Indeed, but it's actually a little bit hard to define what that charge distribution is (or in which frame...). The way it shows up, both in the cross section for elastic lepton scattering as well as in spectroscopy, is via the related quantity "form factor", as the slope at zero four-momentum transfer. While the form factor can be thought as the Fourier transform of the charge distribution for heavy objects (say, iron nuclei), for the proton, this becomes dicey.
There have been CT scanners put in helicopters as well: https://www.auntminnieeurope.com/index.aspx?sec=ser&sub=def&...
Think of it in a simpler way. There is nothing we can currently measure, that will be different for one proton versus another.
The logic there is that this person was already going to leave your team either way, so if you PIP them they will just leave the company and you don't need to PIP someone else instead. Still a sociopathic thing to do though.
At least Wikipedia counts GTA: Vice City and GTA: San Andreas as "main series", leaving the possibility of a game that is new but not called GTA 6.

But I agree that it doesn't sound like San Andreas VR or something like that.

Most of this new controversy is bullshit seeded by PR. Getting rid of residential gas is a movement of sorts now, and people are eager to sell their wares. Open a window or use the vent fan and 90% of your risks go away.

Or buy an induction cooktop, which costs more, works more poorly and has a 5 year expected lifespan.
The Silicon Valley way of working assumes the unique culture of the western US in which it developed, which exists independent of tech. While the ways of working are straightforward, it is difficult to export the social context in which they evolved and the expectations built into that. This is the hidden assumption of the Silicon Valley way of working.

I believe one of the reasons Seattle emerged as the second tech juggernaut city, versus another random metro in the US, is that it shares the same western US culture as Silicon Valley and therefore could adopt Silicon Valley's methods unmodified and expect similar results. In other parts of the world, and even in e.g. the eastern US, the impedance mismatch between the Silicon Valley way of working and the socio-cultural milieu are pretty visible.
Yes but see, in your example, I would then say your fingers are conscious, too. Or that there is an experience of being a finger. Who, besides the finger, could say otherwise? Just because you've moved the experience from me having it, to the finger having it, doesn't mean that the experience disappeared.

The problem is yet again w/ the definition of having an experience, as I said in my reply to the parent. It's just language, and the reason why we find ourselves in some kind of linguistic paradox trying to explain it.
I love it when people do that because almost always someone else will post a counter example that disproves those assumptions. Learned a lot of facts about other countries here because of this and I try to provide examples from my own country as well whenever possible.
OpenSCAD is great in some ways, but the fact that everything gets boils straight to triangles drives me nuts. If there were an OpenSCAD equivalent to work with boundary representation models I’d have found my CAD nirvana.
It happened simultaneously, they required eachother in lockstep.

Shockley was the spark that set SV on fire (not HP). By chance he ended up in the SV area, moving from New Jersey to Mountain View because his ill mother lived in Palo Alto. Beckman Instruments provided the capital for Shockley to start his company, which led to Fairchild (also formed by outside capital) and off it went.

Those companies would not have existed without the venture capital that made them possible. Shockley was not going to bootstrap his company, and the traitorous eight were similarly not going to leave without significant financial support courtesy of Fairchild Camera.
Been working with Rails close to a decade now. I've built several, non-trivial products using Rails for the API, by myself. What I and my coworkers dislike about Rails is the sheer amount of magic. Oh and concerns, let's not forget that pattern.

Rails is amazing at standing up a CRUD app (really API) in a matter of minutes. I can have a basic CRUD app with authentication, authorization, API, caching, background jobs, local development (docker compose), production in any cloud / k8s and CI/CD done within a day. Adding business logic that's well tested is simple.

Once the app starts to get serious usage, needs to integrate with complex enterprise systems, handle huge loads of data, etc. it becomes necessary to step away from Rails-way of doing things. All of a sudden you can't push more into Sidekiq cause of how much it impacts the DB via ORM loading. Now you're writing custom SQL. It's not all that hard to do in Rails, but at that point, you're writing Ruby and not using Rails magic any more.

Your dismissive comment does not address the realities of building a solution that goes beyond CRUD. It ignores the many levels of experience present on a team or the amount of technical debt one accrues while building a non-trivial production system.

While it doesn't take much experience to get started with Rails or to get a good amount of progress on a product, it takes skill to keep the technical debt under control. Or to make good decisions about architecture. Or to understand which parts of the system to optimize. It requires actual experience building web solutions without the crutch of a framework to know when to ignore Rails and when to double-down on it.
Oh shit, I forgot about that part. The one time I've gotten to cook with induction, that indisputably sucked. They all want to put touch controls on something that gets water drops on it, or is operated with wet hands, with some regularity. What a terrible idea.

Also, I've never met a flat-top stove that wasn't a terror to keep clean. Maybe induction's different, but that's another worry.
I agree that consumerism is bollocks and is something we could easily get rid of whilst generally increasing our happiness.

Sure, so that works for a fork. And yeah, we can probably do it for all of the forks, so that's scalable.

How about rice? Laundry liquid? Humour me - surely you can think of things we use all of the time that are not possible to make net zero at present?

I mean, I can't even get off the gas in my boiler without putting in a heat pump that uses carbon to produce and maintain and repair. Even that one isn't fixed!
Perhaps boring and desolate, Though IDK how you could guarantee desolation over such a period of time. Hassle to get in by definition makes it interesting. It would probably only deter the same people that a skull would with muchless effort than razing the area though why not combine both?

Robbers, raiders, and treasure hunters would still go in.
The other thing to remember about analogies is that some people can be good at them, and some people can be bad at them.

They appear on IQ tests. Some are easier than others.

When making an analogy, you should try to work out if it’s an easy one or a hard one, to judge how much work you’re making your audience do.

Try it out. Rails 7 has a really interesting view on frontend dev with importmaps and Hotwire.
I bought GTA4 when it came out. First thing that happened: I had to create a Microsoft Games (or whatever) account. So I go online to do that. But I found I had to create a live.com account, with an email account as well (what the hell is live.com, and what does this have to do with Microsoft, and why do I need that to play GTA!?). All this on my painfully slow and pricy connection at the time.

I eventually figured it all out, but I vowed to never touch a Rockstar game again.
Sure, at a given point with low attrition this may be true.
However if you are forcing the "bottom" 10-15% out every year, you tend to run out of "bottom" people to exit.. unless you are very bad at recruiting (or purposely hiring to fire).

Further, in any big organization the weak performers are not evenly distributed. However the PIP / attrition % rates are uniformly forced. So the over performing team has to start cutting into good performers within a year or two, whereas the low performance team can cut and still have many lower performers..
That's a lot. That's basically a $9/month SaaS.

I've seen cheaper subscription services that also come with support, hosting and services.
In my experience, when reading about consciousness there are a couple types of claims you should be cautious of:

1) Claims that the causes of consciousness can be easily explained. As far as I can tell, they can't. Usually these explanations use the word "emergent" a lot, and tend to be linguistically impenetrable. Often more poetic than scientific when scrutinized closely.

2) Claims that consciousness doesn't exist. These arguments often feel like semantic nitpicking, and employ the word "illusion" as though it's somehow useful for explaining why you experience.

My pet criteria for whether a statement about consciousness is useful is:
"Can this possibly help explain how I can merge consciousness with someone (or something) else?"
To me, this feels like a tangible measurement for how materially useful a claim about consciousness might be. An example is literature on "Split-Brain" patients (such as https://www.nature.com/articles/483260a).

edit:
Another category to be wary of is:

3) Claims that we cannot understand consciousness. Usually these boil down to "how can consciousness understand itself?". Poetic and poignant, but not particularly useful or scientifically grounded.
That's generally been the challenge with these super low-field scanners--they can't get T2*/susceptibility that's anywhere close to useful (yet?).
No, I mean Non Fungible Tokens, powered by the blockchain, put emails on the blockchain.
This argument seems to come up from people who want to be able to hack into things and not really get punished for it. Should people who hot wire cars be employed by the government for auto mechanic work? People who burglar homes be employed as home security consultants?

There's an argument that can be made for reducing sentences, especially for children. Breaking the law but in a certain category shouldn't give some people a job and some people prison.

Sometimes when I wake up in the morning I am "conscious" of my position in the room but the position of walls, windows, the closet, etc. doesn't match, sudendly I feel like I'm instantly turned around in space! Then I realize that my belief was wrong, and it feels like I was sleeping in another orientation on the bed.

Recently I bought a telescope and took some pictures of the moon. Then I searched for a map of the moon, and to my surprise the orientation didn't match my photos. I imagined myself stading on the right side of the planet, looking at the moon which was also at the right. I realized that my "up" is actually the "side", and my photos and the map made sense. That was like the reorientation feeling, but softer.

That made me think whether one thing is having a theory of this world, and another very different when a theory is deep in our consciousness.
I think multi-profile compilations is much better - have a really fast debug build that hardly does any optimizations, and a release one that can take whatever amount of time but will be really optimized.
> but piracy is likely to be so small

Odd take given how rampant piracy is within the PC gaming market.

Losing a similar percentage of sales in consoles would absolutely make it unprofitable for smaller developers.
Lots of it is goofy. Some of it is wildly deep too. As a police officer you have shifts, tickets to give out, tons of paperwork, break time, arresting, booking, interrogating, rules for shoot outs, you learn all the codes for “officer down”, “robbery in progress”, etc, certifications to get for driving various vehicles, you have to learn every street by heart to participate in chases because you have to constantly use call signs and say “he’s going north on broadway, now east on lake ave”, promotions and pay scales, radio operation and dispatch…absolutely insane imo, a completely new level of role playing.
yes, that is the official gaben explanation for hl3. I really doubt the original plan in 2007 was to wait indefinitely for some sufficiently cool new tech, but whatever.

it doesn't really explain why hl2:ep3 never happened, despite having a mature engine to develop against. I think people would be a lot less upset if a "standard m+kb" ep3 that didn't end on such a cliffhanger had been released sometime around 2010.
Rockstar Games track record shows couldn't give less of a shit about who they offend with the satire in their GTA series. I wouldn't worry about that.
> Apple's privacy push cost Meta $10B

It's a false narrative that Facebook is pushing out: "It' snot us that are bad, it's this big bad Apple who are hurting our poor business".
Killing someone because they kind of resemble someone else who had been doing burglaries in the area is a far cry from defending your own property while a theft occurs. If someone attempts to rob or burglarize me while I'm present, I can and will use force up to and including lethal force to stop them. This is legal in some circumstances, not extrajudicial. In the cases where it is extrajudicial, it can often be moral. Police are a great feature of society, but a citizen has personal responsibility over his own life and property foremost. The police aren't always with you; you are.
That seems to imply that we need to buy stuff to create excitement in life. Is that what you meant?
There might be times where longer blades would be less desirable though, could this have some niche use?

Also seems like the screw shape could be less prone to breakage.

> Which means all they have to do is sit on the ability to make product indefinitely and use it as soon as the monopolist attempts to raise prices above cost.

You're underestimating the economic tools at the disposal of large companies. Lucrative contracts with suppliers that prevent selling to competitors, vertical integration where they just buy the suppliers outright, attack advertising, poaching employees, etc. A lot of these can happen even without active malice.

Selling below cost is just one of many tools. There are many many ways an economically powerful player can strongarm competitors into submission.

None of these are foolproof (and nothing in politics or economics is), but they all make the barrier to entry higher, sometimes almost impossibly high even in the absence of regulation (that is to say thinking of barrier to entry as something that is independent of a monopoly is not a good model, monopolies are intrinsically a barrier to entry).
Start here. Start with the second one - 'From n00b to l33t: An Introduction to Reverse Engineering'.

"This workshop is a 1-2 hour introduction to what reverse engineering is. It assumes no knowledge of assembly and is done on paper worksheets rather than a computer setup for accessibility and to make the most efficient use of time."

It's by Maddie Stone, who's a Security Researcher at Google Project Zero.

She also has Android app reverse engineering

IMO the YM2612 was neat but shortly after it appeared, we started getting multichannel PCM-based (or ADPCM) sound chips which were much more flexible and had more naturalistic sounds.
I feel like the location for Trader Joes in all of the places I have lived has been essentially the same. It is in the wealthy neighborhoods, but usually in a strip mall or other location that's a bit cheaper than Whole Foods. At least in Philly I think if there is a Trader Joe's there is a Whole Foods < 1 Mile away.

i've used FreeCAD but didn't like the UI so then I switched to OnShape. I used OnShape for a while but then switched over to Fusion360 because the vast majority of the people in my hobby ( amateur rocketry ) use Fusion360. Using the same tool as everyone else really helps when asking questions and reading tips/tricks.
Agree but I'm not sure, if my comment understood correctly.

