Imho, The long term goals may be similar to what "normal" companies may have. Cooperatives are just means to an end but generally one may achieve lofty ambitions in any type of organization. The document sums up very nicely the pros and cons of cooperative targeting freelancers. The only thing one has to decide is wether one will reach sustainability in a normal company or in a cooperative - the journeys are two different wild adventures.

But how does the wavefunction become narrow and sharp "due to measurement?" That's the crux; that's what the measurement problem is.

Making a wavefunction "narrow and sharp" means projecting it onto an eigenvector of your measurement basis (e.g. "spin up.") Projection is non-unitary and irreversible. Whether and how this can be achieved via the Schrodinger equation is what all the fuss is about.
I'd say Agile development is about "agorisation" of the development process. "Agorisation" is the act of making a place (virtual or not) amenable to proposing, discussing, and setting up and in motion categories that will enhance this development process in both qualitative and quantitative aspects, such that agents who collaborate into it can live through this process like a citizen through the city.

category (n.)

1580s, in Aristotle's logic, "a highest notion," from Middle French catégorie, from Late Latin categoria, from Greek kategoria "accusation, prediction, category," verbal noun from kategorein "to speak against; to accuse, assert, predicate," from kata "down to" (or perhaps "against;" see cata-) + agoreuein "to harangue, to declaim (in the assembly)," from agora "public assembly" (from PIE root *ger- "to gather").

Ask HN: How comfortable do you feel using cloud-based password managers?
Even though cloud based password managers have been around for a long time now, I never felt comfortable using them - the idea of handing over my important login details to some third party company seemed really weird to me. Most people might not care but the HN crowd are generally security conscious or say paranoid about security(for good reasons). But from password managers related threads, its apparent that many of you use them. So I wanted to get a general idea of how HN users feel about them.

I remember when the 3 of SpaceX rockets were doing the concurrent landing (2 at land, 1 at sea), the sea platform link had "a problem" and went down. Then miraculously once the situation was assessed another video surfaced from a nearby camera some time later and we saw that the rocket tilted and fell at sea.

With that said I hope all (peace driven) space exploration efforts go well and we end up with a Star Trek TNG society in 300-400 years.
In my humble experience it can be either. Case in point - the adoption of disinfecting of tools and hands before surgery in 189x-s.
Acording to this historian it was pretty awful: https://www.amazon.com/Fall-Rome-End-Civilization/dp/0192807...

"The book recaptures the drama and violence of the last days of the Roman world, and reminds us of the very real terrors of barbarian occupation. Equally important, Ward-Perkins contends that a key problem with the new way of looking at the end of the ancient world is that all difficulty and awkwardness is smoothed out into a steady and positive transformation of society. Nothing ever goes badly wrong in this vision of the past. The evidence shows otherwise."

We've seen how this looks like in modern times with the fall and decline of the Soviet Union. The US could end up similarly in the future: invading countries under flimsy pretexts, assassinating opponents, politics utterly corrupted by money, trying to bully other countries into submission, etc.
> It is the interaction of productivity and inequality that makes societies vulnerable to idle unemployment. The poor in technologically primitive societies hustle to live. In relatively equal, technologically advanced societies, people create plenty of demand for one another’s services.

There is a shortage...sort of...there is a very limited quota of Medical Resident spots opened up by various AMA medical boards (read: cartel.) There are a line of aspiring physicians, but they can only practice as board certified specialists if the boards open up seats, and there is a forced constrained supply (probably to increase wages for those inside the club.)

It's similarly capped in the UK. Upper middle class always knows how to protect their wages, only programmers want voluntarily more people competing for their wages. It's so welcoming field. Also it costs tons, can't compare it with America but compared to other fields. Hence they import doctors when there are shortages.
And they actively prevent nurse practitioners and nurses from performing many functions they're perfectly capable of doing.

There is a huge burnout process going on. I see so many doctors try to make a business on shark tank/dragons den work or they try to become media personalities.

Note that you are wrong, it doesn't become classical mechanics for small sharp wave functions. It has similar movement, but the wave function would also thin out until it is smoothed out over the entire universe. We all know particles doesn't do that, hence schrödinger equation alone isn't enough to explain observations about classical mechanics.
Treating “all the types we happened to see at runtime” as “all the types allowed” automatically is I think what they meant as “risky”.

