tldr, most of technology in rural Ghana was considered magic, like phones and tvs, and the only explanation was that it came from "the white man". The chief had recently died and for most of the time I was the only caucasian person in the region, and i met many that had never seen a caucasian person before. The locals started joking by greeting my as the king, the joke picked up and soon most were greeting me as the king. I always though it was a joke, and went a long with it. However, one day I was summed by the neighbouring regional kings and the elders of the village I lived in. After chatting for 30 minutes in the local language, they were convinced that the dead chief's spirit had entered me and they asked in english, "So, do you want to be our king?", I asked what it meant, one person said, I would be given 4 wives and they would slaughter a goat and pour the blood over me, another said I should ask the king of Sweden what it meant, every person said a different thing. I sat there utterly confused, but thought to myself, yolo. So I agreed. I still feel like it was a dream, a surreal experience. The anointing ceremony was a lot of fun, since many of the people in the village were christians, the dropped many of the accent rituals since they were considered unethical under Christianity. There were a hundred or so people, many of the regional kings attended, they offered me a new outfit, a tunic, carved a chair out of wood that only chiefs can sit on, lots of music, dancing, and regional ceremonial aspects. Here's a pic from the ceremony: https://imgur.com/fNd55hB
> The consequence is that performing any analysis with an assumption that ZIP codes are polygons is bound to be error-prone.

Yeah, but any analysis you're likely to perform is approximate enough that the fact that ZIP codes aren't polygons is basically a rounding error.

Plus, it's a lot easier to get ZIP codes, and they're more reliably correct, so you might still get better results, than you would going with another indicator that is either (a) less reliable or (b) less available.

Exactly, DC is used for those links that would otherwise be out of synchronization. In Canada one of the DC links goes from the North American grid on the British Columbia Lower Mainland in Delta via a single underwater cable over to Vancouver Island. The water is the other conductor, and also keeps the cable cool.
The "European" grid also expands to northern Africa[0]. The Wikipedia map is a little weird, because I remember doing consulting for an energy company at the time the two Danish grids were combined. I suppose it has to do with transmission capacity, but technically Denmark can route power from west to east (the other way is typically less useful as the majority of the power generation is in the west). Western Denmark also has cable running to at least Sweden and so does Germany, so why it's not viewed as one network seem strange.

The "grocery store" problem is something I've been thinking about for a while, since it has two problems:

- There are tons of grocery stores (efficiency of processing all of those)

- Not all grocery stores are the same (supermarkets vs pricey luxury stores vs bodegas)

I've been thinking of mass processing one-time then allowing the user to super-impose pre-made heatmaps onto thier existing heatmap.

> Might as well start with Trump doing some slashing and burning. We will have build up from the ground up again.

Well, there's two ways to get a balanced budget.

1) You could increase the tax rate as was done for pretty much every single other war. This of course is not going to happen.

2) You have to lower expenses. The problem with this is that we know the US Budget and unless you cut anything from the big 3 (Defense, Social Security, Medicaid) you cannot have a balanced budget. The deficit is about ~1.75 Trillion per-year. Federal Employee Salaries is about 320 Billion/yr so you'd literally have to fire everybody and stop all non-big 3 spending (~1.5 Trillion) to have a balanced budget this way.

This is the problem, the approach is just not going to work and is going to cause a bunch of problems for the economy as it's enacted.
Legit chuckle from me!

Also, "use a different grid" is only masking the problem, not actually fixing it.

The real problem is ever using an average without also specifying some sort of bounds. For median-based data, this probably means the upper and lower quartiles (or possibly other percentiles); for mean-based data, this probably means standard deviation.

Nah, the thermal time constant is a low-pass filter on the order of .01Hz, all of the line frequencies in this thread are waaaay higher than the control loop bandwidth. The loop would never notice the substitution.

