You do not understand correctly.

Facebook (and other ad networks) want credit if someone clicks on your ad, spends time on your site, but then doesn't actually buy anything until a couple days when they enter the URL directly (i.e. not clicking on an ad). This is the problem generally referred to as attribution. Facebook (and others) do this by tracking everyone all around the web. They track the ad click and then they track you going back to the website the next day, and they know it's the same person.

Ad attribution directly depends on pervasive tracking.
While I like this project, freecad is badly in need of a UX overhaul.

For example things being split into X workspace that you have to constantly switch between (each with their own toolbar layout) is not a good workflow.

Being able to use this around metal is also huge. It means you can use it on patients with metal implants or bullets in them, to guide surgery in real-time, in the surgical suite, at the same time as other medical instruments, at the patient's bedside instead of in a dedicated room that you have to transport the patient to, etc.
It also didn't get nearly as cold as last year, and not for as long. Plus, the providers ramped up production the first evening to the point where wholesale rates were negative to incentivize more usage.

Another week+ of 0 degrees would likely have not been as smooth...
The universe is incredibly intelligible and follows invisible laws. That, per definition, is a supernatural observation since we can’t touch the invisible laws.
Is macOS a separate "thing"? Does macOS wholly belong to Apple? Do I have the "right" to develop a Mac app without Apples say-so?

I don't say this to be combative, I just don't see the difference between iOS and macOS in this regard.

> High churn improves the bus factor.

High churn is a high bus factor, like by definition of a bus factor. Bus factor => people had kids, retried, got a better offer, got fired, or were incapacitated (the proverbial bus) on a moments notice, and thus are abruptly unavailable to maintain your systems.

Churn is not a mechanism in itself to reduce the bus factor. It doesn't encourage people to mitigate the bus factor, because if you're going to be pushed out anyway, why bother building something sustainable?

I could see the argument for a probabilistic approach in that the company continues to function with critical systems being black boxes that teams have so far successfully scrambled to replace (with varying degrees of success), kind of like a more permanent Chaos Monkey for an entire system instead of cells within an system.

However, that does seem like it would waste a bunch of time, money, and opportunity on churn to deliver what you already have instead of using experience to improve/replace the existing systems.
You'll get downvoted but it's true. CC is out of control and has gotten far, far worse over the past decade. It's one thing to call people out for stupid stuff and racism, it's quite another to dox them on the internet and call for their total destruction of their worth as a human being who was stupid but can probably change or be educated.
Yes, C is full of footguns; that's one fact that has motivated the creation of alternate systems programming languages.

I think your definition of footgun is different from mine and that of the commenters you're responding to (and how I've generally seen it used).
I'd be interested to see the results of this poll compared to the monthly "Who is hiring?" thread. Are the distributions the same? Is there a supply/demand mismatch?
That may be the public way of explaining it, but I see it slightly differently. Amazon doesn't like "good intentions", rather it prefers "mechanisms". We all know that managers should put low performers on PIPs, but Amazon doesn't really trust managers' good intentions. It wants to make SURE that low performers are put on PIPs. The mechanism they've selected is an unregretted attrition target. The target represents the number of people they expect to be under performing and only applies to orgs greater than a certain size.

It was OK. Though unlike with GTA 5 I got bored with Sleeping Dogs very quickly. Same with Cyberpunk.

Trying to introspect on it I believe GTA 5 character acting is just a few orders of magnitude better.
It would be cool to see it relative to the population of the country.
Sure, you can even say that both France and Germany just have larger populations than Italy.
But still I would argue that being open to the international tech scene is pretty important to have a local tech scene. It's also crucial to keep up with innovation.
Power grids tend to fail just about everywhere that experiences extreme weather. Its not necessarily a US-only thing. Its just that the US experiences a pretty large share of extreme weather compared to most of the developed world. Far more tornadoes, hurricanes, wildfires, etc. affect the US than say, Europe.

I think the future is indeed self-hosted. Nowadays, it is so easy to set up your own server running your own apps (e.g. your own blog instead of Medium, Nextcloud instead of Dropbox, etc.).

