> Living in cooperative groups is in our genes.

It amazes me that people fail to recognize this, and saddens me that people fail to appreciate how fascinating it is.

While humans are the most intelligent creatures on the planet by far, our intelligence still sits on a continuous spectrum, and the basic evolutionary processes that drove our intelligence are both straight-forward and evident elsewhere in the animal kingdom, notwithstanding the complexity of the details.

But our cooperative nature completely defies genetic evolutionary theory. We're utterly unique in the kingdom of life. All other examples of cooperative behavior are clearly understood and can even be predicted by standard theory. But somewhere along the way humans jumped an evolutionary chasm. As predictably violent and selfish as humans can be, that doesn't diminish in the least our strange underlying nature. It may turn out to be simple and obvious in retrospect (in fact, I'd be surprised if it wasn't), but in the meantime it baffles me that this mystery isn't appreciated more. Answering it could expose and unlock a tremendous number of doors in anthropology, biology, computer science, economics, mathematics, physics, psychology, and other domains.

Hobbes fundamental error was thinking that humans are just animals. Which is a completely understandable mistake as the scientific age is premised on the notion that the world functions according to basic, shared laws. But as animalistic as we are, our species is peculiarly alien on Earth. According to all we know about the mechanics of life, we shouldn't exist. The fact that we not only exist, but continue to exist in defiance of the fundamental laws of evolutionary biology as we understand them, should be mind blowing.
The point isn’t non-existence -it’s rarity. You cannot ‘just’ do something as a general solution when it only applies to one in a hundred.
SpaceX has like 7000 employees, about twice as many as ULA (their domestic competitor). There are reasons why (Dragon, BFR, Starlink, in-house engines, higher flightrate, more in-house everything), but that's a lot of people.

What I hope is we'll see new startups form out of these folk. What I'd like to see is an ESOP/co-op newspace company bent on similar goals. A lot of these employees have vested stock (or likely will vest soon) that might help capitalize such an effort.
>Speaking as someone who lives off grid: solar technology today is more than good enough to solve this problem

Their opening sentence tells a different story to be honest. Anybody who goes out and does this for themselves is only going to be doing good, but the argument is fallacious at best, and dangerous at worst. People hear this often enough, and it will end up changing their behaviour. They’ll end up voting for politicians who want to subsidize personal solar installations (which has to be the least efficient form of public investment in renewables), and taking stands against things like nuclear (or even wind) for environmental reasons.

The opportunity cost is very real, and it’s entirelt reasonable to see how an argument like this can end up doing more harm than good.
Apparently those (jazz) guys called the 4ths voicings like in So What 'Ravel chords'. And the (Peace Piece-derived) Flamenco Sketches I can't help but think owes something to the first movement of Mahler's 9th, which even has the 'down a major 3rd' progression. (C -> Ab in F.S., D -> Bb in the Mahler)

..Speaking of which, I didn't learn until recently that James Brown stole the 'booo-dap' riff from So What for (maybe his greatest song), Cold Sweat. Apparently he wanted a song with horns going 'booo-dap' just like So What..it's even in the same key, almost the same voicing.
I agree with you. Uncertainty and fear brings a horrible toll on the employees.

I was a teenager in the 90s and my mother worked for IBM. My parents were divorced and I lived with mom. She came home every day exhausted and scared, not knowing when the axe would drop. It went on for years. No one knew the logic of which departments were next; solid performance reviews didn't protect you, seniority, skillet, being management: nothing made you safe. Everyone we knew went to work not knowing if they would make it to lunch.

It was horrible. I'm sure everyone would have much rather the SpaceX method than months or years of agonizing waiting.
> To subject ALL your employees to the 50/50 prospect that they will have a job come next working day is tantamount to playing Russian Roulet

How is it 50/50? It is 10%.
For the MTM scenario, how would you convince letsencrypt’s CA to issue you a cert for any domain? Don’t you need to complete the challenge in order for the CA to issue you a cert?

Falcon heavy is anything but operational. It has yet to prove itself and launch real payloads.
I share your feelings about not wanting to commit to Google products, but some (like Gmail) are here to stay. I'd work more about getting support for Gmail than Google closing it.
I don’t understand your anger. The conclusion is that it was previously empirically believed to be the case but logically unproven that these polynomial representations of integers were unlikely to be factorable. If I understand this article correctly, it is now logically proven, shutting the door on that particular attack.
Easy: this is a fake construction. How are we truly to believe this is real?

