Sorry, but I strongly disagree with you. Allow me to respond with my own anecdote.

I remember when I was dating a doctor being appalled by her complete inability to think through a problem, and I later learned medical school is basically mass memorization. I am obviously cherry picking medicine here, but if doctors aren't even taught that by the time they're practicing in the United States I think it's fair to say critical thinking is sorely lacking in our education system. She was a neurologist who was unable to help me with my migraines, and I later figured them out on my own using ~drumroll~ critical thinking. I also saw at least a half dozen specialists at prestigious hospitals, all of whom were equally unhelpful in solving my problem. They were all very quick to prescribe pain medication though, in fact it seemed to be the only thing any of them were ever interested in doing. Some of them accused me of lying about my symptoms, and some told me I shouldn't even bother trying to get better.

If US doctors - some of the best educated and most highly trained professionals in the world - aren't good at thinking critically about medicine, I'm not confident that it's being taught in the US. In fact I'm quite confident it's not taught in the US (or at least it wasn't). I was never taught critical thinking in a classroom setting, and I have multiple degrees from the US.
Wouldn't that be the definition of "current value"?

> Again, it's pretty similar.

I don't see how... Yes, the US has a classist bias and certainly some mild corruption. That still seems a world apart from a single party system that routinely flouts its own constitution.

Also, executive orders and legislation are bound by the constitution in theory and practice. While they may result in abrupt changes from time-to-time, they are limited in scope. That seems materially different to me than a single party system that can pass, overturn, or utterly ignore whatever legislation it likes overnight.
I don't think it is a setback. They are building them all the time and they are iterating very fast. I don't think they are close to reusing them so they are just interested in seeing what works and what doesn't and then iterate on the design in subsequent launches.

I wouldn't be surprised if this Starship didn't incorporate all the improvements they learned about during last few launches (and booms).

you seem to be missing the obvious non-totalitarian option:

if you’re vaccinated, you’ve already drastically reduced your chances of spreading the virus to others, and it’s overwhelmingly unlikely that wearing a mask will lower that risk meaningfully further.

that also has the positive knock-on effect of encouraging vaccination as an avenue toward herd immunity, rather than the punitive inverse, which discourages it.
>> ... I’m excited about this acquisition ... because it’s not goodbye, it’s about acceleration

>> This is not one of those tech acquisitions where the company is bought to be shut down. Unsplash will continue to operate as a standalone brand and division of Getty Images.

>> Will Unsplash remain an independent brand?

Yes.

HAHA! You can't intentionally write parody this good! Just like every teenager swears they'll be nothing like their parents, every acquired startup swears nothing will change and their independence is preserved; why did you make a massive change to keep everything the same? Do you think Getty wants something for those bags of money they just handed you?

I'm not against acquisitions, on the contrary. I just expect everyone, including the author, to acknowledge that this sort of post is solely to allay their conscience, not that of staff or customers. Funny enough the same hubris is probably what aided their success in the first place...
"The point of those questions was to show that all answers to them are flawed."

"When you want case-insensitive search, it's the search tool's job to provide it."

I dont know if you didnt read it, or missed it, but the article clearlerly explains that the tool above the FS cannot do such a search performantly, it has to happen at the FS layer

"You don't change the file system to normalize characters inside files."

Where does this certainty come from? Why do you offer no technical argument to support your position? Is this by Pope's decree?

Can you demonstrate a tool that can search efficiently in different alphabets, or when the same character is presentes by different unicode codepoints?

Reading replies here convinces me even more that you just picked 'something something windows' and react like a bull does to a red rag.

The same way the US has a permanent interest in the continued existence of an independent, non Russian Federation aligned Crimea. If Taiwan looses it's economic value (say, chip production becomes a commodity when Moore's law truly ends, and the CCP subsidizes local chip production to kill off TSMC), it may not be worth the nuclear war to the CCP 'no'.
Something the VP of Engineering did at my current employer was to put a daily "Focused Work Time" calendar blocker on all devs' calendar from 8:00 AM until 10:30 AM. The understanding this has communicated to other departments is that developer time is precious and interrupting them for menial crap isn't just a "hey, can I get five minutes of your time" but something that is significantly more disruptive and time costing. The bulk of meetings (status reports, incident reviews, training, info sharing) happens early in the afternoon, usually right after lunch when one's motivation to get into serious mental activity is less than from 3pm to 5pm.

