> Most of this seems to be typical in above-average newer apartments in Denmark.

Yeah, I think this is the point that matters. Don't know about Denmark, but in France only recently standards started to take into account noise. In Paris, most housing stock is from before 1990 [0].

There are some very old buildings (<1900) which I think may be fairly quiet (prefab wasn't a thing yet) and supposedly newer buildings (>2000) are quiet also thanks to the laws. I've never been in the latter, but have been in an older one (not sure about the year though) and it was very, very silent AND cool despite the hot summer outside and lack of AC.

>Which all but eliminates most fast food and the majority of prepackaged foods/snacks/etc. Portion control became incredibly easy.

One prevalent theory about why just about elimination diet works is because of this effect of an easy decision heuristic to make smarter food choices. That seems more plausible to me than a single instance of the gluten in a 150 calorie bun being the culprit (unless you have something like celiacs disease, of course). Regardless, I’m glad you found a regimen that works for you.
>Economics has never been my strong point. (see my bank account for proof)

Microeconomics and macroeconomics aren't the same thing. Just because markets are going up doesn't mean you actually own enough resources to benefit from it.
>In the US, we are used to thinking of "crime" as just another political issue. But observing countries like Mexico and South Africa, where gangs and police forces have started to merge, has helped me realize that there are important nonlinear effects.

In the US we have legalized extortion, which have a benign term: taxes. Take away the taxes and the people in powers will morph in not what is considered the mafia. To me they are both, sides of the same coin.
Notice nobody actually tackling the “performance issues” part of this, because that is the real problem most experience. A standard implementation gives you n+1 in many scenarios (assuming you don’t have GraphQL on top of a single SQL database or something along those lines).

So how do you fix that? Well you’ve got to do query introspection to resolve certain queries in a more optimized way. Which tends to be more complicated than just…doing exactly what you want to do via a REST endpoint.

Now I’m not saying this isn’t worth it. In many cases it probably is assuming the people implementing your GraphQL server are competent engineers that will be able to optimize where it matters and make it scale. IMO it’s just worth recognizing that it does take more skill to implement a GraphQL server well.
Abstractions are about carving up the problem space into conceptual units to aid comprehension. But these abstractions do not suggest lower level details don't exist. What they do is provide sign posts from which one can navigate to the low level concern of interest. If I need to edit the code that reads from a file, ideally how the problem space is carved up allows me to zero-in on the right code by allowing me to eliminate irrelevant code from my search. It's a semantic b-tree search. Without this tower of abstractions, you have to read the entire codebase linearly to find the necessary points to edit. There's no way you can tell me this is more efficient.

Of course, not all problems are suited to this kind of conceptual division. Cross-cutting concerns are inherently the sort that cannot be isolated in a codebase. Your example of cache locality is case in point. You simply have to scan the entire codebase to find instances where your code is violating cache locality. Abstractions inherently can't help, and do hurt somewhat in the sense that there's more code to read. But the benefits overall are worth it in most contexts.

"The people most capable of taking the action items are assigned it. This could be expertise, resourcing, proximity, etc."

Expertise and proximity are facets of responsibility (well, technically they are facets of knowledge, but ideally knowledge, empowerment, and responsibility are aligned, else things ALSO won't get done). Resourcing is a red herring; I've seen things get assigned to teams based on "they have the capacity", without it being an area whose domain they're familiar with (i.e., they don't work in that area, and ergo are not responsible for the outcome) - those things rarely get done, and never get done well.

I’m talking about misogyny, not all bigotry.

The definition of misogyny literally includes intent, perhaps you’re thinking of something other than misogyny.

Here’s the definition from Wikipedia [0]… “ Misogyny (/mɪˈsɒdʒɪni/) is the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. It enforces sexism by punishing those who reject an inferior status for women and rewarding those who accept it.”

You also didn’t answer my question of what negative information you wouldn’t interpret as misogynistic. Is it possible to report anything negative based on biological sex or gender that you don’t interpret as misogynistic?

How can these differences be studied and discussed to learn more and overcome harm caused toward women?

> I have seen a handful of launch start-ups trying to create lower cost launching to get into low-orbit. My concern is that by lowering the bar to entry we will be putting up lower quality products and also increase the magnitude of objects in orbit.

Launch start-ups are the least of your concerns, SpaceX the most established provider is, they are lowering the price far more then any new startup. The start ups are actually very expensive in terms of cost to orbit.

> It feels to me that it shouldn't be only considering launches but rather the entire lifecycle of the operation.

They are, this is already regulated. If you launch something to get a license you have to show how your whole lifecycle will go.

The problem that is left is about what to do when your sat fails and can not complete the lifecycle. As of yet there is no requirement to complete it in such a case.

Such a requirement will come once we reliably demonstrate how to de-orbit dead object and there can be a price put on the service (and therefore instance will insure it).

