The update is telling:

> Update 3/17/2021: Our original article stated "Costa Rica Has Run on 100% Renewable Energy for 299 Days." It was pointed out to us that while Costa Rica's electric grid does run primarily on renewable energy, a better title would have been "Costa Rica Has Run on 100% Renewable Electricity". Below the article says that the government had not burned any oil to power the country, but this would technically imply that the government does not own gasoline powered vehicles, which couldn't be true.

Accounting for the origins of energy is tricky business. Want to squeeze out internal combustion engines? Go electric. Where do the batteries come from, and how much non-renewable energy does it cost to produce them? For that matter, how many goods are important with non-neglibile carbon footprints? Because carbon emissions can be exported.

> In other words, a country can be considered carbon neutral while still using fossil fuels by planting trees that offset the carbon, or funding conservation programs which aim to reduce the amount of carbon in the air.

How long do those trees you're planting keep CO2 out of the atmosphere? When they die, a good chunk of that carbon may be released.
> My point is that height clearly matters more.

Sorry, in what way is that clear? The best players aren't the tallest, so isn't it clear that your statement is false?

The attribute that defines success is skill, not height, which is evidenced by a look at the most successful NBA players.

You're saying "Because NBA players are taller than average, tall = success", which is just not really true.
I've noticed since Microsoft acquired Github, the "explore" tab has been more and more useless.

It's been months since it displays me the same repositories, and significantly less than before.

I don't know if it's related, but the timing is suspicious.
It would be even more awesome, if it were directly connected to the German train system, but on the German side, the connection is severely lacking and might not be there for many years. The state of the German railway system is pretty scandalous. The connection to the Swiss is also overloaded.

I don't think the article says that requiring code reviews is never good process. Consider this last paragraph:

> It's up to you and your colleagues to set the rules for your team. Don't adopt best practices in a dogmatic fashion. Rather, ask yourself if the circumstances of others apply to you. There is a high chance that they won't, and you find a more suited way to do things.

As OP scales his org he may find that the trust based approach no longer works and mandatory code reviews become the better approach. At that point it would make sense to introduce them.
As individualistic social creatures, the brains of human beings have evolved to understand characters. That's why we anthropomorphisize everything. Technological progress is no exception: Every revolution as well as incremental step must have a person assigned to it. If none exists, we create the idea of one (e.g. God).

I'm not American and free speech isn't an area I'm clued up on, but following on from that judge's words.. are there situations where more privileged/famous people have less freedom of speech (in a quasi-legal sense, rather than a 'social consequences' one) than others in the US?
It's a perfectly fine material for many purposes. For most plumbing and scientific uses there is nothing wrong with it.
TLDR: an 8-1 decision (Thomas dissenting), written by Breyer. The Court specifically says that schools can punish students for off-campus behavior, just not in this case. The Court mentions that this student's speech was not likely to cause a "substantial disruption" (a term of art from prior cases).

The next step will be for lower courts to come up with decisions consistent with this case, and in so doing hopefully come up with some workable standards that SCOTUS will eventually adopt/clarify.
Well, people living in close proximity exchange gut bacteria. A more robust gut is a boost to general health (e.g., immune system). You also get good bacteria from pets (e.g., dogs).

On the other hand, when you live alone your gut doesn't get these benefits. So while it looks like there's an emotional-based downfall to living alone, it might also be the lack of gut diversity that cuts into your health and longevity.
The amount of local funding for public education varies wildly from state to state. In New Mexico in 2018, only 15% of public school revenue came from local sources. However, during the same year in Nebraska, that number is 53%.

So yes, in some states differences in local property tax has a minimal effect on school funding. But in other states, the issue is still a significant issue.

Keep in mind that the demand for access to iOS users can be met through more traditional means such as the world-wide web.

Apple has much less of a right to make demands of others there than it does on the hardware and software platform that they built, themselves.

Similarly, since you are attempting to speak on my behalf, as an Apple consumer, I feel the need to correct you: I do not want Facebook to build an iOS app. They can keep that crap to themselves.
You're both looking at the same problem but one is describing the horse and one is describing the cart, we're not sure which goes first but only one of us has any agency to tip the scales and that's employers. Employees will do whatever is best for them, but an employer can attempt to make sure what's best for them is to stay at their company.

|warehouse employers| <<<<<< |warehouse employees|

This is not how labor market monopsony is usually defined, but I say that's simply a sign of us setting the bar too low. Fixing this would require at least one

- employers with N employees to take on employees with average N jobs

- big unions for big corps

- Everything becomes co-ops

- Full socialism

You tell me what sounds the most practical.
So the argument that it should be all about the bottom line in the US is that in the US it's always all been about the bottom line. Circular argument is circular.
That's likely the GANSpace/SeFa part of the manipulation.

