> saying that “White identity is grounded in racism” is absurd and of course totally racist

Sticking my neck out a little, and leaving out my personal positions, I think you are interpreting "White identity" as "any identity held by people who are white", where dragonwriter meant something more like "holding White as an identity"?
I'm not sure I understand. Chromebooks require a special cable to access certain developer features?
Point being: no Germans are sitting over cheques, for anything. They virtually don't exist any more for private persons. The last cheque I've got was from an insurance, a few years back, and it could only be cashed into a checkings account, not cashed out.

That depends on whether your queue system and the rest of your data/processing system fully respects data ordering requirements. A webshop sales process is quite simple to order, but if you have multiple events driven by the same queue, you also need a way to synchronize the results of those processes with the main queue.

So, as always, it depends.

Replace `console.table` with `JSON.stringify`:

JSON.stringify([...document.querySelectorAll('.fatitem table .athing')].map(el => [el.textContent.trim(), el.nextSibling.textContent.trim()]).sort(([,a], [,b]) => parseInt(b) - parseInt(a)))
It's pretty straightforward, assuming that you have the standard charge amount correct. (I don't know)

Between the two approaches, the costs break even when 30c = .27*cost.

Apple's 27% exceeds the 30c whenver the purchase costs less than $1.11. 27% of .99 is 26.73c.

So, this is a strong case Apple has calculated the other processor's charges for all app sales of .99 or less. It seems they are trying to charge more than normal processors for all micro-transactions.
>So, this will definitely be effecting marketers decision making process

Before we were acquired I managed to get an offer from another company to leave at one point.

I knew the founders well, and they knew I was critical to success, so they made me quite the offer to stay. For where I'm at, my salary is far above CoL, so I don't have an incentive to leave yet. That and I got some shares that will vest when the company sells this year.

But if I hadn't gotten that bump before acquisition, I'd likely be gone. It's impossible to get a raise now. On the plus side, I now work like it's impossible to get a raise, if you catch my drift.

Once it sells, I'll move on to something I love again. Planning to do consulting with some friends who started a co-op.

In the book/movie "The Giver", I remember the main character's mother saying "Precision of language." It was an instruction/request to be clearer and use less vague terms.

I wish we could say that, or something similar, to people without them getting upset. Implying that someone is communicating poorly and needs to improve is often dangerous. Instead you have to do a whole song and dance to say "I'm sorry, I'm not understanding. When you say X did you mean Y?"
The existence of large profit margins is not prima facie indication of a lack of competition. Apple makes a huge profit margin on iPhones but I don't think there's anyone who suggests that the smartphone market is uncompetitive. To that extent, the first part of your point doesn't really hold up.

On your second part: one of the defining qualities of a retail store experience is, in my experience, that no-one is allowed to compete with the owner of the store. No-one would say it is uncompetitive that the owner of a supermarket doesn't allow you to put your own goods on their shelves.

Presumably your point is really that Apple's App Store is such a large fraction of the total smartphone app market that it has, and uses, monopoly pricing power in abusive way. That's a more interesting point.

The fact that's interesting to me is that, as far as I know, since Apple created the App Store, it has always charged 30% (modulo the recent small business program); from the very beginning when the market was practically non-existent, with no guarantee of success, up until today. So despite the fact the market has grown from nothing, Apple hasn't sought to increase their fees.

Also, look at comparison points. If you look at PC video games, those can often be bought in physical form, downloaded direct from their publishers, etc. etc. I mean to say there is no restriction on alternative sales channels. Nonetheless, a huge number of game developers choose to sell on Steam; where, coincidentally, the store cut is also 30%. They complain about it, but they do it.
Here's how you pick dental insurance: it doesn't matter much because it isn't insurance at all. It's just a maintenance plan. The purpose of insurance is to buffer you against sudden large costs by having the insurance pay them while collecting enough of a premium from everyone that they come out ahead. The purpose of a dental plan is to pay for typical costs and completely bail on you if your costs go over a fixed amount per year (typically $1000-$3000). Look closely: every dental plan you are being offered likely has an annual maximum benefit per year of somewhere in this range ($1500 is common). I've had the insurance company cheerily say "yes, that procedure that costs $54000 is covered at 100%! ... up to your annual maximum, which is $1500. You will be responsible for the rest."
>Why are you inside of your body and not in someone elses?

Yeah, I'm glad they've announced GTA6 - I find the GTA online stuff boring/uninteresting. I was worried because it was such a cash cow and relatively easy/cheap to work on that we may never get another high quality story.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was really great, I wonder what they'll do for GTA6.
I was going to reply something similar, but I think the core of the comment you're replying to is that this is a collective action problem. Making any changes on my own will be harder on me than if everyone made a change. Both because technology can solve a lot of this, and because I look and feel worse positionally if it's just me making a change.
The more pervasive bias is to think countries are the best way to carve reality at its joints.
Yes they can be. Managers also get evaluated the same way. But replacing a manager is usually more hassle, so it's not as common to push them out to meet your URA quota. I've seen it happen once, and they re-org'ed and abolished the entire team (distributed everyone to other teams).

