Probably not, but it's nothing special - we pick a preset, and switch it around every time we get tired of it.
Sales of anything tend to be tied directly to human action which is more or less seasonal. So it makes sense to compare to a comparable time the year before.

I like millions of parents spent a few hundred dollars on backpacks, shoes, pencils and lunchboxes this week for back to school. Won't be doing that again until next year.

The closest reset (when stores update their prices/products they carry) to November this very crappy wine I sometimes buy, goes from $6 a bottle to $3.89-- presumably to captures sales for holiday get togethers where people are looking for quantity and not quality. It stays at that 3.89 until after New Years.

I don't know what the cycle is for housing-- but I suspect under normal circumstances sales would be highest about an escrow-long time before summer vacation so moving would be least impactful on kids.

The gig economy will not produce good journalism, as good reporters prefer a stable job as much as anyone else. I like a few writers at the NYT, so I pay $5/month to support them. Same with a few other newspapers. The bonus is I also get an absolute mountain of other stuff that I occasionally read and really enjoy (like the cooking column). I don’t see how giving a handful of individuals $5-$10 per month each, Patreon-style, is a good value. And they definitely won’t have as good of a health insurance plan.

Not to mention that journalism isn’t really a solo gig. The processes, standards, and traditions of an institution are just as much of a factor as good reporters in producing good journalism.
All those points could just as well explain how corporations have adapted to an otherwise consistently enforced set of oversight mechanisms and policies.

I don't disagree that the government has stepped back in many ways, but part of the problem (such as it is) is that the enforcement people ostensibly want would require far more dynamism from regulators, which is not something the American system is tuned for, especially at the federal level. Moreover, given the current political factionalism, we're increasingly less likely to see the necessary legislative dynamism. And finally, there's a creeping judicial activism that is beginning to upturn decades of administrative agency law, throwing a wrench into everything but on balance reducing agency flexibility even more. Just look at what happened to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

I think the only practical way forward is to rely on individual states, permitting states like New York and California to extend their roles. But that, too, would require some acquiescence from all three branches of the Federal government to even approach the kinds of changes people seem to expect to see. Contemporary politics similarly disfavors that approach; in some ways even more vehemently--conservatives know that they would lose their obstructive powers, while liberals tend to only accept federal-level policies as legitimate and efficacious. For example, take the Federal Arbitration Act--conservatives would fight repeal tooth & nail, while liberals can't even contemplate the thought, preoccupied as they are with enacting positive regulations federally.

I agree. Definition is the same problem that has plagued other movements: feminism, gay rights, defund the police.

The article cites "Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings That Formed the Movement," which is pro-critical race theory.

To cite Wikipedia:

> While critical race theorists do not all share the same beliefs, the basic tenets of CRT include that racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing and often subtle social and institutional dynamics rather than explicit and intentional prejudices on the part of individuals.

> CRT scholars also view race and white supremacy as an intersectional social construction which serves to uphold the interests of white people at the expense of marginalized communities. In the field of legal studies, CRT emphasizes that merely making laws colorblind on paper may not be enough to make the application of the laws colorblind; ostensibly colorblind laws can be applied in racially discriminatory ways.

> A key CRT concept is intersectionality, which emphasizes that race can intersect with other identities (such as gender and class) to produce complex combinations of power and disadvantage.

What laws? "Hiring internationally" is not a thing, you either hire international one man consulting firms that invoice you, or you open up a subsidiary in their country to hire them as an employee of that subsidiary, in which case the laws of their country applies, not yours
You’ve said it yourself that your favorite behavior of managers is to leave you alone. But what’s their use then? If apart from having autonomy you only have negative experiences with management your idea of them ranges from useless to harmful.

I haven’t seen what they do in the background and am working for not so long but so far managers have not really impressed me.
Reminder that Duolingo’s IPO is very accessible to the public via Robinhood. I am very surprised to see the high valuation for them but it may also be because an uneducated public is trying to get in on something they feel is attractive only because they recognize the name. They may be in for a shock if the stock plummets soon after, especially since there are disincentives for flipping the stock if you bought into the IPO.
Not sure how relevant this is, but the animal characters in the top image are from a Russian children hit cartoon "The Smesharicks" (literally "The Laughballs").
Average time to IPO for tech companies is 7-8 years, so ten years without a profit for a VC-backed company is not at all unusual. Palantir is coming up on 20.

Sidenote but what do you think about Ahrefs? I'm doing some tests to see how easy it is to get ranked for keywords (with actual helpful content, not crap like this thread is about), but i find the Adsense keyword tool not that helpful as they delete many keywords when you search for them, which kinda voids that tool.

