Because yield is only meaningful when considered in a context with risk, and many investing agents are risk averse enough to include a large amount of low-yield low-risk investments in their investment mixture.

Wow, this is a great read. Thanks Dan.
This seems pretty straightforward:

- company notices that an employee is working on an Open Source project that could help the company.

- company sponsors development or allows the employee to continue to work on it during employment.

- company now believes that they control everything that happens with the project, including forking.

- and apparently believes that stating (correctly) that you made something counts as a misrepresentation of ownership?

Modest Tree's noncompete clause that they list doesn't extend past employment, so there's nothing that would prevent the author from competing with Zenject. And Zenject is Open Source, which means anyone can fork it.

Maybe they assumed that if they sued the author, they'd just back down. Sometimes I kind of hate lawyers.

When I joined my current company, I got in writing on my contract that I would be allowed to continue working on Open Source projects and side projects, even for commercial reasons, as long as they were disclosed to the company. Though I assume if they sued me after I left, it would still be an expensive life-altering event just to get the case dismissed.

I hope the judge slaps down Modest Tree hard.
I think this is exacerbated by a dual blind-spot in both our thinking and languages regarding the difference between "how something was the last time we checked" and "how something intrinsically/durably/permanently is and will be no matter how many times we check". It probably isn't something we've needed in large quantities for long.

Your question focuses on psychology (and I agree it's important here), but this probably happens to greater and lesser degrees when studying any complex adaptive system.

Say you go study the carbon-uptake potential of a few species of tree, model how planting more trees could impact the climate, and click the publish button.

Your research may already be out of date. Your ability to completely control variables in a complex system has limits. Most of the environmental measurements that went into your model are moving targets. Even if your model is predictive at publication, there's a good chance there are unmodeled dependent variables lurking.

What if your research captures the zeitgeist? What if you inspire the planting of a hundred-billion trees? Do your measurements consider lone trees? Does the density and surface area forested (and eventually the weather-shifts a large forest triggers) impact how it grows and functions as a carbon sink? What if your research inspires someone to plant a massive monoculture that ultimately incubates and spreads a parasite that ultimately destroys the species?
That's incorrect, sorry.
Reading the other news coverage and not just Povey’s screed, it sounds more like white fragility than genuine injustice.
EPYC has registered memory. While ECC is (traditionally) more common in RDIMMs, it's also available in UDIMMs.

I would add that I'm one of the people who's benefited. There seems to be an unspoken belief that progressives are only those who have lost economically. I've gone from an ivy-league education to a 6-figure salary out of college to self-funding a profitable business making $4M/year. I'm also in my mid 20s.

In my business, almost all of my employees are low-skill. I pay everyone at least a living wage and it's impossible to ignore the realities of their lives. When I make more money, it goes to our savings. When I give an employee a raise, they buy something they need immediately, like a new car or new clothes.
Oh, you can just obtain a signed iOS image with law enforcement features enabled.

I assume all law enforcement features are enabled independent of the investigation, as some of them may be solely for investigating crimes involving non-consensual photography.

So what is needed for that is a solution that trades lower efficiency for lower capital cost. Hydrogen burned in gas turbines may be that solution, if the cost of mediocre efficiency electrolyzers can be made low enough.

> Much of the money isn't going to other investments. It goes to savings.

This is nonsense. Saving in a bank expands the bank's ability to lend. Saving in treasury bonds finances government operations. Saving in the stock market provides the incentive for VCs to invest in startups. Saving in municipal or corporate bonds finances the leveraged operations of those entities, contributing to better long-term planning. Saving in gold at least turns the money over to someone else who will probably spend it on something more useful than gold. For the most part, saving is investment. Only in niche scenarios does saved money leave the money supply.
From the letter linked in the article:

> In sum, your own oral and written statements to the OIE investigator, the Dean’s Office, and
others clearly establish the following:

> On May 8th, 2019, carrying bolt cutters and leading a group of non-affiliates to campus, you
forcibly entered Garland Hall in the middle of the night. By your own admissions, your
actions were premeditated and you expected that your actions could result in a violent
confrontation with students and others in or around Garland Hall. In fact, you believed the
group of non-affiliates you brought with you could become violent. As a faculty member at
Johns Hopkins University, you created a dangerous situation that could have ended in
serious harm to our students, yourself, and others in the community.

> Prior to May 8th, 2019, JHU administrators had clearly and repeatedly instructed you that
Garland Hall was closed and that you were not permitted to enter, despite your requests
for permission to access the computer servers in the building. You acted in deliberate
defiance of the administration’s directives. You have flagrantly and unapologetically
violated JHU directives and your actions have endangered the University community.
Further, you stated you feel no remorse or regret for your actions.

I don't understand how these events are acceptable. Neither Daniel Povey nor JHU seem to dispute any of the critical facts. How is recruiting some muscle to go bust some heads, in any universe, an acceptable course of action? For any employer?

What about "Suse"? ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE )

I understood that it's often used in corporations as an alternative for RedHat => maybe Suse will have to merge as well with some other company if the combo RedHat&IBM in/directly shrink their revenues?

E.g. maybe Suse will be excluded from IBM's support? ( https://www.suse.com/partners/alliance/ibm/ )

If it's my system, find a new hard drive and instructions on how to install linux for this hardware. remove hard drive.

If it's someone else's system, explain to them that perhaps every single keystroke is saved and sent to microsoft, along with other data. Explain that data could be used by advertisers to influence your decisions, but also by attorneys, gov agencies and more.
Suggest they try linux. Walk them through the setup process and point out so many default settings that are privacy averse. Again suggest linux.
Research how to make the hardware dual-boot.
Explain that others windows systems may have already been setup to include these privacy stealing defaults and other data stealing parts of the Microsoft ecosystem could also be hoovering up data.
Suggest putting a sticker on the keyboard and screen and box warning other people who may use it, that all information sent or received from said device is being recorded and shared by multiple different groups of people and can later be used against you by any number of various agencies.

Show them linux running, demand that they use it unless they need the windows partition for gaming.

It doesn't have to be "winner picking" you could have some policy like subsidizing private sector business loans for small business, coupled with additional small business tax breaks (maybe payroll tax breaks as well?). This would accomplish the goal of encouraging small businessess without the government having to evaluate small businesses on their merits.
I didn't try the trackballs that you use your fingers with. The thumb-controlled ones are pretty natural to use, as the left and right click actions and the scroll-wheel are identical to a regular mouse.

If anyone is having difficulty typing for whatever reason, you may want to check out the dictation-toolbox organization on GitHub [1]. About a decade ago I began developing symptoms from excessive typing on a MacBook Pro (that short key travel distance is a killer). The pain is still pretty persistent, but I have ways of managing and part of that was relying on dictation. When I got started with dictation, I saw several people were solving different parts of the same problem in different ways. The dictation-toolbox organization is my attempt to collate all of that work together.

Unfortunately, there's not a great out-of-the-box solution and there are several tools in there that still "compete" in some sense. But, at least they're all centrally located and devs from the various projects bounce ideas off each other. Each of the devs is very responsive and will help you get started. Pull requests are always welcomed, but even just suggestions for overall improvements are well-received.

Whether due to genetics or environment, an injury/condition can be annoying enough. Having it also potentially compromise your source of income is just additional stress. I won't say dictation is a silver bullet, but it really helped me out. Hopefully it can help you out as well.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions, need help getting started, or want to get involved.

That doesn't really help, it just replaces the intimidating powers of recall with equally-intimidating powers of managing twenty years of bookmarks without drowning under them.
Such crimes great large networks of people who "know too much" and have to be silenced by money. It should be easy to find out in a social graph who becomes rich just by virtue of association with a certain group/individual, no matter how previous buisness endavours failed.
It irks me to see predictions talked about as if past events. But this is a more solid guess than most.

Actual progress has been impressive: 85% reduction in the 2010-18 period, says the article. Graph here: [1] Getting another 50% in 10 years can probably be done from manufacturing scale alone. Giant battery pack factories seem to be going up all over.

This is something that ought to be almost totally automated, but doesn't yet seem to be. You're making large numbers of identical units for years per model, the best case for automation. Somebody will get that right soon.

Do we get more energy density? 2x more, and gasoline cars are toast.

Investment doesn't increase the size of the economy if it doesn't result in increased spending. Spending money on a product or service is the only way to grow the economy.

Investment often results in money effectively leaving the economy as its multiplier rates are much lower than giving the money to consumers who spend it quickly, usually to small businesses that spend the money quickly.
so in other words, you multiply by 1.6. How is having facility with powers of 2 helping you here other than knowing that 2^4 = 16?

I mean, I get what you're saying in that doubling a value several times is relatively easy mental math, and at the same time, this whole thread strikes me as overcomplicating something that doesn't need this much complexity and abstraction.

There is, of course, speculation in the market. My objection was to use of the phrase "pure speculation."

As Benjamin Graham said, the stock market is a voting machine in the short term but a weighing machine in the long term.
> Much of the money isn't going to other investments. It goes to savings.

Savings and investments are synonyms in this context. See, eg, the savings identity (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saving_identity). When Joe Millionaire "saves" some money, he does so by investing it. That's what the word means.

> The problem with giving money to the wealthy is that it doesn't go to startups, it leaves the economy and increases a number on someone's terminal.

That's not how money or investment works.

> The best way to spur economic growth is to give money to people who will spend it quickly

Very possibly, but we're discussing who will invest it, not spend it, and as you note, the rich invest more of their income.
To unpack a smidge, I think the first N steps all involve developing the perception and language to spot, tag, and catalog instances of this problem.

There's a fundamental shortfall in the quality of our thinking relative to the task (and the ultimate answer may just be that we're too time-bound to think this way). It's in the study designs, papers, abstracts, and unavoidable in the popular press.
I'm going to counterpoint. I didn't dislike Chiang's stories, but none of them really blew me away either.

Generally the feeling I always get from his stories is the writing is very good, but the stories have always been executed by others, better.

I read his stories and didn't mind them. But I don't see myself going back and rereading them like I would for Philip K. Dick, Harlan Ellison, etc.

I happily passed the collection on to someone else and don't feel any need to replace it.

Trickle down is associated with supply side economics; giving money for people to spend means increasing aggregate demand, which is the opposite.
US corporate debt markets are fairly mature, so the investment and cash influx events are decoupled. It’s not like modern large companies get paid on Mondays and allocate capital by Tuesday.

Companies can always sell more bonds or shares when they have a major investment coming, the stock / bond buybacks buy time, improve credit standing and create a cushion for that future investment event.

The stuff about doctors in the UK is quite amusing.

I actually look after a relative who has similar but not identical issue. Like OP, the diagnosis is madness and advice to see a clinical psychologist (ironically, this person was a psychologist themselves). Like OP, the doctor is actually actively intervening to prevent a second opinion from a neurologist (which is slightly redundant as the conclusion will most likely be the same...although sometimes you get lucky).

In what is probably not a massive coincidence, my relative probably saw the same people as OP (I live in the Edinburgh area). This unit got handed a massive stack of cash recently...BMWs all round for the boys.

Recently, as my relative's condition has deteriorated, I think about this a lot (they are basically a parent to me).

Doctors in the UK are, by and large, arrogant. If you want to know if someone is a doctor in the UK, talk to them...they will tell you within the first ten seconds...multiple times. Most outside primary care seem to actively dislike patients. I know multiple people who became doctors...none did anything for anyone but themselves (amazing given that almost everyone at my school was strongly encouraged to do charity work). I went to a university with a huge, well-regarded medical school...nothing that I experienced at university altered this view. There is something fundamentally, one could even say psychologically, wrong with the kind of person who becomes a doctor in the UK.

But there is also something utterly wrong with the incentives: the NHS has no capacity for care outside a narrow boundary. They have "policy" in areas where this makes no sense. In this area, there is a clear medical consensus that these issues aren't psychological...outside the UK. Inside, there is "policy"...if you have any of these problems (fibro/CFS/ME) you are mad. Say what you will about the US healthcare system but in these cases, i.e. infrequent, then you actually get a decent result, doctors are paying attention to research, and they are actually willing to consider the possibility that you aren't "putting it on".

The only exception is MS...unf, as it is often clear where the boundary lies between MS and some of the other things in this group, this is a largely redundant distinction to everyone but the doctors.
Yeah, terrifying for the CCP, but not for the people. "Disarm the populace" is authoritarianism 101. The IRA, Checnya, Afghanistan - armed and motivated populations are dangerous. Not sure how that's naivete; that's why it was written into the Constitution.

It isn't "a hint of racial bias" - gun control is directly racist, always has been. "Well it isn't now" doesn't hold much water.
By "western" you mean "US" and by "democracy" you mean "the system that elects presidents with a minority vote"?
This is not correct. Companies conducting buybacks do so at a low rate over a long period of time exactly to avoid having the impact that you're describing. Companies buy their shares back at the market price, and the normal transaction volume of a large companies shares dwarf the size of buybacks it may be conducting.
Could all this stock buyback cause an acceleration into the company merger trend (or the opposite)?

I would try to think of it less as a matter of "incidental features... that can silently disable parallelism", than one of "operations that are incompatible with parallel execution".

Writing anything [0], locking rows (e.g., "SELECT ... FOR UPDATE"), being run in the context of a cursor or loop, invoking "PARALLEL UNSAFE" functions, and a subquery in a query that is already parallelized are all cases where it is not meaningful for the planner to try to parallelize, so it punts.

Remember, also, that this is a young implementation. The PostgreSQL community's first priority is taking great care not to eat your data. They'll find more ways to safely parallelize things.

[0] In 11+, you can get a parallel plan on, e.g., "CREATE TABLE ... AS" and "SELECT INTO", if the query is otherwise parallelizable.

It means that the black hole is close to extremal. This means that the space near them is deformed in even more interesting ways than around a boring old non-spinning spherically-symmetrical hole.

I think it's often assumed that most black holes in the universe would have relatively low spin, compared to their mass. The research here is saying that, perhaps, the way that stars collapse would produce near-extremal holes in most cases, so they would be common in the universe.

I recommend reading up on black hole geometry ad Kerr(-Newman) holes; it's likely that any description that fits in a HN comment will leave you knowing less than when you started.
