The virtue of logic isn't that your model is always correct or that it should be adhered to without modification despite contrary evidence, it's that it allows you to have one to begin with. It's a method of choosing which experiments to conduct. If you think prohibition will reduce substance abuse but then you try it and it doesn't, well, you were wrong, so end prohibition.

This is also a strong argument for "laboratories of democracy" and local control -- if everybody agrees what to do then there is no dispute, but if they don't then let each local region have their own choice, and then we get to see what happens. It allows more experiments to be run at once. Then in the worst case the damage of doing the wrong thing is limited to a smaller area than having the same wrong policy be set nationally or internationally, and in the best case different choices are good in different ways and we get more local diversity.

I read somewhere that ISRO is able to launch satellites at fraction of a cost as compared to SpaceX.
That seems like a policy decision that can and should be made by the company, not Microsoft: Microsoft should feel free to release patches on any day they want, and if a common accepted practice is for IT departments to have a staged rollout of cleared patches, that sounds awesome. If I want "patch Tuesday" or even "patch Wednesday", it seems trivial for me to just do that myself.

The whole thing is great (har har) but one passage has always resonated with me ...

> When Mary T. Meagher was 13 years old and
had qualified for the National Championships,
she decided to try to break the world record in
the 200-Meter Butterfly race. She made two
immediate qualitative changes in her routine:
first, she began coming on time to all practices.
She recalls now, years later, being picked up at
school by her mother and driving (rather
quickly) through the streets of Louisville,
Kentucky, trying desperately to make it to the
pool on time. That habit, that discipline, she
now says, gave her the sense that every minute
of practice time counted. And second, she
began doing all of her turns, during those
practices, correctly, in strict accordance with the
competitive rules. Most swimmers don’t do this;
they turn rather casually, and tend to touch
with one hand instead of two (in the butterfly,
Meagher’s stroke). This, she says, accustomed
her to doing things one step better than those
around her—always. Those are the two major
changes she made in her training, as she
remembers it.

Dedicated, deliberate practice of qualitative improvements, frequent direct comparisons of oneself to one's peers and exemplars and a singular S.M.A.R.T. goal. That's all it takes to be excellent.

Experimental economics is all about seeing how markets work in practice. Mechanism design is all about taking the theory of economics and using it in the real world, where it works. Economics for the real world exists already. That’s why companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Uber hire so many Ph.D. economists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_economics

Experimental economics is the application of experimental methods[1] to study economic questions. Data collected in experiments are used to estimate effect size, test the validity of economic theories, and illuminate market mechanisms. Economic experiments usually use cash to motivate subjects, in order to mimic real-world incentives. Experiments are used to help understand how and why markets and other exchange systems function as they do. Experimental economics have also expanded to understand institutions and the law (experimental law and economics).

The Lisa was a good machine, but there was one big problem. Motorola had come out with the M68000, but not the MMU for it. 680x0 MMUs were years late, and the first one was terrible. The Lisa had a real OS, and needed an MMU. That had to be built out of smaller parts, which increased the cost enormously.

There was also a major bug in the M68000 - instruction backout didn't work. That was fixed in the 68010. But on the 68000, a page fault was not handled properly if a register had incrementation set. So the Lisa compiler had to be dumbed down to not use that feature, slowing down execution somewhat.

If Motorola had fixed those problems sooner, the history of personal computing might have been very different. Intel's x86 machines, with their 16 bit address spaces, might have gone nowhere on the desktop.

Hence the cost-reduced Macintosh - no MMU, no memory protection, no CPU dispatcher. Also no hard drive. The original 128K Mac was a flop commercially. Not until memory cost came down and Apple got a hard drive into the product did it sell successfully. The IBM PC had a hard drive earlier, which got them going in business use. The floppy-only Macs were incredibly slow.
It's mostly so the product doesn't mold over. Skincare products are excellent mold cultivation medium: they're stored at ambient temperature (or more), they provide moisture (and are stored in moisture-rich environments) and they're full of interesting nutrients.

They are taking a jab at Indian government. They took a jab even when Modi was not in power because the "west" says "India is a poor country and should focus on food security than space program"

It is pure racism? I'm not sure of the exact term.

P.s. I remember such a cartoon when India had asked for some missile technology few decades ago.

It is not about Modi but about general attitude of the west towards India

Honestly, that branding for actual meat also makes me feel like I am getting a commodity product: I start to associate the food item together with all of the other food items I get which are "this same thing with different condiments" as opposed to "this unique meal that is notable for being from this restaurant". I actually really like the Impossible Burger, but it now feels like I am ordering the exact same product from every single restaurant... and this is not at all helped by how, to maintain the strength of their brand, they insist on certain kinds of preparations of their patties.
From the pitchfork link in comments:

> Unsurprisingly, Nicholas has a theory about this as well. “The situation that makes the most sense to me is that these minidiscs were digitized by a third party so the band could choose material from them for the OKNOTOK box set, and that someone involved at the third party stole the files and traded them,”
IMHO, DRDO cannot be equated with DARPA.

DARPA tries to solve every challenge, irrespective of the field, by opening contracts to the national public and holding contests among them. The winning solution is often adopted for further enhancement.
This is not true. I've been through an economics program and a lot of theories have empirical data to support them. Of course it's much harder to prove there is causation and not only correlation (and all that that entails), but that's part of being a topic which to a large extent deal with social phenomena (people).

Can't dig up anything now but a lot of phenomena in papers (though of course far from all /majority) do or reference some sort of quantitative research).
I can confidently believe that this album was never meant for ‘real’ release and therefore that this is not a stunt.

While the archive has some gems and recordings that many in the Radiohead fan community have heard whisper of but certainly never thought they would hear - it also contains some very rough recordings, some poor playing and singing and some pieces that I’m sure the band find embarrassing and would never choose to release themselves unless forced into a corner like this.
Thanks for sharing. Within the extended family different people grow into different roles. You have the aunt who everyone confides in she always tells you as it is whether you want to hear it or not. But since you know it is coming from a place of love its all good. In your 20s you do all the running around. Slaughtering whatever animal needs to be slaughtered. In your 30 and 40s you the ones that make sure things move. You help organise weddings, family meetups, funerals and so on. All these occasions tend to be big back home. Then you transition into a senior role where you act as an advisor to the 30 year olds organising everything. Finally when you are grandmother/father age you just an honoured guest who can do whatever they want :-). You become the joker, family historian ... whatever you want really.

Indian Lawmakers Propose Adoption of 10-Year Jail Term for Crypto Dealings
Since pub streams are much more expensive and the pool is much smaller, you could probably tag each pub stream individually on the fly, with a visual representation of a (pubid, date) hash.

Pub streams are also probably harder to pirate. You might get a single stream license and use it in the 3 bars you own, but then the service provider would quickly wonder how comes you own 3 sports bars and have a single license.
From that document and other reading, I think it's also when combination of information results in being able to identify a person. For example, dynamic IP address + timestamp is not enough for anybody but the ISP. But add in other information, for example HTTP headers, it might be unique enough.

Also, what they're saying is some things trump privacy. Legal requirements to keep logs. Legitimate interest, e.g. billing. Defending against cyber attacks. Using that information for other purposes is still a no-no.

TL;DR: IP address + other info often becomes PII, and there are some exceptional cases where it's legitimate to store PII despite privacy concerns.
"Shooting ahead" == repeating what the west did 50 years ago. Interesting definition of shooting ahead.
The west (as if that's even a coherent body for topics like this) has many problems. Being overtaken by India isn't one of them. So far it's all "we want to do this, we want to do that" - I want to be a billionaire, doesn't make me one. We'll see if they can pull it off.

The same line of reasoning applies to IT departments as well, though. If you force corporate IT departments to spend all their time installing your daily updates, the cost of ownership of your product for the company goes way up and the department heads will start looking for cheaper alternatives. Exceptions could surely be made for critical vulnerabilities, especially those being exploited in the wild, but this is a low-severity DoS. As another commenter said, if you made this an off-schedule hotfix you would have to do it for basically every bug.
My city has also recently got them. Parking isn't so much of an issue (there aren't that many yet, and our sidewalks are quite big so there is a lot of space) it's just how people drive them. Mainly I'm just concerned how long it will be until someone is killed, and then the city will most likely outright ban them even though they are a good idea.

Most cyclists ride on the pavement as it's not really safe to ride on the road. They are lots of potholes and drivers aren't really aware how to share the road with cyclists. Maybe scooters can help change this, but anyway.

At pedestrian crossings, cyclists are required to dismount and walk their bike across. The majority of crossings don't explicitly stop traffic, but require traffic to yield to pedestrians. There are a lot of junctions with traffic lights where if you turn off the main route, as you turn you need to yield to pedestrians. If a bike is coming at 15km/h towards the crossing, your chances of seeing it are a lot less, hence the law. Scooter riders of course don't follow that rule, and at night with their dim lights (which may be coming from behind you, so in your blind spot) you aren't going to see them.

Once I was driving along a fast three lane road. The speed limit is 40km/h, but most people do 50-60. There were two scooters coming the wrong direction in one of the lanes - there was a perfectly useable sidewalk that they could have used.

Another time I pulled off from a red light, going straight across a junction. A scooter drove across the pedestrian crossing parallel in the same direction, then at the end swerved right in front of me, switching from the pavement to the road.

I think part of the issue is that you pay per minute. It causes people to rush and act irrationally, rather than taking their time and being safer. I've seen the same happen with car sharing schemes where you pay per minute.
I live in NL and have never learned about this, do you have any more info?

These are very good lessons, however they are (as the nature of them is described in the article) difficult to make consequence of in our daily lives. We should try our best but it seems that the lesson itself is that we are unable to make use of them as we go. It is only in retrospect we can acknowledge that they are still true.

One interesting question could be if we humans one day will surrender to "our obvious flaws" that makes these lessons true and allow ourselves to be "ruled" or "guided" by an AI who actually is able to take these lessons into practical consequence when we make our daily decisions in life, business and politics. It could be an idea for the TV-series Black Mirror to investigate.

The first ingredient to being an artist is having the boldness to start creating something.

Well, when did left wing anybody engage in violence against a right wing anything? Nobody's driven their car through a Trump rally, have they?

I'm from England, BTW, where "nutcase" is a part of the common vernacular and I'm sorry you've taken offence.

But I'm not sure about gullible. Did people vote for Trump because they were persuaded he would be a good leader? If they merely decided of their own accord then presumably this is naivety. Are there people who voted for Trump and are happy with his performance? In which case their decision making skills have served them well. As for the electorate as a whole, well, that's democracy for you.
