I'd say so but only once the science is advanced enough to be of more use than technology developed by trail and error and intuition, which is a pretty high bar. Just think that when steam engines were already in use commercially, we didn't even have the law of conservation of energy, and the whole field of thermodynamics was developed afterwards. We made metal and gunpowder without chemistry, electric lights without electromagnetism, etc.

For clarity, I'm not counting engineering and technology as science. You can develop techniques for building ships that float without understanding anything about buoyancy or mechanics of materials but just though gradual evolution of ideas and passing knowledge down through generations of craftsmen.

The cost of sending the letters is a lot less than bringing a lawyer into court. Low income individuals just pay up. If it costs pennies to send and you make $100, you’re going to keep optimizing that. If you lack the funding to take down a hedge fund manager, you’re not going to bother trying.

The IRS also sends the letters to people that they owe money. This year my accountant didn’t realize I was owed a credit. The IRS mailed me a check and a letter explaining why they adjusted my return and issued the credit.
You are right on the money, it was eBay from China maybe 4 years ago, roughly 2,50 € per piece in a pack of 5. At that time they costed around 7 € a piece at mouser although I don't really would swear on any of these numbers being 100% accurate given the time that passed.

I had genuine parts to compare so it was quite clear to me that something was off right away. I complained and described the measurements and got my money back without any further comment from their side.

Sounds nice.

But living standards are higher in the US, and our trips are longer. To drive my family across Texas is nearly as far as driving across France and Germany, and I have three other states to cross.

If I can afford to pay more to get a bigger, faster, safer vehicle for the trip, it’s my money.
Another statement of the Church-Turing thesis is to say that the the functions computable by a Turing machine (or lambda-computable, or general recursive) makes a good proxy for the intuitive concept of computability.

From this perspective, "thesis" is a misnomer: it just happens to be a useful definition for "computability".

That's not to say that there aren't edge cases where intuitive "computability" and Turing computability disagree; for most people, any number of oracle machine constructions will fall under the former but not the latter. We've just chosen to define the term in a way that's "easy" to define somewhat rigorously and has useful properties.

It's kind of just like if we were to call the usual definition of the reals "Cauchy's thesis" or somesuch.
We're talking about two types of car so we understand they were designed for cars. Is there something particularly interesting about electric cars with the suburban model?
What's the demographic? If you can only afford a $4320 car, you're buying a 20 year old junker. (They aren't that expensive to maintain, if you only fix the drivetrain and safety parts. Find a shade tree mechanic (like me) that only charges $25 an hour.) If you can afford a more expensive car, the $4320 is going to be miserable to drive. Vague steering, poor brakes, terrible wind and tire noise, stiff suspension, uncomfortable seats, plasticy interior that rattles.

Towns and suburbs are generally classed as urban. Maybe low density urban, but urban nonetheless.

It probably makes sense. Having yards and trees and driving 2 miles to Target is more similar to not having trees and driving 2 miles to Target than it is similar to driving 200 miles to Target.

Have sidewalks? Probably urban.

> I've slaughtered more machines than any of you.

I'd rather not engage in pointless unprovable arguments, if you don't mind.

> The problem is that you are treating your logs as pets when the truth is the logs are also cattle. Virtually all debug logs will pass through their life cycle without being read, so indexing them is just a flagrant waste of energy.

You shouldn't have debugging enabled on production systems unless you have an interim process that filters out debug messages before they get indexed (and thus you can toggle which logs get indexed there rather than reconfiguring / redeploying all of your application nodes).

Also nobody is suggesting logs should be treated as "pets". You still want to purge out older logs however the problem is you cannot always replicate reported errors so if you don't have those log messages captured then you're sod out of luck.

Don't get me wrong, there is a certain allure to the traditional method of systems administration - I've been on both sides of the fence - but central logging services have so many other benefits such as security (tamper proof logs, users don't require SSH), ease of use, persistent logging, etc. The only real downside is cost but that quickly becomes absorbed in your pricing plan when customers start asking for SLAs.

Yes, I agree that’s likely!
My state has 75 MPH speed limits, which effectively allows 85 MPH in real use. I’ve driven my family tens of thousands of miles across the American West, and seen posted limits as high as 85 MPH.

