Your comment made me wonder: if nowadays air battles are being decided based on stealth, long-range sensors and long-range AA missiles, why aren't we seeing a resurgence of cheap prop planes such as the Hawker Fury?

I mean, the price of a single F22 Raptor is speculated to be around $180M, while the price of a single Hawker Fury was established to be around $55k.

Although a F22 may dominate all technical criteria, it loses heavily on cost and the amount of resources that need to be spent to get one up and running.

Moreover, it appears that the cost of building a single F22 is enough to build, maintain, man and train a hefty number of complete squadrons, which could also be equipped with the same long-range sensors and weaponry.

It's sub-sea permafrost and it's possibly we have already damaged it so badly all the methane will leak and there's little we can do and there's little we know -- Russian Artic seafloors are in every which way pretty hostile to scientific research. (And also oil drilling, if you want to know more Google for Exxon Kara Sea and ponder what it means the Russian-awarded ex-CEO of Exxon is now the Secretary of State)

As far as I am aware, most (all?) discoveries were made from surface vessels, often seeing a foaming sea, foaming methane. It's real bad.
Having worked in the nuclear industry and watched the show, it's clear mob NIMBYs, politics and govt mismanagement have made us less safe than a central, well-managed nuclear waste facility (either for-profit, PPP or govt not run by current DOE) in the middle of Nevada. Liquid radioactive waste concentration is also a necessary and complicated process that needs to happen to make it viable.

Mass-manufactured energy solutions like Taylor Wilson proposed in a TED talk are really great idea as reactors are too often complicated and labor-intensive. They need to be less than several gigabucks, insurable and designed for simple, fail-safe and regenerable scram operation in an almost un-attended, remote-factory-monitored configuration.
I'm not sure this meets the definition of flexibility by most people. In the casual sense at least. I imagine most people think of flexibility at work to mean they can come in late when they need, take a long break for errands, finish early etc. I think the key difference is that the latter type of flexibility tends to be largely unplanned, and at best communicated at the last minute, or even not at all ("sorry, I woke up late...").

I can certainly see the advantages of the latter form of flexibility to each individual, and the freedom it provides. but for a company or a team that needs to work together and rely on each other, this unplanned flexibility can cause lots of problems... whereas your boss's flexibility is complete easy to work with.
The easiest solution to this is to respond with automated emails, but instead only when a human decides it's appropriate.

We send from "auto@", but have a reply-to of "support@" or something more specific depending on the exact case. This does seem to help a little bit with slightly reducing non-human emails.
Computer science and software development are different disciplines, and software developers do value iteration time a lot. Tooling you use and algorithms/programming language principles at play should be viewed independently.

A total aside here, but this Humean view of science isn't really accurate, though often repeated.

It isnt that something happens 1000x. It's that we arrive at a causal explanation of how something happens and then this explanation is confirmed across 1000 instances, so on the basis of this causal explanation being accurate enough, it is reasonable to predict the 1001.

The difference is that in the Humean "1000x therefore 1001" case there is no reason to suppose 1001. If the world were really just these sequences it would be inexplicable. Rather, the world has a causal structure and it this that we better understand by making inferences.

Reducing emissions is strictly a moral argument that has not been won. We don't have to cut CO2. But we should because it is the right thing to do. All the economic hocus pocus of the last couple of decades has not convinced people of that fact.
I'm very surprised a university can put out articles like this (even as news release!) while containing such gems as:

> A computer can’t even divide three properly and must rely on an approximation to do calculations. Working in base 60 could have great advantages for modern computing, because a lot of computing energy is spent making calculations using inexact numbers, and errors are also introduced when approximations are made. “If computers could be programmed to work in base 60 it might be possible to increase accuracy and decrease cost,” says Dr Mansfield. “This would be particularly beneficial for work requiring high accuracy, such as surveying, or scientific calculations, or where power is an issue, such as in space probes or where speed is an issue, such as in computer graphics.”
The page says fuselage was extended to add more room for fuel so it doesn't look like there was room to add a second seat, at least, not without having to make two very different fuselages.

