> E.g. having a dedicated pictogram for various base physics quantities (e.g. for mass, length, time, etc).

What if you have two different lengths, one being the distance between two objects and the other being the position of the center of mass over time? What about their two masses? And, in relativity, their two proper times?

Now you're back to using subscripts and the Latin alphabet because what better way to describe the precise object you're talking about in a given language (here: English) than the language itself?

I'm simply stating that raising them to eat is better than just gassing them immediately. If you're against eating meat as a principle then it's probably pretty useless. But eating the less wanted meat or produce really helps preventing pollution through overproduction of food that is never eaten.

There are many people that think it's more ethical to kill a cow just for it's meat than to eat the meat of a horse, which is never bred just for it's meat.

Both capon and horse meat are tastier than chicken and veal.

Unless the chickens are kept after they finish laying eggs, no commercial egg laying is no kill. Most battery or free range hens are killed (or if they're lucky, rescued for home use) at a year old as they approach their first moult.

The argument regarding intelligence is that the type of intelligence which humans show is rare on Earth as a evolutionary strategy. Other highly intelligent animals do not seem close to even the first steps of space exploration. Perhaps a better term than intelligence is 'culture'.

The fact that human abilities are very limited in some ways supports this. For most evolutionary branches it was a much better strategy to develop excellent eyesight, hearing, running or fighting than to trade off mediocre ones against a sort of general-purpose intelligence and communication skills.

> What population size and density do you need to keep a language alive?

IMHO, the answer depends more on the lifestyle than on the number of speakers. As long as everyone lives in a homogenous community along with their grandparents and parents, the new generations learn the language. When people move to larger towns where the majority speaks a dominant language, their children at best speak the minority language at home while the grandchildren rarely acquire it at all, and its death is imminent. Anecdotal evidence follows.

* Manx. In 1874: 16,200 speakers (30% of the population of the Isle of Man); in 1974: last native speaker dies. [0]

* Belarusian. In 1999: 36.7% of Belarusian citizens spoke it at home; in 2009: 11.9%. [1] Remarkably, it is better preserved among the Belarusian minority in Poland which is concentrated in a few rural communes.

* Lower Sorbian in Germany. In the 1880s: 70 thousand; in the 1990s: 7 thousand; around 2010: 2 thousand. Folk dances, costumes, and customs will outlast it like an empty shell outlasts its resident.

Human ethics are tricky :-)

There's a lot more at play than just killing vs not killing. Some types of killing may be acceptable, and some may not. For example meat-eaters, which as you pointed, effectively kill animals, may disagree with other ways of killing - for example movies production or fur coats.

The most interesting case I've heard about this subject is in the movie Cannibal Holocaust. Among the other animals, two monkeys have been killed for script purposes, however, they have been eaten afterwards. Which are the ethics of this killing? There's no absolute answer¹

My dream laptop would be an iPad Pro 12.9 with a Magic Keyboard and M1 chip which could run both full screen iOS apps and full Mac OSX. In a perfect world it would have an extra USB-C port too.

But to be honest, just a regular macbook with a touchscreen would be great now. I've had enough of people trying to use my Macbook at work, prodding the screen to try and scroll down, then trying and failing to do the two finger scroll gesture on the touchpad.
That wikipedia article is very outdated. For example, the two most common offers in Spain are symmetric 100mbps and 600mbps FTTH.

The most important player indebted itself with ~50k million € and it's basically replacing all the copper coverage with FTTH.

Other HFC players are turning into FTTH too, as HFC won't be able to compete with +600mbps FTTH offerings, and symmetry is more and more valued over time.

Also, I don't have the figures at hand, but the coverage in Spain is extraordinary. FTTH is reaching places that barely had 3mbps ADSL, and it's probably going to cover places that had nothing in the long run.

Public money is paying for capital costs in places that would be impossible to make a profit otherwise, but still the main obstacle are municipalities and nimbys.

I've seen some pretty stupid stuff, like blocking FTTH deployment in historical centers under aesthetic concerns, where they already have ugly copper wires in the facades. In reality what those municipalities expect is ISP to bury the cables and pay for the whole renovation of such streets, which no one in his right mind will. So this people will not have FTTH unless their municipalities change their mind, but they blame ISPs.

