There are some interesting experiences in this article and it starts strong. But as it turns into a critique of society it is weird how she criticizes the unmeritocratic realities of her field while at the same time lauding diversity hires for the sake of "progressivism"? I think her point about (especially in pre-modern-internet days) how it was difficult to judge how you should be efficiently spending your time when you grow up as a big fish in a small pond is a good one, something myself and many kids I graduated high school with can understand, though there's no real solution besides earlier and more realistic educations. I am in her generation and I think we will be raising our kids a little less idealistically and a little more practically based on the hard lessons we've learned about where hard work ends and your privileges-from-birth begin. The society where we pretend that everyone should be able to equally persue the same opportunities is a problem that ignores the practical reality this woman and many in our generation learned the hard way. Or not, I don't think her simultaneous praise for diversimania and progressivism with a critique of capitalism, while I think the critique is valid, is going to do anything helpful. As the author mentions, the divisity hires are decorative flourish demanded by the donor class and are still going to be filled by privileged people, just privileged people of the correct hue.
Awesome, lets help him out. Nobody let him have any food.
Some People are starting to grow sick of the all digital access off the post-iTunes MP3 era, now the streaming era. The physical connection to the album is lost - and if you’re a music nerd, and want to have a physical connection to the music, Vinyl is a superior format. Often the artwork is much larger, intricate, and gatefolds are beautiful, not to mention limited color releases and picture discs. It’s something you can frame or display on a shelf, and feels more vintage than a CD. Rarely would I say people listen to them as much as collect and display them.
Digital recordings still vastly outsell vinyl; it’s just that CDs are declining in favor of MP3s and streaming, whilst demand for vinyl among enthusiasts/collectors holds up.
I don't think so. One of the big drivers of vinyl is the collectible aspect of it.

We can’t “just reterraform Earth” because there are too many people, governments, processes and institutions working against that goal. If the goal is to terraform Mars then we need to do it quickly before there is organized resistance from scientists who think of Mars as a Petri dish, not a potential home

Optane is at $5k for a 1.5 TB drive while the OP quotes $18k for 1.5 TB of RAM. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/memory-stor...

Being able to reach 12 TB+ with something like Optane is much more likely than with RDIMMs though, and memory latencies would probably get insane enough that Optane would start looking viable anyway.

Except that isn’t doing that either.

The this here refers to “whereby innovations are silently enacted and kept from the rest of the industry” which is not sustainability. Further, it calls this practice “secret sustainability” and the article itself encloses it in quotes indicating it’s using this term out of convenience, and that it’s not actually a precise term.

The use of quotes around secret sustainability is the article explicitly pointing out that it does not consider this an accurate term, and is using it extremely loosely.

No matter how many regulations lawmakers come up with, powerful interests will always find some ways to get their money into politics.

On the other hand, washing out lobbyist money with people's Democracy Dollars could be a game changer. And since the politicians benefit from this arrangement too, it has a decent chance of getting their support. I imagine it'd be hard for the lobbyists to lobby against this one.
To keep it short it just means pimping, which is illegal
I don't get what the author is complaining about. That there are too many aspiring musicians? That there is not enough public demand?

I see the meritocracy working perfectly here, on average the richest students had the best training and equipment, and as such developed into the best musicians (and without the injuries mentioned), therefore they have the most merit to make a career of it.

No one is born knowing how to play a viola, what careers are there where your training is not reflected in your merit?
It seems like the only solution will be for the FAA to flex it’s regulatory muscle on this, and become the sole authority on where you can fly a drone. Much like the FCC did with small satellite dish prohibitions. https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/installing-consumer-own...

Nope. The only way for the tank to overflow is for the flotation device — the ballcock — to be removed from the tank, causing the valve to never close.

One thing that absolutely has to end is that the idea that a game has now become free is a "slap in the face" to customers. Customers paid for the game then-and-there, where they bought it and when they bought it. Discounts are not "insults" to those customers and by extension neither is making the game free and (possibly?) open-source.

As for rebuilding the multiplayer: it sounds like they had about 30 concurrent players and minimal ongoing sales. That's a dead game and at that point, "cut bait" is not unreasonable; they're not exactly a giant developer with money to splash around. "Give players free keys to the new game and move on" is about as fair a path forward as they can make, and is doing pretty right by those players.

