You are still cherrypicking by concentrating on these data, which are not conclusive. /so, you show me part of an in-depth paper saying that there were data before 1979 .It appears there might. However, in the paper, it says there was not much variance in sea ice significantly between the 1953 and 1984, but that 1960-80 was significantly colder anomaly period. (pp 224-5). But after that... much decline. None of what you talk about it particularly relevant, given ALL the other data about melting glaciers and sea ice extents since 1990, which you carefully ignore.

I just don't understand this.

If a company knows how to get choose a USD200k engineer in SF and get a good return for the company off that engineer, then why wouldn't you pay USD200k in all areas?

USD200k is a good carrot where I live, so you would be able to attract the best engineers living here (with far less competition and far less churn).

I get it that SF has network effects, but good remote engineers also tap into the same network.
You are making some really silly assumptions that are common amongst laymen in spaceflight.

And Blue Origin can do propulsive landing like SpaceX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNRs2gMyLLk

Propulsive landing has been around for a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39cjZTCay24

Whilst it seems (and is!) very cool to see the boosters land, it seems to impress the laymen a lot more than the true technical worth of the feat. Here's an addon to the Orbiter spaceflight simulator with recoverable falcon 9 stages: https://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=7091

More or less requires college level kinematics at the core of the control/guidance.

Also with the recent DM-2 anomaly, SpaceX is playing catch up with Blue Origin, not the other way round.

I think many companies don't have exactly 1 job posting for 1 seat. For example, I've seen large tech companies have a single "Backend engineer" req that is used for every backend engineering role in the company (or org). So the pure number of applicants in a LinkedIn job post may be misleading.

This is a crucial point, IMO. Facebook et al need to decide (or we as a society need to decide) whether they're a public square - in which case they have no business censoring what people choose to say except in cases speech that is clearly illegal - or a content publisher making choices about what to publish and what not.

(In Facebook's case, at least, I'd say that ever since they moved on from the simple chronological "wall" showing posts as submitted, replacing it with a "timeline" where their algorithms - with plenty of input from "sponsors", etc - decide what you'll see, they have chosen to become a content publisher.)

Fine, in the content publisher role they can decide that certain content, or the speech of certain parties, will not be published through their platform.

But then they must also be held responsible for what they do choose to publish - including liability for harmful content such as libel, false advertising, etc.

>...n McDonald's case, a 100+% rise in wages would represent a 4% rise in price.

Estimates are that labor costs are more like 33% of the costs of a fast food restaurant like McDonalds:

https://s3.amazonaws.com/s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2915...

Increasing pay by close to 50%,one would expect that prices would have to increase by closer to 15%, not 4%. Though, given how price sensitive those customers are, it isn't clear how much you can raise the price.

In terms of margin, it looks like McDonalds is doing much better than other chains:

>...In 2012, for example, when McDonald's had a net profit margin of just under 20 percent; Burger King's net margin was less than a third of that and another big chain; Wendy's, had a scary thin 0.3 percent.

https://smallbusiness.chron.com/average-profit-margin-restau...

But even at McDonalds, I think it is safe to assume that in the longer term, fast food restaurants would look into replacing rising labor costs with machines - that might be replacing cashiers with kiosks or even machines that prepare and cook the food, etc. This would be expected to happen anyway, over time, but mandating huge increases in labor costs will mean it happens quicker and be more disruptive. (One might say "good riddance" as these aren't great jobs, but they are entry level jobs which are disappearing in all industries.)

> the regular players have a list of two-letter words on paper, in pencil, at hand.

No, this is against the rules. You know what we call a list of words? A dictionary. You aren't allowed to have those open until a word gets challenged. A decade ago I had all the two letter words in the Scrabble dictionary memorized, I doubt I'd still be able to spit them all out.

This:

> so its now widely appreciated that anything expressible in spoken languages as a class is expressible in sign languages

doesn't follow from this:

> There are linguists that study how subfields in linguistics that traditionally only applied to spoken languages (e.g. phonology) have analogues in sign languages

at all. For example, phonology is the study of what sounds can be produced in a language, what equivalence classes they belong to, and in what contexts they can occur. That doesn't apply directly to silent languages, but it's straightforward to say that the "phonology" of a sign language would be the gestures that it uses, which gestures are considered equivalent or distinct, and the contexts in which any given gesture can occur.

