Do as you like but keep in mind there are some decent taxi companies. Up here there's a driver owned co-op cab that is reliable and reasonable. No nice app but if you schedule a trip to the airport they show up on time.

They aren't "utterly incompatible", they're largely compatible. For example, lasers work here on Earth, and between the Earth and its moon. Moreover, hydrogen maser clocks and cesium et al.'s hyperfine transitions are used in clocks which are sensitive to nearby mass concentrations, and altitude above the Earth.

There are whole textbooks written on the limit in which General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics work well together, with Birrell & Davies 1984 https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SEnaUnrqzrUC being the most widely used by graduate students (and as a reference book for researchers).

Indeed, such textbooks go into where GR & QM make incompatible predictions, and almost all of those are in the limit of strong gravity, which in turn is almost certainly always deep within an event horizon, or isolated in the very very very early universe.

Semi-classical gravity (SCG) works well as an "effective field theory", and simply marries a classical curved spacetime (General-Relativity style) with a relativistic quantum field theory (standard-model-of-particle-physics style). In particular, with minor caveats, on the cusp of strong gravity SCG is successful enough in the astrophysical study of stellar remnants that it is reasonably believed to be good everywhere outside black hole horizons and after the very early universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiclassical_gravity -- one of the caveats is noted there, namely given a sizeable mass (> kilograms) brought into a superposition of space, it is not clear at all what SCG predicts a cavendish apparatus or other gravimeter will point to. This is a possible incompatibility of SCG's two more-fundamental theories in the weak gravitational field, low-energy matter, and low-speeds-compared-to-c limit, and is a puzzle that hopefully will be informed by clear experimental data some day.

Since we can't get information back from inside a black hole horizon; can't see anything in the very very early universe (electromagnetism hadn't "frozen out" of the GUT yet for instance); direct detectors of very early universe gravitational radiation are implausibly hard engineering tasks; and a bowling ball sized mass will be extremely hard to keep in a coherent state for reasonably long periods of time; these are really academic problems rather than practical ones.

> which are kind of invisible taxes in that they are paid through higher prices rather than directly—which is part of what made a former president's boasting about raising tariffs somewhat absurd. It seemed he believed that the exporting country paid the price of the tariffs and not domestic consumers in the form of higher prices

Depends on the tariffs. If done correctly, they can be used to protect a local industry in its infancy until it is mature enough to compete on the world stage (assuming you don't stifle its own innovation via these subsidies).

But in this case, Brazil wasn't making an iPhone/Mac competitor

>I even think that China could make the entire west civilization collapse just by stopping their exportation.

Then the West retaliates by stopping their export to China of even more basic things like food. I'm guessing China needs food imports much more than the West needs cheap plastic wares, knock off products, and other less critical than food things.

Flags and downvotes show up once you have enough karma (people have given you enough upvotes on your submissions and comments). You will see the down arrow below the up arrow once you get to that point, submissions don't get downvoted. "Flag" for submissions are on the comment page for the submission and underneath the submission title for the list pages (the main page, new page, etc.). "Flag" for comments is visible when you click the timestamp on a comment or the "reply" link (this provides a bit of friction, which is good for flagging as it's a more serious thing than downvoting).

https://math.mit.edu/academics/undergrad/major/course18/pure...

though I am a little surprised that they have 1 course of differential equations in there instead of complex analysis as a required topic, as I think the latter is a better pure math topic. But it's MIT, so be it. Whether directly or indirectly, many of us learned to view math the MIT way by patiently working through foundational books like Artin and Munkres.

That said, my mention of non-introductory algebra topics probably is more of a personal idiosyncracy/interest.
>> I agree about consistent terminology, but I don't agree with your view that it is a virtue for technical writing to be boring.

I don't agree either, I think it's _not a flaw_, not a virtue! Anyway, all I talk about is the _writing style_, not the content of a scientific paper. That's a different thing. But you can't really teach how to make exciting research contributions.

I agree also that repetition is not a flaw in and of itself. Minimalism is a thing, after all.

As to older papers, I kind of agree that they are often more pleasant to read, but the problem is that the more people work on a subject, the more new, subtle aspects of the subject become apparent that have to be made clear in writing.

Also, this is very unfortunate but terms can become overloaded with time as people use them in different ways. Sometimes I read older papers that seem to take some term for granted, but I find myself being utterly confused about what, exactly, they mean, among many different meanings of the term. For example, some of the reviewers I note above were frustrated with my work complained about my use of the word "predicate", which I was certain at the time can't be misunderstood... but is in fact used in different ways by different communities.

Thanks for the interest in my work. My second Machine Learning Journal paper is the much better written one, although it's rather a bit thick with formalisms and proofs etc. and won't be easy to read without a background in logic programming.

