Agree with many other commenters here that holding this up as a supposed failure of free-market libertarianism borders on absurdity. Cut against the grain of human nature and you're going to fail, irrespective of your philosophy.

The reason is that TFR is not the average number of children per woman over her lifetime.

Instead, it is calculated by measuring the average number of children born to women at a specific age (e.g. 15, 16..49). Adding all of these up results in the TFR. Thus mortality rates are not included in the TFR.
The criticism misses the point of these tests, no one cares if you can reverse a b-tree or not. It's meant to serve as proxy for a good candidate, one that can reverse a b-tree is expected to have more coding chops than someone that can't.

Whether they're good or bad proxies is certainly debatable, but at least that's asking the right question.

Are you sure? It seems to me that most people just have more important stuff to worry about. Paying taxes, rent, buying food, health issues, personal safety etc. Privacy seems to be a luxury topic, and thus is more important to those that need not worry about the fundamentals.

Well it's really easy to politically disenfranchise people when you do whatever you can to keep them from voting.
I was lamenting this exact thing to a friend the other day. Books are just too long for most self-help advice and it ends up being 80% filler.

The worst is when the first three chapters are about how rich/smart/successful you'll become by reading this book! (Except for the first three chapters, of course, because those are just advertisements for the book you already acquired.)
I finally bought because I was sinking large chunks of money into my old Camry every few months for the last few years, and toward the end, each trip to the mechanic, I would ask myself: does a Tesla even have the part or system I am paying money to fix? Usually the answer was no.

The Camry was superbly maintained. Carmax only gave me $300 for it... go figure. I was happy to be done with it. All those repairs were wasted money.

Yes I would say bite the bullet, make the purchase, and stop the bleeding.

All the savings listed on the website (slightly deceptively it seems but maybe it’s common in sales) do not even include the money you will be saving on maintenance.

On the other hand, the insurance bill is high depending on the price of your config.

Just test drive it.

Road trips are not a problem and are quite fun actually. It’s even sleepable for people up to about 6’.

Biggest pro is the Autopilot cruise control with auto distance keeping. Removes 95% of the stress from your commute especially if there is any stop and go driving. Not sure if you need FSD to get this these days but maybe. Anyway that will pay for itself in prevented car accidents that you would have been involved in otherwise.

If you can possibly swing the dual motor or performance... do it. Get the highest one you can. I could have gone one more step up and regret not doing so.

Like I said, I do not agree with libertarian ethics. I'm explaining how it looks from that perspective. And in it, by definition, whatever the market does is the consensus.

The larger point is that they're not trying to solve the problem you (and the author) think about. It's not about solving hunger per se. It's about alleviating it to the extent permissible by the bounds of what their value system deems moral - and those bounds do not accommodate wealth redistribution via taxation. So it's kinda like complaining that communists can't solve the problem of protecting private property - well, yes, but they aren't trying to, so you should complain about that very fundamental premise.

In a way, it is rather like religion. Islamic banking, for example, is hardly efficient at solving most problems that modern banking does. If all you cared about was solving them, you wouldn't need it. But if you are under a religious prohibition on charging interest, then you have to come up with all those alternative convoluted schemes, that don't cover many scenarios outright, and are inefficient in others - but it's the best that can be had. Conversely, if a problem requires a sinful action to solve, then it's not really a problem. "Whatever God does is good" is a common religious trope - replace it with "whatever the market does is good", and you'll see that it works just the same here.
Anyone familiar enough with this library to explain how they've achieved such impressive performance? Otherwise, may dig into it for a blog post when I have time.
These things don't start by one side firing a nuke.

They either start by one side believing the other side fired a nuke. (See: Every close call having to do with a communication failure/false detection.)

Or by one side believing that firing a tactical nuke is the only way to accomplish their goal. The battle doctrines of both the United States, and Russia, permit the use of tactical nuclear weapons in conventional military engagements. I wouldn't be surprised if, in a shooting war, some idiot were to actually use a tactical nuclear weapon, believing that it would not escalate into an exchange of strategic nuclear weapons.
It's probably all of them, except the wormholes. However, all of them are far away and 9 billion will happen way before that.
There is no convincing argument. The "I have nothing to hide" defense is one that can't be toppled until they experience something that illuminates it for them (something I haven't seen happen), argument/discussion is worthless. My family, friends, and co-workers (developers) all use this. They do not care, and those of us who do are, to them, weirdly concerned about something trivial in their mind.
There's a secondary cause mixed in here I'd like to propose.

If you were to pay forward at this Panera, you don't know where your money is going to. That alone would make you hesitate as a consumer: You're not sure whether you'll be paying forward for someone who is in extensive need of the meal, or just a well-off customer who's looking for their discount-of-the-week for a decent sandwich.

It's the same kind of unease that pushes people away from giving money to panhandlers: they want to know that they are actually helping a person survive, not enabling them to seek out the means that may have contributed. (No, that's not what all of them will do. The point is you don't have the information and you will tend to err on the safe side in that context.)
Your comment proves the rule, FYI.
Plenty that's extremely bad is already happening as a result of privacy violations. Probably affecting most of us. Trouble is they're invisible.

For one example, we saw with Cambridge Analytica that political advertising can be tuned to your personal hot button issues. Those worried by immigration can be sent an outright (and outrageous) lie that remaining in the EU will result in all of Turkey moving to the UK. Those with different interests/concerns got different ads.

Turns out many of them were illegal too. No one knew until too late because it was invisible to all except the advertiser, Facebook (in this case) and recipient.

