> To my knowledge only the ten commandments are considered divinely dictated

Both the entire text and the composition into the canon are pretty universally (within Christianity) considered divinely inspired (even by groups that disagree on what the entire text of the canon is.) The exact meaning of that inspiration and the degree to which it admits human error is...variable across different interpretations of Christianity.

The text of the decalogue as recorded—in more than one place, and not identically—in the Bible generally isn't considered any differently than the rest of the text. The text as it was inscribed on the stone tablets may be, but it's pretty clear that the human authors of the relevant Scripture didn't all correct their text with the tablets.
Human beings learn to regulate their body temperature by being exposed to it. They're out in the cold without clothes because that's their choice. When their body is past its ability to stay warm, they'll ask for clothes. We check in with them and have warm clothes available for them when this is going on. We also have learned from other cultures that live in much colder climates to watch for the second shiver. The thinking is that the first one is the body relaxing into the cold as it warms up and the second one is the body shivering to create more warmth than it can from simply relaxed breathing. This tracks with my experiences in the cold.

Cold exposure is necessary for thriving. In the US, there's a culture of fear of cold exposure. It helps build up immunity and simply the basic operation of self-regulation.

Years of depending on clothes and machines to regulate our body temperatures seems to be leading to less resilience, not more.
Cost is a huge one, but availability and service priority is a big one for me: Amazon and Microsoft are going to provide service and choose to deploy updates and do maintenance on schedules that work for them, not schedules that work for you.

Your in-house IT department knows not to take a risk the week before your big product launch. Amazon and Microsoft simply do not care about your product launch at all, and probably aren't even aware of it.

You're going to pay for infrastructure and IT staff either way, so why not pay for IT staff and infrastructure that prioritizes your business needs and not their own business needs?
What is a meta framework? This is the first time I heard this term.

I experienced this a lot in India, some part of eastern Europe and Balkan. Most of them asked nicely. Told me that they come from a very small town there is not much chances to meet foreigner. And I usually ok with it. Don't find it is racist. It is just curiosity of other culture.
When people talk about the cost of cloud, there’s some assumptions we need to state:

A. Does your workload fully utilize 100% of the capacity of the resource? If not, then cloud would be cheaper. Just like if you only need office space for a few people, it’s not cost effective to buy an entire office building. If you only need server with a few gigs of RAM, it’s not cost effective to buy (own) an entire physical server.

B. If you are going to fully utilize a resource and don’t want to purchase/own it - then a service provider needs to provide that asset to you around cost and make margin from the efficiency from scale they have. Example, it’s actually more expensive for me to buy all of the ingredients to make a hamburger than to simply buy a fully prepared hamburger for McDonalds. McDonald’s is able to provide this due to their scale.

What I’ve seen is that when you’re in Group B, many people are finding that AWS/etc is way more expensive. Essentially, their scale in efficiency is not being passed down to the customer in cost savings. And the sizable cost premium is not worth the value received in return.

I’ll give a good example of where this does make sense, and that’s Hetzner or OVH. Their scale allows them to procure & host dedicated servers at a price I’d be difficult to match doing it myself. Or even if I could beat their price, it would be minimally. But folks are finding that with AWS/etc, that premium is extreme and that’s where the equation is unbalanced for folks.

Yes, that’s right. I wanted to highlight that this is a peer-reviewed article published in one of the top statistical journals.
Same, I really want JS to have ML ecosystem like Python as well.
Thanks, I guess I missed some context. A billionaire, he is. A happy human being? A useful addition to society? I mean, all your examples have controversies but this one seems to stand out. Speaking of outliers: it lacks statistical analysis. I don't think anyone would argue a man not raised by their biological father cannot be successful (if we describe billionaire or POTUS as successful). Rather, what is the % of highly successful compared to men being raised by their biological father highly successful. We can at least apply statistical analysis on that, combined with a definition of successful (cause mine is guaranteed different because mine includes ethics and values it much higher than power or networth); we can't on autism because of undiagnosed people, while diagnosis also denotes some kind of impact or severity (incentive to become true positive). Ie. there are likely loads of people on the spectrum yet functioning (false negative). Then there's those who can't afford a diagnosis (false negative), and then there's the misdiagnosed (false positive/negative).
I take it you discount everything associated with Isaac Newton as well.
> Am I just ignorant?

