I'm guessing the pot smoking got edited out? But the clunker of a line is the bit about "both of us mysteriously unaffected by vertigo". Unless it was prior established that there should be vertigo, and vertigo is a useful metaphor for illustrating other elements of the overall story/something about the protagonist, that line contributes nothing and doesn't belong, especially followed by orgasm: an orgasm which included no vertigo? In tight writing, very phrase and clause of every sentence should serve a purpose toward the overall story, and hopefully frequently more than one.

> Just one of the ways people work to keep salaries up ;)

I get a bigger paycheck by explaining tech to business in business terms so I'm not sure that's a valid approach after a particular level of salary.
Reducing usage of any kind should be a non starter (unless it’s inefficient use like high flow taps and large flush tanks). The argument should always atleast start at how do we maintain current water supply without drying out our sources. Desalination plants + solar + salt drying flats seems like a no brainer for California.

It’s a common pattern in teaching - if your students find the subject too hard, it’s almost always because you’re shit at teaching. Previous generations were more inclined to tolerate this, younger people tend to have a more productive attitude - they understand that shitty sources of information can be easily replaced with better ones.
The following tip from OP could be rather useful.

git rebase --exec 'make test' main

The --exec <command> flag allows you to run any shell command after each rebased commit, stopping if the shell command fails (which is signaled by a non zero exit code).

This has something to do with Qualcomm not providing support beyond that. Now newer pixels use Google's own chips, they will be supported for 5 years. Samsung's exynos get 5 years of support as well.

A shoulder mounted anti-tank rocket was once turned over at a gun buyback in San Francisco:

I think it is probably worth a lot of taxpayer money to get that off the streets.
More broadly, without wading into 2nd amendment arguments and just viewed as a public health issue, it seems possible that fewer guns in the general population equals fewer gun deaths. Whether these buybacks make any dent at all is a different question - one that would likely be easier to answer if political pressure hadn't halted government studies of gun safety

I think you have the causality backwards. In both cases, the publishers are trying to maximize profit.

A movie full of violence won't sell as well in Germany. It isn't want Germans want to go see. Vice versa for Americans and sex.

I think only the Solver type from the article acts as a force multiplier. Have a strange bug that you have been trying and failing to solve for a few days? They will probably fix that in a few hours and unblock you immediately.
Phase 1 trials are used to determine drug toxicity. All that reault really says is that the new drug won't itself kill the patients. It still needs to be compared relative to the standard of care in larger phase 2 and 3 trials.
> they spend most of their time in meetings not doing much of anything at all

This is largely dependent on the company in my experience. I've been a Staff at one company where I had to actively protest meetings. I would get in trouble for not showing up. I had to point out several times that 1-2 hours a day of non-meetings was not enough to be effective no matter what level a person is at.

At other (typically smaller) companies, I do feel like Staff engineers can really have a multiplying effect. Based on the OP, I personally fell into "The Solver" category and would bounce around helping out teams who were stuck on something particularly troublesome.

> are they really essential to the success of large engineering orgs

I don't about know this one. In a large org, I was at my most ineffective. I do think they are essential to small-to-mid sized engineering orgs though, even if it only means they help out by knowing all the ways *NOT* to do something.
In theory yes. In practice no because they're running Android on this instead of a lighter OS...
Really? Compared to, say, Marconas? Calfornia almonds seem bland to me but maybe ones from elsewhere actively taste bad or something?
That's the rarest type, of course.
> The best method is when the rich get water and the poor don't?

Give each citizen / resident a basic water allowance that they don't need to pay for (or do it by tax rebate) and charge high prices for usage above that. If rich people can afford to pay prices that would be comparable to desalinating water and trucking it to their house, let them have a lawn. This is how Carbon taxing in Canada works, everyone pays X% and it is offset for poorer people by giving them money several times per year (some provinces give an equal money to each person rather than based on income).

> When rain falls on my land, who do I pay, and how much? What about water from an aquifer?

Some places already don't let you keep rainwater without a licence and the government has the right to see how much and what you are doing with said water. Similarly for aquifers, put a meter on it, big fines if you get caught bypassing the meter.

> If I decide to dam all the water from leaving my land, is that okay?

Nope. Not only is this hoarding of resources you might not have legal right to possess (see above about rainwater), but depending on the size of your reservoir it can pose a safety risk to those downstream.

