The analysis is interesting, but why the alternative of using bricks instead of stone or concrete is not studied at all?

Seems even more efficient to mould clay than to carve stones, even it becomes fully automated.
It goes even further back to the days of late 19th/early 20th century and artistic communes. The first time someone monetised it on a large scale was Bernays who repackaged Freud's psychoanalysis and sold it to US government and companies. His "torches of freedom" campaign tapped into the women's right movement and desire for self-expression. The tobacco industry was very pleased with the outcomes, because until then women did not smoke cigarettes. Bernays also wrote "Engineering Consent" and "Propaganda", which he renamed as Public Relations after WWII. Curtis has an interesting documentary on the subject.
I’m in Aberdeen for the weekend. Saw nothing whatsoever.
As Wikipedia puts it, the

> number derivative is a function defined for integers, based on prime factorization, by analogy with the product rule for the derivative of a function that is used in mathematical analysis.
I heard CW on 144.2MHz with auroral flutter meaning (if I understand correctly) it propagated through or off the aurora.

Isn't the whole advantage that you could get much closer to the center of mass of the black hole compared to a planet, thus gaining much more kinetic energy per unit thrust, but also risking higher tidal forces?
Yeh the link is good, and I think the article is good too, discussing some limitations / gotchas / cons. Gives me the impression maybe a more useful definition could be crafted, but also that this D function could be unexplored and yield some cool stuff :) haha!

Modernizing Schedule A to Include Occupations in Stem and Non-Stem Occupations
Lets take those one at a time. So Twitter he fired a bunch of people and it works better than ever with more innovation. He called a guy a pedo who may be one and was talking smack way before Elon was. Maybe he misattributed some failure to someone? Okay, who hasn't done that? You say he went easy on Tesla safety.. with the cars with the best safety ratings of any car that exists.. still not getting it. You are mad he wants to save civilization also, okay... and that is bad again why? Because he is actually doing it by popularizing electric cars that can run on sustainable energy, or by giving internet to those who don't have it and could never have had it before? And supposedly you say he doesn't value human life, according to who? Why do you care how many children another person has, He has the money to have 10000 children and treat them all better than most millionaire children. Your question of "How is that ethical?" How is it not? You gave literally no reasons that don't scream an emotional attachent to hating him.
It varries significantly depending where you are. Both could be true for different people viewing them from different places.
>> 8 pounds per gallon

> It never occurred to me that people needed this spelled out, but I guess it's simpler in most of the world where 1L = 1kg.

It's easy in gallons and pounds, too, if the correct gallon is used: 10 pounds per imperial gallon of water, by definition.
Sure, because none of the planets are anywhere near close enough to the sun to experience tidal forces. But if you were to approach the sun VS a sun-mass black hole, at some distance the difference would become noticeable through tidal forces (ignoring the massive difference in emitted radiation, of course).

Linear scales usually don't have an intuitive upper limit that people can understand ("is 10000 bad?").

Citizen-facing scales should optimally go from 0 (no concern) to 10 (either world-shattering event or highest value ever observed). Due to the nature of how many natural disasters scale in impact on humans, this will often result in an logarithmic scale.
As noted below, Century Of The Self would probably be the best starting point:

Because it obeys a similar rule to derivatives on functions. The pattern of taking a concept and extending it to other things by looking only at what happens under one rule, is extremely common in mathematics. That way you can e.g. extend the definition of a derivative to non-continous functions.

Pottery plus blinkenlights.

3D printer and CNC are sort of too specific ... at that age, for most projects, cardboard prototypes are better (cheaper, faster, more rewarding, more parallel). Pottery is even better though because it becomes a permanent piece and lets you do painting as well.

In later school maybe basic robotics works with a pi... lesson by lesson skill building like "synth speech", "parse speech", "sensor data acquisition", "internet query", "database 101", whatever...

It was an assumption that you will choose the more value for your money, even if it is pretty negligible.

Some people do the opposite, when they buy something they choose the less value for their money (when it is negligible), if it maximizes the total value for the society.
If your whole year depends on you having a product ready to sell on August 1 and you don’t finish it until the middle of July, then the company fucked up. If the whole enterprise depends on that date, then the thing should be done well ahead of that date. The remaining time is to handle training and documentation and shipping. Not still working on planned features, or doing bug fixes where the devs played chicken with the drop dead date.

These are all management failure, because nine times out of ten you ran out of time because some manager or exec had a great reason why his change was so important that we should break the rules to get it in. Or that what he said isn’t what he meant and now we need to fix it no matter what. This is the sort of exception that makes me upset.

The problem is these children in suits don’t understand that “we have 9 months” means you plan for six months of work. Tops. They can’t stand the “waste” because none of them have read a real management book since college, and they only skimmed it for the test.

> Absent specific information to the contrary, I typically trust the manufacturer's recommendation; they are certainly able to make a better informed guess than I am.

The current approach (as I understand it) for Windows is to turn off measured boot for bitlocker, do the update that's likely to cause the issue, and then turn it back on again after the update has completed.

Hence you'll often notice UEFI updaters turning off bitlocker.

I've seen HP devices tell you what the value of PCR0 will be for each given update, meaning you can know beforehand what that will be, and prepare by locking measured boot to that value before rebooting.

In Linux with systemd-measure, there's an option to lock to a signed manifest for PCR11, so you can have updated kernels (UKIs, for example), able to boot, while still locking the measured boot to the kernel image, initrd, cmdline, and public key used to sign the values. At that point, your OS distribution (or yourself) can take control of that process. It doesn't help for firmware updates though, as far as I know, unless you can prepare and ship an updated PCR policy, and your OS distribution is unlikely to be tightly integrated with your hardware vendor to do that, so it will likely fall onto the user, or to unlock the disk while doing those updates.

No. That doesn’t help anyone other than computer nerds that have the background understanding to have usefully thought through the pros and cons. The reality is data is effectively “lost” all the time already when a laptop’s display fails, or some other problem that’s left the actual data completely in tact, because most people don’t know what to do about that and a sizeable portion of those people won’t bother to ‘take it in to the shop’.

> Yes. I am questioning whether I have some emotional deficiency

Yeah, you probably do. Take a hobby or art form that you’re really passionate about and have spent a lot of time on. Something that when you’re doing it, all is right in the universe. Doing this activity your tools become an extension of yourself. They are valuable and beautiful things to you, and you become somewhat attached to them.

Now someone crushes these, your favourite tools and instruments and equipment, in a hydraulic press and says that an iPad can replace them.

If you still don’t see how this could be unsettling to someone who gets so much enjoyment and purpose out of them, and instead view this as looking for a reason to be offended, you probably have some sort of emotional deficiency. You could be autistic, or have psychopathic or sociopathic tendencies.

In addition to the intensity of the Solar activity, location matters, especially nowadays.

The auroras won't be super vivid near larger cities in Central Europe, with a lot of light around you. It's just not north enough and not dark enough. Up north, rural Lapland or so, it can get very vivid during a winter.

Cameras tend to add their extra though.

A surprising thing to me was how the aurora can sometimes be still and sometimes move so fast. It is a strange experience. One would expect something that covers such a large part of the visible sky-dome to move slowly, but instead it can swipe around quite quickly ("like a fox's tail").

This article is worded so weirdly.

> "Twenty-five had suffered from ADHD since childhood"

ADHD is always from birth and for life. They make it sound like something that can start at random.

This implies that the causation is reversed - that obesity somehow causes ADHD.
Exactly. In the US culture specifically, in the XX century before the hippies, there were limited pockets of "self-expression" (discarding previous culture, really) as depicted by Henry Miller, and later the whole Beat Generation. Only after that, this tendency picked up enough steam so that the masses picked it up, in the form the Hippies movement.

Is this really true? I assume the licensing legalese means patents, and patents don't apply to private tinkering unless there's commerce involved.

More generally aside from hobby scope - The absurdity of the monopolies granted by the current patent regime are made obvious by this arrangement: Big companies that have patent portfolios to countersue with can use OpenThread freely, small businesses and startups can't.

I am sad that I missed it. I there some sort of forecast service that tells when there is a good chance to see an aurora in a particular place?
I think you misunderstand my point, there are many ways how one can do acoustic treatment, but even a better silk isn't a magic bullet. Any truly "magical" solution is going to be hightech metamaterial DSP-and-sensor-heavy and cost a hundred grand or more for a small room. I can imagine that.

What I can't imagine is that ever becoming an economically viable option.

What I can imagine is that we get better materials, like that silk, with crazy absorbtion coefficents on a small volume. But those are still going to be magnitudes more expensive than the best acoustic foam you can buy today and those still need to be placed in the right spots by someone who knows what they are doing. And the person responsible for the room needs to be able and willing to shell out the money for both. That ia why in practise we have bad aounding places and strained brains because your brain needs to focus hard on understanding acoustically smeared words.

As I said, this isn't a unsolved problem. It is just that people don't want to pay for the existing solution and many people don't even think about preventing it as they build new stuff as this is not on their radar or treated as a luxury problem.

My solution would be to make the building code requirements when it comes to acoustics and sonic insulation much stricter, especially if the purpose of a room is to talk/listen within it.
I also missed it. Meant to be happening again tonight though.
I guess that’s my point though. What is desirable about Visual Studio itself these days that one would need Rust support in it? I don’t see it as having much of an edge, especially in areas where tight Windows integration isn’t necessary.
