Birds of a Feather - The relationship between humans and parrots
There is a large gap in price and performance between 15-knot container ships and 500-knot aircraft. The former costs $0.1 per ton and takes months (7+37+7 day cargo transit), the later costs $5 per ton and does it in less than a day.

There are already lots of hydrofoil passenger ferries where passengers pay a lot less than a plane ticket but more than a slow monohull ferry ticket to get to a destination a bit more quickly.

On land, you might send something across the country at 60 mph on a truck for $0.4 per ton if you don't want to wait for rail or pay for air, but as far as I know, no such middle ground exists for ocean freight.

There are certainly customers who can't afford and don't need next-day air, but would pay more to get components in perhaps 5 days (60 mph hydrofoil, 6000 mile Pacific crossing, plus a day to load/unload) instead of 5-8 weeks, if there was a business that catered to that.
That is a function of the design implemented. Since you can read a table of figures you can probably also plug them in the heat flux equation in with your own guesses at air gap distances and surface area. The relevant info is that 5 times the energy per degree difference are conducted, that is why any hot spots from friction are smoothed.

Rainbow tables are actually a slight revision on this, because the merging of paths is a bad thing as it leads to false positives. Specifically, I can detect that my hash eventually leads to the end of a chain, but it may very well be that it merged into that chain at some point and so not contained in my table.

Rainbow tables minimize the chance of merges by using a sequence of unhash functions in chains so a merge can only occur if it happens the same point in the sequence of unhash functions.
>“The quantity isn’t relevant without price”

The price depends on the quantity. Price is not baked into the walls, but comes from market conditions. How you can deny that and then claim the high ground about understanding economics is beyond me. This is incredibly easy to check: physically identical homes go for wildly different sums in different markets.

Timr argues above that 1) construction will take time, and 2) it will only continue as long as it’s profitable. No disagreement there. We need to be planning for the long term as well as the short term, and profit margins have a long way to fall before reaching zero.
Looking at "Driver Style Recognition" on google scholar seems to return some results including a few GM patents. The papers appear to mostly focus on accelerometer data over longer periods of time, so they don't seem to be directly relevant to labeling the behavior of other nearby cars. There might however be some newer extensions of the work which could be more relevant to self driving cars, though it wouldn't be unsurprising if it was not published information.
> Honestly, I don't believe any company would "do the right thing". Companies exist to make money, as much as they possibly can.

Don't forget that companies are a tool for people to make money, It they lack ethics it's because a) the people who run them lack ethics, or b) they are too removed from the operation it only means a quarterly stream of money.

Reminds me of this episode from Black Mirror: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entire_History_of_You
Something that works really well but is pretty uncommon:

My 2016 Honda Accord coupe has a wide-angle camera on right mirror whose feed displays in a center display on when I turn the right blinker on (or manually turn the camera on).

Rather than actively do anything (like stear for me) or abstract anything (like warn me when there is a vehicle in my blindspot), it just gives me a plain view of the road to the right of me extending back hundreds of feet, with only the small augmentation of 2 added virtual lines on the road, one at a single car length back and the other at two car lengths back, to help me guage distance.

Simple features like this, which increases situational awareness without abstracting important dicisions away from the driver, are terrific and, despite only having anecdotal evidence of their effectiveness, I would bet my last dollar that improvements like this reduce accidents drastically. I don’t cut anybody off anymore ever, not that I ever did it intentionally in the past, but I am always extremely confident now in knowing whether or not I’m going to be pulling into a lane that has a speeding car approaching from behind or whether a car is in my blind spot, or somebody is about to change into the lane next to me from two lanes over, etc.

Unfortunately, the market seems to be rewarding features that attempt to replace, rather than augment, situational awareness.

I think he ment life in a broader perspective (i.e. evolution) not conscious and aware biological systems as in humans.

I would argue that very few biological systems solve problems, what they do is serve a function which has been dictated by evolution.

i have a pet fascination with air quality- not in any real sense, but im always just wondering about it, since its so varied and virtually invisible. are there any simple small tools you know of that are good at get information about air quality. the only thing i see people sometimes use is a particulate meter that tells them the concentration of particulate matter of various sizes. seems like it would be cool to have a kit of different tools to measure things like c02 levels, voc's, particulates etc
Started doing Tabata sprints a couple years ago. Amazing how much more effective they are versus running at a slower pace for 40 minutes (my old routine).

Also, never knew this, they make self-powered treadmills which are really ideal for sprinting on. I just bought a ASUNA Hi-Performance Cardio Trainer Self Powered Manual Treadmill, it's pretty much ideal for Tabata/sprinting for a home-gym.

> Fever, red eyes, overflowing mucus, extreme soreness and raw throat for days or over a week - are you trying to tell me that this isn't sick?

I'm saying (and so is this study) that these symptoms are not necessarily due to infection. You strain your body to an incredible degree when racing, so it's perfectly plausible to me that these symptoms are just the body recovering from the strain rather than fighting infection.
I may have not made it clear, but like falsedan said, I'm not claiming that all paths must converge, only that at least two paths must converge.

edit: That being said, I made a mistake by following the claim from above that there are 10 possible paths, in fact there are only 9 cards in a row.

Maybe, but has earlier detection really impacted GBM much? It's not like breast or testicular cancer - we can't encourage the population to "examine your brain for lumps". Even today someone could have no obvious symptoms of GBM one day, then have a seizure while driving and die in a car crash the next day.

Though I guess if car crashes were a common cause of death that doesn't require autopsy, you'd see some difference in GBM rates between car heavy places like the US, vs places with better public transit like EU.

I like my free, RSS-shared MP3 files as much as the next listener, but these things aren't free to produce, just like PocketCasts isn't free to make. Podcasters sell ads, and advertisers rightly want something in return. If ads are easy to skip, they have no assurance that they're getting anything for their money, so the money dries up, and the podcast goes under. There is always going to be a game of back and forth between ads and avoiding them, and this is just the next move, if it even happens.
Jeet kune do teaches speed and improvision. If you can react to your opponent, your at an advantage. If your opponent cannot react to you, you are at an advantage. Simple and true.

While knockout/stamina/appearence of futility/tap out may be a path to a win condition, there is nuance to when you have multiple opponents, are in grab/hold positions, when you want to be in a location and/or keep your opponent(s) in a location.

Aikido offers a way to use momentum and joints against your opponents allowing you to have more control over space and situation you normally would. This is also helpful for transitioning into submissions or broken limbs more elligently than punch, tackle and look for an opportunity.

My experience is that aikido is often taught with a delicateness and with less importance on competition/hunger. While I certainly enjoy adrenaline, winning i believe favors the adaptable which aikido seems to provide

That would be a valid position if all the investment into local amenities were at local level. We all pay taxes to build a light rail line, or pave the streets, or maintain the parks, or even create enough demand for shops/restaurants on the main street of a central, single family zoned neighborhood that would never generate enough demand from locals only.
The entity that creates the amenities (the city, or the state) should have a say about development around these amenities.

Another aspect of this is that upzoning will still allow locals to decide... it's not magic, the buildings don't just become skyscrapers when you upzone. The locals have to have a preference to sell to the developer who would build those. All you do with zoning is allow some locals dictate to others what they do with their land, based on semi-accidental status quo.
Yeah but the OP said nothing about biking for an hour every day... OP was replying to a guy who said "We lift 2 times a week. Warm up, then do 2+ reps of a heavy set." That does not at all sound like a guy who burns 3k kcal on a rest day and burns 4k kcal on a bike a few times a week.

IMHO "Barry Lyndon" is one of the best movies ever-made, and I say that as a cinephile who also thinks that Kubrick is slightly (but just slightly) over-rated.

A literature prize like the Nobel is by definition a thing targeted towards literature buffs, and Borges is a god among gods for those kind of people (of which I'm a part of), with or without female characters (come to think of it, I can't remember that many male characters in his books either).

Anyway, I stopped taking the Nobel literature prizes all that seriously the moment when I realized that they hadn't given it to Proust (his duchesse de Guermantes is one of the most important female characters in the history of literature) and Kafka.

Replacing candles was not a pointless job until electrification and incandescent bulbs achieved widespread adoption.

The Edwardian reign was just at the tail end of candle-based lighting. By 1914, most of the households that could afford it would have already installed at least one electric light. The Great War would have devastated the available supply of footmen, and made those still around prohibitively expensive, so I'd expect that any servant-employing house would have given up their candle-men entirely by 1918. They would be electrified afterward, with the hand-carried lighting moving to oil lamps, and any lamp-refill duties moved to less expensive female servants.

After that, those teams of footmen could be replaced by just one footman, or part-time handyman, to replace burnt-out bulbs. We still have people whose job includes responsibility for replacing malfunctioning lighting, including fluorescent tubes and ballasts. But we no longer have people whose sole responsibility is lighting, except perhaps in the very largest buildings, or those with special lighting needs, such as museums.

It wasn't busy work, but the majority of those jobs definitely don't exist any more.

Advertising is a very typical arms race. If you're the only one advertising, a small cheap ad is very effective. If your competitor is advertising you have to spend just as much just to tread water. If you spend more, it forces your competitors to spend more too.

> ... so I think it's hard to argue that Apple has somehow screwed up as a business.

I don't think anyone was stating this. Merely that their ventures into spaces that typically would be privacy-hostile didn't work out for them anywhere near as well as it did for Google and Facebook.

OP's point seems to be saying something more along the lines that perhaps those particular failures helped them decide to stay (or become) more privacy-focused.
I think the selection is a byproduct of the underlying laws, thought one must rely on chance until a system complicated enough to engage in selection emerges. Now, are those underlying laws reliant upon chance? This requires understanding beyond that of the current universe, so maybe.

Actually, infinite refunds / charge-backs are responsible for major friction in our existing systems. Those mechanisms are expensive and add a cost to every dollar sent through them.

Really, microtransactions should be final by default unless you specifically need the machinery of escrow or clearing delay.
A lot of people have pointless jobs, but it seems even more people have jobs that are actively contributing to the wanton destruction of our entire world. I suspect these are both symptoms of our elevation of capital to the status of universal good. This will only get worse as long as we continue to espouse the default view that people who "don't have a job" are useless moochers and people who have high paying jobs are valuable contributors to society.
> Running is probably the worst sport as far as caloric expenditure is concerned.

This is not correct. They are relatively close, though in fact swimming on average will burn slightly less calories than running per hour of activity for most paces of comparative effort [0].

> I've burned an estimated 5000kcal daily on the bike for weeks

This is around 3.5 to 10 hours of cycling a day depending on your weight and speed... There is individual variation of course, but there is no way you are burning this many calories without A LOT of hours on the bike.

A couple of years ago, I took a half-day hike up a mountain called Timpanogos with my son. According to my fitness tracker, I burned over 8000 kcal on that trip. It was a bit strenuous, but not painful. The estimate of calories burned seemed reasonable to me.

EDIT: According to this chart, I probably burned around 600 kcal per hour:

http://www.nutristrategy.com/caloriesburnedwalking.htm

It took us about 8 hours, so the total was probably closer to 4800 kcal.

In any case, the point I'm trying to make is that it's easy to burn a lot more than 2000 kcal per day.
