Registry Services (Section 2.10 of the .org renewal agreement): In alignment with the base registry agreement, the price cap provisions in the current .org agreement, which limited the price of registrations and allowable price increases for registrations, are removed from the .org renewal agreement.
That’s not how public companies work. CEO compensation is determined by the board and the board is elected by the shareholders. If a CEO makes a lot of money, it’s because the owners of the company think it’s worth the money.

I work in finance and your buddy buddy old boys club isn’t true. Shareholders want as much money as possible and the relationship between them and management is often antagonist: many a CEO are laid out to dry every year by investors.

As such, there’s only one reason why Bob Iger gets paid so much: because he’s generated tremendous value for shareholders over the years and the shareholders want to incentize him to keep generated value.
Visual Studio Code on macOS right now has broken font rendering, since it uses Skia via Electron instead of macOS' native font rendering.

It's fixed in upstream Electron but until a fixed version is integrated into VSCode I have to live with (months of) broken font rendering.

It even makes me want to use Xcode somewhat. For all its flaws, its font rendering is just the system (working) one, and scrolling in Xcode is actually smooth 60fps instead of the laggy mess that is VSCode.
That's one of the uses of thinking, yes, but it's hardly the only one, unless by some procrustean method you force all my thoughts to 'really' be about the future. In which case I'd say the statement is close to devoid of meaning.

Furthermore, thinking and consciousness is not the same thing.

This article offends me, a lot, but I personally feel that art auctions (I presume that the brokers of which are your target here) are, for the most part, okay, though I do wish the artist, or their family, would get a cut.
Considering that art that sells for a lot of money will probably be taken care of and upheld for time to come, what do you think about auctioning? Is there a difference between alive and dead painters? Does the fame / influence a living artist gains from a high-profile sale between third parties matter?
Sorry about the downvotes you're getting, I think it's a legitimate question.

Well, if I thought that having sex for purposes other than procreation was illegitimate, I might buy that. I have the impression that some social conservatives believe that. However, I don't think that.

Also, we don't see as much industry effort to push contraception, as we do from the big pharmaceutical industries. Also, we don't see a problem of contraception not actually working; it can fail to work, of course, but most people who use contraception actually get the intended results. I believe it is far more common when Big Pharma tries to put into pill form something that could be obtained from good food or good exercise, that it does not work nearly as well.

Not sure about everyone else, but for me it's the asymmetry involved.

CEOs (and many other execs) don't have a lot of downside. They usually have a contract which guarantees their pay (short of malfeasance), and they tend to get big bonuses.

Upon mergers, some do get cut, but often with golden parachutes. The working stiff gets laid off, and if you're, say, a machinist in Cleveland, good luck finding a decent job again. If you're an exec, you do a quick stint in consulting to land on your feet.

Executive decisions are not hard or stressful enough to justify that pay. It may be tough to lay people off, but it's a hell of a lot more stressful to be laid-off. Generals, Colonels, Majors, and Captains send people into harms way (literally into gunfire), which is way tougher than anything a CEO will ever do, yet they aren't paid for their "hard decisions".

Can a good CEO make a huge difference to a company? Absolutely! But the asymmetry is also that a bad CEO doesn't experience a similar downside (being fired after you've made ten million dollars is not a hardship!).

This explanation comes up frequently in these discussions. It makes a certain amount of sense on its face, but is there any evidence that this actually affects our perception of time?
Yes, that's true, but it's not because "illusion" is not well-defined. It is, and claiming that time is an illusion is a perfectly coherent claim. It might be a controversial claim, and its truth might be difficult to resolve. But it's not ill-posed.

>Obviously the birds aren’t considered conscious

That might not be as obvious as you think. There are studies demonstrating that the parts of the brain that demonstrate consciousness in mammals, evolved before mammal and avian evolution split. With other features co-evolving later on as well.

Some birds are considered sentient now, and as more studies are performed, more and more animals are added to that list. First it was just humans, then all apes, oh and dogs, plus pigs, turns out dolphins too, and parrots, and corvids, etc. etc. etc.

