I was wondering if real investment into public transportation and the associated infra will help solve this issue. When I travel in some Asian and European countries, I really don't feel the need for a big car (a small one can still help). But in the US, a big SUV or a van is a godsend. Kids are happier. The wife is happier. Trips are easier. There are just so many benefits to have a big car...

And the key word is "real investment". not the ones for California to build its high-speed railway, 7 EV charge stations for 7.5 billion dollars, or $300M for high-speed internet yet no family has got it

>misses a lot of nuance

OP is acknowledging the direction / trend. The nuance is whatever central gov incentivizes. Local gov have been (and still) incentivized to use provincial power because it's in their control, it enables them to hit other good for promotion metrics without worrying about politics/dependencies. Coal is simply reliable and local gov don't even like depending on grid of adjacent provinces, especially when renewable generation has been fluctuating with extreme climate last few years. But if central gov starts hinting promotions is going to be based on enhancing cross border power, bureaucrats will start indexing on that. Economics of utility scale renewables projecting to cheaper than coal without considering externalities. Right now still in phase of building out enough renewables so grid is resilient. West-East Electricity Transfer Project is a multi decade project spanning back to the 10th 5 year plan in the 00s, once there's enough resiliency, central gov will push local gov to play better with state grid.
interesting, content to be wrong based on an absolute ignorance of the topic. my laymans read of photon entanglement had to do with how it was described in quantum key distribution, where entangled photons maintained a kind of polarization state between each other over a long distance, where the observation of one of them caused a state change at the other "end". this idea of remote causality was what implied that the properties of one end of an entanglement could operate on another.

when I looked up whether other particles could be entangled in the same way, the analogy seemed to map, but the logical errors appear to be, a) assuming there is time between the entangled photons as there's no t in p = mv, b) then that there is time dependent information between the photons, then c) extrapolating that some property of black holes might operate on that relationship.

thank you for indulging!

I think this tactic is nothing more than deception, the guys are not staying around and give some guidance, they left or did not do the job the shareholders thought they were doing.

I have no problem, that people get payed big money to stay at the company and just to little consulting, but hiding their real position or amount of work is just theatre.
You switch often early in your career. Later you settle and it doesn’t matter. You may think that shiny new hyped bleeding edge is so much better, but in reality these are toys with unclear future.

This is an aspect of the car market.

Poor people would like smaller cars, but they buy used cars, not new cars. Affluent people buy new cars and want big SUVs. Of course, then that's what ends up on the used market after a few years.

I think in the US we are increasingly suffering from credentialism. I think acquiring credentials and appearing to be the best possible person is more game-able than it was previously thought to be. I think Goodhart's Law is becoming apparent. I think credentials could be meaningful but that a lot of people exist just to occupy prestigious space and time but who do not add value. It seems like we're unwilling to admit this could happen.
There's Still a Lot We Have to Learn About the Proton
>scammy probiotics

It is pretty understandably where you're coming from. The industry has no standards/certifications and thus a free play for anybody. I for example haven’t found anything effective for me. For my dog though the FortiFlora noticeably improves the output (fortunately we have no serious issues here, it just like any dog owner you watch your dog's output as an important health indicator and over years, my is 15 already, you get to become a big specialist on your dog's output and notice any worsenings or improvements).
I enjoy this so far. If you had a way to indicate Number of tries in the calendar result (I understand color alone is difficult with Red/Green colorblindness, but, something like the following):

Green = 1st try
Yellow = 2nd Try
Orange = 3rd Try
Red = Fail

That would be pretty cool to see.

Or maybe a superscript by the date (though if you're using some pre-made component that could be harder to implement, but something like that might help colorblind users over my color-only approach). Or you could use a "number of dots system" (but again maybe not easy if a component).

Anyways, this is really cool, thanks for making it!
That kind of thing is what gets you a society with incentives to produce more death-row convictions.
Hi greysphere, you are definitely correct that one primary thing preventing velocity of the electron from exceeding than the speed of light is the presence of gamma in the relativistic force law, aka \partial_t (m_e \gamma v ) = q_e(E + v \times B), although the LHS doesn't quite equal \gamma m_e a, since \gamma also depends on v...

