You have a point about the amount of money spent on admin at Universities, but I think you (and most commenters here) don't really realize how bad the data situation is at a lot of major universities. If we want to streamline admin overhead at public universities, there's an incredible amount of time and money wasted due to extremely inefficient use/access to data.

I work as a BI dev at a large Big 10 school (50k students/35k faculty and staff). For all those students and staff, there are a grand total of 3 data engineers, who are responsible for all our central data warehouses, including DBAing our oracle and redshift DBs. Just to get a new (untransformed) table added to the data warehouse from a source takes 6+ months, and that's only if it's from a source with an existing integration.

On top of that, there are at least 50 people I know of whose job is basically to produce one or two reports manually in excel every week, and this isn't even considering people in finance or accounting. I'm talking about simple things like how many active research grants do we have, or how many students have enrolled in certain courses. These are reports (and entire fte positions) that could easily be automated with a single SQL query. Speaking of SQL, outside of the data engineering team, there are only 4 or 5 people who know any SQL out of the 100 I know of in reporting/BI positions. The "advanced" data teams are using MS access as an ETL tool to pull together data for tableau reports.

However, there are a lot of institutional issues that make fixing those problems difficult. For one, while we have a central IT dept, we also have about 10 individual college-level IT teams, which means that data isn't just in different databases, but on a whole separate network. For example, if I want to create a report on student faculty ratio, I need to connect to VPN 1 to export faculty data from redshift, then switch to VPN 2 to export student data from Oracle, then switch to VPN 3 so that I can upload both datasets to our depts SQL server. After all that I can finally write a SQL query to get a student faculty ratio. Oh and when we need to update that ratio in a month, I'll have to go thru the whole manual extract/load process again. Forget automating that, since the network teams have no incentive to allow any tunnelling or bridging from one network to another.

I could rant about this all day, but I think it's fair to say that there are still a ton of low-hanging fruit inefficiency-wise at universities. If we could get universities to value their data more highly, maybe that wod have the additional effect of solving some of these problems and even be a net money saver.
Perhaps, but it seems like rather wasteful folly, to not have protected good things taken for granted earlier on. The grasshopper and the ants.
The problem of cerutti's dating is that the archaeological record of hominids in the high Arctic begins <50kya, 80k after the hypothetical dating. There's some middle paleolithic stuff in southern/central Siberia, but also few options to get to the new world without boats or beringia (which was submerged during previous interglacials).
Congratulations Croatia! Sad that means once less country I can get a passport stamp from, but glad it means less hassle.
Ahah I'll give that a try
It's all built-in. No extra dependencies or even imports necessary. Relative and absolute file paths work as expected. You can save and read any files freely

You can import synchronously, asynchronously, as a stream, as a string, etc. All the functionality you'd expect is built-in with the Deno module (e.g. `Deno.readTextFile('./my/path.json')`) or even with module imports
Honestly, down with data science. Down with university administration.

Stop running dragnet data collection on unwilling participants and stop using it to try to “optimize” your interactions with them.

This data shouldn’t exist, it’s value shouldn’t be exploited.

I think the fair comparison is: if you’re living someplace with any given level of economic opportunity (and the other things you mention) would you be happier if it was on the water than if it was not.

It seems for you the answer is no, but that’s not necessarily the typical response.

> all the Iraq war protests during bush

Now read up on what that meant politically: was the Congress more or less supportive of his initiatives? Did those supporters find popular support or opposition? Were millions of dollars spent astroturfing them into a movement like the Tea Party or did Democrats largely dismiss them as a fringe?
> which means a business should always have the best interests of customers at heart and always assume good faith

I thought it meant, at least originally, that a customer's choice to shop, or not, at your store needs to be treated as your failure to attract the customer, not the customer's failure for making the "wrong" choice.

Agreed. Although the economic reality is that it’s borderline impossible for a company to develop a cross-platform native product unless they have significant amounts of money. Cross-platform is a terrible necessity to that end.
holy heck, yes!
The US etc has passed through a few cycles of media control/moderation vs media anarchy; first with print, then radio, then TV - now youtube which is now trying to be restrictive atm but has a sordid rabbit-hole past.

If you grew up when I did, with one middle-of-the-road newspaper in a medium-size city delivered each day and read through; plus highly regulated/filtered TV news (and other content) then right now seems like an age of bullshit. Go back to the age of radio madness (Father Coughlin and many, many more like him) and the yellow press and you realize this isn't peak manure (although yes there's more of everything, meaning more good and bad information.)

But the well-moderated times have a price too: lots of stories that didn't fit the official narrative went unreported including the nature of native residential schools, nuclear mishaps, and much more.
So this list is ranked best to worst?

