So let’s set aside for just a moment the notion of single payer healthcare as an answer to this. Why hasn’t a point of competitiveness between insurance companies ever been that they keep your workforce healthier, more productive, and easier to retain than the competition?

The biggest cost to an employer is always their roster. The fewer sick days people need, the less burnout causes them to churn, and the healthier and happier people are overall, the lower the training, recruiting, and redundant staffing cost.

It feels natural to me that in an employer paid healthcare system like the one we have in the us, the employer should demand the highest quality coverage possible by that metric as long as it reduces staffing overheads.
That some Israelis believe the settlements help security makes much more sense considering what happened after Israel disengaged from Gaza and uprooted all settlements there - things became much much worse (both for Israel and for Gaza) as I think we all can agree.
Another thing is that Israel is in the middle of a horrible war so the public mood for obvious reasons goes much more to the right. If you ask the Palestinian public questions about peace prospects you wouldn't hear a lot of great things either.

If push came to shove most Israelis wouldn't care at all if settlements are uprooted again just like Israel did in Gaza, the only Israelis out protesting last time Israel took out settlements were religious Zionists: determined, loud, sometimes violent but definitely not mainstream. No one else cared much.

Even the pew numbers you are showing tell that even now the settlements at the very least are controversial in Israel and definitely not mainstream (no majority is saying they help security).
HomePod would be a fantastic device if it didn’t have Siri and was just a decent speaker with AirPlay… as is it sits unplugged somewhere in my garage because I got sick of it butting in to every conversation where anyone said anything like “see ree”.

I'm trying to push the boundaries of SQL by building Anyquery[1]. It's a SQL query engine that allows you to run queries on anything (GitHub, Todoist, Parquet, Google Sheets, logs, emails, etc.)

It's mental gymnastics to transform different data sources (e.g. a spreadsheet) into a SQL database with write support, but I do enjoy the journey and learn a lot from it.

there are other low-hanging fruit EU governments could do to address crime, NL has basically become a narcostate and they are just sitting by and watching - Telegram is not the problem.
I've been learning how to use Blender. For a long time I've thought that working with things in 3D could be made simpler by having an app where your phone is a sort of 3D cursor, and e.g. for modeling you could use your phone as a sculpting knife by moving it around in the air.

So I spent some time trying to make an app that allows you to do that, but can't shake the thought that such an app would work better as a Blender addon/plugin rather a standalone app. And I also am trying to figure out how people work with 3D currently, to see if such a tool would even be an improvement over existing tools.
This is a nice 2-D metaphor:

Sadly iirc the US laws that makes GDPR compliance problematic cover subsidiaries so making them independant enough is probably more or less impossible in practice.
Iirc a while ago i saw an article about lidl offering it services (mainly server collocation) and the price was indeed interesting.

Also, if lidl plays this right, there are a bunch of engineers in Europe, currently working for faangs in places like Dublin and London, highly skilled and and quite desperate to go and live somewhere with a lower cost of living.

I'm going to apologize for my ignorance upfront here, but I was under the impression that China isn't protecting local companies. It is making the companies it can directly control the only available option. Perhaps you're referring to something other than just controlling technology and information. I'd be interested in knowing more if there's something specific you had in mind
I too have noticed this difference in mentality but I'd be curious to hear what do you think are the most salient differences.
Sounds like you glossed over the phrase “in other subreddits”, which is the secret sauce. The point of my phrasing was not to suggest that you aim to be uncivil, but to highlight that the above works even for those who do aim to. So, surely, it should work for you, too.
This articles speak directly to what I believe will become the unfortunate and inconvenient reality of LLMs' core limitation: at some point, someone has to 1) benefit from what's been generated and 2) (and more importantly) know they're benefiting from what's been generated.

If for example you have an LLM agent that's effectively "solved" every security flaw your software may encounter for the next 50 years, unless it can simultaneously impart 50 years of training to the people who rely on the software, it's done nothing but introduce us to more complex flaws that we would need approximately 49 more years of experience to tackle ourselves.

