Looking at Torvalds' responses today, as an older person who has been through some stuff, it's pretty clear he has serious unresolved emotional issues. It's not even that his comments are dickish... it sounds more like a cry for help to me now. Somebody who's been hurt and lashes out as a way to protect themselves, their ego, or the unfair standard they hold themselves or others to. The fact that he's a boy king doesn't help, because he can always take his toys and go home if anybody mentions he should see a therapist.
Thanks for the clarification. I understand your point about the research not being done and also the lack of acknowledgement that we as a species are not as good to each other as we think and that we are very much capable of repeating the horrors of WW2 in a heartbeat.

But still, I can't help feeling like we are regressing.
Why? From what i understand their employees are well compensated.
Holy moly. What does that therapist suggest doing now?
funding the Federal Aviation Administration, included $37.854 million for its Office of Commercial Space Transportation. The office, which received $32.47 million in fiscal year 2022, requested $42.5 million for 2023.

We're talking about maybe an extra $20 million. The idea this demands some reassessment of federal tax policy to meet the funding requirements is just hilariously transparent and nonsensical axe-grinding.

That seems a bit reductive, example from article notes how rocket flight paths do pass over public lands from certain locations and trajectories:

> For example, the company's Falcon 9 launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base sometimes fly over Jalama Beach, which is due south of the spaceport in California. SpaceX has been performing calculations, based on flight path and breakup analysis, to determine whether the beach needs to be closed. But because this work would compete directly with the FAA's Starship analysis, it has put the Jalama Beach review on hold and attempted to find nighttime launch windows when the beach would be empty.
In addition to your comment, what I find mind-boggling is how easily people swing between the two extremes of opinion: it seems every public figure must either be adored and admired, or reviled and ostracized. People (myself included, I don't exclude myself from being human!) do not want to contemplate public figures as complex individuals with dark and bright aspects. It's always all or nothing.

So Woody Allen went from being an adored auteur to someone who not only was declared guilty of a horrible crime in public opinion, but also people felt entitled to declare his cinema was never good to begin with (where were these people before Allen fell in disgrace? Nowhere. They only declared his movies trash once he fell in disgrace).

Same with Feynman. Same with Asimov. Same with Picasso. And the list goes on forever.

People cannot bear the thought that artists, scientists and public figures in general are real people, with flaws and all.

When you take their actions and consider them as a whole, it clearly paints some as good or evil. Sure, no one is movie villain evil or saint-level good, but when a preponderance of their actions have outcomes that are bad for others, then I think it's pretty clear who they are.
That's a fair point. Yeah, I agree those that can charge it at home or a at a depot (for a fleet) this could make sense.

I think your right about them focusing on the wrong thing. Content writing instead of sales. There music discovery is horrible and they don't push any of their artists. I mean they only make money when their artist do. You would think that they would promote them better or have a Spotify like interface to push they artist music.

> 2) it's not really clear if ℤ⁺ denotes ℕ or ℕ₀.

On the contrary. ℕ is ambiguous between the positive integers and nonnegative integers, though in my experience it's usually the nonnegative integers.

But ℤ⁺ is absolutely unambiguous. It's the positive integers.

And since you frequently need to refer to the nonnegatives, it makes sense to have a symbol for them too. There's almost no benefit to having ℕ available as a synonym for ℤ⁺. There's a lot of benefit to having it available as a synonym for ℤ\ℤ⁻.

I think if you don’t know it, you are blind to it. We had some AWS lambda function timing out and the person working on it kept adding more and more resources to get it to complete on time but it would inevitably slow down again. I took a look at it and realized that they were building a huge array and performing a lookup in it each time. Converting the array to a set immediately dropped the runtime and fixed the issue for good.
There are third party appraisals for the value of physical things, and even quite a bit of software stuff nowdays.
The article shows the connection but it doesn't present an intuition of the why, which I think is by far more interesting, and it's key to understanding Fourier analysis.

You can take a vector and shift all its elements to the right by 1 (rotating the last entry to the first position), let's call this operator S.
Since the rows of a circulant matrix C are all rotations, if you apply the shift S, then multiply by C, and then shift back, you get the same result as if you just multiplied by C. In equations, S^-1 C S = C.

