We shouldn't let a fear of someone enjoying a benefit we feel they don't deserve get in the way of improving noise levels for others.

The high/low tax I propose isn't about preventing the worst offenders: it's about pulling the overall fleet noise levels down. The noise pollution we suffer from isn't exclusively from a few infernal racket makers -- other measures (like the articles cameras) are needed for nuisance cars.

Even if you're only concerned about the worst of the worst, lowering the average levels should make it easier to act against the worst of the worse through lower limits and harsher penalties because they'll be more separated from ordinary vehicles.
I love this. I have been fascinated by Trilobites since a kid: they are from hundreds of millions ago, like..500...but still look like common woodlice. Its not clear how they found the compound-eye-lightfield thing from this post, but I might be just impatient/reading over it. Would love to have some woodlice lenses in my cameraphone :P
Back of the envelope, the offered salary is roughly $5000-$10,000 less than the average revenue per employee.

I'm not familiar with thinking about salaries in these terms though, how is this relevant?
How is remote work a scam? Engineers don’t need a schmuck like you bothering them in person to do great work. Work from home gives everyone a private office, focus and quiet.

Teflon is definitely not biologically inert.

It leaches estrogen analogues (sometimes called xenoestrogens), and ~ 100% of people alive today have biologically active levels of those compounds in their blood.

In particular, Teflon brand nonstick coating contains PTFE and PFOAs. This has been settled science for at least 20 years.
Not as familiar with German assault guns, but it's worth noting that the American term "tank destroyer" was, like a tank as discussed in the article, a role-based term. The M18 Hellcat[0] was a tank destroyer, and looked much like a tank, but the M5 3-inch gun[1] was also a tank destroyer even though it was more similar to an artillery piece than a tank.

American tank destroyers, regardless of technical characteristics, were meant to wait for an enemy armored push, then respond to that, freeing up the actual tanks to go off and do their own thing. This was a result of prewar planning seeing that tanks might not be able to mount a good enough gun and have enough armor, but in the event it turned out that the M4's gun was good enough and enemy tank-only pushes didn't happen enough that the tanks couldn't respond to them, so the tank destroyer wound up as more of an assault gun.

If you're interested in reading more about American tank destroyers, Gabel, Christopher R. (September 1985), "Seek, strike, and destroy: U.S. Army tank destroyer doctrine in World War II"[2] is not terribly long and is well written

>That's right... move the goalposts

Technically the original discussion was about PTFE (ie. the stuff used on pans), not PFAS (which is what your sources reference since your first reply). If anything, you're the one who moved it my subtly moving the discussion to be about PFAS. I suppose it's "moving the goalposts" to bring the discussion back to PTFEs, so I do apologize if you think that me replying to your comments constitutes acceptance of moving the discussion to be about PFAS.

> Microdosing is the CBD of psychedelics.

Pfft. There is significant evident of CBD's efficacy as a powerful anti-convulsant, the fact that it does not get you high makes it an attractive option for the treatment of childhood epilepsy.

Perhaps it's a little premature to be so dismissive of those who are afraid of getting high.

Now that said, I have personally found that the long term impact of one very large dose (12 grams dried) of mushrooms far exceeds that of several single doses; I've gone from having several suicidal thoughts a day, down to being a regularly depressed dude - a hell of an improvement.

But I'm not going to dismiss the possibility that in less extreme circumstances, microdosing could be preferable to a night hanging out with spider demons at the end of time.
I suspect that's why the department of works, well, works. If they order a bridge, they almost invariably end up with a nice looking bridge that carries cars, doesn't fall down, and generally meets expectations. Ditto for a building, a road, an airport ... Its not just the department of works either, when their private counterparts order a rail line spanning 1000km to carry millions of tons of coal, they generally end up with a working rail system that does the job.

But order when IT naive organisation orders new IT system from a third party and you usually get a cluster fuck. And the tribal claims here it's because "gobermant bad" notwithstanding, it's universally true, meaning it happens just as often to private organisations as it does government ones.

It does make you scratch your head and wonder why IT is different.

Regardless of whether it's a bridge or a IT system, there will be a consultant's marketing team spinning a very attractive vision of smoothly delivered sunshine and unicorns to someone who needs sunshine and unicorns to get a lift up the org chart. The only hope an organisation has against that is someone the leadership trusts, someone who can say "That beautiful and convincing power point presentation is like someone promising to delivery nuclear powered cars - they either have no idea what it would take, or are outright lying. If you fall for it you won't get a promotion, they will get you fired". And the people who count believe them. (We had a high profile politician in Australia who was sold a vision of nuclear powered cars - https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=216653896514005.)

