You can allege anything you want in court and proceed exactly like someone having a "legitimate feud." You might be punished later for making up a bunch of bogus claims, but you still got the information you shouldn't have.

This is especially effective if you're a powerful person or corporation and can find a litigant willing to sacrifice their own assets and/or freedom to pursue a fake lawsuit on your behalf. The justice system is subject to Sybil attacks like any other system.
The first is not an issue if the transmitted data is time-sensitive.
A far more practical idea is to internalize the practice of 'metacognition' so you can apply it to the vast corpus of books that already exist.

It is also interesting to consider previous attempts to wrap a cognitive model around the physical medium of the book, like the monastic 'lectio divina' of the middle ages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lectio_Divina
You could probably allow supersonic flights over the oceans and get a bit of the best of both worlds. But yeah hypersonic flights from NYC to LA are a terrible idea.

I grew up with analog clocks. How I would answer would probably depend on where I got the answer from. If it came from an analog clock I'd probably say quarter to. If from a digital clock I'd probably give a rounded answer like 2:45.
So is it because the life signals so far suggest simple life that money isn't really pouring into an expedition? That's my inkling anyway. Turns out us apes are still far more interested in everyday stuff than even life outside our sphere.

i.e. I would expect "enthusiasm" to look like discussions on building the infrastructure for multiple missions out there. Communications way points, some basic resource stuff, etc. Stuff to make getting things in that system more robust and timely.

Edit: Maybe experiment/do the laser propulsion tech. "Lighthouses" at critical points.
I like to think about it when I'm doing something else that doesn't require thinking. You also have to let it percolate. It kind of reflects the focused/diffused thinking modes of actual learning.
> Why does this happen?

A blend of anonymity, low self-soothing ability, human instinct to talk trash during competition, people tying identity to performance, skew towards younger people playing, etc.

> How and to what degree does it manifest?

How?
Mostly through voice and chat systems in-game. Also through quitting the game, or blatantly "throwing" a match.

To what degree?
From "You suck" to racial slurs to harm yourself. It's ubiquitous across competitive games -- you'll probably experience it every session.

> How do you avoid it?

The best way is to find a consistent group of folks to play with. Stay away from "random queue". Certain games you can turn off chat features, submit reports, etc. You can also just ignore it and accept it as part of the thing.
The NYT was telling us that the Holodomor was a lie around the same time, and their Moscow correspondent (Walter Durant) won a Pulitzer for it. So we should probably ignore them too if a paper's opinions from the 1930s are still relevant.
There's a war on and some gas lines were blown up. Consequences: A cold winter last winter, and countries scrambling to build expensive LNG terminals.

Last time I looked in this corner of Europe, it takes about 3-6 months to get an appointment to install solar and/or an electric heat pump. Installers can't keep up with demand, and they can't train new people faster than they're already doing.

That definitely isn't happening because the gas alternatives are so cheap.

Energy prices are high not because people are converting. They're high because of the shock caused by the (then) sudden unexpected war in Ukraine, and people simply can't convert fast enough.
It does? Feels like an O(n) scan every time you need to query the children of a node is a nonstarter for most applications (the readme is strangely optimistic about this point). Plenty of cache friendly tree implementations out there, and this one seems actually cache hostile with few benefits in my mind aside from ease of implementation.

Also, I write a lot of code that runs on a gpu, and the claim that this tree is somehow gpu friendly I find particularly dubious.
That's not true.

Only if you dereferenced the pointer before the if-statement.
Interesting read. As a former 100% travel road warrior in semi-exotic places (data centers in developing countries), I'm very surprised he's checking in bags though, that's just asking for trouble. I presume it's the big hunting knife that makes this unavoidable, but is this really that necessary?
It’s not instant responses. It’s more that the many peoples’ first line of communication is no longer voice calls, and old fashioned SMS doesn’t cut it either.

The price of participating in society is to conform to it. You can choose not to, but then you are choosing to live with the consequences. It’s up to you to decide whether it’s worth it, but it’s also society’s decision to whether it’s worth putting up with your eccentricities.

> It’s worth remembering that there is not one single shred of evidence that life has ever existed anywhere in the observable universe but Earth.

I’m curious how your epistemology is working here. It seems to me that this will also be true in the future if we have found life on a hundred other planets. There still won’t be a shred of evidence of life anywhere else, and we still won’t have the faintest estimate of how likely it is to occur, right?

If you want to avoid toxic behavior in your game, don’t allow multiplayer.

Some people will always be shitty, some people will want to play your game, and some number of people will meet both those criteria. The only way to fix it is after the fact, but there’s no way to avoid it.

