Yes. I expect to get results that contain the keywords "shirt", "stripes", and "without", but perhaps with the last term ignored. Why, what would you expect? Would you search for "shirts that don't have stripes"? Or "shirts lacking stripes"?

A "normal" build for the last 10 years (and much longer) has been a Case/MB/CPU/Cooler/Ram/SSD/PSU/GPU(if required) affair.

The problem with SFF is airflow. If everything is crammed together you are going to have to pump it through with high pressure and small fans which means noise, lots of it, if you want to have a high performance rig.

If you don't need performance, just get an all-in-1 or remodel a laptop build into the back of your monitor.
Ethanol is hygroscopic. It is indeed the ethanol at fault.
It would be interesting to have some analysis digging into potential causes for this result. As someone who was recently surprised at how much impact a CPU upgrade (G3258 -> 4570 on the same LGA 1150 motherboard [1]) had on overall performance even in older indie titles where I wouldn't have expected it to matter much, I would be curious to look at what background services are running, what their cpu/memory footprint is, and how well the OS handles scheduling them.

Even without the obvious pigs like virus scanner, printer utility, launchers for other storefronts, various chrome-embeds like Slack and Spotify, I wouldn't be surprised if the Linux desktop does a better job of this.

What exactly cost so much? You can build a retinal display using a $200 off-the-shelf laser projector if you turn down the power and add less than $100 in lenses. I've done it, and I've even managed to get it up to 8K resolution with some more time and money thrown at it. I've since formed a company to try to commercialize it: http://www.alphalux.io
I wish they had some confidence intervals on here. The variance between Bay Area counties (or over time) is quite high - it's rather dubious that Alameda County was at 1.8% while SF was at 0% a week ago.

Indeed, numbers > 1% for symptomatic patients in the Bay Area a week ago are implausible (likely over a magnitude too high) given confirmed case counts since then.

I totally agree with you, especially the last point. Not only that, any company that has an excessive amount of cash or cash-like securities (e.g. Apple) should not receive state-aid. Of course Apple is not asking but it's just an example. We should further limit the salary of management once they receive aid.

It sounds like you're asking for symbolic math utilities, which exist in a number of languages.

Like for example I've tried to play this game building a toy language from first principles but you run into problems rather quickly. A computer can't represent reals (or even all rationals you care about) with a finite number of bits. You can't guarantee that all integers are representable by all rationals and all rationals by reals and so on.

And if you want to throw out formalism and accept the consequences, every language has a way to do it to varying degrees of success. Matlab, Mathematica, Julia, Python, R, basically anything that might be used by a working mathematician probably has the facilities and libraries to help.
At one point I also specialized in conversion-rate optimization for some very large eCommerce sites. If you can easily afford these, take advantage of them. There is no clearer guide for how to take a large eCommerce site from mediocre to being well-optimized for conversion.

Remote work should be an absolute thing, mandated by law, or at least strong incentives, to reduce our carbon footprint. Unless you truly need to go to a central location (laboratory, healthcare, etc.), you should work remotely.

I saw a study that said 40% of SF Bay Area jobs could be remote. If all major metros went remote, this would put a dent in our CO2 output.

Advantages of offices, face-to-face interaction, etc. just doesn't matter. Climate change is an existential threat according to the experts, so we should actually take it seriously and modify our society accordingly.
To me, the most interesting implication here is that this must not adversely affect Google's ad revenue. If it did, they would surely fix it. This, in turn, means that apparently we have been trained to interface with search engines such that this is not a problem.

> there are a bunch of dumb tax rules that already allow taxes to be avoided as long as the money isn't repatriated

I think that was just in the US; but the Trump tax changes got rid of global taxes on US companies, payable on repatriation and replaced it with essentially a minimum tax on global income, payable immediately, but credited by foreign taxes paid; plus a different rate on US income.

IIRC, the global minimum rate is about 10%, and the US rate is about 20%, and there's probably some progressivity, so those are the top marginal rates, but this isn't tax advice.

Companies that intentionally run with razor-thin balance sheets and don't have any buffers built in to withstand shocks, are more fragile than companies with some buffer, all other things being equal.

If the company chooses to pay out said buffer as dividends, it's to the benefit of shareholders. That's completely fine, market working as intended! But they shouldn't then be able to turn around and get state aid because the lack of said buffer now makes their company non-viable, at least not without restrictions like the Danes are imposing (no future dividends). To do otherwise incentivizes creating these fragile bufferless companies, and puts companies that do have a buffer at a competitive disadvantage.

What Denmark is doing, is saying you can get some aid to help your company, but going forward you must pay us (the society who supports you) back before you pay your investors. Unfortunately the dividend restriction period is capped at two years, while it should really be for an indefinite time.

I'm not sure what those three events have to do with my question, which is related to how critical journalism is to the functioning of a democracy. Is your belief that "the news" was widely read and, perhaps more importantly, accurate during those periods? This requires a certain suspension of disbelief I'm not willing to grant the professional journalist class, because it implies that only recently have they been bad at what they do and this period is, somehow, unique.

>This is just superficial, cynical, contrarian ignorance. Power in the US has been flipping between the parties quite freely, so the press either changes their opinion just as often as the electorate, or their influence is rather limited.

