I've never understood the "most developed nations _______" argument. So what? "Most" parties doing something doesn't make it the right choice. In any other discussion this would be rightfully called out as an "appeal to the majority" fallacy.
Nước chấm literally means "dipping sauce" and so it includes all kinds of sauces used for dipping. Each dish usually accompanies a specific flavor of dipping sauce, and there can be heated debates as to which dipping sauce is the most appropriate for a particular dish. That said, nước chấm at any restaurant is generically understood to be the house flavor of nước mắm dipping sauce, which is essentially their take on the ratio of nước mắm, water, lime juice/vinegar/pineapple juice, sugar, and chili. As you travel from North to South, this dipping sauce becomes sweeter (with an exception for the Huế area, where you'd find even their basic level of spiciness scorching hot if you're not used to eating spicy food).

Ah, but you don't understand where the monopoly is. It's on the other side: Businesses must support Google Search and run Google Ads to stay in business. It is effectively impossible to operate any business in the US without a Google presence.
Haha, sometimes I know about them before the product owner because I've bothered to read the standard and legal requirements around what we're trying to implement...
ETF doesn't have to mean basket of shares though, there are already bond, short, mortgage, and all manner of ETFs. In theory I don't think anything stops a VC from investing in Digital Ocean's series whatever, and then launching an ETF derivative. I mean, maybe the series' terms, but probably mostly the lack of incentive.

In the UK (at least) there are venture capital trusts (VCTs) which give exchange traded access to 'venture-stage' private companies, but that's still a (small) basket of someone else's choosing rather than your own ideas and DD.

Basically I agree, I'd like it too. (I'd have had Stripe and Cloudflare (now $NET) some time ago for sure.) I'm just trying to think through how it could work, what it might look like. Crowdfunding rounds are obviously closest, but it's rare, at the companies' discretion even more than the decision to raise, and even says something about the sort of company it is.
I think this is kind of missing the "if it's inadequate" clause of the heuristic. In your example, the painful boots were clearly inadequate, and by the heuristic, it was time to upgrade to the best equipment you could afford ;)

Skiing does make for some examples of a couple weaknesses in the heuristic, though:

First the "best equipment you can afford" part is pretty poorly defined. Suitability of ski equipment is contingent on the skill of the skier and the type of skiing, so you can't just pick the most expensive thing and expect it to be the best for you. Skis are especially nasty in this regard in that the most expensive equipment often makes performance trade-offs that are actively hostile to beginners or use in the wrong conditions.

Additionally, ski equipment is consumable (at least in the hands of an aggressive skiier), which largely invalidates the cost-optimization rationale of the heuristic.

Skiing probably wants a somewhat modified heuristic, along the lines of "Start with the cheapest tool, use it until it wears our or you find an intolerable problem, and then choose a replacement that solves the problems with the previous iteration."

The 'hard costs' were the training time for each model ($125) and conducting inference on the valid set ($15) for each.

Now, we had a few failed experiments like trying to run the COCO dataset through each tool. And none of this includes the implicit cost of the computer vision engineering time.

> Salaries are extremely compressed compared to the US.

That's because in Europe social welfare contributions are usually deducted from your salary automatically, thereby making it lower. Which, however, doesn't necessarily mean you're getting less.

> Even education - there's no Ivy League of Europe, there's no Stanford. There are some schools that may be considered good, but elite - not really.

Elite on what scale? I've had the pleasure to see what [math/physics] research at various universities in the US and in Europe looks like and I don't think there is any difference in quality. How would there be one? I think I remember reading somewhere that about 50% of STEM professors in the US are from outside the US.

Besides, the Ivy League-related elitism in the US to a large degree comes from the marketing that those schools (need to) do. They are private institutions after all – in contrast to most European universities –, so they need to maintain that myth.
Yea it does.

To be honest, this seems like a decent check for banks to make. Based on my experience with users and the emails attached to their accounts, not all of them have an attachment to an email address that you or I might have (I haven't switched addresses in decades.) They also somehow frequently lose access to inboxes.

> Picture a few large cities with contractors running around every roof tending to solar panels and compare to a few experts at a single nuclear power plant. For the contractors-on-roofs, the slip & falls add up even though they'll never get an HBO mini-series.

This is a very flawed and short-sighted argument. Averages don't matter when you are talking about fat-tailed/power law risk distributions.
Nobody would be opposed to PVs on roofs in their neighborhood b/c some construction workers fall to death every year - this risk is well calculable.
But (almost) everyone would be opposed to a fission plant or nuclear waste facility next door - and rightfully so.

Without enormous direct and indirect subsidies, nuclear (fission) isnt commercially viable anywhere in the world. Heck, you still can't insure a fission plant.

Yes, in theory fission would have been the best option for carbon-free energy. No, in practice humanity never figured out how to safely and efficiently use this power source and now renewables are a way safer and cheaper bet. You won't find any objective economic analysis (that incorporates such indirect subsidies as the implicit state guarantee and realistic building and waste handling/storing costs) that can show otherwise.
Unfair Tweet.

Google calendar is automatically adding Google Meet links to ALL meetings not just when there is zoom link present.

I have one of those too.. but only used cash with it. I have heard that if you use that and a CC or debit card they link the data - even if just once - and can link the past data as well.
I also have my wifi turned on my phone so they can't correlate the 'burner card' with that.. if I don't have cash I use a different discount card.

Of course if they scan the face and correlate that way - meh. For that reason I only use cash at Target - but not sure how long that will be enough to keep from data points being put together there or anywhere at this rate.
That is what worries me too. Not so much the current state of affairs, in which maybe several thousand to tens of thousands units driving around. But as the production scale goes up, so do the chances of hitting those unforeseen (or willfully accepted as "cheaper" to mitigate with financial compensations, because that is how the industry functions) corner cases where things will go wrong.

> How ironic that you're calling me entitled, and then in the same breath you tell me that my freedom of movement must abide by your personal opinions regarding freedom.

If not letting certain people into my country, to use my resources, is telling you that you must abide by my "personal opinions regarding freedom", then guilty as charged. Until we receive passport protocols from on high, that's what we're stuck with.

It's incredibly entitled to say "gee I feel like living in _____, they must let me do as I please." It's not entitled to say "lol no."
Making complicates shapes these sizes is very very hard. And the fact that it's a one-off project for now makes it so much more expensive and hard. From my understanding somewhere some factory would have to dedicate a whole production line just to this one device.
If getting it takes connections or prestige, then yes.

If any entity with a plausible use case could and still can get that data at the cost of the copy, I don't see why not. The whole "copying does not deprive the original owner" meme applies particularly to such public assets.

We dedicated some official company time and they did a fantastic job of learning it quickly, adding tests, making it more stable, accessible, and backwards-compatible.

I've been meaning to try M-DISCs [0] after I found out that my BD drive supports burning them. Apparently, they last longer than normal discs because the drives burn "a permanent hole in the material, rather than changing the color of a dye".

Hydro's main problem is that it's just not available in most countries / areas.

Solar's main problem is that it's not reliable everywhere. Try setting up solar in Chengdu and you'll find that there's just not enough cloud free days in the year to make it worthwhile.

We need baseline power and renewables are not usually enough. If you're lucky enough to have a river or sunny climate then great, but that's not possible in some places.

Ditto. This is my go-to fish sauce. That said, it should be used as a dipping sauce and not for cooking. There are cheaper fish sauce for cooking from Vietnam or Thailand. Just make sure there are only three ingredients used to make the sauce: anchovies, salt, and water. An easy way to tell if a fish sauce is of decent quality is by looking for the degrees number on the front and these three ingredients on the back.

It's the website mentioned by conradfr. It is basically the French equivalent of Brazzers.

We talk about the history of the stack during my job interview. From my understanding the two founders of the website started by just hiring freelancers on short contracts to update/fix a growing PHP/MySQL codebase. When their business started to become profitable, they hired full time devs, and gave them carte blanche. (the two original founders have no clue about tech) The team just rewrote the whole thing in Django.

Complete strawman, since you don't have an actual leg to stand on in defending this administration. Never did I say (nor would I) that Trump's "bad manners" had any affect.
This would almost certainly raise prices across the board, which would end up hurting poor people.

Price targeting can be (and often is) a useful and mutually beneficial practice. Obviously it can be taken too far as we're seeing here. I think enforcing privacy rights of consumers would be a better legislative goal than uniform pricing.

Even accepting your figure of a 1 in 400 chance, it is still foolish to needlessly take on that risk. You can't complain about the innumeracy of the population when they overestimate, while taking advantage of 0.24% seeming like some infinitesimally small number for the same reason.

Ultimately you're getting downvoted because you're pushing politically-filtered numbers with copious hand waving. That whitepaper seems tailor made for business owners pushing their employees back into the office. These downplaying narratives are responsible for our current approach of doing nothing but watching the economy crumble, and it's not surprising that most people have grown tired of them.

Most developed countries have gotten this under control. The US has chosen not to. Until the virus is contained, the economy we knew is dead in the water. This is only hard to understand if you deny that there is any problem whatsoever, as most of our "leadership" has been doing from day one.
There is no supply chain for a lot of the parts in these projects. Even for a board that doesn't require a custom chip (You can buy some ridiculous high-spec chips off the shelf these days), the silicon will be expensive, the PCB will have to be made to a very high tolerance etc. To top it all off you may require engineers who are not only experts in their own field but also require some in depth knowledge of aspects of theoretical physics (i.e. If you are looking for new particles your usual rules of thumb may not work) which for the most part engineers don't go anywhere near in their normal education.

On top of all the custom hardware you have to be able to set up the infrastructure to use your shiny new hardware, places for staff to work and then land to put it all on (And this is on top of the cost of actually building the main experiment).

In short, everything involved in experimental science is expensive.

It's a crisis because it is happening abruptly. The price for hydrocarbons will rise much slower, like the increased consumption of the growing population of the world. Meanwhile, more renewable energy will be installed.

There will be energy in the future, even if there is not the abundance of nuclear fusion. So I don't see why there is a looming crisis.
I’m aged 31, and completely relate. I think it really started with my current role but I haven’t been able to pinpoint when exactly, having been here just shy of 2.5 years now. I’ve lost count of the Sunday nights I’ve had filled with dread for the week ahead, or feeling a failure for not completing work quickly enough. Current COVID situation hasn’t made things any easier really. I often fantasise about leaving tech altogether, I feel like I’m slowly losing the mental energy needed to keep going day by day. Unfortunately, this is the only area in skilled in and with a partner to support I feel I need to think very carefully even though I’d like nothing more than to just resign tomorrow.

Echoing what others have said, I have found exercise helpful at times to quiet feelings of anxiety and stress, but I do still feel things lingering at the back of my mind at the beat of times.
Targeted advertisements like the ones built into Firefox's new tab page are the exact kind of thing that privacy-conscious people like to block. When I recommend Firefox to a less-technical friend or relative and suggest that they use uBlock Origin or another powerful ad and tracking blocker, it's awfully ironic that the default new tab page is full of targeted advertisements. It's purely perception, of course, but it's the kind of thing that almost certainly isn't helping Firefox compete against Chrome.
"Just try it" is interesting and can be fun. But it is a messy path to truth, because we humans are inherently terrible data collection machines. Likely the OP recognizes this and was looking for more objective data.
>The most fragile part of the system is probably the pump.

Most submersible clean-water pumps don't require lubrication and have very little wear as they use fluid bearings. They usually last at least 8-10 years without any maintenance as long as you follow the specs - avoid running dry, starting/stopping too frequently, particles that are too large etc.
Close experience. Apart from I was working for a shady porno dating website and where I was the sole sysadmin on-call 24/7. The "Oh wow, I get to look at genitalia at work" novelty wears off pretty quick. Especially to when you have to wake up at 4am to diagnose why some guy can't get off.

The company scammed and logged and sold the data as much as possible. The models were barely legal and a few looked like they were held at gun point. Lasted eight months up until I started getting nightmares and then the company went bankrupt. After receiving the first ever lawsuit in the UK for fake dating.
This guidance is what I like to think of as something to help shape ones mindset rather than a golden law. It can help you make a choice for lack of better information. But there maybe better ways to make a choice if you have better information.

Also I notice a number of people seem to be mistaking the article as saying buying the "Best". But it's actually best you can afford, which puts a lot of people in the midrange. The word "afford" gives you a lot of wiggle room about what that exactly means for you.

The other thing I think is important that many people are bringing up is for domain X then the cheapest you will fail or have a hard time (ie, they have better information). But the guidance ISN'T that buying the cheapest will work out fine for you, it is directly saying it may not work out at all, so, you should fail quick on "tools" that are not working out or are problematic. So it's trying to help you converge on a solution for lack of better information. Because there is plenty of domain Ys where the cheapest will work out fine for the limited use you have.

Is it hard to get access?
All right, let me put it this way. Provo isn't just a suburb of Salt Lake. Provo has its own suburbs (most of Utah County). Claremont doesn't. (I don't know about Elgin.)

Colorado Springs does. It has a much more independent existence. It's across the Palmer Divide from Denver. It probably depends on the Air Force at least as much as it depends on Denver. In the same way, Provo probably depends on BYU as much as it depends on Salt Lake. (Whereas Elgin and Claremont are much more tied in to Chicago and LA, respectively.)

How many residents of Elgin work in Elgin? I suspect the fraction is much higher in Provo (and Colorado Springs).