This was the most helpful for me, thanks!
I operated a whole bespoke enterprise build farm for iOS that did hundreds of headless xcode builds per day, plus I wired up automated app re-signing with a signing identity repository. It's a pain because Apple isn't super helpful if you're not on the straight and narrow path, but it's not rocket surgery. Just hooking up some actions to automate a build and install when 'phone plugged in' event is detected isn't that hard.
It shouldn't even be a choice. The whole concept of IDFA is incredibly anti-consumer. It shouldn't exist.
"because not enough people will care enough to pay for the price difference" the emissions are invisible, and thus people don't have the choice whether to pay more or not.

Especially as a lot of the consumption is indirect - you don't buy the gas, but you buy a meal in a restaurant that was cooked using that gas, or a car whose manufacturer bought the dashboard from a company that bought the plastic from a company that made it using gas from the national gas market, where all gas is fungible and it doesn't matter how it was produced.
(vastly simplified) MRI basically functions on two fundamental mechanisms--"spin echo" and "gradient echo". Spin echo signal is described by T1 and T2. Gradient echo signal is described by T1 and T2*. The difference between T2 and T2* relate to local magnetic properties of the tissue which is called "susceptibility". Blood contains iron so its presence alters T2* and this is exploited clinically. A good example of T2* imaging used clinically is susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI).

T2* effects increase with higher MRI main field strength. From what I can tell so far these ultra low-field scanners have to rely on spin echoes.

OK, another dumb question from a neophyte here, doesn't the Heisenberg uncertainty principle make it impossible to know the size of a proton for sure? It seems like if you cannot not know the position and momentum of a particle then measuring its size exactly would be impossible?

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take the time to give me an ELI5 on this :)
Not on the spot, a condition for the answer to be accepted is that the language must exist before the challenge, but yes, many languages exist only just for the purpose of golfing. Mathematica is a legitimate language though, it just is the case that some operations are surprisingly compact.
Hey,

I am building a product and do indeed have to use different feature flags for different plans. I look over your landing page, but I am not really sure how I could integrate it into my application. My platform is a self-hosted PHP application.
The original quote made a comparison between cash and debit/credit cards. Cards are easy to use, too, so clearly "understand" here does not relate to user experience, but to the complexity of the system itself.

In my country, electric showers are common. The water is in direct contact with an electrical resistance. I've seen people from other countries calling these things "suicide showers" but nobody here bats an eye.

> You don't (and shouldn't) have a "right" to develop for it on anything but Apple's terms.

Sometimes I wonder what today’s computers would be like if Microsoft had exerted that level of control over DOS and Windows. Forget downloading some random exe you found online, only approved programs can be installed. Would there have been a booming software industry? Would there be so much malware? Would Microsoft have allowed things like the first web browsers?

No comment on the merits of operating systems as walled gardens. I just find it fascinating (and difficult) to imagine how things might have been.
Since tax situation is usually very different for different people and in different tax jurisdictions, it would be safe to say that this is considered income before taxes.

The big question here is why should Apple be entitled to any fee whatsoever if a user wants to buy something from a vendor without using Apple's payment infrastructure? Users should be free to transact directly with vendors without involving Apple if they don't want to involve Apple (which the court case approved) and if they aren't involving Apple, as in this case, a demand for a "commission" on non-Apple transactions is anticompetitive and should be prohibited by law.
It has the specific requirement of _not_ being an EU citizen.
One of the prerequisites is that the candidate does not otherwise need a visa to travel Iceland. Which means that foreign nationals who reside in the US and work in the kind of jobs that will meet the criteria Iceland is looking for will not be eligible for this.

> I believe Dennett is an eliminative materialist, so he would consider qualia to be an illusion.

That's correct, mostly, but it also means this position is nonsensical.

What is notable about qualia is that it is possible to have them at all. An illusion is definitionally a qualia. You cannot have an illusion without qualia existing.

Dennett tries to finesse this, but in my opinion fails. I think he wants it to be possible that you can somehow experience things in a non-mysterious way, and this this non-mysterious experience explains the mysterious experience stuff. I think he's wrong.

furiously trying to list every vaccine mandate precedent

Strange phrasing given that you claimed that there were no precedents and I merely brought up precedents in response. I'm not sure how listing historical legal occurrences would cause you to infer such emotional weight to them as to describe them as "furiously" obtained. It's a discussion, that's all. It's been a bit one-sided discussion, because when you are met with counter evidence you level vague accusations of subtle psychological motivations instead of giving a reasoned response.

