That's a tough one for me. I seem to be stuck on an axis of either being nerdy, anti-social, physically unfit and intelligent or outgoing, stupid, and physically fit. I've varied along the axis throughout my life and never managed to be a good nerd while also being mentally and physically healthy. I've seen a lot of other people do it, it's just not something I've been able to pull off.

I work with a lot of people who remind me of my former self and I'm afraid to encourage them to find balance in their lives because I don't want them to lose their genius like I feel I did. It's tough when you grow up a nerd and find most of your self-worth and security in your intellectual superiority and then lose it because you thought the grass was greener on the other side.

Thanks for finding that! It strikes me a quaintly naive, progressive-washed technocracy . The ideas seem to discount the notion that people participating in democracy learn and improve themselves by acquiring control of their lives.

Imagine I wrote “Since we start threatening people with automatic firearms, there is less demand for elections.” Though that sounds more low-tech.
I was replying to a comment which used AWS having multiple datacenters as a benefit over Backblaze which only has one. If your data is only in one datacenter either way, then does it really matter if a particular provider only has one datacenter?
That only makes sense if the "optional" activity is not funded by a public school and does not make use of any public school property. Otherwise it is a government sanctioned activity, however optional.
I’ve been using Immersed VR with some good success. I use different virtual environments for different tasks. The coffee shop for deep work, space for emails, etc.

Part of my problem is that my “office” is in my bedroom. I’m a strong believer in “physical” mental spaces, so it really helps me.
It seems like ads placed in search results only accounts for a small portion of their revenue.

Do you have a source for that? Last time I checked (which granted was some years ago) my understanding was that over 90% of their revenue came from advertising, and I think most of that was driven by search results.
you would still need to use a de-linted discwasher with de-ionized water:

Same with my old school Chromecast audio, it needs to be rebooted constantly as it too somehow stops connecting to wifi. I used to use it with a toslink cable and got really good sound out of it using a DLNA server from my storage.

Now I just use my TV (as a monitor) optical out since it is connected via ethernet. I can still use DLNA on it as well to play my music.
Well, that's not the problem we were talking about, is it? We were talking about the issue of bribery, which is made possible by the fungible nature of money.
>At no time in the economic... chain?... of events that is advertising is anything actually created, yet vast sums of money, and thus allocation of resources, is put here. It seems INSANELY wasteful.

You're forgetting something, companies start off completely unknown. How did they reach the point where the market has been fully saturated and the only real way to gain more customers is to take them from someone else? Oh right, it's because advertising increased the grow rate of your company to the point where there is barely any growth left.

Let's manufacture a completely artificial scenario to illustrate my point:

Person A: So, you're telling me you spent $5 billion on advertising and all you have to show for it is a 5% higher market share than your biggest competitor?

Founder: Yes, we used the advertising budget to grow our market share from less than 1% to 40%. Our next biggest competitor has a 35% market share.
That relationship - when purchase prices go up rents go down and vice versa has always seemed odd to me. When you think about it, it makes sense but you'd think most people wouldn't have the flexibility to move between renting and owning.
I'm going to cherry pick your slippery slope argument:

> Should certain speech mean imprisonment?

Yes. Credible death or terroristic threats in 1st world countries can mean you can go to jail. Society has decided that people don't have the "natural rights" to threaten to murder other people.
I agree with you, but the counterpoint is that anything other that this might not fit any defensible definition of life.
Well, that's interesting to know. I still wouldn't say rain causes rain. Rain may be self-reinforcing, but there is generally some other far more significant catalyst. Regardless, I hope you got my point.
> So anyone who put the term "growth hacking" on their resume will now get publicly discredited as being underhanded?

That is good thing! These 'growth hacks' people should be viewed in the same light as a 'SEO tricks' people. Both damage the quality of results and bring bad faith actors to the top.

> It has not been shown conclusively that microwaves (or other non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation) have significant adverse biological effects at low levels. Some, but not all, studies suggest that long-term exposure may have a carcinogenic effect.

He might not be entirely wrong. They're still not going to sell any to the general public, though, especially if it is carcinogenic.

> Why would we have gone for inferior distribution mediums?

Higher data density, easier to manufacture, portable.

