Isn't global inequality decreasing though? Isn't extreme poverty decreasing? https://ourworldindata.org/global-economic-inequality

People tend to only care about the inequality where they stand the most to gain. Most US citizens would benefit from wealth redistribution in US, but unhappy with a global redistribution since they would average down.

In some ways globalization is causing both increasing economic equality for labor and increasing inequality for capital providers.
No I'm not saying that, not sure why you made that leap.

_This_ is why I linked to my undefined behavior post. Your comment is about as clear an example of being in the semi-portable camp as any I've seen. And I'm not blaming you, because in C you _can't_ do SIMD in the standard camp, so it's actually one of the more compelling reasons to remain in semi-portable. Rust is different though.

Also: the linked crate does use the type system in pretty much this way so that code that clients can be safe. However, there are limitations; it's not just whether a particular instruction can be used, which remains immutable once it's detected, but also which _registers_ (and, by extension, calling convention) can be used. That varies from function to function, and requires the `#[target_feature(enable)]` annotation to control, so just having an `Avx` type in hand is not quite enough to ensure that you're in a context where using the ymm registers is ok, and the intrinsic will be inlined to a "V" variant asm instruction. This is discussed in some detail in the "caveats" section.
I haven't "scoped it" that way, the parent poster of my answer did it so:

"Someone would need my apple id, my password, access to one of my apple devices (I had to enter a code that appeared on one of my devices), and access to my email." Note: "someone would need my" -- as in "an attacker", not "me as the owner of the device."

And the answer, supported by the Elcomsoft's article is, no, the attacker just needs the device and the passcode. Nothing more. Since iOS 11, everything else he can extract from that.

It's not the same conflict of interest, but of a different class.

It's all about managing future expectations. Equity implies future profits being predicated on the success of the stock. And so current actions are influenced by future expectations.

A wheelbarrow of Free Cash Today does not imply anything about future expectations, unless you may be expecting another wheelbarrow in the future.

Still, it's common in practice for people to feel like they are indebted to their donors. But should you feel like you owe someone for them giving you something for free? Well, if so, then it wasn't free.

In fact Trudeau will win re-election this way. The carbon tax will be combined with a massive taxpayer credit. People will experience a modest increase in gas prices, but receive a cheque from “Government of Canada” for hundreds of dollars at just the right time in the election cycle. It’s a shrewd, shrewd move.
Or maybe some of us think Elon Musk is a bit of a wanker and noticed that the numbers didn't look good. It really can be as simple as that.
I'm sure it depends on the dog's hair, our dogs shed short ~1/2 inch long white hairs that end up all over the place. The Roomba (some mid-range $300 unit) runs every other day (one day downstairs, the next day upstairs) and does a good job of getting the hair out of the carpet. The bin is always full of dog hair and lint.

It hasn't completely replaced the regular vacuum, but we can run it much less frequently (like every other week instead of every other day).

This would be a great problem for Tesla to have and a signal for them to simply build more stations/partnerships. It reminds me of great the Yogi Berra quote: "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded."
Agreed, and locating them at dealers is often an impractical choice for drivers: they are not consistently located strategically next to highways, sometimes they put them in an area that is not physically accessible outside of business hours (e.g., fenced yard), and the incentive to maintain them is less.
it really depends on how much you make and what your cost of living is. In many situations that extra cash is a life changing difference.
Also T1.

To greatly simplify, T2 is a matter of insulin resistance. The pancreas continues to produce insulin, it's just that the insulin produced becomes inefficient and an outside intervention such as medicine or exogenous insulin is needed. In terms of medicine, Metformin is one that's commonly prescribed. Again, to simplify, it basically makes the liver pump out less glucose into the bloodstream. It's actually considered a wonder drug (look up Metformin and longevity, makes you think...).
Generally, after a certain period, if done right, the T2 person will no longer require the meds and can be considered cured.

I'm not sure if pancreas can overwork itself to death by producing too much insulin. If it's not damaged by the autoimmune system it should be able to recover.

You may not have to pay for it all yourself. Imagine your neighbors or friends get together to buy or rent the robot. The robot is privileged by your home security system to enter if it is by itself or with individuals that have equal or higher privileges. Your home computer knows your schedule and when you're away. When it's convenient or needed your home schedules a visit from the cleaning robot, possibly transported by autonomous vehicles, and it arrives and performs appropriate cleaning.

If the robot is humanoid or not is beside the point. It may be an expensive robot, but if it lasts years, and can service many households, it becomes affordable.

A 500,000 dollar robot, if it lasts a decade, and can service ten or twenty households is between 2,500 and 5,000 a year, 200-400 dollars a month plus maintenance and travel? It's not inconceivable. If it has 100 operational hours a week it could spend 5-10 hours at your house cleaning a week.

I'm not familiar enough with the price of house cleaning services to know if this a good deal or not. But if that first cost falls from 500,000 to 100,000 or 50,000 then surely this starts to be a great deal.
What about an organization which

1) Maintains a membership list
2) Maintains a list of software which is signed off on by members
3) Browser/OS/etc utilities which refuse and/or warn when trying to run software not in the registry
4) Member expulsion if registered software is found to be nefarious

This is basically the system Apple/Microsoft/Debian/etc/etc already use for official software distribution. We just need the organization to move out of their walled gardens.

The big leak here is users which have to use resources they don't control. I can imagine an IaaS company which won't run software unless its in the registry, and then companies can boast that your data is 'safe' (or at least not nefarious) because they run in this kind of environment.

On GCC-like compilers, you could just use inline assembly. That definitely won’t get rewritten into some other instruction sequence, and it can handle things like register allocation and loads/stores for you. Downsides include that the compiler won’t be able to estimate instruction timings, the ease of screwing up the input/output notation, and that MSVC doesn’t support inline assembly on x64 at all.
SQLite doesn't really have concepts like replication (HA) or concurrent writers.

Notably, the SQLite website is (as far as I can see) read-only. So it's great if all you need is a SQL read API atop your structured data (and 100k hits/day is probably only limited by the filesystem/os since SQLite isn't a server). But you're setting yourself up for headaches by using SQLite if you need simultaneous read/writes combined with HA.
I wrote a review (https://ayesh.me/amazon-lightsail-review) of Lightsail when it came out. Although the specs are ok in paper, their Network is slow. I still would like to switch to Lightsail because I already use Route53 and CloudFront, but I wouldn't go with them for their Network speeds.

I don't see rural and middle America crying out for more immigrants of any type. They won't be complaining, and it isn't proper to complain on their behalf due to whatever you judge to be best for them.

That leaves nobody to complain.

If you insist on deciding what is best for rural and middle America, I sure hope you don't object when they return the favor, deciding on your behalf that cities would be best off without any immigration.
Tourists, yes, but to a large extent internal tourism due to the tradition of bringing back regional snacks for friends, family and coworkers. If you visit the gift shops along the highways in Japan they are stacked high with kitkat boxes of the local specialty flavours.
Watching high-level tetris does nothing to improve your own tetris skill.

Chess is...a great spectator sport

Hmm yeah well...Watching someone think for 30 minutes about a move isn't that thrilling. Not uncommonly, both players will be away from the board at the same time. Most big tournaments seem to have hardly anyone actually going to them now - the experience of watching online with expert commentators is so much better. Even if you watch live in the room, you're looking at big screens on the wall, not the actual board.

Having said that, chess is the only game/sport I follow these days, I love watching tournaments and matches with commentary online, and analysis videos, banter blitz (grandmaster plays the public online while speaking their thoughts), chess lectures etc. I used to play a lot (it's extremely addictive) but gave up recently - playing (and peoples' behaviour online) can be quite disturbing, but watching is 100% enjoyable. I try to watch in Spanish when possible to improve my Spanish at the same time!

To be fair, they're talking about Kahneman's '79 research and then talking about how they build on top of that. I guess yours maybe could be modeled as the inverse planning fallacy - you hold over-pessimistic beliefs about the ease of the task. This happens to me too: e.g. when I don't call the bank to do something because I think I'm going to be on the phone for forever, and when I finally get around to doing it it really only takes 5. So perhaps the model could accommodate that, but I'll admit to having skimmed a bit and closed the page. I agree with your sentiment though!
The reason Apple moved to the USB-C charging on the MacBook is because it no longer served the purpose it was originally for. Older MacBooks and MacBook pros were a bit bulky and heavy. Tripping on a MagSafe charger cord connected to one of these would disconnect because the friction of the laptop on its its surface was stronger than that of the magnetic pull of the MagSafe connector.

With the new Macook, however, I believe it was much lighter to the point that it would have pulled the laptop down with it upon someone tripping on the cord. It wasn't doing anything to benefit the user at that point. Because of this, they probably opted for a slimmer charging port (USB-C), and it went well with the growing use of USB-C in the industry.

I do wish they included more USB-C ports, however.

I do not know exactly the reason they opted for USB-C in the new MacBook Pro, however. I believe it would still be heavy enough for MagSafe to be effective. However at this point, USB-C is saturating the market and consolidation in their products may be a more important issue for Apple at this point.
Well, you said that people don't get to choose the pronouns that other people refer to them by, and the reason that people can do this with names but not pronouns is because pronouns are a syntactic construct.

Thus, when people misgendered me as a child because they mistook me for a girl, it seems to follow that you're asserting that I shouldn't have corrected them because a pronoun is a syntactic construct and I don't get to choose what pronoun they use to refer to me by, regardless of how I personally identify. I can correct them if they mispronounce my name, but not if they mistake me for a girl.

If that's not what you're saying, then I guess I don't understand your position.

I think that if we're going to have a full blown typed RPC system, we need to at least be able to represent generics/parametric polymorphism. As far as I know, protobufs do not support this feature! Why are we settling for using a subpar interchange format when the alternative (polymorphic sum types) is so much better?

Hi, please check if my response to the parent (and other responses in the thread) answer your questions.

As for your individual carbon profile, there are many calculators out there that can help you decide how much to offset. I am sure we will work in this area to help you determine your level, but for an intense calculation that you'll need to pull out your electricity bills of check the Resurgence one: https://www.resurgence.org/resources/carbon-calculator.html
This one is good as well https://www.carbonfootprint.com/calculator.aspx

Once that is added up you would be able to purchase your CO2 equivlanet output in olivine with this fomrula (CO2 output in tons)/1.25 (quantity of carbon sequestered per ton of olivine)

Our plan is to fund the fixed costs of the beach and operations through larger scale donations and sponsorships so that 100% of your money goes directly to tons of olivine on the beach and not administrative BS.

Net carbon sequestration:

The CO2 expenditure of the whole operation, including mining, milling, and transport, has been calculated to be about 4% of the amount of CO2 that is captured by the olivine.

Environmental concerns:

"The ecological considerations should be made carefully. Let's look at some examples though, if we were to offset 100% of the next 100 years of anthropogenic CO2 emissions with olivine, it would only change the Mg-concentration of the ocean from something like 1296 to 1296.8 ppm and the bicarbonate content from 42 to 45 ppm. These changes are considered within the normal range of ocean water.
Most of the ocean though is experiencing catastrophic increases in ph and need some sort of anti-acid, which is what is amazing about the reaction from olivine. It almost sounds too good to be true, but the resulting solution from the reaction is alkaline. Its addition to the water actually deacidifies the ocean in the local area.

Further, one of the breakdown products in the reaction is silicate, which is a limiting factor for diatoms. Diatoms are particularly hit hard by climate change and are important in the base of the food chain. Diatoms provide food for the entire ecosystem from fish and birds. Diatoms themselves may also actually be responsible for moving significant amounts of biomass to the deep ocean as they sink (further reducing CO2). They also compete with dinoflagellates, which are the cause of red tides and could be useful in stemming their increased occurrence by counterbalancing their rapidly increasing populations.

That said, you are right that the addition of olivine should be carefully considered, especially for specific areas. We know already to avoid areas that are adapted to acid conditions, such as peatlands, because increased alkalinity could accelerate the breakdown of peat and speedup methane release.
The report cited in the article by Mijente, the National Immigration Project, and the Immigrant Defense Project definitely has an agenda of its own and does not like the Trump administration one bit. Saying it's part of a "larger white supremacist project" is a bold statement.

A shortage of skilled citizens is another way of saying costly labor. Better access for US citizens to universities and healthcare will not be gained by importing ever cheaper highly skilled labor, especially labor that like you is here to take what they can, selfishly, before they jump ship.

Had no idea that shoemaker was burried on a moon.
I attended some lectures by Rodney Brooks - and I similarly had my mind blown. Over a few lectures he covered a wide variety of research, much of it for 3-letter organizations and it included his development of "scurrying" robots with multiple sensors and multiple actuators. Of course, much of it was subsumption architecture - still an interesting topic. He also talked about how he was trying to find a use for his robotic prototypes, and was creating a company to release a product. (So I guess this is yet another case of government investments resulting directly in privatized profit. Pretty typical - though many seem to want to deny it.)

Which actor model are you talking about? The variants are very different and Hewitt's original paper is mainly referenced for coming up with the name rather and kicking off the field than inventing a usable model.

Type theory is even vaster. Are we talking homotopy type theory? Calculus of constructions? System F?

Originally you asked "is 54.55 ms perceptable?", I say yes. I can tell the difference between 25 ms and 1 ms in my terminal.

That said, I don't think it is worth trying to reduce your startup time to the point where you can't tell the computer took time. Getting "the user [to] feel that the system is reacting instantaneously" is a different and more important goal.

I don't believe it's about saving money, because the savings over cubicles are too small to be worth the risk of reduced productivity. The more plausible explanation is that private workspaces signal high social status, and managers prefer their subordinates to look obviously inferior.