I didn't submit this story here to get the cheap-games-earn-a-lifetime-commitment crowd riled up. (And make no mistake: $25 is a cheap game. So's $60, for that matter.) I posted it because it's a great object lesson to back up your stuff. If I can be honest, I'm mildly regretting doing so after reading your post.
Carroll says essentially this exact same thing in most of his podcast episodes and his dozens of talks and interviews. I don't think there's any sensationalism here. He is indeed saying that the public's impression of QM as inscrutable and mysterious is basically right, in this current scientific climate, and that, even worse, many physicists want to keep it that way.
There are some international implications in the Epstein case. Prince Andrew is not American either, for example. And apparently the British media had some inkling, or he likely wouldn't have had the nickname 'Randy Andy' when he was younger.

Far worse, actually. Mob justice is the force behind almost every human on human mass slaughter in history.

It's a far cry short of say diarrhea or malnutrition in terms of actually horrible things that kill millions of people every year, but as human-caused catastrophes go mob justice is many orders of magnitude worse that "pedophilia being protected and normalized." Sure, I'll die on that hill.

> IMO the relevant thread model is more that they can convince / coerce / do it themselves the provider to change the javascript that does the client side decryption.

Yes, this is the MITM I referred to in another post. I'm not sure the fingerprint phrase [1] is adequate to mitigate that danger

> I wish there were something that used (as a second round of encryption) a key residing on a yubikey to decrypt the password of individual entries, without going through gpg. Going through gpg just seems to complicated and fragile to me, and has annoying restrictions like not really allowing multiple yubikeys.

I currently use 2 YubiKeys with OTP and 2 YubiKeys plus 2 Solos with FIDO U2F on top of an Authenticator App as backup. There's backup codes as well. E-mail or SMS I prefer not to use (they don't provide SMS AFAIK but do provide Duo). I plan on fine-tuning this once I receive my new smartphone with NFC and my Somu; then I will likely remove some of these keys, reset them, and sell them.

Those people probably bought it years ago. They could've lied and said they were closing down without anyone batting an eye.
I decided today to look into what I need to do to legally fly my drone in Canada. I've owned it over a year, but since new regulations came in I've been afraid to use it in case it was done incorrectly. What I've learned so far is that in order to legally fly my drone, I must:

1. Register the drone online for $5 (done, took 2 minutes).

2. Take an exam. They won't tell me what's going to be on the exam, but instead recommend I go to one of a long list of "drone schools" who have 'self declared' that they can teach what will be on the exam. The exam is $10, but who knows what these schools will charge or if they're even reputable.

3. Not be within 5 miles of most airports, or 1-3 miles from most helipads. (Didn't we convert to metric before I was born?). At least they've made a helpful tool with that https://nrc.canada.ca/en/drone-tool/. The tool also helpfully shows that oh right, most lakes are used for sea-planes to take off and land so avoid those too.

4. Never fly within 100 ft (30m) horizontally of any 'bystander', ie: they aren't with me flying the drone.

What this all boils down to is that there's no reason to own a drone anymore unless you own a very large property far from any populated areas. There is no place less than a 20-30 minute drive away from my home that I can even legally fly it. Even then, any park or place I might legally go to without trespassing will have too many people to be more than 30m from anyone else. Even the less-populated parks and recreation areas- how do I even tell if there's someone 29m away from me through a forest or behind something?

All the while: for what benefit? Who has been seriously injured in Canada by drone accidents?
> It necessarily includes a formal system. That much has been hammered into the ground already, and you'll discover it for yourself as soon as you attempt to formalize your description.

That’s a bald assertion, not an answer. And one can certainly imagine descriptions of physics that don’t require a formal system.

Here’s one: “every particle remains at rest for all t.” Now, that doesn’t describe our universe very well. But it might be a perfectly good description of a single-electron universe.

There’s no a priori reason to assume that a valid description of physics is axiomatizable in a formal system. Aruguments to the contrary are necessarily based on our own ignorance, not on anything fundamental.
ReCaptcha is terrible. They gaslight you into thinking you got answers wrong just to make you annotate more training data for them. Secondly they are entirely ineffective against spam. Right now I am just using a browser extension that automatically solves them for me and it works almost every time.

Google doesn't care about fighting spam they just want to exploit people for free labor in the name of 'security' just like they are going to kill ad-blocking and fingerprint protection in the name of 'privacy'.

> Are you saying people shouldn’t get a say on how their cities are run?

If there's one thing Bay Area cities have proven, it's that their citizens are incapable of running their cities. Putting NIMBY interests above regional interests are how they ended up in the current situation where any solution requires 7 counties, 22 regional associations and hundreds of so-called cities who can object to anything but are incapable of doing anything..
Being from a rural town means your teacher options are limited. Having a family that is not musical or well-connected to musicians means you won't get recommendations and nobody knows if a teacher is good. Being poor means your teacher options are WAY more limited.

You can't blame a four year old in a non-musical family for choosing bad teachers.

Btw, that was the main blocker for her being a performer. But she mentions other career paths for musicians, such as composing and teaching. In those careers being rich, well-connected and well located also matter a lot.
It’s still good to practice. You should be able to restore a prod backup in your sleep, ideally with the push of a button. You might _have_ backups, but it’ll still be anxiety-inducing if you haven’t practiced deploying them.

All their circuitry was purpose-designed for the specific things the calculator did. That's why room light was enough to power them. Something more complicated would lose many of the benefits (tiny general purpose CPU) or be expensive and unreliable (big, complex circuits).
This is a tricky one; maintaining people's safety/ privacy while giving drone pilots 'freedom' is quite a balance. For instance, in the UK you must maintain a physical line of sight with the drone at all times, this makes flying winged craft virtually pointless.

Right now the geo-fencing of where you can fly is very rigid, with no provisions for altitude and distance, this could be improved to include glide-paths near airports for instance. It could also be tiered depending on the pilot's qualifications (similar to scuba diving) and if the drone is fitted with a transponder, or if they have submitted a flight plan. With these, there's no reason a drone pilot can't have similar freedom as a helicopter pilot.

I think most of these problems stem from technology being ahead of legislation, as always.
I want to leave Seattle cause it's too expensive. Immediately Austin, Denver (or boulder), and Portland come to mind as reasonable alternatives.

It's just about money. You can have an absurdly well paying job in Seattle and it really doesn't matter because you still can't afford a house. You can pay absurd amounts for a small condo. You can have a god awful commute. Or you can move 3 hours south and your money goes further while you still get the appealing parts of living in a city.
Vinyl is one of those old-school technologies that seems like it's from the future. Somehow we turned sound into a disk. You can see and feel the sound and then a tiny needle will reproduce the original sound just by touching the disk. And in very high quality!

I'm still astonished that large companies run large systems on Python. I don't doubt that they're making the right decision, but it's a testament to how powerful inertia in large engineering systems is,given how incredibly horrible Python is for writing maintainable, sustainable multi-developer code. The most unfortunate part is that every engineer on a Python system has to be much more talented and disciplined to keep a workable system than they have to for statically typed languages (esp memory-safe ones), and yet one of the main attractions of choosing Python is chosen is that any rando can be nominally productive in it, which is helpful for talent-starved small companies.

No it's not. If there's a digital recording of a band and you can either listen to that exact set of bits encoded losslessly, for example from a flac file from a cheap usb key, Vs whatever the hell happens when you convert those bits into analogue and press them into some plastic with demonstrably worse track separation, distortion, and which physically degrades during each play even in optimal circumstances and where slightly moving the little box doing the playback can cause permanent damage to the vinyl then clearly the choice isn't based on sound quality.
Vinyl's growth is somewhat limited by the world's pressing capacity. Old pressing machines are being brought back online where possible: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/dec/10/record-demand-... [2017].

About a month ago I switched to BitWarden and it's been phenomenal. The UI is great, as is their mobile application. I've also heard good things about KeePass.
See sibling comment. Additionally it's possible to use the same Yubikey token on laptop and phone (through NFC or USB). Convenient and secure!

Second benefit is Yubikey can hold authentication subkey that can be used to SSH to a server on a phone.

This used to be what Last.fm did before they turned into a MySpace-like mess. Reviews are great but in a world of access to a monumental volume of content, a way to discover obscure things is still difficult to find, and apparently, to monetize. When Netflix started streaming, they tried the long tail approach, but soon changed to only licensing a few things and then serving them up in endless configurations, which must be far more business-friendly for them.

The great thing about game theory is it’s whatever you want it to be!

“In Stewart and colleagues’ model, gridlock is assumed to be both likely and undesirable. It is unclear whether these assumptions apply in larger-scale decision processes such as national elections — in which gridlock is either extremely unlikely or impossible. ”

So the entire theory is based on something that we observe does not happen and has no corollary in realty (voter gridlock) Okay....

>At 26000ft, the standard barometric pressure is 38 kPa (287 mmHg). This means that there is 38% of the oxygen available at sea level. (from https://baillielab.net/critical_care/air_pressure/)

In this analogy 'new cars' (CDs) have already largely been antiquated by the new technology of personal teleportation (audio files distributed over networks.)

The market for new cars still exists because some people don't like teleportation. Some people worry that teleportation recreates you imperfectly on the other side and thus prefer a new car. But that demographic is shrinking. Teleportation is simply so convienent that the overwhelming majority of consumers think the price worth paying.
