Sean Carroll, the author, is a huge proponent and believer [1][1.1] in Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) interpretation of QM. MWI's basic idea is that the wavefunction is real and that there is no wavefunction collapse. Each time there's a decoherence, there's a universe split. Some physicists think this is pseudoscience or 'crackpottery' at best [2] since it can never be proven. A lot of physicists also don't see any value in MW's interpretation since it offers no predictive value (if you assume it to be true, there's nothing that this belief 'buys' you).

So when Carroll talks about 'physicists not understanding QM', he's just unhappy that most physicists don't share his view about QM and he's been known for trying to shame physicists for not sharing his view too. [3][3.1]

The interesting this to me was that whoever this person was knew WoW twitch personalities at least decently. Before his Twitter went down, he was using some of th phrases that people say to try and make fun of Asmongold. He was also posting screenshots from Asmon and Sodapoppin about the attack.

They were talking like twitch chat at times.
This is such a great, well written piece!
Seems like nuclear heat and electricity can substitute for hydrocarbons. Abundant heat and power within the atom to compensate for lower efficiency.
She was involved in the NYMAG story? They don't quote or credit her.
> Surely it will just perform like a bus under braking and roll around?

No. The center of gravity is extremely low because of all the batteries under the floor. It’s supposedly extremely stable under cornering.

> They also don't have manual gearboxes

If I recall correctly, they don’t have gearboxes in the traditional sense at all. They have single speed transmissions. But I might be wrong on this.
Yes, CodeCommit support is laughable
Or put a little dollar sign beside non-free results, like they do (or did) for ads.
Why are you going out on such limbs and repeatedly defending Epstein and his child sexual abuse in this thread?

I'm struggling to understand your motivations. This should be a clear and obvious case of someone who was really fucked up, did fucked up things, and deserves nobody in polite society defending him.

And yet here we are having this discussion, somehow.
This is well-known now. Epstein cultivated powerful connections deliberately to insulate himself from scrutiny. It seems likely that he deliberately put politicians and famous people into compromising positions to ensure their cooperation (throwing lavish parties at his mansion, supplying the drugs and the underage girls).

MIT banned Epstein from donating after his Sex Offender conviction. Ito did an end-run around that ban (in addition to taking Epstein’s money personally which is a separate level of unethical).

Xeni spilled the beans on this (Epstein bypassing the ban, Ito’s involvement) to the NYT, which then buried the story likely due to Epstein’s political connections. Many papers and media outlets killed Epstein stories.
While I'm sure he "enjoys" some of it, current-Bill seems to be putting most of his billions towards the greater-good, in lieu of profit. RMS sacrificed potential billions to server the greater-good.
I think that most people mean "my (or whoever's) identity drives my politics. For example, the idea that I must vote Democrat because I'm black.

If you're black and want to vote Democrat, that's not identity politics. I don't even think that it's identity politics if you vote Democrat because you think everyone on the Republican side is a racist who hates you. It becomes identity politics when you vote Democrat because of course you're going to vote Democrat, because you're black. When it's unthinkable for a black to do anything else, then it's identity politics.

That, I think, is most peoples' definition. I have a different one. To me, identity politics is when politics becomes your identity. It's essentially tribalism. Instead of "I think this is the better policy" or "I like this better", you decide that your identity is Democrat/Republican/liberal/conserative. That's who you are.

Most electric vehicles- including all Teslas- have no need for a gearbox, as "first gear" is capable of 100mph+. Removing the gearbox reduces complexity and weight.

Some electrics like the Empulse TT have included gearboxes to make operators transitioning from gas vehicles more comfortable. However, this did not catch on.
Doesn't matter. This is an old Model S which lost solely due to its poor thermals. The Model 3, particularly with Track Mode enabled, sees very little performance degradation due to thermals. Keep in mind Teslas' low center of gravity due to the skateboard battery design.

There is no need for a gearbox in a car with instant torque.
I cannot agree more. There's terabytes and terabyes of GoPro and grainy Russian dashcam footage out there of people doing things that they could not do in any other vehicle on any other track/road. Practice really does help.
Because strict would break how people expect the internet to work.

Any links from a third party website to a site where the session cookie is set with SameSite strict, clicking those links will not include the session cookie for that site.

