And of course C++ harks back to an era where error messages were not considered much of a concern. It took the Clang project for C compilation errors to start improving (including kicking gcc's ass), and C is not the most difficult language to parse/validate.
I, and many others, can definitely do a lot -- but other people have done the math and concluded that we don't amount for anything but a blip in statistics. There is a link in this thread giving the same perspective as well.

I'd like the world to start attacking the source of issues top-to-bottom and not bottom-to-top.

Can the citizens help? Absolutely. Will they amount for much unless corporations start taking action? No.
I had this idea several years ago, but didn't really know how to talk about it. Essentially, if voters can attribute a value (between 0 and 10, let's say) to every candidate they like, then we can see a better picture of who the country likes.

For instance if I want Candidate A to win, I'll give him a 10. But if I'm only half bought into candidate B, I can give them 5, and could give Candidate C nothing because I really don't like them. Now if the rest of the country doesn't like A, and the battle is between B and C, then I'd feel good that I could contribute to the goal.

The actual process is up for remix of course, but that was the idea.
In a highly competitive situation, any value that can be sacrificed to get ahead of the competition will eventually be sacrificed.

Editors cost money. Text without proper editing is worse, but not bad enough to impact readership. Therefore, editors are not needed.

TL;DR: This is a well known technique, but isn't used because the economics don't work out.

This technique looks nearly identical to the technique used to make aluminium from aluminium oxide.

The only difference is it needs to happen much hotter (1500C vs 700C).

The process uses a lot of electricity, so much that it is the main cost of aluminium production.

The process, when used in steelmaking, would use 824.2 kJ/mol of iron(III) oxide, producing 111.6 g/mol of iron. That works out to 7.42 kJ / g, or 2 kwh per kilogram of steel. Price varies widely worldwide, but with the cheapest electricity in europe that works out to about $0.10.[1]

Thats lots of electricity for the refining process, and it seems likley that 0.7kg of coal [2] works out far far cheaper at $0.05 [3].

In Germany we have booklooker.de as a market place for used books. I recently bought an autobiography from there which has out of print for many years. And I found the experience of holding a book in my hand older than myself strangely exciting. That book was printed ten years before I was born. The pages had taken on a yellow shade. Of course I held plenty of really old books in my hand by now. But only then I realized it might become a habit. Especially when there is a choice.

Trust the sources and the quotes - while it is possible (though unethical) to mislead with quotes or data, “There was a strong push not to send anybody in an ambulance" is rather context-independent.

And generally speaking, if it's to the point of multiple articles written on a subject, there's almost certainly a fair amount of truth there.
If you have the smallest superpermutation for N digits, then you can construct a bigger one by adding the extra digit with a simple rule but it won't be the shortest possible.

It just turned out that the conjecture was easily disproved by that simple rule construction.
If there is low demand for something, then there is low production and the production costs are high per unit. High demand will at first push the price up, but if there is ability to scale production of the resource, the price per unit should then come down, as the production costs per unit will drop due to economies of scale.
It's still rather telling that they compare only with the equivalent also off on the AMD chip.

If you want a good, full book on nuclear survival, it's worth checking out Cresson H Kearny's book on it from research at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. I'm not planning on using any of the information, but it's fairly enjoyable to learn about some of the particulars. It's like thinking of how you would survive a zombie apocalypse. It is fairly optimistic about survival if you aren't in the blast radius and is chock full of useful information, including what sort of attacks would be most likely and what to do in each phase. He makes a real point of saying that it wouldn't be the end of the world and is very survivable; people get a much more depressing and fatalistic view sometimes. Cheer up.

Yes, there’s a recursive construction that converts a superpermutation of length l on n symbols to a superpermutation of length l + (n+1)! on (n+1) symbols.

The construction is described in various places online. I like Greg Egan’s description here: http://www.gregegan.net/SCIENCE/Superpermutations/Superpermu...

It’s important to remember that for most of the commercial software, you are not technically the owner because licenses will stipulate that you are merely renting it. So screwdriver analogy technically don’t apply. It’s more like renting a car and company can tell you arbitrarily what you can do or don’t with it.

Another important thing to realize, if we had a magical replicator which duplicated a screw driver precisely with negligible cost, then screw driver industry will end up with exact same licensing models and there’s will be a version of RMS preaching for free screw drivers.

The fundamental issue is not with software or people doing it but the economy. Developing large scale software takes time, capital, risk and lots of people who needs to pay their bills. If one insists that all software must be free then all development needs to occur as free time hobby activity. Licensing and laws evolve to allow for doing things at scale and as dedicated profession and as all evolutions you only approximate the ideal with lots of baggage.

The laws of economy requires that participants must play the zero sum game and therefore parts of software deemed as competitive advantage would have to be kept secret or uncopiable by creating law. The solution for scaling and dreams of things being free are incompatible with each other. This is the hard lesson to learn, very much like Gödel’s realization.

I'm certainly no expert in the matter but couldn't this be constrained in other dimensions rather than availability of the source material. For example capital requirements of whatever extraction / purification steps are required vs the global demand. Therefore increasing demand could cause investment which increases supply?

That said, if Fusion power ever becomes a reality I hope it doesn't depend on some difficult to source material.
It's not entirely correct to remove query parameters from the URL. Query parameters are part of the URL and can make a website show entirely different content.

The Googlebot for example considers these two URL's different pages:

/mypage?name=name1
/mypage?name=name2
1) Open inspector
2) Go to <body> tag
3) Uncheck "font-weight: 300;"

But why I have to do this...
True, but in resource production, that rarely is what dominates. The problem is that, as you try to produce more, you're having to process ore that has lower and lower concentrations of whatever you're trying to extract. You can get a more efficient facility if you have the volume, but the lower concentration (usually) dominates, and so the cost goes up rather than down.

I was goal-driven and discontent until the pressures of new fatherhood forced me to pause. After a few years when the kids got a little bit easier and I had no real active goals to work towards I felt content (and even happy) for the first time since I became an adult.

The TV pickup problem, while valid, unjustly shifts the blame.

The regular citizens have put the work to buy the TV device, and continue to put the work daily so they can pay the power and cable bills.

What else would you have them do? They work hard and maybe the TV is their way to unwind. Why, again, is the citizens' fault for putting the work needed to buy their entertainment device and then making them feel guilty for using it?

I pay electrical bills. In my eyes I do my part of the bargain, the rest is their problem -- that's what we pay for, to get a stable service while they sort out the details. A fair business transaction.

Perhaps fine for a large less densely populated country and small scale attacks.

Somewhere like the UK in the early 1980s facing a realistic Soviet attack (e.g. the one that almost happened in Autumn '83) then almost all of the people in this country would have been in serious trouble with little prospect for long term survival.

NB The UK government was always rather more "realistic" about the actual impact of a war than the US.
> People are severely discouraged from using ER for any concern that doesn't require an immediate action

There's a conflict right now in Germany, as many people turn to the ERs instead of primary care practitioners or specialized doctors (e.g. urologists), as for ordinary people it's next to impossible to get a timely appointment.

This, again, has the reason that specialized practices reserve the "timely" slots for higher paying privately insured patients, and that the distribution of general practitioners as well as their supply is a bit... mismanaged, leading to either the practices not being open at times when people are not working (in contrast to a 24/7 ER) or horribly overcrowded.
>Never in my life, not once, have I seen citizens voting actually change anything of significance in a country

> Is teaching meaningless? I mean, why do it, when you're not going to be around when people you teach will run things.

You might be underestimating how much personal benefit a selfish materialist can wring out of teaching people things.

I, for example, love teaching people basically anything I know. To the point where I'm probably unhelpful. There have been numerous instances where there is a skill gap between me and someone else that I have closed and benefited greatly from closing. Usually this is in academic and workplace settings, but I suspect most parents would also see this dynamic. It also works socially when they return the favour and find some interesting idea for me in return at a later time.

If they don't follow my advice, that is often even better for me in the medium-long term because it suggests my advice is bad and I get an opportunity to correct my mistakes and misconceptions.

One of the most fortunate outcomes of the modern era is the more you want to maximise your own material success, the more advantage you can get from maximising the ability and resources available to those around you. I've been led to believe that a sample of most serious leadership groups will pick up an unusually high concentration of clever sociopaths - I suspect at least some of them will be excellent leaders because they figured this little factoid out.

The scenario is extremely different from someone asking me to give up driving because someone else will hypothetically benefit. As an interesting anecdata, I gave up driving because of economic and safety concerns, which are far more convincing to me personally.
So? The Republicans are a far-right extremist party by Western standards, the Democrats are centrists at best and center-left at worst. If you want to complain about the political landscape in the US, start by criticizing the electoral system that is heavily biased to a strict two-party system.

If it was all CAs by default, but then allowed you to remove the ones you didn't trust, then that would help a lot. Then the vast majority of users will be going with the browser recommended CAs, but advanced users can customize. If there was a distribution format for experts to "vote/warn" on which CAs are trusted, then you could subscribe to their lists with a common configuration of (Trusted by All, Trusted by At Least One, Not Warned By Any, Not Warned by All). That way you could get updates automatically from your favorite experts. We often outsource things like reviewing all the advisories in this way. Now we just need someone to develop this in. Could it be done as an extension?

"Even more extremism"? Trump dropped the dogwhistling and euphemisms for outright bigotry. That was unthinkable because it was supposed to be political suicide. Yet Republicans are entirely unmoved by it.

That's literally the reasoning Jewish moderates used in the 30s: take the moral high ground so people will realise the nazis are the bad guys. That never works. Not if the opponent values the ends over playing by the rules.
