Networking infrastructure / tools are in the stone age compared to what we have in the software world. I am inclined to cut them some slack.
That was over a century ago (although within the “century or two” limit specified). But it’s not at all characteristic of the majority of scientific discoveries made in the last century, which were largely made by professional scientists and grad students on their way to becoming professionals. The list of Nobel Prizes in various sciences over the past century I think demonstrates this.
AWS is pushing Organizations/Accounts as something like GCP's Projects and it mostly works, cross account iam works pretty good, so does many other services but sadly this is not reflected in the support subscriptions.

You want help with a problem in your staging account? pay for support, fair enough. You want help with your production? oh sorry, you have to pay again.
Cheaper? They could be selling.
Here's a PDF of the referenced study on noise levels in subways:

I've got nothing to contribute, except that pretty much every time I ask a PM for clarification on a concern I have at work and they say "oh, that can't happen/never happens" it happens about 30 seconds later. Or it happened 30 seconds ago, which is why I was asking.
Right. So there's a risk to building the platform. If the company solely had to foot the bill for any cleanup, it could make a calculation of risk factoring in potential profits, the risk of a bad event and the cost of protecting against such an event.

But they don't have to do that. They can take the rig profits, install the minimum protections under the law and know they won't have to carry the full cost of cleanup.
It is simply one facet of more pervasive deceit in society.

And that's probably rooted in people being fundamentally devalued and taken advantage of.

We are seeing worse income inequality than in The Gilded Age and people act like it's a natural and unavoidable side effect of the existence of tech, the internet, whatever. That's BS. People created these things. If these things exploit people, it's because people designed them to exploit people.

If people want people to be treated better, then people need to stop blaming machines for our social values. Tech merely magnifies those values. It doesn't cause them to exist.

Bill Gates said that automating an efficient system amplifies the efficiency and automating an inefficient system amplifies the inefficiency. I propose that you can similarly amplify whatever underlying social values you have, whether that's something good -- pro education! -- or something bad -- racism and misogyny!

And classism. We are using technology to amplify extractive economic practices, then blaming the robots as if Judgement Day had already arrived and Skynet is now in charge of our lives. (A la the Terminator movies.)
We did, that's why today I am not as worried as I was in those first week. We were advised that, with the insurance and Medical, it's possible we won't have to pay a cent for the babies. My wife medical bills were more reasonable and we already managed to pay them.

I don't think you're accurate on this. They're a browser spec not an drop in library. I don't know why the makers of the browser engine would ship something like that.
Maybe for general medicine. In modern psychiatry, however, the standard approach is to throw psych drugs at the patient until one works. Some of those have horrible side effects, too.

Since psychedelics would mostly be used for treating psych disorders, I hardly see a difference.

Immigrants are known to sacrifice more for future generations i.e. two families in a small house to make ends meet.

I think open borders is a good idea it's humane. I think adding a federal vat or sales tax would help get taxes from those who do come. I think full citizenship should definitely have a build up (state benefits, voting rights, etc), but anyone should be allowed to come/go as they please. A tax on goods purchased would ensure that all who are here would pay.

I think we could even move from income taxes to sales taxes and possibly property taxes (all purchases including business purchases like employee salaries, etc would have the same tax, all investments would have the tax on the initial investment, and the institute receiving the investment would pay a tax on the interest since they are paying that to the recipient before the recipient receives it).

Homes, boats, cars, airplanes, all taxed at purchase. Tax rate would be decidable by congress based on current needs. This would go hand in hand though with guaranteed basic income and ending welfare. Tax rate would burden the lower 1/3rd so GBI would need to be a necessity to offset that and would be adjustable based on housing estimates -- the goal should be to get everyone into a home, and if people are still homeless it's possibly not enough. Though, a home address should also be required within 3 months of receiving GBI to continue receiving it.

Welfare should turn into social workers who are helping the homeless adjust to being non-homeless and ensuring they meet minimal guidelines to receive GBI which is - be living in a home, and not just paying someone to say you live there.

I'm for single-payer but not sure how we'd pay for immigrant coverage, perhaps they'd need to use coverage from their home country of citizenship or buy a plan to be covered? It might be a moot issue if the costs of hospital and drugs go down enough and we end up paying less to cover anyone in the country, but I also think we need to work w/ the world in general to adopt open borders everywhere so the U.S. is not the only place people can/will go.

