> There is almost zero relationship between the benefits from fossil fuel use and the deaths from air pollution due to fossil fuels.

You don't actually get one without the other, and understanding the cost of the alternatives is how it is "put into perspective".

The bit about NYC was largely irrelevant, imho, to the rest of the discussion, given that the issue is far larger than one city's bad policies and lack of jurisdiction over cruise ships. Also, NYC isnt going to be going without construction vehicles anytime soon.
The claims of QAnon are a bit more ... ah ... extreme. Believing it requires ignorance of so many different areas that it's not in the same league.
They're not very skilled in a lot of games. They can be a threat to newbies, but they're easily fooled by experienced players, and can even be less accurate vs more advanced moves, involving motion.
Yes. I can't believe there are so few mentions of it here. "I never saved anything for the way back."
I prefer the version by Magnus Hovland Hoff [1], which makes the guessing explicit. There is a "Request Help" button that will let you reveal any square you want - but only if there is no other way to progress without guessing (otherwise you lose). This turns Minesweeper into a neat little puzzle game.

I don't understand why my comment got down voted. But yes, as one of you have pointed out, it's just my opinion. And I don't think the original draft of this law as much to do with giving your data to the govt, but more about Google/Fb being more transparent with the conditions under which, our data will be used by them. I'm not a legal expert and I may have misunderstood some of it. It's my opinion that big monopolies like Google, Facebook and Amazon should be regulated in some ways and be held accountable. I honestly don't have an answer to the question "What if govt loses your data"!

Is A/B testing focused on increasing the time people spend on YouTube or the actual benefits people get out of YouTube?

A/B testing tends not to produce the result you want when the metrics you are going for are harmful.

Offshoot. Are there any always solvable solitaire games out there? I couldn’t find one on the App Store last time I checked.
I read through some of the site. From what I can tell, this would using stenography works best for typing actual words. I wonder how hard it would be to configure the stenography software to be able to output strings that I actually type as a programmer, given that a nontrivial amount of them are made up on the spot.
It’s not just about capacity. It’s also about:

- using machines efficiently (in the sense that a central production facility means idle-capacity can be used elsewhere)

- replacing production efficiently, I.e. yolo build a potato-quality factory now so that it’s actually producing, then expand it to hyper efficient maxed productivity modules in all the machines between maxed speed beacons later (so your resources go further and you don’t need to spend as much time building remote bases), but do not interrupt production forever to rebuild everything during the transition.

Yolo-building with a high quality strategy to replace components is also a great strategy for startups. In either case the real limiting resource is manpower.

And I typically target about 8 belts of green circuits, to feed a nonstop-rocket shop (avoiding the major transition off belts altogether.) Get a balancer design off the Internet. It’s fine. :)
I left SF. I could afford living and buying in SF, the deal was just not worth it anymore. It was getting there before the pandemic. It just made it much worst much faster.

I'm not selling my decision. Be adults, make your own.
Here's a usecase:

Blockchain can be used to issue something like Apple stocks in a decentralized manner which achieves million times more scale and lower cost than what's possible now.

Obviously a centralized entity like New York Stock Exchange could also copy the technology of using Merkle hashes and possibly achieve much bigger scale, at the end of the day it would still be the coordination issue for a single organization.

At the end of the day blockchain solves the coordination problem in a low trust environment in a definitive manner. As it turns out that the cost required to solve this coordination problem is really high when you compare it to the high trust, but low scale environment. but blockchain manages to achieve planetary scale throughput (obviously not right now because this is the foundation layer, things need to be built up).

It's like cash versus Visa. Cash is possibly billion times more scalable than Visa because Visa needs to reconcile a single database but cash transactions do not, as long as the recipients locally verify that they're receiving a real bill.

> "farm to table isn't good for meat -aged meat is better."

"farm to table" does not mean the meat is not aged. It just means the restaurant buys directly from the farm. No good restaurant would ever serve you an un-aged steak.
I don't agree with all of what you're insinuating, but overall I think you're onto something. Even if some of these allegations have legs, it's sad that our politics mostly revolves around an endless search for the next something-"gate" instead of really discussing the issues. It's a form of deep anti-intellectualism.