This has been awesome but would haven been impossible if not driven by a VP with the backing of the CEO. Things like this -- or "adopting agile" -- have to have backing from above and buy-in across departments to have any chance of success.
I often get same thing. If I think the meeting might benefit me or it critical to get my way then I go along. If I think it might be simply making up numbers, I check in with the PM and see why the meeting has been called, if I'm not needed I tell my manager and then I block in the time in my calendar. I tell the PM to call me only if they think I'm needed for s short comment one something important.

I often block in an entire afternoon with 1hr bookings to stop people seeing free time show up in my calendar when they're looking to call a meeting, then I put on the do not disturb in MS Teams and get some work done.

Reminds me a bit of the old line, “Rome conquered the world in self defense”.

The idea that “we acted outside our borders in defense”, is a line as old as empire itself (and in no way unique). One need only look at the changing borders of China over time to see that their interests extend exactly as far as the geography and external kinetic force allow it to.

Another line of thinking they’ll teach you in China is that the people of Tibet were enslaved by a ruling class, and their annexation was actually a liberation for the good of the local population. Maybe they’re right, and maybe five people in Tibet agreed before they started shoving families of Han Chinese into the region en masse, but justification of expansionist policies is a different discussion than whether their policies are or are not expansionist.

If you’ve got active (powered) speakers then many headphone combo DACs have line-outs that will work well.

I personally have the ifi Zen dac and Fiio K5 pro, and recommend the Zen. The speakers and headphone outputs are always active, I just turn the speakers themselves on/off or mute to control which output I’m consuming.

If you need to power speakers then separate units are the way to go (DAC/Amp combo for the headphones and to PC, speaker amp chained to the line out on the dac). However units like the Loxjie A30 can do all three duties, it just may be a little weak on the headphone amplification side of things since it’s not the focus.

Note also if your pc/laptop has a toslink optical output you can alternatively use that to bridge to an external amp rather than using USB. Then your choice of dac/amp widens a bit to include units that don’t have USB inputs e.g. home theatre AV receivers and such.

Both of those are hard. A big powerful sedan is the best case for electric. You get the big power for free, and you don't end up that heavier or more expensive than a powerful gasoline drivetrain.

Small low power cars and trucks that need to be able to tow are the worst case. Giving up the big power doesn't really save you any mass or cost, and trucks need a bigger gas "tank". But perhaps if the tabless and structural battery thing works out, it will get us to both of those cases.
>In fact the "hick" position is the scientific one.

It is not. It is evidence-based, and experiment-based, but this is not enough for it to be scientific. For that, it also needs to fit with previous experimental data, and not contradict an existing scientific model (expanding on it and replacing it with a more general model is fine).

You can say the experts in this case are being overly cautious, but there's no denying that

>If a perishable food (such as meat or poultry) has been left out at room temperature overnight (more than two hours) it may not be safe.

This is a fact, as established by scientific studies. The problem is the danger 'threshold' that leads one to behave in accordance with the drawn conclusion:

>Discard it, even though it may look and smell good. Never taste a food to see if it is spoiled. Use a food thermometer to verify temperatures. Never leave food in the Danger Zone over two hours; one hour if outside temperature is above 90 °F.
It's more the sort of technology that you only notice when it doesn't work, otherwise it is subtle magic that you don't see. A lot of software relies on it in one way or another and works better with it, but of course it's tough to know when something is UPnP powered or using some fallback alternative.
Ideas Worth Exploring
From what I can see it takes up the space that would have been used by the stats from that equipment if you had it installed - so it's a lot less problematic than if they were taking up space that could have been put to better use.

