Excluding the direct political arguments, is there hope for a clean way to distinguish these types of activities:

* Someone who literally figures out a new, cheap way to make a drug which cures a real disease

* Someone who, as soon as they get the right to, imposes license fees which serve no valid purpose, and profits in status & wealth from these new duties.

1st: interviewing is a game. Treat it as such. Leetcode like hell. Tune your behavioral responses to the stated principles of the target company, and your experience/resume to the needs of that company.

2nd: Submitting resumes goes nowhere. You need referrals. Ask for them shamelessly. You don't need to know the referee. That will at least get your resume looked at. This is their game, so play it.

3rd: have an idea of the timeline to an offer for various companies. Do your Google/Facebook interviews early, more nimble companies later. Start the whole thing off with some practice interviews at companies you don't like. The goal is to have multiple offers in play at the same time.

4th: Don't tell recruiters about your other offers until it's too late and they've decided that they want you. Only tell them about offers that they might compete against (usually their direct competitors), 2 others max. If you'd work at company A for $80 b/c they have a cool product, but would need $100 to work at company B b/c they suck, when you tell company B about your offer at company A, fudge that company's numbers upward. Otherwise, you'll get an offer for $81 from company B and turn them down.
What annoys most the French intelligence is that the Moroccan intelligence services had access to high level French politicians phones.

It's taking a long time because they don't want to break existing code, and don't want to loose too much single core performance. I'd say that counts as inherent difficulty in changing the language. I'm not aware of other languages trying to retrofit multicore without breaking existing code, but I'm sure if any did other people will correct me and can say how it went.

Edit: they're also working on an effect system at the same time, making everything fit into a 25 years old language that's really stable is not trivial.

I'd imagine that if Google were to ever start deploying ARM servers, it could be a big boon. Amazon Web Services and Oracle Cloud already have ARM servers available, and Azure is supposedly working on their own ARM chips, wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

Manga is very good nowadays, I don't blame the kids. Go with what's in. It's culture.
I thought they relied on yearly fundraisers. This is how OPB gets income
Premiums are part of the cost of insurance not the entire cost. Sometimes there are co-pays that can be large. I know that the ACA comes in bronze/silver/gold varieties and I seem to remember reading somewhere that the premiums were the same and what was covered was the same among all the "metal" categories but the deductable/co-pay amounts were different. If you had bronze you had a bigger deductable or co-pay then silver or gold.
I mean, fake realistic handwriting fonts are universally hated, otherwise you'd see people using them for wedding thank you notes or other legitimate purposes. I've only seen them used in extended car warranty scams and similar.

And I'm sure you've thought about the abuse potential and you're doing what you can, but what's going to happen when accounts get hacked? Companies already have to train their employees to be wary of emails impersonating their CEO ("please wire me $10,000 immediately for a high profile account"), and it's going to be much harder to train everyone to mistrust video or even live video calls if Tavus works quickly. I guess it's inevitable, but again, you don't have to be the ones to bring that future to life.

You missed the giant gaping time sink that is the video game industry.

I also think including this in the discussion will, perhaps, emphasize the nuance of what I believe you're indirectly referencing -- the economics of how humans choose to spend their time (sometimes referred to as the "Attention Economy").

I believe literally optimizing for something such as GDP fails to take into account freedom / liberty which is likely something most on this website would agree is incredibly valuable in a society.

I think the difficulty is in creating a consensus around what is acceptable relative to the "Attention Economy". It might even be impossible given that this seems almost indistinguishable from culture -- and there will likely never be a single unified culture if and until something as paradigm-shifting as a multi-planetary species is realized.

> the French government had some conception of what kinds of things they wanted the teens to engage in, and this isn't it

What? The French government isn't dumb. If they didn't want, teenagers to spend the pass money on BD, it would have been excluded. As is, I assume the French government is perfectly fine with French teenagers spending it on French produced entertainment in French stores.
This is an over generalization (and will differ for each member station). E.g. here is the KCTS 9 schedule for the full day tomorrow -- https://www.kcts9.org/schedule/kcts9/20210803

You could make a case for the 1AM slot being quackery and there are definitely more entries like that in the greater schedule but its a very small amount of the content (and ever decreasing...).

Disclaimer: I work for KCTS 9.
It's not as convenient as a user replaceable battery, but most phones have batteries that are replaceable by repair shows cheaply.

