Exited with two co-founders when our runway ran out. Sold our IP and assets for a modest amount to our main competitor.

I realised that (as CTO) the main area I couldn't contribute to was 'the business' of running a successful company. So I decided to remedy that, I joined McKinsey and left last year as an Associate Partner. I'm now the VP Engineering at a fast growing tech company (250+ people) and the impact I can have with technology is an order of magnitude greater than before because of the intervening experience
Can you do 30-40 km/h on those bicycle roads or is there slow traffic such as 10-20 km/h bicycles and runners? In the latter case fast bicycles will stay on the main road no matter what.

In my experience I also have much better visibility at junctions on the main road instead of on bicycle lanes that are closer to walls and hedges and have 3 or 4 meters less of buffer between me and incoming cars from the right. I'm also less visible to them. It means to slow down at every side junction and over 100 km it would make a huge difference in time and wear.

As a matter of fact I tend to stay on the road all the time. A consequence is that in the last years I started going over dirt roads along channels and rivers. It's very quiet and more relaxing than being close to the noise of cars.
There is none, but that doesn't change that we need to make this decision. Your body kills millions on amoeba every day just to stay alive. Ultimately the tradeoff between human pleasure and animal suffering is arbitrary and set by society and personal preference.

The only reason I chose chimps is I rather like them so it would take a lot for me to hurt one. Equally, I don't like Bullrouts [1] (having been poisoned by one) and I would not be upset if they were all to die a slow and painful death.

Are you arguing against the idea of non-pain negative stimuli? Because I can prove that wrong by poking you in the side of the head. The difference in reaction between pain and non-pain is often slight, but whether it's cruel to subject you to two minutes of it is affected a lot more.
Right. Yes I was considering the subtherapeutic use in otherwise completely healthy populations of livestock. Good to see that is also being addressed (as late as 2017 for the US). That only addresses dispensing it through, feed though so I'm unsure how common it is to simply admnister the same thing through some other means?

Of course, the elephant in the room is the use in China/India/Brazil. I wonder how close we are to those countries adopting EU/US style regulation. Basically, how do we tell China/India/Brazil that they will simply have to accept protein prices that are much higher?
GDPR is something completely different.

The cookie law was an email from compliance with something like. 'Oh, and by the way we need a cookie warning. Please fix it.'

There’s still a significant difference between eating meat less often and abstaining from meat and other animal products completely, isn’t there?
Anecdotal. I find Sourceforge has more end-user applications. By this I mean applications you can download, install and have a user interface. A good example is Squirrel SQL[1]. Github seems to be a coders repository. Filled with libraries to incorporate into other programs.

My first comment said that sensible economic policies are not politically feasible. I certainly don't predict that sensible policies are going to be adopted or sensible systems created through our current political institutions. Meanwhile, Marxism failed because the theory was wrong, not because it was politically unfeasible. It is possible for a system to never happen even if the theory behind it isn't wrong—Nash equilibria can remain and not spontaneously turn into Pareto optima even when there exists a Nash equilibrium that is a Pareto improvement over the current equilibrium.

There haven't been that many large scale attempts to revolutionize society in history and some have worked just the way some people expected without hindsight. So it is in fact possible to predict the outcomes of a large scale system through causal reasoning and to have a reasonable idea of their desirability.
> Negative stimulus reaction and pain are different things

That seems like the distinction between reliably identifying the colour red, and the qualia of red. I don't know that they are different things in any way we can understand.
Yes but the increase comes from the company having more revenue by producing and selling more cars, iphones, CPUs, GPUs, pizzas, etc.

Cryptocurrencies like bitcoin don't generate an income. Therefore they shouldn't be increasing in value at all beyond the rate of inflation.

They should stay at a stable price adjusted by inflation +/- some volatility. If bitcoin suddenly increases in price there are only two possible reasons. Either inflation of USD is higher than expected (unlikely) or more speculation happens which drives up the volatility.
this is so cool and nostalgic!
That is why mini-roundabouts were invented.
All kinds of creatures will suffer and die even without us eating them. The fields, which were used to grow food for cattle, will became populated with wildlife.

The choice is between suffering for predators survival or for our pleasure. Note that predators don't always listen to humane treatment of animals proposals, so the amount of suffering could increase. But it will not be our fault, so it's OK, right?

While there may not be a grace period I think that the law allows some leeway with regards to the time it takes to become fully compliant. If you're audited but are not fully compliant it should be enough if you can show how you are working to correct the problems that you have.

If for example data is stored in an inappropriate way but you've not yet had time to migrate it you will not be fined if you can show how you are working towards correcting the problem.

IANAL and that.
These seems like very different programs to me. The MarArthur Fellowship is a no strings attached financial grant to nominated individuals in any field, they do not allow applications. The Shuttleworth is by application and specifically funds individuals working on projects related to "openness".