For example, if GitHub implemented SameSite strict for its session cookie and you clicked a link on a site that took you to GitHub, it would not send the cookie for GitHub and it will look like you're not logged in on GitHub, even though if you opened a new tab and went to GitHub you would be logged in.

Exactly. They could fake a manual gearbox but it would always just be a fakery. There is no shiftable gearbox at all, so it’s not an automatic vs manual transmission. It’s just an electric motor.
I'm assuming so based on the tweet where she shares it and effectively says the NYT had the same info and didn't print it.
"Even before modifications, the LEAF has some distinct handling advantages. First, the car is much lighter. ... Or, in short, the LEAF’s battery weighs less per kWh than the Tesla’s, and it has fewer kWh."

As Lotus's Colin Chapman wisely observed, "Simplify, then add lightness." But I think we're still 5-7 years from the 400Wh/kg batteries needed to power a lightweight (1000-1200 kg -- think of a Miata) electric car.

A sad case in point is the new Porsche Taycan 4 passenger sedan, with a curb (empty) weight of 5,100 lbs/2295 kg, and gross (max) weight of over 6,300 lbs/2880 kg. The kinetic energy of one of these lead sled's at 150mph terrifies me.
I don't believe that. If you slam on the brakes hard every time you need to slow down a bit you're going to go into a tail spin and die especially at f1 speeds.
In one word, leadership. A senior anything is someone with enough experience to be able to lead a development effort.

They should have a proper understanding of what it takes to build a reliable and robust system end to end.

"How quickly" is the wrong question. It's not about speed of delivery, but quality. A senior engineer would know that and if someone asks them to build something quick, they should be honest about the loss in quality and technical debt that will be incurred due to speed of delivery.
>There is no need for a gearbox in a car with instant torque.

Depending on the system's ability/need to keep the motor cool that may or may not be true.
There are degrees to this. The burning their passport thing is certainly in the black side, but there are plenty or dark shades of gray before you get there.

Correct, this is why we still test senior developers with algo interviews. The reality is no one knows what the hell a senior developer is.
Minus the detail of the years following a major war. The devastation isn't comparable to the Rust Belt economic story.
Staple crops like wheat, soy, and rice have been honed to near perfection and largely don’t need or benefit from vertical farming. However, you’re conflating calories with nutrition but they’re not the same.

Once basic caloric needs are met, a variety of vegetables become crucial in a healthy diet. American diets are terrible for this. It’s often cheaper or easier to buy highly processed foods based on corn, wheat, and soy than vegetables in the US [1].

What’s needed in the US and many modern countries is precisely what vertical farms are good at growing, fresh leafy greens, peppers, herbs, green beans, etc. Shipping fresh vegetables degrades the available nutrients in these items (up to 30% in three days [2). Even then that crunchy water like lettuce plays a crucial role in keeping gut biotica healthy and balanced.

Sure vertical farms won’t replace staple crops anytime soon or ever, but there’s an enormous need (in the US at least) for more fresh vegetables. Crunchy water also tastes pretty good if you know how to cook it.

Living in a college dorm when I was young was definitely not one of the happiest periods of my life, and having roommates at 35 wasn't either. But at least when I had roommates, it was enabling me to live in a major metropolitan area (not SF) for ~$1K/month.
Well if the population drops by 85% in short order humans will almost certainly be emitting a lot less carbon.
This is one of many creative ways of getting rid of direct fossil fuel use in industry and in the economy overall. We need ways to make steel, cement, and fertilizer with alternative processes that do not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, and techniques like these are extremely useful. They will make a transition away from fossil fuels possible. But all these processes require heat and electricity. The root energy source used to do all these things needs to decarbonized. That's the really big challenge.
I “own” my home (ie pay a mortgage), but being worried about being kicked out of my place wouldn’t be a deciding factor. You can always move and rent somewhere else easily in most of the country.

