If you get in touch with me (email or Blue Sky DM) I would be happy to think about how to share what I have so far, although it's not much at all.
True, but the spirit of the law died a long time ago, and the vision originally created by the founders has been distorted and "mythified" in favor of the desires and vices of monied interests.
It's a good question - From what we've seen most suburban people that raise chickens don't do it to lower costs of eggs - they do it to have better control over the quality of food they eat, to teach their kids that you take care of the chickens, they take care of us. To eliminate food waste (avg family throws out 200+ lbs a year of food that can go to chickens, and because funnily enough most backyard farmers treat the chickens as family and pets vs just little egg-factories.

Avg hen lays about 250-270 eggs a year depending on breed. So 6 chickens (our coop is designed for 6) throws off about 1500 eggs a year. Avg American eats around 291 eggs + egg products per year (which is crazy!).

Most people build their coops or buy one from Tractor Supply or Amazon for $300 and day-old chicks are around $4 each and feed is inexpensive (50lb bag at Tractor Supply is $21). You can make the economics work super well if you want to but as most backyard chickens are treated as pets (I am leaving out large farms and homesteads, etc) a lot of people pamper and spend $ on their hens because it's more than just getting a lower cost egg if that makes sense.
It’s very unlikely and I agree, not acceptable, but any household appliance with a heating element has a nonzero fire risk. I read that for UL certified humidifiers the incidence rate is 1 in 100k, similar to fans. The seems worryingly high.
There are significant numbers of MG cars (SAIC Motor) on the roads in the UK. I see more of them than Polestars (Geely/Volvo).
Do you think there was any way at all to prevent what came after?
The app is actually really good too.

You guys did this the last 4 years he was in office and nothing happened. I'm going to sign myself in for another 4 years of screaming while nothing happens.

By the way, posting about how much you hate the government on bluesky is not revolutionary activity, and talking about expecting "brutality" in retaliation shows just how out of touch you are with reality.
"Elon Musk straight-arm gesture controversy" is... a lemma to describe that occurrence, for sure.
There was a time fairly early in Netflix's streaming era when all the studios were just dumping their old back catalogs on Netflix to get some revenue from 'dead content' that I thought "Wow, someday soon pretty much all the old content will just be available on a central streaming service. The future will be good."

Then the stock market started inflating the value of streamers because of ARR projections and studios adopted a gold rush mentality, pulled back all their content and each tried to launch their own service. Of course, this quickly fragmented the streaming market as few consumers would subscribe to more than one or two services at a time. As stock valuations dropped back to reality, the server plus bandwidth costs started piling up and the also-ran streaming services became break-even boat anchors for most studios.

Now we're left with the cultural 'worst of all worlds'. A dozen inaccessible walled gardens each neglected by their owners and no easy, central way to find and watch an old, low-value film.

My new line when people rebut this is just to ask: did the guide we're talking about lay this out, so that people could make up their own mind about whether their organization was likely to be targeted by federal law enforcement agencies, which license zero-day vulnerabilities and delivery platforms from 4-5 different providers, or instead by commercial telemetry?

Of course, none of them do, because the premise of that question is alien to them. It requires understanding that Firefox and Chrome have different runtime security postures, and to talk about that you have to be willing to push through a fogbank of people ideologically opposed to the idea that Chrome could be, at a technical level, better.
<< Don't insult my intelligence like that. I would never quote nominal income to you. My post was inflation adjusted.

Apologies. Let me look at the link provided.

I am going through the paper now and the things that did jump at me that while you state that your post was inflation adjusted and I will admit that I am not sure it says what you claim to think it says. Lets go over relevant passages.

From quoted paper[1]:

"Wage compression was accompanied by rapid nominal wage growth and rising job-to-job separations—especially among young non-college (high school or less) workers.
Comparing across states, post-pandemic labor market tightness became strongly predictive of real wage growth among low-wage workers (wage-Phillips curve), and aggregate wage compression."

In other words, higher absolute values were considered to be good predictors for wage-phillips curve ( which shows a relationship between the unemployment rate and wage growth ). I worry that you saw word real wage and made an assumption that it measures real wage. It doesn't. We can argue whether it is a good proxy, but from get go it is tougher sell. In other words, if methodology for attempting to derive real wage is off, the whole premise falls apart from where I sit.

"Moreover, despite substantial post-pandemic inflation–measured with the benchmark Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U)–real hourly earnings
at the 10th percentile of the wage distribution rose by 7.8% between January 2020 and June 2023."

Ok. This is where it does get messy, because I genuinely do not want to get into the weeds here, but lets... for the sake of the argument assume all that including methodology is fine.

"Real US hourly wages rose by approximately 10 percentage points at all percentiles during the first quarter of the Covid-19 pandemic, from March through June of 2020. (As we show below, much of this spike reflected a change in composition of the workforce as low-wage workers disproportionately lost their jobs.) Thereafter, these quantiles diverged. The 10th wage percentile held its real value over the next three years, while the 50th and 90th real wage percentiles fell by around 6 and 8 percentage points, respectively. In net, the 90/10 ratio declined by about 8 percentage points over these three years "

In other words, for the period of time listed, assuming we accept the premise, methodology and so on, wages rose above inflation. And then, those same real wages fell on average of 8% between July 2000 and 2024. I don't know man, it sounds me, again if we accept premise, methodology and so, as if things got briefly better and got worse again. So my example of 100k became 92K..

FWIW, I am really curious of how you will defend it.

Legally, a government agency like the FBI is immune to criminal prosecution. Its officials can commit crimes as individuals, but it can’t commit a crime as a government agency because government agencies are excluded by legal definition.

But, it still can be judged guilty or innocent in the court of public opinion and the accounts of future historians
Pedantic but a comment clarifying the unit of measurement belongs with the declaration of the variable, not an increment statement.
For the type of rich people like actors, sports stars, etc, yes.

You may have an actor of a certain budget who has no roles lined up currently, but is a pretty safe bet he will get some lined up eventually, and so he's a decent risk for a loan.

This is private lending and is a completely different world than a home loan that is resold. Depending on the dollar amount, the lender will have their own appraisers, etc taking careful look at the collateral (which might be the castle you're buying, or that and more, or something else entirely, like royalties due, etc).

They will then structure it so that it's a heads they win, tails they don't lose - only lending as much as they're sure they'll be able to get back out (up to and including having alternate buyers lined up to purchase the property if it gets foreclosed, etc).
This isn't an auditing. This is a gutting based on senseless and illegal procedures. You want to get rid of DEI, fine. That doesn't mean get rid of the whole agency. This is incredibly alarming.
> Wrapping it in a safe call as in this article would have been unthinkable - the unsafe needs to live exactly where you are making the assumption, there’s no safety provided by the wrapper.

I want to be sure I understand your meaning. In your analysis, if the check_invariant function was marked unsafe, would the code be acceptable in your eyes?
The story is really worth a read. The writing speaks for itself:

> The biographical questionnaire Snow referred to as the “first phase” was an unsupervised questionnaire candidates were expected to take at home. You can take a replica copy here. Questions were chosen and weighted bizarrely, with candidates able to answer “A” to all but one question to get through. Some of the most heavily weighted questions were “The high school subject in which I received my lowest grades was:” (correct answer: science, worth 15 points) and “The college subject in which I received my lowest grades was:” (correct answer: history, for another 15 points).
I know it was kind of a norm in game dev. I was never brave (or talented) enough to compete in a game jam, let alone finish anything like that though :D
This is not a serious answer. IMO the fairest but not necessarily most accurate characterization for Ibram X. Kendi would be charlatan (others could say he's deliberately inducing racial hatred and stoking division). Additionally, according to recent news Boston University fired him and closed down his "antiracist research" center.

My favorite program as a teen came about because I had gotten a Sound Blaster (in my 8088 IBM PC), and you could order C/MS chips (they were actually a pair of Philips SAA1099 chips, originally used in the Create Music System aka Game Blaster).[0] Since it came with documentation on how to directly program the hardware registers, and I enjoyed coding music output (I still do enjoy that kind of thing), I ended up writing a program in C that could drive all 12 voices on the chips using the same notation as used by Advanced BASIC "PLAY" statements[1], but added a "V" command to let you select a voice. (BASIC "PLAY" command only supported 1 voice. Maybe 3 on the PCjr.?) It would keep track of how much time passed in each voice while compiling the information so that you could line everything up, and then would use that information to play everything at the right time when the music played back. I remember I had a big case or if/else section depending on the next character, so I must have worked out some sort of state machine without knowing what that was at the time. I took the conductor's score for music we were playing in band class and entered that into a file for the program to play the multi-voice version on my computer. :)

There is still a lot of quite useful hardware that isn't supported. For example, the first gen Ryzen is apparently not supported, so then you're having to replace e.g. a Threadripper 1950X which has 16 cores and a 4GHz turbo. A new PC with even equivalent performance would be $600+ and a $500 new PC would be a downgrade.

There is also plenty of hardware that isn't fast but is being used in a situation where that doesn't matter. Some Haswell quad core being used for web and email could continue to be used for that indefinitely. That is old enough that it could be replaced with something newer for less than $500, but the entirety of the replacement cost is still lost money because it otherwise wouldn't have had to be replaced at all.
Quite sophisticated. I'm not sure whether someone less technical would know what to do.
Gemini Applets
C++'s enduring popularity is mostly inertia from the time it was if not the only game in town, the biggest, baddest game in town, and from being the souped-up (if overly complex) successor to the previous biggest, baddest game in town.

Thousands of companies collectively have billions of lines of code in C++. Millions of programmers know it well enough to get the job done. Entire ecosystems with absolutely huge areas are well defined by C++ (and previously C).

Rewriting all this code would be a gargantuan task. It all mostly works (yes, it has bugs, lots of them, but it is still mostly doing the job). The "R" in "ROI" for rewriting it is extremely low and hard to predict, and the "I" is very high.

And that is why old programming languages live on. Not because people take pride in being geniuses or the ability to code in it, but because inertia is really hard to change.

Disagree, this is like arguing that "dollars ∝ apples" simply because you were able to buy apples today at a given price. It does not mean the relationship can--or should--be constant across all teams and all time forever.

IANACertifiedScrumLord, but reasons for "points" are:

1. Humans give less-reliable data when you ask them for hours, both because we're not wired to have that kind of time-sense (future or past) and also because it adds a kind of implicit peer pressure.

2. Humans are better at estimating "is it similar to that other thing I worked on recently", and points are the way to formalize those carry-over comparisons.

3. How human-teams think of (and deliver) work is variable both over time and variable across teams, which means their points are variable in the same ways.

4. Goodhart's law. You want to keep some separation between the measure and the target, that separation is between points and hours, and it's the job of whomever is running the sprints to be that kind of privacy-screen.

So the ideal outcome is that you allow the drift, and account for it by using a recent running-average for that team's delivered points (modified by vacation time etc) to generate your private time-estimates.
I absolutely agree.

It’s also a silly to believe that because it’s old it’s culturally significant. There’s plenty of ancient dross in the back catalogues.

IMO, price comparisons are a very misleading signal if you want to understand what's really happening in the world. They tell you that something is now more expensive, but not whether that's due to external events, evil corporations, evil corporations blaming external events, or some mix of the three.

What you really want to look at is costs, income and profit margins in the supply chain, which prices are a direct result of.
The goal is burn down the federal government, it doesn't really matter to them what happens. Expensive lawsuits and settlements, sign me up! It isn't their money.

Copilot+ thing is due to Metric stuffing. AI is big and Microsoft wanted to juice the numbers so stuffing copilot down everyone throat.

And this is irrelevant to (very conservatively) 99% of scientists in the NSF and NIH.
A human is in the loop for all parts. Every essential step is done by humans (flap/gear control, throttle up for takeoff). The airplane doesn't make decisions, rather it does what the humans tell it to. Autopilot is not automation.
> Simplest way is to read media from independent country. India is good, perhaps Arabic countries.

It's interesting that you listed India first. The English-language news source that pops up most often via Google News is the Hindustan Times, which is hot garbage. Are there any Indian sources that are much, much better than that which you recommend?
It may as well be left unmaintained, seems like quality isn't something that matters anymore.
I'd be curious about South America as well as North America.

I found Pekka Hämäläinen's Indigenous Continent to be a worthwhile history of North America, although mostly it was focused on events during European exploration of North America with a relatively short initial section about the state of civilization prior to the Spanish arrival.
I hope they don't settle early and we finally get an answer to whether training AI on copyrighted content is fair use or not.
Yeah, news ticker sounds like the perfect solution. If something relevant comes up you can still look up some full articles
Just another reminder that Dischler is a jerk.
Most things are on Amazon if you’re willing to pay for them individually. It’s more buffet style streaming services that splintered.

Per movie may seem expensive, but at the low end of hours per month watch time streaming services are a bad deal.
There are too many distros. Even the Gnome/KDE split has been unproductive. Desktop linux would have done better with more resources polishing a single product rather than making 20 half-baked products.

It's 27% for BYD and it was introduced end of October 2024, I guess it had no big effect on sales.
Servo was of course based on the servo project in Mozilla. But that was discontinued years ago before that project was completed. I'm sure Mozilla still uses some of those components. But is servo actively contributing back to Mozilla at this point or is it more of a fork?

Honestly, I don't fully understand the reason for this shortage.

Isn't it because we insist on only using the latest nodes from a single company for manufacture?

I don't understand why we can't use older process nodes to boost overall GPU making capacity.

Can't we have tiers of GPU availability?

Why is Nvidia not diversifying aggressively to Samsung and Intel no matter the process node.

Can someone explain?

I've heard packaging is also a concern, but can't you get Intel to figure that out with a large enough commitment?

I spent a lot of time learning how to use the debugger in storm. I still found the "feedback loop" to be slower than just dumping and eventually stopped using the debugger. dd() is just so fast, and that is all I care about, fixing the bug as fast as possible.

Buried in that story is one more important point: if you vaccinate many countries will not let you sell that chicken to them anymore. US exports a lot of chicken to such countries and if we vaccinate that market dies. (or we can vaccinate some but not others and then deal with the supply chain complexity)
Even then, the overwhelming majority of sales are either Tesla, VW Group (Audi, Skoda, VW), BMW, or Hyundai [0].

Bikes are still "vehicles". Problem is that stuff like Tesla are luxuries, we simply can not afford that! Bikes are an alternative on the same market.

An alternative that is heavily advertised by our governments! If there is a significant difference between car and bike, you should tell our government!

Not everyone has resources to treat their car as an IPhone!

My company's DEI program effectively does this. The main tenets are:

- Cast a wide recruiting net to attract a diverse candidate pool

- Don't collect demographic data on applications

- Separate the recruiting / interview process from the hiring committee

- The hiring committee only sees qualifications and interview results; all identifying info is stripped

- Our guardrail is the assumption that our hiring process is blind, and our workforce demographics should closely mirror general population demographics as a result

- If our demographics start to diverge, we re-eval our process to look for bias or see if we can do better at recruiting

The separation allows candidates to request special accommodations from the interview team if needed, without that being a factor to the committee making the final decision.

Overall, our workforce is much more skilled and diverse than anywhere else I've worked.
Well the Seal is the third most sold electric car model in Austria. Does not surprise me I see it.
Those numbers come from NSF, so I assume the definition of "basic research" would align with NSF.

The rise in basic research in industry coincides with the rise of technology as a major component of the US economy decades ago. I suspect these are not unrelated. The growth of deep tech investment by the private sector probably has a lot to do with it.
The issue wasn't inconsistency it was "had no home integration at all" at launch. They rushed to roll out the 'new' assistant and didn't bother waiting for the basic feature set first.

Today; it works ~perfectly for TV control/Alarm setting - I can't think of it not working first try in the last month or so for me. Maybe more consistent than prior?

The rollout was simply borked from the PM/Decision making side.
Your original comment sounded like (how I read it, at least) you think Chrome should be the default recommend in this (and similar) guides. Full stop, end of story.

This comment sounds like you think guides should be more nuanced regarding the specific threat model that is trying to be mitigated.

I agree with the second one.
