There is a halo effect around new ventures which helps recruiting. Google got a lot of smart people get really excited building great software to serve advertising. But, if all they do is maintain software they are not going to attract top talent without obscene salary's.

PS: I suspect they probably spent less on self-driving cars than they gained back from that Halo.

> In the Soviet Union, there was no private sector.

AFAICT, this was strictly true (if at all) only between the first Five Year Plan and 1936; the private sector (that is, non-government directed business) was restricted in both what markets it could participate, and the forms of business (in most markets where private industry was allowed, the only business form allowed was the individual independent worker/owner, to use the language of capitalist economy) but it was not nonexistent.
Yes, the extent to which Alphabet is pursuing this is rare among other large companies. I love this R&D-heavy model. And so do many GOOG shareholders.
Cops need to have their use-of-force rules be softened to exactly the same as what is required of a non-police lawful carrier, unless they are engaging someone who's known to be hostile (serving a warrant, for instance).

The new standard: you only draw if there is an imminent threat of death or grave bodily harm. If you use "his hand was too close to his waist" as an excuse to draw on someone, or you draw before seeing them actually pose a threat, you go to prison for a very long time.

While we're at it, ban police unions, and don't require a conviction to have a bad cop removed from their job. Better safe than sorry.

How much would these train + Lyft tickets cost? If you charge a flat rate you risk the someone paying $5 for a $25 commute. What if a taco bell executive gets kicked off the Lyft platform for abusing a driver then buys a trainLyft ticket?
FWIW, I think word formats are most desired by recruiters because they can be easily edited to ie. remove your name and add skills the recruiter thinks will get it recognized. I'm pretty sure word formats are pretty unamenable to parsing, aren't they?
I think one of the underestimated functions of this kind of secrecy is to make participants feels important and better about themselves.

"This is super-secret, therefore important. I was picked to work on important stuff, so I must be important".

This goes for everyone in the chain including managers "I am managing a team working on a super-secret project, I can't tell you about". That sounds a lot better than "I am managing a team which makes Uber but for dogs".

I suspect this is partly also why governments like to classify everything, even stuff that doesn't need to be -- it provides a level of importance and adds ceremony to everything. Which, in turns makes everyone involved feel important.

> All the other things don't directly cause suffering of an intelligent species

What? All those things directly cause suffering of an intelligent species. That's why people tried to ban them.

> You know what, instead of banning cannibalism, we should regulate human meat consumption.

Cannibalism isn't an issue not because it's banned, but because... well... people generally aren't doing that. There is no demand for human meat.

It seems that the biggest problems with bans happen when a good so heavily demand-driven it becomes profitable for organized crime to form around a black market for that good.

> Let's not. It's cruel, economically and ecologically not feasible.

I think the right question to ask is - is it crueler / environmentally bad than poaching?

> Also this would wouldn't stop poaching in the wild.

It would - if you'd combine verifiable, legally obtainable source with harsh punishment for poachers.

My team has been using jell[1] for posting slack standup messages for the last several months. It's a bit odd since we've continued our normal standup tradition and still pay the small interruption cost.

However, it's made our standups much faster (5-7mins) because everyone has put into words yesterday's work, today's work, and their blockers. I know there's an argument to switching over to text-based async updates entirely - why do things twice, right? But even so it's an improvement over the traditional standup where most of the content is ad-libbed and can tend toward rambling.

And if you've walked around one of these simulated planets it's unreal insignificant you are!

In fact I find my brain tends to do the common human ego-centric thing and compartmentalizes the entire planet to only that which I've experienced.

Yet if I just land on a planet and tape the joystick to move my avatar forward... well I could go walk away and come back in six months to a year and see if I made it back to my starting position... and even if I recorded it to watch it at my leisure, my FOV will only cover a small fraction of the total surface area.

It's a gross exaggeration to suggest a single, lone character could "strip mine" an entire planet by themselves.

You need to gather enough radioactive isotopes to power your magical space plane and keep you alive and a few other elements to manufacture upgrades and that's about it. It's not like you're managing a global conglomerate with trillions of dollars of capital invested in machinery to extract every last mineral from the surface.

That still perplexes me about "remote jobs", some employers still expect everyone to work synchronously. That seems to miss the point of having distributed workers.

I've done a few stints of 3 months nonstop on the road, and when I had an employer we typically had weekly & monthly milestones, and no Skype meetings. Our communication was asynchronous (email back then). They'd often ask for smaller things 'ASAP', but as long as everyone understands that could take up to 24hrs, it works fine.

[I would lean towards freelance & self-employment when doing this, though. My income was supplemented by products I sold myself online too.]

> A 62% decline in population over a 10 year period is not compatible with having elephants in the long term.

The decline wasn't as bad leading up to 2008, when CITES relaxed the restrictions. The worst period was 2010-11 IIRC.

> We have not at all achieved any such consensus extending that ethic to non-human intelligent species.

You are ignoring the progress of animal rights causes. And yes, we as a whole society might not have agreed but let's not pretend like we don't have e.g. animal cruelty laws.

> The status quo is not working.

The status quo is partial legalization and poor enforcement. Of course it's not working.
> Apparently Emacs thinks all full-line comments in lisp should start with ';;'.

Not exactly. ;; aligns to the current indentation level of the code.

It's a usual Lisp indenting convention.

The Emacs Lisp manual recommends:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Co...

Common Lisp uses it also. See the ANSI CL spec.

2.4.4.2.1 Use of Single Semicolon

Comments that begin with a single semicolon are all aligned to the same column at the right (sometimes called the “comment column”). The text of such a comment generally applies only to the line on which it appears. Occasionally two or three contain a single sentence together; this is sometimes indicated by indenting all but the first with an additional space (after the semicolon).

2.4.4.2.2 Use of Double Semicolon

Comments that begin with a double semicolon are all aligned to the same level of indentation as a form would be at that same position in the code. The text of such a comment usually describes the state of the program at the point where the comment occurs, the code which follows the comment, or both.

2.4.4.2.3 Use of Triple Semicolon

Comments that begin with a triple semicolon are all aligned to the left margin. Usually they are used prior to a definition or set of definitions, rather than within a definition.

2.4.4.2.4 Use of Quadruple Semicolon

Comments that begin with a quadruple semicolon are all aligned to the left margin, and generally contain only a short piece of text that serve as a title for the code which follows, and might be used in the header or footer of a program that prepares code for presentation as a hardcopy document.
Interestingly the only other game(s) I play at this point are Dark Souls (series) and Bloodborne. I'm not suggesting NMS is similar at all but for what it's worth Dark Souls (particularly 1) is probably my all-time favorite game and I regularly replay through the entire series.
Nothing. I exercise all the time.

I think what demotivates a lot of people is calling it "exercise" and treating it like a chore.

I have a ton of fun riding my bike everywhere, skiing, trail running, and hiking through the mountains. Technically I get a ton of exercise, but I go out and play; I never "go exercise".
Cattle...

...are domesticated

...have comparatively rapid reproductive cycles

...do not have as strong or as complex family relationships

...are not as intelligent

In other words, cattle are both easier to farm than elephants, and don't have the capacity to mind being farmed as much as elephants.
That link on deaths per 100k people is gold. I think most people(cops most of all) would be absolutely shocked at all the "normal" jobs that are more dangerous or almost as dangerous as being a cop.

How do you plan to compete with or differentiate from any of the sites you are aggregating? My usual flow for seeing if restaurants are good generally goes like this:

1. google places near me
2. see google reviews for place
3. maybe read 1 review from whichever review company is highest on google's results
4. go back to step 1

Aside from the fact that this is iOS only (I have Android), requires Facebook, and violates the ToS of the services you are aggregating, I just don't see any compelling reason to change my habits from what they already are.

If you ask me, it's hypocritical coming from a company that scrapes the entire web, runs it through an algorithm (PageRank) and puts the data thats in a form that easier to understand. They make 10s of billions per year scraping other websites. Isn't Google the king of aggregators?

