> Their good government policy would be doing nothing, which wouldn't help poor families get formula either.

Sure it would. If baby formula were unregulated the price would be lower - this is obvious on its face. It would also (probably) be riskier, and the trade-off might not be worth it, but it would be cheaper.

We systematically underestimate how much poverty is worsened by regulation that increase the prices and/or reduces the availability of goods. The left has finally gotten religion here on housing ("YIMBY" just means "deregulate construction in order to drive down prices") so maybe there's hope.
Netflix was always a nothing burger when it came to BigTech. It was the 50th most valuable company before the stock crash. It’s an accident of history (and CNBC) that it was ever included as a FANG stop. Notice the missing “A”? Cramer didn’t include Apple even though Apple was already the most valuable company by then or Microsoft that had been in the top 5 since 2000.

Fortunately for employees of Netflix, all of their compensation is cash.

YouTube's recommendation must be device dependent or something, because I only use it through AppleTV or as a Playstation App and the entire page is like 15 or 20 videos repeated over and over, like sometimes it will suggest the same video in two different places on the screen.

Why Wet Feels Wet: Understanding the Illusion of Wetness
We try to act like the algorithms are these flawless implementations of intelligence, but they're often not.

Most social apps right now are run like bad casinos, where people get exploited often for money and time... They prey on users in stealth from many angles, and now they even hand select who wins and who doesn't.

Ask yourself why these companies need so many employees (psychology experts, PR teams, Lobbyists, Lawyers, Moderators, Product Owners, Developers, Financial Experts, etc) if the algorithm is the key factor at play...

The algos are made with non transparent bias that we simply can't see, and that bias and disposition can be changed at any time to cover it's tracks... Bias which is often toxic and geared towards company profit over doing what's right. We only understand how damaging that bias is when it becomes a trend of kids destroying school bathrooms or when we find out people who projected an image of fame and wealth were actually completely faking the persona and unfortunately harming themselves as a result.

I often rant about social media because it's really a system of rewards for bad behavior where only the platform ends up profiting most... It can also destroy respect and disregard cultures and encourage danger and self harm for others.

The reason why most are complacent is because everyone is having a different experience on it... If you're suicidal, the algorithm floods you with dark content that makes you into a profitable news worthy story. If you're an "influencer", the algorithm floods you with tips to keep you working hard within the platform and encourages you to buy "essential" gear to boost your career (that pays VERY LITTLE in comparison to the time and money you spend on the influencer pursuit).

In my opinion as a developer, most of the major app (TikTok, Instagram, FB, etc...) social algos are not designed any more with the intent of making sure you're entertained online, and they're bent on maximizing engagement and ad revenue for these companies at any cost...

Understanding that first is the way to stay sane when using any of these apps/sites. Other than that I do enjoy doom scrolling through memes when I'm bored, it's kind of like a video game you don't have to really invest much into.

> I live in South America, taxes are 10% and there’s no shortage of formula.

There doesn't seem to be a shortage in Europe either, where taxes are much higher and with your argument, the government may be even more effective.

It's an argument I seem to hear often: government is simultaneously all powerful and completely ineffective.

But I'll stay open and curious: what did the US government do to primarily or fully cause a shortage of infant formula?

Not intending to be dismissive, but what’s the use case of KDE Connect for iOS (and indirectly Apple users)?

On one hand, as an iOS user and also owning iPads and MacBooks, I already get all the notifications across all my devices.

I do also use Ubuntu (rarely) hooked up to my tv as a “cheap” media player.

Reading the KDE Connect descriptions, they all describe ways user can connect this and that and get notifications… but still a bit unclear of the value prop.

Could I now, install KDE Connect, and control my MATE/Gnome desktop, w/o converting it all to KDE? (Yeah, I know I can install packages and pick the desktop env… just asking what’s the value prop of and tell me a story of what I can do with this that I couldn’t before)

I have no idea what you're talking about. I'm not convinced you know what you're talking about either.

Tesla is already CCS in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, etc. The European Tesla charging stations are already opening to all brands of EV.

