> often were owned by the local business man rather than a decentralized group of independent business owners

You imply this is undesirable. Care to elaborate? A large talking point during the protests last year was businesses in Black communities being owned by people outside those communities, or more often than not, by large corporations.

Or are you suggesting that a lot of the owners actually owned multiple such shops and that this isn't true for the shops that replaced them?
When I was gutting/rebuilding my kitchen years ago, I had an unexpected water leak. I’d driven a screw into a PEX line while installing cabinet bases (I missed installing one cover plate before I drywalled). I’d done most of the plumbing myself, but didn’t have the PEX expander tool you mention, just because they’re so expensive.

I called my plumber late in the day and he stopped by on the way home from another gig. He didn’t have the tool on him, so instead he spent about 15 minutes forcing the handle of a socket wrench into the PEX so he could manually cram in a connector. It was remarkable, like watching someone tear a phone book in half. PEX is tough as hell.
> Off-topic, but all that the St Peter's Cathedral in Rome gave me was of obscene wealth and displays of wealth.

Even further off-topic, but if you are referring to the big church in the Vatican adjacent to St. Peter’s Square, it is Saint Peter’s Basilica; it is the second-ranking of the four major basilicas but it is not (though many tourist-focussed lists of cathedrals include it) a cathedral.

The cathedral that is the seat of the Bishop of Rome (and also the first-ranking of the four major basilicas) is the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran.
Not entirely https://www.pbs.org/passport/videos/
Current PBS structure has an interesting solution for this issue, but I don't know if it could be mapped onto an online space.

So since individual stations curate what they fill their airwaves with, they have the option of selecting what content coming from other PBS stations they will broadcast (or not). That provides a bit of a back-stop against truly wild stuff appearing in markets where it won't play without criticism. There isn't one curator; it's many curators with regional scope of influence.

(PBS stations do end up taking criticism, and some of it can be funny. Anecdotally, I know my local station would get complaints that the exercise outfits worn by the people in a work-out show the station syndicated were too revealing. It was the '90s, and these were ankle-to-chest leotards, but people's opinion of appropriate attire varies widely. The station did not cancel the show. ;) ).
The difficulty is that it can be both. Dollar stores almost certainly do SOME kind of good, otherwise they wouldn't exist. Unlike SV startups, I doubt the companies behind them are interested in burning piles of money without turning a profit. They ARE turning a profit, which means people are coming it, which means people find the service offered attractive.

That said, people also find the service offered by drug dealers attractive. And yet if the number of crack dealers in your neighborhood explodes overnight, it's unlikely most people will see that as a positive development. A healthy neighborhood is not one riddled with drug pushers, and a healthy economy is not one riddled with dollar stores. There's nothing wrong with a few discount stores, in the same way there's nothing wrong with someone stopping at a fast food place every once in a while. But if you're eating every meal there, something isn't right.
And if I'm looking at it correctly, the lenses will be a bit further (fractions of a millimeter) from the surface when laying like that. I always worry a little bit when laying my current phone down on its back with tiny lens pop-up, how the lens is basically in contact with whatever I set it on.
It can be scary to see the gears of the machine. Sales is tough though and if this saves an SDR from spending hours making videos we think it’s beneficial. Video messaging is becoming the norm- this is just the next evolution.

There are also so many cool use cases beyond sales!!
You know how "champagne" is technically only champagne if the grapes are from the Champagne region of France, and otherwise it's just sparkling wine? That's a legal designation in the EU.
It’s hard to retrofit, but also they want to do it as seamlessly as they can, and make sure they are creating a sound theoretical foundation.
Vanilla Linux/BSD isn't bad at 10G these days but if you want more performance out of less hardware, TNSR is a productized DPDK/VPP router: https://www.tnsr.com/
This is a great benefit and likely a direct result of them having more (total?) control over the hardware and related drivers.

1) China, USSR, etc had/have more government involvement in running business but also controlling people’s movement and freedom of expression. That’s a different situation than American politics, because even the most progressive democrats don’t necessarily want the government limiting people’s freedoms so much as forcing rich entities to pay higher taxes and to provide more socialized services.

1b) We don’t really need 1 party. More than 2 parties would be great as well. But really we just need the Republican party to not be obstructionist nor actively harmful to democracy.

