There seems to be an unspoken assumption that all protons (as in: a set things that seem to have similar external properties and behaviors) are actually identical "inside" or - to put it another way - all "built" the same way.

Other than Occam's razor, why is that assumption considered valid?

Have we verified this experimentally?

Or does some complex piece of math show that only one possible internal structure can lead to similar externally observable behaviors?

You say you don't deride it but you just made a judgement call by calling it "squandering".

EVs are going to screw low income people via Sky High Electricity prices.

Electricity will become an expensive commodity.

Look at prices in the UK and Europe. It's already starting to happen (but not because of EVs). Just wait till EVs become pervasive. All that demand for electricity.

I don't know if any marketing could have helped Firefox not lose to the shitty dark practices from the three other browsers you mentioned:

- Chrome: Spam ads for Chrome on all Google services (incl. YouTube and Google Search which probably are the two most visited websites on this planet?)
- Safari: Make it the default and prevent users from using any other browsers (on iOS every browser is Safari under the hood and will reports as such to browser census)
- Edge: Make it suck less and also make it really hard to remove it from your system or switch to a different browser

Defaults matter and, especially when they are this toxic, they are hard to beat :/
This comment conflates inflation with monopolistic pricing/cartel pricing where either a single entity or a group of entities collude to drive up prices. Monopolistic and cartel power should be restricted or regulated. So for example, I don't believe this merger should be approved.

Corporations are in the business of increasing profit - Covid didn't magically incentivize companies to become more greedy than before. Corporations are always greedy. Why leave any profit on the table? Take for example, a tech worker that has learned to switch jobs every few years, increasing base+bonus with each job change. Are they greedy?
The thing is we do not live in ordinary times. Last summer temperatures made many established trees in the cities close to getting killed. Anything with less developed root system and without regular, generous watering probably fared worse.
Farmers hardly abandon their crops or are clueless about agriculture, but in many regions this growing season was a disaster.

From large scale, low initial investment and high yield tree planting: pick one. Any even the most amateur gardener can figure out that growing things successfully requires checking many boxes.

Last but not least: in climatic emergency maybe instead of as we can see a pipe dream of low cost, no maintenance, native species only eco-forest we may start to think about planting almost anything that grows successfully and does not burn too easily.
Technically the comparison is not totally fair, that Hubble image was taken in visible light, while Webb's in infrared. Dust blocks visible light stronger, so background stars are effectively hidden from Hubble, but not from Webb. Here [1] you can see same field in visible and close infrared taken by Hubble. Webb of course shines in all the fine details and faint stars number.

Does anyone have tickets I can buy?
Yeah, our office now seems to always have at least 30 people at it, maybe as many as 75. Hard to tell for sure, I've never been, just judging by pictures people have taken at company meetings and the cacophony of chatter and office noise I hear when someone on my team hops on a meeting when they went into the office (only one person on my team does, and even they don't seem to go in more than 1-2 times a week).

But there's still plenty of people WFH, and plenty of people who couldn't come into the office if it was suddenly mandated (which it hasn't been yet, just encouraged), because they live several states away.

I'm almost certainly giving up a better bonus and performance review by not going into the office regularly and playing office politics, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. I shouldn't have to make that sacrifice, but I never really played the office politics game even when I did go into the office every day, so not a big change there.

But 30+ people should be enough to get that "in-office watercooler" experience for those who like to work in the office.
> Presumably you understand how DNS records (and more generally the entire domain name system system) work. Do you think your system would work for someone who did not have any of this background knowledge? I feel like this is still a significant barrier and at least part of the reason why most people use gmail/hotmail/yahoo etc.

I do, but I didn't need to. For my email for example I was one of those early adopters of Google's former free tier for consumers with their own domain. My DNS provider, like most, had a wizard where I just told it my email was hosted with Google and they set up all the correct records for me, MX, SPF, etc. The same sorts of wizards would be trivial to set up for other major services supporting self-hosting if they were popular.

Those who need more custom setups could still edit the records themselves, but for most people using a major hosting provider it doesn't have to be hard.

There's also of course an obvious opportunity for some sort of meta-SRV record that'd allow a user to tell their DNS host that they want to set up service X with provider Y.tld and the DNS host could look up the relevant records and set it up accordingly.

What I'm saying is it's not an insurmountable problem, or even really that big of a technical challenge, to make control of your own online identity easy. It's just not in the commercial interest of enough of the big players.
You don't need to remember the method, you can deduce it from two simple facts:

1. In a perfect world, 12 o' clock is where sun at its highest peak in the sky, 24 o' clock is where sun below the horizon at its lowest.

2. If your are in northern hemisphere, the sun's trajectory is slightly off to the south.

Now try emulate the sun's rotation with your watch's hour hand.

2. Content Encoding are not done at a regular interval. And most of their work on ML and other quality requirements does not require fixed interval either. i.e They are schedule to work in Spot when AWS price are at its lowest.

