> There's nothing wrong with realizing the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

The LHC employs a lot of people working on smart things. CERN gave rise to the world wide web and there are many other innovations in computing, construction, and theory that come from the work being done there.

> The Large Hadron Collider took about a decade to construct, for a total cost of about $4.75 billion. [1]

> Since the opening of Mercedes-Benz Stadium in 2017, the Falcons organization has publicly pegged the cost of the building at $1.5 billion [2]

It's the same order of magnitude of cost as a sports stadium. It's a tiny slice of the worldwide economy.

We don't know where the key discoveries in "theory state space" are, so we continue to search. Finding the right evidence or surprises could lead to rapid changes in how we think and view the universe.

I'm sure some medieval people must have found scientific tinkerers wasteful as well.

Diversification of investment is good. It's not like all research dollars are going to high energy physics.

Beren and Luthien would make a fantastic tale as well.

Disguising themselves as a vampire and a werewolf to steal a Silmaril from Morgoth in the pits of Angband? Makes the quest of Mt Doom look like a picnic. Pity we'll never see it
We're talking about a hypothetical future where total gasoline consumption is trending down. In that world, bitumen is no longer a waste product, and starts having to carry the price of extraction and pipeline cost. That would make new highways much more expensive.

The likelihood and timeframe of that future is a separate issue, and I'm not holding my breath. Even if Europe really does ban new ICEs in the the 2030s, there's a long tail to to it.
Up until 2018, I used to joke that "Youtube is CEO-less." There were articles bemoaning Youtube's toxicity, but they never contained the word 'Wojcicki'.

These days, the press sometimes – though still not often – mentions her name.
But what did you say beyond other than what I commented on? The main thrust of your comment is that super hero movies are boring because you know they won't die and will probably win. Does that make detective book bad because the protagonist usually solves the case? Does it make rom-coms bad because the main couple usually end up together?
Try having nonstandard political views. Then, not only do you have to follow the major news sources, you also have to deeply research every single story so that you can defend yourself against the latest accusation of being a whatever-ist that today's papers are trying to slander you as
> Isn't this how the system is designed to work? And if that's not desired, why not change the system instead? "The SCOTUS gets to make the rules" only works about half of the time, and it seems mostly like a matter of dumb luck as for when it does and doesn't.

Yes, this is how the system is designed to work. It's a bad system, but the system cannot be fundamentally changed in an environment much short of political unanimity. The biggest changes to the system only came after a civil war.

No system is perfect. The founding fathers did as good a job as they could at the time, but no system can work well without fundamental rethinking forever. Unfortunately, the compromises (i.e. slavery) that lead to the constitution are no longer relevant, but we are left with a system that is difficult to change specifically to protect those compromises.

> Using the courts to enforce uncodified abortion rights is like using a shoe to beat a nail in; it's pointlessly brutal, and makes a mockery of the rule of law. I get that it may be expedient for a specific purpose, but why do people celebrate it as a good system in the abstract?

It's not a good system, and people don't celebrate it as such. Pretty much everyone recognizes that lifetime appointments of un-elected individuals to the supreme court has serious drawbacks. But it's the only way to preserve rights within the current system, and people would prefer that to another civil war.

Agreed more about Tom Bombadil would have been the way to go. Can't believe he didn't make the cut. Not sure how they managed to do that.

If this was built as if it was MCU they would have had a small cameo then a full movie on Tom Bombadil.
Keeping secrets in environmental variables has always seemed dodgy to me. Unless specifically cleared, they get inherited by all child processes. Maybe there are never any child processes in your application, or that could be desired behavior in some circumstances, but generally it seems like asking for trouble.
In their balance sheet, it is part of their assets. Perhaps the money is there, perhaps it is not.

However the fact is, if they are going the bankruptcy route and have to sell/distribute their existing asset, then this asset is up for grab in the order that people have the right to the asset. This isn't an asset protected for the customers only. So while there might be money left, it doesn't mean I twill end up in the hands of the customers as they are the last one in line to get proceeds back.

