When we are infants, our close social circle enthusiastically encourages us to walk, through every failed attempt, until we walk (and then run) without thinking. As adults I think we generally don't curate a social circle that will give us this enthusiastic encouragement through failure and the burden falls on our self-esteem to summon it from within ourselves.

So two things:

1) For what it's worth, you're not alone. As someone who walks a similar path, I want to give you sincere encouragement to keep going!

2) To the degree that you've already done this, try to build a social circle around you of people who will can relate and enthusiastically encourage you through failure. There may be an international club you could join, a group of CEO friends you can pull together, or maybe you start a Meetup.com group. I don't know what will work for your specific circumstances, but something will.

Best of luck!

Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences 2021
Your reference [0] under "Work Environment" says teachers have 2 months of summer holidays, not 2.5.

$72,830 * 10/12 = $60,691.

I couldn't tell from the data at [0] if that wage included all income for a high school teacher (eg, the teacher works during the summer for a non-school job, and that income is included in the wage), or only the teaching-related income.

The "Teachers’ work patterns: when, where, and how much do U.S. teachers work" from the BLS, at https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/2008/03/art4full.pdf , 45% of teachers work in July, and more likely than similar professionals to have multiple jobs.

Assuming 50% education-related work during summer (instead of 0% work) means the comparable is:

$72,830 * 11/12 = $66,760

which has high-school teachers as 6% underpaid, and the others as 9% underpaid.

Many people have studied this question, resulting in publications with conclusions which are all over the place, especially when looking at think-tank publications and other non-peer-reviewed literature. I have no belief that a simple analysis using the numbers you presented gives a reliable understanding.

From the abstract I see OP's point to directly apply. Simplistic metrics (number of citations for instance) applied to papers push people toward "easy" decisions (reading the "best" papers in priority), and they don't get to discuss the more innovative work.

I see the parallel on people too focused on data and easily measurable properties, missing "riskier" works that would rely on subjective evaluation or less clear selection criteria.

There's nothing invasive about a vaccine. There's many definitions of invasive medical procedure but it has more to do with what level of cutting you open counts. Not a 30 second jab in the arm that leaves no permanent damage. You've probably had a dozen of these "invasive" procedures as a kid and completely forgotten about them.

I don't believe you should have the freedom to spread around an infectious disease that has already crippled the health care system in many provinces and killed thousands of people. Your rights end where others begin. Your free to not give your vaccine status (vaccinated or unvaccinated) as well but you just have to live with the consequences of not attending restaurants and hockey games.

> Obviously, a day will come when the biggest processors (ie Coinbase) will be forced to not accept certain clients / transactions, effectively destroying in practice the possibility of exchanging cryptocurrencies with dollars.

This would only prevent that possibility for the affected clients and only on Coinbase.

By the way Coinbase already has the possibility to blacklist any USDC address it is required to do so by law enforcement. (USDC being a stable coins basically worth 1:1 with USD at this point). And that is because the smart contract governing USDC can have its list of blacklisted addresses updated at any moment.

So in a way the day you're talking about is already there.

Norm has said publicly in a radio interview that he thought that talking about cancer in a stand up act was the height of narcissism.

In regards to Norm's age, Norm incorrectly listing his/others' ages has been a recurring bit over the past three decades in many, many appearances in both his standup sets as well as television appearances. It's a meta joke poking fun at the idea that the specific age even matters.

You can't just buy land and build wind turbines and solar panels.

You can't even put solar panels on the roof of an apartment building and then sell the power to the tenants, regulation prevents it.

It’s never really going to be perfect e.g. your idea doesn’t really work with unsafe functions, which can only be called from unsafe contexts but also are an unsafe context.

`unsafe` in rust really means that some of the compiler guardrails are disabled:

* you can call unsafe (and extern) functions

* you can dereference raw pointers (this has significant consequences such as being able to create mutable references out of thin air)

* you can access or modify mutable statics

* you can access `union` contents

> My experience is that you hardly ever need unsafe Rust code.

I doubt that experience applies equally to kernel development.
Reading through the descriptions of the fast and sophisticated memory synchronization techniques in Linux that Rust cannot express in safe code, I have to wonder how many optimization opportunities would have gone undiscovered, forever, if the kernel had been written in Rust from the start.

Language shapes how we think about the world. Ideas that are hard to describe in the language of the mind are hard to imagine in the first place. What potential avenues for improvement might we lose by shifting computing to safe but constricting languages like Rust?

