>wrought iron is highly inferior to bronze.

What?

Wrought iron is immensely more useful than bronze in many applications demanding strength (per weight or per volume, take your pick) and/or toughness.

There's a reason things like metal bridges, railways, etc. all became common only after wrought iron became readily available.

Likewise for cast iron, other than malleability it is mechanically superior to bronze.

There's a reason the only time you see bronze these days is bushing material and applications demanding corrosion resistance for which aluminum/zinc alloys would be unsuitable.
Oh, cool! I'm glad it was helpful.

Zestful's doing okay. It's in maintenance mode at the moment, but when I have spare time, I like to tinker with it to bump up the accuracy. Customers seem to mostly use it in big bursts, so it'll be a few thousand requests one month, then the next month, it'll drop to only a few dozen.

If you ever have patches you want to push back upstream to the open source tagger, I'm happy to review. And if you ever want to do a bulk parse of ingredients on Zestful, I can certainly offer volume discounts.
IDK why you are being down voted, its true in the US at least. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has the following Standard Occupational Codes:

I think the whole voting thing is stupid. It obviously leads to censorship. Someone else's opinion should not count less than others even if you don't agree with them. Assuming we're not talking about plain spam (bots, ads, etc). Graham did not think this through properly. Everyday I come across comments that are downvoted or flagged and can see no reason why that was done apart from subjective ones.
The original content creators made their content for the love of whatever they're making content about. Giving CCs an easy avenue to getting paid is what got us into this whole mess in the first place.
I started as a "web developer" without any credentials and have transitioned to "software engineer" without any credentials, though now I'm actually not 100% sure how I did that.

Mostly I just obsessed over functional programming for a long time, and then took the first job I could find doing Haskell (at NYU), then doing an Erlang chat server at a startup, and then doing F# at Jet.com. I guess people assume that only engineers and academics want to do functional languages.
Aren't most of those arguments here moot, since they also need a computer (+ networking) to be available on MTurk?

computer < human + computer

Of course not every computer has the same specs and footprint, but they should be in roughly the same ballpark.
The alternative has been functional for decades.

You have a single "store" interface with user configurable channels which users can add at their own risk.

If you don't make it trivial for an attacker to induce a user to configure such a channel you avoid most bad outcomes for stupid people. For example you shouldn't be able to click a link and prompt the user as such prompts do not work.

Personally I would expect

- A setting in configuration menus to enable 3rd party channels

- explicitly entering the channel data

- a white list of known safe channels run by good actors even if not reviewed

- a black list of known bad channels that can't be enabled
Isolating Rails Engines with RuboCop
Yeah, "You came of age professionally during the development of artificial intelligence" in the opening question told me right off the bat that something was off with the interviewer. Some version of AI research has been around nearly as long as computers themselves, but the late 60s weren't exactly a focal point like, say, the 80s were. Plus, her primary contribution to computer science has little to do with AI directly. It felt like misunderstanding and/or a wide reach for a hot topic.

> It's not just the dividends. It's the $100 million from their safety budget that they blew on executive compensation. There's also the hundreds of millions of dollars annually that PG&E is spending on stock buybacks.

All of those are ultimately spent for the benefit of investors, whom the executives report to via the board of directors. It doesn't change the argument that PGE's incentive structure is tilted toward their investors' demands first, and safety/ratepayers/public after that.

> It's risky to deliver electricity anywhere.

California is a uniquely risky place compared to elsewhere. It has the combination of a very heavy rainy season, causing massive vegetation growth, followed by a very long dry season. Both are being exacerbated by climate change. On top of that, California has a booming population, with people living in ever more remote fire prone areas, requiring electric transmission lines to those areas.

Areas with year round precipitation don't have nearly the same fire risk.

> PG&E is reckless and dishonest above and beyond the norm.

Perhaps, but that has more to do with answering to investors, and not the underlying physical risks.
Sewing is a vital technology, since only with sewn, multi-layer clothing was cold-intolerant Homo sapiens able to colonize the middle and upper latitudes of the Eurasian continent during the last Ice Age. In the referenced article, it mentions needles from about 35,000 years ago. Presumably the earliest garments were furs stitched with sinew threads, but plant fiber thread from 34,000 has been found in Georgia. The archaeological problem is that bone needles and organic fibers do not endure to the present like stone and copper.

It seems like you already know the good alternative - anything that can run Kodi, or other software that you control.

A company maximizing their revenue will inevitably end up implementing surveillance - it's a way to take more value from a relationship after the price has already been set. And if you're willing to pay more to avoid surveillance, this just means you're a more valuable target to surveil!

The only way to overcome is to not play by these given rules in the first place. By definition this means you're being a pirate, whether you're looking for ways to compensate the creators or not.

Yes, the nicotine salts are what replicates the fast hit you get with cigarettes. It's what makes Juul a more effective smoking cessation device over a slower hit you get with chewing tobacco, nicotine gum or patches.

I've quit smoking for a year now, but under pressure, Juul has stopped making my preferred flavor; the flavor that actually got me to quit smoking. I've tried other flavors and other devices but they don't give me the same satisfaction. I'm afraid I'm going to go back to smoking when my remaining 3 packs of cartridges run out in a week or so.

