Some European countries are using a variant of this. When I opened a brokerage account, I had to give an estimate of my level of familiarity with various asset classes and was excluded from trading the ones I am not proficient in.

Unfortunately, the implementation is absolute bullshit. Proficiency is exclusively measured in experience, leading to a textbook example of Catch-22: You can trade precisely whatever you've already been trading in the past.

I do believe that some basic level of understanding of the mechanics of markets and various asset classes should be a pre-requirement, and I like the driver's license analogy: Just like in road traffic, with investment decisions, your actions don't only endanger yourself.

Unfortunately I don't know how that could be implemented without being yet another driver of inequality or being extremely easy to bypass.
Or.... consciousness collapses the wave function and solipsism is the nature of reality. Observables are just very large unevaluated expressions that collapse via lambda reduction ala becoming a tautology. As you gain more information, more alpha and beta reductions become possible, and expressions simplify into static values instead of multivariate/dependent expression trees. The universe is a first person JIT experience.

Search for Wigner's friend. Relational quantum mechanics is the only logical and consistent epistemology for what all this means.

Effectively, nothing ever changes, just extra information allows for simplification of observables backed by large expressions.

The universe is inherently lazy, and it's like LISP. PG come at me!
That and a 2021 blog post that renders half screen width on my phone
To be fair, it seems that that blog post and the Quora responses are older than her book, where she clarified her position significantly more, though your claim about the majority of particle physicists disagreeing with her is likely still correct.

The important difference between now and when the answer was written is that she has given her own alternatives: she believes that only theories that resolve an explicit contradiction or open problem in current physics should be considered, such as quantum gravity or dark matter or the measurement problem; while theories that simply fix 'ugliness' should be ignored, such as grand unification.

Furthermore, she believes that theories with open parameters whose range exceeds possible near future possible colliders should not be tested, even if the lower bounds on the parameter could be testable - this is true for supersimmetry or WIMPs. Since ruling out supersimmetry entirely requires a planet-sized accelerator, there's no reason to keep building slightly larger ones just in case.

Finally, she makes a concrete recommendation: shifting focus to astronomy as a better way to observe high energy particle physics occurring in the universe, investing in much more advanced telescopes instead of bigger particle colliders.
I have heard the same but also made the same observations. Something seems to be off.
List price is meaningless. When I was looking at Bay Area houses plenty of realtor set the listing price intentionally low to drum up interest and a potential bidding war.

It’s like the house that went for $1M over list. Sold at $2.1M, just like the other comps in the neighborhood. The list price was $1M below comp.
Oh please. The Imperium is evil in their own special way, just as everyone else in that universe. To believe that people who like them somehow feel the need to justify that rather than just enjoying a game for what it is, a game, is absolutely stupid, or at least extremely uncharitable.

The argument can be applied to all species - it is engrained in the ongoing diversification process of life itself: all species by definition have traits that set them apart from others, more or less radically. It is mostly a matter of what perspective you want to apply: are the differences the most important, or the similarities.

But the main point I was trying to make was really this:
> To the extent we have any unique such traits currently that radically sets us apart from other species then it has been a long and gradual process over eons

I.e. there is no need to find a specific point where all that makes us human came into place. It all happened gradually, albeit with some leaps and bounds for different traits, at different times for different things, and we carry the legacy of all those millions of years with us, not just the last 200 KY. And we share substantial amounts of traits with other species.

Regarding Duolingo: I thought it was a fun way to learn the basics of a language, but I quickly found it to be extremely inefficient.

I've been ignoring Anki for many years, thinking it was overly complicated and being disappointed that I had to create my own sets.

I recently had the opportunity during the lock down to make use of around kg of saffron milk-cap saffron (aka, red pine mushroom, or Lactarius deliciosus), and it utterly changed my concept of what mushrooms could be.

Until that point, I would have told you that I hated mushrooms - that they tasted like mold, or at best, slightly wet rubber - but the saffron milk-caps were completely different, nutty - almost meaty, with a proper texture. Since then I've been on the look out for more interesting mushrooms in my various local grocers, and look out for recipes that make them shine, rather than just using them as filler.

Well, if you go for pure solipsism, that is, your own consciousness is the only thing which exists in the universe, that can explain any phenomenon you want.

But objective collapse due to anyone's consciousness does not solve anything - my observation of this particle still causes infinite speed effects on your particle, so the universe is anyway non-local.
This is a great 1985 Danish documentary (it's in English) that details Einstein & Bohr's fundamental disagreement regarding the interpretation of QM, and Alain Aspect's 1980-82 EPR experiments showing the violation of Bell's Inequalities. Both the historic elements and Aspect's groundbreaking experimental setup are detailed.

It's a little gem featuring interviews with a young Alain Aspect, John Bell, David Bohm, Abner Shimony, John Wheeler, & a very excited Holger Bech Nielsen. It is very accessible yet hugely informative, and somehow (with that soundtrack) enchanting.

I guess that the main option is the second one. Lidars, once they are solid-state and cheaper will be a better alternative (smaller, more precise and much faster).

The first option isn't the good one. Ultrasounds are already used in car parking assists and people trying to improve them would have gone the same route as I did.

It's only solipsism in the sense that my wavefunctions do not have to agree with yours.

