The dissent starts on page 22 of that PDF, it's an interesting read.

"The text, history, and purpose of the FMIA all point toward the same conclusion: Congress could not have intended to authorize outright deception in meat labeling. Plaintiffs invoke state law to challenge precisely this sort of label, alleging that defendants mislead consumers about the origin of their beef products."
>>Ah, yes, funding DAs that let people out on cash-free bail so they can continue committing crimes that the people who donate aren't affected by because they are living a privileged life.

In the US, Tic-Tac has zero calories. The same Tic-Tac is advertised in the EU as having "2 calories".

If a pack full of candy, 0.5g (edit) sugar each, can be sold as zero-kcal candy, then what's the fuss with meat labelling? Not lobbied enough?

My current owen actually forces me to at least open once the hatch before allowing it to be switched on (I guess that it's to force me to check if anything was previously left inside).
People say this all the time, but I think it's an arbitrary and self-defeating perspective.

First of all, if you want to maximize personal benefit, it's not clear that owning your own business is the way to go. Sure, there's a higher ceiling, but many rank and file engineers at big tech are making $1M+ due to stock appreciation without working particularly hard. By contrast, building a business that you can even pay yourself $100k is non-trivial—either you raise money and take on a whole new level of stress that comes with investor expectations, or you do the bootstrap grind which has a high chance of failure and almost no chance of keeping it to a solid 40 hours/week.

Second, if you have equity comp you are in fact an owner. You might not have much direct impact to that number, but at least your interests are aligned. And even if you don't have equity, the quality of your work reflects on both your reputation as well as your actual skill development. Of course you should truly evaluate whether your company is treating you fairly and expectations are realistic, but do so objectively instead of starting from a management-vs-labor ideology.
No, a burnout is physical. All the stress burned out your body causing all kinds of issues. The first step to recover is 100% rest.

Quantum Computers Getting Smarter at Simulating Chemistry
I know someone who recently left one of Amazon's services {Video, Games, Music, etc.} and they basically had a free membership for dogfooding. When they left Amazon, the free membership was automatically set to renew on the monthly date for the full price of $20 or whatever it was.

i.e. they'd been charged 0.00/mo on X date every month while working for that org and then they checked after quitting and noticed it was set to auto-renew on the next date for the full price.

They didn't get any kind of notification about it beforehand. Canceling that was apparently the same kind of affair as this.

I guess part of it comes down to their ex-org's bug surrounding how a dogfooding prod subscription is granted/revoked but in the end they were treated just like a real customer.

"More effective electrocatalysts screening strategies are needed to establish the standard evaluation protocol for effective comparisons of the performances of catalysts from different research groups. Nevertheless, the surge of recent interests in nanostructure and lattice oxygen engineering of catalysts is expected to lead to new advances in the design of active, stable, and low-cost OER and HER electrocatalysts for the mass commercialization of water-splitting based hydrogen production."

You are exactly right our energy crisis is much more complicated than x bad but detailed nuanced explanations don't get the same sort of clicks as "Buzzword literally destroys the planet!"

People constantly ignore where does the energy come from? They seem to forget or more likely just don't know that we have an energy surplus of renewable energy. Solar produced during the day can't be easily stored and used at night when its needed, and it can't be used for industrial production like steal production. So what do we do with all the surplus free green energy thats produced around the world 24 hours a day?

If only there was a way to convert that wasted energy into lets say a distributed world currency that could serve the unbanked and make it easy to transfer money around the world with smaller fees than western union.

I am glad journalists are focused on clicky headlines and not solutions to world problems like climate change and economics.
From another point of view, our society has major market inefficiencies around resource allocation that we need to figure out. As a society, we absolutely need a free and open web (modern telecommunications). We also need other things like agriculture, energy, medical tech, sanitation, transportation, and education. Yet we pay people the most to work on ad tech. This is a major, generational problem.

