You've put more confidence in your statement than the scientific consensus allows.

A brain microbiome is hotly debated, no concrete proof (yet?). I personally also have a hard time believing in a healthy bacterial blood microbiota, but it's also proposed.
I think for a time there will be a lot of anger taken out on these driverless cars if they ever actually come to fruition. People are going to see these corporate ghost cars riding around without passengers and take out their frustrations on them because it's no longer someone's personal car it's a souless robot.
My tbought are limited to Buddha's teachings only.

SEAns can live their life as they see fit, they just shouldn’t demand that everyone conform to their version.

> occludes many features of the tradition on the ground, such as ritual, devotion, and exorcism, that are actually more central to many Buddhists’ lives than abstract doctrines.

Same goes here. Just because hundreds of thousands of people are practising Buddhism in one way, that doesn't become the only way or the actual way.

They shouldn’t want conformation from white western buddhists. That's what this Chen person is demanding.

If white western buddhists want to draw from Dhammapada and Buddha's teachings only, and want to completely ignore what SEAns do on the ground, then that's fine.

Again, please stop treating what actual Buddhism is in the lense of anthropology.

Treat it as a Philosophy like it was originally intended by the Buddha and fellows like Ashvaghosa, Buddhaghosa, Nagarjuna, etc.

Please do not let the SEAns determine what actual Buddhism is.

I have seen and studied Buddhism in the context of Indian philosophy, and it matches the white buddhist version (like Robert Wright) far more than the worshipping, thiestic SEAns.

Please study some Buddhism. And read debates of Nagarjuna (you need some level of rigor, experience in STEM/logic, to get them).

When you read the logics of Buddhists versus Nyaya and Nyaya-Vaisheshika, you will start to get how right western buddhists are.

Theistic, worshipping, candle-lighting Buddhists of SEA are nothing like what these guys were.

What SEAns practice as Buddhism is no more actual Buddhism than the white western Mindfulness guys.

You are so out of depth.
Imagine being paid to do a single job - keep inflation under control - and then being so horribly wrong that you conclude a year ago that inflation was transitory.
General aviation is expensive certainly and for a select few very wealthy individuals. I call it cheap because there is a way to solve it, but owners of small planes are choosing not to do so (and they're not compelled to do so despite the known externalities of their outdated machinery).

Maintaining a beautiful car from the days of the Cold War is also not cheap, but it can be retrofitted to pass emissions tests. If you don't, you can't legally drive it. I don't see why the same doesn't apply to aircraft.

I've always interpreted 422 to fit this case: a well-formed request that cannot be processed due to the content in the payload.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/422
The problem with biofuels in general is that they're always sold as "from byproducts". But of course as soon as you set up a market for fuel it becomes a product in its own right. So they tend to drive the conversion of natural habitat into land managed like agricultural land, which has all the same problems as normal agriculture (habitat destruction, use of ecosystem-destroying pesticides, pollution from fertilizer runoff, soil erosion, etc.) and it's not even producing food. Land usage for food crops (destruction of tropical rainforest habitat for soy and palm oil, destruction of atlantic rainforest for sheep farming, etc.) is already contributing to a rate of species lost three orders of magnitude higher than the expected background rate. And there's a limit to how much we can eat; the amount we can burn as fuel is almost unlimited.

"Sustainable" solutions that incentivise turning over more land to agriculture are nothing of the sort. And it's really the incentives that matter more than whether the initial prototypes are using existing byproducts.
I do like that this is generating interest and optimism for science again, yet I have yet to hear a good answer on what new insight we can expect from the lifetime of the telescope. Does someone have a good list of questions we're hoping to get better answers for?

At this point I like it even for just brightening the news cycle anyway.
Wonder if the Fed will start paying for solar and heat pumps to help curb inflation /s
Agreed. Even taking into account that this is one parties biased arguments on the matter, when you read the agreement, and read Musks filings in terms of SEC complaints and withdrawal, and combine that with Musks tweets (which hilariously Twitter doesn't have to go through discovery to get access to) it all adds up to a pretty straightforward argument in my opinion. Obviously anything can happen in court, but I would be extremely interested to see what the official line of defense will look like.

This is a problem on low memory devices - the page gets forced to refresh because the system ran out of RAM. The iPhone 13 only has 4GB of RAM, and with many apps requiring 2+GB, it is frequent a web page can't stay loaded in the background.

