One source is not evidence.

This is the core rule I learned as a researcher. More often than not, reputable journalists will get it more right than wrong on aggregate. On average, the numbers published by reputable journalists will be right and not misleading.

These are some interesting examples, however, the core rule: "One source is not evidence" is probably more important here to remember. Read a variety of sources and articles. I often find that sometimes in the same paper they will contradict numbers. Then I know, the editor missed it.
I've been using Linux Mint Cinnamon for years, doing mostly programming, and honestly I've encountered way less issues than with Windows. Maybe it's because I'm using old hardware. I'm very satisfied with the experience as it is by default, not much need for customization or tinkering in my case.
more like 'california considers codifying that which is already known'

many of the largest employers like amazon, walmart, and fast food already restrict their employees to <40hrs to conspicuously avoid paying any benefits to employees. salaried employees wouldnt be affected by definition.

what good does this serve? i guess it squeezes reprehensible companies by forcing them to pay healthcare/benefits, but the reality is likely that companies will just further divide and conquer the employees workday.

Well given a lot of claims about sodium and heart failure seem hyped we shouldn't be surprised.

Don't know of its my opinion of the field or the journal but i don't rate the lancet highly after digging into most higher profile papers.
I believe cloud revenue in Yandex structure is quite low and main business in search/ads
Given the large, monolithic legacy nature of our backend, we use a combination of JIRA for feature tracking and each story gets a corresponding functional test implemented in CucumberJS, with the expectation that once a ticket is closed as complete, it is already part of ‘the test suite’ we run during releases. Occasionally the tests flake, it’s all just webdriver under the hood, so they require maintenance, but to cover the entire codebase with manual tests even if well documented would take days, so this is by far our preferred option.
> You may notice that the US population has grown, and continues to grow, and the abstract group comprised of "people who rent homes" continue to grow, and to need more to rent.

"People who rent homes" aren't some special type of consumer that isn't interested in buying a home. While there are situations where renting is preferable even if it's possible to buy, many renters only rent because it's not possible for them to buy a home. Any potential benefits to renting are generally outweighed by the fact that you're not building any equity, and have limited control over the place they live.

Massive corporate landlords aren't providing a service to meet a demand. They're actively creating demand by driving up the cost of home ownership, and limiting the amount of properties available to buy. A potential homeowner has no chance of competing with a massive corporation when buying a home.

Obviously there's a huge amount of factors that got us here. Housing is hugely complicated, and no single group is responsible. But corporate landlords are one of the factors making the North American housing market worse, and are one of the things we need to address if we're ever going to decrease the cost of living in this country.
This study looked at a stricter sodium goal than is typically advised (<1500 mg/day). Usually I counsel pts on less than 2000 mg a day which is what the control group targeted and seemed to achieve. This study is useful in that it shows being more restrictive isn’t necessary, but those with heart failure should still try to avoid excess salt. It is very easy to hit double the recommended intake with a typical American diet. The average American salt intake is about ~3400 mg/day from some studies.

Edit: after reading some of the replies I think there’s confusion about who the target population is in this study: it’s people who already have heart failure. I could have added in my comments that I was also referring to ppl with heart failure.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorinert#Toxicity Fluorinert has to be limited to closed systems because it has "high global warming potential", it can decompose into a highly toxic gas, and "care should be taken to avoid contact with eyes and skin" (I'll admit I'm not sure how all this squares with the 'inert' in the product's name)

To me this sounds more difficult to use than mineral oil, not easier.
Or perhaps its just incredibly automated. I'm sure a civilization that advanced could at the very least automated the mining aspects, if not the actual construction.
How much time do you spend on your phone each day?
I'm trying to reduce my screen time (atleast on the phone) and tried to setup Digital Wellbeing app on my Android phone. When I looked at the dashboard, I can't believe I spend 2~3 hrs each day on the phone.

I do not use social media other than Hacker News and Reddit, but still my phone keeps me addicted to it. Mostly it's YouTube, Web, Reddit and HN. Every time I browse through these sites, I assume I spend 10 mins but the actual stats reports otherwise.

How much time do you spend and what are your strategies to reduce your phone time?
Commodities are often quoted down to very small fractions of a cent, depending on what it is; you round using the normal mechanisms or have a separate agreement.

If some people are actually using it as a means to store value outside governments reach, then you might dislike the usecase as much as you like. People are using it that way, so it's a valid usecase. Like I said, there is not much to discuss here anyway.

Edit: if you are not willing to admit that crypto allows you to store or move value outside of governments reach, then there is 0 reason to discuss further. And it doesn't even matter at that point who is wrong or not.
Other than an ideological argument of preferring taxes over outright bans, I feel like the effect is the same. If foreign investors are indeed the ones pushing price up orders of magnitude above inflation, they clearly don't care about prices increasing tenfold. So it seems the tax would have to be insanely huge to actually achieve the same effect.

