But this presupposes that the inefficient diversion to animal feed would work itself out in favor of keeping everyone fed if less grain were available. Since the inefficient systems of production and consumption are already deeply entrenched in areas with the highest savings and the most buffer against instability, there's no reason to think they would be the first thing to collapse, or even that the economics might not favor keeping livestock fed over reallocating grain to humans.
Your assumption may be wrong though. Hosting photos is vastly more expensive than hosting documents. Google may loose a lot of users if they made people pay for docs and sheets. They’re still very inferior to word and excel.
I've switched to Dvorak twice, first in my teens and again in my 20s. I'd never been great at typing with Qwerty (a lot of hunt and peck) so it was a low bar. I can absolutely relate to the terrible two months (at least) but I at least retained what little ability I had in Qwerty.

Both times I've switched back after a few years because of needing to share computers with other people and not wanting to deal with switching the layout (either physically or in the OS). I also had trouble with vintage computers and phone keyboard layouts which couldn't be switched. For some time I was faster at Dvorak and I really enjoyed that, but I think learning Dvorak and switching back has at least made me better at Qwerty. I love Dvorak and will almost certainly start using it again someday. Right now I've accepted I just need to go with the flow and do what everyone else is doing.
Yeah, I remember as a kid the one dude in our trailer park who had a 50/50 arrangement with their other parent in town. Poor kid never had any of us go over to their house to seek them out, because we didn't know the schedule. Childhood social structures can be fragile things that are invisible to adults.
Many fashion moguls adorn varius "richest people" lists.

I think it's a good rule of thumb to pay close attention to any industry that produces disproportionate number of billionaires. Because there might be some societal or ecological cost involved that the marked should be made aware of with through taxes or regulation.

Fasion and real estate should be some of the prime targets for investigation.

I agree with the sentiment of your comment, but when was this ever not the case, other than the days when you built your own OS and tooling from scratch?
I’m curious about the Setapp subscription option which is new to me. What was the process for joining the Setapp portfolio of apps and how is the subscription revenue distributed? Do you expect it to become a significant part of your revenue compared to one-time licenses or business subscriptions?
I've been typing english and only english on Dvorak for 6 years. For my needs, I am very happy with it. There is one point I would like to make that the author misses (and it's not unique to Dvorak).

Learning an alternative layout can make you a better typist for the sole reason of requiring effort to learn it. When most of us type with QWERTY, it is effortless, however we also carry with us all of the bad typing habits we've accumulated over time - all of the stuff we did wrong on a QWERTY board out of habit that our typing classes tried to condition out of us but it still remains. When you try to learn a new layout, you're putting in more effort than ever before into typing with correct form. That alone is a big factor for why non-QWERTY typists perform better.
Two kids is the hard limit for me, and that's two kids who are healthy, "easy" to deal with, and I've had a great marriage with no economic or any other adverse events. I just would not have adequate time in the 24 hour day to work, sleep, give them enough attention and have some time for myself. Giving any of that up seems unwise.
I’ve never heard of him before. When I saw the title of this post I thought it was a wordplay thing, where the letters had been switched around (maybe by a confused AI) or perhaps some Old/Middle English post.

I don’t appreciate it. It broke so much of the original end-to-end promise of the Internet. Think of how many technologies would be vastly easier if two hosts could directly communicate, like audio and voice chats. I still miss the days when it was trivial to run a web server on your home computer if you wanted to. And now we have abominations like CGNAT that break lesser abominations like UPnP.

If we hadn’t had NAT for the last couple of decades, and someone invented it now, they’d be laughed off the stage. You see it as an enabling technology. I see it as a boat anchor that’s kept us on IPv4 way past the sell-by date.
"Example: My wife is in surgery, and has told me how surgical tools often come billed as a set. Rather than being able to bill for a single tool, if an operation requires another duplicate of the same tool the surgeon will often just open an entire new set."
That could be because the instrument required has been sterilised as part of a set and is not sterilised individually. This is a common problem in the UK where I work (as a surgeon), - the logistics of individually tracking all single packaged instruments would be unworkable and hugely costly.So they are grouped as a set for a particular operation.
Why buy their own when they can just hitch a ride. They could add a 'little black box' with access to the streams of IQ samples coming off of the array elements to do their own work without impacting operations.
I need to do this regularly. The UI for move file is atrocious!
Hopefully EVs will put a natural end to that madness. We could satisfy much of our primary energy demand simply by replacing energy crops with PV.
Are you writing drivers for all these printers? Will the operating system printer drivers not suffice?
We certainly need more people who focus on "the work". It is tragic to see young minds be thrown into a culture where they think it is "normal" to abuse anyone based on race, white or black. The fact that this happens routinely in the valley is a pathetic narrative on how the justice system has turned cowardly instead of upholding the law.

