You're required to take it? And you get to expense it I assume? Blessed. I have to fight for it where I work.

We had one contract with frequent overseas travel where the prime contractor guys all got to expense business class -- they didn't tell us of course so for a couple years we were stuck in coach. But I found out somehow, and pretty quick our guys were flying business too. Living the dream.
Being a professor at a research institution is not too far from what you describe. You need to persuade the rich man that you are worth funding (i.e. grants) but with that you can hire the smartest people you can find to take on something challenging, get paid a modest but decent salary, and have a small equity share in whatever you create.
That article seems to oddly assume that in the Newtonian explanation, deflection of air is implied to only happen below the airfoil rather than above. At least when I explain lift that way, I gesture air being sent downwards both along the top and bottom of the airfoil.

As to explaining why air above the airfoil has to go downwards it seems pretty obvious that the air gets sucked into the gap left by the airfoil, but more importantly the article left out the Kutta condition that air doesn't wrap around a sharp trailing edge. This is both an intuitive phenomenon and crucial to the estimation of lift.
Yes.

But there is a limit.

Current growth rates need an exponential increase in resources.

Even if we -after some technological singularity- could expand a sphere of influence that brings everything in the expanding bubble to complete subatomic level of control, this would mean at most sustainable cubic growth (available resources are growing cubically).

Not exponential growth.
1: I'm not sure how much larger class sizes will be, since law schools are somewhat constrained in the short term because of room sizes (especially during COVID) and faculty availability. Schools are undoubtedly hurting for revenues due to losses last year, but I think on average there will be less than 10% more students admitted at selective schools. Lower-tier schools may bring on adjuncts to teach more courses, but I wouldn't recommend going to those schools (especially if they're having core courses taught by non-faculty).

2/3: Yes, many regret going to law school. It is 50% more expensive than an MBA since it's an extra year (though summer internships pay very good money, which defrays this somewhat). My recommendation to law school prospects is to only go if:

(1) you get into a top-3 school

(2) you get a half-ride at a top 20 school, or

(3) you are absolutely dead set on being a lawyer and get into a top-30 school

disclosure: I went to a T14 school on a scholarship, worked in biglaw for 7 years, and now run a startup. I don't regret going to law school. (T14 is the designation for the top 14 law schools, which are relatively fixed in the USNews rankings.)

Also it is psychotic to vaccinate kids right now. We don’t have a good sense of the long term side effects of the vaccine. We usually figure that out with long term trials lasting years.
Indeed, all we can do is conjecture, there's not much evidence to go by. And given a practical question like "should we try to make first contact with unknown aliens?", best to not take the risk. But while we are just conjecturing, it seems intuitive that society and intelligence could in general lean toward peace and kindness. With intelligence comes empathy, and increased understanding - although it's born out of a ruthless and cutthroat evolutionary process, it seems to have its own goals that you can't easily equate to that of other species in the animal kingdom (mammals might show kindness, and empathy even to creatures outside of their species but it's a little easier to see the evolutionary benefits than some very unevolutionary human behaviors).

Turning the lights off in a big city will revert us back to our base/evolutionary goals - so perhaps we better hope these aliens aren't too desperate!

Why not build the CNC router? It's a surprisingly simple machine, you could build one of any size yourself. There's even open source firmware and designs around. Bonus points for making it double as a laser etcher/cutter :D
I agree if your denominator is infected to death rate. If you’re talking relative to state population, then 5k extra deaths moves the needle.

But, whatever. 5000 people dead - it’s just a number, right? Thank goodness we are all coping with the pandemic with statistics.
Historically, most people were farmers. That got automated, and yea, I guess the non-ruling classes were eradicated in the sense that we stopped having serfs and slaves and everyone became more powerful, could own land, etc. It was good news, not bad.

Also even if Broken Windows Theory is wrong, that doesn't mean give up on a region. It means fix underlying issues.

>Marxist-Leninists and tankies would at this point say something like "the PRC needs to industrialize before it can achieve Communism" or that they're on the path to communism for some other reason

I am very much not an expert on this, but would they really? Wouldn't they be on the side that Khrushchev betrayed all that was right and good and so did Deng Xiaoping, so the bad guys won?

I ran across a reddit group once that appeared to consist of unironic, and self-identified "tankies" and I don't recall them discussing China much. They mostly defended Stalin and North Korea.

My impression is that Marx himself did envision communism developing out of industrial capitalism, it seems vaguely plausible to me that someone would consider the US and Europe, and say, clearly, communism must lie on the other side of that sort of capitalism, and we must develop to that point first. But these presumably would not be the "tankies".

>it's not like they have other things to do while in prison.

And I'd like to point out that in prison, generally you're expected to work, and if you don't work, you are placed in a box that's both cold and too small to lay down comfortably in.

It's the only legal form of slavery that's allowed under the constitution of the united states, and it's being used. The California wild fires are being fought with prison labor.

