I would assume you would republish the older version as a new higher version. It's not uncommon in regular software releases.

How does communism really plan to do that when it is fundamentally a materialist philosophy?

You need a philosophy founded on idealism to do that.

>I don't see how this would continue to cause conflicts once people's material needs and wants are all met.

Because Humans are not domesticated animals? Just give him some fresh newspaper and keep his food and water fresh and he'll be fine? No.

>People tend to hate on exceptional people because they have access to more things.

This is basically an unsupportable explanation ("just-so") that is woefully limited, over-simplified, and inadequate. This ignores or dismisses so many other aspects of the human spirit and human nature that I don't know where to begin. If you stop limiting humans and their "needs and wants" to materialistic terms, your entire concept falls apart, which is ironic.

You are also engaging in doublespeak, when you state "once people's material needs and wants are all met" you actually mean "once people's material needs and wants are all equal," because that is the only result you actually could force into reality, but you could never force the satisfaction of human desire.

Human desire is illimitable.

Probably not. That's what I was getting at with this sentence:

> This is a case where a more frequent cadence of lower amplitude might allow a better long term view!

Essentially, the quarterly cadence makes each release a big deal. More frequent releases may have slightly more volatility encouraging investors to look for longer trends.

Ideally you'd have weekly closes but except for large companies that would offer all sorts of swings due to trivia like expense reports or other transients. But GAAP in theory would allow a large modern corporation to close every day. The whole point of accrual is to damp out this nonsense.

Is this still a pro? Reactive programming is very popular in Native Android development and I assume as well on iOS with RxSwift and similar libraries.

I worked on a React Native app for a while and am sure to never return to it. Constant breaking changes, bad/lacking native implementations, and hacky ways of implementing natively supported features like Dialogs/Bottomsheets on Android make it a no-go.

Not really? Yes there are other schools that are worse than Stanford, sometimes significantly more but take a top public school like University of Texas which has 5x as many students from the bottom 60% as from the top 1% (5.4% and 27.7%)

For comparison Harvard is better, MIT is significantly better, on par with Texas, Yale and Princeton are slightly worse.

A Deere X700, which is made in Horicon, is a <100HP tractor. They are real tractors with an optional PTO and 3-pt hitch. No tractor in the world is entirely made by a single company. For starters they all have various semiconductors in them and no tractor company owns a fab that I am aware of.

The whole "life expectancy" calculation which takes into account infant mortality, death by accident, death by childbirth, death by violence, etc., seems to cloud the issue that most people are more interested in, which is "death by aging".

Do women tend to get older than men? Yes they do, and talking about non-age related causes of death, such as the article does, just confuses the issue. Such a question should ignore non-aging causes of death that skew the statistics such as death in childbirth and infant mortality in earlier eras.

Women often complain that men lose weight easier than they do, and that men don't get cold as easy as women. Both of these point to generally faster metabolisms for men, which I would think would cause men to "burn out" their bodies earlier.

I think there are a lot of good points in favor of LeBron, but I still think MJ wins out, if only slightly.

> MJ had a much better supporting cast

To what degree were Scottie Pippen and Horace Grant/Dennis Rodman "much better" than Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, or Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and later Ray Allen? Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely bullish on Dennis Rodman, but none of Jordan's teams ever had an All-Star big man, and consistently defeated teams that did (New York, Utah, Seattle, Detroit). That was especially abnormal in the late 80's and early 90's.

> one of the greatest coaches of all time

This is the biggest point in LeBron's favor, though Eric Spoelstra is a little underrated. There's a lot of overlap between the greatest coaches of all time (Popovich, Jackson, Auerbach, Riley) and the greatest players of all time (Duncan, Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Russell, Magic, Kareem), and LeBron is the biggest exception to that.

At the same time, the pre-Phil Jackson MJ was dubbed "God disguised as Michael Jordan" by Larry Bird and was clearly a wasted talent in search of a coach, team, and system that would make the best use of him. And the biggest criticism of Phil Jackson is that he's never succeeded without having either Michael Jordan, Shaq, or Kobe Bryant playing for him. Aside from the frankly bizarre end of his tenure as GM of the Knicks, Phil Jackson's greatest strength was the ability to manage the egos of passionate, erratic superstars.

> and didn't have to play the most dominant team ever (Warriors) for 4 consecutive Finals

Michael Jordan was the centerpiece of "the most dominant team ever" for two sets of three consecutive finals.

(And frankly, if you want to talk about "the most dominant team ever", you have to look at the 1957-1969 Boston Celtics, who won all but two titles during that span.)

