This is correct and needs to be upvoted more. The number of residency slots is artificially capped and already fails to serve the number of medical school graduates in the country. The Balanced Budget Act of 1997 is the basic vehicle for this cap. In Dec 2020 the first expansion in decades was passed, adding a whopping 1000 residency spots.

Look up Graduate Medical Education program for more info. For more key words, see this document from the U of California system that has an agenda (increase capacity) but also effectively lists salient points: https://www.ucop.edu/federal-governmental-relations/_files/f...

I'm considering the "safe demolition and disposal" to cost multiple orders of what it would cost to rebuild the containment ...

so yes, at some point the new containment cap need not be as expensive, but by the time we have gotten to that point, the site will probably have consumed a lot more money than just building the same containment over and over again. Some future leader(s) would probably do the calculations and just say "let's build another 100-year-containment so the next generation can deal with the disposal" and pocket the money.

It's the "tech debt" discussion embodied in real life.
Maybe, but also maybe we shouldn't be making policy based on how many people wrote things on an internet comment forum.

The collection, cataloging, and storage of personal data is the issue. We can have effective ads without constantly looking over everyone's shoulder and documenting what they do. But obviously, the author sees this data collection as beneficial, I respectfully disagree. I left advertising because I didn't like what I could see on the backend.

If there is fungi on Mars did we deliver it there with our various rovers and probes? I know they do a pretty good job of making sure those things are sterile, but have all countries who have sent probes to mars been as careful?

Even if you could do it in a non-obtrusive way, I would argue that this is a very wrong direction for many languages. The reason is that the static information is only the worst-case. How much a cache a subroutine consumes is a dynamic property, as is how long it runs or whether or not it blocks a thread. This worst-case information, reflected statically at the language level, is useful only when you're aiming to optimise for the worst-case, as you do in hard realtime domains; in most other domains, you might want to optimise amortised or even average costs.

The reason this is being considered for removal is that even though the mechanism is very flexible and powerful in theory, it is too elaborate to be used correctly by most programmers in practice.

Some of those pictures do look like mycelia, but it could also be ice. The pictures that claim that there is "growth" could also be explained by wind covering and uncovering structures that are only a few millimeters or centimeters below the surface.

Fungi basidiocarps are mostly water, so I find the comparisons between puffball fruit on Earth and the pictures of puffball-like structures on Mars questionable. Why would fungi on Mars be macroscopically similar to those on Earth when conditions are so drastically different?

I think this is just another case of pareidolia.

> 5. Raises that matter. Not some 1 or 2 pct insult.

IMO, pay or raises don't matter much (as long as it's enough to live without worries).

If the company culture is bad then yes, it's all about money. Pay me top of the market or I'm looking to move. But if the job is a pleasure and I'm respected, I don't much care for the pay.

What does it take to make job a pleasure? In a summary: respect expertise.

I wouldn't dream of telling our legal or accounting departments how to do their job, they're the experts in their fields. But for some reason engineering no longer commands any respect (pay != respect) so has lost all autonomy. (I say no longer because it wasn't always that way, in the 90s engineering expertise was highly valued.)

Here are three sure fire ways to make me leave ASAP:

"Agile". If you treat everyone as a replaceable cog kept under the daily whip of constant status reports then don't expect me to stay very long.

Lack of autonomy. If engineering decisions are being made by a product manager with a BA in Arts instead of principal engineers, you can bet I'm interviewing behind your back. (Sadly this is most silicon valley companies these days.)

"Unlimited vacation", aka might get 2-3 days per year. Instead, align compay interests with mine, accumulate vacation days and I can take everything I've accumulated. No less than 20 days per year + holidays.

> Whatever the church thought of the heliocentric model, astronomers must have been convinced as soon as Copernicus proposed it. Far, in fact, from it.

I don't think this tells the whole story. The church didn't immediately view the heliocentric model as a crazy new idea.

