There can be many "basic features" in a large framework that can't be made more intuitive without making the other features less intuitive.

Just because there are some unintuitive edge cases which you can identify in a technology doesn't mean the technology is "wrong". Pick your favourite technology and I am sure you can find many such unintuitive edge cases if you purposefully look for them.
It’s very interesting to me how often communism ends up looking like fascism, and yet many people are very open and tolerant of the former while absolutely petrified of the latter. Violent authoritarians concern me in general, and I take little comfort in them being left-wing, rather than right-wing, authoritarians.

EDIT: Lots of downvotes and no rebuttals. Looks like I inadvertently struck a nerve.
Sigh. Nobody has cancelled Dr. Seuss. The publisher has decided not to publish a small number of his works which contain some stereotypes and characterisations which are pretty far from what most people would see as "fine" now. Nobody has made them do this, nobody is going round collecting and burning copies already in print. Many books stop being published all the time for all kinds of reasons - being out of step with contemporary mores and experiences is, and always has been, one of them.

B12-deficient crowd here—not just mental health. The potential impact a lack of B12 can have on you physically is catastrophic.

I have to be mindful that I make myself eat a steak once in a while. On a regular day my skin lacks a lot of colour these days. If I forget to eat the right things I start to fog up, emotions waver, mood falters, and can even get clumsy. (Couple this with some latent pancreatic problems and it's worse)

The unfortunate thing about it, is it tends to progress even if you're making an effort unless you're making enough of an effort and it can be so creeping and insidious as to leave you unaware until you've done irreparable harm to yourself, either by diet or a physical defect.

This article is a joke, starting with "If populism on the political right corrupts democracies, populism on the left ruins economies.". It really sets the tone and bias.. Maybe someone should introduce to Bloomberg the concept of gentrification.. The only difference between the rent cap and no rent cap is that now there are affordable places.. the prices were already ridiculous pre-rent cap.

I've been thinking about this. There's two reasons people don't want to pay for free things: one, obviously, because they don't want to spend money; but, two, because there's friction associated with signing up to pay. If we made a law that said services like Google have to charge at least $0.01 to use, then we'd force providers and consumers to overcome the second hurdle without much cost, and make it easier for the first hurdle to be overcome over time.
I very much doubt this.

I think the main difference is that the companies and experts who decide on our behalf what is, and is not, fake news tend to be more sympathetic to the left wing than to the right wing. There aren't a lot of conservatives working in tech, media, and academia.

The result of this is that a much wider swath of right-wing content is likely to get labelled as fake news in the first place, even things that may be in a gray area or under honest dispute.
Suddenly Facebook becomes a more valuable company than Google. People willingly give Facebook all kinds of juicy data that they have no problem selling ads for. Unless there is some kind of heavy penalty for this behavior (that can't become a "cost of doing business" and passed onto other businesses), all of these changes will just make Facebook more profitable.
False. The company that sells the books decided to cease publication and sales.

> Six Dr. Seuss books — including “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” and “If I Ran the Zoo” — will stop being published because of racist and insensitive imagery, the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy said Tuesday.

> The other books affected are “McElligot’s Pool,” “On Beyond Zebra!,” “Scrambled Eggs Super!,” and “The Cat’s Quizzer.”

> The decision to cease publication and sales of the books was made last year after months of discussion, the company, which was founded by Seuss’ family, told AP.

from what i recall that's the way to go:

You can use this to extend the definition of exponentials as "repeated addition" from allowing only natural numbers expoonents to allowing positive rational numbers. Afterwards you can "complete" this to allow real exponents.

But this requires some hard maths to do rigorously.
I've been trying out the latest master builds of pipewire recently and have been pretty impressed with it:

* My bluetooth headset can now use the HFP profile with the mSBC codec (16 kHz sample rate) instead of the terrible CVSD codec (8 kHz sample rate) with the basic HSP profile.

* Higher quality A2DP stereo codecs, like LDAC, also work.

* AVDTP 1.3 delay reporting works (!!) to delay the video for perfect A/V sync.

* DMA-BUF based screen recording works with OBS + obs-xdg-portal + pipewire (for 60fps game capture).

