The cost of material is only smaller part of the price. High price has more to do with the imbalance between the supply and demand. Supply growth is limited by the number of orthodontists. This is due to the fact that every orthodontic treatment requires human expert to oversee and manage it. SmileDirectClub is trying to disprove this last assumption, and we still have to see if they manage it.

We can focus on "real issues" while also recognizing the active espionage and cyber-warfare being conducted by the Chinese. Healthcare is a huge priority for them and it is not hard to find cases of them setting up state security agents as professors to induce masters and phd candidates to perform spying while working at e.g. NIH.

China's reputation for business and state espionage is not some racist or xenophobic trend; it comes from years of them performing said espionage.
That’s not true, it’s about risk-adjusted returns. What Buffet presumably believes is that a 9% loan has a better reward/risk ratio than the newspaper business. As long as a return is greater than the borrowing rate, you csn synthetically make any return you want. This is why risk is important, because leverage is going to multiply it as well.
The original Mac OS supported a single app plus "desk accessories" which relied entirely on every application calling them at exactly the right points in their own main event loop. It was a very limited form of "cooperative multi-tasking" which isn't really multi-tasking at all IMO. If any app or desk accessory got even the slightest part of the scheme wrong, which was easy to do because the "rules" were complex and unclear, it would take down the whole lot. No background threads, or really threads at all. Even contemporary DOS TSRs did better. Switcher came fairly shortly after, but (as the linked article makes clear) it was definitely a hack. Real multi-tasking didn't come to the Mac for a long time.
Just because YouTube gets it wrong doesn't mean it's just theory. YouTube is not the only site that has automated content scanning for copyright violations. Getty and other photo sites have gotten this wrong in the same way by sending C&D letters for violations to the actual copyright holders.

I'm in a similar job. We block people from scraping if they break a threshold, but we also refer them to the reporting system, which can get all of the information that they are collecting in a variety of formats.

I wonder if something like this would be allowed: if all the public information was available in a well-collated format, then can scrapers be blocked? I imagine that will eventually be fought in court as well.
The court document says "... refrain from putting in place any legal or technical measures with the effect of blocking hiQ's access to public profiles." on page 11. I wonder if they mean targeted measures specifically blocking hiQ but allowing others such as Google.

That paper looks very interesting, thanks! I'll have to read it. I agree that the cost of storage is an important concern, but the calculations I've done don't substantiate the worries I've often seen. On skimming the paper, it isn't obvious what level of overprovisioning, utility-scale storage, and demand response they're presuming, or what learning curves for PV and battery costs (including energy and material costs). Have you been able to find where they described those assumptions?
I think the GP in this context means, e.g. LinkedIn wants their information to be public in the cases where it benefits them as a business. But then they want it to not be public when it doesn't benefit them. There is no such thing as "public information, except ..." - information is public, or it's not. If none of LinkedIn's data was public, they would have a much harder time getting people to sign up, and having as many users signed up as possible is part of their business model.

From a copyright perspective (since that's what LinkedIn's lawyers claimed): imagine if a newspaper sued another newspaper, saying that - not just the content of its paper - the information in the newspaper was copyrighted and could not be accessed by "unauthorized" third party companies. Either you print it, or you don't!
It does seem to miss the "Query" part of "Language INtegrated Query". Though the methods are convenient in any case.

One of the most mind-blowing moments I can remember in my career is when I realized just how powerful the tandem of LINQ and IQueryable was.

Now, writing your own LINQ provider is no walk in the park, but is a really satisfying project and worth doing once, if only to get a deeper understanding of what's going on with expression trees and the inner workings LINQ. It's almost like a language within a language.
Well nothing in this universe is 100% demonstrably true, yet we still must take an evidence-based and scientific approach to making energy policy decisions. The evidence says that the current management process is working. There is no evidence to say that the current process will stop working. We cannot paralyze ourselves with unfounded fears of future unknowns. What we do know is that there is plenty of evidence to say that there are going to be catastrophic consequences should we not clean up our energy production, and currently there is no 100% low-carbon solution that does not involve nuclear.

My particular issues are different from most people here.

The biggest impact, for me, is that the dominance of Google and Facebook based on having access to this data for the general population has led to worse advertising revenue for the news industry and some of my favorite websites. That has caused some of them to rely on memberships and paywalls.

I also don't appreciate that the money that they've accrued due to their dominance as a result of data like this has led to undue political influence. That comes at the expense, I believe, of voters (and I'm one of them). I don't think that power is healthy for a democracy, generally. I believe this about non-tech companies, too, so I wouldn't suggest anybody just pick on this industry.

This isn't to say that I'm not concerned about privacy. It's only to say that IF YOU AREN'T, then there are other reasons to root for people to have transparency around how their data gets passed around.
"the more you feel like a noob, the better."
I am not convinced.

With experience it should become rarer and rarer to encounter some things that makes so little sense that you feel like a noob, and you certainly shouldn't feel aimless.

The more systems you explore, the bigger the toolbox you acquire. And there are not infinitely many existing tools because they once have been invented. And often these tools can be categorized by their operating principles which are even fewer. Because most disciplines overlap, the more you explore the faster the exploration goes.

Sure, when you encounter something new you will need to gather some info before you are operational, but when you are enough of a generalist, you will have picked up enough heuristics to know who, where, and what to look for, and it shouldn't take long.

Sure, we can dig and make any subject arbitrarily deep so there are infinitely many new things to explore and be amazed by. Staying humble, curious, honest and acknowledging that there are plenty of things that you have explored yet is also necessary.

But if you disperse by being contempt of being a noob you risk becoming lost in a senseless experiencing of a chaotic mess, and not gather experience by seeing the order things could be arranged into.

So when you feel like a noob, sort it out.
> real work is typically file-centric

What is this silly ‘real work’ gate-keeping? I guess the author means their work.

My fitness instructor uses an iPad to refer to fitness plans. He’s doing real work. He uses files to do it as well! Opening an Excel spreadsheet.

My friend is an outdoor teacher and uses an iPad as a map. He’s doing real work. Maps are files.

Another friend works as a train engineer and uses an iPad to refer to technical manuals. He’s doing real work. The manuals are PDF files.

My colleagues who do recruitment at conferences take people’s details on iPads. They’re doing real work too. Each form filled in is a file.

Let's not conflate a) a person's personal data, and b) a business's dataset. The GP and the article are clearly referring to the latter. Preventing web scraping won't protect users from businesses collecting their data.
>Nevertheless, modules and try... it seems like it’s just an effort to add them all back in again.

Keyword is "extraneous features". 10 years of hard experience showed neither of modules nor a better error handling story (not necessarily "try") are "extraneous".

On the contrary, extraneous is what we get when everybody implements their own ad-hoc solution for those.
How so? Android has a file system that's accessible to the user out of the box, and there are numerous file manager apps on the Play Store in addition to whatever the OEM packaged in the Android OS image. While the Play Store may be a walled garden, Android doesn't stop you from installing APKs from third parties.

In addition to that, Android has had mouse support since at least 2012. It took Apple what, 8 generations to add it into iPad OS?

However, your overall point is correct. the Ipad is more successful as a "productivity" tool than Android among regular people, despite the suite of Microsoft Office apps being fairly similar in quality across both. I'm assuming that Office style apps are what's mostly being used, and not specialist apps like Procreate or Affinity which are iOS only.

My guess is that people are more willing to buy Apple for tablet productivity as their support is more reliably available and it's easy to get third party accessories. On the Android side there is no such guarantee. Samsung is only OEM even attempting to compete with the iPad Pro, but its support doesn't have the same reputation and accessories aren't always available in all markets.
I make 2D games and it seems that Godot is good for that. I'm scared of GDScript though, e.g. not being able to use a package registry that normally comes with standard languages. What's everyone's experience?
I use an iPad Pro as my primary personal device. I have used it to write a book, and to write code for GitHub.

I would use it in my current job, however we have very strict rules about what we are and are not allowed to do with personal devices regardless of their make and model.

It's quite amazing how capable it is once you rustle up a git client, and editor, and a wireless keyboard.