TLDR; Open borders yes, income tax replaced by VAT/Sales, Single Payer and Guaranteed Basic income are a must for citizens only for VAT to work. Be humane but don't encourage 'leeching', other than having access immigrants would not receive benefits for being here until they're citizens and would pay higher VAT than citizens and greencard holders. I think a job guarantee is unrealistic jobs come and go and there's an entire industry of self-employeed contractors now via UBER / DoorDash / etc that would provide opportunities for newbies to work and support their families.
You're correct. I can no longer edit my post, but I should have specified. There's no true "equivalent" of downvoting posts, just the flag system which downweights posts like downvotes do comments. After it reaches a threshold, the post becomes hidden.

It is supposed to be used strictly for posts that violate the guidelines (i.e. off-topic, reposts, incorrect titling, etc). If a user keeps flagging content inappropriately, action may be taken against the user instead.
One more thing, related or not: I play guitar and keyboard. Not virtuoso but I can play. I can only remember chords I practised or used from muscle memory, and although I play both for over 25 years, I can't for the life of me remember the notes on the strings beyond the two E-s. Keyboards are easier for me in that regard. I also never remember chords for songs so me playing is pretty much either improvisations or having a song chords in front of me.
Efficient handling of authorization failures is neither necessary nor sufficient to preventing such denials of service.
If done only ~3 times, and only considering outcomes that manifest within a day or so. On possible harms beyond that the study is silent.
I was amused to read this morning that Microsoft's new Terminal client has "GPU accelerated text rendering engine". WT actual F??? You can't run a terminal window without a few Gig of video ram and a couple of teraflops of GPU horsepower??? Boggle!

State insurance & hospital regulators can sometimes be helpful. Might try your state senator or representative's office. Sometimes if the officials are feeling salty they'll get directly involved and fix things for you, but at least their offices usually point you in the right direction for further help.
> What's the driver of this clickbait/instant gratification/hot take culture that's developing? Is it just ads?

It's essentially a race-to-the-bottom situation. Media that don't employ clickbait will lose out to others that are making tons of money catering to instant gratification.
I suspect many people prefer earphones that aren’t a tight fit. Anecdotally I have wired Bose noise cancelling ear phones I wear in noisy environments like planes. But I prefer AirPods for more routine use. They’re just more comfortable.
Is there a paper or presentation (with methods/data) on this? I've been looking but I haven't found much.
I think it’s silly that we have to medicalize mind altering drugs. Why does it have to be a treatment for something?
If you read further down there are plenty of citations.

"Brian Fligor, an audiologist who has studied the impact of earbuds on hearing damage, says that people typically listen to their earbuds about 13 decibels higher than the background noise."

"2014 research, conducted by Fligor and others, looked at the impact of urban environments on people’s headphone listening levels by measuring sound levels through a mannequin’s ears. The research involved asking passersby to take their headphones off and place them on this mannequin at the same volume level they had been listening to. The average listening level was 94 decibels, 58 percent of people polled were exceeding their weekly sound exposure limit — and an overwhelming 92 percent of them were wearing AirPod-style earbuds."

"2014 research" links to https://www.researchgate.net/publication/261256174_Cultural_...

"According to the American Osteopathic Association, approximately one in five teens today suffer some form of hearing damage, a rate that’s 30 percent higher than it was 20 years ago. The World Health Organization estimates that over “1 billion young people” are at risk of hearing loss, primarily from listening to music on headphones or earbuds."

There are links in those two sentences, too.
For me it's understanding how a CPU works at the lower levels. Seeing complex functionality arise from such simple things like transistors is quite amazing.
I thought that insurance fees were capped at $7 - 10k even with high deductible plans. Even if the bill is split over two years, it's $20k.

How does the insurance bill end up being so high?
The researcher did not consider the cultural difference at all (eg, in China, that kind of 'wallet' would not be considered as a real wallet and Chinese ppl rarely use email as contact way.), which means the samples and results are completely meaningless. Now I really doubt the ability of the editor of Science....
it's so simple.

This looks more like people new to the internet discovering what everyone else already knew: You can't trust strangers on the internet. You never could.

If anything the internet nowadays is a more regulated, safer place than it used to be. The "wild west" internet of old now only endures in certain corners. It's no longer synonymous with the thing itself.