I'll give you an example of a more productive & reasonable way to respond to the precedents I listed: The precedents are too old and the current situation too varied from them to have any bearing on current legal decisions on these matters. The United States has had more than 100 years of growth & maturity surrounding decisions on constitutional matters and advancements in constitutional scholarship, and during that time has had occasion to revisit decisions that now seem problematic in light of those advances in legal thinking. Additionally, smallpox was significantly more lethal than COVID. Up to 30% might die of it, raising the stakes far above COVID. As such, even granting that the US constitution would, today, allow for those historic measures, we are not now in a situation comparable enough for them to be required.

There you are. That response would have been a more productive conversation to have, specifically addressing my counterclaims without resorting to ad hominem attacks or avoiding the issue all together. We could then have gone on to discuss that in more depth, even if I partly disagree with what I just wrote, a devil's advocate rebuttal to my own rebuttal of your claim. It's a shame you didn't go down that route. It's pretty pointless to be here unless you're simply looking for rhetorical point scoring instead of discussion. Which bring me to:

>let the reader determine

That would be a major difference between you & I: I don't think about other readers when I post. It simply doesn't occur to me to filter what I write through that lens. Until you mentioned it, what other people reading this might think hasn't crossed my mind. It's simply not what I focus on.
Isn't that just layering an extraneous concept on top without explaining anything? Is there a difference between experiencing something (real) and having a "simulated" experience of experiencing it?
Analogies are great for suggesting ideas but useless for reaching firm conclusions.
Does resonance work at other scales too?

Say, perhaps, an audience waving their hands to the beat of the music? The muscle movements would then require pressure from the heart, which begins to beat synchronously as well.

Also, what about very small respiratory particles; could they be resonated and "dance themselves to pieces" by using light or sound at the right wavelength?
Why compare a low level language to a high level one? Of course one will be more complex, because the GC takes many of the details out of the picture, reducing the essential complexity of the problem domain.
CBN is harmless this isn’t even remotely like smoking cigarettes, in fact CBN can also help you sleep.

I really liked Google Inbox.
I went from Gmail to Inbox and then Google pushed me back to Gmail...

Many have said this before, but it would be really cool if there was a law or something that would encourage our motivate companies that go bankrupt or get shutdown to open source their code or product.
So firing someone for trying to switch teams is company policy? I doubt it. Many managers are ass holes because that's the definition of their personality.

I feel ass holes should definitely be singled out so that they can't be managers again for the future.

There are no trees in Iceland. It's fine to look at for a week and the northern lights are a novelty, but the US and Canada (even California alone) offer much much more in terms of nature.
> Your math seems to be off, 250kcal apparently yields 8.8kg difference a day.

The difference per 1000 kcal seems to be 5.15 - 1.17 = 3.98 kg. Where do you get 8.8 kg per 250 kcal? Maybe you were looking at the least-efficient beef? 8.8*4 = 35.2 kg per 1000 kcal would match the "beef (beef herd)" value.
I just think we should allow both options to compete and flourish. As you point out, each has their merits. If users end up preferring walled gardens and appliance-style devices, then shouldn't that be what they get?
It would never cease to amaze me how many bills that are proposed as solutions to truly abhorrent things, like child porn and sex trafficking, are in reality just trojan horses for something else.
> it's better to take the less opinionated road (SPA in this case), so you can be more specific later

Can you elaborate on this a bit? Are you saying that an SPA with React (+ other server-side pieces in NodeJS?) would have been the better choice than the Rails + some React mess you wound up with? What about sticking with just Rails, no React?

Thanks for your time.
i wonder if the reverse is true. If you were very old and floating in space after the last blackhole has evaporated, entropy is evenly distributed, and time becomes meaningless would your consciousness end? Without any input there would be no output.

edit: i suppose a counter point would be sensory deprivation tanks should reduce your consciousness however most report it to be enhanced during the experience.
> Do I want a convenient and cheap mode of transportation that allows me to get me from my white picket suburban house (which I also want) to other places I have to be? Yes. Do I also want a cheap source of energy to power various creature comforts in my white picket suburban house? Also yes.

