The reproduction crisis affects all social sciences, and medicine to a certain degree. In fact anything where it's difficult to isolate and control for the phenomena are facing this. Climate science, Economics and food science are all suffering similar issues.

I think this speaks more to the nature of academia, and the commercialisation of publication than the validity of the field in and of itself.

> carpo#Latin

> Compare Greek καρπός (karpós, “fruit”) and κείρω (keírō, “to cut off”), English harvest, sharp, shear.

Carpe diem totally fits; You just have to consider that an optimum can be approached from two sides, ie the right time to harvest, neither too soon nor too late. In another sense it might mean the day is ripe, I guess. But it's not cape diem, not take the day away.
It's somehow funny to me that they refer to Textio's CEO as "Mr Snyder", when she at least according to the company's Team page[1] seems to self-identify as female. Amazing what a one-letter typo can do.

Terrible Arguments Against the Constitutionality of the Mueller Investigation
Hard to distinguish, as clinical depression produces many of the maligned behaviors, making it reasonable to read this piece as an attack on those suffering.

OTOH, there is a CBT angle here. That is, a depressed person may find relief in working to recognize and change the behaviors and thinking that supports those behaviors.

Different people are different. I seem to be able to eat any level of sugar I want without putting on a pound, but the missus is having to go on a low-carb diet.
I wonder, am I the only one who's actually happy to be a paid up Google customer? I own a Chromebook and an Android phone and have migrated absolutely everything onto google drive, play and photos. It's a wonderfully relaxing compute experience. Everything just works and works well.

Yes I know they're mining data about me and are likely making money off that. But has that actually had a tangible negative effect on my life in any way at all? I'm not aware of anything bad, and their products are a boon to my life.

I've invested in a couple of other web sites to satisfy my requirements (like picmonkey) and have a DigitalOcean account for my VM needs, but that's it.
To clarify things a bit. I am not trying to prove falsehood of dualism. I'm trying to show that arguments for dualism are inconclusive and sometimes are plain and simple circular, but circularity is masked by intuition pumps. So it's all mostly intuition and I've no expectations of changing yours.

Physicalism is based on intuition too, but as I said it requires less epicycles.

First person experiences exist. First person experiences are uniquely determined by physical processes. The end.
The Novint Falcon that I linked came with a demo program in which you could 'touch' spheres made of different kinds of materials (I remember sandpaper, sand, ice, molasses) each one providing different kind of feedback (slipping in case of ice, stickiness in case of molasses).

One limitation I see is the size of workspace but with right setup I think it could be an interesting concept to explore.
My (very limited) understanding is that the rule about works for hire only applies to non-employee contractors under certain tightly defined circumstances. Actually employing a photographer as an employee would mean you own the copyright, paying the photographer as a contractor would not.
I did - $500 a month. I have no idea what communitng costs, and little idea about rent.

I have a 5 second commute from the bedroom to the office (3 minutes if I go downstairs and boil the kettle first), far easier. Monthly Mortgage is less than the weekly rent that one colleague pays in London, and he still has a 45 minute commute each way.
Isn't this whole idea flawed? How is dynamic JS content update easier for browser than static HTML5 content? Overall amount of CPU time and RAM used will be larger so if anything it's not faster or lighter. Also turning off JS for site using this lib makes it unusable.
No, given that my eyes are already so dry, and this plus contacts led to me injuring my corneas on more than one occasion, one of which meant I spent ~2 weeks in a dark room, essentially blind. So doctors recommend I do not do Lasik. :(
How do you hold your tongue otherwise ? I don't think I ever did it differently (and my teeth are okayish but not great, I refused to have braces for one lightly spinned bottom canine, but had an apparatus to widen the palate because my upper right teeth were wrapped by the bottom ones).

It isn't "a different way than I do"; its different from both the defacto meaning of the term open source, and it isn't according to OSI. That makes calling such open source deceiving, just like calling shared source open source would be deceiving. Seen enough of that shit to stick to frameworks such as OSI-approved (which is more liberal than FSF or DFSG so it could be even more strict ie. we're being generous).
This is an hilarious response.
The reason for sharing this is to get more people involved.
Dawn of the New Everything – With Jaron Lanier
i am foreigner started a small company in Tokyo in 2014.
i dont have many papers to fill in except annual tax report. what kind of papers do you need to submit?
That's the most detailed explanation of things I can find in this thread. Thanks.
Since this paper is so old, it should have the date in the title (2009 I guess).
Japanese restaurant are indeed pretty heavy on proteins and don’t serve a lot of vegetables ( except rice), but the ingredients in meals are much less processed ( chicken look like chicken, and meat like meat), and probably contains less additives. Another big difference is also quantities ( largest japan size = smallest US size) and sweet.
And then home-made family style japaneese meals are also very different from restaurants, with a lot more vegetables.