Googling about, it seems like regular P51 two-seat conversions were done by reducing fuel capacity as well.

This "quicker ending" narrative justifies unlimited escalation of violence.
Forests aren't always a panacea. Sure, rainforests mutually support others in similar tropic and subtropical bands with rainfall patterns, but in the melting tundra forests of Russia, there is an effort to deforest permafrost to keep it from melting using large herds of animals like bison or reindeer to kill the trees because plains are less insulated in winter than forests. Without restoration of tundra back to plains, it's likely larger swaths of land will melt and collapse into a moonscape.
Yes. Simplifying complicated code is THAT BIG of a priority.

Whoever news of refused donations turn up, I always find myself wondering how news of the refusal broke. I'm assuming that the prospective recipients made some sort of public announcement to the effect that an offer had been made and that aforementioned offer had been refused — presumably, according to my thinking, a unilateral act.

As such I'm somewhat nonplussed by the idea of a prospective beneficiary criticising a prospective benefactor for being inherently manipulative, when they themselves would seem to be those harnessing the occasion to make some sort of statement while basking in the reflected limelight.

True statements would be made far from the public sphere: anonymous donations that avoid any allegation of being for PR purposes, and silent refusals that don't grab the chance to rub somebody's face in it.

>I see free speech and democracy as a kind of way or protecting society from local minima: a reality check to ensure we break out of nasty patterns. I'm not sure it's working very well with respect to large "private" entities.

It's interesting to me that you would say that, because if you look at the US in the late 19th and early 20th century when the country had significantly more powerful private entities than we do today, it was the press that helped to change public opinion and decrease their direct power and control.

I believe free speech is necessary so that speech advocating lawless action doesn't become necessary. By that I mean that advocating for a change in policy or type of government should be allowed and be open as the alternative is significantly greater violence. The revolutions in France and the US began with open words and attempts to change policy. When that started to be punished, the eventual result was not people changing their minds, but instead others going underground and violence increasing at a dramatic pace. Many other revolutions and rebellions, failed and successful, began the same way.

That's why people advocating the overthrow of government need to be allowed to speak openly and be heard. They can then be reasoned with and if necessary placated.
How different is this from Intel's vtune amplifier? I used vtune amplifier to get the memory profiles for some c++ code I had written before.
I used Acornsoft ISO Pascal on a BBC Micro. It came in two 16KB ROMs. These included an editor.
I agree with this sentiment. Any time worse than the fastest is due to noise in the system (schedulers etc). So the fastest is the lowest noise run.

Of course, as I said in another comment it depends what you want to do with the measurement. If you plan to edit how long a run will take on an existing system, then you need to accept the noise and use the mean (or median).
How is this related to HN?
Hmm, looks interesting, but it's quite unfortunate that making the compilation process be useful at runtime-error-removal is merely optional ("strong mode"). So one wonders how many shops write enough "prototype" code in "weak mode" that they decide to leave it in its Python-like mess instead of rewriting for "strong mode"...
Yes, but are they looking at protests in the sense meant in OP?

A campaign rally funded and organized as a protest is not a protest. If these were astroturfed then all they tell us that attendance at campaign rallies can have political effects.

One question which I am thinking lately is "Is there any way to get smarter?"

I have thought a lot and read alot. But most of the material have found in the internet are not based on research!

Second question would be "Is intelligence direct result of awareness?" So we can say "The more you are aware, the more you can be intelligent".

P.S. By awareness I don't mean knowledge.

It is never only about physics when we talk about impact of climate change. Even if you talk about catastrophic runaway warming, it is caused by ecosystem-level feedback loops.

The question raised is what are the possible net-good feedback loops? Will flora benefit from it widely and expand everywhere? Will that be a good thing?

To paraphrase:
This is where you are wrong. You may not understand it but the science is far from solid. It is not well known what happens when ecosystems react to too much greenhouse gases. "The physics is indisputable." is a hollow statement.

disclaimer: I am for active prevention of such things occurring, just for strategic reasons like "we don't have a clue what we're doing and we are apparently doing SOMETHING". But to claim it is obvious and "indisputable" sounds like dangerous propaganda to me.
Because the data shows something else entirely and is always misrepresented.

For example, the lab manager study that's quoted was for a lab manager in psychology. Which actually has greater female than male representation. Minor detail. Oh, and the effect could only be reproduced if the fake applicants were both (a) mediocre and (b) exactly equally qualified.

Whereas Ceci and Williams found a 2:1 hiring advantage for women in STEM, with a much larger and to the best of my knowledge also much more careful study.

Ah yes. Sadly did not realize it in time to be able to change it.
Virtue signaling often isn't about changing the world, it's a competing brand of mob populism seeking oppression olympics brownie points. Instead, folks gotta call, email and snail mail their reps and protest to their staffers focused, loudly and often... unless they choose to get involved and attempt to offer a viable alternative to incompetence and/or corruption as a career. Blocking an intersection for 30 seconds to be arrested or protesting in the middle of nowhere does f-all.
It's depressing to see commenters with no understanding of what actually happened at Grenfell.

Here is what actually happened: the cladding used does not meet UK safety standards, and there were warnings from experts and residents that the cladding was not safe to use.

The council decided to ignore the warnings, because cheap and dangerous cladding saved around £300,000 on a £9m refurb that residents argued wasn't needed in the first place and which they didn't particularly benefit from.

It certainly wasn't an energy saving measure.

The right-wing Tory council is not poor[1]. It has cash reserves of £200m, and gave council tax payers a £100 refund around the time of the refurb.

So yes - this is absolutely about right-wing greed, and right-wing disdain for the relatively poor.

[1] Although it's going to be a lot poorer once this is settled.

Really? Because there are a lot of cruddy things in the recent past to consider. I lived in New York during the Occupy rallies several years ago, I don't recall them having significant effects much beyond Wall Street (literally, the street/downtown train stops). There was a lot of coverage, but I didn't get the impression that people were losing their shit about it.
I had similar fears in my last appartment building (12th floor) after a deadly fire in the neighbouring tower. I ended up buying a long rope at a climbing outlet and some used climbing gear. There are also more expensive fire proof rope ladders but the rope worked for me.

That it a very strange interpretation of your own links. Essentially, what those articles were saying is that Japan was holding out on surrender to negotiate better terms, hopeful that consistent with the 5 year neutrality agreement with the Soviets the Soviets would assist in negotiations with the US. Short of obtaining the more desirable terms Japan seemed to be more than willing to accept the loses, in fact their leaders are quoted as saying the loses would only strengthen and unify the Country further.

You can claim Japan was going to surrender, but they were not, the Soviet invasion was helpful in the sense that it made clear the Soviets were not going to assist in negotiations, so there was no more reason for a holdout on diplomatic terms, but as a result Japan was beholden to the military option over unconditional surrender, until the 2nd bomb, and again even then surrender may not have occurred if the coup was successful against the Emperor.

Finally, if it were really the Soviet invasion, you think the Emperor would have been more inclined to acknowledge them, rather in his surrender speech he mentions only one concern, specifically:

"the enemy has begun to employ a new and most cruel bomb, the power of which to do damage is, indeed, incalculable, taking the toll of many innocent lives. Should we continue to fight, not only would it result in an ultimate collapse and obliteration of the Japanese nation, but also it would lead to the total extinction of human civilization."
The skill of programming is really about translating tasks that are semantically meaningful to humans (ie making a user friendly online booking site for a hotel) into "meaningless" instructions that can be computed by a turing complete machine. That's very different from, say, deriving a faster partition algorithm by using half-swaps instead of full swaps (as demonstrated by Andrei Alexandrescu last year).
Is it free? Can the code be verified for backdoors? Does it work on non-intel chips?

We are seeing a resurgence of prop planes, but only for low-intensity roles. [1] However, low and slow planes are vulnerable to cheap MANPADs [2], and in the event of a near-peer conflict (ie, US vs China), they simply can't operate on the front lines. A ~$600,000 Sidewinder from an F-22 can shoot one down with ease, but a cheap prop plane simply doesn't have the sensors for shooting back.