Indeed, all those complainers about the process should maybe try to answer this as their first business case interview question:

Definitely change your ways. It's always better to bang at the end.
Repeating your answer doesn’t help much. Have you studied any economics? Unfortunately, that’s not what capital means, it squarely contradicts the definitions of capital and of capitalism, and again, completely fails to answer the question. Communists have heads, hands, and environments. So do socialists, and feudalists, and aboriginal tribes, and, well, everyone. If you’re interested in learning how capitalism creates value, here are a couple of places you might start: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capitalism.asp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalism
If I may make some minor cleanup/style suggestions?

* You can do the key fetch, populate both apt sources.list.d files, then do a single `apt-get update && apt-get install --yes` rather than 3 updates and 4 installs.

* You're using both `apt` and `apt-get` and only using `--yes` once (obviously fixed by taking the previous point, but while I'm mentioning things...)

* If all but the last two steps use sudo, maybe consider just making the first step `sudo su` and then `exit` when you're done (very context dependent, but does let you skip needing `sh -c` to populate files)

None of this is anything against you, just some possible improvements to have fewer steps and general stuff I'd mention in a normal code review. And full marks for, y'know, actually documenting it at all and sharing:)

>Most powers were expansionist in some way or the other during World War II and its immediate aftermath.

Most powers are expansionists in some way at any point of time in history. I think a quote from "Seventeen Moments of Spring" is quite appropriate here.

Well, that's the idea behind alimony, which is sometimes mixed in with child support. But child support is mostly rooted in the idea that raising a child requires more support than a single individual can provide.

If it were just about continuation of lifestyle, my mother wouldn't have been entitled to anything as my parents were never together.
Did this a few weeks ago as part of the ~annual check to see if we finally support non-linux local dev for graphistry folks. Super promising, some tweaks:

- WSL2. Kernel virtualization feels as native as advertised, e.g., docker in wsl2/ubuntu is fast like docker in native ubuntu, vs. the slowness that is docker in os x

- Ubuntu 20.04 works, if I remember right

- We don't worry as much about library-level versions b/c we run via docker

- OpenCL does not work. There's some bits about intel & amd GPUs, but nada on nvidia

- Many nvidia-smi diagnostics do not work... and many ecosystem libraries assumed they did for stuff like initialization & memory management & monitoring. Prepare for whackamole of updating pydata etc. dependencies to ~December+

- TBD for GPU K8S; KinD/K3D seem likely via docker runtime passthrough, but minikube & friends seem riskier. Curious if anyone has that working in a non-painful setup, esp. w/ cross-container GPU sharing..

We still can't fully use+endorse WSL2 support for Nvidia hardware due to lack of even super minimal OpenCL versions, and risky core diagnostics surprises, but encouraging!

(Good time to shout: if you're curious about end-to-end client/server GPU computing and already active on opengl/webgl, we're looking for someone into helping the next 100X of our viz engine!)
These maps are good snapshots of history. East side of Tana Fjord in Norway is now totally abandoned. And yet I found washing machines and TVs -- how were these powered? Soviet map to the rescue: 100 kilometer long power line came from Berlevåg once.

Do you think growing up with parents that would rather not live together would have given you a better experience? Not asking cynically, genuinely curious. Nobody marries expecting to divorce.
> Republicans are pretty good are recognizing the value of good post-secondary education, their leadership still counts good schools as alma mater, even Trump.

The assertion wasn’t that Republicans are too stupid to know the value; but that knowing the value, they still want to make it difficult for more people to achieve it.

Rich people recognize the value of money while at the same time denying money to others.
And lab mice aren’t elementary particles, even though inbreeding can make them extremely similar, DNA-wise. Even if they were, they aren’t humans, so extrapolating to them is an art in itself (physicists rarely do experiments with electrons and draw conclusions about neutrons from them)

That it is harder to draw conclusions from experiments in biology than in physics doesn’t imply biology isn’t a science. Economics adds the problem that we (rightfully) don’t want to do realistic controlled experiments (would at times be hard, too. Put a few million people in a country with a given law regime, watch for a couple of decades, draw conclusions. Repeat) but again, to me, that doesn’t imply it isn’t a science.

I think it’s more part of the humanities than a science, though.
In this particular case the code is wrong and can be fixed easily by swapping the assignment and the comparison.

Likewise, code generators shouldn’t be generating this faulty code.

Raising compiler error here is the only right thing to do.