This Juul hysteria is almost certainly going to raise smoking rates in the population. The UK government still stands on its claim that vaping is 95% healthier than smoking.

It's not just "overcorrect" it's also doing so in an incompetent way.

It's like asking out someone on a date. If you have less experience, you'll probably do so in a dumb way and are more likely to seem like you're harassing them.

There's a lot of gaslighting that the line is aggression / assertion line is primarily about your internal state (mind reading arguments are often a good sign people are wrong), but the line is often about competence.

Pretending people should never be assertive means we aren't letting them develop competence except through experience. Developing competence through experience (without any clear direction) is like letting people learn to drive by letting them crash a bunch of times and learn from it which is hardly optimal.

Does anybody know of any resource which calculates that? Or have any idea how to calculate it?

This is a good start. I would strongly recommend focusing on listening and asking questions when a friend comes to you with a problem or something on their mind. People universally want to be heard and understood. Offer emotional support, if by some chance you really think your friend is in the wrong, that person probably needs to be lovingly nudged rather than abrasively confronted.

Occasionally people do legitimately want your advice & perspective and to be careful about it you can precede it with "would you like to hear my perspective/advice?"
> IMO aggression is just assertion when it's judged to be inappropriate or incompetently done

One can be assertive without being aggressive and aggressive without being assertive. They are different characteristics.

Assertive and not aggressive - deciding to speak up instead of being silent. "Excuse me, can you explain this decision to me?"

Aggressive and not assertive - being passive-aggressive, giving people the silent treatment / cold shoulder / "cancel culture", and similar behaviors.

I love the concept of System76, full stop.

What has kept me from seriously considering them, however, is the absence of AMD-powered systems from them. I understand the ubiquity of Intel-based hardware, but I don't full get why not even an option of an AMD-based system is available.

If they're going to go their own way in terms of hardware design, I would hope that they at least opened a line of dialog with AMD to explore that option. AMD is dying for a good laptop OEM, and System76 has the good sense to make it into a well designed package all around.

I hope to see something develop in this direction.
Aggression is violent and seeks to harm or at least disregards the recipient's well-being.

Assertiveness is considerate and has compassion for the recipient, considers how our assertion may affect the recipient, may offer understanding and empathy for their situation, then asserts our need by taking personal ownership and using "I" language, etc.
I do understand it and I’m sure it will stay. I just think it’s not a good practise to use it anymore.

About 25,000 miles of those lines runs through areas the state has identified as high fire-threat districts.

"As a "small" company that does this and nothing else, you would think Roku would be a relatively privacy-focused option, but it appears to be the opposite."

Roku is not just a physical device, or an OS. It's also in the advertising business. They stream video ads and display ads when you watch certain shows through Roku. Thus, they want to know a lot more about you to show you relevant ads.
> That's the same as the ISP, CDN, CMS, and plenty of other software and vendors in the middle getting access to that information.

I don't think it's the same.

At least with HTTPS (or even the use of VPNs, DNS over HTTPS, and the upcoming/proposed encrypted SNI), the ISPs won't have any metadata except the IP headers, which I think is a good rebalancing.

There's no requirement for the CMS to be hosted by a third party. Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress, etc. are all popular self-hosted solutions.

The CDN typically does not have all the information, either: a CDN's job is (often, but not always) to deliver media assets (images, videos, audio), large files (e.g. ISOs, executables), or to deliver things like fonts or javascript libraries. These things are (again, often, but not always) supplied from a different domain.

My browser, for example, doesn't send referer headers when dealing with these sites, and it definitely doesn't send any cookies which aren't set for the CDN's domain explicitly.
Different amounts of information leak when you CNAME to a CDN on your own domain, or you load third party advertising scripts in a page.

To me, at least, there's a difference between a third party (such as a CDN or ISP) knowing what domain I was on, versus third-party advertising scripts getting their hands on my detailed browser information by (ab)using JavaScript APIs and extensive fingerprinting.

> There's a difference between a service provider and data ownership.

Can you elaborate? I don't think I understand this point.
For example, under the GDPR where I live, I have rights to data which I produced, regardless of the service provider or the domain it's delivered on.

My impression is that POWER is more suitable for desktop computing. Many people would like access to a non-x86 portable device (with, say, 64gb ECC RAM and great I/O.)

I don't know how well the POWER line has progressed since say 2004ish and ARM sure is coming up, but if you intend to use a lot of (fast) I/O and virtualization on your portable workstation laptop it seems to me that POWER would be a great alternative, although surely at a nice price premium over the various ARM ISAs.

ARM on the other hand seems to thrive on the other end of the spectrum--low power consumption and inexpensive. Wouldn't most solutions require that you cram the IO subsystems into the silicon SoC package?

I reckon this kind of thing would eat your power/cost advantages back into the x86 realm.

I do not think you can say Apple has a monopoly over iOS as it is a product not a market. Would be equivalent to saying Tesla has a monopoly over Tesla infotainment software, ignoring that they are only a small part of the larger automobile market.

Looking at the overall phone market Apple has around 50% share in the US but only 20% globally. This is not high enough to constitute a monopoly especially when there are clearly competitors in the space.