This is another way of saying that circulant matrices are shift-invariant. If you have a vector of zeros and just a few values in the middle, the matrix doesn't care where those non-zeros are, the result is the same but shifted accordingly; intuitively, the matrix operates in the frequency domain, not in the spatial domain. This is the same idea behind convolutional neural networks: translation-invariance means that we can ignore the position of an object in an image, and thus share the parameters across all positions, reducing the parameter complexity from quadratic to linear.

Now one of the first things you learn in linear algebra is that if two matrixes commute, they share the eigenspaces. We know that SC = CS from the equation above, so if we want to find the eigenvectors of any C, we can just find the eigenvectors of S.

But if we write S in matrix form, it is just ones under the diagonal, and a one on the top right. That's the companion matrix [1] of x^n - 1! So the eigenvalues are the nth roots of unity, and that shows the connection.

These intuitions translate (haha) quite naturally to function spaces, where shift-invariant operators are diagonalized by Fourier series (for periodic functions) and Fourier transform (for non-periodic functions with finite energy).

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Companion_matrix

EDIT: I just remembered we don't even need to inconvenience the companion matrix. If ω is a n-th root of unit, and you have a vector which is [1, ω, ..., ω^{n-1}] and you multiply it by ω, you get [ω, ..., ω^{n-1}, 1] (because ωω^{n-1} = 1), which is exactly the original vector shifted by 1, so it is an eigenvector of S.

I think that it would be fairly easy (meaning that I think I could do it in 8 hours) to build a Turing Machine that prints 10^1000 1's on its tape and then halts. We would not be able to construct and run physical Turing machine that could do every move physically (by moving electrons) within 100 billion years, but we can still write the proof that it halts, probably with less than 3 pages. (In fact, we could probably tell you which state it is in for any i in the set {1, ...., halting step} without ever constructing and running a physical machine.)

On the other hand, if the "shortest" proof of halting is more than 10^20 pages long, then we would have major problems "writing" it.
The thing about land is that there are a million reasons why one lot might be worth a different amount than one next door. A single lot selling in a neighborhood tells you little about the rest of the land prices in the area because of that. Maybe that lot is on a hill or next to a busy street or everyone knows the neighbor is a giant asshole. All these things change the price on a micro level and are impossible to disentangle.

That summary is a bit revisionist, so the snark is a bit misplaced.

The initial vote count was reported November 8th (the day after voting, which was November 7th).

Since the margin of victory was less than 0.5%, an automatic recount was triggered, which resulted in an even smaller margin.

That, in turn, resulted in a month-long lawsuit, while both major parties challenged individual ballots during a manual recount. Challenging individual ballots and the legal process are what drew out final certification of the election.

It's not really fair to cite that case an example where either the votes were not counted in 1 day, not counted with little corruption, or not counted fairly accurately (the disputes were over fractions of fractions of a percent of all ballots cast in Florida).

I think your comment is the only one here mentioning qualified immunity. This is definitely another qualified immunity case disguised as a free speech case, I'd expect the outcome to be similar on that alone. Until qualified immunity for police is done away with, police essentially have carte-blanche to do what they want without consequence (barring extraordinary incidents of violence).

I forgot to address the Steam Home Streaming with my earlier comment, and I did want to bring that up as well. I didn't even think about it, as the smoothness of cloud gaming just completely pushed this capability out of my mind.

Steam Home Streaming works pretty well on a LAN. Quality-wise, with my desktop at home its even higher quality than Xbox Cloud Gaming. I've got many hundreds of hours on my Steam Link. I just wished they'd make it work well outside of the LAN. I've had mixed experiences trying to run it on a few different VPN stacks. I ran into challenges of it not seeing the other computers, the stream being very unstable and crashing, and other issues. Plus, it means I need my computer's local console unlocked at home, but I prefer my computers to get locked automatically. And even then I've had games get in some stuck state launching or closing where I had to manually intervene on the local console to fix it.

Meanwhile, with cloud gaming I just click launch and the game is going. There's no waiting for updates. There's no managing a local console. I don't even need a gaming rig.

Also, you mention "Most of the United States in particular", I am in the United States. This has been my experience in one of the larger metro areas in the US (DFW). I don't get why it would be viable here but nowhere else in the US. 43% of US households have fiber-optic home internet. 60% of households live in areas with 5G coverage. I haven't been on many trips since getting it, but even a few years ago I could manage to sometimes make Steam Home Streaming work from a hotel WiFi on VPN at various places around the country, even with its challenges I mentioned above. I've got family who game a good bit with PlayStation cloud gaming service on a 5G home internet connection.

43% fiber and 60% 5G definitely isn't 100%, I agree. But it does mean there's a pretty big chunk of consumers who can use this, today. I'm not in some magical internet wonderland inhabited by just my family and me. 43% of ~330 million people is >140M people with home fiber internet, nearly 200M people with 5G coverage, today. And that's just ignoring all the consumers with actually decent cable internet connectivity.

> It's about corrupt police shaking down small business owners

I don't believe that there's ever been any other kind of cop. Certainly not outside of fiction. By prefixing the adjective "corrupt" though, you're certainly buying into it.

Have you never read the headlines where the entire police union tries to extort the entire city? "If we don't get enough cops on the street, bad things will happen". Hell, even more explicitly in Minneapolis after Floyd. Sometimes in the comments here there are hints of people extorting themselves with stuff like "if we didn't have cops, it'd be chaos!".

The linked shakedown is relatively mild by comparison. That feeling you feel is the same as when the tapeworm hooks its jaw pincers into the inside of your gut. But sure, let's just hope for a more gentle tapeworm.

> Property tax: The more of your money you invest into your property, the more you pay for taxes (punishing investment)

> Land value tax: Your tax is unchanged on how much you invest in your properties. A rundown parking lot pays the same amount of tax as the next door skyscraper (encouraging development of limited, high value land, and punishing lazy speculation).

The problem with this analysis of a land value tax is that the value of the lot next to the skyscraper depends on the improvements of the skyscraper lot. This is in addition to the 'inherent' value of being downtown.

If we assume the skyscraper is the highest and best use of the land, it would then appear that both the skyscraper land owner and the parking lot land owner are being charged based on the investments made on the skyscraper lot.

Now, how are market prices determined? Overall, investors and lenders wish to maximize a return on investment. Indeed, property appraisals explicitly consider the highest and best use of a property in determining its market value.

So I am unclear how the explicit taxation of land value and improvement value that exists currently causes differences in behavior from the land value tax system you outlined.
"modern stacks" yeah... they use GraphQL sometimes. I'm sure they'll say Node is cutting edge too. That was exactly my point about tech stack. Dangling shiny keys in front of me in the form of technologies doesn't really cut it. I'm sure it helps for the recent grads though.

It is an understatement to say that the Linux kernel is an important, global-scale software project. A small number of busy people maintain the kernel's design. This is one project where crap should not be submitted.

Whether or not we like the company, a software giant like Google should a) understand the scale of the project and the importance of software design, and b) manifestly understand the rudiments of code quality.

You're just repeating the same disingenuous talking points, as if I'm trying to persuade YOU to use crypto - I'm really not. If those are your conclusions, then you're perfectly entitled to just stay away from it.

The only thing I'm really interested in is why you're making it your business to shame projects for accepting crypto donations?

Just for completeness sake, before you accuse me of disregarding your points:

> And the price comes crashing due to market manipulation and the project loses money

Anyone who sees this as a real threat can convert to another currency immediately or in regular intervals, making it a non-issue while still being able to transact using cryptocurrency.

> Whether they are high or low they are still fees and you said absolutely 0% which is not true

We're talking about fractions of a cent per TX. That's essentially free for all realistic scenarios. All centralized systems carry a 2-50% + fixed ~30c fee.

> Because it is an even worse system than what we already have today.

Situational. Neither system covers everyone's needs.

> With crypto someone can give me $200 and the next minute in my account I get $2

This just doesn't happen in reality. Normal fluctuations happen in both directions just as with any other currency exchange market.

> There is nothing special or anything unique that crypto has solved or done better than the current financial system.

Blatantly false, the current financial system doesn't have any privacy and is susceptible to government interference, e.g. account freezes.

> That is because almost nobody is using Litecoin

And that's a shame, but regardless, it's one of the most secure chains (w.r.t. 51% attacks) with ubiquitous support and one of the longest track records. It's a perfectly adequate way to accept donations.