But you can't scrape google when aggregating info? What ever happened to "Don't be evil?"
Discussing Mobile Growth and Retention with Andrew Chen
Edited original comment for being too inflammatory.

It is too easy to paint the poachers as an easy comic book villain. The truth is somewhat more complicated. People who are poaching elephants are probably not flying in from developed areas of the country/world to go poach elephants. They are probably locals. Now, given that elephants live in generally undeveloped areas, the people are living in proximity to undeveloped areas.

Also, most likely, the people living in close proximity to the elephant's habitat are not in general rich people who like the view, but are probably the economically marginalized trying to eke out a living and probably are heavily involved in subsistence farming. When you are trying to feed your family, other concerns become secondary. In addition, having elephants around can be very destructive to your farming (one or 2 elephants could probably destroy a year's worth of a family's crops). Thus, people who are forced to live in close proximity to elephants probably do not view them through the same lens as we do, and view them rather as pests.

Now think of this scenario, you are a young man in this situation. A few years ago, some elephants ate your crops and your family really suffered. However, you are not allowed to hurt them because your government (dominated by elites and relatively far away) was influenced by white people from Europe and America to legally protect these animals. Then someone comes to you, provides you with guns and ammo and says that if you kill these animals they will pay you several years worth of what you would make farming. You can use that money to buy medicine for your parents and send your brother and sister to school in the city. In addition, you can stick it to "the man" (government) who is corrupt and caters only to the rich urban needs and not the poor rural people.

Suddenly, poachers don't look so inhuman do they?
No, because for most people sports are an enjoyable activity regardless of final outcome.
Is your typo in the last line intentional or just an amusingly juxtaposed mistake exemplifying what you are trying to explain?
I love the linebreak between the second and third stanza. It seems like a weird thing to love. But I finish stanza 2 and I'm like "oh no!" then a linebreak comes and I expect something different, but line 1 is the same list but more horrible.

So I enjoy (and am horrified by) the effect that linebreak had.

Thank you for sharing with us. That was horrifying and lovely.
Correct me if I'm wrong (I've never held a gun), but from my gun-owning friends, the first words I've generally heard regarding guns are "Don't point the working end at anything you don't intend to put a hole in".

Is this criminalized? If not, can we lobby for it?
Maybe. In general I agree. This specific case might be rough. I think it takes a long time for elephants to produce ivory. A few pounds of the stuff need to support perhaps 3 elephants for 10 years? People aren't paying anywhere near the true cost.

It might also be worthwhile to try a superman vs the klu klux klan approach as well. Superman beat the nazis and needed an opponent. for various reasons he started fighting the KKK. Kids would read the comics. It got to embarrassing for fathers to admit they were comic book villains, so they quit going.

As far as i can tell, ivory is only used for jewelry. The fur industry faced the red paint thing, that seems excessive. But the later portrayals, cruella deville seems like the iconic fur wearer.

Maybe convince some U.S. and Chinese movie studios to mercilessly mock ivory consumers. Ivory is nothing more than a fashion. Being the butt of every joke is not fashionable.

I traveled full-time for four years in a motorhome, then mostly settled into Austin or about three years, and then hit the road again a year ago in an old Avion travel trailer. Though I'm going slower this time, with long stops along the way (been in Eugene, Oregon for about three months, and will likely stay through the summer before driving again; there's a great co-working space here, called Fertilab, that's super cheap and friendly, so it's a good place to get caught up on work and launch a new thing I've been working on).

My first batch of travels took me from coast-to-coast a couple of times, and from Alaska to Chiapas, Mexico, and almost everywhere in between. This round of travels has been slower and far less ambitious; just sort of rambling through the US, stopping in pretty places.

The reason I stopped wasn't the lifestyle itself, though it was related. I lost both my dad and my dog to cancer within days of each other. My dog was my best friend for 14 years, and she'd always been with me on the road, so it was hard to go back to traveling the same way without her, so I didn't.

