Why is 60% more fuel for 10% more weight "pretty impressive"? I mean, you just listed several reasons why it might be "not bad", but what's your baseline expectation that makes it impressive?
I'd imagine the tuition should drop by about 30-50%, seeing as college costs are going to be dropping. I'm pretty sure in a skeptical sense they'll be trying to pay associate professors less for the same reason.

and charging students more.

Is it just me, or does Reef sound like nearly pure regulatory arbitrage of the screwed up zoning laws in American cities?

Ie, zoning oversupplies parking spaces relative to commercial real estate, and so if you can put your business in a "van" and "park" it, you get to use land for cheap.

The article alludes to this ("Parking lots have long been attractive sites for urban designers, many of whom see them as wasteful, inefficient land banks."), but doesn't quite draw the connection.
Computer science professor here: I love to have students work on research in my courses, provided that they understand this is the point of the course and they choose to do it. Some of my best students (who went on to great careers in industry or academia) did terrific research projects of their own choosing.

I don’t ask students to do research projects because I expect “free labor” from them (unless they’re my PhD advisee, in which case it’s just poorly-paid labor.) In fact, most of the time I expect that undergraduate and MS projects will fail, or only be partially finished simply due to the schedule constraints those students have with other courses.

For students who are actually interested in conducting real research, the value to the student in being advised by me comes from the fact that they’re working on a research project that’s in my area of expertise and interest. The value to me is that sometimes I learn something new. There’s much less value in my advising students to do projects in areas that I wouldn’t be interested in researching myself, not because I’m looking to cash in on students’ labor, but because I won’t be able to offer them as much guidance.
Ironically, Scott himself has an old (2013) post on "the virtue of silence" that talks specifically about the NYT: https://slatestarcodex.com/2013/06/14/the-virtue-of-silence/

Scott's argument is basically, he is a psychiatrist and his patients will put his real name into google to find out info about him, check he's correctly licenced etc. But this shouldn't lead to them finding out too much as him as a person as that would get in the way of the therapeutic relationship. One thing he does to help with this is not run his public online identity under his full name.

The problem is not people searching for "scott alexander real name", even if they find it. The problem is reverse searches for "scott $surname" by his patients, leading to an article on the politics of his online community, his views on polyamory and transhumanism and gender etc.

If some random blogger made a post using his real name, and it didn't end up ranking highly in the google results for his real name, it probably wouldn't hurt too much - especially as most people don't look at more than the top 5 search results or so. The information being out there by itself is not the big problem.

But if a NYT article gets enough of an impact that it's the number 1 search result for his real name, then we have a problem. And the NYT has a pretty big platform, as Scott pointed out in the linked article, so it's a real hazard.
Children are far more resilient than they get credit for. Short of actual abuse, malnutrition, or other terrible things, crying (and not meeting social needs) is not obviously harmful for baby.

Sure, baby will have a weak(er) bond with their primary caregivers if that happens, but it does not affect how they turn out later in life with other people. If it does, it is only after genetics and same-age peers have had their much bigger effects.

I do recommend reading The Nurture Assumption, which is about that specific assumption that the relationships with parents would be important in all other thing in life. It has not been proven in any strong studies.

The problem in doing this is that saying "school X is great for getting a Ph.D." will never likely generally be true, because the Ph.D. process is so advisor dependent. However, doing this for each advisor is really hard too, because the sample size is small and it's hard for the reviewer to remain anonymous.

All of that said, some set of general statistics (size of program, distribution of research group sizes, percentage of those who wanted a Ph.D. and then got one, etc.) plus a general satisfaction survey among graduate students might be a good complement to the usual ratings one sees in US News.

I am in the process of replacing an harddisk, so I evaluated the GNOME, XFCE and KDE flavous of Ubuntu LTS with live editions.

GNOME has really progressed since the 18.04 LTS days, but I am still on the edge of going back to it (currently I use XFCE).

JavaScript everywhere since version 3 and adamant refusal to support shaded windows is what puts me off. If I wanted that I would be using ChromeOS.
Maybe it was a political stunt, but actually there are two justification of that.

