TFA claims that in section 5.118, Google pays a cut for people using Safari as well.

Ok, I tried generating using ChatGPT, it just didn’t gel well with my story. I just rather turned it off.
Some type of logical fallacy in the line of reasoning connecting your "quoted" text to the op.

Exploit (Oxford def.): "make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource)."
Contractor (Oxford def.): "a person or company that undertakes a contract to provide materials or labor to perform a service or do a job"

Did Apple mislead these people into thinking their contracts were indefinite or not potentially bound by some end date? Did Apple retract guaranteed equity in the company?

This is literally what the contractor market is for: provide resources in increasing and decreasing amount due to market demands.

I certainly sympathize for the long tenured full time tech employees getting laid off. I really sympathize with the fact that contractors tend to be non-native or immigrant demographics, or out-sourced to other countries. Maybe that's what you were talking about, but seems like an intentionally generaliezd critique of the contracting industry.

Fun fact about doom IPX is 1.0 absolutely spammed the heck out of the network finding peers. Most colleges had big problems days after its release because doom was DDOSing the network. They quickly patched it but patching wasn’t as easy as it is now.
Yeah they definitely changed the model. In ChatGPT Pro you can actually select to use the legacy model or the new one, the new one is substantially worse at everything from coding to analyzing and categorizing text. My guess is it takes ridiculous amounts of VRAM (100’s of GB per user) to do inference so they changed it.
> assume you have an AC unit as well as a gas furnace

A typical Texas house has one unit that is both AC and furnace.

Most houses built in the last 50 years have central AC. Given that you'll have ducts, the simplest and easiest way to heat the house is to use them. In other words, it's forced air heating. It's really not a great form of heating, but it's adequate for relatively short, mild winters.

So if you replace your one AC/furnace unit with a heat pump unit, you probably won't have a gas furnace anymore to do the comparison. (Apparently, there is such a thing as a "dual fuel heat pump", though, which can heat with gas or heat pump. I'm not sure how much those cost.)

Another factor is that AC is the bigger concern for energy usage because AC is used much more of the year. So when replacing your system, whatever money you can spend on an upgrade, you're probably better off putting it toward improving AC efficiency rather than heat efficiency. Or toward something that will help with both, like insulation.

Correct.

My FBA and FBM margins are very comparable. What is not comparable is the colossal boost in sales that comes from getting the buy box and Prime logo.

Walmart takes a different approach, and as a result its FBA equivalent isn't nearly a sales booster. <https://np.reddit.com/r/WalmartSellers/comments/xh2zd5/walma...>
Even mentioning it indirectly gets my comment moved to shadow banned! That's why everyone is so confused where all this radical social change stuff came from. Anyone who even does research into this area gets shutdown with overwhelming force. There is no debate. Everything goes straight to censorship like an answer to the question I was replying to cannot exist. It is simply a mystery! The whole thing happened spontaneously all by itself as a fundamental process of history!

What's interesting is this is a great chance to understand how huge social changes take place and what all the moving pieces are. Heck, plan your own massive social change using this movement as a template. Create whole new consumer product categories the same way! Maybe everyone needs nose hair trimmers, how would you start that massive social change?
As far as I'm concerned, the author of this article has not made a strong enough argument to draw such a bold conclusion.

They point to patent research, showing that innovation in areas outside of computers and electronics has slowed down. Then admits "of course" computers and electronics aren't included in this. But computers and electronics dominate our world. If you exclude them and say "tech progress is slowing down!", you're saying almost nothing at all, because you've excluded the thing that accounts for our currently-alleged rapid rate of technological progress.

He does attempt to cover this point by asserting that increases in processor performance are slowing down. This is enough for him to draw the conclusion of: "for computers [...] the period of rapid exponential growth will soon become history." This is a massive logical leap. Processor performance isn't the only component of technological progress in the wide field of computers and electronics, and that's especially obvious in the current time where rapid progress is occurring in ML algorithms.

I think this subject is a worthy point of inquiry, but it seems to me that the article is simply taking facts and drawing unwarranted conclusions from them.
"You can just not read the new edition instead of pushing for and celebrating the silencing of its owners"

The "owners" (who likely don't have a imaginative bone in their entire skeleton), if you'll pardon my vernacular, should stay the fuck out of the authors original work instead of mucking around with it, particularly inane changes like the removal of the word fat.

And by pushing a new addition of the book while discontinuing the originals they seek to erase the authors original work. If anything this particular addition should have a large CliffsNotes banner on the cover.
I visited San Jose Diridon station. It was surrounded by parking lots. It was amazing to me that a train station with connections south and north to both San Francisco and Oakland is a desolate wasteland of parking lots devoid of people. If this happened in another country, the city planners would be voted out of office or disappeared.

That place should be full of 5-10 story buildings bustling with offices, shopping, and apartments/condos. California is urinating away so much potential.
No, you still have not understood it; what i am pointing out is a change in momentum after a collision resulting in the Impulsive Force.