That's always been true, both with computers, tablets, and phones. Old versions of the OS don't support newer hardware. Often, hardware used to ship with a specially patched version of the OS and would be supported by the mainline OS in the next dot release.

> Unions are the reason we have a 40-hour workweek

I'm open to a discussion on this, but I'd make an argument that the biggest direct factor that caused improvements like 40 weekly hours of work being possible isn't unionization, but the overall process of industrialization.

Many people always seem to forget that employers also have to compete for labor. Once a society becomes wealthy enough through industrialization, the setting for better working conditions emerges and becomes possible; whether it's union agitation or simply market competition for workers that pushes them there. The root condition that has to be in place is industrialization.

To illustrate this, I'd offer a thought experiment. Imagine a dirt poor country with no machinery that multiplies their labor. People there currently need to work at least 80 hours a week just to feed their families low-quality gruel and give them rags to wear. How does this hypothetical country ever get to 40 hours of work a week without starving? It doesn't matter how well-intentioned and powerful their unions are, their only path to living at 40 hours per week is going through the shitty process of industrializing and becoming efficient enough first.

> minimum wage

I would strongly argue that an enforced minimum wage isn't the act of love it sounds like, but an act of supreme hatred. It completely locks the most disadvantaged out of the labor market. I know some borderline mentally/physically limited people who hate feeling useless and would love to have some kind of routine and feel like they can contribute to society in a small way and benefit themselves a bit with some kind of job, but due to their working speed and special challenges, there's no way they can be employable at a normal minimum wage for any task. The minimum wage doesn't help them: it just makes the least advantaged among us as depressed wards of the state who rot away their lives because they're completely locked out of a normal life in the world.

45nm is massive for a high-performance processor. Rad-hardening compute is frankly overrated. Have multiple and compare state at a high-rate.
I think you make it too easy for yourself to drop responsibility. "Both parties are corrupt, everything is corrupt, the system is corrupt" is just a cope out.

There are efforts to introduce alternative voting systems that make 3rd party systems viable. There are efforts to get ~~corruption~~ lobbying out of the system, ...

If you really think that the system is "totally corrupt"; do something to fix it.

These days, I believe it is very hard to steal fractions of pennies from transactions. Where I work, in some cases we calculate out to 3 decimals for USD due to customers "renting" services based upon various usages.
I think we’re all just completely forgetting that rent price is a function of where you live. Just throwing out numbers like this isn’t helpful.
> Much better than Windows file explorer

I spend most of my time on my Air running Ventura, and love it, but the Windows file explorer on my Windows 11 machine is way better. Though obviously opinions vary.

That's an extreme extrapolation. Sure, the majority would maybe not care at all for such a minority treatment if it came to pass. But then again, the practical reality is that in a system that allows minority to override the majority, everything else goes wrong even if that one goes right.

There is an example. The US was explicitly crafted as a format that would allow the minority to override the majority to prevent 'the tyranny of the majority'. This was explicitly expressed by various founding fathers of the US, especially by de facto architect of its constutition, John Adams. And that's the reason why there is FPTP, the Senate, the supreme court, with the latter two easily able to override whatever majority vote is.

They did this because they feared the majority demanding land redistribution and passing it with their vote. The British aristocrats' lands were confiscated and redistributed after the revolution, that was ok. But the founding fathers feared that it would give ideas to the people about the lands of the now-American-but-ex-British elite like themselves.
Or at least lose their ability to fast-track takedown requests.
One Ventura bug that has been annoying me: in Image Capture, all my GoPro footage has a timestamp of 0 (Jan 1st 1970).
I wrote various device drivers for RT-11 back in the day, including for one of the first winchesters (Rodime 5Mb, which was a big step-up from 8" floppies - so much so I partitioned the driver into 8 separate areas). The boot ROM was 256 words, and in there was boot code for the winchester, 8" and 5 1/4" floppies and a CLI to select between them (including the unit number).

One of the tricks I recall used the need to load locations 100 and 102 with the vector and processor status word for the BEV (bus event/timer) interupt. At the end, I needed 3 words to load the read sector command for the 8" floppy but only had 2 left. Noticing that the read sector command was 204, I got that by shifting the leftover address for the BEV vector processor status word up one bit (102 => 204) and finished the job with a word to spare.
The intelligence, beauty, and complexity of humpback whales never fails to astound me. Even invertebrates such as octopus are highly intelligent and resourceful. There's so much to be understood and discovered in the oceans!

In a semi-related note, I was too young to realize the environmental agenda in Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home when I first saw it. But since then, I've been absolutely mesmerized by humpback whales. I hope someday to be able to dive and swim near them.

