Any brewery can get you dextrose much cheaper than $2/lb. I think we are paying around $0.55/pound or something close to that in my area (Texas) for a 50lb bag.

Note this is a shortage currently on dextrose because of all the hard seltzers appearing in the market so quickly and using it all up, so it will probably go up as these keep growing.
That's exactly what my Tesla does. I need a constant torque on the steering wheel or it yells at me and slowly comes to a stop.
The fake adversity and theatrics make the video feel really dishonest.

TL;DW: It's grown from cells off a chicken feather, using "the same nutrition", is still too expensive, looks like ground chicken, and is indistunguishable when turned into a breaded/fried chicken nugget.

Not sure anything productive will come out of a sweeping title which turns out to his subjective opinion about a few UI features being different than what he’s used to, especially for relatively niche operations. It’s unclear what makes him fiddle with Bluetooth or WiFi so much more than average – joining lots of private WiFi networks? – but it seems like this is Apple optimizing the mainstream use-case, which isn’t exactly unexpected.

Notifications are an interesting case because his logical model doesn’t match the system’s (badges numbers are not just a notification counter - for example, my newsreader & podcast app badge unread items), or which apps he’s using which don’t sync notification state across devices as all of the Apple apps and most mainstream ones do, but also what I think of as a war of attrition trying to have the UI cope with abusive app developers. The App Store ToS disallows marketing spam but if the app is pushing that line, you really should disable notifications or, better, delete it and leave a negative review — trying to filter spam is a losing game when you’re doing it part-time and the developers has a team trying to exploit your attention.
Did I not just say this before? [0] [1] [2], seems like the safety probe formally agrees with my (and many other's) concerns over the deceptive advertising of the FSD package and its safety risks towards other drivers.

I own a Model Y and am a pretty heavy Autopilot user. You have to regularly give input on the steering wheel and if you fail a few times it won't let you re-engage until you park and start again.

Personally Autopilot has actually made driving safer for me... I think there's likely abuse of the system though that Tesla could work harder to prevent.

Video summary: the reporter visits some company that makes lab-grown chicken meat. They use some cells from the chicken feathers. They feed them with nutrients and grow them into something that looks like a minced chicken.

At the end of the video, the reporter is trying a deep-fried chicken nugget out of it and saying that it tastes just like a real thing.
Fixing C++'s footgun – Expression Evaluation Order, C++17
I think the solution can be reached following from a set of simple observations about a single line of sight:

- in a square room all angles are right

- with wall at right angles the laser light will always create an inscribed square and return to the source for any given angle

- there is exactly one angle in a range <0,90> at which the light bounced from a single wall will go through an arbitrary point in the room

- there are 4 walls which gives at most 4 squares to be blocked

- the blocking point can be set anywhere on the inscribed square before the target - this gives at most 2 points per square (we can consider them left- and right- -hand directed) hence 8 points necessary

- at start we selected only angles from the <0,90> degree range for the ease of calculation, so there are also symmetric versions in the (90,180> range

- which gives us at most 16 points to block all the possible squares in both directions
If the war is already proxy, what does labeling Americans as terrorist do?
Yes, it's a great example of a Pareto distribution where 20% of the price gives you 80% of the features.
To add an anecdote: No Code already was the hot new thing in the 90s when I studied CS. You could click together custom interfaces in Delphi and even do basic wiring with clicking alone, IIRC. Devs expected that laypeople click together the solution they want and developers do the remaining wiring. Yet no non-developer could actually use that thing. Nowadays I think the main hurdle is the transformation of a fluffy real world problem into something of an algorithm. Developers do this almost unconsciously, because they practice this all the time, and thus are usually not aware of it. Yet this process of quantification of the real world problem often is the actual problem, not writing it down as code.
> If someone is hours deep into your documentation, that's not really advertising. That's a real service they're consuming, and forming opinions based on how it tastes. Marketing is more about the impression they get in minutes, not hours.

No, marketing is about getting someone to contact sales to buy your product. (There is a fuzzy line between sales and marketing) I have personally spent days in the past evaluating two different products, which did put me hours into reading documentation trying to figure out how to make them work.
On the subject of notifications, clearing notifications on other devices does clear the notification on iOS too, assuming the developer of that app implemented and designed for that behavior.

It is true that clearing a notification may not clear the app badge, but that's because there's a distinction between clearing and dismissing notifications. To dismiss a notification, you have to view it, either by pulling down the notification banner as it comes in, or long pressing; that peeks at the notification, and if you pull down on it again, it's dismissed. Otherwise, if you clear the notification, it's assumed that you have not viewed it (since you can bulk clear and not have to interact with every notification individually). This may not be straightforward at first, but at least I prefer that it fails safe for the user, and they don't miss a notification they accidentally swiped away. I hear notifications on iOS 15 are coming closer to the Android experience, if that helps.

