Anecdotal - I took over a small, ill maintained Splunk installation at $JOB-2 and reworked it following Splunks current best-practices and it ran like a top as of when I left that place. Having done that process I'm fully convinced that if you're going to run Splunk on-prem you need a dedicated sysadmin for it that knows Splunk's stack. And that kind of person isn't cheap to hire or keep in that role.
My guess is there is a TON of scamming related to crypto. All those comments on Twitter or YouTube (for example) pretending to be someone important trying to get people to send a little to get a lot as a “bonus for readers” or something like that.

Plus scam coins, etc.

It’s probably far easier for them to just say “none of that” until it gets easier to tell the good from the bad.
I've worked on a commercial project owing much success to Elm. And another commercial project in Elm with no problems. And completed and/or launched a few side projects in Elm. Elm is great for many people.
Note that the NYTimes article specifically mentioned it was largely premeds who complained. From my experience teaching o-chem, the premeds were always the pushiest. Probably because they need the A for medical school.

Also Maitland Jones has a very good reputation as a teacher.
I'm sorry you're so traumatized by a handful of experiences, and seemingly at only one or two places, that you can't comprehend a workplace or institution with a reasonable security team. They exist. Maybe one day you'll find one.

One of my former employers has developers, network admins and security professionals working together to maintain a deployment pipeline using Github, terraform and AWS to let developers do as much as possible without having to request anything from security, ever. All the guardrails and checks are built in. Labs get to deploy just about anything, test and prod are identical, and prod has implicit restrictions on requiring encryption for data, prohibiting excessively powerful roles, and so on. But they've worked directly with development to get them everything they need ahead of time, in order to make IT and the business as effective as possible.

Security is necessary, and good security does what it can to stay out of the way.

KJG had Type 2 Diabetes for some time now, due to bad nutrition - he mentioned that he would excessively drink coke and eat junk food as he drew, and he drew a lot.

This isn't some widowmaker heart attack stuff that people are pushing here. He was in danger zone for awhile. Watching an interview with him would be monumentally insightful.

Tailscale saves time in this. It does things like busting through NATs for you to get the VPN established, useful when on varying networks with the laptop, but yeah it is a wireguard VPN after that.

It almost doesn't. Computers are now cheap enough and developers mobile enough that it holds through all of the developing world, and most of the underdeveloped world.
If you can’t cover the courses materials in a semester then split the course into multiple different classes. Most collages have 2 or more Calculus courses, but you can also pull various aspects of multiple classes into a single introductory one.

There is if you are missing more than 10% and trying to make extrapolations. Also, there is variations between individuals between tests. You’d need to make multiple samples to reduce noise from the test itself.
Does your project have a policy of compiling and running (and e.g. tests passing) at EVERY commit?

I can't imagine being able to easily enforce that without asking people to edit the correct part of their commit. It's maybe more difficult with gitlab/github interfaces where changing the middle of a sequence of commits will not render very well, but in email based workflows it works fine.

On the other hand, being able to bisect a project without having to worry about whether an unrelated issue is causing you to traverse the wrong branch of the bisect is an enormous advantage compared to the minimal effort required of keeping track of a modified (rebased) commit in the middle of a set of commits under review.

> As for the inevitability, organic chemistry, at least as it's currently taught, is hard, involving a mix of memorization and problem solving (see today's Nobel Prize coverage if you want a greater sense of why). The memorization can be compared to committing dozens of flow charts to your brain, as each type of reaction will need different conditions and catalysts depending on the precise nature of the starting materials. Armed with that memorization, people are then ready for problem-solving: figuring out which combinations of reactions will build simple raw materials into a complex chemical like an antibiotic or polymer.

This "organic chemistry is hard" idea gets trotted out pretty frequently. The paradox is that premeds also need to take classes in physiology, which in involves a lot of... you guessed it - memorization. Maybe more memorization.

That said, there are as many ways to teach this course as there are teachers. I suspect some emphasize memorization because that's the easiest kind of knowledge to test for. But when approached conceptually, organic chemistry requires little more memorization than any serious scientific topic.

> nor that they have an once of ethics

It still find it odd that people think large corporations actively engage in ethics in any other capacity than for PR and manipulating public opinion. I have never in my life seen anything other than the smallest of private companies make a decision based on "ethical" reasons where there was a competing financial reason. Can you recall, over your entire career, where a product decision was made for ethical (rather than purely PR or legal) reasons? I have witness several companies where bringing up ethical concerns about company behavior ultimately leads to termination.

The most obvious example of this non-ethical nature of corporations is record companies bringing up the "unethical" behavior of piracy. It's not like the heads of these companies had a big ethics meeting and decided "hey piracy is not ethical, we need to fight it!" or otherwise they would have also been like "and... next on the agenda is the unethical profiting of black musicians in the 50s and 60s, we should start cutting some checks now since that was clearly wrong."

Ethics is a social construction, created by participants in a society, as a way of organizing and regulating behavior. Ethics is subtle, flexible and perpetually evolving. We as a collective can develop and evolve our ethics overtime, but the essential part is that everyone is playing the same game.

Corporations are not playing the game at all, "ethics" from the view of a corporate entity is just another tool they can use to manipulate public opinion, but they don't participate in the ethics game.

The problem is that they participating in society in an asymmetric way. They want everyone else to adhere to an ethical system when interacting with them, but consider themself completely outside the realm of ethics.

When normal humans decide that they do not want to participate in the ethics game there are consequences ranging from mild chastisement to complete estrangement from society depending on the degree one individual refuses to participate in the ethical system of the larger society.

