That's dumb. GM has good mothballed marques (Pontiac, Buick, etc.) they could use but no, they're going to inflate the Corvette into a new one. This is technically Ford's fault for making that hideous electric mustang crossover. At least Stellantis (Chrysler/Fiat/Dodge, etc.) is keeping things clear.

> Calling “0.999… = 1” very unintuitive is a very strange thing to say, because that makes perfect sense to most children.

Gotta call bullshit on that. First I don't think you have any robust empirical data on that question.

Second what's convincing to children that don't have enough knowledge of math to have formed any intuitions about it is not a compelling argument.
Very similar experience, I often open the app and it is still hung up on my previous (completed) order and I have to clear out the cart. And like you said, the "offers" are good (actually McD has raised prices quite a bit, now with the offers I'm paying about the same as face value was only a few years ago).

I will also say, despite the issues, it's better than most competitors. BK and Wendy's apps are both full of problems as well. I have had multiple accepted and paid orders on the Burger King app, when I got to the store they didn't have the item, weren't accepting mobile orders, or were totally closed.

It means the method producing the sample most representative of the population. It's fairly obvious they're not asking about (say) budget/cost minimization on a statistics test.
That's quite interesting. Who enforces the parking limits? Surely the city has a very advantageous negotiating position if the city is responsible for enforcement.
Once you’ve introduced a state based caching and differentiation layer, you’re introducing retention and are entering into hybrid UI. If you don’t have sufficient caching layers to figure out when something has to update, you’re drawing too often killing battery.

Maybe there are fewer purely immediate mode UI libraries today, which muddies the discussion though.

On the note of the apps used, I would say the vast majority of apps I run only have a few elements updating at any given time. Most of them are based on scrolling for navigation but that’s a small part of what I do. Photo viewing and editing, viewing sites, replying to messages or mail, listening to music. Very little is a full screen update, and if it is, UIKit and SwiftUI are caching large amounts of the view objects to keep things snappy and only doing it when they receive input that requires it. Can immediate GUIs do that too? Of course, but again you enter the domain of retention.

Determining how much a contract will cost to deploy is really easy for blockchain devs (the "user-friendly" resources probably don't make this easy because it's not relevant to people who aren't doing it).

Transactions on Ethereum all contain a certain amount of data which will live on the blockchain forever (often ~100 bytes, for non-contract-deployment transactions). Ethereum processes one block every 12 seconds, and blocks can contain up to 1 MB of data, so effectively people "bid" to get their transactions on by including the fee-per-byte they're willing to spend with their transaction (I'm glossing over a lot here, they're also bidding on computation resources for transactions which call code, and there is some dynamic targeting of fees, all to say that block sizes are typically much closer to 80 KB than 1MB)

In order to get an idea of how much it would cost to deploy a contract, you first compile it (get the bytecode size) and then look at the typical "gas cost" (what transactions are currently paying in fees). You can get this data from the chain directly, or go to https://etherscan.io/ and look at the "Med gas price" (currently 14 gwei, or 0.000000014 ETH). Your dev tooling can tell you how much gas should be required to deploy the contract based on the bytecode size, the storage (space in the virtual machine reserved for that contract's variables), and the amount of computation that needs to happen in the contract's constructor.

Once you know how much gas will be required to deploy the contract (the "gas amount") you multiply that by the gas price to get an amount of ETH. A very large contract might cost 8 million gas to deploy (gas is basically a unit used by the Ethereum virtual machine to price operations and storage). So if that's you, you multiply that by 0.000000014 ETH and get 0.112 ETH at the current gas price. If you want to pay less, you could always submit your transaction with a lower gas price (like 0.000000001 ETH lets say, to pay closer to 0.01 ETH); it'll just take longer to get validated (an indeterminate amount of time depending on how heavily the network is being used)

Obviously I've glossed over a lot here to make things more approachable, but hopefully that explains the situation well enough.

By the way, the tooling around blockchain development is still really primitive relative to its complexity; but contract deployment gas estimation isn't too hard for anyone doing it.

I blame bean counters for that kind of nonsense
FWIW, ChatGPT answered this in one go:

"It is best for the university to use the 90 questionnaires that were submitted as the final sample. Since the university selected a random sample of 120 students and only 90 responded, those 90 responses provide a representative sample of the opinions of this year’s freshman class. Starting over with a new sample or adding 30 more students to the sample could introduce bias into the results. Additionally, sending another email to the 30 students who did not respond may not be effective in increasing the response rate."

Using a more powerful computer won't really change development costs all that much; but it could seriously affect BOM costs. Amazon wants to buy absurd numbers of this, so it's not unreasonable that they've tried to heavily cut costs in the BOM.