1) The volume. The masks and other protective gear is volume-demanding cargo, since the overall density including packing (boxes) is low. The Boeing 777 Freighter (777F) has 518m3 of cargo volume on main deck [1], An-225 has 1200m3 [2], so the price per 1m3 of volume is 1930$ and 2500$ respectively (ratio 1.3).

2) The demand and the quarantine itself. During March-April demand on masks was enormous, everyone tried to buy them, some countries even tried to take over deliveries for other ones. China and many other countries were not accepting flights, so arranging even a single flight was challenging (thats why An-225 was flying through Almaty city that many times when making China-Europe routes, all other airports simply didn't accept any planes for transit and refueling). As a result, one huge plane was much more beneficial than 2-3 smaller ones.

Edit: correcting An-225 cargo volume from 1100m3 to 1200m3 using data from the official website.

Saw it once visiting DLC, probably the only time visiting that airport, this was ~2008. The airport is pretty downtown; fences at each end of the runway (3,300m, pretty tight) were removed and the motorway immediately adjunct to the airport shut down. It was reported as delivering oil/gas supplies for the shipyard and no smaller plane could do it. Searched for a local media report but seems pains of time mean they're no longer up.
I was going to comment nearly this exact thing. SSC guy has worked slavishly for years to grow a fan base which has had knock-on effects as the community he’s carefully curated intersects with some that have done incredible harm on twitter and reddit. This just reads like not wanting to have to take real responsibility for what has come of his speech.
I remember the bias; in my case I was never sure whether it was because I was the only father at the local playgrounds, or whether it was because I was the only foreigner there.

But I will say that while children don't understand words (so much at the start) they really do pick up on tone of voice, and emotion. Sometimes there's an instinct urge to shout "Nooooo!!!! Stop!!! Don't do that!!" when a baby/toddler starts doing something dangerous. It'll happen when you least expect it - don't beat yourself up, and try to remember to speak calmly and clearly.
Ha.

I believe it is a function of the medium. Text is so interesting in that how you feel affects how you read and interpret it.

A good example is the line ‘I never said she took the money’

Depending on which words or sets of words you emphasize when saying it out loud, you can get a dozen different meanings out of the sentence. I.e. compressing human communication into text is more lossy than people recognize.

It becomes self perpetuating. If you feel angry, you will read people’s written word as snarky and you will get into a fighting mood. If you internally sing the communication from someone who is obviously trying to troll or be mean, it actually becomes quite hilarious and it will lift your mood (this is advice I give to people some times).

Random tip: Uniqlo is an usual but excellent source for inexpensive hiking/backpacking/lightweight travel clothes. In particular: the UL down jackets/parkas (~9.5oz in size M), HeatTech Extra Warm baselayers, Airism underwear, wind jacket, and socks/gloves. You see a ton of this stuff out on any long distance trail (it’s high quality enough to last an entire thru-hike and beyond).

Once you put on the HeatTech extra warm leggings, you’ll understand why superheroes wear tights—they’re the bomb.

This seems to be widespread among japanese companies. My dad worked for a large Japanese multinational and on a number of occasions when japanese execs flew in, he would have to set them straight when they tried to engage in employee harassment, unruly behavior in restaurants, etc...

...and that's coming from a reputable, well-off company. In Japan, they have a term called "black company"[1] that is essentially abusive sweatshops, but for office work. There's literally genres of manga that start off w/ the premise of people dying of overwork at these kinds of places.

This is not true. You can pre-render shadow DOM with stencil - it has an option to generate a separate package which takes in HTML for components and outputs the shadow HTML ready for rehydration on client, including all the necessary CSS. This can be called on server before sending to client. Or at build-time for static sites.
It's still a difference though if a patient searching for his real name to check if he's properly licenced etc. gets SSC as their first search result or not.

Anyone selling stuff online knows that if it takes "a few minutes of googling" to find you, you might as well not exist; whether you're #1 or #2 on the search results can already have a huge impact on your bottom line and the how many people even advance to the second page of results?

