Well, it’s not made upon my hometown, and in the few other places I have talked to Hobos and panhandlers, there seems to be something similar in many places. Btw, some panhandlers do quite well. I met a guy back in the 00s that did web design in the early morning at the coffee shop I used to frequent, and in the afternoon he panhandled. He paid $50(us) a day for “his” corner, sat down there in torn up army surplus gear and a rusty propane tank, and his scruffy looking dog, with a sign that said “need money for gas and beer”. He told me that his nightly rake was between 100 and 300 after his “rent”.

I still don’t know which was his side hustle.

Yeah I see this take all the time and it's dangerous, it might have an element of truth but it's definitely dangerously simplistic. You can find advocates of low fat high carb diets also claiming that very low fat intakes improve cancer survivability.

I'm dumbfounded. Our country has always primarily educated people in public schools just as our contemporary first world countries do.

The problems with public education started with "no child left behind" and the odd system of giving less money to under performing schools.

Correct. The USA is recognized as an anocracy for a few years.

(Not that any foreign official will refer to the USA in that way of course)
> In reality manufacturing is about 10%, disposal 5% and the other 85% from running it e.g. fuel and maintenance

I imagine this depends hugely on the kind of vehicle?

Our small [petrol] car cost the equivalent of $10k on the road, including all taxes. It has a tiny engine, four seats, and limited luggage space. It's fairly fuel-efficient (at least when I'm driving).

I've also recently driven a BMW 5 series (booked the cheapest "compact manual" as an airport rental vehicle, got that instead - win!) List price around 10x that of our little car. Nicer ride, of course. Bigger luggage space. Five seats.

Presumably in terms of carbon the BMW's manufacturing costs vastly exceed that of small cars, but is the carbon manufacturing cost linear with either its fuel efficiency or with its price?
Fine, I'll go with your definition. I already pointed out (which you didn't bother to read) that fire-sale of assets before the bancruptcy does not make them out of reach to the collector. Maybe you need yet another definition. Try harder.
Yes, it is well studied that markets are not, in general, predictable but that doesn't mean that you cannot gain an advantage if you can extract some extra meaning, even a tiny one, that is what hedge funds, and other kind of sophisticated trading firms actually do. Here we are saying that they have an extra pattern recognition tool that they can use with a probability rate.
Yes I agree that might be better, although still not perfect because not all parents are equally involved.
I actually really appreciate this comment; our mistake, even after 10 years in business, was to assume "it'll be ok" instead of doing real, proper due diligence on client-provided terms. An easy mistake for small agencies when trying to land a big account!
Wouldnt that just hurt the people prone to addiction? If I'm not addicted to alcohol and a huge tax is implemented then I'll just stop drinking. If I am addicted my problem has just been exacerbated because my addiction is now more expensive. I guess it might stop people from experimenting to begin with.
> and not spend time trying to improve the public schools

> noisy school-is-boring kids sabotaging the classes for everyone.

It seems that those parents realize that if the system does not care about ensuring that kids in school actually learn things, then they better leave than trying to fix the kids of others (i.e., parents who does not care).

I would argue that it is a net positive for those public schools: those parents still pay local taxes while making sure that there are fewer students -> better student/teacher ratio.
That's what they did, and that's what was rejected here, right?

Although it sounds like maybe this was more of a procedural rejection than a dispositive one...
I think of Django's templating system as a great tool for a previous era. I'm hopeful that PEP 750 [1] gets accepted and a modern ecosystem of template engines emerges in Python-land.

You trust Meta? haha I don't think there's any need to spread misinformation. They're one of the worst companies on the planet. Right up there with Nestle.
I think that I responded over Scott's blog but I can respond again perhaps from a different angle. I think it that is important to scrutinize one (major) experiment at a time.

We studied the Google 2019 claims and on the way we also developed tools that can be applied for further work and we identified methodological problems that could be relevant in other cases (or better could be avoided in newer experiments). Of course, other researchers can study other papers.

