Ads are more expensive than paying directly. Ads work because companies expect you to purchase their products based on their ads, which means you are now paying for the production of the ad, the sale of the ad, and for the product they expect you to buy, and you get a lot less out of it.

I say the solution is to move all ads to a dedicated space (ads.gov, say) and then when you have a problem as a consumer you can go there and search for a solution or a product.

Then it will become cheaper for the rest of us, and services will have to become more focused on consumers needs, not the needs of advertisers.
No idea, don’t really care. That these performance disparities exist isn’t controversial, several well-known companies have written about it e.g. nginx[0]. I deploy on Kubernetes, but all of our I/O intensive infrastructure is deployed on virtual machines for performance reasons — we still lose ~10% on a virtual machine compared to bare metal but a container on bare metal is significantly worse.

All high-performance data infrastructure bypasses the operating system for most things, taking total control of the physical hardware it uses. Cores, memory, storage, network. Linux happily grants that control, with caveats. It doesn’t work the same inside Kubernetes and Docker, and no one can figure out how to turn it off. Maybe you don’t work on I/O intensive applications, but for people that do this is a well-documented phenomenon. My teams have wasted far too many hours trying to coax good performance out of code in containers that works just fine on bare metal and virtual machines.

From the link below we see evidence that the chance of dying from Covid-19 is multiple times bigger for the unvaccinated than for the vaccinated.

I wonder what kind of "smart" person ignores this evidence and puts their life at risk at will? Hey my chance of dying from Covid is 10 times bigger because I don't get vaccinated, but I won't because I believe an even worse fate awaits me if I do. What do they think that worse fate is?

About the vaccine not giving us herd-immunity, of course it doesn't if the herd refuses to get vaccinated.

To elaborate on why this doesn't bridge the gap between heavy trucking road wear and all other traffic, road wear primarily comes down to environmental causes and impact loading. Wear from impact loading scales with IIRC roughly the 4th power of axle weight. The ruts you see in asphalt aren't from wearing through the surface, it's from slowly deforming it due to cyclic loading slowly shifting the subsurface and road surface on top. That basically doesn't happen with any vehicle that doesn't require a CDL.

As a counterpoint the environmental wear is basically inevitable and in colder climates that's going to dominate the road work schedule anyways so it doesn't matter as much. Even with freeze thaw wrecking the road heavy loads still shorten the life of the road surface.

Any way you slice it though, the current taxes and fees that heavy trucks pay do not come close to covering the share of maintenance work they're responsible for. Gas taxes effectively subsidize the trucking industry.
I would really like to see some math / data on what amount of power / battery etc you need and what crops to grow and survive off of. Basically how much greenhouse space and electricity do you need per person and what would you be eating.

We grow a seasonal garden, much larger than most people I know, about 3 acres and we don't keep tedious records or really optimize it but it seems like it would fall far short of being enough food to live off of.
F*k Google indeed.

For numpy, it's correct. But numba can optimize the loop. So optimized and readable loop is not an advantage of julia compare to numba.

Sure you can, the question is if you should. And you can't declare properties on interfaces (well, you can use @property annotation, but that's just... an annotation).
i've been to many cites, and many suburbs. in my city, we have suburbs that are full of trees and parks. i've even seen a kangaroo and a koala nesar the city.
then we in the same city have these car bound arid wastelands. both are true. australia and america have cities like this, all their cities have this wasteland.
travelling in europe, you see the medium cities. many trams, bike lanes and trains to get between the wastelands which still exist and the nice parks in the nice places. the european model ( i say this as a cyclist) is so much preferable.

Pareidolia (/ˌpærɪˈdoʊliə, ˌpɛər-/;[1] also US: /ˌpɛəraɪ-/)[2] is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one sees an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none.

In the US, there is a difference between debit cards, ACH, and bank transfers. They are three separate things.
On a note entirely unrelated to the above comment, I find it somewhere between humorous and worrying that people who seem to have never actually read 1984 seem insistent on invoking it for things that are entirely unrelated to the book and have occurred for decades in most countries (showing documents for travel, having to get vaccinated for certain jobs) and ignore all the other things happening that were actually in the book. Like, for example, historical revisionism by party-controlled media.

These vaccination cards are totally unprecedented[1] and authoritarian. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.

Indian here. One thing you should remember is that UPI is free (so far) because it is not a 'Credit' product yet. With a credit card, someone is giving you a loan for x days and there are costs associated with it - interest rates, default rates, etc.

Of the 2.9% that Stripe (or any other processor) charges, a majority of the fee goes to the credit card issuer, i.e. bank. You probably chose to use a particular credit card because of the rewards offered by that particular bank. So, practically, a majority of the 2.9% fees goes to the issuing bank and a major portion is returned as rewards to the credit card user, i.e. the payer. Since the merchant, i.e. the seller, probably raised the prices by ~3% in order to afford the processing fees and credit card users get back most of it in rewards, people that use any other mode of payment end-up paying extra for the same product practically.

'Credit' cards are going to cost money for the foreseeable future. Issuing banks charge anywhere from 1.8% to 3% or higher for processing credit their cards. Processors add a markup on top of this fees to their merchants. 'Debit' cards issued by the major banks on the other hand, cost less than 0.5% for the processors. Stripe charges 2.9% for both debit as well as credit cards, YES but their costs to them are not the same.
A lot of anxiety in these comments! I had the opposite issue to a lot of people here; it wasn’t a psychological health issue causing it, it was caffeine that I’d tolerated well most of my life before. I stupidly drank some caffeinated tea before watching Dune which made the whole experience terrifying!

That can be done with code generation at compile time. We don’t need to reflect at runtime for that.
I’m not a knife fetishist or anything, but a weird number of my favorite household items are edged things.

I grabbed a Global 12” chef’s knife after reading about it in Kitchen Confidential twenty-ish years ago, reminded of its superiority whenever I’m in a friend’s kitchen. I am sad to admit that IKEA makes a very decent clone, though.

An old nemesis gave me a Benchmade serrated knife with this miraculous spring-button release, absolute joy to handle.

I used to tie fishing flies in Montana as a kid; fly-tying scissors are fantastically sharp and useful for all kinds of micro projects. I often use them for extracting slivers that tweezers can’t reach. For macro work, nothing beats a pair of sewing shears; get a decent set and you’ll never touch a standard office or school scissor ever again.

Oxo scissors for the kitchen, though — the blades comes apart so you can clean the space between the hinge, lotta gross stuff will build up there in the kitchen.

No man, not every report needs to have a personal opinion. Journalists are expected to be objective and neutral and only present facts and different views. Why can't I do the same?

I didn't say "that's just your interpretation" (implying I am downplaying that opinion), I said "whatever interpretation you hold is fine, it's not up to me to decide" (implying respect). That's something totally different.

Unfortunately, that depends on the implementation of security the bank adopted. I assume you are mentioning a detail in the PSD2 directive. The banks, especially after national legislation following the directive, may adapt but not overlap it.

Take as an example the rule in the directive, that NFC based payments should require PIN based confirmation every five transactions: not all banks implemented this.
Also in Finland.
So basically, you just don't want to believe the evidence, don't have any substantial criticism either, just vague bullshitting.
> start near near the far rim so the crack is only supported on one side

I have no professional background, so maybe I'm totally wrong, but I would advise against that, because if you aim a bit too far or the wood gives too easily, most of the impact will be against the haft instead of the head, and the haft can break this way.

I usually start at the near side and then work towards the far side, which is only dangerous if you don't have a wide base (another log maybe) under the piece you're currently splitting, because if you miss the near side, the axe is flying towards your feet.
The framework has 3 layers,
Query Builder -> ActiveRecord based ORM -> CRUD Controllers

The CRUD controllers are then mapped with a router to different paths.

