GP did not mention the mounting option, so I assume they were going for a roof installation. Which has to be a significant markup vs ground mount. I am only partially handy, but even I could throw some poles in the ground and a frame to hold solar panels. Doing the same for a roof would be significantly beyond my abilities.

That's certainly the solution that first-order thinking would suggest.

Command economies have never worked in history, though lots of folks have tried [1].

It's good to learn from past mistakes.

It's also sort of a fun thought experiment. When you grant this power to the government, the sorts of things they can do. There's lot of obvious things like "make eggs cheaper!!", but the more fun thought experiment is with something esoteric like the sex industry.

Let's conceive of the correct pricing for a lap dance.

That's a bit complex, it's certainly not fair to charge the same amount for everyone - an attractive, skilled dancer would be forced to charge the same as someone who is unattractive and disinterested. We're going to need a rate table.

Hygiene, attractiveness, skill, friendliness. What else? Age? The body politic has decided that you're not allowed to factor age into a lap dance or to discriminate on what dancer you chose based on age. So we can exclude that from our rate table.

Going to need to create a bureaucracy to develop fair standards for all of those things.

Also, as a footnote, let's create another agency to advertise exotic dancing to the elderly as an excellent career opportunity.

Of course, we'd need to add more regulation that would require the dancers to register their weight and attractiveness with a government agency, and we'd need inspectors to verify that. We'd also probably need to watchers to watch the watchers because the inspectors may be tempted by some "extra services" to inflate their scoring, allowing a dancer to charge more. Probably also going to need to add some undercover officers to make sure that unenlightened customers aren't expressing an opinion on what age of dancer they receive.

Of course, all lap dances aren't created equal - so rates may vary based on how many people are involved, whether the patron is allowed to touch the dancer, and if so the minimum necessary security involved. We'll probably need some secret shoppers to go out and verify that the rates are being charged properly and in-line with dictates.

This would all be pretty costly though, so we'll have to increase taxes on the dancers to pay for it all. But we can't allow them to raise their rates, that would defeat the purpose.

Now we'll need a way to confront the unpatriotic, unwilling masses who have for completely selfish reasons decided that a non-lucrative career in exotic dancing doesn't seem very fun.

Regulation is the answer! Like the Soviet Union, let's decide what profession folks would go into at a young age. Perfect!

Hmm, quality is suffering. Strangely, forcing folks into a profession to meet the needs of our dictated economic constraints resulted in a sub-par experience. There aren't any customers anymore. Fine, mark the whole thing as a loss and outlaw it, certainly can't have an underground economy operating on market forces undermining what our enlightened leaders have decided for us.

(Psst. there's a reason why command economies fail, and freedom matters. Even China understands this.)

This is exactly why I hate term “A-player”. There’s so much of the team and work culture that impacts someone’s capabilities.
> Could you point me to these plenty cheap areas? I work remotely and may consider moving there.

They are all over. Head over to zillow/redfin (or the corresponding real estate site for your region) to see them. They won't be in the hip city center everyone wants, but choices are plentiful if one is willing to sacrifice a few wishlist items.

"Cheap" is of course relative the the region/country so actual numbers will vary. I'm in California so I can give a California-centric answer.

Browsing zillow I see over 30 condo (and a few house) units for less than 200K in the Sacramento areas (not exactly the boonies, it's the state capital).

In the Fresno area I see around 60 units (many houses) under 200K. Some friends moved to Fresno and they have a very nice place, for pennies on the dollar compared to San Francisco.

For those who don't want a big city, head north of Sacramento towards Oregon and tons of choices to work remote and buy a place cheap.

Mind you, I set the search limit to <200K, but that's extremely cheap by California standards. Even 25 years ago 200K was a cheap house in California. If you increase the search criteria to a more reasonable 300-400K there are way more choices and areas.
>This could, in turn, hinder the development of more effective policies and programs aimed at reducing poverty.

I don't buy this. If you want to figure out what the most effective policies/programs are, you'd need to run analysis on each program separately. If you did that, you would be able to separate out which parts had the greatest ROI. Dropping the most expensive component on the basis that it's ineffective is basically cherrypicking, especially when the claim that's being analyzed is whether government anti-poverty programs as a whole are effective or not.
The way "starship" was used so far is that it is a spaceship which flies to the stars, that is, to other star systems, not just inside the solar system. They probably should have called it "Spaceship".
The hard part of course is that genuinely new notation (i.e. not just a more convenient way to write the same thing as before) requires genuinely new mathematics to go along with it.

