Intestinal Permeability: An Overview (1995)
I don't think it's that simple. Old videogames look really ass on modern displays, even with ostensibly remastered releases that should be doing that tiny bit of blurring.
On the flip side, can cyclists become reflexively mad at every car they see? Consider how many a-holes are out there when you drive, those a-holes are also dangers to cyclists and everyone else. Should confirmation bias then dominate how we interact with anyone at all? (The reason I point out those aggressive drivers, they actually do violate more road laws than your average cyclist. I know that sounds controversial, but the majority of cyclists are out of sight on paths/quiet roads, obeying traffic laws. Meanwhile those aggressive drivers are speeding 100% of the time, running stop signs, even blowing red lights. The cyclists that are often seen and running around blowing lights, are a vast minority, just as are the overly aggressive drivers).

Hmm… their weights vary a bit more than I would have expected; in a little searching, I’m finding figures ranging from 1372g for a Gigabyte (which would be ~729 to the ton) to 2157g for the Founders Edition (which would be ~464 to the ton).

(Aside: this is the first time I’ve reached for Google in well over a year, because DuckDuckGo categorically failed to find anything even vaguely useful or relevant for my queries, whereas Google found plenty of meaningful results.)
Usually the bigger problem is exactly what is being done with that data. Most companies use it against the user (increase prices, make them buy more, deceive them, sell their data), but if it is genuinely used to improve the product and user experience it should be fine.

Now, I don't think an open-source project really needs usage analytics, because users can already get in contact with you and mention what they like/dislike about your product and what changes they expect.

On a website, or classic non-developer end-user project (e.g. website, web shop), customers rarely give feedback regarding the platform itself (or they rarely even know themselves what they want/how would they improve the platform).

This is a bad situation, if anybody ever goes in that basement for any reason ever, they're at risk of catching numerous diseases from the rodent feces they stir up into the air by walking around. Hantavirus is spread this way, and Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome kills about a third of the people who catch it. There is no reason to accept this risk if you have any other choice.
The article does smell a bit like "tech can fix everything" when the problem with WebMD and others is not that they are full of ads or SEO optimisation.

The simple truth is that medical care is more complex than just "headache = paracetomol". Some drugs don't work on some people, others might be more effective but more expensive. Some are not compatible with e.g. pregnancy or other drugs you might be taken.

As for symptom identification, many of us have seen "House MD" and should know that pain + swelling could be any of about 1000 conditions. This is why we still need Doctors.

Sure, us "clever" types might be able to self-diagnose 90% of the time but we need the doctor who can see the pale skin, the yellow eyes, who asks about recent changes in lifestyle or health, things that we could easily miss.

Now if you could encapsulate all of that on WebMD....

> it's just yet another symptom of how entitled these people feel to...well, anything

It is and it isn't. There is something particularly ugly that happens when you put a person in a car. A driver, when walking down the sidewalk, would never spit on a slower walker in front of them.

Cars (the actual physical things, the technology) amplify harmless human traits into fullblown sociopathy. Being distracted, impatient, inattentive, a slight sense of grandiosity ... in a car, these, sometimes even endearing, human failings become murderous, violent, degrading.

The anger drivers express towards cyclists is not innate, it is not a kind of anger that finds expression elsewhere. That anger is specifically the result of _driving in an enclosed metal battering ram_. That kind of sociopathy only arises _in a car_.

The real ugly part here is the car itself. Cars are dehumanizing technology because they create an incredible power imbalance. Once that power is frustrated, because of a cyclist for example, the driver will lash out. When men are reminded of their impotence, they turn rageful. Thousands of years of literature and history are evidence. It takes a complete paradigm shift, a whole new set of community values, to counterbalance this. America (and apparently UK) has not been building these. Other countries have. It will take decades.
Do we see pets in jail? No, but most people wouldn't say they are things (even though, in German law, they literally are), they are more or less intelligent beings with agency.

I don't see the correlation, to be honest. A good chunk (but still a minority) of the people believing something doesn't automatically change the law, anyway, does it? :/
I don't think this is right. The podcast and YouTube space is incredibly competitive. Everyone has the same shoulders to stand on.

Nobody watches top tier YouTubers, rather than others YouTubers, because of the platform. The platform is absolutely saturated with others, making identical content. It's the same with podcasts. The same guests are almost always making rounds to all the other podcasts, yet people prefer Joe Rogan over all the other podcasts the guests are on. Why?

