How many people in their tweens to 40th have ever filled the roles they were talking about? That's the only timeframe this argument would make sense to me.

I really can't see their comment as bigoted as you claim. There really is a strong selection bias with people filling these roles at that age and them behaving like that.
That's doesn't mean that people in that age braket are always corrupt, but people that have been in these roles for extended periods of time generally are corrupt.

Depending on how strict we want to be, Magnus himself has been caught "cheating" in online chess games before too:

I left a short while ago now. Through savings, reinvesting, and some reckless market timing, I have enough that I don’t have to work.

It turned out better than I could have hoped. I eat a proper breakfast every morning. I get 8.5 hours of sleep. I spend my time reading, listening to podcasts, and spending more time with family than ever before.

It’s helped me understand that hard work has maybe 30% to do with success. 70% is luck, and depending on which company you’re at, that 70% is mostly politics and some luck.

It sounds like I’m living a dream, but I’m still emotionally and physically recovering from my previous job. Im not a religious person, but I pray that company gets shutdown by the government, and it’s sociopath executives are thrown into jail.
Pollsters know that, so they phrase questions to avoid the issue, like:

Yeah, I was there in the height of the heatwave 3 years ago. Walking and transit was fine.
Point is they havent made people’s lives easier since so many still need to drive cars. Barcelona is anything but a good example of how things should be.
The idea that you can drive your car to my street, generating noise and contamination and park it there using space, where the kids could be playing, just because you can't be bothered to take a bus is kind of tyrannical too, in my opinion. And it has nothing of utopian.
A layoff is an elimination of a position often because of economic issues. After the layoff is done, that position is gone.

Letting someone go because of performance doesn't remove the position and it can be filled again.

If the company is realizing that there are people who are just coasting and not doing work and that they're not getting fired previously because it really is a pain and paperwork to fire someone and they want to let those low performers go but not eliminate the position, this is the way to go about it.

Microsoft's old stack rank wasn't a layoff - it was a cold hearted "people who aren't preforming get let go."

Stripe is recognizing that they've got people coasting and not contributing at the expected level. Somewhere an estimate was made that the lowest performing staff based on manager ratings aren't matching the actual performance. If someone is let go for performance (severance or no - that isn't part of the calculation), that position remains and can be filled again. If it was a layoff, then that position would be eliminated after the person was laid off.
It’s true there doesn’t seem to be evidence Niemann cheated OTB. But he did cheat online so it’s hard to be sympathetic.
It already has zkrollups, which run zkapps off-chain but store their state and the proofs on chain. That multiplies Ethereum's transaction capacity by an order of magnitude or two, without losing any security.

Long-term, Ethereum might implement it natively, but right now the tech is advancing so fast that they're happy having multiple layer-2 systems doing it.
I'm living in Barcelona, I don't own a car (and hopefully never will need to) and I'm a fan of getting rid of cars in downtown areas. But there are few downsides. Horrible pollution while they are making them, due to street closures (I'm right next to a new one under construction and I've never experienced air pollution this bad in my 20 years here. It's horrible walking my kids to school. And it will be a 9 month construction job). Also once the superblocks are built, crime increases (no traffic ie witnesses) and rents increase (pedestrian friendly area!). This has happened in other superblock areas near me.
Why can't there be a group-level setting that allows me to designate any Markdown file in any of the repos in the group as the group-level readme? You could even make a filename such as GroupReadme.md a reserved name that can only be used once in a group. I could also see someone possibly wanting to move that file -- and it's history -- to another repo as a group matures: you start with repos like "API" and "WebUI" but eventually a "Docs" repo could be created as proof of concept solidifies and accumulates personnel and ceremony.
Oh I have, I've visited, and I've even lived in those places and gone without a car.

No more. Public transport is horrible, and I'll never again agree to live in a place without private transport. It doesn't have to be a car - but it needs to be exclusively under my control, and it needs to be close to my front door.

And I don't care that I'm getting non-stop downvotes for my posts in this thread, someone needs to speak to reality rather than utopian dreams. I don't care about the votes, but it's prettyu uncool that downvoted posts are greyed out and hard to read - aren't downvotes meant for offtopic messages? Or is the goal to have a uniform hivemind?

