Another thing to think about is that “accidents” isn’t the only outcome that could be measured. I like my blind spot monitoring. But not necessarily because it makes me safer — I always turn my head to check blind spots anyway. But what it does do is make driving less stressful. Safety aids and driver assistance tools can make driving a better experience. That, in and of itself, is a worthwhile outcome.
> Ever wonder why the salesmen always want to negotiate a "payment" amount instead of a purchase price?

Well that's the point - say you want agree a purchase price for the car before you talk about how you'll pay. Do that and get an actual number from them. Then...

Offer to pay the agreed price cash and ask for a discount based on this - you won't get one because there's no benefit to the dealer in taking cash it's just an inconvenience to them.

or...

Offer to take at least a small a loan and ask for a discount based on this - you might get one because the way they are established means there are strong incentives for them to make loans.

In either case you can of course threaten to walk away if the price isn't right, but paying cash isn't going to increase your bargaining power it's going to diminish it - 'not only is this person wanting to pay less but they also want to fuck up my loan referral rate and fee and make me unpopular with my manager'. And at some point I presume you need a car so you can't walk away forever.

The idea that you're an attractive customer if you'll pay cash is a 90s thing.
Bad/long enough persistent flu can wreck your organs, too. This isn't undocumented.
If the first remains were found in 1939, how was there a gap of 80+ years before further remains were found? Is there someone who's familiar with archeology who can explain how?
I'm not sure it's connected to the origin of the word, but when I saw straw laid down in strawberry fields like this [1] I thought the name comes from that custom. I believe (still, I could be wrong) that the straw is put there to prevent weeds from getting sunlight.

If your OS/browser hides scroll bars, make sure you test with them always on. The notification panel has tw-overflow-scroll as a property, which makes it always show vertical and horizontal scroll bars even when not needed.

NASA nah, they transitioned to third party launch providers many years ago. They like making space vehicles more than rockets. The SLS, yes, that's a classic pork project.

ULA is the real problem. The government allowed all the launch providers to merge into one with no domestic competition. Think space Comcast. Other countries allowed the same. Nobody innovated for decades. Russia and US ULA are flying rockets from 50 years ago with minimal updates.
What I noticed is that the really cool scifi novels sort of disappeared.

The ones I remember that filled me with wonder were rendezvous with rama, gateway, ringworld, asimov's robots, etc.

Somehow they were replaced with more dystopian cyberpunk stuff.

I also think franchises like star wars/star trek sucked a lot of mindshare (steady paycheck vs independent writing). And fantasy has changed... lots of urban werewolf/vampire stuff.

(I don't know, maybe crappy stuff like this happens in all eras and I've forgotten the unimportant stuff from then)

I wonder if this has sort of stunted the growth of our imagination.
Why delaying? USSR has the most powerful army in 1939. USSR could have occupied Ploesti oil fields in 1940 that would effectively stop the war.
Creating a common border with your enemy is not a very effective way to "delay" from my point of view.
Excellent—that sounds almost like a Bayesian approach, where personality corresponds to the prior, the context in which the person behaves is the likelihood, and the posterior is a distribution of behaviours.

I guess a personal goal should then be to seek the context in which one’s strengths match best the demands.

I would suggest an MCMC approach but I guess the evaluation of individual outcomes is too costly to make this practical ;)
When you account for PoWs, the numbers are more equitable. Approximately 4 and 1 million German fatalities occurred on the eastern and western fronts respectively. The USSR took a further 3m PoWs, while the US, UK, and France captured 7.6m between them according to Overmans. Along similar lines, troop distributions again reinforce that both fronts were critically important to Germany. I'm sure many people will be happy to point out the issues with both of these metrics, but the different fronts were clearly very different places.
The dollar does rely on demand from new users of it to keep it's value for existing users, which is the same thing. Real terms are all that matter here.
> One of the biggest laments I've run into trying to help someone get businesses bootstrapped is some of the very lessons you just shared.

This is one of those things that makes hardware businesses so darn hard and something software-only startup folks just don't understand. The marginal cost difference and phasing of money you need to support, say 10K SaaS clients vs. shipping 10K non-trivial hardware products can be massive.

In my case the company was 100% bootstrapped. In retrospect I should have gone for investment as soon as we started to take flight. Frankly, I was too busy gasping for air (money) and absolutely overloaded with work to even consider it. Any investor type I spoke to was going to suck time and resources I simply did not have. So we kept going. Had it not been for the 2008 economic downturn we would have had an amazing exit.

> That sharing is so damn rare

Frankly, the experience was at the limit of darkness for me and sharing was nearly impossible for years. In December of 2009 I wrote a friend an email where, among other things, I said "I now understand, in no uncertain terms, why people jump off buildings or walk in front of trains during hard times". He was knocking on my front door within 15 minutes, after breaking the sound barrier driving from his office to mine.

