When some people are seeding a torrent for 20 years, with no benefit or profit to extract, there is a good deal of idealism involved. That's admirable. I am not trying to downplay their effort.

But money gives an answer to some problems, and in the absence of it, an efficient answer is not possible. Money gives the answer to the following problem: "Of all the producers of commodities, who is going to extend production?"

Imagine that the whole of Earth, has 3 farmlands in total. In one farmland avocados are produced. In the second farmland olives are produced. Two very similar foods. The third farmland is just uncultivated field. So both farmers, of avocados and olives want to extend production and buy the uncultivated land.

Which one will buy the uncultivated land? Let's suppose that avocados are more expensive than olives, and all 3 farmlands are of equal hectares. The producer of avocados, has bigger profits, so he is able to outbid the producer of olives. As soon as the farmer of avocados extends his production to the newly acquired land, he floods the market with more avocados, effectively making the avocados cheaper.

The same exact formulation can be applied to torrent seeders. Which one of the seeders we want to buy new computers and better internet connection? The seeders of information who are the fastest and more reliable, we want to extend their production and sharing of information.

In the information economy not all information has the same price. Information is the product. The farmland here is computers and optical fibres.

So, money is an automation. Automation as in the "increase of production".
The refusal of politicians to mandate motorcycle helmets for car drivers and pedestrians needlessly increases the number of humans dying as well.

Since the article is referring to "83 cases among countertop workers identified across the state [of California] since 2019", it's almost certain helmets would save more lives than anything you do about engineered stone. So what's the excuse there?
Realistically, the data you need for retirement planning doesn't intersect much with double entry personal finance data. How much you spend on subway last week has nothing do to with your risk of financial ruin at age 90.

All you really need from that dataset is your current portfolio. Everything else you need is specific to investing -- variance of investment, portfolio mix, covariance of returns, age of retirement, life expectancy, etc. From that standpoint, it's practically an entirely new product.

There's also something to be said about the 4 percent rule, and whether additional forecasting work actually improves outcomes. Heuristics seem do to a decent job.

Most people, moral or not, would never kill. Most people rarely feel a desire to kill, and most people know they would feel guilty for killing someone. A person's feelings will keep them in line even if their character won't. The police add an extra incentive.

But executions change all that. Whether or not a person supports capital punishment reveals if their morality is a flimsy thing of feelings and self-interest or a thing of principle. It is safe for someone to hate a heinous criminal and wish them ill. There's little fear of guilty feelings or reprisal. The average person will give in, baying for blood purely because they want to see the hated person suffer. A good person will refuse to hurt others no matter how badly they want to.

Capital punishment is a good litmus test. It reveals those who are murderers deep down inside.

Not all experiences are positive. A 1986 MRE prototype, tested in 2018 (32 years old at the time) is decidedly stale:

Watching a sampling of videos might give you an idea of what to watch for in terms of damaged / stale / degraded food. There's also good information on nutritional choices in emergency situations, including "metabolic water", the amount of water that's consumed or released in consumption of carbohydrates and fats (net positive) vs. protein (net negative), as well as caloric density by unit weight (4 kcal/g for protein and carbohydrate, 9 kcal/g for fats), vitamin, and fibre content.

A friend also reports that organisations often sell or auction out-of-date rations which can remain usable for some additional time.

With careful storage (cool, dark, dry place, low humidity, no degradation of packaging), emergency food should store well.
I’m curious, since most people seem to take company-wide statements like this as having no implicit limitations -

Why? Why would this supercede fiduciary duty? Maybe this is a real ask for managers which isn’t considered anymore after a certain point. Why is every rule expected to apply equally across every level of the company?

Which is exactly why I limited my reply to a discussion about the California study and healthcare systems rather than reiterating the claims in the 2022 article I referenced which states silicosis incidence is 3x higher in Canada, based on 20-30 year old data.

So you think that oppressed people should just continue to lived with the oppressor instead of getting self determination and independence? That doesn't work out well, see countless examples many that are still there today like Xinjiang or Tibet.

Self-determination is a core principle of international law, people arguing against it are almost always repeating propaganda points.
European high-speed trains do 195mph, no security controls except between France and Great Britain, relatively cheap, and often cheaper and faster than planes up to 600 miles, taking into account transportation to the airport and time lost waiting at the airport, since airports are often inefficient and can be quite poorly connected given the traffic.

>internal head/brain/eye trauma can have many causes

But almost all have corresponding external trauma.

