Thank you sir. The two I tried happened to be the two that were used!
While it would be very surprising if the Higgs turned out to be a boring, Standard-Model Higgs, there are very good reasons to believe that something Higgs-like has to happen at the multi-TeV scale. Basically, without a Higgs the Standard Model yields non-physical predictions (e.g. probabilities for certain processes exceed unity).

In other words, the Standard Model isn't even consistent above a TeV or so without the Higgs. Something has to give.

Edit: to make contact with your example, everyone knew that if you didn't find evidence for the ether, than the model of electromagnetism was very wrong. In fact, that was great justification for carrying out Michelson-Morely type experiments.
Useful blog, thanks. I'm always looking for heads up on startuppy stuff happening around London.

What's surprised me is how few people you actually need to make a city feel like a proper community, once you get those people talking to each other. We organize a london startup poker night and have been benefiting from a couple nearby shared offices -- that little bit of contact has made a world of difference. You need access to other founders, but not as many as one would suppose based on idolizing SF.
All I remember about an early Joost was the bizarre, grossly non-native GUI that was enough to make me bin the app after a few days.

It's still possible, but you will have statistical inaccuracies. If your analysis shows that say almost all events in this area can be abstracted up to this value without losing a significant amount of accuracy that makes the inner box smaller. Factor in our limited speed of travel and the one way nature of causality relative to us on the cosmic scale, you get a theoretically feasible simulation.
It's an old cliché but the market can stay irrational longer than individuals can stay solvent. Insisting on investing in accordance with fundamentals instead of riding the wave of irrationality could be a losing strategy this year, next year, even for a decade. And some rational investors will get burned.

But for investors attempting to ride the wave of irrationality, betting on pictures of apes and shitcoins, some will also get burned.

I just can't see our current situation perpetuating forever - it amounts to unregulated gambling and stocks having 95% of their value associated with "some other mug will pay even more for it later" rather than "the company will distribute some profits". An economy will not prosper if capital ends up randomly allocated.

So rationality will come back, but I don't think any individual investor can bet on when.
I dunno, coding bootcamp is one thing, but do you really want to be operated on by someone fresh out of a 12 week medical bootcamp? lol
Yep, SOHO use cases are where this kind of capability is really useful. ZFS is great when you buy drives by the dozen, but even with this feature it's still inconveniently inflexible if you only have the budget to be upgrading or expanding one drive at a time.
Yep. Cyclists are murdered/manslaughtered with regularity by drivers who recieve zero punishment, and the cyclists and their families receive zero justice. Not just average schmucks in the US, either. Professional cyclists like Michele Scarponi are killed in the EU, too, by a driver using their phone. I forget the results of that case.

But cyclists rarely receive the protection of laws that supposedly exist for that purpose.

Can't possibly agree with that. Slap a fancy clean font on it and it prob solves half the issues people have with it.

I am of the potentially unpopular mindset that we need to get our hands dirty to preserve our freedoms from these people. Worrying about being a gatekeeper when these people gladly, and openly, threaten our peace and lives is ridiculous.

Let's shut them down, shut them out and generally rebuke them. History shows that higher order ideals generally need to be preserved with actions when words have failed, and make no mistake we are past words with these folks.
It's not about GDP, it's about Equities - eg: SPX which averages like 10% growth over last 30 years or something. Getting 4% off $1M isn't that hard at all. And with $1M you may be able to get some portion to work higher yields.
Regarding the second video, there were already protesters behind the barrier so those police may have been ordered to move back to another area.

The bigger concern for me is the understaffing and declining of offers of assistance made by other police departments.

This seems to be using a central server as a relay (which is why they can have n participants). It works pretty well but the latency tends to be too high to actually jam. (Similar to my toy example at piano.jminjie.com)
This is the paradox of tolerance. We can tolerate having a free internet but if it leads to the intolerant taking over and making everything worse, we need to be intolerant of them now, not later.
I haven't thought much about the lower level network stacks but I think social media platforms of a certain size ought to have certain legal requirements to do things that incentivize interoperability or allow competing platforms to emerge (perhaps non-commercial ones.) Primarily things around APIs and data formats.

The not government issued bit would become pretty meaningful if they get shut down or collapse. They are more like IOU notes for fiat currency - Tether owes you one US$.
If you applied this level of extrapolation to US-based OSes, you'd conclude that Windows XP users have never seen green grass or a blue sky in person (they even call it "Bliss," an obvious attempt to play with the emotions of a despondent populace) and that Mac users can only dream of experiencing a proper day and night cycle, a tragic effect of smog, light pollution, and a culture of working indoors under artificial light.

> Donating cash instead of physically participating in charity can be alienating, sure... but certainly more effective.

It can be more effective sure, especially if the physical participation is flying long haul to offer considerably less skilled construction labour than locally-based hungry people. But a division of labour between smart, driven people working outside the third sector to fund it and only people incapable of securing well paid jobs left inside the sector to spend it is also unlikely to lead to better resource allocation. There are certainly initiatives that could use a good software lead more than they could use a generous portion of a software lead's FAANG salary to hire some mediocre contractors, for example.
So because it's news they have the right to film it?

Is there no expectation of privacy from news crews? I thought they could only film in public - a private hospital room should certainly not count.

Anyone have a copy of what the appellate court wrote? (Or can summarize their argument?)

That makes me wonder why sleep deprivation is such a large part of the college experience.
Counter-anecdote: over several years and across multiple installs, I've experienced intermittent stuttering, multi-second latency, and random crazy-high CPU usage. Uninstalling Pulse and going back to alsa in each case completely fixed the problem, with no noticeable loss in functionality.

I've used Linux exclusively as my desktop OS since 1999 - I'm happy to mess with things till they work. I've never had a piece of software frustrate me so much. It made me feel like I was taking crazy pills; everyone else seemed fine with such an obviously broken addition to Linux, worse yet they standardized around it.

Basically, you got lucky, I didn't. Leads to a very different perspectives!
The only thing I disagree with is the visual dropdown for enums (e.g., the modalPresentationStyle). At the end of the day we're still writing code - I feel like instead of English-equivalent descriptors like "Full Screen", "Page Sheet", etc, it needs to labeled with the actual programmatic name. This way the UI is a transparent, helpful supplement to code, not an opaque interface.

This way when I type:

viewController.modalPresentationStyle =

it will pop up the list of possible values, along with visual aids, but I can just keep typing the value I want and tab-complete it. This keeps workflow smooth and prevents me from having to exercise the mouse, and keeps me focused on the code I'm writing rather than creating something that's more of a wizard.

The imageNamed example is a good one: it displays the string you'd use under each icon, and hopefully the search narrows as I begin to type the image name. Quick workflow-easing popups should not require users to interact with them.
i think products targeted at low income demographics are very much sold with a story. a kind of utilitarian "sensibleness" which facilitates contempt for more expensive products.

The Feds won't have to - if each state continues to make it legal/regulated, it's the same effect as descheduling it. It's kind of ingenious, actually, on the part of the Federal government.

Have you known many, um...humans? We are all of us terribly, terribly eager to be on the right side. When we see evidence that our side is wrong, our first instinct is to doubt it, to discredit it, or to ignore it entirely. Changing our minds on issues of core identity does not come easily, if at all. Some of us realize all this; some fewer struggle against it; fewer still manage to actually escape it, sometimes, for a while, in some cases. God knows I try, but the definition of the beast is that we rationalize failure as success; you can never know whether you've actually succeeded or just found a new level of self-deception.

Young Manning's "spectacular naivete" is what the rest of us call "the human condition." But maybe you're the one actual rational human being in all of history. Congratulations.
Labor goes into mining gold, extracting gold etc. But it can then be used for capping teeth, heat shields, photographic equipment etc., as well as for a currency.

Labor does go into "mining" bitcoins. People build Bitcoin ASICs, people pay people to drill oil to make the electricity that powers those ASICs etc.

But gold has a number of real use values. Bitcoin has no real use value. It is inherently worthless.

People have used all kinds of commodities through history as currency. Cows, rice etc. As precious metals like gold are portable, storable, easily divisible, standardized etc. they make good currencies. An ounce of gold is the same as another ounce of gold, while rice goes bad, cows die, and one cow may give more milk than another. But the value still comes from its underlying usefulness as an industrial metal etc. Bitcoins have no underlying value such as this.
Things have been a little weird at work with how interviews are going so I haven't done this in the last few interviews, but usually I tell the interviewee that I am just trying to figure out their skills, that I want to hire somebody, and if you don't like a question, or have a different way to present your skills to me, please change the course of the interview. Unfortunately it is somewhat rare for people to do so - usually senior people are far more likely to turn it into a conversation and demonstration than a junior person.

I also like the idea of asking the person to give a presentation. Give them an amount of time, to include questions, and they choose the topic. I don't think that works with everybody, so I'd never mandate it, but a lot of people really thrive in that situation. You get to talk about something you know, demonstrate your passion, and so on. The down side is that it can entail a big time commitment from the person.
'Do x in y seconds or you die', is totally different than 'Do x and we shall review it later' by your friends.

The biggest problem with testing knowledge than checking their work is, you ultimately end up hiring a lots of people who know(or atleast act that way) everything but can do nothing.

So, is it too hard to accept that direct exposure to the magnitude of what was actually happening made him conscious of his role in perpetuating institutional violence? That perhaps in his service as a low level functionary of the army intelligence service he became conscious of how he was acting as part of the machinery of oppression that held him down as well? One could almost say that he became conscious of himself as a member of a class of people who enable the oppression of others so that it falls slightly less harshly upon their own backs.
Which of these did Manning point out?

That's why it should be the file system storing backups, not the document itself.

One should also consider a logarithmic decrease in backups: while I'm writing, a backup of the state a few seconds ago is useful, but I don't need every second from weeks ago. Say the system keeps a backup of every few seconds for the last few minutes, every few minutes for the last few hours, every few hours for the last few days, every few days for the last few weeks, every few weeks for the last few months, every few months for the last few years--the odds are then pretty good that I'd be able to revert to a version I find useful, but not requiring an awful lot of versions.

Back of the envelope: 5 versions/minute for 5 minutes = 25 versions; 4 versions/hour for 8 hours = 24 versions; 3 versions/day for seven days = 21 versions; 4 versions/week for four weeks = 16 versions; 1 version/month for 4 years = 48 versions, so a grand total of 134 previous versions of a document, which really isn't that much space, particularly assuming efficient differencing algorithms.
There are hidden sacrifices and costs. 99% of my good friends in this profession took depression medicine at some point of their lives.
As a software developer with several years in Boston and DC each, I can tell you 100k does not allow for a mortgage on a SFH within a 20 minute commute to work in either place, which is basically the american dream.

Boston is even worse, the available real estate is all older and smaller and nearly as expensive as SF. I'd say feature for feature your money probably goes further in SF than in Boston.

> Why do you think self-driving-cars are so far fetched? We already have some pretty good prototypes.

We've had pretty good prototypes for more than 20 years. There are two huge barriers:

(1) The progress in computer vision, like voice recognition, has slowed. People had pretty good speech recognition since the 1980's, but the gap between "pretty good" and "good enough to use" remains uncrossed. The gap in computer vision for cars will be even wider because mistakes will be much more costly.

(2) Even with all the tech problems solved, the regulatory hurdles to implementing this are staggering.

Suffice it to say, I would make a "Long Bet" (longbets.org/) against autonomous cars making up 5% of all cars in 20 years, with 10:1 odds.

> Additionally, what would be those massively positive effects?

Car accidents cost the US about $250 Billion per year, with 45,000 killed. Autonomous driving has the potential to decrease this by at least an order of magnitude (most accidents are due to driver error). That's a mind-bogglingly staggering benefit.

10 million Americans commute more than an hour each day, which is $25 Billion per year at minimum wage. There's much more lost among the rest of the commuters, and a factor of 4 to account for realistic wages.

I could go on about how autonomous driving would also (a) drastically reduce the total number of cars we'd need, (b) cut emissions and gas usage by allowing ubiquitous slip streaming, (c) virtually eliminate the need for nearby parking in cities, freeing up vast amounts of extremely valuable real estate.
This is very similar to a south park episode. Guy runs to a bunch of dying, dirt poor people in affrica "We have the cure for AIDS! You just have to inject 500,000 dollars directly into your veins! Woo!"

Basically this "cure" is of the type where the guy was about to die, he underwent a procedure that had a 50% or so survival rate, upon success he is cured of most strains of HIV.

Hey its great, we know this thing can be killed. Lets see if we can put that knowledge to work. But this is not a generic "cure".
Yes, that is what we do. We include a Boost subset. But that shouldn't be necessary. It's extra maintenance, duplication, and annoying.

I always thought being able to design code itself was the main way to get productivity. That takes way longer than actually typing the code, and you can do it on a whiteboard / pen and paper. I’ve never used a window manager that affected my productivity in any way.

I’m fact I’m much more productive since I stopped tweaking my Emacs config and just thought before writing code.

I disagree that these are on the same level - compiling something yourself, or having something compiled by ie the Arch Linux maintainers requires a number of people to comply.

The result was the creation of the Federal Reserve. All of the biggest market crisis in US history (either by total or percentage) have happened under the watch of the Fed. In fact, most of them could not have happened without express intervention by the Fed incentivizing bad behavior.

If anything, it seems like crashes are inevitable and government intervention has simply made the crashes bigger and longer-lasting.
ARM themselves helped do the legwork here; aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu is already a Tier 1 supported platform thanks to their work https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support.htm...

But it is true that there are other aarch64-* triples that could move up (including aarch64-linux-android). Getting to Tier 1 is extremely hard due to the CI requirements.

I never said it was inherent. I just said there are clearly cultural differences across races [meaning in the US today.] This is not a unique position held only by me. There are plenty of black people, for example, who will openly talk about this, including Bill Cosby and Thomas Sowell, among others. Although on a separate point I'd say it's not 100% proven that somehow all failure or imperfection on the part of black Americans, to take one just group, is solely the fault of feeling oppressed, or having suffered from a history of oppression or being a minority or "on the bottom." Some of it may just be due to the results of personal choices and personal behavior and willpower. It's almost shocking to me that I have to suggest this with such caution and delicacy.
