They probably filter foreign SIMs so you won't have an issue but people with local SIMs do need to pay a one time fee for phones you bring from abroad. (not for the ones you can buy here)

I've heard some people clone IMEIs from the old phone when getting a new phone from abroad and that it does reduce the cost significantly.
I do indeed mean bad as in "left money on the table" - or possibly "pissed off their fanbase" which tends to lead to reduced revenue and loss of respect. The former they don't see to care about as much as the latter.

I probably should have used a word like poor instead of bad.

None, there's no reason to follow the news. You're better off reading history books if you want to understand geopolitics / finance / whatever.
I can’t remember the exact blog post or video that drew me in, but Felipe Hoffa has written/recorded many excellent examples of using BigQuery which use one of their public datasets. I was very impressed when I first played around with it on the free tier back in 2015. The pricing seemed really reasonable and I was amazed with how quick it was on large datasets.

An example article:

> Imagine after that first nap as a typical American, you had taken a second one in 1940, waking up in the 2020s. Your fridge now has a freezer, and your new microwave lets you reheat your leftovers.

What? Fridges had freezers in the 1940's. Usually as a small compartment, wrapped by the refrigerant evaporator ducts.

Residential microwave ovens rapidly increased in popularity in the USA in the 1970's and were common by the 1980's.

If you woke up in 1950-something, your freezer might have had a timed heating coil in it: a defroster.

If you woke up a bit later, it might have a magnetic door: because children were found to be suffocating in the externally latched fridges that couldn't be opened from the inside.
Just discovered the Vale programming language for the first time thanks to your link - looks pretty interesting. I’ve been meaning to learn a new language that is (a) simple (or if not simple, at least elegant enough to make the lack of simplicity worthwhile) (b) type-safe & performant. I was between Nim & Zig but might need to give Vale a shot.
Desert-like land is terrible for solar panels because the solar panels get too hot (and lose efficiency).

The big, successful desert solar power projects I've seen are giant arrays of mirrors using some kind of weird heat engine, rather than PV-cells.

Cheap, widespread desert solar power would be good to figure out, but with regards to PV-cells, desert environments look like a no-go.
Yes grampa, the disadvantaged kid who never got a chance to learn a "skilled job" should just pull himself by the bootstraps, show up, give the manager a firm handshake. Yawn.
This is exactly correct. It absolutely lines up with his stance that everything he does or wants to do is fine and probably good, and that people that are not him should suffer consequences.
>As a result of GMOs the carrying capacity of the world increased. Isn’t it the case that the population tends toward the carrying capacity?

This model assumes that human population will grow forever. Carrying capacity is one constraint on total population, but it's not the only constraint. Nowadays population growth is slowing down because demographic factors (ie. falling fertility), not because we've reached the earth's carrying capacity and famines are killing people off.
Seems like in an ideal world political parties would be the "institutions of intellectual or moral credibility that tell people directly how to vote". Of course, in the current United States that doesn't work because there is a practical limit of 2 major parties, and neither are really bastions of intellectual or moral credibility.

I'm not super well-versed in non-US politics, so I wonder if there is any democracy where parties actually work in that ideal way?
+1. Totally agree. Nowhere in the article does anyone seem "surprised". If you are going to project a response on the scientists it would probably be relief or concern.
There's a whole undiscovered country of writing software that is both mathematically sound and intuitively sound. I had a long list of hopes and dreams in the late 90's of what I'd hoped software would be by now. I got about half of my wishes, and some of them were weird for me because I went from bitter struggles to get even lip service to some of those things, to two jobs later having them taken for granted. It's weird to brace for push back and then have people nod and change the subject.

This is one of the wishes I have for 2040, that we continue to prove the ergonomics of type theory and escape analysis, and that having succeeded there, we start normalizing other domains of provably correct code. If you can do that for SAT solvers, maybe we'll start writing other kinds of AI in such a manner.

