> They later in the paragraph use the word manipulation to make this appear as some conspiracy I should care about

What phrasing do you think they should have used instead? In my mind, this is very clear manipiulation. Obviously, it's not the most important thing in the world, and many people who are serious about movies have disregarded rotten tomatoes for a while now.

I do think their writing was sloppy, though. Ex:

> Vulture article: In another break from standard practice, several critics say, Bunker 15 pays them $50 or more for each review.

> Screengeek summary: The PR firm, named Bunker 15, is said to pay as much as $50.00 for a single Rotten Tomatoes review.

So, I agree its low quality journalism, but not because they had a factual hook in the first paragraph.
What was the original title?

Paper itself has:

>In China, the tale of the legendary Great Yu’s heroic taming of floods and the subsequent founding of the Xia Dynasty continues to dominate mainstream scholarly narrative on the formation of China’s first state

There must be pressure on academics to hew to a "we are an ancient civilization" narrative.

Note that the shortage now is different than the past few years: it is not in fabricating any of the primary chips, it is entirely attributed to insufficient capacity in TSMC’s CoWoS packaging. This is only used for the highest-end accelerator products that use HBM (and a few other things that use full silicon interposers like Apple’s M-Ultras), they are scaling capacity, and there are increasing numbers of alternatives from other packaging vendors that chip designers could use if they had known TSMC’s packaging would be a bottleneck. Demand spiked a lot all of a sudden, and it just takes time to build factories – there are no obvious constraints.
California has a rampant, unmanaged homeless problem largely caused by mental illness, addiction and economics and they are choosing to legalize more drugs which will increase access, and yes, while psychedelics are known to help some, they are also known to cause psychosis and exacerbate mental health issues in others especially when combined with other drugs. Seems like a questionable choice.
Just in case you don't know this, I'm fairly sure that "japs" is considered an offensive term.
Fair point, but we'll see. A lot of folks will get away with it, but some folks will hose it up (like the lawyer, who may end up getting disbarred, I think).
> You are meant to press Ctrl with your right hand when you press C-x.

Nothing's stopping you from doing it that way, but since Steele and Moon started writing EMACS in 1976 on the PDP-6 and the PDP-10 and probably used VT52 terminals to access those systems, you're probably expected to have a control key on the home row to the left of the caps lock. The VT52 does not have a control key on the right side of the keyboard. I've found that Emacs's ergonomics are greatly improved by swapping the caps lock and left control keys on modern, IBM Model M-inspired keyboard layouts.

The state of the peacetime supply chain hardly matters. In a major conflict it should be expected that western democracies revert to the centrally planned economic system they used to win the second world war.
Probably CO2, as it's the main gas in the atmosphere there.

The wikipedia page on the mission has more information, including that they managed to get up to 99.6% purity. That later number makes the resulting atmosphere not toxic anymore (assuming the impurity is CO2). But it still doesn't specify the impurity.

What's the warrant supposed to do? If you don't want to talk to police, don't. If they have arrested you on probable cause, their having a warrant is the least of your concern.
You're being downvoted not because fights broke out at a parade but because you think such an event apparently justifies arbitrary levels of policing where the cops still don't actually do anything in the realm of preventing the harm rather than just cleaning it up. I've been in crowds where this kind of stuff happens, although to be fair never with a gun so maybe it's different, but the random people in the crowd jump into breaking up the fight way faster than the cops.

My city, which is not exemplary by any means, after a fuckton of political backlash about the "policing" that happens at protests and parades switched to having a small group of unarmed cops specially trained in deescalation (which is mostly marketing but eh, sure) and comprised of almost entirely minorities, women, and older folks. They're not at all shy about this unit being visibly nonthreatening and they just walk with the people, sometimes joining them. We haven't had any "riots" ever since. It's allllllmost like the police had been instigating them, funny that.
You're being unnecessarily defensive. My comment was neither a criticism nor attempt to refute your point of view.

