> Sad or not, in my experience working around gifted engineering teams it is not uncommon.

OK, so I had hoped that this was a problem unique to Google but I guess its not.

I just don't get this kind of thinking. I understand that a PhD is a good marker for intelligence... but not for ingenuity (maybe a tiny bit). I've worked with both PhD's and non PhD's... while PhD's are amazing to talk through different ideas, what may or may not work, the people I was most productive with have universally been people who get excited about technology (not saying they're mutually exclusive). Mind, not excited about fads, but those who can't wait to code a prototype to see if it really works as expected. Those who will jump in the middle of an outage and are excited to learn about what might have gone wrong.

Those are the attributes that I now look for whenever I have to make a choice between teams, between companies, whatever. The people that get excited by new designs and architectures, who love to talk through them, are the best people to work with.

I guess I do understand why Google is that way... I just hope that this kind of thinking doesn't infect other workplaces.
> It says they take long-term leases and sell short-term leases. That seems straightforward and potentially lucrative if they're adding value, making it easier to find suitable short-term office space, etc.

When times get tough the startups go back to their parent's garages or basements and don't renew their short term leases. WeWork is stuck with their long-term leases.
This is what RDMA solves. you are only limited by the amount of pcie switches you stack up in your topology, and not at all by the processor anymore. all of your data is either handled directly by the nic, or offloaded to an accelerator card. Modern systems can support about 1.6Tbps (100G NICs). When pcie 4 comes out, this should double.

If some have multiple wives, it means others have zero wives, since there wouldn't be enough females to go around.

Historically, following a war, there are too few husbands to go around. In strictly monogamous cultures, the result is that some women cannot find a husband and additionally typically have to also put up with harassment over their lack of a husband and children.

Because global warming means not just a slightly less comfortable summer season, but also rising ocean levels that displace low-lying coastal communities (to include not just island nations like Micronesia and The Maldives, but also large sections of major harbor cities like New York City, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Sydney); more violent and more frequent tropical storms and monsoons; drastic changes to crop viability in semi-arid agricultural regions such as those in California, North Africa, Yemen, and Afghanistan; increased wildfires in California and Australia; worsened air quality in and around major cities (especially megacities); acidification of our oceans; and heightened turmoil in and around arid regions with existing water and refugee crises.

I think there's a latent suggestion in your language that reducing consumption discards all of the technological social progress of the past three centuries, while climate change presents a negotiable inconvenience. The balance is quite the opposite. You can keep cellphones, the internet, food security, modern medicine, and clean, running water. If anything, many of these advances are secured, rather than threatened, by curbing human-driven climate change.

>If you want to go back to stone age, please feel free to go: I'm not retaining you.

Beyond misjudging the gravity of the problem at hand, I think this comment is also a little short-sighted in appreciating the nature of the problem and our collective responsibility for it. The choices we make as consumers, designers, and voters have impacts that affect the whole world, including populations with clear stake but no voice in those decisions. It's particularly callous to tell someone whose island will be washed away by rising sea levels that they're free to eschew any technology they want to curb ecological impact while our own emissions (by absolute value or per capita) far exceed their own contribution to atmospheric CO2 levels.
aren't you proving their point? You're tunnel visioning on a couple uncertain solutions instead of firing all ammo we have at the issue.

I avoided all red meat for decades and ended up with extremely poor health with multiple problems.

Not too long ago I saw this insane article about some author's daughter who had severe lifelong immune diseases and after years of experimentation, found that eating absolutely nothing but steaks, water, and vodka, cured all her problems. There was also commentary by nutritionists and scientists saying she was wrong and her diet would ensure certain doom.

Anyhoo, I bought a nice grill and started eating steaks every day. Red meat. Rare, barely cooked, just singed a bit. Drinking, licking up that delicious red blood left over.

All my medical problems went away. Like almost instantly. It was crazy. Absolutely crazy. I would never have believed it.

My total diet's still a bit more varied than meat and vodka though. I do a lot of vegetables as I always have still.

