That's funny. I think I can reproduce that.

Do you often use those knuckles to touch that area of your face? Might be that those nerves fire together so often, your brain strongly associates them. I have a habit of massaging that area of my face while thinking and slouching on my chair.

OK, say they do all that, that isn't customisation (I would argue) it is a new service that was built from unconsented data scraped from users of the pre-existing services. Call that splitting hairs if you like, but this looks like a risk to me.
This quote is frequently misinterpreted. It is not a comment on the mutability of language in general, it is a comment on centralized authoritarian power, which the Cardinal sought and wielded. Because he personally wielded so much power, he needed only the flimsiest excuse to condemn someone.

The U.S. legal system does not empower prosecutors in this way. They are free to provide quotes out of context, of course, but defense counsel are just as free to provide the missing context, and neither actually gets to make the decision to convict.

There are plenty of non-scan tasks you can do to get those rewards as well but I do think Poffins (largely useless unless you are grinding Best Buddies) are locked behind scan tasks.

But that’s also the answer on preference. Google is good enough for most people. For everyone else, there can be a paid premium layer. Similar to news, this might be the equilibrium, not an anomaly.

The US civil war is not the only time the US has been politically unstable. The civil rights movement, the labor disputes of the 1970s, the economic shocks every decade or so from market crashes all have been moments of instability.

As for foreign policy consistency, 7 administrations takes us back to Reagan... The entire movement to sell out our industrial capacity to China and now the movement to try to reverse that have occurred in this time frame. This is just as important as our endless wars in the middle east, imo.

Creator of Arroyo here—we agree that stream processing is a different beast and needs different infrastructure from a batch engine like DataFusion.

Our approach has been to take pieces of DF (including the SQL frontend and expression engine) but embedding them in our own dataflow and operators. This allows us to support low latency, distribution, watermark processing, and consistent checkpointing.

But the great thing about DF is that it’s designed as a toolkit for SQL-oriented data processing, so it’s relatively easy to pick and use just the pieces you need.

> So wrong, in fact, that when I recently offered a $1,000 bet on solar’s explosive growth, not a single expert would take me up on it.

Doesn't that mean the forecasters agreed with this gentleman? He bet $1,000 that he is right and nobody wanted to bet against that.

I'll also say that forecasters, by the nature of their role, basically just project status quo forward for whatever their time horizon is. They generally don't have a good vantage point to spot fundamental market shifts. You have to be brave to bet on an exponential trend holding since when they end they end suddenly.

This feels dishonest? The sulfur clouds were keeping temperatures down. Largely in ways that were not really related to green house gasses. Exposing the ocean to more sun increases temperatures of the ocean. Likely influences currents, as well. In ways independent of heat we are trapping in the atmosphere.

Should we have stopped the sulfur? Agreed that that answer is almost certainly still yes. Questions that this leads to are cleaner artificial clouds. Not to control weather, per se. Rather, to reduce ocean heating.
They’re also significant funded by the state particularly as they’re the two federal universities. The figure I heard while there, although I can’t find actual numbers online, was in the low tens of thousands in subsidies that may otherwise mostly be collected through tuition.

Also, it’s not exactly what I would call open enrolment as it’s only open to Swiss students who are accepted into and pass a Matura program or similar in grade school while other students typically require applications or minimum exam scores depending on the program.

Of course we're talking about communications between people, but the record of these communications is used to find fault with the company, usually, not with the individual people. I think that's a really important distinction.

So I agree with the person who said this was a false equivalence.

Corporations exist at the pleasure of the people; we can and should impose any and all requirements and restrictions on them necessary to ensure they do not amass too much power and act to the detriment of regular citizens. We've failed in that, and we see the negative consequences of that daily.

I really want to admire the Zed folks even though they are a new faction in the editor wars where I’m an emacs guy: they take mostly all the things I care about seriously.

