Levandowski is also responsible for perhaps the first incident of Google’s self-driving car causing a freeway crash, and he circulated a video of it to the team:

Levandowski wasn’t the only Chauffeur engineer to collect gobs of cash and run. The founders of Nuro headed out with $40m each. Chris Urmson and Bryan Salesky now run dueling start-ups.

What does accountability at Google even look like? Is it just too daunting to stand up and raise a flag?

In my case I am an endurance athlete, so at minimum supplementing electrolytes is helpful (also during the fast electrolyte supplements have at least seemed beneficial to my experience). Also, most American's are low on Vitamin D, and trust me I prefer it from the sun myself, but currently Im an office worker, so I supplement that.

Anecdotally, I can tell you that historically I used to get sick 2-3 times a year minimum, and since I began taking vitamins 5 years ago I got sick 1 time.

But I do generally agree with you about vitamins and minerals coming from diet over supplements, but I also say if you can get all your vitamins and minerals from food, your just not running enough (thats a joke).

I've always thought Trigonometry is taught poorly in our high schools.

For a small competition when I was 14, I worked on a hand rolled CMS system in PHP, MySQL. I remember trying to determine what RSS was and Atom, what it all meant. I thought it was cool and a handy feature I could hook into that little RSS app I found on Kubuntu.

Didn't win the competition, but expanded it over a few years and kept using it as my main blog until it fell aside when I went to university.

But unfortunately since the death of Google Reader, RSS hasn't found a way back into my life.
I don't think there is one smoking gun for a chemical in food.

To me, I see a clear pattern. Reducing nutrition to consuming more of a specific chemical/molecule or consuming less of a specific chemical/molecule is always way more complicated than that. The best way to get the complicated combination/form of chemicals is to just eat as low on the food chain as possible in a minimally altered form.

Naturally occurring sugar in plants, say an orange, or rice, is good for you. Extracting sugar doesn't ever seem necessary for the American diet. The oil in a nut is good for you, extracting oil and using it to cook doesn't ever seem necessary for the American diet.

So I don't think it is controversial to say eating plans is good for you, especially say broccoli for your inflammation. The more broccoli you eat, the healthier you are; its really simple.

The second part of what I said, to try to eat low on the food chain is more controversial. But as soon as you combine that rice with meat, that sugar starts interacting in new more complicated ways and the it is no longer as simple as, the more rice you eat the healthier you are. It becomes, if you combine it with meat you have to limit the amount of rice you eat because together they spike your blood sugar level [0] study, image of that spike [1]. And I rarely hear, "the more meat you eat, the healthier you are".

So to me it seems like you can try to walk a tight-rope of eating the right amounts of the right processed and meat foods, or you can just eat things that generally make you healthier when you eat more of it.

That is a simple baseline that you adjust based on atypical differences you have, celiac disease, etc.

This unfairly penalizes students whose parents recently came into money. Early education is important, and it is unfortunately often the case that parents who work hard to become successful financially don't have as much time and energy to put into their children. Such children may be disadvantaged during critical years and now have the additional challenge of being penalized for their parents now being wealthy.
After adding RSS support to my blog, I noticed that it was part of an easy way to implement a backup and restore mechanism.
You're talking about the loss of solar energy, which all life derives from. That has nothing to do with caloric energy and nutrients derived from food. I get that plants have the largest biomass on the planet and animals syphon off a tiny fraction of their energy, but a hunter-gatherer doesn't give a damn about the trophic equation. Isn't even aware such a thing exists.

This article is false. The Navajo / Clovis Indians never stopped eating meat. They continued to hunt and they raised lamb and goats. Mutton formed a staple of their diet, along with fried bread and goat milk. Clothing was formed from deer skin and yucca fiber. Note, they hunted the deer. And note, they ate the deer. They also ate the yucca, but it wasn't all they ate.

https://navajopeople.org/navajo-food.htm

"The people in this area responded in an interesting way: by focusing much more on gathering, and less on hunting. We know this from their improved tools for processing plants, especially yucca roots."