> The Bulls won 55 games during the first year of MJ's hiatus. The Cavs won 19 games the year LeBron went to Miami.

This is a pretty good point. I think removing Michael Jordan from the league entirely led to greater parity overall, and the 1993-94 season had a lot of indications of that (three conference semifinals going to seven games, the 8th seed in the West knocking out the 1st seed in the first round, only one team below 20 wins, only one team above 60 wins). The Bulls without MJ were worth a second round exit, which isn't nothing, but a Cavs team with Kyrie and Love would have done just as well if not better, and the 2016 Heat also bounced back to a second round exit two years after LeBron left.
i'll also add that just "attempting" a litmus test can be a sufficient trigger for a lucid state. i'd heard about "flipping the light switch" from the film waking life. i tried it in a dream and the switch worked fine, but it was the fact that i was questioning whether i was in a dream in the first place that lead me to realize i was dreaming nevertheless (i think thats what the top comment is getting at -- strengthening these habits so that you do things like check light switches not because if they fail you know you're in a dream, but to put your mind into a state where you're always questioning whether you are awake. then you can spot the clues
Or perhaps your different perspective convinced him to stop work on what would have been an amazing development?

I'm just responding to your anecdote and I do agree that different perspectives are valuable. My point above was just that there are many, many places to include diversity and the hyper-focus on the implementation phase (aka development) means you will miss the more valuable lifecycle phases where diversity has much more impact.
I checked again. Maybe I am missing something, I only found a probability course in OPs blog post. Statistics is quite different.
IBM's old PMR system was their front-end, and they used CMVC as the back-end until it got replaced [1]. The two combined did what you described, and was the earliest example I know of as a commercial offering of version control tightly bound to bug reports. Very satisfying to see this concept get more traction with git and various bug trackers. I wish a public open interchange standard would evolve so the different integration combinations wouldn't be so brittle, though.

While i want to see the x86 desktop get a serious contender once again, it has risen on the back of a very open and modular platform.

But ARM based products are virtual black boxes by comparison.

Thus i worry if ARM rising to the challenge on the desktop will lead to an acceleration of the trend of "devicification" the desktop.

I didn't downvote and I think the parent comment is worth exploring. But, the article presents evidence the phenomenon is global; that it is visible in non-accident disease burden (although of course some environmental diseases reflect the pattern of labour); and when the article does engage with potential biological causes it cites preliminary non-human animal data and evidence, and then offers fat distribution as an example of sexual dimorphism, not as the sole, primary, or even necessarily a cause of the mortality gap. So my guess is that anyone downvoting was downvoting the parent comment's flip tone and non-engagement with the article's thesis, not dismissing the possibility that labour markets impact lifespans.

So that sounds nuts (and suspectedly alarmist/political) but it's a nasa.gov link, so...

After reading, it is true but indeed needlessly alarming. Changing underground water levels are influencing the rotation of the Earth, but it's mainly happening in India and East Europe, way far from the east of France.

Key quote:
"The researchers found the answer in Eurasia. "The bulk of the answer is a deficit of water in Eurasia: the Indian subcontinent and the Caspian Sea area," Adhikari said.

The finding was a surprise. This region has lost water mass due to depletion of aquifers and drought, but the loss is nowhere near as great as the change in the ice sheets.

So why did the smaller loss have such a strong effect? The researchers say it's because the spin axis is very sensitive to changes occurring around 45 degrees latitude, both north and south. "This is well explained in the theory of rotating objects," Adhikari explained. "That's why changes in the Indian subcontinent, for example, are so important.""

Whenever CA's prop 13 is brought up, I find it interesting when the article doesn't mention that commercial properties are also covered. They can be owned eternally by a corporate entity instead of paying property taxes anything near resembling current commercial values. This one at least mentions it, but the odd part is that this was used as the justification of extending inherited tax rate grants to families, instead of removing it from commercial properties.
I was going to mention this, too, since it is potentially one of the bigger factors at play here. Some of the other comments suggest there may be a difference in aging-related lifespan when other factors (e.g. occupational fatality) are corrected for.
A man will generally have more body fat than their female counterpart hence men will not feel the "cold" as easily. I'm not sure that having more body fat than women is a good indication of a higher metabolism.

There are also more healthcare opportunities for women compared to men so I suspect that also plays a part and then there is also the fact that women tend to live less stressful lives than men (choice of occupation) which is probably the biggest contributor to ones own life expectancy.