Most android devices have 8GB plus RAM, so shouldn't hit that issue, although it still happens on very low end devices.

Thinking you can't time the markets is a fallacious story that buy and hold investors believe in. It may be beneficial, as many tend to sell low and buy high, but it's nothing further from the truth for me.
>>I live in the UK, a country that hasn't been able to feed itself using only its own produce for centuries

From the past few centuries, Britain has been doing just fine colonising bulk of the world and taking their resources.

Why would that be a measure of "monetary inflation." Shouldn't such a metric actually measure, you know, money?
I remember CP/M with fondness. My father gave me an Osborne 1 for my first computer when I was 12 (41 years ago). It came with CBASIC2 as well as MBasic, and I managed to find a Lisp (I forget what flavor). To put the Osborne 1 in perspective, the stats:

* 64kb memory (yes that's kilobytes)

* 2 5 1/4 floppy disks

* No hard disk

* 5" monochrome green screen monitor

* 4 MHz CPU

* 37 watt power supply

* weighed ~25 pounds
What about people who think that patents on food crops are a bad idea for reasons unrelated to immediate health problems?

I can think the world's IT running on Windows, or all social media belonging to Facebook, or all video paying rent to a cabal of patent holders is a bad thing without those having immediate, terminal effects (I do think they have long term ill effects, some of which we've already seen, but it would probably be hard to prove with science)
> Here's the number to pay attention to. CPI increases are accelerating

This by itself is not surprising. The fed has a target of 2% inflation which means that even in the best case, CPI will by an exponential that gains 2% per year.
> Unity has been in a rocky place for a while now (straddling the line between what it is and what it wants to be)

Yeah, they tried to compete with Unreal for some reason, and of course they lost. And when doing so they made the engine worse for small creators. For example it got a lot slower after they changed the asset database in the 2019.3 version, it feels horrible to use after that and just creating a new project now takes minutes.
> Returning a 2xx code immediately tells the client that the HTTP response contains a payload that they can parse to determine the outcome of the business/domain request.

There is nothing in the protocol that mandates only 2xx status codes are parsable. Instead, the Content-Type pinpoints to the client what kind of content the body has, regardless the status code. And the content-type will most probably be what the client asked (if not, then the server announces that the response content is not subject to negotiation, something that you see rarely nowadays..)

In general I think this post reflects one of the mentalities that appeared around 10 years ago regarding HTTP APIs (another was the extreme hypermedia-driven APIs). But I really think nowadays we can do much better, we can deliver a practical API that works 99% of the times.

By the way in the latest HTTP RFC (RFC9110) status code 422 is finally officially defined (previously was part of webdav extention), which means that the war 422 vs 400 for validation and other semantic errors is over and we have a clear winner. But 200 vs 404 for something that was not found? Well that was has ended long ago I think..

I think this is right. A lot of my favorite music finds ways to rotate what's repeating. It finds a balance of keeping the groove while still playing with the listener's expectations. But, to your point, if there isn't enough repetition, there's not enough to grab hold of. Obviously, it depends on what you're trying to accomplish, but for most applications, you want to give the listener engaged with your music.

Beyond, or beneath, song structure, I've noticed that experienced songwriters repeat notes in their melodies more often than people starting out.
Gold falling 1% relative to the strong USD doesn't invalidate it as a long term savings strategy.
> it basically says "anyone who works for a W2 will cause inflation if they are successful"

Then take comfort in that armchair analysis being wrong. If it were true, if FAANG employees’ pay were driving inflation, we’d expect to see local inflation correlate with FAANG employment.

It does not. In fact, almost the opposite is true, with inflation in the interior outpacing that on the coasts [1][2]. (Shipping.)

The. We have the other hacks telling us why inflation is “good”. I wish they got their stories straight.
The intent is to use waste oil, so, the oil remaining after shits been cooked in it. Usually this is referred to as WVO (waste vegetable oil).

Similar to how people process WVO from fish and chip shops into biodiesel for vehicles by reacting it with methanol and potassium hydroxide after some cleanup steps.

At the moment disposing of WVO is costly and wasteful.
Ban the collection in the first place unless company can prove it is necessary and will completely delete it after not needed for that purpose. Once location data is collected, it will and does leak.

Before CDs, I laboriously made a tape with Queen's "We Will Rock You" repeated over and over. I wanted it for car stereo demonstrations, but when others found I had it I sold dozens of copies, mostly to people who just liked the song.