3. Netflix get huge discount anyway.

For a linear city it would be practical to shunt cars off and onto the main line, so that throughput is a relatively constant function of safe stopping distance between cars in the event of emergency. So people traveling a short distance don't slow down ones traveling a long distance.

Your question is can be posed as “is there a well-behaved resonance of the gluon field in a proton, that lasts long enough for it to be identified”. It's kinda like identifying a bubble in a pot of cold water vs a pot just starting to boil vs a rolling boil.
Notice how every star twinkles the same way. I thought it was because of how the mirrors were arrayed. But this time the twinkles are different.

I do kinda get a bit more "oomph" from the old picture because it feels like it's been punched out of space rather than being a wispy thing in the way (e.g. you can see more stars through it.) Which is bonkers because the new photo is amazing.
Yes, at 6:00 you have to know which side to put north and south, and from 6pm-6am it will be North instead of South between the hour hand and 12. If you know the sun rises in the east, though, you can account for that and the trick can still be helpful.

Despite attempts to be above the drama, I'd bet someone at the Pentagon is tired of Elon's predilection for frivolity and drama in his tweets, and has a somewhat personal vendetta while-trying-to-appear-impartial against the man. Hey, how did we find out about this in the first place? A pentagon leak? At an opportune time, which was later picked up by the media? That or a Twitter info "leak".

A bunch of our local Albertsons turned into Hagans as well, including the one near my house- in the days before the changeover, Albertsons swapped out all of the old and broken refrigeration units from the remaining stores with working ones from the soon-to-be-Hagans.

They've since gone back to being Albertsons so I don't know what the point of any of it was.

Adding onto this a little: I was shocked at how volatile some food prices are, and how much some have gone up recently

https://www.fao.org/worldfoodsituation/foodpricesindex/en/

Depending on how you set your endpoints, you can basically come up with any number for inflation you want, from 1.7% to 20+%

I guess this is all well-understood and taken care of under the hood by processed food companies, though, since the Big Mac Index has pretty steadily held to an inflation level near the CPI
Marketing plays the most important part in running a successful business. if your marketing game is not strong enough, chances are you will probably fail. It is a way to tell everyone and the audience knows that you exist too in the market. Obviously, one prime way of advertising and marketing is social media. Social media serves the most significant and pivotal role in marketing.
I think the comparison is (rightly) meant to highlight the different imaging capabilities of the two telescopes.
It often does though, which is why having the right people in high positions is important. The CEO is the face of the company and for better or worse the company will be judged by their actions to some degree.

You've hit the nail on the head. I worked at Kroger for 7 years, and I remember how stressed out management was that year. The stock had tanked, especially after Amazon bought Whole Foods. We had hours cut from 2016 to 2021 every year with entire departments consolidated and removed. Every new hire became part time with next to no benefits. Old workers were forced out, some for no reason and others for good reasons. I really am glad to be a customer and not a worker anymore. I'm fairly cynical of the merger as well.
I assume it takes some time to aim the telescope.
They are already serving access denied replies, so I assume they can identify the browsers via user agent or similar?

If so, returning a bogus file that blocks everything and adding a comment in that list asking the developers to use caching or mirroring the file should be fine.

I wonder if those browsers honor the list when fetching the update though. Would be awesome if you could just add easylist and lock out further requests right on the device.

No offense intended, but this is a biased and exceptionally naive viewpoint. If you had an equal amount of awareness of the mission and mandates of FBI and the things the Bureau is already overwhelmed with, such as national security, terrorism and counterterrorism, espionage and counterintelligence, organized crime, illegal drugs, illegal guns and other weapons, racketeering, transnational criminal enterprises, white collar crime, violent crime, human trafficking, significant cyber crime, public corruption at all government levels, and how difficult and time consuming even simple investigations can be, and that FBI does not investigate innocent civilians without reasonable suspicion, probable cause and due process, you'd realize they literally would have no concern about Defcon even after one of their own agent researchers prepared a report showing they were mocked. We really do not want to know what horrible things FBI is working against because it would cause significant psychological damage to any not already in law enforcement.

NSA will be even less interested because their mission excludes domestic activities, and they are probably tapping every foreign telephone and monitoring and recording massive amounts of foreign Internet traffic, upwards of 2B emails a day, as well as radio and television broadcasts, and printed media. The amount of data NSA sifts through on a daily basis is mind-boggling. It would be astoundingly irresponsible if they wasted any resources whatsoever on Defcon, even a single employee to sit in a booth for a day. It is far more likely to be arranged by Defcon organizers rather than there being any interest whatsoever in a commercial convention and its participants, who are more than welcome to fill out and submit job applications on their own if the interest exists. NSA attracts so much talent as it is, they would never need to poach hackers from Defcon. The conventions these agencies attend you never hear about and would never admit the happy go lucky public participants of Defcon. I am not suggesting there isn't talent attracted to Defcon, only that the fact that these individuals even attended make them inappropriate candidates for recruitment by NSA, which is a spy agency. Spies do not show off their tradecraft in public or walk around with their mouths agape overwhelmed by the flashy commercialism of public conventions. By and large they are extremely patriotic and take their jobs deadly seriously, and Defcon could never be described as serious by design. Defcon is for fun, it is commercialized entertainment.

