I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it's because many people don't like to brag. If you earn more than the people you're talking to, that could be taken as a "look how much of a big shot I am" kind of comment, even if it wasn't meant to be. There's also a good chance that asking for a raise is futile, in which case jealousy could easily strike.

Some people are discouraged by their managers from discussing their pay; to me, that indicates a bad work environment.

> what does employer gain from it?
The employer can afford to only pay people who are good negotiators more, while keeping the rest at a lower pay or worse benefits. New hires earning more than the old blood because of differences in contracts can also happen. If you get the suggestion to keep quiet about compensation, my guess would be that it's probably because some workers have gotten a worse deal than others and their managers don't want people to leave or ask for a raise.

There are good reasons for why you don't pay two people doing the same work the same amount of money. Maybe one person does the job a lot better, maybe one person has more time off or has negotiated never to work when their favourite sports team is playing. Maybe someone has kids and can't be relied to do overtime in periods of crunch, or maybe someone asked for a newer company car instead of a pay rise. Maybe someone has negotiated special perks that they worry will be taken away if people find out and come asking for the same exceptions.

At the end of the day, there's more to compensation than pure monetary value. People value different kinds of compensation differently, so discussing this objectively gets harder the more flexible your employer gets. It's easy to become outraged about money because it can be easily compared ("Julie earns more than 10 grand more than James!").

There are good reasons why you would only discuss your salary if you have the time to go into details. There are also many bad ones.

If people have the same contract terms, work the same hours and do the same job, then there's no good reason for difference in pay, in my opinion. But, as many people have discovered when companies decided to cut pay when they relocated to a cheaper area, you're not worth what you contribute to the company; only what you can manage the company to spend on you. If you don't have a lot of options, your employer can screw you over significantly.
Pretty much. Not sure why the terminology changed between the Bush years and the Trump administration.
These tests seem to be done at elevated temperature or some other accelerated method, because no oil oxidizes noticeably in mere hours.

My experience at low temperatures is that the difference is much bigger than in that test. A thin layer of sunflower oil takes a week or two to turn into hard to remove sticky goo, olive oil... basically doesn't seem to do that at all.
Thanks for engaging here.

Unfortunately, everything is on autopay. I rarely access the app or browser extension, and almost never access the dashboard.

I hope folks over there are thinking about how many people will have fewer than 30 days to update their cards. Emails should have gone out much sooner. I'm guessing this was a rushed job, and I'm sympathetic toward the things vendors force on companies, but communication is 100% in a company's control and should have gone out much sooner (I still haven't received an email).
Computers used to be so expensive that it made more sense to hire a “programmer” to convert an “analyst’s” flowchart into machine code using only a keypunch.
In practice it has never been smoother for me. If I come across a crappy cable that isn't up to snuff I can easily get rid of it, I already have more than I need. It's not like previously when you had to keep some rare cables in case you needed them once in a blue moon.

Originally I had the same impression as you, but I'm starting to think the author didn't actually mean to imply your step 1. Their "now suppose for all sets of n" was a poor choice of phrasing and they meant something else than what the average person would assume.

I hate to sound flamer but, inline posting is the correct form to answer an e-mail. The simplest argument is:

A: Because it messes natural reading.
Q: Why?
A: Top posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing when reading an e-mail?

Reading a top posted thread is a mess! The real question for me is why most people out of FLOSS communities top post. But I think the answer is simple: most e-mail client position the cursor on the top of the answer with quoted text under it.

AWS – The YAML Way
I think the real reason colors have exploded is that it forces you to buy the set to build the model, you can't build models from other sets if the colors are different. Well, you can, but most people are above that level of OCD.

I noticed this after buying a crapton of legos on craigslist for, um, my new kid! I do have a new kid, but anyway, the colors vary far too much now.

Charitably, the colors probably subtly act like antialising does in rasterization, so it might make a blocky model seem more organic. But I think the business of selling more sets is also a sneaky reason.

Thing is this wasn't a 20+ year old company but a relatively young startup. Average age in the dev team must have been around 27-8. At 33 there were only 3-4 people in the entire company that were older than me. Should have pointed out: this wasn't perl, only perl-like approach to everything.

This is interesting, because I was just reading how unused vegetable oil is in common use for AK-47 rifles in Africa. (Nobody clarified if other rifles receive the same treatment.)
It's not very surprising, it's by design. They're intentionally not pursuing maximum quality and longevity. In most cases they're pursuing an optimization for lower to moderate cost, margin, volume of sales, manufacturing optimization, supply chain matters (including shipping).

