dershowitz is a public figure. he's constantly on national talking heads news type shows and has had very public spats (thereby making him more visible) with other talking heads.

Pinker, while not as famous as dershowitz, is also a public figure - he's published several pop sci books and also makes the rounds on various morning shows (to promote his books).

Minsky was purely an academic - as far as I know he never published pop books and only spoke at academic conferences. he's much much further down the list.

Furthermore this was admitted into the record as sworn testimony, lying being punishable by perjury laws. And note she gave the deposition before epstein committed suicide (so conceivably she could've proven to be lying). Who are you to cast doubt on criminal procedures simply because it suits some narrative of yours about perceived witch-hunts?

Some people genuinely are exposed to enough darkness irl that they don’t find enjoyment anymore in stories featuring nuances of misery, gore, and trauma. That’s totally fine.
> I met her after going on at least 100-150 dates with around 100 women over 18 months.

Wow that's insane. How much time and actual money did it cost you to go on all those dates?

When I was younger people didn't really date at all. You just naturally met people and if you started a relationship then that's what happened. There was no stilted 'dating' period with coffee, drinks, dinner. You were either a couple or not.
Have you noticed any wear and tear on the card itself? I've got a mostly white credit card (not metal) that is stained from my wallet and sliding it and such, just curious.
> Or people are smart and only pick names of people who haven't voted in quite some time.

If there was more than what vote theft operation in the same area, you'd still expect them to have collisions.

> 2 out of 3 people don't vote.

Wrong. A majority of the voting-eligible population votes in Presidential elections.

> If you have ever volunteered at a precinct you would know that it's literally just an excel sheet of names

A printed paper sheet, sure. Whether Excel is used in making it or not is immaterial (I assume it's generated straight from the voter database, which I hope isn't Excel.)

> and you're supposed to check someone off.

California state law requires the actual voter to sign in on the list; I would think that this is normal.

> It's very easy to check the wrong line

If it was a just a check off, maybe it would be easy.

> It's very easy to check the wrong line and your failsafe is easily explained away as a mistake instead of raising any sort of alarm.

Even if it was just a check box, you'd also need to have extremely lax procedures that all the poll workers and any observers were all in on for this basic integrity check to be routinely ignored.

Given the political factions interested in selling the idea of rampant voter fraud, you'd expect them to raise a ruckus if there were actual instances of this going on routinely.

You'd also have to either randomly mark off some non-voter (potentially creating a new instance of the problem) each time this happened or turn in a tally sheet where the count of marked voters didn't match the ballot count. The former would magnify the visibility of the casual disregard of integrity, the latter would definitely raise an alarm in counts.
...Vitess is sharded on top of MySQL. It literally only exists because MySQL doesn't scale.

I will agree, though, that for the vast majority of use cases, worrying about using a so-called "scalable" DB is a YAGNI-type concern, and the normal options should be more than sufficient.

Unfortunately the license for Waymo’s dataset is extremely restrictive and makes it hard to use practically without violating the license.

Via Reddit user jaxbotme:
“I have concerns about the license on this, which I [voiced on twitter](https://twitter.com/johnluu/status/1164227419919642624) and got a reply from one of Waymo's comms people.

Overall, it's free as in freeware but not free/open the way you might expect a research dataset to be. Not only are you prohibited from redistributing it (not too uncommon, but still limiting), but researchers cannot publish trained models or their weights, partially or in whole, and researchers cannot use the models on a physical car apparently. There are strong guards here to prevent competition, but they also get in the way of researchers and I feel like it's not really honest to call this an 'open dataset'. If anyone has counter examples where this is actually standard practice, let me know. But I was disappointed in this move for a number of reasons. For one, it would literally be illegal for me to provide this data to someone on a metered or slow connection who cannot download the dataset themselves.”

The only people who say that are those who want rural people's values to have an outsized influence in our elections. That is, conservatives.
I appreciate your perspective, but these issues should be dealt with by citizens. It is not a global issue how the USA handles its elections. Foreigners weighing-in scare the shit out of our old people. That's how we get epithets like (((globalists))).

