#2 - Ads are off by default, you can opt in to see ads and if you do you can opt in to collect a token that you can then either keep or donate to content providers that you support (ie tipping). I have never opted in so I never see it.
I noticed also that the defense of this research seemed to say "I tried to do something dangerous, but I failed, so retroactively it was OK."
This makes sense to me. Thanks for the explanation. I guess getting a physically accurate simulation to run in real time would be quite difficult.

Let's say you're a talented, smart, dedicated person and you want to get as good as you possibly can in one focused field. Let's assume it involves some creativity, so we're talking becoming a virtuoso violinist, a world-leading Hydroelectric Dam engineer, architect, RAID firmware developer, whatever. (So not something like the 100-yard dash, where creativity is a very small part.) What should you do?

Consider Bob, the virtuous, studious person, who is opposed to that vicious "curiosity" that would distract him from his goal, spends all his time studying and practicing and focusing on his very narrow subject. Think about building a building as tall as you possibly can -- that's their knowledge tower. Taller! Taller! More focused, more specialized! But once he's read all the books and journal articles on the subject, how can he keep getting better? Where do new ideas come from? Just more practice, the same thing over and over? That works well for running a marathon, but not for creative work.

Now consider Alice, the vicious, curious person, also wanting to get as good as possible in a focused field, but often distracted by her general intellectual curiosity. She doesn't read every book and journal article in the field, but she's read a lot of them (most of the way through) and is aware of the general ideas presented in most of the others. Think of the 80/20 power-law rules; this person, devoting half her time to the focused subject, is probably about 80% to 90% as knowledgeable about the deep, focused field as the person who devoted all his time to it. Meanwhile, she has a wellspring of fresh ideas from a wide range of related disciplines (and everything is all related, one way or another).

The thing about world-leading experts in creative fields is that they're constantly facing problems that nobody has ever solved before. When Bob The Studious faces such a problem, he needs to invent the solution wholesale by a mutation on his existing body of knowledge. He has no raw memetic material to cross-breed with to explore the solution space. But Alice does! She doesn't need to rely on the slow and random process of mutation; she has a wealth of other memetic material to cross-breed with her (somewhat more limited) specialist knowledge. Nobody in RAID Firmware design has solved that particular problem before, but it looks a little bit like a hobby project she read about a few months ago involving a Raspberry PI, and didn't they have to deal with something like this on the space shuttle? Hold on, I think I bookmarked that ...

Virtuoso musicians know that practicing 4 to 6 hours per day is better than practicing 10 hours per day.

The politics of the person running Brave are why I will never use it.
Protons are non-perturbative, indeed, but this does not mean that there are no virtual particles exchanged inside a proton. It seems like your comment implies that, sorry if I misunderstood.

On the contrary, this means that there are too many virtual particles (gluons) being exchanged inside a proton, so many that perturbation theory is not applicable.
I'm not sure a pun this bad is allowed to have a point.
Is Groupon/HP/Square/etc really using this or is it just a fake marketing page?
Which is funny considering that Brave is a for profit company and nearly all of their money comes from displaying ads. It's popular for blocking a thing that the company needs to survive, while not caring about all the websites they block ads on.
I have idly wondered whether or not there could be a completely different approach to QCD from the usual perturbative techniques. I remember reading in one of Zee's books that back 80s he pointed out to Feynman that the path integral formalism that QFT is based on has no natural way to treat something as simple as a particle in a box. And an object like a proton seems to be more like a particle in a box than a free particle undergoing an interaction.

> the public has a right to know

Um... no it doesn't? If the government chooses not to charge a crime, that's the end of the story. You don't have a right to other people's houses, papers and effects just because a warrant was issued for it. Sometimes law enforcement makes mistakes, and when that happens the correct and just result is just to forget the whole thing.

Obviously if Meeks has something to say, he has a first amendment right to do so. But you don't get to know what the FBI took from him.
It’s not just about how you view work, it’s how you prefer to work.

When you pick up the phone do you start by asking someone how are they doing or wake it clear idgaf?

