With a bit of looking, you can find A Business and Its Beliefs by Thomas J. Watson, Jr., published as part of the McKinsey lecture series. He does cite the UNIVAC as the shock that made IBM understand what it had to do.

Unfortunately, the lectures were delivered before the S/360 was announced. It would have been interesting to read what he had to say about that.
That’s because it’s expensive, not because people don’t want it. It’s always cleaned out in stores in the UK.
The invasion was not at all defensive as defined in U.N. charter article 51. This war is a direct violation of article 2. Russia is a party to the charter, this war is expressly prohibited under it. Russia is also a party to the Budapest Memorandum in which they recognized Ukraine's sovereignty and 1994 borders, with the only condition being Ukraine become a non-nuclear nation under the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty.

Had Ukraine been a member of NATO or the EU would Russia have invaded? Almost certainly not, and that's because of the credible use of overwhelming military power to repel such an attempt. Why is the U.N. system inadequate in this case? Article 39 and 41 give the Security Council the power to repel breaches to the peace using armed force. But Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council and thus effectively has a veto vote (lack of consent to use armed forces against itself is a certain outcome).

This exposes a real problem when the belligerent is a member of the Security Council. And as Russia cannot be trusted to honor their agreements, and the U.N. Security Council in matters involving Russian aggression can't be depended on, it is completely reasonable for the EU to bring in Ukraine and Georgia as members rather than have Russia initiate yet another war right on Europe's doorstep. This is the third time Putin has waged an aggressive war without provocation or any compelling case for defense.

And hopefully it still is a post-WW2 world. Putin is seemingly making a case of a pre-WW2 view of "might makes right" without any international system of peacefully resolving disputes. He's certainly not bound by any agreements. It's a recipe for a very expensive second Cold War.
And so we come back to the eternal question: who decides between information/disinformation and what are their biases?

There's LKH http://webhotel4.ruc.dk/~keld/research/LKH/ which is heuristics and best open implementation. Adding optimality estimates is the least complicated part.

When TSP is mentioned today, unlike 50 years ago when LK heuristic got published, I assume all of the popular & practical variants, like time window constraints, pickup and delivery, capacity constraints, max drop time requirement after pickup, flexible route start, adding location independent breaks (break can happen anytime in the sequence or in a particular time window of day) etc. Some of the subproblems are so constrained that you cannot even move around that effectively as you can with raw TSP.

Some of the subproblems have O(n) or O(n log n) evaluations of best local moves, generic solvers are even worse at handling that (Concorde LP optimizations cannot cover that efficiently). When no moves are possible, you have to see what moves brings you back to a feasible solution and how many local changes you need to do to accomplish this.

For example, just adding time windows complicates or makes most well known TSP heuristics useless. Now imagine if we add a requirement between pairs of locations that they need to be at most X time apart (picking up and then delivering perishable goods), that the route can start at an arbitrary moment etc.

I personally spent quite a lot of time working on these algorithms and I'd say the biggest issue is instance representation (is it enough to have a sequence of location ids ?). For example, one of my recent experiments was using zero suppressed binary decision diagrams to easily traverse some of these constrained neighborhoods and maintain the invariants after doing local changes. Still too slow for some instances I handle (real world is 5000 locations, 100 salesmen and an insane amount of location/salesmen constraints).

Yes. You need a CAV tag. I started applying for one and then I noticed they wanted to pre-charge my credit card $25. I may not use an HOV lane for months and yet they want to take my money now for some reason.
> It’s no coincidence that I’ve only learned a chunk of Rust - I skipped async, concurrency and parts of the standard library which I didn’t need.

I think this is why you don't think it's significantly better. I use JS and Python for most of my work, but when I want something that must do threading correctly or is performance bound, then I go to Rust over C++. That level of safety is the critical value for me.

(I also find it significantly easier to compile Rust than the typical C++ build chain, especially when doing cross platform work, but that's more a compiler than language issue.)
Agreed. Road damage scales as the _fourth power_ of the axle weight. That's bonkers, you don't see that exponent in many phenomena.

The question is how to move the funds around, as state taxes and road funding stop at state borders, but vehicles don't. And of course states will have a patchwork of registration rules, and won't share money with each other. So the trucking industry will lobby some state to be a tax haven, and all trucks will just be registered there.

If only we had some sort of organization that allows states to solve issues that happen between states, like a larger government function...
>> I think the edge solvespace has over the closed-source competition is that it's actually enjoyable to use.

That is IMHO exactly why people use it, myself included. It really encourages a sort of "play" with the model which seems to come from heavy use of the constraint solver. You never enter dimensions in a property window somewhere, you enter them right on the sketch which means your focus is almost always right there. The interactivity is very high for a CAD tool.

The concept sounds interesting.

My kids use DuoLingo and Khan Academy for learning and their methods seem effective. Would you consider yourself a “DuoLingo for exams”, or is your learning philosophy different enough that that’s not accurate?

