> "Sam Altman and PG have both been very vocal in their denouncement of Trump, so keeping Thiel as a partner ... seems incongruous at best, and down right spineless at worst"

When people you know to be both intelligent and courageous seem to be doing something crazy and/or spineless, you should ask yourself what presuppositions you differ on.

You seem to hold the presupposition that people cannot work professionally together if they hold divergent political views. Think carefully about the implications of that viewpoint, and whether it's one that others can be assumed to hold.
> The same meal over and over does not sound appealing to anyone I think. Even I would not want to eat pizza 7 days a week.

I eat exactly the same breakfast and lunch 5-7 days a week. It's easy, relatively cheap, and the routine keeps me from screwing up my calorie counts.

Dinner has some more variety, but I'd be up for pizza every day if it weren't for the cost and health issues.

Not a totally fair comparison here, since our neighborhood pizza places routinely show up on "best pizza in the US" lists...

Legally, that's what free speech means, but philosophically Free Speech can certainly be more general than just related to the government.

In the context of copyright, which my reply was about, it's about striking a balance between rewarding creators and progressing the arts.

In my opinion, extended copyrights like what we have now tilt the balance too far in favour of rewarding the creator, at the expense of progressing the arts.

20-30 years is a perfectly reasonable amount of time to profit exclusively from the distribution of a work. Which is not to say you can no longer profit from it afterwards, just that opening it up to the public greatly increases the potential of progressing the arts.

Not to mention, it adds incentive for creators to keep creating even after making successful art.
Unless there is proof that it is again a lie:

On the one side you have the "But the Framers didn't have machine-guns, or CRISPR." On the other side you have people who would ask "So I don't actually have a right to use strong encryption?

Otherwise anything could be "necessary and proper."

What the fuck is the thesis of this article?

Is he asking The Valley to produce and market mass-produced food as if it was less mass-produced than the entirety of the current processed foods industry is able to?

The entire shtick of Soylent is to kill all the romance around food. Is he asking them to just not serve a market segment that's not tuned into current trends?

For tech companies leave the tech behind when producing food? (in which case they'll tautologically no longer be the people he's calling on)

For tech companies to bring high tech to farming low-tech produce? (they do, but they sell to the farm who's name is on the label)

Or is it a metaphor, and he wants tech in general marketed more romantically?

Or are we just supposed to sit back and listen to David Sax brag about his refined tastes and demonstrate how insightful he is about what Americans want from food? That's just public masturbation. I'm sex positive and all, but why does The New Yorker think we would want to watch?

15+ hours in the air. In economy. That isn't healthy. I'm wondering if we eventually get to the point that health agencies speak up, that there is too much risk in having people sit in tiny chairs for such periods.

Now I see old people sitting in tiny seats and wonder how many will leave the flight with a DVT injury? How many will be in hospital with flu the next day? If sitting is the new smoking, these flights are like sleeping inside a chimney.

>For commodities, in general, buyers do move on to a seller who doesn't price-negotiate---commodities are interchangeable enough that a buyer has the liberty of saying no because there are alternatives the buyer values equivalently.

So how does your income play into house prices? We had many houses on offer when I bought last year. We spoke with experts and offered slightly below market. If they countered above market, we would have walked.

>
Stores in the US generally don't price negotiate at the register, but they do have coupons that discriminate shoppers into loyal shoppers (those that take the time to track down the coupons or join the store's particular flavor of loyalty program) and ordinary shoppers.

Isn't that more to do with advertising than income discrimination? I know wealthy housewives who have the time to clip coupons, my working class wife and I do not.

I'm not denying these practices exist, but its always sleazy businesses that engage in them and most consumers end up moving on once they catch wise. Grocery store vs. Amazon for example.

> To remove from people the right to judge for themselves is the ultimate assault on freedom and liberty.

I think we are in agreement here.

> Should all views be accepted as equally valid?

> Not all views have equal merit and deserve equal treatment.

These are just a pretext to suppress views that are deemed invalid, odious, and undesirable. And conveniently any "invalid" view happens to be the ones you don't like.

The hallmark of a democratic society is to ensure opposing views can be spoken without fear of repercussion.

However, the right to express yourself doesn't mean the right to harass and bully the people expressing the opposing views.

Oppression happens when you bully people just because their view. Oppression happens when you sabotage their work/job/career/business just because their view. Oppression happens when you harass their friends/family/relationship just because their view.

If you want to advocate your view and policy, state exactly how great they are and what benefits they bring. If you want to express how terrible the opposing view, state exactly how bad they are. Don't bully the people. Express your opposition to their VIEW, not the individual.

The "That being said, when compared to twinkies and sugary sodas it might still be better for you. " part is how I justified regularly consuming it to myself despite there being so little science on the long term effects. Even with a typical fairly stocked Big Company cafeteria, I feel that it is easier for me to eat healthy every lunch by drinking Soylent rather than by getting food. But the lack of science is also why I only have it for lunch, which somehow feels like a fairly safe way to go about it. Hopefully we'll get some better science about it soon...

In Java you can be reasonably sure that whenever you need something from an object you call a method of its class. That's one thing you rarely have to think about in practice. Yes there are exceptions (sometimes painfully inconsistent ones) where fields are accessed directly, but at least that gives you some performance guarantees. It's generally not a big concern.

In C# you do have to think about it all the time. Most types have both properties and methods and in many cases it's not obvious whether the author of that type had the same idea about whether or not something should be a property or a method as you do. Where you only have to remember a name in Java, you have to remember both a name and its syntactic category in C#. One more thing to keep in mind equals greater mental load.

In fact, the guidelines for choosing between one and the other include considerations that should be of no concern to the user of a public interface (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229054(v=vs.100)....). If any of these implementation details change, the logical conclusion would be to change the public interface from property syntax to method syntax or vice versa. That's what I call inconsistent.

If you're saying that the choice between getX() and x() in Java is also somewhat inconsistent then you are absolutely right. It's just not a problem on the same scale as in C#.
I wonder if it was just a matter of getting permission to fly that route over China / East China Sea.
It is the same quality as you get in the EU. Milk lasts a week or so in the US as well. UHT is mostly unheard of in the US because people actually like the taste of milk... ;)

Someone who is buying real cheese in the US is not really in the wheelhouse for soylent, we are probably talking about a big block of mass-produced yellow cheddar here. Most likely it is being stored improperly in a ziploc bag or similar and the retained moisture is causing premature mold growth.

"We do not view processed foods as inherently bad or unhealthy.

Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden: 25

Of course, these are just the mandated minimums. Many employers will give more to be competitive.
