As a fellow scientist this enrages me to no end.

It is little wonder that people lose faith in science if these kinds of quack researchers continue to claim revolutionary new inventions while swindling investors and the public out of money.

To nuance a little: I am not outraged by the fact that this project didn't work out. Research projects fail all the time; research is difficult and uncertain. The continued lying and pretending ("fake it until you make it"), however, is very problematic and in some labs and in some research fields systemic.

Let's hope MIT and/or the Media Lab have an adequate response to this immoral misconduct.
I’ve done that a few times when I’ve had to hire people very quickly.

I numbered each resume without reading it and drew lots. We had 6 people interview ~30 people for 10 slots. Each person had 15 minutes to talk. Candidates were out of the running if 3 people said “no”. We stopped when we had 10 people.

It worked out pretty good, but made HR angry. We ended up with 2 bozos, but the rest were pretty great.

I worked at another place years ago where we would mentor call center agents to become DBAs and Unix people. Those folks were all awesome, and a few had GEDs only. One of them called me to thank me for the opportunity, he just became a CIO!

Personally, if you have the time, you can mentor and get better results from a marginally qualified, engaged candidate than a person with the right credentials.
These are virtual trends that give an illusion of progress. Yes you can order something off of Amazon now, but the product is still being transported to your home, physically. Think of the web as another api to interface with the real world. The trends within this api are largely inconsequential and unpredictable because they have less bearing on reality then something like inventing a teleportation system or fusion reactor.

The technological trends of the past 40 years have largely been in the area of illusion. IT and finance are where most of this growth occurs. There are definitely some tangible benefits but most economic improvements are more abstract/illusory then physical and real. Aa true paradigm shifting event happens in the real world. Energy, transportation, climate are where it's really happening.

The appification shopping, listening to music and other abstract stuff are largely unpredictable because that's all it is: virtual abstractions. It's fluid like software and it's easy to change. Speculating on where this change goes is like predicting stock prices.

The racing line tries to widen every curve. You go into the turn on the outside, right over to the inside at the apex, and come out of the corner on the outside again. Try and just clip the edging on entry, apex and exit.

You've driven a much shallower turn than the road, so can take it faster. :)
You're aware of specific instances of people actually going to jail for this sort of thing? I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but honestly I'd be surprised if it did, and surprised if Ito was criminally charged in relation to this conduct.
The blur is because the vehicle was vibrating. It means the thrusters were on. Note how they smooth out shortly after deceleration stops. Some of the larger movements could be maneuvering. If it is orientating itself then the antenna would intermittently move back and forth relative to the receiver.
> Software is also a really immature field.

It's not that immature. I'd measure the maturity of engineering, or any field really, as it's ability to create reproducible results. That result could be designing bridges that last a predicable amount of time, cars that run for a certain number kilometers before wearing out, or surgery that produces the outcomes predicted. This doesn't mean the surgery always works, or there isn't the odd car that fails in it's first 1000km: just that we know what the rates outcomes are and we can keep below a given level for a known cost. That level is never 0 because the cost for 0 rises to infinity.

For software it's a case of delivering something that does the job asked for and that operates at below a certain failure rate. This doesn't mean a zero failure rate or no bugs: just that we set a upper limit and can reliably meet it. It seems pretty clear there are many large teams of software engineers out there that can do precisely that. Google has even allowed their engineers to write & publish books about how they achieve that: https://landing.google.com/sre/workbook/toc/ It's not rocket science - just a method of doing things team of sufficient size can replicate.

> For example, nearly each source tree I've seen has its own idiosyncrasies in term of organization and layout.

I've got some news: that happens in every engineering discipline, even the mature ones. There are some things that don't effect the outcome overly. What you name you directories may be one of them. It may be it so unimportant they leave it to an engineers discretion, or it may be an organisation can settle on any name, provided they stick to it.

> But these questions still applies.

No, it doesn't. If you look at that site reliability engineering handbook, it's not about naming directories. It's mostly about measuring failure rates, and then applying well known techniques if it is getting too high. The well known techniques are mostly about change control, which happens to be a very boring subject most young software engineers almost universally hate. Trying to impose change control on a young software engineer is like trying to put a lead on a cat: it will do anything to avoid it including pulling in the reverse direction to where the lead is going, playing dead and refusing to acknowledge it's possible to move at all with the lead on, and attacking the person trying to put it on.
As a racer of stock and late model cars, it allows the driver to maintain higher speeds at entry and exit of corners by utilizing every bit of track available to you. It’s more beneficial to you when the track is utilized at its entirety.

On corner entry you hug the yellow line as close as you can with full speed and much less braking, on exit because of the speed and always trying to apply minimal breaking the car it’s harder to turn so you apply enough breaking to maintain the car in the track and get as close to the corner as you can.

Hope it helps.
Corporation tax, It's there at 12.5% however if you have a company like I done for last 12 years you get hit with exact same income taxes as normal employees. Revenue have angles locked down. In fact as director you loose a pile of tax credits.

But but you can give yourself a loan out of company? Nope withholding tax due on that!

Ok what about expensing everything? Don't do it, Revenue will nail you as you are guilty until you prove yourself innocent in their eyes.

There are porn stars who live comfortably yet remain in the business. There are even wives who like to be pimped out by their husbands because it's kinky to them; that's technically still prostitution.

I don't think the 'happy hooker' is just a theoretical thing. I think it exists, and it happens all the time. The fact that there is prostitution doesn't imply there is a power imbalance. Maybe if prostitution wasn't so stigmatized, it would be even more common.

Having said that, in this context there is obviously a power imbalance. Somebody says they're scared to leave because of the threat of violence. I'm sure this also happens in way too many cases around the world. I share your view that possibly a significant chunk of this misery can be done away with by getting rid of poverty. However, let's not forget the contribution to said misery by the mere psychopathy that drives people like Epstein.
Wow. How is it legal to donate to your local police dep? That’s like legal bribery. Tax payers’ money is supposed to pay for this.
I believe it’s easy to be cured of this disease by realizing what you want in life and realizing your limitations.

I care (like probably most other people) about having a reasonably good career, being reasonably financial stable, taking reasonably care of my health, my spiritual life, working on self-education and becoming more informed over time, practicing a small number of hobbies, socializing some, cleaning my house, and contributing some to the communities I find myself in. I’m not in a relationship but that would be very important if I were.

If something doesn’t fall into those, I don’t really care. I’m sure I’ll miss new and improved ways to do those marginally better, but I don’t really care. I basically go out of my way to avoid things that don’t contribute to those unless it’s socially essential (going out with friends or something).

Now there are still infinite variations and ways those all relate to each other and pitfalls to avoid. Watching news tv or reading it on the Internet has many cons. Not keeping has its own (out of touch, susceptible to believe nonsense, etc.). So I get a print newspaper and read it sometimes. Reading insane stuff on the internet may make you spend a lot of time incorrectly doing things that you think will help your health. So don’t do that. Etc (maybe some of its useful but certainly a lot isn’t)

Also have some humility (easier said than done). People are just going to be smarter and more successful than me and if I’m successful I’ll certainly meet them. No secret or new technique or extreme work routine will make something impossible happen to overcome that.
The technical term for the seed is "local hidden variable". It's a "local hidden variable" because in your model the particle can have a copy of it, so it doesn't have to communicate with a central authority that has all the "global hidden variables" just before collapsing.

The problem is that in some experiments, your model or any model where that is based in local hidden values gives the wrong result. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem

This has been measure experimentally, and the results agree with QM and disagree with the local hidden variables predictions.

[Note in the historical part of the article that Einstein liked local hidden variables, so you are not alone.]

There are plenty of jobs in banking that don’t require much beyond the ability to get a BA in whatever and a personality that tends to follow the rules.

Even in tech jobs, the narrow scope of jobs for compliance reasons enables all sorts of wacky. I had a buddy who basically performed a single task related to zoning SAN volumes and made an obscene salary for doing so.

Uh, no.

Rust crates are still full of the type of bugs that Python libraries killed years ago. Garbage collection overall really does make things easier. And Java still does concurrency better than practically everything else out there.

If you are doing systems programming, go for Rust instead of C++. Maybe even Rust instead of C. But, I would reach for Python, Ruby, Kotlin, Clojure or even modern Java before Rust for most non-Javascript projects.

The pipeline did not even cross tribal land. So construction could have proceeded fine if there was no trespassing. Therefore (obviously), there was trespassing and interference with legal construction activities, countered by private security and law enforcement at various times.

From his MIT Media Lab bio: In Japan, he was a founder of Digital Garage and helped establish and later became CEO of the country’s first commercial Internet service provider.

Probably netted him enough to set the rest in motion. Still, landing professorships at MIT and Harvard without a college degree is pretty wild.
Car mods aside, 2014 vs 2019 aside, Tesla driver might just be a bad driver. The only way to know is to swap the drivers and have them race again. If Nissan Leaf wins again, then it's the better car.

