It is common to have both options in the UK. Most people go for whole vegetables, and the chopped versions are seen as convenience options. Kinda half-way to a ready meal.

You do also get whole vegetables in plastic packaging, but there has been a push to remove this. I believe one of the major supermarkets (Morrissons) has recently removed all plastic packaging from fresh produce.

In college I would make primitive webpages for my college newspaper to use for live feeds and such content publishing. I built something like this (although vastly less polished) - the writers could just fill in details in a sheet & add image URLs, and my static page could retrieve the spreadsheet contents via API and essentially have a super cheap data backend with a super fancy collaborative editor. Fun times.
The interesting thing with open source is that it devalues the contribution of the software engineer. Your effort and ideas are now worth 0. You either do that work for free, on your spare time, or are paid by some company to write software that is seen, by the company paying you, as a commodity. Open source is at the extreme end of neoliberalism. It is really a concept from the savage capitalist mentality of the MBA bots that run the corporate world. They certainly love open source.
This is interesting. It seems like everything is going subscription-based. It sort if makes sense in that software can be improved upon after sale and needs to be maintained, but on the other hand a single but fix can be sent to an arbitrarily large number of units, so with this model only the largest companies will be able to compete in features and price.

With so many purchases to consider, and less and less time during which to do it, I wonder when we'll get to the point that there are companies that sell an entire "lifestyle". You make $30k/year? Here's our bronze subscription option. For $20,000/year we'll put you up in a spartanly furnished apartment and with a servicable car and you'll get your staple foods and toiletries delivered every other week. Whatever you have leftover after taxes is yours for saving or spending. Make $150k? The gold package costs $90k/year and includes a luxury apartment downtown, a Tesla and fresh vegetables shipped twice a week!
A cynic might suggest that the U.S. gets intelligence access into parts of the world they would otherwise not so easily be allowed.
>The activists are focused on completely the wrong area; it's going to take years-to-decades fixing problems much earlier in life before companies would even be able to do such hiring.

And this is the breakdown of the argument, it's a way to sideline a huge ask into the argument and stall it out. It's designed to lead the question of "well it will take decades, nothing we can do now".

I don't disagree there are some decades of change needed, but still there should be some introspection into where and who is making this argument.

Often they are the ones who've already made it.

That's where you run into trouble debating this stuff.

Most of religion is in the interpretation of that religion's holy literature. Interpretations can and do change, and not everything is as clear as one might think.

Famously, in Christianity, God made Earth in 6 days, and rested on the 7th. What is a day? Is it an Earth day, ie. 24 hours? What if this God wasn't from Earth and doesn't experience time the same way humans do? Perhaps this God was from Venus, and experienced 6 days of 2802 Earth hours.

World wide flooding can be explained with localized floods based on knowledge of the explored world at the time the writing was done. Same with most writing from those times.

Lastly, most modern interpretations of holy literature don't claim everything in the text is fact or historical, but rather it has a mix of historical events and stories which promote religious principles.
I don't think you are interpreting those links correctly.

For 2, where I think you pulled the $67/101 million, appears to be the outstanding balance of assessment including what was unpaid over previous periods. Not familiar with the data but that doesn't sound like the required contributions in a year, it just sounds like the US has the biggest unpaid assessed bill.

For 3, I don't see where you obtained those numbers either. The "gross assessment" which I assume is the contribution based on wealth/population is $236 million for the US vs $1076 million total assessed.

Again not familiar with the data, I could be wrong. That's how I am reading those documents though.

My experience of Slack is that their search has gotten better recently, especially when using some of the filters available. That said, I would also agree that search is probably a key area for them to improve on.
Testing arose with the advent of PHP and JavaScript. Because compilers check nothing in these languages, testing must be written separately, otherwise it's impossible to make even a short program without errors.
One of the most fascinating things to me about the 1960s has always been the fashion in which power was transferred from the old left of the day, to what was then known as the "New Left" - Tom Hayden's crowd. I've always wondered what it would look like to see something like that happen in real time.

One might hope to see the then-"New Left", now both physically and ideologically very much the old left, face their supersedure with greater equanimity than their own predecessors, to whom they offered no more kindness than they are receiving now. They, too, had their little lists, back when they were young. To bleat about having earned a place on others' lists now fails to favorably impress, for all that it's unsurprising.

It seems like a common misconception that humans have some secret power to solve undecidable problems that computers lack. But "this problem is undecidable in general" doesn't mean "computers cannot solve small instances of the problem", it means "there's no single algorithm that will correctly solve all instances of this problem". Typically undecidability results in language theory rely on embedding a Turing machine in the language and going "Turing machines halting is undecidable, therefore this is undecidable in general". But this only tells you that _some_ problem instances are undecidable (at least those that correspond to Turing machine embeddings, and probably many more). Smaller problems (that aren't big enough to be disguised Turing machines) can still be decidable, and I suspect that any problem simple enough to happen in an exam is decidable.

