"I vaguely recall that the Pan-Homo split occurred before Pan split to chimpanzees and bonobos."

Of course, long before. Bonobos are often considered chimpanzees, just not "common chimpanzees." (From Wikipedia: "Taxonomically, these two ape species are collectively termed panins; however, both species are more commonly referred to collectively using the generalized term chimpanzees, or chimps.")

They are very close relatives, both members of the genus Pan. They can interbreed, but don't tend to in the wild because the croc-infested Congo River separates them.

If you only vaguely remember that important detail, you probably don't have enough knowledge to say it is "just bullshit" that we came from chimpanzees. None of us do, actually. Many think the most recent common ancestor of chimps and humans was probably similar enough to a modern chimp to be classified as a chimp. Richard Wrangham was actually a big proponent of this view, see his mention here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chimpanzee%E2%80%93human_last_...

"Richard Wrangham (2001) argued that the CHLCA species was very similar to the common chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes) — so much so that it should be classified as a member of the genus Pan and be given the taxonomic name Pan prior."

You can disagree with him, but given that we don't have a fossil of the most recent common ancestor, it's mostly speculation. (and in many ways it is not a scientific question, but a semantic one)

Also, if you think a common ancestor of two species is always going to be equally similar to each of the two species, think of the polar bear and brown bear. The brown bear still occupies a similar ecological niche as to the common ancestor, while the polar bear occupies a very different one. In fact, the common ancestor WAS a brown bear.
Having wasted a significant portion of my youth pursuing whatever I wanted only to later realize I was enslaved to the very things I thought I was pursuing freely, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Bible as that which gave me true freedom.

Many of it's teachings are certainly counter-cultural. And it does take time and effort to learn and interpret wisely. But I find much in the Bible that is very applicable to life today and, arguably more important, applicable to the life to come.

As for the imaginary part, there are plenty of rational reasons to consider the claims of the Bible. This isn't a bad start:

A lot of it boils down to your own personal presuppositions and worldview. For more advanced treatment that gets to the heart of how we know what we know and how our presuppositions affect what we think we know:

fold one up and keep it in your wallet when you go out and you always have one ready for impromptu shopping trips.

I stopped using shopping bags as garbage bags long ago 'cause too many of them were leaky, and more than once I left a dripping trail on my way to the garbage chute.

I just keep a folding reusable shopping bag in my laptop bag (that I always have with me when I'm commuting), so when I stop at the store on my way home it's always ready. If I don't have it handy, then I just pay the 25 cent fee for a paper bag.
Teslas don't change lanes without confirmation provided they know where the lane is. The problem is that it seems pretty easy to fool a Tesla into thinking the lane is somewhere it isn't.

Unfortunately abusive parties will be the ones most interested in collecting your data in the first place.
This is tricky though. You don't want to make these heuristics public, or spammers will just access them to switch domains, and if you say "you can't see our reputation list unless you're Gmail, Yahoo, or outlook", that can start to look a lot like collusion.
Maybe within one very narrowly defined field. However move outside of your typical web services and tutorials take a sharp nosedive.

Really the kind of stuff that is well documented in PHP is the kind of stuff that is well documented in most general purpose languages. They are also the kind of problems that aren’t particularly hard to solve anyway.

But this is a moot point because the reason documentation was discussed was because it was credited as being one of the reasons for PHPs popularity. However tutorials wouldn’t exist if a language wasn’t already popular so your comment doesn’t reinforce the point made by the GP.
Giving up 80% for "an idea" is fine.

Giving up 80% for the first customer? That's a big ask.

Someone noteworthy said that 50% of building a business is going from 0 to 1 customer. The other half is going from 1 to many customers.

That being said, this person is assuming a lot of risk that the partner is flaky and doesn't follow through, that financing won't be available, etc etc.

In reality, I suspect they're probably building out a 4-6 week MVP, getting a couple of customers, then selling the business as a "turnkey startup" for ~$50k (of which they get 80%/$40k). Not a bad proposition.
Because `const` is a js level keyword that has different semantics: it applies only to the reference binding being immutable, not the value as being so. `const a = "hello"` does have the shape `"hello"` as you’d expect, since strings are immutable in js and the `const` keyword makes the binding immutable as well. But objects are mutable, so TS can’t be a superset of javascript and change the semantics of that behavior. Hence `as const`.

