Trace fossils, the most inconspicuous bite-sized window into ancient worlds
I'm not sure that the Roman senatorial elite is properly described as an 'aristocracy', since ancestry had become less and less relevant wrt. social status even as early as the late Republic. Wealth and social connections became a lot more important at some point, but people from different backgrounds could acquire those with comparable ease. Of course citizenship status still mattered, but that was gradually extended over time as well. Ancient Rome seems to have been a remarkably open society by the standards of their time.
That's probably because they were rarely heads-down for 8 hours in the office either.

I’ve actually struck up a number of interesting conversations with my wildcard email pattern where I give e.g. a retailer something like “walmart@<my-domain.com>”. Lots of people are confused at first but generally end up getting it and thinking it’s a good idea.

I actually went to an orthodontist once and when filling out the form online the day before I use the Dr’s last name tor the local part. The next day when I went in for the appointment two different people separately made a point to ask me about it and how they could do something similar. It was far more interesting than the discussions about my damn jaw alignment (:

> If you change the game and say the host is blind, you have to also make a rule about what happens if the blind host reveals the prize.

The most natural rule is that the guest loses: the guest picked a door that didn't have the prize, they get what's behind "their" door. (And note that the much-argued formulation already "changes" the game from what was done on the original gameshow).

> The problem statement is: "What strategy (stick or switch) is best for the guest (= has higher probability to win), provided he gets into the game show final."

Why "provided he gets into the gameshow final" and not "provided he gets into the gameshow final and is offered the chance to switch"? Like, if you're asking whether a chess player should take an en passant capture, you'd look at whether capturing or declining en passant leads to winning more often, you wouldn't look at all possible chess games (including those where there was no chance to capture en passant) because that just adds a bunch of irrelevant cases.

For me it goes like this (best to worse).

WFH Forever (as I currently do).
On-site own office
Small Office (only devs)
Cubicle
Open Office.

Should note I will not work in an open office as in I used to ask in the interview if it was an open office and if so terminate the interview politely.

Small Office/Cubicle you'd have to be paying spectaculary well.

On-site own office I'd consider for market rate and WFH - just pay me the average for my level.

Basically if you want me on-site it'll cost more, if you want me on-site in a less than ideal working environment (for me) it'll cost even more.

I am not saying all is fine with India but yes if you know your way around, you choose good cities to live, you can truly live life king size here compared to any other country.

Horrific/Terrific – This week in tech, rated on a five point scale
In tech, only ideas gets stolen. There are very few things that are really worth of being secret in software.

For games, hard work is just this: content (which has IP on it), debugging (which is specific to a certain game), handling GPUs (requires engineers, work is obsolete in 3 or 5 years), a few gameplay mechanics (cannot be patented).

Patents only matter when data is about some expensive, long term research that requires physical testing and labs, like a new molecule for a medicine, or some method or building a material.

Even when HL2 source code was stolen, it did not really matter.

As opposed to, say, running a code (already existing in client software) for rendering transparent surfaces (by sending client a level that features such surfaces)

Also I think sometimes there are vulnerabilities where you can technically run some tiny bit of your code on a vulnerable machine, but it would lead to a crash. Hence, people use "arbitrary code execution" to distinguish this particular threat from the less severe ones.
The virus didn't go through the approval process either. We already know it has serious side-effects. It's self-replicating and able to spread to others. It probably wouldn't even pass animal testing.

Why would you take the higher risk of choosing the experimental virus over the experimental vaccine? It seems to me you're holding the vaccine to higher standards as the virus?

I'm not who you're replying to but strictly speaking "republic" simply means a government based on rules, technically every democracy is a type of republic. But the US system is a republic very different from a democracy, with democratic institutions but also rules and institutions that cannot be changed democratically and many non democratic processes.

To understand how the US government works it is very similar to the UK under Oliver Cromwell prior to the attempted creation of the third house, it was basically modeled after that period of UK government.

Agree.

I know some and at least two are genuinely good people, the kind that would literally and metaphorically take a bullet for for a good cause.

One of them is a qualified nurse, the other an engineer.

I think it is because they have listened to Q.

That is of course bad, but we should ask ourselves: why do good and reasonable people end up there?

Can it be because politicians and media has been caught lying and covering for each other for so long that people don't trust them anymore?

Just yesterday Glenn Greenwald published a detailed walk through of how "Trump used tear gas to remove peaceful demonstrants to take photo in front of church" has been debunked.

It is not the first. That's just another one.

How can people know who to believe?

My latest approach to this has been a very logical one:

say - for the sake of the argument - that doctors and scientists in Europe and US are in the pocket of big Pharma.

