I don't know anything about this particular Lowell High School, but selective admissions at the high school level achieve excellency by filtering out "bad" students, which are usually students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
If a public school is of very high quality, selecting 10 year olds at random is not much less fair than choosing them based on their grades or extracurricular activities or an essay. Unless we assume that high grades, extracurricular activities or essay tutoring are not correlated with family wealth.

If certain demographics are heavily underrepresented (and I don't know if it's the case here), either we must assume that they are less smart (and so produce less "high school material") or we must acknowledge that there is some form of discrimination. The latter being almost certainly true, lotteries and quotas don't look like the dumbest ideas.

> Why not just lower the tax rate for corporations altogether

And use market pricing mechanisms? To what end? An efficient market? You madman! How will we be able to consolidate our power and command hefty campaign contributions if we cannot pick winners and losers, rewarding our supporters while meting out punishment to those who dare oppose us?

If we go down this road, moreover, we might then have to admit that, besides taxes, our regulations and our multi-decade environmental reviews are there to cause problems, not just to solve them — that safety, pollution, justice, are all well and good themselves, but even more importantly, they are tools for us to express political favor and disfavor, to bend society to our will, and our advantage.

No. We must feed the machine. Shakedowns today, shakedowns tomorrow; shakedowns forever.
Just like JavaScript is frequently everyone's top choice for the browser, and PHP is frequently everyone's top choice for making their websites dynamic in most ISPs.

I don't run Maddy, but I do run email for an organization of a few thousand people. It happens on occasion from various providers, The larger organizations(MS,Google,etc) will spam your logs SMTP errors with a URL. You visit the URL and do whatever actions they want that particular day and life goes on. It's not hard, but it is a bit annoying sometimes.

Generally if you have a static IP and you don't go being all stupid with spam, it's not THAT difficult, but you do have to jump a few hoops and then occasionally play wackamole with their spam prevention junk for the month.

It seems to come in waves, like email will be fine for a few months and then 1 provider after another will be all upset about gosh knows what that day and you have to visit URL's and push a few buttons.

I've been to lazy to track it, and the various reasons for that particular day, but this has been my experience. A few times a year you have to go babysit SMTP so email can be delivered again.
I suspected it was bait, but FreeBSD jails being better than whatever Linux has is such a common meme that I'm asking anyway just in case someone actually knows enough about them to answer.

I don't know enough to say for sure, but my current impression is that Linux namespaces are actually more powerful than jails, but harder to use because the kernel doesn't provide a "simple" interface to create an isolated container, and userspace software implementing containers get to use the individual bits as they see fit.
My favorite theoretical description of multilayer networks comes from the first multilayer network, the 1986 harmonium [1]. It used a free energy minimization model (in the paper it is called harmony maximization), which is both concise, natural and effective. I find the paper very well written and insightful — even today.

I haven't fully read the current paper, but it doesn't mention "free energy"— which seems odd given their emphasis on thermodynamics and first principles.

A big question in my mind is "do the big and little cores have the exact same feature set?".

If they do, then any process can run on any core. But even the little cores have to support fancy SIMD stuff and have hundreds of registers.

If they don't, then compilers need to be aware that simd or other features could suddenly vanish anytime. There needs to be logic for checking CPU capabilities at the start of every loop and switching to a different implementation depending which core we're currently running in. There probably also needs to be some kind of exception handling in the OS to emulate unimplemented instructions for backwards compatibility.

The symptoms sound like ADHD. Are you sure that's not the case? Have you tried sleeping more or the opposite - sleep deprivation (which can often relief ADHD) or nicotine?

The FDA has a page on Invermectin for Covid treatment, which provides a reminder that veterinary drugs are not designed for human consumption.

https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/why-you-shoul...

"For one thing, animal drugs are often highly concentrated because they are used for large animals like horses and cows, which can weigh a lot more than we do—a ton or more. Such high doses can be highly toxic in humans.

Moreover, FDA reviews drugs not just for safety and effectiveness of the active ingredients, but also for the inactive ingredients. Many inactive ingredients found in animal products aren’t evaluated for use in people. Or they are included in much greater quantity than those used in people. In some cases, we don’t know how those inactive ingredients will affect how ivermectin is absorbed in the human body."

Honest question.

Countdown to Tess Lawrie being attacked 3,2,1....
I studied Engineering Physics and specialized in semiconductor engineering. In our courses we made a working SAW-filter. We did everything from design, to silicon fabrication,to bonding, packaging and testing. It was a fun project, I learned a lot and I still have my little SAW-filter.

To add a little background, I think there are two main reasons that made this project possible:

1. Our professor was very good at organizing donations of decommissioned equipment from the industry.
The department was well funded and that certainly must have helped a lot, but what made all the difference is that our professor was much better at getting in-kind donations than most of his colleagues.

2. Selecting the SAW-filter as a project was a brilliant idea. It enabled us to make a completely working product while teaching us basically most essential steps that are used in the production of real active semiconductor components too. At the same time it allowed us to skip the really hard, expensive or dangerous tasks like high-resolution masks, multiple masks and the whole business of doping.

I work in the immigration industry. Not as a lawyer, but I own a business that is used extensively by both large and small immigration firms (ImmiTranslate).

I will say that some of your characterizations are accurate, and others are not. I've not worked with Peter before so I won't comment on him specifically, but your assertions about law vs. clerical work is spot on. I will add my own input as well.

Immigration attorneys in the US are similar to hacking groups, minus the illegality. Good hackers have their own 0day exploits. Good attorneys have their own techniques for obtaining legal status in the US. Dealing with USCIS/ICE/EOIR/State is akin to bureaucratic hacking. Anticipating what the Government agencies want to see and hear in your petition is their exploit. Finding the appropriate supplementary evidence is their payload.

I don't think your assertion of solo attys vs medium sized firms is accurate. In my experience, solo immigration attorneys focus on the easy to win cases (like K-1 visas and AOS). This segment of the market is diminishing because of the fact that it _is_ mostly clerical work.

Likewise, the big firms are simply too big and expensive to want to approach one-off cases. They deal with the FAANGs and Fortune 500 companies.

For those reading this, consider that everyone has exceptionally complex circumstances that surround their immigration status and legal options here in the US. Obviously Peter cannot comment on it and OP has not shared that much information.

> Fun fact: When you accelerate an electron across a potential of 4.5 volts, and then stop it suddenly, you get a photon with 4.5 electron volts of energy. That’s why different colors have different voltage drops.

This explanation does violence to conservation of momentum, since \hbar / \lambda is miniscule for the photon compared to the electron. The correct explanation involves recombination with a hole across the bandgap, which is how momentum is conserved in the interaction, and the motion of the electron is not involved other than transport for electrons to find holes for recombining.

This latest video about the vaccines is strange. This guy wrote a paper because his handyman had a heart soon after getting the vaccine. And because of that he started looking for evidence that the vaccine isn't safe. These are smart people but they don't seem to understand sample sizes and statistics. I don't think there is anything wrong with asking if the vaccine is safe and gathering data to find out. Youtube is doing a disservice is they disagree with me, but they are not making a strong case that the vaccine is a bad thing.
Without randomized trials you cannot recommend a drug because you cannot exclude confounders. It seems wrong to me to even speak of "overwhelming evidence" without a randomized trial or other sound ways to control or identify for confounders (e.g. causal models).

> inner voice/narrator is just illusion.

It isn't, it's a physical phenomenon you observe which yields information. But you don't have and should not believe everything it says, let alone believe it is you.

Theoretically you could run something GPT3-like on your personal computer (which is approximately the same kind of a part of you like a finger of yours is), train it on everything you can remember and that would be less you than your inner voice is.

Some schizophrenics apparently have particularly fluent inner voice and too little capacity to perceive it critically.
I don't think expert witnesses are supposed to be necessarily impartial and can't personally favor one side or the other winning a case. It's part of the legal process that attorneys go out and hunt for the best possible advocate for their side. Additionally, expert witnesses are often paid a fee for their time and effort involved in preparing for and appearing to testify on a case. If we want to talk about bias, it feels like accepting money from one side should be just as damning as having a familial connection.

To me, it feels like any potential bias should be disclosed in legal filings and argued by the other side of the case during the legal dispute, and the judge/jury should weigh this in whatever decision-making process they employ.

In closing, I'd say this. Preparing for a serious trial might cost tens of thousands of dollars or more. Do you really want to live in a world where you can't offer to help a family member or friend who asks for your help in a subject matter you know about?

Remember if Ivermectin was considered a safe treatment, there would have been no Emergency Use Authorization for vaccines. There was huge incentives to suppress the Ivermectin story until the vaccines were approved. Merck claimed it's own drug (off patent) did not have enough safety data. This is a drug taken by millions of people every month for decades.

Just to defend Dr. Percival a little here(since I have the same stance, though we do also support TLS), the RFC's require you to support non-encrypted SMTP. Since you HAVE to support it(not only per RFC but because in the real world so many SMTP communicators are stupid, lazy, or ignorant), there is little point in trying to make email secure. Until such time as everyone decides TLS1.3+ is required for SMTP, there is no hope, so why bother.

Our external auditors get all upset about it every single year, and every single year, I show them the RFC's and they then shutup about it for a year. If you feel strongly enough about it, try to get a RFC passed where SMTP requires TLS now.
If they had asked the OP, he would have told them Germany, not Thailand, so they likely would not be in compliance with the law.
> A zero corporate tax rate would highly disincentivise corporate reinvesting into things like capex for expansion or R&D.

Valid point, but are there other ways to incentivize companies to reinvest profits without the incentive being tax avoidance?

I would be a proponent of 0% tax on small-ish corporations, perhaps with profits under $1 million (or maybe $5-10 million), so that small businesses who can’t afford an army of accountants to hide profits are brought up to a slightly more level playing field with bigger corps.

I grew up with Windows as my daily driver so I feel a bit of nostalgia but after switching over to macOS about a decade ago when I look at Windows it always feels to me like their engineering/design efforts are just alright with getting things 85% correct and then never finishing the job.

To me it feels like the OS simply doesn't respect the user's time.
This is fascinating, but also worrying how people might extrapolate too much from innate evolutionary upbringing. We’re social beings and there are so many examples of social constructs that benefit humans as a species but run against the grain of our more primal tendencies. It’s still important to study, and interesting nonetheless. But too often I see it used as a justification for people to express certain types of behavior (e.g. physical altercations, etc)

Tried this recently, and it's a complete mess if you run low on disk space. When trying to move a 100GB game to the SSD recently it turned out that:

1) steam will not rediscover the files automatically at startup or by attempt to launch the game, nor is there any specific option

2) the existing file discovery process is instantiated by forcing a new download of the game

3) this process will not begin unless there is enough free space for the game

So in the end, I had to copy the files back to the HDD to make space on the SSD, start an install of the game on the ssd, exit steam, copy the files to the SSD again, open steam and resume download, then wait for it to verify each file.

matthewlloyd believes that distributing a bootloader and Marlin on the same flash memory makes them one large program, so Marlin's GPLv3 license should cover both. Prusa believes that the bootloader and Marlin are two separate programs aggregated together, so they can have separate licenses.

It does not make sense to me to consider a bootloader and whatever it boots to be one program. seems like GRUB (GPLv3) generally is not considered to infect everything it boots / chainloads.

> Where's the line between two separate programs, and one program with two parts? This is a legal question, which ultimately judges will decide. We believe that a proper criterion depends both on the mechanism of communication (exec, pipes, rpc, function calls within a shared address space, etc.) and the semantics of the communication (what kinds of information are interchanged).
