The problem may be that once dispersed into soil, water, and air, the cost of mitigation is too high apply any of these techniques.

Since many of these chemicals are toxic at absurdly low concentrations removing them from the environment is not practical.

Fun fact: Fuel cell cars leave a trail of PFAS behind them. Can you imagine a better way of dispersing them?

1. If the doc is worth $220K, why couldn't the practice that hired him match the offer to save themselves the $250K they spent hiring him? This feels like exactly the kind of wage suppression that the FTC is arguing against.

2. Workers are not serfs to be bought and sold. If the acquiring company wants the talent, then they should structure the deal in a way that makes the talent want to stay, not use legal handcuffs to force them to.

3. I can see this as an argument for noncompetes being legal in some very limited cases, but most jobs don't need this. Others have suggested requiring garden leave in lieu of a noncompete, and in the few roles where this applies I suspect that would work out fine.
The physical realm seems largely picked clean, but there is bountiful fruits available in the metaphysical realm - shame that ~no one can see it, despite complaining about it constantly.

Seems like they have sort of a Notion-like approach to spreadsheets

I agree it's pretty cool. What I'd really love to see though is something like Jupyter Notebooks + Spreadsheets. If blocks of code and blocks of spreadsheets could talk to each other, it'd definitely be a killer feature for me
Was mildly interested until the price. They need to reel that in a bit if they want to appeal to more of an audience.

Actually, in all those ways, middle management and HR are actually very similar lol.
It uses the OpenAI embedding models to get around the context window problem. You can compress large amounts of text/code into just a few tokens.
I feel like that's a somewhat out-of-touch interpretation, as Stadia failed largely because of Google's terrible reputation and the (completely valid) concerns from gamers about companies intending to turn even single player games into fragmented streaming platforms where the content is entirely dependent on the whims of the company (a fitting example being Google doing its thing and killing Stadia). They had no shortage of GPUs.

NVIDIA's streaming service is doing relatively fine in comparison. They simply share a GPU between several users for anything that isn't demanding enough. They also get around some of the concerns about gaming being turned into another streaming style fragmented mess by not actually selling the games. You simply log into your account on Steam/GOG/whatever and play the games you already own as you might on a local PC.

Additionally, "building something that can reliably output reasonable-quality 3d graphics without relying on specific GPU technologies" doesn't make much sense to me. If it's an accelerator designed to handle relatively modern 3d graphics, due to the programmability of a modern graphics pipeline it's effectively just a GPU. There aren't any underlying technologies that are required to be used as long as they can produce a similar output (mobile GPUs tend to have a different approach to how they implement the graphics pipeline compared to desktop GPUs for instance).
Sometimes the easiest way to make that 'stop happening' is to force out the person reporting the problem. :/
Where is all the money people paying tradespeople going? If I need any plumbing work done it costs me $200 an hour or more. Even with overhead and expenses, 10 hours a week gets you more than $50k a year. Twenty years ago my grandfather was a marine plumber and made $200k a year. How many apprentices and part-time plumber are in these datasets?
I don't think that the parent understood where I was coming from when he called my position a what-about strawman. I'm sure that was in good part because I didn't do a good job of communicating what I was thinking. I attempted to fix that with additional information. Understanding what others are thinking and why is often helpful, especially in a democracy.
How much of that $5B was actual cash, and how much was various loans/swaps/promises/tokens/paper money?
I think this is wishful thinking. People's preferences aren't going to change overnight (I don't see a reason this one would change at all), and manufacturers are already making a tough sell with EVs themselves, so they'll cater extra hard to other familiar things people already want

The only way I see this changing is regulation, and that would be political suicide for whoever pushed it in the US (the main place where it would be relevant)
UPS and similar companies might invest. Companies with big warehouses.

I'm skeptical Amazon would.
So the area of disagreement is that his view is rosy...?
The academic literature is sterile in this regard: it's just circling around the theological dogma. I'm saying all this to evoke curiousity so others do some discovery on their own. I think that western scholars havent found much is because this kind of literature is fragmented across many nations and religions.
a view would allow you to change a field's type.

something like this

CREATE VIEW table_read_api AS

not sure that the view is an internal structure because it will be exposed via API as it is.

