Odd that they made the comparison to Beyond Meat since they talked about cell culture fish, not really comparable to Beyond Meat which uses plants which we already know how to grow at scale.

Crying that something is too abstract to settle is a problem, too. If someone is refusing to let you move past something you wish they'd just let go, it's possible they're right and you owe it to them to persuade them or use force.

Edit: persuasion is generally preferable to force.
On the other hand, beyond meat has quickly become a household name and the trademark is losing meaning quickly.

That's not what that quote implies. It implies that underrepresented demographics were less likely to enroll in classes that were known as having harsher grading curves than other classes. It doesn't imply that the standards for passing the class were lowered or the performance of underrepresented demographics was lower than non-underrepresented demographics once they enrolled in the course.

It stores the data locally, so first you have to break into the system, then the encrypted container of the app. If someone does that then you are probably a pretty high value target and have different problems.

At the risk of courting controversy, I'll confess that I haven't even so much as considered using Golang on the basis that it's a language ostensibly controlled by Google.
I have reason to believe that my moral stance against Google is shared by many in the development community, but I don't recall ever seeing this sentiment extended to Golang.
The anti-Oracle sentiment is thick and heavy in the development community, mainly surrounding Oracle's predatory business practices and how they leverage them via Java. I've completely avoided investing in Golang for that very reason, I don't want to ever become beholden to Google's services in order to maintain further development in this language.

> Vyoman. almost sounds like Woman. :D

The word vyomanaut (vyo‧ma‧naut) is a portmanteau of Sanskrit vyoman (sky or space) and the suffix -naut which forms nouns meaning a voyager.
A supply curve indicates simply what a firm is willing to produce for a given price, everything else being equal. It is purely a conceptional tool, as reality corresponds to only one point on that line.
That point, jointly derived with demand, is the logical (even mechanical) consistent solution to these two assumptions - both supply and demand are sensitive and dependent on price.

Economies of scale relate to costs. They may, for example, be modeled by decreasing marginal costs.

If, for example, economies of scale increase, and costs are reduced, the supply curve will shift outward.
This then leads to a lower price. That is 100% conventional econ 101.

On the other hand, the supply curve, however it may look, already includes the economies of scale that presently exist - the whole dependence of supply and quantity. Economies of scale are, as such, compatible with standard supply curves, but nothing keeps you from using more complicated cost setups.

The point is just that a supply curve, just as a demand curve, is one functional (or relational) dependence at a given time. Any changes will shift these curves, as the underlying tradeoffs change.

Supply and demand curves are functions of price, however they only represent, not encode, the underlying behavior. It is absolutely standard to have pricing power in the market. The supply curve is then, of course, no longer a simple uni-dimensional affair. You can, however, still draw it as a function of other prices (for example).
Supply curves are not the underlying behavioral assumption, they are a useful representation thereof.

I'd argue, for example, that Cost+Markup is the most standard way, in economics, to model a firm's pricing behavior, such as in oligopoly models.

The valuable insight from economics, which generalizes the simple demand and supply curves, is that this Markup is not arbitrarily set, but depends both on demand and on other suppliers.

Without these simple mental models, many people come to wrong conclusions about what happens in markets!

Quotes from anime Space Brothers

Tomii Ryūnosuke: The American thinker Buckminster Fuller once called our planet "Spaceship Earth." On the other hand, British scientist James Lovelock stated that our planet was a life form named Gaia. I was always puzzled by the contrast between spaceship and life form. But the British scientist Richard Dawkins helped tie it together. Humans can be considered the Earth's genes. The planet is trying to self-replicate. That is natural behavior for a life form.

Tomii Ryūnosuke: Michael Ende once compared humans to cancer cells, but I believe that humans are germ cells. However, there is the possibility that any of us could become the cancer cell that destroys Earth.

Tomii Ryūnosuke: If we are truly Earth's genes, the purpose of space exploration is because mutation is necessary.
Mock Interview Resources for Software Engineering Interviews?
Howdy ya'll, a little bit about me: I’m a rising senior aiming to go into software engineering after graduation, and currently preparing for full-time recruiting this fall. I’ve spent many hours on Leetcode, CTCI, and HackerRank to hone my algorithm skills.

The next step in the interview prep is to find a good mock interviewing platform, but I can’t seem to find any. Only one I heard of is SoftwareTrain ( https://softwaretrain.gettechtrained.com/ ) , but they’re new so don’t know much about them. Do you guys know of any other ones?

Please comment which resources you guys are using for mock interviews.

While the term "Whataboutism" is effective rhetorically I find that it tends to silence rather than encourage discussion when the discussion strays towards pointing out hypocritical situations.

Expressing criticism of immoral behaviour of one's perceived "own side" is a way of fighting back and it's more effective when more people do it. It's the raison d'être of free speech laws.

Right, that was my original reaction to the headline.

Hell no. Try typing "sci fi" or "utopia" in Netflix and look at the results. It's all dark and grimy dystopias. If anything, people thinking about the future need to come up with things that are far LESS "real" if we want people to keep a modicum of hope.

Skylake-X L3 latency is ~20ns. So if you build an SPSC queue between them, how many plugins are we chaining up linearly that this becomes an issue, or even a factor? 1000 might get us to 1ms?

>>The machines don't have to be diverted from some other use, they can be created when they wouldn't otherwise have existed.

Of course, that's capital formation. You're not going to get more capital formation as a result of artificially raising manufacturing costs.

>>You're assuming that money directly represents current-day resource allocation with a lack of flexibility.

I don't understand what you mean and how it relates to my point.

>>But that's exactly what you're arguing. You're currently making revenue equivalent to $15/hour on labor cost of $9/hour. You could make the $15/hour on automation cost of $10/hour instead if the labor cost rises to $11, and you will, because you still want the $15 which is enough more than $10 to be worth your investment.

If my profit margin goes down, it's possible I close shop and invest the financial capital in real estate. Making manufacturing cost more does not cause more to be spent on manufacturing.

Let's imagine for a moment that all capital was automation capital, and that the only kind of investment was investment into new automation machinery. Will you acknowledge that in this scenario, a rise in minimum wage would lead to less output, and less investment into new automation?

I honestly think that this article is more about trying to take down independent but huge following journalists/creators than it's about shining light on radicalization. This could be because of these independent creators are taking away too much of these huge media company/newspaper's profits.

GPS was developed by the military for missiles and jets, operated by the Air Force, although the time reference is provided by the US Naval Observatory (as I recall).

The intensely visceral nature of defense tends to motivate some exceptionally creative thinking. Primary research may have been done a long time ago, but early applications are often first recognized and funded by the DoD.

The Hubble is essentially a Keyhole satellite turned 180 degrees.

A non-trivial number of the US weather satellites are in place to secure US ships and aircraft ahead of significant weather events. E.g. the DMSP is operated by the Air Force (1).

The DoD has a $70B research budget and spends over $1B annually on medical research alone.

Depends on your legal system. It doesn't have to be letter of the law, which is how the US operates, leading to abominations of phrasing like "damages including but not limited to foo, bar, baz" etc. In other jurisdictions, spirit of the law is good enough, so you can just write "damages" and something like a reasonable person test is applied.

Example: In the US, rent agreements can be dense, 30 page affairs and still be legally binding. In Europe or Australia, 5 pages or less usually suffices, and longer documents may simply be ruled unreasonable.

Mercedes don’t have a monopoly on car distribution. If people doesn’t like the price of Merc’s then there are dozens of other alternatives. If people don’t like the price of media content then there is no other (legal) alternatives.

This is also why broadcasters have gotten away without much innovation in the industry when compared to what’s happening in other equivalent sectors.

Edit: Or at least not much innovation outside of rights management. Ironically they’ve spent more time and energy innovating ways to stop people accessing content than ways of improving their respective services.
While I don't share the GP's taste for charas, 'better' is relative. Many people do not care for this industrial approach to something they regard as quasi-sacred, in the same way that many people are turned off by overly processed food.

Newaccount456 has already covered your confusion over the difference between a movement of and a shift along the supply curve adequately. That entirely covers the more than one equilibrium point because even in Econ 101 they tell you the curves shift. Of course there are multiple equilibria. Increasing, decreasing and constant economies of scale will be in every intro textbook.

Re: Price taking or perfect competition, that’s just one of the basic models of price determination. Monopoly, monopsony, oligopoly and monopolistic competition are all treated in introductory courses too and if you got as far as an intermediate course they’d cover the Bertrand, Cournot and Stackleberg models of oligopolistic competition and how they contrast with perfect competition and monopoly. Even introductory microeconomics will cover the three basic methods of price determination verbally.

Your penultimate paragraph also relies on not being able to distinguish between a movement of a demand curve and a shift along an existing one.

Everything you wrote is covered in intro micro.

I think it is because the "nutcases" (a rude term BTW) were specified to be on one side of the political spectrum, and that the country chosen for the example of "persuading the American electorate" (later referred to as "Gullible people") also implies something about one side of the political spectrum. Overall, the comment strongly implies that one side of the political spectrum has the "nutcases" and "Gullible people".

It's indeed "the west" that's in need of advice like this. I'd be a bit weary of neo-colonialist arguments like this as well. There's a sense of entitlement there that is increasingly at odds with the facts.

I think the west might need to wake up to the notion that increasingly China, India and others are running the show according to their own agendas rather than following in the footsteps of the west. A lot of the CEOs of companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. are Indians. Lots of Indians are also active in core industries in the US and the EU. Likewise, lots of Chinese can be found across our industries at all layers and both are primary customers for our best universities. Both have the education, expertise, and economies to produce a moonshot. And neither of them is lacking in ambition. I think it's become more a question of when than if, and sooner rather than later.

Either way, there's a new space race on and I think this is a good thing. We've been stuck not getting back to the moon mostly for budgetary and other non technical reasons. It's about time people go back there.
People seem to ignore the benefits of national goals like the space race. Look at the surge in Physics PhD’s during the Apollo program:
