I was every bit as skeptical (and agree there's nothing particularly meaningful about a bargain on a product that's unavailable), half expecting the available eggs to cost $6-7 or more as they do just about everywhere I shop in California. (Which is not at high-end markets like Whole Foods, either — we're talking places like Grocery Outlet, Smart 'n Final, etc., that are just barely a step up from a 99¢ store.) On the rare occasion that there's a shelf advertising eggs under five bucks, they're gone, of course. Folks are buying chickens left and right. At my local Costco there've been actual fistfights within 2-3 minutes of the doors opening as people scramble (ha) over giant palettes of eggs. It's absolutely crazy.

So color me shocked that I could buy these dudes for a mere $3.29 from Amazon Fresh and have them delivered this afternoon, if I want:

https://www.amazon.com/365-Whole-Foods-Market-Brown/dp/B074H...

Sure, there's the delivery fee which at $10 isn't cheep (last egg pun, I swear). But to see Whole Foods selling 'em for less than half of what a bargain reseller is charging down the street is surprising to say the least.

So are eggs replacing flat-screen TVs the new doorbuster? Sell 'em at wholesale prices just to get people in the door, where they're sure find plenty of questionable "deals" to more than make up for the paltry ~$3 opportunity cost of charging less than market price? The $10 delivery fee practically guarantees people will be filling up their online carts with plenty of other stuff besides eggs.
A lot of urgent cares don't do much at all. Many don't even do X-Rays. Most are basically just there to treat very-minor, clean, uncomplicated, superficial injuries, and to tell you "yep, that thing you already knew is a sinus infection is a sinus infection, here's a prescription for antibiotics" when it's a weekend and you can't see a normal doctor, or the normal doctor's wait time is too long.
Your not supposed to do that but just the same I would not discuss marriage or family in an interview.

Where I always ran into trouble was child care.

I had one boss who moved his parents to the US from China to raise his son, often commented that he never raised a finger to raise his child, expected everyone else to do the same. He had no sympathy for child care needs.

My next boss raised two kids in NYC, knew all the hoops you had to jump through, was very accommodating of child care needs and schooling.

Completely different experiences.
The PR/marketing win of the decade would be to sell this specific feature for cost.
This kind of glazes over the fact that the platform we're criticizing (the one that uses engagement algorithms to display ads on divisive content or whatever we've summarized it to) makes them billions a month/quarter/year/whatever.

"allowed to exist by society" is putting it lightly. It's in demand. High demand.
If you are after engagement based Q&A, you're going to find Reddit and Facebook style systems that require a larger portion of the user base giving answers rather than "I can search it and find the answer" that Stack Overflow provides.

Those sites (and they exist now) typically suffer from having enough people providing correct answers (unless they're the type who enjoy answering what a Null Pointer Exception is again and again). You can try seeing if https://www.coderanch.com/forums fits what you are after.

The library based model requires fewer people and so scales better - but it still scales. The issue with the library based model is that the curation work needs to be relatively low friction - something that Stack Overflow has been failing at.

I can't stress enough what a strange and uncaring attitude this is. Here you have the state forcing somebody to be in prison, and the prison is in terrible conditions. Why is it not the states fault that she is put into those conditions? Why should she have to sue the prison for this? Florida is forcing her to be in those conditions, specifically both in prison and pregnant. Why is she responsible for ensuring she doesn't suffer conditions where her unborn child might die?

This is entirely correct, but it's related to conditions inside the prison, not whether she should be released from it. Of course she should get to see a doctor, and get her prenatal vitamins, etc. I even agree that since the prison is unable or unwilling to give her the proper medical care, she should be moved to a different, even a non-prison, facility to receive that care. But it has fuck-all to do with any sort of "improperly incarcerating a fetus".
> I've listed 5 different multithreaded techniques at the beginning of this discussion.

Unsurprisingly, I have a problem with that list as well. It mixes things that belong to different categories. A process is an execution context while the rest are synchronization mechanisms. For example, it is possible to synchronize two processes with atomic variables (in shared memory). Also, the list misses any kind of higher level threading primitive (concurrent queues, channels, futures, etc.). There is a whole world above explicit mutex locking.

> I'm pointing out that #1 is easier than #2.

I totally believe you when you say that subprocesses are the preferred solution for your particular use cases. It just does not make sense as general advice. It may be practical that subprocesses are isolated, but you cannot just downplay all the downsides.

I have a "reset board" for WPC games that is many years old at this point. It piggybacks on the power connector from the power board to the system board and steps down the unregulated 12v supply to power the 5v rail, bypassing the power board's 5v which can become unreliable as voltage regulators age and fail, triggering a watchdog on the system board that causes a reset. It is a plug-in mod that is reversible (I actually do not currently use it).

