Corporate data miners care if you reuse someone else's registered phone number.

The cashier doesn't. Their incentive is to keep the checkout line moving. Sometimes they will even offer you a card at the register to get you a discount (not sure why).

The manager's incentive is to keep customers content and returning.

BTW, what is the significance of that specific phone number?
It can when there are multiple threads.
Happens to me a lot too, but there is nothing remotely Italian ... or Dutch about me. I think they use it as a term of endearment to talented colleagues?
lol, out here in los angeles, they've been remodeling targets to look like walmarts - like using polished concrete floors and skinnier, cheaper looking checkout stands with flimsy conveyer belts. The most irritating thing was when they replaced the target cafe with.. nothing. Some stores have a starbucks, others have.. nothing.

Oh yeah, and Target pharmacy was sweet. CVS pharmacy inside target isn't as good.

That said, they are still somewhat faster and have way better hours. The walmart where I live is only open until 10pm and it has 10+ minute checkout lines. The target is open until midnight.

OTOH, online ordering: Walmart is often better than amazon. Target's online ordering sucks.

>Maybe dynamically rewriting the email to point to the proxied resources?

AFAIK gmail already does that. It prevents people from knowing your IP address, but they still know whether you opened the email or not, since it's lazy loaded. Preferably there's a email service that always loads the images and stores it, so you can view images without any spying.

Yes and No. Yes, you reach out to people that are not in your network, and that have never met you. No, it helps if you connect with a message tailored to that person that makes the connection of where your professional interests overlap.

There's a mythical man month issue in that even with unlimited budget and resources progress can only proceed so fast, even with the best people to learn from the experiments.

However there's also just the actual literal cost of RnD. There's no hard cost in budget either.

It's more like an apples to oranges comparison, but look at the progress that SpaceX has made in commercial space flight, and that's AFTER we've established that it's possible with all of the path-finding missions in the half century prior.

Fundamental research is an investment in the future. Aside from ensuring that the basic levels of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (1) are met, funding research that expands the public infrastructure and public domain of knowledge of how the world works, and third designs for common industrial infrastructure, such as power generation.

Commercial fusion would be either much closer to reality or known to be infeasible with current technology if research were funded both adequately and predictably (so people could make careers and lives in that).

It looks to me as though deaths in the US have been in an up trend since about July 1st (daily rate +70%), and globally since June 1st (daily rate +25%).

But the same thing is just not happening everywhere. People don't seem to accept that. You average in declining cases and deaths in NY, say, and it obscures what's happening in Texas. Same on an international scale.

From their source, the HUD Exchange, I found a more recent report.

> On a single night in 2019, roughly 568,000 people were experiencing homelessness in the United States.

> Nearly two-thirds (63%) were staying in sheltered locations—emergency shelters or transitional housing programs—and more than one-third (37%) were in unsheltered locations such as on the street, in abandoned buildings, or in other places not suitable for human habitation.

---

Personally, having lived among the homeless in the U.S. (for a period of a few long years in my youth), half a million seem like a low estimate.

There are systemic, structural, and political/cultural reasons for the plight of the homeless, and much of their unnecessary suffering (their treatment by police, lack of healthcare, to count a couple aspects in addition to lack of affordable housing).

Sometimes. I sought out counseling, it really does make a difference. And if you don't feel like you can, presently, discuss these feelings with your husband or other close family/friends, a counselor is a good option. Or a priest if you're religious.

An important thing to face is that anxiety, severe anxiety especially, has a tendency to spiral. You feel stressed and your thoughts get dark ("I'm not good enough." "They all know I'm a fraud."). These thoughts increase your stress and the rate of such thoughts. You also tend to find yourself procrastinating or otherwise underperforming compared to your previous levels which again increases the stress and thoughts and leads to further, potential, drops in performance.

You have to break the cycle. Knowing that you're experiencing anxiety is incredibly important to accomplishing that. The next step is to seek help or, and this can be very hard to do, break that cycle yourself. You're already taking a break from work. Seek out a therapist or counselor, and just vent. Discuss what you're feeling. A good one will not prescribe anything unless it's actually needed (none of mine have ever even brought it up, as we found CBT and other approaches worked for me).

Also consider discussing with your boss ways to lighten your workload. I have had bosses do that for me in the past. Usually a month or so with fewer things on my plate, an ability to focus on the high priority things, was enough to reset myself. A lot of anxiety from work (for me) is caused by having too much to do, and feeling like nothing is getting done (too much multitasking, what should be 1 week tasks take 1-2 months because I'm not able to dedicate a solid week to them, things of that sort).
supposedly the 10nm problems were related to the quad-patterning that Intel was using to reduce cost until EUV became more economical. But now the EUV-based 7nm is apparently having problems too.

