Thanks for sharing that! I've been toying with the idea of building a minimalist Hugo template based on this guy's site: https://jrl.ninja/etc/1/

I might include typesafe-css into it as well, if I ever get to it
Thanks for the thorough evaluation and results! I was aware of colorspacious but I (wrongfully) assumed that it would be the same result as the other simulators (why would someone use ancient literature to make a modern tool...) Will definitely use it in the future instead.

I like your idea of measuring "distances to all other colors" as a litmus test for color confusion issues. It would have been great to see the spread/standard deviation along with the average, in order to see which color was particularly problematic, rather than simply 'weak' (like Twilight).

You're right that under this rubric it's probably not possible to create a colorblind-friendly rainbow map. I was aiming for the colors to be distinguishable, but not 'equally different', which is a much higher bar.

I am also not convinced that even CIECAM02-UCS can give a meaningful answer for 'long distances'. Once hues are different, I think psychologically we give that 'difference' much more weight than the shade. For example I would guess most people would consider Red and Yellow more different than Red and an (equally dE different) darker shade of Red. So surely this would make rainbows even more problematic.

At the end of the day, Turbo was basically designed to steer Jet-lovers to a somewhat better place, so it looks like by your metric it does accomplish that. I agree that making it truly colorblind-optimal was not accomplished, and would require significant changes (if it's even possible).
We are not replacing ads on any site right now, and we won't do it without the publisher as partner, getting 70% of the gross revenue.
And you are definitely a cat lover if you misread the title as "Let's build houses for people, not cats" and your first thought is "no way!" :^)
No it's not for everyone, but if you don't have any ties and you want to save up money, it's really nice working remotely in a rural area.

I much prefer it out here.
Do you know what fraction of world calories that type of land is?

Otherwise this objection is a case of 'an edge case exists, and I would like you to imagine that it is the major determining factor.'
It isn't discrimination to treat people differently. By this logic you shouldn't have handicap parking spaces because that discriminates against people that can't use them. Making people pay the same amount of money for the same crime is discriminating against the poor because the effect on them is higher even though it was the same crime.

Ok so us normies out here who use the ok gesture and have no idea about the stupid 4 chan meme are going to be considered white nationalists now? Seems like a good way to make a problem where there isn't one.
First of all, I've taken them, so I know anecdotally.

Secondly, the bond strength is what makes them much more addictive. It's why Heroin is more addictive than Morphine. Why Fentanyl is more addictive than Heroin. And so on. Weaker drugs, one may need to take higher mg doses but tend to be less addictive.
It might not be how parents work but it is how innovation works in most industries, so what are we really rewarding here?

Being first to claim it doesn't mean you're the first to "invent" something and are the only one who should be given the power who gets to turn it into a real life thing and make it actually useful.
I bought a A1 sized picture frame from a french seller for around $50 on Amazon. It was a total pain getting an affordable frame in A1 size, because the best we can get easily in America is a 24x36" which is just far enough off to be unusable.

When it arrived, it had some damage to the acrylic and I wanted to return it. Amazon Support said they would reimburse me up to $20 for shipping it back, but when I took it to UPS they wanted $370 just to ship it back.

I have no idea how shipping costs are determined. I'm sure the seller didn't pay $370 to send it to me.
Every proven technology was unproven once. I remember when people said Java was too risky, GC was too slow, and it would never take off.

Totally agree. We continue to view housing as a physical product when we should consider it to be a financial service instead. Because that's what developers are building - a way for us to consume a financial product called a morgage.
Run `csi --help` and find out?
Depending on the reason, anything from additional fines, commuting the sentence to community service, or perhaps jail.

There's a big difference between someone not paying a fine because their flat-out broke and not paying it because "fuck the system, I'm above the law."

Zero-Tolerance and One-Size-Fits-All policies are destructively stupid and result in bad outcomes. Context matters in a system of jurisprudence, but ignoring it makes the lives of those implementing and managing them easier though, which is probably the point.
That's a great point about the pill as a daily reminder -- the control and intervention groups otherwise received healthy lifestyle training every 6 months.

Could you also tell why ?
I think the biggest issue in this thread is the multiple definitions of what a cloud is. To most of the people in this thread, the cloud isn't possible at home. To consumers, the cloud is just somewhere else to store their files. This addresses the latter, giving consumers an easy way to store their files on a "server" i.e. their computers, while having it in your home.
"Economics" unfortunately excludes numerous costs and risks associated with both provisioning and consumption of resources, including not only economic impacts, but fully-costed ecological inputs. Most especially in the accounting and market price mechanisms for utilisation of nonrenewable (or, read equivalently: nonsustainably-utilised) resources.