No. Economics academia is an "emperor's new clothes" field. They generate enormous amounts of dense, complex-sounding literature, and most if it is as you describe. It's never practical.

Sometimes there are interesting models that help to understand things that happened in the past, but as a field, economics seems unable to predict anything that will happen in the future (even on a fundamental level) and therefore can't seem to graduate to the level of science.
Or just move to a shitty area that is cheaper, plenty of those around.
IME premium appliances often means new, stainless steel but still cheapest model. It's premium aesthetic not functionality.
Perhaps to you. In academia we take them seriously.
In this example you provided, if Foreign Keys are to be used by their defined name, why would we need to specify which table we're going to join here?

FROM permission p
LEFT JOIN role r WITH p->permission_role_id_fkey = r
LEFT JOIN team_role tr WITH tr->team_role_role_id_fkey = r
LEFT JOIN team t WITH tr->team_role_team_id_fkey = t
LEFT JOIN user_role ur WITH ur->user_role_role_id_fkey = r
LEFT JOIN "user" u WITH ur->user_role_user_id_fkey = u
WHERE p.id = 1;

Why should this not simply be:

FROM permission p
LEFT JOIN role r USING p.permission_role_id_fkey
LEFT JOIN team_role tr USING tr.team_role_role_id_fkey
LEFT JOIN team t USING tr.team_role_team_id_fkey
LEFT JOIN user_role ur USING ur.user_role_role_id_fkey
LEFT JOIN "user" u USING ur.user_role_user_id_fkey
WHERE p.id = 1;

The foreign keys here already define the relationships between tables.

To be clear though; there's a really good set of reasons this isn't a great idea IMO, the two simplest being:

1) Now when I'm writing queries I have to go look up the foreign key names. This isn't something that I'm often innately familiar with (unless there's a reliable naming convention; spoiler: there never seems to be). Contrasted with field names, I could easily construct half a dozen quick queries against any DB I regularly use by knowing which tables or fields are there.

2) The example you provide are actually less clear than explicitly stating the joined fields. If I have to come in and troubleshoot something down the line, I then have to spend additional time after viewing the query going in search of what the heck fields are involved in team_role_role_id_fkey, rather than just seeing that it's role.id and team_role.role_id.
Its greatest weakness is 10 different string encodings. I've always wondered what sort of bugs you could expose with a cert using videotex for the CN fields.
You can use the saute mode in the place of a stovetop pan.
One of the aspects of math papers that I dislike is how unapproachable they are if you’re unfamiliar with some of the terminology and conventions. The esoteric symbols don’t make it any easier to Google their definitions either.

For instance, what does this mean?

μ is usually the mean or average. Is “law” something else?
He might have had a visa. As someone who has driven around Eastern Europe I've talked myself across borders I wasn't permitted to cross. Border guards are humans. If you appear innocuous enough, friendly enough, and perhaps have something nice to share, e.g. cigarettes, you might get through.

I once crossed the border into [redacted] by looking like a spy. I'd tried to cross several times that day but had been turned away. It was only once I returned with a mountain of equipment visible in my vehicle that I impressed the guards enough for them to wave me through. It's a boring job most of the time, I guess.
25 years, at the most.
> Xi Jinping has turned China into a nightmare dictatorship.

That...seems to be giving him too much credit. Not saying that China under Xi isn't a nightmare dictatorship, just that if it is, he either didn't make it that way or didn't have far to go to get there.

> Every business that goes into China gets it's IP stolen, it's new business entities stolen, etc.

That description has been being made of China longer than Xi has been in power, probably from a few days after the initial euphoria of Communist China opening up to Western business wore off.
It's because the police serve the interests of the owning class, and so prioritize things such as corporate property damage and the ability for workers to get to their jobs.
Yeah I’ve seen really bad functional closures over the course of my career as well. But this just shows more of the developers’ skill than the language.

Btw it sounds like you might like Deno. Have you given it a try?
Another issue is that it artificially pumps up the market for coal mines, which would likely lead to the development and operation of unprofitable coal mines that would otherwise never be opened.

