The Saudis engaged in a widely-publicised example of state-sanctioned murder of a US journalist last year with limited repercussions. I’d think twice before trusting in the rule of law where our politically expedient friends are concerned.
EU is using taxpayer money to buy loyalty. Because EU has no political base of it own it has to create one.

All the EU administration staff who is loyal to abstract organisation because of generous perks and benefits not to mention early retirement. All the local politicians for whom EU financed projects are huge political win. All the anti-EU populists who get plenty of EU subsidies as farmers or parishes.

I kind of feel ROS rebuilt a ton of Google tech before it was open sourced. rosbuild is bazel, Ros messages are protobuffers/flatbuffers, orchistration is k8s. I feel we could do a better job these days with the newer tools rather than ROS's less maintained, less interesting to researchers, reimplementation of infra tech.
> By that reasoning, a presidential candidate of Chinese descent who was a natural born American citizen but had relatives back in china would be disqualified

Not so. The Constitution is very clear on eligibility requirements for the President. A natural born American citizen of Chinese descent who otherwise satisfies the requirements in Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 is perfectly eligible to run for the office. If there is concern about potential leverage foreign states have over that candidate--as there rightly would be if our natural born American had close family in PRC--voters might vote for someone else. My position is that such a motivation on the part of the voters is ethical.

> I accept that I do not qualify for a high security clearance because I’m married to a Chinese national. I don’t think that should have any bearing on any other jobs that don’t require such clearances (nor my wife nor my son should be subject to such restrictions).

First, I agree that your or your son's relationship to a Chinese national should not be sufficient grounds to deny you or your son any given job. My position is that a narrowly tailored policy to reject candidates with high risk of coercion from sensitive positions, or to limit such employees' access to sensitive data, is probably OK. Having close family residing in PRC unfortunately does raise the risk of coercive pressure being applied. If your wife has no surviving close relatives in PRC and she never goes to visit, you and your son should be assessed to have no greater vulnerability to coercion than any other citizen with otherwise similar circumstances (debts, addictions, etc.).

Second, I am curious why you disagree completely, yet accept that your relationship with your wife may disqualify you from holding a government security clearance. That means you accept that the government has an interest in protecting classified information from foreign powers, and that your relationship raises your risk profile. Do you not accept that private companies have an interest in protecting their IP and customer data from theft or sabotage? Or do you not accept that your relationship also raises your risk profile for these positions? Just because a position may not require a clearance does not mean that position is not highly sensitive to a potential insider threat. And unfortunately the PLA's targets are not restricted to intelligence agencies; they target virtually every sector of our economy.
I had a calculator from 1985 a TI Scientific SLR solar powered. I did not know it had a bug in the square root function. It was enough to flunk Algebra and get a C in Statistics. I bought a more modern calculator later on when I went back to college and learned the older one had a square root bug. I never learned to do the math in my head, that would have been a neat trick.
Armin's points are true, but PyPy makes the best of the situation, and hopefully the C-API will be deprecated at some point.
Isn't this the case with most of Python? It did a great job of pretending to be an efficient language by having libraries pawn off the heavy lifting to companion C implementations. I wonder what's so special about Python that it does this much more often than any of the other languages I know.
So, if I've read this correctly, we can thank the United States' problem of the insane and mentally ill being homeless rather than being placed in mental institutions on this Jewish professor who blatantly lied about his work.

Thanks for checking out our project! Completely understand where you're coming from, I also struggled with imagining how differentiable programs could work, after all, computer programs implement discrete functions! When building it, I learned two surprising facts:

(1) We can perform gradient descent on integer functions! [1] There are rigorous assumptions for differentiability (e.g. Lipschitz-continuity, β-smoothness), but most often, these don't apply in the real world. Although many discrete optimization problems can relaxed to semi-differentiable ones, even if a function is not strictly differentiable, we can still derive an approximately correct expression for the gradient.

(2) It is possible to symbolically derive functions in discrete spaces! There are many, many examples of this in various settings (e.g. Brzonski's derivative [2], Lambda calculus [3], Boolean algebra [4], et al. [5]). A number of researchers are studying generalized differentiation, or "change propagation" in other topological spaces [6]. Although still very abstract and hard to interpret, these ideas have important applications for incremental computation and together with probabilistic programming [7], may one day lead to an analogous mechanism to gradient descent on a much broader class of functions.

With this in mind, Kotlin𝛁 implements symbolic differentiation. Whenever the user writes "+" or "*" in their program and later asks for the derivative, we apply the sum and product rules, and do not consider the question of domain validity. For floating point numbers, we try to perform some consistency checks using finite differences, but ultimately, leave this up to the user to verify whether their their domain is a valid one.

Shameless plug, but if you find this interesting, you can learn more about this in Chapter 3 of my M.S. thesis [8]. Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or would like to chat!

