Yeah the stability thing is huge. Businesses and workers are at complete odds on this, because workers want to have a steady income and stop worrying about it, while businesses want the ability to adjust their labor costs on the fly. Workers have caught onto the game now, though, and are taking the same mercenary approach that businesses do. What I think we're living through is the natural end result of that process: incredible short-termism, catastrophic loss of institutional knowledge, social instability due to a pervasive sense of insecurity and worthlessness/lack of social bonds. This is what happens when your economic theories abstract away everything about human beings except their desire to maximize utils.

This happened in Australia. It was very difficult to find a house cleaner last year, and it's still a challenge now. Quotes were $40-50/hour or more. If you worked for yourself as a contractor (most cleaners), you only needed to demonstrate that your income had dropped some percentage from the equivalent period 12 months ago, and you could claim $600/w. Scrub toilets every day, or get $600/w to sit at home...

Or get paid cash and still claim the $600.

On the other hand, a very simple/easy system meant that the process wasn't overly onerous at a time where other contractors were legitimately missing a lot of business due to pandemic restrictions.
But aren't the scare quotes necessary to the statement? Ie. it can appear that a "trigger" is actuated, because we do not know what is happening and reach for metaphor?

What users really care about is that the API, docs and samples all match. (An example where that was not the case was the Rackspace cloud API, which made it unusable for most programmers unless they were very committed.)

Dan Fielding would say "all APIs need to be HATEOAS" and you should "discover" and "page" everything, but few users really want to write a 1,000 line client program to search or update a couple objects.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS

Specifically about petstore, yeah, a good example API should be mostly consistent. I recommend designing your API in Excel, doing a few iterations, then writing a prototype with around 10 endpoints to see if it's usable.

It's a rite of passage with REST API design that you're confused. :)
It actually would put us in a similar category to Thinkpads from the 2000's and early 2010's, but with modern hardware, a thin and light form factor, an upgradeable mainboard, and customizable ports with Expansion Cards!
Ah interesting. I’ve been wondering if the victims could have at the time expected any extra compensation, early retirement or monetary for being injured on the job. Does the State Department or CIA make that public?

I can believe some were injured by one of the methods discussed. But I can also believe many noticed they could also claim to have been affected too.

Thinking about the strategy you outlined: wouldn't a real stalker, by definition, put in the extra effort to seek you out on all the various platforms, whereas a normal user wouldn't?

You're effectively decreasing the chances of your users finding more of your content, without actually mitigating stalking activity, which sounds like a net loss for you.
It's important to understand that the price of one thing does not inflation make.

Yes, lumber has shot up, but that is a function of supply and demand, not inflation. Demand went through the roof, supply was constrained, prices rose, and are now falling, although there is still backlog and so prices remain high.

Supply and demand pricing is not inflation, it is the Free Market in action in all of its glory.

Yes, for a high enough salary, someone will do the job. But it makes a huge difference whether a third party is artificially disincentivizing one of the parties to the extent that a good deal before the artificial disincentive is now woefully insufficient.

To ignore that effect and just focus on the negotiation dynamics is to miss the bigger picture (and unforced error).
Interesting that you say that.

I have noticed great programming ability on Cannabis in the evenings... that's how I raised myself in a nutshell.

I think the productivity is directly related to the sheer lack of stimulation the night-time environment affords you. No light, no sounds, nobody awake, nothing else to do. You can code or sleep, that's it.

I used to stay up all night, getting very high, and programming very well... but society wouldn't stand for it.

Sometimes when I do smoke my joint to go to sleep, I get crazy good ideas and motivation and code great for a few hours.

But then I am forced to wake up at "a decent hour" (society) and the next day is pure shambles/no-work.

I'm not saying this to be funny, I fully intend this to be taken seriously, the solution is to follow the principle of justice.

The "needy" have no claim on the output of the productive. There is no free lunch, there is no claim to the unearned. The solution is to get rid of welfare entirely, on principle. Anything less leads to this mess eventually.
This is unrealistic! You would often have to wait minutes for the numbers to 'go around' once you typed a new number in ;)

Might be broadened by the overlap of symptoms. Schizophrenia in particular is a broad classification of different kinds of similarly presenting thought disorders. A person exhibiting textbook symptoms but with the cause more directly attributable to use and social disruptions might have a vastly different prognosis and course of treatment than a more genetic or organic case.

In this case it's RNA not DNA.

Demethylating DNA is like uncommenting a line of code; demethylating RNA is like uncommenting compiled/assembly rather than the source.
Somewhat rhetorically - what value was the owner providing if he wasn’t getting up on the roofs?
CSX 8888 Runaway Investigation (2001)
I can't explain the paper, but if DNA is genetic ROM, methylation is like one bit of RAM available on each digit [*].

