There was a project to try this:

Unfortunatly this project was cancelled since Germany taxes electricity from batteries two times: Once when charging the battery and once when discharging it (since it is then seen as "producing" electricity).
Correct. Which is why I said "languished", in comparison to what immediately followed with the Age of Enlightment, and what came before it, in Greece and the early Roman empire.

It also is a bit of a misnomer to blame it all on religion, it was mostly just an assload of war.
> It weirds me out that this is a considered a controversial opinion instead of common sense.

A lot of people think it is "common sense" that raising the minimum wage will decrease employment because of higher labour costs, but that link is… tenuous… at best:

> In pioneering work from the early 1990s, David Card analysed some central questions in labour economics – such as the effects of a minimum wage, immigration and education – using this approach. The results of these studies challenged conventional wisdom and led to new research, to which Card has continued to make important contributions. Overall, we now have a considerably better understanding of how the labour market operates than we did 30 years ago.

That's not accurate. By the 1960s and 70s, the scientific consensus [1] not only strongly believed smoking was a causal factor in lung cancer but also knew it contained radioactive isotopes of Polonium (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2509609/) and lead.

Yes, it would be censorship. Doing comedy specials is his career. Just because he's successful doesn't change the basic facts.

> Is it really censorship to ask one of the most valuable companies in the world not to give enormous sums of money to one of the richest comedians in the world specifically for content that is transphobic?

That's not what happened, but ok. You believe what you like.
No, you want to know if the command spewing out text is going to be done in about 5 seconds (I'll wait), 5 minutes (time for coffee or whatever) or 5 hours...

They also are there to indicate progress if no other visuals are present (no, it hasn't crashed yet).

Progress bars solve that given some uncertainty in most cases. And that is very much appreciated. Everyone knows or learns that they aren't perfect, and that is fine.
Just out of curiosity, have you actually watched the special in question?
I dont see much of your bullet-item beliefs from billionaires like:

A few of them support IP protections, at least at current levels supporting their sources-of-wealth, but not your other examples. (And whether they support IP any more than the average voter, or union-member, is unclear.)

Maybe partisanship "from where [you're] standing" is blinding you to the social & political programs of many billionaires?

how will these two wacky characters play off each other I wonder!

I have not been to space, but imagining the blank, clean matter-of-factness of it, the sterility of it, the emptiness of it, and understanding that is what the incomprehensible vastness of the universe "is" except for the rounding error of matter, is a strange and scary thought.

I have talked to someone who has travelled to the ISS before and they mentioned the most strange part of it was seeing the ISS in pure sunlight, as if it were just an object sitting under stage lighting in complete, context-less darkness.

I'd imagine it's surreal to be present in the visual and auditory silence of space, knowing the dead nothingness hides the extreme danger of what would come if one were simply put into it.
Either I, too, faked my way into being a 10x rockstar, or expectations always grow faster than compensation.
Good code should have some comments. Not for the "what" but for the "why".
> Legos sounds like the parent that says his child is playing on the Nintendos.

"Nintendos" sounds weird to me because for me a "Nintendo" is a console, and I rarely use more than one of those at the same time.

When you say "Legos" on the other hand I interpret it as an abbreviation of something like Lego bricks.

> It is like saying you watch animes instead of anime. Plural is still anime.

"Animes" on the other hand sounds perfectly fine. We don't conjugate borrowed verbs in a different way either just because the source language has different rules for conjugation; the English borrowing of irregular plural forms is a special case which doesn't work with anime too well since an irregular plural form does not actually exist (as with most Japanese nouns). Not to mention the word is an abbreviation of "animation", another English word with a perfectly normal plural form.

The definition of Monday as the first day of the week is strictly for the sake of week numbering over the course of the year and does not indicate that a calendar which displays weeks starting with Sunday violates the ISO standard.
Shatner being so awestruck reminded me of two fictional space voyages. The first being Major Tom in the Bowie song "Space Oddity"... the second being, in Wings of Honneamise, the main character and first spacefaring human of his world, sitting silently in his orbiter, calling out on his radio unsure if anyone is listening, and offering a prayer to a deity he doesn't really believe exists, because of how small he perceived himself and his planet's politics to be, compared to the sheer terrible absoluteness of all that is "out there". I guess these were inspired by astronaut reactions after their first voyages back in the day.

Space just... does things to people. Puts things in perspective, I guess?

You are right. Live video is less clumsy. The caption still breaks it, but that is not reporter's fault.

So now the question becomes whether the caption is misleading.
I'm worried they think they have the god given right to bend any organization to their view of what's right. Its not about the money or how big the company is, its about the consumers. I like Dave Chapelle. I even like plenty of old school comedians who have made racist jokes about my race. I like having lots of good content in one place so i dont need to sign up on 100 different video streaming platforms all representing ONLY content that features 0 wrong think according to the views of whoever works there.

I dont think you understand what censorship means if you believe that its somehow not censorship when a big company does it to a famous person. Yes, it is censorship. That's what the word means.

Two things:

1. Observe a great developer. How he/she think? How he/she approaches the problems? I was lucky and met Winsley back in 2008. Despite I was working only ~1 year for the company, this changed my whole life.

