>0/40 Republicans helped in any way.

Republicans had no access to even read the bill draft. They were limited to voting for the proverbial pig in a poke (remember Pelosi: "You have to pass the bill to see what's in it.")
I'd rather see how it's implemented.

In my experience enterprisy abstractions are a lot of motion without any progress. They impede change and stymie understanding.

The cynical part of me thinks that is the whole point.

How much did wars in Afghanistan and Iraq cost? War in Afghanistan was only important for posturing. This is also the reason why when US decided to leave, it did not look back. Putin of course inferred that it is signal of weakness when it was not. Putin also inferred that Europe trying to keep good relations and keep doing business is signal of weakness. He stepped into trap created by his own delusion.
Apologies. Tangent:

A little deflation discourages spending, a little inflation encourages it. A lot of either is ruinous. Your example is one with deflation at an average of 120% for a decade straight. How well would an economy with inflation of 120% work out? Just ask Argentina.

Maybe a little inflation is good for us, the problem is how often it becomes a lot. Since 1920, at least 55 hyperinflation events have taken place, destroying savings and creating economic hardship [1]. Such events generally result from the mismanagement of financial systems and the economy by central governments.

Bitcoin offers an alternative in which sound money exists outside the control of governments and central banks. Who knows where it'll go, but it's an interesting experiment.

It's great to have control over this but I suspect most users never knew this was happening, had no idea dd could bypass that behavior, nor knew which argument to pass to dd to accomplish this. It's like saying 'what makes 3d printers so great is you can make anything!' but you'd be way better off with an industrially forged object than the 3d printed object.
You're arguing that those who survived this long will survive more than 10 years. I mean, yes, but

1) food in this economy is still delicious so heart disease is still the cause of 50% of deaths, and

2) humans only have one copy of p53 from each parent, so everyone dies of cancer if Heart disease or <random> doesn't get them first.

Given 1 and 2, the boomers are on their way out. My mom (born 1953) might make it another 20 years, but my dad (born 1945) is living on borrowed time (20 pk-yr history and cancer).

I am having a difficult time following the author’s explanation in this article. I believe it’s flawed, but I’m hoping an economist jumps in and comments on this one.

> When a currency’s value is based on belief alone, it’s liable to evaporate.

It is my understanding that all currencies (fiat money) are not like hard assets. So belief, or trust, is necessary in establishing the value of any currency, not just crypto.

A filesystem is, but a flat file alone is not. That was the only point of my comment - I was just being pedantic.
The “section”[0] or “subpage.” Programs are section 1, hence ‘dd(1)’ The idea is that it can be possible for a library function (section 3) to have the same name as an executable. In which case, you’d type into your shell:

man 1 <name> # executable: <name>(1)
man 3 <name> # function: <name>(3)

Without the distinction argument, man will throw its arms up in the air and give up.

However, if there’s no ambiguity (such as with ‘dd’ where only the executable exists), you can drop the section number parameter when running man. man will then search all the sections, see that ‘dd’ only exists in section 1, and go from there.

You can also trip on the stairs or a curb and smash your brain yet we don't wear helmets and armor to take a walk or climb some stairs. Apparently 30k-40k people a year die from stuff like that. (based on a quick google search so no idea if it's low or high)

https://www.lawfirms.com/resources/personal-injury/slip-and-...

What body/head armor are you wearing when you take a shower?

> A study conducted by the Consumer Affairs Agency based in part on these statistics estimates that around 19,000 people lose their lives every year in accidents while bathing

Your odds of dying as a pedestrian appear to be 7x more than cycling. Why are you not wearing armor while walking? Clearly it's irresponsible not to.

https://danger.mongabay.com/injury_death.htm

Are you ready to live in a society where it's expected you'll wear a helmet except when sleeping? You certainly don't want to be one of those people that slipped in your house and died. I don't. But, I'm also not willing to wear a helmet just to exist.

Am I stupid? In 2050 will everyone be wearing helmets for walking and people like me will be considered needlessly risking death for not wearing one?
Fascinating, but the author missed a couple of the most interesting aspects of the chariot.

Number one, wheels. The ancient war chariot is a prime early example of how the adage that you should not reinvent the wheel is poor advice. Chariot builders had to reinvent (so to speak) and hone and advance the wheel greatly for use in chariots, because the wheels needed to be robust and light to an extent that wheels had never been before.

And why did the wheels need to be so light? That brings us to the second interesting thing that the author didn’t mention, which is the fact that horses of the time were smaller, not having yet been bred up to the size needed for rideability in battle. Therefore, instead, horses were used to pull chariots. And the chariots had to be light to make them nimble, and because the horses (and mules in some cases, sure, but that is neither here nor there) were not the huge steeds that we have today.
This is unbridled greed playing out in a negative way between doctor and a patient.

