Maybe you can help me understand by adding some details and nuance.

The percentage depletion part of the tax code is specific to oil and gas, so it's not quite the same as saying it's what "ever [sic] business in the country does." I agree it's not a subsidy, but it seems like a very specific carve-out for a very specific industry and a specific commodity. It feels to the layperson that it's an odd fact that the percentage depletion can exceed the cost of the well, which makes non-viable wells suddenly viable again. That seems like favoring a specific industry in legislation. A dairy farmer cannot, for example, depreciate "future reserves" of cows milk to make a non-viable farm suddenly profitable, can they? (Understanding that there are true subsidies for farming, that may not be a good analogy).
Trademark law likely requires you to do so.

Did you look at skhd?

https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd

I found it through the yabai window manager - but I'm starting to think I might be better off with something less ambitious - as macos apis are restricted and yabai needs a lot of privileges to work with screen/desktops :'(

But skhd is very simple and powerful - it can run commands and also insert text (I rebind some keys for brackets and tilde which are annoying on Mac intl layouts).

Eg:

# open terminal, blazingly fast compared to iTerm/Hyper
cmd - return : /Applications/kitty.app/Contents/MacOS/kitty --single-instance -d ~

alt - k : skhd --text "~"
Yeah, but that's missing the 31,42% tax that the employer is paying before you pay your 35%. (and the extra % for pension, insurance, etc)
Fire "trace" analysis was proven shoddy too.
Do you believe Kathleen wouldn’t want to be considered in this way and didn’t regret the current state of tech for women? I sort of suspect she would be honored by the pantheon inclusion and strongly agree with the sentiment. Respecting someone who has passed isn’t only done by recounting their biography.
Emissions from cow farming are a big problem. Even if you don't think it's worse than car pollution (which I'd argue it is, by a long way), the solutions are not mutually exclusive, I think we can agree on that.

As for more people being able to live in cities, those who live outside them do so out of choice. You couldn't pay me enough to live in a place like the Hague or Amsterdam. They're fine places, just not for everyone. And there's the real issue: The Netherlands is full, not because it's not possible for it to grow further, but because it's not possible without reducing the quality of life.

This idea of growth being beyond reproach is thankfully not present in the Netherlands.

> Batteries are reasonably priced per unit, but they do not scale reasonably.

What is your basis for the second part, that batteries can not scale? This seems to be an article of faith among many, but there's no data that can back it up, and it doesn't pass a basic sniff test, using common comparisons.

For example, a car that drives 300,000 miles in its lifetime, at say 30mpg, would consume 10,000 gallons of gasoline, weighing approximately 100,000 pounds. This is an order of magnitude more weight than the battery, and the battery can be recycled into new batteries afterwards, it's not even consumed. Why, with this fantastic reduction in the amount of input materials needed, would batteries of all things run out of materials? State your reasoning, please!

We are currently producing ~300GWh lithium ion batteries per year, and will likely 10x our production every five years, according to the industry reference I heard a year or two ago.

The idea that we won't have grid scale batteries within our lifetimes is contradicted by actual reality, today.

Competing batteries to fission is a sever blind spot that seems endemic. We have a shipping off the shelf tech that is scaling at an amazing rate, yet it's compared to science fiction that has been decades away for half a century.

This is exactly the blindness people have about batteries, and it's why all the traditional car manufacturers have been caught completely flat footed in the transition to EVs

All other areas of energy are going to be caught completely flat footed because Pepe for some reason believe fantasies about batteries rather than the real operating truth right in front of their eyes. What I can't figure out is, why?

Yes but this would be measurable with effort. If something like this happened, investigate, talk to maintainers and assess the situation the project is in. It would be interesting what the ratio of "that's just how we roll" vs. "I'm stressed out and can't keep up with bug reports and PRs and just committed stuff to keep up" is.

That seems to contradict this part of the article:

> The Department has been working together with the Innocence Project and NACDL to address errors made in statements by FBI examiners regarding microscopic hair analysis in the context of testimony and laboratory reports. Such statements are no longer being made by the FBI, and the FBI is also now employing mitochondrial DNA hair analysis in addition to microscopic analysis

They're also going to do DNA analysis now, for free in many cases, instead of just looking at hair under a microscope to compare it.