Failing to meet URA targets is one sure way to get antagonize superiors.

This gets a little more complicated when you discover that not all fifths are the same interval, as any string player will attest. Violinists playing double stops have to use ever-so-slightly different finger positions than they do when playing single notes. And instruments with fixed tuning like pianos use something called "equal temperament," which isn't quite the 3:2 perfect fifth.

Good luck running a business where (in the US) you lose 50% of potential customers instantly, and those 50% will tell everyone else to use x because it's available on both platforms.

It's really the 50% shouting on social media that hurts the most. Instead of maybe recommending your app, they will recommend one of your competitors that support both.
The etymology of the term is from Latin (for "hidden grotto"), and English inherited denotations (Dictionary meanings) both from German font usage and from French. I was pointing out the connotation (colloquial meaning) in English of "ugly" simply that it shows evidence for a long standing cultural bias. Enough of a long standing cultural bias that people may call them "ugly" simply out of "cultural habit" without examining where that bias came from or why they feel that way.

I also subjectively think many of the grotesque fonts are quite pretty, and I like Comic Sans too, but if you are asking why people think they are "ugly", one of the reasons is "subconscious cultural bias" and the "language lesson" was pointing out deep evidence of that (at least in English speaking cultures).
> nothing about consumers that require them to emit greenhouse gasses, but they do so because it's the cheapest.

Profit maximization requires them to use the cheapest method if they can get away with it.

> they won't emit greenhouse gasses if there's a market for non greenhouse gas emitting products

Except for pretty much the entire market of products that exist currently, you mean?

> I know for a fact that organic products have better margins than conventional ones

Right, because the 5-10% of consumers that are able to afford it and are shamed into “personal carbon footprint” mindset choose to take on economic harm in order to produce even more profits for the same scammy corporations that often own those “eco-friendly” brands.

It’s mind boggling you don’t see anything wrong with all this.

For me, these types of modeling issues are the biggest things that are standing in the way of "photorealism". Another common thing you'll see in a whole bunch of video games is grass or plants that are all "waving" in the wind, but they're just playing the exact same animation, just slightly offset. It looks great when its in your peripheral vision, but as soon as you look directly at it, it becomes noticeably artificial.

"grotesque" is also a term of art in font circles for a certain kind of sans serif, which leads to endless confusion.

"Look at that gorgeous grotesque" is a perfectly decent sentence for a designer to say.
I guess this is where we differ. I don't see a sufficient reason to believe that increasing computational capacity/complexity alone gives rise to consciousness. Moreover, I think there are common sense reasons to believe that consciousness is not substrate independent. Therefore, I don't see it as obvious that Turing completeness is sufficient for consciousness. For example, as someone else on this post has pointed out, a sufficiently complex water pipeline can implement a Turing machine. However, I doubt it would ever be conscious, no matter how large we make it. I think representing and processing information is orthogonal to experiencing.

Yes, agree, we wanted to try it out for this because we like it for work and it was quick to write up and publish and we thought it might be more flexible for writing up documentation, linking, etc. But we are not satisfied either: Very slow to load, formatting is fiddly and imperfect.

I hope they all do, where they exist anyway. But that’s a far more open system than a wood/coal stove which only has small air intakes, sometimes configured to draw from outside so the whole system is sealed from inside air

They do for a very short duration (10^-9 s.) Nuclear fusion happens by protons binding via the strong force, then one beta-decays into a neutron before the electromagnetic repulsion pushes them beyond the range of the strong force. The beta decay happens fast enough in 0.01% of proton-proton collisions.

>IOW, the experimenter wanted to be able to arrive at the conclusion that difference in performance was unrelated to workers and designed the experiment so it would give this result.

That's the whole point. The experiment is not that we're supposed to be surprised that the workers did not affect performance - in fact, that's the subtext of the whole thing! We know it from the start cause he explains exactly how the process works and we can all see that individuals cannot affect their output.

The point is, if we are unaware that we're in such a situation, we can still find metrics to allow us to rank workers, fire low performers, give out raises, etc. When we myopically focus on such metrics, and disregard the system that makes them worthless, we're making all our decisions on random chance, even though we have a clear process, data collection, the whole thing.
If there was something else that they could be making that kind of money for that little work, they'd already be doing it. Apple got lucky with a lock-in ecosystem and they obviously design great hardware, but I don't see them just up and deciding to dominate another market to make similar profits just because they're Apple.
I've just replaced my hood vent to something larger, and am installing a duct fan above it, in the duct that exhausts outside. I think this can be a good mitigation, without the need for worry. Doing a "candle smoke" test, very little makes it out from under the hood, as is, and the fan I'm installing is about 5x the airflow of what's there now. Most vents have very poor fans built in, in my experience. Of course, this only works if you're in a climate where a large exchange of outside air won't cause a problem.

If you have a smart oven (or a little heat detecting sensor with an esp32), you can buy a smart switch to turn the fan on whenever the oven is on.

For modern stuff, others have suggested the Raspberry Pi 400. Which is just... talk about the modern implementation of the "keyboard thing you plug into a TV" home computer! It runs Linux and other modern stuff -- can't be beat if your kid wants to do Scratch or Python.

But if you really wanna go oldschool, there's THEC64 from Retro Games Ltd. Sure, it's an ARM SBC that boots straight into VICE. But the effort, polish, and craftsmanship they put in to making a modern replica C64 experience is second to none. The keyboard looks and feels like the real thing, and you can boot into BASIC or (with a USB stick) any other C64 programming environment. (I got Forth running with no issue at all.)

The kid's probably gonna find it quaintly retro at best. But if they're curious about programming they may wish to find out just what they can accomplish with such a limited, retro machine. And a modern computer is a useful adjunct to help program a retro computer... thanks to powerful programming tools and decades of deep knowledge, the C64 scene has much better and more vibrant games, demos, and software than it did in the 80s!

Oh, and THEC64 doesn't have internet. Cocomelon does not play on it!
Probably the lack of an appropriate viewpoint to analyse it from.
You may be surprised to find that more than just your chair is affecting your back.

For example, the standard height of almost every desk you'll get in the US is 29.5". This is just about perfect for someone who's 6 ft tall. If, like me, you are shorter than that, a proportionally shorter desk will change the way you use your chair.

Similarly, when I started using a split keyboard, this obviously increased the comfort in my shoulders and upper back, but everything is connected and I feel like it was a good move for even my lower back.

As far as chairs specifically, I picked up a Herman Miller Mira from a used furniture warehouse. It was still pricey, but for me it was worth it. I was able to get the lumbar support just right, and I'll sometimes adjust it through multiple positions throughout the day, because it is easy to do without even getting out of the chair.

I would definitely figure out the proper height for your desk. I needed to go down to 26" in order to have my arms resting comfortably without having my chair pushed too high.
"Such a bump is the unmistakable signature of “resonance,” one of the most ubiquitous phenomena in nature."

If so then, physicists call "resonance" a "particle". Or what physicists call particles are resonances. But why? If you observe resonance call it resonance. I don't get it.
The public's attention and cognitive powers are finite, so it is best to not confuse the issues. The front and center message about climate change to the public and to regulatory agencies needs to be "cars".
Yes. Scala and Clojure are my preferred JVM languages, but there are certain frameworks that are highly useful but problematic when used with Scala and/or Clojure.

* Spring Boot for web services and application. Absolutely amazing and easy to use, my favorite feature is easy integration with external authentication services. Yet there is no longer much Scala support around for Scala and the Spring framework. Clojure may be a bit better in this case as Clojure collections implement the Java collections interfaces unlike Scala. Another issue is heavy use of reflection by frameworks like Spring which tends to work poorly with Scala.

* Android applications. Dalvik is a register based and not a stack based VM; scalac produces code optimized for OpenJDK which may run inefficiently on Dalvik.

That said in these cases you have the option of using Kotlin. While it does not differ terribly from Java, it supports pattern matching (which I don’t believe is supported by Java, but I may wrong as I haven’t used versions higher than 8 extensively.)
> The question is, why did the FPV-experiencing consciousness happen to bind to the body you are in? And why does it stick?

You're asking questions equivalent to "why does the interior of a box happen to bind to that particular piece of folded cardboard? And why is the same interior there when the box is closed and reopened?"

If each brain has a consciousness, and each is uniquely generated by that brain, the 'binding' and 'sticking' questions go away.

Each solution to the Schrodinger equation describes a different kind of particle. We assume that QFT is deterministic and complete so each particle will have exactly the same properties as the others of its kind aside from position and momentum (as far as we can tell).

As a fun consequence, the theory treats all particles the same -- even so-called quasi-particles! The difference between fundamental and other kinds of particles is that the fundamental particles can exist (at least for a short time before decaying) in vacuo.

You gambled your money against other people. You won, and they lost. Their losses paid for your house.

12m y/y bitcoin is up 8% and the S&P is up 18%, so if you gambled your money into bitcoin a year ago, you made a bad choice. Note that last week bitcoin was down 5% y/y. Bitcoin, y/y is hardly beating USD inflation, right now, after a major increase in the price today.

Also, stop comparing a speculative asset to a currency. USD isn't meant to be held as an investment. It's meant to be spent, or invested in an asset that appreciates more than inflation.
