White poverty is a problem, too. You don't have to be black to be poor.
There is a conclusion at the end if you bother to scroll down ;)
I hope this can clear up some things. As others have mentioned, looking at the crowd at a typical public event in the US is likely to only be about ~10% black attendees, which will make the crowd look white. Further, we have wealth stratified by race, where black folks are less likely to be spending on expensive stadium seats for a televised game.

Statistically, football viewership among black Americans is higher than among white Americans. It’s something like 75% of the population for the former, and 55% for the latter.
While the fine distinctions in defining and counting species are interesting, it seems that a key issue is related to the Fermi Paradox, Drake Equation, and the Great Filter question.

How many separate times did potentially technological-level intelligence arise separately (and how separately)? Is it fairly likely to arise from a range of environments and evolutionary paths, or is the evolution of technological humans an absurdly unlikely fluke?

Are these multiple potentially technological species likely, and once one species gains technological advantage, it just dominates, or did just one 'branch' arise, most of the 'twigs' die out, and we've been just a bit more lucky so far?

My guess is that the more branches, and the further back in the tree they occur (i.e., further back than higher intelligence develops), the more likely it is overall that we are not alone, but we'd need a lot more information to make that call.
That seems like a feature that should be built into RSS readers, not the feeds themselves so that is where I would go looking for it.
I agree. Youth unemployment is a big problem. If you create debt and use that debt to drive down youth unemployment then the concept of "pay for it over the next X generations" doesn't even make any sense because when you are creating the debt you are also automatically writing a paycheck that clears that debt. It's effectively neutral on the economy.

If you have an economy with zero slack (meaning 0% unemployment) then adding more debt does increase the amount of work that has to be done in the future. In practice this means that the least profitable work will not get done and a backlog of work starts piling up. This is not a problem in practice because of technological progress and the subsequent rise in productivity.

Debt does become harmful if it is spent wastefully.

Financing consumer spending is a pretty good example. Since you do not expect to net a greater return in the future the debt is just an additional fee that provides no meaningful value compared to having the money in your bank account before spending it.

Getting a mortgage to buy an existing house can also be wasteful if there is a housing shortage (=more residents than housing). You're supposed to spend that money on building a new house or condo. The large difference between market rate housing and construction cost is not a flaw. It's a financial incentive for construction companies to build more housing. You just have to let them build.

Using debt to finance a war is also extremely wasteful. If you lose the war your economy will no longer be able to support the debt.

Goods still need to flow in a pandemic. The UK still needs to trade. It's those flows that are possibly worst hit. Adding to problems that would've been present with just covid.

Also attempts to find alternate markets can be hampered as business people can't travel easily to visit potential new markets for their products.

(as pointed out elsewhere on thread) you could assume that having both at once allows the government to blame all economic issues on covid...
I wonder, is being able to see a leetcode problem that relies on a generalization of merge sort to solve, never having learned merge sort, and coming up with a merge sorting approach the kind of person who can be a programmer.

Voting this up, because mc is great and deserves more attention. Sometimes cp/mv/rm or grep just are not sufficient. Mc is great for browsing your filesystem quickly and for example copy partial content of certain directories only. I use it on macos and even on my vps. Using it since windows xp - when i switched to linux from scratch ;-)

That said, i am not sure what this fork adds. I know a lot of mc tricks, i use it a few times a week. But im not a shell, editor, whatever customizer anyways. So not sure if i would miss scripting. I like it if stuff works out of the box, which mc already does!

A few screenshots of those editing features would help. And maybe contribute some of those new features to the main project. Anyways, nice job!

some notable addition, H2O2 itself is a great bleaching agent but exposing it to UV creates the Ozone gas which is also used as bleaching agent for wood pulp in industries. so, the process accelerates in its own. this process could be further accelerated if H2O2 soaked/brushed wood is placed in transparent airtight container(glass aquarium with sealed lid) for sunlight UV exposure,this process increases the concentration ozone and can ultimately give better result.

