But a lot of people aren't even doing that. They're choosing to pick more lucrative career paths such as pushing JavaScript for cat photo social networks, working on ways to increase engagement for users to see ads, and whatever other ways FAANGs previously propped up by low interest rates, or startups propped up by VC funding, make money.

That work isn't necessarily easier, but it's not semiconductor manufacturing, or rebuilding American infrastructure, or being essential workers during a pandemic, or whatever other important but far less-paying work than consumer software engineering (or say, the financial industry).
The tickets are definitely pitched as "for regular commuters", but I'm going to take advantage of them for getting further out of Barcelona to cycle. I've spent 70€ on 4 tickets and expect that I'll receive refunds for 2 of them (by travelling at least 16 times on a ticket). A return ticket to a location 2 hours away ends up being close to 15€, so even if I get no refunds due to not travelling enough, it's still economical to buy the tickets if I'm planning on using them 2-3 times a month.
Defunding is unpopular with General population. It’s quite popular with far left.
Where the Howler here?
No, having money in holdings between transactions is as standard thing to do in many situations. Fully transferring the money with a “requirement” for a refund in a “timely manor” is what we have now. With some proper committing the money 6 months before takeoff, and not getting it back until the “timely” refund lands in their bank account 6 months after the flight is canceled.
I have kidney stones from time to time. NSAIDs + "deal with it" are an underappreciated pain approach - it's ok to be in pain. It's not OK to be in so much pain you're going to blind and writhing, but those are totally different things.
On Amazon, if you search for "Misxi 2 Pack" you'll see the various size/color options. I didn't do much comparison shopping, but they're easy to put on, haven't fallen off, and haven't broken.
This is obscurantism. If there’s no difference between marijuana and food, what’s with all the excitement and advocacy?

OP’s point seems to be pretty reasonable to me. If marijuana is outcompeting established anodynes it implies they are in the same category.
Godaddy just hijacked my domain
In all of these cases the real problem is that the US Government is unwilling to enforce the monopoly rules and/or there is a company who has become too big and is now the only source of information.

If alternative app stores were more popular (and useable at all on Apple devices) then Apple would not be able to unilaterally ban something.

I am not defending Parler specifically here at all - that place is a dumpster fire.
[OP] I have a domain registered through Godaddy and this morning the site went down. nslookup returned some random server IP address instead of mine so I thought the domain was hijacked (it was). Godaddy flipped it to a "Parked by Godaddy" website. Their customer support said I made this change and it wasn't their problem. I fixed it by logging into Godaddy and pointing my domain back to my custom DNS servers. Godaddy had changed it to use their DNS servers and served some ad page that also had a button offering the domain for sale. It looks like this has been happening to customers for over 4 years now. Have you had the same experience?

edit: two hours later and my DNS records are still jacked across the internet. Firefox uses DNS over HTTPS and routes traffic to cloudflare, which is 1.1.1.1, and I just found out anyone can manually purge their cache (neat!) https://cloudflare-dns.com/purge-cache/
Wouldn't this be more of an open source Ebay then, if the logistic components, which make up much of Amazon's value, are not there?
Maps of temperature anomalies often show the US -- and JUST the US -- as cool, with everything else much hotter.

It practically looks like a conspiracy by nature to make climate change happen: the one place on the planet ideologically predisposed to doubt climate change is the one place that doesn't get to observe it.

That's not quite true, and of course nature doesn't actually conspire, but wow it's depressing.

At scale it probably costs pennies to make a Percocet. If the drug maker gets $7 for a prescription that costs them $0.50 to manufacture, and they do that 150 million times in America in a year, that’s a billion dollars in gross margin.

Germany already has General consumer protection laws. That’s why you get a refund a couple of months after the flight was canceled.

That still doesn’t make it ok that you might have a large sum locked for up to a year while they figure things out.
Improper nouns are just starting out in life, with time they will become improper-nouns subsequently impropernouns and then if sufficiently misunderstood by enough people they might become propnouns.

Only the Soviets were daft enough to build RTGs using Strontium 90.

The United States did too.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory technical report "Strontium-90 Heat Sources"

https://technicalreports.ornl.gov/1971/3445605716035.pdf

Introduction

Compact electrical generators powered by heat from radioisotopes have been under development in the United States since the early 1950s for space, marine, and terrestrial uses. Essentially all the generators developed for marine and terrestrial uses have been powered by 90 Sr. This report summarizes the development work done by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Hanford Atomic Products Operation, and Martin Company, Nuclear Division, which led to the production of 90 Sr heat sources for use in the generators.

It was a natural choice since strontium 90 is an inevitable byproduct of operating any fission reactor, and was readily available as a coproduct from weapons plutonium production reactors. Making better RTG isotopes like plutonium 238 required additional infrastructure.
Yeah the URSS made routine use of RTGs throughout their territory (pretty logically as it's so vast and low-density electrification can't reach everywhere), and those routinely got misplaced. Things got worse after the fall of the URSS too e.g. a helo dropped two RTGs from 50m while airlifting them in 2004.
Separate implies additional -- otherwise there wouldn't be anything for it to be separate from.
Living in similar conditions in Florida, I know at about 4 inches per hour on a plain, you're screwed. It floods badly. And we have excellent drainage systems.
One genuine question: Will this accelerate the move to more automation by these companies? And of course the answer is yes here, but, what options workers will be left with once that sets in?
When you deal with large populations there's a _guarantee_ a solution won't work for everyone. Addressing the opioid epidemic is very difficult and you have to take what wins you can get.

