> The current interpretation of the commerce clause is not particularly controversial in contemporary American politics (both dominant political parties are "big Federal government" parties; they just disagree on how to apply the USG's heft.)

It's not controversial to the layer of government to which derives power from it, certainly. I think politicians in states have issues with it when it's convenient.

>I think the 9th Amendment provides perfectly sufficient cover for a right to abortion, and that it would be reasonable to interpret the nonenumeration clause in a similar manner to the commerce clause (i.e., permitting federal law where required to protect rights that individual states might wish to infringe). But that's a parallel justification.

I think it will until states start banning abortion, which is their right (assuming Roe is overturned). I don't think the federal government will have power to override the decision of the states. It would be nice to see a strong interpretation for the 9th amendment come into action though. It might finally end moral crusades like the drug war.

I'm sorry to hear that; I think that a lot (most?) for-profit universities are really predatory. You pay an obscene amount of money to them, you get an education that's maybe on par with a local community college, and if you drop out you end up owing a ton of money without even that. That's why I qualified my statements with "state school or community college". They're generally at least somewhat respected, and don't cost anywhere near as much as a for-profit school. There are also some non-profits private universities that don't charge a ton of money for tuition, like the aforementioned WGU.

The first time I attempted school and dropped out, I started getting a ton of advertisements for for-profit universities in the mail. I knew that they were often scams, so I threw them away, but I can totally see an alternate universe in which I don't know that and end up with a boatload of debt for the rest of my life.

Thinking in this way has always been very toxic. Some professors think this way and will accidentally state how PhD students are overpaid and underworked... Any sane analysis would note that PhDs are valid added to society, we want PhDs, and pipelines into industry for them. Using your analysis there would never be another PhD student.

The topic is utility-scale storage.

For your house, batteries is currently your best alternative. New battery tech is coming online which may turn out to scale down to single home use. Or may not. But even lithium storage gets cheaper every year.

The right mix of storage technologies will very widely according to where it serves.

There are a lot of ways to slice those numbers; I like deaths / km as it describes the risks of traveling from point A to point B by various methods. On the other hand, it's likely skewed somehow by the fact that you rarely have more than one fatal accident per trip.

Another way of looking at it is deaths / trip; a quick search shows 4,800,000,000 bicycle trips in 2019 for a rate of 48 deaths / billion trips and 229 deaths versus 3,600,000,000 car trips and 610 deaths or 169 deaths per billion trips.

The average trip length in the US is apparently something like 10-15m which might make the number of automotive deaths per billion trips something like 130-200. Maybe. (I can't find an actual estimate of the number of trips.)

Another way is deaths per population, see one of my other comments.
The likelihood of any amendment passing on any matter whatsoever seems about as close to zero as anything in the US political landscape. It's even smaller for one regarding abortion.
Why is the solution to have a housing crash that evicts people from their homes? Housing is the most simple supply/demand issue imaginable. Remove red tape, stop with the restrictive zoning and build more housing. The issue is we've told generations of people to buy a house quickly so they can profit off of restrictive zoning because the price of their homes will go up. This cycle has create in immovable NIMBY class. The solution isn't crashing the American economy.
And to add, and where do you get the materials to build the wind turbines and solar plants?

Correct. You need separate, less reliable tooling to use ACME with nginx.
> Even in WW2 where air power was far more powerful, it's still debated how much it contributed to success.

The allies certainly had tactical air superiority in the last few months of the war, which hammered German Armour, but didn't in itself wipe out dogged resistance. The Luftwaffe was pretty scarce over the battlefields because it was occupied trying to stop the bomber offensive over Germany itself. The bombers themselves didn't really begin to properly dismantle German manufacturing until 1945. So air power did contribute to success in the end, but not as anticipated before the war.
I think it makes it sound cool, like this is ACTUALLY her work, awesome!

>Are you serious? You sound like a parody.. a parrot of the false political attacks on bitcoin. Are you literally an ignorant bigot or a troll?

Are my examples[0][1][2] not documented uses for Bitcoin? Note that I was responding to someone who claimed Bitcoin was useless. It is not.

Yes, there are other uses for Bitcoin (Hodling, mostly), but from a consumer standpoint, illegal stuff is what most of us would likely use Bitcoin for.

Troll? Not sure what you've got your panties in a bunch about here. Everything I mentioned is documented as true. And I don't really care how you (or anyone else) feels or reacts to what I have to say.

As such, that it bothers you says more about you than it does about me, IMNSHO.

Bigot? How do you get there?

Bigot(n)
a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his
or her own opinions and prejudices especially : one who
regards or treats the members of a group (such as a racial
or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance
(Source: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bigot )

Please explain how that could apply in this context.

So no. Not a troll or a bigot. You (at least it appears that way) seem to think that I disagree with you and, as such, made a personal attack on me. What gives? I didn't attack you or anyone else. I merely stated some facts that debunked GP's assertion that Bitcoin was "useless."

