Do we all agree, dear reader, there's a distinction between distributor and you selling your used kitchen tools?

If you, dear reader, had a sole distributor agreement with an OEM would you do what you could to protect your reputation and the brand?
Agree. Not arguing about not having insurance.

Just saying that paying the ransom may be the only way out of trouble.
It becomes outright silly when US recruiters are charged with going through non-US resumes. We've had an Irish engineer being asked if this German university is "Ivy league equivalent". To which the only possible reply is "how the hell am I supposed to know?" There's 50-ish separate education systems, have fun making any sense out of it.

I don't think ransomware would be as prevalent, by an order of magnitude, without crypto. Nor with a govt controlled digital currency.
Because it is too easily replaced with something else [1].

I'd say it's the exact same reason why almost nobody can make a living wage off self-publishing app store apps. There's always an endless stream of volunteers who will clone your idea for next to nothing.

Plus the homepage doesn't explain at all WHY one would want to use this. So from a marketing point of view, you need to better demonstrate your value, i.e. what makes Babel useful and unique.

Relying on any platform you don't control is a bad idea.

Using it temporarily for what it's good at is great.

Relying on it and hoping for it to support you on a long term is not a good idea.
I agree. You apply to 20 identical places, only 2 call you. One called you because you worked at ACME, the other because they saw the word WIDGETS on your resume. It was the same damn resume and the perfect action word or format did not matter all that much. But I still spend hours on resume, even if it helps improve 1% of my chance it is a good exercise. I've seen people with terrible resumes, I don't want to be one of those.
They were trained in the paintings data (hence why I collected it!). That quality is from, I believe, the gan having some difficulty figuring out how to color each pixel. But I’m not sure entirely on that, though in the time since I made that, GANs have increased by magnitudes in output quality.
> Black people can read and self govern?

That's clearly not what we're talking about. Why would you mention that something obviously false has been disproven? It's a strawman. It's hard to read so much of your writing when you can make such extreme misinterpretations of what I'm saying.

> African American skin color exists for the same reason that Indian skin color exists, it's an adaptation to living close to the equator. This is a pretty weird objection.

That's quite simply not what black means in common language. It doesn't matter what the cause of the skin color is, the correlations with IQ and income are not the same.

> early African Americans also had Neanderthal DNA.

Yes. That's consistent with what I wrote. Again, you seem to be intentionally misunderstanding me. This is getting frustrating.

> So I'm still waiting for an explanation for why mixed-ancestor Blacks with European ancestors have the same outcomes as everyone else in Black communities.

Oh. didn't know that. Reference?

Anyway, still no clear evidence against "Blacks are genetically predisposed to being poor.". So I assume it doesn't exist.
It is not just Rosetta but the compiler toolchain, the long experience with iOS libraries running on ARM providing an almost identical API, multiple rounds of binary architecture transitions via fat binaries in combination with the app store.

Having said this Samsung has just to find a few buyers and kick start the software development in this iteration. Whether they can build momentum depends on the next model, on their software/hardware partners and on how committed they are.
There is no other way to run the world today under democratic regimes. Politicians will never win votes by promising to reduce govt debt.

The only sustainable way to run the world is to underreport on inflation using a flawed metric, which nobody is supposed to understand, such as CPI. And then let the real 8% or so inflation eat the govt debt away while the govt borrows money at <2% interest on treasury bonds.

These adjustments to CPI are not to be understood. They are designed.
Nobody mentioned cars.

> The saddest thing about this whole thing is that you’re carrying water for a charlatan.

Why do you think this?
I'm not sure if you're trying to say that is too much or too little. In my experience at several such companies, no one is putting in more than 2-4 productive work hours a day.
But true
> What the hedonic adjustment ignores the fact that many of the things people need to live are bought for utility, now how many added features they might have.

That's true.

> He is now going to have to buy 10% more toilet paper despite CPI reflecting no inflation in toilet paper prices

This is 100% wrong. I don't think anyone should be surprised that professionals who have thought about these things a lot were long aware that a hedonic adjustment is not appropriate for all things. Toiler paper does not get any quality adjustment (hedonic or otherwise) in the CPI calculation.

