>They were consultants selling methodologies, and came up with something that was so poorly defined and difficult to implement that it gave them consulting jobs for life

The dark truth behind Agile's origins. You simply cannot implement anything based on what they had written since nothing was defined concretely; everything was a platitude.

Here’s a TLDR of cardiac-related deaths in the study:

Arteriosclerosis: 2 vax, 0 unvax

Cardiac arrest: 4 vax, 1 unvax

Cardiac failure: 1 vax, 0 unvax

Hemorrhagic stroke: 0 vax, 1 unvax

As you said, no myocarditis (my bad), but that’s a well-known side effect for younger people, which this study does not target.

Simple digestable examples that show off power is kind of a cart before horse situation. However, I will try to feed your curiosity.

One simple example I can describe is from the book Practical Common Lisp and it is talked about to some degree in the SICP videos. The idea of the environment being captured as well as what it points to is a big idea. At the risk of not getting it explained 100% to everyone's satisfaction I would suggest reading about it.

I also would suggest the problem of the N queens board. It is a pretty good starting point into how this problem can be solved in lisp. I suggest the MIT SICP lecture on it because it is well paced and interesting. Also it shows off some, for the time, advanced language features.

Another good read is Norvig's PAIP book that you can read on Github. Lots of problems you can jump to with pretty good explanation in my opinion.

I'm sure there are more interesting things I could point to. However, I still consider a read of Practical Common Lisp a good starting point. The book is fairly well paced and not bogged down with learn all the language first-isms. Also, the SICP videos are pretty good to watch. I hope these points are helpful to you.

They're very different from migraines (which I had as a kid), in that there's no visual effects or nausea, and seem to be more localised and less "systemic". I'm always trying to work on my sleep, with very little success overall. I've never tried any of the serious sleeping pills, they seem too risky; but a combination of restavit (an antihystamine) and melatonin can get me to sleep pretty reliably, the problem becomes that it sometimes leaves me a bit too slow and stupid in the mornings.
6 grand new for something street-legal, 70mph capable, with enough range for me to get to town and back, that's magically always full of energy whenever I'm ready to leave home, does not seem like a bad deal at all.

I used to ride sportbikes quite a lot in decades past, even rode cross-country a number of times. Putting gas in a motorcycle alone is nuisance enough for me to be willing to pay good money to never have to do again if I wanted to commute to/from town on two wheels. But I'd probably wait to pick one up on the used market, since I never buy any vehicles new.

However, sharing roads with today's drivers on two wheels is a completely different problem that will likely prevent me from getting one of these. Though the Enduro model might make a good fit for my off-road play at the desert cabin, and I could put up some solar panels to keep it charged.

Agreed. This is not my argument!
When I've looked at specs for electric motorcycles, charging was limited to 1.5-3 kW on AC.

It would be nice to have car-like >7 kW charging on an efficient bike, because then all those random J1772 plugs could be used for point-to-point travel.

(That said, I've never ridden a motorcycle because I'd rather not die.)

Depends on what you mean by that, but if it's about getting lower prices, the consumer probably "lost" more than a decade ago.

I don't have an opinion on how freshly published best-sellers should be sold, to me it's the same as new movies going into theaters...I personally don't care and will wait for the home/digital version. It's not like it will rot in place.

Amazon can still lower price on old books if they really want to. All in all it's about dirty plays between (big) dirty players, and regulators are mostly running around closing loopholes.

Yes, that should be preventable. The reason we end up trusating the client to a degree is that we want a client-side hit to be registered as a hit. Even if you were to simulate the client on the server, i am not sure this is preventable in general.

Sure, with a huge hill that cannot move, its impossible. But what if instead of a hill, the player is shooting through a truck that moves?

Well, as the server you know you sent the vehicles location to the client at v1, v2, v3... And you know the player was at p1 when he shot. But you dont know at what time the truck crossed between the player and his victim because that depends on when the client received it. You dont even know IF he received it because you sent it by UDP. So maybe the client dropped the v2 packet.

And then remember that the client can rewind history. Basically he can report he did something 100ms ago and the server has no way to distinguish that from a cheat or from lag.