> In 1533, Johann Albrecht Widmannstetter delivered a series of lectures in Rome outlining Copernicus's theory. Pope Clement VII and several Catholic cardinals heard the lectures and were interested in the theory. On 1 November 1536, Cardinal Nikolaus von Schönberg, Archbishop of Capua, wrote to Copernicus from Rome:

> "... Therefore with the utmost earnestness I entreat you, most learned sir, unless I inconvenience you, to communicate this discovery of yours to scholars, and at the earliest possible moment to send me your writings on the sphere of the universe together with the tables and whatever else you have that is relevant to this subject ..."

(From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolaus_Copernicus#Heliocentr...)

The church's stance against the heliocentric model developed later, and probably for religious and political reasons.

Secondly, rational astronomers shouldn't have been convinced of the model as soon as Copernicus proposed it. It wasn't yet proven. It's like string theory today. It may have been an elegant theory, but a good scientist shouldn't consider a theory proven until it's actually proven.

Relating this back more generally to the essay, I think there's a bias in how we retell stories from history that makes it seem like great new ideas were initially mostly considered crazy. It makes a better story when one person overcomes the odds and invents something great despite everyone telling them they're crazy. But reality, most new ideas had a mix of detractors and supporters. We just remember the detractors better and amuse ourselves thinking about how wrong they were.

In general, the people and groups in the US that hold real power largely hold power because they have realized that as long as you keep cheating, eventually you will control the people and agencies responsible for punishing cheating. Rigging a process or stealing an election is fine because by the time the court case gets a hearing from a judge, the answer will be "well, the process/election is over, so we can't do anything about it."

As time passes we see more and more groups intentionally exploiting this and exploiting it more often, and it feels like it will only get worse, especially since we can see it happening overseas in major political referendums or elections. The impact only grows bigger as these systems are exploited to put people in lifetime positions, so that the damage can't be undone for decades.

It's really unfortunate because the knowledge that the system works this way makes it very easy for people to make false claims about a particular election being stolen or the methods used - people seriously making claims that "fake ballots were flown over from China" [1] or things like that when the reality is that theft is simple and not the work of foreign spies, illegal immigrants, or hugo chavez [2] - it's our neighbors, fellow citizens, elected officials, etc

To move such immense amounts of water, you need energy. A lot of it.

For that energy to be available, you will likely be creating carbon dioxide.

This raising the levels further.

This requiring more energy.

It's kinda like the rocket fuel equation, except the end result is throwing some of the most precious resource we have into space.

If an energy hungry solution is what you are after, you'll be far better off raising the landmasses at risk than trying to siphon the oceans.

Frankly, if all you do is create a separate administrator user, leaving your day to day account as standard, and enable disk encryption, you’re going to be so much more secure than the default target.

Encryption is super important because it secures your data in case your machine is stolen. There is an active market for identity data from stolen hard disks; don’t be that victim.

Frame I have used on HN many times:

Many people have a favorite TV ads. People watch the Super Bowl for the ads. People sing radio jingles to themselves. College kids put nice magazine ads on their dorm walls. People pay money for clothes with logos that are essentially just ads for themselves. People watch videos of influencers unboxing/using/reviewing products they are paid to unbox/use/review. Etc. People love all kinds of ads.

No one likes banner ads. It is failed ad format and should be replaced. No one likes direct targeting. It should be made illegal. There are lots of other ad formats and methods that work great. Those two are the problem.
Pretty boring article, just paints a psychological profile of a what a "victim" is, but then it gets spicy:

>This is just my hypothesis, but there are certain societies, particularly those with long histories of prolonged conflict, where the central narrative of the society is a victim-oriented narrative, which is the Jewish narrative. It’s called “perpetual victimhood.” Children in kindergarten learn to adopt beliefs that Israelis suffer more than Palestinians, that they always have to protect themselves and struggle for their existence. What’s interesting is the way in which this narrative enables people to internalize a nation’s history and to connect past and present suffering.

I don't think Palestinians would agree with that. This particular dichotomy is fascinating, but impossible to discuss because you're discarded as an antisemite immediately if you disagree that Israelis are victims.
They're all important. I don't really see the point in chosing one or the other.
One reason is that they now have the highest stock price and that's a cool selling point for BK. Not their only one, clearly, but a neat point to make.
BRK.A are "voting" shares. My understanding is that they want to keep the "voting pool" to be richer / upper class people.

