I'm interested by #3, as it is imminently to be my own situation (by choice). The few people who know thus far are all close friends, and even then aren't completely aware that "living off my savings" comes with the additional "and I'm >95% confident that I can do so in perpetuity." My parents think I'll be bored in short order, which may be true. But I've no idea how the rest of society would see it. Envious? Pleased for me? Suspicious of how it was achieved? Something else?
Considering stories about mobs trying to lynch innocent people they thought responsible? That seems like a pretty clear "No, the public definiely does not" to me. After they are convicted, maybe.

When a Martian delegation visited Earth in the 1950's, they studied the dominant lifeforms in order to understand the hierarchical organisation of any potential Earth defences.

After several weeks of undercover observation, the chief Martian explorer reported that life on Earth had at its apex the most powerful and revered predator which had subjugated all other lifeforms on all 5 continents.

Whilst the Martian term for this predator is unpronounceable, NASA cryptographers determined that the organism identified by the explorers was the automobile.
Also because anything new needs to go through a byzantine FAA approval process. That puts a strong bias towards keeping the old (and approved) systems online.

Seems like funding awarded by a panel of 'early-career individuals from top universities' would be a success-prone screening process.

But compared against the rigid and bureaucratic obstacles to conventional funding, it is actually closer to being a random application of criteria than what was otherwise available to the grantees.

The sad part about the mainstream academic institutions is that a more random award process is more sensible than what most researchers are normally facing these days.

No doubt 'late-career individuals who did top things even though they went to schools that were not well-known' would be a good qualification for a different success-prone panel, but you would expect the outcome to be vastly different.

Either way it gives some researchers a chance who would not otherwise have any near-term or appropriate opportunities.

Just different researchers.
Is it available on homebrew?
I was 30 (8 years ago) when I was diagnosed with it, but my teachers and friends had joked about my “ADD” since I was a kid.

A coworker was talking about their kid’s diagnosis and mentioned a bunch of the things they checked for and a little light bulb went off like “maybe I really do have it?”

I did well in school, tested extremely high in everything, and the few times my IQ was tested it was quite high. I also spent a lot of time in the hallway at school because I was a disruptive pain in the ass. Impulse issues (not violent) like class clown type stuff. I was popular, was good at sports, and got good grades- had any of those things not been in my favor I likely would’ve been sent to an alternative high school due to disciplinary issues.

I managed to accidentally find many of the coping mechanisms they teach about by myself over the years:
- EVERYTHING goes in the calendar
- Everything has a place and ALWAYS goes there or it will not be found
- I cannot over schedule my day, but I must have routines

After my formal diagnosis and months of therapy I reluctantly agreed to give a stimulant a try. I opted for one that is longer acting and takes longer to activate so as to avoid any “sped up” feelings.

It’s been amazing for me. We found the right dose fairly quickly, and I don’t even notice when it kicks in. Usually an hour or so after I take it.

It’s just like if a loud party was going on in your brain and you stepped outside and shut the door. All your competing thoughts quiet. I am so happy to have found it and it has allowed me to be more present and less internally anxious in most of life’s situations.

Could I live without it? Yep. I did for most of my life. Would it be as effect without all the work I did before? Maybe. I wouldn’t bet on it though.

My recommendation for anyone is basically this: the pills can do wonders but some day you won’t have them or can’t take them anymore. Make them the backup to the skills you’ll have for the rest of your life. Do the therapy, read the books, get the help. Then try the pill.

It seems like what's implied behind this question is that any Chinese hacker that's exposed to uncensored material would immediately turn against their evil regime, so the regime must constantly be on guard against ideological infiltration.

I think that's a really simplistic view of human motivations and a reflection of how China is viewed in the West onto how any "reasonable" Chinese hacker must also view China. When in fact, how this hacker might view about the situation could range anywhere from feeling that the government was justified in their actions from a realpolitik point of view to an acceptance that it's just one of those complicated problems in Chinese society that can't be solved overnight, like systemic racism or economic inequality in the US. I doubt Americans live every minute of their lives thinking of all the minor tragedies that occur in their country at any given moment, and is motivated by them to overthrow the American system. Rather, it's more of a shrug and carry on while trying to do a little better within the system they have.

I shouldn't have used Biden/Trump in my example, because where freebies really sway votes is not the POTUS, but in the dozens of other positions and issues on the ballot.

In Maryland this last election the ballot was like 4 pages long and took me many hours of prep work to determine who I wanted to vote for board of education, representatives in congress, etc. If you haven't done the prep work and only came to vote for the president, your vote in the other areas is up for grabs. That's why people at the polls try to stuff your hands with brochures and freebies that have names on them - anything to make their preferred candidate's name pop into your mind while you are filling out the ballot.
Commenting for visibility. Its much ado about old news. Upvote the parent.
The one real answer I see is that reporting itself still needs to be policed. If someone wants to post identifying details about a person that committed a crime then they are also agreeing / required to update that post as time goes on.

Or else. Perhaps some kind of special case libel charge can then apply.

Libel itself is usually argued using the truth as a primary defence. But perhaps there needs to be a variant that includes and allows the updated truth around factors such as time spent / reparations / time elapsed / severity / non-repeat / good behavior etc. A court might then order the removal or apply a penalty for failing to update to reflect that truth. This might improve outcomes for people. Maybe not.

I can easily see how a old web page from twenty years ago could haunt you forever. To take a trivial example: parking or speeding tickets. What if they were permanently published? For everyone. Big ouch. People are wierd enough about misdemeanors to likely knock you back for all sorts of things, let alone car theft or some drugs charge. I wonder how many felony records came out of the drug war? Too many. Felonies around cannabis are certainly questionable now and should have been expunged in most places. (Is it cynical to assume plenty haven't?)

The caveat is that even I can see multiple issues with this: historical records. Old news reports are in themselves part of the historic record. But they are precisely part of the issue. So some obvious tuning is required somehow. I can also see multiple ways the takedown mechanism itself would be abused. DMCA and everything around copyright has shown quite clearly these types of mechanisms can be abused and gamed.

Life is very complicated.

True but for none to that extent. It is difficult to be not Hindu, if you are part of the region no matter what you believe and practice you are Hindu. There are even atheist branches of the religion.

So in European context, think of a religion believing in Norse and Greek gods as well as Christian God simultaneously in a single fabric.

Many of these definitions of bubbles are so broad that any investment can be seen as a bubble, thus there is no bubble-free asset; making it a negligible distinction.

A definition I like, from Warren Buffet, on what is a bubble in contrast to an investment:

You’re just hoping the next guy pays more. And you only feel you’ll find the next guy to pay more if he thinks he’s going to find someone that’s going to pay more.

Getting major work done without a license seems like a great idea until one tries to file a major claim with their homeowner’s insurance.
"Third-way Democrats" (a.k.a. "Blairites" across the pond) are an amalgam of left and right ideologies, designed to pander to both, as long as the voter is close enough to the center. Socially progressive, but just as hawkish as the right on anything else. Calling them "left-of-center" depends on which metric you're measuring - on social issues, you'd be right.

This works out assuming that file copying is CPU bound. Traditionally this hasn't been the case but maybe things have changed with widespread fast SSDs and usage of disk crypto.

Traditionally the reason to use threads in small-requests i/o is to get multiple outstanding requests in flight in the hardware io stack which some hardware can use to get you more IOPS throughput. (They might end up hitting different disks in RAID, or taking advantage SSD internal parallelism, or whatever tricks spinning disks use to get more throughput with TCQ)

(Re your MacOS remark, Linux has support for copy-on-write file copies as well, see reflink and FICLONE / copy_file_range)
I would appreciate serial console output that doesn't take 10x the boot time of an instance to propagate.

Seriously, 30s boot time, 300s (or more!) to see that serial console output via the GUI or API.

This is a PITA if you're using AWS for short-lived CI runners, and the console to check what the SSH host key is of these newly spun up nodes.
I was on one of these flights, and the pilot told us that they actually had the weather information available to them on their iPad. He said the systems that failed were the ones actually creating the physical printout, which the FAA required for takeoff.

Yup, same experience in Nov. 2019-early jan 2020. My roommate came back from China sick and passed it to me. I was the most sick I've been in my life, 'out-of-breath' symptoms and couldn't taste anything for about 3 weeks. Took me 2.5 months to fully recover.

How do you ensure the fund sinks carbon back into the ground, and doesn’t simply evaporate into pockets and pet projects? It’s a fine idea, but needs to go directly to funding carbon sequestration with as much transparency and oversight as possible.

Re politicians, you’re absolutely right. They have no spine or will to drive the change necessary, whether out of beliefs or self preservation.
> (fortunately, most of us do not live in a feudalistic or caste-based or apartheid society, where this would be literally the case)

It's great that you agree with me about barriers, but you might mention it to the posters in this discussion who are explicitly making claims of feudalism and apartheid. Beyond that, my post gave a logical explanation for probabilities. I don't see where you provided a counter to that logic, or even addressed what I said. How is my statement about three generations, for example, countered by your claim about predicting mid-life expected income for a single generation?

While it may be a possible that the Maori discovered Antarctica hundreds of years before the Europeans, I am not sure the evidence is there for likely.

