Imagine humans were trying to build a new ecology in a dome let's just say it is on Mars. Sustainability would no longer be a hope, but a mandate, correct?

Given the complexity (and constantly changing aspects) of natural ecosystems, do you think we have the capacity to build a sustainable human-crafted ecology that produces agriculture (perhaps aquaculture) that produces enough excess to sustain human life? If you don't mind sharing what you think this might look like, I'm quite curious. Thank you for the insightful comment.
I wonder if they have. I don't know if this is water-cooler gossip, but I have heard they are going to have another release in 6-8 months and Kaby lake is simply a placeholder.

I wonder if they are far ahead enough to drop something that beats Ryzen on every metric including price. Either way, that would push it up quick.
This is good information to have, but it was just as necessary during the previous administration.
To characterize #DeleteUber as a misunderstanding is a quasi-straw man argument. The author of that article picked the most vulnerable argument in favor of deleting Uber and focused on that to the exclusion of myriad others.

Personally, I believe that Uber would have loved to get in on the strike. But Uber's premise, which is anti-organized labor, does not allow for this. So they tried glom onto the protest in a ham-fisted way that only highlighted the problem. Uber can't be part of a positive social protest that is driven by workers uniting and standing up because Uber is too invested in dividing them and pushing them down.

As for what would be the motivation for him to allow it to continue happening... Now that it's been publicized? Nothing. At the time the incidents happened? Read Susan's article again. There were numerous opportunities to address the problem, and leadership instead chose to protect problematic employees that they otherwise considered high performers. The motivation couldn't be more clear.

It would be very irresponsible to recommend buying a burner phone to people trying to stay anonymous. At the very least, it would give away your location even if you somehow manage to remain unrecorded by street CCTVs in the vicinity of the shop at the time of purchase. Assuming it is even possible to buy one without providing full personal details, as is required by law in most of the EU.

Might just be their interpretation of the law though. It could very well be impossible in Denmark, but if some EU law is making it possible, local law can't block it (even though they might want it to). And even if local law is blocking it, it might be in violation of EU law.

Given we're talking a €100-120K tax difference on expensive cars, you can always consult a Danish tax lawyer and if he thinks it's doable do it anyway. If the tax authority has a problem with it then, then you just take it to court. Seems worth investigating.

I run a small lab / hacker space. We've learned that a lack of structure is actually quite oppressive and can lead to conflict. The community is best served by clear rules of conduct. So for example furniture arrangement (leaving the space how you found it) is an important rule that minimizes friction between constituent groups. The same goes for food and/or incense guidelines. (We discourage both in our space, since it interferes with the work of others).

That's not what I got out of it at all. My take on it was that the "undocumented component" was made up after the fact, as a retroactively fabricated excuse to remove her eligibility to transfer teams. The same situation happens all the time in a gender-neutral way in the form of raises and promotions that are promised but then fail to materialize, with some new excuse being created out of thin air.

Also, my company very explicitly does not have an undocumented component to technical interviews, as that could open up all sorts of legal liability. The interviewers write up their feedback and the feedback is then evaluated by a neutral hiring committee who never met the interviewee in question. Keeping the paper trail of 100% of the information that went into the hiring decision is the best defense against possible discrimination claims.

'Comics' is a wide enough form to accommodate many different methods and timelines of production. If you look to the world of Print comics the intentions are often quite different from web and the production is as well.

The Ticonderoga is a wonderful workhorse of wood cased pencils. As you've pointed out their lead is sturdy and their price is almost unbeatable for the performance. Possibly the only downside is they're no longer made in the USA and I feel like their overall quality has suffered since the move to China and Mexico.

If you're willing to explore pricier options there are so many excellent wood case pencils to be had!

The luxury option would probably be the Palomino Blackwing 602. It's a ludicrously expensive pencil, but for your money you get what is hands down the nicest wood cased pencil available.

Every line of pencil Palomino makes is fantastic, I'm a huge fan of their Forest Choice pencils as a starter for people who are already in love with the Dixon Ticonderoga.