Other notable thing is the thickness is 1mm only which reduces the required penetration depth of epoxy to only 0.5mm if applied from both side separately. In the video they used 3mm which is three times more thick. The 1mm thickness itself also a limitation for wide array of applications, further research to increase effectively increase the required thickness of wood will make it viable for bigger market.

btw,I really liked the newer process which uses the already well-known chemistry and give better results.

Most of my coworkers in the enterprise I work for use LibreOffice, but the business itself has made no such decision. We're all remote workers, and the business provides none of us with locally run software, or any hardware, just lots of SaaS apps.

So a spreadsheet file gets passed around, usually from a client, and we're just expected to figure out how to read it. Those of us without MS Office already installed for something else usually install LibreOffice, including me.

Is the business doing something wrong here? Should they buy us all copies from Redhat instead of leaving it to us? Am I doing something wrong by using the free version for my enterprise work? Should I pay for a copy out of my salary?
In my opinion, GPT-3 is impressive not because it’s good at being human but because it’s good at doing lots of previously exclusively human things (like poetry) without being human at all. It’s certainly a better poet than I am, though that’s a low bar. It’s still concerning for that reason though - that relatively dumb algorithms can convincingly do things like “write a news article” or “write a poem”. What happens when we get to algorithms that are a lot smarter than this one (but still not as smart as our brains)?

Net income listed on https://mcdonaldscorporation.gcs-web.com/news-releases/news-... is $6 billion. Which makes a pretty big difference when you look at the per worker number.

There's lots of money that goes to franchise owners though.

An operation like McDonald's will end up paying higher wages due to automation, but to fewer employees. As the revenue per employee goes up things like training and churn become more expensive than increasing wages.

On phones sold directly from carriers? Where? Not doubting that it's possible, but I've not seen that anywhere I've looked.

I know it is common outside of what carriers sell - every phone I've owned for the last decade have had multiple SIM slots. But none of the phones offered by my carrier does, at least last I checked.

In any case, the point is that even on phones by manufacturers that have no reason to care what the carriers think - and none of the phones I've had in recent years have been carried by any carriers as far as I can tell -, FM radio is no longer a common feature, and so pressure from carriers is not a good explanation.

I like the idea of reading books; well, I read a lot[1] and my plan this year is to reduce the quantity and focus on quality. As suggested by some comments on this thread, I've also, quite a while back, moved more and more towards a plain-text life. Nonetheless, I let GoodReads[2] track the books I read on the Kindle.

Here is something I found on the Internet and have made my ways of reading books more thoroughly and deeply instead of trying to read more.

Write out about the book you read;

- Describe the book in few sentences.

- Your impressions of the book.

- Who else or what type of person should read this book

- Did the book changed you in any way. How?

- Are there any quotes from the book that you want to remember, repeat, or follow.

- Some Summary, snippets, and notes.

Except that environmental change to manipulate human behavior is ubiquitous. Consider traffic lights, fences, handrails, etc.

I don’t think it’s a good poet. I think it does an excellent job assembling text that reads like poetry, but if you go read some good poets that’s only a small part of what makes their poetry good. Good poetry talks about the human experience in a place and time.

As far as I could tell, the Virtualization framework is Linux specific(?)

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization

And in the guide in the OP, we are using some patches that someone wrote so that QEMU uses the Hypervisor framework.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hypervisor

And from what I understand but please correct me if I am wrong, the Virtualization framework is actually a layer on top of the Hypervisor framework. So if I am correct in my understanding the way that the QEMU patches do it should in theory be comparable in performance to the way that the Virtualization framework does it.

I would like to do some benchmarking of Linux on the Virtualization framework versus Linux on QEMU to see if there is a difference. However, good benchmarking is no easy feat. So ideally someone else who is really good at benchmarking Linux would do this and write about it.

The problem is that people in the US (and really most of the western world) have grown up eating meat, been told that they should desire meat, that meat is an essential part of their diet and, to a certain extent, that not eating meat is unmanly and weak.

Meat consumption is so ingrained that any attempt to curtail it is met with fierce opposition, because people feel as if it's an attack on their identity.

Since this tip is popular I'll share another related tip.

