> A negative production value society member needs to be carefully balanced against a positive production value society member.

This is overly simplistic. Someone providing child or elder care is providing social value in a way which should not be measured against economic measures of production. Life is not an economic zero-sum game.
It seems like you have a vested interest in what you're preaching here, so I don't know what plane you're really dealing on.

I'm sure you know you're talking to people who understand that debt exists.

But I don't think there's any world where you can be so dismissive in a serious discussion about this subject— especially when you assume everyone qualifies for the debt required to gain an advantage—and that those most likely to be unqualified are those on the losing end of the whole equation.

Personally, I don't know enough about it all, so I try to understand others' perspectives and background before moving to personal insults—or at least to be a little more direct and less passive aggressive if I have something I think is important to say.
No, that's just your definition.

While I may personally agree the viral interference comment is not (in my definition) a conspiracy theory, it is regarded as a conspiracy theory in many (again, non-scientific) contexts.

The conspiracy is not the collaboration, it is the belief.
You shouldn't have to pay much though, it's should simply be a transaction on the Ethereum network. If whoever set up that contract wants to take a fee, then it's up to people to use another contract.

Any fork bomb at all will exhaust the pid graveyard, wouldn't it? You could change pid_t to 64 bits but then the pid graveyard would take a lot of memory in the kernel.
If you updated old compiler with new features, aren't they new compilers?
Agreed, Miyoko's is the closest to a real soft cheese. Makes sense as they age them to get those fermentation flavors
I love that book. Dopamine in written form.
> If you're wanting something to add to a charcuterie board or to put out with your appetizers, there are a lot of great cashew-based cheeses that do a pretty good job at mimicking softer cheeses.

Agreed! They are different but equally delicious.
Honeycrisps are notorious for that, being big and bruising easily. However, there are some apple varieties that are more resistant to bruising. Red Delicious has a thick skin that resists bruising, though they also taste terrible. Cosmic Crisp was recently developed and made commercially available, a cross of a Honeycrisp and other varities so that it better resists bruising and stores for longer.

I'm interested in the compressed air technology though. I remember Disney experimenting with that as part of an effort to make their animitronics safe for interaction with people. There are also some things I know from internal martial arts that I wonder about applying to robotics.
So if the other 80% are satisfied working there because they get to pick their hours, it is best to change that because the 20% would be more satisfied with a full-time job and benefits?

I don't even get your initial point. Have you never worked a job you didn't like? Many jobs suck, but people have to earn money. They will hopefully, eventually move on to more satisfying jobs.
> Many gig workers explicitly do not want to become employees, as there are many disadvantages to doing so.

On what basis do you say this? Have you found good unbiased survey research?
I’m also curious about this
Uber drivers are not paid very well, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the money Uber is willing to pay you to drive for them isn’t enough to survive. However it would be a mistake to assume everyone who lives paycheck to paycheck is doing so because they’re being paid a sub-living wage. I’m in college and I know students who got into thousand of dollars of credit card debt so they could buy weed and designer clothes. If you give people money and say “by the way, we’re going to need some of this back eventually” (which is the tax situation with independent contractors), many people are just not capable of not spending all of it.
(again, not saying this is the case for uber drivers. Although in the case of the uber drivers, keep in mind that there are two factors that determine their wage, what uber is willing to pay and the rate of taxation. Every uber driver could get something like a 30% raise if the government didn’t find it necessary to tax on third of the income of people who, in your words, don’t even make enough money to survive. I find it strange that blame only ever seems to go to uber in this situation)
My semi-conspiracy theory is that we're in de-facto hyperinflation already (visible in education, healthcare, housing), but it's being masked by wild productivity improvements in agriculture and basic manufacturing which keep inflation at a nominal 2%.
How can you explain people getting covid but not the flu when nothing changed when places started opening up?

It sounds more like poor data reporting more than anything else and I will take that to my grave.
Just a thought, perhaps it's something to prevent scraping.

Does that apply to cables designed for use in robots? eg https://okielectriccable.com/okis-robot-cables/

Litestream will flush outstanding changes on a clean shutdown so you shouldn’t lose any data when deploying.
I think some minor measures - mainly just being more considerate when you think you might have the flu - could make a big difference.

Before this year people would still go to work when sick, parents would still let their kids blow out the candles on a cake, everyone at the big event would kiss the same cheeks, etc.
> against their own interest

And how exactly would you reach this conclusion? How would you know what's better for someone, better than they do? At least in CA, the decision was clear that it wasn't against people's interest.
I don't mind people calling something "vegan cheese" or "vegan milk" or "milk alternative" etc. But I do mind people calling it "cheese" or "milk" intentionally when it's a vegan alternative, revelling in the confusion, just to give the impression that they're interchangeable and it's really no big deal if you get the vegan version instead.

Like, wtf is almond milk? When I was a kid, almond milk was super tasty, and it was basically normal milk mixed in with sweet almond sherbet. What's wrong with calling the vegan almond milk "almond-based milk alternative" if it's not actual milk? If you asked me for almond milk and I gave you actual "almond milk" (i.e. the dairy kind) and it turned out you were vegan, you'd be pissed off, right?
This is also what's happening with //part time// workers, and anyone else who isn't getting a 'full job'. As another reply mentioned, cliffs (cutoffs) incentivize gaming the cutoff.
That whole movement was kinda self contained. Early 2000s Central Europe.

There's a party drug contribution that's really instrumental to these movements. I have been thinking of how to do a musical taxonomy by narcotic, but it's hard to do without making everyone sound like a junkie.

New Beat and MDMA, Disco and cocaine, freeform Jazz and heroine, etc. (I'm a big fan of all of these btw, and could likely make you want to "delete my number" talking about them. But pretending like Gino Soccio (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhAPoip5YeQ) or Tantra (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyqkePY6FKY) or the partiers listening were sober is personally, not very plausible. Sure, I'm sober, but I'm an outlier)

The big theory here is the genres that seem to compactly come and go in a few years, seem to have a high degree of self similarity in releases (take reggae or psytrance for example), and seem to be popular with the party kids might be heavily linked to a particular single or set of narcotics.

Take happy hardcore for example. Thousands of tracks, labels, artists, a huge culture and scene behind it, of well, to be honest, a bunch of teenagers on drugs. Take psychedelic rock and LSD.

Again, this is a really touchy subject but I kinda think drumcore is in that camp. It follows the same chronological and social patterns and seems to fall in the same circles.

I'm not a drug user but I've been to enough parties to know there's certainly a different prevalence in different circles. It's even more difficult because you know, it's all technically illegal so people aren't entirely forthcoming and people don't tend to leave great documentation of illegal substance use around for future historian study.

Maybe a cross comparison with police arrest reports would be as authoritative as we can get? Even that is tough though because in all the hundreds of underground raves I went to in my teens and twenties in california, police arresting people happened at I believe zero. So that sample size is extremely small.

And even then, everything usually gets consumed rather immediately and if they bust a dealer what they're finding are the unsold inventory so even that's not a good metric, the "empty shelves" are the important ones.
I think they want the government to provide those, rather than employers. If society decides that this is the bare minimum someone should have, then society should provide it.
From what I can see, Zanzibar is also intended for "row-level" access checks.

I also don't think it's such a separate problem. If you've got a set of authorization primitives, you should have some simple and foolproof way of applying them to various usecases. You might have the best policy description language and very fast evaluation, but what good is it as a central authz service when you can't securely implement search on top of it?
Akrasia: Lack of will preventing us from doing something we know is good for us
Well, yes and no. If you mean the labor sec shouldn't arbitrarily decide not to enforce certain laws based on ideology, I agree completely.

But if you think the labor sec should merely concern themself with robotically enforcing the most literal meaning of the labor code, I think that's dubious as well. They should be thinking more big picture than that, like about whether the laws, when enforced, achieve their ostensible purpose. In this case, I would think it means saying, "well, if we want to do right by workers, I recommend we refactor the labor system like so...". That is, pass that on to Congress and the administration.