> Can Colorado decide to dam divert the entire Colorado River from reaching downstream?

There is the Colorado river treaty that legally prevents this. From a practical standpoint it ridiculous.
In plain English, hell yes.
How many people it affects?

Original post says

I could have written the same comment!

I leave incomplete projects when I have gotten what I want from them. Many times it is just for exposure to a library or language or pattern.

I learn by doing so to fully grok something I have to use it which leads to this situation.
Um, no, I don't think language works like that. Let's try to rephrase that with gold: "You CANNOT steal the gold under my mattress. You can steal my keys or break my door, walk in and then move the gold from my house to your car and drive off.". Don't you agree the above is equivalent to me stealing your gold?
One that I think might be missing is The Therapist:

They are the glue that gets buy-in and agreement between people talking past each other. They demonstrate how a healthy organization can lead a team by setting guidelines for collaboration, communicating, being constructive, and removing barriers or silos between key stakeholders. They can resolve disagreements and unblock political stalemates with their unilateral authority and uncanny conflict resolution skills.
Speaking only for myself, I'm the one they ask when there's a problem no one else on the regular team can solve, and I don't have someone technical "above" me to ask for help. I can only collaborate with people and drive the investigation and communicate the results. So that's sort of the Solver/SRE role. I don't know how to calculate "force multiple" for that scenario because in the absence of me solving it, the teams would basically limp along without a solution without fully understanding the negative impact.

I'm also the one that sets certain best practices in code repositories, and I've learned that identifying a best practice and assigning it to someone else to introduce doesn't work very well. At those times I have to dive into the code, restructure things, and then present, so that the other coders can actually refer to it as an example. This in addition to helping team members know what is in-bounds and out-of-bounds for their story, and helping with code reviews. This is roughly the "tech lead" role. This has some sort of force-multiplier impact just by doing things like guiding the metaphorical ships away from the metaphorical icebergs.

Finally, there's the classic "architecture" role, where we identify tech paths for the org in general. Recognizing when a well-targeted effort can replace an inefficiency with something smoother. Like I had to take it upon myself to set up elasticsearch and kibana correctly, and structuring the code to report the correct dimensions. Or structuring how our graphql queries worked so they didn't pound our graphql server. Or placing an in-memory cache on one layer of servers (this basically saved our launch). That's also stuff where it's hard to calculate "force multiplier".

So I dunno. I'm talking about an eng organization of 50-100 people, so maybe that's not big enough to be valid for your question. But the point is that while the role is necessary and is a "multiplier", it's difficult to calculate because it's not as simple as just being 5x or 10x faster than another developer for a well-defined task.
I heard that exact same sentiment in the 1990s. I remember people in seattle complaining about people moving from california. (didn't check colorado at the time)
Not sure I like that knock-off copy of WordWise.

As I said, you'd have to find out the characteristic impedance at the u.FL connector first, and then select the appropriate coax (obviously at the frequency of interest).

BTW does the PoE doorbell you linked actually have an ethernet network, or does it just use it for power?

I fully concede my original comment should have replied your parent, but the following replies were responses to the contents of your comments (Frankenstein, etc.)
> I understand that Meta needs to prove they're not a monopoly, and apparently the way to do that is through other companies laying their cards on the table, but my goodness would I feel uncomfortable giving core business plans, outlooks, and associated data to a huge (and arguably unethical) company like Meta.

This seems too considerate to Meta. IMO, part of Meta's intention is to hurt SimulaVR. It wouldn't be by accident.

Given that this is from the NY Post, it is probably the results of some deceptively worded push poll. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that it was on their web site with no constraints on how many times you could answer.
Airlines have huge economies of scale due to network effects. Most customers will only buy a ticket if they can reach their final destination on a single airline with only one (or at most two) transfers. Code share agreements with partner airlines only partly mitigate this.

The other major factor which prevents airlines from ever sustaining high profits is pilot unions. The pilots will demand most of the extra profits, and usually get it because a strike instantly shuts down the entire airline.

If you have lines in an unknown state, step 1 is to put them in a known state. For power line work, this involves grounding all the phases and neutral together at both ends of the section you intend to work on. Good luck ringing a dead short with your home inverter/generator/etc.

It is appeasement. It is also faux sophistication.

