> if you didn't have the commute, you could do all those same things and also anything else you can think of

I don't think that's true.

In my case, I'd pay the opportunity cost of not being able to both do the PhD with the advisor I wanted and also have my daughter live where I wanted.

If I didn't take the commute, I could do my hobbies, but not simultaneously both do the PhD I wanted and have my daughter live where I wanted.

Only the commute lets me satisfy everything I want.

See?
I’m going to give the strong recommendation of NOT supplementing HGH ever unless your physician advises it. HGH is a potential trigger for cancer, onto of how it is a potent anabolic hormone that will enlarge all your organs. Unless you have certain medical conditions, there is very little reason for one needing HGH.
Did you meant to say EECS department is a cash cow. How many students at Berkley are at Berkley because they major in CS? Each of them pays 13-40k a year! Maybe the university should allocate resources where the students are? Like hiring more professors and TAs. I know, it's a crazy idea.
Yeah, paying $30 an hour to teach 20+ students who already paid their for education is absurd.
HPV vacccination (Currently Guardasil, made by Merck - same company that killed people with Viox) is another technology that is also a threat to child development. But don't take my word for it. Decide for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5GyRJ8ThZA. It's a big deal. A bigger one because the center of the bell curve believes that vaccination is "save and effective".
Hmmh, it's been a decade or two since I used the autotools last, so I'll need a hint. I find it slightly disturbing that the README file is of little help though.

Further, if I try naively
$ sh -x ./autogen.sh
then that fails on a dependency on libtoolize, of which I never have heard of and which doesn't seem to be known to bananian.
>And that doesn't even begin to talk about the possible instruments, mirror sizes, astronomical costs of buulding and running satellites, etc.

We're going to have to start thinking bigger if we want to leave this rock. Might as well start now.

The real risk is Elon's companies dissolving and the satellites adding pollution for no real gain. If I could trade observatory time for (working) world-wide internet, I'd take the latter with no hesitation.

As much as I sympathize, most of the cosmos aren't really going anywhere. It'll be there after we build hundreds of telescopes.

It's pointless because , the chance of a cable lasting 7 years doesn't happen. Even the phone isn't typically designed to last that long.

The cases where people end up replacing their cable because of a new standard is way less frequent than the cable breaking, this has been my experience at least considering the shifting standards which you talk about.

It sounds a bit like optimizing some process but ignoring what is actually the bottleneck. The problem in this case is not the standard on top, but the lifetime of the cable.

If the goal is to reduce e-waste then surely it makes sense to tackle the approach from a reduce, reuse, recycle perspective in that order and focussing on the EOL for the cable.

By shifting to one cable standard, you can reduce/reuse as at least other products can have better utilization as that old cable is still usable with other products. I have been less incentivised to buy new usb C cable for my phone because my switch and headphone cables still work just fine.

I can't do anything with a lightning cable if my iphone dies other than to use it for apple products. Just like I can't do anything with my old ipod connectors. That is just straight e-waste.

By shifting to one cable standard, we can more easily recycle the cable as there would be more manufacturers who would have the supply-chain/capabilities of recycling these chargers. Contrast that to the lightning cable which only apple and other companies with a lightning connector can handle effectively.
It depends. Being able to do the entire stack yourself saves the communication overhead of working with a group of people.

But on the other hand, for the good of the company, it’s often good to sub optimize the individual for the good of the team. You usually don’t want only one person knowing the entire feature and while you will lose out on individual productivity, you can get features out sooner if you have more people working on it.

On a personal level, I love having not to wait on other departments/props to get my work done especially in a dev environment.
> Just getting away from a serif font makes the third you linked way better to me.

The original one doesn't use CSS at all (and doesn't set fonts with serifs), while all the others try to alter fonts and/or their sizes, potentially changing them from ones set/preferred by a user to ones set by a webmaster. thebestmotherfucking.website also tries to override colors. I think these are good (simple, hence easy to reason about) examples of the awkwardness that comes out of styling (and complexity of relatively simple decisions): some would assume certain user agents and settings, and possibly that users don't configure those. Not to mention that some may actually prefer serifs and other common defaults.

Would be amusing if that progression of websites grew even further, to heavy and heavily styled SPAs, completely reversing the original message.

There are no pure and totally reliable sources of information but suppose we could somehow 'debias' and purify an existing source. Suppose we then listened only to it and ignored all the other sources.

We could still be led astray because it would generate errors from time to time due to the fact that we are all fallible. And these errors would be harder to spot because we would be ignoring sources of countervailing ideas.

There is no substitute for reading critically. If we take responsibility and read critically we can learn things even from flaky or fake sources.
In practice they are looking for very weak flashes of light, adding extra background light obviously reduced sensitivity.
libtoolize is a program provided by the libtool package. It's pretty common in the GNU ecosystem, and is used for managing some of the more subtle aspects of build-time and runtime linking.

Agreed that the README needs much better documentation of the package-time dependencies (autoconf, automake, m4, perl, etc), and the build-time dependencies (libtool, libgc, plus a bunch of other libraries).
Nice to meet everyone here. As a newcomer, I would like to introduce ourselves a little bit. Nebula is inspired by the Facebook internal project Dragon (https://engineering.fb.com/data-infrastructure/dragon-a-dist...). Fortunately I was one of the founding members of the project. The project was started in 2012. Since then I've been spent all my time working on the graph databases.

The goal of Nebula is to be a general-purposed, distributed graph database. We welcome any positive feedback and technical discussion. We would love to learn to the community and to provide a product which truly satisfies customers' needs.
Becoming a commodity supplier to an aggregator is a losing proposition. If the value is in delivering the food, restaurants slowly stop being able to differentiate based on branding, experience, presentation, location, or offering and instead compete mostly on price and speed. It's a shit position to be in.
> if I'm adding 47 to 54, I can simplify that by instead adding 50 (47 + 3) to 57 (54 + 3), which is 107

Haha, okay I get it, it was a slip. But it's kind of the point from my perspective. All these different techniques of moving stuff around seems fraught with ways to misunderstand it or muck it up. At best they should be supplementary skills, and shouldn't be taught as the primary techniques. Per Common Core guidelines, or at least per the stuff my first grader is bringing home, it seems like all these tricks are taught as the foundation, which seems backwards.

Maybe my opinion will change as my kids progress. I'm by no means married to my stance on the approach, and would be happy if it does indeed lead to better understanding. But now I'm not seeing it as a great approach to math, and the cynical side of me can imagine that there's more money and politics there than people think.
>Don't worry, if it is conscious it will fight back and have a will of its own. It won't be hard to tell.

Although i'm sure many people would argue if it believes its conscious we have no right to dispute, as we cannot know and even may be essentially the same.

tl;dr: the merits of the labor dispute notwithstanding, TAs were well-compensated relative to other schools and the core problem was a mandated pay structure with a cutoff at 10hr week for tuition fee reimbursement.

My little girl had a recent projects. She had to choose from one of six entrepreneurs and answer some questions about one of them in complete sentences. How was she to acquire the information about this person? A URL to a biography.com bio.

Fine. I have a computer and she was able to read the article. She then answered the questions. To my surprise, she hadn't capitalized a single word. I told her that she needed to capitalize her sentences and proper pronouns, and she was annoyed because "my teacher doesn't make us do that."

WTF?

First I was annoyed because they sent a link, which means that kids without internet access might not be able to complete the assignment. THEN I was upset because her 3rd grade English teacher didn't care that students were paying attention to basic capitalization. And this is in a REALLY good school district.
Seems so. Also this twitter thread: https://twitter.com/RainerJoswig/status/1213484071952752640

Is there an objective boundary between videos/images doctored for comedic effect and those doctored to be deceptive? If I photoshop Putin to be three feet tall (https://i.imgur.com/8b3kg8l.jpg) and post it on facebook for my friends to laugh at, would that count as a video that's been 'doctored and objectively false'?

'Objectively true or false' is easier than 'objectively comedic or deceptive', and I'm not sure the former is really what you want.
What does that mean ? If you felt better and personally were prouder of the work done back in C with no autocomplete but the business was deriving more value from your work with autocomplete, how should One answer? Or more importantly, what if the requirements are so much more today that if you adopted the same tools as 20 years ago you’d fall behind?

I admire those who stick with their old tools and forgo modern ones so they can stay sharp. They tend to miss the forest for the trees though.
I had low-grade back pain for years. Then after an incident where I could barely walk for a few days, I decided to go to physical therapy. Within a month or so, the pain was pretty much gone (although I went to PT until they told me I was good).

Basically, as long as I do a couple of exercises (mostly leg strengthening) every day, I basically have no back pain.
I lived in Beijing for 9 years and it didn't seem to be a problem. Yes, I occasionally had to really write something in Chinese (e.g. at the bank when making an account changed), but my hand was basically held while writing it. The post office and hospital never required me to write in Chinese.
No. Lots of marketing is directly tied to revenue generated and get compensated on their direct ability to generate pipeline. It's directly tied to performance.

It may surprise you to learn that most businesses employ minimal staffing no matter what the min. wage is.

I worked for $5.25 an hour as a teenager, and that doesn't mean they just employed more people and we all took it easy. I would challenge the assertion that a business would not optimize worker output just because they are cheaper (and cheaper is relative, I'm sure even when it was lower the business owners still claimed it was too high).

Lastly, there are many ways a business divides its costs and there are many ways to be successful, even if sharing more profits with workers. Just ask Costco.
No, BO. Anyway a astringent acidic smell. Like lactic acid.

I have a sensitive nose, and my office mate bikes into work 7 mi through hills in any type of weather. Good for him.

But, if he had to wear his rain coat, he smells. Even after he showers and keeps his gear in the lockers.

It’s nauseating.

