Dog piling? I've made one comment on the matter.

I know that old growth is not the same as a freshly planted pine farm. But that's not my point, my point is the author talks about reduced forest cover in aggregate across the land surface of the earth, which is not true, then admits to limiting it to old growth only and hilariously claims that it strengthens his point. It doesn't. When you basically say "forest cover older than 100 years is all that counts" of course the numbers look bad, you're preventing the measure of any repair to the forest cover by definition.
‘Something to hide’ in English often has a negative connotation meaning deliberately trying to deceive or something bad they did and don’t want you to know about.

Better would be to not use that phrase as most people have something they wish to remain private or secret, without it being anything sinister. Like their password for example !
> Some examples: Audio books / podcasts (Audible), shaving supplies (dollar shave club), sports betting (Draft Kings), crypto and crypto betting (Stake), VPNs (Nord), online classes / tutorials (Skillshare), etc.

It's been awhile since I've listened to podcasts like that, but two other heavy advertiser I can recall are: online mattress companies and SquareSpace.

I've also noticed that newspaper-affilliated news podcasts often are full of advertisements for CEO podcasts (which appears mainly meant to pump up the CEO's prestige/name recognition).
Sometimes encoding time doesn't matter. Archiving is done once in a lifetime. I encode everything with "--lax -8Vepl32" which takes ages but since it runs as a low priority background task I don't care.
Also, you can use heuristics to choose the right blocksize instead of brute-forcing it. If the algorithm is clever enough you might achieve slightly better results at almost zero costs.
What you describe already exists, a CV driven cheat that uses mouse inputs / screen reading.

Would also work for League of Legends "auto-hit" or "aura" cheats that will automatically trigger an ability aimed perfectly if someone enters a radius around you.

However: This would possibly require a hardware peripheral and you could analyze the inputs a-la captchas.

We thought a lot about the fairness of allocation. Large funding for tiny packages is a clear edge case of the StackAid model.

We are thinking through how to give subscriptions control over projects and organizations to exclude, so you could choose to exclude tiny dependencies in your subscription.

That said, defaults matter, and so it's still worth considering the implications of small projects getting a large amount of funding:

1. Subscriptions/open source repositories might be ok with a rimraf getting a lot of money, especially if it funds those developers to build other things that are high impact.

2. It might also inspire other open source projects to potentially compete for those funds in terms of offering something more or encouraging tooling that incorporates that functionality, thus creating a smaller set of dependencies.

Re: Electron getting much less than these smaller projects in the simulation.
Electron getting less money is a function of the NPM packages we discovered and sampled. That could or could not be a representative set. You could argue that Electron shows up more in non-public repositories. It doesn't mean that Electron would get more money than rimraf, but the gap could be significantly less.
What if reality happens to be 'racist?' What if there naturally happens to be a gender / race to performance correlation at their company at this time? Do you think they will perform their review and stand behind their 'racist' findings? Or do you think they will give more benefit of the doubt to certain people until their layoff gender / race distribution more closely matches their idealized a priori distribution? I think that's the debate here.
I wonder if the respondents understood the consequences of disabling advertising.

Like was the question “do you want to pay to use Kwazy Kupcakes, lose access to Kwazy Kupcakes, or allow Kwazy Kupcakes to show you ads?” or was it just “Should Kwazy Kupcakes be allowed to spy on you?”

Because I have a hunch it would be far fewer than 60% if they understood the consequences of destroying the revenue model of their shitty free to play games they use to numb their brains at every available opportunity.

They list as examples "grants, projects, trainings, tools to augment contributor capacity, and support for the legal defense of editors". I agree that it's a bit misleading to put 'grants' first if that's only a small part of what they do.

I'm not sure what they intend to communicate with the word 'direct', either in "Direct support to communities" or "Direct support to websites".

Very inspiring overall. I've always heard good things about the company but never knew of the founder. There's something about seeing one carry such dignified ideals throughout their life, without wavering to societal expectations, that is so admirable.
I'd guess fridges are annoying enough to be without one that many people who can afford, either through having cash or access to a credit card, would indeed be willing to pay for the second fridge while waiting a few days for the first fridge to ship back and be processed before they get the refund.