"When falling behind, the system fix is to hire more people until the team moves into treading water."

I actually disagree with this statement. Teams can be falling behind for a variety of reasons and throwing more people at the problem can often cause further issues especially if the domain / technology / code base / system ..... Is complex.

Onboarding people into a team is an incredibly costly exercise, to do it while a team is already struggling will often create a worse problem. You need to be sure that the reason the team is struggling is purely an hour's in the day and not due to other factors.
> Regulation does not exist to prevent people from taking risks. It exist to prevent people from buying something with a risk profile that they do not understand.

I agree, but I think the difficult question here is determining when somebody understands a risk profile.

If a person, at some rational level, understands that a casino is a zero-sum game, that their real return will rapidly approach the expected return of zero the more often you bet etc., but at the same time has a pathological gambling problem, should they still be allowed to play?

> The risk is first order and easily understandable by retail investor. At least as much as going to a casino.

Casinos are heavily regulated in some jurisdictions for precisely these reasons.

Great Tom Sawyer ref. It continues, "Well, I know that. And suppose there ain't. Didn't Gracie Miller fall in the kitchen fire and burn herself terrible the very next Saturday?"

While Gracie Miller survives her terrible burns, who knows what happens to her after the novel? A ref I know you'll just love is:

It was written in 1885 by Holger Drachmann as a midsummer hymn (midsommervise) called 'Vi elsker vort land' with a melody composed by P.E. Lange-Müller. Singing this surrounded by people and in full view of a flaming witch on a bonfire can feel very surreal. Burn the witch. Love the land. Burn the witch. Love the land. Drink some beer.

During Sankthansaften/midsommer burning the witch spirits to rid the land of them is a cause for celebration, and along with keeping shoes pointing up at doorways and chanting 7-9-13 after boasting or saying something good (to prevent jinxing it), helps keep the good luck flowing and the harm away. We can respect these parts of cultural tradition and belief, as we respect the people to whom they mean something. :P ;) xx
It used to be tongue in cheek, but then we got to see Poe's Law prove itself in real time. Every time I join a 40k community, 80% will be communists making fun of nazis.

Game Workshop's focus on trying to be marketable instead of comedy doesn't help this at all, as they start choosing sides to turn into the good guys for traditional storytelling and marketing purposes.
I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it but I would say a bigger problem is that the stimulus is encouraging people to not work which discourages production of goods/services. A lot of the inflation I've experienced it directly from less people providing goods/services so those who are producing have more pricing power and simply raise their prices. I recently got quotes for some construction work and all of these contractors say they're booked out for MONTHS!

We need to start rolling back on all of the stimulus and COVID rules we've implemented to encourage people to return back to work.

Once this happens, I believe production will increase and inflation will dissipate quicker.

You can't have active pf correction for real in there (so pf would be 0.5). Pretty much all of them have bridge rectifier + capacitor. Most of them lack input filtering (common mode choke). The real issue is that even with the best light/power ratio, 2/3rd would be heat and that heat has to be dissipated. Electronics hate heat, even with full aluminium body, the light bulb requires plastic casing (as there is no earth available), so heat dissipation is heavily limited.

Personally I have mostly near ceiling lights in the house. The non-dimmable/remote control ones would be fully repairable. For ones with the remote controls I can't replace the microcontroller as I could not copy the firmware but all the power driver would be fixable (the controller can be replaced with esp-32 and blue tooth dimming, though). Of course, for most people that would be an extra hassle and fully replaceable lights are likely better. However, custom designs allow for the most optimal heat dissipation.
I would argue that you can't point to a single source like that in ecology.

Grasslands are the way they are due to draught as well. They have dry periods, and during these they catch on fire and the whole thing burns down.

> "A grassland can become either a desert or a forest if conditions like temperature, amount of rainfall, how often fires occur and how many herbivores live in these areas change. As more and more trees grow in a grassland, it is sometimes called a savanna."

> Using just '12' also signals that fractional units of that currency are not something that establishment deals with (which is fine for Japanese Yen or South Korean Won, but comes across as rude for Euro, and most Dollars and Pounds).

Pedantic note: you will routinely see prices specified as “12” on menus in coffeeshops and restaurants in Korea, and it would mean 12000 won.

I personally treat it as just one of the tactics a place employs to set expectations and attract/repel audience according to its preferred vibe.

While the article is correct in pointing out the government's complacency over Covid-19, I'm not sure whether mass gatherings were the reason for the second wave.

Of course, mass gatherings in such a period are stupid and will only lead to a huge amount of cases and deaths, but India had already crossed 100,000 cases a day well before the Kumbh, driven by 70,000 cases a day in the state of Maharashtra, where there were no political rallies and the state has nothing to do with the Kumbh.

I'd be happy to understand why this is so from someone with a deeper understanding of the situation.
I've alerted amazon to this via email, chat, and even phone.

They barely even take note, or act like they care.

I've written reviews disclosing this, Amazon denies publishing them, or they are removed after.

I cannot belive they care, not when they could open packaging and verify customer claims.

I even sent back an item, with the bribe/review scam which was inside the box, taped to the outside of the box.

Amazon does not care. It would reduce profit to care, and their actions show they do not care.

Always watch what people do, not what they say. Amazon's actions are clear here.
