As far as this book claims, aside from being resilient and brave, Scott seems to have bungled his way through most of his life. The fatal expedition seems to have been a long string of bad decisions and underestimation.

I feel like the book is somewhat biased against Scott, but it also seems like he gets a lot wrong, compared to someone like Amundsen who really set the bar for Antarctic exploration and preparation.

Are you talking about how they unblinded the study after efficacy results started coming in?

>deaths and bad health due to inactivity

This is the next big story about the deleterious effect of lock-downs and masking and social distancing etc, after basically ruining a generation of education. Many are in the worst shape of their lives right now because they haven't been able to do their usual work-out routine at the gym. The knock-on effects of this won't be felt for a while, but they will be real. Ironically this makes otherwise healthy <65 year old people more at-risk for bad covid outcomes (albeit it's still exceedingly low risk, especially if vax'd).
I wasn’t aware of Europe’s laws but I meant outside of Europe too with European expats. Living in Asia currently and second hand smoke is a big part of my social life.
Sure. "Don't make it".
I find it incredible that people think the government does things like this "just because." It do so because its capitalist masters demand it. Of course this is lobbying driven. The government in a capitalist society exists almost solely to bring the agenda of lobbyists into the legislature by any means possible be it via cash contributions, manufacturing consent via the corporatist media, riling people up via the pulpit, fixing elections, demonizing unrelated minority groups, threatening or even attempting coups, blocking the teaching of certain subjects in school, assassination, etc.

Its incredible to me that there's an entire political identity that borderline denies any of this happens, and instead the government itself is somehow naturally corrupt but business and the lobbying and capital owning class are all angels and saints. Everyday conservatism buys into this fallacy fairly well and this dishonesty seems to be the core of libertarianism.

Explaining this concept to some people feels like how I would imagine explaining water to fish must be. We're just so surrounded by it and it defines so much of our culture, that you can fail to see if you choose. You can just call everything government corruption from cradle to grave without asking about the source and motivation of that corruption. You can swim your whole life and never wonder why you're wet.
Yep. You can also get it after being vaccinated.

Assuming that the protection of a previous infection is approximately equivalent to vaccination, then the GP’s question is spot on - after Omicron burns it’s way through the population, we will effectively be at “full vaccination”. At that point, what are we trying to contain?

Ambiq Apollo: There is a benchmark for these low power chips:

https://www.eembc.org/ulpmark/ulp-cp/scores.php

(click on the headers to sort..)

I think Apollo is the most general purpose of these chips, even though it no longer gets the top score. I assume the RSL10 is using its DSP, and the R7F0E01182CFP is Cortex-M0+ (no floating).

I used it for a project: the peripherals are really nice. For example, the I2C slave uses a shared memory design instead of waking up the CPU to receive anything.
Antitrust bill that bars Big Tech self-preferencing advances in Senate
Why not Trust, but Verify? Why wasn't there a central set of individuals requiring documentation for self-reported rates and sanity-checking them? I agree that the chain eventually comes down to trust somewhere but it seems like central banking has really lacked the transparency and checks and balances a system needs to stay consistent and trustworthy externally.

Here is how one might adhere to the so-called UNIX philosophy.

Utility #1: 580-character shell script to generate HTTP (NB. printf is a built-in)

Utility #2: TCP client to send HTTP, e.g., netcat

Utility #3: (Optional) TLS proxy if encryption desired, e.g., stunnel^1

1. For more convenience use a proxy that performs DNS name lookups. Alternatively, use TLS-enabled client, e.g., openssl s_client, etc.

Advantages over curl and similar programs: HTTP/1.1 pipelining

For the purpose of an example, the shell script will be called "post". To demonstrate pipelining POST requests, we can send multiple requests to DuckDuckGo over a single TCP connection. TLS proxy is listening on 127.0.0.1:80.

#! /bin/sh
(
y=Connection;n=0;while read x;do
x1=${1#*//};x2=${x1%%/*};x3=${x1#*/};
if test x$x3 = x$x2;then x3="";fi;
x=$(printf "%s" "${x%%=*}=";echo "${x#*=}");
printf "%s\r\n%s\r\n%s\r\n%s\r\n" \
"POST /${x3} HTTP/1.1" \
"Host: ${x2}" \
"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
"Content-Length: ${#x}";
if [ $n -gt 1 ];then
printf "%s\r\n\r\n%s\r\n" "$y: keep-alive" "$x";else
printf "%s\r\n\r\n%s\r\n" "$y: close" "$x";fi;
export n=$((n+1));
done;
if [ $n -gt 1 ];then
printf "%s\r\n%s\r\n%s\r\n" \
"GET /robots.txt HTTP/1.0" \
"Host: ${x2}" \
"$y: close";fi;

Based on personal experience as an end user, I find that using separate utilities is faster and more flexible than curl or similar program mentioned in this thread. For me, 1. storage space for programs, e.g. large scripting language interpreters and/or other large binaries, is in short supply and 2. HTTP/1.1 pipelining is a must-have. Using separate, small utilities 1. conserves space and 2. lets me do pipelining easily. I write many single purpose utilties for own use, including one that replaces the "post" shell script in this comment.
Apparently this was a matter of much debate, with further takes by (at least) Aristotle, Athenaeus, Oppian, Pliny and Plutarch:

> IMO Windows Phone was a superior alternative yet could not complete because the two incumbents were too entrenched.

Seriously? Windows Phone flopped because Microsoft couldn't get its act together. IE sucked and couldn't handle even mobile sites that iOS and Android had no problem with. The messaging and e-mail had anemic features. And Microsoft simply couldn't execute on a third party developer strategy.

For whatever interesting ideas the OS had it was a dumpster fire of execution. It didn't help them at all that Windows Phone 7 had no backwards compatibility with Windows Mobile so they burned anyone invested in that platform. They repeated the trick with Windows Phone 8 where Windows Phone 7 devices couldn't run 8. Being the third place platform and repeatedly burning your customers was just an asinine choice for Microsoft.

Windows Phone had interesting features and UI concepts. What killed it was Microsoft's absolutely terrible execution. It had little to do with Apple and Google being "entrenched". Microsoft wrapped a handful of interesting features or good hardware (Nokia phones) in layers of crap.

> modern music doesn't care about great singers is plainly false

So far, the counter-examples given of great singers turned out to be electronically manipulated to sound better.

C'mon. Post a link to a popular modern one with better tone than Whitney Houston, Karen Carpenter, Grace Slick, Madonna, David Cassidy, (I can name many more), and didn't electronically "enhance" their singing.

Good idea in theory, but maybe not Ann Frank please? It's not right to use her image that way.
I mean if you look at it like that, then yeah sure anything in TypeScript can ultimately be circumvented. Just like `unsafe` in Rust or `unsafePerformIO` in Haskell.

The point is that we as developers choose to respect the typechecker.
Just use iCloud. It allows you to setup custom domains no worries and give emails to everyone who’s included into your family plan. I’ve got two custom domains setup that I share with my wife.
It's a fair point. I didn't go back that far in the data set. I think the one major difference between the last 10 years and the.com era was the lack of viable business models in that time. I think the crypto ecosystem looks more like 2000 than the current software market because most of the software companies today worth billions generate hundreds of millions of revenue. Also, the interest rates within the last 10 years are going to be most similar to the ones that the FED is contemplating implementing over the next couple of years. The rates in the early 2000s were significantly higher in the 3-6% range. https://www.macrotrends.net/2015/fed-funds-rate-historical-c.... Last, the third trend that's important is just the volume of dollars going into venture Capital which is 20 times what it was during that period of time

Thanks for confirming the report. I'm curious - if you hand-wrote a URL on a piece of paper (or printed it out from a printer/displayed it on a different screen), and then scanned it with the camera, would the camera pick it up? Would the camera corrupt the URL?
Why would you want to encrypt your communication?

An easy example is you are going to China for business. You share some trade secrets in private and by tomorrow some factory is producing your new part.

Another example. You live in a cheap apartment. Your landlord wiresharks all communication over your internet connection and steals your private pictures

Why would you want to hide information from your government?

Maybe you are a journalist with a story on someone in power.

You could have been raped by a high powered government employee

You could be part of a minority who is being made into a villian in the current political climate.

You have rights for a reason. You need to make a case why we should give up those rights.

My friends who are left lane hoggers say this all the time. My response is "show me your badge." Because unless you have one, you're not authorized to enforce speed limits. If you want to call 911 and report the speeder in the left lane, fine. But if you want to drive in the left lane just because you like it over there, you're forcing people to pass you on the right (which is dangerous) and you're disrupting the normal flow of traffic (also dangerous). If you think it should be your job to hog the left lane to slow down speeders, join your local police department. Otherwise move to the right unless you're passing.
Thank you! How much power does it really use in practice? I haven't had the chance to test one myself. What does ULPMark-CPX of 705 mean? I assume it must be a measurement of some kind of computation per joule, since it's higher at lower voltages, but is the actual power consumption computable from it? Or is that only how much power it uses in deep sleep? Are those other chips also using subthreshold logic?

Maybe https://www.eembc.org/ulpmark/ulp-cm/scores.php is the actual power consumption used for computation (or rather vice versa: "number of CoreMark iterations a device can execute per milli-Joule" according to), which doesn't seem to include the Ambiq chips yet. I have the impression that a CoreMark is typically about 2 Dhrystone MIPS, which is not dimensionally compatible with the above.
I ran a regression of the CPI / inflation rate and its impact on the venture capital ecosystem both in terms of median round size and also total dollars invested and it's very highly correlated at north of 0.7
Only, you know, without List Processing. And seventeen things that test false. And all numbers being floating-point (except when optimized implementations fudgily pretend that small values are integers). And a switch statement that you have to put into a function in order to get a return value out of it (everything returns a value in Lisp). Maybe it's more of a Scheme in Algol clothing; not everything returns a value in Scheme.
Alternatively you can use Fastmail but I recentely moved from it to iCloud for consolidation purposes. Don’t get me wrong, Fastmail is absolutely awesome and I had great experience, I just wanted to consolidate.