> please also say why you don't like Org Mode.

I don't like that Org mode takes 30+ seconds to load on a windows laptop.
After the library is loaded everything is fast for the rest of the Emacs session. There's thought in the Emacs world that loading time doesn't matter because you rarely restart Emacs. Org abuses this philosophy to the extreme.

This slow loading has made me shy away from using org mode as a documentation format for projects. I noticed some projects switched to org instead of markdown. Until load performance improves it's simply not an option.
As things currently stand - hard. LogViewPlus is written in .Net using WinForms, so it is heavily tied to Windows. However, Microsoft is evolving. The bulk of the code can now be made to be cross-platform easily, but the front-end remains a problem.

I would love to do a Linux port as soon as there is a viable cross-platform GUI technology with strong 3rd party vendor support. The controls in LogViewPlus are very rich.
Interesting. Here in Chile we can do almost everything with our Intenert connection.

I dont know now that we signed the TPP11 how things are going to change.
Yeah, having been in that situation, my thought is that negotiation is worth a go, but the real response is having a good BATNA. Yet another reason to have savings at the 6-months-of-expenses level.
Come on bud, most Americans are fine with guns, but if I made a gun that only shoots pregnant women cowering in fear that pose no threat to the wielder, I think people would be rightly upset.

People can argue that generating loli content is an alright thing to do (good luck), but at least one of the embeddings linked was explicitly finetuned to generate loli content.

> If so, what a damning indictment on the rich, well connected, "woke" cultural elite running this country. The right has been pointing out for a while that the cultural elite seem disconnected from reality. We'll, here's some hard evidence that supposition may in fact be correct. Call it an "elite" bubble, where they're so disconnected from reality that whatever they seem to believe works out, so they must all be geniuses. The people setting cultural policy in this country are untethered from any sort of day-to-day reality.

Why does this have to be a left/right thing for you?

There are grifters in all parts of society, and in all cultural groups. And there's no connection between wealth and intelligence, so there will always be a never-ending line of people with money who will fall prey to said grifters.

Political allegiance and cultural beliefs have nothing to do with it.
30% is few hundred to thousand euros. That is not actually trivial change in income. Specially considering what you have leftover paying for housing, transport and food.
One is enough to make it sux for everybody. And fairly often, the team is assigned people without leader having the say in advance - especially when it comes to people from other teams.
China the country, not Chinese the race. They’re not the same, and it’s not racism to throw shade at a country that deserves shade.
Thanks! I took some inspiration from discussion on that page, however my solution differs because instead of hard coding everything it instead calculates the multiplicative inverse and affine transformation separately. This is worse in terms of space but it lets you more clearly represent the two s-boxes as those two operations composed applied element wise to [0, 256]. You can also use this code to do multiplicative inverses over any field GF(2^n), just change the parameters and supply a new irreducible polynomial. I implement the totality of binary finite field arithmetic here: https://gist.github.com/juliusgeo/9e4eff4c0519f7f7b9af122d59...

I had a pentium 66 with just a huge heat sink. My pentium 133 had a fan but when I upgraded to a k6-2 I under clocked it so I could just use a heatsink. It was 2015 before I finally got another fanless computer.
Word is, IIRC, that Paragon also isn't keeping the driver updated. Doesn't seem to bode well.
> only reasonable option is to beam highly energetic beam back to Earth

This is how we should do it. But we can’t. Fortunately, the sat-to-sat laser folks are working on that kit. In the meantime, these proposals tend to focus on microwaves.

In any case, to the degree this one day has an economic case around Earth, it’s in powering low-orbit satellites. Not punching through the atmosphere. That said, I don’t have any obvious near-term high-power use cases for a LEO constellation.
I've always wondered if it would be possible to purchase the rights to things and then just let them be public domain. Most of that stuff isn't making any money for anyone, would a lump sum be enough to get it there?
honestly it is such an amazing tool for productivity. Especially getting ideas. I don't think I would ever feel ok, just straight publishing the content created by anyone else including an AI, but such an amazing tool for getting ideas and direction
Sounds about right, but when you reverse that, why wouldn't woman do something that she can?

Judging from experience, mostly man do that.
Based on this meme, in case I get downvoted for swearing: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/how-to-draw-an-owl
I think if you can write some pseudocode that summarizes the computation, it would help. I think I and others have seen the Github repo, but generally don't know where to start to analyze what it's doing.

For example, for computer security, if you write a stochastic algorithm pseudocode such that the cellular automata are essentially doing a "search" for something, an that the cellular automata replicate and scale for the purpose of this stochastic search, I think that would help people understand your computational model better. At least for me!
Cloud cover doesn't affect microwaves?
It's interesting to consider Marx's viewpoint here, namely that businesses are always, even during good times, in a rigorous exploitation contest for the right to stay in business; and so only the businesses that use every possible means of exploiting their workers to the max, and thus piling up the biggest heap of surplus value as liquid assets; will be able to draw on pile that long enough to survive severe economic downturns (thus selecting for max exploitation over the longer run.) (Really a dollar auction, not that he used that phrase.) This seems esp poignant, and accurate, re low-wage and low-skill workers having to sign non-compete clauses. (Downturns were both more frequent and more severe in Marx's day.)

However I think Marx would be confounded by the Justice Department fully pushing this initiative, if indeed it does; since he believed the elites had an iron grip on democracies that was not going to be shaken. He would have predicted a far higher GINI than the (kinda high) one we have. More like Russia's, at least.

I may be selling him short though, he might view the Justice Dept action as mostly theatre; allowing other forms of exploitation to proceed apace and only addressing abusive clauses that weren't being enforced anyway; and the expansion of skilled and better-paid work in our day as only an apparent exception to his views.
> explicitly says that those same account owners have no permissions of their own for the data

"Twitter has not obtained permission for you" is not the same as "you have no permissions"

You have whatever permissions you brought to the table, and nothing else.
I think the argument would be that if Google knows that Bing could hire its chief of staff at any time, that will cause Google to invest less in R&D because that R&D could fairly easily be obtained by a competitor.

I assume intellectual property law is sufficient to cover this case in practice though, because Silicon Valley is in California where noncompetes are unenforceable, and Silicon Valley is not exactly known for lack of R&D investment.
I wouldn't go around admitting that some horrible people are allowed to maintain power as HR managers and then ask where the cynicism is coming from.
My base salary is actually above market by a decent margin.

Total compensation is a little lower than market if you assume the options are worthless. But if we get to a $5B valuation, the value of my options would put me to a significantly over-market compensation, though not enough to retire. If we reached $30B, then that would give me ~$6M assuming no dilution.
You mean solar in space specifically right?

Because solar back on earth makes a lot of sense, whereas solar back in space to beam down on earth make no sense.
If you steal a knife from my house, and stab someone with it, am I an accessory to the crime because it's my knife? No.

Texas Instruments isn't at fault if someone buys their chips legally, but turns around and resells them to the Russians. That'd be an insane standard to set, both ethically and legally.

If an American company is deliberately selling components to Russia, by all means, nail them to the wall for violating sanctions. That's not what has happened here, though.

Yeah I have always liked OLED tech for the blacks and colors. It's good to hear that you haven't had to connect your TV to the internet. I have some vague memories of news stories about TVs connecting to nearby open networks and stuff like that, so I don't like the idea of network hardware in my TV at all. Maybe if I get a well known brand it would be okay. Something to think about for when my TV dies. Just before moving I had been playing Xbox on a monitor I found by the side of the road, and somehow my 2008 TV feels like it has WAY better blacks and colors than that old monitor, so I feel like I've upgraded anyway!
I don’t think anything about it. That’s why I said “if”.

It does. (Ozone and water absorb microwaves. This is how your microwave oven works.)
This is in line with the reported 10% slashing of Salesforce in general.
In my life experience an unsavory character turned law abiding citizen I found that I used to think ill of cops but after I changed, miraculously cops seemed to turn into amazing fantastic people.

So I take all of these "cops are evil" claims with a grain of salt and seek out more context clues to what would initiate an interaction with LEO in the first place.
Did you write your own YouTube scraper, which would be quite a task, or is this based on something like ytdl? Might be worth mentioning in the readme.
We can see that after the establishment of the National Science Foundation is that many companies have had organizations that have also accelerated scientific research. Also before the national Science Foundation most people that participated in Science already had money to begin with considering the great amount of money required to not be working in a factory. Also the companies are self sustaining.

First of all, I apologize for my broken English, I stopped using YouTube because it was too bloated and insecure, now I am looking for an alternative, useful and combined workflow with mpv that tracks the status of whether the videos are watched by me or not, can you share your workflow?
Well some folks I know feared longCOVID meant lifetime disabilities for a majority of those diagnosed. So 80% (estimated) to 25% probably reassures those people. 25% is not trivial so I'm still wearing masks at stores/events/etc and doing flex WFH.

It's an idiom that dates back to the 1500s that means accidentally getting rid of the good part of a subject while trying to get rid of the bad part.

Not exactly corporate or jargon.
I don't know if you've noticed, but there's this little state "California" that gets a lot of press in the start-up scene. Non-competes are basically illegal there, and it doesn't seem to have hampered either the start-ups, nor the build up of megacorporations who buy them.
> While I appreciate the sentiment, nearly all new knowledge goes through peer review...

Only knowledge that originates in academia, and even then only a portion of it.

> because for every important problem in academia, there's a competitor who is the best person to point out problems with the theory.

While this may be generally true, it is not absolutely true.

> "Holistic management of agriculture to fight desertification" is a non-quantitative science...

Partially non-quantitative.

Also: it'a (partially) true, but so what?

> ...and falls under a very different regime from, say, people working at the state of the art in particle physics or biology.

Right: one is known to be important, and the others are (at this point in time) hoped to be important (as they have been in the past).
I read this as Polygon's nfts...too much web3 for me recently.
What you say is a fair caution. I have not openly told my kid that I expect them to have kids, its just an internal hope. The only thing I really pressure them on currently is trying their best at school and whatever sports they choose to play (the what is up to them except I make them take boxing). If they try their best and still don't do well then its on me for not sitting down with them to explain things they were having an issue with or it just is what it is, no blame. As far as conservative leanings, I'm not religious and prior to reaching my current age was actually fairly liberal (but not the crazy kind). I think getting older and having kids has tempered that and given me more of a conservative political bent but hopefully not the crazy kind :)
European families seem to do OK using public transit.
Agree. Especially considering that rollerskates and rollerblades kind of already fulfill this function (just are bulkier, and take more skill to use, but honestly are easy enough to learn) and people don't usually use those for commuting in urban areas.

That said, when I lived in Chicago, I used to see a lady who rollerbladed to the office. I am sure you're thinking, "Young techie, jeans & t-shirt", but you'd be wrong. 40's or late 30's, dressed like an exec. Wearing a dress, make-up, string of pearls, with a fancy handbag, nice haircut. I don't think this is a relevant data point (clearly an outlier), I just thought it was awesome and wanted to share.
There are a lot of requirements that need to be met to make non-competes enforceable in MD, eg must meet salary bar, geographic location and duration must be specified, etc.

But I don't think it requires paying the employee during the non-compete time.
Covering how to practically use it is far too much for a single post (and I don't think I really claimed to teach assembly... I just want to give people the tools they need to start learning assembly). This was mainly to get people to not be scared and start reading asm, which is really the only way you can learn this stuff. In my opinion, writing a hello world in asm is not useful for most people. But learning enough to understand what part of a complex C++ expression caused a program to crash is much easier, and more widely useful. My plan for future posts is to talk about common compiler-generated code patterns to help people recognize what's causing a crash even if they don't understand every line of asm.
Now you've gone too far. Geocities is the only one of these I've actually heard of!

Happened to the "white widow" from England, who was a fairly boring white English girl without remarkable connections. She had far less money and was protected in Somalia. She also is far more wanted as she was an actual terrorist who helped kill people.

She is protected by various Islamic groups in the Somalia/Kenya border region, it is believed and evades determined capture by the rich Anglosphere nations.

Even that seems too much in favor of non-competes. Instead it should simply be treated like another job that I can quit at-will.

If you don't want me to work for a competitor, pay me some amount of money we negotiate like a salary. It's up to you if you think it's worth enough to pay me not to work, and me to be paid enough not to advance my career how I choose during that time.
