It is so much easier for a casual fan of history to learn about Rome than most other areas. For an example of this, browse the history audiobook section someplace like Audible.

I remember looking for books on the history of Japan a while ago there. Fifty books about the glorious defeat of Japan in WWII, a few hour long books on their complete history, and a great courses lecture series.

Why have countries that have generous paternity and maternity leave implemented it by obliging companies to pay the salary for the duration, as opposed to the government paying for it?

Are there any counterexamples of countries where the state picks up the bill?

That seems to me to be a much better policy, you avoid obvious perverse incentives like a small company not wanting to hire a woman in her late 20s because she might get pregnant, and that's going to be a huge expense.

I think it makes sense as a social policy to have generous leave after people have children, but it seems ridiculous to implement it like this.

If the state paid for it you'd get other perverse incentives, since they'd be obligated to pay a salary determined by some private company, but fraud there should be easy to control for, e.g. you get paid the mean salary you earned for the last N years, not what you happened to be earning the day you had a child.
I don't think it is released. You might want to look at LowRisc tagged ISA stuff that has been released, Shakti and LowRisc will work together on some of that. You can boot that on FPGA.

However the Rust based OK is not there yet so far as I know.
I was discussing this with someone involved with the project and it comes down to wanting to handle only 32 bit instructions (RVC instructions are 16 bit; other RISC-V extensions can have > 32 bit instructions, although of course if you don't support any of those extensions then you don't have to deal with it). This is a simplifying assumption in the decoder element in their pipeline.

RISC-V does allow you to define other extensions in a methodical and detectable way, and we intend to detect those at runtime (as you would, for example, with something like AES-NI or AVX on Intel). However RVC impacts every bit of compiled code so there's no way to deal with it at runtime (something like that would make all binaries much bigger and would greatly complicate the toolchain).
Given the problems with plastic waste how can anyone justify individually wrapped cheese slices? (Constructive answers only please. I am genuinely interested in seeing if there are any arguments in favour.)
To be honest, if you're willing to have a kid while unwilling to leave work aside for your kid, that's just plain old bad parenting and IDGAF if it's "authoritarian".

I care about your kid being raised properly, because I don't want to deal with a criminal 20 years from now. That's why I happily pay taxes for education, less problems for me later even if I don't have kids.
R is probably the best, most productive DSL that exists for data analysis work, but it is a horrible programming language, made worse by the fact that I don't think most of its users think of what they're doing as programming. I've never seen an R project that looked like it had learned anything from software engineering best practice of literally any period in history. Your data is flat, your script starts at the top and runs to the bottom. There are rarely any abstractions.

One thing that gives me hope here is that an increasing number of universities have dedicated Research Software Engineering groups who can explicitly apply their expertise (mostly in performance but often just in writing better software) to the problems being approached by academics. But I've yet to see most computer science adjacent courses (including the plethora of new Data Science courses in the last few years) explicitly tackle software engineering as a valuable discipline.

All that said, the R ecosystem is fantastic and you're wasting time turning your nose up at it. I had hoped Incanter would take off in the Clojure world but it did not. Lately I have been lucky enough to be able to confine my needs to Bayadera, a framework for Bayesian data analysis in Clojure. But I think the grand hopes of Lisp becoming a first class language for data analysis will always fall by the wayside - Lisp people (outside of myself) are smart enough to fulfil their own needs, and you don't have the conveyor belt of new algorithms that R gets from academia (and indeed Python gets from the same place, and increasingly from industry giants).

"he couldn't keep his short, fat fingers from a big red button he couldn't read the label for."

I am pretty sure neither Trump nor any previous presidents were never given that power. That briefcase is just a necessary prop used to build his image of most powerful human being around, but either it doesn't work or, if it does, before the red button pressed signal turns into an attack order it goes through some deep technical error checking and human approval list. That is the same reason there are two pilots on airliners (especially after Germanwings flight 9525): humans can go nuts, even best trained ones although rarely, but if they do with a nuclear button at hand the outcome can be catastrophic.
That's more likely the risk in much smaller countries when they develop the technology necessary to build atomic weaponry, which - though I'm against them on principle - is probably the reason why a very small number of nukes can be still useful as a deterrent.
But on a world size scale, today IMO atomic war should be the least of our concerns.
Correct. There's a belief at the very top of these schools that they only want so many people leading one-dimensional lives focused on entering upper middle class trades like law and medicine.
That's pretty awesome, and I like that there are people still doing interesting stuff with Quake.

> Then the only way to reconcile it is to have the government pay.

My point was that this only goes part of the way: even if the leave is publicly funded it can be very expensive for the employer when a parent leaves. Just because you don’t pay salary while the parent is away, doesn’t mean it’s free for the employer.

To mitigate that causing discrimination you’d need to go further. One example is a system that also compensated the employer (pays for the inconvenience and extra cost of finding a temp etc).

Another way that you mentioned is ensuring that men and women take equal amounts of leave, and that is happening in some places. Me and my wife got 400+ paid days to share but part of it is reserved for each parent and can’t be transferred. Currently that’s 60 of the days, but there have been voices calling for making the program individual, ie having ~200 non-transferable days for each parent. This is a tradeoff between families’ right to choose and gender equality, and so far the former has outweighed the latter, so it has not been split.

> equal male leave wouldn't solve the problem because they don't take it

That’s a chicken and egg problem. Once there is a large generous system in place, norms change.
The most common case here is that the mother is home 8-12 months and the father then the following 4-6 months (because obviously breastfeeding is pretty convenient to do without bottling for the first months etc. so it’s nearly invariably the mother who goes first). If the program was individual/split I’m 100% sure that the leaves would also be very close to equal per parent. Both parents do take long leaves, as it’s not quite socially acceptable not to, and it’s accepted by employers (often encouraged) to do so, for both men and women. This is of course an effect of having the generous leave. If you can get paid leave, and your employer supports you leaving (or worst case at least can’t stop you) - then aren’t you a bad parent for choosing not to take the leave? That’s the status of it, more or less.
The Times's highly inaccurate coverage of the Russian Revolution was an inspiration for Walter Lippmann's commentary on improving media accuracy, in the first decades of the 20th century:

The analysis shows how seriously misleading was the Times by its reliance on the offical purveyors of information. It indicates that statements of fact emanating from governments and the circles around governments cannot be taken as judgements of fact by an independent press. They indicate opinion, they are controlled by special purpose, and they are not trustworthy news.

Even more problematic than official sources, the authors continue, are the semi-official anyomous reports often relied upon.

All the more reason to shun official Information Ministers and Spokesmen, press briefings, and the like.

The quote comes from "A Test of the News", the researchers were Walter Lippman and Charles Merz, the publication The New Republic, and the date, August 4, 1920.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.

Coinbase seems to already do this to a degree. If you transfer to a flagged address your account is banned with zero explanation or recourse. This will likely be the norm going forward for any reputable exchange.
In isolation, it's probably not, but most of the compute-intensive researchers I know also have a need for a reasonably powerful laptop anyway. From there, it's not a particularly expensive hop to getting desktop-grade performance at your desk without needing an entire different machine. That, for me, is where the eGPU value proposition makes sense.

R isnt good in many respects, but it can run most statistical models.

Get back to me when your language of the day has a package to easily run blundell bond type dynamic panels with different iv and gmm estimators, cause that is what R can do.

Until then, stop wasting my time comparing a useful toolkit for a specific thing with some arbitrary language the day that us used by two people and has never solved a real life problem ever.

And give me my five minutes back.

> sequential hashes, with each subsequent hash also including the previous one

Isn't this "in principal" what a blockchain is? Just because they didn't call it a blockchain back then doesn't mean it isn't.

You could also consider Git to be a blockchain of sorts.

What distinguishes Bitcoin in particular is proof of work which provides a means by which distributed untrusted actors can transact in a trusted way. The actual chain of hashes just records these transactions.
>I’ve long thought that as we add code and dependencies to systems we approach biological levels of complexity.

According to Taleb: complexity is good for system reliability in the long term. (As well as redundancy in every aspect like head count, components count, technology stacks used in the same system) to mimic biological complexity.

But I strive to make everything as simple as possible, remove unnecessary components, etc.

I still cant understand contexts where complex is better than simple

I was about 6 or 7 years old, and the home computer wasn't much of a thing back then, and the 12 year old kid next door got a 386 DX, which was a huge deal, and he kept it in his bedroom! Lucky guy.

Anyway, his Dad loaded it up with some DOS games, which I would go over and watch him play. He would play Prince of Persia and let me watch. I would occasionally ask him if I could have a go.

He said I could only play if the TURBO button was set to OFF. I asked why and he said that it was to "save electricity". I would play PRINCE.EXE at a snails pace until he kicked me off, me being the determined kid from a non-computer owning household.

The upside is that their family had a cat (which was albino, deaf as a post, and eccentric as heck). They wouldn't let the cat inside (maybe to save on electricity) and the cat adopted us because we let it in. They moved and we kept the cat.
Definitely. However retro hobbyists fall into two camps, those that are happy to emulate, and those that aren't.

Correlation does not equal causation. People who generally eat less fruit are people who usually ignore health advice in general, and would replace fruit with stuff like sugar or carbs. Eating too much fruit gives an overload of fructose, which also triggers an insulin response.

If you eat the right meats, like liver, you get more vitamins and minerals then you would from fruit. So if you know what you are eating, it's fine to cut off fruit.
Heh I had many computers with turbo buttons, including a few Pentium II slot processor machines. Oh man, slot processors. Slot 1 was so weird.
Stupid thing is. As long as the US still positions itself as nuclear force and world police there will always be other states that try to hold against this force.

Even personally I feel saver knowing other countries are able to defend them self, making it less likely to end up as collateral damage for the US democratisation process.

The charge still lasts 3-4 days with a moderate amount of texting and it's built like a tank.

My only complaint is only allows you to save a couple hundred texts and then you need to clear it out but it does have a micro SD card that you can keep in to drastically improve that.

I'm not sure why it's so expensive now. When I got it, it was $25.

I'm sure you could find something better nowadays. That one was released 6-7 years ago according to Google.

Yepp, lots of feedback loops will start kicking in, some of human origin, others of natural origin: ice-free seas absorve more heat than ice-covered seas, for example.
Keep in mind that top 5 US schools are taking a much smaller percentage of a much larger population. They simply can't differentiate on academic performance alone. They generally admit somewhere around 5% of their applicants. Keeping in mind that those applicants are self-selecting, to some degree, thanks to the previously known admit rates and high application fees -- they have to use something else. A professor of mine at Stanford told me that Stanford starts by disqualifying all students that they believe won't make it at Stanford. This leaves them with about 60% of the applications. They then take the academic prodigies out. You know, researched mouse cancer at 14. That's about 1%. Stanford's admit rate was 4.something% last year. Getting that other 3% is a pain for US institutions.
> The solution to these problems IMO is to make maternity leave protected strongly by law, and make paternity leave exactly equivalent. Make no distinction by gender when it comes to maternity and paternity leave.

In Germany, there's the "parental leave" (not maternal or paternal leave) [0]. The time period is 12 months with parental allowance : 2/3rds of your income - 300 to 1800 €. If the mother and father share the parental leave, the leave extends until 14 months. Of course, there are other benefits like child care etc. [1] after the child has grown up.

Exactly.

I know several startup founders who ended up managing their time better by having only one machine for work and one for play -- and the machine for play they kept in a separate room.

It wasn't a capabilities question, it was a mental discipline question. When they went into the other room they mentally switched gears to have some fun and recreation. Over time the physical separation allowed them to separate the goals in their minds as well. The machine or tech had nothing to do with it.

Likewise I've been fortunate to work with some higher-level folks in traditional work in the 90s and 00s. They had their emails printed and read to them. It wasn't because they lacked computer skill. The physical act of requiring that the emails be printed and read to them limited the flow and increased the time they spent considering each reply. By limiting the time they spent on correspondence, it then created a small amount of extremely high-value correspondence where otherwise they could have easily spent all day slacking or whatnot. (I have no idea if that strategy works or not, I was simply fascinated that what originally looked like some kind of weird, old-fashioned luddite philosophy was actually based on increasing quality.)

The physicality of how we accomplish various tasks can have a great amount of impact on how well we do them.

Generally they want a mix of people like that; people skilled in sports, music, various arts; and some people TRULY gifted intellectually (actually doing research or showing strong promise to). They also need to admit enough rich kids to satisfy the annual giving org and make sure enough poor kids and black and latino kids get in to meet liberal/progressive racial goals.
> from a European perspective

Go to Wikipedia and read about the 1960s in the US - Freedom Riders (whites and blacks sitting next to one another on a bus) almost being beaten to death, buses burned, riots on school integration, dogs and firehoses turned on black children, people registering black voters murdered, 4 little girls murdered at a black church by the Klan, civil rights workers and leaders beaten and jailed and murdered and on and on.

Look to the USA currently - before US football games are played the team must stand and salute the USA and the controversies around that, the Black Lives Matter movement and the politician and media hatred of the concept of black lives mattering - which means police killing blacks for no reason. Or the rage against tearing down Confederate statues with inscriptions praising white supremacy like the one in New Orleans. The anti-blacks murdered someone who wanted the Confederate statue in Charlottesville taken down last year - in fact hundreds of Nazis and Klansmen and other far right groups marched there, and the state government and judiciary has blocked the city government from tearing down the statue. Dylan Roof hated blacks and walked into a church murdering blacks.

And on and on. The former African nation enslaved in the US is still an oppressed nation in the US, along with Puerto Ricans, Hawaiians and such.

Africans being represented at Harvard at a level proportional to their population in the US is an anomaly in the existing oppression of Africans on the US, and all this hubbub is an attempt to correct that.
I've seen this first hand. I worked at a product studio that had a few businesses which were costing nothing but generating >$20kUSD per month. I'd set up the business to be as no-ops as possible, so it can basically run itself, reap the profits. Next, take all this other advice and sell, sell, sell yourself to MS/GOOG/AWS.
It’s pretty hard to look past the fact that someone is a woman of fertile age. Asking whether someone is pregnant or planning to have kids in the near future isn’t acceptable, but a persons family status surely comes up in most interviews. I think the best remedy is having public systems to make discrimination unnecessary. With equal and individual parental leaves you at least get rid of the gender bit. With publicly funded sick leave you get rid of most of the incentive not to hire someone with a chronic illness etc.
