Didn't start with the tech industry. If you were a kid in the 80s or 90s, the vast majority of parties were pizza parties. This was also the entire business model of Chuck E Cheeses, which ran a ubiquitous series of commercials in the 80s. Its popularity in late-night hackathons and meetups is likely a holdover from college (where pizza at events is also ubiquitous), which itself is a holdover from childhood.

The history of pizza in the U.S. is itself fascinating. It was largely limited to Italian immigrants until WW2, when soldiers returning from the Italian campaign developed a taste for it. It exploded in popularity afterwards, particularly from the 1960s onwards. This is perhaps related to it being easy to eat without utensils, which made it convenient in the car/drive-in culture of that time period.

I was also surprised to learn that the vast majority of pizza varieties in the U.S. are actually American inventions, and that pizza in Italy basically consists of two varieties: marinara and margherita. All this stuff about pesto pizzas, BBQ chicken pizzas, meat lover's pizza, broccoli pizza, Hawaiian pizza, etc. are North American (including Canadian) inventions.

Among others, listed here[a]. The reasoning seemed sound and I'm easily swayed, so reading that after a couple of weeks of doing 5x5 caused me to switch. Exercises are the same (with the addition of chinups), but configured differently throughout the week.

It turns out bright minds love science, but they also love a decent standard of living and not having their career jeopardized be every time Congress tries to pass a budget.

Yes, there are some really valuable studies out of Australia showing that protein signatures can be retrieved by immunohistochemistry back 80+ years.
>In 2016, biased search results generated by Google’s search algorithm likely impacted undecided voters in a way that gave at least 2.6 million votes to Hillary Clinton.

This is the most important claim that he makes, and as far as I can tell, he gives zero backing for it.

He has two citations. The first citation is a paper showing that re-ordering search results to show links to articles that favor candidate A will cause readers to favor candidate A. The second citation does not give any explanation for the 2.6 million figure.

----

Let's take a look at the second citation: https://www.theepochtimes.com/10-ways-big-tech-can-shift-mil...

>I found pro-Clinton bias in all 10 search positions on the first page of Google’s search results. [...] Because, as I noted earlier, Google’s search algorithm is not constrained by equal-time rules, it almost certainly ends up favoring one candidate over another in most political races, and that shifts opinions and votes.

This is literally true but realistically meaningless. Suppose that there are two candidates for office, A and B. Days before the election, it is revealed that candidate A fucks dogs. The news publishes many articles about candidate A fucking dogs. Google places those articles highly in search results, and many voters see them.

Has Google shown pro-candidate B bias by showing those articles? Obviously not. Unless Epstein can show that a viewpoint-neutral ranking would have produced a different result, what he has is meaningless.
I've thought about creating a family management platform before, but it seemed too weird and farfetched that people would actually use it for a long period of time and not chuck it out.
Users have more power to do that than they think they do! It's really a feature for community moderation, and probably the single most salutary thing we've added to the site in the last five years.
Tools are helpful for being intentional, but so is instruction.

Every family in the world uses IM, and Slack isn't very different from any of the hundred other options out there for group messaging. So not too surprising that families are using it.

Similarly all the other software mentioned can be used for simple calendaring, TODO lists, reminders etc., all of which most people here undoubtedly use in some form to manage their life. It's just the association of these brands with "work" that has people going WTF.
Before I read the article, I don't want to be biased so I'll just comment ahead of time... I want to note that a steady workout routine has helped me _more than anything_ else to control emotional fatalism, anxiety, and depression... and generally make me a more encouraging human being to be around. It's just one data point among millions but for me it's solved a myriad of issues.
Why oh god? Sounds reasonable.

Firstly a calendar can be very useful for knowing which activities kids are doing, what playdates etc. Schools sometimes throw one off things into the mix. Most parents would use a regular calendar anyway.

For JIRA - well that seems a bit heavy handed when trello would do but really it's a good idea. It's a todo list... so is the default todo app on your phone bad? Pen & paper bad? It's the same sort of thing.

You could also serialize the json with a placeholder string (All spaces or zeroes or something), calculate the HMAC, and substitute the string. You could then do that in reverse on the receiving end. The deserialization could easily note the offset of the hmac, which could then easily be verified against the original bytes.
The way to steer clear of flamebait is to provide factual information and avoid pejoratives. Your comment upthread was low on information and high on pejoratives. Flip that ratio and it will help a lot.
Stephen's Sausage Roll is great little puzzle game I've spent hours playing. Not an easy game by any means, but it's easy to get lost in it & kill a few hours. The puzzles have no time component, which is great, I'm not a fast thinker so timers just annoy me.

> Panning shots in movies now look absolutely terrible and some shots have become basically unwatchable, looking jerky and unrefined. I feel like I'm missing a lot of information such as reading signs.

Like you were implying, they were shot, edited, and delivered with those limitations in mind. Of course, they were done for the cinema and home theater is a close approximation.

I remember hearing cinematographers talk about working with IMAX and panning was something they specifically brought up. If you shot something in a way you would for 35mm (normal movies), things may jump 10+ feet between each frame. So you have to go much slower or choose not to use a pan. The same attention would be done if they used other tools like shooting digital or on video or were shooting for television.
what's the point in diversifying in time if one believes one cant time the market. the only point i see is "piece of mind" in case the market tanks you wont feel so bad.

If one believes

a) one can't time the market
b) the market (as a whole) trends up over time

doesn't this means that on average the best time to invest money is as soon as you can (of course there are other reasons to take you time, but I don't see how "diversifying by time" is a good reason as it would seem to imply market timing)

I have the P1000, it is amaaaazing.

The moon will completely fill the frame.

You can look at airliners and read the tail numbers. At high zoom levels tracking the airliners is the hard part. You have to have a steady hand, although the image stabilization really helps. It also has a quick-zoom
feature allowing you to zoom-out, locate and center something and snap back
quickly.

The article seems to indiate the p1000 doesn't have optical image stabilization, but it does.

But the p1000 does NOT have ISO 819200 or heat haze correction. That sounds pretty cool. With the p1000 you will see atmospheric shimmering pretty often.
True, the income comparison is spurious, but the followup statistic is directly comparable:

Sadly, no. Watch the opening of "The Hobbit" at high frame rate. It looks like a Mexican soap opera. High frame rate also messes up things like motion blur (and blurring over more than one frame is horribly difficult).

I've already started snarkily saying that machine learning experts are people who believe that their degree in statistics allows them to ignore the correlation causation fallacy.

To put that point another way: It's commonly known that shark attacks are rare. But that's because we know where sharks are. We don't swim in beaches where sharks can easily swim, and rarely far out enough for them to be prowling. When swimming in deep water, shark attacks are comparable to risks of sports like cycling [1]. Sharks aren't going to kill you, but if we didn't have institutional knowledge of where they attacked (and continued watersports at the rate we currently have), you'd likely know someone who died of one.

I understand the point the author wants to make, but I think they fail to make it.

As an example, the idea that "there could be a mind that eats food but doesn't taste it" is silly. We were always going to evolve a way to "scan" food for it's properties. It just makes evolutionary sense. The more information the better. Not to mention the reward aspect (there is some reward for doing everything that contributes to survivial). Of course food tastes good.

Another example the author uses "red looks red" is equally unconsidered. It's a mental representation of light. There are evolutionary reasons for being able to distinguish colors, and they have to be represented mentally somehow. Why doesn't it look like blue? Who cares? All that matters is that it has a distinct representation.

Also in the article, the "why do rotten eggs smell bad" example... Because sulfurous compounds are the result of the metabolic processes of various bacteria. Because those bacteria are present in rotting things, which can cause illness, we have evolved to find them repellent.