Babeljs has ~29 million weekly downloads via npm. If users counted it would probably be billions.
This is another case of tragedy of the commons. Individually, it doesn't make sense for a company to donate. I can't even resent them, since it puts the company at a (slight) disadvantage. Unless I was flush with cash, I probably wouldn't donate from company funds if I were an entrepreneur. But collectively, we would all benefit to fund something like this. (Edit: I like
culturestate's response of budgeting a small amount for this. Wish more people would do that!)

For me, another data point why our current economic system is not optimal, and we need at least more coordination, or maybe a better system.
AFAIU this is a fork of caniuse.com; the features it tracks are probably a strict subset of those.

The feature definitions seem to be maintained manually, at https://github.com/hteumeuleu/caniemail/tree/master/_feature... assuming it follows the caniuse.com community model, information about supported browsers is similarly crowdsourced.
> As long as you aren't trying to refute the fact that historically silenced people are the de facto authority on being "historically silenced", we're on the same page

Ok, I definitely agree with you about that

> No, I'm not calling for such an ideas to be discarded just because the source is "wrong".

Oh ok. I first got the impression that you did, thanks for replying and explaining

About the quote:

> When it comes to discussing specific experiences that minorities face,

I read that as having ideas about what to do about it, whilst you seem to have referred to what has happened to minority people in the past.

I'm thinking that "discussing" here is a bit ambiguous and I'm sorry that I didn't realize I had interpreted it differently from what you meant

> English is obviously not my first language.

Not my first either :-)

(btw I'm a bit surprised, I was guessing that you had grown up in the US in a primarily English speaking part of the country)

> You might be shocked to find that my close friends of diverse backgrounds don't see me as the strawman you described.

Oh, good to know they provide support. I just remember some ransom (was it notpetya?) that had a broken "pay" thing or some invalid mail... anyway, you couldn't get the key.

They don't show us the fragments of bone they have in that article.

"Then they used digital images and specialized software to find similarities between the relics – and differences from other cat species, which was just as important."

It sounds like they are using a computer model of some sort to make this determination.

A model that takes an image and is used to make a determination of a new species is not convincing to me. Models are only a hypothetical explanation. Having software feed in to models is even more detached from reality, IMO.

Models and software might lead us towards some area that needs further investigation, but they are not actually proof of anything, as this article seems to think.
Postgres can handle a lot more data than that without sharding and still perform well, especially for predictable table-scan-and-filter kinds of queries (which are pretty much what you want to run if you're doing the kind of denormalization the post you replied to mentions). Of course a column store would perform even better in many of those cases due to better compression / vectorization opportunities, but Postgres is really no slouch compared to other fully featured databases (research databases can blow it away though).
I find gnome more consistent and polished than Windows 10. They have done some wise design choices and created a fairly minimal environment that looks decent and not the confusing chaosWindows can be.

The point is, better UX does not always win.

Oh I wish I'd heard of this 2 years ago, would have saved me a lot of trial and error.
It’s not magic, just constraints. there are some obvious tricks (which have since been relaxed).

No unbounded loops for one. I think no backward jumps was previously a rule? I think the ability to tail call another bpf program was added, so not sure if you can accidentally loop forever between individually terminating programs.
Critique my resume?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xKLSoiRCl5eJbUR6-seefyGJ...

I'm sure there are people who think it's the worst ever, but I'm pretty happy with it. It has served me well over the years, and (maybe) even helped some friends who adopted a similar format and style to get their jobs.

Some things I strive for:

* No redundant labeling like "Name: <your name>, Education: <your degree>" etc. It should be obvious what's what. (and it saves space)

* Summary at the top (most people won't even read the resume, a summary at the top enables them to shortlist after a quick glance)

* Examples of tech used (mostly to trigger keywords)

* Plain English. Can't stress this enough - I hate resumes full of vague business sounding fluff. Eg (I'm just making this up but) "streamlined collaborative efforts and alignment between multiple business critical priorities" <-- wtf does stuff like this even mean? Doesn't pass a bs smell test.

