Good photographer but very unprofessional. Taking photos of the ugliest people available or from food sellers picking their noses in the job -after you are hired to promote tourism in that place, none less- is clearly not what your employer expected from you.

Going ballistic artsy and finding something nice to photograph at the sea in winter wasn't so complicated after all; the ocean is gorgeous in winter. It seems that he was very unhappy in that place for some reason (maybe somebody robbed him?) and that his relationship with the locals was very difficult and sour. This photo gallery is the definition of revenge.
Hi, apart from Hayek (and maybe Ursula Le Guin, and A Hamilton), has anyone got any good pointers on theories for when you favour local over global knowledge or vice versa. Either political theories, or game-theoretic. Transaction cost economics is the closest thing I've seen, and maybe some of Stuart Kauffman's stuff on the adjacent possible and the CEO's job being to 'recut' the company into different divisions. But I've never seen anything along the lines of - if I have a changing fitness landscape L and a set of communicating agents A with different sets of knowledge, and they can use their knowledge to extract value from the local landscape, or they can make tools to increase the value of that knowledge or they can communicate or they can listen, then in what situations should you take different actions. The extremes are easy ( local changing landscape, high comms costs, then don't listen to anyone else; static similar landscape, cheap comms, listen to the cleverest agent); Maybe there is some biology stuff with ants or some agent-based modelling work ?
I am not saying don't be pissed off, I am saying please channel that energy to help to fix the underlying problems/attitudes. I can give suggestions on how to do this, if you're interested to hear it, so we can maybe have a chance to finally get some issues fixed. Beating the same dead horse going on years now is just not going to help this, regardless of what your perceptions of certain developer's attitudes are. If complaining about lost goodwill was ever a substitute for being persuasive and getting things done and taking initiative to restore the goodwill, it would have worked years ago, and we wouldn't be here talking about this now.

And just to be clear, harassing developers who have said "no I don't want to work on feature XYZ" is never acceptable and never has good results. If somebody says no and is just not interested, we leave them alone and we find someone else who does want to work on that feature.
I think Twitter has put itself in an impossible situation.

By banning certain politicians, it now has to maintain consistency... which means banning thousands more globally.... which means making itself irrelevant to huge swaths of the global population.

Etic/emic is an insightful metaphor, mr airport. These things are complicated.

Even in your type example, I doubt that papuan chiefs were oblivious of the political elements gift giving. OTOH, a purely etic viewpoint is (anthropologically) incomplete too. The political/economic machinery that outsiders/scholars find doesn't work, or make any sense, without the emic/cultural perspective. The same could be said of most political processes. The US just changed presidents. Leading up to it was weeks/months of ritual. Processes and procedures in many state chambers, and such. Most of it doesn't have a practical role, yet its culturally essential.

We're often warned not to personify animals. I think more often we make the mistake of personifying people, so to speak. We always have rationalisations, but the way it works is usually after the fact... or only rational within an irrational/cultural frame.

Leonard cohen said that free will is overrated. It exists but is rarely exercised. More often, we act because we are compelled.

It's funny, because it's true!
Old hard drives in ancient times (MFM days) had block defect tables (or defect list) - you never or rarely got a hard drive with 100% good sectors, and the addresses of the bad ones would literally be printed upon a sticker on the drive.

This got moved inside the drive as part of "adaptives" - a list of bad blocks from manufacturing probably lives in some EEPROM or NAND in the modern drives.

SSDs and microcontroller-based storage like SD cards and USB flash drives are the same - they certainly have some sort of defect list somewhere - I read somewhere that raw NAND is actually more expensive per GB than the same in an SD card because the SD card can have NAND with defects, but hide them through overprovisioning.

What I'm saying is that CPU microcode isn't really a ROM in the sense of containing executable code, it's simply some data-like structure the device literally uses to work properly, like however modern drives do their adaptvies--but not executable code.

Another example: Old arcade machines had small PROMs that held nothing but color table values for the display hardware (Pac-Man IIRC). Another example of something that's a ROM but probably not "firmware".
Deregulation of energy companies led to Enron.

I'm not sure that the value of trade vs value of the trade war/ calling-out-genocide has changed, so much as the cost of calling them out was quickly approaching "inevitable."

It's not like Trump would have had a problem escalating the situation years ago. And if anything, it would have had more political value for him to do it pre-election.
I feel like this is a double edged sword. Corporations have already embraced this idea of converting cost centers into profit centers and it makes life more difficult for consumers. Every time I call support at my ISP, because my internet is down, they work on my problem and tell me that my plan is slow and that I can upgrade my package for an increase in my bill.

This sets up perverse incentives, that as far as I can tell, are theoretical, but have potential to become more prevalent. Because of the cost center as a profit center idea, my ISP can generate more revenue by providing less value to me. If failing infrastructure causes me to call support more often, and more support calls increase the likelihood of more revenue, why should the ISP invest in better infrastructure?

The key to having a successful business is to carefully align the incentives of specialities in an organization to make the most competitive offerings to the market. If there are competitors, and customers can switch to them, and the competition is more compelling, then I would go to other ISPs.
That's the point. Macroeconomists understand that people should keep savings in assets that are tied to real production, not just fiat. It's important to make currencies not too attractive as a savings vehicle. A stable currency is very useful as an exchange and negotiation medium so we want to have it, but it being used too much as a savings medium is dangerous to the aggregate economy.

It gets problematic when people's savings are too tied to promises/tokens/ious. I mean, if everyone owes everyone else their savings, on the aggregate, does anyone really have any savings?

