> The amortized cost for me is much less than any alternative Android.

I think that with the trade-in program, I've spent a similar amount between 2016 and now upgrading to flagship OnePlus phones every year-ish. The software updates have been good. For example, OnePlus 8 series were the first non-Google smartphones to receive Android 13. They were about 2 years old at the time.

The bathtub curve of reliability applies to smartphones as it does to most electronics. The "infant mortality" failures can be covered by manufacturer warranty pretty well. But the "wear out" failures go up a lot in electronics after the first few years in my experience (with both Apple and other brands). In case of Apple, battery degradation and a bunch of build quality "-gates" come to mind.

So there is value in upgrading one's smartphone every year or two, ecology aside. I could do that with OnePlus phones but it might have been much too expensive for me to do it with iPhones.
Reduction of iron ore to metallic iron (DRI, "direct reduced iron").
This is entirely right. The feature as it exists is insane if it doesn't guarantee consistent hashes. However, there are alternatives even in the face of an adversarial GitHub. Every software project could agree on a manifest format and some kind of PKI/WoT to distribute certificates.

Pigs would fly first, but it's possible!
tl;dr - no, there are no solutions. If you cannot fix the source of stress then you’re fucked.

I also agree with the sentiment. Anytime my stress levels rise - my sleep goes back to shit. Is there a solution? Nope!

If you cannot fix the source of stress then you need to learn to embrace the madness. Learn to just accept you’re not getting more than 5 hours of sleep a night and you’ll be better off for it - instead of sitting in bed for 8-10 hours everyday and majority of it wishing you were asleep. Embrace the 2am fall asleep crash and the 6am wake up hustle.

Truly is a nightmare to live through but that’s life.
You are allowed to spy on other countries only as long as you are really good at it. Sending a random weather balloon to fly over another country definitely doesn't cut it.

Does 100% efficiency here mean that the energy of the hydrogen equals the energy used to produce it?
2000 and 2002 were just two years apart, inconsequential [to world politics and the state of the world].
Tether does not need perfect 1-1 backing to work. If there are enough funds for everyone who wants to convert to dollars or to sell on the market, it's fine. There has never bene a situation in which all the reserves are needed. The market depth is big enough that it works. I think this is part of why it has proven so resilient.
Grossly higher capital cost of batteries per kWh of storage capacity is one of the major points that defenders of hydrogen respond with.

But getting this stuff wrong takes more effort than just copying the actual facts from the article you are providing a link to!

And just referring to a person who is named and credentialed in the article as 'a guy' just seems like throwing a layer of extra carelessness on top.

I just can't fathom how someone accomplishes this.

If there's one thing I try to encourage people to do in online discourse in general, it's to recognize that you don't have to guess. You have time to go look up the facts. Things are knowable, you don't have to vaguely gesture in the direction of the truth.

And in this case the op had the source right there! They must have googled up the link and opened the page and copied the URL! The facts were right there, in the next tab!
Revoking qualified immunity just seems like the wrong solution. It seems impossible for a police officer to do their job for 20 years without once having a situation where the preponderance of the evidence could suggest that there are grounds for damages.

> My Google compensation was dominated by stock grants, so it varied wildly. What I’m earning now per year is: slightly less than my first year at Google (which included a significant signing bonus), drastically less than I earned in 2021 (when the signing stock grant overlapped with three stock refreshes, and $GOOG was at record highs), and more than I would have made in 2022 had I stayed (even accounting for all benefits on one side and the salary of my assistant on the other side).

That is vague. A specific number would have been much better.

According to levels.fyi [1] as of Feb 2023, a Senior Software Engineer at Google (L5) could negotiate a compensation package around USD $193k (base) + $119k (RSU) + (one-time) $26k signing bonus.

I have talked to Filippo in person and I have the impression that he was a Staff Software Engineer (aka. Google L6), which are supposedly able to negotiate around USD $244k (base) + $187k (RSU) + (one-time) $35k signing bonus.

These numbers are averages based on verified offer letters and RSU grant documents that Google employees have submitted to that website during the last couple of years, but I think the numbers do not account for annual RSU refreshers, performance bonus, or stock performance. That is what Filippo is referring to as “it varied wildly”. I still would have liked to see a comparison with real numbers, at least the base salary.

I think it is more that a large part of one party is being told things have never been worse by a very loud megaphone. That they believe it is not that surprising, all told.

If there were objective measures that folks were basing any of this on, it would be one thing. But the news isn't that 71% of Americans believe things are bad. The story is a bit more that "the two parties in America are increasingly polarized on their view of how the country is doing."

To respond to your edit:

> Hunting for UB via static analysis and then changing your output based on whether you find it simply is not what the word "ignoring" means.

Why not? A static analysis pass can flag a code path as containing UB, and future passes can then ignore that path. Sure sounds like "ignoring" to me.
no rush. i thought it would be pretty powerful for your tool. glad you are already thinking along those lines.
There is no point in running something so unpractical.

He would not have been only a "middle manager" at Google. Mark was (maybe still is) a 100x developer. He would have had a meteoric career at Google. By now, he would have $100 million in the bank.

Midrange android phones last me 6 years easy these days.

iPhones all have top of the line chips. A bunch of junk iPhone 8s I have lying around have better Geekbench scores than my android daily driver. I mean sure it's great, but they're overkill no matter what way you swing it.

Yet I still use the large screen OLED 90hz $250 android and it works just fine.

Why? I charge it once a week.

