The argument here being that there is a reserve supply of latent bees not used for commercial pollination, backfilling the commercial supply?

I think robot bees are a more plausible explanation.

My guess is because it does cost some money to do local peering. My understanding is you need to contact each individual company you want to peer with, make sure you both have a Point of Presence in the same datacenter, sign a contract, etc. So you both need to be renting space in that building and both have an open port on your router, and then you need to pay the datacenter to actually physically run the wire between the routers.
I don't know anything about it, but based on the name, I'll venture a guess.

The audio system has an A/D converter which samples audio at a specific rate -- say 48 KHz. Aliasing occurs when the input to the D/A convert is above 1/2 the sample rate. A 24001 Hz signal is indistinguishable from a 23999 Hz signal. A 25000 Hz signal is indistinguishible from a 23000 Hz signal, etc.

To eliminate these types of problems, there will be an analog lowpass filter before the sampling circuit. There is a gradual rolloff of signal sensitivity. Aliasing still occurs, but the energy of the aliased signals is significantly reduced.

My guess is you take a voice command, even if it constrained to be say 200 Hz to 2KHz, then invert the spectrum and shift it to the 46-48 KHz range. When this high frequency is played back, due to aliasing, the software after the A/D converter sees it as a 0-2KHz signal, though greatly attenuated. To overcome that, the source audio can be tremendously loud. Humans can't hear it, so it remains stealthy.
I'd read managing humans, and other people skills books. You will most likely want to learn how to rely on your peers to build better software than you. Your job as a leader will be more important in your ability to make sure your team is doing the right thing rather than how they do it.
You don't have to hire for Lisp, or any language for that matter. Picking up a language is way easier than fundamental skills (statistics for AI for example). IIRC Dan Weinreb of ITA fame said they gave their new hires a copy Practical Common Lisp and two weeks. You know, the book that you dissed earlier in the thread w/o an argument.

> less libraries are written.

Given that Sturgeon was an optimist[0], that is hardly a problem. The only reason why most OSS libraries are using is because people don't do the due diligence of vetting their dependencies. There are more than enough libraries of adequate quality for common tasks.

I think you may have missed my point (because everything you wrote supports it).

Netflix moved out of their datacenter and into the cloud because their workload was different enough to warrant the investment. Most enterprises don't have enough of a different workload for that to make sense, so they don't move out of their datacenter.

Dropbox didn't actually move out of AWS, they just started storing new data in their new datacenters. They did it because it was cheaper at their scale, it had nothing to do with lock-in.

And for the same reasons, when the next big thing comes along, most companies won't move out of AWS. Unless there is a significant cost savings or significant new architecture, they won't move. They will just put new stuff in the new thing. Lock-in isn't an issue for most enterprises today, and won't be in the future. Inertia is the biggest thing that stops them from moving old workloads to AWS.

Our company got accepted YC which made us to move here during YC and then just stayed. I had visited the Bay Area few times in previous here.

The YC didn't really help or matter much for the visas, it just meant that we had a reason to be here, and our company in US that could sponsor us our visas. As a company owner, you cannot really do H1B easily, so we (2 Finnish founders) applied for O1 visa. We both had some previous projects and background, including the startup, that we could use to make our case for the O1. For O1 you need public evidence: press articles, conference talks, mentoring, lectures etc to prove that you have specific expertise in some category. I actually didn't even graduate, it didn't matter. A year ago, I upgraded my status to green card.

I would recommend signing up for the green card lottery each year, since its pretty easy and good probability to get one in the Nordics. Secondly, I would just visit here couple times, try to get know people and how things work. Then you can start building your "resume". Resume here often means actual visible projects you built, interests etc. European schools or companies doesn't matter much in interviewing for jobs. What matters is your skills, how you can show them and how well you can sell them.

One route is also taking a job in a company that has office in Europe, and then after a year, try to ask for a transfer to US HQ.
This flies in the face of liberal democratic tradition. It effectively makes it mandatory to utilize a network, that bars any party not licensed by the government from acting as a node (the inter-bank network), for any significant economic exchange.

I suspect that by increasing the cost of law abidance, it will encourage defection from the formal economy and its democratically accountable judicial system.
>> "I don't care."

I realize that many people love their various apps and in some cases depend on them (I imagine any one using square) but all I want is a web browser, sms and if I have to: phone calls.

That's not what the green revolution was. It was pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers.

While GMOs are not harmful and banning them is overall bad, they don't have nearly the same magnitude of impact on agricultural productivity as herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers.
From memory (I’ll try to dig up the report) the officer on deck:

- Was going too fast for the number of ships in the area

- Did not call the captain when nearish other ships as procedure required.

- Had in fact gotten too close to several other ships that night.

