The type of nepotism that you were hoping to get you in isn't actually a good thing. A distributed system of interviewers and decision makers is more consistent and less biased. It's one of the reasons why people are able to switch teams quickly and easily -- everyone is held to the same standard and can be relied on. This is a good thing. Sucks that you didn't get in though.
Striving to cut low performers and sometimes getting it wrong is orders of magnitude better than randomly cutting people, gutting high performers, and ruining confidence to other high performers that working hard will be appreciated.

So yes, it doesn't matter which metric you want to use, but use something that is directionally correct with being a low performer, and get rid of those people. You might get some wrong but for the most part, people will be happier that the coasters and stragglers are gone.
> iOS and Android taken together are clearly a monopoly though.

That's deceptive language that undermines your argument.

A monopoly is a market with the "absence of competition", creating a situation where a specific person or enterprise is the only supplier of a particular thing.

If you said "duopoly" your argument would be more easily entertained or if you said "cartel". However, neither of these two characterizations stand up to scrutiny either.

Now open that can of popcorn and watch two corporations trying to defend their own turd.

Follistatin 344 is a research chemical / peptide, most of what I take now is gray market. In some places there are new laws specifically targeting research peptides which would make it black market.

It’s getting easier and easier to synthesize peptides with things like desktop chemistry and recombinant synthesis. And there are things like DNA/RNA aptamers that can be printed out at scale with Oligo sequencers so if you know the recipe quite often you can find a jurisdiction that’ll make it for you in bulk for a reasonable price.

One analogy I like to tell people who are overcome with shock and horror at APL-family languages is to compare it to someone used to Latin-family human languages looking at something like Chinese for the first time --- it's likewise totally "unreadable" at first glance, but then you realise that over a billion people can read and write that language fluently every day, many of which may also struggle with a Latin-family language as they've never seen one before.

I'm not convinced that APL is "incredibly hard to scan" for someone who is familiar with it; it's just a matter of experience. While I'm by no means experienced in APL either, a visually similar thing I did frequently in my younger days was reading x86 instructions not in a disassembler nor hexdump, but displayed as CP437. It was not hard, and I can still remember ┤, PQRS, ═!, and ├ as "MOV AH", "PUSH AX; PUSH CX; PUSH DX; PUSH BX", "INT 21", and "RET" respectively. Here's an example:

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately in terms of illegal immigration in the USA. Both Democrats and Republicans clearly see illegal immigrants as future Democrat voters, no matter how they try and frame it to their current voters.

That’s all very shortsighted thinking when you consider the birth rate decline affecting most nations. So many countries will face problems of population shortage in the coming decades and the USA is getting millions of extra people from many of those countries.

Power hungry politicians are focused on either creating a permanent underclass of Democrat voters or trying to remove those potential Democrat voters. If the politicians actually cared about long term global dominance, they’d focus on integration and job training.

Unfortunately Toyota doesn't currently have plans to bring the 70 series over. I'd love to buy one but for better or worse there's not much of a market in the US for a stripped down Land Cruiser with no power windows, power locks, heated seats, etc.

The 4Runner and Lexus GX are also built on the LC platform and share tons of parts. If a 70 series fits your needs then either of those would be workable as well. Absolutely none of them would meet your stated fuel economy requirements however. :)

They announced the Roadster 7 years ago. I would say this falls squarely in the camp of "not delivered".

7 years is an entire model generation for the broader car industry. Other manufacturers have announced, delivered, and announced the next version of cars within this time period.

Your statement amounts to "They've delivered everything they've announced except the things they've announced and never delivered".

I disagree. The 787 has sold 1800 units already, and that for a wide-body, that is much more profitable. They will sell far more then that. Its in a segment where they beat Airbus. Only recently with the 330 NEO is Airbus even close to competitive.

The 787 was a great strategic move. The execution there was the problem, but despite that, it was the right choice.

From the article it seems to be analysis due to change in Pyongyang's behavior, coupled with intimate knowledge of the history of relations and personal experience with North Korea along with the current spate of aggressive attacks that seemed unthinkable by national actors. They're pointing to military preparations along with the fact that instead of waging an aggressive media campaign that usually accompanies their blackmail, they're being much more low key. Their language is much more vicious but less bombastic and attention seeking.

Some analysis of the troubling behavior from the NYTimes:

It has been evident for some time that something is afoot in North Korea. Kim invested his hopes in a 2019 summit with President Donald Trump in Hanoi — and that fell apart, leaving Kim humiliated. For decades under three leaders, North Korea sought a deal with the United States involving trade, prestige and economic benefits, but now it seems to have given up on that. Instead, it has bolstered ties with Russia, improved its nuclear weapon capabilities and escalated its rhetoric.

