Watching TV shows about manufacturing process (e.g.: How It's Made) made me realise that manufacturing is not just about "making things perfect", but also "discarding the outliers".

You can make something quite bad on average, and that's okay, you just have to be able to filter out everything you don't want and keep what you want. When CPUs are manufactured, this is what they mean by the "yield". It's the percentage of the product that can be kept, with the rest of the wafer discarded.

Chef's Gallery had a scene that actually shocked me a bit -- this award winning chef was making this deep-fried puff thing that was absolutely perfect. They showed his process, which was to make dozens of them and then plate just the best one for the customer. He never had a knack at all for making them perfect! He was just throwing out 99% of the puffs that he made, using the same technique as anyone else would.

You just have to change your perspective: You're the product. You're the deep fried puff.

If you're an outlier, you will be discarded. You're the bent piece of framing. You're the slice of the silicon wafer that failed the test.

Nobody feels the slightest bit bad about rejecting a faulty product on the production line. No tears are shed. No phone calls are made to the product to see if there's anything the manufacturer can do to fix the situation.

This is Google and by extension YouTube in a nutshell. They're an advertising company manufacturing ad impressions and ad clicks. Viewers are their product.

Viewers on 1 Mbps or 1 Gbps are equally outliers. Both are too weird to cater to, less than optimal, unpredictable, difficult to advertise-to viewers.

Rejected.
In fairness it also means you're much more likely to run out of money.

Worst case scenario how long are you keeping this running at $34/mo+me revenue?
It's not people being upset, it's that talking about irony and juxtaposition is not helpful. Making a simple case is a lot more effective than vague comments on other people's cases.
"Right to repair" isn't really a universally fixed idea in its details, but one interpretation could be that a company needs to provide access to spare parts and documents to support repair by unaffiliated 3rd parties. That would not necessarily mean that the company would need to make their devices easily repairable (by for example making batteries replaceable), but instead require the companies to support unaffiliated 3rd parties in their repairing endeavors similarly to how they would do it internally. In a scheme like this, there would be nothing standing in the way of continuing to make thin devices.

That said, I do personally wish there were some sort of "minimum repairability" that would potentially put limits on how thin something can be if that made repair much more difficult, but that's a bit of a side-issue to "right to repair" for me.
There is a saying in Norwegian for this:

Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær

It translates to "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing" :)
Show HN: Daily - Accurate time tracking by asking what you are working on
Thanks for the honest feedback. I started building FEATool far too many years ago not getting anywhere in academia after too many postdocs, since it was the one thing I'm passionate about and good at and I felt was "missing" when I was working. But yes, it seems more and more that each user has a very specific problem that they want to solve which is very hard to generalize for. And although I still think (most if not all) software could be much more user friendly, I probably have taken on more than I can chew (I only keep going now since I feel I have no choice with the years I've already invested).
It's really nothing! Compare to a Iridium Go! which is what many cruisers nowadays use to download weather forecasts off-shore. Around $700 for the base unit and then even more if you want an outside antenna. This is even omnidirectional. [0]

Taking the step up to directional gyro stabilized antennas and the prices just balloon to almost insane numbers even today.[1] Then go on and add a data package....

I like the look of this. I’ve definitely used git-format-patch and git-am directly so I can edit the diffs directly. Diffing diffs can be fun too. A couple of times in complex rebasings I’ve even needed to go to the point of diffing diff diffs, which is perhaps taking it a bit too far.

Another handy extension in this general space is git-revise <https://github.com/mystor/git-revise>, which is roughly git-rebase but without touching the working tree. I use it regularly in crafting artisanal history.
You can't donate to Mozilla Corp full stop. Besides which Firefox users are strongly opposed to "nags" in the browser as Mozilla have found. Even wikipedia, with it's massive reach and yearly nags, "only" makes ~$120 million. Firefox could never hope to reach anything like that from donations alone and it needs many times that number to keep pace with Google Chrome's practically unlimited funds.
If there's one thing I've learned about technical claims about Apple hardware, it's that they are not to be believed unless they come straight from Apple in a precise and unambiguous statement, or from a reverse engineer/hacker who has looked at the code/protocols.

The reality distortion field is just as strong as always when it comes to technical details too. People will make random things up to prove that Apple is different or (more) special.
That looks excellent. I'd even count the mid-2000s web design as a positive. Reminds me of http://theoildrum.com/special/archives

The benefits for society aren't clear-cut.

The taxi has to drive around between fares, increasing congestion for no benefits to the wider economy.

Also, so far taxis are still all driven by humans. The economy only has a fixed number of humans and needs to allocate them to the most worthwhile things. Having two humans (driver and customer) in a vehicle travelling to a place costs society more than having just one person doing the driving.
As someone living in Melbourne it's been frustrating to see this same nonsense spread locally by a very vocal minority, followed by "lockdowns don't work".

