The C99 and C11 standards say that the behavior is unspecified (in standard-ese, "unspecified" and "undefined" are different), meaning that the standard doesn't say what you get. Of course that's true: the result is different on a big-endian and a little-endian machine. Packing the bytes of a double might generate a signalling NaN so you get a trap when you read it, or not, and the standards don't require that floating point representations match the IEEE standard, either.

You literally directly contradict yourself. You link to two pages that have absolutely nothing to do with getting formerly incarcerated people into law/medicine, then immediately concede that there isn’t an effort to do so because they’re not welcome in those fields.

Your failure to keep two paragraphs of texts consistent and coherent badly undermines your overall point. It’s pretty clear tech as a whole is a lot less elitist than law/medicine.

People are “elitist” because there is non stop pressure to drive down wages of engineers and it’s often disguised as progressivism. It can also undermine the professional and political power of engineers if the field is constantly portrayed as easy for anyone to enter. The AMA knows this better than anyone as they’ve tightly restricted the number of new doctors for decades, so it’s highly ironic you’d even link to them at all.

Ridiculous implication that Naval Special Warfare is somehow “intellectually weak” when there are multiple Trident wearers who have qualified as astronauts or went on to Ivy League schools.
Think you meant unsprung weight, yeah? The Pinion system seems to move a lot of complexity to the bottom bracket, which is generally on the unsprung part of the bike, the same as you would move weight away from the wheels on a car so they can stay attached to the road more of the time.
again, front end automation tools are commonly banned, along with the developers. the ban was surely because how the tool was interacting with their website, not that the tool was trying to help people unfollow pages or friends.
As someone that currently lives in Zurich but has no experience with Seoul, I find a lot of these metrics prioritize certain things which skew their results for many people with other lifestyles.

For instance, I was paying 2-3 times as much in living expenses in SF compared to here in Zurich, almost entirely because of rental costs. Apartments here are relatively cheap, and one can survive somewhat frugally by avoiding service-based spending such as dining in restaurants, taxis, etc.
Whats the question? Sorry I'm not entirely sure.

Searching for things is difficult but you need to keep in mind that your are doing it wrong, every time... You are missing something, you are searching for too much, you are phrasing the wrong way, etc.

In my case, if I was looking for 'do people have carnivore teeth'

(1) I would search Google first. Use advanced search: inurl, intitle, site

(2) Search Google Scholar.

(3) Search Sci-Hub

(4) Change my search: '[v] carnivore teeth' (v = 'human, person, homo sapiens') - for each v repeat 1, 2, 3

(5) Track the useful leads.

And basically loop until you get what you want...

Depending on the scope and context of the search you might want to add Shodan or other specialized search engines.

> At a minimum, it seems like a good way to run a cheap and quick way to try to validate an idea before dumping more time and money into it. If it seems like there is something there, then a longer and more expensive study is easier to justify. And when that study does happen, you'll already have data on what people expect to happen which is nice.

That seems quite reasonable.

But lots of popular press coverage on "look what the scientists figured out" based on your initial validation justifying a longer and more expensive study... maybe less so.

Like, if this really is understood as that... should pop press be covering it at all? This article definitely is written with teh tone "look what the scientists have learned about humans" not "they got enough validation to do more research", right? Hard to say what the researchers themselves think about the strength of what they found out, if they have your reasonableness about it.

But the researchers are clearly happy to give interviews and be quoted; I mean, it's a lot to expect a researcher to give up good press, sure.

> And because methods are included in publications, from a scientific standpoint there's nothing wrong with publishing it. Other researchers will read the paper and clearly see what was tested and be able to assign an appropriate amount of significance.

the drones are doing 3D from stereo. My understanding those autonomous cars we see around SV don't do it (except for some Ford sedans - probably Ford venture - who have what looks like stereo for the front view). Google and some others build 3D from lidar - it is almost as good as stereo though much less resolution. The low lidar resolution is close to being good enough for the street driving while it wouldn't work for the forest at meaningful speeds (even if somebody managed to place a lidar on drone)

An economist steps over a $20 bill asserting it must be fake; someone else would have picked it up if it were real.

They reduce the likelihood of catching it, and reduce the likelihood of transmission when you get it.

A herd immunity situation still involves individuals catching and spreading a disease, but the R value is below 1, so it fizzles out quickly.

Have a node in the graph reduce both incoming and outgoing probability of transmission reducea the R value.

The argument you can make is that covid's R value is so high that it doesn't matter how many people get vaccinated or catch covid, it will continue spreading, but "full protection" is irrelevant

That, and/or change your wallpaper relatively frequently.

There seem to be apps that can automate changing your wallpaper, including an official Google one.
For the most blatant example, if it was possible to sideload software, people would be convinced to install software that deliberately does back things or unintentionally causes system-wide problems. There would be crap all over the Internet about how to get free stuff in Fortnite, or read your spouse's messages, or record phone calls, or clean malware off your phone, etc. No matter how many warnings there are in the UI or how clear Apple is that it's your fault if you do this, people will do it. Some of the software might even work! But some of it will be blatant malware, or violate privacy even worse than current popular apps, or make the whole system unstable, or drain battery life. Even for relatively savvy people who are aware of the danger, suddenly you need to become an expert on how to protect yourself and spot malware or scams (this is already advisable to some extent with the App Store, but it would surely become much more crucial). It's worse for less savvy people who aren't aware of the danger, as I'm sure is the case with many current iPhone users.
Why would that bother you? If they can do the job then why not? Lawyers, doctors and accountants have deep certification moats protecting them, perhaps appropriately, but software development is still relatively free from credentialism.
Why kidney failure led me to found an Health Tech Startup
Not everyone gets a second chance at life.

For me it came when I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), put on dialysis and told that I’d need to wait three to five years for a new kidney. Depressed at the thought of five year wait, thrice weekly dialysis and the likelihood that I might die, I’d revised my will, walked into my local coffee and asked in an embarrassingly loud voice if anyone had a spare kidney. Fortunately, Lucy the manager volunteered and praise be, we were a kidney compatible match. My ordeal was over in less than two years and I’d gotten my second chance.

That’s when I’d started to learn about the humongous cost of CKD patient support. About 20% of the US Medicare budget of $776 Bln is used in supporting patients with kidney disease. A similar percentage is taken by the UK’s NHS. The reason’s straightforward: once diagnosed, CKD is for the rest of a patient’s life. For us post-transplanters a lifetime of support, mostly quarterly physician meetings and twice daily meds, is still required and that’s a lot of time for both patients and physicians.

What if we could reduce at least some of that cost by putting most of that post transplant support into an App that patients can use daily and physicians can remotely monitor? That’s how Health-AI and TrackMyTac, our first App, came into being after I’d spent too many months on the interminable treadmill of blood works, followed by physician meetings and more meds. In my ideal world, that App would coach me into taking my meds on-time twice a day and also reassure me and my physician that my med levels at my next bloods would be on-track. Most important of all: if this would be possible with one App, then that App should be available globally because kidney failure is a global challenge and needs a global solution.

By early 2020, we had a demonstrable version of TrackMyTac and I showed it around. There was interest, but by far the most common comment was: interesting, come and see us in 3- 5 year’s time and change it now, cos docs won’t like self-monitoring.
Then Covid-19 blew-in like a baltic blizzard.
Rather than down keyboards and wait out the pandemic we pushed-on and developed an additional entry level App along with a totally automated one with voice control. Then, almost overnight, Doctors worldwide began to search for ways to manage and monitor patients remotely and that 3 - 5 years dissolved into 3 - 5 months.

We’re almost two years old now and we have product, users and a developing, worldwide, market. Now, we’re looking to our next funding round.
None of this would have happened if I hadn’t suffered that personal crisis, Lucy hadn’t agreed to help and remote patient monitoring hadn’t become a pressing global reality.

With serendipity like that, how could I not have founded an Heath Tech start-up?

I'm no expert, but my guess is that the sub runs nearly completely blind, most of the time (charts are very important).

This is because they need to stay undetected, and rely completely on passive sensors; which can be dicey.
Surely you can provide a source for that (where exactly this was said)? As far as I have seen they dont show anything demonstrating this. And this tin foil hat theory about tether pumping btc has been debunked repeatedly.
Skip lists are typically implemented with a short array of pointers at each node. When traversing a skip list in a loop the previous node is in a local variable. If you do it recursively the previous node is on the stack. "Retracing" is simply a matter of retrieving the previous node and adding 1 to the pointer array index.
Have you received training as an enlisted person? Because PPTs are but one - of numerous - ways, to include drills, exercises, and other physical doing.
Right, but few materials meet all of those qualities. Platinum is arguably the closest competitor.
And most drugs are not needed so urgently or are simply not available (a vaccine against HIV for example or effective cancer treatment).
> Maybe for some fields, but certainly all the fields that actually require a lab to work in still benefit from the physical space a university provides.

Sure. But it doesn't have to be black and white. A degree costs the.same currently regardless of whether you are in a. Lab-heaby major or one where you mainly sit in a 200+ lecture hall passively listening. Either way you rack up tens lt hundreds of thousands of debt. Wouldn't it be at least nice to have am option to learn the same material in an acredited way while taking advantage of modern technology to drive costs majorly down.

Then for majors with labs etc maybe you do show up somewhere to work on it. You maybe even pay more for lab access since the cost of providing one is higher. I bet you still come out way ahead compared to today.

Bottom line if someone wants the classic education experience, sure. But that financial commitment shouldn't be everyone's default
Oh I see. Well in that case I think you're probably referring to the study of twin grown appart, for which in a large number of cases both twins turned out to have ended up doing very similar work?

I think it's a big leap to assume that the genes that are similar between twins and which are responsible for such similar outcomes would also be similar between individuals of the same skin color.

For example, even once the study looked into non-identical twin, the similarities in outcomes drastically started to drop.

I'm not denying the possibility, when you still don't have a sure explanation lots of things are still a possibility. But I think you're jumping ahead with your conclusion a little too hastily, and in my opinion, I still think the data is surprising and that we don't really know why this difference in distribution really exists.

