> Some much needed features are difficult to implement and require a large amount of work. If these features are not available, this is because nobody really cares, and there are few pre-existing parts to build upon.

Some things resemble "nobody really cares", but are distinct. Being unaware (eg "I didn't realize how bad it was until it stopped"). Being impoverished (eg "Any cost, including attention, is an insurmountable cost barrier", or as in education, a chain-of-care disaster triage). And so on.

The "few [...] parts to build upon" is indeed a mechanism for "large amount of work". Yay patents./s But there are others, and subtleties. For example, one can lack a part to build upon, because there are lots and lots of similar parts available, but all are variously not fit for purpose, or are collectively hiding the existence of a part that is - a prohibitive discovery cost (also effort dissipation). Or recursively, a part might not have been built, because its multiple potential uses have not been gathered to incentivize it, or a part it in turn needs - an economic communication failure. All our usual dysfunction.

I emphasize this because the "nobody really cares" model can be very attractive, but also very misleading. It can be a wonderful fit for observations, and predictive of further observations of the undisturbed system, while also being a very poor model for planning and predicting interventions.

For example, from kindergarten to undergraduate, introductory astronomy content tells students the simply wrong color for the Sun. In some sense, "nobody really cares" is an excellent description. Not teachers, professors, authors, publishers, reviewers, parents or students. But... they could care. Individually, it's not too hard to flip their state. And it's possible to imagine interventions with broader impacts. But we collectively don't get to it, for all the diverse reasons things aren't gotten to. Much of science education dysfunction is like that. Because "nobody really cares" that it succeeds... sort of, kind of, but also no - that's very not a root cause analysis.
My favorite accessibility-increasing tool is the computer. Doing math shouldn't involve so much circus math, i.e. doing things just for show, since a computer does so much immediately and accurately. We already use graphing calculators, and notation-wise graphs can be a useful tool in themselves in elaborating an idea (see also Feynman Diagrams, or electric circuits), but there's so much more calculators can do, let alone actual PCs, cell phones, and web apps. By chance in 9th grade "Intermediate Algebra/Algebra 2" I had a teacher not wholly opposed to modern technology and so he only had us do a small amount of those "solve this system of equations using a 3x4 matrix by hand, showing each matrix transformation to reach the row reduced form, taking up some pages of paper" problems before he brought in a classroom set of chonky TI-92 calculators and showed us the rref() function. That Christmas I asked my mom to upgrade me from my non-graphing scientific calculator that had served since elementary school to a TI-89 Titanium that served me even through college until I learned and got used to various PC programs. The lesson that there were powerful tools around stuck with me pretty fast though, and I wrote some simple programs on the calculator for that and other classes throughout HS (mainly just automating calculator input steps, no fundamentally new algorithms the calculator couldn't already do); in HS physics I also had learned more programming and did a little simulation with pygame and it was fun to enter numbers in the program, run it, see the mass trajectory animate and show some computed values, and then do the actual experiment and get the same results. I only wish I had been shown some PC programs earlier.

I met a friend many years later who sadly was still forced to do that rref()-by-hand for even larger systems of equations in university! That left no time to actually learn anything useful in linear algebra. Madness.

Yup, our clients have brought this up with us as well, which is why we recommend they offer 3 choices for the candidate to do the interview:

1. Hop on a call, do the interview in one sitting together and share thoughts/questions

2. Hop on a call, make sure set up is smooth, prompt is clear, questions are answered, then candidate goes off on their own. Hop on another call later in the day to demo the solution and talk over design decisions.

3. Do it completely async, submit the solution whenever you have time

From what we've seen, this flexibility has simultaneously reduced dropoff rate and increased candidate experience, since we're catering to the candidate's needs. Some would prefer to do it face-to-face, others prefer to work on their own.

The Strategy That Can Defeat Putin
From reference 16 (the link to 15 doesn't work):

> Results: During 5-23 y of follow-up of 347,747 subjects, 11,006 developed CHD or stroke. Intake of saturated fat was not associated with an increased risk of CHD, stroke, or CVD.

From OP's article:

> Meta-analyses of prospective observational studies aiming to determine the effects on CVD of saturated fat that did not take into consideration the replacement macronutrient have mistakenly concluded that there was no significant effect of saturated fat intake on CVD risk.

Their reference points to the same study (Patty W Siri-Tarino et al.) that the bulletproof article used. OP's article already acknowledges and disputes that information.

I'd consider an intact culture to be one that's capable of transmitting its knowledge and traditions to the next generation, and one that permits some kind of social learning [1]: It should be possible for a child or novice in the culture to be able to figure out how they are expected to behave, consistent parameters should exist for interactions, etc.

