Again? Didn't the Romans build aqueduct there 2000 years ago?
I feel like extreme weather is right up there with super moons and other astronomical events when it comes to generating headlines, so I did a time constrained Google search for "heat dome" and here's what turned up:

2020-07-10 - "How a ‘Heat Dome’ Forms—and Why This One Is So Perilous (A massive, intense heat wave is settling over the continental US. The ravages of the Covid pandemic are going to make it all the more deadly.)"

https://www.wired.com/story/how-a-heat-dome-forms/

2019-07-29 - "What exactly are heat domes and why are they so long-lasting and miserable? (Since late June, bouts of extreme heat have scorched both the United States and Europe. To blame are large, stagnant zones of high pressure known as heat domes.)"

https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2019/07/29/what-exact...

2018-07-29 - "Scorching, long-duration heat wave to roast much of U.S."

https://www.axios.com/scorching-heat-wave-hits-us-millions-a...

2017-07-22 - "Meteorologists keep mentioning the 'heat dome' - What is it?"

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/What-s-a-heat-dome-11240...

2016-07-22 - "'Heat Dome' Causing Excessive Temperatures In Much Of U.S."

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/07/22/487031278...

I don't mean to make light of important meteorological events, especially as they relate to climate change, but can anybody with better knowledge tell me if this is a significant incident, or just another "super blood worm moon to appear larger than it has since 1944"?
With more folks building using low code and no-code tools many different types of users will need to know how to do QA
We are almost close to support GCP with the new core business logic of the Leapp Daemon:

https://github.com/Noovolari/leapp-daemon

in the next releases we will move the business logic from electron to here.

The Electron App and a CLI will communicate with the Leapp Daemon.

Btw, the daemon is close to manage GCP and Alibaba Cloud Sessions!
When I was a PM, I was lucky to have a big, talented QA team, but I still knew I'd have to do a "smoke test" myself after every major feature release. I cared the most, and I knew the most about the intricacies of the product.

I agree with you but as it stands the dominant ideology of the USA-led "international rule-based order" is Liberalism (i.e. the individual is the authority). Until there is an ideological revolution in the West, this is "just how it is".

Every scientifically-correct, readily-implementable strategy to address this crisis will be killed at some point for infringing on sacred "individual liberties". Look at Biden currently doing huge damage to the international solar industry as a byproduct of Washington's floundering ideological crusade against "authoritarianism" [1].

So I’m not interested. You wanted the world to burn. So let it burn.
> humans are capable of abstract understanding and have a breadth of other knowledge to draw from

this may be a matter of time and thus is not a fundamental objection.

If mankind should fail to answer the perennial question of exploitation of the other and the same, it will be doomed. And rightly so, for mankind must answer this question, it must answer to this question. Instead what we do is increase monetary output then go and brag about efficiency. Neither is this efficient, nor is it about efficiency, nor has the Universe ever cared about efficiency. It just happens to coincide with what Society has decided to be its most looked-upon elements have chosen to be their religion.

It is not my religion to be sure.
Definitely. Can’t disagree with that. But at some point we will be on a lookout, if we are still here...

>Do you have any evidence that orders can be cancelled in settlement

It's not that they'll show up and say "on second thought I don't want that stock anymore, please cancel my order". It's that they'll go bankrupt in the meantime. This was already mentioned in the original comment.

>The reason might be that I’m bankrupt
Most desalination methods are unfortunately quite energy intensive, and produce a concentrated brine that has environmental/disposal concerns such that it can't just be pumped back into the ocean, really.

It presents a difficult problem for entrepreneurs to tackle. Definitely the potential to change people's lives for the better, though.
They finally remembered - hey, why are we charging for this?
It's more like.... People claim military has weapons, it's just an 'assumed', no shit...and Propublica snaps photos proving it...and maybe documenting more in-depth how much...like how many aircraft carriers... it was a "helpful" article, but definitely not earth shattering as a revelation.
I have a similar issue; I have a $10 self published book on Amazon and somebody re-listed with an earlier (like 1900!) publication date, so it shows up first when looking for it and it's listed at like $100.

I don't know who can fall for this in my case but I'm sure if they can they have probably done this at scale. When I search in Amazon I see a lot of results with wide range of prices so I'm sure some people are just counting on showing up on results, users being "lazy" and arbitraging the difference between their listing and the cheapest vendor.
Could you elaborate on what scenarios it would get messed up in? I expect it would happen if you're working across multiple brokerages, but is there any other scenario? It'd be helpful for us to know and watch out for it.
As Jean Chretien (past Canada prime minister) once said : I can walk and chew gum at the same time. Really, I don't think doing one affects the other.
Yep, that's what I've done and why I think I'm barely out of range. It's a bit tedious with wall clocks.

They made whole foods a bad experience by treating non-prime members as second class customers.

To be honest, there's not much difference between Prime and non-Prime at Whole Foods. The Prime specials are very few and far between, and usually not worth very much. There are more signs about discounts in the store than actual discounts in the store.

I think the only thing I ever get a Prime discount on is my wife's favorite cheese and occasionally steak. But pre-Amazon, the cheese was $4.99 a package. Post-Amazon, I need a Prime discount to get it down to $6.99 a package.
Yes, correct, but that implies that anyone who has racist thoughts but doesn't do anything with them is not a racist.

That’s only if the CPA is in that position. My mom has worked at places where they had a CPA on staff, but they were only doing here for consulting. They never reviewed or signed anything.
> The Catholic heirarchy will be happy to tell you that consistently.

To correct myself, actually, relevant to the instant article, no, even they won't. Because choosing neither heterosexual love nor family in the usual sense (or, for that matter, even the sense that religious communities are a kind of family, as both lay committed celibacy and eremetic life, both private and consecrated, are recognized vocations) is very much an option, even to the heirarchy.

They hierarchy is fairly certain to say romantic love and family are a moral option only within a committed, exclusive, heterosexual context, though.
Was it ever not a rarity?
> Of course I am. We are both participating in a speculative discussion of how copyright law should handle ML code synthesis. I think this is really clear from the context, and it seems obvious to me that this product will not be able to move beyond the technical preview stage if it continues to make a habit of copying distinctive code and comments verbatim, so that scenario isn't really interesting to me. Github seems to agree (from the page on recitation that you linked):

No. We both aren't. I am discussing how copilot operates from the perspective of a user concerned about legal ramifications. I backed that concern up with specific factual quotes and animated images from github, where github unequivocally demonstrated how copilot copies code. You are speculating how copyright law should handle ML code synthesis.
This is not the only time signal emitted from a terrestrial tower. For example France uses a similar signal for their legal time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TDF_time_signal , and as mentioned in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock there are many others. Have also a look at LORAN-C / eLoran, which recent releases enable a receiver accuracy close to GNSS as far as I understand while there is no way to properly compensate for various propagation effects in DCF77 and alikes (i.e. you'll get millisecond-ish accuracy, but not microsecond even though the original source clock is very stable. Microsecond accuracy may seem overkill but this is actually required in several industrial applications e.g. 4G/5G TDD base stations are often connected to GNSS in order to be phase/time-synchronised).

Last but not least : I should mention that this researcher J.M. Friedt has an amazing amount of wonderful material about clocks, oscillators, SDR and so on... http://jmfriedt.free.fr
And more specifically on DCF77, I could find http://jmfriedt.free.fr/dcf77.pdf and http://jmfriedt.free.fr/dcf77.mp4 (among other things)
Investment interest accrual should be considered "income" at the end of the year. If I earned 20 and invested in stocks, I'm still taxed on the 20... if that 20 was earned from interest in stocks and re-invested, I'm not taxed on it....

That's where the change needs to happen.
The last place I worked would pull devs randomly to do QA tasks when QA got behind. Of course, since we weren't trained in the QA processes, and didn't do it all the time, it often wound up taking longer to do the testing, plus the devs would get behind in their tasks.
Microsoft exec: Targeting of Americans’ records ‘routine’
If anyone is interested in a book exploring these concepts, Moonwalking with Einstein was written by a journalist originally interested in doing a piece about the world memory championships who wound up becoming the first American to win the world memory championships. The book traces the history of method of loci and the competitions, the potential practical utility (or lack thereof) in history and today, and the interesting personal story of how the author went from wondering "huh, could I memorize 20 playing cards in order?" to memorizing multiple decks at an international competition.
Here in British Columbia we had 100+ excess deaths over the past 4 days (COVID excess deaths here are probably zero over the same period.)

Instagram is no longer a photo sharing app
Ah young grasshopper, I went to school in the 70s when the big boogeyman was global _cooling_: a new ice age, vast sheets of ice sweeping across the American continent, mammoths roaming the frigid wastes, Time Magazine covers and so on. Turns out, they were correct: the earth has been gently cooling down since the 1930s, a period so hot in this country that my grandparents were forced to move west because of the heat. So I know climate scientists are full of shit today. Carbon dioxide does not cause global warming. It's the other way around: warmer weather causes more carbon dioxide outgassing by the oceans. Colder water holds CO2 better as anyone who's had a warm beer knows all too well. Which is awesome since carbon is the building block of all life.
“The official Catholic stance - essentially "teaching" people are no different from cattle, sexuality-wise - seems to be enforced very heavily there.”

Maybe you're right, maybe war is the answer to less CO2: https://www.co2levels.org/

However, it is interesting that people find "solutions", before they've even described and analysed the entire problem set.
> she "received some terrible comments and unsolicited DMs over it, but so, so much more support."

That is so encouraging to hear. I am so proud of that community, and of the original poster for her courage.

My hope, or dream or fantasy, is that I perceive behavior changing on the Internet. Perhaps society is learning the social rules needed for online forums, just like we all know the rules for restaurants, parks, movie theaters, public lectures, beaches, etc. Our parents told us those rules; they couldn't tell us the rules for the Internet for obvious reasons. What do you tell your kids?
We may be approaching this with different levels of expertise.

No, Viridis is not strictly better. You are assuming a particular (simple) tasks, i.e., what is the question about the data that you want the visualization to help answer.

Here is a task for which Viridis is not strictly better: show me (1) all places in the data where there the gradient magnitude exceeds some small threshold, while also permitting (2) some appreciation of the over-all form of things.

What these requirements ask of the colormap, considered as a path through perceptual colorspace, respectively: (1) always have a high velocity, and be as long a path as possible, while (2) not overlapping on itself in an ambiguous way.

The "rainbow" colormap is better at (1) than Viridis because it is simply a longer path through colorspace. It gets that extra length in part by not caring about being monotonic in luminance. If (2) was the only thing that mattered, Viridis might be better, but for lots of technical settings, the over-all form of things are already known, and it is the small fluctuations that are interesting to show, so "rainbow" can be better.

Now, you could take things to an extreme and say, okay, if (1) is the task, than here's your colormap: a high-frequency sinusoid. Then the visualization is essentially a huge mess of isocontours. Which is terrible for (2). But "rainbow" is more legible than that, and is going to be better than Viridis for some weightings of (1) and (2).

My points are:
- blanket statements like "Viridis is better" are both simplistic and arrogant, because neither you nor I are in a position to know what exactly the task is in a given visualization, and different tasks merit consideration of different colormaps
- the popularity of blanket statements like "Viridis is better" give people who haven't done as much research in data visualization the impression that vis is an adhoc collection of simple strategies, when it is far from that.
I picked up the 10.1 CD at my university bookstore. It was still incredibly slow. I'm pretty sure I was using it on a beige G3 PPC with 256MB of RAM. I thought it was super cool, the new version of NeXT, but I was still doing actual work on a PC running RedHat or Win2000.

Honestly, why bother?

The earth isn't dying, the earth will be fine, it will recover over time, humanity on the other hand needs to be reduced.

If it isn't climate change, an epidemic or something else, then it will be war over resources some time in the future.

On the other hand, climate change will probably lead to war anyway, since resources like water and places to live will decrease from that, so war is probably in the future anyway, since world population continue to rise, especially since the Chinese seem to allow 3 children moving forward.

You could just say enforced. The violence is implicit.

I think an infinite metadata approach also gets you there.

It appears that culture becomes homogenized in a direct relationship with information transfer.

So if we continue on the path of generating metadata for EVERYTHING, we will arrive in a world where we can obtain detailed supply chain information just by virtue of the fact that a thing exists.

Transparent supply chains and homogenized culture seems like a good recipe for internalizing externalities without regulation per say (rather propaganda).
Your employer is not really motivated to provide those things for you. They have a different motivation, which is to get you to work productively on a job they think needs doing.

They may provide some of those either explicitly as an incentive, or as a side-effect of putting a bunch of people in close proximity, and that's great. But when profits are looking iffy, I don't think you can rely on it. It makes more sense to be less dependent on your job, which might go away, and to build those social experiences outside of work so you still have them to fall back on if you change jobs.
what if every interest increase from investments counts at the end of the year as "income" and is taxed at the normal 35% everyone else pays? Whether you let it stay in investments or pull it out? Then we wouldn't need to worry about collecting taxes only when pulling from retirement funds/etc because it's all taxed annually based on increase.
All this does is make me want to go vegan and avoid maintaining the entire k8s farm.

Until very recently, you could actually still buy Snow Leopard from the Apple Store in boxed format until early 2021. Apparently, MacOS versions 10.5 and earlier couldn't upgrade to MacOS Lion or later without updating to Snow Leopard first. Probably had to do with the Mac App Store distribution, and for that reason, Snow Leopard was on sale for a long time.

Some users on Reddit though said that until Apple removed it, there were long shipping times... almost as if some lackey was manually burning discs and putting stickers on them, but who knows?

Anyway, you can still find them on eBay for that reason.

Raising cattle is a lot of work. You have to weigh them regularly, apply treatments for intestinal worms, for lice, move them from pasture to pasture so they don't overgraze. It's a fulltime job.

Also if a cow dies, people don't just buy a new one. It represents quite a loss of profit. Also represents a big potential problem on the farm that people will want to resolve - they're you're money makers, if they're dying it's an issue.

I've been based in Japan for past 30 years, and this is a huge area of research and active product development.

On my podcast, I've talked with many of the CEOs making social robots and companion robots here, and there is a real benefit to forming emotional bonds with machines in this way.

Western culture has an intrinsic mistrust of robots that does not really exist in Asia - or at least in Japan. However, even when the elderly are the target audience, the gold standard for acceptance is the reaction of children.

Young children (from any culture) will give you the most honest assessment of whether a given robot is being viewed as a toy or a pet.

It's a fascinating area of research.

For people complaining about Musk lies.

They will only end when every other CEO in America starts behaving like him. People have to understands that other guys, they aren't stupid or squares....they are all capable of doing what Musk does, in fact you'll struggle to find someone who is a worse public speaker than Musk . They just can't because Musk already sucked out all the dollars of those who are attracted by this sort of behavior, so it's a losing propositions

Custodians of 125 years old institutions such as Ford or GM or Daimler, they simply can afford to enter a tug of war game against Musk for the graces of the retail investors.

Retail investors are unique, rather they are very similar to your average person who has their cycles of emotions and on-again , off-again type relationship with basically everything and everyone
And here I thought that once you include boards and shareholders, you get something isomorphic to democracy :).

If we're considering corporations to be "undemocratic, authoritarian, central-planning (...) communist dictatorships" inside, then so are all democratic governments. The "voice of the people" part of a democratic government is just a surface layer, the tip of an iceberg. Or, more charitably, a rudder of a ship - the part that sets the course, but is nevertheless insignificant in mass compared to the rest of the ship.

The bulk of every government is a top-down hierarchical structure, because it can't really be any other way. You can't hold votes on whether a particular clerk is supposed to be in a particular building on Monday 09:00, and whether they're supposed to approve the form you're trying to submit.
