Milk bags are better for the environment than cartons or jugs, even if you landfill the bags and recycle the cartons and jugs.

Bags have less plastic than jugs (thinner, softer) and cartons are difficult (eg. expensive and resource intensive) to recycle because the inner and outer layers of plastic are difficult to separate from the cardboard.

Really what happened is we checked whether we could set `isAdmin` to `true` on our existing accounts, and... we were able to. Adi's more technical writeup has details: https://saligrama.io/blog/post/firebase-insecure-by-default/
Summary of the loophole from the article (within the first three paragraphs).

once the Winfall jackpot reached $5 million – and no one had matched all six numbers to win – a "rolldown" would happen. That meant the money rolled down and was split between winners who matched just five, four or three numbers.

Jerry quickly calculated that if he spent $1,100 on 1,100 tickets, odds are he'd have one four-number winner that would pay out $1,000, and at least 18 or 19 three-number winners that paid $900. That meant his $1,100 investment would yield a $1,900 return, for a tidy profit of $800.

> If I recall correctly, California has a high amount of welcomed immigration. Would that not continue to balance increase the population even if people leave?

Only up to a point. Immigrants don't want to deal with prohibitively expensive housing any more than anyone else. They may settle in California initially, but a lot of immigrants end up moving to other states with more affordable housing once they get established.

They just keep raising it till the restaurant starts rising the prices, slow down for a bit and then start rising the rent again.

Other users have made good comments about performance limitations on the underlying filesystems themselves. Adding to this, I recently encountered the findlargedir tool, which aims to detect potentially problematic directories such as this: https://github.com/dkorunic/findlargedir/

>Findlargedir is a tool specifically written to help quickly identify "black hole" directories on an any filesystem having more than 100k entries in a single flat structure. When a directory has many entries (directories or files), getting directory listing gets slower and slower, impacting performance of all processes attempting to get a directory listing (for instance to delete some files and/or to find some specific files). Processes reading large directory inodes get frozen while doing so and end up in the uninterruptible sleep ("D" state) for longer and longer periods of time. Depending on the filesystem, this might start to become visible with 100k entries and starts being a very noticeable performance impact with 1M+ entries.

>Such directories mostly cannot shrink back even if content gets cleaned up due to the fact that most Linux and Un*x filesystems do not support directory inode shrinking (for instance very common ext3/ext4). This often happens with forgotten Web sessions directory (PHP sessions folder where GC interval was configured to several days), various cache folders (CMS compiled templates and caches), POSIX filesystem emulating object storage, etc.

You're totally right. The more accurate thing to say is "you could be convicted of residential burglary by walking through an open door if the prosecution could convince a jury you did so with the intent to commit a further crime".
3 devices? I usually have 4 devices. I bring my Iphone 13 Mini, iPad Mini, Macbook 12-inch and Steamdeck (and before the Switch). The iPad is for content consumption. I can watch 8 hours of TV on it without breaking a sweat about battery life. The laptop is to work and the phone is to communicate. Steamdeck is just for play.

I do try to buy the lightest and smallest version of every device. The steamdeck is honestly the most unwieldly device I carry around. Everything else fits without a problem in my messenger bag.

Today's auto mechanics are no longer the high-school drop-outs turning a wrench. They're mechanical engineering graduates. They typically know software and hardware.

This is also how you know we're at the end days for ICE vehicles. They're too complex and yet are only 25% as efficient as an EV vehicle. When people start getting the bill for today's vehicles they're going to consider an EV.

People all worried about a $10K battery replacement. Pffft! It doesn't take too many trips to the shop these days to hit that kind of money! Heck, I was recently watching on Engineering Explained where a brake job on a Porsche, now granted that's a higher-end car, but still, it was $2,500. For a brake job! I bought a 2003 Lexus LS430 a few years back (steal deal!) but one of the drawbacks is it's the V8 and changing the starter is $1,500 because they have to drop the engine.

I figure getting a new battery is akin to getting a new engine and $10,000 starts looking like it's really not a bad deal...
> How does the landlord know how much money the restaurant is making?

They don't. But when the local newspaper food reviewer gives you a glowing review and there's lines out the door waiting for a table when you have full covers for the night, and they happen to drive by /their/ building and see this, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you're doing well. The unfortunate reality of restaurant economics means you could have booming business and still making little or no excess profits though, depending on how adept you are at controlling other business costs, but since the landlord can't see your books they use these other indicators to decide to fuck with you instead.

There is neither a legal nor inherent natural requirement that a landlord choose a reasonable or accurate metric to decide to raise your rent. In fact, in most parts of the country (world?) raising your rent is an entirely arbitrary decision in their full discretion. You seem to be under the impression that the just world fallacy is a truth, when in fact it's not only untrue, most landlords are scum who will happily do as much financial harm as possible to you to the very edge of the limit for what it takes for you to go out of business. The landlord doesn't want you to go out of business or move, which is the only incentive tempering their greed at all.

Devil's advocate:

I get into your home by bypassing (poor) security. I take pictures and make copies of anything inside. Then I publicly announce the breach and demand that you fix your security based on a deadline I made up. Then I say "trust me, bro" when I promise to never reveal the data I stole.

Nobody would find any of that moral. The analogy breaks down because your home is not a place where sensitive data of lots of people is stored. But even then if you'd do the same thing in a physical place where this would be the case, you'd simply be arrested, if not (accidentally) shot.

