ok. yeah. pursuing that, i'm wondering if there's a simple way to convince someone that this is true.

one idea I saw somewhere was that because awk is part of a Turing complete language, it can be used to implement the relational algebra. though I don't know how to prove that myself, except by actual construction: implementing each part of the relational algebra definition.

looking over the definition of relational algebra, at first I wondered: what about a theta join? it's not directly built into the CLI "join" command. but then the article points out that if you can obtain a Cartesian product of two tables then you can use a Select to filter out the rows that do not meet the criteria of your theta join.

and then there's division, which I can only guess would depend heavily on some careful awk scripting.

and so it goes. IDK. it seems a bit laborious to prove it all by construction.

The problem statement in the article is ‘student loan crisis an underemployment catastrophe’. If you accept the idea that some degrees are more marketable than others, then ‘the question’ absolutely is ‘why are people completing unmarketable degrees?’.

That’s not to say there aren’t also other problems. But the problem this article is discussing is that people are completing college degrees that do not improve their employment opportunities.

you say SEO tricks are useless

SEO tricks are useless, but that's not the same as saying SEO is useless:

> optimizing your site (for crawlers and users), and following a sane marketing strategy

That's a lot of what (non-jerky) SEO is these days.

One can argue that it's not something worth hiring an SEO consultant for, as there's enough info floating around out there to do this yourself if you're moderately savvy. But there are folks who aren't savvy about that sort of thing, as well as folks who think it's just worth paying someone else to worry about it.

This argument doesn't make a ton of sense to me. It seems like an inconsistent comparison to compare a single touchscreen to many customized knobs/buttons/etc., when you could also compare a single set of knobs/buttons/etc. to different screen sizes across models.

Car companies don't tend to custom-design knobs/buttons/etc. for each model. They tend to reuse the same ones across many models to save on development and manufacturing costs. They also already modularize these knobs and buttons across different "accessory classes". You can probably see this in your own car even, if you see anywhere on your car's center console or dashboard which has plastic caps where it seems like more buttons or knobs belong. Those are likely buttons/knobs for additional functions in optional feature packages.

Also, even for the same screen size across models, you'd still likely need custom bezels since most models are differently sized and thus have different dashboard shapes/sizes within which the screen is mounted.

Especially with how high-resolution touchscreens in cars are becoming in new models, I doubt they're cheaper than a handful of plastic knobs and buttons.

My guess is that it's exactly what they said. It's probably harder from a software perspective to adapt touch-screen-based interfaces like Android Auto and Apple Car Play to physical controls, and those difficulties probably come up over and over as the versions of these interfaces on the phones are constantly being updated, and the car must continue supporting more and more versions at one time.
I'm not sure I've ever seen SMS account recovery.
There’s only one AAPL because we all agree there is. What if the NYSE and NASDAQ disagreed? It all comes down to people.

This is the bait-and-switch of crypto. People act like it’s all code and messy humans aren’t involved and this just isn’t true.

The original comment I replied to said there will only ever ever be 21,000,000 Bitcoin. I believe this is not fundamentally true because “Bitcoin” is whatever people say it is. If we all agreed to accept a fork with 22mil and call it Bitcoin, then that’s what it is. Sure, that old fork only has 21mil, but who cares? Old forks get dropped all the time.

This all isn’t entirely theoretical. This already happened with the other major part of cryptocurrencies, the immutable blockchain. What we all call ETH has a rollback in it!

No, this hasn’t happened with BTC but there’s no reason it can’t. Every second that the Bitcoin blockchain doesn’t get rolled back, every second that there are only 21 mil possible Bitcoin is because we all collectively agree that’s the case.
I think Facebook's reputation will be enough to relegate this thing to the ash heap. The only people who are going to be interested in Facebook coins are some subset of cryptocurrency enthusiast who can find value in moving their cryptocurrency into a coin that will have more onramps to spendable money. For everyone else, it's going to be viewed as yet another digital money app you have to hook up to your bank account and there will be little incentive to do so since everyone is already comfortable with their cryptocurrency/venmo/paypal/cashapp of choice. When you mix in Facebook's horrible reputation, particularly with regard to tracking and privacy abuse I think we're going to find that people mostly just ignore this offering.
Interview with the creators of levels.fyi
I'm not sure if you're aware, but American manufacturing has been decimated over the past several decades. Most stuff you buy these days is manufactured overseas and shipped to North America for assembly and/or sale.

