> It has been disproven countless times by simply looking at network traffic of the apps.

I dont have reason to believe the apps are listening. BUT I dont think absence of network traffic alone is enough to disprove it.

They could do all the processing on device, and assign different Trademarks different numbers, and the network traffic would be as simple as ++10456827 ++9814132. The network traffic would be a very easy part to disguise or tuck away with other transactions.

(Googles Pixel 2 Now Playing identifies what song is playing near a microphone, while the device is offline. Its absolutely reasonable that phones could identify trademarked terms without an internet/cellular connection.)
Excellent mesh propagation, but what about capacity in the backhaul link? Without major contention for resources in the network, speeds should be fantastic. As subscriber density increases, which seems to be the premise for their competitive advantage, won't the fiber link become the bottleneck?
Approved by the FDA today, this is a 3-drug cocktail which has shown a 90% cure rate against a highly deadly strain of TB called "XDR" (eXtensively Drug Resistant) in a small trail of 109 patients. It consists of pretomanid, bedaquiline, and linezolid, dosed daily for 6 months.

Pretomanid was developed by the TB Alliance, and is targeted to be offered at a cost of $1 per dose. Back in 2000, apparently they raised about ~$150 million for drug development [1], I'm curious how much more they raised/spent since then to get to this point.

Bedaquiline was developed by Janssen, it's not clear at what cost. They have a tiered pricing structure for a 6-month course ($900/$3,000/$30,000) but 3rd world cost has recently come down to $360. [2]

Linezolid was developed by Pfizer, off patent since 2015. Pfizer doesn't seem to limit the cost in South Africa to any reasonable extent, charging between $60 - $150 per dose depending on who is buying it. However at least generics have come online in pill form for ~$7/dose [3]

It sure would be nice if the development costs from Janssen and Pfizer were public, since it makes it basically impossible to compare, but the development model for pretomanid, and the innovative funding of the trials through TB Alliance to me demonstrates -- at least for diseases which are prevalent enough to build these alliances and obtain the donations -- a truly superior approach to providing treatment options for the world at prices that the world can afford.

Congratulations to everyone involved for reaching such an impressive outcome, and particularly for doing it in an ethically responsible and economical approach. XDR TB is not currently extremely prevalent (seems like < 5% of all TB, but growing), but this is the first new TB drug approved in apparently in 40 years, and changes a 60% fatal diagnosis into a 90% curable disease, with a much simpler treatment protocol.

> Inflation is a consequence of money spent foolishly

No, it's a consequence of printing money as soon as the newly printed money gets out into the economy. The only reason the previous rounds of QE in the last decade didn't cause inflation was that practically all of it stayed in the banks' accounts at the Fed and never got loaned out, so it never actually got into the economy.

> The same arguments were made against the New Deal.

Yes, and they were valid then too. The New Deal didn't work; what restarted the US economy was World War II.
No if they did that it would look "pixelated".

They seemed to have built an edge optimized image upscaler. It prevents the edges from becoming soft during the upsampling.

My feeling about Kafka is that it's a useful tool to solve the "we MUST get this data to reliable storage IMMEDIATELY" problem. And to greatly mitigate the "each item must be processed and shown to be processed, exactly once" problem.

But there are relatively few situations where that's absolutely vital. And you can solve it with good ol' SQL.
It's not profitable but they should put more focus on the people bringing in the majority of their views, meaning pay them more than the clown who just came along and got lucky on one or two videos (most likely copying someone else with a bigger following).
I think more simply it's about communication overhead, not necessarily social dynamics.

But adding hardware to the mix changes things. "When it's done" no longer works as well as with software.

This is a good point. What if one spends $20,000 fixing up a property, and that contributes to what is ultimately a $50,000 increase in appraisal value?

EDIT: There is an existing response from another comment thread:

>That's a great point! This is why we deduct any home improvement costs from the gross profit calculation. So, if you spent 10,000 fixing the pipes and the gross profit was originally 100,000, we would actually deduct that from the gross profit. So our 20% share would be on top of 90,000 and not 100,000.
Thanks for sending the screenshot! That site shows up with "no information is available for this page", which means that while robots.txt has disallowed bots from crawling it the page is still linked from other pages that do allow crawling.

