And I'm saying you're completely armchairing this analysis because you literally don't know any of these details.

Are you suggesting a global manufacturer like Catepillar run it's global financial ledger on a no-code platform? Which implies building the code for it and then maintaining it?

> It seems you're trying to nail down an absolute

In fact, I'm not. The only absolute I'm trying to nail down is "you need to do a buy vs build, rent vs own assessment and make the decision there, neither one is unilaterally true without that assessment". Anyone trying to speculate about budgets in the $100M+ space is just heresay.
I think the boot up audio of the key presses and the drive's stepper hit me harder than the lemmings. But I am impressed with the translation.
More or less as in the film BUT they were eager to leave the Earth, and they only needed to heed their oath. They do so in a side battle (near Osgiliath IIRC) and, immediately, Aragorn sets them free.

But they are not “an army at the ser ice of Aragorn”. They just want to be liberated and to do so, they fulfill the promise they broke. They are not obligated to more (and Aragorn has no power to keep them “here”), much less to make them obey him.
Famous for Stargate Atlantis? He was great in that but not well known.
I'm assuming you're neurotypical and that represents a gulf between our understanding of the subjective mental machinery between ourselves.
> Its weird to have companies say they're moving from Mainframes to the Cloud.

Ever work for a company with their own datacenters that were NOT cutting edge? The work to provision resources can be so painful that it severely inhibits prototyping. Being able to spin up resources in seconds with some API calls is very valuable.
I could have sworn I read about this exact thing in Cory Doctorow's novel Little Brother
The big difference from the comics, of course, is that actors actually get older.
I got a 5.7 but can have any woman I desire in real life, so...
Nah, that sounds too conspiratorial. Martin by now should have enough money to basically not have to think of money ever again in his life, especially given his relatively modest lifestyle. It's not mental health issues, it's just he seems not to be very interested in finishing them up anymore. Writing 8th book is not gonna help if he has trouble mustering his creative juices to finish the sixth.
It's a setback from the sidewalk they are violating and have been doing for close to 40 years.
Thanks for the clarification, this does make things a lot more clear.

This makes me wonder if there's a good way to help others wake up to the risk.

When I chat with friends about Facebook, they acknowledge that they have too much data, and do seem concerned / occasionally disturbed by how much these platforms know about them, but it seems difficult for them to synthesize an understanding of actual risk / potential negative outcome.

For awhile, I thought that someone should create a tool/portal/app that would use data from social networks / data brokers / etc. to scare the shit out of people and help them realize how vulnerable they are. But the existence of such a tool would also seem to make the problem worse, especially if it did not have the intended effect (to get people off of these networks).

I'm now starting to think that someone needs to create a "Dieting App" for social media users. Something that would help explain and demonstrate the scary state of privacy when using these apps. Not unlike the "Noom" (have not used this before, not an endorsement) approach to dieting.

I don't see a way to break these addictions without somehow terrifying the user. That can either happen voluntarily, by willingly exploring the downsides (and this is where some kind of curriculum would be beneficial), or unwillingly, after real people are impacted by real overreach after it's too late.
Or a real diverse series based on a diverse book series which never spent a dime on reminding everyone how diverse they are. Eg The Expanse.
I wish you the best, but having looked into these topics when I was interested in RVs a few years ago, I think there's no market for your proposal because the market is already well served by (at the higher end) composting and incinerating toilets, which are clearly more palatable, and, at the lower end, just putting kitty litter in a bucket with an optional toilet cover, which you can already do for nearly free. I think most people who really wanted a waterless toilet would already fall into one of those two camps (cheap and crummy or expensive and fancy) leaving little room for your product, which would be both more expensive than just putting kitty litter in a bucket, yet not really all that much more palatable, since you still have to dispose of the used material, which is really the essential "annoying" part that would make one want a fancier option.

You are forced to figure out how to deliver enough value to be clearly better than shitting in a bucket, yet not much more expensive, to avoid competing with composting or incinerating toilets. I wonder if you actually might do better starting from a composting design and trying to improve it to make it more cost effective.

Sorry for the pessimism, just some things to think about! Maybe there is a path through, wish you the best.
Atlanta and Barry both have small director pools, being mostly Hiro Murai and the series star/creator. Even those benefit from being able to switch for tonal benefit.

