I find your argument quite flawed. Have you asked yourself why people immigrate? It is often to have or provide a higher quality of life to the people they care about. It is not about where you were born.

People and countries often make choices, some choices allows them to prosper while others don't. Think of Venezuela for example, the people chose to vote for a populist government and the government's decisions destroyed their economy. The individual living there now has to make a decision to stay and whether the storm or to leave in search of a better life. Is it the fault of Colombia, Brazil, Canada, US, Mexico that Venezuelans are looking for a higher quality of life? Is it the fault of these Colombia,et al that they look to find a way to sell it to their people that they should accept migrants? Although this is an extreme case, it puts things into perspective since you can do the same exercise for famines, wars, etc at different scales and different times in history.

On another point, some countries and families are dependent on remittance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remittance) to support their policies/themselves.
I've been vegan for 15 years, and I've tried all sorts of veggie burgers and mock meats available. Some of them are good, but pretty easy to tell they are not meat. When I first had the Beyond Burger last year (just plain with 2 thin slices of bread) it brought back a very strong memory of how meat used to taste. I wonder if most meat eaters would be able to tell it's not meat on a blind test.

I'm curious to try the Impossible Burger, but I haven't seen it in my area yet.
I’m sure you can find examples of nearly anything, but that last part really isn’t an accurate portrayal of what many/most feminists are saying. Their claim is more that a) women have unequal access/opportunity in high status jobs, and b) that lower status jobs are gendered in a way that systematic rewards women less... contra your claim, feminist thinkers as a whole spend a lot of time focusing on looking around/down, to use your metaphor.

Regardless of the accuracy - and I definitely have questions about some of the thinking that comes out of that that space - I think it's important to address the arguments people are actually making, rather than others characterizations of those arguments.
Can you clarify? "Out of" can mean either "outside of" or "within" weirdly enough.

Nope. Sales is human. If it were a codec it would be non-deterministic and lossy.

I think the whole sector of meat-substitutions would be very successful, can't speak about this specific IPO, because of the state of the entire market right now.

But if many big companies, highly invested in meat are investing in substitutes as well, they are not doing it from moral/humane/environmental reasons, they are just doing it for the money, so for those that are dedicated to this, it seems promising (if they can just survive the punches that "big meat" will send their way)
Broadly speaking, it's illegal to fire or otherwise punish people for this kind of concerted workplace action, under the Wagner Act. This is the cornerstone of US labor law.

It's important to point out that you can get fired for protesting alone. But once you start organizing, you unlock a lot of legal protections.

Minor suggestion: it should be easier to find how to get started (read install) for people trying to give Svelte a try.

I upvoted your comment and value your insight.

However imagine if you spent a significant amount of time reading and listening to explorations of suicide and people who committed suicide started to be interpreted as role models.

I have no issue with bad language and the full spectrum of human experiences but I can discern what is positive for myself and society.

I’m just a bit tired of how it’s normalised. I’d rather not hear about drug dealing, murders, prostitution and gold Rolexes with my Sunday brunch or while I buy a new pair of joggers.

Can’t we listen to Lupe Fiasco’s “Kick Push” instead?
i think this is a perfect example of:

ideas mean nothing, execution means everything.

you had the idea, but they had the connections(VC, industry, etc) and knowhow to execute on it faster and bring it to market faster.

Sad, but this is the market we have created! The rich can steal ideas, or do whatever they want, with impunity because they can defend their questionable actions in court. This is what AirBNB and Uber were built on.

1) Your uranium prices are way off. The uranium spot price as of April 15 is about $56,650 per metric ton: https://www.cameco.com/invest/markets/uranium-price

2) The energy density of uranium is admittedly spectacular. If you compare only uranium prices and fossil fuel prices, uranium wins every time. The problem is that all the equipment and personnel to turn uranium into electricity end up making American uranium-fueled electricity more expensive than gas-fueled electricity. That's why cheap gas has pushed so many operating American nuclear plants into the red, and why those plants need support beyond market prices to keep producing their steady low-emissions electricity. Quoting uranium price alone for nuclear power is like quoting silicon price alone for solar power -- it has very little bearing on the final delivered price of electricity.

3) Practically every power reactor design claims to supply affordable electricity before anyone actually builds one. The EPR did. The AP1000 did. Like pfdietz I'll trust ThorCon's claims after they have operating reactors to prove it, not before. New reactor designs claiming big improvements are no more special than big claims about spectacular new batteries or solar cells. Wait for commercial delivery, then measure. Most of these exciting early claims go nowhere.
At least in the American market, if you want the most horsepower per dollar, the Mustang is your best bet, particularly the 460 HP version. That is hardly “style over substance”.

