This whole argument of 'non-native' irks me, with animals and plants.

Most everything was non-native at some point. I mean of course it depends on (potentially huge) timelines but at some point in the past land bridges between continents didn't exist and then existed and then didn't exist. At some point some seed got lucky enough to be carried across a sea either by an animal or just wind.

I know this is a naive point of view, but nature adapts pretty well to this, it's kinda _what it does_, even if in the short-term and from a human lens it causes damage. What does damage mean exactly.. a drop in population of some particular species or plant that we are used to having in an area. Are we sure that's damage and not just normal evolution of ecosystems?

I certainly prefer that to happen than have local governments pass laws saying cats must be kept inside, lest they upset the environment that us humans are used to.

French people always get criticized for not understanding foreigners' broken French. It is not out of malice. It is because it actually is very hard to understand broken French.

A lot of very different words sound similar. A very simple grammatical mistake can completely change the meaning of a sentence.

And yeah, it's probably kind of the same in English, but French is not the linga franca English is today (see what I did there!). While we get a ton of daily practice reading/hearing broken English, it is not the same with French for people living in France.

How do you capture a PBH unless there’s substantial, fast mass (momentum) transfer from the star to the black hole? Otherwise the ballistic trajectory would carry it out and through. Wouldn’t you be more likely to find a PBH orbiting a main sequence star? Or gone altogether?
what bothers me the most is here is an ambigious shortening of a phrase "professional enginner" (or P.Eng.) which I would be fine to say, yes, dont call yourself a P.Eng. when that is part of a cult/guild/group/ect; but then it is also restricted is the "generalized" term of it. all of the other points folks write about actually add-more-details, but in this case they're restricting the detail-removed form; bummer for them and I hope that "confusion" (enforced by the "Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists", (maybe we should abbreviate them as "Ass. of PEG") ) is one day better handeled and not restricting a general term

edit: can you call yourself an engineer but not part of ass of peg in the same sentence/paragraph?
> Australia has 4ish banks. The US has 4000. It’s just not the same problem

Your right in thinking the situation is different between the USA and Australia, but the different isn't 4ish vs 4,000 (it's really 100ish vs 4,000).

The immediate reason is that Australia solves these problems from the top down. We've done it over and over in banking. Credit cards were pushed down decades ago (ergo, we haven't needed cheques in that long), then EFTPOS with Chip&Pin (no signature) was pushed down, plus a list of other things. The latest thing (in the last few years) is the Reserve bank of Australia's new payments platform: https://www.rba.gov.au/payments-and-infrastructure/new-payme.... Osko is a instantaneous bank transfer system for us retail plebs that is built on top of it. Meanwhile the USA hasn't pulled this off once.

If you look deeper at Australia, you will see it isn't just banking. There was a recent headline here about engineered stone being banned. Wiping out an industry was Australias solution to it killing too many tradesmen in their 30's. In general strong federal level laws aimed at creating efficient markets is something the Australian system does, and it's something Australia's seem very comfortable with. The USA on the other hand is just hopeless at it, and the USA voting public phobia's about "big government" boil to the surface every time they try. An example of something the rest of the world pulled on that the USA can't: metric. And without that sort of leadership from the top you have no hope of corralling a herd of banks so they move in the same direction.
Capital punishment is already legal in 27 states and at the federal level. It’s really about pushing the Overton window to where it is acceptable for corporate harm beyond a certain threshold. Certainly not revenge porn, simply proportionality. Otherwise, malfeasance of this scale will be with us in perpetuity with little to no consequences for those perpetrating it with no remorse. There is a need for genuine limited liability, but also the ability to forcibly pierce that protection for bad faith actors.

Cats typically roamed free in Eurasia and Africa, where small wildcats were common millions of years before humans ever showed up. This means large populations of feral/semi-domestic cats aren't as disruptive to the ecosystem: birds and rodents have already evolved specifically in response to predation from small cats. This is not true in Oceania, and only barely true in the Americas: bobcats really aren't the same thing as small cats since they are much more widely dispersed. (Especially feral domestic cats, which mostly kill for fun, and live in big dense colonies.)

Slope soaring is just riding a current that's going up because it hits a slope. Dynamic soaring is taking advantage of two masses of air of different speeds so you get a bunch of free airspeed as soon as you cross their barrier.

Say you have a glider with a 2 m/s headwind. If you cross into a wind mass that's a 10m/s headwind, you've just gained 8 m/s of airspeed for free. Rinse and repeat.

> We need to phase out cats and dogs completely. This saddens me deeply because I love my dog but the damage these animals do to the environment is so large I don't think I can truly fathom.

What? That's a ridiculous "solution".

I'm absolutely in favor of mandatory spay/neuter, and much stricter regulation of breeders. (I would say, outlaw breeders entirely, but I don't think laws like that will fly with voters when it comes to dogs, at least.)

But I don't think "eliminate two species of animal" is a good solution to anything, outside of some narrow cases (disease-carrying mosquitos). And regardless, the idea that it would be politically possible to ban having cats or dogs as pets... that's naive, at best.

I agree that uncontrolled breeding is a problem, but "phasing out" cats and dogs entirely is not a solution; that too is barbaric.

I don’t know if this is supposed to be a dunk or something, but - yes, my grandma lived to 93 because of modern medicine. I was happy she did. That’s the tension: things that are good for me personally can be bad for the world at large (I mean, not my grandma’s longevity specifically - she was a lovely woman), and a big part of emotional and intellectual maturity is recognizing that indeed the world is full of tradeoffs and I can’t have everything I want.

> all it really means is saving more lives from more things that kill them.

