> Efficiency is rewarded by consumer buying (voting with money) efficiently produced products.

Right, but the fact that our economic outcomes are decided by consumers is an artifact of our economic system, not some necessary truth. There are a lot if upsides to such a system, but as discussed in this thread there are also downsides.

> I would argue our economic system is just fine. But we fail in political, educational and ethical issues

I disagree here. Our economic system makes sweatshop clothes cheaper (we could for example regulate or raise tariffs against them). That means that making thw ethical choice becomes a sacrifice of sorts, and not only that but it puts people who don't make that choice at a comparative advantage (they have more money left over), which effectively makes their influence over the rest of the economy greater.

We should be doing better in terms of political and ethical education, but we should also be ssetting up economic incentives to do the ethical thing not the opposite.
Which merely makes it possible to lie in a civil manner, while not being able to point out the lie.
Yeah, you search my name, you get an info card about me - with a horrendous mugshot of a Jacksonville meth dealer with whom I share my relatively uncommon name.

I’ve had people think it’s me, several times, and likely more times than I know.

I’ve contacted google a few times, but like with most things google, it’s just a black hole.
I don't think this has anything to do with json or examples in general. At least not for me.

Quite often after reading their doc I just don't understand what result I should expect.
Also the whole documentation simply lacks sane navigation. It's almost impossible to find anything there without google.

In 50% of cases this is how it works for me (exaggerated):

Question: how do I sum two integers?

Expected Answer: You should use SUM(). The result of the function is the sum of two integers. Examples:

2 + 2 = 4

2 + (-2) = 0

-1 + (-1) = -2

Answer from Elastic docs: Well, you should execute this query agains this API, which will launch X subroutines in Elastic engine and the final result will be the result of of the aggregation of function defined by the Ex with En+1 being your query's body field Y with respect to url query param N.
I came across a similar line in a Podcast 3-4 years ago. I was baffled at that line, same as the reply commenters here.
it was Hidden Brain or Planet Money or Freakonomics. They didn't elaborate on that. & I forgot to dig into it
The NASA images of space are colored black and white images, if I'm not mistaken. So artists are involved in NASA's images as well it seems.
No. It's the result of massive inflation but the information exchange is still ongoing, at some point the market will correct and things will get very ugly.
Disallowing developers access to production is pretty common in many Danish government contracts. Contracts for new IT systems are normally submitted by at least two companies in tandem. One company will be developing the software, while the other is responsible for operations.
There's some practical concerns with current generation batteries though; use of rare earth materials, lithium, and fire hazards and risks in accidents.

I mean they're not the end of the world and they are acceptable compared to e.g. the environmental damage done by the production and consumptions of petrol and diesel, but I feel like they still iterate on them a lot.

I mean the ideal here is not to just create an alternative to ICE's, but to come out on top. For a good while the only reason people went for an electric car besides idealism was subsidies. But if an electric car ends up being superior in every way - range, handling, cost - of an ICE car, they will compete ICE cars out of the market without subsidies or force.

Because at the moment it feels forced. Car manufacturers have already announced they will stop producing ICE cars in a decade or so.

The difference in our results certainly is curious.
The US has ~280 million cars on the road.

The number of electric cars sold in 2020 was ~250k.

The average age of a car in the US is 12 years.

If electric car sales quadruple each year until they reach the total number of cars sold in the US (around 16 million cars per year), it will take at least 18 years to replace all the combustion engine cars on the road.

And this is wildly optimistic, electric cars are too few and too expensive, even as second hard cars, for the general population. I estimate that they'll reach a sort of break-even point with combustion engine cars around 2025 or so. So you can probably add 3-4 more years to those 18 I counted. So at least 20 years to have a mass replacement of existing cars on the road.

And in the rest of the world it's even worse. The rest of the world is poorer, has lower disposable income, cars are around for longer, and electric car sales are ramping up even slower.
What you do in uni is demonstrate that you're interested in certain things and you have enough work ethic to learn the exam answers. That's all.

That might be true for you—and others—but it’s not always that way. I use the knowledge I learned in my degree all the time in my work - sometimes directly, sometimes as the foundation on which I can build my understanding of a more domain-specific problem. That knowledge is augmented by the extracurricular I did and my experience working in various roles over the years. I’m pretty sure this isn’t uncommon.

I agree that the softer skills of self-directed education, research, writing etc. are important and widely transferable. Plenty of people I know have been successful in careers distinct from their higher education. But I do think it’s a bit reductive to dismiss the value of a deep technical education so easily.
Is there another thing you would attribute it to?

It's not hard to simply ask "of this profession, what is the salary of those w/ a degree, and those w/o" at the national level
The economy has been forcefully closed. We're in our second year (the longest "14 days to flatten the curve" ever) of people being locked down in their homes.

Two natural assumptions are that there is less demand for economic activity and that people are depressed / have less mental bandwidth for work.

Without being able to do most of the fun stuff in life thanks to our authoritarian governments, I burnt out at my job, quit and dedicated solely to running my side business.

I make way less money than before but it's not something I could mentally handle anymore.
We sadly have tons of such articles, but I would forgive "appleinsider.com" here. You can deduce what to expect.

That said, there are election in a few weeks... I think they are mostly lying and there are ambitions from all parties to increase control of online content caused by intangible fears. Parts of EU policy also is in direct contrast to this.
For those kinds of situations, I've seen SaaS companies offer some kind of internal "connector", which could then establish an outgoing connection to a known domain, thus allowing the IT dept. to limit the access as they require.
I'm not sure this is as true as it seems.

When creating simulations we do so by defining a computable function (ie., over discrete binary strings) which approximates some non-computable function (ie., over the reals).

It is important to note that those non-computable functions are derived, in part, analytically based on theorems which require infinite precision, ie., real numbers.

When we define a computable approximation we can only do so by narrowing the simulation to a scale where "the numbers have only a few significant digits". This is really the only thing we can simulate, and even then, we are using mathematical analysis to derive much of it -- which cannot be simulated.

If you really wanted to simulate across scales, ie., run a simulation "from atoms to tables", i think we'd be requiring many many many decimal places. It would likely, i think, be physically impossible to do. (Or if not, then atoms to planets would be) -- as the discrete precision required would require a theoretical minimum of mass that would create a black hole.

eg., Consider that a table has 10^verylargenumber of "spherical" atoms, and so its aggregate shape would be extremely sensitive to a miscalculation of each atoms shape ... and we would require a precision in PI probably something like 10^-verylargenumber.
There's a big gap between young single people's perception of the options available, and the view that comes with age and a family of dependents. I don't think anyone with kids thinks that it would be ok to not have a job for a protracted period, but if I was single I'd be able to quit work in six months.

> The people of Hong Kong were as much Chinese IMO as the Californians are Spanish.

This is plainly wrong. The population distribution of Cantonese speakers shows that Hong Kong is only a small part of the Cantonese speaking region. [1]

And although the situation apparently has changed, at 1997, 40 percent of Hong Kong people identified themselves as "Hong Konger and Chinese", together with the 20 percent identifying themselves solely as Chinese, makes up the majority. [2] I would think that at 1997, there were far less than 60 percent of Californian consider themselves as Spaniard at all.

Amazon shows different prices to different people... now that they got you hooked, you better watch out.
A while ago I was following George Takei on twitter, and he tells stories in which he does not make it sound like anyone was well provisioned nor treated relatively fairly.

Personally, I feel yours is the insane claim. Go read

and think of how well you are going to provision prisoners during a war.

I'm not going to measure which one is worse, nor will I call them identical, but I feel you are making light of an ugly moment in US history.
Isn't the lack of newly-inserted row a big enough clue? Or the change in insertion point when you go to insert again?

Those people are also the ones who would benefit most from higher education. They are learning and doing new things because they are genuinely interested in it. A good university would give them a chance to spend a few years exploring the possibilities without the pressure to do something immediately productive. They would learn from experts, find new interests, and work with peers with similar interests.

Any job a bright self-taught recent high school graduate can get is likely a job they should not take. Many bright young people turn bitter and disillusioned, because they made the easy choice when they got an offer for a real job. The job may very well be a local optimum with no good way forward. Because they are too focused on short-term goals, they may never get a chance to stop and think what to do with their lives.

The academia has a similar trap further on the road: grad school. If you are a good student who is genuinely interested in learning for the sake of learning, grad school looks like the obvious step forward. For many, it will be the wrong choice.
Yes, we should have stuck with Big-endian.
Tecno Phantom X Unboxing and Review
I'm building a house where I'm doing exactly that. LED panels powered from a 48V solar installation.

We'll see how things go, but on paper at least this makes a lot of sense if you don't try to run things at 12V (why do people still try?). 48V is a voltage that is still safe, but cuts your amperage and losses to reasonable numbers.

