The reason for this is (assuming no malice from the index creators) Indians always have had low protein diet (I have evidence from all state cuisines which are very carb heavy for field work). Relatively lower meat consumption also skews it. However, eggs consumption has increased a lot in recent decades which should help.
> Well, the simplest explanation is that you have forest and other fires that would still be there and constantly contribute CO2 to the atmosphere. In California alone, one year of fires is equivalent to nearly 20 years of emissions savings.

Where did the CO2 in the forest come from?

you're not being fair, though. A common language was chosen for aviation, and nothing in that article suggests that a different language choice would have been better. In this case you had Dutch speakers communicating with Spanish speakers. English does offer a blend between romance and germanic languages (which of course could lead to "false friends", but no language will be perfect)

I think we sometimes understate philosophy's progress: it's certainly not measurable in decades, but the world of 2022 looks very different (in terms of philosophical priors and their consequences) than the world of Socrates or Confucius. A handful of examples that come to mind:

* (Nearly) everybody on our planet lives under a government whose fundamental structure and right to power comes from modern (meaning 17th century) political philosophy.

* Everybody posting on this board is using a machine that only existed in the mind games (and works) of math philosophers just over a century ago.

* The philosophical foundations for contemporary science are very young, practically within living memory. Popper died less than 30 years ago!
Discussed here prior: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33465770

It's a great idea - transparent, able for anyone to verify, with a paper trail.
You don't actually need the government here. The party that protests that people don't have ID can, themselves, do outreach to get them ID.
Interesting how the graph goes exponential. People see it's worth a lot and buy more tickets.
"Usage" is different from "number of users". I believe you're conflating the two.
"Why would someone become a nurse when they could become a developer, and make more for less work while WFH?"

Because a lot of people are bored to tears by coding or have no talent for it. Thankfully, there is a lot of diversity of talent.

The same reason I am not a brain surgeon. I'd probably get paid better, I may have the talent, but being a medical professional is the last thing I want to do with my life.
No, AIA doesn't remove the concept of prior art, or the requirement that an invention be novel. It's a rather technical change regarding who of two patent filers gets priority. An invention that was publicly disclosed, or on public sale, is still prior art, even if no patent was filed.
Children however seem to prefer the musical version and find that easier to focus and understand, especially around 1-2 yrs old.

Funny how a lot of companies should just hire a designer to become as good as Apple, but that never happens. Companies insist on naming their product WX1000 (hi Sony), or adding a BOM to SOAP requests to make their products incompatible (hi Microsoft).

So yes, Apple gear is ultraexpensive, does little, cable breaks and lifelong souvenir photos are locked up in iCloud.

Unfortunately, this is still a much better experience than the Linux or Windows world.

It’s only a matter of various companies having to do fewer dark patterns to win over the market, but that never happens.

It's because Walmart isn't trying to compete with Target as a "browse around" store. They are trying to compete with Amazon, only it's self-warehouse work as well as self-checkout.

At least according to https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/30/business/walmart-store-redesi...
You missed the point of hiring PhDs. You don't usually need them unless you are on the literal bleeding edge of a very minute subfield-of-a-subfield.

You hire PhDs as a value signal. "We have 6 PhDs from ivies working on solving X, Y, and Z". It doesn't even matter what X, Y, and Z are. People will THROW, THROW money at you.

The only PhDs who, by my estimation, enjoy themselves are in their late 60s to mid 70s, have had tenure for 25+ years, and just do whatever they want in the fields they enjoy. It's equivalent to earning something like an Engineer in Research position. The utility you bring to industry as a PhD is almost nothing - except those 3 letters. Who would've thought 3 letters could net you so much damn money from stupid investors.
Do you like to be on-duty?
AWS is my largest annoyance in this regard.
You're missing the fact that most courses (i.e. the ones that aren't wildly successful) have a large upfront cost. The marginal cost might be a tiny fraction of the price, but that doesn't necessarily translate to a profitable enterprise overall.

You can see the same effect with railways and aeroplanes. There's definitely plenty of operational costs, but the capital costs are relatively high so you want to keep your capital goods (the railways/trains/planes) active all the time even if you only make a tiny profit on each service. However, these businesses often only pan out if they can attract high-margin customers (e.g. business class flyers).
It’s been a while since I have stayed and didn’t realize Amazon offered this… great for them!
> I think part of the problem for current graduate students (well, for the last generation or so) is that while the past idea / lore of graduate school modeled by mentors (professors, parents) was built on a growing post-war pyramid of faculty jobs and research opportunities, now it has become a saturated pyramid in many fields. So then students find themselves not competing easily for a growing number of jobs, but waiting to see which senior professor retires or dies and opens up a spot. Or else leave for industry. And woe to those who go into fields where there is not a lot of industry to exit to.

