And I in turn can only venture a guess that you have entirely forgotten the brain-liquefying tedium of modern mathematics education, as shown by the fact that you immediately revert to actually interesting patterns that a properly-educated mathematician might think about.

The dollars-and-cents addition problem mapped onto the "fun" toy store narrative is not mathematically interesting until assigned the type of analytical firepower outlined in OP's blog post. It is a deliberately obtuse trick question posed as a learning tool; children labelled "gifted" will figure it out and feel the dull satisfaction of killing another "problem", and those without that benefit will simply experience more fear and boredom.

This exact story appears in Gene Wolfe's Peace. Had no idea it was based on an actual legend. The idea of a ceramic pillow seemed so ridiculous that I didn't bother to check if they were real.
I agree with your main points but to be nit-picky, every C/C++ project I've ever worked on was/is able to 100% compile out logging code with a compile time flag. No "if debug" is left in the compiled code, it just doesn't exist.
These are much simpler. Usually just a 555 setup as a triangle wave generator connected to a series of voltage controlled oscillator chips with a small amp, one per antenna.
I’m confused. I understood this to generate static pages. If you never update them, the report wouldn’t change right?

E.g. it executes the queries during build time, not on every load.
Most 5G phones only supports “sub6” and only few supports “mmWave” standards. These are sort of analogous to “2.4GHz” and “5GHz” in Wi-Fi.

Why is the police involved in this? In Norway this task and authority is given to The Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom), that deal with everything regarding the radio spectrum.

Although I had never heard of it and it sounded a bit fake to my American ear, they seem to have alumni like Kevin Rudd and Kim Beazley, whose names seem vaguely familiar.

I'm extremely skeptical about that proposal. The sky crane is a nice idea on paper but in practice I don't think it will work. A fully loaded 20' shipping container can mass thirty tons (US). Even a light wind could turn a container on the airship's crane into a giant building destroying flail. There's also issues with static discharge that could be extremely hazardous and difficult to work around. Suggesting the airship will just use its crane to lift containers without extra infrastructure is really fantastical.

Then there's the fantastic promises of payload and speed. Even with their combination of hot air and helium for lift they would have to be ridiculously large to lift the proposed payloads. Until they've got an actual working full sized model I just don't believe their numbers. The Hidenberg was stupendously large and only had a payload of about ten tons using hydrogen, that's not even a single fully loaded 20' shipping container.

What! You don't understand, no one listens, understands!

It's not the frequency, but the carrier wave. The metal from COVID shots, is reactive to 5G frequencies, thus causing our cells to vibrate, damaging their DNA.

Worse, these vibrations prevent the neuron from firing until the carrier beats, forcing them to fire on demand, slowing thought, and even causing confusion at government mandated times.

This, coupled with in sync video transmissions on cable, can be used to cause a sense of agreeable thought at pro government messages.

They're in our head, they're messing up our DNA, it's all part of a decades long plot to oh god they're here tgey5 at the door I <no carrier>

Don't even bother responding. Consider my questions rhetorical. You've already more than proven my point and illustrated precisely what I mean. We all know where you're coming from, and it's crystal clear what kind of person you are and what your bigoted outdated attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people and same sex marriage are, and that you're just here to spread baseless misinformation, conspiracy theories, lies, and have a flame war. The vast majority of people here strongly and rightly disagree with you: my post was meant to counter blatant misinformation that you're just parroting and amplifying without any evidence, and it received 24 upvotes and several positive replies. Your bigoted opinions and baseless conspiracy theories simply aren't welcome here, and violate the rules of conduct. So go back to your Alt-Right Incel GamerGate web sites like Parler and Gettr and 8chan where you got your vile opinions and conspiracy theories and found other similarly small minded bigoted Neanderthals like yourself, and don't try pedaling that shit here any more.

TikTok bans viral 'milk crate challenge' over safety concerns
> A spokesperson for Starbucks said in an email in response to the union organizing drive: “While Starbucks respects the free choice of our partners, we firmly believe that our work environment, coupled with our outstanding compensation and benefits, makes unions unnecessary at Starbucks. We respect our partners’ right to organize but believe that they would not find it necessary given our pro-partner environment.”

I don’t know about the US, but that statement is such a joke in Switzerland Starbucks. “Partners” are fired the moment they declare they are pregnant, the pay is minimum wages (compared to even obscure fast food chains here, that pay significantly above the min) and stressful shifts are the norm due to understaffing.

The “perks”? Your drinks are generously on the fucking house, and you get to take home a bag of coffee beans every week. Source: several people I know well who are baristas.
I can't find the source now but I remember hearing that the number of gund deaths by homicide is lower than by suicide.

So if you are worried about someone dangerous coming into your house with a gun.. You should be most worried about yourself.
I'd expect cellular companies to have some capability in that area. They own their spectrum, and anything the cellular network didn't put there deserves attention.

Dumb denial jammers like this one are easy to find. All you need is a spectrum analyzer. There are some under US$100 for frequencies below 1GHz. For about $500 you can get up to 6GHz.

There's a procedures manual for this.[1] Basically, send out people with spectrum analyzers. FEMA has some spectrum analyzers on their list of stuff they will buy for first responders. US Homeland Security has annual practice exercises called "JamX" at White Sands Missile Range or some other isolated base to teach people how to find jammers. Jammers are enough of a headache that more responders are getting the gear to find them.