Edit: I think we may be starting to figure this out. Google is slowly starting to charge for more services. Even Facebook is looking to introduce paid products (Quest). People are also learning from Elon Musk how much wealth can be generated by working on major human problems like transport, energy, and space access.
>And the function keys are an affront against all that is good in the world.

"Classic" Function keys are fine for what they are - dedicated, offset groups of four that 1:1 map to your fingers, facilitating fast and reliable(! Tactile discovery FTW!) hand travel away from the home row and back.

It's the "make one big sea of keys" approach and the idea that every key must be reachable without moving your hand that lead to the terrible abominations we often get today (sadly, on the current MS Ergo iteration as well...what were they thinking?!).

The far more interesting question is if you accept you have Xmbit to play with, what is better on a given platform (screen size, resolution, viewing situation, how well compression works, how much battery is used in decoding, etc)

In terms of cell phones, neither.

I know people who tried to push on with various cross-border activities virtually during COVID, some of which involved quite a lot of people spread out across Africa.

TL;DR it didn't work out that well.

African colleagues kept on dropping out of remote sessions because of various issues with local infrastructure (e.g. unpredictable local power supply killing cell masts).

But also there was a lot of feedback that Western style cell contracts with generous data allowances are either non-existent or atrociously expensive. So a lot of people just plain couldn't be online for long sessions and had to drop-in here and there.
> I can switch between mac and pc layout no problems, but when I learned to touch type on dvorak I forgot how to do it with qwerty. When I used a friends computer with qwerty I was searching for every key with two fingers hovered over the keyboard like a raptor. Maybe others can do it but I defiantly couldn't and found it very embarrassing to not be able to touch type.

It takes practice. I switched to Dvorak around 2001/2002, and my QWERTY typing speed dropped from 50-60wpm down to about 10. But I then spent a lot of time in offices and labs where I didn't have control over the computers, they were closer to "kiosk" systems (single-user). I could have added Dvorak, but it would have been a bit rude. If I forgot to change it back it would create confusion. If I had a keyboard shortcut to switch layouts, it could create confusion. And having to manually change it was too tedious to bother with, for me. So I just sucked it up and used Dvorak on my own workstation and at home, and QWERTY in the lab environments. I got my QWERTY speed back up to 50-60, and my Dvorak speed never dropped below 100.
Unfortunately, whatever body you create to watch the body you create that watches the body you create will have people in it that will be the target of lobbing.

You need to some how break through the selection process to appoint people of integrity and put enough safeguards in place to prevent conflicts of interest.

Unfortunately, I don't know of a single time this design worked out in the past and created a working entity.

Corruption is the standard because it's the easiest path. This is true in other arenas like plaintext vs all the work of adding encryption or screen time vs exercising.

All the laws in the world won't fix a mindset or mental attitude.
I also use Google Calendar, but in my experience sync between calendars across users is slow unless you send out invites for each event (instead of sharing a calendar). Calenday is supposed to be a real-time solution (updates happen near-instantly). It also allows you to add the plan to external calendar apps, but with a delay (imposed by the external service).

I hope for Calenday to implement features specifically for trip planning (although I am also trying to find other applications). Ideas I were considering are adding location-aware functionality like figuring out travel time and such.

> Why do you "need" to allocate it?

You don't "need" to allocate it. If you don't allocate it though, the buying power of your saved cash will decrease every year from inflation.

You can argue whether low inflation should be a policy goal of the FED in the first place - I believe it should personally, it incentivizes economic growth - but regardless, you have to take the situation as it is. Inflation exists and no amount of wishing will make it go away.

In the face of inflation, what can you do to at the very least preserve the buying power of your cash. If you do nothing, you can watch it wither away.

Currently, there are few viable options that will help you preserve cash; interest rates on savings accounts are 0, CDs are extremely low, bonds are low but starting to move up, etc. The only remaining option is equities (stocks, bonds etc).

> The whole concept of getting rich off your own money is honestly sickening to me.

What do you find sickening about it?

> Even my house, for example.. I don't consider an "investment".