In general I think it's fine to use Coulomb's law as an approximation in this case because the proton is much heavier than the electron and so we can just stay in the proton's reference frame and let the electron fall in from infinity (and we're ignoring QM and just doing relativistic EM here). We could also switch to a tritium nucleus and make it a bit better of an approximation, or indeed add a whole bunch more neutrons and get lucky that they don't beta decay to make it an arbitrarily good one. It is true that if the proton starts moving that you will no longer have a pure Coulomb field with respect to the original reference frame, as after a Lorentz boost the E field gets squished into the transverse direction somewhat, and you'll gain a B field swirling around the proton...

Staying with the frozen proton approx, if we plug numbers in we get quite a bit of energy: set the proton radius r_p to 1E-15, and we get U = q_e^2 / ( 4 \pi \eps_0 r_p ) ~ 1.4 MeV, or a gamma of about 4, so yeah, it would be moving faster than c if we stayed with Newtonian mechanics. But there's another wrinkle: the 1.4 MeV of liberated potential energy won't all go into the electron's relativistic kinetic energy, because it is accelerating like crazy, especially in the final femtometers, and that acceleration (essentially Bremsstrahlung, although its not braking here) will generate an intense pulse of EM radiation as well - a decent fraction of the 1.4 MeV will go into that instead. You could perhaps estimate how much using the Larmor formula (in general calculating this radiation reaction force precisely becomes very complex, because the excitation of the EM wave modifies the acceleration, which modifies the excitation of the EM wave etc... And, now looking on Wikipedia, I'm not surprised to see that the first QM version of the calculation was done by Sommerfeld).

So yeah, the electron will zip through the proton, with much of the potential energy converted to an EM pulse that zips off to infinity, and so the electron is now bound to the proton, and will continue to zig zag back and forth, emitting more radiation until it comes to a rest inside the proton. So yeah, we do need QM after all.
As you compare with Golang, I expected an option that goes beyond the banking domain.
No, really: nobody has completely textbook anatomy.

Isn't this really just "actually a startup" mode vs. "a growing, professionalizing company" mode?

This footnote was what got me:
> [1] The more diplomatic way of phrasing this statement would be to say that experienced C-level execs are often very skilled at managing up. And I don't think anyone with knowledge of this world would dispute that.

I've not founded startups. I just work in them. I'm not even a terribly important worker. AI bots are absolutely coming for my job.

But this is when I know a company has left "actually a startup" mode in the way that I can enjoy it and thrive in it, and when it's transitioned to "a growing, professionalizing company" mode, in which I wish them the best, but GTFO because I hate working in companies like that:

As soon as there are three layers of management between me and the CEO, all of whose roles primarily require them to prove that they are somehow "managing" my work, even though they don't have the first clue how to do my work, the company isn't in its startup stage anymore. It's a whole different kind of company, and not one I choose to stay in. I just go find somewhere else to help get to that stage.

"Professional managers" and "startups" are incompatible. Startups have to be able to move and pivot so fast that there's no use for a "manager" who doesn't actually know how to do the work of those they manage. They're going to be called on to fill in for those people far too frequently. They're dead weight if all they know how to do is "manage."

There is eventually a stage when you want those people, but trying to move to it too early, around your C or D when the VCs are telling you that you should, is fatal. Everyone who made the existing thing good is going to get crowded out by sycophants who don't have the deep cultural knowledge of and commitment to your product. All they know how to do is blow smoke up the right skirts at the right times.
Not sure what cookies have to do with it. If we would use a system where the client software only obtains the secret that the user is asking for, it can later say which credentials were accessed and thus need to be rotated when the employee leaves. If session cookies are still usable by an employee whose account was deleted, that's a vulnerability...

Aren't the wolves in Iowa a bad example since that in fact should reduce risk to the general population? I mean, there are studies that predators reduce traffic collisions with deer due to making those more wary, which far outweighs any real danger imposed by wolves themselves. Hence, as always, looking at the whole picture is necessary to get a full view of what is at stake. And popular objection is not a good argument for that at all times.

What a senseless, selfish, petty thing to attempt.

I would apply those adjectives to the companies (or researchers out for accolades and citations) who attempt to build their systems based on the non-consensual data extraction in the first place.

To not only deprive systems ultimately benefitting humanity ...

