IKEA at least was, the last time I shopped there, willing to sell at different levels of build quality. Some products cut every corner possible in the name of cost, but also passed a noticeable portion of that savings to the consumer. Others used some slightly better materials in places where the results mattered with predictably good results. As long as the consumer made an informed choice the result was as desired.
I think Andre the petty thief being robbed (or freezing to death, or ODing) while sleeping on the street is not ideal, but better than the status quo where we actively support and encourage his activities in the city. Why would we be humane to someone who fundamentally doesn't respect others' rights?

I have contributed to both Firefox and chrome, and the amount of legacy code in Firefox makes it so arcane & recondite. They haven't even upgraded jsm, xpcom etc..

And if you apply your logic to chromium. It is being forked and there are many browser like Vivaldi, Brave, Edge etc.. Open Source is definitely not an empty slogan. If there is product A and B, people will choose A if A is better, easier to maintain and popular.
HA remote access is not paid only, it works fine if you make it accessible from your local network. You can also do Google/Alexa integration on your own, there are instructions in the documentation.

The paid service handles SSL and dynamic hostnames for you without having to expose stuff on your network. It also provides the cloud endpoint that Google and Alexa require. They in no way stop or impede you from doing any of that yourself, however.
I even hate laptop/modem/smoke detector lights.
I just want to mention that these algorithms were known way back and it is sad that the authors of CRAN package do not acknowledge it in their docs:

2. O(KNlogN) dynamic + divide&conquer algorighm from 1989 from Xiaolin Wu and John Rokne (http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/75427.75472)

3. O(NK) algorithm from 1991 by Xiaolin Wu (http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0196-6774(91)90039-2)
I don't think what you're calling weasel words are weasel words.

"Up to 50% faster!" is weasel wording. It says "slower or faster, but not more than 50% faster," but it sounds like it's saying faster.

What GP is asking for is calibrating for uncertainty. Phrases like "I've seen this tendency in multiple teams I've been part of," or "study[ref] after study[ref] has confirmed this" help clarify what premises and hypotheses are well-supported by prior work/experience and what is the author's speculation. IMO It serves a useful purpose!

As a step beyond that, I use this script: https://github.com/mkantor/docker-pushmi-pullyu

The approach seems to work quite well in many other cities, as close as 5 miles away from Seattle. If you hassle them, they'd go somewhere else. Does it solve THE problem? No. Does it solve A problem? Yes. The hassled people will mostly move somewhere without the hassling. Hence, dumb people who refuse to use the hassling approach will get what they want - endless opportunities to be humane. If absolutely everyone starts hassling them, the problem will become less concentrated and hence easier to address; plus the incentives would change for the people themselves, definitely having effect on the margins.

I've had jobs where there's been on-call and you can have the pager all week and nothing happens. I was very fortunate to be in a team that had a well matured and very stable service, however when it did go down, it went down hard. Recovery was a well oiled and documented procedure and the environment could be brought back up in under an hour (provided nothing else went wrong -- it rarely did).

Today, my job is very different. It's a whole different playbook. 6 months into my role, I was asked to go on the on-call rotation. I learned enough to get through it, thankfully one of my colleagues were available in case I hit a situation I couldn't handle. Almost 2 years into the job and I don't sweat it anymore, I know enough of my service to fix most issues and now appreciate the escalation procedure. I will kick it into gear, even if I need a storage admin to give me a few GB of disk space to get me through the weekend. :)

"anymore"? Was it really any better before? Not having a standardized packaging system in C++ has been a problem for as long as I can recall. It's reasons like this why header-only libraries are so popular. You can basically copy paste something into your project and (hopefully) call it a day. Of course, there's lots of caveats with that but I'm not sure there's anything that could be better. Maybe vcpkg manifests, but getting that into standardization/wide spread use is going to be tough.
I imagine that makes the slow Denise of Sears/Craftsman particularly unfortunate then.
What's been everyone's experiences/takes/opinions, specifically with not doing Hackathons? My org is moving them to quarterly-we used to have one yearly-I skipped the last one, probably going to skip the next one but I wonder how long that's going to last before someone in management sticks a head up and asks why I'm not participating (a question for which I have an answer ready to go)

(edit: and by "hackathon" because I realize there's a bit of room for ambiguity, I mean internal corporate Hackathons where the company "allows" dev teams to take a "break" from "regular" work in order to ideate and build new features and functionality that--if their idea gets chosen--becomes "regular" work in and of itself. It's those kinds of hackathons I've started removing myself from)
How many famous scientists are you aware of who were conservative? I assume Edward Teller was, but I'm not sure.

Weak form efficiency - https://arxiv.org/abs/1002.2284 is one such proof.

For strong form efficiency (which requires markets perfectly reflect all available information) -
You would have trouble finding people who still believe in strong form efficiency.
The weak form paper above cites several papers that go into why strong form efficiency is impossible. There are formal proof versions around. In practice, even empirical studies of strong form efficiency haven't supported it either - it's just very easy to find practical counterexamples.

The model underlying k-means is that all the data is distributed into k hyperspheres. In the simple 2D case, that means drawing k circles around your data points in a X/Y plot such that the inter-group variance is minimized. This is bad because in the real world, data is typically grouped in an elliptical or irregular way.

The CEO raised her own wage repeatedly while the Firefox market share tanked, during which she directed spending to useless projects that were all eventually shelved and proceeded to plaster Firefox in ads (full page after update) when it became obvious her strategy was an abject failure.

