Well, this example is quite curious. Catalan is understood and used by most of the people who live in Catalan speaking regions, but it isn't the first language of most of the people who live there. Pretty much the 95% are bilingual (Catalan and Spanish).
In fact, more people speak Spanish as their mother tongue than Catalan but they switch between them when required.

Maybe the Scots situation is similar, people learn and use both languages and change to the one they feel most comfortable with.

They're made with ingredients that are processed. The flour that goes into the bread and pasta has been stripped of all fibre and micro nutrients, then some vitamins might be added back if you're lucky.

The bread is full of refined sugar.

You need to look at the ingredients recursively. If you eat wholegrain everything you're half way there.

Same applies to rice etc.

The reason they remove the good stuff is so it doesn't spoil, if you remove the nutrients it's less appetising to microbes and pests.
Yep, it’s like teaching someone how to cook by quizzing them on recipes. I didn’t understand the purpose of calculus until grad school despite having “learned” it several times by that point.

Will such commitment substantially change anything?

First line of their privacy policy is: “Apple is committed to your privacy.”

How about this: Either the government lets you evict them, or the government pays their rent. But if the government prohibits evictions of non-paying tenants, and doesn't itself pay, how is that not "private property be[ing] taken for public use, without just compensation", and therefore a violation of the Fifth Amendment?
> Honestly, a better example of that would be eminent domain, which existed long before COVID

Eminent domain has a pretty rigorous, well-defined process (or at least I hope it does). Saying "OMG COVID, NOBODY GETS TO EVICT" over the course of 1 week with absolutely fuck-all thought given to how to unwind such a policy.... totally different beast. Especially given it was only supposed to be "two weeks to flatten the curve to protect healthcare".

And yeah, without eminent domain absolutely no large public works project would ever get built. There will always be somebody, somewhere who will block a large project no matter how many concessions to make for them. Society needs ways to route around that kind of stubbornness.
There is no mitigation technique for being swallowed by the sun.

It's a thought exercise, not a proposal, you need not be worried about a catastrophic collision.

Bravo to the scientist for doing the calculations.
So according to this, Uber is ripping off the drivers, riders and investors - with no path to profitability. So where is the money going? Is the claim that it's just so poorly managed that it's all being blown on overpriced tech salaries?

Incidentally, how is it that hyperscale tech companies such as Uber and Deliveroo are struggling to turn a profit on proven business models, while charging more to both the customer and provider? Isn't tech and scale meant to make it cheaper?
The rental market not clearing evictions for a year is "100x worse" than 600,000 people dying? This website is the worst.
IMO understanding how cryptocurrency works is a prerequisite, because a lot of the stuff being built in defi are fairly new financial instruments.
Pro TikTok take. It's easier and friendlier to consume. The algorithm is good at tailoring interests. But, it's more like TV than FB.
There used to be a '--lite' option that produced smaller binaries, but it looks like they removed it recently [0]. There's also a CLI called pkg that lets you achieve something similar with Node. It actually compiles the source code into V8 bytecode and bundles that with the Node binary [1].

Sometimes I wonder what the most downloaded app would be if free apps simply didn't exist. Let's put $1 as the minimum. Would TikTok still be #1?

Apparently Minecraft is the #1 downloaded paid app. Would TikTok beat Minecraft? It's kind of fascinating. TikTok's ability to hook you in is truly amazing.

> So 10-12 hours at 1g is about as much as we can do with existing hardware.

This seems very inefficient due to the high energy cost and the long timescales in the proposal. The long timescales means it would be hard to adapt this method to counteract rapid weather & climate fluctuations.

A better option to control climate due to the sun would be to build a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade between Earth and the Sun. While the common design is a monolithic piece of metal to block the sun, a more practical design would involve a swarm of reflective robots flying in the appropriate set of orbits. They would be powered by solar panels and maneuver using solar sails to constantly adjust their orbits. That would allow your to block as much sunlight as you want and adjust the levels on a daily basis.