The robots.txt protocol gives instructions to crawlers about how they should interact with the site. If you instead want to give instructions to indexes, use the noindex meta tag.
A much better metric would be to classify the plastic found into major types (polyamides, polyesters, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyurethane, etc) and then to quantify how much (either in mass or weighted also by surface area) there is of each type. All of these factors will have a big impact on how dangerous or safe the microplastics are.

In fact, microplastic counts often do not even separate out cellulose based fibers such as Rayon. Then you are talking about a "plastic" which is safe enough to be used for sausage casings, it's just wood pulp which has been broken down and spun into fibers.

The research into microplastics is very much in its infancy, like early research into disease transmission talking about the deadly "miasma".
I think in this case, they're attempting to keep the "inked" look where lines start and stop. Pixel doubling would result in aliasing (or, rather, a "pixelated" look) and bilinear filtering results in a "blurred" effect. The intended effect with this goal being to give the appearance that the anime was produced in 4K.
Then why limit yourself to being located in SF?

> a language that was so simple students learned all of the grammar in the first semester.

Natural languages tend to be similar in complexity, which tends to increase to the bounds placed by a child's ability to learn. Languages with simpler grammar often have eg. more complex phonetic systems. For instance, mandarin is "simple" in that it doesn't have conjugations or tenses, but it's complex in that it has tones. Likewise, Turkish has vowel harmony.

> Korean also has an extremely consistent writing system.

Not only that, but the gylphs actually represent the mouth movements necessary to make the sounds. It's like that because Hangul is a relatively new writing system that was designed with discoveries in linguistics in mind, unlike English and French that have things like vestigial spellings (eg. "through"). So I'd say that Korean would be like an up-and-coming like, uh... Rust. Of course, writing systems aren't really part of a language itself: you can write any language in IPA.

Even after 2002, I feel like the quality was fine. However, there have been huge quality issues in the past couple of years.

I seem to remember DM had at least one vegan boot around the early 2000's. The article says the "line" started in 2011, but I'm pretty sure I had a pair well before that. I think there were earlier attempts to sell a model of the vegans, and one model doesn't qualify it as a "line."

At around 2011, I started to buy vegan docs exclusively as an everyday shoe. They were amazing. One lasted about 4 years. However, my last pair which I bought in late 2017(?), didn't last eight months with both soles splitting. This current pair is a bit better (10 months now?). The sole on one is starting to split, but at least the soles is pretty worn down.
Adding a little to your wonderful post, another possibility for why the conflation of the original lisp as based on the lambda calculus is that its notation was heavily inspired by the lambda calculus, even though it was more properly a refinement of the μ-recursive functions (of form f:(N,N,...N) -> N) over the natural numbers.

While a lot of people are trying to defend the lambda calculus as a basis, I think this actually undersells the significance of LISP. Apart from Lisp the language family and its implementations, there is Lisp, (arguably) the first practically realizable mathematical model of computation. That is, it stands on its own as a model for computation†, continuing along a long line of which I think Grassmann's 1861 work on arithmetic and induction is a good starting point.

Turing Machines are intuitive and the lambda calculus is subtle and expressive, but Lisp's contribution was to place partial recursive function on a more intuitive/realizable basis in terms of simple building blocks of partial functions, predicates, conditional expressions and symbolic expressions (ordered pairs/lists of atomic symbols). Lambdas come in as a notation for functions with a modification to facilitate recursive definitions.

My guess is that you are quoting it and arguing that statement out of context. And within that context, what you wrote, even though it is a fact in its own right, is wrong according to the original post.

What I've heard is that it's very difficult to fly straight. GPS will lie to you and tell you that you're flying straight when in "reality" you're flying in a circle.

There's an (insane) explanation for absolutely everything.
Hiring a recruiter is as hard as hiring other employees... but if you need to hire a bunch of people, it could easily be a good investment.

