Enough people have voiced their opinion on this tool but I just tried it.

The results were underwhelming. It fails to find obvious links between sites, makes completely incorrect correlations while claiming 100% matches, and has no way of figuring out if it's the same person. The "useful" features seem to be username generator based on your original input, e.g. you input "john doe" and it suggests usernames like "jdoe", "johndoe", etc.
Foreign Journalists come and go in China all the time, they’re not locked up in the country permanently. If what you say was true, direct first hand reporting of the Uighur situation would be impossible, yet even that happens.

Do you think reporting on factory activity in Guangzhou is that much harder? China has incredibly vibrant industrial reporting, businesses running just in time supply chains and making investment decisions need accurate information. Your just making up excuses and I suspect you know it perfectly well.

Well executed lockdowns with high compliance rates work. They did it, it happened and there’s plenty if other evidence too. There’s no refuge left for the lockdowns don’t work brigade except “Laa Laaa I’m not listening”. Where they don’t work it’s precisely because the lockdowns don’t work brigade won’t let them, with low compliance rates.

> This isn't some small percentage of people this is 3 - 8% [1] of people hospitalized

And what percentage of people that get covid are hospitalized? Let's estimate and say 3% of people that get covid end up hospitalized. 3-8% of 3% is, frankly, a small percentage of people.

You can make any percentage seem large and scary with the right framing (https://xkcd.com/1252/)

Can't you say this for most things, though? People talked about the likelihood of a new contagious respiratory viral pandemic for years. Plans were drawn up, warnings were made, and the response was mostly "uh huh, that would suck for sure". Same could be said about anyone who's ever had their data lost to malware or hardware failure and didn't have a proper backup in place.

On some level I think it's human nature to underestimate some types of risk (and the nature of businesses to optimize for profit based on an understanding of this nature).

It’s always someone else’s fault. If you signed up for Griddy and didn’t know what you were getting into, that’s your fault. If you signed up for Griddy and knew the risks, that’s your fault. Either way, it’s your fault.

Griddy wasn’t some shady operation that hid the downside risks. Their customers were encouraged to monitor the real time rates and use electricity when it was cheap. The week before the storm Griddy was frantically trying to terminate accounts.

To add to what Jason said-

The characteristic current of the machine is roughly the same as the maximum inverter current, so at maximum power the power factor is between 0.7-0.8. This also means the flux weakening capability (CPSR) of the machine is very good, although that isn't particularly useful in these propeller-load applications. In many applications the machine would spend most of the time at ~0.6pu speed and ~0.5pu torque (cruise), where the power factor is > 0.9.

I can't discuss the specific rotor design, but I will say it is a very high flux machine.

Do you happen to have any reference you could share about this re [0]?
1. Once you work for a big bureaucracy, you realize how slow this stuff is. In terms of how much actual work it takes, it depends very much on the condition of the test environment -- whether it has been maintained and how much effort is required to get back up and running. Plus, how much paperwork is involved in dealing with the government agency that contracts this out. I can easily see a situation in which you don't even accept jobs that are less than 2000 hours as it's not worth it.

2. What I described is not the actual fix, it is the temporary stopgap. The prison department isn't going to pay someone to click checkboxes all the time for tens of thousands of inmates each year. They will want this info to be set automatically -- e.g. an integration from whatever software system(s) are used to track completion of the coursework to this system, so you are not hiring another employee to sit and click all the time nor do you need to create reporting procedures to get that info into the hands of the person who is clicking. The appropriate design then requires automation, which will require security controls, and it's a pain. It could easily be more than a year of work, again depending on how many systems they need to integrate against, what types of sign off/controls are required, how much paperwork is required, etc.

For example, maybe the coursework has no software tracking, in which case they need to throw up a portal and have the people running the course fill out who did what, and then throw up another portal to have someone else review that.

Lots of stuff ends up being passed around by ftp or csv uploads. I've seen horror stories. So it really depends on how they plan to do this integration -- the manual button clicking was just an example of a least effort system that relied on a lot of manual labor, but perhaps this is not in their budget either.

