Hello, Robyn
Why it's harder to earn more than your parents [video]
> for being (1) toxic and (2) accumulating in the environment to a harmful degree

I'm sure the actual standard surely takes accumulation levels into account otherwise it wouldn't make any sense at all, as you say. Unlike in the US, EU laws aren't usually written by idiots.
That's what you get for not listening to Keynes and Silvio Gesell. Instead of introducing a negative interest rate on cash to prevent people from accumulating capital in a low growth environment we are forced to play the endless debt game to artificially increase the return on capital to satisfy liquidity preference.

If people stop borrowing, the interest rate on existing financial capital would fall way below 0% but since cash has a 0% interest rate, it's the working population that get screwed over during deflation through involuntary unemployment (also known as a economic depression).

Eternal money is a farce, it is inherently unstable and can't exist over the long term which is why it constantly collapses and all you can do is delay the collapse as if the economy was a roguelite where you are supposed to get as much progress inbetween runs.

Demurrage currencies allow the economy to represent negative interest rates and therefore eliminate the need for endless borrowing and inflation while simultaneously achieving full employment as predicted by Say's Law, decentralization of jobs, reducing wealth inequality and rewarding long term thinking.
A GPS receiver can be had for like $15 these days. That will give you time and position, and require less maintenance than an RTC.

Of course, a $15 receiver might not have the best sensitivity, so reception might actually be a practical concern. On the other hand, you only need 4 satellites for a coarse fix, and you could seemingly tolerate a many minute cold fix time.
Hopefully this will turn out to be a good thing. Maybe having some time to work on the project full time is exactly what's needed to push it forward.

Still a bit uncomfortable how sketchy it feels in the longer term. But whatever. All I can do about it is do a good job.

No, that comment does not apply here at all. The saying is "Correlation does not imply Causation". This saying is correct, you can have correlation for lots of reasons without a causal relationship.

However, causation does imply correlation. You cannot have causation without correlation. The contra-positive of this is no-correlation implies no-causation.

This study shows a lack of correlation in the data that they have, which does, within the limitations of that data, imply a lack of causation. There could be confounding factors here, but it isn't completely irrational to think that wearing a cotton mask that only filters out about 10% of the particles in question (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7185834/) might not be very effective at preventing transmission. If not, it is important that governments start stockpiling effective masks to prepare for future virus outbreaks.

very common fallacy: absolute vs relative risk. kids have a miniscule risk of dying from covid (0.01%?) therefore reducing this already very very small risk isn't doing much at all. Of course kids do not require an experimental vaccine for a not at all very lethal viral infection.

It wasn't a critique of the argument. I was just a bit uncertain which number were correct. 2.1g or 15g is still pretty tiny in comparison to the mount of water that it is diluted with. I was/am tempted to calculate what the probability of a single atom would be in a glass of water.
I think the biggest problem is putting _all_ masks in the same bucket. The selection criteria is too wide.

I have used 'duck beak' ffp3 masks through several flights during peak pandemic, and I had to physically workout my chest muscles to take a full breath of air in. I have also bought disposable masks online that were paper mache level.

Both cases are 'people wearing masks' but I can guarantee that these two masks are not having the same effect.

We can argue logistics and feasibility of everyone using ffp3 masks, but claiming that masks don't have clear evidence is to ignore the whole physics of filtration.

As the first-born son of a psychiatrist, I feel inclined to add the data point that I do not recognize this in myself. I have a fairly neurotic personality, though, maybe that's the word you are looking for? Then again I don't think my father's profession has had a significant impact on my personality.

Maybe it has more to do with a type of personality that professions like psychiatry attract? It's hardly disputed that your parents' personalities tend to rub off on you.

But there is a lesson. That the other person may or may not like you depending on how you behave and may or may not be willing to extend courtesy based on that. Some things in your life are your rights, but some things you only get when you actively try to make people around you happy.

Obviously parents are taking care of your basic needs and it is hard for them to switch between parent, teacher and friend at the right moments, but they are never just one thing.

As far as I remember Dacia has been the most sold brand for a bunch of years in Spain. And the second hand market is more active than new cars.