Furthermore, I'll add that modern genetic research is really putting in question our traditional categorization of "race".

> In one example that demonstrated genetic differences were not fixed along racial lines, the full genomes of James Watson and Craig Venter, two famous American scientists of European ancestry, were compared to that of a Korean scientist, Seong-Jin Kim. It turned out that Watson (who, ironically, became ostracized in the scientific community after making racist remarks) and Venter shared fewer variations in their genetic sequences than they each shared with Kim.

-- https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/race-is-a-social-...

What modern availability of large scale genetic data tells us, is that what we call "black", "white" and "asian" actually have very little genetic variance and uniqueness, and that it's actually possible some white people are closer genetically to some black people than they'd be to other white people.

Which would mean that if you grouped by traditional notion of race, like skin color, you might not be grouping by genetic similarities at all. That would reinforce the possibility then that the difference in the distribution is not genetic, but possibly socio-cultural.
Doesn’t matter that much whether it’s “100% backed” or whatever. The time it takes to (1) send USDC to Coinbase, (2) convert that USDC to USD, and (3) withdraw the USD to a bank account is short enough (less than a day by wire transfer) that the counterparty risk is pretty darn minimal.
oh goodness, there's a lot to unpack here.

>You literally directly contradict yourself. You link to two pages that have absolutely nothing to do with getting formerly incarcerated people into law/medicine, then immediately concede that there isn’t an effort to do so because they’re not welcome in those fields.

I linked to the two respective institutions that lobby for physicians and lawyers respectively. They cannot be compared to some crappy random website for ex-felons going to tech. If that's what you're looking for I can find those for you, too.

Furthermore, it's disadvantaged or incarcerated. Or do you believe that people with disabilities (as referred to by both organizations explicitly) are not disadvantaged?

> People are “elitist” because there is non stop pressure to drive down wages of engineers and it’s often disguised as progressivism. It can also undermine the professional and political power of engineers if the field is constantly portrayed as easy for anyone to enter. The AMA knows this better than anyone as they’ve tightly restricted the number of new doctors for decades, so it’s highly ironic you’d even link to them at all.

there's a lot of problems with the AMA and medicine in general but it's a profession that inherently needs to be credentialed, as is law, due to the fact that failure to perform leads to more severe consequences as compared to tech.

finally you cannot compare doctors specifically to all of tech. if you're talking about health in general there has been a huge push to get more nurse practitioners and physicians assistants in the field to replace many of the doctors that PCPs have.
Try framing them as charcuterie boards instead of cutting boards - betcha they get some use that way.

I like this perspective. I think it applies well to many things we collect.

I've been collecting fountain pens for more than a decade now and I've observed that new collectors end up buying their "trophy" pen only to have it remain uninked and kept in a drawer someplace. It's only a few more years later, when another "trophy" is inevitably collected, that both pens see use.

"Japanese" is definitely a noun, so it's not grammatically incorrect to say "I am a japanese", but it does sound weird. This is probably related to idiomaticness. In the US, usage of words like "an american", "a canadian" and "a mexican" as nouns generally "sound" ok, as far as popular speech goes, whereas "a british", "a french" and "a spanish", for example, sound strange despite being grammatically correct ("A german" and "a korean" sound a bit weird too, FWIW). As far as I can tell, countrymanship nouns are mostly used with definite articles (e.g. "The japanese participated in WWII"). In other contexts, the rules are mostly based on idiom popularity, if not completely arbitrary. "New yorker" sounds perfectly fine as a noun, but "a san franciscan" is something not many people would ever utter, even in adjective form.

Similar discrepancies can be seen in other noun groups, for example "a beer" is fine, "the wine" is fine, but "a wine" sounds weird.

For the cases where usage of the word as a noun isn't considered idiomatic, people usually say "a korean person" or "a german guy" or "british woman", etc.

In my Passat it just barely taps the brakes rapidly to get your attention, I've never had it go further then that but in theory it will lock them up if you don't respond. If it detects someone in the lane you are about to merge into, it cuts off the power steering for a millisecond, just long enough for you to notice the car in your blind spot but not long enough to prevent you from going into the lane if you really want to. It's pretty close to perfect in my opinion.

> Invariably people get fired, and whatever happens becomes a lesson learned that the Navy trains on in the future.

In the debates surrounding some of the most recent incidents (see, e.g., https://www.propublica.org/series/navy-accidents-pacific-7th...) I remember reading claims to the effect that submarine captains are the last ones in the Navy who actually know how to pilot a boat. I know that claim is hyperbolic rhetoric but those Pro Publica pieces really make me think it's not far from the truth, and that while submariner training may still be exceptionally rigorous and responsive to newly identified risks, that's not necessarily true in the case of surface ships.
We don't live in the society you describe. If it is fair to force people to take vaccines so that they wont spread the virus then it damn sure is fair to redistribute all the billionaires wealth to poor people. Because doing so would save many more lives than any vaccines ever could. We let the billionaires have their money, despite the cost to society so we must let people decide over their own bodies, despite the cost to society.
