My dude, how can you read code out loud and not understand the draw of having single-syllabul names for all the weird characters in ASCII. I don't have many of them, but this is a hill I will die on even if Urbit falls off the internet tomorrow. Luckily, you don't /actually/ have to memorize those. They aren't used if you aren't saying runes out loud.

There's a difference between reinventing ten wheels ten different ways for ten apps, and reinventing one really big wheel. It has to be self-contained enough that other apps can use it without having to roll their own anything, so all of them has the same API.

One of the problems with "just use a different P2P VM" is that it probably wouldn't solve the problem of having a server your mother could use. You'd probably still have to install and setup Apache and MySQL and ElasticSearch and whatever, even if someone implements the perfect transport protocol and platform. For Urbit you just run it, which can be hidden behind a pretty "click to start" button that pings our to AWS. Hence, one big wheel.

If you do see an Urbit-like project that has the same goals, I would be ecstatic to hear about it though. I've basically had "urbit but different" on my TODO list since I first saw about it.
There is a different between consuming plant protein directly and indirectly. Take the example of Giant Pandas, they have to eat constant to meet the demands of their body since they just eat plants. Their cousins on the other hand are not feeding all the time.

Also we cannot digest a lot of plant protein or covert it from
complex fibre since we lack the enzymes and gut microbes to process them.

Managed object internals, Part 4. Fields layout
How do you feel about his claim that this would be good for energy efficiency?

Or the claim that this would allow for easier human-safety by having the torque, if lowered, not be dependent on logic, but on the actual mechanics, making it possible to stop the entire system if a failure in the torque-change motor is detected?
Can you elaborate on 'with no marketing capabilities' for me?

My company started out modeling vehicular traffic and expanded into modeling pedestrian traffic. Large grocery store chains do a lot of research and marketing. The store layout is heavily modeled and optimized for marketing purposes.

It was so heavily researched that we had a mock-up store for a lab and would research the way people would navigate and where they would spend their time. These days, they are probably doing real-time monitoring by cameras and tracking your mobile device as you traverse the floor. In my day, we simply would monitor video feeds and take notes of the behavior, often from recordings of real stores and real customers.

I may not be understanding your use of the term marketing, however. From store brands to reputation management to ads and a Sunday flyer, it seems like marketing to me? It may well be that I'm misinterpreting something.
Have you tested it? It might already since it apparently has an S3 compatible interface.
> I can't explain exactly why I think those factors make it suspicious, however.

I think I have an idea of why, though I haven't been able to articulate it properly yet.

I've been thinking about it a lot recently because I co-work with a bunch of digital marketers, and some of them have affiliate marketing sites with domains that follow the pattern http://yourexactsearchterm.com.

The best I can come up with is the Uncanny Valley of SEO, where it feels like a website was made and over-optimized specifically for people making my exact search query. Maybe this is unfair or confirmation bias, but I feel like those websites are the most likely to be low quality content farms (e.g. paying content writers pennies to regurgitate content they have no experience with and/or don't understand). Either that, or they are outright scams.

Do any digital marketers here have opinions about this?

Perot was in favor of direct democracy, Theil believes that democracy is making things too difficult for capitalism. Perot was in favor of increasing taxes on the rich, Theil is effectively a feudalist.

Both men were billionaires who invested in computing and were involved in the 'military industrial complex'. But the word 'libertarian' has been dragged so far to the right in the US in recent years that it's not a meaningful category to compare the two with.
As someone who lives in New Jersey in an area that often doesn't have sidewalks (Watchung Mountains) at all, you've reminded me of a related issue, which is that adding sidewalks can be exorbitantly expensive and impractical.

Most of our roads are old colonial paths. They are twisty, high speed (these are main roads people use to get places), and cut into the hillsides in places. There's no curbing, no shoulder and no storm drains.

The roads are lined with big old trees, utility poles are a foot or two off the side of the road, bridges are barely wide enough for two cars, fences and even houses are sometimes right up on the edges of these roads.

----------

They looked into putting in sidewalks on one of those roads at one point. It was going to cost millions of dollars and embroil them in lawsuits forever.

Huge numbers of old-growth trees would have to come down, multiple bridges would have to be built (or the road ones would need to be rebuilt wider), the drainage ditch would have to get replaced with curbing and storm drains, a couple people with old houses that closely abut the road would no longer be able to use their driveways (which are currently just long enough to fit cars and not be in the road)....and on and on.

Not surprisingly, the idea was dropped and never brought up again.

Understanding evolution
I realize it's the intended point of your test, that doesn't mean it will work. Your test cannot do what you claim just because you want it to.

Read the article about argument from ignorance. For your test to work, you'd have to guarantee it had the best CG that's possible. You can't guarantee that. You can never prove we're not already there because no matter what CG you make for the test, someone else can always try harder, take more time, use better artists and bigger computers, spend more money. Abscence of evidence is not evidence of abscence.

Your logic is faulty, your argument is suffering from a fallacy. You can speculate that your idea of realism isn't possible yet, but no test can prove it.
ALLOCATING CONFERENCE DELEGATES TO WORKSHOPS: A SPECIAL TIMETABLING PROBLEM --

I'm aware of that and have been criticizing the movie industry's requirement to ship content with DRM for a long time, particularly as an avid and frequent buyer of DRM-free, lossless music.

However you're right - the iTunes purchasing example shouldn't have been part of my previous response.
On the other hand I think DRM is fine, if not a necessity, for a subscription service like Netflix. It is basically renting content and my expectations towards these services are very different from a store that offers purchasing, which should absolutely be a DRM-free experience. The fact that it's not is exactly the reason why I don't buy films on those platforms, unlike music, which is available countless large and niche stores.