You might be able to trip up a fancy soldering iron where loop bandwidth is intentionally maximized, but I still suspect the first thing to go would be the magnetics on anything with a transformer.
The cxx crate offers partial interop between C++ and Rust - for example, it wraps the C++ unique_ptr (the "take a pointer you have to delete and make it a smart pointer" abstraction) so Rust can make use of it appropriately. It's nowhere near complete, but they do welcome patches and issue reports. Anyway, this isn't even all that relevant to Circle and Safe C++, that can potentially share more with C++ than Rust does, such as avoiding a separate heap abstraction so that Safe C++ might be able to free objects that were allocated in legacy C++ code, etc.

It's the problem with 3rd / 4th level articles, that is, 1st level is a scientific paper, 2nd is a press release, 3rd / 4th are the media and popular science outlets. It's how you get from some numbers / statistics representing a slight dimming in a distant star to artist's renditions of verdant blue/green exoplanets.

But the scientific papers aren't interesting on their own, they need explanation first so people know what it entails, then entertainment so people get interested. Or in this case, provoke outrage so that they get people upset and reacting to it.
This kind of thing makes me furious. I know there’s the EFF but what can someone concerned with privacy advocacy do in the face of these kinds of things? Are there orgs and political movements that are out there already? Privacy is a human right. IMO it’s one of the big issues of our time.
Yeah, different geo analysis providers have different weightings for travel time (turns, street density, etc). It can sometimes lead to inconsistencies like this, especially if they don't use GPS and proprietary data to correct things...
So you agree that your argument has shifted from complaining about inadequate disclosure that coffee contains caffeine, to complaints about lack of decaf offerings.

It would also be trivial for google and facebook to turn off all ads and logging of your activity. They would need to do strictly less than they do now. It would benefit all users too!

In CF case they would have to build a completely different infrastructure to detect bots using different technology to what they have now, including different ways around false positives for legitimate users. While perhaps nothing new in the sense that you claim “this is possible”, i see no one else offering this mythical “possible” product.

Not a very impressive example yet, it's mainly there for our CI system[1] to ensure that no one accidentally breaks the meshlet feature, but there is an example you can run to get a basic idea of the feature.

You can download Bevy https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy, and run `cargo run --release --examples meshlet --features meshlet`. After it compiles you'll get prompted to download a bunny.meshlet_mesh file. Click the link to download and create and place it in the appropriate folder, and then run the example again.

There's also this video from the Bevy 0.14 release notes demonstrating it, but performance/quality has improved a _lot_ since then: https://bevyengine.org/news/bevy-0-14/many_bunnies.mp4

I see leadership wanting to move with current politic climate and when they go to implementing things not really caring who they hire other than who is going to make their lives easier. That then results in hucksters, con artists, selling their services, quick fixes, cookie cutter solutions, to those leaders who then get what they wanted, fitting in with the current political climate, not real fixes which are often hard, can have unknown risks and timelines.

Blame bad leadership, blame hucksters, and con artists, that is where I lean.

One of the things that didn't make it is the entire request control dashboard. No more granular reporting or controls, at all. No more "medium mode" or "hard mode" (blocking unknown domains by default and making exceptions as you go). Sure, if you didn't use it before, you won't miss it.
If we could magically pick a frequency and voltage for electrical systems to use (without sunk costs), what would it be?

What's the most efficient for modern grids and electronics?

Would it be a higher frequency (1000hz)?

I know higher voltage systems are more dangerous but make it easier to transmit more power (toaster ovens in the EU are better because of 240v). I'm curious if we would pick a different voltage too and just have better/safer outlets.
All of these are valid, but would this not equally apply to a linux dev stamping their feet and obstructing other people's work because they don't like rust?
I read it as using Russia and China as the other guys, rather than the bad guys. The idea is to eliminate any pre-existing feelings of trust and illustrate the fact that once your data is held by anyone in the global intelligence community you should think of it as being held by everyone in the global intelligence community.

There isn't really a something else. You have bad laws that are in practice only enforced against the little guy. You could demand they also be enforced against the big guy, but that's hard to do when they're bad laws, isn't really a great outcome because they're bad laws, and its primary benefit would be in service of calling attention to the flaw so the bad laws can be repealed. And then maybe you should just start there to begin with.
Interesting, so the 2 new belts (fields) are closer than the 2 stable existing belts (Van Allen Belts) that shield us from radiation.