Nothing like seeing a police car pass you by without a second glance while you are doing 92 MPH in the right lane.
I would guess the IRS would disagree, since you're even supposed to pay taxes on bartering where no currency exchanges hands, just goods or services.

So if you exchange $20 USD for foreign currency and then buy something a month later where it would have cost $25USD to get the same amount of currency, that's a capital gain.
Richard Stallman also earned quite a bit of infamy by blasting CSAIL with his “nuanced” views of pedophilia. Frankly, I don’t think much of his judgment of character.

I don't think so, meteoric iron (according to the wonderful blog series[1]) is early Egyptian.

Iron (and steel) is stable outside the presence of oxygen and water. It doesn't just dissolve. And certainly if it were part of the steel reinforcement inside concrete in a building where special measures had been taken to insure that neither oxygen nor water would come in contact with it (as modern skyscrapers do) would persist for an exceptionally long time.

But I'm just guessing ;-)

> Why?

Because of the reported bug in this example (which I also encountered quite often):

- user hits ESCAPE

- my window gets key-down/ESCAPE and closes itself

- your window (which happens to be the next in the focus-order) gets key-up/ESCAPE and closes itself

> I also like being able to hold the key down to cue up a command and then at the right time, pull my hand away to execute crisply

Ok, but if your window wants to support this behavior (which is
not very common) you have to watch for key-up AND key-down like the
bug-report suggests.
Population is a poor proxy. San Francisco's metropolitan area isn't even top 10 by population in the US. Including Santa Clara (San Jose, Sunnyvale), put it at #10.
I like RISC-V and I like RV32E, the 16-register variant which is still 'OPEN' and not yet ratified. I think RVC is a very elegant compressed instruction approach; it can address 8 registers and is part of RV32E. RVC is far better than the Thumb or MIPS16 modes.

Yeah, I like RISC-V generally, especially the base and the vector extension. However, they really went off the rails with the Bit Manipulation Extensions [1] still in draft form. Compare bfp which mixes control + data in the same register with ARMv8 bfi. It's only been added since the 0.92 draft but it seems to me very un-RISC-like.

Who says quietism is good? Or romantic? It seems to me that the Romantic vision is of an exotic kingdom where the state and religion are a utopian whole.

Look, you can be against Orientalism without pushing nonsense like all religions just being the same under the skin. Religions are really different from each other, because they do different things in their societies. Some things are the same in all or most societies because we are all humans, but there’s also a lot of cross society diversity and you can talk about those differences by making sweeping generalizations. Yes, generalizations are simplifications and can be done poorly, but if you try to do without them, you just have to give up on understanding anything at all about humans.
Pedantry is just another distraction, obfuscation.

GP's point is the IRS is unfairly focusing on the weakest while ignoring the worst offenders. No reasonable person disputes IRS's own repeated statements to that effect.

We can only guess the motives of any one still in denial.

It seems you didn't understood my question.

I asked for any source that substantiates your claim that a pair of French tourists were responsible for 400 infections.

You said, and I quote, "The selfishness and criminal negligence of two French tourists has resulted in 400 new infections and counting".

I asked for a source that substantiates that specific claim.

Do you have any source for that assertion?

It's interesting that you contrast homelessness with the need to eat.

Everyone needs a roof over their heads, food, and occasional access to medical care. When they can't afford one of those things, it doesn't take long for them to end up on the street.

The highest-ROI way to deal with homelessness is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Without food stamps, section 8, unemployment benefits, and Medicaid, there would be an explosion of homelessness, regardless of local circumstances.

The homeless population wasn't born on the street. Most of it ended up there, because of a medical condition that was left untreated (Addiction is a medical condition), or because they couldn't afford making last month's rent.

You'd be far better off throwing resources behind healthcare, or SNAP, or section 8, or at-risk-youth-programs, compared to funding your local charity that has 4 employees and a director [1] that administers 9 temporary-shelter beds. [2]

[1] I wish I was kidding about this, but that's how a lot of small charities operate.

[2] That won't take you, if you have an addiction problem.

> This program celebrates the close connection between obfuscation and conciseness, by implementing the most concise language known, Binary Lambda Calculus (BLC).

> BLC was developed to make Algorithmic Information Theory, the theory of smallest programs, more concrete. It starts with the simplest model of computation, the lambda calculus, and adds the minimum amount of machinery to enable binary input and output.

