Last month I had to use an Essentials PH-1 phone for a day while i waited for a new phone.
It was the perfect size for me and the build quality was really nice. Unfortunately, the OS was outdate and the specs not as high. It has 4GB RAM, Snapdragon 825, 13MP camera @ 2160p and a 5.7" display.

It looked premium, it felt premium and was the perfect size. If someone could pack more punch with specs in that phone I would buy it for even $1k.
This logic seems a little flimsy. A ship-killer doesn't obsolete ships any more than nuclear weapons have obsoleted armies. In practice these weapons are available but not deployed, or the enemy being fought doesn't have them. The US is typically deploying military capability to threaten or invade much smaller countries, so advanced countries having things like ship-killers or nukes are less relevant to the continued usefulness of conventional weapons.
> A professional sports person (like a soccer or basketball star) would not be able to give this same excuse, so why would it not be the same in an engineering setting?

A professional sport star, certainly at "dream team" level, would be compensated far better than any alternative employment they may have. After just a few years at that level, they would have earned such vast amounts that financially they can retire, and any further employment in their role is optional. It's not a big deal if they lose it.

Netflix doesn't pay engineers much above their alternatives. They compete for the best talent with the other top employers, and pay about on par or slightly better, which doesn't compensate the engineer for the very transitory nature of their employment.

Netflix model is inferior for full-time employees, and they're not paying anywhere near enough to make it worthwhile. They're relying on hype rhetoric to convince naive engineers that they are "star athletes", just like all the startups that used to scam engineers into believing they are "rock stars" and will definitely earn millions upon exit, while in reality underpaying and overworking them.
It will also slow down a lot of websites and cause them to stutter and drop frames. This behaviour is the most evident on Netflix.

Just sounds like some people operating under the assumption of unknown unknowns. Best to see if anything died from exposure in an enclosed environment before releasing any possible contaminants out into the wild.
as someone who draws and creates art but isnt necessarily enamored with much of art history (though I'm well aware of much of it) I will say that the experience of creating art and looking at these portraits... there 100% is something that happens once you've gotten to the point of being able to put a realistic image onto a page where instead you start thinking of and reading into every movement, every color every bit of information and imbuing those with meaning.

this has happened in my 3d art and in my 2d art where once I got to a point I was happy with my technical skill, the emotive desire really starts opening up.

of course that doesnt mean I'm some sort of maestro of technical skill, it just means that I have accomplished enough of what I feel like doing technically that I feel perfectly comfortable leaving THAT path and exploring others.

its a shame, the product is kind of nice. But this is 100% of putting.
To be clear, nix-shell --pure serves this use case by accident; it basically drops you into the shell with generic-builder.sh sourced and the build environment for a Nix derivation. This is useful for debugging Nix derivations, and if you are using mkShell you can minimize the pollution, but it's not exactly a development environment tailored for the typical software-engineering workflow.

The tool that (ab)uses nix-shell/nix shell to get this right is devshell [1], which creates an activation script (similar to NixOS itself) that provides a real reproducible development env which works with shells other than bash.

I'm not the person you were discussing this with. I posted the first post about this up thread I think. I think you did a good job of summarizing the sentiment, yes. On 3, I think immigration is good, but it can also depress wages. I agree with 1 and 2 generally. On 4, I think that the revenue per employee in the tech industry vs salary is absolutely ridiculous and that tech workers need a union or higher wages across the industry. I would like to see a higher share of profits going to labor more generally rather than capital. I'm not against profit, but I think that the American worker has been cheated out wages correlating with rising productivity. Now I'm not saying that corporations are holding workers at gunpoint with a ski mask. You should dismiss that mental image. However, Mr. Wilson, I hope that you consider, with all of the retirements and demographics favoring workers now, that this could be a seminal moment for workers to organize and achieve fair wages for perhaps the first time in 40 years. However, outsourcing, scope creep, up-skilling, and automation are all factors, broadly, that could depress wage or job growth or neuter labor organization and rights. Stagnation and inflation could take bites out of the metaphorical apple as well. I'm not denying (most?) tech workers are paid highly relative to other industries. I think for the revenue that they generate or that they protect that they ought to be paid more. However, I think the stress/pay disparity with other industries has and will attract a lot of talent to IT and programming that could depress wages. Nurses, waiters, grocery workers, retail workers, and so forth aren't being paid enough to work in many places or commensurate with the working conditions or education or abuse from customers. There's too much to say and not enough space/time. I hope that summarizes my take on the issue for you, Mr. Wilson.
Seems like a fairly simple system to enforce. Property records are already well known, and it should be trivial to force AirBnB and the other couple sites to open their listings to authorities.

It's further interesting because Gawker went as far as to edit their original piece, at the end of it, to mention that he reached out to them to clarify that he wrote both pieces himself.

They don't even include a link to his piece on Plagiarism Today about the issue, despite linking to LitHub's statement about the issue in a separate edit.

You can have a nice, pleasant life with a rule like "don't be a wanker". You'll have friends and probably a happy family. People will like you. People always like people who are non-threatening and don't make them feel insecure by being really good at something.

What you cannot do is compete in the highest level at any field while caring about things like "will people think I'm a wanker?". If you are succeeding spectacularly at anything, there are guaranteed to be thousands, if not millions, of people who think you're a wanker. Look at people at the top of anything and look at what people say about them.

> The crazy thing is, if you can get to 7 days, anything past that is just mental and you can go as long as you have the body fat to sustain the fast,

It's not that easy. You have to properly substitute electrolytes - sodium, potassium and magnesium. And that is almost impossible without small doses of carbs.

My longest fasting was 42 days. I did 28 days three times before. I'm fasting more or less regularly (once per year) for about 25 years.

Don't do very long fasting without guidance of a doctor. Your heart needs properly balanced electrolytes.