It would be much simpler creating a walkable area as part of a large scale urban renewal/redevelopment project than trying to retrofit an existing area. I wonder why there is so much focus on transforming an existing area. People should all want to buy/invest/rent in these areas designed with walking, biking, and expanded green space in mind.

I get called an "Infrastructure Engineer" sometimes, I've also had the title of SRE and SWE. I don't really feel like any of these actually fit me.

I do work on Cloud Infrastructure at times, but honestly it's the smallest part of what I do. It's usually addressed in the architectural designs and I have to touch it incrementally. What I do much more often is writing tools, daemons, and services for distributed systems. I end up calling myself a Distributed Systems Software Engineer to reflect the idea that what I work on is systems and software, and most of them are non-monoliths (from a systems perspective).

Do you have any thoughts on Systems Engineers or the title that I prefer to call myself?

> Dark matter halos aren't specially "designed" to solve a particular problem - they're an inevitable consequence of LCDM.

You can't take one quote out of context as some meaningful criticism. The point they're making is that the particular distribution of dark matter and the initial conditions at the big bang have to be tuned to match observations because the natural predictions of CDM don't match observations. By contrast, in MOND many observations follow only from the amount of visible matter.

> There are many different predictions like this, from very different areas of astrophysics, that are all explained by essentially one assumption - that there is some sort of cold matter that does not interact with light (i.e., it has no charge). That's the strength of the theory.

This is the lie that's sold. There are numerous other parameters in LCDM (ie. assumptions) that must be tuned just right to match observations, and this paper goes over them and how MOND actually matches those observations without free parameters, or with some additional assumptions of its own.

LCDM itself requires a number of assumptions to match observations, so the question is, given the evidence, how many of those observations are expected outcomes of the model without tuning, how many require tuning and/or specific initial conditions, and how many require additional assumptions?

They do this for over 30+ observations and MOND comes out looking much better than you'd expect, so there's definitely something to it. It would just be a remarkable coincidence for MOND to make so many successful predictions based only on visible matter in cases where the LCDM requires visible
matter + postulating invisible matter in a specific distribution.

> 2. They are crafted to solve one or two particular problems in astrophysics, but they fail to solve all the other problems that cold dark matter solves.

By contrast, most astrophysicists that are gung-ho on LCDM sweep under the rug the inconvenient tuning that's needed to actually match observations. If you actually read the paper they acknowledge that something like sterile neutrinos are needed to explain some observations under MOND, but this is considerably less dark matter than the predominant model suggests is needed.

Nobody serious is claiming that MOND reproduces the full range of phenomena we see, but neither does LCDM, and LCDM without tuning doesn't look like our universe at all.
"we want to prioritize walking over huge single occupancy vehicles that kill the environment and instead invest in public infra" is tyrannical? Oh man, I don't even know where to begin. I'm sorry, if I'm not misunderstanding it's just hilarious.
The Supreme Court just heard arguments in National Pork Producers Council v. Ross [1], which is challenging California's law that pork sold in California must follow certain animal welfare / health & safety standards. A big debate is over whether it was genuinely a health & safety standard versus a purely 'moralistic' law that is seeking to de-facto regulate other states.

The issue is called the "Dormant Commerce Clause" [2], which is the idea that one state can't place "undue burdens" on interstate commerce. California can't just ban all imports from Texas, or vice versa. But courts have generally upheld health and safety laws, like California's car emissions laws or Hawaii's very strict agricultural products import restrictions --- but only if it is narrowly-tailored and there is a compelling state interest. Hawaii has a very compelling state interest in keeping its unique biodiversity, while California has a compelling state interest in keeping the valley of asphalt known as Los Angeles free of smog. There isn't really a good bright line test or definition in existing precedent of what "compelling state interest" means when it must be balanced against "balkanization" [3] by these kinds of laws, so many are hoping SCOTUS uses this case to make a clear definition.

But it is likely that this kind of law would be seen more as a morality regulation than health and safety. California argued that it was not an attempt to legislate moral issues in other states, but more of a health and safety regulation:

> Mongan [California state solicitor] pushed back on some of the hypotheticals about state laws that would condition the sale of products on a company’s general health care or labor practices. He told Barrett that Proposition 12 is “focused on the production of goods that are coming into” California, rather than on company-wide policies. “I think we would all recognize,” Mongan said, that it would be problematic if states can condition the sales of those products on restrictions of wholly unrelated out-of-state purchasers.” [3]

That, and also 2 blocks is a ridiculously short distance.

