I don't know about ethics, as such, but you, as a consumer, can make decisions that are better than others. For example: it's better for your health to eat pasture-raised, free-range animals (and stay well away from feedlot raised). The nutrition profile of the meat is much better. Try buying from a butcher instead of a supermarket, and you'll be supporting a small business and probably get better product. Buy good quality and have it less frequently, than buy poor quality and eat it every day.

Ethics aside, you can do compensatory actions in another area. Tree planting, habitat rehabilitation, eschew car ownership and take the bus/bike/walk, invest in renewables, donate to or volunteer at environmental charities, volunteer etc. To be effective, I guess link your meat consumption to your compensation. Eg: every 1kg of steak donate $2, or 10kg plant a tree, or whatever ...

You also aren't obliged to eat meat all the time. Why not just twice a week?

Wouldn't variance be influenced by a similar bounding effect but this time from the upper side? That is, if your true skill is 98% you aren't going to ever overestimate by more than 2%, but if your true skill is 50% you could be off by up to 50% in either direction.
True, talking to a hearing specialist, they didnt know histidine can reduce hearing loss, now whether this is due to histidine being a precursor for histamine which can help white blood cells move through tissue, or because it can play its part in remyelinating nerves isnt clear.

Manganese could also play a part because its the most abundant metal in hair samples which might translate to the hairs in the ear. However to get it there, you'll need to increase your cysteine intake, but we dont absorb it easily through the gut so we have to use N Acetyl Cysteine...

SO many chemical variables....

BBEdit was a very good replacement for MPW and Think C's front ends that pretty much everybody bought and used daily. Then CodeWarrior came along and it wasn't really that impressive anymore; still useful for the odd "gremlin" zap or gigantic, bloated folder grep that choked everything else you threw at it back when virtual memory was an aftermarket feature you had to buy from Connectix, but by and large it just sat there on your drive most of the year. It enjoyed a brief resurgence in popularity when Project Builder was forced upon everyone at Apple and folks grew tired of dealing with an impossibly bloated text editor that couldn't keep up with an average 13 year old's typing speed. A lot of teams with the clout to do so simply refused to touch any of the NeXT junk so they didn't have to bother with getting BBEdit to play nicely with PB--the Finder in particular remained a PowerPlant app built in CodeWarrior up through 10.4 I believe.

If your notion of web development is rooted in cgi-bin directories, server-side includes or maybe PHP 2 then BBEdit is more than adequate for your needs. It stopped being practical for anything "modern" anyone would ever want to do around 2005. You can argue that "modern" web development has gotten well out-of-hand and that you shouldn't really need all those ridiculous plugins to accomplish the basic task of putting a blob of HTML on a screen but that doesn't alter the reality of the transpiler quagmire we've let the Facebook kids drag us into one DockerCon at a time.

BBEdit's primary use case these days is giving John Gruber something to romanticize to hipsters who read books about LaserWriters. Blah blah blah Markdown blah blah blah my kids will die if they see a carton of milk on a billboard blah blah blah James Bond marketshare blah blah blah blah blah. The Simpsons shouldn't have lasted 30 years and neither should any piece of software.
Agree with both you and Yishan on how social networks are simply trying to extinguish shitstorms. Yeah, for my part, hope Elon can just focus on solving real problems instead dealing with the rolling disaster area that is a social network (seems like Yishan himself seems jaded and cynical about the experience). Just doesn't seem worth it!
A bit of complications, but we do talk, and no one complain about the other that much.

I guess I consider a company dying the "powerful losing power".

Its essentially what his whole thread was about - companies don't care about the politics - they want to survive. And they will survive at the expensive of society's well-being.

This part I have a little bit of trouble with. If you have a trivial domain, sure. In my experience domain knowledge takes a while to truly get your head wrapped around. But I expect that's why there's always other things that people do in an interview.
> To ban a democratically elected president of the united states. Quite dystopian.

