That's my take on it too. Companies aren't abandoning relatively new factories that are still close to cutting edge. What they are abandoning are obsolete ones that they already got a lot of use out of that would require massive capital investment to modernize.
It definitely has classroom energy, but for that to work out it would need to come with a whole curriculum, textbook, etc. And even then, I think a lot of parents would be asking why this oddball thing vs playing with regular 555 and opamp circuits on a breadboard.

Why should I have to pay when my de facto web browser is the apollo app versus the safari app? At the end of the day its just an app interfacing with a website in both cases, and regulating that in either way is inconsistent and stupid.

Yup, *highly* skewed sample, we can't draw conclusions. The number of people who have willingly jumped from planes without desiring death is tiny. The number who have survived is even lower. (Yes, people jump without desiring death. Death by splat is better than death by fire.)
No. The woman will probably die from tuberculosis. Staff (not staph) at the hospital first thought she has severe lung cancer. It's not a nice death.
It's not so much the parsing... it's the validation against an underlying data source. I can write `SELECT A, B from Foo` and it's "valid SQL" but that doesn't mean the underlying Foo table exists, or that the columns are there. Beyond this, that doesn't mean it understands that A should map to an Int32 or that B should be a UTF-8 byte array in the outer language I'm working with.

Personally, I'm fine with the likes of type mappers like what Dapper in C# does, or serde_postgres offers in Rust. For that matter template string processors in JS/Node/Deno are also really nice. Yeah, you need to understand the underlying data source, but that's often far easier than massive amounts of boilerplate.

There have existed hand sanitizer formulations containing Triclosan or BZK instead of alcohol, although those compounds are more commonly used in anti-bacterial soaps. Triclosan was particularly controversial because of its potential to cause antibiotic resistance and also for being an endocrine disruptor. During the second half of the last decade, its usage was widely restricted by regulatory agencies and it was phased out of a ton of consumer products.
I tried Apollo for a few days before going back and probably tried one or two others but only for a couple of hours (I'm on iOS btw).

Overall what I disliked was that they didn't have the same polish in the navigation.

On the official app I feel like everything that is going from a list of thread to the comments, to collapsing a comment, to going back to the subreddit, etc. is super natural and polished and I didn't feel the same on the others.

This will allow the following strategy:

1. Hire a talented developer

2. Store all their development interactions over the years

3. Train a model on these interactions

4. Fire the developer

6. Start assembling virtual AI teams trained on these developers, see which teams perform the best

For someone looking to get started with Linux, I recommend the material for the 'Red Hat Certified System Administrator' course.

It does a very good job at teaching one to fish. Less rote procedure, more 'how to read the manuals'

Certifications in general haven't done much for me. With that said, more than once somebody has mentioned my Red Hat certs
The 4g is in the hotspot that you're connecting to via wifi from the mini-computer. That way you don't have baseband firmware exploits to deal with on the linux machine like you would now with a traditional android phone. 4G firmware are all binary blobs that probably have backdoors.

"S does what she wants and J deals with the consequences" is one of my common sayings - and you're right, me saying that makes no sense to her.

We have differing levels of desire to do things with other people. When we're in a group setting, she's an extrovert - but it drains her. At home she's always been happy with a book, puzzle, or now, doing sudoku or a paint-by-number app on her phone. I find the paint by number app maddening - it'll take a picture of a parrot and subdivide it into thousands of squares. You pick a shade of green, track down and touch all the squares that are that color - and then pick another color - track down and touch all those squares.... She's done hundreds of these and the end result is just a picture on her phone. I suspect autism, but she's super verbal and outgoing which I think masks it.
Well, add Germany to that anglosphere then.

I'd guess familiarity with that abbreviation depends on age. In the 70s TB (and the abbr.) was still fairly common. I grew up in a town with a press. Apparently the paper dust increases the risk for the workers to catch TB. I remember mobile screening units parked in front of that company periodically.

In the 90s my roommate's girlfriend was thought to have caught it (her roommate had a bad cough, probably TB then, but I don't know the details), which earned us both an "invitation" by the ministry of health for a screening. We were ok, she recovered during a stay in a sanatorium over summer (afair, it turned out not to be TB but some kind of embolism), don't know about her roommate.
Happy to wrong but when saying something like that, you should explain why and how, so we can all learn something!

I'd point out that any of third-party reddit app devs have one of the best resumes for whatever's next. They should have their choice of paths, whether that be adapting their codebase to $NEXT_PLATFORM, doing some high profile consulting, going back to a day job, etc. It'd be better if they didn't have to, for sure, but it also isn't career-ending.

> No, we shouldn't try to support 8 billion people with the standard of living of Botswana. It would be much better for everyone involved to have 100 million people with an American/Western standard of living. Quality over quantity.

