You should really read the article. Ben is arguing that 53 foot containers exist, but not for ocean shipping, only land. The link you've posted says the same.

"The USA and Canada, however, have been using 53ft long containers for road and rail transport since 1989"
Not surprising. Anecdotal, but I was once hit by a cab while crossing the street. They were making a left turn. Yes, it was 2AM and I was wearing dark clothes but still, there was plenty of light at that intersection and it's not like I jumped out of nowhere (I had already walked more than halfway across the street before I was suddenly on the car's hood and then of course on the asphalt). Luckily for me I didn't suffer any injuries (that I know of).
> In all this excitement hopefully we don’t forget the horde of luddites that’s the modern physics community that couldn’t imagine the possibility of faster than light travel.

https://doi.org/10.1007%2Fs10701-011-9539-2 - cited 57 times

https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6382/aafcea - cited 47 times

https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.56.2100 - cited 123 times

Each of these papers propose a separate method of faster-than-light travel. Where's the lack of imagination?

> Like I get it, it’s absurd to consider FTL in regular space time, but when a normal person asks this question all they care about is whether they can realistically imagine going from one star to another in meaningful timespans. Pretty much every physicist I talked to online and offline would scoff and call the concept “absurd” (which is technically true in regular space time). I even believed them for a while. They’d shut down any discussion or imagination before it was even possible. Even now you see the same backwards thinking instead of being excited at least by the theoretical possibility. Even last year when I brought up the Alcubierre drive to a physics PhD he wasn’t aware of it, and couldn’t imagine this being anything other than a joke (even after showing him the Wikipedia page).

What's the difference between "regular" and "non-regular" spacetime? Also, maybe the physicists you talked to worked in other subfields of physics and didn't have expertise in this topic? Imagine going up to a professor in computer networking and asking what they think about the P=NP problem.

> Like a bunch of science fiction writers could think of something called “warp drive” and it took decades for some dude in Mexico to imagine a theoretical potential method to do this?

A bunch of science fiction writers also thought up of something called "transporters" and we have no way of making it real. Another group came up with PADDs and we have them now. You're cherrypicking one data point and generalizing it.

> The last great physicist in my opinion is Carl Sagan, the entire field just like most sciences have rotten to the core into completely unimaginative folks who cannot fathom a world that’s only marginally different from what’s currently around them.

Roger Penrose is still alive, and has a Nobel Prize in physics. We also took a picture of a black hole two years ago. Isn't that a great scientific achievement as well? It seems as though you're mistaking Sagan's scientific outreach efforts for actual scholarship on the subject.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I see the opposite of what you do in academia. For me, it seems to be still working well. Sure, there's still weird politics and worrying about being scooped, but ideas that are credible won't be shot down, but anything that doesn't make sense would be ripped to shreds.
I really don't think a legal argument can be made in case of GDPR breach saying "we cannot enforce GDPR because our tech does not support this"

I think if you are a business you should choose technology that allows you to be compliant with the law.
> There were times when physics PhDs would chuckle and say absurd about going faster than sound.

Oh come on now, that's obvious bullshit. The term "sound barrier" doesn't predate the 20th century and was only popularized during WWII. Any physicist claiming it was a fundamental limitation would've needed to be completely ignorant to the existence of artillery. Who were these supposed physicists and what specifically did they claim?
I’d rather get paid in dollars than in JSON metadata and JPGs of apes.
> But publicly traded companies don't dilute their shareholders away.

Sure; however governments do dilute their share... err citizens away ;)
Awesome -- if you want to play with the STM32F4, I recommend the STM32F411VE Discovery board[0], which seems to be in ample supply (no small feat!), works with Hubris out of the box, is pretty cheap, and has a built-in ST Link. Also, note that Humility is the debugger, but it's an entirely reasonable conflation, as much of playing with Hubris is in fact playing with Humility! We don't have too many drivers for the F4 (our SP is based on the H7), but it's a well-documented and understood part/board, so there should be plenty of fun to be had!

