You can get degrees not just from ICL but UofI and other legit organizations via Coursera. Essentially they are using the Coursera platform the way Uber runs on AWS. The diploma doesn’t say anything about his and you may have taken some or all of your courses online.

This is different from audacity etc where the courses are essentially from udacity.

I only learned this bc my gf worked for Coursera: I don’t know if that’s because they have some deliberate marketing strategy or just because I didn’t pay attention. As she doesn’t work there any more, I can say it makes me uncomfortable. But to be honest: in the long run why should the online experience inherently be worse?

It could be just chauvinism on my part but I feel my university education could not have been as good had it not been F2F
The errors are most certainly not random, especially in hypertensive patients who are most likely to purchase these devices. Hypertensive patients can show large variability in successive BP measurements just due to arm position.
It's about the missed metaphor. Before Tesla EV = not a car. Tesla proved EV can have a Ferrari like acceleration and hence EV = car. It isn't always about UX. Sometimes you have to prove another point which Tesla did. Nobody at the traffic light made & makes fun of a Tesla so consumers feel safe to buy a Tesla. That was a major point in the buying decision of average consumers and probably is why the cybertruck looks as safe as a tank.
"Taxi prices" are the way they are because taxi companies aren't propped up by a Japanese billionaire and his coterie of Gulf oil barons and VC pals whose stated goal is to monopolize the market.

Uber's a public company now, it has to price its services to make a profit, or to at least reduce the billions it loses each year because its prices aren't in line with market forces.

And other people might think that since it adds a tiny positive in one area that it can't possible add a huge negative in another area--like normalizing censorship for profit (whoops, the horse already left that barn) and massively increasing the surveillance capabilities of a murderous oppressive regime. You're engaging in simplistic thinking too.

What if (for the sake of the argukent) they are accidentally right? I.e. despite a clear bias they reach the right conclusion that and indeed the effect of climate change is negligible as a causal agent in this case. Dismissing that possibility just because is supported by those who would support it no matter what (and furthermore backed what whatever ulterior motive there might be) is no different from what others ascribe to the environmentalist camp, labeling it just as political activism leveraging anything that happens on the world as a proof that they are right.

Don't get me wrong, I do have my own opinion about what's going on that I built using more or less the logic you described. But if I step back I see it has to be driven by by own biases, otherwise how would other reasonable people come to other conclusions. I wish there was more we can do to make it easier to discuss such topics between people who come from different starting points.

>it is important to understand that for many people weight loss is neither practical nor maintainable

People need to stop eating processed sugar. Losing and keeping off weight is easy. As soon as I stopped eating, candy, baked shit from coffee shops and crap, fast food, and stopped drinking pop, it became hard to gain weight. That shit's poison. It gives your body nothing. Cutting out nearly all processed sugary food is the easiest way to lose weight with basically no effort. I didn't change my lifestyle, I don't count calories or exercise to any regime. I sat for hours a day at my last job. I just stopped eating garbage and eating food that's actually food. I'm 5'8", I'd been over 200lbs for years and years. I can't get above 150lbs now and all I do is not eat sugar or processed crap. I eat tons of cheese and meat, I have at least one kind of grain and vegetable with each meal.

If the main ingredients of something are chemicals and sugar. It's not food. Don't eat it. Your body will be healthy, you'll lose weight. It's a pretty simple concept. These things give your body nothing. Your body needs certain things to make new cells and perform biological functions, eat those things and you'll be healthy. Eat garbage and poison and you won't be.

Eta: Sorry for the tone of my post. I've sat and watched a good friend of mine slipping in and out of a diabetic coma in a hospital brought on directly by the food he eats and to this day he still refuses to change his diet in anyway and I'm honestly worried it's going to kill him. This topic makes me a little more unreasonable than usual.
> I've personally had a difficult time for not doing so (professionally, socially, etc.)

It was the same for me for about 6 months, maybe a year. Then people stopped offering drinks or asking why I didn't drink and things felt normal again. I think part of it was not going in to how bad it is for you because people who drink already know.

I don't get uncomfortable without a drink, but if I feel like other people are anxious that I'm not drinking sometimes it helps to have an opaque cup with water (at home) or a mocktail (at a bar) so from across the room it looks like I have a drink.

I've found that most 30+ yrs old people that asked why I don't drink don't really like drinking either and feel like they won't have fun or enjoy the party as much or fit in if they don't drink, but that they don't like the bloating or hangover effects if they have more than a drink or two.

