Here's the reason they keep doing-- It works.
Stop rewarding it and they'll stop.

I actually think a large number of societal issues today are stemming from people's inability to think rationally for themselves. Things like fake news, being vulnerable to advertising, taking bad deals like minimum wage etc. If someone were able to think rationally and into the future to figure out, "4 years from now if I choose this [politician, car, job]" I'll be as bad or worse off, then those things would die out for want of funding...

well there's lots. in my country (Aus), there's regulations on tobacco, alcohol, gambling: each of varied levels of deliberate and actual effectiveness.

A lot of places limit billboards.

And then there's even cultural aspects: Melbourne culture says that the level of a places' 'coolness' is inversely related to its amount of external signage...
To think of it - I might have heard these two pass by. Not on that flight, but I lived with my parents in northern germany, not far from the danish border, and en route from the north to the baltic sea and on to russia. I often heard the badam, accompanied by a creak of the wooden roof.

I understand. I'm not saying that I accept that the correlation is accurate. I'm just saying that if it is, the tradeoff to stop making 3% of people less happy is totally worthwhile.

But of course, still in the hypothetical, it wouldn't be necessary for ads to disappear to accomplish this. All that would be necessary is for advertising to adhere to the ideals the ad industry itself says it holds: rather than manipulating people, ads could just inform people what the product is, what it does, and what its strengths (and, as long as I'm dreaming, weaknesses) are.

But the vast majority of ads do none of that. Instead, they engage in psychological manipulation.
AFAICT this would affect even casual stargazers, not just astronomers.
I don't care how much education they have, the minds who are focused on developing ways to capture people's increasingly fractured attention are disqualified from being considered the top minds of our generation.
Or the original ruby bundler, which locks down exact versions in a `Gemfile.lock`, but lets you easily update to latest version(s) with `bundle update`, which will update the `Gemfile.lock`.

Actually, it goes further, `bundle update` doesn't update just to "latest version", but to latest version allowed by your direct or transitive version restrictions.

I believe `yarn` ends up working similar in JS?

To me, this is definitely the best practice pattern for dependency management. You definitely need to ruthlessly lock down the exact versions used, in a file that's checked into the repo -- so all builds will use the exact same versions, whether deployment builds or CI builds or whatever. But you also need tooling that lets you easily update the versions, and change the file recording the exact versions that's in the repo.

I'm not sure how/if you can do that reliably and easily with the sorts of dependencies discussed in the OP or in Dockerfiles in general... but it seems clear to me it's the goal.
Must be nice to have that luxury. The same emergency in the AH-1Z basically says "good luck." Granted, a hydraulic failure of two redundant and independent systems is astronomically unlikely (and the outcome will almost certainly be fatal).
Yes. I lived in Soviet Ukraine at the time. While the British actors do take away some authenticity from it, the look and feel of 1980's Soviet Union is incredibly accurate. I showed a clip to my parents and they were like "wait, what, this is not a documentary?"
Anyone have a direct link to the games? Current article link goes a generic TCEC landing page.
Ironically, advertising your position against advertising is also a form of advertising. I dont think it's right to view advertising as inherently unethical. Communication and signaling are parts of human nature
Even if there are plenty of competitors in your space, time is a huge factor, and they probably need your firm as much as you need theirs at this point.

So, I'd just put the cards on the table: treat us with more respect or find someone else.

That usually sorts things out.
Are they randomly selected if they're all issues for which a root cause can be traced to ingesting Facebook content?
Also interested in this group chat. I am exploring a new idea in the real estate space as well.
I disagree. I manage a few small (<$10k/month campaigns) and Google is constantly advising bad moves. They recommend networks I’ve repeatedly turned off. They recommend geographic regions where I don’t operate. They recommend keyword combinations that have nothing to do with my site.

The default recommendations from AdWords are always bad for me and always very much more expensive. If I just accepted their recommendations and then their recommendations to up ad spend, I would easily pay 10x.

Maybe google is good for everyone but me. But maybe google just makes recommendations in their interest instead of mine.

Even with close attention, I find that I have to walk the line to not screw up because Google is trying to trick me. I feel similarly about Facebook’s changing privacy stuff. Like it’s me against the firm.
My understanding is that FSD will at least require a new computer module, which they are supposed to replace for free for those of us who have purchased FSD.

