That seems paranoid and irrational. I can say anything and criticize anyone from a Western country without issues (as long as the criticism is valid, not libel). I can't do that in China or Russia, which are the least Westernized countries.

That's how you get the Prop 65 warning nonsense.

Besides, chemists themselves have varying ideas of personal safety, depending on what they work with and how flammable/explosive/toxic/all of the above it is. The only real solution, unfortunately, is for the regulatory authorities to make and publish clear evidence based decisions.
The claim that it is only cosmopolitans or progressives who advance progress and the course of the world, which is made without any evidence and is only an expression of your own bias and preference, cannot be made in this way. You neither really know who worked on it under what conditions and with what personality, nor do you have the right to attribute to them values that you personally like.
It is precisely these unjustified attacks that in reality do not advance the world, but rather destroy it from within, because they pretend to have something, namely objective validity, but in reality they are just very personal evaluations and ideas that are imposed on others in a way that can clearly be described as arrogant and insulting. Anyone who loses people's favor in this way need not be surprised if they turn their backs on them.

I know (I have family there, and near the beaches).

But "cold" is relative. I've had temps as low as 14℃ (57F) in Chiang Rai, Pai and near Udon Thani. And while that may be "freezing" to people used to tropical climates, that's shorts-and-terrace-outdoor-yay temps where I'm from (North Western Europe).

I found it alienating to see people with woolen hats, mittens, thick jackets and scarves in Thailand, when for me the temps were T-Shirt and shorts grade.

edit: Though, reversed, another alienating sight was a kiosk with Thai Takeaway on a parking lot in Åre ("north-Sweden, south-lapland) under 2m snow and ice with outside temps of -18℃.

Completely agree: recently I wanted some peppermints, and I noticed the sugar had been replaced by "glucose syrup".

I didn't buy them, and I've done this for other products.

Are companies losing sales, which will make them "degrade their product" more as their revenues decline, which will lose sales, and so-on?

Form follows function, do we really expect large corporations to be able to enforce a patent like this given that it _doesn't really matter_?

Apple didn't come up with anything new or incredible, it lends nothing to their brand or to the function of the device. There's no negative impact on Apple if their competition uses the same rounded corner radius.

Saying so otherwise is just playing into the Apple vs Samsung vs Everyone else team based Robert measuring contest where everyone waves the flag of their favourite corporation that they love so much.

The units are disingenuously applied in Tesco at least though which makes it difficult to compare.

For example you might have price per sht (well you need at least 4 per sh*t ;) but there will also be a 2 for 1 offer with no price per sht and then a multi pack with no offer on it with a different price per sht. So you have three factors to compare to work out how many sh*ts per sht are best value. And then there's the confusion of loyalty card only prices.

I have got to the point I'd rather shop at Waitrose because they don't pull that sht.

On that note I think I'll go to Morrisons today and be mugged differently.

I actually think most non-fiction books are not worth the time, and you'd be better off reading a summary of the ideas and/or just going directly to an encyclopedic resource on the underlying subject matter.

The contemporary publishing industry is designed around expanding an often very simple idea into a book-length treatment, typically to support the author's book tour and consulting career. It is not designed to create beautifully-written books that are worth reading in their entirety.

None of this applies to fiction, in case that was unclear. It also doesn't apply as much to biographical-style books that offer some insight into the author's life and mindset.

That may well take multiple lifetimes, greatly reducing its impact. Mere increases in computing power will not break 256 bit Elliptic Curve cryptography for centuries.

> but wouldn't able to accurately contextualise the actual content of the video based on the users question which is the focus on the tool

Are you sure this is what users want? Semantic search is not appropriate for all situations.

> adding a traditional form of full text fuzzy search which will help with some of the ranking problems

Full text fuzzy search is NOT a performant search engine and is NOT related to ranking or relevance. Ranking is an independent process after finding matching results.

Semantic search would make more sense in the context of ranking rather than pure search. E.g. you use traditional search to find matching documents then semantic search on matches to rank them.

