The old joke about the difference between a used car salesman and a computer salesman comes to mind. ("...the used car salesman actually knows when he is lying to you!")

I'm not sure what legal basis there could be for anti-incompetence laws for web stores, nor how easily they might be passed. It'd likely have to be federal law, in the U.S. (At the state level, there are some nice, simple laws about in-store goods where the shelf says "Price $X", the check-out scanner say "Price $Y", and $Y > $X...)

My approach is mostly to have a long memory, and loose tongue, about such things. And to mostly shop at places considerably more competent and expensive than Target or Walmart.
I'm fully on team spooky admin - however on my latest project, I've been loving being on the free tier of tools like vercel, which deploys from git commit, and firebase, which is mostly maintenance free. That really reduces the amount of devops in my day.
> power plugs with 16A [...] at 230V they can deliver 3600W/4600W

That makes me a bit sad. We used to have a mess of plugs and sockets, with older plugs being either two round non-insulated pins or two equal-sized flat pins (sockets that could fit both kinds were not uncommon, but sockets which could fit only one kind were also not uncommon), and a Y with three flat pins for air conditioners, with NEMA 5-15 also being popular for computers (and we had sockets which could fit both the NEMA 5-15 "computer plug" and the other two types). We switched the whole country to a really neat new plug type (NBR 14136, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBR_14136 for a few pictures), but unfortunately it's only 10A (or 20A, but that's mostly for higher-power appliances like air conditioners; nearly all sockets are going to be the 10A variant, even though the 20A socket is designed to work fine with 10A plugs).

Our voltage can be either 127V or 220V depending on which city you live in (yeah, both voltages use the same plug, but that was already the case even with the older plugs), and on how your building is wired (even in places with 127V you can get 220V by wiring phase-phase instead of phase-neutral), so it's not unusual to be limited to 10A at 127V which is around 1200W only.
That is a fair consideration. And part of what I was thinking about when I suggested that gRPC needs a slimmed-down alternative.

I think that part of the reason for weaker support on languages that Google doesn't personally maintain is that the gRPC protocol and tooling itself seems to be so technically complex that it's not really amenable to community support.

And I really don't think all that complexity is necessary. For example, in my own testing I found that the streaming protocol is generally not worth the extra hassle. Just getting rid of that would probably reduce the implementation cost considerably, and also eliminate the reason why client-side code can't speak gRPC.

I have to say, I've been reading these comments who love or hate ML, treating them as just another internet argument

As someone who was following the public hype but never actually saw what they released. This is absolutely completely terrible. The promises they made when they raised half a billion dollars 7 years ago as a stealth company backed by tech geniuses.

If this is what they have today, what were they showing investors 7 years ago? and why did investors think this is going to revolutionize the world?
>LUV has consistently, for 40+ years, optimized its culture over profits

Something has changed in the last 10 years - the last five in particular. I obtained my frequent flyer number from them in 1985 and have flown them hundreds, if not thousands of time so yeah, I have a LOT of experience to draw from.

A great overview of how they have optimized to the extreme to their detriment is by Juan Browne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO39nIcuPhQ

If HK were still alive I sincerely doubt they would be operating the way they are today :(

Luckily I'm getting ready to move back to the west coast and shouldn't have to fly regularly again - thank god!
While I sort of agree that machine learning will end up as an experimental science, it's way, way too early to say whether the theory relating deep learning to kernel methods (e.g. Neural Tangent Kernels) will be useful or not.

As an example, just last week a (huge) paper [1] was put on arXiv that used these theoretical methods to analyze a bunch of common architecture building blocks (skip connections, normalization, etc), and then applied their theoretical findings to figure out how to train Resnet like models in similar training time without these seemingly "required" building blocks.

Deep Learning is still in its infancy in many ways, and this type of research takes time, slowly building on successive results.

I've never understood why Hirohito was kept in-place by McArthur and the USA (the OP touches on this only briefly).

The institution of Emperor is closely tied-up with rightwing Japanese nationalism, whatever the imperial flavour-du-jour is. I fear and dislike all rightwing nationalism. But an "emperor" is a byword for invading and dominating your geographical neighbours. An emperor that is also a god seems like a particularly bad idea.
As someone who raised cows and now routinely buys beef directly from the rancher—care to explain this? Unless you are trying to say that ag-use land tax credits are subsidization?

Edit: OK, I saw the article you linked. I guess in more rural areas this is something we never saw: I've known people who are smaller produces of beef/pork and never saw a dime of this money yet I pay less per pound than most people do in the store.
No, burgers would cost $45 because cattle farming would be unsubsidized and very expensive. It wouldn't just be a random $40 tax on burgers, that's obviously counterproductive.
Not building NS2 has nothing to do with this crisis in any way. The gas can be readily transported through existing pipelines just as it has been for decades.

