Although there is truth in the post, this is not entirely correct. Many chemical and biological processes take place in a much slower timescale than hundreds of thousands per second, many miles per hour etc.

These processes include DNA synthesis/cell division, transcription, the transmission of electricity / ions between neurons, and many other basic processes.

Also, Many proteins don't simply float every around the cell at these massive speeds - they form stable, localized protein complexes that keep on doing what they're doing at the same location for quite a while. That's why we can image them and make real-time movies at human scales of perception (seconds, minutes etc.).

Even more so for more complex processes - this is also why cellular motion takes quite a while - go on youtube and watch dictyostelium cells move towards folic acid. It takes quite a while, many hours in fact despite the presence of a very clear folic acid gradient as the signal.
I didn't see that she was identified anywhere in the media. It wasn't until she made it her profile photo on Facebook that her employer found out. Does anyone know if this is accurate?
This is not an explicit letter of the law. If they are creating a web of complex interactions to avoid paying tax at what point do we throw up our hands and call a spade a spade and say that its clear that they are just avoiding paying a tax.
Even points are a lie now. I open a PDF on my computer, and the PDF viewer might scale it to fit the window, and the OS might scale it based on my preferences, and maybe my monitor is a projector which means the OS has no idea how big the viewing area actually is.
Not at the moment, although that is an interesting idea.

I'll concede you're a better person than me if you were a victim and took the more arduous high road of turning whatever evidence you had into a conviction. I would probably take the easier road, even it meant I was an unprincipled moron.
Not in this case. They have created a complex tax haven out of juggling around entities and IP's. We should NOT expect the law to have a specific technical description of this, and they shouldn't be around to get around the law just because they created a new scenario. In this case we should just use the obvious determination that its clearly they are trying to dodge taxes, rather than try to change to law to account for every possible scenario they could come up with.

Specific laws don't preclude the ability to use common sense and judgement, and the law shouldn't be expected to explicate every possible permutation in order to be enforceable.

Yeah, I'm aware it used to be in conformance stuff (and probably still is in many cases). Super annoying when that happens :)
Where are you getting 90% from? There are only a little over 7 billion people on the planet and a little less than half of those have internet connection last I saw. If something got billions of view either the entire internet population watched it, or a smaller group watched it many many times. Sure some things are viral, but what are the odds that they have near 100% penetration or that everyone who sees it just plays it on repeat?
You insure yourself, not the other drivers.

It's analogous to buying flood insurance. It's super expensive because the only people who buy it are those who live on floodplains.

If the only people who bought car insurance are the riskiest drivers who are clinging to less safe forms of transport, and the rest of the pool that used to contribute premiums are now in safer, cheaper autonomous vehicles and different forms of insurance, then the manual group would need higher premiums.

Like the author of the article, I also don't think of WD as an allegory but a story about rabbits. It is one of the first books I read that really pulled me into another world. Later I read 'Plague Dogs' which is a different animal and a bit perplexing.
I run build systems as images on an ESXi host which runs on a Mac Mini.

The easiest way to install OS X on ESXi is from an iso. My scripts for creating these isos are not as nice as this one. (I use ESXi because I find I can get one or two more build VMs per Mini this way.)

I'd never heard of Disk Maker X before, but at a glance it does not look like it can emit an iso.
It is strange to refer to measurements in inches when complaining about a lack of dimensional standards...
It'd be great to have this data in Internet Archive. If you check out our GitHub repo [0] you can see where we coordinate finding data sources. The data I download gets composited into tiles for display on maps, so we're updating ~4 billion objects in S3.

The source data is probably the better thing to include in IA, and the GitHub repo is probably the best place to find how to mirror it. If you've got time to spend on it, you might post an issue in there and I can help point you in the right direction.

To the extent of the law as it currently exists, but for the artificial scenario they have created the law is ambiguous and we shouldn't expect the law to be exhaustive of every possible permutation. We should be able to use common sense judgement to say they are clearly creating these complex scenarios to just avoid paying taxes.

The standard is excellent, and has been rolled out much more effectively than previous standards (much more smoothly than flexbox, to cite a recent example).

What's the advantage of ISOs with Fusion? For Fusion, I've always just pointed the guest's CD drive at the .app bundle and installed that way.

I first needed a script like this one when I moved a couple of mac minis to ESXi so I could squeeze extra build VMs onto them. The easiest way to get an image onto ESXi without using a bootp server or something is an iso; it doesn't handle app bundles the way Fusion does.
I can guess your meaning of "free speech folks", and I'm one of them. I don't think she should have lost her job.

