Good lord, that is even worse than I'm describing.

A great many people cannot fathom the fundamental truth that the majority of learning is useful simply because it allows us to enjoy to process of living in society for 70-90 years and for no other reason. There isn't any greater purpose to being "good at writing" other than "it makes communication and competition more accessible and convenient", but even that is a subjective value judgement. There are many sub-cultures who exist even inside our own that are perfectly happy being sub-literate.

A lot of people are saying "if kids don't learn dry, boring technical writing, then how will they write work emails and documentation?" The implication there is that if you can't write proper emails and documentation, you'll fail at your career. If the emails and documentation I receive are at all representative of greater industry (and I've worked in both aerospace and clinical research) then I can assure everyone that few people can write at a useful level and not only are they still employed but their companies are still around.

Given that no one can write anyway, why do we cling to forcing children through painful, humiliating exercises in standardization?
I would be more worried about the undersea fiber optic cable. There's 13 cables that provide the vast majority of internet into the country and they're deep underwater where they could easily be destroyed with no defense.
> they might not be 'the best'

The pursuit of the "the best" is one of the most toxic parts of Bay area culture. In want of the "the best" I've seen people double/triple book themselves for events so they can flake on 2 and go to the one they want in the moment. I've seen people endlessly date, permanently unsatisfied with every human they encounter (if you can have 100 dates in 2 yrs and no one lives up to your standards, high probability thats more about you than them). In pursuit of "the best" people undermine eachother at work, and fail to keep their words. On and on it goes.
> law prohibits accessing a computer without authorization, or in excess of authorization

Excess is a very broad condition, and deliberately so. The law doesnt say what counts as auth one way or another, that's up to the courts to interpret.

It seems beyond doubt that any reasonable court would find this guy did not have auth to install anything, let alone spyware.
Wow! Congrats on this amazing feat! You consistently create amazing Streamlit tools, I hope you're one day part of the official team. Mind blowing work from one person!
Another thing to consider for the non-unicorn companies. If the big players axe WFH, the smaller companies and "non-unicorn" could be in a good position to use WFH has a hedge to attract talent. People who would apply and get hired at MANGA, but they will pass it up for the ability to live and work anywhere. My guess, there are a lot of talented engineers who would take that.
Ok so to answer your first question, you have to isolate the divergent piece of the terms. So we typically write it as an expansion in epsilson, where you have 1/e as e -> 0 (there are higher order terms, but let's keep it simple). So if we had two contributing terms*, what we should end up with is

X * ((1/e) - (1/e)) + finite terms = finite result.

Easy right? Only there is a problem: the different terms have different dimensional integrals. You can't just do some alebra to cancel these terms, instead what you have to do is construct something called a subtraction scheme which moves the contributions between your different integrals, such that the subtraction terms don't contribute anything to final result and cancel each other, but render the whole calculation finite. This is a by-hand crafted thing, and takes years and years to calculate properly, which is very easy to get wrong.

The complication in particle physics is actually constructing the equations and evaluating the integrals either numerically or alebraically. The algebraic calculations are extremely hard, and checking you are right is really difficult. Typically that involves two independent research groups attempting the same calculation using different approaches and checking you get the same result.

Similarly, for the numerical evaluation of the integrals you really are pushing what a computer can do to the limits. If we consider the term:-

X * (1/e - 1/e) + finite

and I'm trying to integrate this numerically, you typically put in an artifical cutoff term as you get close to the singularity. Problem is you reach the limits of floating point precision pretty quickly: asking for the difference between two massive numbers is the worst case scenario for numerical evaluation. Trying to work around these problems are really, really challenging.