> More specifically, it defines a universal machine, which, from an input stream of bits, parses the binary encoding of a lambda calculus term, applies that to the remainder of input (translated to a lazy list of booleans, which have a standard representation in lambda calculus), and translates the evaluated result back into a stream of bits to be output.

> Lambda is encoded as 00, application as 01, and the variable bound by the n'th enclosing lambda (denoted n in so-called De Bruijn notation) as 1^{n}0. That’s all there is to BLC!

It seems so misguided to ask Ek to share; if he distributed his 3 billion it would not materially change the lives of the millions of artists on the platform.

I think the skill sets needed are highly dependent on the type of sale. The approaches used for a cold sale and technical consultations with leads that are already qualified (demonstrated interest in a product/service) are very different.

However, I would start by taking a look into concepts like building rapport, reflective listening, and active listening. You can even look to concepts like social engineering, e.g., priming, elicitation, etc. Most, if not all of these topics, are covered in various books on persuasion/influence.

Be careful though, as you can cross the line towards manipulation really easily easily. That’s not an inherently bad thing if the user wants/needs your product. However, it’s an entirely different story if you are persuading someone to buy something they don’t want/need. For example, a person who comes to buy a car would not be taken advantage of by selling them a car within their budget. It would be taking advantage of someone to persuade them to buy something that they didn’t ask for, was more than they needed, and was more expensive than they could afford.

Another example is the use of the principle of scarcity. While companies/people routinely pressure people into sales via statements like, “I can give this to you for 10% off, but your contract needs to be signed within 5 days due to our end of quarter goals” (yeah, I’m looking at you, Salesforce). The issue here, is that A) Chances are, they’re lying and you could get the same deal on day 6, and/or B) pressuring a customer, in my opinion, is a bit too close to making a light threat intended to spur anxiety in a customer. Everyone has their own levels of moral flexibility, though.

Anyways, I digress. Here are a couple of book recommendations: “Influence” by Robert Cialdini, “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie, and “Never Split the Difference” by Chris Voss.
I'm a developer who hated sales and was pushed into it because all the other members of the team were developers who hated it more than I did.

Some great tactical recommendations have been made here, but the author who got me to re-think what sales was and to see it as honourable and helpful was Zig Ziggler.

His books are old-school, but reading them will make you enjoy selling.

I'd recommend "Secrets of Closing the Sale" to start, but all of his early work is good. His later books get a bit self-helpy.

I can tell you what's missing: a POPCOUNT instruction.

Yes, there is one in the proposed "B" extension. Not good enough: it won't be in the smaller chips, or even in the biggest ones for a good while.

But the article is interesting in noting all the stuff that we just don't see when we buy a gadget. The amount of sheer engineering effort that goes into real products that millions of people rely on is stunning. It takes a very large amount of actual money changing hands to generate the amount of invisible effort that is needed to support the things we use every day. The lack of that expenditure will make RISC-V adoption much slower than we might otherwise expect.
I expect app stores to ban apps (or at least ban reviews) that manipulate reviews.

The ISA design has very little impact on actual energy consumption rather than an actual CPU's uArch. This is a conception that hasn't been true for at least 20 years.

It was somewhat true in the days where memory was expensive, and so smaller instructions were a good idea. But this came at the cost of increased area and thus energy (since you need more decoding logic).

As time went on, transistors shrank, so this cost kept decreasing; at the same time, memory got better and we developed techniques to hide the latency more, so the upside also kept decreasing.

Ultimately in modern times any difference in ISA results in some ~1% difference in energy consumption. You would gain far more efficiency (on the order of 2.5x) in just designing your uArch in a better way-- say, in-order vs OoO. [1]

In my opinion, the reason CISC vs. RISC is still very alive today is because ARM has done a fabulous job in marketing and executing itself as energy efficient. The big.Little architectures are an example in cementing this idea.

Conversely, Intel has done a similarly fabulous job in marketing and executing itself as performant, allowing both companies to live happily in their respective areas. The introduction of hyperthreading is another example of pushing this edge.

But these design decisions are NOT ISA intrinsic, and these misconceptions are changing incredibly fast (though I think ARM is doing a much better job than Intel at changing these paradigms).

The way US taxes generally work is that you don't provide the transaction-level details to the IRS when you file your taxes, just the aggregate. You only provide the transaction-level details if and when you are asked to during an audit.
