> Who would grow your food?

>> There are exceptions of course.

There are about 2M farmers and ranchers in the US. 22M health care professionals. 4M teachers. 2M truckers, 135k rail workers, 40k miners, etc.

Even at our highest employment levels, under half of those in the US are employed. They're just not counted as unemployed because they're either children, in school, retired, or simply not seeking employment.

Yes, I do believe that most jobs are superfluous - that many more people could not have to work without a material impact to the availability of goods.
misaligned incentives. people get rewarded for simply publishing SOMETHING. look at companies, bootcamps, whatever the hell. most promotions are given bc you've written some low effort blog post that really add nothing to the broader intelligence of software building. hell, even bootcamps are like "go write/publish something!!" and most of these people have barely a clue as to how software operates. GL sifting through all of that useless content

i wouldn't be surprised if a very large percentage of the last decade of tech blog posts are just remnants of someone's promotion, and is now hyperlinked on some resume, or linkedin page
There are a bunch of photos showing the test fixtures that they're using to measure frame flex which pretty clearly show what they're constraining and where they're adding force with the cylinder. It's not a free body diagram and it doesn't show the rider, but what exactly are you looking for?
that hasn't been a relevant cultural force for at least a decade
> It made addresses have real meaning.

In the spirit of this observation, here are some fun ways to place addresses in (some of) Manhattan.

- First of all, "evens go east," so 20th St runs to the East and 21st to the West (14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd, 57th, and 59th are the primary two-way, E/W thoroughfares (I think you just have to memorize those, but note that they line up with the stops on many of the N/S subway lines))

- Street numbers pivot on 5th Ave and increase in each direction from there, so if you know the street number, you know which two avenues it's between. For example, when I lived at 4xx W 45th St, that was between 9th and 10th, which can be deduced from the first number of the address added to 5 (5 + 4 = 9, so the address is West of 9th).

- If you need to remember the order of Lexington -> Park -> Madison, just remember, "Let's party, motherfucker" :)
Interesting concept, keep going!
Very different. The earth being a globe is observable and is a fact. Evolution is a theory and is not observable at all. It is all based on a huge assumption (we THINK that is how things happened).
The wide-spread acceptance of evolution is because of lack of another explanation of how life must have come into existence when you cannot bring yourself to give any possibility to a supernatural entity.
That is kind of exciting though! I'm in the same boat and feeling the frustration of not being able to easily branch swing to the specific information that I want because the path is no longer clear.

That doesn't happen for trivial topics or problems though! It's a sort of new frontier where we have to re-solve potentially solved problems because the solution isn't pervasive enough to be trivial.

We have to push ourselves to overcome a knowledge limit, which throws a nice fat monkey wrench into the idea of having "All human knowledge in the palm of your hand".

There's undiscovered territory out there and it's hard to see unless you get above the trees.
Engineering Explained did some estimation around this and doesn’t think weight is likely to be a serious issue. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv44W7xa4IU

Granted that’s in part because EV trucks are allowed to be 2000 lbs heavier than ICE trucks in the US.
Let's say a house is actively burning down next door. If you were to sell right at that moment, the value of that home would be decreased due to the fire risk. However, there isn't any sensible methodology for predicting the exact amount that house would decrease in value.

The point I'm making there is that for some changes, price will most definitely be affected negatively. However, it would also be impossible to quantify how much the price would decrease with any degree of accuracy.

Now, is something like "door color" going to have this clear of a negative impact? No. We should ignore those requests as largely absurd. But there are definitely activities that would have clear negative impacts on price, even if that can't be quantified in an accurate manner whatsoever.

Does this mean we should legislate changes to help maintain property values? No. But it's certainly a valid claim in some circumstances.
Bike stiffness is really interesting, especially when compared to skiing. I think its easier to understand with boot and ski stiffness which operate in similar manners, where a stiffer boot allows you to convert more of your movement down to the ski instead of being absorbed by the boot!

I recently switched my indoor trainer from my aluminum frame to and old carbon frame and found it much more comfortable, which I think is from the less stiff old carbon allowing more movement.

I wasn't aware of bottom bracket stiffness, but seems to make sense that single speeds tend to feel better for me if the bottom bracket can be simpler and stiffer?
Well the point of the paper is that regardless of what your religion teaches (and the Roman Catholic church, in particular, is not anti-evolution; but not pro-evolution either, and offers its members essentially a choice of which mechanism of creation to believe), your "sociocultural environment" influences your beliefs more than what religion you say you're a part of. So yes, in accordance with the paper, it's probably more likely that even Catholics in the U.S. will be exposed to more anti-evolution indoctrination and more of their parents and teachers will try to deny evolutionary science, even if they aren't members of a specifically anti-evolution sect.

