No, plant products are far more dense in proportion to water, fertilizer, land, and energy used to produce them. 10x the plants are required to get 1x the meat.

Probably not enforceable != enforceable. Are you worth suing or does everyone sign? Are your state laws and jurisprudence going to back you up?

If you are ever going to sign an employee agreement that binds you, consult with an employment attorney first. I did this with a past noncompete and it was the best few hundred I ever spent: my attorney talked with me for an hour about the particulars of my noncompete, pointed out areas to negotiate, and sent back redlines to make the contract more equitable.
I don't understand people like you. A government agency does something material to help the consumer and you just shit talk and resort to base cynicism. Nothing would ever change if everyone was as apathetic as you are.

I agree. I don't want a million world news stories, but I do find the comments on this forum enlightening and an interesting perspectives, so it's frustrating that a cohort of folks can't just skip these stories but feel the need to flag. Plenty of things come up on here that I have zero interest in but I don't flag them.
Going beyond unionization to ownership, one solution is worker-owned co-ops. Making those easy to start and providing tax benefits for such would be fantastic.
>You don't have to tell me if you personally liked it better, you're an outlier

If I don't have any data to the contrary, then I'll extrapolate from my sample size of one. In fact I do have more data, in the form of regularly seeing others say they prefer a variety of older UIs. Granted that everyone hates every redesign, and we can fairly assume that much of this is simple familiarity. But that doesn't mean that every single redesign is an improvement either.

Writing in all lowercase is an aesthetic akin to an executive wearing jeans and a T-shirt. It is supposed to impart an air of self-confidence, that you don’t need to signal your seriousness in order to be taken seriously.

However such signalling is harder to pull off than it seems, and most who try do it poorly because they don’t realise that the casual aesthetic isn't just a lack of care. Steve Jobs famously eschewed the suit for jeans and mock turtleneck. But those weren’t really casual clothes, those mock turtlenecks were bespoke, tailored garments made by a revered Japanese fashion designer. That is a world apart from throwing on whatever brand of T-shirt happens to feel comfortable to the wearer.

No.

I am pointing out that being a monopoly (i.e. the only business choosing to offer a product/service) is not illegal.

Engaging in anticompetive behavior is illegal. And the Justice Dept has accused Ticketmaster of doing that.
It’s always been an American impulse to resist authority and think for yourself. That is generally admirable. Then at some point the “think for yourself” part got tossed out, and people disobey instructions for the sake of it.

It’s not that hard to follow instructions. There aren’t that many, and almost all flights have the exact same ones. If you don’t want to learn about getting tossed around like a rag doll at 40k feet that’s fine, just do what the crew tells you to do and you’ll be ok.
There need to be more recessed/flush-mount options, no one wants a big ugly box on the wall even if it is a big box with avant-garde styling.

I retrofit a Fujitsu 4-zone split system into my house, that I bought online. I installed a hidden air handler in a centrally located closet to cover the open-floorplan downstairs, which mostly made that space useless for other storage. I also installed 3 recessed flush-mount ceiling-mount units (called a "ceiling cassette") in the bedrooms, which luckily had attic access above. They were 22" wide to fit between the rafters. Nice unobtrusive look. They also offer a floor mounted unit that is less obtrusive than the ol' box on the wall, but it has a slightly lower SEER rating. And can limit where you put your furniture.

Also LG has one called the "Art Cool" which is essentially a very thick picture frame you can hang on the surface and disguise with a pretty picture. They should make one built into an OLED TV...

Yes, I'm not claiming that they're going to perform as well, just that they're sort of similar in the space of problems.

There's different techniques used for compressing them, mostly around sorting the keys and e.g., run length encoding the values.
Content-Addressable-Storage? You can do that yourself: just use the hash of an S3 object as its name, and mark the object as immutable.
I put all my "decade from now" files on three separate 500GB USB drives, each storing the same data, and each drive from different manufacturers/dates. Two drives stored in a safe at my house, and one in a safe at my brother's house. I used to store in S3, and it was more convenient, but I just felt weird about storing really important files on someone else's cloud -- what if I don't login to the AWS account for 9 years, and then when I need my files, I find out AWS kindly deleted/disabled my account and I didn't know about it? That situation is my biggest concern.
Fair enough, I haven't jumped out of a plane, I was basing it on my climbing experience, which I realise now is not a valid comparison, I suspect that it's more noticeable in that context because of the high rate of respiration you tend to get when slogging it up big hills.
It's also a solved problem that literally no human should have to bother with anymore. Like it was solved with SOAP APIs back in the 2000's.

Not to mention the fact that documentation is still always hand-written - which can have mistakes or typos in it, then downstream developers will have to translate that into hand-written client code, which can also have those same mistakes or bugs in it. And when the mistake is corrected, the dev needs to go back to where the correction was made in the docs, re-read and interpret the correction and then correct their client code. With API specs and code generators that entire process is automated now.

Now imagine bringing together approximately 6 different APIs into a single app, 5 have API specs while 1 doesn't. Now 80% of your time is spent on that 1 API where you have to read the docs to keep your client code up to date. Oh that 1 API vendor doesn't bother letting you know when their API is updated! So you have to F5 their website every week! This is literally my life right now.

Anyway, in this case, it was my mistake not to read until the very bottom where they had an OpenAPI yaml spec link there.
Did it hate the market dynamics. i.e. Peter theils thesis that competition is for losers because it drives up prices... therefore the shortage of talent was creating competition which should be hated?
When approaching object orientation, I usually take a low level approach.

A class is a data structure.

An object is the actual data.

A method is a function talking an object as the first parameter

A subclass is a data structure containing first the parent class data structure, then the elements specific to the subclass. It means that inheritance is a special case of composition.

Virtual methods are function pointers in an object (often with a level of indirection: the vtable).

So instead of thinking of inheritance as a "is a" relationship, I treat is as "has (the properties of) a", because that's how it is in memory. For example, we often do stuff like an employee is a person, so employee inherits from person, and adds some extra properties, like pay. But I prefer to think of it as "an employee has the properties of a person". But we also decide that the "person" properties are special, because these are the properties you will use often, so you use inheritance instead of composition, and doing that, you take advantage of some syntactic sugar and an efficient memory representation.

So for that number tower, do you want "integer" to inherit "natural". Probably not, because while an integer has the properties of a natural with an additional "sign" property, you are unlikely to want to address your integer as a natural, there are few cases where it makes sense, so explicit composition would be more appropriate. In the reverse direction, do you want "natural" to inherit "integer". Maybe, it depends on how "special" natural numbers are over integers.

OOP may be flawed from a mathematical perspective, but it is a good tool for practical programming, that's why it is so popular. The "is a" and "has a" relationships are just to help understand a concept that is really about chunks of memory.
Early pre-Google Nest had this innovative underdog vibe (with the father of the iPod to boot!) but floundered on their own soon after they ran out of ideas beyond the thermostat. I bought into the hype and was disappointed it didn’t amount to much.

WIRED had a profile touting post-thermostat Nest but.. it never made it off the ground. I have no idea how an unheard-of company like Inovelli managed to bring some solid home automation products to market in a matter of several years, while Nest just sat around cupping their hand and smelling their farts.
Windows is horrendously annoying to implement anything on and completely absent from the HPC field. Maybe people are trying to do AI training things on it now but that also seems likely to be Linux boxes.

Shipping rocm releases that don't run on a bunch of their GPUs is just an absurd choice, there's no way to defend that one.
Not a fan of this one. Is this a race to the bottom because of TikTok? The bottom videos sticking out are gross to me.
> taxed when it becomes the full, unrestricted property of the employee

I guess these agreements mean that the property isn't full unrestricted property of the employee... and therefore income tax isn't payable when they vest.

The tax isn't avoided - it would just be paid when you sell the shares instead - which for most people would be a worse deal because you'll probably sell them at a higher price than the vest price.

if the student is not motivated at all, they will be in the same situation whether there's an AI or not around.

If they choose to use an AI to "cheat" and not learn, then it is no different than them using any other methods to not learn (such as truancy).

e2e encryption is a net loss for a lot of use cases. Particularly, most DMs are spam in my experience.

Spam prevention is much harder if the server can't see the message. Spam reporting can be done with sufficient effort, but stopping the known spam from reaching the user in the first place is impossible (the closest you can get is a client-side scan before actually showing the message to the user, which requires downloading the whole message just to show "number of incoming messages" indicator or else having the indicator lie).

And of course, E2EE is a lie if you're visiting a website anyway.

Multipart upload allows you to upload a single object as a set of parts. Each part is a contiguous portion of the object's data. You can upload these object parts independently and in any order. If transmission of any part fails, you can retransmit that part without affecting other parts. After all parts of your object are uploaded, Amazon S3 assembles these parts and creates the object. In general, when your object size reaches 100 MB, you should consider using multipart uploads instead of uploading the object in a single operation.

Unfortunately, anti-trust is all case law.

The Sherman Antitrust Act is one paragraph long.

