I worked for a company in the 1990s which had previously had a very bad experience purchasing custom software, and as a consequence had formally restricted the delegation of authority to business unit leaders to specifically exclude ANY software purchases. As a consequence, if one of my team needed a Microsoft Word license, it had to go all the way to the Board of Directors - and it only got there if the CEO believed it was important.
I have not read the whole strategy, just skimmed it.

I think one of the biggest problem of Germanies strategy (and the EU as a whole) is not trying to reach a critical mass (of researchers etc.) somewhere. You need a lot of ingredients for a center to suceed. Really good research, a lot of students, enterpreneus, funding for startups and strong industrial players.

I really liked the ELLIS-proposal. That should be the way to go. A concentrated effort with one big brand with a single hub in each (Ellis-)member state. Something that's recognizable.

12 centers are way too much for germany. I think 6 would be the absolute maximum, with 3-4 the optimal, realistic number (for example: Munich, Aachen, Karlsruhe, Tübingen). Then you could create some "applied ML" centers to distribute it further.

It's the same with the university excellence-strategy. 57 clusters are way too much. A tiered, more fluid system would be way better in my opinion, with a few "very excellent" universites, but also a way to build a profile and a way to establish key research-areas for the rest.

If you divide a sizable budget (and it's even not that sizable!) often enough, you end up with nothing. And germany always does that.

(Off-topic) I always see these big numbers from china, but I don't see any results in actual research yet. I have only come across a few papers from chinese universites and they were consistently not very good.
Hmm, hours is weird and beyond my limits but many restaurants serve quite good ramen many enjoy.
Thanks for the observation. I've tried to edit the original command for clarity.
1. Is probably a lot more desirable than the smartphone OS looking like trash, requiring a reboot. iOS has suffered epidemics of people trolling by sending out messages that crash processes on other's phones.

2. Since this has happened several times at this point, the point is moot. Since this is familiar territory, why not log it and have the system tell HQ something weird happened?

3. May have been true in the past. Very doubtful at this point.

4. Irrelevant. The process can have the UI, crash, then be restarted by the other process. There is no validation done by the other process. The 2nd process only detects that the 1st process has crashed, then removes the offending datum from the queue.

This is how a HMO works in the US and they are very popular due to lower costs than health insurance plans that allows you to go to any doctor/hospital of your choice. My experience with Kaiser in California is that they also provide better service in general, but sometimes don't have the specialty services you might need in their system.
Supply side economics dominates. There is no such thing as authentic demand.
The one that made it click for me as incredibly useful was Avogrado's Law (now part of the Ideal Gas Law):

> Equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules.

This law, for example, explains why hot air rises. Take two equal quanties of the same gas at the same pressure. They will have the same volume. Now, heat one quantity of gas. By this law, that gas will have a larger volume at the same pressure. Because it has the same amount of mass distributed over a larger volume, it must be less dense. Therefore, it rises.
> You have someone in a clinic, or on a table, groaning about how it hurts even though there's nothing, objectively, wrong with them. What do you do?

In practice, living the years I have with my wife, the answer seems to usually be "assume that you, as a doctor, have much more knowledge about your patient's experience and that because no test you know how to do dings 'yep, a problem', that the patient in fact _does not_ have a problem, that their claims of being in enough pain to want to die at least a few times a week are made-up, that they've lived this long with their 'must be just in their head' problem that surely it's not so bad and they can keep doing so".

From a purely probabilistic standpoint, they might be right.

From my wife's perspective, they are torturing her, hopefully not to death.

If you detect a stealth agenda between the lines, it's not your imagination. From wikipedia: First Things is an ecumenical, conservative and, in some views, neoconservative[1][2][3][4][5] religious journal aimed at "advanc[ing] a religiously informed public philosophy for the ordering of society".[6] The magazine, which focuses on theology, liturgy, church history, religious history, culture, education, society and politics, is inter-denominational and inter-religious, representing a broad intellectual tradition of Christian and Jewish critique of contemporary society.

It is still not apparent to me. Is a kilogram of something now it's joules x seconds or something? Does the kilogram now vary depending on what the kilogram is of? Like, is a kilogram of Iron a different mass from a kilogram of Aluminum?

>The kilogram, symbol kg, is the SI unit of mass. It is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.62607015×10−34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m2⋅s−1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ΔνCs.

So mass is now some sort of length times a given elapsed time?

Sure. I don't think one implies the other, personally.

> An interesting question is which complements are suitable for implementation in these languages?

Rust can be used to do anything C can do, with some small exceptions like "support 1970s hardware" or some practical exceptions like "this proprietary chip comes with a c compiler only" or "there's no port to my platform yet even if there could be."

Why should there be any separation between science and daily life?

Think about it not for the benefit of the current generation who would be forced to burden the switch, but for the next generation who could reap the benefits.

I think one issue is that by growing up with US units and then using a second system for science and engineering, it can make American students studying those topics feel like they are in an unfamiliar territory and interfere with their intuition. Most will eventually overcome this through practice and become fluent in both systems, but it's still a barrier. Science becomes a Special Discipline requiring Special Language different than what your family uses at home. Like if all science were still done in French or Latin, and you needed to study those to read a paper.

Until you have met people who grew up abroad measuring their height in cm and their weight in kg, preparing food from recipes listing ingredients in grams and mL, to whom those units are completely natural for daily life and are also the same ones they use at work when designing machines and filling test tubes, it's easy to feel that US units simply "are" the units suitable for daily life, as though that were a universal truth and not just a local cultural oddity.

