Not sure where the idea comes from that teachers are poorly compensated. Relative to some other professions yes, but hardly a low
Paying job. Annual teacher salary in California is $73k/year [1] divided by .75 is $97k/year with generous pension an medical benefits that probably push that number up $25k-$75k/year...

Are you using DKIM and SPF properly? I've never had any problems with this (although, I'm not mailing from home ISP ranges)
That's a theory, but it's not sufficiently convincing to take on faith. There are a lot of different kind of expertise and capacity necessary to create a great car, from styling or marketing and sales, to interiors, seats, tires, and so on, that have nothing to do with the difference between a gas and electric means of powering the vehicle.

At a casual glance it appears that the real genuinely thorny problem with EV production is coming up with a workable battery system and producing it at scale. Which to be sure is challenging and Tesla has a head start, but it's still just a component in a much larger supply and production chain.

I'm not convinced an electric four door sedan is "more different" from a current gas four door sedan than a diesel cargo van is, and the company is adept at producing both of those. It's not obvious that figuring out how to make a reasonable electric car factory in Bavaria is more of a stretch for the company than building SUV's the American south.

These successful integrated car companies already adapt a lot as it is. The idea that they just don't have it in them to swap out a gas engine for some batteries and motors doesn't really match reality as far as I can tell.
> You literally couldn't model your restaurant's business finances on the basis of micro-economic models.

If a restaurant lowers the price for a given quality of food, will it increase demand for its services? Probably

If a restaurant provides discounted prices for items during certain low demand hours (happy hour), will it be able to increase demand for its services? Probably

If other restaurants decrease prices during low demand hours, will it decrease demand for its services? Probably

> they set the price for the revenue they want, not what the market will bear

If the price they set for the revenue they want is not what the market will bear, then they lose money. Done long enough, they go bankrupt.

Am I arguing that this is always 100% perfectly true? No. Is it true more often than not that it can be demonstrated with evidence? Yes.
That's an impossible comparison -- "rest of the world."

Is your point, "we spend so much today that we couldn't possibly spend more under a different legislative regime."??

Do you have a reference?
I think it's really important to analyse the current situation and think about what's good. We (or at least me) only ever seem to know what we have when it's gone.
If you like this approach and are using Mail.app on OSX then I recommend the following:

First...

1. In the menu, go: Mail > Preferences > Viewing.

2. Uncheck "Load remote content in messages".

3. Move to the "Composing" tab.

4. Select "Plain Text" for Message Format.

5. Uncheck "Use the same message format as the original message".

Second...

In Terminal, copy/paste this command to set plain-text preference to true:

defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool true

Its not perfect, but short of switching to another email client, its a step in the right direction.
I'm unfamiliar with Blatt's book (sounds interesting) but assumptions about humans attempting to predict the future don't really get any simpler than human misjudgements of the future don't follow a pattern an economist can predict (and to a lesser extent, companies try to make more profit where possible is also a pretty weak assumption). Especially when the whole reason this came to be popular was the analytical tearing apart of theories which used reasonable sounding alternatives people will base their expectations on what happened last time by pointing out that some people - even a minority - would make enormous amounts of money if chose to behave differently from how the economist said people would would behave, or that "I would like my wages to be the same as last year" would be a really stupid thing for workers to bargain for if the government has stated they're trying to boost the economy by purposely creating inflation. The other side of that argument is there are some conclusions drawn from some rational expectations models which are a bit too dependent on the assumption that people [on average] won't make prediction errors at all.

I've got plenty of time for the post-Keynesians but most of them (particularly in the Keen Godley/Lavoie Social Accounting Matrix style) really aren't doing more complicated mathematics so much as choosing to have models far more sensitive to specified lag structures and/or using different assumptions about human behaviour (The flip side is that Keen's hypersensitive-to-how-it's-specified banking system is better in many respects than a macro model with no banking system or credit constraints)
For much of the last century the Cambridge post Keynesians distinguished themselves by doing a lot less modelling than their neoclassical counterparts.
Finally, the EV battle is getting exciting!

