I can't find it again but I read a few days ago a slightly different variant of this story, maybe before the layoffs, in which Zuck/Chan were reported to be summoning CZI executives and asking them what they are actually doing all day and what their projects are. From the quotes in the report it sounded like the foundation was very lightly managed by them, and they suddenly noticed that it was full of projects that were actually maybe useless. Apparently the layoffs indicate they didn't see a way to cancel all those projects whilst staying on good enough terms with the people running them, which makes sense.
"Toxic" is also the what almost everywhere in earth considers illegal, immoral and criminal. It's the worst things in the planet.

Even the "uncensored" sites don't allow this evil.
Because this defense doesn't solve the issue that the water is being used faster than it's being replenished. The biggest issue with this is on wells which are sucking so much water out of the ground it's collapsing the ground itself, in ways that are likely permanently lowering the water capacity of the ground. Even if it doesn't the run-off water isn't going back into those deep aquafers.

Arent a lot of businesses being sold on "real time analytics" these days?

That mixes the uses cases of analytics and operations because everyone is led to believe that things that happened in last 10 minutes must go through the analytics lens and yield actionable insights in real time so their operational systems can react/adapt instantly.

Most business processes probably don't need anywhere near such real time analytics capability but it is very easy to think (or be convinced that) we do. Especially if I am a owner of a given business process (with an IT budget) why wouldn't I want the ability to understand trends in real-time and react to it if not get ahead of them and predict/be prepared. Anything less than that is seen as being shamefully behind on the tech curve.

In this context-- the section in article where it says present data is of virtually zero importance to analytics is no longer true. We need a real solution even if we apply those (presumably complex and costly) solutions to only the most deserving use cases (and not abuse them).

What is the current thinking in this space? I am sure there are technical solutions here but what is the framework to evaluate which use case actually deserves pursuing such a setup.

Curious to hear.
Or it's because you weren't Facebook.

Like angular, react got the huge initial boost in popularity because of the brand behind it.
This article is very short sighted. This is CA. You know once they ban one crop or start charging more for that crop, then they will start charging more for everything else. CA likes to suck companies dry through regulation and taxation. Once they go down this slippery slope, it won't end and prices on all foods will increase as a result.
i wonder if this produces better results than Reality Capture?
>there would be no point in discussing ethical issues at all if moral relativism were correct (...) you wouldn't have bothered to post a comment at all if you were the nihilist you are posing as

This is wrong on several levels, including practical and philosophical (and those aspects of it have been covered a lot in moral philosophy).

For starters, whether morality is relative or objective has no bearing at all to whether it exists as a practical force in the human world - and thus whether it makes total practical sense to study it, shape it, apply it, benefit from it, use it to make things work smoother or more to your liking, and so on.

(Not to mention how it also makes sense to examine it, document it, and discuss it, from a curiosity or historical interest perspective, even if it doesn't concern one directly as a practical matter. People do study the morality of other historical periods or distant societies, for example, even if it has no impact on their life in their society).

Note that there are several other things for which exactly the same thing applies: religion, laws, taboos, and so on, even art and fashion.

>you wouldn't have bothered to post a comment at all if you were the nihilist you are posing as

Rejecting natural rights and understanding that rights are historical constructions doesn't mean one is disintered in rights.

I am very much interested in my right to my property, for example, and will vote, advocate, protest, demonstrate, etc, to maintain it.

I don't have to believe there's some inherent natural "right to property" for that. Just that I find the legal enforcement of one beneficial to me, and that I'd rather live in a society where it is enforced, as opposed to one where it's not.
Lawrence Livermore Lab paper asserts gravity electromagnetism interaction
I second this as a backend python dev. I’m adopting tailwind for my latest project because I don’t need to learn the intricacies of front end styling. I really care so very minimally about it, and respectfully do not think anyone is going to need to be CSS masters in 20 years. If there’s any area where LLMs show promise to write reasonably responsible code, it’s front end styling. And that is coming from a huge skeptic of LLMs.
In Imperial County, a lot of it ends up in the Salton Sea, where the nutrients it carries from the farms eutrophicate the water, the resulting algal blooms kill most of the fish, leaving rotting carcasses all over the shoreline, and also downstream killing a bunch of migratory birds that normally stop there to eat and now have no food.
I posted this once before and it got no traction. I decided this time to make the title more descriptive of what is actually afoot here. I'd like people to note the level of engineering in this reactor concept demonstrates a long term commitment of serious resources by LLNL to a modified Einstein field equation (equation 15 in the paper), which states that electromagnetism can affect the curvature of spacetime under certain conditions. Given that the method of operation for the reactor explicitly requires these effects, I also believe they must be substantial in magnitude and that they have actually demonstrated this experimentally to justify this level of commitment. I personally think this paper is a decade or more of work by LLNL. I hope this gets looked at this time, please upvote if you think this is interesting. I look forward to hearing everyone's take on this.
I would probably avoid using these specific tickets; someone else may have had the same idea, and that means more likelyhood of prize sharing.

If you permute the numbers with a substitution cipher (randomly chosen), maybe? Personally, I'd prefer a ticket selection like this that covers all the numbers over 27 random selections that may leave some numbers open, etc; but I wouldn't be surprised if you run the numbers, assuming no prize sharing, and get the same results on any distinct 27 tickets.
True, but that’s not my point.
Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast recently had two episodes on the topic:

"An Arizona Farmer on How to Grow Alfalfa in the Middle of the Desert"

> Due to a combination of drought, climate change and booming growth, Arizona is facing looming water scarcity. But for all the sprawl and population increase, the overwhelming amount of water used in the state is not consumed by residences, but rather farmers. So naturally, many argue that we should be doing less agriculture in the desert and move the production of cotton, alfalfa and various vegetables towards places with more rain. On this episode, we speak with Trevor Bales, the proprietor of Bales Hay Farm & Ranch in Arizona about his family’s history in the state and why he thinks this dry desert is a great place to grow alfalfa.

"Understanding the Real Fight Over Water in Arizona"

> Arizona recently announced new constraints on housing development in the areas around Phoenix. At issue is water rights and scarcity, which have been a challenge for the US Southwest for as long as people have been living there. That being said, the region is currently in the midst of a 25-year megadrought and when you combine that with booming growth, difficult choices may have to be made. But how do water rights get divided? Who holds them? How much is water worth to the housing developers, farmers and semiconductor manufacturers that have flocked to the state? To learn more, we speak with Kathryn Sorensen, director of research at the Kyl Center for Water Policy at the Morrison Institute for Public Policy at Arizona State University. We discuss both current and past water management practices in the state.

Perhaps after decades of being told "trust us, these random concoctions we whipped up in the lab are perfectly safe, we spent 30s thinking of how this might instantly kill you and didn't come up with anything, therefore they are harmless" only to find out later that they cause major problems, people are finally starting to do the sane thing and not trust the shockingly stupid position of "prove harm or we'll permeate the world with it, actual consequences be damned".

It's less some new finding about the specific compounds and more a shift in default position.
Effective policing happens before someone is poisoned. Everything after is a bandaid.

I believe catchnear4321 is clearly correct.
I hate to be blunt on this topic, but it's necessary to make my point. Montana needs to adapt to the 21st century. Their mining towns are barely 100 years old, and have little history. As coal jobs gradually fade away, the community can either adapt to renewables and tech, or die out. We simply cannot sustain the burning of more coal for our children's future. Yes, please think of the children on this, and maybe only this instance.

The impression I have after talking to a couple of people is that they’re young, naive bootlickers that just want to be a part of the Elon cult.
Again it is extreme naïveté, those assassins when caught are summarily executed. Iran will pick people off the street, accuse them of working for Israel and kill them, just to send a message to their own people. They’re not politely returning western assassins.