These fields could affect the launch and operation of satellites. Or maybe they will help shield us further? Or affect our atmosphere in some way? To be studied...

It’s not based on tourism, it’s based on services, which includes tourism but isn’t dominated by it.

But regardless, it’s exactly because it’s hard to define relevance that I was challenging the original comment, which said, without explaining what it meant by this, that the U.K. is no longer relevant.

Regardless of your feelings about this Apple issue, it just seems like an absurd thing to say about a country that’s a large economy (even if wealth is concentrated in one region), has decent cultural exports, is a nuclear power, sits on the UN Security Council, etc.

It’s exactly because it can throw its weight around with Apple, and people are treating it seriously, that it clearly is relevant. If it was some tiny nation doing it, it would just provoke amusement.

> how they intend to secure this "vault" against the current government

Definitely a concern, if they want to harass Harvard and the other universities they could, but I don't think they'll bother. They know the data will be backed up, that's not the point.

Taking it off of data.gov accomplishes two things:

1) Makes it look like they're doing something, playing to the base. Easy to do

2) Delegitmize any insights the data might have. "Sure you have 'data', is it official data? I don't see it on data.gov. How do we know its not fraudulent?" It makes it harder to use it to justify policy changes. It adds one more tool to the denial crowd.

I do think conflate praxeology (the study of human action) and Von Mises's preferred methods of studying it. Von Mises didn't hold any views on economics that wouldn't be acceptable in the mainstream and didn't really have any objections on mainstream economics during his lifetime.

I do really like they way von Mises broke down the human action and it is related studies. It is different to study what person should strive for (ethics), why people strive for something (psychology) and how people can attain the goals they have chosen (economics).

The understanding that economics is not science that can and should not do value judgement is a great contribution. Scholars are free to offer they ideas about ethics, but it is a different discipline.

On this background you should look with his criticism against socialism. He doesn't say that goals of socialism are bad. He just points out that tools and processes advocated cannot achieve the stated goals. And he had fairly great concrete criticism about socialism in his 1920 book "Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis". This predated the great Soviet Union and Chinese socialism experiments, which haven't proved him wrong.

Von Mises was not so advocating about creating theories that don't stand the test of real world. His aim was always to understand real world phenomenon. His rejection was about using tools that don't work with humans. Physics and chemistry are governed by constants like gravity, electromagnerical force, weak and strong nuclear forces that allow you to use advanced mathematics to study them and isolate these constants. Economics do have laws as strong as laws of motion, but you cannot find these the same way as human action is variable.

I do get same feeling about Richard Feynman. For him it seems that you needed to have a mental model first about a problem, before trying to model it with mathematics. [1]

You cannot progress without insight and you cannot have insight without interaction with real world. Theories only have value if they can affect actions in the real world. And there is a lot of ways outside of p-values how to allow that feedback from the real world to affect you. And this is something I feel that all of those people intuitively understood. :)

hm maybe juxtapose a number of examples in one precedence and then the other? and share them to gather feedback?

also,

* colon as member of a character class (and dash and how they interact)

* posix character classes (and the colon in the syntax)

* word boundaries are really useful in practice

* think of ünicøde early and look at what russ cox did there

boundaries, what do you decide to exclude? for example back references and grouping have fun with DFAs (again see russ cox and re2)

composition is fantastic, and a shortcut to exponential land because grammars (as in Chomsky hierarchy) can easily be expressed with transducers, yay.

boundaries will also clarify use cases and allow to state: "if you want to do xyz please use re2 and a bit of code instead"

and one "technicality" that hit me once with re2 was a static buffer for resumable iteration. I'd loved to reallocate the buffer and drop it's beginning and extend it at the end but alas, the state of re2 has hard pointers into the buffer, not relative ones. I think this was when re2 hit the end of the buffer mid-expression during incremental parse. so you can't reallocate and instead you have to drop the hard earned state and resume.

anyhow, it's been quite a while so I'm no longer in the thicket of this :-D

what's your driver? curiosity? or some itch?