However, it is an open question whether or not it will require additional / different sensors (like lidar).
I run a 1-person LLC in NYC. I initially used healthcare.gov for my coverage, but once my business started making money, I found that I was paying a lot for mediocre coverage. The providers I used also stopped offering coverage after 2016/2017, so I decided to switch to TriNet. They are an HR service, but also offer health insurance, which is all I use them for. I also looked at Gusto and JustWorks, but they required 1+ employees. I currently pay about $1500 for me and my family for pretty good coverage from Aetna (including dental and vision).
It always comes down to that, but what's stopping a company from hiring someone located anywhere in the world with a big monitor to stare at 20 feeds and just hit an alarm and call the cops when people get disgraceful? Have the cams only flip on with motion even. Could probably do it for dollars a day in some countries.
I really want a study to show what percentage of online ads are downright deceptive (or at least highly misleading). I suspect it's well over 60-70%.
I hope that countries have the protocols in place for prioritized satellite communication.
My point is that subsistence allocations of food, water, shelter, and clothing is not enough, and such are part of the punishment of prison.
I'd take issue with that. Go to https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/?active_status=all&ad_t... and look up some random brands you've heard of. The vast majority of ads are on the level. The ones that aren't are when the product itself is a scam most of the time.

People still look at me strangely when they say "hey have you seen that new ad for X" and I tell them I avoid advertisements. Likewise when I change the radio station the moment an ad break starts. I think the idea of ads as a negative influence has not penetrated very far in US society.

Another ramification... many suppliers/vendors will now be "more directly" competing with their own customers within the amazon marketplace. Whereas before a vendor could sell a large quantity to Amazon and then smaller quantities (at higher prices) to middlemen and let the middleman fight it out, now they'll be a huge incentive to price in such a way that middlemen get cut out.

If this sounds good (hey, no middlemen, better for us) consider this typical situation (I know it well)... Retail company buys toys for sale in store, but uses marketplace for overstock, offsets, and to keep products on shelves fresh... Not a huge profit center, but an important part of "flow" - now the viability of that shrinks as suppliers squeeze prices upwards.

And the cycle continues... retailers have to raise prices to make up for what little "volume" sales they do... people stop shopping retail because it is "too expensive" and down go more independent stores.

That's still a hell of a lot more coherent than what Mr. Orange Man routinely gets away with in his ramblings - and he's not even suffering from dementia himself!

One of the nicest things about been a techie is I rarely see/hear adverts.

I don’t listen to the radio (programming podcasts and music), watch broadcast tv (streaming and..other sources), ublock origin deals with the web.

So I see maybe a one or two per day (billboards near work).

I’m reminded how nice that is every time I touch a windows work PC that isn’t mine (I run fedora on a box I built myself), at least everyone is running ublock origin now after I suggested it.

This falls prey to a common misconception: drug companies do not price drugs in order to recoup the cost of r&d. R&d is a sunk cost, the pricing of the drug is determined by what the market will bear. Ability to cover r&d is important before beginning the development project- the company needs to believe that bn it will be able to price a drug in a way that is NPV positive, but when the drug is approved, pricing is based purely off of the laws of supply and demand.
That's what I said. Read again.
How did you think those fancy things got into the movies? Why were those peers seen performing those actions?
I don't think you understand what I mean by "there is no trade-off". Those endeavours are only useful if and to the extent they create happiness.

Also: Companies need ads to grow because their competitors also have ads. That doesn't mean they'd need ads in if ads didn't exist.

The one legitimate purpose ads serve – could easily be served through other mechanisms, e.g. by the press. Maybe the press would have to expand but advertising isn't free either. In any case, an independent press is much more suitable to actually inform people than the ad industry which at best informs people by accident while trying to convince people to buy $PRODUCT.

Ads are like military: It's mostly necessary because it exists.
Well if we're really stretching the logic, watching something is what signals Netflix Corporate to keep it on the service, thus you are _technically_ funding that specific piece of content.

I don't do Facebook, and have no clue what FB ads look like. I'm talking about advertising generally, online and off. I very rarely see ads that are like that.
Well in that particular case it’s probably still a better option than ejecting.

I'd believe Lockheed Martin's CFR claims more if they didn't say things like this:

> Energy created through fusion is 3-4 times more powerful than the energy released by fission.[0]

Which is just confus(ed/ing) on a fundamental level... More Powerful energy? So each Joule from fusion is actually 3-4 times better than each Joule from fission, in some way? I really can't work out what they are trying to say here.

This is 100% wrong. The free market was driving the change pretty quickly and then regulations came in and made it illegal to do most of those things.

Illegal to produce a proper prototype, incredibly restricted access to materials, incredibly high cost to entry and pretty much every other regulatory burden that exists. The nuclear industry is probably one of the un-freest markets ever.

And whats stopping the Navy from doing these things is not oil lobbyists, but rather the Navy having no interest in such tasks and that such tasks are not in their political mandate from congress. That's what the DoE and others are for (in theory). Not to mention that the Navy doesn't really care that much about cost.

I don't think you need a free market, if government wants to drive energy policy, then they can do it successfully with nuclear as well, see France. At least successful compared to most nations.

Either method works fine, specially in a market the size of the US. Currently both paths are blocked.
I remember developing an App. And then we have talked about, how can we be seen. And then all my grudges on advertising disappeared. Thank god, that it exists.
Is this putting the ID.3 at risk?
Your last option us exactly what the author recommends -- pip-tools.
Depends what you refer to when you say "need". Is internet a luxury? I want to video call my parents thousand of kilometers away (webcam). I want to do it without the connection being interrupted every second (good internet connection). I want to be able to distinguish my mother from my father (HD webcam) and hear them without buzzing sounds (good microphone). But wait! There's this thing called a "smartphone" that has good camera and microphone, and you don't have to be sitting in the dark corner where your PC is.

The problem with ads is that most of the times they promote a product for a need that either doesn't exist or does not apply to you, but still, after being spammed a lot you might give in and think you actually need that.
Your best choice will likely be a plan from the ACA. In California, this is https://www.coveredca.com/. You can try and get cute and find something like a MEWA, which have theoretically been cleaned up from the disaster that they were in the past (bankrupt and not covering claims.) There's also professional organizations that you can purchase through, but I've never seen one that isn't just a gateway for the ACA.

As far as price, just check the market. There should be a way to see prices without even creating an account. The total price to account for is premium*12 + out_of_pocket_max, which should be between $11-15k for the year for a single person regardless of what plan you have. For me, I'm at about $490/month for a $7900 out of pocket max, which puts my total liability at $13780 for the year. Though, it will probably be less than that given that I'm healthy. That said, I'm not in CA.

Anyway, good luck! Running your own business is exciting and this is an expense. Also worth noting that your premiums are completely deductible as a self-employed person, which is normally not the case.
Yeah, if this was published in a API format upstream, might have been possible.

Big Advertising is a root cause not only for mass mental dissatisfaction, but also mass health epidemics (i.e. obesity in the US), and ecological destruction/climate change.
Okay. I'm trying to understand the "low level radiation" part though. What is disappointing about the study you reference is that they don't characterize what the level of radiation is compared to normal background radiation, they don't account for changes in population or diet, and they don't account for changes in industry.

As the study itself states: "These conclusions are regrettable because low statistical significance only means that chance has not been excluded as an explanation, assuming no bias and no real effect. In more detail, p values -that is, the probabilities that observed effects may be due to chance - are affected by both the magnitude of the effect and the size of the study. This means the results of statistical tests must be interpreted with caution [26]."

Meta studies based on statistical analysis is inherently challenged. This one is no better (and no worse) than the others.

For instance "The Best Steak Knife Set" [1], lays out a couple of options and why you might pick them as well as their criteria and test methodology so you can figure out why you might want to pick something else.

Most of those 7.3 million deaths are from people burning local fuels (wood, trash, dung, etc.) for heating and cooking.

It's seems unfair to compare subsistence, low-tech energy (dung burning) to nuclear energy.

It makes a lot more sense to compare high-tech nuclear energy with high-tech renewables (with storage).
That's not entirely correct. There is no specific level to which uranium (or any other fissile material) must be enriched before supercriticality may occur, the level of enrichment simply determines the critical mass required. For instance, the critical mass for pure U-235 is around 50kg, while for 20% enriched U-235 you'd need about half a ton or so. [1]

In the case of Chernobyl, the concern was that upon contact with water (which acts as a neutron moderator in these circumstances) and given the inevitable sequence of steam explosions that would follow, some regions of superheated corium might be forced into prompt criticality events. These would technically qualify as nuclear explosions, but the sequence of events required to get from this set of increasingly improbable assumptions to anything remotely close to a megaton range explosion is, as I said, improbable to the point of being trivially dismissable.

[1] EDIT: I realized I should probably point out for clarity that I'm referencing the traditional measures for a critical mass - the mass required for a homogenous sphere of a given material to go critical. Determining the critical mass for a highly inhomogenous material of complex geometry, highly varied temperature and potentially surrounded by neutron reflecting substances is not a trivial task.
I imagine within hours of a total war, space will become a highly militarized battlefield with kinetic and laser weapons knocking just about everything down as fast as it is put up.
Humanity can already access more energy than is healthy for our planet. Even if you had a zero-greenhouse-gas source of energy, all that energy is eventually dissipated as heat, so it would not be safe to use an unlimited quantity of it.

I looked at the numbers about 10 years ago and iirc I concluded that waste heat is about 10% the impact of greenhouse gasses, so not insignificant. I don't remember how I got that number though, and I could have easily messed something up.
I agree 100%.

I've never had a consultation with one of Google's reps where the suggestion didn't increase my spend, while giving a worse ROI. At this point, I don't believe it's incompetence, it's systematic malice.

But I wasn't talking about using any of Google's suggestions, by phone or their automated recommendations. I was just referring to simple a/b testing and systematic use of negative keywords and fine-tuning settings.

11pm-5am is universally disabled for all my campaigns for example. My customer base simply isn't awake and buying at these times, because they have jobs. This alone dropped ad spend by 25% while only reducing conversions by 5%.

Indeed. I forget where I heard this, but my experience as a parent and seeing other parents has led me to think that (in the absence of abuse), this is true: parents tend to take both too much credit and too much blame for how their kids turn out.