Until it becomes visible - it's really hard to make people care, or realise. Perhaps a few on the receiving end of the brexit/CA issue realised, if they remember the ads they saw, and read one of the many follow up stories. Like anything algorithmic, unless you a-b test how do you know what you saw that others didn't, what you aren't seeing, or where it discriminates?

Keep this up and we could easily lose most of the progress of the 20th century, invisibly.

What do I get in return? Privacy is a trade off, and that's how it's sold. "We need more CCTV cameras to stop crime". Do you want more crime or more privacy? Depends on how bad the crime is, I guess. "We need to record your likes to show you more stuff you like". Is FB worth it? It is to many, apparently.

This seems like a very warped view of the world. The US economy is doing pretty well. The main worry people have is that it is doing too well and will lead to a crash at some point. Unemployment is basically non-existent in many parts of the country. Wages are finally starting to go up, after being stagnant since 2008.

Putting up with poor working conditions is mostly poor decision making, especially in tech.

In the space of safety-critical software systems with tight constraints, Ada has typically been the go-to language. Together with the verification sub-language, SPARK, it can prove things like array bounds (and I assume integer bounds) are respected, without runtime checks. See e.g. https://www.adacore.com/gems/gem-68

The formal verification method used by SPARK is industry-proven (for decades). Dependent types are for the most part still an academic curiosity struggling to find industrial application. Of course they may very well do that, one day. But today, if you're working on safety-critical systems, I hope you take a close look at Ada+SPARK.
If people are actually powerless to combat a threat, it's rational to shut it out. There's no sense worrying about things you can't control. The irrational response is to obsess about it and take mental energy away from things you can control.

(This is also similar to why we don't worry about an asteroid striking the earth, a pandemic wiping out humanity, or nuclear war. There is little that we personally can do, so why spend mental energy?)

I have lived in India all my life, and the fraction of people who think overpopulation is not a problem, or who think it is a good thing, is vanishingly small.

Note that the current rate of 2.3 has been reached from a high of 4.97 around 1975. SO regardless of what (some) Indians have told you, their actions speak otherwise!
the problem is that it is hard to figure out what to do about it.

the only viable action is education. as you say, talk about the problem, spread awareness, until the majority of the population is better informed. and even that looks futile (though i believe it isn't) everything else is hopeless.

TikTok Brings Chinese-Style Censorship to America’s Tweens
I don't know of a architechure that actually does this, but I suspect they're comparing a N->N->N truncating multiply with a N->N->N+1 addition that sets the carry flag. In addition to forcing the compiler to reorder test-fiddle-branch sequences in a potentially suboptimal way, you'd also introduce speculation hazards for any instructions that depend on the flags.

I'd be interested to see any hardware where that's enough to make addition slower, though, since usually you can make up for it by dumping a extra (very cheap) adder into the execution system.

For most Americans, the major privacy concerns are (or ought to be) around speeding and other more-or-less minor moving violations, illegal drug shipments, and copyright violations. For speeding etc, potential impacts are mainly fines, higher insurance rates, and potential license loss.

Illegal drug shipments for older people are mainly offshore pharmacies. And that's not heavily penalized, with confiscation and warning letters being the norm. Otherwise it's recreational drugs. And apparently that's also rarely prosecuted, except for dealers.

It also seems that copyright violations aren't being heavily prosecuted. I guess that the MPAA figured out that bad PR was worse than people pirating.

More generally, there's the issue of being gamed by well informed sellers. Basically paying more for stuff that they know we really want. And getting tricked into buying stuff that we don't really need. Also, electing candidates that we don't really want ;)

>This is what happens when you let programmers name projects.

OK, this is pretty OT, but coders don't have a monopoly on bad naming. I worked on an internal project that had a unique and well recognized name within the company. Exec forced us to change it to an acronym that he liked but made no sense to anybody else.

Two years later, after the new name had finally caught on, he realized that the project didn't do what he thought and had been telling people. In order to save face, he created another project with _the same name_ so he could tell people that's what he meant all along.

So now there's one project that's had two different names, one of which overlaps with a separate-but-closely-related project. As you might imagine, this has not been confusing to anyone. But at least that executive only looks like a jackass to people who've been around long enough to watch this farce unfold.

Programmers may suck at naming, but at least they understand the concept of using distinct names for related things...
The best response to this is an overt question to do something that massively invades privacy. Ex., "Can I watch you have sex if you have nothing to hide?". The obvious and immediate answer is, "Of course not." which opens the door to a dialogue about why privacy is important regardless of whether or not you have something to hide.
Or you could say he gets credit for all the bad stuff when society is often to blame, and not much credit for the good stuff. That seems to be the most common response from everyone, including the tech community.

I think businesses whose primary source of income is advertising to their users can't really avoid being unethical. Facebook is just one of the biggest case studies of that model. The business model is rotten from the core, but I don't think it's Zuck's fault. Any other CEO would also have to grapple with that in a way that will inevitably hurt users and help advertisers.

If I were Zuck I would maybe consider trying to start a new tech company with a completely different business model. "They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks." aside, I don't really think he's a bad guy. No worse than Schmidt or Dorsey etc., at least.
Well, that sucks.

M Eifler has been experimenting and creating stuff in VR pretty much every day and has been for years. I consider them a super creative pioneer and they really have an embodied sense of what works in VR. http://elevr.com/the-office-of-the-future/ It's the kind of mastery of a medium that comes from "serious play", where someone's not afraid to just explore new ideas for the sense of discovery. And they keep notes on what works and what doesn't. http://elevr.com/would-you-like-to-see-an-invisible-sculptur...
