Calling it a pollutant misunderstands its natural role and it's importance. Planets transform CO2 into oxygen that you breathe. Acting like it is a pollutant that needs to be removed when all plant and animal life depends on it is foolish.
It's so crazy, never thought about this before
Minimum wage is $11/h, but that is too high. Time to hire some undocumented immigrants for $35/12h. Toss in some "nobody wants to work anymore" and complaining that regulations are what is ruining the economy, and they'd sound exactly like many Americans.
What’s behind this beef?
I'm not even that old and I remember smoking and non-smoking sections in restaurants. You could still smoke in bars when I was in college.
Ding Ding. With the added story Levitt told on Jon Hartley's podcast about the extremes Heckman went to, to disparage Levitt - translated into the terse Economist house style (which doesn't do justice to the utter toxicity of Chicago Economics...).
You sacrifice things - video games, TV, doomscrolling. There just isn't enough time to do all that and write. That's what most would-be writers are unwilling to give up.
What I wanted (from Freakonomics) was to peer through "the hidden side of everything"... What I needed was the serenity to accept that causality is too damn hard.

I appreciated the attempts by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner to communicate with layman non-economists like me. I think The Economist article was, as always, too harsh and nitpicky. I think Freakonomics holds a special place in the "intellectual" and "rationalists" community. I cannot verify the flaws in techniques and conclusion as stated in this article but I would still recommend reading Freakonomics first over the dry economics textbooks or MIT OCW courseware.
We were funding them before, but now we are not, and I believe the op of this thread was commenting on how we are not funding then right now.

By the time the election season is over and we have another chance at funding
Ukraine, it will have been a year of blocked funding. Personally I find it fundamentally unserious that a participant in a war leaves for a year or more, let alone the world's top superpower.
> I understand someone having the viewpoint of America first, look after home first and don't get involved in foreign wars. He however, seems to go way beyond this.

It's interesting how often this happens. People start from a reasonable premise and then slowly but surely move to an extreme version.

I sometimes think the only way to avoid this kind of derangement is to maintain an attitude of ironic detachment towards politics/current events. Almost everyone I know who deviates from that -- including smart, good people -- is a little bit crazy.
> I have never heard or read his words showing empathy, even for the terror attacks in Israel and he is Jewish.

He is supposedly big fan of Kissinger and Kissinger worked for Nixon who was famously a huge antisemite and also cemented the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by intentionally torpedoing the deal that was on the table. All while being holocaust refugee.
This year 18/28 European NATO members will hit the 2% target. They will have to hit 3% or so even if Ukraine holds Russia off [0]. If the tanks roll to Polish and Baltic states borders it will be much more expensive.

Imagine buying the house then discovering you’ve inherited the sysadmin.
The email type seems just a smidge too specialized for me. It could more broadly be an "authority" type (borrowing URI/URN terminology) a la:

authority = [userinfo "@"] host [":" port]

The simple extension of allowing a port makes it a more broadly useful type, since authorities like above appear all over the place. Email is just one protocol after all.

There is also a url type, but it is unclear how general it is (just http/s?). There is a cpath type which corresponds to the path in a URI as well.

URI = scheme ":" ["//" authority] path ["?" query] ["#" fragment]

In Rye typing, authority _could_ be the authority described above, and cpath already covers path. The rest are strings as they don't have generically defined syntax.

Perhaps this is a bit of a quibble but it seems to me like if URIs and their structured components (cpath is already there, and email is so close!) were core types rather than just email and url, it opens up a lot of use cases.
On an individual basis, I would think so. I don't know of any requirement to be hooked up to the grid.

Could maybe even stretch it to condo buildings if everyone is on the same wavelength. Whole neighborhoods is probably too much of a push, though.
Can’t remember where I heard it but “people who desire public office should be utterly barred from it”.

Very few are able to escape their own prejudices, viewpoints and succeed in the office. Extremely difficult to make a positive difference for everyone. So many recent examples.
Tipped minimum wage requires a person to receive enough in tips to match the non-tipped minimum wage. If there aren't sufficient tips for that, the employer has to make up the difference. The only question is if Arkansas has its own version of that to require matching the Arkansas minimum wage ($11) instead of just the federal minimum wage ($7.25).
“A recent study by economists at the Federal Reserve found that less than half of the published papers they examined could be replicated, even when given help from the original authors. Mr Levitt’s counterintuitive results have fallen out of fashion and economists in general have become more sceptical.”

Didn’t realize replication was so bad in Econ too.
There are a lot of people in the west that are aligned with the Kremlin talking points. It's sort of a continuation of the post-truth society we live in. It's like people that think Biden isn't president or some other random stuff. Social media and traditional media letting people create their own reality. Reminds me of visiting the US circa 2018 IIRC and flipping my TV between CNN and Fox News.