For a while after that I just couldn't handle any additional stress, and traveling all the time does include some stress. Normally, I'm fine with it: Get great insurance, get roadside assistance, get great health insurance, tuck away a little savings for emergencies, and just let the world happen. But, because I had trouble working productively for a while, my savings got slimmer and my business suffered, so stress just sort of piled up. Staying in one place was the best I could manage.

But, after a couple of years in one place, I got itchy feet again. I definitely wanted to get back on the road. I never feel more alive than when I know I can stow my stuff and drive to another part of the world within hours.

There are negatives to this kind of life: Making lasting friendships when you travel is difficult. Romantic relationships tend to be shorter and less serious. It's probably more expensive than the blogs have led you to believe (I spend about as much on the road as I spent while renting half of a house in Austin; though, admittedly, I have mostly traveled in the US, which, obviously has a high cost of living compared to some of the exotic international destinations some digital nomads choose).

I recommend everyone that thinks, "I might like that", to try it. You'll never really know if it's for you, if you don't. But, then again, if you're needing affirmation from others before you even give it a try, it may not be for you. It's definitely not for everyone, but I'm likely to live the rest of my life traveling.
I personally thought of Minetest, which is also a game engine and game, but quite a bit closer to Minecraft, i.e. you might not even be able to tell the difference.

By "commandline tool" do you mean a password encryption program? Implementing your own cryptographic procedures is highly inadvisable (unless you're an expert in the field). If you're not storing particularly sensitive data you should be fine with a homebrew application, otherwise, you probably ought to use something else. Keepass is pretty good security-wise; it is open source and widely used and does not rely on any network connections.
You can harvest ivory without killing the elephant immediately, if you are willing to put in the extra effort to do so. I expect the average poacher isn't.

However, a tusk-less elephant is a severely disabled elephant. You may not have shot it dead on the spot, but someone who de-tusks an elephant for the ivory has very likely killed it anyway.
I've never used one, but I'd much rather call a car and wait 15 minutes when I'm ready to, rather than rush to be out the door by 7:45.

"Antidepressants and ADHD Drugs Top List of Most Violence-Inducing Drugs"

I've done it from 2013-2016, on and off.

What many people do is travel then think "this is it, I want to do this forever", then travel, isolate themselves from their home communities, live in cheap places, make some money, share cocktail by the pool photos on Instagram with a hashtag #nomadlife and then get clinically depressed. Then they return to their home countries after 3 years, but they've lost touch with their old communities. And everything is expensive. And it's cold. Now they're worse off than before they left! That's not the way to go.

The issue is that most people present the digital nomad lifestyle it as a black and white thing. You're either a 9 to 5 wage slave who hasn't escaped the system yet, OR you're a "broken-free" digital nomad and then you have to give up your home life completely, keep moving around from place to place for years and it'll supposedly be awesome. I did it, and it was fun for about a year until it got VERY tiring.

It shouldn't be black and white. Digital nomad stuff should show us that we can have more freedom in terms of location. That means, deciding "I want to live/work in X for the next 3 months". And going for it. Then coming back home. If you live in a cold place, you might want to skip the winter altogether. If you have a particular hobby you'd like to immerse yourself in, move to the place in the world where you can do that (like tango in South America or learn about sushi in Japan) for a few weeks. Then go back.

The feeling of being in a strange place is amazing. New smells, tastes, people etc. That's why travel is so exhilarating. I've been from Asia through Europe through Latin America. It's completely changed my personality and perception of reality for good. But it doesn't mean we need to do it full-time.

Balance is still something that has to arrive in the digital nomad community (and I'm in it).

I moved back home and use it as a homebase to fly everywhere. I like that I have the freedom to take a taxi to the airport and be there in 10 minutes, board a plane with my laptop in a carry-on backpack and fly somewhere random, work from there and stay there until I get bored and fly back. That's extreme freedom and it means I still can have my home life and friends + have amazing travel experiences.

Balance!
