> "strong Indo-European presence"?

Hindi is an Indo-European language. As I mentioned above, that is the reason for the term "Indo-European" in the first place.

India is not entirely Indo-European speaking; about 20% of the population speaks a Dravidian language instead. But I feel comfortable describing almost 80% of the population as being "a very strong Indo-European presence".

> > India is much more difficult to get to from Ukraine than Xinjiang is, but they have a very strong Indo-European presence

> Could you elaborate? I was intrigued so I measured on google maps.

Straight-line distance is not informative as to how easy it is for a human to make the journey. Proto-Indo-Europeans used a cultural toolkit involving horse-drawn chariots. They started out in the steppes north of the Black Sea, which I've referred to above as "Ukraine". But look at this map of the steppe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurasian_Steppe

You can get to Xinjiang from Ukraine by riding a horse east through the steppe. (Admittedly, and then detouring a bit south into a desert. And riding the horse may be anachronistic.) You're spending almost the entire trip in the same climate and terrain you're already familiar with.

But going to India involves leaving the steppe to cross some rather different terrain, after which you end up in the tropics.

In fact we know the Aryans did get bogged down on the way to India; we have records of Indo-Aryan speakers ruling a kingdom in the north of Mesopotamia at a time when they hadn't yet reached India: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitanni . These people did not blaze a path of conquest all the way to India; the territory around them was held by Semitic speakers and has been continuously from then to now.

Wikipedia has a decent gif of the spread of Indo-Europeans over time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Indo-European_migrations....

Note how they start in Ukraine and it's easier for them to move a couple thousand miles east along the steppe (Afanasievo) than it is to move 50 miles north (Corded Ware).
I'm not sure exactly how earn.com worked, but when I implemented this for my own email, all such emails would go to a "quarantine" folder until the sender responded to the autogenerated email.

So yes, the sender's email did get to me. Thankfully, I would be blissfully unaware of it until the sender confirms they're human. The sender needs to do it only once. There's a great chance that if the sender is not willing to go through that hoop, that they are not someone whose email I want to read.

This isn't "killing" the open nature of email. As designed, the email was delivered to me. I just added a workflow to it.

Apple, of course, was not amused by that name:

75 minutes into his keynote, he said:

"…but connecting people was always much bigger…it was always clear that the dream was to feel present with the people we care about…here we are in 2021, and our devices are still designed around apps, not people. The experiences we’re allowed to build and use are more tightly controlled than ever, and high taxes on creative new ideas are stifling. This is not the way that we are meant to use technology. The Metaverse gives us an opportunity to change that, if we build it well. But it’s going to take all of us…Together, we can create a more open platform."

When he says this, I hear between the lines that the platform will be open to all contributors as long as the "open platform" belongs to Meta. How does he not realize that by seeking to dominate and own this "open platform" instead of working outside of his company to build a truly open platform with others is actually open?

Does he not read enough sci fi or literature in general to know that by having so much power and not seeking to let go a bit more, he opens himself up to the same risks and temptations faced by myriad dystopian villains?

> no I/O

The problem description is writing out bytes which is probably some of the more expensive part of this. In fact, if you read the winning solution description, IO is the primary problem here.

> doesn't immediately jump out as SIMD.

IDK that I agree with this assessment. Very naively, I see no reason you'd not take the 512 SIMD registers and split them into 16 32 bit lanes. From there, it's a relatively simple matter of using 2 registers for the divisors, pulling out the results, and transforming them into the text to print. In other words, you be chunking this up into 16 iterations per loop. (vs 1 with the naive assembly).

This is the sort of thing that jumps out as easily vectorizable.

