And yet the government is starting to realize that the FARs need a major overhaul if the DOD is to have a prayer of staying competitive in the 21st Century.

You're not describing a critique of Agile so much as you're describing why the government sucks out loud at software.
As someone who grows their own jalapenos:

My plants produce extremely mild peppers...

So either the seeds I got were already bred to be mild or maybe there's something else going on there :)

My habaneros are spicy as ever though, so it can't be exclusively be environmental.
It isn’t flat, that’s the average of the last two years. It does adjust for a lot of things, like any insurance. It is higher than avg in the state for my wife right now because she is only a few years out of residency.

Mid career, she should only expect to pay about $120k/yr…
There are plenty of lower-ranked schools in CA, including several unaccredited ones. UC Irvine SoL leapfrogged all of them, partly because UC tuition is lower than privates. But being located in SoCal isn't a guaranteed of top talent — just ask University of San Diego SoL (#78) or Southwestern SoL (#141).
That seems to be talking about using EMP as a targeted weapon.

I think the question was more if any countries have ready made plans to exploit the natural disaster for military gain. Like does any country have a standing order to in the case of massive global disruption subdue or attack their geopolitical rivals?
I've read that slightly dehydrating your plants as they fruit is developing helps increase the capsaicin. You can also blend up the peppers and spray them down, which seems to agitate the peppers, and possibly send a chemical signal for the plant to start produce more capsaicin (although that's all been anecdotal evidence to my knowledge).
I've never seen the word "breed" applied to plant cultivars before. Is that a common American thing?
Yes this! If you like using Apple products, you should be able to continue to use them. Those that don't like this should be free not to use them, it is not like there are not other mobile phones/tablets out there.

What I really dislike are people who say we shouldn't have a choice in the experience we want.
Well, it's free! Or significantly cheaper even if you opt to use Preset to run a hosted/managed/compliant version of it, and not have to deal with config/security/upgrades/migrations. This article is a year old, but it might help a bit: https://preset.io/blog/apache-superset-vs-tableau/
This is specifically bad advice for the OP.
I've been on a salsa making kick lately and use chipotles, which are dried and smoked jalapenos. Raw plain jalapenos were never that attractive to me although I did eat them whole frequently when I worked in a mexican restaurant...

The chipotles I get are plenty spicy- 3 small chipotles is enough heat for an almost uncomfortably spicy salsa (in this case, I'm talking about a salsa is made just from the chipotle flesh and some spices and water). If it wasn't spicy enough, I'd add arbol chiles (just one) which are painfully spicy.
I for one am glad we don't just let foreign doctors transfer their credentials - the education and standards are not always the same, and not really sure I want to go see a doctor that moved here after taking a accelerated/minimal set of courses at whatever country happens to have the easiest/cheapest graduation requirements. Certainly there are some countries that probably have similar course of study and requirements as the USA, but I think you would need to approve transfer's very carefully after serious review of the sending countries education and training requirements.

NP vs MD education is not even close to being similar - that is why their is no easy path from one to the other - a typical NP will graduate having done ~600 to 700 hours of patient care hours. A typical MD will have had 12,000 to 16,000 hours of patient care experience before they start practicing - there are plenty of things were seeing an NP is more than enough - but you can't just give a few months of extra training to bump an NP to an MD - their education and knowledge is not even close to comparable.

There is a place for both in our health care system - but they are not the same job.
There are memory safe compiled languages too, e.g. Go or Dart. I think Java and maybe C# can be AoT compiled too these days.
I don't think anybody wants highly-variable jalapenos though? Industrial processors want reliably mild, chileheads want reliably spicy.
I find the variance in spiciness for peppers quite annoying. If the same packaged product can vary between "I don't even notice any spiciness" to "Too spicy for me, I have to throw it away" that is just wasteful.
There's a network effect in that they are used more so they've generated more feedback from users, which is then used to improve GPT.
You mean the edges that Apple has been so desperate to get rid off?