If really the money was under the customer's name, "on their behalf", then it wouldn't be an asset under the balance sheet. It would not have been theirs.
The fact that it doesn't need to change is because it is under the aegis of YC. Anyone else doing the same thing would have been long relegated to the dustbin of irrelevance. Imagine if one day Warren Buffet offers a co-investment opportunity in a new hedge fund, but you will have to physically fly to Panama and manually file the paperwork by hand to participate. Many people would still do it, not because they are willing to accept poor service, but because of the authority who is running the show.
Jobs didn't want apps on the iPhone at all and later insisted on having the App Store being the only way to distribute apps.

The only reason why we attribute today's Apple as "greedy" and not Jobs-era Apple as such is because you have fonder memories of him. Also, Jobs was a master of the reality distortion field and could explain things easier than today's Apple could. But none of that changes whether or not locked down devices are anticompetitive or not, just whether or not Apple's own fans are complaining about it.

Furthermore, there are pro-consumer justifications for Apple's uncompetitive behavior. In fact, that's Apple's whole defense against the antitrust inquiries it faces: the digital warlord's walled garden is for the protection of its serfs, and if the serfs don't like it they can surrender all their property and swear fealty to another digital warlord.
>Come on, you really wanna the high road here?

I wasn't taking the high road. It was not necessary nor conducive to good discussion for you to end your comment the way you did.

No, it was not.
Even in cities that do not call out grass, combination of ordinances make grass the easiest and most economical, one could not replace it with say concrete.

These are set in a variety of zoning, building, and maintenance ordinances

For your "native garden" depending on your meaning could be banned because the city classifies all "unmaintained plants" to be weeds in violation of the ordinance.

Various zoning and building codes outline ground coverings for run off, and flood control purposes.

Then you have separate regulations about shrubs and trees,

All of these combined make grass the easiest way to comply with the government even if the government does to implicitly require grass
Traditionally query optimizers are focused on producing good and not disastrous plans. Not necessarily the best plan. This is the role of a query optimizer: do decently well and don't royally screw up. What makes optimizers to screw up is cardinality misestimations which leads to the wrong join order or wrong join types (nested loop join thinking that a subresult in a query plan is 3 rows where in reality it's 1M).

Optimizing physical layout presents new challenges:

- it takes time to build those layouts and consumes resources. nothing like adding a load to a database that's already struggling to keep up with the load :)

- you don't know what you are going to break

With all that said that's the future and the industry has to figure it out.
The lack of comment reply notifications is a feature not a bug. It places some natural limits on the lengths of discussions.
Why should we assume that Middle Earth genetics work anything like normal Earth genetics?

Hm, the language does not enforce it, but you _can_ separate things neatly for sure

I may have missed something, though, are you thinking of something other than asserting and retracting?
I don’t think it’s going to be a problem, if anything, public attention is something they have to fight for instead of being a burden.

Tom Holland, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Zendaya, for example, are in their twenties, hugely popular, even among millenials, and probably they will be still popular in twenty years
Lots of good advice here. Three things I haven't see.

1) At the age of two weeks start sticking your tongue out at your newborn while making eye contact. Within about a week the newborn will very likely start sticking its tongue back. Communication has started.

2) Don't sweat the kid's likes and dislikes in food. A child's taste buds are very different than an adults. Having said that, if you can get them started on peanut butter you've won half the battle. Cheap, nutritious and tasty for most kids.... watch out for allergies of course.

3) Unless it's easy, don't try potty training until the child is about three years old. Just use diapers up til then. Save both parties at lot of needless stress.
definitely sounds like webpack to me
My point is that properly criticizing a CEO is exhausting so it is rarely done properly.