2. Do everything and try hard to do it great.

> And when they simply can't afford to exercise options.

fwiw if anyone is ever in this spot personally... there are almost always VCs/banks/investors/coworkers willing to front the cash to exercise options in exchange for some upside on the potential gain (I think there are entire startups based on this premise?). It's def worth asking around.

Maybe it's just getting older, but I've noticed feeling 'unacclimatized' more significantly after weather changes recently. Hot or cold days seem to surprise my body more than they used to.

We had a crazy heat wave in Seattle this year. I wonder if that could be related physiologically somehow. What are the physiological systems involved in adapting to high temperatures? How long does this adaptive effect last?
Advertisers are the customers, or am I missing something? To be fair, I don't consume any adblockable ads or TV ads (maybe once a quarter for TV) so I don't know if people click them, how much does purchasing ads affect the normal search score?
I'm confused. Isn't that the intent of the protest? Those walking out specifically want to silence Chappelle. At the end of the day, I don't care what happens between a multi-millionaire and a multi-billion dollar corporation but your question seems disingenuous at best.
Why not use the stuff the W3C has around DID?
Is there a study or report why all these social dramas are always coming from the FAANG companie? Are they simply because big? Or just the inner hierarchy is more young? Like I rarely hear things like this from IBM, or Intel, or Cisco etc. the list can go on. Maybe happens in those companies too but when I skim the headlines and I see LGBTQ / race / tech company it's always FB, Apple, Google, Netflix, Amazon

That's is the gist of Chappelle's points in his specials. He comments on arguing discrimination from a place of privilege, etc. He "closes" in the recent special by saying "Anybody who has actually listened to what I've been saying would know I don't have a problem with trans people, my problem is with white people."
I don't know anything about Apple's bug bounty program except that there's a prevailing attitude that it is not the well-oiled machine that Google's bug bounty program is perceived to be, and I'm not super interested in making a case for Apple here. But because this is a recurring theme in every discussion about every bug bounty run by anyone:

* There are valid reasons that bugs can take longer to fix than you'd expect; the most notable of them is when the bug you found is actually systemic, or has a deep root cause, and the real fix for the vulnerability is more complicated than the surface bug. Without a hard timeline, some shops will work to get the root cause fixed on some bugs even at the cost of an increased timeline, because the patch for the surface bug reveals the pattern and amplifies risk to customers.

* As a reporter, you can take some measure of control over the process back by providing a fixed timeline (like the P0 90 days). There's no negotiation needed; you give the vendor time to fix and they either do or don't, but either way you're going public. That is a valid way to go about things, but may cost you the bounty.

* These things are bug-dependent, and the process that runs for a zero-interaction RCE won't be the same as the process that runs for a bug that requires a malicious app store app and only gives access to the contact database.

* Message boards tend to expect that big vendors can just shell out for the bounty as a show of good faith. It's easy to see why they believe that. It makes sense. But it also creates broken incentives. The limiting reagent on bugs isn't bounty dollars (these are indeed barely even rounding errors to major vendors), but rather programmer time. If you pay out for weak, stuck-in-process bugs, you create incentives that redirect programmer time to those weak bugs and away from more significant bugs; as angry as you can reasonably be about a malicious app being able to snarf your contacts, if you're rational, you're a lot more concerned about memory corruption flaws, which is what you really want people spending their time on.
What about competence + relationship + hard work? Establishing relationships can be a part of work, and also hard work can be relationship building with a boss, who can then promote you... However, I share your aversion to being "a slave" and I also don't like to work for other people. But the only solution seems to be to work for yourself, which requires hard work just to survive. I thus feel like to satisfy the requirement of "no hard work" while working for someone else (because working for yourself is hard), requires the seeking of a position which is highly political and not really outcome dependent (otherwise your soon to be boss will have more incentive to filter you out), which sounds like the formula for some kind of bureaucratic cancerous cyst inside of a company, tbh. Which is something you would ideally not want to be a part of.

Nothing fringe about it, it's a general feature of inflation models. Exponential expansion essentially quick-freezes the universe, until the field which drives it (the inflaton) decays. At that point, exponential expansion stops (so no more cooling) and the universe fills with a hot soup of decay products. It's called reheating, and plays the role of old-school big bang:

I guess the overarching question is...

How do you determine if they are good for your application and how do you choose which family of wavelets to apply?
Sure, but then we shouldn't rely on them to save us either. (I don't know who does, probably just them tbh.) Character assassination doesn't make the argument less compelling for either group. If you want to discuss the ideals of the professional media class, you would find an equal homogeneity of values and an equal vacuousness of public self-aggrandizing in many.

"Relying on someone to save us" is really a perversion of democratic ideals. We are capable of deciding for ourselves the society that we want, in fair respect of the equal dignity of others, and a democratic society is the vehicle for that achievement.

Look at open source fonts, study how they are created, and which components are frequently updated, and create one of your own. It's much harder than it seems. But definitely do-able.
It is not just the font it is how you use it.

Out of the box in PowerPoint or Illustrator, you will struggle to set large characters in print unless you manually change character spacing.

I look at the movie titles and think there are mistakes in the spacing and wonder what kind of machine they used to make it.

All the above software is supposed to have automated ‘Kerninq’ of characters but it does not work well enough.

If serif spacing is tight, the letters link together like cursive or Arabic calligraphy and form a meaningful composition. The default rules, however, avoid serifs crashing into each other at all costs, space letters too far apart, and create meaningless white spaces.
Yeah it's strange, the content is about typography, but something about it is really hard to look at, at least on Mozilla Firefox. On some pages e.g. the typography-in-ten-minutes page it looks like the first paragraph is slightly, but not obviously, larger than the subsequent paragraphs.

Everything seems stretched vertically, and the stuff in all-caps is borderline A E S T H E T I C with the horizontal spacing.
Heh, well, a single tweet (280 char max) would take 486 seconds 8 minutes. Assuming you wanted just to send it a single hop in the USA. If you wanted three hops it would take 24 minutes and during that time significant chunks of the USA could not send tweets for 8 minutes at a time.

Imagine:
1:00pm SF transmits east of the sierras for 8 minutes.
1:08pm Someone east of the sierras transmits to someone east of the rockies
1:16pm Someone east of rockies transmits to someone on the coast
1:24pm Someone on the east cost receives a tweet

Keep in mind that from 1:00 to 1:16pm that nobody west of the rockies could tweet on the same frequency. So the effective tweets/hour would be something like a few per hour per frequency.

And it's not just latency that is added, if the demand exceeds the bandwidth available you'd never catch up.

Or to think of it another way, the USA over some theoretical mesh over HF couldn't keep up with this thread.
Nuclear is problematic, but it should not be phased out as long as there's fossil fuel used in energy generation. All efforts should go into replacing fossil fuels for now.

I think the problem you describe-- of being unsure of the origins and level of distortion of one's information on its journey between "reality" and "perception" is an old problem, which is rather quickly being solved by transparent technology.

It used to be that you had to trust the institution, because they were the best suited and capable to verify and validate the data and the individuals. Trust problems were both not publicized widely, and also did not have any obvious solutions.

Today, we are technically capable of validating and verifying the entire chain of custody or traversal for any given piece of information, and the only thing missing is the infrastructure to do so. On the other hand, if an institution demonstrates untrustworthiness, it is difficult to conceal.

I think that, more and more, we will demand to see the entire chain of creation and origin for a piece of information, and either validate it ourselves, or delegate that validation to a party we personally trust. That validation can then itself be validated with reputation.

Imagine, for a minute, if an article came with a list of all the writers, contributors, scientists, interviewees, editors, etc., who contributed to the article. And not only that, imagine you can see the entire social graph between you and those people. That is what the future looks like, IMO.
The referenced article has:

"Wavelets came about as a kind of update to an enormously useful mathematical technique known as the Fourier transform. In 1807, Joseph Fourier discovered that any periodic function — an equation whose values repeat cyclically — could be expressed as the sum of trigonometric functions like sine and cosine."

Due to the "periodic", that math is Fourier series, not the Fourier transform. Given almost any periodic function, the Fourier transform won't exist.

The math of Fourier theory is done carefully in two of the W. Rudin texts: Fourier series is in his Principles of Mathematical Analysis, and Fourier transforms is in his Real and Complex Analysis. For more, his Functional Analysis covers the related distributions. See also the "celebrated" Riesz–Fischer theorem, IIRC in his Real and Complex Analysis.

As I recall, wavelets have some good completeness properties.

Power spectra are of interest, and for that see the Wiener–Khinchin theorem. For the relevant statistics of estimating power spectra, see the work of Blackman and Tukey.

The referenced article also has

"That’s because Fourier transforms have a major limitation: They only supply information about the frequencies present in a signal, saying nothing about their timing or quantity."

Phase gives some information on timing, and the power spectra, on quantity.

The article also has

"Whenever you have a particularly good match, a mathematical operation between them known as the dot product becomes zero, or very close to it."

A dot product value of zero means orthogonality, that is, in the usual senses, neither signal is useful for saying any much about the other.

Of course, in the case of stochastic processes, the orthogonality of a dot product (inner product) is not the same as probabilistic independence.

For computations, of course, see the many versions of the fast Fourier transform, in response to a question from R. Garwin, rediscovered by Tukey, first programmed by Cooley, later given various developments and many applications.

At one point early in my career, these topics got the company I was working for "sole source" on a US Navy contract and got me a nice, new high end Camaro, a nice violin, a nice piano for my wife, some good French food, a sack full of nice Nikon camera equipment, and a nice stock market account! My annual salary was 6+ the cost of the Camaro.
I saw this style of writing (the separate-line style) on a blog post on some blog, which maybe appealed to me in the wrong way. I indeed took care of that, by combining all these lonely sentences into a few paragraphs after reading the comments. Before looking at that separate-line style, I used to put my writing into paragraphs, as you all suggested. My apologies if reading my post made your eyes hurt. I took your criticism as constructive, and used it to improve upon my work, which I hope is somewhat acknowledged. Anyways, thanks for the feedback, everyone!
