My reply where I was claiming that the comment from arinlen was manipulative was flagged, but I stand by my statement. It’s also in no way a personal attack to describe someone’s comment that way.

Here’s why I claimed it’s manipulative: the study key points are “For young males receiving 2 doses of the same vaccine, data were compatible with between 4 and 7 excess events in 28 days per 100 000 vaccinees after second-dose BNT162b2, and between 9 and 28 per 100 000 vaccinees after second-dose mRNA-1273.”

That is a direct quote. Now look at arinlen’s TLDR: only 5 versus 4-7 events for Biontech and 9-28 for Moderna in the key points.

The study authors clearly conclude that “The risk of myocarditis in this large cohort study was highest in young males after the second SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose, and this risk should be balanced against the benefits of protecting against severe COVID-19 disease”.

Quoting the outcomes in the general population from a study highlighting the effects in young males could have been a mistake. Given that the commenter insisted that their TLDR was correct after I pointed the above out, it’s more likely that they want to suppress any association between mRNA vaccines and heart inflammation.

This association is by now well established and many EU countries have dropped Moderna for young males.

You don't think savings accounts yield interest out of charity, do you?

In most cases they are a way to purchase bonds and alike for people who don't want (or don't know how) to deal with that, and the bank pocketing the difference for their services.

If you're sophisticated enough to invest in a foreign country with a goal to actually get real returns and enough capital to make the hassle worthwhile, you'll find a way to do that better than a savings account.

But of course there is "market" for exchanging your USD into funny money at predatory rates, letting you experience these juicy 20+% APY, only to realize later that the country makes it illegal to transfer the money out – or you're due some extra fees, and taxes, and surcharges, and more predatory exchange rates – and in the end if you succeed to get your money out and factor in funny money devaluation and USD inflation, you end up barely making more profit than you'd get in a more stable economy.

That's assuming said foreign institutions are willing to deal with a US citizen in the first place.

I think this is not referring to customer feedback backlog, but more internally generated ideas, reported bugs that are reported against features that have been completely reworked, things like that.

I tend to agree with the article, every startup I've worked at has had a large backlog of tickets in JIRA that were completely irrelevant to the current product. That stuff could be pruned pretty easily but never is.
Ather, one of the first e-scooter makers in India, had claimed that imported Li-ion batteries aren't suited for Indian weather, so they designed their own. Many parts of India easily hit 40C and more in the summer. Given the spate of e-scooter fires here recently, they may have been right.

(I'm not associated with Ather in any way.)

> there's gotta be some one theory that can account for everything

Actually, there doesn't. The universe is under no obligation to operate according to laws. That the behavior of the universe is so lawful is quite remarkable. It didn't have to be this way. Our universe could be a simulation, and that simulation could have been created by some capricious being who makes all kinds of random shit happen just to fuck with us. That does not appear to be the case, but there is no reason that it could not have been.

Likewise, there is no reason why our brains should have the capacity to be able to figure this out. It may be that the Kolmogorov complexity of the universe is vastly larger than what the human brain is capable of dealing with. Again, this does not appear to be the case. In fact, it appears to be the exact opposite. We can explain 100% of the phenomena within our solar system, and even within most of our galaxy, with theories whose KC is shockingly low, small enough to be grasped by a single human brain. But it didn't have to be that way. And maybe it isn't that way. Maybe we have actually reached the limit of what the human brain is capable of (in terms of figuring out physics). I don't think so, but you can't rule out the possibility on the basis of the evidence we have.
>. I can’t get on CNN to give the “Bangladeshi guy take” on rising crime by saying stuff most Bangladeshi people agree with. I have to provide a Bangladeshi perspective that is appealing to the white progressives that make the decisions at CNN.

Well you have to appeal to your audience. If you speak as a Bangladeshi how much would the average American member of the audience understand? If the Bangladeshi take is similar to the average Indian take I'm used to, rising crime rates would probably be explained by something like "all these people are corrupt. That's what Indians do instead of doing it the right way they just try to find a shortcut and take from others. Badmaasha do this and ruin the country".

Of course they don't mean that literally the whole country is corrupt and all Indians are awful, but people not from there wouldn't understand that it's an exaggeration. They just don't have the cultural context to understand how to interpret that. The American way of communicating is not so on the nose, in fact it minimizes negatives and tries to avoid generalizing at all. So again, i don't think they would understand it would just sounds vaguely racist to the average American. So I'm not sure what Bangladeshi view you're talking about is but context really matters.

And most of the desis I know support Harris over Gabard. Surprise surprise-- you cannot easily generalize the views of large groups, especially based on anecdotal evidence. Being Desi has little to do with it.
Well, what happened in 2008? Stocks down 50%, housing down 30%. Buying housing was a better investment than stocks. But as both were down, simply holding cash was better. But that's only because the wealthy were hedging against a hyper-inflation scenario, and that scenario didn't occur.

In fact you can see this hedging as a reason for the inflation in the first place. Even things like target date funds that need to have 10%(or some other number) bonds have this same issue. When the interest rate rises, the value of bonds gets wiped out. But target date funds need to have a set percentage, so all of these indexes rush INTO bonds at this moment. The more stocks are up in this moment, the more these passive investments are selling stocks and buying bonds.

You can imagine that as stocks go up, the more stocks go up, wealthy money managers buy more and more homes in the exact same way they buy bonds. When they see that we might be about to hit an inflection point with stocks anticipated to go down, they should be selling stocks and buying whatever does better. In 2008, housing did better, so they'll probably do it even more with history on their side. Now that houses are up 30%, maybe they look for another investment. There it is, used cars. There it is, lumber, steel, oil. There it is, commodities futures. All with unprecedented demand, not from common folk, but the wealthy.

Hedging against a stock market crash causes inflation, and inflation causes interest rate rises, which is a positive feedback loop that causes more hedging, which causes more rate rises until the common folk can not handle it, in which case the economy falls over. At the end of the day we get a recession, massive job loss, and the Fed resets the interest rate back to zero and they start selling their assets and re-buying stocks. Cycle starts again anew.

> I’m firmly of the belief that C style type syntax is never going to not be confusing

Yeah, C is going to stay C. No fixing that. The bummer is when new languages repeat the problem because they don't understand what causes it.

> Personally I think a core problem is that declaration and use are different

I claim that declaration and use can be the same. In all cases, you read the affixes for arrays, pointers, function calls, and struct/union fields from left to right.

// declarations
int i
int a[10]
int f(int arg)[10] { ... }
int p@

// usage
print i
print a[1]
print f(1)[1]
print p@

You could change the declarations to use a "let" keyword, but I don't think it'll make them more readable while maintaining the goal of "declaration follows usage".

> I’m not sure how I would declare the type of a function that returns a pointer to an array

// function, pointer, array
int f()@[10] ...

Was ultraviolet catastrophe really an experimental inconsistency? It seems to best understood as a theoretical inconsistency: The theory predicts a diverging (infinite) value, which we know would be wrong regardless of what the experimental evidence is. It's a mathematical problem, not an empirical one. You also give the example of "the measured invariance of the speed of light in different rest frames," but Einstein claims SR was motivated by the invariance of Maxwell's equations (a theoretical consideration), not e.g. Michelson–Morley. So it sure seems that investigating theoretical inconsistencies has motivated a lot of good work.

I agree that, practically speaking, studying the black hole information paradox might not be so productive. Maybe there are special features of the problem that make it difficult to investigate productively through theoretical considerations alone. But this is not how I read Hossenfelder. Taking her blog post literally, she seems to be against theoretical investigations of any phenomenon (any inconsistency, etc.) where experimental tests aren't forthcoming. I think this is ridiculous.

Maybe she doesn't actually believe this, but then she needs to make an argument specifically about the black hole information paradox and why this particular problem is unproductive, not launch a broadside on non-empirical reasoning more generally.
But is it a book with literary value? There’s a lot of books in the world, why do you feel this one is essential for a library to stock?
Part of me wonders if maybe some of these systems are questionable fits for the time period.