I went to new york a long time ago, but i believe you’re right in that it’s probably one of the few places where you can eat correctly for a normal price in the US.

Some areas in Europe do offer spot pricing (~hourly interval IIRC) for electricity, even for consumers. I don't have such a contract, so I'm not sure how good the pricing APIs are for autoscaling your consumption.
Solar Technology Can Now Power Your Roads – And Your Clothes
What would such hardware be like? The first thing that comes to mind to me is some kind of glove that covers the arm and shoulder too, and can dynamically tense up many different regions on its surface, to restrict muscles/tendons.
Hint: work from home, start at 7am, finish at 3pm, switch work phone off, do whatever you want afterwards, perhaps going outside to catch some sun, some sport and meet similarly minded people; that would do wonders both for your productivity and happiness. Sometimes I think the usual 9-5 was designed to damage everyone to be easier to control and with no energy to do anything threatening to whoever has the illusion of being powerful.
> but it sure feels shitty when someone steals your idea and claims it as his own.

Such is the life of the salaried employee.

There are advantages though, in that you don't have to run with the idea. You can just go home in the evening and be with your kids.

Also, if it turns out to actually be a bad idea it's not your problem either!
Why not add a writing date, and once its published add the publication date?
I don't think an umbrella company is needed. Wait to setup an LLC for each side project as they become profitable and show continued growth. That way each project/company is in their own silo.

For side projects give them their own domain/branding don't worry about linking to parent company or your site.

If it's an info product that you are using your personal brand/blog to market, then link back to your personal site.
young Zuckerberg marveling at being trusted with access to people's private information without understanding the implied mutual understanding his users assumed to be self-evident

I disagree; he understood just fine, hence saying "they trust me". I'd say he was marveling at the naivety of those users for putting such faith in a random stranger. He probably, like so many of us into computers back then, had an understanding that you didn't use your real name online, let alone pictures or addresses. Seeing 4000 people blindly disregard basic safety rules would certainly be remarkable.

Where I diverge from him is that my action after calling them dumb fucks would be to kill the experiment and warn people of the dangers of what they were doing, not doubling down.
hey my company has 1 person (me) and i paid only 10,000 jpy per month for a visiting accountant.

The big advantage Jobs had is that he never had to answer to anyone. It was always "his company". Except when it wasn't of course!
Yes! What's stopping me is usually that I'm not entirely sure how to do something or I'm afraid that I will uncover some really hard or time consuming problem when I start doing the task. Instead, often only a short time is needed to get an overview of the task and realize it's not that hard.

For me, the first step is to commit to only a five minute overview and information gathering session. During those five minutes I will figure out what output is expected from me, write down a couple of concrete tasks, and then start with the one that either looks like it will add the most value or, if I'm low on energy, the one that's most fun. When I tick it off, I'm at least closer to completion and hopefully has enough momentum to start the another task on the list.

All of the above are best case scenarios, as I still usually put off things for way too long and have to work through the night to catch up. I constantly try to improve this, but as soon as one deadline has passed with a marathon work session, I relax because the next deadline is far off.
Across countries, culture and perhaps public policies are huge confounding factors. Comparison within the US is at least less influenced by those factors.

Handle the "business side".

From 30 minutes reading about this and no prior knowledge about the project or the people involved, this seems to be the probably wrong timeline:

1. Developer starts a project, hacks on it for a while.

2. Developer decides he'd like to get paid for hacking on project.

3. Enter guy. Developer and guy incorporate, with guy as CEO and director, developer as CTO and person who does all the coding. Ownership is 50-50, company assets and personal assets are a mess (domain name & DNS are on the CEO's personal card, copyright for the code CTO writes is not assigned to the company, CTO controls private keys, and some are his personal private keys from before the incorporation).

4. CEO & CTO have a falling out wrt company direction.

5. CTO takes this personally, as a betrayal, seeing the falling out as the destruction of the project he has built basically single-handedly at great personal sacrifice.

6. CTO destroys private keys, plans to sue over copyright. Project is now imploded.
> Isn't this a rationalization borne from the premise that sugar already is everywhere?

I don't think our current societies' rush to outlaw everything that's unhealthy if used immoderately is a particular high ideal. If weed was introduced into our lives today, it would be made illegal, and it was, and nothing good came out of that. The fact that we'd probably outlaw sugar tells us more about the quality of our political systems than it does about sugar, in my opinion.

Sugar and sweets has been a fixture of life for hundreds of years, but two major things have happened: cheap, processed food, which of course is a boon especially to poorer families, but which has way too much sugar to make it taste of anything, and a radical transition in modern lives away from hard, physical work. As long as you burn it off again through physical work, sugar isn't terribly bad for you. It's when you consume hundreds of calories more than you burn every day sustained that the wheels come off.

