Note that Peru has a high prevalence of parasitic pathogens that would be eliminated by a course of ivermectin. I’m still convinced based on meta analysis that ivermectin reduces parasitic comorbitities and has middling impact on COVID itself.
And you know what is meant by "enshittification" in the context being used, you just don't agree with the usage.

Let's not pretend this word has decades of deep cultural and etymological history behind it. It's not a technical term or a term of art, it's a meme. It's something Cory Doctorow came up with in a blog post last year that only a few tech people care about. It's a hipster nerd poop joke.

And because it fits cleanly into a description of anything hipster nerds consider to be "turning into shit," it inevitably will, until people get tired of the meme and move on.
This feels scammy and low quality. Compare this site with something like https://cursor.so that targets a similar idea.
I don't accept your premise, the idea that Democracy is particularly good or special isn't so obvious to me, but it's such a contentious discussion given that the US has armed itself to the teeth with the concept that it is democratic propagandistically that I can't belabor it.

Largely, I would caution you to regain the wisdom of the West's greatest forebears and arm yourself with the knowledge that you don't actually know very much at all.
Yeah climate change was really bad back then
I'm super sceptical of these types of approaches, to the point that I often question some of the weird financial incentives that can cause money to be put into stuff like this in the first place.

Simple physics says that gravity is actually a pretty poor energy storage mechanism (see other fanciful ideas about stacking heavy blocks). Pumped water storage is about the only form that actually makes sense from a cost/energy storage perspective because (a) in nearly all those cases the reservoirs already exist, and (b) you're pumping a lot more than a couple Olympic-swimming pools worth of water. And even then the costs can be giant - LA was looking into a $3 billion project to use pumped storage behind the Hoover Dam a few years ago, not sure what happened with that.

There is just so much "green washing" going on these days, I think it's more important to focus on things we know will work, or improvements to ideas that already work.

You’ve given me something to think about and I think you’re right, there is an element of time missing. In fact there is a few parallel time elements missing from this too

For example, when we are shooting there is a rough formula for how long of a day we need to get those scenes. Usually it’s 1 hour per 1 page scene plus an extra 30 mins added on for each character in the scene. But that doesn’t translate to the final product as that information tells us nothing about how long or important a scene should be in the final product.

But it’s also possible I’m getting too ahead of myself here and maybe there’s another object that is created that includes the scene, production and final product objects instead of jamming it all into this object.

Open to anything suggestions you may have.
Nearly all the innovation in general aviation, particularly regarding situational awareness and safety, is happening in the Experimental category. Moving maps, synthetic vision/terrain alerts, ADS-B in and out, engine monitoring, airspeed-aware electronic trim control, fuel injection, electronic ignition, FADEC systems... yes, all are available on newer certificated planes for $,$$$,$$$, but much more affordable and accessible in the Experimental world. And, the builder/owner can install and configure everything himself. Garmin's latest G3X update includes the ability to use rudimentary set/clear logic signals to do if-this-and-that type CAS alerts, and configure your gauges to behave differently during different phases of flight. All owner-configurable.
There’s definitely valid research on higher perfect pitch apprehension in Chinese speakers ( relative to linguistic tonalities ).
> 2-Ethylhexanol smells even worse, it's really rough. If you get one drop on your foot, you're going to want to leave your shoes outside when you get home.

I find it really fascinating the differences in subjective experience of various smells. Personally I find 2-EH to be sweet, almost sickly sweet but not overpowering, floral and vaguely fruity. It's not directly nice, like vanillin, but it's not bad, like pyridine or butyric acid.
in the long and interesting book "The Taking of Getty Oil" and partly in a second book "History of International Corporations in the 20th Century" (title?) they specifically talk about a post-colonial approach to oil contracts, specifically the formation of Aaramco (sp?) the National Oil of Saudi Arabia.. the US and the US Intelligence Agencies exactly and specifically created agreements with local rulers to avoid the British methods from a century earlier. This is not to say that the same US Intelligence supported local democracy, or the established rulers, without conditions -- instead the perception of the agreement, and the levers of control, and where the money went in what proportions, where changed knowingly.

FTA it’s a little more nuanced than that. People are listening to white noise podcasts when regular white noise is available at a cheaper licensing cost.

