I've had a superior barrage me with questions, faster than I could possibly answer them. It was incredibly adversarial. I was kinda stunned, to be honest, and i took a beat to collect my thoughts. Gave him a brief, mostly involuntary wide-eyed stare, took an audible breath, and set about deliberately answering his questions in an order that made sense. The rest of our meeting went smoothly.

Most trawlers are owned by small businesses. They have very little lobbying power compared to the massive multinational agricultural conglomerates that control pork and poultry. JBS in particular is enormous, it owns almost a third of global pork processing through it's subsidiaries.

The fact Kudara/Baekje kingdom is located in present day Korea does not mean it was populated with people having Korean culture and speaking Korean, as like you said some part of the peninsula has its own history. Some sort of Japonic language was spoken in the Korean peninsula[1] and the alliance between Baekje and some Japanese state at the time could have been because of related a culture.

In the hypothesis it wasn't the case, Japanese are indeed good at "Japanese-washing" successful people, by ignoring their foreign roots when convenient, while doing the reverse for people less successful. A pretty recent example is that of Momofuku Ando, inventor a cup ramen, born Taiwanese.

At this point, I find it remarkable that people use the term “found studies” as anything but self selection. You can prove anything including that the earth is flat and that video footage in the moon landing is fake.

(Geodesic) domes are not usually half spheres at all. They can be but they really don't have to be. You can do more than half a sphere, half a sphere, less than half a sphere and all of them would be called domes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesic_dome

Some good sample images there.

And a geodesic dome does not require any internal supports, so it doesn't matter whether a pressure differential is involved.

Essentially any slice of a sphere can be made into a geodesic dome.
But you can buy a used bike for less than $50 and typically your homeowners/renters insurance will cover it (and a stolen phone) anyway (though typically with a deductible).

How is that not urban?
Suburbia is a tree. The best residential property is closest to the leaf nodes, since this minimizes through traffic (think cul-de-sac). The best commercial property is closest to the root, since this maximizes it (think McDonalds). The tree empties every morning and fills every night, placing enormous demands on the edges near the root. Those are generally the stroads. Slashing the capacity of a stroad/arterial by turning it to a street would cut off the entire subtree from the world. Homeowners are right to resist that. Their property would be useless.

If we’re fighting stroads, those have to become roads. One way to get this done is simply banish the businesses. But this strains capacity on the arterials even worse, since you now need to leave the suburb to go shopping.

The other way is to push businesses down the tree, closer to houses, more decentralized. But the residents won’t abide that either, on the theory that businesses will attract traffic to their sub-trees.

To that I say: get over it. It’s utterly insane to have a whole street for the private use of a few dozen families. It’s literally impossible to make arterials big enough to compensate. You can have your street slow, but it’s going to be part of a network and it’s going to be used by more than just the hyper local community.

But of course they don’t see this as particularly less bad than total isolation, so they won’t allow it either. The whole thing is fucked.
Safari Forgets Your History
Names are used to communicate. If you have to tell people "it's pronounced G-new" like a Monty Python sketch, you make it harder for people to take you seriously.
I visited Palm Springs, CA recently, and it was all stroads.

At midnight, they actually functioned as good roads; I probably averaged 47mph.

During the day, I averaged about half of that because of all the lights -- even when I didn't stop at a red, the traffic in front of me did.
I think it's clear to most people who build things that functional programming only appears in the wild when a programmer sets out to build something with functional programming. Those of us who are not taken by this hobby would never use it for anything.
When society does not uphold defense of property you get things like this: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/nov/15/walgreens-cl...

Unless something is done soon those areas are going to decline. The stores closing is a symptom of there being no safety. It screams "don't do business here". No businesses means no jobs, which means more poverty in the area.

Saying that you can't defend property means that you're tolerating this theft. The police don't do anything for property theft. This isn't a uniquely American problem - property theft is just too hard to prove, the legal teeth on it have been neutered in the world etc. The only one that can really stop property theft is yourself, but if you're not allowed to defend it then you can't even do that. Being able to defend your property doesn't stop the problem, but it gives you the ability to do something about it.

Perhaps "data" is too analytical; I'm interested in how plants convey pain and fear.
Intel can make parts to fit a SKU by (a) sorting them based on what elements are working when they come off the proverbial press, (b) physically disabling working elements, or (c) disabling working elements in software with the option to re-enable them.

