This goes against the feeling I have of the market (nonstop recruiters). At which point in time did you feel the market had more opportunities? 2020? 2017?
It’s called the Members’ Representational Allowance and is north of $1,000,000 per year.

You mean those recruiters might have to spam me more with "last chance" emails?
I suppose the biggest reason is to stop people sending spam, but I feel like there has to be a better way to do this.
No, it is the NBER. Even the BEA says the NBER officially defines recessions:

Apple Silicon Mac computers can run iOS apps natively otherwise you have to do some work to port it to the Mac via SwiftUI which is multiplatform framework, or Catalyst with minimal efforts otherwise as an AppKit (Cocoa) app.

What framework does it use?
I'm not sure I understand this. Do you mean having an app instance using library code from local git instead of pip package? I do that all the time with a Makefile and some symlinks.
The answer to that question has nothing to do with my objection. I was simply pointing out the irrelevance of the "original intent" of these algorithms, given that we now know, and have known what they do. Focusing on that downplays their effects, which can indeed be considered their intent nowadays since we have known the effects for a while.

Say you hit a button, and each time you hit it you gain a million dollars. After you hit that button once or twice, you discover that it also causes great harm to other people. If you continue to hit the button, your original intent (when you didn't know it's effects) is no longer relevant to whether or not it you should continue hitting the button, since you would now knowingly be harming people for your own profit. The side-effect is no longer a side-effect. It's just an effect.

To answer your question anyway, perhaps we should consider the well-being of a user and bake that into our algorithms. It might not be as profitable, but there's a reason we regulate companies- having some restrictions on profitability can often be a net benefit to society.
Huh. It never occurred to me that Deckard could be a replicant. That truly did come out of left field :D But it makes sense.
This part is actually pretty simple.

You simply keep responding that you’re interested. Click their link. Fill out their form. Eventually you’ll get to a real person at a real company that was benefiting from the illegal spam.
I'm familiar with protein crystallization and the difficulties associated with it. What I don't agree with is the characterization of the field as especially difficult, above and beyond modern biology in general. Nor can I support the assertion that structural biology students are subject to special abuse that regular grad students are not.

> ... can be very difficult and there is no general solution

This is true of pretty much any graduate work in molecular biology.
What does "over minimising mistakes" mean? I would expect that the target for 'mistakes', especially serious ones' is zero (while accepting that it may be asymptotic).

Yeah, likely you won't get as many tools to help with structured GUIs and expected hooks to the operating system commands that your user will want to use, but if what you're looking for is unstructured, quirky, or artsy content, possibly the way old school flash sites wanted to be, then it's certainly a fun option for cross platform apps.

As far as I'm aware - you are correct. the whole popcorn lung thing is paid propaganda from ironically funded by tobacco industries.
popcorn lung only ever affected factory workers working with that chemical in concentrations higher than you would ever see even in a cigarettes chain-smoker.

This move made sense before they owned major players in the E-juice/E-cig business (juuls) - but now seems weird to push again.

edit: with all this said. let us not have that chemical in e-cigarettes going forward in the future (which I'm pretty sure most companies moved away from it in 2014 during the original popcorn lung ad campaign - so I doubt it's as much as an issue as it was previously).
You're talking about targeting a billion people. Who is that billion people? Is that the western world? Or people in the world with no cooking skills?

Do you have an idea of the distribution of cooking skills in the world / western world? How many people need to develop basic skills?

You're right, per se generating a small number of PDF is indeed easy.

What's complex is:
- Dynamic PDFs: you're trying to digitize a government process for instance, by launching online forms with a variety of user paths for the answers and generating a PDF with the answers that still fits specific government requirements
- Doing it at scale
Our main thesis is to teach the "hows" and "whys" behind recipes so that you can substitute and adjust as necessary for your own dietary preferences instead of having to find recipes that satisfy them.

It's more of an edtech approach where we try to get the right knowledge into your brain in an empowering way rather than outsourcing decision making to an algorithm.
The point is that, if there is a per-call cost that everybody has to pay, it becomes much harder for spammers to justify automatically calling hundreds of thousands of numbers per day, while regular people who make one or two calls a day won't notice.

"enforcing the laws we have" isn't enough because spoofing exists and many of the spammers operate across borders.

I think one issue with this line of thinking is that the USA is completely and fundamentally not a company, and shouldn't be run as such. A company's goal is to maximize profits. A country's goal is to maximize the well-being of their citizens. A company's employees are expendable. A country's citizens need to have their needs looked after 24/7 and are indispensable.
I have a very structured proces that has grown up over time, using OneModel (aka OM) software I wrote (AGPL; URL and some more info in my profile). I often capture thoughts using voice notes on my phone, then roughly daily I commit those to the OM notes in the right place so that I will come across them again at the most convenient time for me -- they go in the calendar, topic notes, long-term planning, todo list, in-progress-ideas notes, staging of tasks I haven't prioritized yet, etc. Then daily, I review each of those areas and update the plan for the day before starting on it. My daily routine of processing those things, then using them, has been very helpful to me, not just for staying organized, but deciding & remembering what to focus on in my practicing/improving of habits next, periodic reviews (some of which are also in Anki), etc.

ps: It also helps me with the process of going from brainstorming to writing for others. It can export notes to text outline form using indentation (can import from those also, though not as smoothly as I would like, it does work) or export to a legal-numbered outline (1.1.2, 1.1.3, ...). Also exports to simple html which is how I generate my web sites.

