> I also worked in a corporation which had mostly women. Women love mind games and politics. Those I worked with definitely did. Presence of women is not necessarily an indicator of a stress-free workplace.

It is imprecise to attribute intent to the politics and mind games that you may have experienced personally in an anecdotal case, using that kind of generalization.

Also it may have had nothing to do with the fact that they were women, just a bad culture in that company specifically. There are plenty of companies with men who suffer the same problems.

Overall it's an unfair generalization.
This is another in a long, long series of breathlessly promoted "urban"/"vertical" farming concepts. In virtually every case the description is projection. The economies rarely work out except for leafy greens in extremely dense urban regions without reliable access to countryside or greenhouse options.
That you have to draw a line somewhere is obvious.

Given that there is no such actual line, and that we would be thus trying to apply a binary idea to a universe that doesn't actually support that - reality disagrees with us, as it were - is it still obvious? It seems harsh that we must obviously do something that we know to be incorrect.

> Vertical farms, if designed in a sustainable way, can be profitable in a long run

This comes down to the cost of urban real estate versus the cost of transportation. As that ratio shifts, the optimal distance from city centre, for an urban farm, moves.
Animals are frequently confused by their own reflections.

While some animals see their own reflections and use them to examine parts of their own body that they could not otherwise see.

Animal research has a long history of finding animals exhibiting something that has been touted as a human-only trait; the weight of experience seems to be heading towards the idea that there is no human trait exceptionalism, only a combination of various traits to various degrees. So many traits that someone has posited as the uniquely human trait has subsequently been seen in animals. Maybe one day someone will find something, but thus far the record isn't good.

Crime in general is a function of socioeconomic status, where migration patterns usually involves a flow of people where those who migrate has relative low socioeconomic status.

There are exception to this when people of high income, wealth, and education moves to an area where the relative socioeconomic status is lower. A typical example is popular (often warmer) tourist locations, and in those cases we don't usually see anti-immigrant views gaining popularity. Following this we could draw the conclusion that anti-immigrantion politics is simply a proxy for politics in regard to an a influx of low socioeconomic people regardless of ethnic or religious backgrounds.

The most obvious one to me (because it was within my field of study in college) is language. Animal communication is very different from human communication and not capable of expressing novel ideas. Someone is going to tell me about Koko the Gorilla, but ape "sign language" is nothing of the sort; at best they've learned to sign a few words, but mostly it seems like they make the signs at random in the hopes of getting food. Looking at transcripts shows how much fanciful interpretation Koko's handlers did. And without language I can't see how animals can be capable of introspection.

> Use JavaScript as "glue for Java" like it was originally intended.

Then we would have come full circle. JavaScript was originally intended as glue for Java applets, but applets never became popular. Instead, Java was used for standalone and server-side codebases, and Beanshell came along as glue code for those. Later, James Strachan added closures to Beanshell's basic functionality, and Apache Groovy was born. Afterwards, Scala became popular and showed that a statically-compiled language could be used dynamically as well, and Strachan said if he'd known about Scala at the time, he'd never have created Groovy. Later, Kotlin showed you could even have builders in statically-compiled code. Now Graal is finally enabling Javascript on the JVM, perhaps selling the idea to developers better than Rhino or Nashorn did.

without language I can't see how animals can be capable of introspection.

One could harshly propose that's a failure of imagination (probably shared by almost everyone else, self-included; I introspect in words too), limited by one's own experiences; since you've got language and use it always to introspect, and probably cannot even remember not having language, you cannot conceive of introspecting without it. More so, since it was your field of study; you've immersed yourself in it to a great degree. I wonder if baby humans without language introspect. It seems there is some evidence young humans do [0]. These people say they've seen it in animals, but I'm no expert [1].

I honestly don't know, but I believe that humans are part of a spectrum of animal and I take the opposite assumption to you; that until proven otherwise, we have no singularly unique trait.

I've been working with the author of this article for the last five years on building Inbot taking care of the backend and technical strategy. For most of this year we've been planning to do an ICO and a few weeks ago we decided to not proceed with that for essentially the reasons outlined in the article.

We are actually keeping the utility token but are no longer planning to do an ICO with that. The plan is for this to be a proper utility token that our customers can buy (using fiat or crypto) to buy services from our user base. This makes it a proper utility token where the value is coupled to economic activity in our platform. Simply put, it's a function of how much our customers are spending on these tokens.

We are launching the token on the Stellar platform. This is after having prototyped our token on Ethereum as an ERC 20 token. Smart contracts have a lot of potential but the current state of affairs in Ethereum makes that a very impractical platform for doing business. There are challenges related to regulation/kyc, UX, performance/throughput, and getting your token listed on an exchange. Simply put, launching a token on ethereum is currently extremely expensive and using the tokens is comparatively hard.

It also requires you to do business with a lot of unsavory types in the industry. This is a big reason for us to move away from Ethereum.

Stellar is so far looking pretty good for us. It has a distributed exchange and compliance protocols. It is proof of work based, which solves the scaling issues with Ethereum as well as enabling microtransactions. Unlike ethereum, we can actually use it to build out our usecases and expect to have reasonable performance and cost. It also has a federation mechanism that allows us to shield our user base from the complexity of dealing with crypto currencies.
fork() requires support for multiple processes. IncludeOS only has one process, so a fork() doesn't make sense there.

