The Army has moved in the last three years to a market-based assignment system like you describe. It might be addressing some organizational problems, but not really this one.

I think the fundamental problem is that the Army doesn't value technical work enough to pay for senior people to fill technical positions. There is no technical career path for individual contributors. Officers (the only people paid something comparable to engineers in the civilian world) are in management positions from the very beginning of their career, so they get almost zero experience doing technical things as individual contributors. This leaves us with no senior leaders qualified to be in charge of technical things (like Mr. Chaillan said) nor any senior technical individual contributors to advise them and do the work.
I don't think Budesonide is a biologic, is it? As far as I'm aware it's an expensive steroid that often has many fewer side-effects.
There's another axis - is the peanut butter and jelly mixed before it's put on the bread?
You need 13-15kw just to start a 5-ton AC unit.

4000 sqft house with high humidity 90 deg summer days (so anywhere in the SE US) will need at least 8-tons of AC, so 2 units, and that's ~24kw right there if you need to cool the whole house.

But the more common practice is to run just one of your two units and then have plenty of room to run all the small wattage things in the house without needing to actively budget power.

Having lived through more than a few week+ outages in Jul/Aug/Sept heat (including 3, 6, and 8 week outages), I certainly see the value if you can afford it.

Comfortable, but not necessarily extravagant.

ETA: We also learned our lesson relying on NG and converted to dual fuel with a 2-week supply of propane.
I don't care about your personal levels of reasonableness; I care about the normalisation of progressive policies, and puritans keep people from learning about and exploring progressivism; I know because it kept me away for a long time, thinking progressives are all unreasonable.

"we shouldn't celebrate bigots" is reductionist because it narrows important people down to a single dimension. That's puritanism - if somebody invents a cure for cancer and saves billions of lives, they should be celebrated for that achievement even if they have bad racial views, because from a consequential perspective people want to be celebrated and are inspired by the idea of being considered a hero for breakthroughs in their field. You can simultaneously celebrate and condemn a single person, it's called nuance - and the conversation around an individual is not solely shaped by the placard on their statue.

Care to implement the W3C or WATWG browser spec over the next week?

How many independent browser engine variants are viable today? Three?

Ramping the difficulty of that problem has specifically limited choice and options.

One class of devices (iOS) mandates a single browser engine (Webkit / Safari). Android has a slight pretense of greater openness, but bundles Chrome into most apps.

And further, "standards of their time" has a particular frame. By the standards of enslaved people, slavery was terrible. When people say that slavery was not considered evil by the standards of the time they are saying by the standards of white people who benefited from a slavery-based economy.

Not sure what definition of spice you're using, but Wikipedia calls it "a plant substance primarily used for flavoring food", which garlic definitely is.

there wasn't - to be absolutely clear, I don't think the generals of a breakaway slave-state should be celebrated. Hot take, I know.

There's a significant difference between a statue to Robert E Lee and a statue to Churchill (or, say, a stained-glass celebration of this Fisher guy).

You're correct, budesonide is not a biologic, it is a corticosteroid. "Biologic" was most likely in reference to inflectra / infliximab.

Wow. I checked and its true. Largest capacity is around 24000 TEU (Twenty foot long containers, though 40 foot long ones are also used)

Its mind boggling how mich energy is spent in transporting stuff around the world. They produce 2.2% of green house gases (as on 2012), poised to grow from 50 to 250% till 2050. And this does not include further transport downstream to consumers.

Clearly concentrated manufacturing is environmentally disasterous. These are the kinds of challenges Silicon Valley ought to solve. Creating new technology to enable hyperlocal manufacturing.
It sure looks like they put it on the network and made transactions with it.
This is how it's been though. Before the supermarkets and malls there were just markets and corner grocery stores and Main Streets. But those mostly existed in walkable cities, and when they started being depopulated a generation ago the new suburban supermarkets and department stores and malls ate their lunch.

When the flow started going back into cities again during the '00s, a bunch of firms like Walmart and Target thought they would have a go at operating smaller "urban" stores but that seems to have had mixed results. Retail's a tough business.

Isn't it easier to discuss things when looking at actual stats? https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/nypd/downloads/pdf/crime_statist...

Year to date (stats from this week) show that NYC is still at historic lows for crime rate. Total rate of crime is up 3% this year, but down -6% over 11 years, and -77% over 28 years.

Most crime that's up is forms of theft. The biggest thing to note for grand larceny auto, is that the normal number is very low, and its 28 year rate is the most historically low (down 90.8%), so any change in the numbers is going to look dramatic.

I wonder why NYPost is posting about the dramatic increase in robbery (Up 3% year to date), but not about hate crimes (up 96% year to date)?
That is basically what caused the minecraft craftbukkit server drama. Their distribution contains modified priority code from mojang. And contributions are in GPL. Some contributor decides to use GPL to claim server source code (while obviously they can't). And there is obviously no way to fix the situation. Ends up as the craftbukkit server repo dead forever.
you never scrutinized what they "cleaned up" did you?

I'm not sure what makes you the authority of valid answers in this topic but as someone who has tried movie their extended family to Matrix, I'd take that option with a grain of salt. It's a lot more complicated than choosing the objectively best product.
This is something I would support (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29401254). At least for me, and probably for (many?) others this would bring the issue from intolerable "fight-or-flight for your life" level, to a much more manageable "oh well, stupid govt is at it again". It is much harder to get suicidal over an extra tax, so the tension will deflate markedly. An extortion act is quickly forgotten, while physical violence is not easily forgiven.
There's victim blaming and then there's practical actionable advice. The latter is empowering, I'm not sure why there is such a strong reaction against it. "Here is a risk that you face. Here are some things you could do to reduce that risk." Great, sounds good to me.

Telling a child not to get into a stranger's car is not victim blaming, is it?

How about advising a person to wear a mask in public to reduce their chance of getting sick?
yes, I personally am not into gaming at all. "Among us" is a goofy game that I'm terrible at. I've found that having some structure to hangouts by having a very simple thing to do together has made the actual bonding part much better.
Yeah, a violent coup attempt that resulted in the death of a police officer and one of his terrorist supporters is not unusual or awful.

Food for thought, you are a fucking moron.
Agreed, works great for my groups!
AFAIK TI has always been very opensource friendly. All their SOCs are mainlined and maintained including pretty old ones.

Now if Broadcom starts to be opensource friendly then that would be a real change of heart.
ANTLR is LL, but not sure how that stacks up against LR in yacc in terms of speed.
I don't think it's about familiarity at all. I think it's about mapping domain knowledge to users tasks with as little friction and unnecessary complication as possible.

You might think that's the same thing as familiarity with existing software, but it really isn't.

For example: Cubase. You can do a lot with it, but it's a mess of accreted features with some bizarre near-duplications, all splattered around almost randomly. A good few are entirely hidden. You won't find them unless you read the manual and/or watch a video - if you can find it.

A lot of people use it, but it's not a model you'd want to copy.

Ableton Live is more of a mix. Some features are very intuitive, some are less so. But someone has at least thought about typical task-based workflows and tried to minimise the number of UI entities and clicks required to perform them.

None of this is mysterious. The principles of good UI design are well known: minimise clicks, minimise pages, minimise the number of entities that users need to remember, avoid multiple access points for features, avoid hidden modes and secret key combinations (unless it's a command-line app, sort of), group related features, concentrate on implementing the most common tasks with as little friction as possible, avoid constant mode switching, avoid long lists of unrelated items, try to handle windows and dialogs intelligently to avoid clutter, make all operations as consistent as possible, follow general OS and industry standards. (Etc.)

Of course software is specialised and if you don't know anything about DAWs - or photo editing, or 3D - you're going to have to climb a learning curve.

But domain basics are standard. If you know them a good intuitive tool should be able to make them available with as little friction as possible. And a really good tool will anticipate what you're trying to do and make it even easier than you were expecting it to be.

