That doesn't mean he was demanding money.

I do agree it's difficult to calculate the value of a user in this case.

Yes, Apollo users are Reddit users, but they are specifically Reddit users who don't use Reddit's official clients. The question is how many of those users will move to Reddit's official app after June 30, and how many will look for alternative platforms that aren't so manipulative and abusive. I for one have deleted my Reddit account and won't be going back.

> It's not necessarily the fault of the manufacturer if a device can be harmed by deliberate RF-based (mis)use.

I am not too familiar with the FCC as I am from Europe, but even the linear motor of a standing desk will rate limit the amount of movement you can make it do within a given time frame (those linear motors are not designed for permanent operation).

If your meter is rated to switch a certain current, that rating is made under the assumption of a certain ambient temperature and temperature of the switching element. Switching it heats it up, so there has to be a cooldown period if you plan to still operate it within spec. Operating components within spec is the task of the manufacturer, and checks to avoid going out of spec should be one of the first things to design into such a product to prevent house fires or malfunction.

Guard mechanisms like rate limiting are cool because they can protect you against liabilty if your programmer makes an error, but they become more important the more exposed the controls are. There is a reason why e.g. a RCD cannot be permanently be fixed in the on-position (the switch is not tied to the lever internally), because you want it to switch off even in the case of misuse in order to save lives. This is magnitudes more important if your controls are exposed to external inputs (e.g. via radio, or over the network/internet), as accidental or malicious misuse might be more prevalent there.

Note: I am not saying there is a strict legal requirement to do this, I say that this is what I expect from a modern design made by professional electrical engineers.
went to see it this week. the animation might not have that novelty factor anymore (only because of the first one), but it's still amazing and i'm glad i got to see it in a cinema. i think they were able to step it up even if only a little bit, focusing in on different styles and how they use each according to the emotions they're trying to convey in any given scene.

i'm just no so sure about splitting it up into two movies. on the one hand i'm glad i get to watch one more part of the whole thing, on the other, you can't help but feel they're milking it once more, by stretching it out into another part. towards the end you could definitely feel you'd be leaving with a somewhat incomplete experience.
I think the aha moment is essentially having spatial computing but without wearing a computer on your face. So “Minority Report.”
Again that's one of the two things being discussed. My main point was that there were two things being discussed rather than one.

> He played his hand that he is willing to put words in other people's mouths basically just for entertainment, so why should we believe he hasn't done it in much more important cases?

I find this logic a bit backwards. Willing to do something when the stakes and impact are low to annoy someone trolling you is very different from changing comments in important situations.
The network? No idea, but I suspect low. The exchanges that the vast majority of humans will need to use to convert to and from fiat? I think it's easier to count the ones that haven't collapsed tbh
According to
https://examine.com/supplements/taurine/

"Serious adverse effects have not been reported with taurine supplementation. The highest dose used in a human trial was 10 grams per day for 6 months, and the longest human trial was 12 months and used a dose of 0.5–1.5 grams per day. Based on the available evidence, it’s suggested that 3 grams per day can be consumed indefinitely without risk of side effects."

"The observed safety limit, the highest dose for which one can be relatively assured that no side effects will occur over a lifetime, has been suggested to be 3g of taurine in supplemental form (in addition to food intake) a day.[140] Higher doses have been tested and well tolerated, but not enough evidence is available to suggest lifelong safety of said doses.

There is a notion that taurine causes heart damage, which is currently unsupported (and contrary to a fair bit of evidence). This appears to be due to a misunderstanding of why serum taurine levels are elevated during cardiac failure (which is from taurine leakage from cells)."

My advice, however, is to not take it for antiaging until the science is done on humans, specially at high doses.
In my view it's the opposite: the worst of both worlds.

If I need to do work involving lots of typing, precise clicking or sitting for a long amount of time, I'd rather use a laptop (or desktop). And for less demanding stuff, the smartphone (which I'm already carrying everywhere by default) is enough.

The tablet sits in an awkward middle and I don't really find much use for it.
Why is the 'problematic' data in the training set, anyways? Why train a model on it if it's an issue?

Any new sources on the billion users of OpenAI? I know they hit 100 million users pretty quickly, but has any new data come out on subscribers and MAU of free users?
I used to moderate a lot of large subreddits back in the day, and don't understand why the mods don't just shut them down indefinitely, until reddit capitulates.

What, I won't be doing a bunch of free labor for a multimillion dollar company while being called a dictator all day? Yes please!

Reddit would probably have to step in and start removing moderators, digging their hole even deeper.
Why would your eyes be drier? If anything they'd be more moist because there's less air movement around them right?
we're used to talking about 'the market' as if it were one monolithic thing, when in fact sectoral and regional differences can be stark and often counter positional. It's also the case that demand for labour is not always a sign of a robust economy or happy society. We have a crying need for healthcare workers for example, but that is because we are rapidly aging society which is increasingly become infirm and have not created the job conditions in healthcare work to encourage enough people to actually do the work. The job vacancy numbers for nurses shoot up - everyone thinks 'wow huge demand in the healthacare sector!' - without recognising this as an outcome of systemic failure to adequately provision for old age
Sorry, but read literally what you are claiming is totally acceptable and does not indicate that we shouldn't be using biofuels. You seem to be saying that biofuel generation including burning as fuel using a net positive amount of carbon. There is no reason it shouldn't. It is a viable strategy if it uses less than the fossil fuel alternative. Note that the way to measure the alternative here is not the emissions from burning a unit of fossil fuels, but that plus all the emissions involved in extracting, refining and transporting the fossil fuel. For example, this includes flaring (~1% of all global C02 emissions).

It would even be viable if the total amount of carbon generated by the farming, processing and transportation of biofuels without including burning but subtracting the carbon taken from the air by plant growth, was a net positive by itself, as long as the excess was less than the corresponding total for fossil fuel production, including all the carbon involved in its production.

I accept the validity of what you said about land use in the sister thread, but I don't think you've established that this criterion isn't true (and making the much weaker claim above suggests that you aren't able to).

I also believe that many types of impact on the environment
(for example what you mentioned about topsoil and water quality) should be treated with much lower priority than the greenhouse effect. If biofuels, or some other strategy for reducing emissions such as solar or wind power generation has a devastating but localized impact on some ecosystems, it might be worth it to forestall the wider effects of global warming. This is a matter of opinion though, and I do not live in an area which could be sacrificial in this sense.
Not really possible, because Record and Map aren't compatible at all.
At best they both have something like `toString`.
You'll need to define at least something like RecordFunctor<T> and MapFunctor<T> to make this useful.
> It might be useful to "all be in the room" when brainstorming. Once the coding starts, this is just a set of distractions I don't need.

This is not the dichotomy you make it look. There are lots of other tasks to do, and for those I personally would often go in a cafeteria or public space, since I didn't mind the distractions -- reading code, doing code reviews, reading docs, writing docs, responding to emails. "Coding" was a relatively small part of my day as a SWE at [FAANG].
Depending on the outcome of the AMA with spez tomorrow [1], and how much it ends up inflaming the situation, that may well happen.

Not just this, but you couldn't see the product. In a store you can look at the product, see how it feels, try it on, test it out, etc. Early online shopping was a big gamble with different stores having different rules. It was often a frustrating experience.

Distance selling regulations helped with it a lot. I can buy a product online and if I'm not happy with it, for any reason, I can send it back for a refund. This just isn't the case with shopping in a store.

I learned this the hard way twice buying in store from Argos in the UK, only to get home and find I had bought a used product which someone else had returned already. Argos refused to refund or replace the items because they are used.

I looked this up at the time and it seemed to be a common occurrence, I can only assume people returned items they bought online and Argos just put them back on the shelves.

Had I bought it online and had it delivered to my house I could have returned it. I buy online wherever possible now.

Interestingly "click-and-collect" services are not covered by distance selling regulations which is how I got burned twice by Argos.

The thing is, it takes a bit of experience to appreciate why HKT are important, and typically you can only get this experience using Haskell.

There’s a couple of ways to think about it: it gives you a way to talk about List rather than List of T, it enables you to write partial types like partially-applied functions, or it makes it possible to define Monads.

But as I say, none of these things will sound immediately useful unless you have experience of using those concepts already.
Are these like type classes?

Excellent points! I'd like to add that while your Apple watch might last you 5-10 years, a mechanical watch well looked-after can last several lifetimes. I'm currently daily-driving an automatic watch from the mid-60s that still somehow looks pristine and keeps excellent time (for a mechanical, that is). I expect this watch to outlive me.
Then you can sue the electrical engineer who placed that component into a destructive path. If you use a lamborghini car instead of a lamborghini tractor to plow your field don't be surprised if the car breaks.

But if you use a smart meter (which by definition is in the path of the load) to switch something on/off it should not break as long as the load is within the spec of the meter. If it is out of spec of the meter, see above.

On a electrical component level the switching element they are using is rated for a maximal temperature. If they continue switching when it is outside of that temperature, because they did not observe a cooldown phase or don't guard against overheating in any other way, it is totally on them. They are operating the switching element outside of the scope, and they should never do that, even if some input tells them to do so.
When is the current hosted monicahq going to upgrade to chandler?
Frequently people will ask for a very specific thing, not understanding the greater context of what they are asking for. If they knew the greater context, then they would be asking different questions.

I suspect this question is one of those questions, but since this question feels foreign, I am probably the one who doesn't understand the greater context.

Why don't you need replication? What are the limitations you have (economic?) that resulted in this architecture?

There's absolutely a rational reason: many people in management went into management because they enjoy having power over people, and they can have more power over employees who are physically in office.

> Though an interesting question is whether people who took a pay reduction for remote working "somewhere cheaper" will get an IMMEDIATE bump in salary due to now having to move back to SF?