I have seen 1:1s used more strategically by employees who have 1on1 with managers outside their team. These employees often get promoted quickly. Note, at performance review time, employees are stacked against each other. If the other managers know you well and are giving you advice then chances are they won't push back if your manager ranks you highly. In addition, employees are ranked by how much they influence others so it helps to have a relationship with the other team leads and to know their goals. Furthermore, some managers don't care about their direct report's careers so having a 1on1 with another manager gives you a chance to get advice that your manager might not want you to know. For example, your manager most likely will not tell you how to be promoted above him/her; if you talk to another manager you can learn this.

I think you're right, their goal is to set up heavy weapons like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_rocket_launcher

to bombard Kyiv. Doing so is a challenge because the only thing equal to the rate that kind of weapon can launch damaging rockets is the rate at which it has to be resupplied. Thus to make that large scale attack they have to be in control of logistics.

That design interview checklist seems on-point to me.

I almost only conduct PM / technical design interviews now, so I rarely get to go into that much depth with candidates (don't expect PM candidates to get nearly as far as dev candidates), but that looks like an ideal breadth and depth.

> But IMO this is only for you, not to impress the interviewer. In my experience, asking no questions didn't affect the result. For example, by the time I did the 3 coding interviews at Google I was mentally exhausted and couldn't muster the energy to ask them anything. I still got an offer. Your mileage may vary.

Correct this should absolutely be true. Unless your question is something blatantly offensive, it doesn't matter one way or the other. That time is for you, and has no affect on your feedback.

I say should, because, well... people are people.
Wall of text on point. I got a shelter dog 5~ years ago and it is a relatively difficult breed. I knew nothing about dogs. But I love it and take care of it (because I take ownership of my decisions, particularly where they involve the life of another creature), and it's gotten better over time. I also exercise caution where necessary.

If I had to do it again, I'd get an easier breed.

Are people supposed to carry boxes of masks with them now? Perhaps easy to do if you carry a purse.

Realistically most people won’t do this, and people will just end up wearing the same mask for excessive periods of time. Contaminating it over and over, taking it off, stuffing it in a dirty pocket with money, keys, whatever and putting it back on.

That’s a big policy failure.

AUKUS involved countries already in NATO-like agreements with the US (UK is in NATO, Australia in ANZUS) so it doesn't really change much in terms of security alignment.

I find the pricing page confusing though. First, the "Startup" option is $99. $99 for what? A month? A year? The unit of time is missing.
Second, the "Set up a call" button is a turn-off. I don't want to call anyone. I want to simply sign up for the service to try it out, as frictionless as possible. Having to CALL someone in 2022 is exactly the opposite of that.

This is so disheartening. I work as an admin in a school that serves all grades, and the impact that this stuff has on kids is very real. I've witnessed first-hand a grown in sort of a "gambling" culture amongst kids, as early as elementary school. While loads of us may have had fun experiences trading cards and whatnot, this all still happens with kids but with a much more overt monetary component.

Part of me, though, wonders if this is just me getting older and becoming one of those "grumps." It's painfully obvious that as a whole society is moving to becoming more and more accepting of things like this (for instance, the huge push towards gambling in organized sports in the US), that it has the feel of inevitability. My sense is this will be a net social negative, but perhaps experience will prove it to be not so bad.

Bullet Holes and Bias: The Story of Abraham Wald
These things have all kinds of social implications.

In the capital of Turkey, Ankara, the islamist mayor cut all the public transport after 00:00, making late evening events(concerts or simply socializing in bars and clubs) inaccessible to younger people from poorer backgrounds because the taxis were expensive and abusive(the taxi lobby was protected by the same government).

This caused divides between the youth and hindered the arts and entertainment scene for many many years.

Some stuff is essential services. Like the airlines, they must be available and accessible even when it’s not profitable. It often needs to be subsidized, the subsidy can come from the central government or the users of the service can share the cost of the unprofitable operations.

When you fail in that, the whole society and economy crumbles.

> Based on your last point, I feel like the environment point you raise is just trying to add more juice to your argument while in reality, your argument is mostly based on not liking cryptocurrencies emotionally.

I don't like cryptos because of their negative externalities, not the other way round :-)

As long as the majority of crypto transactions have these negative externalities, any action that promotes crypto is bad. As software engineers, you should already know that blockchain tech is inferior to existing technologies, and that it won't be relevant in the long-term. So why help promote cryptos now?

You need 128 random bits to seed the generator (i.e., two uint64 variables).

The bits1 and bits2 arguments to pcg32.New() should each be 64 bits of "noise".

They may be drawn from /dev/urandom or whatever. You can use crypto/rand.Read() from Go's standard library, for example. Just read 16 bytes using crypto/rand.Read() and use encoding/binary.LittleEndian.Uint64() to produce bits1 and bits2.

Or you can use a hash to produce bits1 and bits2. If you want to use a constant seed, take 32 hex digits from an arbitrary git commit id. Like this: bits1=0xd240853866f20fc3 bits2=0xe536cb3bca86c86c

It's an orthogonal issue.