Some feedback on the site:

1) I’d suggest replace “Remember everything” with something less absolute. I don’t that’s a realistic goal and had me doubting the rest of what I was reading. Humans forget sometimes and that’s OK.

2) A lot of words were underlined. I thought they were links.

Good luck with your business!
I said this because the design of new MacBooks and Mac Studios are completely following the need of creative producers. I would never use a SD card reader, and really don't need that slot to appear on my laptop. The return of those utilities is an obvious bias of the design.
Even if that were so, it strikes me as odd to characterise the author — one of the world's more accomplished software professionals — as blissfully ignorant.

I think this is liable to be an extremely confounding aspect of the venture - that meat naturally grows in the context of a living animals immune system which interfaces with the wider microbial reality. Diverse diseases arise and wane through extremely ancient dynamics which we are not close to having full knowledge or command over. I could not trust commercially driven scientific assurances from the present age, that food of all things can be mass produced safely in such a biologically novel scheme. It is not so long ago since all where shocked by the novel generation and danger of Prions in the food chain, some years later that "Junk DNA" is not in fact Junk, etc...

While some risk of strange new disease would still be chanced - it would be orders of magnitude less extreme if this cell cloning technology concentrated in early days, on mass producing leathers and furs, rather than the very matter we put into our living bodies.
Not sure what you mean exactly by commercial art pursuits? I'd say about 99% of NFT projects are garbage but I'm a fan of artblocks (https://www.artblocks.io/).

I can talk more about how the system works if you are interested, but some established generative artists have created projects on their platform and have made more than they could before web3.

Oh man, the perils are endless. Back when I worked on an RSS aggregator I wrote a list. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cvq67iQpk2C7ufOsefsfKnGC...

A few comments on your list:

2. People got suuuuuper confused about this. I agree several kB is too long, though I could see a case for allowing a (reasonable length) URL, as that's a natural ID in some environments.

3. Yeah, basically if there's a fast rate of publishing relative to feed length you have issues. Another way to handle this would be to say the feed must have the last X days of content, and interested readers have to check back at least that often. Not a problem for always-on aggregator sites, though it could be an issue for occasionally-connected clients (eg, smartphone standalone app)

4. To be fair that's a feature in a lot of cases. Some sites have to monetize content somehow or other.

5. Or share buttons...

6. IKR?! For all my complaints I still wish RSS was used more!
I dunno I've run into very basic bugs in Mypy and I even went as far as trying to fix them myself. If you had read the code you wouldn't have such a high opinion of it!

In contrast Pyright seems to get pretty much everything right, even really subtle things, and if it is really a bug then the guy that maintains it is insanely good at fixing them. Seriously check out how many open/closed issues there are.

As for variable redefinition, Python stupidly doesn't prescribe semantics so it's perfectly valid for it to behave like that. Definitely arguable which way it should go and I think for clarity it's much better to use different names anyway. It's not because they don't understand anything.

Mypy has way crazier behaviours anyway, e.g. implicit making types optional. Different behaviour depending on the syntax used to add types, etc.
I'm European, so yeah, certainly not yours.

Slight nitpick -- I think that's only true as long as interest and investment returns don't rise to keep up with inflation + real return + tax levels on investment income. But, not relevant here, since they're definitely not keeping up.

Tor is not anonymous just like VPN's are not anonymous when you have 5eyes oversight of the network. Its like watching trucks navigating around the road network, you can see the junctions they take and you can see where they start and end, but you cant see the contents of the truck.

Actually, to lazy to dig it up, but TX has these huge lane sized shoulders on many roads. They are called "improved shoulders" and there are a half dozen cases where they are legally used as lanes. Including the case of a single lane road where someone is stopped in the main travel lane turning left, the shoulder may be used to pass them! (On the right).

The more common (legal) use though is as a turning lane.
Sure, if you perform an arbitrary operation on a multidimensional array. But the same is true of any representation of any mathematical object. It makes no physical sense to take the sine of a mass, or two to the power of a length. But that doesn't mean that whenever someone says "oh, the mass of an object is a real number" I need to nitpick them.
On the contrary, US housing is incredibly socialized, which is why we have some of the worst affordability in the world. The capitalist, free market approach would be to allow landowners to build almost anything they want on their land, but US housing construction is incredibly tightly regulated and prevents that. Consider that despite San Francisco having some of the most unaffordable housing in the country, it's illegal to build an apartment building in 70% of the city [0]. Deregulating construction and renting would result in an increase in supply and allow the price to come down. (Imagine a world where cars are too expensive – would you support making the production of new cars illegal, because those are "luxury" cars only the rich can afford? No, you'd want those cars to be produced so the rich buy them instead of bidding against a poorer person on a used car.)

Another commenter mentioned Denmark's housing is also socialized. To see how they're doing, I googled until I found an english version of their public housing department's website [1]:

> We rent out our 13.500 apartments on a strictly first come first serve basis. Our waiting list is very long, so expect to wait at least five years for your first offer.

