Fucking the environment is very unlikely to destroy humanity, and that is really the only concern of any species.

As conscientious pieces of a greater whole, however, there are definitely more pressing issues.

> "PP is a really cool and unique game, but there's tons of games with similar art styles and it's impossible to understand what's good about it from a trailer"

I have to disagree with this (well, the second part of your assertion anyway; I absolutely agree it's a cool and unique game!). Just reading the premise of Papers Please was enough to hook me. I just knew I would like it, and wasn't disappointed when I actually bought it.

Also, all of Lucas Pope's games are visually distinctive, and Papers Please is no exception. I absolutely cannot think of any other game with a similar visual style which wasn't also made by Pope.

Idk but I always hate on the new redesign until I get used to it. The only exception being reddit - still using the old reddit design
My family (father's side) left Scotland and the company towns in the 30's and we're planted in Canada.

Mother's side left much later—from Derry & Belfast in the early 60's—notably to get away from the Troubles— but that's another thing altogether (yet still rooted in English interference...).

Still it's long been on my list to visit. I still have family in Belfast and Newcastle and some in Edinburgh and London. There's even an old Fairlie castle I'd like to see. Reminder of what became a family of tradesmen used to be haha... it's kind of striking to read back in family history and seeing a few common names repeated again and again. Mine pops up in this article (namesake, rather) — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairlie_Castle

Sadly, the family is noted as being extinct. We're still here, just not reflective of what it was, I suppose.
So, it might basically be ”worth” it to just smash your device(s) instead of refusing and paying the fee. Im not gonna do that, just raising an interesting point.

This makes me particularly uncomfortable. There should be reasonable grounds.

That does seem low, out of what I assume is hundreds of thousands of travelers. With that said, it still doesn't sound reasonable.
Ah! The classic "optimize for only and only productivity and nothing else" argument.

The purpose of living in society has many goals. One of them is to work in such a way to improve what and how we improve so we can have more wealth. But there are plenty of other goals. Such as not destroy the environment. And most importantly, to make people in society happier.

A coal power plant is not allowed to use low grade highly polluting coal because even if its cheaper to do so, the outcomes for society are worse with it than forcing the power plant owners to spend more money on more expensive coal. Its a reasonable restriction on what inanimate resources can be used by a corporation.

A university should be made to have better parity between genders. It might lower the scientific productivity of the university - evidence needed. But not doing so has the negative societal outcome of making a lot of people very very unhappy. Affirmative action is a reasonable restriction on what human resources can be used by a corporation.
That's my experience in Romania too and being a foreigner that made the stats look good, gave me an edge over my colleagues.
I don't think folks realize how cheap Eastern Europe is and how low non-tech salaries are here. I imagine $3/4k goes a long way in Belarus. For example, where I am in Russia, my entire rent + utilities are less than just my utilities were in the US. Ukraine and Belarus are even cheaper.

Also, random side note - there are many "продукты из белоруссии" (Belarussian food product stores) in Russia with even lower prices than local goods. They have a bit of a Soviet feel including grumpy women in funny hats behind the counter, but have very cheap beer and sausage (колбаса).
It's both.

It's the reason people ignore facts. And the reason people change their minds.

Just to sharpen the point, think of it this way, ideology can make you "change your mind" and start believing things that have absolutely no basis in fact.
I mean, they're not blocking VPNs, they're not blocking the transfer of encrypted files. Why on earth would it matter whether or not they did a "digital search"?

You don't need good arguments or good data to have argument based on data.

What you need is common context based on science and statistics that helps you to point out that what he presents is rubbish. Data is not ok, conclusions are wrong, not enough significance.

Mathiness and using mathematical models is good because you can say more exactly what you mean so that others understand your argument and can point out the errors.

They do have an ideology: fascism. And fascism can be (and has been) defined as a consolidation of power as a reaction to/against "the left" amidst popular enthusiasm and declining support for democratic institutions.

