It's a bit of a different category in that NPR is public funded and so has kind of an obligation to represent the public. Fox is owned by the Murdochs and so it's a bit down to them. At least they fired Tucker.
Hard disagree with this as a polemic

When I take photographs of my friends, it is incredibly important to me that they be in focus, sharp, with a good depth of field bokeh that brings out their face and presents an attractive image. I take a huge amount of pride when a photo I shot ends up as a profile picture or widely shared. That's a large part of why I take them, to share with others.

Got my current job because of my public code and the quality of articles I have written on subjects relevant to the employer. When I interviewed they largely skipped the technical parts and focused on cultural fit and the kinds of projects I wanted to be involved with, because my publicly demonstrated track record left no question about the quality of my work.

It is fine to have some activities you enjoy without perfectionism, but there is a world of advantages that can come from a focus on quality.
There was a massive increase in TikTok's user base between 2020 to now, though, so it's worth investigating.

It didn't say that it is the worst product ever. Only the worst product he ever reviewed.

Not only that, it also goes the other way. If you're retired, you can't easily pick up another shift or do some overtime if you need to balance the budget, so the most available option for trading time for money is in finding savings.

And people always forget to account for taxes. Purchase prices are in after-tax dollars and hourly wages aren't. Between sales tax, state and federal income tax and government benefits phase outs from earning more money, the wage-equivalent value of saving a buck can be around double the nominal hourly wage.
Or don't squeeze everything impossible out of them. There is efficiency and then there demands that means corners will get cut or not cut when metal working is really needed.
This really resonates with me. Of course it's great to create something that other people enjoy, share it with them, get feedback etc.
But it also might create a pressure that will strip off all the pleasure from the activity completely. So for myself, I decided to share my creations and welcome feedback, but also see the main goal in creation itself.

> Monads with do-notation

Phrased like this, it sounds like 'the monad abstraction' and 'good syntax for monads' are what helps, which is slightly off the mark.

But particular monads do help:

- The Par monad gives you deterministic parallelism for computations.

- The flipside of marking mutable/non-determistic functions as IO (another monad), is that the functions not marked as such are deterministic, non-interfering etc., so interleaving them differently will not grow the state-space.

- The STM monad gives you transactions, which give you safe, shared mutability without running into the following issue from the article:

> I can use programming constructs like mutexes and barriers to "prune" the state space and give me the behaviors I want, but given how big the state space can be, I have to do a lot of pruning to get the right behaviors. I can make mistakes in implementation, "misshape" the space (like by adding a deadlock), or not notice a buggy state I need to remove. Threads are very error prone.

I'm not sure what 'Atoms' refer to, unless it's running code in an atomic block in STM.

That said, having a good monadic syntax is still great, even if the syntax can't solve semantic concurrency issues. I believe that CompletableFutures were a good way to model async code in Java (and Rx/observables etc, to some extent). But they got resistance from Java programmers who didn't want to flatMap everything all the time. They had semantic issues too (can't cancel?!? what?!). But I think it's largely their syntax that made programmers miss the Thread model of writing straight-line imperative code.

Well, people self select their associates to a large extent. I’m sure bank robbers know other bank robbers, but that doesn’t make it a common characteristic.
The ONS data cannot be used that way unfortunately, and the ONS themselves have admitted to that fact. If you take the ONS data literally then COVID vaccines are a magical elixir of luck that protect against every cause of death including car crashes.

There are at least two problems:

1. The statistically invalid time-windowing games the public health agencies all played in which people who had taken vaccines were classed as unvaccinated. The sibling comment talks about that. Prof Norman Fenton has shown how this yields incorrectly high calculations of effectiveness.

2. Healthy vaccinee bias, in which people who are about to die aren't vaccinated at all because there's no point, and the sort of people who take lots of vaccines tend to be obsessive about health and risk in other ways.

Problems like these with observational data are why drugs are put through trials before being launched to market. If we check the data for say the Pfizer trial, what we see is no effect on mortality and serious problems with statistical power also, simply because so few people were dying of COVID it was basically impossible to run a trial large enough to prove it had any effect.

Where does the government force people to buy EVs, or any other vehicles?
Am I using the word in that way?