When I changed jobs I realized what a game changer it was that people turned on webcams during meetings. That’s not negotiable for me. I had a really good colleague who only wanted to communicate through Slack messages. He left. So a job is just money for me to, but I want it to be driven with the warmth of human interaction kindness and not between robots. YMMV.
There is some logic, the "you don't want to expose your internals". Really useful messages might contain a lot of details about the tech stack you use (giving a nice hint into which CVEs to try).

That said, this is an easily solved problem. The best solution is to aggressively log errors AND prioritize having dev teams push that error count to 0. If an error happens, it's a bug.

The next way to solve it is simply a report button. Let the users click a "I'm mad at you for not working" button and embed something like a session ID that allows internal queries into what went wrong.

Error codes are a terrible solution, but perhaps an OK option if this is not hosted software. That said, a more user friendly approach would be a QR code with all the relevant details embedded.
That's very harsh. If it were a bunch of cobbled together perl and bash scripts I could understand poopooing the software stack, but java for enterprise accounting software is a super common stack and arguably one of the most suitable solution for this type of software.
Binding energy is not gluons. Gluons are massless, binding energy is just energy, it's not a particle.

The device can apparently take quite a beating.
I hope this doesn't come off wrong, but here are two things that helped me and might help you: (1) shift your thinking and (2) take the initiative more.

For 30 days in a row, come up with and write down a million dollar idea per day. It's hard at first, but gets much easier, and after awhile you'll see that there is so much real opportunity around you that the challenge is deciding what to go after. But as long as you are convinced that good ideas and opportunities are few and far between, then you are probably going to be stuck.

Get into the habit of looking for weaknesses and inefficiencies in everything around you, for example. Or look in niche industries that are too small for the Googles of the world to care about. An idea can be worth more money than you'll ever use and still be way too small to be interesting for Google. When you find something that can work, don't wait for somebody to hand you money or invite you to join them, but go bootstrap it yourself. Maybe just do it as a side gig, but choose something with the potential to be far bigger.

For example: I noticed that the nearest dry cleaning company appears to be using a DOS-based system, they seem to be somewhat disorganized, and they have to manually notify me (phone call) when my clothes are ready. Odd are, there are lots of other dry cleaning companies like them. It probably wouldn't take much time talking to them to figure out a number of ways to dramatically improve things with some better software and maybe some RFID tags or something. Their customers will love that, on your system, they automatically get notified when their clothes are ready. The companies will love that, on your system, they can handle more orders per day, they never lose track of stuff, and the software is much easier to use. Plus, your system lets them send out coupon codes and reminders ("It's been 6 months since you got your suit cleaned - bring it in this week and we'll give you a 25% discount!") and so they see people taking stuff to them more often. Google is never going to compete with you there, but you could probably demonstrate that a company could save $10k/yr and/or increase revenue by $10k/yr using your system, and you'd "only" charge them $3k/yr (or whatever). There are about 14k dry cleaning companies in the U.S., so converting a small segment of the market would be enough to be self-sustaining, with a much higher upside if you got to, say, 10% of the market.

The above is just a random example off the top of my head, but I guarantee you are swimming in opportunities like this, so if that one isn't appealing or the numbers don't hold up under scrutiny, then look around and find something else.
I suggest re-reading the article.

It has almost nothing to do with "lowering costs"; the fact that it costs 8x more to build a ship in the US is one of many pieces of evidence supporting the argument that the Jones Act has failed to protect the US shipbuilding industry.

I think the issue is that a non-Jones ship going from DR to PR could then not continue on to another US port, which means that PR would have to have enough demand to unload the entire ship there or at another foreign port.

The issue really comes into play with the fact that a non-Jones ship couldn't stop at a US port on the way to another US port, and that really hurts smaller outlying ports that are between a foreign nation and mainland US.

What I mean by "WFH is not an individual choice" is that in the post-COVID jargon, WFH is a company policy. And when people advocate for WFH in this environment, they are implicitly advocating for no one to be in the office - because me being alone in an office park because everyone else is at home does nothing for my ability to collaborate or have a positive work experience. As someone else stated, I think the end result will be different companies choosing how they want to have their workforce operate, and workers deciding whether to work for a WFH or WFO company.

