In a situation like this that hits the entire economy at all levels, almost the whole of society needs bailing out to at least some degree. The impact is across the economy, and the costs will be born across the economy and the government as insurer of last resort has a legitimate role to play in that.

What simplistic 'screw the rich' takes like this miss is that no actually many of these people are not by any reasonable measure rich, and even for 'the rich' what we're largely talking about really is businesses which most of us work for directly or indirectly, and what hurts them very often hurts us.

So to me the socialist 'screw the rich' rhetoric is rubbish because it's economically illiterate, and the dog eat dog radical capitalist take that the poor are all lazy losers is equally ignorant and harmfull. The reality is we're all in this together, society imposes responsibilities on it's citizens and in return owes them obligations, or vice versa depending how you look at it. Blaming everything on some other group is just putting up obstacles to finding actual workable solutions.

> People find joy in discovering weird facts.

I might be being pedantic, but I think of it a little differently. We don't even need to grace these collective nouns with words like fact for them to still be fun. There isn't really a 'fact of the matter' as to whether there's really such a thing as a 'parliament of owls'; it's just a fuzzy matter of adoption in the English language.

I think of it more like knowledge of your favourite TV show, or fiction book. There's a sense in which it's 'real knowledge', and a sense in which it's not, but the point isn't for it to be useful.
> 90% of the incentive to watch live a car racing event is to get to hear the roaring sounds

Modern F1 cars are quite silent. I went to a Grand Prix last year, and the loudest trackside noise I heard all weekend was the sound of punctured tyres slapping against the road when the drivers were limping it to the pits.

F2 engines were a bit louder, but not by much. Ear protection was not needed.

Formula E sounds kinda cool in its own way, the sound is like some sci-fi space craft from the Star Wars universe passing by.
Minecraft's java version has (or had, back when I played it) noticeable stutter issues (not necessarily caused by the gc). The Bedrock version (written in C++) is much smoother in comparison. The Java version is only for pc/linux/mac. Bedrock is used for modern consoles and mobile. I believe they also had a separate C++ code base for older consoles.

> Given how scarce entropy sources tend to be, it always torqued me a bit that if I want to simulate a dice roll I had to grab a whole float worth of data from the entropy source instead of something smaller.

Grabbing a float worth of data and reducing it to a dice roll is no different from getting the bits for the dice roll directly. Entropy doesn't decrease just by getting bits from an RNG, it decreases by an attacker learning what those bits are.

If you throw away bits without looking at them, an attacker doesn't get to look at them either, so entropy doesn't decrease. Otherwise, running an RNG in a loop would decrease entropy all the way to zero (meaning its values become fully predictable) no matter what you do with the output. But RNGs that are actually used have a finite state space they cycle through. Completing a full (long) cycle returns to the original state and how could entropy decrease between two identical states?

Entropy measures how hard it is for an external observer to predict the next random value. If you run an RNG for a full cycle and tell someone all the values, then they can perfectly predict the next cycle just by looking at their recording (entropy is zero). But if you don't let them know anything, they're none the wiser (entropy remains unchanged).

> we don’t generate 1-6 via division, we generate it by multiplying a random number between 0.0 and 1.0 times 6 and add a 1

You can do that, but you don't get each value with the same probability. E.g. if the floating point type can represent eight values between 0.0 and 1.0, you might think that's enough, since you only need six, but actually

>>> [1+int((i/8.)*6) for i in range(8)]
[1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6]

1 and 4 end up twice as likely as other numbers.

Double precision floating point numbers have enough different possibilities for this effect not to matter much, but if you want to eliminate it completely, you need to detect it, reject the current value and generate a new one. That extra check may be implemented using a division, but can be optimized (thus "nearly divisionless").

This is actually what I find extremely dishonest (which is, in other words, extremely good marketing) - a lot of websites are comparing the 3080 with the 2080, and reporting massive improvements... which doesn't make much sense.

I think 3080 vs 2080 Ti is the only possible comparison, but websites should make it very clear that it's an unfair comparison.

Probably the only comparison that actually makes sense is the (future) 3070 vs 2080 Ti. I'm not suprised that Nvidia pushed the release (it was supposed to be released earlier).

I think that there is a decent chance this might happen. If at the highest decision making levels we finally start taking global warming seriously, this kind of move makes a lot of sense. Similarly, we are moving towards a situation where the majority opinion could actually turn against ICEs.

It seems highly forward thinking to me. There are big barriers sure, but there are also some really big forces that will be pushing this. There are also some relevant tipping points that might happen, where it makes sense to make electric the default just because so many other things are already electric.

It’s only too much work for an editor to do if you insist they don’t get paid, and maintain the same standards as at present. Full time editors who accept and reject, without revise and resubmit would be much faster and able to deal with many more papers. If twice as many useless papers get published as now that’s a very small price to pay. There are other possible models of editorial review but that’s one.

I don' get how this works. How exactly do you put the squares together?

Stacking them (even with rotations by mutlplies of pi/2) will not detect the case when every edge has the same kind of deviation from the straight line, right?

Putting them edge to edge will assure every edge is straight and the same length (within observation limits) but may get you a rhombus which is not a square.

Do you somehow iteratively combine both of the above?

Hailing from a place which experiences 200+ ug/m3 of PM 2.5 each season it's hard for me to tell what sort of mixture of fog and smog we are having on a given day - they vary only slightly in colour.

But smog definitely significantly reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the ground and that can be felt.

In the limit, that’s arithmetic decoding (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_coding).