One more thing: once you become an outsider, it’s nearly impossible to become part of the tribe.
interesting. Are there any resources to get in depth into browser security, specially for a relative novice? also what is the best way to contribute in the sub projects of Mozilla Firefox for example?
Instead of "just wondering" with a not-so-subtle disagreement, it would be more constructive to expand on how you think this applies to fiat money.
Yep. Blockchain says I own this case of wine... but the other guy wont give me my wine! Who do I call? The physical, centralized police and the centralized legal system that back it. Without that legal system recognizing and honoring it, it's worthless. And if it all depends on my centralized legal system, then who cares about the decentralized blockchain. Might as well put it in a table in a database instance running on AWS, or in a written contract.

Ab initio first years probably just about know what registers are so I can believe that.

Decoupling the compilers optimizations and the ABI (particularly what constitutes a "move" of a struct) has derailed a few conversations I've been involved with - even from very smart devs (although mainly interpretation rather than basic misunderstandings like thinking what is actually due to the ABI is an optimization)

That's what you have to do if you don't upstream. The Linux community is responsible for updating any upstreamed drivers that are affected by code changes that they make.
Yes. "Always the same no matter what" is what was described. If your friend is looking at a mobile wikipedia page, and sends you the URL for that page, then you too will see the same mobile wikipedia page when you follow the link. That's the whole concept of being "the same".
Why would any of this need cryto? If you trust the winery to hold the wine you could trust them to rule the exchange. Each bottle could still have a token. Values could still rise and fall. All stored on a central exchange. These tokens issued by a trusted entity could perform the same function and can be cashed out.

The key feature of cryto is around connecting trustless entities. Once you centralize on a physical product stored in a trusted location by a trusted party you lose point involving cryto. Who cares how secure the token is when the winery can switch labels?
Kind of horrifying, actually. Imagine some intelligent life discovered Earth and its primates and dropped us a calling card in a place we will only find when we're sufficiently advanced.
If you rely on a trusted entity (winery) you don't need a blockchain to do anything you just described.
Soft cores in FPGAs typically run at 100 MHz or less -- often 25 or 50 MHz for sophisticated OoO designs.

SiFive's December 2016 "HiFive1" had a 320 MHz 32 bit SoC with one in-order 32 bit core.

SiFive's early 2018 "HiFive Unleashed" had an SoC with five in-order 1.0 - 1.5 GHz (mine has worked stable at 1.45 GHz for 3+ years) cores.

This "HiFive Unmatched" has an SoC with five dual issue in-order 1.0 to 1.5 GHz cores (mine works fine at 1.5).

We're talking about 30 times faster MHz than an FPGA soft core would be.

SiFive have never not had "proper" SoCs. Their business is selling IP for people to use to make SoCs.

They provide early access to cores running on FPGAs at a small fraction of SoC speed to customers for evaluation purposes.
That cannot possibly be true since everyone starts out as an outsider and we know tribes form.
This isn't regular ignorance. At this point there is enough data on vaccines and death rates for any sane person to see that the vaccine is a net positive. What's going on with some people is more than just ignorance. They're killing themselves just to "own the libs". The virus doesn't care if you're republican or a democrat, it's just a biological replication machine, it has no political agenda or allegiance.
You should first establish yourself as a productive member of the team. No one is going to want to hear about how they could do things better from someone who just started. Once you have credibility and maybe some allies you'll want to have some evidence to support any new processes or workflows. Anecdotes about how you did things at other jobs won't carry a lot of weight.

The problem with software development techniques and tools like automated testing and style guides is that while they look like good ideas, and work at some places, there's not a lot of empirical evidence to support claims that automated tests will improve developer productivity or code quality.

Programmers usually perceive any new code base as crap in desperate need of new ideas and tools. It takes a while to get into a code base and really understand it, and by that time some things that seemed terrible or confusing at first will make sense.
At the very least it would be nice to have some alt text.
My mom tracked me with Life360 until I was 19.

Please don’t. Your children (especially if they’re almost adults) don’t deserve their privacy invaded and their data farmed. It’s the definition of helicopter parenting and there’s workarounds for it (trust me, I know). Wherever they want to go, they’ll find a way to fool the system.