Posting with your full name instead of anonymously or pseudonymously is now the norm for many people. This changed how people interact online, but it also changed their expectations.

A full name however doesn't make a person or their opinions any more real than a pseudonym will. People will lie to you with a fake name just as shamelessly as they would hiding behind a pseudonym.
I have experience with LSD as well, and profound thoughts and feelings are different. I've used a lot of weed, too, and I can elaborate on some differences.

When I'm high on weed, I've learned the hard way, to not share those ideas with the world of the sober until I myself have sobered up. Those ideas are typically the product of profound feelings. Sometimes they're deep or novel... but it's rare.

I've been much more judicious about my LSD use. I use it when I'm in a rough spot emotionally. The thoughts and feelings can be similar to a rollercoaster ride -- I'm often all over the place from introspective to giggly. I see my problem from many perspectives and emotional states. Often times, something will click. And that's something I can bring back up with me because what I was looking for was resolution of an emotional knot. Am I finding profound truths about the universe? No. Am I making profound discoveries about my inner truth? Yes, and the discoveries result in enduring solutions to problems -- often, problems which have plagued me for month.
Everest is not mountain climbing anymore, hasn’t been for years. It’s a dangerous guided hike for a very expensive selfie. If you want a real challenge go to K2 or basically anywhere else. I have more respect for people that climb their local peak than those who summit Everest.

With the right amount of drinks, I'd argue that architecturally a Cray1 is "spiritually closer" to a modern video card that a CPU... So you can get 4-5 teraflops for ~$500 that way...
As a software engineer, I get bored by looking at monitors and typing on keyboards. I want to make something physical. I have learned verilog and some drag n drop tool I don't recall its name, but at this point, I don't remember anything.

My interests in electronics come from my interests in robotics. I basically need a tool to draw simply pcb boards, and send them for manufacturing, or at least get an estimate on how much to manufacture. This is what I want to build https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/118671

I think it needs a mode where you can watch for few minutes while the image slowly develops. That was half of the fun of Polaroids.
For the open office, my Sony XM3s are extremely easy to take on and off in an instant - and offer extremely good cancellation, and OK sound quality for programming.

My Audio Technica ATH-IM02 earbuds in comparison require very careful positioning, even though it offers far superior quality in a quiet environment.

There is a reason that candidates likes this are all at the margin - they never consider the second order effects of their ideas. While his goal may be laudable, it would harm way more people than it would help.

Let’s look at a couple simple things that getting rid of oil production would impact. (and keep in mind I’m keeping this short because typing on a mobile device sucks)

1 - price of electricity would go up (due to fuel costs)
2 - price of concrete would go up (due to both carbon usage and energy usage)
3 - price of steel would go up (probably way up due to the energy Use)
4 - price of plastic would go up (because of higher material cost)

Other third-order effects would happen too:

5 - price of food would go up (because of higher fuel and material cost)
6 - housing costs would rise (due to energy costs and things like PVC which make up huge portions of any modern plumbing system)
7 - inflation would rise (due to energy, food, and materials price increases)

And it just gets worse, hitting those on a budget or low income especially hard.

Again, the ideas may be laudable, but changes like this take decades - like 5+ decades, not just one or two.
LibreOffice and its predecessors (OpenOffice and StarOffice) have always been considered bloated for as long as I could remember, which is nearly 20 years. While I'm very grateful for having a free, open source office suite, I've always found OpenOffice and LibreOffice to be rather clunky no matter what platform I'm using. This is especially true on macOS where a lot of the UI elements of LibreOffice don't fit in with regular Mac applications, although thankfully things have progressed from the days of having to run the even-slower NeoOffice on Mac OS X Tiger, which used the Java runtime (I remember it taking up to 15 seconds to load on my 1.83GHz Core Duo MacBook back in 2006). It might have to do with how LibreOffice decided to handle its UI elements. Writing cross-platform software is hard, and it often results in making compromises that affect conformance with specific platform UI guidelines and performance (consider how controversial Electron apps are with some users, for example).

But even with LibreOffice's clunkiness, I still use it at home. While I am partial to Apple Keynote for presentations, I prefer LibreOffice Writer and LibreOffice Calc to Apple Pages and Apple Numbers, respectively. And whenever I'm on a Linux or FreeBSD machine, LibreOffice is available for me to use, while iWork and Microsoft Office are not options.
See my answer to beachwood23. Good luck!
It's a great paperweight!

