> My general rule of thumb: Try to stick to natural fabrics (cotton, wool, linen) for most things. Synthetics can be good but most are really cheap.

For me, buying cheap stuff that has to be replaced often is the price I'm willing to pay for fabrics that feel comfortable and don't irritate my skin.

I absolutely cannot tolerate the feeling of cotton on my skin, and if I have a choice, everything I wear would be made out of rayon and spandex.
Banks don't win IPO mandates by quoting the board of directors a valuation that's lower than the last round.

Both Goldman and Morgan Stanley gave the BoD much higher valuation numbers, which made members believe the stock price was going to go up... and when your options are going up in price, it's easiest not to rock the boat, and ignore misdeeds or conflicts.

You only realize who has been swimming in the ocean without trunks when the tide goes out ;)
Given that you have to compile from source for macOS and Windows, knowing that you need to have `rustc` installed is indeed a pre-req.

Why is it featured so heavily, instead of just in the build instructions? I don't know. Marketing? It appears to be by developer(s), for developers, and in the dev space Rust is very vogue right now.
Considering that early IPO trading is fairly limited due to lockup, and IPO process itself restricted to high-net-worth clients (index funds normally don't participate until much later), I'd say that public markets provide a fairly efficient price discovery mechanism.

It's quite rational for VCs to extract maximum value for themselves and their clients, and similarly rational for IPO buyers to push back on proposed valuations.
Geo-engineering is like chemo. It comes with a bunch of other problems and it's far better to take steps to avoid being in a place where you need it. Usually proponents for it here do not talk about the downsides of it.
> Locking people in is a bad idea regardless of situation (and I am pretty sure it is illegal to do so against their will)

As an American I still find it weird that it is even possible to lock someone in: anyone I've asked has had stories about young kids locking themselves or their parents in or out of a room with no easy way to fix the situation (resulting in things like balcony jumping). I don't see the benefit in designing things that way.
Thanks. I do appreciate the details, and the discussion around this. As I said I don't know what Monica said so I'm trying to reserve judgement, but I am sceptical because of how I've seen many of these arguments play out. I would be interested in seeing the details of the particular conversation, because this is one of those situations where details really truly matter.
This is following a UAW complaint from last year: https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2018/05/25/uaw-tesl...

> "Could do so tmrw if they wanted. But why pay union dues & give up stock options for nothing?"

Not to defend Musk, but UAW has never, ever negotiated for stock options as part of compensation plans. And from the union's perspective, it would be dumb to fight over stock options over actual money in the hand of its members (in the form of pensions or healthcare).

This was the bigger deal:

> The judge ruled that Ortiz's firing was illegal. "An employer may not terminate an employee for lying in response to questions regarding" union organizing, the judge wrote.

This is a good lesson. If someone has a protected legal right, they have the right to lie about it too. Firing someone for lying about a disability is the same as firing someone for having a disability.

It's remarkable that in this case he was able to obscure just a single piece of information to avoid phase lock. That's rarely the case. If you wanted to avoid phase lock for most topics you'd have to completely cut yourself off from all the literature in the field.

Yeah I wondered when someone would just create a super dense (networked) phased array system.
Phabricator is very similar to Gerrit or the LMKL workflow, which - in my opinion - works a lot better for large-scale software development. The first-class CLI (arcanist) is also super helpful - I can easily generate stacked revisions right from my IDE without using a web browser.
The issue tracker is also way more powerful than any other open source product.

While great for companies who can deal with the onboarding cost, it adds a lot of friction for an open source project so I can see why they move to Gitlab, even if it's less powerful.
When did everything become extensible instead of extendable. Do they mean different things? Is it a case of while vs whilst?

First, your argument is completely silly to the point of not being taken seriously.

Now, no one gives a shit about how advertising tampons to women discriminates against men. And no one gives a shit that Axe body spray is targeted to males of a certain demographic. What the government is concerned about is how advertising jobs, housing, and finance can be discriminatory.

If you post an ad for a job that targets exclusively men, you are in violation of the Civil Rights Act (Title IX), and the American Disabilities Act.

If you post an ad for an apartment that targets white males you are in violation of the Housing and Community Development Act and the Civil Rights Act.

If you post an ad for mortgages or other financial vehicles that targets a certain demographic and even certain neighborhoods you are in violation of the Civil Rights Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.

There is no law against marketing bras to women, beers to men, or Cialis to the elderly. Housing, employment, and access to credit are some of the foundational services that the government has deemed any discrimination is bad. There is no one step forward because there is a clear line drawn in the sand that anyone with a basic understanding of these laws will know.
1. My point still stands, using if-statements is not common in Erlang exactly for the reason you mention.

2. In Erlang it usually only make sense to care about errors which you can actually handle in a sensible way. Everything else you usually "let crash" and let the supervisor tree deal with recovering. Defensive programming is another anti-pattern in Erlang in my opinion.

4. Not sure what you mean with "not great". With Erlang, if you have a completely parallelizable problem you should see close to linear scalability. If it drops of after that it's either because the problem is not parallelizable enough or because of your architecture.

