Issue here is that you have narrow minded thinking, you are focused to one thing and you cannot attach anything that has any other association, and as such it is easy to manipulate you, and everyone else whom governments needs to approve more military spending for future wars in some foreign country for the sake of oil and gold (e.g protecting our economic interests) and with excuse of protecting democracy and giving better life to those people.

Science has been aware of the potential of increased CO2 emissions to cause heating of the atmosphere and hence global warming for a century. You can thank capital and politics not heeding this until now when the "risks" are becoming realities.

Yes, a good example is that despite 40 decades of trying, there are still domains that C++ failed to take away from C.

Companies rather invest into hardware memory tagging than trying to rewrite C applications into something else, in those domains.

I suppose. But scientific revolution reduced human suffering considerably by doing so, for example starvation in most of the world stopped and vaccination saved millions of lives. Science solves on problem, possibly causes another and then solves it, etc.

The problem with religion is that it only creates problems and invents justifications for why they are natural and good.

This gear will get cheaper soon.

There is a big push in the Industrial automation world to get TSN/PTP deployed more widely and perhaps universally. The idea is to eliminate the dichotomy of real time vs non real time Ethernet networks in control systems from the plant network down to the machine level.

This way you can send EtherCAT frames at equidistant intervals to servo drives in the microsecond range while casually streaming SPC data or Netflix over the same wire.

This is also in conjunction with the newer single pair Ethernet tech that the Automotive world is also interested in.
Interesting questions, but I think one aspect is sorely missing from the analysis: personality.

The author sees himself as an introvert. He likes typed languages. He reads books about Turing, Church and Gödel. He seems to like understanding things. Sounds to me like he has a cognitive style where what Kahneman calls System 2 is dominant.

I’m not familiar with all his “heroes”, but I would assume most people become “heroes” because they are somewhat extroverted. They like talking to people. They like going to conferences. They like being in the limelight. With this often comes a different cognitive style, closer to what Kahneman calls System 1.

People are incredibly different when it comes to cognition. I think the answer to the question in the title is: Your thinking is based on a faulty premise. There simply is no single objective function.

> The CGM (continuous glucose monitor) was one of the best things to help me regulate my blood sugars

I couldn't agree more. I rave about my CGM, even with it's flaws.

- A little bit more confidence that I'll know when my blood is low, especially when sleeping

- Being able to check my blood sugar with 0 effort. I don't even mind poking holes in my fingers that much, but the difference between "get up, go downstairs, test blood, come back, get back into what I was doing" and "look at my phone" is HUGE. I "check my blood" dozens of times a day now, because it takes no effort.

- The chart, being able to see where my blood has been every 5 minutes over the past timeframe, is fantastic. I can see not only where it is but how it got there.

- Because I check my blood so often, I've gotten a better "feel" for how my blood is impacted by different things.

- Being able to go online and see the graphs of my blood sugar over timesframes over months... Once again, it just adds more information to understanding of my body and blood sugars.

The CGM "transforms", in every sense of the word, my ability to regulate my blood sugars.
The terrorists have - on a shoestring budget no less - done more harm to the USA, it's standing in the world and its ability to do business than many years of cold war between the USA and the USSR have done. They succeeded wildly beyond their - and probably anybody else's - imagination and the damage they did is felt every day, including the increased polarization in the United States which is having its effect as we speak.

This is standard leverage: Borrow money at rate x to invest in something that has a return >x. Nothing new, happens all the time.

Good question. I could do some examples.

Good: carbon tax or cap and trade (ideally revenue neutral). Electric car subsidies.

Bad: climate lockdowns. Restricting travel. Travel credits. Social credit score tied to climate behavior. (This stuff keeps me up at night)

No, this obsession with "financial" is exactly what is the American Dream, not what I'm talking about.

You can live on so much less than minimal wage - it is because people go along with societal expectations do they consider it not enough. You pay the rent to live in an apartment, in a city, and work an official, recognised job. Why do you necessarily need to live in an apartment? Why in a city? And why do you need to work that menial job to pay off all of it barely having anything left at the end of the month?