What you seem to be advocating for is an almost complete cessation in consuming stuff, which is impossible to do without a big hit to one's standard of living.

Compared to all this, choosing a leisure activity that is fun, relaxing, and doesn't devastate the environment should be pretty fucking easy.

None of this is untrue with touchscreens. They also have wires and connectors and must be certified.
Yeah I came here to write more or less this exact comment -- the doctor absolutely did make a medical judgement on the patient, and frankly it was an astonishingly bad one. To declare, sight unseen, that a patient with several severe signs of infection is simply prediabetic, is negligent in the extreme, especially when the medical professional who is actually with the patient doesn't agree.

It's not up for debate; we have evidence that it's dangerous. The NHTSA says:

"The available research indicates that cell phone use while driving, whether it is a hands-free or hand-held device, degrades a driver’s performance. The driver is more likely to miss key visual and audio cues needed to avoid a crash. Hand-held devices may be slightly worse, but hands-free devices are not risk-free."

If you read Feynman's nobel acceptance speech (https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/1965/feynman/lectu...) and some of the other interviews he gave about his QED work, you get the sense that his model of working was to listen carefully to what other people in the field were asserting and then devising a method for proving (or disproving) to himself with his own calculus driven methodology. He got really really good at it, and it lead him to understand the whole field of study better than anyone else. I can see how it could lead to the crisis described in the article, because he would have to spend less time analyzing the work of predecessors and more time pursuing, and then testing, his own hypotheses.

"Whataboutism" is intellectually bankrupt. If something is a legitimate callout of hypocrisy, it doesn't matter who it's from, or how hypocritical the speaker is. It's the message, not the messenger, otherwise it's just the reverse of argument by authority. Ideas should be evaluated for their content.
How is ACH "inefficient"? It's certainly slow, but speed and efficiency are not the same thing. It's far more efficient than bitcoin.

Cough cough. Mali. Imagination. Even Apple.
> Forensic examinations of Zaharie’s simulator by the FBI revealed that he experimented with a flight profile roughly matching that of MH370—a flight north around Indonesia followed by a long run to the south, ending in fuel exhaustion over the Indian Ocean. Malaysian investigators dismissed this flight profile as merely one of several hundred that the simulator had recorded. That is true, as far as it goes, which is not far enough. Victor Iannello, an engineer and entrepreneur in Roanoke, Virginia, who has become another prominent member of the Independent Group and has done extensive analysis of the simulated flight, underscores what the Malaysian investigators ignored. Of all the profiles extracted from the simulator, the one that matched MH370’s path was the only one that Zaharie did not run as a continuous flight—in other words, taking off on the simulator and letting the flight play out, hour after hour, until it reached the destination airport. Instead he advanced the flight manually in multiple stages, repeatedly jumping the flight forward and subtracting the fuel as necessary until it was gone.

This seems as close to a smoking gun as we're ever likely to get.
Novelty or gimmicks are appealing when your payments business is only 2% of revenue and yet lots of people are discovering products and wasting money on pay-to-win-games through your platform. Their assumption is probably that Facebook gamers (and especially the "whales") are more likely to be the sort of people excited by breathless hype about cryptocurrency being the future without really understanding much about it, and less likely to be the sort of person that says "but you could do that with a centralised ledger".

If Apple want to demand more responsibility from the tech industry why should it only be other companies' transgressions?

The stakes are much lower, but the same complaints apply to media center remote controls.

Recently my Logitech Harmony ONE died, and I replaced it with their current high-end device. I HATE it. I want to be looking at the TV when using it, not shifting attention to the remote's touch screen. Worse, the remote wants to support lots of controls, which it implements by allowing a swipe between pages. But it's way too easy to accidentally change pages, and the pages are all different kinds of things, so it's not clear how to swipe back to the one you want.

So I took the $100+ device and threw it in the closet. I bought their 665 model, which is a big "peanut" form factor. It has all physical buttons, except four are located on the edge of an LCD screen. But that's not a touch screen, it's just for labeling purposes. All the buttons on the device are physical. This $50 device is so much easier to use than it's big brother.
Yea, agreed. My dream for it would be changing the way the internet is funded. If you could send 1 or 2 cents digitally, you could bill people for social media use rather than showing them ads. You could tip content creators and not have a payment network take 30%, same for in app purchases. The kill ads feature doesn't align with FB's interest though.

We'll see what their fee structure looks like.

