I will say there for sure is a certain percentage of administration at most public colleges that should be cut. Coming from the UC system, there are wayyyy too much bureaucratic bloat. But at the same time they do provide a lot of support even if it's for smaller niche groups of people on campus, which without them would make going there a much worse experience.

There should be a middle ground in reducing costs of overpaid bureaucratic bloat while also providing everyone on campus enough support, from undergrads to grad students to professors, etc.

The best solution here is just to start enforcing pip quotas lol.
I think there are many factors. First, the Chinese healthcare system is much smaller than western healthcare systems. Combine that with a much larger population and a pandemic and you end up in a bad situation really fast. Secondly, they’ve refused the mRNA vaccines, which are significantly more effective than their home grown vaccine. Third, and possibly most importantly, Xi et al both inflated the danger of Covid in their communications to the public, and made zero Covid a point of national and personal pride for Xi. He would lose face if they turned back now.
Some people, I've found, really WANT to believe everything associated with Elon is trash.
I don't think it's _literally_ unbelievable; notably, IBM used to use lines of code written for compensation purposes back in the 80s. It would indicate that whoever was making the decisions was pretty incompetent, though; even IBM eventually figured out that it was a terrible idea.
In my opinion the reason is political, that is, I think zero-covid policy is a form of citizen control to prevent protests/insurrection against the accumulation of power by Xi, but also against the economic crumbling surrounding the collapse of their real estate market.
> Taiwan becoming an independent state would be a revolution of sorts.

Your post is correct other than for this point. It would not be a revolution, it would a reconciling of governments into the de facto reality since 1949, that Taiwan has been able to self-govern apart from the mainland (even though its economy has since then gotten quite coupled with it over the past few decades).

It might be revolutionary from a legal standpoint, but the PRC/ROC distinction is truly a one-off in modern geopolitics, akin to the Korean War still technically not yet over but instead legally being a frozen conflict for seventy years. The reason why Taiwan's status has not caught up with reality yet is because of course no party is willing or able to resolve this deadlock.
You're right -- look at any LED datasheet and you'll see the efficiency get lower at higher currents.

The real reason for PWM dimming is simplicity, expanse and size.

Turning an LED on and off is a lot simpler than a real constant-current LED driver: indicator LEDs can be driven directly from a digital output on a microcontroller, or switched with just a mosfet. Constant current is always going to be more components.

In AC-powered applications, making an LED not flicker at 100/120Hz requires capacitance for energy storage, which are bulky and unreliable.

Apart from a paucity of syntax, in what sense does Go obey "less is more"? It's well known for having a large and high-quality standard library (it has an X.509 parser! Even Python doesn't have that!).

In many ways, the "less is more" property exists on separate axes for C and Go: C's syntax is relatively complex while Go's is relatively simple. C's standard library and runtime are minuscule; Go's are large.
I haven't solved it recently but up until a few years ago the NYT basically had its own culture in the types of questions and answers it used, and the more you solved that specific crossword, the better you got.

I do NYT despite being British and I had to learn more than I ever wanted about the US and baseball, but it was a subconscious process. It is frustrating when they mention some obscure 70s TV show but I can usually get it from the crossings.
Yeah, I'm still going to buy that house this quarter. Not too worried about the long-term value, there is literally no more land area to develop in the western region of the Bay Area.

I have policy leanings, but not political leanings.
I reside in the United States, but I was born and raised abroad and have not voted in political elections for more than 10 years. I really appreciate the opportunity to vote and I would never give up my right, but I can't bring myself to go to the polls and support, first and foremost, people I don't admire or don't feel represented by. Curiously, until my early 20s I was very passionate about politics, now I just observe.
Oh, right, that’s the same problem with the same solution though.

Parameters supply only values, but the cases you’ve shown require expressions. Of course no database (or db connector) would work like that, it’s slightly nonsensical. In your specific example the cardinality of the IN clause is important to the plan.

But all in all, congratulations, you’ve come to reach the limits of using raw SQL with dynamic inputs. Your choices are now: build an ORM, use an ORM, or hack around this issue with code that will horrify the next person to work on it. shrug.
My personal MacBook, personal Lenovo, and my work Dell all have (finally) USB-C

Elon is an intense narcissist so he absolutely cares how bad it looks. I am more worried about the workers who are still stuck there rather than the ones who were let go. It will be total chaos for quite awhile there before it settles into whatever former shell of itself , stuffed with ads and sponsored scams, it's on track to become, a depressing place to work for anyone with a conscience.

Zero Covid is causing suffering and clear economic damage in itself which will also affect tens of millions of people. We've also seen no scientific evidence it works. There is clearly still covid circulating in China.