* There are many more than two terms in a real calculation
Please tell me that you made a move.
My son's piano teacher also is very specific about posture. I think this is an important aspect of playing any musical instrument, not just flutes and pianos.
I'd imagine along those lines, problematic for licensed pilots as well.
The rich are always going to have advantages over the poor. The point of banning cars isn't to punish the rich or to make everyone equal. The point of banning cars is to reduce the traffic and pollution on the street and make the city more livable and healthy.
I'll definitely check out Headscale, I have similar infrastructure setup with pfsense running wg on a VPS that connects to my pfsense box at home. I have other VPS that connect to the cloud pfsense box and routes setup to the home box so I essentially have an extended LAN. This seems promising as it will remove the pain of configuring additional clients.

Of course they're not expressed. I did however go and read articles from 2011, which give a clear account consistent with my interpretation.

A typical city only has a single venue large enough for a group by Blink-182, Springsteen or Garth Brooks. They are almost universally TM affliated venues, and now with the LiveNation combo promote their own artists on LN-produced tours.
I wonder if this is a chicken/egg thing? Host are charging this silly fee because guests were not cleaning up after themselves?

I think it is different. Woman cannot stop 'slut-shaming' any more then men can stop 'objectifying' women.

Remember, women are trapped in a zero-sum competition for a limited number of acceptable mates.

A programming analog would be commercial software programmers shaming open-source programmers. That doesn't seem to happen.
Internet Explorer was extending the standard to the point of incompatibility. That was a goal and we know because of the trial:

"kill HTML by extending it"

(As recalled by Steven McGeady Intel VP told by Paul Maritz Microsoft VP)

So Internet Explorer was quite the opposite of today’s Safari: Microsoft was trying to be faster than Netscape, and to put forward new non-standard specifications faster than Netscape could or would add them. AJAX for example started as an ActiveX component, a technology that tied most components to Windows.

If we draw parallels, it looks more like what Google is (accused frequently of) doing than what Apple is doing (releasing yearly, adding standards after others)

Of course when Microsoft drove Netscape to bankruptcy, then they slowed improving their monopolistic browser, as only Windows was important to protect for them.
No I don't think so. Many worlds is basically the hypothesis that we can put arbitrarily large systems in superposition. Like schroedingers cat that is both dead and alive, but instead it could be the whole lab, the whole planet, the whole galaxy that is simultaneously in two different states.
We could test this by trying to actually do it, by putting really large and complex systems in superposition. If they both evolve as we'd predict and cause the interference patterns we predict, then we must conclude that these "other-labs", "other-planets", "other-galaxies", "other-worlds" evolve just like ours, and have a causal effect on ours.

Saying that sure, they evolve like ours, and sure they affect ours, but even so they are not real - that is I suppose one stance, but then you are getting pretty close to solipsism.
There is a lot of people who go see established artists without really listening to the albums so they mostly know the hits and that's what they want to be played at the concert.
Is "hai" closer to something like "ok" or "a'right" than "yes"?
I seriously doubt that 75% of twitter employees even use twitter, let alone for posting "mean things" about Elon.

Mostly given that twitter "only" has 40mil mDAU in the US[0]. Of course twitter employees probably have higher rates of twitter usage than an average person in the US. But I still find it unlikely (but not impossible) to be anywhere even close to 75% for usage, and, out of those, much less for posting about Musk.

I had a friend who would say that 10% of the workforce keeps the company running, while another 10% support them; whereas, the remainder role-play giving presentations to each other.
Not all of them, but certainly a good amount.

Fans often age with the artist, and the same with cars somewhat.

Younger people (teenagers) will get to the concerts on their parent's dime, and many will go toward newer artists.
« But I think we’ll be pretty close to having enough 9s that you’re going to have no one in the car by the end of this year. And certainly, without a question, that’s in my mind next year. »

After merging with Live Nation it is so much worse. The TM monopoly now extends all the way down to producing the tours
> On the other hand, if the market is down, there's no way in hell that I'm selling my house.

As long as you are occupying a residence, it would not effect nationwide or region-wide supply and demand, right? You selling would be offset by you buying.

Deaths, divorces, immigration, births, and of course, new construction is what would shift supply and demand curves, on average.
I can't tell what your criticism is.

Are you saying the GP is inaccurate, or impolitic, or something else?
This is the correct answer, phased array antennas have much more directivity so they are much harder to jam with a ground-based jammer. Although I suppose in some cases you might want to put the jammer on a drone anyway, to cover a larger area. In that scenario you would probably not see a significant difference for phased array antennas vs "normal" antennas.

Caveat btw: for both starlink and GPS, the satellite you are talking to will not always be "up". For GPS in particular, it is possible that some of the satellites are only barely above the horizon. So an antenna that only looks "up" is generally not what you want anyway, which makes ground-based jammer more effective again.
If the market was something remotely non-dysfunctional a slump would be expected.

BUT, why are thousands of buildings/units empty in NYC that have been empty for years with an outrageous rent? Because among other things the owners win/lose less when the building is empty due to taxes plus many are with a noose around the neck waiting for the big sheik to come around and buy their building for a non-sense amount of money.

A version of that exists all around the country, plus builders "stopped" building new houses around a year ago, so inventory will disappear and prices will stay or even go up.

Apartment buildings are the exception for now but it's a gamble and with the high costs of everything ( now including finance ), I don't see how those prices will slump.

They'll stop being so ridiculous at best.
Depends how it works, just as an example (not what they are doing) if ticket master guarantees X seats for Y price. Then the band might be fine with ticket master doing what every they wish -- there's no risk to the band.

Granted the band probably negotiated minimums and a cut. Remember, you also have the venue, security, traffic, marketing, etc. There's a lot involved with these kind of events.

The secret service in this case were acting in the interest of public order, and if shopkeepers or franchisees couldn't have people installing Spyware on their machines prosecuted - it would make any kind of public hardware or software demo impossible.

It's true that good public order does have effects that "empower" some people and disempower others, and sometimes this is Bad(TM). However good public order is also inherently necessary to have a society at all.
It's a scam. Plain and simple. VRBO is worse.
I mean... chess can be learned in an afternoon, too. A few minutes of memorizing the standard movements of each piece followed by maybe a half hour of learning the exceptions (castling, en passant, etc.) and you've "learned how to play chess". A handful of games later and you start to get a feel for the relative importance of the pieces.

I wouldn't argue that anyone expects to be competitive with a grandmaster at that point, though.
I think near is the key. 5 years ago It used to be that the city core was cool now city cores are just a dumping ground of empty offices and societies rejects. We’re in another era of sprawl this time driven by for from home convenience
I think what you're suggesting here might be both more and less complicated than you're making it, owing precisely to the presumption of the "identity" of the thing called "England" (very similar to race and gender of course).

As a black person, I just find that there's probably something along the lines of the philopsohical idea of "things are what they do," which also means occasionally getting comfy with contradictions and paradoxes.

E.g. concretely, I can (well, must, really) accept the idea of "blackness" being a very flimsy concept from a scientific view but a very strong one from a social/political one.
I can't believe you can still get 10 (scratch that, 15 after the latest amendment to prohibited persons signed this summer) YEARS in jail for licensed medical patient to own a joint next to a .22 squirrel rifle.

Firearms rights and pot freedoms fall politically on opposite sides of the political aisle so I have no real hope that's going to be fixed in the near future. There's no bipartisan incentive.
But how do they prevent selling for higher prices?

Thing like "I'll give you $50 tomorrow if you sell me your ticket today for the sticker price"?

...this checks out.
Yeah I know TM is sketchy and monopolistic. That doesn't mean they have the leverage to take 90% of the money for themselves. The artists would raise the face value of their tickets to recapture it if it were as simple as that.

We don't know what the details are on how the money is divvied up, but I do know that artists must be getting upside on this dynamic pricing.
> I don't think that's within bounds of the thought experiment though.

Why not? The point of the thought experiment is supposed to be to prove that Mary learns something she didn't know before when she sees the apple. But if the premises of the thought experiment give her the ability to give herself that knowledge beforehand, that undermines the conclusion.

> The thought experiment is testing our intuition about whether third-party objective facts, as found in science, can suffice to describe even subjective experiences like redness.

No, it's not. It's claiming to prove that subjective experience cannot be physical, i.e., that physicalism is false. It is making use of a common intuition that subjective experiences are fundamentally different from "third-party objective facts" (Dennett calls it an "intuition pump" for this reason), but that is not a proof of anything, it's just a circular argument, assuming what it purports to prove.

> If you need to actually stimulate the experience to gain that understanding, then that either proves that third-party objective facts are not sufficient, or it proves that such experiences are not knowledge.

Neither one of these refutes physicalism, however, since the process of giving yourself the required stimulus based on your knowledge is a physical process--at least, there is nothing in the premises of the thought experiment that rules that out.
If an artist wants to play a big venue and make money by volume, then they need to grin and bear it.

Because TicketMaster/LiveNation own most of the large music venues in the country. And if you don't use them in a "vertical stack" you don't get to play those venues.

And even at $50/ticket, you make money a lot faster in a 25,000 seat arena than you do trying to play 15 nights at an "intimate" theater (hey, guess what, TM/LN own a huge swathe of those too).

We complain on HN about tech "monopolies" (or debate their existence, at least). TM/LN is a much larger effective monopoly that, to my knowledge, has not had any real investigation.

I had to visit my employer in Ottawa (I live in the UK). They booked me into a suite hotel, because there was an international conference in town, and all the smaller rooms were booked.

So I got a huge TV, a kitchenette, a double bedroom with another huge TV, a bathroom with his-and-hers basins, and a single bedroom. The next morning I discovered a second bathroom, like the first; and a utility room with a washer and a dryer.

The problem was they didn't have a bar, so I couldn't get a bottle of wine. But not a big problem; the suite hotel shared a lift with the regular hotel next door. So I would ring the barman at the regular hotel, and he'd meet me on the second floor with my wine.

Quantrix is still popular today for large financial modelling. The main advantage of Improv/Quantrix was that everything is named, and formulas are expressed as logical formulas, not references to spreadsheet columns, which makes the spreadsheets themselves more interpretable and readily auditable. If you're disciplined with named ranges, you can do a similar thing in Excel these days, but it doesn't really feel as natural as it did in Improv, and on a multi-person team with varying Excel skill levels it can be a challenge to maintain that discipline.

Artists can use some of the increased profit from higher ticket prices to buy and reserve tickets to be given to fans for free via a fan-lottery system.
Absolutely. That's of course when they don't just own the venue outright, themselves, which they often do.
It's pretty clear Mary learns something new upon viewing the red apple and it's easy to create an experiment for this. We'll continue using Mary's monochrome example as a basis.

Consider the following experimental setup:
Mary is prepared with all the knowledge about colors and apples and every other odd thing just as before. Mary is then instructed to view an apple and then subsequently asked to follow the instruction printed in red in the next room.

In the next room there are two sets of instructions. The instructions in red say "Exit through the left door" and the instructions in blue read "Exit through the right door". Behind the left door is a million bucks and behind the right door is nothing.

Does Mary get the million bucks? Would Mary get the million bucks had she skipped looking at the apple? It's probably helpful to do this with several Marys and ask, is there evidence that our Marys choose the left door greater than the expected probability attributed to random chance? If we can answer yes, no, and yes, then we can infer that choosing the view the apple changed Mary's mental state and that yes, she did learn something new that helped her to identify the correct text.
Is it worth it? Globalization means that everybody tries to be a leader in their markets. If you focus on one market, you have to neglect another.

Ya but being underwater doesn't really matter if you plan on living there for a long while. People will need a good reason to sell their house, like no longer being able to make payments due to job loss etc. (or they bought like 10 houses like in early 2000's...) So as long as the rest of the economy is okayish, I just see prices stagnating for a while. Also, inflation actually helps when you have a fixed mortgage...
I am honestly excited for the future that popular remote work is bringing. Instead of all business being concerned in major cities, where building owners get to skim earnings from workers and businesses, we will get equalization between the cities big and small.