IMHO both sides are guilty of this. Clinton, Bush II, Obama, and now Trump were all constantly hit by any allegation anyone could find to throw at them, and many of them were and are over-inflated or outright bullshit.

The campaign is the same. Trump spends more time shitting on other people and trolling on Twitter than talking about what he believes or wants to do, and Biden is basically running as "a dude who is not Donald Trump." Neither candidate is particularly exciting. I'll be once again voting for the least horrible of the two.

Nobody discusses the issues, and nobody ever tries to problem solve.

Personally I think it's a form of bikeshedding. People would rather sling mud than talk issues and problem solve because all the issues we face are really hard and there are huge vested interests who like the status quo and don't want anything "fixed."

Edit: feel like people are knee jerking to this. I am not necessarily claiming there isn't corruption, just that there is not enough focus on actual ideas and too much focus on personalities.
The square at coordinates x=3, y=0 counting from the top-left cannot hold a mine (the one next to the 2). Try to assume a mine is there and calculate where the other mines would have to be to satisfy the 2 and the 3 below. It's impossible, therefore that top-left square is safe and because you guessed when you didn't need to, you lost the game.

I agree that the game doesn't make it very clear why you lost.
I wonder how many people here remember Subtle Patterns. Eventually it was acquired by Toptal. Always interesting how times change.
> I now can’t sleep for more than 5 hours a night without waking up and not being able to go back to sleep for an hour or two.

Have you ruled out alcohol? I’ve heard drinking at night can cause that.
I've played factorio for years and more recently just focused mainly on speed runs for launching rocket. While there is some analogy between factory design and software design, I wouldn't read too much into it. The biggest lesson from either side is likely modular components that you can connect together quickly with automation tools to make it quick to build. If you incorporate anti bug (literal bugs in factorio) into your designs with automated repair then you almost never have to worry about bugs. Don't have lots of dependencies, build isolated services to focus on certain things. Have a high speed bus for different services to communicate over. Keep comms efficient and direct as possible. Build with scaling in mind. If you need something quick, build in an optimal way without considering scaling beyond your goal.

No, and not even close. Text cannot model many things. Try learning surgery using a textbook without pictures. Try driving a racecar competitively or learning a foreign language after only reading a book, even one with pictures.

Models of all kinds are always poor surrogates for reality, and models that cannot employ logic or causality CLEARLY cannot model a world in which mechanisms cause all change.

Statistical models can indeed describe many observations, but can never break out from the echo chamber of copy-catting patterns it has already seen. If a probabilistic engine like a deep net hasn’t been exposed to a concept during training, it will never induce its existence. Imagination requires initiative, the proposal of an unknown and unfamiliar outcome via logical inference or causal induction. Until deep nets can employ both of these skills, they will never master many skills humans use routinely to explain the world or extend our understanding of how it works.
Yep, between nights I use my computer late and those I don't, I see no difference on in sleep patterns or next day fatigue etc.

I think it's probably much more of an issue for people already susceptible to inspect insomnia or other sleep issues.
Great! Haven't been a big Typescript user myself but seeing a lot of interest in it for GAS projects so included support for it in this project, and included a sample Typescript demo component.
Chording like playing a chord in music aka playing multiple notes at the same time. Stenography involves pressing multiple keys at the same time to type entire words or syllables at a time.
> I miss the old Google search, the one that didn't try to guess what I mean, but instead did exactly what I said.

You and me both. I cannot stand the whole 'I know better than you, let's use these synonyms that don't exactly mean the same thing or are literally different from the exact phrase you're searching for'. I loathe that Google removed the ability to search for symbols, basically destroying it as a means to find certain kinds of research papers and expressions.

I would legitimately pay for a research-quality search engine similar to Google Search circa 2010ish, before the Panda or Penguins and the truly awful Hummingbird algorithms were enabled. (And no, Bing's not it - it's basically about as good as Yahoo Search ever was before it was just a frontend to Bing...)