I believe it's possible to report this as a "missed optimisation" bug.
Men's nipples are probably useful for the same reason many electronic products have various things on their circuit boards that aren't used: on those products, it's cheaper to manufacture a single circuit board to cover multiple variations of the product, and just attach the components needed for that particular model, leaving the rest unused. Genetically, it's probably easier for men and women to just share the same genetic code that produces nipples.
No? Even genocides leave descendants. Moreover, who was doing this hypothetical genocide that didn't have kids?

As I said before, it's not logically impossible that a highly populous society existed in the pleistocene. But the constraints it would have to fit grow increasingly contorted as the state of knowledge improves. At some point it starts to resemble a small colony of advanced alien settlers who landed one day and disappeared a short while later. That explanation might honestly be easier to account for than what some people propose, since they don't have to develop their tech from scratch here on Earth.
The difference in this case is that Ford knew about a specific issue, figured out how it could be fixed, and deliberately decided not to fix it for purely financial reasons.

Yes, the Pinto was not, in total, more dangerous than its competitors. But this was a case of egregious corporate misconduct.
> We actually know a fair bit about what happens if you discard the axiom of choice; mostly because Banach-Tarski made it so controversial.

Do you have any more information about this? Is there an overview somewhere? The major work I know in this area is Reverse Mathematics, but I otherwise thought it was relatively unexplored. Emphasis on “relatively”.

My impression here is that Banach-Tarski reveals “flaws” not just in ZFC but in ZF, and that while we may want to reevaluate the axiom of choice, we should be looking at the rest of ZF as well.

> As for calculus, it doesn't require the existence of infinities or infinitesimals.

The question was never “can you do calculus?” but “HOW do you do calculus?” Maybe I should clarify what I originally said and elaborate. Forgive me for imprecise wording here, and forgive me for being too verbose, I’m trying to get across a specific point and I’ll be stomping across some flower gardens to get there.

The current, mainstream form of calculus is based on real analysis and measure theory, which in turn, makes heavy use of infinite sets, excluded middle, and the axiom of choice. When I say that calculus is “based on” real analysis, what I really mean is that calculus was invented, and then later, people invented real analysis to provide a rigorous framework for doing calculus with real numbers.

I might ask, “What are the most important theorems in calculus?” The second theorem which comes to mind is the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem, which involves infinite sequences and is the foundation for many other core results in calculus. Real numbers are themselves typically defined in terms of infinity—either as Dedekind cuts (infinite sets) or Cauchy sequences (infinite sequences). You don’t have to do calculus on real numbers, but real numbers are surely a very convenient tool for the kind of calculus we want to do, and some of the most important properties of real numbers have backed us into a corner w.r.t. how real numbers are constructed—namely, constructions satisfying “complete ordered Archimedean field”.

If you decide that you still want to do calculus but you don’t want to do real analysis, the most popular alternative is nonstandard analysis, which has actual infinitesimal numbers. The main advantage of nonstandard analysis is that it provides a rigorous framework for manipulating infinitesimals, which may perhaps be more intuitive that working with differential forms. With nonstandard analysis, you can eliminate limits from a lot of your definitions, because you can use actual infinitesimal numbers instead. At that point, you’re working with non-Archimedean fields.

So, to summarize, two likely candidates for the foundations of calculus are:

- Real analysis, with heavy use of infinite sets,

- Nonstandard analysis, with infinitesimal numbers.

I ask, HOW do you do calculus without either? What does the field of calculus look like without either? When you are doing calculus in a strict finitist world, what definition do you come up with for “real number”?

The big bang explains it on a cosmological level, the sun drives it on a local level. Because basically all our energy is harvested in the process of entropy relaxing from the sun, via earth, to the coldness of outer space, we are in a local entropy gradient that is very steep and has one direction down.
The linked article (to the extent that it's credible) suggests that:

1. Having any less-common color raises the price of insurance because, in the event of damage, the car will be more expensive to repaint. "For example, metallic paint can be more expensive than a standard colour and therefore the car may be more expensive to replace."
2. Gray and silver cars are the most likely to get into accidents, not red. (Red is #3.)
3. A price comparison site quoted the highest insurance rates for gray and black cars, not red.

>Every Car Is a Pinto

>"As everyone knows, cars are highly volatile machines, seemingly made of tissue paper, birch bark and lighter fluid. Or so you would think by how often, easily and massively they explode." — WatchMojo, "Top 10 Worst Action Movie Clichés"

>Car damage = instant fireball.

>Any significant impact to a vehicle, particularly when falling off a cliff, will result in the vehicle exploding and/or immediately catching fire. Evidently fictional cars run on nitroglycerine. This trope comes from the public knowledge that vehicles are full of flammable substances like gasoline minus the less-public knowledge that liquid gasoline has to be vaporized and mixed with air at the proper ratio before a spark will ignite it. At worst your "exploding" car would actually be a car with a small fire. Needless to say, Rule of Cool is in full effect here.

