> The Fed has been maintaining emergency interest rates for a decade now

There is no such thing as “emergency interest rates”. Rate targets are set based on, primarily, balancing employment and inflation concerns, and there is no special “emergency” threshold.

> When do we expect the emergency to end ad rates to go back to the good old 3-5% band from prior to 2008?

That 3-5% band “prior to 2008” only goes back to 2005, when rates were again below 3%, for longer than the period from 2005-2008 where they were in that range.

Some of it is broad economic conditions, but mostly it's just that the Fed has been covering for the failure of Congress to act when needed; Congress has more powerful and focussed economic tools and is really intended to be the primary actor for everything but smoothing the edges of economic fluctuations, but has been largely asleep at the switch (when not actively reinforcing negative conditions) for the past couple of decades.
I'd say your very examples are proof that oversight does work, in general.

And you are imposing your personal views on those doing the overseeing, namely the branches of government. From their point of view, such "overreaches" may not necessarily be that far. Also, the respective presidents didn't only know about the programs, they ordered them. And the oversight committees mostly new about that, also.

I'm not saying that nothing went wrong, but the level of oversight in the US system of government does provide better "worst case" guarantees than in many other nations. And in the end, pretty much every significant wrong-doing seems to come to light, often through the political process or in case that is too slow, the media.
Sounds like you are talking about how to get and keep a CTO position and not how to do well in it. I'd argue that the most important role for a CTO is to shape the engineering culture.

A famous example is Jeff Bezos mandating that teams expose their interfaces via externalizable API's, he was a CEO but this was definitely a CTO move. He wouldn't have been able to make this mandate if he wasn't a good engineer himself, and that mandate lead to AWS which is where most of their current profits comes from.

I think this is why founders are so important and why big corporations will never be able to compete with startups, people who are better at solving problems than playing politics will simply be unable to climb the corporate hierarchies so they will only lead companies as founders.
But 20 G$ isn't 100 G$...
And that's just for the IEA countries, if you aren't counting the big fossil fuel players like Russia and OPEC on one hand and also China on the other - what is even the point of these numbers ?

And I see that the biggest US tight oil firms had a deficit of nearly 7 G$ for 2018, so I'd assume that their development costs (which are the majority of their costs due to the very high depletion rate) are even higher - so where does yours "order of magnitude greater" comes from ?

I met my previous girlfriend on OkC, with whom I was for 3 years, and the current one, 1 year and counting, hopefully a lot of counting.

There are definitely fewer people than e.g. Tinder, but they tend to be a lot more real vs spammers / scammers / engineered profiles designed to keep you in.

Most Tinder matches were bots, most OkC matches were actual people. Of course this is with a sample size of 1, in Germany. Your mileage may vary.
I have seen videos of people buying in batches of broken game consoles and replacing USB connectors and charge controllers since they often break and are not too hard to replace with the right tools.

I also spoke to someone from Russia who worked as a electronics repair person fixing things we would normally throw away because the price of new equipment is very high compared to the price of an expert's time to fix it.

Air is gonna do fine. The bottleneck in CPU cooling right now is pretty much always the transfer between the die, the heat spreader and the cooling plate, not the transfer from the fins to the air. Water cooling can do slightly better because you can keep the water cool, and with that the cooling plate, and through that increase the heat flow from the CPU to the plate, but it's really only marginally better than a big air cooler.

And if you put more dies below a heat spreader, you get more surface area, i.e. better heat flow overall (compared to a single die with the same power consumption) from the dies to the heat spreader and from the heat spreader to the cooling plate.

That's also the reason why bigger air coolers don't really do as much as you'd think they should in terms of cooling performance or overclocking, the difference between an NH-U14S and an NH-D15 is really quite small. If the problem is heat dissipation through the fins all you have to do is make the cooler bigger.
LTO-7 tapes are $10 per TB at Amazon (of course uncompressed), so they are still cheaper, but this $17.50 USD per TB is indeed the cheapest HDD that I have ever seen.

Nevertheless, these HDDs are much more expensive than they look at the first glance. The real cost of archival storage is given by the price per TB and per warranty year, because after the warranty time you must replace the storage medium.

I have seen countless HDDs that have died just a few months after their warranty time expired.

So these drives with 2-year warranty cost $8.75 per TB and per year.

The warranty time of the tapes is 30 years, but in fact you must replace them much faster because you will no longer find tape drives able to read them.

For LTO tapes, you should expect to replace them after 6 to 10 years.

Even with only a 6 year lifetime, the price for tape would be $1.67 per TB per year, i.e. more than 5 times cheaper than those WD HDDs.

If you want to just have some backups against accidents, which you expect to erase after a few weeks, then those HDDs could be a good choice.

For archival purposes they are still much more expensive than tapes.
For all intents and purposes of astronomic calculations, you can pretend it's 9mm in size, because A) the difference between a 9mm sized object that behaves like a black hole and a singularity with a 9mm event horizon is minimal and B) it's a 9mm black hole going 50km/s+, most math will result in the extinction of human kind anyway.

