That's not the main criticism, it's a bit of polemic following on from the rest of the analysis; I quoted it here only to mention that Marx does engage with these thinkers. The criticism is too long to reproduce here but you can check it out on sites that host Marx's collected works. I can't remember if opportunity cost is discussed.

I'm curious what criticism of Marx's historiography you're mentioning though. While controversial, his theory of historical materialism is not discounted in contemporary history academic literature.

I use the 1Password emergency kit and put it in an "In Case of Emergency" envelope I left in our family safe for my wife. Has lists of accounts, insurance policies, etc, along with advice for my wife in a time of emotional turmoil. I wouldn't mind some kind of reliable service that could serve a similar purpose, but more proactively. My wife knows about the envelope, of course, but it would be nice to have someone on retainer that could step in and be a helping hand (with a fiduciary responsibility, too).

Probably exists, and I haven't tried too hard to find it.
I am happy to see this.

Some wild animals, especially high-functioning ones -- are meant to be seen in the wild.

If they are in imminent danger, of course -- building city-like habitats to protect them (whatever a 'city' would mean in their context) -- is more than appropriate.

We could also invest into building teams of people whose show-business is around building relationships with animals in the wild, in such a way that they can periodically visit the team and not be spooked by onlookers.

It takes years, dangerous, and would not always work -- but much more humane than keeping these creatures in forced captivity.
>Wow, so they passed a national law that essentially targets just a single park?

It doesn't target them, it targets all Canadian wildlife institutions. The legislation has been in the works for a while, this is really codifying something federally that provinces and environmentalists have been trying to do for a while.

Just because a lot of the ground work was already done before the bill was signed into law over the last decade doesn't mean this is targeted at the last remaining holdout (who is mostly grandfathered in to be clear, they can't bread or capture but can keep what they have).
Meh.

AWK worked fast enough in a previous article referenced from HN, and that's software solidified in the 80's.

Virtual desktops and someting akin the FVWM interface is truly the best interface ever. No need to iconify(minimize), windows because all junk can be sent to different pages on your environment, focusing on your actual work.

It may be outdated according to the vision of the Gen-Z, but it works well and ridiculously fast to grasp.
I think it's pretty cool. I see no reason why the current desktop paradigm - as used to it as I am - is the pinnacle of efficiency.

It's not so different than a tiling window manager, but introduces some unique input methods and a hybrid touch control system that I'd like to try before I judge.

I also feel that voice can and will play a larger role in input in the coming years. If it works well enough, it can be faster and easier for many. Especially those with disabilities, or prone to RSI as many in the tech sector are.

Tagging to replace folders isn't a new idea, and was introduces by Gmail a decade ago. It works well. I do think that in the days of machine learning, a system for automatically generating tags would make this process even more fluid.

Is it perfect? Probably not. But I find these alternate interface projects wonderful to play with. It takes imaginative and bold ideas to make them real, and I applaud the author for that alone.
I am having issues with it too!

Loss aversion is actually significantly powerful and difficult to overcome, but think about why, it's only very recently that humanity can easily procure anything it needs for survival with relative ease in most countries. While getting something new is exciting losing something is far harder when you never know when/if your going to be able to gain it again. It's helped humans survive throughout our history, so I wouldn't be hard on yourself that it wasn't easy to detach, you were just practicing a survival skill.

> "One operation per port, per cycle"
> I didn't catch the issue, can you elaborate?

I could just be wrong, but I thought that on Intel Ports 2 and 3 handle the address calculation separately from the fetch, and thus technically do two operations per cycle. Or at least, this is the impression I got from the fact that IACA splits the number of operations for each into two separate columns, and from some diagrams that split those ports into LD and STA.

I think this may be related to the simple vs complex address calculations, although I'm fuzzy on the details. When I said "I wasn't sure" I was if anything understating my uncertainty.

YouTube has a nice video of Brian May going thorough the master for Bohemian Rhapsody. It gives a good idea of what’s on a master and also interesting insights into how they overcame some of the technical limitations of equipment at the time—like recording multiple times over the same track to make up for limited channels on the tape-based system. Really interesting stuff.

What Privacy Experts Said Would Happen
I believe the estimated rise is for global mean temperatures but the linked article is discussing a local peak temperature, which aren't really comparable units.

This fundamental misunderstanding is likely what prevents people from really understanding the impact of global warming. After all, a 2.5° difference is well within the daily temperature variance or every region of the US. It takes a decent understanding of statistics to understand that an 5% increase in an average translates to a very large increase in the frequency of rare events at the extreme.

I.e., a 1 inch increase in average human height translates into something like a 10-100x increase in the number of people over 7ft tall, yet a set of brothers may vary in height by much more than an inch.

A number of PARP inhibitors have been recently approved by the FDA as maintenance therapy for ovarian cancer (Olaparib, for example). Since the standard course of treatment for these patients is months to years of treatment, there may be a real-world test of this discovery and the impact of decreased poly ADP ribose on atherosclerosis. Someone should send this article to AZ and Merck so they can follow up with these patients.

