What Are Open Data Infomediaries and What Is Their Role in Open Data Ecosystems?
The eggs can be kept that way because they aren’t washed like they are in the USA and that process removes a valuable layer that keeps eggs shelf stable for quite a while; in the USA it washed away and to keep the eggs fresh they’re refrigerated instead. I have no idea which way is best.

I think the experience with the Shuttle shows that NASA was fundamentally unable to produce an economically viable product. They simply aren't structured to be able to do that -- the political structure around them prevents it, regardless of the level of funding.

It's the same reason private companies in competitive industries outperform government design bureaus.
Volkswagen comes to mind. Their diesel models were withdrawn(?) from the US and one of their executives arrested when they travelled to the US.

What outcry will accompany this similar fraud? Will Toyota cars be withdrawn from the US market? Who will be arrested for fraud?
No downvote from me. My wife did her Univerity thesis on this topic, and it's hard to correct for 100 years of RCTs that didn't consider gender, and were mostly male-centric. Never mind a system that churned out mostly male doctors. However, in most Western European countries, we now have a good balance of male/female doctors (trending massively towards more females) and being not believed is much less of an issue.
it's not a free open project if only part of it is open and the development is done by a central company that sells the other half.

> In April 2023, Altman suggested to board members that Adam D’Angelo, the CEO of the question-and-answer site Quora, step down from the board after Quora began developing its own generative AI chatbot called Poe, which is also an OpenAI customer, people familiar with the discussions said. Other directors disagreed that the move was necessary. D’Angelo is the only director still on the board among those who temporarily ousted Altman in November.

Interesting. I don't know much about D'Angelo, but find Quora to be an abomination.

It completely ignores the first principle of information that copying information makes it better. Anyone who does not understand that digital copyright is one of the worst ideas ever, and who puts paywalls on their site, I find it hard to trust. It's either stupidity or greed. A complete lack of first principle thinking. There's no justifiable reason for it.
You can't fix stupid.
The same thing that you're getting with the $15k Markforged Mark 2 FDM printers: Convenience and reliability.

When you're paying each engineer on your team $100k+, you don't want them spending that time fiddling with printer settings. You want to buy a $500 roll of carbon-fiber nylon and a $15k printer, put the two together, and have them call someone to have them fix it when it doesn't "just work."

The expectation that it just works (whether it does or not) totally justifies the price tag to an industrial customer's purchasing department which will be accustomed to 6, 7, and 8 figure price tags for CNC equipment.
By that calculation Spotify is way cheaper. If I kept up my CD purchase habit at the same rate as I did in the 90s and to accommodate my exploration of music that Spotify et al have enabled I would have many thousands by now.
So fascinating! TIL that:
1. People farmed pigeons in the 17th century, which makes me wonder at what point chickens were introduced.
2. England and France seemingly have no native root vegetables to plant for winter.
You can still have 3 high quality ones, it's just that maintaining quality at all the side chars is too expensive, so maybe the generated experience can reach the already "meh" level for those, thus freeing resources to be invested in the bigger paths?

As also explained in the conclusion of the paper linked by you, "photon-counting" detectors are possible only when the energy of one photon is high enough, which happens only for infrared light or for higher frequencies.

"Photon-counting" methods cannot be implemented at frequencies so low as used in 5G networks or in any other traditional radio communications.
This is not a bug, it's a feature. You have the ability to handle errors at defined points. As reality is such that errors can happen at any of these points, being able to gracefully handle them is as good as it gets. If you want to compose error handling along the type-of-error axis or the await-point-axis, the language already provides tools for you to do so. Again, not being able to blatantly ignore these errors is a feature, not a bug.

In NodeJS/Browser environments, you have the exact same behavior where promises you are awaiting can get rejected.

Looking to work on some creative projects, I focus on creating interesting things that people would want to use or that make you think. Open for whatever.
Here's a recent X post I wrote entitled "What I learned about startup founders from being the worst pilot in the AirWing."

At the age of 25, I was sent straight from my F/A-18 training squadron to a forward deployed squadron aboard the USS Nimitz.

The fastest way to build a reputation as the New Guy is safe and predictable carrier landings. The fastest way to be put on notice is to suck behind the boat.

Within 2 weeks, I was solidly in the latter category. I struggled deeply, especially with night landings.

At first, I kept catching the “one-wire,” meaning I was too low when crossing the back of the ship.

Then, in later flights, to compensate, I started “boltering” a lot – meaning I’d put on too much power at the end, fly too high, and miss all the wires completely. Then I’d have to circle around for another attempt.

There was one night where I went around 5 times before finally catching a wire and landing. I expended so much fuel in doing so I had to hit the airborne tanker to refuel about halfway through.

I was ranked 98 out of 99 pilots in the AirWing after my first six weeks.

I was on notice. Whenever I came in to land, all the senior aviators aboard the ship nervously watched to see what would happen.

Then the bottom fell out. One night I landed the first time – but caught another one-wire. Over the common carrier frequency came the Voice of God. This was incredibly rare – the carrier CO never interrupted carrier ops.

“Son, I can’t have you landing like that aboard my ship.”

I was petrified – and what little confidence I had was destroyed. As I taxied off the landing area and was waiting for the plane to be chained to the deck, in the pitch black, I let my guard down and accidentally released the brakes. I almost ran over the plane captain – and was only saved because my back-seater screamed “brakes!” to me.

When I returned to the ready room, I got reamed out by my squadron CO. I was benched.

Those were the two longest days of my Navy career. I didn’t know if I would cut it. I saw no way out.

Then the skipper sent me back up. I was terrified – but he knew the only way to get confidence back was to Do the Hard Thing.

Again and again. And again.

Eventually, I figured it out. I was never better than middle of the pack in landing grades – but I was safe and predictable. I also found other areas to excel in, like air-to-air tactics.

This dark period in my life gave me a deep understanding of grit and resilience.

In conversations with founders, I now know what to look for in how people respond to challenging situations. How one responds in dark moments – and which people believed in them enough to give them another shot.

I also now have a desire to seek out the hard moments to walk beside high potential folks who hit the inevitable roadblocks in life.

It’s in the those moments where thought partnership matters most – and where being there matters most.

Do Hard Things. Keep moving forward.

You will figure this out.

Why weren't commoners allowed to build dovecotes? Did they think the carrying capacity of the land was limited to what the lords could eat? Would pigeons see other dovecotes and decide to roost there instead of the lord's?
That’s a pet peeve of mine so I’ll chime in.

I’ve actually used it self hosted pretty much since posthog launched and moved to their cloud after a couple years. Our product blew up and it was difficult to scale, as well as a few hosted only features that we needed (by then we raised and could afford it).

I also contributed code (and got some swag) which was promptly merged.

They’ve also open sourced how they run the company and onboarding (similar to GitLab).

All in all I think posthog is one of the most balanced open source product in the market, in terms of the easiness of self hosting, the feature set, the engineering culture, openness and business model.

If you don’t have a lot of traffic self hosted is excellent and can take you very far.

> If you’re storing doubly linked lists in a DB you’re doing it wrong.

This was my reaction on finding that TFA's key example is a doubly-linked list. I've never implemented any kind of linked list in a database; nor have I ever come across someone else's schema that involved linked lists. The kinds of operation you do on linked lists (traverse, insert, append, delete) all involve sequences of row accesses that can't be (conveniently?) described in SQL, so they have to be expressed as multiple distinct accesses.

More generally, I'm suspicious of a schema in which a table contains a "foreign" key to itself. Foreign keys are keys to other tables.

I haven't given it any thought; but could there have been a better example? Or is updating a doubly-linked list the best illustration of why SI is dangerous?
Most of my holdings are VTI, so I surely own some of RealPage and any other publicly traded firm like this. I don't care. Burn that entire part of the market. I cannot stomach that my investment returns are on the backs of the homeless.
And what is this consensus based upon outside of what is most beneficial for their field of study? As stated in the article we have not found any infected animals, no antibodies or samples pointing to infected animals, no precursor viruses found circulating in any animals species, no separate spillover events nothing. This is something we find for all spillovers and all of this evidence was uncovered almost immediately for SARS1/MERS. Take a look at the current bird flu situation cropping up, whenever we find a case, we find infected animals at the farm, we find the virus in animals during random sampling, we find the virus in raw milk, we observe many independent outbreaks etc.

How is it that such an infectious virus no longer exists in any animal population? It's as if after the first human got infected the virus simply vanished off the face of the Earth like some sort of immaculate infection. Now how come when humans infected cats/dogs/deer etc. via reverse zoonosis that SARS2 didn't stop circulating in humans?
Deregulation is great when the law is unfounded or unfair. There is much to little “revisiting” of laws to see if they actually did what they said they did. Otherwise said regulation is useless and just costing society wasted energy and time. I think we need more government agencies studying such things to create a feedback loop so that if it’s failing it gets removed.
being adaquate at programming and able to pick up IT stuff quickly got me a job, and eventually, a really good, well paid job. That put me in a new house.

being adequate, even good, at rowing didn't get me anything but sunburn. had a good time, mind you -- love being on the water -- but I probably could have spent that time learning Ham Radio, carpentry, ceramics, or vollyball -- or some combination of those. might never have been good at rowing, or ceramics, etc., but it's one of those Opportunity-Cost things
Currently registration is eventually enforced. I need to remove some logic to make it restricted to only happen for one niche database as I use the email to reach out to large finance firms to finance the dev effort.

>>Would need to support Redshift via an ssh tunnel for me to use it on a regular basis.
Redshift has definitely moved up the priority list lately. I will look into it.
I used to care about Spotify's innovation but they still haven't made anything close to as interesting as the APIs and dev platforms they used to promote and then killed. Also Echonest.

Somehow the base functionality has been stuck in a one-step-forward-one-step-back loop for the past 5 years or so.
I think you're confusing different engines: Newcomen's first practical engine used for pumping water out of mines predates Arkwright's water powered Cromford Mill by over 60 years and Watt's steam engine by 75. Watt's engine allowed other industries to mechanize without water power so that's the cutoff most people use for the industrial revolution, but coal miners were using a less efficient engine for over half a century by that point.

> Outsized results are almost always caused by a confluence of many interacting factors rather than a single explanation like coal deposits.

That's a complete strawman. I wasn't making that argument at all; quite the opposite! It was the confluence of factors that drove England to use coal that are responsible for the industrial revolution like the population boom, England's geography and dependence on pasture rather than more productive agricultural land leading to deforestation and a robust textile industry, and so on.
Thought I should share, I know a lot of engineers that totally avoid job listings without a salary range. Y'all might want to consider including that.

Or Intel's repeated failures to roll out a working <14nm processes forced them to cripple even the P-core AVX-512 implementation (one less ALU port compared to Xeon Gold), rip out whatever compatibility feature they wanted to put in the E-cores and Microsoft refused to implement workarounds in Windows (e.g. make AVX-512 opt-in and restrict threads that enabled it to P-cores, reschedule threads faulting on AVX-512 instructions from E-core to P-cores).

She always seems more of a drama activist than a real activist but she has every right to be that. If her drama gets more young people involved in environmental issues it’s win-win. I bear her no ill will, but I don’t seek out news about her. So she’s certainly not considered with a blanket status of “person non grata”

"Add an entire day to the calendar, no one bats an eye. And one second and everyone loses their minds".

I think the main issue with dealing with leap seconds is really a lack of awareness. Our calendars are already full of idiosyncrasies, but we've learned to deal with them just fine. When UTC was created, so was Atomic Time (TAI). The overwhelming majority of systems are unaffected by leap seconds, for the few that are, it would simply be a matter of using TAI instead of UTC, and having software to readily convert between the two.
Isn't sending more than one photon always "repetition" in that sense? Classical systems probably don't do that because of the engineering complexity of sending a single photon at a time -- we had oscillators and switches, not single photon emitters.
All space agencies have optical comms in their road maps. Largely they are thinking about inter satellite communications (the atmosphere causes significant issues when going back to earth). So the main application is to have some relay satellite that can then transmit to earth via RF. The application is not mainly deep space ropes but Leo or meo satellites, the typically only have very short transit times over the ground stations, so can't get all their measurement data down. By using e.g. a geo relay they can transmit lots of data optically and the geo relay can more slowly transmit the data to earth until the leo satellite comes back in view.