The are serious about local vs. remote vs. shared. They are serious about hardware acceleration because they care about users who type fast and edit big files. They care about real computer science on how to push the current hardware to serve the user, rather than treating the hardware as a crutch to give the user a slightly worse experience at a fraction of the development cost. They care about code highlighting the snippets on their blog like very similar to the default Zed theme.

These are cool, serious people. If they give me emacs key bindings with full paredit-everywhere, I might switch my daily driver.

And this is about using modern SIMD-style stuff, branch less stuff, Lemire stuff in a modern and relevant context.

>A Psychological Tip

Whenever you're called on to make up your mind, and you're hampered by not having any, the best way to solve the dilemma, you'll find, is simply by spinning a penny.

Sure, their choice to give it away may not have gone as they hoped, I’m just pushing back against the idea that making copies of a thing the creator explicitly gave permission to copy is “stealing”.

So why, after 20-years, and millions of people haven't fen-phen-like side effects appeared?
The number 1 request I get from people is to add the ability to optionally bundle chromium.

I personally prefer the system webview because you don’t have to rush update your app for every chromium security update. And on the web making things cross browser is a normal part of the job and instinct imo.

But there are a ton of early startups that only have bandwidth to support chrome/chromium in their complex webapps and want a quick way to port their web app to desktop app. For them taking on the security burden and increasing bundle size is a good tradeoff to getting that consistency.

Luckily electrobun has a custom zig bsdiff implementation that generates update diffs as small as 4KB and self extracting executable that uses zstd so at least the file size is less relevant of a concern compared to electron.

> Innocent things said at work can be used against someone

No, they can be used against the corporation. And that's totally fine and proper.

> There are very many non-nefarious, completely legal reasons one might not want a work communication to be visible down the line, just as with personal. If someone can’t see that their thinking is cloudy and I bet they experience cognitive dissonance.

No cognitive dissonance here. I just don't consider private/personal speech to be the same thing as work-related speech. I think the former should be protected from prying eyes (including the government) with as much zeal as we can muster. But the latter? No, there is no reason or need to hold that stuff sacred, and many reasons related to accountability to ensure it's recorded and available for legal challenges.

> That wasn’t OP’s assertion though, OP’s assertion was that closing down airspace does not lead to zero excess deaths. My argument is that the statistics do not support that conclusion, and that the additional deaths in 2002 cannot rigorously be shown even to be unusually high, let alone caused by 9/11.

What we can show rigorously and directly is a tiny subset of what we know. If your standard for saying that event x caused deaths is that we have a statistically significant direct correlation between event x and excess deaths that year, you're going to find most things "don't cause deaths". Practically every dangerous food contaminant is dangerous on the basis of it causes an increase in x condition and x condition is known to be deadly, not because we can show directly that people died from eating x. Hell, even something like mass shootings probably aren't enough deaths to show up directly in death numbers for the year.

I think it's reasonable to say that something we reasonably believe causes deaths that would not have occurred otherwise causes excess deaths. If you actually think the causal chain breaks down - that 9/11 didn't actually lead to fewer people flying, or that actually didn't lead to more people driving, or that extra driving didn't actually lead to more deaths - then that's worth discussing. But I don't see any value in applying an unreasonably high standard of statistical proof when our best available model of the world suggests there was an increase in deaths and it would actually be far more surprising (and warrant more study) if there wasn't such an increase.
That may be your experience, it wasn't mine. I eat very healthy on Ozempic but yeah of the 60 lbs lost so far some of it is noticeably muscle because I don't exercise enough. The next 60 lbs of fat lost will hopefully be me swapping fat for muscle from weight lifting and swimming.

Yes, corporations are groups of people, but they are also legal entities that have been given certain rights, responsibilities, and restrictions.

On top of that, we usually consider the corporate entity legally liable for thinga the people do in the name of the corporation. That doesn't come from "just a group of people". That comes from a specific legal structure we've decided on as a society.