Yes, they will, because there is an amount of meaning embedded in the graphical shape of the emoji used whereas there is none for a greek/chirillic/phoenician/etc. character.

But the real solution is to not limit names to a single character.

Well, as a simple example, you can't efficiently plow or mechanically harvest lots of land which are very small or have a weird shape. If you aggregate them, it becomes much more efficient.

Same thing goes for purchasing equipment or supplies, you can buy in bulk for a large farm.

Modern farms ARE factories.
PayPal started accepting Bitcoin, Square bought a lot of Bitcoin, some UK startup bought a ton, stuff like that.

Honestly, as a Bitcoin adopter very early on (2011ish), I'll say that Bitcoin's value is over. Ethereum too, or rather any decentralized currency. Governments don't like crypto, they don't like the anonymity it provides, so they'll find other ways to starve it. Making it a speculative investment is one such way. Shutting Down Silk Road was another. Shutting down the Dark Web sites might yet be another. Or (gasp!), creating their own legal cryptocurrency that is universal, mandated by banks to use for transactions, with some form of tracking, etc. As someone on another thread mentioned, there's nothing stopping a government from holding a gun to your head and demanding you to give away all of your crypto. Now one may suggest exchanging it for fiat, but that's a really long and cumbersome process, which will often come with significant scrutiny (as happened in my case).
And then you have our case here in Sweden [1] with a thought out plan to roll out broadband to the whole country as a strategic need.

The infrastructure is public and leased to private companies, avoiding the tragedy that happens in the US where laying down cables is the most expensive part and which shuns away competition, leaving with oligopolies where each company got their turf and that increases the barrier of entry significantly.

> Jane Street's hiring standards exceeds FAANG's.

As someone who has interviewed thrice and passed once, I disagree. Jane Street is extremely good at marketing themselves; before I ever worked there I received over $500 worth of "swag" (including a free iPad) just for attending talks and hiring events. The official recruiting strategy is grassroots where recruiters have anonymous reddit/hn/blind accounts to praise the company semi-anonymously. So you have a bunch of accounts posing as real employees or students talking up the company and the prestige of working there.

They sell exclusivity and mystery, but they definitely pay top of market salaries. I don't personally believe the actual interviews are any harder than top FAANG companies but they did seem to recruit exclusively from FAANG and/or top engineering schools.
To be clear the comeback would be online. It’s also interesting that they plan to sell through Amazon as well.

Although I liked visiting humongous Fry’s stores more, for me the appeal for these stores was to see cool stuff in person and try it out.
I don't see a problem here that needs solving as bad as the article suggests.

It's comforting to see something is happening and things are moving forward.
Why are you back here? It's dead. It doesn't matter.
Most of the engineers at Jane Street aren't touching anything similar to this challenge so you'd be right.
I had a C# project that was too slow and used too much RAM.

I can attest that structs use less memory however IIRC they don't have methods so no GetHashCode() which made them way too slow to insert in a HashSet or Dictionary.

In the end I used regular objects in a Dictionary. RAM usage was a bit higher than structs (not unbearably so) but speed improvement was massive.

[0] https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/hypocrisy (Lexico powered by Oxford)

If you mean to say there are no people that consider themselves to be hypocrites, then I would have to disagree: there are plenty of people who try, fail, and continue to keep trying to not be hypocritical. However, if you mean to say that hypocrisy is something that we almost always hear about when someone applies it to another, then I understand what you are trying to say.

I think I also understand what you mean by choosing to look at things using the lens / identifying a person’s action as a contradiction as opposed to hypocritical in that the former is an observation and the latter is an observation and a judgment/conclusion that may or may not have the full context/complexity taken into account.
I have a ticket open for 1 year. They have escalated the issue several times, but no real answer. In the meantime the ticket could be declared invalid because they have changed the implementation but they haven't even done that. Shows that their ticket process is not working. Even worse, the underlying problem is unfixed, they have not updated the kernel for C1 instances for 2.5 years and there is no supported way to run your own one. So they keep charging for an unsupported product (if customers are stupid enough to pay...). They seem to have not enough technical staff and they prioritize new development over support. They are cheap for non-critical use, but I would not trust them for anything business-relevant.
I don't use apple products but I think the high price of a workstation is not something specific to Apple.