An actual sophisticated analysis would take into account the reasons Putin invaded: He was not challenged in an effective way previously. He has tried nuclear blackmail before. He has reasons to think useful idiots believe his stories about wonder-weapons. Etc.

A sophisticated analysis would project what giving Putin his "winnings" would do subsequently: His stated goal is to renew influence over what had been the Soviet Bloc. That means Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and other free and democratic nations he feels entitled to control.

Elon is at least as wrong as he looks to be. So are his fanbois. Everyone else knows Elon is burning his brand image at a furious pace.

I once read an article that wrote about different cultures typical curse words. It explained that the principle of cursing is to break a taboo. If you know how a culture curses, you know what's holy to them.

* In North America, cursing often revolves around sexuality.
* In slavic countries, cursing involves the mother.
* In middle eastern countries, it involves the father. (Not sure if I remember that one correctly, though.)

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3002194/ is the one I was mainly thinking of. This is about indoor solid fuel burning. They looked at coal and wood, and found very strong effects in coal (duh) but also some effects in wood. But, I didn't see any comparison to cigarettes or secondhand smoke from either of them.

It would be really surprising to me if it were the case, because secondhand smoke certainly seems like it creates more particulates in a house, since most wood smoke goes up the chimney. Plus, if you smoke, you're probably not only smoking for part of the year, like with fireplace use.

But, my intuition is not a strong argument, so that's why I'd love to see the study.

It's quite easy: you download this Zero Knowledge Confabulator utility from github and load it up into your TAILS instance.

I thought that was interesting too. I mean, the reason Nigerians do so much better in the US than everyone else is because, of all the "black" population groups, the immigration process is most strict on Nigerians. There is a reason it is more strict on Nigerians than Barbadians, or Bahamians, or Kenyans. And that reason is not because Nigerians are smarter.

You compare the average Nigerian in Nigeria to the average Kenyan in Kenya, or Jamaican in Jamaica, or black American in the US, and you'll see an entirely different story.

There is something to these racial differences, and it can't be explained away by, "Well, if i only consider the top 0.01% of whatever group then they can do as well as the run of the mill 25 percentile Asian!"

Now I will concede that "mixed" kids outperforming all other non Asians was a surprise. But other than that one positive surprise, all this information is surprising in the other direction. Asians outperform at a level that is undeniable. No one is even in their league. Heck, no other racial grouping even catches the "mixed" kids. And unless I'm reading that data wrong, at the top, Asians are doing 3 times better even than the "mixed" kids. And 5 to 25 times better than any group other than the "mixed" kids.

We have to up our education game, because that is pathetic if this data is factual. (And I have seen no reason presented in these comments to believe it is not.)

I think this stems from two things:

1. Americans are always on the run, living at much higher pace, ready to take off at moment's notice.

2. The US is located more to the south than Europe, so the climate is warmer and drier in most parts, so your shoes are much cleaner (no snow, no mud).

Or maybe it's just a movie convention: like they want the movie character to be able to take off without wasting time on finding their shoes. Similar thing happens with how phone calls are shown in movies: there's a very short greeting, and after the conversation is over people just hang off, no pleasantries at the end, in the interest of air time.

The motion basically boils down to "the court should stop the trial to force me to close the deal because I've agreed to close the deal, but if the court doesn't stop the trial, then maybe I won't close the deal."

(Paragraph 4 basically insinuates that Musk will appeal the decision if he loses the trial. If he really does want to do what the trial would force him to do, why would he object to being forced to do it?)

This is likely to be another example of why it's a bad idea to torpedo your credibility with a judge, something Musk has very thoroughly done. Saying "on my honor, I will do what I promise to do" is only going to work if the judge believes your honor is worth something to you.

Also, he's saying that he has no choice but to propose stipulation of his loss... and isn't actually doing that at the same time? Why not make other efforts to show good faith, like withdrawing counterclaims with prejudice? It seems to me that this is less about actually committing to the deal for reals this time and more about avoiding things like, I don't know, sitting for a deposition.
You could do that but you'd have to create the ics file manually and not every platform allows you to share ics files. My original use-case was Github. Wanted to share invites for https://github.com/hello-rust/community. Github prevents sharing ics.
Another thing is that people could edit a link in-place to e.g. update the time without creating a new file.
