My apologies I should have prefaced it with "for others confused as to what incrementality is all I could find was ..."

It's a surprise to see a vendor have a clear explanation on their site however - and it's worth quoting i think

>>> Incrementality testing creates an experiment that systematically withholds media channel exposure to a representative subset of users (the control group) while maintaining normal media channel exposure to the broader user set (the test group). If the control group is both sizable enough to be statistically significant and selected at random such that they are broadly representative of the user base, then the media channel’s incremental contribution can be determined by the difference in business outcome (conversion, revenue, profitability, etc.) between the test and control groups.
There are a few things we can and must do immediately.

1) Build any big power plants that will work for 30 years with no carbon emissions.
If you're near equator or right on thermal vents, this may be renewable. Otherwise, build the darn nuclear fission plants post haste. We do not have 50 years to develop the alternative technologies. We barely have 15 to deploy all this.
(I'm counting 3.5 C increase as likely deadly.)
Close all fossil fuel plants. (You can have some for emergencies, just offline.)
No ifs, buts or whens.

This immediately makes electric cars and other transportation more useful and viable too.

Tax won't do, it would get passed on to users.
This includes oil and gas pipelines. They need to go.

2) Pour everything we can research wise into carbon capture or other means of cooling the planet, keeping water and food supplies rinning. Biotech, physics, chemistry, space technologies. It's too late to research clean energy sources at this point, though improvements in batteries and decentralized grid will be nice too.

Heck, halt ITER if it will get these researchers to work on immediately critical problems.
(Like say desalination or batteries even.)

3) Ban fossil fueled transportation. Tax won't do, it's too slow and weak. Reduce transportation if we can.
Note that this immediately kills big airplane operators. (Electric or renewable don't have the mileage - use boats or airships.)
To avoid the temptation, retrofit or scrap these immediately instead of shipping to poor countries.

4) Stop making stuff from hydrocarbons. There are alternative plastics that do not outgas or require methane.
Heck, growing feedstock for some will capture carbon.

5) Prepare agriculture and housing for extreme climate, depending on place this will be drought, cyclones, floods, desertification, even potentially freezing.
There are ways to deal with every such challenge.
For the love of all that is holy, stop cutting Amazon forests for beef farming. Provide incentives and alternatives, and if that does not work, outright ban it.
Ensure all farming is redone to minimize methane emissions.

6) Secure garbage disposal against methane outflow and water table contamination. Do not ship garbage thousands kilometers away to not be processed.

The vast majority of container breakouts are due to bugs in the control plane and not so much the kernel.

Main gripe is the limitation of one external display, so I'm hoping the larger MBPs about to be announced fix that. Anyway, don't let the smaller display put you off.

Not related to hollywood but I worked wildland fire for the local sheriff for a couple years and the 'mandated lunch breaks' were pretty much bullshit. MAYBE 15 minutes to stop and eat (often not even sitting down), then get back to work but had to report at least a half hour of unpaid downtime on the shift report at the end of the day. No wonder that area expertise is also hemorrhaging skilled workers. Luckily it was only part time for me but those guys are really getting fucked over between low pay and the ridiculous breaks

Elizabeth I (7 September 1533 – 24 March 1603)[a] was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death in 1603. Sometimes called the Virgin Queen, Gloriana or Good Queen Bess, Elizabeth was the last of the five monarchs of the House of Tudor.

To 21st-century eyes, [court astrologer John] Dee's activities straddle magic and modern science, but the distinction would have meant nothing to him. He was invited to lecture on Euclidean geometry at the University of Paris while still in his early twenties. He was an ardent promoter of mathematics, a respected astronomer and a leading expert in navigation, who trained many who would conduct England's voyages of discovery.

Meanwhile, he immersed himself in sorcery, astrology and Hermetic philosophy. Much effort in his last 30 years went into trying to commune with angels, so as to learn the universal language of creation and achieve a pre-apocalyptic unity of mankind.

Not seeing any suggestion of magic portals or ETs here. It is of historical interest that we've been able to verify the Mesoamerican origin of these mirrors, and the connection to an interesting figure like Dee makes a good headline. This isn't an earthshaking revelation, and I don't think it's being treated as such.

One reason is because medical and clinical training is tied to the outdated apprenticeship system. There is no Khan academy for medicine. Train doctors at scale like software engineers and this sort of problem will naturally go away. Decouple medical school admissions from residency. Residency is not that important if your focus is on research. The unfortunate state of things in the biomedical field is that without the magical M.D. title next to your name, you are not taken seriously as an subject domain expert.

It'll take a more extensive modification than I thought, though, because it does a RAM mirroring thing that is necessary for performance but that kills compatibility with at least the C64.

If you disable the RAM mirroring, all you need to make it compatible is to map the 6 IO pins to address $1. That "solves" the bank switching, but at the cost of killing performance totally as the chip will be starved for memory access most of the time.