As to the “how and to what degree” depends on the game and the type of person it attracts. The second something is competitive, toxicity is inevitable because many people take losing personally.
Again, no, because courts don't as a general rule treat with "bogus" claims. If you try to lie to get a subpoena, the other counsel calls bullshit and the judge agrees. This just isn't a thing. This is another angle of the "Hackers Think The Law is a Computer" disconnect. People don't try to hack the courts like this because they tend to get disbarred if they try.
Did you choose a particular brand? I don't trust the supplement industry!
I agree, that's a bright spot which I've just started to get into. It's a real boon for personalised learning. Even mistakes by LLMs are helpful: you know that they're unreliable and you have to stay on your toes, so what they're telling you makes sense. That only benefits actual understanding, rather than rote learning.
Hey, if there's any NASA folk here or if you can drop a line to them... I'm kind of MIFFED at the regularity with which this issue is reported in the press as a "repeating pattern of ones and zeroes" and no one it seems, has any desire to divulge the actual pattern that is being received.

If we're not in the Cold War surrounded by State Secrets, it is time to crowd-source this mystery and that means provide actual dumps of the repeating data along with examples of recent correct data... and perhaps a complete dump of instruction and data memory to the extent of which it is known... so armchair enthusiasts (who aren't all 'armchair' as some of them might have actually worked on Voyager or be familiar with its instruction set) can spot any real pattern or peg the origin of the repeated data. Of course the objective is to create a fault in emulation that at least partly mirrors reality, so we can devise strategies against it.

When I was a tech fixing S-100 bus memory cards and to a great extent today for some systems, identifying faulty chips from diagnostics or observed behavior was the same as fixing the problem, because they were in sockets and could easily be replaced. I even had a hilarious fault in memory-map days where spelling of a word processing document was flipping on the display (bit 1) but printed properly.

This sounds as if a conditional instruction has suffered a bit flip changing the condition and trapping it in a loop from which it should escape. The nature of the 'gibberish' (contemptible term in this context) might yield clues to the nature of the problem or to knowledgeable persons, where the data came from if it is a bit flip in a pointer. Whether crowd sourced persons are capable to actually solve the mystery or not, they might at least offer good suggestions for devising diagnostics to narrow down the cause.

We owe Voyager all our efforts, as the most inaccessible computer system in human history.
Hmm maybe in your experience. I don't know anyone who can't or wont use sms instead of an online messenger. The consistent complaint is that they can't get ahold of me as fast as they used to, because I'm not glued to my phone anymore.

Also, I find it kind of interesting that you equate "owning a smartphone," with "participating in society." I participate in society just fine without a smartphone, and in fact most people are very impressed that I ditched the smartphone and say they wish they could do the same, but of course, "they can't."

Voice calls aren't good enough for people anymore. SMS "doesn't cut it." These are just excuses. Unless you can't afford a phone plan, and rely on your smartphone for its wi-fi capabilities, i would say it is fact YOU, the smartphone owner, who are demanding unreasonable things of me, the dumbphone owner.

>But it's definitely orders of magnitude below SMS/calls.

SMS and call spam are big annoyances but can also be dealt with. On my Android, the Google messaging app is really good at stopping them.

I doubt that Apple doesn't have the tech competency or the money to either build, license or acquire a really good spam filter. Heck, they can acquire every single spam filter company and start-up in the world and their money pile would barely dip.
>Same reason(s) we haven’t finished switching to the metric system.

You're not totally wrong but like the UK we (US) tend to use the metric system where it actually matters and use our variant of Imperial for everyday things which makes perfect sense for anyone who grew up with it. Aside from not having a well-developed intuitive sense for what Celsius means from a comfort perspective when traveling, I can pretty much use whatever local units are in use. (My only real limitation at home is that, aside from my scale, I have very little metric measuring gear so I have to convert.)

In the 90s it was commonplace to design a new protocol on top of TCP/IP. These days, all the tooling and infrastructure is for HTTP. Designing a new protocol, you'd be starting from scratch; HTTP is much, much easier to build an application on top of.
>The event store and the cache are both part of the same system, and it's this whole system that is "eventually consistent".

Then every single system of the face of the earth at a high enough level has a consistency issue. Just go to the level of the full client and backend system using web browsers. You don't refresh the browser you of course will eventually have a "consistency" issue.

Usually when they refer to this stuff it's referring to the source of truth: The database. When you shard the database into two synchronizing copies, you increase the availability with a second copy but that leads to the potential for both copies to be inconsistent.

No, that's stronger than I'd say and I suspect than you think? For example, I think almost anyone would say the nutritional value of 100 calories of whole wheat flour is greater than 100 calories of enriched white flour, is greater than 100 calories of plain white flour.
Neat to know, thanks!
> This is far too sweeping a claim. It’s comically untrue unless you’re defining “outside” as multiple hours of driving, and “big cities” as anywhere over, say, 50k people.

I haven't looked at _every_ city, of course, but it's generally true in many areas. For example, the same-sized plot of land will be 20 times less just 1 hour away near Seattle.

> It’s also obviously untrue once you learn that people leave their houses. Yes, you can build new housing cheaply in a rural area but for people to live there you also need stores, schools, jobs, etc. and that means things like roads.

