Vitamin D deficiency is generally less a dietary thing and more related to UV exposure. In large parts of the world, most people don't get all that much UV exposure, particularly during the winter. So the relevant lifestyle change if you live somewhere like northern Europe or Canada would be moving to Spain, not changing diet. Most people will find taking a supplement less hassle.

> all the tobacco companies did was shift their business into providing alternatives to cigarettes. But they're still made from nicotine.

Isn't this okay? Asking genuinely -- I haven't followed this one way or the other. But my understanding was that the health problems were mostly caused by the smoke. Does nicotine itself cause problems when delivered via gum or vape or whatever?

Certainly the current ingestion methods make it easier on those of us standing around not consuming them, compared to clouds of smoke. Which is a plus for me.
Intel Xeons for servers have a few features outside the CPU that AMD Epyc are lacking for now, e.g. the ability to transfer data directly between the network interface cards and the CPU cache.

These features are usually exploited by high-performance networking applications and they can provide superior performance on Intel, even if the Intel CPUs are inferior.

As long as the application is dominated by the data transfers, such extra features of the Intel uncore can provide superior performance, but when the application needs heavy processing on the cores, the low energy efficiency of the Intel Ice Lake Server or older Xeons allows Epyc to deliver better results.

Yes. There may be regulation that constraints Facebook but you can be sure that its competition will be hit harder.

This is the calculation they are making and it is probably correct.

> eventually you hit a wall and have to keep investing larger and larger amounts of people or computing resources to get continued returns.

That's certainly my impression. I'm not a professional Python programmer, though I have used it in a few projects that went to prod. I really want to like Python, and it is really nice for some quick one-offs. However, in my project, where the codebase was 30-40% Python, I estimate that 80-90% of bugs and time spent were in Python. The other side of things was more or less write once, never revisit.
As a consumer, I want ease of use and safety.

I don’t want to be bothered with a menu in-app on if I want to pay through Apple Pay or through PayPal or some other proprietary custom service. I just want to pay using the cards I have already added onto my phone’s wallet. Who handles the transaction behinds the scene is of no importance to me. The important thing is that it is handled.

I don’t want the app to bounce me out into Safari where I login to another service just to pay. I don’t want the app to open an in-app browser for me to enter my credit card information to pay.

I want a standardized, system-level integrated payment screen like what iOS currently does. I want it to be standardized and system-level integrated because I don’t want to have to think if the website or app is launching me to a phishing or scam page. I want this screen to tell me clearly how much I owe, who I owe it to, and let me choose how to pay for it by selecting one of the cards I’ve added to my wallet or an option to pay one-time with a card (that doesn’t get saved to the wallet) ad hoc.

I don’t care if the payment goes through Apple Pay, or Stripe, or Walmart Pay, or whatever. If Walmart is insistent on processing payments through Walmart Pay, then I want to just simply scan my phone’s NFC wallet and have Walmart Pay take money from the default credit card I have attached to my wallet app.
Framing a picture properly seems to be horrifically expensive. A good-quality print costing EU50 (e.g.) costs EU150 to frame - if you're lucky.

>More importantly than this, we need to discuss why major news outlets were parroting government propaganda that shortages and inflation were transitory, when they were obviously not.

Because that's what they do. They define reality.

When it comes time to convince people that the shortages and inflation are normal and will always be there (and were always there in a "we've always been at war with Eurasia") way, they'll do just that.

>This is a far cry from the critical reporting of the 2016-2020 years.

2016-2020 didn't have critical reporting either. It had hysterical partisan crap, with a big bias against Trump with ridiculous stories proped up to inifinity because it made good bucks (and because Trump was championed by middle/working class/flyover state people - basically everything esteemed and hip journalists, academics, and pundits on the upper middle class - or aspiring to be there - despise).

The same partisan bias proped up Biden (a long-time lame "professional politician", forever an insignificant mediocrity, and now barely functional due to age, that was touted as some kind of political messiah by the media).
There has been endless coverage of the supply side of current economic weirdness affecting the world, but scant coverage of the demand side. Yet if this blog post[0] that was discussed here a couple of weeks ago is to be believed spending on goods in the US shot up by 20% this year. It seems to me that even if global supply chains were working flat out and in perfect order we would still see huge disruptions given a shock to demand of that magnitude. I would love to see more detailed reporting from a knowledgeable source on this.

No, I'm with you on that. There has also been a massive uptick in extremely polarized political statements and beliefs, as well. Not sure why.
While there are problems with the use of fossil fuels, the oil industry and what we learned to build from the energy and materials it provided changed the world for the better - far more so than anything related to computers or the internet (and that is a very high bar indeed). You can sit here and complain (in a forum that would not exist if it wasn't for what you complain about) in relative comfort if you like, but several past generations were very happy to be able to eat and raise their children. They were happy to be able to store their food and heat/light their homes etc, etc, etc.

Your division mentality is just irresponsibility. Why is the pay gap between C-suite and workers?

Because it is not easy to hire C-suite executives who makes careful decisions to steer the company in the right direction. Companies are subject to profit and losses. Its not static. Do you know how many round of interviews there are to hire C-suite? >16 interviews over a period of 3-6 months.