Just the opposite! Can you imagine a social media company in Russia banning Putin or China banning Jinping? Somebody would get disappeared.
My favorite front end interview did this exact thing. The interview started with an issue taken straight from the Preact GitHub codebase. The interviewer provided the issue text and the commit right before it was fixed to pull down onto my machine. I had an hour to figure out how to build and reproduce the issue, Take in the high level structure of the code base, figure out how to drill down in a debugger to find where the issue itself was occurring, then propose a fix for it. Took the whole hour but was both extremely satisfying for me, and I imagine very insightful for the interviewer.
I imagine if an ETF accidentally exceeded 15% then the board would go talk to the fund managers and maybe get them to sign some documents. This isn't a computer program that will automatically trigger armageddon. It is just some new rules that mean if you turn up at a board meeting saying 'haha, I just bought your company and you are all fired', the board gets to say 'nope, we just issued a bazillion shares and gave them to all the existing holders except you, and you now own just 14.9%, sorry not sorry for your loss'.

What if Tesla stock tanks (it could happen) forcing Elon to sell stock to repay his debt incurred to buy Twitter. He could decide to dump Twitter instead in a fire sale, massively undercutting its value and hurting it in the way Yahoo and AOL were hurt by the constant swaps.
Huh? The point is that your attention (and vision) isn't nearly as divided when driving with a stop sign than with a roundabout. You don't have to multitask nearly as much; you do one thing at a time. Less division of attention = less car accidents.
They can be fun, but I wish we had actual oversight and regulations to protect us so that we didn't have to think about what kinds of shadowy things companies might be doing with our data.

If someone is worried about DDG, I can't blame them. They have every reason to worry, because we have no protections. Personally, while I sadly can't discount the possibility, I'm pretty sure DDG isn't run by google or the NSA, and they've been my search engine of choice for a very long time.

"Where an inflammatory component is suspected in bilateral Ménière’s disease, short courses of systemic glucocorticoids may be appropriate. It recently has been shown that glucocorticoids not only influence inflammatory process in Ménière’s disease, but also alter fluid dynamics via an interaction with the sodium pumps in the semicircular canals (Ponduglula et al 2004). Intra-tympanic application of corticosteroids appears to have only temporary effects (Dodson 2004) and is probably not recommended"

"Everyone wants to believe they'd be great survivalists."

I think this is a gross misconception. I doubt most people want to be survivalist. It's possible they just want less government telling them what to do, especially in their private life. You could have a minarchist government where people want to contribute to their government/community. We see this to an extent in rural areas.

First computers made for datacenters in cities or for corporate offices.

To be more exact, first computers where made for telecoms standards, because in telecoms where large volumes for telecom equipment, when upgrades telecom generation, usually new eq was smaller than old, so they accepted to rent volume to 3rd persons.

Telecom datacenters usually have reliable power supply, air conditioner, and some standards on power, on size/weight, on networking, on heat waste.

Also appear corporate dcs, which usually avoid some telecom standards, but mostly they copied telecom.

In many corporate dcs create their own specialized configurations, usually three types - app server (number crunch), storage (many disk drives) and database, also some use universal platforms, and now added GPU or other number accelerators.

Now appear new class of applications, where also need computing power, and they have some constraints, but standards does not exist yet.

For these new applications traditionally used typical desktops or even notebooks, but this is not enterprise way, they are not reliable, not good suitable, and expensive to use, and that's why appear new class - edge computing.

As I know, mot edge computing devices are essentially notebooks platforms, but in rugged cases and without display and without keyboard, just mainboard with integrated interfaces, but they mostly specialized configurations to save space.
In some edge computers I seen integrated battery.
Lowest common denominator database feature set makes a DBA sad. I love SQLite, but Postgres is just so much more feature full, it's no contest.

If all you need is what SQLite can provide, go for it! It's lightning fast and astonishingly low overhead.

My argument against that narrative is if you crave interpersonal connection, there are healthier ways to engage in that through actual friendships and hobbies, than within the forced artificial construct of corporate hierarchy, rules, incentives and power structures. I can't imagine as an independent contributor this would be productive or desired.

In my experience, I've found managers very enthusiastic to RTO as it gives them more validation, and increased productivity through monitoring - under the guise of building team rapport.

