When someone at a company tells you policy forbids/requires something, ask who is the person setting that policy.

There is a fringe theory similar to HAB (thx for mentioning it btw., didn't know that) wherein the earth tilts by about 90 degrees for a few days and then back, but the mechanism is different. Supposedly caused by changing magnetism and structure/viscosity of some larger parts of earths molten layers, changing the center of gravity for a while, and so on.

The photographer that that left identifiable faces should be prosecuted. Perhaps that is the most telling problem: these people's rights are not enforced, because those people live on fringes of morality. Making a commercial project based on illegal footage should make it illegal. South European countries have very strong privacy rules and they are actually enforced both legally as well as socially. To have security camera you need a license, and even it's usage for prosecution is limited.
On the other hand the word-policing of "prostitute" destroys the article, that very fast comes out as a moralistic piece on how prostitutes are only victims of slavery and violence. In Portugal there was recently some feministic propaganda saying "if you pay you are worth nothing" with an origami vagina on a 20 euros bank note. They basically reduced the body of these people to a 20 euro bill. I found it disgusting and other women protection victims came out saying that the campaign was in extremely bad taste and did not represent the whole spectrum of the activity. It also further stigmatized these people. Personally I found it disgusting. I program for money and often sacrifice a lot of my dignity for it. Should my activity be reduced to a caricature? Hell no.

They either keep the money as cash, so that they can buy stocks when the market gets even lower, or they buy alternatives like gold.
No one has actually answered this - the short answer is that mobile users who use the app have a higher Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) that mobile users who do not use the app.

The difference is high enough that converting one user will more than cover the CLV losses of all the other users who are driven away by the popup.

The reddit marketing team will be trying to maximise CLV and A/B testing tonnes of different ways to do this.

For reddit CLV is based on ads and premium subscriptions/reddit gold, and these figures for mobile app users will be based on a number of factors including data mining, ability to send push notifications to device, control over the ad experience, avoidance of ad blockers, likelihood of returning to reddit, posting frequency etc. Using the website, especially on mobile, will make a lot of those metrics fall off a cliff when looking at CLV, and I wouldn't be surprised if an app user has a 20x or 30x CLV than a mobile web user.
I think the issue is how it's phrased. OP said, effectively, I don't like my job, should I do a start up? Which is a terrible starting point for a business. If they said something like "I've got this great idea" then people would tell them to go for it.

There's this weird idea out there that Start Up is a job or company in itself. But it's not. Sure, companies will pivot and opportunities can come out of seemingly nowhere. That doesn't mean you just start something without a reasonable belief that it will work.

This is what I really wish the WHO would solve. Have a global fund that every country contributes to based on GDP and/or population. The WHO buys an new drugs from the drug companies and then sets up manufacturing and stockpiles. Then we can get rid of all this drug advertising and reduce the cost of health care. We can stop have the same drug be cheaper in Canada than it is in the US. The drug companies can coordinate with the WHO to develop drugs for the most needed conditions. We don't need a 12th ED drug but a shelf stable anti-venom might be needed globally.

If there are vaccines/shots we need globally, we can keep a certain percentage of flu or whatever around and ship to where they are needed. Instead each country has to keep their own stockpile with duplication of effort. In the US, we pay egg farms billions to produce eggs to be used for making flu vaccines for when actually need them but we pay for the farms year round so we have reserved supply. This is silly and there are easier ways to share the costs.

The file browser on the left and the general design of it makes me lean towards the author intending this to replace VS Code and other modeless, less keyboard focused editors, not regular Emacs, which I can see the value in because Emacs being written in C and Lisp is probably a lot more performant and lean, plus a lot of people are opposed to Electron apps in general.

India’s De Scalene wins FDA, EU approval for Shycocan to neutralise coronavirus
Definitely fair to call it an over generalization - I grew up in a town with a "private sector" that only existed because of government contracts and have worked on pursuing DoD contracts for life sciences applications, and from what I've seen, it's fair to say that creating employment in the US continues to be a very large part of the driving force behind why funding is allocated by the government. The program managers aren't necessarily keeping it front of mind, but the people signing the legislation to give the program managers their funds to manage basically only care about the jobs part, and that bleeds through in a lot of subtle and non-subtle ways
It's PII, personally identifiable information, not "P2".
Great suggestions. I would add that Calculus on Manifolds might be sufficient for differential geometry.

One note on expectations - each of the domains you mentioned is typically an upper level undergraduate course (except for the first three). These courses usually progress at a rate of maybe 10 - 15 pages per week (~200 pages of a textbook covered in 16 weeks). It's genuinely hard to absorb this material in that amount of time, and unless you're exceptionally capable you should assume it will take you even longer under self-study.

If you proceed with doing this, make sure you work through at least a few of the exercises at the end of each chapter of each book, and try to compare your solutions against solutions you find online.

This is not to discourage anyone - studying all of this will probably be very rewarding! It's just a lot of work. It takes a massive amount of effort to get to the point where you can understand all the prerequisites needed to follow a research paper in modern math or physics.

That's an interesting answer! Your final layout looked oddly familiar to me, and it finally occurred to me: The problem of finding a skeleton puzzle was very similar to finding an optimal layout for a sugarcane farm in Minecraft, that my high school friends and I experimented with years ago. Each square of sugarcane needs to be connected to at least one square of water, and the most efficient farm is the one requiring the least amount of space for water.

How to set up a VM in GCP
It's weird for you to believe this, because Chrome is made by an ad company whose sole goal in existence is collecting data for ad targeting...

Many of Chrome's features are implemented in Edge by replacing Google services with Microsoft ones. So for many things, Microsoft may be collecting similar data (though likely not monetizing it at all).

But the key thing is that tracking prevention: It means your browser is leaking your data around the internet significantly less. Not just less to Google, but less to almost everyone else on the Internet. Chrome, by refusing to implement tracking prevention, is pretty much a leaky ship with holes in it.

Here's Edge's implementation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/web-platform...

Here's Firefox's implementation:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-prote...

Here's Safari's implementation:

Chrome has nothing. Google paid some of their staff to write a FUD piece about how preventing tracking was a privacy risk somehow.
There's no conspiracy here, just TypeScript is now strict enough to need annotation, and the authors deemed it better to work with a valid TS file and annotate from there than loosen that strictness.
Federal Reserve balance sheet:

https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/bst_recenttren...

The simplified version is that when the Fed wants to inject money/liquidity it buys assets (exchanging new "money" for the asset) in the open market. These operations are done within the financial system. The idea is that banks next loan the money to non-financial businesses which in turn stimulates economic activity. But that last part isn't happening, the injected liquidity is remaining within the financial system where it is being used to bid up the prices of existing financial assets rather than being used to create new ones.
Fed invents money. It has to go somewhere. It goes into stocks. Someday it stops and so do stocks. Your grandchildren eventually pay it off somehow.
> if SpaceX is convinced they could still beat a competitor

That's not really the point though. Amazon is a fierce (and many times dirty) competitor to be up against.

If you're competing directly with AWS then you need to take every advantage you can get. If you're trying to build a global satellite network to provide internet access and not having launch capabilities will delay AWS long enough to get a foothold in the market then you take it.

Knowing what music you like would be helpful in a discussion like this. (Context: I've spent a lot of my career working in music or music software.)

It's difficult to expand your musical horizons just by shooting in the dark at things you should like. But often you can build bridges to new things by exploring their musical ancestors and descendants. Like classic rock? Start listening to some blues, then go from there to jazz. Like hip hop? Move backwards through disco, funk, soul, and, well, there we're back to jazz.

Classical music is a somewhat harder nut to crack if you don't gravitate towards it. What I've found, however is that some people think they don't like classical because they don't like Mozart, but then you play something a bit more modern (say, Stravinsky or so) and that grabs their attention.