No I'm not often surprised, but it is interesting to run across someone who thinks so differently from me.

In fact I've had a great deal of experience with a person exhibiting what seems like a similar cluster of behaviours.

Call it a kind of 'professional curiosity', which is why I kept the thread going past the point where any agreement seemed possible.

A poster here one said that "everyone thinks their experiences are normative". I suspect both of us are perhaps doing that.

The Gates Foundation incidentally is one of the strongest voices in the push for Open Access. As a large and influential scientific funder, they were one of the first to demand research they funded to be OA, and recently one of the first non-founding parties to sign up for the strongest push for OA so far: Plan S.

Unfortunately, it's not a problem you can solve just by throwing money at it. It's primarily an incentive problem, and the only influence the Gates Foundation has on that is through its funding of research. In that regard, it's doing very well.
No, there are no current day U.S. equivalents to the Uyghur reeducation camps, the ethnic cleansing of Tibet, and the extreme censorship.

What's more, there is no evidence that China is even capable of changing course on these matters, given that their reaction to all these is to deny that they're even real, even suppressing the merest mention of them.

Notably, this is not what the US does with its own wrongdoing, as even extreme anti-government sentiment is allowed to be freely expressed.

If first world nations change their attitude towards plastics, the third world nations will follow suit eventually.

Eventually?

Several Indian states have already banned single use plastic bottles and polystyrene food packaging, etc. The Indian government has also already banned lightweight plastic bags nationwide.

So has Tanzania, Eritrea, Djibouti, Gabon, Gambia, Haiti, Ivory Coast, Malawi, Namibia, Kenya, Rwanda, Mali, Morocco and many other "third world nations". In fact, if you look at the list and map¤, it's saturated with bans in "third world nations" while most rich countries are dragging their feet or ignoring the problem. After all, we can just export our garbage to Africa, right?

The UK is planning to ban plastic straws except those sold through pharmacies. That seems like the right balance, they're available to those that need them, but denormalises them for standard usage, and incentivises retailers to stock alternatives.
A good resource to learn more about scaling flat self-organizing organizations is the book Reinventing Organizations. It's a curious mix of dreamy hippie philosophy interspersed with very practical examples of flat orgs and how they remain flat while still getting things done.
President tends to dictate congress when they are popular and congress is of the same party. While there can be some push back, it will become costly come election time. SCOTUS has strongly defined limits on what they can do, but given they are made up of picks by the President and approved by congress the shape of the SCOTUS changes depending upon whom is in power when the existing members leave.

The President is generally immune to congress until they do something that gets enough congressional support for impeachment. This has proven extremely hard to do so far. The President also gets significant say over any issue that doesn't strongly unify congress.

Thus, for an issue that is popular in congress and unpopular with the President, but not popular enough in congress to override a veto, the hierarchy does President > Congress (a > b means a is above b). SCOTUS almost never gets involved when it comes to passing laws.

When it comes to an issue that is popular enough congress is willing to override a veto and which is popular enough with voters that congress going against the President on it isn't a threat, then congress > President.

I don't think anyone is claiming there is a simple hierarchy that consistently applies regardless of scenario. Even in a classical monarchy the hierarchy can shift for extreme enough scenarios.

The question isn't what do people normally do. The question is what's possible without Google's help. 200ms click-to-render is not difficult.

Google can get that down to 20ms or whatever with AMP, but for 99.999% of sites, Google's monopoly position is not the thing holding you back from faster loads.

Desktop is usually more productive when you're sitting down to work.

Desktop is probably not more productive if you're walking down the street or riding a crowded bus or subway.

It all comes down to your environment. The mobile UX is optimized for when you're mobile and can't provide the kind of higher-precision input typically required to interact with a desktop UX.

Any one that takes NJTransit during rush hour knows just how little Amtrak cares about commuters. For those who don't.

Nice, that sounds amazing to take pills instead eat natural food. B12 synthetic, or Cyanocobalamin, is the most dangerous thing you can eat.

Animals have spent billions of years evolving to live in and handle the world they naturally inhabit. Taking them out of that, putting them in a small cages where they don't feel safe, they don't understand whats happening. They are surrounded by things that are threats in the wild, noises they aren't familiar with, etc..

Putting a wild animal in a cage isn't "boredom", its torture.

> Now biological evolution is complete because it is displaced by the evolution of civilization

That's not a true statement.

>Why do animals have to suffer in wild nature now?

Because animals ARE wild/ARE Nature. You can't remove nature from nature.

>allowing animals to live in the wild will be considered a crime (like living children unattended).

This is... absurd... Animals are not pets, animals ARE wild, they are dangerous. They are also required for life on this planet to continue. The ecosystem depends on animals at all levels of the energy/food web for it to exist and continue and screwing with this on that level would largely ensure the collapse of the worlds ecosystems.