I was basically told I would not graduate my PhD program if I didn't do my dissertation in a machine learning application of my field of interest.

The intersection existed but after a year of trying to motivate myself I could not. I ended up quitting. It's more politics than it's worth and I was in competition with students from other countries who had infinitely more funding, infinitely more time, and infinitely more energy than me. I was doing night classes and spending every other waking hour I wasn't working pushing my research.
No, the promise doesn't block, it just stays a promise. However, for synchronous calls, the Promise overhead is obviated.

In other words, the performance price of synchronous vs asynchronous calls is the price of a function call vs Promise implementation (i.e. event-loop machinery); the price of a function call, including the stack frame allocation, which is non-zero (recall the times that assembly programmers would dismiss languages like C as 'too-slow', having to allocate on function calls), versus pushing the Promise closure onto an event-loop, exiting the current event-loop, waiting for the next event-tick, popping off the next closure from the event stack, then creating the function call stack frame under a closure.

For inner-loops, the difference can be 20ms vs 20s.

Is this yet another allusion on Al Gore and his infamous private jet? Last year, 506,769 airplanes either took off or landed in LAX only. That's 1388 per day in one airport. All packed to the gill by "little people" like you and me.

Al Gore could fly his jet across the Pacific every day and it would be literally a drop in the bucket-full of little guys, in the grand scheme of things.

I'm tired of these talks of "big guys ruining the environment," which is conveniently only brought up when these big guys talk about the environment. This is plain simple "hate the message, shoot the messenger" strategy.
I really can't buy the proposition that demand for stickers outweighed the years-long pain points about things like your Signal identity being tied to your phone number or a ping going out to everyone in a person's address book who already used signal, both of which are at odds with the core mission of secure and private communications.
That particular device pictured is a scanner. https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/9956d4f/21474836...

It can scan a scantron sheet in which the page, side, column and row are used to generate a number. For example a bubble filled in on page 1, side 1, column 4, row 8 would generate 110408. There is some business logic here that says that "For page 1, side 1, only one of 0408, 0409, 0410 may be entered".

At the end, however, you get a number counted that is then tallied for and then that is mapped back to Bob Smith for the votes.

Note the alignment guides on the sides - https://www.amazon.com/Official-SCANTRON-Brand-Answer-Sheet/...

If the scanner detects a barcode page being entered (that was generated by a touch screen system), then one of the barcodes encodes the number 110408, and the barcode is read rather than trying to go from the scantron page guides.

---

In the case, you've got the scanner here, you enter them into the scanner and get the vote counts "live". Then, you take them out of the secured spot and scan them all in to the other machine and compare the vote tallies.

There is a paper ballot that is recording this.

In the event that there is a recount, then the paper ballot is examined and the name next to the bubble is what the human auditor uses to count votes.
Marriages have an expectation of permanence. This allows for long range planning.

On flip side. Divorce is really, really expensive for exactly the same reason. You’re breaking apart an organization that assumed it would never be broken apart.

Lots of people described Brexit as a divorce for this reason.
It’s not some unprovable hypothesis, rather very plain facts. Many politicians who screech about the suspicious nature of delayed vote counting were in the majority legislatures that passed laws to ensure slow vote counting. Pretending otherwise is so silly.

There is literally no other reason to craft laws in this way except to later give credence to dishonest “voter irregularity” claims.

I really love India, have been visiting for tech business for over 20 years. I've found it to be one of the toughest countries to do business. I'd be more physically and mentally drained at the end of each day. And I'd fly out with a huge to do list. Yet there has been many heartening observations along the way.

I saw a poor woman go up to the window of the frequent flyer lounge kitchen, she placed with her hands out, and the staff returned and gave her a bundle of eggs. She was so grateful.

While stuck in a jam traveling between meetings, slums lined the side of the road, three kids under 5, no clothes, covered in filth, hitting a stone around with a stick with huge smiles... happiness.

And last night on the way home in Mumbai I see a father and son on a dark street intersection with almost nobody around. The father laid out a tarp and the under 5 year old son was hopping and dancing around taking shoes out of the sack and placing them neatly in pairs.

And then the little jobs to help people. The chaiwala and the lift attendant.

And well... the food! Thank you India.
That's a very big claim, perhaps true only if human endeavor only ever builds linearly. But I dont think that is true. Certainly not in the arts or music, e.g. the Beatles did not need to ingest the entire corpus of Mozart or even Scott Joplin to be highly productive. Although, it certainly helped that they were extremely open minded to all types of music.

A second example is that of recent advances in virtualization, where the last decade of advances in things like cgroups, namespaces and containers were all done by people who I assert had no training in IBM MVS/zOS and therefore weren't building on what went before (imho, to their detriment).

A useful corrective, but perhaps also misleading. Humans didn't peacefully keel over at 60, let alone 30, that's true. And death before 20 was indeed so horrifyingly common that it couldn't help but bias the average hard. But mortality was higher at every age, be it from disease, injury, or childbirth. A person of the past would have understood a death at 40 or 50 to be young, but not all that unusual. Most people would know quite a few who died in that range.
You're kind of describing home assistant. It integrates with all the various non interoperable standards and gives them the same interface. (In the ui sense, but also in the sense that you can write scripts that cross manufacturer boundaries.)
Banks don't randomly apply banking controls to check for fraud, they do it for all the money flows.

The original idea of double entry bookkeeping was to:

1. catch errors

2. make fraud much more difficult

It's been in continuous use since the 13th century. It works. The reason it works is because an error, to remain undetected, requires a matching error somewhere else.

That's what "balancing the books" means.

Probably, there's a lot of things Id like to do, none of it will pay me 300k a year. Now that Ive matured a bit id like to do like go back to school maybe and learn something in depth but ehh there's no real roi.

Id take this a little bit further, especially with the quote you have, and say that tech talent is even consolidated in a small amount of companies. Plenty of companies need tech people but just can't compete with the comp packages these big companies offer. I turn down tons of recruiters when they reveal their staff eng or team lead position is only offering 130k with a 5% bonus.

Context matters, he might be a terrible person to work under but he clearly was the voice of reason for Apple.

Just remember how he said that Apple is not interested in games. It was somewhat of a shocker since they would lose so much clients because of that but look where we are now. The Apple Arcade and other pathetic attempts just proves how right he was. Why enter a market where your results will be laughably bad? It is pathetic how they present "Lara Croft Tomb Raider" which is 4+ year old game benchmarks in 2022 on 1080p 60fps and 4k 30fps as if it's somehow good.

And remember the cringe moment where they presented Touch Bar with some DJ? Jesus...
You’re assuming a logical fallacy too easily.

The frequency with which it’s found “natural” food is better for us is not to say only “natural” food is better, but it is a real trend, as such worth taking into consideration when making choices about what to eat.
It's tricky - I feel like those who get PhD out of true deep love and talent for a field find their way through to happiness.

But sadly, a lot of people go into it for the wrong reasons (family pressure, ego, not knowing what else to do) and alas it doesn't often work out.

I remember on-campus interviewing an Indian guy who got a BS, MS and now PhD in chemistry, only to realize that he doesn't have a passion for it. That's tragic because all this money/lost time down, he's competing with undergrads for entry level roles. Meanwhile kids that finished undergrad around the same time are already starting to become managers.

The world needs PhD level people -- but I just think that your heart has to be into it 10000% and then you'll make it work.
Assuming everyone you know isn't already using Signal, I think the most important "feature" for any existing Signal user is getting more users on there.

> It doesn’t have to be about big decisions. Next time you notice yourself grabbing the exact same snack between two meetings, ask yourself: is there another option?

Personally, I think this is the worst advice. Don't spend time thinking about unimportant things. I think it's a major contributor to the default effect.

There are so many choices to make everyday that thinking about each one becomes exhausting/overwhelming so people just pick the default all the time (even when it matters).

The key is figuring out what matters and what doesn't (to you) and only thinking about what does.

Also setting yourself up for "good" defaults is a way to work towards an outcome without having to constantly make good choices. E.g if you never buy unhealthy snacks, you'll never have unhealthy snacks at home, so picking any random snack (the default) works towards living a healthier life.

The 5687 has a low mu and high transconductance. If you put it on a chart with the 12AX7 and the 12AU7, the 12AU7 would be in the middle. The 5687 has even higher transconductance and a little lower gain.

If it ran hot, part of that was probably the fact that the 6.3 V heaters ran at 900 mA, instead of the 300 mA. This is a full 3x as much power, just for the heater.

You could use it in a guitar amp, but I would probably just use a 12AU7 instead. The 5687 has a different pinout.

> It wouldn't be a good fit for the final output stage before the output transformer because of it's relatively low heft compared to a beam power tube or something, [...]

There are guitar amps out there with less powerful dual triodes used as output. Yes, they're low-power. There are amps out there using a 12AU7 for 500 mW of output power. It seems like such a small amount of power, but it can be loud--loud enough to damage your ears, loud enough to get evicted, not loud enough to keep up with a drummer.

Yeah my comment's tangential to the article. The problem there is that there is an FDE password in the process of securing your data that you can't backup reliably (Filippo misspelled the password). This would have caused the loss of an entire RAID drive for anyone, not for Filippo in this case obviously. Such a basic UX problem causes catastrophes.

Microsoft avoids that by backing up your key (not password) to a USB drive or even cloud first. There's no typo issue. There's no forgotten password issue.