Just because they improved tools for eating yucca doesn't mean they stopped hunting. Presumably, all of their tools improved, including hunting tools.

They also raised lamb and sheep. I've been to the Taos Pueblo near there, it's 1000 years old and it has a large meat rack centered in the village, for drying meat out for jerky and pemmican.

The caloric density of meat and protein / fat content is much, much higher than found in vegetables...especially wild vegetables.

And no, we don't have the same gut bacteria or digestive tracks as livestock. Sheep, goats, and cows all have four chambered stomachs and are ruminants. They have trillions of microbes in their stomach to process grass and break down cellulose. They also have a digestive tract that is 27 times longer their bodies versus a human's 3 or 4 times length. We couldn't digest grass like them if we tried. Plant foods are much harder to process than animal foods, because of cellulose. The human gut length ratio is similar to an obligate predator like cats.
Can you explain more about why they don't make sense?

My understanding is that they're extremely desirable. They're a drop-in replacement for millions of hydrocarbon plants. They can scale up/down with demand. They produce enormous amounts of energy and emit no C02.

Think of the materials and industrial waste to produce 1 nuclear power plant versus all of the battery, solar cells, and turbines to equal the same in power and scalability.

Besides, why do the technologies need to be exclusive? Shouldn't we be using them all where it makes sense?
No zoning doesn't mean it's cheaper. There's zero evidence to support that prices magically go down because zoning laws go away. The only thing that will decrease cost is more supply or less demand. Zoning laws should be made more sensible to allow for combined work and living spaces. Transit systems should be prioritized, but otherwise if housing is to expensive move further away. I commuted for almost 10 years almost an hour to get a house I could afford. Now that my career is more established we were able to move into a closer house. That's simple arbitrage. City prices are always going to be way more expensive than suburbs. Better punished transportation and slowly removing the parking requirements will solve the problem long term. It's a simple solution.

"I'm personally very skeptical [as well]. I notice that almost nobody that recounts their fasting experience ever mentions sport."

Allow me to step right up.

First, as you might expect, aerobic and endurance exercise benefits greatly from being in a fasted (16-24 hr) state. You're light, quick and your body is devoting zero blood flow (and other resources) to digestion. I suspect you're not surprised by this.

Second, I do a 1.5 hour heavy leg workout which includes squats, deadlifts and other assorted "big" movements with weight that is significant, compared to my body weight. No issues at all. I wouldn't do this on a 24 hour fast, but it is my regular habit to do this workout while in a 16-18 hour fasted state and in general I have very slightly better results than if I had eaten recently. Again, the issue is the amount of blood flow (and other resources) your body is putting into digestion.

Finally, while it is easy and enjoyable to do my BJJ workouts in a fasted state, I cannot, then, do several rounds of sparring at the end without more recent calories. Or rather, I can but I after round one or two I am running out of gas.

YMMV. You should just try it. It costs nothing.
That sounds exactly like "pulling a Levandowski."

But also, no, because I have a simple rule: Don't store personal data on company property (including logins/session cookies). When I leave every night, if I never got access to that PC again it shouldn't matter.

I do occasionally log into public websites using personal credentials.

I remember back in school, for some purposes, there was definitely a serendipitous aspect to finding related books in open stacks that were near the one you went to find. However, this was back when you were mostly limited to a physical card catalog as a search tool.

I don't do a lot of research (that a library is useful for) these days and what there is is mostly in journals and the like. But, in general, I find that with electronic searches of library catalogs it's probably less important to discover things accidentally by physical proximity. (And a lot of big libraries aren't/weren't open stacks anyway.)
Okay, thank you.

Is there any way to mitigate this if one wants to keep Wifi and Bluetooth?

I guess if one really wanted to be pure then, they could just keep the second (of three, see below) hardware switches off, and even possibly de-solder a connection, to ensure they aren't accidently flipped on.

