> Majority of people want this.

People want cheap shit, they don't care about how competitive the market is. It's just an unfortunate fact that has been reflected by dozens of American monopolies and decades of fervent offshoring. Tariffs just raise the price of said cheap shit until it costs as much as luxury alternatives, and "fixes" the problem by neglecting any market too poor to cope with more expensive goods.

It's a great trick if your goal is to artificially and temporarily encourage competition between two heavily unequal trade partners. It's a suicide rap for low-class Americans that now have to foot the bill for the rest of the economy by paying more for less food. It will put millions of American citizens on welfare, just to make unprofitable businesses seem competent. The people that want this are business owners and voters that do not understand the futility of a trade war with China.

It's easy for them to have that intention, but then the realities of operating from bankruptcy court or receivership or being assimilated by Microsoft or Sony could be much different.

I choose to only buy stuff for like $8 and under where I can expect to get my money's worth of gameplay in a short time frame and so not have to worry about any long term sunsetting. That's a reasonable middle ground between fully trusting the platform or fully abhorring it.
Aider does all of this too, and it has for quite a while. It just tends to ask you for explicit permission when e.g. adding files to the context (potentially token-expensive), creating new files, or running commands (potentially dangerous); AFAIR there's an option (both configuration and cli arg) to auto-approve those requests, though I never tried it.

Aider has extensive code for computing "repository map", with specialized handling for many programming languages; that map is sent to LLM to give it an overview of the project structure and summary of files it might be interested in. It is indeed a very convenient feature.

I never tried writing and launching unit tests via Aider, but from what I remember from the docs, it should work out of the box too.

The headline is about a study that showed increased activity was correlated with decreases in blood pressure.

So, no, it's not equally accurate to say the opposite is "equally accurate" unless we're playing pedantic games where we ignore the study and pretend it's all just meaningless words.
Or they think they can make more selling some sort of bundle.
some people just have a bad genetic soup and do exercise and diet and such and still have hbp well beyond the numbers designated as meaning "high" ultra high etc I didn't see any hard numbers of reduction in the article either, I've read that smoking raises bp by 5-10points which is largely marginal when you look at how inaccurate most bp readings are. I'm skeptical in this selling environment we live in that this isn't all just to sell drugs to people for their whole lives, these are the same people who want to decimate human populations btw
Great idea to have your bank balance on a ledger that's publicly available. Another home run from the crypto lads.

Not mutually exclusive. The basic necessities such as food, staples etc. could receive a free pass on import, but does the US really need to import a Mercedes S-Klasse or the humongous amount of screens that are in every US household and they are all produced in Asia?

If such regulations come in to effect, I think those business / institutions will adapt (eventually) to cater to communicating via additional channels.
Best server is going to vary on your preferences and workload. Puma is a great multithreaded server, and it can do fork based workers as well. But unicorn is the go to for process/fork based workers.

That's a bit reductive. Without a human mind putting effort to wander the concept space, that concept would never be touched, and it would never be realized. The claim that all logical things that can exist already exist since they're an inescapable eventual logical conclusion seems a bit silly.

All that said, I do mostly agree.

Your link agrees with me; "39% of Indian adults describe themselves as 'vegetarian'".

Is the population growing?

Not the parent, but I would definitely recommend it. A lot of voice quality has to how you pronounce vowels and where you place the resonance in your mouth. Also, avoiding singing through your nose (hold your nose closed and if there's pressure, then don't sing that way). There are vocal exercises for all of those, as well as exercises for breath support, singing in tune, phrasing, etc.

The actual article instead of a summary from twitter.
Getting a little beyond the headline, we find they had people wear blood pressure monitors and accelerometers and concluded:

> More time spent exercising or sleeping, relative to other behaviors, was associated with lower BP. An additional 5 minutes of exercise-like activity was associated with estimated reductions of –0.68 mm Hg (95% CI, –0.15, –1.21) SBP and –0.54 mm Hg (95% CI, –0.19, 0.89) DBP. Clinically meaningful improvements in SBP and DBP were estimated after 20 to 27 minutes and 10 to 15 minutes of reallocation of time in other behaviors into additional exercise. [1]

5-10 points isn't marginal just because there is measurement variance to account for. And just because there's variance doesn't mean you can't fuzz out real numbers. It's like thinking you can stop a timing attack with sleep(random()).

I'd be very skeptical of defending something like high blood pressure. People do the same with high cholesterol. It's a bunch of cope and wishful thinking that they're very different from everyone else who gets heart disease, our #1 killer.
They are DRM free, but you are still only buying a license to the game which can likely be revoked under the terms of that agreement.
At the federal level, yes. but that's not related to my point at all.

If you've never read the federal budget, it's a great exercise in knowing how the govt operates. I encourage it.

If they say spend $100 on toilet paper. It's assumed it comes from the general fund. If they later decide taxing toilet sales for that $100 is a great idea. Awesome. What happens to that $100 budgeted out of the general fund? Sometimes it gets re-allocated, but sometimes not. It almost never means they are suddenly going to start spending $200 on toilet paper though. To do that, they have to specifically write that into the budget.

Hence, just because you taxed toilets $100 doesn't mean $100 MORE dollars will get applied to toilet paper.

Obviously $100 on TP for the federal government is absurdly low, but that's not the point and I'm too lazy to go figure out the actual costs on toilet paper. I'm sure it's a lot though.

Except this flu was first identified in 1996 and there still hasn’t been any large outbreaks in humans, just small pockets of infections among farm workers and their family members. It only took months between the first suspected COVID case and massive lockdowns.
Tabata et al.[1] found in the mid-1990s that just 2-4 minutes of "high-intensity intermittent training may improve both anaerobic and aerobic energy supplying systems significantly." This was popularized as "Tabata training" 20+ years ago. I generally believe that brief bouts of exercise can be very beneficial, especially because they're easier to do consistently over the long-term vs. more time-consuming routines. For a decade now, I've just been running through my neighborhood most days for 20-30 minutes (with some sprints mixed in) and doing one or two maximal sets of pushups or pullups or barbell exercises at home on a weekly basis. I know a lot of people who got really into longer (e.g. 60-90 minute) gym routines but couldn't sustain it for more than a few months, and then stopped doing anything.

To run away with money or just simply to get media exposure....
Can be a cultural idiomatic thing. For me (BrEng) "I'm sorry but..." doesn't explicitly mean "I regret/apologise for what I'm about to say" - in fact it's an intensifier.
> I have to confess I really don't see the appeal of edge workers in general outside of specific applications where latency is of high concern. Such applications do exist, of course, but this kind of offering is treated so generally that I feel like I'm either immune to the marketing or I'm missing something important.

I agree, it mostly seems like a fad/gimmick.
While it's very hip to make fun of crypto bros, this isn't unique to crypto. You can easily approximate the net wealth of any company owner in the EU for example, since business registries are open (who owns how much of what company) as well as yearly financial statements (how much are the company's assets worth in a fiscal year). This isn't unique to the EU, it's simply the market I'm personally more familiar with, but I hope you see my point.

What makes crypto unique in this setting is that it's easy for the kidnappers to receive ransom in a way that's very hard to trace back to them after the fact.
You've argued elsewhere in the thread that "60 to 75% of the population eats meat". Now you're arguing 73% are protein deficient.

These are hard stats to combine into a "it's the not-meat-eating that's the problem"; either one stat is wrong/misleading (I suspect "meat" includes fish, for example), or there are other factors than "not enough chicken".
Here in NYC its they tyranny of pavement and lust of patios. Meanwhile my yard grows wild and is a sanctuary for wildlife. No water pools because it goes right into the ground. Neighbors complain I have a shit hole back yard and my reply is "huh. all I see is nature." Fuck them.
As with many things, the solution is ffmpeg. After I got that upsell thing when I tried to download a video about a week ago, I found the correct ffmpeg incantation, mostly out of spite for Twitter. If you find the m3u8 request in devtools on a tweet, you can use something like the following:

ffmpeg -i 'https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1846357395959615488/pu/pl/ecNx-sTzYA9doHYO.m3u8' -analyzeduration 5G -codec:a libmp3lame -b:a 96k output.mp4

Ha! That's pretty good. Just like Santa was my Christmas list's plan. I always added things I knew were a stretch; always in the thought that Santa might surprise me.
Oh, shit. There goes the planet.
I think you misunderstand. The red zone is on the opposite side of rsp. This line is trying to read an argument that may not exist, relying on the fact that this will put garbage in the register which syscall then ignores. But this only works if the memory is readable.
I see those as slightly related, but not really in agreement. Right side is more "control what the media can say". Left is more "control what effects media has". The second involves more responsibility, but not necessarily less protection. There's nuance in that.

Meta being responsible for lack of moderation is not the same as Meta being responsible for the specific content people post.

He is the incumbent POTUS and Harris's direct superior, that makes it even worse than when Clinton called Americans a basket of deplorables.

There is a very sharp difference between Trump and Obama/Biden/Harris regarding border control, and as far as I'm concerned I want whatever Trump was doing back. We are the only country on the planet where proper border security is argued as a crime against humanity, and I'm sick of that.
An Aeropress and a decent grinder will make a very good coffee with minimal cleanup. Been doing it that way for years.
We do, but the ultra-wealthy owners of Meta et al don't, and they're the ones with large wallets and direct lines to coming administration.

How a party can bill itself as a champion of the working class while also being in the pocket of dozens of billionaires is beyond me.
Unfortunately, there are a distinctly limited number of words that can communicate a particular concept - the pigeon-hole principle suggests duplication will be inevitable.

Ambiguity's only really a problem when the same term is used multiple ways in similar contexts. I think it's very unlikely that anyone will get confused between these two usages.
Somehow I don't think the Trump admin is gonna crack down on his own collusion with Twitter nor the crackdown on free speech on college campuses in response to antiwar protests
I mean, but don't you need warm water and/or electricity? I can't see liking a bidet if it's basically just cold tap water shooting up my bum. Not sure that's going to do it for me.

I've always thought that both hot water and electricity would be a minimal barrier to entry for a bidet. And that neither of these exist in a typical toilet closet. Am I fundamentally wrong about this??
They are the biggest high-end competitor to the iPhone in China. They have been shut out of nvidia chips so they are rapidly figuring out how to make their own.

I’m sure both Apple and nvidia view Huawei as a serious competitor. Like, the kind of company that could, in 5 years, take a third of their market share.

Plastic deli containers for food storage: https://a.co/d/0ne7FfI ($26)

Good for portioning leftovers. No more guessing which tupperware to grab - you either have a big one, a small one, or a combo. Only one type of lid. Stackable, freezable. Mildly disposable - easy to give food to friends or throw out forgotten fridge nasties. Good for holding ingredients during cooking, like a blend of spices or spare water. Not good for reheating, though.
I'm all for giving people their chance with a good faith interpretation of their positions. But I am having trouble squaring his writings about having free and competitive ISP markets, with is his positions about reigning in tech companies.

He also complains that the FCC is a heavy-handed New Deal era agency ... but he also supports the agency nannying television and removing Section 230.

You can't really have it both ways.
I saw a Techdirt comment related to this (specifically on Section 230) which I thought was rather insightful [0].

To summarize with my own Don Quixote analogy: The politicians are tilting at windmills to create the appearance of Doing Something. Their followers perceive them as successful because the illusory opposition (Dragons) seem to be gone, and they're merely confused when you tell them about the "unrelated" vandalism of local windmills.

I was traveling in the EU a year ago and was in need of a toothbrush. The one I picked up at an arbitrary pharmacy in Antony, FR has nothing special about it but has lasted (I mean the bristles are not wearing hard or splaying, getting soft, whatever the usual failure mode for a toothbrush is) in 12 months of use. And I'm usually pretty hard on my brushes.

Why can't we in the US just have nice cheap things. Why is everything an electronic life-hack with a fun take on how to be eco-concious, that involves buying something I don't already own?

For what it's worth, the toothbrush was also not the cheapest I could find (that would have been Lidl or somesuch), and was made in France, so maybe that makes a difference.

Also, dentists recommend X-rays A LOT, too.
I know right - can you believe that the billionaire owner one of the social media companies was actively campaigning for one of the candidates and making sure every user saw every post they made in support of that candidate. Including several outright lies that ended up with community notes, but only hours after posting and being seen by millions of people?
Good point. For more complex scenarios, people would still be able to implement, for example, a Medallion Architecture to progressively improve data quality and structure. Because it is Postgres- and Iceberg-compatible (db and data), it's possible to bring more other advanced data tools when it's needed to perform data transformation and movement. Currently, we see it as a Postgres read replica for analytics. But it's easy to imagine that in the future it could be used as a standalone OSS database on top of a data lakehouse with an open format in S3.

There's a few local bands. Most notably to my mind, we have a periodic jam band that appears with varying configurations at one of the beachside changing rooms around here. There was this time when it was busy at summer tie, we had a decent sized group, and a couple of very well credentialed jazz musicians there. One of the nearby South Pacific Islanders came up to us and asked if he could sing with us. Between him and the band, we did this joyfully insane version of Kenny Rogers The Gambler. People were videoing it, but I've never seen any of the footage.

Both parties are in the pockets of billionaires. The only astounding part is how Trump, whose personal business history includes illegal labor rights violations and has always had a vitriol for unions, is sometimes preferred over Biden, who's been the best president for labor in over 100 years

Just don't eat any unless you're certain it's safe. You won't get poisoned just from touching any mushrooms.

One interesting gotcha that regularly kills people, is that there are some look-a-like species between Eurasia and North America, where one is edible and the other is poison. Apparently is fairly common in Washington state for eastern European immigrants (cultures where mushroom foraging is common) to die this way, because they eat something that looks familiar to them.
