This is insane - are you arguing the Wikipedia should hire cheaper developers because they are a non-profit? Why stop there - why shouldn't Wikipedia fully cut corners and hire a body shop in a 3rd world country to build the site that millions of people use.

wikipedia SHOULD be paying competitve salaries so that their best and brightest don't leave to join tire-fire companies like Facebook. I don't know why you think someone working at Wikipedia shouldn't be paid a competitive salary if they work there; if not they will go work for Facebook and the world slowly loses out on an incredible resource while companies like FB get stronger because of misaligned thinking.

You are disparaging a CEO for making 350k/year for one of the highest trafficked sites in the world. For perspective, Zuckerberg's net worth places him at an effective salary of 3B/year (his current net worth divided by his age), nearly 10,000x of the guy you are saying is getting paid too much and potentially driving employees away from.

If your problem is the median personal income you don't solve that by trying to reduce the CEO of wikipedia's salary. Focus on that - it's your kind of attitude (why should a burger flipper get paid $15/hr) that is actually suppressing wages in this country.

GCC and LLVM have very similar structures, as do all compilers. LLVM IR is only special because it has a defined serialization.

Except for nuclear, all energy is actually solar. Fossil fuel is just buffered, compressed solar energy.
It was crazy how the same time this was happening there was a space shuttle battle going on over on the dark side of the moon because the Americans were bringing nukes and the Soviet’s were also launching a spec ops raid on the American lunar base to recover a potential defector. That was one crazy day y’all.

Canon Printer cost less than ink
I went to Walmart yesterday to buy a new cheap printer. I bought a Canon ink jet for $35 (model# MG2522). As I was leaving a Walmart employee checking receipts at the door asked me "Did you buy one of those printers that cost less than the ink?"

I said "Yes" and we both laughed. Then he told me "People buy 4-5 of those at a time because it cost less than buying the ink."
This is somewhat correct. "Space debris" does include both human and natural debris. Since most natural debris orbits the sun and most human debris orbits the earth, Nasa uses the term "orbital debris" to refer to human caused debris.[0]

The difference in location means that while more natural debris enters earth's atmosphere, that doesn't mean that chances of colliding with natural debris is commensurately high. Orbital debris spends much more time near earth before it burns up, so has much higher collision chances per object that burns up.

In fact, the chance of collision with natural debris vs orbital debris will be very dependent on the specific orbit you are discussing as orbital debris is not evenly distributed.[1]

I higly doubt that there isn't a significant range of orbits where the risk of damage from orbital debris exceeds the risk from natural debris.

Perhaps this isn't about nations, but about 1) how sad it is for such a unique species to be extinct, 2) a cautionary tale.

Also, where I live (Indiana, USA) we have a native paddlefish species that was nearly fished to extinction by a ring of criminals that were killing them for their caviar. I wonder if something like that was happening with the Yangtze version? (Article doesn't mention)

Most people aren't even aware of planned obsolescence. There's also very little data on how much of this actually happening as no company will admit to this practice. So really no one can make a statement on whether it's common or uncommon without a big data gathering effort.

The statement we can make that is very realistic is that companies are incentivised to do do "planned obsolescence" and because of this "planned obsolescence" has happened, is happening and will continue to happen in the future.
Many authors use WordStar. Here is George R. R. Martin taking about WordStar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5REM-3nWHg

Given how rampant ad fraud is in programmatic, I wonder how much revenue actually drops for these companies, relative to the decreased ad spend.

Uber’s [1] experience is one example:

“We turned off two thirds of our ad spend – $100m out of annual spend of $150m – and basically saw no change in our number of rider app installs. What we saw is a lot of installs we thought had come through paid channels suddenly came through organic.”

One DNA sample isn’t enough. You need dozens or more to repopulate a species. If you just had one or two, you would have to rely on inbreeding to repopulate which would create too many bad genetic problems from bad genes.

> No — if the targeting is less effective, the advertisers are not getting the same incremental value from the ads.

I mean... No again. Kinda. Advertising isn't magically gonna make money appear in the pockets of your customers.

Advertising influences how people distribute their income, influencing them this way or that (at least that's the goal).

If advertising becomes worse for everyone, which it did, those weights are just scaled by a fixed amount, arriving at the same end result.

The only winners are those who didn't advertise at all and only competed only on value. Those may see an uptick.
In my experience, it sometimes shows there and sometimes doesn't.
You are assuming they were aware of that capability.
Every REST argument:

- REST is standardized, because look at all the standards for it (OData, OpenAPI etc.).

- REST is easy, because I don't implement any of those standards.

- REST is flexible, because I don't even understand the constraints of REST and violate them at will turning it into RPC calls, thinking that it's about pretty URLs and CRUD verbs.

Honestly, it's pointless to argue with those folks. Let them believe REST is the solution. It's way above their paygrade to understand why GraphQL exists.

Your cafe charging $3-4 for coffee doesn't have to pay 30% to Apple.

They'd have to charge $4.28 - $5.71 to make the same as before - actually more, since demand would also be reduced due to the higher price.