Interestingly Ruby was my first programming language but it was JS who made programming clicked for me. I think it is the curly braces. It helped my mind compartmentalize stuffs.
My datacenter has better uptime than AWS across all of 2021. Pretty sure in December alone, Amazon did worse than I've done in the past couple years combined. I have also enjoyed not being affected by various Azure or Microsoft 365-related outages throughout the year.

Scalability is a niche perk of the cloud, absolutely. I work somewhere that has a customer base that does not meaningfully scale, so it's not a concern for me. But then: Once an organization has established and has a relatively predictable scale rate, they should exit the public cloud if they can.

An established company with a stable capacity need shouldn't ever be moving to a cloud provider with a generous big tech profit margin. But that also poses a risk for the scalability of the cloud: If you don't have people overpaying for stable capacity usage, can the cloud provider afford tons of extra capacity for flexible needs?
So much bad info in this thread. Almost all new construction already uses forced air heat pump systems for energy cost reasons. Supplemental gas (or electric) heat is only turned on by the unit when it's too cold for the heat pump to function well. All this change means is that units with supplemental electric heat will be chosen over those with gas supplemental heat.

Additionally the compressors in these systems use far less than 50 amps, typically typically around 12 for a 3 ton unit.

The type of system you described is generally used for old construction where adding ducts is impractical. Because it's used for a special situation it will of course be more costly.
Notice that I didn't say it shouldn't be allowed; I said it wad wrong and would make me angry. That's an important distinction that is rarely drawn today, between what people shouldn't do and what they shouldn't be allowed to do.
This is why I always think it is funny when the topic of creating fake engine noise for electric cars for safety comes up. On a normal modern car you won’t likely hear the engine unless under heavy acceleration.
“Saute mode” is from a universal feature of electric pressure cookers, AFAIK.

It's also, while good for the particular use cases it is aimed at, not great general substitute for a proper set of stovetop cookware.
Either that or XMPP.
The issue here is that FROM, WHERE, etc., are all optional, where the operation (SELECT in this case) is not.

If it were a proposal for a SQL21 standard to offer this as an optional method for query processing, I'd be all for it.

However, the idea of "non-optional followed by optional" came from an era where that sort of thing mattered and it made sense.
This is typically discussed in terms of:

- Avoided negative externalities. FB/Google get to ignore the costs of insufficient moderation by imposing those on their users or third parties (say, the victims of the Myanmar genocide).

- Monopoly rents. By securing a position in which they are the arbiters of access control, these giants can set both prices and terms for participation.

There's another element you're suggesting to me as well, which I don't think I've seen anyone articulate before: large monopoly players such as Facebook and Google effectively emerge into a "naive environment", one in which the scale which they provide has not yet evolved threats. Any threats which do emerge co-evolve with the monopoly.

Subsequent entrants don't have this advantage. Whilst they do have the benefit of techniques for combatting such threats, they must address the threats from the beginning.

The threats might variously be spammers, various network attacks (most especially DDoS), sockpuppet and other misrepresentation and manipulation attacks, harrassment, and the usual laundry list of Trust & Safety issues.

The notion of co-evolving threats comes from biology generally, though I'd strongly recommend Kyle Harper's The Fate of Rome which postulates that civilisations (themselves social networks) and their plagues co-evolve alongside one another. I've just learned that the Santa Fe Institute crowd are fans of Harpers (Geoffrey West and David Krakauer, in a recent Complexity podcast episode), as well as Neal Stephenson.
I’m selling an AGPL licensed app that allows to access IMAP/SMTP accounts over REST (https://emailengine.app). At first I sold it in a way where AGPL version was completely free and public, but you could pay to get the same thing with a MIT-license. Turned out that no-one cared about the license, everyone was happy to use the free AGPL thing, so I changed it in a way where the app is dual licensed under AGPL and proprietary license and you need a “license key” to fully unlock it. As it’s AGPL with source code available from Github you can freely remove that license key check, just a 1-line change. It’s still a big enough of a hurdle that I’ve actually gotten some customers.