Unironically no-edge screens are starting to piss me off how annoying they make this kinda shit. Like, I don't want to start below the phone just to be able to consistently close an app, it is uncomfortable as shit especially with bigger hands.
> when everyone thought there was a chance they could become reasonably rich by working reasonably hard

And what did that correlate with? That's right, with actually having that chance.

It's not about beliefs. People can't decide to undo it all and just believe their way back to happiness.
> Unfortunately, doing it well requires managers willing to give up power

Agile is the best micromanagement process there is. Nothing even comes close. I guess there is a fitting LoTR quote here about tempting weak mortals with power.

These levels of micromanagement did not exist before agile. Sure the bosses could try earlier, but there were no tooling or developer self-imposed mindset for the modern worst practice nightmare. And the process is so stiff I wanna cry, but you are gaslighted into being blamed for it, as you "can change it" -- maybe after the next retro though. Just need to align your agile with the other teams agile first.

We are way past agile being nothing but a farce.
Your maligned "US progressive liberals" were handed an impossible problem: millions of people addicted to 100% LEGAL prescription opioids (doctors ignored warnings and received kickbacks from the Sacklers[1]) and a lack of funds to cover those expenses due to decreased economic opportunities[2], thereby creating a huge market for fentanyl and other cheap opioids.

Maybe don't be so quick to assume you know where the harm is coming from and how it is spreading.

Yes. You deduct the FMV, not the basis. There are some limits on deductions, especially when giving to foundations you control. But you can be sure that the donor has been well-advised on matching up this enormous deduction with similarly-sized realization events (i.e., selling other assets and generating taxable gains).

We actually already have many loan forgiveness programs for doctors - for example, they can choose to work at an understaffed clinic in a historically underserved area of the country and get huge amounts of their loans forgiven, on top of making a big salary. A lot of these clinics fully depend on this pipeline of doctors needing loan forgiveness. I'm not saying that this an ideal situation, but the loans can sorta encourage many doctors to practice where they are most needed.
Superset lets you join tables within the same database. If you want to do cross-DB joins, we have a new (beta) in-memory meta-DB that lets you do this, but we generally see and recommend people using things like Trino for this.
Diminishing returns based on outcomes you can change in elections to put reps into Congress who will fix healthcare legislation. Sometimes you can, some races/districts you just have to wait out demographics.

Michael Bloomberg spent almost $1B trying to become president, and didn't even move the needle. That's capital inefficient; you want to target spend for maximum outcome return. This is a win, enjoy the hope for a moment, it's a long slog ahead.

> Please continue to use other OSes with the blessing of the rest of us Linux users. No one is forcing you or trying to convince you otherwise.

Speak for yourself. That condescending attitude is disgustingly lame, and everyone is welcome to use linux, even the haters. It is free and open source, not free and open source (except for people that emptysongglass doesn't approve of)

Everything deserves criticism. Everything is imperfect. Calling out imperfections is not an insult to imperfect systems but a hope that the systems which can change in a way that we humans cannot would change for the better.

And it doesn't matter how upset you get for it, Linux's feelings have not been hurt by the criticisms it has received. Rather, many people have heard those criticisms and raised the flag and ran to the rescue and made linux better because of them.
Flappy Bird too, for that matter.
I got the same impression. There's no nefarious conspiracy to make shitty peppers for the tasteless masses. It just makes a lot more sense to make mild peppers, then add the capsaicin later on.

It'd be nice if you could still get a dice-roll-super-spicy jalapeno from the grocery store, though. I can't imagine my landlord would be keen on me growing jalapenos behind my building (or maybe they'd be fine with it! There's really only one way to find out).
Has the British Board of Film Classification changed the rating for other media? If not, then why did they choose Mary Poppins? Was it because it was the only example?
It could also be a snowball effect or a self fulfilling prophecy. If liberal news outlets produce 10x as much content as conservative news outlets, any model trained on newsmedia would end up having a liberal bias, no?

I don't know what the actual makeup of the news market is, but it seems like having 10x as much content is more valuable than having 10x the readership because LLMs are trained on volume.
> False. I'm Australian.