As expected, there's no getting around the laws of economics. If there are 10,000 houses and 15,000 people who want to live in them, something will prevent 5,000 of the people who want a house from getting one. If you put the houses on the market and ban new housing construction (apparently the American way), the 5,000 people with the least purchasing power will be the ones unable to get a house. If you instead use a waiting list, the people without a house will be the ones least able to wait on a 5-year-long waiting list.

Meanwhile, Japan has a sane government and allows new construction, and the price of an unsubsidized Tokyo apartment has actually gone down in real terms even as the population doubled in the last few decades. Housing in Japan is considered a depreciating asset – it gets cheaper every year.

The reason US housing is so dysfunctional is exactly like you say, only you have the mechanism backwards. The owning class, who are much more politically connected, are able to use the government to prevent new housing from being built and devaluing their property. When encountering a problem caused by too much government intervention, I find it odd to suggest even more government intervention. Sure, maybe there's something the government can do to fix it, but the American people can't even stop the government from ruining the housing market right now, so why should we have any confidence that socializing housing further will improve things?

To me that is sensible in that a strongly opinionated framework is conducive to hiring temporary talent into.

Not to disagree with your conclusion just that it seems likely to bias in favor of ruby and rails.
They have definitely avoided the vast majority of deleterious effects from an overloaded health system, but it's definitely very harsh and severe to be instructed that you're now not allowed to leave your house for a month particularly when by world standards for freedom you are used to ranking right at the top. I think it meets the colloquial usage of draconian. Though I would say that word has a negative connotation indicating ones discontent at the state of things imposed on you by an authority. In my experience the vast majority of people initially supported the lockdowns and compliance was very high as we figured we just should do what we need to do and not fuss too much about it. I myself never labelled it draconian as I was in support of it, but those who were not in support of it at the time used that term.
It’s even simpler than that.

There are some people who simply don’t function as well when they don’t eat meat. “But I’m vegan and I do just fine, in fact it I feel better then when I was eating meat”. I don’t doubt you, but I also don’t doubt the ex-vegans who tried and tried, but just felt awful and tired until they reintroduced meat. Different people have different metabolisms, and some people just can’t properly digest certain foods for some reason.

Meat has a much higher concentration of protein and iron than vegan food. Even foods like tofu and seitan (sold refrigerated at grocery stores) are only 50% protein while chicken breast is around 90% and lean fish is almost 100%. The only vegan alternatives which do have a comparable ratio (protein powder, TVP) are basically pure protein extracted from vegetables, the quality and bioavailability doesn’t compare (apparently the human body is bad at absorbing pure nutrients vs. “natural” food that contains them). Many ex-vegans have been consistently anemic, even while taking iron supplements, until they re-introduced meat.

Not everyone does this. Eg. My parents use Alexa but keep their cell phone by the door or on their nightstand.

You already answered one: Cooking, etc. But also some people have other household members. The communal nature of the device matches the communal nature of a household. If I hear an announcement saying to put laundry in drier, I can act on it even if I didn't start laundry. Or if there's an timer to take something out of oven, I can act even if the cook is in the bathroom.

Putting aside the "darker" forms of communication whose intentions are to hide, obscure, or mislead, there are manifold good reasons why good intentioned communicators use quantities (e.g. statistics) differently.

One significant underlying reason is that different authors make different value judgments and want to tell different narratives.

For a given set of values and narrative, there are many questions to consider, such as:

- Should a change be expressed summarized as one scalar?

- As a difference? As a division? As a percentage change? (Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_change_and_difference for many ways to do it; you might be surprised at the number of ways)

- Should the initial and final quantities be specifically mentioned?

- But what are the appropriate "initial" and "final" quantities? These are tied into the goals (above).

Is a relative change best expressed as

No state is going to want to give up revenues for people who use their roads but live elsewhere. Plenty of major cities are on the border with other states with commuters going back and forth.

Oregon tested GPS trackers as a way to track where those miles are driven and tax people accordingly (you could get a rebate on your tax paid at the pump). Understandably, people balked at having their driving tracked so closely and it never got out of the testing phase.

Now, with pretty much every new car having a tracker installed by the manufacturer, some state will surely try again.

Rassenkunde (study of human races) was very much in vogue pretty much 100 years ago. This pseudo science is very much also infused by politics and power (to justify suppressing fellow humans).

I see no evidence to show that it is worse today then it was in the future. In fact due to things like preregistration of studies, double blind procedures the reliability has probably increased. It becomes harder and harder to cheat.

There are no coordinates to transform in an ordinary tensor space and therefore no way for a tensor to be affected by such a transformation.

Sure there are: Any basis of the underlying vector space(s) induces a basis of the tensor space. Components respective to some basis are coordinates. You can then investigate what happens to the induced basis (or rather, the respective components) under a basis transformation of the underlying vector space(s), which is where the "physicist's" definition of tensors originates.