Not to mention the massive net costs of having suppliers worldwide making extra sets of almost identically sized components that nonetheless aren't interoperable. Screws with 3 mm and 3.175 mm diameter, etc.

His opinion about what's best probably could be argued with.

However, there are lots of definitely mediocre restaurants out there that would not make it to anyone's top ten list. So I'd have every reason to visit a restaurant on this sort of list as opposed to visiting a restaurant at random.

Personally, I'm OK with either grilled or raw onions (though I prefer raw). But there are lots of characteristics with few if any fans - soggy, overdone, cooked lettuce, etc.

The big thing is most restaurants don't have any reason to work at being good not to mention great. Most restaurants just soak up whoever happens to be in the area and has a preference for their type of food and so mediocrity not pretending to be anything else rules. Good-enough food at a good-enough price to make the owner a good-enough profit is it.

Assembling a set of false dichotomies (capitalism vs taxes), stereotypes, over-generalizations, and outright fabrications (company-issued container homes) into an extended non-sequitir and caricature proves nothing, other than your non-constructive intent.

But this much I'll give you: it's easy to take all your rage and craft it into a diatribe targeted at a scapegoat.

> they don't have to see as many homeless

Would you want to have people suffering through homelessness in the place you live? There are only a few options for dealing with it humanely, and they do involve spending money. Otherwise, you are suggesting leaving the problem as it is, or doing inhumane things to deal with it.

Yes, the monopoly argument depends on believing that somehow, even though there were these absurdly high profit margins from simply carrying a different good, no grocer other than WF or WO will ever recognize that for eternity, because, over the short time intervals that one study looked at, they never switched to carrying the goods, despite it being trivial for them to add or remove product lines for their stores, and there definitely not being monopoly power responsive for this choice further upstream.

It's just not a good argument, nor does it refute that this "counterfactual competition" does, normally, in practice, keep vendors from charging excess profit margins; nor does it contradict the long history of sellers entering abandoned markets thinking they'll be the only one, only to face competition shortly thereafter.
This feels like a complete "no shit"
They need to introduce a 'Local VIP' card. Basically if you are regular you get a card; if you aren't a regular they recognized and you are a semi-regular local, you show your drivers license and they can decide if you warrant a local VIP card.

If this doesn't solve it, then raise the price. Still too many people, and long waits - what a great problem - get a loan and open a second location or expand the first.

There are some things in a capitalist society that are the domain of philanthropy, and some things that are not. A school or library might be a suitable target of philanthropy, but a burger place or pub or barber shop isn't; there's no way to fund it and have it end up the same sort of place it would be on its own.

At best, it can be a target of a GoFundMe or something - but that's just to pay operating costs. The store itself has to operate like a normal capitalist store for the concept to work, accepting customers, charging money, etc. There is no concept in our society of a non-profit burger joint.

If you're willing to compile it from source, which I'm not since it isn't the 70s anymore.

The rest of these are all the same thing: you can do these things as long as you compile from source. As I've already mentioned, I consider that a backwards and tedious way to deal with application installation. I mean ffs, getting build environments right is such a pain that many devs ship a docker container of a working environment. Not to mention it is only viable with OSS software.

I mean, who knew that damn mcnuggets could be absolutely heavenly under the right circumstances...
Yes, this is the classic gentrification problem. Now you've turned a restaurant that locals can visit into a purely tourist attract that only the upper class can enjoy. This solves the problem of the restaurant owners having to close down, but for all the locals the restaurant might as well be gone.

P.S. And then when the next "top N burger joints in America" list comes out that everyone goes crazy for and all the burger-tourists start going somewhere else now you've lost your local customer base and you might go out of business regardless. Raising prices works well if you're a fine dining establishment in a dense metro area and that's the kind of business you expect to run. It doesn't work so well for burger joints or BBQ shacks elevated to a bizarre level of temporary fame.

Just slightly complicates it. All you need is for them to be in range of your catcher when they renegotiate a new TIMSI, which is done periodically. If your targeting a specific person that's as simple as deploying a catcher within range of their home and/or office and chances are good you will get most if not all TIMSI negotiations.

Like trying to stop MITM attacks on the internet by randomizing MAC addresses between sessions. IMSI are printed on a sticker stuck to the phone. How secret can it really be?

First, I don't think that is true at all. High budget film movies are meticulous about every aspect that they can loosely quantify, even if it means someone eventually making decisions by eye.

Second, there is no reason that every shot has to be done with the same camera. Back before digital cameras and fluid manipulation it might have been more difficult to match shots in a sequence, but even so vistavision cameras were still used for visual effects plates.

Re: deprecation, I deployed a personal project 7 years ago to AppEngine, and it has run continuously since then, costing me a few cents each month above what the free tier provides. Since then I've redeployed a few times with little bugfixes or features, and all the infrastructure changes together have required a few lines to be removed from config files, and that's it. It still runs exactly as designed, 7 years later. By far one of the best effort/reward ratios I've had on any platform. No OS upgrades, no package version conflicts, no downtime (that I've noticed), just deploy and forget.

That said, I'm not sure I'd use it for anything that might scale heavily with datastore writes. They get expensive very quickly if you can't cache and group the writes.

Yep exactly or "this" as they say. The Market doesn't have to respond so slowly that prices stay the same even though demand went up. It doesn't have to charge a faithful customer more than an unfaithful one either.
