I think we fundamentally disagree on nature vs. universe.

What you ascribe to universe, I ascribe to nature, as seen on Earth and, as far as we know, nowhere else in the universe.

The universe doesn't evolve. The universe doesn't create sophisticated life. It just is, and changes, and moves toward entropy. Nature is just a very small and very young system within that, by pure chance or other unknown factors, has managed to move a little upstream.

Couldn't all clients always do a larger amount of iterations and not let that number be configurable at all?
The community of course will be always changing and there might be different ideas over time. The goal would probably be to keep most people as happy as possible - possibly customizing parts of the experience via feature flags so that (at least on the client side) everyone is able to match their likings.

This is just an idea though, it might be way more complicated than this and we'll need to think about this. Not only different people have different ideas, but also the same people might shift their ideas over time - we just have to be open to change over time and evolve as the community evolves.
Google's layoff was apparently pretty random; I wonder if they actually did lay off people at random. That'd avoid discrimination lawsuits at least…

You must have gone to a pretty well-to-do school, because in my D rated high school in FL in the early 00s, it was fairly common for teens to smoke.

Are you aware of the article your post is attached to?
I can't remember where I read that, but someone had made an interesting observation that stayed with me, and your comment makes me think of it (perhaps you're referring to the same article?)

What if instead of slowly dying of cancer, smoking had a tiny tiny chance of making you die by exploding your face? Exact same probability of dying, just very violent and graphic.

Chances are barely anyone would smoke. Yet, same death rate.

To answer your point, I think smoking is worse than making your head explode, it has a much greater societal cost in healthcare than if you were to die there and then, and creates much more suffering.
"Graduates", maybe? As in, "the Division of Robotics and Bioinformatics Applied CS graduates."
@jacktribe - All the best.

"Americano - Espresso with hot water.
$4.50 (Medium)
$4.50 (Large) "
Well all explanation, imv, is abductive. But in scientific abduction, the "types" are properties which obtain invariantly across "the space in which they're located". Eg., water heats the same regardless of where it is, assuming identical other conditions.

Whereas if we think of human society (, psychology, threats, etc.) as a space, then properties arent invariant (eg., there's path dependence).

Hence, I dont think there is such a thing as a "social science". I think we'd be better of ditching the term science entirely, and scrapping much of the scientific method here.

We need a new term, we arent building explanations, but rather ways of coping not having them. A kind of "empirical-speculative coping".
The decrease in particles with the smoking ban doesn't prove or disprove what I'm asserting, which is that (a) bleed air into the cabin was reduced and (b) filters were replaced less often, after the tobacco ban. In fact, what I'm saying is that the airlines leveraged the tobacco ban and commensurate reduction in measurable PM(2.5) as a legal excuse to reduce filtration of air five-fold, resulting in much higher levels of viral particles recirculating.

This kind of stack ranking was used at large investment bank (starts with M) about 10 years ago while I was working there as a C++ developer.

It resulted in a strategy where some teams have hired puffer people with the only purpose to have poor performance ratings assigned to them and let them go when the demand for such inevitably rose for such from HR.
This shielded the core team allowing them to focus solely on actual business requirements.

There were people in the office taking decent salary, doing barely anything with kind of no expectations of their performance whatsoever. Some were doing their masters, some hit the gym very hard, some were just chilling out.

This was my first lesson on how focus on tactical goals and metrics can fundamentally screw up the long term vision.

Using a tablet. That part is not actually that unusual. There's lots of educational apps available. And educational videos on Youtube. My oldest son taught himself English as a second language by putting Minecraft on English. Minecraft has excellent language support, and once you know the game well, you already know what everything is in your own language, so setting it to another language is an easy way to learn some words.
I’m curious as a hobby programmer - how would these issues be rectified? Hope that the source code is available to add in new defines for 64bit time? Patch existing libraries after stracing existing programs without source code? Might need to take a deep dive into C for 2038!

