> What do you want to bet injuries are high elsewhere and Germany just has better reporting.

Their first plant was California. I know there's some weird need on the internet to conflate the US as a whole, but California is pretty solidly worker-favoring and safety conscious. They have pretty comprehensive reporting and awareness, probably to an equivalent level to Germany.

It's because of that that we know Tesla has always had a modus of terrible workplace environments.

> Isn't the web basically the perfect OS?

I don't think so at all. Web-based applications tend to suck, and it seems to me that much of the reason is because the browser is very imperfect as an OS.
The same way Microsoft was forced to change to Chromium for Edge - Google forcing Chromium-specific features through the standardization process at a rate exhausting for Microsoft (or any other browser engine implementor) to follow in time without popular sites breaking.
> Later goes on to say this is three times as many per capita as Audi.

I'm curious how the ratio looks if you compute accidents per car produced.

Like does Audi have a lower per-capita rate because they are safer, or because their factory is padded with a bunch of incidental employees who aren't actually on the factory floor.
>Converted to the number of employees, this is three times as many emergencies – in a similar period of time – as occurred, for example, at the Audi factory in Ingolstadt.

Per capita the record is fucking awful. Move fast and break things doesn't really work for manufacturing where the things one breaks is employees. At least in civilized countries with functional employment protection laws.

Hard to judge this without knowing the circumstances. Were they fooling around, or did they had to walk on or around the oven? What is even a "dosing oven"?
I mean.. sure. But if you shoot a baby it will also harmed. Or stomp on it, or set fire to it.

So, why is this video specifically about shaking? Because of this very specific and narrow conspiracy theory that takes children away from their parents.
Ideally, probably. But this was a negotiation between the EU and UK and presumably didn't touch rules on other EU imports.

Absorption of light by stuff is frequency dependent. At the right frequency, stuff can be almost entirely transparent.

Similar to how by detecting infrared light JWST can peer through the dust in galaxies to reveal detail that the couldn't see in optical light using Hubble[1].

Electron-positron annihilation releases photons with an energy of roughly 0.5MeV[2], and as you can see from this graph[3] the absorption is relatively low at those energy levels. Unless I got my math wrong, about 90% of those photons survive traveling through 1 cm of water or fat (which has roughly the same density as water).

It's just my estimate. I think 0.01% is far too low given that between 3-10% of men (probably closer to 5%) are gay. Approximately 1 in 4 straight men also watch gay porn:
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/relationships...

I'm not able to check exact numbers now, but I remember glancing at total videos once on xtube or a similar site. The number of gay videos seemed to be 10-20% of the number of straight videos.

So we can reasonably assume that a reasonable portion of pornography features men only. Even if it's just 5%, it calls the 90% number from the article into question.

Note that when allowlisting Cloudflare IPs as a defense mechanism, it's also important to make sure your web server only responds to requests whose `Host` header actually specifies a host in your domain. Otherwise, an attacker can set up their own Cloudflare account and configure your origin IP as their own origin IP, and thus cause requests to be sent to your origin from Cloudflare -- but the `Host` header will identify the attacker's domain.

But I definitely would recommend Cloudflare Tunnel or Authenticated Origin Pulls (with per-zone certificates) instead of allowlisting IPs.

(Disclosure: I work for Cloudflare.)
YAML in the very the basic usage is OK. You need to watch the indent, and that's mostly it.

YAML using all the bells and whistles that you had no idea were even part of the spec (e.g. Anchors and Aliases) is terrible, hard to read and harder to edit.
If we could create (and safely implant) artificial ligaments that are even close to human ligaments that would be amazing for anyone with ligament injuries. Once you damage a ligament it never regrows, and current artificial ligaments don't last very long and can cause other health issues. At least for UCL rupture, the current state of the art surgery (Tommy John surgery) involves taking a ligament from some other part of the body and replacing the damaged ligament, which is obviously a major surgery and still doesn't work nearly as well as the original ligament.

Also, you are reducing eWaste.
As someone who has made a ton of grafana dashboards over the years, be prepared for users to hold it wrong. Data visualisations should fail/degrade in clear and expected ways. Users are often surprised when dashboards/charts hit some limit (eg they write a non performant query).

This isn't giving the patrons a choice though, it's giving epic or meta a choice. The user has to accept whatever they do, and personally I trust apple to do that more than I do a random developer.

> And if you still think it's bad anyways, you can always improve on it. But very few actually want to put on the enormous amount of work needed to improve YAML or create a new language.

The issue is less about putting in the work to create a new language, it's about convincing a significant chunk of an ecosystem to use that new langauge.

> IMO if there was something that was substantially better, we would see projects switching to it in a heartbeat.

Switching costs are non-zero and can block a switch.

ie: Helm charts are built on YAML and gotmpl, even though JSON is also an option. I can make a fairly compelling argument that Helm would be better with JSON and JSonnet, but that ignores a huge amount of investment in existing Helm charts. Whatever benefits are there would be swamped by the cost in terms of additional complexity and potential porting costs.

What is depicted in these works is also acting. Scripted verbal abuse to the point where the recipient takes their own life on screen is considered regular acting in a drama, scripted violence to a certain degree including where mistakes lead to significant or even fatal actor injury is considered regular acting in action movies, and scripted sexual acts themselves are commonly considered regular acting in more "artsy" movies.

The planning, execution, willingness, extend and the necessity thereof are important - context is important.

Watching the work is mostly useful in this setting for identifying if the content is outright illegal (individuals present who should never have been) or if physical harm endured within it reach visibly unacceptable levels (as we for now do not expect CGI here), both which would likely (would it be weird to say hopefully?) be traumatizing for a viewer to experience. To draw the conclusions they wish to draw, I believe they need to study the work environment, not the works - and that this applies to any industry, irrespective of its output.

To be fair, it's far easier in written Chinese[1] to have allusion and metaphor because of the multifaceted nature of meaning in the characters. For instance, 行 (pronounced xing or haeng in Mandarin) has an absolute laundry list[2] of meanings even though originally it meant an intersection of roads. It's also possible (but to my knowledge less common) to play with the actual character shapes to induce other meanings, or to use replacement characters that are direct (or close) homophones to construct a play on words. The example that immediately pops to mind is the use of "river crabs" (河蟹 or héxiè) to replace "harmonized" (和谐 or héxié) in order to evade censorship.

I'd honestly be willing to say that there is no real accurate translation of the Dao de Jing into English. Ancient Chinese commentators (including Confucius) note the difficulty of understanding the Dao de Jing, and they could read and speak the language! Not to say that it's impossible, but it's just extremely difficult to replicate. I look at it as being akin to translating Shakespeare into Mandarin. Even English speakers struggle with Shakespeare and when translated it loses the lyricism and a lot of the underlying meaning.

[1] Noting here that when speaking the context will generally make it less ambiguous. Additionally, Mandarin and ancient Chinese at the time of Lao Zi share very little in common phonetically.

absolutely true, but the same happened to XML. XML is actually awesome with tooling that hasn't been matched to this day (XSD, XSLT, just to name a few).

But the point is that companies are using YAML for these things and we're starting to see attitudes shift just like they did when the industry went nuts and abused XML.

It can be deterministically auto-formatted as long as you respect the format, like with everything. If you wrongly indent a line then it’s your fault and the auto-format can’t know if some indent is wrong or not. I don’t see what’s wrong here; it’s like adding a superfluous } in JSON or not closing a tag in XML.

I've pretty much given up trying to recycle plastic, and instead throw it in the trash. It's toxic to make (I think?), contaminates food and water when you heat it, and--apparently--can not be recycled safely or efficiently.

I'm also curious about if plasma gasification is a better option for plastics than whatever this process is.

> The browser is essentially the operating system

That's a fashionable observation; I think it's a kind of illness. The idea that you can take over anyone's computer, and make it do things the user doesn't want done, and doesn't know are being done, makes some web-developer's heads swim; they can turn the whole internet into a sort of distributed supercomputer for their own private use. WHATWG bears a lot of responsibility for this.

A real operating system doesn't download and execute code from unverified remote locations. Nearly every website nowadays tries to load and execute in the browser code from any number of remote locations, without the user's approval or even knowledge. By default, I only allow 1st-party JS, which I consider to be an extremely liberal policy.

The technology seems to be valuable, but it looks like capturing and containing emmissions is still not cost effective so they just dump it.
