My point was that it is not productive to compare a la carte business models to all you can eat business models.

If you want to compare DVD rental to renting a movie on Apple/Google Play/Amazon, that would make more sense.
Doctors, police, nurses and home health aides directly harm the public they serve by not getting vaccinated. They are themselves more at risk to spread the virus in higher viral load quantities over longer periods of time and are more at risk of death themselves. They should be fired and not coddled for taking a stance against modern medicine.

I've seen both of the Wolf Warrior films as well. I was curious how they would handle the size/physical strength disparity with the presumably-former-spec-ops American mercenaries. I like the approach taken, where the Chinese protagonists overcome them with agility and dexterity.

As an American, and one who has to deal with the Chinese military as an adversary on a regular basis, I still enjoyed these movies.
Oh right, good point.

Hey, techietim thanks for the library. Sorry to hear you are not using mumble any more. The bridge has worked great for myself and my group over the last year. We definitely felt the presure to move to Discord before the bridge but now we just point people at our Discord server, which we call "Not Mumble" and everything works out great. If you every want to give MDB a try shoot me a message and would be more than happy to help. Although having read through the gumble library I'm sure you could fire it all up in no time. Thanks again.

It's basically a restatement of common sense -- if you don't know it was happening why should you be liable? But if you start acting like you are in control then a court gets to assume that you are in control.

I’m totally out of my expertise here but I have a question - from my understanding ray tracing is primarily used for lighting/shadows/reflections- wouldn’t it be OK for something like shadows to be inaccurate- maybe some sort of amalgamation over frame refreshes? Real world light is messy anyway. I’m talking about a game type scenario not something scientific.

Maybe another way to ask is- we’re trying to simulate a real world “analog” scene - maybe using an analog processing technique could actually be quite faithful for generating it?

Or not. Like I said I don’t understand too much of this.

> At the end of the day you pay X for job Y.

Common misconception but it’s not how markets work.

You pay whatever it takes to get candidates onboard, but you ideally don’t pay more than necessary. You definitely don’t pay everyone more just because one of your employees lives in SF.

This is more intuitive if you think of any other market you might personally operate in. Would you expect your local car mechanic to charge you twice as much as the other local shops just because they also have a location in San Francisco? No, you’d just go to the next mechanic who charged local rates. You aren’t interested in paying more than necessary and neither is your employer. It’s not nefarious, it’s just rational acting.

I think the bigger issue is some will not re-enable it. Common carrier protections allow you to respond to abuse once you realize it exists and that such usage breaks the law. However you don't get to filter to enforce your chosen morality.

Pirate if you want (and can) but let’s not keep persisting the myth that these companies are being unreasonable. The average family paid 100 for cable and on top kept buying dvds for 10-20 a pop. These streamers are just trying to replicate that level of spending (and for the most part, failing).
It doesn't make sense to go the zip code route, of course. It's too granular, to the point that even if "COL" changes zip code to zip code there's too much variance to make that meaningful unless your only view of "COL" is what it costs to rent a 2BR1BA apartment. If you pay everyone the same wages, you're immediately excluding people who live in VHCOL areas unless you pay VH wages, and spoiler alert, you almost certainly don't. If you're not competing with FAANGMULA-etc. on cash comp, you're not in the right ballpark.

But guess what, you can still pay the person in Vietnam or India or Belarus or Oman a very strong regional wage and free up cash allowing you to offer a competitive VHCOL salary. There's no realistic reason to pay someone in eastern Europe $400k TC.

I've had this idea for a while. A roving machine that slowly and autonomously eats through commingled landfills, like a giant industrial shredder on tires. Take in everything, refrigerators, catalytic converters, electronics, toys, couches, nylon clothing, diapers. Separate everything with some combination of magnets, eddy current metal detectors, centrifuges, machine vision and other means. The metals can surely be sorted in many ways, aluminium, steel, rare earths, the odd radioactive extracted, others melted down and separated. Glass and recyclable plastics cut to pellets. Everything not recyclable but with some chemical energy in it sent to a incinerator (with a high-efficiency electrostatic filter) for power generation. Things like cinder blocks would be left over. This would also reclaim land and eliminating huge eyesores.

It would be one abstraction away, but you're right, it would be pretty close.

> It's also against the App Store rules to make an app which provides an OS limited service such as push notifications as an API.

They don't seem to enforce those rules very consistently, given how many "push notification" services exist today.
I really shouldn't even have to say this but apparently this is unclear to some people.

There are exactly zero sane countries which are going to adopt a policy of deliberately reducing the material standard of living of their citizens. Zero. Democratic, authoritarian, capitalist, communist, doesn't matter. No one is going to do that. No one is going to run on a platform of "I will make our country poorer and reduce its international influence". Anyone who thinks this that this is an even remotely plausible solution to the issue at hand is nothing short of delusional.

My imagination runs amok..

There is a Disney+ but https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Little_Dog_Lost is not on it. Nor is any other Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color or whatever name the anthology ran on television since 1954 but to me this is the only one that matters, what can I do, I love corgis :)

The Mists Of Avalon mini series from 2001 is nowhere to be found.

Many, many movies have been made out of the novel The Count of Monte Cristo but what many consider the closest to the book, Robert Vernay's version from 1954 with no less than Jean Marais in the lead is impossible to find these days. This was Vernay's second Cristo movie, the vision he always wanted to make but couldn't in 1943 when he made the first. But no one knows of it because streaming, DVD, whatever you want just doesn't exist. Rare Films And More sourced a high quality 16mm print (it's in German) and digitized it and wrote English subtitles for it -- but it's a pirated copy, I don't think it entered the public domain yet.

Yes. If an employer lists extremely low pay as the minimum, the labor market will know to avoid that market as apparently supply to demand ratio is too tilted in favor of the buyers of labor.