You could also divert sunlight rather than blocking it which means you could increase the amount of sun the Earth gets if you want more light. Or you could use the swarm to focus sunlight on a certain part of the Earth while blocking light to other parts. This would allow for localized climate modification or even weather modification if you had a powerful enough supercomputer to predict the chaotic effects.

Since you could adjust the light distribution on the order of days rather than centuries, there would be a lot more room for fine-grained control compared to orbital modification.
Why does the road cross the chicken?
Loads of companies routinely lease partial floors. Its really not that crazy of a concept.
You are correct, but this explanation is cultural and sociological, not logical.

We must motivate math, absolutely. And to do so in my opinion starts with socratic questioning. You must convince the student that such an inquiry is even worthwhile.

One thing I'll point out is that we're not just seeing this in math. We see it in every field. More and more kids every year are insisting ( and their teachers are agreeing) that we can do away with inquiries into the English language and the humanities as well. There is a small, but continuing, effort to remove the knowledge of English masters like shakespeare and classic philosophers and treatises from the curriculum.

As a whole, American schooling fails to motivate learning of any kind. Math was the first victim, but the other subjects are also failing.
Why is bread not considered ultra-processed?

I am trying to use my common sense here. To create it, you must apply mechanical processing to grind wheat. Chemical processing for the yeast to reacting to the sugars. thermal processing to cook the bread. There is evaporation of the liquid in the bread.

This seems like a lot of processes required to create this.
> I live in Burbank, where Ubers were never more than 5 minutes away. Now, a 30 minute wait is common – and the fare is comparable to the licensed taxi company, which is literally one app away from achieving feature parity with Uber.

I'm not an Uber apologist in the slightest but why is it that apps for the alternatives still suck? In a similar vein a delivery co-op app launched in my area semi-recently and I tried their app and it's absolute garbage. I've done minor app development and while I'm not great at it, I don't think you need millions (or billions in Uber's case) of dollars to create something on-par. Honestly you could pair me with a good designer and for the price of 1 year of pay I have doubt it could be built.
Not being able to publish closed-source apps is a feature.
Why would you mention "Django", "Nginx", "Postgres", "Digital Ocean", "Ubuntu" or "Stripe"? Surely those are implementation details that the user wouldn't care about.
Answering my own question:

Industrial breads made only from wheat flour, water, salt and yeast are processed foods, while those whose lists of ingredients also include emulsifiers or colours are ultra-processed. Plain steel-cut oats, plain corn flakes and shredded wheat are minimally processed foods, while the same foods are processed when they also contain sugar, and ultra-processed if they also contain flavours or colours.

From http://www.fao.org/3/ca5644en/ca5644en.pdf
That definitely fixes the problem for the landlords, but I don't really like the idea of my tax dollars subsidizing deadbeats. What if the government paid the rent for now, but then came after the renters for it later with the same force that the IRS does?
Doctorow’s schtick is to be a snarky know it all.

I worked in government and started doing services procurements years ago. When I first started doing that, I was really taken aback by the cynicism of the procurement officers and attorneys. Then I did two or three engagements… and it makes sense.

Similarly, I experienced the delight aspect on a trip where I paid $20 for a ride in a Mercedes SUV in Baltimore that would have been a $30 cab ride.

The next time I used Uber, 5 years later, it was a 10 year old Odyssey with an Afghan guy who was illegally sub-letting somebody’s Uber Driver account, and it cost $35 for a $20 cab ride.

End of the day, all of these stories boil down the same thing. Commodity services are either luxury at a premium, or minimum viable level of delivery at a low price.

Of course a mathematician improves when gaining nowledge and understanding. The question is how fast that happens and how easily that can be applied in different contexts or how hard it is to even recognize when which fact might be relevant for solving a problem. Knowing something like conformal geometry algebra is useless if possible use cases don't become obvious unless you're just following some form of instructions by someone who does.