But the question of what it's possible to express doesn't need to be analogized. It applies just as directly to sign languages as it does to spoken languages. The conclusion that sign languages have the same expressive power as spoken languages would be equally true or false regardless of whether anyone was studying the analogue of sound production in soundless languages.

If it weren't for Android, how many fewer people would be using Chrome as their daily mobile browser?

Chrome doesn’t make them any money besides Google.com being the default search engine. Pre-Chrome, Google already had an overwhelming share of the search engine market.

What about YouTube impressions?

The same with YouTube. My old Blackberry phone came with a YouTube app as did the iPhone before there was even an App Store. Would Apple have been so fast to not bundle Youtube or Google Maps if it weren’t for Android?

Have these things plus the app store really only generated 21 billion?

I would hope that Oracle’s high priced lawyers would have taken all that into account.
Thomas Jessell, prominent neuroscientist is dead
In the last 150 years over 97% of old-growth redwoods have been cut down. We are now arguing over the last (less than) 3% of redwoods.

That's about 0.6 of the original coverage % per year. Assuming the historical rate, if not restricted, that's five years to clear out the remaining old growth redwood.

Modern logging methods become ever more efficient, which means that without legal restrictions we could log out all old-growth redwoods in less than five years.

What rural communities are coming up against is not fundamentally a legal restriction, but a resource limit. It just so happens that this resource restriction is being reflected in legal restrictions before we loose all of our old-growth forests.

No matter what happens those jobs are going to disappear. They are either going to go away in our lifetimes, and there will be old growth redwoods, or they will go away a few years later and there will be no old growth redwoods.

That's the reality.

If we want to keep those jobs alive and still keep redwoods then we have one option: outlaw power tools while limiting the number of loggers.

If you modified the Object.prototype or Array.prototype (which was common at the type with libraries like PrototypeJS) and used a rehydration function with JSON.parse, the runtime would throw an error you couldn't catch, and stop JS functioning. In IE 8.x ... almost worse, the JSON.parse function was locked... I wound up using a wrapper JSON.parse2 or something that was the JSON library edited to attach to parse2 for IE8, other browsers would alias parse as parse2.

I then used the parse2 in everything at that time. In the end, it sucked and I'm glad I don't have to do it anymore. IE8's quirks were what I would consider the last bad version of IE... since then it's been mostly okay on release, but ages rapidly, but enough turnover that you aren't on it too long. Until current IE11 as it's tied to windows releases, and some people/orgs didn't upgrade.

And when they have vested interests in their children, they will choose the worst ways to serve them. I can provide as an example Greece, which is suffering an economic crisis and an even deeper demographic crisis. Despite that, elections are judged largely on what guarantees are given to pensioners. The whole political system has adopted the view that pensions are supposed to feed the whole family (i.e. children too). Thus even though the country needs economic growth, it spends record amounds on pensions

> I think one of the issues is that the average price of cars has risen so much.

IMO, what explains the higher price is because reliability is so much better than 20 years ago. 100k miles is so cake that no one brags about reaching 100k miles anymore. In fact, most people today are bragging about "oil-change + tire maintenance only for 100k miles".

Its completely reasonable to buy a car with 100k miles on it, and hope for it to last another 100k miles on top of it (or ~7 years or so, depending on driving habits).

In effect, a 5-year old car today is approximately worth the same a brand-new car from the 90s. You're gonna get +100k miles off of it and not have to worry too much about maintenance issues.
Yes. Why are the measles still a thing?

Yeah working with Windows POSs is no fun, way more fragmented than mPOS plus they're all old and crusty. Unfortunately, figuring out a way to integrate with them may be unavoidable since so many merchants have them.

You might want to get in touch with the folks at Fivestars (https://www.fivestars.com/), they have a lot of experience integrating with Windows POS systems in particular.
a) Deplatforming should never be used for revenge, but to prevent bad outcomes in the future. You seem to entirely focus on the past instead of arguing for it to have any future benefit. Incidentally, "by now everyone knows it's satire" is one of the better arguments against banning infowars and milo nowadays seems unable to get enough of an audience to make a profit. Thus recent actions happening only now can easily be seen more as virtue signaling than effective deplatforming. But i guess better late than never.

b) It is only possible to deplatform small parties. Wanting to deplatform the US president or the largest media network in the US (or in your case all of them) is unreasonable.

