Yes, like every sales tax, VAT, etc used everywhere around the world except for super liberal places like Montana.

Calling these taxes regressive just a socially acceptable way for people to say “I don’t want to shoulder any burden for this”.
> Ok, but an order has an array of order lines, and each order line has sub-arrays as well, like details of the packages it was shipped in etc.

> So that might be 5-10 calls to get an order line, and for a few thousand lines we're looking at several tens of thousand calls to get a full order.

You definitely need to pick and choose the granularity you offer. There's a level of normalization in data structuring that approaches absurdity and this would be a good example of an absurd case.

It is however an excellent demonstration of why making overbroad "you must never do X" rules is dangerous.

I think a decent test is to ask yourself the question: "How much data is here that I don't need?"

In the example referenced, if I'm looking at the full order history, I probably want to see only summary/header data with the option to view the full order details, so it wouldn't make sense to return to the user potentially a hundred thousand order lines' worth of data just because they're trying to view their history.

If I then want to view the /orders/:id for one specific order, at that point it does make sense to return all of the related lines, shipment details, etc.

Some thoughts on undergraduate expansion (2021)
You can already use SwiftUI to build apps that work on both macOS and iOS, so the libraries are there, Apple just needs to use.
Yes, I get that. The problem is there isnt much for the browser to base its heuristics on. Would you send HEAD request for all the listed assets to at least get file sizes? This will be slower and might be even more traffic than just grabbing first one.

Requiring listed size/quality for all the sources might not even be feasible without further automation on the server side, not to mention potential content mangling/"optimizing" proxies/appliances.
95E10 is well over 2 €/L (like 7.57 $/gallon?) everywhere now. If it keeps the same 125-litre tank as the normal TRX, it'll cost you >250 € to fill it completely up.
AppKit and UIKit are very different. SwiftUI and Catalyst are the unification efforts, but uptake is gradual. Anyway, once you throw icloud.com into the mix it doesn’t matter.
Around 300 bucks is about right. Good thing is, it's all basic mechanical tools that do a lot of other stuff. And it includes the specialized tool, e.g. for the carbs and the prop shafts. The same tools are needed for the mechanical repairs on modern cars as well, so.

Some power tools help, again those do other things as well.

If you cannot do most of the repairs on an old car yourself, they are unaffordable. Garages, if you one willing to work on them, charge around 100 bucks per hour where I live.

My problem is, despite being an industrial engineer, I seem to have a blind spot for electrics and electronics. Mechanics are much easier. The main reason I will never switch to eletronic fuel injection, I can rebuild the carbs in the desert and can calibrate them. EFi goes over my horizon so.

> Of course trusting one party is better than having to trust two

I wouldn't trust Google to block its own ads, it is much harder for them to intentionally fuck up a generic API that can be used by others without raising suspicion. Hence why everyone calls them out on the manifest v3 changes.

I also wouldn't trust Mozilla to invest the manpower to keep the plugin running and with them already including ads in the browser itself I would see another acceptable aids policy on the horizon.

For a job like this in specific I would rather trust someone whose goal is to provide a great internet experience over making money, I couldn't name a single browser vendor who would qualify.

Because building a sufficient number on nuclear reactors will take a comparable amount of time to building a sufficient number of wind turbines, PV panels, and storage, while also posing problems with public acceptance and nuclear proliferation. It's also unclear whether that would be cheaper or more expensive.
I think you're correct on the oxygen. If the atmosphere is richer in it you will just breathe shower or shallower.
If you try breathing to fast for your body needs you might faint. I think it's called hyperventilation and it's not pleasant.

An mRNA vaccine could be designed tomorrow to target claws instead of hands, the issue is how long it takes to test them / get approval to use them, not how long it takes to develop them.

In the case of an incredibly rapidly mutating virus like COVID-19 it's just not worth it to go through that whole process every time it goes from hands to claws to hooves.

Barring breakthroughs in the construction and operation of nuclear reactors, nuclear power is not a short term solution. We can't build thousands of nuclear reactors globally and staff them with qualified personnel when constructing a small handful of reactors already takes 15+ years.

There's not really much evidence that Kerberos was ever insecure to expose publicly - this seems to be more heresay then any actual problem.

The biggest problem is the client setup story - and that honestly has more to do with the very inconsistent support in the application space then any real restrictions. It's "enterprisey" and has no story where the user owns their own device (then again so is SSO and Microsoft would like all Windows machines to be joined to the big microsoft.com realm in the sky anyway).
Speak the truth! If you have a white handle umbrella it’s a “give a penny, take a penny” situation. Countless times I’ve had a newish one taken and the only one left is some crappy junk that’s rusted out as half the spokes broke.

I get it though. They are all similar (even though they are not, some still have the plastic wrap or price tag on the handle). Mistakes are mistakes.

What really pisses me off is when you take a nicer one (those clear ones are crap) and it’s totally different from all the other umbrellas and it goes missing. No excusing “sorry I mixed up my clear umbrella with the white handle for your clear umbrella with the white handle”. I hope there’s a social place in hell for those people.
I’ve had the opposite experience. And just to be clear, I’m talking about the US.

I noticed a purse left unattended at the bus stop. I saw a bus in the distance, and assumed the owner of the purse was on it.

I called the main number for the nearest police station (at least, the one listed in Google Maps). Around 15 minutes later, an officer arrived, checked the purse, and found a wallet. After getting information from me (any idea whose it was, did I touch it, etc.), the officer took it to the station’s lost-and-found.

I disagree. We're not guessing blindly. We have plenty of evidence. Russian media predictions are not evidence, were plainly wrong, and are now plainly propaganda.
Yeah. Police should never get a pass for inappropriate actions or behaviour, but at the same time, I wonder how I would view the world if dealing with this stuff all the time.

Police basically have to deal with people at their worst. Most confrontational. Most violent. Most emotional. I don't think I could do the job, not in a big city, without becoming jaded fast.
> good, widely distributed Schelling points (koban and, to a lesser extent, commercial/transit centers information/etc desks)

These aren't "schelling points". The nearest appropriate location of whatever kind (koban if it's outdoors or somewhere small, information desk in a mall or station) is likely obvious to both the loser and finder given the context and is no more a schelling point than, eg, the local hospital if someone got hit by a car.

A real Schelling point is more like, eg, the statue of hachiko in Shibuya which is so famous a landmark and prominent in everyone's shared cultural understanding that if you told two strangers to meet in Shibuya with no other information it's actually pretty likely they'd both just go there by default.

> both do the right thing for lost/found items and are widely believed to do the right thing explains most of it

Yeah, but what you're missing is the expectation that the finder will do the right thing too - which is absolutely cultural.
There's typically business-logic ways to require a range to be specified, and then you specify a maximum range. For example, if the resource in question is audit events, you require the user to specify a time range, up to a maximum of a day, or seven days, or whatever performance / budget constraints allow for.
Hah. If you worry about malicious employees I can tell you that SSO is the opposite of a solution.

Most SSO integrations have very bad Single-Sign-Out design, if any at all. So as long as the token in your session has not expired yet, you have full access to resources, even if account is blocked in the Id Provider.

In my experience, in major American cities, anything valuable left in plain view in a car is stolen within 30 minutes (and that requires breaking the car window or picking the lock). But you're saying that things dropped on the ground will not be stolen, and instead returned to the nearest police station if only there was one not too far?

Could you provide any arguments or evidence to support your claim?

This makes me sad. Crypto is filled with scam artists and centralization and nefarious dealings.

but... The things some coins (And i hate naming specific coins because there are alot but) Polkadot, Filecoin, Solana and many other coins are doing is astounding. They have real rock solid teams and plenty of funding. Should these coins succeed in their mission, technology will be forever changed.

Don't invest in coins just because you think they will rise. In the long term, it will just create more shitcoins at the cost of the real technological next steps. So, before you buy the next shiba just because it might 100x, remember you are voting with you money at a cost of your otheer coins you actually beleive in.

