Do you mean oils that have turned rancid before they are consumed? I don’t really get the hate seed oils are getting. In studies they seem to have shown no ill effects. They do certainly use oils in studies that are not rancid, while your average supermarket oil might be (?).
I've used ansys daily for over a decade, and the only movement is in how they name their license tiers. It's a slow muddy death march. Every year I'm fighting the software more and more, the sales men are clearly at the wheel.

They buy "vertical aligned" software, integrate it, then slowly let it die. They just announced they're killing off one of these next year, that they bought ten years ago, because they want to push a competitive product with 20% of the features.

I've been using nastran for half as long but it isn't much better. It's all sales.

Really interesting to see this built on Google Apps Script such an underrated gem for quick, reliable automations! Cal.com is already out there and doing great, but it’s still cool to see this lightweight approach. Sometimes simpler is just better, especially for folks who don’t need a full setup and just want a scheduling tool that ties right into Gmail.

It may be early, but great job putting it out there! Appreciate seeing alternatives that keep things lean and accessible-nice work!
It's not for everything. But the serious verification techniques should be mandatory in critical infrastructure. Routers, BGP nodes, and firewalls would be a good place to start. Embedded systems that control important things - train control, power distribution, pipelines, water and sewer. Get those nailed down hard.

Do all these asteroid mine value estimates account for the value destruction effects of bringing a huge volume of something formerly scarce back to earth?

If the math is a simplistic market cap style multiplication of the current unit price times the theoretical volume found in the target asteroid, it's completely bogus.
In the context of history I’d say it was sacred to the Greeks. There’s not really anything wrong with the wording; they aren’t saying it’s a religious artifact to modern society or holds any magic.
You can't define what "misinformation" is, unless you can establish a final, irrevocable truth about that same subject. This is possible only in a very limited number of cases, and it is essentially anti-scientific and/ or anti-humanistic in all others.

Therefore, all these "anti-misinformation" studies and endeavours are essentially propaganda efforts, meant to establish and maintain the domination of some ideas over others. Which is not to say that the intentions are nefarious, or that the ideas they are trying to impose are wrong- just that it is most probable that some of the stuff labeled as misinformation is actually true and vice versa, some of the "correct information" is actually misinformation. And a free, un-manipulated public opinion is necessary to find which is which.
Yeah the Pi is way too expensive. NUCs are a better deal (and roughly the same price), and x86 is obviously going to smoke ARM in certain workloads (e.g. running a VPN server that has to encrypt/decrypt all traffic).

The concept of the Raspberry Pi is great, but the price point was never where it needed to be. Even when you could get one for around MSRP, doing anything with it was so much added cost. Yeah $35 for a little computer is great, but you needed a power supply, case, microSD card, and whatever hats (the hats have always been overpriced IMO).
the robot can work 24/7 7 days a week, and if you consider paying the human employee at the end of the month and not just providing a sandwich per shift then the energy costs are not that high.
I don't accept that the government can be trusted to keep me safe, but you do. That is the fundamental difference. Guns used to be everywhere in the US, including in schools, and nobody was overly concerned about crazies with guns attacking schools. The reason is, anyone going crazy with a gun would be shot dead by any self-respecting person rather quickly. Our kids are more likely to die from any number of freak accidents than school shootings. If schools kept a few armed guards or even armed teachers and had secure fences and doors, the chances of someone doing a mass shooting there would be near zero. We have gun free zones that render everyone but criminals completely defenseless. It's a shame that people do not understand or appreciate the many benefits of being armed.

The classic gun-free society is the UK where even decorative knives or anything resembling an effective weapon will land you in prison. The place that sends people to jail for such things as witnessing a protest, or posting mean tweets online. Once you give up your guns, you have given up any hope of actually curtailing government power. The people who want to take our guns all have guns and professional armed security.

Another point to consider is, guns are only one possible weapon. In gun-free societies like China, they face mass stabbings instead. Then there's always someone willing to run people over with a car. Too bad the victims of those crimes did not have guns. They might have had a chance.

So in summary, I don't want gun-free culture. I want everyone but known violent criminals and mentally deficient individuals to be armed. The gun is the great equalizer, and it insures your freedom against all kinds of brutes. Without a gun, the average person doesn't have a chance against a typical criminal.
(most?) programming languages have a way to handle these scenarios, something like `#warning | TODO | FIXME` ...

I understand temporary, but 14 years seems a bit ...too long
I can't detect the actual suggestion here. There is already a minimal level of care given to everyone for free (practically, if not nominally) with the caveats given in the extended passage from one of the papers: that it may not be at a distance convenient to people (which for people in poverty often means it is actually not available); that only rarely covers vision, dental, etc; that has extended wait times as compared to private insurance; and that provides emergency services (like appendectomies.)

That is literally the status quo, especially considering the many limitations being placed on debt collectors and credit reporting agencies in relation to medical debt.

And if 2/3 of people will still have private insurance, the obvious pressure will be for services covered (which in this plan are TBD) to go to zero, and wait times to go to infinity. And even the 2/3 is simply a demand of the authors, because there's no way mentioned in this summary to enforce that arbitrary number. I suspect that it is a pure fantasy, based on the imagined attractiveness of this vague imagined healthcare coverage.

Amusingly, from my perspective some targeting of this 2/3 number would be an interesting plan (aside from the absolute arbitrariness of the choice.) If private insurance coverage creeping above 2/3 triggered an expansion of services, with a penalty that not keeping the number below that target would force a cash award to uninsured people of an estimated value of the level of service that would have attracted at least a third of people to drop private insurance, now that would be interesting. A mechanism like that could be the pressure towards the baseline level of service that is assumed to just happen here.

Still, why 2/3? Why would we reserve any room for private insurance covering basic care? Private insurance for luxury accommodations while having basic care, fine, but that's not healthcare insurance, that's hotel insurance. Private insurance for fancy cosmetic dental care, fine, there's a difference between healthy and beautiful, and teeth break all the time. But insurance for plastic surgery? Who would buy that? Just buy the plastic surgery. If you're disfigured, that should certainly be covered by the basic plan, no?

No surprise that the authors worked on ACA, which was just a Heritage Foundation plan, not some original creation. A completely amorphous "public option" doesn't improve it, and the same cowards and straw activists that backed away from it when ACA was passed would back away from it again. 75% of the people in the institutions on both sides of the issue of a "public option" would be literally the same, and without the unlimited mandate that Obama successfully steered into the toilet. The Medicaid expansion jammed into ACA provides most of this hypothetical basic health coverage, and if you want more, just continue to expand Medicaid.

Can a prescription to fix the US healthcare system have no coverage details and no plan to lower healthcare costs?

To take your Hammer example it really depends on what you're doing. If the only thing you're doing is pounding framing nails then one framing hammer is generally suitable. If you need to pound framing nails and you need to do metal work and you need to do fine finish work you will need a number of different hammers to accomplish those jobs and have a good outcome in each task.

Your argument is that Excel is fine at being the one hammer that can do absolutely everything as good as purpose-built software is. That is factually wrong. I know it tries to be and it's okay at being average at many of these tasks and if average is good enough for you then go ahead and do it.

I for one choose to frame my house by using either a framing hammer or a power nailer that's made to drive framing nails. When I do my finish work I don't want mark up on my trim with big old Hammer marks from a framing hammer, so I choose to use a hammer that's made for finish nails or a brad nail gun or another tool that's made to do it so it looks professional.

You are welcome to live in a house that is built like trash and is marred up with "apprentice marks" as they're called. I will choose to be the master Craftsman.
How much time the robot can work without recharging / maintenance? What's the throughput for the tasks? In the demo it only carried one object and it took it several seconds to move it. A person could do that faster, better, etc. It's real nice, but if you can convince a factory owner to replace people with this you are the best salesman in the world.

Are they getting enough sleep? If they need an alarm clock, they aren’t. I was surprised that less than 20% of 12th graders in our large metro county report getting 8 hours on school nights. The AAP recommendation is 8-10 hours a night for ages 13-18, that’s just flights less than the 9-12 hours for ages 6 to 12. Deep sleep can be enough to survive but it’s not enough to thrive (for most people).
I don't think people are remotely aware how Good MS tools are atm when it comes to collaboration and integration with their "other" suit of tools. Yes, it's ugly sharepoint under the hood somewhere, but for all intents and purposes it looks and works like magic when I'm collaborating in real-time with my coworkers over any sort of MS document. This whole "real time collaboration" comment as a reason to prefer some half-baked and confusing "GSheets" web app is frankly confusing.

Though, now that I think about it, it kind of makes sense: We are in an industry where the newcomers are being indoctrinated via evangelists and overall Schadenfreude, into using half-baked "IDEs" like VSCode.

Run my compilation on a CPU, note down the time it took and the Geekbench score for that CPU.

Run the compilation on another CPU, note down the time it took and the Geekbench score for that CPU.

Now look at the ratios — if Geekbench scores implied the faster CPU was, say, 20% faster, is my compilation 20% faster?

I'm looking at my notes and without digging too much, I can see two reasonably recent cases: 30% faster compilation (Geekbench said 30%), and another one: 40% faster compilation (Geekbench said 38%).

So yes, I do consider Geekbench to be a very reliable indicator of performance.

Given its support for the Khmer Rouge, its invasion of Vietnam, its tacit support of the aggression against Ukraine, and its menacing actions against the Philippines, and its intimidation of expats abroad (nevermind what it threatens to do to Taiwan) -- I wouldn't put China in the "WAY WAY WAY more peaceful" category.

It also isn't being "choked out" by anyone and never will be.

On almost 1000 military bases abroad

I know that must feel emotionally invigorating to believe, but it turns out it's just a number that gets copy-pasta'd around in order to get you riled up. If you do you homework on the number, you will quickly find (1) the larger number is for all worldwide facilities, the vast majority being in the US of course; and (2) the actual number of foreign "bases" is much smaller (e.g. 128 according to the Congressional Research Service), and many of these are still largely foreign-run and/or barely count as "bases" in any meaningful sense (the U.S. and/or NATO just has an office or a token presence there, etc).

So reality is infinitely more boring and that's a huge bummer of course, but that's how life is unfortunately.
> Just because everyone uses it for that purpose doesn't automatically make it the best tool or the right tool for the job.

On the contrary, in many domains in life the right tool for the job is almost always going to be the one that everyone is already using. It's usually not the most satisfying tool or the most elegant, and its use will usually make perfectionists scream, but if you're actually interested in getting anything done you'll default to using the tool that the human beings in the system are already comfortable with unless it would be completely impossible to do so.

As another example: the NEMA connector is objectively bad compared to modern alternatives, but it's not going anywhere. The benefits of standardization usually outweigh the benefits of optimization, and you usually don't benefit from being the first to move to the "better" solution.

(I realize that last part is difficult to swallow for a forum that's focused on startups trying to disrupt the existing, standardized tech.)

She, and apparently others she gathered feedback from, felt like I hadn’t done a good enough job pulling other engineers into the project. She spoke of how proud she was of the outcome but that it didn’t excuse my less than ideal methods.

Well, anything could be fake these days even the Boston Dynamic's video could be fake in this day and age but...

> There’s some dispute over how and why Sholes and Glidden arrived at the QWERTY layout. Some historians have argued that it solved a jamming problem by spacing out the most common letters in English; others, particularly more recent historians, hold that it was designed specifically to help telegraphists avoid common errors when transcribing Morse code.
