Actually I don't consider Docusaurus as a real investment. altough as a non-Node.js/React dev all this might sound complex, but this is actually the basic stack for many frontend devs today, not something very fancy.

Investing in your docs mean assembling a tech team for a long effort to build a first class experience. I believe you can achieve something almost as good as a full team by having just 1 engineer working on your Docusaurus doc a few hours per week.

> If you're making internal docs, then ya, I agree with you, keep it dead simple.

Internal docs also deserve a great DX. You can use Docusaurus for internal docs, and use our stock template to get started in a few minutes: just write markdown files. We have been reported heavy usage of Docusaurus at Microsoft and LinkedIn for internal documentations for example.

This is what our stock template look out of the box: https://tutorial.docusaurus.io/

You don't have to do anything to have this DX: just write md files. Maybe you can already feed Docuaurus with your existing md files, and it will just work without any change.
This is how Europe works. And it works well, and the reason the US pays WAAAY more for items like this. The US also allows price gouging of course..

No sympathy for those who want to gouge ill people. About time, I hope the rest of America gets to buy cheaper insulin. Saying otherwise is a disgrace
we don't consider a place with a 70 year old national identity to be a distinct race, you might be able to trip up some Americans on that, but not all of us are that gullible

and then the rest of this tiny city state comparison to two municipalities within one state in the US? (Also there are plenty of raves in LA that go till dawn, as well as strip clubs, card rooms and so on. If you want nightlife its there.)

and then corporate walled garden versus government walled garden?

> So how is the FTC determining the counterfactual of what the homes would have sold for on the open market?

The complaint [0] which preceded the settlement laid out the detailed narrative of specific steps Opendoor took to reduce it's offers based on its own internal estimate of market prices, and Opendoor’s own internal analyses of it's offered prices (separately on accepted and customer rejected offers) being below market value.

So Opendoor already did that work for the FTC.

In the Navy when I went to Electricians Mate School in 1979 before going on to Nuclear Power School, we studied Boolean Algebra with this manual:

Navy Electricity and Electronics Training Series: Module 13—Introduction to Number Systems and Logic

http://www.tscm.com/NEETS-v13-Logic.pdf

Boolean logic, or Boolean algebra as it is called today, was developed by an English mathematician, George Boole, in the 19th century. He based his concepts on the assumption that most quantities have two possible conditions  TRUE and FALSE... Boolean algebra is used primarily by design engineers.

I became fascinated with it. Most of my buddies went to the nuclear industry when they got out but I got out as soon as I could and went into computers.

Fun fact: Boole's youngest of five daughters Ethel [2] married Wilfrid Voynich, who acquired the Voynich Manuscript in Italy in 1912 [1].

[1] The Voynich Manuscript is one of the world’s most mysterious books written in code. The manuscript gets its name from Wilfred Michail Voynich (1865-1930), George Boole’s son-in-law. Several attempts by world class codebreakers (including Alan Turing) have failed to definitively unravel its meanings.

LSI seems to trend towards negative infinity as TDS et. al. approach 0.

pH = 7 (pure water)
TDS = 0 mg/L
Calcium = 0 mg/L (or ppm) as CaCO3
Alkalinity = 0 mg/L (or ppm) as CaCO3
Temperature = 21 celsius (room temp)

A = (Log10 [TDS] - 1) / 10 = (Log10 [0] - 1) / 10 = -Infinity

B = -13.12 x Log10 (Temp + 273) + 34.55 = -13.12 x Log10 (21 + 273) + 34.5 = 2.12

C = Log10 [Ca2+ as CaCO3] - 0.4 = Log10[0] - 0.4 = -Infinity

D = Log10[alkalinity as CaCO3] = Log10[0] = -Infinity

pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D) = 9.3 + A + B - C - D = 9.3 - Infinity + 2.12 + Infinity + Infinity = Infinity

LSI = pH - pHs = 7 - Infinity = -Infinity

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=7+-+%28%289.3+%2B+%28%2...

From my understanding a negative LSI means the water will try to "pick up" atoms/molecules from the container it is in (corrosive). A positive LSI indicates it will lay down atoms/molecules (scale build-up).

A value of negative infinity tells me that pure water is going to eat the pipes.

That being said, I don't know if the LSI scale is well behaved as these values trend towards 0! The values of water purity in the equation seem to dominate both pH and temperature as those values trend towards 0 - no big difference in results if pH is 7 vs. pH is 3 and no big difference if water is frozen or boiling. Temperature can have a big impact for _very cold_ and _very hot_ but then you're dealing with solid water or steam and that doesn't really make sense to me for this model. That probably suggests the equation is only well behaved for a certain range for each value, and I'd suspect 0 is outside the range these equations can model for TDS, Calcium, and Alkalinity. But I can't find anything that defines the ranges the LSI model applies to.

In addition to things other people have said there's a lot of roles that aren't combat so increasing the number of women who can qualify can fill out those roles (logistics, the reams of sundry clerical work, maintenance, etc) where physical strength isn't as critical helps fill out a volunteer army.
I'm pretty convinced RN is only really a thing because it gives PMs/managers some good promo material about how they lead a team to "switching to a shared cross-platform codebase". They then end up using that to switch jobs/companies before they have to deal with the long-term fallout of making the switch to RN.

My company recently switched both our Android and iOS apps over from native to RN. The RN promoters promised all sorts of benefits about sharing code between platforms and how the performance would be as good as native, and how the UI would look like native, and none of that actually materialized:

- In the end, RN code is only something like 20% of our Android app. They weren't able to just "write once" and run on both.

- Instead of having 2 teams, an iOS and Android, now we have 3 teams, iOS native, Android native, and RN. And the RN team is split between iOS and Android. All sorts of additional complexity now.

- We still need a fully staffed Android specific team for everything that couldn't be done in RN.

- The performance difference vs. a native app is blatantly obvious.

- Now we just have organizational problems as the app has multiple teams/languages involved, different parts of the app are owned by different teams and manager chains, rather than just one team of people that own making a good app. RN teams can dynamically push code changes to production apps and we no longer have deterministic, reproducible builds.

- Now we have morale issues from the discontent from the team members that want nothing to do with RN.

- The UI, even though it's supposed to use native controls, just does not look and feel like native apps, there's so many little things that are strange/different.

- Our codebase is now dependent on a 3rd party platform and on a language that completely differs from how Google says that Android apps should be built. Why wouldn't we just build Android apps the way the Android team says we should? Is there going to be long term support for RN/JS?
Oh, extremely. < 17% of the country is 65 years and older, and yet their interests represent a supermajority in Congress. It's one reason why climate change isn't being addressed; control is held by people who will be dead by then.

Not in practice.

The brand-new death house was mothballed (which really means locked closed) on orders of the governor. There's been some talk over vacating death sentences, but courts are really reticent to do that while the penalty remains on the books, even if it's not enforced. If the state rescinded Newsom's moratorium, there's still a court-ordered moratorium that would remain in effect (once again proving that most things Gavin Newsom does are just for show, because California has always just been a stepping-stone to DC for him).

Condemned prisoners in CDCR custody are slowly being transferred to other maximum security facilities where they will have the opportunity to "program" along with other felons with long sentences (i.e. take advantage of educational, religious, vocational, and related opportunities rather than just wait to be led to the gurney). Death Row at San Quentin is scheduled to be repurposed in some way, though the state's Death Row for women is just another housing unit for segregated inmates at the women's facility in Chowchilla.

My city seems to have a problem producing good bread at non-insane prices, which means it's also ~impossible to get a decent sandwich at anything but LOLWTF prices, and even then you're rolling the dice that it'll be better than what a totally ordinary sandwich should taste like, and does in cities that don't have this bizarre problem.

It's worth noting that even a cheap, used 3-year-old iPhone 11 [0] is faster in benchmarks than a new flagship Samsung S22 Ultra [1], and the disparity is much larger when comparing flagships of the same generation head-to-head. This is no excuse for slow software, but it does go some way towards explaining the speed of the iOS app.

If you read his comment a little further you'll see his point... "You cannot understand how significant such a change is to the people of the country unless you've lived in a third world country and really seen what it's like"... to spell it out for you, he's saying no one from the once third world cares what Gibson thinks of Singapore because if you haven't lived 3rd world you don't understand the greatness that comes from Singapore now. Although I don't agree with the draconian measures taken, I can support that they're happier now than before, something most people from first world countries fail to see, because you have no idea what it's like living in a third world.