On the subject of getting to the settings quicker, at least on iOS 15 you can get to Spotlight search faster.

Regarding auto-correct, it's the first thing I turn off and only keep predictive text, but at least when you do have it on, you get a visual cue that the word has been changed with the word flashing. It would be better if it underlined the word like it does for when it's not sure whether it chose the correct word during dictation.

I would've expected something more systemically wrong (of which I'm sure there are at least a few) referred to in the article than just a few UI/UX quirks.
I've been involved in two open workspaces / hackerspaces ... one had a very open "use at your own risk" attitude towards powertools and you just signed a waiver that they are not responsible, the other had a "you are not allowed to use our powertools" policy for insurance reasons.

Not surprisingly the second workshop was not used at all, which is somewhat of an antithesis to being an open workshop in the first place ...
As a woodworker, i've noticed 90% of time is easily spent on setting the tools up. Jigs help save time because they let you spend less time setting up tools.

Economy of scales are gained when you can get more products out of the same number of tool setups.
Or more charitably, while the UX/DX distinction isn't very meaningful for this project, there are lots of products (e.g., payments) that target both (non-developer) end users and developers. It helps to be able to separate the personas.

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

If the claim was "Nerds don't respond to advertising," I'd have disagreed but potentially found the arguments to be reasonable.

But to say nerds are impervious to marketing as a whole says more about the author's understanding of what marketing is than it does about nerds.

I had a Polaroid Swinger. Few of its pictures survive to this day. "It's more than a camera... it's almost alive! It's only nineteen dollars... and ninety-five!" In those days this was not cheap. And... after _every_ picture you had to carefully take the photo by the edges, then open the film canister of the special Polaroid photo preservative and take out the foam sponge and carefully wipe it across the photo a couple of times for complete coverage and then wait half a minute for it to dry before doing anything with it. Sorta lessened the spontaneity of owning a Polaroid.
This article doesn't seem particularly coherent.

At one point it claims these taxes are not a meaningful way to generate revenue, and then goes on to say the tax in Vancouver generated C$84M over two years instead of an estimated C$4M. I guess they want to say that C$84M is such a meaningless amount to Vancouver it's not even worth collecting? That seems like a stretch.

Then it goes on to say it hasn't done much. Yet they themselves say it has reduced the group of identified problems by 25%. If anything the important part here seems that the problem group was small in the first place. However how does that fit in with the fact the tax ended up producing over 20x the expected revenue?

They also point out other instances where the tax has apparently made substantial changes but not enough changes. This includes the vacancy rate going from 0.3% to 0.8%, instead of a hoped-for 5%. That's still more than double the original rate.

They also say a large number of homes qualify for exemptions from the tax.

Another implementation in Melbourne is apparently not enforced well in the first place.

And the problem continues to exist in both places, of course.

Somehow their conclusion is that the entire idea is not worth pursuing. I don't see how. The tax in Vancouver seems to substantially change behavior and raised substantially more money than expected which is earmarked for government programs dealing with the problem. There are also apparently many exceptions which seem like good avenues to use to skirt the tax, and it seems likely to be worth closing those loopholes.

As for Melbourne, I don't even know what to say about it. How are we supposed to conclude that an unenforced measure is entirely the wrong kind of idea because it hasn't changed anything? It wasn't enforced, so how could it have?

Articles like this one are the kind of thing that convinces people to begin to outright ignore a source. It's one thing to have a usual angle and tend towards it while presenting a fair and coherent picture of the situation. It's another to shove out this drivel that doesn't even appear to be a good-faith analysis.

> But you all followed through with Marshall, and that was perhaps the ideal example that nation building works.

I don't know about this. I may call it "nation re-building" - Europe already had highly developed societies, infrastructure, and institutions. But coming into a less developed country and trying to insert those institutions by force - or even worse replace them - sounds unlikely to work.

I wonder if maybe the Americans started actually believing the nation building stuff after saying it over and over for 5 decades...

“In this addendum, we have uncovered further evidence of how top scientists at the WIV and Dr. Peter Daszak, an American scientist, furthered that cover-up. Their actions include bullying other scientists who questioned whether the virus could have leaked from a lab; misleading the world about how a virus can be modified without leaving a trace; and, in many, instances directly lying about the nature of the research they were conducting, as well as the low-level safety protocols they were using for that research.”

We have so man “show trials” in Congress. How is it that the only public questioning of Daszak was on the Racinello YouTube channel? Sort of astounding to me, unless he is “one of ours,” as they say.
I agree that people often don't treat the exit code the way they should when using the backticks. However there's better options in the ruby stdlib too, like `system` and `spawn` and `popen`. Using the other methods allows you to also sidestep the shell if you know the arguments you want to pass.

Well, given that chicken is mostly tasteless, and nuggets are highly flavoured to make them appealing, that's not surprising at all. Might have been made out of cardboard if you can mix it with the right things to get the consistency close.

let's not move the goalposts, we aren't arguing whether this was a "peaceful protest", we are arguing whether it was an insurrection aka a violent attempted takeover. If all it takes to overthrow the capital is the same level of violence as a civil riot, I'd say there's something wrong.

No sources for this, so I'll assume you're referring to Officer Brian D. Sicknick. So, this might not be true: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-false-and-exaggerated-c...

There's a section on this in Wikipedia too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Brian_Sicknick#Subseq...

> On April 19, 2021, the office of the chief medical examiner of the District of Columbia, Francisco J. Diaz, reported that the manner of death was natural and the cause of death was "acute brainstem and cerebellar infarcts due to acute basilar artery thrombosis" (two strokes at the base of the brain stem caused by an artery clot).

Let us look on the bright side: With all the "alternate facts" promulgated by politicians one must undertake some discernment of the context, the source, and not immediately accept what is said as fact. This hesitancy to immediately accept what is written is a good quality to have. Unfortunately it does not seem to be a widespread quality in the US voter.

Many people were raised and psychologically used to the days when news media had professional journalist who dug out the truth and presented it to the people. Many have still that mindset even though those days are in the past, and many media sources are tainted with other objectives than digging out the truth. That seems to be left to the individual. So Life is forcing us to grow more discerning; hopefully there will be a long term payoff.
if this was available in a store today I would prefer it over most offerings. Likely anti-biotic free, no added hormones, vastly reduced risk of contamination. It reduces the threat of swine flu and bird flu. Vastly better for the environment. No idea why anyone would have an issue with it besides the initial mental gymnastics of accepting where it comes from.
The average driver breaks multiple laws on every trip. Most of the time no one gets hurt. But calibrating performance against folks violating traffic and criminal laws sets the bar too low for an automated system. We should be aiming for standards that either match European safety levels or the safety of modes of air travel or rail travel.

> The biggest challenge it seems to me though, is once price parity is achieved, how do you convince meat eaters to choose this chicken nugget over the perceived 'healthier' flesh of a dead chicken.

By pushing beyond price parity. If it tastes the same, actually has the same composition, and costs less, people will buy it, and economies of scale will make real meat a lot less attractive very quickly.

People will also stop having an (easy) choice because McDonalds will almost certainly jump on the wagon train and advertise that their chicken nuggets are now "cruelty free" or whatever marketing term they use to mask the fact that they did it because it's cheaper.

What I'm not going to do, as a meat-eater, is pay 5x as much for the privilege of eating a shittier burger, that will also kill me unless I take vitamin supplements on top.
I actually disagree. (And before you respond, please read my post because it’s not a trivial point.)

The fact that an huge formal investigation happened with just a single casualty is proof that it may actually be superior for safety in the long-term (when combined with feedback from regulators and government investigators). One death in conventional vehicles is irrelevant. But because of the high profile of Tesla’s technology, it garners a bunch of attention from the public and therefore regulators. This is PRECISELY the dynamic that led to the ridiculously safe airline record. The safer it is, the more that rare deaths will be investigated and the causes sussed out and fixed by industry and regulators together.

Perhaps industry/Tesla/whoever hates the regulators and investigations. But I think they are precisely what will cause self driving to become ever safer, and eventually become as safe as industry/Tesla claims, safer than human drivers while also being cheap and ubiquitous. Just like airline travel today. A remarkable combination of safety and affordability.

This might be the only way to ever do it. I don’t think the airline industry could’ve ever gotten to current levels of safety by testing everything on closed airfields and over empty land for hundreds of millions of flight hours before they had sufficient statistics to be equal to today.

It can’t happen without regulators and enforcement, either.

> But how can you react promptly if you're not ready? I just don't get this.

You cannot, that's the simple truth. You're supposed to focus on the road anyways and should be able to take over once any sort of autopilot or assist system starts working erroneously, yet in practice many people simply assume that those systems being there in the first place mean that you can simply stop focusing on the road altogether.

It feels like the claim of "fully self driving vehicle" is at odds with actual safety, or at least will remain so until the technology actually progresses far enough to be on average safer than human drivers, moral issues aside. Whether that will take 15, 50 or 500 years, i cannot say, however.

That said, currently such functionality could be good enough for the driver to take a sip from a drink, or fiddle around with a message on their phone, or even mess around on the navigation system or the radio - things that would get done regardless because people are irresponsible, but making which a little bit safer is feasible.

NHTSA is lumping TACC with Autopilot to increase number of incidents and make the case sound more serious:
