Vendors will often swap out a successful product with a completely different one because the listing has a lot of good reviews. This is incredibly common on Amazon. Just change the name, description, photos and everything else and continue getting the search boost.
What did you mean by swt? Surely you are not making fun of Islam in a completely unrelated thread.
This was my complaint about a go port at my employer. There was an old C++ service that was really slow, so the Go advocate made a bug-for-bug compatible version of it in Go, and they migrated over to that system. A lot of work went into touting how awesome it was, until I asked "so, you could have done this in C++, or really any other compiled language?" and they said "yeah, I just wanted to help build enthusiam for go. there's nothing specific about the language that made the resulting system any better"
You can, but you have to do that manually while you still have your connection. I've gotten into the habit of doing that frequently while triaging mail, but I'd rather not have to.
There is a start on VA.gov already happening in this direction. The front-end codebase and backend (Drupal 8) CMS are both fully opensource for VA.gov.

* Backend - https://github.com/department-of-veterans-affairs/va.gov-cms...

Paul's company is working on this project too (whom I work alongside with but with a different company)!

The U.S. Digital Service is really a big factor in this, see the playbook, specifically play 13:

> If the codebase has not been released under an open source license, explain why.

source: https://playbook.cio.gov/#play13.

So, see how this is now flipped. It is now "hey, you need to open source this by default, and if not, you need to explain why you didn't." and not the other way around!

Update: See Andrew Gunsch's comment in this thread too!
Article doesn't explain the issue, but OFFSET lets you access cells that aren't referenced in the formula.

For example, OFFSET(B2,1,1,1,1) is a live reference to cell C3, which means you can use functions like COLUMN to investigate the range. C3 shows up nowhere in the formula, so there's no non-volatile way to implement it.

The first argument to INDEX is a "sqref" (cell, range, or set of ranges) and INDEX will error if you try to reference a cell outside of the sqref, so use of INDEX doesn't break the obvious dependency structure
Put the insta ink chip on an empty cartridge and tell it to print an alignment/test page from the menu. It uses a tiny LED and light sensor on the print head to see the printed ink on the page during the alignment process. If that sees no ink, it marks the cartridge as empty and orders another.

The same will happen if you pull the half-printed paper out of the printer midway through the alignment process, which is how I discovered it.
I’ve probably purchased 10 products this year from Amazon that have a card tucked in the packaging offering to give me something free in return for a 5 star review and sending them proof I left it.
That's the Internet today. All important review sites have these problems. Most businesses today live and die on customer reviews, so they do everything they can in order to maintain high rating. There's obv a lot Amazon and others can do to fight it. But it's a very hard problem, as your example suggests. The worse part is doctor reviews. Some people pick their doctor based on fake reviews.

That's why when I buy things I usually look into the negative reviews first, then the time period of the positive reviews (many reviews too close is usually a red flag), the total number of reviews a product has (e.g., some items have too many reviews), and also search the product on other sites to see maybe there's something I missed. I also rarely order something from a seller with < 90% rating on Amazon. For something like picking a doctor, I always go with recommendations from people I know. I also check online reviews, but only read the negative ones.
There is no "grid". Virtually all the sites (and the communities) are run on diesel (which has to be flown in).. and in recent years they're running more on solar/battery, but the weather makes that severely difficult.
It's the default Windows 10 setting - "Notify me only when programs try to make changes to my computer"
because cloud services for broadcast tv are none of those things.

At first I thought the call audio was extremely bad on the Pixel 5, because I've always put the corner of the phone in my ear. Once I read that you have to place your ear over the phone glass instead, the audio became completely normal-sounding.
I've found so far, vegan cheese either melts and doesn't taste good or doesn't melt and tastes good. And by good I mean in comparison to mass produced cheese. It'll be awhile before there's a good, vegan alternative to homemade mozzarella. However, there doesn't need to be. The vast majority of cheesy/non-vegan food that's eaten is low quality ingredients.
The difference being road construction is likely (presumably) overseen by a Gov agency that will hold the contractor accountable - whereas internet providers enjoy regulatory capture thru writing their own telecom laws, along with lobbying purchased legislators to place handpicked people into top regulator positions.
I don't know what open source you use. But yes, the big ones are mostly done by people who are paid for it. They are not after work occasional effort.

The smaller ones are also often done a part of university research or on clock. Not necessary because companies are altruistic, but because they need something and because open source developers need to eat.

