“Tech” is now a requirement of so many different businesses that the concept of a “tech” company needs to change. There is now a spectrum of “techness” where your companies like Spanx are on the left (still needing marketing automation, logistics, and a bunch of other tech), AMD is on the right, and Facebook etc are somewhere in the middle as a blend of tech and marketing. It hardly matters where you draw an imaginary vertical line and call everything to the right “tech” as the tech is now an input to the business the way that electricity is.

I've always found this story fascinating, because it's such a clear example of the role of operator error in safety. Both Daghlian and Slotin were experts in the work they were doing, and both were well aware of the danger of getting it wrong. Still, they made a mistake. As people do.

On one hand, the mistake was the effect of time and schedule pressure. Some of that was real, but some also illusory (as shown by the fact that Los Alamos could stop doing those experiments entirely as still deliver). They chose the approach they did because it was the easiest. But not only that - at least in Slotin's case he chose the approach he did because he didn't believe that he would make a mistake. He'd done this a bunch of times. The danger had become routine, an idea captured in Diane Vaughan's books as "normalization of deviance", and in economic and sports research as "the familiarity heuristic ("I know this, so I'm safe").

On the other hand, the experiment itself set them up to fail. Minor tweaks with near-zero cost impact, like bringing the tamper up from the bottom rather than down from the top, would likely have saved both men. My understanding is (and it's hard to get clear evidence of this) that both men designed their own experiment. Both were in a position to do it in a safer way with no additional cost. With hindsight, both likely would have. In Slotin's case it seems like the commitment heuristic ("I want to be consistent with my past actions") played a role in him doing something he knew to be dangerous "one last time". In Daghlin's case, there seems to have been some role of the scarcity heuristic ("if I don't get this done tonight after the party, I might not get another chance").

This all goes to show how fallible we are. Not only these guys, both extremely smart people. We take irrational risks all the time. The big take away here is that systems need to be safe even though people are going to make bad decisions for bad reasons. One extremely effective way to do that is to separate design from implementation, using our rational decision making processes to make the hard decisions ahead of the moment. Then write the decisions down. Then follow them in the moment.

Maturity transformation, to give it its proper name, isn’t inherently a bad business; it’s how your bank transforms your weekly or monthly pay packet into a 25-year mortgage. But - and here is the crucial point - it is not tech.
I suppose it would lead to inflation and as long as the inflation is controlled, that's doable.

Effectively, the government is being funded by all dollar holders at that point. It's a wealth tax of sorts imposed on those who hold their wealth in dollars.

The idea would be that the government is being funded by the fact that $100 today, is worth only about $90 last year, and that loss in value is what's funding the government.
I think this is apples and oranges. Sure, if those kinds of things are that important to you, then POWER9 is your only option. But if performance is important, POWER9 is a longshot from being the best. Most companies likely don't care about the things you're suggesting.
In that case, I like the current system.

You don't need to trace individual ballots. You just need to count the number of ballots received against the number of votes signed in the registration books. With that simple audit, your whole "we just found this box of ballots" scenario falls apart. That box of ballots would have to be traced back to a precinct, which traces back to a book full of signatures of individual voters, and to handling signoffs by multiple election judges.

Just because Florida is unwilling to do it doesn't mean it can't be done.
Transient in healthy nonsmokers. Since most vapers do it regularly it's a fair to assume that they are in a "permanently transient" state. A permanently acute state is basically a chronic state.
In the US elections are run by the states, and unfortunately a certain consistent set of them are well known for making it extremely difficult for certain groups of people to vote. Since voter ids would be given by the states, there is historical evidence to suggest those specific states can not be trusted to not use said ids as a way to discriminate against those they do not want to vote.
That is what I meant. I've worked with a lot of expensive engineers who created net negative value, drained the resources of everyone around them, and would have created a more productive team simply by departing and being replaced with no one.
He's saying in two years they'll have to disclose losses that they don't have to disclose today.

Um, OK.

He's saying they don't have the cash in the bank to make a payment that they have coming due next year.

Not really fraud, no. I think this is more of a "hope the stock falls in the future so we can get rich" kind of thing.

A man having casual sex is basically gambling that the condom works and that the woman will abort if it comes to that, something he has zero say in. I don't know how anyone can say sex is very risk-free.

As I get older, "don't stick your dick in crazy" makes more and more sense. Pretty much all the STIs in my demographic can be cured with a $20 pill. And almost all of my post-nut clarity revolves around fearing becoming a father prematurely.

I grew up hearing about the archetype of the heroic man getting laid constantly. In my 30s I now meet that man all the time: he's now saddled with a kid with a woman he rarely sees while trying to date for real.

I quit smoking in a similar way now 3 years ago. A cigaret is almost engineered to spike a nicotine shot. By only vaping my nicotine cravings decreased over time without effort. I recommend smokers to immediately start with an expensive vapor that works. Beating a nicotine addiction is not possible with a $20 solution that requires duck tape hacks after a week. I took away from Alan Carr's book it is not possible to just smoke one cigarette ever again.
No offense to the good discussions here, but this article is no more than a press release. It doesn't even directly address the question in the title!

Or is it? It seems to me simply outlawing both asking and disclosing would deter these problems well enough.
This helps a ton. Thanks. Is there any reason you can think of why you don't go back to old posts, maybe a UI/UX issue or too much content to read?
Also, can you maybe tell more about those subfields? Examples that would give a better sense of how those readings help with your work would help.

This isn't the 70s anymore; all paper companies nowadays use tree plantations instead of random old growth, which means paper is now only about as damaging as regular food products.
That's a pretty bombastic claim. Do you have any sources to back it up? Otherwise it's unadulterated conspiracy theory and FUD.
One of the frustrating things about ecig studies is that they always use the worst quality hardware and puff really hard on them. The "Epuffer" looks like one of those "cig-a-like" which are notoriously worse than the much more expensive hobbyist mech mods. The cig-a-likes usually don't get enough juice to the heating element so when you're puffing a lot (16 consecutive 3s pulls) you end up burning the wick.

It's not an uncommon business practice to have SPEs for ventures like this. In fact, nearly each of our investments were backed by SPEs that held the property. If you had some sort of evidence to WeWork was trying to defraud or break the lease in some substantial way, then I guess you'd have some legal recourse, but the whole purpose for the SPE is to limit legal exposure (which is exactly why we did it).

The thing is that the SPE is absolute requirement for WeWork. They will walk away if you try to challenge them on it. It's ultimately not an issue unless shit hits the fan. Smart underwriters will recognize that and price it accordingly. Unfortunately, there will be many that don't and execs that are trying to push value, so won't want a conservative view on those leases.

The biggest risk (outside of WeWork itself) is bullish investors buying properties at inflated values due to WeWork being on the rent roll, not doing their due diligence on the WeWork lease, and the bottom dropping out.
I'm not sure that people who host parties with trafficked minors care much about the reputation of their guests.
Coolest finding in the paper:

"Our analyses reveal a mutational signature, signature A, that occurred in the past but ceased to be active from about 1000 years ago. A recent study (37) detected evidence for an excess of C>T mutations at TCC contexts, the mutation type most prevalent in signature A, accumulating in the human germ line between 15,000 and 2000 years ago. If this human mutation pulse is due to signature A, it could indicate a shared environmental exposure that was once widespread but has now disappeared."

There will now be a small academic race to identify this mysterious carcinogen which both humans and this dog cancer were previously exposed to.
If you're distributing an executable (not a library), you can just AOT compile the generated wasm to machine code.

Similarly try running when you're a smoker vs a vaper.

I'd say vaping is a very good harm reduction path for smokers that hopefully leads to quitting altogether. It is definitely not harm free though. I just hope our society and laws don't go in a direction where people are pushed back into smoking.

Are you serious? That's a terrible idea. Every vote should counted equally as everyone should get to represent their own interests. This is the point of democracy. Taking rights away from those you view as "undesirables" is wrong.

I find old sci-fi very naive in many ways, and they obviously got some things factually wrong, since we discovered a lot in the last decades. There's so much good sci-fi, I don't have time to read even all the good modern stuff. I don't think I will ever attempt to even read anything before the 90's.
The depth of the hole they're in at IPO time has some bearing as to whether or not they'll climb out of it.

Why the US has lost to Russia in these top coding trials for almost a decade
Paper ballots in the US are anonymous. But the blockchain-solves-everything crowd sees blockchain-identifiable ballots as key to solving the problem of not having blockchain in the election, so they invented "But I need to see that my ballot exists!" as a justification.
Like any answer here, it's my opinion. If it were not extreme, then it would be not a very strong opinion or worth considering.
For as long as I can remember, I have been able to get a receipt from every fuel pump that tells me where I was, how much fuel I purchased, what kind of fuel, what pump I was on, how much I was charged, how much tax was added and the time of day. This has been the case throughout every part of the U.S. I have driven. The fuel companies can also verify everything that is on the receipt.

I am not suggesting we vote on fuel pumps. I am simply pointing out that this appears to be an artificially created problem and not a technical problem.
Manufacturers want to quit China for Vietnam, but find it impossible
It is a bad business generally, because it requires an unfailing entity to exist as a stopgap ("lender of last resort") who will take the hit to prop you up as the short term payment becomes due, for the inevitable times when the payments don't line up. WeWork doesn't (yet) have that.
Bingo. Although I don't know about rich people wanting to park their money away from banks. It's more like we have a massive capital glut, there's so much capital sloshing around we don't know what do with it.

So some wealthy people will buy bonds with negative yields, others will buy equity at inflated valuations like WeWork.

Strange times.

