Climate Change worked by counting frequency of events! Oh wait. It is an off year.

It shows by adjusting for CPI and inflation! Oh wait. Some cities are just getting bigger.

It is obvious by increasing temperature reading stations by 14,200 since 1973. Oh wait, most are near heat-producing urban areas.

It doesn’t show when adjusted by population density as well, … yet.

Don’t worry, climatologists are still looking for that Holy Grail (statistical outlier).
Tesco posted a profit of about £1.5bn in 2022. Where exactly do you think this comes from?

I know about loss leaders, but I severely doubt meal deals are loss leaders considering they are placed at the front of the shop and customers often come in to buy them at lunch time. They are competing with the likes of Gregg's here.

It doesn't matter about the individual technicalities. What matters is the bottom line. You aren't beating Tesco.

Wrote an article a while back about the idea of creating flow-charts like that based on your actual smartly-minified wireframes. https://medium.com/proof-of-concept/the-story-of-a-true-ux-t...

I eventually want to incorporate something like this in my tiny ux app (https://www.tinyux.app), but have not yet gotten around to it.

It would be so cool if you could start either from the flow, page or component perspective, but all are essentially using the same source of truth.

Had a presentation once to a room of UX designers who really liked the vision and concept. Then I showed them my prototype with vim-like text commands to manipulate wireframes and got a lot of blank stares. Still makes me laugh to think about that mismatch of expectations.
More than enough by what measure? That constant hammering hasn't yet translated to political will to actually turn the ship around.
Nope but close enough :-)
Article says OpenGL 3.1 but it's actually supported OpenGL 3.3 since November. That's a big difference as 3.2 is baseline for a lot of apps that use OpenGL.
I was with you until I read your example: Replacing a something that is almost pure energy to your body with something that is pure energy won't probably make a big change on how healthy your diet is. If you are giving yourself insulin spikes between meals eating candy, your body will not thank you.
I needed that "time out", too. Weekly.

But your spouse/partner may also need to be able to get away. (My wife did, though not as often as me.) Maybe you could tag-team breaks for each other?
Its interesting to see all the comments about work/family separation. I am definitely not a role model in terms of maintaining a good split but I’m also not sure how possible it is for me as a nursing mum. Back when I was pumping, I had to think about that constantly through the day. And now I’m done with that but still nurse in the afternoons. Maybe once I’m done with pregnancy and nursing and all that, I’ll be able to have a clean switch.
Where are the data charts attempting to quantify quality of care? To me, this article reads, "French citizen pay more for a meal on average", but meanwhile the comparison is of a population eating fast food everyday. The article feels like an emotional argument saying "We pay 2x for the same service" but I'm highly doubtful of the "same service" aspect of it.

Don't get me wrong, the data I've seen showing Americans are one of the most unhealthy populations in the developed world is clear. I'm saying the article is unscientific, not that the American people are healthy, or have great health care service.
I suppose it depends on what the purpose of children is. I’ll be a bit provocative and say that I think that they are largely status symbols - they need to go to good schools and onto high status careers in order to bring as much prestige to the family as possible.

There are only a few years of their lives where they need constant care but the costs of all their education will be enormous later in their lives and so a couple that has two earners will be able to out compete a single earner household for all the expensive late-childhood/early-adulthood expenses that will come up.
Recycling is complicated, because only certain polymers can be recycled, then it has to be separated from contaminants, transported, sorted and re-shipped to re-use facilities (often in China). A lot of improvements are needed for this to be both lucrative and effective [0]. Then there's the microplastics that still spread across the globe.

> We have cities, but a lot of our major cities juet have nothing like the population of other nation's major cities.

I don’t think this is it. European cities aren’t that big compared to American ones. So Spokane is larger than Geneva. The problem is there isn’t much in terms of healthcare between Spokane, Boise, and Minneapolis.
I've dropped my archaic thinking on what constitutes a unit test or an integration test. I now seldom write what most people consider unit tests, in the "one class, one test" sense.

Instead, I classify units of logical coherence and write unit tests for those. I write financial trading systems - not hft, but still latency sensitive. I will test an order through our pipeline as a unit of work. This will necessarily touch multiple classes. So as an example, a test will cover orders which are accepted and then filled, orders which are rejected, and so on.

Many people would classify these as integration tests, and to be fair, I don't really care what you name them. To me these are much more valuable than the traditional "one class, one test" mechanism because it means I am free to refactor the internals of our pipeline as much as I want with very low impact on the test code.

One of the whole points of test code, that I think has been lost, is that it should be there to give you confidence in the correctness of your application under change. Writing "one class, one test" is a bad way to achieve this.
This is a big deal. Doctors are constantly telling patients they are “deconditioning” and encouraging exercise as a result. There is a large controversy of exercise clinical trials for that reason.

> The crypto currency craze while definitely was a horrible phase, it did end up giving america a lot of advantages, it incurred a ton of demand for american GPU tech which helped it advance faster and have more cash reserves to take risks, this allowed usa to get a headstart to AI which if it uses well, will usher in a new era of innovation for you guys. You might argue that we could just spent 1/20th the amount in gpu market and gotten the same result, but truth is prolly wouldn’t have happened that way.

> You can also tax the shit out of large capital in a non-linear fashion which, unlike inflation, will not hit the small savers.

This will never happen, it’ll cause all of the money to flee out of america overnight, it’s the reason why usa and europe is desperately trying to increase the minimum corporate tax rate globally. In a post globalised world, it’s no longer as simple as just pulling a lever.

> which is the only way to really drive out the oligopoly

The way to drive oligopoly out is by breaking up oligopolies and bringing competition into the market, usa has done this several times, standard oil, AT&T, etc.

You cant shove people’s wallet out into the ocean, and tell them they either spend it or lose it, they’ll panic, they’ll scream for safety, if they cant keep the money in bank, where will they invest ? The most safest and established businesses, ala those oligopolies.

You cant force them to spend and then expect them to start gambling left and right, they’ll instead just want to find safer shores.

The only reliable way to breaking up monopolies is to break up monopolies.

> just a rose-tinted glance at our current situation in post-capitalism.

You’re right, after reading a few more responses i realised i made the comment a bit too hastily and impulsively not seeing through what everything i said actually meant.

But I also don’t think, it’s that “wrong” even the most greedy want to invest in the sane things, if people invested in so many unsustainable businesses, it means there weren’t enough sustainable options to put in that money in the first place.

If USA had not created that 0% interest rate environment, it wouldn’t have been able to take any advantage of the petro dollar benefits.

Initially USA had expected the middle east to invest all their earnings into america, that they got paid with usd for oil, instead most of the money went to asia. That was just the first sign of trouble in usa.

That along with stupid government policies around offshoring so much production to a communist country like China didnt help either.

So yes, i agree with you, it was a bad move, but it wasn’t VCs that created america’s impending ruin, its government policy.

The difference between us is that I don’t think Israel is trying to "repay blood", but is protecting its citizens and is attempting to rescue hostages and to destroy a militant terrorist organisation that uses civilian infrastructure for its attacks.

"even" the BBC that refuses to call Hamas terrorists?

I will listen to other countries talking when they are faced with rocket fire from civilan objects, while their citizens are held hostage. I’d listen to what Ukraine has to say, for example.

Using language such as "IDF murdered Israeli hostages" is plain antisemitic, like so many similar small things. For what is the definition of "murder" – it’s "the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another." So you are saying that in the heat of the battle, while Hamas operatives are constantly using speakers with calls for help in Hebrew recorded (https://www.ynetnews.com/article/rj0qiptia) and are attacking without wearing uniform (breaking the law of war with just that already), the soliders "murdered" Israeli hostages. That is the perfect example of the antisemitic approach to discussing this conflict.
I don’t know that “care more about the homeless” is accurate, but I think “care more about human beings than scooters” probably is.