What the paper doesn't really go into is to how religion influences that "sociocultural environment"--it's just measuring effects for individuals. It's clear to me that "teach the controversy" movements, attacks on evolutionary science like the Scopes trial, attempts to remove evolution from biology texts and the actual removal in some schools are in large part motivated by religion, and comprise a lot of that "sociocultural environment" the paper refers to. Catholics have a choice whether to believe in a literal six-day creation and the creation of all life in its current form, so in a place like the U.S., where it's simply more socially acceptable to be an anti-evolutionist, they'll do so in more frequent numbers than where it's not.
> Some factors may act as obstacles to the acceptance of evolution, such as religion, a lack of openness to experience, and not understanding the nature of science

Maybe this is just by bias but so often I see "listen to us, not them" as some kind of argument for why to believe in something, and I think the tone of this study feels similar. What about the idea that we should question stuff and not go down the "science tells us" faith based path.

What if the same underlying factors that might cause someone to believe unquestioningly in biblical creation are the same that could lead to someone believing unquestioningly in evolution. And likewise, what if being more of a skeptic causes people to reject, or at least moderate their opinion, on both.

I don't go in for "teaching the controversy" per se, but I do support a less faith based approach to education, which includes encouraging people not to blindly accept "science". My read is there has been a massive religious shift in that direction
I must have misread or something. Page 5/6 clearly seemed to demonstrate there was a problem with steel because the interface temp which drives transfer would end up much lower with steel. This is also confirmed in their conclusion... At least I thought... with the following line:

>Together with a weight loss of 30g, a good assumption is a 20% loss of water, i.e. α=0.2. Using this with the values of specific heat capacity and density for dough from the table above, one finds that Qtot = (70 + 226)J/^2, which gives for the baking time in the wood oven T(wood oven) ≈ 125 s. For the electric oven an analogous calculation resultsin an almost 50% longer time T(elect steel) ≈ 170 seconds. We see
that we have succeeded to reproduce the value disclosed to us by our pizzaiolo: 2 minutes for baking in a wood oven. The result of an attempt to bake a pizza in the electric oven will be the mentioned unbalanced product. (Burnt crust, innards uncooked)

would end taking longer because of the cooler interface temp?

I'm kinda thinking I misread or lost the track somewhere though to the point I kinda want to figure out how to do the experiment myself.

Any time diff eq's come into it, I tend to feel better after I've like done the math myself 5 times. Me and calculus love each other, but damn are we not good for one another.

Zero facts about his energy usage, and what his bill would have been if he'd stayed on gas at this year's prices.

Our £2k air source heat pump has been pretty much cost neutral in terms of bills. This was fully expected: we bought it to be more green in the knowledge that the efficiency gain is almost exactly offset by the fact electricity is pricier than gas.

It has roughly halved our the energy we consume for heating though, so it's done what we wanted. Overall, we bought it because it looked like a more cost effective way to go green than switching to an electric car, and i think that's proved to be correct (it achieves roughly comparable energy savings).
Thank you for looking and your comment. I do some reruns but not all, and public website is limited compared to what donor users see. But I'm hopping with more donations I can change this, and have more data available for everyone to enjoy.

I've seen many co-workers get laid off in my career, they all landed back on their feet.
Living in the south in America I've encountered this mindset over and over. One of the best people I ever hired, absolutely top tier intelligent and productive, completely believed in the young earth theory and that dinosaur bones were placed there by god. Not exclusive to catholics, southern baptists, etc. Just "religious people in the south".

It's depressing and my cousin's son who is being home schooled by the same sort of religious mother is just criminally under-educated for his age. We don't live in a small city, one of the larger ones in America. It's just sad to see that this is often the status quo around here.

I've known plenty of people who "accept" evolution but don't understand the concepts of emergence or how they apply to evolutionary biology. When any idea, no matter how right and true, decides that it needs to engage in ideological branding to promote itself, it invariably becomes a religion. Treating "belief in evolution" as a litmus test for being educated or knowing the truth just replaces internalizing and comprehending concepts with some tribal shibboleth. Everyone is obsessed with the what and the why, but the meat is almost always found in the how.

EDITTED FOR TYPOS
That’s basically the history of computing! There are some intrinsic advantages to using Wasm vs VMs or containers for certain scenarios, like serverless. That’s very similar to what’s going on with cloudflare workers and V8 isolates. It’s not one size fits all by any means, but it is certainly really good for many scenarios where containers are not
No we aren't, because there have been commercial compilers since around 2000, with Excelsior JET being one of the first ones, sadly out of business.