Also: I have been using this about daily for over 10 years and it is extremely helpful to me in a variety of ways, in daily use. Helps me keep track of long-term purpose, short-term todos, everything in between, and more.

I also use it for my personal journal, and it can show logs of activity by date range which i sometimes use a rougher/informal personal journal or reference.
Cause of death seems to occupy a strange place in our society.

Almost everyone is eager to know that detail, but can't pinpoint why.

On the other hand, especially when we weren't close to the deceased, we know that it's information we probably don't need. And that people close to the deceased may find it painful to have publicly discussed.

The "know someone how has" clause seems like it muddies the apparent purpose of the question (to gauge how common this is). 15/15 developers on my team either are me or know someone who is me, therefore being me is extremely common? There could be a small handful of people bouncing around from company to company for this reason and a large number of people at those companies would be able to answer "yes."
Is that not referring to Coffeescript? I don't see the relevance.
>Everyone learns that the best way to get jobs is skip the recruitment pipeline by using your network.

>Way better to make contacts with people where you want to work and just skip it.

Thing is, this process has to be a net positive or it's just unsustainable. Seems to me more and more that networking is just nepotism and doesn't give the best candidates the jobs they are looking for. Add in some title inflation and you've got a hell of a bubble.

I never downvote because I "don't like", and so should you.

Being in a majority doesn't make you more right. Ironically, this is a part of the mindset some minorities had to fight against.

I did, and other people have made some replies with which I agreed. Therefore, no point for me to repeat the same things.
You seem to be confusing correlation with causation. Correlation is effectively coincidence. You can't expect anyone to make decisions - business or otherwise - based on coincidence. In fact, we attemp to solve too many symptoms based on correlation. We can't keep doing that. It's creating more noise while true root problems continue and expand.
I’m not sure what connection you’re drawing here.

Chekhov's Gun is but one playwright's opinion on what makes for "correct" dramatic structure.

As others have also stated, Tom is one of my favorite characters purely because he is left so unexplained. Tolkien sought to create a world. In order to create a world [0], it doesn't make sense for the whole of that world to be defined by a singular story or set of events. Least of all a world created by an author who so dearly loved folklore and mythology.

The thing I am working on is intended to be useable to also build GUI apps and command line tools.

The tech that is often used in game engines, especially related to GPU support but also memory management and GUI structure is often 10-100x faster than what is commonly used elsewhere.

Text rendering can be just as nice as any desktop app, it is not trivial but not rocket science either, and quite a few smart guys have been doing nice work in this field.

It certainly impacts people's votes, but when I go to a news site I don't think in the 70s, 80s, etc you'd find people trying so very hard to say a contracting economy is just a "transition" and not a recession. My point is mostly on what the press is doing in their reporting and trying to protect the current party in power ahead of the mid-terms. I know it would be the opposite if things were reversed, with Fox denying the economic reality. I just find it pretty pathetic. What would be the harm in reporting we are in a mild recession other than it runs counter to the White House?

The press is one of the most loathed things in the country and they always seem to dig their grave even deeper.

I used to vape. I even made my own vape juice, for a time, which is quite a bit easier than brewing your own beer!

Note that the linked Harvard study is from 2015(!); the vast majority of vape juices no longer contain diacetyl. Acetylpropionyl is the replacement and I guess we're not sure if that has similar problems.

In any case, vaping is UNQUESTIONABLY better than smoking cigarettes.

Edit: note that DIY e-liquid recipes often disclose relatively responsibly. See for example, this recipe for "strawberry fog", which I mixed up a couple of times: https://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/226322/strawberry%20fog

(My "house" recipe was this strawberry lemonade, which doesn't contain anything even similar to diacetyl: https://e-liquid-recipes.com/recipe/3832603/Strawberry%20Lem...)
I read the books as a kid, twice. I was glad they left Tom out of the movies. I mean, what he means to the story and the mythology is STILL being debated, 40 years after I read the books, and that was decades after they had been written. If Jackson had included him in the movies, he would have had to make an interpretation about his nature, one way or the other, or face endless waves of criticism from people (casuals) who don't understand that the character was left vague in the writing. I'm glad he didn't try to nail it down in the medium of film.

My intuition is that cigarette smokers are likely to not be smoking constantly, while vapers are much more likely to be doing so.

