If the machine is company owned then the designation is usually whether the artifact or area of work is related to the main course of work. If you freelance in the same industry as your employer, you may have a tough time proving the distinction. Most of these agreements are only enforceable, though, when there's an overlap of work area regardless of who owns the machine. If the company is giving the employee the ability to use the hardware for personal use then the point of the hardware being company-owned is irrelevant to whether the work is being done on behalf of the company and, therefore, owned by the company.

“First, acknowledge the disagreement and paraphrase the opinion of the person disagreeing to make sure ...”

YOU understand their position.

This is a fundamental mistake in this process that happens at the beginning and everything that follows is made worse because of it.

You don’t rephrase a person’s position to make them “feel heard.” What’s important is to get to the meat of why they hold that position, in case you are disagreeing with a misapprehension of their position, or you are disagreeing with a solution because you didn’t really understand the underlying problem a person is trying to address.

Often the real disagreement is a layer or more below the area where conflict is manifesting. It more often is a result of information asymmetry or a difference in priorities or perception of reality by the stakeholders.

This is the single most important part of engaging in productive disagreement, and without it much time is wasted, resentments are formed, non optimal solutions are generated, and disagreements resurface repeatedly but transformed such that they appear as new disagreements.

> The KKK flourished when local and state government turned a blind eye. In both cases the Feds eventually stepped in.

The KKK flourished when it was a major power in directing local, state and federal (including Presidential nomination) politics of one major party and generally had a blind eye turned to it by the other, at any level where that party had any influence. There wasn't just s “blind eye” from government as a whole, it was a major active player.
Not sure how much overall effect it will have, but Windows also recently released an update to perform better with Zen, and these benchmarks don't include that update. I'm not sure what the story was with CPU vulnerability mitigations were, but if those were turned off then Zen 2 could handily be beating Intel.

It certainly looks promising, but I'll still hold my excitement until we get some 3rd party benchmarks.

>The problem isn't night owls. It's the insistence from others that everyone be exactly the same, inborn traits be damned. So yeah, it's offensive.

How is it "offensive"? No one is forcing you to live any specific way, but if you want to fit in with what "society" has deemed "normal", then you have to follow the norms and rules.

Thinking the rest of the world should cater to your personal circumstances is offensive. Why should they adapt to you, and not vice versa? Where did this entitlement come from, that not only should someone provide you with a job, but also that you should get to decide when and how you'll perform it? If the "real world" doesn't jibe with you it's your responsibility to find a place where you fit. There are lots of things I don't like about the modern rat race, and I adapt.
Who says logs have to be written to a file — at least as far as the user is concerned? Logs are a series of events — a LogStore will let you read events as they are appended.

Component cost guesstimates are not a precise science as more and more components are not sold on open market.

For example, I was astonished when a $1000 IHS report called iPhone 4 battery at ~$10 when the retail price of a replacement is less than that.

iPhone 3 was certainly around just $30 to $40 dollars in cost, but after that, the "arms race" began.

At around iPhone 4 era, all big makers began putting more and more custom and direct sourced components, and estimating costs got much harder.

So this seems to be the key paragraph about what starts the hardening.

>Using NMR spectroscopy, the researchers found that when the cells become stressed and die, they release PAR, which binds very strongly to calcium ions. Once released, the PAR starts mopping up calcium into larger droplets which stick onto the components in artery walls that give the artery its elasticity, where they form ordered crystals and solidify, hardening the arteries.

But then they don't discuss it at all - just talk about the potential solutions and discovery etc.

Can anyone elaborate on what this means "that when the cells become stressed and die"? Is this something we have control over? Is it related to stress? Does diet & exercise reduce the incidence of this? Is it inevitable?

Or from another angle "Once released, the PAR starts mopping up calcium into larger droplets which stick onto the components" does this imply that reduction of blood calcium (via exercise etc) reduces the impact of these cell deaths?
For what it's worth, most Marxists favor some form of democracy. The libertarian wing favors direct democracy while other tendencies favor different forms of representative democracy. Democracy is favored for exactly the reason that unclear power structures are a kind of oppression and that democracies broadly speaking offer decision making power to the people. A big difference between a Marxist and a liberal is in the analysis of the economic base of power which can either support or undermine democratic structures.

"Marxist revolutions 'of the peasants' pioneered this mass delusion of flattening."

Ironically the Bolshevik revolution didn't really start out this way. The Bolsheviks advocated for a strict disciplined party model - if you've ever read what Lenin wrote of the Left-communists and Anarchists, it was clear that he was very much not mindlessly "against" structure. Of course, this would all eventually be liquidated by Stalin and Mao.

"Flat" organizations rarely seek to deliberately create cabals and power cliques - they do inevitably occur, sure, but the call for flatness usually comes as a result of you not getting what you really want out of the system. Ulterior motives are not really at play; rather it is just a case of organic collapse.

> It seems possible that the US will get itself into a conflict, possibly (hopefully!) non-total, that disrupts its globalised supply chains and results in massive US business losses.

Before WW1 happened, people thought there was no way a major war in Europe, entangling the major powers, would happen because all of their economies were tied together and it would result in a major economic collapse. However, the war still happened.
I would expect that there are national security laws that could be used if not explicit nationalisation.
Saving this as it makes the point I've been trying to make for years much more elegantly.

Just because you don't call out the structure doesn't mean there isn't one.

