>I've suggested (& published in 21 journal papers) a new theory called quantised inertia (or MiHsC) that assumes that inertia is caused by horizons damping quantum fields. It predicts galaxy rotation & lab thrusts without any dark stuff or adjustment.

In the physics community theories that reject dark matter are broadly considered pseudoscience and theories that reject WIMPs are broadly considered unlikely to be true.

> In SQL, on the other hand, you'd have to write each of these queries by hand

Nope. Can be written as a non-predicated recursive CTE. Just add a 'where' at the end to specify what you want.

The practical difference is in the way the search takes place. In SQL you would get the right results but it might take a lot longer because it might (depending on what you're looking for) generate all possibilities and just pick the ones you want. In Prolog I think it's a bit more intelligent in searching.

That depends, of course because it's an implementation detail and predicate pushdown or whatever might regain that efficiency, but from experience I can say It Depends.

(I recently did something like this at work, so it is actually useful)

Control the language and you control everything made from it. I can be civil and choose words, but it's why I won't have my language policed either. A lot of euphemisms aren't meaningful about the subject, but more about demonstrating alignment to others who are operating on the subject. It's the banality of people who think in clichés.
Of the three parties involved (HackerOne, the company, and the researcher finding the bug), the company has all of the leverage.

Depends on your application - A game engine won't break down into this 4 layer model, but lots of enterprise applications (or ecosystems) will.

If an application continues to grow, and the team building it grows, it will eventually need to be broken apart into smaller independent blocks to make it practical for a large team to work on it and maintain it. In a smaller codebase with fewer engineers, you can make different choices.
Doesn't the Turing halting problem also imply that (some) things are not predictable (the halting of certain algorithms)? But I don't think that interferes with causality.
I like C4. I'd previously discounted the "context" diagrams that inevitably show "User -{do their job}-> System-of-Record" as useless. Now I see the point.

I'm working through a new piece of system design for a complex system using C4 with our extended teams.

In drawing the top level this time around though I realized that b/c we have a semi-disconnected mobile app (aside from a web UI) we need to degrade certain behaviors gracefully if we don't have certain results yet, either b/c we're offline, or the backend is just slow for some reason.

That rippled down into the next layer of the system as a job queue, which then rippled into the UX, because we can now say definitively which parts of the system may take an unbounded amount of time to complete a request.

I'm sure we'd have gotten to this conclusion eventually but the analysis put the issue front and center.

All because I had to draw a picture with "Remote-User --{Mobile Stuff}--> Backend."

Also whichever tool you use is up to you. I just use draw.io for example with different tabs for each layer. As we elaborate on this at some point we'll break the lower layers out to their own files.

Four historians tell us a ghost story
Reminder that the entire point of UBI is to eliminate needs testing for welfare. Why?

1. Administrative costs
2. Disincentive to work
3. Simplification
4. Equality

The government only does one thing: takes money from people, and gives money to other people. They don’t build roads or systems of defense. The vast majority of the government outlays are somehow concerned with giving out money to people that “need” it, and they do a patently awful job at it. The idea of UBI is just to give that money away efficiently instead of creating a massive poverty pimp administration. Even people that hate the idea of giving away money start to look at it favorably in comparison to the current system. In numbers, the US government spends about $25-30k per adult citizen. Maybe give each adult about $15k per year and eliminate all spending on healthcare, education, social security, welfare, housing, and anything concerned with diversity, equity, or inclusion, because everybody’s getting the exact same thing.

But that’s not going to happen without a huge fight from the poverty pimp lobby, and by fight I mean stuffing the pockets of legislators and judges while calling for riots over perceived injustices. So anything in this direction will just increase the size and inefficiency of the poverty pimp business, and thus achieve the opposite of its intention.

In conclusion: nice thought; bad idea.

No it didn't, it's a cute quip trying to play on how history is written by the winners but his version isn't actually true. There are plenty of examples where it's generally agreed that the "bad guys" won.