Most of the cellular machinery tries pretty damn hard to make exact copies of DNA. The methylation bits, by contrast, get deliberately flipped on and off all the time.

[*] Technically only A and C can accept methylation, but in a double helix you'll always have either an A or a C on one side or the other at every position (A pairs with T, C pairs with G).
That is neat, but we should also look at the amount of fertilizer this change will cause. We are already running soil at the redline and we have more trouble getting the fertilizer into the soil in a healthy way. If this ends up killing the soil 5 years faster through overutilization, it really isn't an improvement as it takes a ton of effort and time to revitalize soil.

Exactly. Apple even have third-party batteries in their supply chain (installed by an AASP), the printing of the warnings on the cells and the PCB date code look very suspiciously shanzhai. Yet Apple Support were able to confirm that the order number is real and the part came from them. They charged me $600 for it too. It'd better be reliable, unlike the $100 third-party one that idles at 12V, and a voltage spike when waking from sleep killed my logic board.
yeaaah... no.
I've seen that argument, and I'm sure it has some truth to it and may have been the main problem in some areas. However, where I live stores ran out of toilet paper (and hand sanitizer, and water, and diapers) a couple weeks before things started shutting down.

I don't see how the commercial vs consumer grade toilet paper explains that.

There could still be Lewy bodies (dementia) for all I know.
Of course.

But lots of things are going up in price [1]. Lumber makes the best anecdote because it's a tangible commodity that everybody has bought at some point (and many buy semi-regularly), and it can't be blamed on semiconductor shortages. Not even with Deere's silly LTE-enabled feller-bunchers.

Also, unlike so many other industries, it makes no sense for forestland owners to take a hit to their profits in order to not "lose customers". Firstly, it's a commodity. But more importantly, they need to use those dollars they earn at the sawmill today to plant, manage, and maintain roads (expensive!) to a crop that won't come to market for another fifty years. This is especially true when they decide (always with trepidation) to accelerate the cycling of a few years' worth of land, as Rayonier has just done during the past month. Accelerating X years of harvest means making a bet that you know what the next X years of inflation look like. The futures markets' liquidity depth is nowhere near sufficient to hedge the amount of harvest acceleration that homebuilders are clamoring for.

That's why they are a canary in the coalmine for sudden and non-transient inflation.

I'm sure Janet Yellen will downvote this comment.

Major thumbs-up for AMD chip. With a replaceable main board, this will be a dream. I ordered a framework laptop at its highest CPU+RAM spec and can't wait to replace my 6 years old ThinkPad x250 with it.

EDIT: would also add that the open source design USB-C based side modules are amazing - looking forward to designing my own modules.
Dunno about the employee side, but the big Canadian railroads became quite hated by their customers when they moved to "precision scheduled railroading". Basically, running trains on a scheduled and your load better be ready when the train is going. So more like a scheduled transit service than a "we'll wait for you and set up runs for you".

I guess that improves margins, but I also wonder how much work/profit they throw away by becoming more hostile to their customers.

It's worked out well for the shareholders anyway.

The Incas, many Himalayan and Hindu Kush peoples built similar irrigation systems.
Spreadsheets are like the ubiquity of motorcycles in 3rd world countries. Jumping on one and blasting off without any safety equipment is cheap, fast, everyone uses them, and they get 80% of the job done. And they will kill you, but that's life.

The thing about spreadsheets is you don't have to commission bespoke software. And just the value of that swamps everything else in the vast majority of cases.

In small businesses I doubt the success rate is anywhere near 50% if a non-technical person recognizes a business need for a software solution, hires someone to build it for them, and then it actually reaches a useful conclusion. But if you are numerate at all you can drive a spreadsheet. Not having to swim with the sharks for months or years while you hemorrhage cash is hard to appreciate for the sharks (us, the people who build technical things). Most small businesses and many large ones don't have anyone who can manage even contracting something like this out.

If things have gone on long enough that the problem is stable, clearly defined, and the costs of 3rd order effects like lack of revision control are losing enough money to justify the risk of a custom software project, sure, it needs to be done. But for many companies that risk will always be bigger than the ones that come with spreadsheets.

ERP systems are supposedly finished software that you deploy and tweak for particular business needs. The success rate on deploying those is waaaay below 100%, and the expenses are huge. If your company or department is non-technical the time for custom business software is usually when your hair is on fire and it's the only option.

Fully agreed, for me, with any size of laptop the presence of an integrated numpad is a real nuisance due to how it awkward it makes typing and trackpad usage.

