I suspect tides have an impact until you leave the continental shelf and get into deep, deep water.

The thermal vents from volcanic activity seem to be reasonably well insulated from cyclic activities at the surface. They would likely only see variation from cycles with much longer scales, such as the 26 ky axial precession cycle, the 41 ky axial tilt cycle, the 100 ky orbital eccentricity cycle, the 112 ky apsidal precession cycle, the 300-500 My tectonic supercontinent cycle, etc--the ones that can change climate and geology, rather than just weather.

The vent dwellers might get an inkling if an ice age has been going on the surface for a while, or if runaway greenhouse effect is boiling off the ocean surface.

Haven't read the details yet but if OP is here I would recommend renaming "second-order thinking" to "second-step thinking." Second-order, in the mathematical sciences, has a connotation which is likely contrary to what you intend. When speaking about something that is not literally expanded in a power series, it usually references something that is much less important that the most important contributer.

I'd absolutely love to see that experiment. It's something that I think would be applicable to so many other fields as well. But you'd also need to strictly control for everything. As Botvinnik said, chess cannot be taught - only learned. If the adults are just phoning it in, the result is of course preordained.

In my opinion, I think anybody (of at least 'normal' mental capacity) has the potential to make master. Will any of my adult students do so? Absolutely not. They want to improve at chess, but want to do so in a way akin to taking a pill. Like you obviously know there is an immense amount of work to improvement and chess improvement is extremely weird. For instance extensive tactics study are key for improvement, but it's not like you'll see it instantly reflected in your rating - and after some time of diligent work and effort, it's entirely possible that somebody's rating might have even decreased. Something I experienced, as well as most other stronger players I know, is the 'stair step.' You don't improve steadily and linearly, there's these weird huge jumps where it seems like somehow you wakeup one day and are just xxx points stronger.

People understandably expect proportional rewards to proportional work, but that's just not how chess improvement works. I also think this is how so many adults get trapped in opening study - there the rewards can be immediately visible, even if it's not really all that helpful to your overall improvement. Kids don't really think about these sort of things and often just enjoy learning about the game and solving the problems. But adults are generally doing it as a means to an end and have much more difficulty dealing with the nature of improving at the game. And it can also directly lead to self doubt in them as they use this as an indicator that they've plateaued, lack talent, or whatever else. And lacking confidence in chess is a great way to kill your results.
> National Socialism is an (extreme) offspring of Socialism

No, it's not, though (especially early on) the mixed salad of policy proposals from different sources they adopted as a platform did include some originating in socialist movements.

Nazism was an right-wing authoritarian populist movement much like Trumpism, and much like Trumpism some of its early appeal to the working class came from some superficially left-wing prescriptions decontextualized from their ideological roots.

> is entirely left-wing to modern standards

Even less true.

> I have actual textual evidence from the man himself to proof it:

No, you have quotes from Hitler that demonstrate that he tried to use appeal to association with socialism as a sales technique. It's not all uncommon for leaders of authoritarian movements to use the rhetorical association with different ideologies than their own as a promotional technique, as hinted at in the “Democratic” in the name of the former German Democratic Republic and the current Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

> Hitler hated "the Left" (as in Marxist Socialism, but mainly because he didn't believe in "their kind of Socialism") as much as "the Right" (Liberalism/Libertarianism).

Classical liberalism is not the right, though it overlaps the part of the right that Hitler opposed in that some portion of it (basically, the part sometimes distinguished now as neoliberalism plus that labelled right-libertarianism) is part of the 20th-21st Century center-right. The Nazis, Fascists, and similar movements were novel far right groups with some similarities to classical conservatism (but incorporating modernist elements from classical liberalism, and corporatist elements various sources across the spectrum, peppered with populist rhetoric.)

The question is to ask though is if the New York Times prides themselves on their quality of journalism - why do they continue employing him? Why does the top US newspaper continue to publish his articles?

While I like a lot of the New York Times content (their investigative journalism is top notch), I question what their vision is if they continue publishing his stories. His gaffes (not citing sources, not vetting sources, not issuing corrections) go against the basis principles of science, social sciences, and journalism. Simply put, he shouldn't be allowed to publish in any paper that takes itself seriously.
I feel like this warrants a longer, better supported post, but it seems like the meaning of "lonely" is extremely (overly) relative. Since a lot of studies hinge on self-reporting loneliness this has a huge impact on the data available to diagnose long term trends.

There are numerous ways in which Dharma debt agreements can interface with insurance contracts:

1. We've already seen some members of our developer community working on trustless credit default swaps -- which are functionally insurance contracts that use the programmatic endpoints of Dharma debt agreements to assess claims on defaults.
2. For non-fully-collateralized insurance contracts, Dharma debt agreements can serve as the mechanism for tracking and administering the tokenized bonds that capitalize the insurance contract.

This is a case of "system worked as intended." Humans are fairly audit-able, can be seen, and public discourse can have its moment.

Look at it from another viewpoint: you want to achieve something that can't be done by one person. So instead of doing it yourself, you need to organize a group of people to make it happen. And you need to give up control and really allow them to do their part as they see fit (and not as you see fit).

It is exciting to see what you can achieve by communicating your goals to a team and by working with them on the goals. It feels like you are able to multiply your forces.

What the author points out is you need to be willing to do different things than before: instead of coding, you mainly listen and talk, and remove obstacles so that others can work undisturbed on the details.

I totally agree that this is not what everybody likes. But it is also not some 'marketing cancer'. It is simply what must be done if your team becomes larger than ~7 people.

With most databases, you don't need to reuse it to get the maintainability win with temporary tables. (The notable negative exception being Oracle.) Furthermore it gives you power to control the query plan - a feature that I've found very helpful with both MySQL and PostgreSQL on occasion.

You would have to be much more disciplined with your approach. With Redux, if I store a reference to any part of the state, I am guaranteed that the value will never be changed by Redux itself (so, unless I manually mutate it, it is guaranteed to be frozen [0]). Because of this, I can do things like safely store a value off of the Redux state inside a component, and when the state changes, I can compare the new value against my stored value to see if it has changed. If you directly mutate state, then the reference would update in-place, so there is no way to compare changes locally without first making a copy.

It also goes the other way: I can't accidentally change the state by mutating the object I get back. With your scheme, any "accidental" mutation on any part of the state will actually change the state. This opens up a whole world of bugs, because any time you want to store part of the state locally (inside a component, for instance), you have to remember to make a copy if you want to guarantee that no unwanted side effects occur. (Plus, getting into the convention of "everything is immutable" means you can generally be much more confident about passing objects around without fear of them being mutated unexpectedly.)

Edit: Now that I think about it, what you are proposing sounds pretty similar to MobX.[1] You should check it out if you haven't already. I personally strongly prefer Redux for the reasons I mentioned, but it's a pretty solid library either way.

[0]: In development, it's very easy to enforce this with Redux by simply calling `Object.freeze` on the state in the root reducer, completely preventing the state object from being mutated.

If you have aliases in a dotfile that you might want to have quick access to when on a new computer, this could be helpful too.
Teacher in trouble after informing students of fifth amendment rights (2013)
> I'm talking about the internals of couchjs.

_list functions stream, and was specifically designed to be able to stream. However, streaming does not help much in this case, moreover too small chunks dramatically reduce already awful _list perf.

Taking this in account I see no value for views to stream. Sending all emitted KVs for the doc to Erlang bits in one turn seems both much more predictable and safe.

> Multiple CVEs have been reported including a full RCE, which was patched in later versions

Last CVEs has nothing to do with Spidermonkey. BTW they may be patched without upgrade, with 5LOC long design document in Erlang.

The main reason of last CVEs is inconsistency in parsing improper JSONs by Erlang parser. Namely, most JSON parsers process '{"abc":1, "abc":2}' as {abc:2}, but old jiffy parses it as {abc:1}. BTW severe inconsistencies in parsing JSON are pretty common across implementations, please read http://seriot.ch/parsing_json.php for more details.

> Citation needed. There's an issue specifically about this in the CouchDB issue tracker if you'd like to read more.

I‘ll give you no cite, sorry, because we discovered the effect during internal tests. Reason is simple: accessing values in deep branchy JSONs is generally faster in JS, because it‘s native format. JSON in Erlang is a monster like {[{<<"abc">>, 1}]} for {abc:1}, which, when has a lot of levels and nodes at each level, performs bad for selecting random node.

> Curious what kind of database sizes you're working with too

We sometimes measure number of docs with M postfix ) Not very often, however. In my humble opinion, if you plan to have CouchDB with, say, 100M docs in a single bucket, you probably chose wrong solution.

BTW, same for large kitchen DBs for buckets with, say, 10K docs.
Thanks for the kind words!

In the short-term, as you correctly alluded to, we're focused on loans that are fully-collateralized on-chain. In the future, however, we hope to integrate trusted third-party underwriters into the network in order to open the door for unsecured loans. There are many technical / game theoretic challenges to be solved on this front, though, so we've included unsecured loans as an "experimental" feature set in this initial release.

I have not seen it in the announcements but one of the features I sea on the P beta is that when I dismiss a notification, the OS might ask me : 'you often display these notification, should I continue displaying them ?'

The groundwork is here with the channel API anyway.

Apps can declare as many channels as they want in order to post notifications there.

For exemple a music app will have the music channel (duh) and maybe a push discovery one.

The developper sets whatever property they want for these channels, but the users can override them. You can for example change the priority, sound or even completely hide them.
