This makes it easier for them, not harder. Renewable generation is more competitive against an unbuilt coal-fired power plant than an existing one that has already paid off its construction costs and only has to pay for operating expenses.

> China's people must have a lower quality of life (with the attendant health/educational outcomes etc.), until renewable energy catches up

You have two premises here which are both incorrect. The first is that renewable technology has to "catch up", but it's already cost-competitive with coal. The second is that renewable technology is the only alternative to coal, but nuclear is a mature technology when you need to supply base load. It's not like you have to wait for fusion, just don't use coal.

> Anyway, to counter China could do an Elon Musk and say they is doing more for the environment than any other country by manufacturing so much cheap solar panels (which go to sunny places like North Africa, Australia, US)

Which they're subsidizing to assist their domestic industry in controlling the market. Otherwise why are they exporting them rather than using them in place of coal, in a country closer to the equator than the continental US?

> There's no excuse in starting a whole space industry that's increasing emissions via inarguably carbon-positive fuel in this warming climate

The Falcon 9 produces 300 tons of CO2 per launch and there were 60 launches in 2022, totaling 18,000 tons. In the same year China emitted 11.4 billion metric tons of CO2. One of these doesn't even rise to the level of a rounding error, the other is a huge problem.

There is research out there that shows use of white space can improve things like reading speed and comprehension.

I think it really depends on individuals though. If you can memorise a dense screen of buttons you'll be able to work faster, avoid scrolling etc. But it'll make the UI harder to use for people who don't use it regularly.

Ultimately, every UI has to strike a balance. If you do it right you'll piss off both sides equally.
Everything user specific. Nothing should operate across users. Why should it anyway. You only need to aggregate logs across users, cloud watch does this.

Or option 4, which is the Federal Reserve buying government debt with printed money. This raises the price of government bonds, which is the same as reducing interest rates, helping make the debt service more affordable. Also, when the Federal Reserve buys these bonds, the Federal Reserve collects the interest payments on the bonds, which they then give to the Treasury, further making the budget more balanced.

This also has the effect of creating inflation, potentially a lot of it, but in my opinion it's one of the more likely medium-term scenarios simply because Congress doesn't have to agree on anything in order for it to be implemented.
Unfortunately, these things can be extremely subtle. Far too often it boils down to sampling bias where the differences are actually differences in the variance estimation that results in a significant result. For example suppose that "male" dice are biased to role a 5 slightly more often than "female" dice. You will find a statistically significant difference related to the 5-side of the dice if you roll them enough. It doesn't mean that rolling a 5 indicates anything about the "gender" of a particular dice.
I was wondering if degradation of the glue might too. Also, presumably this only works on solid surfaces - i.e. things that flex (clothes? ...glass?) might not work as the pattern might change over short/long periods of time too.
You packed a lot of confusion in there.

1. There is no infinitive in either phrase, though it is true that "writing" is a non-finite form. As you note, it is a gerund.

2. While you are correct to say that a gerund is a noun, you're wrong to say that it isn't a verb. You can clearly see that it retains the complements of the verb. A gerund is a verb cast into the syntactic form of a noun just as a participle is a verb cast into the syntactic form of an adjective.

3. A transitive verb is one that takes a direct object. An intransitive verb is any other verb.

4. "Them" is a direct object of "write" in "writing them", but an indirect object, marked by the preposition to, in "writing to them".

5. Just to be really clear, it is only possible to supply a direct object to the gerund "writing" because it is a verb that (in British usage) takes a direct object. There is no such concept as the object of a noun.
A car changing lanes does indeed remove stopping distance. But thats also something human drivers are naturally more capable of understanding than waymo. It shouldn't have mattered where a vehicle is on the road. Any human is able to predict if a weirdly loaded vehicle making a turn has a chance of invading their lane and/or stopping distance. Its a complex problem for sure but that also shows that you need absolute proof that the software is able to generalise the problem. Especially if you want self driving cars to respect flow of traffic over stopping distance.

Even if your software is as good as it can be, I doubt you'll be able to get them to recognise how to resolve deadlocks. Which would also involve severe hindrance to emergency vehicles.

> you had two candidates who interviewed otherwise equally in every regard

That's different from the original quote, which was simply:

> If there are two candidates — one with a degree, one without, “to many hiring managers, it will feel risky,” he said.

But your question is interesting. Have you considered that if it's possible for a dropout to performally equally to a degree holder in every perceivable respect, it raises doubts about the value of a degree?

Suppose that you had two candidates who interviewed otherwise equally in every regard and also both had degrees, indeed from the same institution. Then how would you choose? By height? Age? Gender? Physical attractiveness?

There is no point in investing extra millions for let's say anti electron microscope measures for example.

Those Fly.io p99 latencies are atrocious. 2.6s P99 compared to CloudFlare 1.0s. Neither one seems particularly great at first glance, but the CloudFlare worker latency does seem on par with Lambda from previous experience (I have not tested Lambda@Edge or CloudFront Functions).
Do you have a reference for that? I might be looking in different places, but my reading suggests that loop rotation is where a conditional is moved to the end to avoid an unconditional branch, sometimes by the compiler. "Sheep race" with it's wasted computation is a little different - it's not a transformation it would be legal for a compiler to make, and possibly doesn't have enough use cases to really have its own well known name.