From a practical sense, i think devs are faced with a tricky situation: hacks are always possible. Even if you have perfect simulation, it doesn't prevent aim bots because those are theoretically possible. On top of that, you have to trust the client to some degree because of lag compensation. And running physics simulations server side might not be practical.

So I think it's easy as a dev to sort of give up and try to solve it some other way. Maybe you just hope that anyone doing something this egregious will be banned manually.

The second reason is that you dont want to instantly ban players because it lets the cheaters know exactly the mechanics that caught them. This is why there is always a delay before the real ban happens. Of ourse the side effect is that obliviously cheating players have to be tolerated for a bit before the ban hammer comes down.
That show has come the closest in the post-GOT world of GOT-level political intrigue.
No, royalties are objectively not part of the marginal cost, by definition. Marginal cost refers to things that must be paid for before the thing is made. This isn't a "should," it's essentially a principle of "the science of economics" (which isn't always much of a science, but this one holds up pretty well over time.)

The one that doesn't is the bit about "how much value they derive from it." All sorts of real-life experimentation/psychology, etc shows that people don't much know or understand or generally follow this thing of "a person develops a sense of how much something is worth to them and makes purchases accordingly," I mean, a moment's thought reveals that if this were true, advertising (and perhaps, google and facebook et als entire business models) wouldn't exist.

I have idiosyncratic music preferences like you, but we much don't matter.

One things for certain, if there was an alternative that worked, was cheap to produce, non-copyrightable, and allowed to compete in the competitive marketplace, these pharma bros wouldn't be the billionaires they are today.

Too bad such an alternative doesn't exist, or, if it somehow did, too bad its reputation was destroyed by capitalistic interests.

It’s great until someone stops making so much money, or you get kids and some of lifes harder issues (or mental illness) come up and the friction points aren’t something you can just spend your way out of anymore.

Then the money can get used as a weapon to maximize suffering, and yikes.
Ah ok, i thought you were generalizing that to all his points (incompetence and malice) not just the adoption one. I do think his adoption criticism is by far his weakest argument, but i am still convinced by it.

That said, I think there's a lot of missing elaboration for the argument. My reading of it is:

* users want web crawling tools that work for the majority of the web

* most authors will find semantic web too complex to implent (Say > 95% don't implement)

* as a result, if we want to serve our users, we would need to make two tools,one for semantic sites and one for not

* The non-semantic tool is going to work for both semantic and non semantic sites, so why bother building two tools?

To reiterate my previous comment - this is a bog standard product problem. Its so common it even has a name: chicken-or-the-egg. Tons of products require some sort of critical mass or network effects to be useful. Succesful products find a way to get there or make the product somewhat useful before that point so incentives are such that there is a path to get from 0 to a stable sustaining point.

> It's hard to move past because it's hard to debate irrelevant sticky points. Norvig's point was entirely a non-issue, and finding that meta-analysis to explain that is harder than having a point that actually means something that we can then discuss straightforwardly.

If you really believe lack of adoption is a non issue, then i'm not sure why you think you have to move past this. Success is the best come-back to criticism, and if the lack of adoption is a non-issue, why are we debating whether or not its an issue instead of just pointing to the successes?

And to be fair, there have been successes in specific limited domains. Domain-specific successes just aren't the grand idealistic vision of a unified semantic web that people like to present. I suspect that its this grand ideal that Norvig is arguing against, not against niche specific publishing of structured data.
>I suspect that the rise of tertiary education over the past 40-50 years which has further stratified educational attainment along class lines may be a relevant factor.

This was a central point to the aforementioned book. The gist being elites invest in education, skill investment, and long hours that leads to more money that they can use to invest in more education and skill development in their children to repeat the cycle. The irony being that, while education and skill development work to gain material success, the long hours required to stay at the top of the competitive heap also makes the meritocratic winners miserable.
Well, I’m pretty sure that’s not the reason.

I feel like the real reason are the laws involved. I’m pretty sure a lot of people would jump at the chance to own a 2or 3k electric scooter that is self repairable with a universal battery type that can be used in any other electric scooter on the market.