I don't see in what sense the new results by Google, Quantinuum, QuEra, and USTC are more inarguable and I don't know what experiment by IBM Scott refers to. And also I don't see why it matters regarding our study.

Actually in our fourth paper there is a section about quantum circuits experiments that deserves to be scrutinized (that can now be supplemented with a few more), and I think we relate to all examples given by Scott (except IBM) and more. (Correction: we mention IBM's 127 qubit experiment, I forgot.)
Outside of elite athletes, BMI is good at what it’s for. It’s just an easy way to express the relationship between your weight and height. Everything else requires specialized tools and contains a large margin of error.

It's been over a decade that I have seen crypto in the mainstream space, and I am yet to see any decent adoption for BTC - either online or in the physical world. El Salvador went as far as to mandate everyone to accept BTC as payments, but the public has mostly ignored. Now they are rolling back the mandates.

The "currency" isn't backed by any institution, takes forever to send/receive tokens, has absurd transaction fees, cherry on top, is terrible for the environment. Did we really need an alternative for gold that bad?

Obviously for startups, you're 100% right. Just announce a brief downtime and/or do migrations after-hours. Keep it simple, no one will care if their requests timeout once every week for 30 seconds.

If your company has hundreds of developers making changes across every timezone and downtime (or developers being blocked waiting for scheduled merge windows) costs real money or creates real problems other than optics, something like this or Vitess (MySQL) is definitely worth it.

Engineering should not be a "one-size-fits-all" type of job, and while I do love postgres, my main gripe with the community is that the "keep it simple stupid" mentality persists well beyond its sell-by date in many cases.

Your problem is that nobody cares enough to deal with paying you because maybe someone forgot a purchase order or something. Your solution is to make someone care. Sending a letter to their legal team will make someone care (and they will in turn kick the accounts payable team into action). They will receive letters like this constantly. Your situation is not unique, except for the fact that you’re not taking action.
Dynamic circuit cutting methods for quantum-centric supercomputing

PSA - use a free carrier lookup website to see where your spam calls and texts come from. Mine mostly come from Bandwidth (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_Inc.), Sinch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinch_AB), and other such platforms with APIs. It appears these companies have very poor anti abuse practices. When I contacted them for help they basically refused to reveal how my number was obtained, what their practices were in establishing consent, and did no more than block one specific number each time from contacting me. Sometimes they claimed they’re just a wholesale reseller and have no obligations to take more action. They didn’t even respond to my repeated request to preserve data and communications relating to these repeated abuse cases. These companies should be shut down and their executives should be personally fined.
Can it be that he assumes you have some device that produces somewhat bad magic states and then you distill them into a better one? That would be the typical situation in practice.
I actually did not ask when you should use this but I guess this could just be normal engine off switch that is always used when on ground (just you should never touch it mid air) or maybe something also usefull when when you have some fire-like situation going on. The whole not use when flying as far as I remember was because it can be really hard to get the engine to work again. And the look of the switch conveyed this message really well.

It does seem likely to be true, although apparently, based on its bid, his affiliated company sees $3.5 million worth of extra value in keeping the Infowars brand and structure as opposed to going that route.
For anything weight bearing, I really wouldn't trust it for translation. More than once I've gotten an output that had subtly different meanings or implications than the input. A human translator is going to be significantly more interrogatable here - just as a logical reasoner.

Curiously, in an old tweet Matt praises the openness of the web[1]. I guess this is in response to the bans elsewhere (twitter?); but still, Wordpress was positioned as an open alternative.

> Unfortunately for airlines, passengers don’t package their luggage in nicely uniform cardboard boxes. If they did, then the airlines could benefit directly from the recent takeoff in manipulator tech for warehouses. But airline luggage is way more wacky and irregular. If robots are going to handle it, they need to reason about how to grasp each item, handle its deformability, stack it in a stable way, and do all of this quickly, safely, and reliably.