Just because something can be done does not mean it should be done.

That said, keep doing it! These stories have real legs! Catch and spread nicely enough to be highly effective universal health care advocacy.

Personally, there is absolutely no way I would allow stuff like this to happen. I bet many physicians are busy and do not review billing to the degree our current policy requires them to. One would think fear of this discussion happening would be right at the top of a short list titled: "bad things are likely to happen"
Long term your best bet is still stocks. Stocks naturally resist inflation- when inflation goes up earnings will go up with them. The current P/E is high but it's not insanely high. Sure, stocks can still go down 10% or 20% (or 30% or 40% though less likely) but your cash is also going to get eroded by that much over the next few years and at least you have a productive investment.

Whether real estate is worthwhile depends on your local markets. In some parts of Europe it might be. If you need a place to live, and you think the prices are reasonable (e.g. it's a market that hasn't seen crazy prices due to QE and low rates) and you can afford it then I'd definitely consider keeping in mind that it's also a long term play, not a short term one. If it's purely investment property the calculation is different.
The whole point is to get them to overstuff it though. That's why you make it seem at first like you're not going to want much but then you ask for everything you can possibly get, one by one.

"A bowl"

"White rice"

"Black beans"

"Oh yeah, some veggies too"

"Actually maybe let's add some sofritas to that"

etc.

That said -- I usually go with a bowl instead of burrito, makes their life and my life easier
You understand the JVM was designed at the same time as the language? It could work any way they liked. And does.
Not sure how I missed seeing this before today, but thank you very much for bringing it up. That is a particularly good article. It has a lot of food for thought.
It is most definitely faked, as in purposefully engineered. There's a whole industry for this and every vehicle manufacturer has a team of sound designers working on designing sound for every vehicle model.

In my particular area teenagers were known to modify their shitty 100cc motorbikes to sound like 1000cc bikes quite successfully. Often you see people turn around to see who brought a harley on the streets just to see two kids rolling in at 40km/hour lol
Batteries will probably be like many other car parts. You get charged a core fee and you receive the cash once it's returned.
> That kind of thing makes it hard to play well with others. When I was a manager, I didn’t have that issue.

I'd suspect you just have adhd and not autism. But psychologists are just humans like everyone else and hears "social problems" and sets out to match anything you have to autism criteria, even though the person obviously isn't autistic.

The other things you talk about just maps to adhd as well, like being easily distracted, super focus on things you care about.

It’s funny (given that the name likely is inspired by Useless Use of ‘cat’) that examples here have actual useless uses of ‘cat’. ‘cat file | pv > disk’ can just be ‘pv < file > disk’.

But whatever. I’m sure 90% of code stems from something someone read and copied or came most easily to them. It works.

‘dd’ was really useful for finicky media like tapes and doing EBCDIC translation. It’s still great when you combine bs and count. Blow away an MBR, make an xGB file, etc.

It’s a Swiss Army knife. It can do a lot, but isn’t the best tool for most things. I still love it. Probably just muscle memory.

What would be the advantage of doing that? We're currently researching CO2 sequestration to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it somewhere outside of the atmosphere. So what would we gain by burning plastics? Even if they are not recycled - having those plastics in a landfill is a lot better than burning them and putting CO2 into the atmosphere.
Yes. This. Relax and be kind to yourself. Know how to never miss the important emails and todos, but treat everything else as a "stream". I don't ever get to inbox zero because what's the point? How will that help me? Bookmark and save everything you like, as long as you can find the important stuff. I.e. in your reminders/Asana/Trello/todo app, have a "someday maybe" list of stuff you might get to one day but it's not going to be a disaster if you miss it.. same with bookmarks - save it and in the future you can search for it if you need it. Don't let the tools run you.

Some Android phone manufacturers are terrible in releasing security updates. Even within the same brand different models are updated, or not, to different cadence. In my experience you are pretty much stuck with the version of Android that the phone was released with.

When upgrading Android apps, they seem to be less dependent upon having the latest version of Android in order to run. At least that has been my experience. I keep all my old phones and tablets and test webapps that I write with the most recent version of Chrome that I can still load onto them.
What now, this sounds terrible. I'll have to read up on it.

"The conversion rate is not true" ... reminds me of when my dad traveled to Angola in the 1980s and there were currency controls in place.

Government workers there would be paid in the local kwanza currency which at the official conversion rate would seem to be reasonable dollar-wise given local black market dollar prices for goods. However, nobody wanted kwanza at the official government rate, and instead a dozen eggs might cost a month's government worker salary at the real, unofficial conversion rate.