Weirdly my 3.5 year old phone actually has about the same battery life as it started with. As android 3.5 years ago was terrible at battery management, so software updates have compensated for battery degradation.
Shows often repeated in the summer as well. Popular longer shows made it to syndication.

Dollar General comes in and offers local consumers a bargain that local consumers strongly prefer. Accordingly, local consumers vote with their feet.

Unless the master plan is to run competitors out of town and then change to "Two Dollar General", it seems like Dollar General is good for consumers (at least if you judge by consumers' own revealed preferences).

You have to admit that Great Britain has a long-term reputation for boiling food to death. And their sporting culture seems even more Leroy Jenkins than that in the US.
The common retort to this argument (“plants feel pain too”) is to imagine that you call the fire department because your home is burning down, and unfortunately your pet is still in the house. When the fire fighters arrive, you tell them hurriedly that your pet is inside and it needs to be saved. Without hesitation the firefighter plunged into the flames and emerges minutes later, but not holding your pet, but instead your aloe plant.

You exclaim in a panic, Why didn’t you save my pet!? To which the fire fighter says, Well plants feel pain too you know! And we’re learning a lot more about how advanced they are and how they communicate.

Do you really think you’d stand and their and consider, Hm that’s a good point, there is no relevant difference between my pet being saved and my plant?

No one who has ever made the argument that plants and animals deserves equal moral consideration due to this capacity to suffer has ever, ever meant it.
Right. My point was that Qualcomm is not doing this themselves. The only snapdragon support in upstream (Linux, Mesa, etc.) is done by dedicated people in the OSS community.

Qualcomm (and MediaTek, etc.) fork the latest LTS kernel or android common kernel, hack it up for that SoC, and dump that on vendors as the msmXXXX kernel.

They'll rebase on top of upstream or android common kernel patches (of that version) for the contracted lifespan, and then pretend that SoC didn't exist.
Here is a quote from the French governement site presenting the program [0]:

> Envie d’aller au théâtre, voir un film ou un spectacle ? De prendre des cours de photo ? D’un roman ou d’un manga ? [emphasis mine]

Which roughly means

Would you like to go to the theatre, see a film or a show? Take some photography courses? Read a novel or manga?

If the French government didn't intend for the money to be used this way, they certainly haven't told the people designing the site that promotes it.

It's worth pointing out the difference between frozen produce (which, as you say, is nutritionally sound) and frozen TV dinners, which often contain multiple times the daily recommended intake of sodium and typically have miniscule portions of vegetables.
By that logic you have headlines like "Windows installs will now require a Microsoft account", with the article saying it only applies to Windows 11 Home. I tend to avoid reading articles where the headline deliberately avoid information in an attempt to get clicks.

There are billions of Android devices. A tenth of a percent of billions is double-digit millions.

Google+ userIDs were for a long time effectively new Gmail and Android registrations. Those peaked at about 3 billion before the automatic assignment of a G+ account was broken in 2015. Conservatively, there are likely well over 6 billion such registrations, which would be 12 million Android 2.3 devices.

Small fractions at Google scale are large numbers.

Realise too that Android shows up in numerous devices, including some embedded tools, as well as tablets, e-readers, and other systems a casual reader might not be aware of.

The problem with this sort of analysis is that they are discussing improvements to average commercial software, but, from a security perspective, average commercial software is atrociously terrible and grossly inadequate in any non-trivial security context. To achieve a game-changing reduction in the total number of vulnerabilities and make them barely adequate would require improvements on the order of 10 to 100 times. A mere 100% improvement does not even move the needle when you need to improve by 10,000% to get to acceptable. It is far more reasonable to look at the existing security-critical systems and designs that already achieved outcomes 100 times better than average commercial software such as those certified to Orange Book A1 and identifying the high ROI improvements that can be cost-effectively retrofit to lower security designs. This is far more likely to result in good outcome than stacking 30% improvements onto a completely inadequate foundation in much the same way it would be easier to retrofit a luxury car design to create a cheap car than to enhance a go-kart design.

Buffer overflow is not a bug, its the consequence of a bug. Unsafe languages don't inherently have more bugs, they have more dangerous consequences of bugs.

