I don't know which is the case. Those are the two likely possibilities that I perceive, and I lean towards the former being more likely than the later. Part of my motivation for leaving this comment was to give others the opportunity to put forth other possibilities, or perhaps to shine some light on what the other side believes the facts of the case are.

This works until you must, by necessity, either mix work and politics or suffer some indignity.

Advocating for parental leave? Politics. Mothers rooms? Politics. Prayer rooms? Politics. Trans inclusive health care? Politics. Domestic partner benefits? Politics.

Unfortunately, for many folks politics at work is a reality whether they want them to be or not, just because of who they are.
Where are you getting 250 milliseconds and needing 15,000 from?

Wikipedia claims US yearly electricity consumption is 4,090 TWh, and Bath County stores 24 TWh, with a generation capacity of 3,003 MW. That comes out as enough storage for a couple of days worth of US electricity use. Obviously you'd need 3 more to cover generation capacity.

Collect Order Book Data Using CCXT [Example Tutorial]
Looking at it for a few minutes, this has some issues:

- symmetrical crypto with shared key across all clients, letting any VPN client act as any other client

- no PFS (straight AEAD with AES-GCM)

- alternatively, sketchy home-grown AES-CBC crypto that doesn't seem to be authenticated and as such allows for replay attacks and whatnot

- home-rolled SHA-1 pbkdf1 instead of stdlib pbkdf2 with a better hash

- static routing (ie. no way for a client to decide what prefixes to announce at a given time without updating the centralized config)

- no support for roaming clients like phones or clients behind NAT (currently just depends on being able to send UDP datagrams to a preconfigured remote address)

There's probably other things I missed, especially crypto-wise.

I'd stay away from this (at least for now) and use something like wireguard or tinc instead.
They do however treat their creative department very well. Disney is just as IP focused as any tech company. Software has simply never been as important as the story, characters, etc. And honestly they’re doing really well so it’s hard to argue their priorities are wrong.

This article doesn’t seem to directly address the overarching reason Google is sidestepping irrelevancy - the increasing value of data and AI analysis of it.

As data becomes even more valuable than oil [1], few orgs are as well positioned to capitalize on it than Google. With their massive trove of user activity since almost the dawn of the Internet age, combined with the purchase of Deep Mind, the kind of business and strategic intelligence Google can deduct will be invaluable.

Being more effective at selling ads, as the article addresses, is just the start of it.

'The take-home message should not be "Hansen was wrong therefore climate models and the anthropogenic global warming theory are wrong;" the correct conclusion is that Hansen's study is another piece of evidence that climate sensitivity is in the IPCC stated range of 2-4.5°C for 2xCO2.'

It seems far from clear to me that increasing prices for air travel in pursuit of further increased safety would help overall when it is already incredibly safe. Higher prices may encourage air passengers to switch to less safe forms of transport (bus, car) leaving more people killed in transportation accidents overall.
I did. I prefer to read what scientists and engineers have concluded, and have for decades. I like this: https://thesolutionsproject.org/resources/

Consider if we had acted and done in the same short period what India has done, we'd now have the equivalent of 130 nuclear plants online ... ready for a mandate to move to electric transportation.

The future cost of continued reliance on fossils completes the calculation.
I've usually been fine crossing into the US via Canada as a Canadian, save for some cursory searches. However I don't stand out visibly or audibly. On my second last trip through, I didn't have a precise address that I was staying at on the other side of the country for a road trip, so I was taken aside. While waiting, I talked to a Canadian-German fella who had been molested for upwards of 4 hours on the basis of validating that he wasn't intending to work in the U.S. Apparently they handed him a brochure that effectively said they can do anything they want with his data and so on upon that suspicion. Likewise, my gf made what I thought was a joke that at least we weren't brown or something. At least, I thought it was a joke until I looked at the line up behind us.

You don't need an IDFA to track someone in the same app. You can generate your own UUID to use.

The value of the IDFA comes from coordinating user behavior across apps.

Targeting ads is one use case, but it is also used in conversion tracking, which is very valuable to advertisers. They can know if ads in one app resulted in people buying things in another app.

> Nowhere does Diamond claim to have invented geographic determinism.

He claims exactly that in the introduction to his book, alongside the explicit thesis that the west had more "cargo" to start and continued to.

> Much of the criticism of Diamond's work smells far more to me of academic jealousy over not respecting borders.

What would it look like if it were historians dismissing poor work?

> Most I've seen are, as yours, vague, broad, and themselves grossly flawed.

Broad, yes. Vague, no. One of the central methodological problems in history is the selection of facts and material from which to construct an account. Diamond selects facts and material which support his theory, which is not a defensible choice. This is a broad critique, and it invalidates the whole work whether or not his particulars are correct.
Considering equipment leases have been around forever I feel like this is just a way to say "why yes, we do subscriptions as well!". The real takeaway here is it's not that subscribers (customers) want this. It's that Wall Street wants this because: investors. This is because deferred futures are great for smoothing and forecasting of revenue. Subscriptions are ultimately bad for the buyer because you pay more and get less in most situations. And then you have vendors offering subscriptions that literally have taken formerly perpetually sold product and wrapped it up in a subscription model with little to no value add. It's also given vendors a way to lock customers out of support and upgrades. I'm waiting for the pushback... People complain about it, but not as vocally as they should.

The justification is that hospitals have enormous fixed costs, and somebody has to pay for care for people who don't pay and people on government plans that pay below cost. Also, nobody actually pays those prices, so hospitals have no incentive to give a shit about making them make sense.

