No surprise you are getting downvoted. Nobody wants to hear anything about personal responsibility these days. The second you highlight that someone’s life position might be due to in part to some of their own decisions, you get downvoted. Today, everyone is seen as infallible by nature and surely their current lot in life is entirely unfair and based on some history of prejudice/luck/system failure.

It’s a completely toxic mindset, but one that has taken hold culturally and only time will illuminate how detrimental it is. Belief that ones circumstances are entirely outside of their control (even if mostly true) is a surefire way to kill the determination and motivation of even the most driven individual.

> First of all, one consequence of federal minimum wage hikes can be job or hours loss for low‐ wage workers, as we’ve seen, which can create poverty. Second, a lot of people who earn the federal minimum wage or just above it are not poor, or will not be poor in the longer term (think of working students, or second‐ earners in relatively affluent households working part‐ time).

EDIT: Before you reply with what I know you will, the reason the first and second argument above are lumped together are because the are both essentially myths (for example, see the original article), and the Cato Institute cites no actual data that either are, generally speaking, true.
I seek out smaller, focused shops for this experience. Any kind of chain/big box store will be lacking vs. a niche retailer where the staff is invested in the business ( high end camera equipment, for instance ). Although sometimes that experience can also be pedantic and condescending to a novice.
This. I have a friend with 1Gbps up/down at his house. I've been waiting for fiber for like 10 years but it's never been available at any place I've lived. This is despite the fact that we live in the same (relatively small) county. This situation could only be possible if they just didn't care about making fiber available to everyone.

RELAX NG was a combination of Makoto Murata's work on RELAX, an acronym for "REgular LAnguage description for Xml", and James Clark's work on "TREX", an acronym for "Tree Regular EXpressions".

They could have pulled a slick smooth move and called it "TREX-LAX", for "Tree Regular EXpressions for LAnguages of Xml", which rolls off the tongue more mellifluously!

TREX-LAX: It makes your XML nice and regular, and keeps you shit moving smoothly.

Native advertising has been a thing for awhile, and while this is perhaps a specious assumption, I'm guessing there's a reason that it's not more prevalent than it is.

This isn't meant to just be some empty counter, as I totally agree with what you're saying, and I think uBlock's existence is only because the situation kept escalating to the point that we were gifted with complete control over the browser (until Apple and Google took it away...least we still have Firefox for now).

My point here is that we've already been through a few arms races with advertisers, and it will continue to be adjusted moving forward. A lot of research has gone into effectiveness of advertising and the best returns on investment for different advertising methods with the current modern web, and despite native advertising being a thing, we still see a huge industry dedicated to the spam-ad model. Youtubers seem to most have moved to Patreon/sponsored videos, but Youtube has metrics for advertisers to note if someone watched the seconds with the advertisement or not as I understand it†, so even this form of native advertising seems to not be so popular with advertisers.

In your face pop-ups, attention grabbing videos/banners, and polluted search results seem to be the ones that businesses flock to and that ad agencies sell the best; I seem to recall some article on Facebook ads that the return on investment was pretty bad in most cases.

But for all the above, I'm not sure it matters for the end user as there's still only one route to the end user, and it's the browser or apps, and at least on the desktop, there are still browsers you can use to control your online browsing, and if they stop serving their purpose, they can be forked.

edit: forgot my footnote.

† I'm not an expert on this but the youtuber's I do watch usually half-joke about whether or not people skip the ad sections of the vid, so I'm making a guess there's some ability to track this.

I tried up to the maximum a few times. The code is single threaded. It is indeed also memory bandwidth bottlenecked. Which I think might be the main issue with it in lambda.

My guess based on my tests is that memory access and cpu are the limiting factors in lambda for this but that because it encourages scale out less of an issue.

I think I'm expressing myself incorrectly.

Scrum "by the book" has a lot of material on the edge cases. How you handle almost every case that can happen in a software development team. So you can follow it like a workflow. Something unusual happens, you look in the book, do what it says. It's flaws are fairly well documented and understood, too. That's what I mean by being "on your own" if you don't follow it. At that point you can't just use a book to figure out next steps. You have to actually talk it out and use your brain to figure out what to do, because its unlikely your internal process has as much documentation around every single "paved paths".

It's also just a process. What does it mean not to find success here? If you ship broken software, it's unlikely to be because you didn't move the right ticket in Jira.

If you implemented Scrum "by the book", the likely "failure cases" are more things like people refusing to actually follow the process because they find it to be a waste of time, the overhead is too high, people are sick of looking at the book, etc.

Don't get me wrong: I very much dislike Scrum and you'll never see me push for it in a team. My point was merely that if you take an "On rails" experience like Scrum, and tweak a few little things, you lose on almost everything. The books no longer apply. When the entire point of this particular process is basically the books and documentations, doing "Scrum but not quite" really kills the point.

And added a few more nodes since the T1 he had delivered to his house gave him room his legacy analog infrastructure just couldn't support.

What policies which would make owning a single family rental less attractive than owner occupied? Non-owner occupied property tax? We already have mortgage interest deduction, but many of these houses are purchased in cash, and when interest rates are down at 2-3%, that’s not a significant enough difference. An asymmetry of prices for owners versus landlords must be possible. Why don’t we see these policies in practice?

