"Are things better than they were under American hegemony? Sure. Could they be even better if we weren't stuck in this local maximum, Absolutely."

Yeah! Criticize America so it can be better but taking a stance that world would magically be better off without America, or even that the world doesn't want America while obsessively consuming American products seems rather childish in my opinion.
ha you're not alone. algora comes from the greek word αγορά (community gathering / marketplace) + the word algorithm :)
Aha, nice, i didn't think of just limiting it that way! The need to postprocess this is annoying but only very mildly; i think it takes a fairly simple window function.

I had a go at changing my query to only produce one route to each node, by excluding rows in the recursive step which go to a node for which we already have a destination, but i couldn't find a way to do it which PostgreSQL would accept, because you can't use the recursive table in an outer join or a subquery.

The PostgreSQL has some advice about dealing with cycles, but i haven't worked up the mental energy to absorb it:

Governments are greedy. They want more tax revenue and the power huge budgets convey. Efficient use of resources is only lip service, making good talking points when getting elected.

Work from home denies the governments fares and taxes for the rail system to commute to the city, property tax from the fancy offices in the commercial center, sales tax from the shops and restaurants feeding the workers at the commercial centers, sales taxes and certification fees from childcare centers, etc.
By capping prices you're capping production.
Languages evolve. Just like Italian words are used in English-speaking countries, English words or derivations of them become part of the spoken and written language in Italy. I think Government enforcing culture should be unconstitutional. The Government has to adapt to the culture. Government should work for the population and not vice versa. I find this Government idiotic.
In German speaking parts of Switzerland people speak Swiss German.
The official and written language is high German.

Although loosely related, they are two different languages.
How did they calculate productivity?
Poking around online it looks like over 90% of the country is filing only W2 income so that feels like a fair classification for "average person".

I've gone pretty deep on the real estate research front. We have short term rentals but (fortunately) they do well enough that we can't show paper losses even with depreciation. We're both well employed so real estate professional status is off the table (which is why we started with short term rentals - schedule C vs. E)

1031s and opportunity zones don't do anything to change when your W2 income is recognized or reduce your overall tax rate, the only tax benefits are around the capital gains with the property. Both require upfront investments with post tax money.

It just feels a little disingenuous to say there are "plenty of tax optimization schemes for the average person" because showing paper losses on real estate with one spouse getting real estate professional status, is the only strategy I've seen consistently mentioned.
Most likely, yes, you are. What is your salary? What is the median salary and household income.

By world standards you are certainly very rich, but probably even for Canada yes, you are rich.

Yeah, pretty much clickbait... an "almost" is missing there, and "Generating Windows 95 keys" could be replaced by "simple arithmetic", because generating a valid key needs just simple arithmetic (which ChatGPT couldn't do in this instance).

Although the bit at the end where Chatty denies it did it because it'd be against policy is interesting, it means there were some safeguards implemented to prevent Chatty from giving out pirated keys from its crawls.
It's kind of ridiculous that non-disclosure allows 'trade secret' protection of ingredients when, as you say, a lab can tell us the actual ingredients and relative quantities.

We should require disclosure for trade secret protection of chemically-based products. At least to the EPA or FDA. They can still keep the actual recipe and blending instructions secret.

In one sense, C is the unsafe code block for myriad other languages, like Python. Python users don’t want to deal with undefined behaviour either. They want to write their high level code in NumPy or PyTorch and just have everything work very fast.

Little do they know: they rely on C for those libraries and for things like ATLAS and LAPACK, which implement the underlying numerical linear algebra code. Well, it turns out that ATLAS relies pretty heavily on optimizing C compilers to generate optimal code on many different platforms. At the bottom of all this are the many loop optimizations included in compilers which, thanks to undefined behaviour in the C spec, are able to assume that code is always on the happy path.

It also turns out that Rust includes bindings to ATLAS and LAPACK. I would imagine at some point people might want to write a new linear algebra package in pure Rust. I think it’ll be quite difficult to match the performance of those two in safe Rust, but we’ll see.
Knowing the underlying principles is only a starting point. The hard work is going from that to production.

Sounds simple, costs millions.
'good' really means 'good enough', and that's situation and context dependent.

I demand a lot from my 170cc scooter, so it couldn't be replaced with an electric one, but some of my trips could be done on an electric scooter.

I don't believe it works like that when everyone has their needs met, specifically with UBI. Possible losses from breaking the law and getting caught would drive the price of white-collar crime up non-linearly. It would also be easier to unionize, which would help combat inequality.
The “making of Italians” has usually meant imposing northern Italian norms and language upon Southerners.

It’s always been touch and go.

Garbaldi and Mussolini placed a strong emphasis on “nationalism,” but other leaders were more focused on a building coalitions.

Can you give me the names of some Italian nationalist parties?

I was told by my Sicilian family the only reason Sicily is a part of Italy is Garibaldis ship was blown off course during a storm.

No idea if that’s true.

Nodes don't have to be allocated with malloc (that is actually the worst thing you could possibly do).

An open-addressing hash table only performs well up to 50-75% bucket usage. Chaining doesn't care and performs the same up to 100%.
Financially though we can be better off saving when we’re young so we can enjoy the fruits of compounding interest over a longer period. This could leave more money to invest in one’s own business once we are older with more experience and contacts to leverage, resulting in higher success rate of ventures.

