Aqua-farming shellfish is the closest thing to free protein we're going to get.

My folks are involved with farming mussels in New Zealand. The farms are in a river mouth, putting the nitrogen and phosphate runoff from farms to good use. The phytoplankton they eat is replenished 500m down-current from the mussels.

There's one major risk - the 'spat' - the baby mussels used to start a vertical mussel line - are harvested when they're washed up on a beach. Sometimes, there's no spat and no one knows why. The concern is that climate change will result in less, or no spat, and then no more mussel aquaculture.

Upvoted! (And I don't know, why you were downvoted) If we're doing software the open source way (and thus securing the sustainability of the software "eco" system), why not do the same for food production (and secure the sustainability of food production). Just this morning I talked to a woman on the Sunday market and she told me about a guy who, even thou he has his own green houses and makes a living doing that, gives all that info to who ever is interested (best produce to grow, best timing for the market etc.) Concentration of this knowledge (or even patents) in the hands of a few is bad, bad, bad.

Using version control like git kinda forces you to change the way you are developing. You start to think more about building logical pieces and also really think about how the software is coming along.

I would recommend learning git for anyone. Sure, it's a big hassle, because it forces you to rethink your habits. But in the end, learning it has done me nothing but good and using it enforces me to follow good practice at the same time.

Also, just the support of 'git stash' to throw away experiments that didn't work easily is worth it. Tagging versions for release, demos, whatever .. git can help there too.
I'd be interested to know what trouble you've had.
I can't help but think there's a political motive in here somewhere? Stripping the Internet of its proper noun status could serve to help thwart attempts at declaring ownership over it, and help arguments to have it declared more globally as a common carrier.

From experience, I'd opt for freelancing / consulting over "make an app" or "contribute to open source".

Making an app is great when it works, but it's not guaranteed to earn anything. It can take a while to find the right product. Even then, you're better off having a diversified portfolio of products, it's unlikely that one product alone will replace a full-time income, and they'll have individual dips & peaks in sales / subscriptions (several products helps make your income more steady).

Contributing to open source guarantees you won't earn anything upfront. Freelancing / consulting is far more immediate income, you either have a paying client or you don't. It's possible that some of your prospective clients won't even know what open source is, let alone be able to judge the quality of your code.

Of course, there are lots of ways to earn income that don't involve code. Getting casual work at Starbucks is an option. Being a day trader on stock markets might be another. Not everything has to be solved with code.
"A good manager, who builds & runs a good team can achieve far more than any single great employee.
There are no one man companies worth $1bn.
It's appropriate that manager compensation reflects this value for shareholders"

Is what the manager does really more valuable? Sure, the team wouldn't work without a great manager. But it also wouldn't work without great team members. All of those people are replaceable with someone of equal qualities, and not with someone else who isn't as good in some way.

Thus I think any claim that managers should be compensated more has to rest on the idea that management is more difficult (which is presumably true in some cases and not others, depending on what the team is doing).

Managers shouldn't be seen as leaders sitting above the team, they should be seen as a member of the team with a specific role focused on business objectives and ensuring that the others on the team's work is going smoothly.

Very interesting idea, I wonder how is it affected by pollution from ships. Ship pollute much more than cars because they burn the lowest quality of fuel and somehow managed to withstand regulatory pressure.

Special relativity was unified with quantum mechanics in the 40s. The result is called quantum field theory; it's the most successful physical theory we have.

Attempts to quantize general relativity abound. A handful which anyone interested will mention off the top of their head: http://www.forbes.com/sites/startswithabang/2015/12/17/what-...

The problem is not just conceptual or mathematical, it's a total lack of experimental data. Even if you write down the correct theory of quantum gravity, you have no realistic way to test it - but you can rest assured that everybody pursuing a different approach will be right there telling you that you are an idiot.

> (unless you consider fusion a solved problem, and thus have near-free energy)

I wonder where the idea that "fusion = extremely cheap" comes from. Even if/when we get commercially viable fusion, there's no reason why it should be significantly cheaper than energy from nuclear fission – you'll still need extremely complicated, high-precision, high-technology machines, generators, cooling towers, buildings, skilled workers, some amount of regulation, and disposal of nuclear waste. Oh, and if your fusion design is a tokamak, it might easily be more expensive than energy from fission reactors.

If you want electrical energy that's some orders of magnitude cheaper, you'll need a break-through in fundamental physics.

I'm still not comprehending how telling someone not to do something would amount to confiscation of property. State mandated confiscation of property would be comparable to robbery the way that legal death penalty would be comparable to murder, but no confiscation of property seems to be involved in simply telling people that some things are not allowed (I'm avoiding here, of course, the very issue of whether it's wise to do that in the first place, which it probably isn't, at least for the foreseeable future.)

J&J didn’t give people a choice.” Among the most painful revelations, he says, was that in the 1990s, even as the company acknowledged concerns in the health community, it considered increasing its marketing efforts to black and Hispanic women, who were already buying the product in high numbers.

Cynical question: Was increasing marketing efforts to black and Hispanic women out of racism or a cold risk calculation in the hope that these women couldn't afford to defend themselves as good as other groups? Will J&J be persecuted for this discrimination?

