There are several reasons, which may be tightly correlated. You can't deny that interest bearing loans are predatory due to the fact that they feed off the needs of others, some of which are beyond their control. Secondly, because now interest bearing loans are a means of making income (particularly for those with a lot of money), we end up with the cycle where loans are advertised to people, such that people who don't need them are heavily incentivized to get them (e.g. mortgages, credit cards, etc.). We end up in the cycle we see today.

Use of the benchmarks game as evidence must imply that you have confidence in that evidence.
There is a narrative developing about the anti-littering marketing campaigns which I think tries to paint it as a cynical ploy by businesses.

Just to frame things as someone alive at the time in one part of America… single serving glass bottles were not returned to the store, they had no deposit. They were thrown away. Beer cans had no deposit. They were thrown away. (Steel soda cans weren't a thing, they stayed in bottles until aluminum came around) Fast-food cups were waxed paper. Straws were paper. The lids were plastic.

Companies were up front about controlling littering, using their brand loyalty to achieve it. McDonalds even had a "we don't like to see our name thrown around like this" campaign showing a clearly branded paper bag in a ditch.

Most roadside litter was steel beer cans, glass bottles (many broken), paper wrappers and bags. Any picnic area would have beer can pull tabs all over the place. It was actually an effort to retrain people to put the tab into the can so it eventually got thrown away instead of just tossing it where the barefoot children played. Coors introduced a special beer top which had a big hole and a little hole to jab your fingers through so there wouldn't be a beer tab to deal with! Eventually the aluminum lid with no loose parts was developed, but that was a decade after the anti littering campaigns.

It's taken half a century, but now most people don't chuck garbage out their car windows. Some people do. Some areas of the country are much worse than others. If you think littering isn't a thing, then it probably isn't where you live. But, there are areas where the roadside ditches are still full of fresh litter.
employees are not married to their company. when I talk about them I talk about those who are in control of the company. those who are left behind can look for another and better opportunity. which is better than continuing in a toxic environment anyway.

The strongest RN teams and engineers I've seen tend to be those that either already have or are willing to acquire knowledge about how native app development works under the hood.

It greatly augments your ability to write elegant solutions to hard problems.

Some argue this is a large cost to bear - however I'd say it's one that is very reasonable to acquire. Having experience and knowledge in several languages/frameworks helps make one stronger engineer.
I don’t think the interactions between the AWS SDK and a third-party AWS IAM plug-in is really an inherent part of k8s’s domain of control.

Not so quickly. They didn't find any obvious differences in some basic coarse metrics. That's like stating that the thermal image of AMD and Intel processors is about the same and thus their abilities are the same. The only thing this study proves us that the differences are more subtle than what they could measure.
Neat. The list art of taking down dictations fast. Wish I knew it in school (and that they had allowed it in school). I hated dictation but for some people, it's a job, I guess.
Battery storage is not an option for large scale. Battery technology is good for bridging gaps measured in minutes while larger power plants spin up and react to demand. That's a real benefit, and helps to eliminate some expensive peaker power plants, but the technology is simply not even close to being able to fill in the gaps needed for a grid where large percentages of the energy is wind or solar.

Nuclear is currently the only technology that exists that can do this.

Your advice seems sensible, but I don't see anything revolutionary about it. It's basic common sense, but I believe that your "sin" was your attempt at rebranding a simple concept, a framework to moderation and withdrawal, into a click-baity term: "dopamine fasting 2.0". It makes it look like yaf (yet another fad) and yaf is tiresome. Yaf is also easy target and an opportunity to sell paper.

I love the immediacy of buying an e-book and reading it seconds later. I also love that I can carry multiple books on my phone and Paperwhite in my bag.
But now, after a few years of buying and reading e-books, I'm sad to see empty spaces on my bookshelf where my previously-read-books should be displayed. I _really_ wish that publishers would let me buy the paper version and upsell me the digital for $2 more. (or Vice versa). I'd do that all day long. But I don't think that's gonna happen. I can't be alone in this. Maybe I just need to switch back to paper books. That's the most obvious answer, but it's also the least convenient. Does anyone else here solve this in a clever way?

#2 is not a good idea. Do not attempt to publish information that could get you in trouble with any governments.

Instead, get connected with a tech-savvy media outlet via SecureDrop or Signal. They can publish the information, have experts on hand to help you stay anonymous, and can likely connect you to legal resources should that become necessary.

