the money quote was this:
"We rely on national retailers and their high debt / low equity business models for almost everything we buy. This should create a sense of urgency for us and an obsession with becoming more resilient."

We need the biz owners to have skin in the game, and benefit from growth, not from strip-mining the wealth from an over-financialized model.
What should be legalized is 'use' ...anyone should be allowed to inbibe any substance and not be jailed for it...whether it's drugs, arsenic, or tide pods. Stupidity shouldn't be outlawed.

Sellers of 'banned' substances -- drug dealers this segment should be the only one prosecuted and jailed.. others should be recommended to rehab if they can afford it (or medicare for all passes - then it's null whether they can afford or not), and if they choose to go. If they don't then they can hurt/maim/kill themselves all they want.

Of course anyone committing other crimes as a result should still be jailed - like drunk driving...etc..

It's a mental health, not a criminal issue. Once we ruin lives via criminal justice system though they're almost guaranteed to remain addicts for life...

Just build structures with it, cover with tile or metal to keep the water off, and it will last thousands of years. See Nara, Japan for examples.

While this is focused on hardware and physical access, it would seem that it's the same for software. You don't know if someone has control over it remotely, through any number of means (browser, downloaded software, installed professional software with backdoors, software with unreleased vulnerabilities, etc.). Even airgapped machines can be compromised (Stuxnet, TEMPEST).

Even if you built all the binaries from scratch from the official repos, you'd still be at risk of security bugs like heartbleed, or a compromised compiler.

In the end, I think security is always a numbers game. Someone can always get to your protected resources, it's just a matter of how much the attacker wants it.

It's easier to attack a resource than defend it.

No tests makes it impossible to add it to real world projects IMO
It's definitely possible! Cost of groceries in the outer boroughs will be cheaper, but I'll use Manhattan prices. Shopping at Trader Joes + Chinatown will significantly lower costs. Fairway isn't terrible, but if you're shopping at the local market, it's super expensive. Whole Foods is insanely priced.

Breakfast will be your cheapest meal, eggs $3/dozen. Yogurt 99c each or get a larger container to save more money. Oatmeal, bananas. Bacon will be pricey, but let's splurge $6. Avocado, toast is relatively cheap.

Lunch, chicken breast, thighs whatever. You can get them for $5-6/lb and even less at Chinatown. That'll go for lunch/dinner. Toss in salad, rice, etc. Canned veggies like chickpeas and beans are just a buck each at Whole Foods. Ground beef is pretty cheap. Veggies like kale, broccoli are a bit more expensive, but again, only a few bucks and you can use it for multiple meals.

Grocery might cost more, but definitely possible to churn out meals at $3 price points. Of course there's the upfront cost of having basic things like salt, pepper, oil, spices, butter, etc.
Lots of good advice. One more... Since you are now the sole remaining founder, take care of your stamina and mental health. If you still have the majority of the equity, you can give some away for top talent.

This is a totally false history. The Reagan administration "granted more import relief to U.S. industry than any of his predecessors in more than half a century" (Secretary of the Treasury James Baker), with non-tarrif barriers (NTBs) that were "three times those of other leading countries."[1][2]

In that case we should adopt a more cavalier attitude toward nuclear weapons. If we allow at least one nuclear exchange between two nations we could help offset the effects of global warming for a good while longer.
The boat had a collision avoidance radar which had been non-functional for over a year because Exxon wouldn't spend the money to maintain it.
To be fair, though, there is a world of difference between business school and medical school. The latter is a combination of academically rigorous coursework where grades matter and de-facto apprenticeship in actual hospital environments, usually culminating in a specialization with additional training. If business school was at that same level, it would deserve a lot more respect.

So: Your user data is on the HDD and encrypted AND you use a removable disc to boot your machine AND you have a "something you know" (password)

That looks quite secure to me, provided you look after your removable disc and password. I'm not familiar with IBM gear - is ExpressCard a removable disc? I tried to read the WP page on it but got confused.

I'm not sure if this comment was supposed to be aimed at me because I explicitly say that enforcement doesn't work and I'm for legalization but I'll at least respond to the first paragraph. Legalization might lessen but will not stop the "drug use and abuse" and I think that if we agree on that we actually are on the same page as far as I can tell.

I think protectionism is the wrong word. It’s really looking for a free market.

