Non-visible spectrum, including x-ray, is common.

It allows one to see what’s below the surface (sketches or painted-over parts)

Researchers also use all kinds of machinery to figure out how paintings were made, what materials were used, etc.

A painting by Rembrandt was put in a synchrotron, for example (https://scitechdaily.com/researchers-discover-unusual-compou...)

Fuller sets of angles also is fairly normal and must have happened for some of van Gogh’s paintings, since you can or could buy 3D prints of them (https://all3dp.com/3d-printing-van-gogh-painting/)
People should stop using this argument. Or feel free to use it, but show your numbers.

The carbon emissions to build a Tesla are less than two years of carbon emissions of an ICE car ([1], page 22). Over the average life of a car a Tesla car is estimated to reduce emissions by 55 tons of CO2-equivalent.

Then theoretically, these changes for H1-Bs should both protect them from the indentured servitude, and by removing that leverage, remove the motivation for H1-B abuse.

If companies can't bring someone over that they can overwork and underpay at threat of deportation, they'll rethink the MBA-brained "optimizations" and be forced to create a more resilient workforce rather than a loose collection of people to rugpull every time the rate of profit increase dips by .0004%.

People in literally every nation appear to disagree with your position, at least as expressed in their border policies.

If your position were the majority opinion, some nation somewhere would be trying it.

For me personally, I think that the US would be a substantially less appealing place for those I care about if our population doubled to 700M. With open borders, we couldn’t prevent that.

Do I support more immigration of high-skilled, highly educated people and their families? Absolutely. Do I support open borders? Absolutely not.
Unsure what you're talking about. Most Linux desktops are absolutely saturated with modern "flat" themes and have all the "slick" flourishes: Disappearing microscopic scroll bars, incomprehensible monochromatic symbols, buttons with virtually no relief, zero-contrast layered windows for maximum confusion.

I would welcome a return to early 2000s human interface design. Everybody trying to emulate or surpass Apple took us down the road to ruin.

No, it’s not about price of a completely finished product in my humble opinion. It’s about the cost to produce the silicon component itself. Sure, it’s about money both ways, but the distinction is important.

The V100 had up to 32gb ram, the H100 is 188gb. While there’s obviously transistors in ram, the counts being compared are for the GPU itself. I’d argue that a big chunk of the price difference in the V100 vs H100 is RAM.
Depends on if there’s a lot of demand currently not being fulfilled. You’d expect wages to go down if new workers flooded a market already operating in a sense of “equilibrium” for lack of a better word. I don’t know what the case is in Canada though.

> Nurses unions have advocated in the US for policies like Medicare-for-all

The same way a mechanics' union would advocate for a car subsidy. I'm not saying it's disingenuous. Just that there is a commercial need served; I haven't seen a private sector union advocate for something meaningful that's revenue neutral.
> I don't understand what went wrong with Cars 2

Cars 1 was a cute fish out of water movie where a self-centered braggart is humbled and finds true friendship and how to be a better person. Cars 2 is a kids movie full of gunplay and violence that opens with a torture scene, progresses towards murder, and finishes with the protagonists escape a death trap to prevent mass murder for profit. I mean, I don't know what anyone was thinking with this one.
Why does it not make sense? Remote workers can join an union too.

"Retrofitting performance into existing applications is very difficult technically, and almost impossible to prioritize organizationally."

While this may not be the only explanation for why this trend continues, I think it's *spot on* to explain why this continues in commercially-funded software.

Well I am not necessarily saying that they need more immigrants, that’s up to them.
I've never heard of anyone referring to this as a "conspiracy theory". The toxicity of many types of plastics has been common knowledge for a very long time. Same with pesticides/herbicides. This has been discussed in "main stream media" for years, probably decades. There have even been various legislative attempts to curb their usage or improve their safe disposal.
Once you're going for consistent loaves eg selling them to people who expect them to be the same every day, you do have to factor in hydration of the starter. Usually you keep it the same as the dough for simplicity but there are reasons why it might make sense for them to be different.
NEO is not a new generation plane, it’s a new engine option with some engineering work to support the bigger engines but overwhelmingly similar airframe and flight characteristics. They also put sharklets on the wings by default

MAX is not just a new engine option, it’s an entirely overhauled configuration and position which accordingly drastically altered flight characteristics masked by all new fly-by-wire systems and previously half-baked safety monitoring in order to prevent Boeing from needing recertification.

Which speaks perfectly to the culture of safety at Airbus vs the new Boeing management approach that is the hallmark of American late stage capitalism
I agree we (North Americans) need more, easier, and smoother immigration, but I see no reason we shouldn't limit it to people who will make the lives of our citizens better by being here. "You are what you eat" applies to countries as well.

