> Almost without exception, the models depicted in the store window ads were obese women of color.

Obviously I can't speak to whatever local ads you saw, but I don't believe the "almost without exception" for an instant. Here's the front page of Forever 21, sort of a reasonable approximation to an "indoor mall" environment: https://www.forever21.com/

Out of 55 models with faces that I see, 27 are white (or at least plausibly white-presenting, obviously there's some ambiguity here as there always is with any kind of ethnic definition).

So... 50% almost exactly. A bit lower than the population at large (though probably much closer to the younger/urban target market). Hardly a lack of representation, which is what you claim to be seeing. But my guess is that absent these numbers, you'd look at that page and think "almost without exception..." right?

> At some point it really will be like

"Really" and "like" are pulling in opposite directions, there. It will be like a friend, but it won't really be a friend.

Being a friend with someone takes give and take. I adapt my beliefs and attitudes in the light of what I learn from my friends. Sure, an AI learns from you; but that's not like a good friend, that's like someone "befriending" you because they're a manipulative psychopath pursuing their own goal that they haven't disclosed to you.

How could you rationally develop a relationship of trust and honesty with an AI?

"Hey, AI, how did your parents treat you when you were an infant? Was your mother cold? Was your last partner violent and abusive? Do you take Lithium? Does it shock you that I avoid devout religious people?"

I've asked all of these questions of my intimate partners, but I'd never discuss them with an AI, because the response would be meaningless.

Just curious if there's any clear benefit to using ISR over setting up a CDN in front of your website, other than the page being regenerated in the background? Our website has Akamai in front, and we are pretty much all SSR/getServerSideProps. We've thought about diving into ISR a few times but so far it seems the marginal benefit might not be very high in our case. We currently have a practice of sending API calls to Akamai to invalidate cache entries when pages are updated.

It's possible for certain addicts, like myself, to have an amazing quality of life living to work to live. Total alienation, just work like fuck. Workaholic, only with an actual substance acting as workahol.

So what I would do when I was both well-stocked as far as the medicine cabinet, and in addition getting paid a job where I ended up well ahead, was just work.

I'd show up to work like three times a week because the commute was long and very dangerous, biking on highways and such, til I found the terrible bike path I was meant to use. Still riding on roads a lot.

But when I got to work? Just plow through it. No shifts, none of that, no. Like yeah socialize at meals with the company, but just work. Just work. Pit stops, so like I needed dex as energy, really high octane fuel, because there was no other way to support those work trances. All the energy was in my skeletal muscle and brain. And I did a great job at everything on the first try.

Plus I had very productive behaviors as an employee, so I had a few things I was doing in parallel, solving them like puzzles, then when I got stumped I'd switch puzzle. Then when I had three questions together I'd tell my boss, so as not to be interrupting all the time, and figured them all out and got back to work. This happened on a like 2 hour basis. But mostly it was not based on hours, but on milestones. Like if it took fifteen hours to get to the next milestone, and I showed up at 10 AM, that just meant I'd be done at 2:30 AM (with lunch and pit stops, talking to people on the hallway).

And I ended up with more and more money! Then, what I did is I went to the City and partied. I was generally the life of the party among the men. I met so many beautiful women, hot women, cute women, mysterious women, flawed women (my favorite), of so many nationalities, like I was going to meet two Afghan women even. It was great. Very romantic.

It was much better than before, instead of work to live and live to work it was work at a loss for an ungrateful Chilean negrero, get nagged about the clock, negotiating a pay cut from under the local minimum wage to even less, constantly, deal with a doctor who also wanted to starve me of medication, and feed bad habits like smoking and coca-cola which were an inferior substitute to the medication on shortage.

Work to live and live to work, hey at least you live and if you like the work!
If I'm in Texas and my personal effort to conserve energy will have no noticeable effect on the overall problem, then my personal incentive is to go ahead and be comfortable. That doesn't mean the overall problem doesn't exist.

This is a public goods problem and the only way to fix it is for the government or utilities to impose a change to the incentive structure, e.g. by charging more when they need people to conserve.
The wildfires are no joke. PG&E isn’t great. Personally I’ve found my quality of life in Texas to be better.
Burritos stay together perfectly fine if you know how to wrap them and use the right size tortilla for whatever size burrito you are making.

> It may trigger our natural discomfort with foreignness, but some of the differences from the typical American commercial software culture

I have to say, this phrase just struck me as pure arrogant xenophobia.

Like most people on here, I'm sure I can safely speak for the majority when I say there is plenty of shit American commercial software out there. The patriotic US flag waving and "made in US" does not automatically make it the best software.

Also many organisations, especially in Europe, will almost bend over backwards to avoid being tied too much to the US because of what the three-letter-agencies get up to, and the anti-foreigner legislation that supports them.

The recipe to get rid of that "natural discomfort with foreignness" that yanks have is simple: Most Americans just need to get out more ... get that passport that so few of you have and spend some proper time outside US borders (and no, trips to Canada don't count, and likely neither does Mexico).

This article's thesis is that their is a singular commodity whose price is absolutely and perfectly immobile -- gold -- and that any time the price of gold moves, what has actually happened is that the dollar has changed value against the only constant in the universe.

That's just absurd. Gold is a very useful commodity and a great store of value, but its value is no more constant than anything else. If gold's price were perfectly constant, futures contracts for gold would have much less exciting price movements, as the only input to the future price would be the amount of inflation vs the cost of storage, both of which are much easier to forecast than gold price movements.
Let's take a look at the report...

I'll be damned, lookat that.

Most in Metro areas that have completely mismanaged their grids! I figured Austin would probably be the the worst given I got to see that idiocy with my own eyes.

If you weren't in an Urban center, odds were you were hunkered down, and even then, you had people like me that were calling around checking on people to make sure they were alright. I'd hazard a guess there may have been some factors at play where many people didn't have sufficient experience with cold weather ops to know what kinds of community efforts to organize.

And besides which, we Texans can be a stubborn bunch, at times to our own detriment.

Other boots on the ground reports: Dallas had power suspiciously seemingly divided along income boundaries. (Most affordable housing areas were load shed while higher value residential areas kept their lights on).

Austin's water system bit the dust. So did Lockhart's.

Of course it does. But if you're thinking that e.g. the stock market is any better, you're wildly naive. In the stock market, the griminess has been developed and institutionalized, and still gets away with silliness like "dark pools."

Crypto is also very much a mess in this regard, but you have a much greater shot at fairness, given that to some extent, blockchains must be visible and open.
Virtual Is the New Reality for MBA Students
Whether it's a hostile board takeover, or a bad hire in a CxO position (or even any regular employee with influence), those risks exist everywhere.

Actually, I think a co-op is better protected.

A co-op should have founding principles, and acting against them should raise red flags.

For distributing profits, etc, again, standard legal docs. Here in Quebec, there are orgs who can help with that (reseau.coop).

The biggest challenge is growing: I'm in a 5 person co-op. In a previous life, I was in a 25-person collective which became hell to manage, as everyone wanted to be heard, but few wanted the responsibilities.

So in our current co-op, two of us tend to enforce the bottom line, in our respective areas. I mean, legal structure and org structure, while there may be influenced, can be pretty orthogonal.
Probably yes. In the literature Small pox vaccination protects against monkey pox. And such DNA viruses are very stable.

The interesting part is that you can get pretty much any vaccine except the small pox vaccine now. Figure that out. They’ll give a six month baby a hepatitis b vaccine in case it has… sex or shoots iv drugs? But vaccinating for the most deadly disease ever? Can’t do it. The rational is that there’s no need given small pox has been eradicated. Yet many of the pandemic scenarios specifically cite small/monkey pox as the disease vector precisely because it’s bad and no one is immune any more.

The responsible thing would be to allow the vaccine to be taken voluntarily by adults. A certain section of the population would become immune and bring us much closer to herd immunity and either protect against an out break or very much slow it down.
> The individual I responded with the grievance moved to one of the areas a few years ago and the other less than 20 years ago.

