2mg is considered a potentially lethal dose[0] of fentanyl. The new law decriminalizes up to 2.5g of it, or enough fentanyl to potentially kill 1200 people. I wouldn't consider that "small amounts".

By senior I mean "senior or associate professors and lecturers" like
myself, and by middle I mean postdoc full lecturers with at least
5-10 years. I don't know what to say about the word "tenured" because
it's meaning seems very different in the UK than it is used in USA.
In the US I get the idea people think "tenure" makes you impossible
fire. Yet here I know of two full professors with over 20 years
service, scores of publications and teaching awards in their pockets
who were "let go" (forced quit). I know many more who are planning to
quit, and there seems a dearth of replacements to step into their
shoes.
>I vote to defend the individual right of people to belong in the US even if they won't vote for "individual rights".

Those who don't vote are not the issue.

If one comes to a nation based on principles of individual rights, and they are not activists opposing the individual rights, they're just confused, and should be ignored as long as they don't violate the rights of others, but they are free (despite their opposition to it) to stay and be confused.

I made no claims about people who do not vote. I stated the truth; that voting is a mechanism to defend individual rights. There is no such thing as a right to vote to violate the rights of others.

If you are for individual rights, than you belong in a nation based on the principle of individual rights, whether you vote or not. If you oppose individual rights, you belong least of all on a nation based on the principle of individual rights, but your "vote" is illegitimate and should not be tolerated, as you'd be a saboteur.

Those who would be free have one nation on the planet meant for them. Cowards, tyrants, and willing slaves, have the entire rest of the planet to suffer. Those who oppose freedom don't reside in the one place meant to be free with good intention. If they just haven't left yet, they could easily find help leaving asap.

CRISPR Gone Wrong: Fluffy Hamsters Turn into ‘Aggressive’ Rage Monsters
One could conjecture that "Apoploe" is similar to από πουλί, "from bird". But I don't have much support for that conjecture.
The annoying part is that there are many changes which federal & state governments can make to the financial system to ensure wage growth better tracks inflation without sacrificing growth. Such as capping federally backed mortgages at 150% of the labor replacement cost of material fixtures whenever that's lower than the comparable sales price. Or replacing federal payroll and income taxes on earnings under $100,000 with a national excess property tax on property comparable sales values minus 50% of fixture labor replacement costs. Or provide local public banks which appraise excess property values separately from labor replacement costs and spending publicly collected interest payments back into circulation on public works.
I find this paper a bit confusing.

Authors use "woman", "men", "male" and "female" interchangeably at beginning. Latter to stay on safe side they use word "sex". But try to determine that from persons name and images!

Perhaps authors should first define what they are trying to measure. And then ask people about their sex and gender identity!

Guessing core data makes this paper totally random and irrelevant!

From paper:

> In line with the practice of previous research on sex representation on editorial boards, we coded the sex of
academics according to whether their names were clearly male or female (e.g. Ioannidou & Rosiana 2015).
When this was not obvious we used Google Search to find their sex from pictures or left the sex variable missing
when this was insufficient. Of the 5,625 editorial board members in our dataset, we were unable to determine
the sex of 7 individuals.
A bit over-egged, but there is not denying there are a raft of problems in academia.

On the other hand, observant or not, it's still (nearly ) the only game in town for some sorts of things that people want to do. Some people pursue that for a long time hoping things will shake out ok for them... as it does very much for some.

I’ve been reading about Pat Gelsinger turning things around on execution, but many of the announced products for this year are already late (Sapphire Rapids, GPUs, even alder lake roll out was late).

Do you know if anything has changed at Intel? Is it reasonable to expect changes within a year and a half of starting on the job given the size of the company and the changes needed?

What’s the difference between a Zulip topic and a Slack channel? Certainly, having one big #engineering Slack channel is unproductive (hundreds of people interacting)… but who’s stopping you from creating #engineering-utc-9 for the people who require it? Put it in another way, what prevents us from using Zulip topics the “wrong way”?
Blender is unique in the way thet they were not only in the business of developing software, but also creating a film using it. Each of film they produced had certain focus to it, so my understanding is that development process was designed to meet these requirements, and they implemented them in the way artists can use it. (And they perhaps have had very close feedback loop as well.)

It also helped 3DCG is relatively niche, at least not the type of a tool that people would expect to be able to use it without learning it considerably. At the same time Blender did make some compromises around the 2.8 version to adopt to more of industry standard UI interactions as opposed to sticking with the their own way of doing
> In professional circles, maybe you see some people retiring sooner than they would otherwise would have.

Mother was working as a teacher for over 40 years. A real teacher by calling. Kids loved her, always got the most flowers and chocolades etc.

Unfortunately she had to retire prematurely because the work conditions became terrible.

Goverment wants you to do more and more for the same pay. On top of that ppl quit and you have to fill in for them too. Slowly the situation will resemble retail sector.

Healthcare and Education are the two sections we should NEVER be cheap on.

Unfortunately our rulers dont see that.
Looks great. Never heard before about rocket chat. Has anybody tried getting video calls working on it?
That's really cool!

It sounds like you were slowly making the shift to farming over the years and the pandemic sped that along. Do you see yourself shifting back the other direction?

Also, what areas are you developing automation for?
Our kids are teenagers now, so if they choose to stay and help out, we'll expand the efforts, yes. But if they don't, this place will be too much for just my wife and I so we'll simplify and go somewhere smaller. Our best shot at commercial success would be maple syrup, as our forest is already starting to transition from oak/hickory to a maple forest. I won't see much of the long-term benefit of that in my lifetime, but kids and grandkids could, so it is up to them to decide if they want it.

A ban like that would do nothing useful anyway. Public transport might make more space on the road, but it does not save energy.

Numbers: "Public transportation use saves the U.S. the equivalent of 4.2 billion gallons of gasoline annually"[1] "In 2021, about 134.83 billion gallons (or about 3.21 billion barrels)1 of finished motor gasoline were consumed in the United State"[2].

Not sure I count as mid career yet(graduated 2018, starting PhD 2022) but I can certainly echo the sentiment. I work in life sciences academia and if it were not for me leaving for school I 100% would be swapping to industry. I’m even quitting a bit earlier than anticipated because I’m fed up.

I’ve been getting a lot more recruitment outreach this spring, some good some bad. The biggest thing is that they’re offering sometimes up to 2x my salary. My institution already compensates much higher than most schools (I make 70k, most research techs make like 30k-40k) so this was quite striking. Also hours are better, etc.

A better barometer perhaps would be the postdocs I know, the majority of which are not bothering to pursue academia. Only 2 that I’m aware of landed tenure track faculty jobs. I personally have no plans to stay in academia unless I somehow land a tenure track faculty position at a R1 university which might as well be like winning the lottery. I’ll stick to industry or leverage my training to go into patent law/science policy/biotech investing.

The game looks like this in tree form:

-> Keep -> 2A
2A -> Switch -> A
0.5 ->
A -> Keep -> A
-> Switch -> 2A

Switch and keep both have an expectation of 3A/2 because (1/2)2A + (1/2)A. In the equation in the article they use (1/2)2A + (1/2)*A/2. They count A/2 as half of what the actual outcome should be. The mistake was abusing the A to have different meanings.

They created two trees one with 2A.

-> Keep -> 2A
2A -> Switch -> A
0.5 ->
A -> Keep -> A
-> Switch -> 2A

And another with 1/2A

-> Keep -> A
A -> Switch -> 1/2A
0.5 ->
1/2A -> Keep -> 1/2A
-> Switch -> A

Than they treated the chance node as selecting from these two different trees at the same time with 1/2 probability. Which is nonsensical. You can't be in an entirely different game with 1/2 probability - it isn't the same game so for analysis purposes it has 0 probability of being reached.
I think answering the initial question might benefit from a lot of context.

I've worked on quite a few teams who built atop dotnet core (cross-platform) and also have access to auto-horizontal-scaling PAAS solutions (such as Azure App Services) and who tend to reach for Docker well before they need it.

Now we all have to manage port mappings, env var mappings, file path mappings etc., the better part of a full OS-worth of abstractions when all the abstraction that we need is provided by the technologies I mentioned prior to adding Docker.
> One of my favorite examples is the classification model that will identify an apple with a sticker on it that says “pear” as a pear—it makes sense, but is still surprising when you first see it.

That classification model (CLIP) is the first stage of this image generator (DALLE) - and actually this shows that it doesn't think they're exactly the same thing, or at least that's not the full story, because DALL-E doesn't confuse the two.

However, other CLIP guided image generation models do like to start writing the prompt as text into the image if you push them too hard.
This is extremely disingenuous. There are tons of usability issues when you have E2EE, to the point where you'd basically have to redesign Zulip and it wouldn't work the same way (e.g. how do you add a colleague to a chat channel and have them see old messages that they don't have keys for?).

I'm going to assume good faith in your comment, but I'm really having a hard time doing it, and I'm one of the people who worked for SilentCircle! Another one of those people currently works for Zulip (hey Austin!).

TL;DR: It would take a ton of effort and would basically require a pivot of the business model. Yet you present it as if it's some afterthought that can be tacked on, completely ignoring the fact that all none of their competitors (Slack, Teams, etc) support E2EE.

Your USD -> GBP conversion rates are off.

1.32 USD ~ 1.05 GBP

Still, your point is clear.
I would say increasing deterrence and eliminating attractive soft targets.

Strong deterrence would help prevent most unhappy people from deciding to become active shooters. For example, if it was widely known (or at least widely believed) that active shooters would be killed and that active shooters taken alive would face swift justice with a guaranteed death penalty then fewer unhappy people would become active shooters. Certainly there would be some "suicide-by-police" types, but that would need to be addressed through other means designed to help those facing depression and suicidal ideations get mental health care.

The Uvalde shooter did not have any deterrence because the police response was ridicuously bad. If police cannot or will not protect people, the people must protect themselves.

