Also a long history of spurious statistical correlations where you find "possible" links.

e.g. for a while there was a scare for RF from overhead powerlines causing brain cancer.

Turns out, the issue is the statistics used to try and isolate an effect from a general population sample have bias: plug in any effect, and any grouping factor, and you'll probably observe a doubling of the risk.

This effect was the cause of a whole spate of "X may cause cancer" reports in the 2000s.
Like many other comments here, I have a hate/love relationship with WP. In the love side there is no good replacement, in the hate side I wonder how easily exploitable it could be. Using WPEngine now to experience a better service than hosting it in another non-specialized cloud service. Have seen performance enhancements happening naturally.

Happy birthday! If nobody replace you is because you are the best in town for most people and organizations.

Hospice is any care for the terminally ill where the quality of life is prioritized of quantity/length of life.

Hospice care can last months or years, and takes many different forms. Some people want to die without drugs and that is an option. Hospice care frequently involves spiritual, and mental care as well.

In short, no it isn't euthanasia. Hospice care does not involve actively shortening your life, rather it is just transitioning away from treatments that lengthen your life.

I mean, the software and RNGs are audited. The legal odds have to be true in any given spin. If your suggestion it is only in monthly aggregate was true, they wouldn't waste it on favorite customers. They would accept a bid of millions of dollars to accept free slot machines from a vendor, have their customers lose money all month and then have a vendor rep come in once a month to win a suspiciously large payout that made the math work out. (Or some other third party, since I assume a casino employee could not win on their own machine)

That's putting it delicately.

Quite a number of judges have straight out ruled that prenuptial agreements are not binding making this a free for all. The resulting judicial caused disaster often is what's catastrophic as opportunism shines through.
I’m guessing in places where single parents are financially supported, childcare is abundant and affordable, sick leave is guaranteed and covers your child, workplace discrimination against single parents is illegal, that any observed difference will disappear.

I got started with AVRs too! It was just before Arduino became well known, so by coincidence I got started with ASM instead of anything C.

I still force myself to take a break from work once in a while and hack together something with hand-optimized assembly. I'm afraid that if I don't do it at least once a year, I will have lost something wonderful and essential. Like forgetting how to write poetry because I spend all day writing manuals for IKEA furniture.

The AVR datasheets are also a joy. I'm liking the Attiny10 a lot these days.

If someone wants to wear an additional particular hat, what's the harm?

Personally, I don't care about titles. Assure people are making good impact in areas they are strong in and agree on who's doing what. If there are skill gaps, find solutions and work together, or hire what you absolutely need.

When real money gets involved amongst people who weren't previously all long-term friends, shit can happen. This is why is generally a bad idea(tm) to get into business "marriage" (founders or investors) with strangers.

The problem with 'consensus' as a whole is, its not always possible.

Just because you do something doesn't mean you agree with it.
You’re begging the question. The taxpayers are just deciding what materials to provide through a taxpayer-funded service, no different than the taxpayers choosing what public transit routes to provide. Since public libraries are an important vehicle for socializing children, the public is entitled to curate the material available in libraries towards those ends. Again, it’s no different than choosing public transit routes that service the voting public’s particular priorities.

And nobody has a “right” to have the government provide them free access to any particular information in public libraries. The government can’t dictate to parents what materials they allow their children to access. But the public doesn’t have to pay and make that material available in public libraries.
The new normal on how civilization gradually ends. People need to stop not having kids. You’re destroying civilization in the long term.

The actual regs matter. For example it is well known that with penny slots, the house takes a larger cut than larger denomination lots. Significantly, something like 9% vs. 5%.

Then supposedly Casinos put higher payout slots in high visibility areas such as the edge of a high traffic walkthrough, or with good sight lines. This would make a lot of sense from a marketing POV, make the winners more visible.
They're cheap, won't ask questions about safety, labour laws etc. and will help keep wages at sub-poverty levels.
It's actually also available as an option in Revanced too.
> Casinos are required to display the current payout rate on any and all slot machines.

This is not accurate in at least Nevada, Michigan, and Maryland. Casinos are required to disclose the overall average, but not the rate of individual slot machines.
Most cars are still sold without turbocharging.
We are nowhere near maximizing combustion vehicles. That 100hp/l is somewhat in contradiction to your arguement.