Now, the fastest answer very obviously does not take this approach because I'm certain they realized the same thing, that the difficult part here isn't the actual division, but instead pumping out the correct text at the highest speed possible. If you read through it, most of the code is dedicated to converting binary numbers into ascii :D
Right, except the community here refuses to apply the same standard of evidence that they apply to other topics, because they don't like the conclusion. Ironic because they make fun of anti-vaxxers and flat-earthers, when they're really just as unreasonable given topics that hurt their feelings.
This is discussed in the article as one of the possibilities.

iPhone 13 is not going to sell well. And while I believe they will sell a good amount of laptops this holiday season, they are relatively low margin products and do not represent cross selling opportunities as you do with phones.

This is to say, Apple “needs” a new major product. Car is a moonshot but I personally think they can easily tackle the gaming space. They have all the right pieces to create $500B market cap.

It’s also possible that the impurities themselves were making it easier on the body(for whatever reason they could signal liver to produce more enzymes that were the ones to break down meth or clear it’s harmful metabolites etc)
I make my living predicated on the assumption that digital optimizers over loss functions have practical value, but seeing a pretty terrifying meta-pattern where defining and then subsequently obsessively optimizing and inevitably gaming metrics will burn away basically all of the useful parts of most human institutions, as we see in nearly every kind of business as noted here, as well as government endeavors like education, I'm pretty close to genuinely believing that quantifying success and trying to optimize over a metric is something human institution should literally never do, which is a weird place to be

>He'd still be the richest man alive

if you're measuring outcomes by relative income/wealth, then you can also argue that the "Even Greater Depression" wouldn't affect the average person either, because everyone would stay in the same place (on average).

>probably even more powerful than he already is right now thanks to how Amazon and AWS would get to take over more failing social institutions.

We just had a huge pandemic and recession. Did he take over "failing social institutions" did he "take over"?

>It's a setback for Bezos, and maybe he wants to avoid it in order to maximize profit and utility and whatever, but it's an existential threat to him in the same way spilling a glass of milk or losing a round in a video game are. Even extreme social unrest has been priced in, at however much a bunker in New Zealand costs.

Surely he'd prefer to be the leader of a global megacorp, travel anywhere in the world, partake in various space-related adventures, and not be trapped in a bunker? You're right he won't ever have to worry about his basic needs, but I wouldn't characterize it as "spilling a glass of milk or losing a round in a video game". I'd be pretty pissed if the US government somehow revoked by right to leave the country.

>Other people, when the Big Crash arrives, will -- in a totally economically rational way! -- commit suicide in order to ensure their spouses and children aren't bankrupted by their medical bills. Uh, in greater numbers than they already do.

I'm not sure why this is being brought up, other than for the shock value.

>I mean. Should be a good time for the owner class to buy up all the housing stock for cheap, too.

Similar to your fears about amazon taking over, this seems to be unsupported by the data. The great recession lasted from Q1 2008 to Q3 2009, according to the fed. However, this doesn't seem to correlate with institutions buying up houses?

I see it’s time to link this thing again, which made the rounds in the late 1990s as spam was starting to become a problem. Everybody and their dog had their own “ultimate solution” to the spam problem, which they all thought was obviously the correct one, but all of them were more or less equally unworkable:

Things must be pretty good if folks can choose to retire before the age of 54. That also seems at odds with folks quitting due to "slave wages". Which is it? No hope of professional advancement and higher wages seems unsupportable in this country. Why do so many want to migrate here for such a grim outlook?
Regarding #3 I don't think there is a massive move of male primary caregivers for children. Your examples are not a compelling explanation for the participation dip in males 25-54.
Nope. The open protocol email was built on would still work, just some people would now use a service that blocks newsletters and other annoying spam. Only his business model would be effected, the rest of could merilly go on without consequence of Earn.com's success.
I remember plans for email credits / micro transactions back in the 90s as a “cure” for spam.

If anything it would be easier to implement today with the centralisation of email services around large providers (MS, Google, etc).
I would not call that 'cash in hand'. I get why you see it that way but to compare it to the little guy:

A credit card with a $5000 limit is not $5000 cash in hand. It's a 'line of credit' for $5000 and whether I actually have the cash to pay that back is a different story. I might actually have $0 cash in hand to pay that back and many people don't until their next paycheck arrives.

