You're misunderstanding me. The EU is no more of an empire than all of those nations.

It's just a new regional power and some people hate that. The same kind of people who would've been against pretty much any country back when it was formed.

Just thinking their small city state was enough. Hell, they would've been against city states, against tribes unifying, just against any society beyond their own tribe/family.

Small minded fools who blame everything on someone else. Usually anti-vaccine and anti-science in general, suspicious of any smart person in the world who tries to save and help their worthless stupid lives.

Who does that for no apparent reason, right? Why is Bill Gates spending billions on fighting diseases? Is he insane? No, clearly he has an ulterior motive. Just dumb.

10. A 13 year long war/occupation spread over 2 decades.

If the US had been conducting military operations in post ww2 France for that long the French wouldn’t look kindly on the US either.

The fundamental mistake was believing that occupation could be indefinite, and that there wasn’t an urgently ticking clock until civil unrest.
In case of neurons, specialization is not so much structural as functional, and the function is determined by the location inside the brain; it is, then, not a single cell that is “conscious” but an entire system (plexus) of cells. This is analogous to a single transistor vs. the circuit it is part of.
Intermittent fasting is not the same thing as malnutrition or fasting in excess. Continually not eating for 24-48 hours and/or depriving yourself of necessary calories isn't good for anyone.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see that change at some point. There was no reason to exclude impossible uses in the contracts, but as those uses become possible, people will probably want to have provisions that they share in the fruits of their own labor.

Since a lot of these new uses seem to be ‘fair use,’ it might require changes to IP law.
The salinity of the Salton Sea is very high. All of the fish that were introduced have died except for tilapia and the desert pupfish. They are the only fish that can tolerate the high salt levels.

https://speciesfishing.com/fishing-the-salton-sea/

There are periodic mass die offs. The most common is because of botulism.

Avian botulism, caused by bacteria, usually occurs in the spring time when the winds are very strong and push all of the old, deoxygenated water from the bottom of the Salton Sea to the top, depleting the oxygen available for the fish, causing them to die. As the fish die, the birds eat them, and get sick from contracting the bacteria. The birds then die and get feasted on by maggots which then infect birds feasting on the maggots. This can result in massive bird mortality. The species most affected by avian botulism are waterfowl and shorebirds.

The side issue was probably overlooked since, as a continuation of X-Wing, the players were more interested in the upgraded experience than in which side they were playing.
I'm generally a libertarian but I think current corporate law is insane. This seems like a reasonable starting point, maybe along with a policy requiring giving each employee a stake in the company.
You don't need anything "more than water", but you do need some electrolytes thrown in for correct hearth operation.

Absolutely right.

The phenomena are pretty intricate. E.g. in the initial stages, grinding the mirror is a physical process: you use some very hard material to carve the glass into the desired shape.

But when it gets to polishing (smoothing the surface to optical perfection), it's far more complex. The granules of the agent are microscopic, and the process is in that grey area between physics and chemistry. You end up slicing off only a few layers of molecules at each pass.

It goes on and on like this. It's very addictive if you like Physics. :)

Controlled Thermal Resources anticipates commencement of commercial production at Hell’s Kitchen in 2023. The production of geothermal power at Hell’s Kitchen provides CTR the ability to participate in California’s growing renewable energy market. In January 2020, CTR announced it had entered into a 25 year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Imperial Irrigation District (IID), the largest irrigation district in North America and the sixth-largest electrical utility in California.

With the assistance of its project engineering partner Hatch Ltd., Controlled Thermal Resources completed its Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) Technical Report, and the accompanying Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). CTR has initiated a Prefeasibility Study (PFS) and commenced well pad construction in anticipation of drilling its first two geothermal wells.
I'm confused about the point you're trying to make then. As you say, hiking maps are available for your phone. You can use them if you want. So how exactly is this a failure of technology?

> The UK has defined its standard drink as 10ml of pure ethanol

This is interesting. In the US a standard drink [1] is often considered roughly equivalent to one can of 5% ABV beer, or a 1.5 fl oz shot of 80 proof liquor. That comes out to about ~17.5 ml of alcohol.

I not-infrequently have beers that are 9% ABV. Maybe I should rethink how many servings of alcohol I have a week by international standards...

>I see no contradiction or flaw. What I desire is a world where it is possible for any person to survive working 20 hours a week with a couple months off.

What GP is arguing is that is achieved by fixing the pay distribution, not by limiting hours. If you only limit hours but don't fix the pay problem you create perverse incentives where people have to work undocumented "overtime" or face the threat that they will be replaced by someone who will or where people who want to work overtime face punitive punishments if they do so.
That's what I mean.
What explains the Canadian cases? Is the US testing some weapon on them also?

