MV, EPA and MP becoming Venice. Giving the unstoppably rising price of real estate nobody is going to move away from such a valuable land, even if it is covered by 3 feet of water (to illustrate - imagine the gold rush if real estate development in the shallow waters of the Bay would get allowed today). And once we get used to building in water i can see a new SF built few miles off the Ocean beach :) It can possibly be a future demand generator for various VTOL, human and package carrying, developments around. Google even has its own - KittyHawk. By the time of flooding we'll have batteries improved another order, automated air traffic management, etc.
Actually I totally agree with that. I was being generous in my example, and often what I showed as "Warning" is just a informational-level message. This leads to much more insidious problems like:

....(thousand of lines)...
Info: Package X version 1.2.3 successfully added
....(thousand of lines)...
Compile error: Unknown type Z

Actual problem: Z was added in Package X version 1.3.0, but some other dependency or reference that wasn't updated caused the incorrect version to be loaded.
Yeah, that was kind of my point. There's plenty of room to move within a US state without running into these issues. FWIW I believe the income tax system is the same across the UK. There might be different local taxes in Scotland, but your employer wouldn't need to concern themselves with those.
We already have a strong list of ways lead poisoning can increase crime. When someone is brainstorming to try to find some possible way it could possibly decrease crime, you don't need to point out more ways those reasons could cause increases.
Exactly, and fees are only an incentive. There's nothing stopping miners from discarding your transaction. Therefore trust that miners won't discard your transaction is required.

10 billion a year in global tax avoidance for those tech companies combined doesn't sound like a lot considering their revenue is around 600 billion a year.

Also consider that all the workers are also tax payers and they want the company to continue existing, their taxes would also go towards protecting the bay. Their tax dollars wouldn't exist in California if those tech companies weren't there.
Of course there is American corruption, it’s just not on the level of most countries. The US for example is probably in the 25 least corrupt countries and 5 least racist countries but I don’t think most Americans internalize this because the culture is to always want to be better. There’s good to that but also important to recognize your success.

From time to time, we receive requests from our clients (mostly from the developed countries) to pipeline humans to the service we offer on internet and provide an error free output for a premium price. While the revenues attached to the human-in-loop triple the profits, the uncertainty in satisfying such requests are a concern to us when employing the data validators full-time or even on demand. How do you deal such scenarios?

The Mars Volta did this story years ago, in a less racist and more empathetic way, with their album "Deloused in the Comatorium". Heck, "A Girl and Her Fed" has been running this story for years. I feel like ZHL took descriptions of drug trips from Erowid and slapped emojis on them along with a massive lampshade.

The emojis aren't innocent, either. He thinks we don't see him writing "homogenizing" as RAINBOW FLAG, DNA, for example. Also, why is ZHL so racist?
I feel this way about traditional broadcast/cable. BUT I think the side effect of dwindling audiences is far worse in toxicity. Look at NewsMax and Fox. They cater to more extreme more engaged viewers, at the expense of reality and the health of the rest of us.
I think you're just not familiar with psychiatry terminology. Mental illness and mental disorder are largely used interchangeably. The word illness is not a strictly defined word in medicine in general (whereas disease versus disorder is a legitimate distinction, but it has to do with identifying causes, not with severity). Everything in the DSM is a mental disorder by definition.

I'm also not sure how you can say that it is a disorder and it is mental but somehow it's not a mental disorder? That must require some mental gymnastics to justify.

Also, I literally have ADHD my dude. It's offensive "neurodiversity" garbage to suggest it's not a mental illness. To both people with ADHD and people with other illnesses - "mental illness" is not a dirty word. Maybe we should stop stigmatizing mental illnesses instead of trying to carve out exceptions.

You might want to study a bit more psychiatry before you spew more outdated information on here.

I've had a similar frustration. For what it's worth, sending most logs to RAM drastically reduces the write-thrashing on the SD card, and greatly prolongs the life of a 24/7 Pi: https://github.com/azlux/log2ram

Depending on the use case, RAM disks are also pretty easy to set up for any temporary/volatile storage used by shell scripts and the like.
Are you suggesting that someone trucked away two thousand tons of ammonium nitrate without anyone noticing, presumably for the purpose of recycling it into explosives and thus in full knowledge of its explosive properties, and then capped this incredible achievement in stealthy theft by setting off the rest of it as an improvised bomb that drew every eye in the world?

Because I'm not sure how that isn't what this claim of yours really adds up to, and I'm not going to call it impossible, but I am going to say it needs more substantiation than you have as yet seen fit to give it.
Look I don't believe in this theory. But the part you are missing is the "And maybe the explosion turned out much larger than the thieves expected..."

