Sun Wukong is five-times-immortal, because apparently each different method of achieving immortality has a loophole through which the immortal may still be killed. The loophole for one may be blocked by another. And if you're already immortal one way, you have time to do all the others, too.

This is why the divine court had to imprison him forever by pinning him down with a mountain heavier than he could lift. Execution wouldn't work.

There are quite a few books, movies, miniseries, and television shows covering this. The Monkey King is a cultural staple in China. Son Goku of Dragon Ball is also based on him. Loosely.

No, I don't. Why are you lying to me?

I looked at your own link for United, and this is what I found:
"Beer, wine and spirits available for purchase on all flights"

Again, why are you lying to me? It's right there in your own link.

Your quote is only for international flights, where of course they're trying to compete with the other international carriers so they change the rules. I'm not talking only about international flights, I'm talking about domestic vs. international carriers, and domestic carriers, on domestic flights, do NOT offer free alcoholic drinks. Of course, I can't compare non-American carriers for domestic flights because American carriers have a government-granted cartel on domestic flights, but I can still compare domestic vs. international carriers' economy services.

>Yes, hot wet towels. You get them before meals on US carriers as well

That's total bullshit. I've flown domestically countless times, over decades, and have never seen this before. Just look at the comments in the video: this is not normal service, and people are commenting this way because they've never seen it either.

Why are you trying so hard to defend American carriers anyway? Do you work for one of them?
>For the record, I’m pro raising the minimum wage. I was just stating that it is absolutely true that _some_ jobs will go away.

Yet the study I linked to very much disagreed with this hypothesis of yours.

You can cut profits without cutting jobs. In fact, it's very easy in an economy where the ratio of profit : GDP is so high.

I write C at work: to me Rust is fun for playing with a more functional style. The type system makes refactoring easy when I mess up. The tooling is good and the answer to 'why is thing X like Y?' is rarely 'because of legacy'.

If Berlin IT industry is a golden standard I'm really not very hopeful for Germany.
I'm not passing a huge amount of judgment on AA here. The world changed a lot in the 30 years since he bought the ticket, or more appropriately, signed the contract. The unit economics of flights in particular tightened so much that the terms of the original contract really needed adjustment.

What I will pass judgment on AA for is in not trying to work constructively towards a resolution. They claimed that he broke rules but the manner in which they dissolved the contract leaves a lot to be desired.

At the end of the day, this was a contract between a business and an ordinary mortal. Ordinary mortals don't have legal teams and dispute resolution processes. They get depressed and have limited attention spans.

AA should have either held up their end of the bargain or bought out his contract if it was no longer making financial sense. So it became a matter of litigation, further adding on to the cost.

Forgetting to use your turn signal, or leaving it on, or running at night without headlights, is "injecting bad data" into the present system.
"Data is just a lot of recorded anecdotes in one place."

I don't agree with this interpretation. Data is the use of quantitative measures to provide sound evidence for a compelling argument. Anecdotes rely on a "shoot from the hip" approach to describing a position. For example, blaming rising minimum wage as the sole factor in the success or failure of a business ignores a whole spectrum of factors (business rent, business insurance, prevailing local population wages, pricing, quality of food, quality of service, etc).

Even if we took all of the anecdotes of these business owners into account and they all said "We had to eliminate staff and hours because of rising minimum wage." it isn't enough to actually support the claim that rising minimum wage causes the problems described. It informs a theory of the effects of rising minimum wage but without all of the supporting evidence and data collection that eliminates possible other influencing factors it is purely anecdotal and should in no way be considered supportive of their claims and therefore does in fact invalidate them.

As an example, suppose that along with the city increasing minimum wage they also increased property taxes gradually over time. The property owners decided to then pass the increase in property taxes onto their renters. Because of the increase in both minimum wage and property taxes occurring at the same time it squeezed the owner's profit margins. The owner unable to do anything about the change in rent focuses entirely on the fact that they had to increase what they pay their employees due to the increase in minimum wage. When interviewed about the situation they only talk about the increase in minimum wage as the problem, which is anecdotal and ignores the other influencing factor, increase in rent due to the increase in property taxes.

> The small bin doesn't seem to smell

I put roughly as much credence in that statement as I would a smoker's that he doesn't really smell like smoke, or a dog owner's that his house doesn't really smell that doggy — i.e., none. I don't mean that rudely; I just don't think you notice the odour.
Not really, no: semi-permeable membranes have the ability to spontaneously generate strong energy / concentration gradients and remove external interference from chemical signals. That's a necessity for life as we know it -- nearly all cellular chemical reactions are driven by concentration gradients across membranes.

The "RNA World" hypothesis [0] and the flexibility of RNA as both a self-replicating and catalytic molecule gives us a pretty convincing conceptual pathway to the development of the central dogma of molecular biology we understand today (DNA -> RNA -> Protein) -- especially considering DNA translation mechanisms are nearly entirely powered by ribozymes. Understanding how semipermeable membranes may spontaneously form to "protect" other molecular species like RNA is a pretty foundational step in trying to understand the recipe for the formation of early life.

The simulation hypothesis is fun and all, but I don't think it's a reasonable stand-in for abiogenesis. You're basically invoking God or a Godlike entity at that point, when we have pretty reasonable pathways to conceptualizing the development of early life.

