> Why would I ever go to a woman for "emotional support"? Her lived experience and frame of reference will be so radically different from my own that her advice is unlikely to be applicable. When I need support, I call my guy friends with ("Hey, I haven't encountered this problem in my life before. I believe you had a similar scenario in the past. Suggestions?"), and they do the same.

Emotional support goes beyond advice and suggestions. In fact, for many people (including many men), advice is the least important part and often unwelcome at first. What people are looking for is empathy, being heard and validated. Therapists don't share the same lived experience as most of their clients, yet they can still be exceptionally skilled at providing emotional support.
Intentionally not communicating things in order to prevent bikeshedding is a dangerous game to play and a symptom of a broken environment, but that doesn't mean it's not sometimes a valid approach.
Yeah it says that in the article.

“A bittering agent (Denatonium Benzoate) has also been applied to the game card,” the spokesperson said, adding that Nintendo recommends keeping Switch cartridges away from children “to avoid the possibility of accidental ingestion.”

It's somewhat common practice, some products will even say "contains a bittering agent to prevent ingestion" somewhere on the container. I believe engine coolants are required to have it.

This is the thing that piqued my interest when looking into EdgeDB a few weeks ago. Imagine developing your front end by first designing your data queries, and calling a function on the query definition that generates the frontend ui derived from the schema's type system and annotations that can display the result of that query. A man can dream... :)
IIRC it was based on a true story; there was an Ebola outbreak in Atlanta when a monkey escaped.

(In a different direction, Microsoft's pyright type checker for Python -- IMO the fastest and most correct type checker in the Python ecosystem -- is implemented in TypeScript!)
Sony is Japan’s Apple if anyone is.

A company like Nintendo doesn’t seem like it has an American equivalent, and I actually can’t imagine a company like that surviving the ups and downs of the 80s/90s/00s tech cycles in the US, especially with our tendency towards M&A.
It is very different to be a subsidiary of a public company than to be public yourself. Take Waymo vs Alphabet. If you are the public company, you need to have your unit economics working such that you generate short term profits.

You can lose money in a subsidiary so long as it is small by comparison to your overall P&L (Waymo losses of a few billion over several years vs Google annual revenue is over $160B and profit over $34B).

If on the other hand, Waymo were its own public company (and not a subsidiary), then it would need to show results on its own.

Don't get me wrong: being a subsidiary of a public company is still worse than say being a private company with a massive warchest or being the subsidiary of a private company with strong cashflow / cash reserves.
Salaries are weird. If you want to be paid for value delivered, do consulting and charge by the hour. Salaries are a market rate; just like you are probably gonna make more if you apply to Bay Area jobs, you’ll probably make less in Colorado. Negotiating a market rate in one place then moving to another is basically a loophole.
It's not about Omicron today, it's about Omicron's descendants.

Before Omicron, two doses provided >90% protection, and held up well against Delta.
Now, two doses provides only 40% protection against Omicron. Whereas three doses bumps that back up to 80%.

Given these trends it's clear that we need a plan forward, just in case, for whatever comes on the menu next year. It's likely to be an Omicron descendant, since Omicron is dominating the gene pool. It's a reasonable assumption that an Omicron derived vaccine would have provided >90% protection against Omicron. And so, reasonably, being Omicron-boosted in the future should provide something like 80% protection against whatever the next dominate strain will be, whereas the existing boosters might not fare as well.

That's the hope anyway.
Wait so the actual google flagship only gets three years of support?
Why do you even have "trivial" notifications like Twitter making a sound? You can allow only truly "urgent" apps to make sounds, so there's no confusion.
Compatible with MySQL or Postgres?
Why the eff would toasting bread need an OS?
I worked in a factory, where all the pc’s were infected with malware - at the production line too. This would have the unfortunate effect that when we wanted to flash calibration data to the device, malware would write itself to it because the way we would write the data was to a special section of the eMMC that would get mounted as a drive - malware detected a new drive and copied itself. We only discovered it because sometimes the devices wouldn’t boot - I think it took 3 days of nonstop debugging to figure it out. They thought we were crazy, when we finally tried to convince them that something was not right with their setup.

That was a large factory in China. I remember Philips had a production line there also.
This post has a thin veneer of science and a lot of flowery language, but the core argument is a deeply flawed. The author is trying to extrapolate from psychology studies to argue that it’s “ageist” to have additional driving restrictions on teenagers. The source material is deeply cherry-picked to support their argument (in a very strained way) and completely ignores the actual studies that go into these decisions. It’s also ignoring the fact that 16 year olds are inherently beginner drivers, which is perhaps the single biggest reason their licenses are restricted in some locations.