Great read. Laughing at: “But when he started working on the mercaptans, he and his accomplices were exiled to a wooden shack out in the boondocks at least two hundred yards from the main building. Undeterred and unrepentant, he continued his noisome endeavors [snip] Anyhow, he came up with the ethyl mercaptal of acetaldehyde and the ethyl mercaptol of acetone respectively. The odor of these was not so much skunk-like as garlicky, the epitome and concentrate of all the back doors of all the bad Greek restaurants in all the world. And finally he surpassed himself with something that had a dimethylamino group attached to a mercaptan sulfur, and whose odor can't, with all the resources of the English language, even be described. It also drew flies.”

“it was magnificently hypergolic with many fuels. (I used to take advantage of this property when somebody came into my lab looking for a job. At an inconspicuous signal, one of my henchmen would drop the finger of an old rubber glove into a flask containing about 100 cc of mixed acid —and then stand back. The rubber would swell and squirm" a moment, and then a magnificent rocket-like jet of flame would rise from the flask, with appropriate hissing noises. I could usually tell from the candidate's demeanor whether he had the sort of nervous system desirable in a propellant chemist.)”
They have extended logistics, but there is enough parallel infra used by all the other players that I personally don't see a difference (Amazon is not much faster to me, and sometimes worse).

The PDF reads (pg. 62):

> In addition, the Google Drive website, the Google Drive mobile application, and the Google Drive Terms and Privacy policy all failed to disclose to users that Google as a third party had access to their WhatsApp communications.

Since the original post criticizes the behavior of Panda runtime where it loads everything into memory before processing, I think replacing the underlying Panda runtime with Spark runtime is very much a valid solution.

I have been working fully remote for just over 7 years. One of the people I work with was a friend before I started working with him, so that relationship hasn't changed.

One solution is indoor farming, because you can stack in 3D and have entirely controlled input and output. We would need like 100x the number of existing mechanics and mechatronics folks to keep such an endeavor operational though.

I'll say I am definitely biased in favor of WebGPU up front[2].

WebGPU is focused on landing 1.0 currently, so yes, more features are not on the immediate roadmap.

But they've been considering/investigating adding support for this before mesh shaders in DX12 were even finalized[0] so it's not like there is some "we cannot / will not expose that functionality" mandate going on here. Despite its name, WebGPU is actually pretty much a 1:1 mapping of what is commonly available across APIs.

Separately, AMD doesn't support mesh shaders in Vulkan either, in fact Vulkan doesn't at all outside of a Nvidia extension from what I understand - and it sounds like there are some concerns from Khronos about whether they even map to all GPU architectures in a reasonable way at all.[1]

If you want to argue "but by dropping to the level of DX12, Vulkan, Metal, etc. I can use some very specific new features" that's totally true, but you can do that with WebGPU native too: after all, Dawn and other WebGPU implementations are just abstractions over those 3 APIs. One can just as easily hop into their code and add your own extension to make use of Mesh shaders in DX12, I can say that at least Dawn's codebase is set up to allow for such extensions from what I've seen.

Just because you are not paying for it doesn't mean it has zero costs. If you're not paying for it, someone else is, the ROI burden gets shifted to the society as a whole, which is much, much worse than the burden being on an individual.

Startpage was my preferred search engine for the past two years, however in the past half year, I get many of my searches blocked when they contain "site:" param. The situation got worse in thev part few months when some searches with double-quotes get blocked too, which is a deal breaker for me.

For blocked search, I meant Startpage showed a page claiming unusual network activity, and presented a report form. There was no captcha, and there's no way to continue the search from there.

I wasn't using VPN when this happened, and I encountered this on my home WiFi, office WiFi, and mobile network, MacBook and Android.

I don't understand your questions.

My message is that for a very large number of real world scenarios the value proposition of doing things the NPM way does not result in a Pareto improvement, despite conventional wisdom suggesting otherwise.

I also don't understand your motivation for posting an explanation of the grunt-related problem in the Web X-Ray repo. It reminds me of running into a bug and then going out of my way to track down the relevant issue and attach a test case crafted to demonstrate the bug in isolation, only to have people chime in with recommendations about what changes to make to the test case in order to not trigger the bug. (Gee, thanks...)

And to reiterate the message at the end of my last comment: the rationale of trying to point at how bad mainstream development manages to screw up other stuff, too, is without.
