> You can’t improve what you can’t measure.

I can't stand this cliche. You can improve things you can't measure, we do this all the time, and the things worth improving most are often hard to measure. Setting objective goals are important to keep us honest with ourselves, but in that same vein, we should continuously acknowledge that, unless we are working in hard sciences, we are usually measuring proxies to what we really care about, and it's often hard to pick a representative measure.

As an example:

> Measures can be as simple as number of experiments per person per team or something more complicated.

I've seen this exact scenario in a large company I used to work for. The outcome was that some teams would hit their goal by running garbage experiments. It was a net negative for the product, because garbage still occasionally shows statistical significance. Acknowledge that the measure is an imperfect proxy, identify in what ways the measure could fail to represent the true desired outcome, and control for those (in this case, e.g. some oversight on experiment quality).
The Erlang approach would be to kill them, and spin up a new one.

The OPS approach would be to do health checks, and try to figure out who wasn't using infra-as-code tools again.

QA would double down to figure out the root cause of the divergence from specification.

Infosec would do one of two things. Blue team would quarantine, probe, feed false info, and try to coax a fingerprint out of them. Red team would try to get in their house, figure out who she knows, what her passwords are, and what her music collection looks like.

Devs would add them as a dependency. No questions asked.
Housing cannot be both affordable and a good investment / retirement plan.

Correction: A guy hiding in a bush wasn't able to reliably defeat tanks before.

Handheld old anti-tank weapons like RPGs with HEAT warheads were extremely unreliable, defeated by reactive explosive armors, successful only at very close range and so on. Modern ATGMs able to be fired from kilometers away and with >90% kill rates completely changes the dynamic. Those systems are only going to get smarter and cheaper when there is a physical limit on the armor+weight+cost+logistical support equation for tanks.
That isn't really fair, it is comparing 90's American tech which has presumably been updated over time to, essentially, minimally maintained Soviet tech. Maybe that last 7% is the tanks they've made since ~1990.

Humans in general are capable of evil, not just private actors, and I fail to see how governmental activity in space was, on average, more honorable than whatever Musk or Bezos are planning to do there.

By far the most space-interested arm of a government is the military and plainclothed spies. Neither are particularly morally virtuous.

There are currently laws built around a 40-hour work week, so it seems to make sense that if this were to change, it would _have_ to change at the state/federal level.
I would agree with you (Pixel 6).

I've found that any problem I have can be solved with something on f-droid / google play and by googling it. This isn't dissimilar to the experience in linux for my headless NAS or VPS to figure out how to run a new service or learning to use borg backup.

Backup photos via SMB share every night if on local wifi/VPN'd home? Sync calendar, contacts with nextcloud via dav? Schedule a copy of my sandboxed work outlook calendar from Nine into a dav calendar so I can share it (read only) with family? Spit tunnel wireguard traffic? All these work without having to root and I'm not spending my evening trying to fix driver issues. I didn't spend an entire evening on these away from family.

I'm not happy giving away the sum total of my experience on this planet to Google but this device just works and it works well. Some conveniences like Android Auto keep me from going to CalyxOS.
I think open auction really would be better. Allow full information on bids and participants can drop out when their absolute limit is reached.
Yes. And as you mention, sometimes it is just the preparer committing fraud (e.g. falsely claiming refundable credits) without the client's explicit cooperation, although clients also spread the word about what a "great job" their preparer did for them. Since the preparer avoids associating themself with all the returns they prepare, it is much harder for the IRS to detect their pattern of fraud.

The IRS and industry vendors (including Intuit) have, under the label "Security Summit", implemented things such as collecting metadata (tracking the network address from where returns are filed, how long the return was open in the software, etc), stronger password requirements with MFA required to submit returns electronically, limiting the number of refunds paid to the same address or financial account, and optionally collecting driver's license info to confirm identity.[0] It seems to have been relatively successful, as the frequent complaints of ID theft (returns filed under someone else's name) have declined significantly as a result.

Author needs to practice more ..after 125 slides he/she could not communicate clearly to me that the underlying hypothesis is true.
The numbers don't add up. The US has sent 7,000 javelins to Ukraine and overall they're been sent 30,000 anti-tank weapons and Ukraine is asking for hundreds more per day. It seems unlikely those javelins have killed 6,510 (.93 * 7000) Russian tanks, or that they will be destroying hundreds more per day. Many of the drone videos released by the Ukrainians show tanks hit by ATGMs but not actually being destroyed.

For sure the Russians have lots a lot of vehicles to ATGMs, they have proved to be extremely effective weapons, especially against tanks moving forward in tight formations without infantry support. However nobody is looking at the terrible infantry casualties Russia has suffered, due to poor tactics, training and resupply, and concluding that infantry are obsolete.

Here's a video of a Ukrainian tank ambushing a Russian convoy. Seems like a pretty effective weapon system to me.

https://youtu.be/S27kw7XVvSA
Also remote controlled ATGMs and I'm sure remote controlled machine guns and other stuff (the israelis already have a lot of remote controlled machine guns afik).

