I agree with this. It's especially important to use opinionated frameworks (Angular being more opinionated than React) when working with a lot of contract developers who rarely care about internal development culture or standards. With Angular, there are a lot of prescribed ways to accomplish common functionality which you could solve any number of ways in React or even more ways in vanilla JS. A cohesive and experienced development team can do amazing things with whatever tools and frameworks they decide to use, but less cohesive teams benefit from opinionated frameworks.
which effectively means it has infinite memory, does it not?
I was in a similar situation; though I'm roughly a decade younger. I grew up in the BBS era, and experienced the internet first as gopher and ftp access (archie!) through the local schoolsnet. I bought "Using Linux" by Sams in 1995 solely to get access to GCC, because a C compiler was extremely difficult to come by.

And yet, within a year they became commonly available, for DOS and Windows even, thanks to DJGPP. The local schoolsnet added SLIP support, and we could access Delorie's website. While Microsoft and Borland were still charging an arm and a leg, and GNU couldn't be bothered to support non-free systems, it was Delorie who created that bridge to common users and opened the world of C programming to us.

There are some tricks to reduce the number of important mutations.

Germinal cells reproduce very slowly, so the eggs and sperm have fewer mutations.

Also, cells inside the guts have some cascade method. The cells near the wall reproduce very seldom, but the intermediate cells reproduce faster, and the inner cells reproduce even faster. The inner cells that are reproducing fast die or get washed away, so the big number of possible mutations is removed. And the slow reproducing cells near the wall create more cells to replace the intermediate cells that replace the inner cells.
> Which is why government is set up in reverse: The citizens tell Biden what they want. The citizens are the boss, after all

Again, that's some great theory, and it's how it's supposed to work, but it doesn't. If it did, the government wouldn't be busy misdirecting reasons why the prices are ludicrous - ie, they have to sell a fake narrative to the general population, and most of the population won't question authority.

This is, in principal, why things like the electoral college exist - the framers knew the general population was busy living their own lives and either wouldn't pay enough attention or would deliberately be misled for political gain.

So while yes the government eventually answers to the people, and in theory election outcomes will be based on what people want - the problem is when the people are deliberately misled and then vote based off half-truths and lies, which is what's going on here.

High natural and petroleum gas prices are the Administration's own doing - the result of explicit domestic and foreign policy decisions the executive and team have made... but they've done a great job convincing casual voters they had nothing to do with it. That's where the way government is supposed to work starts to fall apart.

You don't get hired for, say, a role that requires Svelte / React expertise by pointing out "I did it in vanilla JS!" - so you are correct, industry sets the rules and your CV if you want a job from them, needs to reflect this.

There are also software engineering (not programming) reasons, mostly because they set standards for stuff like state management, for why they're useful - helps with future maintenance, documentation etc. when you don't have to interpret a custom self-made framework and teach it to hires.

Oh legitimate carbon offsets will be in short supply, which you'd expect to raise prices. No doubt about that.

But fraudulent carbon offsets? Those can be produced in whatever quantities buyers are willing to pay for.

> A domestic energy tax would make local manufacturing uncompetitive

That's what tariffs are for? Products from countries that don't tax carbon could just get a carbon tariff added on import.
How do we already know this? Is there actual studies that show this impact?
Since delta is paying to convert a coal plant to a solar plant, carbon offsets create perverse incentives like allowing you to “sell” or hold hostage something you were going to do anyway, keep inefficient things around so you can sell offsets lager, or start off doing something inefficient or bad so someone can pay you to stop.

For example, as a fisherman it might be cheaper for me to buy some old, shitty, super-polluting boats, run them around for a bit generating huge amounts of emissions, and then go shopping for offsets. With the offsets I buy nicer boats that don’t pollute as much. But without the offsets I might have either not been fishing at all or gone straight for the nicer boats.

Basically, carbon offsets in theory allocate carbon savings where they are most effective financially, but in practice create structural inefficiencies (incentivized to start polluting to fix it). Also, they are prone to double counting. If I open a wind farm partially funded by carbon offsets, if I claim that the farm is removing as much CO2 as it actually saves, I’m double counting along with whoever paid for the offsets to be “carbon neutral” when there is indeed still a net amount of carbon being put in the atmosphere

It isn't a problem with ads. The problem is the misalignment between the business model and the product, and also the misalignment between the business model and the main users of the system.

Another better system? Look at the early days of Google, they never would have gotten off the ground without very generous support from academia and specifically their university. What if it had been kept a university-based product?

And yes, it could have reached its current search capacity and still remained a Stanford-based initiative. Stanford has the resources. We might not have gotten any of the other google products out of that, but Google seems to cancel them all anyway, so I don't see a huge difference.
Oh, it doesn't necessarily work. But it's a natural response, and typically the alternative is even worse!

The thing I always wonder is, in habitats where birds would normally have to deal with feline predators, how is the domestic cat worse than that? Any birds in environments that have feline predators would already be adapted to avoidng cats, unlike say, small Australian fauna.

I can understand the damage inflicted by cats in environments that never had a very efficient bird predator like cats (e.g. New Zealand and other islands). But in North America there's the Bobcat, Lynx, Ocelot, Margay, and Jaguarundi. Even without the domestic cat, birds would still get eaten in sizable numbers by cats. Sure there are a lot more domestic cats out there, but without civilization there would be a lot more wildcats out there eating birds.

Maybe the impact is simply that outside house cats exist in numbers that are not supportable for a normal wild predator due to the fact that house cats have meals provided by humans to sustain them. So house cat numbers don't reach an equilibrium with their prey the way a wild cat could. Either way I suspect that the impact on bird populations by domestic cats is often overstated.

They clearly know that if they have rights to 75% of the bandwidth available to these satellites, they are in a great position. They have the means and the drive to create and implement a profitable model for using satellite coverage and then when the also-runs want to come in and copy them they’ll have to compete for the leftover 25%.

Flash still exists if you want it, it is just called Haxe now. Both major and a number of minor game development platforms can publish to the web. Checking itch.io there were 120 web based games uploaded within the past day (includes updates I assume). I would guess there are more now than ever before, but because there are more easily available commercial games for very little money on sale more people just get commercial games. Or download free games, which gives better controls than a browser. Although the games market in general is so much larger now that I'm not conviced there are fewer people interested in web games than previously. I suspect it is more a case of people who were personally interested in web games previously and aren't now thinking that it is no longer a thing.

For every story like this, I imagine there's (at least) one other where some green engineer set up a simulation with garbage assumptions, and argued that since the calculation was done by <insert advanced software package>, they must be right.

I could tell you many stories of witnessing otherwise smart engineers run the worst possible simulations I've ever seen, but argue that their results were correct simply because the computer generated them.

More impressive is to build a website that can be sent in a single TCP packet. This means a site can be no more than 14kb compressed and should serve everything in just a single request. Would have to base 64 encode images as well. This would probably end up as a meatier website but still blazing fast.
This video covers a particular type of transistor known as the Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs). These are more commonly used in analog applications like amplification and signal processing rather than digital logic (though they can be used in specialized digital logic circuits).

Today, field effect transistors (FETs) reign supreme for most IC applications such as CPUs and digital logic as they're more scalable and efficient than BJTs and have a very different structural design.
> Yes and no. What are those apps really doing that's fundamentally so much more complicated ?

They have more views, more data, more data that needs to be kept in sync across multiple views. You cannot rerender (and inject/replace) every time the underlying data changes. It works up to a point but once you cross that rubicon it because very painful. I don't know how better to say this or explain it. I write webapps professionally and for side-projects, maintaining any of them in vanilla js would be a non-starter. I have even tried that for "smaller" webapps that "don't need a build step", it doesn't work. SCSS is vastly superior to CSS, TS is superior to JS, and templates that support things like `v-for="item of items"` or `v-if="condition"` or `@click="doTheThing"` are superior to HTML templates with event handlers, loops spitting out html, and conditional rendering of blocks.

> You mean like generating forms/controls ?

Yes. Those things make this all more complicated. I've built exactly what you have in the past and at a certain point it falls down hard. There is a noticeable lag when you change data and go to re-render. If the user is focused on an input and you re-render they lose focus unless you make sure to reset the focus after the render. If you wanted to do something like "As the user types re-render an element to show what they typed" (think example/preview, or even something like putting the name you are typing into the UI as a header) it gets really gross really fast. So you might start having smaller render areas "I'll just re-render this 1 part" but that also gets complicated very quickly and at the end of the day you are just building a worse framework without the benefit of the community.
It's true. Basically every estimation or inference problem can be solved by MCMC. The only reason not to do so is a lack of computational power.
Ah you mean Munro, who owns a ton of Tesla stock and has a commercial interest in promoting the "quality" of Tesla vehicles?

Because, objectively speaking, Consumer Reports, Car and Driver, and thousands of actual Tesla owners think that the build quality of their cars is crap. Literal 90's era Kia crap. And notably, unlike Munro, CR and C&D buy their cars anonymously so that Tesla can't goose the reviews.

Tesla has the highest consumer satisfaction ratio and the highest costumer retention ratio in the industry.

Objectively false, and indeed Tesla's abysmal customer satisfaction (nearly the industry lowest) is one of the reasons why CR stopped recommending Teslas.

Tesla have top ranks in safety

As does every other EV with a frunk. And a number of ICE vehicles like Subarus. The safety review tests rank cars collectively, so Tesla are in the top rank but are not the top-ranked, because that's not how the safety reviews are scored. And to claim otherwise is just another example of Tesla's deceptive marketing.

Their structural engineering with their castings is ahead of anybody in the industry.

Yes, it's so good that the Cybertruck has been delayed another year because Tesla discovered that they don't actually understand how structural engineering works. (Here's a hint: car panels are shaped and curved because it provides additional strength; creased flat panels are actually the weakest design you can use for automotive purposes on the basis of mass and need tons of reinforcement.)

They have the largest global fast charging system and the single best integration of cars and charging.

This is the only true statement in your comment. It's too bad (for Tesla) that they're planning to eliminate their only competitive advantage by opening it up to everyone. (Literally the only reason the several dozen Tesla owners I know still own Teslas instead of better EVs is because the Supercharger network is 10000x better than the alternatives. They're willing to put up with the shoddy build quality of the car and the absolutely horrific customer service because the charging experience dominates.)
So, as expected this is the response from the BW people. No one got hurt, no one to be blamed. Grab a beer, turn on your Netflix and be happy.

Bing is worse in that it makes it seem like you can go to e.g. page 100 and will say stuff like "1,000-1,006 of 659,000,000 results", but it's really showing you the results from page 5. Then, for example, in page 5, 6, 7, etc. you can see the same results between them, just shuffled around. You can't even tell how many results you're really getting.

This is just motherboard manufacturers segmenting their market and overcharging the high-end so they can reduce costs on the low-end. If you need four PCIe 16x cards you really NEED it, and you'll pay $300, $500, maybe $1000 per board to get it.
Oregon does with the infamous kicker rebate.

But my point is more that governments (ideally) collect taxes based on projected spending (a budget), so of course spending will roughly match up with collection. Although, in reality, governments spend far more than they collect via off the books retirement benefits for government employees.