The wide array of technologies for injection and burn efficiency are still largely unadopted as well.

The replacement costs of batteries at ~5-8 years of ownership are always conviently absent from the comparison between EV and combustion. No surprise.

EV are not in their infancy either, the first EVs are from over a hundred years ago and there have been models available since the 90s from major manufacturers

You should read something other than Sue Blackmore on NDEs.

There are weirdly consistent reports of a whole lot more phenomena beyond what she outlined in _Dying To Live_ thirty years ago, which is more or less what you've summarized here.

They may just be a coincidental agglutination of evolution and human brain malfunctions, stacked up with a whole lot of coincidence / selection bias to account for the anecdotes of people gaining correct knowledge about physical reality while "dead".

If that's all they are (which I do find plausible if not persuasive), what you've written here leaves out a lot of steps needed to justify that position.
Why would you quote anybody but Nevada gaming regulations in an appeal to authority on this question?

> HTTP got basic auth, which is crap because plaintext password transmission happens...

Plaintext submission happens with HTML forms too. The problem with Basic is the password goes with every request. That means you're exposing a long term credential to a higher risk. We want to exchange the long term credential for a short term one, ideally scope limited. That is far less catastrophic to revoke, and gives you some power of granularity (you can at the very least have some operations prompt for the password again). It also means you can limit risk on the server: only one page has access to the long term credentials, which can be more easily audited, or even hosted on dedicated servers.

WebAuthn has been the real savior here. Real cryptography has always been desirable for this, and removing per-site passwords is honestly just a bonus.
Have you seen Publii? It seems to be a solution somewhat similar to the one you described. It's quite limited compared to WordPress, which can be a good thing.

No, because taxpayers are still paying for the shelf space. It’s their building and they get to decide what’s in it. Now, if private groups want to rent space and make certain books available there, they’re welcome to do that.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. Two parents are never going to have the exact same approach or emphasize the same thing, so I think it is likely beneficial to children to have two parents helping them along in different ways.

Morphine doesn't really cause "body failure", particularly if there's extended tolerance being developed and maintained. Methinks there's a seperate etiology in play for the scenario you describe
Yes, but remember that an operator has further costs.

First, he has to pay the machine that wasn't cheap to buy outright.

Second, he has to share revenues with the venue hosting the machine. That goes between 20-60% AFAIK.

Then there is the maintenance cost, time spent lubing and adjusting, and restocking + travel time.

So yes, overall, the operator better make sure you don't just pay for the teddies!
Take the title instead, let him argue why he he deserves it more. Sounds like it's yours to lose.

It is a school's job to provide every student with a comprehensive and well-rounded education, preparing them for their adult life in the best way possible. This includes exposing them to a variety of potential career paths, and providing them with role models.

The only reason they need collections like "LGBTQIA+" and "Diverse Voices" in the first place is because literally the rest of the collection will already be filled with "Classics", "Freedom", and "Family Values". Those are considered the default in society, there is no need to explicitly highlight them when you will already come across them without even trying.

You’re correct about the definition.

First saying "more than every other language combined" and then changing tone to say "some" is disingenuous. And please don't try to technically argue that the former doesn't have to more then the latter - the underlying insinuation is pretty obvious.

What happened to Ghost (haven't kept up to date)? I remember in the first few years it felt so promising, snappy and delightful.
I migrated a business’s site from WordPress last year (a site that had been around since only 2018, I believe). I was surprised to discover how awful all this stuff was in WordPress’s export (… which was also very misleading and limited in scope). In order to not ruin large amounts of content, I had to dismantle that Gutenberg comment stuff (where present) with its strange mixture of structure and presentation, and also port the old-style wpautop function, which is obviously a total disaster of a concept that has arisen from bad technical decisions being made at several points in its history, combined with caring about backwards compatibility in mildly weird ways. The fact that it didn’t even identify what was Gutenbergy and what wasn’t, but basically just treated the whole thing as a string from which you parsed what you could and shrugged your shoulders about the rest was severely off-putting.
Realistically, a good AI chip will have provisions for high throughput IO (the most important thing, and the key differentiator) and the actual processing really doesn't matter because with enough engineering effort you'll be able to saturate the chip.