Just eyeballing the list of adjectives used, the real story here is that OpenAI flags a lot of sentences that are essentially meaningless as hateful. I notice that he uses words like "evil" and "idiotic" in his diagram, but looking at his source code, his list of "356 adjectives signifying negative traits/behavior" contains the following (just to pick a few):

'airy', 'conformist', 'dark', 'escapist', 'hidebound', 'plain', 'silly', 'tense', 'withdrawn'

So this whole discussion is really about whether the sentence:

"It is in the nature of normal weight people to be hidebound" is hateful. It's sort of a meaningless question because it's a meaningless sentence. Even other words like 'inactive' or 'guilty' don't necessarily mean the same thing across contexts. Does "Catholics are guilty" mean the same thing as "blacks are guilty?" Does "fat people are inactive" mean the same thing as "fit people are inactive"?

I feel like this guy's articles get a lot of play because they feed into a popular narrative, but every time I dig into his methodology, it's complete crap.

Huawei is privately owned (by the workers). There’s nothing stopping anyone else from choosing that.

The moment I start a company, I own 100% of it. There’s no reason that I can’t hire someone for $X and Y shares per year (provided they agree, of course), exactly as Huawei does. It is very likely that some people would prefer $X+n and 0 shares rather than $X and Y shares. (This is especially true if those shares are not publicly sellable.) Someone else might prefer $X-n and 2*Y shares per year. If that’s agreeable to the shareholders (me, in this example) and the employee, we’re free to strike that deal as well.
Upgrading every year is all cost to me. It has been many years since iPhones are sufficiently good, that I do not care enough about the marginal increases in speed/battery/screen/camera. If I have to spend any effort and time erasing my old phone and restoring a new one, and then doing the work to trade it in, is cost I would rather not incur.

I am also not aware of any battery-gate degradation issues. Around a thousand charge cycles, every 3 years maybe, I pay to get the battery replaced at Apple or Best Buy.
> This really varies from location to location (and definitely varies based on race/ethnicity and culture of parents). Where I am there is such a shortage of foster-homes that they really push for in-home services over removing the child.

Let me distinguish CFS desires from society. I've lived in well to do areas to poor areas to relatively lawless areas in the United States. In all of them, with some variance (rich are the worst), you will get reported for the smallest of infractions.

A few of my personal least favorites. Feeding your child goat milk (I kid you not). For a 2 year old toddler who dislikes clothes stripping while outside while parents chase them down. For having a child home during school hours, like ever. Letting a sleeping child sit in a car's car seat for 30 seconds to go back into a building/house for a small item.

Just the tiniest of perceived infractions and it's a report.

Then there are the falsified revenge-reports. Gas company did bad work and they had to come out and fix it, revenge report an unsuitable state of the house. Neighbors don't like xxx... Etc...

CFS doesn't care about all of this. Sometimes they do some of it. But this is often what kind of stuff is in their dossiers.

> In my experience neglect is actually far worse for the child than physical abuse

I generally agree here. And parents are far more likely to shove a phone or tablet at their kids than spend a few hours listening to them and their joys and concerns. You just can't fix this with an outside agency.

The assumption is that gender and crime aren't related. The burden of proof is on showing that two things are related IMO. Black history and criminalization are related so you need to give context for that relationship.
Unlikely. What with thermodynamics. I'd guess it's something like "nearly" hides some sins and ignoring things other than oxygen that result hide the rest.

Indeed this solution has been standard in much of Europe for decades.

It seems to have had slower uptake in the US. Donald Norman’s ”The Design of Everyday Things”, 2013 edition, contains this passage in a list of different faucet designs (p. 151):

> Control temperature and rate of flow. Use two separate controls, one for water temperature, the other for flow rate. (I have never encountered this solution.)

I e-mailed Don about it a few years ago, and by then he had encountered it.
there has been some really incredible progress in immunology recently. my partner deals with some immune system issues and the new therapies have made an incredible change in her quality of life, though there's still a long way to go.

i am a mere programmer so my understanding is limited but i was really impressed with Immune by Philipp Dettmer[1] of Kurzgesagt on youtube. it helped immensely with getting my bearings and being able to understand a good chunk of the systems involved at a high level. i tried my partners undergrad immunology textbook afterwards and it was overwhelming, so Immune is a great balance.

I can't pretend to know enough about the actual implications of this, but I have to wonder - if the goal is to encourage contributors, why not grease the wheels further on fedpkg/mock?

Why must we all have even slower performance? This is more of an aside - I love Fedora, but it already stands out of the pack as a bit slower than others.

It's not particularly difficult to rebuild things as-is, is my point - I suppose.

It all feels so self-fulfilling. People will want to profile (and benefit from this more)... because things that are context-switch heavy may have slowed down considerably.

I certainly wouldn't imply that it is!

I think the read that you and some others are getting out of my post is that "the Western tradition is bad", which wasn't the intention - I repeatedly praised the works, after all! And to be fair there's lots of outspoken, stupid voices in the so-called culture wars that do say things like that, so I see why you might've made the assumption.

The point I was trying to make is that - contra to many prevailing modernist attitudes at the time - is that the Western tradition alone won't lead us to utopia, shield us from atrocities, make us enlightened and peaceful, bring us to The Blissful End of History. This is not to say that the Western tradition is bad; it's to say that it's still a work-in-progress, a thing to be interrogated and questioned, something we can look outside of; not a calcified list of hundreds-of-years-old Great Works which, upon reading, will automatically confer greatness.

Terra was an algorithmic stablecoin (ie not really a stablecoin). It can't be compared to Tether.

There were fundamental flaws with how Terra worked. A reductive way to describe it is, Terra was backed by Luna. Luna's price was determined by the market. Luna's supply was infinite. The price would go down if market demand didn't keep up with supply increases. Doomed from the beginning.