When using nested ssh session, you can send escape commands to any of them by the number of tildes. For example, if you ssh into Server A and then from Server A to Server B:

~~. # drop session from Server A to Server B
~. # drop original session into Server A
Depending on what you mean by understand, it seems that some ML models are already beyond human understanding.
Add your ssh pub key (id_rsa.pub) to authorized_ssh keys on the remote servers will automatically authenticate you.

> Nobody expects to learn much about a person by their name.

That's a good point, but humans are very different to computers - machines (be they physical or virtual) are provisioned for a specific purpose (even if that is to be "Fred's PC"), whereas humans need time to grow and can decide for themselves what to do as a career / what their hobbies will be, and change it any time.

But realistically, yes, the RFC is right that you may end up with machines whose purpose changes or multiple machines have the same purpose etc. But when they don't, it is much easier to have meaningful names. If you will name them differently, then please make sure all developers can access the list/mapping document and it is kept updated. It's frustrating if you want to investigate some production problems but end up looking at the wrong server's logs because devops didn't tell anyone they moved an application /website etc.

I like someone else's comment about app01 being easier to reason about and recreate than something named more specifically, and in the modern world, its easy to spin up a new docker instance or VM so there's less need to "let's just add this small service on that machine because it has spare capacity" (where capacity could be CPU/RAM etc.)
for virtual machines i tend to use names that belong to some other entity and call the hypervisor after that. for example Saturn and its moons, Africa and its countries or some authors and their works.
The quotes clue us in, its a title. The title is won again each time a smaller reptile is discovered. That was my immediate understanding on seeing the article. No extra words needed!

Your assertion was that you didn't think a majority of people were pro-Brexit come 2019. A pro-Brexit political campaign won in a landslide, despite multiple alternatives offering anti-Brexit stances (SNP, Greens) or softer stances on the matter (Labour).

I just looked that up. It appears he was visiting a milk distribution company of some sort on his campaign when he was approached by a live TV crew who asked for an interview. He was then led into part of the facility by an employee. Truly compelling stuff!

For me, this is very surprising.

> For example, when obtaining food, there are environments where humans get a significant proportion of their calories from hunting. In these locations it was shown there are much larger proportions of carnivorous mammals and birds than elsewhere.

I would have expected that the hunting-niche filled up, so that it was rather anti-correlated. One species eats more meat another eats less.

For sexual behavior, I suppose I could see the geography (how big island in particular - is that where they find these "human populations who obtain most of their food by foraging in the environment where they live") playing a part. If people have to travel by water to find a mate that could change things.

One problem I see, specifically for the environment, is that "dev" is now a TLD (thanks Google!), so you have to be careful should you try to do a short cut like "web01.dev" you may get a surprise depending on your resolv.conf:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.dev

Lots of 'generic' TLDs now thanks to ICANN:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Internet_top-level_dom...

There's both ".accountant" and ".accountants".

The article describes geographic sub-domains, and uses "nyc" as an example, but that's a TLD now as well. It may be better to use UN/LOCODE as a starting point:

Mark Zuckerberg's Big Problem Has Been Obvious for 17 Years
> "I'm impressed." for some reason translates into "Я впечатлена." — technically correct but as though the speaker is female...

Context indeed is insufficient. On the other hand some languages have neutral forms, which may be more appropriate in mixed or insufficient contexts.

For example, in this case the Russian equivalent could be impersonal "Впечатляет!", as in "This impresses me!"

However, this is more interpretation, than translation.

BTW, French translation gives it in masculin "Je suis impressionné."
That’s the ideal parallel. There’s so much math to the game in the coaching and strategy.

Clemson’s rise in college football has been entirely driven by it too. About 10 years ago we hired an offensive coordinator named Chad Morris who has a math degree. Stories about the detail in his playbooks was crazy. Player acceleration, top speed, directional changes, probability, specific angles. Almost every play had 3 things developing at once on a clock in the QB’s head based largely on his field of vision.

After Morris left, Tony Elliot took over. Elliot has an engineering degree (mechanical I think).

He missed our playoff game against Ohio State this year and the offense didn’t look anything close to what it was. Covid.

There’s just so much going on with every play it’s crazy. Every detail of every player on the field matters for each play. It’s not a sport where one guy can carry your team.
