Pretty much. Look how not listening to lawyers worked for Ross Ulbright or Hans Reiser. Both suffered from a severe case of Dunning Kruger. Both could have gotten off much lighter had they shut the fuck up and listened to their lawyers...

Only super arrogant people or crazy people are dumb enough to ignore their lawyer or go without.
> Heck, I hear that even professional investors who are paid to buy stocks, are starting to take their money out of the market fearing of what might come next.

and that's why most active managed funds perform worse than most passive index funds. that's why stock picking doesn't work for most (unless you're buffett). That's why timing the market doesn't work.

People are too emotional. If you stick to an algorithmic method (of putting in part of your paycheck every month), ride the ups and the downs (don't sell, don't take on debt to buy extra, unless you can afford the debt easily etc), you will come out ahead more times than behind.
In this case though, it’s a comparison across just scientists. Since so many are in academia, I wouldn’t ascribe a huge variation of artistic/creative pursuits within that population as to whether or not they are upper class. Instead, I think it’s about whether or not they choose to spend their “off hours” doing more research-ey stuff or say playing guitar. But I haven’t read the original book referenced!

>Currently, the science is not settled on whether warming has so far been net-good or net-bad.

When you only have a single Petri dish in which to make observations, and you also happen to eat your lunch out of that same dish, waiting for the science to lock into even greater certainty than that which has been established over the last fifty years or so is a less wise way to approach the matter. Observations of biodiversity loss are, for me, sufficient to move beyond the debating and towards the changing phase.

>I'm far more concerned about the effects of air pollution, acidification etc than a slight increase in temperatures (do not misinterpret: I say more concerned, both are concerning)

Also greatly concerning, but elements of the same whole which needs to be addressed. I think we’re on the same page here - my overall position is that singular focus on targeted solutions for only one aspect of the problem ignores the wider picture and will likely lead to second-order effects which cannot be foreseen.

CO2 as far as air pollution goes it is a nasty topic also. We’re starting to understand the impact of CO2 on human cognition at the local scale. If we consider that the removal of lead from petrol was linked to a significant down-turn in human aggression, what’s the world going to look like if the entire population runs 24/7 with the equivalent of a morning headache, effectively dropping the global IQ by a significant amount?

> Homo sapiens is extremely young, we are born of an ice age. 415ppm is among the lowest CO2 concentrations of all time, ever.

From an anthropogenic POV I’m not sure how this is a good thing. It’s higher than its ever been in the period that allowed humans to develop.

That’s assuming we’re talking about humankind and society as the thing we’re really seeking to save here.

We could also talk about biodiversity, but then the rate of change is probably a more significant element than the resting level. We’re spiking the level at a rate only previously seen during mass extinction events, and it follows that if we did want to draw back down to a lower level again for the purpose of allowing life to flourish again it probably couldn’t be at the same rate.

Yes, many delivery apps may close down. But I think 80% number will prove to be correct. What many miss is that huge number of meals served at restaurant are not leisurely dinners. A large number of eaters just want a meal with minimum fuss because they don't have 1) time 2) kitchen 3) skill or desire to cook.

It will be different from normal restaurant delivery in some ways. As 'cloud' kitchens can analyze large data sets on what gets ordered in a neighborhood on a particular night and prepare it in bulk further driving down cost leading to more deliveries.

All the A-list mountain brands' top-of-the-line shells are currently made with Gore-Tex. I just did a quick scan and Arc'teryx, Black Diamond, Haglöfs, Marmot, Norrøna, Outdoor Research, Patagonia, and Rab all do. I can't find a single brand that I'd consider buying a technical shell from that doesn't. The same holds for boots: Asolo, La Sportiva, Lowa, Scarpa, Vasque, and Zamberlan all use Gore-Tex.
Yeah, I believe it's supposed to be directed by Adam McKay (The Big Short, Vice, Anchorman, etc.) and the original author of the book is writing the script as well. Could be quite good if done right.

Wild. I'm in the same bracket, and I'd say half of my friends and co-workers in the bracket are library people. It's not a matter of going to the library for information that is really available for free on the internet. I'm there for the free books. If you read 40 books a year and are patient enough to ensure the sometimes months-long waitlists for new and popular books, using your local library could easily save you ~$400 per year.

Right. There's a startup which uses cute small robots to deliver food in Berkeley right now [1]. There are still a lot of humans in the loop - handling the actual pickup, remote-controlling the robots from Columbia - but even so that could save money compared to having a local driver in a car to make the whole delivery.

One possible reason is that it's hard to construct a numerical approximation (e.g. polynomial approximation) to the power curve around zero. With a linear part you avoid that problem. This is probably what the 'numerical problems' alludes to.

In the example code for pygame you give, what happens if there is a single typo? It doesn't work either and you probably get an incomprehensible stack trace.

It wasn't that strong, though. That's precisely why there's a popular opinion that Germany was done by 1943, pretty much regardless of anything else - they've spent their own industry while failing to sufficiently cripple the Soviet one. The question then wasn't about who'd win the war, but how long it would take, how many more casualties, and what the map of Europe would be after.

Certainly. I've successfully deployed it to over 500 SMBs where it runs on-site completely unattended on desktop grade machines. That's where it really shines. On my own server I would probably go with SQLite or PostgreSQL, but in this case I specifically picked Firebird for its ultra-low maintenance, resiliency against corruption by system crashes, foolproof* way of moving over data (single file copy), and more than good enough feature set while retaining a low footprint. Works wonders.

Last October I went to the Firebird Conference in Berlin. It's true that the community is fairly small and does not attract a lot of new blood. There are however some very knowledgeable people there who've been around often since day 1. From what I've heard, it's hard to say much about the number of deployments, because it just keeps working, and (not having a reason to) users don't reach out. Most came from InterBase, decades ago. Supposedly software provided by the Russian tax office uses Firebird Embedded...? That adds up rather quickly already. It's unfortunate that nowadays few consider it. Desktop software taking the backseat and the abundance of alternatives play a role in that. The slow development pace is good for stability, but otherwise doesn't help either.

*I flipped a single bit in my Firebird distribution to have the server process set an exclusive read lock in addition to its exclusive write lock, so that an open database can't be copied—the only thing that could go wrong.
Not in this case, from personal experience living in the last years of the USSR. I remember just how "magic" the microwave ovens were to us, and how much better non-Soviet-made tape players and recorders were.

it's pretty hard to make delivery work if you (the business) have to pay the delivery person yourself. the key issue is that one person just can't deliver that many orders in an hour. food has to be sent out soon after it is made so it doesn't get cold (although you can do some amount of staging by keeping it on top of an oven). once the food is in the car, you have an even harder time constraint to have it still be hot when it's delivered. this means the delivery person can only carry a limited number of orders and will need to circle back to home base fairly often. basically you have a spinning hard drive trying to fulfill random, low queue depth io requests while maintaining low latency. it doesn't work well. even if you pay the person minimum wage, it's hard enough to break even during peak hours (the profit on an order is already low). it's really hard not to lose money on the driver off-peak.

the way your typical pizza delivery place makes this work is by skimping on the ingredients big time, then charging the same amount as nearby takeout places plus a delivery fee. you may have noticed that takeout-only places tend to be a lot better for the same price.

now you might ask why restaurants can't just make good food and charge enough so that they actually make money on delivery. unfortunately, most hot food really suffers from being crammed into a little box for 15-20 minutes until it gets to your home. it ends up being closer to reheated leftovers than freshly made food. this tends to create a ceiling for how much money most people are actually willing to pay for takeout/delivery.

source: worked in a takeout place and asked the owners of several of my favorite pizza places why they don't offer delivery.
Sorry to hear about your experience, the getting started experience is an ongoing challenge, there have been improvements in the last year, but we still have a long way to go as well.

Sorry if this wasn't clear, but helm actually isn't required at all, it's just a majority of our examples are written to use helm due helms popularity. The installation hooks really just boil down to kubernetes jobs, so anything that can be represented as a kubernetes job can be used for any of the hooks. This can be a simple script, a helm command, or a complicated custom built application.