Interesting enough wasn't it President Obama who started reducing the US involvement and taking more of a home first policy vs. the previous Republicans that viewed the US as the World's Policeman? IMO leaving both the US and the world in a much worse situation. The attacks against Obama also paved the roads to some of the techniques we see used today across the board. I don't know if this is just my impression but it seemed that was an inflection point, along with many other factors, in creating what are essentially fake realities for different people.
Yes, I noticed that recently when writing a unit test with with randomly created IP addresses. A significant part where deemed as non-routable by the code under test, so I had to limit the first octet < 224.

But is that huge allocation really extensively used in real life? How?

Or could a significant part just be reallocated for new unicast usage?
What does DEI mean?
In the 80's the global population was roughly 4B and half of these (2B) were in extreme poverty.

Today we have almost double the global population and less than 1B in extreme poverty.

Given that the biggest chunk of the emissions in the last 30 years came from nonOECD countries I don't see what the alternative was.

Force the poor countries to starve to death and not use cheap fossils to feed their people?
Everyone has pointed out the scale but there are two other reasons why is different.

First, burning wood is carbon neutral. The tree pulled it from the air and burning returns to the air.

Second, there are natural processes that absorb carbon and keep system in a balance. Trees are one, plankton is another, and longer term is rock weathering. Even if the ancestor were using coal, the absorption processes could keep up with the small amount.

I did something similar with all my kids movies. I just ripped their dvds because they were destroying them every few months and I probably bought Madagascar three times before ripping it.

The UX is better than any streaming service.

Fortunately I had a synology nas already as a backup server so I just installed Plex on it and it was so easy. This was probably 15 years ago and I still have all those video files and the dvds are in a box somewhere untouched.
The public or college library could really come in handy.

In the US, the USDA publishes a “Hardiness Zone map”, used by citizens to identify plants and trees that will do well in their location. Since the nineties, they’ve had to make changes to the map as areas of the US warm, as it has a material impact on level of success a given planting might have. They changed the zone just south of mine in 2023 actually. In my zone (a northern/colder climate) there are plants and vegetables that, thirty years ago, would have had difficulty growing or yielded crap in a growing season. Anecdotally, last summer, hot peppers did amazingly in my parents garden.

This is imo an example of a change with an economic impact that might drive “a migration” (which brings to mind something drastic/ immediate, but this isn’t). There are counterpoints to this specific example (hydroponics for example) but it’s hard to argue the basic premises that climates are deviating from the established norms we’ve built into our society, and that this change will move humans around, either seeking a newly available resource or fleeing the new absence of one. Or fleeing a net-new resource, like sea water.

That all being said, your argument is imo valid; how many times can I yell that your sky is falling before you start treating me like a quack ? :) Who knows what will happen, and for how much longer we will *have to* quack, or *have* to quack. (That last one was nonserious, I couldn’t help the play on words)
One of the biggest reasons monopolists are a problem is that they can exploitatively price and charge as much as possible from each customer, minimizing the consumer surplus.

Tim O'Reilly, of the famous publishers, interviewed and later befriended Herbert while writing his 1981 book on the author, Frank Herbert. It covers a lot of the themes of the linked essay in an effort to explore the origin and meaning of the Dune trilogy, as it was then.

The book is freely available on oreilly.com[1] and likely worth a look for anyone interested in TFA.

For example, O'Reilly claims "in writing about the mystique of the superhero, Herbert himself was prey to it" quoting Analog editor John Campbell's rejection letter for Dune Messiah: "science-fictioneers [...] want heroes—not anti-heroes. They want stories of strong men who exert themselves, inspire others, and make a monkey's uncle out of malign fates! As Paul did in Dune —not as he fails completely to do in The Messiah"

Campbell misses the point, O'Reilly says, " that Herbert deliberately looked for this reaction from his readers. To Herbert, the hero mystique is symptomatic of a deadly pathology in contemporary society, a compulsive yearning for easy answers. As long as men are looking for simple solutions to their problems, they will give over their ability to think for themselves to the first person who comes along and promises a solution. The Dune trilogy is an attempt to unveil that pattern and, in some small part, to change it."[2]

Great first episode from a great series of podcasts. Have to say though that although it's usually totally justified, the relentless cynicism Mike and Peter employ when dispatching these books unfortunately begins to grate after a while. I still fully recommend listening until that happens though.
Perhaps he has really long term vision. According to National Geographic, if the polar ice caps melt completely, Pine Bluff will benefit immensely by being waterfront property on the now larger Gulf of Mexico.

Cheap NVME drives.

And to be fair, 2 of 3 were only suspicious for having a hardware problem so I replaced with a larger drive (and was super nice to have such a straightforward was to expand the size as compared to ZFS).
It compares mortality so
I mean, it was what everyone had agreed upon previously. Microsoft was the only party to follow through. For all the guff they get for not following standards, it was the one standard they did.