But I currently feel that paying $100/mo for Ahrefs for something I do as a side project is a tad wasteful.
When the data is misleading, defending your interpretation of it by pointing to the same data isn't a rebuttal.

There are millions of electric cars on the road. People charge these cars fairly often. If your interpretation has merit, it could be substantiated by hundreds—if not thousands—of data points. If you really want to rehabilitate your interpretation, maybe start by finding a handful of them.

As for the rest of your post, you are responding to an argument I did not make and have never made. I never claimed that CCS chargers cannot be faster than Tesla chargers.

1. So it looks like they lost $14M on revenue of $71M in 2019, and $16M on revenue of $162M in 2020. Revenue more than doubled YoY, which is impressive. Costs also grew (by a smaller percentage), but they're presumably spending a lot to chase after the growth opportunity and can dial back later.

2. They had positive free cash flow of $14M in 2020, which may be a better metric to look at when assessing their financial health.
Indeed. Poppies are easy to grow and one could have large fields of them with little effort or expense.

I believe that all drugs should be legal but along with the regulation/taxation of same, society needs to have "grown up" conversations about addiction and abuse.
Wow. I’ve understood this viscerally but it’s great to be able to describe it explicitly this way.

Having been both on the sending and receiving end of this, I’m somewhat reflexively hesitant to ask others to do things for me “on a top priority” unless there’s a really good reason (most often a production outage).

I take a somewhat gentler view in that requesters may often not be aware of the effort required by you. If you’re able to communicate that, very often that’s enough for them to reconsider their ask or it’s priority.

Of course there will be a handful of jerks who always want their requests to be prioritized.
I find their approach of "drag and drop these 6 words to form a sentence" or "fill in the missing word in this sentence" was just leading me to recognize correct patterns of letters, not words or meaning.

"aog" always goes after "Lor" and before "san" (obviously made up example) - I couldn't tell you what the individual words meant or what the full sentence said; but I knew that those groups of letters belonged in that order.

I'm also a lapsed B2 in German and played around with that course a few years ago. 3 or 4 weeks ago I got an email that they finally accepted my correction on a blatantly incorrect translation, which had apparently been unfixed in one of their most popular courses for years.
Half the country thinks it is an existential threat. Half the country thinks it's a bad flu. About 612,000 people have died from it, that's more than WW2 which lead to the modern international political and economic systems. So yeah, change is happening IMO.

What we're doing now is proving the efficacy of using a mRNA vaccine platform to rapidly deal with a pandemic at a speed that has never been done before. So far the vaccine has worked great. Now we need to establish global distribution chains and make sure that in the event of an even worse pandemic we have options to vaccinate against it.
Curious if anyone has made (or can make) a specific prediction (based on their climate models and assumptions) that can be verified in a timely manner and/or demonstrated in a repeatable experiment?

The net effect is all worldwide industry is moving to China because they can pollute. It's a humungous prisoner's dilemma and they're defecting while we're cooperating and none of the climate alarmists are calling them out on it. I'd be paying the alarmists to do this if I was working for China.

It’s about status and control. The pandemic revealed many useless employees in the management layer. They’re trying to make the case they aren’t useless by asserting the need to return to the office where they can “practice their craft”.

>The house/apartment you live in is still there (because you still live in it) regardless of if you WFH. The difference is if you WFH, it's actually being utilized 100% of the time instead of just at night and on weekends. Conversely, the office literally doesn't need to exist in the first place if everyone does WFH. So we have to compare having your apartment + having an office, to having just your apartment. The office situation is a net negative no matter how environmentally friendly it is unless it is actually carbon neutral or carbon negative. And that's ignoring the commuting aspect. If we were to abandon all offices tomorrow and let nature re-claim them, it would have a massively positive effect carbon footprint wise. And it's not like offices turn off the AC at night

I am pretty sure most office buildings adhere to strict sustainability standards as opposed to residential housing.Only more luxurious condos are just as good as your average modern office space.

I am pretty sure most modern office buildings turn off the AC at night or have a mechanism to keep it cool by other means (external blinds).

>By this logic, we should keep everyone poor because god forbid they consume something. Consumption isn't negative across the board. And overwhelmingly these days it's digital anyway. If I stay at home and watch Netflix, I have a much smaller carbon footprint than someone who goes and drives somewhere. You can see from the statistics above, the average person drives ~39 miles per day. I'm saying reduce that by 32 on weekdays and you're saying "oh no, what if they replace that with other consumption???". I think it is borderline impossible people would consistently do something _worse_ than their commute (carbon wise) across the board. It's like saying "oh no, if we ban unhealthy deserts in schools people will buy them and eat even more unhealthy deserts outside of school". They won't -- on average kids would be healthier. It's a no brainer.