My van had a back-end that was size approprate to fit a YETI brand cooler (Tundra 45) between the raised platform in the back of the van and the seat backs so I could get in and out of it easily while having it to write on or use my laptop computer on (it doubled as a desk when I felt like sitting indian style on the floor of my van). This was essential and I could rely on fresh fruit all the time kept in the back of my van along with well various other fresh produce.

You can still do this per-query by typing `-site:quora.com`.

I loved it until it got really hot. No air conditioning sucks. It does drain my desire to do anything, including work lol. I feel like just sitting in front of a fan with my mind totally blank. Or maybe going to the beach or something.

Other than that? No fucking contest! At home, I have a more comfortable desk and chair, and everything is setup exactly how I want it. I can play my favorite music on my speakers, meaning I don't have to wear headphones, and I don't have to hear all the chatter from people who work on crap I don't give 2 fucks about.

I suppose that last part is relevant only if you work at a company that does a lot more than just produce software. I work in an office with ~300 people, and only about 20 of us are programmers. It's 2 giant rooms, and we don't have enough meeting rooms, so I'm constantly hearing about shipping things, billing things, stuff that other people in the other engineering departments are concerned about, and so on.

At home? None of that. Oh that's so nice.

Plus I can live wherever, I don't have to deal with commuting, and the office isn't really in a particularly alluring location anyway.

I suppose it'd be different if I was a <15 minute walk away from a quiet office in a building with a sweet view, where awesome cheap food places are a short walk away from that.

That'd be legit. As it is, when I take a phone call I have to walk outside and usually my call is interrupted by someone driving by with no exhaust on their civic or something. Grr.
How many fiancés do you have? ;)
I was a huge proponent of not hosting monolithic applications on kubernetes, that was until the company I worked for acquired another same size company and I had to learn their hand rolled puppet2/shell script based infrastructure management/deployment logic all over again(we had our own hand rolled puppet3/shell script based infrastructure logic too, so that's two stacks with their own quirks.)

Now I'm completely in favor of hosting anything you can cram into kubernetes in kubernetes, even though kubernetes is more complex than most other infra tools, most of the time there is only one way to do things(configmaps for config, PV allocations for storage etc..) So if you understand kubernetes, it's easier to get the larger picture about the infrastructure even if you know nothing about the application stack.

Are there any chorded keyboards that have linux drivers (pref in tree) that don't cost a small fortune?
sounds like you've done research, so i'll jump on the tangent. i've always assumed formula by now is as good as milk from the tap, outside if the mom's antibodies being passed on. and my opinion is after going through digestion they help only a little.

is formula not as good? the wife and i don't have kids yet, but the plan was always to get on formula after like 3 months. simply because not doing that destroys the tits, and a wetnurse is just gross.

serious question, just being blunt.

edit: thanks everyone for your answers. the point about us not knowing everything about the milk is very valid. i do find we would have had ample scientific evidence by now of formula not having everything needed , since formula has been globally used for so long. as far as bad chemicals, we do have lab reports, which i actually use to find vitamin brands. wetnurse being gross is a stupid feeling i have, and maybe antibodies from a genetically dissimular host not being good for you -like attacking the baby's cells since they're foreign.
I was the same, but once I got used to it helps keep your hands almost always on the keyboard, I really love it now. Whenever I use a different laptop these days, I instinctively search for the trackpoint.
> food - most of what i saw was not good food. hipsterish overpriced food made by chefs trying to show off by putting a twist on dishes -not to be good, just to be different or weird. tiny portions, not tasting above average, on a huge plate. all presentation, not actual taste.

You probably selected places to eat by either marketing presentation or talking to novelty-seeking hipsters, and so found presentation-heavy novelty-focussed hipster food.

San Francisco has plenty of good food—and it's usually much cheaper than the food of the type you describe. Of course, if you live in a hipster bubble and don't communicate outside of it, and don't actively explore, you might have trouble finding the real gems.

> culture: there is no culture. culture was when i lived in versailles. sf is all snooty people with no content, trying to show off. culture is down to earth, with class.

