> In a well-functioning market, any temporary shortage caused by the removal of one company's product from the market would be addressed relatively quickly.

Is that actually the case in real life? In a well functioning market I'd expect producers to have just enough capacity above average demand to cover the normal random fluctuations in their market.

I wouldn't expect them to have enough excess capacity to quickly make up the temporary loss of a major producer. Also, what about logistics? Say some particular plant starts producing say 50% more...are they going to be able to quickly find shipping capacity to deliver that?
The problem with this is we just don't know how likely abiogenesis actually is. We can make vague guesses based on very general things like the abundance of certain elements.

At the end of the day though, we just don't know how many factors were necessary for the formation of life on earth(or indeed whether it formed on Earth in the first place). There could be any series of unlikely characteristics about our solar system and the Earth that were all necessary for life. One example is the Earth's unusually large moon, likely caused by the Earth colliding with another planet during the formation of the solar system. Another is the seemingly unusual variety in types and sizes of planets within the solar system(see the Grand Tack Hypothesis), and the effect of Jupiter shielding the Earth from massive meteor bombardment. Sure, maybe it's highly unlikely that life exists only on Earth. But even so, the question of just how common it is is very interesting.

As for tardigrades, note that they've been shown to be able to survive 10 days in space. That's a far cry from being able to survive an interstellar journey, land on a planet, survive and multiply as the only species on said planet, etc. Extrapolating all this from surviving space for 10 days in an experiment is a pretty big leap.

And indeed, I've never heard a scientist dismiss the importance of discovering extrasolar life as "not much of a concern" I find this view utterly absurd.
I just watched the Australian performance. My first thought that was that they sent him to Europe to get rid of him.
Try fasting. I would get hungry 1-2 days in but then it subsides (don't overdo it... I think I did 3-4 days max).

> Can you provide where the FDA has said European formulas are perfectly adequate?

I didn't claim that the FDA said that. All I said was that the FDA's stated reason for prohibiting European formulas in the US has nothing to do with safety standards, only with labeling. The FDA, as far as I know, has not made any statement one way or the other about the safety standards themselves, but as the article notes, the European ones in this respect are at least as stringent as the FDA's.
I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two years ago. I switched to a super low carb diet (30g per day). Contrast that with a 16oz Mt Dew, which has 77g. Or a bowl of cereal at 36g plus whatever is in the milk.

I ate all kinds of protiens and fats - cheese, meats, fish, veggies just to quell the hunger. I lost about 58 pounds in a year. Most of what I lost was fat. Two years later, I'm still doing a very low carb, but keep it under 50g per day. My weight has stayed ±3 pounds. I'm pretty convinced it's the super-high carb load everyone is eating three times per day.
Was that supposed to justify it?

It is not.

It basically does the opposite of what every scalable system does.

To get HA you double you’re number of pollers.

To get scale your queries you aggregate them into other prometheii.

If this is scalability: everything is scalable.
Fair, but you are over-exaggerating.

Here is what it looks like.
- I started working in 2012.

- I didn't come here married

- I married another Turkish woman a few years later, she couldn't work until she were able to get EAD which was probably around 2015/6. H1B spouses couldn't work at the time.

- We got audited for our greencard, and there were frictions in the process for whatever reason. It was no where near as bad as it is for an Indian - we were still able to complete it in about 2 years.

- During greencard process, she got EAD, it took a bit of time as a foreigner educated/non-engineer person find a FTE job. This meant she was on a contract job to build her US resume, and she had to renew every 6 months or so. It is fairly stressful for a person at the beginning of her career in a foreign country and you have to provide support. It also didn't allow us a backup healthcare in case I was out of work.

- I didn't get to 6 in 1-2 years, it took 4, and that was on the faster side at google. It could have been faster at FB, but that's not the point.

All of these are progression in life, nothing is given to you. You can't assume the worst case, because in the worst case everyone is dead tomorrow.

I took a bet to come to US(after a US school, on H1B). I didn't think of what'd have happened if i lost my job, i don't really stress over one of us losing job anymore. If it happens, we deal with it. We always have.