The whole exchange was public. LF might not have banned Mr. Wood for wearing a MAGA hat (the true reason they banned him was probably to avoid a confrontation with Code of Conduct zealots), but it sure looks like it based on the public tweet exchange.
Yeah, but discrimination based on location is different. I've seen remote companies say they'll only hire employees within 3 time zones of GMT, for example.

So if GitLab employs Russian nationals (living outside of Russia) but bans employees of any nationality living in Russia, I'm not sure this is discrimination based on national origin.
Over the air broadcast signals don't work in a lot of places so you need to send the bits over a cable. Putting that cable in the ground and sticking the right equipment on the end costs money. That's a totally reasonable thing to pay for even if the bits are free.

Because they can provide nowhere near the amount of storage required. For example, one of the flagship solar storage facilities here in California has a capacity of 300 MWh. By comparison, the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant generates 2,200 Megawatts. That storage facility can store less than _ten minutes_ worth of energy that the nuclear plant outputs.
> Not even a "Logojoy is now Looka!" type banner on the top

There's a food product I buy for my kids weekly that changed their packaging about 6 months ago. It took me 6 weeks to find it after the packaging changed. I didn't look closely enough, I just thought they were out of stock. After I found it I realized that I knew this product by the package and not by the brand name.

There are a few similar products from different brands so the new packaging didn't jump out, I just ignored it as one I wasn't looking for. If they had simply included a "X is now Y" or "New Packaging" message across the top I likely would have found it sooner.

I recently noticed that instacart actually has both packages for this product in their product list, even though the old package is nowhere to be found in stores. Maybe this is accidental as the UPC may have changed, or maybe it's a brilliant solution to maintaining sales based on the old packaging.

My wife's company recently redesigned their logo and packaging and their sales slipped double digits. It's been 6 months and they haven't recovered yet. They're simultaneously trying to figure out where they went wrong in consumer testing and how they can improve from here (and it takes months for new packaging, new production, and flow through to shelf).

Reverting to the old packaging is an option but of course there was a reason they changed it to begin with so they want to take the pain now and get it right. I assume that's true for Looka too (they don't just do "logos" anymore so they don't want to go back to the name Logojoy).
What grinds my gears is hard-coded magic timeout numbers. Somehow microservice people seem to think that these are good (e.g. for circuit breakers) without seeming to realize the unexpected consequences of composing like this. Your timeout is not my timeout. So firstly - don't do it. Time is an awful thing to build behaviour on, and secondly if you ignore that then make it a config parameter - then I've got a chance of finding it without wire level debugging (if you document it).
I don't understand what you think is nonsense about this claim. Can you elaborate?

The timing numbers I quoted are purely based on the orbital motion of a (hypothetical) satellite, and have nothing to do with radio signals. Kepler's third law states that a body's orbital period varies in proportion to the 1.5th power of its semi-major axis. A 1cm altitude difference for a satellite in LEO corresponds to a change of about 1.5 parts per billion, which translates to a 2.2 ppb change in orbital period. As I said, this amounts to a cumulative difference of a couple hundred microseconds per day.

And it's actually much easier to precisely measure frequency differences than amplitude differences, if you have sufficiently accurate clocks. If you have a 150.000000MHz reference signal and a 150.000001MHz doppler-shifted signal, you can simply multiply them together to get a 1Hz beat frequency. Using this technique, you can measure phase differences that are considerably less than a single cycle of the original signal.

A major limiting factor, of course, is the stability and precision of your reference clocks. Apparently, the Jason-2 satellite that (until recently) was responsible for a lot of these measurements had a high-precision quartz oscillator that was stable to roughly one part per trillion: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30004875

Measuring the absolute position and velocity of a satellite is comparatively a lot more difficult. But with sufficiently precise Doppler relative-velocity measurements from multiple points, you can solve for both the orbital parameters and the slowly-varying perturbations with a high degree of accuracy.

That result is pretty weak statistically and the phenotype is vague. (Yes it passes GWAS threshold but a lot of associations do that are later found to be false positives).

Symmetry would be an easy "attractive" metric, but these are all complex traits that we aren't really close to narrowing down the mechanism for.
>You state that as if it's a fact.

Because it is. If you Google it, you can find plenty of sources that state exactly this. Even anti-nuclear activists generally agree that economically nuclear power is cheap per kilowatt hour simply because of the capacity of nuclear plants multiplied by their longevity. They just argue that the cheap power isn't worth it because of the "other down sides" surrounding nuclear.

