> My understanding is lower classes historically didn't eat much meat. They couldn't afford it.

Depends where and when, but while that may have been likely for the rural poor throughout history, cities were different. For example, as one can learn from commentaries on Chaucer’s society at the time of the Canterbury Tales, the 14th-century London masses were indeed eating lots of meat. Of course, this was largely poultry (and not always the choicest cuts thereof) instead of luxurious meats like beef, but nevertheless it was meat. A couple of centuries later, sausages were a common snack of the proles attending Shakespeare’s plays at the Globe Theater.

> carefully preparing soil and planting sapling

None of that is strictly necessary. While it helps, it's not a requirement. Simply selecting the right seeds, maximizing cover/photosynthesis, and perhaps mowing at the appropriate time are usually sufficient, unless the soil is seriously degraded.

Fukuoka spent years working with people and organizations in Africa, India, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States, to prove that you could, indeed, grow food and regenerate forests with very little irrigation in the most desolate of places.

By randomly scattering seeds.
I think the point is: how is bundling a custom ssh server into the same executable that interprets the commands, a reduced surface as opposed to using standard openssh's sshd, and defining a simple shell like so:

#!/bin/bash

cmd_foo() {
printf "called foo with %s\n" "$*"
}

cmd_bar() {
printf "called bar with %s\n" "$*"
}

run_cmd_call() {
local cmd="$1"; shift
local cmd_args=("$@")

case "$cmd" in
foo) cmd_foo "${cmd_args[@]}" ;;
bar) cmd_bar "${cmd_args[@]}" ;;
*) printf "%s: unknown command\n" "$cmd" >&2
esac
}

while (( $# )); do
case "$1" in
-c)
read -ra cmd_call <<< "$2"
shift
;;

*)
printf "%s: unknown argument\n" "$1" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
shift
done

if [[ "$cmd_call" ]]; then
run_cmd_call "${cmd_call[@]}"
else
while
printf "> "
read -ra cmd_call
do
run_cmd_call "${cmd_call[@]}"
done
fi

(then, of course,)

sudo useradd -ms /path/to/custom-shell.sh userfoo
sudo -u userfoo bash -c 'mkdir ~/.ssh; printf "%s\n" "$your_pubkey" >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys'

How would you "do more than run one of the commands that it already runs" with this from a `ssh userfoo@localhost` call?
yeah it's a dying app? maybe not enough maintainers and QA
The researchers found a total of 45% of flavored and unflavored supplements tested positive for rancidity, with 32% of flavored supplements testing positive and 13% of unflavored pills.

The above math looks wonky to me but fits with the TLDR at the end of the piece:

Both Frame and Hands suggest exercising caution with flavored fish oil supplements at this point due to the uncertainty of how the flavoring may affect their freshness and, thus, any potential health benefits.
Indeed. My intent with my comment was to jokingly nod in that direction.
Honestly, as someone who has implemented both SAML and OAuth2 (+ OIDC) providers, I found SAML much easier to understand. Yes, there are dangerous exploits around XML. Yes, the spec is HUGE. But practically speaking, people only implement a few parts of it, and those parts were, IMHO, easier to understand and reason about.

This is definitely an unpopular opinion however.
I think unopened sesame oil can have years of shelf-life. I certainly never had a problem with the smell and we use sesame oil quite a bit in our household.
> No - hiring managers and directors decided it was necessary.

Where did the hiring managers come from? Poofed out of nowhere?

How did they know what to hire? Just made up their own direction?

This would be like if a McDonald's line cook could just decide the company no longer will offer the Big Mac because they don't like making it.

This line of thinking is so typical for a developer. You even reference Scrum like that means anything in the areas we're discussing. But even in that setting, how do you think Product Owners know what things to prioritize? They're just making it up as they go?
I agree. Someone in the leadership tier can generally get by longer without desperately needing to work; their house is often paid off, they get dividends from shares, etc. Down in the blue collar ranks, many of those people are scrounging to stay on top of rent, or pay a mortgage, or getting hit by rising food costs. Many workers aren't in a position to change jobs on a whim.
> The CEOs are coming from a restricted group of insiders and can't be replaced because of their relationships which make them unique.