While we often phrase it as "vinyl vs CD" it was more a "tape vs CD". And CD is arguably the better technology there.

In https://www.soundguys.com/vinyl-better-than-streaming-20654/ - there is a chart of "Music sales by media" and you will see that CD - it replaced cassette tapes. Another view of similar data - https://blogs.sas.com/content/graphicallyspeaking/2019/11/11...

And even with that, "the best technology wins" isn't always the case. One could make a reasonable argument laser disks were better than video tapes and that Beta was better than VHS.

There are forces beyond the pure technology comparison at work in market dominance.
Radarr, sonarr, and plex are a nice escape hatch for availability. Similarly, an HDMI cable connected to a PC with a browser is a working fall-back to most missing apps on any platform.
> Also, it looks like you get out of Lambda School debts via bankruptcy, which you don't with regular college, so that's... an improvement?

That was always the case, Lambda School just communicated otherwise to students.
the only features i miss is seamless translation (the extension is unreliable and less convenient) and no reverse image search (because of ddg selected as the main search engine)

>where there are almost literally no rules or traffic signals ...

That's a lie, though. The meme that México is an uncivilized place is dumb and doesn't hold much substance.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, GP's statement is laughably easy to disprove. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In general: Flex is for flowing content, grid is for structured. You can do some awesome wrapping with flex that is impossible with grid. Also `margin-inline-start: auto` is pretty rad using flex, although you can do something similar with `justify-self` with grid.

A good use case for flex would be a list of tags, that need to wrap.
There's probably something to be said for hard-wired drones here. The weight of the cable is something you have to contend with, but with a physical wire you can run a larger drone longer.

It's not all about the amount of APY, also which ecosystem you want to belong to and who you trust will improve over time too. Ethereum vs Celsius is a no brainer at the moment.
Cool, but a pathname is not and has never been a file descriptor, and open is an operation upon a pathname.
Why would this be any more trusted than the misinformation warnings Youtube and Twitter already put up automatically for certain subjects?

And also, I don't know how anyone can even float the possibility of making something like this a legal requirement. The ways it could be abused are really obvious.

> You essentially utilize a schema as a namespace and destroy it when tests are complete (as opposed to the “public” default schema)

Unless you rely on schemas as static namespaces in your code (even if the schemas your code expects includes the "public" common schema).

I prefer using dedicated schemas for dedicated micro-apps/services/components. Say, one for the event log, one for the (business) metadata, one for the reports.

> This way you don’t need to worry about provisioning a stand-alone db for each test run

Practically, `CREATE DATABASE tmp_xxx; \c tmp_xxx` isn't much different from `CREATE SCHEMA tmp_xxx; SET search_path TO tmp_xxx, public;`. They both do essentially the same thing when the dust settles. But the latter requires migrations to be applied to the new schema, while the former allows you to short-circuit that with a simple `CREATE DATABASE tmp_xxx FROM TEMPLATE seeded_test_db`.
I read that as “Google has threatened to acquire Roku”

Apologize.

> Also, it looks like you get out of Lambda School debts via bankruptcy, which you don't with regular college, so that's... an improvement?

"You can't discharge student debt," is actually a myth. I have two relatives that discharged their loans due to financial hardship. It isn't trivial, but there's a process.

The issue with ISAs, in their current form, is the lack of legal framework. Short of bankruptcy, the best you can do is lawyer up. Lambda School targets people who can't afford lawyers.
Not an expert but I don't think that's quite right. No three-address ISAs (that I know of?) do anything to forbid using one of the sources as a destination, I'm not even aware of a microarch that punishes you for doing so, and the three-address design goes back to the original RISC/MIPS designs where any sort of advanced dependency analysis in the pipeline wasn't even a consideration (it was considered somewhat un-RISC-y maybe even).

I think the motivation was something more like: there's room in the instruction encoding and it's more flexible. Like you can do things like move a value from one register to another using an `add` instruction instead of a dedicated `move` by using `dest = source + zero`. Internally I think some CPUs were doing that sort of thing anyway to simplify the datapath, and the basic point of RISC was to expose the microarch in the instruction set.
I don't think Plan9 "failed" because of any technical reason, such at failing to realizing over ambitious goals. It was a research project which worked out very well from what I can see.
It already is. Watch the Twitter 'trending' pane over time, and you'll notice that they add context in exactly one worldview direction, incurring massive editorialized anchor bias.
To be honest, this seems like one of the easier edge cases to handle. Before crossing tracks, check if there's anything coming down the tracks.