The author, who appears to be a teenager, has other posts with titles such as “ Isn't it weird that I am a slave?” and “Teens: the most oppressed identity group?” It’s clear that the author feels a lot of youthful angst, but comparing himself to a slave is quite out of touch and tasteless. There’s also a weird tangent into race-based differences at the end article. This is one of the more bizarre Substacks I’ve come across lately.
> So now when I get a generic notification sound I have to check my phone to see if its urgent (food delivery) or trivial (twitter), because Apple forces both of those apps to sound the same.

It's not ideal, but I've disabled sounds + banner and lockscreen notifications for almost all of my apps, allowing them to only display notifications in the notification centre. It lets me check trivial notifications when I want instead of being interrupted by them.
what surprises me is to see how Germany, despite the low number in comparison with the other countries, has capitulated in almost all areas.
key take-aways:

+ Michal switched his focus to syften, a tool originally developed to help him promote another product, when he put a price on it and had takers in a few days.

+ Even though he did not enjoy writing and was not very good at it, he realized that he would have to become adequate to market syften. So he forced himself to get better at writing.

+ He added an "enterprise plan" and has been surprised at how profitable it is. "Finding ten high ticket customers might sound unrealistic. But today, my perspective is that it’s easier than finding thousands of low ticket customers."
Biden: When you own a product, you should be able to repair it yourself
This is a neat idea, and an improvement if and only if it’s actually used instead of other targeting techniques rather than in addition to.

What are the odds of other fingerprinting and tracking techniques being dropped though?
the central bank was sold to the public to prevent recessions and bank runs. they haven't done the former, and the latter is very easy to do now that the reserve rate is at 0%. however countries without central banks post 2000 (afghanistan, iraq, libya, north korea, etc) have not fared well against the petrodollar cartel's war machine.
Oh maybe it depends per person but I'm the kind of person who needs to know how bitter it is (like you!)

And it lasted for maybe 30 seconds, maybe it's different if you realllllyyy get into it but I wouldn't advise that anyway.
Thanks for the comment. Your reference [1] shows that NASA's budget is typically 0.5% of the total Federal budget in recent years, not the DOD budget. In 2020, NASA was about 23 billion and the DOD was about 766 billion, or about 3%. As to your other point, yes, some of the DOD budget is spent on space. That number will continue to increase.

Interesting tidbit: In constant 2020 dollars, peak NASA spending during Apollo was only twice today's budget.

non-natural immunity means an immune response to a very specific part of the spike protein introduced via vaccine (vs exposure to the entire virus wherein your body produces antibodies which target a diversity of binding sites)
Yes, that's a big reason why the valuations are different. ARM's designs being so central to the products of so many companies has occurred only because of ARM's licensing terms being so liberal, including things like forward pricing caps, MFN clauses, etc. They basically chose to trade away pricing power (hence margin) for ubiquity and longer-term relationships.
Right, those 6.8 billion workers who speak great English, have the skills needed, understand the culture, can work the same hours..
I used to be involved in Mini sales (System 36). Selling DOS based PCs was a doddle compared to these singularly sluggish and ridiculously heavy machines.
> The USA is at 7% inflation. This means the central bank is not doing their job.

Is it absolutely clear at this point that monetary policy is to blame? It seems to me that supply-chain issues could still be a major factor.
The backend load is almost nothing, everything is done client side for rendering, on the fly generation of the CSS and more. There is no CSS in the document, it's all rendered as it is needed and modified as it's needed. This also allows for colours based on percentages and OS set colours or modes like light and dark without having both loaded in the page.

It also means rich embeds and more like videos, tweets, articles and formatting.
Mobile device OS's do not swap to storage because the typical mobile storage is bottom-of-the-barrel eMMC and the wear-and-tear of swapping on the flash would be a killer.
This is causing a type of PTSD.
Personally, I don't care what's "efficient" and what will make Google the most money. What I care about is how they treat a) their users, and b) the planet.

Money is a means to an end. The fact that so much of our society treats it as their score in the game of life—something to be maximized at all costs as an end in itself—is a disease of the mind.