You don't have to love a company to acknowledge they did something right.
Plus Mars' atmosphere has tons of CO2. Think of the carbon credits!
That would be cool but I suspect a legal nightmare.

It's one thing to have a personal collection of movies that you painstakingly ripped on your own, but if you were to try and sell a machine that automatically circumvented DRM, I cannot imagine that I wouldn't get sued and/or arrested by multiple entities.

This of course, makes me sad, because it would be nice to have a system that wasn't just a nerdy custom setup.
Buying a house for himself makes sense, but it's still not related to the business, and the other 73 are just dead weight.

Citation needed. The paper specifically says:

Huh. The syntax diagram in the documentation[1] suggests this is possible, but the documentation on foreign keys[2] does not mention that syntax, or how it's interpreted.

I think I can fix this.

They seem to compare absolute numbers of cancer without mentioning the fact that the world population grew 50% since 1990.

For octets closer to the center of their highest order square it was quite easy by just trial and error. But for octets at the edge of their square like e.g. 149 I admit having used pen and paper...
It's too bad we have no evidence of products from different companies working together. I can't imagine how we would get, say, software from one company to work on hardware from another. Or a device from one manufacturer to communicate with one from another through some kind of standardized protocol.
That is true, but by the time we figure out the right attribution between all of these, we'd be toast.
So this map (Trimming the Herbs) wasn't the last to be cleared, and they have all been cleared now?
If people were able to do that we wouldn't have e.g. stock market bubbles. The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent is basically a statement about human nature. Irrational at best of times. Now isn't exactly the best of times, we've been pounded by Covid, the economy, climate, wars. Politics seeks to leverage this irrationality to gain power. Kind of depressing on all fronts.
Even with a microcontroller, doing frame-perfect inputs is tricky because you don't have anything to sync off of - even tapping into the vsync signal from the video output is an imperfect reference because there's no guarantee that the game engine is actually synced with it (although I have no knowledge of SMM, maybe it does work better than I expect)
No, it doesn’t fund full time because the advance isn’t paid all in advance! It’s often paid in thirds or even fourths at the this point, with the final payment not occurring until well after the book is published. So like one third on acceptance, one third on editing being done, one third once the book hit shelves. Or one fourth on acceptance, one fourth on editing, one fourth on hard copies being out, one fourth on a soft copy being out. Even with a six figure advance, you are not getting 100k that year, maybe 33-66k depending on how slow your editor is, and of course your agent takes a bite out of that, and you pay a high tax on it too.
Temperamentally, we are nomadic animals. While we were still in our Stone Age we spread out to pretty much everywhere across Earth (some isolated islands excepted). Not many, maybe any, other land animals did that. So when we see a far-away land, of _course_ we want to go there!
I listened to a few episodes of this podcast, I don't think they are necessarily fair with each book they discuss. There are, however, many problems with Freakonomics drawing conclusions that aren't justified. They quite rightly point a few out.

I wouldn't say the hosts' ideology is "DEI", whatever you mean by that.
Depends on which part of econ. Micro and econometrics fare pretty well (there was even an econ pseudo-Nobel awarded to Vernon Smith for figuring out how to do reproducible experiments in micro), but macro is the darkest of swamps.

It wasn't obvious to me until I read God-Emperor. God-Emperor is the key to understanding exactly what Dune is about. These days when I re-read all six books (as I do maybe every five years or so), the original trilogy just ends up feeling like prequels.
There is a cool 3D visualization of the game where each previous timeframe is layered sequentially below like roots growing and animated from an isometric perspective. It looks super cool --- nothing fractal like this, but definitely a shared art meets science vibe.

Yes they do, please see https://shewon.org for a long list of examples.
It also could be because people masked up all the time and stayed home for long periods of time. New viruses came out and they were never exposed to it.

Now, many are getting exposed to lots of new viruses all at the same time now that covid is over and the symptoms are much worse.
My plan is to make backup copies of the DVDs whole, so I have all of the features and extras, and am certain that I can verify that they are the exact blu-rays that other people have. We don't exactly have a list of hashes of the entire contents of the discs, but the volume keys will decrypt the data, and there's checksums on that, so we should be able to verify all the way down the chain.

I dont think thats correct. Any change on a lower level will effect the greater cell.

Each cells behavior is the composition of all its lower cells after all.

Im sure there are various compositions that lead to the same outcome, so it should be possible for each cell to be something else, but most changes would change the greater cell. For an easy example image a cell turned from on to off at 2x slower than normal.

Um, mortality ... basically didn't change?

This diagram: https://bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/bmjonc/2/1/e000049/F1.la...

Shows about 800K deaths in 1990 vs 1M deaths in 2019. That's 25% at best--or less when adjusted for population growth.

And the proportions stayed roughly the same.

That would strongly suggest that the increase is mostly detection.