>Here's an article from 2008 talking about the 2 quarter rule of thumb. Apparently it's been around since 1974.

That article states exactly what I did: "Ignorance about recessions has taken hold because of a simplistic idea that a recession is two successive quarterly declines in gross domestic product (GDP), a measure of the nation's output."

It states the 1974 rule was not two quarters, but over time people forgot to use the rest of the rules. So this completely backs up the "it is not simply 2 quarters" definitions.

>Here's one from 1998 using the 2 month definition.

That's not two month, and it's also not using GDP, which is what people keep wanting it to be. It states "commonly defined as two consecutive quarters of economic contraction" - what is contraction? Decline in many variables, which is what the NBER uses - GDP, and/or GNP, and/or labor markets, and/or sales/purchasing, .....

>Here's the NYT defining it the same way in 1974.

That article also explicitly states that the NBER defines the start and end: "Generally, the designation of recession periods and the beginning and ending dates established by the National Bureau of Economic. Research, a private research agency, are accepted, by both Government and private economists." It then goes on to say how NBER has managed this since the 1920s.

Did you even read those links you posted?

They pretty much back up that the NBER has been the arbiter of recessions in the US.

>politicians, their news allies and political operatives push whichever one is most convenient

Yes politicians do push things that are not true because people ignorant of the correct nuance follow their tribe. But that does not change the truth or underlying fact of the matter.
Well, cargo has it. So does go build. And dune. And MSBuild. And... basically, every language-specific (and non-specific) build tool out there handles it, so yes?

Dazzle camo wasn't so much a "hide me" camo as it was a "hide data needed to shot me" camo. It was designed to make it harder to estimate heading and speed so it was harder to calculate accurate shots by submarines and naval guns which needed data about the target ship's speed, distance and heading to calculate an accurate shot.
Separate point what's with the tendency other than to try and impress and mislead in some way to use 'Labs' (ie Opendoor Labs) in your business name when what you are doing has nothing to do at all with the traditional definition of a laboratory. (I know others do this as well.)
> as long as it's a real standard already installed and kept up to date on 99% of potential user's systems.

Unfortunately, by far the closest thing we have to this is Google Chrome.
Well, in Opendoor’s claimed business model, they did that through separately-disclosed fees that they charged, not the purchase price.

> It sounds bad, and it is, until you realize that he was stealing street signs, which is a crime in probably any country, not just Singapore. TBH, who decides to steal street signs in a foreign country?

He was living with his mother in Singapore, so while he was a US citizen, he was stealing street signs "at home."

Also vandalism and theft of street signs is certainly quite common in St Louis, where he lived before moving to Singapore.
There isn't anything inherently 'cleaner' about a large city surrounded by a couple of mirrors vs a few dozen smaller ones. It certainly is guaranteed to be more expensive, though!
What is more interesting to me is asking the question based on first principles.

> The Philippines are an example where corruption as well as high pop growth dragged down progress. China too, initially was too authoritarian and too ideological

One aspect about this topic that I’ve never seen discussed anywhere, is the bidirectional relationship between countries, such as how authoritarian and corrupt countries export their authoritarianism and corruption to other countries in the same way that the US exports their weapons, capitalism, entertainment, and soft power, but very rarely, if ever, their "freedom", as if that’s the one thing, in spite of the excessive rhetoric, that isn’t fungible.

For an example of what I’m talking about, much of the political chaos and tendency towards authoritarianism in the US that we’ve seen in the post-9/11 era, has been imported from autocratic and authoritarian regimes. From what I’ve read, the first reports of massive online political trolling operations outside of Russia and China were first observed and reported on from the Philippines at the beginning of the Obama admin in the US.

Interviews with regional human rights groups at the time noted that the trolling operations in the Philippines were being used in the same way as repressive regimes in the Middle East had previously used them—to deliberately spread conspiracy theories so as to destabilize the information held by the electorate and to shift the power from independent media sources that provide checks and balances on power to authoritarian regimes which relied on the conspiracy theories to foment confusion and consolidate hegemony.

We saw the same thing occur in the US beginning in 2016, with the rise of Trumpism and its associated conspiracy theories known as QAnon. Was it just a coincidence that their origin point was also the Philippines?
