> how much as South Korean society managed to advance in the 50 years compared to “happy America?”

It's apples and oranges. Compared to the U.S., how much did western Europe and Japan advance in the half-century preceding 2000, relative to where they started in 1945?
I can’t speak to this case, but generally low wage workers are paycheck to paycheck and so get jobs while they wait for the system to do their thing. They only get paid for loss of income, so it actually subtracts what they earned in that time and so by working in the meantime the damages paid are much smaller. There are no punitive damages or anything.

As it happens, there's a PyMC implementation of the 1st and 2nd editions of Statistical Rethinking here:

(I think the author of the book discussed above, Osvaldo Martin, is the primary or sole contributor for the Rethinking implementations, in fact -- he had a full implementation in his own repo (https://github.com/aloctavodia/Statistical-Rethinking-with-P...) before deprecating it in favor of the above-linked one.)
> those are “unavoidable”

This myth has been reviewed by economists over and over. You can always economize and it naturally occurs on both the demand and supply side. I'm not saying these outcomes are good, but people WILL do them.

Housing demand: live in a smaller place, live with more people, live further away than you want to, live in a van

Housing supply: rent out your extra room, try to build a rental (collect sweet premium)

College demand: community college + transfer, alternative education, maximize credits/minimize time

College supply: offer online degrees, price discriminate (financial aid) ,make cheaper offerings (undergrad only universities, etc).

Health Demand: don't go to the doctor, follow insurance incentives (urgent care vs ER), seek alternative treatment (chiropractors, neighbors, etc).

Health supply: maximize services can be performed by less trained workers (nurse practitioner vs MD, Offer lower end services (Telehealth, etc).

> "unavoidable"

When you see how many choices you have this starts to sound like "I have become accustomed to my quality of life, and I am unwilling to accept economic reality and consider alternatives." This is a natural response to declining standards of living.
Sounds like it's more of a campaign than an actual ban.

Taking photos at work is almost always a bad idea. I do it for stuff like recording how a bunch of cables are connected to a server so I can put them back, but anything that includes identifiable locations, brand names, and employees is potential trouble.
Agreed - that book is phenomenal at communicating the theory and mindset of Bayesian analysis. My favorite quote from the lectures - "Statistics should be subbordinate to Science." A very healthy emphasis on logic and proper model design - there will be no shoving data into black boxes!

R is a good language for this but he uses a library of convenience functions that are not on CRAN and are effectively just for educational purposes. So even if you want to stick with R, you'll need to translate your code into production-ready libraries anyway. There are several nearly-complete translations based on other R packages as well as ported to Julia and Python.
What I saw way too often is that a project will use a dependency only for one tiny function. That's how we get a calendar app with 2.5GB node_modules.
It sounds like you need to pay $15K.

Can't be that old. I had bed bugs in 2012 I believe. I bought some of the recommended insecticide and sprayed a small perimeter and released a couple that I had captured into the middle. They then crawled outward and I was shocked how quickly after they crossed the perimeter they died.

And worst than that, I wonder about the quality of the books for the other 54%. Reading a book by itself is not a virtue.
I often recall the Robin Williams quote:

>“I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.”

I consider myself funny and am always joking around. However, I never felt such strong association with comedians until after both of my parents passed in difficult fashions. I felt such a strong need to be funny, like it was my only good personality trait. I eventually took a standup class. I enjoyed getting on stage and working up to my 5 min set. I still write jokes and go to open mics every now and then.

The two takeaways I have are:

* the practice of writing everyday was key. Having to articulate what was actually upsetting me—instead of just saying "I hate this or that"—to find what was funny or absurd about it really helped me release a lot of the pent up anger.

* like the quote, making other people laugh was/is so rewarding both for my own self-esteem and for knowing that I brought a little joy to others
That's interesting, I hadn't yet seen any heat pumps capable of producing water that hot.

As far as replacing baseboard goes, if you're going to go to that expense, then probably it's just best to switch to forced air since you also get AC.

But you'd be looking at probably close to $40K to entirely replace a forced hot water system with a heat pump and forced air (and/or replacing baseboards) as well as a DHW system of some sort -- so quite cost prohibitive.

I once awoke to see a large spider running away from me on my bed. I was a bit displeased with that until I learned that they hunt roaches. I figured if it was running away from me, then it figured (perhaps incorrectly) that I was not to be messed with and so the food chain in my house remained as it should be.
None of what you listed will ever happen, so why bother thinking about it? Just accept that the U.S. is not democratic and never will be. That’s not even really pessimistic; plenty of people live happy, fulfilling lives under undemocratic regimes
Toxic workplace then. HR are people too.
As an ex scientist, I think basic algorithms theory should be incorporated into scientific computing classes. I took a few of these but none of the concepts from this area was covered. I remember well discovering some code of mine was slowing down with system size and finally realizing it was because “append” was creating a new array each step… had no clue that would happen. Was enthralled by the online algorithms course when I finally discovered it - hash tables!!!

Jobs in the EU have notice periods for both the employer and the employee. Typically the employer's notice period is longer.

[1] shows it is 3 months (for either side) after working for three years, but this can be reduced by mutual agreement. We'll need someone from Poland to say how likely that would be agreed for a warehouse worker.

I don't disagree with you, I've argued against the usage DI frameworks plenty of times on projects I was working on. Many are not well made, are overly complicated and do much more than one single thing.

Especially in Go, where you don't have destructors to help with shutdown, having common structure in place to help tear down components has always been a net benefit for me.

