Not the same temperature, it will not give you a differential like HVAC system can, but it can be substantially cooler than outside and in conjunction with lattices HVAC can be much cheaper as well.

the lattice basically increases surface area by a lot that increases cooling Same concept as a radiator .

The materials are also important , certain types of stone have desirable thermal properties especially the amount of heat they retain .

Instead of being close minded and think all things ancient/eastern are bad and useless (or all good either) why not incorporate the best of all ideas and make cooling efficient and cheaper .

Eco friendly cooling are not, they absolutely a cultural marvel, those intricate designs tell untold stories and a testament to human endeavor.

I had a similar experience in school and definitely agree

> I do think there is a push not to equalize everyone but to actually address individual needs, and those may draw resources from areas like advanced courses

This is a great point and reminds me of the quote "When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression". I definitely got a lot of privileges in school my friends didn't because I got good grades - better choice of classes, counselors will listen to you more, and maybe most of all, teachers seem to care much more about teaching and engaging and not just getting a group of kids they don't think want to learn to pass so they can leave the class.
Primate dominance hierarchies are a bit of a myth.

Many people have this old-fashioned concept that monkeys form social hierarchies based purely on violent domination. It's true that territorial primates are observed to wage war against their neighbors, but many also partake in time-sharing of resources (groups of monkeys taking turns visiting a fig tree, rather than fight over it), and within groups of primates it is actually altruism and caring that promotes an individual to the top, not brute strength.

Or that's what I've been hearing recently.

The thing I read in there that was disappointing was the administration response. However it is a state school so I imagine they don't have the same funding for development of housing on site / not to mention they are located between the SC mountains / protected forest and the ocean. It's a small area without much development space and that land is at a premium.

Feel for the students though.

> Whether it costs money to get CarPlay support in your car is up to its manufacturer. While Apple doesn’t charge automakers a fee for the necessary software to integrate CarPlay, there are some costs associated with meeting the necessary hardware requirements.

The only reason an automaker does not include CarPlay is to try and keep their product from becoming a commodity. It was disappointing to see Toyota be stubborn and refuse CarPlay for so many years.

In 1996, my employer got a contract to work with AT&T to build a website that provided regular event updates from the Atlanta Olympics. In 1996, this was a very big deal, such a newish concept that the project was written up in AdAge or some similar industry magazine.

A few months later a prospective junior engineer came in for an interview. My manager asked him the typical "tell me about an interesting project you've worked on lately." He then proceeded to describe in detail the very project we had just completed, even referencing the magazine article about it (he must have forgotten he was interviewing at the company mentioned in the article). At the end of his presentation, my manager said "That's interesting, because here at X, we just completed that project."

Awkward silence. Then the interviewee got up and said "I guess I should go now." My manager said "Yes, I guess you should."

Impersonation of this sort can be simultaneously disturbing and somehow comical. It isn't a new phenomenon; I'm not decided on whether I believe the information age makes it easier or more difficult.
Are dating apps not prevalent there? A major novelty of dating apps is that it allows you to meet people that are completely removed from your social circle, which sounds like it would be pretty useful in Japan.
I recently got bit by the pinball bug, and while reading this article all I could think about is that maintenance is part of the hobby. And for some it's all the hobby.

Buying a pinball machine is expensive. Prices on used machines range from free to thousands (and ten thousand+ for really in demand ones). After you buy the machine, assuming it works, there's maintenance that occurs on the machine as a direct function of how often the machine is played. Maintaining that machine can be on you for parts and labor, or someone who comes to your home for 100$/hour (or so) +parts. There's no escaping the labor. You have to do it, or the pinball machine stops working. The maintenance ranges from simple cleaning this and that, all the way to removing components from boards, and rewiring destroyed traces.

I love this about the hobby, and it's probably my favorite part. I like maintaining the machines probably more than I like playing them.

Supply side effects of the Berlin rent freeze

Abstract - We find rent decreases accompanied by decreases in supply five times as large. We further investigate spillover effects on the purchase market, regionally heterogeneous effects as well as different effects by dwelling characteristics. We find the rent freeze did not have spillover effects on dwellings for sale which point to a ‘wait-and-see-attitude’ on the investors’ side. We make use of a rich dataset of real estate advertisements and employ hedonic difference-in-difference and triple-difference estimation strategies.

Eh, don't bet on it. What if #2 was real, and #1 was someone stalking #2? Or an abusive ex?

If #2 doesn't get the the potential job, they could come after you for all sorts of things - emotional damages, economic damage (from not getting the job), etc. They might even be able to get the court to force you to give them the job, or at least waste years of your time and mental health dealing with legal hassles.

