Fun idea, but "according to scientists" and "according to prevailing quantum theory" are questionable. The many worlds interpretation isn't as mainstream as this implies (and many non-physicists think).

Personally I don't think it makes any sense at all, although I have a mere batchelor's degree in physics so I'm not particularly well qualified to judge. I've never had a satisfactory answer to the simple emperor's new clothes question, which requires no knowledge of QM to ask, "If every outcome happens, in what sense is one outcome more probable than another?"

Because it is (experimentally, based on repeat trials), and QM furnishes us with the probabilities.

This is sometimes stated as "How do you get the Born rule?" but it's a simple and obvious question as soon as any sort of multiverse is proposed. I'm aware of the attempts to answer the question using decision theory but while they produce the right numbers they fail to provide a convincing justification for or interpretation of them (vs the simple, experimentally falsifiable frequentist view "if you repeat the experiment you'll see the frequencies approach these probabilities").
Going from SE toward SEM I'd suggest you get into s/w metrics.

I was going to ask that question... just about every person I've known with a serious cancer has had an opportunity to get an unapproved treatment (whether that was a trial, or off-label, or something else, I don't know). I know people who did one or other of the COVID vaccine trials.

If you need $300K to support your expenses, than that's a choice you can make -- if you have the ability to have a $300K plus income. That's of course a choice not available to 95% of the USA. (300K happens is around the 95h percentile income in the USA).

That some people live in houses they couldn't pay for on $150K doesn't mean that $150K isn't possibly a "full time salary". $150K is definitely in the category of "a full time salary", many people make this much or less working full time.

That a skilled engineer could possibly make $150K for working 50% time -- is a choice not available to most people, most people don't even have the choice to make $150K working full time! So a skilled engineer has that option, make would be a (healthy) full-time salary for most of the USA, working only half-time. Or anyway would, if employers would hire like this. That's the point I meant to be making.

Income distribution in the US does continue to get more uneven every year.

To me, it sounds the other way around: how good is a test if the tester can't even figure out something that basic? They might follow some strict scenario, but if it's that inflexible, it still casts doubt on the quality. But yeah, just complying with google's rules seems the easiest way out of this.

Cloudflare obviously the major violation for many sites.
> Probably browsers will remove it anyway and deal with EU in court if they make a stink about it.

A more direct and confrontational approach would be for browser companies to do what website owners have effectively done, which is to agree in advance to implement some sort of annoying pop-up (shown every time the browser updates) saying "Do you want the EU to weaken your security and enable spying? [Yes] [No]", like those annoying cookie pop-ups.

The difference being, of course, that the cookie pop-ups are designed to dark-pattern users into giving away their rights, and to blame the EU unfairly, whereas these browser pop-ups would be to help protect users' rights and to correctly blame the EU (assuming the regulation passes).
So when we say 'Linux' we're now talking about 'Chromebooks' with ChromeOS.

Not only they defeated the purpose of someone else's point on getting rid of 'closed source' and 'spyware' controlled by Google, it is already at risk of ending up getting replaced by Fuchsia but may still be called 'ChromeOS' and it won't be based on Linux. That is my bet on this decade.

I still don't see any evidence of Windows being challenged by any Linux Desktop distro other than being used in WSL2. That is it.

That seems like a stretch — the interest is certainly there but I don't think there's any path to Taiwan which isn't a transparent “you were tied up with Russia” pretext, and there's a lot more precedent now for a large chunk of the world's economy being willing to sacrifice money to punish aggression. They just don't seem to have the appetite for risk that Putin does — spread money around, build soft power while locking up valuable resources, etc. and you get most of the same results they care about without bloodshed.
the US and the west are the real aggressors. there will never be freedom as long as the US remains.

>a popular way for Eastern Europeans to save and hide wealth

Save - I'd not think it's not a popular instrument, and it's hard to buy lots of it. (Technically you can trade it as forex and the let the position open?). Hide - as in "cash under the blanket": 1) moving cash in the EU is regulated (ie 10k euro), and to do that they'd have to have an account in CHF send money (in any other currency to), and then withdraw in cash. I am not sure how many banks offer CHF accounts outside Switzerland.

