Depends on the price the advertiser pays. You can buy an ad, or you can buy and ad in a particular place. You don't get to choose what Dear Abby says in her column, but enough advertisers like what she says (that is the people who read her column and see the ad next to it - they don't care what she actually says, just that it gets eyeballs for him).

News papers have long had a policy that the advertising department wasn't in control of what the news said. The advertisers didn't like it, but they went with it because they knew that it is what the eyeballs wanted.

There is a fine line though - some companies didn't advertise in particular outlets (playboy is an obvious example), which might or might not work out for them.

The question is where is the power. YouTube is acting like they don't have power here, but in fact they do: a large portion of video is on YouTube, and so if YouTube says "too bad, either give us your money or not", the advertisers will need to pay up. Of course there is a cost to youtube in doing that which they might not be willing to pay: some advertisers will say no. Others will tell youtube fine, but we are not willing to pay as much as you could get if we got more control who sees us.

The question isn't where the power is, the question is how much money does YouTube need/want?
Not to mention the government mandated cities and folks like Le Corbusier! I think the vast majority of current new city developments are government mandated (e.g. Neom, Egypts new administrative capital, many new projects going up in China, etc.)
Given the number of contact tracing event's I've had since my kids school opened (with only about 30-50% in person attendance), I strongly disagree with 'safe'.

I've had to quarantine my oldest since his younger brother is at risk (asthma), and the toll it took on him was insane. We talked with him constantly over voice and video calls, he interacted with his brother over Amazon Echo's drop-in feature and online games, and we tried to do everything we could to make it as 'fun' as we could. He still has nightmares about being locked away from his brother, or that he got his brother really sick.

Why are we pushing for widely opening schools when even half-occupancy is dangerous enough to cause this kind of trauma to a child?

I'm sure I'm gonna get asked why they're in person, but the reasons venture to more personal than I care to post, but in short, they're both in Spec. Ed and weren't coping with virtual learning at all, even after many months of trying to figure it out. Combine that with two working parents and you have a recipe for virtual schooling (or zoom school as my kids call it).

I say we shouldn't open schools until we can vaccinate school staff. Preferably also students, but I realize that since most kids are in low-risk groups that's likely far off. Perhaps for high-risk students with compromised respiratory systems.
This is an excellent question. For narrow body aircraft we've studied, they require high propulsive power during the takeoff and climb phases, and a fraction of the peak propulsive power during the cruise phase. One aircraft we looked at required 30-35MW during takeoff and ~10MW during cruise.

So, thrust power and system level power density (kW/kg) are critical during takeoff/climb and cruise efficiency is important for minimizing energy consumption.

Like Audunw mentions, its very application dependent as well. It all boils down to the propulsion system mass fraction. For lower PSMF, efficiency matters more once you are above a certain power density. For higher PSMF, power density matters more. There is an optimal balance of efficiency vs. specific power for every aircraft. We can "tune" our technology relatively easily depending on what that balance is to maximize range.

I'll let my cofounder Max chime in since he does a lot of vehicle-level architecture and optimization. He's been doing some studies for rotorcraft and planes to look at how specific power and efficiency impact range/endurance so I'm sure he can expand on my answer a bit.

They are sending them because they are legally required to do so. There is nothing optional about it for most people. Parents have their jobs planned around their kids being at school -- again, because it is a legal requirement that the kids be there. Suddenly withdrawing that -- going on indefinitely now -- is causing all sorts of strain, especially in households where the parents can't work from home.
Any ideas on how to detect being the subject of such a simulation without prior knowledge that the upload would happen, or that uploading even exists?

I assume "without prior knowledge" because from the perspective of the administrators of such infrastructure, it would be beneficial if the simulated subjects did not know that they're being simulated:

This would increase their compliance greatly.

Making them do the desired work would then instead be conducted by nudging their path of life towards the goal of their simulation.

There are still a lot of people who need Intel, primarily people doing cloud development and in particular those who aren’t using an interpreted language.

I don’t how big this group is as a percentage of Apple customers, but in an absolute sense it’s significant — several $B worth anyway.

