Because there is no competition, and demand has massively outstripped supply. If you want to make money in academic management, you need to build an organization to manage and then justify a high salary to do so. And this is what happens. Huge staffs doing nothing but justifying the boss’ salary have appeared at universities over the past few decades.
They aren't, but Scandinavia may as well be. The only land border is an icy, barely-populated taiga controlled by an extremely authoritarian, violence-happy enemy of the West. My bet is crossing that border is _significantly_ harder than the US-Mexico border

Your question makes me wonder about chromebooks.
Strange as they probably barely know or care that FB is behind these products. I think they just gotta make it cooler. The Quest 2 is a bit like having a Wii strapped to your head. Not saying that it is easy to make it awesome but I do think awesome is what is needed.
Ask HN: What are some popular books affected by replication crisis?
I was planning on reading "Thinking: Fast and Slow" after seeing it recommended here. I soon saw that some of the studies the book relies upon might be flawed. This made me wonder, what are some other popular titles that at least need a disclaimer?

Surprisingly no mention of the temperatures. From Reuters

> Temperatures this week are expected to hover between 26 and 38 degrees Celsius (78.8 and 100.4 degrees F), weather officials say.

Heat waves are particularly difficult to deal with when the overnight low is not cool enough sleep well.

The thing is, I can pick and choose the government to host the website. If I don't like the Czech government's policies, I can use a domain in Turkey or Libya.

The hierarchical nature of DNS makes it impossible for the US to covertly mess with that.

This is strictly better than the current situation where de-facto any government can get a certificate for your domain name by putting pressure on one of the countless CAs. And quite a few governments even have their own CAs recognized by browsers.
I’ve never seen the NYT opinions section advocate for far left positions, like abolishing money for instance. Calling the NYT far left is like calling Joe Biden a socialist.

In fairness, I'm not sure the return to society of minting another physicist is all that high. Many seem to go into computing anyway.
Are you saying that you think Broadcom are still subsidising the Pi? Even the Zero 2W, which has a custom chip designed by Raspberry Pi?

I mean, as I understand it, they ship about half a million CM4 units alone every four to six weeks, and they sell Pi hardware to businesses like Citrix: why would Broadcom need to/be willing to subsidise chips at that scale?
Thanks for listening! Hopefully that should clear things up

I can tell you're struggling, so I'll try to make it even simpler.

Normal beliefs (kids don't belong in sexually charged drag shows) are being tagged as "Nazi".

Certain factions have deemed it acceptable to commit unprovoked violence against anyone labeled thusly, accurate or no.

Do you deny this, or not understand? If so, you will continue to struggle in confusion, because it's an incredibly clear concept and phenomena and harder to make much simpler than that.
Most people seem to criticize the Great Barrington authors because of whom they chose to associate with, rather than their actual position on medicine and science.

Even as somebody who frequently shakes his head at Florida, they really didn't do significantly worse in a way you could pin on the governer's policies. The entire covid cycle was a learning process and people frequently made useless comparisons, such as rank-ordering states that have very different demographics.

Let's all be intellectually honest here and push back on some of the common post-COVID tropes.
Reddit has lots of politics on the default front page, even on subs that aren't explicitly political. But my point was that a reddit replacement needs to have all the fun stuff that attracted reddit's userbase. It can't just be the political extremists who have been permabanned.
If you don't like the outcome, you can just work for the right to vote against it. Sounds fair to me.
I’ve had professors share PDFs of copyrighted textbooks with the class. I doubt this was legally valid in any way.

I personally love to buy textbooks because I think a physical book is easier to retain. Printing and binding a PDF at Fedex is usually a similar cost, and I’d rather have the nice physical copy decorate my bookshelf, like a hard-won trophy.

I would make the argument that textbooks should cost more than novels because I can read a novel at a page per minute or two, but a textbook is probably more like a page per 30-60 (on average). Then again, many Dover books cost around the same price as novels.