Why are my experiences different from others? Because that's just how biological organisms beyond a certain complexity work. No two are alike.

A similarly obvious explanation exists for every example in the article. I see no compelling case that experience cannot be described through biological processes or that consciousness didn't arise from complexity.

I'm not saying there aren't interesting mysteries where consciousness is concerned, just that this article seems to completely fail to explore them.
I don't know, in west coast tech centers, it's pretty much a meme that all tech bros rock climb/boulder.
Trucker. The nanny-tron can be annoying. But it can also save you some hassle when you're in the right, as it has for me. And it's reasonable easy to stay on Nanny's good side, just drive safe and sane, and follow the rules.

I doubt they'll turn off the nannies, companies get dinged by the feds when drivers screw up.
Nice idea, but I think this misses the reality of what is happening.
Instagram is removing likes because it incentivises an economic system that they are not only left out of, but is a net cost to them.

Top influencers make a lot of money based on those metrics, Instagram doesn't see a cent of that yet they support these "businesses". Does anyone consider what it costs to distribute a post to 10s of millions of people? As an analogy, consider a system where advertisers paid the actor and the film crew to produce an ad, which was then distributed for free by the television studio. Not going to happen as it's completely unsustainable. Instagram is increasing the monetisation of the platform, and allowing advertisers free direct access to the metrics means you can't sell it.

Once it's gone, expect Instagram to roll out a new system where influencers will need to pay for potential reach and Instagram will start making a lot of money.
If you are looking for a "standard" American home you aren't going to find it. It is a large country, and there is a ton of diversity. People mentioned in the article are as American as anyone else.
Ha, very interesting, thanks for the insight. I am not from the US, so I guess that's why it was always fascinating for me. But it makes total sense, given that american culture (I live in the States nowadays) appreciates speed and comfort. Pizza is fast, easy to eat, everybody is easily onboard with the idea.
lhorie and smuemd, thank you for the additional detail, but as a non-Mithril user I still don't understand the big picture.

For example, Vue 2.0's announcement[1] made clear that the release was about performance, new render functions enabling new component-based patterns, and server-side rendering.

What's going to "wow" Vue and React users who haven't looked at Mithril?

Technically it appears that I'm advocating for a combination of inline and top posting. Quoting the relevant wikipedia part:

> Dont want Motion Smoothing? Start shooting in 60Hz.

A few like James Cameron and Peter Jackson have tried. Nobody liked it because it looked like a soap opera. I'm not against higher fps, but film has some historical limitations it clings to that remind us it's "film" such as 24fps and widescreen.

The big complaint is that it's on by default--it's not something people are (explicitly) choosing.

Personally, I hate motion smoothing. It's just a gimmick to add a bullet list to the box. I figure it might be useful for sports (I would say video games, but it generally introduces a noticeable lag). It sucks that it's on by default and not consistent or obvious to turn off. If you're happy to opt-in, you do you.
What does it say about us as a society in which a pre-high school child needs to use a productivity suite to manage their lives? The answer here is not to provide more software to allow 11 year olds to eek out a few extra percentage points of productivity. The answer is to expect less of 11 year olds.

Paying the mortgage is usually a bad idea. Assuming we are taking about the US, mortgage interests are tax deductible up to 750k (there are also deductions in most other countries), you already paid the mortgage origination fee, and usually you pay an interest rate that is not too high (if it is, you should consider renegotiating your mortgage, rather than paying it off).

I tried various compression algorithms. I don't think there was a CPU bottleneck, at least not with the less aggressive compressions. blktrace showed the difference compared to ext4, squashfs does all reads one by one block.

It was in a previous job. I don't have access to the details anymore. And the kernel was not the newest. But squashfs looked unmaintained already then and that's what they're saying elsewhere in the discussion. So I fear nothing has changed.

The media bourgeoisie have long done this sort of cross promotion and elevation, but it takes some audacity to pull off a display like this to further increase notoriety.
