Given how many megafauna we've already wiped from the face of the earth (most of them), and the utterly ridiculous idea that cows would ever become extinct if we didn't eat them, that argument seems completely disingenuous.

I won't believe for a second that people are seriously concerned about the fate of the Bos Taurus species in a discussion about factory farming, or eating meat in general
"are notoriously reclusive—perhaps because extreme wealth is considered tacky."

No, Europeans have a great disdain and entrenched negative view of wealth.

(Edit: admittedly, most 'nouveau riche' North Americans are fairly tacky in their expenditures. Some spectacularly so. I do actually find it borderline offensive, some of the Instagram rubbish. Being 'showy' with wealth is a sure sign of lack of real nobility)

In Europe, people's instincts are 'zero sum game' - someone has wealth because they must have 'taken' it, or one of their ancestors had.

In America it's a little more 1+1=3, even though that's often on the case. Particularly in the valley. Bing Gordon had some funny things to say about that - even American East Coast culture (i.e. banking) is very much zero sum.

The Valley, despite it's shades of narcissism is also very social in some ways. Think of open source. It's a hugely important concept. And it's very much 1+1=3, I think. And yet, immensely wealthy Google and others still treats 'any non essential staff' with low pay, like a 'lower caste'. (I find sometimes we think our 'free software' contributions are 'noble and virtuous' and then we forget that it's our actual actions in life that matter as well...)

I like German culture - and yes, it's communitarian, but also very classist. The state decides who goes to uni and not by the time you're a young teen - and it's kids of well off parents. Uni is 'free' but they send fewer kids there.

In Austria - it used to be up until actually quite recently that a CEO who ran his business into the ground could face jail time, not kidding. 'Failure' is something that stuck with your identity forever. 'Failed business' = 'you're finished'. I don't think Germanic culture has yet figured out the art of embracing failure. The 'math' on failure is hard when invariably investors lose money.

Note that this researcher, Dr. Brian Wansink, does not seem to actually hold any degrees in science, according to his CV:

http://www.brianwansink.com/uploads/6/0/2/8/60286459/wansink...

My guess is rather than being malicious, he actually just does not have a strong grounding in the scientific process despite years of professional experience. I hope he is now learning his lessons. My guess is his degrees in business administration, journalism, and marketing did not have the statistical and scientific rigor we would expect of someone conducting many high level statistical studies. Of course he could've learned these skills on his own, I just point this out as an interesting observation.

I also don't think that only people with science degrees can conduct science. However, I think there might be a correlation here — it sounds like Dr. Wansick was better at marketing his studies than conducting them with statistical rigor.
Partly that, it's partly by design.

>And yet no one has invested. I'd love to know why.

investing means some ROI. There is no way to have any ROI here (to illustrate - try to imagine how you can get any ROI by investing back at the time in Einstein developing GR). They aren't going to build a lot of power plants themselves and for selling their tech - there should be some "secret sauce", and the current fusion development is at the stage when results of one team can easily be replicated by any other team (given sufficient access to money). I.e. current investing in fusion is more like scientific/humanitarian grants (and big thanks to those guys like Allen for pushing our civilization forward) than VC for profit.

For example, once a team develops high-performance sensors and software to efficiently manage say that plasma ball at the end of a DPF shot so that there would be a real power gain, that would be an item suitable for investing by VC.
Germany has strong unions and a corporate structure known as codetermination in all large businesses that helps balance the power between capital and labor. Those two qualities, along with a monetary union that they dominate are the causes of their prosperity, not some phony value difference.

Why did you choose to tie identity to devices? That idea has always seemed fundamentally flawed to me, and if it wasn't for this flawed core idea, I would be a big fan of what you are doing.

I am not my cell phone, my laptop, or any other possession. I am a collection of memories and experiences, so it makes perfect sense for my identity to be tied to that--like a passphrase.