If Google (and, yes, literally every other major corporation) made more decisions based on what was better for their users (not just "their customers", because in certain aspects of their business that's advertisers, not regular users) and for the health of the planet, while simply making sure that they had a reasonably comfortable financial cushion, we would all be better off, and Google's executives and shareholders would barely notice the difference in their high scores.
Forever, until they release the firmware source. It's a "shit or get off the pot"-type situation.
You need to unlock your bootloader, install custom recovery (TWRP) and then install a custom ROM (I use LineageOS). It's optional to install Google into AOSP-based ROMs.

You need to find instructions based on your specific device. Each one is different.

You're spitting into the wind with inflation. Move on.
I'm sorry I don't see it. I only see mention of dividing groups by unvaccinated/vaccinated. That doesn't give indication to prior exposure at all.
I’ve faced worse issue. So you are thinking about problem solution, you created a design and you ask ppl for their opinionated view about the problem and your solution.

Issue is - they cannot even give you a good feedback because they are not that advanced.

The issue of being a great engineer is that there are not many great engineers you can have a constructive discussion with.

You are sometimes even “expected” to deliver solution alone, because there is noone who even grasps the concept.

One could say its simply an incorrect team composition in this case but well.. what can you do about it when you are also asked to in the same time train ppl who clearly dont have the capacity to match your level - and better - they are supposed to reach that level soonTM.
Then it's still just some random reddit post.
Our research to 'save lives' has now cost millions of lives and trillions of dollars... Perhaps the research is not worth it. But that will never come up if we allow the coverup to obscure the truth
Natural immunity is acquired from exposure to the disease organism through infection with the actual disease.

Vaccine-induced immunity is acquired through the introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination.

I don't get the Sony:Apple comparison at all.

If anything, Sony is Japan's Microsoft: Do a gazillion things, many of them poorly, to such a unfocused extent that some of your divisions actually end up competition with each other.

Like in Sony's case, how they've had internal battles for decades between the device side (that wants to make devices that are useful) and the content side (that wants DRM out the ass on everything)
Is it possible for me to request that Clearview remove any pictures of myself that they have? I'd like to do that.
The economic profession developed some serious deflation PTSD from the great depression. I always heard deflation was bad. Nobody ever seemed to have a great case for why based on good historical data.

This is a chart of the US annual inflation rate. Note that consistent inflation only occurs after ~1930.

This is a log-scale chart of US GDP per capita adjusted for inflation and international price differences.
https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/gdp-per-capita-maddison-2...

Do you see a discernible change in growth trend since the shift to consistent positive inflation? I don't.

To be clear, I'm not saying this is even close to conclusive evidence, I just feel like its a compelling enough side-by-side to warrant further questioning.

> Then leave. That's your only recourse.

Only if the culture over values conflict avoidance. By other management philosophies, it is preferable to encourage (healthy) conflict, which can include waves of emotionality which can be uncomfortable for many people. It's a business, not a therapy zone, so that seems like an occasionally appropriate tradeoff.
They really are an interesting company. They are slower than Sony/MS, yet more innovative at the same time. They make a fair amount of bone-headed decisions, but I certainly trust them more than I do most other tech companies.

Especially back in the PS3/XBox360/Wii days, they seemed like the only thing stopping the VG industry from a nofun dystopian duopoly.

I don't understand the naming and notation of this article because the author is assuming context that I don't have.

Section baseline:
What are N, M, K? 3 matrices or? Laid out as a flat array, or what? `c[m * N + n] += a[m * K + k] * b[k * N + n];`, ah, apparently a b and c are the matrices? How does this work?

This article made me think of the many virtues of the (analog) landline telephone system, built up over a century of universal usage. All due nostalgia aside, its well-known problems and solutions have been replaced by an arguably (physically) less resilient and markedly more wasteful alternative.

I have yet to see a detailed balance sheet on that choice (which includes externalities) from the 'someone who made that decision'. No doubt 'profits' are up, depending on who defines 'profit', and who it advantaged. Sometimes things start out seeming like a great idea (universal automobile ownership). Sometimes haste (like universal nuclear energy, all political motivations aside) makes waste.
We have a saying on our team, "don't go down the rabbit hole alone".

Honestly I think the reasons mentioned in the article for why this happens are valid, but more frequently, people are a little insecure about their work or a little too much of a perfectionist, and that creates slightly enough friction to deter them from sharing progress or asking for help early on.
Elixir certainly has its use case, but so does Ruby. Things like the huge amount of available gems and a big community, especially combined with a proven framework like Rails really makes it easy to build applications.