That being said, you might need to consult 3 or 4 different textbooks for a course, and on a student’s budget, this is absurd. Anybody that doesn’t have parents in the upper middle class and beyond will suffer. Science is an engine of social mobility for the intellectually gifted and nobody should feel bad for pirating textbooks. I think, like pirating journal articles, the only people that disagree with you are publishing companies.
How? Enshittification appears to be inevitable to me, unless one has a benevolent benefactor paying all the bills. Or perhaps strong and wise regulators who can force profit motivated organizations to interoperate and enforce interests of users.
Thanks for the feedback. I use Java to do the static code analysis, C# for the front end and DB connections. One of the biggest issues I've had is trying to explain what it does and how it does it. If I say too much I scare people away. So I am not sure how much information to give at once. As for coding it over a weekend, it's taken me a few years to get it to this point I doubt I could re-write it that quick :-)
On the nose.
Do you have some examples of the language seeming boneheaded? Sounds interesting.
Very interesting but swing is so difficult to hear in real tracks. Also I noted that in the "swing" example, if I enable swing on bass and hi-hats then kick and snare (which are supposed to be straight) start to sound slightly off beat.

Actually, network firewalls have nothing to do with website paths at all, but that is how the parent was using the term, so clearly they were thinking in terms of a more ambiguous term like sandboxing or isolation. Not looking to be pedantic, but by conflating the two terms, the parent was confusing both themselves and others -- and giving dangerously insecure advice.
Do you at least get some performance benefit from the data locality?

List 3 please. That is without a snark. I needed couple of pi-s for some personal project and it was EUR 100 or more per piece. Up to the point where cheap android rooted phone looked like a better option.
This is a naive take imo, especially in a small business where you're signing checks from your personal bank account to your employees. When I'm paying someone for work out of my own pocket, I'm going to make sure that they're reaching peak productivity. I don't know why this expectation wouldn't exist at a larger company as well.

Two things can be true at once: my employee can be delivering good results, and my employee can deliver even better results. Just because an employee is delivering results doesn't mean that is their maximum potential.

The other thing you're not considering is the fact that management has a responsibility to maximize productivity with the workforce they have. Where you see management failure, I see managements responsibility.

Now, none of this means there aren't poor managers (I've had those), nor does it mean that the solution is straight up surveillance. What I am saying is as someone who does manage, and as someone who does pay employees, this issue isn't nearly as cut-and-dry as you're making it out to be.
This is an interesting concept I’d like to hear more of with this so called preventative value. Is this to say in their absence bigger troubles would show up so having their services prevents worse outcomes from sneaking up on us or something?
I don't know if you are US, but at least here, I perceive it is against the current culture to do this. Love to be wrong, but I don't think so.

>Fold is also simpler than REDUCE since it does not have any special case, making it easier to reason about its behaviour.

If returning the initial value when the list is empty is considered a special case (or "surprising aspect") of REDUCE, then it's the same for FOLD, no?

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it" seems apt here regarding both Karpathy and Elon. You can call me skeptical, but when there are millions and billions of dollars on the line for the two respectively, I don't know if I believe in Karpathy's expertise (which is in AI, not self-driving per se) and personal integrity sufficiently to believe he is doing what he considers to be the right thing vs. putting profit ahead of human lives.
Claiming that the emerald mine doesn't exist (he himself said it existed in an old interview in Forbes or Fortune, his father said it existed).

Claiming he held his baby in arms as it died. His ex-wife said it was her.

You also have the technically-true but so misleading as to be a lie:

He said workers could have Juneteenth off at the time before it was an official holiday. What he left out was that you had to take one of your personal days and get permission from your supervisor. Just like any other time off.

He said that workers didn't have to come in to work if they were afraid of Covid on Joe Rogan. What he failed to say was that they would fired.

And can you never call a product a lie for any amount of lateness? If it takes 100 years that wasn't a lie? The fancy solar shingles demoed before the Solar City acquisition don't exist and won't in any time frame anybody cares about, if ever.
I am leery of anyone who advocates "states' rights".