1. I didn't talk about should, I describe the problem with parent comment i.e. immorality of normalization. I have heard such justification before which goes to similar next step. That next step was what the normalizers might say.

2. It's from the point of white washers not the moral stand point that you depicts

3. As a proof, just check the comment in this section by @dirtyid which describe the 'next' I talked about:

> Behaving like a "savage" has very little to do with time but where countries are in their development.

~~(fun fact, I didn't saw it the first time and it was delightful seeing a proof in next step above)~~

Again, If it wasn't clear originally, What I liked to bring attention to is the white-washing (normalization) of tyrannies. It has been done for Nazis and it's currently being done in western journalists and lobbyist. Look at any sort of authoritarian atrocity and you'll see a white washer in NY or DC normalizing it.
Well, the reason for maybe switching in the first place is that the oven interior doesn't hold temp correctly, so we'll have to replace it at some point. And the health concerns have me not wanting to get another gas stove... but I've had electric and will probably just stop using the stovetop at all if I have to go back to that. Which leaves induction.
Today I learned that in the US, cheerleading is an industry. I always thought this was mostly done by enthusiastic school and college kids, not much money in it. How naive of me :-)

>Not having that option forces everyone to play by the rules of the existing store.

So what you want is a convenient monopoly, when there is no such thing (unless it's under heavy government regulation). As a consumer, I like Epic's free games. GoG's policy of DRM-free. Which is why competition is good.
What’s more amazing is why a person is selected as your consciousness?
This reminds me of a visit to a store in the DFW area (Texas) called "World Market". They sell all kinds of things from all over the world that you would have a hard time finding anywhere else including food, furnishings, decorations, knick-knacks, gee-gaws, and other shit, etc.

Employees there that I talked with had never noticed that for everything sourced outside Africa the outline and flag of that nation was displayed but for everything from Africa there was only an outline of Africa labeled as "Africa".

Above something that is probably quite marginal this is basically free money for Apple. What are you comparing 30% to? Profit vs gross income? That's not what the 30% are here. That's 30% of an amount which depends on:

* a market that is so large that in a bunch of area it is basically not limiting - Apple has an influence on that but capturing so much value on 3rd party apps should not be warranted IMO, otherwise it would be warranted for them to also capture a big part on most of software for MacOs sales (esp. since the configuration by default is now quite secure so the argument that the App Store for iPhone is so valuable because it is curated is getting weaker) and for MS to capture a big part on most of software sales for Windows (and maybe give some crumbs to PC hardware manufacturers)

* the success of 3rd party apps, most of which has not much to do with Apple
>Or you could see it with the angle that Apple is in effect hired by us, the end-users, to negotiate on our behalf to ensure the ecosystem cannot dictate unilateral terms unfavorable to us.

Then continue to only use Apple App Store and Apple Payments. Free market says if all the end-users truly believe that, all the others will fail from no users. So why is Apple so afraid of a little fair competition?
Weirdly it’s the combination of gun stores and crime that’s odd. Medellín came to mind but I didn’t see any gun stores there. Zurich is at the other end. Hard to imagine a crime spree.

What if you planned a complete software product lifecycle and create a pool of talented teams / organizational modes that can adopt stewardship of the software at various life stages with the goal to smoothly transition between stages without harming users or workers?

Lets say it looks like this for the sake of argument: stage - organizational mode - goals

Idea / Proof of Concept - individual or team - prove the idea out
Growth Software Product - startup - carve a space for the product, grow its useful user base to a target number, transition to Utility
Utility Software Product - utility - maintain the project and optimize costs and delivered value, transition back up to Growth or down to Archived
Archived Software Product - library / anthropology - tell the story of the project, minimize costs, make it available to a wide audience, organize its community, transition back up to Utility

The idea is to have a pool of teams and organization templates where you aim to "pass the baton" between modes depending on the lifecycle stage of the software, and individual teams and orgs are rewarded based on how they meet their objectives including delivering a seamless transition to the next stage.
In that case, may the poll should have been binary ?

No, you have a perception that you think entails subjective experience. Surely you would acknowledge the many ways you or others could fool your other perceptions, but it's frankly confusing that you think this simply cannot happen to your perception of subjective awareness. The fact is, if this illusion was adaptive in evolutionary terms, which it arguably is, then you would have developed such an illusory perception.