Heroku's free tier has been incapable of running a 24/7-accessible webserver for many years, nearly a decade[0].

At this point, if anyone is reliant on it, it's almost impressive that they've managed to get by for so long without either paying Heroku or bouncing off to another service.

[0] if you give them a verified credit card, you get a few additional free hours per month, just barely enough to run a single webserver full-time on one dyno. At best, the free tier offering is... incredibly limited.
> despite the memes.

As far as I can determine the typical commenter believes that a lithium-ion battery is just solid lithium. I believe this is a result of a sustained campaign of disinformation driven by fossil fuel interests.

In reality, a standard 18650 cell contains less than a gram of lithium.

> Computing was originally seen as clerical work,

Because it largely was. What people originally called "computers" were actually people doing manual calculations:

https://www.history.com/news/human-computers-women-at-nasa

During the world wars in the 20th century, most of those "computers" were women since men were more directly involved in the war:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_(occupation)#Wartime_...

> As electrical computers became more available, human computers, especially women, were drafted as some of the first computer programmers.[47] Because the six people responsible for setting up problems on the ENIAC (the first general-purpose electronic digital computer built at the University of Pennsylvania during World War II) were drafted from a corps of human computers, the world's first professional computer programmers were women, namely: Kay McNulty, Betty Snyder, Marlyn Wescoff, Ruth Lichterman, Betty Jean Jennings, and Fran Bilas.[48]

Software development is not a solitary activity, it is a highly social and collaborative activity, and besides that, introversion is no less prevalent in women than in men.
Firstly, I'm sorry you went through the system and had to face these kinds of issues.

I generally agree with you. The fact some of these citizens people were likely incorrectly executed, and others died in prison, based on bad science makes this depressing to read.

However, I would factor in intent and knowledge on the part of lab workers and experts when demanding penalties for their action.

If they intentionally lied to support a case, 100% they should have a sentence at least equal to and preferably greater than the person they are essentially framing. However, if they are just using equipment as trained, reading results as trained, and had no I'll intent? I don't think it makes the world better to throw them in jail.
This question is impossible to answer in a vacuum. What if the language made developers 90% more productive or 90% less likely to introduce a memory bug or offered 3x faster compiler times? A 1% runtime performance hit would be well worth it if that were the case. Perhaps with the extra time available, developers could find better algorithms/ways of expressing their programs that would ultimately lead to faster runtime performance on average even with the 1% hit in certain microbenchmarks.
Why do you find it annoying? Other than it isn't a paradox of course.

It's not claiming that life doesn't exist, it just provides a framework to discuss the current absence of evidence for it. The "where are they" question.

We have conducted a lot of surveys and found nothing. There was a recent survey of galaxies that looked for Kardashev level 3 civilisations (control over the energy output of a galaxy) and we see nothing. So it seems reasonable that they are no K3 civilisations out there in our light cone.

Simple life might be common, but we can't currently look for that easily, although bio signatures of gases in atmospheres is increasingly possible.

It's also possible that complex civilisations are out there, but we just haven't figured out what that would look like.

It's an ongoing search. The one thing we do know is if it's out there, it's not obvious.

Many lawyers in America still use WordPerfect, and I suspect Corel still makes and updates it for that reason :-)

I've heard from WordPerfect fans that it gives much more precise and reliable control over formatting than Microsoft Word, very important for picky court clerks and judges. WordPerfect also has a "reveal formatting codes" function, the equivalent of showing the HTML tags or Markdown syntax in line with the formatted result.

I haven't used WordPerfect in years, not since some WYSIWYG version for DOS (6?), so I don't have a personal opinion on whether it still deserves its popularity today.
I'm currently a year into a role as Lead SRE in team working in SAFe. We plan five 2 week sprints for which we immediately write off 50% of our time as "BAU activities" and the rest of our time is spent lurching from one deliverable to another in the hope we actually achieve something before we get "re-prioritised" yet another time. It's not even SRE, it's 2nd line support and platform engineering.
I really have no idea how SAFe works or how it's meant to work, but everyone seems happy so long as I complete my JIRA tickets on time because that's what the users want.

So, if this is used in a trial where I am on the jury, I'll assume it implies a 90% chance the evidence says the defendant is innocent, plus a 5 to 9.9% chance of a false positive with the underlying test.

Got it. Moving on.

Edit: I was being snarky but, on reflection, if they are falling back on hair analysis, it implies they have a piece of the guilty party's hair and the defendant's hair, but are not willing to present the results of a $1000 genotyping test.

A 99% probability of innocence is probably about right in that part of the criminal prosecution decision tree.

> women are uniformly incentivized against making the most money for their time possible

What makes you assume men and women are working the same amount of time? Labor statistics show that men work more overtime and women are more likely to work part time.

Which fits the hypothesis that men are socially judged more by their breadwinning and women are socially judged more by things like having the flexible time to be a good mom.

> … to men

I'm taking about statistical trends, nobody said all women are married to men, but lesbians are a tiny minority compared to straight women. Even if all lesbians adopted masculine gender roles, that wouldn't change the fact that the majority of women follow female gender roles.

There has been no more meaningful progressive in batteries in over a decade. The energy density of batteries today (~265 Wh/kg) is marginally better than where it was in 2012 (~250 Wh/kg). It's been entirely a function of cost reduction. If this continues, people will need to stop talking about "rapid advances" in batteries and instead talk about stagnation.

The concept might work, but I've never seen a regular hotel that provides a meaningful set of dishes. So if you made oatmeal, you'd have to do it in a coffee cup and try to drink it, or carry cutlery with it.

TBH, that's the perk I want in a hotel room-- a couple of sets of plastic silverware, so I can just bring back a takeaway (or leftovers) at the end of the day and be able to eat it without some comical scenario like trying to use plastic straws as chopsticks or smashing my face into a bowl of Pad Thai.
I have observed the EU machinations in detail while my country decided whether to stay or leave the bloc.

And I watched the Copyright Directive vote in the EP - basically the Commission just repeatedly rammed the bad legislation through Parliament until they got the “yes” vote they were looking for. When massive (historically large) public petitions emerged against one of the articles of the legislation, the EU literally just changed its article number (to “rebrand” and dissociate the same legislation from the backlash) and then they pushed it back through Parliament again

You were right, up until you were wrong.

Most peeps looking at this situation ignore (or are unaware) of the first level issue. It's it demand side or is it supply side. Demand side can rebalance eventually and is less harmful. Supply side means everyone is now poorer and it's more painful on top of also including a unequal distribution of that pain.

The 1970s was supply side - driven most significantly by the fallout of the oil shocks.

> The inflation is a consequence of a mistake that has already been made by the Fed - overly expansionary monetary policy since 2021

However you miss the next important level of distinction in inflation. Inflation in what? Basic goods and services or investments/ assets?

People have been claiming that the Fed's policy (and QE) would kick off horrible inflation in goods and services now every year since 2009 and it never happened. When did goods and services inflation start? During the supply side shutdowns of Covid when hundreds of economies worldwide began producing less due to people remaining home, getting sick, retiring early, dying and factories and shops closing.

Then goods and services inflation kicked into high gear with yet again the oil spike. Oil price doubled in roughly 18 months, peaking earlier this year. And yet again we see goods and services inflation.

The inflation that's hitting common families is (as usual) supply driven.

Now is you're a crypto investor, or a real estate investor, or looking to buy a house, or own stocks, then yes you have legit complaint about the demand driven asset bubble and subsequent popping due to the Fed's policy of cheap money. But the reason trips to the grocery store, filing up a tank, and every day costs are more expensive now is due to supply side.

Some of these high-rise commie-blocks in Poland are actually pretty desirable. The difference is that they weren't built to warehouse poor people in some undesirable area next to a freeway and a landfill. They're often close to city center and have plenty of green space between buildings, including lots of beatiful trees. The communists had real city planning (it was easy for them, as they owned everything in the country :), so there's often a nice park next to the blocks that serves its residents, schools, stores and public health care are all within walkable distance etc.
