I would hazard that they are accounted for. People had very many children, only some children survived, some of those reproduced again, I would also guess that the mothers who would die during pregnancy or during childbirth would encounter that at one of the earlier in life pregnancies, and no longer be contributing to the average. I could see all that together supporting the average age of 23.

I remember deliberating between AMD's eight core FX-8150 and the latest Intel Sandy Bridge in early 2012.

Even though lots of people consider Bulldozer to be an AMD misstep, I don't regret my choice: AMD's eight integer cores performed favorably compared with the four real cores plus four hyperthreads of the Intel. Considering I bought it to be used primarily for compiling, it was a good choice.

This is an interesting read, and seeing the design choices with knowledge of how things turned out later makes it even more interesting.
Well I think with enough time you could just use the key press model to try different configurations until you got one that gave intelligible results. The process could be easily automated if the resolution is enough to support accuracy in the 90th percentile
Pathfinding is crucial in the process of compiling your hardware description into a circuit on the FPGA. If you're writing for an FPGA, you wouldn't necessarily need to know it. If you want to work on the compilers, it would be quite relevant.
Yep. I think it's safe to assume that the half-dozen earlier attacks in the area were by a different group, since the group behind the earlier attacks was presumably smart enough not to carry their cellphones with them.
It's 10,000 or so generations - which is not much time for things to radically change.

Deciding how to structure your contracts is important. Time and materials is nice, but if you're making the same thing over and over, a fixed bid with accommodations for additional changes is okay. Networking is important, so keeping clients happy is important, but also telling bad clients to go pound sand is a critical skill, as they'll ruin you if you let them.

My company made most of its money by referrals from one client to another, and it was important to have someone who is good at maintaining relationships with not only current clients, but old clients, and prospective clients. If that's not you, find someone who will do it for you. They should be good at it, and ought to be second nature to them: it's not a one-time thing, it's an ongoing part of that business model. I meanm you might get lucky and have one client for years and years, but you should plan on having to constantly be hustling for new clients, since that's the most common scenario.

I did consulting for 13 years. The upside is you get to work on a lot of different stuff, and become really good at a variety of technologies, as well as the general skill of becoming good at picking up new skills. You also get to look at a stupid product or application and think to yourself, "it's your money, pal," because you don't have to pretend you're saving the world at some dumb startup, you're a mercenary who parachutes in and then escapes on a hang glider just as the startup is about to explode. On the other hand, you don't get to focus on one thing and get really good at it, or focus on one market and learn every angle of it, or focus on one product and iterate on it until it's good.

The perennial older male age is because men are fertile longer than women so statistics would tend to this pattern over a large enough population.

There's power asymmetry, people are monsters and sexual predation is rampant but there's also biological feasibility at play here.

To demonstrate, let's say that we have an imaginary equalityville where for every age pairing and sex act, there is an exactly equal one with the ages swapped - as in mathematically perfect equality.

In equalityville occasionally 45 year old men sleep with 35 year old woman. But every time, a 45 year old woman sleeps with a 35 year old man, coincidentally, at the exact same time, doing equal things, in another part of town.

However, 45 year old woman give birth rarely. Let's say it's 1/99th the rate of the 35 year olds.

So there's

1000 45 year old women with 35 year old men resulting in 10 births

1000 45 year old men with 35 year old women resulting in 990 births

Now we're going to calculate the average age based on the babies.

Women (990 * 35 + 10 * 45)/1000 = 35.1

Men (990 * 45 + 10 * 35)/1000 = 44.9

And thus we get our paradox because we're counting by live births. So long as there are age delta pairings past some set of constraints, the male average will drift upward.

It'd be interesting to normalize for that. This is probably doable since actual fertility statistics are well studied.

You are an evil programmer. If you printed on line 50

You would not know if you were printing your own program, and what 'MYSUB' actually was: A literal string or a memory value or a memory reference.
It is for this very reason that 1) Clarity needs to be foremost in designing and implementing programs, and 2) Structured programming was invented and 3) Most Microsoft products fall short in both categories, and also Atair "Computers."

I just gave it a try in gdb on a C program with an empty main(). The argv/envp data was in this range:

7ffffffdd000-7ffffffff000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]

Running `call (int) munmap(0x7ffffffdd000, 0x22000)` in gdb did indeed unmap the stack... and the program segfaulted immediately afterwards. But while the process was still in the stopped state and before it finished crashing/exiting, /proc/<pid>/cmdline was a 0-byte file.

> It's a bad battery.

I think there are use cases where it's a very good battery if small enough devices are created. Specifically, an empty cell on its own is going to be much cheaper than a lithium battery. I could swap and store many cells in my garage, but I can't do that with a typical mounted battery. This means the capacity of cells would be limited by physical storage space. And if my solar system produces a lot more electricity that I could use on a normal day, it could make sense for a rainy day.

Just took a look around Sibley on Street View and, distance from major cities aside, it definitely has a pretty urban form in some places. The commercial strip on 9th street would look right at home in the inner-ring suburbs near me, and I even spotted a concrete-protected paved bike path on 2nd (honestly impressed, we don't have any of those here).

Certainly it's no city, but it's closer to one than a lot of rural places I've seen.

I wonder if it’s the other way in this case? It seems to me that Japan’s advocacy of hydrogen is geopolitical, and the corporations like Toyota are getting dragged along to make poor business decisions, favoring hydrogen over electric.

Japan has no significant sources of fossil fuels or lithium (for a potentially lithium-based future), so they would prefer that the energy of the future were hydrogen, which they could produce themselves. Of course they would prefer to live in a future where they could make their own energy, rather than be at the mercy of imports. Corporations are getting dragged along to support this dream, even if it does not look like a great business decision.

There's also no reason not to think people at the time understood how sex and pregnancy worked. They didn't have the internet but they were as intelligent as we are today. I'm sure they could figure out how to have "fun" without always having kids.
> Davos is private gathering with politicians..media..celebrities ... jason calacanis said on all in podcast how they offer him a seat at table for $25k or $40k some number like that in early 2000s.

They're modern day "philosopher kings." This is the world that we live in. In the capitalist meritocracy in which we all live, money is an important point keeping system. So it makes sense that you have to buy a seat at the table and it costs a lot. I imagine that money alone is not enough merit to get a seat though, as there are many other measures of merit or social rank.

I'm not sure how this can be effectively questioned. Ban private gatherings and private property? It's been tried before, didn't go well.

Oh yeah, I have a family member who watches these old TV series, and the increased fidelity of TV broadcasts today makes so many fake props blatantly obvious. For example, at about 24 seconds into the intro to "Green Acres", you can see quite clearly that the background is a painted backdrop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrbPAt1_vc4 ... If you watch an actual episode of the series they use these painted backdrops with quite some frequency.
In 2018 I was subscribed to like 20+ podcasts. Most of these were either tech news or "popular" podcasts. Lots of once or twice a week in that group and it really felt like a chore to keep up with them. I also felt that there was dwindling actual information or entertainment that I was getting out of them so by 2019 I had already unsubscribed from about 1/3rd of them. The pandemic hit and I no longer had a 30-45 minute commute so I stopped listening to most of my podcasts. I unsubscribed to the rest and only listen to 2 regularly (while running) and have a few others that I listen to if the topic/guest is intriguing. All of this is to say that most podcasts seem to exist in an effort to make podcasts rather than having anything worthwhile or entertaining to say. Also, none of the podcasts I am still subscribed to are tech related.
I've been using Jets for a small project, and it's mostly been great. Coming from a Rails background, it was a very quick way to get a bunch of stuff running without any ongoing costs or babysitting. The documentation is pretty good, though there has been a few times where I've gotten a little stuck and have had to dig through the source to figure it out. Overall, I'm grateful for its existence.

Ultimately though I don't think I'd use it beyond a proof of concept or without some sort of clear idea for how it will sustain itself.

> Turning electricity into hydrogen and then into motive power for a car is dramatically less efficient than using a battery

This is true —- but the total quantity of battery storage potential is utterly dwarfed by the storage potential for gas, in subsurface storage reservoirs and salt caverns. You can store days worth of energy in batteries; you can store a winter’s worth of energy in gas.

It’s not a matter of efficiency, it’s a matter of quantity. We do not, and will not, for decades, have the kind of battery storage required to support the grid.
I think this service isn't aiming at individuals but at companies who want to know, sooner rather than later, if they've been breached (by storing Canary CC numbers either in with their actual CC numbers or on an internal honeypot).
I believe that such dogmatic "thinking" (if one can call it that) exists and propagates only because people are being discouraged from thinking critically. They are instead encouraged to find "best practices" and "solutions" from others (often giving them $$$), which they can blindly follow, instead of evaluating their unique circumstances and thinking independently about their own needs. The constant use of "security" as an excuse or thought-terminating cliche, because it and similar FUD seems to have such a strong persuasive effect to those uninitiated unthinkers, doesn't help either.
900m is a huge elevation difference. The highest pumped power dam currently in Japan (by hydraulic height, after looking at almost all the Japanese hydro pages on English Wikipedia) is about 780 m; the median is just under 400 m. Presumably most of the other hydroelectric dams have already been investigated for pumped power, but lack a sufficiently large lower reservoir.

Exactly. Every release some PM or senior engineers wants to add some features, for no doubt good reasons, and it all gets shoehorned into the UI. Thus the rule I generally espouse, of

turns into

For readers of the Hebrew Bible who want to dig deeper, the Jewish Publication Society Commentary series [1] is quite remarkable. Here's the description in the listing for the first volume, for Genesis. [2]

"The JPS Torah Commentary series guides readers through the words and ideas of the Torah. Each volume is the work of a scholar who stands at the pinnacle of his field.

Every page contains the complete traditional Hebrew text, with cantillation notes, the JPS translation of the Holy Scriptures, aliyot breaks, Masoretic notes, and commentary by a distinguished Hebrew Bible scholar, integrating classical and modern sources.

Each volume also contains supplementary essays that elaborate upon key words and themes, a glossary of commentators and sources, extensive bibliographic notes, and maps."

pay: often negotiated better upon hire but are otherwise similar to others at your level, sometimes more experienced employees

role: we’re eliminating all testers, we’re reducing the ratio of designers to engineers

location: we are closing this office to save on real estate and compliance costs

tenure: first hired, first fired

The developing world, where Toyota sells a lot of cars, isnt going to EVs anytime in the foreseeable future. It's only the G7 countries that are really pushing it.

Both EVs and hydrogen fuel cells really need modern nuclear power to make sense. Hydrogen is less efficient, but storage is much cheaper and easier than it is with batteries. They're complementary technologies, not competitors.

People need to get over the idea that aggressive decarbonization will ever spread past the 500 million citizens of the G7 states. That's delusional. We should really be more aggressively planning mitigation than Hail Mary green transitions with multiple substantial challenges.

You don't know that it won't be two days. It's an estimate, it's possible that a junior will go quick or senior will go slow.

It's just a discourse marker that has become a common verbal quirk. Sometimes it indicates a qualification or correction, sometimes it signals a speaker's uncertainty or lack of confidence, but other times it's just a meaningless filler phrase. Like "like" or "well".

I mean, people use all sorts of verbal tics and filler phrases without realizing it. Chances are you probably have a few of your own that you don't realize. I agree that it can be annoying and hard to stop noticing once you notice it, but it's ultimately unproductive to get too hung up on it.