Risk and consequences of losing everything early on is much lower. You don't have expenses, you don't have dependents. You take a bet, and you start building a life. This is why I suggest everyone to do it as soon as possible if they want to leave their home countries.

You start reducing your risk in some things (by getting married) while you increase risk in some others (like getting a bad divorce etc), you add more financial stress if you have a kid, but you have other joys you add through it and so on.

This is not a me story, this is a story that's replicable for most people in FAANG jobs...

Most states are doing the exact opposite and trying to roll back rooftop solar by eliminating net metering, meaning you get effectively no return on any power you generate above your own consumption, which completely nukes the economics for most people. There are fairly large fixed installation costs and if you’re going to do it you’d want to cover 120% of your needs so that you are always positive, and sell a little back - but they make sure that can’t happen, so everyone has to undersize their installations which makes the economics even more unfavorable.

They say “they have to maintain the generating and transmission capacity anyway” but there is a mismatch here - they are happy to charge another customer full-price for it, despite the fact that customer will be local and thus they don’t need the transmission capacity during peak when solar is putting out it’s max and everyone is blasting the AC. Also actually they are usually charging the other customer a premium for “green energy”.

Entrenched monopolist uses market and state power to keep competitors out, even if it means reduced quality of service.

Even if, at a federal level, you straight up gave the things away, places like Texas would outright ban them or require contractual terms that made them effectively impossible to install, like different billing rates (large charges for any returned capacity, rather than credit) or just forbidding them in any home that is publicly interconnected (which is usually a requirement for having a mortgage). They straight-up will not allow rooftop solar to succeed under any circumstance, conservatives are politically and emotionally invested in making sure it fails, just like they blamed renewables when the gas power plants froze last year. And they are too entrenched with gerrymandering to ever get out of office, no matter what they do. It is a de-facto one-party state despite democrats consistently returning near 50% in elections.

Samsung moving there is going to be a problem for them, all these disruptions are terrible, not just the outright brownouts but also fabs are extremely sensitive to power quality, small surges or drops will screw up wafers and reduce output quality too. But none of this is a surprise, if you move a business to Texas, and you are some type of commercial or industrial operation that depends on electricity, you really get what you deserve.

I feel bad for the people though.

It makes 100% sense to be hungry while you are on diet. The opposite would be surprising.

But you are even hungry now that you are not on a diet. Do you prefer to be hungry and obese or be hungry and not be obese ? Not saying that it is just something that you can decide like that. But I would understand your point if you were not hungry now, but you say this is not the case.

Most Java is very easy to comprehend, but then you have things like implicit finals and whatever you call the `List<? extends Something>` language construct. I think most Java is very boring, functional code with some notable exceptions related to threading and the typing system. It gets the job done, but often in an ugly, roundabout way.

The way `Optional` is implemented and the roundabout way to just grab the first item in a list (`list.stream().findFirst()` or `var e = null; if (!list.isEmpty()) e = list.get(0);`?) where other languages have added helpers years ago. Or, even worse, the lack of tuples, leading to your average medium-sized Java project containing five different implementations of Tuple/Pair. There are also runtime restrictions that sometimes crop up because Oracle can't break compatibility (type erasure, for example).

If code clarity was the only metric for language quality then we'd all be writing some BASIC derivative. I don't think more modern languages like Swift and Kotlin are all that applicable to all areas where Java shines, but ever since dotnet went open source and cross platform I'm really starting to wonder why anyone still bothers with Java.
No. How is that anything more than a front end framework?

> In general I would agree, but as soon as you’re using popstate, you’ve broken that completely: it’s inherently global and will conflict with any other compositions

It can be problematic to access globals from functional programming contexts, but I don't really see how History would cause conflicts here. Do you have any examples?

If you are really worried about this then the proper way to solve it imo is to pass `history` in as a prop or Context instead of calling it from the global `window` directly. This follows functional paradigms and is more in line with React principles. This has some other advantages as well. For example, if you are using test frameworks like Jest, you can test the link component by mocking the History object being passed in.
> It's more like they DO NOT want to believe how small portion sizes are required to consistently lose weight.