I’ve used nicotine in various forms for quite a while, and find that I tend to mindlessly and very heavily vape when I’m working on something that requires intense thought. I made it a point to have a second device with a much lower nicotine level - or no nicotine at all - for that purpose. Otherwise I’d develop cravings far beyond what I’d ever experienced before.

This hits very close to home for some reason. Thinking about music, it seems that most emotions have gone from that art. Maybe this is why I enjoy stand-up comedy so much - I feel all four of those emotions when watching it.

Quickly checks ingredients of my vaping liquid

So the main ingredients are Propylene Glycol, Glycerol, Nicotine (Obviously), and Flavorings.

But what exactly are the 'Flavorings'? I would hope it doesn't include diacetyl.
Not for FTTP :). In the UK we mostly have XGS PON or GPON with maybe a few hundred thousand active ethernet lines.

By the definitions of "conspiracy" and "theory", this idea that Biden is secretly causing an independent agency do misrepresent economic data is, objectively, a conspiracy theory. If there is some proof it happened, then it would be called a conspiracy.

There is quite a trend toward calling things conspiracy theories these days, but there are more conspiracy theories being spread these days.

I think is is probably due to the well-documented conspiracies between the conservative (and some of the radical liberal) press and foreign propagandists to spread misinformation in the US, and conspiracy theories are an effective way to achieve that goal.
Fast food is reporting the same thing, McDonald's put out a report a few days ago, Yum! Brands is yet to report results for the quarter but similar results are expected. Target had a similar report to Walmart.

It is mostly discretionary spending that is down; Wal-Mart reported the largest fall in apparel iirc, but demand is demand. One would expect discretionary spending to fall first, and hopefully it stops there.

Support is strong when you ask a one-dimensional question ("do you, in general, support voter ID?").

The poll linked from the CNN article demonstrates this: there's also overwhelming support for making voting easier, but voter IDs (without free and accessible ID services) will make it harder. And that's the crux of the common Democratic position: voter IDs are perfectly fine if we ensure access to IDs. But that needs to happen before or with any restrictions on voting, to prevent disenfranchisement.

>No one said anything like this

The top comments on this article are following that exact logic. Stuff like:

>Its important to be reminded regularly that there are perfectly legal ways for people with lots of money to endlessly bully people that annoy them.

>My mom was an attorney. A really sound piece of advice she gave me was, "Never get into a legal battle with a lawyer. You can't win."

The average non-attorney is not capable of getting into the kind of mistakes that Chevron was able to pin on Donziger. Even a SLAPP suit for defamation wouldn't get you put into house arrest for two years before you even get tried. At worst the system brands you a vexatious litigant.

> All your talking seems to be an attempt to distract from this nasty truth, to carry water for one of the more evil companies of today, and that's saying an awful lot.

No, I'm trying to explain how Chevron got away with murder, not say that they should be able to do so.

The only reason why it even matters whether or not Donziger bribed anyone in Ecuador is because the US courts refused to try the original case. The US has much stronger rule-of-law than Ecuador does. This, ironically, let Chevron play off accusations of corruption against judges that will absolutely fuck over the corruptible. This is what I mean by "tunnel vision": they were so worried about the possibility of a bribe happening that they threw out the judgment entirely and fucked over the attorney involved instead, which is what Chevron wanted. It is corruption in the name of anticorruption.
Not exactly the same, but years ago my brothers and I were driving around the ring road in Iceland. As we pulled into Myvatn in the afternoon a blizzard was starting. We got to our hotel without incident and after putting our stuff in our rooms we went out to the front of the hotel to watch the blizzard from under cover. While standing their we started noticing in between breaks in the storm various vehicles parked across the road. There were all these military vehicles with large Soviet/Russian red stars on the side as well as very high end luxury vehicles. What in the world? As we are standing there a guy comes out and starts yelling into his phone about how the person on the line didn’t understand that there was a blizzard and the timeline was getting all messed up. What? Well, we go back inside and chat up some guys hanging around in the lobby. Turns out we had booked the same hotel as the Fast and the Furious film crew (no idea which movie since I’ve never seen any of them) and the actors were all staying at the hotel across the street where the luxury vehicles were parked. We talked about walking across the street to the other hotel’s lobby to see if we could see anyone famous, but we had started to notice burly security people wandering around the cars, so decided against it.
What does it matter if it's one-sided? Reading the complaints and the seqience of events give me perspective on whether something like that could happen to me as a platform user.

In call with Biden Xi warns against 'playing with fire' over Taiwan
I am someone who routinely pushes back on improvements and fights them. Why?

1. I get held accountable for delays. The Scum Master will whine to me about "why is X taking so long?" and I capitulate as I do not care.

2. Production bugs are blameless. The team gets blamed as a whole and it gets blamed, particularly at one job, on the non-existence of a team lead.

Basically, incentives at two of my jobs make me want to turn every ticket into a production failure.

But this is me sacrificing everything about the code and the infrastructure to keep schedules happy and that is because I have no intrinsic need to do good work at my throwaway jobs. It makes things miserable for the other developers who do care though.