Must be a place with good public transit? I know someone that drives an hour and a half one way just to work in a call center and drive back. So around 3 hours wasted. I guess only music, or maybe a audio book or podcast then in that case but I've seen people text and drive, read books and do makeup before though too even if you aren't supposed to. So many parts of the US lacks public transport, so if you don't have a car you are limited so much. However in the bigger cities there's more options.
While on the face of it that's true, it's no accident that USB-C basically looks like a Lightning connector turned inside-out. The design of Lightning definitely influenced the design of the USB-C connector.
Politics aside that is the huge problem of having a monopoly in that industry. I really hope we will have more contract chip manufacturers at some point in the future.
That’s just simply not true. Diamond dependencies are an all too common occurrence in java if you are writing anything serious. It doesn’t happen everyday but when it does it’s a serious PITA. It’s not a “you’re doing something wrong” but a “someone did something weird somewhere but now it’s up to you to solve”. You just pray it’s someone in your company who was the careless one.
That would be the ideal. In the short term almost any excess demand can be soaked up by the existing labor pool. It is only after a few weeks of extra work that most worker's output diminishes. By then the owner/manager just views the employees as slacking. See any game company or startup, and look for write ups on burnout. It isn't just white collar.
I did structure my argument to say that the optimistic estimates precede the other problems. Before ordinary problems of inefficiency and corruption arise, the project has to be sold as a viable investment.

I take the argument about selection bias from Brent Flyvbjerg, who has been studying megaprojects for a fair while now. He calls it "survival of the unfittest"[0].

A similar resource is Merrow's Industrial Megaprojects[1], which is based on a large dataset of such efforts. He identifies many factors in project overruns, but essentially notes that most projects start off with fanciful estimates that will never be met. For a book about petrochemical plants, bridges and power stations, it's a fun read.

Totally opposite, which is why I love that it’s a choice now!
It includes what you have written and much of what you are writing, you are basically writing your character blind. Writing in straight lines is especially problematic on whiteboards (which these days is an interviewing handicap).
Do the delivery drivers see the message prior to accepting the gig?

Doordash may not be able to do much about that, since meal delivery demand is pretty spiky. As in any restaurant, there's a rush at lunch, another at dinner, and it's pretty quiet the rest of the time.

> I do know there is a lot of significant astronomy done by space telescope and that the importance of space astronomy is only growing.

Former astronomer here. I would argue that the importance of space astronomy is actually decreasing. Satellite telescopes are most important at wavelengths that the Earth's atmosphere absorbs like IR, UV, and X-ray. At visible wavelengths satellite telescopes have been much less important over the past couple of decades due to the development of adaptive optics.

The main reason to put a visible wavelength telescope in space is that you avoid the smearing out of the source by the atmosphere. Adaptive optics solves this problem by correcting for the distortions induced by the atmosphere and bringing images to resolutions that are comparable to (though still not quite as good as) what you can achieve in space.

Since space telescopes no longer have the advantage of much greater resolution, there's much less of a compelling reason to use them for most research problems. (Some questions, of course, can only be tackled by using the highest resolution available.) On every other dimension space-based telescopes are inferior to ground-based telescopes. They are more expensive by many orders of magnitude, much, much smaller, and they cannot be changed once they're up (at least not easily). By contrast a ground based observatory can get substantially better over the course of a year by installing better detectors.
Change is not going to come easy considering us government is profiting off student loans while running a massive deficit.
A large fraction of NYC's subway system was built using cut-and-cover, which is much cheaper than the deep tunneling being used for projects like the Second Avenue line or the East Side Access.

Maybe rather then composing things we should have compilers that create systems across these barriers.

For example a programming language that compiles to three application servers and a queue. The application itself exists across multiple barriers but the source code is a single project.

You’ve got the wrong perspective.

GUI and autocompletion aren't mutually exclusive. In fact I think they compliment each other well. See: your browser's address bar, google's search form, etc. If you're doing anything non-trivial with a GUI, chances are you're using a keyboard of some sort at the same time, and those interactions often benefit from autocompletion.

The reason we're still using keyboards, which are basically late-19th century technology, is because we've yet to figure out a faster and more precise method of getting words out of a human brain and into a machine. You could quibble over qwerty vs dvorak or chorded stenotype keyboards, but all share the premise of speaking using your fingers.

(Voice recognition isn't there yet and probably never will be if human-to-human interactions are anything to go by (it's common for humans to use text to communicate with each other when they need to be precise, even when both share a common spoken language.))

If you bought a new car today with wired CarPlay, you might still be driving it in 5 or even 10 years, and you really wouldn't want to lose the ability to actually use CarPlay in just a year or two.
I'm not sure Doordash necessarily has that visibility. It seems like the restaurants build a service charge into their Doordash orders that isn't present if you go there and get a menu.
As I understand it dark matter is predicted by one set of observations and confirmed by many others within calculated error bounds. It's not some kind of overfit model trying to explain a single observation. So to discount it you'd need to explain why it just so happens that many observations converge to the same results as that which you would expect from the predicted dark matter distribution. I don't think mere refraction can explain lots of different observations.

Dark energy on the other hand is a whole other story.
