The person I was responding to was saying over the past 15 years, being fit and muscular became the norm, and my link was intended to show data where 9 years ago, a third of US 20 to 39 aged people were obese.

And if you’ve traveled around the US, you can simply see there is practically zero risk of classifying a material number of people as obese when they are actually just muscular and healthy. Or you can look at accompanying data for heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension.

You haven’t really given AppleTV+ a fair shake. There are some great shows and movies on the service. Ted Lasso, Dickenson, Wolfwalkers, etc. It’s on the low price side of streaming services and a free year is included with many product purchases. I wouldn’t call that a failure by a long-shot.
This is interesting. Glad to see matlab being phased out.
Volunteers aren't conscripts. Surely you know this.

Non-apartheid-type governments by definition do not have laws that discriminate by race.

Both Apartheid South Africa and contemporary Israel had and have laws explicitly preventing an emormous fraction of their society from every getting near military hardware.

Again, for the same reason.

I personally couldn't care, but the OP was falsely stating that Israel had no race defined laws in common with Apartheid South Africa.

[They have a few more in common, but this was one example I chose].
It’s not the case that Google Cloud products are the same as the tools used internally. For example, Borg was never publicly released. Kubernetes is an open source project intended for public use.

'few dozen' is what like 3 dozens? Assuming its a problem only in 36 markets. Wouldn't that be a 'national problem' ? 36 markets should covers a majority of population in the country.
the nassim taleb heuristic here comes in handy:

When solicited for charity funding on the literal street, usually by a young person, he always asks the that young person

"are they paying you to work here?"

If yes, he won't donate. The simple logic is, if the charity's mission is strong enough, someone will volunteer his/her own time to solicit donations. Being paid to stand there is a signal (a filter) that the cause is not strong enough. Therefore, you pass.

Sure, if you are playing a new game. I suppose if you like to dabble in huge games that are 10s of gigs in size that might be a problem.

I've found this works so much better than reaching for state management libraries off the bat. Most of the time it's overkill and the complex state transforms really only affect a few parts of the application, in which case useContext and useReducer can help immensely.

Learning the built-in React features goes a longer way than specific state management libraries if you're starting out. I'm really wary of anyone selling a specific set of libraries as being the way for beginners to go, unless they're tackling apps that have very specific state management needs.

I think both of these events together undermined people's general faith in governments to accomplish large scale projects. The two largest superpowers each failed in a big way at a task which should have been within their capabilities.

It shook the assumptions and foundations of modernity and we lurched closer to overvaluing the virtual accomplishments of economic growth and financialization. Wealth is being used to create more wealth, it is not serving any productive purpose, directly or indirectly:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financialization#Roots

>In the United States, probably more money has been made through the appreciation of real estate than in any other way. What are the long-term consequences if an increasing percentage of savings and wealth, as it now seems, is used to inflate the prices of already existing assets - real estate and stocks - instead of to create new production and innovation?

We kept trying after the Apollo 1 fire, we didn't really keep trying after Challenger or Chernobyl. Instead of trying to accomplish truly great and difficult things, we became satisfied with making numbers go up on a Bloomberg terminal.
Agreed that Docs, Drive, GSuite are all a real enterprise businesses

YouTube though is video ads, and Maps is local ads. I think that reinforces the author's point.

(Open source projects like Tensorflow, Flutter, K8s are nice spin-offs but they're not going to command the same amount of attention or resources as revenue-generating products.)
> Also is there a way to search for an app that is installed or should I still browse a long list and play "finding nemo"?

The iPhone does have a search for apps. Plus they now also will group your apps into categories on the last screen.

And apps like Google Photos on the iPhone do upload photos in the background.
I maintain that we don’t need this article to be true to debate with the response about assuming good intent, precisely because ”assume good intent” is a statement on its own and it is being positioned as general advice, therefore it is independent of the facts of the article. I get what you’re saying but I don’t think it’s relevant because no one is really picking sides between Google and the former employee.
Under Pressure, Biden Orders Review of U.S. Chip Supply Shortage
I agree with this statement. Just it is not there didn't mean it is not around. There is a many scientific journals sites out there. In my field, I have access to journals way back to 1880s. However they are split among three sites; JSTOR, Sage and one of Elsevier largest competitor (I forgot the name). Just talk to the librarian, they have so much resources and will get the journal for anyone who need it.
Because you have to pay something to live somewhere (that's how gravity + weather works) there's a cost.

If you own vs rent you transfer that payment stream into servicing an asset. Assuming the asset goes up that's generating an implicit cash flow (one you will have access to later when you sell the asset).

If you can buy your house with cash then your "housing" cash stream is suddenly freed to be spent elsewhere, so you "gain" a cash flow you didn't previously have.

You can make a fair argument that this is a semantic quibble or one of the usual human self-deceptions but this is how people implicitly think of it.