It's telling that Musk's defenders have to stand up a hyperbolic caricature of the employee letter ("incoherent yelling at a wedding" in this case), rather than engage with what actually happened. This shows me that it's clear, even to his defenders, that firing employees for a letter criticizing Elon is an obvious contradiction to the spirit of his free speech moralizing, despite him being within his rights to fire them.
Why do Linux heads this needless containerization thing to themselves? There are zero new desktop apps coming; those in use are F/OSS and have been thoroughly reviewed for like 20 years. What's the threat? At best, it disturbs user file-based workflows and puts additional work onto developers who are few and far between anyway. Distros have worked well for a long time - much better than Win or Mac sw updates. If you want to compile your own app, it's well supported. We don't have a rush of new unstable must-have libs to compile against all of a sudden.
contextualizing a point is just as legitimate as responding to it directly and this particular comment is relevant

perhaps some people will always grow complacent but you could just as easily make an essentialist argument about the corporation: maybe some employers will always abuse their employees, certainly some deliberately make it difficult to distinguish worker complacency from legitimate complaint, which bears directly on the original claim about human nature
Several takedowns of your nonsense were made in good faith. You're being foolish at this point.
Here's a paper and a thesis, both fairly recent, that I found useful and relevant. There's a whole rich field of network and statistical theory as applied to human social behavior if you want to explore quantitative methods, but that tends to have a very top-down perspective and involve a lot of abstraction. Hope this is helpful.

I can distinguish the news articles from the op-ed ones. The news articles were horribly slanted. Just their choice of words for the headline made it glaringly obvious that their news articles were opinion pieces. They didn't even try.

I know the WSJ is biased, too. But their headlines tend to be neutral.
Well, yea, what else can you do with violent murderers and the like? Or POWs?
The far left in the US is materially different than the classical understanding of the far left. The far left in the US is now primarily concerned with pushing the goals of Critial Theory (a cultural neo-Marxist ideology, to oversimplify) as supposed to the goals of traditional big S Socialist or Marxist economics and workers party goals. This slow dialectical evolution of the left in the US has led to a lot of confusion regarding how it can be possible for people to be arguing the left in the US is not just extreme but increasingly radicalized when it rejected democratic socialist Bernie Sanders. It's because the revolutionary tilt of the left has moved away from overturning economic class and systems of capitalism through labor organization, at least as the primary lever to push on.
> As a drawback, the system really favors those who own over those who work. Even in places like the Silicon Valley, how much of the wealth goes to those who innovate and how much goes to those who fund the innovations? And how much goes to local property owners who just happened to be in the right place at the right time?

The crucial paragraph.
I wouldn't really consider prison labor "voluntary."

Yes, technically one could choose solitary confinement, loss of even what few privileges one has as an inmate, or never be allowed to see one's family again, but that's like putting a gun to someone's head and claiming they "voluntarily" signed a contract because they could just as well have chosen to have their brains splattered across the wall.

Plus, it is explicitly a continuation of slavery per the Thirteenth Amendment.
Nobody who has an actual opinion will sound neutral, unless they're actively trying to mislead you.

Everybody who is actually an expert will have an opinion.

Therefore almost anything that "reads like a neutral analysis" will be worthless drivel. If you want such drivel, it's available in unlimited quantities from various press outlets. Of course, they're not "neutral", either, but they buy their biases wholesale rather than actually doing that whole tedious "understand the issue" thing.

And some opinions are right, while other opinions are wrong. Reality is not "neutral".
Having worked on a machine learning time series document search solution for the last 2 years, I know exactly why the cost of this is so high. Running logs through a model must be VERY expensive.

I had a good friend at Splunk who passed a few years ago. He was working on something similar, well before we had decent models. His anomaly detection used differences in regular expression patterns to detect "strange things". I guess that's why he carried the title "Chief Mind".

I'm excited where ML and time series data is going. It's going to be interesting!

> There is a reason they put nuclear reactors into submarines and aircraft carriers and space probes.