Look up dirtbagging, a movement rock climbers came up with to dedicate their lives to climbing instead of the 9-5. You can get by fine with living in a tent and eating from expired cans and free McDonalds ketchup packets if that gives you the freedom to pursue what you find meaningful.

The problem is when you analyze what this means in practice. In Belgium consensual sex is legal IF

1) both parties are < 18, and the age difference is less than 5 years OR one party is > 18 and the age difference is less than 2 years

2) both parties are both older than 14 years (used to be 16)

3) there is no "power relationship" between them (this requirement actually drops when one, not both, turns 18)

Unfortunately ... now apply these rules to a sexual relationship between a 14 and a 17 year old.

a) 1st year: legal, any images are not CSAM

b) 2nd-5th year: illegal, any images are CSAM

c) 5th year onwards: legal, images not CSAM

Law sucks. It used to be worse, this is an actual improvement over the previous situation, but ...

What is absolutely not clear to me: does (a) mean sexual images of a 14 year old are now legal in Belgium in that case? The law does not seem to require that the owner of the pictures has to be one of the participants ... but I find it hard to believe this is the actual intent.

And to make matters even more bad, this is not the only way to punish kids. You see while this will prevent criminal prosecution, you DO NOT need a criminal conviction to lock up a minor (and they're trying to extend this). Youth services can and does, without any proof (and in practice by getting 1 social worker to say something like "it is an unhealthy relationship". They can shop around until they find one, btw, and often the one they find has never seen either kid) and in the above example lock up both partners, the younger for up to 7 years and the older up to 4. In practice they will punish the younger kid, almost always the girl.

The fun thing is when a kid is locked up for criminal reasons (bad enough so that he actually goes to prison) schooling CANNOT (and is not in practice) denied to the kid. When youth services locks kids up, they can (and are in practice) denied schooling. But of course the previous point means the police will try to use child services, not criminal prosecutions, if at all possible.

So sadly, if you want a kid's situation to improve over time and they do not want to end the relationship, your course of action is clear: you should let the abuse continue and even (help) hide it. However, if you want to hurt the kid(s) (whether or not such a relationship is actually abusive), you should report them. So here too the net result of the law is: very easy to "abuse" the law to hurt children (esp. if you are a social worker), very hard to use the law to protect children against abuse (or actually help them)

GNSS gives you a 1 pulse per second signal. It is often with 20ns of accuracy. Now you need to interpolate nanoseconds between consecutive 1pps pulses. This is where a high stability oscillator is needed. You can certainly use an OCXO for the fraction of the cost of a MAC. We went for the MAC because of the importance of the role that the device plays in our datacenter

And what does a working class person make in Omaha, $35,000? Less? A 30y mortgage at today's low interest rates with a 20% downpayment (how is this person going to save $160,000 for the downpayment?), you are spending $18,000 on a mortgage plus property tax. Add $8,000 for maintenance and suddenly a very very large portion of a working class income is going entirely to this house.

Opposite experience for me. I can turn on my DSLR, zoom, focus on the subject, and get a shot in under two seconds, with no noticeable latency between pressing the shutter and taking the photo, and without having to take my eyes off the subject. Subsequent photos a half second or less.

(I used to own a Canon G11. It was not as fast as a DSLR, but I don't recall it being nearly as slow as you describe.)

Meanwhile on Android, I'm lucky if the stock camera app loads in that time. Plus another three seconds to muck with the focus circle, and another two seconds of latency while it actually takes the photo. The whole time I'll be starting at the screen trying to find the tiny circles for my fingers to tap. If I managed not to actually miss the moment (unlikely), I later get to go back and crop the photo, because pinch zoom while shooting is too slow to even consider using while shooting.

I have missed a lot of good shots when all I had was my cell phone.

(Yes, I could get an iPhone and it will probably perform better, and buy some contraption to give it physical buttons.)