2) Democrats have the presidency, which, while having greatly expanded powers over the last 50ish years, is still a relatively weak executive. The Democrats have a narrow majority in the House and Senate; due to parliamentary rules, the narrow majority that they have does not allow them to pass or amend laws as freely as you may think. The Supreme Court, while notionally non-partisan, is filled with a majority of conservative Justices which can dissuade or reverse policy made by more liberal branches of the government (federally, or at state levels).

2b) 6 months is not a long time for governments the size of the US. Barrack Obama likened it to a large ocean-liner: there’s a lot of built up momentum, so it takes a long time to stop it or change direction.
I’ve personally stopped reading NYT specifically because of this editorializing vs just reporting issue. It’s really frustrating to see in individual articles; in the greater scheme of things, it’s sad to observe. NYT has always had blunders (eg 2003 war in Iraq), but this is something else altogether.

Good. I've started purchasing Birthday cards here. I've noticed Birthday cards costing 4-6 dollars at grocery stores. They are 50 cents to a dollar at the Dollar Store. Between family birthdays and kid birthdays, I think I spend close to 100-150 dollars a year on birthday cards. That's expense is now down to 20 dollars from Dollar Store.

Just puts into perspective the news coverage of a battery fire vs an oil fire.

The Tesla fire reminded me to try and get the latest safety info on batteries vs oil / gas fires as its not real clear to me yet and immediately this oil well fire pops up and surprised me. I hadn't heard one thing about it reminding me how common place those kind of fires are and uninteresting a week long one is outside of the local news.

I thought it would be interesting to post here to maybe spure some insightful discussion about the safety of each, instead I get reminded that bringing up such a thing is annoying to some of you and then get compared to Russian propaganda, but I'm the What-about-ist...
Thanks!
We were thinking of using BLE instead of Serial wire in upcoming versions. but your suggestion looks interesting too.

there is only one part that needs adaptation which is send/receive bytes. So we will think about your suggestion.

Thanks again!
> Can models leverage them post training?

Yes. The whole point is that you have a slow process train the model offline on very large volumes of sample data, then use that trained model to make actual inferences based on data you find in the field. As those models become bigger and more complex, it takes progressively more computing power to run inference on those models. These ML accelerators are effectively the new GPUs — highly specialised processors designed to more efficiently handle highly specialised workloads.

This is interesting, because I think apple picking orchards and farmers markets have an advantage here over supermarkets and delivery services. For public orchards, the apples are bred for taste first and foremost. Everyone goes in expecting to see dusty apples, with many worms too, but its fine since that's how it is out in the countryside. Everyone is also eating apples constantly while out picking, even if encouraged not to its an open secret, since after you've tasted the honey you are going to end up with two huge bags of your favorite varieties at the end of the day. Farmers markets also do a lot of free samples, even in this pandemic. You can typically ask at a farmers market for a vendor to slice you a sample as well if you are curious, most of the time they just do it for you unprompted as you are browsing. People become regulars at farmers markets if the vendor has very high quality items. They are looking for freaky mutant looking heirloom stuff in a farmers market, not a perfect plastic looking apple for a good price.

Everyone complains about the northeast re: weather, etc. But there’s a ton of stuff like this that many of us who live here take for granted!
This article misses the point. The point is that at a time where teenagers' finances (= their parents') are not at their best (COVID), where theaters and libraries are closed-ish (COVID), where you can't just hang out freely at a coffee shop that offers free comics to read (COVID), where you can't side down in the aisles of the comic book store (COVID), they decided to give them $350. Nobody believed they'd use it to go see some Shakespeare, and nobody should. It's just dumb classicism.

Good on them to use it for something they LIKE instead of something someome else deems better for them.
We Don’t Talk Enough About Money in Silicon Valley (2018)
Amortized cost on the update cycle of Pixel was pretty similar to iPhone(at least in some parts of the world). But I am glad that they are doing longer updates.

I just wish batteries become replaceable again, my phone is 3.5 years old and the only thing that is noticeably worse is battery life. If we are gunning for longer update cycles, batteries should ideally be replaceable. I sincerely hope some big country takes up this as an environmentally friendly/right to repair thing and forces all manufacturers to do this.