By the time Firefox came out, it lined up with IE6 well enough to use the same code (W3C DOM) methods mostly. IE4.x and NN4.x support was horrific, and worse than IE6 when Google did what TFA mentioned. Dropping support for IE4/NN4 didn't mean not supporting other current browsers.

I tried to find statistics for this claim by looking at homicide risk but was unable to find anything supporting it. Possibly this is true in non-western countries. For example here is a look at the data that claims tran people are less at risk in the UK. https://www.google.com/amp/s/fairplayforwomen.com/trans-murd...

I suspect there are lots of confounders if you wanted to isolate the risk that trans brings. For example apparently trans people have a higher rate of sex work which would increase the risk. On the other hand I wouldn't be surprised if trans were coming from higher socio-economic groups on average which would lower the risk.
Thread-local storage is not async-signal safe. Some systems (including glibc!) will lazily initialize TLS slots on the first access, which would result in a call to malloc and/or locking of a mutex, neither of which are async-signal safe. Some slots may be initialized at link time but others lazily, depending on how and when the code was compiled and loaded, so just because it seems to work for you doesn't mean the behavior won't change.

The safest (and also portable) way I've found to setup per-thread async-signal-safe local storage is to install an alternate signal stack for each thread using sigaltstack. Allocate a larger buffer than needed (and reported) for the stack and use the remaining memory for storage and guard pages. For example, allocate ((PAGE_SIZE * 3) + roundup(MINSIGSTKSZ, PAGE_SIZE)--two guard pages, one page for your local storage, and the remainder for the stack.
I don't think I made a claim that SV (or anyone) is an objective arbiter of truth.

I said:

1) At some point, if you allow a view to be expressed on your platform, you become somewhat implicated in that view spreading.

2) I believe (and I think FB believes) that the views these people promote are harmeful.

Now, should we trust Facebook? No! Facebook has banned many people and groups for far less than these people were banned. The reason Facebook is pushing this news so hard is that they have been letting things slide again and again because these people were prominent figures (see also how Twitter keeps not banning trump despite his many threats of violence).

I agree, there is no need for a blockchain. But, that explanation is what has been proposed as the justification for using one.

I would counter also that neither of your examples are actually supply chains. FedEx is part of a supply chain, but only a single member. the chain includes the manufacturer, wholesaler, etc. Uber also doesn't have a supply chain with its drivers. It is not running a supply chain for that purpose, it is a marketplace.

> Companies are a bit like religions. When they're small, they can't have much impact. When they're big and young, they can wreak havoc. If they make it to comfortable old age, they're peaceful and stable. The Catholic Church is huge, benign, and stable now, but 1000 years ago they were a bit more conquest-focused and violent, and 2000 years ago they were just a few harmless militants.

That's a really bad analogy and detracts a lot from your point. Big religions that reach old age are merely stable, but that doesn't necessarily make them peaceful or benign. My guess is that you're probably looking at it through the lens of living in United States.
This simply won't die, will it? I mean, while we're at it, let's advocate abandonment of all higher level languages because essentially they all boil down to machine code, and nobody could recommend working directly with machine code any more, could they.

I'll explain my submission (I submitted the other article 6 days ago too): the tax reform bill, which would have enshrined tax prep companies to be the approved providers of free file tax software, had wide bipartisan support and was considered a likely shoo-in to be signed into law (it didn't even require a roll call vote in the House).

But people, including advocates and reporters, discovered the directives in robots.txt and <meta> tags, which have been out-in-plain-sight for at least a decade [0], and that has apparently led former employees to speak out and/or leak internal documents that will very likely lead to an investigation. Tax prep companies have spent millions per year in lobbying, and now a major, easy legislative victory may be spoiled because of robots.txt. It's pretty rare that we see grass-roots complaints actually stymie a popular bipartisan bill supported by industry lobbyists, nevermind because of a webdev technical issue.

They don't seem to be. At least not in terms of content. YouTube music has songs that Google play doesn't, and vice versa.

The YouTube music experience is kind of odd. It seems that you can only listen to full albums if someone has uploaded them to YouTube as separate songs. Which makes sense, but it means that currently a lot of the music I listen to is nowhere to be found on YouTube music.
