Yeah, they obviously have different interview styles, but a lot of the difference can be explained by the mediums, and their respective backgrounds. Personally I appreciate them both, but I can respect that you wouldn't find his style enjoyable.

However, I'll defend Rose, in that he always picked interesting guests, and did good prep work. It's true that he steered the conversation in the direction he wanted it to go. But, of course, he had 60 minutes, and was recording for a broad television audience. The constraints were/are very different from Tyler's, personality differences notwithstanding.

If you listen to the interviews where he gets to break out of the normal 60 minute boundaries, I think you'll find his style shifts with the medium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOUzTd-Ge_g

I've never heard of Gary Vee. However, based on a cursory search, I don't think a hyperbolic comparison helps your argument! :)

You guys are kind of getting beat up with the votes, but if it makes you feel better, I too find OP’s use cases pretty unusual and over the top. I always thought the FindMy and location sharing features were meant to be for emergencies. This regularly occurring, casual tracking of an adult partner’s precise GPS location seems pretty creepy to me, too.

That would be a good point if Twitter/Facebook had once quarantined so-called misinformation about Trump. As far as I know, that has never happened. Not a single time.

It seems fairly obvious to anyone paying attention that their actions were politically-motivated and have been for quite some time.
I think that would be an good response
True, but also note that a 52b mode (i.e. 12 bit tag) is also supported.

I can't imagine anyone needing more than 4PB in the next 30 years, and the security gains now is (in my opinion) worth the potential refactoring in 30+ years that would be required.
Yes - but that's not interdisciplinary in the way you think it is. Designing a new enzyme at the molecular level is basically still not a thing that humans have figured out how to do. Her approach was revolutionary in the same way that the invention of a telescope was revolutionary to physics. You could try and say it was some grand synthesis of optics and astronomy, but that's a hell of a stretch, they're both physics. Evolution is just biology, and directed evolution is bioengineering. If you wanted to claim that Arnold invented modern bioengineering and laid the framework for synthetic biology, I could buy that. Just like the telescope laid the foundation for modern astronomy. But saying it's a perspective from an unrelated field doesn't make sense when it's one of the foundational defining cornerstones of this field.
Ha, I'm just back from a walk down the street where a thought popped into mind, upon seeing a group of people, how 'easy' it would be to drop a load of simple flechettes from a drone and cause havoc all for an impressively low amount of money. No complicated to make/source explosives or poisons or chemicals - just a quadcopter and some bits of metal.

I have a lot of such happy thoughts.
I did as well, and actually came here to see if anyone else had commented on that.

This doesn't apply to a large amount of farming today, much of the issues with erosion have been solved by reducing tillage and other improved practices like contour farming, adding waterways, cover crops etc. None of this is related to fertilizers and their usage.

Also if you want to get the most out of your fertilizer you will automatically be trying to reduce erosion. No one wants to put investment into soil that is going to disappear or be lost.

There is also an increasing amount of regulation around controlling runoff of fertilizers in order to control water quality in lakes, rivers etc. Follow what is happening in Ohio and Lake Erie for example.
But what about heat?

At one level down, this is a fundamental problem with Capitalism itself.

It expects companies to grow forever, and thus they have to come up with ways to reduce the working life of stuff they make.

Imagine if we made furniture with mostly good, strong metal. They would last lifetimes, but Ikea, as a company would probably stagnate after a while.

I shop a lot at Ikea too, but usually take care to purchase their stuff that's made with metal. They make a lot of those and those are very durable, if not a bit costly (in India)
Interesting, and while I sense that you have legitimate experience and insight, I cannot help but feel this contradicts the reality that I see:

Many startups originate in the U.S. and while many fail, some either become profitable or are acquired. Why would another entity acquire if the future burden/liability you describe truly exists?
Litter robot 3 owner here... take note, the company's tech support ain't at all as it should be. My partner got the device, I'm responsible for its running.

Had issues and tried to interface with their tech support. Unless you email with the person's email that bought it - nothing. Then when you email them with that person's email - nothing.

There are a number of systemic issues that I think can be fixed either in firmware (which I guess they don't believe in updating) and/or a hardware upgrade kit (which I'm willing to buy - if I felt that they understood the issues.)