The top tier people have some mix of personality traits, physical traits, work ethics, or talents that separate them from everyone else. That ability to be so massively separated is what should be considered "impressive", since it's provably not trivial or common.

I’m always impressed by someone getting to number one, on their own merit, because I know the reasons are extensive rather than simple. Well, except for something like OnlyFans.

Pakistan is a ridiculously flat country. As a greek, i cannot stand flat terains even one bit.

Maybe flat terrains have the downside of flooding. I am not a priest of the climate religion, but maybe it is the case that flat ground doesn't guide the water to that one place, a river or something, and the water spreads all around. I am not familiar with water falling from the sky anyway, maybe a priest of the climate religion is better informed than me.
What you're talking about is nuance, and there's unfortunately little-to-no room for it in modern discourse largely because of opinions like yours which could be summed up as "if this person doesn't robotically toe the line, then the dumbs will believe things we don't want them believing."

Strategic lying is employed for the "greater good" in the context of this way of thinking frequently, the most egregious example probably being Fauci telling the public not to wear masks because privately the government believed that there wouldn’t be enough protective equipment for health care workers -- they didn't want the dumbs to panic-buy and leave hospitals vulnerable.

Not looking to get into a covid debate, just pointing out that even governments will lie to keep the dumbs from doing something they don't like, and I think that's bad.

Walmart made the explicit choice to:

1. Allow this scammer on Walmart's platform.

2. Allow this scammer controlled access to Walmart finances

3. Allow the scammer to access the list of buyers of this scam coming from Walmart

Just because the actual item is a data-gobbling scam from another company, does not exonerate Walmart from enabling and furthering this fraud. And Walmart materially benefits from fraud, given their cut.
The march towards all sales being flea markets continue :(
If it is capped then you replace “200m” by the minimum of “200m” and some agreed on amount, e.g., 10m. This protects the investor in case the first equity round has a surprisingly high valuation, which would dramatically dilute them. At the same time, instead of agreeing on a valuation for the initial investment, you are agreeing on a theoretical upper bound on the current valuation.

One my my close relatives recently purchased a "new" Dell computer from Amazon. I noticed the performance was very slow when I happened to be using it. I looked up the service tag, and sure enough, the parts inside of it were not the parts that Dell originally put into it in the factory. Turns out a third party seller made quite a business out of parting out Dell computers, replacing their innards with junk, and reselling them.

Also, there's plenty of fakes and counterfeits that I've received from Amazon/eBay/etc. They're almost trivial to find.
Snake oil per se is an analogue of fish oil, effective. It's use as a pejorative term dates to false advertising of petroleum as actual snake oil in the 19th century. The biggest problem was it wasn't well processed at the time, and was not really edible like petroleum derivatives can now be made to be.

And I generally don't take it at face value, I accept it as a glitch in English.

Considering Mississippi is one of the states most reliant on federal aid, I think maybe we should just say the whole state is a failure then? Maybe all of Mississippi should deal with the implications of raising their taxes even more. They’re a red state so I assume a state government official that campaigned to raise taxes wouldn’t win as easily as someone who campaigned to get federal money.

The article i link says they’re getting ~10B from the feds so they’d need add a 15% tax rate on their 3M people earning avg of 25K to pay for that. On top of the 5% they have. Thank god for them 25K income is so low that they only pay federal tax rate of ~12%.

Maybe a poor state that voted against handouts and critiques others from getting outside funding should pay their own way?

Or maybe they’re too poor and need help from the rest of society and we should help them because it’s a kind human thing to do, and not judge them for their poor financial decisions.

> The better answer is that marketplaces should have to have reasonably consistent return policies. Push the risk back onto them so that it stops the fraudulent products.

A good return policy is insufficient. Amazon is very good about accepting returns. Amazon also co-mingles their own inventory with that of their marketplace sellers. In the past, I have ordered items from Amazon, being careful to choose "Shipped and Sold by Amazon", and have received items that are obviously provided by a marketplace seller. It's great that I was able to contact Amazon and have them issue me a refund. They didn't even want me to bother shipping the item back. But that process still incurred a cost to me, namely:

* extra time not having the item I wanted and could trust

* time and effort to acquire a replacement item from a different retailer

* physical waste, since I discarded the item I received from Amazon because I couldn't trust it

* frustration

Personally, I think the better answer is a system that doesn't put this (minor but non-zero) cost, and its alternative of accepting an inferior and/or less trusted item, onto many, many consumers.

