The plastic formulation for some Lego factories is not up to spec, this has resulted in a very large number of complaints. For instance, it isn't rare at all to see brand new 1x1's and minifig bodies that are cracked on one side just by building the set and letting it sit, which in the past really would have never ever happened.

"For our health" is a dangerously low burden in countries with a history of mass subjugation. No clue how Australian's view their own history though.
I like the homebuilding metaphor very much :)

To torture it a bit further... I like to start with a 1 room cabin + dirt driveway after I've made sure the lot is big and flat enough to expand in the future. Hard to know if you like the neighborhood without living there for a bit!
Even if you don't agree with the coding practices, at least it enforces consistency throughout the code base. It might not be the consistency that you desire, but it much better than every author having their own style.

No one mentions indexing the content as a really important part of logging your notes?
I once made a software distribution system for software with thousands of files in a huge directory tree using rclone. I'd upload it all to S3 and then clients could run an update script that used rclone to sync just the changed files. No server needed. A better solution probably exists but I couldn't find any other system at the time that could work directly from S3 or any other dumb file host and still selectively sync only changed files.

You don't need to be in the top 10%, you just need to be likely to be able to repay your loans.

Government subsidizes home loans, student loans, and small business loans to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars a year through the Fed's asset purchase program. The reason broke people can't get anything better than a 10%+ APR credit card is because they're so unlikely to repay the loan that the issuer has to charge that much interest to break even.

I actually took a look at my banking app and I'm offered "personal loans" up to $20k at under 6%, which is actually incredible considering this is an unsecured loan to a random person.
From 1860 to 2016 the number of Asian Americans increased from 34,000 to over 20,000,000, according to U.S. census data [1]. The vast majority of that increase took place since 1950, which only recorded a population of 300,000.

Those long established Chinese families represent a tiny minority of Asian American university students. The vast majority are international students or first generation immigrants.

There is a documented phenomenon called the Photo-Taking-Impairment Effect, where taking photos of something can reduce your ability to recall details about it at a later date. It was originally theorized that it was a sort of 'cognitive offloading', but further tests have shown that reviewing and deleting the photos does not make up for the deficit.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S22113...

I remember finishing a complex math test in high school and checking my calculator's memory to find that I had done some rather simple single digit multiplication that I had no recollection of. Ever since then I've tried to be conscious of what I offload and what the long term consequences might be. For example, I'm confident that my ability to spell has decreased as spellcheck technology had advanced.

I'm not recommending against keeping a log. In fact I keep several myself. I use google keep for simple things that I eventually want to forget. I use anki flash cards for spaced repetition study of short concepts that I want to remember. I use oneNote for sprawling interconnected datasets. And lastly, I used waldenpond.press to print and bind stories and articles that I want to remember and revisit.

I just think that there is a risk to haphazardly externalizing more and more of your cognition. I started a new carrier 5 years ago, and found that many of my skills had atrophied over the years. I think I spent more time in my first 6 months relearning abilities I had taken for granted 10 years earlier than my new job duties.
I'm not sure the best equilibrium is "I can barely get enough work to fill my time".

That's a very brittle position. Better to have some buffer and then you're able to turn away jobs you don't like. Maybe you leave 10% on the table, but if times get lean you don't want all of your prospects to dry up because "That guy charges way too much".
Evil mode makes org-mode very approachable for anyone familiar with vim. Grab doom emacs or spacemacs if you want it to just work.

Also, Elegant[1] is an attractive and simple config. It would probably be worth packaging it or something very similar up with CUA bindings and marketing it as just a standalone notetaking app with Emacs just being an implementation detail.

They own "only" 40% of Epics shares from what I can gather.
These EU law worries seem to be blown put of proportion.

But EU law is (while not legally required) most of the time adopted by consensus. I.e. a No by any EU gov can block a bill more or less indefinitely - certainly no one will try to outvote Germany or France on an important bill.

I have a lot of experience with this question, having launched both in-house / outsourced contact centers and built products for these teams.

There are a lot of "it depends" factors here - what is the actual product; contact rate; size/scale of your biz; time horizon you're solving for; specific types of issues being supported; cost of customer churn.

I was giving a purposefully high estimate on the household side, and an easily exceeded estimate on the restaurant side -- a Denny's or Waffle House is probably higher, a McDonald's is probably much lower.

That said, waffles and scrambled eggs are not an impossible breakfast, and if you also make bread and ice cream that day, two dozen is plausible. But that's unlikely to happen every day.
I'd definitely caution people away from Amplify. I use it for small projects -- one offs where I don't particularly care about performance, maintainability, or bundle size. For those sorts of low stakes use cases, it's probably fine.

