Current USPTO patent examiner here. The job is regarded as difficult by the vast majority of examiners, as it's based on a quota system and examiners don't get enough time to do a quality job. I don't know of a single examiner who works only one day a week. Many work unpaid overtime to meet their quotas, euphemistically called "voluntary overtime", which is rarely voluntary. There's about 50% attrition in the first year for new hires right now. That sound easy to you? I don't know any other job that hires white-collar professionals with such high attrition.

I encourage anyone who believes being a patent examiner is an easy job to read this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/patentexaminer/

You can find patent examiners who say that being a patent examiner is relatively easy. These folks typically changed from a notoriously difficult job in law or academia. So it's only relatively easier. Beyond these cases, there do seem to be some examiners who have an easy time, but that's quite rare in my experience, and I'd question the quality of their work.

As for why I took the job: I came from academia, so the job is easier in some respects. The quota isn't entirely bad: It's hard to meet, yes, but it's also mostly objective. If an examiner's numbers are good, the USPTO is happy with them. That contrasts with my experience in academia, where one's job performance is often subjective. If a researcher's boss decides they don't like the researcher for whatever reason (office politics, the researcher is socially awkward, etc.), there might be nothing the researcher could do to recover from that. The job also does give me a lot of freedom in other ways: I can live mostly anywhere I want to, I'm not expected to work all the time (production numbers beat looking busy by working all the time), there are few IP restrictions (aside from that I can't get a US patent), etc. The main problems for me are that the quota is too high and that I don't care for the technology I'm assigned (though the technology could be a lot worse).

(It should go without saying that this comment is my own opinion and not that of the USPTO, US govt., my previous employers, etc.)

> It’s hard to imagine, say, the US military being audited by an independent authority that is able to look at classified documents like battle plans, or new weapons technologies.

It's easy to imagine if you restore the Constitutional authority of civilian management of the military (and all other aspects of government). A reasonably responsible US voter should have nothing hidden from them, even military secrets.

I'm sorry, how many secret military documents have you personally seen?

I don't think anyone is meaningfully wasting electricity in Europe currently. Demand can't go to zero. Supply dropped significantly.
I post this every time this comes by: if you ever find yourself needing to (or more realistically, wanting to) write your own hard realtime programs but don't have a NASA-grade drone to play with, check out the arduino-copilot library by Joey Hess.

Nope. Some art is being made for the sake of making art. For me the process is pain relieving, even if no artefacts remain.

Art can be and often is social. But it is not fundamentally so.
You've been storing a bunch of documents for years. A court subpoenas information from you. You go on a massive file shredding campaign to destroy the documents you'd been happily storing for years. You pinky promise the court that the documents you destroyed were not subject to the subpoena. Do you believe this defense would work for you?
Iridium and Inmarsat have transponders that are much higher power and have much higher RF bandwidth that supports devices at very low speed data rates.

It's very conceivable that with an L-band or similar patch antenna some kind of low speed connectivity can be accomplished with line of sight to the sky via a mobile device. There are already devices sold for hikers etc that operate like this (simple SOS text messaging etc) and sat tracking of vehicles and trucks. A lot of it is store and forward type stuff.

As for full voice and high speed data - yeah, that ain't happening yet at the consumer level mobile device.
Solar and distributed storage help fight this. A significant amount of charging off peak also actually reduces the load, making things more reliable and cleaner.

Fire related grid shutdowns are usually hyperlocal, meaning the few who need to charge during that time can just run a town over. (keep in mind that EVs can be charged just less than once a week for average use)

Not necessarily. The same thing (forced closures of factories) was handled gracefully without job losses during the pandemic through various unemployment schemes. I see no reason why the same can't happen again.
How do you build lesson plans around students who don’t have the same textbook?

I think you're underestimating the connections you'll be able to make with other people when you start talking about your first time trying to solo the Deadmines, or the time your guild beat 25-man Lich King, or when you tried to get the Battlemaster pvp achievement.