The Subaru WRX has the same number of horse/dollars as the EcoBoost Mustang. Otherwise cars have quite a bit fewer horse/dollars.
That’s a fairly strange reading of the US data. It’s only true because of the USA’s massive use of emissions in other parts of their lives. In non-relative terms it’s still a huge reduction & if we can get in front of developing nations eating of ruminants it would pay large dividends.
But enumerating all the possible strings takes infinite time? Or, wait, is this saying that since there is some algorithm you can spend some constant amount of time to find it that doesn’t affect the time complexity of your algorithm? I’m not sure I’d call that “constructive”.

I love using PDB, but even still this has a different use case. Say you have a bug in a function and it depends on timing or it's a race condition, or it has a lot of statements. Being able to see the state throughout the function in your output may be able to catch things or speed up debugging.

"Using the Google casino for bug fixing is terribly frustrating. I Google a bit and after a while find a posting where some poor unfortunate soul has encountered exactly the same problem that I have. My heart leaps for joy. My trembling fingers enter the magic spell that will remove the curse, and ... nothing. The problem remains." LOL
The irony of your closing statement ("any result that just so happens....to agree with preconceived notions about "how things are" should be considered extremely suspicious and scrutinised....and noone who really wants to understand the relevant subjects should feel comfortable accepting such results as settled") is that such "settled" facts in the scientific community are exactly the things that Cahill has been challenging in the neuroscience field.

Specifically to his point that:

> the rationale was there aren’t any differences between males and females, so you avoid the unnecessarily complicated feature of the female hormonal cycle and study the male.

In other words...the "settled" science actually excludes the explicit study of, and furtherance of our understanding of, the female brain. Which in turn leads to a lessened ability to treat and address all sorts of conditions.

So by all means decry bias...but be aware that bias can be introduced by scientists wanting to cut corners and make research faster and easier so they can publish more just as much as they can be introduced by gender superiority zealots.

Why Detroiters Didn't Trust City Tree-Planting Efforts
To get the ball rolling, I'll share my personal experience. When I was studying engineering, we had to do a load of AutoCAD drawing. I found it a nightmare because you constantly had to type commands like "snap 10", "fillet radius 20", "fillet radius 10" etc.

It's worse because you have to move your right hand back and forth between typing commands on the keyboard and clicking the mouse.

At the time, I programmed an Arduino with a lot of the common pieces of text I was typing, and then wired the Arduino to a keypad so I could press a key and get it to type the text for me.

Have you had a similar problem in your engineering job? If so, how did you try to solve it?
In general, you can't copyright a "working part". That's why there are 3rd party auto parts. That's pretty much true in the software area too, although Google and Oracle are over- litigating that issue.

The idea here probably isn't patentable. "Locate and unlock a car's doors remotely" is not exactly original.

Just rewording the docs is cheezy. The other party should have done a full rewrite.

"Race itself is a social construct."

What do people mean by this exactly? I've heard some people make the case that the exact boundaries between ethnic groups can be socially constructed, which makes sense to me (like how one draws a hard line between two groups which have some admixture).

But the idea that ethnicities have nothing to do with biology and is a purely social phenomenon sounds like a lay-person's misunderstanding of the above claim. For example, it should be obvious that using a sperm/egg donor can lead to a child of a different ethnicity even if the socialization is kept the same (which you can't necessarily do perfectly in reality, but still).
Comfort Noise Generation
I had to Google-search it. (My kids are long grown.)
I am an omnivore, but deeply interested in meat substitutes. Before trying the burger by Impossible Foods, it was my opinion that the patty by Beyond Meat was definitely the best.

I am a big burger consumer, and I tend to rank the various substitute burgers on a scale that indicates how satisfied I feel afterwards, and how accurate the imitation is.

I felt like the Beyond Burger was 8/10 in terms of being as satisfying as a burger, but only 6/10 in terms of being a good imitation.

For an example on why I use the different scales, plant-based patties tend to sear differently than real beef, tending to produce a thin crisp layer. This isn't great in terms of being a good imitation, but it actually has really good mouthfeel, so it increases the enjoyment.

Being 8/10 in terms of satisfaction is a pretty important threshold for me. It is at the level where I can eat one and feel like I ate a burger. Most veggie patties are in the 4-7 range (Gardein is pretty good) in terms of satisfaction, and even lower imitation quality.

When I first had the Impossible Burger a couple years ago, it was 9/10 satisfying and 8/10 imitation. It still had the distinctive plant-based patty crispiness, but the internal texture was much more accurate. This was back when the Impossible was only in a few dozen restaurants in the country, so this was at a nice place in Las Vegas. I got an Impossible and a Wagyu beef burger side by side for comparison. By the time I finished, the most obvious physical difference I'd noticed was that the Impossible burger loses heat much faster than a real beef burger.

In January 2019, Impossible began rolling out their 2.0 recipe, and they are now in hundreds of locations. I got the 2.0 at an upper tier burger place ($20 for a burger) and again did a side-by-side test. The Impossible still lost heat faster than a real beef burger, but the characteristic thin crispy sear on the patty was reduced significantly.

Visually, the inside of the patty was virtually indistinguishable from real beef. It's 10/10 satisfying and 9/10 imitation. I think it's indistinguishable from a Burger King quality burger, but still not quite as hot and juicy as a more expensive gourmet beef burger. I imagine they might be able to just make a less healthy version that is packed full of various oils and whatnot to get that quality.

Once the Impossible Burger rolls out to grocery stores later this year, I will never have to buy ground beef again.

To Beyond Meat's credit, their Beyond Brats are the best veggie sausage I have had, and as far as I know, Impossible doesn't have immediate plans to take on that market. I've found that they have supply chain/production issues with Beyond Brats, though, as they are almost always sold out at the Whole Foods near me.

TL;DR I believe Impossible Foods is going to eat Beyond Meat's lunch
The key passage:

Charts like these (including my own) that attempt to correlate valuation metrics with future returns start off at a significant unfair advantage relative to other types of correlation efforts. Note that a valuation metric is just the current price divided by some variable (earnings, book value, sales, etc.). Neglecting dividends, the long-term future return is just the difference between the current price and some price far out in the future. Notice that “current price” shows up in both of these terms. Is it such a surprise, then, that valuation metrics and future returns seem to correlate well?

Roughly:

(1) Valuation Metric = Current Price / Variable

(2) Future Return = Future Price – Current Price

If future prices are inclined to rise at some rate over the long-term, then any time current price falls (and the same fall isn’t exactly mimicked way out in the future), (1) will go down, and (2) will go up. The valuation metric will fall, and the return–the distance between the future price and the current price–will rise. Hence the (inverse) correlation.

Now, if you choose a denominator for the valuation metric that is highly noisy, its noise may get in the way. But if you choose a denominator that is smooth over time, the pattern will hold. Notably, the plot of the valuation metric versus future return will end up producing a series of coinciding squiggles and jumps that create the visual illusion of non-trivial correlative strength, when there is none.

> if you assess people's abilities individually

Well, James Damore got fired from Google (and, apparently, blackballed out of the employment market entirely) for insinuating that Google was assessing people's abilities individually. While I think you're correct, the problem is that too many people seem to try to evaluate whether or not everybody's abilities are being assessed individually by looking at the end result rather than looking at the individuals involved.
Thank goodness for the labor movement.
If you know that such a proof exists, then it's guaranteed to terminate.
How could there be? Products like Beyond Meat are barely a decade old.
Sure, "gone" is clearly hyperbole. But the sentiment is accurate. GenX will pay for the Boomers to get 100% of their SS while they will likely receive less than the full value of their SS.

I tried MTurk as well out of curiosity. I only made a few dollars before giving up, but my observation was that like anything else in life, you get what you pay for. High paying jobs on MTurk require a impeccable record of a high number of accepted jobs and a near perfect acceptance ratio. You slowly (I can't emphasize how slow this is) build up your reputation as you complete jobs for pennies until you get to the category where you can accept jobs that pay $100 dollars or more.

Turkers who work hard to get the reputation to do high paying jobs won't risk losing the reputation by cheating. So if you want good results you need to pay up to get those Turkers on your job.

Years ago, I was at a social gathering of some sort. Another guest worked in tech for an organization that had an opening, for which a friend of mine seemed qualified. I took the information about the outfit, and emailed my friend.

She replied that she was pretty sure this was an organization she had interviewed at some time before. They found her qualified, and made her an offer substantially below what she had clearly said she required. They said, Well, we thought you'd find the work so interesting that you'd be willing to work for that. They thought wrong.
Not on such a broad idea, but a specific implementation for accomplishing such a task is much more likely to be patentable, and would be very useful to protect against a copycat that is just purely copying.
> Checking whether a string is a valid proof can be done in polynomial time.

That's not true. Curry-Howard says that determining if a proof is correct has the same complexity as programs in general. Even if P=NP, there are still complexity classes strictly larger than P; say EXP, that would result in a proof requiring exponential time to check for validity. That's assuming that "validity" here means true/false-ness, rather than syntactical validity, which is much less useful.
So far as I can tell, that number is speaking directly to methane emitted from livestock which is not where the majority of livestock emissions come from. It’s more related to the fossil fuel usage and transportation costs.
