Most social programs are like insurance. You pay in when you don't need it, and it's there for you when you do need it.

When my kids were young and I was poor, other people paid for their schooling. Now the kids are out of school, but I'm paying for public schools for other kids.

If you make social programs voluntary, then people join when they need it and quit when they don't.

That's why you can't buy fire insurance for your house only when it's burning. You have to buy the insurance when it's not on fire, or the entire program doesn't work.
Well, AVX does explicitly add 256-bit integer loads and stores: https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide....

And some of the Boolean operations can be quite useful on integers. So even for integers, I was definitely wrong to characterize AVX as 128-bit.
Yet in this very thread is someone who read the article, read that these people do not have the kind of money that enables the creation of savings, and glibly gave the advice to save up.

The problem isn't just that common advice isn't helpful; it's well-meaning outsiders just missing this over and over and endlessly giving the same unhelpful, irrelevant advice.

There was a ton of "made for TV" content in the 70's and 80's, for example, TV movies. It has all vanished. It's not even on imdb.com. I wonder why nobody is streaming it.

On the other hand, I've noticed that record companies are reaching further and further into their back catalogs, even going back into the 1950s, and re-releasing on CDs long unavailable stuff.

(I notice this because I often buy thrift store records, wondering what is on them. There are some really nice forgotten gems.)

Reader view in firefox makes it very fast. Like how the web used to be. It just displays the images/text of the actual content and strips everything else out. I immediately hit that button on most sites now, and they load in under 1s (usually way under). It even has a dark mode! No videos playing, no ads changing in sidebars distracting your eyes, no popups making your click through. Just the content you wanted to see. I just wish you could make it the default mode.
You think that always holds up or is that an unreasonable extrapolation? There are plenty of high dollar products that don't last. And spending $100K on a car isn't going to give you a more affordable or longer lasting vehicle than a $20K Honda Civic. It's far more likely that you can buy a $20K Civic and it will last longer than the luxury vehicle with lower maintenance costs.
It seems unlikely to come into contact with only a single cell... although a strange thing about HIV is that it seems only a single viral particle usually gets transmitted from one person to another. Even though there are millions of variants in each infected person only a single one is usually passed on:

>"The reverse transcriptase of HIV lacks proofreading activity, the ability to confirm that the DNA transcript it makes is an accurate copy of the RNA code, and confers a mutation rate of approximately 3.4×10−5 mutations per base pair per replication cycle. Since the HIV genome is an estimated 104 base pairs in length and the baseline rate of viral production is approximately 1010 virions per day, millions of viral variants are produced within any infected person in a single day."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2614444/

>"Transmission of a single viral variant occurs in about 76–90% of cases of heterosexual transmission [2], [6], [7], in about 60% of cases of HIV-1-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) [5], and only in about 40% of injection drug users (IDU) who acquired HIV-1 infection [4]."

I don't think that applies anymore these days. I am from Poland and culturally I have more in common with most Germans than with many of my compatriots.

And my point is that the idea of "their piece of earth" is outdated. Apart from silliness and unnecessary politicians it leads to real problems, like countries deciding that they will burn oil and coal on "their piece of earth" and not care about climate catastrophe at all.
I’m apprecticative of the amount of work and effort you put into the book. Please consider the self-learner and those that don’t have access to solutions, a classmate, a TA, or a professor.

I know you probably don’t want to expose solutions to the exercises so they can be used in a classroom, but for people like me, I don’t want to create an online discussion to every problem I attempt just to check my work.

I prefer to read textbooks that have solutions, so I can know for sure my answers are correct.

I don’t really buy the “you know when your solutions are correct”. The beginner can easily fool themself into thinking their solutions are correct, when they aren’t.

Due to that, I won’t be buying your book.

This is a good reason to USB boot a Pi (yes, they’ve supported this for ages now) - no one should SD card boot a Pi in a production style environment, given the well documented card corruption issues.

