New Paper Claims “No Experimental Evidence for Anthropogenic Climate Change”
I'm not posting this because I am a denier, but I read through it and it does make some interesting data-supported claims. Anyone in a related field care to read it over and give an informed opinion on the paper's quality?

Yeah I don't use racket's class system on a regular basis for anything other than racket/gui. It's not so much that I find myself unable to do things with it; it's just that it's one of the cases where racket seems dull and uninspired. If it weren't single dispatch, I don't think I (and others) would avoid it so much.

No offense to the design team intended, I'm sure they had different priorities for which single dispatch made sense.
The question is whether realizes gains reflects the consumptive access of billionaires as a category than unrealized increases in paper wealth. While an individual billionaire can in fact get a low interest loan against paper wealth for purposes of consumption, that loan will have to be paid back with cash. That cash has to either come from ordinary income, or through realization of capital gains. Unless billionaires as a category as just not paying off those personal loans, the consumption associated with those loans should be reflected in their income and realized gains.

This might be true for many businesses but likely not the large digital ones, which enjoy ungodly margins (hence why they grow so much and so quickly). A unicorn's back is strong enough to carry quite a few saddles.

> What are these native languages you speak of?

Really any of them. Swift UI is the only example I can think of where a group of folks are working on making UI easy and intuitive to create and manage inside of a native language.

Why is there not an effort to make something as intuitive in C++ or GO or Rust? C++ would probably be the hardest one, sure, and there are many UI frameworks for all of these languages but none of them are as simple or intuitive as Swift UI or how React / Vue works inside of JS.

I'd love to see some more experimentation in ways of building UI in native languages. Heck, even in managed languages like C# or Java they could use the same type of treatment.

You're right that a single short stack hand in a vacuum has fewer game tree branches, and that factoring in chip utility is also fairly straightforward. But I strongly disagree that it reduces the overall complexity of the game. The model in the article played every single hand with 100bb; to be an effective tournament player it would have to be able to fluidly adjust strategies between big, medium and short stack play, as well as reasoning about the stack sizes of other players at the table. It's basically 4 different games at >100bb, 50-100bb, 25-50bb, and <25bb, so it would have to develop optimal strategies for each. And even if the shallower stacked games are generally simpler in isolation, there's a meta strategy of knowing which one to apply in a given hand with heterogenous stack sizes. To paraphrase Doug Polk "If cash game play is a science, tournaments are more of an art."

The carrier wouldn't need too - your phone is already reporting to them everything and they can contain and go through information as needed. All routing is on their side. Your cell phone is an end client device that relies on a serial number/IMSI to access network resources tied to your identity on their network.

What you should be more concerned about, with this toolset is anyone can fetch the data around them using an off the shelf phone, and within proximity of ONE tower or whatever passes your cell phone. (Bigger antenna, bigger gain = biggr net.)

Now, what's curious is if you research GSM, SMS paging channel or else - alot of this stuff is cleartext, but you'd need something good to parse the information and isolate it per phone. This was w/ QCAT.

Back in the day of CDMA2000/3G, you could see whom the tower was trying to reach, what nearest handset was communicating with the tower and to/from (numbers) of text messages.

What's fun is determining what these numbers belonged too.

tl;dr you can do a very low range stingray.

A clickwrap contract is generally considered legally binding. If your ToS is written such that the terms can’t be changed for previously-collected data and that changes of control and asset transfers will also contain this clause, if the company or an acquirer did so, users would sue. If you wanted to give users more litigation power, explicitly state that class actions are permitted.

Now, if an acquirer changed the ToS for data collected after the acquisition, that’s a totally different story, but it wouldn’t be retroactive to data collected under the prior ToS.

Finally, if your concern is that commercial contracts aren’t enforceable, that’s a much tougher problem to solve.
Proven correct? No. It's extensively verified and validated, but that's not the same thing.

First, what are you going to prove? That it does what it's supposed to? No, because you have to have some formal definition of "what it's supposed to", and that can actually be wrong (see MCAS for an example - the software worked, the problem is that the spec was insane).

Second, as somebody (Donald Knuth?) said, it's amazing how many bugs there can be in proven-correct (or formally verified) software. Does your proof prove against all possible bugs? No. Against all possible security issues? Still no.

Third, even with those limitations, proven correct software is much harder (slower, and more expensive) to write, because the proof is really long. You want medical devices to have proven correct software? That would be nice. But we'd have maybe 2% of the medical devices that we have now, just because the proofs are so hard. That would be less nice. In particular, more people would die in that scenario from the absence of medical devices, than die in the existing scenario from bugs in them. That's less than helpful.
What does this have to do with Data Scientists? So you didn’t read up on how to log time, made unnecessary mistakes, and an inflexible collective of likely underpaid service reps didn’t care enough to go beyond the letter of the law.

So, you think the French networking infrastructure builds and maintains itself? Companies tend to only build infrastructures in very populated areas where it will quickly turn to profit. French government and collectivities have to incentivize, legalize and pay for them to properly cover the territory.

There is no need to needlessly take things to the extreme when it was very obvious that what we're talking about is in no way shape or form comparable to exploiting children.

I wouldn't go that far... or maybe it depends on what you define as "tiny".

For a place to rent you can find 2500 sqft higher end apartments relatively close to work for 3000-3500 a month. The total income of a senior engineer when you factor in the stock compensation (and not just the base salary) should more than cover for that. On top of it, many other things cost the same across the country (ex. gadgets) while your salary is much higher than other places.

Now if by "cost of living" you mean that you must _own_ a single family home, then things definitely start looking a lot more grim. But I think it's unfair to make that as some sort of basic requirement for moving somewhere, it's a very American attitude to begin with.
Your link shows how dang doesn't doesn't like comments complaining about blog layouts. I disagree with dang. Now what? Am I expected to stop using this site because I disagree with the admin? Does this mean I will be banned if I complain?

I don't think it is bikeshedding, and I enjoy judging the writer of the blog for their (according to me) failure to understand the common programmer's aesthetic preference for parenthesis-free code and also failing to understand that people mostly have wide-screen displays and full-width lines don't read very well. Are these musings allowed?

Perhaps my tone was a bit harsh, but the examples aren't even rendering properly on iOS. Compared to desktop, it's chopping off entire columns, and you can only scroll horizontally via the header, not the body of the table. Additionally, there's no scroll bar to indicate the missing columns: I only knew they were there by comparing side-by-side with the desktop site.

So yes, the responsiveness of the component is consistent with the responsiveness of the documentation site, and as I expected, the component doesn't "look really good" on mobile. After bothering looking at it, I'll consider this component the next time I build a desktop-only application.

Anaesthesia machine control should be air-gapped.

Unfortunately, in the modern world of electronic medical records, we do need access to a stream of measurement data. Historically this has been obtained using one-way serial port data streams, which is probably safer than having a network stack accessible to the web.

There's very little democracy in France as well. Corporate lobbying might not be as prevalent (simply because they don't have as many humongous corporations), but it's still the same old self-serving oligarchy story.

If we really want to compare, American-style plutocracy might actually be more democratic, because it's easier for a diverse array of citizen to become rich, than it is for French citizens to join the elite club from ENA [1] and co.

Win-win, until you realize that this action is pretty much the opening shot of a trade war, precisely because it helps local businesses. Imagine if the US responded in kind and tailored some new rules that targeted European businesses in US markets with similar taxation.
Yes, because all those local businesses are selling nothing but artisanal, locally-sourced, organic goodness; nobody other than Amazon imports goods from China.

That sounds like it's mostly just client-side attacks to get client-side effects (essentially, bypassing the DRM of the baseband.)

This makes no sense, France is not excluding french companies. there is no war , they probably need more money so they found some group to tax, in Romania the government is also in big need of money so they put a tax on telecom companies, should the UK queen get upset now if a UK telecom company that makes business here is taxed more? I mean there are no exceptions or protectionism involved but some politicians can let an opportunity to spread their agenda.

> I have 9 years experience, and if I were to to go into freelancing (The kind where you solve problems for businesses, as opposed to the kind where you're a 9-5 1099 contractor), the first thing I would do is to take a job at a consulting firm, and spend my time there learning. Figure out what works, and what really, really doesn't.

I have to disagree.

I've worked for several tech consulting firms(8 years of experience) and then started my own consulting company 2 years ago. And in my running a successful consulting firm involves 3 key skills(in order of importance).

Sales - This is definitely the hardest and most important skill. And unfortunately is also the skill developers usually have the least experience in. This involves finding leads and closing deals. This will take a long time to do and is emotionally very rough for most developers.

Customer/Relationship Skills - If you're already a nice a polite person who doesn't mind eating the occasional shit sandwich this mostly involves repeatedly learning the lesson that however important you think communication it's more important you think.

Execution - This is mostly involves a combination of being able to correctly identify requirements and technical execution skills. Most developers usually have plenty of experience hear.

The experience most developers lack is sales. And most consulting shops won't put you anywhere near a sales or account management role unless you have previous sales experience or have spent significant time at the company. A much faster route to learn these skills is to just start a company and start doing them. (while reading a bunch of books and talking to anyone you can who has relevant experience)

It's basically been true along every step of the the poker bot evolution (HU limit, HU NL, and 6-max NL) that the bots donk a lot more than the humans. 10 years ago you could find pros arguing that donking in any situation is always wrong. That's been shifting for years, but still not to the level that the bots do it.

My personal belief is that the "no-donk" strategy is an adaptation by fallible human minds to reduce the branching on the decision tree to something tractable.
It's common practise. It's how web pages commonly work for the last 15 years. Do you prefer Gopher over HTTP/HTML as well? I actually do. This page lives in some in-between universe where all users have their own client side style sheets but still use HTTP/HTML.
Why wouldn't they do both? "Stealing" money via taxation is a legal and logical way to get some money to support their other operations, perhaps even "enabling their people".
You said, "avoiding expensive kernel<-->user-space switching", which is wrong. Filesystems are implemented entirely in user space, just not in the same user space processes. Consumers exist in separate processes from the producers--plural, because the underlying block device storage may be managed by processes separate from the processes managing VFS state. Context switches are a necessary part of having separate user space processes, and context switching through kernel space (or at least some protected, privileged context) is necessary in order to authenticate messaging capabilities.

Note that there are ways to minimize the amount of time spent in privileged contexts. Shared memory can be used to pass data directly, but unless you want all your CPUs pegged at 100% utilization the kernel must be involved somehow to optimize IPC polling. In any event, the same strategies can be used for in-kernel VFS services, so it's not a useful distinction.
The logic of the GP still applies though. Sites have outages every day so it is inevitable that some large sites will fail around the same time. Also, we know that Cloudflare and Twitter outages were attributed to configuration changes, probably others have benign explanations as well.