Brings to mind Vimes' "'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness", from Terry Pratchett's Discworld:

"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."
Some forms of FTL travel also opens the door to time travel, so even if there is no multiverse and our universe has a point in its future where all energy is at its lowest possible state, we could still bounce around between the Big Bang and the heat death for quite a while.
Given how easy it was to breach their POS system, something tells me the private key that activates them is going to get stolen real fast.

>Previous Pixels worked great but then inexplicably lost OS updates after only a few years.

AFAIK it's not inexplicabile, it's just Quallcomm stopping driver support for newer Android versions a few short years down the road, since they're in the business of selling as many chips as possible and can't monetize the users keeping their phone longer like Apple and Google can with their software and services.
A lot of high power plasma processing equipment is water cooled. RF and DC generators, matches, etc. Stuff that requires a coax cable as thick as your arm. The switch from air to water cooling happens around .5-1Kw, this is the same range they seem to be targeting for datacenter stuff.

Aside from leaks, the building maintenance staff really needs to stay on top of the cooling water chemistry. Cooling loops tend to make slime and if you let it get out of control it clogs up everything and becomes a real problem to clean.
I'm suddenly visualizing an online PBS-equivalent doing a "like & subscribe drive", and that mental picture is a real treat.
Probably not the minority. I know I would appreciate a flush back but lets be real consumers really don't have a ton of influence on a design choice like this.
Which is reasonable. If you can afford 5 fulltime employees you can afford visual studio or take the plunge and move fully to vscode.
And a lot of things we now consider high-brow culture were really just the comic books of the past.
PBS accepts large amounts from #bigAg, #bigPharma and various oligarch 'foundations'. The worry is that these huge entities shape the messaging. You won't ever hear monopolist Bill Gates critiqued on PBS or NPR for example...
I get cultural allowance from my workplace and it's very limited as to what I can actually use it. I can't actually buy any things with it - no books, no comic books, no music, no games, nothing. It's mainly for movie and concert tickets - which has made this benefit rather useless for the past year and a half. I'd much prefer this system where I can actually buy cultural stuff to keep.

I'm doing the same kind of change from macOS back to Linux, with the new "Do It Yourself" laptop by frame.work. If you like making your own hardware choices, the new laptop is a total game changer IMHO. For the OS I like Manjaro (based on Arch) and Mint (based on Ubuntu).

Sounds like the solution then would be to give interviewers all of the systems and support they would normally have access to on the job and see how well they adapt to a conventional task or an issue that was recently solved by someone in a similar position on your company, and have their result evaluated by someone involved with the implementation or fix.

That would tell you if their workflow would fit your company much more than knowing how to run a coding challenge would.

I find that red delicious actually tastes quite good if you manage to eat it before it becomes mealy. Sweet, juicy, crisp bite. The problem is just that they become mealy relatively quickly.
The natural conclusion of this is no retail at all, no malls and high streets reduced to cafes, hair salons and betting shops (where that’s legal). All retail goes through 2 or 3 big online suppliers with cavernous warehouses that deliver daily in vans or at a premium within the hours via bike or drone.

This sounds more dystopian than utopian to me.

The real issue is that all value created by the likes of Dollar General leaves the community. If the owner of the store is in the community, those dollars will more likely be spent withing the community. The increased tax value on the owner's home will be in the community. With Dollar General, all of that leaves.

Nobody in a Dolllar General is making much more than the proprietors of the old local store were making. Yet, their prices are cheaper. Why? Because Dollar General is taking a cut.

This may seem better to the local community at first (lower prices means more money in their pockets) yet this money is leaving the community forever. With the local grocery store, money flowed in circles, now Dollar General is extracting what value is in the community until the community dies.
Economists and markets define the value of something as whatever someone will pay for it today.

Successful parents and sage founders define value differently.

They don't see dollars. They see sense.
That largely depends on the type system. Languages like Haskell and Scala which have much more powerful type systems than C/Java/Go/etc absolutely do allow you to do those sorts of things. It is a bit harder to wrap your head around to be sure and there are some rough edges, but once you get the hang of it you can get the benefits of static typing with the flexibility of dynamic typing.