While designing my own LED drivers, I found that most LED panels will internally work with a Vf of 36V, which you can efficiently get from your 48V installation.

Even in an AC-powered home, if you have lots of LED lighting in one place, it makes sense to use a single high-power converter to get 48V DC and then drive LEDs off that. Small AC to DC converters are inefficient.
Update: turns out there's an incredible Discord, github repos, and wiki for supporting Macs with T2 chips like my 2019 16" MBP. They got me up and running with Ubuntu on my MBP! With wifi, keyboard, mouse, and a member walked me through the whole install.

Forecasting P&L for Startups
Hi folks! would you be kind enough to tell me how you prepare your forecast P&L to receive investments, how you justify the volume of investments, how you find ratios for metrics and so on.
You do not know about what you are talking.

Both Roosevelt and Antonescu have ordered a collective punishment for an entire ethnic group as a consequence of facts proven only for a few members of those group, i.e. a few agents recruited by the Russians from the Romanian Jews, respectively a few Japanese from Hawaii who provided assistance for the attackers of Pearl Harbor.

In both cases, the collective punishments were not intended to cause any death, but in fact in both cases there were many premature deaths, which nonetheless cannot be directly attributed to Roosevelt and Antonescu but to those who were in charge at much lower levels. Obviously, leaders like Roosevelt and Antonescu should have been able to predict the consequences of their orders.

With "Sending people to be murdered in concentration camps" you confuse Romania with Germany.

In fact when Hitler asked all its allies to give him their Jews, to do what you say, Antonescu refused, unlike, for example Horthy, who has accepted Hitler's request and gave the Jews from the part of Romania occupied by Hungary to Germany. This is another example that "an all-too-willing Nazi accomplice" is an incorrect expression when applied to Antonescu.

There is no doubt that the Jews sent to the Romanian concentration camps suffered a lot, but had they been sent to Germany for the "final solution", that would have been much worse.

Also, the punishment of the Jews was not very different from what others suffered at the same time. Antonescu increased a lot the punishments even for various petty crimes. For example many Romanians were sent to labor camps for "disturbing the peace", e.g. by singing too loud and annoying thus the neighbors.

After the WW2, it is likely that most Jews from Romania had relatives who had lost their properties or their lives or had suffered while in concentration camps, but the same was true for most of the ethnic Romanians or for any other kinds of citizens. I was born in Romania and most of my maternal family relatives have been sent by the Russians to labor camps in Siberia during the 1940/1941 winter, half of year after the Soviet Union invaded Romania. Both my maternal grand-grandfathers have been murdered in the labor camp.

While the tragedy of the Jews during WW2 is very well known and some of their organizations have received significant material compensations for that, there have been millions of people in Eastern Europe who have had exactly the same fate like the Jews, but very few still remember that and they had never been compensated in any way.

There is also little doubt that the fact that both Roosevelt and Antonescu were able to decide such identical collective punishments, without much hesitations, shows that both had some racial prejudices, so both considered the Japanese, respectively the Jews, as some kind of lesser humans, who do not deserve to be trusted so much and who do not have the same rights for justice as the "normal" people.

Nevertheless, both Roosevelt and Antonescu have also done actions that benefited most of the people whose leaders they were, so they both must be analyzed taking into account both their defects and their qualities.

I live in Sweden, I know several people who got Borrelia infections including my girlfriend, and hers developed into Lyme once. Most caught it and treated it early but some just had a fever and only discovered it was Lyme after months.

It's insidious, if you spend time in nature you are exposing yourself to it. The ticks will be on tall grass, falling from trees, crawling from the ground. How can that be avoided?

During summer we have to check ourselves for ticks every single night, my girlfriend lives in a house inside a wooded area, I have a big garden on my house where deers are commonly spotted (this past month I've been visited by one every single day).

No, it's not easy to be avoided if you leave the house, just laying on my lawn or garden grass is enough to get me paranoid about it. My housemates have already found 3 ticks stuck to them.

Please, if you know an easy way to avoid all of this I'd love to hear it but so far I only know to be cautious and vigilant.

> You'd think this would have touched off a new "golden age" of people being thoughtful about not running things as root unless absolutely necessary, and generally being paranoid about handling subcommands, but that's not how it panned out in general. Instead, I'm pretty sure it pissed off the wrong people, and the rest is pretty much as you would expect.

