If we're talking about the PNW, it doesn't take a genius to look around and see nature alone manages to build towering long-lasting structures in that environment. Some of those redwood trees are older than the oldest buildings in the entire nation.

The desert's evolved long-lasting structures are shrub-sized and endure by retreating underground. Otherwise there's rocks.

I believe they would mostly correlate with each other, but doing it per hour driven would better surface things like tiredness playing a part (eg. that 5 mile commute back from work can take either 5 minutes in no traffic at 60mph, or an hour or more in heavy traffic — one has a different risk profile from the other).

Still I don't think it'd make for a practical difference as long as all the studies are including enough of both types of driving.

Toppling the federal government would be easier; people don't like that much, people however like Facebook.
If not, the defense contractor will subcontract to you and mark it up 4000% :)

Also, the government generally has policies that some % of things have to come from small businesses, sometimes they'll hire you just in order to check a box, I'd guess.

Nevertheless, if you can design an airplane seat, there are other customers than the air force.

Lots of niche machines are made by 3 or 4 people and sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars per unit, to farms, to factories, to anyone in business. Consumers will argue with you for a week over a $10 purchase, but people buying things to make money with won't bat an eye at $10,000.

There's a great big world out there and every hurdle doesn't have to be jumped, you can just walk around it half the time.
You're right, but simply because most of the population does not have PhDs.

I think it might be considered evidence, but CO2 levels vary quite a bit over time. Picture what would happen if we measured atmospheric bass on a planet over a few hundred years and saw that kind of swing in CO2.

Decidable radio signals on the other hand are far less ambiguous. I just can’t think of much that would be both detectable and a smoking gun.
I don’t think this is true. I think responsibilities pile up and/or the need to learn more is less. The physical ability to learn is probably hardly impacted.
Yes, because they are GABA agonists (like alcohol) and they generally are taken continuously.

This is precisely what I did. My OnHub was having issues about 18 months ago, so I did some research. I was mostly interested in getting a browser-based interface back, push security updates from the vendor, and buying from a company that had a good track record of treating customers well and supporting their products. I picked up the Synology and have been very impressed. It got my family through the pandemic scenario of four simultaneous video conference streams with 30+ participants each with flying colors. This is my third Synology product, and I have an extremely high opinion of them. The other two products are NAS products, and both have been just as bulletproof for me.

Latency is a thing, and newer networks have lower latency or are affected by other clients being slower (eg MIMO and improved channeling), though other ethernet devices can still have a big effect (eg remote server latency, dns latency, retransmissions).
This is the best answer. Don't just build what you know, use something you've already built (if you have it.) Maybe upgrade to the latest, first. And also: If you are trying to create a new business, go as boring as possible. Do you want to experiment with technology, or with business logic? Decide this up-front and if its business logic, go with boring, stable, mature, steady, proven. You can always create experimental services once the boring monolith business takes off.
> The number of octopuses in the wild are decreasing and prices are going up. An estimated 350,000 tonnes are caught each year - more than 10 times the number caught in 1950.

I don't think people are going to stop eating octopus anytime soon. So wouldn't it be prudent to preserve the wild population as much as possible? It seems to me the only way to accomplish this is raise them in large quantities.

According to Wikipedia:

> Octopuses have a food conversion efficiency greater than that of chickens, making octopus aquaculture a possibility.
The idea of taxes being a rent payed to live in society seems like it would be fairly consistent with not swapping military spending out for foreign aid.

It isn't obvious how giving money to the UN is going to contribute to a better society for a given taxpayer. The UN isn't really an executive body, it is a diplomatic mission to try and stop governments fighting each other without a bit of discussion beforehand.

If I am paying rent for the privilege of living in a society, someone can reasonably demand that rent spent on something they recognize as part of their society as opposed to propping up competing societies. Society needs a physical fighting force to guarantee its integrity & it is unclear why a 2% reduction is deemed better than the current trend. I'm doubting that current trend even keeps up with the rate of money printing.
You are right, both types are essential! Neither can thrive without many of the other :) Cooperation is the human superpower.
Taken down by the government?

Id be surprised if the military is bothered by this. I have nothing to do with military etc but assume China/Russia have high res satellites taking photos/scans across airbases on a regular basis and have much better quality to investigate the technology than a google sat image.
I learned accounting as a CS student and did it for a few years for volunteer organizations that were too small to consider professional services. The order I learned things was probably very different from how accounting is taught in schools, but it was appropriate for someone with my background.

From my point of view:

Elementary accounting is just a simple formal system. If you are used to formal reasoning, you can learn it in a few hours.

Basic accounting is all about the way of thinking. You learn the data model implied by the system and the key concepts behind it. You learn about things you are supposed to model within the system and how to accomplish that. And you learn about reporting, because nobody wants to see your low-level data. They want various views to the data based on richer data models. The accounts used in reporting are rarely the same as the ones used in accounting.

Intermediate accounting is about applying those basic principles in a specific regulatory environment. A lot of confusion about accounting arises when people try to jump directly from the elementary model to the specific requirements without first understanding what they are trying to accomplish and why.

> A pure function will return the same value for the same arguments every time.

Yes, and given the same outputs provided by props + hooks, components will return the same value. That's why you can write hooks functionally, and why we can do away with class-based functions entirely. With the exception of refs, there is no actual internal state that your component needs to deal with.
But they didn’t even do the engineering work, right? The design was a copy of a 1960’s Fiat which was then never updated for 40 years.

This wasn’t a deliberate, careful choice by Gosplan to pick a car that would work well given the primitive state of the Soviet economy. Those crappy rust buckets were the best design that they could buy and implement from someone else.

There is occasionally weird nostalgia (or something like it) for certain aspects of the Soviet period and I do not get it at all!