I totally understand the argument that (c) is more objectionable since the chip you buy is prevented from using all the elements it left the factory with. However I think it really shouldn't feel different than (b)? The only difference between getting 8 core part with 8 more cores burned out on its way out the door and an 8 core part with 8 more cores disabled in microcode is that you can double the core count of the latter in place for a price that's presumably proportional to the price difference between the 8c and 16c SKU?

Of course there's a slippery slope to a hardware-as-a-service pay-us-x-per-unit-time-or-we-turn-off-your-CPU, but with competition from AMD on x86 and in-house ARM chips from Apple and hyper-scalers, one would think Intel wouldn't want to make their product even _less_ attractive.
Personally I don’t believe in “plural”. If there’s more than one of something I just say it: “I went to the aquarium and saw octopus octopus octopus. I’d tell you what I saw around the anthill outside, but I’m not sure you have the time.” :)
It’s one thing to prioritize saving children from a burning building but not mice, and another to justify one’s decision to do so based on the neural complexity of children compared to mice. I don’t think killing a mouse is the moral equivalent of killing a child, but that’s me making a value judgment. I don’t need to cite a scientific (objective) criterion for this, such as how many neurons a child has, or whether or not it is conscious or has an ego (if such a thing is even scientific).

Suggesting that I’m saying species ought to be treated “equally” is the real straw man argument here (although I don’t feel you’re arguing in bad faith, for the record - I can see how my comments may be taken that way). I don’t believe species ought to be treated equally but rather that we ought to give all species consideration.

It’s curious that this view is considered so extreme by so many, while the treatment we inflict on living beings, which is often extreme to the point where “torture” is an accurate description, is generally ignored.

As an aside, we treat jellyfish far better than the way we treat the billions of mammals currently trapped in the dystopian hell of factory farming.

There's a version of this where you inflate a dome-shaped balloon to a moderately high pressure, and then spray foamed concrete on it.[1] Once the foam sets, you deflate the balloon, and you have a dome. There were door and window modules built to fit this. Works OK, not very popular.

The overall effect is that of a Quonset hut. Works OK, used by militaries worldwide, few people live in them by choice.

Yes probably some moral obligation to those countries if they enabled them to be born and survive and become skilled or wealthy enough to be in a position to migrate to western countries on that basis, yes I do think there is an argument that they have some non-zero obligation.

But wealthy countries are not doing this for the benefit of those people, they are doing it for their own benefit. To the detriment of the rest of those in poor countries. This pretty much seals the lot of those countries to be dependent client states subject to the whims of wealthy countries and prone to having their other natural resources plundered as well. Let's not lie to ourselves about this being some kind of altruism or net positive outcome.

During colonialism, many collaborators in the countries being exploited got great benefit, they were put in positions of power installed as local rulers, for example. I don't see a lot of difference in the dynamics or results.

Theoretical question, because it's quite interesting to me that almost everyone I have talked with about this who has made arguments in this direction have tended to be leftist or collectivist leaning -- what do you think? Also do you think the 0.01% of people in a western country have any obligation towards the 99.99% of people in that country?

LPDDR4 RAM is literally not available in any socketed form factor. The signal integrity becomes too degraded over physical connectors. The solution is to increase the voltage (at which point it is no longer Low Power DDR4) or bypass the socket entirely and solder the chip to the board.

Everything has a tradeoff, including repairability.
Right. At any point that an object could possibly be deallocated, everybody who wanted to look at it has, perforce, already lost interest. The system knows at what point this is, and can quietly dismantle the object and free its storage without bothering the programmer.

Depends on the discussion. Some types of discussions, like salary or business negotiations, are battles to be won, even though etiquette demands we pretend otherwise.

For example, if you're asking for a pay raise of $10k and your boss counters by asking why you need more money, it's not in your interest to go down that track.

I think parent would still go through those warm-ups if there was a legitimate chance for the conversation to go further.

Hey, whatever gets fixes off the Spotify community forums is a win in my book.

And the answer is that it’s a consistency thing. Playlists usually make more sense when shuffled and there’s some value in making sure the big green button has consistent behavior whenever it appears.

From the link, there is a visible laneway near the end of the merge land on the right in the picture it presents as a road.

While the cropping of the image obscures what is at the end of the laneway, it most likely does have a building. As you can see there is a 911 number plate, which usually don't get issued in Ontario unless there is a building on the property. Additionally, it appears to be a recycling bin at the end of the lane under the Canadian flag, which further indicates that a building is present.

Moreover, we can find plenty of examples of buildings, including houses, that have direct access to that road.

I'm happy that we agree on this. Having said that, I would note that your example, while certainly valid, is IMHO of a too small scale (literally and figuratively - the latter with regard to complexity) to comprehensively illustrate the "mental models" concept. When I think about mental models, I'm thinking more about analysis frameworks typically applied to much larger and usually much more complex systems than technical ones, mostly sociotechnical and socioeconomic systems (e.g., open source ecosystem, startup ecosystem, innovation, science, corporations, stock market, finance, economy, policies, politics, society, history).
I wish you success
Your claim of lobsters not being able to feel pain is wishy-washy because it's a convenient assumption based off of an oversimplification. "Invertebrates don't feel pain because they lack the specific machinery mammals use to experience pain". If you just stop there then yes, it does seem silly to worry about a thing that doesn't exist. However, what I've seen of the models suggests that we are far away from being able to confidently say we have a complete model of a lobster's nervous system.
"Work" has two overloaded meanings here.

It might `work` in the sense that it causes the practitioners feel better, without the biochemistry `working` as hypothesized. Indeed, the author points out that many of the practices are pretty close to more traditional mindfulness/sleep hygiene recommendations anyway.

I think it depends on the job - the more advanced, sophisticated, the more specialisation; the less advanced, the more generalisation eg the neurosurgeon doesn't get asked to also do heart surgery - the barrier to jump from one to the other is too high, unlike painting a shed, cleaning a pool, mowing grass, carrying furniture. Tech has kernel and compiler experts who I think generally do little else, vs devops who are more generalist, have a more superficial knowledge of numerous technologies which often change. As I get older I feel my value as a generalist decreases when I look at the incredible depth of knowledge specialists have accrued over the years, and my knowledge is a year old and soon to expire - the eternal newbie, a dabbler, a dilettante. There's is some element of lack of identity in that, but it's too late at night to play Freud. This wasn't a bother when I was younger, and as sibling comments say generalists are in need, but I think that's mostly only in certain areas such as devops, sre, some dev. Personally, I'd rather be an expert, alas I'm not. I wonder if there's a connection to moving into management - with age, generalists are less able to jump around to new tech, so move into management? You certainly seem correct when looking at other roles such as AI, or data scientist - I worked alongside a computer vision, AR chap, and there was no way I was going to be jumping into that to help out. As technologies advance, there will be some abstraction, but increasing depth will require more specialists.

When I first read this it was a revelation of vocabulary, but also helped me solidify a bunch of nebulous discontent for infrastructure in my city. Why did it suck quite so much? How could a simple 4 lane road be implemented so poorly as to cause -this-? Because it was trying to wear two hats. A main artery, and a commerce precinct. As the article points out, they are incompatible without huge compromises.

The truth is there isn't that much demand for high density housing and walkable neighborhoods. They are mostly attractive to young childless adults. Some of them stick around once they have kids, but it's rare and usually reserved for the well-off who can afford private schools and family-sized homes. In SF you've got the parents who are happy to put their kids and groceries on the back of their bike, but most look to find something a bit closer to suburbia.

I would say communities like San Mateo or Belmont on the peninsula are what's in demand. Small "cute" downtowns with trendy shops and dining, but also enough parking so you can drive, surrounded by single family homes, big parks and open spaces and mixed multi-unit apartments/condos. People can have the benefits of their own property, exclusive space and enough space for a family, while enjoying a "downtown" experience when they want to.

Peter doesn't support the side that ejects anyone (e.g. Kinzinger, Cheney) who dares to disagree with Trump? He doesn't support the side whose existential litmus test is allegiance to a massive lie? He doesn't support the side that is currently banning books?

His "side" has literally become a thought-policing cult, infected with conspiracy theorists and white supremacists who rabidly attack anyone with whom they disagree. They do this with vitriol and threats of real violence, including planned militia-style assaults on elected officials (Whitmer), even in their own party (Pence). As well, their own reps (Cawthorn, Gosar, Trump, etc.) purposely use the language of violence against those who disagree with them.

Their openly fascist dream-becoming-reality is to enforce their will at gunpoint.

You can do that too to reduce the density of the concrete and to increase the insulation value but what you're more likely to encounter is to have the foundation layered in foam slabs and then concrete poured over the top for a good mixture of strength and insulation. The styrofoam insulates and because the concrete and the foam are in contact it also helps to diffuse loads.

Some pictures:

Insulated foundations set on foam:

The main reason is to fully insulate the thermal mass of the house from the surroundings. I see this happen around here all the time and even though I understand the basics I'm still not sure that I would like the house that I own and have a good chunk of my saving in built like that because of the long term compression of the foam. I'd be worry about uneven compression and cracks or other foundation issues. But it's really very common.
