It is a problem of optimising for taste and perceived nutrition instead of nutrition. Humans will buy tasty things that are marketed as nutritious. Companies will try to widen the profit margin by optimising the process in that direction (investing into marketing and taste). A solution that comes to mind is providing tax relief for nutritiously rich non-luxury foods.
Agreed. That was really well presented in my opinion.

RFC4180 isn't an Internet standard. Says so right at the top in the first paragraph.

I think I have a few thousand files on my computer right now whose names end in ".csv", and I'll bet money not one of them agrees with RFC4180 to the letter except by accident of the data itself, and that's a Real Problem to me.

I can concede that two parties could agree to interchange according to RFC4180, but as a general format I maintain that for archival and interchange purposes CSV cannot be divorced from the rather complex schema I alluded to without data loss.

So we did use a lot of pandas as well. The way to make it work is to create custom types and of course each dataframe will have it's own type which is going to be a total mess.

Recital 23 of the GDPR provides some more information about when an organisation would be considered as targeting users in the EU:

"In order to ensure that natural persons are not deprived of the protection to which they are entitled under this Regulation, the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or a processor not established in the Union should be subject to this Regulation where the processing activities are related to offering goods or services to such data subjects irrespective of whether connected to a payment. In order to determine whether such a controller or processor is offering goods or services to data subjects who are in the Union, it should be ascertained whether it is apparent that the controller or processor envisages offering services to data subjects in one or more Member States in the Union. Whereas the mere accessibility of the controller's, processor's or an intermediary's website in the Union, of an email address or of other contact details, or the use of a language generally used in the third country where the controller is established, is insufficient to ascertain such intention, factors such as the use of a language or a currency generally used in one or more Member States with the possibility of ordering goods and services in that other language, or the mentioning of customers or users who are in the Union, may make it apparent that the controller envisages offering goods or services to data subjects in the Union."

That's an interesting way to see it! So is your overall take on life now a positive or a negative one? Or is it somewhere in between?

> I'm only now just starting to settle into what I see as a "decade long effort" on a new set of goals.

Goals can lead you astray, though. Sometimes you don't actually want to achieve them[0] or you do want to achieve them but don't and end up frustrated because you keep on measuring yourself against them. Or, well, you do achieve them and still end up being miserable.

Years ago I read this blog post[1] and it resonated a lot with me. Now I prefer to view my life through the problems I have or don't have, instead of the goals I have achieved or have not achieved.

It isn't being compared to all formats, it is being compared to sqlite. Some random version of one implementation written in C, stored in "fossil" may be good enough for the library of Congress, but that kind of nonsense went too far for even browser makers to take seriously.

Meanwhile it is trivial to read and infer data from formats like CSV to either use directly or automate a reading process with any tools that exist now or in the future.

There's nothing wrong with letting go of a dream. People often judge by the outcome while the value lies in the journey. The point of dreaming of something and trying to reach it is what you learn and realise about yourself while doing that. It doesn't matter if you choose to abandon your dream because you've found a new direction, new vision while working on it, you know more now and you've come to the conclusion that achieving that dream really wouldn't buy you anything worth what you've already gained by going through the process. Conversely, if you set your dream, work for it and finally achieve it but really learn nothing new of yourself to give you a clearer, better vision of your life, have you just wasted all the time on what was supposed to be the pretense for forcing yourself to go through stuff?

I should probably add that the calculations measured the amount of "product" flowing through their systems for metering / billing processes, which is even more worrying. This is the cost of deregulation/privatization of industry which has affected the UK heavily in the UK over the last 20-30 years. The focus is more about share price rather than delivering your core product/service.

Wendy: "I recently [wrote] an article on the failures of the free software movement for Logic Magazine, in a piece called Freedom Isn’t Free [2]. I agree that free software is useful as a political rallying point. As it is now, though, it doesn’t present a challenge to capital.

