So you will find companies that claim they already pay way above minimum wage but it's just PR.

I just listen to podcasts in the order they get published. Alternatively, you can pick a podcast that started long ago, and just binge on the archive - Mike Duncan's work alone is enough to fill probably three or four months.

To my monkey-brain, Arctic Circle = ice. Fire is bad for ice. Fire in Arctic Circle = We all die.

That is not the case, as pointed out in the article:

So while this isn't good news, it's also not a doomsday omen as my initial emotional reaction (and surely the emotional reaction of many other people) would suggest.

Good news for the butterfly: Nobody affected by the storm will know WHICH butterfly caused it.

Also there is a detail I don't understand: Lorenz talked about the pressure differential underneath a butterfly's wing, being used in a large-scale weather simulation. But given the computing resources and thus the limited resolution of such simulations at the time, I wonder how big that butterfly must have been.

To dispute them, you'd have to raise to that level, be educated enough and able to understand the work already done, not speak empty words of doubt.

The Right Kind of Music

Even so, various kinds of 'generic' music, with notes and a tune, can be extremely useful in all our lives, no matter what our favorite kind of music may be. Of course, music is great for dancing and listening to your favorites, but there are many other uses.

When doing housework or aerobics, a really peppy tune will keep your motor revved up. But on the other hand, if you're trying to get children down for a nap, that won't do at all. However, studies have shown that soft, gentle music can be a terrific help.

You know, there are many educational songs that can help you or your children remember the things the teacher is teaching, but that you just don't get. Sing the song and you've got it! Check out Schoolhouse Rock on your computer. The grammar songs are really cute. You can learn all about nouns, verbs, those troublesome adverbs and adjectives, etc. and have fun doing it. Now that sounds unbelievable, but it's true. Perhaps you get the grammar but are having trouble remembering about government. There are songs about our presidents, how bills are passed, and more. If science is your Waterloo, Schoolhouse Rock is for you. They even have videos that are fun to watch as well as giving you the correct tune. Try it. You'll like it!

Music is great for 'Sing Alongs' to be used as 'ice breakers,' patriotic music for rallies, background music for card games and such. What would we do without holiday music? When we are feeling really unloved, insignificant, or perhaps a little 'too big headed,' opt for some religious music that will put you in your place with love.https://spontaneousreview.com/superior-singing-method-review...

I don't know elsewhere, but here (Italy) it is common enough (and highly recommended) that online "rechargeable" bank cards are used.

I don't see why one cannot give one to a kid with - say - 100 Euro initial credit on it, and let him/her do whatever he/she wants with the money.

Then manage it the same way as it was once with the (usually here weekly) "allowance", crediting on it something weekly or monthly.

I'll confess that my weekly allowance as a kid was 5.000 lire, i.e. roughly 2.5 Euro, which should say something on both my age and the effects of inflation ...
It is an interesting idea to be able to generate mind maps automatically.

I just keep a few pages aside, scribble notes, use bookmarks for pages if I am reading a book. Only when I am done, I build a mind map. Usually a book's mind map is made up of multiple mind maps, 1 per chapter.

I use mind maps for the forest overview while flash cards are my trees and leaves! I find the combination very simple to build, maintain and fun to review. Hope this helps, let me know if you want any help in your auto mind map construction idea.

And it's not a simple issue. Free movement works well for people who are comfortably off, but tends to trash the economies of those left behind. I don't think FoM is a full solution.

The end state is the end of nation states, and especially competitive nation state economies. Not only would this create a multi-trillion dollar peace dividend which could be spent on original R&D and social investment of all kinds, it would also create a massive wealth equalisation, end many of the more obvious and pointless kinds of wealth speculation, and create a global wealth boom, as location became much less important than talent and imagination.

The standard library doesn't come with persistent collections included. Just the fact that they are not standard like in some other languages, causes fragmentation.

The issue is that DLC is an umbrella term that applies to both exploitative micro-transactions as well as what used to be known as "expansions"
Every generation has problems like this. I remember my friend become addicted to calling premium phone numbers when when he was a teenager. When his parents went to work, he would have stayed home and just keep calling all day instead of going to school. Only when the bill came through post his parents went mad and started to blame everyone but themselves. Eventually they got premium numbers blocked, but his son was spending all the money he could get his hands on on call cards.
It was a phase for him, he stopped doing that after few months.
When he talked about it years later, he couldn't believe that he did this. He says he wishes his parents gave him more attention and explained to him what it is about and why it makes no sense to do something like this.
Fascist love such stories, because they can use them to tell people how they should live and create more regulations.
What do you mean by "it always terminates by design?"

However, as the comments to the post say, the author should provide a proof that the "game physics" allows to construct a functioning latch from these logic gates.

Conditional loops are not essential: the lambda calculus is TC despite lacking any loop primitives.
I'm actually arguing the opposite, that 0 ≤ i < N does have an extra term - it is just hidden! Where does the zero come from? The generalized form for picking the N'th number (with zero-based indexing) is N-1 ≤ i < N. So the 0 is N-1 which have been simplified because you know N is 1. But in that case couldn't you also just reduce the terms in the example with 1-based indexing similarly? Reducing the term in the one example to make it simpler is just cheating.

I'm not disputing the choice of closed-open rage, but I'm arguing the expressions are equally simple with either 1 and 0 based indexing.

