Then again MDs were laden with some of the most insane DRM seen on consumer media.

If you used a consumer deck to record something onto a MD, it was flagged, and that meant that the only way to get it back out was via real time playback and the analog hole.

Never mind that if you could lands your hand on a professional deck, the flag would happily be ignored. And you could transfer anything at whatever speed topped out first, USB or the read rate of the deck.

If they had simply sold it as a improved floppy, i think the tech would still be with us. But at the time Sony was being wagged fiercly by their Sony Music tail...
>Which means that that this hypothetical "amplified intelligence" could vrey well have it's own, next level of "low hanging fruit" that is simply too complex for current human intelligence to grasp, but is well within the reach of the more powerful intelligence.

Having watched some of the shows I still don't catch the full appeal. Perhaps so you can claim you don't live in a trailer? Modern campers are at times better finished and likely to pass more stringent inspections. Throw in that trend towards slide outs on campers/trailers and they have space on demand.

Custom workmanship might be the real key, still it is a trailer by any other name.
The OP's comment used that as an example:

Then the reply:

More generally, the underlying message here of course is not whether or not this particular story is true, but that there is a large body of evidence that elephants are intelligent animals. It is extremely unlikely that all of these stories are untrue. Thus the underlying thrust of your arguments (elephants are probably stupid) is disingenuous.

Tech Community Mourns Loss of White House Adviser Jacob Brewer
Where to begin. Judges don't enforce laws. The legislature passing laws and the executive deciding which to enforce is part of the design of checks and balances.
This has been my experience as well at PWC. There are one or two seniors on the team while the rest of the team is staffed with interns/new associates/coop students.
There are people who are evil. I don't care what economic language in which they couch it. They deserve what they get -- and I hope it is coming to them, soon. (This is not a threat, just a strongly held sentiment.)

P.S. I hope that micro-laboratories and production diversification will soon put a final "paid" to such exploitative strategies and tactics. Yeah, the "risk" of a chemistry and biologics lab in every back yard and basement... I'm increasingly of the sentiment that it is less than the increasing risk of autocratic and monopolistic control of centralized production and distribution.

This is a somewhat surprising development in my own attitude, to me. As I recall observing all the bone-headed and sometimes downright risky and uncaring behavior of e.g. chemistry students, including potential majors -- and some of the instructors -- back in college. Part of me is strongly concerned about keeping them from poisoning others and whatever environment they find themselves in.

Nonetheless, as I observe an increasing momentum towards artificial scarcity and profiteering -- often by people with no credit for making or enabling the original discoveries and creations -- I see decentralization as the only effective response.

I, and many others, tried "playing by the rules." Turns out, they've been increasingly rigged, and us, screwed. I'm not the only one deciding, "you have to take care of yourself." Not just in general, but seemingly in every aspect.
No that you mention it, I think that would be possible.

The main problem is that by its competitive nature, mining rewards are actually deadweight loss. Every dollar value of bitcoin that is given to a miner is value that is destroyed. To see this, imagine that a Chinese bitcoin mining farm is making a profit mining bitcoins, gaining $10 of bitcoins for every $8 of operating expenses. Then another farm could start up with an even lower profit margin. This would continue until the economic profit was zero, i.e. every dollar's worth of bitcoin mined cost a dollar in operating expenses, which are deadweight loss to the economy.

However, none of this implies that a constant inflation rate is not possible. As long as a dollar's worth of bitcoin generates more than $1 of value to the economy, the system should be stable, and the higher this number, the less wasteful bitcoin would be. Given the various figures for velocity[0][1] I've seen, it's not clear whether this system would be prohibitively wasteful or not.

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money

[1] Note that velocity is the ratio of total money to nominal GDP but since one is a stock and the other is a flow, this doesn't measure how much economic activity a single dollar generates/supports.

The irony... a product that is suppose to protect you from malware becomes the very tool that engages in illegal and unconstitutional data-mining.

