Yup, and if it does end up being shit. They take it back no questions asked. Afaik, this may not always apply since people have been known to abuse the policies. You still hear of people returning dirty mattresses years later on reddit though...

There is no reason at all for anyone but the Head of Household to vote, who's ever paying the bills and keeping it together.

Democracy becomes less stable as voting increases and individual equity falls. It becomes a race by politicians to dumb down the population and elections a race to see who can offer the public the most free stuff from "the government."

Most people live in dream worlds and do not understand cause and effect relationships, especially young people. Getting more and more uninvested people to vote is not a magic alchemical process. If so the biggest corporations would use the model to gain even more power.

But they don't. You need to own shares in companies to vote. That's how they align their decisions with their future needs.

So I think the difference here is then is gradual migration of the same IP stacks / infrastructure, and not introducing an entirely new "separate" stack.

My only experience with IPv6 was converting an IPV4 distributed database to IPV6. It wasn't... fun. Looking up separate flags and settings, weird errors (thank the gods for stack overflow), frustration.

Nowhere was it suggested, demonstrated, or detailed such a backwards compatibility / migration strategy.
Not an astronomer, but there's at least one important thing to consider:

Stars form in denser regions of gas. However once they grow large enough to start fusion, the solar wind will blow away the gas, halting growth of that star system. So stars have a kind of limit when it comes to size.

That's what makes these early universe large black holes problematic (read, exciting new science): we know black holes the mass of stars can form by a super nova. However the only way we know that these super massive black holes can form is by smaller black merging. There's simply not enough time for black holes as large as we think jwst has seen to form in the age of the universe we think we're looking at. Something in the physics has to give.
So I subscribe to the belief that a Java multi-thread application should have at least 2 pools: 1 bounded pool for CPU-heavy tasks and 1 unbounded pool for IO tasks. I'll probably change the IO-pool to using virtual threads now, while keeping the CPU-pool on real thread.
The law is written that of remote operation isn’t possible, the cars aren’t allowed to move. So in this case, it wouldn’t have mattered.

Yes, this is a contested theory, but it's not a crackpot theory. I'm well aware of the fluid mosaic model. It is not mutually exclusive with what I've described, in fact it's the base from which this theory is formed. And it is not my theory, but the theory first formulated by literally the guy that discovered the mechanism of action of myelinated action potentials (Ichiji Tasaki, who worked on it during his entire time at the NIH). Call it crackpot if you want but please don't do so just because you've misinterpreted a a short forum post trying to introduce a complex concept in a concise way.

To clear it up for you, the transfer of ions across the membrane by ion channels is not something I'm debating. Nor am I saying that the electrical field isn't required for the action potential to propagate. If you took that away from my post I can understand you thinking it's crackpottery. I'm just saying it's not the whole picture. When there's lots of light gas anesthetic dissolved in the lipid membrane keeping the heat capacity low (disordered) it is thermodynamically harder (requires more energy) to form the organized 'solid' (actually more like a gel to be pedantic) state that propagates with/as the action potential.

All these things are happening together, and more (like, how the lateral pressure profile might link the lipid state to ion channel conformational changes, etc). Simple electrical models cannot explain reversible uptake and release of heat (resistance cannot do this) with the passing of the action potential. Nor the reason atmospheric pressure changes dosage, nor the reason there's a change in optical birefringence and scattering. So you know what it describes is not the full picture. But don't take my word for it, go read Tasaki or Heimburg's work on this if you want to understand the detail. http://erewhon.superkuh.com/library/Neuroscience/Lipid%20Mem...

But, always -- Keep the weekends off. And perhaps a bit of Friday evenings too.
What's ironic is the sci-fi future we dreamt was one where robots took over the back breaking work, letting humanity focus on arts, sciences and philosophy, but the reality we got is one where humans are still responsible for a lot of the back breaking work, while AI robots are now writing movie scripts, composing music and painting paintings.

