This recent PR push is getting weird:

> Take Flavia Garcia and Tom Carvell in Edinburgh, Scotland.

> Their 15-year-old hand-me-down Toyota Auris, nicknamed Martina, needs replacing. With a petrol and diesel car ban nearing, the couple would consider an EV, but are put off by a lack of charging infrastructure, battery life fears and price.

People with 15 year old cars they were given for free are perhaps not as vital a part of the UK car sales as fleet purchases.

If the solution requires the full payment to be in escrow before the seller is even aware of this particular unsolicited buyout order, it will become difficult for lenders to provide mortgages since they will have no guarantee that the seller isn't already in a negotiation with another buyer.

So it might be better to establish a prediction market for any such asset that settles on the owner of the asset on, say, a quarterly basis. Instead of predicting the value of the asset, it predicts the owner of the asset at a particular price level. Instead of presenting the current owner with a bid directly, ownership transfers and tax payments would be handled exclusively through the market platform.

...

That said, this is all getting pretty complex.
> No problem with there being a rigorous math department. For mathematicians. But, quite literally, no one else cares

As someone who did an undergrad in mathematics, I have to disagree with you here. People think math is about numbers and computation, but that's like saying literature is about letters and composition. Fundamentally, mathematics is the study of things that are provably true. Without rigor it's not math.
There's a lot of companies laying off people even though they're making increasing profits.

Unity isn't one of those (even if the C suite was being paid $0 since some are arguing that the top brass salaries are too high).

It doesn't make sense to hold them up as an example of a company doing bad layoffs, especially since there's many other very obvious things to criticize them for.
Yes. Training would especially benefit from the increased memory size.
Yes and then they go to say there's missing data for them to attribute investigations to ShotSpotter due to CPD’s lack of record keeping.

Same. Never heard this term before, but the article showed the pink flamingo and I instantly understood what they were talking about.
Indifferent, probably. The thing missing from the post is the conversation where the miscommunication was identified and discussed, so I don't know how his partner would feel. In this hypothetical, I'm the partner, and I'm the kind of person who knows all relationships have communication errors. If we recovered gracefully, then saying "20 minutes late and $20 down" is hardly dirty laundry. Would probably even appreciate that he uses it as a reminder of how to reduce ambiguity communicating with me, as I have my own reminders of how to reduce ambiguity communicating with him.
Because if they didn't patent it then some other asshole could, and deny them rights to their own invention, because the patent system is stupid.
That’s a ludicrous take.

Significant parts of many businesses have no way to make a contract agreement beyond the terms and services agreement they agree to

And even with a contract, you may not think of every loophole. That doesn’t mean that you can’t then argue that the loophole is a violation of the previous agreements spirit.

The idea that “well you didn’t think of all of these things ahead of time so it’s okay that you get tossed around” is just so incredibly broken and flawed. No legal system is that binary, and very few businesses are either.
Sorta-- that means you render it at least twice.

1. You convert the JavaScript/JSX into HTML on the server and send it down (along with multiple blobs of JSON/code to re-hydrate).

2. The browser parses all the HTML and added JSON/code.

3. The browser then re-hydrates the page via JavaScript loading all of the JSON/code and computing everything (rendering it again).
Same reason I'm of two minds about Amazon. I disagree with a lot of their practices, but the first time I bought something from a 3rd party Amazon seller, they shipped it to the wrong address (there was a picture of the package clearly in front of the wrong building) and refused to refund due to "it shows delivered". The seller wanted me to "ask my neighbors". The buildings around me have hundreds of people per building. Then told me it was my problem to take up with the shipping company, saying I'd need a police report, all of that. All for a pair of shoes. I went into the Amazon support chat and they refunded it after the seller didn't respond to them in a timely matter (big surprise). That experience has soured me a bit on going outside the "main channels". Had I purchased that from that seller directly through their website, I'd have either spent hours of time proving to them that I never got the product, have to just eat the money, or deal with the back-and-forth of proving to my CC company that it warrants a chargeback.

My son (15) got hooked up on using old-"tv" effects, but he was not happy with existing shaders, Adobe Premiere / After Effects / etc, so by pure luck one day driving home saw an old Cathode TV/VHS combo boxset left outside for someone to pick up - and I've got it - the VHS does not work, but he's now happy with doing the effects he wants (plus old Hi8 camera for others).

It's a terrible idea for houses because your house has high (and asymmetric!) transaction costs. Moving is painful.

Yeah, I'd be very surprised to see triangulation work well. When you walk around neighborhoods where all the buildings are four to six stories tall, you can be totally deceived about what direction sounds are coming from, because there are so many sonic reflections.

Sure, we're not naturally monogamous. Marriage is something that we developed over time because it leads to more stable societies with less violence (no fighting over breeding rights, inheritance, etc). It makes sense now just as much as it did 5,000 years ago. Plenty of research shows that children from two parent households end up living more successful lives with more opportunities. And I'm a proponent of not getting married for any reason other than having children.

Depends on what you define as "useless".

It was objectively bad at identifying gunshots (the precision and recall were horrendous) and at reducing gun violence.

But it was really good at manufacturing probable cause, because the false positive rate was so high that police could use the sound of a dumpster lid closing as a legal reason to detain and search anyone who they wanted in that general area.
You stopped short. You quoted the first paragraph but not the the supporting clauses. In fact, that preamble then goes into enumerating the specific federal powers.

If it was enough to say that taxes, duties, and excises could be levied and collected to pay for "common defense and general welfare", Section 8 would conclude with that sentence. There would be no need to follow that with explicit ennumerations.

Furthermore, we have a federalist government wherein we have a federal government with limited power. 10A wouldn't exist if this wasn't the case. Allowing the federal gov to tax for "general welfare" gives it unlimited power, which contradicts the very structure of the government.

Proper intro to S1A8:

"""

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

To borrow money on the credit of the United States;

To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

...

Does "major deprioritization" have understood meaning in that org?

Is "2 weeks" in person-weeks or calendar-weeks?

Is the "expect" an assessment of the effort, a business requirement, a priority-based resource allocation, or an attempt at whip-cracking?

Any context that would help understand the priority?

It should be trivial to observe luxury beliefs in today's culture. Among many examples, are those advocating for defunding the police, while living in gated communities out in the suburbs. Or the wealthy elite who support open borders, insulated from the pressures of mass migration. Post-modernism in academia acts as a form of prestige through its obfuscatory language games, yet it distracts intellectuals from focusing on real problems, as remarked by Noam Chomsky.
Cuttlefish are fascinating. From Wikipedia [0]:

"Cuttlefish are able to rapidly change the color of their skin to match their surroundings and create chromatically complex patterns, despite their inability to perceive color, through some mechanism which is not completely understood. They have been seen to have the ability to assess their surroundings and match the color, contrast and texture of the substrate even in nearly total darkness."

Django has a version of that widget in the admin panel and I really like it.

I actually like native web multi-select widget because I know how it works and it works well. But most people don't know how it works, no one is going to teach them, and they aren't going to look it up (they probably don't even know what to search for to learn!). So you need one that works just with clicks and no modifier keys or most people won't actually be able to use it. In other words, it's not accessible.

The US and Canada's grids are interconnected without the two nations being integrated as closely as the EU member states are.

That (crappy) $4.6k diamond would be from $3.3k on now :

So that's a -28%, and assuming no change between 2006 and 2008, this does seem to fit the recent drop in 0.5 to 1 carat prices seen on the chart ? (Note that all of the drops happened since early 2022.)

> Then it's vulnerable to malicious buyers putting in fake bids

TBH that seems like the easiest issue to solve. For instance, to make an unsolicited bid you have to escrow %20 of the price. If the owner chooses to updated the declared value, you get that back. But if they choose to sell and you walk away (or don't actually have the other %80 to complete the sale) then you forfeit that to the owner. Or you can even disincentivize "malicious" offers more by saying that if the owner chooses to update the declared value then you still forfeit the escrowed cash but it goes to offsetting the increased tax bill for the current owner.
> I don't know how they measure it, but other measurements have shown different results

The big difference is the blog post you linked performs a very basic GET request to an endpoint. It mentions it doesn't hit the database or deal with caching. It's basically a non-realistic hello world that is good at isolating performance of a specific library but doesn't show how it fits into the grand scheme of things.

The other link performs multiple database queries as part of the request which goes back to the old saying that for a huge portion of web apps you're I/O bound (AKA waiting for something else such as the database).
