I want to know how much the Romans stole from Germania. If we're going to track down every historical wrong (as long as it's a European/British/American historical wrong), and see it made right, we need to know how much the Romans stole and what it's worth in current money. Then I expect Italy to make reparations to Germany.

I'm not unsympathetic or unaware of what India went through when it was occupied. Obviously imperialism is wholly unacceptable. But we seem to be revisiting historical wrongs with a particular selectiveness.

I assumed those stats would be correct, but after being prompted to look into it by your reply, they were not. It even says in those stats "starting OTR cost of popular models", so not a beefed up maxed out version. But nope, I checked the official VW website for UK, and the prices are along the lines of what you were saying, £22k-24k.

Now I don't know if I can even trust the rest of the stats on that page.

Depending on how you define student, everybody who ever took a linguistics class is a student of Chomsky. But you raise a good point about objectivity.

So who/where are the disinterested supporters of Everett's work? What do they believe that the Chomskians are getting wrong about Everett's work?

The key word in my query here is disinterested, because almost all criticism of Chomsky is (implicitly or explicitly) based on his political views, rather than his linguistic scholarship.
This a very good use case for a cryptocurrency, but in the long run a crypto like NANO might be a better solution with due to quicker transaction times, lack of fees, and much lower environmental impact.

Without posting the specific exploit, the issue is with the server-side sleep() in the login system. If you spawn enough threads, which you could easily do in the given time from even a 56k modem, it will for some reason crash the whole thing. Tested with a couple friends and all the instances had to be restarted manually, none of them (running on different web servers) withstood it. It's not clear why as the sleep should simply run through and then unblock the threads; for some reason that's not what happens.

Again, this was reported and they don't care. If you want more info, this should be enough to reproduce it without much effort and/or ask them about it (not sure if they made the ticket public, initial report probably was presumably private due to the pre-auth/unconditional nature).

Thanks you for your interest! It should be considered as a debt. For now, we do not provide any metrics on it, mostly because there are already really great tools to do this (and wanted to focus on other aspects). Ideally, we should integrate with other products (such as codecov, coveralls) to integrate code coverage metrics on our dashboard.
I'm still surprised how hard that perspective shift seems to be for people: Everywhere there is an outlet is a potential place to charge a vehicle. (Maybe not quickly, but that's a different matter, and people greatly underestimate what you can do with a steady trickle.) Everywhere there is a street lamp or grid-powered parking meter or stop light is a place that maybe doesn't have easy to access outlets today, but potentially could quite easily.

Meanwhile we've been driven to think that the incredibly complicated logistics dance of liquids being shipped and trucked all around the world to pumps is a "simple" supply chain that is easy to run and will be around forever. Gas stations run on very low margins, the supply chain is ripe for disruption (in the bad way) and we've seen in the past (for instance, the 70s oil crisis) how quickly stations and pumps will close at the slightest disruption, and how easily that can snowball. ICE range anxiety will return, the gambles right now are on when and how quickly/how bad. (My money is on "surprisingly soon" and "very quickly, a lot quicker than most people seem to think".)
Actually HFCS are entirely a product of the US Sugar program, which among other things restricts importation of sugar to drive up the price of domestic sugar. In the 1980s this made HFCS from milling corn into a cheaper liquid substitute for sugar. Thats when the soft drinks switched over. HFCS historically cost more to make than sugar but is made competitive only by govt intervention in the sugar market. If the US had market access to global sugar HFCS would not be competitive, Americans pay 5x more for sugar which creates the opening for HFCS.

The oracles don't have the power to completely run everything. With the current split for rewards, 25% of new coins is from just staking. As well, because new blocks are made only proof of stake, a 51% type attack would be also be much tougher for the oracles conspire and to pull off. Even if they tried to redirect 100% of research rewards (28750 GRC/day) to one address, it would take over 900 days to even reach the same amount as the address with the largest balance (~6% of current coin supply) [1].

Further, there's also more resiliency. If the oracles somehow broke or conspired and all said everyone did zero work, the network would still run. Now granted it would not be great that only previously pending research and PoS rewards would be given out, but you could still send coins, run polls, etc.

Hey Thankyou. Thats the point I want to say to everyone. This is just to give a simple idea on how current saas companies are at numbers :)
Yeah, there are a lot of factors that play into this. A couple things come to mind:

1) Considering megawatt-class machines are necessary for many future applications, the mass of the motor+inverter+gearbox (especially using best current technology) definitely adds up.

2) With a very distributed propulsion system, motors that end up near the wing tips have a big moment arm compared to the ones typically tucked under the wing root

it is not an implementation detail at all. The syntax and semantics are very different. Stackfull coroutines allow suspending more than one activation frame (i.e. a subset of the callstack) in one go. You can of course "emulate" it with stack less coroutines by converting each frame in the call stack to a coroutine, but it is a manual and intrusive process.

Jeez that's five essay length questions...

1) Japan's public sector debt has risen over time, but is not unusually high by global standards. Mainstream macro suggested that Japan would struggle to stimulate further growth once its interest rates hit zero (structural reasons why Japan's economy slowed down is a book length topic) which is of course what happened to Japan before the rest of the world. QE was a slightly unconventional way of achieving the textbook macroeconomic goal of injecting more money into the economy when it slows down.