Trust your young adults, people!
The question is can you really make it simultaneously cheap to trade and decentralized and always on. Or is the overhead of all that just make blockchain tech very awkward and suboptimal (especially since ultimately there's a centralized winery that honors the "claim" with actual wine - so no real need for decentralization). Instead why not just have a little centralized company that lets companies create ledgers of asset ownership for $300/month. If it's a real use case, any winery can sign up, etc.

Issue is blockchain tech doesn't actually solve anything

Having grown up in the South, I was raised on Duke’s, and it remains for me the only acceptable mayo. It’s the mayo that can convert mayo-haters to the light (my wife included among this number). I’m glad that they are now distributing it more widely so that I can now find it at all the local grocers here in Indiana. A summertime tomato sandwich with Duke’s is one of the truly sublime expressions of gastronomy.
This is it! Don’t use Life360, random calls are the best way to check up.
Of course I don’t know the LD50 of methanol, but I do know it’s quite close to whatever gives you the kick.
there aren't many reviewers of Libreoffice but they have had big improvements with regards to bug fixes in word compatibility in 7.2 and 7.3. has anyone done a up to date comparison because i have been daily driving libreoffice for many many years and it has come a long way recently.

i mean if i find a bug i report it but someone can do an honest review with say 7.3 beta even, that would be great for popularity because for me personally, LO does "99%" of the job and i am not the one who necessarily demands the .1% be fixed before i can port over.
An article from a bit ago to put approximate scale of the services - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/ethicallivingblog/20...

> Climate researchers say two Google searches emit 7g of CO2 – the same as boiling an electric kettle.

> ...

> If Wissner-Gross is correct then 3,500 tonnes of CO2 (500m x 0.000007 tonnes) are emitted every day through all of us performing Google searches. Or put another way, 1.28m tonnes a year. That's about the same as Laos emits each year, the 151st biggest emitting country in the world.

Compare: https://fortune.com/2021/11/06/offsetting-bitcoins-carbon-fo...

> All told, Bitcoin emits—by Forex Suggest’s estimate—some 57 million tons of CO2 annually, more than double Ethereum’s footprint. It’s noteworthy that for Bitcoin, all that energy generates a relatively low number of transactions. Because its distributed network is so slow, its users post only around 12,000 purchases, sales, and transfers on the blockchain each hour. That’s approximately 115 million transactions a year. By contrast, Ethereum handles over four times those volumes—devouring, once again, far less than half the juice. The result: Bitcoin deploys an incredible 707 kWh of electricity per transaction, 11 times as much as Ethereum, and emits 1,061 pounds, or half a ton, of CO2 every time you tap the app to buy a latte or zap a fraction to a buddy who beat you on a golf bet. Ethereum sends less than one-tenth of that carbon skyward for each purchase or transfer it processes.

----

So, roughly, bitcoin has a footprint that is ~45x larger than Google search.

Facebook is probably lighter than that, though that's only a "its probably lighter than that" guess.
Actually, yes I would classify decades of cigarette advertising and burying research into the risks of smoking as “misinformation”. So your analogy is pretty spot-on, just not for the reason you intended.
Aside from what Flankk suggested about being one with the tribe: while you're waiting for your tribal acceptance card, measure the problem in silence.

The change defect rate (how many percent of your commits are made to fix a problem introduced in an earlier commit) is very easy to sample manually, and gives you an idea of the scale of the problem.

Then you can go to the team and say, "Look, 40 % of the things we do are fixing up problems we created in the first place. With better processes in place, we could free up a lot of bandwidth for things that matter."

Or maybe you find out that you have a change defect rate of only 12 %, and the things you think are important, for some reason, don't matter in this team.

----

Measurements that complement the change defect rate for a fuller picture, according to Forsgren et al.

- Deployment frequency (literally, what's the average time between deployments to production)

- Time to fix (when a problem is first reported, how long does it take on average until the working fix is deployed to production?)

- Lead time (once a developer considers themselves "done" with the code, how long passes until that code is in deployed to production?)

