I don't think capitalists or communists like this one. This is very much a place that would (and should) go out of business but for this government intervention.

But I quoted the ruling well above, it doesn't say that they can't work for the new employer, just that the new guy has to either make one person available so the other can continue to operate or it can choose to cease hiring more staff. So they can be employed by the new employer for more money, they just have to help this place limp along until it can find people to work there (which... I can't imagine anyone wanting to after this).

Presumably this isn't so much for the employer's benefit as for the public so that they don't lose access to a medical facility with the particular licenses it has.

But yeah, I don't think anyone argues that this business isn't too dumb to survive after it rejected their counter-offers when they had a new job in hand, what the hell did they think was going to happen?
>Unlike 2008 where people were over-extended and buying up investment properties, this price increase is caused by an overall shortage of housing. The demand is there as are the people willing to pay the prices.

What if the people paying the prices now are also over extending themselves just like the others did in until 2008?

Considering how much low-interest money the banks are handing out to everyone now it certainly looks like it to me.
I’ve never played with Rust, but could Rust have been viable on early 70s hardware? Had Rust existed, could Unix have been originally written in Rust?
I think every blackboard organic chemistry class should be required to be taught with multiple repeated asides about the dangers of organometallic reagents. And other dangerous materials too. It's not just pushing electrons around, it's fucking with your life potentially.

And they send you into lab with only folk-story level preparation if you're lucky enough to have gotten that info from others, and one day there is in front of you a bottle of organo-tin looking not too dissimilar from any other less harmful reagent. Only saved from danger by some slightly older grad student saying, "be careful around that stuff" (again, if you're lucky).

I myself only knew about, for example, the dangers of ether bottles left for a long time, because of my own interest in happening to read about it. Not a single person in my entire undergrad/grad career mentioned it. Hydrofluoric acid. Other nasty stuff, etc.

It's a major oversight for student education -- to be taught the dangers of the subject you're about to be exposed to in real life.
Of course not, and I never stated as such. That's why even though I'm vaccinated I still wear mask in crowded public places. From the informing of myself I've done, the studies I've seen on the topic so far do suggest reduced transmission by vaccinated individuals. If you know studies that show otherwise, please share them I'd love to read them.

We're trying to balance multiple factors: living our life normally, protecting ourselves, protecting family members we still interact with. We take some known risks: sending child to preschool, while taking known precautions: wearing masks, getting vaccinated. If being vaccinated reduces the chance that we might spread the virus to someone, then that's a marginal advantage we'll stack in our favor.
Could try a ball mouse, the one I use, has the thumb on the ball, and the normal fingers for the buttons.
Ugh, I just laughed at loud with this exchange.
I mean I agree that carbon capture should not be used as an excuse to prolong the fossil fuel industry, but we sort of need to produce hydrogen to produce ammonia.

It's hard to get out of this trap, because ammonia is critical for the agriculture, and this is not a sustainable practice, but it's a Sophie's choice. Starve now or kick the can down the road and likely face bigger problems.

The fossil fuel industry gets the angry letters, but in this case agriculture is the one that needs to be reinvented first.
I am hoping that learning some new things will spark some curiosity, and bring back some passion and joy.
The problem with bowls isn't just the normally very small size of the bowl, but the shape itself. Being tapered toward the top, there is not enough surface area to properly oxygenate the water for the fish. That in itself is reason enough to go for a tank in my opinion, but bowls are also more difficult to add proper filtration and heating to (although unfortunately people who house fish in bowls often don't get to the stage of even considering filtration or temperature regulation).

Betta fish may not need as much space as some other fish, but they still should not be kept in bowls (no fish should). They can be very hardy fish, but just because they _could_ survive in a mud puddle or a tiny bowl without proper filtration doesn't mean they _should_ be kept in those bad conditions. They should be housed in an appropriately sized tank with low flow filtration and a heater (they're tropical fish and like warmer temperatures). I'm linking some articles on the topic of housing bettas below.

Petroleum companies have captured our governments and are subsidizing bs technology to stay relevant on our dime, it has never been about zero emissions for them.
The studies I've read suggest reduced transmission ability by vaccinated individuals. If you know of ones that state otherwise please share them, I'd love to read them as well for a broader understanding.