To be honest, if I was a local civilian, and someone is doing terrible things to me and my people, I don't think I cared too much about whether the people terrorising us is a mercenary or "a regular soldier" deployed by a country. There are examples of both soldiers and mercenaries getting away with horrible stuff. In the end both would leave me disgusted with both the people committing these crimes and their origin country.
I see that as "I set my mom up with a nice linux distro that works for her instead of driving her back to her (ransom/ad/whateveriship)ware filled windows life"

AFAIK the 140 year is just an arbitary value the British Library have used, it isn't part of copyright law. The UK has used a life + X[1] years system since the 1840s[2]. I guess they assume 140 years is enough to ensure any unknown / untracable authors have been dead for long enough for a work to be near unquestionably in the public domain.

[1] Where X has steadily increased with each copyright law revision.

[2] The US was a weird outlier on this for a long time after most of the world settled on this system.
The village substantially more expensive than e.g. the upper west side? (These places are all outside of my price range so I've never really looked.)

There are also lots of other reasons the tip of manhattan may have been more expensive—for example, it's just the oldest part of the city, so everything started there and expanded outwards.
What's interesting to me is how the form factor of timing GPS modules has stayed constant over the years. I started my GNSS timing journey with a used Trimble GPS from the 2000s, and it has the same form factor and pinout as the modern multi-constellation timing GPSes from uBlox.

I've had a GPS clock going for several years at this point, and without an atomic clock or really any fanciness (just LinuxPPS and Chrony), I see about +/- 380ns, which is pretty good. NTP to the Internet gives me jitter in the range of about 20ms-70ms, about 5 orders of magnitude worse.

(The version a few iterations ago looked like this: https://github.com/jrockway/beaglebone-gps-clock. But I now have a uBlox multi-constellation GPS, which is much more accurate with my limited view of the sky from my Brooklyn apartment. And I 3D printed the case, so it actually looks presentable instead of like some crazed madman that attacked a plastic case with a hacksaw -- which is exactly how I made the first case. As for the DS3231 RTC that I added... that seems to be stable within about 1.5us, which is pretty impressive. I tuned it a little bit with the trim register, though.)

My takeaway from this article is that the project seems quite compelling, but a lot of cost is added to support PTP. I see why Facebook needs that, but to sync time precisely throughout my lab, all I need is a coaxial cable with 10MHz on it. I don't mind if my workstation is 20ms off UTC.
Having done the same move from the US (to Western Europe) I have come to the same conclusion. The United States is by and for the corporations; there’s a large enough bourgeois that think the system is meritocratic or in any way lives up to the country’s states ideals that a social consciousness shift is unlikely. It also helps that most Americans have so little time off work that they’ll never see another developed nation up close, let alone read about much of the world.
I just finished playing this and I wasn’t particularly impressed. It seemed to be saying that your anxiety is controlling you when you choose not to use, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tinder. I don’t believe that using social media apps is a necessary or meaningful thing to do with your life. Nor do I think it’s fair to imply that people who choose not to engage on those platforms are suffering from anxiety disorders. In fact it often seems more the opposite way around.

However, I’m not entirely sure that this was the intended insinuation. Yet it’s hard to read anything else into it since its about a girl trying to engage with her friends on her phone across these various platforms and being stopped by the ‘anxiety wolf’. She even gets her health dinged for sharing a news story, which to some extent could be viewed as engaging with reality.

Engaging with reality can most assuredly cause anxiety, however I don’t really view this as improper. I don’t believe that mental health should be thought of as a framing or mindset one has to the extent that it frames reality away. I.E. I may feel better if I pretend covid is not real though I am not making a healthy choice if I do.

"If Read suffered from poor health during his working years or required long-term care, his estate would be a fraction of what it was."

So don't bother saving or trying to get rich, because you might become ill and have to spend the money on your health?

The whole article seems weird. What is their point? So 300$/Month is not enough, but 500$ would be? Surely that is something many people could at least aspire to?

I think the poverty discussion often overlooks the fluent nature of the economy. People who have low paying jobs today (say pizza driver) don't necessarily have the same job forever. But new "poor people" (often young people) will enter the market and become pizza drivers.

Should pizza drivers give up all hope and just "live"?
