It's not even really true for PlayStation or Xbox. They often launch consoles at a loss (or even just a break even price), but manufacturing costs quickly come down while MSRP stays the same. The PS5 has already hit this threshold if Sony is to be believed.

I went to Yellowstone a couple years ago over a holiday weekend and it was absolutely packed trying to find parking near Old Faithful or the prismatic springs.

However, if you walked literally 10 minutes onto a trail you'd reach a point where you'd start to only see people pass every few minutes. Completely isolated for the rest of the day.
While these are all valid and well thought out arguments, in this particular example, a whole class of problems and bugs were introduced specifically by avoiding simple loops.

Not to mention the performance implications. Parallelisation, composability and system thinking are sometimes overkill and lead to overengineering.
IMHO any code that tries to perform floating-point arithmetic on integer values and then produce exact output should be considered suspect in and of itself...too many edge cases.
The Open License program is a "normal" channel. Many small and medium businesses acquired their licenses for MSFT products that way.

I have to disagree with your implicit assertion that making more money = delivering more value. curl/libcurl earns $0, but delivers more value than a 2-year old *aaS that makes $2,000 in annual revenue.

Well yeah, the fastest way to ruin natural space is to let in too many people.

This is just national parks. There is a lot of wilderness that is not governed by that system. As another example, BLM land is pretty much free use.
It makes sense to me. There's a line between preserving it and enjoying it. We've had plenty of similar problems in the UK with staycation-ers enjoying their first trip out into the lake district, and leaving behind their empty beers, the remains of the cheapest tent they could find, etc.

If you've ever seen the leftovers of people camping at a festival, it's immediately obvious that there's a saturation point for things like this.

I work at an office that does 9 80. At first they tried the half one Friday, half the other, but switched to everyone in on the same Friday. Basically it annoyed and confused customers trying to reach people. It is just easier to say the joint is closed every other Friday than have the customer try to remember if they need to call Bill or John on Friday.

I got down the first one mostly. The second one is gradually improving.

But the third one is actually hard, because it is a double edged sword. My current strategy is to contain momentum so it doesn’t expand into obsession and deliberately give myself time to sleep over things.

Sleep is precious, it recovers but it also works your brain. You get perspective and connect dots.

I guess I‘m cautious because I was so bad at the first two, that I clinged on the third, which is exhausting and unhealthy.

When I imagine this scenario, and imagine the two options of a) walking away, or b) giving the guy a terse piece of my mind and walking away, I feel like in the case of picking a) when b) wouldn't have hurt me I would feel spiritually diminished.

Standing up to someone bullying you is the right thing to do, spiritually speaking. You also have to stop them from bullying you, of course, and the easiest way to accomplish that is often to walk away.

It isn't just near collisions. I was once stuck be a car with enough force that it bent my bike frame, ripped the mirror off of their car, and created a crashing sound loud enough for people to hear inside their homes. As far as I can tell, the motorist never even slowed down. The people who came to my aid were nearby residents and pedestrians. How I managed to walk away from that one with little more than (nasty) bruises is a mystery.

Other times attentive drivers exhibit attitudes that are less than redeeming. I once flipped on some streetcar tracks. Attentive motorists simply drove around me and went on their way. The people who did check up on my condition were pedestrians.

I've had a number of other experiences in my life that leave me feeling as though people cease to be human as soon as they get behind the wheel of a car. While there are exceptions, they are exceedingly rare. Getting back to the article, I am extremely worried about children being on their own on the streets. It isn't because of those who would intentionally harm them, since that is relatively uncommon. It is because very few people behind the wheel even seem to care.
> It was pretty cool to see who quickly they were comfortable with each other's traditions.

Thank you for sharing that. That was exactly my point, when neither group is interested in converting the other and are comfortable in their own traditions, the interaction is very civil and beneficial to all parties.