The US is behind but eventually it will catch up. It's just a function of the US EV market being one third the size of the European EV market. Money will go to the bigger markets first and then the smaller markets will follow.

All brands being on the same charging standard is a good thing. You can fuel any brand of ICE vehicle at any brand of fueling station and you should be able to charge any brand of EV at any brand of charging station. Anything less than that just makes EVs worse.

Don't agonize over it. Embrace it.

> Are you saying it’s being exaggerated and people are lying?

Not at all. What I'm saying is that those issues are due to a general discrimination of women in the workplace, which, yes, we should work towards fixing. They are the same issues we hear about in other industries as well.

But not that the gender disparity is necessarily due to that, nor that we should try to "represent" women in gaming more to fix it. As I'm sure you're aware, there are many strong women leaders in game development (Roberta Williams, Amy Hennig, more here[1]), most of whom we probably haven't heard of, indie developers, etc. And there's a healthy representation of women in game streaming with a very large following.

Video games is an art form that can be enjoyed or created by anyone, regardless of gender or any other distinction. Nearly half of gamers are now women, and they seem to be enjoying the broad range of content that exists, whether or not it's specifically targeted at them. It's never been easier to start creating games as an indie developer, which is a good thing given how toxic the game dev industry is as a whole, for all creative people.

I don't think you have argued very well, here. Just minimally addressed some points, ignored others.

>> Race and orientation is an immutable characteristic of the person.

> That is no more true that it is of gender identity.

Not an argument. Clever rejoinders will not convince people that mentally ill men should be in women's prisons or sports teams. You will have to actually engage with the concerns that people have. How do you deal with self-identification and predatory men going into women's locker rooms? Just denying that it could ever happen is not going to work.

>> As yet, gender dysmorphia is recognized as a mental illness

> So was homosexuality

Not an argument. Declassifying homosexuality as a mental illness does not mean gender dysphoria is not.

As for the rest, we literally do call that behavior mental illness.

I'm fine with people doing whatever they want with their own bodies as long as their behavior doesn't impact other people.

Taking female hormones, great. Taking female hormones and then insisting that everyone else perceive them as women is not.
Maybe they are after more diverse answers than could be provided by their own employees. Meaning they don't hire diverse enough.
Interesting anecdote. I'm looking for some land right now and my real estate agent is 23. He was telling me that amongst his friend he is mocked for having a job whereas the goals of every single one of his friends is to collect as much benefits and stimmies as possible and vote for politicians who are going to keep it coming, he specifically mentioned Yang.

I feel that. I love the outdoors and Canada has plenty.

On the other hand, we're having a kid, and as much as I'd like them to grow up in the outdoors I'd also rather them be exposed to culture versus a bunch of hippies and redneck meth addicts... So we're making the move to Europe (back in the case of my SO).

Human milk contains varying amounts relative to the producer's diet and exposure. It seems that the mean is in line with the formula's on Healthy Babies Bright Future's report on page 23. The upper range is concerning, especially considering that those impacted are already most likely to be in an environment with high heavy metal exposure.

> The World Health Organization
(WHO) has indicated that the mean and range of
these toxic metals detected in breast milk around
the world are: Pb (Lead) 5.0 ppb (0.0-41.1 ppb), Hg (Mercury) 2.7
ppb (0.64-257.1 ppb), and Cd (Cadmium) 0.1 ppb (0.1-3.8 ppb) [2]

My pediatrician minimized my concerns about heavy metal exposure through food until after the Congressional oversight hearing and encouraged me to avoid use of rice cereal. The information was out there, but she was following AAP recommendations on diet.

I was really grateful for the publication by Healthy Babies Bright Futures. In the beginning, I was buying organic and newer brands, but realized Gerber generally had lower heavy metal concentrations in their samples when compared to competitors.

I find the comments here a bit sad: some say it's "pointless stuff" and Microsoft should now stop working on WT as it's "good enough", others say "8, maybe 16 distinct colors" are all that's needed.