Any military aircraft or ship with electronic warfare capabilities will see a denial jammer as a target. Fundamentals of Naval Weapons Systems says: "This situation is most dangerous for the jamming unit because he is a prime target for all weapons systems and well within the capabilities of Home-on-Jam (HOJ) and Anti-Radiation (ARM) weapons."

The author makes the statement:

> And I think we did things that most programmers would be able to do:

> Get a base line for how fast we can zcat a file

> Use perf top to find some bottlenecks that can be addressed

> Look at the data to understand what the common case is

These are reasonable statements to make for people writing software in low level languages. They will frequently use those tools and make those considerations. The original code the author is referring to was written in Python by a person who specializes in data science, using mostly Python (according to their CV). The subsequent port into Rust was done because of claims of it being faster, but I wouldn’t necessarily expect someone primarily working in Python and performing a one-off port into a language they don’t regularly work in, specialized for a space they don’t regularly work in (systems programming) to know these things. It’s always cool to see performance and code length golfing exercises, but the argument that “most programmers would be able to do” the intuited evaluative scoping steps isn’t necessarily fair — not all programmers are working at lower levels of abstraction that warrant being necessarily aware of those tools.
The whole explanation of your point is just filled with analogies. IMO if you have to use analogies to explain your point then you really don't understand your own point.

When programming, I am thinking in terms of data, what processing the data needs, how will you structure the data in memory/disk, what IO/integration is required etc. This thinking has nothing to do with what the programming language allows/makes you to think. If your programming language is supposed to dominate your thinking about programs then you are just constraining yourself to a specific way of solving the problem.
Another Truth Warrior down...
That is assuming that all children (in the study) consume higher amounts of sugar than the adults. This may not necessarily be the case, at least for more conscious parents of children today. There is also an example case of the US federal government having mandated that school lunches be of high nutritional quality [0].

On a side note: Even as I quit processed sugar, I noticed that fruits taste slightly sweeter than normal. However, the bigger personal observation I've had is that my cravings for sweets has reduced. IMO this likely has to do with less drastic blood sugar swings during the day.

Another comical "policy" study.

Have any of those PhDs asked why the concept exists in the first place? Because Digital Nomads avoid paying tax (which isn't something to be emphasized on HN, we're supposed to attack corporations who do that).

But if the same group of PhDs got a grant to study international corporate taxation they'd all stand behind the recently adopted minimal corporate tax treaty.

Oh, how I can't stand socialist "scientists."

Has any of them proposed to make it possible to eliminate travel (save CO2) and simply allow people to switch to paying income tax in country of their choosing? We could prevent CO2 generated by 2.5 million tourists per each 100K of remote income tax optimizers!

Sounds like you are a very smart mathematician who knows how to write a 4th grader math question which isn’t just „sum things up“.

In fact, this question is more than „just sum things up“, as described pretty well by the person above your comment.

I am a scientist. When I see a problem I have never seen before, I start to analyze it using the tools I know. This helps me to learn more about the given problem and supports me finding a „clever“ Solution in the next iteration.
Plenty of countries have this problem. WHO recommends a "sugar tax", to decrease market viability of products that are high in added sugar.

Whether artificial sweeteners are the answer is less clear, given lack of evidence that increased use of artificial sweeteners leads to reduced sugar consumption.

Given that Shamir secret sharing exists, it seems like this should be a problem you can turn around on the user though: instead of just "we'll keep your keys escrowed" it should be "please nominate N trusted friends to recover your keys" with an option (that is highlighted) to let the company be able to do this too.

There's a heck of a lot here which generally feels like a problem where the user isn't ever adequately briefed on what's happening and why, and isn't given reasonable options. People are very familiar with the idea of giving a house key to a friend, but for some reason we don't offer the substantially better options we have in this regard when it comes to encryption.

Gall's law reminds me of Hayek:

The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement, it may seem absurd that in complex conditions order, and adaptation to the unknown, can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions and that a division of authority will actually extend the possibility of overall order. Yet that decentralization actually leads to more information being taken into account. - Friedrich A. Hayek

The film misses most of the arguments of antivax. It just reinforces the preconceptions of vaxxers.

It is quite sad to notice the great divide of society, where two ideologies confront so much that each other has no idea what the other thinks.

Basically in my country, I won’t take the vax because vaxxers have a track record of bluntly lying en masse, even when dozens of thousands deaths are at stake.

Artificial sweeteners in soda (Aspartame and Asesulfame K) make me fart out stuff that smells so bad that it should be banned by the Geneva convention.

Goldtv did not file a response to the statement of claim and went far enough to avoid answering to rights holders that the judge mentioned it in the order. In Canada, if you don’t file a response to a statement of claim, you waive your right to present evidence and the plaintiff’s evidence is evaluated as sworn. The original defendant failed to defend itself and then decided to ignore two straight injunctions.

I’ve heard all sorts of people say that Canadian courts aren’t anything to worry about. They are serious…

-- a privacy to defend as a principle («privacy to defend», what times!),

-- absurdity to keep at bay (interrobangs have a cost - the paragraph above is relevant),

-- security to ensure (information which ends up in weakly protected repositories is basically public),

-- safety to strengthen (sociopolitical systems can make people pay for any minor trait)