The tank may not be completely obsolete and indeed properly used like the US did and like Russia sadly probably re-learned it is a very useful tool.

More defensive automation will put even that "properly used" to the test.
I think we've just scratched the surface of what AI can do for defense; for offense also, but not as much. It's now in the realm of reality (think the mossad machine gun attack in Iran) to have systems that will autonomously attack any tank/vehicle/human, just waiting in ambush. It's orders of magnitued to have offensive AI driven tanks.

Imagine 1000 Mariupols, all automated with automated machine guns, AT missiles, drones and so on. Those do not require food, no water, no sleep, are not afraid to die.

Regardless, tanks are not what they used to be in WW2 -- modern tanks are extremely expensive and there are a lot of ways to kill tanks nowdays.

The battle will go back and forth, the tanks will get active protection, the ATGMs will get a lot faster, will used efps like the NLAW, but I think the writing is on the wall. Yeah, it was said before, just like it was said about the missile making dogfights obsolete -- a little early, but true eventually.

The problem is selling real estate as "Surefire gains that never go down" and people pinning their entire life to the value of their home.

This leads to people who rabidly defend the systems that increase their property value, and these people also tend to be the local voting majority, so they can shoot down anything that they don't like.

The solution is declaring emergency powers to use eminent domain to seize unused property and build medium to high density housing on it. Yeah we'll have a few 6-fig account managers handcuffing themselves to bulldozers, but eventually it will get through.
Why would I model a serious transaction as a "game" with achievements?

> they are playing with funny money

YES YES YES YES! Negative real interest rates are pretty damn funny! We should have ended them long ago. We are now beginning to pay the price. You have identified a key way to help end the trends that you do not want to see.

> People's income is so crushed

They are being crushed by inflation! Another blow against ultra low interest rates! RATE HIKE! RATE HIKE! RATE HIKE!

> Why can't people rent to other people like it was done in the past? Why aren't regular people being allowed to play this game?

You're totally allowed!! Go buy a house, and rent out the house. You will probably need money for a down payment, but you can still get a mortgage at negative real interest rates — and if it is in the US and it is a conforming mortgage (<$647200) you will benefit from an interest rate subsidy from the quasi-public mortgage-buying entities, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It might be a great investment! I am buying a house (for myself) and have locked a rate; with current inflation numbers I can expect $2000/month in return simply from inflation eating away at my debt!

The main contraindication here is that you will experience risk, and you may be intolerant to that risk. Your investment could end up underwater, and it's hard to diversify because it's such a big asset relative to your income. This may explain why corporations are better able to do it these days.

> Even if it was a bad game to play, they're still taking houses away from those who want to buy and not rent.

It's true! Existing home-owners are not required to sell to another aspiring home-owner, and are free to sell their property as they see fit. This means that aspiring home-owners must compete with renters (and the people who renters pay, corporations). The renters (and the corporations they pay) may be willing to offer more! The existing home-owner benefits, while the aspiring home-owner does not!

There are lots of ways to use the law to strongarm people into dealing with a politically favored class, at the expense of a politically disfavored class! Some of them are discussed in these threads! I'm not a fan, myself, and believe it will harm the nation and its economy by distorting the economy into doing different things that make less sense and leave the nation overall poorer as a consequence with less money to spend on things that are more meaningful, but if you would benefit maybe you would be a fan!

Do you have a photo of this? I would love to see an example :)
I'm not sure this would help. The error was likely in thinkspace, not a literal typo. The real problem is when people toss around numbers without deeply understanding them. I don't think there's any simple fix for that. You simply can't reliably funnel information through a channel as narrow as a single number, nor the equivalent short phrase of number words.
> and the initial installation experience on Mac has been all over the place quality-wise in recent years.

In minor defense of this, Apple making the root read-only threw a pretty big wrench in things. There are a lot of little reasons (some understandable and some exasperating) it took so long to adjust, but all of them were exacerbated by the amount of new logistical complexity required (and the amount of experimentation necessary to figure it out).
Thanks a bunch, that works!

> only about 2% of properties in Toronto and Vancouver are owned by overseas investors. Yes, housing is priced at the margin, but this won't do anything at all to prices over the long term. I'm sure this will be wildly popular politically, because people LOVE the idea that some foreign boogieman is the reason their children can't afford homes anymore.

Overseas investors may own only 2%, but Canada has 23% foreign-born population. That's a lot of demand. Granted this law does nothing to address that, but it plays perfectly into the foreign boogieman you dismiss.

See, and that's where you're a dishonest hypocrite (ah, you got me there!) while moving your goalposts by miles. The religious people are all innocent, because those who aren't, aren't true believers and pharisees; but wow does that threshold drop when it comes to atheists (or 'smug materialists'), because now everything is their true god, and they just haven't realized that they really are religious, and are "just as bad as the religious people" (TM) because nothing can exist outside of religion, hallelujah.

You claim you were an atheist once, for a decade? Maybe you mistook being an atheist for being 'edgy' and smug. All it means is that I don't believe in you sky daddy. Never in my life have I talked about atheism except in response to religious people bringing up their religion and trying to explain to me how really I am religious. I just want to be left alone from your superstition, freedom from religion is the only religious freedom.

I agree with you, you're not wrong, but the people who use this argument are not arguing pragmatically. I believe this the "no dependency" argument is used by folks who want to virtue signal that they are "real programmers" because they don't use dependencies (ignore the kernel and all the drivers in it!!!) and instead use 100% stand-alone "free" software.

Just know that you're very much not alone :)
Interesting interview. He is yet another extremely wealthy man, who built his fortune on the back of Government that now claims that government is the problem... Very few businesses are as subsidized as air travel. Fed Ex could not / would not exist without the government aide it is provided. Air traffic control, airports, etc.

This toxic hubris is a big part of what is wrong with our society. These men no longer look at their fortune as a series of lucky breaks, good timing and countless hands-up by others and their government. Things that are only possible in a society that paves the way ahead of them... Instead they think they and they alone are the reason that they're successful.

The fact is that everyone "stands on the shoulders of giants".

It seems that the concept of giving back and paying forward is absent in these men. Instead, they believe they're special and anoiteted by God to drive us in a particular direction. What a change from the 19th century Robber Barrens who gifted us institutions and built the very foundation of a reasoned society (schools, libraries, research institutions etc..). Today? We get personal rockets, politically motivated think tanks and awful narcissistic ideologues who want to rule over us...

For every Gates, there are a dozen Zucks masquerading as royalty and proving that absolute power (money) absolutely corrupts.

In the same vein, I never achieve goals I set. Working out is the usual example because it's so easy to see and measure results. But if I do something casually, it improves. If I set something as a goal and try to stick to a program, it always fails due to injury, overuse, or not enough load/volume.
Not sure I agree the $8.9M cost of an M1 Abrams is 'cheap'

And you don't just have the cost of the tank - there's also the cost of all the logistics needed to get the tank to the battlefield, no matter where it is in the world - and then to feed it a constant supply of fuel, ammo, spare parts and repair.
How does that work with sales tax not being included in the displayed price?
The tank would need to actually find the ATGM team though. It's relatively easy to detect a tank in the vicinity - they're loud and big. It's a bit tougher to spot a couple of guys in a bush (or in a ditch, or behind a wall, or in a thicket, or any number of hiding places)

Totally agree with you.

I just returned home from a visit to Cape Canaveral, Florida. It has a true mixed residential pattern. Lots of singles, duplexes, and small apartment blocks mixed. Felt "natural", scaled well, etc. I'm sure there are problems, but from a short visit, it looked like a reasonable assortment of housing.

What if we assume skilled authorship which made connections purposefully in order to emphasize important points? Genesis is full of such connections.

If we assume harmony between Genesis 1:11-13 (fruits/grains) and Genesis 2:5 (bush/plants of the field) then it is clear that fruit was the chief food in the garden and agriculture came later.
I did not work for the USMC and the strategic goals of the IDF (land defense, small area) are very different so I can't answer for sure. In many modern battle scenarios (specifically urban warfare scenarios) tanks aren't of much use so I totally see binning them in favor of better combined arms.

Also again: you are taking Russian armor survivability as proof for US armor survivability against the same threat. I totally get if you take my comments here with a (big) grain of salt because I can't provide citations and I'm not making any direct claims about US armor survivability against Javelins (and you'll note you won't find any videos/info online about that because of classification).

I think it just varies, but I'm with you. It might be because I also wear glasses, do you? I feel like the ear loops press my glasses harder into my ears, preventing longer term wear (they're great for a half hour, not so good for six hours straight).

I mostly use behind the head but foldable ones now, the ones to TC-84A-9315 spec (H95W) are pretty good for me but my nose is a bit too pointy to fit right at the nose. They seem to work really really well for people with slightly flatter features, the little nose metal form doesn't quite hold well enough.

A similar post was made last week, and I recommend Upnote as a replacement to Evernote:

Cross-platform, and it feels like what Evernote was back in the day: a simple note-taking app with a beautiful UI.

I replaced Evernote with it a few months ago, and it's been a daily driver since. It was first recommended to me on /r/evernote, a subreddit that has basically been echoing the OP's concerns about Evernote for the last two years it looks like.

You mentioned input lag - how noticeable is this effect and is it something you can "hide" by increasing the tracking speed or other settings?

While it might be down to the mediocre Logitech gear he's using, one complaint I have gotten on occasion is how the cursor does not always keep up with his mouse inputs.
Perhaps they'll care when I insist they sell them to me for that price, then complain to the county's Office of Consumer Affairs if they don't.

I don't know about American law, but here in the UK you would lose that complaint. A price label is what is known as an "invite to treat", and a store is under no obligation to sell the item to you at that price. If they say it's a mistake they can and you have no right to say otherwise.

Before you do that you better make damned sure you're doing the right thing. You're literally kicking people out of their homes and forcing them to move. We did that to the Indians a couple centuries ago and the consequences for both sides were not great. We did that to Mexican migratory workers last century and the result was the almost complete destruction of a country that shares a large land border with us. We're only beginning to experience the consequences from that.
