Have you tried killing all the poor?

What about changing the hyper-parameters and killing all the poor?

"They fulfill fantasies of control, seek personal thrills like flying, have sex with Jeremy Allen White."

I really hope someone called Jeremy Allen White reads this.

I'm (not) Jerry A. White, and I approve this message.-

iirc these all use GCP which would make sense for them all to be disrupted at the same time. I wouldn't have thought Meta was GCP reliant though?

There’s no way fb uses gcp

all of them are using oauth, likely auth provider issue?

https://www.cloudflarestatus.com is reporting an issue with SSO login. So seems like you might be onto something..

Definitely not us.

And I assumed it would be DNS again. Would referral traffic cause issues like this?

...in american football.

Context and history matter as this is the complete opposite for soccer:

- Smaller numbers go to the defenders and big guys

- Larger numbers are given to younger & academy player

- Numbers like 7, 9, 10, 8 & 6 all have a specific meaning on the pitch

So yeah, numbers matter, but so does everything else.

Having grown up in Argentina, it always annoyed me seeing players in any sport with numbers that don’t resemble certain position or role.

That is basically all this study is showing. The NFL (American football) used to subscribe to this and had strict rules over what numbers people could wear. 1-19 were reserved for the smallest players (quarterbacks, punters, and kickers). That was loosened roughly 25 years ago to allow slightly bigger players (wide receivers). They loosened it even more drastically within the last few years to allow most players to wear 0-19. It therefore isn't a surprise that people who see small numbers have a bias to think that player is smaller as that has been historically true. It would be interesting to repeat this study among younger generations of Americans and then international people who have no knowledge of the NFL. I would expect the first group would have a weaker effect and it might disappear entirely for the second group.

*Number ranges used to be used to indicate a player position, not their size... The average quarterback is significantly larger than the average cornerback, for example, and punters or kickers have no typical size (body size/shape doesn't factor into kicking ability).

of course there's been exceptions as well. Jamie Carragher's #23 for example.

"Number 1 is Carragher. Number 2 is Carragher. Number 3 is Carragher.

We all dream of a team of Carraghers!"

couldn't resist

Same with rugby. 1 and 3 are the largest / heaviest players on the field.

4 & 5 might be even heavier in some teams. But the 1-8 (forwards) will outweigh 9-15 (backs) by a lot.

Also smartest, most brave, and the best dancers etc.

I think it would be interesting to study the effect in sports that have no restrictions on who gets what number. Like (I think) basketball.

Don't forget that 1 is normally the goalkeeper.

my margarita is just liquid at this point.

"People are part of terroir"

The most common type of machine automation in the wine industry is the use of optical sorters - no longer do you need rows of people separating good grapes from raisains and debris. The machine scans what's going through the shoot and uses multiple prongs to flick anything unwanted into a separate container. The sorters are even transportable to different wineries and vineyards.

The issue is that wine is not an engineering product, people don't want it all to taste the same. These machines do have calibration but in my experience we're getting too close to wine as a generic product. That is my fear with something like this - we know more than ever about grapes and when to harvest, we lose what makes a wine unique.

So while I praise this product and the exciting world of agricultural technology - just not sure it's the right direction for wine.