Its likely that the cafe business would be basically completely uneconomic... we cannot anticipate the kind of ecosystem we could have if the platforms charged based on the service that they provide (which would be a few % points, with credit card fees as the main cost) instead of extracting monopoly rents.
That's a shame. Dams are extremely useful even if ecologicaly damaging. They provide clean and carbon free power generation and freshwater for farms and irrigation that would otherwise run out to the sea.

Hopefully we can invest in more research to reduce and remove the ecological burden of dams.
"The ASPI report said birth rates in counties with a 90 percent or greater indigenous population declined by an average of 56.5 percent from 2017 to 2018, far more than other regions in Xinjiang and China during the same period."

56.5% decline in birth rates in one year when the right sample is taken. Beyond shocking. Doing such a thing with your left hand while allowing more births for Han Chinese with your right hand must be seen for what it is: genocide.

It may be opposite, most of the amps follow some classic schematic (e.g. jtm, plexi, princeton) with insignificant changes, so after building digital copies of some limited number of classical amps they can add new one rather fast.

As result, fractal has about 100 high quality models already (average guitarist probably uses 5?).

> the ML approach doesn't require any knowledge

ML approach requires you to capture training data: which is different sound samples with all possible knobs positions (8 knobs per amp in average) + different types of speakers and mics, which is very huge number of variations.

> that's why the high cost

cost is driven by market, ML profiling competitors (kemper, neuraldsp) charge about the same for their devices.

Manually. It does take a lot of time if you're starting from such a large volume, but I don't see the worth of a photo collection if it's so unmanageable that you never look at it. That being said it really doesn't take that long to go through a thousand photos to delete a large percentage.

Obviously it's more manageable if you do it regularly.
There's definitely more than one side to this issue. Do be aware that it isn't just this one species affected by this dam though. There are likely dozens or more other species that suffered the same fate. Some of them may not even have been known to science before they disappeared forever. Dams are extremely hard on fish populations. The real shame here though is that there are solutions available to mitigate the interruptions caused by damming rivers. It appears none were taken though.

We have the same issue here in the US. I'm less familiar with dams, so I'll talk about the channelization of rivers to keep them navigable year-round for transportation of goods. The Missouri River used to meander to a much, much greater extent than it does now. It used to move back and forth over the course of hundreds of years between the loess deposits in the Midwest. This created a number of slow-moving backwaters where many species of fish would lay their eggs. The most common example of this is the pallid sturgeon.

With the straightening and taming of the river, they lost most, if not all of their breeding habitat. Capture of individuals that are under 15 years old that are not traceable back to a captive breeding project is essentially unheard of. Even adults which are not tagged and previously used for breeding are few and far between.

If you don't care about fish, how about birds? The Platte river was historically described as a mile wide and an inch deep. It was marshy, slow-moving, and full of sand bars where birds like the Piping Plover made their nests. In order to reduce the flood risk and claim some of that fertile land for agriculture, the stream was directed into a much narrower and straighter path. With more water flowing down a narrower channel, sandbars became much less common and were at much higher risk of being washed over, taking eggs and chicks with them. The interior population of the plover was drastically reduced. At the same time, the population on the eastern seaboard were being displaced from their dunes along the Atlantic Ocean. People like the beach, like living there and like playing in the sand. That habitat was taken over by homes and businesses and what was left semi-natural was used for recreation and the birds could no longer safely nest there.

Human use and animal use have to be balanced. Relatively few species can thrive directly alongside humans, but humanity isn't going anywhere any time soon either. It's not the fault of the 9-year-old who wants to run through the dunes that these animals are disappearing, but we still need to keep a certain amount of nature in its natural state so that we don't lose even more of our native species.

Dams are necessary in some cases to keep homes from flooding. However there's got to be a better solution that damming a river completely and building in what used to be valuable habitat.

I've bought cups of coffee that were bad enough to throw away for $4. Not often, but it's happened. It doesn't stop me from buying coffees from new cafes.

I reckon trying to solve this as though it's rationally thought-out is wrongheaded. I didn't consider and decide that I didn't like paying for apps, I just got used to not paying for apps. And indeed, once I got used to paying for apps again,* I stopped worrying about whether the $1 app would actually do what I wanted.

* Since we're sort of discussing what would prompt people to spend money, for me it was games. Free-to-play games are so reliably so annoying that I eventually swore off downloading them.
And many cups of coffee either taste bad or are bad for health, yet those customers still pay for those options and throw the cup away afterward. It's worth noting those cups of coffee typically cost more than $1.

Why lie or interfere if you didn't commit any crimes? These aren't random Joes with bad/no legal representation who didn't know what they were doing. You have to assume they were doing it to cover up more serious crimes and assumed they would be pardoned. Which turned out to be true.

AFAIK TLS doesn't make such attempts simply because that would make it quite inefficient. However, if you're using Tor (like you probably should if you want privacy for online browsing) the exit-node that fetches the site for you gets the leaky packet size, and the Tor cell -packets that transit from the exit node to you are static size (500 bytes IIRC). The number of packets can of course be quite revealing too, but all simultaneous data transfer over Tor adds noise to end-to-end correlation on your end.
