Self righteous nonsense.
It does matter. I would suggest, that it would be compelling to stop with the deterministic statements that are equivocations to fit your own narrative. What "less" means or what "starvation" means, is information that would be helpful. Given the multiple vectors that compose the general term "nutrition", we can be sure that less intake is more effective for losing weight. Then going on to say "pretty damn easy" is insulting. Most people aren't informed enough to make measured political decisions (many state initiative cycles in the US have shocking consequences), choosing what to eat and how much is an impracticable behavior.
Your assurances that you know what the NSA (or proxy) would reason is laughable, for example. You have a view that he's a bad actor and it doesn't matter to me, other than it's a trivial thought experiment to justify his actions. GL
I've interviewed hundreds of people in Southern California, some who came out of google (does give signing bonuses) or Amazon (rarely signing bonus) and it has happened that Blizzard tempted some people with a little bonus...but these are uncommon.
People who jump company to company (google to amazon and back) don't get bonuses (as rehires), although that's outside the topic of "new grads".
> There can be other facets of a company that should influence your decision, such as what type of healthcare they offer,
Almost universally, company health care SUCKS. Look for major medical. If it's not there, don't bother. Save yourself the 7$ a month they will rebate you, if you opt-out. JPMorgan? Trash. Experian? Trash. etc
> What the 401k matching looks like
This is important. Generally % of paycheck up to a limit. It does take a chunk from your paycheck, which is you saving for yourself.
> whether they offer a mega backdoor Roth, whether they allow auto-sell of your vested stocks, whether there’s an employee stock purchase plan, and whether they offer free food or gym.
This is all marginal and rare in my experience. Other than a little gym you can pay for or some snacks (which will eventually be abused and changed if the company is growing) or Kombucha on tap or whatever is not a consideration for me.
1. Removing plausible deniability. "Well we might be deeply involved in domestic surveillance but we certainly don't do it outside the US!". The laws that enabled the NSA to do the surveillance were attributed to accessing data that traveled outside the US.
2. Demonstrating the power and reach for legitimacy/plausibility.
I'm sure I can come up with more than the first 2 minutes it took to assemble this post.
Other non-tech businesses, hell EVERY business that I've ever worked in that used AWS did better per transaction - healthcare, digital advertising, virtual office tooling, gaming. If you can't do better than a credit card processing fee per paid customer interaction across the company on AWS, you might as well be selling retail goods...and depending on age, your company might be soon.
A similarity with oil? I think it's a forgone conclusion that politically unstable places are ripe for becoming stable under whatever guise a mining nation chooses. The profits must flow.
I guess that depends on what you consider "weather" If I said "ground temperature", would it matter to the discussion? 60C (140F) was the Average temp in the triassic. With the amount of water in the air plus the carbon dioxide, I expect to see that in places a couple generations after I die...which is the time period I've referenced (political instability).
The highest ground temperature recorded was 201 degrees at Furnace Creek on July 15, 1972, according to the National Park Service. The maximum air temperature for that day was 128. All types of bad things happen at that point. Water evaporates rapidly at 150, so who cares where the water comes from. It's gone or containers rupture as it turns gaseous. What temperature the air is, doesn't matter.
This "debate" about what to do is always toothless and desperate and pointless until the death toll starts to mount. Even then, the wealthy will make the same old arguments about irresponsibility and willful ignorance of those with nothing, blaming the victims, which seems to work generation after generation...until finally we get multinational instability and with smaller populations, some semblance of change too late (eg states of the USSR) to recover from the devastation. What's the mini-state of lower california going to do about 150 degree weather and no water? Nothing.
> It doesn't make any sense, they aren't equal, they aren't proportional.
That's not relevant. You increase one, you increase the other. [1]The equality symbol is not a literal equality. In a macro sense, it's a relationship that is directly correlated as opposed to equal in any sort of specific calculus.
> The first error is that at some point you use that the volume is "equal" (proportional?) to the entropy, but this relation is wrong.
You missed the point, which was initially:
> Here’s another way in which the analogy falls flat.
> So what do we make of all those thermodynamic relations that include volume, like Boyle’s law
Callendar was making his core argument that the entropy of a black hole is not expressed as a function of volume in one sense - because there's an assumption of quantum mechanics that take over, as you say it's "wrong" following the unproven "black hole thermodynamics" models ... but in another sense (Bekenstein–Hawking) there is a paper describing how surface area is a function of entropy. So this looks like a dichotomy since the surface area (which can tell you the entropy) can tell you the volume of a sphere, but volume of a black hole sphere isn't used to correlate to the entropy...so there's a dichotomy that is related to breaking laws (equivalence doesn't mean anything and it's all nonsense). Basically there's an assumption that beyond the event horizon we assume that the rules of physics break down into something new, although the black holes (theoretically per Bekenstein–Hawking) exhibit what a classical physicist would expect. Why not treat the black hole as if it has entropy as per the classical physics models, since it exhibits that quality already and see what insights that yields, rather than a whole new branch of thermodynamics that are necessarily exotic theory?