>Why did this person give me this ...

Just to be clear, your premise of "give me" is flawed because not every "commit" was meant as a capital "C" Commit-a-Logical-Unit-of-Work. Instead, many commits in private local history are a more mundane commit-as-a-backup-checkpoint-savepoint. The "savepoints" are like "^H Backspace". Asking "why the programmer gave you those particular savepoints" is like asking "why did he gave you those ^H Backspace keystrokes". It's a nonsensical question.

The confusion is that the same "git commit" command is used for 2 very different semantic purposes:

(1) git commit -m "fixed bug #23984" --> as Logical-Unit-Work

(2) git commit -m "wip" --> as meaningless backup/savepoint like Ctrl+S save

The type (2) was for the programmer's internal purposes of safety backups, cleaning up whitespace, typos in comments, reflexive muscle memory of saving often, etc. They have no semantic meaning to "give you". Type (2) commits can have deliberate broken syntax and they're not meant to be built or be bisected.

Type (2) commits should never be discouraged because saving work often (including broken midstream work) is a good habit but from an outsiders perspective of the reviewers upstream, they are way too noisy. The spurious commits could be less than 30 seconds apart with no compile/build step in between.
> No, cash payers pay less, not more.[1]

Cash payers may pay less, if they have the opportunity and sense to negotiate the prompt-pay discount. I was a freelancer before ACA and paid more than i should have out of pocket, because i was dumb. But yes, if you're savvy, you have a chance.

Getting medical care out of insurance's prying eyes may have some weird consequences, payer-provider agreements might prohibit direct interaction [1]. Seems unlikely they'd drop you, but weird things might happen if it turns out you get a CT scan from X that doesn't know you have insurance from Y, and X has another agreement not to take cash payments from Y's customers.

I'm not saying you're wrong, i'm saying just like everything else in health care it's really fucking complicated.

> The amount they pay; the former would be fraud.

The ACA specifically calls out 'dollar value'. AFAICT, it varies from state to state. If you hit me with your car, and the court decides you have to pay my medical bills, North Carolina limits it to just the actual amount paid. Wisconsin says it's up to the court to decide what 'dollar value' means, and they can take into account billed and paid (and anything else they want). That's all personal injury stuff though, there might be special definitions for ACA.

> Insurance companies do not operate for charity;

Yeah. I'm not claiming they should. I'm not a fan of the system, but it's the system we have. As with all things, the way I think it should work, and the way it actually works are very different things. Mostly, i was trying to call out how ridiculously complicated it is. The OP's assertion:

> Insurance is a math problem and it has a precise answer.

may be true. But that math problem is way beyond the 3 body problem. I don't think we can really find a precise answer for any real world case.

Still, that alternate confession must be credible. For high-profile crimes, there often seem to be dozens of alternate confessions, and they are usually obviously untrue so they should not be grounds for appeal of the convicted.

The hard part is how to establish that alternate confessions or new evidence are really significant (as they indeed sometimes are).
The Internet is unlike radio and telephone. Radios and telephones are devices, you usually refer to the one you have nearby. The Internet is a specific global network - this word refers to the same single entity, unlike "telephone" and "radio".

The former things are all public information, meant to serve a public function. Personal passwords are not that. Going to jail for forgetting, is like going to jail for losing a physical key - not even a key for an important public function, but anyone's key that was used for any personal purpose.

The average McDonalds worker will very soon be a robot.

Already everywhere in Europe, there are order-taking kiosks in McDonalds, each one replacing at least two workers. Fast, convenient, never demanding a raise, never joining a union. Pure win.

The good news is that society already survived this kind of economic transition, no less dramatic: moving from manual labor to automated manufacturing.

The bad news is this transition required a world war and temporary export of working class in China (the latter won't happen this time). There are almost no unemployed at wartime.

Can you cover the cost of everything at once? If that's the case, good for you, but I pay for insurance to cover those one in a million chances like the house burning down with everything in it. It's entirely possible I'll never claim, but if my house just burnt down I don't want to be worrying about where I'm going to find money for a hotel tonight, and replacing everything I own tomorrow.

That really depends on the industry and the situation. It's probably true for tech work, but I managed more than double that in a blue-collar type job and didn't have much trouble.

I also had a job managing six computer operators and the combination of my inexperience and the personalities in the group caused the whole thing to blow up.

No, all numbers are represented by double precision floating point numbers (float64 in Go).

The previous version (http://www.oki-osk.jp/esc/golang/lisp3.html in Japanese) used Go's standard library "math/big" to represent big integers. However, the interpreter was also big and organized into several packages. I revised the interpreter smaller so that

1. it can be compiled in the easiest way, and

2. it may be comparable with the interpreter written in TypeScript.

Note that TypeScript (i.e. JavaScript effectively) represents all numbers in float64.

By the way, as for numbers only, the first interpreter (http://www.oki-osk.jp/esc/golang/lisp.html in Japanese) was the most powerful. It implemented mixed mode arithmetic including arbitrary-precision rational numbers with the "arith" package (http://www.oki-osk.jp/esc/golang/arith.html in Japanese). However, the first interpreter was so tiny as a Lisp that it had no macros, while it was organized into several files.