I'm sure it does other things too but I haven't got round to it yet :).
What do you actually do about an alarm? Okay, I just got an email, check there's no release planned, I go through the diff and, oh crap, my customers are being pwned. Now I'm going to have to drop everything and manually disable those URLs until I can contact the maintainer of this service? I guess that's the unfortunate reality when using SaaS.

I'd want a runbook feature so that anyone getting the email has a procedure to:

* check release notes to identify a false alarm

* if not identify which source files the URL is used in

* disable those URLs

* flush caches

* confirm they're disabled

* contact the service provider

* roll back when upstream is fixed

Or something like that. Man, I do not miss ops work.
Flippers don’t, but you can fix it up, rent for a reasonable period of time and then sell.
Why do we make earbuds that are even capable of causing damage to a person's ear?
One thing that's often overlooked is the noise levels of our streets (or environments more broadly).

Often I have to crank-up the volume on my phone because the street I'm walking along is so loud.

There are dump trucks, construction work, motorcycles, and buses driving and stopping only a few metres away, it can get loud very suddenly.

And I'm not traveling along highways. I live in downtown Vancouver, walking along one-way streets like Hornby.

Just something I've noticed recently.
Which is basically always the case, VC is such a niche business with such enormous power laws we'll always be able to say that things are subject to survivorship bias.

This is terrible and I feel for you... but you might have insurance kick in to help you out. The absolutely amoral thing here is that people without insurance (or poor coverage) can end up getting a debt like this placed fully on their shoulders and be chased by debt collection for the rest of their lives.

These costs were totally unreasonable, 35-50 dollars for a pacifier is just absurd and the fact that this price is hidden and reduced from most consumers means that it can continue being the sticker price.

America needs to seriously fix this BS.
I don't know about your local distributor, but RS Components will sell you as many as you like; they've currently got 47,400 3B+ boards in stock, no maximum order and a price break at full box quantities (150).

It’s cool (at least to me) that a software can simulate the physics world fast & accurately.
It makes some interesting ideas pop out of my head, e.g. making some flip/flops and compose them into a basic 8-bit CPU and simulate.

Overall it’s similar to where people get excited with minecraft. I’m pretty sure people who upvoted this article also has some interest in minecraft.

I agree with this. I mean, a lot of psychedelic trips made me feel that I was "one with the universe", a transcended higher being or something bizarre like that, but at the end of the day they were still just trips. I also imagine that a lot of my views back then were shaped by excessive obsession with people like Terrence McKenna and other thinkers like that. Maybe I would've tripped differently otherwise.

I honestly preferred the predictable nature of opiates/meth or the other prescription medication I was on. Drugs in these class are pretty honest about what they're offering.

In any case, you're right about the "lots of drugs make you think you're smarter than you really are" bit.

when sound pressure * hour == much stress to your ear.
same logic, if sound origin getting much closer from your drumstick, your ears can damage.
most worries are it won't be suddenly.
the habit using earbuds most hours makes slowly killing your ear.
The ear is pretty most impossible to cure.
so, keep volume down and use speaker rather than earbuds.

I think your observation actually strengthens the parent comment’s point that people are more capable than they realize in researching and holding opinions on the world. Political pundits you see on cable, for instance, have largely the same credibility as the rest of us. What makes them pundits is that they’re paid for their opinion.

Edit: rereading the comments I think you may not have been trying to be contrary at all—my apologies for implying you were.
I love my flair espresso machine.

I put the cylinder (~= group head) in the water as I bring it it up to temperature, and get extremely consistent results.

I have a PID controlled kettle, and a high end burr grinder. The setup compares favorably with high end manual machines at work.

I usually make two batches (2 double shots) with the flair, fwiw.
I know a student programmer at the university data center that got caught sniffing through the network logs of other students.
It also reminds of a quirk in DB2. I'm not sure if this is still the case, but in versions 6 and 7 circa 2003, '2019-06-24T24:00:00' and '2019-06-25T00:00:00' would never compare equal, yet they are the exact same point in time, excepting some rare leap seconds.

I imagine that it doesn’t need to support all of C, so much as it needs to support enough of C to compile a more featureful C compiler.

Which makes for a pertinent question: can you compile GCC or Clang with this?
