Disgusting. What they call "openness" is repressive law, with exceptions for the very rich wanting to park their money there. What they call "ambition" is princes and others born into wealth, living lavish lifestyles, beyond your dreams, on the backs of slave labour. I quote:

'Human rights organizations have complained about violations of human rights in Dubai.[2] Most notably, some of the 250,000 foreign laborers in the city have been alleged to live in conditions described by Human Rights Watch as being "less than humane".'

When can we stop glorifying these modern day fief lords for being "ambitious visionaries"? In a planet with still so much suffering, they contribute nothing, they leech resources to live obscene lives, they build nothing useful, they improve nobody's life... They are parasites.

Loudness normalisation and limiting are different things.

Limiting is about turning down the music when it peaks above a certain threshold measured in decibels, and loudness normalisation is about normalising music to its perceived loudness, measured in LUFS.

When I was working in and around the IBM ecosystem during the '80s and '90s, I often ran across pundits like Lance Gutteridge who made a nice living as self-proclaimed experts at something or other. They wrote trendy books and gave expensive presentations to corporate insiders. They usually turned out to be a flash in the pan.
It's highly personal. Maybe you don't like (the congestion of) Asian cities. Or the culture.

Maybe you don't like the gilded cage that is Monaco, or you think it is bad value -- $1m will likely not even get you a nice studio apt in Monaco, but it will go a lot further in Dubai. If you're renting $10k or 20k a month will get you a lot more in Dubai than it will in Monaco. But you do want the tax benefits of not paying any tax.

England is great as a non dom, but there are restrictions on what you can and cannot do. Perhaps you are British and you cannot get non-dom status. Perhaps your main business lies in the UK and thus you can't avoid UK tax.

Perhaps you want geographical proximity to a certain area, i.e. (Eastern) Europe, or Africa, or India.

There are many reasons why people opt for certain jurisdictions.

What the U.S. considers a practical problem often isn't. That is a shitty statement. The U.S. also considered spending 2T on a jet that was worse than the F-22. Just because the U.S. spends on something doesn't mean it has a practical application.

Nevertheless, the internet turned out to be transforming from its original purpose. We can sit here and argue about cyrptocurreny but the game is young and we wont know what it will turn into in 30 years. Just like the people in the 70 and 80s didn't know how transforming the internet would become for our society.
For relationship success you must both also be effective at communicating with each other, able to talk openly.

You also need to be able to discuss challenges and issues without eroding the value of the relationship.
I don't have a deep understanding on how the WASM Go port works, sorry. I was simply responding to the parent comment about GOMAXPROCS=1.

Equally distributed wealth is not as common as non-broken legs. In fact, the reason you call a broken body part broken is because it diverged from what its natural state.
Damn. Personally I'd hoped the FileZilla team had discontinued their bundling of malware since the SourceForge episode, which I wrote about here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20140816230250/http://blog.glust...

Instead, it looks like they've taken up with the malware creators directly.

Wonder what the most appropriate solution would be?

If Google were to "ban" FileZilla from its results (due to pushing malware), it sounds to me like that would work.

An outsider, in her own words an edgewalker, all her career, Linda had been an artist and teacher when the Maya captured her imagination. She had erupted into the field as a young woman just some strange little painter from Alabama in an academic discipline dominated by male archaeologists, just at the time when the investigation of the so called Mysterious Maya was about to become the most dynamic area in the rediscovery of the ancient past.

Her mission was to interpret and explain the historic Maya world of city states, kings, rulers, and religion to her own world. But, by working with the modern Maya peoples of Mexico and Guatemala, she began to understand the links between the Indian peoples own rich indigenous culture and their ancient past; and she began to hand back to these oppressed people the tools to repossess their history. This was what Linda Schele considered her most important work.

> We ask hard questions because so many of the problems worth solving in life are hard. If they were easy, someone else would have solved them before you got to them.

This is so true. And the strategies explained in the article can be adapted to deal with almost any problem in life. But you have to keep in mind that the bigger the problem, the longer it will take to solve. Some will take days, others years and even decades.

Saudi Arabia is about to spend millions to turn Qatar into an island
There'll always be more to that than meets the eye. Processing the death of a loved one is hard enough as it is; add in the fact that they killed themselves and suddenly the grief of that loss becomes incredibly complex.

That last moment you spent with them, with no idea of it being the last one, might have been wonderful. How would you reconcile your feeling in that moment with them suddenly cutting their life short? They seemed fine. If only they reached out? Is it my fault for not being there when they needed me? Why!? Anger, grief, sorrow, moments of joy when you look back on what was...

