If you're referring to drawbacks - then you have to ask, why did the railroads grant them? Why would other oil shipments pay a higher rate?

Is it because the volume and stability standard oil offered, as well as ownership of tankers and other critical infrastructure needed to be compensated for?

Once again, their market share was falling while these programs were going on so clearly it didn't hamper competition.

They don't seem to have fallen off, are still the most widely used platforms in the world with billions of users in total. It is popular to think that A/B testing leaves you in local maxima, but what about alternatives? The only thing I've seen work is something like Pixar's brain trust - you do testing but you also rely on the good judgement of a small group of people with a strong sense of vision. Judging good judgement is pretty hard though, and you won't know if they're just full of it or winging it unless you try and trust. And so everyone does A/B testing which to be honest sounds much better than your average PM making decisions that are pulled out of their ass.

Browser vendors have long opposed making backwards incompatible changes. The problem is if any existing websites start breaking some users will switch browsers because of it. Browsers that don't implement the backwards incompatible change will in turn gain users. No browser wants to lose users, all browsers want to gain users, so no browser is willing to make any changes that cause old websites to break. Once it's a browser feature, it's always a browser feature (with very limited exceptions).
> You'll see that this definition corresponds exactly to the usual notions of size for finite sets, and makes intuitive sense.

This has always been my problem with the idea of some infinities being "bigger" than others. This definition does not correspond to the usual notion of size for finite sets, because finite sets actually have size. So rather than making "intuitive sense", it makes no sense (to me).

Having no surjective function from one set to another makes sense, but defining one set necessarily as "less than" the other does not, as the word "less" cannot, in such a context, mean what its definition implies.

> (if for every y we have an x, there must be at least as many xs as ys)

The lack of a surjective function does not mean that we cannot have an X for every Y, it just means we can't map an X for every Y with a surjective function. It doesn't mean a pairing cannot exist (at least not abstractly, which is how all infinite sets exist anyway). The pairing can simply be random and undefinable. There, now a pairing exists and both sets are the same "size". (It's not a surjective function, but if the point is simply to compare "sizes", then what does it matter?)
kind of a wild idea: have you considered contacting both management teams, explaining the situation and asking if they'll write you a new contract that retroactively allows you to put things in a state as if you had exercised?

you did work for them in good faith, they offered renumeration in good faith. you made a mistake which leaves you out the equity... if they really did intend to compensate you with the equity, i see no reason why they couldn't do it retroactively now.

they may at first blush just interpret the old agreement without thinking, but if they intended for you to end up with that equity, why wouldn't they make it right now... before lawyers get involved.

I think too many people ( ones who did not have kids) threw themselves into work since Covid started.

Companies squeezed every ounce of productivity possible from employees.

I imagine most people who had never worked remotely pre-covid did not understand that you need to clearly demarcate you work and personal life when WFH.

Everyone was just thrust into this. And companies took advantage of the market uncertainty to basically exploit folks.

Shame on them and now the workers are retaliating by quitting en-masse, demanding they be treated better.

It's a paradigm shift with some of the power back in the hand of employees.
It’s also capitalism - this became economically viable through endless technological progress and globalization, a risk was taken, the market was validated, and what once required millions of sales to be viable now is tens of thousands. This is a free market success.

> It is quite possible (although unlikely) to apply to UC Berkley and UC Merced but only be accepted to UC Berkley.

It’s theoretically possible, but given that UC Berkeley is impacted in lots of places and Merced is under capacity everywhere, not plausible (actually, given certain system-wide guarantees, its far more likely to apply to Berkeley but not Merced and still get offered admission to Merced than to apply to Berkeley and Merced and get offered Berkeley and not Merced.)
FreeBSD does have some kind of effort to work on adopting them. While that may expand compatibility greatly, it would be in my view a major loss. FreeBSD WiFi drivers more than make up for in quality what they fail to have in quantity; Linux drivers are generally the bottom of the barrel and this often translates directly to poor user experiences with them. FreeBSD drivers may work on less hardware ... but when or where they do work, they are often much more of a sure thing.