In either case, solving homelessness is probably more complicated than scooter litter.

>Medical expenses are not like buying a toaster that you can decide to put off or buy whenever you want or never if that’s what you prefer.

Some.

Not all medical cases need instant contact. Proof? Months or years long wait times.

Also for me 99% of the medical expenses are around 10-20% of what I pay every month. Meanwhile those medical expenses arent regular.

>Your “how I want to use it” is completely out of your control and based on when you fall sick, get injured, need advice, etc. Nonenof which are choices you make.

So how people do it with cars?

Cars break often, especially when poorer people must use used cars

They often rely on them to get to work, so they not always can delay fix endlessly

You just have backup of just in case money.

>. However, if you’re dying on the street because you aren’t paying for medical care society will step in. So there’s also a burden you’re imposing on society based on your choices that are not involved in most non medical situations.

Thats the reason.

Code is an asset once proven to be so.

I don't get the obsession with trying to condense this down to a single concept.

Code is necessary, sometimes we write good code that turns out to be an asset in both the short and long terms, sometimes we write mediocre code which is a short-term asset to our business goals but in the long term turns out to be debt. Sometimes we write bad code that will probably never justify itself as an asset because of the problems it a) causes and b) requires human intervention to support, patch or delete.
This situation is media is nothing new, but its drastically amplified by digital media platforms. When journalists could spent weeks or months on a major piece and publish it in a newspaper they didn't have constant, immediate feedback. At best they could look at paper sales and industry recognition.

Today journalists see very quickly what lands and what doesn't. They can even A/B test headlines to game attention. The shorter feedback loop can also easily lead to a focus on what one can publish today to get shares and likes, losing much of the integrity that may likely have been on the table when the work stands on its own and you can't immediately watch analytics as soon as its published.
You are very typical for a twitter reader, I’d say.

They do use a chemical primer for making Teflon stick, but also surface roughening, like how inert glass glaze sticks to pottery.

Though glass and pottery are both ceramics so I believe there is a chemical/material bond as well that doesn't take a primer. But you also have things like porcelain sink that is ceramic on metal, and even porcelain metal cookware that are too and would defy your statement of inert on metal == bad automatically.

Some metals have a self oxidized coating that is inert and stuck on, for example titanium cookware used in hiking.
I've been a long time user of tailwind UI and bought the all in bundle two years ago. Especially with the education discount I was eligible back then (thank you to the creators for that!) the purchase was an absolute no-brainer for me.

> It has features required for the Real Estate business.

Such as?

Just some unsolicited feedback - I can't tell from anywhere on your landing page what this actually does differently for Real Estate businesses vs any old generic CRM.

A lot of superlatives and efficiency promises, but no details about why I, as a Real Estate professional, should choose this specifically.

In particular, the big header of "Find a CRM specifically designed to meet the
requirements of real estate professionals" is followed by 4 "features" that have nothing to do with real estate (Unlimited Free, No User Limit, No License Fees, Open Source). I would put your real estate specific features here.

It's also a little confusing that the landing page header appears to be for a web development company?

If anything, doesn't this article have hopeful notes about society? Sure, there's something to be said about trusting a platform too much; but there's also the part where, without that Facebook group, these women would almost certainly have never found justice.

I also lament the idea that we should keep our heads on a swivel. Being a victim forever, or forever expecting to become one, sounds like an utterly terrible way to live. Having strong boundaries and knowing when to say no is really important, but I don't think that's nearly the same thing.
But could you then maybe try to explain me your post once more cause maybe I missed it. I thought you were saying that the cosmopolitan people don’t produce valuable things compared to normal labour aka white collar vs blue collar. For which I responded that ofc the educated people of the cities produced values but at a more complex often times abstract level. For instance information technologies, chemistry, medicine to name a few.

So did I missed your point?

Even now becoming a doctor is a dubious financial trade off in the states. Medical school and residency is going to take a huge toll, you’ll be underwater a long time before that $350k comes in. However, a SWE can make that without such an investment and without such a crazy work life. So now reduce that to $200k but with all the same medical school debt and stress requirements.