To some extent I think Louie set the precedent there, as CK was given complete creative control. Comedians were asking for "the Louis deal". Glover (and Ansari) seemed to get it, and both had the sense to hire other talented people. Louie (the show) suffers from its self-indulgence to the point it can't be rated that highly, where Atlanta maybe mostly avoids that fate.
Right, that's totally what I meant; I totally don't just ignore that warning and reapply my patch if I ever accidentally run grub-mkconfig after initial install ;)

In any case, something to the effect of

root (hd0,1)
kernel /tinycore/vmlinuz tce=sda1/tinycore/tce vga=794
initrd /tinycore/core.gz

in GRUB's shell should do the trick no matter what might lurk in grub.cfg.
I'd actually think a surgery simulator is more difficult than a space one.

Kind of like the difference between a kebel space program and an ultra realistic physics and material simulator.

I'd be shocked if there wasn't at least a few "games" to practice dexterity and perform device diagnostics.
I suppose there's that... I guess if that's what progress looks like in the US right now then we may be doomed without a serious course correction.
> If you don't have someone watching out for you that really does care for you, you're going to be treated poorly. Especially if you develop any mental problems in your old age.

Kids won't always do this. In fact it's possible for kids to be the ones treating you poorly in your old age, and it happens more often than people like to admit.

> You don't have to have kiddos, but you do have to have someone out there nearby who really will get out of bed at 3am for the third time this month to come help you when you're blind and demented to physically lift you up and wipe your incontinence off.

Again, you're making a huge assumption that if you have kids, they will be caring. Maybe you've never seen people whose kids are nasty or simply uncaring, but anybody who has kids is making that gamble.
modern sports forces athletes to push themselves as far as possible, including minutiae like this.
> And it's worth noting that rights not explicitly enumerated in the constitution are still rights protected by the constitution. The current SC just disagrees with the previous SC's decision on what those un-enumerated rights are.

I think your phrasing there is awkward. Which rights? All imaginable ones? (you probably should have said "some rights" to block this inprepretation) Rights with specific kinds of historical precedence? Novel rights "our" faction wishes were there and that "our" judges can read into it through deliberate effort? Reading novel rights into the constitution is the kind of backdoor amendment I was referring to.

> All that was being contested was a state's ability to limit abortions beyond the first trimester (something commonly allowed as part of the "balance" between states rights and women's rights built upon RvW).

No, I don't think that's actually what happened. IIRC, it could have chosen to resolve it that way, but the parties turned the case into a challenge about Roe v. Wade itself in their arguments, which gave an opening for a broader ruling.
In addition to everything the others mentioned already, anything that's not a web browser that might at some point show NSFW content. Applications like Discord and Tumblr been forced to make ux-degrading changes to comply with this Victorian-era prudishness.

(and before you mention an application you know of that doesn't have this problem, remember that Apple's enforcement and reading of the rules compares unfavorably with nuclear particle decay)
That's a good analogue, maybe the OP will find some wisdom in what you wrote. Personally though, after reading her responses, I think she's just here to argue. Maybe a cat would be a better option after all :)

"Lost" is also a strong contender there. Yes, I am still disappointed about that.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the keyword "either" and Haskell types, but I'm otherwise clueless. Every time I look at Haskell I run the other way.
Yikes! This kind of thing will get you banned on HN. I'm not going to ban you right now because I didn't see other examples of it when I skimmed through your history just now, and I did see other comments that were good HN posts. But please don't do it again, regardless of how wrong or bad some other comment is or you feel it is.

They cannot be killed but their aim is to abandon Earth, and they only need Aragorn to liberate them after they have fulfilled their oath. Not that Aragorn has true power over them. He has only the power to set them free, and they obey because that is the way to freedom.
“Paying for another company’s profit margin as well”

All transactions, no matter if in the cloud or on prem, go towards another company’s profit margin.
Many are wondering if this is by design. Generate a crisis and then solve the problem with an approach that gives you what you want. Force the little people to eat bugs and only fly on planes rarely. Tie your wallet and passport to what you buy, where you go etc and fence them in.
I believe the difference is

"Everyone will be working highest paid jobs" vs "Everyone can have highest paid jobs (if they put effort)"

You can't make people go for highest paid jobs, but you can definitely let them decide if they're interested in trying to get them.
That's a nice comforting story to believe in. I hope for you it's
true. Over here the bailouts were a massive transfer of public to
private wealth that led to a decade of "austerity", closed hospitals,
collapsed pension schemes and general misery for the poorest people in
society.