Nope, that won't work for most Steam games. However, that's why there's GOG (gog.com), DRM free games. You can download the game installation kits using your browser and if you ever decide to stop accessing their site (or stop having access to the Internet) you can still play/install downloaded games.
No, you shouldn’t count for 50 Californians or whatever. The few hundred thousand people in Wyoming could care less that millions of people in big cities live under the threat of gun violence. That’s highly unfair and a big reason for the disfunction in the US today.
Oh boy, Matrix theories do run deep. My favorite is the Matrix in a Matrix theory (https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Matrix_in_a_Matrix_theory), I really wish they would pursue this in Matrix 4 (just announced). It's matrices all the way up!
The reverse also seems fine to me; fill it out in a machine, that shows you the paper ballot it's printing. (Presumably the latter is what gets recounted)
I wasn't the only author on those gems, the others are (mostly) still active. Not sure how orphaned gems are handled, though.
At least then they'd be representing the concerns of a larger number of people which is arguably what they should be doing as representatives.
> This was the sharpest downward revision in jobs totals since 2009, when the economy was just starting to emerge from the Great Recession.

It's not clear what number the article is talking about. Assuming nonfarm payroll, the BLS has this data set of revisions going back to 1979:

https://www.bls.gov/web/empsit/cesnaicsrev.htm

Assuming these figures report thousands, nothing really jumps out as being >500, expansion year or not - 2009 included.

Edit:

I suspect the article is reporting total jobs, not jobs change, but I'm not sure. The BLS link appears to be reporting change in nonfarm employment. Surprisingly poor labeling of data sets in both cases.
They all need technolgy and came about because of the powerful handheld mobile device. The first three are at least software companies.

Business and social changes aside, WeWork could have happened 20 years ago.
It’s a hypothetical, of course it’s contrived. Thankfully things break down much more chaotically than just an urban/rural split! That’s not to say there is not a general effect present.

Here’s another way to think of it. How many congressional votes does Los Angeles get before it’s people are adequately represented? Right now I believe it’s 18.

Even at that level their vote per capita is technically 3:1 less powerful than a person in WY. But whose interests are being served better in Congress?

Is the population of LA really disenfranchised in Congress due to WY getting a representative, or because LA didn’t get 30?

There’s a power effect which is very much non-linear due to the individual votes in Congress being decided on a win/loss by majority or super-majority and this effect already greatly benefits these so-called “disenfranchised” voters.
I was taking issue with the characterization that the US is dystopian based on voter id arguments. You don't need an id to live in the us, you don't need one to vote in many states, and the contexts in which you would need one make sense.

If you contrast that to a country that has government mandated ids just because, then that's clearly the more dystopic example.
I don't have any science to back up this, just an opinion. Epuffer is like a conversion product. Once you try it, you likely invest in better equipment. This is what happened to me... Started with a cheap gas station stick, then quickly upgraded to a decent set up. Was able to get my dad to stop smoking by buying him a cheap puffer to test it out. Now he has a full set up.
There's a difference in not having a profit due to (a) reinvestment; (b) poor unit economics.

(a) is much less worrying for an investor, e.g. Amazon
(b) suggests a bad business model, e.g. Uber/Lyft, Tesla
I think the whole “visiting” thing is overblown. We have TV and the Internet. This isn’t the 19th century when the only way the average American might EVER see or hear a President would be a short speech off the back of a train car.
First time I got an accurate map of India was when I stepped out of it. Whole of Kashmir is shown as Indian territory in all books and newspapers, even the area that is under administration of China and Pakistan. It was quite something. Other aspects opened up too, but the map thing was quite outrageous example. With international media availability, graphics have become better now thankfully.
I was going to say, according to the author's own words, it would be very reasonable to describe him as having been brainwashed.

The argument "but the majority of people in Nevada could vote for candidate X and candidate Y could still carry their state?" is true, yet a little misleading; the net effect of the Pact is to effectively weight all votes equally at a national level rather than a state level. If you believe that the condition we have now -- that the majority of people in the United States could vote for candidate X and candidate Y could still win the election -- then this is an improvement, even if it's effectively a hack of the electoral college system to make it behave as if it wasn't there at all.
Chinese students should be allowed to think however they want, but their behavior is unacceptable in a western democracy.

I am not sure that these international Chinese students are good for our universities. I feel like the universities sold out to them because they pay full price tuition.

This is latest example of them not understanding even basic behavior in western country.
> Nitpick all you want, a 16 year old cannot legally consent to prostitution

No one can legally consent to prostitution, except where prostitution is legal.

A 16-year-old can legally consent to sex in much of the USA, which makes the act prostitution, not “child rape”.

> Repeat after me: a 16 year old having sex with a 55 year old for money is child abuse.

Whether that's legally true depends on the state. Whether it's morally true depends on the 16-year-old (the reason for variation in age of consent laws is that there isn't a simple, clear, consistent chronological point where a bit flips from a person being incapable of mature consent to sex to capable of it), and a lot of other factors (including, potentially, the state: legality alone does not control morality but it's not completely irrelevant, either.)
>the release binary is now 5.9M

A typical smartphone ships with around 10,000 times this much storage capacity and enough RAM to hold it 100 times over.

This is bloat?

I mean, I get it, the binary used to be only 2MB, 1/3rd the size. But are numbers this low really worth worrying about? I think a GUI app in 6MB is hugely impressive.

I genuinely thought he was going to say it was 100MB or something higher.

Oh, I thought you were saying this was the mechanism for deciding how to change the rules.

At any rate, people may well feel bypassed and marginalized, but hopefully the ones outside of swing states will come around once they realize that their vote actually matters for once. And if they don’t, well, lots more people feel bypassed and marginalized now.

If it’s a bad idea, what do you propose to do about it? The Constitution allows states to cast their votes as they see fit.
Which databases are good for analytics from your point of view?

In my experience, being able to do advanced ad-hoc SQL queries is priceless for analytics. Timescale helps in scaling time series use-cases that used to scale badly in plain PostgreSQL.
Shed properties...and merge any remaining tenants into other locations.
Even when you take for granted--and we shouldn't, but just for funsies we will--that the whole point of the thing is to make executive decisions about national needs...why the heck should Nevada get a bigger say than Los Angeles County?

It has become evident that the federalist experiment has failed; because an integrated modern society cuts across state lines, while land can't vote and people matter more than land. Everything else is a side effect, no matter how tightly it's clung to by parties whose high-minded rhetoric, if we're being frank, is honored more in the breach than the observance as they look for low-status, low-power people to cudgel, using the guise of federalism to make it easier to do in their own little pond.
Whether or not something is "undefined behavior" has nothing to do with the hardware. The C specification says what is specified, what is "unspecified", what is "implementation defined", and what is "undefined".

If something is "undefined" according to C, you can't rely on what the hardware does, because the hardware might not even get a chance to do anything. The compiler may completely elide sections of your program -- and they do in practice (for example, bounds checks).

Actually, hardware always does something reasonable for add instructions (throw exception or overflow or saturate). It's additions in C that can have unreasonable results.
No he isn't and he won't.

But, it's a good social engineering mechanism to discuss these issues so the next gen and others who don't understand the US thanks to pop culture can learn why the EC is important.

Repeal the 17th Amendment while you're at it and then increase the house reps to 5000 and triple the senators.

Then we'll see how effective or profitable lobbying, campaign finance or gerrymandering is.
+this. As a thought experiment, assume you need three full-time guards to store 100M €. Two physical and one watching the video. (why two? Less likely your guard steals all the money).

Salaries of 30k €/year. 8760 hours/year, one FTE works 2080 hours/year, so that's 4.x times 3x redundant guards, or about 500k €/year with overhead.

That's half a percent negative return.

Presumably, the physical storage cost creates a lower bound on how negative the inflation rates can go, but I'm sure I left off a bunch of other things that would add to the bottom line costs of this proposal, such as insurance.
What a waste of words, it is pretty simple and we all know what is important in this market, you just need to be the best version of yourself you can be in order to get the best women you can get. Just work on your looks, your money, your status in the world and whatever other personality parameter you can actually improve, that's the only way to improve your dating chances and much more important than any statistical glitches you might find in the system. But it is much harder to do so people want to find shortcuts.

It's not about division of power between rural/urban or big states/small states. The Electoral College is about buffering purely democratic power. The President doesn't represent "the people." He/she represents the interests of the states. The Legislative Branch represents the will of the people (most directly through the House of Representatives). One of the biggest problems is vesting too much power and importance in the Executive, which was never intended. Throw the balance of power out of whack, and we get these conversations (the President has to represent "the people" and therefore should be elected by popular vote)

From your first link:

“It’s not clear yet what’s going on and it’s best to not jump to any conclusions,” said David Levy, a Georgetown University researcher.

