At least according to Sergey at the time, the key issue was "opposing censorship and speaking out for the freedom of political dissent".

> Brin: I don't think it's a question of taking on China. In fact, I am a great admirer of both China and the Chinese government for the progress they have made. It is really opposing censorship and speaking out for the freedom of political dissent, and that's the key issue from our side.

>SPIEGEL: Four years ago, you allowed your service to be censored. Why have you changed your mind now?

>Brin: The hacking attacks were the straw that broke the camel's back. There were several aspects there: the attack directly on Google, which we believe was an attempt to gain access to Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists. But there is also a broader pattern we then discovered of simply the surveillance of human rights activists.

Yes, clearly once it was pointed out it was going to just be a matter of time :) But I just think that even with the best of intentions, it'll take a long long time for every such reference to be found, reported and fixed.

I’m afraid that I have genuinely no clue what you’re getting at here. This is an opinion piece, which means that the journalistic side of Bloomberg you were criticizing had nothing to do with it.

Doesn't this already happen with wood? How fast do wood homes deteriorate? I think there are some fundamental limits to how fast biological processes can process materials which will work in our favor. We'll have to make some adjustments to how we build things (making some things more accessible so they can be easily maintained/replaced) but relative to climate change that doesn't seem like that bad of a problem.
Bitcoin could be disastrous for climate change
Most exchanges that have coins other than Bitcoin use Altcoin/Bitcoin pairs. So you're not trading in relation to the US Dollar, you're trading in relation to Bitcoin.

For a trader, that means that to them 1 ETH is currently worth 0.02678663 BTC. The USD price of Bitcoin doesn't come into play here. So, if Bitcoin goes down, the relation to ETH means that it follows, since 1 ETH is still worth 0.02678663 BTC.

Edit: Why would they do this? A number of reasons, the biggest two being habit and volume.

Most coins are traded on networks that don't have fiat currencies, so they had to choose a cryptocurrency base. Also, many traders in the realm started out with Bitcoin, and love Bitcoin, and want more Bitcoin. So they don't care if a trade gets them USD, they just want to grow their BTC holdings.

Finally, with trading, volume is very important - you want as much being offered for sale as possible. If you split up every order book (btc/eth, xrp/eth, ltc/eth, usd/eth, xrp/ltc, xrp/usd, ltc/btc, etc etc) then the volume of each 'book' is divided amongst the options, making it harder to move larger amounts from one to the other.
You need to elevate your intellect to metacognition. Learn how to learn. Learn the difference between generalisation and domain knowledge. Domain knowledge can always be looked up in reference material (though memorising as much as you can is good too because deeper domain knowledge will give you a greater perceptual experience).

I dont know if there's a canonical source on how to do this, but I have found studying mathematics and pure logic continues to give me a toolset I can use to decompose reality into atomic constituents.

Accept you wont learn it all, you are limited in time and space, and use your knowledge for good, try and do the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people you can.

People lament the light speed barrier, because it seems to preclude vast space empires of Sci-fi. But there are countless bodies at vast distances just within a few light years. If we develop fusion power, just the neighborhood of the Sun and the Centauri systems would constitute tens of thousands of colonization suitable dwarf planet sized bodies or larger. If we build artificial habitats, the population of all of those systems could easily number in the trillions. That's a pretty vast setting.

Five whys seems to indicate that the main problem is bottled water companies compete on clarity, bottled water companies could/would use recycled plastic if they had to use an opaque plastic container, like what soylent uses, rather than competing on "clear". Banning sales of bottled water in clear containers would allow all bottled water companies to still compete on packaging, while removing the limitation that they all use new, super clear plastic.
Required reading - The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair:

This is the book that led to food safety reforms after the dangers of meat packing plants were revealed to the public. With the loss of unions in the US and around the world, social darwinism is back in full force. Unions may or may not be the answer to the problems facing humanity today, but the discussion about how to form a more equitable economy is long overdue. And the irony of listing the Amazon link for this book is not lost on me!

I'm sorry! I did misinterpret you then. My disdain for extreme political positions and my annoying desire to be a contrarian must have blinded me. I don't come from the point that all regulation is bad (I swear I'm not a crazy person). I'd rather say that regulation is complicated, hard to undo and we rarely know all the effects or costs it has. More complicated systems aren't always bad though; sometimes they're much more fair and efficient.
Maybe?

Probably not, we'd probably end up making single use water bottles out of a material that miraculous.
What is the cut? You might be buying brined chicken (salt solution).

