> but even the evaporated vapor from a pot of simmering soup can make it momentarily angry

Yeap. Not sure what type of sensor it has, but it will react to water vapor. Our master bedroom is right next to the bathroom so showering will cause it to work at its highest setting.

Not that it's a problem per-se. Just that it doesn't really "know" what's in the air. So while your cooking may indeed be spewing pollutants everywhere, the fact that the filter is working harder doesn't mean the air is bad.

That said, humidity needs to be controlled too.

What is interesting is, cooking downstairs will set it off. I have two humidity sensors, and they can't see any difference. Still the filter will start to work and I can't claim it's because of water vapor. It some other type of particulate, harmful or not. It's getting filtered anyway.
If it helps ensure the diversity of ISP competition in the US market, then yes. $886m is a bargain if it helps meaningfully with that (assuming it's not a frequent subsidy).

There is a large difference between putting up a few percent of their constellation to reach initial minimum viability and putting up enough satellites to properly cover the rest of the world (a very expensive endeavor that will take years).

Plus, the US Government may directly benefit in a very big way from utilizing Starlink and that may make it a bargain compared to the alternatives. If US defense contractors were building that constellation, they'd be spending ten times what SpaceX is.

And that's before we get to the potential for intelligence gathering globally. The powers that be will be all over that, no matter what SpaceX claims to the contrary (SpaceX will have a gun to their head and will not have a choice, just as the Prism gang had no choice).
If you hit <esc> at just the right time you can get it before the article disappears.
I wonder how that would work performance wise since I assume comments sections on blogs are loaded many many more times than they are edited so you would want some super fast caching on it.

I guess anything is possible with custom code though.
Wait, what? By that measure, if say Facebook or Twitter delete your account, all links to your blog should be blocked from being posted on those sites? Yeah, don't think so!
Potatoes contain 60-80% starch. They are generally low in other nutrients, especially protein.

Then you say "however they're often consumed with excess fat" --- yes that's the only way they can be reasonably consumed because they taste like powdered chalk.

I didn't know who Jeff Dean is, other than the fact that he is another AI researcher at Google. My work involves low-latency network drivers, not at all the field of AI.

Fine, there are AI stars too, but the article could lead about what they have done and why they are important no? A discussion involving Jim Keller would lead to his contributions to x86, Apple A10 series, Tesla chips and Zen.

I don't want a hand wavy discussion over ethics and AI, I want an explanation as to what they have contributed to the field that justifies why their opinion matters.

>Why are you trying to establish some "level" distinction between Damore and Gebru.

I am trying to establish that these random individuals don't matter to me. They are not known for their tech contributions but for the dirty laundry being exposed to the public.

These individuals from an external perspective seem to be known for being employed at Google and for some public controversy that cannot be influenced externally.

My point is why are these individuals in the news? Why should I care? They aren't industry leaders and from my perspective appear about as important as 'GE fires engine tester'.
They are 60-80% starch (carbs) by dry weight. They have a bad reputation for a reason.
At the end of the day you cannot underestimate the value of being surrounded by high caliber people and how it will impact you. People will always have to pay a premium for that. Which is why cities like SF and NYC will always have a draw for young and ambitious people who don't mind living in rat holes.

Ok, but I think your examples are specific to the social sciences where the method used is not sufficiently close to the scientific method to be reliable enough. Hence you're likely to see systemic biases in junior and senior authors alike as the field may not converge to "truth".

But in fields that the method is closer to science (e.g. physics, chemistry, neuroscience), I would expect that the overall field is converging to the truth and that senior authors will therefore be more tuned in to the best estimate of truth or how to get to it than junior authors.

It's not as pronounced here in WA as it is in say Nevada. But, things that I see in WA, off the top of my head (not all government policy):

1 - anti-housing like you say. You see lots of signs in my neighborhood wishing against more-dense housing, despite (relatively) astronomical pricing. At least in Seattle, we do have an issue where we're constrained by water so there isn't a lot of places to build that aren't very far out. So density really is the only solution if you're going to keep computes reasonable. The only people who can afford to buy the existing not-dense housing have a ton of money or income (or both). A >$1m SFH is just not affordable in a city where median household income is $100k.

2 - push against increasing property tax. Sort of a corollary to the housing bit. Which gets doubly odd because we have no income tax in WA. Weirdly regressive.

3 - the strange and ineffectual CA-style push against "assault rifles" as the main item of gun control, despite the fact that all rifles nation-wide kill ~300/yr while pistols kill 30,000/yr, 10k of which are homicide. I say ineffectual because Amdahl's law is a thing, so even if you did magically disappear all riles in the country, it would have a ~1% impact on gun violence.

4 - restaurants heating the out of doors. This spiked a lot with coronavirus so it's hard to talk about now. (This might also be me projecting because I myself am an implant from the Midwest (yes I am a hypocrite), and heating the out of doors is just complete insanity to me)

5 - Many more good restaurants in general though. Sadly, still not a lot of good mexican restaurants.

6 - a change in coffee styles. Take from that what you will, people are kinda religious about it here.

It's really hard to pick out what's actually influenced by CA implants, vs what is just homegrown.

