How much do we know about pre-Islamic Zoroastrianism, and is it something that modern Zoroastrians care about?

I've heard that while modern Zoroastrianism is "dualist", this might have started as a concession to Islam, to prevent followers from being persecuted for idolatry.

I'm just responding to what you said, I'm assuming that's what you meant so that's what I had in mind when I wrote what I wrote, yes.
How, I'm genuinely curious. I know that's a common response to it but I find it hard to see.

Even a slight view into the history of israel should allow you to see that there is a valid and consistent basis for its opposition wholly separate from antisemitism, even if you don't endorse that opposition.

As well, non-israeli jews make up a significant portion of the leadership of these groups. Which doesn't inherently make it not antisemitic, I guess, but definitely indicates the situation is much more complex than simple antisemitism.

And also that yes, in the real world that will attract antisemites who oppose israel for that simple reason. In my experience though pro-palestine activists in the US are fairly sensitive to this dynamic and vigilant about not aligning with antisemitic groups who would be willing allies.
Come here to comment this.

Americans Are Increasingly Single and OK with It
The difficulty in tracking and the ease with which large transactions can be done in it would be a big differentiator from cash and one of the things government wouldn't like about it.

While it doesn't bother me personally, it would be an issue of any digital truly anonymous currency as far as governments are concerned.

That said, I was referring to more mundane things, like how most people aren't used to the responsibility that comes with that kind of currency (eg if you accidentally send to the wrong address, the money is essentially irreversibly lost).

Cash, being a physical item is less prone to some of these issues and because it isn't entirely fungible (with bills having serial numbers), there are various things that can be done with cash that can't with a truly anonymous digital currency, like tracking stolen currency and/or reissuing it.
Wow, this one's amazing, and so well argumented that it finally made it click in many respects for me.
Is the next move on ARM in London?
It's mentioned in the article that an average travelcard for zones 1-6 in London is ££3000 but that understates the issue. Many commuters are outside of the zones for a start, and yearly season tickets can be more like £4000-5000, and even that is only if you're able to walk to the nearest train station, which means you're paying a massive premium for housing, if you don't live close you'll be looking at another £1500 a year for parking.

Not only that, but the season tickets are regulated and cheaper than just buying a ticket every day, but there's no "3 day a week" option. So if they ask you to come in 3 days a week it's often as expensive or more expensive than buying the full time season ticket.

Oh but there's even better news, because of the pandemic and remote work the number of commuters is massively down, this would be great! Nice quiet trains, get a seat on the train into work every day! No, no, no. What we're going to do instead is change the timetable so that even fewer trains run so that commute you're paying thousands of pounds for? You'll be doing that standing up in a sweaty carriage packed in with a hundred other people if you're lucky enough to get on the train.

But it gets better! Because they're running fewer trains they need fewer staff, so they're "negotiating" with the rail unions. The result is that between december and mid-january I managed exactly 0 days in the office. That's right, there's not a single day that I needed to go into the office that the trains were running because the staff were on strike.

The truth is that there's a side of this equation that isn't really discussed as much as it should be. Yes, people started working from home during the pandemic, but actually, commuting to London has become very significantly worse since the pandemic for a lot of people, and the UK economy is going to continue to suffer as a result.
Given that we send something like 4B to Israel, but spend 800B on Medicaid alone, I don't think one has much to do with the other.

One thing that drew me to Rust was actually Elixir/Erlang calling out to it for certain specialized needs. Within Elixir/Erlang you get best of breed concurrency but exiting the BEAM to run other code is unsafe. Calling out to Rust, however, comes with great safety guarantees.

Managing concurrency outside of Rust and then calling Rust for the more focused and specialized work is a good combination IMO.

One thing I can't figure out (genuine question) is why they don't have 20% time anymore for innovation. I thought it was a key driver for new products at Google. Does such a thing cause career risk, or political strife?

Also, I'd like to understand if their AI lab, Deep Mind, also suffers the same problem, or does it have a different culture? Does Deep Mind have 20% time?

I'd appreciate it if anyone within the company could explain it please.
> Elsevier included the same explanation in 23 of the 24 retractions, saying the papers were being retracted because they “did not include a declaration of a conflict of interest of one author in relation to diagnostic tools which the paper endorses.” The statement also says that the same author was editor-in-chief of the journal at the time of publication, and that there was no evidence of independent peer review by external reviewers. One paper was not cited for a conflict of interest but instead was retracted for “lack of original methodology,” along with the same peer-review issue.

Huh. Good tip. Thanks!
Sure.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/27/world/middleeast/bds-isra... - "Critics say B.D.S. is actually counterproductive to resolving the conflict, because it rejects Israel’s right to exist in spite of settled international law; encourages Palestinians to insist on the right of return for all refugees, which Israel is unlikely to ever accept in negotiations; pressures only one side to make concessions; and discourages bridge-building efforts between Israelis and Palestinians on the grounds that they “normalize” Israel. They say its rejection of the Jewish state distracts from debate over how to end the conflict and plays into the hands of right-wing Israeli opponents of a Palestinian state."

So its anti-semitic at worst but honestly unproductive at best.

https://thehill.com/opinion/international/454958-the-truth-a...

"There are many challenges in Israel, not the least of which is the plight of the Palestinians. This is a real challenge that needs to be addressed with urgency, coupled with the very priority of Israel’s security. Our energy should be more focused on what we can do to move toward peace, what we can we do to lift up the Palestinians in a sustainable way, and not isolate Israel in an anti-Semitic way.

BDS is not about the “pursuit of civil and human rights.” It’s not about the First Amendment. It is an attempt to demonize, delegitimize and apply a double standard to Israel—all three of Sharansky’s indicators. And we, as members of the Jewish and broader communities, should be willing to partner wholly with anyone truly committed to such an end, and not merely using it as cover for implicit anti-Semitic gains."

Three groups passed this law

* The EU Commission (headed by commissioners appointed by the government of the members, 1 per member)

* The EU council (makde up of the heads of government of the members, 1 vote per member) - so sort of in line with US senate as originally enacted (where the state government chooses the senators)

* The EU parliament (voted directly by the population, broadly in line with the population, although smaller members get more MEPs per person) - so broadly in line with US congress

in the US, I believe states have to meet federal laws, they can't pass a law saying "murder is legal" or whatever. It's an imperfect system, but so is the US system.

The filesystem is a database.

Databases like Postgres implement such a transaction not through a lock, but by keeping multiple versions of the data/file until the transactions using them closed.

Yet other databases operate on the stream of changes and the current state of data is merely the application of all changes until a certain time, allowing multiple transactions to use different snapshots without blocking each other (you can parse a file while somebody else edits it and you won’t be interrupted).

I read about various filesystems offering some of these features, but not in IO APIs.
The writing has been on the wall for a while. Linode was great and reliable for a time, but their pace of development of new features has slowed significantly. That's not a problem per se but as Akamai muscles in more and more, it's clear the "good ol' Linode" was dead.

This definition of compelled speech is inherently politicizing an apolitical thing. I find it super strange to refer to using someone's gender as compelled speech. Sometimes I mistake a man for a woman, especially long-haired men from behind, and if the man corrects me and asks me to refer to him as a man, I don't throw a fit that my civil liberties are being violated. Certainly if I kept insisting on calling my male student she/her pronouns in kindergarten because he happened to have long hair and I got in trouble for it, this isn't compelling my speech any more than if I got in trouble for refusing to use "John" if a co-worker says "Hey don't call me Jonathan please, I go by John". I don't see why we should hold trans or nonbinary people to a standard we don't hold everyone else: if I call someone P and they correct me and ask me to call them Q, I don't think it's compelled speech.
The Fed doesn't want layoffs – at least not directly. I'll give you the accepted economist explanation rather than my own, but I would note there is a serious lack of independent thinking in economic circles. It's like these people are all educated in the same elite universities reading the same textbooks – as an outsider the level of group think in economics is utterly bizarre.

Now that disclaimer is out of the way...

So the Fed has three mandates (in theory), minimize unemployment, keep inflation low and stable, ensure moderate interest rates.

Inflation in an economy is always caused by supply and demand dynamics. If there's a lot of demand for something but not enough supply then prices will rise until an equilibrium is reached. Rapid changes in prices is something the Fed is mandated to tackle.

The Fed as a central bank can't really do anything to change how many goods / services businesses are supplying so all they can really do to control prices (inflation) is influence demand.

I won't get into the details of all the ways they can do this here, but to summerise they basically have a few really crap tools, with the primary one being to increase interest rates – not 100% true, but close enough. This has the impact of making it more attractive for consumers to save, rather than spend (basically).

More saving and less spending means lower demand for goods, and therefore inflation should fall back to target. The opposite is true when the Fed wants inflation to be higher. The Fed wanting more inflation was why interest rates have been so low in recent years. One of the consequences of lower demand is that businesses may need to slow hiring, or cut jobs.

Their mandate on employment and moderate interest rates largely stems from low and stable interest rates. This is because employment and interest rates are mostly a product of growth dynamics and the only way the Fed can encourage long-term growth is by ensuring prices in the economy are stable and accommodative to long-term decision making.

When people say the Fed wants unemployment what they mean is that the Fed wants people to stop spending money so they stop bidding up the price of goods and services in the economny. Historically tight labour markets (as we have now) correlate well with robust economic demand, and therefore higher inflation. This is partly because consumers have jobs and can spend, but also because in a tight labour market businesses have to compete for labour so consumers tend to get pay rises easier too.

I'm skipping over a ton here, so feel free to ask if there's anything you're unclear on. But basically the Fed wants you to lose your job so you'll stop spending money and so businesses don't have to compete as aggressively for labour. In theory, this is good for long-term growth dynamics.

I'd be curious what the output is of the f3probe tool used in the article. I assume you have a 128GB module with the missing bits used as reserve for when blocks fail.

I'm fine with that if it's sold as a 124GB drive, not 128GB. I like to buy Intel drives because they'll sell you a 480GB drive and under the hood it's a 512GB module with tons of reserve.

It's unclear whether you intend "we" in that sentence to mean Foreign Policy (the article) or the Russian government.

FP has a history of sensible analysis, and is not generally prone to self-delusion. That doesn't make them right in this instance, but it would be very much out of character for them to be telling stories to make themselves feel better.

In this case the article is mostly channeling conventional wisdom. Had Russia won a quick and easy victory, this might have been a net benefit to them, but even that's unclear. They've isolated themselves badly, and they are not as indispensable to the West as they seem to imagine. This is how Western commentators have seen it ever since they failed to get the kind of blitzkrieg victory they achieved in Georgia.

So conceivably your post could apply to the Russian government, telling itself that there is still some path to victory. But if you think it applies to the article, you're going to have to justify it a lot more than you have so far.
