Covering your deductible on your healthcare plan. I had a friend with this benefit and it was super important because she had an expensive medicine.

I saw a colleague who specifically put in his contract that he always had whatever dates this one convention occurred in off.

Before I was a remote worker, I had it put into my contract that must be allowed to leave work by 1 hour before sunset. I have poor eye sight at night, and must drive when the sun is up for safety. I never wanted to be penalized for taking off early in the winter. Someone could say I could invoke ADA, but it's just easier to just have it in the contract up front.

I had a colleague who negotiated an specific office chair because he has a bad back. It wasn't super expensive or anything, but important to him.

That's all I could think of off the top of my head.

I'm genuinely curious and would love to be wrong. Do you have some source?

Most of the time they say they do it, but it's much more expensive and recycled plastic quality degrades quickly, can't be mixed with other PET, so you still need to add a majority of regular plastic to the mix.

Quoting wikipedia "approximately 15% of collected PET bottles were actually recycled into new bottles" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PET_bottle_recycling

Really nice article with lots of good shows! My personal underappreciated yet awesome and highly recommended ones from that article are:

- Aomori: Flying Witch: Highly relaxing show with lots of nature.

- Wakayama: Summer Time Rendering: A highly highly underappreciated sci-fi thriller that picks up in the latter half and keeps getting better and better, with an awesome ending. Iirc the show was underappreciated in Japan because Disney+ had exclusive streaming rights when it was airing and it flew under a lot of people's radars due to that.

Also, doing pilgrimage for an anime you like provides a really good motivation to actually visit and explore the place. Japan is quite homogeneous but each place has their own charm.
You're right, looks like I got the acronym wrong. I'm referring to OETF.
It seems like a reasonable critique. The suggestion is to include such ideas as people are taking introductory statistics which isn’t inappropriate. I wouldn’t suggest forcing students to code up their own simulations from scratch, but creating a framework where students can plug in various formula for each population, attach a statistical test, and then run various simulations could do quite a bit. However, what kinds of formula students are told to plug in are important.

If every formula is producing bell curves then that’s a failure to educate people. 50d6 vs 50d6 + 1 is easy enough you can include 1d2 * 50 + 50d6 for a 2 tailed distribution, but also significantly different distributions which then fail various tests etc.

I’ve seen people correctly remember the formula for statistical tests from memory and then wildly misapply them. That seems like focusing on the wrong things in an age when such information is at everyone’s fingertips, but understanding of what that information means isn’t.
They'll be left red-faced after this!

ORRR ... you can just be careful with the shit you write online. You know, try to act as if you're talking to real people on the street(where there's usually more consequences). I don't know why we have to tolerate people acting like psychotic assholes online just because it's online.

I think GitHub was designed for getting work done, but since Microsoft bought them, they are slowly moving into enshitification territory. For example, they have a homepage that is just a wanna be social media feed and the file contents pages have ads for Copilot and in general there are ads for VSCode and blah blah. It was pretty good, but it's going to get much worse. :-)

I thought that this was mostly known that for a long time our "recycled" stuff was getting shipped to China and burned. That ended not that long ago so I wonder what they're actually doing with it now. Maybe actually recycling it perhaps?

It's a shame that this stuff is happening. Lots of feel good measures that aren't helping anything.
Same here. Your reply sounds like I could have written it. Until I started reading this thread, I don't remember when the last time I noticed my tinnitus was. Maybe a week or two ago I noticed it and just thought "oh right" and went back to ignoring it.
I'm no LTE expert, but I'm pretty sure that it handles overlap: you can run LTE diagnostic apps on Android that will display all the visible base stations - often many are visible, sometimes 3 or more on the same band. Your phone looks at what's available and picks a combination with the best signal strength (sometimes it will connect on 2 or 3 different bands simultaneously with carrier aggregation).

But even then, most carriers have many bands/channels (EARFCNs) available - and presumably only a small slice of bandwidth is needed for this service considering it's (initially) only for text messages. Finding 5 Mhz on one of the higher LTE frequencies wouldn't be so hard for many carriers, even if it does need an exclusive channel.

"way less precise" ? There are only 1440 minutes in a day, so a beat is 1 minute and 26.4 seconds, precise enough. And then, if you you want more precision, like we use seconds for minutes, you can divide a beat by 100 (@500.12), not less inconvenient than using seconds.
Maybe our definitions of "deep dives" is different. To demonstrate how the product works, using code, I would be all for especially since this is a developer-centric tool. I take deep dives to mean how the product is built.

With ANC:

- Tinnitus: 50%

- Bose ANC: 50%

I haven't noticed my tinnitus becoming worse or less worse.

The article doesn’t address the question of how the cup truly works. It relies on capillary action but, based on the article, I’m not sure how.

XML is too unwieldy for human consumption. Editing it is error-prone, and those schema-directed editors are even worse, because everything requires clicking and clicking and clicking.

For machine-to-machine communication, it's very well suited, but most data is simple enough, and the XML libraries I've used tended to be --let's say-- over-engineered, while there are no hoops to jump through when you want to parse JSON.

And one thing I always disliked about XML was the CDATA section: it makes the message even harder to read, and it's not like you're going to use that binary data unparsed/unchecked.

XML just tried to formalize data transfer and description prematurely, which made it rigid and not even sufficiently powerful. I must say that XSLT and XPath were great additions, though.
That's a very reductive view.

Yugoslavia didn't have a top-down economy the same way soviet countries did, it had a market of worker-run coops (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers'_self-management).

It also wasn't allied with the Soviet Bloc, but a leader of its own block of non-aligned countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Aligned_Movement).

Yugoslavs also enjoyed much greater Freedoms, at one point having the strongest passport in the world - the only one that allowed for free travel to both the West and the East.

Yugoslavia was Soviet during the Cold War the same way Switzerland was Nazi during WW2 - not at all, just neutral.
When the wealthy vacation home owners actually take an interest in local politics and change the types of businesses (and pricing structure) through their upscale tastes and discretionary income, the residents are still unhappy. This is the classic $20 cheeseburger and martini bar problem in what used to be a blue collar town.
I see this take often and I think it's pretty bad. JSON (data format) and XML (markup format) are very different. Building tools for JSON doesn't change that in any way.

And it turns out that both JSON and XML are used for data interchange, and when people have data interchange problems, they build tooling to help solve those problems (like schema validation). That doesn't make JSON "like XML", it just means they're discovering the same problem and solving it for the format they're using.
Is there a "pre-statistics" book that teaches the thinking skills and concepts needed to understand statistics?
> It's crazy to me that housing is calculated as part of GDP

According to the NAHB, housing contribution to GDP occurs in 2 ways:

a) Residential investment (averaging roughly 3-5% of GDP), which includes construction of new single-family and multifamily structures, residential remodeling, production of manufactured homes, and brokers’ fees.

b) Consumption spending on housing services (averaging roughly 12-13% of GDP), which includes gross rents and utilities paid by renters, as well as owners’ imputed rents and utility payments.
As i understand 3D was considered an afterthought for the Sega Saturn, their 1995 flagship console, only adding a separate processor for 3d late into the design. This made the 3d capabilities of the Saturn very hard to program for.

Same for me. I’ve had mine my whole life probably due to ear infections as an infant.

As a small silver lining, my tinnitus now serves as an audible “alarm system”: too much stress in my life? Drank too much coffee? Overdoing it at the gym? All of these will raise the ringing volume and signal me to make changes.

> but iirc he could still have pulled out by paying "only" a couple billion dollars in fines or something.

That clause was clearly for things outside of Elon (or former Twitter)'s control. Like if a government stepped in to stop the purchase.

Elon never had a good counter argument. So it was simply a case of those who were able to read the public court documents vs the ones who believed Elons out-of-court media blitz.

Alas, the only arguments that matter in court are the arguments that are filled in court. None of the discussion points you talked about even made it to the case, they were laughed out long before Elon gave up and bought Twitter.

Reading. It's a superpower. That's what the past year has taught me. A surpring number of people cannot read and will believe falsehoods even if they contradict written and agreed upon documents.
And yet no national government will ban single use plastic bottles.

Where I live we are back to paper grocery bags, which I like better. But I can drive a few miles in state to get plastic bags for groceries.

I am old enough to have seen paper and glass replaced by plastic, time to go back and charge at least 1 USD per bottle to encourage recycling instead of 5 Cents. For people out side of the US, we are almost at the point were nothing costs less than 1 USD.

SBHelper – AI powered support agent for small business
Hey everyone, I’ve been working on OpenAI powered support chat for a couple of my projects, but when I showed it to some of my friends, they wanted it as well, so now it is a standalone project. I wanted to get your thoughts about it as well.

As a result, we have an AI support chat aimed at small to medium sized businesses. I tried to make it as simple as possible to set up:
1. Tell the chat as much info as you can including most common support cases.
2. Test it out.
3. Embed as a chat on a page or as a popup script.

The idea is to reduce contact form submissions and get most common issues resolved without customer support.

Please let me know what you think.
I absolutely hate the ongoing effort to shift the costs of pollution and environmental damage onto end consumers who have no say in the actual production of the products they purchase. "Carbon footprint" was heavily pushed by the oil industry to blame people who buy their shit for buying their shit.

From the text: "A full 87% of all collected plastic bottles were therefore recycled into new beverage bottles in 2022."

The used plastic is recycled multiple times: "PET plastic bottles are also good materials for many other products, but it is best when they become new beverage bottles. This preserves the high quality of the plastic so that it can be reused again and again"

Why did you write that they "can't be used for the same thing" when even wikipedia says its happens?
It is highly region specific.

In EU 42.1% plastics are recycled, 39.3% are burned as fuel and 18.5% go to landfill. So it's absolutely possible to do better than 10%.

100% fair point. I was thinking the other way: when you accidentally ran into my car, the fact that you didn't mean to do it doesn't excuse you from liability for the damage to my car (even if you had a medical emergency).

You're absolutely right that overt intentional assault is different than an accidental collision.
I've just looked at CNN and there's a piece from an hour ago there's no confirmation.
I'm not sure why the baby beheading became a big deal - we are sure they killed and burned babies, children, women and even dogs. At point blank.
We are pretty sure they raped (there are quite a few evidence by now).
We know for sure they beheaded adults (I saw pictures of beheaded soldiers).

Oh they also make it a point to murder hostages and send their loved ones a video of the murder. Great bunch of people.

If they did or didn't behead a baby doesn't really matter much imo. If they didn't does that somehow make everything alright? They did plenty.
Ha! I love your bias disclaimer -- and you have certainly brought Homebrew out of the darkages (no disparagement to the earlier works); it's noticeably more performant lately. :)

Your skepticism is understandable! GH seeks to bring this collab to all, but back then the skill required to even contribute was a barrier. But in a way that barrier was acceptable and useful.

The people doing it were skilled. The basic level of skill required to even contribute was a lot. I think there’s something to that.

As a 14-year-old it was beyond me, or so I thought, but in truth it probably wasn’t. But yep, you got me; I did not contribute! I was an observer, with a genuine admiration for the simplicity and effectiveness of that method of contribution. How sending something as commonplace as an email can have profound implications when it carries a valuable contrib!

Indeed GH has some joy. Yet while convenient, modern tools might lack the intimacy and individualism of the older, more decentralized methods, which can avoid the immediate public scrutiny that GH may entail.

I suppose you can consider my words an ode to the old ways, and an invitation to consider whether some elements of the past should be reintroduced in today's collaborative environs. This might sound whimsical (and perhaps not entirely accurate), but perhaps the "email method" was even more eco-friendly!

It's not so much I think those things you list are a pain, just the overall "structure of collaboration and social organizing algorithms" (please excuse me; I'm finding this hard to articulate!).

If don't get the vibe of my comment, I totally understand! It's intended to resonate with those who witnessed the evolution of dev practices and share my nostalgia for the early internet of the 90s.

My memories of watching patches flying over those email lists are forever tied up with that whole early internet nostalgia. I loved that stuff. I read zines, and printed off RFCs so I could smuggle them to school and read them, just to “stay in touch” with online, even when we couldn’t connect. :)
Why is that bad to be responsible for it? I don't like the take that I often see, that "these big companies are responsible for Y% of total pollution, yet I have to use a paper straw" or similar. Like, why are those companies so big offenders? Because they're providing the products we as consumers consume.

If the external costs of our consumption got priced into what we have to pay, it could actually shift behavior. Companies not polluting as much would win, as their products would be cheaper and gain market share etc.