That said, federal agents are as free as anyone to moonlight even for entertainment purposes so long as they don't violate off-duty conduct codes of their agency and DoJ. But the agencies themselves could never have interest in Defcon in any official capacity unless there was actually a valid reason, and a bunch of hackers having a good time is not a valid reason. There would need to be a threat to national security or reasonable suspicion of federal crime. Defcon isn't like that.
They work, too. But sometimes simpler solutions work better.

SpamAssassin assigns a score (positive = more spammy, negative = more hammy) to each rule. So the above-quoted rules work in conjunction with other rules, the Bayes filter, IP/ASN reputation data, etc. DWP_419 has a really high score in my setup right now because the false positive rate is currently zero, but it could theoretically be canceled out by other signals.
The thing that really matters when breaking thing apart into ever smaller things is not really if we are accessing ever deeper level of reality.

What matters is: can we use this newly discovered sub-structure to do something we couldn't before.

The answer to this was a clear and resounding "yes" when we reached the level of molecules (chemistry, which allows us to do a great many useful things), still "yes" at the level of the atom (atomic energy, transistors, etc...).

It is however unclear that QCD, quarks and inner proton structure reality level have yet produced anything usable to implement our will upon the world.

It may yet happen, but to answer your questions: once the depth we dig at stops producing anything usable by an engineer (string theory, quarks both currently fall into that bucket I think), not entirely sure the digging is philosophically valuable in any way.
Bit of a headscratcher! I guess the analogy is nursing homes are buying LTC policies and then maiming the beneficiaries so they require full-time help but stay alive long enough to beat the premiums? :)

If you just meant you had trouble getting LTC to payout, that may be. The payout ratio is close to 1.0, slightly better for women and significantly worse for men (the women-to-men ratio is skewed among the elderly.) So the industry makes its money on float like other competitively-priced insurance products.

But it’s still difficult to qualify for a good home or get in-home care approved and started. Staying in it longer than six months is also challenging, and can draw extra scrutiny since patients who stay longer than that are likely to stay closer to two years, which makes the policy a big money-loser.

It doesn’t help that most agents only sell LTC as an add-on to boost their production, rather than consult with it as an expertise.
"What does it mean when one's life becomes completely legible to tech companies?"

From a business perspective it's probably not even close. Start with the easiest + biggest. Scale matters here so you can't leave big easy markets there for the taking.
I'm in a WeWork building currently, and I do kinda like it, maybe it's the novelty, but seeing so many other little start-ups and various micro-businesses doing their thing, often in shared spaces, is curiously inspiring and various other perks do make coming into the office attractive enough that I do it more than I technically need to or are even expected to (it helps that it's only a very easy 15-min bike ride away!). Plus for the team I work with, I generally do find it easier to get (and provide) help when in the same physical space, and it's rarely distracting.

To put this in context: Grocery starts famously have razor-thin margins because the business is so competitive.

Kroger's most recent reported net profit margin was 1.7% with gross margins (e.g. before company expenses) in the 22% range.

Compare that to the SaaS companies, where many of us collect our paychecks, that can have gross margins in the 60-90% range.

If you want to call companies out for price gouging and excessive profit margins, taking Kroger to task for a 1.7% net margin seems kind of silly. Especially when most of us engineers are collecting paychecks from companies with far, far higher margins than that.

Interestingly, I've had the opposite experience. Working from home full-time means an office, which is an extra room. One per person, if you have a partner (open office is acceptable at the office, not at home!) and this means a couple or family who could get by with a 2br apartment now needs a 3br one.

The caveat is of course that I wanted to stay in the same city, or any city generally. I would get cheaper housing in a village, but I don't want to live in a village. Suburbs? Around Berlin where I live, they are not cheap.
That's just because you limit your view to 2 months and look at it in a vacuum.

If you extend your timeline, you may find that you get bored or restless and want to change things up. That "wasted time" is necessary in order to get into a different headspace. It's the equivalent of riding an elevator for your brain... It takes you to a different stage of life.
The Washington Post also reports this:

"In a novel step that appears to have prompted some companies to broadly suspend trade with China, the rules also bar “U.S. persons” — including American factories, and Americans and U.S. green-card holders who work in foreign factories overseas — from supporting the development or production of advanced chips in China, unless they receive a U.S. government license."
Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/10/17/export-...

"“There are green-card holders considered U.S. persons that are going to be in a bind. Do they want to stay in China and give up their U.S. person status or do they want to move?""
Doesn't work quite as well with a digital watch.
Say $10m+ earners. If you're making that one-time and expect it to be a good chunk of your lifetime earnings it doesn't seem all that crazy to move in order to save $1.33m, or if Prop 30 passes then 1.51m. That's a free (very nice) house in most states.
