Joe and Jill average must've missed their probability courses and are still conflating mean with variance.

The climate cult seems to like that conflation because while their models might predict some very small trend in the mean temperatures, I've yet to see any model predict a change to the variance of temperatures. Which is quite expected as the variance of temperatures, even over a single day, are orders of magnitudes higher than the small trend over decades.

I don't think anyone predicts any measurable change in the variance. That would be like noticing a little pebble out of a huge mountain.

The climate cult do love to confuse people about it. After predicting the mean turned to be easily falsifiable by the average person paying attention, they turned into a narrative that tells you about greater variance without telling you that no, variance isn't actually expected to meaningfully change and using narrative instead of just saying variance (because then everyone would immediately call their bluff).

Apropos misleading narratives, greenhouses actually don't warm because of anything similar to the greenhouse effect, but just because of lack of convection. Yet another misleading narrative point.

They do love to bend and fabricate intricate stories using misguided intuition.
I just recently migrated myself personally from Fortigate to Opnsense, where I did look a bit into Mikrotik as #network irc folk tend to love it. Mikrotik to me seemed just odd as well (particularly emphasis to use a thick client app), and I've installed and run almost every (other) major vendor out there. In the end I opted not to use yet another completely foreign dialect router/firewall, at least opnsense is freebsd, which I can work with ie close enough to linux and entirely accessible.

Vendor rep is important. I really don't trust Fortinet much anymore in moving off them, when they have security problems, they're usually pretty bad/catastrophic, and you NEVER want to NOT have updates on their kit if facing the internet (which mine was eos). Cisco isn't much better. I don't see Mikrotik in the news very often, which I'd take as a win at least and have compelling enough hardware/pricing I'd see this is a relatively small thing soon patched.

Yes - we will run into this problem eventually with a single OAuth application.

Things like the virgin mother (bare in mind, much like Peterson, I'm pulling this out of my arse).

My take on that it is a perspective based subset of actuality; in the case of the mother (as opposed) to the wife, 'she' is measured from the perspective of the child, she has her nurturing capabilities but not those of reproduction.

Reproduction is outside of the child's need to understand, and is not a property of the mother as it is seen from the child's perspective.

Bare in mind that the archetype is always perceived by the child, the husband will see something else.

These restrictions are based on perspective and need, and are reflective only of a limited subset of reality.

Christianity has taken that childish abstraction, and declared it to be an actual thing, that actually existed.

It doesn't take much consideration to understand that virgins don't give birth to sons (and if they ever give birth to daughters, they'll be genetic clones of the mother).
Show HN: DB-GPT, an LLM tool for database
The failure at trust bustng causing decreased competition and more market power is one part of why this is questionable. The other shoe that hasn't really dropped in this conversation is that companies hate increasing prices so the game is often to raise prices more a few times rather than many times but for smaller amounts. We will need to look back on this whole price and profit move over the whole government caused supply and demand shock to see if profits are below normal later and somewhat cancel out higher profits now to know if this is happening.

To say greed is causing inflation rather than greed is a response to a government caused supply and demand shock is really questionable to me though. It takes away from the major role of bad government policy in the root causes of this situation and puts it on companies responding as profit maximizers (as they always should be) to government created aituations.

Sometimes I have to detangle a bunch of loosely related spaghetti code in my head for long enough to fully grok it and relate it to the business context. And then bring it all back together as one cohesive unit of work. In the end the code is easier to understand and maintain than if I layered on more spaghetti code and called it a day. I've done that too and months later not understood my own code.

Best wishes on the path! It's a beautiful and healing training for the mind.

I would have opted out. But I never figured out how to be "in"!

I suspect a lot of people forging their own paths didn't really choose too, although they might assume they did.

When you see things differently, you don't just have different visions of where to go, but an aversion to those well worn paths that often seemed inexplicably depressingly difficult.
How does hn define sync/async comms?

Me personally I think it has a lot to do with attention, at the risk of abusing a buzz word in vogue since the dawn of the transformer. But as long as attention must be continuous somewhere in your system, you have sync comm. When you can decide when to give attention to something, making attention brittle, you have async.

Now I bought land and build a nice house on it, with a big garden, pool and big garage for my motorcycles. All out of my own pocket without going into debt. Think in the end it is not the size of the paycheck that matters. But quality of life is calculated with cost of living and your paycheck.