Majority of the Chinese app eco-system is based on this HTML5, including WeChat mini-apps and Alibaba's Alipay and Taobao apps.

>As far as I can tell, much of this “value” consists of inserting oneself into existing money flows and diverting a tiny part into one’s own pocket, at the expense of everyone else in the society.

Then you should keep “what you can tell” to yourself. People that sit in the middle and provide no value are quickly competed out of business without the protection of some kind of government mandate to be a middleman.
To be fair, I don't think the Leaf looks bad. The Tesla just looks more like a "conventionally attractive" higher end sedan.

I lived in North Dakota during it's height and 30 years prior. It was a ridiculous protest driven by emotional overreaction to a normal construction proceeding (the Missouri had already been crossed near Williston by the same pipeline).

It had a disruptive negative impact on many of the surrounding communities. And the state was left with a huge mess to clean up after all the protestors left.

>> This Race Shows How Far Ahead Tesla Is

Only the most hardcore fanboy would see such a loss as as win. Ya, it was a new leaf against an old tesla. It might have been an unfair race, but this is still racing. A loss is a loss. The only answer to such a result is to bring out the better car for the next race. Until then, victory to the victors.
Yeah, that claim is most definitely false. You don't need to look very hard to find evidence to the contrary.

> Fossils have been visible and common throughout most of natural history, and so documented human interaction with them goes back as far as recorded history, or earlier.

> There are many examples of paleolithic stone knives in Europe with fossil echinoderms set precisely at the hand grip, going all the way back to Homo heidelbergensis and neanderthals. They also drilled holes through the center of these round shells and apparently used them as beads for necklaces.

...

> Fossils appear to have directly contributed to the mythology of many civilizations, including the ancient Greeks. Classical Greek historian Herodotos wrote of an area near Hyperborea where gryphons protected golden treasure. There was indeed gold mining in that approximate region, where beaked Protoceratops skulls were common as fossils.

How does this impact the use of scrap metal feedstock and direct reduced iron?
At my school it was seen as a political issue.

If you got stuck in a section that was dominated by a particular group of students, you were screwed because the class had a hard curve and the group openly and blatantly cheated.

We had a faculty mentor from a different department sit in and witness what happened in an midterm, and escalated it to the administration, who made an accommodation for us.
halting construction is a protest, not a crime. Protests can disrupt things, and still be lawful. vandalism, sure that's technically a crime. We should definitely use DNA to track down someone who spray painted a bulldozer... three years later... makes sense.
My specific complaint with the article is that it's wrong and dangerous to consider nuclear through a narrow lens and therefore not a balanced and unbiased view.
I've never heard anyone in my life say they could rebuild MS office in a weekend.

The saying usually uses Facebook or Twitter.
See https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/aeo/pdf/electricity_generation.... Main finding is that newly built nuclear power is about twice as expensive as wind and 40% more expensive than solar power. Other studies come to similar conclusions. With the cost of solar and wind expected to decrease due to mass production and technology advancements, their advantage grows even larger.

The real nail in the coffin are the huge uncertainties and capital costs. Suppose projections show that electricity demand will rise by 1000MW over the next ten years so new reactor is built. But what if demand only rises by 500MW? Then you have wasted billions that won't ever be recouped.
Many people here are writing about classmates that didn't care, coasted, cheated, etc., painting a picture of that as the norm. I'm sure that goes on, but it's by no means universal, or even (in my experience) dominant. I went to a middle of the road public university because I got a full scholarship. I thought I was smart, the smartest in any room-- for about a month. (It says how young & dense I was that it took so long) Then I realized I was surrounded by people who were at least as smart, plenty of them smarter, harder working (and I wasn't lazy) and intellectually curious. I was humbled (and better for it). I have also worked in higher ed technology and in contact with many students as a result, and my experience with them was the same.

So absolutely there are cynical grade chasers, and worse those that pay their way to do it. But a very large portion are not. You probably just don't know it because they aren't loudly bragging about how they got the easiest professor, coasted to an A, plagiarizes a paper without getting caught, etc. They're just doing the work.

java.util.concurrent is sheer utter brilliance condensed to code.

If you're doing concurrency, you should look at how java.util.concurrent does it. And, then, if you aren't doing it that way, you should start asking really hard questions.
Not in the same way. Since there's no significant runtime behind rust, there's no specific way to query it in an abstract way. On the other hand, native code means that you can use any common way to query the system. Anything you'd use for C or C++ will work as well. Profilers, stack querying, monitoring the process itself, user-level probes, etc. will work just fine. There's lots of tools that will work for this.