Add to that we in the western world are generally not very good at talking about our feelings, wanting to appear strong and holding everything together, not feeling like we will be listened to if we open up, or actually being afraid of being judged or stigmatised for it. Never mind being put on the spot about such a sensitive thing. "He seemed fine," is as good a way as any of hiding the incredible pain and vulnerability you will have, just as giving that appearance of being fine is a great way to hide a terrible internal torment that ultimately makes you take your life, because you don't feel like you can reach out for the support you need.

It's highly unlikely that someone, when asked, will go into great detail about how they're actually feeling about that. They have to be given the space to open up if they feel comfortable to do so, in order to get past that protective response.

This has been my experience from my own suicide attempts in the past decade. The first time I was exactly like that - hiding everything, 'seeming fine' - because I trusted nobody enough to really open up to them. The second time, I did trust someone, a couple of friends and a therapist, and I kept my heart as open as I possibly could the whole way. This was painful for everybody involved, especially after the second attempt and a very close call with a third, but that pain is nothing in comparison to what it would be if I never reached out and succeeded in the attempt.

The point in all of that ramble being, maybe in time we as a society will reach a more compassionate place where it's easier to share these aspects of ourselves if we want to.

> And that’s not all. Some reports indicate that Saudi Arabia would use the area along the canal as a place to store nuclear waste
And how do you address the massive injustice in wealth and opportunity distribution already present because of centuries of capital and power sharing the same bed? I'd be all for your proposal if it included a way to nationalise all capital above a certain threshold, bring everyone to that threshold and then distribute the rest based on merit. But I don't think that is possible. But your proposal assumes not just a just world, but that the world already has been just for 100s of years

You have to look out for this one, because sometimes (eg. if the CEO is also the owner of the company) it can be very misleading. I worked at an ISP back in university where everyone, including the managing director, was paid roughly minimum wage. Any time anyone asked for a raise, the answer was "Bob the MD only gets paid $X per hour, are you asking for more than Bob?" ignoring the fact that every dollar on the company's value was a dollar in Bob's pocket.

Nope, 90% of people would stay where they are. Most people don't like migrating: to uproot yourself and your family from the land, culture and language you love is a big deal and people only do it when the have no other choice.
It's interesting how hostile most people are to this idea.
If a virus can cause accident that releases radiation, it's not a computer safety problem, it's a failure in nuclear plant automation design.

Modern nuclear plant's usually have analog monitoring and safety system's parallel to digitized control in critical parts like neutron flux measurement and calibration, fuel loading monitoring, control rod position indicator, control rod actuators, .... Any error caused by virus attempting sabotage the plant should result shutdown.

You can divide the system into 1) process automation 2) limiting systems and 3) Protection systems.

Process automation can be fully digitized and computerized. If it fails or computer virus attempts to sabotage the system, it should not cause critical conditions because limiting systems have diversified digital and analog control systems that limit given parameters. If that fails independent protections systems trigger shutdown if those same parameters are exceeded.

Another way to divide the safety is four principles:

1) parallel principle: parallel subsystems

2) separation principle: parallel subsystems are placed so that simultaneous damage to all of them is very unlikely.

3) diversity principle: same function is implemented with different operating principles. The same valve can be operated using electric motor, compressed air, or manually.

4) safe-state principle: system failing falls back to the safe state
Horizontal mode sucks, when enabling auto screen rotation it often rotates when not wanted from minuscule movements, like when having it near horizontal or reading in bed. I don't understand why they don't use a schmidt trigger effect where you have to rotate the phone very much in a direction, or even shake it, before it rotates, and then keeps your desired rotation more robustly. Oh and the buttons to enable/disable auto rotation are already too much effort to bother, too many taps away plus none to switch hor/ver instead of auto/ver.

Is that similar to what replaygain uses for adjusting loudness?
It seems to me other way round. I did not judged either, but I wrote why certain reports could not be trusted. The "this particular thing is likely exaggerated" comments were downvoted at the time I read it - regard less of how factual they were and no they did not claimed Azteks not have human sacrifice at all.

That is discussing history without judgement. If you bring this as proof that Cortez was unfairly disbelieved, which people do, then it is absolutely relevant to bring why, the way he collected evidence and what his goals were. That is part of historical discussion too.

This whole discussion, meaning other (top) threads are primary about making civilization judgement. Except that, only Aztek (or communist for some odd reason) kills are allowed in that discussion. It is literally there, Europeans coming were clearly superior, because we don't talk about facts that break that nice vision - namely that potential victims of sacrifice ended up being tortured in order to extract evidence that they themselves killed people (or have gold).

So no, discussion turned into civilization moral judgement before me and at that point it is perfectly ok to discuss involved civilizations - or at least what they were doing at that time at that place.

Offtopic: I think you can actually judge past people. You can judge Aztek priest, who is in it in part for own gain or cruel Samurai, Nazi leader or Colombus or whoever specifically. You should not however buy one of these guys woldview, just because he is our tribe remotely, and claim his self serving violence and treatment of commoners are fair due to somebody else's action.

I'd be interested as well; even when I was working with digital logic designers they described this process (eg bandgap references and PLLs) as "black magic", and it's very rare in undergrad or even master's courses.
> What the U.S. considers a practical problem often isn't

Sure. But it’s still a customer making a purchase. That purchase grounds the project in someone’s need. A need they’re willing to trade for. The “trades for” part is important, since it references the status quo.

Financial assets, particularly speculative assets, don’t solve a need. They promise to solve a future need. (Sometimes they don’t.) Part of the discipline of speculating investing is knowing when to pull the plug.

Yeah, the last time hardware audio decoders were relevant was like... back in the Nokia N-Gage days.

The N-Gage QD removed the MP3 decoder that was present in the original model. And you could install a software player, and it would struggle with bitrates above 128kbps :D

Modern phones can decode video in software (sucks for battery life, and framerate/resolution are more limited than with hardware, but it's possible). Audio is nothing for them.

Polya's little "How to solve it" booklet has great advice.

It's great because it's addressed to math classes but based on the practices of a research mathematician. So it's not just solving the problems in the book, it's also about solving new unsolved problems. It's specific to math, but really useful for so many other questions.

There is much more to the book but one of my favorite parts is the Heuristics and their simple explanations. Wikipedia has a good table of them

Analogy Can you find a problem analogous to your problem and solve that?
Generalization Can you find a problem more general than your problem?
Induction Can you solve your problem by deriving a generalization from some examples?
Specialization Can you find a problem more specialized?
Draw a Figure Can you draw a picture of the problem?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Solve_It

The calm, deliberate attitude of the book is infectious, it's great for getting unstuck from tough problems. So do read the book itself in addition to the wikipedia article.
I'm also fascinated by this. I've read about a similar setup where instead of a windcatcher driving the airflow it's wood being burnt near the top of the air channel. I can't recall who used this though. If anyone has some keywords or links, I would appreciate it.

Interestingly, both problems could be happening _at the same time_! If before (say) 1% of all people got a chance to publish their work and the internet has increased that tenfold, there is still space for 90% of the population to be passive consumers. That 10% might still be 'too much' for some types of content of course (how many bands, standup comedians or indie game developers do you need before you hit diminishing returns anyway?)

In fact, I suspect that most people fall into both groups: They might be 'creators' for some types of content and only 'passively consume' some different types. For example, I sometimes contribute to OSS but have never uploaded a Youtube video in my life.

This situation is being handled (by KSA) with the same tact as the other Mohammed Bin Salman blunders on the world stage since being given the attention of the world. But the reality is Qatar hosts a huge US military base as well as one from Turkey, and military invasion is not an option for KSA. Qatar is also a rich country sitting on about 15% of known world reserves of natural gas (despite being tiny) and can hold on under the embargo for a long time by seeking trade with neutral or Iran-friendly partners.

This. Problem finding is a harder problem than problem solving .. heh. That said, whether or not others believe it to be important is only a matter of whether the problem is important for your career.

Problem finding requires the backing of curiosity and curiosity has no teeth without well developed knowledge and skill. i.e. Problem finding is effective in areas that you've spent considerable brain time on. So the path to top class problem finding is a long hard road that demands patience. Those who find it easy to solve problems that are given to them often are not motivated to travel this road (at least in the instances I have seen), while those who have to struggle a bit but not too much manage to stay on the road.

Sometimes I find myself being cynical about all the emphasis on "problem solving" in hiring especially with puzzles .. like problems are always handed to you in well defined mathematical form in the real world. I'm looking for folks who have the courage to ask "why is this problem important?"
It's a bit rich for you to hold up Norway as a model for sensible attitudes towards punishment. This is the same country that sentenced a man who killed 77 people to 21 years in a resort-like prison. Regardless of your own philosophy, most people (even opponents of the death penalty) would view this sentence as so absurdly lenient that it verges on psychopathy towards the victims and their families.

(I strongly disagree with the original commenter, by the way. I do think capital punishment is warranted in extreme cases.)