In this day and age, not allowing easy community access to root out issues is just not excusable. They need to spend more on updating their site for honest feedback and less on the advertising that they have been up to of late.

All of the extensions I use are open source (not that that counts for a lot, but I still tend to take a look at the repository before I install them).
It’s highly unlikely that they would get their money back if they lived in the west either. Most victims of crypto currency fraud are not made whole.

Genuinely not sure why people keep falling for this though.
So why do they take the candidate off the campaign trail?

They’re not calling this one fake news. Even Twitter is not saying it was faked but rather that the data was illicitly obtained.

Speaking of Russian agents wasn’t it the Dems who pedaled the now discredited Steel Dossier?

Using “Russia” as an adjective right now has limited value and if anything should be viewed with suspicion of purposeful “redirection”. It’s not a believable accusation any more.
I am a big Tyler Cowen fan and like his choices for guest but it is almost on listenable to me. He prepares his exact questions beforehand and tends to stick to them instead of having a conversation. It makes his delivery wooden and the interview boring.
The search for truth should not be dependent on vague "indicators." If it's fabricated, prove it, then sue the NY Post and Murdoch for libel.

I hope one day soon we can use a SpaceX Starship super heavy to accelerate a probe at much higher velocities. The only thing is, unlike rockets, there is little incentive for private companies to invest in producing better, cheaper space probes.
How well would this scale in areas where most of our intensive agriculture is now, e.g. Kansas, Nebraska? We have a ton of farming like this guy is doing around where I live but we have lots of rain and pretty good soil to beging with.
If you define a "program" as "a series of instructions to perform a task, where the instruction set is Turing Complete", then your statement is tautologically correct based on your definition. A much more general definition is simply "a series of instructions to perform a task". Do you feel that the former definition of the word "program" is the only one worth using?

As an example: if you use a Game Maker application to construct a video game where your inputs are the graphics, the level design, and some basic scripting to connect them up, is the resulting output "not a program" because the input scheme that you used in order to define its behavior was not Turing Complete? You could make an argument that, in the context of Quines, this isn't relevant because the Program is not outputting its own source code but only the top-most layer of its definition, but then again that's true at some level for any Quine not written in machine code (and even then it'd probably be missing much of the OS / display drivers / etc.).

Edit: removed an example about "programmable TV remotes" because it wasn't a very good example, and added a note about Quines.
One simple fact destroys the whole "Russia disinfo" nonsense: Hunter Biden's lawyer requested the laptop/disk drives back. If it weren't Biden's, why would he do that?
Don't forget to factor ethanol production in as well. In many places it is providing huge incentives for massive corn yields and production.
Arguably, the most characteristic feature of XSLT is that it uses XML for serializing code text itself. As such, one can expect most benefit from XSLT which uses lots of literal XML content embedded into XSLT. But that can be had with any general-purpose language having XML literals as well (such as JSX or old E4X). Other than that, XSLT still remains a competent markup processor, and XSLT 1.0 (but no later version) is indeed highly portable.

Since DSSSL (precursor of XSLT) is based on Scheme, I've always wondered if some HNers will pick-up OpenJade as its reference implementation.
My Attempts to Automate Content Writing
What setting though? IKEA should specify the torque setting in N-m for each screw and the torque limiter should have settings in the same units.

Much like electrical circuits, it's not really that useful to have a limiter when you don't know what to limit it to.

Agreed. Those little Lack tables are sturdy enough that they're often used as a cheap rack mounts by guitarists. Iirc they're almost perfectly a 1U width and depth, for anyone looking into a home lab. Add a couple of corner brackets and a layer of sealer and they'll take an outrageous beating.

That said, a benefit to the lack(heh) of quality is how light everything is. I do a lot of projects that require using my entire living space. If it wasn't so easy to just shove the furniture out of the way, I'd have that much more inertia between me and doing what I want.
You're welcome to ad hominem attack the DNI all you'd like, but that doesn't change what he said.

Do you have any evidence to support the evidence being fabricated?