Also there are people who won’t buy M1 because they are (probably correctly, though I haven’t had any problems) hearing that not everything works right yet. If my mother needed to replace her MacBook Air today I’d get her an Intel one. I expect her next machine with be Mx though.

I suspect Apple will continue selling Intel-based machines into 2022, and perhaps longer. I doubt they will update them though.

On the world scale Poland and Germany are in the same economic tier.

The part that it will be messy, was actually what yourself said (so I didn't think you need evidence for that).

Well, one can also look at other models historically, if you think of a border as demarcation of the influence of a state. Historically China didn't have well defined border, the further away civilisations were vassal states which had to pay tribute (but received gift of higher value than the tribute, so the real tribute was acknowledgement of power).

Another example would be afghanistan/Pakistan. The border is very transparent and at least in Afghanistan there is not a functioning government, but war lord tribal areas.

But this is about border of state demarcation. The idea of people moving to other places is generally a new one (apart from earliest pre history or when masses do this, like in the migration period) new in the sense starting with colonization of the US.
We don’t have to wait for Eth2, there are several L2 solutions in the works right now like Optimism and Polygon
But maybe the fact that some kids can pay attention for 6 hours has made us as a society expect that kids should be able to pay attention for 6 hours and that the ones who can't are somehow deficient. Perhaps this is to everyone's detriment and the optimal solution for education for everyone is not the classroom model.
Noted, thanks. Didn't realize that was the issue.
Pretty small n for most such trends.
I think if we (including schools) acknowledge schools role, also, as childcare, then we are doomed.

Education and keeping a child busy are very very different things and should be different. Else the quality of education, which is already not held as high as it used to be, will erode further.

IMHO.

I think your arguments against UBI make sense, I also know a lot of good pro arguments.

But ultimately, whatever the arguments, as long as we bail out the rich, I don't care about potential downsides of UBI. Nobody cares about the downsides of bailing out the rich, so why should I care about the downsides of bailing out the poor?

In short, if: "UBI wrecks personal agency and responsibility", than so does QE, bailouts etc. for the rich. So these points aren't the real reason why the one thing happens and the other doesn't.

Fully agree with all your points, a better labour market is better than UBI.
I'm prepared to give most board meetings the benefit of the doubt and assume they discuss actual educational things.
School might not be 100% Covid safe, but the alternative of kids reducing their parents output and losing out on social and educational skills is worse that Covid. It's the same ethics struggle I see over and over again with Covid. Deontological: It is a little more dangerous, just shut it down. Consequential: We need to worry about the big picture and the treatment is worse than if we did nothing.

Teachers are not babysitters, just like they're also not parents, even though all of these roles involve some level of overlap. There's a reason we have different words, and it's to express different roles in this case. The teacher's job is to teach, hence the name. Babysitting is not their primary function, it just comes as a secondary effect of having the children around all day and needing to provide a safe and focused space for learning.

In a co-located datacenter with high performance network equipment this isn't true at all. The time from my CPU to a kernel bypass NIC to a cut-through switch to the exchange's FPGA gateway is in the low single-digit microseconds.[1][2]

> People who enjoy coding in C++ (all three of them)

I have coded both in Java and C++. I enjoy coding in C++, and I detest with a passion coding in Java.
Yup. I'm in disbelief after seeing that number. Digital government IDs of any kind are something that no government on Earth can securely provide. We're all too immature and stunted with software design still.
It may also be a legacy issue. This - i imagine - hasn't always been the case. If a two parent household only had a single parent working this idea would be quite sound, imo. That ideally shouldn't be the schools responsibility here. I want them to focus on what really matters, education.

However these days it's often necessary for both parents to work, and thus no one is available to watch the kids (and i'm glossing over single parents for simplicity).
Dad of a 6 yo here!

She isn't focusing on zoom for 15 minutes. She can barely use the track pad to unmate herself.
Personally, as a parent, taxpayer and U.S. citizen, I'm appalled by this.

Reality is that we pay taxes for children to go to school to get an education. I personally think we need school choice for the very reasons presented by this school board.

Maybe, I want my kid to only spend 3 hours a day in a classroom with kids and I'll teach them the rest -- can't do that in the U.S.

Maybe, I need my children to be in a safe environment while I work a dead-end job to make enough money to pay for their food.