> with CGI, the uncanny valley hasn't been surmounted

I'm not so sure about this. While some scenes are still obviously using CGI, I think a lot of CGI in movies now passes unnoticed, even entirely digital characters.

We certainly notice when those characters do things humans can't do, of course, and when budget or schedule or both result in things being pushed out too early, but how would we know when digital characters look natural on-screen? We wouldn't!

The current situation is hardly better. The same HDMI cable that used to be $10 and worked well is now still $10 but will likely fail to work because it's actually $1.50 from Aliexpress.

It's not like people are complaining about a new super-cheap tier of products but rather about being ripped off by paying about the same for less quality. And that's before you consider knock offs that have the potential to kill your or burn your house down. For me, nothing that goes into my body or into a 120v mains comes from Amazon. The risk is just too high.

If I were a man in power and i wanted to protect myself from investing effort into raising children that don't carry my genes, I'd definitely try to establish a taboo around women having sex with multiple partners.
And maybe it's possible that if you don't also have taboos around even talking about sex, then the former taboos wouldn't be sustainable. But it seems just as likely that a society that talks freely and openly about sex would be one in which paternity would be easier to establish, because it would be common knowledge which sexual partners a woman claiming to carry your child had.

It seems like it should be a topic covered by Diamond's "Why is sex fun" but I can't remember an exact section devoted to taboos (nothing in the index etc.).
Cats tend to kill small garden birds though, which are very common. Wind turbines take out eagles. I don't think a domestic cat could kill an Eagle. Although one of my cats thinks he could, and might be tempted to have a go.

> other than specifying a focus ("video encoding expert" or similar)

I am not making a dismissive comment here. I'm saying that expert is only useful for saying things like "video encoding expert".

And that a "video encoding expert" may be great in a very narrow way only involving the math surrounding video encoding, or may be a 10x developer in addition, but the "expert" label is orthogonal.

I'm certainly not going to pretend to be a video encoding expert in the sense of working on the encoding code at least. I've actually worked on projects that have used video encoding multiple times, and in that sense, yes, I did just "drop in and become an expert," in some cases learning ffmpeg on the fly and in other cases integrating C libraries and dealing with frame buffers.

And that is what a 10x developer can do. I don't feel the need to "talk down" to anyone, though, but if an expert makes a claim I will expect them to be able to talk intelligently about it and defend it if it seems wrong.

… yep.

I've the same issue with this as with Github Copilot.

I will admit, it is technically impressive, and something I would love to use, as someone who cannot draw worth a darn. And it is that I cannot draw that I do not feel morally comfortable with this: I am using a — complicated, admittedly — tool to just derive art from the unwilling talents of others. (Admittedly, my skill in prompting & editing might matter, but that's true of "normal" derivative works, too!)

I totally agree! Mower safety was also one of my worries once. It can be deadly even without software controlling it. A few days back in Poland a mower threw a piece of wire straight into a boy's heart (the kid is all right now). That being said, there is no way for the operator to constantly monitor what is happening around the mower. A set of sensors and software can be better at it. We can install cameras and LIDARs all around the mower and take care of safety better than humans do.
There are challenges though:
1. You need to design the system in a way it fails safe. There is no explicit norm on how to do that yet. We can adapt existing norms from machine and robot safety for that purpose, but we risk missing something.
2. All the specification efforts right now are going in the direction of humans supervising software. The RC-controlled/autonomous mower is supposed to be always watched by someone. Firstly, humans suck at supervising stuff, it is a very boring and frustrating task, during which it is easy to get tired and lose focus. Secondly, people will quickly find a better task to do in the meanwhile: trim the hedge, do the detailing, do some weeding, while the mower is doing fine :)
3. Safe vision systems are expensive. It is hard to support a 360 deg. field of view for both cameras and LIDARs at a competitive cost. There is a huge temptation to reduce the BOM cost to compete with human labor.
Now it is time for a shameless plug: personally, I am involved in making an autonomy kit for z-turn mowers. It is not an easy task.
It's a simple legal ass cover. Should the manager / lead care if there's a side gig in play while all other needs are being met? No, of course not. However, what if the side gig becomes a bit more than planned and now your team member isn't delivering, gets sick more often, or is otherwise grinding themselves into the ground (and doesn't recognize the need to get out of that situation)?

You can care about your team member's welfare and support them 100%, but part of that support should be defining the rules of play so that all parties know what the agreement is.