Sit-ins are an old protest tactic. They were used during the civil rights movement, in private property. They were used during labour protest, in private property. They have repeatedly been successful at achieving the protestors ends. They have repeatedly, in hindsight, been viewed in a favorable light and broadly seen as permissible. They were frequently, at the time, viewed as illegitimate and impermissible. Of course, there were other sit-ins which failed and were very much unpopular and were unjustified.
It’s just a different framing of the same data. The market is growing strongly, but not at the ludicrously high rate of growth it enjoyed previously. There are just so many ways to frame that, particularly as most people, including a lot of people on this very website, don’t understand the difference between growth and rate of growth.
I searched for Kadin on the page and came to your post. I was hoping to see a romantic end to their story. But that would have been too much Mills and Boon, I guess (sigh!). TBH large part in the middle does read like that, also the author reflecting on whether she has a crush on him. A very poignant long read.
I've recently considered buying an EV. I've come to the conclusion that it only makes sense if you can charge at home and won't frequently go on longer road trips. Even then, I might still consider it too expensive/risky at this point.

It comes down to a few reasons for me:

* If you can't charge at home, EVs generally don't seem to make economical sense

* The charging network is not well enough developed, especially when considering peak times like public holidays etc.

* If you don't have access to the Tesla supercharger network, you will very likely overpay on charging. So much so that it makes an ICE car look cheap to refuel.

* Getting a used EV is still a very weird experience with one of the most important indicators very hard to determine: battery health

I wonder if evaluations similar to mine have led to many people in the US owning EVs only as their second car and still retain an ICE car "on the side" (or vice versa).

If these issues are not resolved, I expect the EV market share to top at about 30% for the foreseeable future. Hybrids and CNG vehicles seem to be a more economical and practical alternative for the masses while also significantly reducing emissions when compared to traditional ICE cars.
Then report it to the police, don’t forward a naked image of someone’s child to them? Not only is it likely distribution of CP, it’s also an insane thing to do. As Doreen said, she doesn’t want to see her lads nudes. I’m pretty sure my mother doesn’t want to see my knob either, who in their right mind would forward that to anywhere but law enforcement?

Not to mention your absolute stretch of a scenario. Do kids typically have their teachers phone numbers in their contacts? Have them added on Facebook? Follow them on Insta? These are all genuine safeguarding issues in themselves, imo (granted I haven’t been in school for 10-15 years). I feel you’re being disingenuous here.

> Let’s say the canteen charges 20% under market price for a meal. In that case the employees can be taxed for having access to that canteen, even if they don’t eat there. This access is considered a taxable income.

I actually fail to see what is logical here. And I would go further by saying it is neither logical, nor fair.

First the basic point. Why should an employee be taxed for a service he is not making use of. That's a government trying to get more tax income than what they are entitled to, hidden under the guise of simplification. We are equal under the law, and therefore, theoretically, we are equal under taxes. It is irrelevant that someone has, or does not have access to such a canteen, if they are not making use of the facility, the net outcome is the same, and therefore, the taxation should be the same.

And then a point could be made about the relevancy of taxation in the canteen example. (Although it should not be forgotten that it was just a randomly quantified example for the sake of argument). But let's say that company A decides to provide a canteen, with food sold at cost price to its employees. This turns out to be 20% cheaper than eating in a random other canteen "at market price" (i.e. charging you for cost price + company B profit).

Now you are actually taxing the fact that company A decided to make the effort to setup a canteen, hire cooks/canteen employees, probably make a qualitative effort to offer better food, and not seek profit on the effort, when compared to company B, offering food at a higher price as it includes profit.

Congratulations, in a context of decreasing food quality offered by catering services world-wide, your taxation approach just further de-incentivized potential quality over taxation income. Further fully disregarding the fact that to offer a catering service, company A had to make investments, is employing personnel, buying food, etc, and is, therefore, already contributing more to global tax revenues for the state.

Furthermore, you are also unfairly putting non-profit catering services at a disadvantage, as, they too will be taxed more, as they are also offering their food below "market price". (Not too far-fetched, as such efforts are being set-up, with success, for school canteens, focusing on local, organic food, at operating cost-price)
I have considered something like that in the past. The problem is that you can't stop someone else from making a web frontend (with ads on it, of course) and now you're back to were you started.
This case is a true unknown. There is an open question as to who carried out the bombing, with multiple intelligence services blaming Syria. the US decided to blame Gaddafi though, and he was happy to take the blame as it plays well to the "Arab street." The trials resulting from the bombing are considered show trials by some... just an unknown...
Wouldn't it be a strange coincidence that people have a Zinc deficiency just at the time the are infected with Corona?

Why only the infected?
The cars may be awesome, but like most green tech, they're 'toys for the wealthy' at the moment, and not yet a solution for the masses.

Even if the price of the cars comes down (and the used market grows and proves whether degraded batteries are a major issue or not), not enough people are talking about the prerequisite of owning your own home with its own parking space for the ability to charge at home.

