Completely anecdotal data, but in my experience in Argentina people just study what they want just because, in general there isn't an economic reason.

Argentina's public universities are tuition free, backed by the state, so you don't have to spend any money to study anything you may want, which leads to people choosing non economically viable careers (PHD in social sciences and other stuff), I think in part because they don't have any cost to recover from, as well as people not liking math.

The number of people going into STEM is super low, despite paying much better than other careers, and also allowing you to go to other countries to work. As an example, the School of Psychology in the University of Buenos Aires has around 16k students distributed across 4 degrees (Psychology, musical therapy, and 2 more), whereas the School of Exact and natural sciences had around 7k across ~10 degrees (comp sci, math, physics, geology, biology, chemistry, paleontology and some other I'm forgetting).

Comp sci alone probably has 1000 active students.
The school of engineering has around 8.5k across several engineering degrees.

> If you fly over private property, this is trespassing, and you can receive a punishment of up to $2,500 in fines. If it’s a second-time offense or more, you can actually face jail time in addition to large fines. If you use your drone to harass someone, the victim can file a restraining order against you. Again, drone laws by state can be quite different, this is strictly California’s regulations.

No. I checked and the law is that they must be within line-of-sight. These two drone were both flying all over a residential neighborhood and the operators aren't in line-of-sight.

That makes no sense. Of course I have a right to talk to anyone.

Why not? You never argued this before.

> "Men are more likely rapists than women are" is simply a statistical fact that you are going have to come to terms with.

If you can't be bothered to explain the above, maybe you want to tell me instead: did you oppose the firing of James Damore due to his memo in which he argued "statistical facts that people are going have to come to terms with"?
I don't actually disagree that it's likely that child welfare actions are more likely to be justifiably taken against indigenous households but the sixties scoop was pretty clearly not based on household stability alone. But, at the heart of the matter, if this minority is much more likely to live in poverty[1] then that itself is a problem we need to solve. But, the sixties scoop wasn't so long ago and, honestly, I think an in depth investigation of child services today would reveal that biases are still quite present.

That's not how tax law works. When you found a company you buy founder's stock, with an initial valuation filed with the IRS and this is the value until the next qualified valuation event, where it may change. Share prices of $0.01 to $0.00001 are common. I guarantee that $0.001 was the founders share price filed with the IRS at company formation.

Also somewhat related. The courts in Canada ruled the native population had a right to "subsistence"(or some other key word)fishing b/c of treaties. This meant the natives could crab or maybe it was lobster out of season. The white local fishing fleets have been very violent with the police just standing around and letting it happen. Plenty of video multiple confrontations and illegal acts of white on native crime and violence.
Congratulations to Microsoft, this new management is killer. I wonder who will be first to reach $3T.
On a somewhat related aside, the book Land of Lisp [1] is an interesting introduction to both Common Lisp and game programming. If anyone, like me, was interested in learning Common Lisp through a casual and fun mode, I highly recommend the book.

Likewise, I have the US version OnePlus 7 Pro and I have never seen these issues. I've been using this phone for 2+ years and like you mentioned, the battery could use a refresh, but it still lasts long enough to not be too annoying.

I tried switching to a Pixel 4a 5G but I was not impressed and switched back to the OnePlus.

That being said, I'm not sure if I'd pay the premium prices of their new flagship models at this point.

Advertising is zero sum in some idealized economists’ fantasy world where everyone knows everything about every product.

A couple of years ago, I read about Amazon having some astounding deals on high-end camera equipment, along the lines of a $10,000 lens on sale for a few hundred dollars. My understanding is that several people snagged that deal (and actually received the product for that price) before Amazon revised the pricing, claiming that it was a mistake.

I wonder if perhaps it was not a mistake, but a tactic to get more people to carefully search through Prime deals...

In any case, this year I didn't spend much time with it. I bought a $18 cable organizer that was on sale for $14, and that I was planning on buying anyway, even at full price.
Based on the documentary on Netflix and his hyper-competitiveness, I think he would care a lot.
Make a really good bet on a stock in your Roth that pops something like >10,000x.

In his case it was Paypal shares.

Then you have a massive tax-free investment shelter and you can be an angel investor for startups through it and seek out another >100x investment with it.

It helps a lot to have better information and be more plugged into the investment culture than your average person on the street reading the NYT and trying to sort out where to invest their 401k. It also helps to be a sociopath so that all you care about is returns.

There's a bit of an oversight here where the tax-free returns in a Roth shelter are completely unlimited, they probably should have been capped where massive windfalls became taxed some way, but rich people and those who carry water for them, would have flipped out.

I disagree.

JS optimizations are implementation defined. They are also largely undocumented. You will have to read source code if you want to know the truth, or write microbenchmarks to probe the VM behavior.

Your optimization from today can be deoptimized tomorrow. There are no documented guarantes that certain code will remain fast.