And honest question: why do we want foreign investors buying homes anyway? I understand buying commercial locations, but not residences.
Before refrigeration salt was the most popular method of preserving food, so do we really consume that much more of it compared to people who lived in the past?

"Everyone can distribute" only if they're willing and competent to take on the jobs of marketing and distribution. Having heard much the same argument in relation to writers and self-publishing, it's a complete nonsense. Do you really want your favourite artist to spend 80% (arb. number made up for illustration) of their time doing stuff (marketing, that they are quite likely not much good at) or would you rather see them spend the time on the stuff they are good at -- the art?

There's reasons these publishing/distribution industries exist, and I'd not wish their work on artists. The art is hard enough to do on it's own.
Most of my products lately are some backend servers that respond to remote requests from SPAs or various sister backends. All servers are written in modern C++ and each one is a single executable. The performance is stellar. Modern C++ along with some libraries helps to keep application specific code small - about the same size as if written in more "traditional" web languages.
Most people here don't fit into the target group (ambulatory heart failure) being studied anyways.

State sales tax laws are all over the place; in many states the general idea is "don't tax necessities" which leads to silly things like buying a sandwich is tax free (like socks in Minnesota), but if you ask them to warm up the sandwich BEFORE sale it is taxed.

This is not true. On the contrary, Yandex's business has suffered greatly. You can see it for yourself here https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/yndx

> I don’t know, I am a recent convert to Mac but OSX is much much more buggy than ios (I guess due to tech dept and backwards comp?)

Agreed, but iOS is playing on easy mode: it sandboxes everything to a high degree, everything running on it went through some amount of checks to make sure they won't mess up the system, it routinely kills processes so apps must be written to resume properly from a cold start, and it (even today) has relatively limited multitasking. It both doesn't let programs do as much, and encourages or forces developers to employ practices that (I suspect) tend to improve program stability.

1. Start with a product/project brief that explains the who, why, and what if the project at a high level to ensure the business is aligned.

2. Architecture and design docs explain the “how” to engineering.

3. The work gets broken down to stories and sub-tasks and added to a Scrum/Kanban board. I like Jira, but have also used Asana and Trello.

Testing is just another sub-task, and part of the general definition of some for a story. For larger projects, a project-specific test suite may be useful. Write failing tests. Once they all pass, you have an indication that the project is nearly done.

You can skip to #3 if everyone is aligned on the goals and how you’ll achieve them.
The "golden age" of legal streaming media certainly didn't last very long...
Eh, you do you. But I'm guessing this is perceived as anti-social behavior and will hurt your career a bit. It's always good to build relationships. Results matter, but promotions always tend to go to friends. And the connections you make at one job will continue to pay off long after you cash the final paycheck from that company. Hard to think of any job where being social with your coworkers isn't the right play. Think of it like contributing to your 401k, or going to the gym. Putting in time to build out your network will make life easier down the road.
Let's pretend we're Slashdot for a second and use a car analogy. The least expensive part of Alfa Romeo's line or Ferrari's line is not a low-end car. Even Porsche with the Cayenne, much lower-tier than the rest of their stable, is not selling a low-end vehicle.

There's a very large spectrum, yes. Apple's least expensive system is maybe near the bottom of middle tier with no options but can be ordered in a configuration pushing $2000. Their most expensive machines are near the top of the middle tier or the bottom of the top tier. I think you meant to mention terabytes of RAM for the high end rather than gigabytes. I think of things like the Talos II as top-end workstations - something that starts around $9k and can easily be configured to close in on $40k for a single desktop workstation.

None of this suggests that because Apple doesn't sell a less expensive machine that they cater a product to the low end. They actually, truth be told, sell a less expensive machine that the Mini, because the Air includes a screen, keyboard, pointing device, and battery in its price. If you compare an M1 Air to the low end of laptops and other mid-tier laptops, you'll see it's closer to mid-tier than low-end in pretty much every way.

It's not so much a question of whose business it is. It is more a case of policy being a very strong force in creating (sometimes positive) change.

If societies had relied on individuals to negotiate these types of deals themselves, we'd still be working 60-hour 6 day work weeks with 2 weeks of annual vacation days (which is very little in places like Europe).
For sure, that part is understandable and the current install is pretty simple since FDE avoids previous steps. But for a while it was _really_ difficult to find the needed info (had to read through Github issues and find specific comments embedded in extremely long threads)
"Of course too much is bad, too much of anything is bad, that's what 'too much' means." - Fry and Laurie.
To take a minimal case for an example - if I hire two people, pay them $20,000 each to produce widgets and then sell those widgets for $100,000 a year respectively, and keep the remaining $60,000, would you consider that exploitation considering that I contribute nothing to the continued economic activity? This is the form of exploitation I was referring to.