What would've been sensible for Xi is talking to and sharing information with the rest of the world and buying vaccines that work as well as those deployed in other countries.

Also, had he been more transparent about the origins of covid in the first place, we might all be ahead by now.
Basically you are saying capital investments improve enrollment (though not necessarily the education given). You can have capital investments/improvements (buildings, labs, gyms) without ever increasing administrative non-capital costs.
You seem to refer to some fictional country when you use “China”. Basically all people refer to an actual country that does exist: the PRC. So when I say the US policy is not that Taiwan is part of China, I mean that US policy is not that Taiwan is part of the PRC.

So I’m not really sure what your point is. Is your point that US policy states that Taiwan is part of the PRC? If you’re not staying that, you’re not disagreeing with me.
Obviously fairly hard. Suspect the "cost effective" bit is a big part of it.
It's unreal that most of the comments here are missing this. The government guarantees effectively infinite loans that can be put toward college, and prices rise to meet the supply. Cause and effect.

I assume that latter.

But, if I was being generous, I would say it's because the bringing to a boil is oftentimes handled by another process (e.g. electric kettle) so it's hard to compare.

It's totally understandable if you don't want to answer this, but how did you know you had a problem? How did it fuck your life up?
Given more modern treatments, milder strains and vaccines, do you have a source for your tens of millions of deaths claim?

Seems like hyperbole at this stage.

I highly doubt zero covid is about public health, I think it's about ego and control.
Check out fediverse.party for other tools in this space.

Federateable software like Mastodon (twitter alternative), PeerTube (youtube alternative), Plemora (tumblr alternative), Lemmy (reddit alternative), etc is software where anyone with a server can host their own "instance" of the software. A key to them is some kind of protocol that allows different instances to talk to each other

If you disagree with the way Twitter is being run and you decide to run your own version of Twitter you'd have to start from scratch and be at a huge disadvantage due to the network effect. However, in the fediverse, this isn't as much of a problem since you can simply follow other instances

I believe that usually "Fediverse" is reserved for software where that central protocol is ActivityPub, but there are other non-AP-based examples of federated software out there

One big player in this space is FramaSoft which is a French company dedicated to "deGooglizing" the internet and creating working, mature, FLOSS, alternatives. They've increasingly supported more federated projects in the Fediverse
Similar story. I got my first job assignment at to do a comparison of hardware for the EUMETSAT METOP ground station. This was 2004 and the leading options were custom hardware ASICs in the $1-10M range. There was a snow storm and I had ridden my bike to work, and actually got hit by a car on the way, so I didn’t really feel like trying to make it home, and $10M seemed like a lot of money when I didn’t even know how fast my new Pentium 4 desktop could do it. I slept in my office for the next three days while most of the lab took snow days, trying to write the decoder in C. How hard could it be, right? I’d never taken a CS course, and assumed it was just a little bit of bit-banging to decode a structure or whatever. It was, until I came across this error-correction thing called Reed-Solomon. I knew about CRC, and thought that was the end of the story, but this used a bunch of totally unintelligible ‘new math’ called Galois fields, and it just happened to have been invented at the place I was working at, and by the way, the guy who gave me to assignment was named Solomon, unsure of any relation to Gustave, and I felt I was setting myself up for great embarrassment. Well anyway, this place had a great library, so I read the original paper, still getting nowhere, and then a book on the subject, also unintelligible, except that it included lots of very detailed pseudo code. When the lab returned, I had something working really slowly, but the hardware engineer thought it was cool enough to keep going, and built a PCI DAQ card to read the I/Q inputs directly into the computer. Eventually I made it fast enough, order of 10Mb, and that’s how NOAA made our weather reports during the decade when NPOESS VIIRS was delayed. I adapted it to VIIRS too, but only stuck around long enough to see it used in testing. I was very proud of myself, and was recognized with an award of zero dollars and the non-exclusive right to post a reply about it on Hacker News when the topic finally came up.
I wish more stores had hand held scanners. It’s super cumbersome when dealing with large items.
No idea where this dumb myth comes from

I think it’s a hangover from when it was true - fairly recently in a human-lifespan timescale. I moved to the SF Bay Area from the UK 20 years ago, and had to buy a weird kettle from Amazon. None of the nearby stores had a decent one. That’s definitely not true now though.
Teaching and research. But mostly research.
Most constructors aren't consistently good (i.e. publishing more than one puzzle a year) and so the crowdsourcing model makes sense. And the editors do rewrite many of the questions and provide feedback which is important.

