The one piece of jargon in tech that I loathe is not listed here: "Ask". Not as a verb, but as a noun.

"We have a few asks for your team". - ie: we need something from you.

From what I have heard, this came out of Microsoft at some point. As engineers and managers drifted between companies, it became pretty common across Lake Washington over at Amazon. I can only hope appropriate quarantine procedures are followed to keep it contained in the Seattle region, but I suspect there are cases spreading globally at this point.

I don't even know what it is that I hate about it. It's perfectly reasonable as a word, and usually I'm a linguistic descriptivist. But ugh, that word.
> Announced by who? The United World Government?

Yes, also known as the US government, because that's where those services are located, and who ultimately controls 99% of the Internet through .com/.net/.org.

"Domains with more than (some definition of "big") under .com/.net/.org must not point to nameservers announcing A records for any of the subdomains. DNS server operators serving more than X clients must report aggregate statistics."

Is it practical? Realistic? A good idea? Probably neither. But it would be a feasible way to ensure IPv6 support, with worldwide effects.

> Now it’s ISPs, in your previous comment is was websites.

The government forces website operators to offer only IPv6. As a result, ISPs that don't support IPv6 are about as useful as a provider that drops a wet string at your doorstep. Thus, in order to be useful and deliver a service worth paying for to your customers, ISPs would be forced to support IPv6, even without a legal mandate.

Due to the dominance of US web services, the US doing this would force this upon ISPs worldwide.

> you have to replace all end user devices

In most cases, not the devices, only the software, or rather, the configuration on it.

> container ships’ worth of PS5s

The PS4 and 5 support IPv6 according to what I found. https://toreanderson.github.io/2021/02/23/ipv6-support-in-th...

Most importantly, in the proposed model, Sony would most likely fall under "larger than X" if services were included, i.e. they'd have to switch to IPv6-only too (and issue updates to support that or leave their users stranded).

Maybe add an exemption for services supporting systems last sold more than X years ago.
In 1994, I got to see Shoemaker-Levy’s impact with Jupiter through the Lick 36” Refractor at Lick Observatory. Jupiter had a visible dark spot from one of the fragments, and another piece over it, speeding ever so slowly toward its doom. I’ll never forget the sight.
I think that’s the approach many car manufacturers have been on for decades.

As a simple example, ABS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system) only interferes with what the driver does when an error occurs.

More related to self-driving, there’s various variants of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane_departure_warning_system that do take control of the car.

And it is far from “incapable of speeding”, but BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz “voluntarily” and sort-of limit the speed of their cars to 250km/hour (https://www.autoevolution.com/news/gentlemens-agreement-not-...)
Sounds easy, but one false positive causing a blackout would be brutal for trust in the system.

There are few tiny startups catering to small niche e.g. https://diy-india.com sells tiny screws, shafts etc. for reasonable price. But they hardly get the support needed to scale up to something like McMaster-Carr, Which the startups emulating western startups or EdTech startups get in India.

> I still miss the taste, texture and nutritional benefits of meat and this will hopefully tick those boxes

To vegans I have to say "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good."

You can have all those things with actual chicken, you just have to spend more or eat it less frequently to mitigate the harmful effects of factory farming. Really, adding yourselves to that customer base may well result in a net improvement in animal welfare and food safety.

And don't forget that the more accurate you want the taste and texture, the more of the actual chicken you have to grow in the dish, and at that point, is there really a big ethical benefit?

I can't prove nonexistence, but the ones I've had are not very close. Beyond apparently tried in the early '10s but the product was not well reviewed. They just released a new type of tender that is apparently much better. Nonetheless, the fact that even companies that are dedicated to making high fidelity plant-based meat replicas have failed before suggests this is not an easy problem.

I would strongly advise otherwise.

> I get to buy a touchable, physical, valuable assets. If something happens to me, I can use that asset for myself.