Things like gold remain sufficiently unattractive to not interfere with production markets because it is volatile and cyclical (Price of gold is highest when the average person is buying it and lowest when it is selling) usually making it a poor investment. Hopefully, cryptocoins remain that way too.
Despite the title suggesting a list of the usual US blockbusters, this is a list of Russian, South Korean, and Turkish films (and a few other countries) most of us won't have heard of before (with the possible exception of Parasite).

Reminds me of the joke about the talking dog at the flea market where the seller thinks he duped the buyer because "the dog is a liar".

For the topic: the programming version of the joke would be where it's a disgruntled e.g. D-Wave employee selling a stolen "quantum computer" at a flea market that can demonstrably break RSA encryption, and he thinks he duped the buyer because "it's really just a fancy classical computer".

Your immune system reacts differently with the second dose. In my anecdotal experience the side effects are a little worse than flu shot.
Blue Whale is the world largest (30m/100ft) and also the second loudest (189 underwater dB) animal, has been reported to communicate for about 1600 miles or 2600 km away. This distance is approximately the distance of Puerto Rico to the shores of Newfoundland [1]. The loudest animal goes to Sperm Whale with 230 underwater dB, and it's louder than the sound of jet engine at take-off. According to experts, whale's consciousness and sense of self is based on sound, not sight.

They communicate using sound types namely repeated songs (each song quantum duration of 15-20 seconds) and D calls (down-swept short pulse) [2].

I think that the longer repeated songs are for communication while the short D calls are for echo-location for determining sea depth, icebergs, islands and troupe of shrimps (their staple foods). The latter is similar to the mechanism being used by bats or blind human [3].

Google's interest in PKI is explicitly around it's desire to block competitive advertising interests. Which is to say, if Google is the one decrypting all your TLS traffic on your PC (which it is), it's very happy to push TLS, because it gates out other network providers from analyzing your network activity the way they actively do. Google is extremely financially vested in killing off Comcast and Verizon's advertising businesses.

Furthermore, Google's been utilizing that stewardship of Chrome to set up a situation where they dictate terms to the entire PKI industry, including their ability to unilaterally terminate certificate authorities... while conveniently setting up their own root CA as well.

Which is to say, yes, TLS is just another strategy Google has to take over complete control of the Internet from formerly decentralized approaches, and it should be considered a direct threat to everyone.
Are the vaccines really free in the US or will hospitals still catch you with copay, deductibles and other stuff?

A lot of people in US retail don’t have sick leave and make very little money. For them taking some unpaid time off to be vaccinated would be a big problem.

That said, they also reported feeling better in 24 hours or less.

Er.. the term "sound currency"/"sound money" is used to describe currencies with tangible value, e.g. backed by gold. Gold itself is considered "sound money."

What you're saying about sound money and/or deflationary (what I think you intend to say is disinflationary) is highly contested.

The modern U.S. Dollar is represented by Federal Reserve Notes, which are simply nominal liabilities of the central bank. Before dollars were Federal Reserve Notes, they were Silver Certificates, redeemable as silver from the U.S. government.

The Federal Reserve Note is a very young experiment, far from proven, and to make an argument from authority that of course Janet Yellen knows that FRNs and modern monetary theory is correct and proven is just plain wrong.

Ok, here's a variation.

A programmer is drafted by the military and ordered to write the software for a city destroying weapon. Given the freedom to choose the implementation language, he chooses Javascript. The user enters the city to be destroyed, which is passed to the Function destroyCity().

The General returns from the weapon's fist use in battle furious. "We fired your damn weapon at Bahgdad, and the city's still there! What's going on?"

"I think I know" says the programmer. Javascript passes it's parameters by value, not by reference."

You don't need any sort of "repetition" of Dedekind cuts to construct the real numbers, it's actually fairly straightforward. The set of all Dedekind cuts is a subset of the power set of rational numbers (i.e. each Dedekind cut is a set of rational numbers) satisfying the following properties: for each Dedekind cut A

1. A is not the empty set

2. A is not the set of all rational numbers

3. A is closed downwards, meaning if x is in A and y < x, then y is in A

4. A has no greatest element, meaning for all x in A, there is a y in A such that y > x.

And each Dedekind cut is in one-to-one correspondence with a real number. You can define the usual arithmetic operations on them, show that every rational number has a corresponding Dedekind cut (for any rational q, we have {x in Q | y < q } as the corresponding cut). I haven't seen a proof of the uncountability of Dedekind cuts using the diagonalization argument, but you can prove there is a one-to-one correspondence between Dedekind cuts and Cauchy sequences of rational numbers, which is another construction of the reals. And there is a fairly straightforward proof that those are uncountable using diagonalization.

But as you can see, you don't need any sort of repetition to do the construction, it's just a set of sets of rational numbers satisfying a few simple properties. For more information, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_of_the_real_numbe...

I'm recovering from a hand injury and doing grip exercises to strengthen the forearm muscles responsible for finger movement - when I clicked forearm it listed wrist exercises rather than grip strength. Maybe clicking the hands can lead to grip strength exercises?

Compounds lifts. Often people get confused about what program to use or how to optimize. If you're just getting started - anything will work. Make going to the gym a routine and the rest will follow.

Of course it's not. Is that an actual insight to anyone with even a little programming experience?

I for example love Elixir (an FP language) and utilize its idioms to the maximum extent -- because that gives me readable and easy-to-refactor code -- but I've seen people make insane gymnastics so they can use OOP and global mutability with it.

Is that Elixir's fault? Of course not.

I understand the amount of time required in adding quality content, but as somehow who is more into training, those are the features I think will take it to the next level:

2. Adding muscles - especially obliques, maybe also serratus.
3. Adding info for videos which other muscles it targets, dos and don'ts, and optional progressions/regressions.
