You are using the same tactic I described: State surveillance has the potential to turn us all into Nazi's, so state surveillance is inherently bad. How can I ever hope to support the good of state surveillance for national security when I have to defend the Stasi? I can't. You (God)win.

It is intellectually dishonest to pose the effort of governments to combat illegal immigration as a targeting of people based on race. It is a sensitivity trap that shuts down our rational faculties.

But deserving of coddling, because they happen to also share a protected variable? No.

Nor when we give licences and large vans/trucks to people who want to crash them. It's about managing risk and historically most hijackings have been by passengers and there is no significant loss to securing it with passenger jets having two pilots (ie, if one passes out), its win-win.

Meanwhile the vast majority of what the TSA and a significant-enough chunk of what security agencies do is pure theater, in exchange for a significant headaches and loss of privacy/dignity/time/etc of citizens who fund and technically support such organizations - and everyone else visiting the country as it deters plenty of tourism and business travel.

I believe this is about dark matter.

I found this news article that discusses an article from the same researchers: https://bigthink.com/surprising-science/fifth-force-nature

Abridged from the article: "The mysterious X17 subatomic particle is indicative of a fifth force of nature. Four fundamental forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. The discovery of a fifth force of nature could help explain the mystery of dark matter, which is proposed to make up around 85 percent of the universe's mass."
iirc, no one has been able to replicate this group’s results. The “X17 particle” wiki page has a good review.
> An actual high yield savings account right now gives around 2% nominal interest which is less than inflation.

The inflation rate in 2019 was 1.76% [1]

> The economist chart of house prices from the article certainly seems to show them outpacing inflation recently. Looking at an index since 1900 is a bit misleading since public policy changed dramatically in the 1950s-70s to constrict supply and juice demand.

Ok, then look at it from 1970... The results are even worse

For this kind of linear algebra, you're going to have a different routine for a sparse matrix (dcoomm) or a symmetric one (dsymm) or a triangular one (dtrmm) or symmetric banded matrix vector product (dsbmv) or whatever. Hopefully those are separate functions from your dense one (dgemm), which is what I'm talking about. You'll also have a different function for CUDA (which exists in cuBLAS) than for multi-core (in ScaLAPACK? PLASMA?) than for single-CPU (in BLAS), which is what I'm talking about. General matrix multiply in this sense isn't "all the different matrix multiplies." It's a function with a very specific purpose, and yeah you don't really need to revisit it every decade.

Either way, it's not that much horror: http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.1.1/html/dgemm.f.html

I did this a couple of months back. I realized that WordPress adds a lot of overhead and a pretty large attack surface, and the only benefit it was giving me was a medium amount of convenience.

The price of assets is directly related to interest rates. This relationship is obvious if you think about it. People borrow money cheaply, the more money that's available, the more money people have to bid up prices of assets. The way interest rates are (including negative interest rates across the globe) I doubt there will be a curb anytime in the future. The biggest unknown IMO is related to the status quo. Perhaps people will value freedom more than security and therefore won't chase those housing values.

Imagine you just got laid off. You apply for unemployment, update your resume, load up Indeed, type your biggest skill into the search bar, and apply to every company in your area that you even remotely think you may be qualified for.

Palantir bites. In fact, Palantir is the first one to bite. You make it through the interview process and get an honest-to-goodness offer, few other companies are talking to you, and of those few, they're just now doing their initial phone screen. What do you do: take the offer or see if one of those phone screens pans out? Oh, and in most states if you decline a job offer, you lose your unemployment. If you decide to gamble and wait, you're gambling that you'll get an offer from someone else before rent comes due. Are you really willing to take that risk?

Now let's throw in another twist: you've got a family. And let's even be generous here and say you've got a few other leads at or very close to the offer stage, so it's not like you're going to end up on the streets for nonpayment of rent. But all of your other leads pay so much less that your children's lives will be noticeably affected. You may not like what Palantir does... but are you willing to tell your kids that Christmas is cancelled and you have to move to a much smaller house in a different part of town thus ripping them away from all their friends at school?

Choosing not to vote is an action - it's not a vote, and, to be honest, it's a rather stupid action if you have the freedom to choose a different action.