Wouldn’t that be simply favouritism/cronyism rather than a free market?
I've followed this matter a little bit as I work in the I.T. industry. I don't live in the UK and have no knowledge of the actors. The government response, including this announcement is shockingly deficient and on the low side of the impact. For a start - it only targets those who were convicted. It does not take into account all actors adversely impacted including falsely accused but not convicted. It doesn't take into account the circumstances of the victims. The government does not at all seem inclined to take any substantive action on this matter other than writing a cheque.

Open question to those in the UK closer to this - How do you see the government's response? What is the public sentiment on the matter. Does anyone have any insight why charges are not being pursued against Post Office Management in light of substantial evidence of wrong doing?
I'm not a historian, archeologist, or any sort of relevant expert.

But I've long had the pet theory that the Green Sahara is the origin of the Eden Myth.

It’s probably best to take your omega 3 in liquid form rather than capsules.
The article specifically says < 15% rate of rancidity for pills which looks like it includes capsules since the only other category they call out is flavored supplements.
Supplements are easily the biggest single scam against consumers in existence. Just walked out of a CVS where I saw a large bottle of Vitamin C pills for $42. That's easily a 10,000% markup or more on the raw ascorbic acid in those pills. Not to even mention the lack of health benefits.
Or for this audience, the tech industry, where in-demand skills are often bid up in the form of higher salaries.
when i hear about male institutions my first thought is misogynistic bro groups. sure, not all groups are like that, but given the complaints of women in male dominated organizations, any group that is male only comes across as suspect. i know it's a prejudice. but there still are lots of men out there who behave in ways that i absolutely can't condone.
> Doesn't it seem weird that dozens of application languages have become popular since the 1970s, but we're still using dialects of the same old database query language?

Indeed. Do you honestly believe that a half-century of data storage professionals and vendors are blindly moving forward with a hobbled tool?

Or maybe there are aspects of SQL as a set-oriented 4th generation programming language that aren't apparent to folks who are intimately tied to an imperative or functional programming paradigm as opposed to a declarative DSL for set theory.
“and then just passing it along to consumers one way or another?”

The consumer will buy a car from a non-union automaker that charges less.
Have you considered that you are perhaps not a very good big-org leader, and perhaps that is why they have not hired you?

Simply stating they can hire you and they don't because you're not already well-connected clearly demonstrates you haven't an idea what these people actually do.
As long as we do the same to the gov.
Debt to GDP is the more interesting number.

In the last 5-years, the US has more debt than GDP.

The last time we experienced this was during WW2.

>Grind one batch a couple notches finer than usual. Grind another batch coarser than usual.

You are giving me advice as though I havent been "dialing in" my coffee for over a decade. Of course if you brew two different coffees with 100% different particle sizes, you will get different results. This is an exaggeration fallacy. It is not the same test as having 95% of one particle size vs 5% of another, which measures the improvement you might get from upgrading a $50 grinder to a $200 grinder.

>Don't forget, this isn't just Reddit. People have been brewing coffee for centuries. There are many professionals and lifelong tradespeople. There are definitely things that matter for making a good brew and particle size is one of them.

Yeah, people have been brewing coffee for centuries. No, people have not been concerned about minuscule differences in particle sizes for centuries. The ethopian method still consists of roasting beans in what basically amounts to a cast iron pan. Dominicans still roast their beans in sugar over a fire. Both have been grinding their beans using mortar and pestle since the beginning of time, and continue to this day. Would you scoff at those, and tell them their coffee is not "dialed in"? I'm sorry, but the pretentious exaggerations over coffee particle sizes absolutely are a recent phenomenon, and that you are seriously suggesting history in support of your claims reveals an obvious level of naivety.

EDIT: Also, you should be extremely wary of "learning" from well-edited videos of taste testers such as James Hoffman whose entire livelihood depends on being a coffee personality in a world where coffee is touted as being more complex than it actually is...
Probably yes, but I’d need to see a model to be sure. Changes to the general circulation of the oceans had massive effects on paleoclimates. Recent examples are the closing of the Panama strait, and the opening of a new strait between Australia and Antarctica.
In Lisp terms, sizeof is a special operator.

It used to be compile-time only until C99, which allowed it to be applied to a variable-length array (VLA). Thus it potentially has run-time semantics, though still not a function. Address-of (&) has run-time semantics, since the address of an object is rarely constant, and isn't a function either.
But but competition keeps them in check!!!

