I think the bigger thing is that there is more bad products on Amazon now. I've found myself going to Target or other more specific stores (e.g. Rei for camping supplies, etc) for goods because a lot of the stuff I see on Amazon isn't what I want to buy. For example, I was looking for an adapter for my Macbook and all the adapters were basically just chinese rebrands of the same adapter. I finally gave up and got a Belkin one from Best Buy because I couldn't find a comparable thing on Amazon. I think this is happening a lot and really hurting them in that sector.
Depends on how you scope it:

Overall, the city’s population grew nearly 2% from 2010 to 2020 — from 2.6 million residents to 2.7 million, according to data released from the 2020 census. That’s a change from the population decline the city had experienced from 2000 to 2010, when the city lost nearly 7% of its population.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/8/12/22622062/chicago-cens...

But I think its fair to say that growth is generally pretty stagnant especially when you consider there are places across the country that aren't name NY or LA, that are absolutely booming (Denver, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Portland, Miami, Seattle, etc.)

> Probably a toss up whether the least affordable area in the midwest to median income earners is Chicago or Minneapolis? Either area, you will be paying through the nose compared to, say, here in Wisconsin.

This is true, but purchasing property in Chicago is relatively affordable if you compare against other major metros.

The point is this - housing prices in Chicago are somewhat stagnant by simple supply and demand laws, where the demand is not nearly what other major metros are experiencing in the country. This is good for buyers and bad for sellers. If chi/IL gov't stays the same, I don't expect anyone buying now will be in a sellers market anytime soon.
How can you grow when you sell 500B dollars of products per year?
I agree, enforcement matters. My opinion: In the last 50+ years, it's been a very bad bet to be against the USA. They generally get whatever they want.

If that's right or not, is certainly debatable.
Why the heck are SSNs still treated as passwords in the US?
> And where on the planet do you find oxygen in such concentrations?

That shouldn’t matter. My point is the standard being called for is ridiculous because it would also ban oxygen for being (1) toxic and (2) accumulating in the environment.
There have been exploits and there will probably be more in the future, see e.g. https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/09/attacking-qua...

No need for an external mic if they can just use your phone app + mic.
It does have a follow feature, but honestly I've never tried it. It's pretty easy to pilot, fwiw, and like most DJI drones has an incredible price to quality and features ratio. I'd be surprised if this drone comes anywhere near in range/image quality/features/etc. The form factor reminds me of the tiny-whoop class of FPV drones, which are super fun but not great outdoors as they will easily be blown away by even light wind. But I can see this having a certain appeal, as a drone version of a polaroid camera. It's also very cute!

Others exists, but yes, the only legitimate blockchain companies i know use it to stamp documents/emails. I also think a public blockchain can help democratizing a sort of global crypto auth like said in other comments.

But those issues, while hard to truly solve, are not really important, and can be tackled quite easely with third-party trust. I understand that we are more and more individualistic, that our social contract is dying and thus for crypto bros, a third party trustee is not an adequat solution.
Yes, that's why we generally disregard anecdotes and look at data:

Amazon has terrible morale overall, with a 2.7 / 5 Work Life Balance rating while most comparable companies, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Twitter, etc. are averaging like 4 / 5.
Fair enough, the team I was on is falling apart and even mentors are suggesting members transfer away.

I tried to bring up the structural issues of the team, but it took someone from another team to set them straight. I had already left by then.
I expect leaders to lead by example and to not punish others for behaving the same way leadership does. Leaders trashing workers isn't them doing the job they are paid to do.
We're not talking here about documenting apis.

We're talking about documenting an architecture, how pieces work together, what tools are available, where to put things, etc. Check the documentation of any major web framework. That's what we're talking about.
I'm not sure how that applies here, where the conflicting activities are both recreational and not producing of income. Enlighten me?
It's not just one source over the other, it is also the impracticality of the hot air balloon for this purpose, as I stated in my post.

This observation, borne out of my (admittedly brief) exposure to both hot air balloons (I know hot air balloon pilots and have ridden with them) and weather balloons (I planned, but did not execute, a project with my son's boy scout troop to launch a weather balloon to the stratosphere), combined with my engineering instincts (FWIW), convinced that the Wikipedia source was correct.

I'm not assuming that. I'm not saying that. I'm not asking you to do anything so what mistake is possible?

I'm not forcing you to drink, I'm not even leading you to the water. I said, in a very pragmatic way, that being just a cynic is a choice.

The people that such cynics are criticizing are and were also cynics. The users on the other hand, go ahead and make fun of them, they don't know shit. The builders that led everything to the state it is were and are cynics. I'm only saying this is what people are doing and that's the choice they took, its available.

So its not really as divisive as you think when its cynics all the way down.

Find someone else to convince you why that choice is viable for you. Everyone knows your stance, I don't care about that axe you to have to grind, my role was what I said.
And in order to come to any of those conclusions you have to get independent experts to perform a review. Your comment is an emotional defence of your own heuristics. Science requires verification.

Also, the ad hominem attack on people wasting their time on this kind of study is really weak. We should want proper reviews of all large scale industrial processes that release into the ocean. That does not preclude nuclear power.

Wow, we handle PHI and this is absolutely not acceptable. Glad we're not using New Relic but I'm terrified of Datadog doing this in the future.
>We contribute to human progress by empowering people to live in the moment

How is every social media company so painfully self-unaware? Is this just a "it's impossible to get a man to see a problem he is paid not to see" kind of situation or do snapchat employees genuinely believe that they are helping people "live in the moment" by developing an app that encourages the exact opposite?
I don't think the bloomberg explanation is right, because the net effect of imports on GDP is zero.

Assume you import $1 of goods, which are consumed. Then the GDP reflects $1 consumption (either private or government) minus $1 imports, for a net zero.

The goods may not be consumed immediately, in which case GDP counts $1 inventories minus $1 imports, still net zero.

The thing to remember is that GDP is domestic product, so anything produced abroad is irrelevant.
The problem is that the people who determine patent law (mostly patent officers/lawyers/judges) benefit from the current system.
Dear mdoms, first of all allow me to grant you that I will check the material you kindly indicated, when time will allow.

But let me confirm my point: if «tech companies have been intentionally [etc.]», this must involve their users, who have been using those services (I can guess which ones they may be) willingly, though innocently. Many of them should also have experiences the other side in life - I hope they received a decent scholarization - and could and should have seen the difference from that side to the other side, and act accordingly taking measures and distances. Many of us have tried experiences in our life, and noticed that they were leading them into something undesirable, and consequently relegated those experiences to appropriate spaces (if any) - this is perfectly normal.

In short: if visiting intoxicant.com makes you intoxicated¹, you should probably avoid it, or greatly reduce it, or manage it differently (actively)¹.

¹and note that while they may try hard, it's not an overpowering "injection" - I suppose it must be some bad habit they attempt to instill in users, and which the said users may dodge instead of adopt. You do have a will.
Wow congrats on making $300K doing nothing!

I realized this is very much the culture in Amazon now. Because they’re the top paying tech company it attracts people who work for money and nothing more. That creates…a certain culture.

True. It's been about 5 years since I built a new computer and so my information apparently is a little but outdated, but a quick search through newegg's cheapest power supplies shows things like this:

https://www.newegg.com/p/1HU-0027-00010?Item=9SIAXE5EGG6813&...

650 watt, no-name non-80+ power supply for $40. That's the sort of thing I'm talking about. There are 80+ rated power supplies in the same price range or 80+ from reputable companies for $10 more but it's still a thing worth looking for when you're a newish builder or if you have any concern for the overall efficiency of your computer.

After all, base 80+ rating still means that for every watt your PC actually gets to use you're converting .2 watts directly into heat. That's not a big deal for a workstation that may only draw 100 watts under load but if you have a beefy PC with 3090s and an overclocked 12 series i9 processor with a lot of fans, you could be burning 100 watts or more just to power the thing, so it would definitely be worth it to go for gold or platinum 80+ rating just to save the money in waste heat and in cooling that waste heat after the fact.
Any recommendations on good books that do include large scale space battles?
Lockout from features happens on medical hardware - I’ve seen it regularly on MRI scanners from Siemens, GE and Philips. Send them money and the feature gets unlocked.

Some options are less expensive, some more. The most expensive I’ve seen is US$50k for enabling a feature. They do it then you restart the system to enable it.

I know of a physicist who used to be able to unlock some things, but now there are much more elaborate security measure.
It has the ambition, agree that they haven't figured it out yet. I think that it just might be a hard problem to figure out. I have an iPhone, an iPad, and a MacBook. I really understand when I want to use the phone or the notebook computer. The iPad is sort of in the middle.

I have made attempts at doing all my work stuff on it, but failed every time. Simple things like taking a screenshot over here and pasting it over there just feel harder on the iPad. I really want them to figure it out though!
No, they can't. Florida state law specifically prohibits that: all county residents must pay the same tax rate. The only way that Disney can pay more taxes than county residents is by forming a...drumroll, please...independent special district.

The state of Florida is dissolving, unilaterally, and without taking any public comment from Disney, the county, the county residents, or the rest of the state, the very vehicle that would allow what you are talking about.

I've been running office hours sessions on Fridays for this. I've been running them for over a year now and they have been incredibly useful.

I have a Calendly which people can book a 20 minute conversation with me about my project.

I've had at least 60 high value conversations now, with people all over the world.

I don't promote them heavily at the moment so I sometimes get just 0-2 a week, but in the past I've had days with 3 or 4.

I wrote about this pattern here: https://simonwillison.net/2021/Feb/19/office-hours/
Actually considering the price of wheat from price of bread even 10% increase probably isn't too much. But that doesn't mean there hasn't be similar cost increases in other parts of the chain from commercial bakeries to store and transport.
Amazon gave everyone big base raises, pretty clear they knew the stock was going down. This company is going to fall on hard times, a lot of current employees have not been treated well
P/S is almost never a comparable metric when margins like Amazon retail can be like 5%. AMZN p/s is also 4x Walmart.
It’s amazing how many people I know avoid using Amazon because of how employees are treated, if it didn’t treat people so badly it would be much more popular. Maybe abusing workers is how it became so successful at the scale it is ?

Windows 7 was also the last one to natively support the "classic" theme [1], which IMHO was the peak of its UI design

The design is pretty low-key (and it randomly rearranges the different feeds segments every 10 minutes when it goes off to check for new entries ... which I like because it kinda forces me to see "everything" (unless I / search in Firefox, of course))
Yeah but that requires knowing control theory rather than “learning” it.

Control theory is better if you know what you’re doing. ML is technical debt for sure.

The pattern I have seen (which imo is not annoying) is that the welcome email comes from the 'CEO's address and you can reply or book a call.

Most people will delete it. But I don't find it dishonest because it's literally an offer to help and you can ask anything you like (I have always gotten replies as a consumer).

I'm assuming once this doesn't scale you can just do the same with support agents (no fake here, just put their names and emails) so the inbound is handled by different people with the same goal in mind.
Shameless plug: I use my own template, which organises things as runnable projects.

https://github.com/tpapastylianou/self-contained-runnable-py...

It serves my purposes very well (which is creating projects that represent standalone experiments).

Sharing in case someone else here finds it useful.

More recently I've modified this a bit to also generate nice html reports straight from the __main__.py file, independently of the underlying python code, and use this as lab books (where each lab book contains a single analysis and its report). I'll upload this template separately when I find the time.

This is a strange case of outrage culture fake news.

A story of where they used an industry standard practice to deal with a deadly contagious disease that cannot be eradicated once discovered in a flock, the story author did not prove what was claimed to be witnessed ("writhe, gasp, pant, stagger and even throw themselves against the walls of their confinement in a desperate attempt to escape") since they did not provide video, and the entire thing is written in a way to evoke an emotional reaction...

... wrapped around a completely buried story that corporate mismanagement will result in the loss of jobs for several hundred people during a pandemic and one of the worst economies our country has had in a while (all time high corporate earnings, all time high cost of living, all time high wage stagnation).

And I've noticed a lot of people bring up nitrogen poisoning as an option over CO2: birds aren't like us, and if this really is a superior method then all of you should convert your outrage into pushing Congress to regulate this industry further and outlaw CO2 suffocation as a way to eliminate a flock.
A random attempt:

Typically the application wants to draw stuff on the GPU. To do this it calls into the GPU driver, which builds a big memory buffer in some implementation-defined format that instructs the GPU what to do, and then the driver instructs the GPU to execute that.

However, applications these days want to do some of the work to determine which commands to do on the GPU (e.g. culling).

So the work here is to allow the application to create a memory buffer on the GPU with commands using a standardized format and then the driver has to convert that into the implementation-defined format on the GPU. This copies a lot of the complexity of the driver from the CPU to something running on the GPU.
> (I myself am not a fluent programmer — I have some experience of Haskell and Python and I think a pretty good feel for how to specify an algorithm in a way that makes it implementable by somebody who is a quick coder, and in my collaborations so far have relied on my collaborators to do the coding.)

Aw, this sets off the alarm bells for me. My immediate reaction is that this guy has no clue what he is getting into, apart from his "domain experience" (ie. top level mathematician). Run for the hills, I say.

I'm pretty sure no jurisdiction allows lawyers to share their billable hours with their support staff. You have to pay them either hourly or salary, not linked to how many hours you're billing. You can't give them a law firm stock package or say they get a 10% commission on all billed revenue or something. At best, some jurisdictions allow law firms to give an annual bonus if the firm does well.
So why aren't you advocating for the repeal of the 1843 other special districts in Florida, which also include Sea World, and Universal, as well as HOAs, and wide variety of other businesses?
Another possibility would be to create some system with an opportunity for an adversarial legal process. Allowing experts in the field to weigh in (providing prior art and/or professional opinions on patentability) might take some of the burden off the patent examiners themselves.
One has to assume that the ultimate direction is for some sort of convergence of iPad and MacBook. But no one at Apple has figured a good way to do that which isn't a fatal compromise. I use my iPad but it's a pretty optional device for me and I mostly use it when traveling. (I admittedly can't draw to save my life and I really want to get back on a computer pretty quickly when I'm doing things like searching.
My parents basically had the same rule, and I couldn't be more grateful. Helped me cultivate focus, dedication, and work ethic in a way that I never would have otherwise, given how easy school was.

Since you’re already using Word, why not use what it has? The Developer tab provides multiple input controls, and using those values should be fairly easy in the document. You can have a section at the top where they fill in the values (or pull downs, etc.), then reference those fields in the document. You might need a little VBA, but this should be pretty simple.

It sounds like you’re looking to use web tech because that’s what you know, maybe not right for the job though. Do you really want to ship a whole JS framework just for people to RTFM?
