Damage comes in many forms and temperature/climate controlled rooms only prevent a certain kind of damage.

The ancient city of Palmyra was irreparably destroyed by Isis in 2015. No amount of climate control would have protected it from the explosive charges that destroyed it.

Reburying sites like these will better protect them from deliberate damage and incidental damage from wars and such. Archaeologists deal with a timescale that often can’t assume political stability of the area where they dig stuff up. It’s better to not assume that future generations will pay the electric bill to keep the site preserved.
Then the best we can claim is we don't know why smart people aren't as happy.

Our technology is keeping up with our “hard limits”. If we were politically willing to build more nuclear reactors, we’d have zero problems with energy or water (desalination). Mineral scarcity turned out not to be. Land scarcity isn’t a thing (the entire world population could live in single family homes in roughly the same land area as Texas or Ukraine). And at our current tech level and rate of innovation, we could start have undersea domes or O’Neill cylinders by the time we ran into any of those limits.

Same, but part of that is I realized how much I didn't know about things which I was originally quite certain about. Epistemology is a field which is sadly usually confined to religious schools. It's pretty eye-opening when you start applying it to things you think you knew.

It was more than a little disturbing when I started reading the methodology sections of scientific papers that make the headlines and I realized at LEAST 90% of them were absolute bullshit.
Pretty much everything is still going up, and it'll all be be even more expensive next year. A reduction in inflation doesn't mean things get cheaper... they just get expensive slower than before. Doesn't change the fact that things became insanely expensive really fast the past couple years, and we're not likely to see real relief for a long time (if ever).
I feel like there is an opportunity for an app here that lets you input what you buy and see how the price has increased compared to the competition. There seems to be a lack of automated price comparisons here. I guess people can compare prices when shopping in store but if all companies raise their prices, I'd imagine some people would just stop buying if they knew about the price collusion more easily. I thought a cool app for the Apple AR goggles is to allow you to overlay the inflation increase of prices as you walk through a grocery store.
Well, there is the UIAA, CE and CN.... but even if that weren't the general issues with rope are it being cut due to rockfall (which I have experienced and been terrified by) or due to repeatedly grinding over an edge.

The ropes in climbing are way safer than many aspects of the sport.

The thing that gives me pause over the last couple of years has been wondering about how picky I should be about partners.

Human error seems like the most dangerous part of the sport to me.
Isn't the change in this yearly inflation number saying only that this July's inflation was less than last July's? So going up or down depends only on the monthly rate a year ago.
This is what I don’t understand with the tech workers who can work remotely, why live somewhere really expensive?

I’m not in tech but it really doesn’t matter where I have a place to live so I’m in the process of buying a house in Iowa which is literally less expensive than the storage unit I rent in Phoenix — relatively speaking, over time, if you aren’t that good at math, maybe?

Sure, after closing I have to deal with the squatters (or maybe renters, dunno?) and probably have to do some repairs (again, dunno?) but the price is basically for a shell of a house which, after a bit of research, is how these things are priced if you’re willing to take on some risk and don’t mind doing some work before you can move in.

At the risk of just rambling…the flowers in the front yard are what really sold me, what kind of person is going to stay in a bank-owned house and still maintain the yard?

Unsafe at Any Speed? Electric Cars Keep Catching Fire
I bought a rigid vacuum cleaner a few years back in part because it had "Lifetime Warranty!" emblazoned on the front of the box, and it died after about six months of light use. When I checked the terms of the warranty, it said that it was only covered if it failed on the first or second use out of the box.

https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/wet-dry-vac-warranty

> It is our experience that a product that fails prematurely due to a manufacturing defect in materials or workmanship, will generally do so very early in the products life cycle, often the first or second time the product is used. When returned for inspection, these products are generally found to still be in like new condition and show very little signs of use. It is uncommon for a product that was manufactured with a defect, to survive under normal use for any extended period of time. Products that are returned for warranty inspection after months or years of continuous reliable service are rarely found to be defective. The most common demand for service is the result of normal wear and tear issues, which may not be considered a defect in materials or workmanship.

No warranty is fine, but I don't understand how they can put that badge on the box in good conscience. It wasn't that big a deal, but it rubbed me the wrong way and I'll never buy Rigid again.
Just like Lua, hence their similarities.
Whether the lb can safely retry should depend on the HTTP method, in practice you can configure most lbs appropriately based on application knowledge as well. (I.e. a repeat POST might be "safe enough" on some endpoints.)