Any guesses how far the Oracle share price (of ~$100) has to drop before the bank will actually use that collateral to get their cash?
> Other countries raise more revenue (taxes) and pay for more things. That is "great", you say. The US could do the same.

Well sure, but we'd have to pay off our debt first. If you want to raise taxes to pay off debt, I'm actually more in support of that than raising taxes to pay welfare. So far, all tax raising plans to pay off welfare just continue to increase the debt (and it's not like the anti-welfare people end up decreasing it either). So really until then, I'm not in support of anything other than lowering the debt.

I'm not sure that raising taxes will help. The US federal government pulls in a larger percentage in taxes as percentage of GDP than ever before, and yet is still spending it all + some. This is not sustainable.

> The important question is: which countries get the best outcomes for their people through government spending?

No it's not. The important question is: which countries get the best outcomes, whether via government spending or not, and do so while not being in debt?
>And I'm hardly alone here. Indeed, the whole reason Facebook is in public doghouse right now is Zuckerberg's focus on dominance and profit without regard to little externalities like genocide. So you may have different goalposts for him, but that doesn't mean I've moved anything.

you are moving goalposts you just don't see it. We're talking about business acumen, not scientific acument or mathematical acumen or ethics acumen. That FB is in the "public doghouse" is about as meaningful an observation as "the post office loses money every year" or "NASA can't afford to pay its engineers as much as FAANG" or "the ACLU has never successfully tried a personal injury case". The only public that matters here are the public markets and they think zuckerberg is a genius (this recent blip not withstanding).

> That only means at state level and most places will add taxes at a locality level.

Oregon (my own state) has no sales tax anywhere, including localities.'
The UK also has a series of anti-spam and anti-solicitation measures (see this by ofcom, our communications regulator: https://www.ofcom.org.uk/phones-telecoms-and-internet/advice...). They are very effective, many people are educated on reporting so even out of jurisdiction offenders (e.g windows has an issue, or the more recent parcel fee texts) are shut down pretty quickly. We are currently passing (or have passed) some measures to make the service provider liable for out of jurisdiction calls and texts.

The major issue we are not addressing is ‘legal scams’. Charities harassing old people, tradesmen faking issues to the uneducated - that kind of thing.
"The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships, motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day I got in...

It turns out The Grid is just a guy sitting in a chair, shouting about "Fizz!" and "Buzz!" as fast as he can.

It wasn't really what I had in mind.

It says that they’re lacking in the hardware department.
There is a fairly big drop (-3.4%) in the after market.

So I guess those results are a disappointment.
If you don’t mind limiting your CPU choices, there’s nothing stopping you from using one of AMD’s CPUs that come with integrated graphics. I did this for a short while with a Ryzen 5 2400G before purchasing an external graphics card (and eventually replacing the CPU too).
I’d argue the Oculus has made a real dent unlike the other product. I’ve tried it, I tasted the future.

I question whether such a law is really necessary. It's costly to hoard property and leave it unproductive. Even if it's owned outright, there's pressure to rent, sell, or otherwise use it productively due to property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs, as well as opportunity costs of missed rental income or selling to divert capital towards something that actually yields return.
I don't game (but would like to be able too). I ran intel integrated graphics for 5 years and never missed a thing ;).

I put 16G in my machine in '15 and rarely exceed 3-4G daily use even today (and for a long time 1-2G daily - I recently switched to Budgie desktop so it's jumped a bit). At this point I'd just buy new ram and the two sticks I have go into the surplus pile but my motherboard (depend on source) only supports 16 (it's oldish also from 2015)

There are water cooling for SFF cases (mine can take a 120MM radiator for instance - the ghost mentioned upthread can take up to a full 360 with the tophat) but I put a Noctua CPU cooler in and changed out the fan on it. Stays nice and cool. My Caselabs itx case could do up to 3 360MM Radiators but was not SFF (by a large amount!).