Twitter Wants to Use Wikipedia to Help Determine Who Gets a Blue Checkmark
As a daily user of IntelliJ IDEA—which, IME, has the best autocomplete and code suggestions of any IDE for dynamically typed languages—there is a world of a difference between the quality of suggestions for a codebase using TypeScript and one written in vanilla JS. Without concrete types, the IDE often has to guess the possible type(s) that a value can have, whereas with TS, there is (generally) no such ambiguity.

Pails: PHP MVC Framework you've never heard of
On March 14, 2014, I started building an MVC application development framework in PHP that I called "Pails." After using it and maintaining it on and off of almost seven years, it still holds its own against the well known frameworks like #laravel and #cakephp and #codeigniter, despite being a small fraction of the size and complexity.

So I made a video about it...

> The capital requirements are overwhelming in many cases for a traditional startups, leaving the only other option as local/municipal votes, which have been successful in some areas.

I disagree. Especially today, capital is highly abundant and dirt cheap. The markets are starved for yield on any sort of fixed income product, especially when it's secured by tangible assets with predictable cash flows. Every day the market sees new successful covenant-lite bond and loan sales raised with payback periods measured in decades.

The larger issue is that many municipalities explicitly enforce the local cable co's monopoly. This takes the form of exclusive "pole attachment" contracts. The local governments took kickbacks from the first broadband company that came along. For a quick payday upfront, they screwed their constituents out of any sort of competitive marketplace.
I read a theory once that one of the reasons why so many Boomers were able to buy land or houses cheaply that later appreciated substantially in value was the interstate highway system built during WWII. Suddenly, a lot of real estate was in easy driving range of employers, and so there was a period of over-supply of highly desirable real estate.

I wonder if Starlink (and changes in work expectations due to the pandemic) will have a similar effect; a lot of rural land that people might have been inclined to move to if only they had some way to do their work remotely is now suddenly a realistic option.
Wood heat is cheap, makes me exercise more, and it clears out wildfire fuel near my home. So it's really a no brainer for me.

Anyone who says coding interviews don't work has never made the mistake of hiring someone who can't code. I've done it before -- someone who looks great on paper, interviews well but can't code their way out of a paper bag. I have no clue how or why they are in this industry, but I will never again let someone off the hook without demonstrating that they can code.

I don't want to hire people who think coding is beneath them or are so far removed from the actual tech that they can't code anymore.
lmao a CLI dating app now you’re thinking!
This whole question of resigned or fired seems like such a weird one. It's getting so much debate! I think everybody understands that she gave an ultimatum that included a "or else I will resign." I think everybody understands that Google responded with a "you are out as of now" that took her by surprise.

And yet there are a bazillion articles debating what verb best describes that pair of events. I get that there is legal relevance, and let the lawyers argue that one. But the rest of this seems to be a court of public opinion thing, in which case it should have no relevance given that everyone is agreed on the facts. Why do we care so much about the one-word linguistics of it? How about you just don't use a single verb alone, and instead spend the literally two sentences it takes to explain that part?
It's certainly a factor, but "temporary" concerns are probably not significant enough to cause people to move. Moving is a big ordeal unless you are young and can pack everything you own into a car.

My former Personal Ad (Currently for amusement only.)
Ahh, sorry. I think I mis-read your comment. I thought you were questioning the existence of free-wheeling culture in CA.

As to why CA, I don't think there is any one reason. The weather and geography are huge. It was a lightly populated state in the 1950s, so real estate was much cheaper than on the heavily populated east coast (big for both start ups and 'artistic' types). And the gold rush mentality is/was pervasive, which I personally think leads to a government and culture that is generally supportive of start ups and small businesses. While CA has a reputation for being unfriendly to businesses, the taxes and regulations are largely targeting big businesses. So that leaves more room for small start ups to compete.
It seems society's tolerance for mortal danger depends more on the cause of the risk than its magnitude. I guess the occasional gas accident is one of the acceptable reasons for people to die.
I still prefer anticheat to having a multiplayer game ruined by players that move at 10x normal speed and dual-wield fully automatic, infinite-ammo sniper rifles rigged to never miss.

It seemed like she was totally opposed to the basic concept of Google actually -- uses a huge amount of electricity, uses AI which is based on massive uncurated (biased) datasets, etc. Has a ton of white men working there and basically gives the equivalent of a "are you really a CS genius" bar exam to anyone who applies, so that even some developers with massive open source user-bases can't "qualify". Which makes affirmative action even harder in a field that is already very diversity-challenged. So to me it's amazing that she worked there for more than a week.

Opting in is a different story, and I don't object to an individual broadcaster choosing to do this.

If you stream speedrun attempts, a block of ads every 30 minutes probably isn't going to cause viewers to miss anything of significance, so it's probably safe to flip that switch. Of course, when the ads show up at the wrong time in that case, it's probably very upsetting.

But if you stream a show with banter between hosts, and you already manually run ads every hour while preparing for the next segment of the show, and you still get interrupted in the middle of the dialogue by an ad? That's horrible.

If you stream a competitive game (DotA, LoL, Overwatch, Warzone, etc), and your amazing comeback from behind gets interrupted by an ad, you're going to lose both short term and long term revenue.

Long term because viewers will get frustrated and leave. Short term because viewers seeing a great play are more likely to donate and gift subscriptions to celebrate the moment. But if they don't actually see it, you can't get that hype train started, and you lose out and so does Twitch.