No, that’s not all it really means, not in our society, not in our time. As Ted Chiang put it, “Most of our fears or anxieties about technology are best understood as fears or anxiety about how capitalism will use technology against us,” and that’s also the case here: the outcome of this technology isn’t that my grandma lives to 150, it’s that Vladimir Putin lives to 150. If my grandma needs to die at 90 so we don’t have immortal god-emperors - if I have to die at 90 - then so be it. Some day we may live in a world where longevity technology is an unalloyed good, but until that day, we don’t get to just put the good stuff on the ledger and ignore the bad stuff.

I agree discovery vs. manufacture isn't that big of distinction. If a rock table was almost fit for purpose, but not quite, you might do something to make it work, or if it's way too different to work as a table, you wouldn't consider it at all. In any event, human intention is taking raw material (trees, rocks that are almost table) and using it according to an intention, and the intention is what makes it a table.

This was solved a decade ago in the enterprise world with an attachable bracket on the end of the card that fits into a slot at a fixed width so it is supported in the vertical axis by both the standard rear case slot and the new support on the forward side.

Nvidia had provisions on their Quadro's to bolt this bracket that all HP Z-machines used and I believe some Dell workstations as well.

The fact that these new cards are even heavier than a K5000 and yet there are not supplied attachment points for such additional support in some way sucks. It comes down to the fact that self-build PC case manufacturers aren't working together and with card suppliers to have a standard- nay, ANY provision for additional support.

Unlike in the enterprise world where the entire system is engineered at an extremely high level with communication from the vendors with the OEM (like a HP Z 800 machine).

That's it. It's not like HP had some magical patent on "hey just have a little extra bit of metal slide into a slot ad a fixed width inline with the PCIe slot". In fact, they made it extra-wide and attached to the hard drive bays in the Z800/820/840s as if they were anticipating modern cards to be bigger than the Keplers/Pascal cards at the time.

That said, the level of cracking shown here on the FR4 of these 4090s can only be the result of some pretty significant impact loads. These things were installed unsupported in a case and got dropped off the back of a truck, for sure. Or they were actually pulled out of a dumpster by an employee at a facility that had literally been doing fatigue vibe table tests on machines for an OEM...

I was a high schooler when I was learning to code. I had a laptop but only the breaks between classes to do it. So what I'd usually do was get up in the morning and learn something, then sporadically practice and experiment with it for small chunks of time. I'd usually start by adding comments for what I want to do so I don't lose track.

I don't know if this is applicable to actual computer science but worked for me for the programming part.

Apps like Enki also have helped me but not in a really transformative way.

In some cases (luck of the data, but often when encoding ASCII without padding) you won't see the non alphanumeric characters (62nd and 63rd place) in Base64 either. So you can't always tell the difference between Base64, Base64Url, Xxencode, or B64.

"Hello, world!" = `SGVsbG8sIHdvcmxkIQ` (base64, base64url), `BG4JgP4wg65RjQalY6E` (Xxencode), or `G4JgP4wg65RjQalY6E` (b64). A legitimate reason for choosing B64 over Base64 would be: it maintains ASCII sort-order.

Any language that has to deal with HTTP (or MIME) has to encode/decode Base64 in order to support some headers (eg Basic auth) and features (binary data from a form submission). There is no similar HTTP need for Base32, so perhaps it's less surprising it's not in the standard library?
It’s not about punishment. That’s the core of my comment. Make it so horrible for the shareholders and owners.
> It's hard not to be cynical when the risk and time investment is on our side while the profits are on their side.

I guess we just don't see things the same way. I'm not a business owner. You're seeing things black and white. "The profits are on their side" is a black and white statement. You do get some of the profits through your salary and sometimes bonus, stock options or RSUs (depending on the company). It sounds like you're unhappy with your share that you don't feel is worth doing any "extra" effort. See my other comments here. You need to find companies where you feel this balance is fair, so you don't get taken advantage of.

> You want us to "work hard" for the chance of getting a raise or a promotion? We're working, not playing the lottery. If we wanted these risks, we'd start a company.

I don't want you to do anything. I am just sharing my experience getting promoted and then as a manager how I have seen other people get promoted. You're free to take or dismiss my experience of course.

You're severely misunderstanding magnitudes of risk. I was only a "business owner" for a brief period early in my career. I did not get a salary at all when I did not make a sell or found a customer, no social security, vacations, or any benefits to speak of. That is way closer to "playing the lottery". I did not have a good social safety net and decided to become an employee. As an employee you get a "guaranteed" salary and benefits for doing some work most of the times for white collar workers in fixed schedule. A "cushy job". You don't get a guaranteed promotion or more salary for the same work however. Do you really think you're owed promotions or increased benefits for doing the same work?

> How about these managers write down these rewards in the employment contract instead?

What do you imagine they'd write? what kind of guarantees about increased salary or promotions do you think they can make in a contract?

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. This isn’t about policing valid opinions, it’s about identifying what is currently a massive and obvious trend of actual fraud. Requiring authentication for reviews and products is the first step, and isn’t that hard, we know how to do it already. Amazon is choosing to allow reviews and products by people they know are bad actors. They look the other way and allow fruadsters to be anonymous because there are no consequences yet. They’re not imposing consequences on fraudulent sellers or reviewers, even though they could.

I don’t believe the main problem is that they don’t know how to identify fraud, I think the main problem is they don’t have any real incentive to.

True, but it's a false equivalence, and one I often see used from people unaware of the ease of contracting this out on a fractional basis.

I used to make a living cleaning up after people who thought cloud was easier, who ended up often spending a fortune untangling years of accumulated cruft that just never happened for my non-cloud customers.
