It's interesting that hovering, VTOL and small size are only important at the beginning and end of your flight. Maybe there's room for some kind of hybrid that takes off and lands like a small compact flyboard, but unfolds wings while cruising for better fuel efficiency? No idea how that would look though.

"they would have all of the wheels off and gone before anybody could respond anyway."

I wouldn't be so sure about it. I heard stories (directly from friends, not only from the Internet) about thieves being stopped by a custom / non-standard / less known protection installed in a car. A thing that the thief does not know in advance and has to first figure out how to crack it. If the alarm goes off, it gives less time to crack the other security systems.
From everything he's said, his motivation with Tesla isn't to become the next Ford, but to force the existing auto industry to switch to electric. So while a profitable Tesla will be high on his list of priorities (purely because that profit enables him to work effectively on his other goals) I don't think he'd worry overmuch what the badge is on the front of cheap ubiquitous EVs, as long as they're cheap and ubiquitous.
I haven't been in that situation in terms of being in a high-burn rate, VC-funded startup, but I think the transparency can work if it is consistent.

Of course, if our company tells us nothing about its finances and then suddenly the news leaks that there is only 3 months of runway left, then we'll be likely to want to leave. Not only can the company not keep its financial promises, it can't even give us ample notice about it!

On the other hand, if we are aware of our company's financial situation from day one, then approaching the end of the runway is much more gradual rather than sudden, and also this news comes as part of a whole pattern of honesty and openness by the company. Within this context, I see it is entirely plausible that the openness builds loyalty. Sure, some people will say "I can't afford the risk of being unemployed for even a week right now, so I'm going to have to get my ducks in a row to be able to find another job promptly, and I may have to leave before the next round", but they will tell the company that (so it can plan around those departures) and they will try to arrange things not to screw over the company.

And what's the alternative? Lie to those people who are working hard for you, and risk them screwing up their life if you don't manage to close the next round? What kind of broken human does that to their colleagues as a matter of conscious, systematic decision?
Out of curiosity, what do the studios that don't release crappy games do?
Exactly. From what I've seen of WebAsm, you can request pages of memory using grow_memory. Upon this, you could implement a memory pool system to handle malloc and free. Using this, it is trivial to port existing GC's.

I don't understand why people moan about GC in WebAsm. WebAsm is a compiler target for lower level languages, not the JVM.

They go down and also allow for doing good AOT code generation to native code in the languages that have such toolchains, whereas dynamic languages really need a JIT.

After working on a startup that had a server architecture similar to AOL Server and also seeing some heavy Zope deployments (late 90's), I never got to understand the use of dynamic languages for large codebases.

Actually, I've been following Urbit for a while - it's decidedly not designed to be socialist, or libertarian, it is instead feudalistic. Specifically, the network protocol, once you get past the level of "two computers communicating", is based around a system where users are given land (a "planet") by a landlord (a "star"), and are then tied to that landlord in terms of infrastructure and trust.

The system is also, weirdly, specifically designed so that not every person in the world can have their own planet.

Totally crazy technology outside the laws of science but no one will call them on it.

This stuff has been non debatable in the science/logic community for..... years?

How the hell else are they still going?

Are there companies run with male CEOs that have done the same? Not crazy ideas, but crazy ideas that are not scientifically plausible that also get PR and VC funding.

Are they just getting more PR cause they are run by women and seem to be more pumped than they are?

Are they being picked on because the CEO's are women and plenty of other crazy companies who get similar funding just disappear?

I don't get it, but how many stories do we need about these two companies that say they are just not possible.... It's getting boring.
I thought this might be the case, but it doesn't stop people from believing you may be a high value target. So the good security practices are very prudent.
How did this make it to the front page? It is so esoteric to begin with, and so poorly explained beyond that... it's not even useful to most of the people it is intended.

All that aside, can we stop making up new words for things that already have words? -- correction, can we stop re-purposing old words for old things and acting like they're new? I mean really, “outlives or equals to”?

Largely because the project requirements said "we should warn people away from this dangerous site".

Increase level of unusability for long-time users because there's a better chance they will switch. And it's still better for Spotify if those users leave as Spotify can't sell ads for shit - haven't heard any real ad in months (it's only Spotify ads that are intentionally annoying or ads for playlists by major music labels which are supposedly subsidized by Spotify).

Dylan?

Honestly asking - I used the language a bit but I didn't read anything on its implementation(s).
I don't think his interpretation was total, complete or absolute. He basically refrained from commenting on it, and made very direct jokes on basic aspects of the situation, while introducing it via a proximate cause (oil price crashing led to instability - it's the lack of diversified economy that made them vulnerable, and it's usually caused by shortsighted natural resource expolitation, blablabla, but that's just correlated with the erosion of property rights, and not necessarily causally).

I'm trying to decide if his omission is okay or not.

Conservative (and I intend that as a swearword) hit-media present his lack of condemnation of "socialism" as a wrongdoing. Which certainly can be argued, that since he got airtime, he has some responsibility to educate, especially if he choose to talk about the topic.

However, I don't think he is a politology scholar, so not using a word so misued as socialism is probably a smart thing on his part, and sticking to the criticism of the consequences of the policies themselves is also an okay-ish solution.

I think shows what a dictatorship leads to is more important than condemning whatever ideology you think lead to it. After all, autorism always mutates the ideology it uses to justify itself, usually subverting all of the original ideas related to it in about 5 minutes after gaining power.

And the referenced source, even with google translate, doesn't seem to say anything definitive.

So, "will play" doesn't seem to have a source...

I feel that all warning are doomed. If we discovered some ancient site (let alone ancient alien site), each marking would prompt us to dig further and explore more.

No warning works (even if an explicit one), when met with a curious being. See: Eve and the Tree of Knowledge (from Genesis) or Pandora and her box.

And when the beings are not curious, it is unlikely that they would develop technology, or be tempted to new, alien places.
Peter: you could add it as an offline Apache Cordova app as well, although you would have to be on the lookout for:

- System Webviews != Chrome or Safari (depending on iOS/Android version).

"At first glance, Elm's type system looks like it borrows heavily from Haskell"

I absolutely agree that this is purposefully obfuscated. It's IMHO some kind of intellectual masturbation. You can see the same pattern for the essays Moldbug writes.

But i disagree with you criticism of Nock. This is not only a good idea, this is brilliant. This should be adopted to javascript. If javascript now introduces a SIMD api this api will have to be supported until eternity, even if maybe different kinds of operations are accelerated in future cpus. And it add to this layers and layers of curft and complexity that javascript stacked in the last 5 years that are impossible to ever fix. It would have been better if there was a convention how to define a normal javascript function (e.g. add two arrays) that the javascript implementation can or not replace with a SMID accelerated function with the same semantics. This reduces the technical dept to almost zero.
It's the difference between incompetence and intentionally making things look bad.

Chuwi HiBook CWI514 Windows/Android tablet review: Awful performance
I think you've missed the point. This individual, who was buried in the late 6th century BC in Carthage, has mitochondrial DNA from a European (likely Spanish) maternal line. Thus, despite being a wealthy individual of supposedly Phoenician blood (which one would make to have Lebanese / Levant DNA), he has a European lineage from hunter gatherers that has been virtually wiped out.

The implication is that when the Phoenicians colonized the southern Iberian peninsula, they mixed with the local hunter gatherer Europeans. Then, the individuals who mixed spread out to more substantial and traditional Phoenician urban centers further east.

Given that:

- he died in the late 6th century BC in Carthage

- Carthage was only founded in 814 BC

- Traditional Phoenicia (Lebanon) was conquered by the Persians in the late 6th century, resulting in Carthage becoming the most important remaining Phoenician city during his lifetime.

Then it is quite significant that in the relatively early days of Carthage, then the de facto capital of the Phoenician world, a wealthy individual actually had hunter gatherer DNA from Spanish Europeans.

What is the story explaining this? An ultimate tale of social mobility wherein his family was integrated into Phoenician society and steadily increased their status through only 10 generations (300 years)? A Jon Snow bastard situation where a wealthy Phoenician impregnated a local indigenous Spanish woman, potentially in war or rape?

Given that his haplogroup, U5b2c1, "has been identified in both La Braña 1 and 2, the 7000 year-old remains recovered from the La Braña-Arintero site in León in Northwestern Spain" Then it is almost assuredly that his maternal line is hunter gatherer Europeans. They were only beginning to see the waves of technology radiate from the middle east. 2800 - 1800 BC they experience the Beaker Culture, which is characterized by pottery likely used to drink alcohol. Thus, as grains, alcohol, and pottery first arrive, their society rapidly begins to change. Then in 1000-800 BC the Phoenicians show up and bring writing and massive advances in technology and social organization. Nonetheless, Spain remained more of a source of raw materials than a major urban development for the Phoenicians at that point. Much of the silver in the Levant was coming from Spain and Sardinian mines run by Phoenicians.

Cool. Verifying the old Engineering adage about a month in the lab saving you a day in the library. Or 10 minutes on Google these days.

gfaure probably meant something we now would consider completely unrelated. An owl hooted twice, and then the child died. So two hoots from a certain type of owl predicts a death in the house. As silly as this sounds to us today, there's a huge survival value in making these kinds of connections. Certain smells and tastes predict toxic subtances, certain noises predict predators or natural disasters, and certain animal behaviours predict all kinds of calamities.

While I respect that others may have a different opinion, I should add that in my experience the change from 0 to 1 was more profound than that from 1 to 2. Without kids life most likely entirely revolves around your needs, interests and priorities (if you are not a caregiver). The first kid turns that world upside down. The second kid to us mostly meant more of kid stuff. Yes, I agree that it is not a good way to think about having two kids as something that equals to twice having one kid. But a lot that comes with the second will be somewhat familiar, and practice will make you better at it, even though your second kid will probably be very different to your first.

My friend wrote in an email that "When we had our first, I thought a lot about what the hell we had done with all the free time we used to have on our hands. Since we had our second, I haven't had time to think." I should add that after having their third, he has barely found time to write emails to me a few times a year.

TLDR; step size between 0, 1, 2, etc. kids is subjective.
Not nuclear waste.

Uh? I think that you're overestimating the danger of parachutes:
1) they can open automatically
2) for total beginners without training, round (army styles) parachutes would be a possibility.

Then there are only two rules to learn: 1) keep your feet together and 2) keep your legs 'semi flexed'.

And if you forget the rules then you usually break an ankle not 'die catastrophically'.
Surely written warnings, if some future society discovers them, they might be curious enough to have decrypted at least one of our present day languages/methods of communication.

Just have the same concepts relayed in as many languages/ways as possible, and then make the site sufficiently difficult to infiltrate that it would take a sufficiently advanced civilisation to break into it.

You could even tier the messages, and use words that would likely be common and thus more likely to have been recognised based on discovering whatever other shit we've left around.