The truth is, we pay taxes and the state, in effect, assists in raising the children. In 2020 they stopped doing that. Zoom does not help raise a 6-8 year old, who are they kidding. Continuing this going forward when the current research we have shows minimal risk from having students go to school is insane.

This school board should resign and everyone in the district should lobby for allowing school choice. This would help dismantle the power these school boards have and improve education quality.
As someone who's worked for a large part of my career as a sort of bridge between academia and industry (working with researchers to implement algorithms in production), both you and the original author are right to an extent.

On one hand, academics I've worked with absolutely undervalue good software engineering practices and the value of experience. They tend to come at professional code from the perspective of "I'm smart, and this abstraction confuses me, so the abstraction must be bad", when really there's good reason to it. Meanwhile they look at their thousands of lines of unstructured code, and the individual bits make sense so it seems good, but it's completely untestable and unmaintainable.

On the other side, a lot of the smartest software engineers I've known have a terrible tendency to over-engineer things. Coming up with clever designs is a fun engineering problem, but then you end up with a system that's too difficult to debug when something goes wrong, and that abstracts the wrong things when the requirements slightly change. And when it comes to scientific software, they want to abstract away mathematical details that don't come as easily to them, but then find that they can't rely on their abstractions in practice because the implementation is buried under so many levels of abstraction that they can't streamline the algorithm implementation to an acceptable performance standard.

If you really want to learn about how to properly marry good software engineering practice with performant numerical routines, I've found the 3D gaming industry to be the most inspirational, though I'd never want to work in it myself. They do some really incredible stuff with millions of lines of code, but I can imagine a lot of my former academia colleagues scoffing at the idea that a bunch of gaming nerds could do something better than they can.
If the externalities are on the national level, and the fed was seeking to regulate and own the responsibility, whole texas sued to foist them off, who has responsibility for the externalities?
This does cause problems, but maybe if schools acknowledged that they were childcare they would be better equipped to deal with some of those problems? Or even the structure of schools might change to better accommodate this requirement.

Now whether or not schools should be primarily childcare is an entirely separate debate.

You mean we decided to put them into an extremely artificial environment which they can't leave without getting into trouble, in which the primary skill of focus are academics at the expense of everything else.

Then, when they graduate from school, we expect them to swim and thrive in an environment that they have very little experience in, and that which a lot of people somehow muddle through life without certain vital skills like cooking.

OK. School functions as 'daycare' center. Sure. Because our society is structured such that parents are forced to work two jobs.
> The main reason why research code becomes a tangled mess is due to the intrinsic nature of research. It is highly iterative work where assumptions keep being broken and reformed depending on what you are testing and working on at any given time.

Oh, boy, how many times have I heard this working at a startup. There is some truth to it, it's hard to organise code in the first weeks of a new project. But if you work on something for 3+ months, it becomes a matter of making a conscious effort to clean things up.

> To make a concrete example, imagine writing an application where requirements changed unpredictably every day,

Welcome to working with product managers at any early stage-company. Somehow I managed to apply TDD and good practices most of the time. Moreover, I went back to school after 7+ years developing software full-time. I guarantee that most of the low-quality research code is a result of a lack of discipline and experience in writing maintainable software.

Apple is not selling MB Airs or 13" Pros for users who are running massive workloads like Kubernetes. It is the reason they left intel models in the current line up. The M1 models are for more pedestrian users and users with moderate video editing workloads.

I think they probably knew they had a bit of an issue in terms of live shows in that they had a pretty divergent audience it'd be very hard to please. It was already a bit of a marvel how well they combined their three albums into one show in 2007 and they were still pretty firmly a dance act at this stage (which I'd say has blurred a lot since as Discovery and RAM become increasingly dominant over Homework in mainstream recognition)

Outside of doing seated gigs (ie something very firmly to set the tone in advance) I'm not sure how you could clearly set a tone that wouldn't upset a large portion of the audience. I'd skip a seated gig for sure.

Plus the demand would be off the charts. Horrifically expensive tickets bought maybe a year in advance. That'd be a lot of pressure to include hits that may not fit very well in (e.g. thinking of how Digital Love was left outta the 2007 show, which was absolutely the right move)