Oddly enough, I've noticed that the compiler generated code will sometimes not do loop rotation, and and will have a conditional branch in the middle and unconditional at the end. I suspect this is because (a) unconditional branches are often effectively free on modern processors (if all the instructions are cached appropriately), and (b) there are all sorts of subtle instruction layout and ordering that a good compiler does to make things map efficiently to the underlying microarchitecture that means that non-intuitive orderings sometimes have a better cost function.

I did find out that what I called "interleaving" is more properly called "software pipelining".
Once upon a time in new york, people built bleechers on their roofs to watch baseball games. Neighbors would potluck or sell home cooked food. There was enough housing for everyone, because they had very loose regulations.

If you really want to turn this into a multiday thread, then we can start with the different theorems of value; you will come to see how even theory proves it is a terrible idea to have government trying to manage for profit endeavors. But, if you just want the magic fix to the housing shortage, you should just run with deregulation.
Good question, but I honestly have no idea. Relooking at the sentence, I think a semicolon would probably be the most grammatical. There must be an online version of the Guide to search. Or actually, maybe ChatGPT would know.
And the fact is that you don't even need to listen to that many music. When I had Spotify, I only have an handful of playlists (managing albums sucked), that I listened to every day. Same with Apple Music, I only added the albums I already have in the library. I have like 500+ albums and when I want to add something, I spend time listening on Youtube (could go back to free spotify) if it's worth the effort to get them in my curated local library.
I might be wrong, but the wording of that question suggests it was only answered by people who consider themselves part of an underrepresented or marginalized group. So only a subset of the survey's responders answered.

This is also supported by the fact that the question was only completed by 1322 responders, which is about 10% of total responders.

> Since the National Coal Board was running the mine, I wouldn't have expected capitalists to be to blame, and the Labour party were in power at the time of the disaster.

Look at what people and organisations do and not what they call themselves;

Coal reserves were nationalised during the war in 1942 and placed under the control of the Coal Commission, but the mining industry remained in private hands.

So UK centralised control of divying up resources, mine owners running the operations (and the usual UK historic overlap between capitalists and Peers with seats in the house of Lords, etc.)

Straight out of the gate, the NCB was headed up by Lord Hyndley [1] as chairman (director of the Bank of England between 1931-1945, managing director of Powell Duffryn Ltd, collieries, 1931-1946).

NCB actions in the early days were to maximise returns using public funds for improvements that benefitted private owners with little improvement in safety or working conditons:

the NCB spent more than £550 million on major improvements and new sinkings, much of it to mechanise the coal-getting process underground and by 1957 Britain's collieries were producing cheaper coal than anywhere in Europe.

The next chairman was nominally a socialist, trade unionists, man of the people etc. but that rapidly proved to be on paper and for show - born from merchants and placed as an official in the Allied Workers union more as a representative of shopkeepers than shopworkers, he proved to be the ideal paper tiger to head the NCB

Alfred Robens, later elevated to Baron Robens of Woldingham, loved the trappings of power and oversaw policy implementations that originated from mine owners and government policy before his tenure; substantial cuts in the mining industry and neglect of spoil heaps, things that lead directly to the Aberfan disaster.

And that was the the first two tenures of the NCB - nominally running coal for "the benefit of the people", actually running coal to maximise throughput and profits for owners.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Hindley,_1st_Viscount_Hyn...

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Robens,_Baron_Robens_of...

Those responsible, then, include all the mine owners with a footprint in the House of Lords, all the various enablers on the committees that set policy for the NCB ala Yes, Minister, the founding chairman, and the second chairman who was parachuted with gifts into an established front.

I was wondering this too. Some transgender people say transition is valid because brain scans show they have a brain of their identified gender.

I’m not sure what’s customary in most places, but in my experience you base most things off of avg and p99 and then you can use other percentiles to interpolate the shape of the distribution in the event you need a better model (you usually don’t). Of course I’m sure this sort of thing varies wildly by use case.
It shouldn't even be as hard as it appears. If the business logic is designed as a generic library made to be portable to different platforms then you can call into it from a native application built using whatever the native UI toolkits and conventions for that platform are.

Libtorrent is a shining example of this architecture. It runs everywhere, even on mobile platforms. Rust being more popular with makes this even more accessible than it used to be. There's even libraries like PyO3 to make writing bindings to other languages easier.
Cool that they've at least got something out of that NOLED device.
At that point you're effectively delegating KYC through Visa/Mastercard who will run KYC processes. It also ignores scenarios where multiple things are stolen at once (eg malware, cons, etc).

I see that I combined part time and fintech inappropriately, thanks for clarifying.

“ I have two paths in front of me: get a new job and continue being a part-time entrepreneur (I know the shortcomings of part-time entrepreneurship all too well) or I can go full-time and bet on one horse and hold on as long as I can and hope that my startup will succeed in the meantime.”

if you’re committed to entrepreneurship, there are not two options. Only 1. Go for it

Bootstrapping a business starts small though, as others have mentioned.

There is no part time, or half in. You’re in if you want it and you pound the pavement every single day.

This is comparable to trying to determine sex based on secondary sex characteristics.

Sex is binary, based on gametes which are binary. Anything with a bimodal distribution will by necessity never be the right tool for determining something which is truly binary.

The next best determinant of sex other than gametes is the presence or absence of the SRY gene.