I do agree that these security researchers are ultimately doing a good thing, but they should not be this naive and aggressive about it.
Western science is extremely useful in mechanical type of interventions such as emergency c-sections. It is well known that the intervention first approach is not the ideal, and we have been in a 50 year journey away from it. The term 'cascade of interventions' is extremely descriptive of this phenomenon, and I've seen it first hand. Yes, it's getting better now since the last 50 years, yes, it's great that science can come in with extremely precise machinery, and yes there is a tendency to over rely on the machinery by people in the field. I'm not a science denier or anything, just saying that doing more natural approaches to childbirth shouldn't be as vilified as it is now, given that we do have millenia of practice with that practice.

Social media removed the corrective elements of previous mechanisms. There's no longer a "trusted party" who helps you when you're in the wrong, there are "enemies" who "dunk on you."

The purpose of broadcasting isn't the same as conversation. People want the result of a positive interaction, but they do that by chasing hundreds of negative ones.

The negative interactions are actually better for the platform as they are (in some studies) almost 10x as effective at driving engagement. So the companies looking for "the most engaging" communities, drive more negative interactions.

The people looking for the most clicks, chase the "dunking" and "counter dunking" interactions, and it becomes at best 90% of the platform, at in reality like 99% of what you see while you're doom scrolling.

Social media is awful, and draws out our worst impulses as a business model.

I disagree with (a). Activities can be deemed ethical or unethical, and those norms are presumably reflected in our laws (as unauthorized hacking is). When they're not constrained by law (as certain publication and experimentation practices aren't), then they are constrained by social convention.

They don't need to collude explicitly. They just watch posted prices in their region and match that. Since the posted prices are always above average (you start higher than the old rent and keep lowering it until somebody takes it), rent keeps going up for everyone.

To me, humanoid robotics seems to be the 'flying cars' of our era.

They seem cool and futuristic at a glance, but upon close inspection, they are kinda not pragmatic at all, and there are simpler, cheaper solutions that will beat it in the market.

For example, we could build a humanoid butler robot to do chores around the house, or we could build a dishwashers + roombas + washing machine. These simple appliances do 90% of the work for 10% of the headache (including the consumer side headache of performing maintenance on a humanoid machine!).

It's certainly different, and everything comes with its benefits and drawbacks. Including working in an office and working at home.

Personally, I work better -- both in terms of work output and in terms of socializing with my teammates -- when working at home, because cube farms are almost designed to prevent effective work and interaction (although they are far more conducive to both of those things than open office layouts!) At home, I'm more effective and in a better mood so I more easily socialize with my coworkers. Other people can be very different, of course, including the exact opposite of me.

I think a lot of this also depends on what level you're looking at it from and what size of a company you're talking about.

For instance, whether working from home or working in an office, you interact heavily with your teammates and are certainly not a faceless "somebody somewhere". If you're at home, though, you probably are to higher levels of management. Whether or not that's a problem for you (the lower-level employee) depends in large part on what sort of career path you are trying to chart. For my own path, it makes no difference because I'm not aiming for promotions or the like -- I took the job I have because that's the job I wanted.

Small companies tend to be more social/cozy in general. WFH may adversely impact that. It might not, though. I've worked at several small companies over the decades where nobody was ever in the same room, but the socialization with each other was still very high.

Large companies are a different beast entirely. In the office or not, you are a faceless cog in the machine to everyone except those you directly work with and directly report to. It's hard to see how it could be any other way, given the scales involved.
Does it not? Given their current profits, we would expect 25b in rolling year profits. Their market cap is 1.2t. Apple, with about 80b in rolling year, has a market cap of 2.8t

Given the kind of revenue and profit growth forecast NVDA has given, these numbers don't seem terribly far off.

Worth noting that NVDA's profits 8xed in a single year. A lot of people are basing their NVDA valuation based on the past year's revenue, which does make them look extremely overvalued. However, if NVDA has enough sales and enough of a moat to double their profits again, suddenly they'll be biting at Apple's heels profit wise with a much lower valuation.

It doesn't seem like a totally crazy valuation to me, despite the uncertainties involved.
So then you’d concede that all that’s left is these Fizzbuzz people are liars and are bad people, and that their product is crap and should not be used, and you don’t need to have personally used the app nor met them personally to know any of that, since it’s all clear from their extremely obnoxious, self destructive conduct, and that that’s just an opinion and not a forecast on whether or not their useless investors will get a return?

Valve is still a corporation with a single majority shareholder.

And I can't imagine a restaurant could work the same way as Valve. In a restaurant, you have to feed people day in day out. You can't deliver a Michelin-quality meal when the inspiration hits you and nothing when it doesn't.

Valve also seems to have a strangely forgiving customer base. I don't think I've ever seen anyone complain about micro-transactions in their games, whereas other publishers seem to get a lot of hate for it. (Then again, ever since I stopped playing games, I've began to notice that each publisher had their own unique method of fleecing their customer base, so it may be that Valve got the players that tolerate micro-transactions, whereas others would have the ones who tolerate endless DLCs.)
You're the reason I wrote "split _almost_ perfectly".

That said, looks like your history involves .NET -> Python/.NET. I went .NET -> PHP -> Ruby/Elixir/Go. It took me some time to withdraw from .NET before I started preferring not to have an IDE. If you're still split half/half between two worlds, I can understand why you're still hooked.
This is one of those cases, like "Zero Trust Networking" where you can't derive the meaning of a term axiomatically from the individual words.