It feels like a UI challenge as much as anything else, I can’t imagine many users specifically want a podcast. Part of me feels like Spotify deserves it though, they’ve been trying to shove podcasts into users ears for ages now and I don’t want them. Turns out if you shove podcasts in front of people they’ll choose them. Price they pay.
The statistics "per mile" have been out for a long time. At least for Waymo they are extremely good. What difference does it make that any specific car drives around 24x7?

Quick look up of current numbers - without double checking whether it's over the life of the program, or just the latest year, or what:

Waymo one crash per 1.26 million miles

American humans overall one per 484,000 miles or 552,983 miles depending on the yr or something.

Younger drivers, something like 3 times the average.

And that's when Waymo reports automatically while many human collisions don't need reporting.

> Autonomous cars improve more slowly than humans do

They can get buggy software updates and maps but otherwise I'll bet on the software.
Unsurprisingly, that's not what the headline suggests.

And, as it turns out, they measured something else indeed. They measured recall of a visual scene after guiding subjects in different ways. English speakers were guided with e.g. clock and clown or clock and mirror. The first pair have some overlap, so (as theory suggests) subjects start looking at both. The second pair has no overlap, so the word clock doesn't make the subject scan for the mirror. Then they tested recall on these pictures. There are differences between people with different language proficiency, but they are small.

So it doesn't show that speakers of different languages remember visual scenes differently, but rather that people only recognize objects from partially heard words quickly in the language(s) they're proficient in.

I wish they'd stop clickbaiting for this kind of technical studies.
People aren't paying Spotify for white noise. They're just using it for white noise because it's convenient and they already have it.

This is frankly very very obvious.
> Big monolithic apps have large codebases that slow down development velocity. They’re slower to compile, harder to test, and full of dark corners where bugs can lurk and multiply. A bad change to one part of a codebase can cause headaches for an entire building’s worth of developers, tanking productivity for hours or days.

This has NOTHING to do with monoliths. If you cannot architect a monolith, you’re going to have a hell of a time with micro services. This just comes down to being an awful software engineer.

Tbh, if artists expected this then they should have written it into the NFT itself. It would be difficult, potentially, due to the sales themselves occurring in different currencies, but if everything is eth based, it’s as simple as adding a line to the transfer function.

https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc... the standard itself only specifies the interface the token has to conform to, not any side effects of the transaction. This is why some individuals get dropped NFTs in their wallets that will transfer all tokens of the target to the attacker on sale. So yeah… thats also a thing if you didn’t know.
Yeah I bet there’s something deeply different about the collective psychological impact of being trapped because of an ostensible bad decision (the wrong major) vs simply having no options regardless of what major you choose. When I talk to my debt-shackled American friends there’s some acknowledgment of studying the wrong thing, even knowing that as kids we’re not equipped to make a smart decision, as you say. In China it seems a lot more bleak, like whatever you study you’ll likely end up unable to use it.

Also, in the US there isn’t pressure to do factory work specifically if you can’t get a job. That’s a particularly rough job, especially if you were pursuing white collar work, but it’s where the ccp is pushing folks.

Hmm. Do you have any more info about 2020? This is an interesting theory. I note a few things though

1. The number of fires is trending down, but

2. The area burned is trending up

3. The number of fires in 2020 wasn’t noticeably different. Down but on trend. But area burned was very low

Idly I wonder if some of the worst fires are started by humans through carelessness or on purpose, and this number of fires was down in 2020? Could also be a coincidence. Some years in the past had a very low area burned with a normal number of fires.
I work in energy storage. This is not totally wrong, its just omitting the duration. 100MW only describes the rate at which the battery can discharge. The duration would be expressed in MWhours (mwh) so a 100MW/200MWh system would be able to discharge its full tank in 2 hours. You need to know the MWh to know how physically large the system is.

> the US has armed itself to the teeth with the concept that it is democratic

Pure democracy turns into majoritarian, partisan anarchy. We’ve known this since Athens. But it’s forgotten by modern Americans, for whom more democracy is seen as good for its own sake, and that leads to foreign policy mistakes by our elites.

That said: countries with democratic elements have clear advantages in economic development, scientific output and tendency towards peace (as well as effective warmaking). We should want more democracy, for moral and self-interested reasons. But your narrow point, that simply promoting more democracy everywhere, all the time is counterproductive, is accurate.

