When I was in jail a couple decades ago all inmates had barcoded wristbands which were scanned three times a day for accountability. On the day I was to be released I fully expected the booper to make a different sound (or something) and alert the guards that my time was up.

Nope. It beeped like normal and the guard moved on to the next inmate in line. What was I supposed to do---tell the guards that I was supposed to be released? Riiiiight. It took the actions of a guard I had befriended early on to see me later and say "What the fuck are you still doing here?" to get me out of there.
> Perhaps those items are made from a material that the manufacturers know has potential health implications and that's why they're carefully not saying what it is?

Unlikely. It's more likely that they don't know, because they didn't look too hard.

The reason it's not recyclable has nothing to do with that, though. It's not recyclable because plastic recycling is very difficult, many plastics can't be recycled, and of those that can, any contaminants will ruin an entire batch. Food is an example of such a contaminant.
I feel like there in an interesting story hiding under this comment! I would like to hear it. :)

One thing I don't understand is the absolutism around diets. Either people eat meat on every meal or none at all. Neither is healthy. Why the general discourse is dominated by these ultimates?

I eat meat once or twice per week. Works really well.

Soy is a great crop with many use casers. The chart in the article which shows different use cases is really cool. We can't say that about many other crops!
I’ve been using Cue (https://cuelang.org) as a human-friendly superset of json, and it’s a breath of fresh air. The creator is one of the original authors of GCL, Google’s core infrastructure configuration language, and you can tell he poured all the hard-earned lessons from that into Cue. Highly recommended.
> Seriously, when have you received JSON that you couldn’t immediately parse with your standard JSON parser of preference?

Every single time for any non-mediocre definition of parsing. JSON has no way to transmit the meaning of values, no datetimes, no units, no sets, nor any other semantic attribute. That means your "parsed" result is always useless and wrong on its own, literally a lesser-dimensional projection of the original information, until you interpret it again in an entirely ad-hoc custom manner. Wouldn't it be nice if you could store instructions inline for how to do that.
How much of the shift is to ev from nothing vs from scooters and mopeds?

You are understanding correct. The Australian government wanted Facebook to let news companies post their news on Facebook and Facebook to pay them for doing so. Facebook then decided that they would rather not have the companies posting on fb. This caused a massive loss of profits for the news companies so it looks like the government has backed down.

The appetite for risk in seed funding is almost entirely gone now. Two decades ago you could raise a small seed round with very little more than a good pitchdeck. Today you won't get a dime until you have an established business with significant revenue. In some ways that's quite reasonable - the barrier to getting traction is much lower now and you can build something very cheaply. It's still frustrating when people claim there's plenty of investment money around though.

To add to that internet connected device is required, but latest iPhone that costs 15x as much is not really materially more important than a $50 one for looking at job ads/emailing potential landlords.

Likewise, a flagship phone 5 years ago might be technically less advanced than a flagship phone today, but that doesn't mean todays flagship phone is any better at looking at job ads today than the other one was 5 years ago either.

This idea that we should weight technical improvements like this when judging how the economy is performing just seems like a (maybe unintentional) attempt to paint a rosier picture than actual reality to me.
I know a few long time luxury car owners and enthusiasts. They also invest in TSLA. I’ve asked them: if you invest in TSLA and you spend millions on your car collection how come you don’t own any Tesla cars? The answer is they are not perceived as luxury. They don’t have the exclusivity of a real luxury car. So therefore I don’t think we can say that electric car is luxury. It is just electric. Will there be luxury electric cars? Someday but not now. And im not sure with Lucid either

I’ve always wondered why StackOverflow didn’t implement a bounty system based on money.

I’ve regularly asked questions on SO that were too specific to get a good answer. I’d have loved to be able to just award $100 for the accepted answer.

It seemed so bloody obvious. But no, bounties are based on karma, you can’t even set a bounty if you’re a new user, and SO tries to make money as a job board...
And they failed. You proved my point.
I think more importantly, the government realized how badly Facebook could hurt their influence in the Asia Pacific region. Without Australian news on Facebook, people in nearby developing countries would be getting their international news from from other countries (china).
ARPANET, the direct predecessor for the internet, was created for collaborating, including socializing and reading. It was NOT created to "have a war-proof network for army use". The latter is a pernicious falsehood.

Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPANET :

> It was from the RAND study that the false rumor started, claiming that the ARPANET was somehow related to building a network resistant to nuclear war. This was never true of the ARPANET, but was an aspect of the earlier RAND study of secure communication. The later work on internetworking did emphasize robustness and survivability, including the capability to withstand losses of large portions of the underlying networks.[51]

See also Licklider's work with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergalactic_Computer_Network leading up to ARPANET, or his "The Computer as a Communications Device" - https://signallake.com/innovation/LickliderApr68.pdf where he describes how the network might be used:

> You will not send a letter or a telegram; you will simply identify the people whose files should be linked to yours and the parts to which they should be linked-and perhaps specify a coefficient of urgency. You will seldom make a telephone call; you will ask the network to link your consoles together,You will seldom make a purely business trip, because linking consoles will be so much more efficient. When you do visit another person with the object of intellectual communication, you and he will sit at a two-place console and interact as much through it as face to face. If our extrapolation from Doug Engelbart’s meeting proves correct, you will spend much more time in computer-facilitated teleconferences and much less en route to meetings.

and has a section titled "On-line interactive communities":

> Available within the network will be functions and services to which you subscribe on a regular basis and others that you call for when you need them.In the former group will be investment guidance, tax counseling, selective dissemination of information in your field of specialization, announcement of cultural, sport, and entertainment events that fit your interests, etc. In the latter group will be dictionaries, encyclopedias, indexes, catalogues, edit-ing programs, teaching programs, testing programs, programming systems, data bases, and—most important—communication, display, and modeling programs.

