Recovering energy from industrial waste heat would still be a good idea, regardless of the source of the outside power. The only question is if there is a different strategy to improve efficiency that would have a better cost/benefit ratio.

There may just be no other reasonable way to recover energy from some processes, and in that case building a heat recovery power plant is probably a good idea.
Jokes aside, I doubt this. If you sing a song in your range on pitch, it'll probably sound OK. Maybe not amazing singer good, but a lot of rock singers aren't "good" singers, they're just good enough to get a good take.

If you're curious, record yourself and put it in Melodyne.
I think the problem is it becomes a way to bribe/exploit poorer people.

I've always liked the idea of mandatory civil service; one option being the military. Having family in the military and being exposed elsewhere, it's interesting to get a closer view of the parts of government we pay for, like missile silos or aircraft carriers, but often put into a black box. I would hope it would make people more civically aware and engaged. I've been curious about contributing to something like 18F or US Digital Service. Do any countries do this?

In passing your math looks correct but I don't think that's the right way to assess the resolution of the system here.

The sample rate has a fixed spacing. Each sample will have some amplitude. Your ear reconstructs the sinusoid from these discreet samples.

In general, as long as we're well below the Nyquist frequency (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist_frequency) the question (AFAIK) is how much jitter exists in the horizontal (time) and vertical (amplitude) directions. The tone will need to go on long enough for any noise in the system to average out relative to the size of the difference that you want to detect. This is addressed (IIUC) by the Fourier uncertainty principle.

On the hardware side of things, I'd naively expect modern systems to have very low jitter in both dimensions. However, I fully expect the human side of things is significantly more complicated. An article from 2013 describes research purporting to show that humans exceed the Fourier uncertainty principle (apparently through some sort of nonlinear biological wizardry) by more than ten fold. (https://phys.org/news/2013-02-human-fourier-uncertainty-prin...)
This is not true. And even if you average the safest cities in America with the most dangerous ones, they are still in the top 15 most deadly jobs. They're also highly prone to suffer injury, PTSD, and mental trauma from what they see on the job.
I've always had a sharp sense for relative tones - whether two notes are the same, or I can even tell specifically what interval they are, usually - but despite having played organized music for eight years of my life I'm hopeless at telling you what note a tone or chord actually is (or what key something is in). Zero indication whatsoever.

I do have a friend who can do that, though. You press the Bb key on a piano and he'll tell you it's a Bb and that it's slightly out of tune on the sharp end. It's amazing.
I don't think beheading anyone, even a noble who benefited from serfdom, is an outcome we should all praise. Such beliefs will only lead to another horrible period of murder and senseless violence.
Prepping for the colonoscopy is worse than the procedure itself. Get a good doctor, the risks are low but not 0 and, of course, you can google up the worst outcomes. A dear neighbor was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer at 45 years old and departed us at 49.
Finnish person here. Disagree, as you end up with a much smaller army at a higher maintenance cost.

From a pure defense perspective, nothing beats a conscription system in efficiency. Here in Finland (population about 5,5 million) we have a reserve army of 900,000 people. With a pure salary army, it could be maybe 2-5% of that.

Cons: takes 6-12 months away from your life. But my and virtually anyone I know has the opinion is that it is also a very valuable life experience and I carry many lifelong friends from that time period.

It's definitionally never too early if you consider "???" as a valid business model.

I often tell people that Facebook's early business was an "underpants gnomes model". ie, it was:

Step 1: Acquire lots of users

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Profit!

But that this model was actually enormously useful to Facebook because it brought alignment over what to focus on and what not to focus on and where there were areas of high certainty and where there was, intentionally, areas of low certainty.

A business model of "???" is a valid and useful business model because it tells people that we know that we do not know anything about the business model yet and this is an intentional choice and we are aware of it. The key is, even if it is "???", you still need to write it down and have everyone agree that this is, indeed, the business model right now.
>people just die and you have no idea why your relatives have died

This system actually has advantages. From an outside perspective, it seems like Americans spend an awful lot of time in doctor's offices and obsessing over health issues (a strange way to spend one's life), when the end result will be the same.
What users are going to notice? Browsers and almost everything else is going to fallback to TCP and move on, because there are too many broken networks to bother.

Kind of like how most big sites clamp TCP MSS at 1440 instead of 1460; there's too many PPPoE or IPIP tunneled links with broken path mtu, and too many clients without working/enabler path mtu blackhole detection to bother making a fuss about it. Just move on and cry on the inside.
It takes 10-15 minutes for a regular colonoscopy, for such short time, does the side effect of anesthesia actually comparable to the "major surgery" that can easily last 5-10 hours you mentioned?