Neither of those requires unsustainable energy production.

That's just ideological propaganda that ignores the last 200 years of economic theory and observations.
I'd pay a premium to shop at a store where I could buy something quickly. Vs Apple stores where first I have to flag down someone, then they go tell me to stand at some table and wait, then 5-10 mins later someone comes to help me and ask too many questions, then they say in 5-10 mins someone will bring out the thing I wanted. And finally I can buy >:( Even ordering online for pickup my stuff wasn't at the pickup counter and they had to call into the back room. That might be fine if it was unannounced but they made choose a 15 minute window to pickup. You'd think they'd prep for that window. Instead of waiting until the pickup time I could have just gone to the store without the preorder and waited a similar amount.
They want non-EU persons that dont need a visa who are already making at least $96k/yr remotely

They know what they’re doing :) who is left? U and S
The webpage specifies that it is _not_ available to citizens of EU/EFTA countries. In fact they can already work remotely from Iceland without any visa requirement, thanks to Freedom of Movement agreements.
Relationship between blood type and outcomes following Covid-19 infection (2021)
I recently left Amazon, and I don't think the stack ranking is to blame for the reduction in talent (which I also noticed).

Amazon doesn't pay top dollar for engineers, and the delta between Amazon and other companies is growing every year. (The compensation ends up being competitive when you take into account stock growth, but the new hire offers are not attractive.) And it's a very results-driven, stressful work environment. The effect of that is that people who get better offers go elsewhere, both new hires and existing employees. Those who are left either don't feel like interviewing or interviewed but didn't like their other options.
I'm an ignorant layman here, but the uncertainty principal only says that if you're sure about the size/location, then you're very unsure about the momentum. It's possible that measuring its size does not need much certainty about its momentum, so they can get the accuracy they want.
If I'm blindly shooting a lot of bullets at a lot of ducks, I should be hitting some ducks. If I then count the number of shots fired and the number of ducks dead on the ground I should be able to calculate the size of ducks with high precision.
It's easy to forget we're only as populous as a medium-size city. Ireland punches above its weight in soft power and influence, really.
> Turned out to be the opposite for me, and in fact was far nicer than the company I worked for when I was working for him.

The company is the same for everyone (ie un-humanistic in its management), and if and when your personal circumstances change, you'd then perhaps see what others currently in it are moaning about.
You can develop apps all you want, but Apple can break them anytime with updates. iOS and macOS are marketed and positioned by Apple differently. One is an open platform, one isn't. This is and should continue to be at Apple's sole discretion. If they choose to update macOS to be a closed platform, they certainly have the right to do so, don't they?
>There should be a worldwide tax on producing greenhouse gas. Extreme economic, business, travel, etc, isolation on every country/corporation that doesn’t subscribe to it. Bankrupt them into the ground.

But this punishes poor countries trying to modernize. Shouldn't the US pay for the ~412 billion tons of co2 it has dumped into the atmosphere since its inception? Same goes for EU.
Just try a simple experiment. It will only take 10 minutes.

Set an alarm on your phone for 10 minutes. Sit down in a quiet room. Close your eyes. Your goal is to observe the physical sensations produced by natural breathing in your nose for the 10 minutes. Give it your full attention and not miss a single breath, and really feel how each breath in and out feels at the tip of your nose as the air passes it. Easy, right?

Except you will probably find that before long, instead of having your attention on the breath like you fully intended, your attention will be on some thoughts. Where did the thoughts come from? Were 'you' thinking them? Or did the thoughts just arise and steal your attention, despite YOU fully intending to be paying attention to the breath for the 10 minutes? What is then your relationship to 'your' thoughts?

If you're curious, there is bottled Kvass in Russian grocery stores. Probably Cinderella bakery in San Francisco has the real kvass - you have to call though. My grandma used to make it out of the rye bread. And if you're curious, in Soviet Union fresh kvass was all over the place.
Yeah I’ve noticed this too. But also the rest of the front page is often either seo spam (like those Pinterest links which catch whatever search term you’ve used) or shopping sites. I’ve found google search to be increasingly hostile to its customers.

I guess we’re not the customers. Use duckduckgo or something else.
