> greater LGBTQ+ acceptance recently has led to people being more open with that side of themselves, rather than it being the result of environmental pollution

That's a very weird implication. All human beings are complex products of social, economical, genetic, environmental and historical factors.

External factors do not make a person "less themselves" or "less real".
Where does the wealth come from when asset prices go up?

The numbers are irrelevant, because they are based on units that go up and down too.

My house was worth (say) 100,00 units 10 years ago. Now it's worth 200,00 units. The house hasn't changed, but the units have declined in value. So you need more of those worse units to pay the same amount.

A better way of looking at it is with an inert asset like gold. In the 1930s an ounce of gold was about $35, today that same ounce of gold costs about $1800. The gold itself hasn't varied. (It can't, it's a metallic element.) But the buying-power of the USD has declined tremendously; so much so that one dollar today has the roughly the same buying power that two cents did way back in 1935.

When it's done to force competitors out of a market it's called predatory pricing [1], and it is not a legitimate business tactic. It is illegal in many jurisdictions, and generally considered unethical even where it's not specifically outlawed. It is also considered a strategy to achieve a monopoly or near-monopoly pricing.

So, if the author was fired for the reasons they believe, that's pretty bad behavior. But if he had not been fired, what was management supposed to have done about the cult members working for this department?

Yes, the cult's leader sounds like a pretty awful person, but he wasn't working there. What were the cult members doing in their work in the department that was clearly wrong? It's suggested that there was favoritism and unfair promotion going on -- but it's not very well evidenced here. Were they using company money to fund their organization? It's also not clear from the article that the wine outfit is a cult subsidiary.

And if the concern is primarily that the cult itself is a shady organization with some bad people, and that something should be done to stop Google from having a clique of staff that are even _affiliated_ with that organization ... well that seems like a really fraught policy. Are you supposed to then ask everyone in the department about their religious affiliations, or whether they've given money to a fringe religious organization? That also seems like a really unhealthy road for a company to go down.

Comparison with old version is actually in the article for the patient reader. It could go to the top but I don't think it will make a difference. At the end of the day it is the article at the official QuestDB website which gives the reader a spoiler about the bias.

There's obvious correlation, but causation? And in particular that it would be obvious which way?

Something all architecture astronauts deploying microservices on Kubernetes should try is benchmarking the latency of function calls.

E.g.: call a "ping" function that does no computation using different styles.

In-process function call.

In-process virtual ("abstract") function.

Cross-process RPC call in the same operating system.

Cross-VM call on the same box (2 VMs on the same host).

Remote call across a network switch.

Remote call across a firewall and a load balancer.

Remote call across the above, but with HTTPS and JSON encoding.

Same as above, but across Availability Zones.

In my tests these scenarios have a performance range of about 1 million from the fastest to slowest. Languages like C++ and Rust will inline most local calls, but even when that's not possible overhead is typically less than 10 CPU clocks, or about 3 nanoseconds. Remote calls in the typical case start at around 1.5 milliseconds and HTTPS+JSON and intermediate hops like firewalls or layer-7 load balancers can blow this out to 3+ milliseconds surprisingly easily.

To put it another way, a synchronous/sequential stream of remote RPC calls in the typical case can only provide about 300-600 calls per second to a function that does nothing. Performance only goes downhill from here if the function does more work, or calls other remote functions.

Yet, every enterprise architecture you will ever see, without exception has layers and layers, hop upon hop, and everything is HTTPS and JSON as far as the eye can see.

I see K8s architectures growing side-cars, envoys, and proxies like mushrooms, and then having all of that go across external L7 proxies ("ingress"), multiple firewall hops, web application firewalls, etc...
You can absolutely mount a BentoML service into your own Starlette (or any ASGI framework); `svc.asgi_app` is all you'd need.

Instantiating and using a runner can be done anywhere with `init_local`, but it's really the runner ASGI app that does the work of queuing and batching. We've thought about allowing users to spin that app up separately but it's not a focus right now; instead we're trying to ensure that the system is as easy to use for data scientists as possible and have that workflow fully ironed out before we support the more advanced use-cases.

The whole runner situation is quite complex because we wanted to support user-created runners in the nicest way possible, and also leave the space open for non-python runners (and service app) in the future.
Yeah, totally understandable. Although I don't want to throw our support folks under the bus here either: it's really hard to be 100% accurate when you're dealing with years of relatively fast-paced development. If you respond to enough emails with your best guess, you're gonna get one wrong eventually, and once in a while that one happens to spook people!