I have seen this pattern too many times. Many times a historian with a point to prove (often in the service of something about their nation) looks at poetic writing/oral tradition, and interpreting them in the best possible light, makes a statement that such as such was in fact known hundreds of years before.

Other examples include people who talk about the Bible or the Koran having sayings that allude to quantum physics or modern astronomy. Another example is Nostradamus, where his poetry is fluid enough that any interpretation can be pushed into it after the fact.

We should just be very leery when a researcher find what they were wanting to find when using very malleable sources(oral poetry tradition many hundreds of years after the fact).

Southwest Airlines flights are disrupted for the second time in 24 hours
I actually had a use case that would have made sense to use this, in theory, but the implementation left a lot to be desired. The tracker Amazon ran was really trigger happy to ban peers (I'm sure it saw tons of bad actors, but still, it made testing really painful especially if you were churning infohashes as you tested new objects). And the seed was somehow painfully slow. Never once did any of my test scenarios see faster downloads than just downloading from S3.

Maybe if I got some critical mass of users seeding, but since I couldn't get stats out of the tracker, I had no way to encourage users with gold stars or whatever.

And, on top of all of this, since you couldn't create a multiple-file torrent with this, you had to really work around silly limitations.
I'm not sure you read my comment prior to replying. I didn't make a claim, only posted quotes from a video that was referenced by a different poster. That way, people unfamiliar with the video would know its contents. So, I don't understand what claim of mine you attempted to debunk.

Instead of reading endless articles about a recording to determine if the recording exists, why not watch the recording itself?
This theory is substantially less likely for a few reasons:

* The predominant oceanic currents in the South Pacific around Rapa Nui come from Polynesia, not South America. So you're not likely to be drifting towards Rapa Nui. Indeed, traveling from Polynesia to South America via Rapa Nui isn't a particularly far-fetched idea.

* Polynesia, and earlier Austronesian antecedents, had a much stronger tradition of long transoceanic voyages. (Austronesians crossed the Indian Ocean and settled Madagascar before Africans set sail from their own coast to reach it).
What is more likely, a culture renowned for its seafaring ability and resiliency on tiny islands exploring far beyond their homeland, or a group from a resource rich continent leaving and reaching far despite their lack of experience with naval navigation and at-ocean life?

I would put my money on the islanders being the explorers rather than the mainlanders.
I got the same result and I was testing it with chrome on android, with no extensions.

You could always say integration is a function that takes a function and spits out another one, and differentiation is the inverse of integration. There's no intrinsic reason why an inverse is anymore difficult or why the derivative is the "base" and integration is the inverse.

The more abstract reason differentiation is easier than integration is that because differentiation is a local operation, given a family of functions differentiation will be closed within that family. That is the derivative of an elementary function is an elementary function, the derivative of a rational function is a rational function, the derivative of a function f is a function f' that is within the same family of f and will share almost all of the same properties as f.

Integration on the other hand does not have this property, and in fact it's very difficult to find family of functions that are closed under integration. The integral of a rational function may not be rational, the integral of an elementary function may not be elementary. Integration is a global operation whose solution may require the construction of a new family of functions whose properties are entirely unlike the function being integrated.

It's like how squaring a number is usually closed within that number system, but taking the square root of a number could require creating entirely new number systems, whether it's real numbers or complex numbers (at which point the square root is closed). With integration, the issue is that it never ends up being closed, you can use integration on a family of functions to jump out of that family and construct entirely new families of functions seemingly without end.

In a way, differentiation produces functions whose properties are a subset of the original function, but integration produces functions whose properties expand upon the original function.

Yes, and that’s not it. Unfortunately my constellation of symptoms does not seem to match any single entity. I have basically resigned myself to thinking that I may have an unusual genetic immunological or neurological defect. Think (this list is not exclusive or constant, and I go through multi-month cycles of subsets of these symptoms - all of them new onset since getting sick):
- assorted chest and abdominal pain
- thoracic spine pain
- migraine
- panic attacks, and strong palpable sensations of anxiety
- sleep disturbances
- blurry vision
- one-sided facial numbness and pain
- tachycardia
- fatigue
- nausea
- difficulty concentrating
- muscle fasciculations

Some days I feel great, some days I’m virtually incapacitated. Hundreds of tests and years of specialists later we have found an assortment of minor things but nothing that really explains it. I’ve even entertained the idea that it’s all psychological but years of therapy have given me techniques to control the panic attacks, but not stop the physical sensations that kick them off.
This is an incredibly common name... my association is with Amazon's Aurora--their "serverless" database product-- and it turns out that isn't even the only Aurora they are involved in as they bought a self-driving car company called Aurora Innovation. When I was trying to figure out when Aurora Global was founded, Google helpfully told me when Aurora Cannabis was founded (which was 2006).
