Land ice, such as that which covers Greenland and Antarctica, does indeed depress the local crust. Exactly how much we're not quite sure, but ice penetrating and non-penetrating radar observations over both places has revealed that as the ice mass decreases, the crust uplifts, very slowly.

This actually amplifies sea level rise, as you have both the melt water and the additional displaced volume from the uplifted land to account for.

As to pings and bongs, totally. A lateral movement in one place or expansion or uplift could all increase tension elsewhere, which would then be released as an earthquake. The most readily observed example of this is aftershocks, which are often hypocentred near but not at the original hypocentre.
Yeah, this. Like the specifications say that the table name is "Product" and they name it "Products". An error every now and then is acceptable, but multiple errors create chaos among the team, especially when it's related to the API.

It's equivalent to email, but more convenient if you only know the people through facebook. E.g. I admin a facebook group, so admins have a chat to discuss group-related things.

If I don't have notifications enabled it's because I don't want to be distracted. I check my phone often enough, I don't need to immediately stop what I'm doing to read a message.

Equally. When I send a message to someone, I don't want to distract them either. Of course there's no sophistication (e.g. busy mode, notify for messages flagged urgent only) because facebook wants people to drop whatever they're doing and use facebook instead.
I think it's more the public embarrassment and loss of face from the leak before their big press conference than actual damage to the company. Especially since they have "doubled down on secrecy".

Regardless, someone is super fired as a result of this.

Most countries don't have credit scores at all.

There's typically a single public entity that holds insolvency records within the legal framework. In some countries nobody can query it but yourself; you're therefore asked to submit a copy of your record in some occasions.

As for solvency, when you sign a lease or contract a mortgage, you're asked to submit proof of income.

(Someone mentioned Germany earlier, it's a terrible example in my opinion, Schufa isn't much different than the US credit agencies, albeit more accountable hopefully).
poll can't guarantee that the next read will succeed because first of all doesn't know how many pages you are interested in reading and any relevant page in the page cache might be evicted between the poll and the read.

Also having pread, which is designed for concurrency and scalability, carry state around for poll (an unbounded amount of state btw: you can have multiple threads issuing concurrent preads on the same fd) makes it completely pointless.

There are linux patches floating to add flags to preadv2 so that on a page not present it returns EAGAIN, so that you can optimistically do a sync read an fall back to a thread pool in the slow case. It still doesn't involve poll and friend.

Yeah, sure that kinda works but it won't play nice with having an event loop on network events. A typical high performance server has multiple worker threads waiting on events on a select/epoll and if you add in another thread (or several) waiting on io_getevent you end up in a rather contrived solution.

You could use a pipe or eventfd or some other fd-based mechanism to wake up a worker thread on a filesystem event, but then you get two context switches (one to wake up io_getevent thread and another to wake up a worker). This carries a lot of indirect costs from jumping back and forth to the kernel.

I am unaware of a solution that would make filesystem i/o and network i/o play nice in one event loop without adding some overhead.
I've been doing that for nearly 3 years. Part of the problem is that usually the client cares more about getting grants or ticking off some buzzword like "machine learning" or "uber for X". But things get better throughout the years as I learn which projects to avoid.

And it's totally normal in dynamic systems for even tiny buffers to have huge impacts on how the whole system behaves. It's sort of like saying having a network stream buffer is pointless because the complete transmission doesn't fit into the buffer at once. Say what? That just doesn't follow. And again, I really wouldn't take this guy at his word as to the numbers anyhow.
That depends on how the fetching and caching is implemented. If it's done when you open your email, the tracking would still work. If the trigger is unrelated to anything correlating with your opening of the email it wouldn't.

...that brings up the other elephant in the room: Unicode. More specifically, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IDN_homograph_attack

The 0/O/i/1/l/I distinction is a classic one that can be somewhat mitigated by good font choice (plaintext emails are often presented in monospace, so that helps a little), but some of the other sets of Unicode characters are designed to look identical to ones in the ASCII range, often using the exact same glyphs.

For those who use non-English characters exclusively, it is not possible to use ASCII only emails, but non-Unicode encodings are still helpful in this situation --- e.g. the Cyrillic characters most known for IDN homograph attacks aren't even encodable in 8859-1 or Shift-JIS.

> Anyone who thinks the simplified and unrealistic models "are still useful" does not understand just how bad these approaches are.

And other approaches are significantly more useful? They yield massively more predictive power? They are more tested and less theoretic? Are these other models comparable to say the difference between classical mechanics and Aristotle's view of physics, because that's what you seem to be implying.

The best approach would obviously be to test the economic theories under various system constraints instead of using a historical based approach where it is virtually impossible to control for any of the massive array of factors that influence any particular economic policy.

Most of us could care less whether Marxian, Keynesian, or Austrian Theory helps us build economic systems that maximize human flourishing and minimize suffering, but we really need to iteratively test/apply/evaluate the theories in a controlled environment if we want to make progress on a small enough time scale.

We have to make a distinction between opinions and facts. In economic journalism, including pieces written by academician economists, opinions seem to dominate the narrative. This doesn't mean that economists can't do science. They can and do science, it's just not generally accessible to the general public.
The argument as stated does not apply in all generality. For instance, you don't need a deep knowledge of numerology to criticize numerology.

That's a good argument. But how come that bread is not much more expensive in Germany compared to, say France, where electricity is much cheaper? I used to live very close to the French border and occasionally got my baguettes from there.
Wind turbines, solar panels, dams don't come for free and their capital cost ends up in consumers' bills anyway. Sure, on the long run we might achieve cheap or even free energy, but current tendency is rising of electricity prices in many regions, despite wider use of renewables, due to demand increasing even faster.
What Does It Cost to Create a Cancer Drug? Less Than Youd Think
I get the impression that although respectable economists are aware the real world is complicated, to get published and taken seriously they have to put maths and equations in their papers hence the spherical cows. But economic behaviour at the base is human behaviour and whether someone is going to overpay to flip a condo in Florida is fundamentally down to their thinking, not some equation. But the human stories get kind of ignored in favour of the maths.

It's a bit like why people still publish in Elsevier in spite of them being awful - it's because it's how you get on in your career. Similarly differential equations about spherical cows get you promoted.
We have plenty of energy supply in the system, we need to optimize our distribution.

We only use about 39% of the electricity we generate. I know that seems strange, but it's true.

Mal – Make a Lisp, in 68 languages
Not really. Computers have been used in economics for decades and tradeoffs between number of assumptions made and the tractability of their effects still exists if you have a machine doing the grunt work.

I mean, "rational expectations" is nothing to do with the relative simplicity of the mathematics (the models it largely replaced were worked out with pen and paper) and everything to do with the argument that economic models shouldn't rely on people making a particular type of systematic error to show a desired outcome (e.g. if policy changes required economic actors to ignore the implications of the policy change to work, they probably wouldn't actually work that well). Essentially it's the absence of an assumption about human behaviour, and there's entire classes of economic models devoted to saying "even if people on average anticipate the future and economies function perfectly smoothly, simply introducing X into the model means that you still get recessions and still get a benefit from a policy response to it", which is a more powerful argument than "if I've calibrated all these parameters and specified all these functions about all these hundreds of different types of agents' planning correctly, this policy will work", especially if you're trying to disprove arguments that the economy will sort itself out eventually.

That doesn't mean there isn't a place for complex computational models and even throwing data at ML algorithms to see what sticks, or that a general equilibrium model to predict actual changes in an economy isn't fairly unlikely yield accurate results over the long term, but they're performing an entirely different function from reasoning that X will [not] affect Y even if or only if all else is held constant or assumed to respond logically.

How can this be, when the plants take a decade to build and are often delayed? We could build several times as much wind power as Hinkley Point C, for half the cost, in the decade before it's actually built.

"But how come that bread is not much more expensive in Germany compared to, say France, where electricity is much cheaper?"

Because it's not the only factor. Many other factors might balance the price: labor cost, taxes, logistics etc. If electricity prices are as in France, maybe you would get even cheaper bread locally? I'm not trying to say that increase of prices would be dramatic, just wanted to point out that what you pay directly is not the end of it.

While I like this work, the title may be misleading to people who think of "privacy loss" as something distinct from "differential privacy".

What they show is that as you use Apple's implementation, the differential privacy parameter grows (providing weaker guarantees as time passes).

The money the sales person needs to live is probably the same as the engineer. Therefore, if sales people get commission, then their salary must be set lower than the engineer so that on average (that is, when the ratio between actual sales and missed sales is average), they earn the same thing as the engineer. (this in a context where the added value by the company is equally shared between the engineer and sales people)