* No bullshit. Eg no "improved x by y %" - you can list duties and actual accomplishments without resorting to that style.

* Comfortably fits on one page.

That said, improvements always welcome :P

While the spike protein is the same, there are differences in the overall formulation and delivery system. An additional booster shot from a different mRNA vaccine should be safe, but still needs to be evaluated. I wouldn’t be surprised if trials are already underway.
Yes. How is this even a question? You don't get to low-ball your employees because of their age or circumstance. If they work the hours, they get paid a living wage for those hours.

The time out from that high schoolers life is not valueless. If the employer wants to swear up and down the work is "unskilled" then they can pay everyone the unskilled labor rate which should still be a living wage.

The high schooler working part time isn't doing so because it's fun, they're doing it most likely because their family is not wealthy and it's helping put food on the table or pay bills or buy textbooks.
This isn’t predatory at all. This is a company creating a risk pool that is cheaper for organizations that believe they can self-manage ransomware risks. The ethical behaviour of an insurance company is completely orthogonal to what risks they choose to cover.

They have more than 20 million weekly downloads on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@babel/core, i.e., they are probably used by at least hundreds of thousands, if not millions of developers (not to speak of end-users).
Of course, in the JavaScript ecosystem, the same may be true for a 20 LoC package that provides a trivial function implementation, but that's a different story.

Blood clots happen at a rate of something like 1 in 100,000 people, the trial had something like 20,000 people getting the vaccine in it. Statistically its not surprising it wasn't caught. That the risk is probably not equally distributed just furthers that.

For the trial to pick up the blood clots, it would probably have to administer the vaccine to at least half a million people if not more (and you would need other people for the placebo arm). If the size of your trial is a significant portion of a medium sized country, you are not really running a trial but just giving out a vaccine.

The trial established it works, and any safety concerns are rare enough that the risk of not just getting covid but getting covid and having severe illness or dying from covid, is higher for most people. There is no 100% garuntees in life, the best we can hope for is showing that the risk is less than the alternative.
Yes, but hedonic adjustment is basically an attack of the bottom line of inflation as an useful metric IMO.

Inflation is typically used for measuring purchasing power.

IDK much about CPI because I'm not from the US, but in my country the IPC index (which is similar) has a lot of massage really hurts its usefulness.

Unless it's from a Nigerian prince.
Possibly, but at the same time I am fully aware that babel is used in almost all of the frontend nodejs projects I have been involved with. It isn't something hidden away, it's something you set up for a new project or likely see/configure a little from a templated/skeleton project.

So even from a development point of view, not an end user, I don't think its a far stretch to 'being used by millions of developers, and they know it is being used'.
They explain in the article that they get downloaded 117 millions of times per month from npm. When someone visits a website they don't download libraries from npm, those download numbers come from developers and build scripts but not from users.

So while it can be argued that a percentage of those 117M/month are on automated scripts, even with a very conservative number saying of 1% of them being genuine installs this still leaves them at millions of installs per year. So yes, it's definitely not disingenuous to say it's used by millions.

In analytic workloads MongoDB gets absolutely eviscerated on performance, it is absolutely not optimized for OLAP. Obviously, you've got to go with what you know and it's great that it works for you (though at your data sizes, I'm pretty sure you could also perform quite well by just loading all the data into a vector in memory in your application, or maybe even put it in Excel as another comment mentions :)), but generally speaking this article is aimed at people whose data is already in Postgres or are familiar with it and want to leverage it for OLAP. If that's the case, putting that data in MongoDB and performing worse on basically all fronts isn't a very compelling idea.
That leads me to think that twenty years from now that essential features in vehicles (sold in the US) will be emergency care related so that the owners can avoid the increasing cost of emergency medical care.

In 2040 no one will buy a mint condition '2020' vehicle because it won't include a defibrillator, IV fridge, and stowable gurney.
I think of insurance as the only pyramid scheme allowed by the governments across the world. The only legal pyramid scheme.
Yes, I buy everything above 50 euros straight from the manufacturer.