The time to fix and change defect rate measure quality, so these are the ones you probably would focus on. The other two measure speed.
It doesn't matter whether any distinguishable group of people consume 90% of ICU resources. It is the job of the hospital to treat them regardless. Otherwise, that is discrimination. Nor is Covid a preventable disease, as even the vaccine very clearly does not prevent all hospitalizations or transmission. This is of course, not even mentioning the various mutations that are arising which I bet will no doubt cause the vaccine to be a yearly one like that for the flu. It is very clear right now that there are multiple vaccines available right now, but the fact that hospitals are not capable of handling this is a logistical joke.

You're right, it is a conscious choice to increase risk. I didn't say it wasn't. Just like it is a conscious choice to smoke, or to carry a gun in America. And in each case, there is indeed a fine line that needs to be drawn between their personal freedoms and those of the collective. But as far as I am aware, in none of these cases is the widespread systematic elimination of choice (of taking the vaccine, of opting to smoke, or owning a gun) the logical conclusion.
Find a new job. Don't try to fix cultures, you can't.
We're working on it! Demultiplexing the signal is tricky though.

Currently, labs have two main tools available - RT-qPCR and tiled amplicon sequencing. RT-qPCR provides cycle threshold (Ct) values which quantify the amount of virus RNA in a sample. RT-qPCR is not practical for finding and quantifying de novo variants as it relies on standard primer sets. Sequencing based approaches are less quantitative but provide more insight into the diversity of RNAs and mutations present in a sample - and thus which variants are present.

https://www.gisaid.org/hcov19-variants/ has a variant dashboard based on sequencing data, including Omicron. It's not as quantitative qPCR, but still may be of interest.
I'm a physicist, and I think FTL is easy to imagine. In fact, I think that if it's possible, it'll be here sooner than we think, like maybe four or five years ago.
I mean Python has all the functionality of curl (potentially, at least) and it has an Easter egg.

At the same time, I could see someone launching an attack with a module “this.py” that outputs the Zen of Python and also installs a back door.

Come to think of it, one of the nastiest problems in Python programming is keeping track of which modules are in the PYTHONPATH (“hmm why is ‘pytest tests/test_my_module.py’ throwing an import error?”)

Maybe Easter eggs are a bad idea?
during a delivery once, i caught a curb, flipped upside down on a bicycle, landed laptop down, bent the frame of my 2014 macbook pro, and the screen survived undamaged. still using the same laptop today, no issue. anecdotal evidence… is anecdotal.
You two are using different definitions of outsider. Parent is saying “one who has been labeled as other” and you are saying “a brand new entrant”.
I stand corrected then.

However, there is no "even" about it. They should control for age (as they purportedly did), or the results are probably meaningless.

I think it is deceptive that they emphasize the numbers which don't account for that, and I can't find the numbers they get after controlling for age.

One general strategy is to make a suggestion, allow it to be shot down, then start gathering data about why fixing the thing would help.

I operate at a very high level in an organization but in general I accept disagreement, keep track of what the outcome was, and if I was right decide if I want to revisit the issue with the new data. The best outcome is I was wrong and nothing needs to change, or second that I was right but the impact was small so the effort was unjustified. If it turns out I was seriously right, then we can start putting motions in place to fix the issue, and I get credit for voicing concern early. I hope to be wrong!
Rent a Boat and Jet Ski in Melbourne with Naborlee
The best part in renting a jet ski is that you can enjoy the activity without requiring you to have your own personal jet ski.
If you are on a vacation in Melbourne and would like to experience riding a jet ski or have ridden one several times, you should definitely consider renting.

Tales from the loop had so much promise. If only it had a narrative thread.
To add to what others have said, If they have blood relations that are willing to get sequenced you may be able to narrow things down by like looking for a recessive gene in both parents not shared by any siblings or otherwise looking at inheritance patterns.
> You can't just do the same strategy as someone else and expect to get ahead. You gotta place your bets on a different strategy.

No, you don't. Betting all on black is just a different gamble, and in my opinion a more risky one. But investors are ok with it because many prefer pure play gambles.

There's no law of nature saying that you have to zig when others zag. A big opportunity like clean energy has room for many winners.
I'm not denying the climate change, I'm embracing it! As for fires, it is obvious that 'green' practices stopping small forest fires result only in building up fuel and inevitable BIG fires. It is time to accept that forest fires are natural part of forest life cycle and that it is even advisable to do a profilactic burns form time to time.