The alternatives to sustainable, integrated, ecological agricultural methods are "cheaper" because the market doesn't price in the 5-million-years-to-one rate at which we're extracting fossil fuels from the Earth over that at which they'd been put there,[1] of the strip-mining of topsoil at rates 100x - 1000x greater than those at which it had formed, of the natural-gas-fed fixing of atmospheric nitrogen (again at a roughly 5 million:1 ratio of inputs), of the mining of phosphorus, another critical fertiliser (potash is, for the moment, relatively abundant), of the impacts of eutrophication of rivers, wetlands, and oceans near ag-land outflows, of the systemic risks posed by monoculture cultivation, of the systemic ecological impacts of pesticide use, of the destruction of virgin ecosystems and biological diversity, and more.[2]

The "economic" costs are actually financialised costs, which include a long, peculiar, historically-contingent, largely malformed and false worldview model origin, which persists for numerous reasons, largely boiling down to being a highly convenient fiction for contemporary beneficiaries of this particular theology. Though the difficulty in moving to a more accurate, realistic, and one might hope sustainable model is severe. The convenience of the modern lie is profound.

Upshot: "cheaper" is based on invalid models heaped on invalid models. There's a vast unbooked debt accumulating.

2. Lev Tolstoy has an early and fascinating discussion of cost accounting and factors of production in What Shall We Do Then (https://archive.org/details/whatshallwedothe00tolsrich/page/...), finding the standard three-factor model of the time, land, labour, and capital, insufficient.

The economic theory seems to derive directly from cost accounting, dating principally to Alexander Hamilton Church (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Hamilton_Church). The problem of defining economic theory to guide accounts based on what accounts tallied to inform economists seems ... problematic.

The legal and economic theory of extractive resources has a long, problematic, and almost entirely unscientific history, specifically the Rule of Capture and its logic, and the principle theory of pricing, which though largely dismissed doesn't seem to have found a replacement: Hotelling's Rule.
> I think you'll agree that actually dismissing the director of an important research institution is very much more important than whatever new prank Boghossian has played on the “identitarian left”

I don't agree. Dismissing this discussion as a "prank" played on the "identitarian left" is not accurate or does it adequately convey the weight of the discussion.

So while I do agree what you are saying is troubling, both the "left" and the "right" are swing their axes at the bottom of the tree of civilization.

I had a neighbor for while who worked full-time for USPS. Postal workers provide reliable service, and are able to earn a livable wage without driving themselves into the ground like the contractor delivery services. I like that USPS is a piece of the American infrastructure fabric, and I like that it employs local people in a sustainable way.

I do not consume nearly enough things that require international shipping to value cheap shipping more. And even if I did, the ethical implications involved with destroying decent jobs for Americans and losing a piece of our national delivery network would stil not make it worthwhile sacrifice in my book.

It's not possible without essentially destroying the entire city and rebuilding it with more dense buildings. Public transit would be intolerably bad, because the parking lots are too big. The buildings are too far apart, and too far from the roads. You would have to have stops so frequent that it would take too long to get anywhere that was far away, and you would still be dropped off a significant walk from any building.
> What prevents us from using traditional selective breeding on humans?

Much human breeding is traditional selective breeding (whether using sperm/egg donors or more ancient methods, pairings are often selected based in part on the expected genetically-determined qualities of any offspring), but it's just not a program maintained over many generations with consistent selection criteria, outside of conspiracy theories and science fiction (e.g., Heinlein’s Howard Families.)

Shorter term (usually not by intent) eugenics programs have been tried, and they are usually moral disasters tied to movements that are rapidly (sometimes violently) rejected, or at least the eugenics portion of the program is abandoned before long.
In all cases regulation came later, often much later. And the result is that many industries that got going in California, such as the manufacture of semiconductors at scale, wound up moving elsewhere. But so far, at least, we've been lucky enough to dream up new ones. :-)

This is empirically false. California's fastest growth for technology (i.e., Silicon Valley post-chip manufacturing), entertainment (i.e., films, video games, and music), and agriculture all took place after the introduction of regulations.

Silicon Valley flourished because regulations protected workers' rights. Entertainment flourished because local governments passed laws incentivizing film production and protecting workers' rights. Agriculture flourished because water-use regulations protected agricultural uses over residential/commercial usage.

In all cases, yes--the industry came first. But these industries didn't flourish until after the regulations came.

And the crazy thing is that despite all the regulation, CA's industries are still flourishing. It turns out that a company that can survive the costs of CA regulation can survive pretty much anything; a company that can't simply doesn't have a viable business model.
Like Internet peering agreements, the UPU model only made sense when there was about the same amount of traffic going in each direction. In that case, it makes sense for each country to just pick up the cost of domestic last-mile delivery, because other countries are doing the same for its outbound packages.

The problem is when there's a continuous structural trade imbalance, and more packages flow one direction than in the other. Then you have a de facto subsidy scheme, and it makes sense to terminate or renegotiate the agreement and switch to something more along the lines of sender-pays.
I'd be curious to see the same network dumps, but from the very early versions of Chrome and Firefox 2 or 3 .. and maybe even IE6/7/8.
The market response to the California housing crisis has generally been to build new housing at the top of the market. A large reason for that is that construction costs are a smaller percentage of housing in California due to high cost of land.

We also need to recognize that trickle down economics doesn't work when it comes to housing just like it doesn't work when it comes other areas of economics. A 1500 square foot high rise 1 bedroom condo with an in-unit washer and dryer is so different from a 200 square foot unit that doesn't even have an in-unit shower that they function as completely separate markets.