You'll make more money selling 10 humidifiers to a typical consumer over a 20 year span at $40-$60 each, than what you could ever max them out on for one humidifier that will last that full 20 years. If you're the business in question, it's illogical to pursue any other path unless you're making a conscious choice to give up profit to specifically build something of vastly superior quality.

It's obviously not because we can't do it. The great majority of consumers won't pay for it and or can't afford it.

It's cheap-rotational-product-as-a-service. Most consumers don't have the purchasing power to buy a $500 humidifier (and or don't want to save up to do so), and they want to allocate their money elsewhere at a given time, so the $39.95 plastic cheap humidifier that'll last 2-3 years wins every time (that way they can buy 10-12 things that last a few years for $40 instead of one per year for a decade).

Or put another way, it's payday loan consumerism.

I use nothing but vegetable oil in my saws and have been doing so for decades. When the frying oil becomes too dark I filter it through a paper drip coffee filter and store the result in the wood shed, to be used when harvesting and preparing the ~8m³ of firewood needed to heat the farm through the Swedish winter. It works fine in the cooler climate we have here, in really hot places you might want to add something to make it stick better. I hardly ever get a broken chain, the bearings don't wear excessively and I get to use them until the chisels have been filed to the last remaining mm.
Groovy is still far better and more readable. And with @CompileStatic it is basically the same speed.
This is quite tricky to do, because it’s almost a sleight of hand and expressing it in English is like watching the trick from behind the magician - you can obviously see the wrongness.

But: if you skip a pair of horses (which is how the trick is done/the error introduced) it might be:

Assume any group of 3 horses are the same colour. Can we show that adding another horse will result in a group of horses that are all the same colour?

Well yes: take your new group of 4 horses, and extract 1. (h1). Three horses remain and they must by definition be the same colour. Put h1 back and extract a different horse (h2). Now three remain and must by definition be the same colour as each other.

But when h2 was out, h1 was part of a group that was all the same colour. And when h1 was out, h2 was part of a group that was all the same colour. Therefore they must all be the same colour. It doesn’t matter how many different horses you find and bring to your initial group of 3, the rules will mean the resulting group of 4 is always the same colour. And so it is true for a group of 4 horses.

By the same reasoning, it must then be true for a group of 5, and so on up to all horses.

So all horses are the same colour, so long as the first assumption (that any group of 3 horses must be the same colour) holds.

The trick/error is jumping from “a group of 1 horses must all be the same colour” to “a group of 3 horses must be the same colour” which is an easy jump to miss if you go from “1” to “n”, instead of “1” to “3”.

(The logic doesn’t work for a pair of horses, because once h1 is taken out there are no other horses left that h2 must be the same colour as.)
Just to be clear: a language with only if() conditionals and for() loops with known number of iterations (so for instance all for-each loops) isn't actually Turing complete. This is called primitive recursion, and an easy to prove example of what it cannot process is computing the Ackerman function.

Also, you can easily see that something is fishy because all such code must terminate (where's the halting problem here?)

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

Otherwise I completely agree with the aphorism.
Your last point there, if someone wants a real example, the DJI drone remote controls are a peripheral that provides power to a phone, when you connect your phone to it, the phone starts charging and launches the app.
Yeah, this is key. They definitely optimize for their own services. And they don’t run S3 and redshift on the same cpu/server at the same time.
Semantic enrichment of scientific literature seems promising as a way of unlocking the huge amount of knowledge in published documents (e.g., articles, textbooks). However, getting the enrichment process right takes a lot of effort and the enriched data doesn't provide sufficient value differentiation to 1) be worth the investment and 2) be commercially viable.

This author focuses bio-sciences; I've been collecting a list of similar efforts in Physics [0]. Those who can't do teach, and those who can't teach decorate data with semantic features.

Humans tend to limit the complexity of their systems and declare tech debt bankruptcy long before they're comparable to an ecosystem. You certainly could build something distantly comparable (e.g. the internet as a whole), but it's obvious how difficult studying those sorts of systems is.

Exactly how to understand and intervene in complex systems is an active area of multidisciplinary research, not something trivial or remotely well understood.
As a third generation American Jew, yiddish is something that when heard just lights up a special part in my brain. I’ve known Israelis who, when hearing Yiddish common words there is no inspiration of emotion, but amongst near all the other American Jews I know there is an immediate response.