Yeah, I'm not arguing Erlang over Java either. I'm just pointing out that blanket statements like this are usually because of architecture or design rather than shortcomings of the language itself.

> I find it odd how much better off-the-rack fit tends to be on more expensive clothes (for men, anyway). You'd think that'd be one thing the cheaper brands could easily duplicate

Cheaper bands target a wider range of body types per SKU, which naturally produces worse fit on average.

Out of curiosity, do eSIMs, now common in newer phones, make these kind of attacks less likely or more likely? It seems like they would be more likely since there's no physical component anymore.
To summarize it for the curious in a hurry: intellectual phase lock is the tendency for people in science/intellectual-endeavors to publish/assert results that are not too far from what other people are getting. With this tendency, it can take a while for a (science) community to drift from a fashionable, wrong belief to a more correct belief. thijser's comment[0] is a good example of intellectual phase lock.

My PhD contract ends today. I'll defend by the end of the year. I'm leaving academia.

I'm happy to have "tried" a PhD. I didn't know whether I wanted to do research. During my PhD, I advised several interns on a software project I started as a student during an internship. I could teach, which I liked to do.

But it was exhausting. It was hard to even start working these days. It didn't work out, because I didn't get to grips with my subject, and didn't enjoy my advisors.

My father is a researcher and sees research and writing paper as I game. He enjoys doing it. If you don't particularly like doing research and don't plan to become a researcher, it's a big no. Don't do a PhD.

Also don't start a PhD at a place you know you don't like. What kept me enjoying life is my friends, my family, enjoying the place where I live and the club I'm part of.

> It seems very lonely, and I don't find much enjoyment from, say, sitting in my office reading papers all day

It's not quite like that. There is paper reading, and there is sitting at a desk, behind a computer, writing. But a PhD is also about learning and having interesting discussion with your advisors and your colleagues (I didn't especially experience that but I now former and current PhD students who do/did). It's also solving problems and modeling things using a sheet of paper or a big whiteboard. It's also implementing proof of concepts.

My experience as a PhD student was not so great, but loneliness was not part of this. I had an active social life and loved these years as a PhD student just for that. Being alone during the day in such a life is a feature at times, but if you have a nice team, you may enjoy coffee breaks and meals with your colleagues, who may become your friends. You are not really alone. There are nice people around you you can enjoy and have interesting conversations with every day.

If you do a PhD, don't stay alone. You will most likely need support from your friends and your family. Either by just doing something else with them, or by talking about your difficulties.
You are not wrong. But air defense radars operate in specific bands, too. So when articles targeted at laymen use phrases like "designed to be undetectable by radar" - I think they mean that the aircraft is designed to have a small RCS for the bands/radars generally in operation. But of course you are technically right, the jet isn't literally invisible...

For people asking why is there even such a thing as negative interest rate (lend $100, get back $99), NPR Planet Money has a good explainer. TL;DR: There's a lot of cash in search of investment. While waiting for opportunity, you could stash it under the mattress. But that's not safe, you'd probably have to buy a safe, hire some guards. Also it's not very liquid. So you pay a bank to hold it for you, put it in their safe, use their transfer system, etc. Tah-dah: negative interest rate.

Can you give an example where a non-deep learning segmentation method outperforms deep learning algorithms? Do you mean static camera setups where traditional background subtraction works well enough? I would assume DL approaches match or outperform those even there.
In their defense, Masayoshi Son made much of his fortune by applying the greater fool theory (and lost much of it that way as well). There's a chance they really just took a calculated risk here, and with many of their other investments too. The risk being not so much the success of the company like normal VC investments, but explicitly a "maybe we can profitably push this through an IPO, let's see if the sheeple fall for it" kind of thing.

>but that the whole concept of "stealth" aircraft may be limited in the future thanks to ever increasing computation power and clever usage of existing radio waves (making effective, passive, "radar" that cannot be easily overcome)

This. One solution is to simply deploy a considerable number of ground and orbital (or even use blimps/balloons like some companies want to do for wireless internet, or for quicker deployment during a developing incident a fleet of autonomous drones) IR sensors and simply follow the exhaust, with low enough latency and a little predictive maths you could probably know where an aircraft is, and will be, for the next several seconds at any given second with an almost perfect degree of accuracy unless the aircraft is actively conducting evasive maneuvers.

Tie that together with traditional radar, x-ray, terrestrial radio broadcasts, etc and you can make a system that would be hard to evade detection from.

The larger an area you are attempting to detect aircraft in, the harder it would be, but you could protect specific facilities by deploying much smaller grids over likely approach paths with say ground based IR sensors to detect exhaust trails of anything on approach and then in a much tighter area close to the strategic target.

You could also probably deploy atmospheric microphones in blimps/balloons that report their location with GPS and use some sound detection algorithm to detect aircraft moving away from them and use a network of such microphones to dial in an approximate location, heading and speed. Not unlike commercial gunshot/shooter detection systems that already exist.

