The danger of overly ambitious goals is their brittleness, and when they break, they break all the way. Much like "the best camera is the one you have", the best diet is the one you keep, and the best course is the one you'll attend. It's better to set yourself up for modest success than spectacular failure.

Community matters. Relationships with other people matter. When I thought strong work would scratch my every itch, it's because I'd yet to discover the contours of other ways of life one might have. I was fine being an antisocial workaholic at 20. As I approached 30, my face went white as some unspoken emotional thing in me began to realize what I'd missed. But you can come back from that, and it's very worth it. If you're willing to suss out the rules of engagement and play it straight, the world is happy to have you.

Western religion and American conservatism (archetypically, not the current implementations) have interesting and important insights about society and conduct, and they're things that off-the-shelf liberal culture suppresses or misunderstands, not from raw malice, but from calcified disinterest.

Revisiting the bible and last-generation conservative ideology with the idea that it might be an imperfect set of abstractions with something to teach rather than a guidebook for cruelty to be read literally led to a lot of personal growth, since the stories are archetypes about different types of conduct and their potential consequences. These stories aren't always right, and aren't always useful, but they were a second voice that, living in a coastal/liberal/progressive filter bubble, I had never heard. Seeing and understanding the "best" of what the right thinks, instead of the most "otherizing", led me to a worldview that feels more balanced, more centrist, and less polarized. It makes me assume positive intent in more people, and pick sides and fight less often.

I credit Jordan Peterson's lecture courses for packing these in a way that my progressive athiest self didn't immediately reject.

Everything @Patio11 says about salary is true. I missed out on gigantic sums of money, but later got them back on the table. The mental models in the article have, on a 5 year timeline, resulted in serious earning growth with absolutely no negative consequences.
You're not wrong, but just because we possess technical capabilities to produce a surplus of goods such that the economy can tolerate high levels of waste doesn't mean that we should. This is an area where we should be making incremental improvements, not only to increase the efficiency of how and where we distribute goods, but in the interest of things like public health.

China will steal any technology you put in their country.

Not only will they steal it, but they'll use it for whatever they want.

Right now China is talking to Google because they lack the technological prerequisites to make their goals happen by themselves. If you want to see a Chinese Google competitor, just let Google get a shoe in the door and wait a couple years. Then when China has what it wants they'll dismiss Google.

Google's short-sighted greed is going to divide the internet in two. We should be letting China either stand on it's own or join the rest of the world. Instead they will prioritize market share in a technologically inept country and, quite advertently, give the Chinese everything they're lacking to completely break away from the world wide web and start their own.

I just can't wait until Google gets kicked out of the party they created for themselves.
FIDO2 is standardized and backward compatible with U2F, so any browser (or app) with this support should work. Specifically, they should support CTAP1/2 over NFC (or USB). I asked in the team, we're not really familiar with LineageOS, but we'll try to do some tests.

This policy is new to Windows 10 and was introduced in response to the botnet problem.

The fact is that people disabled automatic updates in past versions of Windows which lead to the botnet problems because unpatched Windows machines were easy targets.

People also failed to reup their AV software so Microsoft introduced Windows Defender which is now free on Windows 10.

People also would install exes blindly so Microsoft introduced UAC.

To respond to your argument, the same "sitting duck" claim could be made in any case of wrongdoing. You can't steal something just because it is unsecured and likely to be stolen - "His bike wasn't locked, so I took it on the grounds that somebody would probably take it and that somebody might as well be me." Neither the ease of perpetrating the crime nor the number of other criminals in the world are mitigating factors when you and your specific actions are tried.
The alert didn't shut off until you pressed the button. Many devices were making noise for minutes around me.

Wouldn't it be cool if all the online ads you see featured topics you want to learn? Repetition is the mother of retention.

Might be worth even if you had to pay a fee for it and take tests to set it up. Or maybe interstitial ads could handle the testing.

Learning would be constant but not require a big time commitment. It's integrated into your leisure activities. Nor would it be easy to set aside.
Why can't I disable or opt out of this?
The issue stems from the constitution - and perhaps general understanding and present moment psyche of what an act of war constitutes or looks like - didn't have the foresight of understanding cyber/information warfare at the efficiencies and relative cost the internet provides.

It would have been great to foresee and design to counter what Facebook's structure exposed and allowed bad actors to take advantage of; it's not surprising however as Mark Zuckerberg. not understanding why the Harvard version of Facebook being developed was taking so long, thought he could do it faster: because they were actually working through privacy, security concerns, and such - whereas Mark's level of care was "break things fast" in comparison.

Enough of us have hopefully learned our lesson to swing back the yin-yang cycle and to manage and counterbalance the allowance a system like Facebook created, to prevent these overly efficient systems in spreading lies, propaganda so easily - without easing into censorship and the pitfalls inherent to silencing anyone.
Nice! Can you make the back button work, please.
I assume a withdrawal rate of 5% (slightly aggressive) and assume the endowment will be $150bn after the remainder of gates' assets are donated. I don't think thats terribly unrealistic. I certainly dont mean that they would spend $8bn nominal dollars each year; I am aware of inflation and the impact it has on returns.
Also it means less congestion on the roads, because there are fewer cars.

