There is every chance that income is a multi-modal distribution, and thus one should not talk of a single median.

However, the person to whom I was replying used cheap and not-so-cheerful language to suggest that it was possible to talk about this en masse. Assuming that to be reasonable, I replied with an en masse response.

Certainly if you break it down at the county level, I expect you'd find multiple different patterns, and would then be faced with which ones to call "typical" or "indicative".

What I find difficult to understand here is that the logic of the program, in the case of a Haskell-like language, is encoded in the types.

I don’t need to look at the definition of a Monoid instance for a type (unless in rare cases it matter for some reason). I know there’s an identity element of the type and there’s a binary relation that combines elements of the type. Any type that’s a lawful Monoid works the same way.

And it goes up from there.

Denotational design is significantly different from an operational design. It’s not surprising that most programmers are taught and tend to think in terms of how computations are carried out instead of what computations are needed and the ways we can compose them. I still struggle with it at times.

I classify it separately from “indirection,” because of the laws that govern a design process like that. The same rules used in algebra work in programs where you can rely on being able to substitute terms for symbols representing those terms. And algebra seems to have been a rather successful language for manipulating expressions.

Where it does break down though is at the edges where we need to interact with run time exceptions, the state of resources external to the process, etc. Even in Haskell you can write your code procedurally if you want. You won’t get the benefits of denotational design but at least you’ll still have a pretty decent type system that helps you with refactoring and extracting “logic” later on into something more understandable and easier to work with.
Fun video games never went away. Look for games by indie developers instead of AAA titles.

The problem is when even Nintendo’s own first party titles are struggling with the hardware. That wasn’t that common with the Wii, 3DS, or previous consoles but very very very noticeable on Switch
I mean from a certain POV the Linux crashes were worse. Everybody understands that buggy kernel-mode drivers can bring down the OS and it's not the OS vendor's fault, but the Linux crashes were exactly what eBPF was supposed to make impossible.

> The “artists need to make a living” narrative against piracy is pure deception. Truth is that most artists want [...]

I'd like to offer a more moderate option--or perhaps just radical in a different direction.

Artists would like to make a living, and the "deception" comes from how that slogan is used to falsely present the powers-that-be as able, willing, and actively delivering on that goal.
Could have worked under the table.

This is a ridiculous take! You’re arguing (or appear to be) that all-or-nothing welfare systems are fine because you can always just commit welfare and tax fraud if you want more money?!

> Isn't this an intended feature of UBI? The idea of UBI is that some level of material support should be guaranteed. It's about bringing "up" the floor, not really re-arranging relative equal and unequal positions. Plenty of people dislike that about it, but it's an intended feature.

Absolutely, but I guess I don't see how just giving everyone money brings that floor up. Maybe I'm looking at this naively, but I don't see what's preventing things from just costing more after UBI. If the government gives everyone $1000/mo so landlords raise rent by $1000/mo then the floor is unchanged. I realize it's not that simple and that type of inflation wouldn't happen over night, but it seems like that's the direction it would head. Just looking at the housing aspect of it, it actually seems like the people who would benefit the most from UBI would be the people at the middle to upper end of the wage scale since they are more likely to own a house which means their housing costs are more fixed than someone renting.

To me it seems like we need some way to control the cost of basic needs otherwise it's just a constant race between the government raising UBI and the market raising prices (although, admittedly, it seems like the same argument could be made about minimum wage).

This is definitely not something I'm super well versed in though, so I might be looking at it wrong and am very open to people showing me what I'm missing.
If one is giving a presentation to an audience on this sort of thing, it makes sense to highlight "these are the terrible incentives that are a problem with the system" instead of "here are some semi-illegal survival strategies that you could attempt if you are trapped in this terribly incentivised system".

I stopped self-publishing my books, because as soon as I offered PDFs to those who purchased my paper books the sales of printed copies tanked. Then nobody wanted to pay for PDFs and Amazon screwed my KDP sales (banned my book). The readers felt entitled to free copies and free consultation on the subject of the book. It's really depressing how entitled people feel to other people's creative output or knowledge.

That's the thing - authentication capability is basically sideeffect of Oauth/OIDC.
SAAS x can request whatever they want via OIDC and then user can either accept it or decline it. This is protocol, not google specific matter. Ask ordinary user how they understand what is being asked from them when they are trying "to log in" via OIDC/Oauth.
With SAML it's the other way around - administrator chooses what is being sent to SAAS x, user does not need to decide anything nor do they get hard to understand prompts.

"How more dangerous?"

Generally, the spent pellet structure and hot decay products are problematic to handle as they become a strong gamma emitter. Additionally, there are several risks from decay product dust, non-solid gases, and reactive chemistry.