The whitespace thing is a bug, too.
Or this one: we stop pussy footing around, get our fingers dirty in the war and start bombing the shit out of Russia, with the clear promise that we stop the moment they agree to a peace deal that leaves Ukraine with their country, and the west in control of the oil fields. We will continue to maintain them and we will pay Russia for the gas, minus a percentage fee to help rebuild Ukraine, but there will be no more gas blackmail.

Russia can't defeat Ukraine with Nato weapons. Once the gloves are of they can either take the deal with the international coalition now and get all the money for no work, or become even more of a joke and take the deal later anyway.

No nukes need fly, because we are not an existential threat and Russia cannot do much in a conventional war.

Even if you pay for the product, using SaaS products VS hosting your own software, still puts you under someone else's control. The feature you really needed from them, might be decided that it should be removed, because only 1% of the total users actually used it, and you'll have no recourse.

This has happened time and time again with most SaaS, and will continue to do so, unless some new model arrives where each user can run their own version.
> 1. You can't look for information if you don't know it exists.

You absolutely can. I don't know if there are stats on the number of people who have circumnavigated the globe in an amphibious vehicle, but I can Google it.

I don't know whether the thickness of an electrical cable influences the electromagnetic field it creates, but I can Google it.

You can even Google generic stuff like "do charged particles in the atmosphere exert any force on objects at ground level" and get a survey of the forces.

That only holds true if you assume people are making very specific queries in an unfamiliar domain. It's entirely possible to start with very general queries in an unfamiliar domain and hone in on a specific piece.

It's common in software engineering. I don't understand how databases optimize queries, but I can start with a broad query like "what factors does Postgres use to optimize queries" and slowly hone in on whatever is making my query weird/bad.

Facebook will have a much lower price anyway. Large industries (like steel plants, mining operations, paper mills, saw mills, and, yes, data centers) in Sweden have not been affected yet since they are not normally directly exposed to the spot price due to different price protection strategies[0]. There is no way Facebook pays consumer spot prices. Plus Sweden has the lowest electricity tax in the EU[1] for these companies. They raised it from 0 in 2019 due to EU regulations to 0.005 SEK/kWh. Consumer electricity tax today is 0.45 SEK/kWh including VAT. I believe there is also a way to write off a part of the electricity costs.

That's old information, the Loire is back up to normal levels after the last two weeks of rain, so nuclear power plants should be operating as before.

Not possible by definition.

Economics is about explaining things after the fact, and incapable of prediction.

Therefore, it's all ideology (rock fell on my head, must have offended god of rocks, only logical explanation).

If time exists then there's always a before. Unless at some point time didn't exist. But if time didn't exist and then suddenly something started to tick, that's still a transition from "no time" to "time" and this "no time" was before "time".

These thoughts are driving me crazy. There must be a piece of the puzzle we're missing.

There must be something about time that isn't or wasn't always linear. Otherwise there's no end to the "who created it" question.

It's similar to asking what contains the universe. And what contains the thing that contains the universe.

IIRC Steven Levy, in his now-dated book 'Hackers', begins with the MIT Tech Model Railroad Club, whose members, he wrote, tended to gravitate to one of two groups: those interested in modeling the trains, structures and environment, and those drawn to the track, its signals and controls. One characteristic of the latter group, he says, was taking delight in bringing chaos to meetings through creative use of Robert's Rules.

recursion is one of the possible explanations as well. No beginning, no end.
For utilities, you, the rate-payer, are not the customer. The customers are the politicians and bureaucrats that "regulate" them.

Everything these companies do is about pulling the wool over the ratepayers eyes, so the masses don't complain to the politicians. Did you see the latest ad about how they're working hard to deliver service, and the article about the latest donation they made to some non-profit. The media tells my its all good, so it must be
But that just moves the question. Why has natural gas become more expensive when it has not become more expensive to produce? Furthermore, only 15% of Germany's power production comes from natural gas (https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/germanys-energy-c...) and the market price has "only" tripled in the last year (https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2022/08/25/europes-gas-pr...) while electricity prices have increased over 600%. This is price gouging.
In most places electricity cables are buried. In California they have them blowing around in the trees so they start fires.
Consider that memory is not read-only. Later experiences cause us to reinterpret old and faded memories. We experience such reinterpretations as recall, but they are in fact rewrites. Which is all to say, the vague and unspecific memories of your dream were likely made concrete when images you later observed while awake evoked a similar feeling. At that point it felt like you had seen the place before in a dream, but at any point in time prior if were asked to draw the place from your dream you would have produced something different.

