> Whether a can is recycled by curbside pickup or by bringing it to a redemption center probably doesn't really matter environmentally.

In Denmark, only the plastic and metal collected by returned deposits is considered clean enough for reuse as food packaging.

Knowing this, I will give my empty bottles to the people roaming the streets rather than put them in the recycling bin. (I rarely have enough for me to think it's worth returning them myself.)

So uhm, this piece could have been written by a 16-year-old trying to move his brain for the first time. That it comes from a [billionaire founder of a private equity firm with a large platform], somebody who holds a number of smart positions on other topics, to me is a signal that such person [is engaged in an intentional effort to influence public opinion].

The best argument for Marxism isn't the USSR - it's China. They've actually managed to turn into a modern, mostly-developed country, though the process is most likely far from complete. The USSR was a dismal failure by comparison.

BTW, they're even launching their own space satelites, men in space, moon probes and whatnot lately.

Banal masturbatory liberalism: a greater enemy than authoritarianism. “Look upon my works, you lesser men. I sit atop my perch, passing judgment on all those who pursue their beliefs with any passion. Righteousness I confidently disdain, ridicule all who act upon their beliefs, no matter how scientific or otherwise demonstrable they may be in their truthfulness. I am uninterested in Truth, and Justice in all her forms can be raped out back for all I care.

“No, the most important thing — more than reproducibility, an understanding of history, or political science — is to refrain from excitement, and to believe myself and those like me to be superior to those who succumb to passions. The child in Asia working 14 hour days to make shirts? They are not able to see clearly. The mother who had her children ripped from her arms at the Texas border? Moderation is the best remedy. The firefighters in Australia fighting apocalyptic infernos, uncompensated and unrespected by their Prime Minister? Why, they are just too close to the situation.”

This is the most infuriating thing I have ever read. PG suffers from never having had a gun held to his head, either literally or figuratively, and believes that this makes him more worthy of being listened to, rather than less.

The privileged always think so.

So, PG: go fuck yourself. Tell us the benefits of moderation when hospitals charge us into bankruptcy for procedures others in the world receive for tens of thousands of dollars less. Tell me how moderation helps the young black man who was murdered by a cop for no reason whatsoever. Tell me how moderation helps the pregnant mother of three who is prevented from seeking an abortion. Tell me how moderation will save humanity from the extinction level event that is climate change.

Fuck you, you capitalist piece of shit. You sit atop your economic pile, and think that gives you special insights into the sufferings and tribulations of humanity. But we see. All you are doing is propagating the system that has allowed you to maintain that perch, and calling anyone who challenges it an extremist. It is what the capitalist class has always done, and what they will always do.

C has aged better than Java though. While Java still pretty much expects that a memory access is cheap relative to CPU performance like in the mid-90's, at least C gives you enough control over memory layout to tweak the program for the growing CPU/memory performance gap with some minor changes.

In Java and other high-level languages which hide memory management, you're almost entirely at the mercy of the VM.

IMHO "complete control over memory layout and allocation" is what separates a low-level language from a high-level language now, not how close the language-level instructions are to the machine-level instructions.
> Intentional moderates are similar to those on the far left and the far right in that their opinions are, in a sense, not their own. The defining quality of an ideologue, whether on the left or the right, is to acquire one's opinions in bulk.

Well, no, not at all. People on the left and on the right tend to have a worldview and attitude that is the foundation of their stances on issues. It is not a coincidence that support for welfare spending, tolerance of theft, illegal immigration, fat acceptance, and decrying of objective standards in education all come from the same side.

> Give a proof that under all circumstances and wind conditions, lowering your airplane’s flaps by 5 degrees will help you land safely.

My passing familiarity with aerodynamics and control theory suggests that you could derive a multidimentional shell in parameter space (of wind, temperature, airspeed and other conditions), to form an envelope within which the plane will behave predictably, so that you can prove whether lowering flaps by 5 degrees at a particular point will help you land safely. Accounting for model uncertainty, that envelope would likely be tighter than it could be if we knew our physics better, but that's still far better than a black box ML model that doesn't give you guarantees that similar inputs will lead to similar outputs (there's a mathematical formalism to this whose name escapes me now).

>Excel models can be deceptively inviting of replacement ideas.

In my mind that's actually what is the root at any talk of "Why isn't there an open source alternative for X amazing program?"