Workers are in abundance competing for the same role. If I were hiring between 100 workers, everyone put our their bid of the salary, I would be looking for best offer and best quality. That is in-fact a reality of the free market.

There is nothing stopping you from creating your own company and paying out your workers what you think is fair. I even encourage you to do just that. But to complain that all rich band together and create this working class and pay them low-wages is simply irresponsible of yourself.

If your education has misled you I am sorry.
It's not even technically correct. Any employee who doesn't want to return has the option to request full time remote work.
>parroting government propaganda that shortages and inflation were transitory

Are you claiming these shortages are permanent? I see no evidence of that, since already things which were scarce or costly have returned (wood, toilet paper, etc.).

It's still more likely these shortages will subside as workers return (a decent amount of the shortages are Delta shutting down production lines).

If someone shares that they installed a bidet, I thinking asking which model is a pretty reasonable followup.
I also told a recruiter that FB would be the last company I would ever work for - about 3 years ago. They stopped. Then about 2-3 months ago they renewed their attempts. I am guessing someone I know got hired and gave them my contact details again.

If you think the CBC is "far left," then you don't actually know what "far left" really is. CBC is, at most, left of center. I'm open to having my mind changed if you can provide, for example, an instance of the CBC advocating workers seizing the means of production.
You spend 5 figures daily on Facebook and didn't notice any drop in performance when the site was gone for half the day?

Well you can't deny that options are being taken away for a portion of citizens. I stopped doing more than the minimum match into my 401K a long time ago because I could no longer trust that in 30, 40, 50 years nobody wouldn't have come after it as an easy target. It's kind of like gun control (which isn't a good analogy since it's too politically charged) - you're pointing at one restriction and saying "hey, it's not the end of the world, you can still own guns, this probably doesn't even affect you personally", but then a new restriction, law, permit, tax, ruling, regulation, is passed every 6 months from that point on every year for decades on end, every time pointing to the change as just a small little thing that probably only affects a small portion of people. Every time gaining more and more precedence for more restrictions and overall adding them all up having a much more massive impact than just a small change that only affects certain people.
This is my experience as well (but not at a FAANG). You can do things quickly in Python and it is a joy to write, but down the road (as you grow), you will regret it and find yourself re-writing it.
Let's take YouTube Premium as an example to set a baseline. About 3% of users convert (50M vs 1.5B), for basically the same benefit.

Firefox starts with 200M users now and if 3% get Pro that is 6M users paying $5/month (?) for $30M/month and $360M/year in revenue. That is almost exactly that same as what Firefox makes from Google. The added benefit is that this change could transition it into a user-centric mindset.

Do you agree with the math?

> If Apple allows external IAP, but _also_ requires strict dispute resolution and simple subscription cancellation, that would probably be deemed anticompetitive as well, even though it's thoroughly pro-consumer.

Good! Usual digital nomad spots are getting too crowded. I welcomed covid initially, it normalised remote work. But it drives cost of nice places too high.
The interpreter that breaks the backward compatibility makes that code run infinitely slower (i.e. it does not run at all) instead of running faster.

And it doesn't matter if the compatibility was broken for some thing you actually care about: if your code can't run at all until the broken third-party dependency is fixed by its maintainer, you simply won't upgrade, will you?
Presumably people earning over 150k don't waste that much time on an website like FB.
If you look at from Apple’s persepctive, why should it take competition on top of their platform to shake out what is best for the user if they believe they are doing right by the user themselves?

The fundamental issue here is that developers, at scale, cannot be trusted. You can trust specific ones to do the right thing but you can’t trust them all. Apple sees themselves as responsible for protecting all of their customers from this reality. Some call them “gatekeepers”. The example here is sharing an email address with developers. There are other examples like “no background processes”. Developers hate this becuase they see _themselves_ as trustworthy but the reality still stands: developers at scale cannot be trusted to do the right thing.

Now let me add my opinion on this: Should we have a platform that allows consumers to make a single choice ie) choose Apple, and by proxy never needs to trust developers at scale? Absolutely. Many people, especially developers, would rather trade some developer flexibility (multiple payment processors) and push some responsibility onto Apple’s users to continue making an opt-in choice for Apple. I choose them for my phone. I choose them again for in-app purchases. Continue making choices in support of Apple for each layer of the system. I am not really sure what this buys the consumer. What is Apple blocking from you by forcing you to make that choice once, and then being forced to “never trust developers at scale” for the remainder of being an iPhone customer? Is it blocking “innovation”? Some people think that. I don’t see it. I see a company that pushes the hardware envelope with sensors, battery, operating system, etc, and works hard to give developers access to THOSE things. Maybe not a users email address, but is that really innovation anyway? I looked at this Paddle payment processor and they have some things like “pause subscription”. Is pause really an innovation that is being blocked by only using Apple’s system? Google has supported pause for a long time. Users want it, but to developers really want users pausing their subs? probably not.
This is an issue with latency, not throughput. Our supply chain is actually running at considerably higher throughput than we ever have before. The ports provide numbers for activity on their websites - Long Beach and Oakland are both operating at 30% higher capacity than they were pre-pandemic.

What has changed is the queues and the pricing. The shortages we are feeling are the gaps that have surfaced between when retailers trigger reorders and when they are replenished. They grew accustomed to being able to do that just-in-time as forecasted inventory went to 0, but the added delays have made this much harder.

Additionally, the shipping prices have made many things simply uneconomic to ship. I saw an analysis on the difference in cost recently for a grill: prior to the pandemic, shipping from China to LA contributed $5 to its price, with shipping costs up 8x, that's now $40. Rather than fulfill orders at negative margins, many people are simply waiting for lower prices after the holidays. It's not that they're being held up in transit, these things aren't being shipped to begin with.
At high request volumes there would be a per-operation charges, so not exactly free.

Backblaze (the consumer thing, not B2) has always had unlimited backups, and still does. One of their execs (Brian) posted a graph showing a backup space utilization histogram for all customers in 2018. The first few data points are:

30% use <100GB
15% use <200GB
9% use <300GB
...

So ~55% of their customers are using <300GB and paying $6/mo. On B2, their cloud storage product, $6 will buy 1.2TB of storage. Way more than half of their unlimited customers are paying 4x more for unlimited storage than they would if they paid for metered storage.

Interestingly, on that same histogram, are the last 2 customers: one using 293TB and one using 430TB. While IMO they are misusing the service, they are also an extreme minority. If that last guy was paying for that space with B2, it would cost $2150/month. Backblaze has said they just don't care. Now if it were half their users doing it, of course they would.

I can tell you one thing: R2 with free bandwidth is going to be a gift for the porn industry!
> So, if we do shift manufacturing back, we need to either be cool with shit-tons of pollution, or be searching desperately, now, for solutions to that pollution.

If we want to bring manufacturing back, and we want to continue to with today's low prices, then we need to be cool with pollution.

Dealing with byproducts can definitely be done. It just has costs and those costs have to be passed to the consumer in way way or another.

And that's true regardless of the factory's physical location. It's just a lot easier for Americans to ignore when it's out of their sight.

LVGL is designed to work without direct access to a frame buffer as is the case with SPI displays. You can use smaller draw buffers and it will render regions of the screen in pieces as they are updated.
That's not correct. Privacy extensions are supported and on by default in Windows, macOS, mobile stuff and on generally in desktop Linux setups. Not sure what the author is running as they claim it's off by default in Ubuntu, as that's contrary to my experience.

The result speaks for itself. There isn't much understanding to do at this moment. If this group wants to throw themselves off the cliff, I am not willing to go with them.
Most of modern development doesn't square with the realities of resource extraction and manufacturing long term either.

It just had a lucky run with discovering hundreds of millions of years of stored fossil fuels to propel its development.

Yeah, Apple only looks pro-Consumer because they're still in the business of selling software, hardware, and software services to consumers. Their competition is all funded by corporate advertising.

It's not a matter of Apple being a positive force for consumers or customers. They're simply the most magnanimous blackguard.

That's just a strawman. MMT just means that the government runs its own bank and will never run out of money. Regarding inflation, with MMT you can buy anything that the economy can produce, that's it.
"If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem."

Technically you're correct. If only a handful of employees migrated, they could probably be let go pretty easily. No skin off Facebook's back.

Now if hundreds or thousands of employees migrated, Facebook needs to make a decision whether enforcing the RTO or not will hurt them more. Regardless of technicalities, demanding a non-significant percentage of your workforce to uproot their lives is not an easy ask (or great look).

I read that more as a theoretical - how would you feel if your political leanings were suddenly suppressed everywhere facebook touches?

I don't think there's a win here for facebook as it currently stands. They can't let unfettered bullshit keep happening, and they can't truly moderate without becoming arbiters of some truth they've decided.

When they are the largest company in this space, and they apply their moral compass, I guess you're just assuming that moral compass points to where you want to go?
Yeah, that's my point; it's easy to say you want to "move quick and break shit", people think you're cool as you say it, but it's not really honest. Managers (somewhat understandably) do not want uncertainty, and experimentation (almost by definition) leads to uncertainty.
That's fair. But we're not talking about nuclear vs fossil fuels. Nuclear is obviously better than anything carbon.

The debate is nuclear vs solar, wind, and hydro and how the case for nuclear is framed as "ack-chually, nuclear is better than renewables and would cost less if only those damned tree-hugging libs would get over their irrational fears"
Let me "parrot" other commenters and say that I've never even heard of this "new economics" you're talking about, and I check mainstream news pretty regularly, so I'm not sure what you are talking about.

Also, let's be fair, most of the "critical reporting" under Trump was not "The administration forecasts x% economic growth, but experts disagree" variety, it was more like "Wait, did the president just tell people to drink bleach, or was it supposed to be a joke, in which case which part was a joke and which wasn't?" variety.
The joke here is that the word "novel" in grant applications has become canon, for many well funded labs.

If you chase novel ideas, you have to chase novel people and this costs, a lot. Can you compare the measured quantitative bias in a field with a qualitative assessment of the scientists?