We bought a house for a lot of reasons, but one was an inflation hedge. We don’t have to worry about our home prices increasing except for property taxes and insurance.
Sure, "convince". Lots of predators convince kids into the abuse through pretty normal persuasive techniques, and the same to keep them quiete. It's not all knife to the throat kind of stuff. In fact, the vast majority of abuse is that soft sell long term grooming "convince" approach.
1000 Kg at 150 MPH would terrify me! A little puff of wind and the thing could go airborne and 50 yards down the road land and create a smoking hole! 150+ MPH is GREAT to have, at 5000 to 35,000 feet in the air in a really solid airplane!
> It would take maybe a hundred years or so for space colonies to declare their independence

Seems like a naive assumption. We don't see Virgin Islands and other US territories trying to sever their ties to the mainland. In fact we see the opposite with Puerto Rico.
I’m not quite at that stage yet. But, you can find similar cities, and probably similar communities, all across the northeast.
Wait this study is from 1993?

Anyways it seems obvious that the relationship between hours in and performance starts to get skewed at top percentages of human performance. Doing well in the NBA requires a lucky draw of genetic height / strength as well as practice. But a lot of deliberate practice will probably make you better than your neighbors at pickup games.
AWS runs on servers, electricity, and drives like the rest of the internet.

If your application and data are single-AZ it is not fault tolerant. If that datacenter goes down or the EBS volume fails, at the very least your application will have downtime.

EBS is replicated within the AZ but that is not guaranteeing you fault tolerance. You must take snapshots and store them across AZs, like any other mission critical S3 object.
Having to add state to fundamentally stateless operations is not a good thing.
step one is don't feel bad. it really is a numbers game. some of the companies you're applying to don't actually want to hire anyone for the position right now. some of them are desperate to get anyone with a pulse yesterday. it's all about timing, but you don't usually have a way of knowing when the time is right.

just keep rolling the dice; you'll get a bite eventually. I got an internship that lead to my first full-time job when I had a 2.4 GPA. I just happened to have experience with relevant tech that was rare in the area and they gave me a shot.
What do you think the motivations are behind someone defending a dead pedophile?
Gladwell had a chapter in his book Outliers called "Rice Paddies and Math Tests" where he claims that "Asians are good at math" because rice is hard to grow. The man is obviously an intellectual sham.

The reality is that a semi-truck loaded up with produce is a bigger risk from the “turns my car into shrapnel in an crash” scenario.

I read Neuromancer in the early 90’s and thought it was very cliched at the time. Granted that’s ~10 years after publication, but it barrows heavily from earlier works.

I suspect people like it for the same reason they liked their first Anime, it’s an unusual style that seems very original unless you have been reading other stuff written in the same vein by say Philip K. Dick.
And there is a lot to be said about purpose built devices. I enjoy the experience of my Apple TV much more than the Mac Mini I had connected to my TV in 2006.

I’m debating about getting either a NAS that is powerful enough to transcode to run Plex or an Nvidia Shield as a dedicated Plex server.
Backup Software Reviews and Best Practice
You seem to think that if people aren't under lock and key, they aren't being coerced. Which rather misses the wider spectrum of coercion. It could, for example, simply be a guilt trip about how poor their family is, how the extra money he was giving them would help. They wouldn't want to make their family starve, would they? Or not. There's no end to the possibilities.
"Mobilizing all humanity" is completely hyperbolic. No one has suggested that.

Even if "total war" against climate change were on the cards, it would be a welcome break from capitalism being seen as the one driver for human innovation. It's very clear that capitalism is ill equipped to deal with this sort of threat.

Don't forget that the existential threat of the world wars did a lot to drive scientific innovation.
To me Tipping Point is a kindergarten-level version of Chaos Theory. It was so bad I could not finish it.

He is a fair story teller but is closer to opinion than non-fiction.

He says if his books are too simplistic for you, don't read them. I am also likely to tell friends and family to not read them.
Cloud9 is amazing but it is not anything like a shell for use with the AWS API. It’s, like you said, a robust IDE. Not a terminal emulator.
> The worst, buggiest, least maintainable code I've ever dealt with was a 500ish line (heavily tested!) untyped Python file at my last job. Caused more trouble than all the Java and C++ and Go combined.

Another problem with Python is that the culture of testing is definitely not as strong as in Ruby so you won't even get that to compensate the untyped nature of the language.
Several museums of egyptology and ancient cultures have significant examples of toys from times in the deep past, and the continuity with modern day toys is remarkably clear. There have always been toys which allow children to play at real life, and reflect the everyday nature of real life.

A play kitchen has always been a part of human culture, since kitchens exist.

