Yes, yes I have.

At minimum pigs are castrated, transported and imprisoned against their will, and slaughtered against their will. Small, independent or family farmers do take care to minimize suffering. Minimize, not eliminate.

That's not at all the case at industrial farms. Sows are raised and slaughtered in dismal conditions. Gestation crates, forced and early weaning, artificial insemination, etc. Sows raised for slaughter can experience physical abuse, sexual abuse, and psychological abuse in a number of ways.
I'm pretty sure integer (i.e., fixed point) math suffers from the same problem here. The only difference is that (a) for a given size, you get a little more precision, since you're not spending bits on the exponent, and (b) you have to hand-code the shift where you lose precision, instead of letting the FPU automatically make the shift where you lose precision.

Sometimes you can get clever with the modular arithmetic--like, it's okay to add (or subtract) a list of fixed-point numbers where partial sums overflow and wrap, as long as the final result doesn't. I don't know any useful analogy to that here, though.
It will be pronounced “seckwreck”, if you don’t change the capitalization you use, or change the name somehow.

How does this compare to other products, like 1Password?

I hope those aren’t real credit cards that you’re blurring, because if they are, then they’ve already been de-blurred and stolen. Blurring is no longer a valid method of applying security-through-obscurity. Of course, security-through-obscurity isn’t a valid method of securing anything anyway, but please do make sure you’re using images of fake cards with obviously fake names and fake card numbers. Maybe the. You won’t need to blur them?
Presumably you're suggesting nuclear because it's carbon free. But if that's the goal, both wind and solar are cheaper now. So nuclear would be a misallocation of resource, reducing the ability to spend on other efforts.

And if that carbon-free electricity is going to charge the batteries of machinery to do this, wind and solar will be just as good at that.
Not quite - giving without any expectation of receiving is very different to bartering.
So what's the problem? Not enough sales?
Abuse it in what way?
Money isn't permitted except for the initial tickets, as well as coffee/ice (all of which are sold by the organizers).

It's otherwise a gift economy. Reciprocation is fine, except that the initial gift shouldn't be given with the expectation of reciprocation. It's a subtle difference, but it works out OK. Some would probably object to the term "economy" as well -- you're supposed to have arrived with everything you need to survive, so all the exchanging is just for fun.
It also means advertisers can’t miss appropriate your data (this could be part of the security thing). So I can’t say I want to know what themaguffinman’s been searching and google will send me a list of his searches for $50. When people say selling your data that’s the image I get even though it is compleatlly in accurate.
Hi, I had a startup fail after we (I had 1 co-founder) invested ~4 years into it. Some thoughts:

A startup failing is not a rational thing. At this time emotions (regret, fear, stress, depression) take over, it's a tough time to handle. If it's tough for you, take comfort in knowing that it's tough for everyone. When I was going through this, I couldn't handle the stress, so it spilled over into my personal life, and in the end I also got divorced a few months after the startup failed. Avoid that by not prolonging the process.

Talking to too many people isn't that helpful. Most "naive" people (who haven't done this, who don't understand how tech companies work, etc) will just tell you to push on. They will do so simply because it's baked into our Culture, that when somebody is in trouble you should be positive to them, tell them not to quit, the way you would fire up a runner at a Marathon race. But a startup is NOT a Marathon race, because training for and finishing a Marathon is purely up to you, but that's simply not true for a startup. (As a Marathon runner, this was one of my misconceptions going into my startup.) Here on HN we're okay with failure, but outside this bubble it's not that okay. So if you talk to people (friends, relatives) you'll get roughly the same if you told them about "I'm dating a girl and it's not working out that great" or "I have a new job but it's not working out that great", most advice would be pretty useless and just along the lines of Try Harder. So you have to learn to ignore these non-expert opinions. The fact that they may be investors sucks.

It sounds like you really don't believe it's going to work out. Don't spend another 3-6 months proving to whoever's left (clients/investors) that it doesn't work, just so they "let you" off the hook. As somebody else said, go on a vacation, and if you still want to stop it, stop it.

One final thing: when I was going through this, I was constantly projecting bad outcomes, which in this first world scenario is a few tough/uncomfortable conversations/situations with people. In the end, some of these happened, but overall it was maybe 1-2 hours worth of conversations, which really weren't that tough/uncomfortable in the end. In retrospect, the fact that I stressed over it 24/7 for months (so, 100s of hours) was really stupid and irrational, so don't do that.

One final trick: imagine yourself 3 years down the line. EVERYTHING WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

Good luck :)
Good observation! Yes, there probably are.

What I've noticed is there are "people" names used where people, soft skills are more employed. Of course! They know better, and those skills have value.

Where those soft skills are not as meaningful, "resource" tends to be used more.

Hmm... Names. I don't know. Staff services?
Nintendo have released some turds of consoles before (Virtual Boy, N64, Wii U) but they all had some good games.

Super Mario 64 was the first 3d platformer and it is still fun and innovative now. The only thing dated about it is the camera control and it’s not that bad.
This was a serious question, I am not saying we should give our information to anyone but in the face of making the world a safer and better place what kind if personal information don't you want there to be known.

Just for clarification, I am myself not sure where I stand, I just want to be convinced that I should care about my privacy and your argument dosent convince me
Do you mean there is some kind of rule or law preventing that? Otherwise, it's not appropriate to generalize the microeconomic behavior of a population of 70,000+ (2017 attendance estimate).
I remember compiling NetHack back in 1993 or so for x86. The binary was well over 900 kilobytes of machine code (according to the size utility). I was like, "Gack! That's sized like some bloated Unix kernel!".

You are right about this and we were both surprised at how sober Burning Man was. The media literally used the phrase "drug-fueled orgy" to describe Burning Man that year. Given all the nudity and psychedelic nature of the event I can see how one could come to this conclusion. Well, that and the fact that someone probably re-gifted our drug-laced snack for a masturbation session. Seriously there was an actual tent where you could trade snacks, pancakes, whatever, for a hand-job.

Jeez, why did you have to derail an intentionally sentimental comment by mocking it as "cute".

This is all anecdotal. I've found though from simply asking around, that most Engineering schools, as well as other fields, have weed out classes. They aren't technically labelled as such, but there is no better description, given their passing rates. They are curved grading, so by simple distribution of scores, large numbers of people will fail. There are so many students per teacher, the scarcity of resources demands a competition.

I suppose on the larger scale though, as universities compete for students, and their money, it makes sense economically to let in anyone with the base level of aptitude, because there are plenty of other programs you can switch to from engineering. But the easiest time to lock in your customer base is when they are making the decision to buy for the very first time. Almost like a car salesman. Just keep them on the lot long enough to convince them to buy something, in lieu of the thing they wanted when they first showed up.

“Human Resources” is an excellent name for what such departments exist for.

If you want something better, you need a better mission first, and the name will be a natural outgrowth of the mission. Looking for a friendlier name without reconceiving the mission is just wrapping the existing problem up in a lie (which plenty of places do, to be sure.)
One of my favorite quotes from Blood Meridian (which was published before Burning Man was a thing; I have no reason to believe it influenced Burning Man but the two are linked in my mind because of the setting and because this quote always makes me think of it)

The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.

I would note that there is a difference between experiential knowledge and propositional or factual knowledge - you can read as many books about dance as you want, but none of them will tell you what it feels like to dance. In the same way, everyone sort of knows, on some level, that essentially everything about society is arbitrary. Your clothes, your food, your house, your job, everything is the result of path-dependent evolution that didn't have to end up how it did.

Ok, great, so you can know that just from using logic, but how can you feel it? Burning Man is one answer to that question. It lets you experience the "fevered dream" that is reality.
Different foods have different carbon intensity. My current small apartment has a smaller utility bill than the large house I used to own. These are choices.
I didn't meet my wife there, but it was there, while sitting in Jeremy Lutes's Lily Pond[1], that my girlfriend and I decided that we wanted to start a family together. 15+ years, 3 kids, and one wedding later, we'll never know whether we'd have ended up together regardless of Burning Man, but it was that night that we knew for sure.

The Wii U was a failure, yes, but that didn't stop Nintendo from releasing excellent first-party games for it. Besides, Nintendo was able to (relatively) quickly come up with a much cooler and more practical console.

There is quite a bit of advice in this thread, some by people who've been in your shoes and some who haven't. So be careful about the advice you follow, it's easy to make a bad decision at this point in a startup.

My advice. Go (back) to consultant mode. It failed. You know this, it's in the OP. Don't give back the cash, they invested in your ability to grow something. Show them they didn't make a mistake. Work on something totally new and don't feel constrained to do something anything even remotely close to the old idea. Don't start building another software monstrosity. Find a real problem and a way to solve it. You have a year of runaway to sell something that can grow into something real. That's not too bad.

There is no rule. Any attendee is free to barter!

I will say in my experience (and second-hand experience with hundreds if not thousands of participants), that there is literally zero* bartering. And, furthermore, many (cf ~all) people would be aghast at any sort of quid pro quo exchange.

Read the last paragraph from the parent stating they would not return without a large presentation/gift. This captures the spirit/zeitgeist/culture of burning man!

