I think for most personal/homelab users the issue is more how much attention running WP causes. You see the scans, once they know it is WP it escalates. Very targeted.

I completely agree you can reduce the risk in WP to an acceptable level. It has just become more work than most of us want for hobby projects if you want to do anything more than lock down basic.
The crux of it seems to be that pods use less coffee than the other methods. Part of that is blamed on people using more coffee than they need (because they don't measure properly). However, pods also inherently use much less coffee - I think they use something like 7g per pod whereas it's common to use 15-18g when brewing or making espresso.

But this is arguably a large part of the reason why a lot of coffee lovers don't like them. They use less coffee, and therefore don't have as much flavour, and trying to extract more flavour from less coffee leads to a bitter, over-extracted cup. Ultimately this is just the same as saying that using less of something (basically anything) is more environmentally friendly than using more of that thing. Which is quite likely true but also not that revolutionary (though I will admit the fact that so much of the carbon footprint of coffee is in the growing of the beans was interesting to me). Drinking water instead of coffee is more environmentally friendly again.

The study also claims to have taken into account the amount of waste that ends up in a landfill but that is not explored in the article so it's not clear how they do it. Do they just look at how that feeds into GHG emissions? Because I think preventing the generation of a huge amount of plastic waste is an end in itself, regardless of the impact on GHG emissions.
That's not what "public square" means in US law. Private property is a public square if it is open to the public.
Yeah but are they actually worse than the competition though? The whole industry is rife with that kind of crap (not like you're expect otherwise for a razor thin margin industry). I once worked somewhere they'd crib between the ground level pallets and first level racking so they could overload the racking (but my immediate manager was good and they put me on a forklift so I didn't care).

If anything the dehumanizing algorithmic tracking and optimization crap they do annoys me far more than the safety stuff.
a dividend is a payout of the companies earnings. rather, the portion the company has chosen not to spend on itself. That amount is divide up by how much % you own in the company. If you owned 50% of all the stock, you would directly receive 50% of their profits less re-investing come dividend time

the stock price is how much people are willing to pay for purchase said stock.(consider market share when looking at price, because 2 stocks at $5.2 is the same thing as 1 stock at $10.5)

so yes, from your gains perspective it is the same thing but the source of where the increase in your portfolio is entirely different

Roughly half of US voters disagreed with Roe/Casey. It's not an "attack on democratic institutions" that they were able to elect politicians who shared their views; that's how democracy works.

I agree that women's reproductive choices should not be subject to control by 50.1% of voters. The problem in this case is too much democracy, not too little.

I'm not a westerner fanboy of his. I am a black African. Met him and worked next him on a movie set in early 2016.

I've never seen a major actor act out in the good interest of a black foreigner, inexperienced in film, speaking unoptimal mandarin.

My encounters with him were mainly professional, in the span of 6 months. Hard for me to judge his character in a bad way. He might an overworker who shoulders the image of an entire nation's film industry. But he is success is well-earned. His later alignment with the CCP during the HK protests angered me a bit. But I had my fair share of unfair treatment by the CCP. I know they can be cruel. But Jackie is no bad boy, I swear.
> dividends plus inflation

Just to make sure I am following correctly, is this referring to the process which:

corporations have had their costs go up roughly 2% per year since 1928, so they have raised their prices roughly 2% per year, making it so that cost increases (labor/good/services/whatever) are "passthroughs" (assuming margins stay the same), passing along increases to customers (who have roughly had their pay increase 2% per year)

and because of this, corporations have stayed profitable (more profitable in dollars, "the same" profitable in percentage given margins/inflation?), and share prices have grown?

I don't blame platforms like Facebook, Twitter, etc for removing content subjectively. After all, they need to control spam.

Unfortunately things have been stepped up a notch recently and Tier 1 ISPs are now engaged in site blocking themselves. Even if you run all of your own server, these ISPs can prevent customers from connecting to your web site. Only around 5 Tier 1 ISPs control access to all of the internet.

This was the situation Net Neutrality was designed to prevent, ironically gutted by Republicans in 2016.

Actual comparison of injury rates show yes they are much worse than the industry average.

Amazon’s extreme turnover rate is also significant. Someone that’s been doing a job for longer has both the skill and physical capacity to avid injury doing the same tasks as a new employee. This compounds over long shifts as people get tired, so limiting new employees to 8 vs 12 hour shifts would make a real difference among other options.
Not massively. The theory within psychotherapy is quite messy at the moment. It's one of the reasons I'm training to be one. Why Love Matters is a good book though.