If a security clearance requirement suddenly makes it allowable it argues that it maybe isn't unethical, unless the argument is implicitly that it is ok to ask for unethical things when involving a security clearance?

I've personally witnessed scammers using people's trust in calculators being correct to cheat them.

It was at the Zambia-Zimbabwe border at Victoria Falls in 1999. We needed to change USD into Zimbabwe dollars and were approached by an informal money changer who ostentatiously did the calculation on his calculator in full view. We knew roughly what the exchange rate should be and confirmed that the money changer was using close to that on the calculator. However, the final result of the multiplication on the calculator was fraudulently low. I thought the result was "off" but given the relatively high exchange rate (this was pre-hyperinflation), by the time I'd done the math in my head he'd taken our USD and disappeared. Not a huge deal as we were only out by maybe tens of USD, and we had to grudgingly admit that it was a very effective scam.

Two stereotypes, each about a decade old. The rumors about the impending doom of freedom on MacOS is as old as Mac OS X. At this point, it's the slowest conspiracy in history.

People don't prefer MacOS because they are idiots who need "ease of use". There just is no other system developed with something approaching taste. Windows is for those people that put plastic covers over their furniture, ruining in the process of trying to protect it. Linux is for servers.

Curiosity: why do you want this in JSON?

If you already have explicit schemas in mind, why not use some packed schema-based representation that ends up being more compact?

Alternatively, what is stopping you from just adding a JSON Schema key to your JSON document? If you don't want to do this, what is stopping you from hard-defining a JSON schema when ingesting the string? It isn't like you want anyone in the world to randomly be able to give you a schema to validate against.
For generating hydrogen for use, total cost is most important. Cost reductions are just as important as energy reductions since they both bring total cost down. This is a potential cost reduction.
Let’s assume you’re at longitude 0 and noon happens for you at 12:00 (on average). If there were 24 timezones of exactly 15 degrees of longitude each there will be places at longitude +/- 7.4999 which are in your time zone where noon happens at 11:30 or 12:30 (on average) and never at 12:00. If you want to “fix” this problem you need to add timezones, not to mess wit the clock.

If you only care about your (latitude 0) time of noon which is given by that chart and you want to make it closer to 12:00 by splitting the year in “winter” and “summer” time (with only two changes in the year) you would have winter time from late-december to mid-june and summer time from mid-june to late-december and apply a time shift of about 10 or 15 minutes. This is just a guess, you may take that curve and optimize the timing and magnitude of the shift to approximate the curve with two constante segments. Or more that two, if you want.
I can't assuage your fears.

I tried it a year or so ago when I was first starting AWS serverless dev. IIRC it supports very few services. Most of our lambdas were behind API gateway and a Cognito authorizer but localstack didn't have a Cognito user pool. We botched something together with nginx to replace CloudFront for a while.

I don't remember quite what the last straw was, but there were big gaps in what we needed. Mind you, I keep finding I'm just one more AWS service away from what I need with the real thing do I'm not sure that game ever ends.
> Why do you think this is a two tier system?

The first sentence of site reads thusly:

If there is a database on one end and a client on the other, with no intervening system between them, that is the definition of a two-tiered system.
To me it seems really stupid, from an economical perspective, to fire a competent employee just because their religion, world-views, sexuality or whatever doesn't align with your own. I'd hope such employees can find good employment elsewhere. If that'd be true, I'd say eventually these issues should work themselves out in the long run, since a more diverse company might be able to outcompete a less diverse company.

I made no statement on causality. It's a simple statement on returns. You can't pay out high interest rates, or, like returns on anything, unless you're going to get improved productivity. If your productivity is declining (it probably is, considering demographics), you'll get fun times like negative interest rates. And dumbass speculative bubbles.

And low interest rates DEFINITELY do not cause speculative investment in R&D projects which could increase productivity. c.f. for example, the present! Compared to the high interest rate era of Bell Labs and moon shots; we have zilch for large scale investment in R&D for future productivity improvements.
Indeed. But we’ve got to ask - is the increasing effectiveness of the placebo effect correlated with a dumbing down of the population (eg the increasing prevalence of anti-scientific views and the mistrust of authorities)? If so, one could foresee a time when the underlying anti-scientific views are cemented by some kind of widespread “scandal”, at which point one might expect the placebo affect to start diminishing in efficacy (if it is related to a belief in modern medicine). So, long-term it may be a bad sign.

Not full knowledge. But you should know about every single dependency, know what they do and if they're from a trustworthy source. Being able to say with confidence that you aren't installing malware on your customers machines is the least you can do.

On the developer side there's more though, you should know what their release cycles are like, how they manage compatibility, how long they support older releases etc. You don't what your app stuck in a 3 month upgrade cycle just because a transitive dependency needed an update.

There's a reason dependencies are there own form of technical debt and need to be minimized.
