Interesting. My dad is an MD PhD and he got the PhD while being a full time trauma surgeon in his forties. I think perhaps this is like all the other things people have told me are impossible: if I (or all the people like me) want to, we’d find it easy.
what would the alternative be? seizing the factory and change of management?

unions are there because the alternatives are usually far more violent and messy, looking at the history of the labour movement.
That’s so confused, you probably should go and read some economics.

Zuckerberg’s Meta Endgame Is Monetizing All Human Behavior
Recently got my first VR headset. Played around in Unity and did their create with VR course then made my own game - Whack-a-mole in VR. Thinking of participating in GitHub's Game Off by making another game in VR but so far none of my friends have been interested in the idea (Which is fair, they work in software and code all day. I used to but I teach now so coding outside of work is much more fun). I'll likely just do another solo project and later on maybe rope some of my students into VR development for future projects.
I wonder if the 500 page comment Buffett made was ever meant to be taken seriously. Maybe he just said for the sake of motivating students.
Exchanges make money hand over fist, they keep non-trivial basis points from a nice simple MySQL transaction. The question is: is the net outflow from the USDT peg into USD more than the revenue they are bringing in?
Much like not quitting a job without having new employment lined up, it's a good idea to get a new phone or pc while your current device is still in good enough condition that migration is easy. If you ride it to failure things get messy.
Ada implementation of an X Window System Server (1989)
That's sometimes how it goes. I'm in my late 30s and been through many phases in life. Different careers, different cities, etc. It's very difficult to keep friendships together when the circumstances that kept you in the same place change. After university, people go in dozens of different directions and disperse around the country. If you work in some job for many years, you'll find the same thing to be true when you leave.

There's only probably a handful of good, close friends that will last for more than a few years as good, close friends. That's okay. You'll make new ones in the new endeavors you take up. Do what you can to hang on to the ones that stick around.

I think over time it became more clear that the few people who were able to do it, enjoy it, and keep it going, were physically or genetically unusual in some way. No matter how well they described their approach, most physically can’t copy them.

Biphasic sleep is still quite popular but it tends to be framed as taking a nap rather than as a 24-hour sleep regimen.
Your last question is really interesting and someone who knows should chime in.

> The Land Registry paid out a total of £3.5m in compensation for fraud last year.

I’d imagine (like my imagination fits with actual law!) that the original owner should get the house back and the new owners get money. The new owners were the victims of fraud, I can’t see justice in them being out. But just like a baseball game is over on a called third strike and no replay will overturn the call, and when an election is certified or called by the judges it’s over regardless of further maneuvering, the new ownership is registered and that’s a fact on the ground. Could just be a bureaucratic thing.

Then again, in SF, a couple bought some property a few years ago at tax auction, bought it free and clear, and then the wealthy and connected neighbors who let it get into tax arrears in the first place raised a big snit and the city reversed its own sale. So whoever owns the registry can do whatever they want, at least in the US, title be damned. Maybe the same in the UK.
As far as I understand it you spend 4 hours sleeping, then your subconscious wakes up and spends 4 hours training itself based on new data acquired during the day, and then your consciousness wakes up and shuts down the training in order to execute for the next day. So I'm not sure that reducing sleep to just 4 hours would help, it is enough to survive and stay alert throughout the day but probably not optimal.

Edit: I also think that this is why you get tired when you sleep too much, your subconsciousness will run exhausting mental training when your consciousness is asleep so sleeping when your subconsciousness is alert makes you more tired.

> A good school district that performs well is mostly a function of how much of the population is composed of that kind of student & parent combo and safe environment.

And that's tied to the school district, and is partially a function of how well funded the school is. People will money aren't going to send their children to poorly funded schools.

> Because the USA has a history of the above statement also being used for crypto-racist segregative bullshit, everyone thinks this really saying racist shit, but this applies the world over, including places without a long history of racism.

Outside of the US, funding for schools is often centrally planned, so most schools are relatively similar in funding, so you can't really properly compare.