Anyway, tl;dr - see Ammon's top-level reply.
>You haven't actually been poor like that in the US. That isn't a question, it is a statement. I have as have others I know so yes even a few dollars per day can make/break the budget.

I don't know how poor you have been or are. And you don't know how poor I have been either. I'm not going to play oppression olympics with you. I have been homeless, sleeping in ditches and parks before, living off of minimum wage day labor. Even back then, if I needed $2 I simply worked an extra 15 minutes moving drywall at construction sites or whatever. Those who can't work may end up buying snacks with their foodstamp card and hawking them to high schoolers walking to school or something (as I see many homeless do near my house). There are very few people who aren't already covered by medicaid/medicare who are incapable of coming up with $2 / day somehow, and if they are they are the extreme case. Again even _drug addicts_ in my neighborhood, while high out of their minds, somehow manage to come up with $20/day for their fentanyl habit and that doesn't even cover the rest of their necessities.

And as an aside, I'm not buying the argument that being broke somehow makes you more of an expert on how to budget. The poor in this country are notoriously victims of sub-par education which sadly leaves many of them poorly situated to navigate managing their own economic future. If I want budgeting advice I'd much rather ask say a guy who started his own restaurant vs some random broke person on the street.
> I wonder if many of the gender dysphoria issues and related politics we're seeing now have an underlying factor of hormone disruption due to widespread pollution.

It is worth more research into this. Hard to make predictions but having environmental causes underlying some of these trends, at least to a degree, is possible. I think the lower fertility rate among first world nations is also partially tied into endocrine disruptors as well.

It makes sense that these are the type of people Google is forced to hire, or motivated to hire, what with the company's track record of ridiculously expensive unethical behaviour and all the over-the-top harassment claims. Consider also the most recent embarassment with the AI researcher who believed a computer performing pattern matching had feelings and sensations. It seems he is also apparently involved with some bizarre quasi-religious group, calling himself a preacher.

>Should we forbid Catholics for the same reason?

Your answer lies in the distinction between cults and religion. In a nutshell, cults exert control over their members such that they compel them to behave contrary to their own interests.

So the modern, practical answer to that question is: No.

Your average Catholic is no threat and is very likely to be acting in their own interest, free of undue influence.

The Catholic Church, having had nearly two thousand years to brutally weave itself into society world-wide—has all but abandoned the behavior described above—with the exception of its clergy and people involved at the operational level of the church.

Indeed, they've outgrown the practice of using coercion at the level of the individual member, and now wield power as a small nation state with global reach.

>Should we forbid Catholics for the same reason?

If they're formerly or currently involved in any significant way at the operational level of the Church, then you may have an argument in the affirmative there. Albeit, a narrowly-scoped one.

Wondering how significant turnover among Software Sales Reps Is? AE Layoffs?
We are running a live study gauging AE turnover -- How big is it? How much is it costing companies? How long is it taking companies to fill positions? And of course, how much are recent layoffs affecting Sales?

This is "crowdsourced" research... Give to get. As soon as you complete the questionnaire (which takes about 2 mins), we'll show you the latest benchmarks + where your company specifically ranks.

So far, based on early responses, it's looking like AE Turnover LTM is in the mid-30s%... Recent AE Layoffs affecting ~12% of companies... but expecting that last number to go up.

I don't think Wayland, or even GNOME is much of a conspiracy. The people who spearhead these kinds of consolidating efforts(udev, systemd were similar stories) are always going to fall more into the empire-builder category than most people. But it's open-source: to win the category you have to make a public good. So at the end of the process, you have working software and a standard. The standard has to be at least somewhat better for most people, or it falls into the bucket of dead standards.

But Wayland's definitely a big one, touching really old assumptions around Linux desktops. There is plenty to start fights over. I still can't quite use it for all my apps because some stylus apps behave poorly. So I think I'll be in the latecomer camp. This is not a bad thing for me: it just means I've organized my life around using the tech to get a good result now, rather than putting my energy into developing the tech. I was on Windows for the longest time for the same reason.

For a long time I thought that Tesla's headstart would diminish, that eventually legacy automakers would catch up and overtake with their greater economics.

