It was (and remains) an investment in the sense that it allowed you to live in a nicer place farther from work, or to commute to a job you otherwise couldn't take.

But was it ever an investment as an appreciating asset per se? I'm not aware of such a situation but I'd be interested to learn otherwise.
A well written update on the SARS-CoV-2 D614G spike mutation. The D614G mutation has become the dominant form in Europe and North America. In the lab, D614G seems to attach to cells more readily than the original non-mutated spike. The dominance of D614G could be due to a founder effect or that it somehow outcompetes viruses with the original non-mutated spike without changing the pathogenesis of the disease; the discomforting possibility that it has been selected for greater infectivity.

To counter the possible "bad news" lab results, is the possible "good news" lab results that some vaccines seem to work more effectively against viruses with the D614G mutation.
It depends on what you value and what your drives are. But to give you a bit more tangible advice. When you are asking your self "Is it time to leave?" a couple of days in a row, it's probably time to leave. And don't fear leaving, the amount of growth and experience it brings you is mostly already worth it.

This whole thread makes me think that we all work too much. People are upset that those with children are given more schedule flexibility than those who do not have children. It seems like straight up jealousy. Instead of resenting parents, resent your manager and ask for ( or demand) what you want.

The argument that other workers need to make up for the slack left by parents does not really make sense; you just add tasks to your backlog, and do them when you have time. You should be in control of your own schedule, and don't let your manager just extend your workday. If your manager does not respect your time and is overworking you, quit. As engineers, we are not punching a time clock. If you are, take issue with that, not the flexibility some other coworkers are getting (flexibility that they need).

If you also want more schedule flexibility, push for it. Talk to your manager. Organize with your fellow employees. Organize with other engineers. Start a union (gasp!).

Work-life balance is always a balance. Our jobs should take note of what we do outside of work and how that affects our ability to work. We are people, not mindless, identical worker bees. Our life outside of work is most likely more important to us than our life at work.

Having children is very much unlike most other activities in that you cannot quit. You can quit a side hustle, you can quit a sport. But you can't quit being a parent. So when a parent turns to their boss and says "I need more flexibility", the manager has to give that flexibility or the worker is going to have to find a new job that does give that flexibility. Usually capitalism will extract as much time from a worker as possible, forcing the worker to give up many things in the name of work. It's impossible to give up your child though, so obviously capitalism has to yield there. But with better labor organization, capitalism will yield to other things too.

If we all want schedule flexibility and more time so badly, let's unionize and get that. Not resent our working parents, who most likely have more on their plate and less free time than non-parents, even with the flexibility.
Confused? I'd highly suggest listening to the talk by Eric on this LTSE:

Isn't this pretty much a textbook example of hydrogen? Just ship hydrogen instead of diesel.
This isn't known to be true. In terms of computational complexity, market clearing is PPAD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PPAD_(complexity)). It may turn out that PPAD is computationally tractable even if P != NP, though it is thought to be unlikely.
The problem is, if a book fulfills all your 4 criteria it's extremely unlikely its "wisdom" hasn't become common knowledge. No surprise = no information.

A truly life changing book would need to have been ignored or misunderstood by the world at large. But most such books will obviously be junk so I'm not sure there's a simple way to discover the good ones.
That article explains that the galaxies are only moving faster than light from our perspective since every part of space between us and it is expanding.

So, no it's not moving faster than light. The space between it and everything else is expanding.
And again, I'm sympathetic to that argument. But then don't argue that the iPhone is exactly the same.

I don't think anyone can reasonably argue that Apple would stop producing the iPhone if sideloading was allowed. The smartphone market doesn't operate the same way as the console market.
The problem here is that you are taking a simplified layman's description, making naive assumptions about it and then brazenly dismissing the whole of contemporary cosmology as if you have profound insights that went completely over the heads of some seriously smart physicists.

You then make an analogy about "Pangaea" as if you alone are the brilliant shining light of reason, but if you took just a small amount of time to read even Wikipedia you would find, for example, that several super-continents have formed and broken apart over the history of the Earth. The very first section of the Wikipedia article on Supercontinents lists eleven of them!
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercontinent#Supercontinents...]

I for one see a lot of problems with your one dimensional analysis and obvious lack of awareness on these topics. In my opinion, your currently insufficient knowledge is akin to believing that the Earth is flat because you can't personally see curvature on the horizon.

Seriously though, I recommend you take the time to read about 'the entire premise of dating our universe', all the many decades of development, criticisms, refinements and confirmations of the current best theory. You'll find that it's an amazing subject, that all of your concerns have been poured over for the past century in great detail, that many brilliant people have worked out fantastically brilliant methods for figuring this out... and then finally, maybe, you'll be ready to read about the various cyclic cosmological models.
Xbox doesn't allow "X rated" games and the all games have an ESRB rating that could be enforced as native app controls just like music streaming, tv & video streaming.