> Ranking is a huge topic by itself, which beyond similarity/text matching, other topics like SEO, popularity, etc plays a huge part

Based on my mediocre understanding of ranking, basic ranking is generally not about any of these factors. Presumably because they are too slow and computationally intensive. Maybe there are multiple layers of ranking for these different features though.

My understanding is that basic ranking is/was more about metrics like TF-IDF. I’m sure there are more advanced modern techniques, but also likely more complicated.

Search is a ridiculously big and complex topic. If you want this to be more than a toy project I think it would be wise to focus on much smaller sliver and have a much clearer value prop.

You are currently trying to tackle multiple big problems simultaneously.

>and parking a bunch of scooters in a parking spot takes up much less space than Citi bike docking stations or Google bikes or cars.

If only that's where these scooters were usually found...

For commuting these things are less convenient than an electric bike, more expensive, less quick, and less reliable.

In European cities these companies catered mostly to tourists using them for fun rather than actually replacing cars.

While locals had to deal with these scooters being absolutely littered everywhere as well as the riders ignoring all traffic rules and treating it like a n expensive toy.

If people want to replace their car they would use public transport or an electric bike. Or just buy one of these scooters directly.

Democracy gives us freedom.

And that freedom carries the weight that now our decisions matter more, and help from our peers is less, and we can make shitty decisions that affect our lives. We can be stuck in dead-end jobs, and it will be our doing. We can be addicted to many things, like gambling, and it is our responsibility to breakout from that.

So, in a sense you are right, but in another, it's up to each person to change eternal repetition.

We are free, but only if we act on that freedom.

It still helps, though, unless the shrinkflation hits the shelves for all competing products at the same time. If one brand starts with a higher per unit price, they will lose some customers comparing the per unit price with other brands.
> Store's own brand is like 20-30% cheaper across the board. How is this even possible?

No need for marketing costs. Also companies compete for shelf space (sometimes they will have to pay to have their products placed in a favorable spot).
Also they buy BULK. When (e.g. Tesco) buys bread they issue the recipe they want and they guarantee LARGE volumes.

Regarding the comparisons, in EU they got labels that give you cost per 100ml or 100gr or per item.

I love tons of strange rappers. I think what rubs me the wrong way about Kosher is that he feels inauthentic in several ways.

A supposedly Jewish rapper talking about killing people and embracing that lifestyle seems weird to me. The fact that he looks awkward and uncomfortable when he tries to somewhat dance to the beat strikes me. And the way he speaks also seems very much like a put on. Like he's intentionally trying to speak in a stereotypically black manner but it doesn't come natural to him.

Generally, I get the impression that he's a white skater kid with a shtick. And being Jewish feels like part of that shtick to me.

Happy to be wrong, and I don't hate the guy. I'm not going to go around knocking people for liking him. But it does feel like something you like in middle school and then grow out of, only to go back and wonder why you enjoyed it.

Looks elegant and much nicer than eGroupware, but eGroupware offers a lot more functions, though. Visited the demo site of eGroupware, I can not shake off the feeling the UX and its GUI essentially remains the same in the last 15 years. eGroupware is functional but its GUI is unfortunately awkward.
I disagree.

I think this desire to belong to a group is a very strong instinct, and it will be the strongest during our teenager years, up until we are 25 or so.

It is a biological imperative, not just a cultural construct.

Now, the size of the groups we are capable to create depends on our technology and culture, of course, but not the desire to belong to one.

Therefore, we have sports fans, anime and sci-fi subcultures, and so on.
2022, 3.2M on Cloud per year, 1M of that goes to S3 Storage.

Intend to move the $2.2M per year out of Cloud. Spend $600K on Server, amortised over 5 years. $120K per year. $60K per month on Rack, Power ( And I assume bandwidth judging from their wording ). Total = $720K + $120K = $840K.

$2.2M - $0.84M = $1.36M saving per year. $6.8M over 5 years.

One of the problem is that Compute reduction savings hasn't been passed on to customer in the recent 4-5 years.

Also worth pointing out according to recent podcast, 37signals makes tens of millions of net profits per year.