The first two have ready access to infinite amounts of coolant, which is absolutely not the situation "everywhere", and the last one actually never delivered more power than solar panels due to very inferior power/weight ratio of all space-based nuclear reactors produced to this date -- the most widespread space-based reactor BES-5 generated something like 7-8 W/kg.
> There's evidence supporting the idea that COVID relief contributed to inflation

The way inflation is being used here is not what it has traditionally meant. Inflation, ie, too much total liquid cash, accompanied by super high prices for labor (and therefore goods) started secretly and dramatically a very long time ago. It's debated if it's the 60s, or some people say as far back as pre or post great depression. That runaway inflation is an old story and has become the norm.

The current definition of inflation is "whether the working class has enough money to feel secure." Which is something the market hates with a passion. The market wants all the money in the hands of the rich, so it can be in the market. The market wants cheap labor and an immobile workforce.

The market ALREADY thought that the workforce had too much money BEFORE COVID. So they were absolutely appalled at the idea of a stimulus. So what you are seeing described as inflation is really that. Cost of goods are up because of price gauging barrels of oil, which is intentional.

The measures taken to "reduce inflation" are actually to get money out of the workforce and back into the market.

If you want to look at inflation, look at how much money is being held by the 1%.

The point is that the role wasn’t tantalizing enough to justify taking off a day from my existing job and going through Amazon’s interview gauntlet. The other job I was interviewing for had a much more reasonable interview structure, no whiteboard bullshit, no live coding, no 4 hour sessions. I think it says a lot about the company and how they value prospective employees’ time.
Considering how simple-minded and toxic work-cancer employees are, and how harmful and corrupt a union can be; it is no surprise that Musk is 3 steps ahead of them.
Building was paused for about a year (Covid and lumber prices), so there are a ton of new builds that didn't happen or got delayed. New Construction was already barely keeping up or falling behind pre-pandemic. Covid also caused a massive swing in what was desirable housing, small city apartments are a lot less attractive when lockdowns were possible so demand moved to places that weren't prepared for it.
We started receiving the Sunday paper from one of the local papers around here. We all checked our accounts and none of us had been charged. We didn't get mail, email, or anything else from this paper. Originally I thought it must have been someone else's newspaper, so I just left it out there to see if anyone came asking and also asked a couple neighbors, but nothing. Figured whoever it was would call the paper and complain, but this went on for about 12 Sundays and ended up resolving itself somehow (maybe the subscription lapsed?). Just ended up throwing them in the recycling as a matter of course.

There was no way in hell I was going to bother with a call to the newspaper. They'd be confused for the first half of the conversation, then even if they figured it out, they'd spend the second half trying to sell me a subscription, like I wasn't already getting it for free.
Garbage in, garbage out. Everybody wants a pill or supplement rather than adopting healthy eating habits.

My "chronic" acid reflux disappeared by simply doing what I already knew I should be doing: Eat fruits and vegetables. Fish > chicken > beef > pork. Don't buy snacks or sugary drinks. You aren't hungry, you're bored.

I wish doctors would treat the whole person rather than prescribing a pill. I wish my doctor told me to do these things before prescribing me omeprazole when I had an issue.
This take is so common and so bizarre. SpaceX employees are there because Musk pays them to be there. If they weren't there, Musk would pay someone else. The employees aren't irreplaceable or in a position of power over Musk and trying to spin it like they are is absurd.

I run a 46 panel array on my rooftop at my home in Florida. On a good day it generates around 80 kWh. On a cloudy day, 35-45 kWh. On stormy days it generates about 15 kWh. It cost me $40,000. At night, it generates no power, but needs a 20amp AC connection for the controller and 60 amps for the micro inverters.

I save about $50-80 a month on my electric bill. Solar in its current incarnation is not ready to power the world, it destroys the biome in which the panels are deployed, costs an awful lot to fabricate....

I am more interested in personal nuclear energy or recycled nuclear energy production. Solar is a distraction that when you start asking the right questions, feels more like gas-lighting than a solution to renewable sources of energy.
So what?

Besides, driving a car safely is very much a skill. It's life-saving by definition.
> Alternatively, literally every white woman I know has told me they find the pressure to appear presentable, to look in a certain way, oppressive and stressful.

Yes, it is oppressive and stressful, but the stakes are dramatically different, and so is the reason -- intrasexual competition.

In case of covering your face for religious reasons, the penalty for disobeying, in worst case, is death. Specifically, a murder, usually by your relatives, for reasons that are typically translated to English as "honor", although the meaning clearly is not the same.

A white woman who refuses to use make-up, will miss some opportunities in her life. Another woman will take the partner she wanted, or the promotion she deserved. She may get bullied by other women, especially at high school. Those all are impacts that reduce her quality of life.

But how is it related to domestic violence? I have never heard a serious suggestion that the real cause of domestic violence is lack of being presentable.

Similarly, what are the public spaces that exclude insufficiently presentable white women: streets? parks? cinemas? universities? trains? Okay, I am sure there are some parties where only the pretty girls are invited, but those probably exclude most men, too.

Anyway, I think that "you may be skipped for a promotion" and "someone quite likely will slit your throat" are not the same category of threat. Both can feel oppressive and stressful, but I am sure way more women would trade their problems in one direction than in the other.

I don't think things are much different than they were, say, 100 years ago. Back then there was a dearth of information, so you needed representatives, or parties, to vote in your interest when you had to do other things.

Now we have a glut of information, but the problem is the same - there are so many topics, it's hard to prioritize and determine what is necessary or important.

Look at our government. We have committees, and experts brought to those committees to help them draft law. Instead of trying to be an expert in everything, we should focus on what we want to be experts in, moving forward in these areas and trusting those working in other areas to do what's best. There is no other realistic path.
How to make sense of ancient Greek colours (2020)
I can't believe I have to say this, but the hypocrisy comes from the fact that Elon, and many others, believe (or in Elon's case, purports to believe) that private entities should not moderate their own products, and instead guarantee an audience for people[0]. They don't. That's not what censorship is.

[0] Now Elon has recently said in that video call to Twitter employees that free speech doesn't mean a right to an audience, but it's hard to square that statement with his previous statements.
The entire comic is predicated on a meme coming out rioting at UC Berkeley when Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak on campus

It is a reference to a tweet from writer Mike Monteiro, who declared “It’s ok to punch nazis AND white male libertarians who wanna talk about free speech.”

It is not about literal German Nazis, It is about attributing the title of Nazi to US conservatives and validating physical violence.
My understanding is the same and I believe it's pretty obvious why they always seem to be that way. It takes a tremendous amount of self-confidence to push through "the system" in any meaningful way and that often comes off as assholish. It also causes them to behave the same in every aspect of their life. They don't compartmentalize being an asshole in business, but they're a Mr. Rogers for everything else.

That kind of confidence is pervasive in every aspect of their being. They don't have room for doubt.

Reading about wartime generals solidified the thought in me. Many generals like Patton weren't even very gifted strategically, but they were confident and authoritative in their decisions. Oftentimes, that's enough to pull off a victory.
If the average type of paper deviates over time, it doesn't matter whether the average number of citations is low - the type (direction) of research that gets cited shifts as well, and ultimately the direction of all research done shifts.
I see a typo.

You do not get to choose when a writer uses a contraction. You might expect that I'd have used "don't" there, but the simple truth is people use the full words even conversationally sometimes. This is especially true when they want to emphasize the "not" part of a phrase like "will not", "would not", or "do not". Your suggested edit changes the meaning of the parent post a shade.

Where's the mixed metaphor? You may be able to sell me on "weird gate to keep" being a trite metaphor or perhaps even an awkward metaphor. What's mixed about gatekeeping, which seems to be a single common metaphor?

If this is the quality of editing the tool offers, one may wish to stick with spellcheck. Encouraging a particular organization's writing style within that organization can have some nice effects, but you don't get to determine everyone else's writing style.

And given how big % of fuel is needed for ascending to cruise height, I'd imagine you could have a decent % of the fuel in take-off tanks with thin walls, since those tanks only need to contain the fuel for less than 10 minutes anyway.

I could imagine future planes using hydrogen for take-off and batteries for cruising.