Not one word in that press release about privacy safeguards.

The benefits are real, but without safeguards it will be abused: police officers and, in this case, also power utility workers likely have full, unaudited access to this data. That means they'll use it to stalk and harass people, e.g. ex-girlfriends, in addition to legit uses.

The way I heard the story everyone could say whatever they wanted on 4chan, but all the discussions were always "won" by the Nazis through better arguments and facts, so everyone else got tired on always getting called out on their own delusions, so they left the place, where only reason and facts prevailed. Hence the necessity to ban them on other platforms, because of the impossibility to win arguments against them. The only way they could keep believing in their delusions (like "people are equal" etc.) was to create safe spaces where they could ban everyone disagreeing with them. Apparently in a truly free space Nazis win all arguments, which makes everyone else leave.

The other explanation is "those people are mean and I don't want to hang around mean people", but that's really not all that different from the first explanation.

>Literally the opposite.

In which case we should see toilets going uncleaned, coffee not being made in response to minimum wage hikes and a clear spike in unemployment that couldn't be attributed to anything else. Doesn't happen (c.f. Dube, Lester, Reich (Nov 2010)).

I did this when I started my first full time role out of college with great success. I was responsible for tons of reports that were manual and tedious. My goal was to improve something about the process every time I did the report. It could be as little as making the label I looked for bold, or as big as refactoring and automating the entire thing. In the same way, I made standard work improvements.

That turned ~4 hrs/day of reports into an automated system, gave me a good understanding of how the various systems and reports work together, and helped me get my first promotion.

I've moved on to a new role where I'm doing the same thing on a process which has been void of substantial improvements for 3+ years. There's always something, and I can remove a bit more time with every automation iteration.

> When you adjust for inflation, the retail cost of video games has never been cheaper, and it’s been this way for some time. The $60 price point for a standard big-budget release has held steady for nearly 15 years...

I guess the constantly growing addressable market just doesn't matter? The human cost has nothing to do with price points or gamer expectations and everything to do with supply and demand. Lots of people want to make games. Developers/publishers take advantage.

> you’ll get a stark—if unscientific—picture of how each big publisher’s release slate has thinned out in the last five years, relying on recurring cash cows like sports games and annualized franchises and little else. In 2008, those three publishers released 98 games; in 2018 they released just 28, not including expansions.

Yeah, because the big publishers _aren't needed_. The tooling a platform like Steam provides has made it much easier to self-publish, or use a small-time publisher instead - your game doesn't need to be on retail shelves to be successful anymore, there's tons of free marking channels available today, all of which combine to make publishers less necessary.

> The foremost takeaway is that while data centers are growing in number, their energy consumption is starting to plateau out of necessity, as the dramatic increase in cloud computing has actually forced tech companies to become more efficient.

This has literally nothing to do with gaming or its sustainability. As the computing/electronics industry moves in more efficient or green directions, gaming hardware (not even the game industry) will follow.

There's problems with the game industry - gambling mechanics, exploitation of "whales", discovery/marketing/shovelwear, how to handle growing international audiences, and so on, but I don't see any of these mentioned in the article.

Email has been the major communication vehicle through my career. The work team I joined a year ago uses Slack. Our employer's official vehicle for "chat" is Teams. My team's high school interns prefer Discord. Some friends use FB Messenger. Others use text.

I have no preference. In the end, all of them can send messages point-to-point or broadcast. You can share documents in all of them. (I haven't tried it in Discord but I assume you can.) I can communicate and get work done in any other them.

Just a few observations.

1. Trying to figure out who communicated where can become challenging.

2. Better integration with "productivity" apps can make 1 less challenging. For instance, a co-worker requests a new API by a certain date. If it's done in Slack, for example, it would help to have it appear in my task list without my having to add it manually. Likewise, a friend sends a message in FB messenger about a cookout: having it go to my calendar would be helpful rather than my remembering a week later which app she sent the message in so I can put it on the calendar manually.

3. My employer is notorious for abusing email. We have message threads with 10-20 people and dozens of replies. Often I would love a way to opt out: a real opt out, not a reply with a request to Reply All minus me. Not having this feature is a deal breaker for email going forward IMO.

this is a hit piece. it is likely that they either manipulated the time period in which the data was taken or they cherry picked the towns the took the data from. most likely they did both. with a population of over a billion. it is easy to manipulate population numbers. what they did is find towns with only one or two births for a given time period and selected a time period that would push their narrative.

the other possibility is that these towns have some messed laws that encourages people to not register their daughter’s birth. this is an issue in many countries and people just ignore these rules and just register their kids in the most beneficial way. of course racist people will take this and claim misogyny.

there is a logical disconnect of people stereotyping countries with the largest population as mistreating females. the lack of critical thinking is appalling. it takes nearly a year to birth a child and requires that the female is a willing participant. they have done this more times in india than in most other countries.

Coroutines are a mechanism that you can use to implement algebraic effects. When the coroutine yields, it yields the tagged effect object which can be used to determine what effect handler to run, and after that whether to resume the evaluation of the coroutine or not.

One obvious difference is that in a statically-typed language with algebraic effects the compiler checks that all the effects are being handled correctly. If you implement these in raw Lua a stray "coroutine.yield" can ruin everything if it doesn't return a properly formed tagged event object.