Up until Covid stopped business travel, my Chinese colleagues brought home as much infant formula or follow up milk powder for toddlers as they thought they could get away with when visiting HQ in Germany, and always asked us to bring some with us when we went there. Lots of stores here had limits on how much you could buy at once because of that.
Re fun stuff to do, you can speculate. In 2017 I put a modest amount in some ICO and it went up 100x. That was actually more fun for me than trying to make Compuserve work back in the 90s.

One of the most interesting aspects of crypto to me is it's like printing money - having held some bitcoin and having it in an account is rather like the government printing it and giving it to you as a grant. It doesn't directly create goods or services but it does have an effect for better or worse.

The nascent cryptocurrency economy experienced a deflationary crash due to the hyperdeflation baked into the protocol. The currency became useless as such and was mostly abandoned, and then the shell of it was picked up by scammers who are now using it to run a Ponzi scheme.

I’d put that deflationary crash right at the point you mention. I remember it. Bitcoin ran up to crazy levels in 2017 while it was simultaneously abandoned, which is what a deflationary currency collapse looks like.

Bitcoin’s designer(s) were brilliant cryptographers but crank economists. There’s a reason nobody takes that kind of superficial pop Austrianism seriously. It would be possible to design a viable cryptocurrency but it won’t happen until the current crop of cranks and scammers goes away. Right now anything actually workable in the space is tainted by the nonsense.

The intuitive notion of "creative destruction" has of course been around for a long time, but here the author seems to be floating a proposal for intentional, controlled, and large-scale demolition of specific physical and/or institutional economic infrastructure.

Of course economic systems generally meet some notion of antifragility, at least to the extent that they are distributed. The question is how big of a wound can one inflict before compromising the ability of the system to restore and strengthen itself.
I can hardly be faulted for not having enough information to say if the prohibition will work on a longer time scale, and I even acknowledge this when I point out the risk that Syria's use may embolden others. I also fully admitted it did not have a perfect track record.
So you are faulting my argument for issues I already acknowledged and addressed in the context of my claim: for a weapon that is cheap and easy to produce we have seen fairly little use of it.

Regardless of what comes after this, we can say that the prohibition worked reasonably well for at least 100 years. I'd certainly be happy if we got even 25 more years before fully autonomous lethal drones became common place, and a prohibition on such weapons could buy us so e time on the issue.

Eben Upton – The Story of Raspberry Pi
Yes, very much so -- "natural" types have been known to recommend just using baking soda instead of toothpaste.

FWIW, brushing is the more important part (even without paste it probably does most of the good), but modern toothpastes are better than baking soda because they are more abrasive and because they contain fluoride. Baking soda's main utility for toothbrushing is its abrasiveness, but it's a little too soft to be optimal.

To get the most out of your toothpaste's fluoride, spit out your toothpaste and do not immediately rinse. You don't want to swallow large amounts of toothpaste, of course, but the film does more good than harm -- https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-body/how-to-keep-your-t... "Don't rinse your mouth immediately after brushing, as it'll wash away the concentrated fluoride in the remaining toothpaste."
To be fair, unless Apple collaborated with Microsoft before the launch, it's not trivial to add that as a target to the pipeline in a production ready environment. I'm not even sure Apple allows any virtualized instance which poses a major impediment to implementing this. One can always use a self hosted runner to make it work.
.NET Core is a great example. Microsoft directly benefits from gaining market share among developers — it helps them sell Azure, etc. Open sourcing it was absolutely necessary to remain competitive. They did it because it’s the right business decision.
Unfortunately, for a lot of people, many principles which were previously non-negotiable have become subordinate to short-sighted tribalism.

I'm not sure why that is, exactly, but a credible hypothesis might be that by living in filter bubbles, people simultaneously become less exposed to the shared humanity of their opponents, and also rewarded by their in-group for the "righteous anger" they express towards those opponents.

After all, if you're sure that your opponent is going to lie or cheat or kill you, then what's so bad about lying or cheating or killing them first? It may even feel like you're de-escalating the situation if you "only" censor people who you think are going to kill (someone like) you. (Don't get me wrong, some calls to violence definitely shouldn't be spread, but I think that people are too quick to justify their censorship that way).
It's a nice thought, but nothing would happen. They might even just cancel the chat to annoy you. Or they might continue asking you questions. In either case they wouldn't owe you money for it. They didn't engage into a contract with you just because you sent them that message.

That said you might have certain consumer protections you're not aware of. I had cell phone plan with Comviq here in Sweden that I wanted to cancel and they said on their website that I needed to call. Swedish law requires my being able to cancel in various ways (e.g. sending a letter, or sending an email, etc.) regardless of what they said in their initial contract. So I found an address and just sent them an email stating I wanted to cancel. In a day or two it was done. I presume they know they are legally required to do so and so they did what I said, but I'm also sure they happy to provide conflicting information making consumers unaware of their rights. I reported their website to our consumer protection authorities, but I never heard back.