Do you really want to? Your house probably didn't have electric lights when it was made. Your house probably didn't have telephone, much less cable TV wires, or ethernet. Note that wired telephone is a technology that came and went during the life of your house, today you may not care, but 50 years ago that would have been an issue. I'm not sure if your house would have had plumbing or not, even if it did the bathroom (singular - today most families want several) and kitchen were at best outdated. I have no doubt that your house has poor insulation. I suspect that your house has had several major renovations over the years, and the basic facts of the original structure limit what you can do and so it is still dated (though maybe in an endearing way)

I'm starting to think the Japanese have the right idea: build the house to last 20 years and rebuild often. Some parts of modern house design are fads that I hope to see die, but there are a lot of parts about modern houses that make them much better than old ones.

It seems like retaining the information about all possible universes is kind of nonsensical; the volume of data is just too large.

If we assume that the universe is deterministic inside of itself except for quantum decisions, it seems reasonable to me that a structure on the outside of this universe would perform something like a Monte Carlo tree search (assuming that there is a "success condition" for a universe), and branches are only explored to some depth before being discarded. You could then - if you really had to - backtrack to an earlier known state and start exploring again.

In my general view, it's also likely that consciousness is only projected into branches once it's sufficiently established that they're reasonable to follow (I think consciousness might be expensive).

Some random ranting ...

> Is it because of the deployment overhead or something else?

In my experience, two things. Smaller is the JIT overhead. Bigger, is the haphazardishness of the other AWS Libraries for .NET; there's sometimes 'edge cases' where if running in a lambda, you have to do something special, set a special flag, etc. And often the solution is buried in a SO post or closed github issue.
I've personally moved to Talend. Talend is browser based and capable of using existing auth cookies. It's a game changer if you have to work in an integrated environment where it's not possible to run those auth services locally.

It's interesting that people begin to realize now to which ridiculous conclusions GDPR taken at its word leads:

- IP addresses are personally identifiable information (PII), and hence require consent to process

- Transferring PII to servers outside of Europe, or servers owned by organizations with legal residence outside of Europe (aka American tech companies), is not allowed

That means it is non-compliant to host your website at e.g. AWS, because it would mean AWS has technical means of accessing your customer's IP addresses, and AWS is owned by an American company. It doesn't matter whether you use a EU-based data center, because he jurisdiction of the parent company matters. This effectively rules out AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and of course pretty much all CDN providers.

And effectively everyone is non-compliant.
For example use Queue, which (I guess) the scheduler knows about.
Ditto. Though I've done software development, I'm not a developer. But my first job out of grad school was an on-campus interview. My three jobs since over a couple of decades have all been through people I knew where my resume was probably not more than glanced at.
It does not really matter because, in fine, everything depends on countries' relative strengths.

Say the US do something that the UN does not like. So what? The US are too powerful and have too much influence in the world to care. So ultimately the UN is and will always be limited by what the most powerful countries decide.

Ukraine: Foreign ministry advises Italians to leave Russia
The GDR was not an inheritor of the 3rd Reich's militarism - it was an inheritor of Prussia's militarism.

But yes, even school classes had a somewhat military organization. Serving in the military also had very high prestige and was well paid (for East Germany), and you got very good support when you left the military.

In school I learned to lockstep-march and shoot and how to tackle the obstacle course and how to use maps and compasses and to navigate in unknown terrain and even how to use gas masks long before I finally ended up in the Bundeswehr. During basic training in the Bundeswehr, when a handful of fresh recruits including myself went over the wall with no difficulties on our first attempt, the Major standing on the side watching everything commented "Oh, that must be our new recruits from the East" (we were drafted to a West German location, just a year after reunification).

Anyway, it has nothing to do with fascism except that they too took on the Prussian militaristic heritage. Militarism was a Prussian thing since before "Germany" was made - by Prussia and by force of arms.

There is a difference between justified anxiety, general butterflies, and anxiety disorders. I'm not your therapist so I cannot say but absolutely. This is a major world event with major consequences to people's lives.

The reality is that Russia invaded a sovereign nation. However, that nation never joined any military alliances. So we are not going to defend them.

What seems evident however, Russian special forces are getting their ass kicked in Ukraine and the general troops coming in behind are going to get wiped. Russia is about to come up against general mobilization of highly motivated VERY well supplied freedom fighters.

I'm also pretty convinced there's massive degree of proxy war going on. Everyone's special forces are in ukraine wiping Russians off the map. Everyone has basically declassified Russian troop movements. The Russians can't win.

When a country starts a war like this and after only a few days of losing spectacularly... they call for peace talks. They know they screwed up pretty big time. Russia will be paying for this for a long time.