This seems to me a reflex of the times. Billionaires are celebrated as if they're making some great benefit the world, instead of pushing their monopolies around to make as much money as possible without regard for the law, as in the late 19th century. See how people seem to oppose the break up of Google, which would be a benefit for everyone.

That idea will probably bring him to bankruptcy immediately... I'm not expert in the industry but apparently hand-draw animations as an industry are in a serious dump. The animators are seriously overworked and underpaid, especially in japan, so much so that the majority of it nowadays are already being outsourced to places like India and Indonesia.

Just so you're aware, it's a limitation within Firefox and Private mode - not Bitwarden.

```

The Bitwarden browser extension does not completely function in Firefox’s private browsing mode. This is a known issue specific only to Firefox. You will see a message indicating so when you try to open the Bitwarden popup window in a private window. We have discussed the problem with Mozilla, however, they seem unable to fix it so that extensions like Bitwarden can function entirely in private mode.

>"It would be better" if someone designed it from the beginning with current applications in mind. But if anyone actually did that back in 1980, they wouldn't have been successful

Strongly disagree. Although x86 was dominant on desktop PCs with MS DOS, Nintendo Entertainment System used MOS 6502 which is a lighter version of m68000, while Sega Mega Drive used a full blown m68000. Apple II desktop also used MOS 6502, HP used PA-RISC for their HP-UX servers, and Sun replaced their 68000s with SPARC in late 80-s. Alpha achitecture was so successfull there was a Windows NT port for this achitecture. So it wasn't really game over as of 80s, and even in 90s the market was still diverse. It's only by 00s x86 together with Windows NT series achieved total dominance, even in small server segment.

>So I guess the point is that technology adoption proceeds by evolution, and trying to plan 10 or 20 years ahead of time never works

Right conclusion - wrong reasoning. Quality of product is never a main driver of sales. That's why to succeed you need to market it first and then elaborate some way to make it usable. That's where, for example, Motorolla, Alpha, MIPS failed, and that's where ARM won as an umbrella brand for actually 4 incompatible architectures (original ARM, AArch32, AArch64, and Thumb a.k.a. SuperH).
I started walking for at least 30 minutes every morning before work, and it has become a habit during this pandemic. I realized that the best ideas of solving problems came from this little exercise. Subsequently, I’ve learned to start tapping away on my phone so I can capture these ideas before I lose them since there are too many to remember well.
In RL/DL context any CogSci developments after 1943 is the state of the art.

Some interesting recent work [1] related to Gardenfors ideas was combining them with discovery of place & grid cells, and extending the "cognitive maps" and spatial navigation machinery into concept spaces, treating the innate coordinate system as foundation for abstraction and generalization facilities.

And they actually found empirical data to prove it in [1] and related papers, so Gardenfors was right.

I believe it gotta be the starting point for anyone seriously considering an AI, kind of like Cartesian foundation. It also aligns nicely with rich "distributional semantics" work and popular vector space models.

Why was this downvoted? I feel this is very true. Having worked a few years in a corporate environment, suits and ties, especially higher up the management chain, are almost exclusively about self promotion, bullshitting, and smoke and mirrors. Throw them out into the wild and they wouldn't have a single idea of how to make a living or business except to get another job with their bs skills.

Only wierd part of this is the comment of how "children dream of"
Defense is much cheaper than offense.

The fact that other countries appear to spend less on defense does not mean that they are unprepared.

Americans spend a lot of money on a corrupt pharmaceutical industries, and they have bad healthcare.

Americans spend a lot of money on a corrupt education systems, and have stupid people.

Americans spend a lot of money on a corrupt war industry, and they have a lot of rusting 1950s tanks, planes, and missiles.

Without being tested, who knows if anyone actually has good defense?

It requires thinking and testing, not mindlessly throwing money at charlatans.

6to4 could've been released to billions of users, with no cooperation from the ISPs, just by home router manufacturers adding a few lines of code (maybe a few dozen, for health checking.)

Applications would still need to change, but apps change a lot faster than ISPs.

6to4 died because it was never the primary mode of addressing. Performance between 2002::/16 and the rest of IPv6 relied on anycast, which was unpredictable and therefore useless for real traffic.

heh, probably - the hard part is the code that's hacking the stack pointer and return address on the stack out from underneath you when they do a context switch (rather than V7's C-standard setjmp()/longjmp() semantics). That part needs diagrams.

The easier part I was trying to explain was the meaning of the SSWAP and the return(1) which effectively bring you back somewhere different returning a 1 where another routine returns a 0 (a bit like setjmp/longjmp) - this routine when called to do a context switch usually doesn't return anything
This game is _hard_, but definitely fun and worth getting into if you like realistic sims.
Why is military spending always defined as relative to GDP and not to total tax income, where the actual money is coming from?

Because that’s how NATO defines it, such that each member makes a proportional contribution. It would be silly to expect say Estonia to match Germany in real terms, but it’s reasonable to expect Germany to match say Poland in relative terms.