Yes, this is tied to racism (white flight, segregationism/desegregationism), but this also applies to communities that are white and poor too.

Really, though, you're not very well educated on this subject. Your arguments don't reflect studies on the topic. You're making bold claims based on surface level thoughts; this is why people get angry when you say things like this.

In my particular situation, there has never been a "bad incident". When approached by strangers, she pancakes to the pavement and is visibly fearful and anxious. She'll even stray away when people she doesn't know are walking on the sidewalk within 30 feet or so. It's not just a warning, but also communication that being approached scares her (I always use the word "bite", because apparently when I say "my dog is terrified of strangers", some people think a sane response is "Oh, dogs love me! Come here, pooch, gimme a smooch!").

I don't take her to dog parks or places with lots of people. Avoiding any possibility of the situation would mean not taking her for daily walks around the neighborhood; this is just the reaction when somebody who is not familiar in the neighborhood sees her for the first time (often people just walking down their driveways toward me). I don't think that fully isolating her from ever seeing a person she doesn't know is necessarily the best choice for her either.

For somebody to suddenly pet her, there would have to be a person who is hiding behind a hedge or car waiting to jump out and pet a strange dog, which would be a bad idea regardless of the dog's disposition to strangers.

I understand your point, but I think you're making the assumption that I'm putting her into avoidable situations that are higher risk, rather than the bare minimum necessary proximity to people in order for her to get her exercise and the psychological necessity for anxious dogs to scope out their surroundings regularly.
The GIN index is general, the limitation is that the optimizer can only use the index for expressions where the operator is applied directly to the indexed field.

The example in the docs is somewhat unfortunate because it can also be expressed directly on the indexed column using the jsonb containment operator, allowing the index can be used:

-- Find documents in which the key "tags" contains key or array element "qui"
SELECT jdoc->'guid', jdoc->'name' FROM api WHERE jdoc @> '{"tags": ["qui"]}';

SQL/JSON path provides much greater expressivity than the containment operator so it allows more complex queries than can be expressed in terms of jsonb containment to be written directly on the indexed column enabling the index to be used.

> Taking a look at the most recent docs, it seems jsonb_ops should provide similar index optimization characteristics to the index operations in the extension for the native SQL/JSON Path type. Likely with similar trade offs.

Definitely check with jsonb_path_ops too. While it doesn't cover quite as much as jsonb_ops the index is much more compact so queries are often quite a bit faster using it instead of the larger jsonb_ops index.

I strongly suspect, with nothing but circumstantial evidence, that the AirPods are the result of Apple's research into hearing aids.

The precursor for the AirPods by a few years was actually a MFi (Made for iPhone) hearing aid protocol, doing audio streaming from the phone over Bluetooth LE. This is in many hearing aids on the market today.

The medical market is not something Apple is really suited for, something they hit when they rolled out the EKG watch capability a few years ago (which is _still_ trickling out in markets due to slow regulatory approval).

Apple also typically sells high volumes of premium products and has durable differentiators (say software experience) to justify good margins. Hearing aids unfortunately would be too low volume to justify a product - typically when something is deemed to be lower volume they work with third parties to ship it. Hence, MFi hearing aids.

Because of the lower volume and high quality focus, I suspect you wouldn't save much from an Apple Hearing Aid.

The variability of people's needs typically means people need at least a test by an audiologist and many need custom fittings and support. Medical offices with ongoing support add a lot of cost, which is one reason why Costco can undercut third parties so severely.

It is a shame, because the hearing aid industry would be totally transformed by Apple's design and miniaturization talent.
Much more important? Most just let the process self optimize and look for shaddy short term bump deals. That job could be done better by a smart contract.

Lots of counterproductive things are appealing to lots of people. Rolling coal is appealing to lots of people. Not getting vaccines is appealing to lots of people. That doesn't mean the benefits outweigh the costs socially, and it doesn't mean that it should be legal.