Those two things mean we likely need more regulation not less. Although that doesn't mean the regulation we have currently is necessarily good. Removing regulation regarding parking might still be a smart move.

Hmm... you can't set up Do Not Disturb to turn on during those times? I'm not trying to be argumentative, I'm just surprised because I've experienced the exact opposite. As I've gotten busier, the watch has helped me prioritize what contact is important and what's not. My wife, for example, can always contact me, even if I'm in DnD. No one else can, though.

They have zero power. The US can destroy the UN in a flash.
But in that instance, humanity would pay much more than extra bucks for shipping crap we don't need.

A strong AND fair UN is a good deterrent for world wars.
Of course, it's better to renegotiate any precieved unfairness than to just blow all violence avoidance safeguards like a world congress.

China got away with their economic trickery because of US corporate greed and short sightedness combined with the US public insatiable consumerism.
But we humans have a short memory and we like being empowered by bully leaders.

Let's just hope we'll survive this age without too much bloodshed.
What is holding up the price of level 2 outlets? I would imagine there are several options for level 2 outlets and chargers. Of course, it looks like they're pretty expensive, but the question is why?
> Coming from swift the ?. syntax feels weird to me because it implies there is some property accessed or method called when there is not.

There is. "[]" is a method in Dart. In Dart, almost all operators are syntactic sugar for corresponding method calls on the left-hand operand. In Dart, lists and maps are built into the core library, but the "[]" syntax is not special to those types. Any user-defined class is free to implement the subscript operator too.

In practice, this is useful because it means user-defined classes can implement the List and Map interfaces. This gives user collections the same ease of use as built-in ones.
Not really a strawman. In reality, sperm banks are not regulated closely at all. Most of the laws have to do with parental rights, not "quality control." Even self-regulation is just that and nothing more.

The idea that people choosing donors from a catalog amounts to eugenics assumes that the people choosing the donor (in the case of anonymous donors, which is only a portion of all artificially inseminated children) have some rigor in choosing; i.e., that marketing doesn't influence them somehow. Most of the supposed rigorous screening is nothing more than checking boxes for physical characteristics such as height and eye color, education level attained, and family history of certain diseases.

There have been quite a few sperm bank scandals, including one where the proprietor of the sperm bank used his own seed even though he told his cutomers they were selecting someone else's from a catalog. The Dutch case is notable because it violates one of the recommendations (no law in the U.S.) that limit a donor to 25 births per 800,000 population. [0] But it is certainly not the only case.

[0] "The closest thing to a regulatory body overseeing sperm donation throughout the U.S. is a nonprofit called the American Society of Reproductive Medicine. The ASRM has a set of recommendations that physicians, fertility specialists, and sperm banks are encouraged to follow."

"The ASRM also recommends setting a limit of 25 births per donor within a population of 800,000, in order to lower the risk of accidental incestuous relations. In many other countries, there are laws putting caps on the number of births per single donor within populations of a certain size, but the U.S. doesn’t have any such law."

Digital replication is easy and the mass adoption of digital mediums has rendered old business models ineffective. This is called progress. We've created something so great (computing, the internet) that its displaced much of what was before.

The root model is still very much effectual: trade goods and services. If you sell a hardback copy of your book then you can make a margin from people who buy it to have in their offline library. If you perform your music live then you can profit off of your audience. If you open source your software then you can build a company offering consulting around it.

Just think about the amount of advertising and reach that people have access to now. Using your example; giving away a million mix tapes to sell a hundred thousand tickets to your concerts is likely better than selling a thousand mix tapes because no one knows who you are and few want to take a chance.

Say we succeeded in creating a crime free society. Would people be justified in their complaints about the lack of police jobs?
I could also knock on my neighbor's door with a pile of cash and he'd build a shed for me even though he's never swung a hammer in his life. That doesn't mean he's in the business of building sheds, it just means he likes money. Palantir markets itself as a platform and tools vendor, and everything I've seen so far indicates that their primary revenue stream is there, not in professional services.

The actual consulting equivalent of Palantir would be any of the many data science "guns for hire" consultancies floating around that will sell you a few people for $250 an hour to get a project done, then leave.

UPU and epacket are different things, and epacket is currently profitable for the USPS.
It is still going to be cheaper to order directly from China then to pay someone in the US to order it, repackage it, and mail it to me. (Or even to be lazy and order it on my behalf from China, but US companies will repack it so you don't find out their sources). The US just doesn't have the manufacturing capabilities anymore, and even if the US wanted to have its own manufacturing capability people are not going to work China wages, they are going to demand US wages. So again China will end up being cheaper.

I have been using Xfce for 5 years and it never disappoints me. Light, minimal, and very customizable. I hope it does not undergo radical change at the cost of performance just for the sake of redesign that many other desktop environments have gone through.

I still have 15 year old hardware lying around in my home and they come to a stall while running some of the desktop environments that have modernized themselves. But Xfce continues to run fine on them. It would be great if Xfce remains the way it is for another 15 years so that my old hardware continues to work for me.
The other side of this question is, which other foundries in the world would have tech that TSMC would be interested in?
