I already conceded the survability aspect ("except in cases where the changes affected our food supply").
If this drivetrain achieves its claims I will be very impressed. Shaft drive designs have been around for as long as chain drives; and they have never been as efficient. So mush is lost in the torsion of the shaft. A 2% increase in efficiency is an absolutely massive gain. The cycling industry is littered with flashy looking innovations that don't live up to the hype. The basic design of a diamond frame and chain drive has not been improved upon for over 100 years.

But every now and then there are innovations that acually take hold. For example, the slant parallelogram derailleur, hydraulic disk brakes, suspension (for mountain bikes), and recently narrow-wide front chain rings. We shall see how well this drivetrain goes.

Fantastic resource, thanks
Its not quite out in the open yet, but it is happening when you sit on the table and negotiate. A prime builder in the most prime location (BKC) is offering nearly 30% off on initial quote after a few rounds.
There is humongous over supply in areas like Goregaon and Worli/Lower Parel. As per industry sources there is very little movement for properties north of INR50m which is essentially every apartment >=2br south from Bandra onwards.
Builders like Oberoi have still not managed to sell flats which have been ready for 3-4 years in Goregaon, resulting in the recent 25% * 4 years scheme. It's a matter of time till they capitulate.
Even otherwise, if they stay at old rates, they're effectively falling on account of inflation every year.

I think you've got a fair point. But democracy is the least worst system of government that we know of. This idea has been around for a long time. I know the Churchill quote 'Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.' Apparently he said this in the 1940s but he attributed it to some earlier source.

Modern well established democracies have just had a longer time to refine the system to a slightly less shitty version of the democracy that come before them.

So you might be right, but I wonder if it's the journey that matters? Ie is it that countries have to go through the process in order to get to a better place? So you can't just drop a democracy system from another country in place somewhere, and hope that it works. That of course doesn't mean you shouldn't learn from the mistakes of others.

How exactly blockchains helps with that? It's open protocol which helps but most of the people interact with it through centralized points wallets providers, exchanges etc and we already see classic centralization. It seems to me similar as it is with Facebook which interacts with open protocols but is many people have to go through it and solutions seem to be legislatively rather than technological(although I hope projects like blockstack can help with this)

I mean for example one of the big problems Browsh has is not rendering text that web developers have hidden in the DOM to be displayed on some kind of mouse interaction. So Browsh has to ask JS to query the `display: hidden`, `z-index`, etc values to ensure that it doesn't render text that is not intended to be displayed until after an interaction.
I argue the parsing "problem" is not really a "problem" (for most people, anyway).

When you view something as a problem, the problem should have an input and a desired output. The name of a parsing "problem" assumes that the input is a grammar and the output is a (hopefully efficient) function from a sequence of symbols to a parse tree or a boolean flag certifying that the grammar accepts given string. Naturally, solving this "problem" requires a general algorithm that works well for most or all variety of grammars.

However this setting is far from the current practice: people just avoid a grammar that is hard to parse at all! Of course there are many practical grammars have ambiguities that require hacks, but there seems the maximum number of hacks permitted, and people ditch a grammar requiring too many hacks. Limiting l-value syntax to a subset of r-value syntax works because there is generally only one of them in the entire grammar. Well, even in the (LA)LR age people just resorted to the semi-automatic s-r conflict resolution without much thought. So the grammar is not an uncontrollable input; in many cases it is flexible enough to make the whole parsing "problem" irrelevant.

I still believe that having a solution to the general parsing problem is nice (there are still a lot of applications with no control available to input grammars, granted), but I think its importance is somewhat overvalued.

Prediction markets work just fine already, thanks. The blockchain equivalents are a terrible use of the technology, since they need to use external sources to get the results of markets.

I would use Prisma over Graphcool. Prisma is really good and allows me to write CRUD functionality quickly and safely. It's more complicated than Graphcool (or other BaaS) since you have to host your own server which talks to your Prisma instance which in turn speaks to your database. You can host your own Prisma instance in docker or have Prisma.io host it for you. That will probably limit your hosting options to AWS since you would want your server, prisma and db to all be co-located.

I think the Graphcool framework is dead and is on the backburner. It's great for simple projects but not anything else. I think the Graphcool/Prisma team have realized this and this is why they released Prisma and this is where all the dev effort is going.
Amazing, thanks for this!

I completely agree with your POV. Hoping corruption will go away is a fool's game indeed. Just trying to highlight that compared to US system of 2 party rule, India is a true multi party system since the 90s (from a faux one earlier when Congress dominated). The BJP lead coalition appears to be reversing this but its dominance is still far below the levels enjoyed by Congress from 1947 to late 80s. And there is good possibility of its dominance reducing starting from the state elections scheduled later this year.

Even if that were true (and I'd challenge the variety of species and plants, see [1]): what, objectively, is the problem with that?

Furthermore, even if the pace and breadth of current extinction were that dramatic, isn't the argument against that a purely emotional one? I sincerely doubt that most humans can even name a hundred species; would they really miss a few million if a few million others remained?

Just to be clear again: I'm not arguing against conservationism, I'm interested in the arguments being made for it. I believe we are conserving for own selfish purposes, and I'm perfectly OK with that. I just think it's wrong to call that "natural".

You make a good point, although I have a reservation about you somehow knowing "we could do without" some wired instincts that at first glance seem destructive. It's hard to verify whether or not society would do better if people weren't wired that way, so it seems quite spurious to assume that that would be the case. If you do it from a purely ideological standpoint I can certainly see that, but then you have to recognise it's not a given: It's simply something that you wish was true.

It depends on what he wanted out of it. It was quite obvious nothing of the size of that submarine could fit in that narrow portion of the cave.
