I was hoping people would use it to explain what they wanted to talk about, since with Slack and SMS people just go "hey" and don't explain what they want, and speaking is easier than typing. But I guess I forgot that people on voicemail just say "hey it's X, call me back when you get this".

It would be nice if Slack had an away message that was sent back to the user when they message you, rather than a status that nobody ever reads.
If you're upper-middle class (which describes the majority of tech workers), you aren't part of the working class, by definition. Most definitions of working-class include individuals in low-paying, unskilled and/or manual labor jobs.

If you're a tech worker in a major city and your take-home pay is $5000 and your rent is $1600, the fact you're spending $X/3 on rent is a choice. You are probably living in an area of your choice, have some amenities of your choice, you have a place to yourself or at least a private bathroom, etc. The working class isn't afforded that luxury. The fact someone you know lives in a $4000/mo high rise you cannot afford does not make you working class. If you could quit your job and survive for a year without going on welfare, you likely aren't working class. If your car broke tomorrow and you could get a replacement without significant financial hardship, you likely aren't working class.

I don't know if that's actually your salary or rent, but such numbers are typical for tech workers in places like SF and NYC (and of course many make significantly more than this). If your rent is significantly higher than the median mortgage ($1200) you probably aren't working class.

>Pew Research defines the upper class as adults whose annual household income is more than double the national median.

>Household income, as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau, refers to the combined gross cash income of all members of a household, defined as a group of people living together, who are 15 years or older.

That is ~135k (pretax) in the USA, and perhaps 40% higher for a state like CA. This is actually a rather conservative definition: take the median family income (which can include two working adults and also working children), double that number, and include anyone making _more_ than that.
It is unlikely any of the planets in the solar system could sustain humanity or life if the Earth is lost in the next few centuries. Thousands, at most, would live on the planet. We've always had an ecosystem to rely on, and even a severely damaged one would be more survivable than the cold wastes of Mars.
No matter how much we advance and abstract things there’s always a trade-off. You can’t escape the reality of having to toil unless someone else has already done the toiling for you. It’s like the natural law of thermodynamics transcending through human experience (can’t create anything for free).
And what happened after that? You're not being serious if you just end there. Liberal democracy, capitalism and the metric system in most of the world...
Perhaps developing that technology on another planet is a good idea?

I don't know about you but I hate developing on the production system. It's just too high stress.
This Motor Trend article is a weak regurgitation of Karin Kirk's 'Yale Climate connections' promo blog for green energy, which uses US government's https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/atv.shtml claims.

There are a lot of very confident claims here but little substantiation other than academic postulations.

' The final loss of energy is from auxiliary electrical components like heated seats, lights, the audio system, and windshield wipers. Taken together, these accessories can consume up to 2% of the vehicle’s total energy intake.'

Ironically the complete reliance in BEVs to run accessories off their batteries is one of the major reasons battery life is so poor.

This sort of of vague proselytizing isn't helpful and arguably misrepresents BEV and to a lesser extent hybrid maturity IMO.
PS.: I don’t know what I said to trigger you, but you don’t need to continue posting arguments to other comments I make across various threads. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Well then we’d better hurry and get started building colonies now, as the destruction of humanity on Earth might be in a year or a kiloyear or a megayear—we simply don’t know.

Don’t wait for the drive to start clicking to make backups.
That’s patently false. The reservations are still observed by the government. If all of them were broken the reservations would just be gone.
> Mars colonization isn't happening. SpaceX's Starship might be flying within the next year, yet there has been no substantial development of Martian habitat technology.

"Isn't happening" was similarly a slam against the Falcon 9's reusability prospects not long ago. It should hardly be shocking that no one's making Mars habitats until the details of getting them there are known; it's entirely possible Starship will receive significant redesigns during development, just as F9 did.

> Are they building a bridge to nowhere?

Yes, just as ship captains in the 1500s largely didn't build their own colonies in the Americas. The Mayflower made other trips back and forth, providing transport to settlers who were responsible for deciding what to bring and how to use it.
The FDA retroactively banned PFOA residue from PTFE coated stents and guidewires. So you would have had people with PFOA contamination during endivascular surgery prior to that.

PFOA-free PTFE guidewires suffer higher risk of delamination, i.e. flaking of the ptfe coating which becone an embulus in your bloodstream.

The FDA does an amazing job at keeping us safe but the more evidence we have about the effects of novel substances the more I am biased to applying a cautionary principle.

In my pipe fixtures at home I will stick to hemp to seal the threads. If in the future I happen to need a stent, then I'll worry about it when I cross that bridge. :)

A thousand tons of molten radioactive lithium needs containment as urgently as a melted core.
I'd say the challenge on earth is political. I'm not sure if changing the minds and actions of billions of humans is easier than removing all the perchlorates from Mars.
> 60 percent of respondents state that long wait times to check out are a major concern while shopping in a store. The report also revealed that 80 percent of retail executive respondents believe that smart checkout is one of the most important solutions to invest in over the next five years.

The local Kroger instances here have these handheld things you can use to scan items as you put them in your cart rather than at a checkout station.

I don't exactly see a large number of people using them. Like, I think I might have seen one, once?
> All Mathematica Guidebooks - Michael Trott

> Mathematica is wild, these books are wild, they are old but still oh so inspiring.

Great recommendation. Are these so old? I skimmed through [1] and they seem still on print and relevant?

What is other inspiring Mathematica literature? I have been considering Mathematica to cover some of the gaps Julia (and R or Python have). Particularly in the symbolics camp [2].

It's also nice Mathematica is free on Raspberry Pi, but it might be too slow to be of any practical use.

That's precisely my point. It's always possible to move individual companies or factories to somewhere rural with sufficient tax (etc.) incentive. But the initial artificial influx of capital fails to catalyze additional natural investment. Such places always remain "in the middle of nowhere."

I feel this line of thinking leads to no where.

What is "in isolation"? I'd honestly be shocked if the majority of people buying this pedometer were buying it due to an ad of any sort. Seems more likely they simply needed a pedometer. They needed one because they wanted to count steps... etc, etc, eudemonia
I once had a fight with my partner on a hot mic zoom call because everyone else was late by a half hour (let’s schedule a meeting after lunch, ope lunch is late) and zoom had a terrible UI. I checked many times to see if i was muted and always was… but not really.
Don’t bother, this commenter has just been following me across threads today. I think I said something they didn’t like somewhere else.
I add heat back when adding butter, but I use use less heat than before.

Also I realised that I mixed up step 2 and 3 -- I spread the oil before it starts to smoke.

Also, sometimes I cool the pan by holding it under the tap with a dash of water. Then it cools down instantly and stops smoking.

I think what's happening is that the oil polymerizes due to the heat and creates a thin film on the stainless steel pan, similar seasoning cast iron cookware. Afterwards you can cook the egg on low heat and it doesn't stick. But the film comes off when washing, so you have to do it again every time.
There is a tool from Nx in similar space, where they cache test results based on code paths.

They charge by hours saved, for example they calculate how long it would have taken to run those tests and when they serve the cache instead, they charge money for it.

Not sure if it could work in your case, but if it's saving hundreds of engineering hours, charge based on the saved time (and not on the normal runtime)
The value of the Lira dropped by 44% in 2021 alone, and is expected to be as low as 70% by the end of 2022. So the use of fiat currency in Lebanon seems kind of on par with BTC in that respect.
Amazon could buy up physical cinemas and the just book to their own shops. The platforms are actually pretty good value. It would be better if you could have a more video store approach and then watch whatever from any platform. But the current system isn't that bad. And it's getting films made that otherwise wouldn't.

we have important potentially civilization destroying or, in some models, extinction level problems coming at us in the relative short terms. That is to say that I don't think he means we need to fix every problem on earth before going to Mars, but that trying to set up Mars colonies or similar escapades while not dealing with climate change would be useless because whatever we built in that short term on Mars is going to need extensive support from something here.

I don't get it. Why people are trying to recreate the horrors of the office? Is it because of luck of human connection? In my opinion everyone who's advocating "meetings" - formal or not - is just unable to express thoughts in writing. You have to learn to communicate asynchronously and become a better writer rather than trying to recreate the dysfunctional environment that you are familiar with.

> there isn't much you can do against people drinking alcohol, having their phone on speaker or just urinating in the middle.

What? Nothing about public transit is different from libraries, restaurants, cabs, or any other public space. You wouldn't say, "well, you can't go book shopping because you know book stores - people just urinating in the middle!"
Presently it does not appear that the current cataclysms predicted for Earth in the short term (500 years) will result in destruction of the biosphere or even human extinction.

Early humans and their ancestors have experienced two major population bottlenecks in the past. We may well see a third relatively shortly, but that is very different from extinction.
It's because for a lot of Americans, capitalism isn't "working" for them. As wealth continues to centralize, their quality of life isn't improving and class mobility is stagnating.

People aren't necessarily advocating for communism, they are simply frustrated with the current american political and economic system. It's easy to project a false dichotomy where there isn't one.

This is also why populism is on the rise - people are simply facing a sliding quality of life, and our leaders seem useless to do anything about it.

I have a feeling that many people seeing this will assume that the aversion to specific content is akin to an ordinary distaste for blood and gore, jumpscares, or other "hit or miss" aspects of film. For most of my life I would've agreed, and to be honest I still agree now if I speak only for myself.

For some people, it's not a matter of taste and it's not a matter of getting over it. Call it weakness if you want, call it mental scarring; either way movies should be entertaining, not traumatic. I can't speak to dogs dying, but flippantly watching "Last Night in Soho" with somebody who really didn't need to see that convinced me to start checking the IMDB parental guide before settling on anything.

The structure of the referenced website (long list of yes/no categories with explanation) seems a bit of a bad fit compared to just enumerating potentially problematic features. I guess it enables categorical searching, but it seems pretty bleak to browse through a filter like this.
The first three minutes of that movie are accurate, because a meltwater did in fact halt the thermohaline circulation and end an interglacial period in the past. Of course the thermo part dominates over the haline part now, and the rest is garbage. Tropical storm dynamics over the Rocky Mountains, gimme a break. But my whole atm dynamics class went to see it in a theater and it was fun times.
Maybe my experience with money changers colors my view.

The only time I've used one and not a bank is when making land crossings between countries in Central America. The money changers are just a random assortment of dudes walking around the bus depot ready to swap between 2-4 different currencies. And I've only done it for a small amount of cash to have on hand in case of immediate need.

I imagine a cottage industry would pop up as a result of situations like Lebanon given the government enforced cash shortage. I remember reading an article a while back, which I'm failed to dig up, which described a similar system appearing in Venezuela as inflation was getting out of control. Money changers would come to you to swap bitcoin for other currencies.

But I understand your point and this would be a sketchy alternative for the amount of money discussed.

Neat, but I wonder what the motivation for this is. I assumed that for the majority of projects ninja itself adds little overhead to the total build time.
Except the person who was fired is also sad. So if they splurge on a $5 well drink it'll taste like a 12-cent glass of sterno.

every time, and they eventually catch on.
You did trigger me. Read your first reply to me. Your comment really pissed me off, it was intentionally rude. "New flash"

Either way it got me curious and I started reading your other comments and I realized you're just not a very nice person and highly mistaken about a lot of things. You're not very logical or scientific or academically inclined. So I just wanted to help you out and teach you some stuff that's all.

Just responded to a couple comments you made. Just trying to be informative. :)
I found Apples other Premiere series "See" far more relatable to my workplace environment and how we operate as teams.
OctoPrint is what inspired me to create https://printnanny.ai/ - I originally released PrintNanny as an OctoPrint plugin over holiday break!

I ended up rolling my own Linux distribution (PrintNanny OS) to roll out over-the-air updates and share files/jobs/profiles across a mixed fleet of printer controller softwares (Moonraker API/Mainsail UI, Repetier, OctoPrint).
Who among us isn't doing macrodata refinement, really
Every case described in the article seems fine to me. The lives of those dead people had negative value and they clearly agreed with this assessment. The idea that human life has inherent value is fundamentally Christian, and as the Western world slowly dechristianizes its culture - it disappears. On both sides - people are no longer afraid they will go to hell for suicide.

