I'll add another (flawed of course) analogy:

You have a shed to store valuables. Because that's inconvenient for selling your stuff as you live far outside the city, you get a storage unit in the city and move some of your belongings there. There is a big government grant for all storage buildings based on the current value they store. Your shed at home is pretty empty, so you don't get much. The owner of your storage unit gets a lot of money. Does he owe you?

China and Japan, are #2 and #3 in GDP. FYI.
You're assuming than a developed country can have 10x the output of another developed country, per capita. If that happens, then the second country isn't actually developed :)

The new super powers are way more likely to be China and India, as their huge populations go through the generational shift of people moving out of the lower class into the middle class.
That's a lot of text that dances around the problem. Wouldn't the issue be solved if exchanges just offer IOUs for a particular chain instead of claiming to be a "wallet" or "bank" holding your asset? If they want to claim they are holding a user's "coins" (which is a misnomer to be honest and is an inaccurate representation of how blockchains work), then they better have a particular address and private key somewhere for ever user that holds assets on their exchange.
You can surely allocate on callers stack on C++, that is how return value optimization works, and was made explicit on ANSI C++17 standard.
When I visited New York, on the way to Statue of Liberty, they made a stop to a place called 'Ellis Island'. That happens to be the place all the early European immigrants landed. So in some way US was considered a beacon and refuge to the worlds freedom loving people who wanted to make a good life for themselves.

And then there was a guide that talked about Thomas Alva Edison and how the American populace of those time felt and had a sense of pride in Edison. They couldn't match the Universities and post-Industrial revolution/renaissance intellectual capital of Europe, but they were happy that people were building the same intellectual capital in their private enterprises.

But in the mean time Germany bled away its best to the US. Ivy leagues happened in the US. The rest is known history.

The same compounding forces that can cause run away success, when applied in a negative sense, the compounding way, can cause run away destruction.

Yeah, but once you decide that the leftmost runway you see (with the dark void on its left) is the left runway, then obviously the parallel strip of lights to the right of it is the right runway. Sure, the lights look odd, and your gut's giving off this feeling, but you see, that's the left runway, and I don't see the right runway anywhere else, so this must be the...

Intellectual property has many differences with other forms of property. The differences consist of two main properties that tangible property has which intellectual property does not: scarcity and exclusivity.

- Ideas are not scarce goods. They are for all intents and purposes infinite.
- Ideas cannot be exclusive. Two people can have the same idea at the same time.

There are only so many apples available, restricted by sunlight and water and nutrients and such. If I hold an apple, another person can't also hold that apple at the same time.

Threat Hunting: Do Hackers Know Where You Are
The main reason is that computers aren't very smart although I know that even some developers think that.

Actually they can autoland but not everywhere and then you still need to tell them where, basically tune them in on the right glide path. Then you really need to be prepared to take over any second, which is a dangerous position on its own. (Just like all self driving cars right now.)

It's still possible to select the wrong ILS beacon or entering the wrong speed or whatever, and something can still show up in front of the plane.

It's just better in low visibility where you otherwise manually have to follow the ILS 'needles'.

Didn't a plane crash there killing some chinese schoolgirls just because the pilots forgot to set the correct speed. Either it was set too low or they set it but did not activate it. And then the monitoring pilot forgot to monitor the speed since the autopilot never fails...
28L was dark apart from the X, and the taxiway was lit (albeit with taxi Lane instead of runway lights). Expecting two lit lanes and approaching the one on the right, they certainly saw something "off" but this wasn't a case of pilots choosing to avoid the only lit lane.
Not quite. They don't have the pop. China is on the verge. Time will tell if they clear the bar, or they stall like Japan (they have the advantage of land and pop., but it's getting older). Russia, if they ever just got their economic and political house in order could again become a rival in a couple decades.

Right now the only contender is China. They have money and they have been throwing it around in Africa like nobody's business. They are also flexing in the SCS to impress their neighbors in PH, VN, MY, JP, etc.

Germany will only ever be a regional power, but not global. They don't have the reach.
How about equity instead of equality?

Anyway, "social mobility" generally just means there's no caste system or effective caste system. If the inequity in the system means that a small percent of people hold most of the wealth and power, what difference does it make if anyone has a chance to join that elite?

In a zero-sum game, social mobility is better to exist than not but it isn't going to actually change anything fundamental.
If someone in Canada is truly several times more productive than anyone in the U.S., some U.S. company will offer them several times more money than any Canadian company will. This is the down-side of having our economy linked so closely with that of the U.S.. They poach our best talent aggressively. If politics lets us turn the tables for a few years, that's great, but it's not going to make us a superpower.
Oh look, yet another article about a country that's doing education better than us here in the US. And the funny thing is that they all seem to do things in different ways.

You know what I think the problem is? Americans on the whole just don't care about public education. Either in terms of quality or equity.
Well, in that sense, Rust does return value optimization too, and it has been doing so basically since forever. Because Rust has no copy constructor, RVO in Rust does not need any explicit support from the language specification.
I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that the terrabytes of data generated by these computational proofs are created using an algorithm that has been proven correct by a human, so I am further assuming that the potential for uncertainty you are positing comes from machine error (especially since you use the term "physical"). Are you aware of the rate of physical error in modern CPUs, memory, and storage technologies when they are arrayed in a redundant fashion? It is extremely low, and very unlikely even for a data set of this size, especially when compared to human error rates. Furthermore, were this to be replicated by someone else on another set of machines, the likelihood of the same bit flip due to physical error is so unlikely as to be astronomical in its probability.

We're discussing a matter of 10s of feet between the near-collision we saw, clipping the tail of one plane, or hitting the plane behind at landing speed, so I imagine the set of "what could have happened" is rather large.

That said, I suspect the following three crashes give _some_ indication of what might have happened:

USAir 1493 - 737 collides with a turbo-prop on landing; the smaller plane is essentially crushed by the 737

Asiana 214 - Landing gear and tail clip seawall on approach

Tenerife disaster - 747 strikes the side of a second 747 a few seconds after leaving the ground on takeoff; engines, lower fuselage and main landing gear struck the plane. 583 fatalities.

>>The new super powers are way more likely to be China and India, as their huge populations move into the middle class.

Huge populations means nothing in the context of India. Unfortunately our politicians have repeated this tripe enough number of times to make it look like its some kind of inevitable economic dividend which we will reap.

The only known purpose masses of population have in a knowledge driven era like we live in is to compete with machine automation as meat robots, until the machine automation gets cheaper.

Beyond this having a huge population without good education, training and lack of a general progressive culture is a net negative. To sustain these people you get a huge defense bill and a range of social security spending thatlargely taxes productive people in a disproportionate way.

You also have to deal with a huge population scale with weird political and religious beliefs. Its a net negative.
I use dc every now and then but I wish it'd do decimal math by default.

9 35 5 12 *+/p

Furthermore I think it's strange that the order of the operands of the division operator is divisor as top-most value on the stack and dividend as second top-most value and not the other way around.

For example, to me it'd feel more natural if

3 5 /p

was equivalent to

5 / 3

in infix notation, not

3 / 5

Because when I think of a fraction I think of it as "dividend over divisor".

Edit: Actually I Googled and it makes sense now. I've been focusing on what's on the stack but if we look at what is provided as input instead then it becomes "calculate dividend, calculate divisor, divide". Longer example which shows this:

Algebraic expression

(4 + 2 * 5) / (1 + 3 * 2)

They were very close. See [1]. They were over the centerline of taxiway C, and 85 feet AGL crossing taxiway W. Minimum altitude was 2.5 secs later. There were three planes ahead, an A-340, a B-787 (also 55 feet high at the tail), and some UAL jet of about the same size.

A few feet lower and there would have been a collision.

Hmmm, "let's assume for the sake of argument" is usually used to introduce a premise that the author does not (necessarily) believe to be true, and this is exactly what happened here. Otherwise we wouldn't have to "assume" it "for the sake of argument".

Introducing a premise you believe to be true is done differently, for example: "it happens to be the case..."

So anyway, the point of the little mathematical exercise was to show that even highly skewed outcomes in "harassment" don't allow you to conclude that there is an environment that is open or encouraging, at least not if you have an unequally distributed population, because in such skewed populations, you get highly skewed outcomes even if the propensity is equal (which it most likely isn't).

> People harass other people when the environment is open to it or encourages it.

> That seems to happen in a lot of male-dominated environments.

Evidence that this is at all causative? Especially given the numbers I provided.

Anyway, another big factor is that in humans, the male is very much required to initiate, and that something like 70% of relationships happen on the job (and yes the drive to reproduce is one of our most powerful motivators, otherwise we'd be extinct as a species). Couple that with socially awkward nerds and the weird expansion of the definition of "harassment", particularly in the US, and I think you've got it covered.

Oh, and add companies like Uber where breaking laws, rules and norms is company policy.
I'd suggest S&P index funds for the remaining third. If it's FU money already, taking out a third and putting into a known-decent investment because you don't need it right now should be a good way to ensure that you can actually retire whenever you'd like to.
The best framing is the headwind/tailwind issue. We feel the headwinds (obstacles in our way) and take our tailwinds for granted (the privileges and luck we enjoy).

There's lots of evidence that the successful in our society are largely deluded in how much they downplay the significance of their privileges and luck.

The worse-off people aren't any smarter, but when everyone is mainly aware only of headwinds and not tailwinds, those who happen to have less tailwinds inherently are aware of a greater percentage of their context.

I actually know several instances of how company expects employees to sacrifice everything for the wellbeing of company and how company takes care of employees for life.

One example, during 2008 crisis, the company my friend was working for 20+ years already, was in trouble and didn't pay employees for almost a year. My friend continued to work for the company despite it being bankrupt and him not getting paid for so long.

Once company turnaround completed and came out of bankruptcy, owners not only made unpaid employees whole but has done much more for the employees that stuck around during bad times.

The loyalty runs both ways.

Nope.

Now the point of snapchat is to binge watch videos of other people.

Snapchat sells ads the same way the media company does. So their KPI is time spent, like how a broadcast company determines ad rates.

Their strategy is to detach the accountability of clicks or performance.

You spend six figures with Snap to impress your brands to the same demo (Gen Z) that used to tune in to MTV (Gen X) and Youtube (Gen Y).

As such, here Instagram is following suit. Vertical scrolling is just manual scrubbing.
I don't get this.

First and foremost, RAID, in many, many cases, is hardware level and it's sorted by mdraid if not. So I never understood why btrfs tried to implement this before having stable other things; it should have been an extra in the end.

LVM... well. LVM works, that is for sure. It's also painful, and the last time I tried the same amount of LVM2 snapshots as I have in ZFS it rendered my machine usesless in speed.

But features like built-in encryption, transparent compression, cow - these are _useful_. XFS has it's own problems, especially if you manage to fill it up 100% - I had to reboot numerous production servers due to this -, and it lacks all 3.

ZFS should be the answer. I'm aware of the license issues, still, ZFS is decades ahead of the other solutions. I'm also aware that the MD+LVM+XFS+Stratis will fit better in the UNIX philosophy - including the overhead of learning all the non-standardised, completely un-intuitive commands they have on their own.
> But the children of newly-arrived, migrant families seem to integrate rapidly enough to perform at the same high level as their classmates.

Quite the opposite, I think. I don't have the data to back it up, but it always seemed like the migrant kids excelled far more often in STEM courses (to the point where our classes were considered trivial or elementary) than their Canadian-born peers.
Take this for what it is - I'm a software developeer who works in the cloud, not a cloud expert.

The abstraction behind AZs is what every AZ counts for at least 1 data centre. So for every region there is at least 2 AZs, and every AZ means at least 1 data centre (or 5 in your link).

This just means it's harder to take out a whole region by destroying individual data cetnres. Since most regions consist of 2-5 AZ, and AZs consist of 5+ data centres, that means destroying dozens of data centres.

At a rate of growth of 7%, from which India was not far off in the last 10 years, your economy doubles in 10 years. Let's say that it's a bit slower and it takes 12 years. This still means that India will double its economy by 2030. And unless they mess it up really badly their growth should keep going.

It's called ILS, Instrument Landing System, and it's been around for literally 80 years.

> The first landing of a scheduled U.S. passenger airliner using ILS was on January 26, 1938, when a Pennsylvania Central Airlines Boeing 247D flew from Washington, D.C., to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and landed in a snowstorm using only the Instrument Landing System

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_landing_system

Presumably they must have done a visual approach or something, because their ILS would have been outright incapable of directing them down the taxiway, as it's for obvious reasons not equipped for ILS approaches.
They are outlived by Japanese-Americans though.