Linus Torvalds doesn't feel like being the guinea pig by risking ZFS in the mainline kernel. A totally reasonable position while the CDDL+GPL resolution is still ultimately unknown. (And honestly, with OpenZFS supporting a very wide range of Linux versions and FreeBSD at the same time, I have the feeling that mainline inclusion in Linux might not be the best outcome anyway.)
Well I’d certainly love working in whatever industry you’re in because myself, the myriad of executives I’ve recruited and coached, and my own peer network have the completely opposite experience. Getting a coach indicates that you’re not getting that feedback in your existing organization and you have to outsource it.

> The number of fires over the past 4 decades is trending down. The numbers for area burned looks like each time there's a peak, it burns out enough fuel to make subsequent years easier. There were a couple of peaks in 1980s/1990s, but nothing that big recently.

I think this is a misleading interpretation of two (pretty vague) statistics.

How have the mitigation strategies for fire changed over the last 30 years? The area burnt may not increase but the fires may be more fierce/more difficult to control, and the lack of change in these stats may be because of control techniques being different. The same can apply for the amount of preparatory work being done (/money spent) before fire season.

It's insane to me that virtual effects and backgrounds are a feature integrated into video conferencing to begin with. Why couple these things instead of having them live as a separate application that exposes a virtual camera to any software that needs it. This way you're choosing video conferencing software based on how good it is at being video conferencing, and camera effects software based on how good it is at doing camera effects (if you even want them).

Thanks. I didn't know that it was a general thing and had a name. Fascinating.
A mistake I've made a few times is thinking let's separate code and data, that sounds great. But then I realize I need to do some pretty complex stuff in the data, and I'm faced with the choice of building some hacky monstrosity, or a DSL, or just going back to the main code.

The basic tutorial examples of SwiftUI look like something you could easily do in XML, but doing it in real code makes it so much more powerful, and ultimately simpler for everyone.
Which is kind of shitty because (also AFAIK) you end up hurting the publishers who run those ads way more than the advertisers who place them or the ad platforms who facilitate buying and selling the ads... I'm pretty sure a lot of ad platforms will ask for their money back if they find out the publishers are serving ads that don't get seen by human eyes.
Spotify has been doing everything in its power to make sure it never becomes a monopoly; it regularly infuriates and sends users running for YouTube, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Google Music, Tidal, Sirius (dare I say; their successfully competing competitors)

Agreed, but again it obv depends on the situation - and as this is a made up scenario, this might look very different for real companies.

My experience was also very similar to the GP’s, and I’ve gone through it twice, at two different sleep clinics. I definitely don’t have routine follow-ups and the one (singular) follow-up I had was useless.

Qnap does recommend a full backup before doing so, which tells me it's not exactly production ready as you and I would think of it.
That's not true, there are cars that can break noise regulations stock, even mass production models: https://www.thedrive.com/news/stock-hyundai-elantra-n-fails-...

The key difference is even loud factory exhaust setups leave room for relatively quiet operation depending on how you drive.

That Elantra driver was an idiot: he went in a town and drove in sport mode and drove in a way that forces extra loud pops

If he hadn't been forcing it the car was perfectly capable of not making excessive noise.

—

The $100 bozo special on the other hand has none of that: it's always loud and obnoxious.

In fact it gets more obnoxious at cruising RPM because of drone.

There are aftermarket exhausts that try to match the factory-style "not loud by default", but they're expensive because it takes careful engineering and integrating things like valves and Helmholtz resonators.

Relative to anarchy, sure. The problem with this construction is it deterministically leads to anarchy, from time to time, which is miserable not only for the people involved but also for all of their neighbours. The point of peaceful transitions of power is avoiding that interregnal anarchy.
Hey there - author of article here. Took this from another comment I wrote:

The problem for them was mainly that the agency running their ad account counted "demo requests" as their top metric and mistakingly counted all demo requests that came in as attributed to the marketing spend. So they reported on faulty numbers during the entire year. Hubspot showed that direct ads actually didn't work at all (mainly because they didn't really have PMF yet). Needless to say, that agency got fired pretty quickly.

Interesting aside about Germany from that time, but the word “Iran” is a reference to a people called Aryans that lived there, and the latter remains a not-uncommon name there. As a Westerner I found this a bit confusing since I don’t associate Iran with the kind of people over here that would use the term Aryan
