That says 180ml, so similar but different again? Still dumb either way. Don't call it 'cup', if you must use cups just use ⅔cup?

It's like if I invent an 'air fryer' as though that's something new, and then talk about an '18" oven tray' which is actually 6" wide, but in my air fryer line that's the measurement of what we call '18" oven tray'. Who's winning what? How is this good for anyone?
Sure, my original comment was about getting regulations right. (Nobody suggested markets are inherently self-regulating.)
I used to strongly agree with this. This is an article I wrote on the subject 10 years ago: https://blog.reverberate.org/2013/09/ll-and-lr-in-context-wh...

I even had ideas like what you mentioned about encoding precedence and associativity explicitly: https://github.com/haberman/gazelle/blob/a12a123129dfb7e1f3e...

But I'm no longer as optimistic. The main problem is that nearly all languages have syntax that cannot be easily formalized using declarative abstractions like CFG or PEG, and must fall back to imperative code. And once you have a mix of imperative and declarative code, most of the benefits of a purely-declarative abstraction go away -- or at least the benefits that mattered to me.

The article goes into quite a lot of depth about all the sources of inflation and how to fix it without actually mentioning the predominant cause of the latest inflation: Corporate Profits [1]

In Capitalism, we scorn at "price controls", and then go through a tortuous and roundabout mechanism by raising interest rates, so that the increased cost of borrowing causes corporations to cut expenditure which then pushes higher unemployment, reducing purchasing power and consequently reduces demand, all in the hopes that reduced demand would then cause prices to drop. But if the price increase wasn't triggered by higher purchasing power, then this whole rigmarole is meaningless, inflation remains "sticky"

Do you for example have data showing that life expectancy in this group is higher than, e.g., the life expectancy of an average citizen of France?
Vscode's notebook is quite good (as good as you consider it to be in comparison to pycharm), but on my system it always exhibits bugs: 'random' need to rerun code multiple times for the debugger to recognize changes, not terminating debugging session when I stop it, freezing interactive debugger shell in the middle of a session, etc.
They have, you can now select "none" when creating an Apple ID for the billing information. I believe the only way previously to get around this issue for a while was to buy a new Apple device because the initial device setup allowed for an Apple ID creation without billing info demands.

There are several doomsday movies that predate The Road, were better at the time, and hold up far better today, IMO. Children of Men (2005) would be my top suggestion. The rare movie I've gone back and watched multiple times. You know why it's good? Because the central premise didn't come true (humanity is infertile), but we live in that dystopia now anyway. It's like Black Mirror but for the police state. It didn't go into hyperbole like The Road or The Day After Tomorrow. It was a realistic, slow-motion apocalypse. Going out with a whimper instead of a bang.

However, Children of Men is admittedly not as bleak as The Road, so not a fair comparison. If you really want a film that produces bottomless despair in the viewer, I recommend Threads (1984) instead. It was produced by the BBC on a shoestring budget, and yet it's still a better film. I can't say I recommend it, but if you do watch it, the ending is on par with Requiem for a Dream for being memorable and filled with doom and horror.

The Road just wasn't very good IMO. No Country for Old Men, on the other hand? Same writer, different genre, but excellent.
Not familiar with the Instant Pot personally (I have a Sage/Breville Fast Slow Pro pressure cooker, which is pretty great!), but I believe it has a rice cooker function?

The “cup” markings are presumably the fill lines for making rice (ie: for 6 rice-cups of rice, add water to the 6 cup mark)?

At least, that’s how it works with a regular rice cooker.
I could use an ipad for it, which I already own. The point is I want to use my android phone, and there is no good reason why I shouldn't be able (other than google doesn't let me, which isn't a good reason!)
IMO, your post is spot on. Grinding out the last 10% of the boring details while fear starts creeping in and new ideas surface to distract you is exactly what I’ve felt.

You’ve codified this in a way that I feel like I can begin to manage it better. Really great post. I’ll incorporate this one into my life going forward.
> My current working theory is largely that internet search is just broken. It's easier to search for subreddit once you're on Reddit than to wade out into the sea of SEO crap and try to find a live, reliable format on the broader web. Google+search+display ads at scale killed the web, now we're back to AOL.

This is clearly the reason in my eyes. I append "reddit" to most of search queries not because reddit always has the best advice/information, but because the alternative is usually wading through page after page of SEO blog spam. Even if I know the information is better found somewhere else, I can usually find that somewhere else from reddit.

Want to compare headphones? Search returns blog spam. Computer components? Blog spam. Software framework or library question? Blog spam. Healthcare / Medicine? 1000 government / hospital websites that all give the same useless information. Nutrition? Blog spam. Every search results is either endless affiliate spam blogs or endless blogs all sharing the same trivial parts about a topic.

