Nature abhors a vacuum. So where are the boom times going to go? Unless there s some kind of explosive growth in bioengineering , i doubt the old economies of banking or energy will boom back.
> Unverified accounts provide most of the good content on Twitter,

I don't think good content is the core value of twitter. In my perception value of twitter is who said what. Good or bad.

I don't use twitter and have contact with twitter only when it's cited elsewhere and bulk of most popular citations are mostly not "here's interesting thought someone had on twitter" but rather "this celebrity/politician/office tweeted that".
Thank you! I got interested in using scuttlebutt, I would like to get involved in a social network not used by many; was sad to see that it isn't maintained anymore, so probably not safe.
On top of all other advice here: choose your learning material wisely. Ask the existing communities to point you to the best resources for your objective and skill level, then use those resources for a fast-track dive into the topic rather than wasting your time on less helpful material.
Yes. And you should negotiate at the dealership too.
Unless you are somewhere remote a charge time > 16 hours might as well be infinite as you can charge it while you sleep. And I'm not just thinking about people being on call where a dedicated device makes sense but just your normal people emergencies that might happen to someone you care about that require immediate action on your part. Sure, those are exceptional but so are many other things you might prepare for. And I'm not saying that you are not allowed to disconnect if that's what you want, but chastising others for having a phone with them and turned on is, well, inconsiderate.

I also disagree that you owe anyone your attention. There are so many more situations where you are stuck being around people that are not you being literally trapped. This is even more true for kids who might not have full autonomy of where they spend their time.

But even when someone wants to spend time with you that doesn't mean that they owe you their attention. Certainly not their full attention for the entire time. Let people daydream a bit and let them check their phone once in a while. Remember that not everyone is the same as you. If get that offended by that then perhaps you're the problem.

> Using a phone in front of someone for any reason not relevant to the current activity or conversation is just a passive aggressive insult.

And sometimes a passive agressive insult is called for.

Also, I am pretty sure there are people who do want to watch you use a toilet.
> Tesla customers are a captive audience wholly dependent on a startup with no customer service.

People keep saying this but its just not true. Look at their growth in terms of service centers.

And their mobile service fleet is the largest in the US, and reduced the need to bring the car in. And their software capability allows for less trips due to software issue.

Of course their costumer service is not perfect, but given the growth they had its essentially impossible to keep up with customer service.

If you look at other car startups, dealerships also don't fall out of the clear blue sky. Had Telsa built with dealerships they very likely would have had very similar growth problems in terms of service capacity.

> Non-Tesla customers have virtually infinite options, and someone to actually take care of them. I suggest you read even the most die-hard Tesla fansites and see just how bad Tesla's anti-dealership strategy is for the customer.

Only browsing forums where people specifically to complain is selection bias.

And you can find forums like this for lots of dealerships and car companies.

"Whether one is outdoors or on a treadmill, walking improves the
generation of novel yet appropriate ideas, and the effect even
extends to when people sit down to do their creative work shortly
after."

This is actually quite profound. I actually associate walking with the surroundings. It's always pleasant to walk in a forest, or where there is lush greenery. If the surrounding does not matter, then I should stop finding excuses to not walk. An urban environment seems to make no difference.
Sure, as I said in the original comment I do think some of these attribute are present in some of the discourse.

OP however was less nuanced and more reductive.
Luxury options are by design "worse deal" - the margins on core product are way higher, so they don't have to push the bad deals on you that much. You've chosen it by going there in a first place.

Now, that does not mean that you can't get higher, valuable utility from luxury vehicle.
(Oops! Added the crucial missing word, "half". I thought I checked carefully, bad me. Sorry for the sloppiness. Yes, full marathon is something else! )

Nice work yourself on your transition, go you! :-)

Two hours for a full marathon was the "Breaking 2" project[1] that Eliud Kipchoge finally achieved [in Vienna, a separate event]. It's inhumanly lung-busting. I wouldn't get there in a million lifetimes!

On stats: totally! I'm not at all obsessing over it; just using high-level stats as a moderate motivation. I also don't look at my watch (only use it for running) at every lap or anything like that. Headphones: I have a rule of "no music at all" for running. It's my way to tame the inner dragons. (For walks, I do use the headphones, though. And you're totally right on mixing it up; neuroscience backs up your suggestion too.)

I live in SF. I feel like speeding is not really a problem in the city proper as the roads are narrow and etc. The "natural" speed limit is the same or lower than the legal speed limit. On the highways I go 80-something mph, which is legally speeding but is the typical "flow of traffic" in the left lane.
Very cool, that's definitely not a common feature in every other debugger /s
Good idea. Thanks for sharing
I deeply oppose the reading of history that judge historical events and persons with today's moral. With that measurement your grandparents would properly hold immoral opinions. Historical context is essential and I hope future generations also apply this when judging us.
Yes, indeed. At a crucial place I missed the word "half"; corrected it. Sorry for the sloppiness, once again.
That's like saying people selling food during the actual gold rush were brilliantly capitalising on it and equivalent to the ones selling shovels.
AFAIK, BTC and ETH have been classified as commodities - would FTX have to adhere to Commodity Exchange Act?
In this blog post, we'll discuss how implementing a contract management strategy can help firms shorten the contract lifecycle to increase efficiency and returns.
I don't know any courses teaching OS courses using Minix today (though there's probably one at VU Amsterdam).

Many courses use MIT's xv6 nowadays, but as a modern lookalike of 6th Edition Unix, this is a quite traditionally structured OS. I don't think there are any textbooks teaching OS design and implementation starting from a microkernel architecture.

For me, Douglas Comer's Xinu book was my first OS textbook, but in my own OS courses, I let the students develop an OS on bare-metal RISC-V from scratch.
They hold inventory. That's a massive benefit to both the consumer and the manufacturer. Even if you dismiss everything else they provide (which would be unwise), that itself is enough to justify their existence.
It’s completely trivial to store and transfer money on the order of millions of dollars. What “large amount” are you talking about?

Also no, there’s no risk of a bank run in the US due to other protective systems such as FDIC.
That's a good summary, I agree those are two separate issues.
"That inverse doesn’t exist." That is my new math contribution apparently then. I am happy to explain my proof.

I can inverse f(x)=f(x+1) easily as g(x)=f(x)-1 since g(f(x)) = x do you understand my functional inversion approach now better?
Sure, but i would kind of expect the readme document to explain what happens (what is the consistency model) since this is not an obscure case but basically the primary use case for an ACID database like sqlite.
Walking, running, cooking... In fact anything other than engaging with the creative task in hand, are known to aid creatively. The thing they have in common is that they are all physical activities which requires little mental demand.

These habits are the stock in trade of jobbing artists and designers.

Many of my students in London art schools seem to believe that a short cut to creativity is drugs. What they are missing is the engagement of the body in the thinking/feeling process.

Thank you
> Always when I start a new project I wonder what programming language I should use. Most of the time the requirements are the same. It must be fast, typed and the result must presentable on a website. Especially I would like to keep it as simple as possible. C is usually my language of choice when the logic doesn't get too complicated.

Another vote why I should stick with C.
There are some pretty good points in your comment and I'll agree that context is key here - the project, the team and even particular tech choices will have a lot of impact on what exactly you'll be dealing with and what might be the correct tool for the job.

> This of course all is heavily debatable and only based on my personal experience, but your statistics are missing the value for the amount of people who are actually "good at sql".

That said, one cannot just optimize for people who are good at a particular technology and instead one needs to look at the market averages, for the locale that they're in (unless they have that many choices of what culture to work in in the first place). In my case, where I am, we are still mostly on board with ACID and RDBMSes, however DBAs are, while not exactly a fleeting career, on the downturn (probably about 20 years away from being as obsolete as "GlassFish Server Manager", much like the DevOps trend digs into Ops engineer positions).

Sure, most people are okay with running EXPLAIN PLAN occasionally, but putting significant amounts of logic in the DB is usually a pain to deal with. I've seen first hand how much of a dumpster fire a system that has like 90% of the logic in the DB eventually gets: stored procedures for rendering forms, stored procedures for data validations, stored procedures for persisting data, with absolutely ALL of the issues that I mentioned before. Making changes in it was a mess, figuring out which of the hundred or so packages even needed the changes was a pain, the naming was nonsensical (due to length limitations for DB objects), it's like someone tried coding in a language that wasn't meant for writing proper code.

Of course, I've also seen some bad projects in the more traditionally tiered architectures, but none were as bad as the DB-centric design. That's my anecdotal experience, on which I'll base most of my future tech stack decisions. Of course, sometimes in-database processing is just the right way to go about things, especially in something like PostGIS where you don't have many options app-side for handling certain kinds of operations on the data, or need to do them without N+1 issues or too much network I/O due to latency.
Except in this case they're a mild and moderate majority trying to
preserve the institutions and educational prospects of their students
that are teetering on brink of crisis.

I would say that in the next couple of years we'll see 20% of British
universities go to the wall, either as bankruptcy or takeovers, a
tragedy directly attributable to mismanagement by failing to focus on
core priorities.

When it comes to standing up for my students, most of whom have come
places like Sri Lanka, Nigeria and Ghana and even Somalia (where
they're literally starving to death), and who have gambled their
family life savings on the one smart son or daughter (up to £25,000)
I'll take on the "extremist" role of defending them with pride. I hope
you'd have the courage too.
I've wondered a lot about a hypothetical scenario where people organize and crowdfund a pool of money with the intent of disbursing it to anyone who votes for the legislation they want. For example, vote to codify Roe and you can get a slice of the pie. It's almost surely explicitly illegal though, but the absurdly wealthy are already playing this game, why can't we do it too?
My dealership tried to sell me tires at $300/each. At a tire shop I got comparable tires for about 60% of that.

Dealerships make a lot of money via convenience (you’re already here for your 30k service) and just plain ignorance (most people have no idea what makes their car work or what repair cost is fair).
The overestimation comes partially from the design of the road - for example wide open roads with many lanes feel safe to speed on. You can correct this perception by tightening lanes or adding trees etc.
Even if he did leave it up, can you be fired like that over Twitter?

Surely there's legit pr shit that has to be done first.
Partly agreed. I am not accusing them of making up facts, but of slanting things far beyond any reasonable "objective and factual information source" standard.

(Note that I am so old and centrist that I still believe journalists should care about society being relatively cohesive and peaceful, with a good long-term future. The Spectator both obviously believing otherwise and being very closely tied to Britain's (currently ruling) Conservative Party...that strikes me as a pretty bad sign.)
At one point there were half a dozen ex-Be Inc engineers working on Android... Dianne Hackbourne and Ficus Kirkpatrick come to mind, but there were more.

In the linked statement there are exactly two mentions of decolonisation.

Firstly on p6:

> Values of EDI [Equality, Diversity and Inclusion] should permeate the curriculum and every aspect of the learning experience to ensure the diverse nature of society in all its forms is evident. MSOR providers should reflect on their curricula and processes to ensure that no group is disadvantaged or othered; for example, decolonising the curriculum can involve explicit reflection on the history of MSOR knowledge generation, as well as reflecting on how delivery or admission practices might adversely impact on certain subgroups within the student cohort. EDI aspects of student engagement and achievement should be monitored and actions formed to ensure equity.

Then on p. 7:

> the curriculum should present a multicultural and decolonised view of MSOR, informed by the student voice. Where possible, it should present the work of a diverse group of MSOR practitioners. Students should be made aware of problematic issues in the development of the MSOR content they are being taught, for example some pioneers of statistics supported eugenics, or some mathematicians had connections to the slave trade, racism or Nazism. Students should be educated in general EDI matters and also those that are specifically elevant to MSOR, such as the need to consider diversity in data collection
and analysis.

I sympathise with the idea that this isn't particularly relevant to the content of mathematics. But I see nothing in the above that suggests social constructivism or challenges objective knowledge.
Read up on heart-rate zones; this is a decent post[1]. Basically, you should be able to comfortably hold a conversation throughout the run. I learnt that many serious athletes train a lot for it. Improving zone-2 fitness apparently contributes in a non-trivial way to zone 3-5 fitness! But don't get too hung up on these stats (I didn't bother at all for the first 5 months of running), but follow that golden rule of "listen to your body" to differentiate "good pain" vs. "bad pain".

