The higher profile athletes already do discreet individual branding, it's just not on their uniform. Given they can build social media profiles nowadays, it's getting better in that respect. Problem is, as you point out, there are a lot of hopefuls on the fringes of making an Olympic team that have minimal appeal to potential sponsors unless and until they break into the big time.

Paying costs those fringe athletes can't possibly manage themselves is where a lot of the federations' money that doesn't filter down to cash payments to the athletes is going.
The announcement already mentions that ProxyJump is meant to be a simplified version of indirection, not a completely new feature.
I said it elsewhere so I am going to repost it:

> But we all know that a third-party candidate is not going to win the election.

A third party doesn't actually don't need to win. If a candidate does not receive a majority in the electoral college I believe the house / congress decides[1]. This would also pretty much destroy both parties - they will have to compromise and come closer to the middle.

Basically, if a third party can get even 15% of the vote it would open the door for another candidate.

I don't think you appreciate how much power is required for a supercharger station. Put it this way - if you had a SolarCity panel array the size of a Model S, it would produce enough power in a good day to add about 35 miles of range to a single car. Multiply that by the amount most people are actually charging when they pull in, and the number of cars utilizing a charger. It's just not even close to practical unless you cover the entire roof of a nearby building, and then you would need a huge battery somewhere to store the collected power for charging at night. Supercharger stations connect to the grid for a good reason.

Do you have a 'big hunk of barrier presence' monitor though? Otherwise, when someone removes the physical stop during maintenance and forgets to reinstall it, and nobody notices for a long time because the software safeties are all working as intended, until...!

Obviously, you can't go down the rabbithole forever, and this is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but IIRC similar circumstances have occurred.

The San Salvador medical irradiation facility accident[1]
is largely a tale of gradual failure of safety features and interlocks, combined with the misunderstanding that they were still adequate or safe, until they weren't.

Let me also point out some of the ticket sale difference can be attributed to inferior venues (the women had to cancel games because of poor turf in 2015), but the point remains they are now generating more money and more profit. They also have worse accommodations (flight and hotel) than the men.

"I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" by Harlan Ellison is missing from the list.

I'm not sure whether you could say Musk has recommended it, but he's certainly made reference to it to explain his fears of artificial intelligence.
The classic case I always hear is jockeys too. It's not that odd, every sport is getting very specialized in athlete selection, in fact there's a great TED by David Epstein[0] talk about this kind of thing.

Is this not what Redis was designed for? In this situation, I would value Redis over memcached just based on its performance values and the cheapness of RAM in the cloud right now.

All observations point to limits and thus suggest that reality and therefore the economy is a zero sum game. You talk as if limiting reality doesn't make any sense when scientific observation describes a reality that is in fact limited.

Conservation of energy, conservation of mass, the speed of light, these are limits built into the fabric of existence.
What does "well understood" mean exactly? Ask the average inhabitant of Hacker News and he will tell you that "Faraday Cage the name of a phenomenon whereby a box of metal prevents electromagnetic fields inside", or something like that. But ask him how the strength of the electromagnetic field depends on the wire radius and mesh size, and he might not know the answer.

That said, the answer was known to Maxwell, as the author remarks, although not to the author himself. As is often the case, the problem is in the details. So in a sense, it is a well understood problem to people who know the details well enough.

I'm a physics graduate I did not know the answer, and I can assure you that the average physics graduate doesn't know the answer. In the year 2000 a graduate course in physics contains so much "advanced" physics that you end up learning a bit of a lot instead of a lot of a bit. My contemporaries and I know a lot of physics superficially, unfortunately. Time is limited, and in university you learn what you're fed.

But yes, I agree with the sentiment of your post, of course :-)

This story was covered in the book 'Set Phasers On Stun' (https://www.amazon.com/Set-Phasers-Stun-Design-Technology/dp...). It was required reading in our Introduction to Engineering class in first year.

I love Brave. I'm still locked into Chrome out of habit but I'm slowly trying to push myself over to Brave. It does a much, much better job ad blocking natively, and it's getting better with every release. The primary reason, however, is I like the idea of controlling how ad revenue is used. I think the idea of paying people to accept ads is a long overdue.

I had just started learning NetLogo, which led me to Lhogho, a compiled Logo, and then references to Seymour Papert's book Mindstorms that piqued my interest.
I'll have to give it a go seeing as how many people have spoken so highly of this book.
Sad news go lose such a thinker.

I agree. I should have referenced market cap to give a useful argument. My thinking may be wrong, but here's what I have:

1. TSLA is close to it's all time high. SCTY is well below it's all time high (Granted, I don't see it going back to $80+ anytime).

2. TSLA market cap (34.5B) is 70% that of Ford (49.3B) or GM (49.7B). I know Ford and GM are probably undervalued and there are many differences between them and Tesla, but this suggests to me that Tesla is overvalued.

3. Solar City market cap is 2.4 billion. Solar City has a market share in the US of 34% (approx). Solar City market cap compared to the rest of the industry makes sense.

4. The Solar Industry is here to stay. Solar City, as the US leader, is not going bankrupt (the Tesla board of directors agrees with me on this or they would not approve the deal). Investments would swing back to SCTY at some point pushing the stock to $40-$50 (or ~4-5 billion in market cap).
Second Measure | SF Bay Area (San Mateo, CA) | ONSITE (relo ok) | https://secondmeasure.com

Yep, I agree. The steep drop off with the dry ice was likely after it dissipated, and the air temp recovered. The question then would be, when to drain the water though.
By the time you're done manifesting that concretely, you've nearly got Patreon. Yes, it's not quite identical, but, for instance, once you accept that the site still has to opt-in it ceases to be magic.

Of course few people quit google or facebook to go work for amazon unless it's a Marissa Mayer-esque jump in the org chart.

The real question to ask is how many individual technical contributors does Amazon lose to the others?
Solar powered AC works just fine without a power distribution network and even tends to track production and demand. Heating on the other hand needs power in the darker parks of the year and needs fuel, much larger investments, or a power distribution network.
------- SEEKING NodeJS/Meteor DEVELOPER FREELANCER -------

Type: Full-Time/Part-Time
Location: Remote (we are located in Akron, Ohio)
Company Name: WonderKiln

We are a small boutique consultancy, with a entirely remote team, heavily focused on great experiences (design, code, animations, etc). We take great pride in our design and development, only working on projects we build from the ground up handling design, brand, and development.

We are looking for another backend developer who is flexible and willing to work with an small existing team in a fully remote capacity. The key trait we are looking for is independence and self-motivation to tackle problems and hit deadlines. Experience with frontend development and a eye for implementing designs as per mockups/etc is a huge plus but not mandatory.

We currently work with MeteorJS as our primary framework and while experience with this is a big benefit, it's easy to pickup so if you don't have much experience, still feel free to reach out! Generally looking for experience with NodeJS, MongoDB, Angular/React/Vue, etc.

The goal is to find someone who can jump in as part-time and work on ramping their hours up from there. We are looking for someone available immediately. If interested definitely reach out with availability (hours per week), hourly rate, and past experience!

Contact: austin [at] wonderkiln.com

Looking forward to hearing from some of you!
I think at this point you're better off going network-wide blocking to cover all your devices instead of just the few empowered to provide this security themselves.

I use a self-hosted DNS server called https://pi-hole.net/ for that, it was created for Raspberry Pis but I put it into a Vagrantfile and combined it with block lists similar to Ghostery from https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts to form https://github.com/benlowry/pihole-extended-hosts