So who is using this/hotwire/unpoly and something like capacitor or maybe react native wrapper or turbo-iOS to make “native” mobile apps that are mostly just web apps? Any good war/success stories?

I have to assume that just like most web apps don’t need aggressive SPA front ends, many mobile apps fall in the same boat…
Visibility and self-promotion is how you get ahead in the workplace. Staying quiet and focussing on good work because "it'll speak for itself" is naive and in general the result is only to be taken advantage of.

What is happening is those friends are rapidly approaching the global median amount of wealth, which is probably much lower than what was typical before. If there is no exceptional, specialized or physically proximity requirement to their work, they will eventually end up with the global median of wealth (which is increasing).
I think the Front-End is split into multiple different parts that work together but I sometimes think about them separately. A) The organization of the individual parts. B) The 'look' of those parts. C) Technical stuff like Accessibility, parent-child coupling, etc.

Learning A can be pretty quick for some basics, learning B is a rabbit hole that can take ages to 'learn'. The good news is most of what you need is for something 'competent' is in A

To answer your points below:

1) Front load your design. The equivalent to Pseudocode for the Front-End is to wireframe. Consider all of your pieces, how they should be grouped, and why. There are some common patterns you'll run into in everyday life. If you find those patterns, draw them on a piece of paper (or your editor of choice, you could do it with mspaint if you wanna). Then you can write out your HTML/CSS. I typically work back and forth. All the HTML, then I CSS, then more html if needed, then more css. etc.

2) An effective Front-End is one which gets the user where they want to go with as little friction *as possible*. Emphasis on as-possible because, just like asap, it doesn't mean "yesterday" it means, "Please prioritize this task above other tasks". An effective FE has a clear idea of purpose and wastes no time achieving those goals. Also, see patterns above. This might not be useful yet but one pattern is to look at the shape of what you're trying to display and allow that to dictate the FE. As an example - almost all documentation sites have a left (or right, or floating) vertical navigation, it takes up maybe 10% of screen width, and then the content of that documentation fill the rest of the width with some amount of padding on the left and right. Consider flipping this pattern. Make the Nav horizontal and the documentation full width to get a feel for why most documentation looks the way it does.

2.1) Some terms to search, "Elements of Art and Principles of Design". I recommend everyone look them up - there are ~20 ideas that reference how we go about making something aesthetic.( Art - color, form, line, shape, space, texture, and value ; Design contrast, balance, emphasis, proportion, hierarchy, repetition, rhythm, pattern, white space, movement, variety, and unity )

3) Uh this is a bit more complicated than I can do in a single comment but maybe we can share discord names if you like the cut of my jib so far.

Perhaps it's the same reason that in the Yudkowsky vs Hotz podcast yesterday, Hotz didn't know what a gelding was despite being incredibly smart -- zero farm experience.
It's a bit silly to think that, for example, novels are inherently better than television (and in fact in the 19th century people complained about people wasting their time reading novels much as modern people complain about television and social media as time wasters), but in terms of nonfiction, books simply provide more depth than any other source, except perhaps academic papers.
As expected this dumb take shows up in every tailwind thread. Almost always by people that haven’t actually tried it.

I was skeptical at first too but after building several large and successful sites with tailwind I’ll now choose it every time. It’s the only CSS method I’ve tried that doesn’t turn into a hot mess at scale.

This attitude has become a pretty useful anti signal when considering who I want to work with though.
What you're talking about almost exists, it's called an inter partes review[0]. The problem is, the records are almost always debatable. The legal system affords scoundrels plenty of opportunities to file paperwork.

As it stands, IPR works enough that patent trolls are angry that it's too easy to get junk patents thrown out. But it still requires you to know in advance what to fight, to spend money on lawyers fighting it, and to delay actually using the invention you think isn't patented until the patent is actually thrown out. Some developer who independently invents loading screen mini-games probably isn't going to even know about the loading screen games patent until either legal tells them to remove the mini-game or they launch and get sued by Namco.