For the black hole the ground is merely more dense vacuum, the ground has barely enough time to move if it comes in at interplanetary velocities (50km/s+), so by the time the ground will begin to react to the intense gravity, the black hole will have passed through with the force of a few hundred nuclear explosions.

It took New Horizons about ten years to reach Pluto and this black hole would be on the order of ten times further away from the sun than Pluto.

I am dumbfounded that respectable journals still don't regularly engage in data escrow with third party adjudication precisely for this reason. A credible question about the veracity or interpretation of the data, in terms of objectively presented statistical heuristics, should automatically grant confidential data access for further peer review. This could be accomplished easily with threshold-type cryptographic tools, even amongst hierarchies of authors. These studies are the basis of our science and are its direct credibility. It's absurd we don't take precautions against the malefactors who would pervert it.

I contribute to free software. When a user asks me to change something, most of the time I am quite happy to do that. Sometimes a user asks me to change something, with the message that it is easy and won't take much time. Those requests get instantly put on the backburner, and maybe a year later I start working on them. It really irks me the wrong way.

Just an analogy... Suppose on a nice summer sunday afternoon, you are walking or cycling on the country side. You come past a farm, and they have free apples on the side of the road that you can take with you. You pick one, but find that there is a bad spot on that apple. First thing you do is throw it against the front wall of the farm. The farmer comes outside and you tell him he should be more carefull in picking apples, it is easy to do that and won't take much time. Next week you are there again, and there are no free apples anymore.

Playing a video in reverse is time reversal.

I'm sorry, I cannot really appreciate anything that plays with time and space. These are metrics to measure. I'm really not sure we can apply any thought process to imagine time reversal.

We can only imagine time reversal but that exists only in the mind not outside the head.

Another anology I would like to use "I have 100 litre of water, and I found a way to double it, compress it while keeping the mass volume unchanged".

That's how anything with space / time reversal / space wrap travelling machine all sounds!.

Stop encouraging these kind of flawed theories.

Being a net exporter of electricity does not imply that a country does not need nuclear.

Yes, some tiny European countries can rely on hydro or geothermal for baseline generation. Most countries can’t, and even if they’re a net exporter, they’re heavily dependent on fossil fuels (or nuclear) for filling in gaps.

Battery technology is nowhere near sufficient for the need, things like pumped storage are space intensive, and exotic stuff like hydrogen and molten sodium and whatnot are decades off. Something has to fill the gap. Nuclear is a good choice.

Nothing magic about what happened. Did you expect the relative rankings of technologies to remain fixed and unchanging across the decades?

That would a terrible idea.

Here is a simple example why:

Finasteride is a compound that is used in two drugs. Proscar is used for prostate enlargement. It is old, out-of-patent, and has cheap generics. Propecia is used for hair loss. It is a newer, and (at the time) very expensive. The only difference is that Propecia is a lower-dose formulation.

What people did was to ask their doctors to perscribe generic Proscar, and then break the pills up to take for hair loss. Doctors would then justify the prescription by "diagnosing" enlarged prostate. This would enter the patient's health records.

If you apply deep learning without being aware of this "trick", you would learn that a lot of young men have enlarged prostates, and that Proscar is an effective, well-tolerated treatment for it.

Health records are often political-economic documents rather than medical.
You should improve your own logic.

>Basically, the market is ripe for a respectful dating site. But OKCupid started this way; and in the end they sold out. What makes you think you won't sell out when the money is right?

Seems like it's a problem that can't really be solved by a profit seeking company, and has to be left to a non-profit foundation or something like that.

Image hosting has a similar problem. Imgur used to be the "good" image hoster, but they have been slipping immensly. In the case of something like image hosting I could see publicly funded infrastructure solving the problem. Not sure how comfortable I'd be with this in the case of dating.
A Wright scheme?
You launch with very little content and build from there by marketing directly to the audience that you need to join, and hope they're receptive. It helps to have a good reputation with one side of your market beforehand.

Also note that most marketplaces take a relatively long time to really get going. For example, Etsy has been going for 14 years.

That looked like a pretty heavy duty lock, but as a kid I learned that a hammer or smashing a lock against the ground works most of the time.

In something like a shipping container the actual lock is shielded away from these types of attacks by the container itself.

Curious.
This is somewhat reminiscent of SGI's ccNUMA and CRAYLink/NUMALink architectures.

If memory serves, IRIX (SGI's UNIX OS) had both the metrics to see the latency of access, and the ability to migrate the data and/or the compute closer to each other.

ccNUMA was open-sourced and AMD uses it on their multi-core/multi-socket systems, though usually within the motherboard. Not so much leaving the case and interlinking SGI Origin system style (which is what the CRAYLink/NUMALink tech did).

What I guess you could do as a business owner is wear plainclothes / take off the apron and have a coffee with your own staff. Mind you it'll look quite obvious in a lot of cases due to the staff wearing e.g. aprons or other accessories that infer they're staff.

But giving away some free coffee or something just to break the ice (or 'prime' as another commenter called it) will be a good strategy as well. It requires a bit of pushing which some people will find annoying but still, it'll be worth it.