* I have seen some bartering with illicit substances to prove one isn't a law enforcement officer, but the barter amounts to "show me you have some money, even a few cents, and I'll trade you immeasurable money"
> don't live in one of the most expensive cities in the world
>> Not a choice you actually have for many careers.

My question was which careers force you to live in one of the most expensive cities in the world. I don't think your example of public transportation employees is a very good one.
Palestrina is an interesting suggestion. That makes sense from a perspective of chronology and the development of the form, but Bach and Mozart have a big advantage of familiarity. I've heard Palestrina's music in university classes, but I can't recall any of it at the moment.

This is not accurate.
Quantum computing is still in the physical research phase, and it's not clear which qubit implementation will work and be scalable. It would be cool to see recent review papers and comparisons of current approaches, but I can't point you to any such.

On the theory side, the gate model is the standard approach for thinking about quantum computing and Nielsen and Chuang does a good job at covering it. If you need something more basic (to bring you up to speed), you can check out Ch9 in my book, which is an intro to Dirac notation and the quantum gate model: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSguide2LA_previ...

Same here. But I've noticed that a lot of people in my same situation have a dog and make it work. I am more seriously considering it because it's something I truly want and I have a feeling money can solve some of the challenges that I keep imagining.
"You cannot prove a negative" basically means that you cannot prove that some claim or statement is, was, and always will be false (without perfect knowledge of the past, present, and future).

That parenthetical is an important and almost always unstated axiom.

The general inability to prove a false statement does not mean you cannot prove that the answer to some equation is a number below zero. I am not really aware of the phrase being used in the context of math, but rather more often with examinations or experiments that are susceptible to evidence.

To be sure, "you cannot prove a negative" is itself unproven. It more a rule of thumb to remind you not to assume that though some statement is false now that it always was false and always will be false.

It's not perfect, but it's also not a law of logic or anything. It's just a guideline.
I marked myself as passively looking on LinkedIn recently and it’s been depressing.

Now I get that only a certain type of recruiter is out there contacting people but it’s a little unsettling how little information people are providing about the companies. Am I interested? Are you being serious? How would I even know?

If there’s something wrong with me for wanting to know more than two bits of information about a company before I start a conversation, then I don’t wanna be right.

The question is at what cost, the current cost of our privacy is crimes not solved or worst solved crimes that can't be brought to justice since the evidence are not applicable. Furthermore we have research which is being held back due to privacy, think of what the medical industry do with the blood samples or DNA of every person on the planet.
What I am looking for is an argument which will make it worth it.

I've recently got back into chess playing again after decades away. Recently I stumbled upon Agadmator's channel on Youtube [0] where he gives fast, insightful, no nonsense breakdowns of famous and not so famous chess games. Love his deadpan style, and also how he goes beyond the actual game to analyse 'what if' scenarios or explains why a player resigned in some games.

I'm 46 and being in LA have no choice but to work 60+ hours a week. All my friends and support network were destroyed in 2008 and I have been unable to re-create them so I live with no community, no friends, nobody cares about how I'm doing. The last time I tried to go to a doctor to check out my health I was fired for missing 4 hours off that job. I can't have a romantic partner and live as best I can off one meal a day and roughly 3-4 hours of sleep. It doesn't matter if I drop dead because as an engineer in LA I'm less than worthless as a human being.

I've always heard from neuropsychs that an all nighter is a good reset, especially for people who may build up imbalances of one kind or another. I always thought it was because it got the body to actually sleep and detox etc. the next time it got the opportunity. Then again, I may be a bit manic/depressive so it is also something that makes riding out the waves less unbearable.

seeing things under sun is not equal to squirting ur eyes to focus the incoming rays

it's just that much light coming, the intensity of light to be exact.

that's why camera, given the same setup, gives sharper image under bright sun light

I never get as tired playing outside as compared to squirting my eyes all the time just to focus in a room. sun light is just that intense, rooms lightings are much less intense.

I used bitbucket at my last job and it felt like an under-performing Github the whole time. Code reviews were much more painful, the UI was not as intuitive, it's slower and if it has a "search this repo" function I couldn't find in the 2 years I looked.

People don't use it because they are hipsters they use because it works well.

I use gitlab (and to a lesser extent github) at work now and IMO gitlab vs github they are about equal in terms of ease of use and "just working like you expect."

That’s a possible explanation, but I don’t think gels with history. The category distinction I referred to above came out of reformed theology before the Enlightenment and rise of modern science. Francis Bacon (credited with formalising the scientific method) himself described it in his essay Masculus Partus Temporum in 1603.