> In a further test we created two example cinemagraphs that mimic small-scale head movement and
facial animation in FFHQ. The geometric head motion was generated as a random latent space
walk along hand-picked directions from GANSpace [24] and SeFa [50]. The changes in expression
were realized by applying the “global directions” method of StyleCLIP [45], using the prompts
“angry face”, “laughing face”, “kissing face”, “sad face”, “singing face”, and “surprised face”. The
differences between StyleGAN2 and Alias-Free GAN are again very prominent, with the former
displaying jarring sticking of facial hair and skin texture, even under subtle movements
Oh, sure, but I did point that out. I'm suspicious of React but open enough to realise the cause could be any number of other things.
Yeah, no.

Even with a team of experienced engineers we find bugs and mistakes in PRs daily.

Having reviews encourages knowledge of the entire system and why things work the way they do, or, why something was designed a certain way.

For a two person write and sell beta level code as fast as possible startup maybe this approach is fine, but mostly it is not.

Go slow and make things work/last.
"Nobody is harmed by pay gap"

Yeah, somebody is harmed. First, it's unfair. Second, you are competing for the same resources (house and etc.). Now you are at disadvantage.
I wonder how tense things are over at Atlassian right now. Jira seems so universally hated that it feels like any competition that ticks a few basic needs could start hurting them.
Code review also does not mean perfect; in fact noone here has said anything about perfection.
> Although technically correct, that's a bit misleading IMO.

I Agree. My issue is that the other consoles also have a pipelined CPU and I'm trying not to copy-paste the same long explanation from other articles every time. So I included a link next to the PS1's pipeline description. I will try to reword it though. Thanks!
Bill Gates doesn't control shit. He attempted influence some education stuff, it failed and it backfired hard and because he didn't actually have control he could also not undo his influence. What sort of policy do you feel he has control over?

He doesn't have enough money to actually control anything. He couldn't even get people in Afghanistan to vaccinate when that was his sole goal for a decade, just because some local warlords were working against him.

You have a misguided idea about how much control he can actually exert with the couple billion he spends on this stuff. Do you know how little money it actually is in the grand scheme of things? He can barely move the needle on the topics he finds important.

A single power plant costs upwards of 10 billion dollars, and that will power maybe 1 large city. You know who really has the money to influence those? Corporations, you know, the things that actually have no soul, and that have no motivation other than greed arguably dictated by law? They'll counter Gates' billions with trillions. All the billionaires in the US couldn't stop a Putin or a Salman from doing anything they want.

That's what an oligarchy is. I'm not arguing for oligarchy, I'm not even arguing Gates should even have that much money to spend. But to say he's being nefarious with it, or that he's spending it in a bad way is just ridiculous.

And who the fuck fanboys over Gates. Literally no one, he's as unlikable as fuck, he fucked up Windows in the 90's he fucked up my job as a webdeveloper in the 2000s. I think he should spend his money on fighting climate change, but he's spending it on sick and hungry children. He probably saved my life by funding vaccine research, but I still don't really appreciate him.

But yeah, complain about fan boy culture and the distinction about geeks and nerds, as if those are not just things you just made up. All this propaganda I'm watching.. you know the movies that really indoctrinate me where I'm watching actual Bill Gates saying things about the things he actually did that you can actually measure and verify that had actual and measurable positive impact in the world. Yeah those things really got to me, I'm so indoctrinated right now.
Update to some Google Drive file links, admin decision recommended before July23
Interestingly, the Court didn't create the sharp division that you mention — unlike the Third Circuit, which apparently drew more of a bright line. The Court left open the possibility that schools can regulate off-campus speech in other cases, including "severe bullying", threats to staff, or computer hacking. It will be interesting to see how this language is interpreted by lower courts, and whether it ends up being a broad exception or a narrow one.
Look, I don't understand why you are arguing in this way. This is not a rebuttal to my point.

Whatever else is going on in Sweden, prostitution exists there as well and criminalizing it is not stamping it out and is not a means to address the concern some people have that "Women who become prostitutes without being trafficked do so because they are desperately poor, so they still aren't truly there voluntarily."

I'm not saying that "Good paying jobs will stamp out prostitution." I have no goal of stamping out prostitution.

I'm saying that criminalizing prostitution gives desperately poor women no remedy for the poverty that forces some of them into prostitution. It just closes another door and makes their life harder, not better.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech
> Freedom of speech[2] is a fundamental human right that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction.

The list of things at the forefront of you mind would fall under the above. You might get your teeth kicked in but by the actual freedom of speech definition rather than your own truths interpretation there would be no legal response.

It's true however that we don't actually subscribe to that definition any more, so you never know. Maybe you'll have your wish.

> I don't think limiting swipes will fix it - the issue is more on the selection side (who women choose to swipe) than on the seeking side.

Right, but I think women are extra choosy on the apps (going only for that top X percent of men) because they can be, because literally every swipe is a match, because men just fire off the right swipes by the hundreds. Just thinking about this logically, if every girl I swiped on Tinder was a match for me, I'd probably be more choosy too.

If men didn't have as many swipes, women wouldn't have such an extreme amount of matches. Maybe they'd widen their net and invest more time with the smaller number of matches they do get.

Again, hypothetical. Maybe not.

> Even if you had an app where men make profiles and don't swipe at all, one where women just select people and then men get notified - you still end up with only the top 2% of men getting selected and women would have to notify someone they're interested who may not have mutual interest or message them back (a rejection of the type mutual swipe matches are supposed to avoid).

Where do you get the 2% number? Just curious.

> I think at least some women like having hundreds of matches because it's a nice self-confidence ego boost (I think complaining about this is 'high-status' humble bragging). If you took that away I suspect they'd also use the service less.

So the cynical part of me does kind of agree with this. I do think there's some percentage of women who aren't even on the apps for meeting people. In that sense, the overwhelming number of matches is an ego-boosting feature, not a bug they would like to see fixed. I'd like to think this is a small percentage, but I'd be curious to see data on this.

> It’s extremely hard to justify investing in junior engineers when the trend in our industry is to jump between jobs every 1-3 years.

Employees job hop to get raises and title changes. If employers were more willing to invest in anyone, not just Juniors, this wouldn't be as much a problem.

Some people do want to job hop a lot, but many don't. This industry is actively hostile to the people who might otherwise be loyal to their employer, because it does not reward loyalty at all.
Came here to call out the same selection of examples as really weird for the purpose of making that point.

Newton and Darwin for the reasons you cite—and if two arrived at the same breakthrough at almost the same time, does one dare imagine that a dozen or more others weren't damn close, despite the fraction of a percent of the global population had, or has, the upbringing, inclination, and freedom to even approach the problem in the first place? Hell, does one even dare imagine that a thousand nobodies hadn't had the insight that would have led them straight to that breakthrough much sooner if only they'd had the background and environment to recognize it as significant, follow through to prove it, and gain publicity for their discovery? Surely not.

Aristotle, well, shit, everyone whose independent work survives from antiquity looks like a lone genius, but that's obviously, in part, because so little survives and because attribution is so sketchy. With Aristotle in particular it's not even clear how much was his work is his, directly, and how much was the work of his "school", developed over years or decades by many people, if we're talking about particular insights or inventions, and not sheer overall-importance of a person.

I know less about the environment around Einstein's breakthroughs but given the rest I'd be surprised if the author actually managed to pick a good example, for his purposes.

What if legalizing prostitution has the secondary effect of greatly increasing the amount human trafficking, which the previous poster seems to be suggesting is the case in Germany? Wouldn’t making prostitution legal be the opposite of working on human trafficking then?
You want process that is appropriate for your situation. I've worked in environments where code reviews and even tests did not make sense, primarily ones where development speed matters above everything else and the risk of something broken is low.

In most environments, however, code reviews are worth it for the mentorship alone.
Which in turn implies a "developers are equally valuable to all companies".

There are companies where the value of a programmer isn't the same as the value of a programmer in another company.

> Odd that there are so many EU countries at the list of most happy countries when EU is not good at anything

Putting words in my mouth. I never said the EU is not good at 'anything'. But it's not as good as America in terms of financing, innovation, or education.

One does not need great capital access, top-notch technology, or even the best education to be happy. You sad that european safety nets lead to the ability to 'take chances'. Typically, the result of this would be more innovation, which leads to more capital, which leads to better financing, which incentivizes education so that those with education can convince investors to invest in new innovation. However, the result you claim does not exist in Europe at the same level it exists in America.
