Thanks!

I mean I hate to sound judgmental, but "that fewer than one in five infants are breastfed for 12 months in high-income countries; "

I've tried to encourage people to breastfeed, it isn't well received though.

"Acknowledging that achievement of the WHO global target to increase to at least 50% the proportion of infants under 6 months of age who are exclusively breastfed by 2025 requires sustainable and adequate technical and financial resources, and supportive and protective policy and regulatory interventions as well as political will, and that this needs to be part of broader efforts to strengthen health systems;"

Yah, definitely an attack on the "formula" industry, along with the conflict of interest verbiage, but the mothers I've talked to don't care or can't breastfeed anyway, get mad at them? We are gonna start telling women what to do with their bodies now?!?

I mean I get it, the benefits are very real to the kid, just wondering what politician has the cajones to tell women to start breastfeeding more.

The odd thing is, even after 10 minutes I can't find the WHO resolution in question, only lots of opinion articles. I mean I don't care if you want to breastfeed, anywhere anytime, just wanting the whole story here. Were they banning alternatives or something?

yes, downvote, that will encourage honest feedback and change my view...

FWIW, I stopped reading the onion when it was bought by univision, for presumably political reasons. I mean even now the dedication and passion you describe sounds a bit like campaign headquarters to me, not a satire shop.

https://all-in-project.com/community/ holy crap, doesn't know anything about computers, surrounded in a sea of "soft skills" (aka manipulators), like one tech guy out of 30 people. Expects "quality" spots in random locations, completely subjective, calls the one guy a piece of shit for having the skills to try and wrangle this mess into a product.

I mean I get it, I'm a grumpy learner too, and maybe he bought into the "programming is easy, everyone should learn it" tripe, only to see his expectations smashed by the reality of millions of computers and technology stacks and users, but get some more perspective here Danial.

It appears to be incomplete analysis, often something like mobility is far more important than the other attributes, and it is only realized from in-game analysis. You need to JIT the data I recon, for each map/course. Plus some attributes have skill ceilings and floors, so to speak, so a given attribute/ability might not benefit a less skilled player as much as a skilled player.

There are a lot of situational considerations to "best".

I doubt it is that "critical", they likely have other cross-checks and enough production data to make that call.

Granted time crunch, but they aren't the old school with the old baggage either.

Pending disaster? Doubt it. We will see I guess.

I've been there, splurged on an alienware 17 a while ago, but mostly I only use it on the road now.

I went with desktop because I wanted everyone in the house to have a decent machine and I could get several I5s for less than $70 apiece (5 machines, one in each bedroom) and wanted easy/cheap upgrades for some of them, and they are all the same optiplex model, which makes my life easier.

I like my desktop setup a lot though, 3.3ghz I-5, 27" 1080, 16 gig ram, 1tb ssd, 8tb in "cold storage", g402 mouse, gt710 vid, clicky keyboard, Nubwo N2 headset, decent posture, 100+ fps gaming. Probably threw $500 at it above the initial $70 though, but most of the machines didn't get that treatment, but their users aren't using it to make a living either.

Everyone has different needs of course,

My home setup:

hardwired all the desktops and a few access points via cheap 1gbit hardware (literally found some at the thrift store/ebay), usually using tomato/shibby.

have a backup router.

battery backup on main routers/modem.

large external battery wire nutted to my desktop UPS.

NAS is an old laptop with battery intact, doubles as second display/machine.

use my phone via usb on my desktop if all else fails.

total cost, probably less than $100.

Oh, and I use a $5/month server for stuff that absolutely needs to be on full time. Otherwise the only external access is me occasionally remoting into my desktop and I am happy to stop and smell the flowers if that is interrupted briefly.

he has been in VP roles for decades, wouldn't call him an "engineer".

"when a rouge developer removed a popular module from npm"

The rouge part IMHO was having live dependencies, unless this was sarcasm. Also, I am not seeing any hotpocket urls.

Wondering what the deal is with this article. Auditing good, but why does it look like false positives?

Edit, I see, an old "joke". terrific.

done any assembly yet?

The way I see it, the higher up maslow's pyramid, the more BS it is, roughly speaking. This in terms of the function of the job, aside from your own survival and having a job.

factoring in Tsiolkovsky's equations, it seems more like 30mwh, and that is just one person, and just the fuel, not the processing or the preparation or even building a rocket, without any life support, or landing plan.

plus where are you going to send %10 of the population where they will be immune to human nature, whatever that is.

there are more tyrannical equations if you are promoting space colonization. I mean if you compare earth to a petri dish, what do you think a small domed shelter on some other planet will be?!?

I like space, lots of neat things to learn, but the discussion always seems to get a little religious and doomsday-ish, and I find it less than genuine. Like have people thought about where the energy to get massive numbers of people off the planet will come from, and how that will leave the planet in even worse shape for those that can't leave?

It is folly to think technology can fix everything, and I sometimes wonder if it has actually "fixed" anything, aside from helping to enable overpopulation.

I've found node integrates reasonably well with linux, I would do more infrastructure using that, though the style doesn't need to be hyper-asynchronous usually.

but real-time promiscuity where you spread your users info everywhere and have no backup plan is much more FUN. (/s)

>It is one thing to get grilled by senators, but entirely another for your average user to start believing you’re part of a war-machine

Tides can and do change though. And anyone working on anything that can be weaponized (see also self driving cars) and has heard of Alfred Nobel is just fooling themselves if they think they can control their creations.

I don't see the AI part, just next-level automation/integration and some invalid input.

When AI has the authority to make screw ups of this nature, it is gonna be spectacular.

OB AI: I'm sorry Ibrahim, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Plot twist, title gore written by AI.

FWIW, as an avid hypermiler (who also owns an EV and pays for wind power), and works from home, the mpg per person of public transport isn't that great, I have no problem exceeding it, even without passengers (though I usually have passengers when I go somewhere).

Certainly there are plenty of motorcycles that beat it without much effort/technique as well.

So, what am I supposed to be taxed for again? The environment inside a moving box full of strangers, and the scheduling headaches, doesn't excite me much as an alternative.

I wonder how much of the "decline" is because of people who work from home. I don't think uber is entirely the cause, more like uber displaced taxi drivers.