I'm responding to the suggestion that Germany doctored the numbers regarding manufacturing output. I found this suggestion weird but I've tried to respond with a straight answer and not assume anything about the agenda behind the question. This was maybe a mistake.

The OECD defines how "manufacturing output" is measured. The same method is used to measure manufacturing output in every OECD country and has been used for over 50 years. Germany was the 4th biggest manufacturer in the world in 1970 and it's still the 4th biggest manufacturer in the world. Why is this so difficult to believe or preposterous?

Look it up, google it, read some wikipedia, look at secondary economic indicators, employment numbers, everything, there is ZERO evidence of a collapse in German manufacturing anywhere.

> I'm explaining the basics of what we should expect to cause a nation wide housing crisis. Unsurprisingly, the housing crisis is nation wide.

A nation wide housing crisis in a few select cities where people want to live? Or a "nation wide" crisis that you can't solve even by moving to Detroit or Bakersville? Because I"m pretty sure I started this with:

> Why isn’t “go live somewhere else” a part of the answer though?

Meaning, we all can't live in Seattle, LA, Portland, or San Francisco, so why make that a right that can't be satisfied? All of these are already dense cities by American standards, and its clear, looking at plenty of examples from around the world, that popular city densities can increase a long time before there is any real impact in the housing market (I don't think any popular city has tried building itself out of its own local housing crisis before...they just give up to the market eventually, or call for a fixed set of winners via rent control or national subsidized Singaporean flats).

You are just refusing to see the obvious. Having lived in Beijing for 9 years and Lausanne for 2 years, I see absolutely nothing special about California’s housing market that exempts it from supply and demand economics that the rest of the world is forced to follow.

I won’t buy Dell gear again, at home or at work. I bought my kid a monitor for his gaming PC from Amazon. It was advertised as brand new. Dell shipped it in a brand new, undamaged, unopened box. Its HDMI port failed a couple of months later but with many months of warranty left. Then Dell denied a warranty claim because their inventory system had it listed as having been previously registered to someone else. I tried to escalate the claim but they refused it all the way to the top. Amazon was helpful: they let me swap for another brand and just pay the difference.

In before “how do we believe you?” I wrote this all up in a blog post, under my real name, with backing details. If I’m lying, Dell can sue me for defamation.

A Dell corporate sales person contacted me at work to talk about setting up a work account. It felt sooo good to send them a link to my blog post and explain that Dell was dead to me. I didn’t hear back.
I'm serious that the similarities between the papers are superficial.

I don't think it's fair of you to criticize the authors for not citing some obscure preprint, when that manuscript itself neglected to cite decades of prior, relevant work.
Unfortunately no. I have some course notes that I was putting together during the last iteration of the course, but they are in no way ready for public release. And while many other introductions draw a connection between classical and quantum, I haven't seen any that follow the same radical development as mine.

Scott Aaronson does follow a similar line of thinking in this Quantum Computing Since Democritus lectures [1]. He talks about the p-norm aspect, but doesn't talk about the tensor product structure. And I think for good reason. The way I teach is good for learning, but it is not how you would ultimately think about the link between classical and quantum computing, once you become an expert. Then you should think in terms of complexity theory or in terms of axiomatic relations between classical and quantum theories or information theory principles etc.

There is also David Mermin's book, which has a section on a similar sort of reasoning. I don't recommend it as a self-learning book because it has no exercises.

This is actually worse because people could often buy the monitor standalone for the lower price. The bundled "discount" price was higher.
Starcraft 2 kind of ruined what made Brood War special and turned the RTS genre into a kind of rock paper scissors where the computer does most of the work. It was almost certainly unintentional but in Brood War the game is soooooo mechanically challenging that you have to make very careful decisions about whether you want a big army that's dumb and hard to control but can outnumber your opponent, or a small army that's smart and can be used for very efficient tactics. As a human you simply can not have it all and so you have to constantly make very difficult and creative tradeoffs. You can set up cool tactical positions, have way more opportunities for multipronged attacks, and also you can retreat if you think an engagement won't go favorably.

In SC2, the game became a lot more streamlined and automated so you as a player don't really get to express your play style as much as in Brood War. The game kind of has a very blunt set of rules about what counters what and as a player your job is to focus mostly on macro/economy, scouting, and unit production, you build up a kind of death ball army and then send it into a battle that lasts under a minute and whoever wins, wins.

Another annoying aspect of SC2 that's a consequence of how automated the game is, is that it is also often very cheesy, where an opponent can rush out an army that's very easy for the computer to control but the defender has to click like crazy to defend it. I'm fairly high level in SC2 (top 4%), and I can literally tell an opponent I'm going to "cannon rush" them, which is a cheesy strategy that has a very specific defense. I can even tell my opponent what that defense is, and they will still lose to it because the defender needs to click like crazy to defend it while I can let the computer basically do almost all of the work for me. The same goes for a bunch of other cheesy strategies where you rush out a small number of units that the computer has an easy time controlling for you, and force your opponent to have to literally engage in very awkward and precise hand gestures in order to defend the attack, and the vast majority of people simply don't know or care to learn to move their hands that way.

This perspective is becoming increasingly common: "If only we had a different kind of license, the tech giants would not have it their way". But I find it so very very hard to believe it. Google - a single such corporation - has how many billions in revenue each year again? The proprietary software giants around 2000 would have been in a similar financial situation. Do we seriously believe that the open community could produce a piece of software that these giants could not simply ignore and either write their own or purchase a proprietary alternative instead? That we would have some sort FLOSS utopia if only Apache 2.0 was not slapped onto say Solr? Maybe a license can play a small part here, but it being the solution - I highly doubt it. Rather, I think we would end up in a situation akin to the AGPL, where software is produced but it ultimately doing very little to undo whatever fundamentally economic problem that is the root cause of it all.

I don't think VTs should be used in practice until Java 22, when it is likely that synchronization (monitors) will be supported [1]. A lot of code may synchronize and be non-trivial to convert to a ReentrantLock, such as ConcurrentHashMap's computeIfAbsent. This can lead to surprising failures outside of the application author's control, such as [2].

Go was originally non-preemptive ("the loops problem"). This was changed in 2019 to preempt at safepoints [3]. The Java team will probably have to do this too [4], but similarly it is low on their priority list and requires feedback.

java.util.concurrent is still the basis of good Java concurrency. Some external libraries for reactive or actors might become less popular, but they were always the minority. There will be some improvements with structured concurrency to make that a little bit easier, but the fundamental approach will remain the same. I think old advice will be relevant, except when it comes to thread pool sizing (which was always a black art). At best some over eager use of async will go away and we'll return to simpler blocking code.

So, in this HR isn't getting any feedback because they've literally heard nothing but "Yay, you're the best!" for so long that any sense that they could do something, anything different is, comparatively, scathing and harsh criticism?

This just raises so many more questions, like why bother your employee to consider the question and formulate anything if the feedback doesn't reach HR? I can imagine being someone who actually considered the question, took time to write and re-write something, another pass for clarity, a check to make sure that nothing was going to sound accusatory. Writing the email, sending it off, and hoping that the time I took away from my actual job to do this would result in even the chance of a change. But it doesn't, it goes into the round file, apparently.

I don't know, I haven't had as many jobs as some people here, but I have been through all of those regime changes and heard "we want your feedback" over and over again, yet it never seems to go anywhere. I had months on a "strategic vision" committee where we were trying to formulate a mission statement by slurping up data, questions, and forms from employees, going through various iterations of it, but what came back had nothing to do with the content we had received.

Is this always just an exercise in making HR feel good about themselves, then, without hope of any improvement?

Many major European airlines have such programmes, including KLM and Virgin Atlantic. This would not be possible in the USA, considering the American requirement to amass 1500 flying hours without passengers before being granted an ATPL. I don't know what the salary is like, but there aren't as many scholarships available as there used to be. Virgin Atlantic charge £100k for their complete ATPL program, for instance, although they do guarantee employment at the end of the course.