A broken culture in this case would be one which:

- Lacks a next generation/dies out (e.g. the Shakers because of their disdain for sex)

- There is a lack of agreement on foundational rules which make the culture impossible to enter, change, or expand (because the culture is crisis). Think managers giving you completely opposite instructions. One example would be say, attending the religious services of a friend/colleague. If the rules are clear and consistent and conveyed, it's possible to act in a respectful way. "This is how a Catholic wedding works." If you just have to guess what's offensive or what the taboos are, or you get contradicting answers, that's a broken culture. Even insular cultures need to teach children/new members, if they can't, they die.

> "However, the concept of IP ownership -- let alone specifics of how its structured -- are a cultural and human construct."

This "X is a social construct" meme has degenerated from meaning "it could have been designed/evolved differently" to "it doesn't matter, because it is relative so it might as well not be" - it's a terrible meme. There is a very big difference between claiming something is very wrong AND it follows an arbitrary decree or custom that was unjust, and claiming that whatever is socially constructed is also wrong. Pretty much every aspect of social life is a social construct. Justice is a social construct. Not killing each other over the slightest disagreement is a social construct. Pretty much every boundary, every aspect and definition that gives people meaning is a social construct.

The case for somehow breaking up IP laws regionally, I don't think it's a very good one because it would effectively cut out entire regions from many developments. But "it's just a social construct" - that just doesn't make any case either way.

BTW having separate, insular knowledge is what the current situation evolved from. Mutual certification and validation - say Rospatent being integrated into the Madrid System ( https://rospatent.gov.ru/en/activities/international_coopera... ) - is just a way to remove insularity and reduce costs for smaller IP owners without big pockets behind. What Russia is doing here is basically reneging accords, not some valiant pro-IP-freedom effort. This is a bit like US prints pirating the hell out of every British (+Empire) author after US independence. Just getting away with it, not some Libertarian movement.
I think a great first step for this community would be to stop consuming media uncritically.

There are a lot of people in my country, America, who are morally outraged and it confuses me because our country doesn't seem to have any problem invading sovereign nations and, as someone who protested those actions, my fellow citizens and our media have consistently smiled and supported those actions. Hollywood doesn't make films about the injustices of this aggression but rather, how it makes American soldiers sad to shoot little kids.

A recent example is Iraq. It started with allegations from the US that weapons of mass destruction (WMD) were an existential threat that needed to be acted on. Most of us who consume media critically charged that the real reason was closer to Iraq's massive untapped oil reserves. The US went to the UN with these allegations and the UN said, we don't see the evidence of WMD. The US went to NATO and NATO didn't see it either.

Some thought, that's it. Surely America won't just invade Iraq anyway. And... we did. And no weapons of mass destruction were ever found. Did we leave immediately, horrified at the war crime? Or did we stay and place our military bases at all the large oil wells?

Journalism is so important because it plays a vital role in informing us. If we don't have good journalism, we end up just thinking and feeling what we're told.

So maybe what we can do is to ask, "Were you and are you outraged about invading a sovereign for its resources -- which is a war crime? Have you posted or protested about that? Jumped up and down? And if not, why now with this? Is the difference because this time it's how you've been told to feel?"
I never had an iPod, but I wonder, did it use some acceleration scheme? I.e. your physical scroll speed was not just linearly mapped to the virtual scroll speed but some quadratic or even exponential scheme?

Because I know that they do the same on OSX for scrolling, i.e. scrolling has an acceleration scheme, which I very much enjoy, and always miss when I'm on other operating systems.

For that reason, I implemented such scroll acceleration in user space. Some further details and references are in the README. https://github.com/albertz/mouse-scroll-wheel-acceleration-u...
> Maybe I forgot some details of that bug or maybe indeed they fixed this by now.

There are lots of things which have been fixed in Windows 10, I'd go so far to say 1903 (19H1) is where things started to settle down, but even the latest versions are not perfect. When the Israeli/Palestinian conflict broke out in 2019, some of the US military computers started playing up for about a week, after the US vetoed something at the UN level regarding this conflict. So MS still has a long way to go to get things secure.
A Russia bond default looks increasingly likely
As a hiring manager and someone who has designed interview processes, I probably wouldn't use this product, but in fairness to Litebulb I wouldn't use any overly structured code assessment tool in interviews. You'll likely find people willing to give you a shot, but I think you'll discover over time that your data-driven customers conclude your product doesn't give better overall signal on a candidate long term. The coding aspect of an interview is already a very minor part of overall feedback...especially for more senior positions.

Something I would use is a tool to rethink and manage the virtual onsite experience. Virtual onsites are awful and rooted in legacy thinking. The people designing them likely never experienced it from the candidate's perspective. Why is it usually done in a single, long day? Why aren't interview transcripts a thing? Why does it all have to be done synchronously? These are just some of the top of mind questions that come up when looking at the hiring process these days.
I suspect with enough R&D focused on ease of use the CNG fuel system won't require more consumer intervention than the 1500lb battery pack under the car.
I actually have a Bluetooth device that attaches to my steering wheel with play/pause and scrubbing buttons to let me control my phone's music while driving. It's rough but usable. I think it's a great way to retrofit controls like that onto older cars.

The restrictions say emergency landings or overflight are allowed (at least the European restrictions on Russian flights that I read; I assume the American and Russian restrictions are similar).

However, an EU/US flight landing in Russia might have problems importing any required spare parts to fix the plane [1].

Russian planes making an emergency landing in the EU/US had better be owned by their airlines, rather than leased, or they're likely to be seized.

Link-level CRCs don't protect against bit flips that happen during processing or while transitioning between links with different CRCs. For maximum end-to-end integrity you want to calculate the check value over the data in (ECC) RAM before writing it and the check value to storage, and verify the check value after reading all the data back in—this ensures that a bit-flip will be detected no matter where it occurs in the pipeline.
A satellite data system used by the Ukrainian military was knocked out at the same time as the invasion, the outage started in Ukraine before spreading outward, and the damage is permanent - which would not happen in a botched firmware upgrade, where units would load a backup firmware image or get an image OTA, or be fixable via site visit.

Not exactly a 'really large claim' that this was an attack.
The one thing I don't get about all those calculator applications is the existence of the keypad. Like, the users already have the keypad right in front them called keyboard (the names literally share the "key" part). Why would anyone instead choose to use mouse to click those tiny buttons? I feel most calc designers still stuck at the skeuomorphism and never jump out of the box to think about what user really needs.

The only calculators I know that makes keypad optional/hideable are SpeedCrunch and Qalculate!, and now this.

Makes sense. How often will you really use that math? These days people get away with knowing very little math and relying on frameworks to handle the tuff parts.

I guess what is the potential reward in the real world?
You sure can, but it takes a very long time to fill a class 8 truck from a consumer gasoline pump. Doubly so for hydrogen given the slower speed.
We have something for this in our roadmap.

Currently: candidate does a Litebulb interview, gets a report, that report can be shared with whoever they like, hopefully speeding up interviews at other companies.

Next up: candidate does a Litebulb interview, gets a list of actively hiring companies that use that stack and would like the candidate to be inserted mid-way into the interviewing funnel.

disagree with most of this. the point of 'decentralization' is about removing intermediaries and any central authority while keeping the ledger immutable. there is no one for the FBI or anyone else to go bully with an illegal warrant to try to confiscate my Bitcoin.

This doesn't sound like a bug to me. It sounds like a refusal to fail silently.
This is essentially the principle of a virtual powerplant - household tariffs like Octopus Agile (price fluctuations every 30 minutes) with a home battery make it possible to do this at quite a small (eg household) scale. A bigger operator could find bigger returns if they could make it work.

I think there's something to be said for storing excess energy like this - it beats paying into fossil fuel economies.
It's interesting. The Intercept article's comparisons with Iran, Libya, and Pakistan are pretty strained for the reasons you gave. On the other hand, in exchange for handing over some dangerous items of great value Ukraine received some very explicit assurances about its security in the Budapest Memorandum, written assurances of a sort that Iran and Libya never received.

If you're willing to zoom out a little bit the doing the right thing with nukes really did not work out for them argument still basically holds. Doing the wrong thing would have been dangerous and very expensive, but that's perhaps orthogonal to the original point.
It's difficult to do these kinds of arbitrage deals with energy, at least electric energy - it's simply incredibly expensive and requires a lot of upfront cash to build out serious storage, whereas it's easy to store and ship oil - in a pinch, you can just buy an old tanker truck for a couple thousand dollars. Not to mention that in order to build such a project you would need a lot of transmission capacity in the grid so that you could e.g. have a battery in Bavaria buy up surplus power from the North Sea wind farms.

The one area where the principle works currently is ultra-short storage times like Tesla did in Australia... but that's not much of actual energy being stored, the service Tesla provides here is smoothing out demand - it has 194 MWh @ 150 MW, so barely one and a quarter hours of runtime at full load, with the complete grid having something like 60 GW peak capacity [1].

Another idea that is being floated is to repurpose old electric vehicle batteries or electric vehicles themselves as decentralized storage. That is a very charming idea, but again it requires large upfront investment for the batteries as well as for expanding the grid to keep up with the demand... and there are no standards yet for all the "smartness" needed for such a system to work, many chargers and electric vehicles are not capable of running in reverse, and many people are skeptic of putting a difficult to extinguish fire risk into their basement.

And yet another idea for arbitrage comes from the consumption side - basically have large consumers with storage such as a heating or warm-water system enabled for remote control so that oversupply spikes can be mitigated. But again, the current grids lack the "smartless".

I've thought about this as well, the biggest problem here is that I have Github repos from 7 years ago with very, very, poor code quality, and also just a bunch of incomplete test repos. I wouldn't want that to lower the perception of my current skillset.
