My experience is mostly that you either upgrade because it has a feature you need (then you try it out fast), if it has some performance or other nice thing (then you go for the .1) or you don't really care then you upgrade when your current version goes EOL or if you upgrade your underlying server OS (if we assume something like Ubuntu LTS, and they'd go with 14 instead of 12 or something).
Depends what “non-expert” means. Because I actually think even if you have an undergraduate knowledge in mathematics then you still may not be able to follow some of his arguments unless you specifically studied mathematical logic. I have a more advanced background in math but not in logic and don’t understand some of his arguments. He sometimes makes loose statements without proof or without providing strong background knowledge to closely follow those things if you don’t already know them. Some of the ZFC stuff I didn’t follow either, but I never really needed to know set theory to the extent Aaronson uses it. I think the statement it’s quite approachable isn’t very accurate. If you want to gloss over it and still get the main idea then it’s good for that but not for rigorously understanding all the mathematical arguments without preexisting background knowledge. It’s between a pop sci book and textbook with a casual tone. It’s a fun book.
One thing to keep in mind is that sometimes the programming language is tied more to a framework that gets more articles.

Regarding the O-1 visa class as a consideration to migrate to the States:

1) What is the threshold for extraordinary? How is extraordinary established?

2) Is there a quota on the number of visas issued per year? Related, is there a quota on the number of visas per country of birth?

I would suggest reading up on how the zero COVID approach taken by the Chinese government has impacted its citizens, and how it’s really very much divorced from any pragmatic notion of saving lives.
> Why should we make exceptions for things like professional opera and professional theatre?

Because that is our cultural heritage and it at least preserves the know-how necessary to perform it.

It's notable that our most prestigious cultural event - the International Chopin Piano Competition - is largely publicly funded.

You can think of it as a form of branding - just applied to entire nations.

> Well-known polish actor (Jerzy Sztuhr) mentioned once that what he liked about Italy is that going to the opera was part of upper middle-class snobbery there.

I happened to have spent four years in Bologna - exactly where Stuhr went in the 80s - and have been in the opera there because my neighbour(old man) had an, ahem, monthly subscription of sorts, which awarded him discounts and he invited me along because his wife couldn't go that time.

Does that strike you as an upper-middle-class thing?

My experience is that especially in Italy people participate in culture much more than around here - it's what makes their national brand strong despite longstanding economic issues.

> At least in my city, most of what is played in my local opera house are foreign operas

Most of the artistic value in opera is the performance which, looking at the cast, is still firmly Polish. Singers often sing in languages that are entirely foreign to them - even if there's a sizeable amount of material written in their own.

That certainly can happen. However, it depends on at least the following assumptions:

* Your perception of your employees' performance is consistent and predictable over time. Not all bosses evaluate based on consistent and predictable criteria.

* Your perception isn't significantly distorted by false beliefs about who has done (or not done) what.

(Needless to say, that's generic 'you', not you specifically.)

If you want, you can say "I hereby define 'good performance' to be any performance that I, the boss, think is good" – but that's just a semantic game.

When you have a systemic shock with unknown impact, rational can still be ultimately wrong.

With a P2P/mesh VPN solution this is pretty standard yes.

But with a traditional VPN it's not. If I transfer a file to a colleague when we're both in the same coffee shop and we're both connected to Global Protect (terrible traditional VPN) it will go all the way to the server and back.

So it's a value prop of the type of VPN. Not the transfer software per se.
Thank You. Swizec and AlchemistCamp. Will have to find time to read it all.
I don't know if that was ever stated as the rationale, but many people inferred that it was.

It's a defensive inference, to defend our belief that authorities wouldn't attempt to solve a crisis by just transferring a trillion dollars from lower rungs on the economic latter directly to higher rungs on the ladder.

We want to believe that the distribution of wealth is caused by individual behavior, that every person deserves their station in life however opulent or impoverished. We want to ignore the systems of power and privilege that exploit the low to further enrich the high.

But PPP strips away even the veneer of fairness and lays bare the brutal mechanics of wealth distribution based on power instead of contribution or merit.

Perhaps the reason PPP was structured as loans instead of grants was to maintain that fig leaf of fairness, to allow us to continue to defend the indefensible.

The connection between the concepts is: if your multi-tenant strategy is to deploy (hopefully only while in active use) an instance per customer, then the additional effort to provide on-site installations is relatively low, compared to other multi-tenant strategies.

Whether on site installs are a good thing to offer, of course depends on how valuable that is to your customers versus the cost/effort to support it.

As you point out there are major trade-offs! If your product architecture requires substantial multi-service complexity per tenant, that points away from the instance per customer strategy.

Ok, you're in Kashmir and don't have a reliable grid. I'm not sure it would make sense to spend the money on a heat pump if you didn't have reliable electricity to operate it (if you had sufficient PV panels, then it might be worth it).

Build It Solar has a ton of DIY projects for improving efficiency and using solar energy in various ways. You might find inspiration there: https://www.builditsolar.com/. In particular, they have plans for a solar collector that's a wood frame box with clear plastic sheeting and window screen material — extremely cheap and simple to build. It provides hot air, and it's best if you can fit a few cheap fans (like 120mm 5v PC fans) into it, powered by a small PV panel. I want to build one of these to heat my garage.