There used to be a distinction between services offered on the web and apps running on the desktop (spyware, illegal). Windows 10 changed all that (along with lots of help from mobile OSes). It's (constitutional) criminal behavior (eula or not) and should be classified as such.
Managing user services with systemd
It sounds like where you are doesn't require much structure for organizing work...yet.

What you need is a way of tracking other's work for merit:

- Set goals with each person, those goals must align with what the company's goals are. Bonus, if everybody's goals don't fill all of the corporate goals, it means you need to think about hiring. If you have over representation in some goals, it means you're overstaffed in that area and need to work on moving people and developing them to fill in gaps.

- At six months see how they're doing in meeting those goals.

- At 12 months, do a full review.

- Set up a sliding pay-raise system.

--If they meet all their goals, they get some agreed upon number.

--If they miss a few, they get less.

-- If they miss half (or whatever you specify), they get nothing and an improvement plan that's checked on after 30-60 and 90 days with the normal six month review deciding if they can stay.

-- If they miss more than half, time to think about parting ways.

-- If they exceed their goals, give them a bonus (not an extra pay raise since those can live forever) and then think about giving them tougher goals next time.

As for work structure, you must have a hierarchy, otherwise one will develop naturally and it most likely won't be aligned with the needs of the business. This is what humans do in groups of 2 or more, there's no getting around it. Just take a person with some leadership skills and put them in charge of managing a group of related tasks, and reporting up how things are going not going. That extra responsibility also needs to be rewarded.

One options, make people task managers instead of people managers. They own the task and when its done, they move on to other work or get another task to manage. This can help you maintain the feeling of "flatness" while creating opportunities for different individuals to get experience being in charge of things.

If I remember correctly, when Provigil became generic, they bought the company producing the generic form. They also slightly changed the drug and patented a new form as Nuvigil.

Last year, I asked my physician's assistant (I have never actually met my personal doctor) for a prescription and he told me that he didn't believe Provigil/Modafinil was even made anymore and tried almost emphatically to get me to take Nuvigil instead. I said no and that I'd try anyway. It was available and my insurance covered the Provigil ($750/month).

Wow, good catch—that's worse than average even for a press release farm.

We've changed the title (from "Human innovation more trial-and-error than 'lightbulb' moments"), but have left the URL because the popular article, distorting as it is, provides more background. Also, the researchers themselves are pushing this interpretation, to judge by the quotes in the article, so it isn't just spin by a headline writer. Anyone who wants to read the paper can follow the link you've helpfully provided.
Fascinating, thanks for the links!

Congratulations Lyft!  It took you 3 days to lose me as a customer
TL;DR -- I downloaded the Lyft app this past Thursday. If took 3 days for them to lose me as a customer as the result of shitty customer service.

Im new to the Bay Area. After spending 3 years traveling and working remotely, I've been setting up shop here for the fitness startup I run. I downloaded Lyft last Thursday to help with getting around SF. The first couple rides were awesome! Loved the drivers, very friendly people, easy and convenient UI. Things are going great. Sweet.

Yesterday (Saturday), I accidently left my phone in the Lyft. Doh! Big mistake on my end. I contacted Lyft within 5 minutes of realizing I left it in the car. Their customer support told me that I can report lost items in the receipt they email you after the transaction. But wait, you need to confirm the transaction via your phone to receive the email receipt. So if my phone was left in the car, how can I rate my driver and confirm the transaction, thereby receiving the emailed receipt?

I explained this to Lyft support over the phone, and was told sorry, cant help you. You'll have to issue a report online to get ahold of our lost and found team. Its been almost 24 hours since I left my phone in the car. I have issued 3 different tickets online, called their support 5 different times, and still have no clue if this driver has even been contacted yet.

I can't expedite the process, because I need my phone to confirm the transaction. Until I rate the driver, Lyft won't email the receipt. I cant imagine I'm the first person to leave their phone in a Lyft car, and this seems like a very critical reporting issue for how to handle a lost phone. I don't normally take to bitching on the Internet to try to get something done. But at this point I've been twindling my thumbs for 24 hours, wondering if I'm going to see my phone again or not.

