One concept that I hope most people in science and engineering have internalized is that, for any problem people have studied for decades, there is no simple solution that will comprehensively solve that problem. The problems with simple, comprehensive solutions would've been solved already. What's left are challenging problems where at most, you might chip off a corner of the problem with a simple solution.

One thing I've thought about many times, there needs to be a way to talk about a situation where a person can't prove criminal misconduct based on the known facts alone, but also... there's no way you'd let that creep near your children either.

Canada joining the EU as a replacement for its former economic alignment with the US would be an interesting twist. Or Canada and Mexico could form a Pan-American trade group with nations from Central and South America.

Something I just figured out:
“We tested the system with 8 million concurrent listeners earlier today.”
Is testing just a few hours beforehand enough time to do anything to scale up, if they found the systems were insufficient? Can you locate, rent/buy, and setup enough additional virtual machines in only a few hours? Especially given that Elmo fired 90% of the original Twitter employees? Remember also Elmo became notorious for paying Twitter bills late.

Are puzzles like Nonograms and Sudoku copyrightable? If so, by what nations? I don't know, and I don't know if I care. I just can't support a site that seems so cavalier about whether the original authors are credited and paid.
So now I need to find another source of puzzles that aren't stolen. At this point, I can and should be willing to pay for original content, so it doesn't have to be free.

I discovered a website that has a huge library of Nonogram puzzles that you can play online and print on paper for offline play.
They take user submissions (and they pay submitters) - cool. However, when reading about that, the FAQ gave me the distinct impression the website owners don't investigate plagiarism claims, and in fact they tacitly encourage stealing from other sources as that's mostly how they have such a huge library of puzzles.

The water plant is nearing capacity to remove nitrates, which is pushed both by higher nitrate levels & higher consumption. To avoid exceeding nitrate limits, starting today, Central Iowa Water Works has issued a total ban on lawn watering as a final act to avoid exceeding federal nitrate limits.

I remember BIll Stowe clashing with ag-lobbyists, where the lobbyists claimed they were doing exactly the right things to protect water in Iowa, and that further legislation and lawsuits were not necessary.
Now, in 2025, Central Iowans must curtail water usage, not because there isn't enough water, but because the source water is too contaminated with farm runoff nitrates.

US Congress has considered, but not passed, at least one bill [1] to stop making the penny. That Congress has decided to NOT stop making the penny implies Congress WANTS to keep making the penny. If Congress changed its mind, it can pass a new bill at any time.
Any journalist covering #POTUS47 order to stop making the penny needs to cover where the true power lies to make such a decision.

My best wishes to President Biden and his family. Hoping for a full and complete recovery.

@ernie That’s an interesting piece, and good for DHH to have such a generous attitude about the success of Ruby on Rails without it directly benefiting himself.
However, I have to say I have a different reaction to it from what the author may have intended. Maybe the companies that benefit so richly from OSS need to do more to retroactively compensate the folks that built their foundation. Reference #XKCD2347. Unfortunately I don’t think there will ever be a good solution to this situation.

I am browsing Harry & David for a “thinking of you gift”. I think I’m seeing a deliberate pattern to upsell — every item page offers a couple suggestions of similar items that are about 25 to 50% more expensive. If the suggestions were based solely on customer shopping patterns, I’d expect occasionally to see a same-priced or less-expensive item, which is the case with most other online retailers.

I think we all knew a Melon Husk / Turnip meltdown was inevitable, but I didn't think it'd happen this soon, escalate this quickly, or blowup this spectacularly.

I remember when my wife and I were conceiving and anticipating the birth of our children, knowing all the potential problems, I worried a lot! I hoped my kids would be born healthy. Having girls was a bonus, but not something I spent much time thinking about.
I read today that Vivian says her father, Melon Husk, paid to have only boys through sex-selective IVF, and that is why he's tilting about her being transgender.

Tesla stock was at about $228 at noon, March 11.
Then POTUS47 did his Whitehouse car showroom. Tesla stock got a little bump, closing on March 12 at $248.09.
As many predicted, that bump was short-lived. Tesla stock at noon today (March 13) has settled to about $235, with most of the bump gone.

In the last 1-2 months, I've seen many #NintendoSwitch physical games go out of stock & not be restocked. (Example: Pokemon Sword and Shield phys are both currently sold out at bestbuy.com)
I'd also read an article that observed several other games that seem to be out-of-print; they surmised the reason is expectation Nintendo will release their next gen console this year.
If you prefer physical Switch games, maybe now is the time to buy them.

True story time. ~7 years ago, onsite team meeting
New hire said when starting job, they thought "model" in job description meant we take photos, wondered where the girls were. Initially sounded like joke, but as they kept going, I realized they were serious. Next few years confirmed laziness, lack of curiosity.
How do you see "model" in #DataAnalytics job & not research it enough to know it means "predictive model" before interview?