I think there is an opportunity of Cloud Exit where bare metal purchasing and handling could and should be much simpler and automatic. Instead of you owning nothing or it is simply an abstraction. One should be able to paid and has your own server shipped to you if you want it.

I don't think that the article isn't sensible, from what I saw it seemed quite well-written and the site usually has good quality content.

My journey has been from jekyll to Hugo to plain HTML.

A blog post can be mostly <h1>, <p>, <b>, and <img> tags. I (mostly) use internal CSS so each post is self contained. Creating a new post is just a copy/paste of the last one and changing the words.

If I wanted a fancy style, I could export one from any template-based theme but I use something minimal. Keeping it simple helps me focus on writing instead of plug-in management and endless tweaking of settings.

In theory I'll run into issues if I want to restyle the entire blog, but I'm happy to preserve old posts as-is. If I wanted to edit a header or footer I could use bulk search/replace.

Occasionally I've wanted to add some extra interactivity or a one-off style. This is straightforward in HTML (assuming you know it) versus a generator that can get in your way with too many layers of abstraction.

The tyranny of the feedback loop: side effects of team decisions
I agree, this was done some time ago. It's still rather difficult to come up with a good measure because:

* the number of qbits that can be used to construct a circuit is not always the same as the number of qbits on the processors

* the number of iterations that a circuit can be run for is often obscured

* the amount of time and effort required to construct a circuit is often obscure

* error rates - as you mention

Simple formulas for these things is not a good measure - if an algorithm needs 10000 iterations to work then increasing the number of qbits by 100x when the max iterations is 100 will not get you a working machine.

The real problem is that this is all live science being done as commercial development. None of these machines are close to being useful (as in 20 years away). The science is brilliant though, the capabilities created by the skill that is being developed in creating these devices is going to be very useful in the future. It's just that the money is going into it under false pretenses. For China and the USA this is actually a good thing - it's driving the basic science and that needs to happen somehow. There will be dividends in the future for all of us. For places like Canada, France, Japan and the UK its bad though. These economies need to reap benefits in the next decade from their current investments. In this sense QC money is just poured out onto the ground.
From the article:

Another day another "journalist" posts about Tesla in a misleading way.

>But it comes amid news that Tesla recently recalled more than 2 million Tesla vehicles over a safety issue related to its Autopilot software — specifically, a feature called Autosteer, which is part of the driver-assistance system. The recall affects nearly all the cars Tesla has sold in the United States.

The "recall" is an OTA update.

The "safety issue with autopilot" is that people apparently do not need enough IQ to trick it that you pay attention. In other words, people are the issue, stupid people.
UK schools will not be required to use students' preferred pronouns
Exactly. One of the reasons why the West feels so empty and artificial is because it has lost this complex understanding of the world and people and acts only according to simple maxims, logical sentences or final conclusions. In principle, all of life has been reduced to the pure logic of political economy and statistics. Language, thinking, arts and freedom become impoverished. Now that life is so simple and can be controlled politically and economically, even the existential problems are being reinterpreted. They suddenly become logical problems themselves, solvable through calculation. Suddenly they are overcome with optimism that they can in principle be solved, and for everyone equally. So we don't have to worry about anything anymore and can just trust that someone will find the algorithm for it.

I think the only reason people can't read between the lines anymore is because they're too quick to get hung up on words that can be used as criticism. This destroys mutual understanding immensely.

Also a quality of such cheaper own brands is lower. Tesco Value is garbage, but they have premium brands which are not cheaper than popular external brands and with decent quality.

>Citation? Haven't we seen a rise in despair and loneliness (and ultimately in people dying of these things), even as people's material condition got better?

Have we really? or are you citing poorly quantified media narratives of this? I'd love to see a solid analysis of human happiness today, overall, across several specific metrics, vs. the same metrics say 100 years ago. Without both, anyone who says people are generally less happy now (because random social media or formal media dramatic clickbait garbage source said so) might just as well be full of shit.

In other words, you're claiming a sort of counterfactual I argue and I'd like to see your citation for it.