Same concern, at least with older phones. I think any newer phones (last 5 years or so) are encrypted by default. Anyone with real expertise in this, please chime in.

> Wall-E is famously bifurcated, with the first half being a nearly dialogue-free tone poem and the latter half a (now PROBLEMATIC) story about saving humanity.

What's problematic about the second half of WALL-E?
Well, you are right.

When it comes to drawing Van Gogh isn't really "a master". He began painting very late in life, didn't have a long apprenticeship and his career lasted just 10 years. Also, he lived in a cultural context (post-impressionism) that was moving away from classical notions of drawing and composition.

Besides, he wasn't the kind of guy that would spend days or weeks or months in a painting. Most of his paintings were the work of one day or afternoon on the field or beach, he wanted that quick burst of expression. That's why he was so prolific. Think jazz improvisation, not classical music composition.

The greatness of his work comes from the vibrant use of colour and brushwork, not drawing and composition.
Maybe house builders and doctors can come too if there's a demand for it? Maybe the new comers can pay for housing and healthcare like everyone else(taxes, insurance etc.)?

In short there could be some problems but at some point it will stabilize and the would will become a meritocratic place.

I hate that this happened to you, I'm so sorry. As a fellow Brit, I know how brutal kids here can be, I've been attacked (broken nose, kicked in the head and face), and I was so fortunate not to have any lasting damage (that I know of...). I share your pain in terms of the justice system, out of the four times I was attacked, only once was it properly investigated and went to court. And that was only because the guy was dumb enough to do it in front of a CCTV camera and didn't even bother to flee. That was the least serious attack as well.

Hopefully your condition will improve, your brain's still developing and still very malleable still, so, hopefully it can repair over time and you'll start to feel sharper again.

What I will say, it sounded like you were exceptional to begin with, so I'll hazard a guess that you'll still have a more than competent set of skills, in spite of what happened to you. So, you'll probably still have a fantastic career even with this setback. You're still so young, and most people you age aren't even thinking of their careers, or even have employable skills (I didn't start programming until I left uni at 21, for example). So you have time on your side, big time.

So, just make sure you look after yourself, focus on healing as much as you can. Don't push yourself too hard, be patient, make sure you have the support you need from friends and family. Do things you enjoy, life's not all about careers and jobs, especially when you're young. It's great you're so motivated and thinking about these things at your age. But, don't make this the be all end all, enjoy your younger years.

Also, reframe the way you see setbacks like this. You might not go to Oxbridge, and that might suck, but you don't know what you'll do instead. Often, when I miss out on something, I find a way to turn it into a positive, I find a way to make the most of negatives and turn them into positives. Who knows, you might skip uni altogether, start a business and have more success than if you were to get into GCHQ or Oxbridge or whatever. You might have hated those two options once you got there, you just never know.

Focus on your recovery, I wish you all the very best of luck with everything. Genuinely.
Interesting none of the kits from AirGradient seem to do PM0.3, which is the big thing I want (due to smoke).
For context, what is the "normal" immigration policy for Canada? E.g. if you are a poor person from a random country with no H-1B? How many non-refugee economic migrants normally move to Canada in a year?
They are previewing a new version at the moment, it's quite a bit quicker and can switch between organisations very quickly too which was always a pain in the old version.
That's just an ester bond. That's extremely common in biochemicals, including food.

Kitchen scales start to have this feature built in at around the $60 point too. Dramatically simplifies bread baking, pickling, and a couple other pure ratio projects.
Yep, my dad kept his Nexus going till last year when he went to the states (had to switch to 4g).

I don't think there was much left of the original by then...
climate change can’t be prevented, it’s a natural oscillating cycle on a grand scale, but not making plastic is totally on us, though perhaps we will all freeze or boil long before drowning the ecosystem in plastic, there is some real bitter irony in being hopeful that nature can take us out before we do even more harm, if it can’t then I guess Earth will have proven itself not so resilient, but I suspect on a long enough timeline the Earth will absorb it all deep into the white hot swirling depths for refinement, climate change may end up being a big part of the solution

IDK, my Linux desktop looks pretty nice, sleek, sharp, and utterly usable. It looks definitely better than my wife's gaming machine that runs Win10. In particular, it lacks visual rough edges, and is way, way more consistent. It also does not imitate macOS.

I dislike many UX decisions that Apple have made last 15 years. But I greatly appreciate their consistency and a presence of a design language. Last time I saw a consistent design language on Windows was Windows XP.
Can you say more about this? Which changes? Also interested.

I think the point is that we don’t see the major spikes that the ubiquitousness of plastics combined with the alarm levels raised by headlines like this would theoretically produce.