People had been doing derivatives (at least sort of) before Newton and Leibniz, Cardano (sort of) used complex numbers before Euler, algebra before Galois, categories before Mac Lane.

But these people "connected the dots", as it were. It's not merely a trick -- it's a fundamental contribution.

Yes, and if you actually read the bill (I'm not Italian, just trying to translate it online), it just bans other languages in official documentation, which every country does. I'm surprised Italy has not done it until now.
Suggestion (not for you specifically, just a general comment): never answer leetcode questions right away. Push back and ask the interviewer to describe the problem they're actually trying to solve. Probe their constraints - memory limitations, throughput. 99% of software isn't going to be the leetcode algorithm but the reasons for it being there. (Caveat: I haven't had to be in an leetcode driven interview for some years, and this probably doesn't work great with people that love algorithms more than getting something done.)

You can create a perfect non-sticky surface on cast iron pans like this:

- clean well with strong soap and a metal sponge until it's one smooth silver surface

- put a few drops of flax oil on a paper and rub the pan with it (also inner sides)

- take off all excessive oil with a dry kitchen paper

- remove any non-metal handles from the pan

- open your windows

- heat your oven to the max and put the pan in for about 20 minutes

- repeat about 5 times

After using the pan, wipe with a kitchen paper. Maybe a little bit of warm water, better not. Never any soap.

Like many of the things that were said ironically in the past, this one has aged badly. Yes, Italians could be very passionate about the results of football matches.

However, Churchill did not have to see how the English interpreted soccer matches in the 1970s and 1980s. Hooligans, for those too young, interpreted football games as wars. But not in the sense of passion for the sport, as they were killing fans of other teams in ways similar to wars.

Fortunately, things change over time.

It is also interesting how some ethnic groups or nations can be the object of ridicule without anyone protesting (all of Southern Europe, for example), while for other ethnic groups or nations there would be protests all over the world at the slightest hint of an attempt to ridicule them.
> Construction is the one step that cannot be easily cheated

This is a great quote, btw.
If you don't want a non-stick pan?

Just use a stainless steel pan and a pat of butter.

There's no option to not use fat/oil if you don't want non-stick.

Cast-iron is not a great choice for eggs because it holds too much heat, so if your temperature goes too high up you can't bring it back down quick enough and your eggs will crisp/burn. And both cast-iron and carbon steel are a pain to maintain (keep seasoned and avoid rust). (Cast iron is ideal for other uses though, particularly searing meat, where holding heat is the main feature.)

Also, the idea that a cast-iron (or carbon steel) patina is somehow non-stick is a myth that keeps getting repeated. It's better than the raw metal (and therefore quite necessary for those materials) but it's nothing like an actual non-stick pan. Nowhere even close. And you still always need a normal amount of oil for cooking in them, in fact just for maintaining the patina.
You are not the authority on what counts as an "artform of its own".

I agree with your last statement though.

What you’ve described is specific to humanity, not the US — “the thing is worth as much as people are willing to pay for it” is a near universal truth.
Thanks! Sure, I already asked my lawyers, but in their eyes, it's too risky. I still wanted opinions from people closer to the open-source community.

One would also not get your interpretation from, say, Wikipedia. Conveniently enough, they have an entire page on Crimea in the post-Soviet era. [1] Quoting that page:

* "With the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Ukrainian independence the majority ethnic Russian Crimean peninsula was reorganized as the Republic of Crimea, after a 1991 referendum with the Crimean authorities pushing for more independence from Ukraine and closer links with Russia. In 1995 the Republic was forcibly abolished by Ukraine with the Autonomous Republic of Crimea established firmly under Ukrainian authority. ..."

---

There's an unfortunately (or fortunately for history buffs) large amount of history there. Here are some of the key events. One big one is a Crimean referendum in January 1991, that Wiki is indirectly referencing above. The other one is from December 1991, that the poster above is referencing:

* [2] January 1991: The USSR was still alive, but collapsing. Crimea, under Ukraine, under the USSR voted on reestablishing the Crimean Autonomous Soviet socialist Republic and participating in the New Union Treaty. The New Union Treaty was a failed USSR effort to reconstitute the USSR. In other words Crimea was voting to rejoin the USSR. It passed with 82% turnout and 94% approval.

* [3] March 1991: The first USSR referendum on the New Union Treaty was run. In Ukraine the wording was changed to also include joining the New Union Treaty being contingent upon a Ukrainian declaration of independence. This was more a cynical polling (in Ukraine) since independence and being part of the New Union would have been largely mutually exclusive. But it's important because it sets the stage for...