Do you have any evidence to show where the previously non-public images (like Hunter asleep with a crack pipe next to him) published by the Post came from, if not the hard drive of said laptop?
Yes, but it's often less resilient to variations in weather than other crops that are native in the region. So it's great until you get a drought and then you end up with a famine.
To be pedantic, we can define a non-Turing-complete subset of a Turing machine's instruction set, and pass combinations of these instructions to the machine, and that could still be called a program.
it doesn't, unless there's a hole in the browser. which in this case, there was.
There's more information about the company name than there is showing whatever game is available. Should be the reverse.

If you have a member in your team who's offended because of "guys" in "hey guys", then you need to question your hiring process, not the team dynamics.

I found that the fact these people get offended by such issues says more about themselves than the fact "guys" is sexist in some way.
I bought a metal bed frame from IKEA 10 years ago, it has been with me trough seven moves across North America. Works has new and only needs 8 screws.
If you are interested in something similar that focuses more on engineering and science and goes far more in depth then I highly suggest Omega Tau (http://omegataupodcast.net/category/podcast-en/) by far the best podcast I have ever found.
There's still a fair bit of labor, but most of that now takes the form of repair and maintenance work on machines.
in case I wasn't clear, I would be thrilled if this bill passed. my point was that short-sighted political tribalism has led politicians to back themselves into corners now that will prevent it, unless the press and public are just too stupid to recognize the contradictions before it does pass.
>Food is, as a percentage of people's budgets, cheaper than it has ever been

This is a good thing. Let's not screw it up, but rather improve on it.

Who is going to do the work? We already struggle filling these jobs. Those jobs that are filled are unsafe and low-paying.
I'd love to see an estimation of how expensive such a project would be/how long it would take to overtake the Voyagers distance wise.
The claim was:

> app stores cannot compete with the Play Store on feature parity

The response was:

> that is not true at all

There are plenty of follow up remarks that then clarify that it is infact true in some cases (e.g. F-Droid today) and not true in others (e.g. Samsung store today).

One of the claims made is that it's a security issue to allow alternative stores to silently replace software on your phone (also known as auto updates), and also that this feature is coming in Android 12.

It sounds like Android 11 does not allow a fair level playing field (for what may be justifiable security concerns), and Android 12 throws those security concerns out of the window.

Can someone with knowledge on the subject help clarify?

Good to know; I'm honestly a little out of my element with GPUs because it's been a while since I've even thought much of them (I don't do much gaming and don't do many GPU-based workloads... the built in GPU is always fine for me!).

For the NIC, it's cool to see we'd be able to get two or maybe three gigabit interfaces on the same Pi, could be interesting for a variety of different networking devices, coupled with the faster SoC in the Pi 4.
Not sure about books, but the NTSB generally seems to adopt the philosophy of not trying to assign blame, but instead to figure out what happened, and try to determine what can be changed to prevent this same issue from happening again.

Of course trying to assign blame is human nature, so the reports are not always completely neutral. When I read the actual NTSB report for Sullenburger's "Miracle on the Hudson", I was forced to conclude that while there were some things that the pilots could in theory have done better, given the pilots training and documented procedures, they honestly did better than could reasonably be expected. I am nearly certain that some of the wording in the report was carefully chosen to lead one to this conclusion, despite still pointing out the places where the pilots actions were suboptimal (and thus appearing facially neutral).

The "what can we do to avoid this ever happing again?" attitude applies to real air transit accident reports. Sadly many general aviation accident reports really do just become "pilot error".
Exactly.

Cheater of real rank R would set target rank R' = R+delta.

Once officially at R', set R'' = R'+delta. And so on by modest increments.
At least half of the Ghanaian taxis we rode in had re-wired the horn to the high-beam stalk-pull. That way, one need not take hands off the wheel to actuate the horn (and I suspect the steering-wheel-center horn switch had broken).
This is likely misleading for two reasons: about half of Americans say they are trying to lose weight[1], and roughly 90% of people who lose a lot of weight eventually regain just about all of it[2].

So even if there is a mechanism that makes diet sodas counterproductive for weight loss, it's clearly part of a much broader problem. There are also possibly confounding factors, e.g. people most serious about their health and weight loss may have already determined that diet sodas are not good for them.

>The last few times I listened to NPR they seemed to be pretty deep into the horse race style reporting, distracted "Breaking News!"-style reporting, and lots of speculation. Print media as well.

As a dedicated listener to NPR, here's my advice:

- The 6 minutes of headline news at the top of every hour covers all you might need to know.

- The more reporting-style programs (All Things Considered, Morning Edition) often have good interviews with figures directly involved in the news. Of course, these are only worthwhile if the person hasn't already been on a national platform. Politicians and lawyers will just pretend to answer questions as they read prepared statements.

- Everything else is entertainment.

I like it, but I'm not deluded enough to look down on anyone (e.g. my wife) who finds it boring.

Ikea said that anything that cannot be resold will be recycled.

Is that even technically possible? 'Most of it', perhaps, though for some of the materials they use I'd really like to see the technical side of how they o it, but 'anything' seems far fetched.

This move is primarily meant to counter people throwing away furniture prematurely when moving

Yes, I'm not denying that. This is what they are doing, but at the same time they are saying hopes that the initiative will help its customers take a stand against excessive consumption. My point being: where is the link between those 2?

So just to be clear: I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, probably leaning towards good, but with a bunch of considerations in mind: selling their things second hand or even giving away is what people also have been doing already. In case of selling they get back money, with IKEA they'll get back vouchers, limited to 50%. Imo it adds to the idea that recycling is good. It is, but only if there really is recycling (for some products it's a complete myth pushed by the industry) and even then, not having to recycle in the first place is better. From the article: should then return them - fully assembled - to the returns desk - this sounds like they're expecting people to transport complete things (or disassmble/reassemble on the spot). That's kind of a showstopper.

This seems like it would be better for the environment than everybody logging around heavy furniture cross-country (or cross-continent), because unnecessary transport costs are avoided

This is tricky. Current system: buy X, transport X home, transport X to landfill. Or with second hand: buy X, transport X home, transport X to new home. New system: buy X, transport X home, transport X back to IKEA, transport X to new home or landfill. So there are a lot of variables to consider here so I wouldn't be suprised if ot turns out to be sometimes better and sometimes worse, i.e. really hard to use it in an argument of it being better overall.

good luck convincing people not to use a bed, a desk or a dining room table.

To state the obvious: that is not at all what this is about and as far as I can tell I also never gave that impression in my comment. It's about teaching people about the value of durability, i.e. convincing people they do not have to buy a new bed or desk every x years. Now how do you achive that? I honestly don't know for sure. But seeing that previous generations had no (or much less) problems with that, it means it's something which is teacheable, so I'd start with that. As a push back agains consumerism, educate the young ones and explain them there are cases where it is possible to buy one thing for a lifetime (or so), that there is nothing wrong with buying second had goods, etc.
If you only have US IP protection, then they can make it and sell it in foreign countries. The US IP protection would be relevant once the copycat tried to import or sell into the US. But, for a small company, such enforcement can be difficult. Especially if the online marketplace does not provide any assistance.
I didn't study RF but my honest guess is

Digital formats, error correcting codes, wide band (to avoid narrow occlusion from stopping us from recieving), redundancy of transmissions, long bit frames that allow us to average our readings (at the cost of bitrate, akin to long exposure photography)
It's the present of warfare.

It's worth looking at video evidence of drone usage examples from the recent conflicts.

We've seen small drones dropping mortar rounds in trenches simply by flying above the correct spot near the entrance to a bunker and releasing it. We've seen ammo dumps being ignited by drones carrying thermite loads. We've seen long-range drone attacks on oil processing facilities, getting through expensive anti-air defences simply by sacrificing many cheap drones. Etc.

The currently ongoing Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict in Arcah/Nagorno-Karabah (in some aspects, a proxy "test" of Turkish tech vs Russian tech) is worth looking at, since drones/UAVs are a key part of military activity there.
Travel influencers, meet authoritarian regimes
Sounds like it would complicate lots of hardware and software, which means greater expense for no result except confusion. If you need non-ambiguity, just use 11:59AM/PM, which is a known good solution to the problem. Or 24 hour time.
That's fine, but you should go if you're serious.
I was just wondering why they would want to have a probe that can still run its comms equipment but can't return anything of scientific interest anymore because its instruments are no longer working... but then I realized that a nuclear power source is not like an ordinary battery - you can't use up more power now (e.g. to run the scientific instruments longer) and have less available later, you have a steadily declining "power budget" which would simply be wasted if not used?
