Le Guin is a writer who, for me at least, really understands and likes people. Perhaps that relates to her deep knowledge of anthropology, mentioned by others. She also deeply respected indigenous cultures. The two are combined in "Always Coming Home". And if you want a fascinating, multi-perspectival take on racism and slavery, the "story suite" "Five Ways to Forgiveness" is masterful. And of course, the "Earthsea" novels are incredible, and have the best-written dragons I've read. She is just fantastic.
US Customs Export Control Says: I’m Screwed
> what happens when you get a request for an item that you've never seen before?

Just refund and try to make up for the discomfort (money's blocked for the customer for a few days) by offering a voucher — we tell them "we still owe them a perfect experience"

> could you write a post on how exactly you became so knowledgeable in telling fakes from authentic items?

Sure! Copying below from another answer

Honestly I just 'hamstered' all the material I could on the most popular items.

In the beginning, in those first 10 guides I mention in the article, I just curated all the splintered bits of info* from the internet into one mega-guide, and added what I found after analysing fakes

* bits of info from as little as a forum thread comment, lost on page 48, to a full-blown attmept at a guide that, to me, wasn't exhaustive enough

In time, it refined to partly what I did in the beginning, and partly our own research which got better with exercise

Package all that info in a free, properly formatted guide (with some imperfect English, I admit, as we're not natives), and that gives us the traffic figures I screenshot'd
You mean, no chemical birth control. Different cultures employed various mechanisms of birth control - some of which the article describes.

Japan during much of the Tokugawa period (after 1700) is an example of that kind of self-stabilizing population. They used:

* Abortion

* On-birth infanticide (don't be quick to judge)

* Delayed marriage (which also means more years of celibacy before marriage I guess?)

> I'm not a fan of Dependency Injection/Auto Wiring for similar reasons

I see. My point was that such things are pretty common in most contemporary languages and I don't see how Scala is special in this regard.

Yes, unlike Go or Java, implicits are part of the language spec and not some metaprogramming magic on top of it, but I'm not sure it's a bad thing.
I agree, I think what is unsaid, but assumed, in the article is that the owners of the business want to maximize profit. Other types of organizations (for example hackers organizing around Linux kernel development) do not share that goal and don't have this type of problem.
As a portuguese I can tell you that sardine stocks are heavily controlled and regulated and there are years where the catchable tonnage is severely reduced. As the fish markets are centralized, meaning fishermen need to sell their catch in a government auction house, you cannot really do industrial fishing out of allowed stock quotas. Sardines quotas are the target of heavy diplomatic negotiations with EU.
The problem is that it could be a self repairing system though right?

Prices go up => bubble pops => prices make next bubble viable.. etc.

You'd hope rational critical thought would stop the second cycle but even a charitable reading would say so far crypto has shown there are plenty of people not applying it. (and an uncharitable one would say it's the reason it exists at all... but lets skip that discussion for once).
Here's how I implement little endian parsing:

static uint32_t load32_le(const uint8_t s[4])
{
return (uint32_t)s[0]
| ((uint32_t)s[1] << 8)
| ((uint32_t)s[2] << 16)
| ((uint32_t)s[3] << 24);
}

I start with unsigned char to begin with (well `uint8_t` to be precise, which has the advantage of not compiling at all if you happen to use a DSP that uses 32-bit chars). Then I convert those chars to unsigned 32-bit integers. Only then do I shift them. There is no need to mask anything here.

Note that modern compilers translate this whole thing into a single unaligned load operation. Even better, I've noticed that using a macro instead of a function tends to make performance worse with modern compilers.

How many projects have you worked on that claimed they were coming into restructure things to make them better and they just made things a lot worse? Everyone has opinions on what could be improved, but rarely do they actually get things accomplished like the Linux kernel team has done. They already have contribution documents as well:

https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/1.Intro.html

> Sadly current kernel dev culture still promotes exclusion and building walls instead of reducing tension and removing barriers for entry

I suggest if you are being excluded then you say what that exclusion is. I keep seeing people say this, but then asked about it they say things like... well I wanted to develop a driver in JavaScript and they said no. If you have legitimate issues then bring them forward to the Code of Conduct committee:

https://www.kernel.org/code-of-conduct.html
>Turning them on and off reduces their life span.

That would be the case only if the driver is exceptionally bad, heat kills them pretty much (which would be continuous use). Any usable driver should limit the inrush current.

@mrtksn, pretty much all LEDs you buy in the shop are heavily overdriven to get 1) high power, 2) shorten their life span, so you have to replace them, i.e. the planned obsolesce.

It's exceptionally rare to see e27/e14 designs that would be half-decent. The "dubai ones" are an example of not-overdriven leds with okayish electronics but they still are subpar.

---
(Edit) A simple solution for DYI, are LED strips - they are not super efficient as they have current limiting resistors (i.e. heat) but they can be dimmed easily (PWM) to last for long long time. Also they can be used in a lot of creative ways.
I don't know what your native language is, could it be Swedish? In Sweden, media consistently write Iphone, because it's a name, and names start with upper case.

As you mentioned, what the marketing department says about the case of letters in the name does not affect this generic recommendation.

Of course, you'll find a lot of people writing it in accordance with the marketing style, bit typically you'll see media follow the Swedish spelling rules.

>We should give a shit about the truth independent of tribal affiliation

We should, but the reality is we don't. (the general we, not the specific you and me). There would be far more people (in the West) accepting the natural origin theory if the virus started in the EU or US. People give a shit about "the truth"^{tm} only when it suits them.

