It's probably more accurate to say "desireable" instead of "profitable" here. The decision maker at the acquirer has to believe that there is some profit in it from them, but that doesn't necessarily have much to do with profitability of either side of the transaction, it could just mean a bigger bonus, or shutting out a competitor, or so on.

The general idea of spotting and analyzing ongoing disinformation campaigns seems similar to the Taiwanese system that was recently discussed on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20083829

That also includes a strategy of responding to detected campaigns before they go viral by issuing counter-statements. The EU might want to do something similar.

It’s purportedly [1] better at ~1500 BTU per passenger-mile versus ~2300 for air travel, but I couldn’t find any methodology there.

Most of the long-distance trains are diesel. If you read their full sustainability report [2] you can see that diesel fuel is their second largest cost, which means it’s also the primary source of energy.

Caltrain, for example, is still trying to raise funds for electrifying the system here in the Bay Area. It’ll soon be thirty years, since it was first proposed apparently [3].

I use a steelcase leap v2, great chair. Picked it up for about $250 used a few years ago.

However, I recently bought 3 aerons, for about $90 each. Figured I'd sell 2 of the aerons and keep 1 aeron and the leap for myself for two different offices.
I'm slowly getting to the point where I consider macros to be an admission of defeat on the part of the language designer. They are a Pandora's box leading to impenetrable, bespoke domain-specific languages. They also don't compose the way functions do, yet they usually masquerade as functions by using the same syntax.

By giving you more control over evaluation order, Haskell goes a long way toward giving you functions powerful enough to replace the macros you would've written in Lisp. That seems like the right approach to me.
I’ve been happy with my Ikea Markus. It was maybe $150 in the as-is section.

I’ve sat in Herman Miller Aerons at work for many years, and sitting on this all day while working remote has been great. No issues. I’ve had it 4 years now and still going strong. I’ve been quite happy esp considering the cost savings compared to the more “pro” brands.

Not specific to this chair, but I unscrewed the arm rests and find that it helps my posture a lot. With the arm rests attached I tended to lean on one side or the other and would type from an angle that strained my forearms and wrists. Took them off and the pain went away shortly after.

Also I keep the recliner disabled/locked (back stays in upright position) again, to help avoid my common sources of bad posture.

This is all fine, and bubbles do pop. But look at the DJIA, nearly every point looking back looks like a bubble. So if bubbles pop do they drop to zero? Or can we say that while the highs we see today may drop compared to where they are now, that we have continued to move the average in the right direction?

My second point is, it is also hard to tell if you are not in a bubble, and you won't know until retroactively you see why.

If anything, I’m more afraid of instant frictionless deletes - in my experience, they’re almost always implemented by setting a “this is totally deleted” flag and then scheduling a job to do the actual deletion. (Not that this is inherently an evil practice! In many contexts, users expect to be able to fix accidental deletions and will get really mad if they can’t.)
This is my beef with (my understanding maybe incomplete, in which case I apologise) the implementation.

As far as I can tell from an slightly extended skim of this text, this is a case of people from an adjacent field (theoretical GR) writing a paper that finishes with a remark about their abstract model that does not easily translate to the one used by the EHT.

In fact, I find this rather nice summary towards the end of the article:

"In particular, EHT’s simulations show all of the effects mentioned above; there’s none of this of which they are unaware. [...] Thus it’s not enough to argue the photo itself is ambiguous; one has to argue that EHT’s more subtle analysis methods are flawed. No one has argued that yet, as far as I am aware."

To me this reads very much like "I probably shouldn't have used 'controversy' in the title".

Based on observations I have the opposite view. A lot of human behavior would not make sense if we only measured resources and not social competition over wealth and status. There is even biological aspects like stress which get effected by the relative status between members of a community.

This is incredible. I mean it's a long way to seeing this in affordable silicon solar cells, but still amazing to me that the materials engineering can accomplish things like this.

It leads to roughly a twenty percent boost in theoretical max efficiency. If that can be translated to a twenty percent actual improvement, that's huge.
I had a tilt-mech-ish problem with my Aeron when it was just past its ninth birthday. I don't know about warranty policies on current sales, but my Aeron came with a 10 year warranty. My local H-M dealer dispatched a service tech to my house who replaced the broken bits and a bunch of other worn parts at no cost to me. The chair is now almost 20 years old and all of the fiddly bits still work. I replaced the (torn) mid-back brace a year or so ago at a cost of something like $75. That seemed like a lot until I pondered how long and well that chair has served me.

Since their photo site doesn't seem to link back to the main site, let me put in a good word for SpaceWeather.com:

http://www.spaceweather.com/

Yes, it looks old fashioned and it has a lot of ads. But it's full of interesting stuff, like the photo of last Tuesday's total solar eclipse taken from Moon orbit by Longjiang-2.

The site is run by Dr. Tony Phillips, a high school science teacher in Bishop, California, and occasional writer for NASA. His students launch balloons to the edge of space and run science experiments on them:

http://earthtosky.net/

The balloon rises until it pops, the payload parachutes down and the students scramble across the desert to pick it up.