Some others to possibly check out are the Baron Fig Archer, the Tombow 2558, and the Uni Mitsubishi 9850.
I, too, have one and have used it for decades. Once you get it started, it puts out a flame like a jet engine. The only issues I have with it are 1, it can be temperamental trying to light it when it's cold and 2, it doesn't simmer well. Trying to adjust the flame low enough to not burn the food, I often turn it off completely and have to restart it.

I'm worried that the head of HR will be fired as a scapegoat or something, when they were never empowered to truly deal with issues like this in the first place, and that such policy will continue. If the company culture is toxic to begin with, and "high performers" are retained at all cost, firing one head of HR makes no difference if, afterwards, HR is still not going to be empowered with truly addressing these issues.

I will point out two things:

1. The goal of the paper seems to be to take the biological metaphor as far as it can, and to make the strongest possible case that it biology may work this way.

(Neuroscience research was where the action was in the 90s so this makes sense).

2. As far as I know (last time I had the pulse of the field) there is no biological equivalent of back-propagation. Does anyone know if this is still the case? i.e. there is no circuitry for a signal to travel in the opposite direction in a nerve.
"Learning math" to understand "cryptography" seems to me as a narrow goal. I have an impression that observing it that way you can get disinterested as soon as "the math" is doing its "mathy" things of developing itself just for the sake of it. Because that's math in essence. You want to be on the level of "applied" math but you have to be ready to "dirty" your hands with math "just so" too. Once you are proficient enough to feel comfortable of approaching math as something that doesn't have one purpose and not even some universal consistency (e.g. not in all cases is the notation the same) it will be easier for you: then you use math as a tool, but you aren't afraid of that tool. But a lot of math exists for itself.

My suggestion, it worked for me: buy a lot of paper, like, thousands of sheets. Take some books with the problems (and also with the solutions) then work through, maybe more than once. Don't say you haven't tried until you actually used all these sheets to write your own derivations of the solutions. If you once see the solution, you have to try the second time without looking. I could not learn by not really doing it, a lot, and I don't think anybody can. You can't just "read" it as you read history books, you have to "work" it.

A lot of people simply can't imagine themselves sitting and filling the papers with formulas (also in the comments here), but don't have problems spending months doing video games, for example. It's this "belief" that's limiting.

On another side, you need to have some kind of context too, but you have to find the interactions of the context and the actual work you do yourself. I like the "historical" context, because the big steps in math were traditionally not accidental. Archimedes invented the kind of "infinite" methods to calculate volume of some solids, and the methods remained forgotten, people remembering just results, Newton also invented a new math just to solve the problems he considered etc. For you, you have to adjust your steps to the knowledge you already have: if you know little, you can't avoid spending time learning the basic stuff. You have to work through, step by step.

Maybe also watch the documentary about Fermat's Last Theorem as an example of how it looks like doing math.

Choosing a Stack for Your Side Project
That concept is actually not that unusual or nonsensical - imagine if we had the opposite: As long as you and your servers are outside the US, you can not be charged under US criminal law. This would basically mean that the US would need to rely exclusively on the goodwill of foreign prosecutors to shut down things like e.g. securities fraud exclusively targetting US citizens or hackers attacking US companies etc. Obviously, in many cases foreign prosecutors would not care too much. Does this seem like justice?
I have practiced intermittent and prolonged fasting in the past (for approximately 6 months each), but had to stop on account of dramatically increased irritability, especially surrounding planned fast breaking meals.

Type-Driven Development
I don't mean to imply that 1 review on glassdoor is the smoking gun. But a bunch of reviews talking about the same issues (not specific to sexual harassment), and other comments and testimonials not on glassdoor seem to point in the same general direction. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt doesn't mean it needs to be incontrovertible.

Let's not miss the forest for the trees here, this isn't about a single case of sexual harassment (at least to me it isn't). It's about how Uber is operating as a business and culture and from that what are its long term prospects.
My iPod video. I honestly think that the click wheel has to be one of the best designed user interface in the history of the world.

For all the interactivity touch screens unlocked, I think we lost something when the click wheel went away.

> Travis immediately responded to the article

I believe one of the huge problems about it is that this problem has been running for years, and that the CEO "immediately" responded only now that bad PR is at the gate.

We actually no idea about whether these internal problems are actually perceived as problems ; Susan Fowler's article isn't merely about a sexism problem, several other problems are referenced (like hiding information from an executive in order to help another exec). All of the bad things in that article actually come from the company's culture of pardoning anything from someone who shows good performance.
Why would you think that? Do you really think all your metabolism is so fragile that a single missed meal would set it on a different course?

Your body burns alcohol first, then carbs and finally fat. When you fast, you only have the last one - but you likely have enough of it for a few days (likely close to a month) before your body needs to break down muscle and convert it to carbs for fuel (gluconeogensis).

It may not feel very good in the first few days, you will need a lot more electrolytes, and it will take a few days before your body is doing it perfectly; fasting puts you into ketosis, with all that entails.

When I fast, I make sure to exercise more than usual, and especially cover all muscle groups (which I don't religiously do when exercising for fun). It is my experience that my body will keep muscles i use, but not keep those I don't. YMMV.

Also, listen to your body but do not extrapolate; the first two days of full fast may seem impossible, and if you extrapolate them to a full week may seem like certain death or madness; but after 48 hours or so, there's a phase change. I stop when I start feeling hungry - usually after a week or so, but once or twice after a month.

You want to read some of Popehat's articles on sentencing guidelines.

Here's one that walks through the process:

https://www.popehat.com/2013/03/26/cloudy-with-a-chance-of-s...

Here's another, more hyperbolic one, showing how a claimed "facing 67 years" turns out to be more like "facing 24 months, and probably less than that":

https://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentenc...

But the short version is that describing a criminal case as "facing up to 50 years" is like describing a lottery ticket as "worth up to 50 million dollars", and you should probably believe both statements about equally until the sentencing happens (for the criminal case) or the winning numbers are drawn (for the lottery ticket).

Canada went through this a few years ago with a conservative government.

It wasn't that scientists were not allowed to communicate with the public, it was that they had to work through the PR department. The PR arm of the institutions would delay, filter, and even edit publications that touched on sensitive areas (eg. Anything remotely connected to climate change--like even fisheries related data).

Fortunately, Canada came through this period. But we did see the closure of research stations and destruction of scientific data.

So, to answer your question, many legal steps can be taken to stop, slow, of even eliminate scientific communication.
She joined Uber in November, while the author was still there. So no in that regard, but also, this is very clearly a systemic problem within Uber (and other companies) - an internal investigation will do nothing.

Quantum Mechanics as a physical theory that describes behavior of particles, structure of atoms, etc. does not have much to say about behavior of larger molecules, let alone cells such as neurons, or their interactions.

But at the core of the modern QM lies a mathematical theory that, unfortunately, only rarely is seen as something that is independent from the QM's concrete physical aspects. That theory is a kind of probability theory that is different from the one that we all know and love (or hate). It is exactly that difference that makes QM unreachable for our intuition. But as a mathematical framework it can be expected to be useful in describing behavior of some other systems that have nothing to do with Quantum Mechanics and which could possibly include mechanisms of consciousness.
I don't know anything about Travis or Uber directly except what I've read. But I've read enough to know something is really wrong.

>What would be the motivation for him to allow it to continue happening?

Because the company got where it is with exactly this culture. Look at AIG in the 2000's -- huge portions of the company lying about their finances, leading to the ouster of their CEO. Only to be followed up by a huge bailout in the 2008 financial crisis under the new CEO. The culture was poisoned, it comes from the top down - everyone in management is cutthroat because that's the only way to survive. And it's pretty much impossible to change.

I worked at a company that was purchased by AIG - American General. My executive level boss was dishonest - lied about people working for her, and lied to other executives. She made her way from a low level executive to a Executive VP once the company was bought by AIG. Once you've got a toxic culture, that's how the company works; and I think there are a lot of companies like this.