Schools, stores, and roads are, in general, either cheaper (roads) or cost insignificantly more (school), or about the same (stores).

I did the math. The city efficiency peaks around 200k population, and then it starts to go down. Mostly because you need extra layers of bureaucracy and/or fall down the rabbit hole of mass transit.

And then the denser the city, the more money it needs to maintain itself. And new infrastructure quickly becomes overwhelmingly expensive.

Think about this: one mile of Manhattan subway costs about the same as 1000 miles of a modern new 6-lane freeway.

> You can save money that way but it’s nowhere near as much as portrayed.

By not forcing the densification, you WILL save money and make peoples' lives better. The main issue is job availability. We need to make sure remote jobs and distributed offices have more advantage, via cap-and-trade or taxes.
idk, I think if we see even simple life at multiple points in our own system that we can increase our expectations for the prevalence of life very significantly.

And of course given how vast and indifferent to life the universe is, life would still be vanishingly rare in the universe. It's going to be always precious and a gem.
Loops themselves can be considered just convenient wrappers around goto. The point is to restrict the variety (structured programming) and make spaghetti unreadable code less likely.

Using higher-order functions instead of loops is similar e.g. loops:

# input_ = "1,2,3"
numbers = (int(d) for d in input_.split(","))
product = 1
for n in numbers:
product *= n

can be replaced:

numbers = map(int, input_.split(","))
product = reduce(mul, numbers, 1)
No, fiduciary duty is broader and more subtle than that.

Your second statement is categorical enough to be silly. In some cases it is true, but if you think a bit on it you'll soon realized it's not hard to construct cases where it is false.

As for fiduciary duty, there are several aspects in this context, which applies to all of your D&O's not the CEO particularly (and less concretely so employees). One is a duty of care (you have to do the job properly). The aspect you are talking about boils down to a duty to act in the best interests of the corporation as you understand them as a professional. That means that you cannot act in the best interests of any stakeholder, third party, or yourself at the expense of the rest. You can't collude with the employees to screw over the shareholders, or the with the majority shareholder to screw over the others, or with your brothers company for a contract, etc. etc. etc. This is commonly mistunderstood to mean "maximize short term shareholder value", but that is not correct. Now as the CEO the board has the right to fire you if they can (majority) agree that they don't like the strategic or tactical direction you are going and you refuse to change tack, but none of that means you have failed a fiduciary duty. If you make a decision and can back it up with experience etc. in some way that other people in your position would likely agree with being a viable plan, you are not in breach of fiduciary duty.

There are a bunch of other things, e.g. disclosure & loyalty, good faith action, etc. but you are getting hung up on the one that is usually misunderstood as a narrow interest in the shareholders.
I can stuff some bills in the mini-wallet I carry. Coins mean they're either rattling around in my pocket or I need to carry some sort of coin purse.

Never bought a car for more than 2k, and never had any problems. They’re indeed usually over 100k miles, but definitely not in rough shape. In fact, my first car was under a grand, and it was built like a tank. I was not kind to that thing, and the only thing that killed it in the end was a head on collision (everyone was okay, lady got some expensive driving lesson that day).

I go for older cars because they tend to actually be more reliable, and the plus side is they’re cheaper.

I’m presuming “ICE” means internal combustion engine?
It's a good question. On a previous thread, someone here mentioned that it allows for Hackintoshes.

As long as the people using fake serials are a small group of hackers, developers, etc. who are hardcore Apple fans in the first place and merely building things for personal use, I can see Apple intentionally turning a blind eye.

But once that starts getting abused to build a consumer product at scale, it becomes a whole different story.

And I have to imagine it becomes difficult when dealing with old devices, 99% of which have long since been thrown out or recycled, and those serial numbers are ripe for re-use, but there are still people using 10-year-old iPads.
It's a replacement for your source-of-truth, not your database(s). Although you're right about the article not explicitly mentioning slurping the events back into a DB. I suspect the reason is that there are plenty of articles which explain how to event-source from greenfield, but this is the first one I've seen which focuses on existing brownfield relational data - see the title.

> makes claims about saving storage space

I don't think that was the right reading about saving storage space:

I think it's his strawman RDBMS developer who optimised for saving storage space, and lost business data as a result. The suggested approach is:

> We can optimise for information quality instead of its size.
If, in a volume of space, there are N exoplanets and 100 spontaneously created life, then I’d crudely estimate the probability of life at 100/N for a given exoplanet.

Currently, we have only an upper limit on the probability and barely even that. All observations are consistent with a probability less that 10^-40, meaning it certainly wouldn’t happen a second time in the observable universe.
I didn't say carbs meant nutritional value. However when a product containing mostly carbs is said to have half the nutritional value it used to hand, one might reasonably assume that the components of its nutritional makeup had reduced in proportion. The headline is clickbait. What they meant was that some of the micronutrients were there in a lower proportion. That is a very different story