All I would want out of a studio version is it panned to centre so that I could listen to it through headphones.
I suppose a congressional committee separate from the intelligence community that can (hopefully) objectively decide whether something will directly damage our national security.

I agree though, it's a tough problem I haven't fully thought through. I can see an argument saying "well if a vulnerability was found and a violent felon/terrorist was released early, that would be _bad!_". Hell, a DMV appointment software could have a vulnerability allowing a drivers license to someone who then commits a terrorist act. I wouldn't put that past a politician to claim under "national security". Of course, as mentioned below, these vulnerabilities would probably be limited in scope if the devices are airgapped (which it better be!). But something tells me they likely aren't all airgapped.

But I genuinely hope that if such a thing were to happen, there would be more good eyes on it than bad ones. Personally I'd look at whatever was in my preferred language. Granted, it would be to learn from it, not to find vulnerabilities, but something tells me there are vulnerabilities in gov't systems even I know are bad.

But the stupid people asking stupid questions are also the poor dudes with barely a future for their children giving a bit of what they earn so you can focus.

You want funding you explain why. You don't want to explain why, accept nobody cares. It's because there's no absolute good in nature, nothing an expert can do to increase global knowledge is as necessary as the same guy growing lemons if society desires lemons more than knowledge. Make them desire knowledge more than lemon, THAT is part of the job.

> Inflation only matters from the time you receive your paycheck to the time you invest it in productive assets or buy the necessities of life.

It means the people who save by depositing cash in the bank lose value over time, causing them to purchase investments out of necessity (rather than purchasing them because they believe its a good investment). This bids up the price of investments relative to their return, which effectively reduces returns to a level commensurate with the artificially low interest rates.

It also negatively impacts anyone who is long cash for any reason (perhaps their business requires them to retain a certain amount) and anyone who relies on fixed payments denominated in dollars (retirees, pensioners, disabled persons, those on public assistance, etc.).

> After that it sets the benchmark rate of return for your investments.

Those are nominal returns, not real returns. Inflation generates no real returns.

> If your salary fails to track inflation that's between you and your boss who's giving you a pay cut year over year

Nice rhetorical judo, to frame the central bank’s actions as normal and the lack of an increase as a decrease.

> or between you and congress if you're under the minimum wage umbrella.

Alas, if congress could lower the minimum wage without political fallout, economists might suggest they do that instead of inflating the money supply.

> Currency only has value while its changing hands and inflation is an incentive to change hands. If you'd invested in anything at all 100 years ago you'd have just as much value as you do today. If you insisted in sticking a square peg in a round hole and hid your cash in your mattress the whole time, inflation did its job and took that value from you.

The bigger issue than shrinking the pool of devs is shrinking the pool of solutions and missing better/faster/cheaper options. E.g., many companies did exactly that in the previous two decades by trying to do everything in Java when a higher level language would have served them better.

If it's what you know and you're taking it over, though, that makes more sense.

> It means the people who save by depositing cash in the bank lose value over time, causing them to purchase investments out of necessity.

Ah you get it. That's the idea. Buy gold if you want, buy real estate, buy annuities, buy fixed incomes, I don't care, but money is an intermediary - not a long-term store of value. If you treat it as one you'll have a bad time. Just like if you treated your car as a boat. It'll work for a bit, then it'll sink. Because it's the wrong tool for the job.

> Those are nominal returns, not real returns. Inflation generates no real returns.

Did I say inflation generated returns? No, I said it sets the benchmark rate of return for your investments. If your investments fail to exceed inflation they're not the right choice. That's your duty in a capitalist society - to pick winners by investment.

> Nice rhetorical judo, to frame the central bank’s actions as normal and the lack of an increase as a decrease.

They're paying you less value so it's a decrease. You're tripping yourself up focusing on units instead of what they represent. After all, inflation has many positives, too.

> Alas, if congress could lower the minimum wage without political fallout, economists might suggest they do that instead of inflating the money supply.