Well, suck it up. This is part of being a parent. You now have to learn a new skill. Being a guardian. Guiding and coaching a human being. Helping them up when they fall down, celebrate their wins. Accompany them in growing up into being a decent adult. That’s not an easy thing to do. You will want to cry and rip your hair out watching them struggle. If you are invested in them and really care. Or you skip that, go off to work and in a couple of years they are out of the house and you won’t have to see them again.

I know this is coming across very harsh and your reality most likely falls somewhere on the spectrum, but I am serious. Your time with your child is not coming back. Every day is a day with something they do for the first time and with some they do for the last time. I hope you take naps with them. It’s the one thing I miss the most.

Remember, nobody ever said on their death bed: I wish I had worked more.

Work will still be there when your kid grows up. And they will, faster then you’ll want them to.

I cope with this by shifting my priorities. I’m a husband first, father second and then some other things, one of them being an employee.

My private time is spend with private things and I have an employer who understands learning is part of the job description, so I am learning on company time.

And I work in a company that is living a culture of “together” instead of some kind of competition.

I have a clear defined career path within my company that I can advance at my own pace.

Of course, since I am not coding 12 hours a day, I don’t expect to ever win a coding Oscar. Good thing, there is none.

Except I'm not hyper-focused on negative reports. I haven't made the claim that only criminals use it.

Other than the instance with Vitalik, and I don't consider him anything of a thought leader so much as some sort of idiot savant, there is no mention of mixers there. And regardless - I don't think the solution is either a panopticon or absolute financial privacy, I think we need to have a mature discussion about this as a society (or set of societies) rather than throwing our toys out of the pram when something utterly predictable like Tornado Cash being sanctioned for money-laundering happens.
Sure, we agree the rich discussions are still there holding a low profile. I even moderate one or two of them.

The challenge is, as soon as you start systematically introducing psyops into a quality discussion, every message becomes suspect and the quality retreats. What would happen if every thread on /r/askhistorians has someone popping in and saying "I see you're talking about the Battle of Gettysburg! Did you know there's an etsy shop you can buy official artifacts over [here]?" And more to the point, how will /r/historians defend against professionals steering discussions about, eg, slavery or the annexation of Tibet or the religious views of the Signers? I am worried.

These don't mean you'd be completely de-risked, but your electricity bill will be a fraction of what it would be otherwise and you'll end up relatively well off.

My district heat comes from a giant heat pump that extracts energy from waste water etc. Some other typical district heat sources are biomass and coal. If it's typical to rely on gas, perhaps check that they have a plan to convert to some other energy sources if needed.
Same in France, electricity prices are capped so hard EDF had to be renationalised due to their massive losses to maintain the cap.

College programs teach both things. Then you go into the working world and it's just not what most people spend much of their time doing, not because of some oversight or deterioration in society or something, but simply because there are more important things to do. And this frustrates a lot of people (especially young people) who loved that part of school and maybe even got into the whole thing because they loved this part of it. Then sometimes those frustrated people (or in order to avoid becoming frustrated), people spend a lot of time on it, even though it's really not the most important thing to work on. And that's fine and all, there are definitely worse things to spend time on, but it also makes sense that a lot of other people spend all their time on the higher priority things.

Choose your heroes carefully. Raoul Pal lost his mind (and the respect of many) when he became a cryptocurrency shill.
To be clear, it makes a ton of sense to ask such a question.

The underlying assumption to the question is why only one thing is allowed to be uncreated .. ? Are there others like them, much like here on Earth where we have many authors writing many books? The Bible doesn't answer those at all, it starts in media res (despite its first three words!)

Yeah but nuclear fuel can be sourced from elsewhere - it does not have the steep physical barriers of nat gas. And any existing nuclear power issues can be solved.

The satellites aren't capable of a small amount of buffering? For text messages it shouldn't take up much space, and a lag on the delivery is better than no delivery at all.