As for an example where 1-based indexing is better, I had such an example in a another subthread: Translating between the numbers and names of months. Or indeed anywhere where you have a list of things and you want to pick them by ordinal numbers. E.g if you want the N'th president, it is simper to do presidents[N] than presidents[N-1].
> The argument seems pretty easy to follow to me.

> If you trade with someone, you help them get richer. Rich nations with rich citizens tend to be a lot less belligerent and much more reasonable, as citizens have so much more to lose.

> Poverty and crazy authoritarian leaders are like peas and carrots.

Honestly nothing here really is much of an argument. It's more of an aspiration. We want to trade with them and we want to do it morally and so we want your line of reasoning to be true.

Put it another way. We _are_ trading with many nations _despite_ of their moral short-comings. Why should they change? Our current trade issues with China have nothing to do with their human rights issues and everything to do with some belief (in some circles) that we can do better. We've known about abuses by the CCP for years and never batted an eye.

Honestly I think a huge test of your argument _is_ the current trade situation. Will China open up their markets more now or double-down and become more isolationist? The US seems to be finally putting monetary interests in second place so why not China?

Personally given that China has grown more powerful over the past few decades yet never let up on its threats of military belligerence against Taiwan (and in fact focused much of their military growth with that belligerence in mind), I see little to support the following statement:

> Rich nations with rich citizens tend to be a lot less belligerent and much more reasonable

But I definitely hope you're right!

edit: Another issue I take with this quote:

> If you trade with someone, you help them get richer. Rich nations with rich citizens tend to be a lot less belligerent and much more reasonable, as citizens have so much more to lose.

We are not trading with "someone" we are trading with many different people. The wealth isn't spread around equally. Those people on both sides don't have the same goals and interests. So even if one side is getting richer on average, it doesn't mean that there will be popular support for continuing that path. For example, the US has gotten richer on average over the years, but that hasn't stopped the backlash against many of the policies that helped that to be in place. Not everyone sees the same money.

Indeed. Dataform however only does the T (transformation) in ELT. Most businesses are centralising an exploding diversity of raw data in the data warehouse and Dataform helps them manage the data there.

One other main difference with a product like composable is that Dataform is built with software engineering best practices in mind. The transformations are written in code (SQL) rather than a GUI. It enables version control, reusable components for example and makes it easier to manage a large number of interdependent transformations.

He built an adder, which does always complete(by design). But having the ability to build AND and NOT gates(which he demonstrates) should be enough to build any computer from just those 2 components[1]. I'm not familiar with the game to comment on the correctness of the AND + NOT implementation itself though:

If NOT is modeled by flooding a power plant and causing it to turn off, would it go back to being on after a while if we stop actively flooding it? Ie, If the input goes to 0, does the output go back to 1 or not? If this doesn't hold then it's not a proper NOT gate to begin with(turns 1 to 0 but doesn't turn 0 to 1) and the implementation is flawed.

Analyzing the HDMI is definetely not an up-to-date hacking technique by any means.

It seems they they mostly focus on healthcare and education. And while the babysitting aspect of teaching can't be made more efficient the teaching aspect can be. Flatiron for instance costs less than my Alma mater per semester, and is teaching programming at 2-4x the rate I learned in undergrad.

I don't think there is any reason other undergrad/grad programs can't be made similarly more efficient.

And healthcare is obviously an ocean of waste and inefficiency.
In theory you can build a latch using only NAND gates, so it should be possible unless the gates that are demonstrated are flawed somehow, see my sibling comment.
C++ doesn't have GC, reflection, annotations, code generation utilities (annotation processors, cglib, etc), first-class generic types, existential types, rich standard library etc. That's why it is "arguable".

Dynamic types are still types. Only the error detection moment is different, but lack of static types doesn't mean low expressivity.

That is a very interesting observation.

It seems that some neural pathways are way shorter over audio ( i guess because we have perfect hearing from birth , unlike vision ), so that the "effort" to read, comprehend and store !text! information is much less.

I guess that's the reason we still have classes in schools. Orally teaching is very very old.
It's always because of the ads.

Whenever you're wondering why the video is too long, or why the author is somewhat rambling around the point, or why they include those "like and subscribe" sections in every video (sometimes at the beginning, because you'd close the tab otherwise), the answer is always to find that sweet spot that accommodates the ads. It's also why channels tend to upload videos of similar length, regardless of the topic. Sometimes they have to cut the script short, other times they have to find a way to lengthen it.

There's yet another sad story for forests among the negative externalities from the transition from socialism. There were and still are large areas of land divided up and owned by general public, which has a legacy today, see [1].

One opportunist where I live went and bought as many of these as he could, often cheaply off old people and made bank by letting people come and fell the forest on them. You can see it all around here - big swathes of bare earth cut through forested hills/mountains with no regard to sustainability. It really upsets me.

There is no known limit to GDP growth because GDP growth doesn't just depend on an increase in material goods, and value judgments can change over time. Thus it is theoretically possible that after a whole series of "this year is better than last year" growth you end up exactly where you started as values shift.

Edit: In any case, GDP growth shouldn't be a policy target.

Any time you're studying how you might influence human behaviour, especially if they may be unaware that you are seeking to do so, you need to run it by an ethics board.

This is something psychology has had issues with in the past, and so it's a sensitive area. Several nations also have laws governing these kinds of experiments as a result.

The supermarket should be assessing whether their experiment is ethical. Increasing sales of fruit and veg is unlikely to raise any red flags, but if you drive people towards unhealthy options, then you may need to assess whether or not your study has the potential for detrimental long term effects.