It seems like you and I mostly agree. I mean nothing patronizing when I ask: do you know what inalienable means? It's a great word. I believe the right to do drugs is inalienable: a government does not have the moral authority to tell you not to if that's what you want to do. A law that forbids it is illegitimate. Illegal, even.

> Who said unconstrained

Me. I did. Believe it or not, my perspective was once even far more... radically laissez-faire, so to speak: stick to the principles of each according to their conscience and let the chips fall where they may. Anything less is an unconscionable and illegitimate encroachment on personal freedom. Society would adjust.

From the article's first paragraph:

Over 1,300 people died from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by portable generators between 2004 and 2021 alone. [1] Another 77,000 people were hurt in that same period. Worse yet, a quarter of all fatal incidents associated with portable generators involve multiple deaths at once, some involving entire families.[2]

Now let's run those numbers:

(2021-2004)*1000000000/(1300+77000) = 217,114

For this US rule to save $1B/yr then each incident must cost $217,114 for deaths and related injuries. I'm not buying it.

Obviously this rule is a Good Thing - I'm not disputing that and I'm not disputing it should be adopted. I'm disputing this yellow journalism claim that adopting it is going to save us $1 billion per year. Even with the hight cost of medical care in the US it's easy to see this isn't the case.

They said the lack of evidence of social stratification in the burial sites and house sizes contrasted with other sites near by. Plus remember this is the headline a news site chose not the scientists.

It's very plausible journalists (including university PR teams) care more about social elitism than the archaeologists which is why it's the HN headline. The archaeologist is just using the only evidence they have which is some pipes, a cemetery, and few remaining structures to extrapolate about the community.

Nah. Joining NSO or such displays a moral "flexibility" and/or a lack of judgement that pretty much precludes the individual from taking on significant responsibility.

> it's *extremely* common for PIs to pawn review duties off on grad students

Unless the reviews are submitted in the grad students' names, that sounds like academic misconduct. Can you “anonymously” report this without too much backlash? (I assume the answer is no: you clearly know it's wrong, and haven't done anything about it yet.)

> This is the thin veil that everyone hides behind

There are many places in society where we do this. The thin veil of politeness, lies that everyone knows are lies – like asking "How are you?" without actually caring how the other person is, and answering "Quite well, thank you." when you're neither okay nor thankful.

It makes no sense, but people would behave worse without the illusion. I know not whether the benefits of transparency would outweigh that.

This works (and works well enough) because the atmosphere on Mars is 95% CO2.

On Earth, CO2 concentration is around 425 ppm (parts per million). On Mars, it is ~953,200 ppm!

If we had the same CO2 concentration on Earth, atmospheric carbon dioxide scrubbers and CO2 sequestration solutions would be many orders of magnitude more efficient (and therefore more feasible - enough to actually clean up the mess we’ve made of things, even). But we’d all be dead.
That's crazy they sell apparently decent 11x11 cubes these days.

I remember back when I was getting into cubing, late 07-early 08 and you could only get up to 5x5 cubes. Vcube had a website up for what seemed like forever (I was 10 so it may not be as long as my memory tells me) showing that they were going to be selling 6x6 and 7x7 cubes, and at some point it started feeling like vaporware and I thought maybe the site was just a viral stunt. But eventually they came out and I bought a 7x7 which I still have, and I thought it was so cool. It's still the biggest cube I have but it's not great to use because it was before a lot of modern cube tech advancements.

