Personally I think it's entirely fair if someone in another country is allowed to compete on the world market and provide a service for cheaper. It makes economical sense for them as they'll improve their living standards by quite a lot. So you could say that I have compassion for everyone else in the world who isn't born a US citizen and needs to scrape by from much diminished opportunities to begin with.

The offshoring country indeed loses jobs and the jobless need to handle this situation. Some will end up drugged out in the street. I'd argue that these drugged off people aren't that much the fault of corporate leaders who cut costs by offshoring. I'd say the drugged off people are jointly responsible for their fate, along with governmental policies that offer no social net while also not wanting to take any action to prevent spiraling delinquency.

If you look around the world, not every person who loses their job ends up drugged off and homeless. In many places, people are quite poor and don't end up this way. Most people lose their jobs and turn around and figure something out. And then some people can't deal with the hit and don't have what it takes to handle and end up drugged out in the streets. There's some self responsibility going on here that allows this to go down this path. And there's some social policy at play too. In another country, you could only fall so far down before something makes it harder for you to go further down. Either there's strong social nets, or there's just strong anti-drugs laws, or all kinds of debatable policies.. but many of these policies help prevent people getting so low that they can't come back up.

Why is the poor trade worker in VN, living in a metal shed, able to handle abject poverty with dignity, and then get an offshored job and thrive... but the US worker loses their job, has 10x better economical opportunities than the VN worker but ends up drugged out in the street. This isn't a real argument as there are people heading down a self-destructive path everywhere in the world. But I can't help but think that a lot of self-pity has to do with one's own perceived expectations for higher standards and inability to accept loss.

Ultimately, I can't help but think it's an infantilizing argument to say that the hard working factory workers who become junkies, are junkies because someone offshored their job. Because this supposes that they had no agency into doing anything about it, they were doomed to become junkies. This also supposes that a variety of things could have easily knocked them off the good path. That they were fragile and had no recourse or control over their destiny. If it wasn't a CEO offshoring their job, it would have been some other hurdle. And I don't buy this, I don't think the average hard working factory worker is such a fragile person, whose entirely at the mercy and requires the protection of a patronizing CEO.
Private companies can of course choose to host whatever they want. And it's certainly not possible for Github to behave unconstitutionally because Github is not the government.

But... the fact that speech was removed from a platform in obvious response to legal uncertainty created by the government, puts OFAC in serious hot water. When it comes to First Amendment issues, modern SCOTUS decisions have been extremely focused on "chilling effects". And it's near undeniable that Github's removal based on the timing was a consequence of chilling effects created by OFAC action, whether intentional or not.
And their opt-out policy for books was ended after their extremely-optimistic ploy to parlay becoming America's covid library into a general weakening of copyrights. I don't even know if they have an opt-in process for the copyright holders of books.

Public domain is a legal term of art. It is not the internet, and it is not achieved by publishing something on the internet.

People voting D or R because that’s their tribe rather than because they want those policies is an example.

I know a lot of people who vote without even really reading what’s on the ballot. They just go with whatever option has D next to it. Others do the same but for R.

Personally I can’t vote so it’s mostly an interesting phenomenon to observe
Frankly. Only in the US of A. This is such a stain on the country. How did these not get capital punishment? How did the ones paying the bribes not get capital punishment? How does anyone involved in the crime still have money left?
Wow, thanks a lot. I'm kind of surprised I didn't knew this because I recall searching quite a bit for such a tool/script. In my defense it was around when 1.6 got released ... if anything this shows how fast the julia community grows(or how slow I keep up).
The polarization of a single photon is a quantum property, so it's essentially a probability distribution. Passing a photon through a polarizer modifies the probability distribution such that "more perpendicular" polarizations are now less likely and "more parallel" ones more likely. (Polarization is a superposition (ie. a linear combination) of two orthogonal basis vectors, and a polarizer projects a polarization vector onto one of the basis vectors.)

I'm kind of on the fence with Julia, never used it in anger. But to me it seems much more of a Matlab or Python replacement than a Fortran replacement? Meaning that (in my perhaps limited view) it's main usefulness is in making algorithm development much faster and smoother.

However, once a new very fast algorithm has been discovered and tested and everyone agrees it is good, someone will probably implement it in Fortran or C or even assembly and optimize the shit out of it.

One thing that supports this view is that there are several Julia packages that are wrappers around existing C/Fortran/C++ libraries, and basically no examples (that I know) of people porting existing libraries to Julia.
I started out using debuggers because it made sense to step through the execution, then stopped for years as a junior- and mid-level because nobody else did, least of all the toxic lead engineers that were liberally sprinkled over every London agency I worked in, and then eventually turned 40, at which point I instantly stopped giving a shit about what anyone thought of me, and went back to being a totally-non-rock-stroke-ninja coder again. Debugging.

It’s not just Unix culture that’s allergic to debugging, it’s every chancer and charlatan the world over.
The linked blog post gives the impression that little has changed, but it is very much not the case.