If the market is competitive, then the employer listing a subpar minimum pay will either get subpar candidates or be forced to raise it to compete with their competitors.
This kind of "code study" is underrated. Turns out I was also influenced by studying code by the same author, but on another of his projects: https://github.com/LingDong-/Hermit (video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPYeTJd8klQ )

The code isn't perfectly organized (eg. the file containing the main loop is literally called "foo.py"), but it was still clear enough to convince me that implementing 2D skeletal animation from scratch was actually a reasonable task for a hobby game, something that I ended up doing myself.
Metafy is a big one too. But notably people are largely willing to pay if the game is played competitively. For single-player games, not so much.
> To think someone is plotting to ‘keep people down’ assumes there’s some super smart god like person out there pulling all the levers and playing 5 dimensional chess

No it doesn't. You just have to be paying attention to politics. There is right now an ongoing political debate about whether we need to lower child poverty (child tax credit) or starve the poor into working.

It's in the New York Times, it's on Fox News, it's everywhere.

Because the essential jobs that support the techies lavish lives don’t pay the $50k+ Needed to afford a $1k apartment. Get that rent down to 30% average median, with a healthy supply of housing at said cost, net income and then you’ll see that people do in fact want to work and provide for themselves. When that ability is robbed of then you’ll see all kinds of horrific antisocial behaviors. This is basic stuff. Many, and I’ll argue all, houseless people are put in impossible situations by the apathy, capriciousness, and greed of American society from the local level to thin air of the highest offices.

Not every one can be a highly paid techie with a fancy pad and delivery services for everything. Geniuses are stuck working menial jobs all around the world because they’re necessary. To whom much is given, much is required. If the United States is to solve the houseless crisis then we must first get the highly compensated and wealthy to face the fact that their lives of privilege and excess come directly from the exploitation of billions of people and then accept the necessary concessions to allow everyone to live a dignified life. We can provide a clean and safe home, food, healthcare, and mass entertainment for everyone. We can’t provide sprawling estates and yachts for everyone. I’m in favor of getting rid of the yachts over a genocide of those unlucky enough to be born into privilege.
Fun fact - of all the professions, marriages with an actuary have the lowest divorce rate. Bartenders have the highest.
It was extremely misleading for the author to list questions from exam P as if they were representative of the exams at a large. I'm an actuary, and I passed that exam with a 10 (maximum grade), with a nights review of my probability class notes.

Then I failed my next exam twice. The first couple exams are very simple, and then it ramps up considerably.

As others have mentioned, the hard part of these exams is not the individual material, which is never far beyond undergrad level, but the sheer quantity of it. It's also very unmotivated in some cases, so it's hard to piece together a full picture of the material that you're trying to learn.
I never encountered that. Country related? I wasn't in the US. Year related - from the get go, or later on?

I think you mean collision coverage. Comprehensive covers non-collision accidents like theft or a tree falling on your car and is generally cheaper than full coverage which includes collision.

It seems like you may have been screwed over, but also don’t completely understand how auto insurance works in most places which might be partly intentional for the industry.

In most places damages to your vehicle are covered by your own insurance. You can sue the other driver and their insurance will cover them if necessary, but generally you’re only able to be reimbursed up to a certain amount which is why you need to have insurance yourself. Yea, it’s backwards and effectively forces you to have more insurance than you might otherwise want or need.

Labor should be compensated for the value created, not the least they will accept.
The best thing for most people is to delay talking about comp as long as possible into the interview, and not to tell them your current salary or total comp because it isn't relevant or helpful for you. If they have more time invested they are more likely to pay on the higher end of their salary range.

But you should ask the recruiter about the salary range and do research on the company before hand to find out what the range is.
If you're making a tool for people to use, it's probably best to use a syntax that most people are comfortable with. UX doesn't only matter to corporations.

I live in a very rural area where wood burning for heat makes a lot of sense. We have vastly too much deadwood on the ground and it is a serious fire hazard. There is simply no other economic way to dispose of it than to burn it. Most of it gets burned in vast piles by the county and forest services. From my lot, I divert a few cords per year of that to my woodstove. Either way it is going up in smoke. This way, for an acceptable amount of labor, I heat my house and save about $1,500 a year in propane charges.

This is less healthful for me than propane in terms of indoor air pollution. But it is more healthful in terms of exercise and fire prevention. I've accepted that compromise with the help of an air purifier that stays on all winter. Also, when I can get all of my fuel within a few hundred yards of my front door, most of the extraction and transportation costs go away.

And there's something else that's very important to me: When I burn propane, I micromanage the thermostat to save money. I wear heavier clothes all winter and end up tolerating being more cold and uncomfortable. With wood fuel being so much more economical, and surfing the edge of comfort less practical, I just keep the woodstove going all day and cool the house at mid day by opening some windows ... getting fresh air that I just don't get when using propane. So the house is mostly warmer all day than with propane, and I'm wearing less and generally more comfortable.

It's a pretty easy choice for me. I'd like to keep it up as long as I'm physically able.
The only thing this narrative will accomplish is failure. Nobody will support significant sacrifice to combat climate change. Luckily they don't have to.

Of course we won't be able to capture and store 37 gigatonnes of carbon annually. That's ludicrous.

The path is straightforward: electrify everything, and make the grid green. There are only three major industries that are difficult to electrify: cement, steel and air travel. Steel & air travel can use hydrogen. For cement, you use low carbon processes to get carbon emissions down to about 10% of previous, and then store the rest. That's just a hundreds of megatonnes, and that is feasible.

Electrifying (almost) everything will cost a lot of money up front, but will save a ton of money in the long run. And renewable energy is a lot cheaper. And will provide a ton of jobs. So consumption is going to go up, not down.