If it was previously frozen, and not thawed out this might be the problem.

Maybe you are "crowding" the pan? When you put too much protein in the pan too close together, the meat steams instead of searing. It needs space for the moisture to air out.

Or you might have lots of surface moisture. Based on your scant description, I'm guessing this might be your issue.

Regardless, try this next time:

- line a flat plate with paper towels

- take your protein out of the packaging, and pat dry on all sides with other paper towels

- place protein on the lined plate

- turn over and replace towels after 12 or so hours. to avoid this, and the lining, you can put the protein on a rack with a towel underneath so air can circulate under the meat

- put back in your fridge overnight on lowest shelf, uncovered (fridge is a very dry environment)

- next day, surface should be very dry

- take protein out 45 minutes before cooking it

- super hot pan + high smoke point oil + don't crowd it + dry protein surface == nicely seared

note: super hot + nonstick is toxic. use cast iron, or stainless that works with induction. induction should get hot enough to sear at 500-700 degrees
How would that work? A secret search engine? Or Google pretending to give in under pressure from employees, then turn around and tell them (and everyone else) "haha, we lied" and launching it? How would that not create far larger harm than just not giving in in the first place?
That's super interesting to me. Do you have any idea of what principles were applied or if they have any patents related to that technology?
You mean, it really happened because a brave Google employee leaked it. If this employee had leaked the same memo to Wikileaks, or the Washington Post, or any other mechanism of widespread dissemination would have been the same.

This is like giving credit to Glenn Greenwald instead of Edward Snowden, or Reality Winner, or Chelsea Manning. The real people who take the risks end up in the back, while the reporters end up with all the prestige on the stage.

>So poor people need not apply to the stock market?

A single stock of Amazon costs just over $1500. That is more than the monthly rent a poor person pays. If they want Amazon in their portfolio, they can pick a mutual fund that includes it, and they wouldn't have to shell out anywhere near $1500.

As an aside, I find the argument that "this will help the poor" really disingenuous when you consider that the poor are the first ones blamed when things go awry. Remember 2008, when the crisis happened because "the poor were given houses they couldn't afford?"

Companies like Robinhood are not looking after the poor.

Oh i fully agree on the crypto part. The scaling is big issue and it could get inefficient financially. I think it was the most straightforward way how to do private transactions without them being fintech company with all the requirements. It is sort of MVP. If they start to have scaling issues they will have time to tackle those.

They also don't have to make the transactions instant. They are basically donations so the transaction time does not really matter. They could spread the transactions for efficiency.

Plus crypto is evolving and they are counting on it. When their scaling issues come there might very well be some ok solution in likes of lightning network. Or doing stuff offchain.

For me Brave is actually secondary browser now because it is the "ungoogled chrome" that is easy to install and i can test webwork i do without chrome.
This seems like it should be labeled paid content? Especially after the huge issue with the X unlocking for almost anyone.

There is the chance Apple put that much money into R&D to fix it, but there is a greater chance they just paid a small percentage of what that would cost to an ad agency to fix public perception instead.
Is your pan induction compatible? If the metal has too much nickel it'll cancel out the magnetic field. Put a magnet to the bottom of your pan and if it grips strongly it should work. Also, do not use a teflon-lined pan. Pans with thick bottoms are better because they retain more heat which is then available to transfer into your meat, and with typical ranges will help avoid hot-spots.

Pre-heat your pan. As your pan heats, toss some water droplets into the pan. Once they immediately form beads and roll around the pan like crazy, your pan is hot enough. But don't let it get too much hotter; if the water droplets disappear in <3 seconds, it's too hot. Pat your slightly-chilled or room-temperature chicken dry with paper towels before putting it down; excess water will prevent the sear, pull moisture out, and boil the chicken. And don't crowd the chicken in the pan, or the close proximity of escaping water vapor will steam the chicken. You can also try adding a light coat of oil to the dry chicken.
They could launch a minority-owned social media company.
What exactly is the lesson of Itanium is debatable.

> Q: I feel like deja vu - at Hot Chips, Intel introduced VLIW-concept Itanium that pushed complexity onto the compiler. I see traces of that here. What are you doing to avoid the Itanium traps? How will you avoid IP from Intel?

> A: Itanium was in-order VLIW, hope people will build compiler to get perf. We came from opposite direction - we use dynamic scheduling. We are not VLIW, every node defines sub-graphs and dependent instructions. We designed the compiler first. We build hardware around the compiler, Intel approach the opposite.