However, PTC and Aicas are still in business,

IBM's commercial one is now freely available on OpenJ9,

Finally, if you are using a modern Android phone, an AOT compiler is in the box since Android 5, and it was modified into a mixed JIT with AOT compilation on rest since Android 7.

GraalVM happens to be the evolution of MaximeVM, and certainly not the only game in town.
> force you to pretend im not balding

Huh, that's an interesting analogy and not one I'd ever really thought about before. After all, there are people with terrible combovers and toupees that most people pretend they don't notice (no offense if that's you, OP). I'm trying to imagine how much "not playing along" you'd have to do before you ended up in HR over it, and I'd think it would have to be quite a bit - certainly just pretending you didn't notice and not agreeing or disagreeing when the guy in question says his hair is completely natural wouldn't be enough.
What is teleology and what is the alternative?
the crucial value proposition of Docker was to show megacap cloud providers that containers are a thing for developers and to build them first class into their cloud platforms -> kubernetes. I went to a GCP conference shortly after Docker went big and everyone was talking about it. It was no surprise that Google mentioned the word "container" 100s of times throughout the full day conference and never mentioned the name Docker once.
Well in my programming i make similar choices, so I guess that makes sense but I always assumed people that went to school for business stuff had higher standards. I suppose code reviews and release requirements serve a similar function.
I recommend against with using secrets managers as opposed to config files for storing configuration. Ideally, your configuration is versioned and code-reviewed. Config files are optimal. Even secrets used by your deployment should be stored in configuration - encrypted, of course. The benefit of versioned configuration files, secrets included, cannot be overstated.

You can encrypt sensitive configuration fields with tools like `mozilla/sops` [1], which will reach out to your KMS or secrets manager of choice to encrypt/decrypt sensitive fields on the fly.

This way, you are minimizing the splitting of state across secrets managers and your code. Your configuration is stored at code, code reviewed, and versioned, which has devops and security benefits of its own.

How can something be both logically sound and violently at odds with reality? What you’re saying is that those who hold YEC beliefs have an inconsistent belief system, but the belief in YEC is constructed with valid arguments within that belief system. That’s like the opposite of logically sound.
heh it was probably a single byte with one bit signaling low battery and the other 7 signaling other things.
If you interpret the first amendment like this, then you shouldn't have any problems with Stripe's behaviour from the article either, right?
Gorgeous home page. What does Svija do?
I'm going by what they told me, I never attended Catholic school.
That's my understanding. Given that the turbine is used in parallel during takeoff/climb and drives the electric motor as a generator during descent (while presumably still driving the prop) there would need to be a mechanical linkage. Since the linkage is already there, you wouldn't save on weight by using a serial hybrid setup for cruise and the turbine is already sized to be running in an efficient power band for cruise flight.
I wonder if this is any better. I suspect nothing makes these tasks better.

Few eminent scientists produce great science at that point. It is no surprise that minds deteriorating with age reach absurd conclusions. The question before us is, of course, whether it is mental deterioration or accumulative wisdom.

After all, many eminent scientists also claim to not know their children in the last few moments of their life. Were they suddenly privy to some grand truth or were their minds breaking?
I don't see how it's incompatible with walking. I see the article mentions the same:

If you are walking in a modern suburb, “You’re always going out of your way,” he says. It is not only people walking who have to take less direct routes. Buses are more effective when roads are in grids, allowing passengers to get anywhere with just one change.

All that's required and normal in lots of Europe is for foot paths that cut through all of this. This means some properties won't be next to each other and instead have a public foot path in between. This also allows public transit not to have to go into the cul-de-sacs and stay on a main artery while allowing for an entire neighborhood of cul-de-sac houses to have easy access.
It's not just security vendors, it's everyone.

You can't even set up popular software like Tailscale with a github login without it requiring access to your organization's private repositories.

It's like mobile phone permissions in the old days where your calculator needs access to your contacts and location.

I thought technology companies learned this lesson a decade ago, apparently not.
I'm not a mathematician, but when I was in school I read a lot of 'pop math', and fancied myself a lot better at it than I was (or am). I was fascinated by things like the FCT, and recall writing a document ...I don't think I kidded myself proving it, but at least 'understanding' it.

The rough sketch was to show that it was not possible to construct a map that required five colours: that if you take a blob of one colour, wrap it in three others, all four are touching the others, but you can't possibly add a fifth since it either only touches the outer three, or it has to prevent two of them touching to get to the inner one (then the non-touching ones could be recoloured the same).

