Economically we should think of it like this:

Our early industrialization contributed massively to global warming. It allowed us to become extremely wealthy, but also we incurred a "carbon debt" to the rest of the planet, since our atmosphere is a shared resource.

Now that others are trying to industrialize, we should repay that "carbon debt" to offset the cost of allowing them to industrialize cleanly, since we had the benefit early on of not having to worry about our impact on the environment. The gains that we made early on were at everyone's expense.
How long did it travel at hypersonic speeds

After release from an aircraft, the first stage boosted the vehicle to the expected scramjet ignition envelope. From there the missile’s Northrop Grumman scramjet engine fired up and propelled the cruiser to speeds greater than Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound) for more than 300 nautical miles and reaching altitudes higher than 60,000 feet.

There’s a big leap from not wanting to spend a lot on concessions to not eating anything. This isn’t a movie theater. I usually just bring snacks from home and/or but food outside the stadium and bring it in.

It’s gotten harder as we’ve locked things down for “security” since you usually can’t bring a big bag in anymore, but even with kids it’s very doable.
There have been fights between Amazonian tribes and landowners. The tribes are relocated (or killed).
You're right that it needs to be fleshed out more subtly.

I think the main point is that government constraints on supply is theft, whenever those constraints are applied onto an entire market with no good substitute. Not theft as understood in a current legal sense, but functionally equivalent.

The interest group (landlords, steelmakers) are stealing from customers (renters, builders) by lobbying government for supply constraints (zoning laws, steel tarrifs). The mechanism of theft is artificially higher prices paid by the consumer, with no way out given an absence of substitutes.

Whether the good is a necessity or not is somewhat moot to the question of whether theft is occurring. Even if I buy unnecessary gym equipment, I am still being robbed if the price is 2x higher due to government corruption. It is more pernicious when the good is a necessity, like shelter, though, because the theft becomes mandatory.

> Zalando currently employs around 120 researchers that work specifically on machine learning, with some of these focusing on customer needs and how to make their experience better using AI. According to Vilma Sirainen, a senior product designer with Zalando, three of the main problem areas for a Zalando customer are 'combining separate pieces into outfits and that they are within their price range', 'feeling overwhelmed with the amount of choice', and 'not relating to the products they’re seeing on the platform'.

I am often annoyed about all the options that are missing from clothing store websites (not just Zalando).

So before we hire 120 AI/ML scientists, why not hire three programmers to build out things such as these criteria that are missing:

* Is a shirt "Non-ironing"?

* What is the "Fit" of a pants? as in "regular fit" or "skinny fit"?

* "Size", I kid you not, is missing or different than expected. For example, my pants size is "36/30" but the website offers me S/M/L/XL. Which one do I pick?
You may already be aware, but you can click on the "computed styles" tab for an element (in the devtools elements panel), and it will show you the exact values that were rendered. Much much much easier than trying to understand how the written CSS cascades down to that specific element.

My girlfriend and I always try to support our local theater by getting as much concessions as possible. Movie theaters are a very important part of my life and I don’t want them to die. A movie ticket wouldn’t fund a thing, especially with inflation now.

Did they change this recently? Netflix has always done a season dump in my experience. While I like it personally, I kind of think it's a mistake because it reduces the "water cooler" discussions that keep the property in the public consciousness for longer and allow it to build up a following.
Brazil is rich though, and largely because of those things. The fact that such richness is so unjustly distributed across the population is an orthogonal problem.
One of the answers contains a link ("You can see proof [here]") and another references a previous answer in a way you would only do in writing ("See my previous answer")

Fairly sure it wasn't really an "interview", and just an emailed response to a list of questions.
Whereas movie theaters seem to be a dying industry, and doing what they can to survive, Disney and baseball could afford to charge less. But why would they when demand <> supply can be tightly controlled by increasingly higher prices?
Are you saying that UK inflation is actually caused by the cost of lockdowns?