If most middle class families can get by with just one car, maybe that's good for everyone.

This has nothing to do with POTUS Trump, its been out for years, even under Obama. You can disable all alerts EXCEPT the Presidential alerts, due to extreme emergencies which its used for. And I don't think its ever been used.

But as alerts go, I had to shut off the Amber alerts, the local Seattle and King county was spamming my phone and even getting amber alerts for other counties hundreds of miles away. I carry 2 phones, work and private, double annoying on these alerts.

Cubesats at their typical altitudes have deorbit times ranging from 6 months to 20 years, with regulation (in the USA at least) mandating a deorbit within 25 years to receive a license. The fear of Kessler syndrome is much more relevant to launching large geostationary satellites that may break apart than for cubesats.
Only one person at my office even got the alert. I'm going to have to call this test of the system a failure.

Dammit, and I'd even queued up Orff's "O Fortuna" to go with the rising crescendo of Emergency Alert System tones.
IMO, I think MOOCs will be the future of education going forward. The simple fact that a MOOC can deliver on-demand education for basically nothing on a per-student basis is significant. You are looking at MOOCs based on what they are now, which I agree, are generally low quality, not comprehensive and lack sufficient tools for students to self-study. Overtime, these issues will be worked out. New tools will be created that will allow MOOCs to deliver higher quality of education. I could even see MOOCs being superior to classroom education because a MOOC has the added benefit of having computer based algorithms which could be designed to analyze student data and adapt the course or give precise help to the student on-demand.

I think solutions could be created to solve the "lack of motivation" issue.

I was in your position, but I bought new MacBook Pro 13". After some resistance I actually love it. I have to go back to my old laptop because some old work infrastructure is there, I really don't like it anymore. I actually like & use touch bar. This is my personal experience, I didn't think I have it.

And in comparison, I have Windows installed on it too via bootcamp. I used it for 4-8 hours a day for last months for doing work. It's just awful. Working on macOS for many years really made me forget all the little things we're getting for granted.

No, that is a perfectly valid question. The answer is: science has no idea what gravity _is_. What we do know is:

The Newton/Einstein definition is that it is an effect by mass on space/time. Mass always travels in a straight line (unless acted on), but mass causes space/time to curve. So, what we see as gravitation attraction is a fake force. No different than being "pushed" into the back of your seat when a car accelerates. You are staying still, the car is moving forwards. The Newton/Einstein definition does not specify any mechanism. The description, however, is highly specific, and so far every test for the most subtle effects have been validated. Well, except for cosmic structures.

Quantum mechanics says that particles emit/receive interactions via the graviton carrier, and that it can be quantized and transmitted via waves. In the last few years, we have detected gravitational waves. It fits perfectly and exactly as we would expect over cosmic distances. Unfortunately, the amount of energy necessary to detect an actual graviton is beyond anything we can expect to be able to produce for the forceable future and likely will never have the resources. So that is out. Also, it makes no claim on how it can affect space/time.

So, just like we original argued over whether or not it was particles or waves, I think this paradox strongly suggests that we're just not looking at gravity correctly. I suspect that the real problem is "What is time?" Why do things experience different rates of time? It seems obvious to me that gravity, time, and entanglement are related. Gravity is very likely to be Dark Matter: a stand-in name until we can grasp the fundamentals.
Anyone know anything about the underlying tech? Is it related to E911, e.g. any privacy implications?
Later on it says that it specifically helps only midsize- and larger growers, because small growers don't produce large enough quantities for it to be profitable to purchase from them:

"'We want to be able to source at least a truckload from these growers each week, so they have to be at least midsize in most cases.' Imperfect Produce is only able to make a profit by working with the larger global agribusinesses, not the picturesque small and mid-sized farms it projects in its marketing campaign."
on the iPhone there's a setting for "Emergency Alerts" at the bottom of Settings -> Notifications.

edit: apparently "Presidential" alerts will override this setting, so I guess you can't disable it after all.
The BeetBox CSA is also a "good feelings" product. In fact, their Facebook feed is much more about the good feelings than the product itself.
> My free time is consumed by exercise and just spending time with my wife.

Plenty of learning involved with that. Spending time with you wife means constantly learning about her, and about you and her in tandem. Exercising means constantly learning about your body and the exercises you do, and the combination of those parts. Of course, it is possible to spend time with someone as well as exercising without learning anything, but it seems you a voluntarily involved in both, so my guess is that you are not resisting learning but are instead voluntarily learning :)
I mean, they'll still have to license the tech from Cruise, they'll just be licensing from a company they have a minority stake in.

You can't just use tech from some other company even if you are part-owner. Heck I don't think you can even do that from a fully-owned subsidiary. They have to have structural/legal independence or it's really just a different branch of the same company.

Yeah, I agree that it's not a great metric and you can aim for a more expensive market but one thing I was pointing out is that the market for significantly more expensive food that this sort of farming would entail is really hard to break in to and also once you break in it also isn't hugely profitable (the guy compared it to the restaurant industry, which is a famously bad investment for inexperienced people). Anyway this is just one conversation I had with one guy to take it with a grain of salt.
“Food waste” means, specifically, food that went unsold because a market couldn’t be found for it. Donating something rather than throwing it out is how these venture began.

If you can find a market for it, its not waste.

You say that as if those currencies have no risk...

Provided you don't buy into the conspiracy theory that the US won't allow countries to price oil in other currencies, you have to ask why Iran doesn't do what you say. Perhaps it's because the dollar is bigger and more powerful than the political rhetoric that comes out of Washington.
Corporate politics is just as much a thing in startups as it is in large companies, and owners are just as likely to screw over their employees (or more likely, when it comes to equity).

Kind of like politics and petty concerns are a big thing in academia too.
A sizable portion of US culture idolizes self-reliance and independence. So, prioritizing gun ownership is consistent with that.
The other side of this ethos is looking down on those who must be given services rather than "earn" them. Similarly, a sizable segment of the population pays taxes or paid taxes during their working lives and is angry when people receive benefits that they had to pay for.
This anger is exacerbated by the preponderance of earnings cliffs, systemic fraud, and lack of oversight.

Agreed, the tax is not ideal. It's better than nothing..

But it would be even better if we somehow could tax households higher for their second car.

In practice it's probably an administrative nightmare with too many loopholes.
I don't really understand your reply. "A lack of a market for $3B of produce" is also equivalent to saying, "A lack of market for $3B of produce at the prices required to make production profitable." The claim about automation allowing the meeting of that need simply means that the speaker believes automation will reduce prices enough to make targeting this need profitable.
The TV (even streamed) was 5 minutes late due to the standard delay.
Right, it's not the only identifier, but it's one of them, and you will "pollute" each other's targeted ads to an extent. I'm assuming some sort of adtech stuff is happening at the carrier/provider level as well, independent of your browser or individual browsing device.
As the technology stands right now, the "fun" will be limited with the battery life.

> Spatial frequency reuse

> Coloring enables devices to differentiate transmissions in their own network from transmissions in neighboring networks.

> Adaptive Power and Sensitivity Thresholds allows dynamically adjusting transmit power and signal detection threshold to increase spatial reuse.

> Without spatial reuse capabilities devices refuse transmitting concurrently to transmissions ongoing in other, neighboring networks. With coloring, a wireless transmission is marked at its very beginning helping surrounding devices to decide if a simultaneous use of the wireless medium is permissible or not. A station is allowed to consider the wireless medium as idle and start a new transmission even if the detected signal level from a neighboring network exceeds legacy signal detection threshold, provided that the transmit power for the new transmission is appropriately decreased.
The moment I saw this pop up on my screen, all I could think of was the destruction one could cause via fake alerts. For instance, a warning of incoming nuclear warheads like what happened in Hawaii a few months ago. Sure, news stations might rapidly debunk it, but how many people wouldn't see it? Cell towers would be overloaded with calls and data, preventing the dissemination of info to many. Radio would be the best bet, but how many people would go out to their car (likely the only place they have a radio) when they think an attack may be imminent?

A centralized system like this seems like an extremely dangerous thing to have.
Yeah, this whole piece is from someone with an axe to grind. I get it, Beet Box was more community focused and basically a non-profit masquerading as a startup. It's natural they'd get stomped by a real startup, but in this case, the competition is literally taking trash and making people eat it. It's great! What could be wrong with that? We waste like 40% of all food made in this country.
Looks awesome. One thing though regarding iOS - I hope Apple don't just open up NFC more, but implement FIDO2 (CTAP2 and Webauthn) utilizing the secure enclave on the device with Face ID. I don't know enough about it, but surely it should be possible and it would make for a great user experience if they did!
I think it's easy to take that cold engineerlike approach when you won't be the one occupying this gap until it is filled
IMO, I think we need to get over this whole idea of "completion rates". Honestly, who cares how many students took the class. The only important metric is how many students obtained a comprehensive understanding of the subject after taking the course. We need side-by-side examinations to really see which is superior.
We have LimitRange and ResourceQuotas setup per namespace in kubernetes. Each team talks with us about expected needs before we permission them with the ability to login to kubernetes and create a namespace for them to begin with. If a team needs more of either, we can up them. We have grafana dashboards of the cluster utilization and will proactively order extra servers to add capacity as needed. So far, so good!

I'm not pretending I'm not conflating things in this example, but for us, it was a way to solve a lot of "legacy problems" but forcing a move to a new paradigm. So far, everyone loves it (with a few exceptions!)
I don't see any mention of smartcard/PGP features (or rsa4096), which makes this a non-starter for me. Sometimes the extra cost is associated with extra features.
> If a small number of rich people are willing to pay $100 in extra taxes to smoke a cigarette, is that really so bad?

What is the rational to "letting" the rich smoke (replace with activity "X" if desired), but not everyone else?

For the most part, that is what the policy effectively ends up doing, and so enacting it becomes to an implicit approval of that result.

It's obviously not the only way of looking at the situation, but I think it has some merit. Interesting to think about, at least.