There are of course more ambiguous examples, though obvious examples like the one above are sadly way too common.
I don't think there's any supposition of this sort in my comment: I haven't committed to any particular opinion on how we would (or whether it's politically feasible to) distribute the agricultural products that normally go into animal feed. Contemporary economic pressures, as you've correctly noted, don't help!

All I've observed is that the GP's conclusion doesn't necessarily extend from the data they've presented: it's just not the case that 3.5 billion humans would have to die if we didn't use as much synthetic fertilizer as we do. We can feed the entire world with much less indirection than we currently go through.
The VP of engineering I work for is very much a servant leader. He is always around to support the team, unblock people, and makes sure things are moving along smoothly. As opposed to previous leaders I've had who were aloof/absent and typically not available after 4 pm.

As an aside, I am deeply suspicious of people who assign letters to their personality or pronouns to themselves. We are all humans first and foremost.

The lesson learned is legit, but I feel like this attack model is relatively weak. I think it will get more attention if it's `file` command rather than `ldd`.

> * How much does the vaccination status reduce the chance of death/hospitalization?

> * How does it change over time (not 2 doses vs. booster, but by time since the last dose)?

> * What about comorbidities?

Addressed extensively in the scientific literature. I don't know how you can seriously claim otherwise unless you've been out of the loop for over a year.

> * How does it affect the transmission rates?

How would you go about testing it though? The difficulty is that the viral load is lower (which should reduce transmission probability) but the probability that the person will quarantine also is lower (which should have the opposite effect), and how these things balance in the real world is like guessing.

> * How often are new variants expected to appear

Nobody knows but yes there is open discussion about how new variants come about.

> * What about suicides and the mental health in general?

Don't know what this is getting at regarding vaccines.

Inflation is never evenly distributed. That doesn’t dispute the cause for widespread inflation.

Inflation is higher than it’s been in 40 years, and that timeframe includes several energy cost spikes, many of which were worse than the current spike.

The answer is "yes". This is part of what makes America (and the rest of the world) so rich compared to the past. A while ago I was looking to buy a small knife for the kitchen and I found a whole pack of them. The average cost of each knife was 60 cents. The meal you prepare with that knife is going to cost more than the knife itself. That just blew me away. Imagine showing this kind of wealth to somebody from the medieval period.

Food waste is fine though. It's a side effect of food being incredibly abundant. It is the only realistic mechanism to fight hunger. You want food to be so cheap and so readily available that people are willing to easily write it off.
> I was bummed to see that most studies don't actually try to ascertain who usually wins when both parents want custody and there are no extenuating circumstances

The problem is that if there is a custody dispute, then probably at least one, and usually both, sides will be pleading circumstances which pull one way or the other. And any court is likely to issue fact findings that lean the same direction as the custody order. So, if you are going to find what bias exists in the court system you can't look at just custody orders and legally determined facts, you've got to separately readjudicate the fact disputes with an unbiased process. Which is...problematic.

"The only people who I saw running “successful” companies (a word which, I now realize, is very open to interpretation) were stern, if not iron-fisted, managers. They made the rules and set the goals with confidence. They weren’t afraid to yell to get their point across, "

The above is not an example of a good leader. People only obey this type of leader because they are paid to obey. A true leader is someone people obey because they believe in him.

The previous sentences describe leadership in an idealistic way. In reality most leaders are sort of hybrids. Yes you work for you boss because of the pay, but if that's the only reason why you work for your boss, than your boss is an not a good leader.
The company is literally too big to fail or care. Break them up. Make search its own company, and most of the rest will almost surely completely die. And monitor acquisitions ruthlessly going forward.

> As it stands, lax customs enforcement — along with spotty infrastructure and the prevalence of cheap Asian imports — has made it difficult for Africa to develop a garment industry of its own.

Local producers are great, but they're outnumbered ten thousand to one by local consumers. How the world would be any better if some of the world's poorest were forced by their governments to pay extra money to buy inferior clothes, while some small-time politically-connected tycoon profited from it? That's not really how prosperity works.

Scale back your consumption here in the US, go ahead, that's fine, but let's not pretend that the bales of clothing smuggled over the border into South Africa are harming anyone but the comfortable.

You realize a main reason they are reticent is because anything they say would get grasped upon and misinterpreted and blown up on the internet, And that it would be unbearable for a vaccine researcher to know their words, even if twisted online, caused people to die needlessly.

Also the latest cia report on the Havana syndrome was that only a few dozen are unexplainable and could be an attack, all the hundreds of others reporting symptoms later were explainable by preexisting conditions, stress, and anxiety.

Whether or not there are actual side effects to the vaccine like the story here, there will be hundreds or thousands of people who are like the ones from the Havana syndrome report. It’s a stressful anxiety filled time. Their symptoms are real, but the cause they attribute them to is misplaced.