Knowing about inline caching, shapes, smis, deoptimizations and trampolines... does helps. But the internals are unintuitive.

Instead, I can save myself that time and use WASM instead.

There are so many things that can trigger a deoptimization that I would rather ignore them all and do it in WASM instead.
I have a longstanding project where I rank graduate creative writing programs by their alumni's appearances in a selection of prize anthologies. This means I spend a lot of time googling authors. There are a number of authors whose internet presence is shadowed by criminals with the same name. Then there are those who are shadowed by more famous people of the same name such as the Australian poet Kate Middleton or the New England essayist Ravi Shankar. Then there are the authors whose names are the same as other writers. So far I haven't had to do an IMDB-style (II) after someone's name although it's come close with some authors differing only by the presence or absence of a middle initial. And one instance I had to try three times to find the correct author of one particular name because there were two others (not anthologized) who published under identical names. I have a short story that turns on the whole name confusion thing that was published last year. https://sandyriverreview.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/2020...

To be honest I have no idea why someone would use Android apps on Windows?

Popular apps can be used via the web-browser or even have a separat desktop app (e.g., whatsapp, facebook, youtube, ...). That is similar with games.

Google is not a typical large corp though. They will spend millions on top lawyers for even small cases even if settling costs far less, just to make a point that they do not lose. If a company shows a willingness to settle or they they lose easily, then that makes them vulnerable to future litigation. Contingency lawyers will not take on companies that do not lose or settle.

Why though?

There are many great algorithms that outperform LSH on ANN vector search, but vectorization in itself a high-compute task, which ads latency and require GPUs, but this is not reported in benchmarks.
For text LSH hash can be efficiently created directly from tokens. Of course, this does not work for semantic similarity, but can be used for lexical similarity search.

The info boxes sometimes contain surprising errors. I recently searched for Picasa and was informed that it was invented by Pablo Picasso in 2002! Google 'knows' Picasso died in the 1970s and it 'knows' he released a popular software program in 2002. That's an obvious contradiction requiring the simplest of rules to detect, but the system is just a dumb text extractor. (Interestingly, Google assistant gave the correct answer for 'who created Picasa?' so that system must use a different knowledge-base.)

I, being compulsively helpful, reported the error and it was quickly fixed. Maybe I'm part of the problem.

The great thing is that the desktop space is considered small-peanuts now. It's no longer hip or cool.

Yes, terminals usually echo back the characters. In our case this would be buffered and we could request the buffer. But that would still take some operations. Best way, usually, is to send a bunch of commands in a way you ensure proper order of execution (eg write a file, check checksum of file, execute file), and make sure you can pull the logs afterwards.

Nowadays, links and systems get easier to work with, and you can sometimes have a literal TTY open to the system, like Reactor Hello World has ( https://reaktorspace.com/reaktor-hello-world/ ). However, this is over S-band, which is a 2Mbit/s link, so overhead for a stable TTY (or ethernet connection) is a lot less than using UHF/VHF.

>The IRS would have come down on him with a hammer already

Part of my work is in financial investigations. The finances of large, multi-entity organizations are expensive to create, difficult to parse, and require extensive periods of time of trained, expensive staff to understand.

Assuming that 'things would have been caught' flies in the face of the fact that they almost never are. Accounting rules change frequently, software systems for logging information is changed, and records are lost. Emails have to be read in tandem with entries to understand the intentions.

Even in cases where we have confessions that someone has embezzled money, we often need to spend multiple weeks tracking down records to isolate when/where/how it occurred.

Even during audits, requests for records can be baked. 'Random' samples of given entries can just exclude the questionable ones.

I've appeared in front of federal tax courts in my practice, the game isn't fair - don't base your reasoning on the idea that it must be.

yeah what's interesting is, a speculated upper midange Mediatek A78-based chip on TSMC 4NM will perform much more efficiently than Samsung 5NM X1 designs, the former of which (Sammy 5NM) which is still being used for the next Qualcomm chip - they rebranded 5NM as the 4NM cited to be used. So if Samsung 5 is right on par with TSMC 7... QC's flagship chip will be effectively two process nodes behind Apple and Mediatek come early 2022.

I expect TSMC 4NM chips with A78/A710 based designs - as is rumored with Mediatek this year - to be fantastic long-term values on the performance per watt + outright usability metrics.

Yup. I gave up arguing with the posters and even founder of TechDirt about it. They call it 'content moderation' when they agree with it and censorship when they don't, based on whether it's left leaning (Good™) or right leaning (Bad™).

It's so bizarre how the left controls the house, the presidency, academia, the mainstream media for the most part, all of the big tech companies, but complain that the Republicans are the fascists.

We either have free speech, or we have fascism. And it's not the right trying to censor and cancel people, it's the authoritarian left who feel like they know better than everyone else. Very irritating as a libleft, because they read my disagreement as being right leaning rather than freedom loving.