Taking a look at the first section, "OpenSSH Modifications" - rather little of it is current. With respect to ciphers disabled by default in upstream we may follow along in main but leave them enabled in a stable/release branch, in an attempt to avoid breaking existing users while deprecating increasingly insecure options over time. We do indeed add support for tcp_wrappers back in. With respect to the base system I think the rest of the section is not applicable.
Increasing funding for enforcement for the IRS is something that I personally feel is a good thing, but I think it’s fair to cover it in light of the fact that it seems to be colored by politics, like so much else. Why on earth would the Democrats pronounce that it won’t be used to audit anywhere earning less than $400k? As an extension of the anti-rich rhetoric, it’s no longer a simple “bureaucratic funding decision” and should be covered/discussed. (Not that I fully agree with the tone or manner of coverage, but you can’t claim that it’s not news.)

Roughly 90% of Americans file using the standard deduction ($13k for a single person, $26k for a married couple filing jointly). Median household income is ~$67k, so the median household is not itemizing.

Do we know why these kids were convicted? Was it for petty stuff like you mention or was it for worse crimes? (I'm sure it was a mix; 4,000 kids... damn.)

And, regardless of their (possibly not even real) crimes, we can't be certain that they would have been convicted if the judges' profit motive hadn't been there.

I agree that the police are involved in ridiculous ways when kids misbehave at school, but I don't think it's fair to assume that all of these kids would still have had their lives ruined if it wasn't for some corrupt judges.
Uh... well... If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

UK is the place to be to still find some of the best artisan level handwork.
While this explanation is very nice, it still does not actually explain what is happening on a material level.

The light does not "pass" through the middle filter, but it excites oscillations in the material, which effectively re-emits the light with different properties. The incoming light polarized at 0° induces oscillations in electrons which are "bound to a rail" in the material, which allows them to only oscillate in the direction of 45° (and all oscillations in the direction of -45° are absorbed). Therefore, a portion of the incoming field essentially gets re-emitted by the middle filter linearly polarized at 45°.

This representation is much less helpful if you think of the light in terms of individual photons rather than fields of course, but it is not worse than the article in this regard either.

I have one of these and also loved it… until the hinge snapped. They sent me a replacement top panel, but I still haven’t gotten around to fixing it because it’s a bit nervewracking. You have to lift the (pretty delicate-looking) screen off which is held on by adhesives.

It only makes sense to do this on the level of a governing body, because the term 'monopoly' is defined by governing bodies and the remedies against it are enforced by the same.

You can cherry-pick / gerrymander any group you want to make it look like Apple has a monopoly by the numbers, but in order to make it stick you'd need to demonstrate that Apple fixes prices (they don't, their phones cost ~2x or more what competitors' phones cost) or that they're somehow excluding other competitors from access to the phone market (they're not).
It looks like a garbage service but it’s kind of great. It what I use to send money. It’s instant and free.
Zelle is weird, you can't actually directly transfer account to account. You transfer to a person's phone number or email, so each person can only have 1 Zelle enabled account. Also people aren't automatically enrolled, you have to enable Zelle. And email/phone is really easy to make a typo. Routing and Acc number are easy to typo too, but hopefully any FedNow based services will handle that automatically.
I think they were referring to people and companies who owned the private juvenile prisons. Seems like they got away with fines, and those fines were directed toward the companies, not the individuals involved.
The concern that the article presents - that the middle filter influences the light and thus allows it to pass through the third filter - is actually addressed in popular quantum mechanics explanations that use the 3 filter experiment.

They say that if we use two entangled photons and let them fly far apart, then pass one of them through two filters, and the second photon through the middle filter, the first photon will be affected - it will get a chance to pass though the pair of filters.

That they say is "spooky action at distance" - the second photon will influence behaviour of the first photon at the remote site of the experiment and the "influence" is faster then the speed of light.

Example here by MinutePhysics and 3Blue1Brown: https://youtu.be/zcqZHYo7ONs
Explanation about entanglement starts at around 8:50.

But even with that addressed, to me personally this video is not satisfying.

If the spooky action at distance can be observed so trivially - choosing a filter at one site site affects what happens at the remote site - we don't need a mathematical inequality (the Bell's inequality), it's already so obviously spooky.

There are also serious problems with clarity of their explanation, as I commented in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcqZHYo7ONs&lc=Ugz3tzpDP_i1N... and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcqZHYo7ONs&lc=Ugz3tzpDP_i1N...

I am not sure the real Bell experiments are really done using 3 polarizing filters and will the effect really be observed in experiment with two remote sites.

My conclusion, it's problematic to rely on "pupular science" explanations, even by good channels like MinutePhysics and 3Blue1Brown.

Seriously; the people involved on the private prison side should also see jail time. And if the scheme was pervasive or high-up enough, the government should have dissolved the companies entirely.

In my past experience, CNN has not been very transparent in terms of admitting its bias, which is very much apparent to the average news viewer. I am not sure that anyone in the US other than a few highly sheltered democrats, who get their news only from left-leaning sources, still believes that it is "the most trusted name in news."