So Google really had two types of remote workers for the last couple years:

- Those who were "officially" remote: these people went through the process of converting their job title to "REMOTE" and took a pay cut in exchange for a different location (unless they were moving from a low cost to high cost location).

- Those who were "unofficially" remote: they just didn't show up in person often (or ever) but were paid like their local counterparts. Sometimes these people moved far away from their assigned site. Managers were often cool with people rarely showing up as long as they hit their KRs.

Right now Google is explicitly limiting new additions to the first "officially" remote group and trying to eliminate the second "unofficially" remote group.

So, until they start trying to eliminate the "officially" remote group, they won't have to adjust pay. But they will likely have to if/when they go after that group.
Explaining why it is not useful does not make it useful.
It may also be a sign of further layoffs.
> What I found to be the best approach is one or two people already established a concept at what to make or at least the image of it, and the discussion can move to the details and implementation plan.

This is exactly what I was getting at by referencing a benevolent dictatorship. When remote, it's just easier if one person is providing direction by fiat rather than trying to collect everyone's input and communally make a decision.

I tallied (roughly) the number of subscriber accounts, across all these reddits. It's around 1 billion. Obviously, it's not conservative as many will have subscribed to multiple. But, I see MAU (monthly active users) is about 1b. So, this is huge.

EDIT: Seems the source for MAU I found was way high, making this potentially even bigger. Every other source I've found is 400-500m range for MAU on reddit (as another pointed out).
"Let's put up gates against online access a 32% black state, with 20% at or below the poverty line."
A lot of Western culture. The expression "ok boomer" being a prominent example. I'd say any place where "traditional family values" are being eroded, so mainly wealthy urban areas.
It's also being said that HR will get involved if you haven't badged into your designated office in the last 30-60 days. That's the real threat.

There are many people at Google who are splitting their time between their desk location and somewhere else. Some are supercommuters - moving their families to a home in another state and coming back periodically for face-to-face meetings. Others are digital nomads, working remotely part time and on-site part time.

It's unclear if there's a tenable solution for those people.
Only if you want to abstract over them at usage-site.

In my case I only ever used the concrete types and converted between them at some point.

Ok it's not technically illegal it's just extremely unprofessional. If a business did that people would erupt.

He threatened them three times. Pay him 10 million dollars and he'll go away quietly, or else he'll send the reddit mob at them. Which is exactly what he just did when they didn't pay. He tried as hard as he could to do it. The actual audio with his tone of voice is way worse than the transcript. He told them 3 times just pay 10 million dollars and: "I could make it really easy on you", "we can both skip off into the sunset", "Bob's your uncle", "And have Apollo quiet down". Later he says Oh haha just kidding, I'm a "noisy API user".
I mean, smartphones existed for a long time before anyone cared, and it was only due to Blackberry (for business) and then Apple (for consumers) that that happened: until then the entire space was seen as nerdy and pointless (and was thereby something my friends and I were excited by... despite not having any real use for any of it yet).

And like... are you sure about being able to buy stuff online? I remember when being able to buy pizza online was new and there was a TV show in Japan about some crazy guy trying to survive off of stuff he ordered on the Internet, and the entire concept was just not a thing normal people were into... remember: the dot-com "boom" was actually a bubble and a lot of the stuff that came out during it failed.

I wish nuclear opponents would perform a like for like analysis of non-nuclear vs nuclear.

- How much does it raise co2 parts per million when operational?

- How much does it raise co2 parts per million when being built?

- Full environmental cost of the entire supply including construction?

- Deaths during construction.

- Deaths in the general population from "emissions" or accidents.

- Deaths during use and maintenance.

- How much area does the site area?

- How much area lost to 'contamination'? Oil spills, coal slag piles [1], but for nuclear, nature does quite well after humans leave the area. What are the byproducts of producing turbine blades and solar panels, including the construction of new factories and all the transport of materials to those factories, and the emissions of those factories?

- Post-use recycling (solar panels after 20yrs, wind turbines when a blade breaks)

Nuclear power hasn't been industrialized until recently and even then there's not a huge effort towards that.

Imagine if every single modern plane built is a one-off ad-hoc design. I wonder how much they'd cost? Best example I can think of, but huge complexity, safety-critical, a similar lifespan, with on going maintenance.

> A manufacturing facilities that produce 4 GW of solar/year is an exponential improvement over a 1GW nuclear reactor.

How are they an "exponential" improvement?

There's a vast amount of digging in some out-of-sight out-of-mind country to get materials out of the ground, with sketchy practices, shipped across the sea in a diesel power ship, to be refined, consuming more power, day-in-day out. And then there's the solar panel recycling story that we haven't even figured out yet. [2]

And with wind turbines, we started off on the wrong foot there as well. [3]

Apparently we're in a critical climate emergency, but nuclear is "too costly". And 'green' solutions are seen to be greener than they actually are.