Software developers should realize that as their salaries increase (and I'm not even talking about FAANG), companies that are selling SaaS and software solutions have to charge more in order to continue doing the fine work of developing stuff.

At the same time, investors are demanding that their portfolio companies begin to take profits after years of blasting away money in favor of growth-at-all-costs.

In my SaaS company, we have also increased prices and changed product packaging to generate greater profits in the past year. Customers hate it, but if they could see inside the company, they would see as I do that the changes are necessary to remain in business.
I find it helps to think of the military as a socialist style make-work jobs program. That's not it's only function, but it is an important one. For the poor (boots on the ground types) it educates them, feeds/houses them, teaches them self discipline. During peace time it's an important economic ladder. For the middle class, it's about creating work for engineers, programmers, and scientist types.

During peace-time, I think there's a lot to be said about the ROI for the military, if the military is at some reasonable scale (which I think it is not).

With regards to the many Middle East (ME) wars, I think a lot of that is about maintaining and enforcing the petro-dollar. If the ME decides to start selling their oil in Euros or gold or some other currency, it will mean the end of the USA as we know it. The dollar will collapse and China or Russia will take over as the world hegemon. Many people really have a distaste for US hegemony, but unfortunately the real options on the table are not US vs nobody. It's US vs probably China. So the ROI is much more complicated in that regard.

Between this, the spike in suicides across the US, and the opioid crisis, the US appears to be experiencing a kind of “die off” whose only analogue I can think of is post-Soviet Russia. I wonder if we’ll be able to correct course or continue to believe that things like rising GDP, unmoored from the material reality of most people, can paper over these trends.
Celebrities are known for using (illegal) stimulant drugs for this purpose. Of course I highly don't recommend doing this, those drugs will give you a heart attack long before your fat would have.
> In reaction to that, it is important to understand that for many people weight loss is neither practical nor maintainable

So you're saying that even though the obesity epidemic is an entirely new thing, that there's no way that these people can lose weight and keep it off?

It might require a lifestyle change, but saying it's not possible because change is hard is bullshit.
I don't think this foundation would qualify.

I'm so incredibly not a lawyer, but my understanding is that educational 501c3s need to be predominately educational, in that they have classes and a physical location.

If the primary purpose of the Rust foundation is open source code and standardizing the language, it's not exactly educational.
> 1. Methane emissions capture heat energy in the atmosphere, and that heat energy doesn't just disappear after the methane is gone.

No, that's completely wrong. Methane does not "capture" the heat. Earth is constantly radiating energy out to the rest of the universe. What methane, CO2 and other greenhouse gases do is to change the radiation properties of the atmosphere, resulting in reflecting some of the energy back to earth. This energy ultimately gets radiated out, but more greenhouse gases means more time before it does, which, assuming constant external irradiation from sun, results in higher steady state temperature. When the methane is gone, its effect on warming is gone.
> You pay American soldiers and contractor salaries. You buy weapons and technology from American companies.

While there are wealthy individuals who profit from the military-industrial complex, it's hard to shake the impression that the majority of our bloated military budget is a federal make-work jobs program (with deaths of American troops and foreign civilians as a negative externality).

I don’t really like these moves, but it seems pretty standard on EVs.

How does it hurt them? Instead of a seeing a fixed price, they'll now see a range, and decide if the upper amount of that range is something they're willing to pay.

What I don't understand about the outrage surrounding Dragonfly is that Google didn't leave China because of the need to censor its search engine, it conducted business in that way in the late 2000s. It left China because of the cyber attacks in Operation Aurora.

It seems the Googlers of today are holding Google to a higher ethical standard than the Googlers of 2009, since Google offered a censored search engine in china at that time and this did not produce the sort of outrage we see today.
Yeah, it's gotta seem like a very weird thing to say if you haven't been through it, but your mind isn't the single entity you think it is. There are different components each with different motivations, purposes, responsibilities, etc. And a few of them really don't like what you're doing. They have access to the same reasoning engine as the parts that want to lose weight so they can make convincing arguments. Fighting them off wears down your will until they eventually win if you aren't careful.

And that isn't counting the effects of other parts of your body like your gut microbiome.
The problem products like Postman and others (Elastic et al) are having is one of "have your cake and eat it too".

