People being morally outraged about the mistreatment of animals in some contexts might lead to them being morally outraged about the mistreatment of animals in other contexts.

This is a scenario where as a vegan I'm happy for people to have standards about animal wealfare in research. Yes, sometimes "think of the animals" arguments can be used by omnivores in ways that are harmful, but if the standard is that people need to be 100% committed before they complain about anything, then no one is ever going to be 100% committed. Any conversion to any cause almost always starts with people caring about the issue at the edges, and that process often starts out as messy and hypocritical.

So in general I look at what behavior people want from me to evaluate why they're making an argument. I've seen people complain that vegans/vegetarians are hypocrites for getting a COVID vaccine that isn't vegan, but they're typically not arguing for people to care more, they're arguing that the hypocrisy means they should be able to eat meat. And in this comment section I see people arguing that the meat industry is worse than Neuralink (and to be clear, it absolutely is), but is that argument being made to try and convince people to stop eating meat? Or is it being made to argue that Neuralink shouldn't face scrutiny for unnecessary carelessness in its animal research?

On average, people have a natural instinct (which can admittedly be overcome) to empathize with animals around them, which is why the meat industry needs to work so hard to separate consumers from the sources of modern meat and to mask how industrial meat farming has evolved and scaled over time and what the costs have been. I want people to develop that instinct, not suppress it. I don't really care if they're hypocritical right now, maybe if they foster that empathetic instinct they'll get less hypocritical in the future.

But I don't want them to say, "well, I eat meat, so I guess I shouldn't be upset about other forms of suffering." I think that would be moving in the wrong direction. The argument should be, "yes, and", not "no, unless".
The journey to become a Java champion
A lot of it is just two layers - the chip and the interconnect below. If you have a chip that generates a lot of heat, you can stack another one that generates less heat on top of the hot one and use it as a heat spreader (a lot of mobile chips are like that). Also memories have only a small part of them being used at any given time, so they are a good fit for tall stacks (current flash memory does that too)
Googles prestige is on the decline.

Blind is filled with posts talking about Google culture turning toxic. Googles stock has performed quite badly with the downturn, and the heat is being turned up on the workers.

Compare it to place like Salesforce or Oracle or Intel or IBM. Salesforce and Oracle may actually beat the google offer too since Google is low balling a lot these days.
From the link:

> DPC and Meta cooperated on "bypass". During the course of the procedure, Meta has relied on ten confidential meetings with the Irish DPC in which the DPC has allegedly allowed Meta to use this "bypass". It was later revealed that the DPC has even tried to influence relevant EDPB Guidelines in the interest of Meta. Nonetheless, the other European DPAs rejected the DPC's view back in 2018 and again in the final EDPB decision. The case took more than 4.5 years and lead to hundreds of pages of reports and submissions, despite the case being about a rather simple legal question.

I really wish this ends up as an investigation to potential bribery of Meta and DPC. What should follow then is criminal proceedings.

The sheer cost of public administration due to DPC delay is extortionate.

Doing the right thing even if it meant losing very valued folks and associated costs.
I haven't followed SpaceX enough to know if they operate(d) that way, or if it worked reasonably. If it did, I'd guess it was due to increased guardrails. At first glance, you'd think the design of rockets would be more critical than cars. But the issue in Tesla's case isn't the trickiness of the technical problem, but rather the ethics of testing on consumers in populated areas.

Taking it as a given that a rocket can't be launched over say a major city (one "guardrail"), it would seem to matter a lot less if a bunch of unmanned rockets blew up on the pad or over a test range.
And yet automation has led to an ongoing explosion in the number of jobs since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution!
I'll leave you alone with your smug ignorance. Highly doubt you know the technical details of these systems.