When you create a CRUD controller you extend the base class which has everything you need and then you set a single parameter, className which sets the object for which this CRUD controller is for. The base class works out of the box with front ends like agGrid.

The query builder itself is only part of the puzzle.

Every single ORM in existence is converting the object's data from the native types of the language into the types of the database and vice versa. There's almost always some configuration for each object type in whatever format from native code to yaml to xml to plain text. Every ORM has a toDatabaseValue() normalization function that also goes in reverse when pulling data from the database. Some ORMs will call this "data mapper" or "mapping" or "normalization". When this becomes evident the queries themselves become suuuuper simple because what you send into your INSERT or UPDATE queries is a complete array of strings with field values already predetermined. This is necessary because a database engine might have dozens of types like enum, string, text, longtext,smalltext,bigtext,varchar, char but all of them in your language could be "string". Advanced ORMs will know the database engine you use and even warn you if you try to save a string over 255 chars to a (255) char database engine but most don't.

My code is available here.
https://github.com/Divergence/framework/blob/6af1b6b0e56b25c...

Where people go wrong is trying to do this field normalization logic inside their query builder. That leads to all sorts of problems. The query builder shouldn't know what is going on with your ORM at all. It's just gluing strings together to form a query.

You can see my dead simple query builder here: https://github.com/Divergence/framework/tree/develop/src/IO/...

I honestly used to not have one as it's so simple but decided it was a good abstraction to assimilate from other frameworks. My query builder does not attempt to sanitize anything. The ActiveRecord class takes care of that through the data mapping conversion functions for all the basic HTTP CRUD functionality.
The modern world wasn't built on geniuses with no education. Even if 90% of people don't benefit, 10% do, invent new stuff, and the 90% benefit from that.

Also you have to factor in competition, if you don't educate your population another country will and leave you with the low paying jobs.

We should be educating people their entire lives, 1 day a week at school to learn things that were invented after you left school.

> If travel restrictions are good on a risk adjusted basis to buy time for the “weeks” of analysis needed that could help with further reducing risk, let’s talk about it not write it off as “not working” which is non-sensical.

The unstated alternative to writing it off as not working is just enforcing bans on the basis of “better safe than sorry”. To me it’s clear that experience with the other variants shows that it just isn’t safe, so there is no “better safe than sorry”.

Let’s talk about not just writing off the alternative as well.

Aah yea i think understand, we have a pretty nice custom QR builder where you can customize the colors, add tekst, or a logo :) We also don't use URL shorteners people can just choose a custom slug eg menu.cards/s/[slug]

Probably most more simple systems use url shorteners so they can update the URl it's revering to, since you sometimes need to update the menu. With Menu.Cards you can just update you menu dynamically whenever.

Btw if you want to see a demo of what a menu could look like: menu.cards/s/demo
Odd not to touch on Open Banking and PSD2 in Europe; as that is basically the future he is talking about.

In essence; financial institutions are legislated to add customer friendly UX and fraud prevention on top of standard bank to bank transfers. It's effectively a set of APIs that orchestrate it all, with things like dynamic linking to the payment and secure authentication rules for anti fraud.

The idea is for commercial offerings to build on top of the standard APIs (for example, to offer bank transfers in checkouts). In practice it's taking a bit to get off the ground - but providers like Tink (sold to Visa for a lot of money) and Truelayer and starting to get traction.

Australia and MENA region are heading down the same route.

https://www.openbanking.org.uk/

Edit; for clarity, SEPA was the early moves to normalise what the European banks were doing from around 2008 onwards - and ended up with PSD1 rationalising it. As others have said this blog mostly only actually focuses on the direct debit element of SEPA not the credit payment side.
In my opinion the fix is to stop using rotary wing designs, they're simply inefficient.

Instead, use fixed-wing designs. There's a reason planes are so much more common than helicopters.