Side things: thinking about how to colonize the asteroid Ceres, perhaps by tokenizing its land and using the proceeds to buy a space mission to send an object there and then claim sovereignty, but without all the BS and scams that have been plaguing the crypto world since the beginning.

Another side thing: thinking about creating a new pseudonymous "artist" to send a strong message about how f*ed the world is.
I'm not sure that has any bearing on my comment though.

COVID has sent me on quite a life detour re-evaluating my priorities. Tried my hand at some freelance and realized I'm not cut out for the networking aspect, at least where I'm at right now.

A good chunk of the past years free time has gone into one codebase. I'm hoping to create a new interface for myself that truly decouple data from UI abstractions. I'm just so sick of the day-in-day-out dealing with app UI/UX refreshes, forced OS updates removing and killing functionality that worked for _me_, dark patterns preying on my attention and time and at times winning, the amount of time to replicate any user interface I use.

I'm running out of money though so I'm applying like crazy to jobs again. Upset feeling like life's priorities are only to survive, forgoing a lot of other things to find necessary time to do stuff. But pushing through I suppose

Baseball is interesting because there's no game clock. The last 2 minutes of a football game can literally take twenty minutes. It's also equally annoying in basketball, with teams just fouling and doing other hijinks in the last couple minutes.

In baseball, you're required to throw pitches, you can't just stand there and stall like a lot of other sports. I think I enjoy F1 for a similar reason.

I'm in my late 20s and my wife works on her own startup (non tech tangible product). I wonder if there are others who have their spouses working and how the marriage factored into their decision to pursue a CS PhD. I'm not from USA.

My primary concerns are her startup tanking, me being unavailable for her mental health and of course a steady income.

I sometimes wonder maybe I should pursue a CS PhD after settling down financially by late 40s.

Bernie Madoff claimed that his scam started in 1991, though in reality it was probably much earlier. It didn't collapse until 2008.

Depends on your definition of „better“. Since decisions are always emotionally made and rationalized after the fact, this approach will fall victim to significant amounts of survivorship and post-purchase bias.

Life doesn’t have an A/B Test and time tends to make things golden in retrospect — so it‘s hard to compare with what you could have done instead with your only truly non-renewable resource.

I would at least not recommend making a PhD if you don‘t love academia itself.
> Those would be the gamers. But I am targeting students. And not many students can afford high-end devices. I am more interested in devices such as Google Cardboard, Zapbox and AR4E. High cost of devices should not become a roadblock for educational content distribution.

> Some applications that I have in mind will require interaction and collaboration

I think this would be a much easier decision if there weren't the fundamental UI differences between the two categories. As I'm sure you know already, the lowest-end devices lack positional tracking for both the headset and the controllers, putting them in basically a different category experience and software-design wise than the $300 Quest and all the more expensive systems.

As far as I know the most successful product of that type was the Oculus Go which has been discontinued. The similar GearVR phone-based system people often bought but didn't use despite owning, which itself was a huge jump in quality over what Cardboard offers.

So as far as I can tell the category seems like a dead-end at this point, it doesn't seem to be receiving substantial software or hardware investment and will likely disappear altogether as positional tracking gets cheaper.

In contrast FB is launching a $150M fund specifically for VR educational content - I expect basically none of that will go towards pre-positional-tracking systems and software.

So I guess it depends on what your time horizon is - I'd just be aware that any investments into designing software for 3DOF systems are likely to depreciate pretty quickly.

Yes, with ACH it's possible for the money to be tied up for some time, which deprives you of interest.
The stock market can be priced in BTC and I think this maybe shows that a currency and a stock contract for ownership are fundamentally different. You can't put your money to work in a currency, you just speculate that it might rise in value and have higher conversion rates in the future.

Stocks are also used like a currency in mergers which seems odd but is practical in some circumstances.

Stocks and currency can both become most valuable as TP or wall paper.

The wilds swings in exchange rate is typical of any new currency, even the USD in its early years.