You are completely wrong on your numbers, in France in 2018 nuclear has a capacity factor of 71% and wind of 21,1%

https://bilan-electrique-2018.rte-france.com/eolien/

Also there is currently no offshore wind park, as only offshore would approach the 50% capacity factor, but they won't, they will be in the 43% as estimated by renewables.ninja

Throttling nuclear power happens only a few days in the summer, once every few years, with only a few percent because it only impact a few reactor on some rivers for environmental norms, during the lowest electricity usage of the year.
You're right, thats what the term seems to stand for (I had Googled too, when I was thinking of names). "Compact models" is something I am considering calling this work - its by no means standard :)

> A single one.

You think they are built in series? Like one after the other? Do you place that same requirement on renewable plants?

> To replace the coal power plants of China, one would need to build 1000 reactors.

The Chinese plants under construction will bring nuclear from 2% of the current grid to 20% by 2030. So, no, it's not 1000 reactors, it would be 100 - which is entirely doable. ...and indeed they are planning for an additional 1500GW of nuclear power construction AFTER this current set is finished.

That's the thing. Web scraping isn't really the problem here. It's what companies are doing with personal information. If LinkedIn started doing the same thing as HiQ, it would be just as bad (probably worse), but the legality of web scraping is irrelevant to that.
I find it a huge advantage, in fact the lack of blobs may be my favorite go feature. I'm sure stodgy old companies that want to preserve "IP" through security through obscurity, dislike this model.

The priority is the advertiser. I think google has given up on indexing the web and just sends searches to authorities like wikipedia, let's face it thats what the "average user" wants, and best part is the rest of us have to pay to compete.
The title of this is incendiary, to make the reader emotional about being force fed insects.

Everyone eats trace amounts of bugs all the time without giving it a second thought. Bugs get in our food before we buy it, and after we buy it. For every critter we accidentally discover, there are others that go right through our digestive system.

I have no issues buying a slab of steak or bacon - part of the product is the abstraction from animal to dinner. I'm probably a vegetarian in denial because the process of turning an animal into dinner stresses me out but I am happy to have a bacon cheeseburger.

So it seems fair to me that if we can mask the process of trillions of crickets turning into protein powder for making 2050 meatloaf, that someone like me will have no issue eating that either.

I have a feeling my opinion on this will be controversial because talking about food is controversial. I'm not trying to antagonize anyone reading this.

I had this happen to me at a gym once. They had a promotion where it was a fixed price for a month of access. I handed over my card, signed on the payment pad, and walked out the door. When I got home, I found an onerous contract in my inbox with my signature plastered all over it from that signature pad agreeing to automatic payments, absurd cancellation requirements, BS involving my credit, etc. Fortunately, my state had a three day right of recision, so I was able to instantly nullify it despite their protests that it must go through the cancellation process.

> Your entire comment suggests you didn't bother to read the project docs?

Yes I both read the msdn examples docs many years ago when they came out when first learning LINQ, and clicked through and read them again in your provided links of your project docs to confirm your implementations.

I thought there were two possible things happening here. I took the charitable interpretation and assumed you may not be familiar with the fluent syntax nor the fact it is the standard syntax. Or possibly you may not be familiar with the fact that those examples are meant mainly for instructing the concepts underlying each function and are not best practices. I had all of that in mind when I wrote the following.

> The documentation when introducing concepts it used the SQL syntax. As anyone who has familiarity with the tools uses the fluent syntax. Yes you can say you used samples from the docs, but those are for teaching. You can't compare them to hand written code using a compact syntax

The other interpretation, the one I avoided was that you were not looking for a fair comparison for programmers to learn from. Your response makes it harder for me to ignore this second interpretation.

If I were the owner of a project and looking for a fair comparison, I'd be happy if someone let me know I wasn't using the correct practices in C# and would want to update my project to reflect that. Possibly creating an implementation in C# of what LINQ actually looks like in use. Instead you're digging in deeper behind the "that's what's in MSDN examples documentation".

To put it directly, if you want a fair comparison between languages for people to learn from, and make judgement from, then make it so. Don't use the antiquated SQL syntax.

Please make this a helpful project for people and use the de facto standard syntax. There are differences between languages and a fair comparison would let people learn them.