If plastics are indeed poisoning us, the hazard ratio seems to be small enough that it would require significant research to quantify.

Compare to, say, the lung cancer skyrocket that happened in the 70s-90s from the 30-year smoking habits developed in the 40s-60s.

With plastics, either the lag time for effects is really long, the effects themselves are so spread out that any meaningful bump for a single one is hard to identify, or we are reducing other causes of the same issues in lock step.

I guess if Pixar was never a masterpiece factory then no studio was? It's certainly not like Disney hasn't had a history of duds from pretty much the beginning. I haven't been a fan of Pixar for the last couple decades, but their first 6 films (the ones most people think of when they hear the name "Pixar") were pretty excellent. By the time The Incredibles came out, there was no reason to not believe a Pixar movie was guaranteed to be worth seeing.
I am interested why governments are not setting up national drug production companies.

Cheap healthcare products ensures more productive society, that needs less spend on healthcare and pays more taxes.

National businesses do not care for being profitable and will keep prices in check for monopoly profiteers, but probably not be lean enough to kill private generics businesses.
Indeed, see https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams-blog/..., an article from March this year.
It's actually part of our national immigration strategy.

If you have 2 kids you can get to Canada faster especially school age.

Please say why? I thought about moving to Italy but taking a 40% income loss to taxes seems insane to me. Canada is pretty much the same. I’d rather move to Georgia or Indiana.

Canada eating America's lunch is something that I have heard multiple times in past 20 years. There was a time where YC took pitches in Vancouver or something perhaps a decade or so ago. I do not know if they are still continuing this.

At the end of the day, the immigration is only part of it. The economics of being Software developer compared to US or India are not that great (in general). That is where Canada in my humble opinion should focus.
> These are exactly the kind of immigrants any country should be desperate to have.

People of often having a cultural, religious and moral background completely different to more-or-less original value Canadians? How will that work?

Oh i guess by appeasing everybody to create that multicultural society with less & less identity of its own, just the same bland globalized aftertaste. The major Canadian cities beside Montreal and Quebec are already taken.
oh, that's good to know, thanks. Then I will be careful not to log-out by accident.
For perspective, the document indicates their manufacturing area which was supposed to be sterile had bacteria and/or fungus growing on sentinel culture plates.
Having to communicate with outside is kinda overkill if you just want to have container A talking to container B.

But the solution is internal CA, not self signed certs that defeat near-entire point of encrypting communication.
What about all of the negative effects of masses of people attempting to move somewhere that hasn’t prepared for their arrival? (Energy, sewage, public transport, healthcare, housing, etc). How are these things planned if movement is completely free and fluid?
On an aggregate level, probably true, but I've run across plenty of highly talented people in smaller markets and at less exciting companies purely because it's where they wanted to be.

That means you designed your architecture incorrectly; get an internal CA and automate it, then pod can just have long term root CA embedded in it.
It's because the situation outside (in poorer countries) is even shittier, and stocking shelves is not paid enough to be able to live normally (without 6+ people in one bedroom), because cheap foreigners living 6+ in one bedroom do it, instead of the company having to pay local workers high enough wages. Even if foreigners leave, someone new, from an even shittier situation will come and replace them.

If shop owners were forced to pay native canadians the "livable" amount of money, the situation might be different... but I agree, that the housing situation is fucked in most of the developed world and governments actively try to keep it in a fucked state.
just for curiosity:

- what kind of data are you storing in mongodb?

- why mongodb when you already have postgresql + redis?

- it's a one-man business?
Not by that much, look at a phone battery soldered to a phone PCB today, it'll fit in most form factors. If there are a couple of different standardized sizes, it could fit anything, and also allow combinations of multiple.

Look at PC monitors: you can attach all kinds of monitors with different resolutions to PC's, and there exist some pretty exotic ones with eye trackers etc... too, and of course also various VR headsets can be connected too.
Big unions like the CWA do a lot more than that, but I don't really care what it is, although I think a lot of people in tech have a knee-jerk anti-union response so maybe that's not the way to go.

Mount temporary directories as tmpfs

While this is a great tip it is missing one important piece which is to specify a size. Each tmpfs mount by default will allocate half of memory as shared memory. This is fine until applications and people actually utilize this space and can cause out of memory and system panic conditions. To avoid this specify a size. So

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0

might become adjust size as desired or as required

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,size=2g 0 0
tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,size=512m 0 0

Then for other scratch/temp spaces set the size as required by the application or number of people that simultaneously utilize the system. It may also be important to note that tmpfs is swap backed meaning that if one has sensitive data in that tmpfs mount then swap should be encrypted. This can occur even if vm.swappiness is set to 0.