If you have to park on the street, or live in an apartment, or rent your home, you may have no way to install a charger at home. And nobody wants to be at the mercy of public chargers alone (unreliable, queues, local monopolies hiking prices up).
I mean, I'm firmly in the pro-EV camp, but how the fuck are lower-class people not rioting in the streets daily? 3.6k a year just because you're too poor to afford a new 40k+ vehicle, and that on top of inflation and Brexit aftereffects? That's frankly insane.

Thanks for this link on brain fog, I had that for a year after getting Covid early before vaccines were available.

I know there was work recently that found blood tests can find various markers of long covid, I'd like to get this done - but it's not something widely available.

A relative has been getting strange post-viral like symptoms since before Xmas (though no obvious Covid infection), would be great to get them tested too.
That is the case, though. For a few years the only electric vans I saw around here were state and semi-state agencies (the post office, the gas and electricity networks, etc). Now private ones are showing up too.

Governments don’t operate many passenger cars, and that’s where the ev ‘revolution’ largely started, so you can’t expect them to have been doing this from the very start.
That's a very much weaker claim than "women have no respect for men who earn less than themselves."

Still though, where's the data?
Here in the NL they'll soon lift the road tax exemption for e-vehicles, and since it's weight based, EV-owners are going to pay, and fuel vehicles will become more interesting again.
The time will tell, but I have a feeling that, while the subsidies were useful to turn people's attention to the EVs, they will not prove to be deciding factor for a decision to buy an EV or not.

The manufacturers will adjust the prices a bit, and the electricity prices are stabilized.

For me the main factor was the feeling that I'm polluting the steet where my kids play way less every time I drive out.
This is good advice, I'd like to ad one caveat tho: It is not a good idea to base your decision whether to start doing a hobby on your own perceived ability to get good at it.

For one the much more important metric is whether you enjoy doing it, because ultimately you are doing it for yourself. Secondly, as an educator I have to say that many people absolutely suck at predicting their own inability to learn a thing.

There are many people who say they will be bad at $X and because of that prediction they avoid doing $X, which in turn is the reason they can never become good at $X.

It is much better to just take the gift that Punk culture has given us and focus on finding A) joy in doing things even if you are not good at them and B) finding your own way of doing them, because for many hobbies there just isn't one objectively good way of doing them.

you talk about something else. sometimes, in fact most times, this imaginary and large audience (who also happen to be great critics) can beat anyone into inaction and kill whatever little flame we were nursing. it’s all in our heads, which means we end up defeating ourselves. it isn’t an ode to mediocrity, imo. if anything, practice and more practice is the best cure for mediocrity.

I guess this is my gripe with advice in general: Why should anyone else make that their aim? It’s great that it works for you, but I don’t think that’s applicable to me :)

> Pootin will start small invasions of NATO countries.

To those that doubt this because of the risk, it won't be an outright invasion to start. It'll be a provocation with plausible deniability to test and undermine NATO's resolve and unity. Like a "little green men" scenario from 2014. A low stakes experiment with low risk and high reward. Simultaneously will be attempts to push support for far-left and far-right political ideas, for example by using migrants as a weapon and social media disinformation.

> There's also just the incident treadmill. Boeing is getting all the bad news now for good reasons, but how confident are we that there isn't a similar Airbus issue that'll come out soon?

That's not how confidence works, while Airbus has confidence from the public and doesn't do something to lose it, they have the upper hand.

You are trying to use numbers and statistics to fight against a loss of confidence, that won't work in the short to medium term, confidence and trust is built upon human emotions, not hard data. There's a reason why "loss of confidence" is a major trigger for economic crisis, the feeling itself triggers a domino effect that feedback into the issue, aggravating it.

The same is happening to Boeing, they lost confidence while Airbus didn't, people won't trust Boeing, bad press will be focusing on Boeing, so on and so forth, until they have regained confidence. It's well deserved, if they didn't lose it they could continue their practices and potentially worsen the safety of their products since there wouldn't be blowback triggering fear in their executives, loss of confidence is working as intended.
That’s an interesting thought, I think it certainly would’ve helped if they took a more “we build it as we go if you believe in the vision” approach. Reminds me of tesla and it’s approach, though that’s a pretty polarizing example.
PubKit is a spinoff project from Pixelfed, and is used by the project's lead developer to actually develop Pixelfed. It has some pretty great ideas about mocking up entities and data, testing data streams, and working with different server implementations to see where pieces might differ.
Sure, capitalism wins here as usual - there has been well over a century worth of r&d to make insanely cheap ICE vehicles at scale. With electric vehicles, even Tesla doesn't have two decades (of which they spent a lot of time in small production) under their belt.

Take away the subsidies and ICE vehicles win out again - there is no other way than subsidies to overcome the chicken and egg problem.