I alternate - but discovered my perception of productive days can be skewed. I came from physical, real world jobs like construction. When my day was done, I had something tangible for my efforts (fence, concrete, brick wall, etc.)

When I started in computer work, some days I felt super productive, but others I didn't. On many of the days, I didn't feel productive. I was still brain dead from the work on these 'less productive' days.

Back in those days, I printed a lot of stuff. I discovered that I felt more productive on the days I printed more things, because printed pages are tangible items. On the days I felt less productive, I was still doing a ton of work, but the lack of tangible evidence skewed my perception.

The alignment in the comment above doesn't work with tabs: your initial line is going to be tab-indented, which means if you want those next lines to align with it you don't have any options for it to work.

> but doesn't answer this question

The author doesn't have to answer that question to dispute Deutsch's alleged answer.

Secondly, Deutsch's challenge of explaining Shor's algorithm presupposes that quantum computation requires an explanation in terms of classical computation. While I'm sympathetic to that view, this assumption is easily rejected by people who don't view reality as fundamentally classical or local. So for these people, there is no challenge to meet.

Thirdly, while you can speculate that Shor's algorithm will scale to factoring numbers so large they require more atoms than are in the universe, no one has demonstrated that this is the case. Just because our current models describe this happening, that doesn't mean the model corresponds to what will actually happen in reality. It could easily be the case that the model is not accounting for noise or other factors that will prevent entanglement from scaling to the levels you describe. This is the position of some determinists, in which case Deutsch's challenge is also neutered.

Finally, other interpretations of QM can also provide explanations for speedups. For instance, any interpretation of QM that accepts its non-locality has an escape hatch via relativity: non-locality is effectively time travel in GR, but in a form that cannot be exploited for superluminal signalling. There are many other possible answers given by other interpretations of QM.

I personally think it's an interesting question, but it's not a compelling argument for many worlds, not least because the "many worlds as parallel computations" doesn't actually work beyond trivial examples.

> Computation is real - it requires matter and energy.

Yes, classical bits require a certain amount of matter and energy, but qubits do not have the same matter and energy requirements, which seems to be what you're expecting. If you expect there to be an answer of this sort, then I think you must give up believing that quantum computation will scale. Basically, you are expecting reality to actually be classical, and so have some deterministic classical computation happening behind the scenes (hidden variables), and these hidden variables will more than likely disrupt scaling quantum computations.
The problem with this idea is that it was cheap energy that gave rise to the middle class during the industrial revolution. Energy acts as a force multiplier on human labor. Without it, you need many more humans to accomplish tasks like farming and construction. And many things just become physically insurmountable. We just wouldn’t have professions like software engineering or even yoga teachers (the way they exist today) without cheap abundant energy.

Remember that it was cheap energy that allowed people to migrate and settle in the city of their choice and thus free themselves from the landowning class.

With housing costs the way they are in certain cities, this is still relevant today.

The solution isn’t to make energy more expensive, but to make things more efficient, and to change where we get our energy from.
Indeed.

Those sentences should be like this:
"When Shor’s algorithm has factorized a number, using 10^500 or so times the computational resources than can be seen to be present, where was the number factorized? There are only about 10^80 atoms in the entire visible universe, an utterly minuscule number compared with 10^500."
This leaves out the Chinese counting sticks in boxes story...was that apocryphal? The idea was, they drew an empty box (a square or later a circle) to indicate 'no sticks in that box'.

I don’t see anything new here. Musk hates clickbait and doesn’t trust the media. Remember the Top Gear fiasco with the original roadster? He has not forgotten this. He even initially wanted to allow biographer Vance to write a book about him only on condition that he would be allowed to review the draft before publication. You may see this as proof of how controlling Musk is. Then again, you’ve probably never had anyone write articles about you that 1) purposely mischarachterize you and your work and 2) do not give you a chance to explain your point of view. In the old days, a company would have been able to keep the spread of untruths at bay by the use of lawyers. But if you tried that path today, you’d be bleeding yourself to death. This is an arms race. And Tesla plays the hand it’s got. I don’t see what is wrong with that.
I'm definitely not a protected class (I'm a tall white dude), and I am not being 100% fair; they weren't screaming at me or anything, just an elevated voice and very angry words. I don't believe they said any curse words, and even if they did I was somewhat sympathetic to why they would be upset with me (even though I do stand by the content of what I said).

The latter premise is false, as there is still some impedance to exhalation - air is not allowed through completely freely. That is not to say the impedance is great, but it must still be acknowledged that it exists and has an effect on the air breathed, however negligible. The matter, then, is one of 'to what degree', more than 'does or doesn't'.

You're not wrong. Communism implemented perfectly would also work beautifully. It just can't.

The main difference here is that Scrum is not nearly as complicated to implement. Though the issue is the same. There's always someone somewhere who thinks the process doesn't apply to them and the whole thing falls apart.

I did work in one company that had a fairly well implemented Scrum, and it did work pretty well. I've never seen it replicated though, so for all practical purpose, it's exactly as you say: it's not worth trying because it only works when done perfectly, and that almost never happen.

IME, its still consistently far and away better than the alternatives.
