I think we need to also remember that people cannot focus on healthy living without financial security. Financial insecurity forces people to sacrifice health, safety and wellness to make ends meet.

Fortunately permissive zoning not only facilitates the emergence of densely populated and walkable mixed-use neighborhoods, but also significantly increases incomes. [1]

Other policies that I advocate to this end are a focus on law and order to prevent the emergence of ghettos (Thomas Sowell explains how the 1960s riots and subsequent normalization of criminality contributed to the ghettoization of many inner city neighborhoods [2]), a focus on building public transit and bike infrastructure, and market friendly policies like a light tax burden, and an absence of centralized (regulatory) control over market interaction.

Exactly. Does anyone discount Newtonian physics because the author published Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica?
Well in its original form Roe laid out, without any legislative input, a full on trimester system in which abortion was definitely legal until the third trimester, thus making regulations like the ones you mention impossible. This was somewhat relaxed with PP v Casey, but I don't think the kinds of regulations you mention would even be legal then. Thus, by making the compromise position untenable, it naturally brought out extremists on both ends.

The hype for Netflix stock was based on them becoming the Spotify of video and a tech advantage in streaming. It became clear a while ago that the studios wouldn't allow this and they no longer have a tech advantage. The market is finally adjusting their stock to match reality.

Now they are fighting a battle they can't win. HBO, Disney, etc. have huge back catalogs that immediately makes their streaming services more valuable, in addition to all the new content they make.

They shouldn't have given up so quickly on physical media. Physical media does not have the licensing issues. They could've invested heavily like the way Amazon did on lowering delivery time. Maybe they could've gotten physical media delivery down to one hour or same day. This would counter the studios back catalog because while Disney can instantly stream their back catalog, it's only Disney. Netflix would have access to back catalogs of all studios (at the tradeoff of waiting for the physical media) That's a tradeoff that many customers would make (access to more back catalog diversity in exchange for the delay of waiting for disks).

At the same time, they could produce streaming content with a different business model. How many times do customers complain about favorite shows getting canceled after a season? What if there was a way for customers to select which shows they want supported? Like pick your top five every month and your subscription money will go to that show.

Instead, they went the route of just spending a lot of money making new content as if they're a studio. But they can't beat the studios at being a studio, Disney and the others are the best at that.
It prompted me to pull up the handy "recent device streaming activity" tab and it turns out my brother is still using it, so I guess the subscription lives another day (at least until they try to start charging per location).
Hopefully 20 days, could be 40 days if global warming continues. I think newly installed A/C should use inverter, or at least it's not a unit with a duct hose.

> At the time of this comment almost all the top comments are about pay. No doubt pay is an important consideration, but it worries me when it’s the primary consideration. The best engineers I know like engineering because they have a natural curiosity to learn how things work, not because it’s the easiest route to riches.

This is not incompatible with what the comments are saying. I'm an ECE, I love hardware and working in VLSI, and I eagerly engage with the open hardware movement. I also love working with software, it scratches the same itch, hacking on multiplier layouts and hacking on SIMD accelerated code both involve the same type of analytical mindset.

And yet I work in software because it pays more. As always, these "this highly skilled occupation is collapsing" posts are linked entirely to pay. A talented EE or CE can easily transition to software, and they do.

I was in roughly the same spot but I had to switch when I transferred schools because I would have practically had to start from scratch in CE but I was halfway done with a CS degree. Not sure it's possible to design an ECE curriculum that's easier to transfer into, take part time, or is more forgiving of early failures, but if it is I bet it would help.

Also at the time I went to school (2006-2008) there wasn't any soldering and very little hands-on anything in the courses I took at CMU and UMass Amherst. It was formulae and Verilog (more coding than a lot of CS classes).

In the Intro to CivE class I had to take for scheduling reasons we made a cardboard bridge and watched it fail to support the professor who was suspended over a pit. I can't remember a single ECE lab from the two years of classes I took. I learned a lot more from playing around with Arduino and such in the years after.

If you think that’s bad, just wait until you see what salaries look like for postdocs in theoretical physics.

The economy does not reward people for how smart they are, how impressive their credentials are, or how hard their skills were to learn. It rewards people who solve problems. Preferably problems that other rich people have. Many, many, many more rich people have website problems than PCB circuit board problems. Ergo those that can solve website problems make more money.

Doing something difficult can be a way to make a lot of money, because it restricts supply and is a competitive moat. But low supply is a winning recipe when coupled with high demand. The supply of string theorists is low, but so is the demand.

If you’re going to do something difficult make sure that it’s something that lots of rich people need. For example being a hedge fund quant is a really well paying job because it’s both difficult, and highly in demand because every rich person on the planet wants higher returns on their portfolio.

