That is exactly the same situation with the streets in my city, primarily one lane in each direction, sometimes with turn lanes.

Cyclists have to ride on the bike paths where present, and keep to the right in the rightmost lane anywhere else. The reasoning is that you want different types of traffic to mix as little as possible, because of the size and speed differential.

Even reaching the left turn lane means crossing a lane of car traffic, which is basically impossible in moderate to heavy traffic, which is why the hook turn is prescribed.

In practice it works quite well. Cyclists don't have to shoulder check for traffic that is potentially closing very fast from behind, and drivers don't have to worry about slow traffic cutting across their lane.

The light cycles usually aren't overly long, so by the time it takes to go across from sitting at a red light to the opposite corner, you'll only have to wait a few seconds for the light to turn green in the other direction. If you roll through a green light to the corner, the wait is even shorter.

Compared to sitting exposed in the middle of the intersection waiting for oncoming traffic to let up or stop at the red light, I would much rather take the 2-3 seconds extra and do a hook turn.
> A rich kid is much more likely to leave an impact on the world

A rich person is subsidized by society. Why should we optimize fiscal policy to enable them and let them leave an outsized impact on the world?

Especially when the outsized impact of the rich is inequality, anti-democratic political norms, and environmental destruction?

They have no skills, or information advantage. Just a network effect advantage through monopoly of a shared value store. I see little difference with this system compared to monarchy or theology rule, which were also hierarchical, with ones power based on closeness to power, and monopoly of value store and public time economy.

To clarify, I mean wealthy non-doers. Hedge funds, old wealth, etc.

Doctors, engineers, etc., sure let us give them our ear. Unskilled rich are a drain on public agency.

Hmm.. regarding the economist rankings —- wasn’t this solely because so many top US schools refused to participate, so they just excluded entirely?
Craft (https://craft.do) has become my goto note taking / productivity / knowledge management app. I've tried Workflowy, Roam, Obsidian, and Notion before landing here. It has a great compromise of features I liked from all the different apps, native mac + iOS applications (huge if you're coming from Notion electron land), and a great dev team that's delivering new features at a rapid clip.

Who decides what is 'disinformation' or 'misinformation'? You? The Democratic representatives? Jack Dorsey? No thanks. I think I'd like to make up my own mind.

Your politics also shine through your comment which also betrays your biases. Free speech is hard when it's speech you don't like and used by your political opponents .. isn't it.
I think if your syntax and semantics imply the stack-ness of your coroutine implementation then you you have a language design problem. Coroutines are subroutines with two additional primitives (resume after call, and yield before return). Whether `yield`/`resume` imply stack swapping or a state transition between activation frames is just an implementation detail. Both have tradeoffs, to be sure.
> As a side note: The Economist MBA rankings 2021 have raised eyebrows because European schools rankings increased so much: https://whichmba.economist.com/ranking/full-time-mba

Notably this list is missing most top-tier MBA schools like Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Wharton, Northwestern, U of Chicago, MIT, UC and others.

If you want to say some of these schools are overrated, fine, but if none of them made the top 90 you've got a weird rankings methodology that isn't gonna be useful to most people.

I'm not sure what this proves considering you can manipulate photos to look like anything. I would be able to tell within minutes of talking to them in person -- as would any reasonable person -- which is what the discussion is about. If you want to go that route though, actors are almost universally older than the characters they play, especially characters in their teens.

This is why it's a good idea for people from non-top tier colleges to run away from prestige. You'll never be able to compete on merit at a place like McKinsey, a top law firm or an IB. You'll be undervalued due to lack of pedigree. Better pick something more meritocratic and less focused on signalling value of your CV. I know this is an ideal that doesn't truly exist anywhere, but there's certainly degrees to which it's true and that varies between industries.
The principles are the same — it's just harder to find collisions for larger digest sizes. (Although bugs in sha-1 add an interesting wrinkle to the discussion.)

In fact one could argue that encryption without requiring infinite bandwidth or computation requires finite difficulty in math puzzles.

So our current approach to encryption is fundamentally vulnerable to (vastly) more powerful adversary computers. Only things like quantum cryptography break free of that limitation, by changing the ground rules.
Very cool concept. I imagine there are countless similar avenues for automation of otherwise-paper-based maintenance management.
> modern science and technology has skewed the natural selection process with a bias that may select for undesirable attributes

But that's hardly "modern" at all. Any improvement since the dawn of time that increases survivability for any creature that otherwise could not have lived and bred without it would lead to that result. Where does one draw the line?
While that may be true there are plenty free or close to free resources on the internet on in libraries and plenty of local friendly groups that often have a focus on advanced riding.

For the folks who are riding around on $20-40k worth of bike with illegal and noisy aftermarket pipes - that they paid for - it's not really an excuse.

