Weird, the time with the highest productivity, wage, and wealth growth occurred during a time when unions were active in both the US and Western Europe, yet the capitalist class leeches fought tooth and nail to stop it (and are fighting tooth and nail to stop it now).

Right - I think what Sam is wondering about is if there’s a better way to maintain some of those invariants when decoding the CRDT data or at least preserve user intent with more fidelity by taking the invariants into account. For example, if a ProseMirror schema says “figure can have one caption child”, then a CRDT library can assist by making Child a LWW register instead of an array; or picking the last item in the array instead of the first when limiting length.

Wine is just fermented grapes. It is not magic. Expensive bottles of wine may be better on average, but largely just because they put in even more quality controls and so deliver a more consistent wine. It is not magnitudes of a difference.

People talk about wine like it is magic or high art. That there is something deeper to understand. There really isn’t.
Well, the 1, 2.2, 4.7 E3 sequence that is embedded in the E12 sequence is plenty close enough for almost all applications. The successive ratios are noticeably more consistent than for the 1,2,5,10 sequence (2.2, 2.14, 2.13 versus 2, 2.5, 2)
I see your point. Yes for those born in countries with traditionally high immigration rates the system is broken. Even if an employer can demonstrate they need to retain a particular person if this employer later needs to terminate the employee for unrelated reasons you are screwed.

I think the H-1B to EB-2 and EB-1 process should be improved to not be subject to immigration rates.

I made a career limiting move at my first job when I arranged a blind wine tasting at the house of the CEO, who was a pretentious wine snob. I'd have been fine if I stuck to $40-50 bottles but I snuck in some Gato Negro from Chile, then made sure everyone knew when that was the CEO's favourite.

Started my first company shortly thereafter, probably that incident is as responsible as anything else for my entrepreneurial path.
Very dated.

whoa that is weird. When I taste wine these days, I can ONLY taste vinegar. I'm not even sure why that is.
Nope, wine is not fake.

Some are better than others, depending on many factors, and this is not up for debate.

Of course, there is also a lot of bullshit at the higher end of the price spectrum.
Realistically though, it's probably a multi-ship contract involving some small IT firm who installs everything, and then gives the onboard electrician/maintenance-guy a quick primer on how to do basic diagnosis of problems.

I'd bet that most of the configuration decisions are made based on how to minimize the likelihood of such problems ever occurring.
I suspect there's a chicken and egg effect with pricing and blind tasting. Someone who can identify wines blind surely knows how much each region/producer/style costs, and based on that would assign a guessed price. Example: Paulliac is expensive, this tastes like a Paulliac, therefore wines that taste this must also be expensive.
But don't pipes also block when the buffer (~1-4kb) is filled until the output can be consumed? So as I understand it's still sequential in the bash version, only there's a bit of buffering at play.
"The code does what it does" is not a useful statement; insisting that a smart contract is an executable specification is not helpful unless there's a really very small semantic step from how the user intentions are formed - which again is not the case here.

Well, red wine is red because it's colored by the skin of the grapes.

I guess the critique is that the tasters were inconsistent, they used [very] different language for the wine(s).

Which is definitely interesting. But not that surprising :)

Warren buffet was once targeted by an armed gunman. The gunman burst into buffet’s kitchen where buffet, his wife (I suppose she’s also buffet) and another man were eating lunch. Little did the gunman know, the other man turned out to be buffet’s hired security. The bodyguard being good at his job quickly disarmed and restrained the attacker.

Why were they sitting and eating together? Because even though buffet was the richest man in the world at the time he behaves like a normal person and if there’s a guy who’s always around you invite him to lunch.

I assure you, I need to know nothing more about the relationship to tell you that Warren Buffet trusts and respects this man. And the feeling is mutual.

In conclusion: I recommend that Bob climb down off the high horse he thinks his billions require him to ride and join the rest of us in normal life. Connection is all around you, you have only to reach back out for it.

Yep, and it can be argued that this kind of complexity spectrum is the foundation of connoisseurship itself, in any domain. The journey from amateur to expert is one of becoming bored with simple, easy-to-understand things, and gradually seeking out more complicated things to satisfy one's curiousity.
Well said. I just ordered a 4k monitor for my home office from Costco - it was basically the only model they sell. My normal mode of operation is to spend hours trying to research the specs that matter, find a good price, etc. Instead, I assumed I was getting something reasonable and bought it without any research.