See the Khan Academy video i linked for a detailed example with numerical calculations; It walks you through the steps involved.

Also from my 2nd linked article;

Observe that each of the collisions above involve the rebound of a ball off a wall. Observe that the greater the rebound effect, the greater the acceleration, momentum change, and impulse. A rebound is a special type of collision involving a direction change in addition to a speed change. The result of the direction change is a large velocity change.

That's not the alternative, it's an alternative, and a bad one at that. A good alternative would be to keep making the books available forever exactly the way Dahl originally wrote them.
They already did. Where do you think Firefox stores your cookies?
The ostensible agreement is just to be the default search engine. Estimates this year for pay out is ~$20B. Now that we know that it is also based on actual searches, we are safe to assume they are passing other data too.
Do you have a link so I can listen to it?
Sure, but the filesystem is already an integration point. I much prefer standard file formats that I can use with any piece of software than trying to get pieces of software to talk in some other way.
I just took apart a spare one. The piece with the optical slots is metal and moves past a magnet - it's not neodymium in this one, and you can barely feel the scroll steps (but this trackball is very old and worn out, too). I can only see one optical scroll wheel sensor lens, so I'm not clear on how it detects scroll direction - maybe there are two offset detectors behind the same lens.

I thought about just using a standard mouse wheel sensor, but can't think of a good way to couple it to a big ring. Gears seem like they'd have an annoying amount of play, making it feel indirect.
Also, it is embarrassing that San Jose International airport does not even have a rail connection. Even second tier cities overseas make sure to have rail connections for foreign visitors who probably don't have a driver's license.
i did think it was going to be, but it seems to be talking about password protecting things like github pages, where you don't control either the server or the filesystem, and therefore have no way to add the .htaccess file.

The character was in the initial version of the Sword in the Stone. The Once and Future King has a revised version without Madam Mim along with other modifications. The Once and Future King is not a novel but a collection of four previously published works. It is also missing the beautiful finale: The Book of Merlyn.

You can still buy the Sword in the Stone as a standalone novel, which will be the original version and includes the character. I bought an illustrated copy for my son.
Every contractor I’ve known has done so with the downside being what you said, and choosing the upside of more flexible work or higher pay. People don’t seem to be forced into contracting?

I can't find a good actual link to the entire data set with but looking at the data in the US Bureau of Labor Statistics' website you can see both the average number of hours worked are trending downwards, having not been above the 35 hour threshold for a full time job since the 1980's. I have not found reputable data that differentiates full time employed into "One full-time job" vs. "Multiple part time jobs".

Isn't Xbox home console exactly what I described as a master console? That console can play whatever offline and other users can use that content linked to that account. Then you can login into that account on a friend's console or a second console and use that accounts games while online? So you can have two games from one account being played simultaneously online which is not doable on Steam.
Can't really see what all the fuss is about. They shouldn't have made the changes, no doubt, but they're all pretty insignificant. Publisher's exert significantly more influence when the author is alive and writing the book in the first place. The only one that ticks me off is that they added a "dedication to doctors" to one of the books.
> You can start climbing the levels of Emacs proficiency, a ladder that has no end

I switched from VSCode to (Doom) emacs and I think this point is important. With VSCode, my productivity had been constant over time. From the first time I opened the editor, it was intuitive, and my workflow barely changed over the years. It has amazing defaults that just work. Most people don't ever think about making significant changes to these defaults. Extensions do lots of magic and I just cross my fingers that they work as advertised.

With Emacs, I was less productive the first 2-3 months after switching. Then I got to about the same level of productivity I had with vscode. A couple more months later, I think I am now more productive than I was with vscode.
Good, so buying a book whose proceeds go to the children of a long deceased person shouldn't give you pause. (or at least, you should see how far the apple fell from the tree)
if you're a contractor who's just a full-time employee with less benefits, you should take that up with your local labour relations board, because that's illegal in almost any jurisdiction.

contractors should not expect long-term employment unless they have a contract that specifies that.
You’re kidding, right?
'Authoritarian Progressivism' is a better term going forward I think. It better specifies the set of beliefs and the formality is harder to dismiss.
I've always wondered if there is a way to gauge overall quality of screws? I tend to do electronics refurbishment and restoration as a hobby and I have no way of gauging the overall quality of screws and any scraps of info seem to be buried across various forums.