Crosswords can already be generated by AI, but writing the clues in a clever way is non-trivial, making the fill exciting is not a solved problem, and most importantly a shallow AI cannot conceive or generate a theme. AI crosswords will become a thing around the same time AI-created novels do.
It seems highly plausible to me.
With those prices, gas is still twice as expensive as electricity, so even if the gas stove is half as efficient, you still break even.

And yes, electricity prices in Europe are crazy right now. You can see some graphs here that show how enormous the spikes are compared to years of relative stability (no need to read the text; the graphs speak for themselves, and the y-axis starts at 0!)

Electricity: https://www.overstappen.nl/energie/stroomprijs/

Gas: https://www.overstappen.nl/energie/gasprijzen/

So apparently I slightly misremembered the prices; those graphs show that in 2020 the average gas price was about 84 cents per m3 (or about 8.4 cents per kWh assuming 10 kWh per m3), or 23 cents per kWh of electricity. That's closer to 1:3 than 1:4 on a per-kWh basis, but the general argument still holds that it seems like cooking on gas is cheaper than cooking on electricity.
Yeah, why is that a command anyways...

But the point being that the users who have that also can just sudo anything anyways, and if an attacker is running shell commands, you're already in trouble.

I'm wondering if you're not right at this point though.
I travel with a tiny 15W GaN charger, only slightly bigger than my thumb.

I don't know what you do with your MBP, but for 15W charges up overnight and holds battery level or even slowly charges while being used. If you're transcoding something or gaming perhaps you could get it to slowly discharge.
Have you tired modern fortran? Arrays and matrix are easy. String are horrible, but they have also many quirks in C.

Anyway, we still use a mix of modern fortran with old fortran (I'm not sure it's even fortran 77).

My guess is they know that someone else has something vastly superior in the works, and Zuck is trying to muddy the waters and make Facebook synonymous with VR before they can come in and take over. Then Facebook will be able to take a strong #2 position
"Zhengzhou, China. The facility is currently operating at significantly reduced capacity. As we have done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we are prioritizing the health and safety of the workers in our supply chain."

From different news outlets and youtube channels that cover china's zero covid policy I feel the statement above referring to the health and safety of the Foxconn workers is pure PR puff.

I really like this youtube channel call China Insights witch gives some decent information on this exact Foxconn issues and how the workers are fleeing the lock-down.

What have you heard about it? I find it hard to assess with the currently available information (and, apparently, so does the world given the huge disparities in politics).

Long covid is real and scary. So are cancer, heart attacks and car crashes, but it would be a really bad idea to skip a cost/benefit analysis of the possible counter measures available at societal level because of that.

All the web3 talk is scoffed at by many, but I believe in decentralizing the internet as much as possible and am a big fan of Bittorrent.

To quote Satoshi Nakamoto, "For transferable proof of work tokens to have value, they must have monetary value. To have monetary value, they must be transferred within a very large network – for example a file trading network akin to bittorrent."
As a quick check, here's the first definition from a google search of social media:

It is customary to roast and eat, outer shell removed, pumpkin seeds (at least where I grew up) so I can totally imagine prehistoric herders doing the same to watermelon seeds.

Yes, if Apple wanted to bury, a Friday afternoon release would have been in order.

More likely these are new developments and Apple just heard of them relatively recently, keeping in mind that it's already Monday morning in China.

This is also quite likely retaliation from China for Biden's latest trade war actions. Apple, is after all, one of two major US companies whose share price has not been turned into rubble. Doing this days before Midterms, knowing how desperate the Democrats are, is perfect timing. If Apple's share price falls drastically, it will be headline news and will likely also materially impact most indexes.

What's the other major US company whose share price hasn't been rubble-ized? Why Tesla of course. And their biggest and - most likely - only profitable factory is in China.
Its a gosh darn good thing we don't implement policy based on things that ClumsyPilot has heard about!

> You seem to refer to some fictional country when you use “China”.

That's precisely how the One China policy works. That's literally what strategic ambiguity is about.

In a 1972 joint communiqué with the PRC, the United States "acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China" and "does not challenge that position."

So it's talking about a hypothetical sovereign authority that extends over both the Chinese mainland and Taiwan. At present, the U.S. government recognizes the ROC, based in Taipei, as that government. It's a legal fiction, yes, but one that remains unchanged since 1972.

> Is your point that US policy states that Taiwan is part of the PRC?

The point is U.S. policy states that mainland China is part of the ROC!

human resources (and the labor market, and the whole employment culture in general) in the US is very suboptimal :/

Also as I said in my comment, the people who want Trump banned do not want to prevent themselves from seeing his tweets, they want to prevent other people from seeing his tweets. This is what Mastodon prevents. If they just didn’t want to see the tweets themselves, they can block him.