If you're saying that Putin wants to strong-arm the west by not providing enough gas at normal prices until NS2 is approved, then yeah that makes sense. But this wouldn't be because of NS2, it's because of Putin.
A similar code generator for CRC algorithms is https://pycrc.org/ . I don't know enough to compare the two, but one difference that I notice is that pycrc supports 4-bit lookup tables, where as crcany does not seem to.

A 4-bit lookup table consumes only 16 elements instead of 256 elements, so for example, the CRC32 table consumes only 64 bytes instead of 1024 bytes. This can be very helpful in microcontroller environments with limited flash memory. On the 32-bit microcontrollers that I have tested (SAMD21, STM32, ESP8266, ESP32, Teensy 3.2), using the 4-bit lookup table is ~4X faster than the bit-by-bit algorithm, but only ~2X slower than the byte-by-byte algorithm, so it can be a good compromise between memory and speed.
This is great when you can access the book. Great for info I don't want in my head. There is a cost to this however. I feel like the brain has a few slots for temporary into. And those slots are also needed for problem solving(holding temporary mental models and theory's to test). It works, and is faster for the learning process, I just feel it's slower an the application side.
Also I'm told there's a giant nuclear reactor in the sky we might learn how to tap someday. Once we get done with the much easier nuclear buildout, of course.
Technical sales.

It's not easy to find people who are personable but can also explain the underlying tech clearly to potential customers... and the best tech in the world isn't with a hill of beans if it isn't being used by sutomers.

I can’t see any other future than the working class only having a option of artificial meat.

The money to be made by completely owning all meat that goes through fast food and low budget food is too great that someone’s going to collude with government to make it happen.

The people who make it happen will definitely still be eating steak though. If you want to see the future, look at how little the 2020 travel restrictions affected the rich. Could tell the rich people I know were getting a perverse kick out of traveling last year using loopholes when the rest of us were denied.
The alternatives market is going to be quite something in the coming decades. Given that HN thread from several weeks back where it was clear that lab-grown meat isn't going to happen any time soon, I'll be curious about alternatives that aren't gross processed frankensteins like the current offerings.

No, the high cost would start with the cattle ranchers. And since the consumer simply would not pay $45/burger, the demand would fall to almost nothing. Cattle ranchers would decide it wasn't worth doing.
well the pricing doesn't makes sense atm if we compare the subsidies received by animal industry. Also I think pricing would be comparable if plant based industry enjoys the same amount of subsidiary.

Some of the laws we have in Australia are quite crazy. They are getting abused now or have been implemented with such little judicial oversight that there is no need to abuse them.
No, because that's the quoted increase in price assuming the same profit as today. That is, that's the actual production cost of the meat give or take a few percent. Today much of that production cost is payed by the US government or local state governments through subsidies, water rights etc.

Note: i have no idea if the $45 is realistic, but the principle is there - much of the production cost of meat is payed by the state. The price of meat would increase if this practice stopped because without any increase in profits.
I believe the implication is that if burgers cost $45 there would be a lot less demand. Its not like McDonalds would suddenly have 10x revenue from $45 Big Macs.
Guilty of this. And I encourage my team to do it too. You need to align incentives.

The doing it in secret part is a far bigger problem.
Plant production is also heavily subsidized in the US [1], so I don't see how this is relevant.

In much of Asia, loyalty is rewarded and promoted over merit. Often that loyalty is tested in some way. The easiest test is to treat someone terribly, e.g. long hours, abusive words, low pay, and see if they remain loyal. It's not necessarily about race, but many people unfamiliar with the culture may feel unfairly targeted or refuse to play this game.

I have a "trick".
My native language is not english. 99.9% of what i read is in english. Comprehension for me is also slow when just reading(at least once).

Memory, as i found out, works if you connect new knowledge to existing knowledge. Usually, when i read and understand something to the point of the "aha" moment is not sufficient. Just understanding something in that moment is not enough for storing in long term memory.

Here is the trick part: when i read and want to comprehend and memorise, i do the following:

1. Read a paragraph/piece in english
2. Get to the aha moment by re-reading until it makes a narrative in your head
3. Once i have the narrative, i translate it to my native language and write it down(pen and paper > keyboard)

It's not fast, but there are many processes involved here that get to long term memory:

1. first reading - getting the context of the material
2. getting to the aha moment - means it's connected to something, and the new knowledge somehow filled the gap
3. when i get to the narrative part, i can make a story and tell it to myself, in my own head "this is because of that etc"
4. #3 is not sufficient, so i take a step further and process it by translating it - further cementing the "connecting to old knowledge" process
5. #4 is also not sufficient, as the translation is not always clear when trying to explain it to someone else. here is where the longhand writing comes into play - writing is expressing your thoughts clearly. when this is done, i already went through a lot of phases of processing, that i can say i fully understand something without any rote memorisation: i can just use whatever old knowledge i have to recreate new knowledge and to assemble it based on the listener's (perceived) capabilities of understanding.