I wouldn't say this is a hard rule though as a fresh, unbiased mind can also lead one down an overlooked path with surprising results.
Because money is so cheap, that investors are literally burning cash up in search of growth.

Uber has never made any sense to me as a business (since 2016), and it's crazy how long it's lasted.
> Fruit has a lot of sugar too

It does. We are not fruit bats. Eating a diet of just fruit is not healthy. But the fructose in fruits is digested and absorbed differently from the free sugar in processed foods.
Yes, if you look carefully you can see where it was, 9 years later. My skin heals strangely, perhaps. I was just looking at a dark spot from a small burn I got cooking last summer and wondering if that's normal.

With how severe the corner is on the MacBook, I’d compare the impact to being whacked with the back of a 4 lb butter knife.

> But there is no getting around the pure delight of the original user experience - irrespective of pricing. And I'm willing to bet that the leadership did not consider it a con from the beginning, they really thought they could make a profitable business from this in the long run.

I have no doubt about the same. But the point isn't about what Uber was; it's about what Uber became, and how their over-promises turned into outrageous claims that snowballed into a completely unsustainable business.

And while I do respect the spirit of the original app being a serious improvement over prior experience, truth is that nowadays even traditional banks and even government apps can be found that are just high-quality and show that you don't need a cutting-edge startup to have good service.

I also believe that other entrepreneurs would have been able to plod a similar path without ripping off investors or mismanaging finances.
But the gnostics weren't completely eradicated until much later. The Cathars[1], for instance, weren't defeated until about the time of this fresco.

You are implying that messing with the rental market had anything to do with 600,000 people dying. The fact that 600,000 tragically died of covid doesn't mean any of these non pharmaceutical interventions helped at all. I fully expect history to show that it would have been vastly better to do absolutely nothing than what we did over the last 18 months.
What about "view once" videos?
Ultra processed is defined by the FAO (The UN Food and Agriculture Organization) thusly:

> Formulations of ingredients, mostly of exclusive industrial use, made by a series of industrial processes, many requiring sophisticated equipment and technology (hence ‘ultra-processed’). Processes used to make ultra-processed foods include the fractioning of whole foods into substances, chemical modifications of these substances, assembly of unmodified and modified food substances using industrial techniques such as extrusion, moulding and pre-frying; use of additives at various stages of manufacture whose functions include making the final product palatable or hyper-palatable; and sophisticated packaging, usually with plastic and other synthetic materials.

Source: http://www.fao.org/3/ca5644en/ca5644en.pdf

I believe this is the widest standard used to define "ultra-processed", though there are more sentences and paragraphs in that doc explaining the definition more thoroughly.

Your honor, that outdated Apache server let me gain remote access to the machine. I was only doing what the code allowed me to do. This should be considered legitimate use of the software.
TikTok is probably the best social media app, the only problem is the terrible search function. It doesn't have the sorting and filters that youtube does, fixing this one thing would make it so much more useful to me...
Yeah, that was obviously not an optimization. You can't allocate 16 gigs in 5 micros. It might be problematic if you were relying on the lazy allocation of course.

The second example doesn't seem compelling to me either...is a newtype of a reference type a common application?
>So where is the money going?

To drivers AIUI. The "fair" value a driver should make is $1. Uber is paying them $0.7 and charging the customer $0.5. That said, I'm not sure how valid OP's assessment is without also considering Lyft/Didi/Grab. If Uber's business model is ultimately untenable, every company should be in trouble

OK, we're getting somewhere. 1. Who are the conspirators, 2. What are they doing, 3. What is the end result, and 4. How does it benefit the conspirators?

So, for 1. you mention a shadowy "global elite" but also name Rothschild (which one?), George Soros, and Bill Gates. OK. Another poster points to the CIA, NSA, and FBI. All right.

For 2. It's "deploys CASM on cell phones". I guess this means Tim Cook has to be another conspirator.