Can you give some examples? I'm re-watching Westworld from the beginning now because I find most of what's out there to be boring
Agree with Jackson being terrible to even have on for consulting due to what he did to The Hobbit. I wasn’t happy with what he did with some key scenes in LOTR either. I feel the main reason he was left out though is because there might be animosity between him and the Tolkien family in terms of art direction.
You don’t have to be the market majority for your actions to be anti-competitive.
Apple's App store revenue is very substantial and likely has very low overall costs and microscopic per-unit costs relative to a hardware business like iPhone or Mac. Apple paid out $45 billion to developers in 2020 with $64 billion gross, which means they had as high as $19 billion in revenue from the app store commission alone.[1]

Unfortunately Apple doesn't break out profit per category but we know that their net income for 2020 was $58 billion [2]. As far as I'm aware we don't know operating costs for the App store, but I think its fair to say that the portion of the ~$19 billion that is profit is far from being "peanuts".

FWIW, most rights you and I have are not codified in the constitution. That doesn't mean those rights don't exist. This whole debacle is two SCOTUS arguing over whether privacy, and thus bodily autonomy, is one of those rights.

Ultimately the constitution is a, relative to the case law and interpretations the SCOTUS has generated from it, miniscule document.
I think we should solve autonomous driving before jumping multiple steps to autonomous surgery. There are many low hanging fruit in the world of automation; automated surgery is not one of them.
Most ranchland is ill-suited to other uses.
What's the logic here - is it just agribusiness maximizing profit in the short-medium term with the expectation of writing it off and moving production elsewhere once the point of collapse arrives?
He can easily hop ship wherever he wants given the major impact he's landed in PulseAudio, Systemd and elsewhere. His design decisions have certainly been controversial but his impact is certainly agreed upon.
> I personally expect racism being a big part of the show that will need to be fought.

I agree that this would be extremely hamfisted. Especially considering the books already have some metaphors for racism like the strained relationship between elves and dwarves. However, I also think this kind of a thing is just a symptom of bad writing - not some woke conspiracy.
oh yeah, and snow reflects light off the ground. It's much brighter outside after coverage by snowfall.
Houses in AZ use less energy on average than other states: https://www.eia.gov/consumption/residential/reports/2009/sta...

And in aggregate, cities in warm climates are more sustainable than in cold:
https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/8/1/014...

>> This would require a cultural shift.

Agreed. Or people can move to places like AZ or NV where lawns are the exception.

>> I would never in a million years live in the south west US

Agreed. I like the PNW too much to move. But my argument here is just letting people do what they want (move to warm deserts) is a net benefit to society.
> Everything is still the same except the color of the guys skin.

That's exactly what people mean when they say wokesters use people's cultures as skins, with no content.

If you wanted to add African representation, let's say Zulu, you'd add something specific to Zulu culture: people, language, songs, stories, etc. But instead they just change some skin colours in an existing story.

That's not representation, that's just skin.
It will play as usual, with huge fines.
They go into that. Apparently your body heat would reduce the stiffness.
I’d claim that there’s so much familiarity and energy directed towards the development and marketing of these actors that it’s probably tough to establish the next generation.
I think they are saying the earliest extant minerals that crystalized on Earth are zircons that formed within the first 100 my of the planet's formation. The minerals he is talking about show up here on meteorites from elsewhere in the solar systems and predate the planetary nebulae by billions of years.

Not the GP but my fiance is also an OB and is also qualified on robotic surgeries. Robotic candidates are typically more difficult cases than more traditional surgeries, so even an equal prevalence of positive outcomes would indicate that robotic surgeries are worth the additional training/time/expense/etc.

I think it'd be pretty hard to do a true apples-to-apples comparison. You'd want to find traditional surgeries that were complex enough that robotic surgery would be indicated, yet for some reason they went ahead with traditional surgery anyway. Almost by definition this would push you more toward emergent surgeries which have worse outcomes overall given their acute nature. You could probably find areas where transfer to a facility with a robot would take too long but you're bringing in a lot of other confounding variables (comparing robotic surgeries at a well funded academic institute with lots of residents and fellows to a small poorly staffed hospital in the sticks, for example).
> Do/did you use other VCSes? I did. ClearCase, CVS, SVN, Mercurial. It's a real horror (excluding later) to deal with.

I did, plus MS SourceSafe, Team Foundation Source Control and Bazaar.

I don't see the problem with SVN and Mercurial. If you have merge conflicts, no tool is going to solve that.