There are expenses in maintenance. If you're in a condo, you'll have to pay condo fees and taxes every year. These will go up as your property appreciates

> It looks like the assets is going to increase in value in the foreseeable future

You don't know this, but if you want a positional bet on real estate there are cheaper managed options such as REITs

> Regular, predictable additional income when I rent it

Renting is non-trivial. You can make good income that may even cover your mortgage, but one bad tenant or a few months vacancy will wipe out your returns. Eviction for non-payment is also non-trivial and takes 6 months to 2 years depending on the state. In non-US its often longer. Something like covid also means your tenant is likely living rent free indefinitely. You'll also have to maintain the tenant and pay for stuff. Fridge breaks down, need a new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, all on you. It's not predictable. You can pay someone to manage the rentals for you, but the rate is something like 10% of gross rent and that doesn't cover expenses that may arise.

> I cannot "spend" the house, unless I pull the plug and sell it - which is a big commitment. I cannot enter a spiral that leads to me slowly but surely waste that money.

Homes depreciate and require a lot of maintenance. More true for houses, but condos have other expenses such as condo fees

> Assets value is not easy to evaluate, as opposed to stocks/bond which evolve on a daily basis. I currently have stocks, and I end up checking their value almost daily. I believe it actually adds stress in my life and that stuff is addictive. I am not sure I like it that much.

There are less liquid investment vehicles other than stock that don't have the daily update factor. There's a lot more stress when your property needs a new roof and you're trying to manage maintenance when you're not there to supervise.
It felt a dismissive comment for me too, but I think the main point of GP is that you are wrong about Pessoa being ”in denial” of his depression.

LaTeX has good typography. I'd rather look at a LaTeX resume with a decent template than an MS Word one. Plus, with LaTeX you can use version control. Markdown doesn't give you the level of control most people want in their resume layout.

Edit: also, I agree that Computer Modern can come off as signaling (although, in quant finance, I found it to be a useful and positive signal). But using other fonts it doesn't have the same connotations and just looks a bit more polished.

Saudi Arabia cooperated with the USA after 9/11. Taliban harbored Al Qaeda and helped OBL reach Pakistan safely.

There's a big difference. Saudi Arabia has to answer for creating and sponsoring the ultra-conservative Wahhabi-cult of Islam, but that's getting further removed from the fundamental issue of protecting the 9/11 planners _after_ 9/11 (aka: what the Taliban did)

But that isn't true with the examples the author proposes. It has degraded a lot, although we forgot about changes in media. Nobody knew in yesterdays world which articles were read and which were not. Newspapers were bought as a whole. Today analytics show us that the most bullshit articles generate the most clicks, either out of rage or affirmation. Content is seriously drifting that way because for any business that is a sensible choice. But for quality this is misinterpreting data. A case were less data leads to better results. Rare, but a misinterpretation can be more damaging than remaining inconclusive.

Online news is compared to its paper versions, many outlets still have significant differences here. Of course there was a lot of bullshit too, but today almost everything is bullshit. We even built bullshit-thrones for those that produce the most.
It is because we are no longer improving our society's "hardware" (read: infrastructure).

Well you could argue that if a PM focuses on the duck - or something that is fine if there wasn't a duck - said PM needs to reconsider what they do as well. Educate the PM, instead of the developer adding fluff to distract the PM.

And "no" is a complete sentence. I know, chain of command and authority and the like is hard to rebel against, costs energy and brain space, but I think in the example given, the artist should be the authority on what is in an animation, not the PM. They are entitled to an opinion of course and to voice it, but they would be one voice among many.
> To a nerd, that avoidance is a very bad thing, because a nerd prides himself on knowing the details.

> So the marketing message that avoids details and tries to sell some "powers" that work "out of the box" hurts the ego of the nerd. This feeling of hurt is certainly an emotion, so I wouldn't say nerds are less emotional!

I think you're missing something fundamental here, possibly because of some connotation about "nerds".