3. What is the end result? Now, we're getting hazy. But, don't worry, most conspiracies start getting vague at this step. You say "manufacture consent for a vital tool needed to advance their agenda." What does that mean? What is the tool and what is their agenda? You hint at "equally distribute opportunities to developing countries." Is that what's going on here? How do you connect the dots between CASM and that? Or, maybe it's "prevent nuclear, biological, or cyber attacks." How does CASM do that? What is the end game?

Finally, 4. How does this all benefit the Rothschilds, George Soros, and Bill gates? Beats me, these people already have everything. What benefit would motivate this shadowy conspiracy? This is where most of these conspiracies totally break down: Drawing the line back to how the conspirators benefit.

The Rothschilds are also reportedly working with PG&E, Jerry Brown, and Solaren to use space lasers to start wildfires, resulting in high speed rail in California. Even if you could connect those dots, I don't get how it benefits the conspirators.

It’s reasonable to use investment capital to produce housing, then have people live in the housing and pay rent to provide returns to the investor. That’s a good way for society to enable people who can’t build a home to still get to live in a home. This shouldn’t provide permanent unbounded returns, because housing doesn’t last forever, needs to be maintained, and other investors can build more housing to compete away excess returns.

The problem is investment returns for land, especially in combination with density restrictions. That’s where the housing affordability problem comes in.
Eh, I remember I was put in a D class. Math classes there were like "today we are going to study addition, who wants to ask this student to add two numbers?" so I volunteered and asked the guy to add 5 to 7 - I understood that the class somehow struggled with two digit numbers and wanted to see this in action. The teacher, though, realized what my plan was and said we can't do this level of complexity right now. That day I learnt something important though: that the crowd follows "the rules" without questioning them and that being a smartass isn't rewarded. We were 6-7 year olds then.
How do you see them making a profit?

Like, if you need to exclude stock based compensation (amongst other things) from your adjusted EBITDA metric, then you have problems with your business model.
They are small (flour, yeast, salt, etc) number of ingredients if you shop for bread at specialty, expensive, organic shops or make it yourself.

At the supermarkets 99% of the US uses, even the high end bread is 15-25 ingredients at eyeball. The ingredient list for one of the most expensive packaged whole wheat bread that would show up at a regular non-Whole Foods-style place: Whole Wheat Flour , Water , Sugar , Wheat Gluten , Yeast , Wheat Bran , Salt , Soybean Oil , Raisin Juice Concentrate , Enrichment ( Calcium Sulfate , Vitamin E Acetate , Vitamin A Palmitate , Vitamin D3 ) , Calcium Propionate ( Preservative ) , Datem , Grain Vinegar , Monoglycerides , Soy Lecithin , Citric Acid , Potassium Iodate .
> The "language models don't really understand anything" corner is getting smaller and smaller.

In my mind, understanding a thing means you can justify an answer. Like a student showing their work and being able to defend it. An answer with a proof understands the answer with respect to the proof it provides. E.g. to understand an answer with regards to first order logic, it'll have to be able to defend a logical deduction of that answer.

These models still can't justify their answers very well, so I'd say they're accurate but only understand with respect to a fairly dumb proof system (e.g. they can select relevant passages or just appeal to overall accuracy statistics). They're still far from being able to justify answers in the various ways we do, which I'd say means that by definition that they still don't understand with regards to the "proof systems" that we understand things with regards to.

Maybe the next step will require increasingly interesting justification systems.
Because they no longer have to incentivize you to move to a very high cost of living location.

This is one of those things that’s easy to say but way harder for parents to actually do. You’re suggesting someone make time to prepare not one, but two homemade meals as they’re trying to get their kid (and probably themselves) out the door in the morning.

But I will respond to this point:

NMEC itself would never go for the entirety of the database sitting on each phone. It’s a jailbreak away from “Them” having the database and being able to check their images before uploading them places. (This overlooks the fact that it’s almost universally accepted by everyone outside of NMEC that deals with NMEC that “They” have the database several times over.)