To make ends meet a government worker would need to leverage their access to rare goods. To maintain the fiction of the official rate the government would offer a limited supply of rare goods (eg pharmaceuticals) to government workers in special commissaries. Workers would buy these supplies at the official government store kwanza rate and then sell them for dollars on the black market for their true local demand black market value. Then they could buy eggs for fewer hours of work.

It was a very precarious, risky, and time consuming operation for these workers.

Incidentally in 2017 Luanda, Angola, was the most expensive city in the world with a 2-bedroom flat renting for US$6800 monthly. Still inefficient.

First of all, congratulations on the success of your project!

Secondly, I'm sorry to hear about your headaches. I suffer from fragrance induced migraines as well as migraines triggered by pressure changes in the atmosphere. Calgary, Canada was terrible for me. I moved to Vancouver, and it's been a game changer.

I have a few questions:

1. What are all the ways your headaches impact your productivity?

2. What are all of the options available to you (other than location)?

Sounds like these need to be full-time cities for you to grow the AI research team. I'm wondering if a rotation could work or some other ways to grow the team without been in London full time. Options could include living outside of London and having the team come to you for their "off-site" a few times a month. I lived in Dorset. It's gorgeous there. Probably too far from London for you, but perhaps there's something workable.

3. What are all of the risks with all of the options available to you?

For example, missing out on talent by not being in a hub like London (an assumption to validate), not forming deep bonds by not being in London full-time (tons of ways to address this), etc. A risk analysis may help bring clarity to your decision.

I help people get unstuck for a living. Hopefully these questions help somewhat.
That said, I'm not sure why this would be better

One might do well to start with the assumption that "taking XYZ orally" is not as effective as producing it naturally.

The digestive system involves a pit of acid and a diverse, poorly-understood, and variable biome. It is an extremely fraught and indirect way to introduce substances into the body. Obviously many things can be introduced this way, but the list of those that can't is probably longer than the list of things that can.

Or `-Werror` that makes

// given
func Onoz() error { return errors.New("kaboom") }
// when
Onoz()
// does not compile due to unhandled error

Golang has an existing syntax for purposefully eating errors via

_ = Onoz()

but I've caught innumerable bugs in codebases where the author didn't realize (or care?) that funcs returned error and just swallowed it

For a language where an _unused import_ is a compilation error, surely either making error swallowing also a compile error, or (as opt-in behavior) using -Werror as with gcc to say, "no, seriously: no error swallowing permitted"

It might require some silliness given the "vendor deps" pattern, but then again, if one of your deps is also careless, maybe that's _exactly_ the circumstances under which you'd want to call timeout
I am similar. I started using Blender for 3D printing models and while it is awkward - it works. And it has the potential to do so much other really cool stuff.

I am not kind? I did not disparage or misrepresent anything, and I did not make you sign a legal document to read my content either. I pointed out objective problems that you could easily have addressed at any point instead of doubling down.

Instead you are choosing to take offense, personally call me names, invent a flat-out crazy definition for "open source", stated that there's no difference between the MIT license and your consumer-hostile ToS (licenses are not ToS!), and try to justify your 17 pages of legalese (the most far-reaching I have ever read) by the fact that you are "not a lawyer". You know what not-lawyers don't do?

You could have "shown kindness" a few comments back by fixing the metadata of your NPM package, give any indication that the ToS were a mistake and would be fixed, or offer any sign at all that you were in fact "a flesh and blood human being" who fixes their mistakes.

Hubert Dreyfus had a good point to make, but unfortunately didn't do a great job of making it. He tended to be rather confrontational and lacked the patience to interact at length with his critics.

His project with reference to AI was to collect the relevant results of Continental philosophy, mainly from the works of Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Lyotard, and Wittgenstein. He showed that many of the questions being asked in AI research had already been seriously treated by philosophers. However, his books were derided by the AI community, because the answers he found were not what AI researchers wanted to hear. I think it was not until the late 1990s that the AI community generally recognized the truth of his arguments.

The submitted paper was his first report on this. He later expanded it into the book What Computers Can't Do in 1972.[1] Look for the much expanded MIT Press edition of 1992.[2] A good complement to the book is the detailed review by Zenon Pylyshyn, who called it "an exasperating mixture of nonsense, well-deserved criticism, understanding and insight."[3] I would say that the first half of the book, where Dreyfus summarizes the work of others is very good, but the second half, where he develops his own ideas, is best ignored.

In 2007, Dreyfus wrote a paper summarizing the issues and describing how he influenced the research direction of Terry Winograd.[4]