How does that compare with inflation other countries are also experiencing?
I didn't know this either. I stand corrected.

Having said that, apart from what you also flagged, it's also a bit bland. Like "there's some legal stuff here, exercise caution".

Instead the badge could have symbolic character, an emotive icon ... something. Something that strongly implies "Danger Will Robinson" without explicitly saying so. Something any company would want to avoid risking that thing showing next to their logo, unless it was absolutely necessary.

As it is now, all I'm getting is a bland "huh, something legal must have happened here".

There’s always the risk of buyer’s remorse changing jobs (unless you were escaping something exceptionally toxic). Usually that dissipates by the year anniversary or you end up jumping back into the job hunt. The article doesn’t say how long those polled had been at the new job..
Tiktok is an app that, in my opinion, is only popular because SV lost interest in building social media apps for young people after Snapchat. Facebook made a (successful) play for older users but lost the youth. That's fine in the short term: Those older users have more spending power and your advertisers will appreciate that. But it does mean competitors can eat you from the "bottom up" and make you look like a Dinosaur.
You don’t need to know that to do the comparison. If I tell you to do the same thing in one language it’s “(!:;$&)” and in another it’s “array_contains”, you don’t even need to know the languages to have a reasonable opinion on which is superior.
At the state of the art, reproducibility is less important for competitors than simply knowing that your competitor- who you trust is nearly as competent as you- did achieve what they claim.

I see reproducibility as an aspirational goal, at least in the subset of "discovery" science where the competition is to be first to identify a new scientific principle. Reproducibility is more important in another area- people building tools for others to use for their own research.
I'm sure they would be happy to sell data provided the person purchasing the data would not be in the ad space.

For example, if the government says, "here's $10B dollars / year" give us that data and we wont use it in ads. Google doesn't have a business incentive not to provide it the data.
How do you know that the specific login page is where you send the username/password? What if the sevrer changes the login flow to be a 2-part process? What if the clone wants to add an extra challenge like TOTP?

The kinds of changes people are interested in are usually related to changing URLs, and those don't seem very valuable to me for the amount of complexity this flow adds. And ironically enough, the "URL changing" part we already have covered in the old system fine, with HTTP Redirect messages.

I haven't ever seen a switch on a e-bike. In Sweden you would need a license plate if the vehicle is capable of exceeding the limit of 25 km/h, and operating such vehicle at any speed requires a driver license.

What we got that serve a similar purpose is 4 wheel "e-bikes", also called quadricycle. Basically cars that has their gearbox altered to only use gear 1 and 2, which by eu-classification put them in the same category as e-scooters. Very popular with teens since it allows them to drive without a driving license, and very accident prone. Looking at the statistics, those should require a license to operate.
If you don't understand how the vast majority of goods made in your country helps your economy, you terribly need to read some economic theory. I suggest Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations. Brazil didn't suddenly deinvest other sectors out of a whim, they became less relevant thanks to economic pressure. To assume otherwise is accusing the entire country of incredible stupidity, which is laughable when you demonstrate so much lack of knowledge.

Oh boy, this exactly. We just did Disney World for my oldest and a week of tickets + hotel (definitely not cheapest options) was about 10k. Food and drinks another 2k. Add ons almost 4k.

You have to pay bribes to Lightning Lane if you don't want to spend hours in line. And then of course there's so much demand for everything that you basically have to regiment the visit entirely with reservations for everything.

LinkedIn might not be the best place for that... even Hacker News is a better platform for that I think.

If you want to find friends (not just potential business associates), I suggest trying to find some other personal interest of yours that isn't money-related. Perhaps sharing on a different platform as well.
>As a Brazilian, I would be completely ok with that.

Well, that's your view, and you have the right to have it. But, it's likely that the majority doesn't agree.

Besides, if you ask me, outsiders that tell a country to not cut down their forests for economic/monetary purposes should pay for that privilege. That's not to talk of the arrogance of outsiders telling someone what to do.
What about POWER?
The world was very different back then.

If the US had been a super power in the 17th or 18th century you can be certain they would have colonized other countries as well.

Regarding WWI and WWII, Europe has never had the homogeneous culture of big states like the US. Again, wars have been the norm for most of humanity. The current peaceful era is really an anomaly.

The 49ers moved from the almost completely car-only Candlestick to a new stadium in Santa Clara that is served directly by Capitol Corridor and ACE trains and has its own VTA streetcar station and is accessed by the San Tomas Aquino Creek and Guadalupe River bike and pedestrian trails.

it can take a village of wage earners with no meaningful stake (and often stolen wages or exploited salaried overtime, plus all the managers needed to herd) to create the work of a few owner-laborers properly aligned with business interests and vision. but then these owners need to do work and LPs stand to gain less from not pumping it into a moonshot
I think it depends on what ones actions performed will be. If I am rendering a blog from some markup files, I might not need to build my own persistence or things like that. The information flow is unidirectional. In such and other simple cases, a relational database is overkill.

It is also not too difficult to switch from plain text files to a database, if one does this step in time, before implementing ones own persistence, joins and whatever on basis of files.
Yep. But one way of distributing this across the population is by favouring other sectors rather than strangling them to favour the primary.

The number of people working in the agricultural sector has only shrunk and will keep shrinking due to mechanisation/automation. The general population won't see the benefits of the primary sector growing, unless we have a Soviet-style wealth redistribution.
S300/400 works just fine against aircraft and probably cruise missiles.

HIMARS rockets are small, fast ... S300 was supposed to stop them, but we can't be sure how many are getting hit even then I don't think we can accept to get a volley of 6 rockets interceded.

That said, of course Russia's used of supposed 'hypersonics' is a pointless distraction.

There isn't an obvious gap anywhere here, other than it seems PAC/Patriot systems are so expensive there are few deployed, which is a bit scary.

Also, no matter how good your AA, where there is a ton of missiles and jets, some things get through.
There are situations where it is entirely rational and advantageous to make people think you are irrational.

The demo was built nicely!
The thing I wonder about with movies and food: where is the competition? Where is the free market thing? If the price of tickets and food is an issue for people to not go to the cinema more often, surely a competitor would see that as an opportunity and gouge prices?

I mean that's basically what Uber did with a ton of investor money; undercut the competition out of business. Muh free market.

I've generally only worked with designers in a mobile app context. A few of the things I do as a dev which has improved my relationship with the design side (Although the designers I've worked with have changed over time and that definitely is a part of the better dynamic. The initial designers I worked with came from print media and had no mobile app experience):

- Work in a Storybook-like sandbox for components. This is the single best change and a lot of other stuff comes from this in terms of standardization and common language. By working on components in isolation, its a lot easier to both flesh out edge cases as well as argue that certain edge cases need to be handled ("theres no guarantee about how this component will be used so we need to make sure we have some answer for X"). It also _massively_ speeds up iteration speed

- Put in generators/utilities that do things like generate your buttons/labels/colors. This lets you standardize on a smaller palette and also give you a choke-point to flag "illegal" values (e.g. trying to set a label font size to 8pt, or a button tap target to 36x36).

- Learn some UI/UX! Reading the material design docs gave me a much better understanding of grid layout and color design systems.

- Coach the designers on the platform expectations especially around tap targets, font sizes, and navigation patterns. You should usually stick to your guns on this stuff.

- Understand that your job as a dev is to _try your best_ to implement the design as presented. This means you should at least make an attempt to bring their creation to reality, after you adjust it to fit within the confines as described above.
>Empirical results and by extension replications are one line of argument in scientific discourse, but by no means the only one.

Someone said science relies on reproducibility and you outright dismissed that with a "no, no...", now it sounds like you're saying "well, yes but it's nuanced".

