>The issue of calling someone "a liar / cheat" if they're not belongs to libel. Same way yelling fire in a crowded cinema is a public safety issue.

>Expression of ideas is neither, and should not have "consequences".

Both libel and inciting imminent lawless action are expressions of ideas, that term is so vague as to be all-encompassing.

And the latter example has been upheld by the Supreme Court as protected free speech.
Just like SQL, it suffices to rule on one specific use case to keep being used.

I beg to differ. I see ensuring a level playing field while preventing abuse, as pretty much the only valid reason for any (internal) policy at all. Everything else is just history being written by the winners.
Your insight suggests an even better solution: the spacewalking astronaut could open the internal hatch to the docked Lunar Module so its cabin air can instantly partially repressurize the Command Module

Western society seems to have gotten the idea that "debate" is either talking heads trying to shout over each other, presenting prepared arguments to random unprepared people and claiming victory when it takes time to respond, or simply presenting opinions back and forth without trying to justify them. This is tied to the (independent but both incorrect) notions that whoever has the last word in a debate is the winner, and whoever wins the debate is necessarily right.

I think it would be valuable to somehow expose ordinary people to structured competitive debate, if only because it makes many of these falsehoods evident. This kind of debate uses the rules to select the positions of the parties and when they get to speak. Obviously the last speaker doesn't necessarily win, and the winner doesn't necessarily even believe their own position (so the debate doesn't prove that position right). Yet still, it's much better at educating people on the issues than any "debate" that most people have ever watched.

I was replying to a parent comment which said 'how can anyone oppose a union'. Some people legitimately don't want to have to deal with a union, for any of many reasons. For example because the union supports political goals they don't agree with, or because the union favours other employees over them, or they just don't want to have to deal with two overlords, neither of which may be working to their benefit.

If they're asked and they say 'no thanks' then the union should just say 'ok thanks for letting us know' and leave them alone.

There's a weird attitude amongst unions that there is no possible way anyone could not want to be represented by them. That leads them to accuse any vote against them of being illegitimate.
Switch is okay, but if you go for PS5 or XBOX, you will need a TV, also some space to store and use it, and dedicated time for playing. We haven't talked about the cost of games yet. Overall, consoles will be too expensive for developing world, mobiles is something you already have, and games are mostly free.
You’re attempting to use both red and blue coded language in the same sentence without making it clear that you despise the other one. The kind of college educated people who approve of unions would be appalled to be called a red blooded American. The kind of person who would be happy to identify as a red blooded American was a mainstay of the Democratic Party into the 80s or 90s but much less so now. Party identification is almost done changing from being about how much money you make to whether you went to college or not.
Why make (wrong) guesses when you can find the answer in minutes on Wikipedia? Plus it doesn’t make sense to do a TEI with unnecessary mass. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Lunar_Module :

“The six landed descent stages remain at their landing sites; their corresponding ascent stages crashed into the Moon following use. One ascent stage (Apollo 10's Snoopy) was discarded in a heliocentric orbit after its descent stage was discarded in lunar orbit.“

Elsewhere, I read that the ascent stages were crashed into the moon to provide impulses for the seismometers left on the moon. Snoopy is still in orbit around the sun. And the one from Apollo 13 is in the Tonga Trench. Two fascinating lists:

As for littering the surface of the moon, I was surprised to see in videos that in addition to the scientific equipment ( and golf balls) they left on the moon, there was a lot of other little pieces. In one of the videos on the rover, they literally remove the cover off something and just throw it aside on the ground.
I think in terms of politics, discussion today doesn't really matter and won't convince anyone. It's about identity, not opinions or facts, they don't really matter so when you are trying to argue with a conservative, he is right not to listen to you.

They may know that their worldview is all wrong, and they aren't fighting for it because it's right, but because there's nothing in for them in the alternatives: they need to preserve their black-collar workplaces for as long as they can, ideally till they retire (so they reject global warming and other concepts that definitely threaten them), they need value of their houses to stay or increase, or again they will never be able to retire, so they reject any multi-unit housing, affordable or assisted housing etc projects, and so on and so forth. They don't fight for their conservative ideas because they think they are right, but because they have vested interest in them being upheld at least for a while.

This is also why in Europe, politics is a lot less divisive. Because most people own nothing and have no vested interest in anything[sarc on], they are already on the hook of the Big State[sarc off]
Good post. This is a very important exercise for those considering a new venture or are in the midst of a new venture. I have used something similar for years. For the entrepreneur, the result is not always “yes” or “no”, but can be where to improve. KPI’s are also important.

Forcing the ecosystem to use shared libs for common, expensive taks like browser engines, JITs, etc, has clear benefits in terms of storage and battery life.
Not all enterprises are FAANGs and the immense majority operates at a tiny fraction of that scale.

While I don’t think too many businesses will buy this idea of using spare storage for “cryptofarming”, unused resources are pretty common.

The price of a cryptocurrency will tend to roughly follow the cost of generating it. In storage, it’s safe to assume the cost will only go down for the same amount of space. And disk space has been growing faster than transistor density for some time now.
RTS are quite good to play on phones and tablets, as another example.

I agree, it's all insane isn't it...

For neutrality's sake I'll say there's Team Green, and Team Yellow. When Green is in power, Yellow supporters might scream about a topic, like debt. Then Team Yellow comes into power. Spending goes crazy, Team Green supporters point out previous Team Yellow statements about debt, and their current conduct. What does the average Team Yellow supporter do?

The US is at a point where it's far more of a shame-driven society than Japan.

One wrong move and you, your family, and your employer are trending on twitter and national news and apologizing for your entire existence while everyone publicly announces that they're cutting ties with you.

Japan has incredibly strong defamation laws, where half the stuff that hits twitter in the US would land people in trouble in court in Japan for trying to ruin someone's reputation (even if it's justified).

Lots of mobile "games" are basically a casino, but the currency is time and you don't ever win anything. This is to the point that when I open older (pre-microtransaction) games on my PC, I'm momentarily disoriented because those mechanics are missing and I've gotten so used to them because they are so ubiquitous.
Maybe, IF the hatch can be opened when there is a pressure difference. It might be dangerous or even mechanically locked out in those cases. It may not, I have no idea.

I mean we're just guessing and spitballing here, and all of this assumes that whatever incapacitated the CMP is fixable by the other astronaut. But it does look like there may be a decent chance the CMP could survive this. Of course, he might have internal injuries or they might not be able to restart his heart. But seems like this procedure would be worth a try.
I don't think I'm strawmanning at all. You just accepted that unconstrained competition leads to violence. All you're doing when you argue against the principle of having global constraints is privileging one type of violence against another.

And you seem to accept as a matter of fact that "constraints can't be placed on the largest-scale structures". I don't share your confidence. The largest-scale structures are already self-constrained, because in order to reach a certain level of scale, it has to operate according to a certain self-imposed logic.

Even at the individual level, what is discipline other than a form of self-domestication?

I would even go so far as to flip your formula around and say that human motivations at every level of society can only come realized through a series of internal and external contraints.

Do the 7 initial reads access separate data from the remaining 64, or is the whole "plot" fair game for even those initial reads?

ETA: from looking at the docs, it seems that the 7 initial reads do access separate "tables". It should be possible to optimize by storing these on lower-latency storage, and even optimize further via parallel farming of many "plots", of which only a few at any given time will ever need to retrieve the 64 blocks denoting a successful proof. ISTM that tape media has real potential here.

I don't think this is true? It depends on several different things. If Amazon covers 100% of the insurance then they have to take it, or if it's in their employment contract that they have to take it, then they have to.

Additionally, if they are paid a low enough emount that they qualify for government subsidies on health insurance, they can't get those if they deny the Amazon supplied insurance. Edit: I checked, and Amazon warehouse workers are paid little enough that they get the subsidies, so without them, I'm skeptical they could afford insurance, especially if they have a family.

Finally, you can't switch any time, it can only be done during an open enrollment period or if you have a major life event like getting married, I think?

Wow. That is incredibly uncharitable, bordering on slander.
it's a bit different, voting for a Democrat president is excluding the Republican one.

When you vote for an union, you absolutely do not vote for your employer to become an asshole, it's not "either the union make the employer improve employees work OR the employer does it on its own". The union and the employer could create an alliance to make life better for the employees. Look at what police unions and conservative towns have done, unionized policemen can literally get away with murder.

There is no exclusive choice as to who should plan bathrooms breaks for runners and drivers: either the employer, or the union, as long as people stop having to pee in a bottle, you could even have a coalition with a giant conspiracy to have employee go to the bathroom when they need to.