Hardware Switches:

- cameras and microphone

- WiFi and Bluetooth

- cellular baseband

(When all three switches are off, power is also killed to sensors a la "Lockdown Mode")

While it's true that RSS has died, I'm using it more than I ever did when Google Reader was around. Many people are using Feedbin or mobile RSS readers. I've been idly working on my own RSS reader that actually answers some of your concerns. It doesn't excerpt blogs, but just gives me an overview of what's happening out there: https://www.kickscondor.com/images/fraidycat-aug2019.jpg

My problem isn't a business issue - it's that I find news feeds chaotic and want to read blogs directly - with their design and layout, focusing on the writer directly, rather than amid a pile of distractions. (To me, even Google Reader had that problem.) But I think it's cool that our separate concerns are both answered if RSS is used for notification rather than for syndication. RSS notifies my reader tool and then I can see an overview of what's happening out there when I make time to read.

I don't think we've quite explored the possibilities that RSS opened for us.

Personally speaking, the biggest specter for time anxiety is age-related cognitive decline. Unfortunately it happens much earlier than most people think. Especially with regards to both creativity and fluid intelligence.

Tech entrepreneurs are disproportionately clustered at 20-34. The probability of making a major scientific discovery starts declining at 40. Poets peak in their early 40s, and novelists not much longer after that. Mathematicians and physicists may on average peak as early as their late 20s.

Anyway as someone in their mid-30s, who would still like to accomplish a lot more than what I have so far, this has been bothering me a lot lately. I'm happy to hear any perspective that others have here.

Sorry for the very belated response. I'm also from England, and I have a number of American colleagues who live and work in the UK and strongly prefer the NHS (with all its drawbacks) to the American system of healthcare. So I'm surprised to hear your opinion.
You could cite many powerful politicians and heads of state as far more unethical and impactful than AirBnB or Uber.

>to justify abusive behavior towards customers

I guess you never used taxis before Uber was invented! The whole industry has been a huge racket for decades.

>Redlining is illegal, and this is straight-up fraud.

I guess you were never black and trying to get a taxi in NYC to go to the Bronx. There were countless complaints from black people about this practice with the cabs.

Basically, while your complaints are justified, though they definitely seem like cherry-picking the worst horror stories, the situation wasn't actually any better before these services existed. People didn't have any recourse when cab drivers treated them poorly, or made up bogus fares, turned off the taximeter and made up numbers, drove them around in circles to make more money, etc. It didn't matter that the drivers were technically employees; the cab companies had an oligopoly enforced by law, and didn't have to worry about customer service or reputation. And there certainly was no way for customers to inform each other about lousy drivers.

The real problem here is a lack of decent government regulation, and worse, when the (local) government does try to regulate, it just results in cronyism and high prices rather than better service and experience for the taxpayer.

I'll also point out that Uber doesn't have much presence in Japan, because their taxi drivers are actually highly professional and aren't a bunch of lying crooks like the ones in America, so people don't feel the need to flock to it. The fundamental problem is obviously the culture and the people in America, and that's why Uber is successful there.
The bigger question I think is would it increase hate? This is not something easily measured, imo.

But if we're that worried about even something as minor as lefties, should we not release products either? How are people on phones all the time perceived? If I release a tanning product, should I be concerned about how tanning users are perceived? If I engineer kids with longer hair, am I concerned how they are perceived?

I think we run the risk of anything being hate-able, and thus nothing matters in that regard. Or at least, roughly speaking. Any big change has potentially huge and unknown societal consequences. I mean hell, people were freaking out about a McDonalds McNugget sauce a year ago over a TV Show. I'm not sure the worst of humanity is what we need to nix life saving medical procedures over.

Blocking is itself a communications channel. You have some data to exfiltrate from extension to server. The page embeds a bunch of URLs to your ad server, you selectively block based on the data to exfiltrate, the server gets 1 bit per URL.

Any additional blocking capabilities (reordering, delaying, selective header stripping) increase the number of bits.