Imagine that we didn't have a fancy dynamic system and we were still using files for web pages like the good old days. In that scenario, what would happen if someone accessed the non-existent `/api/v1/employees/100` path? It would return 404 Not Found. From that perspective, I think it's hard to justify that the original intentions of HTTP would want you to return a 200.
In regards to interoperability it does matter I think, if it's non-standard then it won't "just work" in an application that's expecting the standard. Practically though, APIs are a wild west, and almost no-one implements status codes right. So the idea of standardized interoperability was out the window a long time ago.

>It's price inflation due to a supply crunch brought on by the pandemic shutdowns (whose effect was delayed) and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Pandemic, probably yes. Ukraine? Probably not. The supply problem is over-optimized supply chains, which means "we build everything in China, and they're not producing." I just got a time estimate of 52 weeks for a 1200A distribution panel, and things like breakers >600A have similar restrictions.

All of this compounds up and down the chain. But luckily, a lot of suits on Wall Street are making tons of money, so everything will be fine, right?
Contact lenses, for those that wear them, also largely mitigate the tears and stinging.

Amazon was around, but only selling books in 98, I think. (It might depend on when in 98). Google wasn't really a thing until 99/2000: It existed at the tail end of 98 but it wasn't really going after talent yet. They were setting up their strategy and testing the viability of PageRank at that point.
> The first benchmarks indicated the plain Archimedes had higher FP throughput than a 16MHz 386 with a 387.

After some poking about, it is clear this statement is not true for any definition of "first" or "benchmark" or even considering confusion between 386 and 387.

In FP terms, the A3000 got 76 kWIPS, compared to a 387/40's 5.7 MWIPS. Scaling to earlier 16 MHz parts would suggest ~1.5 MWIPS, still almost 20 times as fast as the ARM. Even a bare 386DX40 gets 316 kWIPS, scaling suggests very similar performance overall.

It's plausible that an ARM2 would outperform a 386*SX*/16, but that's without the 387SX. No other combination of 38x parts would not outperform it.
I've interviewed IronSource employees who showed me their work. I was pretty shocked at how purely evil the products intent was (malware wrapped installers for popular Windows applications).

IronSource doesn't even have that as an excuse

Poverty traps are still very real and exist in most welfare systems. Small increases have to be targeted to not push someone over a clawback boundary in order to be beneficial. If you give someone $100 and they lose their subsidized housing as a result that’s still a poverty trap.
My feelings exactly. Lately I feel like Unity is getting wrecked by Unreal. I consistently look at Unreal acquisitions and developments and think, wow they are adding immense value to game developers / designers there.

I have held off on migrating over, given that (from what I have read), I agree with Unity's long term vision (move to .net, package manager, rendering pipelines, UI toolkit, dots). The real question for me though is if they are going to pull it off, or get derailed along the way.

Makes for good reading. From Twitter's complaint:

Having mounted a public spectacle to put Twitter in play, and having proposed and then signed a seller-friendly merger agreement, Musk apparently believes that he — unlike every other party subject to Delaware contract law — is free to change his mind, trash the company, disrupt its operations, destroy stockholder value, and walk away.
I'm not sure how you can confidently make any conclusions about any of this while we're in the midst of it. We're not through to the other side of this downturn yet, so who knows what could win?

My casual observation that I'll probably forget about in a few years and maybe remember the next time a real downturn (I'm too young to have ever paid attention to the economy, economic news, etc. during a downturn) happens is that, most likely, everyone gets scared of the uncertainty and dumps their assets in to cash so they're ready to pay off any debts they have. What happens next is unknown.

> Quite obviously a lot of people correctly timed the market's trends starting around the end of 2021

How many incorrectly timed the markets in 2020? In 2019? Etc.

I felt real smart when I sold my BTC at the ~$18k peak way back when. I even told myself I'd wait til it dropped to $2k before I bought more. Seemed smart back then. Not so smart now. Granted, I still made money, but I left a lot on the table.

10,000 is a round number representing a large fraction of a young person’s life, ~20 hours a week for 10 years. It seems significant because we assume talented young people can be experts if they spend a lot of time on something, but it really just reflects the criteria chosen for defining experts and time on a subject.

A prerequisite of becoming a Doctor for example is learning how to read, but that’s not considered part of the time commitment. Recursively when considering how long it takes to be an expert Heart Surgeon there is a tendency to ignore how long it takes to become a Doctor.