CS50 is THE reason I have a software development career today. Coincidentally, after CS50, I started watching an MIT Python course. If the MIT course had been my introduction so programming, I am sure that I would have dismissed software development as "not for me". I got lucky that my first exposure was CS50 - I owe a debt of gratitude to Malan.
We already have this automation. You can find it in the pre-packaged entrees section of your grocery store’s freezer aisle. The problem is that outside of a few limited categories, most people find frozen pre-prepared food to be unsatisfactory when compared to fresh food. So the concern is that automation may just mean “supermarket-quality food becomes the norm, while all the real restaurants go out of business”.
Given the fact that the only way Russia was able to claw back a bit of Ukrainian territory was through outright invasion I think that the Ukrainian people do not share your misguided belief that it would be good for them to rejoin the CIS. In fact, other than Russian apparatchiks I do not think there is anyone in the world who thinks that this would be a good idea.
I started looking at going back to school around a year ago and online is basically the only way that will ever happen realistically.

While most programs do charge a bit less for tuition, the amount of money they're charging for recorded lectures and a credential is almost comical. On top of that many programs, including some of the better looking ones (i.e. from flagship state schools) still differentiate between in and out of state tuition. There were a few programs that were cheaper, but you could tell there was a reason for that.

So yeah, no way in hell I'm paying for what they're asking considering what I'd get.

I will say that _as a coo_ I really like this first sentence:

You think you need a COO. What you really need is an operating philosophy.

I don't like the world "philosophy" but perhaps I'm just playing to type since COO's are known for not liking the hyperbolic :-)

The point is that lots of teams assign operational discipline to an individual leader or later a team. Irrelevant of the specific methodology ingraining the idea of "create a plan, report on plan" is really important. I don't think that the specific cadence or the nature of the plan matters anywhere near as much as simply having something and measuring yourself against it. That's something the whole team has to take on board - rather than just making it one person's responsibility.

The cadence thing is driven by how much forward view you have, how big the organisation is and how much resource you have available for planning/reporting. The goal is to do "just enough" to drive the business forward - your constantly trying to manage the goldilocks level of chaos (not too much, and not too little). As the business grows and there are more layers and complexity then the length of the planned cycle and the requirements of the cadence will increase.

I understand the point about difference cadence's, personally it's more complexity than I'd like to manage.

Last thing I'd mention is that it's a lot easier to add process than it is to remove it: the negative impact is that it will tend to slow-up the organisation. While adding more process and systems is needed as you grow - the organisation (and certainly the COO/Ops team) should regularly assess whether the whole system fits - process/systems tend to accrete - sometimes that means stopping doing things. The goal is to provide the conditions so the organisation can function well (generally meaning grow) - you need just enough scaffolding to support the organisations goal, as the shape changes you need to remove some bits of scaffolding and support other parts that are under pressure.
Ok, that is a legitimate ... quibble. Let's assume that we don't already know the correct distribution. In that case we're going to judge each theoretical fit by how close it comes to the historical data. (Or else we're going to get that wrong, which is another common approach.) ELO is much more prestigious and credible than some guy who made a game, but it is less credible than data, for some number of data points N. (Although I think a theory can be more prestigious than data almost independent of N.)
Amen. I want to love it and I’ve tried but the file format thing is a dealbreaker. I fantasize about a fork that fixes the “projects” vs wav files issue, and in my fantasy the keybindings match Sound Forge so it’s not jarring to switch back and forth.

ListenBrainz dev here. We wanted stuff like the ability to do stuff like "DELETE FROM measurement where field = blah" and that support didn't exist last time we looked. [0]

Another thing that's not mentioned in the post but was a pain point for us was that it's not easy to query for fields with "null" values [1].

I figure a lot of our pain might be because we're not as good at Influx as we are at PostgreSQL. We've been running MusicBrainz[2] for ~18 years on PostgreSQL, that knowledge will hopefully transfer over a little with Timescale.