That, I think, should be a higher priority than fighting ever harder to be technically correct on an increasingly arcane distinction.
Not really - I'd argue that a lot of the problem in India isn't just selfish accumulation of wealth, but the utter unconcern for others that is inherently baked into the prevalent Hindu worldview. I've worked with Indian missionaries, and they uniformly agree that you simply cannot get many Hindus to have any concern for their fellow man - in fact, helping someone is actively discouraged, as you would be interfering with the Karma that is justifiably punishing the suffering party in this or a previous life.

If that's your worldview, then there can be no selfless compassion (an almost uniquely Christian concept, FWIW).
>But that glosses over a very large number of problems, some of which are deeply systematic, at which point questions like "whose job is it really to fix these issues anyways" may in fact deserve answers that are more out-of-the-box than "the republican democratic system works as intended, so the problem must be elsewhere".

This glosses over the fact that enough of the population disagrees with your assessment of the problem and proposed solutions that there is no consensus and that is why your problems are not being solved in the way that you want. In fact, that is almost always the case.

People feel that the thresholds of consensus required in republican processes get in the way of their plans only when they fail to persuade others. Then they start looking for more authoritarian solutions, such as having party-bureaucrats make laws by fiat.
While I agree with the thrust of your statement, he'd probably only need to go once a week at most.
> The main thing categories add to graphs is identifications of paths.

There's another, very different way to describe "identification of paths", although I agree that both are fundamental to categories.

What you've described is better known in graph theory as the "transitive closure" of a graph. Indeed, every graph (and even every multigraph, with multiple edges between two nodes) gives a category via its transitive closure. But this category is the free category on a graph, and there are many categories that are not "free", so there is still something missing.

What categories add on top of the transitive closure is the ability to say that two paths between the same nodes are fundamentally equivalent. (In other words, you are identifying two paths -- see the confusion?) If those paths could be further composed with other paths, then the resulting composites are also equivalent (i.e. if a = b then ac = bc); proceeding in this way gets you a new category.

It's the ability to say that two distinct "paths" (lists of edges) give you the same "edge" (single step) that really distinguishes category theory from graph theory. Commutative diagrams are popular in category theory precisely because they graphically display which paths produce equivalent edges.
Who the hell eats asparagus for its caloric density? You get plenty of calories from the hollandaise sauce and the potatoes. Given our sedentary lifestyle, low caloric density seems like an advantage, if anything.
Yes, and so?

The problem is that you chose a Linux distro with an explicit stability guarantee and a slower release cadence than Rust.

If you had chosen a rolling distro like Arch, you wouldn't have to use Rustup.
No thank you. Their interface is nearly garbage when it comes to smooth writing and even worse, that they obligate users to create an account only through the options of their Google account or their Facebook account is simply unforgivable. It's bad enough that Ink itself almost certainly scans all compositions by users for data mining purposes, but to have to then also know that the whole process needs to be done through logins via these two giant personal information parasites is a whole second level of shitting on customers.
It's safe to say that orchards are not changing anytime soon. These robots are not useful yet, and to demonstrate their utility they need to work on existing orchards.

Only once everyone is using robots for apple picking, we might see some new orchards deciding on a denser layout / higher trees.
dqlite and rqlite are both great projects but target different use cases. Those run Raft consensus which requires at least 3 nodes for HA whereas Litestream is meant to run on a single node and trades off with lower durability guarantees.

I'm do hardware/firmware/embedded engineering professionally, but I also like to tinker and follow the electronics hobbyist community for fun (stuff on hackaday and "electronics twitter" is usually more interesting than stuff on eetimes).

The three biggest categories that I see are:

1. Toys/novelties (i.e. blinking/flashing things, simple robots, audio/music gadgets, etc.)

2. IoT stuff (e.g. some appliance that I have does some stupid/annoying thing, and I just want to build a one-off gadget to work around it; I don't trust cloud IoT devices and want to build my own; etc.)

3. Specialized hobby things (e.g. I have a hobby shop metal lathe and want to build an electronic leadscrew for it (https://github.com/clough42/electronic-leadscrew), DIY radio-control airplanes, drones, autopilots, etc.)