I’ve had a similar concern regarding mental health through NDIS in Australia. There seems to be a requirement for a diagnosis in order to receive care through the NDIS (mental health care system).

Which results in practitioners giving a diagnosis immediately based on “I think you might have this, so let’s connect you with a psychologist/etc to dig deeper and find out”.

That’s simply the bureaucratic path through the system.

But my concern is that patients looking for an answer hear, and identify with, “I have xxxx, that explains it!!”

When you also take into account that some symptoms are comorbid, and may entirely disappear upon the underlying issue being resolved or managed.

And that’s just the bureaucratic incentives. I’m unclear on the professional & revenue incentives for diagnosis and referral to other professionals, possibly within the same umbrella organisation.

I don't/can't watch videos.

I have a master's in this stuff and I'm pretty sure what I said is a fair description of the experiment in question; if you think something is different about it then be specific.

The problem is that, as a product, it's just not built to be sustainable with zero effort.

The phone apps end up having to keep up with the underlying android+ios stacks' ever changing details, but even worse are the cloud services that help make the app -> router connection seamless, with the need to keep up with the ever-ongoing churn required to run binaries on Google's servers (aka "in Production").

To give an idea of how much churn is required to run binaries "in Production", there is a 6 month build horizon enforced across the company to ensure that all teams keep up with the underlying churn (changes to security, rpc, filesystems, monitoring, libc, etc). Running binaries older than that is verboten. The reasoning is that teams building the underlying components would never get a chance to upgrade / turndown down-versions/ down-compatibility.

Supporting these products means requiring staffing the role of keeping these services running from both dev+ops perspectives.

It sounds crazy but the system is designed to build "at scale" rather than to be built "sustainably". Dealing with this ever ongoing churn is the typical life of a Google engineer building "in prod". The model works well with a healthy CI/CD (albeit still a waste of time to deal with mandated churn), but falls apart quickly when staffing is removed.
Depends on the material I'd say. Large temperature swings like common in the desert certainly don't help. Wind/sand abrasion could also be an issue. But in general you're right, desert climates can be good for preserving things. The only thing better would probably be a permanent ice cover.

Military spending has roughly doubled since 2000, both globally and in the US.

Globally military spending has been driven by massive increases in Asia. In the US, spending shot way up after 9/11/01 and kept increasing until the end of the Iraq War in 2011. Since then, it's been down then up and overall flat for about 10 years.
Large countries are a very modern invention. Currently the only area outside of any countries is Antarctica but our ancestors had a real choice here and countries won at least until the “winners” became capable of large scale conquest.

The modern equivalent of moving outside a city for lower taxes still exists. It’s not framed as a willingness to pay more taxes but rather as access to better schools or parks etc. Still once again people are choosing to pay taxes for access to what taxes provide.

Presumably the idea is that lots of things that you basically have to use C++ for today because C alone is weak could be served by Zig instead, not that Zig and C++ are comparable languages.
That's like saying "ugh Python's become JQuery because XXX function is not part of the standard library." You seem to be upset that people are building more useful primitives using the hooks paradigm?

React deliberately ships with only a few hooks, more or less the fundamental ones that you cannot yourself implement. They left the rest up to the community to explore, because it is very difficult to predict how a new paradigm will be used. Hooks isn't just useState and useEffect, hooks are a way of writing reactive logic.

It is very impressive that the community is able to produce new tools that simplify annoying problems like managing asynchronous state with just a single function, in a way that can be more-or-less dropped into any existing component.
Probably, although by then you could get op amps and flip-flops as ICs. A 555 timer is two comparators, a flip-flop, an inverter, and a power transistor. If you have those building blocks, you can make one easily.
Which is just a scapegoat problem, shifting the mind away from the original problem - disposable containers creating large amounts of waste that mostly end up in landfills, or worse, scattered in nature.

Are there really sites undisturbed enough for you to see how they did repairs or disposed of their trash? That sounds amazing.

SW-America is definitely on my bucket list and I love ghost towns. In Western Europe it's hard to find any abandoned place older than a couple of years that's preserved well. I guess it's because the next city is never very far and there's always uncultured idiots whose idea of fun it is to vandalize places for no reason.
That's not true of JACK, and it would be both a shame and little bit silly if Blackhole hasn't learnt from JACK's design. JACK doesn't use a pattern of server->client->server->client->server, each client wakes up the next one, so the pattern is server->client->client->client->server, with zero additional latency.

Not really, you're just trading one kind of downtime for another. You're not gonna get much meaningful improvement unless you implement actual redundancy. Docker makes this a giant PITA because they want you to use docker.io.

Classic Libertarian argument. Government has a legal monopoly on the use of force that they employ to obtain tax revenue. The proof of the statement lies in what happens if you don't pay taxes. Eventually, someone with guns will place you in custody or garnish your wages or seize your property.

So, a refrigerator consumed 500kWh/year in 2010, compared to 2000kWh/year in 1972[1]. By 1944, 85% of households in USA already owned a refrigerator[2]. Refrigerator volume has also remained almost constant in the last 50 years. I don't think the paradox holds up in the case of refrigerators.

I think Materialize is a wonderful product for what it is, but is somewhat narrow. At the very least I'd love if it started to incorporate window functions as well as just lateral queries though. A gap in the market that I'd like to see filled is stateful stream processing where you care about sequences of events. Kafka Streams removes the need to care about windows and watermarks, for example, so you can accommodate extremely late data in a simple aggregate, but no frameworks that I'm aware of make it easy to work with state machines over sequential data where events in that sequence might arrive or be updated later. Give me the illusion of being able to run forward-only logic over an entire historical dataset on every update, while remaining fast, and I'd be a very happy camper.