Incidentally, I actually think MSNBC, which admits to being a left-leaning news source, produces better (and less biased) news content than CNN. I have actually seen them cover important stories that are unfavorable to their point of view, when CNN has radio silence.
What about the rest?
I mean, how is other less advanced but still important chips scarcity addressed? Their production was hit as well.
Financial Times, The Guardian, Reuters are usually pretty good. There might be some bias somewhere, or a weird opinion piece (clearly labeled as such) but they are honest reporting outlets that don't outright lie, and fix any mistakes that might have slipped in.
My concern with a device of this size is typing. How do you use a keyboard barely larger than a credit card? Do you thumb-type, touch type, hunt-and-peck with just your index fingers?
Canada has e-transfers between any two bank accounts via Interac, although some banks do charge a small fee when sending from some types of accounts. Interac debit can also be used pervasively at POS terminals, although credit cards (both Visa and MasterCard) are widely used. I haven't seen a cheque used in any capacity in over a decade.

Edit: Both debit and credit card payments use chip-and-pin or tap everywhere, and have for a well over a decade.
You’d be best off looking to join a company that is seed stage or series A. During growth phase is when companies are looking for specialized skills. What are you using for job sources?

Keep in mind though that startups generally frown upon candidates coming across as picky in what they want to work on. You can’t have it both ways. Think it from their perspective. Of course, they don’t need to know about it. And you won’t be working on it if you are at least appearing less productive in that area if they try to get you to work on it ;)

Startups aren’t for everyone though.
In fairness latent heat of fusion is surprisingly high.

Actually, I don't think this is quite right. A cube of water 10cm in size is 10 grams. The heat of fusion for water is 333.55 J/gram, and a AA is 14400 Joules. So the energy for the ice cube (which is 4 inches across, in imperial units) is 10 grams * 333.55 J/gram = 3335.5 Joules, which is ~1/4th of the very large ice cube.

The AXI bus internal to the Pi's SoC is only capable of about 4gbps, and it carries DMA, so ~2gbps is more or less the hard limit for any kind of combined IO operation like disk<=>network no matter what kind of hardware you use for disk and network.

So yes, each pi can easily saturate its own 1gbps interface, so a system like ceph that parallelizes reads and writes among nodes is severely crippled by the onboard switch choking off bandwidth to external clients. For the same reason, you can't easily scale this platform beyond a single board, which puts your clustered system back into a single point of failure.

Strange, but terrible design decision.

A lot of the stuff they’re doing with wasm is confusing to me. Compiling an interpreter to wasm to run a script in the browser seems, IDK, a bit much.

I’m not seeing how using the first Futamura projection (targeting wasm) wouldn’t both result in a significantly smaller module size and give more opportunity to optimize/specialize the code as it could perform offline analysis. One could even use the second Futamura projection along with the dynamic code loading from TFA and get an online jit compiler virtually for free.

If I was getting paid megabucks to do these types of things that’s where I’d spend my research time.

OptFormer: Towards Universal Hyperparameter Optimization with Transformers
Musical genre multiplication and creation is just an internet disease where a bunch of would-be critics put original research on wikipedia and retroactively justify it by referencing one sentence in a 10 year old Slate article by some actual critic of no particular note.

Most of the people included in these genres had no idea they were in them when they created the music (because they didn't exist.) Plenty of them still have no idea, and may not have ever heard of the genre that they "typified."

edit: and since most people who are "experts" on popular music create that identity by just vacuuming up what they can find on the internet, creating a genre in Wikipedia becomes equivalent to creating a genre.
the mammalian traits you speak of were the default mamalian due to pressure from the dinosaurs existence, they could not compete so survied in a compressed niche.
when the dinosaurs failed to survive the bottleneck at the KT boundry, the mammals were in a position to weather it out and expand niche into a landscape devoid of most large dinosaur lineages, this was followed up with mammalian diversification founded on the small cynodont plan.

this is all a tale of the fossil record and the principle of superposition
The implication is that the sanction, which caused the removal of the code, is violating free speech. Github doesn't have a choice in removing it if they want to avoid getting sued.
While this is cool tech and convenient, I worry about run-away costs and what happens if the company goes down? Seems like a LOT of risk.
>placental mammals were mainly or even exclusively nocturnal through most of their evolutionary story, starting with their origin 225 million years ago, and only ending with the demise of the non-avian dinosaurs 66 million years ago.

i guess we're lucky that dinosaurs didn't evolve IR vision (not that it wasn't impossible given that snakes did get IR sense).
That's not true - it is in all supported releases, but not enabled by default. It will be enabled by default in the upcoming 131.1
It’s not unconstitutional for a company to think that they need (or want) to do something in response to a sanction.

GitHub is not in the business of being legally innovative.

This is wrong and not possible. WF is a public company so you can look up their financials: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/WFC/financials/

You can see that interest revenue > non interest revenue always so there is no way interchange can account for 64% of their revenue.
No, nothing of note is changing other than speed and ubiquity of transactions. If you believed sloth and paper checks were providing you privacy, think again.
It’s longer term. CPI just measures a weighted prices of a basket of goods/services. In reality, the purchasing power of the dollar moves quite a bit outside the CPI basket because people absolutely spend their capital outside that basket.
