Savers constantly get bailed out by the artificial 0% lower bound which is obviously unsustainable. It means things like temporary economic downturns aren't allowed as otherwise people flood out of their risky investments, fire people and hold cash to avoid losses that are artificially declared nonexistent on cash. Someone has to pay for those losses, either people become unemployed and subsidize the savers by living a life in misery or the saver pays for the damage he caused which obviously can only happen after the fact through inflation.

Because the economy isn't allowed to decline for even a single day, the government must ensure that it keeps growing by any means possible no matter how stupid.

Aircaft with fixed wings have pretty stable fast forward motion. Diving makes use of that, and the initial speed and vector of the ordnance is the speed/vector of the aircraft. After deployment, high g is needed to avoid hitting the ground.

A multi-rotor drone (what the videos seem to be shot from) cannot fly fast, and cannot pull the high gees after drop. Dive bombing won't help much. Likely even a controlled flight into the target (kamikaze) would end up slower (final velocity) than just dropping, making the drone a much easier target for small arms fire than just the bomb alone.

Fixed wing drones - different story. Getting them back to the ground in a reusable way requires effort, simply flying into the target seems to make more sense. The big reusable ones usually carry self-guided amunitions.

A combination of remote controlled, fast, high payload, high-g capable, and reusable would likely not be cost-effective (losses to be expected in any case).

Indeed. Might even be an electric bike (although personally I enjoy riding my fast human-powered road bike on a daily basis).

While the myth that old (small) gasoline cars may emit less co2 car than a reasonably efficient EV does annoy me, the average electric bike (8W / km) is still 15 times as efficient as my electric Hyundai Ioniq (130W / km) and very usable (and most of the time just as fast) for any distances under 30km. Plus it takes up much less space and promotes cycling lanes and such, something that pays off dividends in the long run. With EV’s, it’ll just be more of the same (more car culture).

EV’s are an improvement for sure, but by far not radical enough to solve the issues we are facing.

Yes, it's expensive, but if it is -- as people here and elsewhere say over and over again -- making an entire area of a city uninhabitable and causing millions in damage and enforcement costs then surely it's worth the cost? Why do people seem to constantly favour being callous and cruel over even being selfish, let alone humane?
They're not building any of these things, though. As usual, Scotland is going to have to foot the bill for England's lack of ability.
According to Jean-Marc Jancovici (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaQ-U-dP_7M, in french though), this is right on the money: CO2 being extremly stable and given the quantity we already have transfered in the atmosphere, a 1.5°C global rise in temperature is inevitable already. We'd have to in the negative indeed to have a impact, and with the system inertia and the cascading effects, it's not even sure it would reverse the trend completly.
I don’t believe labeling requirements are preventing anyone from exporting to the US. Printing a new label and slapping on top of the existing one isn’t something that would hold anyone back from exporting.

Labeling requirements are common practice everywhere. And the solution is for exporters to print a new label that conforms to the requirements and place it on the product.
ObLogicalFallaciesNit: It raises the question.

> Ally and NATO member are not synonyms.

Nobody said they were however NATO member does mean ally and we're pretty lukewarm on that prospect. There could certainly be another alliance made outside of NATO that would make them an ally, there could be, but there isn't. We have friendly relations with Ukraine and support a faction of their government but we're pretty cagey with our military support.

This is incorrect. As people save more and consume less, interest rates get lower and lower. In fact, since people don't have to pay interest, they get to save more and more as the bank gets less and less of their money. Japan and Germany have the lowest interest rates and aren't known for saving less.

Also, liquidity preference predicts that people will save an unlimited amount of money at 0% interest if they have sufficient income that exceeds how much they intend to spend.
It strikes me that if you work with modern explosives and follow sensible procedures like retiring to a safe distance, the risks to you are not that high. The risks in a demolition are huge, but not to the life of the explosives guy.

Yep, the chocolate part almost made me stop reading the whole article. I mean, I'm happy they note the number of "not interested" at all, but they don't loose a word about it, that's a bit narrow in focus.

Also, a bit more context about the setup would be nice. Paying 13 or 14 cent is a (comparably) huge overhead when you are just walking along a walkway, with getting your purse out, seek card or coins etc. - or just take the one that is free for grabs.

