Find the deaths. We'd love to see better research.

> hypervigilance around nuclear is the only thing stopping monthly chernobyls

A few airliners caused thousands of deaths and billions of dollars of damage. Turns out that a lot of our infrastructure is dangerous. You should learn about dams!

But this is a reason to double-down on nuclear. Pretty much every existing reactor is bespoke because we didn't build all that many and technology was being developed the whole time. And they're still safer than everything else. Volume building would let us improve our design and perfect our execution.

> Bringing up the opioid epidemic makes that point pretty clearly.

Yes, virtue-signalers are the biggest problem in both cases. In nuclear it's the "green" fear mongering and in the opioid epidemic it's the "compassionate" free-drugs movement.
> The people who picked Palin as their first choice threw away their second choice.

You don't get to rank a bunch of choices and then claim your vote didn't get counted because every one of your choices didn't win the election. People who picked Palin as their #1 choice won against Begich. Their vote went to Palin exactly as they wanted. Palin lost, but the voter who put Palin first voted for the person they wanted and that vote was counted.

Voting for a losing candidate does not mean throwing your vote away or not having your vote counted.
Well, the vast majority of Europe builds concrete homes. We definitely get insulation, internal plumbing and wiring.

The U has a 100kW reactor TRIGA reactor. It's at the western side of the Merrill Engineering Building (as well as decommissioned 1 or 5 Watt (IIRC) reactor from the ~50s that migrated over there from physics building at one point).

The reactor was not particularly common knowledge in mid-2000s, even among engineering students. It became a bit more common knowledge later for various reasons (apparently it was in the news now when I tried to google the 1/2 watt reactor - so I couldn't find much on that now)

Config could be put into a database and queried while code doesn't have a sensical database representation.

Even when config is code (which is almost guaranteed to happen as a config requiring system is developed), at some point in the process there is a representation that could be meaningfully stored in a columnar database before it's consumption.

Code is generally considered stateless, asking for an input and providing an output that is determined only by the code and the input. Embedding state inside of code is generally a pretty grievous sin, although some places are vastly more sinful than others.

Social Media Updates Every Business Owners Should Know
Is your business already on social media? Are you using videos in your marketing campaigns? Then you'll be interested in these latest updates from TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube!

Instagram Story - videos under 60 seconds in stories will no longer be split into segments

TikTok - announced a huge increase in its video descriptions from 150 to 200 to now 2,200 characters

YouTube - outlines new monetization program for Shorts Creators

Short-form videos are exploding! And so the battle of the big players in the video industry begins.

Invent something better if you know how. For many people chemo is their hope and in many cases does wonders by itself or in combination with other methods, either in parallel or in succession.
That is precisely my point...
I have the feeling this guy was serious. If for no other reason than that he stopped responding. I feel like if it was a joke he would’ve kept responding and dialing up the ridiculousness. He also seemed pretty authentically earnest.

There are a bunch of people in American gun culture who are obsessed with “preparedness”. Some of these people may have a kernel of reason (maybe they live in a rough neighborhood and have a small sidearm that they hope they never have to use). But any culture like this has its exemplars, people who fixate on preparing for outlandishly rare severe scenarios, but lack the competency to actually do so properly.

Like, if this guy was actually dealing with violence at his workplace regularly or even once a year, he wouldn’t be talking in the future conditional tense (“if there’s an incident cops will let us…”, “I’m worried that someone might try to…”), he’d be talking in the present progressive tense (“when there’s an incident the cops usually tell us we can…”, “When someone tries to shoot me I generally…”).

In all likelihood he’s a mall cop in a town that probably has very little gun crime but had one tragic shooting 10 years ago, and he has become obsessed with being prepared for the next one.
I was actually wondering if someone could explain where that cost increase is coming from. I know the design rules get more complicated as the process node shrinks, but I thought most of those design rules are essentially “taken care of”, because customers use building blocks from the foundry that already have those design rules baked in? And it’s still using the same software I thought?
In the interim, our drawn-out XRP price prediction for 2022 is bullish since it can't break the help level. We can anticipate that XRP should reach $0.7000 this year.

