Maybe Harvard isn't the best example since it is private. But to me this seems a bit different when we're talking about public universities. It seems odd to run an academic facility like a company trying to turn a large profit. It is weird to me to compare them to corporate organizations, just like it is weird to compare government to corporations. I know it happens and there are some similarities, but just because apples and oranges are both spherical fruits doesn't mean we're comparing equal things.
As you hint at, I think you would quickly find that the university would look like it's run by a bunch of slumlords, with things falling apart, and no one responding when the toilet gets clogged or the wifi goes down.
Unfortunately, it does not mean that the natural way is a good way...
Is there a term for this phenomenon of becoming overconfident a certain period into learning a new thing, and being able to observe this as a spike in accidents and incidents?

I feel it's a pretty universal thing.
You might want:

foo = mapping.pop("foo", "default")

It removes "foo" key from mapping if any. `foo` is "default" if "foo" is missing and `mapping["foo"]` otherwise.

Dictionary unpacking compatible with the match/case syntax could look like:

{"foo": foo, **rest} = mapping

It asserts that there is "foo" key in mapping and puts its value into `foo`.
You know we had ways to listen to music on the go in the pre-smartphone era, right? From Walkman, Discman over to mobile MP3 players etc.

I have feature phone I use to disconnect, it can play music plus I have a list of 10 close contacts that I can call in case of emergency (or 911 of course). There is no need for a smartphone to cover basic security needs.
Rainforests are also a natural occurrence and burning them down to create more bovines is decidedly non-natural.

There is noSql solutions being built, but when I left a couple of years ago there were Oracle database backed projects in flight.

Some of the 3rd party applications supported PostGres so they didn't even need to stick with Oracle, but they did. It was when management pushed for a project to be Oracle back that caused a few of us to quit. It's nasty enough to develop on, I don't want to support too.
I don’t know where you are from but seeing sauna gain popularity outside Finland and Estonia lately has been refreshing. It is commonplace thing here and I don’t think we attach so much theory or consider ”using” it for any particular reason because it is so mundane. Maybe if you intentionally have to go to lengths to do it then you also think about the meaning of doing it more deeply.

Not to be rude, but to expand how this sounds to me - It’s like going to shower to incorporate shower thoughts to be part of your daily routine. Which is profound but at the same time

LSM also requires periodic compaction, right?

> I'm not sure how big a downside that is in practice, but it might be unfair to compare lmdb or rocksdb with bitcask if bitcask is never compacting.

Bitcask also does compactions, they call it merge. It is mentioned in the paper too, but not much in detail.
I think the motivation for using HTTPS with static content is to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks that inject advertising or malware into pages. I have read about governments, ISPs and hotels doing that sort of thing.

One example of what can be done is to cause the users to DDoS a third party.
If I'm reading a scientific white paper, have doubts about its validity and the only evidence offered by a Google search is marketing-focused or internet comments, I tend to err on the side of caution and just assume it's probably bad information.
I'd say the role is morphing. Organizations need employees who would be able to ensure consistent practices, automation, compliance on top of cloud solutions. At some point of scaling the team, having a few DB experts will increase efficiencies and ensure that practices are automated, documented, and taught to engineers compared to letting engineers discover these on their own.

Next, the DB experts help improve efficiency. It's too easy for engineers to over-provision a DB instead of rewriting the query or adding an index or two. Lastly, engineers flock to new datastores on the Cloud that may not be the best fit for the use cases at hand. So advising teams on which datastore to pick is another angle of the role.

Another way to do this (albeit without simple support for fluids) is to use the Moore neighborhood and use a left and right "bias" to decide which direction a grain should fall towards if it can't fall straight down. This works pretty well as a shader, and has the same side effect with the horizontal lines.

This is what I thought. Two unstated (but implied) parts of the puzzle are that they can’t tell each other the numbers outright, and that they can only share information in yes/no format. But since they have clearly already agreed on a system beforehand, they could have also encoded the digits in binary or something.

So each person could have been sharing one binary digit of their number with each round. Or they might have used a completely different encoding. We simply cannot know.