MonkeyType seems to record the answers and then let you decide (via apply) if you want to agree. I’m a little surprised more people didn’t use this approach, but it probably makes for fairly clumsy type sets that the human is better off saying “Eh, I’ll just document it correctly”.

> The 8 years could be streamlined but it's setup to weed out many and tire out the remaining.

Undergraduate medical education in Europe is commonly five or six years so yes, it could really be streamlined. If summers weren’t taken off you could fit medical school into four years. “Weed our and tire out” makes it sound like there are people who drop out of medical school when it barely happens at all.
To give an idea of how little oxygen there is where these geese fly, consider that the rule of thumb is a loss of 1 inch of mercury (an outdated unit, I know) for every thousand feet of altitude gained. Obviously this rule of thumb gets less accurate at high altitudes, but it’s not supposed to be perfect. The “standard” sea level pressure is 29.92 inches of mercury, so at 26k feet you’ve lost about 87% of the air pressure, and thus 87% of your oxygen. That’s crazy, this is the kind of altitude that kills humans without supplemental oxygen, and these geese not only survive, they can fly under their own power for quite a while.

Maybe so, but they had good reason to. Epstein by that point had already been convicted on the sex offender charge. And then he was going around accompanied by young European women, and there's nothing suspicious about that? Come on.

Almost no economy in any context, developed, developing, self-reliant, dependent ever has everyone happy with how public funds are spent. It typically falls on the arts, or defence (different opponents) but can hit science and industry funding too.

The belief that the funds were ever going to be targeted to relieving poverty is unjustified. Not unreasonable, and not without some basis in need: The simple observation that the source of funds is not actually tasked with that goal, and the nature of state funding admits that money can (and will) be spent to goals other than those somebody, somewhere wants.

The exception to the rule is "hypothicated" taxes. In Australia, our medibank levy is fully hypothicated to funding public health, and cannot (by law) be used any other way.

TL;DR Indian poverty was never going to be alleviated by the money spent on this project. The money simply wouldn't have been applied to that purpose, had it not been spent on this mission.

second TL;DR The same can be said for any NASA or like activity.

I have used 1password. I only moved to Bitwarden because I decided that if the PM was going to demand cloud backing I might as well pay cloud cost to an open-source entity. 1password is faster.

I used to use rsync (bittorrent-sync) to keep my own hosts up to date against each other. This was painful to manage so I accepted the bitwarden cloud model.

The risks are there, for sure. If you doubt the crypto behind your keystore, where it is should worry you little because how insecure it is should not be about where it is: its about how its shrouded, and how what is shrouded can be revealed.

My belief in the shroud protecting my secrets is my belief in their ability to code to the spec. it wasn't founded in my use of a private filestore to back the keystore, although I did, and I prefer private files, to private cloud files, to cloud files hosted by some intermediary, to public cloud.

Bitwarden is a private cloud file, hosted by some intermediary. The risk here is twofold: the intermediary is broken and its persisting filestore is readable, and bitwarden is broken and its interior private view becomes visible.

My best belief is that no part of my interactions depend on bitwarden knowing the interior state of my keys, they only handle shrouded data, and either I run apps which decode locally, or I run javascript which decodes locally, but I do not expect or believe any transit of the un-shrouded state of my data routinely has to flow through their hands. And the persistence of that belief is because they say the limits to how they can help recover my keystore, if I lose critical information. if they are truthful here, they cannot help me if I lose the escrow passphrase, because nothing they hold is the decrypt of my shroud. I have to give permission to de-shroud there side, the protecting key. its otherwise only used locally to me. (if somebody breaks the .js code, then the filestore being in the cloud is irrelevant)

1Password made the same kinds of commitment to me. As do LastPass and a number of other people. They all have to be comparable in this regard because its the fundamental business model.

At one stage, there was some leakage in the model for some keystores. The file names un-necessarily encoded revealing parts of the URLs they related to. I think thats changed now. It was scary. I had assumed everything was shrouded, it turned out for some period of time, only passwords and identity inside the URL had been fully protected. They changed that. I think it was 1password, it might have been lastpass. It wasn't bitwarden because I moved to them earlier this year and that was 2-3 years ago or more.

If I have misunderstood and sometimes my data is visible to them in clear, on their machines, I'd love to know.