For the 2nd tier income countries like Spain there's definitely demand for cheaper cars. It's a constant complain in spanish forums how prices are ballooning.

I guess this is different in more wealthy countries.

From the Pragmatic Programmer (coined/popularized the term DRY):

"Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system"

To contrast: Data especially can be very repetitive, say you have a bunch of configurations of somewhat similar things, or you have records that represent purchases at a given time of a thing by someone, they will tend to look very similar, maybe even almost the same

DRY is not about reducing this kind of repetition, because this is just like it should be. Sure, you might want to generate/automate repetitive things or compress them into something more readable and so on, but that's not what DRY is about.

Ultimately it is a form of normalization and decoupling. Ideally you want your code to be in a state so when you change things there is as little coordination required as possible.
I think people wearing masks for privacy are a very small minority. This is the first time I heard that. People I know just feel uneasy not to wear them, especially indoors, either thinking it will protect them or feel that it's the right thing to do given the still very high infection rates. Some also have to wear them in public transport and just keep them on because it's easier.
Inventories are rising. I'm an assembly line worker and our warehouses are getting stuffed. People are being sent home because we got too much product already. We make dryers. I can assume that the working class would put off buying dryers because more money has to go into rent and food. Nearly a fifth of my income goes to food now and about a quarter will go to rent.

So if you want a liter, you have to supply 20 watts. For how long? Forever? Does the water instantly become turbid when power is removed?

>I don’t think any of the writers or outlets publishing these headlines are out to mislead. But none of them seem to have consulted anyone actually trying to sell CDs, either

Nobody even bothered to read the original source report, much less make sense of it, or even gave the article they wrote a minute's thought. They saw the story somewhere else (perhaps got it from a wire service too), and rewrote it just enough to appear as an original article.

They could not care less about the content of the article, or what they were reporting. It's just another thing to post within a day to make the meagre salary they're paid, or to boost one's BS blog.

It looks cool, when I was young and Linux was just few years around it was very limited and people considered it a toy, but it being limited in supporting stuff was the reason I loved it, as it would force me to go around and explore and experiment, and I guess it developed my passion for informatics. Now Linux is a bit of low maintenance system. But I hope your system may become the reason why kids of today explore and read and experiment and which light their passion for this world in them. Good luck! I say it because every now and then I think about my history and am afraid that kids of today between all the ready to use and black boxes stuff have little to experiment

> All the ceremony of carefully taking a record out of its sleeve, checking for dust, putting it on the record player etc. is too much hassle for me.

This is what I like about it really. It's quite a deliberate focussed thing. For most of my music listening when I just want noise in the background I stream it because it doesn't matter. But sometimes when you just want to sit down and enjoy something special, the ceremony seems to add something.
For practical purposes the legality of ripping ones one own legally acquired cds is meaningless because it is impossible that one should face enforcement regardless of legality. A good argument could be had that in the US it is fair use however its hard to establish the legality given that in nearly 40 years in the US nobody has ever insofar as I'm able to discern ever had action taken against them solely for copying CDs to a computer or device for personal use.

DVDs are more complicated as tools to remove DRM are illegal under the DMCA.

There are 100 different jurisdictions and while the law is different the practical situation is the same. Who is exactly going to police you copying your own cds in your own home? How is bob from bob's records to discover you have copied it? One should have to convince congress to require Operating systems to rat you out to bob then convince users to use such systems.
Thanks for writing this! I just reproduced your experiment and could get the ~10x performance gain (0.42/0.02) on my mac m1 (I had to uninstall typing - which hopefully gets fixed soon). I think this is a great way of attacking both type checking, as well as a meaningful speedup in the CI cycle.
Absolutely. The Perl library of the early 2000s stands head and shoulders above anything I've read since in programming. O'Reiily blazed a trail with their Perl library because Perl seemed to attract the brightest minds and the best writers. I think Larry Wall's background in linguistics played a part. I have a more or less complete set of Perl books from the early 2000s which I frequently dip into for inspiration. "Perl Best Practices" by The Damian is a particular favourite. "Programming Perl" and "Mastering Regular Expressions" are timeless masterpieces.