I hate this magazine narrative style, where each consecutive paragraph or two tell totally the same but in different words and referring to another Mr. or Ms. Scientist. The whole article could easily be 10 times shorter.

But the news is good.
I don't think that's a fact. We are not even talking about particularly high speed roads here. The same thing happens regardless of speed so that's really nothing to do with it. The cost of separate cycle lanes (everywhere?) is huge compared to simple junction alterations as in this particular case. Traffic lights are even worse! These are vastly over-engineered solutions compared to that proposed in the article. Sure it may not work everywhere but remember the majority of roads and junctions are accident free where the road is shared by all users without issue. It's the easily avoidable accidents we should target. The lack of driver training/awareness is also explicitly called out in the article. It's an interesting read.
A carbon tax seems like more of a simple solution than:

Can you explain a little about how your experience at McKinsey has allowed you to have a greater impact? Why did you go back to VP Engineering after having consulting experience? At first though, I would think your technology experience would give you leverage on the business side rather than the other way around.
Price, I think. Small outfits do use GPUs in production.

edit: I think another reason might be something to do with the gigantic asset sizes (eg textures) typical in big studio jobs.
> This means the typical home and business PC user should not see significant slowdowns in common tasks such as reading email, writing a document or accessing digital photos.

How can Intel possibly continue to claim this when the majority of home and business PC users are on Windows, and probably mostly on hardware older than Skylake too?
I'll make a HN post about that. Though, don't hold your breath until it happens.

There often isn't a "more frequently used road". If there were, it would probably be a 2-way stop.

Figuring out who goes next is not remotely as difficult as you have made it out to be. Where I used to live, I would go through two four-way stops twice each day during peak traffic. There are generally two scenarios when you approach the intersection. In light traffic, you get to the intersection and nobody else is waiting to cross, or it is obvious who got there first. In moderate traffic, you will queue up behind one or possibly two cars. Once you get to the front of the queue, you wait for the cars on your left and right that are already at the front of the queue, and then you go. This is simple because each direction of traffic alternates, and it is reasonably fast because the queues are very short.

The real worst case scenario is that during light traffic four cars approach simultaneously, but not only is this extremely rare, but it is not really even a problem when it happens.

In my personal experience I have had far, far more problems in US cities on two-way stops when I am bicycling and a driver incorrectly yields when they have right of way.

I suspect that most Americans feel the same way about roundabouts that, say, Germans feel about 4-way stops. But please remember that roundabouts require more land and much more capital investment. The tradeoffs in the US are different.
If we wait until carbon free replacements naturally displace fossil fuels we won't be able to limit global warming to two degrees. Immediate, massive action is necessary to reach that goal. And unfortunately climate change is not something that easily reverts itself like Ozone depletion. A large part of the atmospheric carbon stays there for thousands of years.

I'm no expert, but to me a steadily increasing tax on carbon fuels seems like the simplest and best method to incentivize innovation. You can even incentivize capture technologies by providing a negative tax for all carbon that is safely put back in the ground. By taxing carbon that is pulled from the ground positively and carbon that is put back negatively you indirectly subsidize climate friendly technology without prescribing the shape of the solution.
How convenient for Intel - they have been unable to improve significantly on the single threaded performance since the 4790K but with this "fix", newer CPUs will magically start to look better than the old ones..
There’s a subset of drivers in the UK who have a resentment to sharing the road with cyclists. Their primary arguments follow; “car drivers pay road tax...” or “cyclists should be forced to sit a driving/road test...” blah blah.

There are certainly cyclists who do nothing to help the reputation for the rest but car drivers fail to realise how vulnerable cyclists and motorcyclists are.
Interesting construction. This wouldn't be legal in Nordics, there can be no direction in give way signs indicated, and there can be no 4-way give way junctions.
What's the punishment exactly? Being forced to slow down at a junction where you don't have right of way to ensure you give right of way to the road traffic you failed to see?
I was quite in the know in the 2nd hand PC market in the beginning of the '00s because one of the projects was I involved in was to get people who couldn't afford computer & internet access to our 2nd hand computer network, including with internet access. We were running practically on donated hardware (and ran on 100% free software), except for our main internal and public server which were purchased. It was called, translated, an "internet free place" because the word "[internet] pub" was protected by law. I suppose nowadays it'd be called a hackerspace of some kind but that word didn't exist back then. Now, if you'd seen the stuff which was thrown away... perfectly working computers from a few years old really. There were projects to get these to 2nd and 3rd world countries as well (though by other organisations than ours, since we were local to our city).