I don't think that's the way of the future anyway, but C is not the only programming language, fortunately. Generating the ISA, and then CPU from specification, the next logical step is to generate highly optimized lower-than-C-level code from high-level specifications too.
> Improv teaches a meta language. Your intent, what you're going to do with the scenario, how you feel about each other and the world around you -- none of this has to be spoken.

Thanks for articulating that insight. I've looked into improv off-and-on for years but have not found the clinching argument on its value-add in my situation. I'm fortunate enough to not be prone to social anxiety (I'm a people-connector type and am actually drawn to strangers), and public speaking doesn't faze me, so I haven't really been able to see how improv would fit into my life. But improving non-verbal communication is a meta skill that I could get behind.

I'm still not sure how "yes and" would apply in improving daily conversation though. Do you have any positive experiences to share?

Fasting is not something most people are familiar with, so it comes off as scary and extreme to most people who are just starting out. Yours is definitely one of the most common reactions people doing it run into.

Assuming no pre-existing conditions, your body actually keeps your blood sugar in the right healthy range during fasting. We've evolved to expect to go without food for good chunks of time, which is why we even go into ketosis in the first place. It's not good or bad for you, it's just an alternate state for your body to be in that taps into the battery's reserves instead of the readily available energy coming from nutrition.
Your mention of advertising... I'd be really happy if we could start cutting down the insane effort we're putting into dyeing things and just relegate flashy marketing to the waste bin of history. The same with form advertising (clam shells and the like) where additional material is added just to make a product look more attractive.

`We went from Procedural Programming, to Object Oriented Programming, to Functional Programming`

That study seems ... wrong. Estimating actual alcohol drunk from estimates of sales? Separate model for tourist consumption? Non linear spline model for distribution of drinking at 0-12.5 a day rates? No accounting for differences between cultures which binge drink (Northern europe) and countries with steady, consistent alcohol consumption with meals (southern europe). Yeah, seems legit. Not.

And then figure 5 basically tells us the common wisdom ... a drink a day is harmless or good for you.

I think it's pretty well established that drinking a whole lot is pretty bad for your health, and not drinking so much is at least not real harmful. Anything that gives totalitarian proscriptions of booze, particularly when accompanied by figure 5; well, that reminds me of back in the day when they insisted smoking a joint would poke giant wholes in my pre-frontal cortex and make dying of a heroin overdose inevitable.
I certainly thought about lambda calculus. My current thinking is that is really a mathematical construct, not software. LISP was where it seriously got implemented, and I already have that listed.
Delay slots are generally regarded to have been a mistake since they link the ISA to the physical implementation of the processor too closely. That means you end up paying in speed and complexity for architectural choices of past processors in your future processors. RISC-V was designed to be a modern architecture informed by the mistakes of the past.

Except that I never see any posts from you decrying Apple or any other company except Google. Google isn't operating in China right now, their "behavior" is that of having worked on something that didn't ship and apparently will never ship, as opposed to other companies actively collaborating and shipping things which harm Chinese citizens.
(disclaimer: TFA is dead for me right now so I might be speaking out of context)

REST (like "object-oriented programming") is an ambiguous term that might refer to a reasonable and usable subset of behavior, or it might refer to a more extensive hypermedia-style design pattern.

REST, in the hypermedia sense, and in the sense of "the design principles behind HTTP in the first place", is a good way for a server to expose data to an intelligent human-guided client (i.e. a web browser). It doesn't do a lot for the API case, but it does a little and there's enough tooling to get you the rest of the way.

I usually don't even think of REST API's as RESTful. I think of them as RPCs that exchange JSON, except you define the RPC endpoint as an HTTP verb/URL pattern tuple, accept and treat as a contract the standards behind different verbs, use response codes for out-of-band metadata, and piggyback on all the tooling and infrastructure that people already built around serving HTTP to web browsers in the first place. If you want to strongly type your RPC, you can use OpenAPI. If you want to define your RPC ahead of time and then generate server and/or client code from a definition, you can use Swagger Codegen. There's enough adequate tooling that you don't necessarily need to resort to an actual RPC protocol, but that doesn't mean your REST API actually has to be RESTful in any meaningful way, or even that it should be.

It isn't prevented but... it's like developing in an esoteric language, if your language interpreted any inequality as a test if the left hand value is lesser than the right hand value (i.e. 2 < 3 equivalent to 2 > 3, both are true) you _can_ work within it, but why bother. Use the common language constructs and design paradigms other people do unless you enjoy making it hellishly difficult to train up new people.
