Ironically, the disabled student I went to Chicago with, was Celiac as well. We actually had such a fun time finding Celiac-friendly places to eat, and I enjoyed trying new forms of familiar foods. The one advantage to going to a huge city is that there WERE Celiac-friendly places, and the smaller city I lived in at the time had nothing dedicatedly GF. I'm sorry there are people who said that to you. It's disheartening how people can't think outside the box and realize if human beings are creative enough to build the Coliseum and the Great Wall, we can figure out a way to make a gluten-free version bread. Might not be exactly the same as wheat, but it's decent, and we're innovating all the time. I wish you a flourishing life!

Sometimes people just vote for "their team", similar to a sportsball fan placing a large bet on their favorite team winning, without any insider knowledge. I've seen it a couple of times on PredictIt for the more contentious predictions (presidential election being one, control of the house / senate, etc). While in the end those with better information will usually come out on top, in those kinds of markets the favored prediction doesn't align well with the data.

> new stuff that came out in the last 20 years.

There isn’t really that much of this. Let’s consider an oven:

Good temperature control: accurate, precise and reliable temperature sensors (e.g. thermocouples) have been around for a long time, as have switching devices that are plenty high speed to make an excellent oven. PID control would be easy with 1980 technology or current technology. Ovens with good temperature control are nonetheless rare.

Forced convection (aka a fan): no new technology required. And they’ve been around for years.

Direct outdoor exhaust: this was available in the 80s and 90s. Not sure where it went.

Good insulation: nothing fancy here. Mineral wool and fiberglass have been around for a long time. Even silicone rubber gaskets that tolerate oven temperature are not particularly new.

Touch screens: most of them are still worse than the old analogue controls.

Steam with good controls: this is pretty new and very rare.

I suspect most of what’s going on is that fancy appliance makers try to keep BOM cost very low and that helps and whistles sell appliances. (Compare a $1500 induction cooktop to a $7k fancy brand gas cooktop. I suspect the BOM cost on the induction unit is rather higher. The gas unit has some cheap brass or bronze castings (I think I read somewhere that those burners cost under $20), a potentially shiny piece of stainless steel sheet, and really cheap controls. The obvious safety mechanism to turn off the gas if the burner isn’t lit? Nonexistent. The only thing $7k buys you is a nice brand name and maybe slightly more solid construction than a much cheaper unit.)

> Some 60 million people died in World War II. On average, 27,000 people perished on each day between the invasion of Poland (September 1, 1939) and the formal surrender of Japan (September 2, 1945)

If you believed in earnest (as they did) that the atomic bombs stood a very good chance of shortening WWII, there was absolutely no case for safety regulations short of preventing accidents that wiped out large numbers of lab personnel. Even a single day's delay would kill over a thousand times as many people as lives you'd save.

This is me. I occasionally ride my bicycles (acoustic and electric) on sidewalks. I do so at walking pace, though.

Everywhere you see a cyclist on a sidewalk, that's a sign that the road isn't safe enough. If the road were safe, don't you think they'd prefer not worrying about pedestrians?
Ex-NSA Official Harry Coker Tapped for National Cyber Director Job
I agree with you and I think it's the main point of the article: cities need to push to make public transport a "first class transportation medium" so that people from all Socioeconomic levels take it.

The same thing happens here in my city in Mexico: public transport is uncomfortable, slow, insecure and dirty. So, mid/high income population avoid using it and instead buy cars. The government then has to spend more money in infra for those cars; money that could be used to improve public transport.

I guess a difference between Mexico and USA is that because here the m as majority of people are "poor" , more people use public transport.
at the same time, other cultures around the world with big, urban centers have adopted to the more chaotic traffic. Big, safe, 4-wheel vehicles have brought gridlock to the core city, and with that is waste. Its a challenge for sure, but strict traffic enforcement in a 1960s way seems gone in 2023.
Reminds me of EmDrive. That was such a tease and then utter disappointment.

What do you mean by "day-to-day operations with multiple dashboards"?

I seldom log into either the PayPal or Stripe dashboards. I've developed several integrations into our internal tools to streamline processes. For example, these integrations allow us to view all payment transactions across different platforms and handle refunds.

Both PayPal and Stripe have been configured to automatically deposit payouts into our company's bank accounts each day. This feature initially required us to contact PayPal to enable it (via PHONE CALL!), while with Stripe it could be activated with a single click.
With the service per lifetime measurment stick, its still increddibly cheap. We are definatly poorer if you take the Terry Pratchet boot economics yardstick.
A fair portion of their huge equipment is already connected to a power cord, so electricification isn't a problem itself. But pretty much everything is moving 24/7. For things like heavy shovels uptimes are commonly 88% per year. When you look at how much maintenance is needed to keep running in these rough environments it's a pretty amazing number.