I’d recommend not arguing after a certain point.
And yet, they're all that way! Hardware RTCs are horrible.

(Well, almost all of them are that way. There are a few, precious few, sane parts that are just a 32-bit counter counting up at one second per second. These, of course, are rare, obscenely expensive, large, and missing useful features like trimming. Sigh.)
Yeah, business strategy MBA kinda stuff. Although honestly not sure how useful it really is. I guess it helps you have a broad checklist of things you should look at.
I'm sure farmers won't have any trouble growing it, but I did read not long ago about a farmer in Kansas who's family has farmed there for practically ever looking into it.

He was wanting to know about strains and what bugs eat it and fertilizers to use and was especially worried about growing plants that had levels of THC that were too high, even by just a tiny amount. He didn't want get busted for that.

It's been a few generations gone by since it was legal to grow hemp as a crop. They'll have to relearn it and that will take some time.
> they can't justify keeping those people around

I would have put them on other Musk projects to keep them from going to the competition. SpaceX doesn't have a monopoly on low cost launch. The next place to figure out how to 3d print a tungsten titanium copper nickel chromium iron one piece rocket nozzle will also have that advantage.
I've been laid off twice, once in a one-on-one meeting with a manager, and once via an email. The email was much preferable. (Both were in short-term positions, so not really a fair comparison)
This essay is in radical need of a TL;DR. If something is this important, you owe it to the subject matter not to bury the lede under a mountain of history and flowery exposition.

Ask yourself: who is this for? People who are not already deeply passionate will stop reading unless they are engaged in a minute of reading. Note that a minute is being extremely generous; on a commercial consumer site, it's apparently an average of 7 seconds before someone will click away.

I even jumped you to the good part.
In my experience, the worst aspect of current boards are the lifetime of threads. If you post a comment to a thread, and come back to the page couple hours later, the thread is no longer available anywhere; now you have to create the additional loop of going through your user account, locate each comment, and check whether anyone replied to it. I'd rather save myself the hassle and just shut up for the most part. And even if I do bother to find particular comment, seek out replies, and respond to them, they will go unnoticed if it's not done immediately, because it also requires the other users to go through these additional steps too. It's just impossible to write comments that have more than a couple of hours gap between responses.
Ubiquiti makes decent hardware, and now has an upgrade to go from their flavor of linux to debian stretch.

I wonder if Ubiquiti would consider selling a "developer" module of the Edgeroute-X or similar with more ram.

Or maybe look for a raspberry pi clone with dual ethernet (not connected by USB). Add a 128GB microsd for $20-$25 to have some room for video, photos, email, chat logs, etc.
Exercise, also known as moving your body beyond walking, is the most basic instinct every animal has, yet humans have deprived themselves of this basic principle.

I had an engineer from Boeing reach out to me once for help with the store and forwarding of Ethernet frames from the science experiment outputs. At the time he had a laptop running Qnx that would capture the frames, then when the ISS was over Houston it would replay them for the down link. I wonder if they have a better system in place now.

I’ve tried it and overall found the service spotty in Denver, and typically a notch lower (technical term) on whatever speed compared to Verizon etc, when traveling internationally. I will admit that initial tech support experiences were unsustainably amazing.
Little unfair. She married a lawyer/community organizer who ran for congressman (lost) then Senate then President over 20 years.

She was almost as much part of the Obama presidential image as her husband.

Fair enough, but my main problem with it was that it existed, and then they removed it, which was very sad.
Yes, but after the initial syn/ack, the daemon will allocate an outgoing port number for the connection. So if you have a single IP address and a burst with hundred of thousands of requests, you will run into problems..

Having been to Germany a few times, I've not noticed anything like only government buildings being in good repair. Can you identify a few cities that are like this?
I definitely scrolled around, looking for some kind of summary. I wantee to figure out if I was gonna be wasting my time reading another recap of what I lived through or if there was gonna be a proposal for some way to get back to decentralization that I could evaluate and keep in mind when designing my own apps. Couldn't figure it out from scrolling so I bailed.
I have been fond of Poetry Foundation for past 8 years, and here I see wonderful lines by EMMA LAZARUS. Claps for "I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Wow - that is interesting to hear. Let me toss in a caveat by saying that I had 2 different multi-monitor setups that I transferred between while running straight off the machine quite often as well. Typically problems would crop up after shifting to or from the non-mac monitor setup. Never tested the cam on the linux side.
Almost certainly the way it was recorded.
Did I mention that I was running mint as well? With 2012 macbook pro hardware.
Nope. They're still used at the very least in the US and Germany.