Also, I should point out that relying on fork/exec to clean up long running processes sound like something of a hack. Would you really like to have a system that is required to restart itself ever to often as a strategy to manage memory?

We've just spent quite a bit of time implementing a buddy allocator to combat memory fragmentation on long running systems. It seems to do a good job and I believe it is more or less a solved problem.

Well in linguistics they usually postulate a sort of "universal language," where every human being has certain linguistic capabilities that are reflected in universal traits of every human language. The machinery is there but not hooked up, so to speak. (There are also various oddities like twins inventing their own languages) So merely observing that pre-verbal humans are capable of introspection is not, in my view, sufficient to suggest that language and introspection can be separated.

I suppose "introspection" is a pretty woolly term, though, and we could disagree about what the bounds of it are. The abstract about "metacognition" in rats is interesting but I think a little broader than what I had in mind.
Most job are OK if you can talk honesty to your boss and he tries to find a way to make it work.

My first job was in a small 15 people startup that was later sold to larger company. The founder was in his 40's and while he had some technical skills, his people management skills were really extraordinary. I learned from him what it really means if you really believe that the people are the most important resource: you manage every person individually and change things around them to fit them in, not the other way around.

We basically changed the tasks and organization to fit the people who worked in the company every time new people came or left. We even changed
the the main product to fit the skill set and opportunities that came along with the people who worked in the company.

Basically everyone you hire has something that makes them perform less than what their potential is. You can't really change people–they are what they are–but you can change their environment and work they do.

I used Colemak for a year and came to the same conclusion — I use Qwerty again now and am happier for changing back. (I no longer feel/look inexperienced when asked to help on a computer set to use Qwerty, and vim is easier with Qwerty.)

Using Qwerty because “Qwerty won” in the face of better-optimised layouts felt defeatist to me at first, but I accept it as the most practical option for those living in Qwertyland.

Committing to Colemak for a year was a fun exercise to focus on basic typing skills, though — I'm now faster in Qwerty due to better general typing habits (after the initial and frustrating re-adjustment period when switching back).

I wrote about the experience here: https://thisisforeveryone.com/switch-to-colemak-for-the-shee...
If you just want to annotate sounds, it seems like your goals overlap a lot with some uses IPA is designed for. Wiktionary gives /sɑs/ as one pronunciation of sauce.

In any case, you'd have to solve the same problems people already using IPA for English deal with. For one, you'd probably want the same spelling system to be used across all major English dialects, at least necessitating something like using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphoneme.

An example of a situation that shows the necessity of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/linguistics/comments/2g50oo/working... (specifically the pronunciation of "bed", "bad" and "bid" in the GA and NZE dialects)

So for most speakers, different written symbols might be pronounced the same way (i.e. the map from symbol to sound is not injective, and furthermore the map changes depending on which dialect of English you speak).

Additionally, you probably can't simultaneously achieve the goals of

1. use only one character per phoneme

2. use only the 26 characters of the alphabet

If you insist on keeping property (2), some phonemes will be written using (say) two characters, but you'd have to make sure that there's no ambiguity (as there would be if there were three vowels written respectively "e", "i" and "ei").

A vanity metric is a metric that doesn't mean anything but sounds impressive. "Number of free trial downloads" is a vanity metric when what matters to the business is paying customers.

"Pounds of produce produced by a produce company" is a real metric, not a vanity one -- it's just not that impressive of a number in this case.
I really miss something like thematic "groups" or "channels" in Mastodon, i.e., a mechanism for making sure that all the people subscribed get all the messages published in it.

That's the #1 feature that allows separate communities to grow, which makes places like Usenet or Reddit or ICQ to become a global conversation where anyone can participate, and where private conversations between restricted communities can happen independent of a central server.

The "timeline" model where everyone publishes their own stream, and anyone subscribe to individual persons, is good for fast propagating of ideas and news; but it doesn't create "clusters" of like-minded ideas that you can follow, and forces everybody to curate their own inputs. This makes it really difficult to jump in, as building a subscription list that provides interesting content and avoids noise has a lot of friction.

Just for reference, total consumption of leaf lettuce in the US is in the neighborhood of 3 billion pounds annually. Leaf lettuce is the most valuable vegetable crop, it runs about $0.45 per pound.

Is that the Noam Chomsky style built-in, universal grammar theory? I thought (but I really don't know) that had been discredited in recent times. But this is your field of study; not mine.

As an aside on the general conversation at hand, I suspect that the experience of humans is so much based on being a human that we struggle even to think about not being human; that we have so many assumptions we carry about what thinking is and what language is and so on. My favoured example of this is an experiment showing that humans have a special ability for recognising faces, based on giving other primates tests of face recognition. Go humans!

When the test was repeated, some time later, using faces from their own species instead of human faces, it turned out that they were actually also pretty good at it. The original experiment had used human faces to test with, because those were obviously much more distinctive. I suspect, but cannot prove, that we're trying to reason about non-humans from within a prison of human thought and experience and assumption that affects everything.

I found that a helpful overview, too. I wish there were a carefully written, book-length equivalent that went into enough detail for a person with the basic foundation (basic front-end apps, basic server-side apps, HTTP, ssh/cmd line, SQL) to set up a production infrastructure of approximately the complexity of the one in the article.

With that, I could better understand the various managed options out there. In other words, I would be able to shop around and tell from their docs what it is they would do for me and what I would be doing for myself along with the limitations, tradeoffs, issues that needed to be dealt with up front and those that could wait for later (or never), etc.