For a contrasting example, I prefer cooperatives where the people involved in the business control it democratically (which can still include directors and managers).

Many writers like them because they seem to have made both costly and cheap signals to show that they are on the side of writers:

(1) they say they are "anti-censorship" and won't evict writers from their "private platform"

(2) they let the writer own their audience / mailing list (so they can leave with their audience, if they want to)

(3) they advanced money to popular writers

These things with the addition of a simple writing/reading/subscription platform that isn't overrun with adverts gives writers confidence that substack is aligned with their interests and will make money while being on their side (this is true at least for now).

Additionally, the financial success of many writers on the platform has raised the status of creating a substack. I think this is an important secondary effect -- you can disparage this as "pseudo-intellectual" but there are people that are winning from it and doing well is always cool.

---

*Edit*: Put another way, Substack's success is due to realism. They've made a realistic attempt to incentivize excellent writers to writing on their platform. They incentivize even those that are already very popular, by not locking them in and by giving them control of their audience. They have even gone as far as giving very significant upfront financial incentives to get the most famous writers on the internet onto their platform.

Other platforms try to own their writers and treat them like commodities producing SEO content. This was obviously not an attractive offer to talented or independent writers, let alone writers that have already grown huge audiences.
Your point that the two creation accounts are different stories written at different times is well taken, and many people underappreciate that fact.

However, it is also important to recognize that they were brought together and redacted by an editor (or committee of editors, perhaps even spread out over time) that arranged and tweaked the stories. At the very least, it is easy to glean from the text that they are intended to form a whole "collection," with connections between the various myths. The textual evidence suggests that the connections are stronger than that.

So while it is the more common error to underappreciate the differences between the accounts, it is a less common but equally erroneous mistake to underappreciate the "unity" (of a sort) that they have.
In a small team, I have found that a simple spreadsheet of tests can go a long way. Give it a fancy name like "Subcomponent X Functional Test Specification" and have one row per requirement. Give them IDs (e.g. FNTEST0001).

What sort of tests you want depends a lot on your system. If you're working on some data processing system where you can easily generate many examples of test input then you'll probably get lots of ROI from setting up lots of regression tests that cover loads of behaviour. If it's a complex system involving hardware or lots of clicking in the UI then it can be very good to invest in that setup but it can be expensive in time and cost. In that case, focus on edge or corner cases.

Then in terms of how you use it, you have a few options depending of the types of test:

- you can run through the tests manually every time you do a release (i.e. manual QA) - just make a copy of the spreadsheet and record the results as you go and BAM you have a test report

- if you have some automated tests like pytest going on, then you could use the mark decorator and tag your tests with the functional test ID(s) that they correspond to, and even generate a HTML report at the end with a pass/fail/skip for your requirements
> Imagine blind bidding when interviewing for a job. Write down the number you'd be willing to do the job for.

You've got that relationship backwards. The person doing the job is the seller. They are the ones taking bids.

The employer – the buyer – is indeed blind. They don't know who else you are talking to and how much they are offering. If you can convince the employer that the other employer down the street has given you a better offer, they just might up their offer, and you stand to gain a higher income out of it.

So, yes, employment is a great example of where blind bidding is common.
So basically everyone affected will have their hours cut without a change in hourly wage. All these people are then going to have to find a second job to avoid losing 20% of their income. How is that not going to happen?

If your perspective is that people will sacrifice anything to own a home, then home prices are quite undervalued and have been for a long time.
No it doesn't. You merely have to show that you're willing to resolve conflicts peacefully first. Generally so far this has meant "don't be in any conflict", but nothing stops participants from agreeing that, for example, Finland is always willing to resolve things peacefully. And after all, the threat is "if you join NATO", which means while joining NATO they aren't in a conflict, only once they joined.
1, If you claim it, the comment will be sent to you via email. A cooperating web site can also embed the link. I am against javascript embedding though; too much of a privacy leak. So you cannot embed the comments directly in the original web site.

Yep. This is NOT the first study generally disproving a link between sodium and CVD.

Sodium is NOT the horrible evil it's portrayed as.

What is actually problematic is, if anything, an imbalance with potassium and sometimes calcium and/or magnesium.
Not... really? The problem with blind bidding is that it's iterative — that's the "bidding" part. People don't "bid" their own salary expectations down; let alone are they prompted to do so by their potential employer.

Researcher/Engineer in government here. The project I've been on for the last year has me averaging over a full day a week in meetings.

The PM (who has been in charge of the project for five years now and at the research center 25+) is "non technical", so she likes to have multiple tech roles in each meeting for "backup".