Given that today’s sellers make it nearly impossible for a consumer to compare items (store exclusive SKUs, component swaps in same SKUs, astroturfed reviews, and even inventory co-mingling), a curated marketplace is worth so much.

You can absolutely get a top quality wine for <$60. Even the fancy 18th century European wineries that sell $10,000 bottles of wine will tell you this.

Scarcity is the number one factor that determines the price of an expensive wine. A good quality wine from a recent vintage will cost less than an equally desirable wine from an older vintage, simply because people haven't drank most of it yet.

That's also typical in Spain. In fact, most family restaurants offer free wine, but it's of that level of quality, so you usually mix it with sparkling water.

Also, it's typical of young people to mix cheap wine with Coca-Cola, and have parties with that.
The breakdown really shows how ill-conceived the device is. 'Christ' is filtered in strict mode, because it can be used as a swear word, but then presumably it would be censored in all the other situations it's not used as a swear word. Imagine this thing bleeping out some hymn in a church service.
Modern US culture holds that assimilation is an evil to be avoided. The old metaphor of the "melting pot" has been tossed out in favor of a "salad bowl". Assimilation is the opposite of diversity, and since diversity is good, assimilation is bad.

"You literally have no idea about the immigration policies in other countries"

It's ironic that you say that, but are making claims that just aren't correct.

"The US and Canada have the most lenient and generous citizenship policies in the world."

This is widely agreed to be false. I'll refer to the following sites:

https://flagtheory.com/ja/easiest-countries-to-become-a-citi...

https://getgoldenvisa.com/easiest-countries-to-get-citizensh...

https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/easiest-c...

You'll notice there are many countries with 2 or 3 year citizenship tracks as the default, while the US's is 5 years, and requires significantly more difficulty.

The US isn't anywhere near the top of any of those lists.

The US policy is certainly better than a lot of countries, but that doesn't make it "most generous in the world", just not "least generous".

Matlab is awesome. I had to learn it for a class in Computational Photography back in school. The matrix-centric language design is an interesting change from traditional languages and the amazing linear solvers available give you a shocking amount of power sometimes. For example, the language has really good SIMD/parallelism support out of the box, because you are steered towards making all of your variables into vectors and performing batch processing. Backslash is also an incredibly powerful tool in the right hands, and lends itself to some beautiful oneliners (it’s sort of like a shell language in that way).

> It's a shame that it's turned into a niche scene

Not sure about niche. Maybe more... understated, proprietary and confidential.

We've been doing totally vanilla HTML/JS/CSS web apps for our B2B customers for the last 3-4 years. In fact, we can't use your typical web frameworks because our contracts are measured in half-decades and due diligence against our vendors makes it infeasible to participate in that kind of ecosystem. Banking is a great industry to get into if you want to get frameworks out of your life. You have the perfect bat to use. "Oh.. I don't know about that... is Angular 12 still going to be around and supported halfway through this client's seven-figure contract?".

Doing pure web in 2022 is hard. It's mostly a human/courage thing. The technology is easier than its ever been. But, you have to stand your ground day after day against this onslaught of cargo cult web dev. The outcome is worth whatever salty arguments you get into.

I understand the sentiment. I'd probably use similar diction if I had to screw around with NPM-style projects for a living. That said, javascript itself can be an answer to this vendor bloat if used very carefully.
Voice assistants are just too unsophisticated, lacking required context. Recently during a drive I decided to give the Google Assistant another try - Google Maps was being utilized as the navigation but screen was too bright for my liking - it was not possible to accomplish this with voice only, yes, screen got dimmed but in the process nav got into this small floating window mode and no possible voice command was able to restore it to fullscreen - maximize, enlarge, open, fullscreen, fullsize - nope.

I would seriously doubt that most H1 workers come from US colleges. It is a common knowledge that most H1s go to Tata/Infosys and friends.