There's plenty of culture in SF, but this also sounds like you spent your time in the same kind of hipster bubble your food impression reflects.
I totally agree, but I think you should be more explicit in pointing out that this is an experimental validation of folk knowledge, which is an important step. There are plenty of instances of folk knowledge being completely wrong (at least for the mean/median/common case), despite "nearly everyone" knowing it.
This is a great analogy, finally “clicked” for me after trying to understand this concept for a while. Thank you.

Google is the world's biggest advertising company. It makes its money by offering advertisers the highest return possible on their advertising dollars. Google is able to do that by predicting what you will click on before you click, and charging advertisers a premium to make sure the link that's underneath your mouse or your finger when you click is going to their product site.

How does Google know what you are likely to click on?

Yes, definitely. Any application that I can think of off the top of my head involves adding C code. This is not a hurdle, but would be for someone who is using Python to get into embedded programming at a beginner level. From the MicroPython documentation:

>>>Compiling the cmodule into MicroPython

>>>To build such a module, compile MicroPython (see getting started) with an extra make flag named USER_C_MODULES set to the directory containing all modules you want included (not to the module itself). For example: ...

This is not precisely for the faint of heart, but should not be prohibitive for a seasoned embedded developer. ;-)
I don't work at Youtube, but different teams probably optimize for different things. Time spent is really, really hard to change directly, so they probably focus on things like p(like), p(watch > X% of vid), p(watches another video).

Generally speaking there's no answer in principle to the question "is the time spent actually valuable". For the vast majority of people, time spent on Youtube cuts into time spent doing basically the same thing somewhere else. We're not all researching cures for AIDS or new sources of green energy. Most people just want to sit around being entertained.
I've always wanted to learn how to do this but I've also been curious how you can type special symbols like ones that are needed in code. I doubt a court stenographer is ever writing many curly braces or parentheses.
As I grow older I keep thinking I won't be surprised/amused/alarmed by further examples of broken human thinking but nope. It just keeps coming.

The idea that Donald J. Trump is a white knight in the fight against child exploitation must be doubly hurtful to his victims.

Re-watch some classic '80s movies. Notice how the way men and women relate is kind of stalkery by todays standards, even if you're not woke.

Consider: Trump was a coked-up party boy rich kid revered by the coked-up party boy rich kids in Manhattan during the '80s. Do you think they were checking drivers licenses as they were banging hookers and strippers? Even if he didn't actually seek it out (a charitable assumption), it's very likely he's had sex with underage women.

Never mind the rape allegations, never mind the comments, the behaviour, the obvious personality / mental defects. Nope he's our ally in protecting underage women. Madness.

Litmus test: your 22 year old intelligent attractive daughter wants to be a staffer in a presidential campaign. You say avoid Bill Clinton, but hey Trump's a really good guy. Feel free to go on an overnight with him.
This jumps it to the top of my list of tech to explore on microcontrollers.

> It certainly warrants a test to document what the function is for.

You might be being serious, so I'll indulge. How would a test that will never break, for a function that would never be changed (because look at it), that lives in a different part of the directory structure, be worth even one second extra time or thought to write it, over-and-above the descriptive comment that is longer than the code itself, and lives discoverably right next to the code itself?
That's sort of what I was thinking. Seems easier to coordinate a HVDC interties than a synchronous grid. I also keep coming back to the thought that long east west and north south interties would be beneficial when you have large percentages of solar and wind.
The problem is that people who are sleep-deprived tend to believe they are "thriving" (or at least "feeling fine") when they are very much not.

Mitsubishi, of course, also made a famous long-range fighter. Per Chuck Hawks:

> Not only could the Zero out fight any Allied fighter, it also out-ranged them. Many people do not realize that the Zero was the world's first long range escort fighter. Zeros flew long range bomber escort missions during the war in China, before the Pacific war even began. If the Germans had the long range A6M2 Zero instead of the short range Bf 109E, the outcome of the Battle of Britain might have been very different.

For comparison: When I was apartment shopping in late February and early march in northern Virginia (limited to walking distance to the office and nice restaurants) One place I looked at was a luxury 1BR at $2k + 1 month concession, I went with a cheaper "studio" in the same building though (the 1BR had carpet and the studio had hardwood floor and wasn't much smaller.)