On a more general note, I don't think that free stuff makes us irrational. It's just something we don't learn to deal with. When you are used to free stuff, dealing with it is pretty rational, as in looking for hidden costs, moral obligations, is it a data grab, etc. For example, when 62% of ppl refuse to take free choc because they sense they will get stupid questions in return or asked for their name and adress.

The lack of URLs also means it's impractical for a reader of your feed to ever share your content. There's no real mechanism to link to any particular item in an RSS feed. There's also no guarantee any particular item in a feed will persist any length of time.

So if someone's feed extols the virtues of RSS feeds the only option for sharing that is to share the whole feed. If someone checks the feed a month later that great point made may no longer be in the feed. Since it doesn't exist as a post on a website it's just lost. No no one will ever be convinced RSS is the end-all be-all of blogging.

I can't remember the names but I've seen at least two alternative syntaxes recently that are a lot more readable. At least one of them fixed the issue of regex mixing up control in-band with data. So your example would be something like

You would be... surprised.

The query engine in Microsoft SQL Server is absurdly advanced, and simply beats the pants off just about everything else for complex, general-case queries. There are other engines that are better tuned for special cases, but if you've got "stuff" that's within the capacity of a single box, it's really hard to beat MSSQL.

Let's expand on my example above: Clustered ColumnStore.[1]

It's basically PowerBI or Vertica embedded within the traditional MSSQL engine. This extension enables the ability to have a per-column (vertical) on-disk storage format instead of the traditional row-store format most databases have.

You can have it as a secondary acceleration index, or as a clustered (primary) index. In the latter case, it'll compress your raw table data. For my log files it was 33-to-1 compression (3% of the original file size).

Second, even if the data doesn't fit into memory, it'll utilise the columnar storage to simply ignore (skip) columns it doesn't need for the query. I was computing performance statistics, so it was just reading in some numbers instead of the text. A further 100-to-1 optimisation can be gained here.

It then parallelises this across all cores/hyperthreads, so I get 100% utilisation on 16 cores.

All of this I/O is fully asynchronous with a huge queue depth. Expect to see 200K IOPS on a laptop, easily.

Once in memory, it uses Intel AVX SIMD instructions to chew through the data 8 rows per clock tick per core. With 8 cores going at once, this is 64 rows per clock, or up to 234 billion rows processed per second.

What's neat about it is that it's fully general: Columnstore can be mixed -- in a single query -- with in-memory tables, on-disk tables, traditional row-store, and external tables streamed in over the network. The engine will just... "figure this out". It'll build indexes on the fly if it has to, ideally in memory, but failing that... it'll stream disk-to-disk as required. I've seen "sort spills" reach 600K IOPS on my laptop.

If I have to scan through years of logs and be able to join it against additional tables for "enriching" it, then it's hard to beat. Sure, there's a scale where the are dedicated log analytics databases, but they have their quirks, limitations, and costs.

I take your incredulity that others can fully utilise their computers as a sign that general knowledge of just what is possible is poor. People have pointed out that some simple shell scripts can outperform Hadoop clusters up to a surprising scale. Similarly, knowledge of the capabilities of traditional database engines like MSSQL is oddly lacking, even amongst developers. Not to mention more esoteric ways of making your computer do your bidding, such as Mathematica, Julia, GPU codes, or whatever.

Your computer is a power tool for your squishy, manual-labour meat brain! A lever for the mind. Learn to utilise it better and you'll be better at thinking.

Summary -
In the 1930s Southern Women were eating more unsaturated fats than Northern Women and had lower metabolic rates. By 1985, American women everywhere were eating lots of unsaturated fat and had uniformly low metabolic rates. At the very least, a theory of obesity should have some predictive value in the real world. The idea that metabolic rate is partially controlled by the degree of fat saturation has predictive value in this instance.

Metabolic rates have dropped since the 1930s in parallel with penmanship and the rise in vegetable oil consumption.
Significantly increasing production capacity would take time, and companies would only do it if they thought the shortage would be long-term. There's no use making a long-term investment in response to a temporary shortage.

In the short term, the market would "address" the problem by increasing prices. Poorer parents would respond by buying less infant formula. Better-off parents would accept the price hike. Infants in poor families would suffer.