It's not unreasonable to think of POS as vaporware since it was first announced as coming in 2017.

However this time around they have working implementations in all relevant clients which are being stress tested and debugged since a few months.

So far there have been quite a few bugs but nothing fundamental.

I'd say it's not unrealistic to expect the switch happening this summer according to the unofficial time line. There are a few billion dollars staked already and those funds as are locked until it happens.

I fully agree with your other point.
I have reached the same conclusion by walking around.

On the one hand, our species has invented and built e-scooters which have GPS and an internet connection, a digital screen and 50km of range, which is an impressive energy and technology density for what used to be a children's toy.

On the other hand, the insight that parking them on the bicycle lane is dangerous has evaded most of our species so far.

Why should math be any less political? Anyway, I'm quite sure some of the word problems had political interpretations, but I didn't do any homework at all for the entirety of high school (and very little earlier) and didn't read my math textbooks either. "Politics" is a very weak excuse for banning these books, when the poorly written problems are of much greater concern!

I respectfully disagree, as a person who probably grew less than 100 miles from you.
While it is not the worst place in the world to grow up by economic standards, and may as a matter of fact be not a bad place at all, the "free college" comes with the cost of literally no job guarantee after you graduate. Most importantly, even leaving the country isn't a garden of roses, on account of the fact that most countries see the passport and deport you on account of your country of origin being a state sponsor of terrorism.

There certainly are countries that seemingly offer a lot, but before you sell Iran being a country of free academic opportunities, think twice about the fact that there is freedom of speech outside of it.

While respecting your opinion (despite the fact that you would not have the same freedom of speech without anonymity in Iran), I think it's naive to think that just providing you with free pseudo-education with no chance of real success or quality of life is what this thread is about.

The only problem is that rarely when I sign up for a service using a random password like gAdlzIBVom4j3Paf, it tells me "your password cannot contain your username" because it contains the letter "m". Hah!
IMHO, one of the biggest differences between failing/successful businesses comes down to risk and how it is handled. A failing business usually takes one of two extremes: “fuck it” or “no way.” A business that isn’t actively failing looks for ways to mitigate risk, no matter how risk adverse it is. From some friends working in the nuclear sector (federal), the government was taking a “fuck it” approach, with some friends saying it was borderline reckless.

Another thing is fear. A failing business gives you worry that your next paycheck won’t be coming. Not only has this happened numerous times to government employees since 2006, I realized how much general fear you live with in the US. As a resident, there was a constant underlying fear of dealing with police, to ending up on a hospital bed and no way to afford it (again). In a successful business, no one is living in fear — maybe stress, but not fear.

Those are the two biggest smells I remember thinking about at the time. Is the US actually going to fail? I don’t think so. I think it’s too big to fail atm. If talent starts leaving the US in droves, that’d be the first harbinger in my opinion. But I can’t see the future and wars are usually good for the US, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see the US provoke Russia or some other country into a pointless war.
Great whataboutism. Or evangelical veganism, whatever your poison, really.
Well, I think you've pointed out and answered part of your question.

Public universities generally have little/much smaller endowments by comparison because they rely on government for their steady stream of revenue. And because of that they can, and have pressure to, fulfill policy-based goals of educating students at little to no cost, or heavily subsidizing it.

Some public universities are acting according to the incentives they've been given, and accumulating their own endowments to insulate against political unreliability, and you can also see why college sports are such an important revenue stream for them as a result.
The centralization is not the problem, the problem in Russia is that a single individual wants to force its will over the ones of many. People are scared to voice their opinion and you are painting it as something desirable. Talk about individualism. What a lot of people and you miss to understand is that the majority is made up of individuals it's not an abstract mass it's a lot of real people that collectivly tell you to get lost.

Unpopular opinion: (Not in the context of this article) While I think the new design of the truck is better w.r.t driver's seat position, shouldn't we actually focus on solving the core problem instead? Rogue road users.

(Forget the truck and New York), depending on which country you live in, they can be rogue or law abiding, but, if you take a country like Singapore, it is not uncommon to see rogue bikes riding in the middle of the highway - In fact, it is even illegal in Singapore. I would hate for manufacturers to accept this as reality and modify their vehicles to accommodate rogue road users.