If you love git so much, try to do a squash merge to the main, then do some other changes in your branch, and try to merge again. Have fun solving all the merge conflicts that actually shouldn't be there.

Like I said, SVN and Mercurial are fine too. I don't see any reason why git would magically solve some merge conflict that SVN or Mercurial is not able to.
Plants turn CO2 into proteins and sugars. One of two things happens. Either the cattle eat the plants and process them
or the plants rot and produce CO2 and Methane which quickly becomes CO2.

Animals eat the plant some of the CO2 is stored as fat and protein. The remainder is exuded in the form of cowshit and farts. The cowshit goes back to the soil and into plants. The Methane produced quickly becomes CO2 which is, AGAIN, used by the plants to produce plant growth. How is a single atom of carbon actually created in any of this? Sure ,if animal numbers suddenly expand rapidly, you get a very very minute increase in Methane levels. The effect is indiscernible in reality.
I had a very VERY short lived manager at one point that immediately agreed to a request from another manager that violated the laws of physics and said we could do it (SLO including FTL latency multiregion cloud related).

Sometimes I still think about this.
It originates from publishers. When Amazon was pressuring all the publishers to sell cheaper e-book versions for their Kindle, they were aggressively cutting prices to win consumers from competition. They'd then use their classic "70% of your purchases come through us, so lower your prices for Amazon or we will cut you from our store" to get more profits. The publishers obviously hated this, and especially seeing the brand damage of their brand new flagship type books on sale since it made them seem like they were in the bargain bin for not selling well. Since Amazon was a reseller, they could do whatever they wanted with the pricing.

Apple came in as a "savior" for the publishers and said that the publishers can set their own prices and take as much profit as they wanted... just as long as Apple got 30%. This 30% originally came from the music publishing industry (where they did set the price themselves, remember $0.99 songs?), went through books and now has been legacy'd onto apps. If nothing changes here it'll probably exist for metaverse stuff if they go there.
I love this just for these three rules:

> Allow users to install apps from third-party app stores and sideload directly from the internet.

> Allow developers to offer third-party payment systems in apps and promote offers outside the gatekeeper's platforms.

> Ensure that all apps are uninstallable and give users the ability to unsubscribe from core platform services under similar conditions to subscription.

and restriction on this behavior:

> Require app developers to use certain services or frameworks, including browser engines, payment systems, and identity providers, to be listed in app stores.
I opened the article just to check and you're right. This is A+, top-tier stuff. Sets a standard for many other technical articles.
That implies that UBI is agreed upon all around the world, which it isn't.

"...we could just set a ceiling on carbon emissions..." that already exists and those ceilings aren't honoured by manufacturing-heavy regions around the world, as there is no way to enforce any sort of responsibility. Also consider that most tech companies are moving to carbon neutrality.

"...set a living wage of $20/hr ..."...where exactly? Worldwide? NA only? Any consideration for inflation? Perhaps you got an expalanation for those who are working skilled jobs and are currently earning 20 USD per hour on why someone who works a less skilled job should suddenly earn the same amount? Worlds history says that trying to equalize everyones skills leads to skilled workers looking for greener pastures.

"...make companies directly responsible for paying the shortfall that the government makes up in welfare payments."...so making companies responsible for governments decisions in giving away money to recipients that might not even be related to the industries the companies are operating in?

"...create a national debt tax, where any cost overruns would fall on the companies who lobbied most." that's...not how that works.

"...to immediately put cash in people's pockets and incentivize automation instead of the daily grind." kinda amusing how it goes right after "...starve the beast of multinational corporations so that they can't overtake world governments." considering that many of those boogeyman corporations are the ones working on automation and...employing highly skilled researchers, engineers and blue collar workers.
Funny you should say that. In another post I compared sitting congressmen to convicted felons

- 440 images of congressmen

- 1,756 mugshots

- 10 mismatches (?) with 70+% certainty

The highest was 86%, but to be fair, I wouldn't be able to tell you confidently for all of them that the convicts aren't the same person. And under 80% should be suspect anyway. It's just that you need to use the right statistical methods when comparing a person to a large pool because you'll have spurious matches.

Isn't that just picking one aspect at the omission of another? In Canada, our charts show a huge disparity in deaths between the vaccinated and the non-vaccinated. It is pretty unmistakable - small bump among the vaccinated, huge mountain among the unvaccinated.

We've known for a long time now that even vaccinated people may still get/spread Covid. That doesn't suggest that one should ignore the death tolls.