I just can't agree with that: I want 24 bit colors in my terminal, I want images, I want alpha blending, I want fonts with advanced attributes...

Fortunately, there are a few other people like me. We treasure Windows Terminal (and Foot on Wayland) as in 2022 it is one of the rare terminals that is still evolving and adding features.

Pull requests like this one (#11623) and the work that went behind it (exploring the LUT caching issues) are extremely encouraging: they demonstrate there is still a lot of progress possible, with many low hanging fruits!

Personally, I'm eagerly waiting for Sixel support in WT, until then I suggest https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux to derasterize sixels and show them even in terminals that don't support sixels.

Capital costs. People by and large are loathe to spend hugely upon invisible home improvements.

One way to address this is to exclude from Texas property taxes the entire square footage of the insulating envelope of any building with 4"+ insulated envelope thickness, and locally recycle polystyrene into Styrofoam insulating blocks sold back to the public at cost to keep them out of the landfills. My personal preference is foamed glass made with a blowing agent that is cradle-to-grave net neutral on CO2 release and acidification, but that hasn't been invented yet so I'm still researching a way to manufacture foamed glass that can capture and entrain 100% of the released CO2 in the production line.

Offer further property tax incentives for blower door-confirmed tests of airtightness, in a graduated scale for more property tax discount for more airtightness, calibrated against state-projected tax giveaways to energy companies so every X00,000 homes that get the discount is covered by avoided tax giveaways in the same amount as the discount gave away. The savings come from the property tax giveaway is one that returns dividends for ~30 years, whereas most corporate tax giveaways are ~10-15 years.

Passive house to Net Zero is possible with a 15-20% increase in cost (or equivalent reduction in scope), with a concomitant 70-95% reduction in energy costs. But there are no incentives to construct that way. If property taxes were structured so such houses get increasingly more tax discounts the more years they sit (back-loaded discount) and return energy dividends and keep passing efficiency tests every 3 years such that over a 30-year span the house reaches net 80% property tax savings, with a phase out and grandfathering as the number of Texas residential properties under the program reach 50%, it would drastically alter the demand for such houses.

Just a theory. May be you are hungry because the bigger you get the more food is needed to maintain the energy levels at current weight? If you tend to over eat even 50% of the times, you are now getting bigger, and more hungry(to maintain the increasing weight) in a never ending loop?

I don't have a solution for this. But it does look like to reverse this you will have to do the exact opposite. Like under eat a little and exercise enough to burn calories, and go into this loop?

Given that most Java using companies tend to go LTS version to LTS version, it's not like Java 13.141.59 is going to see massive uptake.

And the movement from Java 8 to Java 11 was slowed by bytecode changes and the advent of modules, which declared which of their internals you could dick with. Sure, you could add --add-opens to your commands, but it felt (as intended), hacky as all hell.

For an example, I've submitted PRs to Apache Kafka as part of the effort to replace Powermock with Mockito. Why? Because a) Powermock doesn't play nice with with JUnit 5 and b) Because it breaks totally on Java 16+, due to Java modules being enforced by default as of that version.

But for companies that are happy to keep up with the faster release schedule, there's been access to new and useful features at every new Java version, and it means that early adopters can provide feedback on new features like record classes etc. before they're crystallised in an LTS version.

And given the history of Java improvements between Java 6 and Java 8, the current release cycle is positively blistering in comparison.
This is extremely cool, and it would also be interesting to work out the grammar formalism implied by this description (tile end shapes and sorts, “bidelimited” constructs). It’s likely more restrictive than just a context-free grammar (a mixfix precedence parser?), but that’s not necessarily a problem.

Free labor is all that is being pedaled in most of these projects... It really worries me about our future as a planet.

It's crazy how many people jump on doing surveys for free , and even in creating content for social platforms daily for free, because it's promoted by billion dollar profit companies that could easily hire and pay people while still making good profit.

The free labor economy is insanely out of control now, and accurate truths about the exploitation and data mining never will be discussed because these companies can easily suppress and downvote them. I don't do any surveys, haven't since before the Cambridge Analytica story.
