At what ratio does this process produce steel and Cl2? I'm guessing it's not a ratio of 20:1, but I don't know. The final paragraph of the article suggests it's not an awful ratio:

More and more of these "studies" are popping up, using the UK health database to make hypothesis to what we eat or drink, without really diving into the "why".

Gabriele Bella's painting is quite interesting.[1] For the uninitiated it looks rather like a modern painting. Reminds me of Giorgio de Chirico.

> fake numbers

no: - I'm using the numbers in the quote in my comment, and from the link I gave you.

Taxation rules create incentives and disincentives. If you earn a salary you are usually ignorant of those incentives because you don't experience them. From what I see the attitude is "fuck everyone who is better off than me".

Our rules need to encourage people to make NZ better off. Not have the incentive to stop once you have gotten a $20m home: https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/property/residential/lifestyle-p...

Anyone that owns businesses worth $20m is already taxed on income. Giving a big middle finger to people that build businesses is silly.

Disclosure: I am not anywhere near the big salary or wealth numbers we've mentioned.

>fires are more and more common and more and more devastating

Maybe some individual fires are more devastating, but the statistics don't really bear out the "more and more common" narrative.

According to the US forest service, the 5 year average for both number of fires and acreage burned is lower than the 10 and 15 year averages.

https://www.fs.usda.gov/managing-land/fire/wofambrief/firest...

Same story in Canada where the number of fires and total burned acreage has been decreasing slightly over the past four decades.

Again, duly noted that a person on the opposite side of a debate doesn't agree with me.

Shockingly enough, I'm uninterested in pandering to apologists :)

> Don't bring up nazis online, it's such a tired argument that people straight up ignore it.

But I thought it was possible to be a part of a hate group and also not be complicit in that group's abuse? Stand by your position or don't, not my problem. But you're being inconsistent.

I'm sorry, where was this question ever posed? Or is this more you assuming I should've spelled out my entire life story?

Unsure that a person doing nothing other than poo-pooing other people can cast the laziness stone.

We are working on a product aimed at enhancing the cost efficiency of cloud data warehouses, particularly for users of platforms like Google BigQuery. The core features are intelligent clustering suggestions, automatic materialized view creation, cost monitoring/alerts and more. We're in the phase of seeking potential users who can provide valuable feedback and help validate our idea. If this strikes a chord with your needs or interests, we'd be thrilled to connect with you. Please write me at rdanilin@gmail.com Thanks!

This is so true. Outside of maybe FAANG companies, a lot of places have wildly different expectations for that role. While one company may refer to the guy doing simple PPTs as a business analyst, others might call that a data analyst or a data scientist or something else. The pay probably mostly reflects the truth though outside of exceptions from office politics.
JavaCard has actually lost a lot of its popularity for ICC applications like credit cards and SIMs. It's hard to get good numbers from the industry, which tends towards secretive, but these days SELP and MULTOS seem more popular.

Of course the availability of multiple OS for these devices reinforces the idea that you can run a lot of things on some very low power devices these days.

At the same time, it's important to understand that JavaCard is a very constrained version of Java. Most JavaCard platforms have no support for IP networking, which would make it an unlikely source of DDoS (besides the fact that it requires relatively specialized developer tooling).
I imagine Cl2 being way easier to capture by virtue of its weight. It is also a very useful byproduct for downstream applications.

I'm sorry you feel insulted, that's mainly on you, this was not my intention. I suggest you reflect on why you feel insulted when an internet stranger calls a book (which you did not write) as propaganda.
That's because its just advice, not legal advice. Legal advice is something you get from an attorney that represents you. It creates a liability relationship between you and the attorney for the legal advice they did provide.
Of course, these things are assumed. Nobody actually claims systems to be universally applicable to everyone in every situation. So that is a bit of a nitpick, and not very substantive.
No doubt it was frustrating, but you said the managers' decisions were driven by numbers. So would they have ended up better or worse off with more staff? Surely they'd have more sales, and if that more than made up for the cost of another worker, they would have hired one. So why didn't they? Maybe it was a mistake and they actually weren't optimizing the profit for the department enough?