See [1]
I have rephrased the position and I think maybe you should have a talk with the originator ([email protected]) if you are still confused.
Hiring someone just to review your code is not a sane business decision, so you might want to think about how you overvalued that aspect. I would be very surprised if someone could make a business out of 3rd party code reviews, but stranger things have happened.
How? If there is no system of parts, there is no entropy. I'm not sure why you have a "black hole" as an example, when you talk about the entropy of a black hole afterward and it's has not been concluded that black holes violate the second law. You have failed to give an example and I think it's important to at least clarify your statement.
> First, Boyle's law is a law for ideal gases (that can be applied somewhat correctly to real gases). It can't be applied to solids, it can't be applied to liquids, it can't be applied to a photon gas, it can't be applied to black holes.
He didn't say that Boyle's law applied to black holes. He was expounding on the initial point you objected on. If you have a system of parts, it has a volume.
> Trying to apply it to black holes shows a completely lack of understanding of the subject.
You're being disingenuous by not even attempting to understand the assertion and then attacking every logical conclusion as if that means something. He has an understanding, even if you think it's wrong.
> Is volume, which is length times area, really length times entropy?
To your first point, it's semantics when you drop the constants. This isn't some obscure way of speaking and he uses it generously.
To your second point, he didn't.
This was a generalization of the concept expanded to how you calculate the event horizon of a black hole. A sphere's surface area can be calculated from the length of the radius (ie A=4πr2).
(from google) S/V = 3/R 4πr2/Volume = 3/r or Area/3/radius = Volume
So the interpretation is volume = Area x 1/length or Area x Length (ie radius) when dealing with the variants.
A x c^3 / 4Għ = Entropy (Bekenstein–Hawking formula) and dropping all the invariants (A = E) we get Area = Entropy So the volume of a black hole (given it has entropy) could be the volume of the black hole (Area x Length) = Entropy and since we can get area from Length, we can drop the invariants and we get Length = Entropy with constants and invariant proportions.
The Pareto principle applies, regardless of UBI. High performers will emerge naturally, regardless of the system. Manipulation of systems is an element of their prominence.
The Pareto principle remains. Wealth is measured. Ergo, there will always be people who maintain a network of wealth that far exceeds the norm.

All these issues were at the forefront of the "discussions". The strategy to upsell technological improvements to struggling schools, was a simple way to by pass skepticism. Might as well try something new?
I don't remember specific "Powerful Educators" looking to boost student scores, via a massive monetary investment, but someone had to sign off. There were a few newsworthy failures and no demonstrable good...although it's a little early to tell. I found that my early exposure to computers when I was six, led in to my current career. So there may not be any conclusions for decades.
Other proponents included vendors like Apple (iPads for everyone in a Los Angeles school, lol) and politicians, who were either bribed or philosophically sold (if there's a difference). Again, this wasn't a scientific decision and one-off school trials are VERY difficult to get past entrenched interests like regulators and unions via equivalence challenges (ie if it's good enough for 1 school it's good enough for all, right? Oh so you're experimenting on these kids but not these?).

There are hints with the theme of the Emperor being played at times. The sounds of his laughter haunt her visions, along with her distinctive fighting style and power.
Abrams is a hack and he's just gonna say she absorbed the dark and light or something wacky.
It exists on my computer right now (didn't use an actual admanager, just coded a remote call). You want to believe the gun pointed at the door with a string on the trigger and doorknob is not a danger because you don't want to open the door. Good luck with whatever.
ie Consequently, a successful endeavor (subject to this principle) is one where every possible deficiency has been avoided.
The semantics matter because of subjective interpretation. "I think" and "should" and "the majority of subgroup x" are not usually correlated to be the same thing, even though they seem like "semantics". The first is clear (why do you think that?, is rarely asked), the second undefined (should doesn't have a qualification) and the third subject to investigation (based on what evidence?).
I have found that morality is less often an influential factor (spaces vs tabs, fight) than the words like "should" and "ought" are used. YMMV
I could make it without any effort via:

Currently it's "manually curated" which is a fancy way of saying, it's my own custom ad-tag that doesn't call an adserver. Replacing one field with a function that is immediately called and getting your value out, is how most people would integrate an ad-tag.
Using DFP or whatever, you can plug in an adtag call and parse values and you're in business. Ad platforms don't usually support plaintext tags, but I have seen them still supported by some of the older "native ad" platforms who started as platforms that served HTML strings (Taboola, etc).
The takeaway is that NPM nipped it in the bud because it's trivial to abuse.
Reading the code of the NPM package will not typically help with understanding what it's going to do, because of the ad ecosystem, which guarantees running code you have never seen.
I could understand banning dynamic ad injection and telemetry. My ethical line would be if a package manager were to ban static links/symbols displayed in a README and that's not what NPM aims for, so it's fine by me.
I don't know. Probably something to do with the majority of the US population liking the USPS but not everyone wanting more military spending.
> Why shouldn't they do the same "fiscally responsible" thing for veterans benefits?
Probably because congress would never approve another 20%+ on top of the current military spending and still get all their pork in. These topics are an amalgam of political decisions as well as leadership decisions.
I vote for more accountability, reliability and term limits in government. That's rarely a topic from either major party.
Having more money in the bank than you take out for a car loan is fiscally responsible. Not exactly. More than. That's WITHOUT your holdings (bank account balance) being subject to market forces, which is a compelling reason.
That's not how the Federal government works. It's a LARGE organization that sometimes have people with philosophies align. There is no chance that the military would prefund pensions. I think that, toward the initiative to make the USPS free of subsidy now and in the future, it made perfect sense. The USPS workers used to talk about everything moving electronic, but that's not happening in our lifetime. 50 years is just "the near future", respectively.
