"Canonical Huffman code is an optimal prefix-free compression code whose codewords enumerated in the lexicographical order form a list of binary words in non-decreasing lengths. Gagie et al. (2015) gave a representation of this coding capable to encode or decode a symbol in constant worst case time. It uses σlgℓmax+o(σ)+O(ℓ2max) bits of space, where σ and ℓmax are the alphabet size and maximum codeword length, respectively. We refine their representation to reduce the space complexity to σlgℓmax(1+o(1)) bits while preserving the constant encode and decode times. Our algorithmic idea can be applied to any canonical code."

though use this with care.
It's at least a design pattern to consider. Main tradeoffs are cost, expressiveness, and fine-grained testing/control. But leveraging infra does provide me with much joy.
Side note: the whole trinkets for land thing is exaggerated. Native populations didn’t have any concept of land “ownership” similar to what the Europeans did. There is a strong argument that they perceived the trinkets as more of a friendly gesture, like a diplomatic gift. Then the settlers proclaimed they owned the land and ran the native populations off. Not so dissimilar than how you’re using the analogy, because users don’t really have a good concept of owning their data or metadata, while the social media empires expropriate it for their own immense gain after confusing the users into thinking they were getting something for free, all the while giving themselves the excuse that it was a fair trade because the users/natives accepted the pittance offered to them.

There Is a Tennis Ball Shortage Too Now
This article is referring to data centers that hire relatively small numbers of temporary contractors, not actual FAANG offices popping up and offering long-term engineering jobs.

Its a stretch to argue that these additional jobs, even if they are time-limited contracts through a contracting company that services FAANG, are a bad thing. The contracting companies aren’t misleading candidate when they’re hired - These are clearly contract jobs. They may not be great jobs, but they’re not displacing other jobs either. They’re just additional jobs.

Calling them “big tech” jobs is almost as misleading as claiming that the construction workers and electricians who built the data enter were “big tech” construction workers.

The general public is often confused about the difference between data center technicians and software/hardware engineers. I remember when I was younger and a FAANG company considered building a data center near my home town. Many of my extended family members thought I could move home, get a FAANG job working at the data center, and be set for life in my home town. I spent a lot of time explaining to people that my work didn’t resemble physically servicing data centers at all. This article plays off of that same idea.
I didn't mean that money shortage is always the problem, that that has been often the notable case in recent experience. Hyperinflation is also a monetary/financial issue, too much money, not enough demand, crashing value.

I think the difference between inflation & hyperinflation is that "inflation" can be contained mostly within the real economy. Hyperinflation, has to have a macroeconomic, money supply related, explanation.

Lebanon's current mess, for eg, is more or less the consequence of letting Beirut banks do what stablecoin does, but the old fashioned way. High interest dollar accounts, backed by high interest Lira. Lira loans, backed by the same dollarized banking system. Dollars come in, and dollars are owed. Liras go out, and Liras are owed back. It works until the underlying currency bends. Liras come in. Dollars go out. A port explosion & widespread loss of confidence in the governing system are part of the story.

The upshot I'm driving for is that stuff happening entirely in the money markets causes determines goods flowing in and out of ports and fibre, not the other way around. It's not lebanon's ability to export goods that changed and killed its ability to import goods and resources. It's its inability to import dollars, and its ability to pay using Liras that collapsed first.

I will fight you on that...the best ones are the Alphanso mangoes from Salem in India. The problem is they are so scarce even in Salem. So they are not as available as the Ratnagiri version.

The is a variety of mango called Sugar Baby(Direct translation), a whole different type of mango. You bite into it and suck the flesh out, and there is no cutting.

End of season Banganapalli is also fantastic. The ones, in the beginning, have a sulfuric tinge to them sometimes.

I think the west misses out a lot on mangoes. The same thing with bananas, the west has the most boring type of banana. Unfortunately, even in India, the more exotic varieties of bananas are dying out.
Sounds like your news literacy deficiency is being unable to judge the relative importance of news stories, given your ridiculous examples.
Few years ago I tried to import Haapoos(English name, Alphonso) mangoes in the UK from India. I was informed by the authorities that bulk import is not allowed. A person can carry mangoes in luggage while entering the UK. But bulk importing was disallowed. That was a bummer, as these mangoes are very delicious and has some fantastic aroma.
Apple turned over all of the San Bernardino iPhone data, as iCloud Backup information is not e2e encrypted and is readable in full by Apple without ever touching or decrypting the phone.

The Apple vs FBI narrative was a coordinated marketing move (coordinated between the FBI and Apple) to push that "paragon of privacy and security" brand message. It's false.

Apple explicitly preserves a non-e2e backdoor in their cryptography for the FBI:

While this might be the first time a state has put this in the curriculum, I can say as the son of a school librarian that news and primary source disinformation/literacy education has been a standard among more forward-thinking library programs for the last 5-10 years. The need to have students be able to find a piece of information and then critically assess the validity of it, and if necessary explore alternate sources is a really important part of good research skills in the modern era.

In fact, when my mother got her masters of library science, I was suprised at how much of the curriculum was basically 101-level comp sci- databases, Unix, basic programming, Internet tech, etc. Being a school librarian is basically about Internet and news trust, maker tech, and research skills, rather than books and literacy.
> So teachers teaching religion must be accredited by both the government (for competency) and by their religious authority (for adherence to dogma). That's good, because you know who they answer to, and since religious authorities are usually mainstream you won't get revolutionaries or apocalyptic types either.

Religious authorities have a long history of oppressing free thought, including questioning the authority or tenants of the religion, and rationality, such as science. I would not say they are usually 'mainstream', unless we circularly define mainstream as whatever the religion says.

The same story applies to guys btw.
Only some numbers.

As is, my implementation requires objects where "<" and "<=" are meaningful, and it requires that a comparison to -math.inf is also meaningful.

For example, it won't work with complex numbers, first because they cannot be compared to -math.inf:

>>> list(monotonic_direct([1j, 2j, 4j]))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "monotonic.py", line 40, in monotonic_direct
test = prev_value <= value
TypeError: '<=' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'complex'

and second because Python doesn't support an ordering for complex numbers:

>>> 1j < 2j
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'complex' and 'complex'

As I mentioned, it's possible to replace the sentinel -math.inf with something that starts with seq[0]. This would allow strings and orderable objects.

This is left as an exercise for the reader. ;)

You conveniently omit the fact that vaccinated people are much less likely to contract delta (and subsequently transmit it) than unvaccinated.

We were also told "two weeks to stop the spread!" by the CDC and most major news sources.

"two weeks" from mid-March would be April

"stop the spread" could reasonably interpreted as "we won, all is well"

Therefore, it's easy to see why people - including Trump - would be convinced this would all be done in April 2020.
Yeah we have a similar problem where I live with giant hornets. They came here through shipping and now I suspect we’ll never be rid of them. Himalayan Blackberry also comes from a farmer importing plants to grow without considering that birds would distribute the seeds. It’s so pernicious here that you have to patrol your property for it and remove it monthly. New shoots can sickly take over an area. One shoot I saw had climbed 30 feet into the canopy of one of our red cedar trees.

I was once of the “this’ll be over by the end of April” people, but I didn’t mean the virus would be gone. Only that the initial response would be over (“flatten the curve”) and we’d go back to normal, accepting the deaths.

I didn’t think the new goal would become “no one can ever die of this”. Had I known that, I wouldn’t have said this would be over soon.

Not necessarily. Just look a crypto, these people are not selling. Just being a crypto millionaire on paper is good enough of a reward. They have no desire to sell it all and buy a bunch of retail goods. Housing is unaffordable to average workers in many places, but consumer goods are not going to inflate like crazy until there is a higher demand for them.
They should do that. They should also teach about actual journalism and not just information found online. I realize now that I had a great advantage in dating for several years someone who was in the College of Journalism at my University. I learned a great deal about what journalists do and why they do it that way.

It gave me a lot of insight about why it's unlikely someone who's invested a lifetime into a career would intentionally jeopardize all of it by not following the journalistic standards and ethics they had learned and studied for so long. About the difference between a factual statement and a biased statement. The purpose of an editor. What are the consequences when an editor makes a mistake. And so on.

At that time a lot of it was also how to develop film and run a darkroom, but that's obviously not taught anymore!

> You very clearly buying the right to have access to the newest features as the role out. This is very clearly spelled out when you buy it.

All I know is in my personal experience, everyone who bought FSD feels conned. Maybe you went into it eyes wide open, and if so good for you. Maybe they expected a faster rollout of features, maybe they didn't notice that part of the sales pitch at all.

How big is the disclaimer when you buy FSD? I'm not sure that any disclaimer is really worth the horribly misleading name.

>Do you have any actual data about people deliberately go to sleep?

Well, there was the one where someone went into the back seat to sleep. And there were several other high-profile crashes where people turned on FSD and passed out at the wheel at over 100MPH.

And, we only have data on when the FSD fails, and crashes ensue. Heck, we probably only have data on fatalities because the news doesn't want to get sued.