They provide constant demand in low consumption periods which makes it possible to have a stronger grid when indeed there is a spike in demand due to external conditions like a heat or cold waves... something which will keep happening more and more (and more extremely) if you listen to climate scientists.

The keywords are scaling and stability, if you prefer to piss this money away on building plants that will work at 50% capacity for years you essentially pay for the rest of the capacity with no other utility, that's bad governance.
46% didn’t read a book, or didn’t finish a book? There’s a distinction between the two, and I’m in the latter. Have several unfinished at the moment.

You cannot have housing be affordable and an investment. You need to decouple the two.

Fundamentally these are in disagreement. If you believe that landlords should control the world then keep believing this idea that housing should also be an investment.

I don’t think housing should be an investment. It is impossible for something to be a good investment and affordable. They go against one another.

> the preface claims that “You don’t need to know calculus or linear algebra. You don’t need any prior knowledge of statistics”.

Downey makes this statement because his premise is that if you know Python, you can use that knowledge to learn the concepts without the pure math approach.

For example, he will do iteration to calculate integrals rather than teaching integration. And he will plot statistical distributions using a Python library to explore and teach the statistical concepts.

He also has a book called “Think Statistics” that is excellent in this regard.

No I mean more like this doesn't seem to work as well as you expected. It only sort of masks one of the symptoms.

We absolutely should ask if the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, and only use it in cases where it does. Not every new thing is good, in fact most new things are crap. New only seemed to equal better when people were more careful and only adopted the new things that were better. It isn't given in any way. You do need that bit of neophobia to get real progress instead of confused wandering around.

> Workers rights have never been won without a militant organized labor force.

Just in the past few years, many companies have started giving generous paternal/maternal leave policies. Which militant organization brought that change about? Or would you not consider that to be workers rights? If the latter, can you give me some examples of what you consider to be workers rights so we can be on the same page?
If he is productively working, then he needs to balance work and his RL responsibilities. His review on this device does not have higher importance than his baby, and the way he worded it is misogynistic (but like I said some men like to sound like tough boy when it comes to this, overstating their power in family while in reality he may get pussy whipped over something like this).

You are correct! Around here (NH) the artesian nomenclature usually means drilled vs a dug well (i.e. a covered, but relatively shallow pit that fills up with ground water). The drilled wells are usually around 300+ ft deep and have a submersible pump near the bottom that is used to fill the pressure tank.

I don't want this to come across as insulting, but this message sounds more like someone trying to sell me something than an objective scientist. You can just say no, there is no link (intuitive or not) between geometric algebra and Banach-Tarski.

To answer some of the other points

1. No physicist is particuarly confused by Euler angles, and gimbal lock is not a problem in physics.

2. I'm not sure I agree that physics even uses computable reals or rationals. I would say in reality we use fuzzy confidence intervals mostly and not exact numbers.

3. Maxwell's equations look different when written in geometric algebra style, you get one neat looking equation rather than the traditional 4, but its just a difference of notation, the same stuff is happening just written in a slightly different way.

4. A tensor can represent a spinor if you let it transform under the correct transformation rule. A basic spinor just looks like (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirac_spinor) a complex vector which you let the Clifford algebra act on.

More generally everything I've seen from Geometric Algebra enthusiasts is just a weird way of doing fairly standard stuff in special cases of Clifford algebras in slightly weird old-fashioned notation. Pretty much everyone I've seen doing real work just does stuff in the Clifford algebra.

They did that in China and housing prices are still sky high. As long as "number go up" is the belief in housing you'll have speculators and empty housing. Now you could tax empty (non-rented dwellings without a declared tax residence) and that would lower prices and increase supply.

This is a new different goalpost, right? The survey was about how clear the rule is, about whether the rule can be understood, not whether people will read or follow it.

Btw I feel like I didn’t propose a screed of small-print legalese. I’m asking why the actual survey couldn’t say ‘no motor vehicles in the park, up to 400ft AGL’, and compare the results to ‘no vehicles in the park’. That statement without any legalese or fine print would have covered most of the tricky answers, and this whole survey could have been used to show how easy it is to make progress with relatively simple refinements.

This is not a good analogy. When you are sick, you need to get treatment, you're time constrained and usually space constrained too (you wouldn't travel 3 states out if you need an urgent procedure).

With housing it's more flexible: you can commute longer each day. You can just not move to a city where you know the "salary/cost of living" is not working in your favor. You can also time these decisions: go to NYC when you are in your 20s, live with some roommates to get some savings and then when you get older you can move to a more spacious city. You can be flexible about the space you need too: from 1 bedroom in a shared apartment, to a 3 beds detached house in a quiet suburb in another city, there is a lot of flexibility.

In a city there is a constraint on how much you can build, and everybody wants to be there. You can let the free market set the price, or you can try to distort the market with rent controls and then you end up with black markets, illegal payments, people holding on to their apartment for way longer they would normally do etc. Why would a 1 person ever move out of a large apartment if they have a low rent? They don't care that the same apartment would be a god-send for a family of 4...
Investors are speculators. Fundamentally, they should not be cared about. We should be considering the lives of everyday people and labor.

Just cause some capitalist lost a few dollars doesn’t mean anything. Capitalists don’t do any labor - that’s the whole point of why they invest in things. They put money in places hoping that they’ll get more out of it without having done anything. But it’s a risk - and the government shouldn’t be backing risk taking speculators who gamble with their money. It should be backing laborers!

But it doesn’t. Government is controlled by capitalists because capitalists have the discretionary money (thanks to stealing it from laborers) to keep lobbying to keep status quo.