That's between you and congress, not between you and Janet Yellen.

I'd argue this conversation is why ECON 101 should be mandatory, so folks have the tools they need to thrive in modern society instead of, well, tilting at windmills.

Andy from Carnegie Mellon here. This is impressive work. My PhD student and I have looked into similar methods for autotuning config knobs for MySQL + Postgres: https://db.cs.cmu.edu/projects/ottertune/

One of the many challenges with DB tuning that we have found is that people don't know whether their database, application, or DBMS version has changed enough to warrant another round of tuning. The best values that your tuning produces today may be different two weeks from now. Also, all the knobs that you are tuning don't require restarting the DBMS. Some of the knobs that make the most significant performance difference require you to restart the DBMS first before they take effect, which is not something people want to do often on their production database. None of the knobs that you target require restarting.

This problem is super interesting and our research has shown that it can really improve DB performance for some applications. We are in the process of spinning out OtterTune as a new startup: https://ottertune.com/
There’s already JSON with comments, called XML. It’s Extensible!

I’m not sure what you mean by tools canceling themselves out. Are you talking about the balance between the good and bad things done with tools? If so, I do agree with you. Eg guns are tools that clearly don’t have a net benefit and controlling their manufacture and possession seems OK to me.
They're taking advantage of knowing you probably invested a lot of time to find that perfect seat. If you cancel you will have wasted all that time for nothing.
These vehicles are more like golf carts than cars. Top speed of 56km/hr. No safety features. What is interesting is that the batteries, converters, and motors are so cheap that they offer a golf cart with a vehicle body for $2500.
They don't go that fast. If auto manufacturers designed cars that would go max ~25 mph, the safety concerns are completely different and much less. A Tesla is WAY overbuilt for going 25 mph.
> "This has been tested under conditions such as the Mariel Boat Lift, where a large number of Cuban immigrants all joined the Miami labor market in a short period of time, increasing labor supply by 7% very quickly. Research found that there was practically no impact on wages and employment for locals."

The problem with all of these studies is that they only apply to the specific circumstances of the study which will probably never happen again anywhere.

What happens if the immigrants send more of the money they make back to their home countries? What happens if the minimum wage is lower, or the immigrants have a higher skill level, so that the potential downside for wages is larger? What if the unemployment rate or labor demand is different, affecting the number of new workers that displace existing workers? What happens if immigrants' wages are taxed at a higher rate and the money goes to cronies and corporate welfare instead of being recirculated in the economy?

Measuring what happened at a different time in a different place doesn't really tell you much.

OrgMode is great, especially when you use an emacs distributions with good defaults (doom, spacemacs...)
I meant finally blocks... freeing memory, reverting changes, etc... which are things you'd use destructors for (and hence why you can't use setjmp/longjmp with them). If you don't do them then you mess up your program's state and hence have no way to ensure correct behavior afterward. This is why I mentioned arbitrary callers: you have no idea what callers have done or what they still need to do before returning. Heck, even sort() could have allocated memory that you'd be leaking, and not all destructors are constrained to resource leaks either.

I don't know what you consider "exceptions proper" (do you have to inherit from Exception? do you even have to pass along extra information?) but I don't think I agree. My point is actually precisely that what you want is not a non-local jump, but actual unwinding. Semantically, this is what exceptions are: synchronous dynamic unwinding. If you have a way to stop control flow and unwind arbitrary callers in a synchronous manner, what you have is exceptions, regardless of the particular syntax or other details. (e.g., it's beside my point you can "throw" extra information alongside this mechanism, or whether it's part of the language or a library, or whether you do the unwinding on the heap vs. the stack, or whether it's functional or procedural, or what have you.)

And my overall point is that this kind of dynamic unwinding is necessary for you to be able to do certain things like canceling routines in the middle in a safe and well-defined manner. (Especially that Result<>/Optional<>/whatever explicit localized mechanism is in fashion these days is clearly an insufficient replacement for exceptions.)