If we want to reclaim the radical roots of the free software movement, there needs to be a larger political project mobilising around what free software originally meant and extending that to challenge the dominance of the tech giants. It’s not easy, but there is value in the ideas behind free software. I first came across the movement when I was really young and I loved it - like, “yeah, intellectual property sucks!” The challenge is getting people who feel that way to to understand why intellectual property exists in the first place - how capitalism works, and why it needs intellectual property. From there, you have a bridge to a more radical politics."

Jason: "I see free software as one of the reasons we should unionise. I recently gave a talk at a Ruby conference on the Lucas Plan, which was well-received - everyone liked the idea of producing socially useful things. But then I shot myself in the foot by saying that the MIT license needs to die, which didn’t go over well. If you use a license like that to release software, you have no control over how your software is used. You can have all the moral codes you want, but then it’s being used 10 companies down the line by someone you don’t like.

I don’t think the solution is draconian control over software, as free software ideology is embedded in the industry. The solution is organising." [1]

All airliners (except the 787) use the same technology when it comes to air supply. They even buy the equipment from the same suppliers (engines, heat exchanger, ozone converter, packs…).

That is a great example of an actual bug, that ALL players saw, and many didn't notice at all.

The police seemly doesn't have an AI, people actually believed they didn't.

But a player happened to see a police car with cops inside (extremely rare to see that), and saved his game near, and ran several tests.

He found out if you piss off the cops, using a car (on foot they just exit the car and never climb back on), and then you hit their car with yours (shooting them doesn't work, they just go away following a pre-programmed path), they start chasing your GTA-style.

So this means they DID code the cop cars to chase the player car, but a sequence of bugs make the only way to see this content to be go out of your way to do it (you need to see cops in a car spontaneously while you are inside a car too, then run over a pedrestrian, then hit the cop car with your car).

> this may not be important for everyone

It’s of marginal importance to me, but the ability to install virtually anything on the App Store reasonably confident it’s not going to break my primary communication device or exfiltrate my data (without my permission) etc etc is of far more importance.

I rely on my phone very heavily and the fact that it reliably Just Fucking Works is much much more important than being able to — for example — run Firefox on it
the intention of that proposed solution is radical decoupling though. Think of objects being used analog to network servers. The internet doesn't go down because someone's server changes (the BEAM VM probably comes closest as far as languages are concerned).

Objects communicate messages and status and when something crashes it's up to the object to do something, often restart, but either way it's a matter of interpretation.

It's the static typing that couples because it introduces global behaviour through its types, which impose meaning from the top. In a truly dynamic system, nobody needs to understand the entire system.

I admit it's a fairly theoritcal point because I don't think many people even embrace this paradigm any more, and ironically if they do it's in functional languages. But to say it's failed I think is not right, because nowadays people write dynamic languages basically like they'd write Java, they don't embrace the dynamic aspects.
> This discussion ( https://youtu.be/Q9s6YggbTk4?t=65 ) with Azerbaijan president summarizes really well Western democracy (or hypocrisy or lets invent a new name capitalocrisy

Since when are Google, Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla examples of "Western democracy" ( as if that is some monolithic entity..)? They are private companies, and can do as they like within the legal frameworks they operate in.

Of course everyone is impotent taking actions against big, powerful, rich, heavily armed, strategically important countries. Who can say anything to China, and even more mundane - Saudi Arabia, Turkey, ffs, USA, UK, France, etc. and try to impose it? War is out of the question ( your population would probably be against it, and attacking nuclear powers isn't really a good idea; for the non-nuclear powers, they're still heavily armed, so you're still looking at a costly military affair), and economic sanctions will probably be more crippling for your country than them, and will probably strengthen their dictators' position ( country X is our enemy and doesn't want us to succeed!).

The UN isn't the world police, and can't be. It's based on all countries participating together, and complying to rules set together. The consensus can't work against countries with veto powers ( but they wouldn't have joined otherwise), or against dictators that don't care or can find a workaround/allies that will support them anyways, thus making UN decisions impossible or inapplicable.

