Dogfood, mostly. And other products where you need protein but taste either doesn't matter, or can be completely overwhelmed by spices.

There isn't very much of a wool industry in the United States. Australia and New Zealand have such large economies of scale that in the US, you literally lose money just by paying someone to shear your sheep. The wool is worth less than the shearer's per-fleece fee. So the problem of "where do all the old sheep go" isn't a very big one.

I expect that either they eat quite a lot of mutton in Australia, or they sell that mutton on markets where it is desirable. But I don't have any data or experience to back that up.
They modeled it mathematically using something called “Bayesian evidence synthesis”. It’s a popular method assessing disease rates, war casualties, etc when there’s limited “hard data” available

OK, let's. Vanilla TeX doesn't support Unicode or OpenType.
Thus we have the “modern” engines XeTeX and LuaTeX.
XeTeX natively reads UTF-8 encoded Unicode input and uses HarfBuzz for OpenType. LuaTeX provides a Lua-based API and TeX primitives for multilingual typesetting. Additional custom behaviors can be created using TeX and Lua code or via plugins written in C/C++.

The alternative could be investors investing their capital responsibly, in companies with competent C-suites. That would be a nice trend to see. And I have some hope we might.

Actual reputable engineers leading engineering companies, doctors leading medical start-ups, career drivers leading car manufacturers, and so on. That is sustainable. I don’t get the infatuation investors have with the business class where even the most incompetent CEO with experience is often preferred to real competence of a specialist. That experience is available (and much cheaper!) through consulting contracts.

Investing in enshittification schemes is known in some circles as “shitting where you eat”, pardon the strong idiom. It harms the industry they’re trying to exploit for profit. It’s not only parasitic, but self-destructive.
That’s okay, I know.

Anyone with the wherewithal can learn to “read and understand research” it’s not a magical power bestowed upon the few who receive recognition from some long standing bloated institution.

Attributing the drive and work of an individual to such an institution is weird and elitist.

I should note that if said institution paid for, assembled the team, and provided resources, then that institution obviously deserves credit.
I have various lights outside. It's quite nice to be able to say "hey google, turn on the pool lights" when I want to see, or turn them off if someone left them on.

When it's hot, I put a window fan in my bedroom in the evenings. I have it plugged into a smart switch. The google routine turns it off around 2am automatically. I sometimes adjust the time depending on season.

I haven't rewired the light switches in the house because it's not that important to me, but it would be nice to be able to say "hey google, turn off all the lights" when I go out instead of running around flipping switches.

I honestly don't care if someone in China knows if my lights are on.
Tim Cook also acted from a place of strength. That was one investor, and Apple was (and still is) rolling in more money than it quite literally knows what to do with.

I wonder if Tim Cook could get away with it if margins were slimmer, and Apple wasn't the most ludicrous cash making machine since Standard Oil.

Thats my worry, when Apple (and they very well may, who knows) takes a dive, eventually, at some point in the future, will they start selling off the farm?
That's not the comment I replied to. I replied to the comment where they offered no argument for why someone else's downside was invalid, instead opting to say that it's better to not let downsides prevent action. The lack of argument implied they didn't have a response, which I sought to confirm.

> Call me an old man yelling at the cloud, but I just don't understand the hype of connected lightbulbs.

That was me, a few years ago. Now I love them (I use IKEA bulbs and outlets) and would hate to go back. Being about to control my lights from anywhere is just convenient. Now when I climb into bed and wonder if I’ve turned off the light in the basement (a frequent issue), I can just use my phone, not descend three flights and causing noise for others.

I like IKEA’s implementation because the cloud service for me is really Apple HomeKit, which I trust more than others.
Same experience. The medical system is a reflection of pop parenting culture or vice versa. Everyone was so gung ho on breastfeeding, but when the milk didn’t come in and our son wasn’t interested in a dry breast the only advice given was “keep trying”. Then the shock and surprise when baby is losing weight. We had to demand formula, which was given grudgingly, and left the hospital a day later. If we have another we will do breast plus formula from the get go.
What problems did you run into? I've been using MacPorts for years at this point since Homebrew can never seem to install libraries in a way that pkg-config, gcc, and ld can find them. (Yes, I'm aware there is a subcommand in brew to manually print the paths to libraries, this is still not ergonomic compared to MacPorts where I install a library and it more or less "just works" when I want to use it).

Also, Homebrew attempting to nuke /usr/local on uninstall left a quite bad taste in my mouth. I had installed MacTeX before Homebrew, and thankfully MacTeX had proper file permissions set up, so my TeX installation was left in-tact. Still scary knowing that this is just done in the background without warning (unless the operation fails with errors).
Isn't coding a synonym for software development?

There seems to be this idea that calling software development "coding" or "programming" is some kind of insult.

Though perhaps it's understandable if being called a "developer" (or better yet, "engineer") results in higher pay and social status for the same work.

(Then there are software "architects" who don't read or write code at all, preferring non-code systems like powerpoint. /s)

That's why I said 'can'. I didn't say 'always'.

A deterministic computer program _can_ generate rational argument; e.g. it can use logical deduction a.k.a. forward-chaining.

Your claim seems to be that causality (governing the behavior of human thought and action) does not _necessarily_ result in rationality (in that human)? Of course -- this is obvious.

This seems like a miscommunication. Perhaps an unavoidable one? :)
40% of new hires are hispanic. Funnily enough, hispanic is counted as a race even though one can easily be hispanic AND white. And the fact that black and "other race" are both options makes me assume that many of these hispanics might be considered white (at least on a census). There's nothing stopping a white hispanic person from seeing the social pendulum swing and switching their self-reported "race" on their job application.

Additionally, it looks like about a 50% of growth came from "less-senior jobs" This sector lost 19k white americans, while gaining 176k poc. With 60% of that sector's growth coming from hispanics. This sector houses "Sales, laborers, service workers and others." The higher sections that house "roles that typically require degrees" show different hiring patterns. With white americans making gains (that I believe are still disproportionatly low to their share of degree holders? Idk, someone else can do the math), and Asians making the most gains among managers and professionals.

I wish Bloomberg had mentioned how many people are actually employed at S&P 100 companies, I bet <150k professional+ highers is a drop in the bucket compared to their workforce.

Bloomberg also makes note that this trend may not have held past 2021 due to DEI being disincentived politically.

The article displays and explains its data well, though I wish they would have brought up the fact that Hispanics can totally be white. And given the title and the standfirst I expect this to start a lot of angry discussions online. Personally, I'd guess that a lot of the growth simply came from white hispanics and America's rapidly growing, highly educated asian population.

There is no such thing as a static market though. There is no fixed demand of tech or really anything else. People will consume as much tech as they can afford. And if the product gets cheaper, the market just consumes more of it. Notice how the iphone never gets cheaper, it just becomes more capable. You can in theory buy a bottom tier smartphone for $50 which is more capable than the original iphone, but this isn't interesting to most people.

So viewing it in such a contrived way is just not useful. If anything, the more automation we get, the more demand for tech workers there is because it's able to deliver increasingly more value.
That's literally the meaning of being a monopoly: There are no other distribution channels that can compete with Amazon. They are a distribution monopoly.

> Firstly, one would expect to see indications of the evidence for cognitive behavioral therapy

There is plenty of evidence if you go looking. It also looks like there is significant overlap between CFS and long covid and the PACE trial demonstrated strong evidence for the effectiveness of CBT in ME/CFS.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37155736/

> multiple documented physiological issues.

"proposed mechanism" != "multiple documented physiological issues" and even the presence of documented physiological issues (such as in IBS) does not preclude the benefit of CBT because the body is complicated and the mind-body duality is not real.

> comparison in the claim you also need to present the lack of evidence for other treatments.

AFAIK - there has not been any other treatment showing this sort of evidence. It is difficult to prove a negative.
I like the Dylos laser particle counter:

http://dylosproducts.com/dc1100paqmc.html

The version I have has an RS-232 output and a graphing program that runs on Windows. Connect it to an old laptop with an FTDI USB to RS-232 cable and you can log particle count histories. You have to clear the air intake port of dust once in a long while with a burst of compressed air.

The Sharp LED dust sensors aren't as accurate as a laser counter, but can give you a useful enough readout for dust and smoke:
