>Sorry if I gave the impression that any job that enjoys psychic income would pay less than any other job — certainly this is not true.

That's not the impression you gave. You gave the impression that garbage collectors make more than teachers.

>This is widely cited as the reason that teachers earn less than other professions, and why garbage collectors earn more

Teachers < other professions < garbage collectors

I get now that you meant to say was

Teachers < similar professions to teachers

Garbage collectors > similar professions to garbage collectors

I've heard many arguments that teacher make less than X profession, so the former wasn't an unreasonable interpretation given the phrasing.

Knowing what you meant to say. I don't think garbage collector pay is good supporting evidence for psychic income. Garbage collector pays well because it is a physically unpleasant job. What's an example of a substitute job that is similarly physically unpleasant that pays less because people find it fulfilling?

I do not doubt that naive great circle shortest path might fall apart in pathological cases, but I have difficulty understanding why that would be the case. And the article does nothing to explain why this seemingly obvious solution wouldn't work, your comment already was more enlightening.
I'd like to see the proof of that. Maybe they are just confronted with armed, trigger happy criminals every day and therefore have to answer with guns, too.

And what are you saying, without white people, there would be no need for police? PoC would just get by, no crime whatsoever? That seems unlikely to me.
There are a few reasons why the investment is flowing.

1) New enabling technologies, including high temperature superconducting tape, algorithms for plasma control and diagnostics which take advantage of new hardware (GPUs), and advanced manufacturing techniques are now available.

2) Optimism that private companies can synthesize the past 70 years of plasma physics research with these enabling technologies to develop transformative approaches to fusion.

I'd like to point out that having 2FA backup codes in your password manager means that if it gets compromised your security level is zero. It's called second factor authentication (2FA) for a reason, it should not be kept with your other secrets (e.g. password).

I print them out and keep them in the safe. I have 2-3 codes for each of my most important accounts in my wallet, with unrevealing names (nothing that anyone but me would associate with a certain account).
+1 to all this. Android needs to take a deep breath that might need a couple of annual releases. Fix native code experience, fix the core APIs. Fix the things that are going to be around for as long as Android exists and fix them for good. The issue is the phone is just evolving too quickly. Requirements are aggressively being pushed from both the OEM side and 3P app side.

Yeah I mean if you throw an aftermarket exhaust on them they can get pretty loud. Mine's just got the stock exhaust on it though. It's pretty tame.

FWIW, I don't think it really does to treat his opinions on typing as a blanket, universal, prescriptive statement that one can or should agree or disagree with according to one's own blanket, universal, prescriptive position. He generally doesn't come out and say this explicitly, but, in his talks, he's always speaking to a certain audience, about a certain class of problems.

You couldn't come up with a better pair of languages than Clojure and Rust for illustrating this sort of thing. I like them both (as far as my extremely limited experience in each will allow, anyway). But, if a language like Clojure is a candidate for the thing I'm working on, then I would never have dreamed of picking a language like Rust. And vice versa.

What counts? I'm reading that this is resume-blind:

>Fast-tracking means that you bypass resume screens, scheduling emails, and recruiter calls, and go straight to the technical interview (which, by the way, is still anonymous1) at companies of your choice. Because we use interview data, not resumes, our candidates end up getting hired consistently by companies like Facebook...

but I definitely remember all or most of them asking about my resume, at least at the onsite.

(FWIW, interviewed two years ago, 8/9 for passing technical screens on interviewing.io, 0/8 for onsite.)

I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on the American Revolution.
I'm not sure if he was not so much sympathetic to communism as skeptical of capitalism. At least that's the impression I got from reading his books. He's not a guy who was too concerned with money and didn't appear to have a high regard for people who do. He was much more interested in having experiences. The top-down government model of communism wouldn't be a fit for him either, he was much too free wheeling for that. Anarchism would be a bit closer but almost certainly too radical for someone not that concerned with politics. Libertarianism might have been the best fit, but only the on-paper kind, not the real life kind.
It seems that rejecting all of the most popular runtimes in the world (JVM, JS, CLR) is an odd thing to have a grudge about.

Not sure how to get from being gassed by the police to looting shops, though.

I haven't seen that footage, but of course I have heard of cases of violence against protesters. Doesn't really prove a deliberate approach to me. Maybe some police officers are also just human and get angry when people hurl stones at them and spit at them. If it's an excuse for the protesters, why not for the police. Sure, you'd hope they'd be trained in restraint, but at the end of the day, they are humans.

Also some footage may not tell the whole story. And maybe those cops were legitimately spooked by the umbrella. Better safe than sorry. I can't really blame them, wouldn't want to do their job.

In general, I think it would be wise not to provoke the police (or people with guns in general), don't wave around with objects that could be mistaken for guns, stuff like that? They should teach that in US schools, but every action movie teaches it, too. There is always that scene where a suspect reaches for their ID and then pauses because he realizes police might think he reaches for a weapon.

I recently listened to Not Cool episode on geoengineering [1]. Two important points that I learned about:

- Question over who holds the dial (Russia's ok with some warming, India not so much) can easily lead to nuclear war.

- Just telling people "we're considering pumping atmosphere with a gas that causes acid rains in order to cool the planet" makes them reevaluate how serious of a problem climate change is.

Sudden stops are not the majority of my stops nor do I suspect that is the case with delivery trucks. In sudden stops, I care more about immediate safety and less about energy recovery, anyway. I would be very surprised if the battery is not soaking up most of the energy under normal conditions.

Good point about tourism amongst clean zones. There will also be less domestic money that leaks out to foreign tourism: much will be spent domestically instead. Tourism is mostly a wash.

The bigger loss will likely be from whatever business/scientific travel is truly necessary. If that gets harder you may see some long run economic harm.

As for China, not obvious they have a lower fatality rate? Their official stats show a 5% CFR.

Singapore and Qatar have their cases amongst the mostly young migrant workers, which should have a much lower fatality rate due to age. I’m skeptical that any countries have a much less lethal strain. Unless we see nursing homes with widespread infections but few deaths.

And Hy does the same thing but with Python.

I think, though, that the things that Clojure gets right go way beyond just the JVM, though. Clojure's approach to nil punning, for example, is really well thought out.

It works approximately over small distances, though (such as the New Zealand example). Going down the spherical coordinates rabbit hole, so that for example you could find the midpoint on a flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo, would detract from the point of the post.
> I'm actually running a service that does lighthouse checks (amongst other things) so nice to see more people focussing on making things faster. You can see the report for your site here, there are some minor issues it found:

Thanks! I'm especially impressed with the spelling check. It works even better than Sublime Text's builtin spell-checker :)

The layout issue seem to be not supporting 320w viewports: it's intentional (analytics, etc.). It would be nice, though, if the tool was able to show something like the amount of users who still use certain screen sizes.

The broken link issue looks like a 302 redirect which isn't a broken link.

> This looks quite impressive, how does it work with dynamic (per user) content?

It should work completely transparently. We only render text/html content and like everything else, its keys include cookies so if you send cookies with user-specific content everything should be just fine.

> If I have such a vue site for example, do I have to modify anything to get it to work?

You shouldn't need to do anything. We want the whole process to be:

* Sign up
* Add your site
* Point your DNS at our servers
* Forget about it

Of-course you can add page-specific rules or use the (somewhat hidden) API, but everything apart from the the caching and image optimizations are turned off by default for normal users. Search engines and other bots like social networks get a static version of every page requested by default.

> The pricing mentions unlimited bandwidth, but limited requests. what counts as a request?

A request is any request that hits our servers (html, scripts, images, api requests). Of-course, we also do things like changing src urls where we can to include our own content-hash, so we can tell the browser to cache it for a long time which reduces the number of requests even if your caching headers are set up perfectly.
SpaceX is making human space travel a routine form of commerce
One of the big human problems in social science is that people are VERY happy to make explanatory narratives instantaneously on hearing a result... Which makes most results seem 'obvious' once reported.

One trick to circumvent this is to report the OPPOSITE conclusion first, and then say, 'actually, it was the opposite' after the listener says 'well, duh.'