The cases that don't have matching external trauma narrow it down considerably.

Restrained in a car seat in a rollover wreck? Maybe.

Rolled out of her bed? Not really plausible. But might seem like a good excuse for someone looking to cover up abuse.

Sort of agree with it being scary that a diagnosis implies a crime, but this is a case where the girl died from bad parenting, whether you call it SBS or not.

Hell, even his excuses are giving a 2-year old too many opiates and letting her sleep somewhere she could fall from while sick. Plus lying about the pneumonia, which wasn't present on autopsy.

I learned the way you described:

Numbers -> Complex Numbers -> Vectors -> Matrices -> Quaternions -> SO(2) -> SO(3) -> Lie Algebras -> GA

(The last 3 might need air quotes around "learned")

But I actually think it could be taught:

Numbers -> Vectors -> GA -> Maybe Matrices?

Discover complex number and quaternions naturally, by playing with rotations. Discover e the same way! (They taught me e through finance.) This would have explained so many of the weird quirks of math I had questions about. I bet it would have made relativity easier.

Indeed, this isn't going to happen anytime soon.
In the context of China’s economic crisis it’s far more relevant.

The 7.2mm homes, if they don’t get occupied, can at least be used as homes by the people who own them, many of whom have put their entire life savings into these places.

The homes that have been sold but not built will likely never be built and the people who have put their entire life savings and taken on debt (that they’re already paying interest on) to acquire those homes will get absolutely nothing in return.
I used Acer Iconia W4-821, a 8" tablet on Win8 for some time.

It was great for my use case, to tinker with PwSh/CentOS VM while commuting or ocassional meetings as a notetaking app. Sadly it wasn't the device even I (a big, tall guy with big hands) could haul around with ease. It really wanted some sort of case/minibag or whatever. It was perfectly fine with a backpack or a messenger bag, but how often do you see people with a messenger bag in the office or meeting?

EDIT: the best case for it would had been some sort of a pistol holster or a leg tacticool holster... even I would mutter 'Nerd' on sight of this.

Actually opposite.

Many forms of trauma can cause these injuries (especially 'trio'), but alone and without matching external trauma, shaking becomes the most likely cause.

Which isn't to say that shaking couldn't also cause some external trauma.
Adding friction makes sense in this context. The ease with which we as technologists move customer data between systems directly contributes to the privacy problem. It’s not the only avenue to improve end-user privacy, but as long it remains easy for companies to move sensitive customer data between systems, this will continue to be abused.

Guess what the Taliban became (and already were)? Just another government with their own set rules and regulations. This is what every "independent militia" or warlord aspires to become.

> What experiment is being performed in Liberland that cannot be done in other countries that already exist?

Existing countries are captured by various interest groups who use their control over the government to their benefit. In a democracy this is generally various industries or government factions that control a large voting bloc or resources politicians need like campaign contributions. In a non-democracy the existing rulers want to remain in power and continue to rule as they see fit.

If the experiment you want to run is a country with an extremely limited government, you would either need a stable country where that is already the case (not currently available), or a way to overcome the entrenched interests in some existing country (good luck), or you need a new country not already beleaguered by entrenched interests.
Untyped in this case means unityped, that is, everything has a single type!

The purpose of static types is to catch type errors at compile time. If everything has a single type and all operations receive and return objects of this type, no type error is caught at compile time.

Other people mentioned that you can, indeed, implement geometric algebra operations with a family of types (for example, a type for lines, a type for planes, etc) rather than having a single type. And thus, operations like adding a scalar to a <something> return a type that isn't neither scalar nor <something>. Which will lead to a type error somewhere, hopefully!

Nobody said that juvenile games cannot be hard work. And yes, I do believe that most smart people can "rake it in" if they decide to play this game.

You mention deny reality. Reality is formed by our actions. Adherence to such systems and the playing of juvenile games ensures their perpetuation. I shall not contribute to what I think is the wrong way to go.

There are a few airports in Europe with a high-speed train station in the airport, like Roissy in Paris (sadly the trains don't go to Paris, wouldn't be French enough) or Düsseldorf and Frankfurt. It can be extremely practical to take the train to downtown wherever in the country instead of waiting 5 hours for your connecting flight to an airport 20 miles away from civilization.

On Android it often stutters, the cursor jumps across the characters at random speeds, sometimes it teleports sometimes it moves one character at a time smoothly. When you lift your thumb it often registers as an extra motion in an unexpected direction. And this is on a flagship Google phone. And it only allows left-right motion, not up-down.

So even if you know about it. It's more an exercise in frustration than anything.
> Edit: I just discovered now that if you long-press on the text to place the cursor, you get a little magnified view and it does let you place the cursor in the middle of a word. So that's probably the most efficient method currently available.

I chuckled a little at this as this is one of the oldest features of iOS, probably even from back in the pre-iPhone 4 days.
That's not been my experience on Android, I can go left right up down just fine. I've tried this on SwiftKey keyboard however but I'm sure it's the same in GBoard.

I actually do not understand the point here. And maybe you are not very familiar with the concept of transactions. Backups can only account for committed transactions.

However, we are talking about Postgres, here, not a generic database. PostgreSQL natively provides continuous backup, streaming replication, including synchronous (controlled at transaction level), cascading, and logical. You can easily implement with Postgres, even in Kubernetes with CloudNativePG, architectures with RPO=0 (yes, zero data loss) and low RTO in the same Kubernetes cluster (normally a region), and RPO <= 5 minutes with low RTO across regions. Out of the box, with CloudNativePG, through replica clusters.

We are also now launching native declarative support for Kubernetes Volume Snapshot API in CloudNativePG with the possibility to use incremental/differential backup and recovery to reduce RTO in case of very large databases recovery (like ... dozens of seconds to restore 500GB databases).

So maybe it is time to reconsider some assumptions.

One use case is the web view allows you to check emails of a workspace that requires a Google Device policy to be installed to use the native apps. Of course, the simple solution is to be given a workplace phone or don't check emails when away from a computer.
> This is a hardware problem, not a software problem.

This is a UI validation problem.

Apple proved in 2007 that you can port tons of applications over to the smartphone. They had to invent their own language for interactions though ("pinch-to-zoom" etc) and it took them two weeks of focus with all their software development staff involved to fix keyboards on capacitive touch.

It may not be possible to reach the same kind of flexibility on a mobile device when it comes to rich text editing, but it's certainly possible to port over a lot of functionality from the desktop.

I usually ask for sales. Always the fastest way to get hold of someone.

Beyond that, sometimes it's begging that does it, sometimes it's threatening. I've discovered that some companies appear to have a rule where if a customer even utters something along the lines of "I will sue you" they're just obligated to escalate it without trying to waste your time -- bingo!

If Apple had decided there was enough profit to be made, then you would already have the device in your hands. The fact that you do not have said device is proof that Apple has decided there's not enough profit to be made.

The irony is that I agree with you one the point that I'd like to see a MacBook Pro with an integrated SIM or e-SIM card, so that I wouldn't need to tether. Where we disagree is on what process Apple has gone through and what conclusions they have reached on whether they can make enough profit off that function.
> You only get into full terra nullius when no country will claim the land.

After looking up the definition of terra nullius it seems to be a term historically rooted in colonialism where states could only establish themselves by successfully applying massive amounts of "sovereignty" aka military power against colonial powers.

Given that Liberland seems to be unable to showcase its sovereignty against Croatian invaders it fails the basic test for acquiring land or even official statehood required by terra nullius.

> Since there is no higher umbrella authority, any police force operating in terra nullius is operating outside its self-professed jurisdiction.

And who is going to complain about that? Certainly not an established state.

I may be elitist, but I'd put that in the "dumb" category. I'm also not a parent so didn't look into babies nutrition yet, but I suspect feeding them anything but infant milk as a replacement for the mother's milk isn't going to do much good. Going in this direction, let's remove "milk" from all the products that aren't suitable. "skimmed milk", "chocolate milk", etc. ;)

Maybe it's not immortality, but just getting off the pyramid scheme of untenable growth.

For a developing nation with a questionable future, one-child-per-family seemed a viable way to solve the problem of finite resources, particularly as a transient "we do this for N years then revert" model.

I notice in the end most of the hand-wringing comes from the economic argument. It's not "Dad needs two children around to care for him in his dotage", it's "who will fill the factories" and "line won't go up without perpetually growing population."

I suspect the loop can be closed with modernization and rising standards of living. If we have 50% fewer people than in 1980, but they're twice as productive, and per-person consumption doubles, aggregate demand remains flat. That can be an interesting play because it keeps demand flat on necessities -- you only need so much rice, so many apartments, so much transport capacity -- but allows for growth in the much more elastic, and less "if we stretch them til they break, our society crumbles", luxury sectors.
It sounds like a silly project, but there is no reason to not be more respectful in kicking these people off of this unclaimed land.