That was true in an age where there were only a few channels or methods of dissemination, each of limited bandwidth so that some curation has to happen.

I'm not so sure that's quite as true now, where there's essentially no need to curate. We've seen several channels/modes of distribution overwhelmed with spam, ads and extreme content, Usenet one of them. At least some of the time spam and extreme context have to be suppressed.
I had the same question.

There’s an explicit breakdown in one of the graphs, Suppliers and a graph on Price Per Method. They cover both obvious approaches to Direct air capture (DAC, Electrochemical Ocean Capture) and less obvious ones (BioChar, Biooil, Mineralization, Enhanced weathering, Biomass removal, Macroalgae).

I suspect that the inclusion of some on a reference dashboard will increase their legitimacy, and lower the case for approaches not included here. I also expect that companies will start favoring the cheapest approach.
How is this anachronic? Here is a clip from Dec 2020 with Musk making the claims about high resolution radar (skip to the last minute):

Still is. There is even an EU exception to the ban because no replacement was good enough.
Voluntary carbon markets typically trade in both avoidance and removal (i.e. sequestration) credits. Since this site is called Carbon Dioxide Removal I would assume listed trades only cover sequestration, and my cursory review of the listed removal methods appears to confirm that only sequestered carbon trading is listed (but the methods section does not state this explicitly).

Regarding "is it paying for stuff that would have happened anyway, or is it somehow net removal?": One of the requirements for generating carbon credits is additionality, i.e. a project should only receive carbon credits if it were not viable without the revenue from those credits. But as you point out, determining additionality is rather difficult and often fuzzy.
That’s tricky for some people, especially for skinny people in combination with big cheekbones. Did you try the 3M masks too, in tests they seem to perform in average much better than the Asian style masks just out of two pieces laminated together. They seem to work best on round faces, which are very common in Asia.

> It will never not irk me when people say ”Please feel free to X” when they mean ”It is paramount that you do X”

Another big one is when people say “Not my favorite”, but mean “I hate this”.

And a cause of great confusion in the workplace: “Can we do X?” meaning “You should do X, I am delegating this task to you”

And then there’s the whole genre of “corporate speak” memes like what “Per my last email” really means.

On a more personal note, the California Yes is super frustrating when making plans with people. Just because someone said Yes, does not mean they have any intention of actually showing up. They might get a headache an hour or so before the planned meeting time. Headaches are very popular in California it seems.
None of this is surprising and it is going to continue to get worse.

I spent 4 years in Vietnam and 2 of those traveling 15,000km+ by motorbike (across Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos). I've been to the remotest parts you can possibly get to and seen more than even the locals have of their own countries.

All three of these countries are eco-nightmares.

They've dammed up all the rivers in the north, which has affected just about everything. When the rivers are running during the wet season, there is plenty of power, but as soon as the dry season rolls around, entire rivers run dry. Only to have massive flooding when it rains again. Slash and burn entire mountains for farming, so that when it does rain, there are massive landslides.

The trash and pollution is out of control. It is literally in the culture to use plastic, for everything and to just dump/burn it everywhere. There isn't a single place that isn't rife with trash.

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the country and the people are lovely. I just wish they cared about what they are doing to the planet a bit more. The government controls what the people think (case in point, the helmet "law") and abysmal education of their people. They could easily tell people to cut down their plastic/trash usage... or stop blocking all the rivers... but that's not in line with profit/corruption... so it won't ever happen.
For the US the parent said it was 200k migrants in one month. That's 2.4 million/year, or 0.7% of the population.
I often see "Paradox of Tolerance" cited along the lines of "if we tolerate the intolerant (e.g. racists), they will silence everyone else and this will destroy society; hence, we shouldn't tolerate the intolerance". -- In this interpretation, it makes sense to put "fascist and racist" in the same bucket.

