No, in a closed timeline curve, the closed portion means "You can arrive where you started, eventually, if you turn around or whatever." The timelike means that you have, effectively, gone into the past.

EDIT:

I grabbed a few screenshots from Google Earth to show examples of rock structures found around Khaybar, Saudi Arabia. [3] It looks like the article is correct in that there are many ancient rock structures around Khaybar. I didn't find any of the ones from the articles above but it is apparent that the local people built these from rock that was within a few meters of the structure since you can easily see on many of them that the immediate vicinity is free of rock. The keyhole features are very common. Their orientations appear to be random.

Ethereum "classic" is still around for the "code is law" diehards. I'd expect most of the people who are fine with the current ETH hard-fork chain will probably be fine with the merge.

It'd be interesting if we did end up with three live chains though, probably not sustainable.
Semiconductor space is due for a productivity overhaul. Unfortunately management in the space is quite conservative. Without the productivity improvement pay and work hours cannot keep up with software.

Also, in semiconductors prices are expected to go down every year. When you launch a new product, customers will ask for price reduction plan. So any efficiencies gained do not go to the bottom line of the supplier.

> x86-64 system with four gigabit ethernet ports

Do you have any suggestions / personal experience with systems like this? I'm really concerned about getting something that isn't powerful enough to process stuff at gigabit+ rates, and most of the "routers" I've seen get pricey to do that.
I find Perl most valuable for regex from the console but everything else is python.
I was in S Fla then as a boy/teen and it was crazy how many weekend computer expos/shows there were in Miami / Fort Lauderdale (usually in a city or county convention center or some hotel)—- most of them advertised in Computer Shopper. I went to a bunch of them with my dad. They were really a lot of fun. Mostly just a bunch of tables of middle-aged to older computer guys selling peripherals and software (and I’m sure lots of other stuff I can’t remember now)..
I'm curious, do you find that you can be dead serious at other times, for example in comparing yourself against others, or achieving personal goals when you're the underdog?

One of the common patterns behind this kind of behavior is a general swing between those two points: A (serious) and B (trickster archetype), throughout the day.

If this seems to apply at all, you should immediately build in a relief-psychology routine for yourself. At intervals you should schedule in and watch funny Youtube comedy sketches, listen to favorite humorous podcasts, write funny lyrics about people who drive you crazy, listen to loud and annoying music, or whatever. This should effectively soak up some of the excess prior to boring meetings.

When things are dry and boring and you're in the thick of it, take a page out of Bill Clinton's book (and other doodlers) and draw some funny stuff on the side.

And you're right to focus on this. There are people who will naturally seem less-important to you who appreciate it if the levity can be kept to a minimum. They may even raise the diplomacy voice inappropriately or less-authentically themselves, which can drive funny people out of their minds with irony.

Anyway what I'd not want to do is be on those individuals' target list, because the diplomatic fixes to things like too much joking around often happen behind the scenes. That's where diplomatic people do their own embarrassing trickster stuff, contrary to your naturally direct style.

So it's a good idea to work at avoiding the worst outcomes, even if the best outcomes may seem out of reach for now.

In the meantime...if you feel like you're faking any of this, that's probably not going to help either. So be sure to look at your career and life and make sure you're making whatever changes are needed so you can keep it real, make jokes when appropriate, and avoid anything embarrassing, by finding yourself in an environment that's a naturally good fit for you.

It may also help to study: Acting, team personality dynamics, character analysis, sales & management skills. A goal would be to deeply understand the others, be able to see through their perspectives, and lift yourself out of your focus on your own, subjective perspectives on what's going on around you. If you can help others out by understanding them, they will probably want to like you AND find a way to appreciate your humor.

Good luck and I hope this can help a bit.
Why don't you read the paper and address its evidence and logic instead of ignoring it entirely for an ad-hominem attack on the authors?

Ad-hominem attacks are worthless on any politically-contentious issue, because of course people are going to be trying to destroy the reputation of scientists who present data that opposes a political narrative.

> Are we going to ban Afghani women from driving in the US because US women can't drive there

If they don’t have a valid international drivers license (presumed because they don’t drive at home) then literally yes we do de facto ban them.

But it’s not about giving the people less rights at home it’s demanding they give us as much rights as we give them. The framing is backwards. Why do we honor their license (for men or women) if they don’t honor ours (incl our women)? Why is it not wrong to demand they treat us as well as we treat them? “If you want America to honor your licenses then you must honor ALL American licenses as equally as America does”

Don’t tolerate intolerance. Don’t play games with bad governments.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what actual Afghani laws around driving look like I’m just using your example.
If you can show me any data that shows that Covid was even remotely and possibly dangerous to healthy people under 40, I’ll listen.

And by remotely and possibly dangerous, I mean more of a risk of death than any other possible event or disease that can happen to healthy people in that age group.

But you can’t, because that data does not exist. Covid was simply not dangerous for healthy people under 40.
All you need to do is keep the books in a heap by their interestingness. ;) Then finding the most interesting book is Θ(1). It does take a little bit of work to take it off the heap to see what's next on your reading list, though.
I would like the answer to be "release the server for free", but I understand the reality is more nuanced.

Server-side code might have proprietary components or code reused for other games, or a whole lot of complications which are difficult to extricate from a "free" release, and the company might just not want the bother. Releasing something always comes with expectations, just look at how much grief authors of free and open source code sometimes get from entitled users!

But yeah, I would love for game companies to release their servers once the commercial shelf life of a game has ended.

I think it's unrealistic to always expect this, though.
The pcengines APU2 will do gigabit happily on four interfaces with passive cooling and ECC memory, there’s nothing but actual servers which will do more realistically speaking.
This is the kind of premium that practicing Catholic parents may be willing to pay to extend a sanitized, pro-church environment for their children, beyond the Catholic primary schools where these children have gone to before. (And which might have well cost more...)

A kilobyte is ~2^13 bits, but each bit is a power of 2 in regards to "things you can do."

So it's more like 2^2^13.

Technically a kilobyte is 1000 bytes exactly, so I'm not sure why the title says 2^1024 rather than 2^8000, which is the actual number of states in a kilobyte.
N95 masks still work (substantially reduce spread when worn by index patient and/or their contacts) when not fitted carefully. They then don’t live up to their rated specification, but are still a whole lot better than nothing or a lower-filtration mask.
Beatification in progress.
Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe#Matter_con...) thinks there are 10^80 atoms in the observable universe, which is approximately 2^240. If you only need to assign a unique ID to each atom, then you need a counter with approximately 240 bits.

But if you needed to store even one bit of information per atom (e.g. whether it is hydrogen or not), then don't you need 2^240 bits uncompressed?
Russell’s Paradox
Your quote:

"except that these white, entitled, racist Oxford snobs have been ruining the world for 179 years."

...reads a bit different.
The main problem for energy storage investment is that investors demand a complex, patentable system, but the best systems are too simple for that. So, there will be a rash of over-complicated storage scheme startups, and not enough simple ones.

So to field a good system, you need to rely on grants, instead. A grant might suffice to prove viability, but it takes investment to build a factory to build systems in the huge volume we will need. So, the parts for your system need to be already manufactured in volume for some other purpose. And you probably need a utility to commit to a huge order and pay in advance.

We need an investment fund that selectively funds scaling up the simple storage systems venture capital can't.
That's of course not correct.

1 KiB or a kilobyte has 256^1024 different states, not 2^1024. Can be written also as 2^(1024 * 8).

This fact is also mentioned in author's own reply, just submitting this comment to avoid other people scratching their heads.

Working on things like the busy beaver problem helps us understand how "fancy" you can make a program of a given size.

For 1024 bytes, even with an inefficient instruction encoding, the answer is "pretty fancy".

After all, you can fit a LISP into 512 bytes of x86 code-- https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp . About 64 bytes of that is strings!

In addition to all those programs-- about anything you can write in any language on a page or so fits compressed. So every short poem, etc, small essay, newspaper column, etc.
perhaps they are the same model. iirc people recommend not to use the same model of hardware to provide redundancy.
In the UK and Australia, the taxi experience was generally better than that. Uber came along and undercut them, and at first they had a great experience.

Now uber is usually more expensive, and usually less reliable. It's very fortunate that they didn't quite manage to completely kill off the competition with their subsidies.
Yes, for someone who contribute a very high level while being part-time. As a manager, I’m just looking to move the needle.
Surgical Mask (3ply) and N95.

Pretty much all masks are surgical 3ply now, at the start of covid it was quite hit and miss, alot of 'surgical' were not 3ply.
The point is that we allow competition from China but they can’t compete in China. It’s asymmetrical competition. The Chinese companies have a bigger population of customers (so more access to make money, more people to serve and grow from etc).

China protects their businesses from American competition but we don’t protect our businesses from Chinese competition.
Proof of stake anyway.
I would take Uber lobbyists over taxi lobbyists in Hong Kong any day. Manipulating the number of taxi licenses so the current license are worth millions of HKD, holders get rich just by letting hundreds of licenses to drivers who don’t earn much after rent, while also being pawns of CCP? I don’t think people would really like them.
PocketBase uses embedded SQLite in WAL mode, so it's already compatible with Litestream if you want to integrate it.

Or do you want Litestream somehow embedded in the Pocketbase binary so it's part of the "one file" artefact? They're both written in Go, so I guess that could theoretically be possible.
I don't know about America but every pack of masks I've bought in Europe has been made in China. Always comes with one of those little white papers with don't Chinese scribbles and a red star stamped on it. Even when the packaging is in the local language.
The water droplets are several orders of magnitude larger than the virus, but still small enough for some of them to fit through the gaps in a cloth mask (but almost none make it past an N95 mask).

The cloth mask still stops the vast majority of such drops, cutting risk significantly compared to no mask.
Here in Spain there were lots of cloth masks. And I've never seen people wear two of any type.
> You just have to conduct your business in China under the same rules that Chinese businesses in China have to follow.

Isn't one of the rules that foreign companies are required to partner with, and thus share all of their trade secrets with, a domestic Chinese company?
An old startup heuristic:

1. Work or play in a specific area for 5+ years.

2. Learn about the “holes” or “pain points” in that area of interest—->valuable problem(s).

3. Ideate/hypothesize multiple solutions to those problems and socialize with knowledgeable people—> potentially valuable solution(s)

4. Pick the best solution(s) and build initial conceptual prototype(s) based on a limited set of essential requirements—-> bench or conceptual prototype

5. Test and then demonstrate the conceptual prototype(s) to a broader group and measure feedback. Ask open-ended questions to hone requirements. —-> initial set of requirements

6. Build improved prototype(s) and iterate until solid. —->
functional prototype

7. Do an initial market analysis based on feedback and customer definition. Also do an initial financial analysis and cost roll-up to figure out what it will cost to go to production and what price the market will bear. If the price for the product can be at least 2x the cost, you are on the right track.

8. “Sell” the demonstrable, functional, pre-production prototype(s) to a few customers who are willing to beta test. Price is not the issue at this point, so treat these beta testers like gold. Be responsive. Debug, fix, repeat…

9. Start pre-marketing to stimulate interest and get contact info. This is done using social media, forums like HN or Reddit, and blogs with a credible early website. You might also consider a crowdfunding campaign to help fund production if you get enough interest/contacts (500+ is a good number).

10. Design and build the initial product that will work at scale (thousands of units) and update the financial projections.

11. Design the launch marketing campaign if you haven’t already done so.

12. And so on…

How can you perceive the supernatural? If you perceive it, then it’s sense data. So photons and sound waves.

What if it comes from XXX in HR, who just lost a family member to skin cancer and decided to use their corporate authority and "send to all" powers to remind everyone to use sunscreen.

What if it comes from a new study that shows that monitors cause skin cancer and it's new information most desk workers don't know to use sunscreen at their desk?

What if it comes every year in the "get ready for Summer" info packet?

What if it came with a reminder to be careful on Friday half-days that you weren't expecting?

I'm not sure what the cynicism is geared towards? It's impersonal? Isn't it a benefit that these aren't people who think you personally don't know to use sunscreen?

You said you questioned their motives. Would it help if you knew the people in HR and knew they were legitimately trying to help you? Would it help if they said "hey, don't get sick and raise our premiums. It comes out of the same pot off money everyone's bonuses come out of"?
Cars are an interesting point. Average cost of a car is $40k currently (average gas prices is ~$4.68/gallon. We are forced to drive in most places in the US, because there is very little public transit infrastructure. The transfer from public to private has led to expensive transportation, high carbon emissions, and rampant obesity. Now we cannot imagine any alternatives and private industry won't allow public alternatives.
The difference between planned and convenient seems to be intent. And in this context that difference very much matters. I wouldn’t conflate the two.
I think you're just making things up based on an unfounded and certainly unsubstantiated perception of reality.

Do you have any reference for your claim about Steve Ballmer? I tried numerous different ways of searching for it and none of them produce any kind of result. I also tried Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and some other rich tech CEOs but nothing comes up. Once again, you may have heard some kind of anecdotes or stories and mixed things up in your mind to create an image of what you think is real, but the actual statistics and facts do not back up your bold assertions.

For example, it's not lawsuits that put an end to the chemistry sets of the 1960s, it's the Toxic Substances Control Act together with the The Toy Safety Act that removed the use of lead, poisons, acids and other toxic chemicals from chemistry sets that were marketing towards kids. Had nothing to do with lawsuits but rather due to legislation.

If you want actually want to blame something for the decline of the modern chemistry set, it has more to do with policymakers concerns about their use in illegal drug manufacturing than it does with any kind of lawsuit.
I can’t imagine a world without Uber. Every city I go to, this or similar apps simply makes my commute easier and better.
Let's assume that all the successful "awards for plaintiff" claims were 100% justified.

That's 56% of 5% of total lawsuits.

So that suggests that 97.2% of those lawsuits are unsuccessful.

From WalterBright's comments my guess is that his position would be something like "a ton of money and time is wasted lawyers and other legal stuff due to a system that accepts so many frivolous suits."

But another person could interpret that as "there are a lot of legitimate claims in that 97.2% that end up being unsuccessful because the US system is unfriendly to you if you don't have $$$ to pursue a case." Close to the complete opposite.

In terms of "how good the US judicial system for these sorts of liability cases," I'm not sure that actually matters much, though! In either case, there's a lot of waste and a lot of failures in the system. A system that relied less on adversarial procedures and each side retaining their own council and more on judges with independent fact-finders or arbitrators seems very preferable! If you're of the "it's rigged against the plaintiff" view, this system could be much harder to drown in paperwork and spurious procedural stuff like a large corporation can do to a small plaintiff today. And if you're in the "most of this shouldn't even get this far, it's too easy to file nuisance suits" camp, this system could toss out ridiculous things sooner.

This sort of "inquisitorial" or "nonadversarial" system is used in a few places in the US (like traffic court) and much more extensively in some countries.