Judging from his pictures, he's using a version of the Spartan 6 (XC6SLX9) that has 72KB on-chip RAM, though, so unless he's using any of the RAM for anything else he could still mirror both the 64KB RAM + the KERNAL and BASIC ROMs. But he'd also need to keep track of various VICII registers to know which areas to designate as a "IO areas" to pass through writes for, given the VICII can address memory "everywhere" for sprites, fonts and bitmap data depending on what you write to different registers. Since that can at any time it'd involve a lot of "fun" logic to flush data from the on-chip cache to the C64 memory if a register changes.

Dee was an interesting guy. For context as to the results of his, um, experiments:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enochian

In 1581, Dee mentioned in his personal journals that God had sent "good angels" to communicate directly with prophets. In 1582, Dee teamed up with the seer Edward Kelley, although Dee had used several other seers previously.[6] With Kelley's help as a scryer, Dee set out to establish lasting contact with the angels.
You're kind of freaking me out here man, did we actually read different articles? The article I read says flat out that the mirror was transported by ship and suggests no doubt whatsoever about that.

It also contains some speculation about why it might be that European occultists considered this obsidian mirror an artifact of occult merit, and offers a perfectly natural (not supernatural) explanations for why that might be: it was exotic, European occultists had a history of liking mirrors, and these particular European occultists may have heard stories about these mirrors being related to Aztec occult practices.
The entire point of my first comment was in response to this:

> There's a need for a change of tech stack in the company

If your company is changing entire tech direction, managers should at least be made aware because they will need to plan for time. If this is being run Rambo-style by a few devs going guns blazing for the rest of the company, it's a serious problem, not least because the change in direction might be misguided without a big picture.

Somewhere in the late 1980s to early 1990s, business culture changed to expect everyone to be able to type and use a computer for that.

The last time I worked for a company where the upper management couldn't type, it was 1996. They all had computers, but the CEO had all email printed out and put in a physical in-tray on his desk; he would scribble comments in red ink or, if the reply was extensive, dictate into a tape recorder for his secretary to type back into an email.
Performance marketing is essentially the only way most startup marketers can go. The reason is that they generally have 6 to 12 months to prove themselves as performance marketers. Generally the CEO has sold some insane growth model to the VCs. As a marketer, you do the math: $ growth required/ASP = number of deals. You get to your lead targets by reversing the funnel (Closed Won -> Opportunity -> Lead). And you see you need a sh*t-ton of leads to ever get close to hitting that number. And you need them quick because the number just bigger every quarter. So you can't even think about long-term approaches - you have to grab at tactics that you know can maybe generate the number of leads - even if you know in your heart-of-hearts that they won't generate anywhere near the number of opportunities.

This is all just my opinion and I'm sure there are better marketers than me that make this work, but this is what I've seen happen in too many VC-funded/backed companies. And it gets even harder when we're at the super levels of funding that we're now seeing. So if I'm a relatively small company (funded to $50m) that is spending $5m a year on marketing, and I'm competing against a company with $500m in funding and, say $100m on marketing, then it's even worse.

That's a red herring honestly, because you can't actually do much with that entity until you get a tax ID (from the IRS) and a bank account (where KYC is very tight). The point being that from a tax standpoint these "anonymous" companies are pretty useless. They can however obfuscate ownership of assets.

Example: sure you can transfer your house into South Dakota LLC, and yes when someone looks up the ownership in records, they won't be able to see who owns that house, but there is no tax being avoided.

Did it really belong to John Dee? Wikipedia casts doubt:

Dee's Speculum or Mirror (an obsidian Aztec cult object in the shape of a hand-mirror, brought to Europe in the late 1520s), which was subsequently owned by Horace Walpole.[68] This was first attributed to Dee by Walpole. Lord Frederick Campbell had brought "a round piece of shining black marble in a leathern case" to Walpole in an attempt to ascertain its provenance. Walpole said he responded saying, "Oh, Lord, I am the only man in England that can tell you! It is Dr. Dee's black stone". However, there is no explicit reference to the mirror in any of Dee's surviving writings.

I do understand why people are mad at bezos. However, the way I see it is that the government gave bezos and others the ability to act like this.

When slavery was legal, were the individual plantation owners terrible? Yes. However, it was the lack of government protections that allowed them to continue operating. Trying to draw the distinction between bezos and other billionaires feels like trying to compare one slave owner to the next and hoping that somehow that condemnation would make them grow a conscience.

Slavery didn't end in the US because abolitionists condemned slave owners. It ended because it was made illegal through the force of law (and in the end, a civil war).

Most productions started up in August 2020 with strict Covid protocols; personally I've had 1 week off since then. Crews have been doing full days, with masks. Normal work under harder conditions.

They finally offered 10hr turn around after we voted to strike; and its with strings. They cant even give an hour for sleep. Ive done the 14-17hr days, with 9hr turn around, and I live 1hr 20min from set, so thats 6hrs personal time a day to eat and sleep.

As for lunch, many shows do have a 30 min lunch, but the flow works out that not everyone gets an equal lunch, some have responsibilities that require them back on set before the others. Production will not wait on one person to eat. Also 30 minutes in a 16 hour day isnt much anyway
