Excerpt from the Wikipedia page on the Antonine plague (165-180 AD) [1]:

A good indicator of nutrition and the disease burden is the average height of the population. The conclusion of the study of thousands of skeletons is that the average Roman was shorter in stature than the people of pre-Roman societies of Italy and the post-Roman societies of the Middle Ages. The view of historian Kyle Harper is that "not for the last time in history, a precocious leap forward in social development brought biological reverses."

That's admittedly a vague quote. But it suggests that Roman civilisation made life shittier than either before or after. Is there a genuine inconsistency with the submission?

[1] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonine_Plague

[edit]

The Wikipedia article has a reference to this article about skeleton height: https://academic.oup.com/ereh/article-abstract/9/1/61/457455... - It apparently improved after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire!

That sounds quite bad to me. It can happen if you have a virus scanner going crazy on your build target during build (which is a common complaint on Windows, you might have to add your Rust projects to an exceptions list). It can also happen if you have really heavy proc macros or other compile-time magic going that needs to reprocess and reexecute often (serde famously can crank up compile times).

I doubt your compile times would really ramp up that much from your project itself getting much bigger. If you are at 1.5k lines of code, the ridiculous compile time is probably due to other causes.
I'd be sued for that regardless of its efficacy.

"A stop" is not just useless, but is actively harmful in space transportation. You go, for free, until you get there, and then use up fuel stopping. Starting and stopping are exactly what costs. Stopping halfway makes the whole trip cost literally twice as much.

In my point of view this is actually good news; Since I'm not a native english speaker and since this language has become the world's lingua franca it's very nice being able to understand an article just because the author's didn't waste time looking for bombastic synonyms just to sound smarter.

from there i responded to the following poster's claim that money is not a factor that influences people's decision to flee. i think this is flawed and suspect they are not talking from any experience
Thanks!

I have some ideas for the project. I would indeed like more effects. Especially for an led strip because I have quite a few already for an led panel. Maybe something that the user could make their own effects. I would also like to support more led types. But for that I would need to get my hands on to some different types of led's.

I hope you will like the project if you try it out :)
I'm not an expert to be fair, but I'm thinking we're talking about twisted-pair coaxial, not fiber; I'd love that option. That said I don't really know what I'm talking about.
1. Through the softphone (think Skype, but more configurable).

2. Yes, more latency in most situations on incoming calls. Voip.ms does let you choose servers in different cities/countries, so your ISP’s routing starts to matter. It might be better or worse than Google Voice, I don’t have any experience with GV.

3. I think most people here could figure it out, but having to google “softphone” isn’t a great start :)

4. Nice thing about this whole setup is that you can turn it all off in a few keystrokes on your phone, and then your cellphone rings normally. You don’t have to worry about your phone number being lost unless you get sim-swapped. If voip.ms goes down, your incoming calls will stop until you deactivate it as above.

One positive is that you can set up your incoming calls to simultaneously ring multiple phone numbers and softphones if you wanted.

Soyuz rocket takes 9 minutes to get to orbit. Raptors are multiple-use engines, their lifetimes could be hours of work, which is a lot for rocket engines. However it could be possible to increase lifetimes at least another order of magnitude - an NK-33 engine once run uninterrupted for 14 thousands seconds. Consumed a lot of kerosene.

RL-10 can avoid too big stresses, at least not heating to high temperatures, so this is another hint on possibly long working rocket engines...

You’re not selling a service. You’re selling your time.

When you take a job as a full-time employee, you’re agreeing to trade 40-ish hours a week for a yearly salary. If want a job where you’re taking money in exchange for meeting specific deliverables, you can be a contractor doing fixed-price bids. It pays more, if you’re good at it, but it’s much riskier. That’s why it pays more.

Taking a full-time job and not working full-time hours is fraud.

She didn't say anything about targeting, or not excluding, people of colour in their marketing. She just said having a brand is beneficial for them, and that confused me. Perhaps she said somewhere that they are targeting that group, if so I missed that.

If landline is your phone capable of displaying Caller ID?
If yes, can you check the firmware of your landline phone as Caller ID uses v23 protocol, so your landline has dialup modem abilities and anyone with access to your landline could remote control your landline phone. Had the data and time changed on my landline phone in my case, just someone showing off their full spectrum dominance!