Even if you try to read it as good bad being subjective I don't think there's any fixed lens though which a history book would interpret the winners being the good guys in every conflict.

The bad guys for sure won the Iraq war.

"Their book suggests that many women don't marry the father of their child not because they reject the concept of marriage, but because they do not see him as a reliable source of economic security or stability."

Marriage is not a magical thing that fixes economic problems, even if you want to keep turning the clock back and make certain acts outside of marriage illegal. The only thing that fixes economic problems is money.

"Kearney says she wants to grab the attention of both conservatives who say they care about children's well-being and progressives reluctant to talk about family structures, because the link between single parenting, inequality and mobility in America is too strong to deny."

Marriage is not a magical thing that creates good family structures, and parents can be deadbeat parents even within a marriage. It might give people motivation to stick around, but families that "stick together for the children" can have A) abuse, and B) the same sort of economic problems as unmarried if one or both parents aren't working. What does enable good family structures is support, provided by extended family or other things.

It's just a motherboard with the CPU soldered on, it's not really /that/ much different from my Intel desktop in the sense that it's a general purpose computer that you can plug other things into. Focussing on the S bit of SBC isn't really helpful.

Ultimately a Pi or other SBC is a pretty nice size for using as a dedicated and specialised device for lots of things. I've got one plugged into my boat to monitor boat related stats, I've got one that does logging and graphing of environmental stats around my house (and runs Octoprint). Both running SSDs, and though I could for sure run these services on a larger "proper" computer there's really no need to take the space and power.

Running one as a NAS would be pretty sweet because it would be pretty small compared to my smallest NAS which is a Dell Optiplex USFF machine (https://willj.net/posts/fitting-two-hard-drives-and-an-ssd-i...)
… pickup trucks. That’s what GM would have tried if they wanted EVs to fail.

The automotive preens repeats, like the brainwashed soldiers in The Manchurian Candidate that American consumers are stuck on large cars. There’s a kernel of truth that but this story has been censored. Go to a car dealership and try to buy a small car, at least since the 1970s, and the dealer will give you all kinds of excuse why they can’t sell you one.

For instance the small model might be unavailable new. The factory washed out in a flood. However they have 100 big vehicles made in the same factory that are sitting in a row unsold. They have one used example of the smaller model that somebody traded in the day before and will confess that they can’t keep them on the lot.

From their point for view, if you buy a $25,000 car when you could have bought a $50,000 car that is $25,000 they won’t have a chance to get from you for 10 years. That goes for the dealer, the UAW, the executives and shareholders of the car company, all of it.

The was a short time after the 2008 crisis that American car companies got better while Japanese companies converged with American. (Toyota would love to kill the Corolla but they know if they do that, Corollas with 100,000 miles on them will sell for new car prices.). The the car companies said “if you want us to invest in EVs we need to make big profits in big cars” and then COVID-19 disrupted everything and we are where we are now… Lots of of XL and XXL and XXXL and larger EVs that people can’t afford that they… don’t buy.

> To put it bluntly: do you want her to be unemployed instead?

Fine. Then write her a script and continue to pay her a salary. Hell, let her keep coming into work if she wants to. Functionally, what’s the difference to the business?

Presumably she’s still going to want to maintain social relationships in her life, which means she’s got an intrinsic incentive to do things to benefit someone else even absent financial incentive.

But now we’ve effectively got an atomic form of UBI, which scares people. Yet 1 person’s worth of work is being done for the cost of 1 salary.

In fact, if she starts doing something else productive to society with her time, you’ve got 2 people’s worth of work being done for the cost of 1 salary.

And if someone automates that and she switches to something else, it increases to a 3:1 ratio.

Where is her employment status a problem, except to the sensibilities of people who believe that everyone needs to be “employed”?

If no one ever automated what she was doing for fear of her losing her livelihood, then the maximum productivity we’d ever expect to see is 1:1.

Seems like not having UBI or a stronger safety net is creating a perverse incentive for economic inefficiency.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.

Do you think the resume would give me interviews at least (passing the document screening) for entry level positions?
America is moving the other way because all the wealth and power has been sucked up by the 0.1% and a large majority are too tired, stressed, and poor.

Everything stems from this.

Too much wealth tied up in the health insurance scam to switch to single payer, so people stay bound to their employment, and they can't afford time off or visits to the doctor because nothing is completely covered anymore.

Too much wealth available to politicians and getting elected requires massive funding, so already rich folk are the vast majority of elected officials now. Which means they're completely out of touch of what a poor person's life consists of nowadays.
> Kearney says she's not advocating that children live in a household filled with marital tension or where parents are unhappy or mistreating each other.

Then what is the proposed solution? Pointing out the problem is the easy part. But if you want more people to be married, and if they're currently choosing not to get married, then you need to either force them to get married against their will (institutionalized shotgun marriages) or incentivize them to get married by offering benefits to married couples. The former produces miserable, abusive marriages and traumatized children. And as for the latter, as a country we're already utterly incapable of allocating funding for the aid of childrearing--where's the guaranteed maternity/paternity leave? where's the socialized childcare?--so pardon me if I don't quite see that solution as politically feasible.

Anecdote incoming. Usual disclaimers apply. I genuinely am not sure what true numbers are.

Couple#1

They are married for a good while with three kids. He is a cop in Chicago; she has semi-random kid watching gigs. While it did not happen, they did openly discuss strategic divorce to ease their financial situation.

Couple#2

She works corpo job. He works a cash only contracting job. They are married in every sense, but legally. Two kids. She would not marry for fear of losing existing benefits.

There are some benefits to being married, but the 'benefits of kids while not married' outweigh those. And you can't argue against those cuz then you are taking food away from the hungry.

I was wondering about that, too. The data are very clear: if you grow up with married parents, you will do better. But, should everyone be rushing off to get married, or is marriage selective for people who will do better? Or is it partly selective, and also partly forcing yourself to work through a marriage makes you a better person?
Possibly some of the poor outcomes are due to married people being more likely to be able to sustain a stable relationship. There are a lot of factors confounded with marriage, and it doesn’t seem like the author controlled for them (this is an article about a book and not a peer reviewed study). She explicitly mentioned that married couples are more likely to have a better household income and that single moms are less likely to have support from outside family members. So I suspect that outcomes might be better for a single parent with the income and family support the same as a married couple, but that situation is rare. Similarly, if you forced two people to get married and have kids when they didn’t want to, those kids probably aren’t going to get the same benefit of growing up in a married household.

It's literally in the first paragraph :

>In the book, released last month, Kearney points out a rather obvious fact: Children raised by two parents have a much higher chance of success than those raised by one. Yet she goes even further to argue that whether parents are married or not impacts their children's success.
I would like to hear from people who downvote you their reasons. In discussions such as these where nuances matter a lot, a downvote (or upvote) is meaningless.

"Kearney says she wants to grab the attention of both conservatives who say they care about children's well-being and progressives reluctant to talk about family structures, because the link between single parenting, inequality and mobility in America is too strong to deny."

She doesn't need to grab the attention of conservatives because her findings already support their pre-existing beliefs, like it says earlier in the article. I get the feeling she felt like she needed to phrase this very delicately.
Agreed. Refactoring is like cleaning your house. Spending ten minutes cleaning/organizing your place daily is much less painful than waiting until that one day a month and spending 3-4 hours doing it. At least for me, anyway.

Because cryptocurrencies were already working.

"Use another cryptocurrency" would be a much better recommendation that would solve the problem much better than tabs.

The reason why Bitcoin stopped working well was because Adam Back and others were actively sabotaging it's ability to cope with demand, and instead pushing people towards other solutions.

Those solutions were nowhere near ready, so the best Adam could come up with (except admitting they were wrong) was Tabs.

So yeah, instead of a brainfart it could just be malicious behavior.