Hinduism had a rich tradition of Shastrartha (Sanskrit शास्त्रार्थ) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shastrartha where scholars debated the meaning and their interpretation of scriptures. Which meant that the religious books were always open to interpretation and never taken literally, which is unlike what we see in several modern religions where the text is applied literally and interpretations are considered sacrilegious.
The point of the "Igon Value Problem" is to have a term to describe popsci writers who create oversimplistic and overconfident narratives of complex domains that they know little about, often making basic errors and leading readers astray.

Whether or not I know about eigenvalues myself is a bit besides the point (although, yes, I did learn that in college).

NYS crowded, right? Well, just look at a map, e.g., via Google maps. Can look for lots of wilderness places in NYS, but, to make looking easy, just go to the Catskills or, better yet, north of Albany. There are huge areas of forest. For a name, try the Adirondacks. Somewhere up there they had a Winter Olympics -- plenty of ice, snow, and skiing!

Recently I escaped from NYS and went to east TN. There have the Smoky Mountains with huge areas of forest and hills.

Long lived in Maryland and often went to the mountains of VA -- huge areas of meadows, forests, deer, bears, etc., that is, Shenandoah!

And that's all well east of the Mississippi River.

Yes, technically, "Recreational land is much more sparse east of the Mississippi." but still huge. Yes, in Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Nebraska, it's harder to find people or buildings and easier to find wilderness!!!

But, sure, if go to Canada and north a few hundred miles of the border with the US, then find very sparse areas -- it seems that most of the people in Canada live not so far from the US.

But for the US again, if want wilderness, try Alaska. Of course we don't hear so much about the wildest parts of Alaska -- maybe the reason is so few people come back alive!

> Are we talking about Rowling's actual words, or what they were morphed into on twitter?

Her words. I read it. In the essay Rowling says explicitly that she doesn't think trans women should be allowed to use women's bathrooms or women's shelters, dismisses concerns about suicide rates in the trans community, and lumps in advocates for trans rights with Donald Trump and incels as part of a new wave of anti-feminist sentiment sweeping the liberal west.

I didn't find it well argued or reasonable, it's a rehashing of tired arguments that transphobic people have been making on Mumsnet and Fox News in the US for years.
How so if I'm B2C getting payment from PayPal? Maybe if I'm B2B and want to have a deal with some Germany company\institute.
I believe that is mostly correct. I think you will enjoy the video. It definitely taught me a lot.

It has been a while since I watched the video myself but here is my understanding:

The LEM had a “target” landing point and was fly-by-wire. There were two control modes, one for the descent and rendezvous (~”flight”) and one for landing. Both were fly by wire but one put the LEM in a desired orientation (as defined by astronaut input) and the second for landing.

In the landing configuration the LEM actually was landing itself and Armstrong was actually updating the target with the controls. Aldrin was instrumental in this process to manage literally everything else and calling out information for Armstrong who lined up the target point using special crosshairs on the window.

So in a sense all the LEMs “landed themselves”. Additionally they did have the capability to carry out (but not update) a pre-programmed landing. This was never done in reality but was simulated.

> When it came to Sen. Roy Blunt, a moderate Missouri Republican who voted no on the commission, Manchin offered a creative solution. “Roy Blunt is a great, just a good friend of mine, a great guy,” Manchin said. “Roy is retiring. If some of you all who might be working with Roy in his next life could tell him, that’d be nice and it’d help our country. That would be very good to get him to change his vote. And we’re going to have another vote on this thing. That’ll give me one more shot at it.”

Is it just me, or does this read like carefully worded cash for votes? To me this reads "If you could convince Roy Blunt that he'll be well compensated later if he votes a certain way". Is there a more generous reading? Are there any attempts for reforming this kind of vote buying on the horizon? Perhaps we should restore anonymous voting in Congress (perhaps deanonymized 40 years after the vote so that the public record is useful for historians)?
Your point is well taken; I recognize that there are many ways to make beans a staple protein without being a tasteless mush. I am just not sure that every person who says "just eat beans instead of meat" is considering that at the time. Both "meat" and "beans" are obviously reductive, so I can only guess there's some assumption that the reader/listener will adjust accordingly... but it still gives me strong classist vibes when someone associates low wealth/frugality with beans.