So, the people in prison do have things to do, or they get the box.

The number of atoms on earth has remained the same, more or less, over the last 5000 years. The size of the economy, as the author charts, has increased many fold.

So why does he then expect the number of atoms on earth and outside to be pertinent to the size of the economy into the future?

I think the article contradicts itself.

once I got terrible service at an airport Starbucks. I used the URL on the receipt to report my negative experience to HMS, AND ALSO reported it on the Starbucks website. I received a $10 Starbucks gift card from HMS (more than amount of my purchase) and a $20 gift card from Starbucks.

Awful service but at least I feel like I got my money’s worth. Interesting that Starbucks corporate was more generous than HMS. They were both very responsive, fwiw
I gotcha, thanks for clarifying. I think most people don’t want to think about it, but the ability to bring your own router is a great feature.
It seems you didn’t study CS. If you did, then we studied different courses :P

- Compilers

- Game Engines

- Gnarly multithreaded problems

- Using IDA Pro to analyze X86-64 binaries

- Computer systems and networks (e.g. NAND2Tetris)

- Creating your own kernel

- Creating your own database

- Replicating meltdown and spectre. Repkicaring rowhammer attacks

- Web attacks (check out hackthebox.eu)

I did almost all of these during my CS bachelor and master. Other than that, a friend of mine learned a ton at an internship working on LLVM (a few years ago). He now works on low level stuff in the HFT space. So you might want to look there (the game dev space has overlapping problems with the HFT space but for a much lower salary).

Currently I am doing leetcode because I’d love to earn a FAANG salary (HFT is not for me). Leetcode feels most reminiscent to graph theory.

Don't the also operate franchises like those, too? It's been a long time since I've flown, but I think my local airport has well-known franchises, "local" restaurants, and probably some generic ones, all operated by the same company (which is clear from the receipts).
Maybe. Or maybe they have a monopoly, so they're doing what monopolistic providers throughout history have always done: Increase prices as much as the market will bear and profit.

Healthy competition is necessary for unregulated capitalism to function effectively. When that fails, we shouldn't be surprised to see $400 insulin. Or, in this case, $28.50 beers.
Yes, one of the things PDX does so well! At other airports I pretty much only go to McDonald's because its prices are typically the only ones that aren't crazy. At PDX though you can get fine, local food for a fair price
TLS terminating is fine for most use cases (basic web services), but if you are protecting PII information you need to/should protect from external and internal threats.

Maybe a disgruntled sys admin decides to capture data coming in from the load balancer between the service(s) and sell it to the highest bidder. If traffic is encrypted between the load balancer and underlying service, it makes it much harder to do.
First of all, great write up and interesting solution, thank you for that!

I think GPS question was rather whether the page loads the start autocomplete script on focus, and the script triggers download of the json data, as in the pseudo code, or whether the real code triggers downloading of both in parallel (the script and the json data)?

Welcome to earth. You, a human being, are a vector for numerous pathogens at any given time. In fact, you are made up of viruses to a not insignificant extent!

Criminalizing being a vector for disease amounts to criminalizing humanity as such. What freedom of assembly is possible if everyone is already guilty of carrying viruses?
Don't worry. If you don't kill your favorite local business, some startup will eventually do it for you.
If you can get into a top school (all of the top-3 for sure, and probably some other top-10 as well), they have loan forgiveness programs for graduates who work in public interest law. Caveat: if you're married to a spouse who earns decent money, you might find yourself disqualified on the basis of his/her income.

This doesn't solve the problem about being overworked, but at least it makes being a PD more financially viable.
Possibly some under 20 use Podcasts? That's usually based on RSS.

I think OP was talking not about code quality but code value. A lot of legacy systems are maintained simply because we don't know for sure that there's not something that relies on them, or that they won't be needed later. The expert wants to discard them, but everyone else insists on keeping them around just in case. That adds burden on the expert.

> There are likely fewer than 10^70 atoms in our galaxy, which we would not be able to travel beyond within the 8200-year time frame.

This offers an interesting upper bound on growth, being that our energy consumption couldn’t possibly outpace our ability to travel (at the speed of light) to obtain new sources of energy. (Of course assuming no FTL tech or and no way of generating energy without interacting with matter).

For example, consider we’ve learned to harness 100% of the sun’s output, and we’re looking to double what we can harness. The next nearest star is at least 4ly away, so the doubling time is at least 4 years. To double again, we now need to find two additional stars, each with their own travel limitations. This doesn’t include overhead, like the time it takes to build a dyson sphere or collect the raw materials to do so.
Just before COVID hit, there was an interesting thing going on in BLR Airport. You could order a meal (on Swiggy) from a restaurant near the airport and get it delivered to a gate number. No beverages, due to the security gates it had to pass through, but you had a refreshingly wide variety of options at reasonable prices.
With the dark pattern they have there, doesn’t seem like “consent” at all anymore.
Internet Upstarts (1996)
I've seen it before, and I've a basic understanding of GANs, I just don't see it being overly useful. This technique can make a really blurry simulacrum of an actual game, and that's really cool, but I'm not sure how it could be used to make a something both truly novel and coherent. There's plenty of low hanging fruit for AI within an engine, whereas using AI to be the entire engine is somewhat infeasible
Wouldn't the most parsimonious explanation be that the NSA got spooked by "unknown unknowns"? You've got a lot of researchers working in private on cloak-and-dagger projects, no doubt some of them get paranoid in the same way the public cryptography community blew a seemingly innocuous statement out of proportion.

