$2k isn't absurt for an exercise bike once you think about it. These are the same people who buy a $10,000 bike for recreational riding, remember.

You are dead on with the point about the instructors. My wife hated biking but they have Pelotons in her work gym, and she loves them, and talks about the instructors like they are real people.

People are fitness crazy right now. Crossfit gyms are $100-200 a month, Rogue has whole website of fitness equipment, you could easily spend $4,000 outfitting your house. And how many of us own a $600 blender?

I'm not disagreeing with your main point because remote work is not for everyone, and who am I to tell you what to prefer? But I wanted to note that I've been working fully remote for more than ten years, and I'd say 95% of my contact with team members is informal, and along the lines of just sharing thoughts and ideas exactly as you describe. The only difference is that we share them on slack and via emails rather than having that tap on the shoulder as you describe it. Which is "better" is a matter of personal preference.

One thing I feel doesn't get as much hype compared to intelligence is just how versatile our metabolism is. Animals often have very narrow selection of what they can use for food, and adapting to different kind of food source is very difficult. Humans though can feed on almost everything, plants, meat, raw, cooked, carb-, fat-, or protein-heavy - not all of it is equally good for us, but our digestion system will take whatever you throw at it and be fine mostly.

I agree that more and more companies will start hiring remotely and the market will get more competitive. As I said in the blog post: "I hope the distance between those stances becomes smaller as more companies offer remote work opportunities."

Unless you were cranking everything to the max 24/7 (like maxing out your GPU while reading/writing to a database while doing a bunch of floating point calcs for something?), it probably idled at around 100 watts. Not great, but not something I'd worry about.
No, the article is about the fact that when "heroes" stand up and "save" a poorly managed project, it creates a negative feedback loop that validates the poor management style and lack of planning. The "hero" also devalues themselves and their teammates by allowing management to abuse them and violate everyone's work-life balance.

If this behavior is not nipped in the bud, it creates a toxic culture where projects are always being planned poorly, management's expectations are always misaligned with reality, and all of the engineers are burned out.
The best evolutionary path from virus point of view is to reduce lethality so the host can spread it longer. I thought I read that HIV did something similar and used to be more deadly - even without modern treatment.

Problem with Ebola is that its transmission among humans is via the same thing that kills humans.

No, you can't block requests from a content script as you would with the webRequest API. You can however redirect the page from a content script, read and replace page content, and steal passwords.

The webRequest API gives you fine control over all requests on the page in a performant way. A content script based ad blocker would be able to block ads to some degree by removing the DOM elements that initiate the request, though it would be limited, prone to breaking, and not performant.
To be fair, in a lot of place it is probably illegal to work those hours.
Where I am from, 11pm to 6am are night hours and you need a special contract to be be able to work during those times. This contract is subject to restrictions (i.e. the employer needs to prove you need to work those hours, e.g. you work in healthcare, retail, ...) and they would need to compensate you more per the law.
Same thing for Sundays.
The less cynical take would be:
The argument for the bill is that corporations will discover more genes faster if they are able to monopolize human genes they discovered, and patent expiration will place them in the public domain decades later, possibly faster than if we waited for someone to do the research without the expectation of monopoly.

The question is, will it be really faster in the average case? The dumpster fire in software patents is that they often cover what anyone would, and often did, discover independently relatively quickly when first facing the problem.

As Joel Spolsky has put it:

>The number of actually novel, non-obvious inventions in the software industry that maybe, in some universe, deserve a government-granted monopoly is, perhaps, two.

>The other 40,000-odd software patents issued every year are mostly garbage that any working programmer could “invent” three times before breakfast. Most issued software patents aren’t “inventions” as most people understand that word. They’re just things that any first-year student learning Java should be able to do as a homework assignment in two hours.

I have no idea what would be the case in genetic biotech.
At my recent overnight stay at a large hospital the Nursing staff were very aware of the necessity of good sleep. They worked hard and went out of their way to create an environment where I was interrupted as little as possible. Their first exit interview question was "How well did you sleep?

I don't think they are saying being shy is bad itself, but that it gives you a distinct disadvantage in the modern world, especially in the work place and in politics.
My guess is to prevent ad-fraud by website owners. It's a lot harder to detect fraudulent clicks/impressions if all data are routed through website.

The cost of potentially blocked by ad blockers is finite (A percentage of total revenue), but the cost of ad-fraud is not bounded.

SwiftUI has state. The idea is that all layout code is defined as a pure function of the state. Basically you can annotate properties with `@State` and each time one of those properties is updated, your view `body` function is re-run to produce an updated view.

SwiftUI tries to do clever stuff under the hood to only update the portions of the view hierarchy affected by the state change for performance.
I've never worked on a team that actually works well together, that worked from home more than 1 day a week. It's much, much more difficult to stay on the same page and in sync.
I think you don’t give yourself enough credit by calling it a “romantic ideal of purity;” it really does make a difference.

A little pesticide is fine for cosmetic value: people buy more of the prettier fruits and veggies, great. But when you start to apply modern engineering to it, you get extremely powerful pesticides which are able to do something much more dangerous.

The most talked-about example of what I am talking about is to consider that McDonald’s has uniform french fries throughout the US. They are able to do this because the potatoes that make the french fries are genetically identical; there is exactly one McDonald’s French Fry Potato plant.

As a consequence we are freezing the evolution of part of our food supply while the pests continue to evolve to be better and better at eating those bits. The absolute precondition to do this is that human engineering clears out the pests with advanced pesticides, so that the plants don’t need evolution to stand on their own. And that is really dangerous as it pits human wits against the laws of nature for the long-term.

This is also another reason why that label of “organic” is somewhat wrong. It labels whether something happened in the production of some produce. That is very helpful, say, in response to the OP’s article about avoiding a particular pesticide for health reasons. But it doesn’t say anything about doing the historical deeds of farming where you take your best performers and plant them again for the future: and, worse, there’s a “security vulnerability” here where I can deliver a bunch of organic produce but not support evolution. I can just plant the same crop, look for signs of pests, douse only those fields with advanced pesticides, and the other fields get delivered “organic” even though their survival had only to do with random chance in how they were cultivated, not whether they were tougher in the presence of (weakened) pests.

Thanks for coming here and arguing for Integrated Farming... are there any certifications we can look for that indicate this? (I am under the understanding that anyone can call something "integrated" and it's all on the honor system.)

> Australia, one of the most open, free and fair places in the world

I'm not sure what Australia you live in.

We are currently torturing asylum seekers, with unlimited detention periods (the only nation on earth who allows this). A recent whistleblower that showed corruption within the ATO (to Americans: the IRS) is facing charges that would land him with 160 years in prison. We've neglected and abused the native population to the point that Aboriginal teenager suicide rates are among the highest in the world. Our education system is failing to the point where our education system has the same standards as third world nations -- we rank lower in science and maths than Kazakhstan. In 2015, laws were passed to punish whistleblowers, journalists, AND THE PUBLIC if ASIO (Americans: the NSA) information becomes public. We are the only nation on earth to pass draconian anti-privacy laws that other nations' leaders can only dream of. We don't have any laws guaranteeing freedom of speech, privacy, or any other freedoms we take for granted -- and we are the only western democracy where this is the case.

Don't get me wrong, I hope Australia does get better -- after all, I deeply want it to because I've grown up here. But if you think that the Australia of today is in any way "one of the most open, free and fair places in the world" you're simply mistaken. Yes it's better than living in Saudi Arabia but that shouldn't be an accomplishment.
You said they "should let other people report on stories that involve them", implying that somehow they could stop that. Bit of a blurry sentence.

> It's completely impossible to be even remotely impartial reporting yourself. Isn't that obvious?

No. It depends on the organisation. In the BBC's case, I'd say the opposite is true.

>> Anything can "interfere" with the appearance of a uniform, including a "small photographic patch".

Not if it is inside your pocket. Get real.

>> Then why do they do allow third party monitoring?

Obviously because they can control when it is done as well as how the results are distributed, or not distributed.

>> " TSA claims the “backscatter machines” cannot produce more than 0.005 millirem of radiation per scan. In comparison, the agency says, a chest x-ray exposes patients to 10 millirem of radiation, and the maximum recommended exposure to radiation from man-made sources is 100 millirem per year."