Curious if you guys have put any thought into seeing if there's an operational change you could introduce to airlines, that would result in the tech side being a lot easier?

Palletizing logistics for consumer airtravel would be interesting...

And I would suggest she's able to go on and on about these particular experiences for so long is that they're genuinely unique experiences with clear flaws and she'd like to thought experiment a way to make them work given the constraints for an audience of interested people, not that she's literally pitching Disney to reopen the Star Wars hotel with her leading the project.

I only ever used ARexx on the Amiga back when I was a kid and it was amazingly powerful, though I'm not sure how much I'd consider this a function of the language itself rather than the ecosystem you got when all of your favourite software was built with it in mind.

Unfortunately, an ecosystem like that doesn't really exist on the desktop any more, so a lot of the utility is missing. Every now and then I feel an urge to try to mimic the sort of thing that you could do in ARexx easily, only on a modern desktop, and end up having to cobble together some D-Bus monstrosity that is not nearly as fun.

cryptocurrency, which operates independently of government control and doesn’t rely on state structures to function.

It magically manifests itself through the ether? It doesn’t rely on profligate amounts of cheap electricity and the infrastructure required to support data centers?

It doesn’t rely on governments that provide a legal and financial system that supports exchange into actual monetary value that the real world requires to operate?

Claiming cryptocurrency doesn’t rely on state structure completely ignores the existing state structures that are required to enable the complex scheme that’s needed to enable its use.

I think you have the right mindset about the most ideal approach, but how-to guides on how to do this *such that* it is only *a few days every few months* to maintain a setup like that are few and far between... as in there aren't any.

Sure - same page, digital sovereignty isn't free, if you want it have to work for it.

But, speaking as a technical securtiy user myself, and have worked with ghidra, I have zero context on how to take the approach you call for that cleanly strips out the bad stuff without buying me, what would feel to be likely, hours upon hours of troubleshooting dependencies for core functionality that I inadvertantly broke due to the surgery... such that I'm back to not carrying a smart device or being ok with a fliphone traingulating me.

One approach I have thought through with effective (I think? still considering this) privacy outcomes is leveraging LLCs and related device plans as a "cloaking" mechanism. If my current phone stays at my house always, I travel locally with a fliphone, and travel with a network of smart phones under LLCs, that could be enough to throw off the tracking effectively while only (maybe?) exposing data that's already exposed in public records.

It's Hacker News. I hate to say it, but this is all the website is known for at this point. Bring it up in passing conversation with the in-crowd and you'll get laughed out of the room for using "Orange Site" and fraternizing with drug-addled Elon worshipers and "soloprenuers" that beg for recognition for their dogshit SaaS product. The score has been known for years, the political leaning of Hacker News is basically the same as the "curious individuals" that inform themselves via JRE and random X accounts from Russia.

The people using Hacker News are regularly a stone's throw away from the sort of people that use 4chan. Except Hacker News has usernames and karma so it tends to create cults of personality around people that say what people want to hear.
You seem to think that only a concrete and signed membership plan is a red line,

It's the only one that the commenter was referring to.

Whereas even CNBC cites Putin's red lines.

Except you're shifting goal posts. The "red lines" referred to by the CNBC are entirely different (and separated by 13 years) from those referred to by the previous commenter. And anyway that's just CNBC's misreading of the events. Suffice it to say there was a lot more to Putin's noises at the time. More specifically, by that point the West did not (as you are strongly implying) have the option of deterring the invasion by simply complying with some specific, reasonable request Putin was making.

The only thing we really know about whichever of Putin's supposed "red lines" were supposedly crossed (thus "causing" this whole thing) is that no one seems to be able to articulate what they supposedly were.

And then we have this:

given the propensity of the Western media to call anyone and anything "fascist"

There is no such "propensity" within Western media. Or any other significant tendency. This is just complete nonsense.
