Like I said, exceptional circumstances can be exceptions to the rules. We can define a separate RoE for dealing with clear terrorists, but most cops will never engage with a terrorist.

It doesn't feel like you're trying to make a charitable interpretation of what everyone is asking for. You're welcome to suggest improvements to the language, but writing off the idea because of a "well actually" attitude smells of ideology.
It’s been pretty clear for some time now that inability to inhabit anything besides earth is a huge failure mode for the species. It might possibly be the unifying goal for the species to put aside its petty differences and come together on a grand project.

I gotta say though, the chances seem extremely slim and it’s more likely that climate change would trigger a reduction in the production capacity of humanity triggering political changes that may make it impossible to solve these problems.

I've heard of this study, but Molyneux is quite simply wrong if he thinks mouse behavior can be not only extrapolated to human behavior without further evidence, but used to justify his own particular ideology.
Yep. Intel aims to pay in the 50th percentile for jobs. The problem with that is that many FAANG like companies can literally pay the top employees twice or more to come work for them.

A lot of the top-talent has left Intel and I think that will continue. Unfortunately for Intel most of the mediocre employees have stayed.

I've been looking at Avro for a while; how are you all feeling about it? Any suggestions or gotcha from real world usage?
I've tried going down that rabbit hole before. The primary issue that stopped me was the different executable file formats.

I never took it anywhere, but I think the way to go would be a "polyglot" script that could be interpreted by different script engines (sh/bat) that would then pick the correct executable for the given OS. This would require the user to change the file extension as well as download multiple executable files so I don't necessarily like this solution from an elegance stand point.

"I worked there when this was filmed. Immediately following the airing there was so much shame that they launched a whole office redesign and open office concept. Nothing like some well deserved ribbing to shake things up!!!"

"The "gray on gray" quip led to an attempt to add color to some office buildings. The open office redesign looked much better than the 80s and 90s cubicles, at least the one I saw in Santa Clara. Much more current, modern aesthetic, without walls. I left the company a couple of years after that so not sure how well it took hold. Friends who stayed said it didn't work out too well but it's been years since then (Conan did this bit in 2007)."

But humans also don’t have infinite demand on production. If we have a sufficiently high amount of production per capita (ie we are post-scarcity) then growth becomes irrelevant (especially if overall population isn’t growing, which with current trends seems reasonable). At that point the only thing is to ensure that output distribution is sufficiently equitable. We can then have millions of years of stable happy humanity with zero growth.

‘Bankroll management’ concepts in the poker community were a fantastic learning tool about concepts such as variance and risk of ruin. The ‘tldr’ recommendation is to keep 20 x buyins of a cash game or 100 x for tournaments, but inside the nitty gritty, as Opponent skill increases proportionally to your own, Winrate decreases, meaning more buyins are required to offset risk. ‘Running bad’ can last hundreds of thousands of hands too - 100-year disasters happen every few hundred hands in what mentally seems mathematically improbable is actually likely to happen at an unexpectedly high frequency. Even if you have a 10,000 buyin bankroll, there’s no guarantee you won’t go bust even with a significant skill edge. Be a slight losing player and you will forever appear to be ‘running bad’ but just turns out you suck.

Applying this to real world business concepts is interesting too - corona was a great example, and for all we know next year could be unrelated total world war, past has some indication of future trends but only when the sample size is substantially large (in the case of geopolitics and disasters, all known global history is an insignificant sample)
the joke goes that finance firms are employee run co-ops. And for the most part it's true: you end up keeping quite a high percentage of the money you earn for the firm. Profits are paid out to everyone, not just a few at the top.
As I've linked to many times on HN:

The Iron Law of Bureaucracy

> Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people":

> First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

> Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

> The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

https://www.jerrypournelle.com/reports/jerryp/iron.html

This (and other organizational failures and technological innovations) is why there will always be startups and small businesses eventually where there was once a big entrenched business or two (or sometimes three).

There is also, of course, whole new industries and niches to be created out of nothing, value and wealth is never a finite pile. It's mostly a matter of human effort to find and break out these new areas. Sometimes just reinventing things as the old talent grows old and dies off, providing value in learning history.
A number can be corroborated by multiple people and have a logical chain to its creation and still be utter BS. Even scientific papers with their standards have massive issues with reproducibility. Look at the HN comments pointing out measurement methodology flaws when some corporate blog claims X% improvement.

My point was more towards those engineers who are sticklers for accuracy and truth. It doesn't matter in this case. Mass delusion is fine as long as enough people believe it and there's a thin veneer of logic around it.

Why gas stations vs any other commerical location? Chargers are more popular and useful in parking spots.
Yeah, most microwaves boil down to a big capacitor, a big transformer, a big mangnetron, and a dead-simple power supply for fire safety/fan control/etc. The ones with dials and no display might not have any control electronics to speak of.

The transformers are popular for DIY projects like spot welders or HV supplies.
One less thing to have, and I think it might be quicker? Not sure on that, but I do know that electric kettles are much more prevalent in the UK with their 230V mains.
I have a similar theory as to why rapidly growing companies become toxic environments (of which politics and turf wars are a symptom). When a company is small and has a low profile, its employees are in it for the company. They believe in the product or service that the company is creating, and but into its mission.

When the company becomes successful and starts to grow, it starts to attract people who don't really care about the company and its mission—they are in it only for themselves. They only want to improve their lot, and are willing to play politics and backstab as required to get ahead..

If the company is only growing slowly, they can weed these types out during the interview process. But if they are growing quickly, they don't have time to interview properly and slowly and surely the company is transformed from a cooperative, mission-driven organization to one where employees are fighting against themselves.

Unfortunately these politically minded types are the ones who quickly rise up the ranks, and once most of the top areas of the company are populated by assholes, there is no cure.

Using a one time unique event as the reason for dismissing a provably valuable policy change isn’t very rational.

It would be like using a single child’s death caused by a vaccine as the reason to ban all vaccines.

Simply put, such a policy to save far more lives that it would cost, which must count for something. Or perhaps we should also stop using seatbelts and airbags.

Time to point out that the federal budget includes Social Security. This gentleman needs to convince me that this isn't an effort to balance the Social Security budget.

A lot of the old-school employers run subsidised cafeterias. Cisco used to, back in the day. Pretty decent choices and reasonable pricing, until they started whittling down options making the cafes pretty unattractive compared to surrounding eateries in Milpitas (this was during the '09 recession). I know that Apple still runs them but they are of course notoriously thrifty (I'm pretty sure they don't subsidise as heavily as others). Same with Yahoo. Not sure if we had to pay, but it was pretty reasonable. Soon after that first recession, I started seeing a trend of catered food at smaller places, and completely in-house operations at the larger places. That trend has kept up until the pandemic struck.
Do you know what "reflection" means? You're not making any sense.
For the specific request here (Classic II and current MacBook), you might be able to build an executable with Mach-O data fork and the 68k code in the resource fork. I’m not sure offhand how to make the bundle format work for current macOS, though.

But if you can make that work, you can also add classic PowerPC support, by jumping to it via a 68K CODE stub and perhaps from a separate PEF fragment stored in a section in the Mach-O that would be ignored on current macOS.

I mean, the simple answer is because they're trying to spread the use of Google login, make it ubiquitous, so they can own all authentication mechanisms too as if owning everything else isn't enough.
From early in the article:

> This [flat Msg design] does work, but at some point it becomes cumbersome to support a large number of constructors.

As guessed, I'd personally stick with the simpler flat approach the article acknowledges and then tries to improve on.

Nesting that data structure is (according to the article) an ergonomics improvement, but then the rest of the article is about how to solve ergonomics problems caused by the very nesting that was supposed to make things nicer!

Given that, surely it's reasonable to raise the question of whether this nesting was actually an improvement after all. My conclusion at the end of the article is that in retrospect nesting did more harm than good, and knowing that, I would have happily left it flat.

Incidentally, "leave it flat" is not my stance in all cases. For example, I gave a whole talk that could have been titled "when to nest" - https://youtu.be/DoA4Txr4GUs - and my most popular Elm project uses nesting in multiple places - https://youtu.be/RN2_NchjrJQ

But indeed, in this case, I'd happily leave Msg flat and not bother with all the lens stuff!
Did they know that? Like, did the executives know?