The last 500 years were a unique opportunity for the western world:
* Western powers conquered an entire hemisphere of new wealth with (relatively) minor pushback.

* We've had a long string of cheap resource rushes-- pulling the silver and gold out of the Western hemisphere, followed by the "easy" oil and gas.

* Most of the major disruptions to commerce and growth were regional in nature and/or short in duration. For all their carnage, the World Wars were less than 20 years total.

* Overpopulation and resource exhaustion was the stuff of minor nuisance and speculative fiction for all but the last couple of decades.

This has meant it was relatively easy times for free markets and democracy. We haven't really seen how they sway under some of the incoming existential threats.

Can a democratic government bring a meaningful response to climate change? We may be at the point where state actors have to say "you are obliged to do without or change your behaviour for the public good" in the near future, but will elected leaders have the spine to say it, when they know they'll be replaced by someone who will say "Sure, let the next generation burn so you can continue to drive a 12-MPG F-350 to work at a coal mine?"

If we enter a period of significantly tighter resource supplies, will entrepeneurship remain viable? Resource owners, particularly state-level ones, will become gatekeepers and kingmakers. If you control most of the world's (insert valuable commodity here), will you want to sell it to a proven operation with a demonstrated plan, or a wing-and-a-prayer startup who may end up wasting a nonrenewable asset?

“Hey we couldn’t process your card due to a temporary error so we went ahead and cancelled your $59 for AllTheThings plan you had for the last 10 years as a loyal customer. We’re very much not at all sorry that plan isn’t available any more. Now AllTheThings costs $129, but don’t worry, just click to reactivate, we’ll try your card again.” … “AllTheThings processed successfully for $129, thank you for your custom.”
Then you are misunderstanding her position. She is not claiming that a convincing solution to the BHILP is impossible. If you came up with a theory of quantum gravity that can be measured in other regimes and that also solves the BHILP, perfect: we now have good reasons to believe that your theory is indeed THE solution to that problem.

However, if you come up with a theory that makes the exact same predictions as QM and GR except for the BHILP, then your theory is not very interesting, since we will never be able to test this theory, and there are other inconsistencies between QM and GR that you haven't solved, so we can't just rest on our laurels and say physics is over.

Specifically here it's that the article you linked is total garbage, poorly reasoned, and that can be discerned without even checking the data.

And more generally Adrian's reply.
I'm in the US, and I could upgrade from 1 Gbps ($50/month) to 10 Gbps for $200/month. These are symmetrical speeds. That's because of fiber was built out as a community project, rather than waiting for the existing ISP duopoly (who were paid millions of dollars by the federal government, to do exactly this, but didn't).

The reason I haven't, isn't that more isn't better, it is that equipment costs and hassle to deliver 10 Gbps around the residence is a giant PITA as the article kind of demonstrates. If 2.5 Gbps ethernet equipment becomes more common and cost-effective, I'd definitely consider the 10 Gbps offering but until then, it isn't worth $1K or more to get prepared.

I guess what I am asking, is that in some states I am under the impression that the state legislature got involved. If library staff maintain autonomy and can carry whatever they want, I wouldn't say it is banned. If the state government got involved and provided a list of books to remove from public libraries, then to me that is banned. I know in some states such lists were produced by legislature, but I don't know if those initiatives passed.
I think this is being disingenuous because a library deciding not to buy a book is different than the executive or legislature saying that the library cannot buy a book. You are implying what is happening across the country in conservative states is the former when it is more often the latter. Choice is being removed from the people who run the libraries. They are the people who best know what books their communities want and need, not the politicians.

How do you use ETH on a contract to purchase goods? How does the contract know when it has been completed?

I can imagine using ETH for escrow; but there has to be a human in the loop for escrow, to direct escrow funds to be released. I guess one could contrive a situation where a "contract" could autonomously determine when it had been completed. But that's not the general case.
