Any couch potato can shoot even the best martial art master dead with widely available cheap tools and a few weeks worth of training. And this is not even a new phenomenay. All practicioners alive today were born into this. Doesn’t seem to have stopped them from practicing.
I can only speak from myself (Economics, in Portugal).

In employability terms, my master's degree was not a good investment, and these degrees are cheap here compared to the US (I payed 5k for two years).

I do however feel I developed plenty of resillience due to the amount of studying I had to do, a real understanding of what academic life is like by doing my thesis (we are not very exposed to papers in the undergrad), and most importantly, a strong and useful framework and intuition for thinking about the world - but I think that might just be a combination of my degree and innate inclinations.
You should never risk 100% of your personal wealth. Risking 10-20% is often a good idea.

TFA makes an unfounded accusation. Using TFA as proof is circular logic.

As someone who is still waiting on his second shot because I had no option to get it earlier, this _really_ worries me. It's especially hard to still be extremely careful when most people around are basically back to their normal life.
Who wasn't allowed to discuss it and by whom? Again I am not from the US, but afaik it wasn't helpful that the "CHINA-VIRUS"-fraction of your political spectrum (which is quite frankly not known for their truth seeking behavior) were the first one who really wished this to be true.

Serious scientist have to remain open for all possibilities no matter who wants them to be true, but it really doesn't help if there is a irrational coloration to it including people being assaulted in the street because of how they look.

Societies with a calmer political climate can react calmer to things. Which is why the German Fauci equivalent explained when this theory first came up "sure that would be possible — it just doesn't seem plausible by our current information".

And the idea that "you are not allowed to say that" seems just a bit... weird to me given that this was a hot topic many people discussed. Scientists explained on public television why they don't deem it likely, that is pretty much opposite of "not being allowed to discuss it". It just happened that the side which believed it had no real evidence that could have been discussed, so at one point the discussion found its natural end without any new data. I remember the situation back then: People back then wanted this theory to be true really hard without any supporting facts. Sure it being true was an option, but people weren't calm about it, they were nearly desperate, as if the only way they can make sense of the pandemic was to blame it on someone act of mallice by some (evil) actor.

Maybe it is because I live in Germany but I am quite frankly allergic to this kind of behaviour. It has caused Genocides before (and probably will do so in the future). When you want some comforting truth or some story to be true so much, you stop caring whether it is actually true or likely you are lying to yourself. And when you lie to yourself just hard enough everybody is able to become a monster.

Question 81 mentions problems caused by US soldiers.

Crimes by foreigners generally cause a lot of outrage, regardless how common they are. I saw stats a few years ago that had the crime rates of US troops in Japan lower than the native population. While the crime rates of immigrants was higher than natives. But one of these topics is politically correct and the other is not.

Yes, sugar is basically poison, especially the large quantities of processed sugars that we regularly comsume. Cutting out candy, soda, sugar-in-coffee, etc. can bring a lot of very noticeable benefits if you were consuming them every day.

Part of the harm caused by alcohol comes from the way that your body metabolizes it...into sugars. The whole "a glass of red wine with dinner is heart-healthy" thing has also been pretty thoroughly debunked.

The original poster says, "I want to make money". OK, if they were handed $1B what would they do with it? What do they really want? Physical security? Financial security? Political influence? Love? Hedonism? Existential meaning?

The shipwreck analogy is a tool to help you understand that you want money for what you can do with it, not for itself.

Extra points if you make some discoveries about yourself when asking why you want these things.
I've built several 1U servers to colocate. One nice thing when you only have one feed and one static IPv4 address is that you can use IPv6 for management.

For example, here's a server I build several years ago (pre Raspberry Pi 4):

https://www.klos.com/~john/anath.jpg

It has an NVIDIA Jetson TK2 as the main system plus a Raspberry Pi 3 that provides serial console and has a relay connected to a GPIO for remote reset for the TK2. The Pi can be reached directly via a static IPv6, so no additional IPv4 required.