I made a somewhat educated guess. I'm not as educated as the people you name, but they too are just guessing. I'm trying to be reasonable though, and I don't have any reason to spread an optimistic hope.

I find it fallacious to see this as a criticism of p-values.

If I wanted to identify whether a particular coin was the [most] biased out of 10^1000, flipping one coin 10 times isn't a reasonable setup for the experiment.

And, my conclusion to your hypothetical experiment would be: the person who told me that there was a 99.9...% chance this coin was fair was likely incorrect about that.

There won't be a single source that has the breadth of Amazon's selection. But I'll often use Amazon to find the specific thing I want and grab the model number. Then I can search the manufacturer's website to see if they'll sell it to me directly. If not, Google it (or ebay or Cragslist or Mercari or...) which is much easier once you know exactly what you're looking for.
How is "don't buy this product, it definitely has fake reviews" not a product review?
There was a surprising low number of Americans in those documents, which date back into the 1970s. In 2010 there were significant changes in US law which effectively removed places like Panama papers from happening again moving forward.

These are the reasons the poster above you stated the decade limitation. He is correct.

Additionally, most real-world applications fall into very predictable patterns which can be encapsulated by REST API's with hand-tweaked SQL access patterns for speed. You don't generally need arbitrary query patterns from the client, and Rails/ActiveRecord already has tons of problems minimizing SQL calls. If you've built a decent backend API framework, making a new route should be quick, it's just access/auth boilerplate plus whatever retrieval is the most efficient.

purely driven by curiosity, not vegan or health-concerned or anything, it still took me a very long time (years) to one time take a chance and try an Impossble burger somewhere (think it was A&W). One night I just decided to take the plunge.

It was 'fine'. But nothing is really incentivizing me to have it regularly. I kind of want to be mislead -- don't tell me it's a plant-based burger. If the studies are consistent, I'll think it's fine.

McDonalds finally taking the plunge into this is big for markets as is anything they get into. I suspect that they finally see the numbers working as far as consumer-readiness and competitors all selling them now also. So that indicates it must be working somewhat at the other places like Burger King etc. Has anyone you know said they eat plant burgers regularly tho - other than veggie/vegan friends??

Maybe McNatural would be a better name, less focused on the Plant aspect which I agree will turn ppl away.
Clearly you have not read the article.
The McDo menu varies pretty dramatically from country to country, I wouldn't be surprised if they are telling the truth in that instance.

Citizens of rich oil sheikhdoms in the Gulf have had de-facto UBI, and a high one, for a long time, even though the formalities were a bit muddled. In practice, if you were lucky enough to be born as a Saudi or Qatari citizen, your needs would be covered.

So I believe what is going on is an accelerated change in the finer bodies and this is in turn is likely laying down some new neural pathways or activating ones heretofore unused in this meat suit.

Sounds great and exotic does it not? Yes lets refine our nervous system how lovely right? I guess but to me it reminds me of when I was extremely young and the body was not as cooperative with my desires as it should have been.

This is sort of like having become very accustomed to being in an adult body and now I am like a young child again trying to get his legs working right to walk which I do remember very clearly and did not like at all.

So yes I am being more attentive to this new frequency things are operating on learning how to operate in it. This is nothing special just new and unaccustomed to.

One thing is very much certain I am really getting direct knowledge of not being this body but being in it. Not being this nervous system and brain but the very thing working through it and not even being this thing typing calling itself I.
That shouldn't even be possible, in my opinion. Imagine taking a popular tweet and changing out all the wording, leaving the likes and retweets now supporting a very different message.

Yep, I had purchased some earbuds for $10 plus tax. It had a similar card for a Gift card for $15, wherein I was supposed to place a review and send the proof to a gmail address.

They were junk, like really really bad, but if you check the reviews you will think that they were the best earbuds under the Sun. Some were simple review, some were from audiophiles with several paragraphs of details.

When I had purchased there were 0 review and the price as ~$10. After the reviews, all 5 star, accumulated, the price had jumped to about $15.
Would love to use this for ArchiveBox so we can get smaller Docker image sizes while still including Chromium headless.