If you want to reduce the consequences, there are a number of things you can do. If you want to reduce the number of bugs, you should look at what the cause of the bug is, not the consequence. C is a small language about moving stuff around memory with pointers, so the consequences of bugs are commonly going to be a wrong read/write. That fact says very little about what the mistakes actually are.
Yeah, it's funny when people talk about workloads on their phone lol. I use it to text, make calls, slack for work, watch the occassional video and take some pictures. I'm not exactly batch processing 3d renderings on my phone and I suspect that 99% of the people out there aren't either. My 3 year old iphone is doing fine. as long as it gets security updates and isn't laggy it gets to live.
My point is that if you are not chaining `Maybe` then the utility of employing the construct is unobserved. The entire purpose of using `Maybe` is to relieve the client from the need to make checks at every call for a value that may (or may not) exist. If you intend to immediately "break out" of the monad and (even more specifically) throw an error, you might as well just use an `if`.

I'm sure `main` could be written to "bind"/"map" `getConfigurationDirectories` with `nonEmpty`, `head`, and `initializeCache` in a way that puts the `throw` at the top-level (of course the above implementations may need to change as well). Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with Haskell to illustrate it myself.
What's interesting is PBS is much less aligned with the federal government than most private media outlets, to put it nicely. Not sure how that's happened.
I tend to agree with you. Some people add "Science" to the title just because 1) there are some kind of statistics on the post and/or 2) to make the post more appealing.
Thanks for clarifying.

I guess the point left to further discussion would be whether or not these stores truly server that population.

They clearly found a gap and a solid business model (for now) but is it a success from capitalism is concerned? or humanitarianism is concerned? I'd say the former and maybe a bandaid for the latter in some regions.

Interesting to watch the changes unfold.

Whoa, this was a serious violation. You can't pull in someone's personal details from elsewhere and use it as ammunition in an argument here. It's extremely poisonous of the ecosystem here, regardless of how wrong or hypocritical someone else is, or you feel they are. Even if we assume you're right about that, the global cost of allowing this kind of thing totally dominates any local benefit in some argument. Please don't do it again.

"Might makes right" is a weird takeaway from what I said. That you tried to refocus on corporations while ignoring my reference to the children was also strange. If anything, that you didn't address my point about the overwhelming utility of regionally homogenous languages is more telling of how much there is to fear. 'So what if some culture is lost when the utility gained was so beneficial' was my point. From everything you've said it seems like you don't actually disagree with me.
"Unit of work" is not really a thing for anything other than repetitive physical labor. There's a reason why putting 2x the resources on a problem won't get it solved twice as fast.
Not sure how valid but I think a case from this hypothesized Chinese Government perspective can be made even without criticizing Netflix itself.

When Hollywood was built in the 1920's it was not exactly the backbone of the economy. The article argues that the Chinese Government sees value in the economy beyond GDP goes up and cash flows good. Technology and manufacturing are important to national security.

The article quote Xi Jinping saying “we must recognize the fundamental importance of the real economy… and never deindustrialize.” I guess the national question for the other super power is how important is this "real economy" to itself. Is too much talent and labor sucked up in profitable activity that is suboptimal for a nation? Are these 21st century company's like Netflix good enough for our nation?
But then it doesn't make sense to talk about R0 of a specific delta variant at all because that R0 for delta will be different for different seasons, different countries, even different cities etc.

Instead you could say current R0 in London is 8 (or whatever) and it is mostly delta variant.
I am always looking for ways to live frugally, and I think dollar stores have their niche, and there is good reason for their success.

In my experience, they are one of the best options for buying budget non-food items at low volumes where quality is not the most important factor. Things like cleaning products, office supplies, arts and crafts supplies, batteries, deodorant, candles, even common tools and repair equipment.

The reason is that if I want to save on many of this items, I would need to buy in bulk at a large store like Costco, or order on Amazon - at a greater volume than I need, and at a steeper price. (e.g. batteries, pens, superglue, oven cleaner, drywall patcher,rope etc..)

Not everything you use needs to be of premium quality, and these are the kind of items that large department stores and large online retailers have trouble competing against when selling at low volumes.

Now when it comes to food, there are better cheap ways to help undeserved communities. Large department stores waste a lot of good produce because it is close to their expiration date. Where I live, a couple of grocery stores specialize on selling this type of produce at a discount.
If you factor in the resale value of a 2 year old iPhone and a 2 year old Pixel, I doubt this is true. And one of the biggest reasons for the high depreciation is the loss of software updates...

A better solution for pizza boxes is an industrial composting collection that can take all food scraps and food soiled paper products. instead of adding something that may end up plastic or wax coated trash, we can reduce materials used and "recycle" in a different way.