It's unproven. If you have to haul more mass around, that's worse for energy efficiency.

easier human-safety by having the torque (limited)

There are mechanical 'fuses' for torque limiting.[1] Having a transmission that can downshift into a very high torque mode is probably worse for safety. If torque is directly proportional to motor current, there are lots of standard safety devices for limiting motor current.

Huh, apparently the creator[1] of Urbit is one of the original folks behind the very gross dark enlightenment school of thought, and also associated with Peter Thiel through his startup.

My biggest problem with Airbnb is opaque pricing at the search page. They will claim a room is say $250/night, but after fees, taxes and cleaning charges, it might be $400/night. Cleaning charges in particular can vary widely.
Even though Airbnb knows the exact travel dates and hence the exact amount, they still choose to show the lower daily price rather than the actual. I consider this a dark pattern too.

> The problem is you wouldn't make this argument about any other sort of good

The problem with your argument is that healthcare is a service, not a good; and unlike a commodity, every human body is different. A box of Nabisco crackers is the same regardless of where shop. Even service based industries like automotive repair have limited variability with parts or process. The service provided by healthcare providers varies dramatically depending on the procedure desired and who is performing it. Simple procedures like wart removal can be performed a dozen different ways and each has a different cost.

Routine healthcare services have relatively fixed costs and insureds typically pay small deductibles for these services. Uninsured individuals can absolutely call around for quotes on exams and common procedures like wart removal.

Unplanned and Emergency healthcare services are an entirely different story and aren't comparable to any other service. The nearest I can come up with would be an emergency plumber and, like emergency healthcare services, you play through the nose for them. The primary difference is that a plumber can triage the situation by shutting off the water before discussing options and payment. Doctors don't have such luxuries.
> my phone is lying to me.

If you force touch the UI, it does say "Not Connected" when you hit the button, not "Disabled."

I can understand the confusion, because they have re-used an old UI element for a new purpose, but there's no reason the button should mean "Disable Radio" rather than "Disconnect." And as cptide mentions, the button now has three states: blue for connected, grey for disconnected, grey with a line through for disabled. Once you know this, I think it makes a lot of sense.

If you want the old behavior, it's still there in settings, where the on-off toggle will turn off the radio itself.

Personally, I much prefer the new system (I far more often just want to disconnect from the current network/devices than disable it entirely), and think the new control center is much improved over the old one.
So how do you calculate the fitness score?
The two biggest issues I come across regularly is icons people don't understand the meaning of, and the fact that the UI changes frequently. I've found a lot of the people I work with learn how to do things, and then expect them to remain that way. Moving a button over two inches or putting it in a menu will send people calling me to come back because they don't know how to do something.

I have a lot of people literally ask me to repeat a process several times so they can write each step in doing things like attaching a file or forwarding an email down on paper. So when a button gets renamed or moved or even just has an icon instead of text, it throws people.

- He believes that capitalism and democracy are incompatible.

- He is strongly opposed to multiculturalism, and attributes many evils to it. Though when put under pressure to justify some of the views he published in his book on the subject (such as that women reporting rape is an organized leftist conspiracy to undermine white men), he simply said he never thought them. Genius!

- He promotes political figures on the far right of US politics, like race-baiter Ann Coulter.

Whether you consider him a libertarian or not, I can't do much about. Normally I'm against Americans abusing words with perfectly well established meanings for marketing purposes, but I fear this one is a lost cause.

For anyone that is running into this. The quickest way to get into settings so you can turn these radios off is to force touch the settings icon. Once you do that, you will see the different radios in the menu. You can simply tap into it and toggle the radio off. This, of course, assumes you have force touch enabled iPhone.

For what it is worth, this is a big privacy violation. I am really surprised you can't at least force touch on the control center and turn these things off. I hope someone at Apple is reading this and adds that back in.
Interesting, thanks for expanding. If you don't mind another question:

> a transmission that can downshift into a very high torque mode

I'm missing something here i guess, how is this different from a motor that can deliver full torque just because the logic chip is driving it at full power? Is it because the motor wouldn't be able to reach such high torque in the first place? (Which might be a point in favor of the transmission.)
The tough part is to find the right balance between top down management that usually results in paralyzing micromanagment, preventing quick and dynamic reaction, and a possible loss of control over the single acting units turning into rogue actors.

As the article correctly states, this is an issue of trust, but trust can only be earned with experience, which is lacking in such a complex environment.
I feel it's necessary to point out some problems with your argument here. "I'm an open minded person and honestly believe d that Bitcoin might work prior to actually using it." First of all, it seems kinda strange to me that you say you believed Bitcoin would work, without even using it. So you made an approximation of the technologies value before using it. Then, after using it once, you then totally changed positions. This hardly seems like a decent analysis of the situation, and I think you should probably do some more reading and learning.

Number 2, writing off an asset, and furthermore, an entire asset class based on one instance of a transaction fee (a problem that is being actively worked on, might I add) is lazy and dangerous, to conflate this to "it is clearly inferior to US Dollars in every way. Bitcoin is a scam, block chain is all hype, and everyone involved with Cryptomania is going to look silly when the music stops and someone has to eat the soggy biscuit" is ridiculous and you haven't made any decent points. Your entire argument is based on conjecture and no technical information.

Do yourself a favour next time you decide to shoot Bitcoin and Crytpocurrency down, ask yourself if you've actually done due diligence on your opinion, or if you've settled for the lazy option.
