just as a quick FYI, the alcohol humans consume to become intoxicated is, and always has been, the ethyl- variety. Ethanol is poisonous as varying doses but methyl alcohol, or methanol, is FAR more dangerous. This is the compound that was poisoning people back in the days of prohibition due to lack of production controls.
As a fun little side note, the concentration of ethanol in black market drink drastically increased during the days of prohibition because the moonshiners could fit more "bang for the buck" into a smaller volume making transport easier and more profitable. Smells quite a bit to me like the current fentanyl predicament of the black market heroin/opiate trade.
Unless you are a multimillionaire, no it will not be your wealth being redistributed. The problem is not well-off people driving their Teslas around and taking two vacations a year, it is the relatively few people hoarding such obscene levels of wealth that their personal holdings dwarf those of entire lower economic classes of people. More than they could possibly need for 1000 lifetimes.

Oh come on. If I was paid UBI I'd sit at home playing video games all day and so would everyone else I know.
Lens review are driven by specs, and it is easy to zoom in to 1000% in Photoshop and check whether a lens is sharp or not, and sharpness needs more glass, which is heavy. It is easy to test and easy to understand.

To me it is like the difference between LPs and poorly mastered CDs. It's easy to measure that the CD has more definition but sounds digital and lifeless. The scratches and pops of the LP give it personality.

Can't recommend Foundation for Emails highly enough for rendering html. I found it super easy to use (Moustache templates) and very flexible for managing multiple versions (translations) of a newsletter.

The assignment I had was to write, coordinate translations, produce and send a quarterly newsletter with anywhere between 20 and 35 translations per issue + optional separate content to be included on a country-to-country basis. Production time from drafted newsletter to final send was about 2 weeks.

The Foundation tool felt to me a little like jekyll for email. I had a a lot of fun with it.

Scanned at 5,300dpi (which seems to be the higher end offered by negative scanning services), my medium format 6cm square negative yields a 156 megapixel image. [1]

I'm not aware of any crop sensors offering comparable resolution, in fact this round-up of current cameras seems to suggest <50mpx is more likely and I'm sure some of those are "full frame".

I don't know of any business where they wouldn't be involved. Not in the "Let's talk directly about implementation details" way, but in the "Driving product development and roadmap" and "ascertaining value to our customers" way.

Any time spent on work that doesn't directly create value for customers is work that the business should be weighing in on. I'm not saying that you should never spend any time doing anything else - but these are trade offs that the product manager should be involved in, and one of their primary jobs is being able to weight the technical and business realities and figuring out where resources should be going.
They're not RUUIDs, after all. The article states that it's doing pretty much what the docs say it's doing.

It’s preferable to have somewhat equitable outcomes while preserving a mostly bottom-up market economy. Because that remains the unchallenged champion of organizing an economy, both in terms of productivity as well as dynamism.

It seems, however, that the 50s and 60s were sort of a fluke: WW2 had destroyed the remnants of feudalism. And with even many scions of the upper classes experiencing turmoil and breaks in their CVs, such as going to war instead of college, class mobility reached an all-time high. As long as you were white & male, that is, of course.

The nature of the dominant industries was also beneficial: construction or car dealerships are inherently local, giving many people the opportunity to share in the spoils of growth.

Today, the knowledge economy and other zero-marginal-costs businesses dominate. They who would have run a well-respected local vinyl shop in 1974 are now despised middle managers at Spotify.

Taxation definitely plays a role. Inheritance taxes may the only tax where I care more about the taking-away than the giving-to. Obviously nobody is arguing for a complete leveling of income differences, or even anything close to it. But school budgets should certainly not depend on the wealth of the immediate neighborhood or the specific parents.

I’m not sure if something like UBI could ever be sold to the public. But within the next decade, the 10%-20% of the population work as some sort of ‘driver’ will be asking their new Wayno 5000 to take them to a political rally. What happens next will be interesting.

As seen in the post, Finance has caught on to this idea. The Bloomberg Terminal now provides BQuant. It's an almost fully functional IPython notebook with built in access to their financial datasets.

Analysts that used to work in excel are moving their models into environments like these. Libraries for most common functionality are provided, and allow someone with only a bit of VBA knowledge to feel comfortable enough to start working with python.

And when you browse places like r/financialcareers, it's filled with finance students wondering which programming languages they should learn. And the answer is always to learn python using jupyter notebooks.
Are they driving at the same speed as the congested lane? That's how it should be done, in my opinion. If driving in the ending lane isn't seen as "getting ahead" and is seen as "using available road without cheating", the behavior could actually change.
Superteles should have been excluded, those really are coming down in weight thanks to advances in optics as well as higher ISO & image stabilization allowing slower glass. Just look at the outlier "max" cases in the charts, and draw the trendline in your mind.

IMHO "the economy" underpins everything. I'm not sure what is more important to know about on a systemic level.
Usually, it is safer to merge behind the truck.
This is brilliant.

I'm picturing the ability to write a Python function with the parameters being just like the parameters in an Excel function. You can drag the cell and have it duplicated throughout a row, updating the parameters to correspond to the rows next to it.

It would exponentially expand the power of excel. I wouldn't be limited to horribly unmaintainable little Excel functions.

VBA can't be used to do that, can it? As far as I understand (and I haven't investigated VBA too much) VBA works on entire spreadsheets.

Essentially, replace the excel formula `=B3-B4` with a Python function `subtract(b3, b4)` where Subtract is defined somewhere more conveniently (in a worksheet wide function definition list?).
It's almost unbelievable that they want to remove the single piece of protection that makes Article 13 remotely acceptable to me: exemption for SMEs. If many small European internet platforms were allowed to grow in place of the existing American megaplatforms we could have a more competitive ecosystem (i.e. platforms couldn't suddenly change their policies or UIs without risk of significant user losses) and upload filters wouldn't be a legal requirement.

Improved manufacturing techniques for these lenses is likely another reason (on top of what is already mentioned in the comments: high resolution sensors and a changing market for such lenses).

I have found that I prefer modern Voigtlander lenses with my FF mirrorless body. They're small, but hefty with great build quality and image quality. The CV 15mm f4.5 and 40mm f1.2 are all you need for a fun day of photography!
From my experience, I think that this is unlikely. A notebook abstracts a REPL and allows for literate programming. It's mostly used by people who used to write computer programs to carry out analyses (e.g., applied statisticians or numerical mathematicians). A notebook gives them the opportunity to explain the code block, include equations, etc.

A spreadsheet allows for semi-automation of data processing. Each cell can have a (rather simple) function defined and its evaluation result is printed in that cell. You can actually build up pretty complex workflows by just concatenating cell evaluations.

To give a more concrete example, think about a loop. It is arguably the building block of any computer programming language and a necessary cornerstone in learning how to program. Both notebooks and spreadsheets implement loops differently. You can code a loop in a notebook but the cell output will be difficult to interpret (think of it having to fit a linear model for 5 different outcomes). You would be better off just splitting up the cell and run the models separately. That will allow for commenting the code and explaining the results, just like you would in writing a paper. In a spreadsheet, you would define a function, then copy/paste it for the cells you want it evaluated for. No programming required, just knowledge of how to link to cells from within a function and how to copy/paste in the spreadsheet. That's why spreadsheets are wildly used by non-technical people with little knowledge of computer programming.

>So, the lesson for today is: take warnings in documentation seriously. If you used UUID() for data that is supposed to be secret (like passwords), you have a serious problem, as these secrets can now be easily guessed.

It's great that you were able to do that, and I've been to Europe (not where the country I was referring to is located) and I agree with you about the degree.

That said, it's just emotional on my part like I said in the OP. Yeah I knew people who were poor and who probably spent their entire life since that time doing drugs and collecting their assistance checks. (And to be fair I knew people who were rich and probably spent their entire life since that time doing drugs and collecting their monthly allowance. Both are far from the norm of the rich/poor people. They're just specific examples of not caring much about your life beyond it going on.)