2^32 is 4294967296, or 4 GiB. Back before Windows ran on 64-bit machines, 4 GiB was as big a number as a standard int could represent. Updating it for 64-bit mode would mean breaking 32-bit programs, so "fixing" it isn't necessarily an upgrade.

Would you prefer denial of the denial? I only know what I learn from the media, so as far as I know, you could be right.

But is there not a consensus from the scientists, the people in the best position to know? Does CO2 not come from combusting fossil fuels, remain in the atmosphere for long periods, and retain heat?

But this is an issue - whether in denial or in reasonable doubt, many are unconvinced.
Oh, absolutely. And OT based approaches work great here. CRDTs have the advantage that multi-server deployments are also easy, and modern CRDTs are increasingly faster and better optimized than most OT systems (certainly the ones I've worked on). But OT is a great approach.

It's not assuming a lot to think someone who made several hundred thousand dollars has enough to live comfortably for a few months.

I could move into a very nice apartment in any city in the world for less than $5,000/mo. I have no doubt that with that kind of cash, I could move in today. Surely after making $300,000 you would have enough left over to do the same!

If not, then you are obviously not qualified to be making that kind of compensation in the first place.

There's a point in your career where you have to decide do I want another $5000 a year or is it worth that $5000 to not have to drive into work and to work with people I like.

I've been working remotely for over 20 years and WFH was not really a thing until very recently, that small benefit has kept me at the same company for probably a few years too long. I valued the ability to work from home at about $15,000 so even a perfect job that required me to come into the office every day needed to offer me $20,000 more than I'm making even to be considered. What things do you value about your current job that's not monetary and then put a monetary value -do you love your co-workers, would $5000 make you love them less? Do you enjoy the work, would $10,000 allow you to enjoy something else?

The issue of course is you are trading the known for the unknown, will you love the next job as much as your current job and are you willing to gamble, will $15,000 make that gamble easier? Everyone has a number what's yours?

I really think you don't give Stewart enough credit. Stewart is an intellectual that chooses comedy as his medium.

I think Jon Stewart wouldn't have gotten into that interview if he couldn't hold his own, intellectually. I was recently watching the Stewart/O'Reilly debates from about 10 years ago on Fox News and surprised how well both could lay out their arguments and not end up in a cacophony of noise. Stewart respected O'Reilly as much O'Reilly respected Stewart.

Two Weeks at the Front in Ukraine
You are the extreme exception to the rule. If you are as deep into academia as your experience might indicate then you should know that, and should be asking why other publishers and authors don’t play the game like you.

Many, many basic textbooks for required courses sell for hundreds, and use one time use codes for access to required content online. Meaning that the book is useless for future students without paying an additional exorbitant fee.

In other words, you aren’t the problem, and no one is pretending that you are.

Alternatively, how much would your book cost if it wasn’t sold to a captive audience buying on debt… pretty rare to see a $50 business book off campus. I normally see them at the airport for $19.99. Maybe just be happy that you are selling to a market where the person making the purchasing decision (the profesor) isn’t the one that has to pay for the goods.

Yup - they're literally saying that the fact of a tiny fringe group that managed to get involved with the Muj in Chechnya -- is equivalent to saying that Ukraine as a whole (or its government, whatever) supported those folks.

Some interesting observations though it glosses over or ignores a few factors which have changed typical bat habitats / feeding zones.

Sadly in Australia, in just about every aspect of governmental departments I've encountered, there's either a directive from above, budgetary constraints or one or two near public management who push the opinion it's better not to spend money if it is possible to do so. As such glaring concerns by mere individuals are pushed away to the side lines since investigating the cause would consume their budget. It's an attitude that can infect what the rest of the immediate staff do as well. One might think if someone arrived at A&E with something pretty terrible there would be a thorough investigation ... unless it's something immediately obvious and apparent treatment should begin, more often I've found it's been more of framing how a script for headache tablets is suitable for the time being and go home.

I've had at least one unidentified zoonotic incident (for the fact the other person hiking with me drank the same water / however else we became infected and we both had roughly the same incubation time,) but fairly sure my chronic illness that knocked me down from 2006 to 2010 was also the result of some virus yet to be identified.
