Yes, but their deaths pay for a global hegemony, a friendly trade climate, and access to other countries' natural resources.

Also, you're forgetting all the money that flows directly back into your states, through infrastructure spending, federal services, federal share of funding state services, etc. (Which is a convoluted way of moving money from 'have' states into 'have-not' states.)
I am not sure if I am cynical or humble here, but my question is "Why would anyone care?".

First, the company is hiring an engineer, not a CTO or a head of marketing. Why would they consider my input valid? Even in my field of expertise I have no idea of the size of markets or of the big players strategy there. Trying to keep afloat of the tech is hard enough.

Second, if interviewing as an employee and not a business associate, you don't really care if the company becomes the next Facebook or, as is likely, goes into oblivion in 5 years. Know your incentives: if you don't have stock, you don't care about the company's success. Want employees that care? Give them incentives.

Third, half of the founders I have met have inflated egos, delusions and/or personality issues. Never trust one who says they welcome honest feedback, especially during interviews. There is nothing in for you to gain and everything to lose.

"These questions are direct, but a company that reacts badly to them may not be a good place to work." Disagree. A company with a non workable business plan can be a fantastic place to work in as the investor money burns through the various vanity project of middle managers. There are a lot much more relevant red flags to look out to anticipate a toxic workplace.

In general, only give feedback when explicitly asked for it or once you understand the inner power dynamics of the place.

Here is a life expectancy breakdown by state with comparison to other countries. Interestingly Hispanics have higher life expectancy than whites.

Silence, peasant! Silicon Valley and Washington D.C. can run your life better than you can.
I think we should provide every US legal resident with affordable access to health care, but the lack of it doesn't significantly impact life expectancy at the aggregate population level. Only about 10% lack medical insurance. Other factors like obesity, substance abuse, lack of exercise, and preventable trauma are far bigger factors pushing down national life expectancy.
The rich areas of the US do have high life expectancy. New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, etc. But there are a lot of very poor regions too that drag the average down. For a european equivalent, take western europe and group it with eastern europe and that's basically the United States. But you can absolutely compare Switzerland with New Jersey (Switzerland is twice as big, but the populations are shockingly almost the same).

These articles always tend to focus on small and/or homogenous countries. Comparing the US to many of these countries (Japan, Iceland, Israel, Finland) is comparing apples and oranges.

A better example is Brazil, which is very diverse, like the US, with people from different cultures all over the world, and also large geographically and in terms of population. Like the US, Brazil has high wealth inequality, high homicide rates, low social cohesion, etc.

These kinds of countries have to find new solutions. Sao Paulo or New York is not going to become Tokyo overnight -- they're just fundamentally different.
I know there is a growing movement of people who are doubling up on remote jobs, trying to work two of them (or more!) at the same time to hack the income game. Surely some of these people are using deepfakes to help avoid detection that they are doing those things.
At least the same amount of energy is required to "un-burn" CO2 as is released burning it up in the first place.

Even if you do it cheaply with solar energy, the energy might be better used directly.
The authors likely didn't analyze it. It gives a value in eV, that can be extrapolated outwards though I am not exactly sure how. It would also depend on how you implement the process. However, the paper does mention the reactor is at 21 bar and 300-500C, to give you ballpark requirements for any implementation.

This likely isn't a viable CO2 reduction method. It would be if there was a massive overbuildout of green energy collection. A more likely use is a green way to make a portable power source.

It's possible to produce gasoline from CO2+extra+H and extreme heat and pressure. This seems more achievable. Such designs were, I think, using nuclear heat almost directly.

Who's experimenting with Iron Fertilization?

I was thinking of doing a Kickstarter and renting out a boat but I got told in no uncertain words not to do it by some scientists who contribute to those IPCC reports.

These days the research is more in this direction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termination_Shock_(novel)

but the short path to that is to spend about $1B developing a new airplane to inject SO2 into the stratosphere because no off-the-shelf airplane flies high enough. That's a little out of reach for a Kickstarter.

It's not a dumb question, but it's so broad that it would take at least an entire textbook to fully answer it.

