Is your statement 'Saying that it evolved is not saying how it evolved.'?

We have planetary and solar system dynamics fairly well understood in terms of models and matching that with observational data. So I think an astrophysicist could make the how argument from an evolutionary perspective.

It's irrelevant if Huawei is the worse. What's relevant is Huawei's abismal incompetence.
This is roughly my understanding as well, but when we start talking about averages and trends across many industries and countries, I think personal observations might not count for much. Very few people have that wide range of experience.
The whole political process is so tied up in entertainment now it's hard to see the lines between them anymore. It seems especially bad on the R side (surprise surprise) and I don't just mean the President, but it's affecting the entire institution of the Federal government.

Running for, and even attaining, office is a stepping stone to or enhancing move for an entertainment career, and vice-versa, in a way and to a degree I'm pretty sure it didn't used to be in the fairly recent past. And an entertainment career is even more of a feedback-loop into any other business ventures one might have than it used to be, and it already very much was. I mean, being a celebrity used to help with running for office for obvious reasons, but now running for office is a pretty good action to take if you want to become a celebrity.

"Enhance your personal brand today—run for office! Just remember, your number one goal isn't winning, it's raising your profile. If you happen to win that's great, but it's beside the point. Feel free to be crazy and weird. Worst case, run as an R and as long as your activities and personality are notorious enough you're guaranteed a steady income for the occasional appearance on Fox News as an expert in... well, doesn't matter really! Maybe they'll even give you your own show! Have a book ghostwritten—it's like free money!"
A few thoughts

- President is unlike CEO/Senator/leading figure in that it has a fixed 4 year cycle (even Senator's can be democratically replaced in a few months with a by election).

- President is unlike the others in that it has a built in redundancy, the vice president. You should probably weight your opinion of the vice president candidate stronger when considering a president who is likely to become ill.

- Extremely old people seem to be as likely to be forward looking to me as middle aged people, perhaps more so. Many still care about their legacy, they probably have less concerns about personal wealth.

- Every presidential candidate is necessarily out of touch, you don't get to be in that position if you lead an even remotely normal life.

Honestly this makes me skeptical of an AI delivery person unless it starts in high cost of labor countries like the USA. It would be silly to try to beat the low human labor costs of China or Southeast Asia.

On my way home today I wrote down why I liked it.
I'm strongly pro EU but at the same time sad that the subsidiarity principle has become so weak. The EU can be better than this. Should be, has to be.

I mean I understand that you can't introduce a bill like the GDPR effectively if every EU country does it differently. But plastic? Come on.

I support the gist of this ban by the way, yet agree with you that it has nothing to do at the EU level.

There's also the all-or-nothing fallacy, where you don't do anything because it's not perfect.
Doesn't every tech worker face burnout before they reach 30. Especially in silicon valley or the startup scene. Why should it be any different in china.

It's pretty much high risk, high reward. The startup I worked at, we all slept in our offices working 24/7 to reach milestones every few months. The point work hard and get the company sold off within 10 years and retire.
The Belgian military policy has never been an aggressive one (modest-sized country and army)

Sadly, that's not always enough.

Ask Ukraine and Georgia about what can happen to non-aggressive, modest countries with modest armies.

NATO is some sort of US military policy deployed
in european countries, and can serve (as in this
case) US commercial interests.

I totally agree and I wish that wasn't the case.

But the solution to that is MORE engagement, responsibility, and contribution by European NATO allies, not less.

The greater Europe's role in NATO, the smaller the US's role can be...

Looking at that odds chart got me in a betting mood. I think those Yang odds in the article could be steep given the exuberance of some in his online following, however there could be interesting arb plays with an outsider like Yang like going long presidency+short nomination paired with going short presidency+long nomination with someone more establishment like Biden.

If prediction markets had more depth, I’m sure we would see politics hedge funds emerge.
You’re right. I thought they could abstract away the network parallelization but they can’t.
I'm bullish on Yang's and Buttigieg's chances in general. I also think that their chances of winning the nomination (and election) are much lower than the odds indicated in betting markets.

There is a huge betting market selection bias in that the only people using these betting platforms are young and tech-savvy (i.e. the type of people who are in these candidates' base). Additionally, you can place nominally small bets, meaning there is no real skin in the game. Increase the minimum bet size to $10,000 or so and I think the odds will become much more realistic.
Lightning Strike just launched.

$12,998 for 90hp 10kw battery w/3.3kw onboard charger

416,998 for 90hp 15kw battery w/3.3kw onboard charger

$19,998 for 120hp 20kw battery w/6.6kw onboard charger and Ohlins suspension

Pretty solid numbers, waiting to read reviews.

Quite an interesting pricing ladder compared to Zero Motorcycles product range and Harley-Davidson’s upcoming LiveWire.

It will be interesting to see if the $12,998 version gets delayed like Tesla Model 3.

Zero Motorcycles have done quite well to develop the motorcycle market in the US and justifiably deserve some of the media spotlight focused on Tesla.

As a lifelong moto4cycle fanboy, I sincerely hope Lightning and their new Strike model are a success.

The problem here comes when there's no possible state of compromise that would make even anyone at all happy. For example, on a border wall: you build it to be functional, or you don't. A non-functional border wall is essentially not a border wall.

There's no compromise state; instead, there's at best some kind of tit-for-tat, where you'll concede something else in exchange for your most important plans.

Wax-coated paper is also unrecyclable. We are talking about biodegradable here, not recyclable.

There's another element in there - that older candidates simply have more history to contend with. That's not always a bad thing, like Bernie Sanders' presence in the anti-racism protests of the 60s. But it can be a bad thing, like Bernie Sanders having taken a trip to the USSR in 1988 (I won't disagree with anyone who says that isn't actually a thing to care about, but people do). Biden in particular is going to come up against a lot of issues for his previous zero-tolerance crime advocacy, and for the treatment of Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings.

Younger candidates simply don't have to contend with that reckoning. But they have a lot less experience. You could make the case that experience should be good for a candidate, but that it doesn't always work out that way.

I think you are missing the prior commentor's point. MITM already has a specific definition. It isn't as broad as you are attempting to redefine it.

This concept is commonly understood by security people and commonly confused by software developers. I suspect the failure is that for software developers all parts of a network are in the middle between their application and their end user, so anything in that nebulous space corresponds with the words comprising MITM. That line of thinking is reductio ad nausium.
It may be the most boring solution of all: education. Without someone telling our 16-18 year olds the idea of VALUE in education, they will end up over-spending. See the story below for my own analysis of myself:

When I compare my skill-set and knowledge-set now to 12 years ago, when I was 18, I am remarkably astounded by the huge amount of $$ I casually dropped on an elite education. Even with $20k paid by merit scholarships and research grants, I was dropping $40k yearly for an education that was maybe 10-15% better than what I could've gotten for $5k yearly at a local school. If I took that $35k yearly and invested it into the stock market, I'd probably be about $200k richer today. Is that 10% of a difference really worth $200k to me now? Is a slightly deeper/broader knowledge better than half a home, in my MCOL area? Is it better than a Tesla and a yearly $10k vacation to expand my horizons? I doubt it...
Indeed it seems neat. And you will learn to ignore CM87 the way you (used to) ignore phone area codes.

Although it looks like CM87tt20 only gets you within a km or so, does CM87tt20aa get you down to a building?
I think “I don't know, that's not my department” is a better explanation than an elaborate one which purports to address the question but which is both inconsistent with itself and, whichever way you resolve the internal inconsistency, also with the external evidence, so even reading “evolution” as “the theory of evolution by natural selection”, I think it's the better explanation.

But “better” always involves a subjective quality judgement.

As an Andrew Yang fan myself, I was shocked to see that PredictIt has him as the third most expensive (read likely) candidate after Bernie and Biden, at least when I checked. This is in stark contrast to his 0-1% polling rate in the most recent polls.

So, are they just very leading indicators? It got me thinking that it's a relatively cheap campaign strategy since people like to refer to those as some sort of "market based odds" thing. Is it legal and/or ethical for campaigns to buy themselves on the betting markets to drive up the appearance of demand?

We'll see come the Apr 1 FEC reporting deadline if it translates to campaign donations, which are on of the real signals of the seriousness of campaigns.

I've tried migrating from Inbox a while back because I knew this was coming…

I'd never had the chance to see how Inbox's travel stuff works, but I just came back from a business trip from NYC to Mountain View and back.

Anyway, I noticed that Gmail bundled the email very well, to the point where I got virtually all the information I needed for my trip from the headings that are added by Gmail. Out of curiosity, after seeing this article I looked up the same thing on Inbox, and it's not any better than on Gmail.

This is a one-off thing, and maybe this particular travel agency and airline, etc. were better than some others? But I really can't complain, honestly.

"The Mercator projection is often held to be an imperialist distortion of the globe, and that's what traditional latitudes and longitudes use." There is a difference between a projected coordinate system (like Mercator) and geographic coordinate systems. In Mercator you use projected Mercator-Meters not Latitude and Longitude. All you need to know for local R² (2D Euclidean) estimates, is that longitudes scale with cos(latitude), that's it. How does your system handle 89°N 0°W, and 89°N, 180°W ? Does it infer 222km or 346km? If it's the latter, it's not spherical as in S².

There is quite a body of research into equal-area hierarchical partitions of Sphere. Adressing there is mostly neither trivial nor intuitive and also not compatible with most raster data formats when it comes to storage.

You'd then be biasing it towards the opinions of people who can afford a 10,000 dollar bet. I'm not sure that that's any better.

Is Andrew Yang a writer? I'd be interested in reading some of what he's written that's longer than a tweet.

I did find the weekly campaign updates, which are okay as far as they go.
From what I gather the thing is based on WASI which in early beta and for which many parts don't exist or don't work, networking and file access being a few of those [1]: Note that everything here is a prototype, and while a lot of stuff works, there are numerous missing features and some rough edges. One big thing that's not done yet is the actual mechanism to provide a directory as a pre-opened capability, to allow files to be opened. Some of the pieces are there (__wasilibc_register_preopened_fd) but they're not used yet. Networking support is also incomplete.

In other words, this is a somewhat premature announcement when it comes to fulfilling those promises.

Yang's chances are small, Buttigieg's chances are about equal to Beto's, and better than any other candidate's outside of Biden. (And it's an open question as to whether Biden is actually serious.)

There are a lot of instrument-rated pilots; it's not a high bar (https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/active-pilots/ratin...).

There are far too many people making pronouncements on this issue who have no business doing so.
This is done to simulate popular launches (eg. hire people to wait in line when your new store or restaurant opens, to give the impression that the new place is hot) or for faking headcount metrics for investors (eg. hire people for a day when the investors come, so they can gawk at the open office full of people).

It's ethically dubious, but if it's done for a day or two, it's not that expensive compared to actually hiring that many people on a full time basis.

I agree that facebook's advertising practices allowed for illegal discrimination. A good case of "move fast and break things." Some journalists go farther though, and suggest that even the concept of a credit score is racist.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/oct/13/your-c...

Consider the 2 possible worlds:
1. One in which disadvantaged minorities have poor credit because of their poor socioeconomic status. Once statistical controls are used to control for socioeconomic status, all ethnic groups are equivalent.
2. One in which, even after controlling for socioeconomic status, disadvantaged minorities still have worse credit than the general population.

In both of these worlds, race can be used as a weak predictor of credit quality. Many of the moral claims made by The Guardian are absurd, and overly protectionist.

>The insidious notion that our credit history speaks to our reliability as human beings is largely taken for granted.

If you, as a business owner, had to choose to hire someone with a good credit score or a bad one, all else being equal, what would you choose? Conscientiousness and intelligence both correlate with socioeconomic status, both being good traits for a worker.
What other fast JITs in existence are there that are worth noting?

AFAIK, there is no evidence that early standing in prediction markets is any better a predictor than early polling; prediction markets tend to converge to the ultimate result close to the election, but so do polling numbers.

Does anyone know exactly how they develop this listing of innovative companies? It seems like this was just a survey that I'm assuming they shipped out to certain people across industries. But how insightful is this actual list? It's basically just the biggest, most popular, highest market cap companies out there. Is Google really the most innovative company? I guess I can't help but give something like this a big eye roll, because it all depends upon what you consider to be innovative. I think people are also biased towards innovation that is technically based when you can have process innovation or thought/conceptual innovation. Overall, I'm just not sure that this tells you anything interesting or exciting.
