I agree with your point about scientific breakthroughs coming via pure curiosity. I’m just saying that we can’t forget the human agency at play here. We didn’t have to build the atom bomb, and it wasn’t exactly simple to turn insights from physics into the atom bomb (it took a team of the best scientists and technologists many years). Also, we can influence the direction of how technology is used. Even setting up the atom bomb to be used involves a ton of decisions and implementation that can be questioned and molded by individual people.

Essentially I believe that fear of powerful technology comes from an irrational distrust in people as incompetent or malicious. Same with desire for powerful technology to control or replace people (e.g. algocracy). It seems to reflect a lot of the rhetoric and motivations of the eugenics movement. But the problem is, it can perhaps be a self-fulfilling prophecy. People are capable of being incredibly competent if encouraged to do so. So I think we should go in that direction, of empowerment and freedom rather than control or replacement. And if our governing structures or institutions or culture are making it difficult to go in that direction, we should fight those.
To add to this, _everyone_ has some kind of inconsistent belief system. It's fairly simple to determine this, when people get defensive it's almost certainly based on something incongruous between their beliefs and actions, or possibly broaches a belief they hold to be true, but are unable to demonstrate why it's true. Therefore causing defensive behavior when challenged.

I.E., very few people get upset if you say "the sky is not blue", as this is non-threatening to their beliefs and they can verify the truth themselves.

But state "your political position X is based on this specific false premise of Y", if someone holds this position strongly but cannot justify it will often trigger an emotional and often irrational defense.
Not true at all. It's something philosophers and mathematicians have explored.

Okay yeah I should mention that I did my PhD in Germany, where a Master's is a prerequisite and there is nearly no course work (the little that is required is solved ... let's call it ... creatively, but the real work is done in the Master's)
Storage cost is falling faster than renewables cost ever did.

So in the meantime, build out renewables so that you have something other than fossil fuels to charge your storage from. Then build storage. By then it will be radically cheaper than it is now.
There's another tactic that you could list under the "strategic model" so that it becomes like the "outlier model": misrepresent how many people actually hold the opposing view. For example, with abortion, by the way it's presented on social media, you would think it's a men vs women topic. But as recently as 2019[0], of pro-lifers, women were the majority. And pro-lifers are nearly half of the population.

But if you were to gauge the sizes of the groups based on MSM and social media, you would think pro-lifers were much smaller of a group, and dominated by men. This is a strategy to convert the other side into the "outlier model" so that it is justified to not make any attempt to hear them. This strategy appears to be super effective... of amplifying some causes and downplaying other causes, so much so, that it should have its own category in the models section.

There's also the sinking of the Bismarck. Largest battleship created by the Germans. It's fate was sealed when the rudder was disabled by biplane torpedo bombers launched from British aircraft carrier Ark Royal.

It did get sunk by battleships but only after it couldn't run anymore.
(S)he was wrong. There is no first-in-first-out principle in Sweden, neither by law nor by practice. Instead the last to enter _may_ be the first to leave, but the employer can choose to withhold two persons. Also, this arithmetic is determined per "office" so depending on how you organise the workforce you can, at least in principle and to some degree, select who has to go.

I think the "actual" here means something like "in contrast to the movie Hidden Figures, which gives only a superficial view of what Katherine Johnson actually did". So instead of a few minutes in a movie with some equations scribbled on a blackboard, this is the actual work in context.

That's what I meant with "unless you run it from the console". But since the purpose with PHP is usually to run it on a webserver, you want to try that it actually works with the webserver.
The timing is notable, coming on the heels of an emphatic conservative critique of compelled vaccination. For the first time in memory the right side of the aisle has been arguing for bodily autonomy and the left for the state's right to compel people to accept medical treatment over objection (or even an extended form of home-confinement). It's the first time in memory I have some hope the different sides of the debate might see common ground.

I love traefik, but getting started is kinda rough if you’re not quite technical. There are like three different places to put configuration, and even getting informative error messages out of the thing it’s not exactly trivial.

But once it works, it works.
I (100% pro-choice) think they just get bored with hammering on the bodily autonomy aspect, so they start making posts about what the bible "really" says about abortion and other weak, as you say, arguments. I really think they get tired of saying the same thing over and over, even though it's important. I know I do.
They probably meant historically. If I remember correctly it was coined as a part of a wider strategy decades ago. Of course, it is a catchy term and is being used widely now.

Similarly the term political correctness was initially a term used in jest by the left I think.
For the record; i do not advocate "people as property".

However, where the state holds us responsible for the actions of those living creatures in our care, the state does treat them (and us) as property.

different starting points can yield different results without producing a fundamental problem. It's like the score in a video game. But it is bad if a starting point can yield any result, or a result and its negation, at that point you provably might as well believe anything.
> Saying "consume less/differently" is not the same as saying "be poor".

To have significant impact all these "eat less, have fewer kids, don't use services that demand the use of cars" is more or less "be poor".