At the time, my wife was fond of heating food in the microwave and I could never get over the fact that the plastic would sometimes get hot enough to soften signalling to me that there were probably chemicals being released as it got hot. I didn't want those chemicals in my food and I was hoping to have kids later so I wanted to try to avoid the possibility that my kids would grow up eating food microwaved in plastic tubs, possibly poisoning them from infancy.

And, most importantly from my own personal history, I hated microwaves since the first time I saw one in a convenience store. Popping a plastic-wrapped sandwich into one to have a hot lunch or heating some beanie-weenies or Dinty Moore Stew was just gross but I saw people do that all day long like it was great. When Mom finally convinced Dad to buy one back in the 70's she would use it because it supposedly saved time on things like baking potatoes or cooking meat. If you grew up back then you would have learned quickly that there is a huge textural difference between a potato baked in a microwave and one baked in an oven or in coals on a fire. Microwaved potatoes caused me to hate microwaves since the potato was not fluffy at all. It was very dense and chunky and hard to melt butter throughout the potato. Meat was an even worse indictment of the technology since it would come out red and uncooked looking even if it was scorching hot. It prefer steak medium well to well done or with a good smoke ring so I have to see that color difference for it to be edible.

The microwave was a personal decision mostly because I knew that if we got rid of it we would use less plastic since no one would use a plastic container in a conventional oven. Eliminate the microwave and the incentive to keep other plastic kitchen things disappears. That's a win for me.

Not quite.

It works based upon the 100% certainty that whatever you are, at some point you will cease to be.

On average, regardless of what you are, you are in the middle of your life or existence (some very high variance here).

In order to generalise it to non-certain events, such as a program crash, you'd need to remove the certainty assumption and rejig the consequent statistics - it might be doable, but you wouldn't end up with something quite so clean and simple.
It is partially true, but this benchmarks force schema. You can't reorganise data for example in wide table or add indices. So it actually does not show you how to use the system to solve this type of problems in a best way possible, but checks unoptimised results as if you never learn and never utilise best practices of the DBMS you choose for production.
This is incisive. I share the view that I could charge more on #2, particularly when businesses are the ones paying rather than individuals. Agree this is probably a pretty small market.

But I’m not sure how to do price differentiation when the scope for product differentiation seems limited (it’s a fixed feature set replicating alt shortcuts). I’ve mainly given discounts to students who write in.

Appreciate the other comment suggesting expanding this beyond Alt shortcuts - that could be one avenue.

AT&T and T-Mobile did not combine, that purchase was (one of the few mergers) blocked by the DOJ under the Obama administration.

T-Mobile did later (2020) buy Sprint, but it was in a far worse position economically than T-Mobile was in 2011 at the time of the attempted AT&T purchase.

It's not the microwaves, it's the tendency for people to use microwaves to heat food in plastic containers. Which is probably a bad thing to do, if you're concerned about the potential for chemicals leaching out of the plastic, and are going to consume the food you just heated.

If you're looking for my opinions, the restriction to catching wild pokemon doesn't really hurt the game. (It's also true that the classic "random battle" mechanic is mostly gone - instead, tall grass and cave tiles that could previously generate random battles now generate pokemon that are visible from the overworld, and you can run into them or avoid them at your own discretion. I happen to like that change, and I believe it's popular generally.)

The change in difficulty level is, in my opinion, bad. What happened is that pokemon now earn half of an opponent's experience value just by being on your team during the battle, and full value if they participate. (Catching a pokemon counts as defeating them.) The older system was that the opponent's experience value was divided evenly among participants while spectators got nothing. So for a battle in which two of your pokemon participate in defeating an enemy pokemon worth 400 experience:

- In generations I through V, your two participating pokemon would earn 200 experience each, for a total of 400 experience.

- In generations VI forward, your two participating pokemon would earn 400 experience each, and your other four pokemon would earn 200 experience each, for a total of 1600 experience.

But this 300% increase in experience earned by your team (250% in the likely case where you only have one participant per enemy) was not accompanied by any increase in enemy levels or in experience required for you to level up, or by a decrease in enemy experience values. You just earn ludicrous amounts of experience and dramatically overlevel everything prior to the elite four, and there's nothing you can do about it. It is not possible for a pokemon on your team to fall behind in levels even if you never use it at all.

As a separate concern, specific battles that were viewed as challenging in the original games tend to be nerfed in the remakes; the notable ones are Whitney in Gold/Silver and Cynthia in Diamond/Pearl.
