I have played Devil's Advocate for this statue numerous times over the last year or so. My understanding of Roosevelt is that he was not a racist, and that the statue depicts an incredibly important aspect of his great life. He was a blue blood Ivy League elite from New York, but he was drawn to nature and working class challenges and that largely defined him. Before being president he tried to live in Dakota Territory but for the most part failed. However, he experienced the difficulties and challenges of living in the "wild" which was something not necessary for a young wealthy man from one of New York's most respected families. Then many years later he took a very dangerous and ill advised expedition to the Amazon in collaboration with the museum from where the statue was later placed. He learned a lot on that expedition, and we can learn from the record of his experiences there.

Without his difficult and challenging experiences in Dakota, Cuba, Amazon, etc, Roosevelt would have just been an ordinary Ivy League millionaire learning about common people and exotic lands from books in his Oyster Bay library. Instead he put himself out there due to whatever motivations he had, and it put him in touch with working people and nature, and these experienced directly impacted his career. He was considered a leader in worker's rights and natural preservation. His presidency prioritized conservation and established the national parks. As president he met with African American leaders even though his decision to host such people in the White House was incredibly unpopular in the racist press. He had survived Dakota and San Juan Hill, so he was not afraid to be an advocate and ruffle feathers.

In light of him not being an proponent of racism, I think the statue can fairly be interpreted as Roosevelt's greatness coming in large part due to his association with people of different races and classes. As a Progressive, he moves in the right direction thanks to his association with the others depicted in the statue. Of course the statue is more than a little crude in depicting this since it was made by people who didn't really experience Roosevelt's life or maybe care to consider it. I think keeping the statue in the public space can offer us the opportunity to discuss and debate its meaning, and Roosevelt's importance to the museum and to the United States. However, that opportunity is now gone since the statue will be moved into hiding.
Sure; we look forward to your patches (keep in mind that they must preserve compatibility and portability to all currently supported architectures).
It's possible that this project was created as a sort of L8+ engineer/manager retention program. There's been some reporting that high level execs have been leaving GAMMA companies for blockchain/crypto projects with high payout potential[1]. I wonder if Google is heading in this direction to toss these people a bone with the hopes they'll stay.

Virtually every other language has a stable ABI and dynamically links the standard library, so if you have a vulnerability in the standard library, update it and you're good to go. With Rust, you need to also recompile every program and other library on the system that uses std, which is likely all of them.
I think that is the idea, but it doesn't work in practice because, well people. Really useful electronics are harder to get or have been hard to get, but yet if I wanted to buy my daughter a twerking llama toy, I'd have no issue with acquiring one of those. A little more meaningful example, we grow pistachios (a water intensive crop), in a place with limited access to water (desert areas of California) and have been doing that for years and years. Seems like if the market just naturally achieved efficiency, you'd grow water intensive crops in places that were not constrained on the resource.

I took that as the point of the article, we don't know enough to say whether it's safe or dangerous, so let's pause and study it "for real this time".

This article sounds like it's the opinion of the 240 scientists that are calling for the study though, not an uninformed journalists opinion.
Thanks a lot.

> What growth metrics did Tiny look at?

I assume you mean during the application process. So they asked just the basic stuff, MRR, growth, churn. We were at $1k5 MRR when we applied and $3k when we got it. I think what worked for us during the process was that Kevin had been running a small Java web scraping blog + book at that time.

Reading uninitialized memory is not UB... but anyway. Here's an example of how compilers treat null dereferencing as UB:

void func(struct x *aptr, struct x *bptr) {
x->a = 5;
y->a = 10;
x->a = 10;
}

This is a contrived example but you can imagine writing code that makes a sequence of assignments like this. An optimizing compiler can remove the "dead store" which assigns 5 to x->a. However, this optimization is valid because writing to a null pointer is undefined... if writing to a null pointer trapped (SIGFAULT), which is what it actually does at runtime, then the optimization would be incorrect... because you could observe the intermediate value of x->a = 5.

The compiler is not really "detecting that your program has undefined behavior". Instead, it is assuming that undefined behavior doesn't happen, and optimizes your program using that assumption. It's unclear what "detecting undefined behavior" would mean here... what kind of diagnostic the compiler should emit, or how to suppress the diagnostic. It's clear that this simple code is pervasive, and the preferred approach for dealing with it is somewhat outside the scope of a normal C compiler... something like static analysis, runtime instrumentation, or some kind of formal methods.
If you need something portable while walking around the house, I recently bought this rechargeable heated vest for my wife https://fieldsheer.com/products/summit-vest-women-s# who hates the cold. She LOVES this vest, wears it every evening. This was possibly my most successful gift in our 12 year marriage.

And I don't mean to keep promoting this brand but I've got their heated ski gloves too and they're amazing. I was night skiing and saw that one of the ski patrol ladies had a lit LED on her gloves. I asked her what that was and he told me it was this: https://fieldsheer.com/collections/womens/products/storm-glo... (wait, I wear women's gloves?) They're fantastic, I wore them skiing in 10ºF Vermont weather from 9am to 3pm on low heat. The batteries died around 3ish but I had hand warmers after that.

In thinking aloud about this issue, I'm uncertain whether there's a solution other than to make AirTags costly or single-use:

A. I lose my AirTag-equipped item in/on your bag/car/person.

B. I “lose” my AirTag-equipped item in/on your bag/car/person.

These are indistinguishable from one another without outside intervention. By making them expensive, Apple could raise the barrier to entry but would not stop someone from pursuing a “high value” stalking subject.

Conversely, by making them single-use (e.g., I can only activate “lost mode” once and when I do, both Apple and the person who finds it are given my information to facilitate a return), it might deter would-be stalkers.
Hot water bottles are very popular in the UK for three main reasons that don't really translate to the US:

* Every household has an electric kettle

* Kettles boil very quickly (due to power differences)

* Most households have radiator-style heating, which takes much, much longer to heat up a room than US-style forced-air heating
There's work on prion disease treatment being done led by the extremely impressive Sonia Vallabh and her husband. https://www.broadinstitute.org/bios/sonia-vallabh

Are you... asking me to explain what the Bitcoin folks were thinking when they claimed they were creating a viable peer-to-peer electronic cash system? Sorry, you'll have to ask them that. About 80% of what cryptocurrency advocates claim to believe seems unrealistic to me. But given that they published that paper in 2008, I suspect punch cards were not what they had in mind.
I can understand why this is the case. There are no social norms for accepting tips. How do you split it? What do you do if other servers ask what you did with the money? It would be shameful to accept this if the social norms prohibit any sort of tipping.
Hunter gatherers spent 10-20 hours per week getting food - which was their work. I'm not sure where you are located but I spend 1hr/wk getting groceries. There are certainly parts of the world where people still walk miles for clean water but that's not most of the industrialized nations.

I'm not arguing that people work less, I'm saying humanity now has more "free" time to produce technology/innovate. In regards to the west, the lower classes do not get the benefits of this - but the upper class or researchers absolutely do get the benefit of not having to hunt and gather for food.
Could you you explain your position here more fully? I'm a C programmer mostly in the "portable assembler" camp, and I don't see why insisting on out-of-bound writes to be performed prevents compilers from keeping local variables in registers. I think the difference might be your use of the word "reliably".

I don't think anyone in my camp is insisting that the results be reliable in the sense you seem to take for granted. What we want is for the compiler to attempt to do what it's instructed to do, without eliding code based on counterfactual reasoning that assumes the absence of undefined behavior. In the absence of an explicit read that is being ignored, we're generally fine with cached values of local variables being out of date.

Maybe you could give an example that makes your point more clearly, and we can see if we actually disagree?

You're doing the same thing you are criticizing your straw-person leftists as doing.

