No they are not making the choice. There is way too little information to make that choice. Which chicken package tells you how many weeks the chicken lived?

And this type of demand is pretty inelastic. You can make a pound of chicken 25 cents cheaper or expensive an demand won't budge at all.

What you are subscribing to is market fetishism - something that works only in Econ 101 classrooms, not the real world.

Consumers want rainforests to not be destroyed for example. But how many consumers know that they are destroyed due to palm oil production? And which customer has the ability to track down globalized supply chains when choosing an ice cream, when their kids are screaming nearby?

I think the distaste for Day One’s subscription stems from the fact that an update removed the ability to sync on the user’s platform of choice (iCloud or Dropbox) which they were already paying for, and forced them into the first-party service.
> This isn't true, this form of conditionals can be compiled into cmov type of instructions, which is faster than regular jump if condition.

IIRC cmov is actually quite slow. It's just faster than an unpredictable branch. Most branches have predictability so you generally don't want a cmov.

Speaking of which, a couple questions regarding this for anyone who might know:

1. Can you disable cmov on x64 on any compiler? How?

2. Why is cmov so slow? Does it kill register renaming or something like that?
Not a satire. I notice that people who presume government itself is incompetent haven't lived in multiple jurisdictions and seen how impactful effective government is vs ineffective government.

We could do a lot worse than go with EU Regulation 889/2008 (i.e european definition of organic)

See Article 12 for poultry. There are details about how they should be kept, density, materials (e.g. straw or turf), lighting conditions, access to perches, access to outside space. Minimum age at slaughter is 81 days.

Wow, and everyone said that all that math for a CS degree is useless, finally the time has come! /s

So, how come no one caught the error before publication? How come Gladwell did not even look up what an igon value is? Etc.

Everyone makes mistakes, but seemingly the more successful the author the more responsibility they should bear that their overall point is correct and useful. And Gladwell serially misses these marks. At least that's how I interpret these arguments.
You assume that I have a browser that starts up quickly, or that it's not already loaded with a hundred other tabs on a good day.

For the same reason walkable places that currently exist are expensive. People want to live there.
Or, Lab grown meat would be a good solution.

edit: Lab grown chicken exists, its just wicked expensive at the moment. Just a matter of time.

I'm a vegan so they would be eating the same food I do. I never eat out and barely ever try the expensive vegan faux-meats.

Adding a few spices and a can of tomatoes make beans and rice delicious. Chana masala, black bean bowls, navy bean soup, the number of dishes you can create from a base of rice and beans is innumerable and they're all relatively simple.

The same could be said about unseasoned chicken meat on rice.
Yep thought the same thing, reminds me of kube2iam, IRSA is a much better solution and obviously where AWS want to go. So yeah this one isn't going to get changed.

Computers also go arbitrarily large. Not infinite, but arbitrarily large.

Pigs have historically served foodwaste and sanitation roles. But you bring up a great point, and it’s one that anthropologists have remarked on as a potential source for religious taboos around pork (pigs just aren’t that useful compared to other animals).

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. But again, industrialized agriculture doesn’t have much use for them.
This is definitely an example where "character" was the wrong word. We start out OK with bytes being distinct, but by the end we're talking about how a character is made out of several characters. If we think in terms of code points (Rust's native char type actually provides here a slightly different thing, a Unicode Scalar Value, which certain types of code point are not, but close enough) clearly a code point isn't made out of several code points, so we needed a different word.

I like squiggle, if you're a text rendering engine you might want to use "glyph" although you might already need that word for something else. But try to avoid character because that word already has far too many meanings, most of which won't be what you wanted.

100 on the tone. I can't stand it either.

Focusing on the point: let's all agree astrology is dumb and immature, sure. However, if your goal is to actually understand what moves a market (and presumably make money), I think it rather inexperienced and ruinous to ignore the effects of millions of people, who may be open to being influenced by astrological events, participating in the market.
I grow up in a small town in Poland. I was walking on my own to preschool since I was 5 (it was about 400m from the house).

If I had kids I'd let them free roam the city.
Seems odd that the author uses grandiose titles like "The Story of Lex" and "The Story of Yacc" for a few paragraphs of unsubstantiated history. This type of exaggeration makes me skeptical about the accuracy of their claims.
Productivity increased per week, not just per hour which is significantly different.
The first example doesn't seem that bad. No intervention cannot reduce something if it isn't there to begin with.

The screening should be disclosed in the methods (and, ideally, pre-specified), but you do need to account for floor/ceiling effects somehow.
You're confusing efficiency and productivity. Your example is correct but is about efficiency. In the case of Microsoft Japan, 40% more work was done in four fifths of the time, which is a greater than 40% increase in efficiency.
Is it possible the TNH’s book title is “no death, no fear”?
I would think so.

I don't work on parsers and grammar day to day, so I might not be the best person to ask about this. I am interested in the subject though. I just don't get to work on this in my current day job.
Everyone ignores early endings, late starts is so much better!