I think some of the responses in this thread reek of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
This is unreasonable to me when both possible worldviews make such wide-reaching claims about reality, and require me to subscribe to particular rules and philosophies--especially when you consider these beliefs are in direct opposition to one another.

As the Christian god demands "You shall have no other gods before me" how can I freely consider participating in other religions alongside Christianity? Surely one of them must be closest to reality with its claims--unless I am to regard the demands these religions make of me merely as suggestions, or allegorical teachings? While that's certainly possible (and, I'm told, the case of the Greek and Roman gods), that's not how I often encounter religion in my life.

Typically it's being cited as edicts or prohibitions that must be followed, lest terrible things happen, and being used to motivate people's decisions around policy and behavior, policy and behavior which I've watched cause harm to myself and those I care about.

I find it a ridiculous proposition that a person could make a decision that would have such effects by seeing which of these contradictory things "resonates" with them, somehow.
Part of the "habits" thing is that they have to span horizontally across family and friends, and vertically across generations. A private village of people all pulling together will be far more effective than any one person pulling alone.

Obviously. It will continue to break that record for the rest of the century. We have unchecked global warming.

For example, this article about it from just 4 years ago shows an obvious trend: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2017/04/07/japans-c.... This year's peak is just below the bottom of the chart (March 26) in the Economist article. The Osaka University chart in the linked BBC article shows just how abrupt and accelerating the trend is in the last 150 or so years, and real changes in the last 10.

We are all in real trouble.

It's called disability discrimination. Getting paid less on the sole basis of your disability is generally considered to be disability discrimination in the US. Having to use the toilet every hour or so for 1-3 minutes to take care of business in this case is a reasonable accommodation legally mandated in US law. Considering that it is /immediately life-threatening/ and /immediately quantifiable/ (via blood pressure readings-continuous, spontaneous, or otherwise), it is very clear that Amazon would have an extremely difficult time weaseling their way out of trouble with their strict enforcement of a zero-tolerance, all-or-nothing, policy.

> You seem to forget that a lot of these workers are unskilled and have few choices.

Congratulations for pointing out the obvious. There are a ton of people who have ended up with UTIs and other health consequences from having to not only hold it at Amazon warehouse, but also being forced to purposefully dehydrate themselves, in the short term and long term. The toilet issue is so ridiculous that somebody who can should take them for a ride and fight for the people who are less fortunate. I would look to it as an adventure and a "summer job". I have legal authorization to work in both the US and the European Union on a long-term, permanent basis, so why not test the waters?

As I said, the condition I have is immediately life-threatening, so it's pretty clear cut that they would be putting my life in danger (strokes, seizures, retinal detachment, etc.) by "punishing" me for using the toilet.
One of Waymo's LIDAR competitors was a client when I still worked in consulting. (Not free to say which due to non-disclosures still in effect.)

You're trivializing the amount of work that has gone into both LIDARs and products integrating LIDARS.

I am aware that rocket science is hard. But we reached the moon before we developed pocket calculators. Fundamentally, the math behind rocket science can be done by hand. And was.

Despite RADAR being developed more than 70 years ago, LIDARs required technological breakthroughs in multiple fields of physical sciences to become viable, which is why they only began showing up in force within the past decade, and this is despite the obvious military applications driving military research for the past several decades.

Very good question: WLTP has just a number for you.

PHEVs may not be a good idea depending on your driving style. There should be more discussion about what type of engine is the correct one for you before buying. Do you drive enough motorway regularly that a diesel would make sense? Do you drive shorter distances but you cannot charge? Can you charge but you sometimes need more range? Maybe even a PHEV diesel would make sense, but that is a type of vehicle that was rare and is now even rarer.

Technology was improved a lot over the last decades. If you'd record the WLTP tests you could maybe build a system which would accurately calculate your fuel usage for your type of driving and define if a PHEV or a diesel would make any sense for you.

Take, for example, the President. Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan - none of them came from wealthy families. If the most powerful man in the country is chosen entirely by the people, I'd say average people do have control over the system.