You look at the explosion see how big it was and say "nobody would be willingly cause that big of a problem to hide a smaller crime." But when you think that you are thinking backwards. You know how big the explosion was, therefore you conclude whoever did it must have known how big the explosion will be. That's not really correct. They might have underestimated for technical reasons, they might have underestimated because they are incompetent.

It is kind of like asking "who would burn down 22,744 acres for a gender reveal party?" Nobody intentionally, that's for sure. But the Earth is full of stupid and/or incompetent people.
How many people knew it was there before they blew up the entire port with it? Blowing it up certainly drew a lot of attention to both the ammonium nitrate, but also all the corruption surrounding it.

Incompetence is always a more likely cause for these things than conspiracy. Not only do we have a long record of this stuff being stored in poor condition, we would also have tons of people leaking about the planned detonation of it were it purposeful.
The most obvious direct route is to go sales engineering. This usually doesn't have a hard target/hard performance aspect to it though, so not necessarily as lucrative as $ target sales roles. Likely you'll have a set bonus based on team rev achievement or Okrs.

I'd advise trying a sales role which is focussed on retention/up selling of current customers first rather than new business - this will allow you to leverage your deep knowledge more vs new biz pitches.

Given your deeper tech knowledge you'll be more likely to pick up more responsibility(therefore better earning opportunities) vs newer salespeople transitioning from sales development (sales prospecting specialisation role).

Where sales gets tricky for newbies is prospecting and pipeline management of new business as reading customer intent is something which kinda needs to be learnt by doing(and generally you are working against time with your slaw quota - 2 bad quarters can mean you're fired) . With new biz prospects you aren't in the customers circle of trust pre sale so a lot of reluctance info or org context that could kill your deal goes unsaid. This is less of an issue with existing customers in my experience.

I think a part of it could be explained by the way things have been in recent times.

As of July 2021 (according to the linked metrics), ~25% of the displays used are 1366x768px while ~40% of them are 1080p. Yet when the "Proton" refresh aimed to promote usability and while certain level of cross-platform was reached, the increase of padding simply made the experiences of people using displays with "less than optimal" resolutions worse. While the proton's hidden and "unsupported" compact mode had a decent height for a 14" FHD display, the same did not look as good on my 15.6" display with the same resolution. When I complained on reddit like many others about the increase in whitespace, I don't think it was given what I believe to be a proper consideration. Why would the main menu be bigger despite having fewer items? And where are the icons? It was a concern back when it was in nightly and many of the concerns remain now even though it has had a stable release.

Another thing that is problematic is the colour-scheme. The newer style incorporates less contrasted colours and does away with what made the preceding Photon design better in certain ways: look at how the tabs on FF used to have a markedly different colour than their backdrop and how there used to be separators between tabs. The fact that the newer design is a bad one somehow eluded those in charge of it and the fact that the contrast between the active tab and its surrounding elements being low being an important issue is an afterthought is telling.

Moreover, the dropdown for the megabar suggestions used to have full-window width but now it is limited to the megabar width for no apparent reason other than looking "cool" (which it does not btw; especially when you compare it to Chromium's counterpart). They introduced the megabar-expansion-on-focus behaviour, kept a config to disable it for a major release or two and then dumped the old one. Also, when you selected multiple tabs, upon a right-click, it used to tell you the count of selected tabs - which no longer seems to be the case. Needless to say, looking at userChrome.css to be _the_ solution for undesirable changes would not work well for anyone in the long run.

Firefox, unlike Chromium-based browsers, does not support XDG base dir spec. It does not bother me very much and neither does FF flickering every once in a while on my main system. What bothers me is that with each new release I feel like FF is losing bits of its magic. Back when FF Quantum was released and was stripped of what many considered the level of flexibility which appealed to them, I was concerned but ultimately accepted it. But this time around the changes feel like marketing speak. Mozilla already has a discourse instance but post-Proton-release they also have a crowdicity instance...

The way things have been going is genuinely upsetting and many users are just reacting to that.
These people still create more value than they get paid. Seems fine.
My take: Firefox on Android is one reason for their problem.

I tried the new version a year ago and restored my TB backup bcs it was so bad. I thought I'd try it again yesterday but man it sucks so bad! No search in history, no bookmark tag support as far as I see, somehow the synced data from desktop doesn't get searched when typing in the address bar, multiple times my entry in the addres bar wouldn't load, the amount of supported add-ons is abysmal. Thats not all but I stop.

My point: If mobile doesn't work it might be one reason people start switching on desktop, too.