Funnily enough, my father does (at the local equivalent). Surprisingly, it almost always works.

Even in chain stores for hardware/DIY or white goods (fridges, washing machines, etc) there is almost always leeway for haggling to some degree on higher priced items.

He works in the automotive industry, where haggling is basically mandatory - if you don't haggle, you are going to get shafted. Its the same at builders merchants and lumber suppliers.
> For instance, instead of presenting a proposal like the one hand at hand "top down" - which now meets a predictable opposition - it could be a more successful long-term strategy to get all of the affected people into the same boat first, and then move forward with strong support, rather than dropping suggestions for what appear like radical changes.

But this isn't a "top down" proposal to change everything. This is a 30 page document by an independent rankings agency that mentions "decolonisation" twice, both in sentences which advise mentioning the historical context of certain mathematical developments (congratulations, your lecture mentions in passing that Spearman came up with his rank correlation coefficient in part to justify his horrible racial hierarchy theories, but it's useful for other things too. Curriculum decolonised!) which I suspect some lecturers have been doing for years. Some people are going to disagree no matter what the change is and how it's suggested.

Examples of actual "top down" proposals in the culture war come from government ministers insisting that the National Trust shouldn't be referencing Churchill's position on India in its Churchill exhibitions lest it paint him in a less-than-heroic light and threatening to make university funding contingent on universities hosting particular speakers. For some reason HN is convinced that student petitions and consultation documents are a more egregious abuse of power though...

Oh but my grandparents do. "Historical context" doesn't make something right. Colonization has always been objectively bad - it decimated and exploited populations and cultures, to name just one of many effects.

Many of said historical events and persons were immoral with the morals of back then as well. Murder has always been bad. Slavery has always been immoral. Genocide has always been bad, but guess what happened when the Spanish invaded the Americas?
Graphics are also so-so. Unless you do really specific graphics work (like movie cgi) it’s a no go for a lot of professionals.
Agreed. Maybe my use of infrastructure is improprer. I meant it to encompass farmland. We had problems with the salt wedge underground when the Po river had not enough water this summer, the sea entered the river mouth for kilometers and farmers couldn't pump fresh water from underground because it got salty.
Unfortunately the selection of criticisms is not great. I agree with some, but then it mixes it with things like

>The UK Office for National Statistics has already succumbed to such ideas, proposing that respondents should be allowed to self-identify their sex in the 2021 census.

This is something we've been doing in my country for decades and I don't see a problem with it (the alternative is to ask the person that does the census to take a guess on the gender of the person...sometimes it's easy, sometimes not so much)

Uh, last I checked, Euro-centric biology or chemistry didn't involve talking about Wille zum Leben or élan vital. Why does 'decolonized' science need to get involved with this totally unscientific woo?
They had to register as a licensed bank because E-money-institutes are a recent addition to EU law long after PayPal obtained its banking license.

The law is written such that you are either allowed to do nothing or you are a full blown bank. There is no carveout for startups or anyone who doesn't want to run a full bank.
What irks me more is that we can't have a discussion about the past without people automatically jumping to the conclusion that we are justifying it. An explanation is not a justification unless everything is deterministic.
> I can't really think of a meaningful definition that would single out European powers between the 16th and early 20th century

>> the policy or practice of acquiring full or partial political control over another country, occupying it with settlers, and exploiting it economically while forcing its own language and cultural values upon its people.

Ancient Egypt and the Roman empire weren't colonial powers by this definition. I do not know a lot about China, but Sinicisation seems to fit colonial markers, so the first empire to really colonize should be chinese? The Umayad Califate in some sense too, but I think i'm missing the idea of "pressure" and "force" in the definition.

I think you want at least two to cover people missing obvious solutions as well as provide a second pair of eyes when finding issues.

And because two means if there is a reason one person isn't around loses the benefits two people gives you then I'd argue three is the minimum size you should aim for.

You have a point with being aware of where the “you” ends and things out of “your influence” begin. Accepting that something’s can’t be changed is a good point to reflect that “your” happiness should come from internally - the external is a bonus. Failure to accept this puts others and external factors in control of “your” happiness.