It's possible that there is a ton of useful information on the internet, but it's certainly not easy to find. It's amazing to me that Reddit failed to take advantage of their position as quasi internet hub, and seem to just want to be yet another endless content scroller app.
Is there context on this? I'd be interested in the history of what happened and why Eggert is no longer involved.

> That seems overly focused on the economics. Which are important, but when someone in one area needs to travel 100 miles to the nearest hospital, while another has a dozen hospitals within a 35sq mile area, there's a problem.

Probably because economics is the determining factor to everything. Notice how you went directly into the same issue, and then kept the same focus for the remainder of your comment.

> Which is why a single-payer system of some sort in the US is how we get out of this

This is a massive jump of logic with no attempt, let alone meaningful, in connecting ideas together.

There is something magical about going in to a movie knowing nothing about it (beyond the studio).

That is something that watching trailers robs you of. Even for fantastic movies, that’s something you’ll never get to experience no matter how many times it’s watched.
Maybe we are splitting hairs, but I think you are giving evolution far too much credit.

>All of the huge variety of behaviors you are outlining as choices (ass kisser, flatter...all), I am saying are pre-determined through evolution, and the environment the brain was raised in (culture, nature, etc..). In todays world there are too many variables to make 100% predictions, so it looks chaotic and like there are choices.

I am saying that most of what we see IS chaotic and emergent behavior, not behavior that was selected for. Most of human complexity and experience is artifacts and unintended results from an evelutionary perspective.

By way of example, the human brain "architecture" was evolutionarily selected to be able to make simple tools and get more calories. The fact that we build spaceships, the internet, and videogames is emergent phenomenon arising from our "architecture", but not selected for.

Styling many (if not most) aspects of human behavior, especially specific ones, to evolutionary fitness or purpose is overfitting or over-applying a huristic. It mostly 2nd, 3rd, or 100th order results of something that was selected for evolutionarily.

>I'd say all behavior, status, or decency, is programmed by evolution, as we evolved to live in groups. Because, where else would it have come from?

Evolution doesn't build or require organisms behave in an optimal way. Evolution simply favors ogranisms with behavior that, on net, is just the slightest bit better than chance.

It doesnt matter if 99% of behavior is random noise, and 1% helpful. It doesnt matter if 49% is actively detrimental, if 51% is advantageous.

You could asky why people find nicotine additictive. The "deterministisic" answer is beer must be evolutionarily advantageous and be programmed for. A closer answer would be that it is random chance that nicotine triggers some biological pathways designed for a different purpose entirely.

I think the vast majority of human behavior and experience is simply evolutionarily unintended consequenses interaction and running away with eachother. Like I said above, 1% advantage and 99% random noise is completely compatible with evolutionary theroy.

One of my first jobs was in a nursing home, and lemme tell you it's a pretty shit job. Not because of the specific working conditions, or because it's not fulfilling in many ways, but because you have to deal with a lot of gross filthy stuff and a significant fraction of your patients have dementia and are terrified, violent, or both. Being a vet tech is no picnic either but on balance I'd rather deal with animals than people.
I would second this statement.
Or years of crushing debt. Most people live paycheck to paycheck
Sure, and that's true of feet and others too (all sorts of different regional feet) - but we standardised and that changed long ago, and nobody uses them like that any more (you'll get some non-cup measurement alongside them that breaks the ratio usage).

Cups persist, but without much standardisation - you generally have to measure if you care to know which 'cup' size you bought. It won't often matter that much, but as I said it's intellectually annoying isn't it?

Being British I don't encounter them much, just American recipes, but I generally just mentally convert as ¼l (i.e. as though a metric cup, if anyone used that) if I'm following one.
If AI is too dangerous to allow normal people to have it, it is definitely too dangerous for governments and large corporations.
Not sure myself. Instant Pot was around for quite a while before it really took off. Perhaps some guerilla marketing?

I just looked at the Breville ones - a lot more expensive. Did the pre-Instant Pot ones have a timer, as well as yogurt/slow cooker capabilities?
The heavy investment is what makes this truth uncomfortable - it does not make this truth true (or false).

The point is not so much that we already said it, more that the patterns it encodes and surfaces when prompted are patterns in the written corpus, not of the underlying reality (which it has never experienced). Much like a list of all the addresses in the US (or wherever) will tell you very little about the actual geography of the place.
Up until a few he Pyrex brand consumer food storage containers seemed to be this other glass (soda lime?, with the bluegreen if you looking into the edge).

Then, a few years ago, they seemed to switch essentially the same SKUs to a third glass (whitish looking into the edge) in slightly different glass forms, and slightly different lid fit). (I don't think they were counterfeit.)

It’s fairly standard for cooking appliances. What your coffee maker refers to as a “cup” is also not a cup.
The ~180ml rice cups have been around for at least as long as rice cookers have existed.

It makes sense because 1 rice cup is the right amount of uncooked rice to make a decent serving for 1 person. A metric cup is too much!
>The Beatles were/are a band, but someone still controls who is in the band as band members can (and often do) change.

Yes. And when they do so, it's a hijacking of the original band's name. Which can be legally fine, but dubious as to the original spirit. Of course some bands are just a figurehead (or two) plus a replacable roster of members that are just hired guns. These remain the same band throught changes, because they were never about those other persons. But the Beatles weren't that with regards to John and George.

Even more so when it's 53 years (over a century) after the band called it quits.

Even more so when they are using, without the persons' permission, a demo song by a member who died 40+ years ago, who wrote it for their own solo use, as "the band's".

>At the moment the people that control the band are Paul McCartney and Sony. So, the "Beatles" and whatever the band comprises is whatever Paul wants it to be, not what you want it to be.

Irrelevant. We're talking about music and legacy, not trademarks and contract law. If that's your criteria for whether a song is a Beatles songs, that's a pretty law bar.

Hell, they might even sell the rights to the name and some Max Martin type in 2100 might put out new music as "The Beatles", having proper rights and everything. Even use snippets of the old songs. Doesn't mean that has anything to do with Beatles the band. It's just greedy music industry looking for quick bucks pissing all over a legacy.

> If the US also implemented price controls, companies would have little incentive to fund the development of new drugs.

Your comment is correct except this sentence. In reality, if the US implemented price controls, it would simply reduce the negotiating power of European countries. Prices in the US would go down, and prices elsewhere would increase. The pharmaceutical profits would decrease on net, but there would still be plenty of incentive for R&D (much of which is already derisked by the massive amounts of public money spent on it with zero expectation of return).
Let me guess, you are on a Mac.
> If technologists can't come up with a delineating line between valid and invalid software patents, how do you propose a judge to do so

I didn't say a judge should do it. I said the Congress should do it. And what Congress should do is a political question, not a legal one, which is why our opinion is as valid as yours.

As for 'just answer my question': I think you mainly want engineers to say something concrete so you can critique it. So how about if you tell us: what are some examples of good software patents?

Looking at GPL code doesn't poison your mind forever. Of course, you cannot directly copy GPL code and call it MIT. And you arguably cannot have GPL code open in one window and write your version in a separate window. Copyright protects a specific set of symbols in some order, not an underlying idea or algorithm. You can look at a GPL hashtable one day and write an MIT one the next, no problem.
Software licenses are the greatest legal psych out of my lifetime. US law permits anyone who has a legally acquired copy of a piece of software to copy it further[1], such

that such a new copy or adaptation is created as an essential step in the utilization of the computer program in conjunction with a machine and that it is used in no other manner

As anyone can see, this completely obviates any need to be licensed to use software once the seller has lawfully sold you a copy. It's yours and you can execute it as you see fit. Interestingly, this doesn't really affect the GPL because the GPL doesn't attempt to kick in unless you further redistribute. And that, of course, is not protected by section 117 and does require a license.

Of course we live in a regime where the process is the punishment, so if you're high profile you'll probably get hit with a ruinous lawsuit anyhow. C'est la vie.

Reddit forcing open the subreddits would result in massive backlash from moderators, who are often the main people providing content and enforcing content quality. It would crank the degree to which Reddit is tarnishing its reputation to 11.

A very small portion of users are responsible for the majority of the content and community building on Reddit. I think you might be underestimating how reliant the 99% of users who don’t post top-level content or serve as moderators are on the 1% who do.
That's a really interesting point. It's probably much easier for a skilled developer to make a cool, natively retro game with modern tooling. I wonder if there's a future for freelancers in this space?
Probably because they don't want to get steamrolled by a much wealthier competitor's marketing/lobbying machine, given all the permits and certifications needed. Franchises are hard to compete with in consumer markets. I used to have a great relationship with a vet who did house calls, but most of her clients were horse owners, which is a very different market than the typical household pet demographic. I doubt she could have got by without that specialty.
What's a 'coffee maker'? My espresso machine's portafilter basket takes as much coffee as I put in it. So does a cafetière. A Nespresso/other pod based machine is a fixed amount which as far as I'm aware is always specified in ml if at all.

This sounds precisely like the mechanical vs quartz watch debate. The $50 Casio keeps better time, is more durable, and requires less maintenance than the $10k Rolex. Practically speaking, there is no debate to be had. But it won't stop people from being fascinated by the prospect of time being kept solely by the movement of highly precise little gears.

When it comes to fountain pens though, the practical concerns you brought up are not wrong but somewhat overstated, and to me a fountain pen honestly feels nicer to write with than a ballpoint, so it's not solely an aesthetic.
> The decade following the great recession should have been a time of expansionary fiscal policy. Instead of congress investing in our future they argued and accomplished nothing.