So you're an Australian living in Austria (Vienna, from your github)? Nice!

You're bothsidist, because you're projecting Russian imperialism of trying to conquer Ukraine (for centuries) on USA. Absurd.

> A classic America-first point of view which is entirely incompatible with the mores of the rest of the world, as we are finding out with BRICS - which is real, true diplomacy.

Now it's you making the mistake of assuming an identity.

I hope you're aware of the R in BRICS, currently waging a brutal war and regularly nuclear sabre rattling. So what diplomacy you're talking about?

What did USA had to do with Minsk accords? Also, what a stellar example of diplomacy after Russia invaded Ukraine.

> Taiwan? Yes indeed, respect the wishes of the Taiwanese residents, and not just the ones the CIA send to have interviews on CNN. ALL of them.

You can take a look at the election results in the recent years (there were presidential ones just a month ago). Or are those manipulated by CIA as well?
I have a similar opinion. What puts me off about the language is it's horrendously ugly syntax and toxic, cult-like community (maybe these types are a minority, but they are awfully loud).
That does make a good deal more sense, yes.

Justice vs. Change: Helping Clients Find Their Power
I find this useful on myself and with others. It gives an approach when someone (or my own mind) says, "None of this is my fault, so I shouldn't have to change."

From the article:

> In effect, our client is operating from a justice model... pleading their case before a court, [so] the party ultimately found guilty will... change.

> The challenge is that [life] is not a courtroom... the guilty party is usually neither present nor inclined to alter their behavior... [and so] the client will remain helpless.

I sometimes only use the first few steps, and have found them useful when acting as a friend, manager, or colleague.
That company does try its very best to keep computing crappy.
Xeon Phi bans were targeted and successful. It shows that you don't need to issue a country-wide ban to prevent China from using a chip to build their supercomputers.

And then, Sunway happened, it's built for military-use supercomputers. Do we even know whether it's 40nm, 28nm or 14nm or who on the earth fabricated them? And nothing changed on how export control works after that, that's certainly not the trigger.

GPU bans before ChatGPT happened were also targeted, similar to how BIS Entity List works.

Let's face it: the recent ban-entire-China movement was just about "AI", instead of HPC/simulations, the only purpose of it is to deny China NVIDIA GPU access and ensure they can't compete on SOTA language models.
Reliably spicy jalapenos have never been a thing, but you can optimize growing conditions for heat and produce a spicy cultivar if you want to go into business serving chileheads who want, like, hot, but not that hot?

(I get it, jalapenos have a particularly useful form factor; you can't really do a serrano relleno).
Aren't they disallowed from turning the lights off? Whenever a country tells Meta/Google that they have to pay for news results, and then they say "we just won't index/include news anymore", they seem to get into even more trouble.
It seems to me that large software companies often adopt an open-source approach initially to attract enthusiasts and stand out from leading competitors, but tend to adopt similar philosophies as their rivals once they achieve significant recognition or investment.

It's all a marketing tactic, and I ain't for it.

? Are you talking about specifically using "breed" (noun) to refer to a cultivar, or "breed" (verb) to refer to the process by which we obtain new cultivars/

Either way, the term is used colloquially throughout the US (and probably more) to refer to the industrial products of plant breeding.
"Let your ERP handle your RevRec/Accounting (or use what’s built in with something else)."

With that approach, how do you:

1. Make your ERP recognize revenue correctly? An ERP system isn't magically going to know how your revenue should be amortized based on certain events, or what should happen when a partially-amortized order is later upgraded/downgraded to a different package/plan.

2. Ensure that your refund/upgrade/downgrade calculations are consistent between product systems and the ERP system.

Even if you emit all the necessary events (and each contains all the necessary data), there has to be some system that's programmed (or, at least, configured) to apply your revenue recognition rules to the event stream. Given how much difficulty people have even describing how things should work, I don't think you can just abdicate the revenue recognition to another system and just assume whoever configures/programs that system will do it right. Even if you can assume that, it's equivalent to saying "it's complicated so you shouldn't do it yourself; have someone else do it".
I read much of it as well, and agree with the conspiracy nonsense evaluation. Many references to supposed secret meetings held between international/university/etc. elites in one year or another with no specifics or evidence whatsoever. It's literally conspiracy nonsense.