There are different versions of it - most common are probably a metal nail (if you have stone or something else to anchor it in), a metal pipe (if dirt is all you've got) or a massive, pain-in-the ass to lug around stone. (My dad's a surveyor, and in my youth I was cheap labor. I still hate boundary marker stones :)

It's AIUI not _necessary_ to have them, but if you have a property dispute, they come in handy.

Cool idea! The string matching seems a bit brittle on the names I tried -- "Beatles" turns up no results, but "The Beatles" works. Same goes for "Rolling Stones"/"The Rolling Stones".

I'm not that deep involved in LoRa but isn't there a problem with it that by spamming the network you can take down the whole one with a $3 device?
From a game design perspective this is a good game.
Cool project!

How was your experience ejecting Expo? Are hot updates fully disabled once you eject? (i.e. each update is submitted via AppStore.)
Yes we hire remote, in fact dev is distributed but primarily in the US.
If you look young, how can you even buy alcohol or cigarettes (in my countries case even energy drinks) or get in a club? In my country each citizen must have an identity document - either a passport or ID card (drivers license doesn't count). I can't see it any other way as you need to ID yourself in stores (in the mentioned case if you look young and want to buy alcohol/cigarettes/energy drink), post office when receiving package, getting drivers licence, opening bank account, getting loans etc.
Turn this into a SaaS.
It’s more than good enough to solve the problem, as long as you redefine the problem sufficiently?
The walled gardens exist because the open Internet kind of sucks, really.

E-mail is pretty much the last bastion of the old open Internet, and the amount of resources needed to just deal with malicious e-mails is huge. Mindbogglingly huge. And those costs cut out a lot of organizations from being able to operate their own e-mail servers (either the costs of doing it or the costs of verifying to the big players that the e-mail you're sending isn't garbage).

And that's pretty much the story across the board. The old Internet was overwhelmed by bad actors who would ruin everything. Facebook and Twitter house a lot of awful stuff. But can you imagine how bad it would be if we were all still using USENET and IRC?
That's your opinion. There are people who're willing to earn less salary and more variable pay, and those people would be fine with early-stage startups and with my proposal.
The thing is that History doesn't like to drop green fruits, even beating the tree and strong wind, They only fall when they are mature and ripe to fall. You can add minerals and water in the soil around the tree, you can cut some leaves to let the sun directly hits the fruit, but no matter what stick you beat the tree or the wind is Hurricane, History doesn't like to drop fruits that are not mature and ripe.

That is not so easy to say, the division of taxes/cost vary by jurisdiction. Where I live, gas taxes go to provincial government which maintains only highways. Municipalities have to build/maintain urban roads, and their only funding source is property taxes (which are paid by everyone, regardless of car ownership (or scooter club membership))
It's a flawed rule in built up areas, and in situations like minor roads without pavement near a village, where you'd expect to see pedestrians, dog walkers, hikers etc. Many of those spots would benefit from a camera on nearing village outskirts and 30mph limit. Yet they normally don't have one.

On dual carriageways, which is about the only location I ever feel annoyed by speed cameras, it's a fairly reasonable basis for setting limits. That's the situation you find reductions of limit, with associated speed camera, that are simply unexplainable from road conditions, and lack of sources of danger, risks such as built up areas etc.
No. You just map .com to another key with an agreement that new .com owner pre signs and map existing .com subs the right way. An unaware xxx.com does not need to do anything. As long as its done publically with a bang and enough consensus, disruption should be minimal.

Again this is unavoidable in any system that need trust. Thats why I like PoW DNS.
Really though solar is not being used anywhere near its potential. And I don’t think there is any serious-omg-danger being posed by someone pointing that out on an internet discussion board. It seems to me they were just opining that a great solution already exists. For there to be an actual opportunity cost, the entire world would have to take that one comment as gospel. There’s really no danger of that. The marketplace will ensure that plenty of solutions compete, including some bogus ones with real problems alongside the good ones.
Pretty impressive. You guys are like Zendesk for shipping.
I can say I don't find the example all that nice. That said, every language has its style guide — and its people who come up with a nicer style than the original team envisioned.