In our own reading, it can be helpful to invert the conclusion and ask how surprising that would seem...

In reality, we don't know until we test... We have a lot of stories and biases that we carry all over the place, some are useful, most are shorthand, and many will lead us to wrong conclusions.
Exactly this. Imagine you are trying to build some kind of camera app that involves layering on effects or filters. You've got to have fine grain control over all the camera sensors, the gpus for rendering and compute, and potentially neural accelerators for some inferencing. How do you begin to do this on Android? Vulkan itself is hard enough. Now try adding Android NN API, and Camera 1/2/X with it's image processors. Now make it work across more than a single OEM hardware device. None of this is as simple as iOS side with a clean API that works together across GPU, NN and camera, in native code.
Where you would make a difference, at least in Europe, is an integrated multi-lingual (and multi-currency) feature. One where you can translate objects (h1, text, message) instead of creating a copy of some page. None of your competitors (which are many) get this right.
I do wonder if drone delivery will take off (heh). A lot has been said about the disadvantages, but one also has to also wonder about the advantages.

There's a point at which things are "good enough", and small improvements aren't really worth the costs. How much time would using drones for the last couple kilometers save? A few hours? Local delivery trucks tend to make rounds every day, so it really does seem like the maximum amount of time drone delivery could save is one day.

Will the cost of operating this (not only monetary, but also organizational, and in terms of noise pollution, drone repair, the occasional package/drone lost, etc) be worth the whole one day faster delivery to customers?

This, especially considering drones can't deliver everything, so trucks would have to keep operating. Truck's are large— economically what makes sense is to have them full of packages and with a whole-day schedule. Would drone usage offset enough deliveries to cut a few truck routes? Would they be enough to make it all worth?

A lot of questions in the air (heh).

I think the way my Bolt does regen braking in 'single pedal driving' mode is the way to do delivery trucks. In that mode you almost never use the brakes, it uses regen back-pressure from the motors to stop you. As you let off the accelerator it slows you down. The more you let off, the faster you slow down. If you're stop-starting down the street, I think you'd capture back quite a bit of the power from the little bit of accelerating you're doing between mailboxes or buildings.
That sounds complex. That's fine for large operations or operations with deep technical talent, but what about the vast majority of people who have less expertise and less time/resources to deploy complex configurations?

Also what about the vast, vast number of cases where you want to address private backplane networks and do things like "ping 10.0.0.2"? People still largely use V4 there even if they have V6 because V6 is too inconvenient.

DNS fixes this problem on connected, configured systems when everything is working property. It does not fix the problem when there are issues or when things are being set up, developed with, debugged, etc.

So can the SU-25, it has a laser pointer in the nose (ignore if you mean former Soviet bloc by "our"). My point is that a lot of US aircraft use TV/IR targeting frequently, whereas Russian ones don't have that capability except on the higher-end bombers/fighter-bombers (e.g. SU-34, and it's still rarely used with TV/IR guidance). I don't understand if this is a cost, tech, or reliability issue.

Furthermore, self-designation is useless when an aircraft is doing close air-support and can't tell apart friendlies from enemies, which is an extremely common scenario.
Fellow Canadian, living in California but worked in Canada beforehand. There's still plenty of companies who don't ask leetcode style questions. However, none of them pay even close to what the FAANG companies pay in my experience. You can find offers for similar base salaries (there's startups in LA paying 180k base for roles), but the TC is still nothing compared to the 300k+ packages you're getting from the big boys.

It may have changed since I've been living in Canada, but total comp in Toronto at the time were HALF what they were for similar positions in California. Almost all my great engineer friends who still live in my home town in Canada work remote for USA companies for that reason.
That sounds promising, thank you!
Protein "structure" is a slippery concept. In situ measurements, molecular dynamics simulations and basic common sense pretty conclusively show that most proteins actually have a number of conformations they access during normal biological processes. In many cases, these conformations are required for the proteins normal functions. I used to work in the de novo protein field and it was a constant source of irritation to me that what we mainly designed were crystal structures, not dynamic functional proteins.