When I buy something, I want to know details about what it does and how it works, not because I like knowing a million details, but because I want to do stuff with it. If I buy a laser pen, I'm going to use it to play with my cats, but I also want to use it as a range finder with a diode, so I want to know the beam spread and wavelength. If it doesn't fit the specifications, I don't want to know about the other features, they don't matter at that point.
Don't waste time explaining something to someone who is stupid
I think the only way not to waste time with someone stupid and stubborn, who is not willing to learn and just wants to defend his shitty position without arguments is to ask him for his iq score (if he did some serious test to measure his iq) If he/she don't have it, or it's less than 120, don't waste your time.

No. TSMC spend enormous amount of money developing their processes. To implement them in the fab, they need and thus cooperate (and co-develop) with vendors. But TSMC is far from just integrating stuff.

As an example, TSMC design their own gates, including how they are structured and created on the die. This means developing each process step.
I'm so, so in for browser modernisation, I really like the look of what you're doing, I'm a devoted vim addict, and I'll be trying the demo later. But honestly $15/month is extremely pushing it, to the point that I probably won't go for it.

> Absolutely. "Marketing" encompasses anything and everything that gets people to buy.

No, a large part of getting people to buy a product is to first make a valuable product. Consider these two examples to see the point:

Example: You made a shitty product and try to market it by telling people exactly what it does. Nobody buys it, was the marketing bad?

Example2: You made an excellent product and try to market it by telling people exactly what it does. Lots of people buy it, was the marketing good?

The problem in the first example isn't bad marketing, instead to get more people to buy their product they should fix it.

Oh that's fair enough. In Brazil you can get "galinha caipira" which is a kinda free-range but turned up to 11. The meat is brown in colour, very dense and quite chewy, and if properly prepared salt is enough for it to taste great!

I that while you observation is true the cause is something else. When looking to do something productive (write software or apply wood working skills) we are a mostly a victim of our on worldly experience. A software engineer lives and breathes software development and so it's only natural that he only sees software problems and so commences with implementing solutions for those problems.

Sometimes there are other problems but it's really our live experiences that limit us from building enough of an affinity with them to naturally want to solve them.

Thanks for taking the time to make us the first post to post a comment about. The one thing to keep mind is this a browser designed for professionals more than personal use. Example would be WhatsApp vs Slack. Granted some people use even WhatsApp for work, but at companies and within teams Slack is used more because of the structure it gives. Now yes there is a freemium version of Slack but to get the most out of it for teams, you need to updated to organisation pricing which at that point it is paid. Again appreciate taking the time to let us know what you think

Could you describe what you are actually adding on top of the new Safari?

Tab groups are there, sync of them too, keyboard operation too, sharing as well (your improved sharing does only seem to work when both the sender and receiver have your browser, so for a niche tool, it probably won't be useful that often).

Which would mean, based on your landing page, that I'd be paying 15$ per month for split-screen.

Don't get me wrong, I think innovating on the browser and trying to find new paths, different to those that have been treaded for years is great! 15$/mo is also ok for a big value-add. But I don't see much innovation here that's not also in the status quo.

Please show me what I'm missing though, as I probably don't have the full picture.
Why exactly? I don't understand. I never understood what was the real reason for the war. Multiple theories have been put forward that I am aware of but they all seem (to me) to be "just so" stories trying to find a post-hoc explanation for what seemed to be an invasion completely without reason. Oil interests, heroin trade, geopolitical advantage, democracy and human rights (actually that was one of the explanations at the time I think), revenge for 9/11, none of all that makes any sense, neither not invading unthinkable.

Why was not invading unthinkable, at any point? More so, why was it necessary? What did anyone gain from sendnig an already piss-poor and backwards country even further back in time towards the Stone Age?

And, to clarify, are you saying that to not invade was unthinkable for US citizens, or for the US government? Or someone else?
A major reason for the rise of the medication side is because for many acute mental health episodes medicines, like lithium for example, are extremely effective at treating the episode. Even the most anti medication psychiatrist must acknowledge that for a lot of acute mental conditions, the evidence is overwhelmingly in support of medication even if we don't understand very well their mechanisms of action.

The interesting push back that is happening against medication I think is because for more chronic and long term mental health conditions, the medications we have aren't as clearly effective for everyone and as a result of their chronic nature, the types of evidence we can collect and analyze will be further limited.