Edit: From Wikipedia [1]:

"Nimoy said Meyer gave the script "the kind of humor and social comment, gadfly attitude I very much wanted". He added that his vision was for "no dying, no fighting, no shooting, no photon torpedoes, no phaser blasts, no stereotypical bad guy. I wanted people to really have a great time watching this film [and] if somewhere in the mix we lobbed a couple of big ideas at them, well, then that would be even better.""

I'm sure they're busy training an AI to do support for them. Which, trained on the past issues, will just drop all feedback, randomly ignore bugs and issues for years, silently fixing some and not others according to no discernable criteria, and generally not communicating anything.
In theory the vast majority of your long road trip is going to be on wide open areas with low enough traffic volumes that there is no point of contention.

Add in heavy traffic and the number of negative interactions will go up. Then remember you tend to roll with the traffic in these situations that lower the total number of people you're subjected to.

Prop 13 also has the great benefit of keeping anyone new out of the neighborhood, as they’ll be paying potentially an order of magnitude higher tax on the same property. Meanwhile, folks living on the edge of poverty already can stay in their 7-figure homes, unable to afford anything locally as everything else has moved on price-wise, so we get underfunded schools surrounded by de-facto millionaires. Businesses benefit even more, just look up what Disney’s Prop13 benefits are like. This is a great idea too, as it ensures that land owners who have owned in a place for decades are untouchable in terms of investment performance due to the massive tax benefit, so they can charge market-rate rent while paying a small fraction of the tax that anyone else trying to do the same today would. /s
I'm a long time user of AM4A. Yes, unfortunately the developer has ceased further updates, but it still works great. It is rock solid / bug free as the developer was meticulous at ensuring his releases were extremely well tested. I have also been a tasker user since the early release, but find its UI painful to use and some features are buggy/unreliable.

I think the AM4A developer just decided to give up fighting with Google's constant locking down features and functionality.

To extend its life and usefulness I've began integrating B4A (b4x.com) with AM4A. I can call one from the other and xfer data between them using intents.
Most-favored nation clauses prohibit that. Amazon either sells your book for the best price or not at all.

I remember in the mid-00s, Mac laptops suddenly became popular - one of the reasons was you could take them around and plug them in to TVs/projectors and they just worked, but Windows was really hit-and-miss. Now it seems like that's flipped, and MacBooks have random external display issues these days... Sad.

Perjury is fairly a steep evidential climb because it inquires as to what the accused believed, and it wouldn't apply here anyway because the DMCA specifically applies perjury to the question of authorisation to act for the owner. It does not apply to the other information.

If I claim to be Disney and issue a DMCA takedown of somebody's video, that's perjury, because Disney did not authorize me to do that.

If Disney's lawyers claim your video about how much you enjoy yoga is infringing on their animated feature film "Snow White" that's not perjury even though the claim is wrong and the worst that'll happen is if it went to court it gets dismissed and maybe a Disney lawyer gets slapped on the wrist for wasting a judge's time with this nonsense.
Yes, let’s talk about the doctors, then. Thanks to the AMA (the de facto US doctors union), there is a deliberate and structural shortage of doctors in order to deliberately prop up the pay for US doctors. It’s also virtually impossible for any practicing physician outside the US—even in other developed countries—to immigrate to the US and continue practicing medicine. This has obvious negative consequences for the availability, affordability, and cost of health care in the United States.

I’ve not experienced that. Many items I’ve ordered in Massachusetts have arrived the next day or even same day. Smaller items have taken the usual 2 days and even import stuff has been within a week.
That's not relevant. You are talking about coalition governments, in which the ensuing coalition government still represents the will of the majority. Each ~20% segment of the population represented by the 20% participant in the coalition government pushing forth ~20% supported issues and passing them does not mean that those are the will if the minority. It means that only 20% want to pass it now, but the rest do NOT object to its passing. That's still a majority government.

For a democratic majority-minority situation to occur, you must have 20% of the population wanting to pass something, but at least 20% of the population opposing it.

Personality traits like this are on a Bell curve, so he's just talking about the "left hand corner" of that curve. The percentage just depends on your threshold for tolerance.

I know people who are convinced that 50% of people are horrible people, their tolerance stops at "anything left of the median".

My tolerance is the opposite, and I can work with even quite problematic people successfully, so I would estimate that just 1% of people make that unnecessarily difficult.
Just because we’re on the topic of performance: the rust optimizer can sometimes generate better code if you use map / filter / etc. The slice iterator in any context is a huge win over manual array iteration because it only needs to do bounds checking once.

Javascript (v8, last I checked) is the opposite. Simple for loops almost always outperform anything else.