I'm very curious who will win the race to the middle, that is mass EV production: either (1) Tesla becoming a mainstream car manufacturer, or (2) the mainstream car manufacturers learning to do EVs.

I'm inclined to favor the Big Auto. I believe they can easily catch up with Tesla's EV technology, whereas Tesla will have a hard time ramping up production to Big Auto scale.
> Greatness must surely be, no pun intended, relative to something.

Why? In particular, does Einstein become less great if we realize that all his college classmates wrote papers about really interesting and important things that were too ahead of his time to be understood until today? I guess you could argue that.

Or maybe we should back up a bit. What is the purpose of declaring someone "great"? Are we responding to our inherent desire to praise good humans for its own sake? Or are we seeking to inspire some behavior / incentivize a particular change in society, or something else? I think there are decent arguments for both, but correlating "great" with "unique" makes more sense to me if we just want to respond to our desire to praise people who seem special.
It doesn't: the GP didn't mention any scintillation.

My aura was similar to their description. I would be reading, and the words before or after the current one would be gone. I figured it was the migraine disrupting the visual processing parts of the brain so much so that the automatic filling in of the blind spot stopped working.
Your examples kind of undermine your point. Disgruntled Uber and Google employees have the writing skills to make their point, they have the technical savvy and the social capital to get their message to a wide audience, they have the confidence and financial resources to resist legal bullying.

In a world without professional journalists, there's no-one to speak out for the poor and marginalised, no-one to unearth stories that are being kept well-hidden by unscrupulous people, no-one to do the months of digging and fact-checking that are involved in a major investigation. Journalism is a highly skilled craft that plays a vital role in society; we can't afford to delegate it to amateurs.
simple explanation is that normies are quite diverse and group together, which then leads to non-normies to group by traits.

and then studies happen and less normies take part in them.

I work in Boston MA which has this problem since it annexed a couple different other munis and didn't change the street names, so there are 2 different twin addresses to my work address, not a big deal except for the fact that for some bizarre reason google maps, which allows you save various addresses, doesn't save the zip code so when ever I'd get direction from work it would just pick whichever one is closest to the destination and give me directions from there.
They're conservative, but that has nothing to do with technological flexibility. The problem here would be the decision itself, not the technological side.

Security warning over hospital syringe pumps
I feel like this kind of activity really triggers some kind of primal social drive in the brain to the point where it is actively unhealthy. I've also struggled with crazy Facebook compulsions, to the point where I've also had to delete the app, and I force myself to use the terrible mobile web UI to make the experience as painful as possible.

I didn't actively touch Facebook throughout August, and I really feel my general outlook has improved. I'm also more social with people in real life, and not getting my saccharine hits from little snippets of conversation or internet point validation.

Now I'm rarely active with it and feeling better for it. I still reluctantly have to use the messenger for communication with certain people, and login for access to other websites that rely on facebook (e.g. Goodreads).

It really is good advice
We built our site (https://www.solidstategroup.com/) with hexo (https://hexo.io/) which is great and offers total freedom of design with a good templating system.
I recently read the author's book "The hard thing about hard things". I understand many people here will be familiar with it. To those who aren't, I recommend checking it out. It finally made me "get" VC and what it's like to work on VC-backed startups. (I'm bootstrapping my companies.)

The answer to your question is in the second paragraph.
> The problem isn't that Mercedes, VW, and other big automakers don't have more horsepower in terms of dollars to spend on R&D than Tesla.

Before Tesla, Mercedes is/was historically the manufacturer that spent the most amount of R&D.

> Employees with education and years of experience in internal combustion engines will fight their obsolescence.

Do you realize making a great car is not only just about the engine? Mercedes has the best engineers in the world regarding the other parts of the automobile - suspension, brakes, steering, reliability, safety, etc.
I assume I'm Dyslexic (never got tested for various reasons), but I experience what I have in a different way to this. When reading sentences I sometimes read the words in the wrong order, completely changing the meaning of the sentence at times.