I prefer to live in a world where five hundred thousand people are sitting on their asses doing nothing passing the seconds till their death through their own choices than in a world where fifty thousand people are running ragged feeling their bodies waste away not knowing where their time goes through the choices of people who just wanted a nicer lawn. The first world seems like it has more happiness per capita plus the outcome of each is a result of things like effort. The second world seems like it belongs in a SF story about the unchosen ones.

It would never be implemented that way. At most it'd be "by default, software developed with government funding is released as open source software". Specialty weapon systems would quickly request and get an exemption.

But the reality is that even in weapon systems there's lots of "boring code" that would make sense to have as open source software. A lot of it involves "move bits from A to B", "calculate this matrix", and so on that are not really special (you can find the basic algorithms publicly) - but having a way to share the costs with others who need it would be valuable.

You can find the US Department of Defense (DoD) OSS FAQ here: https://dodcio.defense.gov/open-source-software-faq/

Here's the US DoD OSS policy (2009): https://dodcio.defense.gov/portals/0/documents/foss/2009oss....

The DoD policy does not require release by default as open source software (OSS), but there IS a short discussion of when it's okay to release software as OSS when it's funded by the Department of Defense (DoD) - and it's quite open-ended.

Yes, this could be just a change in focal length and aperture* product statistics, not any kind of length getting heavier.

*: Observe e.g. most astronomical telescopes have similar magnification, but widely varying apertures.
So all you had to do was:

1. Know what to do.

2. Have approval to do it.

3. Do it.

... which is to say, maintenance. The fact that maintenance is simple and/or easy doesn't mean it happens by itself.
That's capital. It gets given back to investors, who invest it elsewhere. They don't just stick it under the mattress. It is moved from Apple to a place where it can be put to use. With a buyback (or dividend) apple is saying "we ran out of productive ways to spend this money"

Could be related to other drug use. Most trippers experiment with other stuff. Coke, alcohol, math and marijuana all can trigger psychosis.
And aperture. I'd love to see weight graphed against aperture and focal length (I guess it'd be a 3D plot), and then see what the correlations are. Does weight increase linearly with focal length? (I'd guess so.) Does it increase super-linearly with aperture? (I'd guess there's a square in that relationship.)

> If you used UUID() for data that is supposed to be secret (like passwords), you have a serious problem, as these secrets can now be easily guessed.

I've never used UUIDs for secrets, but I've often dependended on UUIDs to be uniform - as the primary identifier when passing data around inside distributed systems. If the chance of collision is implementation dependent, that could end really badly.

Hi, present day (grad) student here that has been seeing this change happen gradually over my academic career. honestly there have been times I wish that technology stayed out of education because I feel like that the clear explanations have disappeared in exchange for cool graphics or videos (maybe a budget reallocation to the design/graphics team on the publisher's side?). or a related thing is I've noticed in class discussion happens less as slides have replaced the whiteboard/chalkboard as the class speeds through pre written formulas or texts. overall, perhaps there's a case for more quantity of info being relayed thanks to tech but I feel like quality has suffered as a result.

There was a study that was conducted in the UK which looked into the relative amount of harm caused by the various legal and illegal recreational substances.

>It examines nine categories of harm that drugs can do to the individual "from death to damage to mental functioning and loss of relationships" and seven types of harm to others. The maximum possible harm score was 100 and the minimum zero.

Overall, alcohol scored 72 – against 55 for heroin and 54 for crack.

Magic mushrooms scored a 5.

Really? Well let me elaborate then.

Instead of the majority of people mindlessly consuming media and products without questioning the impact it's having on their minds, their future, the environment, other cultures, etc, they might pause to ponder these things.

Rather than accepting society as an immutable construct that they couldn't possibly influence in a positive way, people might choose to participate in challenging the status quo.

In lieu of othering demographics that they don't understand, people might realize that despite some minor cosmetic differences, we're all humans that have a pretty vivid subjective experience of pain.

The elite benefit from a complacent majority. I would even go so far as to say they rely on a complacent majority to maintain their position. You don't have to venture very far to read stories about people who experience tectonic shifts in their patterns of thought after taking psychs.

The current fully legalized and regulated substances just don't have that kind of effect. Alcohol just lowers your inhibitions and arguably makes you stupider.