Isn’t that the fault of thunderbolt for overloading the same connector for a different protocol?
I seriously doubt putting a charing point in every parking space is that expensive. We don't struggle to install lamp posts, or connect up houses. The cables are already there, you just need to tap into them. In the case of a lamp post that's trivial to do.

Certainly capacity is a bit of a worry. But there are simple solutions to that as well. Offer cheaper charging, but you guarantee that you'll get X KWh between 8pm and 8am, but don't specify exactly which hours. Then just have the chargers load share, only having 20%-30% of cars charging at any one time, and changing which cars are charging to make sure that everyone get's their allocated KWhrs, and the grid isn't overloaded.

This a feature that pretty much every commercial charger already supports. It's basically a standard feature to gang a bunch of chargers together, give them a shared power budget, and then let them either queue cars, and limit charging rates, to remain within the power budget.

And even then, the cost of all this infrastructure is minuscule compared to cost of climate change defences and remediation. To claim this infrastructure is too expensive is penny wish, pound foolish. Finally there's already a bunch of companies installing these chargers, its gonna be a god damn gold rush. EV are inevitable, the companies that own the physical infrastructure are gonna make bank. Just like telecom and electricity companies did.

I feel as if I'm always swimming up a river to get things done, "well so-and-so wouldn't approve", "what about XXXX", "YYYY wont be ready until March, etc. etc."

People used to grow up needing to milk the cows every day. There wasn't time to waste, get going and get it done. Regulations were more minimal and everything was contractual.

Today, you need permits to change a kitchen sink, you'll get a ticket for not wearing a seat belt, etc. etc.

There's that quote, "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." I see democracy as a system that makes it harder for a minority to oppress a majority, which is what pretty much "all the others" forms of government involve.

On the other hand, rather than say that a society that legally oppresses a minority is not a democracy, I'd rather call it a flawed democracy or a bad democracy. Be aware that democracy by itself doesn't provide protections to prevent a majority from oppressing a minority, instead of refusing to calling it a democracy.

That way we don't end like the true communists. Whenever someone discusses any of the problems with communism a true communist always says: "no you see, that happened because it wasn't real communism", and they kind of miss the point of whatever constructive discussion you were trying to have with them.

It is fascinating even for the secular among us to consider the aspects of human history that have resulted in billions of people dedicating their lives to follow Jesus.

The upending of the family structure that ended up converting the Roman Empire after 300 years might be analogous to what the world is starting to experience again (with slow universal demographic collapse except in subsets of practicing religious).
People used to waste an enormous amount of time a century ago doing things we no longer have to do, that today are either automated or sourced out to other labor. It'd be interesting to attempt to compare and contrast in a realistic manner, then vs now on time wasting and time trade-offs (was that Facebook time, a century ago, spent doing something that has been heavily automated away today?).
I've never needed to. I don't think I've ever been with a non-mobile consumer ISP that rotated IPs enough for it to mayyer. Maybe if I took the modem offline for more than a week or if I move, but that's the only times I've ever had to update the necessary IP addresses.

It's still not a great fix, of course, because DDNS still causes outages while intermediate servers wait for their TTLs to expire and caches to clear, which means your record could point to the wrong IP for at least one minute per switch. That's fine for a mail server, but not great for other applications that don't handle servers dropping from the network so we'll.

No compiler has some branch in it that says "if your program contains UB, maximally aggravate the developer." Compilers don't make your programs wipe your hard drive. It is literally just that the logic of the compiler may produce incorrect results based on assumptions it makes about your program.

The answer might surprise you a bit.

Aspirin reduce inflammatory response, which testosterone also do. The more likely reason why Aspirin helps to improve lifespans in men is that it steps in when testosterone has fallen through aging, stepping in to do the role of testosterone. High inflammatory response can be quite deadly, especially in connection with cardiovascular problems (a common cause of death for men).

17αEstradiol is a weaker form of estrogen. Men that has either too high or too low amount of estrogen has an significant increase in heart failure. When testosterone goes down during old age, estrogen tend to also go down as estrogen is produced in men through converting testosterone. Again it seems that the drug can help by stepping in after a fall in testosterone.

NDGA (nordihydroguaiaretic acid) is an xenohormone that imitates estrogen. See above about estrogen.