Another example of this: theorem-proving is undecidable, yet automated thoerem provers are definitely capable of solving simple problems. The undecidability result means that any given automated theorem provers isn't capable of proving the truth/falsity of all statements. But this isn't some crazy limitation - this is true of humans as well. You can solve some math problems, but if someone showed up with an exabyte-long statement about how a problem-solver-who-is-identical-to-you-in-every-capability solves problems and asked you to prove it, obviously you wouldn't be able to do that.
My reaction to this was it’s their laptop, and wfh doesn’t really change that. I don’t even care about network sniffing, but man camera and mic access seems iffy. At least camera I can physically block.

I do think there’s a difference between an Alexa and my employer getting 24 access to my mic. By being in more people’s houses Alexa is much more likely to be detected if doing something nefarious, and the choice to risk it is entirely up to me. Find a new job is much harder than the alternative to voice command

True but for the dev's and admin's its pretty much the most important thing to have a good base.
Your response seems knee-jerk in consideration of the actor more than the action.

If President Obama had made a statement saying, “Today we are taking the grave but necessary step of withdrawing from the WHO due to their not being an effective advocate for their mandate.” would you have the same instant reaction?

As a centrist myself, the country seems so hyper partisan with neither side willing to give a millimeter. Sometimes though it’s right to disband an organization if it isn’t doing the job it is meant to. I don’t know whether the WHO was or wasn’t but maybe this action isn’t anymore “so so stupid” than disbanding the League of Nations at the end of World War II. I don’t see any reasons for this being stupid in your post other than ad hominem attacks and namecalling against the actor.
It could still be useful if the patents were part of a defence patent portfolio. (Ideally I'd abolish software patents altogether, or set a hard 10 year limit on them together with some kind of mechanism to curb the impact of add-on and submarine patents.)

Oh and also from the article:

> In some markets, BMW owners may also be able to pay for "authentic" BMW engine sounds that will come through the car stereo. In many BMW cars today, the engine sound is augmented inside the cabin with pre-recorded sounds from the stereo. These are tuned to match the engine speed and performance so they sound like actual sounds coming directly from the engine. This is done so that the cabin can be quiet during normal driving but occupants can still experience engine sound when it's wanted, BMW executives have said.

I'm not going to go as far as to say we've stopped building useful things, but we really could be a post-scarcity society if we had our priorities right.
Seems like a lot of people have converged around that.

The advent of the smartphone really damaged Microsofts monopoly imo. Windows use to be the only way to do computery things for everyman, but now people browse, check email, and consume content on their smart phone/devices.

The advent of the web as a platform for applications also made OS lock-in less of a thing.
Absolutely :) Very convincing, but as per your user-info (should have read that before trying to be smart), I should not expect less of someone with a proper philosophical education and the (as I suppose) accompanying repository of philosophical knowledge ;) The subject of your thesis seems pretty interesting,... ah, I'm digressing ;)

Now, regarding Gods and apples: Because that's how I setup the Gedankenexperiment (and assuming I belong to the majority of people, who are neither blind nor suffering from severe neurological problems), if there was some matter in form of an apple on my desk, I should perceive it. IIRC Kant would say that I have a-priory knowledge of the absence of an apple from my desk.
(I'm afraid I can't argue against that, so let me rephrase the first paragraph until I come up with something useful on how to convince you that comparing religion to an non-existent apple is perfectly fine reasoning.)

[... some minutes passed ...]

No, I think you're right. The problem is that, as you say, an 'apple' is an inherently physical object. Hence there either is one sitting on my desk and I can see it, or I can see that there is none. I can not just bend the definition of an apple at will, so I think I'm stuck here; accordingly, when I say "I believe in the apple on my desk", I am basing my proclaimed belief on a verifieable-false proposition; and much as with false assumptions, from that I can obviously derive anything.
Religion (or other constructs of the mind) don't exist as physical objects (there is no religion-shaped matter), yet they influence and shape (ha!) our world, often even beyond what's possible for a physical object [1].

edit So when I say that I still believe in the apple on the desk even if there is proof of the contrary, I am just acting like an idiot - and that's what's actually influencing/shaping my social relationships ;) end edit

But, one ray of light :) Comparing religion to an apple might not be possible, but I think it's undecidable if comparing God to an apple is: What constitutes God is a matter of belief and hence there is no coherent definition. E.g. some might say there is no physical God, or maybe there is one but not "on our realm of existence" (whatever that means). OTOH, some religious people might even go as far to say that there is a physical heaven and a physical hell, even when presented physical proof of the contrary. So, maybe, there is an apple after all? ;)

[1] I can't resist but to note that, if we were on Pratchett's Discworld, this would be much easier. In that case "the Gods" would probably come knocking on my door for implying that they might not exist.
Yep. Also FL is over represented for some reason.
Not me. All realtime systems have some latency, but what makes them realtime is that they must maintain throughput, processing data as quickly as it comes in. You can subdivide to hard-realtime and soft-realtime depending on how strict your latency requirements are, but it is still realtime.
Apple is doing this now in iOS 14 - not quite hardwired but their OS is so controlled it's nearly the same thing. I doubt an app can bypass it. https://9to5mac.com/2020/07/07/ios-14-what-do-the-orange-and...

