As someone who has had to clean and analyze inventory data, I can't agree with you enough.

In every company I've worked or consulted for, inventory reconciliation is always an ongoing headache for every business with a retail component. It is unbelievable how much waste and loss comes about from this.

Are their any companies achieving some level of automation? I would be very interested in learning more.
Does anyone else struggle with counting individual birds? I talk myself out of submitting a checklist to the "Great Backyard Bird Count" like every year because I worry I'm double counting birds and will mess up their data. When you have a bunch of feeders and live halfway in the woods it becomes an issue of: are there 20 mourning doves or 30? 40 finches or 50?

What's the tax burden of enforcing a minimum wage vs not having one?
Problem: There are so many selfish psychopaths in our society that nobody can find a good, honest and reliable partner anymore.

Solution: Help psychopaths to have children together.

Outcome: Breeds more psychopaths so that there are even more of them.

Next problem: Too many psychopathic murderers.

Next solution: Co-parenting service for serial killers.

Outcome: ...

Humanity terrifies me.
Earliest LAN games I remember was playing Snipes on the school Novell network in 1991. Pretty simple game but a lot of fun!

legalization and decriminalization are slightly different.

Drugs will only be cheap if:

- they are legal to commercially manufacture and distribute (not merely decriminalized)

- they aren't taxed excessively

Cigarettes, for example, are cheap to manufacture, but still expensive due to high taxes in a lot of places (up to $10+ per pack).

Incarceration is not aimed at rehabilitating, it's aimed at punishing. That it occasionally rehabilitates by accident is not an argument in favor.

If the goal is rehabilitation, then let's talk about how to best do that.
I do a bit of wildlife photography in my spare time (follow me on Insta for pictures of British birds and occasionally my cat - https://instagram.com/onion4k). Recognising birds is surprisingly hard. A lot of them have very subtle differences that can't be spotted easily. For example, telling the difference between a common Thrush[1] and a much less common Redwing[2] is a real challenge. It's a fun and challenging problem to train yourself to do.

I think thats' the hidden goal of modular programming.. or functional programming to an extent. Have easy variability to allow for easy adjusting to converge to an optimal solution.
Yes, but at that time it was still part of Austria :) So you had a Serb born in Croatia, which legally was Austria. Doesn't get more confusing than that nationality-wise.
Eh, not sure what insight Blow has on web work. He seems to condescend toward web devs and have an axe to grind about it.
That's typical mobster mentality. Quite similar to patent trolls.

I wonder what the proportion of people is for who incarceration is the start of recovery vs people for who incarceration is the start of a downward spiral.

My guess is that incarceration for non violent drug offenders has way more negative outcomes vs positive outcomes. I used to work out at a boxing gym and there were quite a few people whose possibility of finding an ok job was almost zero because a marijuana or cocaine conviction had put a negative mark on their background checks. This is especially true for poor neighborhoods where families don’t have the financial ability to support other family members who have problems.
Those rules just sound like a bad idea that should be changed.

In the UK at least, it needs to be with your local authority by 10PM on polling day. If you fail to send it in time, you can just bring it down manually instead.

(aside: I am generally opposed to postal voting. Postal vote seems even more prone to abuse than remote electronic voting.)
Firefox with uBlock Origin is wonderful. I've found that also adding NoScript is very handy, even though it can sometimes be annoying. In general, anything that requires I play "Javascript Roulette" is unlikely to be worth wasting my time on.

In general, the author's approach resembles mine with a few detail differences, and I never got onto Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc. in the first place. I'm not completely de-Googled (unrooted Android phone here), but I do keep them at arm's length. Windows 10 is such a non-starter for me that when I bought a new laptop last year, before I even powered it up the first time I yanked out the SSD, replaced it with a bigger one, and then loaded Xubuntu on it.
Intrigued by the hugely favorable reviews for Brother printers. I like appliances (printer or otherwise) that just work. If I ever have to buy a printer again, I'll seriously consider Brother.

I currently use HP InkAdvantage 2135. Everyone at home uses Linux and it works flawlessly. Didn't have to particularly install anything for printing.

After reading the comments here, I'm starting to believe that we got lucky.

Here are the downsides of my HP:

1. You cannot print a lot of pages on a single cartridge. They claim just 480, but I would put the realistic number to below 400 pages. And the cartridges are NOT cheap.