Much easier than all of the weird edge cases related to the behavior of other drivers or pedestrians.
The iPhone SE (2020) has it.
I think what you're trying to say is that compassion is a more effective tool for bringing people back into the fold of widely accepted facts and norms, and you offer Daryl Davis as an example.

I hear what you're saying, but I think Daryl Davis is an inexplicable exception, not the rule. I think most people know someone that has held onto truly shocking beliefs for decades, and hasn't responded to reason or compassion.
I have never seen adds on my LG tv, or atleast never noticed them.
I am at LGs mercy for updates though, so it still isn't ideal. And yet, with PLEX and a backup hdmi cable, it works pretty dang well
There are pro-GMO activists?
People have their biases, and people like to be validated. I agree. I just don't believe that people satisfying their biases would have much of a market in primarily subscriber-oriented news. Even todays subscription news is driven by clicks and shares in a misguided effort to compete with free news.
So, essentially, you live in Italy where traffic signs and lights are nothing more than street art and some extra frills on the side of the road.
"Is the idea that Jews are literal monsters part of someone's culture and identity?"

The idea that some people may believe that is central to some cultural identities. For example the Hasidic community, or the defense/military posture of Israel.

yeah it probably won't swing back as fast if rates go back up. A lot of us who were waiting around for a reason to buy suddenly got a reason to make a move. Anyone who bought a place is probably not going back to renting soon/ever.

>It is simplistic to state that 44.1/16bit is enough, if that is the case then any combination of recording, amplifier and speaker would suffice.

No, that doesn't follow. It just means that recording at those bit rates and sampling frequencies isn't the "bottleneck" for the sound in the system.

>But there really is a difference between a phone with a music app playing a 16bit/44.1kHz song on a medium quality headphones and a dedicated player with a good DAC chip playing a 96kHz song on a good quality headphones.

When everything you compare to is better quality then of course it sounds better. But it's not due to the 96kHz vs 44.1kHz. Nyquist-Shannon is mathematical reality.

You have to compare the same high quality headphones, the amp with the same DAC, with the same recording, being played through a high quality filter bringing everything down to 44.1kHz/16bit.
You're right and wrong. You already touched on the latter in your edit, so let's focus on the former for a sec. I was not surprised at all to see your comment, since I walked away with the same impression - someone at a gov agency tried harder than usual to achieve the max juice out of this release. Learning in this thread that this is a brand new agency and that this might have been the very first case they were tasked with (hope I got that right), helped me complete the full picture.
It's worth mentioning the the CEO Austen had a post on here (now deleted) proclaiming to have creating a bot army via stealing people's pictures on Instagram.

I would qualify that as "underhanded"
Exactly. Even worse, if you listen to more than one podcast like this from different companies, you have to use multiple apps.

They really shouldn't even be called Podcasts. Just like how I wouldn't call something an email newsletter if it didn't show up in my normal email client.
Since we're commenting a piece from the ACM: would you people recommend an ACM membership subscription and reading the communication of the ACM magazine?

The margin call only occurs if you can't service the debt. As long as the note is paid, you can drag the debt out to note maturity (assuming fixed rate vs ARM, interest only, etc). If you have enough income from investments, and can service the note until maturity, whether you rent the property or not is immaterial. You can leave it vacant forever. Same if you pay it off and hold.

For this discussion, I'm going to waive away the maintenance costs on a SFH, as they are immaterial for the size of the homes in SF regardless of what the value is determined to be by an arms length transaction.
Would be glad to hear details.

From APL point of view C could be conidered below "barely tolerable", which doesn't prevent its, C, widespread use. It's hard to have a language convenient for all kinds of problems, so I'd like to learn details in your case.
And as I said, a password manager can be a physical piece of paper that only you ever see. There is absolutely no need to trust an additional intermediary unless you choose a password manager which requires that. And additionally, you can choose exactly how much trust you put in the intermediary, because there are many password managers out there to choose from.

They can also enforce you to use your fingerprint or face (in The Netherlands) but not PIN or password (in The Netherlands), both with proper (minimal) force. In UK, there's a law to force a user to give away their password. Which, IMO, is the same as being enforced to help your own conviction.
Her "overly dogmatic views regarding, in particular, abortion, contraception, and divorce" are, I suspect, orthodox Catholic doctrine. As for the rest, critics criticize. She sure wasn't using the money she received to get personally rich. She was working with/caring for people that nobody else was. While less than perfect, I'm not seeing "reprehensible" anywhere in the substance of the criticism.

(Read the "Responses to criticism" section of that article for a decent explanation of why most of the criticism is completely missing the point.)
Both.

Literal: move the blade / cutting edge away from you.

Figurative: apply hazardous effort in a manner that it dissipates in the direction or mode of least harm.
I wonder if they could do what film scanners do - they use an IR channel.

EDIT: and as soon as I submitted I realize film scanners scan for light and maybe use the IR channel for physical scanning. with a record everything is physical.

or maybe the IR channel focuses on a different plane? could they use different wavelengths for distance sensing/separation?

I figure this is because at the time there wasn't an accurate way to measure light output en masse. This was before photoresistors and solar panels were invented. Also, why would manufacturers still target that figure even today in absence of the cartel?
Oh, thank you. I hadn't test it under Big Sur.

It seems there is an incompatibility with Big Sur in the Sparkle Framework (I use it for updates).

Will look into it.
Three things product teams need from designers
Agreed. I would think that silicon-based life is possible and would require an entirely different set of elements to sustain.

I would argue that a better definition of life should be based on (a) entropy and (b) propagation. Living systems (a) actively counteract entropy-increasing forces within their system as long as they are alive, and (b) are able to propagate indefinitely given the necessary energy inputs.

I've heard other definitions of life including dependence on water and I think those aspects should not be part of such a definition.
I live here in Toronto and it’s an absolute dumpster fire. The country is increasingly becoming hollowed out and residential investments are increasing as a % of total investments. In addition, there is no plan for prosperity. GDP per capita has been stagnant or negative and the productivity numbers are weak. The housing sector is becoming a giant leech sucking the life of out of productive investment. Engineers have quit to become real estate agents and try their hand at selling to foreigners or over-leveraged locals.

Very little hope here from the eyes of a local. Maybe you can study software to get out and go to an American city. America remains relatively industrious. Canada is just becoming a high tax version of Monaco (doesn’t even make sense but still).

You don't have to associate with anyone as a private individual if you don't want to. In the present case, the school district is an arm of the state and cannot punish a student for constitutionally protected speech.
I can use your argument to push to another side: wouldn't this strategy also tell us a huge bias that it is selecting for and presenting itself in tech companies? With that I mean the bias of "learning to play the game", selecting for people that are going to conform to arbitrary rules for their promotions, caring about playing the game instead of analysing the impact of their work?

And I can ask that given the recent issues with data privacy and data abuse by the tech giants, would we be in this place if the interview processes had selected for more holistic engineers, technically able but that refuse to play the game just for the sake of playing the game, that are opinionated and don't conform to something just for the sake of money?

I know that I might be creating a false dichotomy but I would like to think about what kind of pressure this selection process creates, what biases arises from it? How can we make it better?

Because your argument is the most conservative and pro-establishment one: it works so don't touch it and just emulate.
I dunno if "underhanded" is the right word, but it feels like "growth hacking" is something one does only when the higher-than-usual moral cost is worth it.
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

44.1/16 is enough for distribution. This is not simplistic. It simply can reproduce waveforms up to the nyquist frequency perfectly within a defined noise range. That's a mathematically proven fact. Of course you can botch that with bad listening equipment, but there's nothing a ridiculously oversampled signal would improve given the same listening equipment. You do speak about the studio processing right?
I'm inclined to be on your side — the sum total of Lambda's impact on the world is likely highly positive, whatever happens in the details.

But that makes this response confusing — I was hoping to see a refutation of the regulator's claims or, failing that, a thoughtful discussion on what went wrong.

Is the regulator accurate? If so, were the statements significant? If so, what happened?