For the past decade a number products rode the free software love boat, the gambit was to get organic community love and free marketing and hope that it somehow translates into VC endorsed financial rewards. This does not seem to be working out as expected.

> Traffic was moving smoothly. There were hardly any backups. Buses, trains, and ferries ran at full capacity. Those who didn’t use public transit altered their normal routes, and stayed away from The Maze. The predicted gridlock failed to materialize. The “free transit day” was an unqualified success.

Interesting to think about how much economic value could be recovered if we got transit utilization up to those levels on a regular basis. No magic bullets exist, but we collectively spend a lot of money on regular commutes and pay a lot in terms of road upkeep, climate impact, wasted time etc that might be mitigated if we managed to set up incentives like that on an ongoing basis.
Some bits of personal advice:

1. Try eating more vegetables (tomatoes, cucumbers, coleslaw, but watch for the sauces). They do a wonderful job a filling the stomach, but they would give you like 20x less calories than bacon or fries.

2. The weight you see on the scale is a combination of your fat, liquids retained by the body, food in your pipeline, etc. Based on my personal experience, the non-fat part (that goes away in the 1st week of dieting and easily gets back) can be up to 10-12 lbs. You need some model to account for it when watching your weight, otherwise it gets pretty depressive.

3. It's tough to keep high-calorie foods off every single day and it's tough to diet for weeks in a row. Having a moderate diet for 1 week every month, while eating a bit over for the rest 3 weeks is much more tolerable than the extremes.

4. Do portion control. The subjective pleasure we get from the food scales logarithmically with the amount, the calories scale linearly.
> Sorry, but I have to call BS on that. Having lost ~50 lbs last year (after my blood pressure started getting scary), I can tell you it's all about planning and self-discipline.

Ah, I see, you have the highest possible qualifications in the medical field!

> instead of giving them a strong motivation to resolve the underlying cause.

OK, so, please explain, then, how you treat, for example, various thyroid problems that are the underlying cause for increased body weight and that no real treatment is known for? Given that you are so highly qualified as to call bullshit on a medical professional, you sure will be able to offer more than telling everyone who has superficially similar symptoms to yours that they are too stupid to cure themselves because they don't do what you have done?

Losing weight is hard (speaking from experience), but ultimately it's still just a question of physics. Eat less, eat food which will fill you for longer (breakfast: porridge, lunch: fruit, nuts, etc.), and eat a reasonably healthy meal you've cooked each night. Meanwhile, eat smaller portions and do some exercise. Your body can't defy the laws of physics, so you will lose weight. It is that simple.

Overthinking it and coming up with horse shit reasons why it's totally fine to eat the amount you're eating and blaming some external factor (e.g. one's body) is the problem.
It wouldn't be such a big deal. As the current situation with VVVVV shows, we already kind of have our own little informal community-driven "trademark enforcement", and it works.
The state of men in the US is really deteriorating. Men are drugging, drinking, and smoking theirselves to death.

Men are increasingly sexless much longer than females. Seems we have a big problem on our hands.

Downfalls of a bash based approach: You need to maintain it. And bash is hard to debug, especially when the house is on fire (production outage, etc)

Integrating should be quite straigthforward. Install Tanka, create a new project (tk init), copy your source of truth YAML (without transformations) somewhere under lib/ (for example lib/foo).

Then go to lib/foo/foo, and import each of those yaml files:

{
foo: {
deployment: import "./deployment.yaml",
service: import "./service.yaml",
}
}

In environments/default/main.jsonnet:

(import "foo/foo.jsonnet") + {
// patch environment specific things here
// https://tanka.dev/tutorial/environments#patching
}

Then use `tk show` to verify it works.

Furthermore, follow the tutorial to get an in depth understanding of Tanka: https://tanka.dev/tutorial/overview
I felt slighted by their interview process and experience a little schadenfreude. From what I gather a lot of other people have the same salt.

It’s the biggest reason I tell people to be magnanimous in interviews. You may need to interview them again in three years, or their friends. You don’t want them to tell you to fuck off, or worse, talking about you behind your back to their peers.

There’s a company in Seattle who had a long history of having trouble hiring. They even hosted a bunch of meetups but still got hardly any bites. Because they had a reputation as an awful place to work and people would talk about it after the meetups or even quietly during the meetups. I have my suspicions this actually hurt their lead rate instead of helped. Getting people together to air your dirty laundry is rarely good.