Also I'd like to point out that the headline is, at best, highly misleading -- the doctor didn't see the patient, no, but that's the problem not an exculpatory factor. This isn't a random doctor being sued by a random patient it's a doctor whose medical judgement arguably led to the patient's death.

Miners have to sell their coin to remain profitable. This distributes the coin well, and ensures a highly liquid market.

A big reason I still love my 12 year old car (a Mazda, by chance) is that it doesn't have a touch screen. I've borrowed a number of cars over the years that have touch screens and I hate them; they're distracting, they're not intuitive, and you can't use them without taking your eyes off the road. I'll say this for Mazda; they're practical.

Good point. The article was mostly focused on the design and conceptualization of the tool in order to keep it short and concise, but I certainly had a lot to say about the development itself. I've been considering open sourcing the project in GitHub so people can check it out & build upon it, but that might take a while to polish and ensure it's stable. In its current state though I do use the editor to create video pitches and GIFs since it's considerably faster than After Effects.

As per the pricing, my plan was to make it free, or at least have a free plan. It was one of my main reasons why I started the project, and one of its biggest selling points.
Nice stats. From my personal experience, most crashes/very dangerous situations I've seen were because of someone going over speed limit or doing hazardous stuff (eg. driving on red, drunk, opposite lane). One was old person not knowing driving rules. Others were attention problems usually from non drivers (cyclist, walking person).

At least in my country we have rules that going 2x speed limit is loss of driving license.

There's also interesting traffic light system on entrances to cities, that if someone goes over speed limit - light is turning red for a short while. This is very nice, as lights are more respected than speed limits.

High intensity exercise is generally anaerobic yes, not a third type of exercise.

I was really querying your point about high intensity exercise using lactic acid as an energy source. My understanding is that during any exercise, the muscles will first use creatine phosphate as an energy source and will then use blood glucose and stored glycogen for energy, and it is the breakdown of glucose that creates the energy - lactic acid is a by product of this reaction and is not a source of energy so I don't think this would cause blood sugar levels to increase?

Any increase in blood sugar levels following short duration exercise would be due to the body reacting to the fall in glucose levels and so releasing more from the liver to compensate.

Because people need to be told this. Over and over again.

A highly-paid medical doctor saying "You need to eat less and exercise more to lose weight" is not unexpected. The problem is that people really want to eat crap and not exercise and still be healthy.

I (an industrial controls engineer) worked on a website for my employer's small business some years ago. I was given about 40 hours to design and implement the website to describe some 200 products that we've built over the years. Some had pictures, and some even had manuals. Most had some kind of a spreadsheet entry, but between Google (now Open) Refine and some intern hours we had a product page for each. "Magic algorithmic keyword SEO juice" was the desired strategy, such that each product page ought to zoom to the top of Google results for its search term, and I (not being a technical SEO consultant) was unable to effectively convince my boss that hiding 100 copies of the title and thesaurus-generated synonyms in white-on-white text at 0 point at the bottom of the page was not the way to do it, and that linking to it from a useful and therefore popular page would work better.

A lot of small businesses view documentation as pure overhead, to be minimized at all costs. The idea that you'd have a project manager or engineer write up the email you sent (or phone call you narrated) describing how to calibrate an XYZ blagometer, copy edit it, add some diagrams, and post it as an article or whitepaper to improve future sales is viewed as wasteful and not worth the effort.

The SEO industry is like the weight loss industry. When you hear an SEO consultant advocate creating good content, that means they're one of the good ones. If you hear them describe miracle cures, they're a hack.

My phone has a touch screen (a large one), and if I really want to, I can bring up a virtual keyboard, so your point doesn't make sense.

And a hardware keyboard doesn't mean you can't make the user interface better. Android doesn't make very good use of the physical keys, but my old BB10 OS BlackBerry did, because it was designed with it in mind, and it was continually being improved.
Exactly! I just got a Roku. It's a nice monitor, don't try to be good at two things at once, Samsung...
Competition at the OS level is good. Windows getting better will only make others try harder.

As a former Windows user, then macOS convert, I look at what's happening on Windows with envy. macOS is getting prettier and perhaps more consistent, but buggier. It's very frustrating. I've had so many problems with security updates, with both the latest and other supported versions. Apple support is terrible these days. I filed a bug report with them and weeks later they give me absolutely lame replies.

The only thing that gives me pause, still, about Windows 10: it updates when it wants to and that is difficult to turn off (you can set your network to "metered" and I hear that will do it). Also the telemetry. I feel like it spies on its users more than Apple's product does.