This week North Korea announced that it would take a much harsher approach to South Korea, changing its constitution and its longstanding policy on reunification, and would not respect traditional boundary lines. Kim said his army was making preparations for “a great revolutionary event,” which Carlin said is a phrasing that previously has been used to describe war with South Korea.
Kim said North Korea did not want war but suggested it may be coming: “The war will terribly destroy the entity called the Republic of Korea” — the official name for South Korea — “and put an end to its existence. And it will inflict an unimaginably crushing defeat upon the U.S.”

I reached out to other experts to gauge their views. Joel Wit, a longtime North Korea expert at the State Department, now at the Stimson Center, said he takes Carlin and Hecker “extremely seriously.” Wit said that a recent incident in which North Korea fired artillery shells near waters disputed with South Korea “sent chills down my spine” because it seemed a possible rehearsal for a major provocation.

The Biden administration has not focused on North Korea for understandable reasons: It is wrestling with many other urgent crises. It may be too late to engage the North diplomatically if it has decisively given up on the United States, Wit said, but he added that China is now so deeply alarmed about North Korea that Beijing might be of help.

Deborah Fikes, a member of the National Committee on North Korea, a coalition of people with deep experience with the country, said that many nonprofits that normally have working relations with North Korea have been unable even to get responses to their inquiries. She, too, is worried about the risk of conflict.

I am still using a PC I built in 2012, that is over twelve years of daily use. Honestly for 90% of task I do I see no reason to really upgrade it, though I did put a newish GPU in it last year because the old one was failing. I feel like personal computing power somewhat plateaued in the last decade or so which is fine with me really, less upgrades is less waste. I think phones will hopefully reach this point soon though sadly I don't see most of them lasting over a decade.
No capitalization is not a tangential annoyance, it is a major complain akin to complaining about a text written in one block (without anything distinguishing sentences and paragraphs from each other).
What is "uncomfortable" to one user will be very comfortable to another. One of the most common criticisms of LLM chatbots is their tendency to impose arbitrary moral/ethical standards in response to user prompts. This may be seen as some as a necessary protection against generating harmful content at scale, but by others as an unwarranted infringement of basic adult freedoms. It will be interesting to see how far Open AI will allow users to loosen the reins.

A guy who was involved in safety review of an early version of GPT-4 noted that the default state was for the model to be "purely helpful" (but also "totally amoral"), and in one case provided a kill list of named individuals during a chat with a fictional anti-AI radical. I generally resent having a bot preach at me, but I also wonder what the unintended consequences will be of allowing each individual user to set their own ethicality standards.

There's miscommunication somewhere (maybe in my writing): I agree, it would be an unhealthy relationship if it wasn't both ways.

But to pick on a specific word (perhaps not meant so specifically), I don't think reciprocation is necessary or optimal, though maybe it's sufficient. It's not a transaction or a deal; you help the other because you love them, not to get anything back. It doesn't have to be equal or balanced or 'fair', but both should see to it that their partner's needs are met - you still have needs. It's 'from each according to their ability, to each according to their need'. And abilties and needs will shift over the long term. One may need much more than the other. Sometimes one person will be much more able than the other. It will never balance out.

> If you "just do something to make your partner happy," knowing it makes you less happy, isn't that being dishonest?

If you mean that's all you are doing, then it sure isn't healthy (I suppose it could be honest if you are open about it with yourself and your partner). But do you make sacrifices like that? All the time, of course, with joy and love, and pride to be part of that relationship, and to know they do the same.

Anyway, that's one vision of a relationship, but I think it's a healthy one and I suspect some elements are pretty universal.
I always found it fascinating how universal copyright law is. Countries that can't agree on almost anything else have all deigned to give (okay, now that it's 2024, we can't use the rodent anymore, what's the new symbol of eternal copyright?) holy sanction for decades at a time.

Much of the heavy lifting is done by treaty-- not so much that anyone is asking legislatures directly to establish and extend copyright, but that it comes part-and-parcel with other international obligations.

Without the weight of such treaties, I wonder how many countries would do without an IP regime at all, especially if they don't see any IP-related export opportunities, so copyright and patent merely limits their ability to make cheaper versions of foreign goods.

At the end of the say, Southwest doesn't really have an alternative. If Boeing comes out with a next generation 737 replacement, that is significantly more fuel effizient and no new version of the 737, then what is Southwest gone do? Never upgrade their planes?

Go from all Boeing to all Airbus? Even when the 737 replacement has better economics then the A320?

If Boeing were smart they would have bought the C-Series, and added the C-500 model quickly. That would have been the perfect plane to get all the 737 people to switch. Instead Boeing handed those planes to Airbus, and now Airbus has 2 planes better then the 737 Aax.