I'm celebrating that following the science here has taken us from > 700 new cases per day, to our second consecutive day of zero (and lockdown ending less than 3 hours from now)

I understand why the parallels make you uncomfortable. You’d need to ask yourself why you’re fine giving the kid from Montana a leg up. Better not to think about it.
be interested to see those paper that disproves them. Can't be any worse then the string theory.
As I haven't seen it mentioned yet, if you want bi-directional sync of changes with relatively low overhead, I've found csync2 to be reasonably good for this task.
The incident itself is over a decade old and available under FOI, so it's possibly fair to file it under "things that make the front page from time to time". It's certainly not news.
I wish there were a comparable mode for neovim. I now use a combination of Google Keep and vimwiki, but I really liked org-mode back when I used emacs.
You don’t have to switch. You can use it as a dedicated application, like you would use your browser, spreadsheet program or notebook. I guess it’s easier if your preferred editor is vim, as emacs vim support is great.
In my country (Pakistan), hugging between men and hugging between women is extremely common. If n close friends are meeting, you will see Choose(n,2) hugs.

You're trying to make it sound like the rules are changing in this case. Some bureaucrats deleted some important information because they're incompetent. The rules remained the same.

Always remember yourself that it's not your fault.

Your colleague and your boss is very unprofessional. Don't be like them, don't start playing childish games. Concentrate on your work , start looking for a new job, and leave.

Any attempt to change their behavior is in vain, you can't change someone's personality (or at least it's not your responsibility to do so).
While I understand the meme, I would like people to stop saying it each time something related to Spain is in the news.
> I wonder why they needed to actually destroy a relatively expensive piece of equipment, plus spend time & money on all the orchestration around this test.

Because uneducated people (like Congressmen and executives) tend to believe stuff more when they can see it with their own eyes.

It's like, in terms of information security, putting up sensitive information on walls that can be seen from the outside. Almost no one sees a problem with that because they believe it takes expensive equipment... until you go, take a 600mm+ tele lens and prove to them that their sensitive information can be stolen for under 200$ worth of camera rental fees.

Or, remember the immigration debate in 2015? The picture of three year old Alan Kurdi on the beach and its consequences in politics? Never underestimate the power of images and videos.
I’m curious whether you’ll be able to mount the antenna on a vehicle and use it in remote places while (a) stationary or (b) moving. I’m guessing the answer is not yet publicly stated or known?
But it's 1 taxi to 100 people or something like that.

Compared to 100 cars to 100 people.

Can you imagine what London would be like tomorrow if everyone suddenly took their car to work? It'd be completely intractable. Nobody would even get near the city centre.
> The time to worry is when the problem can be dealt with

I'm convinced that it can still be dealt with but also that it'll require more drastic approaches now, such as stratospheric aerosol injection and other geoengineering techniques.
Yep. Very cool sculpture, poor taste in installation location.

Unfortunately given the nature of how the thing's created you can't really move it somewhere else. Might've actually been easier to move the house first.
I'm definitely not arguing for mediocrity since I'm not arguing for obscure code. I'm saying that companies that have much turnover (which a lot of software companies have) won't choose a language that doesn't offer them a huge pool of programmers.
I guess the thing is most people only use one solver, but at least when I was doing research it would be rare that two physics solvers based on different discretizations give exactly the same results (sometimes wildly different). So I would say, yes, its actually very valuable, although time consuming, and something most users don't really consider or think about (just because your physics solver converges doesn't necessarily mean the physics are represented accurately).
It was completely empty aside from the headings.

It turns out that a content blocker in Safari was causing this. I have no idea why, perhaps because of some class name or ID in the HTML on Medium?
"Orientalism"? Exoticism?

The wellness industry is particularly prone to it, but in general there's a weird social proof thing that humans are prone to doing where ideas and practices aren't evaluated on their own merits but by who's doing them. So people end up roleplaying or cosplaying their imagined version of some other country.
That's a ridiculous take, the only sector where the US is dominant is tech, outside of that there's really not that many brands.
> Hispanics tend to self-identify as white

Hispanics in the US mostly are white. Hispanics are significantly White to start with, and there is a definite racial socioeconomic stratification with Whites at the top, and that is not without reflection in resources, skills, and networks which help with immigration to the US.
Many of these things are uncommon, but not particularly rare among non-addicts.

> Claiming they need more drugs to replace a lost or stolen prescription

Have you really never lost a prescription? I've lost portions of mine once or twice (i.e. I had a week left and lost the bottle). Luckily not having mine is more of an annoyance than anything, but I can empathize for someone in pain who lost theirs. Stealing medications is common in addicts as well, and for every addict that steals a prescription, there's someone that legitimately did have their prescription stolen.