If we can agree that Iranian doctors and scientists are not, can we then agree that something else is the reason why Iran still hasn't conquered COVID-19 despite having access to Zink and vitamin D and all the cheap generic pills that are supposed to fix COVID-19 so much more reliably than the vaccines?

I think the OP is trying to get at the relationship between the constituent States the make up the United States and the Federal government.

Personally I like the idea of devolving authority away from the Federal side and towards the States but honestly it's a giant rat hole that mixes power politics (something Americans do well enough with) and history (something that Americans do not do so well with).

In any case more centralized or less centralized is the work of decades not years so I would hope no one is holding their breath in any direction.
One important difference is that coalitions are fluent, and party P can choose to join a coalition with party Q or party R, depending on their electoral perspectives and alignment of values, even if Q and R are bitter rivals and never would form a coalition between themselves. Those who voted for P won't mind because P would still mostly stick to its program, for which the voters voted.

Can you imagine a reasonably large group of politicians to move from R to D or vice versa, and not lose the voices of their electorate?

I can't give any insight in my bosses' brain only my own:

Working from home opened my eyes. I already hated going to the office because of rude/loud coworkers, an open floor plan, nothing to do in my breaks than to sit at my desk (no nice parks near me) & a 15 mile (30min) drive to work.

During my time at home (during my breaks) I was able to do some gardening, visit my mother-in-law and walked our dog. I took me around 2 minutes to get ready to work. All of that on top of being able to concentrate. I actually liked my job and was looking forward to working again.

Now that I'm back in the office I just feel out of place. I can't concentrate, I have to talk to people who think they can interrupt me at any time even after politely telling them to get lost. I don't get much stuff done, my productivity dropped to pre-wfh levels.

So to all managers/bosses/whatever that insist on everyone being in the office: Fuck you!
As opposed to code that's already there.

It could be running part of the game code. Deleting saved games, for instance.

Getting control of the client application is different from pushing arbitrary code (any code the attacker want) on the machine and executing it.

An in-between is return-oriented programming, where an attacker gains complete control over the execution flow of a given program. Even if they aren't able to push different code on the machine, they can chain parts of existing code to perform arbitrary computations on the machine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return-oriented_programming

I see, thanks a lot. As far as I could read in the few minutes, the Federalists were opposed to identity theory, Rousseau's idea of direct democracy without political parties, whereas the Federalists were pluralists, like Kant and Aristoteles. IOW, this is not about the current meaning of democracy (as almost all current democracies are both pluralist and federalist, though of course to varying degrees).

And with the news that Tether is holding alot of US commercial paper, crypto is starting to really cement itself into the existing financial community.

Though if the report that Tether is holding as much commercial paper as claimed is true they've really put themselves on the US regulators radar.

As people here are fond of pointing out, regulators jobs isn't to protect everyone, but rather to make sure markets working an orderly fashion. Anyone holding that much paper is going to be scrutinized pretty thoroughly and come done on pretty hard.
You're absolutely correct, but it proves my point.

I taught in a state that's consistently rated in the top 5 for public education. The specific institution I worked at was a private school with admissions tests well above the public curriculum.

Cathartic is certainly the word. The title in particular really hits the mark for me.

There are a lot of people talking about computer programs, and telling us we should do things this way or that way. Even telling us that their way is certainly the best or only correct way.

A great many of these people - perhaps the majority majority - are plain wrong. Some of them talk such nonsense that I suspect they don't have any actual ability to program at all!

How can they be so sure of themselves?

You're looking at the past through rose tinted glasses. I remember those times also. I remember when there was no internet, so your only source of information were these thick technical manuals, which often you had to pay a lot for. Developing software was also gated by expensive commercial compilers. Nowadays you get access to the wealth of documentation online and compilers for all major languages are available for free.

L4 and L5 are stable (see Jupiter's asteroid collection), but the others involve essentially trying to balance on a infinitesimal pinpoint, with any perturbation causing one to "fall off" and move away.

That's why, despite having the choice to work from home, I am going to mainly work in the office.

> I wish people wouldn’t conflate not wanting to take this particular vaccine at this particular time with being “anti-vax”.

I don't think those same people were brave enough to be 'early adopters' and neither were they participating in the clinical trials since they also love immature and untested vaccines so much at the time didn't they? Like everyone else, they were waiting until they got 'approval' from the FDA and other regulators.

Some trials may not even give the full picture of the side effects involved with those vaccines and the risks are also not known yet until widespread adoption happens. Then you can make a decision on which one to take, if you can. In most cases, the risks are very tiny anyway.

> I don’t see why people are so offended by this view. I literally get seen as a crazy person simply for wanting to wait until the same standards have been applied.

The ones resorting to desperation and extreme hatred towards those who wait and want to know the risks later are those who's businesses require humans physically being present and are unable to adapt.
