There's another kind of 'no' - when the programmers and engineers and other technically expert workers are nearly universally against something, but the CEO- and lawyer-classes are for it. Like software patents.

Edit: Sources for the patent claim: That same afternoon, we talked to a half dozen different software engineers. All of them hated the patent system, and half of them had patents in their names that they felt shouldn't have been granted. In polls, as many as 80 percent of software engineers say the patent system actually hinders innovation. It doesn't encourage them to come up with new ideas and create new products. It actually gets in their way. - https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2011/07/26/138576167/when...

When the market wants nothing to do with offering the product, there can be no free market competition. Not that most insurance is operating in anything remotely close to a free market to begin with.
Natural disasters are especially problematic, because while burglaries and house fires are nicely distributed across time, when the earthquake or hurricane comes, every policy holder in a region makes a claim at the same time.

On the one hand there is 100% validity to what you say. On the other, people download entire trees of dependencies from pypi, npm, homebrew, independent non sandboxed apps, chrome extensions, etc.

So don’t lull yourself into thinking the supply chain on everything on your system is any better :) It’s likely substantially worse.

This is my experience with the Glove80 and the Maltron. I don't have any reason to use the function keys, but I found the number keys needed an awkward prod. Consciously keeping my palm on the rests mitigated the problem to some degree, but I find that an unnatural position, possibly because I am a pianist and keep my wrists a bit higher. Stepped rather than bowled keyboards might help, but I prefer a flat keyboard, or one that is tilted slightly away from me. This is not to say that other people will not like the Glove80, and it is certainly well made.

On an individual level: So what? I stopped giving a f. I'd rather do what I believe is right than earn another $100k a year at a certain point. If it gets to the point of being laid off, hey, maybe it's the nudge you needed to find a better place anyway. Meanwhile, you could play the game all you want and still have your entire business unit shuffled away next year.

Consider that the market is no longer the 90%. Since real wages have not risen much since ~1980 [1], most of the consumers have no response when rates suddenly increase. Houses are simply not purchasable.

Case study: Vancouver, BC, Canada (I looked in May 2023). House prices: ~$1.1M. Loan rate: ~5%. Month payment: $5900. Yearly: $71k. Avg Salary: 60k (before tax). Result: No normal worker can afford the loan, and the bank won't give you the loan.

When interest rates sharply rise, suddenly all loans to normal humans based on existing prices look like failure, because there is no way to make the payments. "I'll give you a loan, so you can miss payments every month, owe me more every year, and then default. No." if( money_earned < monthly_payment) then { no_loan }

Also, wealthy need somewhere to park their money. A bunch of really wealth folks made a bunch of enormous profits last year. [2] Frankly, if you're in the $10^9 club, there's not much to buy. Personal air craft carrier? Your own airforce? Build your own town? [3] Reconstruct all of Iraq? [4]

I think trust is a strict synonym of faith, capacity to verify or no. Trust means to believe someone's claims, without certain 100% demonstrative proof. It ceases to be trust when you verify the claims yourself, but the capacity to verify makes no difference to what it is.

Not that trust is bad or anything. I remember hearing from someone that it used to be safe to keep house doors open, because people trusted each other, and that it's safe for a 6 year old girl to travel by train alone in some places. Can't help but feel we have lost something.
I'm always extremely leery any time those come out because the network is down.

Well then they have that option in addition to state healthcare, so what on earth are you talking about?
I would have assumed the win here would be that your Linux distribution or package manager on another OS can compile "VSCodium" themselves -- and you already trust them for all your other software, so this simplifies the trust chain somewhat.

In reality I think distributions that are willing to ship binaries (NixOS, Homebrew on MacOS) ship VSCodium, and other distributions (Alpine) have packages called things like `code-oss` that are basically the distribution's internal compiled version of VSCode and have nothing (?) to do with VSCodium.

Social interaction plays a major role in language development. If you take away the reinforcement of everyone being really excited when the baby goes "da-da" instead of "gur-gur" you would lose the learning. It's also much more difficult for blind babies to learn to speak because they can't see the mouth shapes being made by their parents which is a deliberate training exercise.

> You'll notice, no one goes to the net anymore.

Except the current world number one, Alcaraz, who goes to the net a huge lot, including when he's returning serves (!). Or the future number one, Djokovic (guaranteed to be number one again by the 11th of September): in the Cincinatti final vs Alcaraz, Djokovic even saved a matchpoint by doing a serve and volley. Followed, the very next ball, by another serve and volley from Djokovic.

I mean: I see plenty of volleying from the two best players of the moment.
Research is controlled by separate IRBs, not the ABIM.

In regards to "tackling it in another way", more than market efficiency goes into play of how expensive something is. Lots of people can build houses, that doesn't mean houses are now $10 it means houses aren't 500,000,000 dollars because one guy can build them and wants to make 1,000x margin each time. I'm not sure what programmers or software has to do with it, billions are spent on that as well it's not just free. FWIW I come from a healthcare background, not a software one.
fully agree, especially with the second paragraph. even as a developer, i want a simple DSL that lets me declare things and not twist the data structures into code. and especially as a programmer, if code is needed for more complex structures, i want that to be done in a real programming language.

so i am favoring the two products approach, or maybe a language with a well designed syntax for data, where the relationship between the two is like that of JSON and javascript.