I think that's a good point, but it's just unlikely to actually happen with startup options because of the typical 90-day exercise clause and limited information.

The 90-day exercise clause and options instead of shares effectively forces you to buy the coconut, meaning that instead of a 50/50 chance of 0/200, if you plan on leaving before the event that resolves 0/200, then if your strike price on a coconut is $50, it's more like 50/50 chance of -50/250 because you expect to have to exercise when you leave. You can play with the exercise cost, but it does change your math quite a bit regardless. Now if startups gave actual stock instead of options or if they don't place a 90-day time limit on exercising vested options, this wouldn't be an issue. But almost all startups do it this way.

The second point is that the company often doesn't look dead until much later. You're just not going to be able to tell one year in, or two years in, or three years in. So you won't be in a good position to capitalize on volatility like you would on the public markets.

Then you have things like liquidation preferences that will skew your EV calculation, except they might happen after you join, but you may or may not ever find out that those gotchas are there.

As it stands, all of this just creates an incredibly inefficient market that requires employees to take badly informed, high risk bets, where they often don't have deep enough pockets to absorb the risk.
Leasing things that are already up there and have downtime is going to be a future possibility. I don't know about cheap though. No idea. Dynamics like Moores law will make it possible at some point. It's a general hunch.
Why not? It'd be a complete package then.

Admittedly naive ask. I hear this argument that residential solar panels are not very cost-effective. A former colleague once told me that after Government subsidies, his break-even point for solar investment was 12 years. I didnt ask him at that time. I'm assuming he was referring to energy buyback from his utility provider for his math. Isn't that against their business incentive to support residential solar?

If one has a house, and covers the roof with self-purchased solar panels, and hooks them up to a large enough battery-box, wouldn't it just be "I saved the cost I would have paid as my utility provider's bill"? That way the return on investment is more manageable and is without being held at the mercy of the power companies?

Glen Breton? That sounds like it's simultaneously from Scotland and Bretagne. Sounds like the EU court would disapprove, but I notice it's available here. Apparently their labelling does make it clear it's from Canada rather than Scotland. Maybe that helps? But then the German brewer should be able to do the same.

It's not even ethics, it's straight out theft. If you agree to pay someone for work, they perform the work, and you fail to pay them, that's theft. Or fraud, if you prefer.

Either way, they are crimes, and company owners who fail to pay their employees should do jail time.

It varies by location and affluence. When I was going to a public elementary school in the midwest, in the very early 1990s, we had "pizza days" that happened once or twice a month but generally the food was fairly healthy.

I think they maybe had deserts like pudding sometimes. There were no sodas or junk food available at all. The drink choices were 2% milk, chocolate milk, or water.

What I do remember is the food seemed fairly low quality. Canned and frozen packaged stuff, never anything resembling fresh. Every kid got the exact same meal unless you had some medical exemption.

In high school there were some bad choices available in the menu. There were soda and junk food vending machines, but they weren't part of the normal cafeteria and I never had money for them. While there were unhealthy options, there were also many healthy options and you simply bought what you wanted. The freshness was maybe a step up from elementary school.

I think there may have been efforts to remove the vending machines since my time there.
In Sweden, sweets and ice cream are banned at my kids' pre-school and school through the official system, but then a kid will move and have an ice cream sending-off celebration or an instructor switches jobs and does the same. Also, we just had celebrations for the start of summer vacations, with cookies and lemonade. So the ban is definitely not the complete ban that I would like, since they make constant exceptions for individuals to bring their own stuff and even serve it themselves on special occasions.

Both school and pre-school make it sound like they don't allow sweets, so it's very disingenuous. At least they're not served lemonade daily for lunch, and the afternoon snack is fruit.
If they want to sell it in a particular market, they have to obey the rules of that market. The EU market is a very attractive market, but with very strict standards.

This is basically the source of most EU-US trade disputes. The US wants to sell to the EU according to US standards, and the EU won't allow it.

Prices are heavily linked to demand, further if demand starts to drop significantly some producers will try to dump as much as possible before their supply becomes 'worthless'. On the other hand many suppliers are rapidly running out of oil.

IMO, it's going to get interesting.
Since Germany never gained independence from the UK by force of arms, it should be "whisky".

This is a joke: given that they only have to fit the two data points of the USA and Ireland, one can make up any number of "rules" for whether it's "whisky" or "whiskey".
Replacing uncounscious bias, with conscious bias based on words that take into account both the employer and the canditate prejudices towards some words is a crazy tricky line of thought.
To me it seems there's a problem, let's add an aditional layer of complexity to make it more intentional and less visible. The end result is that adverts get even more filled with prejudice.
Relay (Modern) doesn't require any of the Relay-specific schema patterns. But most of them (connections, the node interface) are useful enough to want to use anyway.