Again, your (apparently) angry reaction to factual statements says more about you than about me.

I hope you have a good day and have a chance to relax and reduce your stress levels, which seem pretty high ATM.

> If we consider the map example, the order of elements to which the function is applied must be irrelevant, so you must have non-determinism at the most fundamental level.

This is not true. Parallelism does not require non-determinism (you can e.g. require as part of your interface that your list that you are map-reducing be pre-sorted and then using that sort key the order of operations is entirely determined, you could even pin certain sort keys to certain processor cores; this is in fact how some parallel interfaces for certain parallelism libraries operate, minus the pinning).

But that's only partially related to the larger point, which is that any discussion about the semantics vs the implementation of a program depends on where you draw the line between the semantics of your program and its runtime behavior. For different environments that line will be at different places. For most applications, runtime and memory usage are usually not considered part of its semantics (otherwise e.g. the notion of porting an application or refactoring wouldn't exist, since both of those would be changing the application's performance and therefore its semantics and would be essentially the same as changing the application's interface). In hard real-time environments, on the other hand, usually runtime and memory usage are considered part of its semantics, so the division between parallelism and concurrency is less relevant there.

> I can't find any difference beyond "concurrency is a semantic property, parallelism is runtime manifestation of concurrency", which only makes them even more equivalent-ish.

A very practical difference is that if you tell me a program is concurrent, but non-parallel I have a good idea of the outline what that program does. If you tell me that a program is parallel, but not concurrent, I also have a good idea of what that program is. And the two are very different and require very different engineering trade-offs.

Examples of the former include things such as chatbots, web servers, databases (usually the latter two will also sprinkle in parallelism), etc. Examples of the latter include compilers, physics simulations, rendering engines, etc.

And different tools are tuned for different use cases. If you use a tool meant for building concurrent, but not necessarily parallel programs, you'll have a bad time building a parallel, but not concurrent program with it and vice versa. E.g. Node JS is great for concurrent, but not parallel programs. You will have a horrible time building a parallel, but not concurrent program with it. None of its trade-offs will make sense. A similar case holds for something like Erlang (it at least has some support for parallelism, but it's not its strong suit). On the flip-side, Fortran is great for parallel but not concurrent programs, but you're not going find a lot of support for concurrent programs.

The price of the raw materials for batteries is going up dramatically and the supply is not increasing accordingly. That's with today's demands- not a future where we need 10x the battery capacity.

There's been a lot of attention paid to nickel recently, but nickel may have enough availability with Tesla getting New Caledonia mining back online and Indonesia being ready to mine their nickel deposits. Still, the price of nickel is up ~2x right now. Cobalt is also up ~2x and has major ethical issues. But let's assume the industry can move at least grid storage applications to the LFP chemistry and reduce the pressure on these minerals.

The price of lithium is up ~5x. It's easy for this author or Elon Musk to say that there is plenty of lithium in the ground, but it's a lot harder to actually produce it. Tesla is experimenting with new lithium extraction techniques in Nevada- this will take a lot of time to come to fruition. The easiest scenario is existing mines increasing their production, but even in these cases it can be a long process to satisfy environmental concerns. Historically commodity super cycles last 10+ years with metals being much longer.

I would be interested in someone with more knowledge than me projecting the future here on both the demand and supply side, but instead in the article you linked we get "Lithium is not rare, but demand is growing so fast mining may take a few years to catch up". I don't think the author appreciates how long it takes to bring significant mining capacity online. And certainly the stated assumption that the "cost of these batteries is plummeting" is completely untrue at this point. Those with a deeper understanding are warning of a possible battery shortage [1].

Jeff, thanks so much for putting that stipend information together; I'm sure your list has started discussions amongst students and amongst faculty at many institutions. The variance in stipends was eye-opening to me, and clearly they all need to go up.

The posted numbers for my home institution, the University of Maryland, are a bit off; current offers are $25k for 9-month and up to $36k for 12-month, if funded on an RA over the summer. That RA summer funding is not guaranteed. Again, clearly, this needs to go up.

If you have the headcount for people just to build/support Airflow, please do yourself a favor and give that money to Astronomer.io. Their offering is stupid good. There's 20 different reasons why paying them is a much better idea than managing Airflow yourself (including using MWAA), and it's dirt cheap considering what you get.
if you're looking for more technical ones the two interviews he did with Crhis Lattner on compilers are great. Francois Chollet and Schmidhuber and other ML related interviews were good also.

That was during an unprecedented event, when March/April/May 2000 saw millions of UI claims filed in a very short period.