> It seem that you read nothing past the title of that article. Those are fossil fuel companies.

Does it matter? The number matters. 100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions.

Literally nothing you or I can do in our entire lifetime will have any significant impact compared to this 100 hundred. And we haven't talked about the long tail of companies.

Individuals have been sold a lie that only they are responsible for fighting the climate change.

Annotated Tags hold meta info for the tag. (git tag -a) That's why a lot of advice is to always use annotated tags. They look like a commit with an author, a message, and can be signed, etc.

Branches can change over time, whereas tags are largely immutable. A change to a tag always requires a force push and if you've got branch protection tools in your repository host's arsenal you can often entirely prevent tag changes.

I'd also like to point out that often if you are using merge commits as your "version management tool" there's a lot of people that use "branch per environment" strategies and need to merge between environments. There's a lot more risk in that approach than a tag-based approach: if a tag doesn't change after it is applied, then you don't need to rebuild binaries to deploy it again. If you don't rebuild binaries between environments you have to make sure the same binaries work in all environments, which is good practice. I've seen too many times "branch-per-environment" strategies wind up with per-environment code that is difficult to untangle and makes testing and debugging difficult and merge conflicts more likely and more complicated and increases the risk of per-environment bugs.
That’s true, it doesn’t capture data from the last two months.

The trends in market valuations have been consistent for several months now though, going back into last year. Whereas any collapse in consumer spending has yet to manifest itself for any longer than a month and a half.
>> I used to struggle with people not responding to my emails when I tried to get their approval on a change I was making. “People are busy,” my manager explained. “Instead say, ‘I’ll be making this change on Thursday unless you object before then.’”

YUP. I first heard of it as "UOD" = "Unless Otherwise Directed".

Extremely useful, as in politely explain the basic reasoning and "UOD, I'll be implementing X, Y,, and Z starting Thursday..." make sure everyone gets that message and proceed. Works both within organizations and even with partners and customers. I also can't say I've ever heard a complaint when it was used.
haha, classic

> I booked that distant hotel and took an uber everyday. Now here’s the kicker: the hotel + uber cost more than what I would have paid if I had gotten a hotel walking distance from the venue.

I ran into the same problem. All the decent hotel rooms near a customer site were booked up, so I bought a blanket from Target for $20 and slept in my car rather than sleep in a bug-infested motel for $100. I couldn't expense the blanket, though. (In the company's defense, I think this is due to tax laws making it too complicated for the company to allow, rather than any particular person's incompetence)
Drops are usually made through consumer-grade drones.

Those drones have limited range, and need to be proximate to, and be able to rapidly find, targets.

Which requires intel.

At this point ... I lack specific information on where or how that intel is aquired. Some may be from surveillance-drone flights or getting lucky sending out individual drone-attack missions. I suspect more, however.

If I just start learning, I don't stop until it's too late and I'm probably burnt out on the topic. If I have a goal but haven't started working on it, I study what I think I need to accomplish that goal until I think I understand or realize it's not what I needed in the first place. If I need to know something to complete a concrete task, I learn the very least I possibly can to do what I need to do, and return to learning if I fail, until I succeed.
But how do those people know? It's not like witnessing it in person gives them mind-reading ability. Are interviewees going around and telling others "I was playing the 'yes, and' game?" How do people know what they intend?
Is there really any question about whether or not courts can force the transfer of an NFT or impose penalties?

Say you hold most of your wealth in some cryptocurrency and are going to file for bankruptcy. Do you think the courts will tell your creditors that the Bitcoin is beyond reach? I suspect they wouldn’t treat it differently from any other asset.

That the blockchain is interpreted as a record of ownership is irrelevant. It merely records what has happened and says nothing about the nature of those transfers.
There is nothing about blockchains that requires them to be decentralized, trustless or permissionless. This is a common misunderstanding of blockchains.
>You can still quit.

This is bad advice. The sheepskin effect is real and a company that "cares about the PhD as a marker" is not being petty or superficial in using this as a screening mechanism. Unless you're truly looking to enter a field where having a PhD would be of no value on your resume, just finish your PhD if you're 6 years in and can do so without too much additional distraction.
What I struggle with is that half the databases that have been built over the last decade would have claimed these same principles. It isn't so much that these principles are not novel or unique that gives me pause, but the lack of acknowledgement of how many expertly designed databases failed to deliver on them. These principles contain no insights into why anyone should expect this particular database to succeed where similarly qualified people have failed. At a minimum, these principles smuggle in the assumption that several Hard Problems, both theoretical and practical, have been addressed (which is possible but not in evidence).

As another way of framing it, these principles seem to be making the unstated assumption that the Future Database only supports a narrow set of data models and workloads. Which would be considerably less interesting than actually reimagining core database architecture and solving hard problems.
> However, I think it's extremely unprofessional to write a blog post saying that your supervisor is superficial or your research group is performative art.

lol. You don't know the weight of crushed aspirations and a two year opportunity cost.