High electricity prices also eliminate the cost of (some) subsidy schemes for sustainable energy. Which almost can't help but encourage more such schemes.

The UK's CfDs (Contracts for Difference) pay schemes like wind farms a fixed price for their output, allowing projects to go out to market saying look based on our plans we're going to make so-and-so-many MWh of electricity, the UK promises to pay so-and-so-much £££ for that electricity, therefore lend us (much less) £££ to build it and we'll pay you a nice return. This means investors only need to care about whether your wind farm proposal actually makes electricity, not guess what the price of that electricity will be when it's sold.

Normally these schemes cost the government money. Say electricity is selling for £50 per MWh, and your wind farm's CfD specifies £80 per MWh, the government hands over £30 per MWh extra to make up the difference.

But, when prices sky rocket the government actually gets paid the difference. When electricity sells for £200 per MWh and your wind farm's CfD said £80 per MWh, you only get £80 per MWh as promised, the other £120 per MWh goes into the general fund to buy missiles or feed orphans or whatever.

> Given that DEC Alpha famously had difficulty with RCU, it is only reasonable to ask how Rust will do with it.

I recommend starting with the latests post in the series and the conclusions(https://paulmck.livejournal.com/64209.html and https://paulmck.livejournal.com/65056.html).

From the snippets at the beginning, it looks like the author documented how they started learning about how to solve these problems in Rust, and it does not take too long until the comment section starts pointing the author at crossbeam-rs, GhostCell, etc. which only start appearing in the series in the last couple of sections.

Learning Rust by implementing a linked-list is pretty hard, but "Learning Rust by implementing RCU" has to be, by far, the hardest way to learn Rust that I know of. Kudos to the author for pushing through this so quickly and thoroguly. The posts are all excellent.

I wish the author would go a little bit more into crossbeam-rs. One thing the author does not consider, is that a safe Rust interface to RCU is essentially a "proof of correctness" for RCU, i.e., it proves that using RCU via that interface cannot introduce undefined behavior. (Or maybe more technically, the contracts on the correctness of unsafe code within the safe wrapper provide a potentially incorrect "proof" of this).

AFAIK no such correctness proof for the C APIs exists (there are a couple of linters that catch some issues, but there is no proof that say that if you stick by those warnings your code is UB free).

The author seems to be assuming that the C APIs to RCU have been proved correct, which AFAIK is incorrect, and by ignoring the safe Rust APIs to RCU, the author is missing out on potentially finding issues on the correctness of the C APIs that Rust would discover.

Basically, the question: "Can we expose Linux RCU apis to Rust?" is definetly worth asking, but the question "Can Rust prove Linux RCU APIs correct?" is much more interesting. If it can't, then why not? The fact that we have such proofs for other RCU and hazard pointers APIs in Rust shows that this is at least possible in general. And if Linux RCU can't be exposed in safe Rust, precisely understanding why would definitely be illuminating (Can Linux RCU be proven correct outside Rust, but not in Rust? Or maybe does Linux RCU APIs can actually be proven incorrect by Rust?).
And in case of exceptions, why would that be useful?

> Sophie Schmieg is a high-level cryptography/security Googler, and Knows What She’s Talking About. She refers to the Carrington Event, a major solar storm (“Coronal Mass Ejection” they say) that happened in 1859, and severely disrupted the world’s telegraph system for about eight hours. This is an example of a Solar proton event. If/when one happens, it’s going to seriously suck for astronouts and for anyone who who depends on aerial radio-frequency communications.

TL;DR: the data center itself is probably quite safe from whatever the author meant here.

This is not entirely correct. The author confuses different things (and misspells the word "astronaut").

* An solar energetic particle event (SEP) is what's the most dangerous thing for astronauts, in part because there's going to be very little advance warning, but also because these high-energy particles can penetrate the inadequate shielding of a spacecraft and fry electronics (physically disrupting microchips) or damage biological tissues. But that's a non-issue for the rest of us: ground-level enhancements due to SEP events are rare.

* Carrington event's main source was a (probably double) coronal mass ejection, or a CME. This is a different phenomenon from an SEP. You can think of it this way: a CME is like a dam breaking down and you getting flooded by huge amounts of relatively slowly moving water masses, while an SEP is like getting shot at by a water cannon accelerating a relatively tiny stream to supersonic speeds. But the thing is that the particles in the CME again do not penetrate the magnetosphere and reach the atmosphere directly. Rather, the increased pressure of the solar wind causes changes in the magnetosphere's shape, which (a) "squeezes" field lines to lower latitudes, (b) causes something called "reconnection" in the magnetosphere tail, essentially slinging particles coasting along on the magnetic field lines in the tail back to the Earth (and causing auroras as they slam in the atmosphere), and (c) strengthens the ring current, which causes depression in the magnetic field, and this (changing magnetic field) in turn induces substantial currents in extended conductors such as telegraph lines or metal pipelines. But I imagine that this is going to be harmless to electronics, the main vulnerability is actually power lines feeding the data centers: volatility of magnetic field during even the biggest storms is on the order of several hundred nanoTeslas.

I don't think we need as many kernel drivers as we have. Many of those drivers should never have been in the kernel in the first place. Userspace would have been adequate.

If something can be done from userspace, it should be done from userspace.

Legacy Linux drivers could be sandboxed in user space inside a fake Linux kernel environment, a bit like how captive NDIS used to provide a fake NT kernel for network drivers run under Linux.

What a meandering read.
It's just many things piling up. transit.yahoo.co.jp for long and short distance public transport, maps.yahoo.co.jp instead of US map services, tabelog.com for restaurant reviews, navitime for car navigation etc. Note that the desired functionality is often available only in Japanese. If the sites have international/English versions, often you get a lite version at best and a dummy version without much content in the worst case. You can observe that for example already when you research the Narita Express rail service; the JR pages in English always have less detail and info than the JP ones. A good thing about Japan's online services is that a lot of them are not "apps" they're web sites and the apps just containers for the web sites, on Android more often than not anyway, as Japan is iPhone country. So you get the same services from your desktop as on your smartphones, and many service websites still have proper, fully featured mobile web versions, as opposed to many Western online services making their mobile web versions increasingly unusable, pushing apps, like .e.g. reddit. Also JP web is much more pleasant than Anglo web in my opinion; they have stuck with a combination of "tables tables everywhere", hypertext links, and dead-simple HTML markup plus colorful icons/ads/banners in plain image formats from the late 2000s which is very easy to read, e.g. https://www.jreast.co.jp/ltd_exp/guide/#price_area2 Easy to read, easy to use.
Our next door neighbour (in a semi-rural area in Kent in the UK) is raising two pigs right now. They have an enclosure 10m x 10m, and they only poop in one corner. They have done a great job of turning the earth over though.

Pilots in the US are an extremely conservative bunch. On my pilot group's FB page, the number of times I've read "Let's go Brandon!" in response to this supposed sickout are numerous. Every trip I hear the far-right Breitbart, Newsmax media narrative, and links from similar pseudo news blog sites are posted all the time. It's impossible to fly to SFO or LAX without a comment on homelessness, taxes, liberals, etc. Once, when I happened to be alone on my way to the hotel, a van driver in Trinidad asked my why the pilots are always talking about guns. Many US airline pilots are full-on anti-vax and claim that they'll be fired before being forced to get the vaccine.
Too many of those shoes look like they have a munged Nike logo which means that any company trying to ship them would soon be receiving a kindly call from the Nike megacorp lawyers.

It should not be so much whether it is legal or illegal in the strict sense. The question is whether bank has sufficient evidence to suspect that illegal activity is taking place.

So bank should be held liable if they:

- do not collect evidence

- do not act on evidence

- if they act without evidence

The bank should face appropriate penalties for making misjudgments in both directions. For example, you should have a right to sue bank for refusing to provide a service. The court could judge whether bank had sufficient grounds to refuse to conduct the business with you.

The bank should also provide the evidence to law enforcement to trigger investigation into alleged illegal misconduct. If the judicial systems clears you, then again, you should be able to compel bank to provide the basic financial services.

There is regulation like that for individuals in EU. Banks are obliged by the law to provide basic financial services (bank account and identification services if I recall correctly) to EU residents as part of the European Single Market.
No no no, I'm not for creating democracy, just for enabling it for those who are ready and willing. Houthis are Iranian proxies which need to be dealt with militarily before they create an environmental disaster (this tanker or bombing Aramco facilities in Saudi Arabia or attacking passing tankers will do that).

We've used databricks in my previous company (Skyscanner). The product worked well and in general better than having our own cluster. Our dev enablement team have build tooling around creating new DAGs and spinning up a new project was relatively easy.
