The primary blind spot in threat analyses conducted by law enforcement agencies, is that they do not consider potential threat vectors from bad actors within the state itself.

This threat is why there need to be checks on the power of the state to conduct searches, one of which is privacy technology like encrypted communication networks.

And, granted, interest isn't enough, but it's still a nice indicator. I just had fun, just fun, going over one of those algo problems last night.

Yeah this doesn't make sense to me either. If you assume the gas rights for all the land on the earth is priced that low (it isn't) you could buy all it for $1mm.

Also, I can't imagine the seller would be like "hmm, this guy wants to buy gas rights on 87,000 hectares of land for $1. Sounds like a good deal!" without thinking maybe there was something special and investigated for themselves first.

And why would a culture habituate to eating termites instead of pop-tarts? Because the pop-tarts are unavailable, or perhaps less nutritious, or perhaps any one of a zillion other reasons. Socialization is a how, not a why.

Squirrel is surprisingly delicious. That said squirrels are impractical to farm, and thus there would be no way to maintain a consistent supply of squirrel meat in a restaurant in a typical city. Thus squirrel is generally unavailable as an option at restaurants, and thus nobody orders it, as it would be dumb to order what they don't have. There is a similar issue with muskrat, which I prefer to squirrel, despite the total absence of any social norms dictating one to be superior to the other.

Getting back to the topic at hand, there is no explanative power to saying women choose a career option because they've been socialized to pursue that career option. They just as easily could have been socialized to pursue something else. For example 73% of US cashiers are women while only 35% of US counter clerks are women. "Because society" simply doesn't answer the question why.

I didn't mention Open Source development funding, which is something I think is inexplicably important. (You may consider it an exercise to the reader)

Since I can't leave it to chance, here is the solution anyway: Open Source has clear benefits to a huge number of users. This is a huge positive externality. So the evaluators would be trying to measure this positive impact and reward accordingly.

By reward, we should recognize money has 3 functions in society:

(1) Rewards as compensation for expenses. Straightforward: compensate for whatever expenses needed to sustain himself and bring the product to society.

(2) Rewards as investment for future development. This allows the person to create more of what he just did, or create something he only has proposals for so far. This is a kind of predictive compensation for expenses, diminishing risk and allowing realization without capital.

(3) Rewards as Recognition. Everyone needs a signal 'I'm doing well/I'm doing a good thing/I hope I'm of value to someone'. Rewards act as recognition of this value. Today we only have social recognition and a prize here and there, which not many exist.

(4) Rewards as Individualistic Motivation. This one is the primary means we are "supposed" to operate in a competitive environment. Your rewards are spent to satisfy your needs and desires as an individual. (Of course this is fine, everyone has needs and desires... although it's questionable whether one individual can have a 100000x or more the sensitivity or needs of another individual to justify massive individualist expenditure). We should hold no delusion -- we are advanced primates, and want a "banana" or "carrot" or whatever, so this should of course be taken into account.

With all 4 modes of operation, society should work quite well, and individuals should be happy and motivated.

They should be fertilized at the same rate at which the plants are consuming the fertilizer. Professionals will often judge this by measuring the electrical conductivity (EC) of the solution leaching from the bottom of the pot. The fertilizers are mostly ionic (excluding urea, though that becomes ionic after breakdown to ammonia), so that conductivity is roughly proportional to the root zone fertilizer concentration.

These meters used to be expensive, but you can get them for a few dollars on eBay, AliExpress, etc. now. Such measurement is now de rigeur in hydroponics. It works in soil-like potting mixes too, though only the most technically sophisticated hobbyists there (e.g., many orchidists) have adopted so far.

Saving money definitely, but also delaying having to scale the hardware as long as possible. I'm at 3.5 TiB NVMe (raid 1), and it would cost another $52 USD/mo to add an additional raid of 1.5 TiB NVMe @ Hetzner, not cool. Generally I'm seeing around 6:1 compression, so going from 3.5 TiB to 21 TiB is a big deal for me.

I'm manually doing zlib compression for large text columns when there's an obvious opportunity, basically DIY toast [1]. Doing that allowed one SQLite DB to go from about 205 GiB to 35 GiB. And I haven't really felt any performance impact when working with the data; but definitely feel the coding overhead. And there's still so much missed opportunity for compression.

Largest RocksDB is +1 GiB/day (poorly tuned with zlib compression). I just couldn't use SQLite for that one, lots of small rows, but they compress extremely well. I never wrapped up the compression experiments on that, but look at some rough notes snappy was 430G, and lz4 level 6 was 86G. Unfortunately using RocksDB has made coding more difficult.

I wonder what licence or ownership the building owner has over the architectural drawings & blue prints.

I imagine it wouldn’t be in an architects interest to have the plans sold multiple times. Tho on the flip side, it’s unlikely the plans would be used without changes, minor or major, which are likely best made by the original architectural firm. Which could become a source of additional business.

I think a tech leader will have an easier time getting the money and business strategy advice (and taking it) better than a business type will be getting tech advice and using it well.

I looked into this a while back, yep.
The brief summary here[1] implies that's the basis of the ACLU's reasoning:

>> Mr. Cross spoke in opposition to Policy 8040 at a school board meeting, and refused to comply with the provision...

>> While the teachers may disagree with the policy, they do not have the right to violate it in their capacity as K-12 teachers in the Loudoun County school system.

The brief was unclear about whether the teacher refused to comply in the meeting or in another circumstance, and I don't care enough to check sorry.

FWIW, I'm mostly in favour of at-will employment, and think that they should be able to suspend or get rid of him for any reason. And I'm in favour of school choice, and think that if the views of parents and teachers would be better reflected if the government weren't involved. And I'm a cynic, and believe that the only reason anyone's talking about a Virginia school is the governor's race, and it's all just entertainment for people living elsewhere.

I think hydrogen bombs tend to be cleaner. Or at least, they have a higher ratio of heat/kinetic energy versus radioactive fallout. The long-term environmental contamination of a few large hydrogen bombs probably wouldn't be as bad as a lot of smaller fission bombs. (I'm not an expert though. And either way you'd probably want to hide in a hole in the ground for awhile at least if you aren't and can't get far upwind.)

> My point is that what is considered orthodox can change in
just a couple of decades;

There will clearly be more revolutions in physics over time. We know the Standard Model is are wrong. Dark Matter and Dark Energy may be right or wrong. We need more experimental evidence to help us decide. This is not a new insight that you've had. Literally every physicist knows this.

> it's not insane to question whether an orthodoxy that's been in place for just a couple of decades (and is itself pretty speculative) should have the status of scientific fact.

What makes you think that physicists think that anything that's been discussed is scientific "fact"?

More importantly, there is no value in you, me, or any layman without an even undergraduate-level understanding of math and physics questioning anything that you don't know a single thing about. You don't even know what you don't know, and despite your claims of humility, your earlier writings clearly demonstrated either incredible arrogance, naivety, or both.

> Similarly, I'm not an economist; I can't prove that Friedman had the wrong end of the stick. But I can still make reasonable judgements about a government's economic policies, and my judgements are sometimes more right than those of experts.

This analogy is wrong. I could go into why you probably didn't even understand why the experts believed what they believed, but I don't have time for that. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. And even if someone is wrong, their thought process could have been better and more informed than yours.

Your analogy breaks down because none of that has any bearing to cosmology. You don't understand any foundational knowledge required to even begin to have an elementary conversation. Saying "I don't buy these existing theories" is actually making a very strong statement, because it implies that you understand what the current theories are, why they are what they are, and all of the other theories that have been ruled out for various reasons. And if you don't know any of this, then your opinion is literally worthless in the epistemological sense.

When I was an undergraduate studying computer science, I met a graduate mathematics student at a programming competition. I asked him if he could explain his research to me. He said "no". I wasn't upset, nor did I tell him that his theories were wrong. Rather, I was enlightened. I realized that there was no way he could possibly explain the abstract concepts that he was studying to a person who barely understood linear algebra. It would have taken me years of hard studying to begin to be able to grasp the kinds of problems that he was tackling, the approaches that he was taking, and why. This is no different.

What happens when you delete data?
Hard to understand how the new dorm meets these standards, though the article is from 2000, and the question was about a private home:

To begin with, the Unified Building Code states that every bedroom is required to have at least one window opening to the exterior of the dwelling, not an adjoining room. The purpose of this requirement is threefold:

A bedroom must have a direct source of outside light, provided by a window that is at least 10% as large as the floor area of the room.

* A bedroom must have a direct source of outside ventilation, consisting of an opening window at least 5% as large as the floor area.

* Every bedroom must have a means of fire escape, directly to the exterior of the building, by way of a door or window that opens. Fire escapes to adjoining rooms are not acceptable. In the advent of a fire, that second room could conceivably be filled with smoke or engulfed in flames at the moment when escape becomes imperative. The only permitted means of escape is to the outside.*
Note that for an asteroid reaching terminal velocity, that's already largely the radiative pattern for thermal energy and the bulk of the energy transfer. That is, for Chelyabinsk, roughly half the heat radiated directly to space.

For a sufficiently large single impactor ... there's also an ejecta cloud, and for sufficient sizes (e.g., Chixulub+), that also results in atmospheric warming by a similar mechanism, though from secondary rather than primary fireballs. Several descriptions of the K-T mass extinction go into this mechanism in detail. Even at the antipodes, most exposed terrestrial life would have been subjected to at the very least uncomfortable, and probably lethal, heat.

I've had the experience of feeling radiated heat from a bushfire (and a relatively small one at that), and even at 100s of meters distance, it could be distinctly felt, with the sense that this wasn't just a nearby small heat source (a radiator or firepit), but a large conflagration. The prospect of a wall of flame sweeping down a hillside, or of a sky on fire, is slightly more real to me since that.
No. If Apple values their user experience they shouldn't throw developers under the bus. When they fail to adopt cross-platform standards like Vulkan, this is what happens.
