The fact that there exist articles like this one should already answer your question.
I don't really consider money going from my pocket, to Egypt, then to the US military industrial complex as "staying in the US." My taxes should go to things that benefit me and other regular citizens, not war profiteers.

Free will, as physicists talk about it, essentially means that my choice to perform some experiments is independent of the state of the system I'm experimenting on.

In other words I want it to be true that looking at the system doesn't tell you anything about when / whether I'm going to be performing experiments on it today, and more specifically I don't want you to be able to predict which measurements I'm going to do based on the system alone (i.e. without asking me).

This notion of free will is (as far as I can tell) completely necessary in order to meaningfully do physics at all.
As someone not involved in the field, I have always gotten the impression that all the major questions are settled, the processes are understood and that the work being done by active astronomers is really only at the margins, fleshing out the details in a word. And I think that's a view often promoted by scientists and the popular press, for the reasons that we have gained a tremendous understanding of the univers over the past 500 years, heck over the past 50 years, and no one wants to focus on talking about what we don't understand.

And then you see stuff like this and Oumumamua and its exciting and interesting and then you begin to realize that there's tons of stuff we really have no idea about, that at best we can make plausible explanations and try to rely on Occam's Razor and parsimonous assumptions.

I wish there were more of this because I find it delightful and inspiring.
Not all projects are of the same duration or complexity. Most of the features get developed in a 2 week sprint, but from time to time, there are projects that take a month or so. When there are multiple teams with different working schedules, feature flags add a lot of value during deployments and reduce the dependencies on other teams. The business/product benefits that arise from feature flags are equally valuable.

How much emergent behavior arises from the model? The only passage I see describing any of it is this one:

> The model showed that the cell dedicated most of its energy to transporting molecules across the cell membrane, which fits its profile as a parasitic cell.

Whether it mimics the behavior of real cells seems like the right test. We'll never be able to get it to parallel the outcome of a real system, thanks to chaos theory. But if it does lots of things that real cells do -- eating, immune system battles, reproduction -- we should be pretty happy.
If someone doesn’t like Apple‘s system, there are at least dozens of different phone manufacturers to choose from. Anti-trust laws are written to bust monopolies, which Apple doesn’t fit the definition of in any way, shape, or form. It is a bad-faith misinterpretation/misapplication of Anti-trust laws. Just because they are a popular choice doesn’t mean that users have no other choice. If you think they are a monopoly it means you think users are forced to use their product and have no other choice. How can anyone say with a straight face that users have no other choice but to use Apple? It’s just objectively incorrect.

Speaking of anecdotes, I grew up in Pittsburgh, later lived in Ohio, then Michigan. Ohio roads were pothole city and I always thought Michigan roads were good.

I now live in North Carolina and the roads around here are pretty crap. Shoulders either non-existent or crumbling off from rain erosion. Not many pot holes however since we don't see much freeze/thaw compared to Ohio.
I doubt that's a realistic solution for 99+% of the population. I've long used Linux exclusively on laptops/desktops and in the past I've been a Linux/Unix sysadmin but I have no idea how to go about getting a smartphone that runs Linux and works with the major carrier services or how much it would cost.

Even getting root on an Android phone is far from trivial.
The last time I looked into the possibility of rooting the cheap Android phone I have I couldn't find any evidence that there was a known way to do it.
The great startup reset: Why founders should prepare for lower valuations
Invisible machine-readable labels that identify and track objects
In my part of the USA, there are no laws outlawing walkable neighborhoods. Small, convenient commercial space is not banned. However, renting or leasing a small shop space in our quaint, cute, walkable downtown is _expensive_. It is cheaper for a business owner to rent space in the malls, most of which are located outside city limits, not subject to city tax, and much cheaper to lease a storefront in. All the malls, the Wal-Marts, the strip-mall-shopping-centers full of big-box stores, they are all built outside city limits, because there is far less red tape, less taxes, etc. The cute downtown wanted to preserve their old-fashioned cuteness all through the 80s and 90s, and they did so. The result is that everything went just outside of town for a long time, and the downtown stores slowly lost more and more business to the big boxes as more and more residents who live downtown drove their cars outside town to shop, and eventually began to move to new developments outside of town.

Lot of talk about the Federal government need to step into a city and manage the bridges.

Cities have (often highly) paid inspectors to do just that, inspect bridges and make recommendations, and issue warnings. As noted by PascLeRasc et al. the degradation of the bridge has been reported to the city.

As for funding through Federal government, my experience has always been:

The resident pays their Federal tax. The Fed takes their administrative cut.

Fed allocates remaining funds to the State. The State takes their administrative cut.

State allocates remaining funds to the City (or county). The city takes their administrative cut.

City allocates remaining funds to contractors to fix the bridges.

Put it in an other way, humans value things exponentially more when their own sweat went into the things, than if it was just given to them. By coming at State level, residents have a closer connection and understanding where the money came from, and would demand higher accountability.

Just my opinion.
A/B testing can be done with feature flags. Gradual rollout, specific customer opt-in, and so on.

This is the really scary part. Given PGH's geography, it is nearly impossible to travel through the city in an efficient way without crossing a bridge.

Yeah, the lack of the page does hamper things greatly. I'm sorry again that this happened.

If my Heavy Metal community A disappears overnight, chances are people will simply jump over to Heavy Metal community B rather than start looking for 'fediverse' stuff (I don't even know what that is, to be honest, and I doubt many of my subscribers would either)...

My hope for you is that you and your fellow community members can in fact continue - whether it is on something like Heavy Metal community B, etc. Obviously, your call if you are or not interested in researching other options like the fediverse...Although, you (and other community members) should start thinking of plans for what to do if another hacking incident happens.

I disagree. When Reddit, Quora, Medium, Twitter started, they have posed themselves as privately owned public spaces, much like Wikipedia. This was the 'social' contract they presented to users.

They built their monopolies on top of the goodwill of users. I'm pretty sure that subject matter experts who wrote extremely long-winded and well-researched articles on Roman battle tactics, did not do so with the intent, that some nebulous internet money-man could charge $5/month in the future to view the articles they wrote for free.

All these internet companies are essentially engaging in rent-seeking behavior, but are trying to boil the frog only slowly, so they don't get swept away by the tides of user discontent.
I'm sitting here with a baffled look, unsure whether to laugh, so I'll ask: are you joking or serious? I've never been to New Jersey, but I've never heard anything to suggest it's inspiring, technologically or otherwise.
30s is indeed a painful age to reach. There's a reason many celebs have checked out at 28/29. 30s is so depressing that no matter what you achieve it's like well it's expected or it's so late so no one is impressed.

- Made a great company. Big deal, he's in his 30s.

- Cured cancer. Pfft. Einsted redefined relativity at 26.

- Booked a trip somewhere. Checking off yet another goal off of the bucketlist.

- Built a great body. Well he's just desperately trying to hold on to youth.

Here is my classification of the "Realtime-ness" levels:

- Batch

- can be emulated with micro-batch
- Realtime
- Near Realtime (response time low enough for Human to not notice, e.g. Chat, Push Notifications, etc.)
- Soft Realtime (guaranteed response time for most requests)
- Hard Realtime (guaranteed response time for all requests)

> Essentially you need a motorized dish which tracks and counteracts boat movements the entire time it's active.

Not at all true with Starlink, it uses a phased array antenna to aim the beam at the satellite; everything happens in software. What _is_ needed is an accelerometer which can "know" the boat's movement and then adjust its aim based on that. Seems like they're not quite there yet, but there's no reason this can't work.
I think this is how it works in plain English: he bought the option to buy 200 * 100 TSLA shares at $1000 on or before the 28th (call options are always done in batches of 100). He paid $481k for this option. So he stood to make $20000 for every $1 that the stock price went above $1000. So I think he needed the price to go to $1024 to break even.

TSLA closed around $830 yesterday, so there is little chance of it getting to $1000 or above today, hence he lost basically everything. The $30K odd amount in the current market value is probably just a reflection of some people hoping that the stock price will bounce back today, but it's very unlikely.
This is the type of stuff that concerns me heavily. As I drive across bridges or walk across them, I'm always wondering about who checks up on them. I always try to convince myself that someone is and that there's followups to things. I think when I was younger, I always assumed that someone was taking care of things, and then as I get older, I found out no one really is.

I wonder if there's a tipping point for American infrastructure and institutions, just like there will be with climate change. There's only so much you can push growth, tax breaks for the wealthy, corruption, etc. and not see eventual repercussions.

Both Chernobyl and Bhopal were orders of magnitude more catastrophic than anything the US has seen. Now, given how the US maintains infrastructure, it's only a matter of time for that statement to become outdated.
Well, they do: they create processes that are run on a state machine, of sorts; the problem is that we often don’t codify things in that manner.
That response seems a bit too dismissive when the entire OP is about how recycling capacity/capability for these items is sorely lacking. Many things that are much easier to recycle, for which the technology to do so already exists, are in fact not recycled because it's not economically viable. Why would it be any easier for items full of volatile and/or toxic components? Responses which amount to "magic it away" without even addressing the question of how to solve or avoid the various technological and economic problems are incurious and non-constructive.
> Which is still an extremely low risk, affecting a relatively small part of the population.

You're looking at it through the individual lens again. The chances of an individual winning the lottery in any year are near zero, but the chances of there being some lottery winner in any year are near 100%. The chance of any one car trip resulting in an accident are extremely low, yet we still wear a seat belt consistently because the long term chances of an accident are high even if we are careful drivers---we rightly fear the consequences of an accident without a restraint. And the cigarette example, which is only a "far cry" if you grossly underestimate all the cumulative risks associated with climate change.

Simply handwaving away the death toll from insect-borne infection because they don't affect you personally doesn't make them any less real. And of course those aren't the only climate related risks. Drought, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, tornados and blizzards are all correlated with increasing thermal energy in Earth's atmosphere. Something we should rationally fear and actively work to mitigate.
Much harder to hide in your backpack, though, when you're entering a school, mall, or church.
Tooling is better at large corps, they will teach you how to build things at scale. Autonomy is greater at startups, they will teach you to do everything yourself.