They should have been suffocating their R&D with cash, but has that happened? Instead Intel is the world leader in buying companies, dissolving them and EOLing their products. I think on more than one occasion, they bought a customer hardware company and refunded every buyer of whatever gadget that company made.
Right. So we need to pass the model for the entire app to our sub-update functions. This is the problem with the elm architecture; it requires a massive amount of boilerplate for anything more complex than a wizard.
I've never used Matrix and I'd love a replacement for Slack/Discord. But hearing "I generally steer them towards the Element clients" is going to be a huge turnoff for a lot of non-tech people.

General artificial intelligence, once we figure it out, will cause an increase in the annual economic growth more extreme than even the industrial revolution caused. Either that or a disaster, but hopefully the former.

Anyone who thinks we will run out of things to create just lacks imagination. There's so much stuff we'd really, really like to have but haven't been able to economically create yet. Medicine, body modifications, automation of all that's boring, cheaper manufacturing of everything, entertainment, recreation, transport, space habitats and almost anything else you can imagine.

> A certain bearded German economist warned that in such an economy, the state is just another apparatus of the bourgeoisie.

That bearded economist was on to something. Alas nowadays policy advocates in his tradition seem to want the bourgeoisie state to write and enforce more rules, forgetting that those rules are unlikely to benefit anyone other than an oligarch.

> pure capitalism only works in theory, never in practice.

Thats dogma and unlikely to be true.

> In the real world, disparities in money are disparities in power, which ensure things such as bailouts and more fundamentally, banking laws that are effectively a license (for some) to print free money for themselves.

Its more accurate to say that "disparities in power lead to disparities in money." Certainly there are other forms of power, like the ones people use to expropriate money and assets from those who have money and assets but less power.
Ok you've added 'fibrous' now, and to be honest of that list I've only steamed peas, but quickly realised I prefer boiling them if nothing else than because it's easier.

I tried kale in the microwave once (with a bit of water and covered in cling film (seran(?) wrap)) and it was awful.

To me at least 'stir in the microwave every minute to avoid building up hot spots' just isn't easier, I only use mine for defrosting/reheating things (I live alone so there's always multiple portions left over).

I have a friend that is mostly a vegetarian because he thinks a) the meat industry is often cruel. b) very destructive environmentally.

I'm okay with that. I don't eat veal or fish for the same reasons[1]. Veal is cruel. And fishing is horribly destructive. Where someone draws a line isn't as important as they do.

Are there any engineers here who can comment on the safety of this? I've always wanted to tackle something like this, but I'd be afraid of creating a radiation leak. I know it's realtively mundane, but I'd like to avoid cataracts and/or sterility if possible. My impression was that holes in the chassis were a no-no, which would explain why all microwaves have membrane keypads.
He's reached out to labs and learned that PCR cycles effects outcomes, see the continued conversation on twitter. (tl;dr if you cycle too many times you get false positives, citations over there)

He has also taken the longer, more accurate test, so we get to see if neg or pos are the false in this case.
Yes, it is. Yarn can be twisted in multiple sizes. High thread count fabrics use yarns that are smaller, so that they have fewer individual stands. That is why they feel smoother.
Are you talking about Atom or XScale? XScale seems the biggest missed opportunity. I can understand the thinking that being just another ARM vendor was a step down from being the owner of an architecture (AMD, and Via, notwithstanding). But with steady improvements and investment, and riding the coat-tails of fabs Intel built, Intel could have been a an actual mobile contender today.

> Also by teaching military history you actually form trust in the institution of the military.

An easy argument can be made that the pretty absurd deference the US population has for its military is harmful both to the military and the population.

For me we don't need claims of the use of military history, other then that it is history. If we measure by impact on history, military history is undeniably important.
While a gasoline ban makes sense in urban areas, a blanket province-wide ban on gasoline vehicles does not seem practical or reasonable given Quebec's geography and climate.

> The "well-regulated economy" usually implies raising the taxes for top earners

A well regulated economy usually implies that people can count on stable laws, enforceable contracts, and markets that aren't distorted by the abuse of power.

Taxation usually implies people "paying their fair share" to keep the government working, although the folks to the right often note that for the folks on the left, this usually does seem to mean always wanting to raise the taxes for top earners (and vice versa).