With that in mind, and assuming computer hardware is still being tossed away after such short times of usage (I'd wager PC hardware is used more, but mobile phones are still being tossed like candy paper), I wonder if any IBM clones ever reached North Korean soil. If North Korea speculated on Bitcoins, which they supposedly did (with which computers?), they got some nice income out of that as well. Or would you recon this is all done outside of NK borders e.g. by spies?
That is my understanding as well.
I don't think Windows runs faster than Windows 7. It's only by forcing people to upgrade their machine that Microsoft will manage to force people to give up 7 for 10.
Fuzzy, yes. But they do declare that a lot of people will notice slow downs day to day.
But is it necessary to do it using iframes? Why not open a web page (which would be better supported in general and wouldn’t require fixes in the first place)?
"when the light turns green, it becomes almost impossible for the driver to turn right, because of the bikes already there, as well as the additional bikes coming from behind, completely ignoring the right blinker on the car."

Isn't that how it should be ? I'm not in DK, but in LV traffic laws in such a situation they should ignore the blinker, the driver must wait and turn right only after everyone going straight e.g. those bicycles and also pedestrians crossing the road he's turning to; since the vehicle turning must yield to everyone else.
On the bright side, finally a reason for me to upgrade my desktop 3770k?

Separation is not the issue here, the separated lanes have to cross just as well. They are only less likely to have cars run over cyclists, because now the guy with the perfectly unobstructed view is forced to always yield to the guy who is driving around huge, dangerous blind spots. On-demand lights are even worse, now the guy who isn't a danger to others is legally obliged to preventive defer to those who are even if nobody is there, that's like saluting the portrait of the dictator.
This could not apply to Copenhagen and Denmark but I guess that in most other countries cyclists are also car drivers and spend more time in their car than on their bicycle. However there are many car drivers that don't have a bicycle or seldom use it, maybe because they are scared by cars. If the driver is not a cyclist it's difficult to understand what's going on. I suggest that to get a license one should also get some practice in the traffic as a cyclist, to remember what not to do with a car.

About your mitigation strategy: that would solve the problem but unfortunately the cyclist won't stop behind the car. The cyclist would turn left to overtake the stopped car. I don't like to do that because it puts me in the middle of the road or to the right of another car. It also requires some space to maneuver and a car could be arriving from behind me and close the gap.

Usually stopped cars don't hit cyclists (but watch out for doors). I look at the traffic light and refrain from overtaking the car (both on the left and on the right) if it's about to turn green.
That doesn't really answer anything. I'm not debating that Jesus existed. But using the Bible as evidence for the Bible doesn't hold water.

We did have to take steps back; the new refrigerants were generally more expensive and less efficient, while the ban made old equipment impossible to legally service (no replacement CFC!).

It's just that the loss in consumption was small enough to not matter to the general public, because their use was not a super large fraction of the economy.

With something as essential as fossil fuels, you have to take a more gradual approach, and market-based economic tweaks are the best way to make those changes in the least costly sectors first.
Although that is true, we do value the character of independence of a conscious existence. That argument would never hold regarding the killing of humans for food.

When trying to properly answer the question "Is is acceptable to kill a human being for food, (caeteris paribus)", it is impossible, in the process, to avoid the recognition of the right to self-determination, and I find it difficult not to anchor that right to the perception of self, and to an independent sense of existence.

So it's not just that we will have to kill in order to eat, eventually: it's that sometimes that involves the destruction of a being that can, in some particular way, experience its own existence, which would make that killing ethically unacceptable.

If we value our own right to existence, how transmissible is that right? To what extent are non-human mammals, and vertebrates in general, etc, entitled to it?

Maybe humane killing is still wrong, for some animals.

Personally, I could not avoid considering the implications of the Cambridge Declaration on Consciousness in adjusting my behaviour, and not only in terms of my diet.
>With Windows 10 on newer silicon (2016-era PCs with Skylake, Kabylake or newer CPU), benchmarks show single-digit slowdowns, but we don’t expect most users to notice a change because these percentages are reflected in milliseconds.

Then, I guess, I am glad I upgraded to 8700k and won't return it. I was upgrading from a 4770, but it seems that one is going to be even slower now.
Most UK cities will have one single stop sign somewhere, just so that the driving lessons can go past one.
Here‘s an example of how they are handled in Germany:

https://goo.gl/maps/cmLVxuhViyF2

The space it requires is not much bigger than the traffic light. That town replaced many of its intersections with roundabouts even in central and older parts of the city.

(You might say they went a little overboard with it, looking at the southern limits near that hospital.)
Our company delivers high end recruitment websites and job boards, I can say quite honestly that the recruiters don't really care about GDPR and they won't until they get fined.

> In the case of this unsafe intersection, responsibility is diffuse - it is split between driver, cyclist, local government, and the original contractor.

Arguably, the cyclist had right of way and did everything expected of them in the situation. Also, the original contractor was following the specifications given to them by local government. Therefore responsibility can really only be placed with two parties; primarily with local government as they should be designing fault-tolerant intersections, and secondarily with the driver approaching from the east.