At a large corp, if you don't like the tooling, it sucks because changing it is akin to pushing against a mountain (doable but you will burn an insane amount of time and value doing so). At a startup, there's the instability and the nagging feeling that what you cobbled together could have been done better "if you just had more time."

It's a tradeoff between autonomy and institutionalization, and that really comes down to personal choice. Some of the best roles are where you can exercise your autonomy in a large organization (within bounds).
If you have a fancy 4K TV and a decent sound system with Atmos which you want to take advantage of then you really should be buying physical media instead of streaming... I mean, if you went beyond having a sound bar, and ran wires for surround speakers with a proper home theater amplifier.

Streaming platform usually only give you 5.1 on EAC3 (DD+), on UHD Blu-rays you get 7.1 over TrueHD, and then you get Atmos on top of both of those, and Atmos over TrueHD is more Atmosy or something (besides obviously TrueHD being lossless while EAC3 is lossy.)
Or they just oppose doing anything at all. Plenty of condos are in a similarly extremely dilapidated condition because the owners never want to pay for anything.

SARS-CoV-2 has intricate mechanisms for initiating infection, immune evasion/suppression and replication that depend on the structure and dynamics of its constituent proteins. Many protein structures have been solved, but far less is known about their relevant conformational changes. To address this challenge, over a million citizen scientists banded together through the Folding@home distributed computing project to create the first exascale computer and simulate 0.1 seconds of the viral proteome. Our adaptive sampling simulations predict dramatic opening of the apo spike complex, far beyond that seen experimentally, explaining and predicting the existence of ‘cryptic’ epitopes. Different spike variants modulate the probabilities of open versus closed structures, balancing receptor binding and immune evasion. We also discover dramatic conformational changes across the proteome, which reveal over 50 ‘cryptic’ pockets that expand targeting options for the design of antivirals. All data and models are freely available online, providing a quantitative structural atlas.
Curious that the Belarusian Cyper-Partisans are mentioned as an example of an authentic group, given their demands[1]:

- Release of the 50 political prisoners who are most in need of medical assistance.

- Preventing the presence of Russian troops on the territory of #Belarus.

As for the first demand: How are these people to know which 50 political prisoners are most in need medical assistance? Doesn't that make it very easy for the government to release 50 political prisoners that it doesn't care much about anyway? This is what makes me suspicious that the second demand is the "real" one. Wouldn't a real opposition group prioritize freeing all political prisoners - their friends and comrades - over removing foreign troops?

Some ridiculous number of the population, like 90%, depend on gov paychecks. The politicians grow and grow the dependency, make promises to get elected, increase the debt, inflate the money, get caught stealing garbage bags worth of it while in office and it goes on and on until it collapses and the same bs recets. Each time more and more smart honest people flee, brain drain, and the ones left behind become poorer, more entrapped, more dependent.

Argentines are seeking refuge in the blackmarket dollar, but that will eventually be a risk as well.
Our daughter is using Ortho-K lenses. She's been wearing them for about 10 months now and they are very good. They are more 'myopia control' than fixing the underlying issue, but it means she can do sports etc without worrying about glasses (she's still little).

For the uninitiated (as I was), they are hard plastic lenses that are worn at night.
Initially the optometrist will take a variety or measurements of the eye and then a pair of lenses is manufactured. They are thicker than the standard disposable lenses and take a while to get used to and can be uncomfortable for a few weeks until you adjust to them. They work by shaping the outer part of the eye during sleep, when removed in the morning the outer part of the eyes have retained the shape from the lenses. Light entering the eye is then bent correctly and vision is almost 20/20.

If she was to stop wearing them her eyes would return to her standard myopic level, but hopefully not be any worse than before.
Why are you assuming I'm taking a stance here? I didn't say it's a good excuse just that the issue is more biases than ulterior motives.
Business is pimping
You should look into Strong Towns, they basically make the same argument. The Federal govt providing so many grants for infrastructure projects have basically made cities spread out, overgrown and fiscally insolvent.
And to be clear - I'm referring to the building on the right of the highway in that photo.

And I'm not against redevelopment. I'm glad my area is turning these massive open parking lots into mixed-use buildings. I just wish they were building them in a more organic urban style. I live within walking distance of several of these projects, but rarely walk to them because I have to cross too many 6-8 lane intersections and massive swaths of asphalt parking lot (with distracted office workers hurrying to-fro).
Don't bother working for a large company. If you haven't seen it already, just watch the movie Office Space (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151804/) and you can see everything you need to know about doing software at a big company.

That being said, you have to understand that your new job isn't at a "Big company", your new job is at Amazon: a completely different beast. I live in the greater Seattle area and I can tell you there are two types of Amazon workers doing software development - those who quietly work their jobs and never talk to non-Amazon folks about it one way or the other (e.g. "my Amazon job is great! You should work here!" or "My Amazon job is hell"), or people who are Ex-Amazon who have NOTHING good to say about working there (except for the fact that they left the job). Be careful.