More like a tit-for-tat show of support for Belarus on the part of the Russians.

I saw a televised meeting between Putin and Lukashenko yesterday that ended with Lukashenko making the statement that went something like "the Bolsheviks rose to great heights, and we will match them", to which Putin chuckled, demurely. Its maybe not obvious to Westerners, but they are trying to rebuild a "Union of ex-Soviet States" in the region these days .. one by one, preparing a Bloc that can be an attractive partner to the EU, I suppose.

With these kinds of tit-for-tat responses, though, I guess its a shrewd strategy. "If we are allowed into the EU econo-bloc, such re-routes won't be necessary", seems to be the planned negotiating point ..
Apparently they didn’t buy enough stock to profit from it, though?
Implying it's not a real addiction because it's a coping mechanism is so off. Like you're not really an alcoholic if you just drink to escape the trauma from when you went to war.

My understanding is that addiction is avoidance at its core. You're either avoiding the cravings, the withdrawals, or something else all together.

There doesn't have to be some other underlying issue. People get hooked on opiates in hospitals. Then they keep doing them to avoid the withdrawals. Doesn't mean they're avoiding something in their life. But it still counts as addiction if they are!

Yes, and without a case file that evidence counts for exactly nothing. When it's this much money, you get to go to the police, report fraud, and back it up with the UPS shipping information. Now you now have case number and legally recognized evidence that you can take to the seller, so that they can be reasonably sure you're not just trying to get free money.

Because again, it's the internet, just doctoring a UPS web page and printing your own shipping label is trivial for anyone who stands to me $7000 if they get away with it.

> Then again Turkey could go full Islamist crazy and be more Saudi Arabia and Erdoğan could declare himself president for life.

It would never happen. Turks are Turks first and Muslim second. Erdogan is a neo-ottomanist, not a salafist.

He’s as much of a Muslim as Trump is a Christian.

Now I do see him trying to sell more of the nation to Saudis and Emirates while also forcing enough pro-sunni legislation down our throats to keep the Conservative / Nationalists happy and ensure that Saudi / Qatari investment coming and to ensure he can profit like a bandit off of his pre-doomed “Islamic Finance” initiatives.

However, Turks are fairly centrist by American standards. They drink, a lot (alcohol tax revenue is crucial to the government, as well as direct sales as the government still owns some of the Raki and Beer production), smoke weed, party, are getting married and having children later in life, and fewer.

I watched the sweaty shirtless guys beating mislead soldiers to death during the failed coup a few years ago. They weren’t shouting allahu akbar while they did it. They waved Ataturk flags and sang the Izmir march.

Paper currency is a couple millenia older than the printing press, using woodlblock printing.
A Turing tarpit can do the same, too.

Where are your arguments? There are exactly zero and now everyone in the thread has to work to debunk these baseless claims.

There are exactly two almost valid points in here:

The default implementation has some overhead (for query validation). That may cause performance issues.

If you deliver public data where the full response can be cached, then REST makes that slightly easier (GraphQL discourages transport by HTTP GET).

I have worked with both for many years, GraphQL solves many real world problems. However you might only understand that as a full stack or frontend developer. If you only write APIs on the backend it appears pointless of course.

I'm only a perl novice, but the code here seems well written and would be easy to follow if I knew the subject matter better. Seems like a few globals and a bunch of subroutine calls.

> This notion of comparing chemical manufacturing to an addiction is insane.

Humanity managed to survive for thousands of years without mineral oil. The problem with our current economic system that depends on infinite growth is that, similar to a pyramid scheme, the growth will end at some point in time - when all resources are exhausted. And that will be the equivalent of going cold turkey.

The better solution is to, indeed, wean off humanity of its dependence on way too cheap oil and its byproducts before the pain of doing so gets too high and no action will be taken at all, which will turn into a disaster. And yes that includes eliminating certain classes of product entirely (e.g. plastic bags, single use bottles), switching vehicles of all kind to electric where possible, mandating longer product life times and repairability and a lot of other things.

> biofuels will refine themselves.

Just a sidenote, biofuels are about the worst thing that humanity can offer. Climate change already causes massive food insecurity with droughts and floods, we can't really afford it as a species to use arable land for growing fuel instead of food for billions of people.
This is far to simplistic. The danger of different sat depends on a huge number of factors. A hard limit is nonsense proposal.

There are tons of ideas and plans that have been put forward there is no lack of those.

There is a lack of international cooperation to establish international law. And even within national regulation there is a unwillingness to fully crack down in fear of driving sat providers away.

The time in the RNN might be the only thing that's hard. We can commonly do A/D, D/A pretty quick. I can make a db request over a network, have it parse the SQL, execute it reading a bunch of SSD pages and return the sorted results in about 1ms.

The answer would probably be to reduce the 'learned' output to be a convolution kernel that gets run rather than the RNN itself on the input. Then the kernel only has to change gradually to produce a different sound not continuous processing to produce a particular sound.