I don't change jobs to often to say that this is how every largish company works, but it typical that if you point to a security hole, people are displeased (now they have to fix it). And if you don't want many enemies it is better to ignore security problems unless you can fix them yourself.

That partially explains the very sad state of corporate security.
Oh man that's such a common problem. I wish they'd use something like SES just to get around this problem, but hey. Even warming up emails does a lot to help you avoid the filter.
Well, it would actually be a good start and maybe push Americans to smaller and more efficient cars. The average price of gasoline is ~$7 in Europe, in poorer countries, and people seem to make do.

But I doubt the average American will give up the quality of life of owning a car that probably weighs have half a ton more than the average European car.
For me the annoying part that screams "old website" in a bad way is having two column for two different contents. I'd like to have one main content and be able to zoom on it easily. Outside of that, I think the "holy grail" design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_grail_(web_design)) and the muted colors are a characteristic of old web design.
The little end is at the lower address for LE.
Somewhat OT, but here goes anyway: This perfectly illustrates the downside of the casual way English just stacks a bunch of nouns on top of each other without bothering to tell how they relate to each other. Is this a "(Big Ass) ((Data Broker) (Opt-Out List))" or a "((Big Ass) (Data Broker)) (Opt-Out List)" -- a big list of opt-outs, or a list of opt-outs from big data brokers?

You can criticise French for a lot of things, but at least its "the this de la that du the other de la..." style is a lot less ambiguous: It's either a List of the Big Ass of the Opt-Out of the Data Brokers, or a List of the Opt-Out of the Data Brokers of the Big Ass, but either way, you know for sure which it is.

That is a way to see it.

I see it differently, for me the main issue is the fact that people run random software that were not even vetted.

If you dnf/apt install everything from the official repos of your distro, you wont have any misbehaving apps. And that model still holds.

And as I explained, other security models don't work either. People will just whitelist the app, or click "Accept" anyway, because they want the feature now! What's the point of nagging with a modal window "your random app, that you installed from a random website on the internet, which means you really want to use this specific app, is behaving in a shady manner, are you okay with this?"
well TIL, I believed accessibility to already be there by the late 80s, in NeXT workstations and the first windows versions but it looks like that was not the case.
What is also confusing that for physics to be a tensor/vector only the transformation behavior under the orthogonal group is considered, so acceleration is a vector. Math and GR (ok, this is also physics) then uses the coordinate transforms on a manifold, so these are different things.
I am young, single, and don't have kids, or any dependants. By "quit work", do you mean (potentially) for good, or for 3-4 months? Because for me, even with a year of intensive saving, I don't see see how I could possibly live off that for anything more than another year.

Most lamps do not contain a single LED, but rather a string of LEDs. For example, LED panels (troffers) usually use strings of 12 LEDs for a Vf of around 36V.
> Fortunately, there are alternatives that are better than either and are already working.

Agreed, I would love to see more spending for things like, CSP molten salt research and storage systems in the public domain. That way, even if countries like the US are still captive by certain industries to not adapt it at scale, countries like Chile with +100MW systems with 17h of molten salt storage that are grid connected now, can benefit.
The Cult of Mary Beard (2018)
Very interesting. It might be the case that zstd optimizes more for recent machines; zstd famously uses four different compression streams to maximize instruction-level parallelism and that might not work well in older machines. I haven't seen any machine where zstd is significantly slower than it should, but those machines I could test came from 2013 or later. Or either the RHEL package might have been optimized for recent machines. It would be interesting to test a binary optimized for the current machine (-march=native -mtune=native).
Hexadecimal data looks very confusing with big endian. 01234567 somehow becomes equal to 4567 0123 and 67 45 23 01... pretty darn out-of-order and unnatural.
What happened to NASA's Saturn?
A joke.
Yes! As a former Physics major who was puzzled by tensors for years (despite being relatively comfortable using and manipulating them), I actually had a similar breakthrough reading Fleisch's book and finally "getting" covariant and contravariant components via thinking about non-orthogonal basis vectors. Definitely one of those "why couldn't they have just explained it this way back when I was an undergrad?" moments. I got so excited when I was reading it that I literally got up, ran to the living room and subjected my partner (not a math or physics person at all) to an impromptu fifteen minute lecture with diagrams in multiple colors of ink. She wasn't as impressed.

(Fleisch's "Student's Guide to Waves" is also highly recommended as a book I wish I'd had when I was a student).