The way to describe my experience is that when you read sentences, you are sometimes surprised by what you read because it seems wrong, re-read it and find out that's not what it said at all. The correction I might possibly make on this site would be to have webcam input and change only when your eyes are not looking at something and to make the change more subtle so you're not aware of it in your peripheral vision.

Day-to-day (not big) issues are:

* Having to re-read paragraphs because I read it wrong and therefore failed to understand it.
* Coming unstuck in a point I'm making because I failed to read the text correctly.
* Some fonts I really cannot read at any speed - basically if it differs too much from very standard computer fonts.
* Given up writing lowercase in my own handwriting because I cannot easily read it - the workaround for me was to write completely in capitals.
* Generally wanting to avoid reading because of the above issues.

Benefits:

* Able to spot mistakes in large bodies of text really quickly, but equally could be a result of just being a programmer.
* Skim reading is easier because I have gotten used to getting words in the wrong order anyway, which almost the same as missing words.

Also, I find it funny that one test for whether you are dreaming is reading sentences in your dream doesn't make sense - I get this anyway :) Proof we are living in the matrix? ;)

Interested to hear if anybody else also experiences this and can even enlighten me a bit.

Just to make mention in the comments in case people haven't seen the product, I've found Amazon's Lightsail (https://amazonlightsail.com) incredibly easy and cheap to launch a simple website upon, along with using their Route53 for DNS hosting.

Even though I know all the ins and outs of AWS, I really like this product for simple projects.

A good counter example of this is the downfall of the German camera industry in the 60s and 70s. All that's left of that is Leica, Zeiss and a bunch of brand names (Rollei, Contax, Voigtländer..) stuck on Japanese cameras.

I think the biggest issue is that we cannot even define intelligence so how will we know when AIs are intelligent? I mean, they already are in a sense.

AI today can recognize objects in images, they can find information extremely quickly since they have access to a lot of data a human mind does not have. They can beat human players in different games.

Still they do a lot of stuff much more sucky. I think, personally, that we probably are going to successfully emulate our brain someday. But that is probably not going to look like any of the scenarios we think of.

Before that happens we will know a lot more about our brain and how we work so that we can extend it with ai. In our search for human like AI we might even learn a few things about ourselves that was a mystery before.

Interesting article, but it feels like the author is just taking stuff as much from the air as any individual theory the author claims to be based on lack of evidence.
Some quick digging found
I think that the US gov has not yet realized the full potential danger of data exposure. The best thing is to plan for these disaster scenarios like you would pandemics, wars, and natural disasters. There should be strong regulations, a set of protocols, a way to mitigate these situations.

Understandably, the government is way behind on this issue, still seeing the digital information (especially on social media) as secondary or less important.

I think its the type of thing with banks that slowly evolved, where security got higher and higher, FDIC was established, bank vaults improved, alarming improved, money tracing was implemented. We aren't there yet for cyber crimes.
We can discuss base comp, however, at this stage it won't be anything more than enough to cover basic expenses. If you believe in the business, and the potential then that's we're looking for.
The value is not in code anymore. it's in the data and network effects. I don't doubt google's code base is valuable, but no where near the companies valuation.

It wasn't big enough to be a separate political unit. It looks like the county eventually added street names and numbers, so people have normal addresses now. I left in the early 90s, before that happened.

I did see the same process happen in rural Wisconsin in the late 90s. I had an address by then, but I had a friend who lived out of town and had no address initially, but they went through and assigned one to everyone. I think the stated reason was to help emergency services, but of course it helped a lot of other stuff too.

The primary reason why ICE manufacturers are hesitating is because battery technology is simply not ready yet for non luxury cars. An equivalent ICE car costs 10k+ less because there is no battery.

What article doesn't explain is the physics behind why ETTR captures more light data: our perception of light scales logarithmically, while a CCD captures it linearly. Each stop is a doubling (or halving) of the amount of light captured. CCDs work by increased voltage based on captured photons.