On Android you have the pop-up phones of course! Sadly they are super heavy... I was checking the Poco F2 last weekend and it's > 200 grams which is really a lot. Great for privacy though (and I really don't care about the front cam much anyway).

Unless you happen to need to exchange Office type documents with other entities. In that case you'll need the MS Office suite for compatibility.

Or your business needs niche software that only happens to exist for Windows.

Or if your business's core competency isn't technology related and you don't want to pay a premium for Apple products or hire a top tier IT staff to manage open source infrastructure.

Get out of the tech industry and see what most enterprise IT infrastructure looks like. It does not look like a healthy competitive market.

When people say "covid is like flu" sometimes they mean "flu is a big deal, and a bad flu year kills lots of people". (I agree with that).

But sometimes they mean "flu isn't so bad, it's a bit like a cold, doesn't kill so many people".
It doesn't have to be very draconian, just a little tick box:

Right. From what I've read, it seems like the most effective strategy would be locking down elder care homes tightly. And also tightly locking down staff at elder care homes. Because once one resident gets infected, there's no way to prevent other residents, and staff who care for them, from getting infected. At least, short of staff wearing ebola level protection, and changing between residents. Which would be impossibly expensive and time consuming.

Others in the general population who are at serious risk of complications, such as elderly and those with preexisting conditions, should also isolate themselves. As I gotta say, I have done.

But I suspect that it will turn out that general lockdown is neither good enough, nor worth the long term economic consequences. Except of course that those long term consequences will arguably mitigate global climate change.
great insights. How much sample have i wasted in the past?
It's a result of non zero-sum economics, so you won't see it from any time before the 18th century.
That's pretty much what people describe when they say "privatize the profits, socialize the losses", isn't it?

And you're already preparing to shift the blame towards the people critical of that approach.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. This is Computer Science and not Computer Engineering after all.

For live content, you can host your own RTMP ingest server and serve HLS video using this Docker container:

https://github.com/awakening-church/awakening-nginx-rtmp/tre...

If you're a church or nonprofit, you can run it for free on Azure by applying for a sponsorship. I wrote automation to setup and teardown the system on Azure: https://github.com/awakening-church/live-infrastructure

Video playback is handled by Video.js with the HLS plugin. Our existing frontend web server reverse-proxies to the Docker instance serving HLS playlists and video chunks.

I used this software from 2016 until about 6 months ago. We use Vimeo + Restream nowadays. If we ever needed to self-host again, it would be easy to switch back.

would work fine.
There are schools which just teach you programming and computer skills and do a good job at it. But companies will still prefer candidates with computer science degrees, or even outright require a CS degree, even for simple programming jobs that really don't need one. The degree is used as no more than an intelligence filter. This relegates anyone who has a practically oriented degree to being regarded as a second class programmer, the perception being that you would have studied CS instead if you had the ability.

This completely sucks for practically inclined people who are forced to trudge through a theoretical degree that doesn't interest them, and where 90% of the material they will never use, just to prove that they're smart enough.

They then tend to blame academia for being out of touch, ivory tower, etc. But academia is not at fault here, they are teaching what they claim to teach: computer science. There are good pratically minded degrees which prepare you just fine for the average programming job, it's employers who constantly signal that they value CS degrees more.
> you make it sound like ... lowers the overall probability

I think that depends on whether you interpret the comment as trying to mitigate the perceived magnitude of the issue, or provide clear and concise information on what the issue entails.

I read it more as a "here's what the preconditions are, and there's some question as to whether the issue is actually a bug or not", and not "you have to do this for it to be a problem, so it's less bad than you think", so the wording didn't seem problematic at all to me.
> It seems like this mostly only happens to celebrities who have positioned themselves as liberal thinkers, though

A professional soccer player was fired because his wife made racist posts [1]. Not him, his wife. Of course, that is still something happening to a celebrity (even if a relatively minor one), but the precedent that a person can be fired because of something a family member said is chilling.

(Of course, given at-will employment, it was legal to fire him for this – being married to a person with shitty views is not a protected class – but, not everything legal should be socially acceptable, and firing someone simply because of their spouse's opinions should not be socially acceptable.)