And I do think some are saying WFH is morally superior in that they think WFO is something "forced" on introverts. My point is that WFH is something "forced" on extroverts. Introverts' decision to WFH affects an office advocate as much as an extrovert's decision to have everyone work from office affects a WFH advocate.
I've driven across Wyoming in a Tesla Model 3 LR and it was totally fine. This was part of a larger road trip starting in Texas, to Wyoming, then over to Illinois 3 years ago. The density of chargers has only gotten better since!

Early-on I dismissed Brave because I really didn't like the idea of earning crypto to watch ads. However, I didn't see that this was something to opt-into and the exhaustive list of patches they've applied to provide better privacy than Firefox. I would switch, but there are 2 things preventing me from doing so: no good vertical tab extension in Chrome-based browsers, and I HEAVILY make use of container tabs in Firefox. It's too powerful to maintain several sessions to the same site in separate containers. Also I have 300 tabs open. This works for me. This is Web 3.0.

I'm no fan of the Jones Act, I think it should be repealed in its entirety. However, there is a political reality that several special interests are united in keeping the law on the books.

I think a better solution would be to amend the Jones Act to remove the American built requirement. I'm fine with American flagged and crewed ships if we want to ensure that we have available merchant marines. (which we don't have now) However, there is no such thing as an "American built" ship anymore. The ships we "build" in the USA have had their design and critical components outsourced. The only thing we do is assembly, and that is the easiest part of shipbuilding to ramp up in a war.

You can sell this plan to the defense department by stating that you will actually have ships and crew members if you need them. Right now almost the entire fleet of Jones Act ships is reaching their end of life and there is a point which we will reach soon where they will go extinct.

I think a lot of this boils down to kids vs no kids.

I really enjoyed working in the office when I didn't have kids. Hanging out with coworkers after work was pretty normal, and sometimes my wife would come along too. We're still good friends with a lot of my old coworkers. In fact, those are the people we hang out with now.

But now that I have kids I'd rather spend time with them or on my hobbies with them or hanging out with other people with kids while the kids do kid's stuff.

It's true, I don't know my current coworkers nearly as well as I did my old ones, and that's been a bit of a problem. We have occasional in person events and it's always a good time.

But that's because it's infrequent. Giving up my flexibility of working from home is something I will never do. But I totally sympathize with people who don't have kids and their social circle is their coworkers (that was me!).

I hate commuting, I don't much care for my coworkers, I'm fairly antisocial in general, and I love hanging out at home. Remote work seems to have solved a number of work-life balance and accessibility problems.

So while I can't quite buy any sunny version of the act of "going to work," I do feel like something is missing. Maybe the miserable aspects were "character-building." The whole thing reminds me of recent high school graduates who are disoriented by the realization that their formerly rich social life was unnatural and enforced.

I think remote work is here to stay and I'm personally glad for it. But perhaps your opinions would sound less "controversial" if you framed what you feel you're missing out on as a mysterious je ne sais quoi of workplace life. I would never say, "Yeah, I miss seeing my coworkers every day," but I probably would say, "Yeah, sometimes I have an odd sense of Stockholm Syndrome for those freaks." And maybe creating a space to talk about that feeling is important.
This story also fits with the first figure in the article, which says that the % drop in labor participation has been biggest for less educated women.

Yeah its really insane. The child care space has been legislated into un-affordability. Between licensing requirements, staffing ratios, building codes, and a litany of other requirements its a service that can basically only be provided to upper middle class families if not HEAVILY subsidized.

That's how natural selection works and it's natural for a reason, ie was proven to be evolutionary successful, diversity is the king, and when there's a king there's always going to be someone not that much successful.

I'm not sure where you were, but what you saw was almost certainly a service van with the Telefunken name and logo because Telefunken was one of the major brands of hifi radio consoles and table radio sets at the time. As the availability of FM radio increased in North America, so did the popularity of the living room hifi console. FM Stereo broadcasting furthered the boom. When community cable tv companies began to include FM Stereo stations in their services, often with stations normally out of range of home antennas, there was a further sales boom. As with all major brands, Telefunken hifis came with a record turntable and AM/FM (later FM Stereo) radio band receiver, but Telefunken also included Short and Long Wave bands as standard features. Major North American brands integrated TV sets into their high end consoles while Telefunken remained radio-turntable only. Eventually the market demand for large hifi consoles died off and now they are collectible relics, boat anchors, or landfill.
