I did not imply probiotics were a panacea. Difficult to imagine such a biological war playing out in every host beneficially. Although the study you mention is concerned with an unusual fermentation process, which may be caused by a different biological mechanism.

Well for one, it runs the same open-source firmware that most open-source mechanical keyboards use. You can alter anything you want about it, including things like the tracking of the ball, drag-to-scroll in firmware, button mapping, and indeed layers. It's running mainline QMK.

It is quite a stretch to say that the letter was about working conditions.

Working conditions is things like working hours, your physical environment, your responsibilities [1]. The SpaceX letter was basically "Musk is uncouth, and we don't like that". A fair criticism, but nothing about working conditions.

The text of the letter can be found at [2], if anyone wants to judge for themselves.

I don't think there is a phrase for it, but I can see why it would be a common misunderstanding to think that that is "free speech absolutism." As far as I know, there is no concept that requires a private citizen (A) tolerate another private citizen (B) saying whatever they want on A's property. Maybe some form of anarchy.

You opened my eyes.
It's not about (in)efficiency but creativity and development budgets.

If you have "unlimited" fast storage, the most technically efficient way to render highly-detailed realistic assets is to underpay a bunch of artists to make a metric ton of highly-detailed realistic assets, then stream them in off disk.

If you don't have that storage, the most efficient way might be to make a smaller number of assets modulated by some technical work, which is more accessible to smaller teams who have one top-shelf programmer but no army of contract artists. Or, the team is forced into a non-realistic art style which gives artists and the industry as a whole more space to design in.

It also means that when you do blow your technical budgets for whatever reason (e.g. nobody upgrades their SSDs for 2 years due to a chip shortage so your median performance projections for release were way off), it starts getting much worse very fast.
Science says otherwise, and I'm not saying this to cause further anxiety, but the picture is crystal clear. In some ways we already did destroy the planet, the biodiversity crisis we are facing appears to be irreversible. In the last 50 years 70% of the wildlife have been lost. We are officially in a mass extinction event. The IPCC climate models paint a grim picture without accounting for carbon-cycle feebacks. There is a major, global drought underway. The temperatures are rapidly climbing. Extreme weather events are increasing in severity. Our entire economy is wildly unsustainable as it is, without including billions of people who yet to get their opportunity of a better life.

Then there is Rupert Murdoch and his propaganda empire suggesting that it's all a liberal conspiracy, which is where you got your information. Don't look up.
I don't follow their platforms, but in Europe one can still expect conservative parties to believe that people should have public goods like healthcare and childcare and education and retirement as basic human rights, that dignity is something we deserve, that a job should mean something more than wage slavery and that the average citizen shouldn’t die in debt. Who they define as persons or citizens is up for discussion on the right, but measured on this other corporate-capitalist scale of being "right", the Democrats are off the scale in European terms.

Even Kodak has a smart camera these days. I wouldn't recommend it but you can get them for as low as $15 on sites like Wish.

Note: the key to managing up is not to vent what's on your mind and go back to giving your bosses what they want in the first place.

The key is to make them suffer your suffering until they realize that if they don't do something, they won't get what they want. As a middle manager, part of that escalation process is to use every means at your disposal to get things to work then inform the next layer when you've run out of options, and hope they aren't dicks and can send some additional resource your way.

You will very quickly discern the practitioners of good (servant) leadership from the bad (narcissistic) generally based on how much they have to have dumped on them before they realize "oh shit, I kinda need them, maybe I should engage".

However, you will be surprised how much once you get toward the top becomes a game of intentionally not doing anything because of the general chaos that ensues with lack of ability to reallly work out to the T downstream effects.

I've noticed the proliferation of visual scripting systems in game engines. It seems to work pretty well for building games. However, we all know that visual scripting has never took off for building other kinds of software.

I'm curious as to why. What in the nature of "normal" software makes visual scripting inconvenient compared to games.

Are you saying that there are literally no policy differences between major political parties in countries like the UK? What about countries that have voting systems that make the legislature more representative of voters' preferences?

The only way I can think to steel-man your position is that you're saying "Some unspecified power would intervene to stop a government relinquishing its monopoly on force even if the population overwhelmingly voted for the government to do so". That's hard to imagine though; not because the unspecified power is so vague, but because no country would ever vote like that to remove the protections that a state provides for them.
Just to be fair here, I believe dumping the stock of a company whose leader is acting so inexplicably that one can no longer be certain of his/her rationality is the right thing to do. I always say, no matter how much you have, it's tactless to throw away money. (Probably the more money you have, the more tactless and tone deaf the act of throwing away money becomes.)

All that said, in this case, as you point out, there are multiple reasons to be dumping stocks of companies owned or influenced by this guy. At least until we have a better handle on what's going on. If nothing's wrong, we can always buy it back. But right now, very few of the market's concerns have much to do with politics. He's acting in an unpredictable manner just when the market appears to be entering a period of uncertainty. It may be because of his politics, but the market doesn't care about the why. Rational people are looking for some level of safety, stability and security at the moment. Unpredictable leaders who appear bent on market manipulation fly in the face of that.

I hadn't really thought before about how left-wing folks typically want higher wages as well as more mass immigration which inherently suppresses wages. In their defense, they want raises waged by law rather than by market (an elevated minimum wage would raise wages irrespective of immigration), but considering how unlikely a minimum federal wage hike is, it seems like they're pursuing two contradictory goals.

EDIT: I was really (naively) hoping this would be discussed maturely. Some clarifying points:

1. "mass immigration" is just intended in opposition to highly selective immigration policies (e.g., policies which allow highly educated or wealthy people to immigrate). This isn't a criticism or a value judgment, and indeed there's something noble and egalitarian about this.

2. observing that these two goals are contradictory doesn't imply ignobility or foolishness, but rather difficulty of task.

3. I'm not a "right-winger" nor do I have a political tribe. I'm not slinging anything at left-wing people.

Alternatively, literally every white woman I know has told me they find the pressure to appear presentable, to look in a certain way, oppressive and stressful. We live in a society that makes it easy for men to oppress women, in public or in private. Tackling domestic violence, exclusion of women from public spaces, women's wages, would make it much easier for women pressured by families or husbands to take the freedoms that are actually important to them, which may or may not include choices about head wear.

So what you are saying is that the original poll ... https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1507259709224632344

>Free speech is essential to a functioning democracy.

>Do you believe Twitter rigorously adheres to this principle?

70% of people, including Musk and the consequences promised are all just plain wrong.

Clearly the the government (local, state, or national) is not punishing the speaker of any tweets, never has done, doesnt have any intention to etc - so what is the big deal, who are we "saving freedome of speech" from?

Also last time I checked, being critical of one's employer is neither a crime nor a violation of any employment contract that I have ever signed. Its a bad look sure, but to be honest it is boardering on a 1984 thought crime if you are instantly fired if you think your boss is a bit of a dick.
Only if you don't understand context and what free speech is.
Dude, please, please get your drains fixed. It's bothering me now.
I am always confused why people do this to themselves - a PhD no less! It would not have taken more than an hour of research to know that you'd be unable to get a decent paying job - whether it's fair or not.
Given the context, it is not much convincing argument.
the argument about illegal drugs is, in part, that someone using them can be blackmailed, and may be a total junkie willing to sell out secrets for a 8 ball. He isn't hanging out on skidrow begging for change to get his next heroin fix.

I don't think either of those apply with Musk, because he is a pot afficianado and openly pushing it, and pro-legalization. Some states have legalized because they want those juicy tax revenues, There is a significant part of the populace that realizes pot has been overcriminalized particularly for those with medical issues. While there are risks and dangers associated with all of these (see Alex Berenson), I don't see an adjudication authority seeing Musk as a security risk.

Dollars talk, and saving the federal government hundreds of millions with cheaper launches probably influences this some. But, the feds prolly see the long view and recognize Musk is likely to push the Americans into the infinity cash supplies of space tourism, space freight, deep space exporation, space mining, and the national prestige of first humans to Mars. Why would they want to impair that over a bit of weed?
Your toilets work because you keep a jug of water next to them to pour directly into the bowl to flush it, because you disconnected the toilet tank. You've decided that a tool that tries to remove waste shouldn't also intake water. After all, intakes have failed in the past and flooded houses.

Better to do that part by hand to be on the safe side.

This is the nature of desktop UI. Your argument for purity of function is sound, but users want their desktop UI to read images for thumbnails and previews anyway because an image file means more to them, semantically, than a pile of inscrutable bits inside a file pointer. Desktops, over time, become a junk drawer of the features "most users want" for "controlling their computer" in the space between dedicated programs.

The whole idea is that if you wait for things to happen before you correct them it may be too late. The very conditions themselves may render it impossible to correct for the future. The best thing to do is have that excess capability in place to handle any eventualities.
Protected concerted activity is the legal term, and broadly encompasses protections for workers who collectively discuss and attempt to improve, among other things, the conditions in their workplace.

I'm not redefining anything, the courts have broadly held that workers, when acting as a group and not just airing individual grievances, have protections for their speech. Things like corporate values, retention, recruiting, public sentiment, workplace diversity, etc are all potentially workplace conditions.

Workplace Conditions has a legal definition, but it is interpreted by the courts and those courts have the ability to adjust those definitions or interpret them as appropriate.
A similar heuristic is very useful for acoustics: the speed of sound is close enough to 1 foot/ms to be a great rule of thumb for estimation.
You don't employ your plumber full time, perennially. Your episodes of petty tyranny probably do not threaten your plumber's livelihood and/or career. Furthermore if your plumber gives you indications on how to avoid damaging your plumbing, it may not be directly related to "fixing the toilet", but he is nonetheless doing his job.
> The bottleneck in a static site generator is I/O. The fact that Python, Ruby, etc based implementations take tens of seconds or more while Go and Rust finish instantly for an I/O bound problem is pretty damning.

My point was that if this was the case, your Python code is probably suboptimal.

Sure, you are comparing against naive implementation as well, but if performance is a concern, don't do naive Python :)

> I gave the example earlier of a web service that was struggling to complete requests in even 60s (despite using Numpy under the hood where possible) while a naive Go implementation completed in hundreds of ms.

Yes, it's easy and sometimes even idiomatic to write non-performant Python code. Getting the most out of pure Python is hard and it means avoiding some common patterns.

Eg. simply using sqlalchemy ORM (to construct rich dynamic ORM objects) instead of sqlalchemy core (tuples) to get 100k+ rows from DB is 20x slower, and that's still 2x slower from pure psycopg (also tuples using basic types). There are plenty of examples like this in Python, unfortunately.
- You fill in their weak spots.

- Make sure they stay on the path (both for themselves and the company). Sometimes, they will stray on both.

Yep, and when the free market sets up conditions to allow those people to be slightly less desperate the Fed will chime in about how unemployment is too low and we need more desparate people, while the wall st pundits go on and on lamenting how rising worker prices might mean that the companies make profits that gasp don't set records. Because apparently the only measure of a good economy is record profits - regular profitable businesses just don't cut it anymore.

If you find this worrying, don't - someone will be along shortly to spend a lot of words proving that this situation (the one where we require desperate people to exist so Elon and Jeff can make a few extra $billion) is somehow the best.
They've got a high volume of employees at physical locations and high churn.

That seems like a recipe for this.
The Fed is about to induce 3 years worth of rising unemployment by their own estimates, so the days of workers not needing to take crap jobs out of desperation will soon be at an end.

You've outlined the lack of a negative incentive (the lack of accountability) but I was asking more about the positive incentive. I.e., what is there incentive for doing the things society doesn't want them to do?

E.g., if the IRS doesn't hold me accountable, there is no negative incentive to stop me from cheating on my taxes. However, I may still pay my taxes because I have a positive incentive to fund social programs I value.
> There's a surplus of management eager to exploit workers.

Can also be written "There's a surplus of customer eager to pay the lowest possible price even if that means exploiting workers."

As shown by the success of Chinese super low cost brands wether we are talking electronics, fashion etc.
Somewhere around IIRC Win8 Microsoft must have gotten really lax about minimizing disk access. Windows started being slow as molasses on an HDD, even for stuff like opening the start menu.

This hurts performance a ton on SSDs, too, it's just less noticeable. Something that should happen so fast you can hardly measure how long it takes, takes... just long enough to notice, which may amount to 100x as long as it should take, but 100x a small number is still pretty small.
Probably, but I think it's helpful for lurkers to see.
The 1950s were a boom-time for the USA, but the UK still had rationing for example, France and Spain had massive refugee housing and a lot of homelessness. Nevermind China still recovering from occupation and civil war, etc.

There is absolutely no way that standard of living would be acceptable, and nor should it be.

That said it does seem to be the way things are going with hyperinflation and shortages, and the spectre of "climate lockdowns" haunting Europe.
Okay what’s your point? People love Tesla. They want the cars so much that they’ll pay huge amounts of money to get them and even more to get them quickly.

Sounds like Toyota is good at making cars people don’t want. What does that say about Toyota?
Yikes. Not a good look for Brex and definitely a big turn off for me to explore Brex in the future. I can understand (and empathize with to some extent) what the company is doing, but it seems boneheaded to handle it like this.