Some people in China have done some really spurious gene sequencing studies to try and prove the virus actually started anywhere-but-China. Their theory of "it must have started outside of China" is just as much motivated reasoning as "it must have been a malicious/incompetent act by China". Of course everyone involved really pretends to give a shit about the truth. Anyone who actually cares about the truth knows better than to wade into that cesspool. Being earnest in this context only results in you getting covered in shit.

>As the sister reply to your comment suggests, there should be consequences for negligence that leads to a global pandemic killing millions.

That really gets to the heart of it. Was it negligence, or was it just a thing that could have happened at any of the BSL labs with some small probability? What exactly is the mistake rate in similar labs around the world? Was it really more likely to have happened in WuHan, or is that just where the cosmic dice landed? There's this pervasive assumption in your comment and others that the virus escaping a Chinese lab must have been due to the incompetence of the Chinese government. Yet the Chinese governments response to the virus was more serious and more competently executed than almost anywhere else. They practically reopened months ago. How do you square that circle?

When someone is only looking at theories which have someone to blame, they aren't really being disinterested seekers of truth. Trying to explain the nuance of "there is some evidence it might have escaped a lab but that by itself doesn't necessarily imply anyone is at fault" isn't worth my time. Additionally explaining the difference between "I don't reject the lab theory" and "I believe the lab theory" also isn't worth my time. I already know 11 out of 12 aren't really listening / digesting the nuance. The only thing I can say that won't get lost in translation is "it evolved in bats, full stop".

Blame thinking is easy. Wouldn't it be great if we could just fix all our future problems by finding the people who do the wrong thing and punishing them until there's no more sinners left. The alternative of a fundamentally random universe where bad things happen for no reason is a bitter pill to swallow.
>ovens, stoves, kettles

All of them are pure resistivity load - resistive load has power factor of 1. Ok, stoves might be the inductive kind but those run on 3-phase.
Statistics done by physicists based upon a wrong model is the root cause.

The exact flaw changes from paper to paper. They are plenty of ways to get something wrong when you are not doing statistics carefully.

It often comes down to the precise definition of what the experimenter for what a measurement is.

One usual mishap is "involuntary post-sampling", by wrongfully ignoring some blips or discarding particle that don't fit the mold.

The more complex the experiment trying to close a loop-hole the more probable the bug slips in.

We've just gone from nothing to everything we have now in the space of 30 years, more or less. To complain that progress seems to suggest the author can't see the forest for the trees. Change goes in fits and starts, it's not constant. We've just experienced the most massive change since the industrial era and a little time for humanity to take stock and perfect the edges seems warranted, though I'd posit that now there is massive change happening in other areas, such as logistics as is mentioned. Granted, the money in advertising seems gratuitous and the results excessive but I expect this will transform soon into something even more sophisticated.

Taurine, omega 3, calcium, and vitamin D, the nutrients discussed in the article are all available from sources other than fish. If you take someone who has a diet that's deficient in one or more those and give them sardines, then it's not surprising to see improvements. But it doesn't show that sardines/fish are the only way to get those benefits or that adding sardines/fish to a diet that isn't deficient in those nutrients would have any benefit.

The fact that Inuit and Saami people have been able to survive on primarily meat diets only demonstrates that it's possible to survive on those diets, not that they are ideal in any way or better than any other diet.

Just apply to a research lab. I'm a scientist and work closely with non-PhD research engineers. Many institutions have formal titles .. e.g. at Microsoft Research, it was RSDE. Something similar at IBM Research (I worked with some amazing engineers at both places).

What makes a candidate stand out ... the ability to read papers and being knowledgeable about the topic. Lets take Super Res as a random example. Say you implement a project .. could even be a personal project. That might pique my interest if I was hiring for that role. What would make you a strong hire is if you had read the related papers on super res, knew the pros and cons of various approaches, etc. Now you would get a coding interview but IMO it is far less intensive than say a Google interview. Good luck!

There are many names that do not follow your rule, and generally speaking I'd find it very rude if I told you my name, and you'd go "let me fix that to the _correct_ spelling".

German "Streusel" is just the crumbly dryish component covering a cake or pastry made from a little flour, butter and lots of sugar. Streuselkuchen is a cake made with yeast dough covered in Streusel. Optionally, one can enhance this with fruit or vegetables, e.g. rhubarb. But cheesecake, cheese pastry (with a flaky pastry base) or fruity pastry can also be covered with some Streuseln.

Strudel is a bigger (generous 1 portion or more) piece of pastry (usually puff pastry, but plain pastry dough is also not unusual) with fruit filling, commonly apples and raisins. Often served with vanilla sauce.

Of those, I've usually seen strudel to have the original German meaning while streusel in english is usually used to mean Streuselkuchen with fruit.
I'm not a physicist so I could be wrong, but I think Bell's theorem assumes there is only one outcome for each measurement.

>How about, we need to massively step up our surveillance efforts on the current state of respiratory viruses going forward. Something like the Seattle Flu Study at national scale. This last point is true regardless of the origin story for SARS-CoV-2.

You literally just proved my point. The origin story isn't actually all that relevant to preventing future pandemics.

At the very least, people are concerned with the origin story far above and beyond its practical importance. It is at a point where you can safely assume that anyone preoccupied with the origin story is mostly interested in tribal shit-slinging.
