> I am under the impression the f-35 will never deliver what was advertised since it was a sales effort based on fantasy physics.

It will deliver, though. Because the physics don't matter nearly as much - unless you are talking about radar signature physics. Aircraft today are mobile ordnance delivery platforms. Those Top Gun air to air stunts? Unlikely to happen. Supermaneuvarability stuff doesn't matter at all if you are getting hit before you even know the enemy is there. Or you might know, because one F35 has the radar on, only to get hit from a completely different aircraft that's getting the data link.

What does matter is getting in undetected (while coordinating with your peers), delivering your payload, getting back out. Or doing recon, etc.
Unlikely tbh.

Unless the starts align the wrong way, generally the way its gonna go is first they will pull your background, and see that there is no criminal record, good credit and a tech job. So the first thing that is going to happen is that you will get a couple of FBI agents probably show up to your door and ask you questions. At which point you could sit down in front of your computer with them, pull up your accounts, and see the evidence of the transfer, all without answering questions with a chance to self incriminate.
> How do they discard confounding variables?

I don't think they do. Which is much better than correcting for variables and doing it badly.

Anecdotally, I am the only healthy person I know of in my group who voluntarily uses artificial sweetener. It seems to me that the use of artificial sweetener is strongly associated with health problems such as morbid obesity and diabetes: people who don't have to don't use them.

Regarding artificial sweetener itself being causal there is very little reliable data to support that. There does seem to be a link between Aspartame and (bladder) cancer but it has so far only been shown in animal models.

I don't think that's the most charitable possible interpretation of the argument, though I would heartily concede that the matter is heavily, and at times it seems even intetionally, obfuscated by the double meaning of the terms racial superiority/inferiority. To whit, they are used as both objective measures and moral ones, and vacillating between the two allows for specious arguments to be put forward.

An example of the first; we know that there are genetic differences in average heights of populations, and other physical measures; if a biologist were to tell me, for example, that people with lighter skin were superior at generating Vitamin D from sunlight, I would not be inclined to disbelieve them; there is strong evidence for heritability of traits as fine-grained as political leanings; and so on. Saying that a race has a superior economic position due to these factors is, as far as I can tell, usually insufficient - the differences are minor enough, and usually overshadowed by other factors like noise or culture, that I don't think the math adds up.

But there's also a moral judgement made in the racial superiority argument; that because Race A has higher incidence of traits X, Y, and Z, they deserve a higher place in society/greater wealth/whatever. This is a racist outlook because it prejudges people based on their race rather than their merits, and paints an entire race of individuals with the same brush. Still, this is the argument that many avowed racists have made in the past and many in the present are quite sensitive to it.

The difference is subtle but important; the first meaning acknowledges distinctions between races and ethnicities, but allows for individual variation and places no moral weight on those differences. The second implies that acknowledging differences between races is tantamount to declaring that one race deserves supremacy and obeisance from the others. The difficulty comes from people who believe the implication of the second meaning while hating the conclusion, and that's where you get Blank Slaters and, as you mentioned, Lysenkoism.

Arguing for the first meaning is not productive without disambiguating it from the second.

> You don't have to be a homeowner to have a right against people invading your home.

"Your home", as in: a home you have ownership rights to. You may only be renting those rights for a limited time, but your right not to have your home invaded is still grounded in the rights of ownership you hold in the home.

There are no "rights related to privacy or control" without ownership.

> Personal ownership of computing devices is not necessarily what the term 'private property' refers to.

"In some economic systems, such as capitalism, private and personal property are considered to be exactly equivalent." — Your Wikipedia link

So in the systems which matter there is no difference. Only broken economic systems such as socialism, Marxism, and left-anarchism attempt to draw a distinction between personal and private property. Personal property is just that part of private property that those in power (whether a lone dictator or an egalitarian collective) doesn't consider useful or significant enough to be worth taking for itself.

What's the point of using open source build of VScode with all the proprietary Microsoft stuff removed just to later install the same the binary blobs manually? If you are fine with that might as well run the official Microsoft VSCode build the normal way.

Having some of the telemetry removed in VSCodium doesn't automatically remove it from the microsoft extensions. Taking into account that the official way for disabling telemetry in microsoft extensions depend on the telemetry setting in VSCode itself, having unsupported(and forbidden by microsoft license terms) combination of extension with vscodium seems like higher chance of disabling mechanism partially failing.

As for PlatformIO, luckily at least the project compilation and toolchain setup (which is the most important part of PlatformIO) can be done with commandline tool independently of any editor extension.

No one has disagreed with it, I explicitly agreed with you on the existence of Fermi velocity. I don't have the ability to downvote, but you were downvoted because you mentioned the fermi velocity in contradiction to electron flow even though it is the drift velocity that is pertinent in the original context of electricity (which requires a non-net zero velocity).
From what I can tell, gas stove bans would really just be a side effect of the broader measure, which is requiring homes to be "emission free". The measure seems to be more directly about heating/water/etc... Which makes me wonder if it might not just make sense to add some exclusions for some specific appliances for places like restaurants. I don't know the numbers, but I doubt that stoves in specific are the highest carbon emitters, even in restaurants. But I could very well be wrong.

