I mean, it _could_ be the job. But a lot of older doctors feel like the younger generation needs to go through the same struggles and hardships they did. This reminds me of something I occasionally see in my parenting of my kids - the desire I have for my kids to do things that validate _my own_ childhood experience.
Late age fertility and longevity is not the same thing.

I think it's a pretty simple, and timeless, aspect of human nature:
"People are generally better persuaded by the reasons which they have themselves discovered than by those which have come into the mind of others."
- Blaise Pascal, 1670
Probably more about keeping distant sea lanes like the Malacca Strait open in the short term, until the overland routes are more developed. After which, carriers are a waste of resources.
Otherwise I'd say it's just as silly for China to build obsolete carriers as it is for the US to keep building them.
Missiles outrange carriers which in turn outrange battleships. The battleships became obsolete in 1941. The carriers became obsolete in the early 2000s.
carriers can be used to project power in scenarios short of all-out war, which is the common case, at the moment
An other more direct issue is Goodhart’s law: if teacher compensation is linked to a specific metric, then that metric is what you’ll get. If the metric is test scores, then you’ll see:
- teaching to the test rather than educating
- trying to get rid of left behind, slow, or difficult students (already an issue for generations in test-oriented private institutions — as opposed to the more remedial “last chance” ones)
- ignoring the groups which have the lowest odds of contributing to the metric (which groups it is depends on the weighting / averaging between pupils)
and cheating

So he is trying to buy the company he bankrupted using the money that he was giving by investors? This seems surreal. Why does he have any money at all at this point? He ran the company into the ground.
one of my favorite pieces of financial journalism ever, https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/newsletters/2019-10-23/mon..., explains how he got the bux during wework's collapse:
> [softbank's offer to rescue wework] is the result of Neumann’s holdup power: Prior to the deal, Neumann is still the company’s controlling shareholder, and he could just say no to a deal that he didn’t like. That might completely evaporate his own wealth, but it would evaporate a whole lot more of SoftBank’s, and it kind of looks like SoftBank blinked first: In effect, the price of Neumann allowing SoftBank to rescue WeWork was that SoftBank had to hand Neumann a billion dollars for himself

i've been reading this blog off and on for years, it's fantastic. a good introductory entry for those not familiar with the concept of a mcmansion: https://mcmansionhell.com/post/149284377161/mansionvsmcmansi...
The article outlines some interesting ways to evade this problem. What's the latest thinking on robustly addressing it, e.g. are there any approaches for executing inference on a tf or pytorch model from within a golang process, no sidecar required?