As a leftist, it is quite easy to critique her ideas in good faith: she disdains anyone who doesn't confirm to her idea of "productive", abhors the poor, and deifies the upper class as being the ultimate model of humanity. And that's not even being reductive.
One of the things we try to do is keep PRs from getting too big. No standard on what is big or small, but just a general feeling that this is going to take someone more time than normal to review. The person who submits the PR usually lets others know when they know it's large to plan the time. Another thing we do is to take discussions off-line so we can resolve issues quickly (over Zoom or in-person) rather than having long threads. This way, the submitter can explain the code and answer questions quicker. Sometimes there's no way around a big PR, but part of the PR feedback (if the submitter hasn't acknowledged it yet) is that this PR is pretty huge to encourage folks to submit in more digestable chunks.

Comments in this sub-thread need to distinguish between two dimensions to a signature: is it capable of legally binding the signatory? In most cases, any format will do. Is it going to be easy to enforce (I.e., to prove it was you that signed, and not your dog headbutting your mouse?) That's a damn sight harder, and many forms of (legally valid!) E-signature might not be accepted for that reason. Depends how much assurance is needed in the circumstances.

It does, but you have to enter a digit first (0 is fine) in order to see the decimal point button.
The straightforward and cynical answer is that the people funding these things have basically unlimited money, at least for practical purposes, but as with everyone alive, they have limited time. Therefore it's a perfectly rational trade to give up even a substantial percent of their money in exchange for even the possibility of more time (especially because if you have a lot of money, more time means you can turn it into even more money).

But also, while a lot of the headlines are about living longer, the research is largely about treating aging as a disease, or at least a cause of diseases like Alzheimer's, etc. Even if you don't actually extend human lifespan, you keep people healthier much longer, which among other things has enormous economic value (people don't required as much expensive medical treatment and can continue to be productive for longer).

You can cast literally any optimization into this shape. For starters, virtually any optimization pass requires sane assumptions about (absence of) data races and/or out of bounds writes. The point you are arguing (or claiming OP argued) boils down to "compilers behave as I want when I turn all optimization passes off".

No, the OP wrote specifically that "the compiler detects [UB]" and then does optimizations exploiting that. Not "detects potential UB". The former is a common misconception, the latter is basically a truism.

This is such a confusing attitude along a number of axes.

1. Science isn't there so we shouldn't spend billions yet.

Maybe spending billions can advance the science sufficiently?

2. There is a "there" to get to.

People regularly spend millions in healthcare costs to live a few extra years. What is the "there" that we're imagining? Would someone with >$100B not spend $1B to live 10 more years? You don't need a fountain of youth, just more time in a not-terrible state of health to be worth all this investment and more.

3. There is a there to get to.

This isn't like the discovery of fission. It might take a dozen different interventions to provide another decade of life to an individual, or a disjoint set of a dozen interventions to provide another decade of life to people in general. One discovery probably won't cut it, and that's ok.

Looking at the picture someone else posted - knowing almost nothing about Roosevelt, it just looks like a dude on a horse with a native american + uhm....a black man following in tow. Almost like he owns them both.

>>I think the statue can fairly be interpreted as Roosevelt's greatness coming in large part due to his association with people of different races and classes

I don't see that at all. If it was maybe a stute where(for example) he is sitting down and they are both behind him holding him by the shoulder - sure. As-is the statue looks like he's above them.

Again, this is just how I felt seeing it for the first time. Maybe reading up on Roosevelt I'd see it differently, but I imagine lots of people coming into the Natural History museum don't know the details and that's the first thing they see. I'm generally against removal of any and all statues, but this one just feels sour in my mouth for some reason.

While there may very well be a higher proportion of college students in front-of-house jobs, the idea that that's the majority of such people is similar to the idea that minimum-wage jobs in general are "for teenagers", and thus shouldn't need to provide a living wage.

They all need better pay, but tipped minimum wage being lower is a further travesty (even with the provision that they have to take home at least minimum wage at the end of each day), regardless of what percentage of college students make up that workforce.