As a wiser person than me once said, "It's easy to imagine so I imagine it's easy." Deceptively simple operations in things that have a long legacy of supremacy can just be near impossible to clone even if you can churn out a POC that looks reasonable in 20 minutes. That trap is a big hill a lot of us die on. At one point in my life I swore off ever doing ETL, and now I do it for a living. Seems like that's actually the world now. Sheesh. With MS embracing Python for big data, maybe the next big thing is just what it's always been... Excel.
>I work 90% remote at the moment, and the only thing stopping me from moving to a smaller town is the fear of not having a community or friends nearby.

OTOH, you can have more community and more friends nearby in a smaller town -- and actually get to see them and do things with them.

But you need to take the time to make friends with those people. Still I know several people who moved to a small town, small island even, and made great friends with the local community, even people from an entirely different country. YMMV.

As a British former moderate conservative who's abandoned the party, though in truth I feel the party has abandoned me, I see a UK conservative party that has followed a very, very similar transition. Moderate conservatism has just been kicked out of the party. It's now a radical ideology captured by libertarian think tanks in American image -- and several of them funded by the US. The conservative party is now the ERG party or Way Forward party.

There is no space in the party for a Dominic Raab, Ken Clarke or Michael Heseltine, or One Nation policies -- once the bastion and bedrock of post-war conservatism, or even being in favour of a mild exit deal with the EU. Just dogmatic pursuit of blind, disproven policies for the benefit of a tiny minority such as the joke of austerity, closure and gutting of services many former Conservatives actually built and developed in former decades. For all her dogma on the Poll Tax, Thatcher could listen and understood the scientific advice, privatisation of many services that were eventually sold off were, to her, beyond the pale. She had her limits too, she did not and could not understand society, and people within it.

Thatcher's first set of ministers contained Whitelaw, Lord Carrington -- possibly the last high ranking UK politician of any party with an innate sense of ethics and standards, Heseltine, Pym, Prior and many others I forget, who wouldn't be welcome in today's party, let alone get a ministry. Plenty to bring some balance to cabinet, to moderate the extremism of the mad monk who invented Thatcherism -- Keith Joseph. Of course Joseph was the creator of one of those first extreme libertarian think tanks, the Institute of Policy Studies.

One Nation Conservatism, and moderate conservatism is dead. There's a radical party that uses the same name. They even adopted a bunch of US Republican voter suppression tactics in this election, page 48 of the manifesto. Promoting the suppression of democracy as policy aim! Gerrymandering constituency boundaries, picture ID to vote in a country that requires no ID -- knowing full well that hits the poor and minorities hardest (Who might well not be inclined to vote Tory), politicising the Judiciary. No, the Conservative party of yore no longer exists.

Before long we'll be back to buying votes.
We may need to reconsider what is austerity also, is living without a pet austerity? is washing ourselves with a soap bar instead of a multitude of cosmetic products and stuff austerity? is eating local legumes/fruits austerity? is using a bike to commute or go shopping austerity? etc..

These are all small splinter parties, aside from the right-populist FPÖ who was recently in the government coalition in Austria and has 60000 members.
Seems about right. I did a self test on myself, leaving phone at home for the work whole week. No other restrictions, this worked great. It had the benefit of still using phone whenever I needed it, not missing interaction but having much more concentration while doing work related tasks and forced reasonable amount of self reflection time while in transit.

For permanent basis I would request work dumb-phone from employer, that will stay on my office desk.

Other than that, a lot of anxety related to phone got removed once the phone is on permanent silent, all unknown numbers are blocked silently, notifications are limited. Phone is for people who I want to interact when I can.

> Disney+ has grabbed 24 million users in the U.S. since its November launch, according to a new report from the analytics firm Cowen & Co. This figure topped some early Wall Street estimates, but does include people who got the service for free through Verizon’s VZ offerings. Still, Cowen reported that Netflix lost 1.1 million subscribers, who dropped the service to join to Disney+ during this stretch.

By contrast, Netflix has 60 million US subscribers. HBO Now has 9 million US subscribers, but their cable service overall has over 50 million. 24 million users is an incredible growth rate for Disney's service, which has only existed since November 12.

>the far right and far left are roughly equally wrong.

I don't think you can reduce political arguments to who is "right" and who is "wrong". Politics and moral questions are not mathematical problems. We fundamentally don't all agree on what the final outcome (of a society, of life) should be. Maybe 99% of us can agree with something like "happiness" or "peace", but those are way too vague and the devil's in the details.

Great example of this going around in the British press today: https://twitter.com/alexvtunzelmann/status/12103404251244584...

The small child at the top with the horn and red jacket is framed as Good, despite embarking on an illegal foxhunt at the end of which a fox will be killed with dogs. The "lawyer killing a fox with a baseball bat after it attacked his chickens" story immediately below is framed as Bad.

As the tweet says, you have to know the team loyalties for this framing to make any sense.

IMO, in the US the "coservative" movement is misnamed. It seeks not to conserve, but make radical change to both government (shrink it significantly) and culture (change mainstream values, cultural output). They're trying to push for extraordinary change and are willing to take extraordinary measures to get there.

Ironically, the closest thing we have to "true" conservatives here are self-fashioned centrists, who generally are interested in preserving the status quo, making small changes in one direction or another depending on how society is going, being generally vigilant against too much change.
The issue here is that you shouldn't need to interface with C, unless you need to talk to some C Code. You absolutely shouldn't have to interface with C to talk to the kernel.

I come at this from a Linux perspective, but to me the user/kernel interface (sys calls etc.) should be the well defined abstraction boundary. The C library is a useful api making that easy to use, but to dictate that people can only make sys calls through C is silly and ends up with these sort of problems.
In retrospect, any book can read as a Nostradamus book.

The Ukraine situation was a huge win for the US and a defeat for Russia. A whole generation of Ukrainians will now be hostile to Russia. That was not in the book.
Here is something else: The interface was "responsive". And I don't mean the responsive designs we have today for HTML but that when you click a button, you get a "response" very fast from the monitor.

Now, with these new interfaces and stuff, most of them are so lag-y that you can notice them with your eyes. It's very frustrating.

I tried Bisq a couple days ago. The application was apparently made with Electron and HTML/JS. First, it used around 4.1Gb of memory. The interface was not responsive and then it crushed.

I'm using a 16Gb/i7 2018 MacBook Pro and there is lags for most of the buttons in the Finder application.

I don't have kids myself, but based on the 2-4 year olds in my family I would say that the logical reasoning part would be the challenging bit, not the counting of the solutions. I agree of course that marking and counting is strictly more work than marking only, but I disagree that the counting bit is somehow essential to this game.
Eventually this ends up with a million people dead and everyone saying "well that was probably bad, maybe we should have tried to prevent that".

Just because we cannot guarantee certainty or outcomes doesn't absolve us from the moral responsibility to try.
>but that's still far better than a black box ML model that doesn't give you guarantees that similar inputs will lead to similar outputs (there's a mathematical formalism to this whose name escapes me now).

You might be thinking of the K-lipschitz-smoothness or K-lipschitz-continuity of a model for a given norm, i.e. $\Vert f(x)-f(y)\Vert \leq K \Vert x-y\Vert$. A guarantee that K is smaller or equal a certain value is called a Lipschitz certificate . We can by now give this type of guarantee in balls around the training data (coming out of Adversarial example research), but with some limitations and generalization of Lipschitz certificates to test data and/or other norms is pretty bad in general.

I personally think that the term "black box ML model" needs to die with respect to neural networks, the theory work being done has pried open that box sufficiently by now that we can start reasoning about them somewhat. People just generally don't like the answers because it unveils limitations or challenges
In case you didn't read the top comment, the redefining was in the text and quite literal, not something that had to be supposed or inferred:

I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of scenarios you are securing against.

The recovery code, just like the hardware 2fa, does not work unless you know the password. So you want to secure against people that live with you, know your password and from whom you cannot hide anything anywhere?

The printout is the size of a business card. You could put it in your Bible as a booksign an nobody would find them. Or if you want you could rot13 them or something basic so they can't be used as-is.

It feels a bit like that remake of Oldboy. It's so normalized in aesthetics and thinking it misses the real point. I think it is safe bet by netflix to have some fantasy show. If they went all in with the slavic culture and cynicism it would probably be much more interesting but not a crowdpleaser.
Strangely the show seems to follow the book narrative almost too much. It seems confusing for newcommers (i guess again being safe to not make bookfans angry or just lazy)?

Sometimes, things are just things. Folks can have high cholesterol with a healthy diet, for example. This is because diet is only part of the picture and a partial method of getting cholesterol. You might just be someone that produces too much (or too little).

Same with blood pressure, for example. You might just have it. or a medicine or stress might be to blame. And with things like vitamin D - you might not ever make enough to be healthy.

Fasting might put you in the hospital! I know a relatively young dude that tried it for religious reasons and wound up hospitalized. He's in his early 30's now, but that was years ago. Some folks cannot tolerate going such periods without eating (diabetics, for instance): They aren't really seeing benefits in blood work.

These aren't really outliers either, but more a reminder that there is variation in humans and we can't make such blanket statements for things like diet. At least not with our current information, doubly so when we consider how much of our research has been tainted by food lobbying and other interests in the last 100 years.
