Well, you did ask why this a problem “whose response is a risk-shifting onto tenants”, and the response is super-simple: “because it’s not their property”.

If there were a whole bunch of laws that said that if you rented a, say, car you were making payments on to another person, that protected them from having to give it back even if they weren’t making payments until a court said so? …and while a court would rule that they owed you, the result would be a car you had to pay for that you couldn’t possess or use for months because court dates and enforcement were months out? …and further, even once the court said so, you’d still get a damaged/broken car along with a debt against someone you’d never be able to collect most of the time?

You’d be real, real damn careful who you rented that car to.

Same thing.
VLC and free open source software certainly won't offer "just works". If you are happy to go down this path, then Android will offer more free open source apps for you.
I'm no good at thinking fast in the context of chess. Probably this is because I learned to play chess by playing against the computer as a kid without clocks, so I could spend minutes on every move.

Today I'm just over 2000 on Lichess rapid. My inability to think quickly leads me to play like either an old or a drunk man (in fact I'm usually neither). I eschew tactical battles in favor of taking the position to a drawn endgame, where I can slowly gain an incremental advantage. Closed, maneuvering positions are great for me. My strategic ability is the only thing that saves me. Fortunately, tactics tend to favor the player with better coordinated pieces.
It's important to remember that RF communication is over a century old by now. If there was any significant statistical effect beyond RF burns (heat), we would've seen it already.
I'm having a hard time understanding whether the author's definitions and hypotheses make sense.

> By “fast thinking” I mean any thinking process which is advantageous in chess and which can be employed in short time intervals.

> I’d venture therefore that fast thinking is more prominent in quicker games.

Isn't this pretty much true by definition? Fast thinking is the only thing you can do in quick games, so it has to be more prominent.

But then the author continues:

> That is, if fast thinking is the dominant factor determining outcomes in games amongst normal players, it should imply that more time makes the faster thinkers advantage more prominent

And now I'm just confused. How do we know that fast thinkers aren't using "slow thinking" or anything else when they play at slower time controls? Maybe good fast thinking is correlated with good slow thinking, but this doesn't mean it is the dominant factor!

PS: I've never seen a player with a high bullet rating but a low blitz/rapid rating, so I'm not sure how to interpret a negative result either.
well, the EE bonds aren't compounded (or they compound with an interval of 20 years). That's why i used simple interest rather than compound, so as to make the calculations easier too.

> Reducing this all to wattage is a mistake.

It's wrong to call it a mistake. It's not a mistake, it's a simplification. We understand that simplifications have limited explanatory power. That's the tradeoff--simplified models are easier to understand but less accurate. All models sacrifice some amount of accuracy.

Because in the good old days you expected to share an expensive page printer with many, and it made sense to put a powerful embedded computer (for the time) to do rasterizing within it. It could save on bandwidth, RAM, and storage. The RAM requirements for rasterizing a page would be quite costly at the time.

Another interpretation is that that is a tired old canard which maintains a life-beyond-death as a necessary illusion which assists the beholder in doing their patriotic duty: maintaining a positive view of the foreign policy of their own nation.

You seem to confuse containers with virtual machines. Those are very different concepts that solve different problems.

You can't rely on containers alone if your goal is to ensure that your app will work on future operating systems. That's not something containers do. They only let you provide your own user space to run in a quasi-isolated environment, no more than that. You're still using the host's kernel which can still screw you up in multitude of ways (which is exactly what I said in my earlier comment), and you're still limited by API guarantees that the tools you use to make containers are providing you.

> Finding a trusted bookie, especially one who’s licensed in multiple jurisdictions is really hard.

Anywhere that it is legal, it is significantly easier than dealing with any blockchain. What you've stumbled upon is the reality that the only feature cryptocurrencies provide is opaque law enforcement, and that feature has a timer. Why would it be any easier for a blockchain to be licensed in multiple jurisdictions? The only difference is that the blockchains are almost definitely not licensed. I'm not sure what the statute of limitations is, but I feel like a blockchain holding accounts of illegal gambling is a pretty weird thing to want to create immutable records of, unless you're the FBI.

> Manipulating interest rates works when under otherwise normal condition

back in the oil crisis of the 70's, the inflation was high because oil embargo made everything that need oil (which was everything) more expensive.

Couldn't you make the same argument back then, that increasing interest rates isn't going to end the embargo and lower inflation? And yet, the then Fed chair did increase interest rate to combat inflation (granted, the inflation back then was much worse than now).

So perhaps this time, it's different - covid supply shocks playing out is not going to get resolved by interest increases. By increasing rates, the only result is to reduce demand, which is just another way of saying those who can't afford it will have to sacrifice, and lower their quality of life.
I read that as a joke, even if not a very clever one.
Netflix is mostly doing bad because the market Netflix has grew big in changed. The cake is now split in more ways and the chance that someone will have one subscription for two years without hopping on and off other steaming services has gotten smaller.
The more time passes, the less interest I see in line manager (aka m1) roles. I've been m1, m2 for some time, then ic, then m1 again. Now that I'm being on track to be m2 again, I think I'll just drop the towel and get back to ic. The only thing that's been keeping me from doing so so far is that I never had a manager I actually deemed competent in that they were trying to understand the underlying technical aspect of the job in a way that actually helped me as an ic. The only ones I have liked were those just leaving me alone. The impact of bad management is marginally lesser for managers themselves, and at least I can try to do some good in my team. But the admin cost of line management, added to having to deal with people's emotions all the time, the context switching, constant interruptions, politics and general vaporware BS remove any true possibility to be "strategic", or genuinely have time to coach people through anything significant. I find the effective job closer to a mix of hr, with exec admin role, with catchall person who needs to produce the decision juice when people don't want to. It's just not worth it.

I also really dislike the notion of being "promoted" into management. It's another profession altogether. You're not promoted, you're transferring. At best its a graduation if you actually succeeded in some form of training. But let's get real, people get slapped with a manager title, and one in a thousand will care enough to open a book or even just a blog post about anything related to learning the job. Most new managers are "trained" by a combination of their own clueless bosses, and inspirational memes on LinkedIn telling you should be a leader rather than a manager. Stop pretending there is a real notion of hierarchy between managers and ic, managers are equally incompetent as anybody else (well, that's not true, they tend to be worse since lots are driven by ego and power hunger rather than a genuine interest in the job), thinking that it is a promotion is stupid.
If you have any interest in front-end programming, bfe.dev is a great resource.
But everyone already knows of this fact - and so the price of those stocks would already reflect the value under an (expected) inflationary environment.

The value would only grow _if_ the inflationary environment is worse than expectations, and people sacrifice even more discretionary spending to buy consumer staples. if the inflationary environment isn't as bad as expectations, then these companies would be out-performed by other, higher growth, discretionary goods companies.

There's no such thing as a risk free investment.
This is more about making sure the app compiles with the latest SDK and whatever requirements that entails.

'hit more distros' also means hitting old distro releases. We have a laptop here running a nearly EOL LTS version of Ubuntu, but thanks to the snap packaging is still running the latest release of Firefox (the most important piece of software on this machine).
While the SAR is pretty high, and these are mice, that in itself doesn't imply that lower SARs have no effect on mice or other living beings, which some people seem to conclude.

We are basically big lumps of bio-electric mass, it shouldn't be surprising that spending 24 hours a day in a mist of all kinds of high-frequency, penetrating EM fields would have an effect on our biology.

Thanks for this.

Are you saying when a private branch is published, it shows up in the public repository as a single diff?
That seems like a reasonable thing to do in a study where you want to check whether there is any effect at all. You'd now do a followup study to see at which dosage you stop measuring the effect.

consider a slow-growth company free of a title system (e.g. where every engineer is just a "member of engineering"). the less-credentialed nature means you don't have to be as specialized to float ideas. the slow-growth nature allows the company to prioritize process over chasing chaotic payoffs to stay afloat. YMMV and i'm not sure all slow-growth, titleless engineering organizations turn out this way, but there's some correlation.
This sounds like a good example of the "lamentably poor leadership and management culture" we are talking about.
It is a mistake, and it is an incredibly harmful one. Our technician class takes these low-rez undergraduate abstractions, & beats everyone over the head with them. Meanwhile, the average person can barely read, & is really in no position to argue--even when (correct) instinctual misgivings remain, and the technician was wrong to begin with!

It's a fairly well known result that better chess players don't evaluate more moves, they just evaluate better ones. So the "faster thinking effect" here is something to do with the order moves are evaluated in: players who win quicker games spot the better moves quicker, but given extra time the other player gets there too.
yes, exactly, that's why I mention capital risk. Much less than stocks or corporate bonds, but more than an FDIC insured account.
S-300F is not suited for cruise missile interception. it was simply not designed to do so. In fact, the minimum engagement distance of S-300F is only around 5 kilometers.

So the idea that S-300F is even theoretically capable of dealing with cruise missiles is not even accurste. It is not capable of doing so, and it's not even supposed to - there is another system for that.

Also, the Moskva was never modernized. The Slava class was modernized, with the exception of the Moskva, which was not modernized at all, and only repaired and maintained.

The self-defence system for the Slava class is the Osa-M system, which is severly outdated (50 years old). It was actually due for an upcoming upgrade, as the Saman system. Precisely in order to deal with drones and cruise missiles better.
I remember that startup too, but they apparently have awful SEO because I have been trying to find them for like 10 minutes and can't. There's a lesson for founders here.
I really don't understand the hype for the iphone.

I own a oneplus 8t on Android 12, I particularly like the 120Hz display and the very fast charging (65w). When my battery is almost dead I can get to 30% in just a few minutes.
Android 12 has been a big improvement, it is really snappy and good looking (Android 11 was already good). I bought the phone 550Euros, and during the last black friday it was sold for 350Euros.
The camera is ok makes decent enough photos.

I tried last week-end my mum's iphone 13 and was really disappointed. She was not aware of faceid so I set it up with her, and the forced swipe up after unlocking the phone is annoying. On my phone, the fingerprint scanner is almost instantaneous and I get directly to the last opened application.

Also I saw that the phone gets constant ads for Apple products (we disabled notifications): Apple pay, Apple watch, Apple TV, etc. really annoying.

For me the main selling points for the iphone are the good camera and apple ecosystem integration. But the latter means that you are stuck with Apple hefty prices.
check out the works cited of TFA, many of them involve 1.4-1.6W/kg SAR
Well no, but this study absolutely doesn’t imply that it does. There’s decent evidence that all radio does to human, animals, etc, is heat them up. Obviously heating people up a lot will do bad things to them, but there’s no evidence Wi-Fi, cellphones or anything else radio related is hurting people
In the study researchers were focusing on brain cells. The brain generally has a high rate of blood flow so by your reasoning brains cells would be less affected than low-flow regions like the eye. But measurements would have to be taken at a specific site to know for sure, in this case that would be in the intracranial space.

The RF was probably too low power to produce readily measurable effects on temperature in the brain. I imagine that it could be a difficult piece of data to collect. However, you're undoubtedly correct that whole body temperature wouldn't be informative in such a study.

Makes sense, keeping some distance from running microwave ovens is a good policy. After an oven has been in service for some time what are the odds seals become leaky, etc. Probably not a great risk but no harm in minimizing one's exposure.
I'd have to disagree with "anything beyond 'does the job' is gravy", because people use these printers for different jobs and some people definitely do care about the quality. Good quality printing is easier to read; the images and diagrams are clearer and easier to understand; etc.

I remember using dot matrix printers. The ink looks faded and uneven, there are often patches of missing ink. Consumer dot matrix printers from the 1980s and 1990s mostly just plain suck, and we knew it.

Laser printers really were a big part of the desktop publishing revolution. We take it for granted today, but that's because the revolution is over, desktop publishing won, and manual typesetting / layout is now extremely niche.
I consider phones that don't have constant security updates as broken as I do a lot of banking and personal communication on my phone. Iphone updates IOS for years and years and I kept my last iphone for 5 years,probably will keep my iphone12 for a similar amount of time barring something catastrophic; it won't be from "desire to get the latest and greatest"
Sounds like technical leadership failed both you and your company.
Sure, I never claimed that it is not "just fine".

I just said that the distinction is not "pointless" or "gatekeeping", as some people accused, but pretty common convention which can be quite useful for readers. In particular, you are pushing back against something nobody said.
I work in a small organization which is kinda chaotic, meaning we have a lean process. Very agile, short standup each morning, but nearly no sprint planning.

I think, it's liberating to work in such a company as an experienced developer. You get difficult tasks sometimes, where you need to be the System Engineer and understand the system fully. But you're free to approach the problem in any way you see fit. This requires a lot of trust from the company and your team, but I believe that's a good thing.

It's also a nice for customers, who sometimes have crazy requirements, but they still get results in a reasonable amount of time.

On the other hand, this approach completely destroys newcomers. It's nearly impossible for them to approach a System which they can't fully grasp and is in constant flux. We mentor them, give them easy and introductory task, review their code, but still... It takes a massive amount of time. And I think, it's one of the reasons a company like this has a hard time growing.

And there's the risk of the 'not so competent programmer', who knows how to fix stuff, without thinking far enough.

I don't know, if I'm a System Engineer, but I think it aligns with the description in the article. However, I fear the day, we all agree to overhaul our processes, after which we need to plan and document and review everything.

It seems to be a necessary evil for a company to grow, but at the same time we would also destroy a lot of the liberty we currently have and I don't know which side is worse.

Yeah but european jokes are of a different nature (except maybe ones about Roma and Sinti) — e.g. everybody has jokes about Italians, but that rarely translates into actual issues for Italians working in other EU nations, especially if they speak the language. Same is true for most other national stereotypes that I can think of.

I am not sure it is your decision whether somebody else cares. I don't think having a show for teenage girls with ponies changes anything in the world for better, but for some girl in some dire situation it might just be the fantasy she needs. You know, like the million male power fantasies of saving the world while getting all the women to love you — which also doesn't help us.

They do not, it's all mostly incorrect. S-300F is not the system slated for cruise missiles, it's use is for aircraft, another system is supposed to engage cruise missiles flying low. The Moskva was never modernized at all, that was the two Slavas. Upgrade of the cruise-missile and drone defence system was not cancelled and is still in R&D phase as the Samant-M system, etc...
