The version accepted in the journal clearly states that superluminal warp drives are physically unachievable because they violate the dominant energy condition. It means that superluminal drives require superluminal matter. This is in agreement with the conclusions in the IPWD paper. However, the version E.Lentz uploaded on arxiv or the press-release did not state this clearly.

The solution, imho, is to run the software for the food pantries. You’re creating a non profit platform for the entities you’ve decided to serve. YouTube tutorials, one click onboarding, the UX and customer experience is where all the hard work is at.

If you’ve succeeded, food pantries are beating down your door to use the software and you can objectively demonstrate how it’s improved the delivery of services to food bank customers. Your service is also top of mind when someone considers spinning up a food bank or organization with a similar use case.

“Uber or Deliveroo for food pantries” as the SV pitch deck would be written.

> SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core.

More like a love letter to Windows 95 :) It doesn't really have much in common with the Unix GUIs available around that time, which were mostly Motif-based (think FVWM, CDE etc).

In fact it looks so Windows-like (including the applications) that my first impression was that this was another go at making something like ReactOS. But clearly it isn't.

It looks nice though I was never a big fan of the W95 UI. I'm interested to see what it's about. I'll give it a spin.

Some of us have started to have issues with the "get ahead" mentality. Otherwise you are totally correct, wanting to get ahead implicitly means getting ahead of others i.e. out-competing them, but, like I said, some of us have started to see/understand that this battle is mostly futile.

> It should be easier to start families because families earn twice as much.

This is only true for DINKs, families with access to free childcare, or families in which both parents work schedules that can be arranged to make childcare possible, such as having non-overlapping workdays.

The cost of child care where I live in MD is slightly greater than my wife's maximum post-tax earning potential, so we've chosen for her to stay home with the children.

Moving back near family in NJ for the free childcare would reduce my income enough to negate any extra earned income from my wife working.

We can generally characterize a package manager as one of the following:

• source-based
• binary
• virtualized
• installer-wrangler
• functional

It can be hard to say what's best altogether, since paradigm (rather than individually differentiating virtues) might dominate a user's preference or need.

There's a set of common problems that all package management systems eventually have an opportunity to address, and each tradition is committed to a few fundamental tradeoffs in its solution to those common problems. Additionally, there are problems specific to each paradigm, and solutions within a given tradition address those with varying degrees of success. Package managers generally inherit the virtues and defects of their traditions when it comes to how they solve the common problems, but they can excel individually in terms of how well they resolve the problems specific to their paradigm.

Incidentally, Homebrew is a ‘traditional’ source-based package manager, but it's also been developed more or less naively (i.e., without serious examination of any other package managers in any tradition). So it has most of the annoyances that are common to traditional source-based package managers, and it additionally bungles a lot of the fundamentals compared to competitors in its class.

I think I'm not quite so charitable. To me there's a big difference between using some templates or UI libraries (e.g. Bootstrap or Tailwind UI) as they're intended to build a home page that isn't particularly novel, and shamelessly cloning the design of an existing home page. I'm a big fan of focusing on the product itself and treating the home page as "get the message across with as little design and engineering work as possible," but do the former rather than the latter.

[1] doesn't directly answer your question, but there are some interesting stats there -- over 300k children, 5 and up, work in Bolivian mines. Bolivian Miners die on average 25 years earlier than the average Bolivian. Overall, that appears to point to a significant amount of premature death caused by mining.

On the other hand, the answer to GP's question is that this study isn't predominantly about officework. It's a global study[2], and miners are likely accounted for. Americans account for less than 5% of the statistic.

The most surprising thing here is how egregious it is. Like everyone in these positions or studies this area knows there is no accountability on these, but they don't usually do it.

Outside of these circles I've definitely heard people assume there were greater stipulations on state funding or even bond issuances in the fixed-income market, and want to argue that with me mostly given the lack of evidence of executives taking advantage of it for personal gain.

Did you mean to enclose an actual source with that comment? Without that, it's difficult to verify the scale and validity of the issue you're raising (not that I necessarily doubt it; I just like to have more coherent sources than a pull quote from an anonymous commenter on an internet forum).
but the crime statistics should represent, as accurately as possible, the actual amount of crime that occurs.otherwise, what is the point?

Crime statistics are somewhat arbitrary and pointless. A large amount of things considered crimes, including things that are sometimes prosecuted, are "in the eye of the beholder". A significant portion of prosecutions involve interpersonal conflicts that slowly escalated. It's very to say when the threshold of crime starts given that American laws are quite flexible. The crime of "riot" is a group of people wandering around in a fashion that makes other people feel unsafe. Disorderly conduct includes being at a place of business without intending to make a purpose. People sometimes good to jail for such.

But given you also have, in this fine nation, a population of people ready to scream and call the cops about just about anything, if you record every single thing that these people report, you'll have a certified stream of garbage.

The thing is, while crime statistics are indeed somewhat arbitrary, they are sort of intended to be "how unsafe does the average person actually feel" which is different than "how unsafe does the occasional angry wingnut feel?"

Moreover, this nation counts among it's citizen
I remember the tail of these times. Were we less happy?

I don't think so, and people had more time to spare and did more together.
I think you may misunderstand my point. I'm not claiming covid doesn't go up and increase hospitalization - I'm simply saying there are a lot of false positives. Of course there are real cases that precede hospitalizations, but that correlation does nothing to show there aren't massive false positives. The more covid is spreading, the more real cases but also the more false positives. You need covid virus in the patient to test positive. A false positive means the patient isn't sick with covid, not that there exists no covid on that patient.

covid spread increases -> hospitalizations go up - we both agree on this point

covid spread increases -> false positives increase due to more viral spread that will attack asymptomatic/immune individuals (we do know that other coronaviruses have cross immunity with cv19 so it's not uncommon to be asymptomatic due to preexisting immunity)
Any chance you recorded any/could post?
You've linked to an article from August 2020 when it was still very much hoped that reinfections are just a fluke - virus particles not cleaned from the system or something like that. We have better data now, that comes from different methods and agrees quite well:

> If you are in the top 5% of earners, you have the ability to save enough money so you can switch to whatever level of employment you want.

I’m skeptical. My peers and I are in the top 1% of earners. We cannot save enough money to just opt out of our 1% incomes. Real estate is too expensive. (Bay Area)

I suspect many people in the top 5% are wage slaves as much as anyone else and have very little available in terms of viable options to continue the same lifestyle.

I’m in the top 1% but I still live in a 400sqft inlaw unit. Real estate is very expensive where you get those high incomes.

I suspect many people in the top 5% of earners aren’t my age though (30) and have generational wealth going on if not wealth from buying their home a long time ago when things were cheaper.
So the concern should really be directed to the NYT editorial staff who writes the titles for their articles?
> I did a little bit of Robinhood "investing" with a small amount of money during the pandemic just for grins, thinking everything would be neatly wrapped up on a 1099 form, but I accidentally found myself with an unexpected, incomprehensible (to me) "contracts or straddles" 6781 tax form to fill out, all because I made $25 in a specific type of fund

I've had the exact same experience, but with a K-1 (?) document. It basically meant i was a partner of an LLC i think, and it ended up being a TON more work, and i got charged more from turbo-tax... so i ended up losing money on that investment.

Worst part is that the company mailed me a paper document instead of from robinhood over digital medium, so i had to transcribe like 10 docs.
IMO the paper clarifies the misconceptions about all warp drives. They all need propulsion, for example, to be consistent with physics.

Inflation on its own isn't helpful, but when you print money just to pour it into the stock market, you help wealthy people disproportionately. You raise stocks while devaluing currency. Poorer people have a higher proportion of their wealth in cash, and are often paid in static amounts.

>You painting me as someone who is trying to avoid repercussions is interesting. Do you normally assume the worst about people when you debate them?

I think you are assuming a specific connotation on "repercussions". I'm not talking about "repercussions" in the coded "cancel culture" way. I am saying that you want the positives of speaking in public without the unwanted negatives. That is the literal definition of avoiding repercussions.

If your public speaking establishes you as some type of expert, people are naturally going to start reaching out to talk to you. That is the nature of public discourse. What that recruiter did is wildly unethical, but it is a natural repercussion of publicly showing traits of the person the recruiter is looking to hire. There are downsides to being a public citizen. You don't get a free pass to act unethically in order to avoid those downsides.
That's a decent summary. But it helps if people knew about prime fields (and I expect most people don't know enough about prime fields to learn about extension fields).

Prime Field 2 (F_2) is too small and too easy to be a good example. I prefer teaching prime fields with Prime Field 5.

5 is a prime number, which means standard math modulo 5 results in a finite field.

There are three attributes of a field:

1. An "addition" operator exists.

2. Every value "v" in the field has a value -v, also known as the "additive inverse". v + (-v) == 0 by definition. The value "0" is defined to be the "additive identity"

3. A "multiplication" operator exists.

4. EVERY value except 0 in the field has a value 1/v (where v is that arbitrary value). v * (1/v) == 1. This value "1" is defined to be the multiplicative identity. 0 has no inverse.

---------

So, lets prove that the F_5 is a field, which instead of using fancy math, can be done by exhaustion (!!!). I just show every single number on a case-by-case basis has the properties we want and we're set.

F_5 is the numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}. + is normal addition mod 5, * is normal multiplication mod5. By simply describing all inverses (both additive inverses and multiplicative inverses), and proving that they operate as expected, we prove F_5 is a field by exhaustion.

Note: a proper textbook would prove this in general over all prime numbers. This shortcut to just doing F_5 by exhaustion is just me taking a shortcut in explanations.

* 0 is its own additive inverse. 0 + (-0) == 0 mod 5.

* 1 is the inverse of 4. 1 + (-1) == 1 + 4 == 5 mod 5 == 0 mod 5.

* 2 is the inverse of 3. 2 + (-2) == 2 + 3 == 5 mod 5 == 0 mod 5.

* 3 and 4 play out identically. We've proven addition. Moving onto multiplication.

* 0 has no inverse (as per definition of fields).

* 1 is its own inverse. 1 * (1/1) == 1 * 1 == 1 mod 5. Not that numbers "outside" of the field, such as 6 still hold the property. 1 * 1 == 6 * 6 == 36 mod 5 == 1 mod 5

* 2 is the inverse of 3. 2 * (1/2) == 2 * 3 == 1 mod 5.

* 3 is the inverse of 2, and plays out similarly.

* 4 is its own inverse. 4 * (1/4) == 4 * 4 == 1 mod 5.

--------------

Note that the distributed property still works.

(2 + 4) * 3 == 18 mod 5 == 3

But we can also do it distributed, as well as shortcutting to use the new "multiplicative inverses" that exist in F_5...

(2 + 4) * 3 == (2 * 3 + 4 * 3) == 2 * (1/2) + 4 * (1/2) == 1 + 2 == 3

---------

As such, F_5 is a field. It is also finite in length (consisting only of the numbers {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}. Because all numbers have both additive and multiplicative inverses, we can have assurances on the inverse of matricies that use F_5 (as long as det(matrix) != 0, we can find an inverse, because division is always possible), we can always find the roots of polynomials, we can build elliptical curves, etc. etc. Lots of useful properties.
