Yeah, I saw that as well. Regardless, I think my point stands -- I find it pretty alarming how quick the internet is to armchair-diagnose people with serious mental illness.

For example, a good friend of mine was internet-diagnosed with Schizophrenia. He believed it, and going down that rabbit hole screwed him up for a while.

Turns out that he and a long-term daily weed habit just weren't really a good mix (the paranoia led him to take it more seriously than he should have -- and the fact that "paranoia" was one of the supposed "signs" of Schizophrenia only made it more believable). He stopped smoking, and within a couple weeks saw just how ridiculous a turn things had taken.w

My point was simply that people are complex, and one single behavior isn't really enough to go around stating that a person might be X. A person can be inclined towards a certain work habit for loads of reasons.

The page printing of this website is somewhat broken on firefox. The two columns are neat I guess, but the subtitle overlaps the text, the top margin is unreasonably small, and decreasing scale (to save paper) makes right margin very big.

The source of this silly idea that vaccines are bad came when Andrew Wakefield published a study claiming the MMR vaccine caused autism. Alas, at the time he didn't disclose that he had a competing vaccine that he was unable to sell because the MMR vaccine was so effective.

However, people latched on to his study and now he were are 20 years latter with this faulty idea that vaccines are hurting people.

There's no need to as I mentioned that you're going to be hosting it somewhere during development anyway.
This is pure fantasy. GDP per capita in the U.S. is $60,000 annually, with a 40-hour work week. Cut that to 8 hours, and we're looking at $12,000 per year. That's about the level of Tunisia. How much "pointless consumption" can we eliminate so that we can live what an American would consider a comfortable life within $12,000 per year? Does that include things like heroic medical care for end-of-live issues, nursing care for the elderly, etc?

The Paradox of Money (2014)
"...without reasonable accommodation" suggests Amazon has moved beyond testing regulatory constraints, to openly challenging them. I'm someone who always reaches for Hanlon's Razor first, but I can't see how any business with more than a few hundred employees could be so brazenly ignorant and naive as to willfully assume the liability of literally quoting ADA's "reasonable accommodation" in a job ad as something they're intentionally planning to not care about complying with.
Meanwhile in the UK, nearly half of Conservative voters and a majority of the country think we should be aiming to decarbonise far faster[1]. Namely by 2030 and not kicked off into the long grass of 2050 as the government committed to. Committed to purely because they don't have to _do_ anything. Apparently even their voters aren't properly signed up to the denial hymn sheet.

Yellow vest protests were far more about inequality than a modest increase in fuel taxes. If government makes an equitable policy that spares the poorest in society the disproportionate impact that would naturally fall on them, there need be no riots - especially if they had a warm, well insulated house for the first time. The middle classes don't, generally speaking, riot.

So what luxuries are you expecting to be taken? Decarbonising doesn't mean deindustrialising. It means winding back some of the excesses of capitalism and consumerism. Done properly we should expect better made, longer lasting but sustainable products. Which I suppose should have the multinationals rioting if we take away planned obsolescence... :)

One of the biggest wins for liberty in the United States courts was Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925) which struck down the Oregon state 1922 Compulsory Education Act, a law targeting parochial schools. This anti-Catholic law was strongly backed by the Ku Klux Klan and Democrats.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierce_v._Society_of_Sisters

The article being discussed does not mention what they mean by funding. Does it equate tax exempt status to funding? Are Catholic schools directly funded by the Canadian government?

The article does equate Christian culture with all others and concludes "In a society that claims to treat everyone equally regardless of background, this is impossible to defend."

.. why does western civ have this ideal of "treating everyone equally"? What will happen to this ideal once you eliminate the foundations? Maybe that is the goal?

If you'd like to read a comprehensive if rather depressing look at the question of how politics responds to the challenges of limits and scarcity, I'd strongly recommend William Ophuls, particularly his original Ecology and the Politics of Scarcity:

https://www.worldcat.org/title/ecology-and-the-politics-of-s...

(That's the 1992 revised edition, original was published in
1977: https://www.worldcat.org/title/ecology-and-the-politics-of-s...)

That book was just the start of a life's work addressing precisely your question. The answer, as much as there is one, is rather much a comprehensive full-court offensive. Addressing inequality and past wrongs is absolutely a part of the problem, and one that's been with us since the start.