I agree with this mindset. While you can take out a loan with your house as collateral, it's a bad idea to consider your home as an investment IMO. As you say, you ned a home to live in.

But housing that you own that don't live in can absolutely be considered an investment (as an alternative to equities) and this can be far more liquid since you don't need it to live in.

Not everything has to be thought of as an investment though. That's up to you as an individual to decide.
The Robot Has the View
Yes, but Buffet doesn't then turn around and sell at that higher price, and even if he did the price would start going down as he sold his position. If his purchase is bad, in the long run the market will punish him, even if the stock price goes up in the short-term due to the positive signal from his purchase.

I certainly agree that Buffet can make moves that normal people can't, though. Goldman Sachs in 2008 is a great example.
I canceled around December and it was shockingly easy. Just a few clicks and it was done. It even gave me a prorated refund for nearly the full amount of the cost of renewal (I forgot to turn off autorenew and it had been a couple weeks after the renewal). It was actually the easiest cancellation experience I've ever had.

I kind of wonder if they have an algorithm to check your purchase history and if you've given Amazon enough profit over the years (which I certainly have with over 23 years of purchases and at least 15 years of prime) then it just makes the cancellation a piece of cake.
The scary thing is that it's easy to see how something how like this could drive a market boom and bust cycle. I'm imagining a scenario where two iBuyer companies try to outbid each other algorithmically, driving the prices further and further out of reach of people who are looking for a primary home.

Tangentially related, I talked to a friend who works on geospatial data for one of the big vacation rental companies, and he was remarking how many homes in many desirable areas are now rentals. It's not that uncommon to see nearly entire neighborhoods converted to short term rentals now in some areas where they're still legal. Hearing that really depressed me.

We often talk about automation in terms of replacing various types of labor, but I've become really interested in automation creating adverse market incentives for smaller market participants because that's exactly what buying real estate right now feels like.

It's honestly quite scary how I'm in the top 2% of income earners in my generation and yet I could barely afford to buy a small place in a semi-desirable area. I can easily see myself not being able to compete in algorithmically dominated markets flush with venture cash in the future and I earn more than just about everybody I know today.
> Ethereum, the second most popular blockchain, uses about 1000x less energy per transaction

That can't be right.

Bitcoin and Ethereum use comparable amounts of power according to the daily rewards available (column "PoW Produced (24h)" in [1], while Ethereum's transaction rate is barely 5x greater than Bitcoin's.

I would expect the people already daily-driving ARM Linux laptops with GPUs that run slower than software rendering on M1s to be perfectly happy with the current state of affairs.

This is not to say GPU support is a long way away; it isn't.

> and that we may well have an M2 on store shelves before you've even got M1 support to a usable point.

You're assuming M2 will take another year. M1 Pro and Max took a week or so to bring to near feature parity, and M1 Ultra will probably take ~1 day. We aren't starting from scratch for every new chip.

I'm not saying everyone will be happy daily driving a laptop with no GPU (I wouldn't, not as my main machine). I'm saying some people will be (I would, as a carry around laptop for browsing and SSH).

> trust that the static types are truthful

That's often a mistake even in typed languages like typescript. Satisfying a static type analyzer isn't enough. Real data is whatever it is going to be. If your types are meaningless at runtime, you can easily encounter type mismatches.

Static typing as implemented in typescript and python type hints is a tool for engineers instead of a tool for systems.

>individual stocks also have the same systemic risk

What do yo mean by the "same" systemic risk? Yes, all stocks have some systemic risk, but at varying levels as measured by beta. I wouldn't say that's the same. That's like saying all sports have the same injury risk. Sure, there's some inherent risk in every sport but at varying levels.

There's an older investment technique called "betting-against-beta" that selects individual stocks due to the lowered systemic risk.
According to this recent article and discussion on HN, you are likely making a change for the best. So congrats and take it easy!

At least you can cancel Prime!. The NYTimes requires that you call a customer service representative to change/cancel a subscription.