Read only file systems on the SD boot volume are another solution, but this can cause other headaches (obviously) or may not be appropriate for the software you intend to run.

Don't believe the hype. The total R&D cost of an entire industry has a tenuous connection to those for a single product or organization.

The lion's share of early stage R&D in pharmaceuticals happens in academia or start ups. The big players "acquire" the successful ones somewhere around phase II trials.

In the semiconductor industry, like pharma, failed startups go out of business and disappear. Intel would get laughed out of the room if they tried to claim the R&D costs of such failures as their own. Yet for some reason everyone buys this argument from the pharmaceutical companies.
There's some funny business going on in the phrase "their piece of land". It's not like each citizen has the same ownership rights of every bit of the country. If I own a bit of land in Japan, why does it suddenly become "their land" for the purpose of determining laws?
But is it linear, from the data? They had two datapoints and projected from that sparse data a regression line.
One of the things that disturbed me from the article was how the Mozilla build chain just merrily ignores that profiling had failed, and moves on building stuff using that profile. That seems like quite dangerous behaviour. Surely that should be a failing step for a build, or at the very least a large warning should go out at the end "This build may be optimised based on complete nonsense because profiling failed"
The one universal piece of money advice is "Spend less than you earn, and put the difference somewhere that earns interest." Most articles, recognizing this universal truth, go on to propose ways of spending less and saving more efficiently. The author of this piece, having reduced his spending as low as reasonably possible, actually just needs advice on how to earn more.

I don't think this applies anymore.

Cheap is getting better and better. And the rich just buy new because they like to go with the trend spending hundreds of dollars on boots.

Most people I know (Netherlands) who are not wealthy have mental issues or don't know how to manage money.

Agreed — but do we really need so many governments? Why not have a local regional level (city/region, where you live and where things really matter to you) and then a continental level (EU, US, China, Russia, etc)?

I really do believe that we have way too many governments, and borders are an artificial construct used to support politicians.

Sure, but how does that apply here? Someone reports a less than perfect experience with it, and that casually gets connected to "haters that exist".

Are you sure people despise things for being popular, that they don't just react to popular things more often and more strongly because popularity means you encounter them more often?

On the other hand, popularity does sadly imply a certain amount of identifying with and irrationally defending of something, which ironically adds to the hateworthyness of it. Not because it's to blame for the people who like it, but because it comes with the people who like it and their dividing of everything into fans or haters.
While there are many examples, their number is small. One could say there are orders more examples of people not escaping poverty.

We aren't talking about some fraction of the major discussion that's as irrelevant as saying you can use kinetic energy to power your watch.

We are talking about energy in general, not just electricity and we are talking about entire societies needing to be able to support their needs.

And off-grid solar power requires way more than you let on.

To begin with the resources and a manufacturing process that goes into it, the cost, the ability to provide enough energy and so on.

Furthermore and again. Solar is not even close to being able to deliver enough energy for our needs as a society neither on a national level and certainly not on a global level and no amount of off-grid solar power will solve that problem.
Sure, in 1850 when we had no other sources of power that would be a good argument.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we as a species are hurtling towards voluntary extinction because some people are just profiting too much from oil. Encouraging those most likely to face the consequences of global warming to burn more oil isn’t just insane, it’s downright evil.

In section 4.2 of the paper, they also talk about "Complexity caused by Control".

Quoted:
> The problem with control is that very often we do not want to have to be concerned with this. Obviously — given that we want to construct a real system in which things will actually happen — at some point order is going to be relevant to someone, but there are significant risks in concerning ourselves with this issue unnecessarily.

This strikes me as a naive, European way to understand borders (governments are services, you get to choose who to pay your taxes to). Most of the world's people are born to governments they do not endorse, and do not want to pay taxes to, yet they still have to. I was born in a shitty country and even though I've been living in the US last 5 years, I still have duties to my home country such as taxes, military, community service etc... And since I'm not a US citizen yet -- even though everyone I care and my life is here -- I cannot reject these duties to my country since I need its services such as providing me with a passport, an embassy (for legal help) etc. Besides US can randomly throw me away any time it feels like, and the one country I can always go is my home country.

I love how these sort of bureaucratic things are so simple in the EU. For the rest of us, it is much more complex, and for most of us living in a country we like is a dream that can hardly be achieved. Nearly all my childhood friends living back home are trying to escape their country but it's not that easy (you need to find a job that accepts H1B for US, or equivalent bureaucratic mambo jambo for the EU).
This is actually more difficult than you’d expect in some ways. The vast majority of card cloning guides will advise you to use the ‘dd’ command line utility, which makes an exact replica of the card, including the free space.

Unfortunately not all SD cards, even if advertised as the same capacity, are exactly the same size. If your replacement card is just 1 byte smaller your dd clone won’t restore - the “free” space has to fit into the target card as well.

Long story short - most popular methods of cloning microSD cards for the Pi only ensure the ability to restore to a larger SD card, not necessarily one of the same advertized size.

For sure there are workarounds, but it’s not as straightforward as you might assume. Personally I’m much more a fan of other tools such as rsync or version control etc for cloning data to and from Pi projects.

The better answer is just to USB boot the Pi anyway - they’ve supported this for a while now, no card corruption issues to mitigate.

This sounds similar to why I left my last job. Ended up at the doctors' with severe depression and they dropped a bombshell on me.

"There's nothing medical science can do to help. I can prescribe you with SSRIs but that won't fix anything. What you need to do is look for a job that you can at least tolerate, or you'll end up dead before you hit retirement, by stress or by your own hand."
(yep, direct quote from my notes)

After a week or so of thinking about it, I realised she was right. I started talking to old friends in the industry, did a few after-work meet-and-lunch sessions and found a couple of companies local to me who were hiring. Talked to recruiters too, ended up with a few interviews. This time I wasn't jumping from a sinking ship, I had time to look and I was going to find "the right one" this time.

A few months of searching, I interviewed at my current employer. Took the job on the basis that I'd talked to old university friends and former colleagues who were working for them too, and nobody had anything negative to say. My former line manager a few jobs back was well-known and wrote me a glowing reference (I didn't want to ask my current employer and give away that I was looking).

I got an offer and I took it. It's been like night and day, and I keep having to tell myself "yes, you're being paid for this, no you're not dreaming". My partner told me the other night "I've never seen you so happy."

So my point is, if you really don't like the job (and from reading your post it sounds like that's the case), look elsewhere. Maybe it's not you, maybe you're just not a good fit for the current job's culture and environment. Different people are good at different things.

Polish off your CV. Put some feelers out. Make what you're doing work for long enough that you can find something else on a reasonable timescale. Book a few half-days off and set up some interviews. At the very least, you'll get a better idea what openings are out there.

Once you have a signed offer, politely walk into your boss's office and say "Thank you for the opportunity, sir, but I feel like I need to move on with my career". Never burn bridges unless you have no other option. If you have an exit interview, all you need to say is "I just think it's time for a change of scenery and I had an offer I'd be silly to refuse". Keep it short and polite. In 90% of cases they just want to tick the "did the exit interview" box.

Someone downthread said "if everyone hates you, chances are it's caused by something you do or who you are". Go down the "how can I improve?" line with your line manager in a private 1-to-1, but if you don't get anywhere.. it could well be "who you are", in the sense of "not a good fit for the company". Basically, you won't get on with everyone you meet -- and you can't make people like you because that's their choice. And if it's not working out... sometimes the best thing to do is say "this is not fixable in this way" and move on.
Demand for certain goods and commodities are cyclical - I design dispatch consoles, we tend to get customer verticals in clusters - public safety, power/utilities, transportation and it continues in a cycle, based on replacement intervals (on a 20 year lifetime) - I know Motorola sees similar cycles too - they'll oscillate between public safety and commercial markets.