* instead of using a two step process (add to library, then drag from library to timeline) users just drag media to the timeline. Makes sense. How often do you re-use the same clip?

* instead of dragging in a transition and having to re-set the values from the defaults to the value you want, users drag in once, set the values, and then copy-paste it around.

In both cases the users are doing the most efficient thing. With the real workflow in mind, having the media library take up so much screen space is a huge waste.

This is simply how markets work.

Currently the US has so much wealth disparity that billionaires will simply move from monopolizing one industry to another, whenever it becomes legal and lucrative. Ideally, we would have mechanisms that prevent this kind of consolidation to make the market work better.
How does this compare to ElectricVLab (https://www.electricVLab.com) which is also 3D?

You can in terms of labor supply and demand, just not in terms of capital intensity.
No, if anything they're less painful now, because the edges of the blocks are always rounded, and the number of pieces is greater, so you're less likely to step on any given type.

Some of the original small windows had pretty sharp edges.
Lol. I've certainly already made the joke that embedded systems are dear to my heart. I'd consider working a few years at a place like Medtronic just to see what I can contribute, but on the other hand I hear there's roughly a 2:1 ratio between requirements and lines of code.

Going through airport security is fun just because the TSA agents overreact as if the metal detector is going to kill me.
The humidity is also relentless at night. Sure it might be in the 70s and sometimes 60s at night, but when the humidity and dewpoint is so high up, it’s full on oppressive to sleep in.
Wasn't that joemazerino's point?
I've had pain killers prescribed maybe a half-dozen times and the only one for which pot wouldn't have been at least as good was the time I had fairly serious abdominal surgery—and even in that case, I'm not 100% sure weed wouldn't have done the job. Plus, they usually prescribe me way more than I want or need—I may take one or two pills, and they prescribe me six or eight or ten—which inflates sales for these companies while doing no actual good.

For most of those cases (plus some times when I don't/can't get a prescription but still feel really bad—which makes weed a super-hero because I don't have to do the "will I still feel bad enough in 24 hours that it's worth losing 3 miserable hours to driving and waiting rooms and lines, trying to get a prescription?" gamble, I just already have some on hand or can go out and get it in like 30 minutes, guaranteed) I really just need something that can let me sleep at night. Weed does that just fine unless the pain or discomfort is really extreme.

The problem is that the last ThinkPad really was happy with was the X61s . Once I switched away, I now see myself buying newer models in the hope they get their thermal issues fixed.
This is the kind of stuff protests specifically ignore and/or exploit. Are the police going to harass you if a ton of protesters gather just outside the steps to city hall and effectively block access just by sitting there and hanging out? Definitely. And that huge increase in inconvenience is exactly what gets your cause noticed and covered and in the front of peoples minds.

The trick is, of course, to not actually cause inconvenience in a way that hurts anyone (so do not protest obviously outside the doors of a hospital emergency room entrance) while simultaneously maximizing inconvenience for those that matter.
Everyone is different, but I’ve ended up with a lot of keyboards along my journey to find the perfect keyboard for me. I don’t think of myself as a collector even though I’ve probably got $3-4k in keyboard stuff now. There are a lot of variables in play and it’s difficult to know what you will like until you have something under your fingers (layout, slope or tenting capabilities, switches, keycap profile, keycap material, general aesthetics, etc). People do take it to ridiculous extremes, but I don’t think it’s a bad impulse to want to optimize the visual/tactile/ergonomic/auditory experience of the peripherals I spend a majority of my waking life interacting with.

The way a large part of the hobby operates on limited edition group buys also creates massive FOMO. I’ve definitely been moved to buy things now that I would otherwise not have because everything is now-or-never. That dynamic makes it different from other pure collecting hobbies with more of a secondary market for used or vintage items (pens, typewriters, coins, trading cards, etc).
There are other problems, including the cost of living crisis. This is an attempt to fix that. Maybe the tradeoff isn’t worth it, but it’s not very constructive to just deny that there’s one worth analysing.

This sort of policy, if implemented effectively, can help to mitigate high diesel prices. (Plausibly it won’t, by overcrowding the system to the point where it’s counterproductive.) It also helps to approach better pricing of externalities, since generally taking the train is more socially useful.

Covid is a problem, but, post-vaccination, it’s roughly as bad as flu, and the combination of flu and public transport is not really that much of a problem, from past experience.
Compare a Taco Bell worker with a Chick fil A worker.

One does the absolute minimum.
The other consistently goes above and beyond.

Both are fast food workers. All else being equal,
I would much rather hire a former Chick-fil-A worker then just about any fast food worker.

I have a list of former co-workers people that know they can call me up an I will either hire them or give them glowing recommendations.

Attitude is the major drive.
I'm not sure. Surface vs. volume is certainly and interesting thing that explains many scaling phenomena, but in this case, those huge radials had huge fins as well (correspondingly huger than fins on smaller engines in order to cool the much higher mass) to cool them under normal operations. So those same fins would equally rapidly cool the engine when descending quickly at idle power. So shock cooling is certainly an issue with big radials as well. Now I don't know the exact scaling relation, but I'd guess it's more similar to a smaller engine than a straightforward surface/volume scaling would imply.

Or to put it another way, the surface area of the cooling fins is not proportional to the surface area of the cylinders without any fins, but to the power output of the engine.

> Only the Soviets were daft enough to build RTGs using Strontium 90.

I mean, Sr90 is super cheap, and as long as it stays inside the RTG you're fine. The AEC actually tried Polonium RTGs in the late 50s.

The shorter half-life of Sr compared to Pu also means it's a bit less of an issue when you lose the source.
You're missing the most important one relevant to Tom Brady: He craves competition. That's why he came back from retirement. He's done this basically all his life, always been lauded for it, and doesn't enjoy the world without it.

Not quite connected to the main topic but Mat & Pat (originally 'Pat & Mat') [1] was the cult bedtime cartoon in the 70s and 80s in communist block countries. As the main (and only) two characters were great tinkerers I thought you might like it. Just to get a taste [2]

Or does Apple allow third-party apps to handle SMS? If so, that would be news to me...
From the AP article [1]:

> It relies on advertising identification numbers, which Fog officials say are culled from popular cellphone apps such as Waze, Starbucks and hundreds of others that target ads based on a person’s movements and interests, according to police emails.

> …

> On Monday, the Federal Trade Commission sued a data broker called Kochava that, like Fog, provides its clients with advertising IDs that authorities say can easily be used to find where a mobile device user lives, which violates rules the commission enforces. And there are bills before Congress now that, if passed, would regulate the industry.

It’s a sign of deeper problems if you can’t communicate with your (work) partner well enough to avoid these issues.

Your job isn’t a marriage and the analogy falls flat. If you’re having enough communicative difficulties that you’re considering failure, then you’re already enough in the shit that one or both of you need to move on.

OA here. Loved this piece as well, and it certainly got me thinking about a set of themes that led to this essay. Robin is an exceptional thinker in this space.

Just take a look at Canadian legal market. The grey market always outperforms it and many have begun shunning the expensive legal weed.

The problem isn't increased workload, or people having challenges or bad feelings about adapting to increased workload, it's spreading discontentment over someone taking maternity/paternity leave.

A manager and everyone else should be establishing that as much as their contributions are missed it's not a problem that they had a child or took the leave they are entitled to.
I guess it depends on what you define as a principle. You are in a manner correct, but saying that "nobody stands by their principles" is not nuanced enough.

I personally would broaden the definition that a principle depends on the context, and in the simplest sense a principle has to work in your favor in the long run. For example honestly is generally a good policy, but not if you are a Jew trying to hide your ethnicity in Nazi Germany.
From the actual paper:
"The difference is about 1.5-2%, statistically significant, and persists during the 20 business days following the (legalization) event."[1]

What's unfortunate about that? The (single!) author of this software deserves every dollar they make for the thing they made, software doesn't need to be open source to be good software.

If you want to stand up your own private copy, contact them and arrange a fair contract where you pay them a large and entirely reasonable amount of money in exchange for a non-transferable, non-competing license to run a private, offline instance.

Those efforts look impressive but no service will be a version (open source or otherwise) of Amazon until it can place a single tube of toothpaste in my garage 18 hours after I ordered it, which it just did thirty minutes ago.

Amazon’s “tech” stack, both consumer- and seller-facing is horrible and borderline irrelevant.

Their fleet of trucks and aircraft is not.
Alternatively it could just be that you are more aware of what corruption is going on in Germany because the press is not regularly rounded up and shot when they expose the wrong ringleader.
They’re not completely useless, but I agree that we overprescribe them.

I had a kidney stone with complications that required three procedures to take care of. The only thing that would touch that pain was opioids.

It was a miserable experience and, thanks to the opioids, I essentially have a four-month hole in my memory. They made me nauseous, dizzy and cognitively useless. I had to titrate off of them because I had developed some degree of dependence.

Still, in that situation I would take them again, the pain was unreal.
That's a backup for fridge, but hardly for a home: how about cooking? heating/cooling?

BTW the "ecosystem" is not there IMO because no one who design such systems use them, really. I have a modern Daikin hot water system formally "integrated with the solar" etc. It's not integrated AT ALL, people who sell it do not even know how to use it's crappy ModBUS interface and that is designed just to tweak it's functioning based on the current energy price from the grid NOT depending on a p.v. system and that's one of the state-of-art new gears...

Essentially IMO no one have ever tried to tackle nor maximum self-consumption nor autonomy.

And this is the very first issue. The second issue is that nobody ever try to push standards. They sold crap in a state in the past we would have call "early stage prototype" as a finished product.

Given actual prices no real revolution can happen in technical terms.