All along, our central argument has been that the pendulum swings both ways. The same means which are used to silence the one side will work just as well against the other. That is free speech's raison d'être.
Weird... I went to regular HS in Texas (there weren't magnet schools yet) in the 80s and they taught integral calculus, analytic geometry, and linear algebra for everyone. Standard algebra was taught in 8th grade. Several of us finished all of the math by junior year and took college classes.

I guess public school just went down hill from there?
Certainly, private schools teach those classes now.

That's great. I like my car too. I think it's important to note, though, that while I enjoy owning my car I do not enjoy paying for it.

If there was a reasonable alternative to that $10,000 a year luxury that is car ownership, many people would take that alternative. They might take it gladly or take it reluctantly, but they would still take it.
The irony of clamoring for a standard measurement and then proceeding to use imperial units isn’t lost on me.
The biggest offender is is Outlook on macOS. You can pinch to zoom when editing an email, and it will remember your zoom level for subsequent emails created.

There's no way to reset it to the default, and so no way to tell even roughly how big the text will look for the recipient (screen size notwithstanding).
They also can't opt-in to adblock or noscript or me choosing to run Netscape version 4.

I used to write my resume in Latex. It is pretty satisfying to code and then compile a document and Latex does amazing things with a document.

However it has become more and more painful to edit it.

I have moved to a simple Google Document 3 years ago.

Reasons :

- I dont really need all these advanced Latex features, I am not writing a maths book.

- Docs has everything I need in order to make a resume (tbh I have considered doing it in Photoshop to have more graphical flair but never spent the time to do so)

- I can get feedback directly in the docs.

I am not going to spend the time to do it in Latex again
You cannot close the loophole, they will just create another one. In cases like this we (meaning the judicial system and society as a whole) should be able to use judgement and just say that its clear they are creating these complex scenarios to avoid paying taxes.
Umm, probably, but NVMe is still connected via PCIe. The whole point of this deal is the EMIB connecting RAM and GPU. And its hard, EMIB connections is mostly to do with power dissipation and throughput.

I am probably out of my depth guessing why companies are doing this with NVMe. Maybe its just that the market does not exist for it maybe its just the cost...

I don't completely understand his argument that raising prop tax on landlords wouldn't increase rent prices --

> It’s important to note that the tenants aren’t seeing any of those tax savings. They pay $8,000/month, full market rate. Landlords charge whatever rent the market bears — older investors receiving large Prop 13 subsidies simply enjoy a higher profit margin than younger ones who do don’t.

Doesn't that still affect the market, though? Wouldn't some landlords' lower overhead still drive the price down a little?
You could also just move the funds, from address a to address b, then buy something from some merchant, say monero from shapeshift, and claim some dastardly fellow hacked into your account and stole the funds from address a. Now do you have a claim against shapeshift?

I've seen coinhive scripts running on a few sketchy sites including tpb, but to see it on a billion dollar enterprise e.g. UFC is pretty surprising.

Exactly. I honestly do not understand how people think Apple is evading US taxes on overseas sales. Seems like any real way of taxing them on it will be a bad solution and advantage foreign companies.

A lower repatriation rate seems like a good idea to get money back into the US for local spending as well as collecting a bit in taxes.

> But you keep insisting you're a ghost

I think there has been some miscommunication if what you got from my comment is an insistence that I (and others) are less than what's suggested in the article. What I'm speaking of is strictly addition. If anything, the ghost metaphor what be more applicable to someone claiming 'we are only' abstraction X (e.g. mathematics). Or Maybe I'm not following your intention there.
That's what puts me in the situation that caused me to start looking into this, though. I've got two displays; one high-dpi and one not. Without scaling the entire display on the High-DPI display, I can't use my terminal app on both screens because the type will either be too big or too small.

If points were actually points, I could use a 12pt or 14pt font on both displays and be perfectly happy. I'd still have to deal with how it changed the number of available columns, but that's a solvable problem.

Little Baby Bum 13 billion + Blu Toys Surprise Brinquedos & Juegos 6 billion views = 19 billion views. If 90% of those views are from bots that still leaves about 2 billion views from actual people. Not saying there are billions of people watching these videos. I'm saying that even if the vast majority of the views were from bots that still leaves billions of actual views. I would agree lots of folks would play the videos on repeat. The actual number of folks/children in this sort of video matrix would be even trickier to determine.

