I prefer the antifragile metaphor.

"The immune system is an example of antifragility in the natural world since an effective response is only produced in the presence of an antigen threat, but the response leaves the body better able to respond in future. The presence of an antigen activates the immune response, which not only deals with the immediate challenge through the innate immune system in the short term and long term through the adaptive immune system but also provides ongoing protection against this and similar future threats through the immunological memory of B cells. In other words, exposure to an invading antigen leaves the body stronger than before, so the stressor has created a benefit that was neither present nor possible before it occurred."

And see the -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variolation

"Variolation was the method of inoculation first used to immunize individuals against smallpox (Variola) with material taken from a patient or a recently variolated individual, in the hope that a mild, but protective, infection would result. Only 1–2% of those variolated died from the intentional infection compared to 30% who contracted smallpox naturally. Variolation is no longer used today. It was replaced by the smallpox vaccine, a safer alternative. This in turn led to the development of the many vaccines now available against other diseases."
That sounds like some creative interpretation.
It was well known in antiquity that the earth was round, they even managed to calculate it‘s radius. (as well as the size and distance of the noon and the sun).

The idea that everything was made up of 4 elements (or a rather a combination of those) also assumed a round earth. Early things are heaviest and sink to the bottom, water is lighter than earth, air lighter than water and fire is lighter than air (that’s why the stars, made up of fire, are at the very top)

The church never disputed the earth being round.
They were pretty adamant about it being the center of the cosmos though, with the sun orbiting it.
I agree on using paper, it's the only thing that works for me.

Yes, it still sucks, but so do uncontrolled chronic bacterial infections.
"Playing out an alternative future" is "prophesizing" with more words, and prophets always claim to have some basis to predict the future, but nobody can. That's why I'm not interested in prophesizing about what might have happened had reality been different.

You mentioned rent costs, though: I'm happy to hear the rent costs before vs. after private equity sold the land out from under the restaraunts – it sounded like you were saying you're in a position to access those numbers? Given your excellent posting history, I trust that you want to engage from a place of intellectual honesty in that regard.

As it stands now, all we know is that, post private equity, they were jacked up so much that the stores struggled to pay. So how much was it exactly?
When are we going to start taking this seriously?
Presumably being able to make money spinning up cheapo servers, via Azure, just reinforces that decision.
Yes, it's impossible and it's true for every asset that's not a commodity. It's why unrealized gains tax is DOA.

I guess it's not impossible, we do it for property tax on real estate. There are real costs though.
Limited storage space is a valid argument I guess, though with music / everything streaming these days I’ve always struggled to see how you’d fill up a 128gb phone. And I’ve obviously got no data to support this but i suspect the cross number of people downloading the Oral B toothbrush app on 4G internet out and about would be low. Feels like the number of people in developing countries buying an app-enabled toothbrush would be similar.

Oh wow, that's interesting, thanks for sharing. I was experimenting with the Pixel Recorder app, which calls into the AICore system service, which calls into the Protected Download API to download its models. Based on the URLs ("pixelai-models" vs "aicore-models") it looks like Pixel Screenshots is doing its own thing and not using AICore.

- I said it was a vast generalization

- I explicitly said both "sides" dislike nuclear, and made no proclamations about which "side" was more anti-nuclear, so pointing out that "red states have nuclear plants" is a non sequitur

- There are quite a few party-independent factors at work as well, obviously, such as the need for plants to be near running water, and the fact that NIMBY anti-nuclear pressure is higher in more populous areas which tend to skew blue

- Red/blue maps at the state level are nearly useless for anything but discussing electoral politics; all states have individual counties that are intensely red or intensely blue, so this level of detail tells us nothing of use
Sure, but pretty much my only considerations were the quality of brushing, cost of new brushes, and general reliability. The one I thought was best and in-budget just happened to have these anti-features too, which fortunately I don't have to use.

It wasn't worth it to me to spend more time on it to see if I could find something without the connected crap.

If we do, and SpaceX takes its place, it's only a matter of time before SpaceX ends up in with the exact same problems. It's not fair to compare the two companies on an apples to apples basis, as the rules they operate under may as well be from different planets.

Boeing's problems come from the regulatory environment and congressional horse trading that created it. SpaceX doesn't have these constraints for now, but the moment SpaceX replaces Boeing all that scrutiny and backroom dealing that created Boeing will start to carry over.
SpaceX's finances are also largely unknown, they could be burning more money than NASA on experimental flights.
That is blatantly false in my experience.

I once was administered an in-person WAIS-IV IQ test, which has been called the "Gold Standard of IQ Tests," from a licensed clinical psychologist for the purposes of diagnosing a medical syndrome.

On the verbal reasoning portion, I distinctively remember being asked two questions that sat wrong with me (paraphrasing):

1. "Who was Sacagawea?"

2. "Who was Catherine the Great?"

There were also vague questions in the word definition/comparison section.

I distinctively remember one of the questions being (paraphrasing):

"Compare and contrast the two words 'Practical' and 'Pragmatic.' What do the two words have in common and what are their differences?"

My issue, especially with the latter question, is what type of answer is acceptable?

I could say something like, "'Practical' and 'Pragmatic' both describe being concerned with reality or feasibility vs. theory."

But what about the differences? What if I said something like, "Well, there is no such things a 'Pragmatic' joke."

Would I have been correct, wrong, a smart ass, or at the mercy of the psychologist's opinion? Would I be marked wrong because it wasn't what the test authors' intended answer despite me being technically correct?
with batch sizes in the millions less so, but agreed it's still a differentiating attribute. I would solve that higher up in the protocols that used it, as the initialization keys shouldn't be related to post-provisioning keys in a way that is verifiable to anyone except the OEM, again arguable, but it's a higher level protocol question imo.
I'm genuinely curious, for someone who develops web application backends and larger distributed systems & infrastructure, predominantly using Go and Python, exclusively targeting Linux, is there anything in the .NET ecosystem that anyone would recommend I take a look at? Many thanks.
The Home Assistant integration works very well (once I figured out how to configure it.)

PQ has largely transitioned away from soverignity and largely campaigns on culture war issues like Bill 21 and immigration.

Only voters who are 65+ are split on soverignity. Every other age demographic overwhelmingly supports remaining in Canada [0]

This can be seen with the CAQ, which has poached most of the PQ's leadership and campaigns almost entirely on Bill 21 and immigration [1], not on "Quebec Libre"

I'm not so sure that "solving" accessibility at the browser level would eliminate those kinds of lawsuits. It might be able to be argued that their "client" uses a different browser that doesn't include those accessibility features, and the website in question (that relies on the browsers fixing accessibility) isn't ADA compliant in that case.
no, it really wasn't that long ago.
This is patently absurd and seems like a fallacy of analyzing everything through systems.

Systems always matter and systems sometimes matter the most but I would reckon a majority of the time, systems don’t matter and focusing too much on systems leads to wrong conclusions like yours.

Why does the average SpaceX employee try to do a good job? Think of the employee as an isolated piece. Some amount of it is intrinsic, humans like doing great work but not all humans are angels, and in a company as big as spaceX to perform well, intrinsic motivation is unlikely to be the root cause. No the average employee does a good job because his boss would fire him otherwise.

In the case of SpaceX this is not hyperbole. SpaceX is known to have a typical brutal work culture synonymous with Elons “hard-core” philosophy, you’re expected to put 100 hour work weeks, get results very fast or you’re shown the door. It has been documented that even significant life events like birth of a new born are no excuse to stop working 120% in SpaceX.

So the average employee, works because his boss would fire him, the boss works because he is under even higher pressure that his boss would fire him and so on you can climb up the ladder and you will realize that SpaceX is motivated because Elon is motivated and Elon would have them all fired the second he thinks they are not giving their 120% to work. Boeing does not matter to Elons motivation, it never did. Elon has his reasons for being motivated, he says it’s to reach Mars, but who knows what really drives a man, the fact is he has instituted a culture that expects excellence and dedication from its employees and employees are responding to that local feedback.

My prediction would be if Boeing dies today, it will not slow down SpaceX one second, but if Boeing actually speeds up, then Elon would drive his employees to insanity till they catch up to Boeing or fail as a business. Boeing can only add value to the upside if they get their act together which seems unlikely.

I mean, yes, but they also love playing the "Firehose of falsehood game", and playing with 'Bullshit Asymmetry'.

The problem with reality is it's way more complex than binary, things are not black and white. If you can't have and control a single news station, then make thousands of them that take small pieces of truth and stir them in a bucket of shit. Pump countless dollars of petro money into these sources so they have extreme reach into societies. Use the latest targeting tools to pull these people into their own little reality tunnels they'll have a hard time getting out of. Watch and laugh as the nation collapses in its own civil war.

How much does a country allow foreign actors to dictate what their citizens hear?
French-Canadians are not anything like English Canadians, except in the minds of English Canadians who don't know any better. English Canadians like to think we are one great nation, but we are in fact two great nations, deeply divided (more than that if you include indigenous peoples, which you should).

French-speaking Quebecers self-identify as follows:

- Canadians first, and Quebecois second.

- Quebecois first, and Canadian second.

- Quebecois, and not Canadian at all.

The majority of French-speaking Quebecois do not self-identify as being in the first category, and a very significant percentage identify as being in the third category, with a plurality falling into the second category. I think it's safe to say that almost all French Canadians in Quebec identify as culturally Quebecois.

I lived in Quebec during the Cultural Revolution in the 80s, and was there for the first referendum, but I left because it became clear that Montreal was a bad place to be if I wanted to raise English-speaking children. In the end, I didn't feel any great need to pay for the sins of centuries of Quebec Anglophones that weren't my ancestors.

Once you wander outside of Montreal, into the countryside, dislike of Anglophones is common to the point that it feels almost dangerous, and gets even worse the closer you get to Quebec City.

In my experience, tolerance of Anglophones in Montreal has decreased dramatically in recent years. I was in a clothing store on St. Catherine, neer Bishop Street (once the heart of Anglophone Montreal). When two American tourists came in, and asked for help, the young shopkeeper responded: "On ne parle pas Anglais ici" (one does not speak English here).

A friend of mine graduated from a high school in Westmount (home to the Anglophone elite, most pointedly hated by Francophones). He said that of his friends in high school, none had remained in Quebec, because even though all of them spoke fluent French, being Anglophones, they were not able to find jobs.

Shedding Extra Complexity and Shipping Side Projects
That was done, by executive order during wartime, to some underperforming manufacturing companies during WWII. Here's that story, by the Navy admiral who personally led the takeover of the plants.[2] The Navy fired the C-suite of the Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, at 10 AM on December 8, 1943, for incompetence.
"Mr. McCoomb was informed that he, Mr. Alfred F. Smith, and the comptroller, Mr. Beeman, were informed that they were no longer on the payroll of the plant". Eventually the Government had to settle up with the stockholders, but the C-suite people were gone.

Some San Francisco Bay Area police departments were whining also recently that minor crimes spread out in different cities and counties made the work harder. And celebrated a case where they HAD done the work and arrested a group for spread out offenses.

Release after a minor arrest should be as expected of course. In most isolated offenses, not even an arrest preferably even - since "arrest" can come with massive baggage in the US. It's refusing to even bother collecting records, documenting, tracking, and in the end arrests which means that the initial offences essentially did not exist. So that the next offenses are still initial offenses - and don't exist.

Maybe, but the problems with your new argument are 1) Finale requires explicit authorization, it’s a manual process the user has to do when first launching so you seem to be speculating or making things up, 2) this moved the goal posts for the thread and you’re undermining @wvenable’s argument and others by suggesting they didn’t understand what they were doing 3) it doesn’t matter what your or I think about consumers, what matters is what the EULA and/or sales contract said.

I‘d argue that we could question how they were able to acquire this amount of money in the first place.

A linguist friend once told me that language patterns in North America run north/south. For whatever reason, culture and migration seem to work the same way.

If you are from BC, you are more likely to travel to or move to California than you are Nova Scotia or Florida.

Likewise, if you are from Montana, you probably feel more comfortable in Alberta or Saskatchewan than you would in New York or Alabama.

While our governments function very differently, NAFTA has removed most of the institutional barriers preventing the natural movement of money, people and culture between the two places.

> I thought the only way to run Linux on macOS was using some sort of Virtualbox-esque solution.

On macOS, Docker uses HyperKit (which is a hypervisor built on top of macOS's Hypervisor.framework) to run a Linux virtual machine behind the scenes, so your containers actually are running in a VM, even if you don't (usually) interact directly with that VM.

Some executive: "That's nice, but what new feature have you shipped for me recently?"
It’s a bit more ridiculous because Ubuntu (and most Linux distros) do not implement their own filesystem semantics from scratch. They’re using the Linux kernel which many distros build off of. So it’s more correct to say “Linux shows its fragility” rather than “Ubuntu”. It’s all just a bit awkward, but I guess I’m being pedantic.

I wish I could address your question, but I don’t think there is “fragility” in how Linux does random writing. It’s extremely durable. MacOS (and therefore Darwin) has some pretty awesome optimizations by owning both the hardware and software, but I don’t know if random writes on Mac “succeed” more often than on Linux. It’s also a bit nonsensical since the hardware really matters when we’re talking about write durability.