This is different to the widening of value types within objects, which is a tradeoff made towards unsoundness with the belief that it would otherwise make interoperability with existing js too difficult, for which `as const` now serves as a way to explicitly opt into sounder behavior.

That article says:

"The upshot is that Autopilot might, in fact, be saving a ton of lives. Or maybe not. We just don’t know."

...which doesn't support the claim that banning Tesla's autopilot would be a net positive.

Maybe the effect is zero-sum, which means that preventing the deaths where Autopilot did wrong by banning Autopilot, means that other people would die, because Autopilot saved them from a situation they would have crashed in.

If Tesla's Autopilot is demonstrably net negative, then yes, it should be banned, and banning it would save lives.

But if it's currently zero-sum, we should absolutely allow it, we should absolutely allow it to be improved, because improvements to the system will probably tip it over into net positive.

It is absolutely concerning that the company is trying to spin the tech as already being net positive, without any clear evidence of that, yes, I agree. If the tech were net negative, and they were trying to cover that up, that would be even worse. But that's not the position we're in.

I almost never use garbage bags. The trick is separating out food scraps / recycling / non-recyclable garbage. Most of the actual 'garbage' is...plastic bags from packaged food items and dental floss.

Disclaimer: I live in a city where composting / recycling / trash is done in separate containers. Even if one doesn't life in such an area it shouldn't stop one from pre-separating anyway even if it gets merged.
I don't disagree, and I never meant to imply that was the case.
How so? I read your link and can't help to see it is about tenants rights, not visitors of tenants.

It seems this would only stop non-tenets from having access to the facilities. At least without being accompanied by actual tenants.
> I'm sure Tesla would far rather burn the people who paid extra for some technology that wasn't ready yet than release something that is sub-par at a minimum and dangerous at worst.

Uhh... I love Tesla but current Autopilot, that they have released, is definitely not what I'd call "public-ready".[1] And they agree, which is why it's locked behind clickwrap disclaimers and warnings and described as a "beta".

Don't get me wrong, I want one. But I wouldn't want my mum to use Autopilot.

[1] It can't see stopped cars on the highway (!) and gets confused by freeway exits, sometimes driving directly at the gore point. Worse, this second issue was fixed and is now happening again, indicating a critical lack of regression testing. (!!)

> My take on this is that if you express the interest in having a child or a pet, you can afford the burden of buying biodegradable bags to handle waste.

If the law said that stores were allowed to give out biodegradable plastic bags (maybe at some small surcharge?) I'd be fine with that. Doubly so if the law actually suggested or incentivized switching to these types of bags. As far as I'm aware this isn't what's happening.

The numbers in that article were pretty striking to me, btw:

> A shopper would need to reuse a cotton carryout bag 131 times to reduce its global warming potential [...] below that of plastic carryout bags.

> To have less impact on the climate than plastic carryout bags also reused as trash bags, consumers would need to use the cotton bag 327 times.

Anyone else remember back in two-thousand and something or other (back when CRTs were still supreme), that it was all the rage to have a Matrix-style code-rain[0] screen-saver or is that just a "me" thing?

Probably not. If the transfer price is zero, then that now becomes my tax basis in the property. So assuming again that I put in $100k originally, and now take out one house worth $150k, then sell it, I’m going to pay capital gains on the full $150k, not just my $50k gain.

What probably happens is that I sell you my share in the holding entity for $150k, and the entity sells me the house for $150k.

There are cases where you could simply dissolve the entity and distribute the assets, which would avoid the sale and resulting taxes, in which case you’re just re-titling it and not selling it.

Tl;dr: this gets complicated really quickly.
The problem is, that a theory school is a network of careers, based upon something that a new school could either render completely obsolete or draw funds away from.
So those established are often literally fighting for there lifelihood.
These attacks are a propertie of people who have alot to loose, which is ironic because most of those established head figures have tenure. Yet, there court and power could vannish.

Maybe some power-politics intrigue mechanism could change that. If you can convert alot of current low establishment (post-docs) to sign secretly for your theory, you could overturn the whole powerstructure in a coup, unless the ruling person defuses the situation by claiming the results to be true first.
Actually, the more natural construction in English would be "me and my siblings". The only reason people know about "X and I" is due to prescriptivism. Noam Chomsky for example sometimes uses this example: https://chomsky.info/1991____/ (search "him and me").