>While cars are the most common vehicle to go kaboom, it seems that any form of transport has a good chance of exploding in a huge ball of flames and debris if it's shot at or wrecked. Aircraft, locomotives, ships: pretty much anything gas-powered and motorized is a fireball waiting to happen. Sometimes vehicles tumbling off cliffs will burst into flames spontaneously, in midair, before they've even hit the ground. Some pretty egregious instances might even have them mushroom. Expect it to intersect frequently with Dangerous Clifftop Road (as in the page image).

>The Trope Namer is the now-infamous Ford Pinto, a low-cost car launched by the Ford Motor Company in 1970. Its fatal flaw was that its gas tank was placed between the rear axle and the bumper — and the bumper itself was not sturdy — meaning that any damage to the car's back end could easily puncture the tank and spill fuel on the hot exhaust pipe. After several incidents when a Pinto burst into flames after a minor collision, its reputation as a cheap death trap was sealed, and it was taken off the market in 1980 to be replaced by the North American Ford Escort.
I can't speak for every bigcorp but at my work I installed firefox completely on my own, and once in a blue moon I get an email from IT telling me I need to update firefox (usually I just need to restart ff).

My favorite seat was actually on the lower level. The furthest forward window seat on either side (usually 1A or 1K) was unique. It’s directly below the cockpit and the fuselage is curved at that point so you get the almost pilot-like view out the window of facing forward.

> Arizona has the reputation of being a desert, but in reality it is a state that is half-desert and half-mountain, and has a tons of water.

The mountainous areas are 'high deserts'. Most of Arizona's water is underground. It's being pumped out faster than it's replaced. Old wells go dry all the time, because newer wells are deeper.

This paper is written by a German psychiatrist, describing the emergence of this phenomenon in Germany, and across the first world.

They advocate naming this illness as a new type of "mass sociogenic illness (MSI) (also known as ‘mass psychogenic illness’, MPI) that in contrast to all previously reported episodes of MSI is spread solely via social media and hence is not locally restricted." "...we therefore suggest the more specific term ‘mass social media-induced illness’ (MSMI)"

‘mass social media-induced illness’ (MSMI)

I think they could have left the "-induced" part out of this name 8-/

The psychological effects on a person, in their opinions, "happiness", sense of urgency, priority of issues, etc, based on what that person spends their waking hours viewing/reading/listening to, is still a vastly uncharted territory. No doubt the CIA/FBI/Military could shed some light if they would declassify their records of torture and mind control.

But likely the worlds wealthiest people, via their corporations based on manipulating peoples mental state for the purpose of maximizing resource extraction, are already breaking new ground well beyond the now primitive efforts of "MK Ultra" etc.

The simplest way to minimize the effects of ‘mass social media illness’, is not to participate. Not only in what's typically labeled "social media', but in any form of internet media, especially video formatted, that is allegedly seeking to communicate information, or present an opinion/position.

READ if you want to learn, WATCH if you want to be manipulated!

With text, information is taken in at the speed and cadence chosen by the reader. When watching, a person is a passive subject to the presenter. Images and especially moving video manipulate each individuals psychology in ways that are largely not well understood, and certainly massively under appreciated by the overwhelming majority of this type of media's viewers.

To try to express how broad of a subject this is, one could compare this article on Twerk Tik Tourette's with the mechanizations of "surveillance consumerism", as well as the overwhelming variety of modern neurotic behaviors and anxieties experienced by those in continuous media immersion, thus primarily young people in the first world.

The most straight forward "cure"? GO OUTSIDE! Bathe your senses in organic images, sounds, and the ultimate high resolution, 3D integrated sensory experience!

In short, get up and walk out!

Any rule which would punish Carlsen would also inevitably punish the innocent, since Carlsen already did nothing wrong.
Not for me:

"Of the options provided, the best option would be to send another email to the 30 students who did not respond to the initial questionnaire, encouraging them to complete it. This would allow the university to increase the response rate and collect more comprehensive data. Starting over with a new sample of 120 students would be time-consuming and may not necessarily produce better results, since there is no guarantee that the new sample would have a higher response rate. Using the 90 questionnaires that were submitted as the final sample would not provide a representative sample of the entire freshman class, and choosing 30 more students at random and emailing them the questionnaire would not address the low response rate from the initial sample."
> Best thing that could have happened to him.

Yup. IME, the best way for a spouse to leave you is for someone else.

When they have someone that they're in a hurry to settle down with, they're unlikely to argue over splitting of assets, or custody of pets, or access to children, because they want the process over as soon as possible.

When they are leaving you because they are unhappy with you, then they'll argue over every single petty and trivial thing, and drag out the process for two years.

Sure, it may hurt more when you find out that they've been cheating, but that will still be less painful when they take out their frustration with you using the kids visitation schedule.