CEO is a very general job role. I dont understand your point with the painters. That would be an operations issue, so I actually wouldnt criticize the CEO of the painting company at all for it. thanks to him/her, I was able to contact a painting company, they showed up, they painted the apartment, and left. I would think the operations team (the painters) deserve to be fired and held accountable for claiming they know how to paint a room when they clearly didn't. Nothing about their job is general or consists of trade-offs. If I said "you only have 10 minutes to paint the room and then leave" then yeah, it might come out like shit and the "excuses" would be valid. which is the kind of time pressure CEO's are often under with respect to things they are actually doing on a day-to-day basis.

i would hold the CEO responsible with respect to resolving the issue and refunding me, etc, since the CEO role is to be responsible for the outcomes of the company.. but he's not the one painting the room. Just like with any company, the CEO does not literally run the company. If service is poor, it is usually because people are finding their way past hiring filters to get jobs they aren't qualified for. Let's not forget that people everywhere are often advised to lie their way into employment, fake it till you make it, baffle them with bullshit, reword your resume to sound more impressive, etc. These people line the mechanisms that CEO's use to accomplish anything at any company.

Of course, the CEO position is no exception to this and I am not saying it is literally impossible to build a case against a CEO. I am saying it needs to fully encompass the position or else you're likely assigning criticism to the CEO for some culmination of lower level operational incompetence that they simply failed to overcome. If a director over-promises to the CEO and the CEO signs off on the basis of trust with the director, then when the bar is not met later of course the CEO will be held responsible but the reality of fault sits with the director, or maybe a subordinate to the director who convinced the director that the over-promise was doable. You then have to get into the weeds of whether or not there were signs the CEO should have seen as to not trust the director, or if they had reason to overrule the directors approach, etc. you then have to do similar things across all areas of the company to derive a valid criticism that the CEO is the common denominator in it all.

Leadership is significantly harder to criticize appropriately than operations. Personally, I would like to stop reading meaningless criticisms from people who want to complain and be heard but dont want to do the work necessary to make a valid complaint.

This is a bullshit reason based on jealousy, not reason.

This is the real reason it’s fair to be very critical of their maneuvers.
They're often terrible at optimizing query plans, especially when there's no index, since the index provides data about the data (cardinality, for example) into the query optimizer.
Okay. Let me be more specific.

I didn’t “grapple with the issue”. I had a panic attack and flashbacks. I dreaded the next session for two weeks.

Vampires are unique in having a single failed throw causing a character to permanently lose their agency and be under the direct mental control of a NPC. In this case, I was told to attack the rest of the party.

I had a psychotic break where this exact thing happened to me. I got to watch myself hurt people I cared about. There are very close relationships that were destroyed. Some I will never be able to repair.

Should I have said something? Yes. But I didn’t want to kicked out of the game.

As far as being more resilient, I’m not. If I had known vampires could do that, I would have been fine. Now? If this happens to a character in another game, I will have to leave the game. Retconning wouldn’t help.

I’ll heal in time. Might take a few months, but it may take years before I handle the situation again.

Sometimes these tangentially-related search results help people discover new things they would've otherwise missed out on. I believe striking a balance between recommendations and to-the-point results is necessary.
This is nothing more than propaganda pretending to be a history lesson.

The parallels cited in the article are hand picked to fit their “omg fascism in the US is totally real you guys” narrative.

But back to Argentina. In reality, their fall is much more complicated and spread over a long period. But, if you had to simplify it could be described as a terrible cycle of unchecked power and corruption.

Obviously films can be produced without aiming to enter the Chinese market, but the highest budgets will go to the films which can, and they'll have higher marketing budgets and so on.
Given the depth of their pockets, Meta doesn’t need to change its strategy urgently, though. It also is easily changed. The article also doesn’t mention quality differences between what Meta can offer and what Apple supposedly will offer, so if Apple enters the market at a higher price point, making a profit on sales, what stops Meta from rising their prices to match Apple’s and stop losing money on their product?

The article between the lines seems to assume Apple’s product will be (much) better than Meta’s, that it will take the high end of the market, and leave little room for profit for other parties.
> If this instance of 'statistically close' corresponds very closely to what humans perceive as 'semantically close', we perceive this as parroting.

Could it be that with scaling the statistical model can become good enough for semantics? Quantity has a quality all its own / The map is the territory.

I believe we're seeing emergence from low level statistical patterns to semantics, especially in GPT-3, DALL-E and AlphaGo.
One of the major benefits of ephemeral tokens is that they become less attractive to put into the code, and more attractive to put in a config file/vault that's easier to update and keep secret. This in itself is useful because it makes it less likely that it will be in some source file someone shows, or pushed to some remote repo that at some point has permissions allowed so people can see it.

While Tolkien certainly has plenty of material that could be filmed, most of it seems to be in short story format where each story would be an hour or two. Amazon is assuredly looking for another Game of Thrones and I don't think they can get that from Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales or Children of Hurin.
Obviously it's not anyone who is willing to pay for maintenance of the X server and all the X libraries. If those stagnate and become broken, then they will likely remove the X backend.

Human anatomy is actually surprisingly variable and there is, of course, trauma - so novel challenges.

The task is also not necessarily closed at the start, i.e., target of surgery is established during the procedure and might evolve.

So, I'd take the other side of that bet for surgery as a whole.
Well good thing that some of the cryptographers that created Falcon [0][1] (the ones who developed Algorand) for post-quantum cryptography for digital signatures use cases is considered to be 'standardised' as such.

This tells me that Algorand is one of the more serious blockchain projects out there with top cryptographers as evidenced by Falcon.

OMG YES!

As I age, Dark Mode is the one thing saving my eyes on many of the sites I regularly frequent... Actually, I think reading bright monitors has irreversibly damaged my vision a lot over time.

I shouldn't have to use a browser plug-in to manually tweak CSS on sites like old Reddit FFS, it's really annoying to constantly have to view painfully bright sites online. It's a relatively easy option that all sites (that make money) should implement STAT.
> Once you know what is happening, even those crazy states you can find yourself in really are not that hard.

I think we're saying the same thing. Once you know how Git works, it's easy. But can you figure out "how Git works" by using a handful of commands like git add, git commit and git push?

This budget feels very out of whack with what we have seen of the production. No big names either in front of or behind the camera. All the recognizable credits are at the producer level, and some of those are of dubious reputation. I don't want to disparage unknown actors and crew members, but it seems awfully risky to expect them to carry this show without any veterans to rally around. I guess the logic Amazon is using is that LotR's brand is so strong it doesn't need star power, or experience, or anything else to carry it besides apparently a huge pile of money. But this seems like a really, really bold direction for a project when Amazon is still very new to producing media and they have yet to produce a single unqualified hit.
It wasn't horrible because I did something about it. It wasn't a tragedy.

I am in fact practicing (EDIT: this came out wrong, I meant attempting) clarity and concision. So listening to other people's tragedies and what they went through--which always comes out rant-like--is helping me tell my piece the right way, with absolute adhesion to the truth.

Partly that's a scam, they show you a cartoon of a madman and tell you "that's why he's mad, sweating, screaming, shaking, accusing, because he's stupid" then after that inb4, that poisoning of the well, nobody respects that stereotype until it's you who's mad, sweating, screaming, shaking, accusing, and being called stupid. And then it's too late. First they came for the Jews right? Wrong, first they came for the madmen, and perfected their extermination techniques with them, and nobody said anything, nobody visited them. And then they came for the Jews, and then everybody else. I remember it starting with the Jews, in Holocaust museums it starts with communists, in America it starts with Jews sometimes and Socialists other times, it changes all the time. But it never ever starts with the mad (Although Communist is close enough, they were thoroughly accused of being mad, Salvador Allende did medical research on the subject to vindicate them).

Putting it here in full, best I can do:

Yeah, I'm lumping them together because that's the way they're talked about in the media and I'm not knowledgeable enough to know off the top of my head what the exact distribution of which pollutant is. And I'm almost certain that if the debate were rational, there'd be some way to find out which pollution is the most harmful/least expensive to avoid, and thus come up with rational prioritization in policy.

That's why this whole pseudo-pastoral "just-hard-working-folk" shtick combined with fake surprise and outrage is so damaging: nobody is arguing for abolishing agriculture; everybody knows it's simply necessary - oh, and lucrative. But policy on this hot-button issue isn't even remotely based on science; it's based on politics, which in turn is based on whatever riles people up - so farmers are trying to portray this as some kind of evil bureacrats vs. the earth of the land, and nobody is talking about (at least not with any popular reach) why this is even a problem, what to do about it, etc etc etc.