There is a reason for this thinking - Every compromise we make for other rogue road user, we compromise our own safety. Eg. Our bonnets are already weak now due to "pedestrian safety" features - ie. in the event a jaywalker comes into your path out of nowhere.

I would rather the government focuses on infrastructure to solve for these problems than the manufacturers. Everybody wins then.

You don't seem to know what the TUIL actually means. The tolerable upper intake level of a substance is not the actual safe upper limit, it just guarantees that a certain level is safe. In the case of vitamin D, the actual safe upper limit is likely an order of magnitude higher, which was even acknowledged by the people who, very conservatively, set the TUIL at 4k IU.[0] If 4k IU is completely safe (which it is), then there is nothing at all irresponsible about suggesting that 5k IU is completely safe (which it is), unless that extra 1000 IU somehow accomplishes some deleterious effect, which it doesn't.

That extra 1000 IU between 4k and 5k is simply insignificant. To put all these numbers in context, the body synthesizes the equivalent of anywhere from 4k-12k IU per day from sunlight,[1][2] and possibly 20k+ IU if you're sunbathing with most of your skin exposed.[3] So really, a 5k dose is in the low to moderate range. If 5k IU of vitamin D is scary or irresponsible, then getting even a little sun exposure is really scary and irresponsible!

> A CBDC does not need decentralization, and can be implemented using a side-chain similar to Liquid (without the federation). Of course, you probably don't want to leave control of the sidechain in the hands of one person or party, else they could rob an entire nation and disappear, so a multi-sig like Liquid should be used, with each elected official having a key to sign.

I agree that they don't need decentralization, but I'm wondering if the proposed protocols are the superior choice regardless, because of their effectiveness and ready for production-ness. The control over the smart contracts themselves may still be centralized while the platform they operate on are not.

> The CBDC idea is terrible anyway. The only people who want this are authoritarians who want to control how people spend, control the money supply and enrich themselves. There is no benefit to regular citizens in having a CBDC over what they can do with either bitcoin already, or can do with cash.

In my experience many citizens like using their nation's currency, and don't mind that the government has some control.

> A nation should just stick with part cash, part electronic money, but should back its currency with bitcoin and gold, and stop pissing away its value with constant credit expansion. If there's any purpose in a CBDC, it should be that the citizens of a nation can audit the central bank. I can guarantee this is not what politicians have in mind when they talk about CBDCs.

Is there a reason why the electronic money in this case couldn't be CBDCs?
Definitely agree. There's sustainable animal husbandry, and unsustainable. But eating meat doesn't inexorably lead to cutting down rainforests, Brazilian farmers will also happily cut them down to plant GM-free soya, which attracts a premium in the US and European markets over the bulk of soya farmed in the US.

The problem is far vaguer and harder to solve than "eat less meat."

I can't even properly frame it beyond "something something globalisation, something something no easy route to monetise leaving the Amazon standing as a carbon sink".
The masses of council estates around notting hill are probably poorer now than in 2015.

From their point of view (POW is bad, centralization is good) it's much more cost-efficient to simply give Ripple Labs INC a huge sum of money so that they make a copy of their xrp code and use that codebase as the ground base for their CBDC.
We picked the Netherlands for a number of reasons:

- high taxes that you actually see the output of. Also, higher taxes than the US means not paying US taxes due to tax treaties, though you still have to file them.

- Dutch-American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) means you can move here and start a business with minimal investment.

- Our son was 3 when we moved here. He speaks fluent Dutch now and is on his way to learning Spanish and German.

Are flatbed versions of these trucks in the works? Or is there a bare chassis option? As one example: there are a lot of tow trucks here in the US in a size class similar to the Volta Zero, and seeing as how tow trucks are a common occurrence in cities, it seems like it'd be worthwhile for them to get these same safety features. Another example use case: hauling 20' containers in and out of transit hubs, slashing emissions from last-mile freight delivery.
Maybe it would be better if we stopped pretending that most political decisions have anything to do with science (specially social science) and just admit that it's about conflicting interests that will have to be mediated.
