Ok, that actually makes sense. If they are truly independent, they will be unrelated. However since P+Q=LeadershipScore, and all LeadershipScore are about the same, then a high P indicates a Low Q. The connection between the two only exists because of that third piece of information, LeadershipScore, being held constant. The only part I disagree with is that LeadershipScore will be roughly the same in reality, I think a quick glance at the world's leaders shows some are clearly better in most ways than others.
I found a Whole Foods out of corn on the cob. Corn stores just fine, so that's quite unusual. But Safeway was out, too. Strange, because the US has a corn glut.

The thin-inventory thing is getting excessive. The local CVS has been out of distilled water twice, and only had one pack of small paper cups. All those things have a very long shelf life; there's no need to maintain tight stock control.

The whole subthread kind of looks like you're disagreeing with the idea that theft is theft.

So we agree on that. My point is that it's not either-or - effective crime prevention doesn't make a crime not a crime.

Most compilers have directives for packing structs. What the OP suggests is something that can be done for high performance, but don't expect it to be portable outside of common architectures and compilers. I'd consider it something that shouldn't be done unless you really need the simplicity or performance.
There are a few things that happen every New Year that combine to contribute to shortages:

- Distributors have changed delivery schedules to work around New Year's Eve and Day.

- There's a large increase in demand for produce and some other ingredients (resolutions)

- Employees at the store and regional level take a few more vacations than usual, since we aren't able to during much of the holiday season. People also tend to plan the hell out of ordering for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but relax too much by New Year's since they figure crunch time is over. This is made worse by the relatively short tenures of most store buyers, since they either move up or quit relatively quickly.

So I would say there probably was a nationwide spike in out-of-stocks spread out over a few days. But it isn't really because of OTS.

So when I hear Jordan Peterson say he's being oppressed by the evil forces of Marxist postmodernism for being asked to use preferred pronouns...

But you've never heard that. You've only heard him reject being coerced to do that. He's even on the record as saying he's fine with addressing people as they'd like to be addressed, so long as it's all done civilly. What you're doing is projecting a caricatured position onto him.

For my own part, a lot of my frustration is the loud and sincerely meant (if wrongheaded) declarations of victimhood by the privileged, simply for being asked to be nice to others.

A law that empowers kangaroo courts isn't "simply asking nice." A law that empowers those courts to use an unscientific "unconscious bias" test that claims to get into your head isn't "simply asking nice." A law that can result in dismissal from your job isn't "simply asking nice."

I hear a comfortable, privileged person complaining about how he's a victim.

He doesn't claim he's a victim. What he claims is that the law is a potential abridgement of freedom. You could make a claim that Lindsey Shepherd claims to be a "victim" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpFUvfAvKs4 -- but then you'd be presenting evidence that Dr. Peterson's assertions about the law are correct.

And when he doubles down and says people shouldn't get to choose their own pronouns, their own identity, and instead society should choose for them? Then he's a hypocrite. And an asshole.

A coworker at my work announced her transition, and everyone just started using the feminine pronoun. Everyone was civil about it, and everything was fine. (And I am certain that she was happier and a more vibrant and complete person for making the change.) Again, you are misrepresenting his position. More accurately, a person exists within society (and hopefully a community) and identity is something which is effectively negotiated between the person and society. It's the parties who are being emotionally dishonest, playing games with emotional blackmail, and being crappy people who are "being assholes." From where I'm sitting, it's a lot of emotionally imbalanced trans "activists" who fit that description. Jordan Peterson gets mail from trans people, the majority of whom are supporters or sympathetic to him. Their collective position is that they just want to not be singled out and live their lives in peace.
That state is a local minimum; “zero sales” is a sufficient but not necessary condition, taken with “zero inventory,” which is necessary but not sufficient.

Bestseller lists are an even less reliable way of measuring talent than the Nobel Prize. There have been numerous articles about how flawed and subject to manipulation the NYT Bestseller List is, for instance.[1][2][3][4]

Calling a 19-year-old a "child" is really stretching the definition of a "child", in my view. Compare that to chess and music prodigies, for instance, who are already performing at levels above those of most adults even before their teens.[5][6]

Using the x86-64 C struct layout as the serialization format is increasingly common in financial trading protocols. Skipping all the bit twiddling has a huge performance impact at high message rates. I once compared two feeds covering the same basic data, where the major difference was one had a complicated serialization and one was C struct layout. The former needed two 16 core servers just to process I/O and deserialize the messages; the latter used 1 core on a single server.

This is incorrect in many cases. The relative importance of innate potential vs focused practice differs wildly based on the activity. Certain activities (powerlifting, sprinting, competitive programming, singing) depend very heavily on genetic abilities such as IQ, muscular strength, etc. Other activities (assembling wooden ships and putting them in bottles, sailing, choreographed dances, becoming an expert on world history) depend more on improving muscle memory or on learning specific skills/strategies/techniques that don't simply appear without practice.

Most skills are somewhere between the two extremes. If success relative to your peers is the goal, the former type of skill should only be pursued by those with some degree of pre-existing talent, whereas the latter type of skill provides opportunities for talentless but hard-working individuals to outshine their lazier peers.

The erstwhile socialist considers himself a classic British liberal, and he has castigated the far right for engaging in the "pathology of racial pride."
Been thinking for a while how such a measure would be defined, but my measure theory abilities are a bit rusty (heck, unused for 10 years already, time flies). I'd bet it's impossible (in \mbb{R})... and sadly I'll now keep thinking about it until I remember how to prove for sure it or fall asleep, thanks :D

There is a qualitative difference between having your staff communicate with each over Slack, and having your staff communicate with each other over email or local chat within the firewall.

For one thing, if you run applications on servers you own, you and only you will get the subpoena for that information. You and only you will know if that information is breached or exfiltrated. Under 3rd party doctrine, Slack does not need your permission to provide your data to law enforcement, nor are they under any obligation to tell you that they did.

And while I haven't read the Slack legal agreement for a while, I would be surprised if there is an ironclad SLA around their duty to notify you if they are breached, or to provide all details about who got what when.

The alternative to Slack is not always Gmail and Gchat, in every institution. Running licensed applications on owned hardware is still a thing that many organizations do for the reasons I list above, and others including document retention policies.

And yes, employees with mobile devices can certainly be encouraged to chat over WhatsApp, iMessage, or even Signal instead of Slack. Or at least they can be empowered with an understanding of why they might want to put certain sensitive information there instead of in Slack.

Look at it this way, what's the common case that a FreeBSD install could fall victim to this? Are people commonly running untrusted binaries on those desktops or servers? Is FreeBSD used for a large amount of shared hosting platforms (larger than Linode/Digital Ocean)?

Of those cases where it is more susceptible, what percentage of the overall likely susceptible hosts does that account for? Do you think it's even 0.1%? Even 0.01%?

If that's the case, and I was Google, I'd be just as likely to notify FreeBSD about this when attempting an embargo as some random MS vulnerability.

It's also directly contrary to the central theme of Marxism, which makes the association of these particular postmodernist viewpoints with Marxism bizarre.

And yet, activists who claim to be Marxist seem to be very well aligned with others who claim postmodernist derived ideologies.

I've been toying with the idea of a computation-backed currency. Any computer can obviously pay another computer in computer time. This means that any node in the system can issue currency backed by computer time. This would require trust, but it would be trust between neighbors rather than trust in one central exchange.

The problem is that that's not really a currency. It's zillions of IOUs. I don't know how to make transactions between two nodes that don't trust each other or how to come up with one number for someone's net worth.
I've had good luck with Amazon personally, but I do avoid entire categories of stuff (anything with an Apple logo, to start with) and largely stick to single-seller things anyway by the nature of what I buy there.

If they did start sending me junk I'd return it, and complain loudly. So far I've only had to engage their customer service about a few delivery-related screwups, but they've been extremely helpful for that stuff, so I'm curious what their threshold is for actually addressing stuff like this.

Is one answer psychedelic substances? At a high level it seems consistent with the article conjecture. I haven’t checked research recently, but there sure are some compelling anecdotes.

It’s interesting to me some (based on comments here and elsewhere) many would be opposed to personal experiments under professional medical care.

Even for a very skeptical person (as I would self identify), consider the countless profound experiences recounted, even by people who might be considered equally skeptical.

Either these experiences are valid, with respect to enabling some sort of beneficial expansion of brain activity, or they are not.

If it is valid, how could such a rare and potentially transformative opportunity be ignored? If it’s not valid, risks seem negligible under professional supervision, and you still might experience a once in a lifetime fantastic journey.

It’s so easy for us to grok what, say a blind from birth person can’t experience through words alone, yet somehow difficult to imagine ourselves having a similarly untapped perspective, through which difficult to imagine insights might be possible.

Hopefully it won’t take too many years for the data to yield an answer. Maybe Steve Jobs and others chose not to wait based on similar cost/benefit analysis.

> I keep getting hung up by the fact that a whole lot of Peterson's followers are fascists and racists.

Well, given that Peterson has repeatedly pissed them off by saying that ethnic nationalism is an idiotic ideology (I'm paraphrasing), I'm not sure how many of those followers he now has left.

He definitely has a very vocal cult-like following among a certain type of young adult. While they can be annoying, they're not typically the fascist/racist type. Far from it.
I mean, they could go back to the provider of the clinical information with a unique ID and request follow-up. But people are still a) busy (clinical data may come from a hospital that has little interest in research; researchers want to publish and move on); b) extremely scared of making mistakes (to the point of delusion: wanting data/results to never change, even if its an improvement - because that implies there was something wrong in the past). Getting follow-up clinical data may also be out of scope of existing agreements.
They'll still have to allow for pedestrians and bikes, for the foreseeable future.
Similar results with codescreen.io. Originally I was charging $50/screen which is exactly what I was given per phone screen.

Since VRchat lets users create arbitrary avatars its only a matter of time before somebody creates a flickering avatar (like the Pokemon cartoon episode that caused hundreds of seizures when broadcast in Japan) specifically designed to cause seizures. With VRChat one could get very close to people essentially filling their VR headset's display with their avatar, focused directly into the victim's eyes by the VR's optics. Kind of scary-- the promise and the peril of user-created content. Some trolls notoriously did this by embedding Flash into an online forum for epileptics.

I wonder if it might be revealed if/when VR gets a wider adoption that VR's unique photic environment might cause the triggering unique types of epilepsy.