> "...'the missing middle' (i.e. 20-30m high buildings)..."

the missing middle isn't just what's between two extremes, so here, it's not 20-30m (~65-100ft, or roughly 6-10 stories) as you've stated, though i'd certainly prefer cities to adopt zoning that allows much more density too (along with the mixed-zoning, public transportation and micromobility upgrades needed to support that density).

the missing middle specifically refers to 2-6 story stick-framed buildings that can be built quickly and cheaply while also providing ~4-10× the density of single-family zoning. 6-10 story buildings don't fall in this category since they usually need at least a concrete podium for the first 1-4 stories, which puts it in a different (higher-priced) construction category.

the missing middle is literally the space between single-family homes and the 6+ story buildings that require more expensive construction techniques.
Haskell foot-guns lenses into something awful by doing what so many FP libraries do: over generalizing themselves into impenetrable category theoretic self-indulgence. Why do I need to understand Profunctors to get a value inside of a record?!?

Lenses themselves are awesome. The "bad", naive, not-general type is really simple.

```
newtype Lens a b = Lens {get :: (a -> b), set :: (a -> b -> a)}
```

So simple that modifiers can be mechanically generated for your data types. And suddenly, you can express super-duper complex modifications without all the obnoxious boilerplate it'd otherwise take.
Life never has any guarantees, my friend. You can get screwed any time from any direction. Having a family can add some stress and responsibilities on your shoulders but will also give you resiliency and support you will most probably need at some point.
Well, it is indeed tricky but not requires-dedicated-chip tricky :-)
Replace the whole wheel. You don't need any tools (except those that supplied with the car itself).

Note that many new cars these days don't come with any tools at all. And spare tires are an expensive optional extra that don't always come with the tools anymore.
Welp, that's why FSB crossed my mind for a second.

For a while, I used to commute from Santa Cruz to north San Jose for work. Since then, I absolutely factor my commute into my compensation, and anything more than an hour total commute per day is an additional premium. Factor in how terrible driving has become in the bay area, and I'm of half a mind to begin asking for hazard pay for commuting.
what's staff+ comp nowadays?
History is not a useful guide here. Widespread birth control is an extremely new phenomenon. Cannot be compared to any other era. We are already seeing the impact of low birth rates on economic growth / home ownership etc and it will become even more dramatic as the boomers continue to retire.

For me, Nim and Nimble work pretty well.
I bought a microwave recently and it came with an electronics schematic for repair too. Now, it uses large capacitors, resistors, etc so it would be fairly easy for a novice or field repairman to work on. I can kind of understand why microelectronics don't come with circuit repair schematics though.
Think of the layout of a modern office tower. Nearly open floor plans, one or two multi-user bathrooms per floor, one or two kitchenettes per floor. Designs optimized for ingress and egress via a single path. Sound abatement is minimal. Support columns are in the open.

So at minimum, you would need to plumb and power each "apartment" which would require essentially a complete replacement of the plumbing in place, as well as the electricity. And since the units are distinct, you would need to meter and isolate each unit. You would need to ensure that each "apartment" had a reasonable exit for fire safety reasons. You are restricted by architectural/engineering decisions that were based on an open layout (aforementioned supports).

Think of it this way, have you ever seen the progress as a tower is built? Isn't it remarkable how the "shell" or exterior seems to get finished in a blink, but the rest of the "innards" take 4 or 5 times as long to finish? In this case, most of the "innards" would need to be re-worked. Huge capital investment with unclear returns (nobody wants to live among the blight that a lot of west coast city centers are seeing).
I'd love to move to NY but yeah, I have kids now and moving them from the acreage and amazing school district we have now is just not really an option.
from the wikipedia link - they use sewage/greywater for cooling:

This seems to provide a lot of answers to questions I’ve had about CXL.
This is the reason I don't have any window stickers, bumper stickers, or a vanity license plate.

I tend to drive no more than 5 MPH above the legal limit and the road-ragers around here get SUPER bent out of shape about that. (Honking horn, flashing lights, whizzing past on a double-yellow, you get the idea.) The car I drive is very common in this area and don't need any reason to stand out to those idiots.
Probably also hedging for geopolitical risk? Not sure how only having facilities in a country at least somewhat likely to be invaded in the next few years affects the stock price but it probably doesn't hurt to put one in the middle of a country very unlikely to be invaded and very likely to want to purchase chips built domestically.
They both claim to be well capitalized, but have provided no proof that that capitalization isn't coming from market manipulation of coins they own.
Apple need the labels either way. They can't just go creating new derived works without a license, and the artists and producers would far prefer to avoid the artifacts of something that is overly automated.

