Not a lawyer so this is only anecdotal but It is actually very hard to sue a doctor unless its egregious to my understanding and your rewards are limited to the point where most lawyers are hesitant to take the case due to that. Have a family member that got a colonoscopy and the doctor commented after that there was a bit of a tough time getting it in but he just pushed a little harder and all was fine. That push actually perforated the bowel and he got sepsis and spent 3 weeks in the hospital and many months with a coloscopy bag. No lawyer would take the case.
in my view:

anyone can build a suicide vest or IED. it's much harder to attribute than a nuke. even if you have the uranium, you need precisely-shaped explosive lenses and lots of machined parts for a regular atomic bomb, not to mention tritium and highly-classified knowledge for hydrogen bombs. you also can't covertly test it. even if you had a nuke that got lost in the 90s, you would need to replace its tritium , and likely other components. even after all that, you might be able to attribute the radioactive material by analyzing isotopes from the fallout. it'd just be a monumental stretch to claim the Ukrainians somehow assembled their own nuke in a matter of weeks. even with Russia's propaganda I can't see anyone inside the country or out buying it.

a dirty bomb (the rumor Putin is running) is more feasible, since it's just a conventional bomb with radioactive shrapnel. but that's much less dramatic, and would be feasible to clean up without incurring many casualties, unless it's air-dropped. so I don't think a dirty bomb would be cause for thermonuclear retaliation - it plays more like using a chemical weapon.

also, as crazy as Putin is, I have a hard time believing anyone at FSB would follow an order to nuke their own citizens.

No, you still need something to create the gravity waves. The idea is that once a gravity wave has passed through a region of spacetime it leaves a permanent deformation. In the case of a detector like LIGO this means rather than the mirrors wobbling relative to each other and then settling down to their previous configuration, in fact they are left in a (very slightly) permanently altered configuration. The difference is probably way too small to detect though, for now anyway.
Looking at Chechnya, the Georgian-Ossettian-Russian war, and observing that the entirety of Eastern Europe lurched into camp West around that time period, you don't have to be Nostradamus to imagine that Russia's desire to keep as much of the Soviet empire with it as possible will manifest sooner or later.

Which has nothing to do with its demographics, and everything to do with its politics.

... Also, Ukraine is facing the exact same demographic stresses as Russia. Also, demographics don't matter as much as, broadly speaking, industrial capacity in modern wars. They aren't about throwing an entire generation of men into million-casualty-offensives over no-man's-land.
I kind of have a hard time believing this. Especially since the causation could run the other way. Declining birth rates are probably due to a lot of factors, the biggest being use of birth control, discouraging women from having children, societal attacks on traditional gender roles, obesity, lower testosterone/sperm levels in men due to lack of exercise/chemical pollutants/cultural factors.

I'd be very interested to see this research. I have a hard time believing that anything positive will be done about the birth rate if this is what they are teaching at a masters level.

I also think the cost of having children is completely overblown, people just simply aren't willing to make the sacrifices.

I wrote a program to distribute my lecture slides to my students in real time.

When I was a University Professor, I taught Theory of Computing (among other classes). I did not want to maintain two sets of slides (fill-in-the-blank style), and I didn't want the students to have to write non-stop during the lecture, so I wrote a couple of programs to distribute the slides in real time during the lecture.

Part 1: C++. A program ran on my computer. When I pressed a button, it took a screen shot of my chosen monitor and sent it to my server. Communication via websockets.

Part 2: Browser. Students connected to my server at the start of class. As I lectured, the slides appeared in their browser automatically. Of course, they could click through all previous slides (for that day as well as previous lectures), but if they were not actively browsing the slides, then the newest slide presented itself to them automatically. (Technically, it was always one slide behind, because I would not release a slide until I was done talking about it.) Communication via websockets. It worked in lectures attended by 100+ students.

Part 3: NodeJS. My server received screenshots from me (as well as some metadata), kept a small database of all past lectures/screenshots, and served a browsable interface to the students. It routed all the websocket connections so that everything "just worked"TM.

I thought it was cool. The students complained that the slides were not searchable like a PDF. I directed them to the index of the textbook.
Haha, no problemo.
I avoid that because it risks harming the spider - the cup/card interface is basically one giant moving pinch point, and the force required to cause traumatic amputation is insignificant by human standards. But they can only secrete silk so quickly, which makes the escape thread itself very serviceable as a means of carrying them to safety - just raise your hand gradually as they extend the thread, so they don't touch down until you want them to.

It depends on the spider, too. Orb weavers are reliably fearful, which makes sense given how little they can perceive away from a web, but I've had the occasional salticid climb up to perch on my knuckles with no sign of dismay, and wait to hop off until I bring my hand close to a suitable surface.

Probably increased salary and switch to permanent remote. Amazon is notorious for their frugality and they recently doubled their maximum salary cap to 350k. They would only have done this to stay competitive in the current job market. This implies that many of their existing employees are underpaid relative to their peers at comparable companies and they've likely seen a large uptick in attrition. Not to mention attrition begets more attrition, especially if it's "influential" employees who are leaving.

There are many cases in which we might want the government to mandate something and direct the cost towards a particular group. For example, when a societal cost is caused by the choices of a particular group. Distributing this cost equally or progressively may be a less fair way to do it. And in some cases, distributing this cost to society as a whole may remove an important financial disincentive for bad behavior.

e.g.:

* making polluters responsible for cleanup costs

* making investors responsible for the costs of overseeing the markets they profit from

* making bad drivers responsible for paying for the consequences of their actions

I'd say it's more fair to say that we could distribute costs to society when it's a public service that generally benefits everyone, or the disadvantaged. But I don't think we would want to distribute societal costs incurred by the rich or reckless.

Could it be that Boeing engineers made this presentation vague and confusing on purpose? I mean the article presumes that the engineers had poor PowerPoint skills, but it seems to me that this could have been cover-your-ass type of situation (also perhaps similar to Challenger disaster story).

I mean obviously Boeing engineers need to communicate to NASA their assessment of the situation, but they don't want to be blamed for any technical difficulties (e.g. if second shuttle would have to be launched to save the crew). So they think Columbia will probably be fine, but let's communicate our worries to NASA, but let's do that in deliberately vague and conspicuous language, in hope that NASA managers won't see the fine print.
That's why I'm noticing studies that use "all cause mortality". In other words, some people receive X treatment and a similar control group does not. Then you look at how many died in each group regardless of cause because it's just too difficult (and death is pretty much a binary measure). For example, cholesterol lowering drugs (I don't have a source) seem to have no impact on all-cause-mortality, suggesting a failure in our understanding.

>> I wouldn't be so quick to give up on this and embrace the "papers should be
boring" mindset

I never said, nor meant, that "papers should be boring", or even that technical
writing should be boring. What I said, exactly, was:

"Boring" is not a flaw, in technical writing.

I think it's interesting how not only your comment, but those of others, misread
that part of my comment and made a jump from "boring is not a flaw" to "papers
should be boring".

The reason I think it is interesting is because it reveals the amount of work
that must go into a technical text to avoid such misunderstandings. For every
single statement that matters, for every single point that is made, in a paper,
there is a number of ways to misunderstand it, of varying degrees of
obvious-ness. As a paper author, you have to try to think of each and every one
of them, try to predict how likely it is that different kinds of readers will
commit those kinds of misundestanding, and then try to defend your text against
the most likely ones, at the very least. Since some of your readers are going to
be reviewers, doing this well is the difference between getting your paper
published, getting it rejected, or having it accepted with "minor" revisions
(which are only so "minor" as the possibility for misunderstandings, so usually,
not that much). So this anticipation of potential misunderstandings is a vital,
essential skill that you develop as a paper writer.

Er. I mean "scientist", of course.

For this (oops) reason, I disagree with the use of pronouns etc. I actively try
to avoid sentences like "This suggests" or "That means" or "It is an efficient
way to" etc. just because I'm sure that "this", "that", "it", and their friends,
will only serve to misdirect the reader's attention. Because when you write
"it", you're thinking of X, but when the reader reads "it", they are actually
thinking of Y, just because they're more interested in Y, so "it" is just a
point of confusion. And that (oops) will _always_ happen because the author of a
paper and the paper's readers will have different interests and tend to focus on
different parts of a paper.

The way I think about the use of pronouns is a little bit like loops in
assembly: you want to "unroll" them to improve efficiency. Similarly, I always
"dereference" pointer-words like pronouns etc, to remove ambiguity.

You're not the person I replied to. It was intended to be dismissive in response to "You don't get to message someone and cry "spam" when he replies.".

As for the response, it would be unsolicited by the fact the original tweeter did not ask/want a response from the Meme-ster. They tagged the wrong account.

Emily says to John: What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals.... etc....

John's reaction to Emily: WTF who the hell is this? Why is she saying these things to me?