>potentially disastrous plants.

False. No electrical generating nuclear plant in the US has had a "disaster" associated with it. The closest was three mile island, and that had no injuries or negative health effects other than psychological.

Only nuclear weapons manufacturing has had a significant environmental impact.

The regulation around nuclear reactors is insane, and much of it doesn't add in any way to their safety. That's what you get when big, scary reactors become an easy target for politicians who want to look like they're doing something for a change.
> It's unlikely that a company needs to invest in data scientists or even thinking very hard about their data organization until the scale of their data is already pushing the bounds of what most RDMMSs can handle.

I work in an engineering data science consulting group for a major UK PLC. Almost all of our clients have mainly SQL based data sources, and none of them really require cloud scale. In fact I don't think I have come across a client whose data I can't handle in SQLite on my laptop.

However, the problems we solve do require data scientists - mainly STEM MScs with a smattering of PhDs who are capable of combining statistics, domain knowledge and the ability to work within a variety of organisations and present.
When dealing with interconnected systems it's a pretty decent format. That it is human readable also allows for relatively easy interaction in terms of the value without building one-off tooling.

When I'm dealing with non-sql data, one thing I've also done is fire the record into a service that compresses to .gz and a worker sends it to S3_PATH/data-type/recordid.json.gz as a recovery option. Not that it's the first or best recovery option, but when your core data is only a few hundred thousand records, potentially faster than a full DB restore. Not to mention, services being written in one language, and a recovery script in a scripting language.

It just depends on how you are doing things. Now, for configurations, I tend to prefer TOML or YAML.

Where's the shortcoming? When someone talks about astrology as b.s. because, hey, we have science to show as much, then they go and talk about virgin births and resurrections and holy books that are pure revelation of the word of god, etc, they're being hypocritical in so far as appealing to science as a guiding principle in the search for truth.
> You cannot address climate change without drastic long term reduction in human activity/population.

Of course you can. You must change activities to be carbon neutral, but you can maintain the same level of comfort you have today. More than "can maintain", you "must".

If you rely on sacrifice from the whole planetary population in order to tackle climate change, we are doomed. It will never happen, as it goes against the competitive nature of humans.

The correct path is forward: innovate, so that carbon neutral forms of energy and materials are better than carbon-emitting versions. Energy is an almost solved problem, using this vector. Let's attack materials now.

>Also, it's not totally different in concept from an aircraft carrier's catapult; hopefully gentler...

Nah. If someone can't handle a few g's in takeoff, maybe they shouldn't be flying, and should should stay home, or maybe in a nursing home. I know it sounds mean, but seriously, think about it: aircraft transport isn't always comfortable. Turbulence happens, and it can be extremely rough at times, even injuring people severely if they're not belted in. If someone is too frail to handle being launched by an aircraft carrier catapult (which, remember, also launch those big AWACS planes, not just small fighter jets), then they're not suited for handling turbulence either.

Also, don't forget, the latest generation of catapult technology is actually pretty gentle. The USS Ford's "EMALS" catapults are electromagnetic, rather than steam, and one of the big stated benefits of this is that it's gentler on the airframes than the old steam catapults. It's still going to subject the pilots/passengers to several g's, but probably lower peak acceleration than the older technology did.

funny you are talking about transparency while I refer to companies who care for politics.

Im talking about environments where you cant express your free opinion or have to apply to rules because of "politics".

back in the days we were just working. we cared about technology. those in control cared for money. which was absolutely fine.

today, you have to fit in some weird rules and companies play governments. if you talk negative (by eg expressing your free will) you get redacted.

thus has nothing to do with transparency btw. the transparency of gitlab can be good or can be bad. but that is another topic I guess.
Nuclear energy is deeply irresponsible. It requires maintenance of reactors to prevent significant environmental contamination. On a long enough timescale, it is impossible to guarantee continuous maintenance. At some point in the next millennium there will be a technological downturn, leading to thousands of unmaintained reactors dotting the landscape, leaking highly radioactive materials. Hard to imagine human civilization recovering in such an environment.

This is primarily an artifact of history for us. When we first set out to build the mobile apps, React Native for Android had not yet been open sourced so we had no choice but to build it in native.

That being said, the Android side of RN has always been more nascent and so one of the benefits for us has been not having to deal with some of those early bugs/issues while building our our current iOS app.

It's since become much more mature however - so we may explore RN for Android again someday.
