Investment in the UK car industry has plumetted since the referendum was called.[1] When the current government came into power I imagined they would do whatever they could to rescue that situation. Now I'm wondering if they have come to the conclusion that it can't be saved. I couldn't imagine them making decisions like this otherwise.

I'm torn between these two viewpoints:

1. Organizations need to be flatter. Too much hierarchy leads to both inefficiency and politics.

2. You can't have more than 5-8 direct reports and hope to do each of them justice, in both day-to-day operations and career growth.
...but if it starts braking hard in 250ms that's still a very superhuman reaction time.
I should have read the quoted mail with more focus, the timeframe is actually in there and it's rather short.

> This might all sound pretty dark, but the good news is that nothing you do is really important. The universe will remain unperturbed no matter what actions you take (or don't)! So if you're stressing about how well you live, remember that you're merely chasing fictions in a framework that someone else cooked up.

I'm not really convinced by this type of reasoning. Things do matter if people care very deeply about them. If someone murdered someone close to you (to take an extreme example), would you still say that that is fine, because in the grand scheme nothing matters? You might say that you're an irrational human being, and that's why you care. But why should we take a definition of "meaningful" that is so disjoint for everyday human experience?

What would a hypothetical world look like in which life does have meaning, according to your definition? If no such world is even imaginable, then it isn't even clear what we are talking about.

Furthermore, I think some people use the supposed "meaninglessness" of life to justify passivity. If the universe is truly meaningless, then doing nothing is as meaningful as doing something traditionally considered meaningful.

Yet, people often base their behavior on their current emotional state. That is not the behavior of someone who believes in the complete meaninglessness of everything. Clearly, that person believes that his emotions matter and are a good guide to choose which actions to take. Playing Xbox on the couch or ruminating about the meaninglessness of life being good examples of this. Such actions are choices that are ultimately derived from value judgments.
Very interesting idea. But, wouldn't existing hashed be kept intact anyway.
If you know that it's a concatenation, couldn't you only look at the SHA1 part and completely bypass any other strong hash? On second thought probably not, because you might find any possible collision, that isn't a collition on all the other hash algorithms. If you bruteforce through a password list it would still apply though.
> There's poverty because there isn't enough income, and there's lack of opportunity because there isn't enough capital? Education isn't magic and cannot substitute for a lack of money

Why does it even matter where the money is today? Why can't they just provide their services over the Internet to get the money? They are doing this already as this very post suggests and should expand to other fields, less questionable fields in particular.

> it doesn't have the resource wealth of Nigeria, Angola or South Africa

Doesn't it? I suspect almost every country (in Africa especially) has a wealth of some resource, they just don't know it's there and don't have the technology to mine it. Perhaps the smart educated folks may discover it occasionally.
Nice design, look and feel. However I found it quite slow when clicking a job and the loading of the job detail page. I know you have the progress bar indicator at the top of the page, but it moves really slowly and it takes a while before the page even changes, so if I hadn't had noticed the progress bar, I would likely have thought it was a dead link button or the system was not responding.

EDIT: Another suggestion - when viewing the job detail screen, it would be nice if I could click on the 'tags' under the job description to see other jobs with the same tags too.

EDIT 2: Same with the job type (Full Time, Part Time etc.) and the Location. If these were links that opened a new list of matching jobs, that would be handy IMO.

Can confirm this. Tried to set up a new Twitter account for business use, got the phone number challenge but wasn't able to go any further because the number I wanted to use was "already in use" i.e. my own number I already stupidly associated with my personal twitter account.

To add insult to injury I've been suspended permanently because Twitter's "offence" AI can't distinguish between black humour and a direct physical threat. But that's another story.
Excellent news. I wish the EU would follow suit. Does anyone know how it is in the UK wrt heating with fossil fuels? Is there a ban on the horizon there too?

You are totally right about the "golden parachute".

The nice thing about being in upper management is that none of your decisions has any negative consequences for yourself and in the end you will just have more money and some more enemies who will probably not even attack you.

It is always about "vitamin b" because that is how certain networks like (financial) elites work.

I always wonder how average people try to defend the rich and argue that it is totally justified that they earn something like one year of salary in a month or even more.

Think about all the big issues we have and how we could tackle them with all the money that now is inherited and shoved around to make more money out of nothing just to be even wealthier.

It is just absurd to me and that people are actually kind of ok with this takes away most of the hope I have for our global future because if these people prevail it might as well look like the "hunger games" here some day.
If the law is so onerous that UC Berkeley can’t afford to follow it, what chance do small businesses have?

Just because you say the law is written clearly doesn’t mean the law is clear. In practice, it seems to be so vague and so selectively enforced as to be utterly unpredictable.

Or it could pay it from a tax imposed on businesses. But then collecting the tax from the businesses to then giving it back to them is just unnecessary paperwork on top of just having the businesses do it directly.

So, not strange at all, we already are, just not in a convoluted way.

Nietzsche was one of the philosophers that believed you could invent your own system of morals, and was opposed to traditional moral frameworks, especially religious frameworks, and especially especially Christian moral frameworks. A concept that today has such a remarkably poor track record, that there’s really no reason for it to be taken seriously anymore. But the way he categorized things is perfectly reasonable given the context of his writing. No religion truly describes a single monolithic belief system or morality. Every religion is made entirely of individuals who each have their own particular set of beliefs and morality. But we invent categories to group things that are similar together, and “traditional Christian morality” makes perfect sense to discuss as an alternative to “Nietzschean morality”.
Probably the same as anywhere else. Many people want to live in a limited area, house prices go up. People who can afford them buy them, which keeps house prices there.
>I always afraid of AMD because of their low investments into software that AMD systems won't be rock stable. Especially with Linux, where Intel commits a lot of code into kernel

AMD CPUs are used on servers so there is no reason they won't make all it's possible to have a stable system, are you referring to AMD GPUs? I read it takes up to 1 year after release until the graphics driver gets stable on Linux.

This doesn't work for collision resistance attacks. git commits aren't password hashes. Specifically, the attacker's goal in this case is to find different values a and b for which hash(a) = hash(b), rather than finding a value of m in h = hash(m) for known h.

real world efficacy to be lower than reported here due to improper mask sealing under normal use.

That problem affects all mask use.

I read a 2010 paper[0] this week which IIRC showed that normal mask types (pre-formed, soft-multilayered surgical, etc.) all had about 30% of the efficiency of N95 masks. For the N95 masks, they failed to get 95%, more like 90%, due to poor fit. A silicone pressure fit type is really important. No unixbeards allowed!

> "You can't breathe the air, the pressure of the atmosphere is a tiny fraction of what we have on Mount Everest"

Well, thank you professor science. An observation that my 8 year old nephew could have told me.

The benefit of colonizing mars is all of the ancillary technologies that come along with it. Reusable rockets will give us Starlink, Easier Space Travel and asteroid mining.

Making a habbitat on mars will force us to invest interplanetary internet protocols. It will force us to make better catalysis research for air, water, waste processing and synthesis.

Uninhabitability will force us to increase automation capabilities so robots can build the base structures before we arrive.

Going multiplanetary will give our species apocalypse redundancy.

I'm sure I only touched on 5% of the reality because my imagination is so limited, but anyone who's done a tiny amount of reading on the subject can see the insane benefits, including commercial opportunities that exist here.

But James Lovelock "wouldn't waste his fortune" on these endeavours - isn't it good we don't live in a world of pessimists like him who would hoard their future, secure in the knowledge that, when the planet finishing asteroid hits us, at least he can be vaporised with his pile of money, and it wouldn't have been "wasted"
Switched from intel to amd with the same concerns at the back of my mind.

Never had a single issue.
While I am incredibly stoked for AMD pushing the envelope, this should be a gigantic sign to Intel that their entire market is about to be commoditized by physics unless they put every single dollar they have into pushing the envelope (AND get extremely lucky in the breakthrough).

Without the advent of Quantum computers, solving P=NP for our computational benefit, and/or some other unworldly mathematics, the PC industry is pretty fucked in ~10-15 years save those who transition into services.

Is a significant part of git's typical profile spent computing hashes? I'm genuinely asking because I don't know the answer. I'd expect all the diffing and (potentially fuzzy) merging to be significantly more expensive operations, at least as far as big-O is concerned.
And yet this useless, feel good clickbait nonsense with zero content is featured on the frontpage...
All behavior is selfish. Each level is supported by the lower level. Upper class has a smaller support of semi-elites below them they must appease. Many things are zero-sum so most actions at this level take from the majority for the minority. Thus unethical behavior baked into hierarchy.
I have a 3700X that I use primarily for music production and it runs flawlessly. Prices, at least on NewEgg India, haven't budget even a cent in 4 months though.

Soundslice (https://www.soundslice.com/) — a website built around interactive/responsive sheet music, rendering the music entirely in client-side JS — doesn't use JavaScript frameworks or libraries.

I'm the developer of Soundslice and continue to be happy with the vanilla JS decision, 8+ years into the company. It means better performance, clearer code, smaller JS filesizes.

I gave a talk about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvOsegaN9Wk ("A framework author's case against frameworks") and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH5EtQge_Bg ("How I optimized my JavaScript sheetmusic rendering engine")
Not sure about Finland but my native Norway pops up in these kinds of discussions frequently as well. Moving to Norway is in fact relatively easy as long as you get a job which requires some kind of higher education or special skill. You cannot move to Norway just to flip burgers. But you can move to Norway as say a sushi chef or geologist. I would expect Finland as a fellow Nordic country to be similar.

The reason we are not overrun with people moving to Norway is simply that people don't actually know Norway is fairly easy to move to. I have spoken to many foreign professionals here and while most of them originally had positive attitudes to Norway, pretty much none of them had believed moving to Norway was even an option.

It was often entirely random reasons why they ended up in Norway, such as getting hired by a Norwegian company at a foreign branch.

To most people contemplating emigrating the only countries that exist in their heads are the US, Canada and Australia.

Also especially people from poorer countries who decide to emigrate are extremely ambitious. They want to make a lot of money and shoot for the stars. Nordic countries are not really a place for such people. Ambition and making lots of money is not central value in Nordic societies. Nordics is all about work-life balance, moderation etc.

While Norway e.g. is one of the worlds richest countries you will not find any Rolls Royce, Bentley's or 200m tall luxury hotels. The wealth is sort of hidden in child-care facilities, humane prisons and stuff that isn't very glitzy. If you want to show off that you made it, then you are in the wrong place if you aim for the Nordics ;-)
I got fired once they realized I had an interview with a certain company. My wife was best friends with the CEO’s assistant’s hairdresser (true story of bad luck).

They fired me because they knew they couldn’t afford to keep me and if I was courting these companies, they knew I would get an offer. Which was true.

I supposed you are advocating two distinct Merkle trees? Because otherwise the prefixes will change anyway.

But the only reason this would be attractive is because then people could keep using the existing prefixes to refer to the whole commit. But of course doing this would be insecure. So for this to make any sense at all, people would need to make good choices on when to use an insecure prefix and when to use the whole hash, because it's security relevant. This seems a bit doubtful to me.
I believe it's no more difficult then any other EU country. I was engaged to a Finn and I was accepted on those grounds, even though I didn't have work. When I got married, I could attend the immigrant integration course (maahanmuuttajakoulutus), which included an intensive language learning program.

I'm an EU citizen, and I believe EU citizens can live in Finland if they have employment.

I don't even bother reading papers that are politically charged these days if any at all.

There is no end to this kind of papers if you check and I am really tired of seeing the media spin up of these, too. Is exaggerating a claim to the point it makes it false or not verifying the papers before promoting "fake information"?

Here's why you need to stop doing x. It's bad for you, research confirms.

Why we are going to be extinct in the next 50 years and scientists can't figure it out.

This new material can change the way how processing works in a matter of few years, research shows (date - 2005)

Most AI researchers claim this and that (survey cut down to a single event with undergraduates and journalists mixed in.)

I would be curious if someone has any papers confirming that the number of shit papers has increased over time or has remained the same whilst being scrutinized more heavily.
For heating it makes the most sense to use gas and put subsidies into insulation.

In The Netherlands we are - for some boneheaded reason - killing gas and replacing it with burning wood. With the subsidy spent on that we could insulate every building in the country to a high level and have a massive war chest left over to further build out EV infrastructure.

It's still plausible that one can pull a trick like that to introduce malicious code into the repo, but improbable.
I've made it a point to look up any study mentioned in the media. In almost all cases, dramatic conclusions are drawn from sample sizes in the low xx digits.

> So how does their productivity compare to ours?

I don't know, the OECD doesn't have data apparently: https://data.oecd.org/lprdty/gdp-per-hour-worked.htm

My guess would be that it is catching up, but still much lower.

However, productivity per hour (in US dollars) is still much higher in the UK than e.g. Australia, the EU-28, the OECD or Canada. I'm not sure why this study took 2010 as a baseline though, it seems to be a bias towards how well countries copied with the financial crisis.
In Germany an agreement is binding regardless of whether it’s given written or verbal. In practice, an oral agreement is harder to prove of course, especially when it comes to the details of it. But that is still a separate issue.