If in fact vaccination reduces transmission of the virus, then that's an advantage I'll stack in our favor, among other precautions like wearing masks.
Yep that was the sentence that raised my eyebrow. Is it so hard to imagine that someone might actually be interested and motivated by investment banking or whatever else?

I found go compiler isn't very efficient in not linking in the dead code.
I ran into it by switching from aws-sdk-go to aws-sdk-go-v2 and the binary jumped from 27Mb to 66Mb [1]

And of course a big problem has always been that Halliburton can't conscript you to improve their bottom line when fighting a foreign war. Good thing we are fixing that.
They set it up for the purpose of staying in business and staying in business for them means continuing to extract petrol. So yeah they are doing this to continue to accelerate global warming.
Please elaborate: in what way is our child's normal youth and mental health being compromised? Are you spying on us? How do you know what we're doing?
Of course not. A basic understanding? Absolutely, yes.

It's even widely accepted to be an important part of the education.

Just as Karnaugh maps and parser theory is part of computer science engineering curriculums. It's not something that's expected to be used a daily basis but some general knowledge of how a processor works is absolutely necessary to be able to at least talk about cache line misses, performance counters, mode swaps etc.

‘It dances in your mouth’: why Americans are eating more cilantro than ever
The F1 analogy is easy to use against this line of argumentation. Today's F1 cars are way faster than their predecessors. They are also safer, more automated, and in large part faster because they are easier to drive. The racing is more boring, and cars are uglier, but those are different topics.

The idea that you can't maintain the runtime performance of C while innately supporting automated reasoning about invariants/safety just doesn't hold up. The idea is to move the whole Pareto front outward - that's what advancements in theory and technology do.
In particular, as the scope of the conspiracy grows, the cost of keeping that secret very quickly outstrips any potential profit from exploiting the secret. Eg. if oil companies could use ESP to know where to drill, then they would still need to be spending large sums of money on computers and software to analyze seismic data, or else the collapse of demand for those products would expose the conspiracy.
I just followed Scott’s guide and there are easy scripts on github.
A very long time ago, someone said something that's stuck with me:

Some companies are good to invest in. Some are good to be a customer of. Some are good to work for. But very few companies are all three.

Amazon's definitely not the last of those three.
The Federal Reserve wouldn't default. It doesn't owe anyone money. It buys bonds (printing money out of thin air) at favorable interest rates from the US Government.

The US Government defaulting wouldn't impact the Fed's ability to continue to buy infinite sums of assets.

There's no reason that the US Government couldn't default and the Fed buy absurd amounts of treasuries until interest rates remain low or go even lower.
I would argue that a majority of humans are in a human mill, blindly following the next person, who follows the next person, ad infinitum, and are blind to it. I say this not scornfully, but rather as an outside observer, who having been flicked off the trail by a series of accidents, now observes the same humans passing by, over and over. Or perhaps they’re different humans, but are functionally indistinguishable. Same wants, same needs, same counterproductive and counterintuitive but “normal” decisions and behaviours.

A fundamental feature of behaviour in the animal kingdom is mimicry, memetics, whatever you want to call it - and the behaviours which propagate are usually favourable to the gestalt, rather than the individual.
Hopefully a vaccine will be approved for the youngest group soon, although I imagine there will still be a disparity between poor and wealthy countries.
I see, sorry I missed it.
I've started brewing a big pot of mix of loose leaf green and jasmine tea, drinking 4-5 cups has really quenched the 'thirst' for having a late night wine or beer, that I once had.

I used to home-brew wine and beer, and always had a cupboard full of it. Well instead of noticing that supplies were dwindling and brewing more wine/beer, I've let it run out. If I do feel the urge one evening, I'll just buy a 6pack of beer every now and then I think. It will be cheaper in the long run, to shift to this very infrequent mode of drinking
The popular narrative has been since inflation is high central banks across the world are going start pulling back on their easy monetary policy and start raising interest rates.

Even if Shell is a completely amoral company (they're really not) setting up a carbon capture plant that emits carbon is still not even rational.
Yeah, most of the time I've read about such compounds it was via blogs, like this one on dimethylcadmium:

"I'm saddened to report that the chemical literature contains descriptions of dimethylcadmium's smell."
These kinds of emails are so common that I don't think it makes sense to shame the company. Pretty much every company that is big enough to have a legal department sends out questionnaires like that. Yes, they are a pointless nuisance. Just ignore them and go on with your life.
It's more about whether the kernel retains support for 486. I wonder how many people are still using the platform actively? Or is it just hobbyists at this stage. If no-one is using it I think the kernel devs would drop support. Though perhaps Linus has a soft spot for old x86s specifically :-)
> Growing by hand for calories is a negative return activity.

Could you explain what this means? Does this imply animal husbandry was necessary for agriculture?
This is really cool, even if you didn't post I'm glad you mentioned it in a comment. :)

I remember compiling Linux kernel on my Cyrix 486SX 25MHz (the one with a disabled-by-default L1 cache!) and it took an hour. Got it on a P60 and it was like 5 minutes.

Good times.
We sold my grandparents house in the bay area for $1.6 million about 6 years ago, it sold again for $2 million last year, and Zillow currently estimates it to be worth about $2.3 million. My grandparents bought the place in the 60's for under $50,000, if I recall correctly.
Wouldn't you agree that if enough people choose to stay in Bitcoin instead of simply buying for cheap and selling at higher price, the structure will stop resembling a ponzi scheme?

The Bitcoin network does actually function as advertised and there's no technical reason for it not to be a decentralised network of value exchange.

I understand that at HN even considering blockchain technologies yields a strong pushback but at some point you need to admit that the crypto people are onto something. Bitcoin denies to die even after the rush of speculative investors and get rich quick folks dies off.
Exactly. He's definitely smart, and so it was a mystery to me why his articles were so incredibly long and rambling. (I get that some people enjoy his prose regardless of content, but I'm not one of them.) Why would a smart person who in theory wants to convey important points be so obscurantist about them? I threw up my hands and put it down to a personality quirk.

It was the Sandifer article "The Beigeness" that cleared it up for me: https://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-beigeness-or-how-to...

> levels.fyi has ranges for metro areas and mostly aligns with what I said.

Are those numbers staff-reported or business-reported? Do you know how they compare, for example, to studies that businesses do when deciding how to set their position stratification?

I guess I'm curious how the sites know whether or not they are actually getting a representative sample of salaries and ranges at companies.
Such an amazing book. There were some really awakening moments for me as I read it.
>Don't stop drinking.

>Live your life. You only have one.

Two interesting pieces of advice.

As we know however, tons of people are going to need to completely stop drinking alcohol in order to continue living any kind of life at all.

Survival would hinge on heeding only the latter approach.

not my downvote, but I do speak from experience, I actually was set back a couple years as a result of an air conditioner in motion combined with the way the pavement behaved.

But I survived.
I suppose that, had Conan Doyle been aware of quantum mechanics, Sherlock Holmes would have spent a portion of every case entertaining the notion that quantum phenomena caused the universe to spontaneously arrange the crime scene.

This is a tangent but I wonder if 24fps is what you should consider acceptable today. Yes, movies are 24fps, but I've always felt like that was a byproduct of economics which we're stuck with now because of tradition. No one wants a 24Hz desktop monitor, that's for sure; when the first 4k displays became generally available and the connection standards of the time could only push them at 30Hz, people absolutely noticed and disliked it.

Another thing I pulled from the article that I forgot earlier - they talked about their current-gen color E-Ink being able to represent 50k colors. Not quite a 16 bit color palette. We're getting to where LCDs commonly advertise support for a billion colors (10 bit panels). They have a long way to go before people will consider the color reproduction acceptable for general use.

If and when E-Ink gets to the point where color LCDs are today, we're probably going to be able to make "8K" high-refresh microled or self-emissive quantum dot displays. The reflective low-power nature of E-Ink will always have a place IMO but it's just hard to see people in volume valuing that over the speed, resolution, and color reproduction of a contemporary emissive display.
Having personally known a 2 year old who was severely ill from COVID-19, I'll do what I can to prevent that happening to my child.

Statistics mean nothing once something bad has happened to you. It's not like having been struck by lightning is less bad because the odds of happening to you were low. I will do what I can to stack the odds in our favor.
It was like 2006 or so when i started hearing that terminology.