> The issue with letting CPU be the back pressure is that it'll happen _after_ the connection is established.

But this is true of anything the http.Server could have done. If you want an application-agnostic client to be sure it's safe to re-issue a POST, you have to stop it before the connection is open because as soon as it's open that data is coming through. Conversely, for anything (general or application-specific) the http.Server could have done after pickup, you could do in an early-stage handler for little to no additional overhead.

It feels like you're asking for something HTTP can't really do, so of course http.Server can't do it.
As an end user of Google Ads/Analytics what frustrates me the most is every time I have some question it’s like at least 3 meetings with different people explaining the same problem and the answer is always to pass the buck down to some “specialist”. It’s like no one even understands their products anymore. You have a “measurement specialist” and like three layers of specialists in that layer. You actually can’t get your questions answered because no one person seems to know how everything fits together. Just passing the problem from one so called specialist to the next.
I thought it was a widely-known-secret that at least part of the insane hiring of engineers without clear teams, projects, etc for them to work on initially was to prevent individuals working for current-or-potential competitors.

Purposely over-hiring to prevent work being done elsewhere, and then claiming there is not enough work to be done, feels like it shouldn't be surprising to anyone.

Hell, Google has created ~18 (I think?) different messenger/chat apps at this point. If you wanted a clue that there wasn't enough work to go around (and that your promotion incentives may not be aligned with the business), this should have been the first clue.
This!

Far too often middle managers are incentivized to build the largest team possible.

While the message from the top may be "lean and mean" but you compensate middle managers based on team size...

Perverse incentive certainly comes to mind.
I really don't think it's a false assertion. What code isn't "plumbing"?

For example, you can get 90% of the way to a CSV parser in Python in one line (as `[line.split(",") for line in open("some.csv").readlines()]`). Should we consider it a false assertion to call that a "one liner" and if so, how should it properly be described?
I'm trying to remember why Ruby fell out of favor ~10 years ago. I don't think it was all down to performance because it was mostly on par with Python. I seem to recall that it came down to community practices that were a little too freewheeling - widespread monkey patching, etc. and these had become reflected in Ruby's flagship product (Rails). (I used to do a lot of Ruby programming in the 2001-2010 timeframe and like the language, but it's mostly been Python since then)

> To be sure, the Covid-induced pandemic saw Meta embark on a massive hiring spree, growing its number of full-time staff from 48,000 at the end of 2019 to more than 77,800 — a 62 per cent jump. But now the firm must “prioritise more ruthlessly” and “operate leaner, meaner, better executing teams,” Meta Chief Product Officer Chris Cox wrote in a memo, which appeared on the company’s internal discussion forum Workplace before the Q&A.

The article doesn't mention a different problem. Those new hires entered at extremely inflated salary levels due to literally every other company doing the same thing at the same time. Righting that ship means not just layoffs, but recalibrating salary expectations. The process is just starting.
EDIT: I misunderstood the purpose of the site, my bad. Ignore this.
The translation is a legitimate skill that should not be underestimated. Especially when you add in that there ought to be flow the other way as well. As an engineer, I want to be involved early in the business processes, because as we all know sometimes business people assume that very hard things are easy, but sometimes there is something I can offer them that they don't have any idea is easy. It's best to work through the cost/benefit process together, rather than the business people huddling in a corner before flinging over a set of requirements to engineering as Holy Writ.

(Kinda struggling with that now; I'm peripherally involved in a project with big monetary implications. The "solution" is to build a big system as quickly as possible and run around making super-high-priority requests across a whole lot of teams, almost all of which need to be in place before any value is obtained, and which consequently is behind schedule and dragging out. On the other hand, a week, some database queries, and a reasonable amount of manual labor could get about 50-75% of the value now. But none of the project managers are interested in that fact, which frankly boggles my mind. I'm not sure if they just don't understand what I'm saying, or are just so stuck on the solution they designed that they've lost all ability to think outside it. One thing I have confirmed is that it isn't just that I don't have a full picture of the problem, which is the usual situation; I'm quite confident what I'm thinking would work.)

However, while that skill is not necessarily something you need a graduate degree for and 20 years dedicated experience, and engineers can pick it up, there are engineers who don't have it yet, or even won't pick it up because they despise it. The list of skills required to be an engineer is already pretty long, requiring this to be added as well raises the bar even higher.

I find this rather suspect. Write it as:

S[q(t), t_0, t] = int_{t_0}^{t} L(q(t'), q̇(t'), t') dt'

Formally, S is a function of the upper limit of integration, and dS/dt = L, yes? I don't see why we can't treat it this way. It is the arc-length formula of the space time metric, expressed as an integral in one privileged time coordinate ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_Lagrangian_mechan... ). Though, it's Lorentz invariant, and we could express it as an integral along the trajectory of the particle, in which case it's just = a constant factor * the proper time. The whole idea of "varying q while keeping the boundaries q[t_0], q[t], t_0, and t fixed" is perfectly understandable as a condition on q, but doesn't stop us from using the formula for S in other ways--for one, to come up with a general principle behind the condition on q.

Actual trajectories of closed systems do conserve momentum. The earth is interacting with the pendulum.

Violence is beating you up. Saying nasty things may be bad, but it's not bad because it's violence, whoever you say it to.

> You are misrepresenting the definition of hate speech in order to create a strawman. Here is the definition from Google search card:

I don't give a shit what Google has to say about it.

What I do care is what the laws actually are. We are talking about Hate Speech Laws. The law is what matters. Not your cherry picked definitions that help prop up your misrepresentation/misunderstanding of what is going on.

> So it's not just "offend or mock or belittle", but rather "abusive or threatening".

The issue is that 'abusive' is nonsense.

If it's a legitimate threat then it's illegal no matter what person or group it is targeted at.

When it's legal to do it against one political classification of persons, but it's illegal to do it against another one... That is a big freaking problem.

For justice under the law it needs to be universal in application. If you can be "abusive" against one person, but not another because of politically defined group classifications or you are not allowed to talk about or discuss or bring up certain projects because protected classes of people might find it "threatening", then that is objectively immoral.

> And if you think "offend or mock or belittle" are the same as "abusive", then you just don't get it yet.

Well there isn't much to get here. So I get it. Do you?

Euphemistic usage and strange definitions of "abusive" and "threatening" doesn't change anything. It's just abusing the language to obscure a position.

If it's real abuse, if it's real threats... then it's illegal universally. Nobody is arguing against that.

Perhaps. But, as evidence, I have a Chinese friend who bootstrapped his way to learn German when he became an exchange student in Germany, then, when he was doing his residency after graduating med school, he did the same with Spanish so he could treat his Hispanic patients in their language. He used children's books to kickstart, then graduated to advanced books, always with a dictionary at hand.
Excellent, I will look again.

The article is concerned with happiness and intelligence. I can’t speak to the strength of its evidence, but it does present a graph that shows a flat lined measure of happiness that spans 80 years despite an increase of 15 IQ points in that time.

Yes, any single number that measures unemployment or inflation can be misleading which is why there are in fact multiple measures.

However, the public generally is used to a specific unemployment measure and a specific inflation measure which is what's generally reported in the news.

You'll need a soft or hard wallet, a backup method appropriate to that wallet, a safe, custodial access (some way for your family/friends/etc to get to it if you die) and you may need to run a bittorrent node.

Most soft wallets are built in electron (Metamask) and are exactly as secure as you think an electron app is.

Hardware wallets are in theory better but may be vulnerable if physically taken, and require a cold wallet which itself has to be kept securely and for extended periods of time. For $120 you can get a titanium card to store your cold wallet backup on.

And all those hard/cold wallets need physical access control, protection from fires, etc.

It doesn't have anything directly to do with SAT but I'd say the #1 deficiency in RDFS and OWL is this.

Somebody might write

:Today :tempF 32.0 .

or

:Today :tempC 0.0 .

The point of RDFS and OWL is not to force people into a straightjacket the way people think it is but rather make it possible to write a rulebox after the fact that merges data together. You might wish you could write

:tempC rdfs:subPropertyOf :tempF .

but you can't, what you really want is to write a rule like

?x :tempC ?y -> ?x :tempF ?y*1.8 + 32.0

but OWL doesn't let you do that. You can do it with SPIN but SPIN never got ratified and so far all the SPIN implementations are simple fixed point iterators and don't take advantage of the large advances that have happened with production rules systems since they fell out of fashion (e.g. systems in the 1980s broke down with 10,000 rules, in 2022 1,000,000 rules is often no problem.)

This seem to fit with a related idea I have been thinking a lot about. What the relationship between having potential when you're young means in terms of how much success you will reach when you're older. And where does passion fit in this picture. If smart people end up being able to find their passion, are they more successful and does that lead to more happiness? Or is the hedonic treadmill inescapable.