> I don't say this because I think we should just take the venerable professor's word for it, but because accusations in general, if they're vague enough, are impossible to defend against.

again lol. publication game is well know.

> I think if there's enough substance to make your comment specific, you should. Maybe even write a paper explaining why what they're doing is nonsense. If you're right, this would genuinely be a contribution to the field. If you can't be specific enough to be scientific about it, just keep it to yourself.

again lol. this is a very academic answer. Actually, I'm not sure university administrations write a paper on policies and ask for peer comments before making changes. They just do it, in the most brutal, authoritarian/top-down/corporate way possible. But the top brass needs papers from the bottom. Show me how much academia has been optimized by writing papers about academia. Well, even if they did they are useless.
> For example, with abortion, by the way it's presented on social media, you would think it's a men vs women topic.

Because one of the most common talking points is that "they just want to control women's bodies".
One thing I’ve come to realize over the years - words are rarely about what they seem on the surface or their contents, but almost always:

1) trying to convince or manipulate someone else or themselves to their benefit, either to agree with them (which feels good), or do something they want (which feels good)

2) self awareness, especially on self mental health, is in extremely short supply.

You understood the point though. Abortion is a third rail political topic so for most unenlightened people on either side of the issue, there is no middle ground.
We don't have storage because we have not built out storage. After we have built out storage, we will have storage.

Until we have enough renewables to charge storage from, any storage would have to be charged from fossil fuels. So, it would be stupid to spend money building out storage with money that could be spent building out renewables. After we have enough renewables, we will want storage. Storage will be radically cheaper at that time.
> Germany derives 25% of its power consumption from natural gas.

It's been barely over 10% in 2021. -10% from the previous year. Please stop spreading lies anybody can google up in seconds: https://strom-report.de/download/strommix-2021-deutschland/

> If they want to replace it with renewable energy, then they'll need storage.

They obviously don't because it took them one year to get rid of 10% of it already. Without any significant expansion of storage capacity or expansion of renewables btw because the previous Goverment was not in for that. This one is.

I don't know where you get those arguments from but you should seriously reconsider those sources.
The rise of zoonotic infections should not be surprising at all given the rate of deforestation and general disregard for nature.

There's a bunch of people saying that it isn't traitorous to understand your opponent, but boy do people make you feel like it is. People like their strawmen because it reinforces the collective groupthink of their tribe, and anything that possibly humanizes the opponent also weakens the argument that your side is objectively correct. If you're interested in finding the truth then understanding your opponent is a critical step in finding the truth, but if you're interested in belonging to your tribe then understanding your opponent is anathema. Don't forget, you are not immune to propaganda, and you are not immune to tribalism, even if you know that you are not immune to either.

My solution to fostering cooperation is to switch to a voting system other than first past the post, so that political parties can be elected that are too small to have a majority on their own and must cooperate to govern, but that's just my opinion and I'm not sure it'll work at this point

Out of curiosity, since you've gone through this before, do you have any advice on the best way to manage your time doing a part-time PhD.

I've started my part-time a month ago, and it's been pretty exhausting already, and I suspect it will get harder. How did you budget time to talk to family, or to do something for yourself to avoid burnout?
I strongly agree. I thought I would have this same feeling with Rust way back when I first learned about it, but the more I use Zig and Rust, the more I prefer the former for systems programming

I had a dog which was absolutely crazy for cucumbers. He was typically sneaking into garden, sniffing for cucumbers among leaves, took it out and eat it. When I was peeling cucumber, he was salivating and whimpering to eat peelings, he would get angry if I didn't share at least some of of them. My current dog eats almost anything (he didn't like raw lemon), including most fabrics, but he's only a year old. Had to electrify the garden though because he digged and tried to eat compost.

When it comes to scale and DS work I'd use the ploomber open-source (https://github.com/ploomber/ploomber). It allows an easy transition between dev and production, incrementally building the DAG so you avoid expensive compute time and costs. It's easier to maintain and integrates seamlessly with Airflow, generating the DAGs for you.

Oh, it's logically wrong on a number of levels.

If they believe all three of these things, as well as the unsaid and equally necessary fourth that it is the government's job to enforce them regardless of the will of the people, then they must also believe -

It is the government's job to ensure -everyone- receives necessary care. That means, minimally, food, shelter, healthcare, regardless of your work situation, age, (dis)ability, etc.

Breadth first thinker here: Understand the jokes, these are the edges and shape of its applicability, and mnemonics for its concepts. Get very good depth first in a few other foundation areas so that you know what discipline and rigor of real depth looks like, figure out how to identify people who also have depth in something, and then use their minds to scale yours.

I have absolute respect for depth of skills, and arguably even a rare appreciation for them, but with the caveat that there are diminishing returns and limited scalability on them, and this is the problem I typically index on solving. That is to say, I often tell people deadpan (to the point of it almost being my catchphrase), "I don't know very much, but I have opinions about everything."