While there's some element of privilege involved, I wouldn't have been able to ever work like this if I wasn't willing to take risks that many would consider too much. But the pay-off from taking those types of risks also (sometimes) ends up opening doors for more unconventional career steps.

I'm grant funded for the next year, and after that I have some savings to live off that may last another year or so (maybe less if this inflation keeps up), but after that I haven't got a singular clue where my money is coming from.

But I also don't have kids, and don't want any either. If I had or wanted, none of this would be possible. I'd definitely choose the golden handcuffs in that counterfatual.
> Is there anything comparable surviving today?

I'm not aware of such Super CISC instruction sets in popular use today, but I wonder with VM's and statistically-based AI proliferating now, whether we might revisit such architectures in the future. Could continuous VM-collected statistical data inform compiler and JIT compiler design to collapse expensive, common complex operations we can't identify patterns for with current methods into Super CISC instructions that substantially speed up patterns we didn't know previously existed, or are our current methods to analyze and implement compilers and JIT's good enough and what's mostly holding them back these days are other factors like memory and cache access speed and pipeline stalls?
Interesting, I've only started hearing about it recently, when I started following Peter Zeihan. Previously, all I heard from everyone was that China was a paragon of rational management.

Rich is relative to others around you. Generally if you are in the top 25% you are rich, middle 50% you are middle class, bottom 25% you are poor.

You can adjust those percents I suppose, but yes there is an objective standard for being rich and it depends on where you fit in the income and assets scale.
Another reason why “rich” as an absolute term rarely makes sense. Are you rich? I don’t know. Are you richer than the person cooking the food you order from time to time? Almost definitely yes. Are you richer than most people who live around you? Likely still yes.
I think this might be a problem with your browser. When going backwards, browser should skip pages that redirect user to other page in less than 5 seconds.
That would be great if it was possible, but how do you specify & implement sensible behavior for this:

void foo(int *a, int b) { a[b] = 1}

At runtime there is no information about whether that write is in bounds and no way to prevent this from corrupting arbitrary data unless you compile for something like CHERI.

If words come from another language and mean different things, let those words exist as they are. If a new native word is created from the foreign word, that is okay. That is how languages grow and evolve.

The law in question just says official documents and communications must be in Italian which makes perfect sense in Italy.

Why, despite multiple reports[1] from Silicon Valley whistleblowers revealing that technology companies are using manipulative designs to prolong our time online, do we feel personally responsible? Why do we still blame ourselves and keep seeking new self-help methods to decrease our time online? We can learn from the past because in this case the tech companies did not innovate. Instead, the technology industry manipulated us following an old playbook, put together by other powerful industries, including the tobacco and food industries.

I hate to spoil it, but it's from a spoken word piece by the late Alan Ginsberg ("Howl") and Glass - Wichita Vortex Sutra #3

"spoken lonesomeness is Prophecy." What a great line, because that's pretty much what old age is
and curious what you currently think on this topic too. Specifically about solutions. At any level. Individual or societal.
We have a long way to go. In the US I think bikes are still primarily seen as toys for either children or upper middle class adults. Car culture is deeply ingrained here, and discouraging personal automobile use is going to be seen by a large part of the population as practically anti-American. There's also the fact that we have a flood of low quality and outright dangerous electric micro-mobility devices catching on fire.

On the hopeful side, I see e-bikes as being part of the wave towards sustainability, a swing back towards childhood independence, and increased interest in fitness. We'll see how far it goes, but there's going to be resistance every step of the way.
There was a similar product for the Mac at the time called RAM Doubler by Connextix. It seemed to work better than the Mac virtual memory scheme at the time.
Sounds like this is a problem for management. You could take this to someone who will listen. Or trust that this may work itself out, one way or the other.

Maybe you should also spend a moment thinking about what you'll do if the company does run out of money... Is there a way to salvage the product in another incarnation of the company? (Or is there a competitor where you could eventually take all your hard-won expertise?)
This has been my superpower for a ling time. I do not need to fall asleep, just close my eyes for 15 or 20 minuttes. I have used the free sleep/nap app Pzizz since 2008. Having the same sleep-in routine primes my brain for a nap.
I don't think this works, any browser on iOS uses safari renderer under the hood, so extensions don't work properly. Tried it a few months ago, as I'm using Firefox on my Android phone and wanted a similar set up for my mom.
List of reasons why this is very narrow minded:

1. You still own your work if you post it other places, just not the platform.

2. You own the platform if you host it on a VPS, but not the hardware.

3. You own the hardware if you host it at home, but still, only license the software which runs it.

4. Many more.

Well, then we better get rid of our entire banking, payments, and public debt financing system.

It was a bit of a mind bender to learn that Treasury auctions cannot fail. The Primary Dealers have to make a market, the the Fed has to provide them with whatever additional reserves they require to do so.

That also puts the lie to the nonsense about what happens if China stops buying our debt. Directly of course the answer is absolutely nothing. The Primary Dealers will continue to make a market. We would however notice if China embargoed us. And that’s something a lot of people somehow miss by focusing on the financial shenanigans. At some point economic activity has to be about real production.

And that’s the best argument for UBI. Postulate that the productive side of our economy is running considerably below capacity and then increasing demand via monthly helicopter drops isn’t crazy. I have my doubts about the truth of that postulate though in the real economy.

Walking, on a fast pace, is the best stress reliever and mind clearing activity for me. I still think about stuff but usually my mind wanders through unimportant stuff like books I'm reading, movies or even hobby projects.