It's already become pretty common for studios and labels to make stems available (stems are full multi-track files that can be used with a DAW) to industry insiders and even the public sometimes. There's a community of remixers, samplers, even a small cottage industry of YouTubers who work with these regularly. It wouldn't take them more than a few minutes per track to annotate which channel is vocals.
Late 90s/early 2000s. I definitely spent some time with the licensing code and I know it definitely did nothing like that then.
It’s also important to remember that a war game that your military wins isn’t a very useful war game. The whole goal is to find blind spots in military strategy and planning. “Nah we’re good everything is great” is how you end up getting worked by Ukraine.

> Streaming services must limit the resolution of their streaming offers to Standard Definition (SD).

Assuming the content has already been encoded in both HD and SD, how much of a difference does it make in terms of electric consumption to transmit it in HD vs SD, on say 1/ a desktop at home and 2/ a phone in the street?
Sounds a lot like what banks do. They mostly lend out money they don't actually have, with the hope that the owners of the money they lend out don't notice.
It's not the same argument at all. When there's functionality that needs to be dynamic that is fine. When there's functionality that could have been easily accommodated without it, it forces sites that otherwise could remain entirely static to be served up with a dynamic setup or use a redirect to somewhere to run a dynamic script just for that. If it was for a good reason, such as lack of ability to provide the functionality in a static way anyway, it'd have been fine, but providing webfinger with static files would've been easy with just a tiny bit more care.

E.g. here's a suggested change to webfinger that wouldn't made this purely optional:

* Change the basic URL format to /.well-known/webfinger/<acct>

* Still allow the "rel" parameter, but allow the server to ignore it and return the full set of resources.

Now all you lose is the ability to do filtering with "rel=", and the "failure mode" is simply that you get the whole static file returned if it's not supported.
IIUC you refer to "flying debris" from outer space hitting the surface of the moon. But the local lunar dust itself is a big challenge to be addressed for future moon mission EVAs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k9wIsKKgqo

This dust would probably be a physical challenge to equipment used to build infra.
I have no desire to be part of a union because of my one-person removed (friends) experience with union violence.

1) Interns, not being part of the union, needed to cross the picket line (Canada Federal Government strike). My friend (female) was punched in the face by a union member.

2) Another friend working on the factory floor, doubled then tripled their work quota. They were pulled aside and told it was amazing how much damage can happen to a vehicle in the parking lot when it's snowy.

Yeah, I have no interest in helping or encouraging that.

However, I do support people's ability to organize and strike. I disagree with a union deciding that they won't cross picket lines. That's cartel-like behavior, like price fixing between shipping companies, or OPEC.
Good news is that the NYT doesn’t get biased by the ulterior motive of depending on advertisers for revenue. Bad news is that the NYT does get biased by the ulterior motive of pandering to their subscribers.
Yes, it is; not clear why they didn't just say that.
Energy storage doesn't generate energy.
Energy storge does not decrease the usage of energy infastructure or the need to maintain it.

The need for storage depends on the type of power that is being generated. E.g. a nuclear powerplant can easily change its production, a solar panel or wind turbine can not, that requires renewables to rely on over production and storage for continous delivery.
Btw. there isn't enough lithium in the world to make this happen globally.
Here's a question, is it copyright infringement to serve modified versions of a song? We know that attempts to censor movies have not held up in court, how is this different? Did all the publishers agree to this in their contract with Apple?
Sounds like you’re talking about Medicare rates. A lot of hospitals and payors use them as the basis for their price lists, but unless you’re an actual Medicare patient it’s probably not what you’re actually paying.

This data is collected from hospital “chargemasters” - which lay out the maximum amount a hospital will charge for a given procedure. However, hospitals have negotiated rates with payors that are almost always less than the chargemaster rate and are kept private.

As a broad generalization, you can think of Medicare prices as the minimum a hospital will normally charge, and the chargemaster rate as a legally-enforced maximum.

This implies that the prices of goods would be higher relative to wages.

From an environmental perspective it is a reasonable position. But a democracy is never going to support any such transformation. “Make appliances more expensive so that I cannot afford new ones easily” said nobody.
Aside from the apt Yogi Berra reference, a lot of kids are made by "accident" by people who didn't "want" to but accept their fate when it's "happened". Oopsie!

The EV of burning money is zero.

The EV of chucking some change into a firm that Sequoia has given $150m to and is writing glowing reviews of -- even with zero due diligence -- is probably pretty good.

The main reason for low birth rates is widespread birth control. People are still having sex. It’s not complex.
I stand corrected as well!

Wonder why they take this approach though, as it is clearly over-engineering (if I correctly understand that the goal is just to make vocals volume adjustable).

Describing ESA/CSA/JAXA as 'just an equipment supplier for NASA' is exactly the issue you're attributing to the West. They aren't prevented from developing their own crewed spaceflight capability. They aren't even prevented from working with China (ESA has experiments on Tiangong for instance). They just find it more effective to put aside greed to work closely with NASA.

It is well understood that the only reasons ESA and JAXA in particular don't have crewed spacecraft is a lack of need, as both are clearly capable of developing reliable rockets and having supplied modules for the ISS are also clearly capable of designing spacecraft that can keep humans alive.

If India wants its Lunar infrastructure in the hypothetical case where the West somehow has already fully colonized it before India has had a chance to establish and maintain its own colony, perhaps India too should put aside its greed and seek to work through things via mutual cooperation?
But that's the thing, at 6.99 you're also paying with your data. What you're really saying is you want it for free.

Also, 2 years to make back the cost really isn't that bad. I have a 2007 Office dvd and it still works fine on W10, so if you keep this new version of office for 16 years, you made back your money 8 times over.

I thought it was long admitted, even by the NYT (citation below) in a recent reorg, that they were controlled by the Democrats to an extent that even they found losing them readership and thus money.

The Chinese don’t exactly have clean hands either there bud. They have millions of their own citizens suffering, and dying, by their own governments hands.

It's easy to gag opponents with "conspiracy theories" when you don't cut through the actual message. Academician Andrey Sakharov also did his work thinking it will lead to good things. Later in his life he had the gut to admit he was wrong. A researcher's good intentions and the actual use of his product when it falls into the hands of those who sponsored the work are orthogonal.
another way of looking at it: writing software becomes cheaper, so software becomes more accessible in more parts of the world - leading to more demand for more kinds of software, and more developers needed.

Being transgender is not a mental disorder or illness, but rather a natural variation of human diversity. Everyone has the right to express their gender identity in a way that is authentic and comfortable for them.

Gender dysphoria is a condition in which a person experiences distress, anxiety, and/or discomfort due to a discrepancy between their gender identity and the sex they were assigned at birth. This can include feeling like one’s body does not match one’s gender identity, feeling disconnected from one’s body, or feeling that one’s gender identity is not accepted or respected by others. People with gender dysphoria may experience a range of emotions, including depression, anxiety, and anger. They may also experience physical symptoms such as insomnia, fatigue, and changes in appetite. Treatment for gender dysphoria may include counseling, hormone therapy, and other medical interventions.

> I think the game needs to be rebalanced somehow to make it a less frutstating experience for A.) players.

Yep. The problem is some people want to play like A but the game seems balanced around people playing like B.

Dwarf fortress lets you opt into a lot of this madness with their biomes. You still survive in a friendly biome if you're playing like A.

And no, hand tuning every aspect of the game isn't a good option. By that point you've lost most of your players. There should be an easy default option.
This may not be true today. But when I first arrived in US in AZ, I was told Phoenix boasts highest numbers of golf club concentration in entire US, despite high water requirements of a golf club and being in middle of desert.

I suspect the ongoing Western US drought would have worsened the water situation.