I won't. I like to be tortured.
From what I understand, most microplastics in the environment are from washing clothing made of synthetic fibers[1] instead of natural products like cotton. It's rare to find something made from 100% cotton - it's usually a blend of mostly synthetic and sometimes natural fibers. Every time you wash them millions of microfiber plastics are released into the sewer system and there is no filter system capable of removing them so they end up permanently in the water cycle. They even end up in rain and snowfall[2], and have been found in organs of the human body[3] and of course wildlife.

> Microplastic pollution caused by washing processes of synthetic textiles has recently been assessed as the main source of primary microplastics in the oceans.

just extend (heh) the current extension API with the most important missing ones like e.g. a hideBuiltinTabBar().

It is actually slightly more complicated since some stuff depends on the main tab bar being visible (or so they say, my Firefox works nicely even if I disable the main tab bar using a CSS hack.)
That is why such standards exist.

The fact that the Safari result appears to have two linear fits doesn't surprise me at all. Apple has a history of implementing multiple concrete classes for different sizes for the same abstract class. It has been known that NSArray and CFArray will switch the underlying data structure once it grows past a certain size: https://ridiculousfish.com/blog/posts/array.html Now I'm not saying this NSArray trick was what happened here: it clearly is not because otherwise we'd see a quadratic curve followed by a linear curve. I'm just saying the data structure seems to have changed at a certain size cutoff.
They're welcome to disagree. I can write a node that creates a chain with blocks that only contain some transactions of my choice and then broadcasts it.

For nodes that only have access to my chain, they will also go with my chain. This is why being connected to multiple nodes is important.

For nodes that have access to both my chain and the rest of the world's chain, they will go with the chain that has the most work put into it, because that is the one that is clearly supported by the majority computation power. It's irrational to go with the chain that has less power, because the entities that created the chain with more power can easily overwrite the chain with less power by virtue of having more power.

Unless I happen to have more computation power than the rest of the world, the chain with more work put into it isn't going to be mine, which is why it's important that global computation power isn't consolidated into a single miner.

Glad you can laught it off. Meanwhile, Reporters Without Borders have expressed grave concerns: "Craig Murray's prison sentence on charges related to his blogging is disproportionate and highly concerning. RSF emphasises that journalistic activity should not lead to prison sentences anywhere; imprisonment in connection with any journalistic activity should only ever be a measure of absolute last resort - if at all. It is certainly not what we would expect in a country committed to protecting media freedom and the safety of journalists." - https://rsf.org/en/news/uk-blogger-craig-murray-jailed-eight...

They aren't very similar errors, ML solutions are equally accurate as humans in at a glance performance but longer and humans clearly wins. I'd say that the system is similar to humans in some ways, but humans have a system above that which is used to check if the results makes sense or not, that above system is completely lacking from modern ML theory and it doesn't seem to work like our neural net models at all (the brain isn't a neural net).

This video from Veritasium goes into more about Youtuber burnout, self-blame, dynamics and the drive to non-platform revenue streams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHsa9DqmId8

If you find the apparent contradiction between Youtube success and creators needing to built out non-platform revenue streams strange, the video gives a pretty good theory explaining why.

It's possible that a small number of creators are taking most of the revenue at any particular time, and the set of outstandingly successful creators keeps changing, which it might due to the promotion algorithm.

That gives all of them reasons to build out non-platform revenue streams.

I'm not saying Google/YouTube aren't taking too much. But hypothetically, even if they took 0% cut, the above could still happen.
When I get even little bit excited about something and act on it, then it's easy to get things done. No tools required!

Then again, when I'm asked to do something that isn't really my thing or something is off, then I just can fix it with some task manager (!).

Sure, even the most exciting project may feel little bit boring at times but.. as long as it's not all the time I let it be.

It's not healty to be productive all the time.

There's a dev running an experiment to whitelist more combinations of the huge space of (Device, CPU, GPU, OS, OSVersion, Browser, BrowserVersion) to use that feature.
What would you do after seeing that the metrics show that most of the users on your experiment had a bad experience? In that case you'd want to rollback your experiment right away and figure out what's wrong. You really expected all, if not most of the combinations you selected to actually work well, but it's apparently not the case.
The public, through the state, as always.
While the point about the energy consumption of paper -vs- plastic is certainly worth considering seriously, you might need to take a more careful look at your assumptions about plastic disposal.

Mismanaged plastic waste in Asia/Africa and really clean numbers for North America are two sides of the same coin -- flawed accounting. The developing world certainly does not consume, or generate anywhere close to the same amount of waste, (per capita) as North America.

Part of the reason North America appears to have such clean numbers for "properly disposing of[f] plastic" is that garbage is exported to poorer countries, either for "recycling" or more likely burning/landfills (thereby externalizing the accounting, and also most of the damage).

Eg, see: https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/30/21542109/plastic-waste-u... and https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/03/13/7025017...