Re: 2 and 3.

I'd stick to USDC over USDT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-whuXHSL1Pg&t=194s. USDC still has capitalisation statements. USDT doesn't.

Eth is indeed slow and expensive, but more people (as in: active wallets) use Solana (a fast and cheap layer 1) than the any of the eth layer 2s these days.

Only in the sense that money that would have been taxed as income was instead paid to charities. Simplified example, they took in $200 and paid $50 of that to a charity. At 10% they paid $15 in taxes instead of $20. If you think charities are overall a net positive (and especially if you think they’re more efficient at getting money to the right places than the government) a loss of $5 in government revenue for $50 into charities seems like a good deal
I'm not arguing one is better than another. Just pointing out that there has been an ongoing investigation that was publicized and directed by a Hollywood director to drum up clips, news stories and support from their supporters and to pain their enemies in bad light.

Now that the pendulum has swing the other way the other side will get their chance to blow through millions and create their own circus for their supporters.

It's kinda amazing how they don't realize that the power they seize can and will be wielded by their enemy with absolutely no remorse.

AWK is a great tool, but I found it lacking when working with CSV files where the separator is found in quoted fields [0]. In this case, European number formatting was the problem, tripping up Sqlite's import.

I resorted to pandas, where the CSV import has parameters for the thousands and decimal separators.

Donald Sarason's "Complex Function Theory".
There are bigger more complete books on complex analysis. There are even ones that are more appealing, like "Visual Complex Functions" by Elias Wegert.

Sarason's book is only 160 pages long, with legible text and clear examples. It covers the length of an undergraduate university class, and explains Holomorphic functions perfectly. The proofs are crystal clear, and so are the motivations. I haven't seen a better introduction.
This is a recurring theme by now: American company decides to look at the law in the narrowest way possible and to try to find a loophole to keep doing what they were doing, European legislators insist that you take the intent to heart and try to do your best to comply with that. This will probably happen many more times before the coin will finally drop.
So many wrong things in this comment, which is generally uncalled for given the article is quite good (which cannot be said of all GDPR related coverage).

So, duty calls[1]:

> This decision is from the Irish data privacy regulator, DPC. They are "in charge" of this investigation because Facebook's EU subsidiary is in Ireland. They are not a "lead" regulator in any sense of the word.

The DPC are officially acting on this case as the "lead supervisory authority" as defined in the GDPR ("Article 56 - Competence of the lead supervisory authority").

> In fact, this decision does not come from the DPC.

In fact it actually does come from the DPC. The process is:

- DPC issues draft decision, after conducting an investigation, etc.

- Other authorities in impacted countries ("concerned supervisory authorities" in the official terms of the GDPR) chime in, provide comments, and possibly disagree with the draft decision (they raise "objections")

- The authorities try to aree, and if they don't, they have a dispute that gets resolved at the European Data Protection Board

- The EDPB takes a binding decision, which is imposed on the DPC (and the other concerned authorities)

- The DPC takes notes of the decision, and issue their sanction accordingly.

In the end, it is indeed a decision formally issued by the DPC against WhatsApp. That's why Meta need to appeal against the DPC in Irish Courts - and why Meta cannot appeal direclty in the European General Court against the EDPB.

> The DPC's decision was to pussy out and issue a smaller fine, and rubber-stamp several of Facebook's arguments. Their authority to do so was overturned by the regulators for other countries, and by the EDPB (EU-level agency). The EDPB is also requiring the DPC to do more investigations which will probably eventually result in even more fines.

> GDPR fines tend to be about specific issues related to specific complaints. [...] There has NOT been a general "is Whatsapp in its entirety compliant with GDPPR" investigation yet.
> The EDPB-mandated investigation is creeping closer to that.

Actually, the EDPB's request is also specific: it is asking the DPC to look precisely about the part of the complaint on WhatsApp's use of sensitive data ("special categories" under GDPR Article 9).

I certainly learned the "old" version as PEMDAS.
Haha appreciate you taking a look. One use case is to prevent merge conflicts, especially when working on a fast-moving project. Merge conflicts generally occur when you make changes on some old code. Jamsync constantly "rebases" your changes on top of new changes so that your code will always be up to date. Obviously some merge conflicts will still occur but much less so in this approach.
While I'm sure this isn't the real reason, I could see that the accounting and check-cutting for 1 million organizations will have an noticeable impact on the amounts they're giving to each organization, especially the ones that get almost nothing.

Others have already suggested cutting the list of charities down to a manageable number, perhaps from the list of charities that got the most interest already. I suspect this would end up producing bad PR from their curated list, so they've decided to just pick a handful and be done.

But again, I suspect there was more to this and we'll never know the real reason.
Why? Corporations are made up of people, and people have causes they want to be charitable towards. If you’re going to be bringing in millions of dollars anyway, why not pay some of that out to causes you believe in.

It’s only weird if you assume all corporations should be amoral money exchange systems where by money is exchanged for labor and capital which in turn is exchanged for more money
> I feel it is unfair to expect things from people for which they didn't spent year and money to study

Studies are always falling behind real world needs.

Also, your words could be rephrased as "I don't expect to learn at work".

Or a mindset of an engineer that wants a higher salary. You seem to recognize that shareholders have a demand for those types of engineers. And trust me, the supply is extremely scarce.
Have you tried Wise (formerly TransferWise)? I don't know if they have issues with transfers to Ukraine, but in general they have provided an excellent service for paying contractors in foreign currency.

We also use Deel and I can recommend it. It's $50/month for contractors which is usually sufficient depending on employment law (FTE through Deel is more expensive ). They handle all payments and we just connect our bank account. Contractors can choose to be paid in their currency which is facilitated through Wise.
My pandemic project in 2020 was to finally read through the used copy I bought a decade ago. I agree it was really useful at building foundational intuitions. And that it doesn't use professional jargon which sometimes makes Stats Wikipedia's "death by integrals" approach a dense barrier to entry.

For example, the book uses "the box model" all over the book but is not used anywhere else, and every else uses the phrase "i.i.d" which is not used in the book.

Still, it's been really useful at my job in reasoning about timeseries data from Prometheus, especially in canary analysis. Far more useful than the whirlwind tour of distributions my 1 semester "Statistics for Engineers" course in college undertook.
> I wonder how much of this is a custom designed solution versus using simpler off the shelf parts. (IE, Someone was a little too specific in making their requirements, and the installer had to do highly custom work when something standard would get most of the way there.)

It’s precisely this. There are plenty of commmercial off-the-shelf lighting controls systems by established companies like Lutron, Acuity, Wattstopper, Douglas, and Hubbell. The company in question changed hands several times in a few years, which is not a good sign for operations and maintenance support.

The electrical engineer for the school probably specified his buddy’s fly-by-night lighting controls line in the bid documents instead of specifying an established manufacturer’s lighting control system and the school gets left holding the bag. Fun!

> Absolutely not. Not supporting more than 1-bit alpha was a huge reason to avoid doing anything serious with PNGs if you cared about IE6

That makes absolutely no sense, because there was no other format which could do progressive transparency on IE, and short of animation palletised PNG is superior to GIF. And for non-photographic full-color, PNG is generally much better than JPEG.

So avoiding PNG just gave you larger files or worse results for no gain.

Insurance underwrites active war zones all the time with war risk cover / premium. Otherwise PRC has the 2nd largest (and growing) merchant fleet and can insure on their own in event of sanctions, which is unlikely because many trade dependent nations are much more vulnerable to disruption. Overall, affected sure, but again it’s a matter of how much. I contend not much, at least not enough to deter in a limited TW scenario with only PRC and TW as belligerents. Attacks on commercial shipping happen near coasts, look at where Mokova hit Iranian attacks on Gulf shipping occurred in the last few years, and that’s from define belligerents operating from much more permissive conditions. All the while energy continues to flow from the Gulf. Strait / adjacent routes “near” TW warzone can be diverted even further out, a few 100 nms to be nowhere "near '' active warzone, incidentally why this article's assumption that PRC controlled TW would threaten JP shipping is stupid. Naval warfare between PRC + US where shipping can be disrupted is a different story, but again, that’s why PRC building CONUS strike deterrent. Otherwise, limited PRC-TW scenario I imagine much less than zero covid levels of shipping disruption, few months to a year depending on how fast PRC rushes blockade, with single digit % hit on economy.
I agree that one should attempt to answer the /intended/ question.