Except in most countries, abortion is illegal by the second trimester. Second trimester abortions (so up until 24 weeks) had to be legal under Roe. Only regulations that are about the mother's health were allowed. So you could mandate that second-trimester abortions have to be in a hospital, but you couldn't outlaw a 20 week abortion completely, the way most developed, civilized countries have.

PP v Casey changed that a bit, sure, but that was 30 years ago.
What does it matter if it's in the 85th percentile if they can get more money in another industry?

The question isn't, "can you survive as an EE?" sure, you can survive as fry cook at a fast food chain. The question is, "will headhunters poach this occupation and have a high success rate due to the salary delta?" And the answer for the EE -> SWE transition is obviously yes.
This is both more fair and more informative than censoring the company altogether.

This is similar to nondeterminacy, and is why we end up with all sorts of “interpretations” (Copenhagen, …). Indeterminacy makes the math really hard. I would like to say more, but I can’t do so and be correct. If you’re really interested, pick up all three volumes of “The Theoretical Minimum”, and come to your own opinion after learning the physics.
This is right on the money in identifying the continual battle with using a hypermedia API for system-to-system communication. There comes a time where you realize that what you're building is great for discoverability, but not for instructing a computer to do something on your behalf.

That said, the situation isn't entirely dire. With some standard linking conventions (e.g RFC 8288 [1]), you can largely make an API that is pleasant to interact with in code as well. That the links/actions are enumerated is good for humans to learn how to manipulate the resource. That they have persistent rels is good for telling a computer how to do the same.

Think <link rel="stylesheet" href="foo"> as an example. A human reading the HTML source will see that there's a related stylesheet available at "foo". But a program wanting to render HTML will check for the existence of links with rel="stylesheet".

Car A/C is generally run directly by engine rather than via electricity, unless your car is strong hybrid/EV. Anyway it's worse for efficiency. Hybrid cars with electric A/C are better than that because it has true generator rather than alternator, and its engine run occasionally while not moving.

Another tip for cooling car is to avoid sunlight as possible. Glass surface on car is so big.

Before the days of tent-encampments there were plenty of people who rented small spaces in well-made but old, cheap hotels (c.f. Barton Fink). Helluva lot better than a tent. Then along came the wrecking balls.

One of my ancestors lost her husband just before the depression. For a couple of decades, she took in 'boarders' who held or found jobs because of that opportunity.

I don’t think bringing morality into a discussion about a public corporation trying to make more money is helpful. The owners are abstract from it enough that they only care that share price go up.

In the world where it was an explicit feature in the top tier plan I already pay for.
Even that's being generous. My expectation of service reflects the situation as it existed when I signed up: half the current price with about three times as many shows that I cared about watching.
I don't understand the anti-Netflix hate. If you don't like their catalog, you have lots of options.

Password sharing is the rampant default. It's not just grandma in the home or your daughter at college. It's your friends, your exes, your old housemates. Netflix has been, IMO, remarkably chill about this for a very long time. Y'all are talking like they are audaciously stealing something you believe that you are owed.

I think that what got lost along the way is that Netflix forgot what their real product innovation was: long-tail convenience. Whether being able to order from a massive catalog of DVDs or stream things in hi-def without having to worry about torrents or FTP servers, Netflix really changed the way we access media.

They've also played a massive role in popularizing alternative comedy to the masses. Same with documentaries, to a different degree.

I do think they've made some questionable content production decisions. It's highly likely that if they'd stuck to financing comedy specials, documentaries and bringing back shows like Arrested Development and Firefly, they might not have scared Disney, Amazon, HBO and Hulu into competing with them. Their greed made it impossible for the incumbents to not compete.
> a human child can only grow if it somehow combines with food.

Indeed, and in the United States, it is a crime for a mother or father (or even most random adults) to neglect a child.

The kidney argument is often used to make the case that a woman should not have to carry a child. However, this argument falls flat.

If you find an abandoned child, you actually... have to take care of it. If you don't, you can be imprisoned. If you're the parent, you'll be imprisoned for even longer. You have a basic duty to care for children, even if not a parent.

F-droid is an app store that carries only FOSS apps that do not have any Google API's. These apps are generally safe. Some may require your location such as maps to function. The difference with most of these mapping apps based on OSM.org is that they do not transmit your location anywhere.

You can still install other proprietary location harvesting apps on your phone. If you do so, you are just minimizing the number of data harvesters.

To ensure nobody but you knows where you are:
1. Have only safe apps installed.
2. An OS that does not send your location to Google, Apple, or others
3. Your SIM must not be transmitting to the Telco's. This means no SIM or airplane mode.
I agree - it is obvious to me that free will = non-determinism. But we are getting into metaphysics and unprovable thought experiments
Are you claiming a historical Athena? Please provide evidence.

Are the apps different if I download them from F-Droid? For example if I download Signal, is it different then the Play Store version?
> family B is better off, at least financially

You got the numbers wrong; I said each family had two earners, and I said they made $125k each and $110k each, deliberately setting up family A to have $230k after childcare and family B to have $220k. Both are clearly comfortable, but family B is apparently working less but at a higher effective hourly rate. With $10k/yr less, less work, and more time with their young child, I think many people would still say family B is coming out ahead.

> GDP measures how much work is produced

But that's not even true. It only seeks to track exchanges where money changed hands. If a childcare center closes and the parents care for their own kids, the same work can be done, but it's not included GDP. If I grow some of my own vegetables from seed which I otherwise might have bought from the grocery store, neither my labor nor the value I derive from that produce contributes to GDP.

> nothing is wrong - the problem with framing it this way is the underlying assumption of equity of distribution of the increased wealth.

Even without concerns about the income distribution, we know that what people actually value isn't just money, but GDP sums over transactions and ignores plenty of factors that may do as much or more for utility. Any time people choose to retire when they could keep working, or pick a career other than the one that would bring them the greatest expected income, they demonstrate that non-monetary factors can easily outweigh their profit-maximizing drive. But GDP doesn't attempt to measure those other factors.

This sounds outlandish only because we've lived with this system for so long, but it would be entirely reasonable for the BLS or some other body to run monthly or quarterly surveys to get information on changes of those other factors, and though it would be imperfect, we could approach something that looked more like a utility function for real humans. How hard would it be to ask a decently large group of people regularly:

- How satisfied are you with your health? Are you inhibited in doing the things you'd like by illness, injury, disability or aging?

- How secure are you in your housing? In your access to health care? In your ability to feed yourself and your family?

- How stressed are you?

- How happy are you with your relationships with close friends or family?

- Do you feel you have the time and resources to learn and grow in the ways that are important to you?

- Do you regularly engage activities that support finding a flow state?

- Do you find beauty in your environment?

Etc etc. I won't pretend that I know all the questions to ask, or how scores for their answers should be weighted. But _something_ should try to measure, "Are we happy or satisfied in our lives?" and not just "What are we paid?". Kuznets introduced the modern form of G(D|N)P almost 90 years ago, and he recognized its shortcomings then, and I'm frankly disappointed that at some point we didn't get around to at least a serious attempt at replacing it with something better.
Learning all my flaws after a year of doing founder-led sales
This was a known risk, and now, they get to modify the forward planning risk assessment for strike frequency at L2.

I think the design can be considered the sweet spot for how they can try to work around damage like this. I imagine there ARE possible patterns of loss which won't be as easy to mitigate, maybe the closer to the middle of a segment you are, the harder it is to make this a marginal consequence? There will be good engineers modelling this every which way.

If they had more smaller segments, they'd have traded final image quality for higher survivability of a single mirror loss. I imagine the size/quality trade off here was really heavily worked through, because once you've made 18 segments, making 100 or 1000 isn't such a big deal, especially if they are smaller. I wonder if people argued for a 256+ segment mirror rig. More mechanical failure risks.

It sad it happened at all. I kind of wish they'd had at least SOME round of science imaging before impact, not just during the tuning phase, so they can do before/after comparisons on science-grade collimation. Again, they probably modelled this out, so maybe it doesn't matter.

The article is kind-of philosophical about it: Will it "matter" ? we don't know. Lets see. Was it an acceptable risk? Sure, but we won't know future risk for a bit. Lets see.

Basically, wait: don't jump to conclusions.
Interesting. Thanks for the research!
I am trained in electronics. I love it. I have never stopped messing with electronics and microcontrollers over my whole life.

(And how good is it these days with things like, the RISC-V ESP32 with wifi and cheap as chips, unreal little modules, for example measuring temperature to +/- 0.01C, air-born particles, radiation etc etc).

This said, I doubt I could afford a comfortable life with a house and family in a major city like Sydney on half the pay. I know as I have thought about switching from SE back to EE many times.
> Isn't it deterministic and calculable?

The classical version is deterministic, but "deterministic" does not necessarily mean "calculable". There are plenty of deterministic problems that are not calculable (at least not in any reasonable time frame, where "reasonable" means "not of a much greater order of magnitude than the age of the universe") because they are so sensitive to precise conditions that miniscule differences quickly become unmanageably huge. And since we can never measure a system's state to exact precision, nor can we calculate things to exact precision, our model of a system is always imprecise, and for many systems, "imprecise" means "not calculable" even though the underlying laws are deterministic.

The quantum version is not even deterministic when measurements are involved.