That said, there are times when numpads are useful. That’s why on my desktop, I have a discrete numpad sitting to the left of my keyboard, which allows the most used keys to remain centered.

It would be neat if someone made a numpad module for these laptops that can plug into either side of the laptop, and then be tucked away when not in use. The little rails in the module bays should make typing on the numpad almost as solid as typing on the main keyboard.

Or decrease demand. One weird thing about railroading is that it's always US crews on US rail lines. If you cross Mexico or Canada, the crew switches to that nationality at or within a few miles of the border. Even delivering to the closest depot is contentious. I don't think there are crews that can cover multiple territories.

Trucking doesn't work like this at all. A Canadian can drive a load down them self (or as a team of two) from Montreal to Houston, and pick up a return load in Memphis to drop off in Toronto.
I imagine the CEO's renumeration is partly based on profits and share price. If that's correct then there's no incentive to cut profits or do anything to cause the share price to go down, even if temporarily.

I think you grossly overestimate how much money unemployment insurance schemes actually pay out. It's certainly far from anything that creates an "incentive" to avoid work or creating a moral-hazard as you suggest. It's also very time-limited, you can't make claims for more than a few consecutive months at a time (depending on your state).

Unemployment insurance serves a valuable role in giving people (barely enough) means to look for new employment - which can consume a lot of time - without needing to immediately seek new employment outside of their area of expertise and thus damage their chances of getting a new job in a field that suits them, and if a job suits someone then it suits everyone because it means someone is capitalising on their potential.

Wage-slavery is not how any employment system should work.
> We are already running soil at the redline

This is not a scientific statement at all; it's an attempt at an analogy that doesn't work. Farming w/ intensive fertilization doesn't "kill soil"; the soil is basically just a substrate to hold water and fertilizer, and a ton of farmland in the US is basically this. It's not natural, but it's a steady-state.

And if the change here just makes the potato and rice more efficient, you could get similar yield improvements from organic farming. Just rotate a legume in every few years, you're not going to break the ecosystem by growing potatoes faster.
> That is a non-argument.

You're right, but it's still a good idea to maintain a healthy dose of skepticism when something comes out that would benefit a industry/special interest group. There's a lot of activity/attention in the cannabis industry right now and a lot of money at stake. I'd agree that it's not a real argument against any particular study or paper, but it is a pretty good reason to be cautious and pay a little extra attention since there's a long and continuing trend of using research (often very flawed research) in order to promote a product or an industry. It's unfortunate, but until there are adequate protections against those kinds of abuses it's not unreasonable to be a bit pessimistic/skeptical initially.
> There are 12 million people on unemployment, they are unemployed by choice.

wat?
heh, like I said - the military doesn't want them afterwards. Bill Hicks had a bit about the military's esprit de corps, and how nonsensical it seemed to him - an organization tasked with killing people and breaking things so fixated on old fashioned ideas like honor and a sense of duty. Well the US military has a very long institutional memory and rarely does anything without good reason: the morality conditioning is a very effective, functionally useful, program. They can drop 150 18-year-olds into a distant village for months with little to no supervision and it doesn't devolve into a 24/7 machete-rapefest. Look at what happened in East Germany when an army with no such program rolled in... industrial scale inhumanity. Same thing frequently pops up in Africa when one tribe temporarily becomes king of the hill. Anyway, the "clandestine services" are morally bankrupt and the DoD is aware of how dangerous a game it is to play with people they've invested a lot of time on.

This is obviously just a guess... assuming this took place on US soil: it sounds to me like that dude worked for somebody doing something "extra-legal" and it wasn't the USG. Israeli is a pretty big fan of honeytraps and blackmailing intelligence assets. So that is where I'd put my money.

Also: the civilian side of the US intel industry puts almost zero effort into OPSEC. Just search LinkedIn for prior military who list "remote sensing" or whatever the current euphemism is for NSA stingray tender, you'll get a results page full of laughably low effort cutouts.

> You couldn't do a "find XXX | grep YYY | zip" pipeline;

The format was developed in 1989, at which time find(1) and grep(1) and command lines pipes had been around for at least 10 years (more, depending on how you measure it).

It wasn't that you couldn't run pipelines like this, but more that zip's creators didn't care about Unix.

> Software was hand-coded in assembly

I'm not sure what version of software history you've been reading, but I can assure you that I personally was not hand-coding assembly in 1989, even though I was writing device drivers, PostScript RIPs and other stuff at that time.
Completely agree. But to be fair, I think a lot of economists would also agree with you here.
Where is the evidence this is actually happening at a significant scale? Anecdotes are not data.