The future is going to be much more extreme. I expect euthanasia to become the leading cause of death by far. Imagine being 70, slightly disabled and alone today, with mental capacity severely diminished. It's too late for any realistic chance of antiaging. There's no rational reason to continue living at that point. Suicide seems unthinkable now - but if it was culturally accepted millions of old people would do so each year. Rich people may as well choose suicide by cryogenics - that one definitely should be an option.
> always going to be something threatening us even if it's mainly ourselves

It's always "ourselves". We as a race are our primary enemy and your desire not to see the problems we create for ourselves here and now makes you exactly the reason we will suffer. I used to fear human extinction, now I'm resigned to it.

> It's much easier to be an "escapist" by dabbling in distractions on earth than it is by building rockets or working on the science to make life possible on Mars!

Yep, I'm resigned to it.
Likewise, this is quite possibly the worst suggestion or best troll I’ve seen in months.
Introverts view them as horrors. Extroverts love this stuff.

> The whole marxist obsession with "alienation" is a perfect example. They are largely delusional about the plight of the working class in non-capitalist systems.

You make two claims here. You provide some examples of the second claim in the second paragraph; for the first one, do you have any justification for why obsessing over alienation is bad?

More precisely, do you agree or disagree with the premise that alienation exists (in some form) in the capitalist system? If you agree, do you think workers would be better off if they were not alienated?

If you don't agree that alienation exists, how would you describe/judge modern IP rights and corporate hierarchy structures?

Would you say it's a good or bad thing that all of an employee's work product (during and outside of office hours) belongs to the company (assuming you accept my premise that this is enforced)?

Expect to have to install an app for every store you want to go into over the next few years with all the accompanying snooping. This tech is a wet dream for retailers.

Who needs store cards when they can just see in realtime what you're picking up and putting back, along with your demographic data.
I've been impressed by the Amazon Go stores. They seem to work pretty well. I'm glad to see Amazon at least trying to spread this technology. I enjoy using it.

I do think the palm reading thing will be a potential vulnerability in two regards. First, maybe as a "hack". Is there a way to fake the palm scan? Something you could put on your palm to assume someone else's palm print? If I use this service will I have to be concerned with thieves scanning my palm print? Second, I think it will also invoke a "creepiness" concern among the general population when Amazon starts wanting your palm prints.

I am also confused as to why this falls under the AWS umbrella. It seems very unlike other AWS offerings. This requires adding hardware to your store.
Assuming the other person hears you clearly and assuming the other person listens to it at all.
Yes it totally is. You have to become good at doing great work and staying focused in the time window you have and prioritize the hobby. For example do 10 hours of work in 8, then cut out and do your hobby. Mine this summer is running and climbing. Its counter intuitive but doing well in the hobby will feed your 9 to 5.

In your case you're talking about a specific technical hobby which is also cool. Just code all of it on your personal comp not during work hours. Once it get big hire a lawyer and get a llc. Don't limit yourself, identify problems and find solutions. Be an engineer. You got this.

Walmart+ app allows you to scan items with your phone as you pick them up. Then, when you reach the self-checkout, you just scan a QR code and you are "checked out".

> For children involved in bullying relationships, schools ought to refer these cases to the State.

The legal system is a really blunt tool to deal with things like this, and doesn't have the capacity to investigate problems like this either.

And we're pretty clearly not just talking about "violent" bullies, but often those with behavior that may be just barely on the side of legality. But not all legal behavior is (or should be) tolerated in a school community.

> There must be limits on their authority.

There are. The Fourth Amendment still applies, but courts have chosen a slightly more permissive standard for school administrators than police officers in view of in loco parentis and the needs of the school environment.
When I was younger in my career I enjoyed this, but not so much anymore.
Recursion shines when you recurse into many different functions. Function A, B, C, etc. all being called multiple times from each other based on conditions in the data, never returning from the calls. VMs can be like that, also some regex implementations.