> This isn't crypto. You didn't own any crypto. Some company owned your crypto. The whole point of crypto is that you can own it (ie you and only you have your keys).

> We hear stories here every now and then about how their bank/paypal/etc froze their money and they are fucked. Crypto allows you to actually own your stuff. With fiat unless you hold cash, you can't do that. Crypto is about being trustless.

It's funny how you write "with fiat it unless you hold cash, you can't do that". So what you mean is really with fiat you can do it just as well? The reason why people don't want to hold large amount of cash is convenience, the possibility of it getting stolen, lost... Interestingly many of the same reasons why people don't want to hold crypto themselves either.
FAT32 can even be used with larger sizes if you just format with a larger cluster size. Since each bundle/shard is 1MB minimum that is not a problem here.
Reflections on the 32-hour Work Week at Codecov
Most people think it's the people that are special or underperforming, but my view is probably a bit more contrarian. I think that some environments work in such a way that only a few can succeed while others make success possible in a network effect or on more manageable scale. I don't think that environments that produce the former really mean to; rather I think it's the leaders that are unable to craft incentive systems, pool resources, or effectively communicate that end up creating these kinds of ecosystems. It's really a fundamental misunderstanding of the people part of the job, which turns out to usually be the hardest.

The implication to me is that you need to write something down when you deport someone, and this is one of the things that get written down.

It's not just about crypto, it's about who is allowed to use inside information.

Celsius was a scam, if something seems too good to be true then it is. The same applies to LUNA and it's Anchor protocol which was giving 20% APY on the UST stablecoin. We saw what happened there.

> That's why the whole [fiat] system works -- because of the threat of violence.

> Crypto doesn't have that ... for now.

Subtle!

The word violence has many euphemisms, but you are using the word violence here as a euphemism for the power of the state to enforce its laws. You can argue about the laws themselves (as we all do) but to not enforce the law is anarchy.
I am glad that when enough students complain....something is done about it.

> I'd much rather buy an EQE, an i4, or an e-tron (or if I can ever afford it, a Taycan Turbo S).

A comparison of what it would cost me locally to get these cars (base cost):

Tesla model 3: From $55k, 455 km range

Tesla model Y: From $58k, 488 km range

BMW i4: From $65k, 470 km range

Mercedes-Benz EQE: From $85k, 525 km range

Audi e-tron: From $131k, 365 km range

Porsche Taycan Turbo S: From $276k, 560 km range

---

Of these, the e-tron is overpriced, even compared to non-electric Audis.

I'd be happy to own any of these. But you're mentioning 18-38% more expensive cars (disregarding Taycan; Taycan should be compared to Tesla Roadster: $211k, 997 km range).

The Tesla selling point for me is a highly competitive range and the most beautiful interior (subjective, but alternatively: most simple) at the lowest cost among these luxury electric cars.

> Tesla is a software company that decided to build cars

Companies that realise they're a software company when software is at their core have an edge.

Insurance companies, for example, should be wise to do the same.

On June 12 ‘22, Cardano launched an important update on the testnet — an alpha version of the EVM sidechain. In this essay, we will be discussing how this will affect the development of the crypto universe and society as a whole.

The launch of the long-awaited update is a bridge to the decentralization and interoperability of cryptocurrencies, as well as the spread of the blockchain in our daily lives. Currently, developers can write or run already created DApps in the Solidity language on Cardano, a platform that uses a lot less energy than PoW blockchains. The blockchain itself will become more accessible to people around the world, and its users in the future will receive more freedom and rights to manage their own funds.

I remember coming across a video of a product from Europe where the entire wall assembly is sold as one piece (outer wall, insulation, inner wall). I'm not sure if this type of product is common in Europe.

If you then have wire conduits and junction boxes built-in, you are a lot closer to a livable home. Perhaps floor assemblies with hookups for plumbing.