The article supports this notion, noting many times that the Snowden leaks, despite being extremely damaging and thus unlikely to be intentional, did not reveal a back door into ECC.
You can take that a step further: it’s actually 22 miles an hour, 24 hours a day. Which when you put it like that feels quite leisurely. You could do that on a boat.

On the other hand when you think of it as spending so much of your life flying that your average speed over a whole year is 22 miles an hour…
As I get older, I’m increasingly skeptical of the idea that many markets are competitive. There’s so much overhead to so many businesses, plus heavy use of price discrimination — it doesn’t feel like a lot of the stuff I buy comes from a competitive market. (I’m sure less likely to notice the stuff that is.)
Monero’s ‘fluffypony’ deserves bail for agreeing to help Interpol, say lawyers
For a long time, my plan was to "get rich" and then use my money to work full time on specific interesting tech ideas of mine. The tradeoff of time spent "getting rich", even if it took a decade, was worth it because of the free time I would have afterwards. With this in mind, I tried building various startup ideas and joining startups that could blow up big. Nothing really worked out, and I realized just how difficult it is to get rich in that way. In the mean time, I was trading what I really wanted to be doing for these failed attempts at things I didn't want to do, and meanwhile the years were ticking away.

It took me a long time to realize that the gamble isn't worth it to me. If my end goal is to be working on the interesting tech ideas full time, I need to make it happen regardless of my financial situation. So that's where I'm at now: consistently taking 1 step every night and weekend. It's much slower than my ideal hypothetical world of riches, but it is more fulfilling because it is real. I'm making actual progress now, as opposed to maybe-future progress.

Simplifying a complex problem to look like an easily solvable problem is something that businesses and engineers are really, really good at. It's one of the reasons we leave people behind at the margins all the time, and it's one of the reasons that a thousand failed brick laying robots will be built.

"Directly behind them, not 10 feet away, their 9-year-old daughter was drowning…

How did this captain know—from 50 feet away—what the father couldn’t recognize from just 10? Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect. The captain was trained to recognize drowning by experts and years of experience. The father, on the other hand, had learned what drowning looks like by watching television."

>>Law professors and lawyers instinctively shy away from considering the problem of law’s violence. Every law is violent. We try not to think about this, but we should. On the first day of law school, I tell my Contracts students never to argue for invoking the power of law except in a cause for which they are willing to kill. They are suitably astonished, and often annoyed. But I point out that even a breach of contract requires a judicial remedy; and if the breacher will not pay damages, the sheriff will sequester his house and goods; and if he resists the forced sale of his property, the sheriff might have to shoot him.

Yay (so were we!)!

re: #1 - We are not currently an RIA... this is current a SAAS atop of your existing broker. As such, we make it easy for you to construct the portfolio and single-click easy to execute the portfolio... you are still executing though. We needed to see if there was interest in this concept before registering. The SEC has a newish "RIA registration for fintech apps" category which we are going to pursue.

re: #2 - Robinhood yes... actually... we have that but turned it off because the API from RH is technically unofficial (and changes!). TD, IBRK and Alpaca have offically supported external APIs. Only Alpaca supports fractional trades in addition to that... so we started with them since this enabled us to run this on smaller account sizes! Schwab/Fidelity/Vanguard and the major brokers don't have offical APIs yet. Big emphasis on "yet".

re: #3 - automatic rebalance. Because we are not an RIA, we need you to execute the rebalance. So, until we are... we'll tell you when it's time and make it single-click easy. After becoming an RIA... yep, can make that happen.

re: #4 - TLH... yeah, we can... but its not the magic bullet that the marketing pitches make you think it is. Long convo there :) But implementation wise, yes we could add a TLH option.

I also used dvorak and rearranged my keyboards whenever I can, but some keyboards simply has several keys that can't be rearranged (e.g. the keys near the pointing stick on a thinkpad). In that case, I would rearrange whatever keys I can, and for those keys that can't be arranged I'll just slap some keyboard sticker (ideally one that matches the keyboard model so it's not noticeable).

I'm sure companies like OTG are responsible for a large part of that $28. But, I would like to see what the airport charges them for rent. And if that was adjusted at all during the travel lull of COVID. I suspect a fair amount of the problem is the airports charging outrageous rents (and/or other fees).