(Competition between the two players in the market that have a revolving door of executives, a carefully crafted moat a mile wide, and raise prices together in lock-step but definitely do not collude, no sir!)
I don’t seek out particular exhibits when visiting museums. I more so feel in the mood for it and just go for whatever’s on display. Any time an art museum I visit has a Van Gogh it catches me off guard. There’s a room full of different artists but his will jump out every time. They’re stunning.
The average CEO at a top U.S. company was paid $27.8 million in 2021, including stock awards — 399 times as much as the typical worker — according to research published by EPI. From 1978 to 2021, CEO pay grew by 1,460%, adjusted for inflation, versus just 18.1% for the typical worker.

Auto workers aside, this is always a crappy stat that is thrown about.

"Top US companies" is rife with survivorship bias. It's like saying "the CEOs of the most successful companies had their pay increase..." Well yeah, when a company is successful, compensation rises.

Average CEO pay across all companies in the US is like $250,000.

Honestly, if the union wants similar compensation as the CEO, they should have the same pay structure as the CEO - 10% in cash salary and 90% in options or stock. When the car company does really well, they make a ton of money, when it does poorly, they make almost nothing.

But I would guess they wouldn't go for that.
Steve was replaced with one of the greatest minds in Operations that history has ever known, and much of Apple's success under Steve was thanks to Tim. So Apple is not the best example if you're trying to show "CEOs don't matter."
I feel like this is an example of reporting on a paper misunderstanding some of the details. Specifically that probabilities can’t simply be added together.
best is from dietary sources.
Favoritism, cronyism or more like it would actually be described by the people who do it, a preference for trusted associates you've worked with in the past over strangers to run your stuff for you isn't a violation of your "market freedom" but rather an expression of a set of preferences that make all your choices incommensurable. P.S. it is not in the interest of investors for one employee to make way more money than normal it's just that nobody knows how to avoid it when that employee is the center of decision-making. The kids of yesterday's owner-operators have an entirely different set of preferences from their parents due to being real, "classical" capitalists... Which makes the focus on CEOs kind of ironic! Technically they're workers who escaped the cruelty of a liquid market.
No one knows at which point that number goes from being a hypothetical problem into a very realized one.

Everyone knows the US needs to roll back the batshit tax advantages it keeps handing out to certain groups that largely already have all the money, although few seems willing to say that in a way that may impact them getting paid.
Abstract doesn't mention anything about tocopherols (vitamin e) that is frequently added to these oils as an antioxidant. Would these be expected to be effective at scavenging oxygen from the capsules?
They seem to be offering a free service (I couldn't find a price list anywhere), but have received $6M in venture funding from Sequoia. What's the monetization strategy?
I’d be very interested in a similar comparison for RAG style tasks
As a young Have Not, I'm just waiting this one out. I see 1 of 2 options in the future:

1. Prices go down because nobody can buy the homes at their current prices given current interest rates

2. Prices stay up because large buyers scoop up the homes. Over time, fewer and fewer Americans actually own homes. Eventually the majority of voters will be Have Nots and the scales of power will tip.
I'm so ready for checks to die, but somehow I always seem to have someone tech-averse that I need to pay monthly. I briefly got to stop writing monthly checks when my dog walker started accepting Zelle, but now my preschool will only take checks, so I'm back to writing a check every month.
CEOs are an illiquid market, and demand for CEOs is pretty inelastic (companies need but one CEO after all). It's not a market which can reach price equilibrium.

If you expand your horizon somewhat to C-suite in general, it seems that demand for C-suite has tended to increase over time. If you also consider that C-suite is to some degree a Veblen good (demand increases as price goes up) [1], that makes sense under economic laws. Worker pay, unlike executive pay, is going to be considered a significant cost center, and business will higher fewer workers if individual pay is growing too quickly, making worker pay act like regular goods and not Veblen goods.

[1] The framework for setting CEO salaries tends to be "take the median CEO pay, add a little extra because our CEO's clearly better than average..."
> “Obviously, CEOs should be the highest-paid person in an enterprise, but then the question is exactly just how much higher than everyone else,” Josh Bivens, chief economist at EPI, told NPR.

Are there any examples where this isn’t true?

