There's lots of kinds of pizza out there. It seems like the commenters here haven't read the paper, because it goes over a sampling of the different styles in Italy, and you can not cook them all the same way, period. But a Neapolitan brick oven (or an equivalent) works for most of them.

However, you can approximate the specific variables of a Neapolitan brick oven by using two factors to your advantage: slow even conductive heat, and high radiant heat. You need these two because you're cooking two different kinds of food at once: bread, and cheese/vegetables.

For the conductive surface, you want something that retains a lot of heat, but not too much heat that it would burn the surface or overcook it before it's fully cooked through. I like a Dutch oven or very large cast iron skillet, as both retain a lot of heat and can transfer it effectively. In addition, you can add a lid to control the radiant heat on the top, as well as control water loss.

The surface radiant heat can be obtained with the broiler mode on a standard oven. By pre-heating a conductive surface, and controlling when the radiant heat is applied using a lid, you can time the bread cook time and surface cook time to obtain an even cook.

However, all this is very complicated and still not likely to work for all pizzas. So it's actually a bit easier to pre-cook the crust, add the toppings, and then cook the top as desired. This should work for virtually all pizza types as the bread is really the hardest part to get right (if you have good ingredients and a stable radiant heat source).

You can do a lot on your individual micro-scale, but you will have a very hard time understanding how these changes affect the overall economy on a macro scale.

For all we know, "the market" is pretty much just a giant black box. It's not totally black, but we have a very hard time properly defining, or even quantifying, what's actually going on there.
Or a US company isn't going to comply with EU laws because they have no reason to.
No, FooHentai is right. We're screwed, Malthus-style, in the long run no matter what we do. The problem is that while modernism does tend to moderate fertility, it doesn't do so across the board. Some subgroups nevertheless have fertility far above replacement, and the exponential growth function tells us that these high-fertility groups will come to dominate the population.

In other words, selection pressure ---biological, cultural, doesn't matter --- always wins in the end. Mother nature has the last laugh.
The left fears no such thing. There are no serious anti-immigration voices on the left.
The real world digitizes spectacularly well

No, it doesn't. If it did, then the surveying industry would be out of business. Yet every time a building is permitted in the United States, surveys are done.

Here's an example for a recent project surveyed in Chicago just this year:

West Roosevelt Road; South Clark Street; a line beginning at a point 116 feet north of vacated West 16″‘ Street as measured along the west line of South Clark Street that is westerly 135.20 feet along the arc of a circle having a radius of 375.00 feet concave northerly and whose chord bears north 79 degrees 49 minutes 52 seconds west a distance of 135.20 feet; a line north 69 degrees 46 minutes 04 seconds west a distance of 101.85 feet; a line north 69 degrees 49 minutes 57 seconds west a distance of 26.00 feet; a line along the arc of a circle having a radius of 407.80 feet concave southerly and whose chord bears north 75 degrees 52 minutes 04 seconds west a distance of 85.51 feet a distance of westerly 85.67 feet; a line north 83 degrees 47 minutes 05 seconds west a distance of 164.45 feet; a line north 69 degrees 43 minutes 24 seconds west a distance of 25.16 feet; a line north 43 degrees 07 minutes 24 seconds west a distance of 31.91 feet to a point on the easterly dock line of the former South Branch of the Chicago River; a line south 46 degrees 47 minutes 47 seconds west along the easterly dock line of the former South Branch of the Chicago River a distance of 73.33 feet; a line south 89 degrees 54 minutes 55 seconds west a distance of 32.69 feet; a line south 49 degrees 36 minutes 35 seconds a distance of 46.38 feet; a line north 89 degrees 54 minutes 55 seconds east a distance of 296.25 feet; a line easterly along the arc of a circle having a radius of 375.00 feet concave southerly and whose chord bears south 78 degrees 32 minutes 39 seconds east a distance of 109.97 feet for a distance of 110.36 feet; a line south 69 degrees 46 minutes 04 seconds east a distance o f 136.90 feet; a line easterly along the arc of a circle having a radius of 391.00 feet concave northerly and whose chord bears south 79 degrees 33 minutes 50 seconds east a distance of 135.64 feet for a distance of 136.33 feet; South Clark Street; vacated West 16″‘ Street; a line 155.40 feet west of and parallel to South Clark Street; the north line of vacated West 16″” Street; and the South Branch of the Chicago River

So much insecurity in these comments. Hilarious. I hope you didn't buy into the shorts thesis.
I love looking at the mountains from the SV flatlands so much that I’m happy to spend an extra 8 hours in traffic a week.

I’m also happy to pay the current market value of the (nicer) house I grew up in to my landlord every four years, all for that mountain view that’s occluded by the neighbors’ single story houses anyway.

Ditto for not having workable public transit, no decent restaurants walkable from the house, etc, etc.

One anecdotal bad thing some Bangladeshi did does not prove the entire ethnicity is bad or that they can not co-exist with modern western values. And I am not sure what you want to prove by saying that the initial western value based constitution did not persist, are you implying that this can never happen in that country, that the specific ethnicity is somehow different or not capable of something better? It is not like this kind of thing does not happen in other places (this kind of thing has happend in the USA too).
> The consensus is that Europe is becoming more of a meritocracy and in the US, economic status is increasingly determined at birth.

Poor Americans have been hammered over the last two decades - and have now put their faith in Trump. Let's hope he can fix the system.

> This is a cynical take, but, roughly speaking, in Europe, there are workers rights, and in the US, employment is at-will.

What's counter-intuitive to me is you would think in a system with more workers rights the workers would take more risks - but the opposite is true.

I'm also surprised that in countries in Europe with huge youth unemployment we don't see outsized open source contributions.
I don't have the stats you're looking for, but I would guess the prior probability of accidents and foul play in smaller communities is also going to be lower than it is for large urban communities, because these communities are more tightly-knit, and people drive less rashly to begin with, etc. Or maybe they drive more rashly - I don't know. The point is, there are a lot of factors to consider. So it's going to be hard to draw conclusions from stats.

In other words, how much of those numbers is explained by said lower probability, and how much by parents' willingness to trust their kids?

I'm referring to the notion that we understand classical mechanics beyond merely "having the equations and getting correct results" - we really do not. Because classical mechanics prevails on the scale that our brains operate on, we do not find it unintuitive. However, at the end of the day, it is merely that we have a bunch of equations that give us correct results - just as quantum mechanics does.

This is true of all of physics - reducing observations to the level of predictability. Beyond that we are wading into philosophy.

(BTW, classical physics has warts as well - what is the force between a charge of 1 Coulomb and -1 Coulomb when they are touching each other?)
Not true, I release all my photos under a CC license out of principle.
"The only hard part requiring serialized synchronization is the carry bit, across compute nodes."

I don't think that's the only hard part. Branches, for instance, are rough.

"What are the advantages? Predictability, and expanded throughput."

I think the system you've described would definitely have some predictability, but I contend that it would be predictably slow. Furthermore, given that everything is going to have to be pipelined up to its eyeballs, you don't need nanosecond synchronization to achieve high throughout. Audio, for instance, often achieves higher throughout than clock. Look at the AES MADI spec for an example of this (basic link at Wikipedia here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MADI ).

I'm just not seeing how this is practicable, or, more critically for this conversation, how it is particularly uncorked by precision clocking in a particularly meaningful way. It strikes me as an approach that would have to deal with edge cases robustly, largely using the same mechanisms that would be necessary for imprecise clocking (but with assured sequencing).

"But anyway, from the perspective of a subscriber, it's on them to marshall their data, and then, if they have operations for which the scale of 4096 bit chunks improves results, they can get their granular operations done at 1 GHz, which allows them to predict time spent and overall cost more easily."

This strikes me as similar to the complexity sizing in Craig Gentry's fully homomorphic encryption system, in that all operation sets up to a configured encodable complexity require the same computstional effort, effectively inefficient for smaller operations. For timing attacks in cryptosystems, it actually seems reasonable to retain fixed effort, even if Gentry's original system was largely impractical.

For general computation? I think that the sweet spot between job chunking and dataset chunking for the system you've described may not actually exist.

Cool stuff.

Under "Why bother with this blog?" are some off-topic ideas - this one for example:

The most important aspect: no matter what you want to do, start by thinking before reading from someone else or asking someone else (no matter who). ...

I suppose the value of this nugget depends on your goal. If your goal is to invent something devoid of any previous human experience, I suppose it could apply. Think outside the box. Reaallly outside the box. In fact, there is no box.

But if your goal is to invent something or solve any problem whatsoever that involves previous human experience (99.99% of situations), this seems more like an antipattern. Right up there with "never show anyone what you've done - they might steal it."

Still, this comment makes me think back to my days of programming on an old 6502 Atari computer. It was so hard to get documentation that it seemed like everything I did was my own invention - no matter how trivial. It's not hard to feel creative in that kind of environment.

I wonder if that's one of the things we actually miss when we think back to that simpler time. The unlikelihood of discovering that our inventions had already been done to death.

Globalisation has resulted in the greatest reduction in human poverty to have ever occurred. The benefits are not uniformly distributed, and there are losers and winners, the losers deserve protection, and the shortcomings should be decried and fixed, sure.

But to conclude from the fact that some migrants in one country are having a rough time that globalisation as a whole is a negative thing is errant nonsense; the equivalent of stubbing your toe and deciding that the entire concept of furniture was a mistake.

The mere fact you're posting on here makes it clear you're part of the global 1%. As such, you have the luxury of preferring policies that avoid making you uncomfortable. Others face harsher constraints.

Dirty Code Monday
It's not the number. It's the fact that people can't count on what the company says. So it's always a case of over promise and under deliver. So it's easy to focus on that fact and call the company and its founder flaky. Few companies can survive that.

But the reality is that they eventually deliver and Musk can keep investors engaged which keeps the company going with more cash. Even reaching 4850 is a big deal.

The real stretch goal is reaching profitability. I hope that happens soon.
Thanks. I'm still not convinced that a liberal arts education is an effective way of fostering this type of thinking as compared to practicing a variety of meditation styles.
Where are you getting the 10 and 20 million barrels per day numbers? Those are roughly the crude oil production and total petroleum product consumption numbers given here[1], but those aren't measuring comparable things because there are products other than crude oil that go into the consumption number. The same source gives 14.2 million barrels per day as the total petroleum product production.

Lets balance the societal gains. Homeowners don't like skyscrapers vs. a generation of people paying ridiculous sums to live in substandard conditions.
Say what you want about BD (and the analogy the religious right used in [1] about national symbols was grotesque) but in Pakistan if a government minister said what that guy did in [2] about removing the state religion he’d probably be shot. My BNP supporting former boss in the states seems to think doing so is selling out to India. That’s progress I guess.

I think requirements on the architecture of new construction, the materials, the look, etc. is less burdensome than limiting the key features of the new development (number of units, floorplans).

Placing some restrictions to ensure you don’t make cookie-cutter concrete boxes is not so bad. Banning new, denser construction entirely is the true problem.
Shhh. Let them pretend economic history only goes back 10 years. Stop spoiling the party!
On angle on that is we have societies have created the concept of an entity that is not a person who can assume debt, and has certain speech rights. So that entity is supposed to advance society more than alternative, which would be something like owners being personally liable for its debts and faults.
Continuously figured capital gains tax is a really interesting idea.
Isn't that the entire point of the free market? To find the price that incentivizes the necessary level of production of a good/service?

The alternative is a central authority setting prices, which has historically had disastrous results.
I think that this is the first real plan. After 20 years of in laws / granny flats the market will move to condos as the increased local density shifts things. Major roads and transit will see taller buildings with a gradual expansion of skyscrapers in downtown areas.
Lest anyone believe their positional privacy is at risk, even the Verizon routing prefix could have homed the cops onto which provider to drill down into.

The take-away here, is that end-to-end protocols by neccessity as currently written send the src IP in the packet. If we'd designed IP to send the src IP as a payload, and had encrypted payload (TLS style) and then only had the destination IP in the outer packet, things might be different.

I've asked this question over the years since the 1980s: Given that we thought source based routing was a thing, its understandable we designed for simpler times with src IP in the packet but given its not a thing now, and privacy is, why do we still send the src IP in the packet? It doesn't mean anything useful, to most agents. NAT/CGN devices don't actually care, they want you to be consistent about which interface you arrive on, and the 5-tuple has it, but other things could be used which have no end-to-end impact. Beyond the NAT/CGN boundary, nobody cares, routing is solely on the destination and the ASN of the transits. Once at the destination, the payload is available, to find the originators address, to return things.

Src IP is not actually neccessary, in the IP layer. (in theory)
You still cant trust the client here, no matter how precisely synced your clocks are, because it could maliciously reorder events/tamper with time (always claim you activated first, with a certain fudge factor to prevent detection) and it would be undetectable within the bounds of internet latency.

At least Instagram prints money (at the moment anyway). Netflix is almost as insane, but they're the (almost uncontested) leader in global online content distribution at the moment. Tesla is dead last against like 20+ competent profitable industry incumbents.
No, since it would reduce demand from investors.

Look at Japan- their housing is surprisingly affordable in Tokyo despite being in a major city. Due to flexible zoning laws, houses can be built almost anywhere. Houses are deprecating assets, like cars, rather than investments, like houses in America/Canada/etc.
> What does that contribute? That could apply to your idea too, or mine.

It is intellectual over-engineering of cultures. It looks tremendously good on paper.

> This is really an incredibly broad stereotype to paint on hundreds of millions of individuals.
No, it really isn't since Europe is not flooded with Chinese, Americans or Australians but with people with a very low skill set, very different attitude towards violence and women, from tribal societies and with a religion they feel is far superior.

> And who is the parent to judge others and take away their rights?
I am not judging them. I don't even say that their culture is inferior. If an industrialized society breaks down (think Mad Max if you want) they are in a far superior position. The question is: If women should have no rights, if you have the best religion, if you want to bury gay people alive, why not stay in your home country?

By the way, I am just visiting Romania. Romania is willing to take refuges but refuges are not willing to take Romania. Why? No living on welfare...
Reducing Union power probably counts as "stacking against workers," as does a minimum wage that is not enough to actually live on. But there are much deeper injustices.

The zip code you're born in predicts future success better than any other attribute, including IQ!

If your parents can take you in when your business attempt falls, you're in a different world than of your parents are a single mother of three, through no fault of your own.

Aristocracy is hereditary, always has been, seems to remain that way. This, is what "stacked" really means.

Whether you think this is actually bad for America or not is a different question.
It’s not defeatist at all. Empiricism derives truth from sensory experiences, which are by definition subjective. Rationalism derives truth from logic, and all statements in logic are constrained from discovering universal truth by the munchausen trilemma.

I think what you’re talking about would be better described as a personal truth, which _is_ a leap of faith.

One big problem with high density affordable housing in CA is that the building codes for apartments are substantially weaker than for condos.

In particular, apartments have much lower sound proofing standards.

I guess the local politicians don’t realize that poor people (and millennial engineers) also need to sleep.
Yes, this is what I'm concerned about as well. We've entered another gilded age, with skyrocketing inequality. Some argue that's fine so long as all boats are rising. But with incredible wealth disparities come political power disparities, and I don't think it makes sense to acquiesce to relative marginalization even if in an absolute sense things are improving.
I got one of these wood/pellet/gas fired Uuni ovens and can highly recommend it for pizza aficionados. Reasonably priced too

https://uuni.net/

I use wood kindling or pellets for the fire - it gets hot enough in 10 mins. For the dough I use 00 (fine) flour, and depending on time I might prove the dough for 3-4 nights in the fridge.

Possibly the best cooking tool I've bought.
I think it's hard to find an objective measure, given that there are so many franchise fans that solid sales are basically a given - I wouldn't expect to see the consequences play out until D4.

That said, the fact that they rebuilt the absolute core gameplay loop - loot collection - to incorporate a real-money auction house, and had to roll it back, speaks volumes. Business-people do not abandon a monetization strategy unless it's proving to be costly in unintended ways.
I switched back to Flickr when SmugMug bought them and 500px killed their API. The switch was a little harder to accomplish because I was planning to use the API to grab the originals I'd pushed to 500px and since archived, but I'm glad for it now. I guess this was the push I needed to move off the platform altogether.

One of the things I prioritise when picking a platform is answering the question "how easy is it to leave?". Flickr still seems pretty easy to leave if it comes to it.