That said, the hivemind has certain rather predictably-popular themes. I wish myself it would steer more substantive, but site mechanics make that challenging.

Most breakfast cereals have what I would consider low fiber - like 3g. Milk with lactose also isn’t a great choice for a lot of people.

I’ve never heard of a low fiber diet for IBS. In fact the first dietary suggestion on the non-profit IFFGD’s website is to increase fiber intake:

https://aboutibs.org/treatment/ibs-diet/dietary-fiber/

I have heard of people having problems with fiber if they rapidly increase intake or if they don’t drink enough water. I target 1.5 to 2 gallons of water per day.

As you said, everyone is different but you’re just the first one I’ve heard aided by a low fiber diet.
if they are willing to give such a good simulator away for free, why not show off the source as well?

Because giving away the source code to their simulator doesn't make any business sense in the way giving a Linux kernel driver does.

Giving away LTSPICE is an effort to commoditize their complements. The complement to an opamp is a high quality simulation model. The complement to a high speed data converter is a working Linux driver for JESD204B. Both decrease the effort involved for ADI's customer to use ADI's parts.

Giving away LTSpice source code doesn't achieve a similar aim.
Or, instead of completely cleaning up the city, merely claimed credit for nationwide demographic trends that started 3-4 years before said mayor ever ran for office and continued since.

I have a feeling that your stipulations may cost you the contract.
I'm not sure how you got from "it's a good idea to try, but terrible to mandate universally" to "do anything you feel like", but it's a very uncharitable interpretation of what I said.

My point is that restricting yourself solely to the particular set of things you can understand quantitatively with all the real world practicalities that entails is limiting. Other than that one word, we're in complete agreement.
It is commonly speculated that the Darwinian "10% off the bottom" layoffs were one of the reasons why Enron had so many failings as a company (fear of getting laid off led to dishonest dealing and creative accounting) and that is supposedly one reason why it fell apart.

By arguing that effective, innovative companies get rid of dead weight, anyone making the argument needs to confront that there are obvious cases where this isn't true, and that it creates perverse incentives.

As for the topic in general, I'm of a mixed opinion about similar government services. The mail service in Canada is overpriced and feels poorly run (like most everything that is Federally run in Canada), but Japan Post was excellent the whole time I lived in Tokyo. Finding what works and reproducing them makes a lot of sense to me.
People who are healthier have more muscle mass but adding muscle mass doesn't make you healthier. Muscle mass is a signal of health not a cause. You can look at bodybuilding lifespan for proof. Lots of bodybuilders die young despite adding on enormous amounts of muscle.

You can see the same with testosterone. Men with higher testosterone live longer but giving people testosterone doesn't increase lifespan.
Linkedin and Medium are cesspools of circle-self-pleasure.

They are communities of job seekers and job providers who are constantly trying to showcase their skills or scouting for talent.

When was the last time you thought you could speak your mind on Linkedin?

Also, I have a special place of hatred in my heart for linkedin because the news feed is a reflection of corporate bootlicking and corporate promotion that borders on insane.

They cannot be compared to Twitter, which is clearly anonymous (if the user wants such) and more open.
Good luck onboarding one's grandma to any of those.

I don't know what their views are on those matters - I don't think there's a lot of documentary evidence. (I also picked those two people because I'm American and I grew up Methodist and I happened to have read about both of them recently; my point is very much that it wasn't only these two people who were the only non-bigots of the 1700s, and I'm sure we can find similar stories from whatever segment of history you're interested in, too.)

I also think the question here isn't really about bigots by modern standards. Bp. Coke makes it clear that Col. Bedford was a terrible man by the standards of the time, so much so that he didn't say a single positive thing about him at his funeral and he was quite glad that God had killed him off. Morris thinks the slavers of his era were working "in defiance of the most sacred laws of humanity" and the slaveholders of the south were putting people in "the most cruel bondages".

Ronald Fisher died in 1962. He was a contemporary of such people as MLK and Rosa Parks, just as much as he was a contemporary of Josef Mengele. He was one of many participated in the drafting of the 1950 UNESCO statement on "The Race Question," and out of those, he was one of very few who insisted on the reasonableness of dividing up the human population by race, both in terms of biological nature and in terms of moral worth. The article is not asking about modern standards of bigotry; his colleagues in 1950 would have called him a bigot.

Nobody is trying to cancel Herod for not being a fan of neopronouns. There were enough reasons for Herod's own contemporaries to call him evil.

That said, since you mention trans issues - you might be interested in the story of the Public Universal Friend (1752-1819), who among other things insisted on being referred to in a gender-neutral manner and generally had that wish honored. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Universal_Friend

I think people were much less concerned about this sort of thing in the past when they were not told to be concerned about it. See also the 1952 New York Daily News headline, "Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty," subtitled "Bronx Youth Is a Happy Woman After 2 Years, 6 Operations." https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx-army-vet-ground-b... (see the original headline at https://www.newspapers.com/clip/25375703/ex-gi-becomes-blond...) The article straightforwardly refers to her as "she" and a "new woman" and says the conversion was "successfully completed," noting also that her military and immigration records were changed. To be abundantly clear, I am sure that Christine Jorgensen would have been much happier to have been alive today and going through transition today instead of seventy years ago - but I also think the anti-trans bigotry that we see today from certain corners is not the remnant of a universal worldview of seventy years ago. Some fraction of people were bigots in the past, as they are today; many people weren't and aren't.

(Of course, also, part of this is that scientific studies of gay rights and trans issues at the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft were burned by the same folks that Fisher decided to defend in 1950.)
One dApp (or whatever blockchain application) I would love to see some traction is liquid democracy, from a government POV. The votecoin or adhocracy4 experiments exist but were not even in the right ballpark for a federal voting system that bypasses or changes Congress and constitution at its roots. I can see this huge someday, as zero trust is great and all, but it is a huge effort nobody has really started.
As a lifelong NYC resident: the NYPost is a completely unreliable narrator when it comes to just about any city statistics.

Investment bank policies, written by the paranoid generationally wealthy from their out-of-city homes, are similarly unreliable.

Some forms of crime are up year over year- in part because NYC was deserted last year- but nearly all forms of crime on 5, 10, 20 and 30 year timeframes are way, way down.

My teenage girl children are free to roam around the city at nearly all hours in ways that would have been unthinkable when I was their age. It is incredible how safe NYC is.

There IS, however, a very sad upswing of mentally ill on the streets and subways. They may frighten tourists, but are harmless, worthy of help and pity. It is shameful that none of the pervasive enormous construction projects are going to facilitate homing them, even considering the trickle down.

Cheers.
The price is not being determined on the open market, Tether's whole job is to maintain the peg at 1-to-1. Contrary to the FUD that is being recycled in here on all Tether topics, Tether doesn't print new money just because they feel like it, they do it in response to the demand for USDT in order to maintain the price at $1.

Yesterday cryptos crashed hard, people started moving out of their crypto positions and into stablecoins. Demand for stablecoins increased bringing their price > $1. Tether printed USDT and exchanged them for USD (and put the USD into their reserves) in order to bring the price down and maintain the peg. When the opposite happens they will sell some of their USD reserves for USDT.

My proposal is ridiculously simple. All it requires is to standardize a single tag in the email protocol which provides a public key and agrees on a particular public key method. That's it.

Email apps can support it, or not, it still works. Even if just gmail supported it, or Thunderbird, or Outlook, it will be viable.

I'm all for hating on Ajit, but from a cursory look at the prison case, the FCC just never really had the jurisdiction to regulate intrastate calls and repeatedly lost in court on that question. There was already a 50 cent cap on interstate calls under Pai, and this year under Rosenworcel it's been lowered to 14-21 cents[1].