In the immortal words of Jasper Carrott:

> they DO NOT want to believe how small portion sizes are required to consistently lose weight

My problem isn't meals and their potions, it is absent-minded snacking between. I'm finding it a lot harder to drop the few Kg I put on over 2019/2022/2021 (largely in 2020, when I like many had a bit of a mentally unstable few months and comfort eat a lot) than I found it to drop a few tens of Kg in 2015/2016.

> The "special treatment" includes:

Sure, I never said a-holes don't exist. Sadly they do. My main point is that most common folk is tolerant (even supportive) but that the LGBT group makes enemies out of the common people by blaming them for their plight. And that they go overboard by demanding unreasonable things: like "call me ze/zir".

Also maybe the fact that having LGBT lessons in school is a tad too much. Most kids are impressionable and these "lessons" might have the exactly opposite effect: turn kids into LGBT people before they even discovered themselves sexually.

These are what makes regular folk people hate LGBT (or only trans in particular).

Statistically however, most people are indifferent and wouldn't care one bit. The sad reality however is that many straight folks and girls feel like the trans people are asking for too much. A broken public debate, which is extremely sad -- I'll immediately agree with that.

> So if you eat less, your body eventually adjusts so that you're satiated earlier.

I have heard anecdotes from people who say this is true and anecdotes from people who say it is very much not true. It is certainly more comforting to believe that people who've gained weight aren't permanently doomed to hunger, but I'd love if anyone could drop a supporting source.
There's no doubt a graphic designer can do more things better in this area. But a dev can acquire a skillset that is sufficient. I for example feel confident designing a frontend to the satisfaction of a customer, but I would never be able to put together a flyer or design an ad.

As a comparison: While a skilled sculptist is undoubtetly better at his craft than a mechanic, the latter can take pride in finishing off a machine part just as much as the sculptist, and to an untrained eye, the parts display an equal amount of skill.

My personal opinion is that they should have done a log linear histogram which solves the problems you mention (with other trade offs) but to me the big news was making the db flexible enough to have that data type.

> Sticking with an Audiophile theme, I was surprised to learn its 50yrs of the Technic's SL 1200!?! https://www.technics.com/global/home/sl1200/50th-anniversary...

I'm trying to fetch one. At 1099 EUR it's kinda a steal: only 100 EUR more than a non-anniversary / unlimited one. And the (non limited) used ones anyway can easily go for 800 EUR.

It's not as epic as the 1995 limited run of 5000 gold-plated units (which, I'm sure, are now worth a little fortune so I'll never have one of these), but at 12 000 units that 50th anniversary run looks like a real bargain and the closest I can get to that 1995 collectible one.

Are you getting one?

I use Kanban with manually created cards based on preexisting notes, with the Dataview plugin to get the tasks from the respective note, so that within the Kanban view i can see the subtasks required.

Alternatively i also have a view of all tasks accros notes ( grouped by custom metadata).

In terms of workflow, i start my morning by looking at the Kanban and tasks view, and calendar/Slack/email, after which i plan my day with the Day Planner plugin ( which is kind of abandoned and not really necessary besides an automatic Gantt view of the day, and an indicator of where you are on the current thing and how much time remains until the next one).

Just want to note here that I recently switched off MFP for Cronometer because MFP had a literal week long outage and is architected in such a way that it must phone home in order to save anything like a recipe you make. So that was a whole week where I couldn't save a new recipe.

I've found Cronometer to be a lot faster in every way, and actually has an up to date database and when you scan something it doesn't have, it lets you scan the label and updates the database. Highly recommend.

In my experience (I think there's some regional variation here) they were still thriving in the mid/late 90s, and I continued to frequent local computer shops until around the mid aughts. For me, there were three major factors: computers got more standardized, so one didn't need to consult a guru to make a decent system; documentation went online, see above; and finally companies like NewEgg just crushed it in terms of inventory that local shops couldn't compete with. They could special-order whatever parts you wanted, but that was slower and more expensive.