That would help a little bit, but most of the illegal biking by ebikes is done to save their time not because they're feel unsafe. Things like salmoning (going wrong way in an already existing bike line); careening down the sidewalk the last few feet to get to restaurant (instead of walking the bike like they're supposed to; running red lights; gas mopeds illegally using a bike lane; etc.

Even the most protected bike lines everywhere wouldn't fix the above.
I think drivers and bike riders agree that NYCs pedestrians are always walking in the road and bike lane. Or maybe it's just easier to hurl insults at pedestrians than it is drivers.

Why is this even relevant in AWS?
One more wrinkle: authorization starts with “author” but in computer security is no longer about who wrote the data but rather if they are allowed to. It has its origin in “to determine the author of” but the modern usage is at least twice removed from that, in that it’s really checking if the _token_ was written by the _system_ not if the user was the content author.
> I get the feeling Amazon was happy to eat the cost to reduce friction in deploying EC2 instances [...] and now they can just add another charge to the pile that 99.99% of users will never notice.

This always leaves me puzzled about the concept of "free markets." How can smaller entities compete when these massive conglomerates can perpetually introduce loss leaders or subsidize pricing in new sectors using profits from their existing businesses? This strategy effectively shields them and reduces competition.

My initial thought is that it should be illegal for companies to invest in sectors unrelated to where they generated their profits. However, I recognize this could lead to numerous unintended consequences.

So, what could be an alternative solution?

Yes. Sometimes Hotels have cheaper rates on Airbnb. Not sure why. Possibly because they don't want to advertise those lower rates on their own websites or they have exclusive deals with Airbnb.

Edit: Another reason is that Airbnb simply provides more eyeballs for hotels. Sites like Booking.com is very crowded already.
I'd much rather be struck by an e-bike than a car or truck.
Yes, the e-bike drivers are creating the risk by riding against traffic and in crosswalks where turning traffic can't see them coming. This would be an issue even if all the other traffic was bikes and not cars -- though admittedly not as deadly.
A device that is acting as a brick cannot receive commands and is not useful at all. That is the current status of voyager 2.

"Unbricking" will hopefully work automatically, because there is no other option. But that can also fail and there is no way to know, or influence it.

I use bricking in the definition of mobile phone tinkerers .. there are many results for unbricking btw, but I just checked and with the first result it seems that Apple now uses unbricking for activating a new device. Because technically before, it is also just a brick - but here I would agree, that it is not a appropriate term, but rather should be for somehow broken devices.

> Some people lack resilience, and they will collapse under the pressures of professional and personal life. Some people lack ambition and drive, they don't want to exceed their level of productivity no matter what you do.

Few people don't want to improve their productivity. Improving your productivity makes you more valuable. But plenty of people don't want to work harder. There is of course a difference!

I deal poorly with stress, and am thankful I have reached a point in my career where I can earn pretty good money in positions where I'm not pushing myself too hard.

I enjoy learning of course, and do want to get better. But that's in balance with the demands of family and the happiness and fulfillment I find in other pursuits.

I have been promoted reasonably quickly over the past 5 years without playing political games. My productivity has improved through experience, and it seems like that got recognised through promotion. But I guess it's possible I got lucky with managers making bad decisions in my favour.

At the end of the day, materials science is still science. The institutional framework is optimized for a very specific process, so it's generally faster to let the process play out as usual rather than go and cut corners. Rest assured; there are a lot of scientists out there! We can afford to let a few of them chase clouds once in a while.

In any case... the creation process described in the original paper is relatively cheap and low-tech enough that labs will likely generate their own samples in less time than any procurement process would take.

So I wrote this library

https://paulhoule.github.io/gastrodon/

which makes it very easy to visualize RDF data with Jupyter by turning SPARQL results into data frames.

Here are two essays I wrote using it

https://ontology2.com/essays/LookingForMetadataInAllTheWrong...

https://ontology2.com/essays/PropertiesColorsAndThumbnails.h...

People often think RDF never caught on but actually there are many standards that are RDF-based such as RSS, XMP, ActivityPub and such that you can work on quite directly with RDF tools.

Beyond that I’ve been on a standards committee for ISO 20022 where we’ve figured out, after quite a few years of looking at the problem, how to use RDF and OWL as a master standard for representing messages and schemas in financial messaging. In the project that needed PyPy we were converting a standard represented in EMOF into RDF. Towards the end of last year I figured out the right way to logically model the parts of those messages and the associated schema with OWL. That is on its way of becoming one of those ISO standard documents that unfortunately costs 133 swiss franc. I also figured out that it is possible to do the same for many messages defined with XSLT and I’m expecting to get some work applying this to a major financial standard and I think there will be some source code and a public report on that.