But, Popper's "Paradox of Tolerance" is about what should be tolerated at the government/society level. You want "what the state silences" to be very small. The threshold for "who the government should silence" should be a high threshold of "society would be destroyed if they're not silenced"; and silencing should be a last resort, only after reasoning/argument fails. -- In that sense, putting "fascist and racist" in the same bucket is absurd.
Those seem to be mostly serious approaches, i.e. no offset on historical forests, but they include some approaches that are not as obvious as direct air capture.
We are wired for negativity because being on the watch for bad things was a way to improve our chances of survival a long long time ago before the Internet. A little bit of anxiety is good for survival, a little bit of anxiety improves performance.
However, now we are bombarded by anxiety provoking news every single day. A lot of anxiety is disabling.
Being hardwired for negativity was once advantageous, but in the age of computers, internet and AI that seem to evolve much faster than we do, it does indeed seem to be a disadvantage of the negativity bias.

My above comment however was just a thought I had. I am not an authority on the topic.
If this is a serious comment it should be very easy for you to look up criticisms of esg investing. I'm not sure what you're hoping for from the OP.
You say family members died because of Nazis, then trivialize actual Nazism by insinuating that I may be one, because I dislike people casually using that term!

A lot of contracts I'm seeing nowadays include the opt out of this working time directive.

They say you can opt in or out at any point by providing a written request to HR, but defaulting to opt out at the point when all the power is with the company (the candidate is signing the initial contract, and may not want to rock the boat) seems wrong IMO.
> it's coming over on a boat.

Is a maritime shipping supposed to drive up prices or something? I thought it was the cheapest way to go, to the point of being cheaper than trucking.

The only exception I can see if for stuff that doesn’t store well, but controlled atmospheres have done a ton to make it possible to eat “local” apples in the middle of winter.

> The article is wrong also, in that it praises Iceland for renewable energy when it is really just geographically lucky.

Lots of places that are geographically lucky still fail to take advantage of that very same luck. Iceland could just as easily not have used geothermal energy to heat nearly all their homes, but they saw their advantage and capitalized on it. That should be commended, imho.
Looks like this was a email broadcasting thing? Reminds me of an incredible rickroll I read about earlier. Well worth a read if you haven’t already.

Econ 101 lessons from the Twin Cities
That's a very disingenuous way of describing that issue. Much of the banned material is entirely suitable for children, just not something the governor and his supporters approve of. Books containing various minorities, characters with parents of the same gender, and various other real-life situations that children are likely to encounter, but that the government would prefer hidden from public view.

And I also seem to remember news from a couple of years ago that scientists from state-funded institutions (I think this was also in Florida) weren't allowed to talk about climate change.

I think both of these are pretty serious restrictions of free speech.
Hopefully you’re not eating like that and poor. If you did, you’re going to live a long time and need to save a ton for a long retirement!
I'm very surprised if they're able to actually get really good quality data on what constitutes removed carbon. Most carbon offsets for example are a scam, in the sense that one of the most common 'offsets' is for example paying people to not cut down trees - that they may or may not have been planning to cut down in the first place. There's no international standard or monitoring bodies, and the registries are generally incentivized to make the people paying them (industry) look good.

The whole concept is silly, we don't offset crime for instance. I can't just pay someone in advance to not punch someone so that I can do it.

Offsetting is just a way of propping up existing unsustainable business models in the eyes of ESG investors. It's greenwashing.

I'm not saying none of this is real, but I'm sure it varies dramatically and the data is probably epically unreliable.

Thanks for responding. I apologize for the confusion, but part of that is because I am just learning how to market this product. So, SQL Simulator is a feature of both Ratifier and Kulvert. Ratifier is meant to be a data validation or QA tool. Where as Kulvert is a CI\CD pipeline for SQL Scripts. You would use the SQL Simulator in the Ratifier to test your changes before you check them in. You would use Kulvert to apply your changes to the database if and only if SQL Simulator found no problems with the SQL Script or other logic checks.

I may need to create separate gitbooks for each of the programs so that would reduce the confusion. I hope you will find success with your product.
It should look for things that match the meaning of the words searched.