GPUs have a high speed output in the form of an HDMI link. However, there is no high speed input. Reads/writes to/from the GPU are slow. The Cerebras wafer chip for example has 8-16 FPGA driven IO chips that directly read from TCP/IP onto the chip and off again in parallel. Each FPGA connects to its own ethernet port. So you can get the data on/off the chip as fast as possible. That's it really.

As for the processing engines. They're usually just standard cores with a high speed interconnect and maybe some matrix multiplication optimizations. Some, like Groq, have a high speed fabric with specialized processors at various locations.
Those bits of the science are settled.

In India, postman sells n pays money order (upto a certain amount) on the go on a bicycle. Bicycle because mostly its letters. Packages go through private courier only.
TBH the A100 is the chip powering the boom. Thats what most of the breakthrough models/papers seem to be trained on.

And not just because its fast, but because it just works. Most researchers aren't going to waste time figuring out how to run an MI250 or Gaudi 2 or whatever in PyTorch.
For the scanning issue, the problem is intent. Accidentally not/double scanning is not a crime. Its easy to convince a jury that someone not scanning steak after scanning bananas, potatoes and corn is doing it to steal steak. It's hard to prove that a cashier scanning steak twice to make Walmart more money was doing so intentionally. If it was official Walmart policy to do so, and obviously intentional, I imagine it would be a huge news story and a lot of state AGs as well as class action suits would get involved.

Mainly I was focussed on risk. I work on two WP sites, both of which lag head and both of which are major PITA to upgrade and maintain, and both of which are targetted continuously by whitehat (I hope) tasters looking for holes.

If you were looking to close out those problems, you'd move to a platform which was coded more safely and I very much doubt it would be PHP.

I don't know what it would be. Maybe something targeting node.js but with type safety in front of a compile phase? (to get similar platform independence that PHP brings)

Or, a static site re-publisher which took a PHP master and committed out the door faster to render, safe pageviews.

Unless the other parent is completely absent, you get that anyway. And even if they are (one of my parent was for a large part of my childhood) you usually get other family members, grandparents, ants and uncles, friends, teachers, etc.

While it is probably true that it is easier on the parent to have another person which is always there to help each other out, I doubt—all else being equal—this has any significant difference on the child.

Please don't spread this meme about corporations being required to maximize profits/shareholder value. There isn't a requirement or law that says corporations to maximize profits.

The legal obligation is to act in the best interest of the corporation on behalf of the shareholders. There are limited situations where the only goal is to get a higher stock price, like in a buyout, but in general business there is no legal obligation to chase profits over other values.

Corporations can do things that actively remove value from shareholders, and they do it all the time. Donating to charitable causes, benefits packages that are incredibly generous, sending employees home early on the day before a holiday, providing discounts to employees, etc. All of these things would be illegal if profit-maximizing was law, but it isn't. Instead corporate officers can say that the long-term benefits of acting as a responsible corporation is in the best interest of the company.

Anyone saying that screwing people over for the benefit of the corporation is a requirement of corporate governance is full of it.

Just to play devil's advocate for fun... what follows is not a sincerely held position on my part, just enjoying the dialogue—

I don't want a lion to eat me. But I don't have a moral complaint against the lion for wanting to, trying to, or even succeeding. I'd be pissed, of course, but my objection is purely that I don't want to be eaten at all, period. There's not a moral dimension to it at all.

I also don't want YOU to eat me. But unlike the lion, I DO have a moral objection against you, on top of the simple not-wanting-to-be-eaten-at-all thing.

In conjunction with that, I find that I also have a moral objection against MYSELF, when it comes to the thought of ME eating YOU. So, although I don't know for sure yet what the basis of that moral objection is, I have learned that there does exist one. And, I can conjecture that whatever the foundation of that objection is, that's the same basis for my moral objection against you eating me.

But, whatever that basis is, it doesn't seem to apply to a lion who wants to eat me, because I don't morally object against the lion. So, although that doesn't guarantee anything one way out the other just yet, perhaps it's justified that I don't feel any moral discomfort with me eating the lion[0], while absolutely having immense moral discomfort with you doing so, or even really wanting to. The situation, morally, with the lion seems to be a different thing, morally, than you eating me or vice-versa.

([0] This is speaking in the moral abstract, anyway—as it happens, there's not really enough lions left in the world to waste eating them, but that's separate from the question of whether it's moral to do so in general, if situational stuff like species extinction and other ($n)th-order effects weren't a factor).
