Name one similar case.

> Look at Maxwell, currently in a reportedly 5 star prison for the elite like her.

She's a woman, it's not the same. Besides, Maxwell is in FCI Tallahassee which is far from a 5 star prison. It's not even a FPC.

Epstein wasn't going to have a nice life at club fed, he would've either have spent the rest of his life in the SHU or been repeatedly assaulted and eventually murdered by other inmates in gen pop.

> The CCTV just happened to malfunction at the time of his death. His cell was cleared of anything that could be used to commit suicide, and the autopsy report showed inconsistencies with his reported method of suicide.

The reality is that none of these things are true.

The CCTV did not "just happen to malfunction at the time of his death", the CCTV footage was eventually recovered and showed nobody entering the cell.

He had been taken off suicide watch and had bed sheets.

His autopsy report did not actually show inconsistencies despite a fox talking head telling you so.
Isn't continuous Fourier Transform simply the limit of Fourier series as the fundamental frequency approaches zero though? That's what I meant when I said "all of free space", it's the same idea with the emergence of "continuous" band structures in bulk materials -- although their sizes aren't strictly infinite, for all practical purposes it's long enough that the energy levels are sufficiently close-together to be considered a continuum.

And yes, I stand corrected. My analogy with overtones bandwidth vs spatial localization instead pertains to the position-momentum tradeoff, it is indeed incorrect to overgeneralize it to what the classical limit means. The classical limit, as you correctly pointed out, is more about the tradeoff between the two being practically negligible in the length/impulse scale being dealt with in the classical regime -- effectively a "rounding error", so to speak.

The breakeven milage is depressingly far. Electric cars take a lot more stuff and much more polluting manufacturing processes to be made.

I think we should all be concerned about the fact that the invasion of Iraq was justified using false intelligence, mostly from using areal photography which were grossly—and probably purposefully—misinterpreted to show weapon systems that simply weren’t there.

With greater network of more powerful imaging systems and an even greater computational power and statistical methods which can interpret this massive data in any way you want, this indeed becomes really dangerous. We have seen that states are still willing to lie grossly in order to justify terrible human tragedies (e.g. the Russian invasion into Ukraine had an equally false premise). So we should probably be increasingly wary of how governments use these systems.

In contrast when space infrastructure first became viable, one of the first thing the international community did was to sign an agreement promising not to use it to carry weapons[1]. I would like us to do something similar now as we enter this new era of space communication and unmanned semi-autonomous weapons systems.

I'd argue there are a lot of app experiences that are inherently subpar by being apps.

Plenty of services are simply "good enough" as a web page. I don't need a permanent icon on my phone from the local pizzeria for the once every 3 months I order for pickup. How can you make my experience better with an app? Invent different and weird new checkboxes for the order selection process, or just hope they can poll for tracking data that wouldn't exist inside a browser session?

Apps are also a terrible fragmentation for "transient" interactions where you're starting with a search or other activity, and incidentally brush across the content, rather than starting with a full "I'm going to use an app" mindset. Suddenly the UI changes and flow is broken. (see: any time you search for something and click a Reddit result)
> Shortest flight Long Beach - Long Beach 6 mins 12/28/22

What's going there? A test flight?
It depends more on your own use than the vehicle itself. Most old vehicles sit in garages most of the time as secondary vehicles. So extending the life of a ICE car vs. manufacturing another to do the same (light) workload is a loss. But if you're buying a vehicle to use as a rideshare or whatever for 8 hours a day, the beater is going to be much worse for emissions.

Both my parents, of old age, have cataracts. My mother can't see a thing with his right eye; my father is almost in the same condition. Without social security the operation would cost millions (COP$) that I can't afford.

Whereas with social security it would be almost for free. But they've hold my mother from the operation _since before the pandemic_ for all sorts of excuses - no turns, the pandemic itself, and now it's that they will put an internal lens in her eye but it hasn't arrived from where they get from (USA?). Literally last year went calling and going to the hospital asking if they would be operating her soon, but the answer is always the same. It's so tiring for me, imagine for them.

Women that dedicate their careers to chess still dramatically underperform men at the professional level. There is even a different rating level and title system for women: women earning the "women grandmaster" title need 200 fewer ELO points than the grandmaster title for men. No woman has ever won the World Chess Championship, and there are far fewer female GMs than male GMs.

But I don't believe him. Lukejr has done irreparable damage to Bitcoin. His role in the mass censorship and gaslighting program that locked Bitcoin into sluggish, expensive, tiny blocks (ostensibly in order to carve out a market for Lightning, in which he had significant interest) is disgraceful, condemnable, and must never be forgotten. This exploitation of opportunity and power spat in the face of every early Bitcoin adopter and evangelist as it violated the perfect system we came to know and love from the whitepaper for commercial gain, arguably starting the trend of charlatans and fraudsters in the crypto space looking for a quick buck with reckless, corrupting abandon.

He will say anything to get what he wants, and he will truly believe he is right and entitled to do so. He has a casual, naive tone to everything he says but this man is far from either.

The quote below is from a 1995 interview with Steve Jobs. Forgive the length, but the whole thing is quite poignant and there wasn’t much to be trimmed. This particular interview confirmed my own experiences with esoteric processes that people do just because that’s how it’s always been done, and the opportunities that exist because of it.

————————

You know, throughout my years in business I discovered something. I would always ask why you do things. The answers that I would invariably get are: “Oh, that’s just the way things are done around here.” Nobody knows why they do what they do. Nobody thinks very deeply about things in business. That’s what I found.

I’ll give you an example. When we were building our Apple computers in a garage, we knew exactly what they cost. When we got into a factory in the Apple II days, the accountants had this notion of a standard cost, where you kind of set a standard cost and at the end of the quarter, you would adjust it with a variance. I kept asking: why do we do this? The answer was, “That’s just the way it’s done.”

After about six months of digging into this, I realized that the reason they did this is that they didn’t have good enough controls to know how much it’s going to cost. So you guess. And then you fix your guess at the end of the quarter. And the reason you don’t know how much it costs is because your information systems aren’t good enough. But nobody said it that way.

So later on, when we designed this automated factory for the Macintosh, we were able to get rid of a lot of these antiquated concepts and know exactly what something cost.

So in business a lot of things are folklore. They are done because they were done yesterday. And the day before. What it means is, if you are willing to ask a lot of questions and think about things and work really hard, you can learn business pretty fast. It’s not the hardest thing in the world. It’s not rocket science.

It's probably better to frame them as things to be aware of and not treat them as tactics.
Never take what people on this site say at face value. If someone is unwilling to provide sources, it's usually a sign they are hiding something and you should put in some effort to independently verify their claims with reputable sources.

I'd really like a filter for local co-op and split-screen games; played a couple of games with the kids over winter break, and it was very hard to find which ones we could enjoy together (mostly older xbox360 titles, newer games don't seem to cater to this scenario).
Basically all of calculus, but especially multivariable and differential equations.

I like the action on the Privias (and the similar CDP360s, which I played recently). My only complaint about the action is that if you're playing at low/practice volumes, you tend to hear a lot of mechanical plastic sound as the keys spring back up. I'm a big fan of Roland's actions. I'd check out the FP30. I also used to practice on a Yamaha P125B and they are great.

I know this just your example but I think it demonstrates the larger issue with victim culture. Cinco de Mayo is not actually a very important holiday in Mexico. I agree that it’s not good to turn everything into a negative interaction but it’s not clear to me that having “cultural appropriation” as a top of mind issue is a very healthy thing either.
> It is not an inexpensive type of testing when done well

I find the ROI is much higher than most forms of unit testing. Fewer lines of testing code finds more bugs. And with invariant checking and a seeded random number generator, you can reproduce any failures and (usually) find the bug pretty quickly. They do take more brain cells per line of testing code though, especially at first.

This sort of testing also addresses my biggest frustration with unit testing. Unit tests have diminishing returns as you add more tests. Normally by the time I have "enough" unit tests, it becomes exhausting to refactor my code because of the giant pile of tests I need to rewrite. Fuzz tests are much easier to update.

(That said, fuzz testing can't replace unit tests entirely. Especially when you have a lot of methods in your API).
Another way to think about it is in terms of average person years

American: ~15 tonnes CO2 per year - 126 years
European: ~10 tonnes CO2 per year - 190 years
World average: ~5 tonnes CO2 per year - 379 years

This one plane emits many lifetimes of CO2 per year.

I don't think this accounts for non-CO2 impacts either (e.g. contrails). Multiply the years by about 2 as an estimate of that.

You seem to have peculiar definitions of the words "falling" and "steady", which do not mean "decreasing" and "flat" respectively.

The decade of the 2010s has a linear regression slope of -.008 years / year, well within the measurement error. I stand by my use of "steady" to describe that.
One conversational skill that's always been so tough for me is interrupting. When you're in charge of a meeting, you are also responsible for giving everyone an opportunity to respond should they have something to offer. Unfortunately, you often end up with a small fraction of people who consistently have zero sense for how much airtime they're using and just go on and on and on. I've tried so many different techniques on how to appropriately and gently interrupt--from soft-touch things like asking them specific, narrow questions to get them to feel like they're done to more direct positive-transitions like "oh wow, that's a really good way to put it; does anyone else have any thoughts on that?". It's always felt so painful and difficult but I can't seem to crack a way to do it otherwise.
It's not any more dangerous than Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram.

Facebook participates as part of the NSA spying apparatus. They conducted studies that showed they could alter the emotional state of it's users by altering the content being shown in their feed. They actively engaged in political misinformation campaigns on behalf of the GOP as shown via the Cambridge Analytica scandal. They have direct causal links to fomenting genocide.

Instagram showed from its own internal studies it induces eating disorders in young children (specifically girls) who use their platform.

YouTube profits off the exploration of children either algorithmically or through the monetization of family channels. They algorithmicly promote misinformation and conspiracy.

Snapchat by design facilitates the transmission of unconsentual sexual content. Revenge porn, both of adults and children have been actively shared on the platform in recent years, and due to it's design it makes it incredibly difficult for law enforcement to obtain definitive evidence of it's transmission.

All of these companies harvest biometric information and archive them for resale.

If the GOP was having an honest discussion about the way social media impacts users, they'd be discussing powerful privacy regulations and laws to protect users from these threats. However, they're not. Everything they disapprove of in regards to TikTok and Bytdance is something the American surveillance apparatus has been doing for decades.
A Bitcoin dev has a higher threat profile than the average person. if only because it would be assumed he had many bitcoin in self-custody. Many things we do as a 'nobody' would get us compromised if our threat profile were a littler higher.

I agree. I also think the downvote button is a bad metric since it can be interpreted as, “this comment is wrong,” when often times it just means, “I don’t like this point of view,” “I disagree,” or even “I didn’t like something you said a month ago, so I’m going to be vindictive and downvote everything you say in the future.”

Even on Hacker News, I think it would improve the experience if you had to explain why you were downvoting (or upvoting) a comment before being allowed to do so. It would let everyone else know whether your reasoning justified the action.