What do you think can any world leader do? Would you support your country, whichever it is, going to nuclear war against China to free the Uighurs and kill millions in the process? Would your fellow co-citizens when that means a crash of the economy, massive job loses, serious lack of all sorts of products, not to mention all the dead and maimed soldiers? If you think a trade war might work, it probably won't, and would still heavily impact the world's economy, with countries with debts to China and Chinese-operated companies/infrastructure being caught in the crossfire.

Be realistic. The only thing that can stop China is China itself.
> why you can't have a separate air intake from bleed air

You can, the 787 does it, but it has significant drawbacks as well. Also it basically can't be retrofitted onto an existing aircraft series.

Obviously CDPR is more directed to the PC Gaming scene, where the game actually excels apart from some bugs.

Most people who critizise this game are in the gaming scene for the trends or just failed to see other RPGs being launched.

RPGs are games very complex, every one launched until now that is considered good also had a rough launch like this one (being hyped AF also didn't helped...).

Also, people shoulnd't expect a next-gen game to run well on prev-gen hardware, specially when we're speaking on the PS4 flat released back at 2013.
> I think Google saw a black female PhD and jumped to hire her. All the boxes, and a well respected PhD. So it's hard to imagine how they'd be racist against someone they head hunted and desperately wanted.

I don't think that's true. Co-optation is a concept that is well studied in sociology and political science. In fact I'd wager that a lot of the DEI initiatives are pure PR. Additionally you cannot deduce whether an entire institution is "institutionally" X or not X just because one individual behaved one way or the other. The fact that Jeff Dean hired Gebru doesn't tell you anything. Actual statistical measures, such as retention rates, percentage of work force, percentage of leadership etc. need to be consulted.

It's not that straightforward. I work in that domain and the general consensus is that the 787 system is about as efficient as a conventional bleed system would be. It doesn't offer any significant efficiency advantage.

The mechanical power offtake affects the engine fuel consumption less than the equivalent bleed offtake, but on the other hand their system is significantly heavier, and creates a lot more drag.

Basically, the engine compressor is the best compressor you will find aboard. To provide air supply you need pressurized air. So it makes sense to directly take the compressed air you already have with that excellent compressor.
With their bleedless system they add 2 large extra electrical compressors, and 2 large extra air intakes (to take the air to be compressed). So of course there are advantages to the electrical route, but efficiency isn't a given.

The article seems somewhat on the fluff-and-feathers side. It doesn't really explain anything. The only non-obvious thing it says is:

> Robinhood receives a fixed rate per spread (vs. a fixed rate per share by the other eBrokers). Rather than receiving simple payment by volume, Robinhood receives a percentage of the spread between the bid and the ask in each trade. This is interesting because while HFT proponents insist their practices narrow spreads, some critics maintain that high-frequency trading ends up widening spreads.

Unfortunately, what this excerpt claims as "interesting" makes no logical sense. The fact that RH is paid by HFT on the spread would suggest that HFT like to get order flow in stocks that already have a large spread. It is completely unclear how this is related to the claim that HFT tend to increase the spread.

The "traditional" interpretation is that HFT make money from creating liquidity. This means they take illiquid stocks (with large spread) and make them liquid (reducing the spread). Since they make money doing that, they are willing to pay for orders in illiquid stocks.

Is this the correct interpretation? I have no clue. But it seems the article's author has even less clue, and adds nothing of value to the discussion.
It is true mainly because if you forget about the clock your opponent will run it down after some initial courtesy :)

For me `navigator.deviceMemory` was the most surprising bit. (Slightly) fortunately though it only returns 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 or 8 (GiB), so it is not a big information gain compared to other sources (it would be highly correlated to the screen size for example).

The GDPR is a regulation (hence the R at the end) not a directive.

It became UK law as soon as it was passed by the EU, and it didn't need to be implemented in to UK law.

The UK has already passed their amendments to the GDPR,[0] which will effectively fork it into the "UK GDPR". These will come in to force on the 1st of January.

There's a "Keeling Schedule" available[1], which is effectively a diff between the EU GDPR and the UK GDPR.