By only focusing on the GOP "donor class", you're missing what really connected and drives them. If it was just about donors, then Google, et.al. could have bought out the GOP and swung them to a pro immigrant, pro technology platform fairly easily. But it isn't just about money, it's about various factions of society with a common enemy on "the left" coming together and reacting against whatever it is "the left" represents in that society. This is why it doesn't matter what is said or done one minute vs. the next, or facts, or the law, or democracy, or philosophical/religious morality, etc. It is only about consolidating power at any cost, attacking/undermining anything that represents leftist or democratic institutions and ideologies, and scapegoating allies of the left such as minorities, immigrants, academia, environmentalists, and the media. In this case, "net neutrality" is considered a leftist ideology, much like climate change. Therefore it is imperative that it be destroyed, and it isn't just isps that will fight against it.

Here's an entertaining, upsetting, and fairly well researched video (part of series) that goes in depth on it:

Does the Law in NZ have any provisions against self-incrimination? The US has the 5th Amendment, some countries in the Americas signed the American Convention on Human Rights. How does NZ deal with this issue?

Can't it be considered that providing a password to a safe or personal device is akin to being a witness against oneself?
All these laws should come with a stipulation that, if nothing is actually found on a device that actually helps law enforcement protect the civilians, after say about 5 years the law is rescinded. Really, such laws should have to come up for re-approval at an interval anyway.

Anyone who has something to hide will either be smart enough to hide it or not bring the device altogether. Really all they're doing is annoying those who are not a threat.
It seems to me that everyone understands that personal experience and especially everything money related is way more interesting. Secondly, more and more people believe in transparency. Today you helped someone, tomorrow they helped you.

Lastly, I can not say that time tracking is kind of "sexy" topic. We are not changing the world, thus top news resources aren't particularly interested in this field. Investors neither see us as an opportunity for good "exit". Therefore, businesses like us do not have other choice as to move towards "work-life balance" business. Where being profitable is a must!
That's interesting. We used Horowitz and Hill as an undergrad and although I didn't continue on the EE track I was under the impression it was the "standard" textbook for introductory electronics. It may be more elementary than the ones you mention. Any thoughts on that text?

How long can the information stay in it in a stable way? Trusting your information to single atoms sounds quite volatile
I can see it working the other way. That is, parents who are not college-educated (who are immigrants, poorer etc.) are more likely to view education in practical terms. You need a certain level of affluence to view college as a more purely intellectual or artistic (or recreational?) pursuit.

If DIY chip fabrication takes off even a little, I hope they use safer chemicals than the industry did back on those nodes. Safety and simplicity should be top priorities IMHO which would also help such a thing proliferate.

I like the idea of having a local fab for my own designs. Even if they're not that complex.

In their defence, the sole fact that they actually managed to get started is already a miracle.

Whatever they present now, is not even "stage 1" of what it is to become once they will get any much substantial cash flow.

Their long term goal is to get to 180nm, or with a stretch to 130nm.

How they will get there without an actual fab, you may ask? The amazing thing is the fabs are actually there: HK has a number of abandoned fabs built up to nineties technology level. They were once built by no name electronics companies in nineties, but they all went bust during the Asian crisis. And HK never managed to emerge as a player in semiconductors.

HK government is facing a dilemma, they have to do something with them, but bulldozing a FAB, even a nineties era one, is not an option. And here the Chipforge comes.
The irony is his rant like other recent controversial cases proves the bias they are arguing against. He has 'come out' but given his deep seated beliefs what are the chances a female receives fair and equal opportunity from 'professionals' like him?

If you believe in 'meritocracy' and rational behavior you can't suddenly 'choose' to ignore the real risk to women and their careers from men who hold such views. Even with a small proportion of such men and there is no way to tell the numbers, there is a huge risk women will be discouraged right at the start and face a possibly hostile environment.

Research and life is difficult enough and women will drop off or be discouraged. And this will then further feed sexists more data points to justify their positions making a neat cycle of discrimination and 'scientific data'. The large number of men who continue to defend these regressive and unscientific positions proves beyond doubt the huge risk women in professions continue to face with them in it.
How do you do this with an Android device without spending hours restoring it?

as for file searches on the phone, its a bit more complicated...

1. run syncthing on your phone, send your data to the cloud.

2. wipe/factory reset the phone. now you're ready for that inspection.

3. restore/load once on the ground and in your hotel.
Lua really is a nice little language. I do wish it had 0-based arrays like everything else in common use though.
A good point.