If you’ve ever lived next to an active Airbnb I don’t think you’d ask this question. The issues with an endless stream of short term guests are like in your face obvious.

You’re getting people who are in a leisure situation basically 100% of the time. Your normal neighbors aren’t like this.

Even just the transitions are disruptive. Picture a European couple unable to figure out how to open the door with 4 suitcases completely blocking the entrance to your building and making it impossible to go in and out every single time you come home, for one highly specific example plucked from the real world.
I've been writing some python the last few days. Today I did something terrible. I like to believe it was out of wisdom rather than ignorance. I needed to do some nuanced bit manipulations, and so I built up a string of ascii 0's and 1's, sliced the string, and then converted back to integers.

I worked on a codebase many years ago when I was an intern. That code would read frames off a CAN bus in a car. For some reason, it could only handle about 100 frames per second before running out of CPU. It turned out someone had done the same; they turned every 8 byte CAN payload into a string of 64 characters, sliced the relevant fields out, and then converted back to integers. There were about 2000 frames per second coming in, and it was just way too inefficient.

In my usage, it will maybe never happen, outside of a unit test I wrote for it. I am really tempted to rewrite it tomorrow to use but shifts...

Okay, to me kind means the definition "having or showing a friendly, generous, and considerate nature."

I'm not familiar with what you're describing, but I saw another reply with a twitter thread explaining something similar to what you're proposing, so perhaps I'm just out of the loop.
I'm not a fan of the ponzi accusation against speculation. There are always other factors to subjective valuation which are perhaps deliberately ignored by detractors. This is contentious here for whatever reason. Even the idea of subjective value, different strokes for different folks, live and let live and "if you don't like it, don't buy it" seems controversial at times.

For the sake of discussion, even if we assume that cryptocurrency is purely a speculative endeavor with no other utility - cryptocurrency is still not a ponzi. A ponzi scheme has a specific definition. It is a form of fraud. The promoter deliberately misrepresents the source of income. Typically he will attribute the gains he pays to his marks to a market based investment scheme.

If we take the alternate view, that anything where the asset must be sold to recoup a return, and thus that new entrants must pay the existing holders before they exit, which markets are not ponzis? Is the used car market now a ponzi according to this definition? You cannot sell your used car until someone else buys it! Collectibles like coins, stamps or 'trading' cards?

Words matter. Defining our terms is important to understanding what we are talking about.

Well... a moderate amount of tourism is fine, even beneficial; but excessive tourism in any given location becomes a blight. Airbnb has contributed to that, by facilitating short-term profits for "hosts" and the company and ignoring the negative impact.

I don't believe attractiveness defines a persons value, I just know it changes how people behave around you, so you will probably see results if you can put some effort into being fit and put together. As you said, not everyone gets to be 'handsome' or 'pretty', but you can get a head way above the pack with fitness alone.

I've always had a hard time articulating my advice on this matter, because it's easy to be shallow, and it's insensitive because not everyone can act on it. But for those who can, it's more about being pragmatic.
Right. It seems to be a way for unkind people to explain they are actually kind, and that's more important.

I'm deeply confused, but it's not worth arguing about.
Maybe, maybe not. First, efficacy below 50%, even at 10%, can be argued to be worthwhile from both an epidemiological point of view and from the purpose of individual protection. Second, I'm not convinced that your conclusion follows from the premise. I don't see why this must be so and you haven't given a reason.

Confounding factors in other comments here are used as an argument against using the findings as evidence for mask efficacy. Note that if those arguments have any merit at all, they are also valid against your conclusion.

It's really hard to prove some things scientifically. But that doesn't imply the effects are small, just that to move from correlation to causality is not easy at all.

Yes, on a small GA going to +24 degrees on a go around really jumped out as high, especially if you were starting low and very slow (on landing not uncommon). But I have zero big twin knowledge.

I wish they'd included a speed plot to go with the pitch plot. The plot does show what looks like full power. Given flight duration fuel would have been way down so plane would have been (relatively) lightish most likely.
It depends. If the CD has DRM, bypassing that DRM for a personal copy is a crime. If there's no DRM, I believe creating a personal copy is acceptable.