> Misrepresenting their symptoms

If this can be shown objectively, I can't see any way a non-addict would do this. I fear that it sows distrust between the patient and the doctor, though. The doctor is always looking for signs of the patient misrepresenting symptoms, and the patient is always worried that the doctor is going to think that they're misrepresenting their symptoms.

> Frequent visits to multiple doctors, including a willingness to travel to a different city or state to see a new physician – a phenomenon called “doctor shopping”

Uncommon, but it wouldn't be entirely shocking for someone to travel for access to a better doctor. This wouldn't be that out there for someone who has cancer, for example.

> Unwillingness or inability to provide a complete health history or contact information for previous physicians

I've moved a few times in my life. My complete health history probably involves 30 or so doctors if we go back to childhood. I don't think I could even name all of them, much less have contact info for them.

The statistics do matter, but we're talking about subjecting people to pain here. The evidentiary bar should probably be higher than "you did a thing that addicts are statistically more likely to do". I think especially so when the worst case scenario is that we give an addict a fix. I'm not advocating drug use, but the harm caused seems pretty minimal, beyond the cost of administering that dose in a hospital.

The Perils of Meritocracy
You mean they can use the sites that are also censored by Google and Apple via their app stores?

What people on these threads never seen to think about is, how long until Chrome starts blocking "misinformation"? Would you be making the same arguments then because, someone could theoretically download a separate web browser that nobody has ever heard of?

The problem with these arguments is there's no obvious end to them. They are very much a slippery slope. It ends with people who want to criticise the Democrats having to build their own internet out of their own cables and radios, which would be a de-facto China-style totalitarian society.

The problem is the sort of people who now work for these tech firms are fundamentally untrustworthy, and appear to have kicked out or 'converted' the people who used to work there who were. We are now left with a big pile of infrastructures and institutions that are controlled by political extremists.

Unfortunately this means that if Biden does win his critics will claim his win wasn't legitimate/fair, just like Trump's critics claimed about Russia. Except "Trump won because of Russia" was investigated deeply and there was nothing there, whereas tech company censorship is plain as day and visible for all to see.
I was responding to a suggested general rule.
Unison is only intended for two "points" isn't it? i.e. it's meant for pretty narrow range of "client : server" sync jobs, and is essentially unusable without exactly the same patch version on both ends.

For purely server-side "cluster" sync I've found csync2 to be a reasonable solution.
Does someone more fluent know what one would use this for? It seems weird that we had React, which was for web, and React Native which was for mobile, and now we've come full circle to a way to go from a React Native app back to a React app.

It feels like I'm missing something.
Given these limitations, I wonder what the theoretical maximum is for revenue, and how long it will be until they pay back the investment in launching it. It must work out favorably or they wouldn't be doing it, but is this going to make a dent in paying for Mars expeditions?
I am absolutely baffled at how the media is covering this study, it's basically "front page" or I've seen it as the number 1 news item.

Yet this doesn't mean anything as they didn't study T-cell response, and many other things.

It is absolutely ridiculous fearmongering, and clickbait, by a top university + the press.

As far as I know there has been 1 reinfection case in the entire US, and that was questionable as the guy tested positive the second time a few days after testing negative, so its possible it was a false positive. 1 case, in the ENTIRE US. It is ridiculous to suggest there isn't some sort of immunity. The virus has been around for 9 months now.

A taxi is still one per person at any point in time.

The only difference is the amount of parking needed.

Had the city been built for that (ie. A few floors of underground parking under every building) it would be fine. Some cities in Poland do this. Clearly retrofitting that isn't practical.

The whole point was that this was a house that shouldn't have been demolished (or moved). The council didn't want the sculpture to stay because it stood as a reminder of their policy, the public were in two minds because it was so brutalist in appearance, and they misunderstood it to exemplify gentrification. If it remained today it would be a universally loved and globally visited icon of modern art.
Said credit agency has sent a physical notice (by first class mail) to the address they have listed, except it is out of date. It's an authentication catch-22, which is easily solvable for anyone inside the country (and would have been easily solvable for that person in their normal course of life without corona). Not yet kafka level, but the it does bring his name to mind.

And, yes, a government agency would cause the same issues. The thing is, government is (supposedly) accountable to the people, but GoogFaceSoft is accountable to their shareholders. The incentives do not align -- but many of the powers (and abuses of power) do.
Twitter disabling the NY Post doesn't make 'business sense' under any conventional definition of business, unless you consider election manipulation for the benefit of one political party to have near unlimited business upside.

What we're dealing with here is not ordinary abuse control of the sort that isn't controversial, and it's a false equivalence to connect the two. It's outright suppression of doing anything that might harm the political left.