If you like electronic stuff, one great book that I read years back, and have since passed on to several people is this:

https://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Experimental-Music-Technol...

It does a very good job of drawing a line from musique concrète and impressionism all the way through modern stuff like DJ Spooky. There are older editions of the book that are cheaper used and should be just fine.

If you list some of the things you do like, then it'd be easier for riff off of that to give you some suggestions for what might expand your horizon. There's no shame in having unsophisticated tastes at first. I remember having a student who started off wanting to learn Limp Bizket, and we worked from there to Rage Against the Machine, then from there to things like King Crimson and eventually a couple years later he was into pretty sophisticated fusion stuff.

(Edit: fixed the link)
Listen listen listen. Also I don't think you can really know that much without experience singing or playing but you don't have to be a virtuoso to expand your understanding of soooo many things. It goes really broad and deep similar to computer science.
I honestly did not remember that.

Basically, you can think of the stock market (price) driven by two components: 1) an aggregate of all company profits in the stock market and 2) the cost of borrowing capital (discount rate).

1) Corporate Profits - From what I recall, corporate profits have been flat to down over recent quarters.

2) Discount Rate - The cost of borrowing capital has been falling as governments make access to capital easier for businesses. This has a huge effect on the valuation of the stock market compared to the impact of the profits. This is why the stock market continues to go up. The issue is that if you were to make access to capital harder, thus increasing the discount rate, companies in theory wouldn't be able to borrow as much, and therefore grow as much. Thus, the market would in theory go down, probably alot.

Commodities could be another option. I think gold and silver aren't great choices right now, but maybe platinum is. Along this same line, real estate has real value to it.
It's really not that complicated. Wall Street doesn't (generally) own businesses on Main Street. Main Street is skewed towards locally owned boutiques, cafes, shops, restaurants and so on. Those are getting killed but it doesn't matter to the S&P 500 because they're not listed there. To some extent it is good for the S&P 500 as the money shifts from those locally owned businesses to the mega corps in the S&P 500.

We've gone from ~4% unemployment to 10-15%. Which sounds bad. But if you flip it around, we've gone from 96% employment to 85-90%. The vast majority of people are still employed and the economy is mostly still humming along.

And they need start launching soon. FCC rules give Amazon until 2026 to launch and start operating at least 50% of the licensed number of satellites - 1618 satellites - or risk their satellite constellation license annulled.

To put this timeframe in context, Blue Origin was founded in 2000 and has yet to achieve a single orbital flight.

I agree, don't think it works out. Consider a 3x3...x3 puzzle (with N dimensions). There are 2^N corners but 3^N pieces so the corner-to-piece ratio decreases exponentially in N.

However, what does "corner" mean in an N dimensional puzzle? I was taking it to mean that it has N sides without pegs or holes. But if you took it to mean at least 2 sides without pegs or wholes, then indeed the ratio would increase (I think there are 3^N - 2^N - 1 of those) with N. But I think this is the less-satisfactory way to generalize "corner" pieces and these really should be thought of as edge pieces.

Get personally involved, have some skin in the game, and you'll get much more out of music.

About a year ago I started a project called Poseur to Composer. My goal is to play an instrument and learn enough music theory to compose songs I'm proud of (it's been a slow and humbling process, and I'm still working at it). Along the way I've discovered many new artists and genres, and I listen to music - no, engage with music - in a much different way now.

In case anyone's interested, here is where I've blogged my progress: https://poseurtocomposer.postach.io/page/sitemap and a recent newsletter I sent that encapsulates what I've accomplished thus far: https://mailchi.mp/60c7dfc7bcbb/rediscovery

It's not just that there's friction associated with injection-only antibiotics. It's also that most cutting edge antibiotics that must be delivered via injection or infusion tend to be finicky about dose titration (requiring regular blood tests and hence effectively have secondary product dependencies to support use of the antibiotic), and have an unfortunate tendency to cause a number of relatively severe side effects that need to be monitored for over an extended duration.