If you just said "yes, but it's nuanced" from the start without being so dismissive you probably wouldn't have been met with disagreement.

The First Images from the James Webb Telescope Are Breathtaking–and Significant
At the risk of sounding like one of those crazy internet kooks, social media has been the greast psyops experiment known to man. The CIA has tried manipulating the populations of foreign nations since its creation, but could never have dreamed of something as effective as social media. Only problem for US folks, it has been much more effective against US citizens. It's so effective, the masses think you're a nutter for even mentioning it. The people are being played with emotionally like toys at the whim of anyone that wants to play.

In hindsight this make a lot of sense. Growing up, it didn't. I did my schooling in a small Indian city where from Grade 3-5 (that's approx 8-10 year old) we were given access to Logo in the computer room and instructed to make things (very basic stuff, initially, and progressively interesting things like spirals etc).

It was quite baffling then, till, say start of my undergrad (age 18), on what was the point of learning to control a turtle using simple commands. It hit me finally, as I was trying to learn actual programming.

A lot of people (in my circles) say that learning to program is intuitive, easy. I have never believed that. To teach something like HTML/CSS/How to use MS Word etc would be far, far worse experience (I'm looking at you, second tier Indian schools) than learning to move a turtle using simple commands. If nothing else, it brings home the idea of moving commands to actuate things on the computer.

PS: I suppose you can make the argument that this is also accomplished by video games but I hold that syntactically coherent commands (LT 90; FD 10) give a better insight into command-action nature of interaction than (Up arrow; Up arrow; move mouse to enemy; left click).
Either push through or play a round of settlers of Catan at colonist.io. the game takes approximately 30 minutes, is a good reset, and one at a time is usually enough.

So, lets fund the planting of 20+ trees per second to help counter-balance it.
Someone can plant around 200 trees per day with basic tools (lower end - some can do upward of 1000) but lets go with the lower number.

24 hours per day X 60 minutes X 60 seconds X 20 trees per second = 1,728,000 trees per day = 8640 people required

This certainly seems feasible - we just need the economics to justify it.
They included "fs mm kernel". No idea how representative that is for the "core of Linux", but it does (presumably) include all filesystems, and not just XFS.
Generally, it is because it is harder for the air to exit from the intake than it is to exit through the exhaust.

It can be because the inlet into the combustion chamber is larger than the outlet, because the blade pitch is finer on the compressor side than it is on the turbine side, because of the specific geometry of various components, ... Often all of that.

The intake is optimized for low speed high pressure (lots of elements, small space, fine pitch, ...) , the exhaust is optimized for high speed low pressure (less elements, more space, coarser pitch), and naturally, the air will flow from the high pressure zone to the low pressure zone.
This is economy vs. environment dichotomy is just lazy. "So, what are they supposed to do?" Not destroy a forest which belongs to every Brazilian to further enrich elite ranchers, agribusinesses and mining firms. This is the corruption you are talking about.

It's not a hard problem - we know good governance is the solution, as it has been in the past. The incompetence and corruption of the current government are costing Brazil far more than the opportunity cost of not exploiting the forest. Doing so is such an inefficient solution, providing temporary gains for a few while leading to enormous hidden costs for literally everyone in the future.

So sure, there should be import tariffs or bans on Brazilian beef, even sanctions on loggers, miners and ranchers etc. but the next significant step is to get this government out.
Academics are judged by the publications not their implementations, so the system favours over-sold manuscripts and it-ran-once implementations. Until funding is conditional-on (and provided for) robust well maintained code it will remain challenging to get reproducibility.

Frequently the PIs (bosses) will not even glance at the repositories written by junior members, probably can't read code anyway, and certainly won't allocate time for their maintenance. Even worse, most academics who do publish code have never been exposed to real world software engineers, their techniques, or tools.
This is why everybody switched to the fiat standard during the world war. If one side can print money infinitely to sustain the war effort, the other side has to do the same or lose on the economic front.