This isn't just a philosophical idea. I travel a lot and change cell phones all the time. My laptops break and get stolen. I lose things. But I (almost) always have my mind with me.
While I'd rather see mass fishing stopped entirely (and I don't eat fish, or any other meat, on ethical grounds), that's a valid point. I often think of the fact that lobster was once considered trash, or only to be consumed by the lowest classes, and only through an effective marketing campaign did it become a luxury food.

But, realistically, many ocean ecosystems are already on the brink of collapse. Merely increasing production won't save those ecosystems; though maybe it'd stave it off for a few years. Our industrial economies have produced seemingly limitless consumption and waste.

When you add up all of the wasted food at every stage of our agricultural systems, it is staggering. It's not just fish that's being wasted, it's everything. Solving the waste problem is more boring than growing meat in a lab, but it might be more effective at reducing hunger and reducing ecological destruction.

I think a large part of this is the focus on collective good and "do not be evil/selfish" ethos pounded on kids since childhood.

Compare that to the US where kids are taught that individualism is all that matters. Your friends don't matter, family doesn't matter, community doesn't matter, environment doesn't matter etc.

Having toured a lot of very ornate castles and palaces and historical buildings, Europeans who built them and furnished them clearly liked to show off their wealth!
The banks can "decide" all they want, but virtually every American with a bank account already has a PIN for their ATM card.
Germany is successful because it kept its manufacturing jobs through the collaboration of capital and trade unions: the capitalists kept the factories in Germany, and the unions accepted wage restrictions [1][2] to stay internationally competitive. This is quite unlike SV capitalism, but neither does it look like the opposite, which would be socialism. The best description of it is corporatism.

Of course, this also means that the benefits of Germany's roaring performance in international trade have trouble reaching regular Germans.

As for happiness, the recent election results do not look like the choice of a population which is content with the current course.

The only 'interesting new phenomenon' [1] here—and it's neither very interesting nor very new—is that American media sites now put "Silicon Valley" in every title they can. This is the dumbest example I've seen yet: it literally conses "Silicon Valley" onto article body just to get away with putting it in the title.

Apparently it's one baity supplement that hasn't stopped working yet. Probably we should write some code to penalize such submissions a la 'one weird trick' etc.

Yes, registry operators would be the ones to add TLDs to the HSTS preload list. And it's very hard to do so retroactively as you're effectively breaking any existing website that isn't available over HTTPS. So, practically speaking, it's mainly an option for new, unlaunched, and closed TLDs.

You're correct, but for avoidance of doubt, it's both:

"Who does the GDPR affect?
The GDPR not only applies to organisations located within the EU but it will also apply to organisations located outside of the EU if they offer goods or services to, or monitor the behaviour of, EU data subjects. It applies to all companies processing and holding the personal data of data subjects residing in the European Union, regardless of the company’s location."

http://www.eugdpr.org/gdpr-faqs.html

The first point is covered in article 14:

"The protection afforded by this Regulation should apply to natural persons, whatever their nationality or place of residence, in relation to the processing of their personal data."

The second in article 23:

"In order to ensure that natural persons are not deprived of the protection to which they are entitled under this Regulation, the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the Union by a controller or a processor not established in the Union should be subject to this Regulation where the processing activities are related to offering goods or services to such data subjects irrespective of whether connected to a payment."

What powers Unsplash's beautiful imagery
While this article focuses on DSLR type cameras, one that I find odd is the lack of phase detection autofocus on compact/superzoom cameras that use 1/2.3" (7.66mm x 6.17mm) sensors when we've had it in our phones for 3-4 years? The only compacts/superzooms with fast/accurate contrast-detect AF are Panasonic's cameras that use their secret-herbs-and-spices Depth from Defocus AF.

And what about the lack of IBIS (In-Body Image-Stabilisation) in cameras like the D850? Many mirrorless cameras (and Pentax DSLRs...) allow you to use unstabilised old glass like Minolta lenses with excellent results thanks to IBIS. I understand Nikon has a wealth of stabilised lenses but it'd be nice to have a bulletproof camera feature-wise. Plus you could pair lens barrel stabilisation with IBIS as Panasonic does with the GH5 and G85 to create silky smooth gimbal-like footage or crisp slow shutter photos while hand-held.