I know someone who works as an engineer cleaning up nuclear waste. The workers who do the job he engineers are paid more than him. He is ok with that but did pass the comment that it’s an unusual situation.
The Apple Watch launched 4 years after he died. He probably wasn't involved in that at all, or just barely. Which means that was all Cook's doing. It's now a multi-billion dollar business on its own.

AirPods launched 5 years after he died. It's highly unlikely he was involved at all. That's now also a multi-billion dollar business.

Apple Vision is about to come out. I wouldn't be surprised if that turns into a mult-billion dollar business after a few years.

Yes, Tim Cook does not have the charisma of Steve Jobs, and probably doesn't have the design sense either. But he's awfully good at putting the right people in the right places to steer the ship with him and have quite a strong vision of the future.
My understanding is that the CEO's in question are not even remotely comparable to Lebron James's stature in basketball.
I reserve the right to find it to be a very annoying behaviour that has cropped up in recent years, especially with people who spend way too much time on the internet, and I think I got enough upvotes to know that there's others who at least silently agree
> Now every time anti trust gets brought up people think about how the government lost 5 cases in a row and consider it a waste.

It demonstrates how weak and toothless are current laws are, and shows a desperate need for Congressional action.

Before, when you brought up Congressional action on anti-trust it would get waived away with: "The FTC has the powers they need and aren't using them. There's no need for Congress to act".

If someone tried to raise those objections today, they looked silly.

The fact of the matter is the executive branch needed to walk into the buzz-saw to demonstrate that the current laws are insufficient and prompt Congress to act. Now it's a matter of putting public pressure on Congress to act.
Just think of all the risk that executive took by potentially only earning $1.5 million dollars! EDIT: called it,
MichaelDickens just made this argument unironically.
I mean that's one interpretation.

Japan's problem was that it's spending did very little to encourage consumption [1]. It was mostly dedicated to high-cost infrastructure projects and other boondoggles that simply did not lead to more economic activity. [2]

That intrinsic lack of demand led to insanely low inflation for a long time, so that Yen-denominated debt consistently grows as a share of their Yen-denominated GDP. [2][3]

In the US, we've grown debt a considerable amount, but the only time we really increase it as a % of GDP is during recession responses (since our 'normal time' debt usually goes to things like private contractors who grow like stock-market businesses and create durable GDP). [4]

Anyway, long story short, the US debt is it's own thing and it's very hard to compare to Japan, since Japan went about it in such a different way.

A good one. A lot is being built on top of clickhouse. I can count at least 3 if not more (hyperdx, signoz and highlight) built on top of clickhouse now.

Suppose a similar rate of change in similar conditions happened 10,000 times in the past. Is that useful? Alternately what if we've never seen a rate of change like this in the history of the earth. Is that useful?
Cool program, it looks like an easy way to get started with ODB-II, thank you for sharing!

> Currently it only displays live data - no recording and replay is possible. NOTE: The program only displays the engine data, not airbags, ABS and body control systems. Even if your adapter supports that, you will need a more specialized program for that.

If you have more sophisticated requirements, it seems like Wireshark has the ability to stream and record data in real-time: https://www.csselectronics.com/pages/can-bus-to-usb-wireshar... is an ~$70 adapter which shows up as a serial port

Alternatively, https://canable.io/ with USB port seems to support several open source software packages (there are clones of Canable 2.0 Pro available for ~$17 on AliExpress, but hopefully the official version will come back in stock soon):

- Cangaroo (Windows, Linux): Send/receive standard and FD frames, decode messages from DBC files

- SocketCAN (Linux) Native Linux support using slcand (can record and pass into Wireshark)

- python-can (Windows, Linux, Mac) Easily interface with the CAN bus using your CANable and Python scripts

Totally agree, that's why I submitted this article. I'm personally invested in seeing Godot become successful, but this type of constructive criticism is great for the ecosystem (even though some people get very defensive). I think it's exciting that there's so much room for improvement and shining light into Godot internals is a great way to expose what needs to be done.

I found this report [1] from NBC Bay Area, which states that Cruise would not release the video "But NBC Bay Area was able to review a nearly 13 minute video which is purportedly the incident in question. It appears to show what the company describes, including the ambulance managing to squeeze by the stopped Cruise car."

(Reading between the lines: I'm assuming the news station was able to review footage that is not from Cruise (dashcam from a cop car? security camera?), and are being circumspect about even describing their source to protect whoever gave them access)