The anti-trust legislation used to be applied much more widely in the US, but that has changed (and we see a market with a lot of bully monopolists because of this).

It doesn't really come down to if the law is precise or not, but how it is applied.

A similar service, arXiv[0], is used in other fields as well. In fact, the parent study that we're discussing was itself found on arXiv.

However, arXiv is (or aims to be) a supra-national organization. Do you think it is preferable to have an international standard repository for this knowledge like arXiv, a network of federated, national systems such as HAL, or both?

ArXiv has historically sometimes found itself hard-up for funding, so I think that a valid argument could be made for both approaches.

would this also be the technology to use for satellite -> surface energy transfer?
To add to this comment, use of strong gradients also slows down scanning When you hit SAR limits. The SAR has to be brought down with pauses between scans, reducing gradient amplitudes, reduced resolution or shorter echo trains. It’s really painful.
I think for the vast majority of developers the Apple payment ecosystem makes sense.

Considering that one can get payment processing for a tenth of Apple's fee, I consider Apple's 30% to be outright usurious. I would be a little more forgiving if that same fee bought some discovery in the App Store, but no. Or maybe faster app reviews. Okay, finally; after how many years of multiple week waits?

Seems really cool, but after being on your site for 10 min I have yet to find the "meat". Other than a vague reference to "through member broker-dealers". For me the info I am interested in, and would want to see featured most prominently, is 1) A list of companies on the exchange and their last closing price. 2) An option (even if through a third party) to purchase shares of companies listed on LTSE. This information is no where to be found.

That is not a correct summary. The first part of this study includes private schools. The second part includes universities. Removing those factoers, USA K-12 is either average or below.
If they had said "I don't like allowing CORPXYZ to run a microphone in my house" or "I have an issue with ... " that would be a reasonable objection.

Instead, this is "I don't allow anything to pollute from my property, but you're welcome to join me at my nightly bonfire".
Local factors (gravity, strong & weak nuclear force) easily overcome the expansion of space. So things stick together.
This trick came in very handy when I came back to the game last night.

I had figured I could trigger the button somehow from the keyboard, but for whatever reason I never picked up that it was the Enter key that did it.

I'm sure I tried it. I think maybe it was because hitting enter doesn't trigger the button animation.
And yet the graphics are actually the performance bottleneck.

I tried that on a 4k monitor, and it ran quite slowly. I then made the window smaller, and it ran much faster. It's bottlenecked on the graphics, not on the physics engine.
Have fun carrying your 55" TV around town.

The appeal of smartphones is the ability to watch videos, play games, etc anywhere you are (within the coverage areas, of course).

> I think the cellular carriers should invest more in improving their coverage, especially in rural areas

I would say coverage is generally pretty good, especially in the Eastern half of the country. There's very little benefit to providing service in the middle of nowhere when the majority of their subscriber base is going to be in bigger cities.
I had a team where we always talked about our bus factor - how many of us it would take to be hit by a bus to royally screw the team. We also got nervous when too many of us shared an elevator together, hah.

D614G is old news. Here, in Central Asia, (in Uzbekistan, probably in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan too) , we have new mutation emerged, D614A. It appears to be slower spreading but deadlier than D614G. It was discovered accidentally by South Korean doctors, during the routine airport checks of people coming back to Korea from Uzbekistan. But, hey who cares about obscure -stans; neither first-world, nor large third-world countries.
It's rarely the scraper that runs afoul of legal complications (as always, with exceptions); it's what you do with the scraped data.
They broke the TOS on purpose and are now crying about that Apple actually held the line. I think Apple is way overpriced too, but when you go into their ecosystem and profit on it - you have to play by the rules. If you break the rules, you get removed. I would expect the same treatment on any app store.
Most of what I do in a word processor today, I could have done in Wordstar 3 under CP/M. Perhaps only the printing (no postscript) would have been a problem. Certainly most of what I do in Excel could be done in SuperCalc.
>The tidyverse does get iffy sometimes when you need to dig into the rlang/tidy eval area, but that’s all well-documented.

Non-standard evaluation, in my opinion, does fine in the top layer (analysis scripts, DSLs). But it's a pain to build on top of magic without a more concrete layer between. Base R uses character vectors and name attributes to hide the magic. The Tidyverse uses symbols. I find character vectors much easier to understand and manipulate.

Formulas are the only scenarios in base R where symbol and expression manipulation is sometimes necessary. And I don't do that thinking, "Boy, I wish this was how I did 95% of my work."

Personally, I use data.table. It's been great even for packages. If it's an internal package dataset, I don't need to manipulate symbols. And if it's a user-supplied argument, there's usually a simple and fast way to do it with a character vector. Or I define an S3 class, give a helper function that produces a dataset with known names, and just write functions around that. The user can handle combining data however they want.

>Base R is a total mess and largely inconsistent

I wouldn't go so far as to say "total mess." Not even an annoyingly big mess. The few functions that make up most of analysis or package code are dead simple. Inconsistent argument names is hardly a problem with an IDE.

@eries Isn't this a raw deal for executives and potential executives of listed companies? It introduces new corporate governance rules (no short-term incentives, buybacks, etc) without alleviating the existing regulatory burden of quarterly filings, GAAP, etc.

Counter-point: we all know that "free" internet services are flaky. Eg many people prefer to pay for email, for reliability. This article introduces the perspective that OA journals are a bit like ad-supported email.

I don't really agree that traditional publishers lose all articles by default by this metric. I think there is some value in a reliable record of the journal itself, as more than the sum of its parts.

Still, my preferred solution for all of this is like JMLR -- very low-cost and open access, and it has reliability by virtue of association with a top university, and prestige by virtue of its editorial board (which becomes self-fulfilling).
I guess the question is really - Is the site bringing politics into a non-political venue - or are you requesting that they suppress any views that make you uncomfortable on their site ?

There are a ton of DIYers on YouTube that are simply ingenious. From building solar to farming to whisky to fermentation, so much creativity and know-how... certainly a rabbit hole
Edit: As several have pointed out... I'm wrong. I was confusing energy with power.

> microwave energy—an electromagnetic wave just like Marconi’s radio waves, only a bit more energetic

Sorry for the nitpick, but, the difference between microwave and longer wavelength radio waves is frequency, not energy! I see this all the time in popular science reporting and it drives me nuts... Microwaves are electromagnetic waves, just like UHF, VHF, etc., except that they are a higher frequency (and thus, shorter wavelength). In fact, in general, longer wavelength radio waves are often transmitted at higher power than shorter.

Unless they mean that this microwave energy transfer scheme itself is using more energetic radio waves than other types of radio systems... but it doesn't read that way to me.
You can have a satellite at low earth orbit taking energy from the sun or even more ambitiously nuclear fusion(like the sun) that may very well be easier to archive in low gravity of near space, then transmit this to a base earth station. It would be near-free in the same sense that the suns energy is near-free.
Not in practice. In practice, this provides a very tiny force pulling subatomic particles apart in an atom's nucleus, or pulling atoms away from each other in a molecule, or pulling a celestial body's molecules away from each other. It makes no difference at all, because that force is absolutely dwarfed by the strong nuclear force, electromagnetism, or gravity, respectively. Systems that are coupled together by those forces, up to and including galaxies, are impacted only very minutely by this expansion.

For the expansion to have a significant impact on relative distances, the distances involved have to be so extreme that there's no real other interaction between the objects you're measuring from.
I’m not sure how you can compare a closed ecosystem with essential services - phone, email, text, 2FA, emergency warnings, heart monitoring, medicine tracking, banking, etc. - with a closed ecosystem that runs games.

Mobile phones are how many individuals interface with the rest of the world.

Not to mention your case gets worse when there are way less restrictions on releasing games on Xbox/PlayStation/Switch than on iOS.

Negotiating power seems slightly tangential to the main issue, I don't think that take-it-or-leave-it negotiating tactics are inherently bad. When you buy food from the supermarket, you either pay the price they are charging or you leave - there's no negotiation.

But in that scenario, you can always walk out and walk into a competing grocery store and try to find a better price. The fact that you can walk is what makes it a competitive scenario, and not an anti-trust one. The question here is, is being able to walk away and use an Android (or other smartphone) product an equivalent (thus fair competition) - or is software in the iOS ecosystem unique enough that not being allowed to participate unless you follow arcane rules is unfair abuse of a monopoly.
Before each war, leaders should sit down, write down hypothetical outcomes and see if they still feel it makes sense. Then, after the conflict, come back and see how their estimates were. I'm hopeful that people would be more prudent if they could foresee the impact of their decisions.

Island sited renewables (wind and solar) are probably a better option than high power radar through free air. Two wind turbines are enough to displace half of the diesel fired generation. Just need more turbines, solar, and some batteries.

I briefly saw a midsize public company ($3-$5 billion valuation) while it was public and then after it had been taken private by 2 PE firms. Under PE ownership, the horizon for product decisions and other investments was 1-3 years, vs. 1-6 months while public. Being public meant managing to earnings expectations, which sucked. While not perfect, I think PE ownership was better for the company and the products.

I might have a different opinion if the alternative was, say, the company being owned by the same family for 50 years.

All of this depends entirely on the PE firms. The ones involved here were savvy about software and growth (think Silver Lake).
