Really pointless. Poland has no oil and gas. In a conventional war that drag say 5 years, most people there will die of sickness and starvation rather than bullets kr shrapnels. And today as can be seen from Ukraine, we dont fight conventional war. It will be more like surgical drone strike. And once it escalate to tacticle nukes or dirty bombs, civilians rag-tag defenses will just be bodybag counts for surviving historians. It is better they focus on diplomacy and elect responsible and smart people like those in Hungary, Serbia and Italy now. Try to avoid weak and fumbling leaders like those in USA, UK, Germans and Finlands. Take a look at Singapore where vast majority of their leaders (their congress and their public admins) have doctorate and masters. A single diplomatic advisor from Singapore to Ukraine probably would be way more effective than all USA HIMARs. Historical Polish armies tend to lose in vast majority of wars...with an occasional divine-like wins those of medieval Hussars. Hoping for divine wins are not a good long-term defence strategy.

> One look at the starting positions of what Ukraine would want to settle and what Russia would want to settle tells you all you need to know.

Disagree. They already had an acceptable deal to both parties on the table in April and the US torpedoed it. They sent Boris to make sure the message was completely understood. Ukrainian press even reported that.
I don’t condone the way he laid off his staff, but I believe a lot of these cushy FAANG roles are useless e-mail sending, PowerPoint collaging, pencil pushing.

I think those roles are put in place simply because the companies are already successful so they can afford to reap whatever little rewards the jobs provide. Based on SpaceX and Tesla, Elon doesn’t work that way.

Source Code Pro was my go to for a long time ( https://blog.typekit.com/2012/09/24/source-code-pro/ gets into the design of it) - the 1Il|iO0oB8 set is where its most interesting to me (and why I liked it).

However, when Jetbrains Mono came out, I switched my code editors to it (IntelliJ was trivial) - https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/mono/ (and no, I don't like ligatures). The slightly larger lowercase high at the same font size makes it a bit easier to read without boosting the entire editor's font size up, the 'g' debate I lean to the single story, open tail form ( https://www.typeroom.eu/the-elusive-mystery-of-letter-g-expl... ).
50cc mopeds don’t generally require a motorcycle endorsement in the US.
Why are they treating adults at a children's hospital? Sounds to me like an honest misunderstanding.
Its possible to superheat water in a microwave so that it will explosively boil when disturbed, but it is fairly easy to safeguard against, as well.
For who can't have home/parking charger, it's not happy to own EV today, though no hydrogen station is far more problem.
I don’t have a response to your first question - some modern e-bikes are very capable.

But in many jurisdictions registering a moped is extremely easy - in MA and VT at least, it’s honor system. In MA you have to go into the RMV but don’t have to have anything beyond the bill of sale and a VIN. VT you can even send in the form, you don’t even have to live in VT.

You usually have to have a learners permit at the very least - sometimes a drivers license. I’m sure there are some places where you need a motorcycle endorsement, but I’m not aware of any in the US.
Arguably, Stanford is a venture capital and real estate firm which operates a school on the side for the tax exemption. Back in the early 1990s, Stanford split off their endowment and land operations into a separate company, the Stanford Management Company. That worked out very well. They had startup money in Cisco, Yahoo, Google... Over time, the SMC tail came to wag the SU dog.
> On the flip side their covid vaccine has also being a failure.

I think this is the bigger one -- studies indicate it's not nearly as effective as the western (mRNA) Covid shots, but China refuses to use the western shots. If they open the floodgates and (to absolutely no one's surprise) death rates spike, it proves that the Chinese shot was indeed mostly useless.
Yes, and note that the clinical staff who instruct students are also counted in the employee numbers. I can't find a number for Stanford but Yale has 1,729 "continuing" medical faculty: https://www.yale.edu/about-yale/yale-facts I would not be surprised if Stanford had the same or more.

Some jobs require employees to work in person, some jobs require them to work from home.

There is no force involved, that's hyperbolic.

I'm not aware of anyone arguing that everyone enjoys working in person. That would be daft. The existence of this thread disproves that.
It’s always been bonkers that Twitter let verified users change their name while keeping the checkmark. Lots of famous accounts have verified users with the same name and profile pic in the replies shilling crypto crap, clearly hacked from some random journalist or whatever.
Meta was aggressively recruiting until there was a surprise hiring freeze. It wouldn't surprise me if they were recruiting one week and laying off the next.
Don’t know about your bones but all tap water has some minerals in it.
It is true that it was started as a way to connect people, and I remember the excitement of finding out whether the old classmate got married, the colleague got fired, or the ex-boyfriend got uglier.