> My students were taught to think of themselves as vectors of disease.

This is ridiculous. I have a four-year old and even she understands that masks are for her own protection and not because she is a "vector of disease". If her students feel that way, then they've been made to do so by their parents, teachers, friends, or somebody else.
I took the PMI PMP cert about 15 yrs ago. Cert tests are so hard for me. I zero in on the wrong answers. Meanwhile, my wife can do much as walk by me when I have the book open and she has the page memorized A WEEK LATER.
But my wife forced me to take the many PMI PMP flow charts and make copies of them. Then whiteout the text and make thirty copies of them. Then I had to wirk at filling in the blank flowcharts with the material I had to memorize.
It worked great.
The load balancer routes requests to all nodes. So each node will have some load (approximately 50% of the prescale load as I said)
First of all, this is a good and fair pushback.

But I’d respond that I chose secondhand smoke for a reason. I similarly doubt there’s any measurable impact of being around a smoker every once in a while, but the language around secondhand smoke got more and more hysterical leading up to the widespread implementation of smoking bans, to the point that it’s not uncommon today to hear people complain that walking near a smoker on a sidewalk outside is a risk to their health.

That’s basically absurd.

But the “no safe level of exposure” language has been used to justify such claims.

Finally, to be clear, even if you think this language is good and useful, there’s still utility in thinking about why that’s true, especially if hearing similar language about alcohol bothers you for some reason.
> Who was shaming children? local parents? government officials? I didn't see any of this shaming. In fact, where I live, more children were at the parks.

Here in Santa Clara County, our public health department demanded that play structures close down during the first lockdown order and many parks closed. It is the one part of the response that I thought was really stupid and lambasted at the time.

Afterwards, many parents were still anxious and didn't let their kids out.
It is so terrible. The UX is infinitely worse, not just the aesthetics of the huge bubbly corners, but also the menu systems and the pull-down notifications.

And honesty, it seems significantly buggier. My wife and daughter have noticed it on their phones as well. The keyboard frequently disappears while texting, and you can't get it back without exiting the program. Things freeze for longer.

Seriously regretting upgrading.
If you change Netflix's interface language you'll get access to more languages for both subtitle and audio tracks.

I suspect there's some estimation going on to figure out what languages someone is most likely to know given a certain interface language and location. This is a somewhat common annoyance language learners run into because it's not obvious that you need to go through these hoops to get access to the language you'd like to use.
It's been proven rather thoroughly though. Look at Kip Thorne's body of work. His book: Black Holes and Time Warps is accessible.

c0 is the speed of light only incidentally. It is the speed of causality first. You can warp spacetime but you can't change the speed limit.

You might think there would be a hypothetical way to cheat it from some unknown phenomenon, but then any occurrence of that phenomenon would destroy itself in zero time.
>We've seen how many organizations can barely limp through a "digital transformation", so why should we expect them to be operating anywhere near optimally along other axes?

This is a bad argument. Just because they do one thing poorly (in your opinion - no proof) that doesn't mean they're wrong about remote work. Quite ironic considering you called out the other commenter for bad arguments.

In any case, the proof as always is in the results, not internet arguments. If remote work produced better results at lower costs, more companies would adopt it. If remote work is not a competitive edge, then it probably doesn't matter in the larger scheme of things - IMO.
It isn't surprising that some countries would rather have an economy at the mercy of the unpredictable volatility of Bitcoin instead of having an economy at the mercy of the predictable actions of the IMF and the US government.

I could see that. There's been a transformation in top 10 companies in the last 20 years. They used to be consumer packaged goods and energy companies, and now they are technology companies.

Speaking of somebody who's very much pro technology, I think technology has improved the lives of billions of people, reduced information asymmetries, reduce the cost of goods and services, and provided more democratic access to lots of things, but there are some negatives.

Fwiw, all of information technology comprises about 10% of the US economy
Some days Mr. Market is euphoric will buy at any price; some days Mr. Market is depressed and thinks the world is end and sells for a song; most days Mr. Market is moderately optimistic. But what Mr. Market is willing to pay for your portfolio and what its actual value is are not the same thing. Focusing on the actual value is the important thing (note that the actual value can only be estimated). This pairs well with a long-term outlook. Warren Buffet says "my favorite holding period is forever".

If the swings bother you, investing in companies with dividends has the additional upside that they generally pay dividends regardless of the stock price.
>Canon will choose to make an insufficiently sized heatsink on its DSLR so that in video mode it has to shut down after 20 minutes so it can be classified as a camera and not a video recorder.

The camera will record indefinitely in 4K line-skipping mode, so that's not actually the reason they didn't put the heatsink on.

That reason is either incompetence or market segmentation.
