Personally, if the goods quality is high, I don't think the designers or Brandee's ought to capture the majority of the value.

The "credit" (my money) goes to the people that made and got the product to me.

I think the appropriate level of discussion is "at what level is art conodditised" to which I would say "I have no idea, but somewhere before it's printed on clothing and sold to me".

Other people who value different aspects of fashion are likely to disagree, but in general I don't highly value the creativity in clothing
If the similarity of ciphertexts reveals information about the similarity of the cleartexts, then given you have the encrypted password and the encryption algorithm, couldn't you guess the cleartext password by performing search? The point about hashes is that nobody can decrypt, although everybody knows the "encryption" algorithm. So not sure that homomorphic encryption would help in this case. Or am I missing something?

By the way, that is a fake Nobel Prize as it is not associated with the Nobel Foundation. It is actually the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in MEMORY of Alfred Nobel.

One of the perceptual spaces would probably be best, something like CIELAB. Make the gradient of perceptual change wrt change in the space the same for the entire space and you might get more generalizability.
I mean, sure. It's all physics under the hood.

The problem is that emergent properties are difficult to predict from lower level analysis, and the complexity is such that it's expensive to rigorously simulate enough of the system to see what you care about seeing.

> The article was interesting in that it use the word "could". In context, the only ice that will contribute to sea level rises is land based. We could lose all the sea based ice and the overall effect most likely will be a drop in sea level.

These shelves are built from ice that has flowed from land to out over the ocean, the more it melts the more that flow increases and the more ice goes from being on land to being in the ocean.

> To get a 1 metre sea level rise, requires the melting of land based ice of a volume equivalent to the entire surface area of Australia covered to a depth of 45 metres or so. The energy requirements for phase conversion is at least 1 million 25 MegaTonne nuclear bombs going off,

It takes a smart PI, but it also takes a well funded PI. I actually know relatively few PIs who wouldn't trade a postdocs/grad student or three for a good senior scientist. Thing is, because of the way things like training grants are structured (higher tier universities), and because in the worst case a grad student can support themselves by teaching (poorer disciplines/lower tier universities), senior scientists are far more expensive than the grad student or the postdoc (who is often expected to get his/her own grants). You can't get more of them without reforming how science is funded.

Thanks for sharing. Some notes:

1. Signups go right to waitlist, so it's hard to validate any of this. Is this vaporware? Why waitlist? Are you still in dev, or is this an artificial scarcity play?

2. All I see here conceptually is headhunter lead-gen, so I don't understand why you're charging $708+/yr for chatting. Why not offer your service for free, register orders of magnitude more users, and make your money as an agency by placing users in new jobs? If they are engaged with your platform, you'll know it's time to do that before any other platform or agency does, and you have a qualitative advantage over other agencies because you will have counseled your candidates for a long time prior. Seems like the focus of Jobstart before you rebranded it, n'est pas?

3. Your job functions in registration are constrained to tech and tech-adjacent functions only. Is that a limitation of the advisors you have on your platform, an unconsciously narrow scope, or is it related to your market designs for point 2?

4. How will you not get obliterated in court for encouraging the transmission of proprietary or privileged information?

5. Back to the $708+/yr point, so many alternatives could provide the same use for less. A private curated Quora, a user mentor network with perks (advise other users for incentives), even curated career resources in a newsletter or Amazon book-of-the-month club. I realize that a service like this might pay for itself in boosting one's earning potential, but many less-expensive incarnations of the same are at anyone's disposal.

6. Why chat? Why not email? Why not Hangouts? I feel like chat is such a restrictive medium.

Looking at the Wikipedia article for the Peugeot 106 most of the engines that were offered in the 1995 model year only put out around 100 HP. Since you had a "cheapest" rental Dart I'm assuming it had the base engine which is rated at 160 HP of power, around 60% more powerful. Comparing the curb weights, the 2015 Dart is also around 70% heavier than the 1995 106 which is expected since the Dart is a segment larger than the 106 and it would have all the safety and "infotainment" technologies developed in those 20 years. The increased power of the Dart makes up for the increased weight, and at US fuel prices it still probably costs less to fill up for the average US driver than your 106 would in Europe even though it's more efficient.

For comparison, I own a 2012 Chevrolet Sonic (known as the Aveo overseas) with the 1.4 L turbo engine (rated 138 HP). I have a mostly-highway commute and my lifetime average MPG(-US) is 38.0. On a long road trip I take once per year I have gotten over 50 MPG (measured by dividing the fuel I consumed on the trip by the distance I traveled) despite the vehicle only being rated at 38 MPG highway by the EPA. You can easily exceed the EPA highway rating on most cars if you accelerate gently and don't drive too much faster than 70 MPH.

I think this is great, especially for the electron ecosystem as github engineers are directly involved in making production apps on the stack(other than atom)

I've seen some work like this with 4coder. Having extensions written with native code that is dynamically linked makes this sort of thing make more sense if you want to minimize lag.

4coder is still very alpha at this point is easy to break but the low level primitives exposed leave it open for easy experimentation with little cruft to peal away first. It also very C++ focused so YMMV.

You're still using JS, unless you're compiling modules for node.js.
To be clear—you want Postgres to manage the data (so that it gets replicated through Postgres replication), but you also want the data to exist in somewhere other than the DB heap?

As far as I can tell, these two conditions together form a bit of a bind: for Postgres to manage the data in a way that would enable replication under MVCC, it has to have said data mmap(3)ed and indexed and have it participate in the WAL log and so forth. Just the space overhead of this management metadata will then be prohibitively costly in memory, if you have "tens of billions of files" to keep under management.

Personally, I think the pragmatic solution would be to replicate the files themselves outside of Postgres, and have Postgres just hold opaque references to their paths, which you would join through an FDW to fill a column with their contents.

As you say, the files are Write-Once-Read-Many—so you (presumably) aren't worried about how Isolated or Consistent writes to the file data would be without Postgres. Plain filesystems provide Atomicity and Durability guarantees all by themselves. It's less convenient to do things this way—you have to manage e.g. "WAL-E + a separate rsync" rather than just WAL-E—but it's not particularly bad in terms of the engineering trade-offs.

I'm more interested in the last attempt at a gasoline car startup that actually worked. Ford and GM absorbed a bunch of different auto makers like Cadillac and Lincoln, but most of those were founded pre-1950.

My point is that there is something to it if, on one hand, the industry stagnates without forced improvement through regulation like CAFE while at the same time nobody can enter the market disruptively. Since the stagnation period indicates that trying to brush it off as legitimate competition is wrong, it implies there is market collusion or some other force impeding disruption of a noncompetitive market.

> If you’re making a native app, your tech stack choices are pretty limited. On the macOS side, you’ll use Xcode, Swift, and AppKit. On Windows, you’ll use Visual Studio, C#, and WPF or UWP.

I'm not sure they know what native means because c# is not native code and WPF is not a native UI.

> To maintain parity across the codebases, we had to implement and design the same features twice. If we ever wanted to add Linux support, we’d have to do it all a third time. All this meant we had twice the work, twice the bugs, and far less time to build new features.

Nothing forced them not to share logic from the start, they could have done that and still had a native UI on each platform. It only doubles the work if 100% of the work is in the UI.
It doesn't even explain what one of the companies is meant to be infringing.

When one says "Libertarians are wrong about X", and someone answers (as several did here) that Libertarians don't necessarily believe X, you're not arguing about X but about the definition of the word "Libertarian". But all too often that argument can then continue indefinitely, with both parties thinking they're arguing about X, even though they may not actually disagree about anything except definitions of terms.

Correct. C# does not ahead-of-time compile to hardware machine code (e.g. x86).

I don't think arrangements at the library of Alexandria are known in that kind of detail. (I've read a couple books about it, and most of the sources they use are from much later.) It was founded and funded by the Ptolemies as what you could plausibly call the first research university. Probably it was some combination of knowledge-is-power (it was an era of technical progress -- e.g. you know Eratosthenes and the size of the Earth? Eratosthenes was head of the library, and his work included basically inventing geography https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eratosthenes#.22Father_of_geog... a subject of obvious interest to a new bureaucratic state), prestige, and genuine curiosity/cultivation on the part of the first few Ptolemies.
> your point about not wanting to live in such a world is moot

I never made a point about not wanting to live in any kind of world. Please quote the exact piece of text where I said such a thing.

The original argument, made by you, was that the Golden Rule wasn't logical as I suggested. What you possibly meant to say is that it isn't innate -- as in something present in all of us from birth. I never posited that the Golden Rule is innate.

Logic doesn't require all of humanity to follow it, to flow only within its boundaries like a fleshy stream, to validate it. It exists in spite of us.

At work you are also a slave to your boss, in a sense. If your boss started to abuse you, wouldn't​ you rather be a home maker so that your partner deals with the day to day shittiness of having to be in a job?

The way to not be afraid of abuse it's to have a support network. For example, extended family, friends, neighbors, acquaintances, etc. This applies to you whether you're an employee or a homemaker.

As a human you are always dependant on other people. Part of being a responsible adult is figuring out how to cooperate with people.
'value' is frequently a keyword or property on objects, and has specific meaning in a lot of contexts. For names, IMO 'k' and 'v' also work, but I find an abundance of single-letter variables hard to read. key and val it is.

That seems like it's asked with the expectation that the obvious answer is "no", but I believe it's "yes". Well, I have no idea of the quality of their devs, but someone in the decision chain thought that auto-playing videos was a good idea, and he, she, or they were wrong.

It's a trade-off. Yes, the code is messier for the 20% of functions where the input is manipulated. For the remaining 80% it makes it slightly easier to analyse the behaviour of the function.

Not OP, but presumably WPF can be considered non-native because it relies upon the .Net stack.

Here's the commit where the "UPDATE .. SET ROW (col, ..) = (col, ..)" syntax was added as an alternative to "UPDATE .. SET (col, ..) = (col, ..)": https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=postgresql.git;a=commit...

I don't quite understand the commit message, but I think the new syntax resolves some ambiguity in the grammar in an edge case. From the diff of src/test/regress/sql/update.sql:

-- *-expansion should work in this context:
UPDATE update_test SET (a,b) = ROW(v.*) FROM (VALUES(21, 100)) AS v(i, j)
WHERE update_test.a = v.i;
-- you might expect this to work, but syntactically it's not a RowExpr:
UPDATE update_test SET (a,b) = (v.*) FROM (VALUES(21, 101)) AS v(i, j)
WHERE update_test.a = v.i;