On the upgrade path, it's so long between that I usually just build a new machine, 6+ years so far on my current desktop and good enough until I find it not. By then, DDR5. PCIE 4.x, etc, etc

I am not trying to convince you to get one, just show that there's a market for SFF... just like there's one for latops, rackmounts, NUCS, stickpcs, Pis and yes even EATX Threadripper monsters in cases on casters ;)

Apple could hire more engineers to make it's software less buggy at least and to fix a lot of long time small annoyances. And to double their devtools engineer count to make the entire company and all of their external developers more effective.
So why not regulate US carriers to block those calls? Or to make it more difficult to obtain the US VOIP number in the first place?

I would agree with you in the case of a mass market design where you're competing with a major CPU player. And while that gets the most attention in the tech media, it's actually a somewhat small portion of the market. it's important to keep in mind that a large portion of the semiconductor (VLSI, digital design) market is chips that perform auxiliary tasks. Things like networking equipment controllers, Storage device controllers, and connectivity device controllers like Bluetooth, USB, and whatnot. Those designs all have CPUs in them, but performance is not as critical as something like a Ryzen CPU or an i7. Unit volumes can be lower for these chips as well, and there is definitely a lot of value to be gained by a lowered development costs, which this aims to do.

While I'm not claiming that this is a perfect implementation, the VLSI design world is definitely ripe for newer, higher level, and more open source design languages and tools. There will always be performance critical designs that lower level languages will be useful for, similarly how there will always be performance critical code that will be written in C/C++ and assembly.

And yes, I'm aware of most of the alternative HDLs, and open source EDA tools out there, and I have varying opinions about them. I understand the limitations of building hardware and why we do things the way we do. But I think it's incredibly naive to think that we can't apply more mindsets from software engineering to hardware engineering. We just happen to be in a market where good hardware engineers can get paid more as a software engineer. I call this out because I get the push back from so many people in my industry, and they sound like (what I would imagine) Autodesk developers sound like when Blender gets brought up in a conversation.
This is really interesting. May I ask why you came to the ADHD conclusion in the first place? Was it solely the correlation between depression/anxiety and adhd?

I did a quick search and came across a few articles such as the following one:
https://totallyadd.com/23-signs-you-do-not-have-adhd/

I was surprised to find I exhibit many of these symptoms. Most prominently having stacks of things throughout the office/house which contain various half-worked projects or hobbies or just general information. My shieldmadien constantly complains about the "disaster" and is always shocked when she asks where something is, and I'm able to go straight to the pile of junk which contains exactly what she's looking for.

Other things like time being an elusive concept or going to another room to get something and then getting there and having no idea what I am supposed to be doing are also frequent occurrences. I know where my car keys are, but that's only because I have a very specific plastic tray on the kitchen counter that is supposed to contain them and my wallet. If they disappear from there because I get distracted between walking into the house and emptying my pockets then it's usually a hunt for them.

I tend to bounce between new projects but get obsessively engrossed with them at the start... and then just never complete them.

Not sure if I actually have it, but it is an interesting thought.
Just look at the comment above mine: "booo on any company that". Some people will perceive his rejection as bad hiring practices on Codecademy's part.

For the record, I don't think prediction markets are perfect and solve all problems.

I also don't think solutions/tools should be discarded because they are not perfect.

From your examples, it seems like your knock against prediction markets are the fact the aggregated predictions don't end being correct at times? Of course that's going to happen, and I don't necessary see instances of the wrong aggregated predictions of a market as a bug, but a feature. Human populations are wrong about things all the time in the aggregate. What better way to get better at decision-making than getting feedback on how we are wrong?

My argument for prediction markets was not for generating knowledge in the aggregate from all of the individual users' predictions. It was centered on the individual front as a way to reward individuals who are better able to predict the future. The uber context in which I was commenting was around who should be considered an expert. Prediction markets are one potential tool (albeit not perfect) to measure individual's conception of current reality and future reality.