But it also got old pretty quickly, like lunches with ex-colleagues: the first one is interesting and lively, the second one is forced, and when they call us for the third one we say we're sorry, but we just ate a pangolin at the wet market.

To keep engagement high, other activities on Facebook were needed, so groups, news, marketplace, etc. A simplified view, sure, but novelty wears off, and that is especially true and noticeable for fast-growing platforms, sports, tourist spots that cause feverish excitement.

Great book, but I feel like if we decide to run the US the way we would run a lunar prison colony, we're kind of admitting that we've ruined things for ourselves.
We're discussing 50-75% layoffs - terminating the employment between 3,500 and 5,250 software engineers... people. I feel it's completely fair to assume that a vast majority of them are competent.

Just as I assume that a vast majority of people on bicycles in NYC aren't thieves.
The attacks on civilian infrastructure were a direct result of the escalation on the part of the West and the Azov-controlled Ukrainian military— bombing the bridge to Crimea and the Nordstream pipelines, etc.
Tea.

French press coffee.

Instant coffee, hot cider, hot chocolate, etc.

Heating water for instant soups, etc.
Please actually read what I said: there are differences in the appliance approval process which determines how much continuous power you can draw from an electrical circuit.

Why would a manufacturer bother trying to prove discontinuous draw when they can just current limit, use the same element they do everywhere else with the same resistance, and not worry about it?
I strongly disagree. With a kettle, the whole volume of water is being heated at once and is a uniform temperature. A Keurig or drip coffee maker is only heating a small volume of water at a time. By the time you process a whole liter of water the first bit will have already cooled off a lot. It's a very different process and potentially a very different outcome.
“more like” as in, it was meant as example, not “all encompassing”.
Building diy devices with microcontrollers feels like a microcosm of this. Months of designing and coding and in the end you get hung up on some dumb connector that takes a month to ship. If I had an Aliexpress warehouse down the street I would be located there too.
The Quantum Hype Bubble Is About to Burst
Part of the problem is that there are at least three different mag-safe connectors, as I recently found out. Had to order an old one recently and took a week or two to arrive.
One of the points I found most interesting in The Onion's Supreme Court amicus brief[0] is the notion that parody loses its power when the reader knows up front that it's all fake. I found the whole brief quite readable, but the paragraph starting at the bottom of page 3 directly discusses this.

Interestingly, the case the court is deciding is about a parody police department account on Facebook, which I assume would run afoul of Twitter's rule.

I am kind of surprised that there is no obvious mount for a basket on the back (or front?) for small amounts of shopping and whatnot. Seems like it would increase the utility of it massively.

My friends in Paris who use mopeds a lot would definitely miss the carrying capacity, modest as it is. The footboard looks wide enough to place some bags in but not everyone likes that.
Two big reasons for continuing to use monospaced fonts in programming:

1) Support for vim navigation, where hjkl move you one character in a direction on an evenly spaced grid. Remove that uniform spacing and up ceases to be “up”

2) Legibility for formatted comments and ASCII art (could argue these should be avoided but I’ve seen some magical ASCII art in code)

Recently, I took up making things. Electronics, wood, cardboard. I've not been doing it very long but it is incredibly fulfilling, and the help and support from others is wonderful. It's really nice to be unashamedly enthusiastic about something.

Speaking to young people regularly too is great. They have new ideas, new perspectives and are brimming with enthusiasm. Sure, they have new words, new ways to hang out with their friends, new music and fashion but we're all more the same than different.

I think many Americans imagine the above to be infeasible and that university is somehow inherently expensive.

However, university can be very cheap. Here in Sweden university education, which is here funded in the way proposed above (i.e. the government pays for it all, for those students who get in) costs the state less than high school education costs the state (72 000 SEK/a for university, 124 300 SEK/a for high school).

I imagine that it could be the same way in the US.
So I'm missing out on 6/7 figure salary due to not memorizing stuff? Oy vey.

Child patents are strangely completely ignoring this point for some reason. Some have added an absurd “but what about email” though. I never thought about it. This ought to be DoA for many in today’s world.
I’ve thought about ideal fonts for both writing/reading and programming quite a bit, and have been let down at the choices out there. It seems most popular monospace fonts (Fira Code, Iosevka, Ubuntu Mono, etc) attempt to either fit as many characters on the screen as possible, or are so wide, that larger sizes make it impossible to fit even a function on screen; both design choices hurt overall readability and end up forcing me to fiddle with line spacing, sizing, and custom font versions just to be somewhat happy. At this point I’ve just stuck to putting consolas on virtually every machine I use, but that’s also not great.

I really hope some font foundry out there focuses on designing something specifically for readability of large bodies of monospace/duospace text.

It’d also be nice to have a provable metric for readability, rather than the anecdotal evidence I tend to see, but I suspect this is hard in and of itself.
I take oral minoxidil and dutasteride without any negative side effects (okay - my eyelashes are now a bit too luscious for my liking, and my nails grow very fast). I've also had two (by design) hair transplants. Never cared about my hair loss re: women. I've found consistently that many (enough) women don't care. Body image issues are the problem.
> Accessibility is the unprofitable thing we do as a basic human courtesy

Sure, until you start ruining your UX in the name of "accessibility". Toasts? No we can't have that, it might not work with some terrible screenreader program that looks like it was written 20 years ago and never updated.
It's fallacious to compare the lowest paying college degrees to the highest paying of trades work as evidence of the premium reversing. Someone could just as easily compare an engineer, lawyer, or doctor who makes $250k/year to someone who works at McDonald's and makes $25k/year. A plumber with many years of experience on average makes $50-53k/year. This is respectable, but this is after many years. College grads by comparison on average make $55k out of college, whereas an apprentice makes $30k .
I think alot of the people of China want to prevent/minimize deaths. There's a LOT of good people in China. During the Shanghai lockdowns when the governments were not giving out food and were locking people inside, there were people sneaking around delivering food to apartments. They do look out for each other.

But the CCP has a long history of just sweeping stuff under the rug unless it gets too hot to handle and does the bare minimum to make it go away.

I wish China was more open, if it was more willing to share information and accept help they may have a better vaccine, more people vaccinated, and more willing to drop zero covid policy while opening up knowing people will get sick but hospitals wont be overrun.

Here in Taiwan people are more or less going back to business as usual, everyone is vaccinated and while there's alot of covid cases now, hospitals are not overrun.
A lot of the emphasis on EAC is that robust automatic logfile validation tools exist for it (from what I can tell?), so it requires less manual inspection for archival. But I agree that other tools are likely equally capable.
I wonder if China knows that Covid can be dormant in animals and is never going away.
It's a poor filter and well tech salaries are artificially high the reality is most companies can afford to hire tens of thousands of developers to work on projects but instead then only hire the bare minimum.

I will have to explore the process for updating those features now that I have an account. I read the how-to section and it looks like a process where a new user would submit a potential change and other experienced users would dissect the change to determine whether anything would be broken before applying it.

As someone who talks to Simcom and other modems all day, calling it the “AT Protocol” leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Totally unimportant of course!
Without being inconsistent, I can simultaneously hold these views:

1: "Free speech is important; the NYT should be allowed to say whatever they want, maybe even including shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre, whether using their own platform or Twitter's, and neither the government nor private companies should restrict them";

== A pro-free-speech stance

and

2: "the NYT embarrassed themselves by shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre, caused public harm, and damaged the trust and reputation that they held with their audience, and I don't think it was wise of them to do so. I'm disappointed, I hope they fix this and do better next time."

== A the-NYT's-editorial-tone-is-within-my-rights-to-criticize stance

(Note: I'm not meaning to imply that a policy of deliberate non-objectivity-skewed-negative in reporting on tech is equivalent to shouting 'fire' in a crowded theatre. Just taking the example to the extreme limit, for clarity.)
The question is who will pay and will those entities be willing to accept the risk?
I am not a cook. I do have a physics degree. One time I pondered, "What's with the boiling water? And even caring about corrections for altitude?"

Water boils at a particular temperature. While boiling, at STP, it is at that temperature and stays there. Thus, when you immerse something in boiling water for a specific amount of time, you know this food item is experiencing a particular temperature for a given time. Boiling water allows for standardization on the temperature end, so you can assure yourself that, if you get the time right, well, you've standardized both of those things and your macaroni will be like someone else's macaroni, assuming they came from similar boxes.

The stability of the boiling water temperature takes away a lot of the guesswork.
With appropriate management, people are capable of many amazing feats, and can move mountains. Few humans behave this way by default, it's takes more than just capital and org chart hierarchies. It requires having a dedicated and inspired leader who people can relate to and rally behind, and who communicates clear shared goals and vision. It also requires competent middle management and project management to get a smooth operating machine.