Also you can buy new boardsets for System 11 machines in both kit and complete form. They are electrically identical to the Williams parts but use modern components. They even come on red PCBs like the Williams development boards.
Stores have to make their money to survive, and a grocery store (the side of Walmart we're interested in here) has to deal with nationally advertised prices on a huge portion of their product base, so they adjust prices on the other side to compensate.

What has been pissing me off of late is that Walmart and Target will have shelf prices that are higher than online-for-in-store-pickup. You can get them to price match it but @#$@# annoying.
Judges don't make decisions about the laws of physics, they make the decisions about the laws of people. If the laws of physics are relevant, an expert can explain the relevant parts during the court proceedings. But the technical details are only of contextual relevance. If the law has ignorant technical consequences, that ain't the judiciary's problem. That has to be fixed by the legislature.

OK say I have a few monero wallets. You have no idea how much is in any account or what I've spent on anything, where it's going. How would you know which wallets I gave up? Sure I'll probably hand over $100, maybe even $1000 to some dude with a wrench but I'll die before I give up much more, not to mention you won't even know it was the wrong wallet. And I know this, because I've had a gun pulled to my head before and I decided I'd rather die fighting back than give up my cash -- and good fucking luck getting the key then.

Sooner or later wrenching people you'll get a few "sucidal" cases that get lucky and it's game over. Not a great business model.
From the study abstract [1]: "In this largely vaccinated (84%) population, the posterior probability that ivermectin reduced symptom duration by more than 1 day was less than 0.1%."

"Importance: It is unknown whether ivermectin, with a maximum targeted dose of 600 μg/kg, shortens symptom duration or prevents hospitalization among outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19."

My guess is this study will likely not convince certain doctors to stop prescribing ivermectin for unvaccinated patients with mild symptoms.

It depends. The best way to strongarm your employer is with another job offer. If you can't get another job offer, or if it's not a big bump up, that probably says that you're being paid competitively. But if you interview somewhere, it's pretty standard to say "I have a better offer, match it or I quit." Of course, you have to be willing to quit if they agree.
Typically they're just left there. But every once in a while someone will decide it makes sense to acquire the cable for cheap, pull it up, and re-use it somewhere else that doesn't have high bandwidth requirements but would still benefit from getting subsea connectivity. Seen this for Pacific and some Caribbean islands.
It's illegal if the reason is as you say. You're arguing the wrong thing. The mechanism by which things are priced and agreed is a good thing. There are certain protected categories which cannot be used to set a price/offer except where they are directly relevant to the job. Whether you think that's good or bad is your prerogative, but that's how it works.

However, having evidence that that is the reason such that we can be confident it is that, rather than assuming it, is difficult.
Usually the amounts just aren’t enough to be worth the effort. A couple thousand, where a recruiter would get tens of thousands?
You'd probably need to prepend a prompt that told the bot how to analyze experiment design. Maybe have it read a book or 10 on experiment design. Also a few books on social networks, financial motivations and other human factors in science. Then let it take a look at journal articles and their metadata. In short, you need a way to vet for quality.

ChatGPT itself provides a decent answer :

ChatGPT is an AI language model designed to engage in conversation and answer a wide range of questions, whereas the GPT-3 playground is a web-based platform for developers to build and test applications using OpenAI's GPT-3 API.

By subscribing to ChatGPT Premium, you can access additional features and benefits, such as ad-free chatting, priority access to the service, longer conversation sessions, and customized responses. Additionally, with ChatGPT Premium, you can support the ongoing development and maintenance of the platform.

If you are a developer looking to build and test applications using GPT-3, then the GPT-3 playground is the best option. However, if you are looking to engage in conversational AI, ChatGPT is a great choice, and ChatGPT Premium can provide additional benefits and features.
I'm still reading it, but this is great so far. As a father to four little girls, though, it makes me feel really defeated. I can already see that social media has eroded my wife's mental health. I just don't know what to do in the next few years when our girls approach the age when everyone else will get an iPhone and have an Instagram account. I want to say no, but that leads to many other issues, including what the author describes perfectly in this passage:

"Suppose that... a 12-year-old girl decided to quit all social media platforms. Would her mental health improve? Not necessarily. If all of her friends continued to spend 5 hours a day on the various platforms then she’d find it difficult to stay in touch with them. She’d be out of the loop and socially isolated."
Jesus, I wish I could downvote this 50 times.

What do you expect a guy who forms an emotional relationship with a chatbot thing to accomplish with a dating app? Most likely would only induce further despair because he would get few, if any, likes.
When the headline is contradicted by the article then the relevant quite is relevant and valuable. It saves time. Not everybody reads the article, I'd say that it even is rare and that a lot, maybe even most people jump to the discussion immediately after reading the headline. Because of cases such as this one: When you quickly see the headline being contradicted.