(Yes I know Sweden is not a NATO member but most European countries are so it makes sense to compare like with like)
I just lost my mother-in-law to cancer. It's just a few years ago it was my father-in-law (also cancer). And a three other family member within the last ten years. Definitely was the case for the most recent three that it was discovered much much too late. I cannot advise strongly enough to have even the minor thing check and checked again.

In the case of my MIL, the biopsy first came back as a fungus which we _now_ know was an impossibility.

Like so many other commenters, I had my scheduled colonoscopy and it was a walk in the part except drinking that horribly disgusting prep liquid. That was gross, but I've probably had worse in my young and very stupid years.
> For sure! My first colonoscopy I was sedated and enjoyed watching the screen. In fact, I remember I was making HILARIOUS jokes the entire time. I could not remember them afterwards though. My second colonoscopy my doctor sedated me again, but put me further under for reasons that remain a mystery.

It was the 15th time that week he'd heard the "rectum, damn near killed them" joke and he didn't feel he needed another aspiring comedian on the operating table.
other replies have pointed to costs but I just want to reiterate the last point that in our particular German case the principle behind it is the "Staatsbürger in Uniform" (citizen in uniform), the idea is to kind of precisely get some people into the military who wouldn't naturally want to go there, because those are the people who can provide crucial oversight over military processes, and prevent the miltary from being purely professional.

This is because serving in the military is a civic duty, not just a sort of commercial service. The military is not just supposed to be a hired group of fighters.

I’m not sure how much you have read up on the French Revolution but the murder and decapitation of Marie Antoinette along with thousands of other people did not solve any problems. This is why all modern democracies do not rely on violence to solve political differences. The Directory is about the worst possible outcome for a revolution you can imagine.
This is a perfect explanation why many political positions could be akin jury duty. What if the mayor election would be among 4 randomly picked citizens?

Assuming the population remains mortal, there will be a steady stream of vacant positions at the top and plenty of room for individual growth, even without overall economic growth.
The SBB is indeed amazing. Trains are in pristine condition, second class is first class or business class by most other countries standards, the toilets are clean and functional aboard any train I’ve ever taken with stocked water soap and paper (hello sncf, no water or soap or light even during the epidemics), the trains are ON TIME (like to the minute on time), they’re incredibly quiet, all long distance trains have internet, you get service to your seat (in first, and before the virus), the fare system is integrated between all trains and any city’s bus/streetcar (meaning you can buy one ticket for them all no matter which city you’re going from and to), and their phone application is also great. Not to mention the 165.- Halbtax card which gives you 50% off all trains and lower fares on every municipal transit system (and most mountain trains). Oh and I almost forgot the supersaver tickets which cost between 15 and 30% of a full fare if you buy up to a few days in advance for trains that are low occupancy (first class of often cheaper than second for that reason)

I don’t think the « US is bigger do costs more » holds. Switzerland is incredibly mountainous and train go through countless tunnels that require significant engineering and time to build (look up the Gothard tunnel, one of the longest tunnels in the world through a mountain to connect Italian Switzerland with German Switzerland).

Oh and Swiss trains go 120–200+ km/h on most of the network vs 90 tops (I think?) for US trains.

Not to mention additional perks like the FAIRTIQ app where you basically get on any form of public transport in Switzerland or Lichtenstein, slide a button on your phone when you get on the first transport of your journey, and again when you get off the last, and it will automatically charge you the most advantageous and cheapest fare it can find at the end of the day (and convert to a daily ticket if that’s better because you made several trips ins city you know nothing about the bus tickets)

SBB also offers services like picking up your luggage for you at home, putting them in your train for you, and delivering them to your destination. All you have to do is get on and off the train and not think about it.

Or the plan where you get unlimited train for a year (1st or 2nd class) and a Tesla in every city. As in drive a Tesla from home to the train station, leave the Tesla there, get on a train, pickup another Tesla at your destination, drive it around, and return it to the station when you’re done to go back home and pick the other one back up. It’s not cheap but it’s amazing when you think about it.

But any country that refuses to let the government coordinate the building and operating of the infrastructure (I.e. the network) won’t ever be able to get there. These projects are long term and cost a lot of money so it’s very hard for private companies with short term profitability horizons to make it happen.

High speed rail generally goes a bit faster than 300km/h. At that speed a lot of things are less than 4 hours away. Chicago is a bit less than 4 hours from NYC at that speed, as is Seattle from San Francisco. San Francisco to Seattle is obviously not a great candidate for a high speed rail line because it doesn't pass through much of interest, but it gives a good sense of the scale.