Eliminating soft targets would include changes to harden the physical security of schools, churches, and other places that are "gun free" zones. "Gun free zones" are only gun-free for law-abiding citizens. They are the physical equivalent to open ports on the Internet with a default username and password. Anyone can walk in and do what they want because there is nothing to stop them. It is the same as having a "police-free" city or an "army-free" nation.

A person considering becoming an active shooter should not know where they can "safely" attack and it should be difficult to get into schools, churches, etc. unless the proper procedures are followed, for example, a designated entry point, perhaps a metal detector check or something similar.
I work 100% in a git UI. Everything but merge diffs I do in Sourcetree... for diffs I use VS. It's how I've learned. Here's some of my scattered reasoning:

- It's a separate, dedicated application to do just my source control

- Keeping repos in tabs makes it easy to switch between projects (yes, you could use screen or some other multiplexer, but it's just not as fast for me)

- I'm Windows

- Easier to review history / merges at a glance

- Sucks that SourceTree doesn't have diffing, but it's much easier to do diffs/merge conflict resolution in a UI

- Clicking through items to see what's staged/unstaged is quick

Well I can't speak for other interviewers especially at other organizations, but I try very hard to make it a positive experience. In fact I'll give as much help as necessary to get to a working solution, within reason. I would much rather fix the lambda syntax myself or help the candidate find an example on stackoverflow so we can go back to the interesting part. If the interview ends with a working solution but needed a ton of help, the candidate probably did not pass but maybe they learned something. And maybe they'll tell their peers that it seemed like a place where they could fail without embarrassment, collaborate, and learn.
Then what are you advocating for? If people can't parlay wages into assets that can at least perform in the same ballpark as wages then "work until you drop" or "crank out kids like a pre-industrial subsistence farmer" is what you'll get.

It takes roughly a career to amass enough assets to retire on and that's with a slightly reduced standard of living in retirement.

Unless you want to assume population growth forever (seems unwise IMO) you need one average career to generate enough surplus to pay for an average retirement. So far, buying assets (usually a mix of real estate and fractional ownership of financial instruments that are ultimately backed by companies and governments) is the most efficient way we know to accomplish this goal.
>not like the developed “West”

The west is like this today (apart from the countries that built themselves up on colonial empires of theft) in part also to a lot of violent and sometimes deadly revolts against the ruling class.

US, UK, France, Italy, Germany, etc. all saw bloody strikes and protests, in order to get fair living conditions. Noting was ever given out of pure generosity, without a fight.
What does Twitter have to do with this?

Twitter was never a market leader in the way Google and Apple are. It was a distant 3rd or 4th behind FB, IG and Snap.
The best way to keep prices low is strong competition.

Amazon Basics undercuts competitors by having no cost to sell on the Amazon marketplace. Then once the competitor they're imitating is out of business, they can raise prices, and you wind up paying more.

I think it would be perfectly fine if the Basics brand existed as an independent company and paid the same fees as everyone else. But real competitors can't sell at a loss indefinitely just to win over the whole market.
Since tattoos are so mainstream and common now, they probably send the opposite signal today than they did in the past. When I meet people under 40 or so -without- tattoos, my first impression is they might be more interesting, trend-bucking, counterculture, free thinking, etc.

Obviously tattoo/no tattoo is a bad, low-signal way to size someone up, just pointing out the signal itself has phase-inverted from say 20 years ago.
Third Month Metrics for an Open-Source Company
"Rent seeking" used to be an economic pejorative. Much like "regulatory capture." Now the system is such that those practices which are considered more corrupt, less productive, and less pro-social are the only ways to "make it" let alone make it big. I don't buy into the notion of rebellion by the "wage slaves" though. They're so at each other's throats, divided by arbitrary identity and cultural distinctions to make any cohesive political change impossible, even in nations where they (supposedly) have the ability to do so via elections. You'll own nothing and you'll (pretend to be) happy... or else.

Their argument is what the graph is actually showing is related to the fact that labour's share of US income peaked around 1970 and then began to drop, not some tautologically-defined concept of "production".

> The monetary system works by debasing wages, a secret tax that keeps you working year after year

No. The monetary system works by encouraging capital to be invested in productive uses by debasing it yearly through inflation. If inflation was 0% or negative, the incentive to risk capital is much much lower.

The political system of Western countries favouring asset owners is separate.

I don't see the jumping around here. If you're talking about the arithmetic on natural numbers, it was only an anecdote to add some personal context. I have already figured out how negative numbers work and don't need more help with that. In fact I feel pretty confident about relations too, it just happened to be the first chapter of the book, I'm sure I would have found the same problem if the first chapter had been on any other topic.

> Khan Academy

I have an account. I did a search for relations but I couldn't find an actual definition in writing, so I don't see what it adds to the discussion. I have nothing against Khan Academy, but I don't see the relevance. I'm not asking for resources, that's what the original thread is for, and it's absolutely plastered with comments about Khan Academy already. What I'm asking for is a discussion on how we structure our maths syllabi and how appropriate it is for what we are trying to accomplish.