Angry people are even angrier drunks. Smoking weed doesn't chemically do anything to correct depression and will reinforce the very behaviors that lead to it. Even amphetamines don't correct depression, they just make you fixate on it until the comedown is 3x as bad as you started.

I've been running Kubernetes in production for two years and have never experienced anything remotely close to this. The worst is a node dies every now and then and, on a rare occasion, a workload doesn't happily migrate.

Of course, my experience is in no way authoritative, but referencing this type of incident as common is pretty foreign to me and may be mostly relegated to self-managed clusters.

It's crazy their supplier is delivering so many must-fix defects they have to have a warranty team on site to help fix them. Crazier that Boeing just let that get more and more out of hand instead of making Spirit get their shit together on their end.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIAfCupuZ3w

Edit: Also that entire culture and dynamic between Boeing and Spirit on the production floor seems very toxic and driven by misaligned incentives. There should be zero place for bickering, aggressiveness, and finger pointing in that SAT channel. If something needs to be fixed Spirit needs to fix it with a smile. If Boeing and Spirit need to review who is responsible for what, and what needs fixing and doesn't, that should happen in review in a different setting. The production crews need to be able to execute on their processes and focus on the quality of the product without having timeline and budget concerns seeping into their day-to-day.
We lack good metaphors here.

Like genes, the following collections of information are plans, as other entities (workers, compilers, cells, etc) can reliably use them to produce larger, more complex objects:

- Blueprint

- Instruction manual

- Recipe

- Code

Unlike genes, they’re all human-designed. The top-down forcing function - the “back” in the feedback loop which shapes them - is human artifice.

I’ll leave it as an “exercise to the reader” to consider the differences in how their environment and execution apparatuses affect the resulting objects.

Genes are like blueprints, but obviously not the same. For one, they haven’t passed the county permitting process! And living organisms are like buildings because you can point to the plan behind them. But I’ll be darned if a house has ever had to struggle for survival.
I use a couple of TP-Link smart power plugs and one of them occasionally wants to access the internet to get the time from an NTP server. Since I block all their internet access this one goes crazy and brings my DNS server (custom written in Python) down to a halt. Just blocking him in the firewall of the AP would probably also not make him behave and he'd still pollute the RF spectrum. Happens rarely, though. Kicking him off of the WiFi and letting him reconnect makes him behave again.
Meta Calls for Industry Effort to Label A.I.-Generated Content

I really don't think even 1 million toothbrushes exist that have any IP connectivity at all, let alone three million all being pwned. I would assume that if anyone had sold that many Wi-fi models, one of the big manufacturers would have some, and as far as I'm aware, none do, they all use Bluetooth. Not sure I buy that a bluetooth toothbrush can DDOS a website.
There's an app for that. Sorry I meant SaaS. Its 2024 not 2014 after all.

remote.com and other similar companies that specialized in employer of record services.

For example remote charges $600/month per employee, $30/month for contractor, and provide the tax and legal stuff for hiring in like 200 countries. Thats $7200/yr per employee.

I dont know what it costs per employee if you hire a dozen and provide a 5000/sqft or whatever office space for them to work in. I heard rents in NY are crazy, _may_ actually be cheaper to hire remotely than pay for an office and all the rest. I dont know for sure, I haven't run the numbers.

...I checked quickly. Say 5000sqft. Google says $80-$90/sqft rent annual, lets use $80. Thats $80 x 5000 = $400,000/yr in rent alone. Its $80,000/for 1000sqft, but idk if you can squeeze a dozen people in 1000sqft for 8 hours. Plus you need offices for CTO/CEO/C-whatever-O, managers, conference room(s), 2 washrooms, kitchen/break room/area. And the upkeep, furniture, heating, electricity, water, internet, insurance, security system, whatever else.
> Apple is not going to change to RISCV after spending a huge amount to move their entire lineup of products to ARM

You could say the same about Apple spending a huge amount of money to move from 6502 to 68000 (which lasted 10 years), or spending a huge amount of money to move to PowerPC (which lasted 11 years), or spending a huge amount of money to move to x86 (which lasted 15 years).

RISC-V wasn't ready when Apple made their move to Arm64 in 2020 -- the base RISC-V ISA was only published in final form in July 2019 (RV64GC aka RVA20), many things needed for good desktop systems were added in November 2021 (RVA22), and Android for example is going to require the new RVA23 profile as its minimum configuration when the first devices come out around 2026.

Apple could move to RISC-V from around 2026 if they really wanted to. In an extraordinary move they've signed up with Arm until 2040 -- 16 years from now -- but who knows what will happen in that time period. Will Arm even exist? Will Apple be the only company still using the ISA?

At least with arm64 Apple is building their own cores and chips. Apple moved on from 68000, PowerPC, and x86 not because the companies ceased to exist but because they stopped making chips relevant to Apple, or the direction Apple wanted to move.

But never say it's too expensive for Apple to move ISAs. They've done it four times already, they can do it again.

The "conservatism" is of the banks, not the country. The Canadian government is quite leveraged.

But as leveraged as Canada is, Canada is well below the average for debt-to-GDP ratio of the G7 (admittedly skewed by Japan's monster debt, but still well below US debt). https://www.visualcapitalist.com/government-debt-by-country-...
Yeah, sure. But I hope you are aware your argument is dishonest? If you want to compare two times, looking at absolute numbers isn't useful unless those numbers contributed to the rise or fall of the phenomenon we are observing.

Whether from that quantity new qualities emerged is a different question. E.g. the new quantity of diverse jazz listeners probably has lead to an explosion of new sub-genres, that might have never emerged otherwise.

Still, just because there is more different Jazz now does not mean Jazz has become more relevant overall. This was the factor we discussed btw.

Witnessed this first hand at RBC when my brother from Hong Kong was inquiring about getting a mortgage in Toronto since he wants to move back to Canada with his two young kids.

We found a random mortgage specialist (a Chinese lady) at RBC. Without knowing the full picture of my brother's income situation, she immediately suggested that she could get the mortgage approved regardless, just needed to fake some documents.

It was astonishing how she went straight to the point so quickly to someone she met the first time.

She also said a lot of people has non-taxed income and needed a way to get a mortgage before the real estate price becomes out of reach.

So definitely not just HSBC.
You can view it, but there's no documentation for it, nor a listing of all instructions. You need to guess what the instructions actually do. Sometimes it's not so difficult, like IADD3; but sometimes it's not at all trivial.

> removed for removing the door plug

there was apparently two (identical) procedures -- one for "removing" the door plug and one for "opening" the door plug -- but only one of them actually called for paper-work and quality inspection after it is done.

It seems they decided to "open" the door plug instead of "remove" it to work on the sealing issue? -- and thereefore documentary record of the work performed and inspection thereafter is lacking.

It would be useful IMO to explore what led the team to prefer "opening" versus "removing" -- and if the subtle difference in documentation requirement was a consideration in preferring one over the other -- and if that points to deeper pervasive culture issues that leans towards less work rather than give safety and quality the primary importance.

Imagine you read on TechMeme that room-temperature superconductors are now confirmed to exist.

My take on the Industrial Revolution is there was something valuable about the British … I am going to use the word … culture (#). That empire crumbled in the two wars (or one war with a half-time break) but the second “empire” of the USA picked up more or less the same place (Suez usually is the hand over point)

So yeah. We had a massive empire with global excess capital draining into London - now it’s mostly into NYC and SV.

(#) no that’s not supposed to be code for “white”. The Bank of England funded the monarchy’s wars so middle class capital held enough sway to hold the monarch off parliament which gave enough regional autonomy, courts supported capital investment over government, a growing middle class, widespread education, I mean it’s incredible it all held together. But I think a lot of what worked got sent by virus to the American Colony so by 1776 there were two simikar “cultures”.
