Just to be clear most of the directional wireless power transfer techniques rely upon a large receiving "aperture" so that the inverse square law's "spread-ened" radiation can be more fully captured. Acceptable RF exposures are far too low for this to work in smartphones and in ultrasonics it's quite dangerous even at MPE of 100dB (OSHA 145dB is for max 15 minutes a day iirc)

This is a fallacy of interpretation (translating verbal representations of events into mental representations of events), not of probabilistic reasoning.

The crux I think is that when

A. bank teller

is juxtaposed with

B. bank teller and feminist,

we vaguely and falsely interpret A as "bank teller and not feminist", while the correct explicit interpretation is "bank teller and possibly feminist, but possibly not".

It doesn't make zero sense. Here is what she sold Suster to get a $10 million check from him (pay close attention to the date on that post):

https://bothsidesofthetable.com/the-audacious-plan-to-make-e...

And here is the control he said he exerted at the time (same link):

"It’s true the some VCs have started writing so many checks that they resemble stock pickers but the majority of us still have less than 10 board seats at any time and tend to go pretty deep so the result is that we care deeply about where we commit our time."

In my personal estimation, Perry saw the limitations of the technology years ago, but was not in any position to pivot her company single-handedly.

You can disagree with me if you want. But have you built a prototype that demonstrated functionality that got a VC to write you a check for $10 million?

You can go grovel to your board about a pivot they didn't sign up for. Or you can be Steve Jobs and lead, letting others follow or be left behind. The time to do that was three-four years ago (when Perry would have clearly seen the limitations of the technology at scale, and still had loads of money in the bank.)

I understand you disagree with this sentiment.
As mujoco noticed in another thread, the 512 number is misleading. From the article:

> This particular shark, one of 28 Greenland sharks to be analysed by the scientists, was measured at 18 feet in length and weighed over a tonne, meaning it could be anywhere between 272 and 512 years old.
I specifically said that these cases were not comparable because they are covered by different civil rights laws.

My objection is to your use of "I don't think income is a protected class, therefore the government shouldn't care". "Protected class" has a wider meaning in civil rights law.

I pointed to other cases where seemingly generic prohibitions, which are not themselves protected classes, have a sufficiently high correlation with a prohibited class that the courts have ruled that the generic prohibition (no shaving, height requirement, clothing styles, and more) is a violation of civil rights law.

Some of these are almost certainly portable to enrollment policies. A college which receives federal funding won't be able to use a genetic test to prohibit those carrying the sickle cell anemia mutation, because of its strong correlation with race.

So while I think there are certainly valid objections to jakelazaroff's original statement "Preference for children of donors and legacies are such blatantly racist admission policies", and I agree that income is not and should not be a protected class, and I agree that there can be bona fide business reasons to have a preference for wealthy people, the case law is pretty solid that discrimination on X where X is not a protected class can still result in the government caring.

You are completely wrong, the democrats didn't have an overwhelming majority in the senate. They had the minimum they needed to pass obamacare, 66. Remember that they wanted to have a single payer option and the damn democratic senator from nebraska didn't want that, and he thought if "he single-handedly stopped single payer" he'd be re-elected. So that one senator stopped single payer from being in the bill - he did vote for it after that. And that guy wasn't re-elected. Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska. Anywhoo, you are completely and utterly incorrect about the dems have an overwhelming majority to do whatever they wanted. In the senate they had the bare minimum, and anyone who felt they wanted a change could get it.

How exactly does a shareholder notice the 'book value' of a company? Sure, they have a 'claim' on a share of that, but that only really matters if the company defaults, in which case it would surprise me if the actual book value is payed back to shareholders.

I've found that the west has a democracy bias. It assumes that democracy is intrinsic to people and it's only a matter of "liberating" them from tyranny.

But as history is proof, there is nothing intrinsic about democracy. Democratic revolutions were hardly organic in much of the world. Most countries have known nothing but monarchy and/or dictatorships. To impose democracy on them would perhaps be as cruel as letting them be ruled by dictators.

I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I'd say that people should be allowed to manage their own affairs. If a country is better off with a dictator, then so be it.

It's mentioned in the article, but AIG's fall in October 2008 was as dangerous and big as Lehman's, and afaik none of the conditions mentioned in your comment were in place.

Like the OP says, there have been regulations put in place to try to avoid a similar thing happening in the banking sector but the same thing hasn't happened with the big insurance companies in a consistent manner. Again, afaik the US putting some big insurance companies on this "too big to fail" list was the only such measure taken to avoid a new AIG, but with them now being off the list I see no such strong checks in place. And this should be done at the federal level, you can't expect state legislations (even if applied in the majority of the states) to put a check on an entity that has ~USD 1.4 trillion under quite active management.