An example of this: do you remember VRML chatrooms? Worlds, Inc was one of them, and they got US8082501B2[1], a patent on having a character in a multiplayer virtual world. They sued Activision[2] over the span of nine years, while also hitting up other game developers for money, including Microsoft[3]. Microsoft actually tried filing an IPR case[4], but the courts acted first to invalidate the patent before the IPR could go through[5].

You're just noseblind because you also probably are a terrible driver. Maybe I'm wrong and you are the 1% of drivers who don't play on their phone, speed, and you come to an actual stop at stop signs, but I'm guessing you aren't.

You see motorists speeding, which kills tens of thousands of Americans every year and it doesn't register as bad. You see a cyslists roll a stop sign, which kills very few Americans a year, and it goes in the cyclist-hate bucket part of your brain. It's just plain ol bias.
Is it possible they had diplomatic passports?

Most spies are known to the host nations as they work out of the embassy under cover jobs with standard diplomatic passports, therefore they have diplomatic immunity if they run into trouble and the best the host country can do is permanently evict them.
I'm no assassin but wonder how someone could fail to kill someone with poison. Aren't there a million deadly choices out there that would do the job reliably? Is the FSB security apparatus this incompetent?
It's a real concern, but it is the best that is going to be provided. 2 million voters over the age of 55 die every year, 4 million voters turn 18. Conservatives can vote all they want, the electorate turnover and outcome is a combination of inertia (inflation reduction act has stoked an enormous amount of renewables manufacturing capacity coming online) and demographic destiny. Fossil fuels will die due to economics, it is just a matter of time horizon.

I want to stress that I strongly support a just transition (policy should express compassion and empathy at scale), and if people can't be found other jobs, retiring them out early to bridge the gap to other social safety nets (medicare, social security, etc), but there is no path to success for conservative ideology on the issue of leaving fossil fuels behind (either through votes or economics).

JSON APIs are typically more general. Here, you'll need different endpoints/handling for every flavor of HTML you may show that uses that same dataset.

If I have two babies, but murder one person, the net increase isn't really what folks will focus on. Environmental concerns with the beef industry are global because, as those import/export numbers show, it's a global industry. The Netherlands may be a good place to raise cattle water-wise, but unless you're gonna grow them all there, it doesn't really remove their impact elsewhere.
They use flood irrigation. How Efficient is Flood Irrigation? Flood irrigation is 50 to 60% water efficient, meaning 50 to 40% of water released in a flood irrigation system is lost either to runoff or rapid soil infiltration. Flood irrigation is the least water-efficient irrigation system.

And then you have to imagine that these places are hitting 110+ degrees recently, so they lose even more water.
I don't disagree with you: there is an issue with "we don't have enough water here".

But when we criticize a problem, it's important that we are very accurate in the size and scale of the issues. Over-stating the costs to consumers by ignoring other components of the price tag runs the risk that those who are on the other side of this issue will use your oversight as a defence. "Oh clearly you aren't being honest, as you're hiding this other fact".

What if the agri-business now publish a report that shows that in actuality, when you factor in infrastructure costs, they are actually paying more for water? (I doubt it, but it's entirely possible).

A good doctor should be considering how to get the best outcome for a patient, availability and affordability is paramount if you intend to get a patient to follow through with a treatment. No, it's not the doctors "job" to make sure you can get your medication, but I don't think it's hard to argue a doctor that takes these things into consideration is better than one that lives in a bubble.
But don't most children get smartphones from their parents? It's still legal for parents to give their children alcohol or tobacco if they want to. Minors just can't buy it (and in the case of alcohol possess it except when served it by their parents).

So imo those laws aren't intended to replace parenting. Its still up to parents to decide whether or not their minor children get access to alcohol and tobacco.