LinuxCounter was still a thing, and no-ip offered dynamic dns like something.homelinux.net or something.homeunix.net.

eMule (aMule on gnu/linux) was still going strong and after school I was spending most of my afternoon either chatting with my gf of the time using aMSN or playing Tremulous on-line.

Flamming on internet forums (phpBB ftw) was funny and harmless to pretty much all the people involved (no real names involved, no consequences in real life).

Good times.
The real risk is civil liability. Particularly if the victim is later injured
So maybe that isn't what the GP meant? You're telling the person who did a study that they misunderstand the utter basics of studies, based on a 3-sentence comment they wrote.
The paper book you had reminds me of the very thick stack of printed papers that is the Gentoo installation guide circa 2005. It was my first foray into Linux and I, for macho reasons, went with Gentoo.

I think I gave up after a day, tried Fedora, and settled on Ubuntu.
A lot of pain comes from taking a “concern” that doesn’t align with the org chart, making simple tasks take weeks to accomplish because I need to get my boss to tell your boss to do it anyway or we don’t make payroll. People tend to get precious about things they own. See also the legal department or the financial department thinking they are the company, as if they had any revenue without all of those “cost centers” or legal liabilities.

Because the more programmers you have the more software you need to write. As a tool vendor, our market is exploding. This was a market that was "problematic" just 10 years ago.

Methodologies and scale are growing which means more developers. Markets are expanding where "everything" is becoming software driven. Generally, give me more programmers and I'll give you more things that need programming. Our world has barely begun automation.

> [...] More importantly, there's no way to automatically reflect the manipulations made to those alternate representations on the paper contained in the binders. This basically undoes everything the internet has given us, making technology much more elitist and harder to access.

I think that "automatically reflecting the manipulations made to alternate representations" is exactly a core intention of DynamicLand. They're very much all about bringing computer interaction seamlessly into the intimate physical workspaces of humans.

Admittedly, in the very few clips and info we've seen, this isn't particularly dramatic. On the surface it's sort of like an inverted augmented-reality experience where the computer asserts itself in physical space. Whereas in regular AR, we assert ourselves in cyberspace. The project of DynamicLand, IMHO, has a much larger scope than regular AR. Will it be successful? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am glad, however, that at least someone is trying this. I do hope that Brett Victor resumes his amazing lectures. They were really inspiring (this one in particular is a classic: https://youtu.be/8pTEmbeENF4).

And about 5 month before any symptoms showed up, then comatose within 3 weeks.

I once asked a biochemist how that's even possible. Apparently it irretrievably destroys a part of the body's metabolism that is necessary to repair nerve cells.
The human body and the ant colony are units of reproduction; an individual ant, like an individual cell, cannot reproduce. Only the colony or the human can do that.

Human societies aren't like that; the humans are free to reproduce on their own. It is a mistake to generalize from the ant colony to human society, much less to the entire world.
It really isn’t more complicated. People were told beanie babies were investments that would make them money. They were fed stories about people who made a lot of money from beanie babies. They got fomo and bought in, then it inevitably dropped.

Crypto is only more complicated because it also has other groups, like anarchists/libertarians that see crypto as subversive to government, taxes, and regulation. They buy in out of a mistaken philosophical view that it furthers their political ends.

The "need" level is very basic, in principle you need just some water and any food and any shelter and people lived like that for millions of years.

Even a Romanian block of flats from the Ceausescu period would seem a luxury to the peasants of Vlad the Impaler.

But we are talking about Germany, Munich. This is one of the most advanced economies in the world, and a great power of export. Having a 160sqm house with a 800sqm garden shouldn't be out of reach of a regular engineer working there. Plenty of people were able to buy similar properties just 30-40 years ago, in Munich, Prague or Copenhagen. Something is seriously askew if a normal middle class in a rich country can no longer do that.
> Even a very small edge in precognition or mind reading (no matter how unreliable) would allow hedge funds to beat the market and make a killing. Ergo these effects do not exist because nobody is doing this.

It is known that many people who consider that they might have psychic powers are on the highly sensitive side.

Knowing people who are highly sensitive, I can easily imagine that the enormous stress, pressure and greed in a hedge fund environment would make hedge funds a horrible work environment for such people.