I can't think of a single macroeconomist that would say "but the money multiplier" though. This is a straw man invented by MMTers to avoid debate.

Literally every single central bank's policies are designed and implemented by mainstream macroeconomists, as were the capital requirements. "Banks can lend always anyway if it makes business sense" is the system mainstream macro built. Of course, mainstream economists also consider the "if it makes business sense" bit (and to a degree the "capital requirements" bit) matters, and have models observing that the flow of money actually injected into the economy at a given interest rate being finite and relatively predictable, and they can make it go up or down in different circumstances by changing that interest rate. They also (since the 80s, at least) have a sophisticated enough grasp of inflation to figure that how the dollars are injected into the economy matters rather a lot.
I was about to say. Bush is a bad public speaker, and you can disagree with all of his politics, but his professors found him intelligent. That being said, legacy admissions is still completely irresponsible, and people should be way more outraged by that.

> No they do not! Nobody has any 3060s yet! The cards become pre-installed with this software. If you don't like this software, don't buy the card. It is not an update! It is pre-installed software that you can choose not to buy.

The cards do not come preinstalled with drivers. Drivers are installed in the OS and are updated regularly while the hardware is in support.

You have a very odd obsession with future/past here. These are statements that Nvidia has made about their plans for this hardware. Unless they change their mind, they will do this. It doesn't matter that it hasn't actually happened yet, it's their stated policy for these cards, as well as something they've done in the past without warning. And even if you buy the card knowing that the hash rate is restricted, there are a myriad other uses that they can now arbitrarily restrict at their whim.

> No. It is pre-installed software, that comes on a device, before you purchase it.

No, it's software you install separately. Since the drivers are required to have the card function, you must install them, and they can be updated at will by the manufacturer to remove capabilities.

When you are buying this kind of hardware, you primarily look at the hardware specs to understand the capabilities. In this case, those specs can't be trusted, because Nvidia is deciding what sort of code you're allowed to run on hardware you've purchased.
My company was doing this when I joined (and to some extent still does this, but most of our data is in postgres now). It works ok as a development environment, but it's massively constraining for automated testing.

With a local instance, I can just spin a new one up for each test run. You can't do that with firebase projects (they do now provide an emulator which is just about workable).
To be fair, first Plato was born in aristocratic family and got best education possible at the time with private tutors. He definitely did not go to equivalent of 3rd tier university.
Yes I understand that different hardware renders things at different speeds, thanks for your input? I'm saying that if something runs like shit on my $3,000 laptop I wouldn't be comfortable putting it into production for a user base that likely has, on average, far less.

They also charge for luggage because it gives them a way to make the initial ticket price look cheaper, while effectively making more money. Extra cost add-ons are the name of the game in the airline business now (and many others).

With luggage, it's kind of ironic because carry-ons slow down turnaround time and that eats into profits. But I presume this doesn't completely offset the extra profit generated from freight or they wouldn't do it.
A fair point, but in reality almost all of the Bitcoin heat is vented to the environment— no one is seriously capturing it for reuse at this point.

Also important to note that resistance heating ("100%") is in fact not the most efficient way to use electricity for warming a space. The most efficient is with a heat pump, where you're actually moving the heat from outside to inside.

I would argue the opposite. That it's harder to weed out incompetent people from Ivy schools because so many of the people there are there based on their wealth and not their merit.
Forget the Ivy League—judging from elections from 2000 on, one is incredibly unlikely to become a major party candidate for President, let alone win, without having attended some kind of private college prep school, rather than a public high school. As I recall, Hillary is the only candidate who didn't.

Sure, little Timmy, you can be anything you want, even President. Your parents are rich, right? No? Oh, uh, never mind.
Keep in mind that Firefox opens their website on first run and on every update and that includes Google Analytics.

I find the majority of their privacy claims dubious and dangerously misleading for those that don't know any better. If they were serious about privacy they'd offer uBlock Origin (or equivalent functionality) preinstalled by default.

Their current countermeasures such as containers, tracking protection and this cookie thing is trivial to bypass with browser fingerprinting and IP address tracking if you have a global view of the Internet (which Facebook and Google do have).
Fair enough, no need to give any up any identifying information :)

> To clarify, I mean wealthy non-doers. Hedge funds, old wealth, etc.

What does this mean? How are hedge funds unskilled or non-doers in the manner that heirs are? I'd say the average hedge fund analyst is probably as accomplished/skilled/hard working as the average doctor or engineer.
I think Steve Jobs died basically the same way. He just kept losing weight.
It's not great, but the alternatives aren't much better. Hyphenated last names don't scale and are awkward to begin with. Having the man take her last name has all of the same problems.

This is the United States - the government is the public.
Here's some anecdotal evidence from my experience:

I've lived close to a loud 4 lane road for 4 years. My windows were bad too. When trucks drove over a bump in the road, I sometimes was able to notice the vibrations.