2) The European Central Bank announced emergency measures to ensure all governments affected by COVID have access to reserves of Euros. In 2011-2012 it didn't, taking the view that countries with massive deficits should resolve their problems by cutting spending. Bond buyers didn't trust that they would, which made national debt servicing even more expensive, though these countries would have had problems even without that.

3) I'm not aware of any country repaying all its public debts or any textbook macro suggestion that this would be a remotely sensible goal for them to aim for. Textbooks would imply that continuing to aim for the necessary fiscal surpluses during an economic slowdown would result in massive recessions long before the debt got near zero.

4) Monetary policy produces inflation from credit becoming cheaper resulting in more money being available to spend on goods and services (and less reluctance to lend or spend based on concerns about the cost of debt service). The responsiveness to monetary policy is reduced when people still don't want to borrow more and central banks can't make it any cheaper to borrow money than it already is. More unconventional interventions like buying stocks obviously directly and immediately increase stock prices, but the average stock holder is less likely to go out and buy more goods, services or staff with their returns than the average borrower, so doesn't necessarily boost the economy/inflation as much as injecting money to reduce interest rates.

5) Cowen's phrasing is, admittedly, vague and crap here. Much of the velocity of money decrease has already happened because people are not spending or investing or borrowing as much in the middle of an economic crisis. On top of that, you've got much of the additional spending being ring fenced or restricted to those not spending.

Somewhat related, I had a devil of a time a little bit ago trying to ship a small Python app as a fully standalone environment runnable on "any Linux" (but for practical purposes, Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, and 20.04). It turns out that if you don't want to use pip, and you don't want to build separate bundles for different OSes and Python versions, it can be surprisingly tricky to get this right. Just bundling the whole interpreter doesn't work either because it's tied to a particular stdlib which is then linked to specific versions of a bunch of system dependencies, so if you go that route, you basically end up taking an entire rootfs/container with you.

After evaluating a number of different solutions, I ended up being quite happy with pex: https://github.com/pantsbuild/pex

It basically bundles up the wheels for whatever your workspace needs, and then ships them in an archive with a bootstrap script that can recreate that environment on your target. But critically, it natively supports the idea of targeting multiple OS and Python versions, you just explicitly tell it which ones to include, eg:

--platform=manylinux2014_x86_64-cp-38-cp38 # 16.04
--platform=manylinux2014_x86_64-cp-36-cp36m # 18.04
--platform=manylinux2014_x86_64-cp-35-cp35m # 20.04

Docs on this: https://pex.readthedocs.io/en/latest/buildingpex.html#platfo...

And you can see the tags in use for any package on PyPI which ships compiled parts, eg: https://pypi.org/project/numpy/#files

I don't know that this would be suitable for something like a game, but in my case for a small utility supporting a commercial product, it was perfect.

I don't know this paper but it doesn't matter. I didn't say only ethics in AI research doesn't solve real world problems. It's a research field mostly for academia not industry IMHO.

Partly because they would rather have the option to work at Google with FAANG salary vs a middle tier university in the middle of nowhere.

Nah. I had an elaborate home setup for a while as a hobby and the ongoing hassles (including NextCloud upgrade complexities) just led me to turning it all off and making do with simpler or no solutions.

Same here, at FU Berlin. We spent several weeks on LR and LALR parsers and such and, IIRC, even more than a week on regular expressions. Somehow we talked about two-address and three-address instructions, but never seemed to do any code generation, and certainly no optimization. It was very disappointing.

> you don't need AI ethics research to solve these issue.

what are you talking about? This is exactly the kind of research that's classified as AI ethics. "Solving these issues".

> instead of focusing on real issues that cause systemic discrimination

Identifying which ML models _actually running in production_ cause systemic discrimination (e.g. as you mentioned poor image recognition, bail predictions, etc.) is exactly focusing on real issues that... cause systemic discrimination.

> AI is not causing systemic discrimination

This is simply not true. Bad ML models have an impact on systemic discrimination right now, in that they amplify it.

> instead of focusing on real issues that cause systemic discrimination

It's a fallacy to think we can't do both, there's enough humans. Both making better AI and making better societal systems.

Yes, there's a good chance that in the caveman days I would only have had honey in rare circumstance when I found a good beehive and had time to process it. It would have been consumed fairly quickly unless I had extremely advanced levels of time preference and self control.

I also would probably have been dead by my mid-30s.

Now, I can get high quality, delicious, dark local honey - a year's supply at a tablespoon a day, more than you need - for less than what the average HN poster makes in an hour.

I don't eat that much of it, usually just use it as a maple syrup substitute for a nice weekend breakfast, and should be able to live until my 80s as long as I keep in shape with some basic exercise on a regular basis.

I think the main motivations for electrifying a railway are:

- flexibility and independence of power source. Switzerland can use hydropower, France can use nuclear power, many places could use coal power and not worry about losing rail transport in an oil shortage.

- reduced maintenance costs (no diesel engines; reduced weight of the trains causes less wear on the track)

- more power, i.e. faster trains, increasing the capacity of the railway line. Passengers approve, and freight trains can accelerate better meaning it's easier to run them between passenger trains.

The US and Canada have less to gain with these than many other countries.