An intuitively simple way (but likely not the way this is done in real life) to do this is

- treat your stream of random bits as a binary float F in [0,1)

- when you need an integer in [0,n), do:
F = nF # F is in [0,n) now
r = floor(F) # desired integer in [0,n)
F = F - r # restores the invariant that F is in [0,1)
return r

Since F is infinitely long, you have to do this lazily. You can cheat by only do the multiplication up to the bits you need now*, and fill in others by random bits later (that’s an error in the multiplication, but doesn’t matter for this algorithm)

Nah, diesel gate was 2009. The idea for supplying engines to F1 was after Porsche retired from LMP1 in 2017 or 2018. Afaik the idea was to substitute LMP1 for the outrageous costs involved(despite their 3 consecutive world titles) and put the effort into building F1 engines.
> Near the Washington Post article's end: "Throughout the trial, AT&T lawyers had argued that this "dismemberment" would hurt the nation's telephone network by raising prices to consumers and resulting in a deterioration of the phone system the nation depends on for defense communications and other emergency situations..."

Excuse or not, this technically is true and it is possible things like this happen.

...but! Entry cost for telephony then (=building a whole new, alternative telephone network) is so expensive, that it's unrealistic to build one, except maybe in places with such population density, that the cost of new wiring is offset by the number of new customers in a small area.

Compared to pulling new telephone cables for the whole country, making a new social network is very fast and cheap (apparently, takes 13(?) employees in case of instagram), and allows a slow-start (run the network on one $5 virtual machine, then get another, and another, then have issues with scaling and technical debt, but slowly fix stuff when money pours in), which means that even if facebook fails horribly after the breakup, 'someone new' will fill the gap.

Some key limitations to keep in mind from the study:

> The contact tracing data analyzed included only 20% of all reported cases as index cases and represented only 19% of all contacts traced

So the observations, while important, are probably just part of a more complex picture.

> Another limitation was the lack of data on timing of exposure and symptoms onset in relation to testing dates; this necessitated assumptions about identification of true index cases.

This is important: some cases may not be "true positives" in the sense that the PCR test alone does not tell if you have the disease, or had the disease if you did not develop symptoms. Given the size of the population tested, admittedly doing that is difficult.

> Finally, while comorbidities data collected as part of COVID-19 mortality surveillance revealed clinical and epidemiological attributes of fatal cases, the fact that such data were not collected for all diagnosed cases prevented inference of the contribution of comorbidities to fatal outcomes.
I don't even get why you would Sleep() in such a scenario. If you want to fire every 1ms, wouldn't you use an actual timer? Like one of SetTimer/SetThreadpoolTimer/CreateTimerQueueTimer/timeSetEvent/CreateWaitableTimer maybe? Why would you rely on Sleep() for periodicity?

The concept of buying from the farmer next door doesn't only encapsulate less distance (meaning less time and fewer chances for the cold chain to be broken), but also an element of trust.

You can view the facilities, and make a judgement about the cleanliness -- as you might in a restaurant before considering the beef tartare -- and you have likely been buying from this farmer for some time.
I've heard people use the two rebuttals — but America's bigger; but America's more diverse — to justify many of America's failings. They're effective, not because they are clearly correct, but because a good counter to them requires answers to many difficult-to-answer questions:

How does a large population affect policy? How much do economies of scale make things easier? How much does bureaucracy make things harder?

What does diversity mean? How much is in the eye of the beholder?

To what extent does diversity cause division? To what extent does diversity spark innovation?

In addition to these questions, the debate entails comparisons and contrasts of nations, most of which you hasn't visited. You end up trading pairs of statistics, without intimate knowledge of their correctness and equivalence.

For such reasons, I just avoid arguing about size and diversity. I'd have to write a book to provide a solid answer.

>>this is a civil case. this is not criminal. there is no police.

That is in theory. In reality people in power have more than sufficient means to intimidate you and bring you trouble.

>>the onus is on the company to go to court and do this. And this gets rejected. because indian courts have rejected non-competes as a matter of policy.

That is if you decide to stay put despite all this for years and fight it out. Also note I myself pointed out most companies won't bother with this. Because they often have bigger fish to fry.

>>I would suggest you recheck the ground reality.

Would give you the same advice. In fact just try walking into the city civil court in Bangalore and see for yourself how it works there. Many times the advocate has to plan the exact statements to speak, write them down on paper and quickly spit them out in front of the Judge, because there is no time. The Judge himself is generally swamped and has to listen to dozens of cooked property litigation cases everyday. Your case will go sandwiched some where in between, and it will keep accumulating dates and legal fees until you give up. Long before that your will power will run out.

If you are an individual wanting to fight a company that's taking you to court for non-compete stuff the company lawyer will show up do the routine. You have to take leave from your job and deal with all these court hassles. Might as well for your own sanity give up.

Look man I get it, you are trying to sell India in a predominantly US forum. But seriously, none of what you are saying works. In fact not even remotely close.
Literally all of those methods will only wake up at the system's timer interval at the earliest - if that happens to be 16ms, there is nothing you can do to sleep/wait less than 16ms. Even WaitForObject calls can only wait for the minimum equal to the system's timer resolution.

> "concurrency", nowadays, refers to the apparatus and overhead involved in coordinating parallel activity

Are you saying "highly concurrent" would mean "lots of unnecessary overhead"? I strongly dispute that is the widely accepting meaning.

My understanding of concurrency vs parallelism (this is also the definition implicit in the article):

* Parallel: n processes running on n physical processors

* Concurrent: n processes running on m≤n (possibly m=1) physical processors due to preemptive or cooperative multitasking (the latter is common in async frameworks). (Edit: Changed m<n to m≤n. To be clear: parallelism is a type of concurrency.)

A system with a lot of concurrency might not have any parallelism but still have less overhead than a parallel system e.g. in the case the processes are IO bound rather than CPU bound and need to communicate between each other a lot.