Usually articles are a lot longer and they bury such info deep, so checking the comments first if its even worth clicking on the article is normal, given the huge number of sensationalized headlines coupled with the attempt of the article writers to keep readers on their page for as long as possible instead of coming to the point right away.

The reading behavior of many is optimized for sifting through a large number of submitted headlines without wasting too much time, not for maximum enjoyment of any single one of them. The (I think reasonable) assumption is that many, maybe most, even of the initially interesting sounding headlines turn out not to be worth reading.

ER's have separate deductibles. $500-$2K is pretty typical just to walk in the door.

And they are spoofing their AIS data frequently. Now they control if they are where the AIS send information about, and use satellites to help with the location task (because they don’t trust the AIS from Russian ships).

I came here to say the same as the sibling comment. Why not slow down? That is what happens in my city: residents drive slowly because they don't want to hit a neighbor.
A way to see the scaling this commenter quoted:

Suppose there are on average N items left to be seen at time t. Then using a continuous time approximation:

dN/dt = -N / N_tot

This gives

-dN / N = dt / N_tot

Integrate from N_tot to a small value at left and from 0 to t at right,

Log(N_tot /a) = t / N_tot,

Solving for t gives the scaling quoted.

Of course it's a good example. The whole point of nationalizing things is to make them subject to politics, and an important consideration in nationalizing important services is that they will only run as well as your country's politics.

Agree, I think the US has the best specialists in the world but it is missing a middle layer of primary care physicians that spurred companies like One Medical and Carbon.

Depends on the kind of taxes you pay. They can put a lien on your house, garnish your wages, etc. Eventually, sure they may put you in prison, but generally they aren't going to hurt you doing it unless you try to hurt them. You're just renaming coercive measures violence.
Applicants could organize in a guild. The members can rate each other in a friendly environment with constructive feedback. Then, the guild knows who are the best matches for a given job.

Employers at first communicate with the guild and only have to evaluate 5-10 candidates. All interviewed candidates pool their knowledge about the employer so the next suggestions from the guild will be even better matches.

Medieval guilds made sure that craftsmen could be trusted. Programmers can do the same thing.
I think in light of the Dominion vs. Fox News lawsuit, we really need to re-examine the "liberal media bias" narrative.

Who are the people pushing this narrative the hardest? Fox News — they devote a good chunk of their programming to this narrative every day.

But now it's been shown in court that Fox News hosts don't believe what they tell their audience. They put people on air who talk about election fraud, then secretly text each other about how that person is insane and they are telling lies. But their own concern about the trustworthiness of their own guests never makes it to their audience. This is precisely the thing they say others are doing. Given the new evidence, it seems like Fox News is mostly projecting their own deceptive practices and ascribing them to "liberal media" to shield themselves from accusations of the same.

Until the same can be shown about e.g. MSNBC or CNN, we must consider Fox News (which is the center of gravity of the conservative media ecosystem, and the most watched news channel in absolute terms) to be singularly deceptive.
>when a dollar had been an ounce of silver like forever

You realize that was completely a terrible idea, that the US tried to force (tying them together), and the screw market pressures nearly resulted in the USD equivalent of the sterling crisis in the UK? There was nothing stable about it - it was a sham to keep goldbugs from losing their minds, nothing more. There was never enough silver to keep those prices, and lots of people around the world knew it, and were running arbitrage games on the US, extracting money from us. Trying to fix a currency so tightly to the amount of metal one can find is a terrible way to run an economy, which is why not a single country out of over 200 still does it.

If you think somehow silver or gold is stable, and the US dollar is not, take some goods like rent or food and price them in USD since the US dropped the fake game. You'll find that metals are vastly more volatile than USD (which is why the USD is valued the world over as both reserve currency and a currency to use for stability).

>average person (not the average income) was too devastated

The median wages tell the same story (below). Wages increased for individuals, for tax units, for households.

>is not a very accurate indicator of how the income of the non-exceptional population

Did you bother to look that up? It's simply untrue (I posted a few more series before since the word "average," which can mean median or mean (or many other averages) is not clear enough for you.

Do you understand carefully the difference between mean and median?

>And in terms of "per Tax Unit", the left 2/3 of the graph is with one earner, but after that it's two different breadwinners for the most part.

Did you check this or simply "feel" it's true? A tax unit is a single person or a married couple. There are now more single led households and far fewer married people than in the left 2/3 of the graph, and a significant amount of the left part of the graph had a lot of women in the labor force.

So your claim fails on pretty much every trend. All your factors trend down over that graph, yet incomes trend up. Don't like that one, here's real median person income, up from 26k in 1975 to 38k now [1]. Here's real median household income [2].