No, I'm merely pointing out that when one party wins professional journalism recoils into a state of utter confusion. Recall the famous quote from a writer for The New Yorker about knowing only one person who voted for Richard Nixon in 1972.

>What you like is their capability to pre-digest the news, remove anything that might challenge you, and regurgitate the rest in a form that doesn't conflict with your conspiratorial mindset.

I actually very much dislike the journalist who tries to tell me what to think about a certain topic or event, though I see that you're attempting to attribute this behavior only to the "4chan youtube bro", which is a little strange since most journalists today - especially, it seems, mainstream ones - have explicit online personae that reflect a certain worldview and work for news orgs who attempt to "explain" the news to you. This isn't reporting - it's advocacy and opinion journalism where they attempt to inoculate "opinion" by claiming they're just "explaining".

You need to set it ahead, not behind. ;) Otherwise you'll be even more late.

I'm sure it doesn't work for everyone, but I've been doing this for years, and it does help me. Yes, of course you always know that it's ahead, but it takes a moment for that fact to register, and that moment can be just long enough to incite action.

(For those who have read Thinking Fast and Slow, I think this is sort of a "hack" of System 1.) Basically I'm leveraging the reactive part of my mind to help me achieve the result that the more strategic part wants.
The problem is that, the web isn't really an open standard if there's only one implementation of the standard. The standard just becomes "whatever works in Chromium".

It also gives Google the power to unilaterally add or remove anything from the standard as they think will benefit Google. Sure, Microsoft or Brave could choose not to go along with the change, but Microsoft doesn't want to spend resources maintaining a fork, so they're much more likely go go along with whatever Google does.
Searching for "now one with stripes this time please" yielded similarly disappointing results :)

The theme toggle button plays a sound when you click it. So not only does this require state for the theme, but also the sound. Also curious is that clicking the button to mute sound plays a sound.

I believe every OS defaults to silent actions for every button. Games, on the other hand, often have sounds for hover/focus and click. I'm not sure what's the better option, but if we're going to default to the OS for theme choice shouldn't we also default to the OS for UI sound choice? I don't know if there's any way to check that via CSS or JS. But I hope that if sites are going to start implementing this more often that browsers at least expose an API with a user preference if not the OS.
Author here: I built this because I wanted to use it at work. There's a ton of room for additional features in this kind of tool, so if it gains traction I'd be happy to keep adding to it.

Things in particular that I'd like to add include a) some way of doing negative-patterns; i.e., "exclude file paths/lines with this pattern", and b) block-matching; i.e., "this contiguous block of several lines was duplicated in these files". Having tested out the tool some, I think the latter in particular would dramatically increase its usefulness as a refactoring tool, though I'm also not sure yet how I'd go about implementing that.

DUH! The point of a surplus is to save for emergencies! Sure, if there is more than, hm, let's use Chase bank: Six months savings, then send the rest back. But running a state with no emergency savings seems asinine, no?

Unless... maybe a state can just go way into debt immediately if they need to in case of emergency? I don't know how this works, but I'll quote Chase bank, when they berated millennials for not having 6 months savings in case of emergency.

If you think at all about why a company was registered in a tax haven to begin with, then it's clear that they shouldn't even be in a line to get bailouts from "foreign entities" (from the point of view of the company) at all.

If a company wants to be eligible for benefits inside a country, they have to follow all the laws.

No ifs, buts, ands.

If you feel that the company is "doing good work" why not ask them to be registered in the country to begin with? OR better - move headquarters into the country being discussed (or have that be a condition for receiving bailout funds).

All this said, I think it's up to the government of the Tax Havens themselves to support these companies. These tax havens derive significant benefit from being used in this way. It's time for the tax haven to step up and provide funding for support during this challenging time.

> Why should tax payers bail out a tax avoiding company?

Tax avoidance also tends to be on profits. A lot of companies in the US have done corporate inversions, but they're still paying local payroll, property, and sales taxes. Freezing dividends and buybacks punishes the people who benefited from the tax avoidance, but you have to be careful not to do this at the expense of workers.

The other argument, and this is from a US perspective, is you're pushing 20% unemployment, why are you wasting your time promoting your political passion project? Spend the money, ask questions later.

> The moneyed classes of America don't like redundancy and they don't like long term investments.

This class denigrating language does nothing to elevate the discussion and it is absolutely false (in the sense that it is only a "truth" within your worldview and the worldview of others who share it), and it is false in the sense that it doesn't accurately describe the behaviors of individuals in the "moneyed class".

The "moneyed classes" as you call it if anything have more redundancy and longer term investments that most other classes. It is incredibly rare for anyone in the "moneyed classes" to not have a balanced portfolio of investments that add in fiscal redundancy in case one investment goes bad. The portfolios are also balanced insofar as balancing short term and long term growth depending on their investment horizon.

The problems you've identified have far more to do with a coordination problem than the vices of individuals.

The "moneyed class" is not one coordinated hive mind mass that all conspire with one another to avoid redundancy and eschew long term investments.

The "moneyed class" like the "unmoneyed class" are all individual actors each acting in their own self interest and trying to figure out an optimal solution given limited imperfect information and handicapped by many cognitive biases.

Any system that is going to solve the issue of redundancy and long term investments needs to acknowledge the reality of limited imperfective information and cognitive biases and the impact these have on human reasoning and the subsequent actions of individuals.