It's certainly possible that EUV fixes everything and 7nm is a relatively smooth node, maybe this is just the one oops and it's all smooth sailing from here, but I don't think anyone really believes that. Everyone is worried it's going to be 10nm all over again where the schedule slides 4 years in 4 years, 6 months at a time.

Everything I've heard from Intel engineers is that they have a culture problem. It's a high-stress, low-empowerment environment with overbearing, micromanaging bosses and over the last ten years as AMD faded out the beancounters overtook the engineers and started making decisions that hurt the product. The middle managers and beancounters are in control and mostly concerned with (respectively) cover-your-ass and rent extraction than engineering the next generation of a great product. A quote from someone else was that he guessed they needed to cut away "the top 3 layers" to get the rot.

Unfortunately, rototilling the staff to cut away the rot will probably produce even more delays in the short term. Institutional knowledge gets lost, people start to look for other job opportunities, etc. Intel is in deep shit.

I don't even know what the short-term fix would be. The designs are tied to the process, the process is fucked because the approaches they're using are fucked and don't work, and they aren't going to repeal the laws of physics in the next 2 years. I guess you produce it even if it's not what the profit you normally expect, just to try and maintain marketshare?

Middle term they need to find a Jensen Huang or a Lisa Su. An engineer-CEO who understands the tech intimately and the tradeoffs being made, and where the market is going.

Comedy option, merge with NVIDIA, and make Jensen the CEO. AMD wanted to do it back in the day, AMD's board just couldn't find their way to "yes", which was a massive mistake (bulldozer probably would not have happened under Huang), led them to acquire ATI at a hugely overvalued price, and the resulting financial troubles caused them to lose their fabs. His work culture is also pretty toxic but they actually get shit done like few other companies. I'm really only half joking, but it'll never happen.

> The protesters were not attacked.

All of the protests started peacefully, including Portland. It was police violence that escalated things in the beginning. I recognize that they were not attacked _at that site_, but they were definitely attacked.

> They have a well established process of “peaceful” used as a shield for provocateurs

If you are breaking laws you will get hit with the laws. I'm not denying that. No one with their head on straight is calling violent protest peaceful.

In addition, there is evidence for PD's/alt-right inciting violence at protests to discredit them. I don't know if this is happening at Portland however.

> I have major issues with burning a courthouse ... the recourse of civilian peace.

The whole point of the protests is that this recourse has already failed.

> What we see is outright insurrection ... for an admitted imposition of communism.

While individuals may feel that way, I don't and I'm pretty sure most protesters don't. The fact that some of the leaders have talked about socialized health care

A) Doesn't mean that's the point of the protests.

B) Isn't communism.

Edit: I'm not looking for confrontation here, I'd really like to get a better understanding of the situation. Right now, it really does look to me like the protesters -- not rioters attacking private property -- are in the right.
Thanks for the description of their argument. They are different than private companies because government account is different than corporate accounting.

I think the issue I have is that this requirement is correcting a previous practice of not funding properly.

I don’t think it’s accurate to compare USPS vs private companies as they are very different. I think it’s more accurate to compare them to other federal agencies who all also have to prefund pensions, including medical pensions. Although federal agencies have reduced pension and medical in the past decades to reduce costs.
For cancer, your options are:

1. radiation

2. chemo

3. surgery

4. some combination of the above

All have their pluses and minuses. Sometimes people with terminal cancer opt for no treatment, as they'd rather enjoy a shorter time than have a painful longer time.

The notion there is no choice is simply incorrect.
>The WHO didn't praise the PRC because they believed in them, they did it because they needed the PRC's cooperation to have any information about what's happening in Wuhan.

In my personal belief, if the WHO had any intregity, they would have not played ball and warned every other country about what China is doing. They did the same exact thing back in 2002-2004 (per the article I sourced).
However, will it lead to a crisis? The hunger for new things simply dies down if they are not affordable. It's already happening. Energy is much more expensive than it used to be. Resources are more expensive so that new products have tighter margins and waste less materials.

People buy as much as they can. If they get less energy for their money, they buy less. Everybody had had-made clothes and ate organic food. Those times passed with hardly anybody complaining about receiving less.
It is hard for me to conceive of the steps required in these projects that add up to years - just in assembly.

Is it due to precision requirements being difficult to achieve? Supply chain delays for custom parts? Lots of experimental runs that require dis-assembly and tuning?
Hello fellow former PH dev. ;)
Footnotes are great! There's something wonderful about the affordance of a digressive paragraph at the foot of the page. I do not need to break the flow of reading, just flick my eyes down, read and return to the body text. What are terrible are endnotes, which force one to page or click back and forth. That action breaks flow.