My favoured theory at the moment is IT is too new for software engineers to earned that level of trust. An engineer's career lasts 40 or 50 years. 40 or 50 years ago, Uni's were churning out civil engineers, mining engineers, every conceivable sort of engineer except - software engineers. And worse, right now, we need a _lot_ of them. Not every org wants to build a road, or a bridge, but it really is true software is eating the world, so every org's beyond a certain size wins really does need a custom IT system to support their magic operational sauce. As a consequence, we are seeing IT salaries going through the roof.

It's a great time to be a software engineer, not a great time to be needing one.
Derp, you are correct. I read backwards.
Yeah, I could probably get +50% if I went job hopping, but the non salary benefits are very good, work is not stressful-- 40 hours, rarely the expectations of more than that, though it does happen maybe one a month. Very good PTO, 5 minute commute... So it's all an extremely good work life balance, which has always been the most of mportant factor for me if the money is otherwise sufficient to cover things.
Honestly "average speed" tickets are a great idea, and I'm not sure why you speak as if it's bad. These "bunches of stuff" aren't watching you "all the time," they're watching you when you are on a public road, paid for by other taxpayers.

If anyone's upset that the government is enforcing traffic rules, they're free to build or rent a private circuit and drive there in whatever way they please. Capitalism for the win.
I use Sumatra frequently, and while it's great at what it does, there's a lot it doesn't do. It's strictly a viewer only, so it doesn't even have rudimentary annotations like highlights or underlines. As an epub/mobi reader it's even more lacking. It won't allow you to search for or copy words, despite being able to do so with pdfs. Also, there are some azw3 that are effectively mobi, but Sumatra won't load them unless you rename them with the mobi extension.
When you say hologram, are you referring to something like a holographic sticker, or a star trek hologram?
That would seem like the wrong tool for the job. I always say you pick your application, then the best operating system for it, then the best hardware for that, and I don't see any way to start from no Google account and end at ChromeOS.

I work for a large semiconductor company and during the pandemic the test engineers in the lab and IT staff were the only ones allowed into the office for the first year.

Motorcycles 'pollute' (particulates and other very harmful products) more than cars, but 'emit' less (carbon dioxide and other exhaust products).
That’s been well supported for years. It’s also possible to set a security policy so only signed gems are allowed. But signatures are worthless without a way to safely trust them and that is a more difficult problem since it’s not purely technical.

Vendoring all gems, manually verifying diffs on upgrade, and manually verifying signatures where possible is still the best practice here.
That is a super cool concept, thanks for mentioning!

Our top of the line dishwasher doesn't reliably remove burnt on stuff from stainless steel, so I end up scraping it before putting it in the dishwasher. Cast iron would be done at that point, but stainless needs a degreasing step after that.

Cast iron is best if it's the workhorse. Not using it regularly degrades the seasoning.

I think it’s the loneliness then. The other thread about why we waste our time on the Internet had that as the top comment.

So you see loneliness makes us waste this part of our time probably in an futile attempt to deal with loneliness, forge a connection, having some kind of reassurance that we have a voice and maybe we matter even though we so don’t.

So this comment isn’t waste of OP’s time if OP likes to do this or wants to do this and gets gratification from it (even if doesn’t last beyond hitting the submit button). OP even mentioned that coffee thing in the similar vein.

In case you forgot, numerous states forbid people from even going outside their home, and from perusing numerous services if they weren't vaccinated. This was restricting people's bodily autonomy under duress, to theoretically reduce the spread of a virus with a 99.5% infection survival rate. On the basis of prevailing legal norms, an entirely secular argument could absolutely be made for not allowing the eviction of a person from their mother's womb, to their death.

We put mothers and mostly fathers in prison for not providing child support. The latter never even had an option to abort their parental responsibilities the way mothers did during pregnancy. The idea that a non-religious argument against abortion can't exist in light of this is absurd.

>>Like I said - there are no logically valid arguments for abortion ban, other than strictly religious.

Like I said, believing abortion should be prohibited can be an entirely secular belief, your dogmatic denial notwithstanding.

That's true. I don't think it would matter much, other than it being easier to make superhuman micro-capable bots in RTS or aim-bots in FPS games. For the former, a limit on actions per minute might work.

