If you expect to have the money at a future date and you can secure a low interest rate, it makes much more sense to fund operating expenses with debt than lowering future returns. Certainly for the past decade a large institutional investor with significant assets like a university would have no issue securing an extremely low interest rate.

But you didn't wait to hear my voice. You didn't let me open my mouth. You turned me down on how I looked not what I had to say. You don't know anything about what life experience I have and what unique points of view I can bring you.

There's a lot of comments in here saying that it was the amount Brigade was owed so they probably just thought it was prepayment. There is no chance on earth prepayment of a loan was made without any sort of communication beforehand. Brigade very well knows that they weren't supposed to receive the $ (at this point in time) but it's a cheaper option to take this to court and potentially keep the money (low probability event) than give it back and see a potentially much smaller sum in restructuring (high probability event).

Anyone familiar with distressed situations knows that these things are knife fights so this kind of behavior is not surprising. Brigade is big enough that banks aren't going to refuse to do business with them because of something like this.

> I don't get it... what's the problem with using existing tools, such as bringing criminal charges against these people?

This is an existing tool, and it's one that the occupants were warned would be used if they continued their violations.

Criminal charges are slower, and don't do as much to stop the immediate threat without custodial arrest and pretrial confinement, either in jail, which itself is a public health issue, especially when high-risk transmission behavir is involved, or in separate isolation (which IIRC is available for public health order violations but is manpower intensive.)

20% of the African population is dependent on food aid. There are now more Africans living in Poverty than at any time in history.

How much of our agricultural bounty is sent as food aid, and serves to create only more hungry mouths?

Disabling all food aid, and requiring (/forcing) recipient populations to develop self-sufficiency, is a necessary step to fundamentally improving our agricultural systems. We can assist by providing education and family planning to Women in poverty-stricken countries.

Surely you wouldn't be referring to usb 3.0 data transfer ;)
Mate this is not about that data transfer. There are sensors burried behind the stumps to detect the contact of the ball with the bat. Whereas, cameras are dectecting the release of ball with time synchronisation.

The ball speed is calculated dividing the distance by the time. If the time was 3 seconds, the average speed will be 60/3 = 20 feet per second (6.1 m/sec). Of course this is only the average ball speed, the speed of the ball at the time of release would be greater.
This makes intuitive sense to me, but isn't the issue that relativity states that time is intrinsically coupled with space? Ones experience of time relative to another's is directly related to the topological features of the space they're in. If it's more curved, time also "curves" and slows down relative to another observer in flatter space.

How does this notion of time become decoupled from space?

One way I imagine it is that "time" as a concept encapsulates at least two properties:

1) The degree of freedom (i.e., dimension) through which things can change; and
2) The unidirectional flow of causal events

Relativity seems more concerned with defining time in terms of casual events (e.g., event horizons) than its dimensionality. If we define "fundamental time" as a dimension that allows for change can it then be decoupled from space?

> The day after hearing about the Conway knot problem, Piccirillo, then 27, sat down at her desk and began looking for a solution. Because much of her graduate work involved building pairs of knots that were different but shared some 4-D properties, she already knew that any two knots that share the same 4-D space also share sliceness — they’re either both slice or both not slice. Since her goal was to prove that the Conway knot wasn’t slice, her first step was come up with an entirely different knot with the same four-dimensional space, she explains. “Then I’ll try to show that the other knot isn’t slice.”

> She spent spare time over the next several days hand-sketching and manipulating configurations of the 4-D space occupied by the Conway knot. “I didn’t allow myself to work on it during the day,” she told Quanta Magazine earlier this year, “because I didn’t consider it to be real math. I thought it was, like, my homework.”

> The next step was to try to prove that the knot she drew was not slice. “There are lots of tools already in the literature for doing that,” she says. She would feed the knot iterations into a computer, “and based on the data of the knot, maybe based on how its crossings look or other data that you can pull from the knot, the algorithm spits out an integer.” In less than a week, Piccirillo had created a knot that hit the sweet spot: It had the same 4-D properties as the Conway knot, and it was found by the algorithm to be not slice.

> She had suddenly succeeded where countless mathematicians had failed for five decades. She had solved the Conway knot problem.
Who to ignore – bullshit filters
What I find shocking or, well, confusing, is the fact that things usually come into existence inside reality. Here we're talking about the coming into existence of something that it's easy to consider (I don't know how correctly) reality itself. How does that come out of nothing? And what even is nothing, outside reality?
>>The federal government doesn't seem to feel that same restraint when it comes to sending federal police into Portland to do community-level police work

While I disagree with the strategy and execution it is completely dishonest to say they were sent "to do community-level police work", they were sent to protect Federal Property after the City and State Governments failed to provide any protection for said property in the face of riots.

Again if it were me I would have just abandoned the building, and take with it all federal money letting Portland burn setting up a new Federal Courthouse (and giving the money that comes with it) to a new city in the region that would welcome the economic output of such a venue.

>>And they are certainly more than happy to dictate many other aspects of our lives using whatever levers they have available.

2 wrongs do not make a right... As a libertarian I advocate for the reduction in Federal power all the time at every level. It seems however Democrats only complain about federal power when a Republican is in charge, and Republicans only complain about Federal Power when a Democrat is in charge. Democrats and Republicans alike have transferred HUGE amounts of power from the Legislative to the Executive which enabled both Obama and now Trump to use that federal power in ways many people disagree with

Hey Sandworm. Candela here.

Sure, it's perfectly doable to put hydrofoils on any type of hull, especially passive hydrofoils. We tried, and it wasn't especially nice, nor efficient.

The trick is to use fully submerged ones. But those are much harder to keep stable, as they are inherently unstable. That's were our secret sauce is. We can control them through software similar to what you see in drones. Also, we've created the mechanical and structural components necessary for wave handling.

You won't find this type of innovation, especially the software, in any other boat in production. That's the new stuff.
Not OP, but where I work (Fox Robotics) we leave RL to demos and researchers. It is very promising, but less understood and less proven, so we aren't in a hurry to design any products around it.
Ironically I'm a "implementation is 9/10ths of the law" believer, the proposals were PRs and working demos. Despite being a small start-up the team is not really into iterative development so much as lots of up-front planning and theory followed by big polished PRs.

I agree if I'm going to succeed I'll need to change my approach. I usually learn by doing and experimenting but it's tough to make incremental changes here to understand the codebase better

Mikael Candela at Candela here. Corona slowed us down a bit but we have delivered 16 boats so far to the US and Europe.
yes because the hospital system was not overwhelmed to the extent that it would be with an unchecked coronavirus. The nationwide overwhelming of hospitals with covid is with lockdowns and mask wearing throughout the nation. if steps had not been taken, the death toll would be approaching the millions by now, not just for covid cases but for all kinds of untreated emergencies.
The obvious limitation is that conventional agriculture can't scale endlessly. This isn't controversial, even among conventional farmers. It's a known issue that the 'next green revolution' is needed to feed the ever expanding billions of people on the planet. Conventional agriculture, while a modern miracle in many ways, is just inefficient – in space, resources, etc.

One also can't just hand-wave over the negative externalities of modern farming. Pesticides, soil-carbon loss, and the energy requirements are completely unsustainable.

It is true that there's an enormous difference between a 'food forest' and a natural one. A lot of the research suggests that to adequately address climate change, we can't simply convert farmland to food-forests and call it a day. We actually need to return a significant portion of land back into natural forests.

Anti-racism is a contested concept that well-meaning people define and practice differently. Folks who have different ideas about how to combat racism should engage one another. They might even attempt a reciprocal book exchange, in which everyone works to understand how others see the world.
You can bet your bottom dollar that Russia and Russia backed entities (as well as Chinese) are spending a lot of money to try to gain footholds in Western Europe and America through all kinds of schemes. Whether this was one of those is up for grabs, it could easily be. But it is a fact that these things are happening.

How they might get themselves into such a situation?

Just one sample: The company might have been in financial trouble, not able to fulfill its obligations in the short term, and so a decision was made to pull in some Russian 'cheap' capital for a short term loan.

There is a very large amount of illicit Russian money flowing around and it pops up in the most respectable places.

So it isn't necessarily just greed, it could be that the investor that you are taking on board in turn is a front for that sort of capital (always ask for the source of the capital from your investors, if they are coy about it then better go somewhere else), or that the founders are too naive to realize that they are making deals with people they should stay away from (see comment above for my own personal story).
So. I've just googled "hire more men". In a private tab with a naive hope that google will get me out of whatever bubble it put me into.

This is the first page:

- why employers favor men

- women outnumber men in the paid workforce

- why employers favor men

- women rehired less than men

- if there is a real gender pay gap, why do firms hire men

(I will spare the readers from remaining five links, but trust me, nothing groundbreaking was there)

Again, this is not to say there's no push to hire men. It's just somewhere "in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard"."

As one who has been through both state and federal prison, I can attest that an inmate doesn't have to work if they don't want to. There are some privileges lost, and of course, if there is no alternative income, you truly know what it is to go without.

Also, you don't have to work any job they assign. An inmate can choose to be a yard or hall orderly (janitor) or work in the kitchen or laundry.

I earned enough each month to have a soda and candy bar daily, a quart of ice cream weekly, and enough disposable money to get comfortable sweat pants and shirts and then a book every month. (I played D&D, so those books were about $32 with shipping.)

I worked in the laundry, then the commissary (prison store). While in the store, I took a drafting course and upon graduation, I became a tutor for that course. At the next prison, I worked in the Electrical maintenance shop until the prison Engineer discovered I could draft, and then I drew blueprints.

The tutor and draftsman jobs were very cushy and I earned about $120/month. Plus, I had a side hustle at both of them where I could use a photocopier to make copies for other inmates that weren't allowed in the law library.

And, if you can get a hustle selling something like cigarettes you can make upwards of $10000 a month.

You are, frankly, just making stuff up. UBI proposals are not necessarily (nor usually) funded by creating new money supply.
I can also add some here. We worked for WD for a while. There was this weird thing going on. We requested MacBooks because we were working on Linux and cloud but the management had a policy that managers were entitled to have MacBooks while by default engineers had to use Windows laptops. As externals we were denied MacBooks.

So managers were running Powerpoints on Apple while engineers were running Python, aws-cli on Windows. Perfectly reasonable according to them. I could only estimate the amount of productivity lost on this. Of course WSL was not allowed because corporate security classified it insecure.

I'd bet that their end goal is to get them broken up, and have the app store separated from the product. That way Epic Payments could swoop in as an alternate gaming-focused app store for mobile devices - they already have relationships with many gaming publishers, thanks to Unreal Engine - and get a piece of that lucrative pie, while not having to pay their 30% commissions anymore.

It also wouldn't surprise me if Epic had been in touch with state AGs filing antitrust lawsuits. The timing is pretty suspicious, coming a week after Congressional hearings where Tim Cook said they don't do the exact thing they just did with Epic. You can't launch a new product in a week.

Epic seeks restraining order against Apple's 'devastating' response to lawsuit
I’ve been programming for living since 2000, but I don’t think that’s relevant. No reason not to use what’s available in standard libraries of whatever language you’re writing.

For example, C++ on AMD64 is very likely to compile std::clamp<double> into 2 instructions, minsd and maxsd. I’m not so sure about nested ternaries mentioned elsewhere in the comments.
> It's not like there haven't been sufficient tools to deal with property nuisances & safety violations for hundreds of years in ways that are effective against both rich and poor, and especially not tools that can lead to such terrible consequences for the poor as we slide down this slippery slope.

Uh, the main existing tool for property nuisances is forfeiture. While in this specific case I would enthusiastically support the use of that tool, I don't think it's a more modest or restrained response than what has been given.

It's like arguing “we've authorized use of guns for this problem for centuries, why are we taking the extreme step of bringing out a taser?”