9 constitutional amendments are only one sentence long, not even a paragraph!

It's all case law.

But judges care way more about constitutional amendments than Sherman Antitrust Act. Most have limited intellectual interest in the problems it tackles.

And really, who cares about the price of concert tickets, online ads and in-app purchase fees? These guys went to law school not business school.

They. Just. Don't. Care.

Could the DoJ and FTC make them care as much about antitrust as like, at least 2 amendments? Yes.

I have no idea how the DoJ and FTC have failed to drum up excitement about this stuff. Nobody is going to rule against the status quo without passionate feelings about it.
I am a huge fan of hypothecation, and the fact that no politician wants to even consider it says a lot about the world we live in.
The Biden administration is a textbook example of how to not control any narratives whatsoever and never be able to get any credit. They lost the narrative after Kabul and then just never got it back, despite being one of the most legislatively successful and executively impactful administrations in the last 50 years. Case in point - recent poll that had 50% of voters that listed "climate" as their top priority didn't think this administration has done anything on climate change.
It's so freaking infuriating.

I worked in the ticketing industry in 2007-2010. I remember when the CEO of our small org told us that he talked to the FTC as an industry expert when they were approving the deal. He said he didn't think it would harm competition.

Everyone else, including myself, could see where this was going. I don't know how folks could be that bone-headed even back then.
Of course, AMD needed to pull a bigger rabbit out of a smaller and more decrepit hat before Ryzen.

> A human teacher can see the problem from the students perspective ... No current ai would be able to achieve this

Not all teachers are able to see the POV of the student. In fact, i would argue that only exceptionally good teachers are able to.

Whether AI can achieve this level of understanding is still yet to be seen, but i would hope it is possible.
It would be cheaper for them if they thought on those two things as similar. A dumb tool does not need a team of lawyers and bunch of moderators/reviewers to make sure there's no legal or PR blowback when someone draws a penis and the tool produces an image of a girthy member.
Yes, Raising Steam wasn't good. Did the Discworld need steam? Felt shoehorned in and just not an interesting direction. What happened to the dwarf stone that rotated with near infinite torque? That could have been the power source of a Discworld industrial revolution, if it was going to happen. More fun to explore there.

Maybe. I guess I feel that the characters didn't need a fitting end. They were established and they just existed. There was no overarching story that needed wrapping up.

I've always wondered what government funding would look like if taxpayers could allocate their tax dollars at their own discretion. I don't think it would be all that functional in practice, but the idea of it seems interesting.
Even if you're right that everyone prefers interfaces "now" to stuff 20 years ago, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's because people are wrongly biased against new redesigns. New designs have problems and bugs that are ironed out over a period of several years, wherein a new redesign doesn't occur. Most of the problems people have with redesigns are these problems, or sometimes outright mistakes that get reverted. That's why repeated redesigns, rather than getting it right followed by stability, is such a problem. You lose all the work you did in ironing out problems with a specific version of an interface.

I'm not sure how true your pronouncement about "people in general" is, either. Sure, most people don't look at Firefox from 20 years ago and say "yeah, we should go back to that". I'm an outlier for thinking that. But in part that's because going back to that would itself be another redesign, and Mozilla (for example) is famous for fouling them up. No one trusts them to do a redesign, and no one wants to have to relearn an interface, even if they might be convinced it's superior in some way.

I agree that most political factions actually agree on most policies, but that doesn’t mean the decision as to whether to proceed is ‘civil service’ rather than ‘political’.
Probably driven by late-stage data science. I’m sure there was an A/B test somewhere that moved some metric by 2% that made this possible. Most likely this was also not tested for long term effects.
So, I read this article and have to disagree with this point that people in very remedial math classes have cognitive issues .

I can think of so many exceptions to this that I have personally encountered. Its usually because of poverty or home schooling and often isnt the fault of the student. I know someone that is far more intelligent than I (I went to a top 3 cs school and have had a very successful career). This person can't do basic math because they were never given the opportunity to learn it. There are also people that are perfectly intelligent, but messed up really badly when they were younger. They should have the opportunity to turn things around.

I really wish there was some simple calculations that could be shown on how posts are ranked. For eg post A has x upvotes, y comments, is z minutes old and therefore rank 2. Post B has these values, while C is here. Hence this post went down the front page quickly.

It's not that I don't trust the mods explicitly, it's just that showing such numbers (if they exist) would be helpful for transparency.

We are optimizing for latency and vector search is sufficient in 80-90% of cases and 0.6s is about the threshold for acceptable end-user experience.