I'm not sure how much I'm saving over just using the CDK and a lighter weight set of libraries. Maybe nothing.

But for a larger project, it would be an absolutely nightmare to use. Even on my small projects I'm constantly fighting it to play nice with modern JS infrastructure. Want to run Vite + Svelte + Amplify? Get ready for some headaches (or at the very least, tons of compiler warnings and huge bundle sizes.)

The documentation is strongly, strongly geared towards the happy path experience, and if you aren't using React + the blessed service infra, you are going to hit sharp edges and lack of documentation immediately.

You could already run SQL on Parquet with DuckDB (even on Java).
I believe it already used Arrow under the hood to read the Parquet files, could be wrong tho, but this is a more memory performant integration which is great.
Wouldn't the companies that allow this "managerial diversion" quickly fall behind competitors that did not allow it?

Companies also have different ratios of managers to employees. If managers drag down productivity wouldn't you expect to see much flatter orgs in successful companies.
I disagree that "too many" people are going to college. That's a canard which defends the artificial exclusivity of education. The vast majority of people are capable of learning algebra, and geometry, and calculus, and in a timely manner, when empowered by conscientious and effective instruction. It is also true that many students - particularly black and Latino students - are place in the contradictory situation of urgently needing a credential that they were not trained correctly to earn. This has nothing to do with their capability, and everything to do with the dysfunctional system that their intellectual growth is beholden to.

So while I appreciate the sympathetic elements of your reply, I have to point out that the root of your argument is a baseless suspicion of the cognitive capabilities of students of color. Yes, requiring knowledge that has been systematically denied, effectively on the basis of race, in order to obtain a credential that is necessary to earn a dignified living, is a form of racism. And we will need to "change things" to fix that.
Yes, please see Chapter 5 "Human Homeostasis" on page 56. It is principled on the belief that biological tissue is piezoelectrical and forms electrical motion which is patterned - please see Chapter 1 section VII "Piezoelectricity in Biological Physical Matter" page 47:

There is a preponderance of available evidence on the piezoelectric properties of biological matter. According to Chen-Glasser et al, Eiichi Fukada demonstrated piezoelectric effects in major human physiological tissue, such as in bone and muscle.[55][56] Fukada’s biological examination demonstrates the intrinsic nature of piezoelectric effects in the building blocks of cellular life: proteins. Proteins, when considered to be digital control outputs of cellular replication stability, are genome expressions of amino acids –with at least 15 demonstrating piezoelectric properties. It is the reorientation and change in dipole moments in biological macromolecules under stress that causes piezoelectricity, hypothetically as an effect of the dipolebmoments causingbelectromagnetic resonances to naturally occur.[57]

> the workers who are the key to unlocking the productivity growth

What makes you say that?

> Why increase productivity when your pay doesn’t increase?

You're conflating two things - industry-wide pay changes (which any individual worker's productivity-related decisions have ~zero influence on) and individual pay changes, which are in fact determined (partially) by individual productivity.
Humans have broken the fundamental law of sustainability.

There are simply just too many humans. All of our other problems derive from that.

And yet the solution is relatively simple. Restrict the number of babies to "One per Woman" until we get down to a world population of around one billion.
To elaborate: red blood cells are the only part of the body that absolutely must use glucose, and they're not incredibly metabolically active.
SOLID[0] is always somewhere to start if you really have no idea where to begin understanding what makes code more maintainable. There are plenty of books out there, but those can be a minefield in terms of knowing which ones to really commit energy to learning. The only real answer that I know of here is personal experience though.

I'm still struggling trying to understand why YouTube decided to hide the dislike count.

For what it's worth, this is addressed in 2.1, which is only out in beta. Maybe should have been there from the start.
Nothing is stopping those other platforms from becoming more popular over time, or from improving their interface or usability.

Being popular is not the same as having a monopoly. Youtube doesn't control infrastructure, they can't prevent users from watching other sites or hosting videos elsewhere. They're not granted special privilege by a government. We've just convinced ourselves for the sake of political narrative that these platforms have far greater power than they actually do.
Look up which 2 countries consistently vote to continue enforcing Cold War era sanctions on Cuba.

It doesn't.

Weight is a direct results of the calorie equation.

Appetite is regulated by a bunch of different factors. Actually, when you think about it, someone could live just fine being constantly hungry (so completely broken appetite signals) in a food scarce environment.
>I will admit that the solution is not so simple as my anecdote might suggest

So, no. Please read carefully and avoid kneejerk responses.
This example proves the opposite of what you appear to intend. Amazon is the more expensive channel. Of course they would want to force the in-person hamburger price up to $15, so no one gets off his ass and walks down the block when he craves a hamburger. Doordash or whoever don't have the market power to do that now. If somehow they gained such market power (say a worse covid strain appears and only their drivers get to deliver food?), that would harm both consumers and restaurants, helping only the abusive rent-seeking middleman. Free people don't have to abide this kind of shit.

This has been illegal in USA since 1890. The only hope for Amazon is to hire every decent economic torts lawyer in the nation before e.g. Shopify get their act together. This is open-and-shut restraint of trade. Given the sums involved, it might actually be possible that a year or two could pass when Bezos doesn't get even more stinking rich...
> Black text on white background (#000 on #fff) used to be standard on computer displays

Aside from computers with built in (e.g., early Macs) or external TV-style displays that had no color support (e.g., Timex Sinclair 1000), and later Macs even though they had color support, that doesn't seem to have ever been common, even on other machines of the same time.

EDIT: It was common on word processing, desktop publishing, and some other apps once WYSIWYG became a big trend, but that was pretty explicitly about print-on-white-paper skeumorphism, not an idea of what was ideal for work on a computer outside of the specific context of mirroring what print would look like.

Wow, this is the exact experience I had.

Not only were all the issues you mentioned common, but the quality of their libraries(JS in my case) were just horrendous. At one point there was a run time crash in their blob storage library whenever you listed an empty bucket. I tracked the root cause down to one of their devs intentionally casting away type information(`as any` in typescript) and thus not realizing there were more cases than they were handling. This somehow passed code review and testing and was published.

It was absolutely horrendous. We barely moved a millimeter because we were constantly slowed down by their tooling. I wrote a very long issue about this and just got some community representative who assured me who would do <a series of vague, non-committal promises>.

Shortly thereafter we changed to GCP and Firebase and we were at feature parity in no time and moving fast after that.
Don't hold your breath on that last one. Fake reviews are good for Amazon, so they will continue unabated.
The question is which system exacerbates inequality the least: On the one hand we have a well-known system with objective answers and a widely available study catalog, and on the other hand we have a system that largely involves administrators applying their subjective discretion to which extra-curriculars or essay is "best".

Probably i don't watch any of the YouTubers you're watching either - the long tail is exactly why people watch YouTube (and maybe a handful of 10k-1M subscriber channels) rather than, or in addition to, TV programme and streamable shows that are modeled after it that are less niche.

The main point of that list was: there are multiple platforms that try to be a "YouTube for people who don't like YouTube, for a point in time when YouTube gets horrible", with some people creating content there, and e.g. odysee lets creators sync their videos so you get exactly the same videos from them on YT and on Odysee. But for most creators this is still additional work for little benefit since their main audience is on YT.
Capitalism may be the best economic model. The only alternative is a non-economic model: post-scarcity. A world where there's an abundance of goods and resources would have no need to economize at all.

The internet is an example. Data is abundant and can be copied and distributed infinitely at virtually no cost. People actually have to impose artificial scarcity on data in order to retrofit an economic system into the virtual world.

The main difference is that with positive rights the government will defend your rights from others, while negative rights you are on your own to defend your rights from others. For example, if Google infringes someone's rights to free speech the government can intervene if it was a positive declaration, but with a negative declaration the government doesn't care since it only says that the government can't infringe on that right.

This contributed to my later success, but it generally would not - and, to my recollection, doesn't - explain the massive jump in grade. The main difference was a more conscientious teacher and an environment that facilitated better study habits. The second time, unlike the first, I was not forced to fight my teacher's low expectations and lack of support in addition to learning the material.

I don't know, humans exist, comparative to the most granular levels of reality, at a macroscopic level. That leaves plenty of room for lost detail in a simulated universe within ours that being at our scale would never really notice.

Separately, how do you know that we aren't prone to getting stuck? We all do sometimes-- how would we ever know if it's more or less than "normal" in an non-simulated universe?

Carrol is a physicist so he may have more technical reasoning grounded in physics-- I don't know-- but it sounds like a rhetorical rather than scientific justification.
This is why Socrates refused to write things down. As he said, writing is a crutch for memory. Just as a man who leans on crutches will have his legs atrophy, so will one who relies on writing have his recall atrophy.

I on the other hand am a prolific notetaker because my recall isn’t eidetic as it was when I was younger and I need the crutch to operate at the level I became accustomed to.

I recently noticed in the rclone source tree[0] that they are working on making “librclone”. I would love it if they exposed the rclone internals as a library as the only other solutions (e.g. bita, zsync, librsync) still require a fair bit of tedium to use as a generic application updater.