To finance the missions, they fly jewelry, golf balls, stuffed toys and trinkets on the balloons and sell them in their online shop. Or you can sponsor one of their research flights for $500, send up whatever you want and get a video of your item in flight.

Maybe I can get a few ham radio operators together to send up some kind of radio experiment. Sounds like great fun for us, as well as sponsoring the student research.

I think Dr. Tony's students will do some great things in their careers!

I'm an experienced backend software engineer/generalist with experience on every level of the stack. Highlights include designing custom priority queues, writing a microservice monitoring solution, debugging distributed locks, and participating in multiple AWS to Google Cloud migrations. I've been involved with 4 billing systems and wrote two of them. My favorite professional project so far is an incredibly massive Kubernetes-powered media transcoding cluster. I've also got some extensive ops experience.

My experience with lower levels of the stack comes from my personal projects. The most impactful of these was implementing a significant optimization in the Rust compiler which reorders struct and enum fields to reduce the memory footprint of your code. It's much more complicated than it sounds. I've got a write-up on my blog [0] My other sizeable personal project is Libaudioverse [1] a large C++ library for audio synthesis not dissimilar to WebAudio [2]. Highlights include a parallelizing workflow engine and hand-written SIMD optimizations.

I'm looking for a full-time position with either scheduling flexibility or at least part time remote. My favorite technology is Rust, but I'm open to anything.

I had Aerons for years, and finally got rid of my last one for an Embody. I definitely think the Embody is an upgrade from an Aeron. At least for me, the mesh was uncomfortable and I prefer the fabric of the Embody. I also really like the fact that it's taller and supports more of my back.

We picked up 2 Embodys used for less than the price of one new one. The only negative was we had to drive from Austin to Houston and back (around a 6-hour round trip.) This was still worth it, because we saved almost $2K vs. buying new. One of the Embodys had a broken piece that doesn't affect functionality, so we got a true deal.

The place that we went also had Steelcase Leap chairs, Aerons, and many more high-end chairs and furniture. We found it via craigslist originally. I would definitely suggest finding the places like this vs. buying online.

> Assuming price is one of the dimensions, this is generally a true statement. Otherwise we'd have a bunch of best-in-class products that are cheaper than inferior competitors.

You say this like it's an absurd condition but we can observe exactly this condition all the time, with new manufacturing techniques and labor practices creating better products for less resources all the time.

One place I love to observe this phenomenon is cars, where often even new inexpensive cars are superior in many dimensions to older luxury cars (including passenger amenities). But brand attachment and carefully seeded misleading advertising allows luxury vendors to keep their prices high despite a slower product development cycle.

Optimizing shuffle performance using Nemo
I agree with you. From my point of view, the advantage of C/C++ for UI is not about high level logic, but complicated custom widget with lots of low level functions and good performance. C/C++ is not good for a weather app, but almost the only choice for the canvas of Photoshop or the waveform of Audition, and it seems like no one else considers seriously challenging this. I am confident that given enough time, Rust will be adopted for social app or game GUI. But I don’t know if this would prevent Rust from writing practical large productivity software.
It’s also somewhat misleading we already have solar cells over this theoretical limit. They operate by having multiple layers that operate on different frequencies. So, this really more an alternative manufacturing approach.

> Quantum mechanics can be simulated classically with an exponential slowdown.

This is actually quite subtle. For example, I don't see how you can "simulate" bell non-locality. Is it even possible to define the word "simulate" here? The whole status of quantum randomness is unsettled, I don't think it can be settled, but anyway it is not as straightforward as you suggest.

Cache optimized means that either the processor is able to prefetch the data before it is needed or it is already in cache. It's exactly this situation in which memory doesn't matter at all. Workloads like web servers or databases that run on servers are generally not cache optimized at all. Your Java, python or php program is going to use a lot of pointers which will incur memory accesses. So yes Intel cpus would be better at this but calling these workloads cache optimized is completely wrong.
Those are fatalities, not crashes.

They had the exact same number of crashes, plus one near-crash. Very similar to me. Planes flew with much lower passenger loads in those days so total fatalities can differ.

I don't know what the exact crash rate (i.e., % flights that end in hull loss) was.

I've often had this experience, even in Java's less expressive type-system.

Following dynamic typing folks, I checked and I found that most of the type errors wouldn't have mattered anyway. I was mostly "pleasing the compiler".

So I wonder if some correlation is going on as well, to do with personality or development style, to cause this experience?

Perhaps... people who like types are extra finicky/perfectionistic, so their code tends to more carefully thought-out (which takes longer). And they try to structure code so it can be verified as they go along.

Also, each time you fix a compiler error, you are engaging with the codebase, making it easier to spot logic/semantic errors.

e.g. for myself, I like to have a complete mental model before major coding; break it down into simpler parts; do experimental coding to check ideas I'm not sure of; and try to avoid complex and difficult-to-track-down bugs by coding a little at a time (so if there is a bug, it's related to what I just added).

tl;dr type-lovers are also bug-aversive
