> I was surprised that there are buildings higher than 5 stories being constructed today in stone.

There aren't being constructed anymore. But that's the point I'm making actually: Paris is mostly made of buildings built in the 19th century, and that's only possible because the said buildings where made out of stone. With reinforced concrete, concrete cancer would be overwhelming.

> However it looks very unaffordable for 99% of people

In a planet where the population is converging, the ability to keep using the same building for more than a century is in fact the most economical way, focusing on short term costs of disposable buildings is already becoming unsustainable (that's exactly what we're talking about when the topic of “high infrastructure costs” is being discussed).

> Plus I would hate to think how our planet would look if cities were made of stone instead of concrete (cities would look nice but the hills around them?).

Where do you think the concrete comes from? You need to have stone quarries as well to make the cement (which is made of ground cooked rocks) as well as sand quarries to take the sand. But you need much more material because the process needs to be repeated every century (if you are using reinforced concrete: the problem always come from the rebar).

Sounds like they divorced and then the father died in a car accident while trying to make life in the wilderness work. And the mother moved to the city and never came back, which helped her have a long life with her daughter, so probably that was the better decision.
try/catch messing with const is a well known problem in modern JS & one that imo needs a generalised solution & not one specific to one constructor.

As far as other error return patterns existing in "the spec" - there are multiple specs referred to here (ECMA vs DOM) & also multiple eras; there seems to be consensus that some past patterns on error return weren't great decisions & some well considered consensus to move to more broadly accepted known patterns (like try/catch).

e.g. for your Date example, that's a really old API that ECMA are working on replacing with Temporal (which throws)

Doing some analysis, this appears to be an injected bit of script attempting to automatically subscribe users to some sort of publisher of msn.com articles, as the tag type "social-lead-gen-in-article" is used for the publisher subscription box at the bottom of MSN articles, and it then attempts to find the "Subscribe Now" button and track clicks on it and add handlers to automatically perform whatever merchant actions.

My takeaway at present is to avoid Edge and especially avoid Edge on MSN articles until such time as M$ drops some information on this.

The Federalist Papers are the deep dive. The Wikipedia article is a good start [1].

This doesn’t sound right to me. The rational numbers are a superset of the integers. We know that there’s only one 1 in the rational numbers, then it must be the same 1 object as the 1 in the integers.

The statement “3/3 is in Z” is true. There’s no conversion happening: 3/3 is a notation for 1, just like 0.999… is a notation for 1. Many notations, but only one 1 object.

The case of R x R^2 = R^3 is different because the Cartesian product is defined to produce a set of ordered pairs. So it cannot give rise to a set of triples any more than a dog can give birth to a cat. So either x is not a Cartesian product or = is isomorphism not equality.

> The ironical thing about the "Follow what creates value for other people" advice - for math graduates in particular - is that most of modern math doesn't seem to be motivated this.

I do believe that the results of math research (even the pure one) create an insane value for other people, but that we live in a world full of ignorant people who don't see this insane value (yet). Thus, the modern math research may not be motivated by this criterion, but in most cases nearly tautologically creates a lot of value for other people.

> we need to hire fast and fire fast

You'll end up having more trouble hiring when candidates don't want to relocate or leave their current job because it's too risky to join your company which has a reputation to easily fire its employees even though they passed their tests.

If I were unemployed and I wouldn't need to relocate, sure, I'd be willing to give it a try for a few weeks and see if it's a mutual match, that'd be ideal. If I need to relocate or leave my current stable job, you'll have to pay a big premium over my current compensation to make it worth it.

I’m also a proponent of simple pages wherever they can be made but we’re not the only audience on the internet. Different people find different UIs effective.

For example: Airbnb (last I looked, anyway) has a little mini carousel in the thumbnail of a listing. I found it mildly useful. I imagine a company the size of Airbnb are tracking if people use that widget so it’s probably earned its place in the interface.

Standing outside the whole thing with no data and saying “none of this is necessary” strikes me as an unhelpful perspective. Neither you nor I actually know.
I've been using a Pixel 2 since it came up, and was surprised by the debilitating headache I got when I upgraded to a Pixel 7a.

It looks like the Pixel 2 was the last to definitely not use the technology talked about in this article. I hate searching for news about why computers cause headaches. I've had a similar experience with a few laptops (in particular the Surface Pro). A lot of the articles talking about screens causing headaches are quackery about EMF, and even the ones that don't mention EMF get shut down as quackery. Meanwhile, companies keep producing screens that have terrible glare and call that a selling point.

> Because that does sound to me like the original claim was wrong?

I don't think so. At least in my reading, it appears both of these things can be true at the same time if you ready carefully:

> Lumina’s manufacturing process follows legally mandated GMP protocols, if not the probiotic trade association’s voluntary best practices.

These are saying the same thing - it looks like the probiotic best practices aren't being followed, but they appear to not be legally mandated.
CO2, NOx, plastics, all kinds of problematic chemicals - we all release more of those than we would strictly need to. And even the strict needs could be argued about, in some cases.
Totally crazy that someone drives that fast with fog like this, knowing that there is a rail crossing there.

No matter what kind of autopilot I have, I will be always careful around those places.

It also does not make any sense that Tesla does not mark in the map rail crossings as places of extreme danger that make the vehicle go slower automatically. Rail crossings, like road crossings are death traps. They should not exist, they are bugs to be solved with roundabouts and bridges or underground pass.

Also does not make sense that Tesla could not detect extremely bright lights indicating danger.

> The segment of the international community that matters is fully on board with Israel's existence.

I disagree. US policy in this area, for instance, is being significantly influenced by the fact that there are protests at major universities in support of Hamas, and elected politicians who are advocating the same thing. (And by that I mean explicitly supporting the Hamas objective of destroying Israel.)

> the Arab countries have in the recent past explicitly endorsed proposals to recognize Israel

In other words, they don't currently support Israel's existence, but they might decide to if enough of their demands are met. Which concedes my point.

The reason this matters is that the UK and Colombia were only able to even consider the options they ended up taking to resolve their conflicts because they knew that no matter what, their existence as nation states was not in question. Israel does not have that assurance, and that means they do not feel able to consider those kinds of options.

Or, to put it another way, as I have said in several other posts elsewhere in this discussion, this conflict is an existential conflict for Israel. Northern Ireland was not an existential conflict for the UK, and FARC was not an existential conflict for Colombia. That makes a huge difference.