I wonder if the issue is with how footnotes are displayed electronically? Perhaps a Sufficiently Smart E-Reader could display a footnote as long as its footnote marker, sentence, line or paragraph (would need research to see which is best, I think) is on-screen.

A lot of non-binary people I know have brought this issue up. Non-binary has become its own box in certain areas of society. Non-binary means being stereotypically androgynous, and androgyny means having no breasts, no beard, no make-up, and “boy” clothes.

In certain social circles, well intentioned people will assume that anyone who looks like a flat chested woman dressed in men’s clothes is non-binary. Meanwhile, they’ll assume that anyone who looks like a man wearing women’s clothes is a trans woman. In reality, the “man in a dress” could be non-binary and the flat chested woman could be a trans woman.

I don’t really have a proposed solution to this problem, I just think it’s interesting to note how gender roles can shift so much over time but in other ways remain so rigid.
The Case Against Agriculture
Hydroelectric projects also cause an increase in mercury levels specifically methylmercury. You'd think hydroelectric would be a safe method of generating power with flooding being the only bad effect. An Inuk guy in Labrador I follow on Twitter (@AndersenAngus) is trying to raise awareness about methylmercury due to flooding of land for hydroelectric dams.

Here is some info on it via the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences: https://www.seas.harvard.edu/news/2016/11/human-health-risks...

"Microbes convert naturally occurring mercury in soils into potent methylmercury when land is flooded, such as when dams are built for hydroelectric projects. The methylmercury moves into the water and animals, magnifying as it moves up the food chain. This makes the toxin especially dangerous for indigenous communities living near hydroelectric projects because they tend to have diets rich in local fish, birds and marine mammals such as seals. "

The hard thing to imagine is the in-between time. These two plots are so opposite one another that in the middle of switching between the two the patriarchy must’ve had a coup, or had a meeting where the head of the patriarchy laid down the law and everyone tied the line, or there was mass confusion. Did the old patriarchs get replaced by new patriarchs with a new plot? Did they purposefully change their plot and women currently are unwittingly playing their game? Did they just give in to the inevitable and then devise a new plot?
Phu Quoc is the most famous place in Vietnam that makes nuoc mam. The first press of aged nuoc mam is highly prized by connoisseurs, but almost impossible to use without first diluting it with water, as it is very salty and pungent. With the right ratio of water, lime juice, and sugar, nuoc mam is the perfect dipping sauce for much of Vietnamese cuisine. Knowing this, you'd be able to guess with good accuracy if a dish had Chinese origin, because the dish would be offered with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce instead.

P.S. Phu Quoc itself is a lovely place to enjoy the freshest seafood of all varieties on the cheap. Rent a motorbike and you would be able to see most of the island in just a few days.

> We need nuclear to meet baseload because the storage requirements (for PV particularly, by far the largest renewable) would be absurd without it.

The problem with statements like this is that when they're proven wrong (they aren't always, but when they are), it's often because of some massive underlying shift that makes a bunch of assumptions wrong, leading to a wrong prediction.

If we envision a system where not only delivery, but storage is centrally managed, then yes, there's a massive amount of energy storage required, and that's hard to justify and invest in for large companies.

If instead you assume that maybe electric cars will act like large battery reservoirs, and stuff like the powerwall will also be used to supplement it, then we end up with a massive amount of battery storage already distributed to different endpoints, an d paid for by individuals instead of a few massive companies.

Whether that's all that likely, or even possible at a huge scale because of required rare materials is a question, but that's an entirely different type of scenario than "energy companies invest in massive batteries to leverage solar/wind for efficiently", and the type of thing that's hard to predict and because of that often overlooked. That doesn't mean stuff like that doesn't happen all the time. In fact, I would say there's a major shift like that every decade or so, we just don't necessarily notice them unless we look at them.

The internet itself was a major thing. Just relating to the internet, there have been major advanced every few years. The rollout of new major advancements is unevenly distributed and often over the span of a decade, leading to it being hard to notice them. Just this last year, the massive increase in remote work will likely cause a major shift in the economics of many markets, and change how many predictions would play out.

Bringing this back to energy, consider that it seems like every year California is having massive fires, and is bankrupting its public utility provider to the point that the state is prepared to take it over if it gets much worse. At that point, if the state decides it needs to actually replace a lot of infrastructure that PG&E needs to maintain, maybe pushing for some partially distributed model starts to make sense.

These are all things that go into making predictions about energy really hard, since we're at an inflection point where a lot of stuff that used to work is not working very well, and new technologies are just at the cusp of being useful.