At this point I'd be more surprised if they weren't conscious.

The Longest Year in History (2008)
I had something similar, woke up one morning and had this crazy pain in my upper spine which went into my right arm.

The pain was so insane nothing helped (didn't try oxy though). I went to a million different doctors of all types and nothing really helped.

It wasn't until a met a chiropractor who told me that it was some upper disc fracture which resulted in some liquid pushing on my nerve and that the only thing I could do was to make some neck exercise to pump blood through the area which would make it heal.

That helped within 3 weeks.

Good for them. Everyone I know loves to praise Uber and bash on taxis. while some of the criticism toward taxis is definitely founded, Uber & co. are definitely exploiting their drivers. I really hope that they can get what they want.
There is always a trade off between security and ease of use. Especially if you want to enforce the concept of least privilege - which you should be doing in a “strict environment”. If you have one role that has any permission that any lambda might need, your entire organization is doing nothing more than security theatre.

If you want ease of use, give all of your roles Admin rights. Is that a good idea? Of course not. But it would also not be a good idea for AWS not to by default deny everything and leave it up to the implementation to decide the level of permissions.

Also, if roles and permissions aren’t the same between the dev and production account, someone must be going in and manually changing permissions either in dev, prod or both. A “strict” environment would have an automated, auditable process to change roles through a pipeline using cloud formation templates that first deployed changes to dev and then after the right approvals through to production.
Firefighters and police officers are not socialized, they do not produce anything, a key tenet of socialism; they are extensions of the government in that they are operational activities that would be carried out by any type of government.

Google should have two streams for their updates; security only and everything else. Vendors would have no problem with conflicts in UI or apps if the updates were security only and they could be pushed immediately.

I'm also angry at Google for removing functionality. I won't upgrade to Pie because then my call recording app won't work and I make a lot of customer service calls. I could root my phone but this introduces other issues. Google has made people reluctant to update.

>More often that not I find myself missing C-type strings in other languages. Being able to just walk through the characters and manipulating them is something I found rather ugly in python for instance

If what you say if you want mutable strings, many languages have those and you don't need anything like "NULL" to have them (and you can use a bytearray of the string in Python, though Unicode complicates this).

>The NUL character is in my experience not so terrible, you typically have null pointers at the end of a linked list or whatever as well and nobody complains about that

That's not the same thing at all. The linked list is comprised of structs with next fields, that can be null or point to something. Your program can handle either just fine, as both are valid cases (a linked list expects to find the NULL guard at the end but also expects a non-NULL next pointer if the node is not the last one, so will handle both).

OTOH, if an incoming string doesn't have a NUL byte your program will crash/corrupt memory/worse. On top of that, you need to remember it to add it/make space/for most string manipulations. Strings are not expected NOT to end with NUL, and when they don't there's no way you can mitigate it, except to set arbitrary limits to how many characters you consider.
Yeah, they also affirmed guidance of similar S and X sales to Q4 at the same time. By that point, they should have had a pretty good idea that those would drop. There is a real credibility problem here.
Consciously I know that jk is a better shortcut, but I've been using jj for so long that it's ingrained in the muscle memory, when I started using emacs the first thing that I did with evil was replicate all the shortcuts that I am used to in vim, the first one was jj.
Of course relativity also complicates things with time as well. Whose second? Even if you have two different caesium-133 atoms monitored, one on earth and one on a satellite they won't rise at the same rate although both are defined the same.

I guess the real "illusion" would be that if there is truly nothing to be a frame of reference there is nothing for time to "flow" relative to.

I assume you live in a country which also has a dryer? In Europe AFAIK most people don't have one (at least nobody I knows has one), therefore hanging a load afterwards takes 10-20 minutes, depending on the size of your washing machine, which generally they are considerably smaller than US versions, hence requiring multiple sessions if you have more than one person in the household.

I'm not complaining, 10-20 minutes per week is trivial, but it's also not just pressing a button.
Actually (and I know this is a lame troll), it's trivial to make such functions in most non-C languages.
To me, it's obvious Tesla will win the autonomy race (unless Elon dies prematurely).