The only feature really tied specifically to helm is the catalog feature, which is for building additional applications to be installed on top of an existing gravity cluster. That feature was built around a helm chart as a building block.

The cli should only need to invoke a browser when doing third party authentication flows, ie to use github for login. Using the gravity users invite will also generate a link to send to the enrolling user, so they can set their own password, setup 2fa, etc through the web interface.

We've also been trying to use our community site https://community.gravitational.com/ as a resource for being able to search and ask questions.

> it's also possible that they don't want to be seen gorging themselves at a professional event where they are meeting a lot of people for the first time.

Personally, I'd be less concerned about being seen as gorging myself in a such a situation, and more concerned with whether or not the unfamiliar food was going to leave me with unexpected digestive issues.

People I don't know, in a place I'm unfamiliar with, eating food I'm not familiar with sounds like a great recipe for caution.

> The list of faulty or outright fraudulent experiments done by psychologists grows ever longer.

So what social-psychological experiments are bogus?

The most famous problem experiment I can think of is Zimbardo's fake prison, and IIRC the primary objection was that the effect was too strong. He let it go on too long and everyone was disgusted.

Rosenhan's experiment is bogus, yes, but I have to wonder... psychiatrists were condoning lobotomies just 15 years earlier. Is it likely that an entire discipline could turn itself around in that time? (Which doesn't excuse Rosenhan, of course)

I am 100% open to your thesis but would like more data.
The argument would make sense if you let your family secured, while you accepted the trade-off of living like a king for a while, but taking one for the family. Maddoff's family was destroyed and probably will end changing their name. Had he robbed a bank, it would be different, he screwed a lot of people with sad stories.

As for Holmes, she hasn't even started yet.

For sure, and ‘emitter pays’ is difficult to account since monitoring is required and not really feasible.

It works if everyone is honest, but when there’s financial incentive at local and global level to be dishonest, the outcome is predictable.

> Their capacity for production was higher because they weren't sending everyone to their death.

Well of course that's why. I don't thing anyone is arguing otherwise. OP was simply saying, without the US, the allies would likely have lost.

Why the US was able to supply most of the Ally's supplies doesn't take away from the fact that they did. Your not even arguing against anything OP was saying here, other than the "openly private" contradiction, which was right on. Now of course it wasn't just the US that won the war, without the USSR the Allies would almost assuredly have lost.

Now certain people may argue that one was more responsible for winning the war than the other. I think that's pretty pointless and we can leave it at them both being critical to winning the war.

Teflon is mentioned in the article as a PFAS based chemical that has had legal trouble due to health hazards in the past..

"A just-released film, Dark Waters, stars Mark Ruffalo as an intrepid lawyer battling DuPont in the early 2000s after the chemical giant began making a PFAS-based product, Teflon, at its factory in Parkersburg, West Virginia, where chronic illness and untimely deaths spiked among nearby residents. Several states, New York and Ohio among them, have filed lawsuits that seek compensation for health problems caused by drinking water polluted by PFAS. DuPont and 3M are frequently defendants in these suits."
What this article (but not others) fails to mention is that these lawyers are some of the best-paid in Silicon Valley: Cooley LLP. I know an acquisition where Cooley walked away with more than any employee. Cooley isn’t going to be missing much.

I’m surprised Cooley would even take her as a client given the criminal case and her net worth versus the liabilities. I would have thought they’re dump her years ago. “Lawyers getting stiffed” is a pretty biased headline. “Vultures discover empty carcass is actually empty” is more accurate.
As complexity increases (it does more than every now), it's a lot less intuitive than it was many versions ago.

Now iOS has so many arcane corners in both the configuration and usability that the learning curve of use is much higher. Still love it and it's just a fact of life that, like Python, as it gains capability it becomes less simple.

Transmission dynamics of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)
It took a sharp dip in iOS 7 when Jony Ive took over for Scott Forstall, but it's more than recovered. The gesture navigation on home-buttonless iPhones is a revelation, and makes the original, button-based system look clumsy in comparison (it's no surprise Google more or less copied it wholesale in Android 9). And it's almost physically painful to go back to a phone without the universal back gesture, despite it never having existed in early versions of iOS.