Obese is anyone with a BMI over 30, 42% of Americans are obese. It isn’t the same thing as being morbidly obese. I doubt New Zealand automatically screens out anyone with a BMI over 30. Consider that Australia itself has an obesity rate of 30% (about the same as NZ), but then Australians don’t need visas to work in Nz.
I have a few certifications.

all AWS certs are paid for by my employer through exam vouchers -- who in turn gets free/discounted exam vouchers from AWS through their partnership either directly or indirectly discounted through partner credits worth hundreds and thousands of dollars of AWS usage that we as an org definitely use up to offset our consumption bills.

I personally never paid a single dollar for AWS cert exam.

I did pay for a few AWS exam prep courses and study resources -- and some of them were reimbursed by my employer.

You don't have to renew all your expired certs if you don't see the need and you have moved on to bigger/different things in your career.

In my experience studying for a cert exam fills in gaps and brings you up to date on best practices and newer features.

I don't believe anyone's job is so broad and deep at the same time that their hands-on experience makes the certification completely redundant.

EDIT:

Here is a person sharing their experience -- he/she may be overdoing it with the number of certs but they are looking at certs as a means to learn more beyond their current job role and look for career growth

https://www.reddit.com/r/AWSCertifications/comments/ks28yi/7...

If nothing, the knowledge from the certs give you the necessary footing to approach your next project/job with the right mindset in areas your previous experience may not have exposed you to.

As someone who’s lived in China since 2012 up until the present day, things have changed markedly in the last few years, and especially since ~April of last year once it became clear that China was handling the pandemic better than the rest of the world.

Most people are still ok, but some fraction of the population has a mixture of fear and hatred of foreigners. They think foreigners are dangerous because we bring the virus. Far fewer places accept foreigners than before.

And if this was a deliberate decision that Microsoft refused to undo, I’d be as outraged as everyone else here would be.

But it wasn’t, and they did undo it, and I found their response impressively civilized and professional. So I’m not really understanding why everyone seems to want to hold this guy accountable for all the shitty stuff Microsoft could have done, didn’t do, and apparently did in the past.
It might help to discuss what presence is. A well known book on drawing, "Drawing, Space, Form, & Expression, discusses the fundamental nature of art. According to this book presence (essential to art) gives emphasis to the distinctive characteristics of a thing (in your case an executive) while avoid caricature. It's not just that you must express these characteristics. You must give them emphasis.

So what are the distinctive characteristics of an executive? 1) appearance: a fine well fitting suit, impeccable grooming, and disciplined posture. 2) well controlled speech: sparse words focused on the essential issue at hand, restraint from saying too much else for fear of saying something stupid, and voice: slow, well articulated, and spoken in a low register. No doubt there are others. Again it's not just that you conform to these characteristics. You must find ways to give them subtile emphasis without descending into caricature by overdoing it.

Is this being phony? I don't think so. This gives emotional support to subordinates and increases their confidence in the group effort. These are legitimate core functions of leadership.

I feel that people want to point out just how much more work remains because it can potentially be one of those wishful thinking-blockers for climate action.

Fusion power will continue to be high on our agenda and it should but it should never be seen as a solution for climate change because that is wishful thinking. Fixing climate change has a much tighter timescale than we can expect for fusion power.

My understanding is that one of the major critiques of statistics, especially its use in psychology, has been the use of models which are derived from the mean.

There are inherent flaws/assumptions to this approach which Peter Molenaar has done extensive work to critique (See Todd Rose's book on the subject). For anyone who understands the technique presented in this paper, does it also depend on the mean as a model like when calculating Pearson's r?
Yup. Plus if you were plugged in enough, you knew about OSUNY BBS, telenet and hidden places to exchange messages like WSMR. The phreaks were everywhere. Uh, so I'm told. cough
Owning as the only housing model doesn’t make sense. There’s plenty of reasons someone might prefer to rent instead, most of them having to do with not being in a position to put down roots. Which necessitates some kind of landlord.
> PS: most 20 years old cars are death traps compared to current cars, I’m not sure it’s a good advice to push people to keep using them for that long.

That's very exagerated. 20 years is 2001 (2002 models, really). By then you had really good ABS, modern airbags (not the early 90s type), often good traction control, crash structures. Anything added since it's either mostly unnecessary or just asymptotically incremental.

20 years isn't "that long", the useful lifetime of a car is way more than that.
I read somewhere PHEV users don’t really bother charging effectively making them even worse than gas guzzlers.