By and large, these systems are built to finance the lush early retirements of the founders, investors and high-level ICs of these companies -- not to benefit humanity. Whether they even benefit humanity as a side effect is very much open to question.

If these companies won't pay, or even condescend to ask permission for access - fuck 'em.
Neil deGrasse Tyson; if he is working on a s riot prepared by someone else like on a TV Show, he is quite a nice communicator. But, if he does not have such a script, I would say unless he is debunking a flat earther or some actor’s mythical views of mathematics, I would just ignore it. If he talks about biology, which he often does, I would just leave.
Australia’s changed for the worse over the past 30 years as well. SUVs used to be the exception in urban areas, now they’re everywhere - usually with a single occupant.

I saw an old Hummer H2 on the road the other day. They used to appear gargantuan to me. This time, what struck me was that it no longer looks shockingly larger than anything else on the road.

There’s a real boiling frog vibe to inner city traffic. It’s so bad - so jammed up and so dirty - but we’re completely inured to it.

The phrasing is exactly

> There are people here on this forum openly admitting they don’t see how ‘knowing Linux’ is useful

That could literally apply to any job, especially as a developer.

And then the rest of your inane rant is about something I didn’t say. I didn’t say anything about linux being limited to the CLI, in fact my other comments say Linux is much more than the CLI.m. So now you’re just inventing your own argument to be angry about.

So maybe take your own advice, and give a charitable reading instead of getting angry because you’re unable to make a point. Because not only did you take the least charitable version of what I said, you invented arguments I didn’t make.

And maybe you should take a break from the internet if things make you this angry this easily.

1. My family is from Northern California. I grew up in Sacramento, and my family still resides there. I spent all of my life in California except for eight months in Japan and three months in Seattle, both for internships.

2. I have a tenure-track faculty position. Academic jobs are hard to come by and are competitive to get.

3. The Bay Area’s tech opportunities are unparalleled. Even though I’m no longer working in industry, I can still take advantage of summer consulting roles as an academic, and I also can easily reach out to various companies for other academia-industry partnerships. I can easily keep up to date with the latest technological developments through local Meetup groups. Resources like the Computer History Museum are commutable to me. If I want to start a small tech company, I have plenty of networking opportunities.

4. The Bay Area is culturally diverse and has a high level of acceptance of ethnic minorities.

5. As someone who travels to Japan twice a year, it’s convenient being a sub-$100 Uber or Lyft ride away from a major international airport with direct flights to my choice of Tokyo airports (Narita or Haneda).

6. There are many cultural amenities in the Bay Area. If I want to see a concert from a world-famous musician, chances are high that he or she will be stopping in the area. I can choose between plenty of museums and performance halls.

7. I know this is cliché, but it’s hard to beat California coastal weather.

8. Wonderful Asian food!

I thought about leaving the Bay Area earlier this year. While it’s very expensive and while I’ll never be able to afford to buy a home on my professor salary alone, as a lifelong Californian I don’t know if I’d be happier somewhere else. Sure, I could afford a home in the South, the Midwest, or another part of the country with low housing costs, even with a 30% pay cut, but I’d give up many of the things that I’m accustomed to in California. I love Seattle, but it is also expensive. I could see myself living in Japan, but the weak yen plus lower salaries and less vacation time (compared to American academics) are major downsides for me.

Thus, I remain in the Bay Area, though I’m actively searching for side business opportunities so I could find a way to increase my income so that way buying a home would be achievable.
> My first thought is someone is going to do these experiments, probably on a prisoner.

In the animal model, they surgically altered the animals to have an injection cannula placed in their skulls, it's obviously hard to target, so you just install it and run the experiment, then after the experiment, you kill and necropsy the animal to see if it was in the right place after all. If it was you can keep those results, if it wasn't, you throw those results away.

Meanwhile the test is putting them on a rotating platform and shocking their feet on certain platform areas. Then waiting for them to avoid it habitually. Then you inject them. Then you see if they still avoid it.

These guys basically know next to nothing about how memories are formed at this point. Their test is so amazingly cruel while being particularly narrow that you can't actually divine anything useful from it. Except maybe more funding to keep shooting in the dark at these animals expense.
You’re assuming it’s just about pay when that’s not necessarily the case. Lots of loyalty in many cases but still want to stay involved. Push them out of the door and they will find something to do and that may be at a competitor.