In general in English, you have a one-to-one correspondence between a finite verb and a subject noun phrase. When the noun phrase is just a single pronoun, you have formal agreement between the verb and that pronoun ("(I) am here", but not "(Everyone who knows I) am here"). Subject pronouns are not used in other cases.

Regardless of some technical explanation of why the "and I" construction is unnatural, some pretty good evidence would include the fact that people have to keep teaching it to successive generations, and the fact that "I and he" sounds undesirable even to people who have learnt the rule, whereas "him and me" and "me and him" both sound natural to someone who has learnt English naturally.

Perhaps we should also be telling people that prepositions are not things you can end sentences with.
Gmail has become ridiculously aggressive at spam filtering, and not in a helpful way at all. As I posted here some time ago, they're spam filtering government agency communications sending authentic mail from .gov -- which is really frustrating. It's out of control.
The balance of power doesn't necessarily mean all the power. There are many times a landlord wants to get rid of a person that pays their bill monthly and is still under contract. The landlord can tell them to leave, but they don't have to. So at that point the landlord can go in to asshole mode with little legal recourse unless you are very very good at documenting their behavior.
Hm, while I completely agree about not wanting proprietary garbage on my machine, I'm not sure about this logic. A third party can stipulate anything it likes, in order to use their service - you're always free not to use that service.
Arguably, the ability to certify that you, the user, are indeed running the code you say you are is a feature provided to you, rather than a restriction imposed upon you. Not a feature I have interest in using, but nevertheless it's possible to frame it that way around. The fact that such code tends to be proprietary is (again, very arguably) besides the point.

> Have you ever tried to carry a paper shopping bag farther than your driveway to your kitchen? They tear at the slightest movement, the handles fall off, even condensation from a cold beverage bottle is enough to cause them to disintegrate.

Yes, and you're exaggerating. You need to considerably overload a paper bag to cause it to tear, and even when I load up a bag with beer and milk cartons and everything I haven't had this happen. Maybe your supermarket doesn't know how to make a good paper bag?

Not true. Every year, a mutual fund is required to distribute an amount equal to the capital gains realized by the fund in that year. For a mutual fund that trades actively, that could be a sizeable fraction of the amount you have invested. This is cap gains, not a dividend. Stocks and ETF’s don’t do that. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/c/capitalgainsdistributio...
Incidentally, we watched The Matrix last night, for the first time in at least a decade, and were impressed by how well it has held up.

This is how baseball works and it seems to be fine.

College baseball does exist, but it's not a de-facto minor professional league like college basketball and football are. Even the lowest level of the professional minor league system is stronger than college baseball, and it's perfectly normal for strong enough players to be drafted directly from high school into the professional minors.

You are correct that the data is redacted, but I think it's a reasonable assumption to assume it's pretty bad for Tesla. If the data painted Tesla in a favorable light, they would be force-feeding it down our throats. They would do everything they could to let everybody know "here is the data proving we are safer."

Instead they are burying it behind legal procedures and doing everything they can to make sure nobody knows what the actual data says.

I cannot deny that I do not know anything with certainty. But it's more than just a guess that autopilot is not what's it's advertised to be.
I think that one possible reason this idea hasn't taken off is that banning plastic bags means retailers can sell their own reusable bags. Often if I go to the grocery store and forget my bags, I'll just buy a new once since they're like $1.50 at the register. Sure I could just pay the $0.10 for a paper bag, but for some reason I often don't. So now I have like 10 reusable bags in my pantry.

That hasn’t always been there. Or of it has, then the maintainers haven’t ever done anything with bug reports because there have been errors in the docs for the entire life of 5.x.

I don’t really recall earlier versions of PHP being any better either. So I really don’t think PHP became popular because of the docs.

The other comments about how it was easy to learn and easy to deploy is far more accurate. If I recall correctly, back when PHP gained traction, your main options then were Perl (which understandably confused the hell out of a lot of people), ASP (VBScript / JSScipt and requires Windows NT + IIS so not a popular option) or JSP (Java and at that time was pain to deploy. So not something you’d expect a casual web developer to bother with). So PHP is like BASIC or Raspberry Pi of the 90s web. It was made for one specific job, it didn’t do it perfectly, but it was cheap, easy to learn and just about good enough to get the job done.