From a discussion I had with a friend recently, I found that Precision workstations from Dell or Z workstations from HP have similar prices for similar performances (sometime prices can reach 40k or 70k dollars).

When comparing Mac Pro to an enthusiast pc build, yes the mac pro is "overpriced", but the mac pro is using a Xeon which is pricier than a ryzen (even if performance wise it's inferior) and a pro gpu which also cost more than consumer gpu (again, even if performance is inferior). The price of a nvidia quadro is always higher than a Geforce gpu with the same specs.

You can see a spec/price comparison I did when having the discussion with my friend here : https://mega.nz/file/Nj4UnSJR#fBdZfn3zoZ8boxap35-GWEgDlicH3R...

> Let’s say however, that your doctor actually lied to you – everything is not okay. Perhaps they lied for your own good; because they don’t know what will happen to you or what to do about it; or perhaps they lied for monetary gain. But does the reason really matter? The inherent doctor-patient trust has been broken and we fervently and unequivocally condemn deceit of any kind in the medical field.

Yes, of course it matters! Suppose there was a rare form of brain cancer that could only kill you if you found out you had it. In that case we would rapidly rethink what medical ethics requires of doctors. Surely it would not be beyond the pale to argue that a doctor is not only ethically in the clear to not tell you that you had this form of cancer, but in fact might have a moral obligation not to tell you.

This is exactly the position some people believe that economists are in vis-à-vis markets. Markets are basically dumb amalgamations of human choices and sometimes react to information pathologically. According to the argument, certain people have an obligation to project confidence in the market if that will lead to better outcomes, even if logically the market should start ignoring you if it expects that you'd lie.

I don't know whether I buy the argument or not, but it's certainly not stupid!

They could, but they don't, because they wouldn't understand a thing. So in practice, I think the situation is reversed: there are more people in China who watch US news than people in the US who watch Chinese news.

Chinese being difficult to learn has nothing to do with the current discussion. And the wealth of symbols of chinese script is beneficial to mathematical notation where names are forced to be single character. They are descriptive and diverse which cannot be said about latin or greek letters. But they are foreign to westerners.

The real issue is forcing names to be of single character lenght.
this is hilarious :)

He's right. Western Europe heavily imports laborers from Eastern Europe, Turkey and North Africa for many crops. Germany opened its borders at the height of the first Covid-19 wave to allow workers from Romania to come, when Romania was a hot bed for Covid-19.

Many Western countries are self sufficient agriculturally and they are huge exporters.

Lol, it's not a side effect.

Huff Post and Amnesty Intl tend to lean liberal, which means butting heads with the current Hindu nationalist government and its agenda. As a very recent example, the Netflix kissing scene between a Muslim boy and a Hindu girl generated great outrage within the ruling party, and was covered with great disdain (or not covered) by most local media, and once things got dicey, international media began covering it, albeit by taking a stance opposite to the government.

Another way to do it is by borrowing bitcoin with other collateral, selling it, then buying it back at a cheaper price. You can get a sense of rates here: https://defirate.com/loans/

So you might supply USDC on Aave and borrow WBTC. You can then trade that WBTC for USD (if you're bearish on BTC relative to USD), wait for the WBTC price to drop, buy it back and repay your loan.

Though if you're wealthy enough to trade the futures, it's taxed more favorably and easier to manage.
Some people pay more than 20% tax. At 50% tax the savings look pretty good.
This idea of "prosocial" lying is a problem in just about every field where experts are supposed to provide policy advice. Everybody who takes part in it thinks they're doing good, but all it achieves is that people stop trusting their institutions. Environmental doomsaying is seen by many as an entirely noble pursuit, but all it does is make climate science skeptics. The pandemic has seen a few big ones. "Masks don't work" was an obvious lie being spread around Feb/Mar, people would get called out in public for wearing them. The truth was that they actually do work, it's just there was a massive shortage, and hospitals needed them. "There is no food shortage" was one in my area (and a lot of other places). I contract with a large grocery chain, and I know for a fact that there were major shortages, but officials figured lying about it might stop it from getting worse. 9 months later, and look at how many people have a complete distrust for these institutions now.