The art of persuasion (and inspiration) is an effective tool when competently employed. Being a strong / good leader requires self-control and mastery.
Get a clue— Russia has been willing to negotiate in good faith all along. It’s the US that has blocked those negotiations from succeeding, along with right sector Nazis within the Ukrainian government (who assassinated one of their own negotiators, btw). This article indicates that the US may be finally ready to allow the major hostilities to end and won’t try to weaken Russia further by “fighting to the last Ukrainian” as Lindsey Graham so eloquently put it.
Why would the middle top back of the head be so subject to mechanical stress, if this theory is correct. I can see that for hat wearers, but that 'bald spot' is so common across the board even for non-wearers it seems not caused by mechanic stress as the first cause in the chain above.
Yes, but if you control the supply, and the government was guaranteeing infinite demand via loans, wouldn't you want to scale your programs up to make more money rather than just inviting more people to share in the grift?
A hypercube is just the higher-dimensional analog of a cube. A 2-hypercube is a square, a 3-hypercube is a cube, and so on.

Edit: I know complaining about downvotes is against the rules, and I’m not complaining, because I really don’t care about my karma on this site — but I am really confused and curious how people could possibly be opposed to me explaining a mathematical concept to someone who expressed frustration at not knowing it.
I don't get it. It's not analog data. So how can quality of digital data differ unless you have deteriorated disk and simply data loss? Is this about what hardware recovers data from defective disks better?
> Many people don't care enough to pay $8

No one said most would, not even Elon. But twitter has 450 million active users. If 5% of people care, we are talking additional yearly revenue of 2 billion dollar. Obviously 5% number isn't backed by anything and could be one order of magnitude smaller or larger.
Twitter lays off 1000 California, primarily San Francisco, employees
We used to build a lot of stuff (and I'm sure we still do) in the west. The problem is costs. The workaround is automation (see Tesla e.g.).

I'm pretty sure that with a large enough investment Apple could make phones in the US for cheaper than they do in China (including the entire supply chain). The problem is big public companies live quarter to quarter.

There's definitely knowledge and IP to do this. I worked for a company that moved some manufacturing to China about 15 years ago. Everything about how to build the thing came from our engineers including redesigns based on materials/components that were more readily available in China. It would be no problem (but wouldn't make economic sense) to move production back here (Canada in this case) just as fast as it was moved to China (years ;) ).
"At this point, it's unclear whether Horgan received the treatment and whether CRISPR, other aspects of the study or the disease itself contributed to his death"

Maybe they got killed in a school shooting and it's used to cast doubt on this treatment? Absurd to write the headline and publish the article before making the connection.
It is now the height of Covid in China because they refused effective western vaccine help (because apparently that hurts Xi’s feelings).

I love mini consoles. I know some of them have been a mixed bag, but it's difficult to find any other affordable means to play that many old game libraries legally.

That’s the thing, I don’t think he was joking at all
not at all, some subsidies are humanitarian, or purely political.

If you have deeper pockets, you could subsidise your products to bancrupt competitors, a technique called dumping.

EU subsidised renewables to enable renewable tech development - a worthy goal, but not an investment. UK founded the Green Investment bank, it did actual investment into R&D and construction. Same goal, but one us subsidy, one is investment.

US corn subsidies no longer make any sense - but cannot be removed because it would piss off a major voting block. If you were to su sidise farming from scratch, you would at least pick a variety of plants to make a balanced meal nutritionally
Sadly this omits the metric I'm most interested in, which is speed. I've noticed that, with the same rip settings, different drives -- some are a lot faster, but both produce bit-perfect rips. Biggest difference was between a slim, new consumer drive, and an old, late 90s IDE drive. The latter was significantly faster, and had far better error correction too!

In general, error correction adds a lot of time. My sense is it will re-read the damaged sectors several times and take the "most common" reading. Then, it compares that with the external full-track hashes to establish correctness. So, it has to do a lot of seeking to read and re-read a damaged portion, which can take minutes for "secure" rips in EAC.
Are you looking for logical fallacies used in debates/arguments?

Effective vaccines exist but China refuses help due to nationalism.
I long ago concluded that trying to line stuff up in columns like this in code is a mistake. It often results in realignment of blocks for small changes so what should be a small diff in the git history ends up being big.

Only rarely is the vertical alignment useful because mostly code isn't read vertically. Used in moderation, the reverse Christmas tree style used in the Linux kernel can be as good for readability (sorted longest to shortest). For some constant structures a reordering of fields to put the variable length element at the end of the line removes the need for padding space (like in the output of `ls -l` where filenames come last).

A common indentation style for continuation lines is to align with the start of arguments to the function. I've never seen the sense of this variable amount where indentation after a while is much more than after an if. Double the normal indentation for continuation works well in languages where line continuation isn't otherwise distinct from normal blocks.