The owners of big box development put 5% or less down on the property, and the sustainability of the property is mostly based on arcane tax and accounting rules. That’s why these developments rise and fall so quickly — after 15 years, the write offs for interest payments and depreciation are less valuable.

Additionally, in most cases the locality eats significant capital costs and indirect costs from storm water management, to water and sewer, to roads and traffic signals. Larger infrastructure costs like highway ramps, etc are paid for by the Federal government. There’s a vicious cycle as the big box development gets less valuable (and tends to fail) just in time for the maintence expenses associated with the infrastructure to start spiking.

That development model only works for large enterprises. Your small retail chain has to tie down real capital to lease or build, and has to pay higher taxes because they need the clustering effect of a business district to function. But they don’t get the subsidies — Congress isn’t building an access road to a small company parking lot.
You can also spend all the money and give these investors a good lesson - you will be doing them a favor.
Also becoming curious in quantum computing again (the current wave in classical software development is depressing IMHO so looking for an alternative for the futre). I read a good portion of Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists as an undergrad studying physics for a paper, but in searching for new texts, most people point to Nielsen and Chuang yet comment it is dated. Any good literature reviews out there to consider to get the new content Nielsen and Chuang don't have (while studying the Chuang's book as well)?

My wife was a finance director for a municipal water utility. The cost of goods sold for water and sewer delivery was driving up based on the aging post-war infrastructure, which is failing faster and is 3-5x more expensive to replace on a unit basis.
Is this going to be open-source? I'm confused about why I'd want or need to create an account.
Well, there’s an interesting wrinkle. When the linear coefficient b is large relative to the other coefficients, the quadratic formula can give wrong results when implemented in floating point arithmetic.

No, there is no wrinkle whatsoever: your computer, guided by your assumptions and given inadequate input (let alone processing logic) got it wrong.

The day you start to blame inputs for errors in output, for which you have complete control is the one that you should mark as a good point to really consider whether you are in the right game.

90% of Epic's issue is how a Hospital implements it. It is so configurable that compliance and leadership will lean on it way more than they should to drive policy leading to BPAs, poorly created OrderSets, and way too many documentation points that contain low value....Then there is the case of not implementing the features that Epic releases that will make life better for the users because the IT department is underfunded or the leadership does not want to change....and then the fact that many users do not like to be trained on how to improve their use of the system.
Swamps or bogs may be more efficient on a net fixation basis. Anaerobic deposition may better preserve the carbon as well.

I'm not immediately finding a comparison of various ecosystems, though there's this on Indonesian swamps:

And:

"Peatlands only cover about 3 percent of the Earth but they accumulate more carbon than tropical rainforests," says biogeochemist Nancy Dise of Manchester Metropolitan University in England. "In terms of sitting there kind of quietly year after year packing away massive amounts of carbon, nothing tops these peatlands."

I sometimes think there may be a gap for simpler technology where it's easier to ensure nothing's hacked. Like if you have a raspberry pi zero with software on a flash drive and check the hash on all the stuff in the flash drive.
More specifically it's the bright light triggering the iris to close that improves the focus. As the aperture narrows (iris closes) the incoming rays become more collimated (less scattered) and so the image falling on your cornea appears sharper even if your eye's lens is not able to focus it correctly. At it's extreme this effect allows the pinhole camera to work without using any lenses at all to focus the image.

The thing is though, while using lower powered glasses might help you train the muscles around your eyes' lenses to be stronger, mitigating the myopia slightly, the root problem still remains: your eyeball is the wrong shape and there's only so much your eyes' lenses can do to make up for that.
The same morally bankrupt argument can be made for pedophilia, murder, rape, and just about any human desire.

Actual evidence, such as Portugal, also prove you conclusively wrong. Go peddle your drivel elsewhere.

Not my PR!

The issue is that if you die by having a cursed ball and chain fall onto your head while descending a staircase, the screen doesn't transition to the lower level so it's not clear on which level the bones file would be generated. (Per emails from the dev team, it does get correctly generated on the lower level.) Apparently fixing this issue somehow required rewriting huge portions of the graphics engine, which probably explains the snarky comment next to the bug in the issue tracker. :-)
I'm so tired of repeatedly hearing this trite and ridiculously myopic response every time someone brings the subject up. No one is ignoring the realities of history here except you.

First of all, lets just state the fact that the principles of a government can be different from the reality of it. The two aren't mutually exclusive. It's as if by mentioning the worst affected groups you think you magically negate the foundational principles just because the implementation wasn't (and isn't) perfect. It's also not to say the system is theoretically perfect, because it's not, but to use such a logically weak strawman ("pining for a history which never existed") and not even expanding whatsoever is intellectually lazy at best.

"Come on, we can be against prohibition for practical reasons"

The foundational principles of American individualism is the greatest practical reason to be against prohibition. What the hell do you think enabled us to finally get rid of the shackles around those disaffected groups in the first place? It was the hard work that mostly Madison put into researching all the various forms of government, and the greatest political thinkers from around the world, that established a structure that although imperfect would be able to improve over time.

Before we continue this, my main question is whether you are American or not. I find that my approach to this subject needs variation for my friends across the pond. If you are, you need to brush up on your civics.
You still gain the benefit from having a nice faster GraalVM, and given it's open source, you could create a fork and encourage the community to use it as an alternative.

I'm sure if you were producing a much faster GraalVM, you'd soon get people to move away from Oracle's one to yours (MariaDB vs MySQL springs to mind as a comparison)
"The conceit of the MBA is that you don’t need to have any substance at all. It’s just this management science, and you can apply that equally well in a software company or an oil drilling company or a fashion company or a rocket company."

Ironically, this has become, in some ways, the conceit of Silicon Valley. That the techniques and patterns there can apply equally well for social media and fashion, and oil drilling and healthcare.
From the book "real computing made real" by Acton, the suggestion is to first view (not always!) the quadratic as x^2 + 2bx + c, so its roots are -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - c). The product of the roots is c and therefore we can compute the root that does not do the subtraction and then divide c by that root to get the other root.

This avoids any of the bad subtraction.

Some sample js code that corresponds to quadratic in the post:

b = 5e7
c = 1

d = b*b - c

if (d >= 0) {
m = Math.sqrt(d)
if ( b> 0) {
r = -b - m
s = c/r
} else if ( b < 0) {
s = -b + m
r = c/s
} else {
r = m
s = -r
}
console.log(r, s)
} else {
console.log("no real roots");
}

This gives the correct roots for this problem in one go.
Do you want to be more specific? Linking to a 70 year old book and a 13 year old, 2:00 hour lecture about the evils of antitrust don't make your vague arguments more compelling. Furthermore, this is not about the government mandating that businesses only make a certain amount of profit, did you read the legal complaint?
Some may have found this to be true at Amazon, but I found it to be one of the biggest deceptions of working there. It was more like Never Disagree Ever.

PyPy is a JIT for Python that's usually faster than the CPython interpreter, but not quite as fast as LuaJIT.

One of the reasons is that Python is a relatively more complex language with stuff like varargs or dict-unpacking that need to be considered at every call, and properties/__getattr__/__getattribute___ inserting themselves into the path for a simple field access. That might not be much worse than Lua's metatables, but the standard library makes use of those features in lots of places, so you can't really avoid them.

Additionally, IIRC LuaJIT uses hand-rolled assembly where necessary, while PyPy is written in Python and converted to C by the RPython toolchain using a process that involves abstract interpretation of the bytecode obtained by reflection on live code objects. That allows making use of all kinds of complex metaprogramming at initialization time to simplify the implementation, but the generated C code is unlikely to be maximally efficient.

Google these genetic polymorphisms + alcoholism that I copy and pasted below, there is your proof :)

Genetic polymorphisms that may increase risk of alcohol abuse
Wild type ADH1B1 allele and wild type ALDH21 may increase the risk of alcohol use disorder because no acetaldehyde build up is associated with normally-functioning ADH and ALDH enzymes. Several studies have shown association of ADH1B1 and ALDH21 with alcoholism, especially in the Asian population. Kim et al. studied 1032 Korean subjects and concluded alcohol dependence in 86.5% alcoholic subjects could be attributed to ADH1B1 and or ALDH21 [14]. Tolstrup et al., in a large study involving genotyping of 9080 white men and women from the general population and using the brief Michigan Alcoholism Screening test, concluded that men with ADH1B1/1 genotype (wild type homozygous) had a two to fourfold higher risk of developing alcoholism compared to men with ADH1B2/1 or ADH1B2/2 genotype. The authors further commented that because ADH1B1 allele is found in more than 90% Caucasians and less than 10% East Asians, the population attributable risk of alcoholism by ADHB1/*1 homozygous genotype was 62% among Caucasians compared with 24% among the East Asian population [15].