Imagine back to when digital photography just started, when we were stuck with 10-bit RAW images (before processing them to 8 bit JPGs). That's 1024 different values per channel, not a whole lot of room to begin with. Because we're converting a linear signal to a logarithmic one, that means that highest stop in the image takes up 512 of those values.

EDIT: As rightfully pointed out in a reply, 8-bit JPGs are not in linear colour space any more - so this logic does not apply there (however, JPG compression is more harsh on shadow details, since it's lossy, and it tries to move that loss of information to the parts of the image where you're less likely to notice, like the shadows, but we're digressing)

By that logic, the low light data should have a lot more banding than the highly exposed data. Try it with level tools on a RAW file and see for yourself.

So you can imagine that when the dynamic range of (part of) the scene that you want to capture is less than the dynamic range of your sensor, you want to be on the right edge of the histogram (all else being equal - if this causes motion blur due to long exposure it's pretty useless)

Caveat: this is potentially outdated knowledge, perhaps the analog/digital converter in modern cameras actually converts the voltage of a CCD to a (pseudo)logarithmic scale for the digital output, which might partially circumvent this issue (although the sensor is still linear). And nowadays many of the better cameras have 14-bit A/D converters - the usefulness of which also largely depends on the quality of the sensor - so there's a lot more detail in the shadows than before.

I could imagine that this isn't just about manufacturing but also emotions. That is, do people want an "exciting" new brand or will owning an Audi, BMW, Mercedes ... stay a status symbol?
As others have already noted (and I should stop reading this and go to bed, it's after midnight here and I have to work in the morning!) we have plenty of competition, and it's either plastered with ads or similarly priced, because that's what it costs to run a service while giving your staff a decent living and continuing to improve your service over time.

As I said here: https://blog.fastmail.com/2016/12/01/fastmail-advent-2016/

... one of the most common questions was "aren't you worried about giving away all your secrets?" Actually, we really are not. Running an email service is hard work, and providing the speed, reliability and stream of new features would not be easy to replicate. So we're happy to share our stories...

We contribute a lot to open source, and we're doing a lot in the standards space now to make sure email remains open. Topicbox is built on top of a draft of the JMAP protocol which is currently being worked on at the IETF, and will be updated to follow the standard. We have staff going to CalConnect to work on calendaring standards in a couple of weeks because we're investing in advancing the field as well. That also costs money, and we're self funded, so we can't afford to sell email accounts at a loss.

It also means we have no secret customer. Our paying customers are our actual customers, not the product we're using to pump up the valuation or collect data from. It's a simple business proposition, money for service. I'm proud to charge money for what we do.
Of course, that too comes with it's negatives. Unions have both positives and negatives. It's not a simple discussion.

I agree. A number of bloggers have definitely made contributions.

I'd be curious to know if the majority of people writing to expose abuses in their own companies are in white collar companies or companies like the bakery described in the Toronto Star. I would predict that more are in white collar companies, as they are more likely to already be aware of how to get content up on the web. Certainly employees of Uber or Google are. But I'm not aware of any research on this, so my prediction isn't backed by anything substantial.

Still, I think of people like the temp employees at this bakery as being more toward the voiceless end of the continuum, and more in need of a muckraking reporter.
Because politicians sell progressive income taxes as a way to screw the rich, when it actually just screws the upper middle class, since the actual rich don't have jobs to tax the income from.

I can't even begin to express my utter disgust at this statement.
I wonder why there isn't more drive to fix these addresses. The prefixed 0 issue would probably make me think twice before I'd move there. You know it's gonna be a frequent annoyance.
You keep using that word, probably, as if it's a quantifiable number by which a firm can and will make their business model upon in such a manner which they can bank on gains/losses to actually turn a profit which they can model precisely (hint: they don't actually do this, I've worked in a restaurant). Seriously, making cute micro-econ models isn't science, it's phrenology. If you want to construct something with known quantities with known and repeatable events in a model then I'll listen. If you're going to give me Friedman's plucking model then I'm going to just put my headphones and ignore anything you have to say.