I'm not sure why these things aren't standardized to be the point of plug-n-play. A lot less work for the tradespeople maybe.
Lessons from “Borgen”: On Working with Politicians
I guess prosecutors won't be as willing to offer a possession plea deal to people caught running an illegal trafficking operation. AFAIK, most of the people in jail for possession, are there due to a plea deal after being caught for something much worse.
I don’t know which “those people” you refer to but I don’t share your views of any subset of people and that was my point.

I don’t want anyone extradited, I don’t have any expectation that people without permanent resident status are charged with conspiracy or otherwise predisposed to some exemption from this.
What "business secrets" did Valve hide?
There's a general pattern, not just with crypto. It happens all the time.

Group A makes a bold claim. Group B thinks it over, finds issues, and comes back to A with objections they need to address for B to agree.

A does not address them to B's satisfaction, or maybe just ignores them, and repeats the original claim. B objects again. A repeats the claim or adds new claims B also objects to.

After a few rounds of this, B becomes exasperated and stops giving a compete rebuttal. The longer it goes on, the shorter and more flippant B's responses get.

At some point B decides that A is acting in bad faith. Since their objections haven't been addressed, B starts to combat the claim. They reject it out of hand with no apparent effort to consider it, make aggressive counterclaims, and openly question A's motives.

New members of A, who may have never made the claim before or heard the objections, see B's immediate hostility and think they never gave the claim a chance. Some elements of A encourage this misunderstanding and make new claims that B is biased.

B sees this as further evidence of A's bad faith and starts to openly attack the group, not just their claims. A continues to say B is hostile and unfair, and also keeps making the claim.

Eventually it's just a giant mess of different subgroups at different points in this cycle and no more discussion can happen.

And the mess is hugely magnified if A or B or both are really full of bad-faith actors.
I really don't get why Google doesn't have the option to serve these requests from the website's domain (maybe even using a random subdomain each time).

Do you have a particular CS or math topic that you want to study? Is there a book that you tried, that was too bottom-up?

If it's in an applied area, like calculus or statistics, there are usually plenty of books that skip the theory and simply give you recipes to use. If it's a more theoretical area then the theory is presumably why you came, so of course they aren't going to skip it. It's also common to study application-style first, then theory later. So first you take "calculus", then "intro to analysis" which is the same topics as calculus but with the proofs done carefully, and then a more theoretical and abstract approach to analysis.

If you start with an abstract textbook, you'll see a bunch of definitions and axioms at the beginning that might make the book feel self-contained like you can start from nothing, but in practice you are supposed to know the basics of the topic before you start such a book. Otherwise you will have a hard time. That might be the difficulty you've encountered.
IIRC, Strassen's algorithm is less stable, so it isn't just a "if the matrix is big enough, go for it" sort of thing, necessarily... although, I've never looked into exactly where the issue shows up.

I wonder how well it parallelizes.

OpenGL is officially deprecated on all of Apple's platforms, and seems unofficially deprecated from Kronos; the last update to the standard was 4.6 in 2017. It will keep working (at least on most non-Apple platforms) for a long time still, but it's not going to necessarily give you access to everything your hardware can do.

That's not to say it's not the "way to go", but it's not in a great state.

Fingerprinting systems with TCP source-port selection
Always caution someone who wants to follow in this research:
When somebody promotes a fast algorithm there is often a catch. In this case the issue is numerical stability. There is a theorem that states that any algorithm for n-by-n matrix-matrix multiplication that is componentwise forward stable (as good as it gets in this situation) much necessarily use n^3 scalar multiplications. The authors will therefore waste their time if they carry out their plans and try to optimize for stability. The standard algorithm has the nice property and no faster algorithm can have this property. The question of fast matrix multiplication was raised recently on mathoverflow.net, see https://mathoverflow.net/q/421304/110176 and the answers given there.

It's funny you can say that about pretty much anything. If it's not cash on yourself it's not your money, or all sort of other assets where ownership is essentially backed by the government. The issue with all these crypto schemes is, people want to get rid of government oversight when it's inconvenient for them (e.g. have to pay taxes) but otherwise still want the government to guarantee ownership of actual physical assets, because it would be pretty inconvenient to loose the mansion you bought with all the crypto gains.