(Haiku has its own troubles with FreeBSD drivers, for sure, but generally this seems to hold true: either it works nearly perfectly or it completely fails to recognize or initialize the hardware. Almost all tickets on our tracker now or in the past about such drivers have been along those lines.)

Depends? Amazon's SIMs are locked to the specific Kindles, so you need to clone at least the radio identification codes (like IMEI) that is used, and you need to relay that to a specific proxy operated by Amazon because the network-in-question would block (on behalf of Amazon) other servers.

I imagine that in case someone has implemented this, it would be locked in a similar way to ensure that it can only access those ad servers and nothing else.
Wait, why are alert, prompt, and confirm being deprecated? So we are going to need to write poly fills for old features?

Indeed, but then it becomes an argument about degree, not kind.

FWIW although I'm actually a fan of decay, I think its a terrible idea to deprecate `alert()`. I get it that it's abused, but it's also an important part of learning js -- it's the easiest way to make a side-effect. (No, `console.log()` isn't easy because you have to open dev tools, which is scary and hard. A simple modal dialog is far friendlier and immediate and visceral and gives a feeling of power.)
The one feature I like better of the Samsung TV is the picture setting menu, which seems to have more options than the other one (although there is still room for improvement; I would design it very differently, with settings for YIQ->RGB matrix, RGB->RGB matrix, deinterlace mode, YIQ bandwidth, etc). Still, I don't use a smart TV; I have the older one. Even a while ago I had used a computer monitor as the TV set; it is smaller than a TV set but I don't mind. It is also faster than a smart TV set which is too slow.

What I think should be want on the TV display is only: Digi-RGB video and analog audio input, IMIDI interface for control, picture setting, 4:3 aspect ratio (I dislike the wide screen), and a remote control with numbers. It shouldn't do more; the other features (including tuner) could be implemented in a VCR/DVD with FOSS, so that you can modify the program by yourself and adjust according to your intention.

About remotely disabling TV sets, will they use it to violate the right of first sale? (Is that even how it works? I don't really know)

> The numbers in this paper are a casually spectacular defense of the vaccines

Yes the paper is certainly not an attack on vaccines. The crucial implications of the findings in OP are especially relevant to public health policy:

1) There are diminishing returns to vaccinating individuals who have already acquired immunity through natural infection. The benefits are borderline insignificant. Therefore when faced with a limited supply of vaccines, vaccination strategies should be highly focused on immunologically naive or vulnerable individuals.

2) Compulsory mass vaccination mandates need to accommodate naturally immune individuals. If they do not, such mandates are not only wasteful, but are also effectively ordering unnecessary medical procedures which is a violation of medical ethics and likely a violation of constitutional rights to bodily integrity and informed consent.

3) If vaccine effectiveness at preventing infections continues to be undermined by viral evolution, new formulations will need to be tested and deployed. The mRNA delivery mechanism supports rapid iteration in that respect, but those efforts will still take months at minimum. Consequently it will likely be necessary to supplement mass vaccination with other viral elimination strategies, such as early treatment with multi-drug therapy based on existing and widely available medicines [1][2][3][4][5].

She sounds dedicated but hardly "great". In my mind great employees don't need to spend 100 hours working any week, let alone 7 months in a row. That's a death march. There's only 168 hours in a week.

My question is why? COVID is guaranteed to be endemic and we have to learn to live normal lives with a low background level of risk rather than adhere to safetyism. For most people, particularly those under 50, the risks from COVID are incredibly low. If you are healthy (not overweight, eating a nutritious diet) the risks are even lower. Having poor health practices puts you at greater risk of being hospitalized with COVID, which in turn makes you more infectious than the typical positive-testing person. Unvaccinated people may have natural immunity from antibodies they’ve developed, and with potentially better characteristics (related discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28307224). Vaccinated people are already very safe from serious illness. But both have the ability to transmit the virus and neither has a guaranteed level of safety.