Firefox development itself has been rudderless and lethargic for a long time. WebKit introduced backdrop filters 7 years ago and Firefox is still working on implementing them. [1]

I don't think that's a particularly high standard. The CEO is a failure and the board is incompetent for not firing her years ago.

Sexual misconduct is rampant in academia. The power dynamic is beyond fucked. I know of a professor who started fucking his undergrad while married. He's now divorced, promoted to head of the department, and trying to marry his now-graduate student.

My SO has a PI that comments on clothes, touches arms, stares at chests, and plays abusive mind games. Why? Because he can. Because a graduate student can't do anything about it without derailing their career. And professors don't do science, the grad students do. This is the root cause of the replication crisis.

This is just nitpicking. The wealth differential produces by the ox for 15 years of its useful life requires very little extra labor from me, the ox raiser.
That's why they have a category for "capital". If some people build a factory, it is technically labor, but it will be enabling the creation of extra wealth for decades, to some extent centuries. Who should get this wealth? The labor 50 years later working at the factory has no moral claim on it.

Because I think it is rarely that clear cut once there are enough variables at play. I wouldn't want to read news stories along the lines of "there is no war; it's all a hologram," but a generic story framed in pro-Russian terms still has value and is not "disinformation" just because we disagree with it.

Until very recently Russians were not blocked from the global information. It was gradually shut down on TV, but people can still read what the rest of the world thinks on the internet, including in Russian language. Yet most people resist exposure to anything conflicting the state's point of view.

I personally thought that Russia proved that the total mind control is possible without cutting off alternative points of view and 1984 is exaggeration, but apparently it's not enough in the time of crisis like invasion of Ukraine. Now they have to introduce 15-year prison sentences for telling that the "sky is blue" metaphorically speaking.

The travel-related things can be solved.

1. Public Transit options (bus, tram, subway, rail) are all available in the USA. Yeah, it "sucks" but there's a bus route for all corners in the USA... and some cities have more advanced options.

2. Public Transport itself can use alternative fuels: Ethanol, Biodiesel, Electric, Hydrogen, Nat Gas. Transitioning a bus from crude oil/diesel into (whatever) will affect dozens, or even hundreds, of people. Especially if we work to fill up our busses for this incoming wave.

3. Some counties / states may not have the resources to transition public transport to alternative-fuels. That is okay, we don't need to reduce all of our oil consumption, just enough to "survive" until the long-term solutions exist.

4. FlexFuel (aka: 85% ethanol fuel), Hybrid, PHEV, and Electric cars exist as individual options. Pushing the standard from E10 (10% Ethanol) to E15 or E20 could very well handle the rest of the impending oil-crisis. All cars built since 2001 are designed to handle at least E15.

5. Carpooling. A car with 5 people in it is basically as efficient as a 30-person bus. If you can't use public transit, create efficiencies by pooling cars together.

Transportation is one of the biggest users of energy consumption in the USA (https://www.eia.gov/totalenergy/data/monthly/pdf/sec2_3.pdf), and IIRC, a significant amount of our transportation-energy is simply cars carrying just a single-person.

Natural Gas seems more difficult, but in the USA Nat-Gas is basically domestic. This will be a bigger issue for our European friends across the Atlantic.
Well, that's an interesting strawman...

If you want to willingly give over your personal information and privacy, which in fact Microsoft does take from you (no need to speak of supposition), that's certainly your decision to make and it's not my place to tell you if that's what's best for you or not. I also think you are imputing motive to Linux advocates that's not real - I don't think any of us are trying to tell you shouldn't be allowed to do what you want with your personal info. We are saying that if you use those systems, the only way you get a choice in the matter is if you go to significant lengths that defy how the vendor tries to force you their system. You are free to embrace those terms as much you like.

The "in exchange for working software" is also a needless swipe. Maybe there's some contingent of Linux users that use it just because they love tinkering, but most Linux users do real work with our systems. Personally, I'm more interested in the work I do with my system than I am with working on my system.

You did not understand my comment - I said Featured Snippets are NOT necessarily facts and DO link to the source.

Featured Snippets drive a lot of traffic to sites and as a publisher I instruct my writers on how to craft their sentences to make it more likely we will get a Featured Snippet. Yes, Featured Snippets probably reduced the CTR for pages that were previously ranking #1 but that comes with an increase in user experience.

Part of the confusion here stems from the fact you used an ambiguous term like "infobox" that has no real meaning and I interpreted as the box that appears on the sidebar when Googling certain topics (like somebody's name). This typically pulls data from Wikipedia and Wikidata as FACTS.

So if by infobox you meant Featured Snippet then your comment was incorrect because Google does in fact always link back the original site (maybe in the last they sometimes didn't? I can't speak to that but I'm doubtful)

Also I'll just say this - the website in question in that article was relying on Google for all their traffic for a very particular type of query. That is just stupid. I'm a publisher and wouldn't be able to sleep at night if my site was like theirs.

Technically Net Worth is a fact and that's why Google was trying to put it in their Knowledge Graph. But since it's not typically public knowledge it becomes more of an opinion. Hence, it's a Featured Snippet with credit to the source. That site is just mad they don't always get the Featured Snippet so their traffic went down. They weren't complaining when Google was ranking them #1 were they?
Yeah I had a similar discussion with a friend. If China was serious about trade and the international "balance" they wouldn't be sending money and arms to Russia, which looks like they probably already agreed to
Part of the genius of FAANG is being big enough to do it all yourself. Want to make your aging PHP codebase faster? Just write your own PHP JIT (twice!!). Want to do RPC?

(Note that most things that FAANG invents are never open-sourced, or someone open-sources a knockoff of it, such as Google's Borg vs Kubernetes).