Oh yes, my parents were extremely earnest about trying to be good parents. They just couldn’t do it, and it was really sad. I think trying to give them credit for their intentions and what they were able to do for us helped me.

When I was a teen, I used to think about having kids so I could do a better job. Once I became an adult I couldn’t even consider or conceive of it.
> ..as in just pushing some deaths a few months in the future

I don't get the impression that the people in charge, or the people not-in-charge in China, agree with this assessment.

I.e. to quote from the thread

...

> being extremely inconvenient for everything and everyone and damaging to the global economy

As above, to again quote from the thread I linked

> Most Chinese have experienced few significant restrictions in the last two years due to COVID-Zero, fast lockdowns, and mass testing done at under 100 cases. The first time we hear about something new being tried- straying from that, it's an unforgivable human rights catastrophy.

No, and people perpetuating this myth is what annoys me - that physical size is comfortable for me and that's what I use on a daily basis.

Try 8px font of full-width Chinese characters on 14" 1080p next to the same effective physical size on a 4k and if you still tell me it's too tiny to tell, well, I guess we have different eyesight and preferences.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around this. I can understand removing stop signs in some parking lots, for example, but I have a hard time imagining removing the ones at cross street intersections, even if they're converted to yields. When people talk about removing stop signs, I imagine they'd include streets like [1], and I don't understand how that's supposed to work. Could you link to a good example of a street or two on Google Street View that is an actual public street (not a parking lot or such), and where speed limits are (say) over 15mph, where you think removing stop signs would be a good idea? Maybe my imagination is just lacking but I don't see what people are thinking of.

e-ink is definitely worth it if you enjoy reading.

For reading linear text, get a kindle or a kobo. By "linear," I mean not a text book or reference text that you skip around a lot in.

I have had a kindle for over 10 years now and use it all the time.

I would suggest trying to get your hands on a kindle and a kobo to see which one feels and reads the best to you. My kindle feels great.

I hate being essentially locked into the amazon ecosystem, but it's not that big a deal. I can e-mail books to myself but it's not as seamless as I want. Once the books are on there, it's great.

Hmmm, I've not heard anything re: bite killing. It's definitely had points where it affected my ability to chew due to things shifting, but that's been easily countered each time by my Ortho just shaving down or adjusting the appliance - it's been due to my bite putting more pressure on the left or right row as I adjust. Other than that, over ~6 months so far I haven't really had much to note. I just wear it while sleeping and periodically while coding (since I'm not needing to talk during that... it's like "free time" for it to work) and it "just works".

Quality of sleep is through the roof, I'd forgotten what good sleep is like. If I miss a night of sleep with it (e.g, I travel and forgot to bring it with me) I absolutely feel it the next day.

Tinnitus-wise, I noticed that it got worse at first but then settled and is actually more in the background than it used to be. FWIW, I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember, so I'd consider myself ~90% habituated to it - it doesn't bother me outside of any concern of it getting worse. I think this has made it easier for me to objectively judge whether something is helping or not - if my tinnitus is never cured, but never gets worse, I'll be fine.

https://vivos.com is what my Ortho got me on. I can't speak to others, but this has worked well for me so far.

Twitter could build their own multi-part reader functionality, but I'm content with using this tool.
It is said in art circles that there is a special place in hell for critics. This review does not show what the title alludes to, instead jumping directly into prurient intimate details and claiming authority via historical list making. The writer says themselves at the top, that the biographies of Tolstoy have been done to excess already, though few at YNews may know them. If you are looking for a gossip piece, this is your start.
Interesting. As a point of comparison, when Microsoft bid a 62% premium for Yahoo back in '08, Yahoo stock spiked about 48%.
Doing the math, the market placed the likelihood at 48÷62=77%.

In other words, the market is wildly optimistic.
Read Passages by Gail Sheehy. Was close pre-teen, while a goody two-shoes, I pushed them away a bit teen years (most of which were spent away at school). Got rather frustrated with them early working/married years but it recovered rather nicely afterwards. Now, as they're long gone, would be nice to have them to talk to.

They had baggage which I ended up carrying a bit. Folks, don't "stay together for the kids" as the kids know what's going down. Balancing sux.