Notably the techniques I use address quite a few problems with the way most people use RDF, most notably many RDF users don’t use the tools available to represented ordered collections, a notable example with this makes trouble is in Dublin Core for document (say book) metadata where you can’t represent the order of the authors of a paper which is something the authors usually care about a great deal. XMP adapts the Dublin Core standard enough to solve this problem, but with the techniques I use you can use RDF to do anything any document database can, though some SPARQL extensions would make it easier.
Honestly I don't think I've ever used a precompiled package in Python. Every single C stuff seems to take ages and requires all that fun stuff of installing native system dependencies.

Edit: skimming through this page, precompiling seems like an afterthought, and the linked packages don't even seem to mention how to integrate third-party libraries. So I guess I can see why it doesn't deliver on its promises.
I don't want to ruffle too many feathers, but I've developed a lot of animosity for cyclists; largely due to having interacted with them in parks, where they can be so incredibly selfish.

Of course, I get some frustration when I'm stuck behind a bike, but I try to restrain it be safe. Meanwhile cyclists act like they rule the road. I've had them yell at me. They run pedestrians off the sidewalk.

Cyclists aren't exactly "the good guys" much of the time.

Yes, the fact that everyone is trying to replicate the process rather than validate the existing material is very weird. Replication is hard, validation is much easier. If they've had this material for years, just send some off to a few labs...

People claiming unusual abilities/etc usually focus on a very difficult ceremony/situation/feeling/process rather than the outcome. Ghosts, spiritual experiences, etc. really avoid the areas where they would be easily disproven - they prefer murky, unspecified criteria. This paper is full of unspecified details, and also doesn't provide samples. Of course, there is a story for why - the drama between the scientists, etc. There always is a reason. But at the end of the day, they're claiming something amazing, which if they would just _send a piece of the material to MIT_ this whole drama would be over. The longer the uncertainty lasts, the more suspicious it is that they haven't taken this path.

It's the same with the recent US Government reports on alleged aliens. There is a lot of focus on rare, hard-to capture or reproduce events, and little focus on just showing us the actual alien ship wreckage, even though that'd be much easier, if it were true.

I have made a play money market asking the same thing: "A physics lab will have received a package of the LK-99 material sent from the researchers by the end of August" [ https://manifold.markets/StrayClimb/a-physics-lab-will-have-... ]

Not many traders yet, 57% yes, too optimistic in my view.

A side not I always wondered why don't we have refrigerator models that are "split system" as we have with ACs.

As it stands now it's a heat pump that pumps the heat from your refrigerator into your home. Wouldn't it be possible to create way more energy efficient model that has an outside body? Or even better connects to the AC body you already have outside? Like in the summer it would "help" the AC by being another AC itself, and in the winter it would effectively be "free" as it got its cold from the outside.

I'm sure there's a reason nobody has attempted this (complexity / price) but was just wondering what the data point on something like this would be? Presumably with modern buildings this could be reduced accommodated, especially with geothermal AC being on the rise right now, would be cool to have all your heat pump systems connected to a single loop, sharing efficiency.
No joke here, if you have a VR headset laying around, give this game a try, it's made by a solo developer who used to make mods for KSP. It's insane how good it is, with lots of systems being pretty detailed yet approachable. You don't need anything more than a VR headset for it, in fact, not supporting external input devices like HOTAS is sold as a feature.
Now, that is a ridiculous take. By your definition, entitled people have to describe themselves as such? The rest of us use "entitlement" as a term to describe the action of others. People aren't making "false claims" when they do that.

Resorting to personal attacks because someone refused to implement and maintain your pet feature for free fits the description of "entitlement" in my book.
Sorry, I misunderstood. Thank you for clarifying.
Let me give an example of the “predicable idiocy”: mixing zones on 1st Ave bike lane.

Drivers are supposed to yield to cyclists, as they are left turning across a lane of straight moving traffic. It is extremely predicable that they never do, so I can prepare by instead cutting a bit outwards and going around them on the right.

OTOH mopeds/e-bikes will simply come flying out the wrong way from a cross street and start riding head-on downtown. This isn’t something that you can see well in advance, and need to suddenly react to.

It’s particularly bad on 1st because if they are salmoning out of a cross street they could have just gone the right way and ended up on 2nd, which goes downtown…

I also disagree with the safety angle for them riding in bike lanes, because very few of them are even close to wearing proper motorcycle gear (ATGATT). If they cared about their safety they wouldn’t be wearing shorts and flipflops. They’re using bike lanes because it’s faster.
Yes, that's what they're short for.

From what I can tell from the announcement the change will apply to a NAT gateway, so the cost of that will rise from 0.045 to 0.05, the same as having 10 IP addresses.
If they are really seeing high costs associated with IPs then I would like to see them reduce the price of the NAT gateway to the same as having 3 or 4 IP addresses or less, ideally free then they would probably see a lot bigger uptake.