At the time of writing there is violence on the streets of Northern Ireland due to a not unfairly held sense that NI has become more closely aligned with Eire that the UK, and an election in Scotland in which the nationalists are once again going to win a majority, with the stated aim of using this mandate to organise a referendum on independence (which current opinion polls show the public would support).

Yet ironically, in an article the purports to support "viewpoint diversity" in the UK, none of this is mentioned. Not even at a time when the UK is literally breaking apart (which sounds like hyperbole, but is not).

You could change the title to read "New evidence that _English_ workplaces are losing viewpoint diversity", and it would be less egregiously incorrect, but it would still lack perspective.

The whole article is basically a long-winded way of saying that English conservatives don't feel comfortable speaking up for what they believe in, and that is fair enough, with the caveat that conservatives views are now being treated with the same suspicion as, say, communist or republican views were a few years ago.

Also they seem to be using and spelling "polarisation" incorrectly.

> Also Compared to Python Fortran is an old school compiled language - you have to get used to working with a compline/link cycle without the interactivity that Python has.

I mean, yeah, Fortran is a bit old school, but being compiled is not exactly old school. Plenty of modern languages are compiled. I'd even say that Python and JS are the odd ones out from a modern perspective.

I have seen this quote thrown around a lot and have never had the proper context to understand what Hoare was getting at.

The quote is from 1982[1], which seems a bit too late for any “Fortran juggernaut” jokes to have been relevant, and even in 1982 I would have guessed that Fortran was considered a bit old-fashioned. Was he commenting on its comparatively simple design, compared to “flashier” languages like Pascal? Was he just noting its ubiquity in science / government work? Or was Fortran at the time considered a buzzword, something cool-sounding to rope ignorant managers into approving tech projects?

I am a Young Person (thirties) so this era of computing is before my time. More to the point, Hoare’s statement was a deliberately squishy social comment and not a rigorous computer-science comment, which makes it harder for outsiders to “objectively” understand his point. I just can’t see a way that Fortran really fits in the comment - what was the punchline supposed to be?

Lots of propaganda and dark pattern stuff I saw with my own two eyes used in the campaign, and now possibly even coercion (compulsion to act involuntarily under threat of force) = people may or may not have voted rationally in their best interest despite or because of all the propaganda. my opinion on the result irrelevant either way. in fact i dont even need to mention it, it's that irrelevant. the outcome of the election itself was compromised and there is no magic time travel button to find out what would have happened if we did it over. therefore we must take the results at face value and just really really hope as hard as we can that this is the same outcome as it would have been otherwise

Not lots of propaganda and dark pattern etc etc = people rationally voted for their best interest, again regardless of my opinion on the result

Either we treat elections like they matter and dont unduly manipulate the outcome or we don't. One doesn't get to pick and choose which elections are "questionably carried out"

Agreed, my response was not meant as a judgement on whether a draw would be a better or worse conclusion. I was trying to highlight the broader context around the events and their outcome.

In this case it wasn't immediately clear who won and the officials had to make a call under pressure with millions of people waiting. They called Van Aert as the winner based on the imperfect data they had. Was it the right call? Maybe, maybe not. In an alternate timeline they might have called Pidcock, or a draw, or a redo of the last 1km.

The takeaway is that this rare occurrence happened and sparked lots of discussion, which hopefully leads to technological and/or regulation changes to could handle these occurrences better in the future. I would call that progress.

In regular file storage, data error rates must be very low.

In Chia, fairly high error rates are still very profitable.

Current hard disks might see one uncorrectable error every 1,000 TB read from them. Chia would be fine with one error every 1 megabyte.

That difference might allow custom drive firmwares to put far more bits far closer together, leading to cheaper less reliable storage for farming.
About TV debates — A lot of these have moved to podcasts and YouTube these days. Eg the Oxford Union debates on YouTube, some of which are quite popular. I suspect some talk radio, eg PBS and BBC Radio 4, will also have interesting debates. Radio 4’s magazine programmes like The Life Scientific, In Our Time, The Public Philosopher, Reith Lectures etc certainly make for extremely interesting listening.
But interfacing with Fortran from other languages is easy (well, barring some compiler assumptions that everyone seems to be making anyway). Why not leverage the general purpose strength of languages like Rust or C++ or Python (or even C), while still retaining access to the vast trove of numerical Fortran libraries?

(Not that I'm judging, people should use whatever language they prefer).