Another alternative might be very small airships, especially indoors.
If you live that close to zero you have other problems. I would highly recommend reviewing your finances in great detail to figure out how you are going to create a small buffer.

Whoever wrote this makes my head hurt.

If you were using binary storage, you wouldn't use "the JWS character set" (aka base64). You'd store it directly and have 0 wasted bits.

Also, they're not acknowledging the bits wasted by their current system. Numeric mode in QR codes spends 3.33 bits per digit. At two digits per character, they're spending 6.67 bits to store only 6 bits of information.
Looks like it. It's a good idea to take down old keys after they have gone into disuse, to prevent things like this.
The best bicycle lights ever made are the Sparse anti-theft lights. Unfortunately their business didn’t pan out, but you can find some remainders here and there on eBay.

The current best lights are the Knog cobblers. They have three drawbacks: dismal battery, usb-a, and easy to remove (thus easy to steal). I’m hoping that an inevitable “rev 2” will solve the first two problems.

You can imagine how desparate Microsoft was to finally get the Windows on ARM thing going. They really needed a vendor to focus up to deliver a proper ARM experience. Unfortunately, from what I've read, there is still no real reason to use Windows on ARM devices. Apple is a completely different company. They vertically integrate a lot more while Microsoft always has a network of partners in whatever they do. And it makes sense to me because they are present in so many more industries and have way more products so doing each one completely vertically is way more risks. Microsoft just want a piece of every pie. Apple on the other hand always has a few golden apples which they sell with high Apple tax and have to make sure they execute perfectly. Windows on ARM is a defensive move from Microsoft to have insurance from x86 falling behind, while Apple on ARM was an attempt to do better than Intel can

I dunno, it's certainly possible that some of the claims are true, but I couldn't find anyone else making them or talking about them. Which is odd, because some of what's being claimed is quite serious.

I'm sceptical.
Yep. Entirely depends on the bank - in France neobanks ( e.g. Boursorama, Aumax, Fortuneo, N26 ) have them for free, while old banks usually charge you a small fee.
perhaps it takes 20 years to determine if something will last forever
I got that. I'm just saying I don't really get people who pay hundreds of dollars for fake vaccination certificate, when the other option of getting vaccinated:

1. Gives you the real certificate

2. FOR FREE,

3. With no chance of getting charged with forgery.

4. Gets you vaccinated which will protect you against death and serious illness.

I think the choice is a "no-brainer"

I think the last consumer paper(inkjet/laser) printer I've seen with the same reliability as my Prusa Mini broke down 20 years ago.

I haven't had a single print come off the bed by itself and never had to level anything. In ~150 prints there was one failure. Of course I'm just a hobbyist, but still. It could be worse.
Yea, I was just thinking to turn in more into a game. Or some kind or Tinder for selecting what you want as a kid. The healthier the more points or something hehe ;)
I have done that in another reply before your comment, and the data is in fact very clear and obvious, your silly denial nonwithstanding.

That's one of the most under appreciated things about supply chains in general and inventory in particular. The fact that more inventory regularly does increase shortages. Among the worst offenders, within the industry, to not get that is production closely followed by (B2B) sales in my experience.

The damage to the road is proportional to the fourth power of the axle weight.

Take a look at this chart:

https://streets.mn/2016/07/07/chart-of-the-day-vehicle-weigh...

and this article

https://www.denenapoints.com/relationship-vehicle-weight-roa...

From the article:

"Or where an 80,000-pound 18-wheeler full of cargo is compared to a 4,000-pound passenger car, the truck is 20 times heavier than the car. But taking the 4th power of the relative loads, the semi would cause 160,000 times more road damage than the car. (But my simple calculation is not taking into account the effect of any weight distribution caused by the greater number of axles on the big rig.)"

Even taking into account the number of axles, say, five on the lorry and two on the car we have 2 000 pounds per axle for the car and 16 000 pounds per axle for the lorry. That is a factor of eight, 8^4 is 4096, still a large number.