I worked for Apple about 5 years ago, and there almost everyone I interacted with carried an Apple-owned iPhone that was specially setup for running internal in-development software. This was Apple's way of getting those builds tested by a large number of people before they went out.

There were a few (software) restrictions placed on the devices, namely that you had to have password lock turned on, and a password complexity policy. But after that they really did not interfere at all. When I left I reset that phone myself, and then bought a new iPhone and used the backup (not including OS) of that phone off of iCloud (of course minus the Apple email account they just turned off, and a couple of Apple-only apps I was using).

Other than some basic access controls on systems (especially around iOS sources), and a lot of prototype-asset-tracking (I ran a lab with a lot of that), Apple really does trust their developers to do the right thing. If they trust you to have the information, then they trust you not to share it without a lot of big-brother monitoring.

And there really is very little in the way of an IT department at Apple as you would normally think of it. They provided the network and the printers, but setting up your own computer was usually up to you and whatever help you got from your team (who really were the ones who knew what you needed for resources).

> A lot of people who advocate flat or structureless organizations actually have philosophical problems with even direct democracy for decision making.

It seems to me they have a problem with anything, frankly.

Mainly I just wanted to point out that democracy is also a flat system and has no kings.

Still, majority in democracy happens ad hoc. You don't know on which side of the fence you will sit. At least, in the mean, you will agree with the majority.

(And by the way, there is a common folklore that representative democracy can protect minorities better. There are several reasons why this is untrue, and in fact, direct democracy protects minorities better than representation.)
Canada should take the opportunity here and offer some funding to develop VR and AR that can help facilitate the transition away from having animals be captive...a sort of virtual Zoo. If they aim to build something like that and offer appropriate funding, I bet it can be a really interesting and competitive attraction that can be completed in 20 years.

Especially with the death of retail, can you imagine large retail spaces getting converted into awesome VR parks?

I don't know who they are targeting with this concept, but, as a developer, a lot of thing are wrong :

- Anything that require the mouse make me slower.

- Trackpad gesture require a ... trackpad, and trackpad are worst than a mouse.

- Speaking of the trackpad, anyone can put 6 fingers on it ? look painfull to me.

- Animation are nice, but useless, they make the computer slower and takes time to complete.

To me, this look anything but productive.

Agreed. Throwing gobs of money at Elsevier, Springer, etc., regardless of whether it's front-end or back-end, doesn't seem like a winning proposition to me.

I'm not going to say that they don't add any value, but the existence of overlay journals like Discrete Analysis, and other high-quality "pure play" open-access journals like JMLR, and JAIR, etc., suggest to me that it's possible to create a journal system where very little money is required on either end. I think our aspiration should be to see most scientific publishing move to such a model.

From a cursory look, they all look the same. I remember the LM went through lots of iterations before it was practical (and it's entirely possible Snoopy was too heavy) but it's hard to see too many differences between the versions that actually flew. What changed seemed to be landing weight and life support for the crew (later versions allowed multiple EVAs and remained landed much longer than Eagle).

Still, no EVA suits is one thing, but having no operable ascent engine is really terrible because, if something goes wrong with the descent engine (which is the thing being exercised here) the crew has no backup whatsoever in case they have no option but landing (maybe a guidance issue that requires the LM to stop - in general emergency landings in places with no breathable atmosphere are a mistake).
Not GP, but I've pitched to a crossover fund from China and they were super seedy. On top of having a questionable website and other investments, one of the red flags was they wanted their engineers to review our source code before/without signing any NDAs or commitments.
This press release is wildly overselling this research. It's not anywhere near as simple as calcium deposits causing vascular disease. CAC (coronary artery calcification, where this has been most examined) is essentially an inevitable byproduct of the process of atherosclerosis; calcification anywhere is a halmark of necrotized cells. Since atherosclerosis results from necrotic cells (primarily macrophages) which have invaded the vasculature, the extent of coronary artery calcification is a good marker of the extent of atherosclerosis that has occurred and is thus a good predictor of future coronary events.

However, that does not imply that removing coronary calcium will reduce coronary events. In fact, statin therapy by itself actually increases coronary artery calcification.

It turns out that calcified and fibrotic atherosclerotic plaques are not the plaques that rupture and cause thrombosis and myocardial infarction; in fact, the responsible plaques tend to be large, lipid-rich plaques with a thin cap (called thin cap fibroatheromas). Calcium can actually be protective in helping to form robust caps over plaques. There is a lot of work on characterizing cap-Calcium microstructure. Theoretically, removing calcium somehow using drug agents could have an adverse effect.
Take a look at Apple's new Voice Control feature coming to iOS and macOS. You can see it on youtube or on Apple's home page.
The bit about replacing folder hierarchies with tags and search reminds me of some ideas that are actually pretty old now. Back in the '80s and '90s, there was a wave of interest in replacing the traditional filesystem with a relational database, for most of the same reasons as outlined here (we can store more files than we can meaningfully organize, hierarchical organization doesn't really fit lots of use cases, searching is easier than clicking up and down a hierarchy, etc.).

This led to a bunch of different products and almost-products, like Apple's "Soups" for the Newton (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_(Apple)) and Microsoft's WinFS (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinFS), and the original file system for BeOS (see https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2008/03/past-present-future-...).

None of these ever really took off, though. Mostly this was because they ran into unsolvable performance problems. Hardware has come a long way since the mid-'90s, though, so it'd be interesting to see if those ideas that were impractical then are practical today.