Other notable authors addressing this question and problem include Robert Wright, notable for his 2004 Massey Lecture series (Canada) "A Short History of Progress":

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/the-2004-cbc-massey-lectures-...

Also Joseph Tainter, The Collapse of Complex Societies (https://www.worldcat.org/title/collapse-of-complex-societies...)

And Jared Diamond, Collapse: How societies choose to fail or succeed (https://www.worldcat.org/title/collapse-how-societies-choose...)

All are intelligent, dilligent authors with extensive bibliographies for further reading, including both supporting evidence and counterarguments.

It's reading many of the so-called rebuttals or dismissals of such viewpoints which I've found particularly compelling support for the general arguments of collapse.

I'm not entirely sure who his current equivalents are, though Thomas Homer-Dixon is probably on that list:

I have to say that I feel bad for New Yorkers. I live in the middle of the country, but I work for a company on the lower east-side. I’m often in Manhattan, so I think I have a feel for what it’s like there and there is such a poverty of what a global city could be there. I’ve seen quite a bit of the world and dense Spanish urban centers are much better than Manhattan. Barcelona has created super blocks, which are these dense areas where absolutely no cars are allowed. The result is nothing short of amazing. The first time I saw it, I realized I had never seen anything like it before. There such an abundance of life and the levity in the air is palpable. “This is what it must have been like to live in an ancient city“ is often what I found myself thinking. Your really need to experience it before you die. It’s what human life should look like. New York ain’t it. Not even close.

It sounds a bit like pre-cloud business IT architecture. Put the servers somewhere on-site.

It is really hard to see much new here. 20 years ago you might put a Windows 2000 server in each restaurant... What's changed is we have better server management tools: ansible/puppet/docker/kube...

The reason we moved to the cloud was because the Internet gained massive capacity and there were economies of scale in huge datacenters.

What chick-fil-a is doing is'nt wrong, but feels more like the pendulum swinging than actually new tech.
In IEEE 754-1985 and IEEE 754-2008 this is not valid behavior. I have mostly worked on the 2008 revision, so I didn't know if 0 was commutative in the original standard. Thanks for making me look it up.

IEEE 754-2008

> Section 6.3 The sign bit

> When the sum of two operands with opposite signs (or the difference of two operands with like signs) is
exactly zero, the sign of that sum (or difference) shall be +0 in all rounding-direction attributes except
roundTowardNegative; under that attribute, the sign of an exact zero sum (or difference) shall be −0.
However, x + x = x − (−x) retains the same sign as x even when x is zero.

No quote for IEEE 754-1985 because I didn't want to type it out and it is mostly the same.

It seems like the parentheses could do a bit more work, instead of just being ignored. Suppose that at compile time, the language computes the expected stack size after each word? Then the close-parenthesis could be a compile-time assertion that the stack size matches the open paren, plus the number of arguments left on the stack by the previous word.
Would it work economically though? Are there enough farmers and demand for products to make it commercially viable in manhattan?
In a sister comment, I quoted IEEE 754-2008 Section 6.3 which shows that 0 is commutative in the newer standard. The older revision has similar language.

A few things that I've found helpful:

1. I start my day a couple hours later than typical for my organization. This both lets me work quieter hours and shaves time off my commute.

2. From 2 p.m. on is reserved as "Real, Actual Work" on my calendar.

3. I check email a few times a day. Any other time, Outlook is closed. Those who need me immediately can call my phone or visit my desk.

4. At least once a week, usually Friday, I work either as late as I can or until I reach a suitable milestone. The clock doesn't matter.

I'd offer a third option: Early stages of a product.

The hyper-productive antisocial back room whiz kid is perfect for an R&D role. They can launch off solo and come back a few weeks later with a working prototype to prove the viability of a new product line. Then, before they get bored and stop being productive, you send them off on another deep space mission to invent something else.

All the while, you have a team of less flashy but more dependable and cooperative engineers taking the prototypes and building sustainable systems and marketable products out of them.

But the hook's .so file still has to be loaded from filesystem, so it should be still detectable?

And even if "hook logic" runs on the GPU, the actual function calls still have plenty of CPU parts. Check out rootkit/kit.c -- it is just plain old LD_PRELOAD rootkit, with a ton of calls running on CPU. Workingmem detector should have no problems matching this code.

I really don't understand. We're told the scientists have a consensus and we must believe them. (I'm inclined to do so!) But at least the IPCC has projected changes that weren't so bad. Is there a new consensus? Were the scientists who were supposed to be right actually wrong? Who are we supposed to believe? This is not denialism. I’m firmly inclined to believe the IPCC consensus. But it’s disconcerting to see a new narrative where those same scientists are incorrect. It seems to amount to “panic even more than the scientific consensus warrants.” Maybe that’s true but it’s an odd argument.

> More likely, a separate United Nations report concluded, we are headed for warming of at least 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit. That will come with almost unimaginable damage to economies and ecosystems. Unfortunately, this dose of reality arrives more than 30 years after human-caused climate change became a mainstream issue.

5.4F is 3C. The cost of 3C change is projected to be up to 13% of GDP relative to keeping to 1.5C. See: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/23/hitting-.... Over the 30 year time horizon of the calculation, world GDP will grow by 140%. (Climate change will cost just 1/10 of total growth by that time. )
Sure regulation is the solution, and I think a very slow journey to regulation has started. Whether it will come soon enough or be adequate are open to question. We've known Google and FB have engaged in systematic overreach every single time there is data for the taking. From streetview harvesting WiFi, or taking photos over privacy fences through systemic use of dark patterns.

If I'm exaggerating it's from trying to make up a credible example off the cuff. When the Snowden revelations were coming thick and fast I remember several examples coming up around search stream and meta-data. Mostly terrifying as either could reveal in far more detail than actual content of messages what you appeared to be thinking in the moment. Tie that with medical and health data and any pretence of privacy falls.
To be a little less tongue-in-cheek it seems to me that it is less a problem of scarcity and more a problem of distribution. Food, for example, is this way. Land, by and large, is also.
So it’s niche.
It can be a better wage than the median somewhere, and still be inadequate.

You're forgetting that this is a satellite constellation- I'm not sure what the orbital parameters are offhand, but I'd divide that number by at least 4 (and maybe up to 20), based on number of satellites over the service area(s) at any given moment.

Last I saw, they were reconfiguring deployment plans to go for higher density constellation in the lower latitudes before worldwide coverage, so I'm not sure if this is even knowable at this point.
The big gap is management of the full dependency tree. With yarn I can get a package.lock which pretty well ensures I'll have the same exact version of everything, with no unexpected changes, every time I run yarn install. I get the same thing in the Rust world with Cargo.

In Python it's a mess. Some packages specify their deps in setup.py; some in a requirements file, which may or may not be read in by their setup.py. It's not rare to have to have multiple 'pip install' commands to get a working environment, especially when installing fairly boutique extensions to frameworks like Django.

There just isn't a holistic, opinionated approach to specifying dependencies, especially at a project level. Which leaves unexpected upgrades of dependencies (occasionally leading to regressions) as a reality for Python devs.

To be fair, he says in the article that his requirements are somewhat different from most Python developers, to wit:

* "I need to develop against multiple Python versions - various Python 3 versions (3.6, 3.7, 3.8, mostly), PyPy, and occasionally Python 2.7 (less and less often, thankfully)."

* "I work on many projects simultaneously, each with different sets of dependencies, so some sort of virtual environment or isolation is critical."

Ideally, zero. Of course in real life this will be non-zero, but I like to believe that with the huge bounty Google offers on chrome vulns, those bugs will be fixed before they could exploit me.

(Note that the original page says "Can snoop on cpu host memory via DMA" -- this only works within the process boundary via approved APIs. So basically no extra security risks, this is exactly the same thing that CPU-based LD_PRELOAD files can do already)
> barring JNI

Exactly. It's not Python's only problem, but far and away the most painful snags I've hit with packages is when they use C code, and thereby drag in the whole system. "I'll just `pip install` this- Oh, I need to install foo-dev? Okay, `apt-install foo-dev`... oh, that's in Ubuntu but not Debian? Well this is gonna be fun..." Now I trend a bit more exotic in my systems (NixOS, Termux, *BSD, ...) but if my Python were just Python it would just work so long as I have a working Python install; in practice that's rarely enough.
Better targeted products, they already know what people in the area of each store demand, so each store could have a different mix of products.