To this day, although I of course realise I was having no groundbreaking thoughts and it did not constitute a proof, I do not understand why the actual proofs are so complex, or require so much computation? It eluded far greater minds for over a century - what am I missing that makes it so problematic?
How are they up front? Most people don't know Apple is taking a 30% cut and therefore are often asked to pay more by the app developer.
Helsinki did one of these back in 2009 and continue to add more. It’s a good fit in Northern Europe.

> OpenCL is totally functional, on AMD and even iGPU Intel.

The fact that it’s not functional on non-NVIDIA platforms is the whole reason Blender dropped OpenCL support. If you’re going to write a bunch of implementation-specific code to handle AMD’s bugs/non-compliant runtime, why not just target CUDA directly?

“it’s open-source, if you want it fixed then pay someone to do it or just spend a month making a patch instead of doing your work???”

bugs-bunny-no.gif

like, same with ROCm, is AMD just wants to externalize all their costs onto customers yet still wants them to adopt it instead of the turnkey solution that everyone else already uses. Why would anyone do that? It’s great for NVIDIA but terrible for users.

(and as for the “AMD drivers have been good for like ten years now!!!” crowd… counterpoint: the entire 5700XT thing, drivers broken for the first 18 months, just like Vega before it. And oh look 7900XTX is turning into a trainwreck too. There’s just constant showstopping bugs with AMD drivers. Just like with ROCm too… patchwork support and endless bugs that don’t exist in the industry-standard solution. Nobody wants to spend their time doing AMD’s job for them.)

To their credit this is one thing Intel got right… they probably spent more dev time on oneAPI in the last year than AMD spent on ROCm and all their previous attempts/projects/resume-driven-development fodder combined.

I have always wondered about this sample. Consider the possible 4-colours to be red, blue, green and orange, as in the image. We need to determine the colour of the black square. All 4 colours are joined in this inverted cross like formation and the center of the cross (a gray pixel atm) kind of indicates an infinity point. If the space in which these colours are drawn is not discrete, then they can all be said to join at the center of the cross.

Is this sample just not allowed by the rules of the "game"?

Consider it an extreme case of gerry-mandering...
upvote this as an American but not for the reason that you might think; outside of college towns, you are going to be surprised at the actual education and literacy levels about anything. You can definitely find college undergrads and get them to say dumb things on camera, too (a reflection of their social surroundings)

Thank you for the comment and thoughts. Agree with most, disagree with some (easy to brute-force?), but I wanted to comment on this in particular:

> Easy to phish. Con: Attacker can use a look-a-like page, click-jacking, and pixel extraction (frame stealing) attacks to get password & secret

This to me is the most glaring "vulnerability". i.e. I use this to exchange letters with my friend Bob. Now someone impersonates me and sends a fake 'PortableSecret' to Bob that siphons out the actual password.

Clearly this is a valid vector of attack, and one I made no attempts at defending from.

The thing is... this won't happen. If I'm dealing with an attacker so sophisticated to pull this off, it's likely they have 1000 other vectors that are more effective and dangerous.

I have to keep reminding myself this is a real vector, but the fear is irrational.

As they say at DEFCON to people too concerned using their devices: "Nobody is wasting their 0day on you".

I don't think I'm a target valuable enough to attract this kind of attacker.
> And suggesting that dinosaurs weren't real would just get you laughed out.

There's a contrarian part of me that sees this as somewhat negative. It suggests that perhaps some students may actually have hidden beliefs that they're simply unwilling to expose due to the lack of space for unconventional ideas in the environment. Are students being educated or merely bullied into a particular point of view?

That's another question from this study. They say students "given instruction on the nature of science" accept evolution more readily. What is the "nature of science?" And, what does that instruction entail, exactly?
I don't think I have a smartphone problem, but how can I be sure? I do have a bunch of apps installed but mostly only use Maps, Uber/Eats/DoorDash, Spotify, banking, and some work ones. In particular I don't consume most social apps on my phone, just some aggregate news like HN, Reddit, and some Youtube.

One tell is that sometimes I'll forget my phone at home and not go back for it, going all day without it (back when I used to commute to the office). Instead I have a computer-tech addiction/hobby? where I have some uneasiness if I'm without a laptop for a day or more. I even used to take one on vacation, just in case I have an idea I want to prototype.
For the uninitiated, what is "YEC"?

Google wants to define is as "Young Entrepreneur Council" but I doubt that's what you're referring to.

Edit: Thank you kind internet strangers.
This makes wonder about solar roofs and efficiency over time. For example I don't see anything immediately obvious about how a Tesla Solar Roof might degrade over time due to dust and debris, but it stands to reason that it should. It seems like it should be easier to find this type of information on solar panels given the emphasis.
Half-truths in that it's only part of the truth. They haven't published all internal Twitter files have they? Like I said they haven't even published a previous CEOs email, despite him asking them to.