So people were right to suggest that black people need special policing at the time when it was the right political message, or Bernie Sanders was quite mistaken to advocate for gay rights at a time when it was a bad issue for any candidate. Many Americans still believe that black people have special criminal characteristics or that homosexuality is a severe spiritual evil. Perhaps more social harmony could’ve been achieved had we not advocated for convenient theories of the time.

It’s history which has the opportunity of final judgement, and it almost always looks dimly on the moral sensibilities of their predecessors.

Somewhere is a metaphorical Bernie whose career has disappeared, but I’m glad for those people who didn’t hop on political opportunism just because as a messaging and thought leader it’s the strong move which reads the room.
Gee, even as an American I'm kind of hoping for that with reckless abandon!

Saying that it's wise to turn the PC off has no effect on the large swathes of corporate developers who only see an off PC as potential waste of time.

That's a neat fact, but the reality is that to support a human population of 7B+ with intensive agriculture and industrial production, the planet heating up is in fact devastating.

Literally the science states that continued warming is going to have devastating impact on the environment and on the ability of industrial society to exist.

We're facing ecological collapse on more than a few fronts (the collapse of fisheries, insect and bird populations, water crises in heavily populated regions, etc), why throw in a full-blown climate crisis in there as well.

Do other Vulkan samples work for you (e.g. vkcube)? I was getting this issue on a laptop with both NV and Intel. Problem can be worked around by forcing the Vulkan loader to use Nvidia GPU (by providing `VK_ICD_FILENAMES=<path_to_nvidia_icd.json>`).
You are arguing reformation vs. restitution. Most countries (and their electorate) would rather have restitution, not because restitution is a better solution, but because vengeance has been the gold standard of justice for millennia. It's a self-perpetuating zeitgeist.

The irony is that these systems do not achieve restitution. The victims may experience righteous indignation, but that will soon fade away. Meanwhile the perpetrators gets to spend a few years among their peers in crime university.

Firing Mods and Forced Relicensing
I said “you’re gonna have a bad time”. He’s having a bad time. The fact that I’m anti-pedophilia is incidental to the fact that the Minsky remarks are not necessary to establish that RMS is (was?) at least plausibly pro-pedophilia at one point by his own admission on his own website.

I literally cannot believe that words like “SS Officer” and “authoritarian rightists” are making an appearance in a conversation that started roughly with “nah he actually said that shit, here’s the link, and no one should be surprised that he’s having a terrible time as a result, the Minsky shit is not necessary to establish that he actually said that”.

I really cannot see why everyone is so fucking super duper hyper charged up over this. Pedophilia being bad is about as vanilla of a position that it’s possible to take on anything, and while free speech entitles people in the US at least to take a different position, it seems like kind of a stretch to expect anyone’s employer to line up behind that.

First of all, we're not talking C. This is a C++ template parameter. The feature doesn't exist in C.

Second, it is not "nuts" to use int, I would argue it's quite a bit more crazy to use rarely-supported 128-bit quantities when you don't need them. Your suggestion of "sint32" (this is not a standardized typedef, you mean int32_t perhaps) would be the same as int on most compilers today, and size_t is likewise very often 32 bits. Your suggestion is basically a no-op in a lot of places. Domain-specific areas like file formats or network protocols are a different story, as those have to be explicit about specifying sizes.

Third:

A confounding factor in this statistic is that even if you were a rational actor, weighing the deterrence value of the death penalty, the actual application of the death penalty is far from certain, so you'd appropriately assign it low probability. The distance from the present in time, and absolute probability are likely key contributors to this not being a good stat. A good look at deterrence would be Singapore, where probability of swift punishment seems to materially reduce crime.
Early/first in what exactly?
I was getting a screen protector and apparently they're so cheap / specialized that they have no reviews at all. I ended up looking at reviews for other products by the same company.

It could also be that they're all dropshippers and change their brand frequently to avoid negative reviews, but the stock graphics were at least slightly tweaked compared to Alibaba's.
> Also, it's a VHF technique, which is low enough frequency that I'd bet active cancellation is practical, possibly even through a software update :)

A lot of this stuff is literally an arms race, along multiple dimensions. Want to active-cancel the VHF signal? You'll need a transmitter for that. How many can you miniaturize into your fighter, and how many can they fit into the installation on the ground?

Another way that it's a race. You have to detect the signal quickly enough and recognize that it's a signal, and then jam it before they can get enough return to discern you from the noise.

So there was always a matter of economics/engineering here, and one valid criticism of the F-35 is that it costs a lot for what it's doing, and any way that chips into its advantage (in a way that is actually production-ready, and not just an irreproducible hack) shifts that cost/benefit balance.
When I first got into finance, it was working for a professor who'd come up with one of, if not the first, reasonably good fixed income option model. Our original implementation allowed for negative interest rates since as he put it, they're not unheard of (this was in the 1980s, so long term interest rates in the US were well over 10% at the time). Everywhere we demo'd the model, practitioners complained that you can't have negative interest rates, so our next iteration got rid of them. Interesting times.