In France in the 80s and 90s there was no such thing as a non-smoking section in restaurants. You could smoke anywhere, everywhere, anytime, all of the time.

In high school our teachers would smoke, not in class but in the corridor leading to the classroom, and they would drop their cigarette buts on the door sill.

People would smoke in cars continuously, including my parents when we were toddlers. It was forbidden to smoke in elevators but people found that outrageous and absurd and often disregarded that rule.

I can’t put any numbers to this, but yes, it’s probably the case that as the ATV increases the dispute rate also increases, and probably particularly rare in the food service industry.

In my experience it can be rare even with an ATV in the thousands of dollars, but it’s still (unfortunately) a non-zero risk.

I started my DOOM port to the cross-platform sokol headers (https://floooh.github.io/doom-sokol/) from doomgeneric which was helpful at first, but since I had to 'slice' the various modal loops in Doom in order to make it work in a frame-callback app model (mainly for WASM without Emscripten's ASYNCIFY) it wasn't all that helpful in the end unfortunately since I had to rip out the original frame loop anyway.

The OP is running a distinctive coffee shop. Interacting with human staff is a feature. If I literally just want to drink a coffee then coffee vending machines already exist.
Children light up at every opportunity. If you've ever been in a row with a few of them, they have no control over the contents of their lungs. Smokers do, actually, ask in most cases.

In terms ten second-hand cigarettes damaging you on a flight, or ten coughing children, I don't understand how you think the smoke would be more dangerous. Cancer risk from smoke is cumulative, whereas risk from contagious diseases is immediate.
I always have to cringe about such exaggerate expressions, "excited to be your waiter" and the like. What is the intensification? It just feels like an unnecessary lie or even hypocrisy.

Profit sharing only works if you stick around long enough.

In the service industry, and especially amongst young people, it's common to pick up a job like this for a few months and make some money, then move on to something else. And that's okay, not everyone wants to make a career out of making coffee. It's still a good formative experience to have, while earning some money, and there's no reason why you shouldn't do it right and get rewarded for it.

But profit sharing won't work for someone that is around for a summer. For instance that person could benefit from any upswing caused by previous employees, but if they don't add a positive contribution to the customer experience themselves, they won't be around for the long-term impact. And if you don't give them an incentive at all for the first few months, then you're back to square one. Or even worse: they could negatively impact the profit sharing of employees that have been around for the long run.

Ultimately, money is a motivator and pretending like it's not does not make tipping go away. The problem with tipping as I see it, is that it masquerades the real cost of doing business.
How are you not understanding that they didn’t “cut filter expense by 80%”, but simply they get 1/5th as dirty?

If not less. My educated guess is they used to get changed more often than required due to clogging, and now they’re just changed based on some minimum required.

Have you ever lived with a smoker? My grandmother’s house used to have to be repainted every other year before her death. Do you think we just “greedily cut painting costs by 80%” because we repainted it once in ten years since, or might it have to do with walls yellowing due to particulate?
I would never say that I don't drink. So I wouldn't be part of the (in the case you refer to) 40%. But I almost never drink, and never very much anymore. Some years I've had maybe a couple of beers. I will take a little glass of wine a few times a year, at dinners. But I never feel the need to open a beer or drink wine at home. Had to dump most of my wine collection a while ago, the bottles were so old that when I checked, most of them had become vinegar. But if people ask if I don't drink alcohol I would never say "I don't". Because I do. I just don't have a wish to, most of the time.
Seconded. Opening a coffee shop anywhere is an act of bravery, but in L.A., well… Godspeed, my friend.

Funny you should complain about the quality of Google's products just after mentioning how Teams sucks.

Having a big community is probably what really should help kicking off the project - if the community counts 10 people with similar backgrounds it's very likely that the choices here will be biased. Having a bigger and more diverse community (with different backgrounds) should help have a more fair overview and by democratic voting the project should proceed in a way that it causes the least amount of people to not be happy with the choices.