I was curious how big a population could be supported at the per capita emissions of various countries and still be net zero. What I mean by "net zero" is the the atmospheric CO2 level would stay at current levels.

Here's a table of populations (in millions) that would be net zero at the per capita emissions of various countries.

50 Qatar
115 Australia
130 United States
170 South Korea
211 Germany
240 Norway
270 China
360 United Kingdom
390 France
560 Mexico
670 Botswana
1020 Fiji
1050 India
1980 Honduras
3030 Laos
4260 Bangladesh
4900 Cambodia
6100 Kenya
6900 Nepal
7700 Zambia

I'm getting country per capita emissions from [1] and am assuming 2 billion tonnes for net zero based on this article [2] which says that's how much CO2 is currently being removed from the atmosphere per year.

Ahhh, I see. What you mean is that both you and your kids are going to work, underpaid, in elderly care. Underpaid, because the cost of what you do will have to be extracted from the working population, which won't include the elderly, and obviously taxes over 50% ... well a proportion over 50% can't double. The elderly population will more than double though. So the pay for people working in elderly care will have to go down, yet more people will have to do it and they'll have to care for a more elderly per worker.

The problem is that there are very large consequences to anything but the smallest of population changes for those who remain.

Also: Global warming (or at least the co2 increase) WILL stop before 2100 for the simple reason we'll run out of oil. I mean peak oil, we can fight about when it will happen, but before 2100 economically viable oil will be gone in practically every scenario. So why bother?
You can never tell with these things. Sometimes people exaggerate and get braggadocious, but sometimes they tell the truth, but it's too scary for consumption, to they say it was in error. It seems this scenario is plausible. Do you want an operator who goes rogue to sabotage a plan? On the other hand, you may want to cancel something as truth on the ground changes.

So, I can totally see them testing out different scenarios and making adjustments and maybe this protocol does not make it into production, but doesn't mean it wasn't tested.

> Reddit very successfully moved away from being the techy nerd basement dweller site to becoming a trendy young "normie" people site.

Didn't that transition happen in the early 2010s? When I was in grad school a decade ago basically everyone I knew (which included many "normies") was scrolling through reddit when they were bored. I don't think the dumbing down really started until new reddit was introduced, which was 5-6 years ago IIRC.
Saw a comic in the early days of ChatGPT, I wish I'd saved it:

There does seem to be a general misunderstanding of what Peer-Reviewed means among the public. At my kids highschool there was an AIM program for harder classes for the academically inclined. A parent's kid didn't get in, they decided to write up a piece on how AIM should be killed. They showed it to another parent, called it peered reviewed, and submitted it to the school. The school at a meeting after they turned off the cameras decided to fire the lead teach and kill the program.

All without any discussion, because it was a "peer reviewed" "paper".
At the scale of Netflix, as long as keeping this guy around for $40m improves the value of the business by 0.02%, it would be irresponsible as a fiduciary to replace him with a cheaper CEO.

Honestly Google's a joke. They spend so much time on pie in the sky stuff, but simple stuff (which makes my life miserable), like buttons getting hidden in Google Docs get completely ignored.

Reddit's problems aren't because of their technology, it's product decisions. Yeah, sure, maybe all their devs suck, but it was managements decision to create the abomination of their new layout to be more instagram-like. Devs aren't putting a million nags to use the official app on their mobile site of their own accord. Devs aren't consistently ignoring moderator issues/complaints.

Maybe their devs are jealous of what one guy with freedom to actually create the best thing he can can do, but I really doubt they came up with the idea to charge 100x what imgur charges for similar API calls.
> but do not remember a time when the medical establishment was claiming airborne transmission couldn't be real

I can remember scientists being accused of spreading "misinformation" for proposing that airborne spread best fit the available data.

For instance, at the beginning of the pandemic, passengers of the cruise ship Diamond Princess continued to spread Covid from cabin to cabin while locked down.

There was also the case of a church choir practice where over 50 people caught Covid.

>If COVID-19 could spread so thoroughly and quickly through a choir, did that mean the coronavirus was airborne? And if the primary route for the disease’s spread was through the air, had our initial response been woefully misguided?

For researchers like Linsey Marr, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Tech, the answer was clear: The coronavirus is airborne, and the superspreader choir proved it.

Once agencies like the WHO established the position that COVID-19 was spread primarily through heavy droplets, it was a tall order to change it. “They’ll die defending their view,” one anonymous WHO consultant told the New York Times in July. Even now, “the burden of proof is much higher for aerosols than for any other route, and yet we have more evidence for aerosols in this case than for any other route,” Marr told me.