- Gotten confused between which of two ships was where

- Did the calculations wrong on the closest approach of the collision vessel

- Denied a request to change course away from the collision vessel because then she would have to recalculate a new nearest approach distance

- When a collision was clearly in the future, did not contact the other vessel in any way

- Gave a late turn order, but then immediately countermanded it, keeping the ship on collision course

- spent the rest of the time until the collision freaking out (an enlisted man eventually gave the final turn order that saved some lives)

So it was about as bad as could be, and seven men died.

However, I have a feeling the Captain's court martial is going to turn out worse for him than this.

According to the article you yourself linked to support the claim that there's no problem, that's exactly what they do -- purchase extra bees. That and split colonies (which creates weaker colonies which are more susceptible to death). And this same article admits a substantial price increase in products requiring bees for production.
I know, right? Developing anything on Android, for example, requires Java or Kotlin, tens of GB of SDK stuff and emulator images (if you don't have a device with the specific Android API you want to target), and using Android Studio or fighting with gradle manually. Or you could 'root' your device and fight with Android to run your arbitrary scripts in a severely reduced shell.

I'm sure some Android dev is going to say "but what about blah blah new API new tools whatever?" in response to this.. but my workflow is autotools or meson (and for the Librem5 a crosscompiler) + vim. Or I could write shell scripts using a plethora of cmdline tools and not install anything extra to develop useful, powerful stuff for this device.
> and IIRC default by suse, which is basically the 'red hat' of europe..

Unfortunately not, no. They use GNOME as well, with some customizations: https://www.suse.com/de-de/products/desktop/features/usabili...

As much as KDE is better than GNOME in almost every way (opinion: mine), this is the one use-case that GNOME is built for. For use in centrally administered environments where the user is not really supposed to touch anything. Which is the primary use-case for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (or other enterprise desktop distros, too).

openSUSE is still on KDE and I'm really hoping that SUSE doesn't violently take that over to make it their GNOME vessel.
openSUSE's primary use-case is for home-users, who do need to administer their PC, and it's sort of a power user distro anyways (YaST, btrfs+Snapper, not Ubuntu), so KDE is perfect for that.
Windows: Only works in specific applications. Chrome it works, Microsoft Office suite is doesn't work.
I did, postal worker said "you cannot do this."

I'm curious if there's a list of things like this that the USPS explicitly does not allow..
You may want to see the failure crate. In my practice most errors cannot be handled by a program and the only sensible thing to do is to pass an error description to a user or a programmer. Such fine-grained error type information as in your example is rarely useful. The failure crate provides a way to create detailed error descriptions (see `Context`) and fixes shortcomings of the standard Error trait.

It's cliche, but mastery, autonomy (control over your time), and purpose really does ring true.

Also relationships.
But couldn't this be framed as: the viewer chooses what to request. The agent chooses how to respond, based on the terms offered by the requestor. They could require a payment, a login, or a promise to view ads before responding.

It also spends money developing genuinely unencumbered programming languages that are, in general fact, quite pleasant.

Google can make money in one way and still provide real value in others, and that’s what they (and all of Go’s contributors) have done with Golang.
>because doctors, who generally consider vaccines to be very effective and mostly harmless, are not particularly financially vested...

Interested does not always have to be financial. It is hard for a community to go back on its beliefs. So in all probability, it is possible that a doctor can ignore the negative effects of a vaccine they are seeing due to this and huge perceived peer pressure in talking against the current medical consensus (Which is, as stupid as it sounds, All vaccines are completely safe)

You are missing the point of the Lisp's type system.

Yeah, good question. I don't think it's anything more cryptic than what it takes to scale any business, I was just trying to point out that I made a deliberate decision to focus on what's needed to get from 0 customers to 'some' customers instead of what's needed to get from 'some' customers to many customers. I do hope to eventually go in to more depth about what it takes to scale larger.

Briefly, here are some of the challenges WISPs run in to as they scale:

-Getting contracts with relay sites / towers / places to put their wireless infrastructure. This is one of the most time consuming parts of building a WISP, and it's primarily just about waiting and red tape and making lots of phone calls.

-Geographic limitations - IE we have our little valley covered and we've got as many customers here as we're gonna get, now what? It would cost $XXX to go over to the next town/city/county and we don't really have that or don't have the resources to feel like we could handle that logistically, so we're just gonna stay where we are.

-Network upgrades. IE 10 years ago a 5Mbps connection was pretty good! So we built a network that would deliver that. Now customers want 50Mbps, and the technology is there, but we don't have the capital or the know-how to go do a full network and technology upgrade.
About 20 years ago I had the bright idea of saving trips to the pharmacy by having them mail me my medicine. After it was a week late, I noticed that I hadn't been getting any other mail for a week, either. I went to the post office and learned that my mail was on a vacation hold. Another tenant living in my small building had filed a legitimate hold, and the P.O. decided that it applied to the whole building, instead of just his unit. That was the last time I entrusted anything important to the USPS.
No one forces you to use the feature, just because it's there. Other people do find it useful and they have every right to do so.

I disagree that Amazon is not considered evil.

But really I don’t think anyone deeply believes that these companies are good or evil in the personal human sense, rather it’s a question of incentives and interests.