Just off the top of my head, some possibilities are:

* More cores

* More numerous/powerful execution units that can do e.g. vectorized math

* Architectural features such as virtualization and security defenses

* Bigger and more flexible caches

* Complex pipelining/out-of-order/speculation logic that allows more instructions to be executed (on average) per clock cycle

* Special-purpose functional units that dramatically accelerate particular applications (e.g. AES encryption, video encoding/decoding) and are idle the rest of the time

* Replacing "deep" networks of logic gates with equivalent "wider" ones, which occupy more die area but have a shorter critical path, enabling faster clock speeds
I just had this unfortunate experience with Google. The interviewer presented some badly-defined vague problem statement, and started asking probing questions about implementation details right away. I'm trying to ask exactly what the problem is, and he's there asking me for the runtime complexity of the solution I'm proposing. Was this dude entirely checked out? It felt like I was talking to a wall.

We all know in the us. Lack of universal affordable health care for all, a social safety network that treats people with illness, loss of income, life challenges, etc. Plenty of people see the lack of these things are great things about America.
How do we know that this is the case?
Yeah definitely. I've been giving feedback about this for around 2 years and there's some movement, but there doesn't seem to be anyone at the company driving architectural decisions, so nothing really seems to be going anywhere.
My point was the messaging from the various "authorities" in the US. They only pushed vaccines, they never said that it's time to focus on your weight and exercise.

It's foolish to compare statistics about all Americans to small homogenous countries like Norway or Japan, as though the difference comes from policy.

The people are completely different.

How do the outcomes of Norwegians compare to those of Norwegian-Americans? How do the outcomes of Japanese compare to those of Japanese-Americans? Here we can start seeing the effects of policy.
You could probably grow a farm of deep fakes on some social media site, talking to each other about peculiar niche things using language models, and once that farm is big enough use it to shift opinions/attack. It's scary how small groups of people, or even an individual could do that.
Multiple CPUs, Pipelining, multithreading, onboard graphics, Apple's efficiency and machine learning cores... and multiple CPU cores, as well. The code demonstrated in these examples is essentially executed as a single thread in a single core. Modern CPUs are faster not only because of faster clock speeds, but more CPU cores and peripheral stuff, like cache memory and more, on each chip. Packing the transistors closer together means there's less distance to travel between, for example, the CPU and the arithmetic logic unit, or between the CPU and the on-board cache memory.

And I'm sure I've barely scratched the surface.

I’ve seen all kinds of awful README.md files because people are trying to shoehorn stuff into Markdown that doesn’t fit.

The problem with Markdown is that it isn’t simple; rather, it’s simplistic, and quite a few things that should be simple instead require terrible hacks to work around Markdown and use HTML.

reStructuredText is generally quite a bit better in this regard because it focuses on expressing semantics.
Perhaps it's because of an obsessive love of games with an economic element, but I'm rather comfortable doing things like taking a paycut if I feel it's the right move. If anything I have an irrational bias towards such manoeuvres and feel I'm a bit "Greedy" valuing money tomorrow so much over money today. It's more exciting to gamble for the big bucks than to go for the boring stable route.

Here's the issue with the strategy. If you can live off half your salary, why do you need 100x your salary? To buy a solid gold ass scratcher? In your current role you can likely expect your salary to increase anyways, lets say another 50%, so why suffer through living off half your salary into a potential recession?

Additionally, how many opportunities are there genuinely to halve your salary and learn 10x to earn 100x? The job market is competitive, it's not like there's many oppertunities to make 100x your salary just laying around, somebody is going to jump on it.

For a multiorg approach, you probably want isolated DBs anyways.

Within a single org, multiuser approach, there are 2 big problems that I remember with attempting to shoehorn DB auth into application auth:

* assuming you use a connection pool, you might run out of TCP connections/ports if you need to handle too much stuff;

say for example that your load balancer need 3 application nodes behind it - you will need 2 (connections per user) x 3 (application nodes) connections just to handle a user - 6 connections/user. That will eat your database connection limit very fast, for no good reason.

* assuming you don't use a connection pool, you now have horrible latency on every connection (bad) and need to handle plain text passwords (assuming you use scram-sha-256), or md5 non-replay-resistant hashes of user passwords in, either sent in every client request, or in a shared session system. No matter what you pick, you have a security disaster in the making (very bad).
It's a bit more involved than that.

mul rcx, rax ; multiply our result by our base, save into rcx

This should probably be using rbx, since that's the designated base, not rax, which is the exponent.

In the explanation just above, there's a 2*8 step missing, while this one is incorrect:

4. result = 16 * 2, result is now 16

Since 2*16 is not 16.

We spend so much on the military exactly so we don't have to send young Americans in to meat grinders.

How many Americans have been killed in the past 20 years during military operations? Approximately 10,000. If that's all the young American deaths we get for trillions of dollars in spending, that is not a great bang for your buck at all. Hell, more than twice that amount died in one day on September 17, 1862.
> Congress hauled the big oil company CEOs in just a few months ago and berated them for daring to make a profit.

And what did it achieve? Gas is still at obscenely priced levels at the same time that businesses are forcing people back into the office.

Hence my view that it's theater more than it is a viable measure in which congress has the ability to force executives to be held accountable for their actions that compromise the national security of a nation, at a time that it is reeling from COVID and fighting a proxy war with Russia! For God's sake they were making baseball players show up to discuss steroid use, if this isn't the definition of banality then I don't know what is.

This isn't about merely about making a profit, the US exports just as much oil/gas as it imports after all, it's about how favorable ties with congress/senate can be seen as things that allowed for things to go back to business as usual after a pathetic display in which no one is held accountable for what will be a reason why the US is/will go into a recession. The same thing happens in bank hearings: I fully expect their to be a similar hearing as Russia defaults on it's debt repayment after JPM and GS bought tons of Russian debt and will need a bailout, but promise to do a better job in the future.

In all honesty, this is a huge one.

Having gone around Europe a couple weeks ago, I noticed store and restaurant staff would greet some people in English and some in the local language, very rarely seeming to use the wrong language. Sitting on one particularly busy restaurant street, the pattern suddenly became obvious to me: people over a certain weight were always greeted in English. People who were middle aged and not obese were always greeted in the local language.

As an American myself, weights I’ve grown accustomed to as “normal” really are inconceivably big by world standards. It made me realize that even though obesity rates may be high around the world, the amount of weight by which they’re obese are completely different leagues.

> Comparing the US average life expectancy to the average of other rich countries is tricky because the US population is so much bigger and more diverse

I read this argument a lot, in various formulations.

The truth is that the the US State with the higher life expectancy is Hawaii [1] at 82.3 years, comparable to New Zealand, that ranks 19th (or 16th depending on the year taken in consideration 2021 [2] or 2022 [3]) in the list of countries by life expectancy.

The 4th State in the list, Minnesota, is already out of the first 30.

That's why on average US score pretty badly, even worse than some undeveloped countries.

Can you elaborate on how you see cultural diversity causing lowered life expectancy?

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but the nature/mechanism of any causal connection isn’t obvious on its face. Do you have something specific in mind?
> How many of the units are earmarked for 'affordable' housing

This one is called IZ (inclusive zoning) and is an extremely popular weapon with SF and Portland "left-NIMBYs". They know if the number is set too high, it will both make them look good and cancel literally every housing project in the pipeline (as noone can afford to build it anymore), so set it too high they have, and so their project pipeline collapsed.

When it's used at low levels it can work, but only if you accept that it fundamentally makes the project more expensive, which means the more "luxury" projects are more likely to survive, and means the cost of the market-rate units goes up.

I've been thinking about that a lot lately. I have a medium-sized e-commerce. We sell hyper-customized products and, to be honest, the site's overall performance is not good. But when I looked into other stores in the same niche as ours, who are making a lot more money than us, I saw that their performance wasn't better than ours. I don't think people shop impulsively in our store because they have to customize the product and then make sure the customization is correct (it's a pretty complex customization). I believe that because the journey to checkout is so long and requires so much attention, the customers just don't give up due to high latency or slow responsiveness overall.
Human nature; if you have a problem there is a linear scale of effort:
