Sure, however lets assume your train runs hourly

Your itinerary is 0930-1000 from A to B, and 1030-1230 from B to D via C.

You have a reserved seat on the 0930 and 1030, but the 0930 runs 40 minutes late and gets in at 10:40.

So you try to get the 1130. Except there's no seats available from B to D because someone has reserved the seats between C and D. The train pulls out empty from B, and you have to wait for the next train with seat available (1630)

Meanwhile the train gets to C, and people haven't turned up for their journey (reservations are free). Half empty train runs from C to D.

Reservation only trains are a terrible idea.

Imagine the chaos if the journey was free too. I'm going to London tomorrow, I'd book 5 different trains depending on what time I get up.
60 people? The cleanup crew had far more deaths than that.
I'm not sure how to put this in a way that won't sound offensive. Please cut me some slack in that regard, because I'm honestly not trying to be offensive. I think your description of this is naive in a very serious way.

Here the "marketing" is a big part of the point. Proposing solutions to democratic problems with something derived from economics provides theoretical cover to people who are seeking to undermine democracy in service of capital. The idea that democracy needs to be "more effective" because of some structural issue, not with society but with democracy itself, is incredibly dangerous.

EDIT: I'm rambling, but I think that the article was a type of propaganda. I was also trying to point out that the constitution enshrines some very extreme positions for at least one minority that actually benefits from things like what are described by this article. I don't take it's claims seriously because I believe that it actually exists to present aspects of capitalism as superior to democracy.

Dropping down to a lower level of abstraction from the get go because you might need that level of control for performance reasons in the future sounds like a typical case of premature optimization to me.
Of course any sufficiently complex system is eventually going to need specifically optimized code at a lower level of abstraction in some places (usually then wrapped in an abstraction of your own)but that should always be done on a case by case basis as necessary.

I think the quality of Twitter can be excellent if you're following "the right" people. I'd be happy to recommend some users who post incredibly intriguing content if you're interested.
Thanks for your thoughts which are all good and reasonable.

Over the past years I've seen many programmers struggle with the combination of "data aggregation" and NULL. In the beginning I thought that these programmers should just "RTFM", but as this problem occurs so often it might very well be that the practical implementation of aggregation and NULL is "a bit off".

I like your "set" approach a lot, however, we still have "sum({1, 1, {}})" unequal to "1+1+{}" and "sum({}) = 0" which, while consistent, I think are somewhat counterintuitive and I am pretty sure will lead to misunderstanding.

Having said that, I suspect that any decent and consistent approach to this problem is subject to a very reduced form of John Lydgate's famous quote, that is "You can only please some of the programmers some of the time".

Many thanks for your time and this interesting and insightful conversation.

Because of nuclear's high energy density, it's the only energy source that we can account for and store all the waste for the entire lifetime. It is solid ceramic waste that sits in passively cooled steel and concrete containers on parking lots. 3 decades of waste powering a large city fit in a small parking lot. Commercial nuclear waste has never injured anyone. We have consensus technical solutions (deep geologic repository), including one operational repository at WIPP. We just have to get people to stop stonewalling so we can put it in them.

Here's my buddy Jim standing in a parking lot full of decades worth of nuclear waste [1].

The Finns decided to solve their nuclear waste issues and have a repository under construction. [2]

Meanwhile, millions die per year from air pollution and carbon concentration just peaked 415 ppm. I think nuclear waste is honestly a tiny concern compared to those things.

Nuclear operations are not hugely subsidized in the US. They get about 1% of the tax subsidies given to energy sources. They are struggling economically because fracked natural gas pulled the floor out of electricity prices, and nuclear O&M can't just reduce itself with lower fossil prices. In France, where natural gas is more expensive, their nuclear fleet is 20% cheaper than gas.

Yes but the point is that it was thought this isn't something that was to be required - and had the system been correctly implemented (and handled by the crews), there wouldn't have been a problem.

I don't think Boeing was intentionally "hiding" the existence of such a system, they just didn't consider it critical enough to bother the crews with it because it was supposed to come into play only in a very unusual flight regime - manual flight, flaps up and high angle of attack. There was no special "MCAS training" needed because any failures fall into the "runaway stabilizer" emergency procedure.

It just didn't work out exactly that way, unfortunately.

If I recall correctly, the system has been mentioned in the documentation - not prominently and not something the crews would have been forcibly made aware of, but given that the plane certification depended on it and it had to be certified, they couldn't exactly "hide" it from the regulators.

Keep in mind that the procedure for the stabilizer problem is the same since 737 has been first introduced in the late 60s. Had it been correctly followed, likely neither of the crashes would have happened, MCAS or no MCAS.