On the other hand, once such bots exist it might just mean the game needs to evolve.

> wondered what it would be like to adapt and get used to the inverted view

FWIW, I tried this as a student, and in a couple of hours was biking campus paths. Decades ago, but my very fuzzy recollection is the key adaptation was sort of ignoring the oddity and going with familiar behaviors. So reaching to grab an object would "just work", unless I "thought about it" - then the hand would feedback the wrong way, followed by a "stop thinking!" and recovery after the bobble, or by a freeze and trying again. IIRC, it had a similar feel to doing things while viewing myself in a mirror. Meh - I set it aside after a day or so. But YMMV - different brains deal with the world very differently. I can run on spatial/kinesthetic with only spotchecks from vision, so perhaps this was merely tweaking that role. Might be interesting to try learning an unfamiliar physical task while inverted, and watch transfer in the other direction.
Latency is far worse with AJAX. Also, browsers nowadays are much more powerful, both in rendering capabilities and Javascript engines. Servers have become a lot cheaper, too, which makes hosting this for free far more viable. Lastly, while a lot of stuff added to JS was just syntactic sugar, the whole ecosystem and tooling improved massively, which makes developing something like this a lot easier.

I'm not saying this was impossible 15 years ago (in fact, Flash-based MMOs existed back then), but it would've taken a lot more effort.

> *A taco…with a whole frankfurter inside is, apparently, a “taco de salchicha”.

This brings back a bittersweet memory.

A couple of months ago I was looking through the fridge to fix something for dinner. I had neglected my shopping for a few days, but I did find some hot dogs, whole wheat tortillas, fresh sauerkraut, and crunchy whole grain Dijon mustard.

So we made hot dog tacos!

I pan-fried the hotdogs in a bit of olive oil, and warmed the tortillas one at a time in a dry pan. As each tortilla was ready, we spread the mustard on it, added a hot dog and plenty of sauerkraut, and rolled it up.

Maybe not authentic tacos de salchicha, but they were good!

Why is the memory bittersweet?

In a connection almost worthy of James Burke, we made the hot dog tacos on February 24, the day the Russian tanks started rolling into Ukraine.
You've probably heard of this: atomic habits.

The idea of an atomic habit is that there is no disconnect between a habit and the objective you're aiming for. So in this case, the habit was not to learn a new language, but just consistently and constantly engaging with French. When I hit a wall, I doubled down my atomic habit to a simpler macro-french where all my past knowledge would still be applicable due to the etymology heavily influenced from french colonization.

I have no suggestion for artists, because the point is to pickup phonetics under variation. If you listen to the same artist, you're only picking up their way of speaking.

i.e. I'm guilty of playing dubmatique and maitre-gims on loop. Did nothing for improving my ability to parse a spoken french sentence in real-time. I just ended up memorizing the lyrics.

I suggest listening to pop music on shuffle, even if it's not your cup of tea. Pop music is usually very good with enunciating words. Additionally in my experience, pop music lyrics align really well with a language's IDF.

Verification against what public key?

Surely not one stored in rubygems.org, since an attacker who compromises an account could just upload a new key and sign a malicious release with that.

Besides, if rubygems can write a bug that allows someone to publish to a package namespace they don’t own, it’s perfectly realistic that they could also write a bug allowing an attacker to upload a key to an account they don’t own.

> but the company's interests are almost completely opposed to yours in most ways.

This really isn’t true. What you’re describing isn’t even a zero sum game it’s negative sum, where hurting the other party is among your goals in itself. The company is interested in using you to make money and for many purposes happy, satisfied employees who are growing in productivity are good. All of those are also things the employees usually want.

Are employee and company interests fully aligned? Absolutely not, but if your employer’s interests are almost completely opposed to yours get out.
People don't seem to be aware of this, but most of the dulling of disposable razors are due to it staying wet.
If you dry your disposable razor after use, shaking out the water then drying it on a towel, it can last much much longer. Going down to shaving 2-3 times a week due to WFH, I think I made one disposable razor last about a year. If this pattern keeps up, this pack of razors I bought from Costco is going to last until I retire.

According to a family friend who worked for the UAW (the huge American auto workers union) the answer to this is yes. I suspect the answer is actually "it depends", but I don't know of any documented examples of unions whose members are allowed to make a separate peace. There are people in the comments who it sounds like have done so, perhaps they can weigh in on the mechanism.