If landline has your phone company been hacked or your security services yanking your chain?

If mobile, is your device rooted? Is you sim card hacked? Any component with a cpu may have the ability to independently use the hardware, so a sim card phoning home independent of the phone OS, it all depends on how the circuit board is designed.

This reminds me of a racing game series I used to play when I was younger called TrackMania. The racing gameplay dynamic was simply about getting the best time. Getting gold medals on all of the single player tracks is just the beginning. Once you start heading online and looking at the leaderboards you realize just how competitive the scene is in this series of games. This video[1] for example documents some of the crazy lengths that the most competitive players will go to get to the top of the ranks.

I understand why people are concerned about AirTags and not Tile. What I'm saying is, it seems difficult to ban a given implementation of a technology based solely on the number of users. I don't think a framework even exists for us to say "Tile cannot allow their app to be installed on more than X number of smartphones".
The unfortunate externality of pollution, noise or otherwise, is that one group of people (power customers, power company) with political or economic power benefits at the expense of a third party (local pollution victims.)

It's disappointing that even if you manage to avoid the noise hellscapes of large cities, which perhaps might not be completely unexpected, you may still be stuck in a picturesque rural or small-town noise hellscape of loud wind farms that prevent you from sleeping at night. Basically noise becomes inescapable.

Yeah, I feel you. However, remember that these are games. It's fun to play. It's unlikely in real-life that you will get the opportunity to control resources and strategy on the level that Factorio and such offer. Enjoy the opportunity to build. To imagine and see where your imagination takes you. It's good practice, mental exercise.

Much like with story-telling in the form of books and movies, playing (good) games is an opportunity to learn about yourself and reality, and then grow in response.

You are the player of games. Be mindful so the game doesn't play you. ;) It sounds like you're doing well to recognize "enough," when the trade-offs don't make sense anymore, though a bit late. Maybe next time you'll slow down before anxiety need kick in. Good luck, have fun!

> This class seems to be a filter class.

"Linear Algebra for Engineers" is a bit late for an early filter class (Generally Calculus 102 or Physics 101/Chemistry 101 are those filter classes) and too early for a field filter class (ie. Thermodynamics, Electrodynamics, Organic Chemistry). Normally, linear algebra is a class in second term sophomore year (The sequence is generally->Calc 101->Calc 102->Intro to Vector Calc->Linear Algebra).

There are a couple of issues:

1) Never take the engineering version of math, physics, etc. if you want to learn. Engineering version of classes tend to emphasize "plug and chug" more than underlying understanding. The "math" version of linear algebra would presumably be pointing toward vector and complex analysis rather than PDEs and numerical analysis.

2) Linear algebra takes an AMAZING teacher to make relevant and interesting. Applying linear algebra is kind of like pointers to pointers in C--there is an extra layer of abstraction. Linear algebra is applied to something that is then applied to the application domain. Linear algebra is rarely the solution, itself.

3) Linear algebra really isn't a class to take without knowing why you are taking it. Motivation is significantly better if you've got something concrete you can apply it to.
Though it makes me wonder how/why they find Google Voice’s latency is noticeable. I can’t tell when someone is calling me locally or from across the continent. Maybe GV has few (and overloaded) POPs?

I like your point about the limit. Real world system debugging can always go lower than my know how reaches. But in my experience the broken dependencies, slow build time, putting an inserter the wrong way are core mechanics of the late game.

That's the biggest problem with dialog AI systems - they don't do well with context. Context requires some kind of model of what is being talked about. Most systems don't have that, or they just have some predefined "slots" to fill in about what's being discussed.

Whoever really cracks this will own the customer support business.
The difference is that you mix your code and package management. I'm not sure why the code would need to know where you obtained the dependency. This is package manager business. Whether you get the dependency from your git repo, from a centralized package repository or from a random url had nothing to do in the code.
Well Thanks for bearing with me. Indeed, I understood "it" to be escape, not the money. I could see your interpretation as well now that you point it out. Sorry for getting snarky

Like the number of critical bugs they found and pushed the vendors to fix? Like finding bugs like Spectre that forever changed the chip industry's understanding of side channel attacks and subsequent designs?
I agree completely. No mater what Apple and Tile can only do so much to prevent these kinds of things - at some point it is really down to criminals being criminals. We are perfectly fine with selling anyone with a license a motor vehicle but as we have seen many times in the wrong hands they can easily be dangerous killing machines.