Be interested to see a head count of those who's income rivals that of a small country.

> Predictive coding in the interoceptive and control networks of the brain, actually. Sure, it doesn't explain everything, but it pretty well dispels the intuition that makes p-zombies conceivable and explains the vast majority of the empirical and phenomenological facts to be explained.

Could you point to something related to predictive coding and control networks explaining anything phenomenological (or give an argument)? From what I can tell the two are completely orthogonal.

Edit: I should add that my suspicion is you are mistaking a system which is isomorphic to relationships between phenomenological entities with something which could account for the presence of the entities themselves.

I would recommend checking out the comment here from user 'theoh' on the "relations are what matters" perspective.

CHUWI give away 3 units of CoreBook
I believe @recursive put it very well:

> If they're not the same, then they're not inches.

I'm not saying that UI elements should necessarily be the same size, but the option should be available. Having a point be equal from display to display doesn't mean that relative scaling isn't impossible; it just means that you need to use different units for those cases (which is probably most of the time). Points really aren't all that useful on computer monitors at present; you're better off using EMs, percentage or possibly pixels depending on what your goal is. This leaves a gap, however, when it actually is advantageous to know for certain what size a UI element will be at display-time.
Great, thanks again!

Compensation for a First Employee
How much should I be getting paid? I am the first employee for a tech startup (non-technical, marketing/sales, 2 engineers as founders). I began as an intern, then a contractor, and became their first employee after a year. I'm responsible for everything, cleaning, customer service, sales (I receive no commission, but instead am incentive with pay increases based on performance). The average sale is a monthly subscription to the tune of about $2000/mo, usually with a 6month commitment - my "goals" are usually $10k/mo in new sales. I also handle basic operations, I manage a small convenience store within the office that sells snacks and stationary, I speak publicly for them at company events and external events. They have given me a 1% stock option.

I now am responsible for all sales, creating marketing campaigns including Lead Gen, Managing and Selling events, including selling sponsorships (10% commission), managing new construction in the facility, and handling trouble tickets from members.
'Lambda and serverless is one of the worst forms of proprietary lock-in ever'
> cells are extremely crowded and busy places

Cells are extremely crowded and busy... and random and violent places.

Molecular biology dances in a nano moshpit from hell.

The Inner Life of a Cell is badly misleading. It reinforces many educationally toxic misconceptions. Yes, the graphics technology was limiting. But the video doesn't attempt to mitigate the negative impact. For instance, adding a couple of frames of Goodsell's crowded proteins, fading to sparseness, could have reduced its reinforcement of the "big empty cell" misconception.

And it doesn't just hide almost everything (crowded), or slow everything way down (busy), or show completely aphysical rendezvous and docking (random), but it also strings together carefully selected snapshots to tell a misleadingly peaceful narrative (violent).

That kinesin walking along, towing a vesicle? Its "feet" are actually madly flapping around. It is randomly "stepping" back and forth - only its net motion is biased. And between one net step and the next, that big vesicle has been slammed around to every position within reach of that tether. It's a random walk on a leash. Reality isn't a donkey quietly towing a slowly-moving barge. It's a balloon flapping madly in a hurricane, tethered to an intoxicated panicked mouse clinging to a rope.

Biology rides a ragged energetic edge, between things being too strong, too expensive to dis/assemble, and being smashed to pieces too quickly.

More generally, the video illustrates a pervasive problem with science education media. Even when done "well", some aspects are done with great skill and care, while other aspects are silently left utterly bogus. Pity the students, who lack the knowledge to sort out which is which. So rich ecologies of misconceptions are established. And are intractably expensive to displace. It's so easy to create content that leaves students worse off than if they had seen nothing at all. So that's, in general, what we create.

The violence of nanoscale is a critical, defining characteristic. That so many biology undergrads are unclear on it, let alone high-school and primary students, shows just how very far we have to go before teaching deep understanding, transferable knowledge, and cross-cutting principles, finally becomes a reality. Or more upbeat, how breathtakingly awesome science education might eventually become.

(FWIW, the top section of my very crufty http://www.clarifyscience.info/part/Atoms might help some with getting a handle on at least the size aspect of small things.)

I have used PostgreSQL for 12 years. Early on I tried a few ORMs and I found them to be just something else to learn. If I had any issues, I had to figure out how it was all working on the SQL back end anyway.

My recommendation is to just directly learn SQL instead.