Elixir is well suited for a lot of things Ruby is but also has some shortcomings. For instance, the albeit growing community and available libraries is just not on the same level as Ruby. Furthermore the amount of available engineers knowing elixir can be a problem when hiring (ofcourse these can be trained internally) but in general hiring will be a tad bit harder.

Whilst I agree with you on the technical side (language is cleaner and obviously more performant) I do not agree on the statement dat Elixir is a better tool, as with a lot of things in software it depends.
1 million dollars for million of users sticking around for 2 extra years on Google services is EXTREMELY cheap all things considered.
I was searching for something like Capture2text, which I use often on my windows machine, when I got macbook. None of the free apps made it past my requirements and I was unwilling to pay. I already had BetterTouchTools, so I created a global gesture for 2 finger double-tap that runs my OCR-translate Shortcut (the Apple app called Shortcuts). There the shortcut consists of: Take interactive screenshot -> Extract text from screen -> Translate text from image from detected language to English -> Show translated text.

Now my only 2 gripes are: the gesture sometimes doesn't trigger (for example when right click menu is open), and second: (resolved in edit) the OCR is keeping line breaks but the translation translates each line independently (still shows all lines at the same time). Maybe its fixable somehow, didn't bother yet.

EDIT: Just looked into it and putting a "Split text by lines" and "Combine text with spaces" nodes between "Extract text from screen" and "Translate text from image" works great with getting rid of line breaks. There's also replace text with regex support for wizards. If anyone knows how to say in regex "delete single newline characters, but if there's two, keep both of them", that would be nice.
Maybe I didn’t phrase it right for you,

Unaccredited investors (us, commoners) have access to margin loans for up to 50% value of account.

Accredited investors have access to portfolio margin which can be up to 90% of mark to market value.

That’s nothing to say of any custom financial instruments that banks might come up with to save bezos any taxes. Think swaps.
>but for whatever reason kicked the can down the road

My Pixel XL bricked itself one morning due to a software update that triggered some kind of hardware bug. Great phone until that point, then poof, and it wouldn't even connect with a debug connection to my PC to replace the firmware or recover itself.

I've put it on a shelf until I can get time/money to recover the data from the flash, but lesson learned.

I bought a Samsung.
This article is effectively a troll, because the terms are not defined, and the term "young" is inherently subjective. Meanwhile, the entire project of reducing people to a set of binary labels is - I was going to say "deeply suspect", but actually I think it's an overtly corrupt and immoral way to view people, because it dehumanizes them.

In practical terms, I rather like Marcus Aurelius' take on experience. In Meditations he notes that you don't really know what's going on until you're 40. That holds up. You go through phases of thinking you know (and indeed, you really do know different parts of it) at 15, 25, and maybe you think you're done at 35. But no, there are a few more mistakes to be made! There is a great variety of people, interactions, and error modes. The sheer depravity of people, of ALL people, even ones you'd swear were above it, is astonishing. As is the incredibly capacity for warmth, joy, and heroism. It's like humanity is a movie that's about 40-years long, and you have to watch the whole thing, no matter how good you are at anticipating the plot twists.

Please, if you write a public blog post, use your head. Not everybody will understand your terse notes.
I can present to you a very good reason not to use immunity status. Every idiot and their brother was discussing how they had already had it when statistically this was absolutely impossible. Everyone who had the sniffles from late 2019! to current is absolutely sure they have had it because it would be more convenient to be immune than not.

It would be impossible to give antibody tests to 60M antivaxxers in any reasonable time frame. Instead of asking people to wait in line a year for a test that has very little medical use the politically expedient thing would be to ask for the equivalent of a doctors note saying they pinky swear their patient had covid. Some states/some doctors would fire up the presses and within a month 95% of the antivaxxers there would have a certificate regardless of actual status.

Since vaccination is actually in everyone's interests even if they have already had covid this would lead to less people being vaccinated and it would be against even the anti vaxxers interests and furthermore locations that only allow vaccinated or tested people would now be equally full of infectious people as vulnerable people with a newly false sense of security.

I have a fond memory of camping outside a Target from ~10:00p to 6:00a when the Wii was launched. We hung out with a group of strangers in camping chairs, talked about our favorite games, and tried to keep warm. When the Starbucks bakery delivery came a few hours before the store opened the driver gave us all free pastries.

The Wii ended up being a very disappointing launch experience IMO but we had a fun time waiting for one.
No, but flu is the only one that evolves so quickly that we need a new shot every year.