Is there a docker POC anywhere I can check out?

https://github.com/cxreet/chromium-debloating seems empty at the moment.
I would also point out the problem of "bitcreep" ( https://www.gwern.net/Holy-wars ): Google can keep Chrome-OS and Chrome 'FLOSS' indefinitely much the same way it has kept Android's FLOSSness largely nominal - by simply having complex enough, slowly shifting, incompatible behavior, everything gets sucked in around it. FLOSS is slow, and can only catch up if there is a stable target. (Stephenson covers this in "In The Beginning Was The Commandline" too.) Add in the service-fication of Android, and now the key code and systems aren't even FLOSS, as the FLOSS code exists only as a partial bootloader for the services that every user (and every website or application they use?) require.
Regarding "penalizing honesty," I think it actually rewards honestly quite greatly—because of the Honor Code's importance in Caltech culture (i.e. one of the undergrad application essays is specifically about the Honor Code), it means that everyone gets to benefit from take-home exams.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that the "implied notion that Caltech students are... honest" is, in my experience, largely true (possibly because Caltech tries to select people who think the Honor Code is good from the get-go).
I love the form factor of a slot plugin module. Makes it easy to switch and replace, while not taking too much space.

This will never happen, no matter how much you want it to. Nobody but isolated pockets of extremists think this way.
“The issued patents are published by the patent office so you can find the whole long list of them and see exactly what they say. Of course, you couldn't actually read that whole list as there are too many of them. In the US, there are hundreds of thousands of software patents.

There is no way you can keep track of what they are all about. You would have to try to search for relevant ones. Some people say that should be easy in these modern days of computers. You could search for key words and so-on. That one works to a certain extent. You will find some patents in the area. You won't necessarily find them all however. For instance, there was a software patent which may have expired by now on natural order recalculation in spread sheets. This means basically that when you make certain cells depend upon other cells, it always recalculates everything after the things it depends on, so that after one re-calculation, everything is up to date. The first spread sheets did their recalculation top-down, so if you made a cell depend on a cell lower down, and you had a few such steps, you had to recalculate several times to get the new values to propagate upwards. You were supposed to have things depend upon cells above them. Then someone realized why don't I do the recalculation so that everything gets recalculated after the things it depends upon? This algorithm is known as topological sorting. The first reference to it I could find was in 1963. The patent covered several dozen different ways you could implement topological sorting but you wouldn't have found this patent by searching for spreadsheet. You couldn't have found it by searching for natural order or topological sort. It didn't have any of those terms in it. In fact, it was described as a method of compiling formulas into object code. When I first saw it, I thought it was the wrong patent.”

Nicely stated gunsch:

> Open-sourcing hasn't cultivated much in the way of public engagement with the projects, but it's done a lot in terms of making development easier for the range of contractors + VA employees we have, and (IMO) nudged toward better decision-making with the underlying knowledge that everything we do is publicly viewable.
Its only ever a minority that gets outraged or praised over certain things. not entire groups as a whole. I would hypothetically fall in to the category of being 'outraged' over not explicitly mentioning the fact that the burger that I eat contains soy instead of very low quality meat. especially if I have the expectation of a regular mcdonalds burger. There is enough grey area in what is fit for human consumption when you look at certain additives sugar replacement and now you allow companies to not even have to put meat in a product that pretends to contain meat?

Hypothetical ofcourse as I dont go to mcdonalds
Are you referring to the phone holder in the car? I can see how a phone holder with a magnetic charging cable can give similar functionality, with the addition that the home charger would also need to be magnetic so that there is no need to plug and unplug the adaptor. Also, I wonder how finicky aligning the magnetic connection would be in a phone holder -- it's has not been a problem with my wireless charger: either the wireless charger in my phone holder has pretty wide tolerances in alignment, or the holding clips were well designed, as I have not had any instances where it did not align and charge.
It could be that was the entire goal with Intel's 5G efforts (that failed). The licensing of the 5G chip is probably what's driving this - and that's on Qualcomm.
Because you can focus on more than one thing? Focusing on one of these naturally excludes the other.
Might also punt things you need out of the cache if it runs too far ahead?
One approach I have taken is ordering some things from the manufacturer directly. For example, I really like Laird Superfood[0] and Duke Cannon[1] products so I will buy direct from them, but there are a lot of other categories with which I am unfamiliar.

If you work with web standard technologies your code is probably inherently open. Even still most developers in that space cannot write any original code to save their lives. They are utterly reliant on mountains of shit that does everything and they string a few build tasks together. As an experiment take NPM, Angular, React, or SpringMVC away and observe the forth coming violence like a zombie apocalypse in a third world nation. The entitlement runs deep.

It looks like you'd rent it out for an event or such. I can see that it would be a bit of a fun - if we're all on video / phone chats all day & we need to do a 'virtual offsite' it would be good to change the environment a little.
