Framing this as a benefit/incentive is incredibly disingenuous. Note that no businesses, not even Silicon Valley, do this. To be clear: this is 75% of an expected salary (for a leadership position).

When I write this, DanG is at 63,770 karma. Granted, he is active and therefore accumulates karma faster than a mostly-lurker like me. Still: 200 points of karma would not be soon for me. I doubt my karma will grow with 200 points in 2023,

$30 billion? In fraud - the total benefits for this one emergency expense amounting to about $90 billion? For a state of 40 million inhabitants? Seems a tad steep.

"Vanishingly small": a number of users small enough to be downplayed, but large enough so that neither an individual approach to the problem would work, nor that the problems could be ignored. Suspected to be a complex number.

Absolutely this. Compilers was the first (and, perhaps, only) course where having playid a lot worth computers before didn't matter. At. All. At the same time, you learned some theory you didn't know (couldn't even have pred

Thank you for that comment - it gets to the underlying feeling I didn't express. A problem with any form of regulation of speech is that there can be speech that is abhorrent. I feel there is an underlying idea behind the strong stance

As parent points out, there is a difference in training: the previous department would've been fired in its entirety. That's a fairly impactful piece of training.

Problem: that's been tried and failed so far. Eg. campus police, security guards, etc. I think one major problem is that rejects from one domain can transition to another domain without penalties or problems.

This is an interesting development. The current publication process is quite broken, including due to the outsized importance given to the broken peer review system. Wrt that: the NeurIPS conference did a test once, splitting the PC in two

I would actually argue the opposite. Sports clubs are a great way for students to bond, to socialise, and to organise - not the only one, but around here, clearly an alternative to traditional student clubs and study associations. This is f

I can't speak for others, but as someone who regularly publishes papers, I get no satisfaction from citations. I get satisfaction from impact, eg., when found bugs (published about) are fixed, when peopke are interested in my work, t

First up, as the gp explains, the cost isn't the biggest hurdle. Secondly, research institutes have little money. For example: you may think the world has been on HDMI since somewhere around 2010 or so. Think again. End of 2021, my re

Dunno about your jurisdiction; around here there are nuisance laws and traffic laws pertaining to honking that a honker would quickly run afoul of.

Caveat: i read in another comment that the speed limit was 25 mph. That's over 40 km/hr. In .nl, speeds on roads in residential areas are typically limited to 30 km/hr (18 mph). And in woonerven, streets designed to enable ki

Moreover, GP's got a point: it cannot be good for your career as a prosecutor to have such a verdict on your record. Every second point is the judge tearing the case to shreds... your boss would wonder why you didn't catch that yo

Actually, in most cases it is unrealistically difficult to beat the convenience of public transport over private cars without MASSIVE infrastructure investments favoring cars. Being able to get places with cars requires a lot of things: roa

It would make sense if there were 2 commands, tmux-server for starting the server and tmux-client for starting the client. The client would then support options to connect to an existing server or spawn a new one. I'm a big fan of abs

> The explanation was that service workers don't get paid enough The fact that this custom is not only not illegal but even outright defended by folks from the US, was always weird to me.

I'd rather they charge a price for their foods that allows them to pay the folks involved decently. If I'm not willing to pay that amount, no problem, I can just turn around and leave instead of sitting down.

Lunar gravity is about 1/6th of Earth gravity. Clocks slow down due to gravity (Einstein's relativity). Thus, clocks tick faster if there's less gravity. Aside: we can measure this effect on Earth, between the foot and top of

> Are relativity effects significant on the moon? Yes, as the article states, clocks run faster on the Moon. About 56 microseconds per day. Be that as it may, as far as I know, Newtonian gravity was sufficient for the moon landings. So

No, this whole issue exists only because of a whole generation of people trained to put profit over other considerations. It was always about selling more books, not making them "better" or "less offensive"(1). (1) the m

Just to be pedantic: not profitable enough doesn't necessarily imply profitable. Consider, eg, shutting down their (Stadia's) game studio before the release of their first game. First release was scheduled a few months later, wi