My hunch is this is more likely something the Russians are carrying out since both locations (Cuba/Vienna) are readily accessible to their agents.
It’s 20,000 tons in stage 1 which is still huge.

https://investingnews.com/company-profiles/controlled-therma...

Hell’s Kitchen is expected to have a minimum 30 year life. Stage 1 of production is slated to begin in 2023, with a 20,000 tonnes per annum lithium hydroxide facility along with the generation of 49.9 megawatts of renewable energy from the integrated geothermal power plant.
yah, that's why ultimately the better focus is on a more equitable (but not equal) distribution of pay and wealth. worrying about the number of hours in a work week (or even minimum wage, in the long run) is a distraction in this regard (popular distractions on hn and elsewhere, by how well received such misguided ideas seem to be). we should be making labor markets radically transparent for workers, and legislatively shifting power to humans over amoral corporate entities. companies should be working for the people at large, not the other way around. once you accumulate about $2-10MM in assets, you've won the economy and we should make it steeply, progressively harder (but not impossible) to accumulate more. this also has the nice side effect of making the economy more dynamic and resilient, while also fostering more innovation all around.

This is awesome but this is a rather strategic move. Hopefully RISC-V boards will emerge and this will become practical. Today, however, a RaspberryPI port could make more sense.

For starters, India now has a representative democracy? Empire usually means a monarchy.

Also, for Indians, organizing into such a distributed state->central structure was the only way to survive after the British (an actual empire) had finished their colonial destruction. The Mughals violently acquired multiple regional monarchies, to be ruled by their monarchy.

I don’t think there’s really a difference between “Iraq” and “Iran” for most Americans (other than, obviously, in the final consonant). Both pronunciations exist for both words, with the one that’s closer to the native pronunciation being more prestigious and the other one being often perceived as backwards or uneducated. (Nowadays, that is. I have no idea what the situation was in the 1940s).

It’s indeed surprising that the two are used inconsistently within the same book, but I suspect that’s just due to some uninteresting artifact of random chance. Perhaps the two sections were written by two different authors, or perhaps there was one author who happened to have an Iranian friend who exposed him or her to the native pronunciation. Who knows.

Delightful. Plus ça change:

> 49 "Why do they knock of work for two to three hours every day?"

> They keep their stores open two to three hours later than we do. (They did when there were things to sell; there's no point in keeping a store open if the shelves are bare.)

> The long lunch hour is a custom which is not confined to France. It is found in Italy, Spain, the Balkans and many parts of Germany. It is a custom we find annoying because it interferes with our comfort (as tourists) and because it differs from our way of doing things.

> The average Frenchman maintains that a lunch eaten at leisure is a lot better than a chicken-salad-on-toast gobbled down at a drugstore counter. "We take time to
live as well as work," one Frenchman said.

ETA: It does take a more sombre turn in the chapters about France vs. Germany (Questions 69 etc.), which appears to indicate that many soldiers felt that they should have sided with the Germans rather than the French.

I can cherry pick places in a set that do not conform to the rule too...

The Arab world is about 423 million people[0]. The places you've referenced are ~41 million people[2][3][4]. 10% that do not conform to the rule is still not the rule.

This does not include other Islamic countries but for the sake of berevity we'll just fact in the whole Islamic world (including Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh, etc) of 1.8 billion people[1]. Now your subset just went from 10% to ~ < 1.25%. You're argument is absurdly invalidated statistically right there.

Hence, we've just mapped all rationals (with duplicates) to a single linear list. Since any linear list can always be mapped to the naturals (1, 2, 3, ...), they have the same cardinality.

this sound like the most honest and positive advice that any army or government institution could give to your team working abroad.
If remote work really takes off, it won't be long until most employers adjust salaries down to each employee's local cost of labor. Why pay someone a Bay Area or NYC salary when they work in rural Montana, when they could pay a rural Montana salary to get someone who works in rural Montana?
This looks to me like an entirely valid hiking route that says to use actual marked foot trails on the ridge.

If you have configured it for walking it definitely uses real trails from topographical maps. It wouldn't be outrageous to assume that Google will automatically switch from driving to walking mode at the best location to exit your vehicle.

I would personally be double checking if I was confused but Google does do both things so it's easy to imagine Google being smart enough to combine the two now that it obscures so much of the interface.

Maybe my enjoyment with Nim is partly due to the (awesome!) boringness of Elixir at times. I write Elixir code. It mostly just works with a few simple abstractions. Nim's more fun for MCU's and fast code where allocations count and I don't care about scalability of the application as much. I rather enjoy both.

First off, amazing farm-bot project! I am looking forward to reading the details on your site.

Thx for the pointers on Tesla. Had not seen the Hydranet stuff. There was a Karpathy talk about 2 weeks back at a CVPR workshop .. he revealed the scale of Tesla's current generation deep learning cluster [1]. It is insane! Despite being in industrial research, I don't foresee ever being able to touch a cluster like that.