Also a dumb question, is there a way to identify the exact size of a driver that was meant to turn a particular screw? For example, you can use various sizes of Philips to turn a philips screw. Some might be slightly too small and others might be slightly too big and while the screw turns it may be damaging the screw even though it is not apparently visible at the moment. This also goes back to my original question about quality. I find a lot of screws seem to be really soft metal. Is this a quality issue or is that by design? Wish there was some central resource I could learn all about screws from instead of having to scrounge random forums.
Ideally one could construct a whole model of the human circulatory system in this manner, with a digestive tract module, a liver module, a kidney module, etc. Probably still a bit sci-fi at this point.
I think it's conceivable Matilda could have been a fan of Austen, but Steinbeck is a very long bow. British children still read mainly British authors and, when taking into account that Dahl is writing from his own experience as a child, that goes more than doubly for the times in which he grew up.
Haha, this is the classic example of answering a question which was merely a rhetorical whip. I love watching this stuff in action. I agree wholesale with you.

Screeching is most definitely more commonly used for women. That doesn't make it a bad word to use.

I mean, you won't catch me dead with these bowdlerized versions. The prose is atrocious and the motives for the changes are dubious.

But screeching is high pitched and when it's used for people is used mostly for women. I'm not going to pretend it's not. That's a comical rewriting of what is true just because you don't like some other rewriting.
Auspicious Machine: Modular Handheld Linux PC with a BlackBerry-Style Keyboard
Ah yes I know that keyboard - mine is a Keychron K2 V2 with optical switches. It's decent to type on but I miss having a volume knob and proper function keys.

I find it really helps not having the number pad - it means my mouse can be closer to the keyboard so my wrists are straighter.

For a mouse I use a MX Master 3 which I'm very happy with.

Civilian manufacture, possession and traffic of antimatter is clearly covered under the 2nd amendment.

> People don’t seem to be forced into contracting?

They sometimes have a choice between unemployment, true.
Yeah I'll do that, good idea.
> not calling people crazy

Wait until they realize that every single fucking insult in existence is equally "able-ist", by definition, or otherwise offensive in some way. Is the expectation that we slowly disallow insults in culture? No, it's going to be arbitrary whitelisting. Stupid (there I go being ableist).

A change like this doesn't work as intended without fundamentally changing the narrative. If a character was insulting someone, they should still be insulting someone. Want the story to be different? Write a different fucking book.
This is astounding, I look forward to the time where these types of changes revert back to common sense.
At this point, I am tempted for once to think favorably of John Randolph of Roanoke, who once proposed a law to ban the publication of bowdlerized editions of Shakespeare in the United States.

It's unclear whether this article has any direct reporting or new information. Twice it references the New York Times, though with no link. It seems strangely written and may only be a (possibly bad) paraphrase of other articles.
Why would you assume that? You'd have to read a scientific paper to reach that conclusion (or do the experiment yourself) and the trustworthiness of that is what is at issue!
can you expand on that last part?
That is a lot of dedication, happy it turned out so well!

I'm cringing at this unironic use of the word 'empathy'.
I like Steinbeck and don't think that Matilda ought to be a Steinbeck fan. At least they didn't make her a fan of Plath.

Metrology is really fascinating.
So many classics hit us differently today

I recently read all of Ian Flemming’s James Bond novels.

The identification of race as correlated with strong personality and motive characteristics is pervasive, especially for the enemy in any narrative.

Often negative, but often positive - the enemy is always “different”, but must always be respected, never underestimated.

And foreign characters often team up with Bond, adding their valuable foreign angles. Bond is a cosmopolitan creature.

The pervasive racial and cultural contrast enhancement was clearly entertaining for a less globally aware audience.

Even US vs UK characteristic differences are magnified.

And the subtext is always “live and let live” for general populations.

But I would certainly talk to any young, but ambitious reading, progeny of mine about that aspect of the books

This Dahl situation seems ridiculous and deserving of derision.

I would also like to bring your attention to the Florida school book ban which applies not just to new editions of one author, but to an entire state's education system.

> Among the titles that have been removed and banned in the course of the vetting in her school district are Toni Morrison’s ‘The Bluest Eye,’ ‘The Kite Runner’ by Khaled Hosseini, ‘The Stranger’ by Albert Camus, ‘Revolting Rhymes’ by Roald Dahl, and a skateboarding magazine called ‘Thrasher’.

Whenever anything related to heat pumps comes up, it always feels necessary for me to point out how behind the times the US is.

There are plenty of US climates that’d do just fine with a modern heat pump system. This wasn’t always the case admittedly, due to the lower lows. I know it’s a meme at this point, but even on HN I still see a lot of distinctly American ignorance and exceptionalism when people talk about this. I’m thankful for Technology Connections et al for putting the hard yards into getting some nerd circles across the line.

You have pointed to a source of enormous frustration and one which suggests the developers haven’t attempted to understand features of music that existed and evolved for 500 years of Western music and exist still today.

The elision itself is a problem; but so is the solution that involves horizontal scrolling of the information. It usually proceeds in _n_ character blocks and there’s a nearly zero chance the user will have the patience for the eventual completed reveal. Which movement of the sonata is this? I’m not waiting for the scrolling marquee. Table views are where the elision problem really surfaces.
It's a great project compared to others that just needs more visibility. Thank you for making it. :)