Or maybe by the time they've fully made up their mind to return the fridge, it's often after they've first decided there is indeed a better fridge out there, and already chosen where to buy it in the day or two before they start a return. In which case the time to advertise to them would be the window after purchase and before initiating a return.

Maybe... etc.

I don't know for sure, having neither worked at Amazon nor tried to market fridges. But I have seen many examples of this sort of retargeting of people who've just bought something with ads of the same type of thing, where general intuition, even that of experienced marketers yet alone normal shoppers, made it seem like a dumb idea and yet the data actually did prove it was a great use of advertising.

So maybe your gut instinct is better than the ad conversion predictions Amazon's code is making, with all their data. But I'd be surprised.
Redesigning the article editing UI is pretty darn important when the only thing that ensures the site stays up to date is attracting new editors to work on it. Nobody wants a dead Wikipedia with hopelessly obsolete and misleading information, even though it would be incredibly cheap to host. And the Wikipedia partner projects are just as important as Wikipedia itself to the broader ecosystem of open content and open knowledge. Wikipedia needs its sister projects, and money spent on them is in no way "wasted".
> ... prone to accidentally getting minor details wrong

I know a prosecutor who had to investigate the statements made by the husband of a person who (presumably) had drowned themself in their pool (she used workout weights to keep herself at the bottom). The statement to be investigated: "Those were her weights. I never touched those weights!"

Now all of a sudden maybe his fingerprints are on the weights and that statement is untrue...

I also got to learn that they scoop the weights into a bucket because I guess they need to keep them submerged in water, otherwise the prints will wash off.

The year that this blew up the DigitalOcean team (I was on this team) met with nearly 100 open source maintainers over the course of weeks to ask their opinions on Hacktoberfest and how we could make it better. We opened up these roundtables to anyone who would attend, and had great attendance from major projects such a Kubernetes, CPython, Gentoo, and others. We took all of this feedback and immediately changed the program. Many maintainers in the community have lauded us for these changes both publicly and in private.

We did listen to the community and we made the program better.
There are affordable homes all over the US. Some even have large lots, with running water, sewer, electricity, cell service and Internet service. But these areas aren’t on the coasts, so less people want them. Perhaps the wfh culture will change all of that? A Zillow (or similar) search will back up this assertion.

And thus we perpetuate the injustice indefinitely!

Your essential argument seems to be that once an injustice is over one generation old, it is as if it never happened, no matter if the after effects continue to cascade into modern day.

You cannot just magically pretend an individual is not part of a society.
There are two justifications, one, for recording - 24-bit is the standard in the studio yes (and more than you need for that context indeed), but 32-bit is more and more the standard for field recordings where the hardware is capable of it and it provides genuine utility, where you often have extremely soft and subtle sounds captured that you want to increase in gain to a more useful level.

Also, once inside the digital world, there are many processes you can perform that add new musical information to the original sound that might be higher in gain but that you want to preserve for downstream processing until you're ready to actually "print" and quantize the final product, at which point, yes, 24-bit will be more than enough.
How about they start spending their money wisely instead of growing infinitely? That way they can keep Wikipedia up and running for the next decade or so without bothering us with these solicitations.
By the point that heat pumps are going to need supplemental heating, the heat pump is probably operating under a 2.0 CoP (and maybe close to 1.5), so at some point, electric resistant heating (CoP of 1.0) isn’t that much worse than a heat pump in super-cold temps.

(The huge win is the 99% of the year where supplemental heat isn’t needed.)

It's not one 800lb gorilla but a whole troupe of them mentioned in the article:

- a capricious and arbitrary permitting process

- multiple opportunities for groups to cause mischief, with some like Calle 24 barely disguising that they are shakedown rackets

- excessively restrictive zoning

It essentially boils down to this: there are haves (people who own their own homes like many SF supervisors and like to see them appreciate, and Boomers benefitting from rent control and paying a pittance) who have political power and new entrants who have none. The solution will not come from within, but from the State preempting local control, like Scott Wiener's heroic efforts in Sacramento like SB35. If a housing project is 50% affordable, it can skip most of the rigmarole, as occurred in Potrero Hill:

> as to whether having the police remove the man from the crowd would have been justifiable if it were a cemetery.