Yea America is broken, the two party system is broken - so start voting strategically for third parties that actually represent plans to fix the system - no your candidate won't be elected but you'll both pressure existing candidates and make new candidates eligible that endorse the voting reform you want to see.

I think, in this current age, we've actually got some decent mainstream contenders with solid voting reform plans and maybe, if no one who endorses your other values endorses those plans, then you should vote third party to encourage them to adopt them as well.

Also, bear in mind that voting for a third party is essentially not expressing your opinion when it comes to policy (assuming there is a candidate that aligns with your value) so this advice is pretty much solely aimed at those who would choose not to vote - also don't vote for Mickey Mouse, it's possibly the least effective way to protect the system because nobody cares about those votes.
Even more challenging if the log destination is external, and if the logging system is an entirely independent system, even potentially provided by a third party. Makes this hard to do.

My understanding of the abstract is simply that they had previously postulated a new particle of a particular mass to explain a prior set of data, and that a new set of data from a different experiment gives evidence a missing particle with a similar mass.

that's nice and all. But if you collide with one of these new spy machines, you'll figure out why it's not the greatest idea to prefer old cars when you can afford newer cars. Safety is not something it's worth being a luddite for. I agree with you, even as a software engineer, I find it disgusting the amount of computing power my Honda has for that matter. However, if I run off the road, I would rather be in my current Honda than in my previous Honda (pre 2000).

I think the 2010-2012 strike a sweet spot for what you're saying. Reasonable safety, not a lot of software.

> All else being equal, getting places faster is better.

> The average public transit commute in most cities is twice as long as the average driving commute: https://abc7news.com/5289025

The average public transit system in the US is woefully inadequate compared to those in other developed countries, so it's hardly fair to pin this on public transit in general.

The whole point of the discussion around the future of transportation is to align the individual incentive to get some place faster and cheaper with the broader societal goals of affordability, access, and decongestion. Better mass transit is the probably best option we have for that so far. Continuing to grow the individual car based commute likely isn't, definitely not in our ever-growing and increasingly congested metropolises.

Even if today the best solution for a lot of people is to get in a personal car doesn't mean that we can't build better transport systems in the future. This is about making improvements, not about attachment to the currently dominant way of getting from point A to point B.

Getting more mass transit will not be easy - the barriers are as much cultural as they are geospatial - but let's not dismiss a solution that demonstrably works elsewhere.

Not to overdramatize, but this is exactly what you'd start looking for as the begin of the end for US dominance internationally.

Tracking is not automatically unethical. People could choose to do it for fun with their friends. They could enable it just on campus. People can be tracked by anonymous parties via their cell phones, anyway, so deliberate sharing for fun may not seem so bad.

Not that I see the point of the particular project, but I also think not every possible kind of fun should be illegal because of "privacy".

A better example would perhaps be Pokemon Go. Lots of people enjoy playing that game. The question is how does Niantic use the data, but a game like that would not automatically have to exploit the data.

The evil information that can be extracted from the location data may also be exaggerated.

Listen to your own conscience. In fact, that's enough.
The point is, there's likely a certain density at which it gets progressively more green to live in. If you're treating all cities equally, there's hardly a point in distinguishing between cities and small towns. There's not much of a difference between Omaha, Nebraska and Podunk, Kentucky. There's a gigantic difference between Manhattan and Yonkers.

I wouldn't be surprised if Dallas is "less green" than small towns in Italy, even adjusting for income/wealth. I would be surprised if the same is true when you compare to inner Tokyo (Shibuya).

One thing that would be interesting to know -- high rises can use a ton of energy to heat & cool. And the taller they get, a significant portion of the building is just stairs and elevators. I wouldn't be surprised if density gets "less green" at a certain maximum. Manhattan & Shibuya could very well be past that point.

I'll update the tldr with two quotes

> It is a quotation that defends the authority of a legislature to govern in the interests of collective security. It means, in context, not quite the opposite of what it's almost always quoted as saying but much closer to the opposite than to the thing that people think it means.

> And maybe it doesn't matter so much what Franklin was actually trying to say because the quotation means so much to us in terms of the tension between government power and individual liberties. But I do think it is worth remembering what he was actually trying to say because the actual context is much more sensitive to the problems of real governance than the flip quotation's use is, often.

I think the second quote is important, because sayings change over time and the meaning they hold changes too. That is the progression of language.