When I see the word 'fact', I remind myself that even now evolution is still only considered a theory - despite the weight of evidence on its side. Because in science something might just show up that invalidates all that came before, and maintaining that faint skepticism is what separates science from belief.

(And of course evolution is a theory, not a mere hypothesis because of this weight of evidence).

If you want to show me a fact, make sure it comes with a mathematical proof attached.
Yes. Works now, even. Without context it's impossible to know what you're asking.
I’d posit that such a setup will lead to users with low speed connection or connections which aren’t online constantly to be banned or required to buy a pardon from the site when not fulfilling the seeding requirement (as every site policy I’ve seen required maintaining a ratio over time).

This happens because users with high speed connections are incentivized to seed well beyond 1:1 and thus there is rarely any demand for seeding. Downloading is super fast which just exasperates the problem as your share ratio drops below the acceptable rate quickly.

Thus such sites tend to make their money off the people who can likely afford it the least, while rewarding people with the disposable income required to live in a neighborhood with unlimited high speed internet and pay for said service.

There’s also the matter of keeping content alive to consider. I’d consider it much more valuable to keep content with no or relatively few seeders alive than incentivizing seeders to add additional bandwidth to already popular torrents. I has not seen an site policy which encourages this, rather it likely punishes such activities as it bans users who are trying to reach a required share ratio without constant demand thus taking the content offline rather than keeping it available.

Whether or not Project Atlas will enable incentives for all users and multiple scenarios or if it will simply perpetuate a similar system to what is seen in the private torrenting communities remains to be seen.

> Why does YC invest overwhelmingly in more young men than women?

Equating investment, or return on investment of capital, as a barometer of "success" or some form of empiricist metric of adaptability is a first issue.

> Is this just a big ole bastion of discrimination here?

As to the second point regarding discrimination, yes. It is a perfect case in point as to where and how discriminatory practice gains a foothold.

Great reference textbook on how electron microscopes are constructed, as well as general diffraction.

I was looking into something like this to separate business logic from architecture.

you could use this to bind react components together for example.

I am not sure if it is possible, to have a comprehensive book with this goal in mind. It very much depends on the project size, the dependencies and your language / framework -- and even if you have that in order, there are your teammates, the process, continuous integration, milestones/deadlines and the general workflow you have to take into consideration.

>> New money that is anticipated will lead to anticipated price rises. So it doesn't matter (too much) who gets first dibs.

There is a significant delay before the newly created money affects wages.
Shareholders benefit from the new money instantly (since the market reacts to it quickly and it drives up the value of their stocks) but wage earners won't benefit from the new money until they get their annual 2% salary raise at the end of the year.
That delay is significant because it allows shareholders to compound their ROIs several times before wages catch up.

> I see sudden spike in the market for burner phones. ANd a long-term opportunity for a company that can create a "burner" social media profile.

I am sure that some folks will try those things and it may work for a while, but the way things are going, it's not going to matter whether you bring your device, a burner, or nothing at all. All it will take is one more 911-like crisis and inevitable fear-mongering.

Then, your online profile is going to get mined along with everyone else's, continuously, by multiple state-level organizations who cooperate with each other-- whether you've booked travel or not.

By the time folks get to a border it will just matter of diverting anyone with a "red X" next to their name.
The point wasn't that Facebook is a necessity. It's that Facebook is unavoidable.

Unfortunately, whether you created a profile or not, you can't just "not use Facebook" with their whole shadow profiles.

Sure, they aren't (currently) pumping waste into the environment. I'm not saying those things aren't important, but I do think we're going to look back 10 years from now and wonder how we let Facebook even get this bad.
I expect a new feature of phones to include plausible deniability mode pins soon, where you type in a certain pin and it unlocks to a faux account that shows you texting your mom about broccoli recipes.
QubesOS enables some of this today, at high setup cost.

iOS12 Shortcuts may enable this in the future, if apps can be tagged by users with custom metadata, which then drives a OS-wide policy engine.

iOS "Screen Time" has arbitrary categories of apps, some of which incorrectly classify social apps (like Flipboard) as "Reading". This need to be customizable based on user priorities.