I'm sure these things will come in time but they seem like they should have been here already. Everyone is playing musical chairs with features.
Those castles are de-facto statements of the power of the state, not just wealth. The most 'grand' bits of architecture are the Cathedrals, and they are contributions to something intangibly greater.

I have committed myself twice, once for being suicidal and once for life-ruining anxiety. It did not help in the way I expected. You are essentially not allowed to express confidence in your own health because your caretakers will assume you’re overeager and take it as evidence you need more time in the hospital. Don’t get it twisted, though, your stay length is entirely determined by convincing health insurance companies that any time there will reduce recidivism.

The smart people “play” healthy, not admitting ongoing doubts and concerns. Why? Because you go to the hospital to make rapid medication changes. The therapy offered is often insufficient, both in terms of one-one-one therapy and simply what you can cover during your stay. Overstaying is enough to make anyone clinically depressed. It can also cost a lot; while it is illegal to fire for mental health leaves, it is not uncommon to get let go for “unrelated reasons”, to prevent paying for future stays, or simply because they’re uncomfortable supporting their employees to this extent.

Mental health hospitals are aimed at maximizing the number of beds in use, ensuring everyone is at least as medicated as the doctor thinks they can handle, and pumping insurance companies for money. If you are considering one, use it to prevent crises, not to expect any kind of therapy suited for long-term help. The simply do not have the available attention, funding, or even reliable pharmaceutical research to make a dent in the latter.

To be honest, I have high hopes for psychedelics to make fruitful, therapeutic use in a short stay. As it is I’ve lost faith in the pharmaceutical industry to demonstrate the pills they make are effective, let alone not harmful to the general population. 3/5ths of the mental health prescriptions I’ve been given have been pulled from the market, linked to high suicide rates, or linked to other serious medical issues (no shit, Risperdal made me lactate as a male.)

...and of course, the absolute worst part is seeing people you know will never function in society, many rimes without family. I suppose better the asylum than the street, but we will likely always need long-term mental health care in publicly funded facilities.
You could always clone the tree into a new linked-list if you wanted to keep things purely functional, but that would add needless complexity and still not make it easier to create a correct implementation.

Functional programming as a paradigm makes sense when you want to limit the context a programmer has to be aware of when working on a problem, but in this case recursion and imperative programming accomplish the same goal.

I imagine they might want a General license because you won't transmit beyond the island on a Technician license. Just a guess.

EDIT: actually read the fine article, HF voice being one of the requirements. I assume they also want more than the tiny bit of HF that Technician licensees get to use. " Sorry, 10m isn't open, so I can't transmit, and I'm not allowed to use 40m."
Perhaps I'm missing something, but wouldn't the most efficient possible hash function for a set of unique integers be identity? So I don't see how an ID column would benefit.
As someone who's been to Germany often and just visited New York for a few days I'd be inclined to say Germany does it better in taking care of its citizens. All the wealth the USA has seems to be translated into too little for its people. Dirty streets, tons of homeless people (or close to homeless), a subway system that looks worse than what's in my home country (Romania) and many more.

ARRL now conducts background checks on ARES volunteers, so the issue is rather moot (in fact ARC and ARRL have an MOU stating that ARRL is responsible for background checks on their volunteers assisting ARC, which presumably applies to this call as well). There have just been too many incidents of people with e.g. sexual assault on their rap sheets turning up working in shelters where there are all manner of vulnerable people. Terrible optics if nothing else.

I suspect the general class requirement is just to cut down the applicants to a pool of more dedicated people. A very real problem with disaster volunteers, if I might be a little harsh especially from the amateur radio side, is "fair-weather responders" who will go through all the training and then not actually deploy. I've also personally found that people with higher class licenses are more likely to be into digital modes which is what they're mostly looking for, but that's getting less true as the equipment gets cheaper (to be honest I've never even seen a packet TNC in person).

I happen to be both an ARC disaster worker and amateur radio operator, but I speak for myself.
