Well, also what happened in the last 40 years was that the administrative state exploded in size.

And, now, for every new law that Congress passes, unelected bureaucrats in federal agencies create TWENTY-SEVEN new laws. https://www.forbes.com/sites/waynecrews/2017/08/15/how-many-...

And the size of the federal government has become simply immense, even discounting the size of the world's largest military. It's by far the world's largest employer in terms of monetary spend.

So, overturning Chevron was just a tiny step toward curbing the massive power that government agencies have over the citizens that they purport to serve.
Ultimately, whoever controls operating system updates always has control over your privacy. Even if Apple did offer perfect privacy, there's no reason an update couldn't completely change that.

Bluntly: if you don't trust your OS vendor, then you can't use OS updates. There are people in this category but it's a lot of work.

Much easier to trust your OS vendor (at least to this extent).

It's similar enough. I've worked with GCP and AWS for a while. GCP, in my opinion, has a better developer experience: Cloud Run makes it super simple to deploy containers, either as services or batch jobs. AWS's equivalent service - ECS with Fargate - is a bit more complex to configure. The real quirks are in the cloud provider specific services... like DynamoDB.
Oh I am not claiming that China will not invade Taiwan, only that stockpiling commodities has a simpler explanation which I elucidated.

Regarding Taiwan, China has been running simulations. Recently the US introduced a new aerial weapon to destroy Chinese naval ships, so I would say that the results of China's simulations are not looking too promising for China at this time, but things change.

The True Cost of Layoffs
This sounds like healthy psychology, incorrectly medicalized to me.. Who didn't question their big decisions like a major transportation decision before 1940?

I think there were a few exceptional places/people that lacked both normal scarcity and social norm pressure, but even the wealthiest people worried like these things mattered in most towns.

You can't just erase the entire cultural context of people and expect them to have no worries because there's a few more years to various peaks. They are experiencing the stresses of developing decision skills for a life that probably spans after peak petroleum, etc.

Good call! Reading "The Wright Brothers" by David McCullough did give me a deep appreciation for how their slow, steady, incremental progress was thoroughly grounded and authentic. It ended up beating all the deep-pocketed rivals, most of whom were aiming to capitalize on the gestalt of the moment. History sure does rhyme!

P.S. I wonder who is (or what applications are) today on that slow, steady path of leveraging AI using carefully thought-out + meaningful approaches? Time is the best filter :)
Yes, very true. Although if you go this route you’d better look at the specs closely. Amazon is filled with drives that run USB 2.0 speeds over a USB-C cable.
This class of methods should be able to reach submicron resolution. I am fairly certain the various teams are working hard to improve that. Regarding optoelectronics, perhaps these are already good enough for NIR applications?

Agreed. It's also a lot harder, more expensive, and much more easily detected to buy off the majority of Congress than a single President or Secretary.
People are too obssessed with "status" with these types of decisions.

At the end of the day, if you go into any field chasing money or status, and if you fail, you will really be left with nothing.

So go into AI research if that's what you are interested in. If not, don't do it. Simple as that.
No, that's not true at all.

For example, a chemistry simulation can be done in first quantization; where the state is a list of superposed 2s-complement integers indicating the positions of the electrons (as opposed to a more direct one-qubit=one-position mapping). And the list is initialized in a way that satisfies the Pauli exclusion principle by using a sorting network [1]. This is presumably not at all how Nature does it.

Another example is factoring. Shor's factoring algorithm is not at all like behaving analogous to a physical system. It's about modular exponentiation and Fourier transforms; math things not physics things.

Yet another example is Hamming weight phasing. If you need to rotate many qubits by a common angle around the Z axis, you can achieve that effect more cheaply by temporarily computing their Hamming weight (under superposition) and then rotating the first qubit of the Hamming weight register by the angle, the second by twice the angle, the third by four times the angle, etc. And actually that various-rotation-angles operation can then also be replaced by an addition into a special reusable phase gradient state; this achieves the desired effect by phase kickback [2]. Adding the Hamming weight of their spins into a helper state is probably not how Nature goes about precessing electrons in a uniform magnetic field.

Honest question:

How do you square a legislative failure to be specific with Gorsuch lambasting the length of most modern laws?