That said, I'd encourage you to still review the candidate as you would any other. I try to give all folks the benefit of the doubt, even if I don't entirely agree with this particular practice. They may have some bright spots in the code you're actually able to check out. It's a great topic for conversation if you choose to have a call with them as well.

Honestly, this has been happening for decades, long before remote work was a 100% thing. If they lie you fire them plain an simple. Company needs to do its due diligence, and the fact that complaints like this keep coming up trying to drive a corruptive narrative instead of performing due dilligence is just stupid, and that's on the company.

Trying to characterize having the camera off as being a nefarious tactic because you can't see them working is beyond asinine. There are many good reasons to have the camera off while working.

One being you are there to do work, you are being paid to do the work. One thing video has never gotten right inherently is the whole eye contact part of a video chat.

When you don't look directly at someone (the angle is wrong) while you are communicating its a non-verbal sign of disrespect or in-congruence, and it causes non-verbal communication issues regardless of intent.

The camera has never adjusted your eye angle, so you will always have that issue of people distrusting those communicating over video to a lesser or greater degree. With a flat picture and a phone call, you don't have that. You focus on the work and get things done.

If the candidate misrepresented their expertise, fire them.

If they aren't doing the work, fire them.

If they plain just aren't working out for other reasons, fire them! (after due dilligence).

I don't see why you have to bemoan your lack of due dilligence and instead blame it on something ludicrous like anyone with the camera off is doing this (when they aren't).

Lets call this plug what it is, you want to surveil your employees like a micro manager instead of actually doing due diligence (i.e. the job of hiring).

Seriously how hard is it to just fire someone that's a new-hire?

Its a new position, if it doesn't work out, hire someone else, and terminate the temporary contract with the appropriate legal clause and time periods.

Most work is an 'at will' position, so as an employer, if they lied, use that and 'fire at will'.

Excessively surveilling your employees while they do work only does one thing, and that's drop productivity through the floor. Not only that, it shows serious deficits in Upper Management, and any skilled/experienced candidates will walk away from positions with redflags like that.

You either want work to get done, or you just want to pretend that while doing something else.

What's your actual priority, making money and doing the job (due dilligence is part of that), or watching your employees work in minutia and spinning a narrative. You can't have both.
You're not alone, I use noscript on firefox for exactly that. It makes some websites unusable, but for normal browsing, that's what I use. If the website is unusable after allowing a few scripts, then I don't want to be there. It is horrifying when you see how much JS some websites try to pull in.

It always amazed me how insistent clients were on specific people but also slow to sign contracts as if it was possible for us to hold heads for 6 months while they decided to greenlight a project. That's really on feasible if you pay them to be on the bench, or you deal with us not starting for 3-6 months after you greenlight."

Other thing that amazed me was clients dictating when we had heads active versus not. Generally I'd go for a right shifted gradual increase and sharp tail off. But many of our contracts wanted "all heads down" on day one. They also refused to do a shorter term in parallel design contract while we were negotiating.

Essentially their requirements were forcing us to burn money with idle hours.
Making maintenance easier requires a fair amount of industry-wide standardization and interoperability, and many corporations view this a threat to their market share and hence, profitability. This has been widely seen in the computer industry over the years, although the long-term conclusions might oppose the short-term view, i.e. while at first the closed-system strategy might succeed, in the long term having an open-system approach will bring in customers who've been burned in one way or another by the closed-system world.

A particular example I'm very familiar with is bicycles - they're fairly easy to maintain and work on relative to automobiles (no fluids, not much electronics until recently etc.). Ideally a bicycle can be maintained easily and replaced piecemeal from a wide variety of suppliers, i.e. everything is swappable and there are no non-standard parts, such as weirdly threaded bottom brackets or non-standard axle widths. Some companies have tried to do things like that - I think Shimano made an integrated brake lever/gear shifter for a while, whereas most bikes allow you to replace each item separately. For example, if your bicycle frame breaks, you should be able to remove all the parts and install them on a roughly similar frame, even from another manufacturer.

As far as deliberately making repair more difficult in the hopes that people would toss their old devices and buy new ones, there's good evidence for that with Apple, such as the introduction of pentalobe screws for no other plausible reason than making repair require specialized tools (IFixit's comprehensive screwdriver kit is nice in that regard).

The solution is once again, governmental regulation and agreement on certain standards, for example requiring a standard USB-C connection for all phones sold in a given market, etc.
This always reminded me of PHP’s infamous register_globals. For those unfamiliar, anything in the ‘$_REQUEST’ array (which itself comprises of $_POST, $_GET, and $_COOKIE merged together) is added to the global scope. So if you made a request to index.php?username=root, $username would contain “root” unless it was explicitly initialized it before it was used.
Everybody wins until the tax man comes knocking for all of the dollars owed, or when "Connor Tumbleson" gets flagged as a terrible employee when all those copy-pasted qualifications don't line up with reality and the work is mediocre. As reported elsewhere in these threads, the credentials and interview process are all worked out upfront, the interview no long becomes a valid test of qualifications for the position.

This entire scam can be done entirely legally by subcontracting the work to your foreign friend, if your clients allow for that; if the end result is of decent enough quality then I don't see why they wouldn't. You'd be on the hook if they mess up, but the same is true when you lie to your friend's employers.

However, these people choose not to go the legal route, instead relying on lies and fraud. They go as far as to hire others to do part of their lying just to get into a company.

Personally, I'd call the authorities the moment I'd find out an employee of mine has been lying about their qualifications and experience from the very first day to fake it through the interview. You cannot trust someone whose entire career is built on top of lies, or someone who actively enables such behaviour.

I'm not sure if these people are a small step up from the call center scammers because at least they deliver something or a small step down because they're supposedly capable enough to do better. I'm sympathetic to the third world programmers that have the capabilities to earn some of the absolutely insane wages American programmers get paid, but I completely oppose the large-scale fraud these lying-as-a-service middlemen employ to make money.

I think the big difference here is that it doesn't really matter if someone isn't athletic. A school can have 10 kids for an amazing basketball team and 990 that are terrible at basketball and it doesn't affect anything, but if you have 10 geniuses and 990 kids that can't read then it's a huge negative for society

I'm sympathetic to this viewpoint, but (a) Boomers aren't dying quickly enough and (b) we're talking about student housing. A litter fewer than 20k students attend UCSC:

Which suggests UCSC should either cut enrollment or build housing. They have suitable land for the latter. If they can't build housing due to legal restrictions, they could cut enrollment. Those are the realistic options.

In order to reason about the quality of the rational approximation, you need to reason about the irrational number it's an approximation to, for example as a Dedekind cut. Wildberger, rightly or wrongly, doesn't trust reasoning about that sort of thing; he wants to ground everything in the rationals. Maybe he's worried about finding some equivalent of Russell's barber paradox in the irrationals.

Also, of course, irrational numbers don't allow you to extend trigonometric theorems to Galois fields, complex numbers, and so on, which to my mind is a much more interesting direction. I don't know how much you lose if you use Wildberger's construction into a division algebra like the quaternions.

I don't actually know how you compute the "angle sum" in terms of Wildberger's spreads, but I'm pretty confident that there's a way to compute it, and it's pretty simple.

In the unit-vector representation I described, angle-sum is not just simple addition, but it's really not that bad: (a + bi)(c + di) = (ac - bd) + (ad + bc)i. That's four real multiplications, an addition, and a subtraction, and the result is exact if computed in bignums or bignum rationals. This is usually cheaper than computing sine and cosine, especially if you can use SIMD or vectors, and of course if you want to rotate some points around a center, you end up having to multiply by the sin and cos in exactly the same way anyway. (Maybe in strength-reduced fashion if you're texture-mapping or something, but that applies just as well to representing the angles as sin and cos.)
I have the same issue. I just sent an email to the admin about it.
I hate the way people say "relationship" as if it's a singular data point. Sex is a relationship. Business is a relationship. Friendship is a relationship. Romance is a relationship. Treating several days points as one data point gives us really poor data.

Thankfully, a lot of the data in the article is explicitly about "sexual experience". Even so, there is still the loaded question, "Do you want a relationship?" That's just too vague. How can we learn what people's goals are if we aren't willing to ask?

All we know boils down to two data points: fewer people are pursuing traditional marriage, and fewer people are having sex.

That's not enough to answer the interesting questions. We can't learn what obstacles people have if we don't know their goals.
>You should be running a multi-billion $ Quant fund if this is the case.

You seem to underestimate the level of effort and rigor required to achieve this level of capital allocation. In contrast, beating the market by 20% is table stakes. Folks in the industry do it all the time; the difference here simply is that I built an ML-powered engine to do it systematically.
Considering Japanese culture, I'm not surprised. This is what happens when you have super-conservative social values backed up by a strong pressure to conform. Few people are willing to take a risk or convey honest feelings, and both of those things are inherent in a romantic relationship.