This is not to say corporations are evil, but that are absolutely amoral in that they are not participating the moral and ethical game. Bears are amoral in the same way. We don't expect bears to make ethical decisions, but when they habitually violate the ethical code of the humans they interact with, they are usually put down as a threat to society.
Good questions. Just the first question is a rabbit hole on its own.
How much nuclear fuel (lets focus on uranium) is left on Earth ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_uranium
Looks like there is uranium everywhere, including under your feet. There is more uranium than gold for instance.
The question is about cost to extract. The more you spend the more you find. And the more you look and the more you find.
"As of 2017, identified uranium reserves recoverable at US$130/kg were 6.14 million tons (compared to 5.72 million tons in 2015)".

Then on the other hand, it depends on how much uranium we use. "LWRs only consume about half of one percent of their uranium fuel while fast breeder reactors will consume closer to 99%. Currently, more than 80% of the World's reactors are Light Water Reactors (LWRs)."

So moving to fast breeder reactors would essentially live us with enough uranium for hundreds of years.
Interesting. There is a lot more ashpalt here, in Canada. I suspect it is due to frost, and "frost greaves", which can buckle and damage even concrete roads.

Asphalt is cheaper, and replaced more often, so degradation due to frost greaves and such is not as fiscally damaging.

But my entire point is, by placing sensors during normal resurfacing, it literally is a small task.
I hate the way it looks

> It seems like a pretty strange position to just assume that the government is always right.

Big cases against big companies are different. Since the company will have (nearly) unlimited resources to fight, the FTC will only bring a case if they're pretty sure they can win, otherwise it will be a big waste of money all around.

It's really not anything like the police arresting people.

That was a reference to google filtering their presented results instead of being driven more by search results, as they advertise that they are.

That sentence was a nod to the accusations against Zuckerberg for stealing the original code for FB.

Of course, this was all presented in the context of the prodigiously productive Donald Knuth for your reading enjoyment. In this way, the comment was meant to show though tongue-in-cheek how great Knuth is for Comp-Sci. It was not an attempt to drag any company through the mud. That happens without me.

I've seen three scenarios where most of a class has low numerical scores

1. The instructor has difficulty calibrating the difficulty of the assignments because it's all so easy to them now.

2. The instructor is interested in having a high ceiling so the truly gifted can distinguish themselves, usually using a generous curve to not screw over the competent but average students.

3. The class is beyond the current capability of the students.
Practice is the only way to learn language and math, subjects which children are initially wholly ignorant of before learning through practice.
In an academic context, where the institution is supposedly setting admission requirements, prerequisites for courses, etc. - and final grades are effectively published, as the institution's professional opinion on the student's qualifications - no, sorry. There are plenty of better ways to teach that lesson, which do not screw up the public grading metrics.
Some cities have started implementing Bus Rapid Transit [0] for these longer journeys, which are buses with fewer stops and a requirement that you buy the ticket before you board (or use contactless payment). This gets you lots of the travel-time advantages of rail without having to build out the infrastructure. These can interchange with slower, stopping buses to provide a comprehensive transit network.

> It's fine to be ageist against someone who is 84 years old. There are severe cognitive declines that almost no one avoids at that age. It is irresponsible to hire an 84 year old for any important job.

Would you turn down getting lectures from Donald Knuth even if he's older than dirt?

Using age as one tool to understand a complicated world with incomplete information seems fair, but I think you have to judge the individual on their own merits and abilities or you can miss out.

“fake news” is can very easily be abused to mean “news that doesn’t agree with my world view”.

Maybe it's just my liberal arts education but discussions like this and comments like "hypothesis H1’ ... that yields a high probability for the evidence P(E|H1’)" or "evidence strongly supports H1/H1’ vis-à-vis H0" mean absolutely nothing to me without a concrete, real-world example of what H1, H1', and H0 are.
The lifespan is 10-15 years depending on the model. Most people were at moderate risk, unfit, drinking alcohol, poor exercise, high stress job ...etc. For moderate risk 10-15% is the stat over a 5 year period. Most where moderate a few, 2 I think, were low and we had a few high and one very high risk given he'd possibly already had a small heart attack.

Also note that you didn't take into consideration that the device is used for all in the office so over the 5 years it's cost must be divided by the number of employees it will cover which in this case was around 12.

Again your Meteor comparison was extremely poor. You are comparing something that is very common, a middle aged person having heart attack, to something extremely uncommon a similar demographic being hit by a meteor. Also to note that you can't say it it £250 to protect from a meteor strike it would likely be extremely expensive to protect an office from that versus the insanely cheap £1100 to almost guarantee that any of us survive a heart attack.

I've eddited to show the actual lifespan of the AED which is 10-15 year

The Pixel 7 and 7 Pro double down on Tensor-fueled features
has the SAT gotten way easier on recent decades or have students just gotten that much smarter or better at taking it, and universities gotten a lot stricter about accepting students with lower scores?

one of the commenters in the linked article mentions that their son, with an SAT score of over 1500, was rejected by a number of normal state universities such as the University of Texas at Austin (a great school but not like an ivy league exclusive school)

in 1995 I went to university of Texas, they had a policy of automatically accepting anyone with a score over 1200 without any additional requirements. many of my peers were accepted with far lower scores. Now, according to collegesomply.com, the average SAT score for students at University of Texas is 1350

I haven't really been following the evolution of this test, but have scores risen dramatically over the last could decades, and why?

Everything in TFA is speculation. Not a shred of empirical evidence is ever mentioned. Despite all of that, I'm sure many pseudo-intellectuals will viciously argue in support of the headline on social media like the idiots they are.