2. No auto-duplex

3. No wireless connectivity option for this particular printer.

But I knew about 2 and 3 while making the purchase, so it's not really a downside.

However, considering that Brother printers are cheaper and paper yield is substantially higher, I feel that I should've bought that instead.

I'm secretly hoping my existing printer goes kaput :)
I would very happily take 16% of an extra $1B.
Is this[1] the document you are talking about?

It doesn't seem to read as bad as what you make it sounds but it could end up exactly that bad.

In my country we already have a system where the price of electricity fluctuates hourly depending on supply and demand.

The result for individuals: many people just subscribe to a flat rate from the electricity companies to avoid the uncertainty and pay the same predictable price each month (but of course, this predictable price comes at a significant markup with respect to the "free market" price). The rest of us go with the fluctuating price but just don't bother, because we are not going to spend substantial amount of time every day looking at how the prices evolve to decide when we turn stuff on or off. So we just read the bill every two months, not even making an effort to understand it, grumble a bit and go on with our lives. I suppose there may be some people who actually try to optimize, but I don't know any - from what I know, people short on income tend to go with the flat rate because they can't afford the uncertainty.

I don't know how it works in industrial applications. I do know that some industries (e.g. steel) complain about the fluctuating prices because they operate 24/7, and basically they reaction is that if the government doesn't subsidize their electricity bill, they'll just close and go to some other country. So my guess is it's not really working either.
The Sims Was Right
It definitely does come with backends for various APIs: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/tree/master/backends
The point of the ballot initiative though was to put independent repair shops on the same level as manufacturer-owned service centers with respect to mechanical data which was transmitted wirelessly.

In other words, the prior question covered wired connections, but wireless telematics was a "loophole" of sorts. If I were an OEM and wanted to sell in MA, I had an easy way to get data that would be able to stay proprietary to me and my network of dealers so long as I transmitted that data wirelessly.

I probably agree with you on the continuous data transmission point wrt desirability overall, but given that your car is going to do it anyway, I want that data to not be locked in the OEM garden. This removes that major advantage to using wireless transmission to work around this.
Both states and Kamala can't limit speech due to the current SCOTUS absolutist consensus on the first amendment, but that doesn't mean they don't want to. If we are to judge from colleges' foray into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_code in the 90s, the entirety of FIRE jurisprudence in the last 2 decades, and FAANG workforces demanding more censorship, colleges being a pretty close approximation of liberal views on the freedom of speech, especially future views, the moment SCOTUS lifts its absolutism, there will be numerous regulations of speech in liberal jurisdictions, and then federally.
I am not personally impacted, I just know of people who are.

Government isn’t the solution to every problem. Caring or not caring is irrelevant. Reaching for a government-level solution isn’t a good thing, just have a look at nations where government plays a much larger role.
A lot more people would die of heroin if it was "cheap" and available. It's very easy to OD with it. Not to mention it turns anyone into a junkie in the span of a few weeks, and it's _very_ difficult to get off it.

There seems to be this false equivalence in the minds of some folks between hard drugs and e.g. pot. This has no basis in reality. Pot won't fuck you up. Meth most definitely will.
At one point, Docker's announcement said that all 'docker pull' requests would count towards the rate limit, even if you had every layer cached and no layers ended up being downloaded.

I may be wrong but I interpreted that to mean that even caching won't prevent you from hitting the limit.
Senate is irrelevant in this case because the Paris Agreement is not regarded as a treaty. The Senate didn’t ratify anything five years ago either.

In the USA the three main banks are Chase, Wells, and Bank of America.

Wells is notoriously crooked. Bank of America was a primary player in structuring withdrawls to maximize overdraft fines on their customers.

Chase has its own problems, but it would add a lot of inconvenience to your life to eliminate it.

Those three big players have purchased the majority of other banks in the country, leaving a scattered few credit unions and smaller banks around, which will be extra inconvenient when you travel and they absolutely will not offer the same range of credit cards with good rewards programs.
I won’t do business with anyone that employees Meg Whitman. She was the CEO of HP while it imploded. The damage was obviously self-inflicted and driven by upper management.
I think the difference is a growing awareness of the limitations of my life and potential, coupled with a growing appreciation of the boundless things I could do to learn, enjoy myself, and improve my life and others'. I think when I was younger I just saw something fun and exciting and went for it. As the years have gone by, the sheer number of things that I have identified as fun as exciting has become so overwhelming that "fun and exciting" seems utterly unhelpful for narrowing down the possibilities.

I can also look back now and see how many things that I was sure I would do in my life haven't happened yet. Plus, like another commenter pointed out, life obligations keep mounting up.
You're right, some people simply enjoy occasionally consuming drugs. It's not much different to people consuming alcohol really, the only real differences are alcohol is generally more socially accepted, and that alcohol is generally considered to be more harmful to society.

If there was a guaranteed safe supply chain for recreational drugs that are currently illegal, things would be a lot safer too.
As someone who's worked with HTML 3.2: people using <a> as button, and button (and before that, input type=button) as link via JS predates React by several decades.

As for that last statement: not sure if you're missing words, but when I say someone is not a web dev, I mean they not web devs. They may be devs, and the technologies they use might use part of the web stack, but they're not developing web content, they're developing different content with a completely different event model, a completely different UI methodology, and completely different runtime requirements.

Any time you encounter a website where the back button doesn’t work, or with a “link” that works when you click it but can’t be right-clicked to open in a new tab, that’s probably the work of someone who doesn't understand their deployment target well enough to do the right thing, so educate them. Whether that's because they're only used to React, or because they don't realise that web content comes with conventions that they're not adhering to makes no difference. Any time you see broken behaviour, it's because the web stack made that easier than doing the right thing. That's on all of us.
Yes. I appreciate the nuance you bring. I would reword where I wrote 'medicare' as: 'affordable healthcare', which in it's current form is (as you described) often a mix between private and public mechanisms/institutions.
You're moving the goal posts. The Chandler Waymo service is entirely driverless and not on a fixed route, with expanded service coming next year and additional cities opening up in 2022-2023. I encourage you to read up on Waymo's progress - it's quite a bit farther along than most people think.
You're totally correct. It was 4 reactor buildings feeding one turbine house, but the house contained two turbo generators. Thanks for the correction!
+1, a lot of these tutorials are just clickbait.
I agree something could be done about alcohol abuse. But your last sentence is madness. Unless you mean it sarcastically, which is the only way I can understand it.
You could argue that in the past a lot of relationships were also transactional. In many circles marriage was more about securing inheritance. Marriage out of love is a relatively new concept.
That assumes an economic elasticity that I don't think drugs have.
This would also drastically improve the accessibility situation for games!
I still have a Canon Pixma iP3600 that I've bought 10 years ago and 3rd party refillable cartridges. It's cheap, plug'n'play setup, compact (relatively to the laser jet printers).

Yea, inks can run out. When they do I just use a syringe and refill them all in 20 min. However, laser cartridge can run out as well, what are you going to do with it? Buy new? Refill at the shop? Meh, I don't want to go to the shop. (If it works during these times)

People hate them, however, for tech savvy folks they're cheap and easy to maintain.
> But I feel compelled to comment that incarceration is not always the inhumane dead-end that it's painted as. It's one of many tools that can be used to rehabilitate those in need.

Most of Europe has compulsory treatment options instead of incarceration, but due to abuses in the past it's a non-starter in the US.
So you’re saying alcoholism isn’t expensive? There are tons of homeless alcoholics.
Ah, I have fond memories of that, a favourite for me too. I wish it was a permanent exhibit. His exhibition there last year was just great too with lots of light used in different ways.

Californians seem determined to ensure that the mass of people in their state are underpaid, unhealthy and an inch from being homeless.

That's actually the "reasonably" part. The BT keyboard mapping is not completely perfect for a few corner cases (I think alt-space was one?). Hackers keyboard is OK for small tasks. You might try a small USB keyboard and USB OTG cable if your phone supports USB peripherals. I used the setup more when I was going someplace and didn't want to drag a laptop. Since I'm not going much of anywhere these days it's of much less use, in fact last time my check termux busted on some update but I haven't needed it so I haven't fixed it.
"I joked with a friend that as people get older they start to prefer static typing."

I don't think you can tell that right now. Statically-typed languages have gotten much, much better over the past 30 years (progressively), and over the last 20 years we've all aged, you know, 30 years, so right now I think there's a lot of correlation there rather than necessarily causation. I have also switched to static typing as I've "gotten older", but I would still totally rate things in the order "1990 static < 2010 dynamic < 2020 static", even if I had to choose right now. Static was a real mess in the past.

It also isn't even necessarily big jumps that make that true as much as a steady development of innovations, since obviously it's not like all modern static languages are Hindley-Milner or anything. But a slow dribble of both little features and improvements in understanding of how to use everything over the years, like type deduction (getting rid of the usually-redundant specification of type on both sides of "="), getting away from the idea that OO === matching physical models, libraries that have learned to take more interfaces instead of concrete types, languages like Go that privilege composition over inheritance instead of the other way around and the general trend towards composition, getting iterators embedded more deeply into languages like C#, control flow improvements like usable threading methodologies ("share memory by communicating, don't communicate by sharing memory", and even as much as I dislike it vs. the alternatives, having async/await is better than not having any options even though I prefer Go-style threading by a mile), and so on and so on... a steady dribble of little improvements that one step at a time changed the cost/benefit tradeoffs of a static vs. dynamic language from clearly dynamic circa 2000 to fairly clearly (IMHO) static for any non-trivial code base in 2020. And that's before we talk about Rust or anything like that.
It already had too many exceptions so you thought the best path forward was to add more exceptions?
The difference in those probabilities is the same. In each case, the event with the greater probability is 1-in-a-thousand times more likely to occur than the lesser.

Let's walk through an example with these numbers. Each case has 2 probabilities and we'll assign them each to the possible outcomes of a coin flip.

Case 1:

The probability of heads is 0 and the probability of tails is 0.001. We flip the coin 1,000 times. The ideal outcome is that we see 0 heads and 1 tails.

Case 2:

The probability of heads is 0.499 and the probability of tails is 0.500. We flip the coin 1,000 times. The ideal outcome is that we see 499 heads and 500 tails.

(You'll notice that the outcomes don't add up to 1,000 in either case, and that's because the probabilities don't add up to 1. That means there is actually a third possible outcome, but that can be ignored for the purpose of this example.)

They each differ by a result of 1 result per 1,000 trials. This is because probability is simply the likelihood of an event occurring. There is no super-linear pattern going on here. It is no harder to get from 0.7 to 0.9 probability than it is to get from 0.2 to 0.4. It is just a measure of likelihood.

What is causing people to misunderstand this? I wonder if you're thinking about probability distributions vs. probability itself?
I said physics has moved on.

Also, if experimental surgeries were never attempted in the 20th century the quality and length of our lives, and potentially trillions of future human lives, would be nasty, brutish, and short. Not all attempts had a sound basis and I don’t defend them. I do say the good of the total if 20th century experimental surgeries far outweighs the bad. Importantly, we are able to learn from our mistakes quickly. It took centuries to stop using the breaking wheel. It took less than a lifetime to stop lobotomies.

I’m struggling to understand your point though. Do doctors still practice lobotomies and refuse to wash hands, or have they cast aside their tribalism and make decisions based on science?
Okay that makes much more sense. Thanks a lot for clarifying that for me.
There actually WAS a big push/requirement for states to adopt new tech after the 2000 election. https://www.eac.gov/about_the_eac/help_america_vote_act.aspx

Certainly not perfect but I think we can all be glad there aren't any "hanging chad" punchcards or un-auditable lever machines to worry about this election.
The solution to a lack of empathy, intimacy, and romance in our society is to normalize transactional child rearing? Get real.
As strange a move as this may seem outside of India, the culture’s huge focus on competitive exams means this is:

1. A very cheap way for them to build trust with a whole generation at a time.

2. A good way to leverage their brand and distribution to provide an accurate measure that a lot of these students need in order to improve.
It's mostly paid out by Uber actually - Uber would start paying for healthcare, payroll tax, unemployment insurance, social security etc. Just like, you know, your average Facebook job except without the 401K matching, stock benefits, bonuses & other perks.

Uber could either burn even more secondary-offering cash to pay for it, or charge to passengers what that ride costs. Only people who hire private drivers with Uber would pay those costs, not "everyone" in a flat way. People who ride Uber more would pay more.

(And maybe, once we realize the actual cost chauffeurs for rent & private transportation, one can start paying more attention to housing patterns, sprawl, public transportation etc.)
That's the point. Even though some fix-wings or convertible drones are able to do certain maneuvers similar to multirotors, their endurance is extremely limited then. A hybrid copter like HYBRiX is able to hover for hours, but it would be even more efficient on translational flight.
Here you can see to which degree we can control the drone when we push it to its limit: https://www.instagram.com/p/CHIZgQPgLtZ/

This means an outstanding resistance to wind, which fix-wings do not have.