>> That would mean that if you had a machine that was completely unshielded, you would have to perform 2000 scans to get the equivalent of a chest X-Ray

1) this assumes that the "0.005 millirem per scan" is the total output of the machine, including all radiation absorbed by the lensing & shielding. We do not know if this figure is the total generation output, or only the total amount put to the target & receiving sensors.

2) one thing we do know is that the radiation will NOT be scattered evenly; there will be lobes and hotspots and cold spots.

3) even if we assume .005millirem/scan, at the rate of two/minute, that's 1000 minutes to get a chest x-ray, or 16 hours, basically two work days. In LESS THAN ONE MONTH, they are over the yearly dose.

More importantly, this is only counting the backscatter machines that are specifically designed for super-low doses as they are specifically irradating people.

This does NOT look at the luggage scanners, either for carry-ons or for checked luggage, which likely have much higher outputs.

Finally, even if your arguments are correct and there is truly no risk, there should be no problem at all for officers to wear their own dosimeters -- the results would merely be putting their minds at ease that they are not getting exposed.

Thus, we are back to the only reason to prevent officers from wearing dosimeters is an attempt to control the information and prevent whistleblowers and/or lawsuits.

Again, I sincerely hope you are not an employer with this attitude.
It seems I can't reply to your other comment, so I'll address it here:

>Journalists should know that if they walk the fine line between legal and illegal then they run the risk of being investigated.

Sure, no disagreements there.

>If they're confident they're on the right side of the law then they have little to worry about.

This is not the issue, the issue here is clearly intimidation by government entities that wish to silence the media. Right side of the law doesn't matter to the law if you have the right dirt. The right dirt will get your killed.

>What I take exception to is their attitude, as if it's some great affront to decency and democracy that they should come under any kind of scrutiny.

It certainly is a great affront to decency and democracy when the work the journalists are involved in is exposing behavior unfitting for the government. We're not talking about twitter accounts being suspended for saying unsavory things, we're talking about large organizations being raided by the entities they are investigating. Clearly these are distinct situations.

How the Internet may be changing the brain
absolutely. It seems that inevitably you’ll have to abstract a pack of computation under a single concept representing what the computation is globally about.

hence the general focus on isolation , interface and composability.

Once you’ve abstracted a set of computation under a good concept , you should be able to understand it using just a name.
I haven't used glfw, but from the docs it leaves you in control of the main loop, whereas glut takes that over and only offers you callbacks. When I used glut (many many years ago) that was sometimes annoying.

glfw doesn't seem to have a function to draw teapots though, which should really rule it out as a serious contender.
I've been pushing the one a day I receive of these onto the reporting database at https://www.bitcoinabuse.com/ . Unlike the author I've seen very few of the bitcoin accounts have any activity (1 out of 5 at most). The few that do have the wallet in a copy/paste-able format,the others are stuffed into .pngs which seems like a lot for a scammer to ask for . When they hit my mail swerver they're sent from from dialup netblks (Brazil, Panama) or hosts at addresses RIPE indicates are in Ukraine. I probably miss a bunch because of heavy rbl filtering in front of the MTA.

What it’s like to spend half a life in solitary confinement
It's a fair point to bring up, but that statement is extremely biased in phrasing. Why is "effective herbicide" relevant here? Agent orange is also an effective herbicide. Further, "a widely used chemical that has not been specifically linked clinically to any of those disorders" ... you might not pick up on it, but "specifically linked clinically" has some pretty specific meaning and is an extraordinary level of proof to call for at this stage. What they have at this point are theoretical pathways for the observed effects and epidemiological correlations. Taken together, those are pretty damning and worthy of urgent funding of further study.

This bike is for people that don't want to go to a gym and/or don't have lots of time to leave the house on a daily basis. You can also finance the bike so the hit isn't so bad. Additionally, there's no extra charge for multiple accounts (up to 10), so if everyone in the house uses it, the cost makes more sense.

I work out of home and this is the only way I get consistent exercise. My fitness has gone up tremendously as has my quality of life. It's all about what motivates you to take your health seriously... this bike does it for me and a lot of other people. It's really hard to put a price on that.