Given this radical experience and all the pain caused by sleep-deprevation and having to move away finally, I second the article's message whole-heartedly (lol).

Though I was luckily to be able to move, I've stayed sensitive to noise. It's a major stressor in my life and I take it seriously.

In fact, I think that particularly in cities, the German aurhorities should implement tighter rules when it comes to noise pollution, e.g.:

- tone down ambulance's horns or fund technical approaches that work without the high pitch sound

- stop building airports near neighborhoods and restrict air traffic heavily

- enforce stricter rules when honking for stupid reasons

- have cars comply to noise maximums
Folks with sensitivity to sound: consider supplementing chelated magnesium.

When I tried magnesium glycinate to help with sleep, I happily discovered my daytime sensitivity to loud sounds improved too. Turns out this is common: https://psychcentral.com/blog/living-with-extreme-sound-sens...

> In my practice, 85 percent of my patients came to me with a severe magnesium deficiency. A deficiency in this mineral often leads to anxiety, mood swings, personality disorders, sound sensitivity, light sensitivity, and insomnia. Magnesium has been shown to mitigate the neurotransmitter glutamate while easing the anxiety and anger experienced by someone with most types of sound sensitivity. Chelated magnesium is one of the best types of mineral supplements as it is very small and easy for the body to absorb and make use of.

Mg deficiency is widespread in industrialized populations, due in part to nutrient depleted soils. It’s heavily implicated in medical literature for anxiety, irritability, insomnia. The link to noise sensitivity seems more anecdotal so far.
My original point was really meant to be that I don't think any of this is deep, and that article seems to (acidentally) back that up. I spent a fair amount of time with philosophy students when I was at university and they would often waste time getting tangled up in semantics having discussions that sounded deep but really weren't. The solution is: accept that words have meanings that are fuzzy around the edges and don't let it worry you. There are contexts where you actually must let it worry you (e.g. determining if someone broke the law) but come up with a tighter definition in any circumstance like that, while accepting that the word will still be used more loosely in other contexts.

I hadn't seen that article before and didn't mean to refer to it. In fact the author is making an exceedingly simple mistake confusing two totally different things. The first is that a word that has a fuzzy meaning, and you notice that by looking at the edges of its meaning (e.g. is something still a vehicle if it doesn't transport people?). As I said, that is expected and not worth dwelling on. The second is using it as an analogy: is a salad a vehicle for dressing? Is a film a vehicle for an actor? Getting mixed up with the first question is a pretty basic mistake. When Forrest Gump says "life is like a box of chocolates" (technically a simile because of use of the word "like" but similar idea) you might think it's silly but not because the box of chocolates doesn't satisfy the literal meaning of "life". As with salads and films, that's not the edge of the meaning of the word; it's the very core meaning of the word used in a different context.
Have you tried selling to the wood products manufacturing industry?

Not as much money involved but companies like Borgs have sites all over and hundreds of machines that need greasing.

My opinion is that it seems counterintuitive for an elite school to care about social equity. Just run your school, stop being so meta about it, let other schools fill in the gaps. It’s OK to have a school for elites.
Will changing the composition matter? Maybe, but I think the schools are puffing up their roles and society is going along with them.

Consider Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. Did going to the Ivy League help them? They dropped out. A big reason they succeeded is because they came from stable families that supported their once crazy dreams.

I'm afraid the Ivy League is going to find out that their adjunct teachers aren't any better than the adjuncts at other schools. In 20-30 years, the great successes will come from other schools-- something that's already much more true today than it was 50 years ago.

Our customers like the visibility the software brings to their operation. They keep inventing uses for the data we hadn't thought of - we had a customer who owns an intermittantly used shiploader request a report showing the last greasing of each zerk to be outputted 2 hours before the ship arrives in port, this is so they can prevent unforseen breakdowns while the shiploader is in operation and the costs are high

For me, the problem isn’t the politics. On many special-interest subreddits for various hobbies you avoid the politics almost entirely. The problem is that gradually over the years, the vast majority of people posting on Reddit have been using mobile phones.

Because mobile keyboards are so annoying to type on length on, that has resulted in posts getting shorter and shorter, down to one-line Twitter-like replies that are almost information-free and don’t provide much of the skillsharing that people used to turn to hobby forums for. If you post a couple of solid paragraphs, the same length of text that was normal on Reddit just a few years ago, you look weird and out of place among the one-line posts. You might even get some mockery: "haha wall of text bro".

I would love to leave Reddit entirely and return to the phpBB forums of yore where substantial conversation could continue. The problem is that Reddit has eaten their userbase, leaving only a handful of elderly people or cranks, and the feeling of a ghost town.
Aren’t you making the point of the author?