I don't know if this language could have a nicer style just because of the punctuation — it's everywhere! But still, it may be possible.
That doesn't change that it's a solid 19 years away.
iPad always worked for me. I usually read books and read other software developers' code while using "moving machines". It should suffice for you too. Happy commuting!
It seems that the number if states reporting their data changed during those years, only ten until 1905, and I'd bet that's the cause.

Hemp is a route to CBD oils, which are hot right now
And none of those services are going anywhere. If you're given the responsibility to make those types of decisions, I have my doubts that you based it on whether an audio dongle or RSS feed reader were dumped.
> Seems implausible, no?

Not really. All it would take would be liability for privacy violations.
> He's claims to not be alt right despite having identical views on most topics

He does cite specific differences from the Alt-Right, e.g., he views as excessively collectivist; he hates most of the things they hate, which makes the difference largely academic to a lot of people outside of the broader far right.
In (less civilized) countries with mountainous roads, I'd take extra power for overtaking since you often move in to the oncoming lane to do so. With a smaller engine you could be stuck behind a truck for 15 minutes.

Obviously depends on road conditions, but stronger engine means you need a smaller window to make it.
What would you do when you got there? Thought it was sort of inhabitable for humans with such temperature swings.
Do normal people know that Google even has any products besides Google search and Gmail?
Hemp is big ag, cannabis is smaller scale horticulture. You treat your trees way different
>Homeless use sidewalks as encampments

Yep, near downtown Denver there are signs about how after a certain date, any private property shall be removed from public walkways. This was targeting homeless camps. It should extend to scooters left littering the sidewalk too.

>Food trucks use public roads and sidewalks as their dining rooms.

Food trucks park in legal parking spaces or designated food truck areas - this is strictly controlled in most areas. Individuals use sidewalks as a dining room, since it’s legal to stand on a sidewalk and eat.

>How about in places like New York were the damned bike share racks take up half the sidewalk

How about it. Exact same problem? Can we do something about this too?

> How about graffiti "street artists" that paint their nonsense on privately owned buildings? They're displaying their "inventory" on property they don't own.

That’s not blocking a sidewalk or otherwise impairing use of a public asset. People can paint their private building however they please.

> Many of the people hating the scooters because they're "storing their inventory on public property," don't seem to have any problem Torrenting movies they didn't pay for or stealing other content they don't own.

That’s a stretch. I don’t see how use of a network or minor copyright infringement is related to leaving scooters on the sidewalk. Again, it doesn’t deprive others of the use of any public resource.

>People seem to hate on scooters because it's "private" and people might be profiting somehow.

No. Actually, people are complaining that these scooters are left everywhere, in the way littering the streets and sidewalks.
Fact MR Publishes Comprehensive Excavator Study
Yes. Will be keeping an eye for the polar ice war over Antarctica
If you don't like the car analogy, how about bikes? After all, kick scooters are parked in the exact same section of the sidewalk that bikes are (the "furniture zone"), and are frequently even locked to bike racks.
Gmail, Docs, Drive seem pretty safe bets. Would not put my money on anything else though.
The repo is basically Quake II's software-renderer and game-logic module merged into the engine binary. Yamagi Quake II ships with an additional OpenGL 1.3 and 3.X renderer which I'm sure could be ported over if SW was undesired.

While it's something cool to work with Quake II, its net-protocol has its downsides and I'd encourage anyone replace it with QuakeWorlds' networking as you'll run at a locked 10 Hz with the clients interpolating between the frames otherwise. This was done for easier handling of animations in single-player entities, but was regretted later (according to JohnC's own .plan files).

Quake 1 is nicer to work with in that regard. Also get used to wobbly model animations with the MD2 model-format as the precision of the vertex-animated models is very poor :)

It's also interesting to note that Carmack considered using a 16-bit MMX-powered SW renderer for QuakeWorld/Quake II (making it real cutting edge in 1997), but considering the global 8-bit palette was already in place, it would have resulted in a loss of precision of already paletted textures so it was decided against and they did it the old way.
Judging by the comments here, if anyone uses a service they expect a company to provide support for it indefinitely. And apparently that also applies to hardware.
And it is just a question of time until photos get discontinued as well...
Unfortunately, just staying out of the US doesn't protect you from them. You're just lucky that Saudi Arabia etc don't have the reach.