>"Now apply this argument to ads on smart TVs."

I'd love that. But sadly I can't vote with my wallet because virtually every television is a Smart TV nowadays. I would gladly pay more for a TV if I could find one that wasn't bundled with all the extraneous stuff. Especially one that isn't designed to be a sign in a fast food restaurant.

> racking up $2,500 in serverless compute charges in 24 hours seems very very hard to do

TBH I know how to spend that much and more with a single query (and ~30 minutes of compute time) in BigQuery. Serverless BI analytics workloads over large public datasets can do amazing things... and are also exactly the sorts of things a naive user would use to test + benchmark the capabilities of serverless data-warehousing systems.
Thank you for the heads-up on this. $18/month was already far too expensive for the value it provided, so I just canceled.
Public transport seems to be top notch in Europe.

Walking is also nice for shorter distances. Or bikes.
Russian Defense Adviser Accidentally Throws Putin Under the Bus on Live TV
This is super helpful to know and corresponds well with my experience when trying to learn Blender. As I had not followed along all those battles of the past, I miss a lot of context. That makes it hard to judge what is considered best practice now and what is the idiomatic way to do things.

What would you recommend? Is it worth getting used to right click select or is left click select OK? Are the new 'default' hotkeys good or is there an advantage in being able to use the old key bindings?
GL 2.1 support for my crappy Intel iGPU thanks to Gallium, instead of 1.4x. Good news. No modern gaming, but at least retrogaming and games like Trigger Rally will run fast. And, maybe, PSP emulation on an n270 Atom, but just as an experiment.
Good. I am not saying forensic ballistics is just as pseudo-science, but it also needs a hard look to re-validate the deductions and now-accepted methodologies.
Same here, in Boston I randomly stumbled upon a street shut down along the entire length of the Back Bay, not for any particular event or anything, and it was like a spontaneous mile-long carnival. Washington Street at the heart of downtown has been car-free for as long as I've been here. Over in Cambridge they shut down the major road along the river every weekend in the summer and it's a delightful time to go for a bike ride or just hang out on the riverfront without the constant noise of cars.
You know, there are peopling living in these blocks with their kids. So you have at least two parties to consider: people trying to get from A to B and people living where people travel from A to B. In Barcelona and many other places many have decided, that by making life for people going from A to B via car a bit more miserable, people living in these places will have a significant improvement of their living conditions.

I'm really looking forward to superblocks being established in my district in Munich. It would be so nice if my kids and their friends could play in front of my appartment house without parked and moving cars everywhere.
A Boom in Renewable Energy Has Blunted the Global Rise in Emissions
What a great concept for explaining the inner workings of everyday things. From a product perspective, what a dream to have that available to take the mystery out of what you do. I'm thinking of other hidden mechanisms that people use every day that it would be socially helpful to understand, and the sponsorship ops must be amazing. I suppose there's just some people you can't convince, so a 5G transmitter might not be a great example, but maybe a speed enforcement gun, the secure element on an iphone, SIM, or chip and pin card, the brake caliper of a car with regenerative braking, a high end espresso machine, a top tier audio amplifier, etc.

Assuming that i am in favour of cars in cities is plain wrong. Barcelona still having traffic means public transport is not great, even if it looks good, and the so called superblocks are not of much help either. I am for solving traffic and pollution issues but not following barcelonas example.

It's very much a work in progress, as noted in the article. And some of the stuff that worked reasonably well on my cards, like the instruction rate test when trying to measure throughput across the entire card, went down the drain when run on Arc.
Regarding the security clearance, while you are not technically wrong in theory, in practice things are heavily compartmentalized at an individual human level by "need to know" practices.

It kind of opened my eyes to how much a maze the IC is regarding classifications and data restrictions. We may both have TS clearances, but I may have access to wayyyy more crazy stuff than you do, based on what I am officially working on. However, on paper we may have the same levels of "trust" from the system's perspective.
> To draw an even smaller circle, is anybody still excited about Ruby when Rails isn't involved?

I love Ruby, and I'm excited about where it is and where it's going. It's my go-to language for just about everything. I write automations with it, API clients with it, little just-for-me programs with it, little experiments with it.

Ruby is a beautiful, delightful object oriented language and I wouldn't want to work with anything else right now (especially not Javascript).