The Lion Air crew didn't identify the problem as a possible runaway in the first place for whatever reason and the Ethiopian crew made several (understandable, but still) mistakes, such as cutting the trim system out while heavily out of trim, not reducing the excessive speed and then finally re-activating the electric trim (which is against the procedure) when they couldn't re-trim the plane manually due to the resulting excessive forces. Which has directly caused the crash once the MCAS has re-activated.
I'm not experienced on this stuff either, but it seems like Serverless (the org/framework) is designed for architecting whole sites/apps, whereas faast.js is focussed on hhandling batch computing jobs.

Rust releases spend six weeks in beta, and each individual feature can spend an unlimited amount of time baking in nightly, which is usually enough time to catch potential soundness issues before they find their way into stable (this is the second point release that I can recall having such a purpose). The particular feature under which this API falls has been in nightly for quite a while, so it may be that someone had a half-formed idea of how to trigger memory unsafety and was only reminded of it when they read the release notes where its stabilization was mentioned.
> applies to few real life markets

It applies to almost all real-life markets. It's so standard that we don't even notice it happening, and focus on the exceptions. There is no level of economics you can reach where "competition drives down prices" stops being taken seriously; Nobel-winning left-wing economists like Stiglitz and Krugman accept that as true and relevant. So does Marx(!), who focuses on how lower costs are achieved at the expense of workers rather than capital holders.

Restaurants run at effectively zero margin. Lawn chairs and pencils and window blinds sell for essentially the cost of manufacturing and distribution. Even complex services like VOIP calling have moved from high profitable industries to "essentially free". Markets aren't inherently noble any more than they're inherently evil, but a major part of their value is that price-fixing hardly ever works.

Without appreciating that, we lose sight of just how strange healthcare (and college, and housing) are. When prices stay far above costs despite what presents itself as competition, there's something significant happening that deserves more attention.
I thought the "five" below looked rather arbitrary:

His plan is for the fundamentals of human knowledge to be translated into the five most widely spoken languages and laser-etched onto a set of durable stainless steel or titanium sheets

But if you look at the list of most widely spoken languages, this actually looks pretty smart. Mandarin, Spanish, English, Hindi, and Arabic covers a lot of ground. (sixth is Portuguese)
It isn’t written from a pro-nuclear perspective: it’s just data, with attributed sources. And the majority of those nuclear deaths are from uranium mining.
You don't have to sell me on the poisonous nature of oil & gas. It is a given that those are bad ideas and need to go away. The real debate is wind/solar/geothermal/hydro. Once pollution and climate change is removed from the equation, accidents absolutely come into the calculus.

There's basically no chance that the current proprietary drivers will ever end up upstream, so if ARM / nvidia drivers were open source they would be out of tree.

Given that the most frequently cited reason that these drivers should be open source is improved user experience (less breakage when the kernel changes, easier install), what would be the advantage of an out of tree open source driver?
For low-traffic videos they likely only keep a copy in a single region.
John Deere already does that for common parts. They put a shelf in the farmer's shed with oil, filters, belts... and the farmer takes out what is needed. Once a week the dealer comes by and refills whatever is missing, and once a month sends a bill. No need for any of the scanning as you take it out: you are the only one with access to the cabinet so if it is missing you bought it.
I visited the site and wasn't really sure what it was offering, or what/if I have to pay anything. After reading your comment I have a better idea though. Perhaps add some of this copy in your comment to the website itself?

Also your tagline "Build yourself. Build your soft skills." may be better if it's reversed. So "Build your soft skills. Build yourself." It seems like a better causality flow.

Good luck!

Plastic use has to be curtailed at source. If developed countries with lower populations are using many times more plastic than developing countries with larger populations, it is time to look in the mirror.

It is not fair to allow some countries to make decisions based on economics but expect others to be ecologically responsible. Let's see how the US handles its own trash now, since China has stopped importing it.
Isn't this true of any entity? Even a Museum will eventually have to pay bills and have to decide to downsize or make changes. Even government funded preservation can have voters decide it isn't worth the costs and preservation can be dropped.

I do think private companies will be the ones most fastest to drop preservation and the ones least likely to look for external entity to swap preservation with, thus making YouTube worse than a museum.

I don't get that argument at all. I came from svn, used cvs and ss and I think I even tried to use Perforce at some point.

I don't see how people consider mercurial "easier", "the winner" or whatever.

I think it's like languages: if you're a french speaker and you translate everything into your native tongue while learning, then of course you won't ever get past roman languages. It's just different.

`git add -p` is my absolute favorite command ever. `tig` is just awesome. The gui clients are so beautiful and take away all the so called uglyness nowadays, though I just can't find myself using anything over git add -p. Nothing in mercurials commandline ever came close to these two. But yeah tig isn't really part of git but at the same time it's been around for so long it might as well be.
> Pharma companies are not charities and there's no reason to expect them to not try to make a profit.

It is nothing wrong to make a profit. It is a right thing to make a profit. But to make a profit by amoral means is wrong.

> The morality of charging money for health services is subjective.

It doesn't mean that we shouldn't take it into a consideration. Law enforcement might have trouble to deal with a subjective assessments, but we are not the law.

At the same time, I think we can agree on the amorality of the discussed practices, so it is not so subjective as it may seem. Moreover I believe that pharma might agree with us, if it stops for a second to think about morality, not just about profits.
And going to interviews without preparing what to say is good practise for letting thoughts come and go without deciding till you have decided.
> I am struck in particular by the 'expert --> idea' simulation. It suggests that an effective strategy for beating the competition to the punch in making a breakthrough discovery is to concentrate a diverse collection of expertise (it also explains why it pays to be very social in your career as a researcher).

That's what Think Tanks and Research Divisions used to be, You'd put a bunch of smart people from different disciplines together, give them some money and a vague direction and stand back.

Building 20 at MIT is another example I can think off, or the Collosus project during WWII (Tommy Flowers and Alan Turing where from radically different backgrounds - Turing was pure theoretical genius, Flowers was an apprentice mechanical engineer who put himself through night school to learn electrical engineer and then worked for the post office - together they (and others) built the Collosus Mk1).
The USPS is most certainly a government organization. It's mentioned in the Constitution. (that's the first clue). Where people get confused is that it's called a "independent agency" which simply means it doesn't fall under a Cabinet-level post. It is, however, controlled by Presidential appointees (that't the other clue it's part of the government).
Then we'll be worried about the environmental and economic implications of mining for, manufacturing, maintaining, replacing, and recycling that scale of steel, fiberglass, glass, concrete, rare earths, and 10000 skyscrapers of lithium per USA-sized-country.

Recall that in winter there is 4x less sun, and sometimes the wind doesn't blow for 10 days in a row across massive multi-state regions. The storage implications of that are ludicrous. It's far cheaper to decarbonize with a good mix of variable renewables and nuclear, even with nuclear at its current high price.

That's covered by Amazon in the shipping cost they pay to move from their warehouse to the USPS sorting facility. USPS isn't making any additional trips to not deliver packages. They drive out to the mailbox cluster every day except Sunday (a day which Amazon also said they'd deliver a package via USPS...) and go no further.
It seems like a missed opportunity if they're doing it that way. They get a bit of revenue, but they could otherwise have been more tourism friendly and done away with unnecessary ticketing infrastructure.

Lines like this: If we're simulating the spread of measles or an outbreak of wildfire, SIR is perfect. The author could have said "this kinda-sorta looks like it might be useful in simulating wildfire but I haven't checked", but of course that would be less convincing and less exciting.

Which is fine as far as it goes. The problem is what happens when someone takes one of these models seriously without actually checking the details, or without being qualified to check them.
Spooky. I just travelled to Israel and this evening, at around 3 AM, iOS notified me that WhatsApp had been accessing my location in the background, which I had never seen before except when sharing my location with a friend.
Is the SIR model a Markov model? The article doesn't mention whether or not infection can be modeled as a Markov process, but based on the graphics it looks like it.

If I understand correctly the probabilistic infection rate is "history-less"; in other words, the probability of infecting an adjacent neighbor in the current state is not determined by the state transitions of any previous iterations.

It looks like you could model this naively with a discrete time Markov chain using a 3x3 stochastic matrix and three states: healthy, infected and deceased. I would guess you could do the same thing for the SIS model using states susceptible and infected with a 2x2 stochastic matrix instead.

In either case, modeling the epidemic as a Markov process would let you estimate the probabilities of criticality using the limit of the stochastic matrix. In fact, I think the critical threshold (probability of the epidemic going critical) will be given by left multiplying the initial probability vector by the limit of the stochastic Markov matrix.

Target is also experimenting with this locally.

When you order something online, instead of shipping it from a warehouse, it is instead shipped directly from a local Target store via UPS (you can tell from the shipping label). I've had several things delivered next day as a direct result.

The major difference is that Target aren't yet advertising that this will be the case, and therefore don't guarantee it or similar. But I anticipate we'll see Target officially announce this service when they've worked out the kinks.
