There is a right order in which to do these things:

1) enable space harvesting of energy and minerals,

2) unleash growth.

Doing 2) first as we are is just planetary-scale suicide.

We should even first concentrate on 0) figure out how to preserve the biosphere liveability, and stick to these rules.

"The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as criminal offense" Edsger Dijkstra, 1975.
1. <- I think this is a good thing to focus on, and even lightly touched on in the video. The idea should be that you don't _need_ to be sophisticated to enjoy the sport. The NFL does well in this regard because it's pretty easy to understand that moving the ball forward is good, losing the ball is bad.

Where basketball misses there is that the "get the ball in the hoop" portion of that is _really_ boring now. I'd wager that people don't want to be concerned with some 3rd man setting a screen on the other side of the court allowing some 2nd man to set up behind a pick from a 4th man to get passed the ball from the 1st man to shoot a three... and then clank it off the rim. Then, rinse and repeat on both ends. The end result is that the "get the ball in the hoop" part just feels like a back-and-forth 3-point shootaround, even though the actual sequence is far more complex.
What would the value of crashing a bunch of cargo planes be?

One plane could be believed to be an accident / inconclusive. So you crashed one plane, that's not getting you much.

Many planes would ... what? Again you don't get much if you crash a bunch of cargo planes, even passenger planes. It would be destructive and disruptive and horrible, but not crippling to any nation. The scale of being a pariah nation would just increase. What do you get out of that if you're Russia?

As an electronics guy I have to say that even if you code perfectly, your system can still fuck up, because your assumption is wrong. E.g. I had a project physically tear itself apart, because apparently when the USB-cable was disconnected in just the right moment the servo would interpret the cut off PWM pulse as a position clue, one that just by code alone should be unreachable.

What we learn from that is that even well written code cannot guarantee everything and you need physical fallbacks like end-switches that remove power from the servos if activated (and whoever thought pulse length is a reliable way to set servos is probably wrong).

Problem is, locally, a zero-sum game can look quite non-zero-sum (as opposed to globally). And perhaps vice versa too (in time scales, eg universally)

In your opinion.
Generally speaking workers in the USA are anti-union. Or at least see them with suspicion. They are widely perceived as a waste of money on dues and just plain kinda unpleasant to deal with.

This isn't true for all types. Like welders and pipe fitters tend to like unions, but by and large if unions don't exist it is because nobody (including the workers) wants them.

They also don't really like what they perceive as "leftists" either. They much more strongly prefer to identify with somebody like Trump then somebody writing for a Marxist online website.

There are exceptions to this, of course. Like if you live in a large city, especially predominately "Blue" area you are going to see a lot of people running around trying to advocate for unions and such things.

But that isn't normal for the rest of the country.

There is a lot of literature spent discussing this sort of thing... Why American workers are largely very conservative.

Back in the 1960/70s when student groups went around in working class areas of the country and tried to organize labor... a lot of them ended up hospitals as a result of their efforts. This is why Marxists don't go around making murals about the greatness of the working men anymore.

I'd like to reframe your question just a bit.

Instead of "At the current overhead spending rates, has the research been effective enough?", I think the question should be "At the current indirect rates, has the research been supported enough?". My proposed reframing is because the indirect costs are meant to cover the costs of supporting the research.

A side node: If you're interested in gauging the effect of a particular NIH grant, the NIH RePORTER site is your friend: Any publication that is grant-supported will mention this in the acknowledgments. For example, our SGI UV300 (360 CPU cores, 10TB RAM, 20TB PCIe flash, and 4 NVIVIA P100s) was funded thanks to NIH grant S10 OD023452. If you search that ID in RePORTER, you'll get https://reporter.nih.gov/project-details/9273288: Towards the bottom of the page, you'll find a list of publications (that the NIH was able to find) that used the UV300. With funding in FY17, the machine's past end-of-life and the funding's ended (it was one-time funding, with a 5-year (I think) lifespan), but publications are still coming in.

One thing that's worth noting: The grant had no indirect costs. The money went straight to SGI (they were acquired by Hewlett Packard Enterprise in November 2016, and were still being absorbed). The UV300 is not a "set it and forget it" machine. It's not 'cattle'. So, where did the money come from to run the UV300, and answer questions of researchers who (for example) have never heard of "NUMA"?

The money to pay the supporting folks (sysadmins, etc.) came, indirectly, from the researchers: The S10 grant was structured such that the majority of time on the UV300 was for folks doing work under NIH grants. The indirect portion of those NIH grants is what helped fund the sysadmins (like me) who kept (and still keep) the UV300 up and running.

I think grant-funded research is supported enough if…

1. The facilities researchers use (buildings, equipment, network, compute, etc.) are available enough (they are online for some % of the year)

2. Researchers are able to get technical assistance (for the buildings, equipment, network, compute, etc. that they use) in a reasonable amount of time.

What values should be used for "available enough" and "reasonable amount of time"? Honestly, I'm not sure, and since I've got 'skin in the game' my guesses would probably be too generous towards me. Plus, Goodhart's law applies here.

You are misunderstanding. Both VAT and sales tax are only paid by the end consumer. The main difference is that VAT is progressively collected at each production step whereas sales tax is only collected during the final transaction to the end consumer.

If a good is exported, no VAT nor sales tax is due in the export country. But because some VAT has already been collected in the earlier production stages, that VAT needs to be returned to the exporter. No sales tax will have been collected at the time a good is exported, hence there is none to return.

In both cases, the end result is that no VAT or sales tax is paid in the export country. Hence the situation is completely the same.

Corporate taxes are orthogonal to this discussion. Both US and EU have them and they apply to corporate profits, independently on if they derive from exports or domestic sales. So no reason to complicate the discussion by bringing them up.
Russia collapses and then what? A hot war between The Axis of China and NATO Co. & Sons? Trump & Xi Jinping divi up the lands and build The Great Wall of Russia.

That's largely because the power of unions was destroyed in the 1970s by Ronald Reagan, he set the example and playbook that all modern union breaking corporations today follow.

There was also the many precedents set during the height of judicial activism, which is why we, arguably, don't have a rule of law anymore today, but mostly it was the breaking of PATCO by Reagan.
I’d say it goes back considerably further than the 1970s.

That wasn't my experience when I traveled there 3 years ago, and I walked around quite a bit.

My biggest complaint was the lack of good local restaurants, even in big cities. The juice bars were pretty great though. Still miss wood apple.

Another issue was the insanely reckless driving and incessant honking. Even with the plentiful metal bars and hand straps, trying to stand on a crowded bus while they fly around mountain curves is a total body workout.

I really don’t get it. What is the story? Should the employer be shamed for not keeping home/private contact information for all employees? Or is the job of those employees so vital that they could never be considered for firing? The article does not state what their actual occupations are.

But there's no point in performing such an experiment.

As I already explained, this is only non-deterministic in classical mechanics. And the world is quantum. It is an entirely theoretical distinction to begin with. It does not require experimentation.

Nevertheless, you can construct such a dome the same as you can construct a sphere. It's just a regular old geometric shape.
Essentially an escalatory action in response to US support in order to signal their seriousness about their territorial expansion.

- https://github.com/jjleng/copilot-proxy

When I tried a few weeks back I was only able to get the latter to actually process requests, but haven't had a chance to look into it much further yet... first one's probably your best bet

All government spending is a waste, as it should be. Governments should not be in the business of making profit, after all they are bad at it. They are in the business of creating the “raw materials” for wide development like infrastructure, educated citizens, research, ensuring fair game (by legislating and enforcing), protecting their resources with military. The more left wing folks, are also interested in providing directly for the ones in need.

As long as the spending is in these directions is good for the country, KPIs be damned.
You're acting as if the 20-somethings were holding the reins. They absolutely were not -- they were looking to the higher-ups for guidance and authority. The term 'banality of evil' comes to mind in regard to the limited knowledge the underlings had and how firmly they were held under control by those directing their actions.

But yes, the parties have different definitions of waste, and the Republicans were voted in by voters so they get to determine what is waste right now.

Can’t you see how the system is supposed to work? It’s not one person determining waste, it’s voters electing Trump who then determines what is waste.

> […] self-directed learning.

And this is whom I ended up hiring – young engineers with curious minds, who are willing to self-learn and are continuously engaged in the self-learning process. I also continuously suggest interesting, prospective, and relevant new things to take a look into, and they seem to be very happy to go away, pick the subject of study apart, and, if they find it useful, incorporate it into their daily work. We have also made a deal with each other that they can ask me absolutely any question, and I will explain and/or give them further directions of where to go next. So far, such an approach has worked very well – they get to learn arcane (it is arcane today, anyway) stuff from me, they get full autonomy, they learn how to make their own informed decisions, and I get a chance to share and disseminate the vasts of knowledge I have accumulated over the years.

> How can one claim to have a B.Sc. in our field without understanding how […]

Because of how universities are run today. A modern uni is a commercial enterprise, with its own CEO, COO, C<whatever other letter>O. They rely on revenue streams (a previously unheard-of concept for a university), they rely on financial forecasts, and, most important of all, they have to turn profits. So, a modern university is basically a slot machine – outcomes to yield depend entirely on how much cash one is willing to feed it. And, because of that, there is no incentive to teach across the areas of study as it does not yield higher profits or is a net negative.
Makes me wonder if those also applies to professional chefs and cleaners. And do daycare staff need to declare time spent taking care of their own children?