I'll personally not protect my own ideas, because I'm not the project owner - it's meant to be a community effort and I expect to see waay more than one person in the driver seat.
Well no. They were both scams. It's just in the latter case you get to choose not to buy, but in the former your tax is spent on it to hide the costs.

Oh absolutely they have other things that have done well. But for every 1 successful product they have like 10 failed. Hence my comment of throwing mud at the wall to see what sticks.

I just think that we are giving them more credit than they deserve. Doesn't mean there aren't exceptionally talented people there. Can imagine some of the guys working on stadia would have been incredibly talented. But they killed it off, never even got to try it as it wasn't available in SG/TW.
This is highly context dependent. The police are not reliable in many (probably most) places in the world. In many places you're much better off with a direct confrontation.
What isn't a zero sum game? Someone really needs to go take a look at a graph of household buying power charted against GDP for the last 60 years.

Smaller diameter parabolic antennas have wider center beam peak gain area in focal axis, and less precise dead on aiming at a specific satellite. Something like a 90cm flyaway is worse than a 120cm flyaway.

In general the radiation pattern envelope (RPE) gets worse when viewed on an azimuth and elevation plot chart as the circular parabolic (or elliptical offset parabola) gets smaller.

Same general idea of why you might be able to successfully coordinate a fcc part 101 fdd band plan link terrestrially in a major urban area with a 120cm antenna with tighter RPE than same theoretical link if you submit it with cheaper antennas.

Oh, the dev tools?!

Yes, there's something not OK in FF in this regard. As I've clicked around in the inspector my fan went on and FF did hang for one or two seconds.

My best guess would be that it doesn't like such a "long line" (as it shows all the chars without line breaks in the inspector).

Also last year FF crashed once on my box while using the dev tools. I was shocked as usually nothing crashes on this box, ever.

So they have likely some severe bugs left in the dev tools, I guess.
"Quite a bit" is a lot better than "it's gone forever without any recourse", which is the "protection level" of cash.
I don't think an accident ever occurred because of smoking in the cabin? (Possibly one because of smoking in the lavatory, and I'm not even sure).

For smokers, going 4, 6 or 9 hours without smoking is just unthinkable; I know it was for me. So glad I quit (a very long time ago), but I don't know how smokers deal with it today.

That is really cool, thanks for a detailed writeup. I try to pay attention to the WebAuthn spec and did not realize this was possible.

I suspect that for most people, WebAuthn (esp with synced passkeys) is going to actually make the CI part of CIA possible for end user content on the internet. In practice it solves the UX around key management and device syncing issues - it passes the "your grandmother can use it" test IMO.

The web3 concept was caught up in cryptocurrencies and constraints around distributed systems; but extending asymmetric cryptography to end users is what should be worked on, as it allows improving most systems without financial or performance overhead. mTLS certs approached the issue but the UX never got there, and cannot be used outside of site authentication.

They get less visually dirty, but the same amount of human breath passes through them. It's not just that; the airlines cut the fresh air intake as a portion of circulated air. By not being as visually noticeable, they didn't need to change the filters as often; yet that meant that the filters would have 5x the viral load when they were finally changed out. They used the elimination of smoking as an excuse to save money on basic hygiene. Does this make sense?

No, you're thinking of something different, like making the password more complex.

While they made it confusing by using "12" for two different things, their analogy is completely correct.

Instead of each password/location having one box, it has a box within a box within a box[...]. You have to unwrap the entire stack to check if the treasure is there.

If you use an iteration count of 5000, then when you log in you unfortunately have to do 5000 hashes. But an attacker has to do 5000 hashes per password guess.

So a deep iteration count can't substitute for a good password, but it can make up for an extra few characters. And it's basically free to increase iterations until the wait becomes visible.
And I'd go the other way. We both get to do things the way we want without getting in each others way. The system works!