Darwinist evolution in this person's mind: by rewarding inside networkers and punishing late to the party outsider, you'd reach a state where everyone "cheats" to a point this behavior would be the norm.

If we push the wild west theory to its limit, we'd end up in a world where formerly insiders' financial news would cycle and ripple at super fast pace, akin to having a public mic in every trading floor.

This is probably what this person think would be the fairest: instead of a hard to enforce artificial safety, we'd have a transparent, free to join jungle.

But he fails to see most people arent sharks and therefore electors or noisy public representatives always push to slow things down.
This was applied in 100% of classes at my university in Sweden. A 14-16 lecture would start at 14:15, take a break from 15-15:15 and end at 16. The practice was frequently applied in student union meetings and events.

> I have said "I am a trans woman" many times in my life.

Me too!

> Can you please explain to me how "trans women are women" is transphobic?

The relevant statement is "trans women are trans women," which is how Adichie responded when asked if trans women are women. Of itself that statement is of course not transphobic, it's a tautology.

The problem is that in this case "trans women are trans women" and "trans women are women" are shibboleths for a set of beliefs about whether trans women should be seen as women (like lesbian women) in the eyes of society and the law. When people say "trans women are trans women," and go on to say that because we're trans we shouldn't be allowed in women's bathrooms, and other spaces for women, with the unspoken implication being that we aren't "real" women, I think that's transphobic. I don't know all of what Adichie believes. I know she finds JK Rowling's views reasonable, and that she has hinted at agreeing with them before (such as in this instance.)
>Pigs have historically served foodwaste and sanitation roles.

But that's not the primary function right? In other words, once the pig is fat enough to eat, it's slaughtered. This is as opposed to something like a chicken where it's deliberately kept around even when it's ready to be eaten.

>Male cows are best known in their neutered form (a surprising number of people think that oxen are their own species). They’re instrumental beasts of burden

Are those the same breed? Presently we have different breeds of cattle for different purposes (eg. the black and white kind for milk production). Is that a relatively recent development? Or were there "milk cows" and "beef cows" back in the day as well?

This is really great. I think it is about what and how one is being tracked. I think people are trying to stop companies from tracking them everywhere but if I am interacting with a single company, I know they are tracking some things. Foe example, if I buy off of an e-Comm website then they should have tracked my order so I can go back to it.

This extends to support. I hate submitting a support ticket to just be told to go view the docs that I already viewed, or try things I have already done. As a customer, I want you to know I did that and to help me.

All this is trying to do is allow company to understand their customer within their own platform and own data.

This is not trying to fingerprint users or track everything they do on all websites like Facebook and other platforms.

I hope this clears up the motivation. In short, it is to resolve issues in using the data that a company has internally and is not about creeping on users across the internet.
Are we doing press releases now, old one at that
I think of this stuff separately.

1. The government can always use the excuse of "public safety." However,

2. A company that's selling brooms shouldn't have all kinds of access to tracking people. The public doesn't benefit from that.

What makes you think patents prevented photo mosaics? There were multiple programs anyone could buy for $50 over 20 years ago.

The basic technique is to scale down images and treat them as high dimensional points, then match them with patches of the main image, also treated as high dimensional points. This can be done efficiently with high dimensional nearest neighbors.

You might be thinking of SIFT, which was a patented and part of the methodology was more efficient high dimensional searching using best bin first kd-trees.
The sentiment and logic here is good but I think all employees have to agree otherwise wastes some time for those folks who do show up on time.

My personal observation is the timing matters less than the number of participants. More people usually equals less insights and more wasted time. One rule could be "if you can't emerge with an action item you shouldn't be here." But I'm not sure if that's practical as an organization grows and social/political relationships matter more.
I would say if you don't want to read the drivel, just answer the prompts. We're probably all guilty of trying to passively grow somehow, by reading or watching novel things, when the only way is to perform actions, right?