It would be nice if everything could be stabilized into an insoluble oxide ceramic, but this is not how many decay-products behave.

I am sure there is someone around that can model the exact probabilistic details on how much and when the most risky products are significantly present.

My concern is more with long run outcomes, and if it may still seriously harm some family 157 years from now. =3

I think a big value prop is that it reduces vendor lock-in, especially when depending on a new company. If the company fails, you can self-host and even fork. You can also choose to self-host for compliance reasons if your sector doesn't jive well with multi-tenant SaaS.

Just curious: Is this comparing the same codec? x264 vs AV1 will have a massively different bitrate. So, if a service is using AV1, that could actually be better for the consumer.

* Can the misconception that micro-muscle tears cause growth just die? We already know since 90s that it’s the myonuclei addition driven by muscle tension.

* There is no strength gain without muscle gain. There is not a single mechanism recorded that would drive this behavior.

* This post made me angry on so many fucking levels. Hex-bar deadlift is at least a good choice for legs due to its lower load on lumbar.

* Finally, it’s the concentric that drives most of the hypertrophy. Not eccentric. It’s why you see gym bros and most IFBB pros (gear aside) disregard eccentric control and hammer the concentric. Because that’s the movement that drives the growth.

* Eccentric cause most fatigue (many types) and lowering slower on purpose would hinder recovery times (and growth as well since the relationship between the two exists)
Did I miss something here? It seems like a whole lot of marketing-speak that never gets around to describing what this "new path" consists of.
It's useless to you, but you're not the arbiter of what is useful to other people. It's certainly useful for the professional athletes making lots of money, getting to travel, becoming famous, and you know, pursuing their dreams from childhood.
There's plenty of evidence to show that the free speech claim was a lie. There are many examples of twitter targeting particular individuals based on Elon's prerogatives. Of course the site belongs to him, so it is what it is, but it's clear that the free speech thing was a lie (which frankly is always the case with people who claim to be free speech absolutists)
CrowdStrike is deployed on Linux servers as well, so clearly companies like these do run EDR software on their Linux hosts.

Apple pretends they don't need antivirus the same way some Linux advocates will, but viruses exist on both platforms. Very few companies run their digital signage or internal application databases on macOS hosts, mostly because Apple stepped out of that market years ago.

Whenever Apple or Linux are deployed at the scale these CrowdStrike desktops are, you can assume similar software is deployed on any platform. This time it was a kernel crash, next time it could be MDM software locking all iPads out of all network access, or null routing all I/O requests in eBPF.
I am certainly glad that you managed to escape. I don't think our society's response to the welfare cliff should be to tell people to break the law though. Surely we should redesign the law to lift everyone up instead instead?

It's a bit ramshackle, but we have a pretty consistent way we measure money supply in the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_supply

And despite using Atmos, I still have so many issues with audio mixing for SFX and dialog tracks.

How is this so hard to get right?

I have a Apple TV 4K (and Roku doesn't do much better, to be clear), connected to a Marantz Cinema 70s (8K, Dolby Atmos, 7.2), and little to nothing that is done either on the receiver, ATV, or playback source does anything to alleviate the huge frustration that is "being able to hear dialog cleanly without rupturing a speaker, eardrum or both when there's an explosion".

As for Roku... I have the Roku Ultra hooked up to the same... but, since Plex released an ATV app, I don't really need it...

This would necessarily[0] be a cultural thing, and particularly any mention of Japan means an implicit strong work culture stemming from their geographic situation[1]. And if it does turn out that there are enough people needing some externally imposed structure, something can always be simulated for them.

[0] Necessarily because there was a time when this wasn't a thing at all, before the birth of wage labor. Everyone had the opportunity to contribute as they saw fit.

[1] Japan is very poor in natural resources (oil, ores, etc), and so in order to participate in the global economy, the only thing they have to rely on is their human labor pool. And so they needed a society of extra hard workers to have a competitive edge in something.
Is UBI a necessary part of progressive taxation? Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like that same thing can be accomplished without UBI. Am I thinking about that wrong?
It's also a lesson that always seems to fail to be learned. Xerox had the capital to set up a research arm, then failed to convert on any ideas because they were too focused on their current cash-cow. They eventually transitioned to "document company" where a document wasn't only paper, but it was too little/late.
This is one of the reasons I personally went fair source/source-available. I was already sharing my code with my biggest customers via escrow, so I thought I'd just simplify and share with everybody and give everyone the same benefits i.r.t. continuity and longevity.
In this case the style or country of origin of the martial art doesn't matter, what matters is the school. In the US, there are a lot of schools geared towards advancement, like many belt colors, timelines for advancement, lots of children in classes, etc. You may want to look more into schools (or martial arts) where there are more adults and less focus on constant rewards.

Then I would say look at styles and research the instructors. I guess style research could come first if there are obvious things you don't want, like for example if you don't want to practice something with lots of ground work that is like wrestling, then avoid BJJ/MMA schools.

It can be expensive but when I went (long time ago) I did find it to be a good workout where I wasn't bored, like in a gym.

Presumably it's a postulate, and applies in all reasonable cases. The generalization was given as an example of a larger truism.

To give a specific example: Solving discrimination against Maronites by instituting a system of power sharing which discriminated against Shiites and Druze set Lebanon up for failure. Can you think of an instance where reactionary counter-discrimination solved an issue long-term? Why be skeptical of the assertion of "two wrongs don't make a right"? It's generally observable in all cases that retributive "justice" simply creates resentment, deepens issues and erodes belief and trust in social institutions.

I was wondering just about this, if hormone replacement therapy is really that safe, as one can imagine the natural drop in its levels with age may not necessarily be pathological itself, but a protection mechanism. Like the ageing body were an old boiler you can't just do a overhaul, so as the pipes rust, you turn the pressure down, to keep it operating it within a safe envelope. HRT then would be like an unwitting intern trying to improve the system by cranking the settings up back to the level of a brand new one.
"Star chamber" is a fabulous term that would seem to describe the situation quite well. Thanks, added to my internal dictionary!
Sometimes you don't even have a photo, but rather a synthesized image that looks as if a lens was in use.

Sometimes, you want to have a system that's able to self-correct after you slap a random lens on it as it's working. Or, you're looking through a translucent material, which acts as an ad-hoc lens with unknown parameters, and you want to compensate on the go.

Point being, methods of on-line calibration without use of special calibration setup (like ArUco boards mentioned elsewhere) have a wide range of use cases and are always welcome.
Husband of one of the researchers here.

These scientific cruises are a huge undertaking, and the fact that the team managed to do this during Covid was an achievement by itself. Shipping containers filled with obscure tech to a different country that you'll then send to the bottom of the ocean will surely raise eyebrows at customs. Then there was the self-isolating, and working in shifts so different teams can do different kinds of lander deployments (and pick them back up), etc. Incredible!

Some of the tech that's put on these kinds of research ships is pretty crazy, too. For example, they put spherical glass floats on landers that go to the bottom of the ocean[0]. Weights pull the lander down, and when the lander receives a signal it detaches the weights[1] so the floats pull it back up. These glass floats are pretty big and need to be able to resist a huge amount of pressure at depths of multiple kilometers. If I recall correctly, if one of these spheres breaks, due to the pressure, the collapse of the water on all sides of the sphere results in as much energy released as an atomic bomb.

As to this research: the researchers initially weren't too happy to find this. First they doubted if it was correct, but it's actually worse when you find out it is in fact correct but it goes against everything in biology books: how the hell are you going to explain this to people?

[0] I'm not sure if a lander like that was used in this research btw, it's just an example that I found interesting.

[1] One time, I think on a different cruise, researchers didn't have enough weights to do an extra deployment, so they got weights from the gym on the ship and put them on the lander. There's a whole bunch of these kinds of interesting/funny stories in different fields of science, could be nice if someone were to collect them somewhere.
If we're counting emulation they can get even smaller than that, practicality be damned.

That’s the big question I was alluding to. Does the prompt provide sufficient novelty to avoid claims of copyright? Or is it too derivative? I don’t have a strong opinion but can see both sides and suspect eventually it will be decided by the courts.

The distinction you may be missing is that copyright refers to licensed reproduction. IP is, after all, about property/ownership rights.
You can’t write programs like CrowdStrike falcon in user space on windows, because windows doesn’t offer the right kind of APIs and hooks from userspace to provide that kind of protection. On Mac OS CrowdStrike falcon runs in userspace already, and on Linux, the kernel interface is provided by eBPF, which acts as a sandbox, preventing certain classes of crash. So it really is true that Microsoft does not provide safe access like other operating systems do.
Whats the difference of this and enqueue work into a queue then waiting for a job to pick it up at a scheduled time? Not saying build a Kafka cluster to serve this but most cloud providers have queuing tools.
For information theory, I've always thought of entropy as follows:

"If you had a really smart compression algorithm, how many bits would it take to accurately represent this file?"

i.e., Highly repetitive inputs compress well because they don't have much entropy per bit. Modern compression algorithms are good enough on most data to be used as a reasonable approximation for the true entropy.
