And to be fair, ChatGPT warned me about all of the potential issues with indexes. I did actually evaluate its suggestions and decided they were probably going to be worth the potential cost; and as I've said in a sibling thread, it was just a local SQLite database that consisted of data slurped from another source; so even if I'd somehow screwed the whole thing up, I could just delete it and start over.
If people want a job and are capable we should absolutely make sure they are working. That is not being challenged.

But what about all the people who we force to work who should not be working due to age or a disability? That's not "involuntary unemployment"; that's "involuntary employment"! We're using the coercion of homelessness and despair to force these people into roles where they are not suitable and then we pay a shift supervisor to hold their hand all day.

Agreed on the autobiography's excellence. Among other things, Watson Jr. sadly recounts how he and his father drove to colleges around the Northeast US looking for one that would accept the son and his mediocre academic record (Watson was likely dyslexic, or had some other learning disability); Brown is the one that reluctantly does so.

Wartime service as a pilot was the first time Watson Jr. found himself good at anything, and he expected to stay flying until he was pulled back to IBM. He had built contacts in Russia during the war, and used that experience when serving as the US ambassador to the Soviet Union after IBM.

> Having ongoing concerns from a once-in-a-lifetime perfect storm of an event such as Fukushima

A lot of the world's living population lived through Chernobyl, the various incidents at Sellafield and then Fukushima. All events that "statistically" should not have happened nearly as close together as they did - and that's without taking the risk of 9/11-style terrorism, actual acts of war (see Zaporizhzhia NPP) or catastrophic earthquakes into account.

There are only two kinds of power generation that have a mass-casualty potential: nuclear power plants and dammed hydro power (as evidenced by what went on at Kakhovka Dam). We should, as a species, get rid of these. The sooner, the better.

No, it can't. That's at a very low contrast rate, meaning that any detail at the 87MP level is going to be extremely muted and barely noticeable even if it was already high contrast. So basically you'd only ever get that resolution if you were taking picture of a black/white striped test chart, nothing else.

A better benchmark is MTF50, at which you can get about 50 line pairs at ISO 100-50 which corresponds to about 10 megapixels. If we want to be nice we might go as low as MTF20 where you'll get about 18 megapixels of low contrast. I'm looking at Velvia 50, the same film as Ken (https://www.ishootfujifilm.com/uploads/VELVIA%2050%20Data%20...)

Ken also makes the point that the Bayer sensor reduces the resolution - and it does - but he forgets that film has different MTFs for different wavelengths, sometimes even as bad as half for red compared to green.

This makes so much sense that it's nearly indefensible that this isn't how it is.
It's not just about trying to get more people to buy stuff on Steam but also safeguard their own future, while carving out their own experience and a niche.

Back when the whole Steam on Linux started, they saw Windows 8/10 as a real threat to their existence. (Windows S?)

It's just that the way they went about to solve this in an open way is what's nice.

They improved the graphics drivers situation, invested in Wine and other open source projects, put in a lot of effort to create a user experience they wanted on a handheld device.

Ultimately this gave them a real edge over their competitors. Was surprised to see random youtubers making videos on how to install steam OS on their more powerful Rog Ally/Gpd/Home theater PC etc ..

The last sentence is factually incorrect. During my time at FB I contributed code to the container solution, the Jenkins-equivalent, the network routing layer, the bare-metal-provisioner, the monitoring solution and even wrote a feature for the website. I identified a problem, parlayed with the owning team, and shipped that feature. This was the best part IMO about working at FB.

> No one is forcing employers into performative hysterics, it's a reactionary choice by the corporate legal community.

"The rest of the world is wrong, only I know the truth in this thread on a random web forum" is an unpersuasive frame to be arguing from. Corporate legal departments may be inflexible and hidebound, but they surely know this stuff better than you do.

No, this is the way it works. If you do what MS did and offer unrestricted perks to your temps, they'll sue you and you'll lose. Period.

What you're arguing amounts to "no one should hire temporary labor to work alongside salaried employees". And, OK, that's a position. But if that's what you want then you should make that case and not argue that somehow Viscaino doesn't exist, because it does.
The iPhone:

* always had the longest software support lifecycle in the industry. Only recently has Google tried to match them. My six year old iPhone only just stopped getting support for the current iOS release; it will still get security updates for a few more years.

* can be repaired quickly from parts likely stocked in repair shops almost anywhere in the world thanks to the relatively small number of models, whereas a local repair shop is unlikely to have parts for an Android phone, unless you happen to have a phone that was sold in large numbers in that locale

* can have its battery replaced with legitimate OEM parts, retaining waterproofing and whatnot, by Apple or third party shops who have been certified to do the repair correctly. No Android manufacturer does anything close to any of this.

* was one of the first phones to throttle CPU speed when it detects rising internal resistance from battery aging, thus prolonging the device's lifespan (which everyone shit on them for, claiming it was designed to 'force' people to upgrade, when it was exactly the opposite - it kept people's phones working longer than they otherwise would)

* has a charge/data connector much more durable than standard USB connectors, and it's still not placed on the motherboard like nearly every Android phone does; it's on an easily replaced board. The whole EU USB-C debacle about consumer rights. It was about other companies eliminating Apple's competitive advantage with the Lightning port, denying consumers the right to choose a different connector other than the planned obsolescence USB connectors. And you know what else? Nobody's iPhone has ever been fried by a Lightning cable, but there was a huge debacle over USB-C cables that would fry anything they were plugged into.

There's a reason iPhones retaining their value in the used market for years - and Android phones depreciate like a lead balloon.

Ooooookay then.
Whether or not children play CS:GO/CS:2 is irrelevant. It is a game where 50% of the time you play as terrorists shooting law enforcement, it's very obviously not aimed at kids.

The only way for kids to gamble in CS at all is to either steal a credit card, which is obviously not Valve's fault, or for them to have a Steam gift card. If anything is to be done about the children, I think Valve should just 1) require a users to have a credit card on file in order to buy lootboxes, and 2) require re-entering the full credit card details if the user makes several purchases in a short period of time, in order to stop kids who, for example, memorized the CVV of a card already on file in Steam.

Keep in mind that uploading a government ID would have issues, seeing as in the US a driver's license is not universal, not to mention IDs all across the globe. Maybe there's an alternative form of ID that would work that I just can't think of, but anyways, I'm against needing to upload a government ID to access anything unless it's specifically for governmental purposes.

I can respect that. To some extent, though, that's down to the phone UI. iOS, ummm, 6 if I remember correctly was supposed to be more "car-friendly." Of course, that was another Jony Ive failure... it actually changed the system font to a spindly outline that was hard enough to see in normal conditions, let alone in a car. There was absolutely nothing in that OS that offered a "car-friendlier" experience. I was so glad to see that pompous hack leave Apple.

If you look at CarPlay, it chunks the functionality down to a few big icons on the screen at a time. No reason that can't be done on the phone itself in a "car mode."

Anyway, this is what I ended up doing: https://imgur.com/gallery/krRXQwP
My experience as a red badge person was very good. While it is true that I was unable to bring my wife to lunch and I didn’t get free massages, everything else was great.

I was hired by someone with some clout who enjoyed reading two books I had written. He would occasionally call me to talk, and then one time he invited me to work on his pet project at Google.

Some of the perks were amazing. I took an 8 hour class ‘end to end’ that I would have paid a lot of money to take and in one day I got to learn how to use all of the internal systems I would need for my project, plus lots of other interesting stuff. Pure joy, that one!

I totally enjoyed the food (this was in 2013) and I went to invited speaker talks (I made sure that I wasn’t counting this against my 8 hours a day). Getting to meet Molly Katzen (author or Moose Wood Cookbook, etc.) and having a long conversation with her was great. Ditto for Alexis Ohanian.

I also have a work eccentricity, that apparently was not a problem: I always like to start work around 6am, and then leave early. As far as I know, this was not a problem. I need at least two hours a day with no interruptions.

Anyway, if you get a chance to work at Google for a while as a contractor, go for it!
Except that to run those in the first place you need to be running non-private spyware on your phone (iOS or vendor issued android ROM), so you give up all ability to maintain privacy in or out of the car.
Epic game store is a weapon for attacking other game developers. It was never to make a profit. It's just to provide an sealed off area for Epic to buy competitors/etc and cut them out of more open competitor ecosystems. Like when they bought Psyonix, said they wouldn't change anything in Rocket League, then 6 months later unreleased(!) the game for multiple operating systems removing all online play (the only real game mode). They claimed this was because of Direct X transition problems. But they still support Playstation which uses the same old Direct X. It's all lies.

And lets not forget the innumberable times Epic has cloned games made by other companies in their engine and released them for "free" on "epic game store".
> I don't personally believe that any single other skill is more important to being an effective lawyer

I’ll posit one more: a holistic intuition of how the law “works”. The law is unfathomably large. As a lawyer, you have to make numerous decisions that involve novel circumstances or that you simply don’t have the opportunity to research beforehand. So you need to base a surprising number of decisions on instinct, experience, or derivation from first principles.
To this day, and for close to 20 years, Steam is one of the only applications I allow to run in the background (of my Windows PC). It's always been a remarkably lightweight application. It seamlessly keeps itself and my installed games up to date. And the 'workshop' is fantastic for most modding needs. Hard to think of a complaint really, aside from the occasional pop-up ad, but those have never been too obtrusive and they haven't gotten worse over the years.
> While I don't disagree with the bulk of your comment, it's worth noting that PornHub / MindGeek didn't just shoot themselves in the foot but hurt the entire industry when there were numerous videos of missing teens and underage content found on their site.

This itself is a misconception driven by those anti-pornography groups. MindGeek was incredibly good about removing CSAM from their platform, not just reactively but proactively. If you look at the numbers, Facebook is actually a much larger source of child sexual exploitation material than Pornhub was. However, Exodus Cry doesn't care about CSAM on Facebook, because their goal isn't to end CSAM: it's to end pornography.

> It's hard for me to scapegoat conservatives and anti-porn groups when they were WAY more vocal and active when I first started my business

Anti-porn groups are way more active today than they were in the early Bush years. The difference is that, unlike then, their campaigns aren't receiving any attention outside the business, which is part of why they're so successful: there's no real opposition.

> if MindGeek had kept their nose clean it likely wouldn't have worked.

Anti-porn groups aren't going after these companies because they have scandals. They're going after them because they oppose pornography, and it fits their agenda. If they cared about ending child exploitation, they would go after companies like Facebook - but they don't, because that doesn't accomplish their explict, stated goal of ending commercial sex work.

It's missing the point to blame MindGeek for the "scandal" when they're nowhere near the worst offender - they're just being targeted by groups who have a specific political agenda. No matter how much work MindGeek does to eliminate CSAM, anti-porn groups will claim that it's not enough. The leader of the Exodus Cry campaign has literally said that they want to make it impossible for MindGeek to operate legally.

Almost everyone you come across will go out of their way for you in direct proportion to how valuable you are to them. You'll rarely experience any form of self sacrifice from anyone.

And the reverse of this is, you can set yourself apart by genuinely caring for everyone you meet, even if they can do nothing for you.

I happened to realize today that many if not all results we observe today is outcome of one or the other probable event in the past.

How often we analyze past near miss situations, or car accidents that did happen and change lives.

National average electric cost is above $0.12 kWh, I think closer to $0.16, on top of that I think tiered pricing is common. And hybrids often beat 30 mpg.

For a car where electric is $40k and hybrid is $27k like a Kia Niro, it looks like your numbers would produce a payback period on the electric close to 10 years, but longer the less you drive. But that doesn't even get to including potential returns on the $13k saved at the beginning.
My state allows homeowners to do electrical work if they have it inspected. In practice, homeowners are terrible electricians and typically fail multiple inspections before finally passing.
> they glue it shut when they don't need to (bad).

Disagree. Glue isn't really that hard to deal with and likely makes the phone substantially more waterproof. It's really not hard, at all, to deal with glue, it's typically dissolves in acetone and only requires mild heat to overcome.
Awesome advice. thank you so much!