The person you are responding to is pointing out that if the host doesn't offer you to switch all the time, then it isn't the best strategy to always switch when you are given the option. For example, knowing that everyone switches when given the option, the host might only offer to switch when you've picked the correct door. In that case, not switching would be better. Hence the poker aspect.

You should always be careful to treat people as individuals, but it is worth considering that people who have come of age and lived through different periods of history will be shaped differently and have different views of the world.

Interestingly, I have seen my own boomer parents grow more cynical over the last few years. Particularly my mother who's lifelong employer was bought by private equity a few years ago. She used to have a nearly-unbreakable work ethic, but is now riding out the clock until she can get laid off with severance. I tell her welcome to the millennial treatment. So take heart Gen Z, eventually they may get the treatment they thought was reserved for the younger generations.
Jeez, this thread should have it's own thread where we discuss it:

"Marilyn vos Savant and the Monty Hall Problem (2015) Problem (2024)"

That thread wouldn't be about the problem, or about the decades ago backlash to the correct answer about the problem, but about the backlash to how everyone in 2024 semantically picked apart the problem.

I lived though the initial backlash and it was annoyingly entertaining how high level mathematicians tried to show how she was wrong. Now everyone is trying to use semantics to show how they are right--or at least not wrong.

I don't know which is worse--pompous incorrectness (then) or pedantic semantics (now).
Sniff. I miss the old brussels sprouts. The don't freeze anymore without turning to mush. But I'll give you broccolini -- it's a great addition.
The real fundamental problem is that "digital assets" are bullshit.

An AI model is literally constructed by explicitly disrespecting copyright. The idea that a company gets to turn around and demand respect for their AI model's copyright is patently absurd.
Yes, donating stock means you avoid capital gains. But even more relevant in this case is that she likely inherited the Berkshire stock from her husband which also resets the cost basis which means she wouldn't have had to pay capital gains even if she had sold the portfolio instead of donating.

Yeah, I've seen boston-area college students successfully grow szechuan peppers on a south facing (outdoor but sheltered) balcony - with exactly as much neglect as you'd expect from undergrads in a shared apartment. "Absurdly easy" is not an exaggeration.
"The acid"? Capsaicin (the compound responsible for a pepper's "heat") is not an acid.

Also, I've never noticed "black veins" in any peppers I've prepared, including very spicy ones.
> today's (delicious) sprouts aren't the same plant as the (gross) sprouts of yore

For what it's worth, your (adult) tastes probably changed more than the vegetable itself. Even with the reduction in glucosinolates, few children would call brussels sprouts "delicious". Children are born with a preference for sweetness, while disliking bitter tastes. Both of these traits diminish as they reach adulthood. [0]

Happy to have missed it, but this seems to be a Rust fan injecting bias?

wow, i want free money too. thanks for your insightful comment
It's indeed a defense mechanism, but (from what I understand) it has less to do with bugs and more to do with mammals; pepper plants started surrounding the seeds with capsaicin to ward off mammals (which chew up and destroy the seeds) while still being palatable to birds (which ingest the seeds whole and "drop them off" elsewhere).

Then a certain species of primate decided "Grug inflict pain on self, makes Grug happy" and the rest is history.
That's probably not trivial, but it seems plausible. The beauty of open source is that you can help contribute this if you're fired up about it!

If you have had Huy Fong Sriracha recently you’ll probably notice that it is less spicy than it used to be.

Apparently they were in a multi year lawsuit with their jalapeño pepper supplier based in SoCal that is specifically known for spiciness and they lost and started buying jalapeños elsewhere.

Then the pepper farmer started selling his own Sriracha sauce.
It's very different from normal entities being in debt, and likely not the same decision makers involved as those discussing software practices.