EDIT: I've just seen your other comments here also underlining the need of electrolytes. I still leave my comment here for the other readers ...

> Ethicists and medical officials, including those at the American College of Surgeons, have cautioned that surveilling surgeons to deter malpractice may undermine trust in doctors, hurt morale, violate patient privacy and discourage physicians from taking risks to save lives.

It seems that cause and effect are switched: cameras are installed because trust is low, not the other way around. If physicians are taking risks that cannot be justified, video-recorded or not, then maybe those risks shouldn't be taken.

In any case, these claims of lowering trust, morale, privacy, and efficacy are pure speculations. We need data to support these claims. Before any data is firm presented, it seems reasonable to at least consider installing cameras to catch these criminals.
That's cool -- I didn't know that! Imo, the more effective and cheaply we can store energy and smooth out supply/demand curves, the more attractive solar and wind becomes.

Perhaps one way of encouraging a "greener" grid is to first encourage the development of cheap energy storage solutions, and then letting the market figure out the best way to utilize such storage (rather than the other way around). Might lead to more efficient/creative green energy solutions.

Not everything is a 'strawman' just because it doesn't agree with your experience. There is indeed an if in the start of my comment and it seems pretty remarkable to just leave it to chance and hope it all works out positively. It'll suck remarkably badly if it doesn't.
I'll speak for myself, but I don't think that the iPhone Mini users that chose the iPhone Mini for it's form factor will switch to Android. Personally, I'm all-in on the Apple ecosystem. I prefer the Mini, but I would chose an iPhone 13 Pro over any Android (large or small).
Similar meaning to "ghost kitchen" or "ghost writer", I suppose.
I've had the iPhone Mini since launch and it's basically the perfect phone. I use it without a case and it hasn't gotten any scratches. Camera is excellent, video is solid, processor/RAM is never fully utilized, battery life is very good, if feels amazing to be able to use with just one hand, it's relatively light, and the screen color/brightness/resolution is excellent.
I mean how many of those could actually be housed in a real building without risk of huge amounts of property damage? I bet most people would rather keep a unit empty than to risk dealing with that 1%
I agree and I've always thought it was a bit odd. We don't leave plane crashes out to rust.

Does anyone actually claim that Northern Ireland is a country? The UK claims it as a province, Ireland claims it as a part of Ireland, and independence (as opposed to unionism or Irish reunification) is not very popular unlike in Scotland or Wales.

It seems that Northern Ireland is claimed as a country mostly by analogy to the other constituent countries of the UK. A foolish consistency...

> At the time, she told herself, “I’m just borrowing and changing the language. I will rewrite these parts later during the editorial phase. I will make this story mine again.”

We are taught how to plagiarise at university; where it is encouraged, and, you are marked on how well you do it. Paraphrasing is demanded of you. Repeating in your own words the content of other sources. Good marks for regurgitating the ideas of others with a false patina of creativity: rephrasing, synthesizing and summarizing your source material.

It is a foul process with a false idol at its core: placing dishonest "creativity" on a pedestal, artistic license instead of honest copying of the source material, a sham instead of giving the source proper recognition.

The real world mostly values execution, not a conceptual hall of mirrors, not ideas continuously warped and reflected with gross academic variations.

Edit: "Plagiarise in your own words (citation please)" would be a way to say it ;-)

From the paper

> The portable system desalinates brackish water and seawater (2.5−45 g/L) into drinkable water (defined by WHO guideline), with the energy consumptions of 0.4−4 (brackish water) and 15.6−26.6 W h/L (seawater), respectively.

So it consumes 26Wh/L turning nasty lowtide into drinkable water with no filter.

A 300W solar panel could then produce 10L of water per hour for probably 5 hours a day. 50L a day per panel. That is amazing!
> Is that correct?

Yes, this is correct. In particular, there are certain key combinations which cannot be distinguished (for example, Control+I is indistinguishable from Tab) and some keys aren't affected by modifiers (such as Shift and Control on Space).

There's an extended discussion of this issue, and a proposed solution, at: http://www.leonerd.org.uk/hacks/fixterms/

I guess so - but is a fiat currency an outcome of the study of macroeconomics? I think they had fiat in china a thousand years ago. Maybe someone at that time and place was making up some theory which would reasonably be regarded "macroeconomics" ?
The energy consumption quoted in the article is super confusing. Do they mean it uses 9 Wh in the hour that it takes to produce 0.3 L of water? So do they mean it consumes 9 W while operating and uses 30 Wh/L of water produced? How does that compare per litre to the energy used by reverse osmosis? Seems like that would have been a useful stat to include in the article!

EDIT: I looked up, this source [1] says 2.98 kWh/m^3 for modern, commercial scale RO, so that seems to be about 3 Wh per litre? That seems a lot better?

The reason it's not a big market is that if glove-sizing worked the same way as phones, you'd have people with small glove size walking around in ginormous gloves. That's not the case because glove sizing actually behaves rationally, as opposed to truck-sizing, where every human in America wants a ginormous truck regardless of their actual need. Sadly, phones follow trucks, not gloves, because the former is ego-driven, not need-driven. Apple deserves credit for recognizing the counter-example to its own market presence and engages fully around it while no competitor follows suit.
> After the company spends the windfall it's only worth a million afterwards.
This is true.

But look at a simple example, your example.
Company Worth $1,000,000. 1,000 shares, each worth $1,000.

Windfall Event: They get $1,000,000 of unexpected income.
Now the company was whatever it was before + $1,000,000.

Naturally, that means the company is worth $2,000,000. So the stock price is $2,000.

Well, we buy back half the shares, but it is 500 shares at $2,000 a share. This costs $1,000,000.

Now each share is worth $1,000 because the company has spent half its capital.
