It comes down to incentives. If you're the owner of a small business that relies on a good reputation and repeat customers, you're going to care about quality of service because it directly impacts your bottom line.

As companies grow, they might choose to hire employees and managers who are paid flat wages regardless of whether the company does a lot of business or a little. If the employees work hard and the business flourishes, but they see no reward of any kind, this fosters resentment and they stop caring about quality of service.

Intelligent business owners recognize this reality and offer incentives that reward employees if business is good - e.g. commissions on sales in the retail world, stock options in the startup world, wage increases in the manufacturing sector, etc. Greedy shortsighted owners ignore this dynamic, so their employees are incentivized to do the least amount of work possible, just enough to avoid being fired.

Where things get really bad is when monopolization grows and markets end up controlled by very few players, so customers have nowhere else to turn to (Comcast etc.).
She's not stating anything pseudoscientific, nor anything that has been debunked. Quite the opposite really. Her work is meticulously well researched and she takes a satisfyingly rational and critical approach in elucidating her viewpoints.

That commenter above that you refer to is quite simply incorrect. I suspect he's not read any of her work and is speaking only from artefacts of his own imagination.
Oh, mere existence. :)

Sorry, this will not work anymore. More and more people now are learning about the massacres in '47/'48, Nakba, ethnic cleansing, violations of UN resolutions, or even the original partition plan, war crimes, constant illegal settler harrasment and land grabs, and the disgusting nature of the oppression, political machinations of the Israel's ruling class, etc.

Ivoking morality or rights when the occupier doesn't respect either, will just keep working only on the most gullible.

Israel is powerful, and has well established PR machine and lobbying, but the tide of public opinion can turn against it eventually, if it will push too hard.
How long does a fully bootstrapped build take?
I am unconvinced. I could fill the gas tanks of my cars before an impending event such as a hurricane, and if a disaster cuts the power grid, I think it's easier to transport gasoline to the affected area than to quickly restore the grid.
Where do you get the "early 20s" from? The people in the article are 55, 33, 37, 29, ... years old, many people here in the comments don't mention their age etc...
Is someone forcing anyone to sit down and do those things? Could they go for a walk instead?
I can imagine it to be quite hard. However, I do think that it is possible to do studies that meet the 'good enough' criteria and that certain key points can be ascertained with high confidence (e.g. taking folic acid at the beginning of a pregnancy/before conception - don't drink alcohol, etc). The issue I'm finding is that most books for parents seem to be a collection of anecdote and personal bias. It would be nice to have a book which provides references and true insight.
> Al was a shoe salesman. Peggy was hot in high school.

They were both hot in high school. They peaked in high school and married/created a family with their high school sweetheart. That's the entire point of the show.

> They had kids. They took care of them.

They were also neglectful and callous.

> They didn't exactly love each other, but they didn't hated one another also.

Did you watch the show? They most certainly verged on hating each other, and were never as ambivalent as you make out.

> The most realistically portrayed family on TV in decades.

The Middle. Malcom in the Middle. That 70's Show. Any of a dozen "prestige" television shows that aren't sitcoms.

Come on. This entire argument is ridiculous.

To give another example: there was a small restaurant in my hometown that gave change in two dollar bills. It's sort of an easy way to be pleasantly quirky.

The "biological incentives" of being gay (or bi, or ace, or aro, or child-free-by-choice, or (hetero) butt stuff and blowjobs, or all the other things from the a-z of human relationships that aren't pro-reproduction) were still an open question last I heard.
> Whats paradoxical though is how these vehicles lasted decades

This isn't really true. My dad's Yugo was always breaking down. The only redeeming thing was that the car was easily serviceable and the parts were cheap and widely available.

So after 10 years or so you end up with a Yugo of Theseus.
I guess that's the result of watching television for 4-5 hours a day, where every actor/actress is super humanly handsome. This changes your baseline, and makes guys/girls in the real world ugly by comparison.
You are both right. The study at only 10 years didn't run long enough for us to expect to see much. That is one reason medical studies are hard, we are often interested in changes we could make today that won't matter for decades.
This is an interesting one. It's on the top of a lot of lists but I remember some criticisms of it in the early editions. Are the later ones updated/corrected?
I'm perplexed by the desire to move away from DC jacks as well. Power needs 2 pins. Using a multipin connector knowingly to only use 2 pins is rather confusing.
No, that's only half of why waterfall is often considered bad.

The other half is because of the unpredictabilities in building software period -- internal rather than external. You can build out one component fully and another component fully and then finally test them together at the end and discover there's a horrific race condition that requires rebuilding both from scratch to fix.

That's why a more iterative process is considered best practice today, to find showstopper bugs earlier rather than later, particularly to catch and address architectural issues sooner rather than later.

(But also, like I said, rewrites are rarely trying to produce a 1:1 copy in the real world. The whole point is usually to fix a bunch of problems with the previous system along the way, not to continue to reproduce the unwanted behavior. I'm not saying there are never perfect 1:1 rewrites that intend to reproduce all the bugs and warts and all, but it's rare.)
Have a computer voice read out the articles, put a playthrough of Minecraft or Subway Surfers on half the video, and you can get 10x that, lol.
You are confusing one instance with a general behavior.

Chatting is fine.

Getting most of your meaningful social interactions out of chatting is, however, a good way to feel depressed.

Very few people are actually wired to never be touched, to never smell humans, to not be part of group dynamic.

Even introverts, which pay a great price for IRL social interactions, also pay a price for not having them enough.
There are many specific causes, time stamps probably being the most common issue. You can see a list of common issues here:

https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/

The main overall issue is that developers don't test to ensure they reproduce. Once it's part of the release tests it tends to stay reproducible.
Absolutely. Its probably time the govt steps in and shifts patent law to favor cures over treatments. There will be incredible resistance to this from lobbyists though.

Other thing they need to do is eliminate the requirement that all new treatments reviewed by the FDA meet the requirement of a "disease". Theres a lot of things people want out of lets say gene therapy that is not strictly a disease but benefits your health in the end. And I dont know why cosmetic or enhancing treatments should not be considered as well. They need to loosen up.

FDA approval for (gene therapy for instance) is taking something like 15 years to get approved. And only their narrow definition of whats necessary for the public is even considered. This is an absurd situation. Govt red tape is literally killing us.
It does feel a little like a kid who still thinks it's cool and novel to swear.
This is a wild read cause I was discussing this just last night with some people at a bar! We had a never-ending conversation of "if we have kinda non-profit Wikipedia for information democratization, we should have non-profit for dating". Then more into "who would be determining the rules, how we can make it less skewed for one sex or the other, how would we deal with liability, what do we do with spam, how to ID verify to minimize catfishing" and etc.

One thing that's a bit hard though, how would we minimize the whole "numbers game" that's basically the main part of the apps. Guys try to get as many matches possible, girls try to find the "best match" out of "matches", so you still have the whole problem of unmatched men and women. But I guess, that comes after figuring out how the non-profit would work.
Sometimes it's randomized algorithms, sometimes it's performance (e.g. it might be faster not to sort something), sometimes it's time or environment-dependent metadata, sometimes it's thread interleaving, etc.
If you are making $7.25 an hour serving several dozen people in that hour, $2.50 is a small but meaningful recognition of gratitude. It will not set one up for financial independence but should generate a moment of goodwill between two human beings.

(As well, I'm a Canadian but I believe those are unusual currency denominations so another little plus).

I think for a lot of people, even some on the ever bubbly hacker news, amounts less than $10 are still not considered insulting (context depending).
I have found that increasing wordiness while using profanity lessons the stun-factor. For example:

"Thank you for at least SEEMING to give a shit about your job."

or,

"Thank you for giving the impression that you might actually give a shit about this place."

Hoot hoot.
> isn't either sentimental and idealised, or doesn't end in drama, tragedy, and betrayal?

TV shows are about drama. If you have "this relationship is too good" and "this relationship is too bad" as exit clauses here, of course you are going to have trouble.

Does Ben and Leslie from Parks and Rec count for you? Or is that "too idealized"?
I did a colonoscopy last year, and it was covered by my insurance (in the US). I was referred by my primary care physician. My insurance is nothing special, it's the standard type of insurance people have access to when they get a corporate job.

The type of question "are colonoscopies worth it" is not actually people should ask themselves. This is a question your primary care physician should answer, and you should follow their advice. If you don't trust them, just go find another one.
It even lacks man pages btw
Don't you have to fake the system time to do this? The time often ends up inside the binaries one way or another.
IMHO depends on the amount. If you are severely dehydrated and you notice your stool physically hurt coming out. A small amount of blood might honestly not be unexpected.

Edit: To be clear “severely dehydrated” is kinda an important factor here. Point being that if the cause is obvious I dont see why you’d get a colonoscopy. Please correct me if im wrong instead of just downvoting for anyone who knows more about this thx ^^

One thing I didn’t see mentioned in this article, that I thought was one of the major motivators for realizing that mitochondria originally came from outside the body, is that mitochondria have their own DNA independent of the cell’s nuclear DNA. But I wasn’t aware that any other animal organelles do (chloroplasts in plants do, and those are also assumed to have originally been an independent bacteria).

It's one of the rare instance where biology, sociology, philosophy and religion kinda agree.

You can share your own opinion as usual, but it's going to be a hard sale.

It's not about forcing the idea on you, rather it's reporting what a lot of humanity have found to be true on the long run.
There's a better way to see this: once can make a statement about the principle of the necessity of having transactions to exchange value, but not have a particular demand for the offered good or service themselves. I think that's what's going on here, so it might be better to keep these seeming "gotcha" type questions, which are irrelevant, either out of the discussion, or at least remember how they are misplaced! :)
You are right, but that also means a bigger Micro ATX form factor too.

Here's another me too. When I turned 55 my GP started to nag me to get a colonoscopy, and my wife too. But in the small western town that we lived, there's only a very small number of specialists and for 1.5 years "they" kept accusing us of not submitting the paper work. (We did, each time). It all sounded unpleasant and I was riding fast times in centuries so how bad could it be? Finally the GP needed a colonoscopy and the specialists did to her what they did to us and she got pissed off and forced the issue. And her nagging was effective and got us through the procedure. My wife was fine. I was Stage IIa. I did not get the IIa diagnosis until after 10+ weeks, including 4 weeks after the 18" resection. Only thing anyone would say is "your diagnosis is unknown, could be Stage 4". Which, you know, kinda sucks, and I can tell you it might suck harder for your life partner, than yourself. You'll be gone, and they go on alone.

So I get (used to get) colonoscopies every six months and the very good surgeon down in Phoenix chops out the polyps. Weirdly he can fit me in on a couple of weeks notice. But COVID fucked all that up. And then we moved across the country. So now I'm starting all over with the fact that we can't find anyone local to do the colonoscopies. But it MUST GET DONE. (Reminding myself).

So yes indeed it's annoying but if you've got cramps or occasional blood in the stool or are over 55 and never had one do not avoid the colonoscopy. Everyone who loves you will appreciate it.

BTW I started riding centuries again about six months later and the next year I set my life record in the Tour de Tuscon. I tell people the resection was my weight loss plan. I get weird looks. I enjoy it.
Entrepreneurship is often seen as a field driven by business acumen. And while that's true to an extent, there’s something to be said about having a strong technical foundation. I’ve come to realize that the best founders have a knack for blending business insight with technical know-how. They’re generalists. They see the big picture without losing sight of the technical details that form the base of a solid, sustainable venture.

I've spent years diving deep into the technical side of things, honing my expertise. But now, it's time to broaden the horizon, to adopt a more generalist viewpoint. The entrepreneurial side should wrap around a healthy technical base. It's not about leaving the technical behind; it’s about building upon it, integrating business strategies with technical insight.

The latest US Tech Hubs Initiative (recently 31 cities were designated as "Tech Hubs" to foster innovation and attract private sector investments across various sectors)is a nod to both engineers and entrepreneurs.

By spreading tech innovation beyond traditional hubs like Silicon Valley, it opens up local opportunities across the US. Engineers get to engage in emerging tech sectors, while entrepreneurs find new markets and resources. This initiative reflects a broader shift, encouraging both technical and entrepreneurial minds to collaborate and contribute to regional tech ecosystems, making innovation a local phenomenon.

When business acumen meets technical expertise, that’s when the magic happens. That's when we're not just building companies, but creating solutions that matter, that stand the test of time.

The headline is a little misleading. It is only a theory that Mars lost its magnetic field. The experiment that was done was on earth, simulated, and so the researchers cannot definitively say that Mars ever had a magnetic field and lost it.

## TL;DR: If you're explaining, you've already lost. Consider changing to something you don't have to explain. ##

Pick a name you don't have to explain because it's so excruciatingly clear... or so totally meaningless you get to define it. Consider it a red flashing warning sign if you find yourself having to explain because the term you liked is pre-pigeonholed as something else.

The comments here are valid, you and the team are hearing, then saying ‘good point but here's all this background’ -- means you market tested the name, and found out.

Sooner is always better than later to fix market confusion. Your footprint to fix will never be smaller than it is today (unless someday marketing doesn't matter any more). Plus in the "awareness" stage of marketing you can't fix by explaining. Your first chances are "engagement" or "onboarding" and by then you've already lost revenue to the confusion.
I've also had intense, beautiful relationships via chat that were completely flat IRL. A soul-crushing experience to my younger self.

I think the other commenter nailed it: in text-only chat, you end up projecting your own ideals upon the other person.

Human communication is full of nonverbal cues which do not translate at all over text. In absence of those nonverbal cues which our brains are (usually) wired to pick up on, we end up mining the text for semiotic constructs which conform to our ideals of the other person, rather than the reality of the other person.

This is done subconsciously, and doesn't become obvious until you meet the person in real life and they are completely different from what you imagined.

"Then, believe it or not, you also read the documentation the way it should be read and not just snippets here and there in the hopes that you can glance a 1-line remedy to your existential pain."

I'm reading "Debugging" by Agan and the first subrule under the first rule "Know the system" is "Read the manual." This was a surprisingly liberating concept for me as a new programmer -- allowing myself the time to do this during a project as a legitimate strategy instead of just looking for that snippet.
That is a very short term view. It’s essentially ‘Uber driving for relationships’.

Those same women will then complain bitterly when they get older or become a single mom, and no one pays attention to them anymore and have to start actually doing the work.

Like an Uber driver whose car has been worn to a nub with zero equity in anything, still living paycheck to paycheck, and no new skills. But 10 years down the tubes, and they never had to work for ‘the man’, and saw a lot of cool stuff.

The social construct of marriage tries to even this out - that ‘crummy’ man stays around and provides in many ways (social, financial, physical) even after she’s no longer hot and ‘marketable’. And who will help support and protect her while she has kids. The things that make them ‘crummy’ is exactly what is needed to support all that.

It’s the social/relationship equivalent of a retirement fund/pension. It’s not exciting up front.

Pay in now, (and keep him around) so you’re not eating dogfood in 20 years and have kids who can help you too. Instead of being terribly lonely, mentally ill, and then dying alone and getting eaten by your cats.

Which society has also been nuking social safety net wise, much to everyone’s likely long term regret frankly.

It’s folks losing the plot society wide. It’s how we end up with a lot of very sad stories later.
Hmmm, I was actually fixing stuff that had already been going wrong for a while, such as long financial transactions that crossed the date boundary. It's very annoying to have an actual issue that got largely fixed, dismissed as just some other made up conspiracy alongside faked moonlandings etc. Please don't do it.

(There were certainly some overpaid charlatans, and I had to work alongside/around them; that doesn't make the problem less real.)

In theory, sure.

In practice, when Ubuntu added a sandbox to the calculator it started taking longer to start than Eclipse. Took them about 4 years to fix it.

The government could say, we will send our engineer to push a bad JavaScript code or app update , or implement a backdooor, to a select set of users that we suspect, the encryption can be selectively bypassed or the user’s password be extracted. Also, the incoming non-PM emails can be logged unencrypted. That could be a gag order.

Isn’t that true?

Proton could improve the process. For example, it could provide the option of disabling the web access (using only client applications with signatures both of which publicly available. The user can then check that the code they run is same as everyone else’s).
Nah, It's ART still underneath so anything that compiles to JVM will compile to ART, so Java is never dying.

On the Flutter side, it's just another cross platform toolkit like React Native, but a la Google, and won't/can't replace the years and years of Java development.

But the current and foreseeable future Kotlin will be the Java successor because of its JVM/Java compatibility, ecosystem and ease of use. For a while some of the new committed code in Android has been Kotlin.
It’s not perfect, unfortunately.