This is the sort of thing you'd expect a modern society to prevent. Just letting the market solve the issue by letting prices spike - and consequently risking malnourishment in infants - is a bad idea.
You will not die over night if you restrict calories, if you read the article you would have saw what the author wrote about the Minnesota starvation study. This tells me you have not ever tried to restrict calories and you lack the disciple or mental fortitude to cut out low density, high calorie foods such as the “cake” every week you referenced. Why not try replacing the junk food cake with steamed broccoli and fruit??

I’m sorry but I ballooned to 250 during COVID lockdown and am back to a healthy weight by lifting heavy in the squat rack (starting strength + 5x5) and eating nutritious foods at a deficit.

Until you try this or try and determine you have a medical condition and seek treatment (hyperthyroidism), you get 0 sympathy from me. Consider this some tough love from someone who put in the hard work to turn their life around.

I believe in you, please try change your mentality you are limiting yourself from any progress in weight loss and can only blame yourself.

Time preference is a function of wealth. If you are rich your time preference is already low because you can pay for all your immediate needs without flinching. Cutting spending to $300k from $700k is much easier than raising your income to $1 million. As you earn more the money that you don't have to spend at all grows bigger and makes it look like your psychological behaviour is different when you most likely are unable to spend your wealth. There are a lot of enjoyable activities that don't cost a lot of money but occupy your time.

No it isn't, or it's at least not the problematic part. curl is just the messenger, and on outputting things to a terminal you can use escape codes, and other things, to do some funky stuff like changing colors or making text blink.

If the terminal has a bug w.r.t. something it processes one could leverage that, but they'd probably need to know which terminal and maybe even which shell you're using; so maybe don't let curl/wget but also `cat` of a downloaded file output directly to the terminal if it isn't a trusted origin or if it looks/feels shady.

Optimizing graphics output in WT requires different skills than doing piping in PowerShell.

But i agree that it's almost embarrassingly bad, that native piping has had no significant progress since 2016.

With PowerShell Core (7.x) now in a good state, one would think the piping could be improved.

Do note that it is targeted for PowerShell 7.3 tentatively, so it won't be used by default in Windows 10/11 or Windows Server.

Isn't M1 two process nodes ahead of the 10700K?
They're very quick to write and they (in appropriate cases) would be quite difficult to implement otherwise (tedious state machine stuff). They are still massively overused though. Using a regex at all is a huge red flag. Sometimes they are appropriate, but not in 90% of cases in my experience.

Anyway I'm not sure the same is true for K. At least for the given example the for loop was not exactly difficult to write.

I mean, OK but we've also been to space, split the atom, discovered germ theory, harnessed quantum effects to create microchips that can do trillions of calculations per second and decoded the human genome, among other things. Humility is fine but I think it's still valid to accept that we are ahead of the ancient Greeks by more than a little, and recognize that knowledge does advance over time.

The colors being set for text are for light backgrounds, I can’t tell you why but this is pretty universal.
Correct, almost all timeseries databases divide the data in shards / partitions / whatever-it’s-called, which are then split by column, which are then compressed as a single unit.

Some databases use a fixed block size (eg as you mention, “1 day”), which are simple and stateless to manage, while others dynamically “split” blocks into smaller blocks (frequently called “ranges”), or merge them back later. The latter is significantly more complex, but is a much better approach for varying workloads where you don’t know the right shard size in advance, or need to deal with the possibility of highly varying workloads, eg you have a lot of traffic on specific time of day / day of week/month/year.
> “Asian people seem to be physiologically intolerant to milk, is it possible that Asian people are more tolerant to soy than western people in the same way that the inverse is true?”

> You:

> “MILK BAD SOY GOOD WHERE PROOF”

While I'm sure that your skill at logical leaps must be impressive, and bring you a lot of joy, I would caution against relying on it overmuch: you just took a series of logical tumble-off-a-cliff.

The very premise - "beware of soy, for it might be to blame for low T in the west!" - is nonsensical, like using old papers loaded with "might" and "we don't understand things yet" to assert the existence of a strong and obvious link between the two.

"Western people have only been drinking soy for 50 years" is also an incredibly weak argument, and jumping from that to "maybe Asian people just tolerate soy more" is - absent even minimal research that would at least suggest the possible existence of such a phenomena - just a way to castle up, and to refuse admitting that the argument(s) that led to this were flawed.
