Sure, if you're diligent enough, there's nothing stopping you, there's no wealth barrier - studying medicine is a reasonable option for students from poor families.

Is it not the case in USA? I have read about doctors coming out of med school with lots of debt, but I had presumed that these loans are reasonably available and would not prevent someone from a poor family from studying there.
I live in the burbs with some amenities being walking distance. People are still very isolated and segregated. I'm not sure it can be fixed except to allow easy access through public transportation to more dense, walkable areas. Strong driving culture as well. Save for a few strip malls on main drags, suburbia is a big box dystopia. Anyway yes zoning is probably the most important thing, though people are out here for the (comparatively) larger lots and houses.

> Is it something to do with the extreme dynamic nature of the language?

Smalltalk/SOM, JavaScript and Lua share the "extreme dynamic nature" but still have much faster JIT implementations. From my reports you can see that V8 (Node) is about ten times and LuaJIT about five times faster than MRI Ruby 3 JIT. Here are some other performance results using the same benchmark suite: https://github.com/smarr/are-we-fast-yet/blob/master/docs/pe.... Also TruffleRuby is reported to perform much better than MRI Ruby JIT (see e.g. https://pragtob.wordpress.com/2020/08/24/the-great-rubykon-b...).
> You can’t expect people to just see their children as individuals who must go fend for themselves.

Literally the whole premise on which the plot of Inception rests was to convince the child progeny of wealth to forgo it so as to prove that he could make a name for himself on his own merit and not by riding his father's coattails.

There's a very big difference between leaving a child to fend for himself (so to speak) and attempting to help a child develop his own sense of agency, including restricting access to a smaller-than-naturally-limited set of resources.

> Whatever that message was, I didn't get it.

You might want to read this (rather long) follow up: https://tailscale.com/blog/two-internets-both-flakey/

Important bits (paraphrased):

> Avery’s Laws of Wifi Reliability (mostly a paraphrasing of a trivial subset of CAP theorem):

> Rule #1 ("a OR b", success compounds and failure rates drop): if you have two wifi router brands that work with 90% of client devices, and your device has a problem with one of them, replacing the wifi router brand will fix the problem 90% of the time. Thus, an ISP offering both wifi routers has a [1 - (10% x 10%)] = 99% chance of eventual success*

> Rule #2 ("a AND b", failure compounds and success drops): if you’re running two wifi routers at once (say, a primary router and an extender), and both of them work “correctly” for about 90% of the time each day, the chance that your network has no problems all day is 81%.

> My claim is that the "choose between two internets [IPv4, IPv6]" problem is the same as the "choose between two flakey wifi routers on the same SSID" problem (Rule #2). We should not be surprised that the combined system is less reliable.

> The World in Which IPv6 was a Good Design: mobile IP. That is, the ability for your connections to keep going even if you hop between IP addresses. If you had IP mobility, then you could migrate connections between your two internets in real time, based on live quality feedback. You could send the same packets over both links and see which ones work better. If you picked one link and it suddenly stopped, you could retransmit packets on the other link and pick up where you left off. Your precise heuristic wouldn’t even matter that much, as long as it tries both ways eventually.

> If you had IP mobility, then you could convert the “a AND b” scenario (failure compounds) into the “a OR b” scenario (success compounds).
I don’t find it snobbish at all. The author is making high stakes out of an obviously low stakes situation. It’s absurdist. I don’t find it particularly funny, but it is a comedy piece through and through.

This is not a person who is taking themselves seriously:

> I felt more determined than ever to solve this mystery, not just for myself but for the cast of Saturday Night Live and also the rest of the people of the United States of America, who had been through too much for too long to then have insult added to injury via the spontaneous and inexplicable disappearance of the best noodle.

I agree that the writing is well done, though the story didn’t hold my attention. I bailed at about the halfway point.
I think the implication of the parent was that the car part was ripped up not the rail part. The line works just fine, just f* the cars that need to cross it.
> It’s an entirely new network. IPv4 only hosts are not reachable on the IPv6 net. It replaces rather than extends IP, and I can’t figure out why they did that.

IPv6 cannot be an extension of IPv4 since IPv4 is not forward-compatible.
It has nothing in it that would allow stuffing more address bits into it.
And since you cannot encode more than 32bit in 32bit you will never be able to have a IPv4 successor that can just interoperate with IPv4 - you will always end up in exactly the same situation as IPv6 is right now.

And if you just want to route your IPv4-ng over IPv4 in the core or something (which is what your idea is more or less).
You can do that with IPv6 as well: Use 6in4 tunneling.

But you are still at the same problem that a IPv4-only cannot communicate with an IPv4-ng-only host, since it is unaware of IPv4-ng.
> This article implies that forgiveness and mercy are immoral. People have the capability to create evil. Seeing as there is some good around, we must be able to create good as well. As moral creatures who can create good and evil, are we not obligated to create as much good as we can, and extinguish evil where we can? Or should we shrug our shoulders and say, it’s not my fault I am bad, there was evil before me, evil was done to me, and I will embrace it myself.

> There are a lot of false dichotomies in the article, especially the idea that it isn’t possible to disincentivize or even punish evil without embodying evil yourself, therefore confusing evil and good. There is too much to write, it seems foolish to even have to explain. Thousands of years of (mostly) successful criminal justice assumed that dispassionate, fair judgment is at least possible.

I don't think he was advocating for evil as the only way to combat evil, in all circumstances but only in some.

And as much as the development of a impartial judicial can regulate certain cases of amoral behavior, there are still many more situations where a compromise of our morals is nesseacary to correct some situation at hand.

Cases that come to mind range from insulting someone for insulting you back, lest they continue in this behaviour after thinking you are an easy target, to allied intervention to Hitler's aggression

> Most importantly, building on this twisted logic to say that to be wronged makes you immoral (by either unjustly ignoring evil, or through grudge and retaliation becoming evil), is not only hurtful to victims, but justifies a world that forever echoes and amplifies pain and evil. I steal from my enemy because he has done me wrong. I steal from you because my enemy has made me evil. All evil for everyone is justified.

Again, my interpretation of the authors views is not that the totality of every victim of injustice is themselves an example of moral failure, only in some. I think a strong case for this is in the two examples I gave above, where your retaliatory behaviour will act as deterrence towards the trangressor, barring them from further transgressions. When the aggressor perceives that you are constrained by a set of morals or behaviors that prevent you from retaliating to their aggression, then there is nothing stopping them from infringing on you further. Therefore in this case, I believe you have the responsibility to act in retaliation, and the charge of immorality could be reasonably levied against those who fail to do so.

I have a big red flag that goes against what this post claims (I've written about this to a similar point https://academia.stackexchange.com/a/129673/58645 )

You do NOT want to START a course/topic by predisposing students negatively. Whether that is in relation to a topic, or inadvertently in terms of your perceived ability to teach it.

You may think that "apologising" on behalf of a technology (or yourself) might attract sympathy and establish rapport, but typically it backfires and achieves the opposite.

To make the example concrete, if you start the lecture with "why NaN sucks" in order to get students to sympathise and appreciate that you're showing them the pitfalls, is more than likely going to backfire and create a general feeling of resentment along the lines of "why are we even using it, why am I wasting my time here". Not to mention the risk of "great, I'm paying $Xk/y so that some random disgruntled guy can teach me hacks to circumvent shitty technology".

There are much better ways to approach this subject (linguistically), which would make it far more interesting and scientifically engaging.

Note, I'm not saying this person is "teaching it wrong" - it sounds like they've put a lot of thought in their work. But generally one should aim to refrain from 'negative' language. You could do exactly the same syllabus with positive, non-apologetic language.
I believe a better question to ask yourself in such a situation is "Are you ready to avoid senseless violence?" ie. "is this worth it?" I don't believe is worth fighting police during a demonstration. I'm biased, sure, but still if you are in such situation you need to stop for a moment and think about such questions.

Whenever I went to demonstrations -and, granted, its been a while since War in Iraq started- I made a very conscious decision about this beforehand. Its part of planning, because it might affect your OPSEC (things such as your possessions and your planned behavior).

I also believe its not a valid comparison between physical violence and emotional violence (such as threats). I'm currently reading Ronan Farrow's Catch and Kill, and I keep thinking: "now this is a fight worth fighting for". I'm at 2/3 and I have not read about physical violence [against the reporter, Farrow; not referring to the violated women!] as of yet.
I take your point about it warming up after assembly, though I doubt it was fan-cooled. This was a SNAP-19C device, primarily used for Nimbus satellites, where, of course, fans could not be used. A manual is available [1], where it mentions an operating temperature of 380°F (193°C) in space, and 260°F (127°C) in the atmosphere (presumably in an environment around standard sea level temperature and pressure; the air near the top of Nanda Devi is less dense but also colder, and presumably it is often windy.) I guess it would be like standing next to an operating stove (though, of course, in mountaineering clothing.)

The manual also warns, when checking it out, against letting the temperature change too fast: no more than 35°F (19.5°C) in 15 minutes. And don't have it assembled without an electrical load, or it will overheat.

Then there's the question of whether the electronics were fan-cooled, but an RTG is so thermally inefficient that its own waste heat must dominate that dissipated by any device it powers.

A friend of mine tried the Looking Galss. It looks 3D but the resolution is really bad, like 320x240.

The display uses a dot lenticular film in front of a normal LCD display. The thick plastic and the lit up bezel is for giving 3D clues to fool the eye.

The pixels has to be shared among all possible viewing angles so this technology is mainly limited by display ppi and rendering power I think.

I don't think you should do away with cars, we need them for efficient transport and whenever we need to travel longer distances. I just think we should build with both cars and people in mind. Most North American suburbs are focused solely on cars and houses with no provision for mixed use. I think the zoning is more to blame than cars for the current dire conditions.