> It is a shame Adobe designed a format so hard to work with

PDF was not designed to be editable, nor for anyone to "work with" it in that way.

It was designed (at least the original purpose circa 1989) to represent printed pages electronically in a format that would view and print identically everywhere. In fact, the initial advertising for the "value" of the PDF format was exactly this, no matter where a recipient viewed your PDF output, it would look, and print, identically to everywhere else.

It was originally meant to be "electronic paper".

you enjoy that freedom due to low unemployment, and stable(ish) economy currently.

Unfortunately the fundamentals of the economy are not sound right now, and very likely we will start seeing companies fold, and unemployment numbers go up.

He lived in a small town in Oregon with his first wife. While they weren’t paid a lot, life wasn’t expensive either. I think he would have stayed except the marriage didn’t work out.

As long as we're golfing: In PowerShell, using my personal script library:

F:films> ls -rec -file | gec video | gvi | ndur
372:18:09

where:

- `ls -rec -file` gets all files recursively under CWD (F:films)

- `gec video` selects video files via extension (gec -> Get-ExtensionCategory)

- `gvi` uses FFPROBE to get video info in custom object (gvi -> Get-VideoInfo)

- `ndur` sums Duration property of objects and converts seconds to 'hhh:mm:ss'

Most people I've shown this have found the syntax and aliases confusing and non-intuitive. They prefer the find/xargs/awk incantations, which, I'm told, are more elegant, correct and precise. After that, I'm usually speechless.

Hadley cells determine wind patterns but not the energy content of the wind, to any appreciable degree, which comes from solar flux.

Wind energy is solar energy once removed.

Wave energy is solar energy twice removed (solar -> wind -> waves).

And, it's silver! Alas, it's not meant to be, it seems :'(

> Instead the model decides to make stuff up and pretend that it knows. That's vastly worse.

Does the model know it doesn’t know though? Does “know” even make sense as a concept here? I don’t know if it can really introspect like that, but of course it would be so much better if it could can have some sort of confidence score with each answer.
> Like software patents.

Yeah that's the real goal. You can make it impossible for big corporations to use this technology because it paints a huge target on them while ignoring the de facto state of open source models that are impossible to enforce regulation against. Best of both worlds maybe.

No, wind is ultimately fed by solar energy and is driven by differential heating of Earth's atmosphere and surface.

That is, there's a constant incoming energy flux. That's not to say that there isn't some maximum amount of available wind energy, or some maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from wind without causing other effects (even excepting, say, bird strikes and the like).

But wind isn't "used up", there will be more wind tomorrow, so long as the sun shines and there's an atmosphere.
I know a few engineers who are quite proud of their software patents. And many more who seem ambivalent, but are happy to file them if they get a bonus out of it. So, I don't think it's as clear-cut as you think it is.

It actually kind of makes sense.

RAM is only about 6x the speed of SSD’s for sequential access. Most people don’t actually need truly random access to all that much data rather than streaming video or loading video game assets to their GPU. So they shift spending to other components like video card, monitors, etc that actually provide significant value.

Which is how you get people with 16 GB of system RAM using graphics cards that also have 16GB of RAM.
Ok I'll stop responding defensively.

It's tough to say what the effect is. The science has been corrupted by political interests instead of an actual scientific discovery. The overblown histrionic predictions of doom from the activists/climate change believers does not help to give credibility of any effects that climate change may actually be having.

Back in the 70s and 80s they were predicting an ice age by the early 2000's. That of course extreme scenario also did not occur. Once I started to understand what was happening to scientific research, the special interests, corporate and political interests on both sides of this equation an extreme view on either side naturally sets off my internal BS meter.

I currently carry a GETS card in my wallet, along with a second WPS-enabled iPhone. My agency instructs us to place a test call to the GETS/WPS "Familiarization Line" on a monthly basis to ensure we are able to connect successfully (and I suppose to also become comfortable with the process should we ever need to use it in a true disaster).

As the article mentions, we also have the app pushed out to all of our phones that can place outgoing calls with prioritization, but it only automatically keys in your PIN and the number you wish to reach after calling the dial access number. It's more of a convenience feature for those not wanting to manually enter the long string of digits for GETS. The app offers three modes to dial out: WPS, GETS, WPS+GETS. I always thought the WPS+GETS method seemed redundant, but I'm glad the author made the distinction on why stacking both methods makes sense.

> There may be a business opportunity for startup insurers with better risk models than the insurers that are leaving the area.

Insurance is one of the most regulated areas in business, and for good reasons - too many cases of shady or undercapitalized companies going belly-up and leaving the customers stranded, or being outright scams. Besides, even the largest insurance companies don't shoulder all the risk themselves - no company can survive getting hit by a few "century events" in too short order, so they purchase reinsurance, and even if your risk model may be "better", your reinsurance rates will still be based on the classic risk model.

In any case I seriously doubt it that any startup could be a threat to the established giants of the insurance world with hundreds of years of experience in drawing up risk tables - Lloyd’s of London dates back to the 17th century [1] for a reason.
