@matthewdgreen theoretically profs chafe at the admin substate in academia ... So with the situation as stated in the article how should we weight the explanatory reasons: * Profs lost institutional control imposed on them, and can't g

Let me summarize the article another way: consumers are ill informed and don't have the power to leverage their spend like we do buying cars or groceries or tech. American healthcare is another one. If I was a US president I'd hav

Complexity is an enabling friend for criminals and the incompetent. And lobbyists. The executive branch has got work with the legislative branch to eliminate ways to draw out prosecution to play for time. Second, consider this comment filed

Agree. The guy provides engineering know how and we're pigeon dropping all over it for bureaucratic dorkish nonsense? You gotta have an attention span that separates noise from value

The amount of money requested won't be granted, and is typically significantly reduced on appeal. Yet this case stands out as a special case of tragedy. In the gun happy state of TX grown men with weapons stood around while kids were m

I wasted 1hr over ThanksGiving arguing about bc/crypto with an encon major. Man, I'd like that hour back. Let me conclude my sense of things this way: there's a great one-liner comic at scmp.com no less with a broke crypto gu

This is silly. When your $2000/month doesn't give you $2000/month value for all the stuff it has ... Feel write to write a complete replacement or complain to sales. Complaining isn't an argument, so you prob won't

Oh c'mon. Anybody who's anybody who wants to pay the terminal fee can play too. As far as I understand it, sales/marketing at Bloomberg like it that way. Thou does protest too much.

Thanks for reply/insight. I much prefer the Cambridge approach. Still I might offer this Wulf like reply. I liked the mention of "banality of corporate life." This is something that me hit lately. Manufacturing is more exciti

I've had both. But after your 28th phone, 4th for wife (cause they never lose or break em) and 609th one for kids, the thrill wore off a line time ago. Phones are a blur. Nonetheless I'm pretty sure apple would not want to hear X

100% right. I just watched an OJ Simpson trial documentary. From that making the small point being famous brings perception then perception management... Which goes fast to nowhere. Fixing Twitter can't start with loc and the new owner

Ordering stuff not middle management. I seriously doubt an AI claiming MM know how could produce a 3-10 page telling me what it is. And unless AI replaced all the staff, I'd wanna be in the room to see NFW looks from people getting man

I wouldn't be surprised to read this for Iraq, Russia, NK. But I would have thought China is more serious about and competent about projecting internal harmony. Surely, if there was some beef it'd be resolved off camera and not so

Why? Either (1) you have so much c++ that moving it rust is a waste of money; we have 10s of millions loc (2) you need access to 3rd party lib in the eco system not native rust (3) c/c++ builds are a pain in the butt. Even if one was s

Crypto? oh c'mon: fiat money is still the bottom line here. 90% of all interest in crypto would disappear today if they thought for a moment there was no way to turn it into cash.

If C++ could, and I think with some respect and acknowledgement to others as having gotten it better, adopt two improvements: * library/language side: some domain of bullet proof memory * compiler/language side: move build depende

Suppose I had an implementation for a (MT safe) all in memory KV store based on tries, for example where the memory overhead is low -- certainly lower than hashing. Is this something I can plug into FDB? You write "giant hash map that

What caught my eye: "In-memory computing (a.k.a processing-in-memory or compute in memory) refers to having the processing or computation inside the memory (such as the RAM). Some time ago, before this was done at the chip level, it ha