Google makes money by selling me to advertisers. I understand the business value but I’m personally not comfortable with it.

Amazon makes money by selling me other people’s stuff. I’m comfortable with the business, but sometimes I’m concerned that what’s good for Amazon isn’t what’s good for the people who make the stuff I like.

Apple makes money by selling me stuff that they make. This is the business model that I like best, because when they make stuff I don’t like I don’t buy it, and when they make stuff I love I’m happy to give them my money in exchange.

Buying from the maker is the best win-win virtuous cycle, in my opinion.
I'm sure the jailbreaking community would love to hear from you if you can do the same on iOS.
But you responded in the context of someone explaining why making friends with women in the workplace, in this day and age, is just too risky a proposition.

Don't strawman me again. I never said that it's too risky to make friends with women in the workplace, and that men should never do this. My actual position is this: Right now, in many different contexts, it's a bit too easy for a woman to make a fabricated accusation against a man. There's an imbalance here, both socially/culturally and institutionally.

But specifically, all of this is in response to (what I assume is) a man refusing to make friends with a woman, because of whatever politics they think currently govern _that_ specific dynamic in the workplace.

So what? He's free to associate as he wishes. It's not what I would want, however. It's not how most men behave in most contexts, from what I have seen. Furthermore, there have been adjustments and readjustments of the politics and the balance of power in the workplace, between workers and bosses, between men and women, etc. It's an unlikely one sided fallacy to suppose that justice means that all of the power should flow to one side, only. In our history, an important inflection point was when we realized that due process was required, to prevent the abuse of power by authorities and the powerful.

It _is_ what this is about, fundaments be damned.

Men and women are of the same species. Groups of men and women have been cooperating productively since time immemorial. Again, it is you who are coming out with the idea that anyone should be cast out. No one need be cast out, so long as we are honest about everyone's humanity -- both the good and the bad sides of that.

I was a part of an organization in college that naturally maintained a 50-50 male female ratio. There was no system of quotas or any attempt at adjusting populations. Women who were a part of it, years after graduating, talk glowingly (sometimes longingly) of the equality they experienced in that environment. If men and women -- really people in general -- are to get along, people need to do four things: 1) Be tough. 2) Be kind. 3) Respect. 4) Trust. It also seems to work in culturally Chinese companies in SF. (One good thing about a lot of Communists, is that many of them really are sincere about the equality of men and women.) It's the organizations where people act like they're in Mad Men and the organizations where people have bought into Social Justice where all the drama seems to happen.

"Fundaments be damned?" When you abandon principles, you get chaos. That's precisely when you get injustice.

I was asked #1 "Check if the integer is even or odd" in an interview once. Not worded quite that way but that was the answer they were looking for.

12 years later not a single person I have hired could correctly answer that question[1] and most of them (almost all) have been great productive software developers. So "absolutely must know" is entirely dependent on the type of software you write.

[1] I don't ask it in the interview, I ask it after they are hired and have been with us a few weeks just for fun.
Thanks for the feedback - I've updated my comment to express uncertainty.

As I understand it, a big part of the green revolution, especially initially, was Borlaug developing a strand of wheat that was resistant to many common diseases and had higher yields. This seems born out by a quick skim of his [wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Borlaug), although I'm sure nitrogen fertilizer, etc, also played large roles.

I don't have the time to do a deep dive right now, so I've just updated my previous comment to be uncertain.
I use the Option+Shift+Command+V all the time, especially in emails - that text that I copied from SAP or a Word doc invariably has bizarre formatting and if I Command+V paste it into my email, now the rest of what I type after it is going to be screwed up. A four button shortcut sounds like a pain, but once you use it two or three times it comes pretty naturally. Similar to Command+Control+Shift+4 for setting up a screenshot that will grab straight to clipboard, it's easier than it sounds when doing it on the regular.

Comcast is a "last mile" ISP or "eye-ball network." Technically they are tier 3 ISP> They buy transit from Tier 1 ISPs. Tier 1 ISPs "peer" with all the other Tier 1 ISPs.

So you might be a Comcast and they might be transit from Level 3.
Your friend might be a customer of some small ISP who buys their transit from AT&T.

Level 3 and AT&T are both Tier 1 ISPs. All tier ISPs have an agreement that they will route their respective customer's traffic to from each other's networks. This called peering. hey have peering agreements with each other. More specifically Tier 1 ISP do what is known as "settlement free" peering with each other because no money changes hands. And these are not legal contracts they are just hand shake deals, its an exclusive club basically. There are only a handful of tier 1's although it is a regional distinction. Tier 1 ISP in the US are not necessarily the same Tier 1 ISPs in Australia for instance.

Comcast only has an incentive int that they would have angry customers if those customer couldn't send emails to their friends or family members who use another ISP. This being said there are occasional peering disputes where the internet becomes partitioned and customers of 1 ISP can not reach customers and site on another ISP. And customers do get upset.