For my use cases, the only things still missing are automatic switching between A2DP and HFP bluetooth profiles and support for AVRCP absolute volume (so that the OS changes the headset's hardware volume instead of having a separate software volume).
Windows Mobile came with a regular browser for years before the iPhone.
There was nothing crazy about first iPhone's specs either, pretty in line with the rest of the market.
While it wasn't big with regular consumers, WM had a decent smartphone market share at the time (Windows Phone would never come close). Amongst executives, managers and the likes, it was absolutely dominating.
When it first came out, many WM users (including Microsoft) considered the iPhone to be a joke. At best, another player in a crowded market. Sure, people liked some features. But they were considered easy-to-replicate gimmicks (and many were indeed quickly copied by enthusiasts). WM was way ahead as a platform. iOS didn't even let you install apps! Apple PCs/laptops were fairly niche at the time too. It wasn't obvious how Apple had a defensible advantage.

Quite frankly, I still tend to think it's as much about Apple knocking it out of the park with the UX (and marketing), as it is about Microsoft doing literally everything wrong in response. WM could have become what Android is today.
Did you just link me to a Medium article written by some NYU "research group"? Just to be clear, thats New York University, one of the most liberal places on the planet.
Well how would you explain any of the Nordic countries if you thought there was a connection between GDP and Unionization? Norway has 70% of their workers covered by a Union contract and has a higher GDP per capita than the US. Along with some of the lowest levels of inequality of any nation.
Pretty easy to say that when you pretend the “Fake News” coming from the other side is just the truth lmao. They outright lie for months to influence election results as well, but it’s fine when they do it because they’re the mainstream lie I guess.

But let’s say the categorization isn’t the issue and right wing propaganda really does get more engagement. Why? Maybe because they’re naturally conspiratorial/paranoid etc. But I think partly because there’s a growing feeling that something is wrong and that there is this false reality & narrative built up around us. Even right wing propaganda that’s clearly bullshit speaks to this underlying feeling & that may be why people engage with it.

But I was actually thinking of the vitriol heaped on various celebrities here on this forum for words which, when I read them, did not seem deserving. This behavior does concern me.

> I expect the deduction to disappear in the near future as most people discover it doesn't apply to them only the rich.

Nah. Two big reasons I can think of: people don't understand tax policy and wealthy people benefit (just less so in Blue states).

The first point is pretty straight forward. Lots of people talk about how things are "tax deductible" without even considering whether or not the deductions apply to them. Even if the IRS published that 85% (number made up) of people took the new standard deduction, thus used no deductions, you'd be hard-pressed to convince most people to get rid of the mortgage interest deduction. People in general (even smart ones) are just irrational when it comes to tax deductions.

Secondly, the mortgage interest deduction is still used by relatively wealthy people. A $600k mortgage generates >$16k in interest payments in the first year, even at the low rates we have today. That's easily enough to clear the standard deduction (for a single person). For married people, the hitting the SALT limit with that mortgage is enough to cross the threshold.
I assume Rosetta 2 is downloaded as a .pkg installer on first use. Perhaps someone can capture the URL from network logs on a clean install. There might also be a way to find the files from the filesystem, if there is an "installer receipt" that lists what files were included in it.

Hopefully someone is able to look into this, as it probably isn't too difficult to do as an insurance policy.
Haha yes exactly! The issue is that the list of people you have worked with and can trust without some vetting process turns out not to be that long. So after a while, you run out of those people and have to resort to some kind of interviewing if you need dozens of hundreds of engineers.
Independent audits I could understand, but open-source? That's a big fraction of their "secret sauce". I don't know if that's a reasonable ask.
burning carbon creates CO2, which would then get broken down back into oxygen (either by plants or directly by sunlight according to the article).
The point is - there really is no animal welfare in the factory farm industry.

We want the cheapest meat - don't care how. Caring for an animal's welfare is counter to that.

If demand for meat goes down it means environmental damage is reduced and fewer animals have to be born, which means fewer animals have to suffer.
I'm not saying they used that tactic - but that the use of such tactics shouldn't be allowed.

No. Having a taboo book in your zoom credibility bookshelf is a very bad idea.
Speaking of, this flipping methodology doesn't feel like the most natural to me. Just from the initial diagram I'd imagined myself putting aside sheet 1 in a new stack, then sheet 2 on top, and so on, every new sheet going on top of the previous one and facing forward. And then upon arriving to the last sheet you flip the whole stack over.
> It saddens you that more people can communicate?

I literally didn't say that or imply that at all :)

In fact, I think that easier communication is actually a good thing. What saddens me is that realistically it will probably be too challenging to maintain the daily use of all those languages, and eventually they will all succumb to history.

