There is the Public Domain Review[1] "dedicated to the exploration of curious and compelling works from the history of art, literature, and ideas" that have fallen into the public domain.

Think about Shakespeare's works for a good example of something in the public domain. Anyone can use Romeo & Juliet's characters any way they like. Similarly, there is a huge amount of derivative work of Price and Prejudice[2]

Just want to note that "2015 Egg Consumption and Human Cardio-Metabolic Health in People with and without Diabetes" states under "Conflicts of Interest": "N.R.F., I.D.C. and T.P.M. have received research grants for other clinical trials funded by Australian Egg Corporation Limited". And: "T.P.M. acts as an advisory member to the Egg Nutrition Council." Your last 2017 study is funded by the "Esperance Family Foundation" - need to do more digging, but I wonder if they're linked to animal agriculture/eggs.

That's nice. No pro-egg shills are ever involved, huh?

Also the processed meat/red meat/nitrate and cancer connection was brought forth by the World Health Organization. Not exactly a pop science source.

Further, Dr. Greger is a highly respected physician, author, and academic - his interpretation of the data absolutely matters.
Genuine question - what has SF poured money into? What we need here is expanded BART service and electrified Caltrain, unfortunately NIMBYs in Atherton/Palo Alto block that at every move.
That may be true, but immediately makes me think of Rich Hickey's "constants matter".
gonna take this opportunity to ask for advice: i have an MS in CS and i've gone through all of CLRS twice (yes really all of it and really twice - once for my grad algos class and once in prep for interviews - and i still don't have whatever intuition i need to be able to effortlessly do DP. it's honestly kind of maddening - mincut/maxflow, RSA, knuth-morris-pratt etc are all completely obvious to me and i can whip them out pretty much effortlessly - but DP i struggle to find the optimal substructure and formulate bottom up (yes i can memoize but that's not clever enough for you know who). what's the magic combinatorial perspective/intuition that enables people to construct dp solutions so quickly??? yes i've read vazirani and gone through the clemson examples and etc. and skiena and sedgwick whatever but the problem is they're mostly all rehashings of the same solutions/perspectives. looking forward to this book's perspective.

Exactly. Disney just needs to call in the "favors" they are owed from the Congressman they supported during the elections. Maybe sprinkle in a media campaign to fear-monger the fact that "Disney might lose Mickey" as an insurance policy.
Mozilla did divest themselves and spin it off; but the community was not a graveyard:

https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/2017/05/thunderbirds-fu...
It is still a separate project. Mozilla is just collecting donations for them:

"While Thunderbird is now an independent project separate from Mozilla, Mozilla has agreed to collect donations on our behalf"

The purchaser factors the tax credit in, so the removal of the credit will have the same effect as an increase in price.

The salesman will _definitely_ make the purchaser aware of the credit, in the same way that a mortgage broker makes you aware of the tax benefit on mortgage interest (in the US).

That doesn't make them dishonest.

Admissions committees are looking for evidence of future success. Admitting applicants with spotty (not merely "nontraditional") backgrounds is risky -- they might be a diamond in the rough, or they might really be a weak student. And (at least departments like mine) there are far too many applicants with stellar backgrounds to justify taking that risk.

At least, that's the usual argument.

They're not even really selling outside North America yet, so that's silly. Of course there's a ceiling of expensive cars, they're selling more of them than anyone else, right?

It's clear that Kurzweil is more right than wrong if you read his predictions as trends and account for some degree of variation. Since he's talking about processes I am not sure what reading his predictions with a letter-of-the-law critical mindset buys you. The vast majority of what he talks about - has been invented - and is well on the way to becoming widespread. For me, it's the point of origin ("invention") of a technology and it's near-term projection that's most salient and Kurzweil nails it down.
Did they give any justification for the change? It makes absolutely no sense to me why you'd put an income cap on that - don't you wan to encourage EVERYONE to burn less fossil fuels, REGARDLESS of income?
wouldn't it be more fair to compare a single subway car with a bus? nothing stops you from running a "train" of buses.

The MTA and Port Authority are the best funded systems _in the world_.

The problem is that they waste money profligately. What takes other cities millions of dollars and tens of weeks takes New York billions and decades.

The reason no one wishes to add billions to the MTA’s already large capital budget is that 99% of the money disappears into a black hole

DroneSeed | Seattle | Multiple Positions | Full-time | ONSITE, REMOTE

We at DroneSeed are working to address climate change by making reforestation scalable with drone swarms - surveying, planting trees, and spraying to protect them. We’re Techstars ‘16 alum, VC backed, and working with 3 of the 5 largest timber companies in the US.

We are looking for both hardware and software engineers that are deeply connected to our mission and capable of supporting our operations crews by designing, building, and maintaining state-of-the-art equipment, aircraft, and applications.

If you are someone with an engineering background and a bunch of hobby projects cluttering your home, drop us a line! We are especially interested in individuals with hands-on experience with unmanned aircraft, robotics, airspace management, remote sensing, and rapid prototyping.

But you don't necessarily need to be an expert in drones! We have are a ton of projects around asset management, project planning, distributed logs/metric collection/analysis, and human-centric design (the UX of the ground control software, for instance).

Our hiring process involves reviewing work you have done, reviewing our stuff, and pairing up on a practical task. We want creative, thoughtful, empathetic people with serious grit to join a team dedicated to inclusivity and an important mission.

You're thinking of two different code-on-shirts episodes here (Federal export controls on cryptographic software and entertainment industry litigation over DVD decryption software), although both of the shirts may have involved Perl code. "This shirt is a munition" is from the cryptography export controls issue and DeCSS is from the entertainment industry litigation issue.
As an interesting side note to this, while we might (temporarily) lose some range on cold winter days, our car batteries have remarkable little degradation compared to EVs from warmer climates. Used EVs imported from i.e. southern France to Norway usually have significantly lower remaining battery capacity than a car that has spent it's entire life in Norway.

Seems heat really kills these things :)

Freedom of expression never means that other are not free to voice their dislike of certain opinions. And while some expression is frowned upon other members of the public you are still within your legal rights to express them. The line you can not cross is incitement of violence, denial of the holocaust, breaking NDAs and so on. Contrary to what many Americans think, Germany is not a oppressive country that censors you left and right, but actually has relatively similar free speach rights to the US or other western countries.
I think his vision of smartphones has held up well. From page 74 of my hardcover copy of The Road Ahead:

What do you carry on your person now? Probably at least keys, identification, money, and a watch. Quite possibly you also carry credit cards, a checkbook, traveler's checks, an address book, an appointment book, a notepad, reading material, a camera, a pocket tape recorder, a cellular phone, a pager, concert tickets, a map, a compass, a calculator, an electronic entry card, photographs, and perhaps a loud whistle to summon help.

You'll be able to keep all these and more in another information appliance we call the wallet PC.

At $50B Market Cap, Tesla should be delivering at least $2B Annual profits.

It's clear Tesla has run through higher margin demand. There aren't many people in the world who can afford a $50,000 car. Tesla is a niche market car, but priced as a mass market (like iPhones) product.

Expect Tesla's sustainable profit to be around $500 Mil per year and it's share price must be cut in half to justify that

It's so sad to see how the NYC's subway is falling into ruin. I spent my adolescent years living in Brooklyn in the 1980's, and used the subways a lot. Pre-Giuliani, they were filthy and covered with a lot of urban camouflage, but they could be trusted to be there roughly on schedule. When they replaced them with the shiny stainless steel cars, it was even nicer. I moved away from NYC, but whenever I visit, it's sad to see the network, which worked really well in the past, be in such a sad shape. It's like the system got built, and then never maintained. What kind of idiots run such a large system in a world class city?

In the short time that I worked at a quantitative hedge fund (all of 2007, basically), the quants were the absolute nicest, friendliest people in the whole company.

If you were even slightly technical and curious, almost any of them would answer whatever questions you had and would casually shoot the shit about anything in their nerdy areas of interest.

This in contrast with the one floor trader who repeatedly and forcefully kicked me while I was under his desk replacing the Bloomberg keyboard he spilled his Sprite all over...because 3 minutes and from half the building away wasn't a fast enough response time for him.
Suspected this might be the case, thanks for your thoughts.

Tesla has made mistakes...especially Elon's timelines. Those have gotten better of late.

That aside, one has to also consider the limited number of stores that Tesla has at this point in time. As they increases the number of stores their market reach will increase. Combine this with new global markets and it is clear that they will do fine for at least the next couple years.

> Sharing data between servers & clients while being able to make sure the data wasn't changed.

I think the main use is sharing data between the server and itself. The client shouldn’t depend on the internal structure of the token. The token should just be issued by the server to the client, and the client passes it along to subsequent requests to the server.