My guess is that despite the strong long term overall link, it's too difficult to draw a meaingful link between any particular executive decision on this and any particular outcome, causing a tragedy of the commons. I think it's a good guess because it's a powerful explanation for many other such questions about "Why don't they just ____?"

Why not a mining operation in the Antarctic? Or the Sahara? Or in the Mariana Trench?

As all these options are cheaper and easier than asteroid mining, and as none of these bright-eyed ‘entrepreneurs’ are undertaking these tasks, I can only assume the things being ‘mined’ are gullible investors. (Not that I’m blaming them… what’s easier? Finding an asteroid with a precious metal, mining it and getting it back to earth at less the cost of mining it here? Or, finding a gullible venture capitalist who will cover your salary for a few years? Probable the latter…)

This is a great and important topic, one that I’ve bumped into against in past code. I think I understand the basics of time/zones/storage.

However, on one codebase I worked on in the past, dates were stored in mysql in a datetime field, with the time set to 00:00:00, iirc.

I’m hoping someone knowledgeable about this topic could comment on this. I never could discover why it was done that way. It wrong? Is it right? Based on the other threads here, it seems wrong, but maybe there’s a non-obvious reason to do it this way?
I would perceive a life ban from Zuckerberg a badge of honor. Congrats to this person!

Personally, would have just open sourced the project. Then Zuck would have to spend engineering time (and employ more people) to “combat” these types of usability hacks which reduce their bottom line.

Similar to how YouTube is in a perpetual battle with the entire world over ad blocking on the platform.

Personally, I just stopped using FB/IG all together. Much happier. And relationships are much more meaningful. No more filters/ai/thinly veiled bullshit/“curated ads”.
Sports only make money at the point of the most elite college programs, usually mainly its the football or basketball program that subsidizes the rest of the athletic program.

I think its more you become aware of where you stand fast. You go to meets or games of a bunch of different schools and see who is literally the best in the area. You go to state competitions and see who is best in the entire state. And then there are nationals where you see who is best in the entire nation. Throughout this your stats are posted online where you and college scouts can see them.

Academics have no comparison. We struggle to even compare grades because of grade inflation.
You can name the NSA, it’s not illegal to do it (not in Europe at least —- pun intended)
> if they truly believed all speech is as valuable as all other speech

That's a strawman. They believe all speech should be held legally equal, not that's it's value is equal.

It's that any speech has the potential to be extremely valuable to the person not responsible for regulating it.
Do you advertise the Twitter account? That is, do you pay for the blue checkmark? Just curious
optimizing for people who do competitive programming means you optimize for education culture where repetitive practicing of a routine is important in contrast to education cultures where careful thought and planning and critical thinking matters more.

in other words it benefits cultures heavily into all kinds of olympiads from age 5 on… i will not elaborate further as you know what i mean.

Same - the friends it churns up posts from tend to be the ones posting inflammatory political garbage. Unfollowing them doesn't always stick, I've observed. I call this the "facebook oopsie" - "oops we reset your privacy settings - again".

Facebook ads are egregiously bad. Overwhelmingly scammy: Drop-shippers pretending they are having a going-out-of-business sale, products priced double or triple where they are priced elsewhere. And of course, I've started seeing straight up malvertising campaigns which somehow made it through review. ("somehow" being - paid ads get little scrutiny)

If Facebook groups hadn't totally taken over a few communities I want to be a part of (car enthusiast groups, local fishing groups), I would probably never check it. Actually, less and less my friends and family post there, preferring other social networks, if any.

This is what they were talking about, exposure __does not require__ you get sick. You can still be exposed, but you don't need to let the concentrations of pathogens to build up in stale air over the course of a school day.

The results aren't in yet, and of course will be subject to reproduction/duplicatation, but I suspect that's what we're seeing here. People (children) are still getting sick, just less so, presumably because they're getting exposed to lower concentrations of pathogens. The article doesn't make it clear (or I missed it) if the reduction is in severity (time spent recovering from being sick), frequency (number of times one gets sick), or a combination thereof. If I'm right, I'd expect it to be a reduction stemming from both reduced frequency/severity.
Try find the Feeds section, from there you can select Friends.

On iPhone it’s in More -> Feeds. They really work to hide it.

The main caveat is it only shows a few days worth of activity. But it’s still better than the main feed.
I don’t know what is going on at Meta but they are killing their cash cow.

I don’t mind the Youtube algorithm, it used to be better but it’s still good enough. I don’t use Youtube with an account so I have gotten good at “training” it and getting it to show stuff I’m actually interested in. The X algorithm is not bad either, if I post art related stuff it will only show me art related stuff.

Is that information even possible to know? I believe in the US arrest warrants are generally sealed before an arrest is made.
Ah, Americans don’t move around much. At least not any more. Can’t find the figure right now, but an astonishing % live within 10 minutes or so of wherever they grew up.
I heard it directly from a YC alum who said he helped me push a post to the top. But this was several years ago. I didn't mean that YC alums would be less likely to upvote that particular article, but it does make the rankings much more unpredictable.
They’re not protectionist, they’re about self-sufficiency and about lowering dependency on third parties, and it’s a good thing in my opinion.
Never heard of Rumble but I gather it's like a conservative YouTube or something?

That's not really comparable with telegram IMO.
Seriously, this is impressive for a company of their size. Almost anywhere else it would be pushed through to preserve the status of whichever leaders championed the whole thing, to hell with the long-term consequences.

Grandparent said, "BD in 2020 was acquired by Hyundai for $1.1B."

Well, there is your answer: BD's market prospects are too meager for it to be worth Apple's management team's ongoing attention. (Apple's current market prospects are valuable enough that Apple has a current market cap of $3.45 trillion.)

(Also, Hyundai might not want to sell it.)
Those are rare and usually heavily alumni donor subsidized.
Unless other items it’s colliding with also have explicit z-index, there’s no need to mess with it, just make sure the background is opaque.
> We probably can't significantly reduce the total

That's ridiculous. During the crisis times of covid, the incidences of other communicable disease dropped significantly. Plus, to be frank, this is just an idiotic suggestion with zero reasons to think there's some set number of days people are sick. Before having kids in daycare I was rarely sick. I had a child not in daycare and was never sick. Now we're sick all the time, which wouldn't happen if my wife could stay home with them or we didn't have kids.
The receiving end shared your message with the administrators? E2e doesn't mean you aren't allowed to do what you want with the messages you receive, they are yours.
At this point I think it’s less of an algorithm and more of a random number generator that picks out spam to show to people.
> if the government knows about someone selling drugs and does nothing about it, you can sue the government.

at least in the US, there are only a few limited times the government is open to civil litigation - and nonenforcement of the law is not usually one of them
I didn't mean to be vague, I meant to be general. I don't know which other agencies have this kind of unchecked power.
There's a simpler explanation. Those providers make an earnest attempt to obey western law.
There has been a number of these studies in schools and hospitals showing HEPA filters reduce up to about 2/3rd of infections. We now know many viruses are airborne including Covid and Al Hubbard's studies on how long virus is viable has shown it can be hours and it's helped by high CO2. Air circulation and reducing CO2 makes a big difference as well.
French lawyer here, it's difficult to know anything as of now given that's all the information is covered by secrecy as long as he's in preliminary custody.

Neither him nor his lawyers have access to the procedure yet.

This will last for 48 hours from his arrest - it can be 96 hours if they decide his suspected crimes are about drugs or prostitution, and even 144 hours if it's about terrorism.

So we'll probably need to wait for a few days before understanding what this is really about.
You can simply join those channels. Getting an invite is not hard, or even unnecessary, from what I hear.
This rebuttalakes no sense to me. What you cite is about about transport encryption. App -> Server. The end of the process is that the receiver (Telegram servers) receives a decrypted (plaintext) message, just as kelsey98765431 is saying.
If you have an appropriately sized filter holder, I would just install a MERV 13 or 16 filter. They’re very cost effective, widely available, and they will remove non-living crud, too.

The main problem is that many central air systems use crappy thin filter holders. A good low-resistance filter needs a lot of area, and a 4” or 5” thick format works well, 2” is marginal, and 1” sucks. A good filter holder costs under $200, takes very little effort to install in a new system, and is an incredible pain to retrofit into an existing system. And good filters are essentially unsupported in ductless systems.
What do you mean by DACH mentality?
I was in the Apple Store in Regent's Street in London yesterday. They had Vision on display. The headbands were already visibly dirty and nobody was looking at them anyway. At £3,500 it's no wonder why. My personal take on Vision is that it was created to shut up Wall Street asking why Apple does not have a VR vision/product? So they produced a product that will join Pippin and Newton and will kill it before Wall Street starts asking why they have a VR product when nobody else is investing in VR?
For Reddit it is a bit documented how some power-mods used to flood subreddits with child porn to get them taken down. It was seemingly done with the administration's best wishes. Not sure if it still going on, but some of these people are certainly around, in the same positions.

I hear a lot of complaints about edtech from the teacher I’m married to, and this is a common thread in how it fails: it tries to automate away the classroom experience rather than empower the instructor. Most teachers, good ones anyway, don’t want to spend less time teaching, they want to spend less time fussing around with bullshit like marking late assignments complete in two different systems and responding to irate parent emails to reassure them that the assignment actually is marked complete where it matters, just not in the system they’re looking at. Not only do a lot of these systems try to automate the wrong thing — instruction — they totally fail where it counts by making more work for the teacher.
I used to do this but it would keep reverting me back to the spam feed so I just gave up on FB.
> It would still wear rubber away just like tires do.

It’s been a hot minute since I learnt rolling friction in high school physics but (iirc) a very interesting and unintuitive aspect of it is that there’s always an opposing/slowing force on a (rubber) wheel. Only a slippping wheel will not experience a slowdown. Static friction is different from rolling friction, and (I think) can offer zero wear in ideal conditions - but rolling wear is always non-zero.
Not everyone is polite. One might argue that most people aren't.
You can! It works best if the water isn’t cloudy.

You can also get chlorine dioxide tablet systems that are less nasty tasting.
But why don’t they arrest them for allowing it to happen? Phone calls should be actively moderated to block customers who speak about terrorist activity.
In a lot of tests Corsi Rosenthal boxes tend to outperform most commercial offerings and they are very cheap as they are a box fan duct taped to some MERV13 filters. Effectiveness is a lot about air exchanges an hour.
No reports from Somalia unfortunately, but as the ones I did read were all written by US diplomatic personnel, that's probably to be expected.

Independent hackathons that are open to the public can be fun (though frustrating at times as well). Internal corporate "hackathons" are horseshit. They're just a way for executives to feel like they're part of the big boys.
I don't agree with both of your two points. The AIBO was more like an experiment, Sony didn't go bankrupt because of it as much as Microsoft, Google, Meta are not going bankrupt from failed projects. Fail is in their playbook and not as risky as you think. For example, for a startup it could mean their closing.

Regarding Apple, they are completely relevant in the market. They have business challenges and good competitors (e.g. Samsung). Most probably when we read about Apple exploring robotics is because there are many projects we don't know about because of their known secrecy.

Superconductor Theory: Cooper pairs show wave-like distribution in Kagome metals
One interesting element is that, while solar needs storage, nuclear needs storage too: the demand is not flat, and become more and more non-flat when decarbonizing the energy sector. For the nuclear, there are two possibilities: 1) over-building centrals, such that they produce the energy corresponding to the peak, but then "dumping" the excess energy otherwise. But this is extremely costly, because the driver of the nuclear cost are upfront: if a central can generate X energy at 100% of the time and costed Y to be build, the price will be Y/X, but if you generate X energy but at 50%, the price will be 2*Y/X. 2) build storage.

So, the storage problem is not a renewable problem, it's something that the grid needs no matter what. In these condition, if the grid needs storage both in case of solar and in case of nuclear, it's not really an argument against renewable anymore.
The Sud-Ouest article must have been updated because the version currently online does not mention that at all. Quite the opposite, the article quotes an official that was surprised that Durov would come to Paris anyway even though he knew he was under an arrest warrant in France, and another source says that he might have decided to come in France anyway because he believed he'll never be held accountable.
