Universal codes are used in compression file formats to store integers efficiently when most values are small, but you still want to support arbitrarily large numbers.

These days, they would usually be combined with an arithmetic or range coder to store each binary digit more efficiently than just writing it directly to the file.
I also read it that way.

One would think that after the issues with whorepresents.com and expertsexchange.com (and dozens of other popular examples) from at least a decade ago, people would be somewhat more careful as to how their domain name could be misread.

I can see why universities want to use a system like this.

A friend of mine is a University lecturer for physics and one of his students gave him an invite to the discord channel where half his students are in there sharing all the answers during the final exam.

He basically told me there is nothing he can do about it.

He talked to the head of department and they basically said if you have proof of specific people cheating then they can escalate it for those people but short of that, nothing can be done.

Not that I’m saying these systems are great either. But I really don’t know how exams in the current form can be conducted remotely without endemic cheating.
We tested a couple eproctoring products last year while we geared up to move every exam online.
We disliked them on ethical grounds, but also as ultimately unpractical.
I had also a bad feeling about the vendors, there was a strong whiff of "bad used car salesmanship" in the whole interaction.
I also felt there was a correlation between the push for these tools and bad or antiquated teaching methods.

Then to our relief the education authorities in our region straight banned the practice so we just drew up a document with various ideas about how to go about online assessment in a humane and reasonable way and we went through thousands of online exams with very few incidents.

But even without the DMCA, having unauthorized copies of copyrighted documents is still illegal, right?

The DMCA creates a liability shield for sites that accept uploads and creates a procedure for takedowns. But without the DMCA, the company's lawyers could still send a nasty letter to the web hosting site, and they'd be even more incentivized to prevent unreviewed uploads from users in the first place because they wouldn't have the liability shield.

Also, the takedown / liability shield parts of the DMCA are also only relevant when the people running the site are not the people who uploaded the content. If you want to host your own website and claim that you're republishing the manuals because of fair use, that part of the DMCA doesn't affect you at all.

(The DMCA does meaningfully interact with right-to-repair in its anti-circumvention provisions, though.)
Lol what. He clearly believes that, you just have to study a bit of his story.
> The first geothermal wells in Germany have exhausted their heat gradient

The first hit on google for this phrase is .. this comment, so could you provide a less circular citation please? :)

I do understand that all heat is local, you cannot extract heat faster than it can flow to the point of extraction, which is dependent on the R value of the rock and whether you've drilled into a liquid area or not.

(I wonder if there are some oil fields that have high enough below-ground temperatures to be worth using for this? The drilling is done, a sunk cost, and the wells produce mostly dirty water)

It's not nearly as popular as you might think it is, IMO. Louis Rossmann probably won't get to do a direct ballot initiative like he wanted, because he'll be underfunded. Politicians don't want to take this fight, because they don't feel like there's enough backing from the public. The issue needs clear cut support from the layperson, not unanimous approval from the tech literate.
No one here is questioning how hot the Earth is, the issue is sustainably accessing it in countries that are less geologically active.

With so few people I see no way except for mass migration, for housing stock to remain expensive. And that's one of the biggest barriers to having kids these days, housing being the main expense during a person's lifetime.

When your main home + a vacation home cost half of what your main home would have costed 3 decades ago, and you can afford them when you're 25, that's a huge relief right there.

The big question mark to that is that the entire economy doesn't collapse and also takes down salaries with it. But South Korea is quite export oriented so they're better positioned than some other countries.

>West of Eden: The End of Innocence at Apple Computer, by By Frank Rose, page 85, Package Goods

>[...] Who knew what any of it meant? Certainly not Sculley; this stuff had about as much to do with the prehistoric electronics he'd dabbled in as a kid as it did with soft drinks and potato chips. But he was running a computer company, so he'd better know. He spent hour after hour with Steve going over the basics. By the end of April his speech was peppered with jargon. Convincing people he knew what he was saying took longer.

>On organizational issues, he was able to look more decisive, in part because Markkula had left him so much to do. He didn't say much -- he wasn't warm or friendly or outgoing -- but he did listen, silently, and when he made a move it was invariably a quick one. His first move was to fire John Vennard -- no great shock, since Steve had been demanding his head since February. Vennard was in Japan, working with Alps to fix a problem on a new disk drive for the Apple III, when Scully summoned him back to get the ax. Then he got rid of Wil Houde, who'd been running the Apple II division until the previous fall, when Markkula had decided to replace him and, unable to decide between the division's marketing director and its engineering director, had put them both in charge. Houde had been named to head a special task force to look into ways of streamlining the company. His task force was already streamlined: He was the only one on it. Everyone knew that heading a task force at Apple was like being named vice-president in charge of looking for a new job. Sculley was merely completing the process.
One of my least favorite bugs came from a loop that iterated from *p to *(p+n) (exclusive). For n=0 and values of p other than null, the loop body never executes. For n=0 and p=null, the loop body is allowed to execute, because null+0 is allowed to be any value.
Bezos is making a subtle point here that I feel people are overlooking.

1. Anecdotes that you notice, by their nature, tend to come from reasonably sized groups of people.

2. "Data" as the term is normally meant in business and government does not. It may originally consist of many individual data points that represent something about large groups of people, but by the time it reaches a decision maker it has been filtered through normally just one or two people who have selected it, normalized it, and analyzed it in various ways.

In other words, "data" is often not being used with its dictionary definition of a raw CSV file but rather it means "analysis". And unfortunately the nature of data analysis is that not only is it easy to make genuine mistakes but it can also be very easily manipulated in all sorts of ways to present whatever the analyst wants to be true.

Academic research is an especially prevalent form of this problem because people don't hesitate to claim they've made a "data" based decision then cite an academic paper that presents a model with some absurd assumptions, or where the model outputs aren't visibly connected to the paper's conclusions at all, or which shows signs of P-hacking, or where the dataset is unusably small and so on and so forth.

Hence why I find myself agreeing with the other posters - if you find yourself strongly disagreeing with Jeff Bezos about something that seems to be within his domain, think twice.

How The Chronicle is trying to malign Sci-Hub
I love how hypocritical these companies are. Environment friendly they say:
- Force people to buy a part separately that could easily be included in the box (wasting less packaging in the process).
- Force people to replace unnecessary parts when repairing their products (my gfs MacBook broke the screen internally, without applying much strenght to it, and Apple repair solution is to replace the entire top end of the laptop for 600€)
- Make stupid expensive for people to repair their products, and almost impossible for third party shops to repair them.

And this isn't just Apple, most brands are going the same route. Meanwhile world its sinking in garbage, but shareholders are happy I guess.

General aviation is essential to the aviation ecosystem, particularly for the training of pilots and technician. People rich enough to buy afford a jet wouldn't be phased by a jet fuel tax, but a tax affecting very small carriers and general aviation will reduce the available talent pool. Either directly by reducing a venue through which people learn to become pilots and technicians, limit their job opportunities in periods of downturn of the rest of the industry, but also indirectly by making the field even less accessible.

The funny thing with "good enough" solutions is that at some point it becomes unmanageable. I've basically spent a good part of my career cleaning up these solutions to make way for scalable, maintainable solutions that don't introduce security holes.

Photography is a good analogy - with everyone having fancy cameras you could think that a photographer is now not necessary. But yes there are still photographers about - they see things that the average person doesn't. The camera doesn't tell them what type of photos to take, what composition the photo should have or what poses a model should have.

They talked about possibly raising rates in 2023. In my opinion, they're bluffing. They can't do what Paul Volcker did in the 80s and raise rates to stave off inflation without crashing the stock and real estate markets deeply. They can't raise rates without triggering a deep, deep recession and taking everyone's retirement fund out with it.

The top people I met during my carrier always find ways to be productive, add value and become key team members. Those people probably make less money because they don't job hop as much, but they are valued a lot more by their bosses and peers. When I hire I try to find such people because I know I can trust them. Your knowledge, reputation, and trust is your biggest asset, it is much more valuable than a 30% salary increase today, in the long run I believe your "brand" is a much bigger driver of wealth than job hopping.
Anti cheat is the excuse used to collect saleable or exploitable private data, and as a mechanism to perpetuate walled gardens. Centralizing accounts and identities to enforce ban lists, associate payment methods, target advertising, enable microtransactions, and so on are the reason for the security theater.

Rent seekers will extract as much cash and time from players as can be gotten away with.

Server level ban lists and competent game referees and volunteers could be a powerful answer to the problem, but there's not a lot of incentive to innovate away from rent seeking, as the big studios and stores crush any threats to their success.
I wonder why they haven’t tested a full model? They say the cost is low and production is easy, so why not do that to prove it works before going to manufacturers?

> Thinking that labor costs do not impact product costs is grossly ignorant.

No one is arguing that labor cost doesn't impact product cost, but the fact is that in general it doesn't impact product price.

Or to put it the other way: can you imagine a business not increasing product price as much as they can, regardless of the product cost, as long as the supply is matched?

If they can increase the price, why would they wait for cost to rise before doing so?

The outcome is that business/landlord already charge as much as they can, and increased cost doesn't change the product price, since they already chareg as much as they can.

For me, the worst thing about airline food is that it's notoriously overcooked. I think a lot of the meals would be quite decent if cooked properly, but the service at 35,000 feet is difficult to manage and many of the meals are just ruined.

Another exception was on Korean Airlines, where the dishes were mostly fresh greens, not cooked at all.

Its a common misconception that CSS is easy, that's its not a programming language. Its however one of the most difficult to understand. You can write CSS a whole career without understanding the basics, and responsive design made it exponential harder.

But if you do learn it - its very powerful, and much better then defining design rules in JS or XML or a graphical design tool.

Just before the pandemic I switched jobs to one where I negotiated a 4 day week. The job turned out crap but the 4 day thing was great.

Now I'm kinda unemployed, kinda working freelance. After a few months of frustration trying to work from home I rented myself a spot in a coworking space where I can work freelance and on my own side projects.

The fact that I'm paying for this spot and that I purposely positioned myself so other people can see my screen are great motivators. Never been more productive. Some days I don't work at all, other days I work 15hrs.