Collaboration and reading were surely some of the main goals in the vision that became ARPANET.

I'm now sitting here wondering where it decided to crash land.
I can't think of any reason a linker needs to use many libraries, especially not one that start threads. A linker reads files and writes a file. It's a single-purpose tool, not a monolithic app with many dependencies.

Either way, threads should be controlled by the application and not libraries. Well-written libraries like sqlite and Lua are parameterized by I/O and concurrency. They don't read files and start threads behind your back.
The fun part will happen when you double it again and people still agree to pay it without batting an eye.

Give it a try for your next new client. The hard part is quoting the rate with a straight face.
Cause you need not worry about the threading if you are using channels and go routines. The scheduler does it all f9r you - you just describe the data flow and the concurrency.
Wouldn't it be a lot easier to just ask a human to pick colors? By my reckoning, if you write a piece of code that's simple but generates garish colors, it's better to just pick out the colors yourself.

Why even bother teaching people about hue=(hue+0.5)%1.0 if the results are so ugly?

As a scientist I hate articles like this. Apparently putting the word “may” in the title allows one to pontificate wildly about what might be the cause of falling sperm rates and other reproductive trends.

Little to no comments about other possible causes, no data that shows a relationship between “endocrine disruptors” and sperm counts, no comments about levels of these chemicals in the population or what levels they become active at.

After reading the article all I can firmly conclude is: 1) reproductive changes are happening, 2) endocrine disruptors are suspected, but there is no direct evidence.

Not very helpful.
It's not easy, almost impossible, to do overnight. Try it one thing or habit at a time. Single out one thing which is harmful, and commit to finding and integrating a substitute.

Let's all take a moment to consider how blessed we are to have those ingredients list, by the way.

Flipping the hue 180 degrees is "correct". The problem is that they typically use HSV which is based on sRGB and thusly results in incorrect complementaries. The mathematics of harmonious color are fairly well understood, but they do not align with sRGB's encoding, so the math is effectively broken.

sRGB is a non-linear color space that's designed to encode color information for display on CRT monitors and enable low quantization of dark shades. It's not designed to be worked within.

sRGB is an "output referred" color space, which means it was specifically to display color. A "scene referred" color space is designed for manipulation of colors within the image.

Lab is a wonderful scene referred color space, but suffers from mathematical complexities that disables simple mathematical operations. The reason is that shifting a hue, for example, may describe a color that simply does not exist. (Think of it as divide by zero, but for colors.)

Then there are "perceptual" color spaces. Those are designed to enable simple mathematic relationships to produce color relationships that mirror our perception and expectations.

Oklab is one such color space that produces wonderful and quite harmonious color relationships:

This is a reflection of a crazy society that sees everything as a "product" that needs to be "advertised". If there is a scientific branch that needs no explanation of its importance is taxonomy. If a nation is stupid enough not to understand the importance of this, then it should not even label itself a modern, civilized society.

I felt super healthy for years then a variety of problems hit me at once. It started off with excessive bruising from minor bumps, headaches, then extreme tiredness. I would get small cuts and they wouldn't seem to heal, doctors baffled. A few years after that I was getting extreme pain in various joints, eventually leading to regular bursitis in the arms and legs. Yeah I know, a vegetarian diet is supposed to reduce inflammation but it didn't. I found it almost impossibly repulsive but I eventually worked up the courage to eat a pastrami sandwich and the effects were almost immediate. Various aches and pains were gone within 24 hours, I could sleep much more comfortably, a bounce returned to my step. I eat very small amounts of meat a month because I still find it a bit disgusting but I seem to be in better shape than I was 5 years ago.

> Because that is complementary color, by color theory.

If your notion of color theory is limited to RGB, then this might be reasonable. However, if you read the article that you linked (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_colors) you'll see a much wider notion of complementary colors.

Let your eyes and sense of aesthetics be the judge... most will agree that the RGB red/cyan and green/magenta pairs are garish and ugly.
Do the people in nearby developing countries speak English? Or Chinese?

Which countries are we talking about?

It seems far more likely to me that people in nearby developing countries will get their international news from locals who follow international news for professional reasons, which would be impacted not at all by whether Australian news links can be shown on Facebook.
If the overpass was the issue you'd think they would have realized that before moving the second locomotive at all. One would assume you'd at least plan out the route in advance.
I've had a dream project for years, but I have no idea how to do it. To build an accurate physical representation of the CIE 1931 xy plane. To see literally all the colors before your eyes at once. To see how far into infrared and ultraviolet your perception extends. Looking at an RGB rendering of CIE 1931 is kinda sad and makes me wonder of all the colors I've never seen.
True, but false ;)
This makes me so angry, not just because of Australia's clear attack on open web and a completely inverted value flow illusion, but also because it made me agree with Facebook on an issue (when they initially showed opposition and called Australia's bluff). Though they also went back on that, which is just disappointing to me.

Australia needs to step out of their illusion and stop shoveling snow up an avalanche. The only way to benefit from the age of internet is to embrace its realities.

I'm also curious why this didn't work when Germany tried to do it but it works when Australia does...

Buying a car. The amount of extra charges they slap on there is ridiculous. And in my state I have no choice but going through a dealership unless I buy a Tesla.

Recently though, I bought out my leased car when the lease was over. I didn't want to spend time to wait around the DMV during the pandemic so I paid a lawyer $500 to do the registration for me. That's about what a dealership would charge for a "documentation fee". Totally worth it.
The article is light on details. Do we have an idea of what the text of the amended law will say? I imagine Australians could end up with a law that says "exactly the same as before, except for Facebook" which would be very bad for everyone else.

From my understanding of the situation, there was no game.