I believe Elon's greatest strength is his ability to accurately predict reality (physics), perhaps better than anyone alive right now.
I have a Kinesis Advantage.

Cons: it's a bit expensive, considerably bulky and annoyingly (for workmates) noisy since it has a big volume of air between the halves of the keyboard; it's overkill for most situations where you're going to be browsing an watching Netflix.

Pros: it looks like a fucking spaceship (I'm not a habitual use of F-bombs), teaches you proper typing by separating the keys you're supposed to press with the left and right hands (this lives on even when you work with other keyboards); has such a long key travel that your hands don't hurt when typing in a hurry/hammering the keys with intensity, but actually fires before half of that travel, which makes typing certain combinations with pinkies and ringfingers easy and comfortable.

It's a great keyboard, but it's too much for most people methinks.

---

Edit: from the pictures the Ergodox is very close to a non-bulky kinesis except for the concave bowl design of the keyboard halves; it's great for resting your hands and arms solidly. But I have an unused Kinesis at home because it doesn't fit my desk concept; this would fit the bill nicely.
> Advantage competition: scaling production and delivery, economies of scale

Really? Evidence suggests otherwise.

Hyundai Kona Electric: huge backorders, yet they only made 2000 of them in February. https://insideevs.com/news/343420/hyundai-kona-electric-prod...

Audi eTron: 2019 production targets lowered 20% to 45K/year. https://www.electrive.com/2019/04/23/audi-revises-production...

Jaguar seems to be doing OK with the iPace, but they only sold 1400 of them in February, and of course Jaguar as a car company is a similar size to Tesla.
The strength is in the numbers, if everyone stopped working it will spell trouble for Uber(good luck finding all new drivers right away) and bring media attention to the driver's situation.

Point still stands: they ordered machinery when they don't even know what factory it will go in. Anyone with a modicum of sense or experience in manufacturing understands this is nonsensical.

Well, that's a bold claim, and it doesn't really say anything substantial, in my opinion. What does it mean to see yourself? Are the electrical impulses of your brain somehow registering themselves and then reflecting them to yet another part of the brain which.. does what exactly?

Believing that consciousness can be explained in terms of material processes is certainly a valid belief, but it is just that: a belief. Believing that a certain configuration of atoms, no matter how involved, can give rise to subjective experience is not far from believing in some kind of magic.

And before you retort that a lot of phenomena in nature are 'emergent', I will say:all those phenomena are ultimately explicable in terms of their basic atomic constituents. Consciousness is qualitatively different. You cannot start with the experience of being hungry and then somehow explain the whole process from your stomach being empty to that qualitative experience and how it feels for you.

Even if people on this thread gave arguments, how would they (not familiar with C and C strings) would evaluate them? They could be totally bogus.
> The Democrats have tried at least six times in the last fifteen years to get money out of elections and make elections more secure, such as by requiring paper backups.

Couple of points. 1) "getting money out of elections" and "secure elections" are two entirely different problems. By grouping them into one, the Democrats make sure that there's a lot of opposition to it. And 2), for 2 years (2008-2010?) Democrats had full control of the Congress and Whitehouse. Why didn't they try then? I can tell you why: because then it would have become law! And then no more rallying your troops with the whole "elections are being stolen! elections are being stolen!!" cries.

I am mostly a Democrat, but I'm not willing to give them a free pass just because they're Democrats.

In the 1990's? You'd have thought that'd be far enough removed from the current journalism climate to still have some level of ethics and professionalism.

I got into journalism in 2009, three years after Craigslist began killing print ad revenue and right before clickbait conflagrated from Gawker and its four (five?) horsemen of the apocalypse.

Journalism is in a sorry state these days. Newspapers of record in towns are thin as a toothpick and the only people who can survive at the national/international level tend to be bored upper-middle class rich people with an agenda (conservative or liberal, doesn't matter). If you don't have an agenda that aligns with the publisher/editor (and the readership) they don't want you.

I tried to be a neutral, professional reporter and all it did was leave a bad taste in my mouth.