It's not clear to me that xHamster actually tries to remove that from their site. I wonder if this is just a case where the media reports about racist content on YouTube or Facebook, but not on porn websites, so comparatively it looks like porn sites are doing a great job moderating.
Interesting finding, but the headline doesn’t quite match the study. They didn’t find that chronic adversity dampens dopamine production in general, nor did they find that the stressed individuals had less dopamine than their unstressed peers per se. They only discovered that dopamine production differed between the two groups in response to a specific stressful task.

In other words, the chronically stressed individuals had a different response to stress, which involved less dopamine production than that of their less stressed peers. It’s not clear how much of this is actually a negative adaption, as opposed to just being a different way of responding.

It’s also important to consider the context provided by the researchers in the article:

“This study can’t prove that chronic psychosocial stress
causes mental illness or substance abuse later in life by
lowering dopamine levels,” Dr Bloomfield cautions. “But we
have provided a plausible mechanism for how chronic stress
may increase the risk of mental illnesses by altering the
brain’s dopamine system.”

With studies like this, it’s important to avoid the knee-jerk reaction that you might need “more dopamine”. More is not always better, and we have decades of research demonstrating that dopaminergic drugs are not great antidepressants. When considering your own treatment programs, it’s important to focus on evidence-based medicine and proven, sustainable treatments and therapies.
stuck at the last answer too
This isn't accurate; they've been separate companies for years now. It's kind of a winding history but the TLDR is TripAdvisor started out as an independent startup. Was purchased by a large holding company, which also owned the Expedia brand (acquired from Microsoft). They then mashed all their travel companies together and spun the resulting behemoth out as "Expedia". A little later, Expedia split TripAdvisor back off into an independent company once again so it could focus on being an OTA.

So it's true they were linked at one time, but that's no longer the case. They're distinct businesses with no formal connection.

(Disclosure: I work for TripAdvisor as an engineer, though I wasn't present when all of that went on)
Indeed. But it’s up to them to decide what they want to do with their life and liberty and how they’d like to pursue their happiness. Shoes on or off, excluding specific placements, should not be a factor. Neither, me, you nor loony, father of two, UBC professor have a say about that. It is self-evident.

(And as a side note: peak humans has arrived and the consequences may not be as rosy as the UBC professor who spent his entire life and career in an immigration infused growth zone, thinks they will)

Maybe because OP believes that google employees don’t have the right or reason to unionize.

I generally agree.

Just like a cashier at Chick-fil-a doesn’t necessarily condone the company’s religious and political beliefs.

From personal experience, I work for a big tech company which very publicly says it stands for certain things and the CEO recently has been going around saying a lot of political things. It’s unrelated to the job although it feels like an explicit part of the “company culture”. It doesn’t really affect my day to day work but the whole situation just feels weird. I didn’t sign up for a political party or to espose certain beliefs, I signed up to write code build a tech platform.

This is a comparison of the impact of seating arrangements for otherwise identical aircraft. The maximum takeoff weight stays the same, the difference is how much fuel they can add before they hit it.

Yep. But I don't think the Street is blind to this. They want it for their own good. Not that they think it's innovative.

I have had my content "stolen". Someone in China likely made more off the game I wrote than I did: good for them, I would have never been able to reach that market. I was focused on making a quality web-game and they iframed it with ads. Didn't hurt me a bit - even helped a bit because I continued getting analytics from these new users. My inability to create a self-perpetuating monetization strategy for my game does not mean that I'm owed anything: if people donated more I would have worked on it longer, but they didn't so I didn't. Fond memories for everyone involved.

I view the idea that "nobody should be able to make money from the fruits of my labor" rooted in pettiness and insecurity. If you can consistently create good things at a good pace, people will support you. I didn't meet that bar, got a 'real' job, and that's fine.

The idea that a single work of creation should be able to support someone for years (or even the rest of their lives) is a fantasy that only entered the public zeitgeist in the past few decades: I suspect largely as the result of IP trolls like Disney, MPAA and RIAA.

Tesla is expanding as fast as they can. After huge struggles they finally got their Fremont plant working right. Then they immediately set to work building a plant in China, and got done remarkably fast.

Now they are going to build a plant in Europe. Probably next will come India, and then maybe Latin America or the Middle East, and there I suppose Israel would be the best location.

I agree with you insofar as what you said properly applies to industrial scale agriculture. Mono cultures are easier to scale with fewer people, and only about 1% of the workforce in the US, maybe less, is a farmer in any meaningful capacity despite the sheer quantity of food that we grow and even export.

We have only been doing industrial scale agriculture for about two hundred years though, and we’ve been farming for at least eleven thousand years.

Once you learn the rules for the type of diagram you're making, it's much simpler than opening up <diagram tool of choice> and trying to shuffle the pieces around to make room for the change, or re-sketching the whole diagram from scratch on a piece of paper.

> Because we do whatever costs less. Nuclear plants are expensive. On the other hand, so is storage. It's not actually clear which one is going to cost less in the long term,

Right. It's really worth asking why exactly nuclear plants are so expensive to build, and why they were so much cheaper in the past. The plants that French built in the 70s and 80s were produce much cheaper electricity than fossils and renewables, in terms of LCOE. Why is US so terrible at building things today? Would it even be possible to build, say, Hoover dam today? How many more times it would cost now than it did in the 1930s, in inflation adjusted dollars, despite great advancements in the available technology?

> so what we should probably be doing is building both at the same time.

If you build nuclear, there's no need to build storage, really. Energy storage is very expensive to build, per stored MWh, much more expensive than nuclear is today, even at today's greatly inflated prices.