Recent court opinions seem to take the stance that congress hasn’t legislated thoroughly and accurately, and now have crippled the chevron doctrine saying it should be in their hands.

There’s parallels here with software development, I think. It’s easy to come up with a basic system that works as intended but is not robust to failure. It’s extremely hard to near impossible to be both succinct, correct, and robust to failure. You also wouldn’t expect the PMs to be responsible for the implementation.

Of course, many lawmakers are happy to outsource the coding to special interests.
I suppose I have the exact opposite problem: I'll only spend money if I'm getting a thing that I believe I have a chance to resell later and re-capture at least a little of the value--even if it's just pennies on the dollar. And, I avoid buying things new because most things' resale value is gone the moment you walk out of the store. Sometimes I think everything I own I got on Craigslist.

I have a terribly difficult time allowing myself to spend on travel, shows, experiences and so on, because these things leave you with nothing but fleeting memories, and you can't re-sell those later on eBay when you're tired of them. I don't really feel the inherent value of the experience.
This submission was prior to that.. looks like the second chance pool has struck.
I'm honestly getting tired of these "terraforming mars" articles, anyone that's seriously looked into it knows it is not possible to change the surface such that humans can live outside. The gravity of the planet is so low that it couldn't even give you enough density with a 100% oxygen atmosphere to breathe it and live, you'd be hypoxic. And with the other things required in the atmosphere to have an earth like biome, forget about it. I have seen articles talking about using argon as a buffer gas (so we can forget about the nitrogen cycle) and all sorts of other stuff that any serious person that knows the basic details knows is just popsci candy on the order of ancient aliens.

It's pretty simple: if life were viable at that location it would already be there. I can see sustaining an artificial environment there, like a fabric covering a greenhouse like area or nuclear reactors powering caves complete with agriculture, but these aren't "terraforming".
I very much hope to see this (or similar) in C# soon. It’s not make or break for me, but it would certainly help make for cleaner, smaller codebases — I’ve sorely missed it in the past, but only a couple times. My context is being a former hard-core C++ person who switched to .Net and AWS pretty-much cold turkey.

You'll need to tweak the old code base that was tested, though, as armhf is being dropped by many distros, yet that was the default for many devices from around that generation. I don't think the process will break much, but it deviates from that standard install process.

This hits close to home. Despite our household income approaching 200k I was still driving a 17 year old car until the repairs exceeded the scrap cost. I got lucky and snagged a starter home just before rates shot up and continue to live well below my means. I hate spending money and can only make bigger purchases after weeks of consideration and only pull the trigger on an impulse. My SO still sweats over $50 purchases.

>Their work has been significant enough to be published in Lancet which is a pretty good signal to this layman (though with a bachelor's of science in an unrelated scientific field, so no stranger to reading primary literature).

i've no opinion on the topic at hand, but I would urge you to find a plethora of signals to form your opinions.

The Lancet has been responsible for quite a few negative 'public health' trends.

The Lancet is responsible, at least partially, for the whole 'vaccines == autism' thing of Andrew Wakefield's; and even ignoring that they have a history of poor review and retraction of work that ends up either being entirely wrong, or guilty of experimental misconduct.

In 1992 they published stuff that suggested a causal link between HIV infection and the oral polio vaccines.

In 1998 they published a (big tobacco funded) peper indicating that second hand smoke doesn't have as much risk as earlier thought.

In 2000 they published a study that claimed that St Johns Wort was as effective an anti-depressant as conventional SSRIs and TCAs.

Just because something has become 'prestigious' doesn't mean it should be trusted wholeheartedly.

This is pretty common for people who have struggled in the past and people who are uncertain about the future. There's a lot of uncertainty about the long term stability and sustainability of things right now.

It's why doomsday preppers are a growing market and a rising industry (https://www.newsweek.com/doomsday-prepping-246-billion-indus...), it's why rich people are building bunkers and securing citizenship in multiple countries so that they can jump ship if the one they're in starts sinking.

Once people's anxieties are alleviated by confidence in their security there should be fewer people with lots of money worried about spending it.

> Moreover it seems like people don't consider the negative effects if courts decided cases in the other direction (e.g. how federal agencies could abuse their authority if Chevron had been upheld).

We don't need to hypothesize, Chevron was the law of the land for most of our lifetimes until the self-appointed Supreme Court super-legislature intervened. Arguably Chevron itself was the courts recognizing established legislative function with federal agencies that had existed for decades prior. We can see exactly how federal agencies would or would not abuse their authority, and congress really didn't have a problem with the situation as evidenced by the the absence of legislation to change the arrangement.

The legislative failure is really that congress hasn't immediately drafted new legislation to reverse this brazen power grab, discipline the rogue justices, and reform the Supreme Court back into its place as an apolitical branch.

It's the reason the article was written by a marketing professor, it's motivated by exploring why people are resistent to marketing and the end goal would be to change the thinking about people who save rather than spend.

You can see yourself the language used to describe saving not spending as that used to describe abnormal behaviour driven by unreasonable delusions.

It's an article crafted to normalise spending.

As opposed to the orderly and just governments, that are so clearly-defined and well trusted?

Or are you more highlighting the unlawful conduct from businesses like NGO Group that are so shamefully allowed to persist without government scrutiny? It's hard for me to tell, since both of them have hacked iPhones to attain privileged access and will likely do it again. From where I'm standing it looks like their "promise" has more holes in it than swiss cheese.
So, so, so many people get caught up in information bubbles and fall victim to thinking everyone agrees with their viewpoint. This leads to the disillusionment with congress and the belief of it being "ineffective" because from their perspective, everyone is in agreement so why are these policies not being passed?

No, instead the system is working as designed. When there is no consensus on a policy, the policy is not passed.

SAFe should absolutely be nuked from orbit. But Scrum done right works very well. The thing is, most of your strawman items listed above are not intrinsic to Scrum.

Take the "playing with cards" thing for example. "Planning poker" is not an intrinsic element of Scrum. Despite the practice being nearly ubiquitous in shops that claim to be using Scrum, it's really an outside idea that got pulled in.

Don't believe me? Check the Scrum Guide[1] and see if you see any mention of planning poker. Or for that matter, Jira - another thing people often criticize in regards to Scrum, despite it also not actually being part of Scrum. Velocity is another thing that people love to rail against (and rightly so) that isn't part of Scrum.

Without mention of the number of study participants or risk, I was a bit suspicious, but it's not a tiny sample size, and not a low-risk group. From the paper:

The infections in the control groups were in people taking other preventative medication, not nothing.
Mirroring what many others have said, Azure is often broken and generally frustrating to use. Performance is also often _quite bad_ and there will be frustrating network limitations based on seemingly unrelated configurations. For example, we discovered that we could nearly double the download speeds to our webservers (downloading from Azure storage even) by upgrading to a beefier SKU. This may sound reasonable on the surface, but we were seeing speeds of only ~10Mb/s, often less. Even now, we see extremely slow download speeds and it is dependent on time of day - slowest during peak business hours and faster in the dead of night. I understand network congestion, but this just seems completely absurd when we're talking about servers that both exist within the same Azure region - likely in the same DC - having worse download speeds than I get from my $5 DigitalOcean droplet to my house.

Azure storage is absolute hot garbage.
Something interesting in the mix is that our emotions aren't calibrated to capitalism - we're turned to a sort of hunter-gatherer existence with maybe some farming. At a gut level most humans don't understand how to contextualise an offer of 2% compounding return on their capital.

I'd imagine evolution is (metaphorically) carefully monitoring the situation and working out what it needs to do to take advantage of these new options. It isn't actually crazy to expect people to develop twitchy panicked feelings at the though of spending money. The opportunity cost of being a spendthrift is very high, a lot of people came through the greatest wealth expansion in human history and had an opportunity to buy in to it and then spent the money on idle luxuries. Understandable but probably not optimal choices.

I have certification of an inspector with various home things… Flooring, roofing, general home inspection.. no one wants to pay what it’s worth so I don’t practice that, it’s just fun for learning about the building trades

Further - if you never have a problem the value of the inspection is zero. If you do have a problem the value of an inspection after the problem has occurred is minimal. The value of an inspection that prevents a problem is something - but how to quantify that is difficult.