No, I wasn't thinkin of ending my life. Not even close. It's just that the darkness I was facing at that moment in time produced a clarity of understanding I had never had before. I felt that I had full understanding of how someone could make that kind of a decisions. I was simply communicating the revelation I had. I can see how bad it must have sounded.
Apologies, I truly intended "out of stock" rather than "obsoleted" and agree 100% that there is a big difference.
Absolutely. I find the cladistics approach appealing. On a bit of a tangent I did some searching and found this[1]. Nightjars are cool!

Myers-Briggs is pseudoscientific bs. The only reason it’s so famous is that it’s an easy snake oil to peddle by consultants.

It was literally concocted by two persons without scientific method or context. It’s fiction. Some fiction mirrors life quite well, but that does not turn it into a scientific tool.

The only time Myers-Briggs has some utility is as a facilitation tool when a consultant needs to convince a roomfull of people that diverse teams are good, and that cognitive diversity is an asset and what it might look like. I.e. it’s a usefull proxy for a scientific measure when we’ve been brainwashed to trust only high-modernist fantasies and have no space for actual humanist rumination.
They do that because human focus on a single task wanes after ~50-60 min.
Here's the wikipedia definition of smartphone:

> A smartphone is a portable device that combines mobile telephone and computing functions into one unit. They are distinguished from feature phones by their stronger hardware capabilities and extensive mobile operating systems, which facilitate wider software, internet (including web browsing[1] over mobile broadband), and multimedia functionality (including music, video, cameras, and gaming), alongside core phone functions such as voice calls and text messaging.

Basically a feature phone does calls and text messaging - if it has a decent email client, web browsing and multimedia it's a smartphone. The iPhone 1 was a smartphone.
What? Why do you think the Intel 100GbE NIC is good?

We've been quite happy with Mellanox and Chelsio 100GbE NICs. The latest from each can do in-line HW TLS offload, which is a killer feature for us. No Intel NIC can do that.

IMHO the last good Intel NIC was the 10GbE "ixgbe" NIC. The design of the NIC was so tight as to be almost beautiful.

Recent 40GbE (and 10GbE based on the 40GbE chipset), and the new 100GbE NIC have the feel of being designed by a committee with endless features of questionable value stuffed in and consuming power and chip area.

Ntwadumela - "he who greets with fire"
RSpec was the first testing system that "felt right" to me. I had previously hand-rolled things in C and shell scripts for my C projects, and used a bit of JUnit, but for whatever reason the ease of just typing "rspec" and the language change to expectations instead of assertions was a lot more comfortable.

So, thanks Steven R Baker and everyone else for making software better tested and more reliable.
The very title is kinda scary, in the context that everything was kind of hacked onto JS. While it's probably important to understand, the 'answer' I think, without being ham-fisted, is probably to use Typescript in most cases.
IDE customers care about that latency lot more than slack/teams users do.

A lot of non technically focus look at keyboard while typing, they won't even notice the lag if they are not looking at the screen.

If there is enough customer demand/push latency is not that difficult to solve even on electron, browsers that they based on don't have this latency problem after all.

The market economics dictate features, well built apps are not what is necessarily selling.
I've worked as a contractor on and off for years. In the UK it was always quite easy to find, once you have a few years experience, you just go to the usual job boards and tick the box for employment type "contractor" instead of "permanent". e.g. [0]. First time round you'll get asked in interviews why you want to switch from perm roles, so prepare an answer for that. Most of the listings actually come from recruitment agencies, but once you've done it a few times you can build a relationship with the more reliable agencies who will start to send work your way before it gets advertised.

I have no idea if there are similar opportunities in your part of the world, and it's not quite such an easy option in Britain any more since the tax rules changed. But it could be worth looking for some equivalent.

Facebook implemented "2G Tuesdays" (https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/facebooks-2g-tuesd...) where developers would get 2G speeds when doing anything related to the website. That gives them the experience of people with very poor connectivity and probably improve their experience. Just like you said, if it runs OK on 2G, it can only be fast enough on 4G

No, it's only illegal for health insurance providers to discriminate based on genetic data, but other types of insurers are free to use it. The legislation that makes it illegal also doesn't apply if your employer employs less than 15 people.
It's entirely possible that these people are trying to find more productive jobs now that they have the freedom to pursue them.

The opposite may also be true, companies are trying to raise their productivity to reduce the amount of labor needed rather than just hire underpaid workers with no negotiating power.

Considering the lax lending environment cutting the amount of bullshit jobs that are not meaningfully productive to the economy may be a good thing over the long term. The stimulus payments have created a shift towards consumer spending which helps companies focus on customer needs than chase after investors for additional funding who effectively get to decide what services or goods should be provided to the economy.

And the GCWR can top 15000 pounds (my personal spec, though I had to custom order to get that combination). My 2018 F150 can tow a little over 10000 pounds vs the 6000 that my dad's 1995 F250 could tow. Things have definitely shifted a category or more. Similar comparisons for a current Ranger and an older F150. Basically, the older Ranger is an Escape with a hitch.