Eventually it was sorted out but at considerable human cost. As of Jan 1 2021 something like 1.5 million claimants had their benefits stopped until they had shown proof of identity. It took months to get it all straightened out, especially for people who didn't have drivers licenses, for example.
Worth is based on scarcity, need and agreement in peculiar ways. Some people can agree to trade an asset while some don't. Before fiat, it was fiat pegged to the dollar, fiat supported by gold, gold, silver, various metals. There was not enough silver to support the habits and economy of the British so even opium was used as a currency. And "we" switched to gold because there was not enough silver to support the economic growth (and then fiat). (And here is a random web write-up:https://www.abcbullion.com.au/investor-centre/blog/Silver-an....)

The real irony is when central banks try to make their own digital currencies, to more effectively try the past negative interest rate experiment among many other things like tracking. (Japan tried it as an interbank borrowing rate but had the opposite results.)(China is planning to do all that, and the Fed made a proposal here also -- unlikely to be taken seriously -- https://www.federalreserve.gov/central-bank-digital-currency....) The working theory to my understanding of such proposals is: "We shall qualm the thirst of the public for digital, and also have a more effective tool to price/change the scarcity and cost of having paper money directly bypassing the banks."

>"The day when we have the central bank digital currency, any digital euro, I will guarantee it," she said. "So the central bank will be behind it. I think that is vastly different from any of those things."

What Christine meant to say is she doesn't like it that a central bank is not involved, because it has implications for her job and IMF as a private lending institution if people can move money that easily.

She is not wrong though in her warning; it is a risky asset. Yet to that effect other stocks for instance have much higher volatility and have been shorted to death. Bonds and gold have/had plummeted at various occasions despite that. And diversifying is almost impossible -- e.g. some hedge funds while having perfectly hedged were doomed as Lehman went down taking their assets with it.

I think historically and using physics and economics we can assert only one think, that everything tends to have zero value in the end -- \lim \limits _{t\rightarrow \infty} value(t) = 0. In that effect she is right. (Empires will crumple, habits and attitudes shall change, and if not the sun will finish the job.)

P.S. Personally, the day central banks have a digital currency that is forced eventually is the day I call 1984 done. Central banks are always political beasts and tools.

I'm aware of this, but egalitarianism is a core value of mine that I won't compromise on even if it's in an unusual direction.
"Early studies of how the spectra of stars are produced had relied on something known as local thermal equilibrium. They had assumed that locally, energy in each region of a star's atmosphere has time to spread out and reach a kind of equilibrium. This would make it possible to assign to each such region a temperature, which leads to a considerable simplification in the calculations.

But as early as the 1950s, astronomers had realized that this picture was oversimplified. Since then, more and more studies incorporated so-called Non-LTE calculations, dropping the assumption of local equilibrium."

The group led by Ekaterina Magg, Maria Bergemann and colleagues leaders in non-LTE calculations resolved a contradiction in solar abundance finding that denser (than helium) materials accounted for 26% more (less than 2% total and each <0.6%) than previous calculations.

Nope. It's a popular misconception that people think burning more energy than a mid-sized country to maintain a rounding error in the world's finances with pathetic transaction throughput is unacceptable only because we don't realise the energy use isn't strictly proportional to the transaction throughput.

But it doesn't, it just requires acknowledging that crypto is burning more energy than most countries for a comparatively tiny number of people to gamble a comparatively tiny amount of wealth, and that the actual incentive structure of PoW (probability of block rewards based on consuming more energy than rivals) is the most wantonly environmentally destructive technology invented in a history which also includes leaded petrol and CFCs.
This looks more like political agitprop and a rehash of the social gospel movement of the early 20th century than a serious biblical exegesis.

DuckDuckGo treats its ad partners' dataflows differently
At my previous employer, we were running self-hosted Airflow in AWS, which really was a nightmare. The engineer that set it up didn't account for any kind of scaling and all the code was a mess. We would also get issues like logs not syncing correctly in our environment or transient networking issues that somehow didn't fail the given Airflow task. Eventually, we did a dual migration: temporarily switching to AWS managed Airflow (their Amazon Managed Workflows for Apache Airflow product) while also rewriting the DAGs in Dagster.

Dagster was a great solution for us. Their notion of software defined assets allowed us to track metadata of the Redshift and Snowflake tables we were working with. Working with re-runs and partitioned data was a breeze. It did take a while to onboard the whole team and get things working smoothly, which was a bit difficult because Dagster is still young and they were often making changes to how parts of the system worked (although nothing that was immediately backwards incompatible).

We also enjoyed some of the out of the box features like resources and unit testing jobs. Overall, I think it made our team focus more on our data and what we wanted to do with it rather than feeling like we had to wrangle with Airflow just to get things running.
Will giving this money to built up solar and extract the needed neodyme/copper increase the worldwide deployment of solar and wind, or are the mines already running at close to max capacity anyway and new developments are stalled by a lack of workforce, administrative decisions, or environmentalists?

Unless by "want" you mean "selfishly desire or selflessly believe is the morally right thing", and not the common use of only "selfish desire".
