It's incompatible with physical reality, no such hotel could exist. The paradox is in applying infinite math to physically realistic problems.
> Do companies say "Right, I'm not going to make an extra billion this year because I'll be taxed at the EU average 20.7% tax rather than the US 21%"

No, but their owners might go: "Given the risk, the potential returns and the taxes that I'd need to pay on said returns I'm better off putting this money into real estate, finding a cushy low-stress job and enjoying life instead."

I think its mostly groups on social media. Some groups can be rational, like a jury, or a committee full of intelligent people. But for them to be rational, there has to be the correct incentives and culture of discussion (i.e. no social media algorithms, or divisive politics).
I wonder if this has/had anything to do with the recent investment from China in Portugal? Part of the terms and conditions? If so, it puts a new, dark spin on African investment by China.

This was an attempt at a contrarian clickbait blogpost.

Obviously noise is a problem. That's a separate issue from loop tautness. Tight is a measure of loop size not accuracy of information as the article claims. This is similar to accuracy vs precision.

It's worth adding that whether or not the right thing is measured is not related to feedback loop size. The "timely" 737 Max example that was peppered in shows this. Clearly what was being measured was not related to the problems the plane had.

The unsubstantiated (not even anecdotal) claims based on the author's confusion (e.g. data-less diagram of masters preferring loose loops) seem to be the author taking his own advice. They're complete speculation, not even pretending to be attached to reality.
Most common bottleneck is lack of competence.

Direct visible effects are wrong decisions entangled in spaghetti-like complexity.

It's hard to reach technical bottleneck in well designed systems. Computers are really fast novadays. They will vary greatly depending on what kind of system it is. Out of resources – cpu, memory, network, disk io – likely the weakest of them will be saturated first – network. But that's not a rule, it's easy to have system which will saturate ie. CPU before.

What is wealth but income accumulated over time?

(Or wealth stolen from others. Oops?)
You make it sound like having ease to start companies leads to a better social security net. Easier to start companies -> more companies -> more taxes -> safety net.

Sounds credible in theory, but the reality is that despite it being harder in the EU than the US to start a company, the safety net is much stronger in the EU. So there must be something wrong in that theory.
> does indeed have the objective of hurting people

That simply isn’t true. Generals and civilian leaders set the objectives of the military, and typically their objectives are to minimize casualties on both sides of any military engagement.

The military does use force and does hurt people but that is not an objective.

"Moving" has nothing to do with the paradox. Being reassigned to a new room could take 0 time, with no buffer. Mapping n to n+1 creates a hole at 1.

It's an unphysical model, that only exists in abstract mathematics.
Yes. Use a queue abstraction for which there are numerous queues available off the shelf for!
There are two ways you can define the hotel as being full:

1) The hotel is “full” if all the rooms are occupied.

2) The hotel is “full” if there is no way to rearrange the existing guests to leave an empty room.

These two definitions of “full” are equivalent for finite hotels. The ‘paradox’ is illustrating that these two definitions are not the same for infinite hotels. It serves as a useful reminder that there might be more “space” in infinite sets than we are used to in the finite case, and that if we are dealing with infinite sets we should keep in mind the fact that (1) and (2) (or whatever analogues are relevant for our problem) might be different, despite seeming the same based on our real-world experience.

I agree, there are lots of outrageous claims out there about "provably secure software" which seem very dubious.

What are your thoughts on SEL4, is it really a breakthrough it is made to be in success of formal verification? Is there a way for users/administrators deploying it to verify themselves authors' claims? Or is it too difficult? I am afraid the latter...

In 2004 Peter Gutmann in his thesis/book criticized the hype around effectivity of formal methods in computer security [1]. Has the situation changed?

In my experience, great abstractions without a good data migration blueprint is as about as useful as no abstraction at all.

In this example - great, you have a “queue” abstraction. When you switch to RabbitMQ or Postgres, how do you move your existing data without a quality of service or data loss? It can be difficult with production datastores even if the abstraction within your service is beautiful.
Anyone flying a fighter jet in aerial combat with other fighter jets knows what they signed up for and are facing opponents who signed up for the same thing.

War is terrible, but this is one of the very few situations in modern combat where there is a clear line between civilians and the combatants. Everyone engaged is a willing participant.

In this situation I'll apply Doug Stanhope's logic:

I made too many edits. HN autovoted down. It's legit
Ye well my point is there is no number to add that is not allrady in the set and that the hotel clerk can't change that by rearranging guests. I.e. there are no guests that are not allready checked in (each guest need a room with a natural number on the door).

Edit:
I.e. the error in the paradox is assuming that there can be any more guests to check in when the hotel is full.

Yeah, I proposed the idea to my wife and she called me a lazy loser if I do that. It's interesting how I somewhat agree, but would never call her that if she floated the idea to stop working to raise our daughter.

Nothing in your links supports your claims. The articles don't say anything about the supposed prisoner exchange.
First things first: large != largest.

Now, if a country has their hands in some of another country's largest companies, and many of them in key sectors such as banks, telecoms and energy, and in many cases becoming the biggest shareholder in such holdings, to the point where a countries own parliament has to hold sessions to protect their own bank's exposure to Angola, well, call it what you want, I'd call that large.

I worked for one of Portugal's great energy companies, both in Portugal and in Angola. I was working for them in Angola, when they were struggling financially because they could not compete with other European and and Chinese companies, both in Europe, South America and Africa, and I was there when the Angolan president's daughter bought the company and I was there when the company employees were relieved that deals would now become easier because the new majority shareholder also had the power to make the Angolan utility company sign new deals. In fact, the president's daughter forced the national utility to also become a shareholder. Even more, the forced the utility to also pay for her part of the shares. And the proud Portuguese company clapped through it all.

I've got about 6 years operational experience with Redis. I would not use it for a queue. I struggle to consider using it as a data store these days as well with other options on the table. But that's a whole new thread so I'm not going into details here.

If you want a queue, get a queue.

If you want a relational database, get a relational database.

If you want a key-value store, get a key-value store.

Don't cross the streams.
Well, that’s OK, because it did take me a while to track down the pieces of the documentation and find a procedure that worked for me. There is some less-than-optimal advice out there about this.

Become root.

Install debootstrap, which is in the Debian and Ubuntu repositories, at least.

Make a directory to contain your embedded system. It can be anywhere. Let's use /var/lib/machine/machinename.

This command will install a new, minimal Debian system in that directory:

debootstrap --include=systemd-container stable /var/lib/machines/machinename http://deb.debian.org/debian

It will download everything and, if I recall correctly, works unattended (doesn’t ask questions).

Enter the container with

systemd-nspawn -D /var/lib/machines/machinename/

and set the root container password with passwd.

Then do

echo 'pts/0' >> /etc/securetty

so the guest OS will let you log in after it's booted up. You may have to add other pts/x entries. I'm not sure about this part; it may be that if there is no /etc/securetty file that there is no problem.

Now log out of the container.

To boot up the guest OS, use

systemd-nspawn -b -D /var/lib/machines/machinename

You will see the familiar console messages.

You will find advice on the web to include the -U flag here, which causes files in the guest OS to only use UIDs known to the guest OS when determining ownership and permissions. This leads to headaches, because you have to set the ownership of any file you copy in from the host system. Leave it out, and you can have parallel users on the host and guest OSs, which is more convenient. But you may have to change the UIDs of the users on the guest OS so that they match.

Now, on the host OS, you can use the `machinectl` command to control all your guest OSs. `machinectl list` shows you what’s running, `machinectl login` lets you log in to them, and there are several commands for killing them with various levels of violence.

If you want your machine to be a long-running service, just `nohup` the spawn command, and direct output as desired.

If you want to be able to communicate with your machine from the internet, opening sockets from within the guest OS works, as they share the network interface. For a public-facing web service, you can install (for example) Apache and pick a port number to listen on, then set up a reverse proxy on the host OS, using a dedicated domain or a subdomain, so the users don’t have to use the custom port number. I’ve found that certificates for HTTPS need to be installed on both the host and guest OSs.

Good luck!

Bret Weinstein's Discussion with Dr. Pierre Kory Removed by YouTube
Certainly there were people other than the mayor involved. Mayors aren't autocrats. And regular worker/bureaucrats had to be doing the day-to-day collection and dissemination of information.

This is the reason why mass data collection by the likes of Google and Facebook is so dangerous; not because of whether we can trust people now to do the right thing with it but because it depends upon trusting future holders of that information.

This whole situation is rather shocking to me. I feel naive. Which, as a deeply cynical and suspicious person, is not a good feeling.

Not everyone can do "something." A lot of jobs aren't meaningful or even necessary, and given the increased tendency to require 4 year degrees on top of internships, connections, and more for many jobs makes it harder to obtain them.

Also, a lot of jobs that would employee these men are disappearing. Retail in particular is the employer of last resort, but physical shops are slowly dwindling in numbers. People are a lot more aware of how bad the military is to be in, too; there is much less glamour around it culturally.

A lot of people don't see the effects of their decisions. They leave a company after 3-5 years and go and work somewhere else where they get to make the same mistake again. The bottleneck indeed is lack of competence.

As for technical bottlenecks, it's quite easy to hit a wall. Be it through layers of stupid or unexpected success. We have unexpectedly reached the limit of what is possible with x86-64 on a couple of occasions due to stupid decisions made over 10 years previously for which there is now no longer the budget or attention to fix.

Exciting encounters and spine-chilling near misses
The phone manufacturer bears the most responsibility. If it wasn't Pokemon Go, it would be TikTok or Snapchat. Instead of having every single app implement some kind of restriction, cut it off at the root. If Android and iOS disabled any phone screen moving faster than 5mph, a lot of deaths would have been prevented at the cost of a few people unable to text on their Uber ride.

People simply cannot not look at their phone while they're driving. We've had ample time to learn this lesson and do something about it. We haven't done anything about it except pass ineffectual phone-use laws and some very ineffectual software nags. I suppose there's a lot of money invested in people using their phones while riding or driving.

Consequently, I know a lot of people who have been seriously injured or killed.
By no other Falcon-9 maker, you're ignoring the equivalent but slightly more expensive Ariane 6. Difference is around 7 million USD per launch. Both can piggyback multiple cargo pieces. The one and only difference being that SpaceX launches more often and is a bit cheaper. Also looks cooler when the booster lands. The turnaround time is similar.

But Themis is coming and this advantage won't last forever. SpaceX better hope Starship stops exploding and is as cheap to operate as they hope it will be.
Yeahhh, that's a fair point about unnecessary complexity. The docs say if only one symmetric key is necessary, you can just set one of tx/rx to null, and the other will still be the requisite 256 bits, but I appreciate why that's a bit ugly.
Yes, I agree, incremental charges, focussed where the cars spend most inactive hours = parked at work or home.
That means Tesla needs to make a unit with only 100 miles range, at far lower weight and cost, to serve that market. In fact they can sell 100, or 200 or 300 or 400 mile options, also with power options - few need 0-60 at 3 seconds.
So the model 3 could have 4 range options, and 3-4 power options = all in the same chassis to suite the buyers needs.

Chevy is going to do this, so should Tesla once they get enough mega factories - which chevy already has.

I feel the market will proliferate in this manner. Could be overlaid on other models, mini-vans, cube vans, roadsters etc.
