I meant that psychologists distinguish one more crisis, which caused by a dissonance between great plans for a life of ~20 years old person and his/her real results at ~30. At this crisis people tends to make radical changes in their life and this crisis may look like existential, but it isn't. It has its own name, but I can't find it (I can literally translate from Russian and get "achievement crisis", but I cannot find it in Wikipedia, and too lazy to search other sources).

So achievements are any objectives, which are significant for the person.

The problem with this crisis is a relativity of the "lack of achievements". Life can be pretty good, but nevertheless worse than expected ten years ago. To be successful in my own eyes I need to accept my real performance in the real world, to rewrite my plans accordingly, and it can be a painful experience.

I think that the better than the beatles bit might give way in this case. I'm no medic but I suspect that there are many antibiotic compounds that have failed early trials due to side effects that might be resurrected in a context where 10,000's of people a year die due to resistance. I think that the regulator might get much less cautious and the fact that the old drugs don't work may make things easier.

Also at the moment one issue is that the market for anti-resistant drugs is very small, and current antibiotics are rather cheap. So the spreadsheets show no business case, when this grows to millions of doses a year then at $1k a dose so $10k a course and over 20 years of patent life a $2bn investment starts to look ok.

State intervention should be used to shorten and cheapen that path so that we get less of the actual death without real need business up front. I read with dismay the FP9 preparation reports which stress cohesion as an objective of research funding and I look forward (grimly) to watching the waste of funds that could lead to life saving treatment that this policy will precipitate.
That’s apologism for a despicable practice. Hate the player and hate the game because we’re all getting played in systems where lobbying is legal. This is how politicians end up serving corporations instead of people.
Emails are just "bigger" entities, in the minds of people than chat messages. They are more massive to use, and for some communications something smaller, simpler is just a better fit.

The "bigness" of an email come from the most usual workflows in mail programs: to respond you have to go through 2-3 clicks first, you usually have to wait some small time for sending them, the contents are usually bigger, there are quotations automatically added, there are signatures, there are more buttons and fields and options in the window - the whole thing is just more massive.
The outcome is that coconut crabs are creepy as all get out.
In Germany, many people don’t need to file taxes, as they’re deducted anyways. But you can and it usually saves you some money. If you do though, it’s about as complex as in the states, the only difference being that there is only one form you’d need to fill and not 2-3 (federal, state, city)
I’m assuming your US taxes were more complicated than reporting W-2 income. My US taxes consist only of reporting one W-2 (or two when I change jobs), and don’t take more than 10 minutes. Most of that time is spent trying to figure out how and where to access the W-2 from my employer’s payroll provider.
'Film' is used at 24 frames every second in the theater, 112 feet every minute.
99% of movies are recorded at that speed.
2001 & Star-Wars space shots were filmed one frame per second, Star-Wars assembled all the things in the scene later.
2001 did not have computer motor control, so Kubrick did everything N times for each thing in the final scene, within the camera.
Planet; run by 10 times with 10 fresh rolls of film, then add stars with 9 of the SAME rolls, then foreground object (surface of Moon or hotel) 8 times, then spaceship 7 times, until all are recorded on the remaining single roll of film.
No-One can look at the result until the film is developed (souped) so the only way to test for success is to develop one roll with each new added thing. Any thing wrong and you do it 10 times all again......at one inch of film per second.
Thus is why the Star-Wars teaser on Christmas of 1976 had No space shots; the droids jumping ship was mica dust and were dropped from a forklift, the spinning Empire destroyer was a cut-out Polaroid taped to a plastic star field contraption.
When the Soviet Union was formed Russia was a pre-industrial feudal monarchy. It recapitulated roughly two hundred years of Western industrial development in less than fifty, mostly under the leadership of a murderous quasi-feudal dictator who purged all the brightest and most interesting people.

And it still survived WWII to become a competitive space-faring superpower.

I don’t particularly like Russia, but I think it’s wise not to underestimate what the country is capable of.

Also applies to China, even more so.

Yes, people who don’t follow the primary social narrative (which, funnily enough, revolves around being white, cis, heterosexual, male-and-dominant or female-and-submissive, and so on and so forth) have always been seen as a threat. For a small amount of time, a group consisting primarily of gay men with minimal demands (i.e. stop directly physically harming us and, later, change a couple of forms) were in a political position in the West such that they couldn’t be ignored.

No, the users aren't data controllers, the GDPR does not apply at all to any acts of natural persons in the course of purely personal activity, and GDPR does not apply any obligation to that user (other laws, however, may do that). It does, however, apply to the organization storing that photo - since the default case is that they're forbidden to do that, and as article 6 point 1 (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/) states, processing is lawful only if one of the listed conditions apply.

It does seem that interpretations handling user-generated content will be tricky, and likely would require additional legislation to clarify that, which is a common scenario for such laws.

Typically I see about 2 SIMD instruction throughput per cycle per core on Intel CPUs. SIMD execution units are not shared between cores in any way.

Because they are unable to multiply on their own.

A weird bacteria or nanomachine might convert everything to other weird bacteria or nanomachines. A weird virus can only convert all cells to weird viruses, since it needs cells to multiply. A weird prion can only convert other prions to their form, which is even more limited. Both of the latter scenarios can be very dangerous, up to an extinction event, but they're different from gray goo.
A seed transported by bird is more likely in my (pretty uninformed) opinion than a tuber. As a relative of the bindweed it produces a small fruit that is eaten by birds.
No, I'm arguing that the concepts of unresponsive elites, and a shadowy deep state, are distinct. The latter is a lot rarer (and, frankly, a lot more sinister) than the former.

The idea that the actions of the state don't correlate with the desires of the people is more-or-less deliberate in a representative (rather than direct) democracy, incidentally. As a political scientist I find it rather offensive that the word 'democracy' has been repurposed to mean a kind of replaceable oligarchy rather than government-by-the-people, but that ship sailed decades ago.

Thanks to computing, companies are getting more and more centralized into fewer hands. Automatisation introduces new challenges as well.
There are a couple of things that make me sad about this article, and I’m on the run so I’ll only make a few points.

One is the implied greed of the reader: „They [thank-you notes] improve the frequency and quality of the gifts you receive.” As if expressing gratitude was intended to yield gifts! Maybe for someone, but that’s far from my reasons to say thank you.

Also, the formula that is guaranteed to „never fail” makes a number of hidden assumptions, e.g., that the gift is meant to be used (point 3). What if I live far from sea and get a stone from the ocean from my friend who’s just returned from there? What I’d like to say is: „Dear John, thank you for the stone. I like to think that you had thought of me as you picked it up. When I look at it, I think of you and how important part of my life you are. Thanks for being it.”

There are better formulas. Ones that work for me revolve around non-violent communication: read up Marshall Rosenberg or „The Power of Gratitude” by Liv Larsson for details.
You'll probably enjoy this video with Richard Feynman about how different people think differently even for something as basic as counting.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cj4y0EUlU-Y
Writing thank-you notes fills me with such an intense dread and self-loathing that I've generally tried to avoid occasions on which others would give me gifts. One tip I recently discovered, aside from having my wife dictate the text of the note to me, is to actually make 6ish-second thank-you videos. It is a lot easier (for me at least) just press record, enthusiastically say what is in fact a short message, and send it with a speed that prohibits you from getting caught in some weird spiral of thought.

I probably miss something here, but why are American citizens kicked off from their land for a Chinese firm on American soil? Is this how you make your country great again? By selling yourself to the highest bidder?

In the country I live in the ruling party is actively destroying high level education so that we may give even cheaper work force in the future to the foreign (mostly Chinese) companies (along with huge tax cuts) - we also have a program where we decrease unemployment by forced governmental employment (for something much much lower than the minimum wage), but the system is abused in a way that people are fired and then taken back to their original workplace for the lowest possible wage.

And my friends don't understand why I feel totally disgusted by politics and why I think politicians are worse than criminals.
How Data Commons Are Changing Way We Share Research	Data and Make Discoveries [pdf]
Depends on the range of Android versions you support and what your app does. I'm not an Android dev but I'm fairly certain if you all you want to do is display some text it'll probably work fine across most versions of Android. If you are using some bleeding edge API you may have some issues.

The "lets just release it" strategy isn't terrible. It's a trade off between your dev time of finding bugs pre-release and having users find them and what the impact is. If you take money you should make sure that process work on any version of your app that supports it. If the payment screen has some weird visual bug but functionally it works fine then it's probably okay for users to find.

Cover your core cases on all versions you support, things outside of that can probably be passed on to users safely.

I don’t think lobbying per se is a problem. I have friends who have successfully lobbied in the the U.K. to get bills introduced to curb climate change. I support the Alltrials people, lobbying to ensure that the results from all medical trials are published whether ‘successful’ or not.

Groups of people or interest groups should be allowed to bring their case to legislators to try to convince them.

It’s when the convincing them comes in the form of personally enriching the legislators that it turns into bribery and the problems occur.

It’s economic cause and effect. The economy is optimised as a wealth capture machine for the proverbial 1%, not as a goods, services, and opportunity machine for the 99% - all while being sold to the 99% as the exact thing it isn’t.

A truly entrepreneurial economy optimised to allow those with limited social and economic capital the opportunity to start and run successful businesses would look very different. It might even make articles like this one unnecessary.
if you push your design to the limits of scalability, then you gonna hit a wall at some point (IO, memory or CPU) and as long as your application is not based on CPU intensive calculations (simulations, calculus, ...) most of the time IO is the bottleneck, network or disk.

However, I am not that experienced in distributed applications and would appreciate reading the opinions from more experienced engineers.

This is true for employees without additional income on the side. If you have this, you are obligated to file and have a tighter deadline.

Also, the set of forms is a monster. There is a simple-looking main form with four pages, but you usually need two or three of the appendix forms as well (there are ~10 different appendices, some of which can be required multiple times). This still hides the true complexity of German tax law. Almost every field in every form has a stupidly long list of rules and exceptions attached.

Even as a single and empolyee, I need to fill out a few appendices (or rather my tax advisor does) plus a big set of of copies of proofs for the data in the forms (usually between 20 and 40 pages).

The right to bear arms alone isn't sufficient to maintain the right of private property, since it means that anyone who's weaker than the locally strongest group of armed men de facto doesn't have any rights at all.

I can't possibly imagine how the right to bear arms could prevent Foxconn from taking their land, as Foxconn could definitely afford to violently remove anyone resisting, no matter how much arms they could realistically have; and it would be the cost-efficient (and thus preferrable) way to solve this issue - e.g. as an alternative of offering $50000/acre for 420 acres, you can hire a lot of mercenaries with heavy hardware for half that amount and simply take the land for free.
I am baffled why anyone would ever use TurboTax. It's full of these dark UI patterns and tricks and comparable products exist for a very small fraction of the price.

> No, I'm arguing that the concepts of unresponsive elites, and a shadowy deep state, are distinct.

They are distinct but not disjoint; the “deep state” concept is a specific form of unresponsive elite.

> The idea that the actions of the state don't correlate with the desires of the people is more-or-less deliberate in a representative (rather than direct) democracy

No, it's not, in general; the purpose of representative democracy is to allow the actions of the state to give effect to the desires of the people, on the premise that even most people with the requisite ability to effectively decide how to give effect to their desires aren't optimally employed spending all their time figuring out how the state should do that.

It's true that the US federal model of an unusually large number of barriers and unusually undemocratic selection and allocation of representation is designed to prevent government from representing the desire of the people, but the US system isn't the Platonic ideal of representative democracy.

Ugh. A colleague was struggling with a webpack set up. He was waiting like 30 minutes to rebuild a CSS change.
Meanwhile, I'm using Sass on 2 projects, with around 100ms build times inc. live reload. Clearly there's reason for the disparity.

So we looked and it turns out the webpack fast-sass-loader was around 3000% slower than just sass-loader. It now takes 3 seconds to build CSS changes. That to me is still too high for CSS but it's an improvement.

There seems to be a heavy overhead with webpack in terms of both configuration and actual performance. We may have configured it wrong or maybe fast-sass-loader just isn't as advertised.

Between that and package.json containing a makefile on top of dependencies, it's all a bit nuts.
As a die-hard Emacs user, I think that org-mode with it's org-babel capabilities blows Jupyter out of the water, and it produces much better, readable output. You can use it with pretty much any language, and combine several languages in a single document without any issues. Besides all this, it's just a plain text format, and you can extract all the code into proper source files for later offline use, too ('tangling', in literate programming parlance). Jupyter uses a rather obtuse json format which is not practical to work on directly.

Of course, it's not web-based and it requires some basic knowledge of Emacs, but functionality-wise is so much better that it ends up being frustrating to use Jupyter when collaborating with other people. There are some workarounds (EIN, and ob-ipython modes help, but it's not quite the same)
The law of gravity is not one example.

Moore's law does not pick up on any causal pattern that connects transistor size to time.

The universal law of gravitation does capture a causal pattern that connects masses to other masses.

Whether we "know" what causes gravity or otherwise is irrelevant.
