As a former chemist, call me suspicious of these findings.

Can cleaners be an irritant to the lungs? Of course. Inhaling a lot of things can be an irritant.

Most cleaners that consumers use are surfactants sometimes mixed with alkylbenzonium disinfectants (in very low concentration). Even cleaners that are ammonia based aren't harmful.

Now on the professional side, I could believe there is risk. Some of those chemicals are very harsh.

Thanks for the link. I was in Puerto Rico when Maria passed and having a ham radio would have made things so much better. I felt a really deep remorse for never taking the exam. I'll study and get certified now.

> Why not? What makes you think currently-established science measures true "intelligence" and not just whatever phenomenon the test is measuring? To use heliocentrism as an example, how can you possibly know whether our current understanding is accurate or just the next heliocentrism (that we haven't disproven yet)?

Essentially: predictive power. The reason heliocentricism became the standard model was because it predicted the movements of planets better than the geocentric model.

It's the same with IQ tests. They predict the success of individuals in many different fields. It's a predictor of income, academic achievement, and social status.

What I'm not saying is that IQ tests are perfect, they are not. As you say, there are language issues. But even with those issues, IQ can explain something like 25% of the variance in grades and 16% of the variance in income. It's also telling that more rigorous fields of study (math, physics, medicine) also correlated with higher IQs.

I'll close with the fact that IQ is not everything. It's only a measure of how quickly you'll pick up on something. It also has no impact on a person's mental health or general interests. A lazy person with a high IQ will probably not get very far in the world, neither will one that suffers from crippling depression or anxiety.
Some people will. Some people will do any damn thing. The real question is how many and will it be a significant enough portion to matter. My guess is no.
That's got nothing to do with making "frozen" the default. They give me a pin when I prove I am the person they have information on. This process does not change if the current status of my credit is frozen or unfrozen.

I have no idea why job descriptions look the way they do today, but I've devoted the last ~9 months of my life encouraging companies, specifically engineering teams, to provide more information up front about who they are and what it's actually like to work there. Candidates want to know so much more than just salary and tech stack.

https://www.keyvalues.com

Candidates want to know about as much as possible before investing hours/days/weeks interviewing at a company. Who wants to waste all that time trying to get an offer from a company they don't even want to work at?!

Here are things candidates might want to know about:

- office layout

- on call schedule

- lunch traditions

- support for personal development

- organization/structure (ie. pods vs. teams)

- engagement with the greater community

- participation in meetups/conferences/hackathons

- ability to move between teams and change projects

- culture of promotion (external or from w/in?)

- hiring goals for the next 6, 12 months

- composition of team (X frontend, Y backend, Z data, etc)

- interview process

- employee retention

- diversity goals and metrics

- flexibility of working arrangements

- frequency and duration of meetings

- opportunities to mentor interns or junior devs

- code reviews

- post mortems

- tooling (ie. for revision control)

- how often do people pair?

- channels to provide feedback to executives

- contributions to open source

- average age?

- support/benefits for parents

- "busy times" or "peak seasons" for the company

- runway

- hobbies/interests of current team members aka future coworkers

- level/amount of interaction between me and users/customers

- ability to work remotely

- support for IC vs. management tracks

- amount of collaboration between departments

- is this job available because they're fortifying existing teams or spinning up new ones?

- general, day-to-day working hours

The list goes on and on.

I also wrote tons of questions for candidates to ask during their job interviews to get information about all of the above: https://www.keyvalues.com/culture-queries

Anything short of holding credit agencies, banks, and anyone who improperly leaks data or acts on false data liable for their actions is an improper solution here. Why should I have to freeze my credit, when it's the bank or credit agency's fault that someone opened a fraudulent account and it should be them and only them that pay to fix this up? This bill is a joke and only serves to reinforce the notion that it's the consumers' fault that banks act on fraudulent information.

It's not the consumer's fault that banks themselves commit fraud, so why do the consumers then have to pay for the consequences? With shit laws like this on the books, it's hard to get angry at people who rob banks: they're doing what our legislators failed to do for them. I don't even see that as immoral anymore, especially compared to current law that protects the thieves and banks and throw the consumer under the bus.
According to standard, (unsigned int)(-1) is undefined behavior (as is signed overflow) because the machine can use some other representation of signed integers than twos-complement. On the other hand you will probably never find non-twos-complement architecture in any vaguely production use today.
My experience: there's a quandary if you avoid face-to-face conversation because your listening comprehension skills aren't very good, because you need conversation and interaction to improve them. In conversation you can read body language and ask for clarity/to slow down/explain things differently. The pressure, heat of the moment etc forces you to really pay attention. It's easy to fall in to a passive listening trap watching movies, listening to songs, etc.

It's a real shame how HTML completely screwed up the "markup" part by not offering a separate API for UI chrome. If Netscape had offered some way to define navigation separately from the textual content, it might still have saved us.

Well, ice-nine does have a relationship to water specifically. For whatever reason, TV Tropes doesn't currently consider it an instance of the Phlebotinum trope (any substance or phenomenon which is essentially an entirely unexplained but powerful plot device).

Maybe that's an unintentional omission from the wiki, but it could be that the somewhat elaborated hard SF backstory of ice-nine means that it's not just considered "plot fuel".

Nope, casting signed to unsigned is well-defined. The C standard requires it to act like two’s complement regardless of what the machine actually uses:

> Otherwise, if the new type is unsigned, the value is converted by repeatedly adding or subtracting one more than the maximum value that can be represented in the new type until the value is in the range of the new type.

Yes, it really, really, really is. People all over the world commit suicide over working conditions. Foxconn did not have a significantly higher rate of suicide than the general population. People all over the world lie about their age (Foxconn is not recruiting 14 year olds to work for them) in order to work. And lots of places have drunken fights.

Not a single one of those, or even all of them put together, is anywhere near the video posted.

Compilers rarely have any idea how large your stack space is. Quite often it's determined at runtime in various ways, especially in multithreaded environments.

(There are some surprising exceptions such as PIC hardware stacks where you might be allowed exactly 8 call frames, and your whole program's call stack must be a DAG with no recursion)
I don't think anyone is opposed to having a high-speed rail line. What people are opposed to is the insane cost, the schedule delays, and the poor output. If you compared this to high speed rail in Japan or China - it would come out looking horrible for California on every meaningful metric.

Regarding your point about Rome - I'm not an expert, but I'd bet the aqueducts provide a valuable service. What are your estimates for how many passengers would need to ride the rail in order to make it worthwhile, and your estimates for how long it would take to serve that many passengers?

Think about the huge amounts of money and the value of the rail (delayed by when you could get that value) and then compare that to other ways you could use that money - for example by leaving it in the hands of the taxpayers.
I wonder if that could be resolved by the government offering an annual bonus for every road that requires no pothole maintenance. If the bonus were bigger than the profit they'd make from filling in the pothole, it would be free money for the contractor + a savings for the government because they don't have to pay to fix something that isn't broken.

Mostly, I wonder how different the world would be if there was an incentive to build things that don't break.

usually when this question is asked, its asked in such a way that is kind of tautological. in other words, it presupposes that the great things that bach developed and invented are the most important things, then says, "hey look, heres the guy who did these things the best!"

i say this as someone who grew up worshipping bach. its not that he isnt every bit as good as everyone says he is. its just that he does not have a monopoly on "composition" or "music", and you would be well served to remember that!

The comparison to Redis is in the 4th paragraph of the linked article. "The paper includes numbers showing it beating Redis by over 10x on a single AWS instance"

I'm sorry I didn't go read the original paper, but I thought reading the article qualified me to comment. Sorry dad.

I think you also misunderstood my point about Lua. Embedded Lua in Redis is so powerful BECAUSE it is single threaded, not because it is just snazzy to have an embedded language. That with the primitives Redis provides allows you to build your own domain specific data structures with their own custom semantics that just aren't possible in other systems without rolling your own. And you can do it simply.

That Anna is faster is great, but it comes with its own set of constraints, I don't think I would be wrong in saying that includes you not having exclusive access to the data while you are in an embedded script running on the store.
But is that a greater benefit than the effects of not taxing away all that money from folks who’d prefer to spend or invest it differently? Those effects are difficult to appreciate because they’re so diffuse but could easily outweigh the more tangible benefits of what’s otherwise a boondoggle.
> a treaty or similar agreement exists (of which I am not aware).

If you're interested you can take a look at the "five United Nations treaties on outer space" which are the basis of international space law: http://www.unoosa.org/oosa/en/ourwork/spacelaw/treaties.html

Specifically, under the terms of the Space Liability Convention, a state which launches an object into space is liable for damages caused by that object. A practical example was the crash of Kosmos 954 over northern Canada: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosmos_954

A careful analysis of Beethoven's later works shows him to be a worthy contender.

In particular, the Große Fugue [0] and the Op. 106 Hammerklavier sonata [1] (ironically so nicknamed, because at Op. 101, Beethoven directed that all sonatas from that time on be named Große Sonate für das Hammerklavier, and the nickname only stuck to this) show a profoundly advanced sense of counterpoint and structure. In addition to applying all of the classical transformations to motifs (including augmentation, diminution, cancrizans, canons and sequences), he even performs note for note reversals in time. (A temporal cancrizan, if you will.) [Edit: it would be a crime to fail to mention the late string quartets, which show prescience of modernism and are considered to be the pinnacle of chamber music. Many of you will at least be familiar with the Op. 131 c# minor quartet, which Wagner called the "saddest music ever penned" and whose 6th movement was used in the Band of Brothers episode "Why We Fight".]

Similarly, Brahms' masterful applications of form and counterpoint put most other composers to shame. Rather than be as enormously prolific as Bach, the quality of his output is more consistently excellent. (No doubt partially due to his penchant for burning the manuscripts which he felt were subpar.)

I think it's a little unfair to put Bach on this pedestal. There's plenty of music by any composer mentioned to relax to or feel stimulated by. Additionally, Bach's musical temperaments are somewhat limited by his media and styles. He is the master of his craft, but his craft has limited scope.

Yes, Bach has his own, unique, immovable place. But Beethoven, Brahms, and many other composers have immutable, unchallenged championships in their own arenas.

I'm in the middle of trying to move a very simple ETL-light script to Google (want to use bigquery over redshift). The idea was to use Cloud Functions.

I have ran into scale problems very fast at Google and now am having to use App Engine and add more complication which I don't have personal engineering skill/capacity.

Google support first bumped me up to 12000 max queries per 100 seconds and said that's the limit, but that's not close to enough. We have super bursty traffic (webhooks that aren't concatenated from source).

Google then increased to 100,000 per 100 seconds after they claimed 12k was maximum.

It's still not enough and I think their sampling might be funky because when I look at the invocation/traffic graphs it doesn't align with the stated maximum (still throws quota errors).

Kind of frustrating. The idea of stateless functions without worrying about engineering is a dream! I don't get why Google can't get 'google scale' here. In the past we've used Snowplow on AWS when we had engineering help but that's a huge amount of work/engineering time. The actual accept POST, store to cloud storage, insert to DB is less than 100 rows.

Response time is also pretty bad in the extreme cases. Even though I end the response before processing data I still see 95%/99% spikes when bursting on the far less bursty data source (as in only bursting to 10/second). Just today for this function I got 3764ms 99%!

For anyone interested, "Originating Communications Satellite Systems: The Interactions of Technological Change, Domestic Politics, and Foreign Policy" (https://history.nasa.gov/SP-4217/ch13.htm) is an interesting (?) read on the early history communications satellite regulations. (I'm absolutely refusing to dig through the ITU's documents on the subject.)

Another interesting read is Regulation and Licensing of Low-Earth-Orbit
Satellites (https://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?artic...), particularly sections 1 and 2.

The bottom line is that international agreements through the ITU are responsible for frequency allocation (and presumably not damaging other people's stuff?) with the FCC being the pointy-end of the ITU and those treaties in the US. The FCC's authority in the area comes from the Communications Satellite Act of 1962 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Satellite_Act_o...), which has probably been modified beyond recognizability.

If you're starting play at age 30, sure, there's not likely to be very many players who make the 2200 threshold. That would be interesting to crawl through the USCF database to check, though without birth years there'd be a good amount of manual checking. Your original question was however, who started at age 25 and made GM.

My own bias was as a competitive junior, who had several of my peers reach 2000-2100 before they were in high school (some as early as age 10). Several of these kids had languished for a few years with mediocre progress, before taking on serious study habits and effective coaching. Almost to a person, they stopped playing in high school because of academic/athletic/college time demands.

Again, maybe there's some biological/scientific reason why people late to the game of chess cannot perform the pattern recall that is central to chess. But, I'm still inclined to think that the demands of "real life" are a key reason why players starting at an older age are unlikely to reach master strength. Yes, there are many adults who devote time to the game. But, how many are able to devote the same amount of time and energy that a schoolkid is?

That seems obvious? To compete, you have to "run" (perform whatever activity you compete in) "together" (same activity, same time) with the other guy? Most literal example is a (running) race, which is a competition, literally featuring people running together.