Of course it would be wrong for the police to arrest people for being disrespectful in a cemetery. What would be alright is if the owners of that cemetery wanted them to leave the property, they refused, and the police were called. That's why all of the photos of Westboro protesting at funerals were them on the sidewalk facing a cemetery.

In audio production, the relevance of 32 bit audio is that it's using the same 32 bit float representation of the audio that most of the signal processing stages are also using. In contrast, when people talk about 16 or 24 bit audio, they are customarily referring to an integer representation.

In principle, every time you convert from the 32 bit float back to 24 bit integer, there's an opportunity for a careless human to screw up the scaling, and throw away some of the available integer range. Rinse and repeat until you have an audible problem.

So this forms the basis for an argument in favour of keeping the audio in a float representation for as much of the production process as can reasonably be achieved.

I don't see any benefit in 32 bit representation for delivery of the finished content, but I suppose that if, as part of the production process, you're transferring the audio online between different sites/people/whatever, then having lossless compression that works without having to convert back to integer might be useful.

EDIT: Just read the thing more carefully, and realised that it's specifically talking about 32 bit int, NOT float. So right now, I can't see much practical use for this.

You can be flexible in the initial validation - it's reasonable to allow William Jefferson Clinton to go by Bill Clinton if he wants to.

And it's reasonable to allow name changes - it's not unusual for people to get married, or for companies to rebrand.

But why let people change names without repeating the validation process? It's not like people are getting married several times a year or anything like that.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about with “the average concrete foundation is 200 lb/square foot” but I assume you’re talking about allowable bearing pressures. First there’s two things to note: (1) a 2400 sf house is living space, its foundation’s bearing area has little relation to this number, especially if it’s not slab on grade and (2) the actual loads going into the foundation are not calculated in a way even remotely close to what your post implies. Regarding allowable bearing pressure, the allowable bearing pressure specified in the building code for the most likely soil condition can be found in CBC 1806 and it is 3000 lb/square foot for sandy gravel (assuming good fill was placed for the original house and the solar addition sits on similar structural fill). Your Seattle garage would be supportable by a 3 ft by 3 ft foundation (call it 4x4 after foundation weight is added). A 480kip house could be supported by a 12 ft by 12 ft slab. Even taking the lowest presumptive value (1500 psf for clays, which is incredibly unlikely to be the bearing strata for a modern or even recent home) would only double these areas (8x8 and 24x24). 64000 lbs of reinforced concrete is almost 450 cubic feet (17 yards!). This is 2 entire concrete trucks’ worth of concrete, which is absurd for a residential foundation. Assuming a 2 ft thick slab this is 225 square feet of bearing area. This is enough to support your ENTIRE hypothetical home, not just to support a solar array. More likely the slab is under 18 inches thick, or maybe even 12. So it’s entirely believable that a 4 story building with 2400 sf of living space (or 3600 or 4800 sf) exists and is supportable by 17 yards of concrete.

The architect is right, you are wrong. There is simply no reason to have this much concrete for a residential solar addition.

For your information and to head off argument: I am a licensed civil engineer in California. The rules and procedures for little shit like a solar array foundation can be followed by almost anyone who can do simple arithmetic by using the CBC, you do not need a license to do it correctly. You need the licensed engineer’s stamp so that there is someone (insurance) to sue if things go wrong.
I hear grumbling from a friend on the data engineering side of my company. It takes an enormous amount of effort to stay on top of their data pipelines, and they still have lots of failures in cleaning, transformation, orchestration, and reporting. One product wasn't updated in 5 months !

They've tried everything airflow, informatica, alteryx, etc.
They've even built their own custom data flow etl in python.

I often wonder if the real issues they face is more about expectations and standards such centralized logging, easy report/artifact generation, ops management, and hiring more developer oriented data engineers.