Ignoring the environmental debate, purely for your own benefit I see light-to-medium-confidence evidence that gas stoves should be avoided just because they decrease the quality of air inside your home while you're cooking.

It's not something I'm willing to make a strong claim about, but if I was buying a house or redoing a kitchen I personally would not put in a gas stove, and if I was renting I would avoid an apartment that has one.

Again, I'm not going to make a strong claim increased particulate count during cooking is even something that's worth worrying about in the first place, but I do think the evidence is strong enough to at least warrant additional attention, and assuming that it turns out that gas stoves really do significantly lower air quality nearby during use, I could see a somewhat reasonable argument to be made that they shouldn't be allowed in newly constructed homes just on that basis, or at least a requirement that there be better ventilation attached to them than often currently is.

For a wok, you need an actual electric wok, a special induction stove for woks [0] (of course this is a thing!), or gas.

On the flip side, if you have a mediocre pan with a thick base but thin walls, an induction stove won’t heat the walls the way a gas stove would, which will reduce burning.

I do not know if coffee habits in the UK have changed in the past 25 years since I lived there, and I fully expect that they have with the rise of Starbucks and other "gourmet" coffee chains, but a lot of UK coffee consumption was instant coffee granules, at least during the 1980's and 1990's. That would be an interesting piece of data to observe, what kind of coffee were these people drinking? Instant? Ground? Pods?

Okay, now how much carbon does the entire gas infrastructure used to pipe that gas around emit, and the gas used to heat homes? Because as long as people are going to specifically demand gas stoves, all that infrastructure still has to exist, and gas heating is going to be attractive because the gas hookup is already there.

The fossil fuel industry specifically uses gas stoves as a gateway to push people towards using more gas (see the old “cooking with gas” campaign for example). This is about countering that messaging.

(And besides, we know more about the health impacts of gas stove use now too; there are more direct health reasons you’d want to avoid them in addition to the climate impacts.)

The problem at the root cause is the public's (reasonable!) expectations about safety. Humanity has experienced twice just how much damage a nuclear reactor blowing up can cause, not to mention how brittle they are and how lax people treat safety - just look at how many accidents happened at Sellafield - or the terrorism risk. Many of the experimental design ideas add the question of nuclear weapons proliferation on top.

Accounting for all these risks takes up serious amounts of money, enough to make the construction of a new plant so expensive it literally cannot ever turn a profit against incredibly cheap solar energy and ever-cheaper battery or molten-salt storage.

One might even say that nuclear energy was never profitable because the only way it appeared to be cheap was that the general public took up an extremely risky bet that the reactors would not go boom and because the costs for teardown and storage were never really accounted for.

I guess the difference is whether the bacteria die and produce endotoxins on your HEPA filter which is circulating air though your house, or if the bacteria die in your carpet or on your countertop where it is more likely to be cleaned in the next 6 months and less likely to be recirculated as breathing air.

Regardless, I agree with you. If the filter prevents you from breathing X% bacteria and y% of bacteria produce endotoxins then your choices are

-Breathe in that extra x% bacteria and have them produce xy endotoxins directly in your lungs

-Kill the bacteria but breather in their xy endotoxins that are dispersed in the air.

Why? What's the worst thing that could happen from poor quality input? Unreliable scores? These reviews don't mean or do anything in the real world, and it's much less serious than an actual IA complaint. There's also no evidence that there would be enough poor quality inputs to make a meaningful impact on scores.

Even if that had been the only example rather than just one among them, it would still demonstrate the claim that an AI can discover various laws of physics just from observing data.

I always wonder about these evolutionary arguments where such and such a feature is discovered in a group of primordial precursor life forms so therefore that's when it originated.

Just to be contrary, is it not at all possible that such and such a feature "evolved" in all the relevant life forms at the same (more recent) time in response to changing external stimuli?

I remember being edified by an evolutionary biologist who stated that humans are not more "evolved" than single-celled organisms - both have been evolving for the same period of time. Both have just evolved into different niches at different levels of complexity. I hope I'm getting that right.
Excuse my ignorance but my small experience in Rust convinced me that the language actually promotes functional programming (you get bizarre errors when trying golang or c++ style of programming).

Sometimes I get the feeling that the interview questions are (consciously or unconsciously) optimized to find people who know when to lie (and lie convincingly) to inquisitor types.

Surprise, your boss' boss just decided to drop in and is asking your new guy some pointed questions about the deadline. ~Tada~, the IRS is sending someone over who wants to interview a few people. Oops, that lawyer that your clients hired are going around and subpoenaing previous employees.

So ideally, the most interesting bug story response would be a story about how awesome you are at finding bugs that are introduced by other organizations than the one you were working in AND make the listener like you.

* Look this candidate can fix bugs.
* Look this candidate knows not to talk about the dirty secrets of the org they are (were) a part of. And is able to defect blame to another entity.
* Look this candidate makes questioners like them which will hopefully keep too much scrutiny from being applied to them.