And everybody also generally hates the airlines and feels the pricing is unfair because of this.

You might say that without it airplanes would not fly at all, and you might be right. But it's incredulous to claim that without these profits the medicine would not exist at all; it has existed already for 5 decades.

> I'll give you one thing - financial planning education in the US is absolutely awful and continues to fail millions of people every year.

It's not just financial planning education -- it's financial planning policy.

Almost every policy we have is described as progressive, but isn't, and acts to discourage saving.

We have a graduated income tax. Where do the brackets start? ~$9000. That'll teach those fat cats making $15,000/year. And Richie Rich over there making over ~$37,000 will have to pay even more again -- even though the minimum wage fat cats were already paying the same marginal rate as investment bankers pay on capital gains. And the investment bankers don't pay into social security but you pay the full rate starting from dollar zero. Which money you won't get back unless you live long enough, can't dip into for emergencies (so emergencies get paid with high interest debt rather than reduced savings), and statistically will pay out less than investing the same money in an index fund.

But that's not the half of it. The thing that really gets you is all the programs designed to "help" you. If these programs were unconditional (i.e. not tied to income/savings) then they might actually do this, but they aren't. And the thresholds are low.

So two things happen. First you want to send your kids to college. Did you have some money saved up? We'll take that right out of your financial aid package thankyouverymuch, that'll teach you to save money. Same thing if you have to change careers and go back to school yourself. Then you realize that the amount of money you're making isn't going to cut it and look around for ways to make more -- which is where you get hit by the train.

They call it progressive because people who make more money are supposed to pay more. But they never bother to tell you "more money than what" -- and the number is less than minimum wage. You work part time stocking shelves at the Walmart and you get government subsidies for food, housing, healthcare, etc. You bust your hump going to night school for three years so you can get a $38,000/year job as assistant to the regional manager and the subsidies evaporate... leaving you pretty much back where you started, only now you have student loans. But try to save something for retirement, would you?

Public parks close at night, sometimes shortly after sunset but never later than ~11pm. Individuals and small groups are routinely harassed and ticketed for violating park hours. A large group, particularly one that's drinking, almost guarantees police response. A large group of urban minority youth and they'll put it in the press as a riot and call out SWAT. I'm speaking from experience with my local Lake Michigan-facing public parks in a well-to-do Milwaukee suburb and the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago.

Public parks are there for "wholesome" daytime leisure, not evening parties.

Barbecues and potlucks are common social gatherings for married couples who own suburban homes and have (small) children. I don't have data but I'd estimate the age curve for consumers of the BBQ industry peaks at 40 and tapers off around 30.
What you're saying makes perfect sense on paper, but unfortunately reality is as always slightly more complex.

Such simple thinking is full of the holes for exploitation and there will always be someone who will exploit them. Medicine is especially sensitive, because medicine can be priceless in value for the human who needs it, but that same human might not be able to pay that much. You can introduce government help, but if such exploitation is allowed, it would simply end up in a waste of tax money.

One thing is to allow companies who invest into products creation to receive the profit from it by using monopoly and charging as much as they like, and completely another is buying the company and starting to charge many times higher for the medicine that was available for years.

This might not be a popular view, but I can see no reason to think that such an exploitation should be tolerated. I simply cannot see how such things benefit humans as a society. I might be missing here something and if I do, please let me know.
The question whether altruism exists is, i think, beyond the scope of this discussion. Whether my parents loved me is also not relevant, although I can assure you that they gave me things out of love and ostensibly altruistically.

With friends, I think, most people will agree there is reciprocity if not with money but with something else like company.

With children, it is harder to argue without introducing other concepts, but I argue that it is not altruistic and has gene reproduction as the final goal.

If you haven't heard this argument before, you can look into "Genome" by Matt Ridley for a colorful explanation.