Therefore, imposing restrictions seems arbitrary to me. Let the vaccinated do what they want and let the unvaccinated catch it. Those who are at severe risk, or just worried, need to protect themselves with extra precautions or self isolation. But overriding people’s right to medical autonomy and privacy for some poorly understood arbitrary middle ground of risk seems unnecessary and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The United States uses jus sanguinis and jus soli. So this would be relevant for strictly cases of naturalization, which are neither, I believe.

The paperwork you file as an American abroad for obtaining citizenship (jus sanguinis) through Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) has gotten more difficult over the years (it appears intentional) to trip up fallacious filings by making more mistakes. My most “favorite” memory: being stuck in a consular room at the embassy with my cellphone confiscated and being forced to enumerate all time intervals I was in the United States ever (lived or traveled into or via) for my entire life down to exact date accuracy for CRBA. Try doing that if — pre-pandemic — you had a lot of regular business travel.

This is the attitude anyone who cares about this stuff needs to adopt. Especially those with engineering, design, or documentation skills.

Now is the time to get the open alternatives shored up, and to start creating a viable and concise pathway and ecosystem that we can recommend to “non-techies” who are looking for an alternative.

That can only happen if we start using this stuff now, and commit to donating some time and effort to take the deficiencies we find in our own use and make them better.

It’s fine to vent, and I hope to see people continue to call big tech out. But putting on a more positive mindset, this is actually an amazing opportunity we have to start creating the change we want to see.
I’ve reviewed that link as well as the debate that they had on YouTube and I think you should apologize for wasting so much of my time. The guy hit his vape pen in the middle of the debate — I think that pretty much sums it up. He doesn’t know chemistry or biochemistry, but Paul clearly is very well educated medically. There isn’t a single argument this guy makes that stands up. And Paul isn’t a zealot by any stretch of the imagination. Not yielding to arguments that are demonstrably false is not zealotry… zealotry is what you are doing: not yielding to inconvenient yet incontrovertible facts. And by the way, nature agrees with me, not you.

>In retrospect, this might not have been a burnout.

I'll venture to suggest that this was actually boreout. The symptoms are the same as burnout and it feels very similar while also being perplexing because you know the situation isn't high stress. If anything the opposite - You're not being challenged and are stuck in a purgatory of (what feels like) repetitious, pointless time wasting.

I've experienced burnout, and more recently experienced boreout, and what the author describes sounds a lot like the latter.
Keep in mind that everything in Spain is much less expensive compared to the US. Especially in a place like Toledo, which has 20% unemployment. They are a family business, with just one guy working in the "factory", so probably minimal employee overhead. Material and tooling costs for making a sword are pretty cheap anyway, even in the US.

Toledo used to be famous for its sword makers, but now all the other shops just import cheap knock-offs from China. So that's why he is called the last master sword-maker.
Yes, I'd love to see a more robust approach to novelty decay rates (to make up a metric) in A/B testing, especially around engagement.

You'd think that would be of interest to the business to know that X "successful" intervention had a typical average lifetime of Y before reverting to the mean, for example.

Then again, there's the idea that competitive advantage for social networks is just finding enough novel interventions before the novelty of the platform itself is exhausted, and FB has no short supply of other platforms to milk in that regard.

A big issue for me is that Netflix now has so much content that everyone watching different things and there's no longer "the show" that you have to watch to talk about with your friends. Instead, there are a handful of good shows every year spread across all platforms and it's come to the point where if I'm just going to watch things on my own, I might as well just watch YouTube.
My dog (Aussie) is more than happy to catch a frisbee (backflipping along the way if need be), but still refuses to bring back a ball. I think simple retrieval can be too boring for such breeds, even with high value treats it's much more exciting for her to dash around the dog park herding the other dogs and leading parades than to just bring a ball back and forth.

I do see some collies who do simple retrieval at the park, but it requires their owners to be strict about the dog not playing with any other dogs and coming back immediately. Not a way I want to raise my pup.