A lot of areas already have trouble attracting doctors at all because they can’t compete with the money offered by bigger richer cities. If you want cheaper doctors, something else will have to give, or supply will just plummet.
It's not the Yarkovsky effect. The Yarkovsky effect is where a body emits photons (which have momentum, and therefore change the momentum of the emitting body).

This idea is using incoming photons to heat the body to the point where it vaporizes part of the surface. The emitted atoms have momentum.
And it's going to get better:

Isn't it more useful to think of code not as an asset but as a liability? As in, instead of code being "produced", you "spend" lines of code when you solve a problem, i.e. "Getting X amount of business value cost us Y lines of code"?

As for the phrase "technical debt": While I like the metaphor, in my experience, most people use it as a synonym for "bad code", so I recommend making sure everyone agrees on the same definition before using it.
> How does recycling reduce plastic pollution?

So the solution is to make more plastic? If we're not reducing the amount of plastic we're using, we can at least make less, by reusing the plastic we've already created. Take plastic conduits, they are mostly made from recycled windows, but still last a heck of a long time, that is going to be the better option than making all new plastic for them. We also reuse plastic bottles all the time, 87% of soft drink bottles are reused and made into new bottles (in Denmark), so we'd need to create a lot more plastic overall to compensate if they where not reused.

On a lower level, having to recycle your plastic at home makes you painfully aware how much plastic you drag into your home. Ideally that would mean that you "buy" more, but mostly you don't have any control over that. Everything is packaged in way more layers than strictly needed. The amount of plastic we have to sort on a daily basis is insane. It has made me look for products that are packaged in less plastic, but it's an uphill battle.

Honestly it's refreshing to see someone with an audience like patio11 pushing back on the "Intuit lobbying is the reason US taxes are complicated" narrative that's so popular.
Same for other countries in eastern block, Soviet union was very keen to erase individualities of given society and create 'uniform communist people'. Life was simple, even trivial - state gave work, you went straight to jail if you refused. No organized crime, nothing to steal since everything was owned by state. No hard drugs, just endless misery of alcohol and heavy smoking. So even sizeable roma population which now has some 98% unemployment rate were all working, even if in completely meaningless jobs.

Government often also gave accommodation in those tolerable-at-the-time concrete flats. I meant allowed people to take a loan for state-built accommodation, you still had to pay it back. Same for cars, my parents waited few years since they were not apparatchiks (just university-educated folks which was already a bad place to be in eyes of regime, they had 1/2 salary of a guy digging ditches and struggled to get by financially), no way to choose color or anything else, take it or bye. Of course if you were known for causing troubles then you were eternally at the end of queue. Same for stupid things like... a couch. I wish I was joking.

People were often dangerously naive, that's why when it fell 90s were so brutal - wolves always making part of population stepped from the shadows and stole everything, killed anybody in their way, often in gruesome ways.

Sounds familiar? Every single post-soviet and eastern block (aka nuclear battlefield as planned by soviets for WWIII that never came) ended up like that. I still firmly blame soviet union for all this, and lets be honest current Russia is trying to bring back those 'good' old times desperately anyway it can. And for some reason those pesky satellites don't want to lose that stupid freedom so easily. No idea why
This should be GDP adjusted, since most of that money goes back in the country, paying healcare workers. Both the US and Europe employs people in the pharmaceutical and medical equipment industry, and research. So really, gross numbers don't make much sense for the sake of comparison. People in high GDP per capita countries are better paid, duh.

And here, if you adjust for GDP, the effect disappears. And in fact, in rich countries, it is normal for healthcare expenses to go up in proportion to GDP since health is a basic need and not a solved problem. That is, rich countries can give food and shelter to their entire population but there is no panacea.

It doesn't mean it is good for the US, but it is a dubious statistic to pick when you want to highlight a disfunctional healthcare system. Try life expectancy instead.