There is also the risk that injecting additional cash into companies that don't need it further disconnects them from the actual economy. Investors can now make money simply through the appreciation of stocks, housing and dividend payments funded by negative interest mortgages. Since companies no longer need to sell more products, services or participate in the economy the end result is that you are not only not stopping deflation, you are actually mildly increasing it.
Exactly this, and then there are people who exploit this in order to skew perceptions as described in "Proofiness: How you're being fooled by the numbers."[1]

It's stateless, but it can connect to stateful services just fine to power things like authentication/CRUD. If the stateful services are also serverless, you can get a completely scalable, stateful system that scales to zero.

We use it in conjunction with Google PubSub and Cloud Storage to evaluate ML models in production and are really happy with it.
> I see you've posted this approximate figure and its comparison to a car three times already, but the Kia figure is irrelevant.

It's very relevant as it gives a sense of scale of the issue and how little power is actually produced.

> The relevant comparision is the required power to push the USS Seawolf forward and what speed can you get with 84kW

Since you're apparently checking all my comments you've likely seen Gotland's 2x75kW AIP gives it a top speed of 5kn. These 85kW would be a smidge above half that on a submarine about 6 times the weight. The relationship is probably somewhat non-linear but I'd say the result would be around "geriatric pacing".

> Don't forget that it is a sub and silent running is likely way more valuable than fast running (nobody is saying they can't have two methods of propulsion)

You could get about the same effect by just shutting down propulsion entirely.

> Also, I don't know anything about this USS Seawolf - is it a nuclear sub? IIRC the problem with them is that the pumps cooling the atomic core can't be shut down, meaning there is always detectable sound.

That doesn't seem to have any relevance to my point that this tech doesn't seem able to actually provide propulsion for a sub'.

> Would a hose with this material on the inside be able to pump cooling water silently? Don't forget that the 'pump' in that case could be almost the entire length of the sub..

You do realise there's other shit in a sub than just reactor cooling systems right?
Well the theory is this. Company X wants to open an office in London. But they don't know much about real estate, and don't have time to search around for offices, sign a multi-year lease, or get furniture.

But they can sign a deal with WeWork that gets them a 6-person enclosed office that they can move into tomorrow.

So you pay a premium to avoid the hassle of doing it yourself. Much like anything in life.

And if the expansion into London doesn't work out, they cancel the month-to-month lease with WeWork and their financial exposure is finite. You can't just walk away from a 3-year office lease.
My understanding is that the ballot is more complicated in US elections. You are not voting for a single MP, you are voting for a Representative to the house, and one for the state house. You may be voting for a Senator and a state Governor. You will probably be voting for a host of local officials. In many (most?) states, there are ballot initiatives (sort of like referendums) on various issues. It gets complicated, fast.
I'm looking at the bond on Bloomberg right now and it's showing a yield of -0.14% with a price of EUR104.54. All things equal, if you buy this bond right now and hold it to maturity, that will be your yield. This is an after-tax yield.

I'm not sure what bank you are referring to in the first sentence. These are bonds issued by the country.
>Such trust is not necessary with paper ballots because they can always be hand-counted with supervision from both sides of a disputed election.

That assumes they aren't replaced at some point. For a nation-level election this is probably too difficult to significantly influence an election but at even a state level it's relatively doable with a little coercion and/or carefully placed individuals even in 2019 in the United States.

You also have the option to do voter impersonation in states without voting ID laws, again this would mostly only work at a more local level.

My employer switched to dell laptops, the first gen xps 15 and 13s, and now the precisions. As they get older we're seeing more and more battery swell. We're not sure the root cause, we speculate that it's a specific usage pattern related to the USB-C docks everyone has. Your battery is definitely not okay, you should get it replaced asap. We've looked at some alternatives like the hp spectre, or the lenovo ideapad and the asus zenbook, but none of the felt as nice as the precision line wrt build quality and bang-for-buck.
You keep posting the "find a box of ballots" theory.

It continues to be implausible and easily prevented without de-anonymizing the vote or resorting to strong voter ID.
Giving a comfirmation that person has voted for a specific candidate simplifies buying votes. Also, an employer might require employees to bring such a confirmation to prove that they support corporate values.

Even the libertarian wing of the Republican party doesn't really believe that anyone can live without an ID nowadays.

I'm not an American and while I rarely have to produce an ID, going without one entirely would be impossible. Also illegal here in Poland but this law is not enforced because it's hugely impractical long before you run into any legal issues.

What interest rate are you talking about? The interest rate for all the other maturities was already negative.

It doesn't need to be more economical than outdoor growing is right now to be viable.

We are already using of a large fraction of the arable land that is well suited to outdoor grain cultivation. It isn't clear that yields can be increased enough to feed people as we approach peak Earth population.

Indoor growing allows for an extension of agriculture to new land. Efficient Climate control, combined with high efficiency LEDs with optimized output spectra make the concept more viable.

It will be more expensive than current outdoor-based agriculture, but we'll be wealthier by the time this is needed.