So I did pop back in and check it out. Sounds like an interesting framework for spec'ing out scenarios in a way that doesn't involve a ton of spreadsheets. Is this a formalization of some of those processes that you've spent time on in the past? This wants to be a "I wish I could review some of my portfolio around tail risk or weird DCF values without a weekend of effort", right?

Thanks for clarifying on the popup.
>To be fair we're in one of the worst chip shortages in a long time, GPUs are supposed to be like 3-600 for low to early high range.

What's your point exactly? The recently released PS5 and Xbox Series X had launch prices of $400-$500 in the U.S.

So, even without the chip shortage, GP's point about the GPU alone costing more than a console still stands.
Ok, I will ask. What is "DWeb-native"? Is it distributed through IPFS or similar? Given that I access the website through HTTP does that mean the content is accessed through a gateway of some sort? Is it blockchain related? I'm at loss here.

Please don't assume that people know what you're talking about when you use some new-ish terminology like this.

Edit: for info I looked at https://getdweb.net/ for a few minutes and I'm still not sure what DWeb is supposed to be.
That's interesting, I'd not seen that video before.

I have the excellent book and bio on Heaviside titled Oliver Heaviside: The Life, Work, and Times of an Electrical Genius of the Victorian Age by Paul J. Nahin. I'm not suggesting you buy it but it's a good reference to look up when you're next in a library.

Also, it's a very worthwhile exercise to download copies of Heaviside's books from the Internet Archive (there are about five or so and several come in multiple volumes). They're all out of copyright so they won't cost anything.

I'm not suggesting you read them through seriously but if you just peruse them for a while then you'll soon learn what a genius he was.

Within minutes, you'll get the message that he doesn't abide fools well and that he was not averse to making side comments in his textbooks (actually I find that aspect of his writing interesting because you get the gist of how he's thinking), but overall you'll be taken aback at his rigor. These books were written around 120-140 years ago, if you put them under a modern cover and you weren't overly famimiar with the subject then you could be forgiven for thinking that they were written yesterday.

Remember Heaviside also invented vector calculus and much of the modern electrical terminology such as impedance, conductance, admittance, permeability and permittivity, etc. It's amazing, but these terms are all now commonplace in our testbooks. I cannot recall of any other person who has introduced so many new scientific terms to science and engineering as Heaviside did.

You're correct, he was eccentric especially towards the end of his life. I reckon I'd likely have had an argument with him within minutes of meeting him but that's irrelevant here, it's the content of technical mind that we're interested in. Remember, he wasn't the only genius with an awkward temperament, from many accounts Issac Newton was likely much worse - and often petty minded into the bargin.

> The grid is already in trouble in places where it makes little economic sense to keep it reliable

This is why regulation is needed and competition on the lowest level of infrastructure a bad idea.

In Germany, we have a legal mandate (per §36 EnWG, https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/enwg_2005/__36.html) for the dominant local utility to provide the core gas and electricity network upon which the customer can choose any utility to provide gas and electricity (with this utility then paying a set rate for using the network to the local utility). Additionally, §11 EnWG (https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/enwg_2005/__11.html) forces all network-operating utilities to keep their network operation "safe, reliable and free of discrimination" - and the authority BNetzA has the legal power to actually enforce this.

Events like the shoddy maintenance that led to a number of wild fires in California or the lack of winterization that led to the Texas debacles in 2011 and 2021 simply would not happen here.
I disagree strongly that their software is terrible. My iPhone is bombproof, and I strongly believe that part of their success has been in making these phones easy to use, every time. My parents and people like them don't have time for bugs or quirks - they will take reliability and ease of use over hackability and the latest features every single time.
There are also advantages to union types. For example, a Union{T1, T2} can be narrowed to just T1 (by the compiler or the user) without being a breaking change - indeed, the compiler is free to do exactly that in Julia.

In contrast, in Rust, the compiler can't look at a function that produces an Option<T>, decide that in this case, it will always return a Some(T), and then have it return a T instead. That happens all the time in Julia.

And also, sum types take more boilerplate code to use than union types.

In my opinion, sum types are more useful for static analysis, union types are more useful for ease-of-use.
Junk entertainment (social media, programmed streaming, etc) is going to be the bane of humanity.

Junk food + Junk entertainment doesn’t add up to a productive society.

It seems like advanced economies, on average, are suffering from obesity as well as decline in brainpower.

Even China can’t avoid this and I don’t see them clamping down on things that keep their population “busy”.

Bifurcation in education and intellect will just add to the economic divide.
I don't know what point you're trying to make with that link. The US normally sanctions countries committing human rights violations, it doesn't typically fund them. Israel is an outlier there.

Yes. Well, kind of. More accurate to say shortage of MDs in specific specialties. DOs are much more likely to go into family/general practice/pediatrics/etc.

I kind of expect that long-term lots of DOs will be replaced by NPs and PAs. I've been to medical appointments three times this year and only saw a Doctor once. Got excellent care each time.
Is this anything besides a static website that could be hosted on S3 just as well? Seems like you're just using Actions to compile the static assets, which is probably not as good as doing it locally.
Which is basically what the US does for nuke reactors.

When was that? I spent quite a bit of time on PS1, then PS3, and then PS4, and enjoyed my share of that sweet 24 FPS "cinematic" experience. That heavy post-processing as an attempt to hide the (sometimes extremely) low texture resolution. The atrocious load times.

Never again.

> Is it just because the dosage is too low?

Or too high. If you get enough of some vitamins in your diet, you don't want or need a supplement for them. And some deficiencies are sufficiently bad that you need a much higher dosage. I don't know if it's been undiagnosed for a while or if it's a combination of COVID isolation + winter, but my vitamin D is very low (found out last week) so I'm on a very high dose vitamin D supplement for the rest of this month before another test to see if it's improved.
Another parallel between our countries is that we both have "centrists" in power that are actually rather on the far-right... well, that happens when all young and progressive minds leave for greener fields. :(
> And it's quite tightly bound to their particular UI tool, which makes keeping the models in git possible but somewhat quirky.

I couldn't find a way of tracking the TLA+ Toolkit's files nicely in git, but with a bit of manual work it's possible, using the `tlc-bin` CLI[0]. I used the TLA+ Toolkit to write the spec[1], but wrote the models by hand (eg. [2]).

This was before I heard of the VS-Code extension. I think it's quite good now, so there might be a better workflow that avoids the TLA+ toolkit altogether.

> What I'd honestly like more is to be able to make some files which could be compiled either in the real software project, or as part of a formal verification testing step.

Technology weakens the bond between employers, staff
Apple TV+ is not the best streaming service, but it does have a decent value proposition, especially as part of a bundle of Apple services.

It has enough quality shows and movies to warrant a couple of months of subscription. I think it will slowly become successful despite the nay-saying, just like a lot of things Apple makes.

IME, rentals are usually for a 1 year period(and often the lease auto-renews for another year if neither part gives notice).

Another common model is an initial 1 year term that then converts to month-to-month.

Generally speaking, turnover higher than 1/year is incredibly costly for the landlord, so 1 year leases are the norm. Longer periods are too onerous on renters.

In commercial real-estate, though, longer periods are more common (5 and 10 years are not unheard of).
FWIW, I completely agree that people should focus on learning React itself first, and then pick up other libraries (like Redux) later, and we specifically make that recommendation in the Redux docs.

That's also the kind of advice I want to have in this new "Community Tools" resource site. At the same time, this site _is_ intended to list common tools in use in the ecosystem and when it _might_ make sense to use them.
It goes beyond profit motive. Independent of any business concerns, there's a lot of cultural value placed on optimism, and on appearing competent and confident. Which means that there can be great personal shame in saying things like, "I don't know," or, "This might not work out." There's constant pressure to smile, look on the bright side, and, at all costs, avoid doing something that might earn you a reputation as a debbie downer.

I think that's actually a much bigger factor in some of these situations than any profit motive. Profit motive doesn't push rational people to keep doubling down no matter what; there is room for risk management concerns. But a corporation is not a single mind, it's a bunch of individuals acting in their own interest. Individuals' concern for their social capital within their teams tends to be a much more immediate and pressing motive than relatively remote and abstract things like shareholder profit.
This kind of shit makes me really wish I had donated more to all of the pure linux phone projects of the past. They call this thing a smart "phone" but the "phone" part is the least advanced thing about it. Smart means it runs a bunch of apps but none of them actually advance what a phone should do: namely record calls - with auto prompts to make it legal, block spam.

Instead I'm inundated with societal shit: amber and silver alerts at 2am (yes I have been woken up when my phone was on silent in the middle of the fucking night. What the fuck am I going to do while I'm boondocking in the middle of the ari-fucking-zona desert to help a child abducted by a dad at 2 am in the state of Washington - but the parent's are originally from Phoenix?)

Stadia without a very good connection is basically unplayable. Even the fact they have a data center near most population centers who would use Stadia isn't enough to combat it.

A little over a month ago I had thought about doing p2p resource sharing to reduce the amount travel time and latency and make game streaming an edge computing problem and I still think that might be the way to go.

P2P resource sharing in a local area. Start with PC gaming friends with the assumption that a lot of people have local friends when you want to game but not own a PC you boot up the system and it uses your friends GPU, when they play it'll bump you to another friend or in the case you don't have another friend that's where you fall back to a reduced server farm in a datacenter some where to handle that.

As people use the service you gradually expand who can resource share from friends to a general Geolocation based pool. Now you very rarely fall back to the datacenter. Problems like spot instance turnover in the cloud have forced people to solve the problem of gracefully transferring resources before spur of the moment shutdown and worst case I think you can run multiple copies that you could hard cut over to.

You'll need a pretty tight lower bound for the types of hardware that can join that network and be used as resources among other things.

Anyway I'm 100% certain I'm missing a bunch of problems and technicalities here but it seemed like a good enough idea where I still want to set this up in a small example using kube and a few friends' computers.