To be fair Day One might as well be Apple only because the Android app doesn’t even support E2E encryption.
Um, these technologies enable a larger human population, which then causes problems. Tractors enable ever larger tracts of the best land to be devoted to farming, to enable a larger population, to need more land to cultivate, etc.
Improv Wi-Fi: Open Standard for Setting Up Wi-Fi via Bluetooth LE
I know people, including me and my kid, who absolutely refuse to buy a VR system that requires a Facebook login. Of course I don't have numbers to back this, but I suspect there are quite a lot of people who feel the same way.

Here's a worst-case hypothetical reason why: people will watch porn on VR. Maybe not everyone, but a lot of people. Even people who wouldn't want to watch it regularly are likely to get curious and check it out at least once to see what it's like. Now, raise your hand: who wants Facebook having access to their porn habits?

Oculus-the-tech is cool. Oculus-the-Facebook-client is completely dead to me. No way, no thanks.
Please report back, I’m always interested in feedback on how the product is performing from a user experience perspective. Also recommend trying to login to your social security account with it, as it’ll take you through an identity proofing flow where a government ID (which you’ll provide photos of front and back) is used for proofing.
The wildest one was some guy busts in on a bike, fills up a big bag with stuff and takes off to the sight of nonplussed shoppers... this happened just recently.

But yeah, cheesy pudding is just goading people to fire him at this point.

You can’t blame a store that clears in the order of $1000 profit per day to stay open in the face of greater losses from unprosecuted theft.

You can’t make up for losses in volume.

It's especially ironic given that this is about a StackOverflow code snippet that many people probably also copied without reading.
Yeah that seems like a serious flaw to me too. On my Python:

AWS has a very data driven culture, almost to a fault. They are extremely customer-centric, but almost too much so.

For any item on this list, if someone at AWS with the necessary authority thinks it's a good idea, they can't just find an engineer and have it implemented.

First, a PM has to talk to a bunch of customers of varying sizes to see if the feature would be useful to them and if so what their use cases are. Then they need to scope the project, write the press release, have it run through a committee of Principle engineers, and come up with a spec. Then they need to take that spec back to the customers for feedback.

After all that, it will finally get onto a list to be added to the roadmap in the future. Then it will get onto a roadmap hopefully. And if it's not "next quarter", there is a really good chance it will fall back off that roadmap.

Then it will finally get implemented and launched in private beta for key customers who expressed interest. Then a wider beta. And only after all that will it get released for everyone else.

I understand the need for some of that process, since when it launches it will be instantly available to millions of customers and will need to scale. But there has to be a middle ground here. Like: customer asks for feature, engineer builds it and makes it available only to that customer with the caveat that it could break or change at any time. Then iterate from there, maybe slowly adding in new customers while at the same time talking to customers and integrating their feedback. And maybe that does happen, but I've been part of some pretty big customers, and I can't think of a single time we got a feature right away that went through major changes. The best we ever got was "special important customer" just before a wider beta. But by then the API was basically set.
Interacting with children who have smartphones. Both as a child myself and now. Obviously it's not a universal truth, but I've seen it more than 10 children who suffer from this which is enough to convince me that it's a risk.

I live in Seattle and the water is clean, the electricity is constant, the safety is high, the air is breathable. This is the same and different than other places I've lived like Nairobi, NY, Austin, Long Island, the UK, etc... Governments are the big differences between these places.

While there is a coercion aspect to it (people can't burn trash in their yards), there is also an execution aspect to it (roads are paved, electric lines are maintained).

Some governments are better than others and many are truly evil.

Grantors like Scott could give to the best governments and reward them for their effectiveness and accountability. This is similar to how she gives to high quality charities but not low quality ones. She could do the same with government recipients.

Construction should be a 4 day work week.

I remember my father telling me about a push to a 4 day work week in the 80's at local 6 in San Francisco.

For some reason, the union officials didn't want it. Looking back the contractors probally nixed it?)

I remember how sad my father was over that. He was getting older, and wanted a job easier on his body, and he thought the 4 day work week would be enough time to start a side business.

I did electrical for awhile, and mirrored his thinking. I used to think 10 hr days were not a problem. (Union construction. Mon-union construction is way harder work.)

I’m 36 and about two years ago I stumbled into reading about the experience of what it’s like to have ADHD. As resistant as I was (and I was very resistant to the idea that I could have ADHD) I couldn’t ignore the fact that what I was reading was like it was written about me. The only moment in my life where I’ve had such a striking sudden feeling of understanding myself is when I realized I was gay (I was probably 10 or 12.)

I ended up seeking out and went through the entire process of neuropsych evaluation, never having been in therapy or anything similar in my life. The experience felt thorough and science based.

