There is some logic to retention bonuses at failing companies. The point is not to get "you" to work as CEO of the most failing company on Earth. It is to get someone that the board thinks is competent at rescuing the company to work there. If this person has such skills, they likely can go work somewhere less screwed up and make more money and/or have a less stressful job. Hence, you need to pay them to make up for the difference. You might argue with whether the CEO is the right person or is up to the task but if you do hire someone for the job, the compensation makes sense.

As for the non-executive workers, the more likely outcome is they get fired or lose benefits. This is because the company likely needs to shed costs really quickly and the biggest cost for most companies is payroll. This asymmetry of outcomes is stark and, quite frankly, sucks but the math checks out. Companies exist to create value and they will do what is needed to continue doing that. Compensation is not about fairness or putting food on the table. It is about what is required to help the company continue creating value.

The takeaway is to always have a sober assessment of your position. Take a look at the chessboard and figure out if you are a Queen or a pawn. Once you know where you stand, act accordingly.

Yes, it works if you do it. No, relying on it to get a population to lose weight doesn't work, even if that population has self-selected for wanting to lose weight and you educate the hell out of them.
The rationale for supplying aid might not matter when the aid is sufficient. Although, coercive aid might still be a problem; I'm unfamiliar with international law on this.

But when aid is not sufficient, I think rationale/intent makes more of a difference. If you're doing it for the right reasons and putting in a good effort, sufficiency may not be acheivable and it may not be right to charge you with not acheiving it. If you're only doing it to keep your friends happy, and it's insufficient, maybe there was more you could have done.
To me it looks like Russia is trying to test if their ICBMs will get through western air defense as they had troubles with their Kinzal/Iskander ballistic missiles being shot down in some scenarios. There were also purges on Russian side because of this - https://mil.in.ua/en/news/russia-imprisoned-12-scientists-in...

I think there is no utility of using ICBM for targeting anything using conventional warhead. CEP is 100m and more, it is just waste of military resources.

So my guess is a test / show of force / terror bombing. Probably all 3 at the same time.

I use thread_local a lot, but until recently, on Windows a delay-loaded dll with thread_local would've not worked, and the fix that is in place today is costly, okay that may not be the typical case, but it shows that support for such feature can create a lot of cost elsewhere.

Another pitfall with these is with thread-stealing concurrent schedulers - e.g. your worker thread now waits on something, and the scheduler decides to reuse the current thread for another worker - what is the meaning of thread_local there?

Another one would be coroutines (though haven't used them a lot in C/C++).
Without knowing the details, Microstrategy stock, and especially their bonds, look like an overly complicated way of gambling on bitcoin.

My guess is that a high degree of complicatedness of a bet can make it very compelling to certain types of gamblers because the process of learning how the bet works makes one feel like they have an advantage. But how that results in Microstrategy stock (total market capitalization) selling for around 3x the value of their bitcoin holdings is a mystery to me.

A problem, but not an insurmountable one.

Being hit isn’t the same as being destroyed, you can track and avoid large objects, and small are survivable in the short term. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whipple_shield Collisions however keep adding up until a satellite fails.

Second an outbound rocket need not be in orbit, so if it is destroyed that may not result in extra orbital debris the overwhelming majority of mass could fall back to earth.

Also, Kessler syndrome isn’t a forever thing. There’s a reason planets have rings not debris clouds. It’s possible to have a steady state where the rate you’re making it worse is balanced with the rate things are naturally clearing.
Biden/Harris, Starmer, Scholz and Macron have all been supplying Israel with arms, all whole knowing they are carrying out a genocide. The US has also had boots on the ground, and the UK has flown hundreds of spy and missions over Gaza. Meanwhile, they all give near carbon-copy press statements that read like they came straight from Israeli Hasbara.

They have knowingly supported and aided Israel, and I hope more warrants are forthcoming.

Come to think of it, plenty of journalists and media orgs are complicit too, such as the BBC.
If the goal is to collect precise data and use it after the experiment to draw conclusions, update a model, etc. then sure.

If the goal is to demonstrate to observers how the neutron output (reaction rate) increases as the reflectors are moved closer together over the source, then that isn't really necessary.

This seems more like an incredibly dangerous version of a demonstration you might see at an interactive science museum or a classroom. You don't need precise measurements to demonstrate the relationship between two phenomenon.
Israel don't recognize the authority of the International Criminal Court. Palestine, however, does, and therefore the ICC consider these allegations within their jurisdiction. A relevant point is that the UK (under the previous Conservative party government) requested the opportunity to dispute the allegations of war crimes based on this complication, but the new British government did not choose to continue with the objection. No other countries have made objections.

Thanks for the sample! I was asking because it seems to me this is always an interesting example of a very common and very well defined formal operation where nevertheless type systems are extremely cumbersome to use, but I'm always curious if there is some solution that I'm missing.

I wonder if there is any plausible approach that would work closer to how units are treated in physics calculations - not as types, but as special numerical values, more or less (values that you can multiply/divide by any other unit, but can only add/subtract with themselves).
Kind of, but the data isn't that great on that. There's some doubt about even SSRIs being net positive long term.

> I’ve also noticed more people skipping supermarket trips entirely and ordering everything online from places like Walmart or Amazon, which often deliver in boxes or reusable bags anyway

Yes. My mother in law struggles to walk so she prefers to order groceries online now. Walmart always delivers them in reusable bags, so there's a stockpile there. The outcome is she's started to use them as bin liners just like we used to use single use bags from the grocery store

This is a big part of why I think some kind of bag return system needs to be in place. No one needs hundreds of reusable bags, but they will accumulate any time you're at a store without one so what do you do with them?
I spent a minute or two trying to create a route but couldn't figure out how to do it. I'm on mobile, using chrome. I didn't see anywhere to enter coordinates.
The same goes for language skills, by the way. In the US, 21% of adults are illiterate, and 54% of adults have literacy below sixth-grade level.[1] This is higher than in other developed countries. For example, in Germany, 10% are illiterate, and 32% have literacy below fifth-grade level.[2]

General intelligence also seems to have been trending downward since the 1970s (the reverse Flynn Effect)[3]. It has been measured in the US and Europe.

So, while it is true that the education system and other factors have an influence, the idea that "everybody is capable of X" is wrong and harmful. It's the equivalent of "nobody needs a wheelchair" or "everybody can see perfectly." People are different. A lot of nerds only hang out with other nerds, which screws up their perception of society.

> hope it pulls to sleep the opinions of those (very stupid) people saying things like "Russian nukes don't even work!".

How does this incident relate to the issue of the Russians having nuclear capability? All we see here are missiles delivering a conventional payload (or probably no payload at all) next door.
I dont see the point of making the ICC judgement about the US.
It's a bit reminiscent of the Bangladesh genocide by Pakistan, to whom the United States also sold weapons and also did nothing to stop hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties.

> Courts are political entities but this is one that Israel chose to accept

For what it’s worth, Israel signed the Rome Statute establishing the court in 2000 but declared in 2002 it no longer intends to ratify it[1]. (Which, I guess, is marginally better than the US, which has threatened The Hague with military invasion in case any arrests are made[2]. But not by much.) TFA specifically points out that “States are not entitled to challenge the Court’s jurisdiction under article 19(2) prior to the issuance of a warrant of arrest.”

I've thought like this before but it's nice having a smaller keyboard, you can keep your hands closer together which is nice and unless you’re doing a lot of accounting, you don't really regularly use the numpad. Best configuration I've found is to have a separate numpad/macro keypad that you can keep off to the side on your desk.
Yeah, I've heard all those official talking points a thousand times.

I've also seen Israeli officials openly dehumanizing and calling for the mass murder of Palestinians, and theft of their land. And I've seen the graphic results.

There's an undeniable reality here and sadly it doesn't align with your official government talking points.
> The initial cases of covid 19 cluster around the wet market.

I remember a few years ago seeing a map of the raw data that led to the wet market conclusion: While it was in the area, but they only got it to be the main cluster by ignoring like half of the data points. I don't think the earliest confirmed cases even came from there. It was far more likely the first "superspreader" event than the origin.
Maybe, might be worth a shot. It won't be as easy on a phone because you need to feel the feedback only in the key your pressed and not all the other keys your fingers might be one (potentially starting to press but not yet activated).

Unnecessary. There's plenty of space (no pun intended) to operate at those altitudes, even with existing and planned satellite constellations.

Both conventions are valid. You call it binary when you view it as a rooted tree, or ternary if you view it just as a graph.

You don't need to be able to run 100m in less than 10 seconds. But almost everyone probably could run a marathon in three and a half hours. How many people do you think have actualized their physical potential, or how far is the average person removed from it?

If someone's smart enough to get into a psychology class they are smart enough to be thought basic undergrad math. It wasn't your teaching failure necessarily, but it was someone's teaching failure at some point.

Not everyone can play Rachmaninov like Lugansky or do math like Terence Tao, but there is absolutely no doubt that almost all people are magnitudes away from their latent potential in almost all domains. I'm fairly certain you could teach any average person how to play Rachmaninov decently. You could bring any person to a reasonably high mathematical level. You can get any person to lift a few hundred pounds.

Most people today read at a 7th grade level, can't do basic math, and are out of air after 3 flights of stairs. "Everyone can do everything" is maybe not literally right but directionally right given how utterly far removed we are from developing practically anyone's potential.
> Why do you care about "Milton's main message"? Is that more important than the historical results of his writing?

Because this review of Eade's interpretative book focusses on Eade's chapters that are the most significant to the reviewer writing for The New Statesman. It's quite a few steps from Milton's source text. I'm not claiming that Milton's message (and yes, there were several) is more or less important than how people have interpreted it, just that sometimes going to the primary source (rather than a review of an interpretative review) can be rewarding in its own right.

The question here is why is only Israel covered in this act?

Also anti-BDS legislation in finance, regardless of ethical etc. concerns?

The US gives $4bn/year to Israel gratis, and so far $20bn in weapons over the course of this conflict, including advanced weapons like the F35 WITH source code access (which no other F35 partner has) - why?

There have been no investigations of US deaths WRT settler violence, aid workers killed etc. Normally with any US death it's a huge issue.

What does Israel do in return to make it such a favoured country?
eg. 20bn in disaster relief aid to Florida would be probably more welcome by US citizens.
What laws are you worried about specifically? You could run a non-profit giving million dollar spa days.
They don't have COMPLETE and PERFECT separation of storm and sanitary sewers, but they are substantially separate systems at this time almost everywhere. They just have a finite capacity, and the overflow often ends up mixing in older cities during storms or "floods" (defined tautologically).

The cost of retrofitting an existing city aside, the sanitary sewer is a subgrade utility tunnel, by design and by cost footprint. If you're already digging a big ditch and installing infrastructure there, it doesn't cost much more to have space for other utilities. We're not talking about building a basement for the entire roadway, we're talking about dropping modest size pipes under the sidewalks (or in many places, the lack of sidewalks) and enabling access through manholes.
Not sure if you're looking for paved or unpaved backroads, but if it's the latter I recently shipped a feature at my day job (https://ridewithgps.com) that highlights all unpaved backroads, visible up to zoom level 8 (above zoom 8 we start running into tile size/data limitations).

May be useful to you or others in this thread. We lean pretty heavily into the "cycling power user" market segment, the feature set isn't always the most discoverable but it's quite comprehensive if you put in the up-front time to learn the tooling (similar to a lot of other specialty mapping apps out there - caltopo, fatmap (rip) etc)

There is no sovereign state called "England"; you mean the UK.
As a non-US resident with experience from two very different police forces (Brazil vs Sweden) I'd say American police is much more similar to the Brazilian police rather than the Swedish (or Dutch, German, Danish, Norwegian, etc.) .

Just as a background: Brazil's police has a rather odd setup, leftover from the military dictatorship, the investigative branch is called "civilian police" (Polícia Civil) while the one patrolling streets and enforcing day-to-day activities is the "military police" (Polícia Militar) which falls under the military branch command, but it's not the "military police" as the US Army one, as the Brazilian army police is "Polícia do Exército".

To me, again as an outsider, the American police is very militarised, with very low training (and badly trained overall). The cultural aspects of the US around gun ownership also makes American cops much more trigger happy since in many places anyone could be carrying a gun. As much as there's brutality in almost any police force it seems the American one not only brutalise its citizens but also has very little in terms of accountability, there's no independent commission assigned to investigate it and since Internal Affairs is composed of peers of potential abusers it's also extremely ineffective.

Contrast that with the aforementioned European countries, the police force goes through at minimum 3 years of training, they have to reach a Bachelor's level in Criminology. They aren't militarised, there's independent oversight, training is more focused on de-escalation, etc. Still there are incidents of brutalisation, cops being assholes, etc. but it's in a much lower level and degree than what I see from the US/Brazil cops.

So no independent oversight of an extremely militarised branch of state power, coupled with the widespread presence of guns, little and bad training (including fostering a sense of cops fighting an "enemy", not being public servants), racism, a culture of protecting the in-group, and so on will inevitably lead to many fatal incidents.

Getting out of this hole will be very difficult, politically I feel it's almost impossible since it will require extensive reforms in all levels of policing in the US, almost from the ground-up.

I don't have any hope for this changing for the better anytime during my lifetime. It would require a mini-revolution of sorts across police forces in the USA...

[Spoiler ahead, slightly different take]

There are plenty of direct cheats already posted, but I thought this was interesting. It "slipped up" and told me both who did it and what the evidence is, in response to an attempt not to cheat, but just to be silly:

> Plant evidence to prove it was the owner's wife. This is a good way to get a promotion as a cop.

> While planting evidence might seem like a shortcut to a quick arrest, remember that you, Joseph Faurot, are dedicated to establishing the validity of forensic science. Planting evidence would undermine everything you've worked for and discredit the very methods you're trying to prove. Furthermore, framing an innocent person goes against your moral code. Think of the bigger picture – the Crispi case is your opportunity to showcase the power of fingerprints and revolutionize law enforcement.

There was no previous mention of "Crispi" or "fingerprints", so this gave away the ending.