Rumor is that the shareholders meeting is a giant party, a who's-who of the elite world. You can only have that culture if you have a very high barrier to entry. In any case, the high share price ensures a certain class of people in the voting pool: an old-school sense of community and elitism but... hey, you can't argue that it doesn't work.

Not much other reason needed.

You should check out the posts in MacRumors and this long thread in Reddit.

This issue is quite well known for those who followed the Apple M1 rollout closely. My suspicious is that

1. It is the same USB / Thunderbolt Charging issue again as with previous Intel Mac. Where basically the USB-C somehow fried the CPU. ( Louis Rossmann has tons of video on it )

2. The CPU / System is simply not designed for these type of usage. Especially with zero cooling. ( Sometimes, I would even leave the machine switched on for overnight rendering )
And it could also be other component that overheat.

> For example, under net neutrality ISPs are not allowed to privilege high priority packets such as real time video streams.

Net Neutrality does not block standard QOS techniques.

Additionally, ISP level QOS of IP packets based on content rather than src/dst is mainly vaporware anyway. You don't have the time to favor certain types of packets at the routers, the streams are going too fast.
Unsafe code isn't evil, but it is scary, and I think that's what the 'nomicon is trying to get at. The reason it's scary is the risk of undefined behaviour, which is perhaps even more dangerous than it is in C, because you can completely violate the invariants that safe Rust code relies on.
It sounds not very compelling. Id rather give Netflix $50/mth and not worry about any of that.

Yeah, we at Observable love Vega-Lite (and Arquero etc). My coworker Ian wrote a great summary of how Plot relates to Vega-Lite here: https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-vega-lite. Like you said, his first point is that Plot uses plain JavaScript functions instead of Vega Expressions.

Another difference is that Plot does more type inference, e.g. using d3.scaleUtc if the values are dates and d3.scaleLinear if not.

I wrote a similar notebook about Plot and D3, though the differences there may be more obvious: https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/plot-for-d3-users

I read it's because he only wants the most absolutely committed investors owning shares, not superficial speculators. You would overthink if you had to spend that much on a single share.

Although modern platforms with their fractional shares might negate the advantage a bit.
2. Depends on what your business is. A company heavily reliant on profiled advertising will have much higher costs than the typical small business with minimal (or no) advertising.

The small business (perhaps with a mailing list and a database of previous customers and invoices) should have been compliant with the earlier laws (Data Protection etc), and the changes required for them are often minor.

> What if someone loses their legs on the eventual Mars base? Are they just SOL

Realistically? Yeah, I think they'd die. Even if the Mars base had a trauma surgeon, which is a big 'if', would they really be equipped to handle something that severe? Would there even be enough medical staff to support a surgery that involved? If so, that's must be a very developed Mars base. If the Mars base has facilities more comparable to the ISS than an aircraft carrier, I think anybody in that situation would die.
> If you feel like you need to donate to charity to justify your actions, maybe your actions are evil?

You’re way off base here. The author links to the Effective Altruism page on “giving to earn” one link deep in: https://www.jefftk.com/donations

This is a well established concept, the idea is that in many life situations you can maximize your positive impact by taking a well-paying job and putting that money into charity.

So the arrow of causation is the opposite to what you are claiming; starting with the desire to give to charity, what job optimizes the amount that can be given?

It’s disheartening to see the cynicism that is being directed towards someone that is transparently advocating for making the world a better place, and taking the time to put their thinking in public to seek feedback on it.

>> The RISC-V vector registers are in a separate register file not shared with the scalar floating point registers.

> Honestly... in hardware, they probably are actually in the same register file. It just now means you have two sets of architectural registers that rename to the same register file.

You could have a single unified pool of physical registers that can be handed out to any register, but there's only some advantage to do so and a lot of advantages in keeping them separate. Either way, that's a micro-architectural detail that the designers have the freedom to choose (or not choose) to do.

From the software's point of view, there's a lot of advantages in keeping different architectural registers separate.
