It's hard to control for population effects for sure, but I don't think anyone has successfully done the control you stated. There are a ton of studies finding varying effects like improving "good" cholesterol, and reducing chance of coronary heart disease. But it's also been speculated to have hormetic effects, so just tossing it in there as a plausible. It wouldn't be surprising given how the vegetable thing might work.

Given alcohol crosses cultural and religious lines too, that also makes it harder to find unbiased analyses.

My personal rate of consumption is 125ml of red wine per day. That's just about in the sweet spot if there is one for beneficial effects. Also one of the better forms of alcohol for them. At any rate it's unlikely to do significant harm and is fun to consume. I'd like to note I have family members over 100 who drank red wine every day, and it might also be part of the "french paradox"
For sure. Other places have gotten better, and Amazon has gotten worse for me. The way I interpret it is that Amazon started out with a really strong customer focus, but they've shifted more and more toward revenue maximization at my expense.

There are plenty of companies that will custom-manufacture gaskets for prototyping/custom 1-off jobs, though I don't know if they're generally geared up to sell to end-customers in a streamlined way.

The tools generally used are "flash cutters"[1] (the industrial version of your wife's vinyl cutter); waterjet cutters; or laser cutters. They're all CNC controlled. You need a DXF or other vector file to send to these machines. They're often quite user-friendly now, with either projectors or cameras to help position the cuts on the workpiece, and vacuum-beds which make holding down material quick and easy.

What do you mean by saying £500k government homes? Is this a policy or a consequence of a housing shortage?
That solution is terrible, with a bad algorithm that requires O(tree_height) space (the optimal one involves temporarily using left/right pointers as a parent pointer so that you only need constant space) and lacking any sort of assembly optimization, being worse than what a compiler would produce (e.g. it's a real mystery how the author managed to decide that local_right should be spilled on the stack).

Definitely not what you want to submit to someone testing your programming skills.

Why not store it as a byte array?
Thanks for the pointers!
The variables on the stack are the most efficient after registers, so you are right that a local variable should be kept into a register if possible, otherwise in the stack, and only then in other places (e.g. if it is too large for the stack).

However, when writing in assembly one must pay attention that at least RBX, RBP and R12 through R15 must be preserved by any function (on Windows also RDI and RSI must be preserved).

So in your code you should not use RBX, but a volatile register, e.g. RDX or RCX. If you would insist on using RBX, it would have to be saved and restored.

Quote: "... and higher unemployment are battering household finances..."

But but wasn't Brexit suppose to fix unemployment? Wasn't the entire idea that once the foreigners are no longer welcoming the rising market will start employ the local population and drive down unemployment? And yet, almost 3 years later (Jan 1st is around the corner) the unemployment is still rising. Who would've thought that isolating yourself is not actually a benefit for a capitalist market.

I mean history is a forgettable science after all, none thought that past lessons of isolation of Japan or China from centuries ago would still be applicable to today's situation /s

Counterpoint: Assuming Musk doesn't completely burn all remaining tech goodwill (which is a huge assumption), Twitter is probably the easiest entry point to a company with large scale that is also well known and will be a resume boost. Given two candidates, one who managed Twitter's datacenter and one who managed the datacenter for Mutual of Omaha, I'd posit that the former would have an easier hop onto the next rung of the ladder.
> then my choice of instance is also dictated by how other admins manage their servers & ToS.

I don't think that framing is quiet right. I think it's more accurate to say that "my choice of instance is also dictated by the servers that I wish to interact with". It's not random admins, it's the admins for the servers you wish to communicate with.

But again, if you don't like the rules that server is operating on, you're not forced to interact with it.

Also interesting to note obesity and inactive lifestyle are the leading causes of type 2 diabetes, so overweight individuals not becoming diabetic may reduce overall strain on diabetes medication supply.
I think their point is more that it's not frowned upon by people with lots of power and/or money. US policy very often aligns with the interests of the rich, and being able to buy the policy they want is very much in the interests of the rich.
Yes. The linked post says Japan is the 4th largest importer of wood. My geography professor in 1981 told us about it being cheaper to send raw wood logged in the Pacific Northwest to Japan for finishing than it was to ship it across the country. And, in Collapse I think, Jared Diamond talks about Japan "exporting" its deforestation to less-developed countries. Other countries do this too (and for other natural resources too), of course, but any of the "sustainability" of these old practices is greatly outweighed by the damage done by mass logging in the less-developed countries.

FYI, this type of speech modulation is generally called the Lombard effect or Lombard speech, although it usually doesn't go full Whale. If you search on Intelligibility-enhancing speech modifications: the Hurricane Challenge, you can find some interesting papers, there's a pretty deep rabbit hole there. One of the methods, SSDRC[2], specifically tries to modulate speech into that pattern. Of course, when I tried to apply it (from an earlier paper), it took quite some time to dig up their Matlab code which refused to run on my speech samples (recorded numbers, etc, for voice call verifications of phone number control). Oh well.

As someone who grew up solidly middle class and went to a near Ivy private university and dropped out, I thought I was under educated about "life" and felt the need to enlist in the military.

There, I found out that people who grow up poor looked at me like I was a total idiot. There were daily reminders that I grew up privileged. That my brief stint as an enlisted scrub were not enough to understand what it meant when the military was your only option.

That said, I benefited greatly by not having an actual war during my tenure, having access to distance learning education, and finishing a degree there. I learned that I could get a super low rate VA mortgage as well. These things made a lot of difference and saved me at least a decade of working shit jobs to catch up with my peers after getting out of the military.

In contrast, my fellow enlisted from poverty never aspired to anything more than Chief (US Navy) (edit - nothing wrong with Chief Petty Officer - enlisted vs officer was a real class thing as I recall and it stays with me, sorry). That is, if they made it past the DUIs, economic/financial shame of buying expensive cars and crashing them, bad relationships with rampant abuse, etc.

As someone who could "see hope" because I wasn't mired in poverty's terrible view, I could actually take advantage of what military life offered.

I cannot adequately describe what it is like to be surrounded by people from poverty: to live with them, experience their pain vicariously, and not understand WHY they couldn't do what I was able to do.

The mindset is a real handicap. Changing your mindset is the core of moving from one place in life to another. I will never forget that lesson. Come to think of it, I know wealthy people stuck in detrimental mindsets. But that is another discussion.

> It is absolutely bizarre to me how half-assed Google is with integrating its products

The answer can be summed up in one word: "privacy".

There are two forces at play here. One side wants privacy. When they give data to Google Calendar, they don't want Google Maps or Ads know about it. The other side (your opinion above) wants more integration between services.

In this political climate, the privacy side has an edge. This means if Google Photos want to access data on Google Calendar to provide the integration you asked above, they will have to jump through multiple quarters of privacy reviews, with a very high odd of being shutdown.

> All these big tech companies seem to just give up on any kind of significant innovation as soon as they reach a certain level of monopoly on their market

After I see how the sausages are made, I think claims like these are naive. It's worth learning more about the factors at play before criticizing something. More often than not, the agents are acting pretty rationally based on the situation.
I’m not sure if you realized it but you just further answered OPs question and validated my point at the same time.

GM did receive bailouts and I never even implied otherwise.

So you have existing automakers (GM) who were already in a weak position due to the 2008 crisis and used the bailouts merely to keep *current* operations afloat. I’m not saying it was right for them to be bailed out but that’s what happened. Importantly, it didn’t put them in position to spend a lot of money on EV development, it was life support.

On the other hand you have a startup (Tesla) who was running out of runway to fund their product development of EVs. In this case they could put 100% of the bailout towards EV development. That was just the start, the billions in government subsidies that followed allowed them to not only pay back that loan ultimately but got them to where they are today (a bit of securities fraud helped as well). This wasn’t just life support it was a lot of runway for a startup.

Hopefully the above makes it obvious that government subsidies are indeed the primary answer to why he was able to “walk into that area and do so much better than experienced traditional automakers” as without them Tesla wouldn’t even exist.

The thing with that is corporations can defer profits until the rate falls again, while in the mean time you encourage people to open new premises elsewhere. So the take is not remotely linear in the percentage.

If only. Of course, you mean the EU.

But the UK has run a trade deficit of $60bn with the EU for the last 10 years or so. Leaving hasn't helped that, but staying wouldn't have either.

Something has to change in the relationship - something deep and real. The fundamental is the competitive advantage that the Euro confers on the German economy. Brexit is a way it can change overtime, there won't be an advantage for the UK, just an emergent state that is sustainable. The UK will be poorer in the present - but may avoid a Greece style implosion.

Truss showed that may is important here.

I get that he's not the most tasteful individual out there, but this seems like a questionable parallel to draw.
Very important for people to understand this. For high earners (100-200k), marginal tax rates can already pass 60%. That is an income which is locally considered very high but compared to our Atlantic cousins is somewhat more normal.

I will be thousands of pounds worse off per year under the new tax plans, but I'm OK with that because I understand that it is necessary. However, we are rapidly approaching most people's tolerance limit in this regard; unless the next government does a very good job of tackling economic injustice it feels like people will just give up - at which point the only way is down.

Now, what "give up" really looks like is key - I feel like widespread civil unrest is far closer than most people realize, but before that there will be a further decline in social cohesion. Right now it feels like this story is being masked by the Ukraine situation.

Can’t blame the world for finally starting to fight back.

If the UK government had war gamed this scenario, they would have realized many preparatory actions that could have been taken to protect their economy.

Not a book but Hellerstein’s CS186 from 2015 starting with Lecture 17 gave me a basic understanding (I think).

Also from that lecture series, the low level is always IO. One disk read tends to dwarf n^2 in-memory algorithms.

And IO is all about tuning caches and hardware for the specific structural relationships in the data, the way in which it is accessed, and the hardware everything runs on.

Good luck.