I know this works, because i have all the processes written by hand, in a notebook. Everything i explained here is a narrative that i constructed on the spot to explain my process. Keep in mind that this whole process of comprehension, memory, new knowledge and handwriting was new to me ±1 year ago.

Not sure this helps you directly but indirectly it should be able to guide you into figuring out what works best in your context.

No, for a couple reasons. The way a burger would get to its true cost is by imposing true costs upstream. If cattle ranchers actually had to pay true costs, their profits wouldn't be higher. Indeed, a $45 burger would cause a drastic fall in hamburger demand, causing a net decrease in ranchers.
This is a great idea in theory. Although per usual the rubber hits the road when people need to find the physical item. If the stores aren’t organized or the employees don’t know where things are - you end up with a situation where now everyone is at the mercy of what the computers tell them.

I’ve had a few experiences where the site tells me something is stocked but an hour later I leave without what I came for.
I think the point is that $45 is a made up number to push a point. An unsubsidized burger would obviously not cost $45.

Edit: OP clarified with a source below that it would be closer to $15

> We already established that you do not agree with critical social justice that identity groups such as race has salience...

This is rather stronger than what I wrote. I don't think that race is coherent in the sense that there is the relationship between observable hereditable traits and the psychology and morality of the individual that racist intellectuals require. However, if you drop the dodgy biology, clearly ethnicity matters a great deal to how people find their way into or find themselves excluded from groups, what ethnicities we take there to be and what we make of them has been profoundly influenced by the debunked race theories of yesteryear.

In short, race does matter, unfortunately.
Does Google's support service work?
I have been sending requests to ask Google to remove my contact number that is appearing on a bank's search results. Everyday I receive calls from bank customers who think that I'm a bank employee. The website that Google used to get the contact number is not an official website for the bank but for a Partnership project I worked with the bank for which I was a contact person. The phone number on the the website was changed two months ago and requests to change the number through Google's procedures has yielded nothing despite multiple attempts.
I mean... When you buy an Apple you also don't get an apple but instead get a phone. :P
It is probably also worth noting that while this sort of defense in depth provides the strongest protection, the risk involved with the first infection probably means that you are better off in trusting the vaccine. Infection prior to vaccination may provide a stronger immune response, but only if you survive the infection.
Oh. Oh no.

I hope you've at least had exposure to recent, proper .NET code. Don't judge the platform based on that project.
Is “modern” a technical term in biology/palaeontology, or is it just meant in the ordinary sense? Asking because I don’t actually know. In history, “modern” is a technical term - it refers to the period beginning in 1500 (approximately) - which is a bit different from the everyday meaning, the average person would probably not call the 1500s “modern”.
It's a cluster of factors - the primary one being a lack of a bench of backup pilots - compounded by layoffs during COVID and now an inability to ramp up training to get pilots re-certified and re-hired: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO39nIcuPhQ

COVID vaccine shenanigans with a large chunk of the workforce near retirement age and just saying "fuck your mandate, I'll retire early" is just the cherry on top.

> > centralizing a currently decentralized network onto a blockchain controlled by a few major players

> No, the basic idea is simply decentralization of trust. I do not know what specific blockchain you are refering to.

All of them? If I host a regular web app, I have a choice of thousands of hosting providers around the world and can self host, with the primary constraints being low-level network issues (e.g. sending spam will get you black-listed). If I use a blockchain I still have the network level concerns but am also ceding control at a higher level to a much smaller, far less experienced community dominated by a few major players. If I adopt someone's distributed app framework on top of that, I'm further reducing my choices and taking on support responsibilities for their decisions when those impact things like performance, security, abuse management, etc.

> I'm pushing that we come together to develop novel systems that fundamentally change how governments and human collaboration in general work. Speculative markets do not interest me.

I'm not opposed to that but the current blockchain hypefest has been a bunch of people pushing technology which cannot work to build those systems. That's why the rhetoric always boils down to the “buy in now or you'll wish you had later” needed by people who have already bought in and are worried about maintaining their ability to cash out. If they were building something novel, you'd know about it because they'd be showing new things which couldn't be done with existing technologies.

Take a look at incremental reading -- the big app in this space is supermemo, but there are plugins for Anki (another app) that might make it work. Incremental reading is great because aside from tackling remembering things you've read, it also helps schedule what you're reading, so each day you have a 'session' and then what you read is decided by the program.