In the UK, teenage smoking is at record lows - just 16% of secondary school children have ever smoked tobacco, down from 19% in 2016. We have not seen a significant rise in youth e-cigarette use. This may have something to do with the 2014 Tobacco Products Directive, which introduced substantial new regulation on both cigarettes and e-cigarettes including restrictions on advertising.

One of the biggest issues that I face with Rust is that its builds are enormous, and I often work on machines with limited disc space.

The actual binary sizes are fine - even with embedded devices that have <1MB of program space, there doesn't seem to be much bloat. But I need to remember to clean every project when I finish working on it, because otherwise the build folders will eat 100s-1000s of megabytes each on a 16-32GB partition.

I really appreciate Rust's inclusive approach to learning and teaching, but I can't justify using it for education on ultra-affordable machines for that reason. People often scatter one-off projects all over the place as they learn, and when they run out of space it takes a long time to clean everything up.

So I would also be very in favor of some sort of simple shared package cache.

Why? Because silicon valley is there? By your standard, Michigan was the most powerful state in the 50s thanks to Detroit.
I do agree with you with the measuring aspect. Part of building high-performance systems is being able to measure performance in an accurate and actionable way, and consequently optimise code paths that have significant performance impacts.

However, I do believe that a competent engineer would have the judgement to be able to see, roughly, where performance hits would likely arise and optimise accordingly. Command-line arguments would likely not fall under this mandate, but serialisation to stdout is likely a good candidate for well-designed and well-optimised code. A nice side-effect is that this also avoids significant refactors down the line when you need to, in this case, change your serialisation from dynamic dispatch to static dispatch.
Also, you can sell or buy bonds at any time - you're not locked in for 30 years. I think this is a crucial point many don't understand
Whether culture or language, if it is not addressed then expect similar results :(
> Also be aware that highly inlined code does nicely in microbenchmarks but might have significantly negative performance implications in a larger system when it blows out the I-cache.

I see this assertion a lot, but I have never actually seen a system in which inlining that would otherwise be a win in terms of performance becomes a loss in a large system. LLVM developers seem to agree, because LLVM is quite aggressive in inlining (the joke is that LLVM's inlining heuristic is "yes").

I'd be curious to see any examples of I$ effects from the effects of inlining specifically in large systems mattering in practice.

That would be a valid concern if food weren't so ridiculously easy to grow. The entire agricultural segment of the US economy is less than 1% of GDP.
The easier explanation is what it is... deflation.
That seems to me the most obvious problem use case here. How can Valve possibly think that isn't important?
The majority population has shifted to larger urban centers, whose votes don't matter one bit anymore.
Swing states shift, though. California was basically solid red from the 1950s through the 1980s. Until 2016, few people would have called Wisconsin or Michigan "swing states" judging from their voting in the past few elections. People move, demographics change.

I'm not sure why Uber is a tech company because you can order a taxi using your phone, but WeWork is not ... because you can reserve a room or space using your phone?

Not all members pay for an office. Some of us are nomads and stay at whichever WeWork is convenient. We make reservations for space using our phone.
I don't understand an apology in which the person apologizing admits to no wrongdoing. If you did nothing wrong, I would expect something along the lines of "What has taken place is extremely unfortunate, but I did not and could not have known that what I did would entangle MIT with a criminal."
That's right. Whats at stake is in which markets and demographics the ad spend goes.
The answer is probably complicated. Game theoretically, they’ll pay attention[0] to the places where their campaigning has the biggest marginal impact, but that doesn’t immediately tell us much.

That will make big urban areas appealing. However, if you think there are diminishing returns, it should cause them to spread that attention more, avoiding the last month where they repeatedly visit the same state over and over again.

[0] This might or might mean visiting those states.
You could be right, but I don't see how it can be known with any confidence until a few approaches are given extended good faith trials. There are anecdotal examples supporting both scenarios and the problem simply seems too unknowable and important not to test drive whatever the top 2 or 3 approaches end up being.

>I also don't think it's a problem that different groups have different interests, etc.

I don't see how you can disagree that cooperation of community to try something different is not a major hurdle.

How many years has it been since important issues in the academic process were widely known? How much success in adoption has there been to date, regarding any fundamental changes?

It seems on its face to be crucial.
That's the literal point of the Senate, though, to be fair.