> People in the US don't even say that

While they talk about it less now because they’ve got other more current foreign issues for both military chest-thumping and blaming liberals, conservatives used to (at least, IME between about the mid-80s and about 9/11) incessantly talk about the US having won Vietnam “militarily” before political betrayal by the “liberals”.

Not endorsing any part of this view, but I certainly got subjected to it.
I don't think it has more authority or correctness. That's part of the joke. I've actually read various incarnations of this argument on the internet (mostly carried out on Reddit), and at this point I consider it to be somewhat of a meme. What I remember from all of the times I've seen it brought up is that some international standards committee declared and it to be "aluminium" and so some internet denizens (especially Europeans who already tend to pronounce it that way) proudly declare this to be the authoritative be-all-end-all resolution to the subject, whereas the other side (typically those speaking American English) remind everyone that the person who made the original discovery considers "aluminum" to be correct.

Why I am grouping "gif", "png", and "alumin[i]um" together here is that people consider some nebulous authority to be the prescriber of all things pronunciation. I personally think that pronunciation is derived from how it is commonly spoken, and not the other way around. Hence its inclusion in my playful ribbing. If I appeal to the correct authority, can I make them change their pronunciation? Maybe it wasn't very funny.
I wish at least few percents of grownups were as wise as you.
This is really absurd. By 1939 the Red Army was massively lacking in tanks, artillery, air power, and logistics. They could not have sustained an expeditionary offensive against Germamy, even in Romania. And while Ploesti had significant oil production, by 1939 Germany had alternatives and a lower oil consumption, so this would not have stalled the offensive.
USSR backstabbed Poland and occupied it since 1939.
There is an app that already does this (among a few other emergency services related things) in the US - PulsePoint. I can sign up for nearby CPR needed alerts, and be shown on a map where AEDs are.

I believe it was brought up when I took my last CPR certification 4 years ago, so it’s not exactly new.
The book "Personality" by Nettle gives the best layman's summary of the Big 5 model I've found. What I particularly like about it, beyond the summary of each aspect, is the way he frames it in terms of evolution and why being on one end of the scale for a trait is not "better." Agreeableness is probably the easiest one to understand from an evolutionary perspective. If you worry a lot about other people's needs, you're more likely to make them happy and reap the benefits of reciprocity, but you're also less likely to directly pursue your own needs. So it goes with the other traits too: being on different parts of the spectrum come with advantages and disadvantages from a reproductive standpoint. Conscientiousness and Neuroticism are the two traits most correlated with financial success in the modern world, but they had downsides in an ancestral environment and even in our modern world can have negative effects e.g. on personal happiness and wellbeing.
I feel similarly. It seems to have a lot of good things going for it.

When I first investigated it like a decade ago, one majorly offputting aspect about it is that I didn't see it as offering the capability to install multiple copies of things. I greatly prefer systems where i can blue-green deploy services locally, or otherwise have special purpose instances, and Nix, at the time, didn't seem to have much interest in that. I believe things have changed a lot in that regard, or perhaps my couple hours spent as an utter neophyte poking around for answers didn't surface the clues.

I would say that, these days, I am far less interested in configuring a system. I am far less interested in the desktop. To me, my time is 100% not worth investing in these goals. I am trying to focus on working with & orchestrating a fleet of machines, in a coordinated fashion. I believe free-software folks should all be re-investing, re-focusing similarly, in running & operating personal/manorial/federalized "cloud" systems. I happen to agree with a lot of the philosophy of Kubernetes- a desired state management system for resources, and controller/operators that autonomically enact & maintain that state- and invest my time & work trying to make it an useful fabric for my & hopefully my friends digital homes.
It's called pollarding.

There's also quite a few trees that can be a pain if you want them gone. You can cut them down to stumps and they'll just send suckers up and try to grow again. My dad has been having it out with a lilac bush since I was a kid. He gets pissed off at it - I don't know why as it's a lovely bush - and lops it down to the ground. It's usually back within the year. I know sumac in particular is incredibly stubborn. When you're trying to remove them in prairie management, the general practice is to lop them off a couple inches above the ground and then apply herbicide to the cut. Otherwise and sometimes even in spite of this, they just grow right back.

Historically, the prairies would burn every couple years. Native prairie grasses and flowers are adapted for this and regrew, but shrubs and less-established trees didn't fare as well. When humans figured out how to prevent the wildfires, those shrubs and young trees started to move into the grassland. Sumac tends to be one of the first infiltrators. Once a sumac stand is established, they shade out the grass. Larger trees follow and what was once grassland becomes a forested area.

Base sixty would be much worse for humans. There are too many digits to memorize, and the multiplication table is enormous. It does give you a factor of 5, but 5 is only so common because we use base ten.

Base twelve is better than thirty because you can represent 1/4 (0.3) and 3/4 (0.9) with a single digit.
That's something that crossed my mind, a 4-digits PIN is a weak password by definition.

But hashing them with the customer ID, date of birth, or something else, and using bcrypt to slow bruteforce down could already be an improvement.