I'm not super hardcore into cubes, every few years I look online into what the zeitgeist is saying to find the best new 3x3 speedcube and buy one to keep on my desk and do E-perms while reading or watching videos. And a couple years ago I bought a decent 5x5 (looking at the email receipt, it's - YJ MGC Magnetic 5x5 - Stickerless) and I've had a lot of fun playing with that sometimes while listening to podcasts. Though it is prone to pieces popping if I'm not careful with my turns

The problem is, at the core, that this sort of behavior used to be the norm in the industry. Working with embedded systems is pure and utter hell. The open documentation and standardized interfaces one got with Intel/AMD is the complete exception.
I think the case for "weapons mean war" or even "walls mean war" (weaker, walls can be built for privacy or defense against theft, but larger ones make a good case) is a lot stronger than the case for "infrastructure implies central authority". Some complex projects can and do get done in unstratified social contexts, and /tons/ of them get done with leadership/authority that only exists within the context of the project itself (and doesn't necessitate being in charge of other things or having more social status in unrelated contexts), which could have been the case for this site

Mozilla has been frustrating, at least to me lately. I want to support them, but very little of the money given to them goes to the browser itself or even their research projects, and the "phoning home" aspect also annoys me. On top of that they are also heavily funded by Google. My personal theory on why they do that is so they don't get hit with an antitrust. Its concerning to me though because that means Google has influence in Firefox, so "using the alternative" still means being affected by Google's decision making. They have stood against some of Google's decisions like their web DRM, which is great! But I do wonder if any lower-profile changes might have been pushed through on Google's request.

The point is that if you have 50 k8s pods that each have their individual connection pool, some of them will be holding idle connections while others are hitting their max connection limit. A single pool is much more flexible.

Additionally, the "transaction" mode of PgBouncer can increase the utilization of connections further by making them available to a different application when one application holds a connection while doing something different (e.g. waiting for a call to an external service).
I think maybe the problem with academics is that the fundamental paradigm we use to think about scientific contributions is broken. That is, the genius myth, the idea of the lone contributor with the eureka moment that hasn't occurred to anyone else, and so forth and so on. So to stand out, you have to start grasping at all these secondary indicators of skill or contribution or whatever, which leads to everyone doing it, which leads to this runaway process. If you have a bunch of people who don't differ that much, but are incentivized to look like they do, what do you think is going to happen?

It's like Goodheart's law applied to an entire swath of indicators for an entire sector of society.

It's interesting but I think Goodheart's law sort of implies that the metric being gamed is being gamed because there isn't an alternative? Sometimes that might be because what's trying to be measured is difficult to measure, but one possibility is that it's difficult to measure because it doesn't really exist as it's assumed to be.

I'm not trying to say academics are idiots or something like that, if anything the opposite. People in general are just a lot smarter than — or at least don't differ as much — our current dominant schema for scientific contributions recognize.

The Apple throttling thing was specifically to extend the life of the device. When a battery is old, if the CPU is not throttled, the device will instantly power off when the draw is too high.

Apple was throttling the CPU when the battery was old and could not sustain such power draw peaks in an effort to make the device remain usable for a longer period with a mostly-consumed battery pack. Had they not done so, the device would be unusable sooner.

To assert that it is to make you buy new hardware is a factual error.

This might be the best explanation I have seen of the benefits and pitfalls of deploying pgbouncer ( or any connection pooler as they are all similar ). The only thing I would add is from a deployment perspective, you should run two layers of pgbouncer. One that runs on the same host as your application ( sidecar container in k8s ), and one global layer that all connections to your DB must pass through. Every large scale application generally gets to this kind of architecture for various reasons, and it helps to just start with it. Some people will argue that connection pooling at the application layer is good enough to replace the sidecar proxy, but from my experience management is simplified by having the pooling done via the sidecar.
The "if I'm not doing it, someone else will do it, so it will be done anyway." Is a justification i've seen used by columbian kidnapper gangs so it seems to be the ultimate coping mechanism and is very effective regardless of whether you're right or wrong on a rational level.

Personal survival does come first. And removing oneself from a sense of responsibility via "someone else will do it" can be effective. But it's typically not actually true, tbh.

The sci-fi book practically writes itself. A wealthy entrepreneur puts an asteroid in motion to move mars and sets up a long term foundation to keep it operational for the next 40,000 years. In conjunction with the orbital adjustment, terraforming begins and the first enclosed permanent settlements are founded. After the orbital changes are complete, the new planet is open for human development and is renamed from Mars to Musk, after its visionary founder.