Yes, it’s building permits. It’s not that they’re too complex, it’s that they vary not just by state but municipally within states. The modern incarnation of a low end manufactured home is a mobile home. They’re regulated like motor vehicles on a federal level. That’s why mobile home parks are zoned out of existence, to keep the poor out, same as maximum number of unrelated occupants or minimum lot sizes with maximum square footage making building anything but a luxurious single family home illegal.

We need to rebuild the Inheritance Tax. Hit the wealth at the moment of inheritance, when it acts as income for the next generation.

Lazy loading implies the opposite? Regardless, it being broken up is very useful for everything around the site usage. IE google-linking, sharing urls, bookmarking, etc.

Infinite scroll is an optimization for first-time usage of a site, or for pages that are naturally read-once (ie twitter feed). They break everything surrounding n-use of the page.

Back in the old days my dad built his Lada himself.

We could not really afford a new one, so he bought and collected parts including the chassis. Then, I think it took half an year or so between his job to assemble it together. With lots of help of course, from my uncle and several books describing the technical details. As a kid, I had minor contributions as well and learned a thing or two about cars in the process.

How reliable was the car? Pretty reliable. He drove it for half a decade, at least. At its end, we used the car mainly for pulling a trailer with construction work materials for several years then sold it for scrap.

Yeah, you could build a Lada yourself, if you really wanted to.

Never comes up. Couple reasons:

1. My tenure lengths used to be longer (3.X years), and then became shorter recently, so this signal is not that strong. It looks like: uni - 3.X - 1.X - 3.X (my startup) - 3.X - 1.X (FAANG) - 1.X (current). There are 2 positions that I leave off my CV: during my startup I did some parallel work in Academia, and there was a failed aqui-hire at the end of my startup, where technically I was an employee at a big NASDAQ company for 3 months, but then the deal exploded. Both are 6-10 years in the past and were during my rollercoaster startup years, so I just compress it into the startup entry, it's not worth detailing (not to mention NDAs). In my experience, both as a hiring manager and when interviewing, things more than 5 years in the past don't matter anyway.

2. My shorter gigs were in different countries, and people understand you're only going to stay in a foreign place if everything is really awesome (city AND company is a good fit).

3. I have FAANG on there, which esp. outside the US moves you past issues like this.

I think it's worth pointing out, I'm not saying you should job-hop for the money. That's why I put money as #4. I'm just saying you should maximize your learning (good for you) your mental well-being (good for you and your team, nobody likes to work with burnt out ppl) and your impact (good for the company). If you can find a place where this is possible for 5-10 years, jackpot, don't leave!
implying at the least that some criticism is sexist.

And some has been, as the article pretty much demonstrates. That doesn't mean that any criticism of her as a fraud is sexist, as you implied people were saying in those articles.

The next article:

That's paraphrasing Holmes herself! Reporting on what she says does not mean the journalist agrees.

The next article:

He's a family friend of hers and an investor in the company; he has both a personal and a financial stake in it. That's not an example of "wokeness" from SV, but of someone trying to protect their investment.

Every linked article says or implies that Holmes wouldn't have been criticised as harshly if she were a man. Which is pure whataboutism

It's only whataboutism if used as a tactic to discredit all criticism, but from those articles, only Holmes herself and the investor/family friend seem to do that.

It's not whataboutism if pondered as issue in itself; Holmes is a fraud and deserving of criticism, and yet she can also be victim of sexism, and that can be worth talking about too.

I think there is this idea that you could graft the Perl 6 object model onto Perl 5 but keep the things people like about 5 (that it's implemented in C and installs more like a normal Unix/Linux tool that we are all familiar with). This would open the door for CPAN modules that exploit the cleaner and more modern object model like we have with Python and Ruby. Which would in turn allow Perl to be more in line with what people expect from a modern tool, combining the best of the old and best of the new.

I think if you start with the state of CPAN and work the problem in reverse you might see what people are wanting.

Any mortality fluctuation big enough to mean Prudential is paying off on an extra 1.1% of its policies is going to hit just about every other big ordinary life and group life direct writer or reinsurer in the US similarly, and maybe even the large foreign reinsurers. The argument that the mortality fluctuation risk is a reason for breaking up Prudential depends on the either the premise that its insureds, in aggregate, may be significantly different from those of the other insurance companies, or on the fear that life insurance, a business around 200 years old, is a bad idea because most of the companies could be simultaneously impaired by a not implausible mortality fluctuation.

Furthermore, the amount of assets under management by Prudential, mentioned in the article as a reason to fear trouble at the company, is irrelevant to the mortality fluctuation argument, as those assets are largely in separate accounts walled-off from the life insurance business.