I like that Apple is making changes to how they work to discourage Air Tags used for this but to fully stop it would just mean not selling the product at all. And even though I am DEFINITELY not an Apple fan I think that is a poor solution to the problem.

Instead of making anti-theft devices semi permanent I think it makes much more sense to just discourage using them for stalking in the first place at the time of purchase. If you make a device that is semi permanent people will just find a way to hack it and repackage it into something else. And realistically people may want smaller anti theft devices for small but very valuable items.

What I think would probably be the best solution is to do something along the lines of what you said about registering with the police. Instead of manually having to do that though it would probably be easier if at the time of sale you had to sign a terms of service and the vendor automatically registered the serial number to your name in some kind of semi-public registry that law enforcement and others have access to. Even if would be thieves find ways around this it is going to discourage a ton of stalking in the first place.

I am hoping we get a fully open airtag platform out of this with Android apps, devices, windows, linux, etc. In addition I think a setting on your phone that you could manually activate that told any airtags within a close vicinity to NOT track you could also be interesting - there may be many false positives but someone explicitly worried about someone stalking them could activate this feature for at least some piece of mind.

They're called cable franchise agreements. Google found this example[1] with the provider in this case (Comcast) being required to extend service to any area with a minimum of 30 dwellings per cable mile. You should be able to get a copy of the franchise agreement between the municipality and provider.

They're typically for cable companies but they may apply to "fiber" providers as well. Not sure about that.

What Musk is saying is that from a legal perspective, there are only three job titles/roles that must be filled in a corporation.

In the sense of - where Rust can do some amazing program transformations because it’s quite demanding about memory safety, ATL purports that if the math is all tensors, then there’s potential in program transformations based on automated reasoning about tensor formulae. Which no one needs for FizzBuzz but sounds like something worth exploring for HPC.
> A system like that, where the gains in per-capita production were the product of trade networks leveraging competitive advantage and the accumulation of agricultural capital (animals, but also potentially mills, olive presses, that sort of thing) could potentially be very fragile. Disruptions to trade or a failure to maintain that agricultural capital through a crisis could lead a society to fall back down to a lower equilibrium.

The parallels to what we're experiencing right now due to COVID affecting trade and supply chains are uncanny and worrisome.
The EVA suits continue to operate on only oxygen though, which makes sense given that internal suit pressure is a major challenge for manoeuvrability as was famously demonstrated by Alexei Leonov during the first spacewalk. This does mean that astronauts spacewalking from the ISS need to prebreath pure O2 to purge nitrogen for preventing the bends, a detail that was captured in the Netflix SciFi film Stowaway.
Google's main ad business is on Google owned properties. Always has been.

The biggest existential threat to Google is that Google has abandoned management focus on developing it's core offerings (Search, Cloud, Maps, GSuite, GMail, Messaging) to fight stupid antitrust battles with the EU over a tiny slither of profit in a completely irrelevant side business.

Reputational damage alone is driving away huge amounts of Cloud and GSuite business.
I can list lots of ways that men are worse off, and I have done exactly that. You don't even acknowledge them besides writing them off as perhaps minor inconveniences, and ask us to look at the "overall picture" instead without even bothering to try to paint that big picture. Why is the fact that men face significant discrimination in education not part of the big picture?

> Can you find one person saying that?

Let's be explicit about this, since you seem intent on evading the discussion: why shouldn't we treat male-particular suffering, discrimination, and death as important topics for society to address? What possible explanation is there for you to write those issues off as not part of the big picture except for thinking that men deserve it?

yeah, that's a very big caveat - haven't checked neo 20b yet. I've had a hard time getting the AI21 models to use it and those are also pretty big so it's interesting why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

I like this idea also - I always liked planning with a physical medium (like a notebook) and this is a great way to make sure big things are not missed.