It's generally a lot harder to "solve a problem" with DIY electronics and then sell it as a useful product with broad appeal, like you often see in Silicon Valley with apps and SaaS webapps. Going from small prototype runs to any sort of mass production can be surprisingly difficult. There are often large step costs with their own engineering intricacies (e.g. 3d printed enclosure --> injection molded enclosure). Regulatory compliance (FCC, CE, UL, etc.) is a soul-destroying pain in the ass. Etc.
If you are interested in writing Rust for embedded systems then this is a great collection of resources: https://awesomeopensource.com/project/rust-embedded/awesome-...

Visual Studio Code with rust-analyzer and probe-run give you the same turn key experience as Arduino except on a more professional level. Flash your devices with a simple “cargo run” command and see log messages magically appear from your microcontroller in your console. The STM32 line of microcontroller or nordic’s nRF52 boards are well supported. These are 32 bit microcontrollers rather than the 8 bit microcontrollers you get for Arduino.

And of course, there’s a book: https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book/
This is a great article and a great read, even as someone who knows very little about machine learning models but is a fan of the NBA.

One question I have is whether it’s possible to model voter fatigue. There was a point brought up that LeBron had a solid candidacy in the Rose MVP season but voters didn’t want to give it to him again, and I feel like this equally applies to Giannis this year. Though Giannis’ season isn’t as good as Jokic’s for sure, if they were closer I feel like Giannis would have to do WAY better than the competition to have a shot at the award, given general sentiment about him and his playoff results.
Last spring COVID was managing to achieve rapid spread at the same time that the flu season naturally ended. Despite the challenges in measuring R0 for both, this is pretty direct evidence that R0 is higher for COVID than for the flu.
I’m 36... still enjoy late nights but find it messes up my sleep for days after even if I am fairly sensible with alcohol etc., so I’m more selective about when I go out - has to be worthwhile! Day parties I’m down for (tho they have a way of turning into night parties lol)

In London, good venues are Corsica Studios, Pickle Factory, The Cause, Fold... all pretty low key and underground. There’s good stuff in other cities too but I’m not really familiar with it any more.

This is also true for buffalo wings. They aren't actually good, they are just a vehicle for buffalo sauce. Fried cauliflower with buffalo sauce is just as good if not better than wings.
Well, if you and or your employer are not paying premiums, and the overall spend is less (this is a well supported CBO finding), most of us will be better off.

There were other factors but what totally turned me against the NCAA is that the athletic scholarships are renewable every year. If you're hurt or are spending too much time in the classroom then your scholarship might not be renewed.

Sure, that's not going to affect healthy star players. But if you have something that really would be suited to rest or you want to take a tough course load, well, maybe they'll let you "red shirt" and maybe they won't. You still count against the scholarship limit.

If we could go back in time, maybe every town would have its football team and those teams could be promoted and relegated like many soccer teams. Players would be paid to play. Instead the college and university teams fill the need for people to have a local team.

That's an interesting line of thought. That sparked a different one: Carol Sanford had been talking about "value-adding" for a long time. Not in the sense of "value-added" (such as packaging, or productizing), but in the sense that additional value is created.

From watching the video, it seems like it's ~7 seconds from apple to apple when stationary.

It appears as though you're using the first interpretation, and assuming it's true. It is not. I agree it'd be very interesting if true.

The second interpretation (which is the one I called "not interesting") just means there was at least one non COVID death in each interval, and the total deaths never dropped below the average number of deaths. One could reasonably assume there was at least one non-COVID death per week, making that part of the statistic useless, and you could just state the total deaths.

In normal countries, the government provides you healthcare, no matter what your job is, or if you have a job at all.

In America, we already gave up on that fight. Instead, we made it your employer's responsibility to provide you healthcare. And now the government is yelling at Uber for not giving you healthcare.

Fascinating.

That's an ad-hominem argument. You might as well say Isaac Newton also believed in astrology, so we should throw out all his work on math and physics.

I have no stake or attachment to Kary Mullis, whether he's wrong or right is irrelevant to me.