It's a shame what became of CNN. It used to be my most trusted news. I believed everything they told me.

Their credibility allowed them to be carried into very dark territory and they took me with them. Once the cracks started to show through I started looking into other sources and slowly became totally disillusioned.

They are a political mouthpiece more than a news organization. They sowed so much division in the country and created false narratives at the beck and call of their political benefactors. The Russia-gate scandal was a total fabrication that they reported on long after the facts and government investigations showed it was all bullshit and continued to spread misinformation and strife among the citizenry.

They don't inform their viewers, they weaponize them.
> In contrast, a neural component is a (typically over-)parameterized, differentiable blackbox function that does not have an a priori specification.

> The holy grail for research on neurosym- bolic programming would be a general learning algorithm that could efficiently generate arbitrary combinations of neural components and symbolic code.

This is one area where the authors may be missing the point of the parallel distributed processing approach. The authors treat ANN’s as blind guesses from massive training data, but they forget that in most cases the choice of training data is the a priori specification.

Additionally, an ANN can be comprised of multitudes of types of artificial neurons. While some learning models are designed to discover relationships between complex data, other learning models are designed for simple data. The simpler the training data, the easier to assign a meaning to the output.

Simple back-propagation was followed by the development of deep learning and complex network architectures. The explosion in interest in deep learning is, in part, due to the realization that complex neural architectures can be comprised of a variety of neural components in a variety of ways and that the resulting neural architectures would almost certainly avail us with solutions that span the entirety of possible problems to solve.

That is to say, deterministic behavior (“symbolic program synthesis”) could be implemented by an ANN, if the ANN had the required minimum complexity.

Since the minimum complexity of such an ANN is currently incomprehensibly high, due to deep learning being in its infancy, there has been a heavy focus on striking results with low complexity.

In my view, instead of trying to bring back the zombie of symbolic programming for AI, the authors’ time would be better spent on contributing novel, highly complex neural architectures.

For example, some biological neurons in the visual cortex have been shown to be responsive to single individuals faces. If there is one neuron per face, then there could be thousands or more of face neurons in the visual cortex.

Where normal deep learning would focus on parameterized feature recognition for face detection, a highly complex neural architecture would focus on multitudes of small models that are trained with minute data sets of individuals per model.

A standard deep learning “face detection” model could then feed the training of the “face neurons”

Layering other types of neural architecture around and within that multitude of models, along with some other neural architecture that generates new “face neurons” to be included in the multitude, would provide both the robustness of deep learning and the determinism of symbolic programming. Each “face neuron” would have an a priori specification of which particular face data was used in its training. One could even imagine further granularity such as “smile neurons”, “chin neurons”, “pimple neurons”, and so on.

That is neuro-glial programming, a subset of Parallel Distributed Processing, not neuro-symbolic programming.

> Of course, petrol costs a lot more in Germany than in the US. In practice, that tends to limit driving much more

Not really. People that drive a lot or like to save money just buy more fuel efficient cars - whenever I read about fuel efficiency of US cars (and bother to convert gallons and miles to units I understand) I am shocked how super inefficient many vehicles on the US market are, especially given that speed limit - likely due to much lower petrol cost.
This.

When I “search” for something, I am searching for it. I mean, it’s the definition of the word “search” for crying out loud. Somehow over time this idea of a “search engine” got perverted into something that either tries to predict what I don’t know I really want or what someone else thinks I need to see.
The point isn’t that you need to do those things, just that the line is arbitrary, those on one side are precipitating the demise of our planet and those on the other are wackos, righteousness lies on the line itself.

Here's my anecdote: I lost my phone in Japan once, in Tokyo. I was steaming after a night of karaoke and somewhere between the bar, taxi and my hotel, I'd lost my phone. I wandered down to the street at 3am, retracing my steps, and a police officer noticed me and asked what I was looking for. He pointed me back to the hotel reception where where we got on the phone to the taxi company, and then directly onto the driver, who said he hadn't found anything. What was odd, was that I didn't know the taxi company at all, the receptionist had just remembered what I pulled up in.

Accepting that I had lost my phone in a foreign country, I went back upstairs and found it immediately upon walking back into the room. I'd just dropped it under my bag. I went back down and apologized for wasting the receptionists time, but they wouldn't accept it.

The morale of the story being that there was no shortage of help, and that I was a big dummy.
> it's just not worth it to go through that whole process every time it goes from hands to claws to hooves.

It's not that it's not worth it, it's that this approach doesn't work. Evolution is a remarkable force, and unless there's a good reason for the part of the virus/bacteria/amoeba you're targeting to stay that way, it will change to escape the selective pressure against it. We're more-or-less seeing this with SARS-CoV2, even though the virus is a relative amateur at genetic drift.

OK, you may say "let's target the vaccine against a part that doesn't change"...that's great, except that those parts tend to be so common -- so "evolutionarily conserved" -- that you see them all over the place, including, often enough...your own body. Train your immune system to (over)react against common antigens, and you're going to cause problems.

The primary reason that vaccine development is difficult is because you have an extremely high bar for effectiveness, coupled with an extremely low bar for side-effects. And even if you find such a unicorn target, you have to make sure it stays magical over time. The mRNA technologies are great and do accelerate things, but ultimately, the speed of the Covid vaccine development process was more about our willingness to throw huge money at the problem and eliminate all development and liability risk, than it was about any particular technology platform.
Unfortunately the public was told last year that the vaccines were near perfect and vaccinated people wouldn't get sick. Here's the head of the CDC at the time saying vaccinated people "do not carry the virus" and were 90% protected against infection: https://www.businessinsider.com/cdc-director-data-vaccinated...

The CDC needs to be explicit and clearly admit that it was wrong or the data changed, and that vaccinated/boosted people can and will get sick or even spread disease to others. The new 'deal' is that they will likely not be hospitalized or suffer severe disease if infected.

Far too many people are still walking around thinking their shots and booster, now nearly 6 months old for some, are an impenetrable force field against any sickness.
Pre-covid, the majority of tourists were from China and East Asia in general. Given their need to isolate upon re-entry, not many of these will be returning very soon.
Cursor-based pagination doesn't solve your state issue, it forces the server to create a copy of state for the cursor request. This is complex to implement correctly - for example, if the user does not actually paginate through all the entries, when do you dump the unused cursor? If the user issues the same request over and over, do you return a cached cursor or re-copy the state into a new cursor? If you re-copy the state, are you defended from a malicious actor who sends 1,000 new requests? Of course, all these concerns can be mitigated, but it's easier to just design without pagination in the first place if you can.

> The state of the server can change between fetching the list of IDs and operating on them.

Right, for example, a returned ID may have been deleted before the user can issue a query for that resource. But this is usually far more comprehensible to clients, particularly if the resource requires authorization such that only the client is permitted to delete that resource.
No, it’s not. It sounds like you still air traveled in the last decade. Your emissions are likely higher than someone who has never air traveled and drives a truck around their local town.

Where does your electricity come from? Ecosystem destroying dams or fossil fuels? The PNW is pretty bad when it comes to energy and I would much prefer you move to the desert where you can live on solar or vote to put in some nuclear. Both of those would be vastly better for the earth than your plan for a vegetable farm.

Japan is often taken as an example for this kind of things, but I think the overall thing can span to most of Asia, though with varying degrees.

Singapore would be an even greater extreme. I remember a friend telling me he was seated at a restaurant table, and two girls on the table next to him go out to smoke outside. The waiter came back to give back the credit card to the girls and found their table empty. The waiter then proceeded to give the credit card to my friend and told him to hand it back to the girls when they come back from smoking. The waiter apparently considered absurd the possibility of my friend keeping the card for himself and leaving.
App Store was rewritten in 10.14 and it no longer uses a Web View for the main content, some Apple ID setting might still be Web Views.