Old forms of huggable relatable toys also exist. Games of chance, ball-games, balancing games, threading games, toy birds, toy animals, toy weapons...
If you’re braking gently the F1 car behind you will absolutely pass you immediately and then brake hard to make the corner.

If this doesn't educate people on how important sales and communication is, then nothing will help you see the light. ;)

Honestly, those who are excellent communicators will be able to persuade people in masses to follow what they preach. I find this extremely interesting.

Now is the 10k hour rule flawed or not? I have no idea. I tend to focus on what works for me vs. the masses. We're all different.
It's about the feel. I like shifting and doing heel-toe
Those were not DCP LLC's promises.

The promises DCP LLC makes are very carefully laid out in the HDCP License Agreement and related documents. They primarily target content producers, not consumers, and seek to assure them of a relatively robust control system that can be shown to prevent users from doing things the producers do not want.

It's very clear - control over the content or bust. Enforcement is reasonable strict. Even to make HDCP components, to integrate components etc etc - all is carefully outlined. If you read these docs it will be CRYSTAL clear that the promise is not around preserving any user rights.
As said elsewhere, if I were buying a car to drive I'd want a manual gearbox because of the sensation of driving it. I know why Tesla's don't have gearboxes
Fair enough, I guess, and if you'd just said that you'd have been better off. What you said instead showed a complete lack of understanding for how sexual abuse is inflicted on people. By implication that anyone not held directly against their will couldn't be a victim. That power dynamics play a huge part, along with shame, guilt, and sometimes necessity.
> It has a steep learning curve.

I mean, I guess if you are new to AWS entirely. I find the documentation for most things accessible and easy. For the things I want more information on or I'm not clear, support is fairly quick to help and point to the documentation. Most of the time it's the documentation I skipped because I assumed I knew it.
If you've already tried the best current treatments, you need to find out who the top researchers in the field are and what experimental treatments they are working on. Read the literature. Find out what clinical trials are in progress and get yourself enrolled in one if possible. e.g. (based on your username): https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?cond=Blindness

Also consider directly funding researchers, research projects, and trials. Research is money constrained — you can fund work that otherwise would not get done.

Questions Entrepreneurs Must Ask Before Seeking Funding
As a practical matter that’s true if the body generates lift. F1, Indycar, and Prototype sports cars go faster and weigh between 700 and 900kg depending on the series and spec. Since they’re designed to generate downforce when going forward they work out fine, gust of winds and all. Turning them around backwards at full speed is problematic so they have devices to disrupt the flow of air and loose the lift they’d generate at that angle. If those devices fail... that’s when things get a bit terrifying for the occupant.
Isn't the analogy to a similar situation with quantum mechanics, where people seem concerned with different mathematically equivalent interpretations?

You say "nobody cares", but people do care, and if they care in one context, why shouldn't they care in another?
It's still very heavy, which is what I meant by bus.

A Porsche 917K from the 70s can still outbrake some modern sports cars because of how light it is.

You appear to be extremely mad that anyone questions the power of political pressure and an angry mob.

Look, you can feel however you like about whether the high-profile takedowns are right or wrong, whether the CEO's promises after the Daily Stormer are hypocritical — but let's be clear-eyed about placing a site in a position where one outside person can do it real harm. The question you should look at is whether the risk is actually acceptable for your organization.
No, he didn’t give the source. Confucius have books attributed to him, a source would include the book and a precise location. It’s seems indeed misattributed.

For example: « The people may be made to follow a path of action, but they may not be made to understand it. » Analects, VIII, 9. [1]

Also Confucius didn’t speak nor write English, which didn’t exist at the the time, so it’s better to give the translator name when there is various interpretations. (James Legge in this case).

“Millions of people use AWS” you say in a thread where people are complaining about AWS’s poor usability linked to a comment thread on another site where even more people are complaining about AWS’s usability.

The biggest and best rebuttal against your comment is the mere existence of every other comment in both of these threads.

Also, immigrants don’t come to the US for “freedom”. _Maybe_ in the past, but definitely not today. We move here because it’s where the opportunities are, or (in the case of many refugees) to escape violence.

Why has this article been flagged? I can't see any arguments that indicate that it's inaccurate. Most anti-climate change comments have been down voted too.

GoodReads and Craigslist are similar. They serve their original functions sufficiently and that's all. Personally, I like GoodReads a lot, it's the only social site I use in fact.