Some of the nice things about air-based solar collectors is that they're cheap, low maintenance, can't leak, and can't freeze. The downside is that storage is harder. If you have enough heat mass inside the house it might not matter, though.

Hi Peter, this is awesome. Thanks!

Say a US employer has about 1000 employees who are all residing in the US (so payroll is only set up to handle US taxes and so forth) because it was all commuters until the pandemic. Now there are many remote employees, and that won't change (i.e., no "return to office" unwinding of remote arrangements) so some are starting to move across the country. No problem.

When a remote employee says they're starting the process of moving to Canada and obtaining Canadian citizenship and prefers to keep their current job, how much effort goes into achieving that on the employer's side? Is it typical to convert their role from employee to contractor as a way to minimize the headache until there are many such employees?

This is true, I tried to make gccrs only have the AST and go from that stright to GCC GENERIC. This had a lot of problems for Rust in my opinion.

Many things in Rust are syntactic sugar and can be handled by desugaring the AST into another IR so you dont even have to think about it in other passes. The main issue for me is how complicate the type inference is.

So if i wanted to use GCC GENERIC for type resolution for this example:

```
let a;
a = 123;
let b:u32 = 1;
a += b;
```

How do you resolve the type of 'a' you must use inference variables and then update the TREE_TYPE as you go so this means walking the tree's over and over again as type information is gathered over time on the inference variable. Using a separate IR and using id's and side tables makes all of this much much more simple for Rust.

> The salient question is what conditions changed in the economy so that they can increase prices.

Agreed.

> If your point is simply that businesses are choosing to maximize profit, that of course is correct.

My point is pedantic and political. I don't like humans being removed from the equation.

Framing inflation as a natural consequence of increasing the money supply is one way to do that.

The widespread thinking that "businesses exist to maximize profits" is another. (Yes, I'm aware of obligations to shareholders in corporations, but that's beside my point.)

Removing humans from the equation makes abuses just palatable enough to go down.

This simply isn't true for, well, every project I've been on. There is always some unique wrinkle in the requirements that means this project needs a different approach.

SAP is the classic example of this: SAP implements vanilla business processes (with lots of flexibility built in). Yet every single business implementing SAP needs extensive customisation and modification to make it fit their business processes. Some have spent millions or tens of millions trying to make SAP fit their business and failed.

In your terms; every business is a snowflake. You cannot create (for example) an order taking system that will fit all businesses. Or even "all businesses for whom order taking is not part of their core business domain". Only "those businesses who are willing and able to make their order-taking process fit your system".

I think you and others in this thread are missing that the proposed mandatory bidding price is a multiple of the "real" value.

So yeah, don't like your new neighbors who just bought a $500k home next to you, you can give them $1.5m (or whatever) to get their house. How are they now worse off exactly?

That family can then probably buy the larger house next to yours for $1m, and have $500k in cash left over. A bank that was willing to give them a loan for a $500k house is less likely to do so when they've got an extra $1m in cash?

The system the authors proposed is mainly intended as a clean way to get rid of things like eminent domain and the holdout problem. Most real estate transactions would take place between "willing" sellers and buyers, just like they do now.
Do you just try to get founders on work visas, or do you go for green cards as well? I know EB2-NIW is a popular path for folks in academia, do you have comments on how easy/difficult each path is?

It isn't free, you price it in day 1. There's a reason thsoe firms pay absurdly high.

Also: Boundaries still apply. When on-call, you deal with being on-call.

For a small firm, 24x7x265 on-call happens, but if you are getting called constantly, it is up to you to get the quality issue and toil fixed.

For a large firm, if I'm put on 24x7x365 call, I'd be asking for a LARGE premium.

If it is once every 5+ weeks, that's supporting prod. You do your week in the rotation... But that doesn't mean you are working hard that week. If anything I'd shorten my hours while on-call, so I have the energy to respond to an emergency.

In my experience, the newest features (I mean those introduced in the last 20 years or so) while nice (and in a very few cases actually useful and used) are anyway "marginal" to most (like 80-90%) Microsoft Office users.

What Office (particularly Word and Excel) can do is usually several times (like 10x or 100x) what the normal, common, user actually needs or knows how to do.

In every normal office there are maybe 1 or 2 people that are "MS Office experts", all the other people use some pre-made template or use Excel and Word as some evoluted form of Calculator+Notepad.

The next section provides some reasoning:

Providing valid information in argv[0] is a convention, not guaranteed. Well-behaved programs that launch other programs, such as shells, follow the convention; your code should follow it too, when launching other programs.

The answer is complex and nuanced unfortunately. You absolutely cannot get compensated by another source unless that compensation/work has been authorized by USCIS. One option is to obtain a concurrent part-time H-1B through your company. This has its own challenges because of the newness of the company and the founder's ownership in and control of the startup. There are however many things that a founder can do in connection with his or her own startup while in H-1B status with another company without crossing the line.