Hey firekvz, very interesting to hear a take on crypto from someone who actually knows what's happening on the ground. I was wondering if you'd be interested in having a chat for a policy paper I am working on. It would be beyond helpful because as you said the media and a lot of major research paints a very different picture.

> On the contrary, this enables poor people to go to university and stop being poor.
I remember a small story, decades ago, about a company/univeristy which was left holding the bag when the government cancelled their contract. They were constructing a lens system to go into a satellite which could purportedly read the issue date on a dime lying on the sidewalk. It was something like $15M. The implication was that the government had found something even better, and gone with that instead. If Google is publicly giving up on a particular, unpopular technology to buy some PR, I strongly suspect that they've already figured out something which will work "better" behind the scenes.

There's a lot of confusion over what this story is actually saying, and, given the obscurity with which Google deals with it's tech, I don't think this is going to get cleared up, leaving room for a lot of speculation. But one thing is absolutely certain: There's no possible way that Google is going to make a change to their biggest money maker that would make them LESS money. Maybe that just means that they consider their duopoly enough of a barrier that advertisers will be forced to accept less-targeted marketing, but I doubt it...
That, and end users need to control - preferably democratically - all of it.
> At the moment left-wing positions on contentious issues are less in conflict with available facts

That really depends on the issue in question. Climate change? Yes, the left is living in reality more so than the right. How gender relates to biology? I'd say the right is more grounded in reality on this one.
The endgame is like the burning of The Library of Alexandria. 2000 years from now scholars (assuming there are any) will talk of a "missing civilisation" that mysteriously left no cultural traces.

I don’t see why the distribution of anything would be “equitable”, outside of a communist utopia/dystopia. These days that word is mostly used by people exploiting the empathy of others to gain power for themselves.

Innovation in wage theft or shirking of regulations/tax evasion is not innovation. Amazon built itself on ignoring expenses and processes everyone else has had to deal with for ages.

Props to em for having a logistics network, but if the abuse of their workforce is what keeps them competituve, I'd frankly prefer their collapse, as I'm not sure the distribution model we've settled on now is any better than what it replaced given the way it's adversely effected local brick and mortars.

I'd rather everybody have a shot at being a distributor than only a single monolithic company outcompeting by ignoring half the pre-reqs of business.

That bargaining activity component is called an “agency fee”, and companies also can’t make it mandatory in right to work states. You may be thinking of public sector unions, where mandatory agency fees were often assessed until they were ruled unconstitutional in 2018.
Note that there is no secrecy during court proceedings in the Netherlands: court proceedings are ordinarily open to the public. There are exceptions for family affairs (such as divorces), tax affairs, and criminal cases against minors, but otherwise you are free to watch a court proceeding if you like.

The only secrecy is after court proceedings, and even then, only as far as for the identities of the people are involved: court rulings are regularly published online at https://uitspraken.rechtspraak.nl/, easily searchable, with just the names of people and identifying information redacted.

Just look to biology for the answers, its there if you pay attention.

The leader of a wolf pack gets first pickins at a kill, and it always eats the liver first.

Large carnivores elsewhere eat organs first as well.

There's a growing body of research for something that's being called the "carnivore" diet, and there's a sub-movement called "eating nose-to-tail" that seems to be, as best as I can tell, led by a physician named Dr. Paul Saladino, M.D., although the usual suspects are always on his podcast, or he's on theirs and/or associated with him: Dr. Dominic D'Agostino, Dr. Shawn Baker, M.D., etc.

Its basically exactly what you would expect... eating a lot of heart, liver, kidneys, along with skeletal muscle, etc.. I tried to do it, but I love things like french fries, roasted potatoes, roasted Brussel sprouts, etc. way too much. The biomarkers on this diet look amazing, but its always the same "problem". The people who are evangelical about eating this way are also huge into fitness, oftentimes spending an hour or more a day exercising.

I'd like to see 100 total lazy fatasses on a nose-to-tail carnivore diet and 100 total lazy fatasses on a vegetarian diet for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years, and do weekly workups on them... blood pressure, fasting glucose, post-prandial glucose, and so on.

AFAIK deno ships with "test" as a sub command - having access to mock/spy seems reasonable in that context. It sort of follows from the "batteries included".

Plants require a certain temperature range to live (and also replenish CO2 slower than digging up and burning the carbon). And the sun directly is not very effective at producing oxygen. No discovered planet or exoplanet has an oxygen concentration like the Earth’s because it takes photosynthesis to be so extremely far from chemical equilibrium. UV dissociation just isn’t enough to get several psi of oxygen.
