No politician will stick their neck out for someone based on past donations if:

1. There is little hope for future money

2. The donor is universally reviled

Dialing into tech conferences and lying his ass off wasn't necessary the wrong strategy. SBF's goal at the time wasn't "avoid jail;" it was "bail out company and course correct." He wanted to acquire a lot of large investors to save his company, and a lie-filled PR campaign was probably the best bet he had to do it. The estimated value of (tiny chance) * (stay a billionaire) versus the estimated value of (smallish chance) * (avoid prison) might have looked like a pretty good call to him.

Or, more likely, his life as he knew it was under threat and he was panicking by following the same script that always worked for him before. But it wasn't NECESSARILY the wrong call.

I don't get this. If a project has a devcontainer configuration, you don't have to use it - it's just there if you want to use it. Also the devcontainer format considers vscode an extension, it's not mandatory - it's just that vscode is about the only thing to fully support devcontainers, so it's the natural choice (for now).
That it came from Donald Rumsfeld in the context of what we know now and what he surely knew then is why it's such a good quote. The words basically say nothing but are also true about everything. So it can implicit be a warning that there is probably some bullshit going on or someone has a sense of humor and is also warning people while also avoiding the subject - of course just my opinion. How people actually use it will depend what the audience agrees it to mean.
Not trying to lend to your theory, but I found a interesting document:

https://www.bop.gov/resources/pdfs/detoxification.pdf

> Inmates with a dependency on cocaine or other stimulants generally do not require treatment in
an inpatient setting. The cessation of this substance does not always cause specific withdrawal
symptoms. However, symptoms may be severe enough to require clinical intervention. For most
inmates who use cocaine or other stimulants, medications are not ordinarily indicated as an
initial treatment for withdrawal or dependence, as none have shown efficacy. Inmates are treated
symptomatically.

> SAMHSA recommends that patients withdrawing from stimulants should be monitored closely for
depression/suicidality, as well as prolonged QTc intervals and seizures, which may be additional
complications of stimulant withdrawal. An EKG is recommended during cocaine withdrawal to monitor
for cardiac complications.

But "reverse" is a division, and anyway, one operation and its "reverse" are not necessarily of symetric complexities.

A suite of tests might be better: point them at a candidate browser and they'll tell you which naughty and which nice features that browser supports.

Then point the other half of the test suite at a candidate site and get a similar list of naughies and nices.

Conscientious technologists of the world can then refuse to support browsers or sites that test naughty.

This is my attempt to avoid preaching to the choir. Market share wise, only a tiny slice would opt into the non-evil browser. But it's that slice who also makes things work for the rest of the world, so:

no matter how ... well-connected your client seems

Is SBF connected at all anymore? At this point, everyone knows he's a fraud (at least in the court of public opinion). There's no money to be gained by helping him; associations to him are toxic; favors are unlikely to ever be repaid. He may have used some of the money he scammed for donations to curry favor, but that only works up until the scam falls apart. What sort of connections are you thinking of?

There are lots of people that have this view that there is "objectively correct" language, and that you can find it in grammar books and dictionaries. Any linguist worth their salt knows that is a completely outdated and classist way of studying language. Dictionaries are supposed to be updated acording to how people use language, not people be "corrected" to try to follow the dictionary. While language learners speak a language "wrong", any group of native language speakers has rights of ownership of their language as any other group, and as long as they are communicating in a way that they can understand each other, they are never wrong.

Your reply is important. There is a myth that bullies are weak cowards. Now, they may actually turn into cowards when they are faced with a fight that is important but they are likely to lose. But the idea that you can poke them in the nose and they'll go running is very false. It is absolutely true that fighting back without something to back it up can turn a bad situation into a far more dangerous one.

Not arguing that people shouldn't fight back against odds, or that there's no benefit to fighting even if you'll lose, but I insist that we be realistic about the situation a lot of people getting bullied are facing.
Are you talking about cutting people's tongues out, or prior restraint? Because you don't know who to restrain if they haven't already said something. As a consequence of things you've said in the past, or things that you have just said and have not yet been distributed, you can have that distribution limited or prevented.

All of them are consequences.

I agree. To be clear I'm not suggesting anyone start denormalizing everything. I'm saying if you're fortunate enough to be on a green project, you should design the schema around the access patterns which will surely be "denomarlized." as opposed to designing a normalized schema and designing your access patterns around those.
How to Use Fidelity as a Checking or Savings Account
I really enjoy the concept of unknown knowns, but I don’t agree with your example, which is an unknown unknown.

To me the corporate version of the unknown known is when a a project is certainly
doomed, for reasons everyone on the ground knows about, yet nobody wants to say anything and be the messenger that inevitably gets killed, as long as paycheck keeps clearing. An exec ten thousand feet from the ground sets a “vision” which can’t be blown off course by minor details such as reality, until the day it does.

Theranos is a famous example of this but I’ve had less extreme versions happen to me many times throughout my career.

Another example of unknown knowns might be the conflict between companies stated values (Focus on the User) and the unstated values that are often much more important (Make Lots of Money)

My point is that the existence of on-device-filtering is one of the reasons why this law is problematic. It imposes a burdensome restriction before less burdensome restrictions have been attempted.

The presence of porn online does not make it impossible for parents to do anything about the devices in kids' pockets. We have other avenues we can use try to address that problem before abridging speech. The lack of attention to those methods and the willingness of lawmakers to jump to the most burdensome restrictions that they think they can pass -- that makes the law (and their motivations) more suspect.

We are not actually in an impossible situation that can only be solved with Internet IDs. The existence of on-device filtering is why the situation is not like a liquor store that's down the street. Digital devices allow for additional mechanisms for safety and parental controls, and Texas lawmakers have ignored those mechanisms.

Why include WebM in that list? WebM is good.
As explained in the Wikipedia article, we use the Newton–Raphson method method with O(log n) steps to find the reciprocal of the divisor, then we multiply this reciprocal by the dividend. Each step of the reciprocal method reqires a single multiplication, with the precision doubling at each step. So the steps take M(1), M(2), M(4), ..., M(n/2), M(n) time. Since multiplication isn't sublinear, M(cn) ≥ c·M(n) for c ≥ 1 and "most" n (very roughly); thus, M(n) + M(n/2) + M(n/4) + ... ≤ M(n) + 1/2·M(n) + 1/4·M(n) + ... ≤ 2·M(n). Adding the final multiplication, we get an upper bound of 3·M(n), or O(M(n)).
NOPE.

The helical path creates a twist in the plasma which cancels out the drift forces. This is what I meant by "tricking" the plasma. User mjfl gives an even more technical explanation:

> By twisting the plasma into a shape where the curl of B (proportional to J) is parallel to B, i.e. a helix, the cross product is 0, and thus there are no net magnetohydrodynamic forces on the plasma.

Hope all that's a good answer for you.

> Mobius aspect

You might avoid using the word "Mobius" and instead use "helical." A Mobius strip is important because it has two faces which form a single surface. The surface aspect isn't relevant in this context, so a term which refers to the shape would likely dispel confusion in a reader.

As far as I'm aware, each section of a stellarator is periodic in its own right, which means the end and start points of each section are the same. Though I'm not certain, the choice of four versus five is more likely an engineering factor rather than one of physics, whereas the distinction between a tokamak and stellarator is of physics and not just engineering.