I am not arguing against WFH.I am arguing against your argument that going WFH would bring net positives for the environment.People with more disposable resources do things that cause more pollution because they participate in economic activity.That's just a fact.

Americans tend to consume much more regardless of whether they drive a car or not.

>There is no reason to suspect this would happen. If you work from 9 AM to 5 PM, and you cut out your commute, you have _more_ time to for example make a home-cooked meal. If anything people will order out less. All the statistics on WFH (and I've done contracting for a meal planning company so I can guarantee this one specifically) support this. People order out less when they work remotely, across the board.

Regarding the "taking longer rides thing" -- people aren't going to do that so much that it becomes as demanding as their commute. Then it would be annoying.

I think things like Jevons paradox beg to differ.Cooking a meal at home is an option many would not choose.
git bisect works remarkably well on monorepos like Nixpkgs, where a commit hash lets you build software exactly as it was at a given point in time with complete dependencies.

Immersion provides the strongest motivation to learn and to try.

To cite Wikipedia: "the basic tenets of CRT include that racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing and often subtle social and institutional dynamics rather than explicit and intentional prejudices on the part of individuals."

This syllogism is the controversial matter of CRT:

1. Anything which has racially disparate outcomes is racist.

2. Modern society has racially disparate outcomes.

3. Therefore, modern society is racist.

As a footnote, the underlying paper and research is by Phil Mason, who goes by Thunderf00t on YouTube. He posted a video of the experiment to his channel today[1].

Can someone explain the “I won’t get it until it’s fully approved by the FDA” logic to me?

Unlike usual vaccine trials, these vaccines have been deployed worldwide with hundreds of millions of people across many different conditions. Europe stopped using some due to an extremely rare blood clotting episode that was tens of people out millions. That suggests that rare, acute side effects have been (mostly?) discovered.

AFAICT, the FDA rules for full licenses seem to require a six month trial, as well as more information on process / manufacturing / quality control.

That just doesn’t seem that important compared to the massive, real-world “trial” data. What am I missing?

Unfortunately, after basically monotonically reducing over the last decade, coal has started creeping up slightly, from 19.5% last year to 21% last 12 months (May2021 and previous 11 months). But it was at the expense of natural gas.

We need to crush coal. The entire coal logistics train, from mines, to coal trains, to power plants, to coal export terminals (and replace blast furnaces with DRI/etc). The US has a quarter of the world’s coal, but we’ve got to lock that stuff underground.
A toy illustrative example, summing two arrays:

CUDA
c[i] = a[i] + b[i]
i += 1

Triton
c[i:i+16] = a[i:i+16] + b[i:i+16]
i += 16

The 16 in this example is the "block size", and could be anything. But this notion of expressing computation over blocks of dense data seems to be the big difference from other approaches.

A very exciting result of the incredible performance that Triton achieves, is the ability to fuse NN operations such as Matrix Multiply + LeakyReLU + Batch Norm. Previously, you needed to rely on cuBLAS for fast hand-written Matrix Multiply kernels, and then your LeakyReLU would need to read that result out of memory, and then your Batch Norm would read the LeakyReLU out of memory again.

The ability to write very fast kernels, and especially being able to fuse them together, to avoid unnecessary memory round-trips is a big deal!
Do you have to disclose that to the employer or only to the lab so they wouldn't include the positive result in the report? I am genuinely curious.

There is a counter point to yours, just as valid, where folks don’t want to be around unvaccinated folks. Maybe they have an immunocompromised relative or child at home. Maybe they don’t feel safe with unvaccinated folks around.

This is a game of odds. People keep acting like this is binary. You’re statistically more likely to have and spread covid without the vaccine.

I would be delighted if my employer enforced this policy but in Finland it’s never going to happen.
I learned Chinese in college and then lived in China for a year and a half. Personally, I think sentence structure and basic (spoken) vocabulary are the easiest parts of Chinese since there's no real conjugation and particles do all the heavy lifting instead of messing with word forms [1]. The hard parts are memorizing a decent number of hanzi and properly pronouncing with tones. I tried duo to learn some Japanese and found it... not great.

[1] Note: Personally, I find Chinese superior to romance languages in this regard - it was actually really refreshing as a learner.

Then vaccine side effects literally ruin your life if you get them. You will be sick, weak, perhaps unable to walk anymore, perhaps constantly shaking.

So many young people have gotten their lives completely ruined by trusting these vaccines. Anyone can go to CovidVaccinated on reddit and see the horrors people experience.

Most vaccinated people are fine (although we have no idea if they will continue to be fine or not, could be birth defects, infertility, or anything else that shows in months or years).

To me it's very stupid to risk your life for this vaccine. Its dangerous.
