This more related to the omnigenic model that’s referenced in the article: if every gene affects most traits we care about, maybe studying genes is too low-level for most things? Like of course a massive collection of atoms caused world war 2 but we gain no explanatory power by studying sociological conflicts at the level of atoms. Perhaps we need to find a higher level of abstraction over genes, such as gene networks.
This article talks about the LIBOR fixing scandal at length, without once explaining or even hinting at the mechanism by which those doing the fixes would profit.

AFAIK the individual LIBOR submissions are not circulated: on the average of the non-outliers. So submitting a lower number doesn't make your own bank look less risky than other banks.

The problem/opportunity arose because many contracts use LIBOR as a benchmark rate. And these contracts are often tradeable. So you can make trades to bet on LIBOR.

An article from the same source that does a better job: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jan/18/libor-scand...

It doesn't seem like the design of LIBOR is the major problem. It's more that people are using it in ways that were not intended when it was designed.

It's like writing code that relies on undefined behaviour: when it stops working, who do you blame?
Let me say it again in a different way. My resolution of the paradox is that the prisoner incorrectly negates "x will happen" as "x won't happen" instead of negating "x definitely will happen" as "x might not happen". Thus,the prisoner cannot conclude that the hanging won't be a surprise. The prisoner can only conclude that the hanging might not be a surprise.
As someone who grew up in a working class environment in which mostly everyone had "flawed"(lol) fathers, I've found that there's a big distinction in the structure of the discipline.

The parents for whom crossing a line resulted in verbal/physical abuse but were otherwise fine tend to have good relationships with their kids. While the punishment is much more severe than it would be in other families, there's a clear logical structure that a child can understand. When I was younger I would say stuff like "My dad hit us sometimes when we were being dumb, but otherwise he was great". However, I've long learned that people that grew up in the middle/upper class don't want to hear statements like that and get extremely uncomfortable, so I now leave it at "my childhood was good".

On the other hand, the people I knew growing up that had a father that was arbitrary with their anger tend to have non-existing/bad relationships with their fathers. I'd see situations where the father would tell their son to do X, son would respond that they've finished X already, father would lose their temper and scream at them to do X again, which made no sense. When you do that, you're not teaching a lesson or imposing any structure, you're just teaching your son that you're an asshole. Unsurprisingly, these children grow up with extreme resentment towards their fathers that has lasted into adulthood.
You've nailed it. The judge's sentence contains an inconsistency, and is therefore a falsehood; any conclusion whatsoever proceed from an inconsistency. The judge essentially said "you will and you will not be hanged".
Roman concrete also has loads of advantages over modern concrete. Cracks don't spread, better salt resistance, and better earthquake resistance.

Modern concrete will not survive like Roman examples have. With the environmental advantages too I'm surprised it hasn't had a resurgence.

In some senses, "The US" is not really involved in oil production. It is a more privatised industry in the US than most (oil producing) places. If oil prices go up in the Persian Gulf, petrol prices go up in Texas regardless of import/export balances.

In theory, the surplus profit is enjoyed by Texan oil producers, as opposed to Gulfy producers. This is increasingly dubious as the economy globalises. Gulfies own an interest in Texan oil wells. Texans own an interest in Gulf oil wells.

The Texan putting petrol in his ute... I'm not sure it matters to him that the US is a net exporter. Petrol costs him more. Oil derived products cost him more. His income does not increase.

This is not true in the reverse. In most oil producing nations, people do not pay the export price for oil. The local market price is usually lower.

If the allusion here is that Instagram is a lot better, anecdotal experience of one person suggests that Instagram is no different. More people seem to be creating Instagram accounts to promote stuff or to create a brand.

People tend to follow many others just in the hope of a Follow Back or getting more engagement on their posts. It's like Twitter all over again. The number of likes that posts get seems to be extremely low compared to the number of followers (except those who are celebrities of some sort or were already famous for something). The likes also tend to be done with an expectation of getting more likes. What's worse than the number of likes? That'd be the number of comments. Most people's posts, except those of a personal nature intended for (real) friends, tend to get no comments at all. It looks like a ghost town. Or rather, a zombie town, with the inhabitants chanting "follows", "likes", and so on.

There's way too much content, way too small screens to consume them on (photos and videos), and way too less time for it all.
Programming is full of bullshit jobs. I worked at a tech megacorp where one senior developer ended up with a single commit after 12 months on the job. I'm sure you've seen instances where individual roles or even whole teams have been replaced by a couple thousand lines of automation. And I don't know how widespread this is, but I've seen cases where senior managers will just hire people whether they need them or not to inflate their headcount.

I'm not going to defend every single professor of anthropology, but "studying human societies and cultures and their development" sounds like a useful thing in general and is exactly what this work is.
She is violating the law. California doesn't allow seeking his past salary data in the hiring process. This is true even if they don't seek it from him.

Of course, they can use general data that they think matches his experience. But not if they're using that as a way to dig for his individual past salary.

Plateau killing: Why land all over Nigeria belongs to Fulani – Miyetti Allah
Suppose you do a simple addition on your 4096bit "CPU", you have to propagate the carry from the first 64bits to the next 64. How do you do that within your clock cycle over the internet? You'd have to pipeline them so that each subsequent 64bit add waits for the previous carry, but then wouldn't it be orders of magnitude faster to just do it on the same CPU rather than taking the time and resources to do a single 64bit add followed by a high latency network transfer? At any rate what does clock synchronization buy you here exactly, data transfer are still high-latency and high-jitter, at best you're isochronous but definitely not synchronous.

Either I completely misunderstand what you're proposing or it doesn't make sense at all.
Probably worth reading Debunking Economics before being sold on all microeconomic ideas. Particularly anything to do with the theory of the firm.
Isn't starting in September common?
The writer mentions the late 80s and 90s welfare reforms without mentioning how much the overall economy grew in the 90s, and doesn’t mention that welfare itself dropped but in many ways the public assistance just changed from cash payments to other forms of assistance and that income did rise for these people, partially as a result of minimum wage increases, in Michigan at least, but not always enough to lift them out of poverty. Studies in Michigan also showed that a very large percentage of those that left the welfare system did so without obtaining work. I think to blame California’s poverty mostly on welfare is more than disingenuous, it’s wrong. For many of these people it’s not keeping them poor, it’s keeping them alive. The great disparity of wealth and income between classes is the problem imo.
Haha, yeah :). Too bad we aren't in the future and there's no go pro to install in the dog's skull or some interactive kind of storytelling to show da-da-data in its context. :]
It doesn't have to; the deeper the rebar the longer it will last. Rust takes more space than iron, so it can't form if the integrity of the concrete is uncompromised. You have to weigh the extra concrete against the likelihood the structure will be obsolete anyway. Building a 4-lane floating bridge across Lake Washington that drains runoff directly to the lake wouldn't have mattered if it would have lasted longer because it was too small and environmentally damaging in other ways.
How would you use that nano-second precision on a CPU/OS that supports at most microsecond precision?

Ehhh, I think you're fudging the causality here and reading your own incorrect perspective into the article.

Recessions hit the lowest rungs of the economic ladder hardest, and those same rungs are last to fully get in on the recovery. Hence, labor's share of GDP tends to be highest at the end of the business cycle... which necessarily coincides with an imminent recession.

Interesting theory, I think there's something to it.

There's probably some selection bias going on with the religious homes thing. Like the hidden variable that both religious adherence AND discipline/work ethic are caused by: a belief in a meta-order that one should conform to and operate within.

i.e. It's reasonable to assume that more traditionally religious parents are people that tend to prefer (a) explicit order and structure, and (b) conformity or deference to authority. If you value those things, you will likely place a higher degree of value on discipline and work ethic in your own life and in your children's lives.

On a more subtle level -- and this will likely be unpopular on here -- I believe that sincerely religious people are also more likely to have a certain "default stance" towards life / the universe... that their actions matter, that they want to be "morally good", that they must take into account a perspective other than their own (either God's perspective, their priest's, their parents', etc). That combined with a kind of earnestness... seems like a good plan for success in life.

Obviously not saying those are exclusively or even principally religious attributes.

Also not saying that that stance is absolutely the best one. You can likely index too far that way too.
I don't agree with the premise, but if it really is the case the valuation is too high, the "bad" investors who don't know what they're doing will lose money and thus have less influence on the markets in the future. It's important for the long term health of the investment ecosystem to have mechanisms to remove the market impacts of those who make bad decisions (and increase the influence of those making good decisions), and this is that mechanism.
It's time to question economic growth. We cannot change the whole economy with a green one, we simply don't have the resources. This is just one example of many. What we need it's to take care of what we have right now and create conditions for people to have a good live regardless the economy is growing or not.

The history of silicon valley is fascinating. Back in the WW2 days, ampex (some would argue they were the first SV tech company) was founded in CA specifically to avoid the corrupt regulatory machine the GE and friends had created on the east coast.

Eventually old tech figured out what was going on, and almost got them shut down for patents or something. Fortunately, by the time that happened, it was clear ampex was crucial to the war effort.

At that point, the war machine somehow managed to override the politicians, so the US had significant radio communications advantages over its enemies.

This helped the war effort, but it also helped create Silicon Valley’s traditional deep-seated mistrust of Washington, and Washington’s hands-off attitude about CA tech companies.

Eventually, self-imposed regulatory capture strangled east coast tech to death, so all that’s left are universities and (now) NY’s bootstrapping startup scene (and, of course, the military tech complex near DC).

The sad part is that the current generation of Silicon Valley giants are consciously trying to dismantle the whole thing by lobbying DC, and writing regulatory capture bills like FOSTA and the CLOUD act (and many earlier examples).

Google led the charge at this years ago. After watching the MS anti-trust thing, they hoped they could preempt such “misunderstandings” with piles of lobbyist cash. (Source: their cofounders, years ago. They didn’t use the word “dismantle”, in fairness.)

It will he interesting to see what country will have enough common sense to replicate SV over the next 50 years.

In the article, it sounds like France is trying to create a low-regulation academic and economic zone for this new university push.

China keeps bouncing between “no law enforcement” and “extreme, protectionist regulation”, which sounds fundamentally unstable to me.

Also, there are probably a dozen other geographical regions playing in this space.

Anyway, to answer your question, Europe’s industrial base has historically been even more protectionist (can’t fire people, product specs are legislated, etc) than the US East coast, which is why that region won the mainframe and minicomputer wars.

I think there is a broader theme, where older governments do more and more things to protect the wealthy and borrow money to provide social services until the economy simply collapses.
Yeah probably he was talking about that. But for my Mate, GVfs is not an option :(
The report exposes quite the paradox: We desperately need these infrastructure projects to transition to a carbon-neutral world, but in doing so we will have to emit a massive amount of carbon.

Massive compared to what? This article highlights that a single wind turbine uses a lot of concrete. But per the latest IPCC assessment, wind power over its life cycle already has the lowest median CO2 emissions of any electricity source. Sure, look for even cleaner ways to make materials, but this rhetoric is terrible. It lets fossil shills bludgeon you with your own words later: "see, environmentalists say coal burning emits massive amounts of carbon dioxide, but they say the same about switching to wind power, so there's no rush to change things."

Here's a recent review article about curbing CO2 emissions from cement:

Global strategies and potentials to curb CO2 emissions in cement industry

https://s3.amazonaws.com/academia.edu.documents/39977040/1-s...

It provides actual numbers and suggestions. Only half of cement's CO2 emissions per ton come from the chemistry inherent in calcining calcium carbonate to produce calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. The rest comes from the fossil sources of energy used to process materials. Like most industrial processes, it can cut emissions significantly just by switching input energy sources. Also, as someone else mentioned, concrete absorbs atmospheric CO2 as it cures. It's mostly the fossil combustion embedded in its production that drives emissions over its full life cycle.

"So-called high frequency trading firms place trades in a fraction of a second, sometimes in a bet that they can move faster than bigger competitors."

First off: no. Big money plays in high frequency trading (roughly half of all trading activity), and the smaller traders without instantaneous access are the losers in this game.

Secondly, NASDAQ's obsession with precise global sequencing is A) misguided and B) effectively impossible to do right 100% of the time. Given this, I would argue that the appropriate thing to do is change the market requirements. And I'd argue that like this:

1) Temporally quantize the market. Orders come in on an open temporal window that is sufficiently long to account for global latency of non-pathological communication (sorry, tor users) and a bit of computation time. Everyone gets to swim in the same pool. Maybe one second, maybe more. Nobody gets to see the order book until it's resolved. Write-only.
2) Lock the book and fulfill orders from the set of satisfiable orders. If there just contention for a trade (there will always be some), fulfill the contentious trades randomly using random zeedig generated from a pre-announced salt and a hash of some or all of the order book for the window.
3) Return the results and the hashes of the order book, next salt, etc, for verifiability and prep.
4) Re-open the order window.

High frequency traders would hate this, because they wouldn't be able to pounce on quick movements, even without fronting slower traders.

It would, naturally, increase latency for trades by virtue of having to wait for market resolution. However, mere sequencing doesn't solve the problem of having to resolve and confirm trades (the speed of light is so cruel), so I'm left utterly unsold on the market-efficiency benefit of ultra-high order resolution. Wealthy high frequency traders want to use time to buy an advantage, and the liquidity support they provide to the markets is dubious, at best, since they pull the plug as soon as things get crazy.

Quantize the markets.

A religion-based anecdote like this sounds very odd to my Western European/Australian ears.

I simply can't imagine anyone here in the UK or in Australia (where I went to school and university) making such statements relating students' diligence to religious background.

(For what it's worth, I went to a Church of England-run high school, where the top students were overwhelmingly non-religious.)

While a 10 week old fetus is not a blob of cells, having some major structures forming and hinting at their definitive shape, the brain is still very little more than autonomic functions.

Also, there are a multitude of reasons why a couple would want to terminate a pregnancy for a genetic anomaly, from the social burden to the financial burden or the notion that their child with a congenital condition will not lead a life they deem worth living. At this point, when the fetus is not a person just yet, it's their choice to make.

Would you have a child knowing they'd be condemned to a premature and painful death?