I also have a 1U server with an 8 gig Raspberry Pi 4 and two 8 TB drives set up as a mirror. This system is also significantly below 100 watts, both peak and average:

On the subject of anti-protest tactics, I was a little surprised to see BLM come out so openly in favor of the regime that was repressing protests and criticism of the government via police brutality. I would have thought Cuba would be a slam dunk for them.
I wish that people would listen to responses to common misconceptions on Facebook and Twitter these days.

Social unrest is going to increase in Catalonia for sure. By 2050 maybe there are independent or maybe not.

On one hand, if Catalans are independent they will be isolated (no EU members thanks to Spain's, and maybe France's veto).

On the other hand, if Catalans are not independent, there will be protests about this, criminality, and maybe even terrorism.

If you like Spain, I would vouch for Galicia (if you like cold climate with rain) or Malaga (international city with mild climate all year).
> The second kind is "You can't compete with us while you work here". And that is a much more complex beast. Obviously, if I work as a developer making a stock trading app, I shouldn't be making a competing stock trading app after hours.

Why not? If a single developer can compete with the company that employs them, by only using their spare time, it sounds like that company could really use some competition..
It might be true for anyone measuring success by how much money they make.

But I don't think people get into any form of art, and I count programming as a form of art, expecting huge sums of money. We all do it for the sake of doing it, because it feels good to do it, to learn, to overcome, to achieve.

Just think about the fact we are never indeed satisfied. I, for instance, am much more skilled as a programmer than I was 5 years ago. In a sense I made it, I have a job that pays well and I can do my work without much issue. Programming feels natural. However I am nowhere near being satisfied. I want to learn more, see and try new things. Explore different paradigms, languages and techniques. But not because it could render me a better paycheck, but because it feels amazing to learn and solve new problems.
I got my PhD in a field where you nonchalantly get a masters along the way (because masters degrees have an in-field glass ceiling).

A terminal masters program was started by my program while I was in attendance. If you needed the education, it was billed as a professional degree and I think is put to good use. But if you had an undergraduate degree in the field and were not pursuing a PhD then it was just window dressing.
You can, you can match against the module in the struct of the second parameter, concatenate the two modules, and manually dispatch against the concatenated module. I don't really recommend this (it is not performant and feels like a code smell), but it is possible

It's true. Europeans of that era did not bathe everyday. My stepfather escaped nazi Germany, and moved to the us in the 40s. He grudgingly adapted to daily bathing (my mother's insistence), but remarked how very American that is. He was very 20th century European, for sure.

They too can only dispatch on the type of the first argument, but are more structured (you can add multiple pieces of behavior at a time) and performant than multimethods where that's the behavior you're looking for.

> the greater good is to prevent/punish it.

It's clear that a handful of genocides were caused in large part by hate speech, such as the Rwandan genocide and the Holocaust.

What's not clear to me (although I'm open either way) is whether strict hate speech laws would've reduced the odds of these happening. Do we have reason to think that to be true?

The first order effect is to chill that kind of speech. But is there a second order effect of making these people into martyrs and fostering resentment towards the protected group that does more harm than good?

My understanding is that pre-Nazi Germany had hate speech laws, and it didn't seem to work there?

No, not impossible at all; it will just reject any that would be memory-unsafe due to problems with borrow lengths, potentially undefined variables, and things like that. I never said you could goto absolutely anywhere; plenty of gotos are patently unsafe, and Rust would duly reject them.

Rust currently checks borrows using control-flow graphs (though I believe the plan is for that to change, and the replacement might make life harder for implementing goto, I don’t know). Rust’s mid-level intermediate representation (MIR) actually has goto. In a control-flow graph, goto is just adding new edges, and it’s comparatively simple to make it work.
I guess they are paying $300k for the connections and access to the elites who go to these universities but whats the point of paying if the 'elite university experience' is not only virtual, but anyone can go and get a MS degree online for cheap access? (Obviously for some courses)

Still the pandemic has made it glaringly obvious that depending on the course you study, in this case, history, media, drama and film studies, a Masters Degree in either of those fields is a complete scam if the probabilities in getting a high earning job is that small as I have said before. [0]

As for a PhD in especially in either of those fields. Well... Just don't take my word for it and just look at the responses right here and you can make your own decision to see if it is worth it. [1]

It appears to be somewhat hereditary. My daughter and I have it but my son does not. When I look at color blue and purple, I see a smudge so when there letters such as store names far away, I absolutely can’t read it. It appears like all the letters are smudged. I recently bought a InstaPot cooker which has blue color led lights. The previous mode had red. I can’t read it from far. I have to get close to read the blue led lights.