Nowadays, most companies sell directly to consumers, shipping is fast enough and you generally get a genuine, updated and properly stored item.

I usually make the following choice:

For the item I want, is there a brand I trust, eg that designs and produces a high quality item, if possible locally? For example, I know some companies for speakers, kitchenwares and appliances that produce here in the EU (and I know people working there). I buy from them directly, since I care about not getting a fake.

Or, is every product just a rebranding of the same thing from one or two factories in China anyway?
If so, I go to amazon and buy one of the dozen identical trashware versions and accept that it will break. This bounds my willingness to spend.

This strategy works for me. Only choosing Amazon as seller of last resort has reduced my issues with products to zero.

I typically compose all messages in Markdown and then convert that into rendered HTML. So if you believe in the expressiveness of Markdown (which I hope you do), then HTML rendering is absolutely necessary.

Unfortunately, desktop Outlook is miserable with HTML support [1]. In particular, code blocks and quotes become an unreadable mess. The only way that I've found to include readable code blocks is to copy from VS Code, which somehow has the magic HTML combination that Outlook understands.

Extrapolation of accurate time measurement creating entropy
And if you take old ppl at least over 100yrs old & had they been made aware of their age & count off days till BDay every year for months would they be in the middle of an irregularity of entropy caused by them being a human time measuring device where accuracy creates a continuous basis concentration of entropy thereby in and of themselves causing advanced physic to force them to live much longer than thought possible and has not a damn thing to do with smoking or the Mediterranean diet and that it is a de facto proof of concept God exists with an existential humorous side to Him? Idk! So I’ve asked Neils de Grasse Tyson to pontificate on this and if we don’t at least meet I will feel let down by science. See Twitter for his response to get enough publicity to get him to take time to respond while of course keeping meticulous watch on the clocks!!!
I've tried just about every sub-$50 thermometer money can buy, and I had a bad time with all of them. They're either laughably inaccurate (to the point of being effectively useless) or crap out suddenly or sustain minimal battery life or have some other fatal usability flaw. And I haven't found one that can tolerate any amount of moisture, so cleaning is always a risk.

So I bought a thermapen. I knew about them because I used to work in kitchens, and it's pretty much exclusively what we used there. After my experience with other thermometers, I can appreciate why.

It's expensive, but it's super reliable, pleasant to use, and lets me focus on other concerns as I'm cooking. Compared to my experience with other cheap thermometers which, last Thanksgiving, went something like "fuck, it died on me again, let me dig out my backup... fucking hell, that one's dead too"
Yeah, I had this reaction of like "yeah, only 21 hours? that's not too long"… Then it occurred to me, it's 21 hours at the _speed of light_, something we generally consider effectively "instant" here on Earth. Pretty fascinating stuff. I'm really happy to hear we're still getting transmissions back from Voyager 1 - from nearly 23 billion kilometers away, for that matter!

Also really interesting is the Voyager FAQ, even from the first question (about whether the cameras could be turned back on). "Mission managers removed the software from both spacecraft that controls the camera. The computers on the ground that understand the software and analyze the images do not exist anymore."

To play the devil's advocate, in an ideal world, you go out of business and another business that actually followed security best practices takes over.

Over time, companies start taking security more seriously. When it affects the users, they can just ignore, business as usual. But now, they can't just go on with their days, so that's the real accountability in my opinion.
Presumably they have jobs, that’s extra income.
I find MJML (Mailjet Markup Language) to be a solution for many headaches.
That's not cynical. That's just the lowbrow understanding of motivations. In that sense, any time you do something, you are only doing that because the utility to you is lowered. Sure, but that model provides no useful predictions about reality.

Everyone on the Internet always acts like this is some great revelation: "they're only stopping it because it doesn't provide enough utility to them"

Duh, that's what utility is. Honestly, it's so repetitive and each time it's presented as some insight when it's so trivial it provides no new value.