Also, I would wonder:
1. How much of those foreign graduates went to college solely for a visa.
2. I would also expect that those graduates have much lower expectations from the life style. Young men don't really need a lot of money and have a lot of time to spend at work.
I can see the reasoning here but I think it's a little different. Learned helplessness is the phenomenon where people stop trying to change their situation or circumstance because they feel ("learn") that nothing will help. Burnout is a little different. Burnout is more like when you simply don't want to do something any more, but often people with burnout still have the capacity to change their circumstance. Often people with burnout will quit or take time off and seriously reconsider their situation, whereas that is not the case with learned helplessness.

In my opinion burnout is actually more of a natural phenomenon, which is the mind simply needing to do something totally different and perhaps more meaningful. I believe it is also due to the unnatural tendency for people to work in the same or similar field of expertise for far too long, which is simply not natural especially for highly intellectual fields.
> Anyways, earth gave us plenty of non animal derived product to thrive on

It really didn't. Essentially every vegetable you have ever eaten is the product of millennia of genetic modification by humans and is completely unrecognizable relative to its natural form. Cabbage, broccoli, kale, and collard greens are all horrifically mutated forms of a single natural species, engineered specifically for mass human consumption. Compare this to animals: livestock are of course influenced by husbandry but not anywhere near the same extent. One can easily match livestock to their natural forms; e.g. chicken to junglefowl; cattle to other bovine species; domesticated hogs to wild hogs. Probably none of these species is more changed than, say, the domestic dog so it's not even clear one can attribute the changes to the needs of human consumption as one does with vegetables.

If the naturality argument holds water, then it in no way points us to the produce aisle, but rather to the butcher's.
Ditto for "C in 1991 on a VAX". But at least my college had the courtesy to teach us asm on a PC before that so that we could appreciate how addressing worked. Plus it helped to demystify pointers in C.
I have wanted to do a lot of things throughout my life since 15/16 but lack of discipline usually pulls me away from having a deep study on any of them. I'm now 40 and achieved nothing I have wanted. Everything I "achieved" I either wish I didn't achieve or I just completed them grudgingly.

I kinda give up and wish I lived in a prison that just forced me to achieve anything I have wanted to do. Maybe I'm not actually interested in all those but at least I get more trophies to show.

Beer was probably "discovered" when mashed up grains started fermenting wildly. It's definitely not difficult to make alcohol if one desires!

I do think something can be said to effort put in vs what you get however - I've enjoyed some very good beer that took a little bit more work than letting some grain lying around ferment. Of course, on the other hand, plenty of beers are brewed in Belgium using essentially that method, so it all comes down to one's taste I suppose.

I just don’t think the tech is there, yet. I’ve tried their meat balls and burger with very high hopes, but they all taste like those cheap soy-based Chinese snacks, less greasy, more expensive.

Meanwhile, I have like 20 tofu recipes that are cheaper and more importantly, way tastier. I don’t try to make tofu taste like meat; it’s just delicious when the recipe makes it shine on its own right.

There are so many vegetarian recipes around the world that doesn’t try to fake meat, and achieve superior result both in cost-effectiveness and taste, in my opinion.

And then, at some point, we’ll probably have the technology to synthesize meat in a more realistic way. The current soy-based mimicry, as much as I admire the initiative, just feels like an awkward product.
I'm surprised these sorts of articles still get traction?

It's not intrusive because, contrary to what you think, you can very easily disable notifications for that app, just as you disable notifications for any other app in iOS. I have, and therefore I didn't get this notification that you mentioned, but if I open the app I can see a banner at the top of the app for the sale. Therefore I can assume that turning off the notification is indeed possible.

And, I mean, it's an Apple Store app. The app is optional, you can uninstall it if you want; if you have it on your phone, it's not ridiculous to think that you'd want to be alerted to a sale. Ditto for Amazon, or Best Buy, or any other "store" app. It's for shopping, that is the soul purpose of the app. I'd even go so far as to argue that a shopping app giving you notifications for a sale is a good thing (because, if I presumably chose to install that app for the purpose of shopping there, why wouldn't I want to be aware of the fact that the products I presumably want to buy are cheaper?). IMO these aren't even really "ads," they're just notifications from an app doing exactly what it's designed to do. While ads can be delivered via a notification system, notifications and ads are not the same thing.

However, multiple, persistent ads embedded into various places around the OS, with no clear way to remove them -- not to mention pre-installed third-party apps acting as their own advertisement (such as Candy Crush) -- are categorically different on a completely different level, but if you can't see that or don't care then more power to you I guess.