A lot of our current research involves end-to-end training (some complex stuff with transformers and other networks stitched together). There was a CVPR tutorial on autonomous driving [2], where they pretty much said autonomy 2.0 is all about end-to-end. I've spoken to a few people who actually do commercial autonomy, and they seemed more skeptical on whether end2end is the answer in the near-term.

One idea we toy with is to use existing frozen architectures (OpenAI releases some and so do other big players) and do a small bit of fine-tuning.

Title seems to be a parody of 'The Art of the Meta Object Protocol', which is a great classic book on open language design and the Common Lisp Object System. :)

From the Abstract, this paper seems to apply similar reflection techniques to engineer a Stream-centric, as opposed to object centric, System.

I'm short on time not, but it's piqued my interest and will probably give the paper a more thorough read later.
It really seems to me that you’re arguing in bad faith, by making facetious statements with very little substance. I suggest you read up a bit more about these countries and their systems before we continue further, I don’t see much to be gained from this thread. Cheers!
It depends on your internal (fat) reserves. I'm 58kg 1m83 (BMI 17.32), so I wouldn't really try such a long period. But there are days I eat a lot, I build some glycogen reserves (easily available fat, made from glucose) due to my diet with much fruits, or other stuff like rice, honey, then the next days I can fast intermittently and use that glycogen. As a result I can't really gain weight, it always balance itself to that weight.

I think people with more weight, have deeper fat, and it'll take longer to use it. I remember seeing an article that our ancestors possibly were hibernating. The more fat, the more time you can spend fasting, even on a dry fasting (fat holds water), but in that case it's important to limit physical exercise

"In its latest contract offer, Frito-Lay has said it would raise wages by four percent over the next two years"

Consumer price index has risen 4.5% since June of last year. With Biden planning similar amounts of printing, it's likely this trend will continue. What Frito-Lay is actually saying here is that they will cut employee's purchasing power by 5.2% over the next two years if that amount of inflation holds.
> The last naval fleet engagement was the battle of Leyte Gulf in WWII.

AFAIK, the naval portion of the later Battle of Okinawa is a better candidate for the last fleet engagement of WWII.

You can (by, say, requiring a certain minimum number of ships of certain classes for a “fleet engagement”) probably make that also the last fleet engagement, but in doing so you will likely be using a more restrictive definition of “fleet” than intended by “Finding and sinking enemy fleets should be the principal purpose of a Navy”.
Remote salaries might end up being somewhere between rural Montana and Bay Area. There's no reason to assume there's a huge supply of software engineers in the US which would make all remote salaries to be in the low-end.

Are you arguing against me, the essay, or the excerpt? I don't think your rebuttal really hits at the main body of the essay, which is about how competitive pressure can trap groups into miserable situations that no individual wants, but which are stable enough to be hard to break out of. It's not that you can really predict the form of societal institutions, but just that they perhaps aren't shaped by free choice as much as they seem, because of how much the incentive landscape restricts our choices.

I don't think the point is that the exact detailed form of Las Vegas was inevitable, but rather that it exemplifies the collective madness that these forces can produce.

Although perhaps more relevant to this thread would be how a society might, under pressure, lose its traditional siesta and never get it back. He mentions examples like this too.
There are always edge-cases. Though in this case, one that could send you over the edge. Really does sum up edge-cases in a whole new way of thinking.
Right, that is the confusion that I was trying to highlight (although the general point about greater efficiency is quite correct).

With a product like Netflix, is that the result of greater productivity? Did Netflix invent some kind of new food that meant humans who made the films or created the website could work twenty hour days for the same wage? The innovation was cutting out other parts of the distribution chain, not more efficient energy usage.

It isn't about more stuff either but more inputs. And there has been a significant increase in energy capture (I was talking about a far larger timescale, but this is over the 20th century) but there has been a larger increase in inputs (and a small increase in efficiency, although one that continues to compound), that is why climate change is occurring. Intangibles are neither here nor there because humans still expend calories (real solar energy) to produce those intangibles.

To say this another way, the value of an intangible product is (usually) closely related to the productivity of other parts of the economy. A film in Mauritanian street market is not worth as much a film on the Apple Store in the US. That elides the point that growth either comes from growth in inputs, or growth in efficiency of input usage (the increase in energy capture is, I think, efficiency...but it is usually not what people are thinking of when they think about efficiency).

115 soviet rubles weren't equivalent to 2021 $5, that's a gross miscalculation. it's more like $450. some sources claim that soviet ruble is equivalent to around 220-240 2018 Russian rubles, and in 2021 rubles it's even more.
I'm intrigued by the choice to conclude with this:

How does one measure decadence? The Germans said, "Democracies are decadent".