Shared agreement is not quite enough, that’s why algorithmic stablecoins fail. You can say that’s due to lack of agreement but it all comes down to incentives.

The only reason stablecoins work is because they have a mechanism where you can quickly 1. mint a new coin and sell it for slightly more than $1 for it 2. buy a coin for less than $1 and redeem it for $1 in value

It's one of those "rarely used in practice but insanely frustrating when you write a library or some generalized code".

However, I'd rather Clojure got proper pattern-matching than Elixir multimethods. I find pattern matching a much more powerful, flexible and useful tool.

> Cuba possess exactly 0 anti-shipping threat to the US. There is no feasible scenario where Cuba develops enough, with a population of 11 million, to become a military threat to the US. It could fire off a few missiles before the positions get destroyed, sure, but so could any nation with an SSK.

> The reason for the enmity towards Cuba is nothing else than the Monroe Doctrine, and despite any appeals to "adulthood" which are thinly veiled appeals to paternalism, the Monroe Doctrine is interpreted better through an elementary schoolyard bully lens than through the eyes of the adults in the room - "if you're ij my class you can't be bestest friends with anybody else". It doesn't come with any consideration for anyone beyond the US and its not even about security, it's about dominance.

You're essentially claiming that the US is holding a multigenerational grudge rather than implementing some sort of strategic objective.

Can you help me understand why you believe this? Ideally with citations and without hostile language like "delusional"?
Yep just came across it as well:

> If you were a French soldier, whose land had been invaded, whose wife or sister or mother had been taken into a German concentration camp and raped or killed, you might have found it difficult to control Your emotions.

> Lastly, a good many French women have been in terror of American troops, especially in Paris. Our SIP records testify to a deplorable amount of drunkenness, molesting of women and street fights -- by americans.
> There is nothing stopping a phone call being made to a radio station, or placed on speaker to an audience of multiple people. This is analogous to the use case of posting a link to Twitter or a Facebook group.

This is actually an excellent demonstration of why phone calls are a poor analogy for publicized Drive links: in the scenario that you describe, if the radio station has not gotten the consent of the caller to broadcast the call or the circumstances don't suggest the call will be broadcast (such as if someone calls the station's customer complaints line and that line is patched inappropriately into the broadcast circuits), in most states (and under FEC guidelines) the radio station could be held legally liable for violating the caller's privacy.

No such law exists for a Google drive document link.

Shared documents are their own thing and previous models don't really precisely fit them. There isn't really any precedent to say that Google's position here is wrong; arguments by analogy break down quickly. A Drive document can be used as a private scratch pad, a multi-user scratch space, or as a stored read-only piece of data intended for broad dissemination on a reliable content network; the technology doesn't distinguish the use cases, and Google applies more or less the same policies to all of them.
One of the key issues I see is that we don’t place a high enough value on adult education. A philosophy professor of mine told me the word “andragogy”, which is the theory of adult education. It’s different from “pedagogy” which means the education of children.

I always thought that learning is learning. It never occurred to me that there’s a difference between how and why children learn and that it could be different from adults.

As an adult, who considers myself a life long learner, I see the differences. The education system hasn’t adapted to adult learning. Most masters classes are simply just repackaged versions of undergraduate classes, maybe with a little more depth.

The schedules haven’t changed either. As the article points out almost all the bad practices are online classes. It’s hard for adults to juggle family, kids, and work while being a student. People feel it’s necessary to further their schooling but don’t have many options. They can’t just take off two days of the week to attend a class. Few schools
offer nights and weekend classes. Online becomes the only option.