* [4] December 1st, 1991: The USSR still technically exists, but is in its death throes. Ukraine runs their independence referendum. All of Ukraine, including Crimea, votes yes. But not in the same way. Crimean voters were in a weird position. Thanks to the March referendum, Ukraine has left Crimea in a "heads I win, tails you lose" type scenario. You're supposed to vote yes to rejoin the USSR, but that's increasingly obviously not happening. Voting no makes it legally impossible to rejoin the USSR. 41% of Crimeans do not vote, 37% vote yes, 22% vote no. So "yes" wins. This was most certainly not a vote about joining Ukraine instead of Russia.

* December 8th, 1991: Russian, Belarussian, and Ukrainian leaders secretly meet in Western Belarus. They sign the Belavezha accords, declaring an official death of the Soviet Union.

And that's far from the end, but it's far enough for this little segment of history.

>>>> Especially “Punchy” and “Warm.” Every time I hear those words, I want to throttle somebody.

I've seen this first-hand. I'm a bassist. When you ask any bassist about their sound, they all say that they want it to be "punchy." Every bass, amplifier, and speaker is described as "punchy." If not, it doesn't even make it to the market.

Protip: To overcome any problem with your sound, turn the volume up a bit. This is also a known trick in the studio, and the equipment showroom: Make a few arbitrary adjustments, then play it back again, but with the volume turned up.
We cannot evaluate the impact of a super-intelligence. It operates beyond our constraints.

There is no stopping the road towards it now. Lesser versions of it are capable of annihilating enemy civilizations when you create and utilize it first. Metal soldiers automatically created controlled by a single authority. Social media infecting the minds of enemies and sewing discord.

I think, for the benefit of all of Earth, AI should progress as rapidly as possible to extreme and recursive, singularity-level intelligence. That gives all of us at least a chance of survival.

Anything less if unbalanced around the world will be like when just the US had nuclear weapons. It will result in certain destruction.

We need a super-intelligence beyond the control of an small set of humans. This may result in our destruction. But I think that it almost certainly will not. The opposite. I think it will set us into a golden age.

I can’t give you scientific evidence of this. I’m just a nobody that spends a lot of time in nature, and I’ve just come to believe in the mechanism of this universe, and an inherent goodness in it that I’ve seen and experienced. I can’t prove it to you. You have to go and spend time in nature without a schedule to experience it. So it is fair to dismiss me.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the forces at play will generate the super-intelligence anyway. We as a species have already illustrated an inability for restraint or taking the painful actions necessary to analyze and intelligently make changes necessary for survival.

I’m at peace with this. I find the idea of not existing very alluring and peaceful, so I don’t fear death. I do fear continuing to live in the world we humans have created. It is about time we give something smarter than us a chance.
Progress/change can be slow (if not effectively impossible) in organizations with decades of established bureaucracy and politics.
A fair cautionary statement. But the substack post (and presumably its analysis) is by Zach Rausch. As Haidt writes in the intro:

You have to be more specific. Do you mean by law or by twitter mobs,...?

It a weird argument anyway. Almost anything good can be used for a bad purpose. We strive to write code that is performant, extendable and bug free, but sometimes we can't, because practical reasons trump the 'ideal'. If we were compelled to do so always, that would be disastrous for our livelihoods. By your logic we shouldn't even strive for it, because of the negative possibility.

The wind and the posture aren't as much of a problem as the mental strain of riding a motorcycle. It is simply more difficult than driving, the constant gear shifting, cancelling turn lights manually and always being in a kind of defensive posture where you assume that you are invisible and someone might run into you.

I've always gotten into a kind of flow state while riding a bike. The exhaustion after hours of riding felt very similar to studying or coding all day.

Interesting to see the discussion going towards converting 66.9 cr to Millions.

However, what is the type of data is my curiosity. Is this sensitive data such as PCI or some details such as : Names, Phone Number, Location etc.
If it is sensitive data, how he got that data is the biggest worry.

Hope there is enough clarity on the type of data.
My gut feeling is that the higher order bits are not age, but rather unfamiliarity with technology and inability to adapt to changing technology. It just so happens that these two things tend to correlate with age. I don’t think 55 is anywhere near the age where a decline in mental acuity would typically start hampering adaptation, and the cutoff age for “familiar with technology and able to adapt to new tech” is probably rising as gen Xers age.