That is a healthy attitude, good for you! Jordan Peterson's not reaching out to people who are well adjusted and who have something going on in their lives. He's presenting an alternative to resentment, the particular kind of resentment that lends all too well to scapegoating.

If you are not put upon by his ideological opponents, that's great; but many people are, and I like personal responsibility as a message a heck of a lot better than blaming a merchant class, a race, or an unfalsifiable conspiracy: the latter of which seems to be the popular alternative to a narrative of self-ownership.

The fact that you, a particularly unusual person, are not interested in his work is no indication of whether or not it is popular enough to warrant promotion by YouTube's algorithm. Because people YouTube considers similar to the natural audience of that work, will tend to watch it at length when given the choice, YouTube figures it ought to promote it. That seems like the way a recommendation engine ought to work. If not that way, then how?

Added: to sum; I think it is at least morally acceptable that YouTube has a recommendation system based largely on how much time you are likely to spend watching the content. If that content is monetized, it is not pleasant that they would prefer monetized content, but it is at least defensible. The fact that you do not like the particular content mentioned by the parent comment is neither here, nor there.
Don’t want to overgeneralize, but women seem to be more likely consumers (of things) & regular users of social media. [I’m sure niche exceptions abound]

I don’t know if anyone has run the numbers, but I’d expect ladies to more valuable on all kinds of KPIs of a good customer.

My feel is that men gravitate towards large purchases around a hobby or two (bikes, outdoors, cars, computers, video games). While women are more likely to spend in smaller amounts across a wide variety of categories.

I also may just be full of shit.

I don't feel it's ever effective to put a problem like this on individuals. When it gets down to the level of buying at the gas station, your choices are plastic, plastic or plastic, or stay thirsty. Which is not an option.

We need a feedback on our product: Eqvista – captable management
No, it is not debatable.
The kinetic energy of the human is the important part, and higher speed increases that, unlike higher mass of vehicle as you note.
http://eqvista.com

Hi Everyone,

I'm the founder of eqvista (Tomas).

We have reached over 6,000 clients at startupregistry.hk and incparadise.net, they had the same common problem. Once they set up a company, they didn't know how and where to manage their founders, investor, and employees equity (Equity Stock Option Plans). Since we know that it was the key for every entrepreneur, we have decided to:
- make sure that you onboard your company within 7minutes
- deliver a fantastic online captable experience for startups
- provide excellent equity management services.

We have a long way to go but are excited to unveil what we have achieved so far. You can already:
- Unlimited Employees, Investors, Users
- Unlimited Companies
- Easily see your cap table
- Manage Convertible Note, KISS, SAFE recording, Issue options
- Equity Plan Management
- Manage Employee Stock Options (ESO)
- Set a Vesting of ESO
- Waterfall Analysis
- Financing Rounds Modeling

We focused pretty heavily on the UI&UX. We have a lot more to come on the product side, including better analytics, to help you understand your CapTable and compliance.

We'd love to hear any and all feedback you have. We'll be looking at comments here all day, or you can email us directly at tomas[AT]eqvista.com.

If you look at the picture at

you see that what you call "fly around the earth" is simply flying some giant "circle" (perhaps not a perfect circle in the geometric sense, but you get the idea) in the Flat Earthers' model.
Pinterest has cornered the market for women who (1) are planning a wedding or (2) have a child under five in their family.

And I don't just mean brides and mothers, but everyone involved with the wedding/baby shower/birthday party planning process: bridesmaids, mothers of the bride, future mother-in-laws, aunts, grandmothers, and godmothers. And of course everyone who's paid to be involved with those events uses pinterest as well: photographers, venues, florists, event planners, designers, etc.

My gripe with pinterest (that none of my friends seem to be bothered by) is how difficult it is to source the information that's posted. Not only does it create an environment for misinformation to spread but it makes it really hard to determine whether you're purchasing from the person responsible for the beautiful photo or if you're being led to some sort of alibaba drop-shipping site.