I agree. The metaphor for manipulating files, drivers etc has been the pinnacle of the desktop metaphor (maybe with the exception of BeOS but they just copied and made kinda better version of MacOS classic.

I recently bought a Powermac G4/553 DA model and it's really responsive with Classic. One of the last Classic-compatible models. But it feels really simple compared to any modern OS.

And something I've forgotten in 20 years since the last usage of Classic: There's no real multi-tasking. Uncompressing zip or sit packages basically blocks the whole OS until the work is done.

Oh and other things taken for granted nowadays I've forgotten: one can use _the same computer for other things when scanning photos_. Then even the fastest computer was blocked until the scanning was completed :D
I think inheritance and unchecked wealth accumulation work against meritocracy actually.

There are things that make people more efficient as a homo sapiens and we want them to enjoy those things and not to worry and stress various annoyances so they can concentrate on what they are best at.

But as you say it's obviously not like that for CEOs of big companies. Just because Bill Gates was good at selling software doesn't mean he should hold this immense power in the world and decide how to allocate resources between vaccines and cancer research etc. It has nothing to do with his meritocratic expertise (of course he pays his own experts, but he does maintain the high level control). Some would argue that this value was all created as additional value by him via the efficiencies enabled by the software and that it wasn't merely captured out of existing value. It's obviously a combination, but based on ideology people estimate it differently. We know that rent seeking and dark pattern business practices exist, as do lobbying and other forms of corruption.

The billionaire examples aren't examples of meritocracy but of rewarding luck. Nobody would say that as a human Elon Musk is literally that much more competent than, say, the best senior engineer at Tesla.

But also, beyond a certain point rich people aren't people any more, more like institutions. They just channel that wealth in different directions, they cannot "enjoy" a significant potion of it as a human being. All that money gets rotated back into salaries of others, else it would remain just numbers in databases. It cannot meaningfully accumulate. Just like if you burn a bag of cash, you induce minuscule inflation effects and everybody else's money increases in value a little bit. If a billionaire sits on his cash, it's as if he didn't have it. But when he uses it, he pays salaries and makes people do stuff. The problem is when this stuff is "the wrong thing".

I think the main argument against billionaire power is that the distributed wisdom of crowds and markets are better at allocation and deciding what's worth doing than centralizing it without limit. It's good to centralize it as long as it's about merit and related to expertise or capacity, but not beyond that. Billionaires are way beyond human scale regarding that.
Sure, death is. But biological aging is something we probably can solve so if that gives us 30 more healthy years that's great!

We might not end up as immortals but doesn't mean it's pointless to try to live a longer and healthier life.
Sorry, I wasn't directly involved.
That's just pathological.
Yeah. Sadly you can always find something somewhere at some point in time that proves the general point of "the government and corporations being assholes".

Like when lead poisoning was covered up by corporations and researchers discredited by corrupt "scientists". Yes this happened, and society learned from such incidents and became more resilient. But if you keep getting back at those incidents as "proofs" that everything is corrupt forever, how you're going to solve the problem?

Such a platform is obviously necessary for the Internet; Google exposing Maps (& related APIs) makes it less likely that another company will build the default platform for map APIs on the Internet.
>It seems almost absurd that the world can end up in a state where it is impossible to invest capital in a way that provides any significant return at all.

It's pretty obvious. You don't have to invest that money in the same country where that money was created in the first place. If you exchange USD for yuan and the Chinese exclusively buy US assets with their newly acquired USD then there is no reason for workers to produce anything in the US. The factory can be in China after all.

In theory you could build housing with that money and employ construction workers but that is crazy talk in the US.
An email said they wanted to elevate Trump, Cruz and Ben Carson. At the time those seemed like the easiest people to beat. That’s the big scandal?

I guess that’s newsworthy in a very inside-baseball kind of way but I don’t think it justifies posting someone’s whole inbox online.
This is assuming no or poor homestead exemption.
I sometimes think about the way U.S. culture elevates the concept of vengeance in movies: They killed or kidnapped his wife and family, and now here’s two hours of kicking them to death. No character development or exploration of loss; just a flashback of a generically pretty family on the beach, and then kicking.

Quite a few of these movies end with the protagonist, after having kicked his way through countless henchmen, deciding that the bad guy “isn’t worth it”, which is to say that after it’s clear that the protagonist has won the fight and could kill the villain if he wanted, masters his emotions and walks away. Sometimes followed up by the villain destroying himself via suicide by police, falling off a cliff, or some other means of dying that isn’t the protagonist’s fault.

These movies strike me as the crystallization of one of our predominant societal ills: the idea that it’s morally good to feel anger, and morally bankrupt to not feel anger. The righteous path is to be angry; where to direct the anger is of secondary concern, and we need not even understand what we’re mad about, and the thing we’re mad about need not even be real.

I’m finding a deeper respect as I age for people who are able to respond to the world with zen-like empathy.
The thick CRT case reminded me, again, of the unveiling of the current iMac design in 2012. Phil turning the computer to demonstrate its thinness, to an obviously very carefully selected angle so the bulge remained just out of sight.