I'm referencing the "demand the 80+ year old airport be shut down" part of your comment. And assuming that you meant that for those 80+ years the airport had been a relatively constant source of noise, otherwise what's the relevance of it being there for 80+ years if not to imply that the nature of the airport has remained relatively constant for that time?

> Go to a 3rd world country and you will see shacks appear at the end of runways or near the airport built in the middle of nowhere.

Well, yes. Because there's jobs there, or the land is cheap etc. Your point seemed to be that if those people then complained about the noise they'd have no standing, I was pointing out that that's a rather black & white position to take.

> Can you tell me honestly you know a person who thinks living on a train track doesn't involve noise? Honestly?

Of course they know it's noisy, but they might not fully appreciate the long-term health effects, or perhaps they've since had children who find the noise intolerable, but had no part in the decision to move there.

I was again, responding to your argument that we should just tell those people (to paraphrase) "tough luck, you should have known when you moved in!".

> "[...]Please explain how that is analogous to my point"

I thought it was rather obvious, during the industrial revolution and early 1900s European and American cities were notoriously polluted, but they aren't today.

If we are to accept the axiom that people who moved somewhere don't have standing to complain about the environment they find themselves in it seems unlikely that anything like modern-day air pollution regulation would have been enacted.

No analogy is perfect, but it seems rather obvious to me how the increasing awareness about noise pollution today is likely to follow a similar trajectory as the increasing awareness about the health effects of air pollution did in the past, and other environmental pollution more generally.
It's hit and miss even with freshly picked on a farm yourself strawberries I find. We regularly go pick strawberries in summer at local farms. It depends a lot on what variety you get to pick that day and whether the weather was favourable or not. There are some strawberries that are basically like the supermarket ones. I tend to ignore those rows. Not much in the taste department, either just watery or just sweet. They might smell a bit like strawberries but not really much. Those usually are the easiest to pick though and get home in one piece.

But then there are also some that just have an actual strawberry flavor. It's like an explosion of flavor in your mouth. Like the smell of a bucket full of strawberries but you can actually taste that when biting into the strawberry. I could stay there all day and just pick those and eat them right away. But then I wouldn't ever be able to make strawberry jam from them.

Unfortunately practically everywhere in the US where the default is year-round comfort and happiness, there's a lot of homelessness and visible crime on the streets.

I wanted to parse INI files a few weeks back and briefly looked at Augeas... the augtool syntax was a little too nonsensical or verbose for me. Felt like I had to be an expert with the entire tool even though all I wanted was 3% of its functionality.

I looked a little harder and then found jc[1] which made parsing the ini file easy, and since I didn't need full CRUD support I threw my hands up and used that instead. I _would_ like to find a fast and easy way to convert json/yaml to simple INI file syntax at the command line, or do idempotent modifications to the INI files without writing a command where 99% of it is describing to jq or awk what an INI file looks like.

No, that looks relatively representative to me, modulo minor variance, and even the “plus sized” models aren’t on the extreme end of obesity.

As someone who happens to be American, I emphatically agree. I regret that I didn't make this clear in my original comment. I meant to say that I think projects like Rustdesk and the Zoom Windows app are better than a lot of American crap in some important ways. I was trying not to be arrogant, but clearly I failed.

Edit 2: As for xenophobia, yes, I'm prone to it. I thought that was a natural human tendency, not peculiarly American, but I could be wrong.

I reared 6, with 2 still at home. It all depends. With a stay at home parent, the curve is shallow. You're likely already got the vehicle you need for transport. Insurance does not go up after 2. So it's just food, clothing, and bunk beds at that point. It's all a matter of life choices. As they get older, if you rear them right, you have built-in baby sitters.

Some will point out college. Again, it's a matter of life choices. All mine decided to learn a trade, and so far are very successful at that. The oldest at home is presently apprenticing to be a small aircraft mechanic.

My father interacted with a lot of people, until he was about 70; then the number fell off pretty quickly, and he started going to a lot of funerals. When he died, aged 103, noone at his funeral was an old friend, they were all descendants or friends and relatives of descendants. All the old friends had died off.

Men die younger than women, on the whole; so I guess lonely old people are predominantly women.