Now imagine this happens to be a common mistake that multiple make and Emily responds in this way every time...

Thanks for bringing up this point! I think there are definitely times where self-hosting authentication might make sense, but I'll respectfully disagree that most people should do this.

Every component that gets added to your infrastructure is just "another thing" that you have to worry about in terms of uptime, monitoring, security, staying current, and so on. Personally, I'd rather not worry about any of that for something that isn't part of my core competency. Certainly there is a cost/benefit analysis to be made, mostly for larger companies.

I know we won't likely agree on this point, and that's ok! I just wanted to share an alternative perspective. :-)
>> 2. Do you want more interesting work?

>> Also no, I'm perfectly happy maintaining our current codebase, not interested in new and shiny projects because my most interesting time is spent at home with my kiddo.

So as a manager my concern here is you're communicating I don't want to grow or add more value. I'm not sure if that's your intent. There are actually very few roles where I've needed someone to "just keep doing exactly what you're doing right now", and they are typically short-term bridges to more important projects or quickly devolve into lowest-cost commodity solutions.

You don't have to get promoted or work on bleeding-edge tech, but you definitely need to grow. If you're not growing, your stagnating, and your time is limited.

The follow-on comments from other managers about how you're a dream IC really scare me; they present a mindset that developers are a problem that needs to be solved as easily as possible. Give me a demanding, passionate and yes, needy, developer over someone who's stopped progressing every time.

>> Any tips on how I can handle my 1:1s?

Don't share that you're perfectly content with the current status-quo and that you don't want any further growth or responsibility.
>Instead of the government acting as either entirely public or entirely private, why shouldn’t it act instead as a mediator between the public and the private? This seems to be the most logical decision for me compared to either full socialism or full libertarianism.

It depends on the context of mediation. In one sense, government-as-mediator is completely compatible with a libertarian nightwatchman state so long as such mediation is impartial and does not infringe on public and private rights of either party.

But I don't think such a distinction helps here, as the functional differences between taxis and Uber amount to little more than legal fiction.

I'm confused, I don't understand the point you're making. Could you elaborate?
Nexus Mutual and InsureAce are two independent entities but still those are fair points.

However did you know that FDIC insurance only requires 1.35% reserves? Of course they can also have the FED print money which drives further inflation for everyone.

Net, net, no the guarantees are not the same but government-backed insurance isn’t as safe as we would like to assume.

Also, outside the US, deposits are only 100% insured up to very modest limits. Banks offer no insurance above these modest limits.

As a timely example in Ukraine only deposits up to 200,000 UAH are insured. At the current UAH:USD conversion rate, that means only up to $6,600USD of deposits are protected. Anything over that amount has zero coverage.

Crypto stablecoins can provide options for those in need. Please don’t immediately dismiss them simply because you personally may not see the use-case.
The pre-installed apps are on a read-only partition. And it's not a stub of the app, it is the full app. When you install an update for one of those apps, the device will have both the original version on the read-only partition and the updated version on a mutable one. Uninstalling will only remove the updated version.

There is no explicit factory image stored somewhere, the reset to a factory state is achieved by clearing the mutable storage. This achieves getting the device to a clean state since the read-only storage is guaranteed to be in the same state as to begin with.

(The read-only storage does get updated on an OS upgrade. That's why a factory reset will not downgrade the OS itself.)
Yes. It's just that the "global endpoint" is misleading. They don't repoint it if it fails. It really shouldn't exist given that's how it functions.
I think the US would prefer a strong but US-friendly Russia to counter other actors in the area. Strong does not mean expansionist.

Trying to set-up regimes is mostly miss --we have quite a bit of experience in that area including Ukraine with the Orange revolution, KSA... and obviously many other places as well. Russia/the SU have an equal amount of experience but have had better results --served better (Cuba, Belarus, Kazakhstan, etc.)
Sure. So why is Russia even talking about it?

Maybe they could invade China for some drummed up reason (reunite the communist world idk) and then find these labs and talk about them there too?
I understand what you're writing (I think), but I don't think I understand how the implications would be consistent with relativity unfortunately. I thought gravity is (supposedly) caused by the deformation of space. If your space isn't flat, then you're going to experience acceleration (aka gravity) at that point, right? And if this deformation is permanent, then its source is already long gone - meaning that when you look down to see why you're falling, you see that there's no matter or energy causing you to fall. Which seems weird to me because I thought you need some kind of matter/energy to cause space to curve (and hence feel gravity/acceleration). Is that not the case?