The outcome was inconclusive. I scored abysmally on many parts of the evaluation, and my history was pretty typical of someone with ADHD - constant academic struggles, a hard time building interpersonal relationships, trouble managing my emotions… amongst other things.

The counter-points they offered - on paper I’m in a successful career, have a successful marriage, and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m obsessively organized in some areas of my life (probably to a fault. As a child I definitely was not.) They chalked my struggles up to anxiety and I pretty much stopped pursuing the idea that I might have ADHD.

Stumbling across a lot of people here who seem to have had similar experiences I’m back to wondering if it’s something I should explore again. I feel like every day I’m struggling through things that come easily to a lot of people, putting in 3x the time for 0.75 the output. I also know that I’m someone who, for whatever reason, has a high tolerance for un-ideal situations.
The point isn't about solving the problem, but at the very least spelling correctly what the problem is.

When I talk to a friend and I'm unsure about something I'm about to say, I try to express my epistemic deficiency (e.g. "if I remember correctly ..."). But when I'm giving a presentation to even 5 people I'll make sure to do a quick google search to confirm if I remember correctly. If I was writing an article that I know will be read by thousands, you bet I would do a lot more.
Love it! This is super similar but we allow many different layers of conversions. So anytime we bridge systems you can connect the user.
This is critical with the many browsers, devices and so on.
In e-commerce we see that emails have such high conversion rates but they are often opened on the phone then the user buys on the browser without clicking. These situations are captured by doing the many layers of identity resolutions
Turn off location services isn’t enough. You would also need to never invite anyone over or call a freaking plumber etc.

That’s the problem it isn’t something most people are aware of let alone have much of a choice about. This is Google deciding it’s probably not illegal to spy on people in their own homes.

Sure, their probably not actually listening to conversation, but consider if they where would you consider they where spying if this was the level of consent given?
I don't like really solutions which force everything into a single schema just to do migrations. They shouldn't be that difficult.

In this particular case, rather than making everything a view all the time, you could just use views during a migration window to get the same effect. Replace the table with a view which has all the columns plus the new name as an alias for the old one, migrate all the clients, replace the view with the table with the column renamed. No special permanent crap necessary.
Polygraphs are bogus pseudoscience.
You can divest, and do what with the money? Real estate is the best I’ve come up with, but even real estate prices are bananas.
Well that and because having 20,000 packages in your project is a PITA in various ways.

Mostly but not entirely because NPM handled things poorly in various ways.
IANAL as well, but your first line is definitely not true. A writ of mandamus is one of many such ways a court can compel behavior, though typically a tool of last resort.

Courts order individuals, businesses and officials to take actions as a matter of course: to stand trial, to comply with subpoenas, to adhere to a contract, to make restitution, and so on.

I am not deeply familiar with lawful intercept law and case law around national security letters (what little there is), but I would not gamble anything of value on the principle that courts cannot compel someone to take actions.
I also grew up in a midsized Midwestern city, and had the same (wonderful) childhood experience. Biked to school, parks and playgrounds, the YMCA, local diner, you name it. This was in the 1990s and early 2000s, so I doubt much has changed.
Make it 25 minutes instead. Now there's a break of time in-between allowing your brain to properly context switch so your night's sleep isn’t messed up.
It is possible within the limits of available memory on the computer. Rather than the usual limit of a fixed number of bits.

I've ironically found that big integer libraries sometimes optimize math routines more than string conversion. This was quite annoying for me when I optimized the factorial function in Ruby, and found that generating the string was my bottleneck. I then optimized that as well. :-)
This seems like much too large a problem to tackle with emoji.

Even as complex as emoji are becoming, they really still don't address the issues behind online miscommunication. And I really doubt they ever could.
Yeah. Michael Henderson on bass. He was only 19-20 at the time of that record. One aspect I love about Miles is his eye for talent, and his openness to switching it up and bringing in new players of diverse background.

I forget who, but one of the 'Dark Magus' era players is on record describing how Miles would just throw in some wildcard players to keep everyone fresh and on their toes. I believe 'Dark Magus' itself features two players who had not played with Miles prior that gig and didn't know each other. Imagine that! Your first time (ever) playing with Miles is on stage at Carnegie Hall with a band who's never played with you. Talk about trial by fire.
I don't even apologize for being late anymore.

This comment [1] should probably also be mentioned here:

The productivity claim has been removed from the Japanese report[0]. An erratum at the bottom of the page dated November 8, 2019 says this:
"In the announcement dated October 31, one of the listed "improvements" from the 2019 Summer Work-Life Choice Challenge was an increase of 39.9% in labor productivity (sales revenue per employee) in August 2019 compared to August 2018, with a graph below.

"While this number is factual, it is not solely the result of this challenge, and was achieved due to a number of different factors.

"To avoid misunderstanding, we have removed that claim from the above summary of the direct effects of the challenge."

Especially the definition of productivity as "labor productivity (sales revenue per employee)" is interesting and adds some perspective to this claim.