This says that American beef production will be upwards of 27 billion pounds this year:

https://beef2live.com/story-beef-production-year-0-107550

If American beef production went to 100% grass-fed beef, no feedlots, how much beef could be produced domestically? Do you have any sources handy?

Where I live, grass-fed beef is significantly more expensive than generic beef that presumably encountered a feedlot at some point in its lifecycle. If that is generally true, urging the public to consume grass-fed beef is also effectively urging the public to consume less beef. A universal switch to grass-fed beef would increase beef prices without increasing consumer buying power.

But it's possible that a pound of grass-fed beef is really no more costly to produce than average beef and it's just the niche status/labeling that commands higher prices. I haven't found an analysis addressing this question.
My wife tried every diet known, when she started eating Keto style and even strict carnivorous all of her stomach issues went away. Just from observing her and the kids I think there are huge benefits to not eating carbohydrates.

Some of this benefit could be related to the chemicals in the foods but every time she eats any grains or grain products she gets stomach issues

I dont have any stomach issues except I gain weight when I eat carbs. No carbs and the weight goes off.

There is more to this issue than meat vs grains IMO

BTW... does anyone have a reference to a medical study showing why the US recommended diet is recommended ?

I'm coming around to the view that treating cancer is mostly a resource allocation issue.

I'd be willing to bet if we made even more aggressive investments in finding treatments and cures, we'd be able to achieve both rapid incremental improvements and a handful of breakthroughs with the net results being a radical decline in suffering and deaths due to cancer (not to mention amazing discoveries in science for the sake of science).

It's a shame we don't do this.
Integers and polynomials with coefficients from a finite field almost the same thing. For example, the number 2019 can be expressed as 2 * 10^3 + 0 * 10^2 + 1 * 10^1 + 9 * 10^0, or 2x^3 + x^1 + 9x^0 where x=10. Number is a special case of a polynomial with a coefficients from a finite field.

They are different things really, but close enough to have much in common.

Just look at the doctype, if the intention was to continue versioning as before why did they leave the 5 out of the doctype?

>>You're relying on literal freeman-of-the-land nonsense at this point. For a judge to conclude that you-in-a-decade is a different person than you-now, the law would have to allow that possibility. Our current laws don't. Your proposed legal system would.

No, that is not how common law works. Common law holds consent as a core principle of contract law. Courts take all manner of factors into consideration in determining whether parties gave consent.

Courts will most certainly consider the genuity of the consent a person gave 10 years prior to being foribly confined and made to labor for another.

You're using ideologically extremism and bigotry with your "free man of the land" nonsense accusation, which is intended to belittle and delegitimize me, and avoid contending with my point on its own merits.

>>They need laws to rule based on.

That is not how commom law works. Commom law is based on existing statutes and legal precedent. In the absence of the former, the latter suffices. Contract law in particular is based almost exclusively on common law.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precedent

>>You try to avoid this contradiction by wrapping it up in the idea that you can be a different person in ten years, but current laws don't recognize that

The argument has never been tested in court. I'm suggesting the argument would be accepted by a court, and you've provided no reason to believe it wouldn't.

Is There Life Beyond Economic Growth?
If a university has a strong endowment, it provides assurance that the operating budget will be buffered against economic downturns. If universities did away with endowments (and did not replace them with mind-boggling amounts of insurance), it would increase the chance that professors' jobs and/or salaries would be at risk. Unlike most jobs, academic positions can last for half a century, so it is reasonable to look far into the future when assessing the desirability of a particular position.
It's the opposite. R&D is a long term investment. When a company starts a new project in a recession then the recession will be over by the time the project has been completed. When a recession coincides with the completion of a project then you can't travel back in time to undo the decision.

Recessions generally hurt companies that sell directly to consumers the most. Business to business companies are usually affected the least.

A few years ago I made a plan that I didn't even start: to use Wikipedia and Google Earth to read along Foucault's Pendulum. Now I have taken up the idea again, with the excuse of carrying a "reading book", to illustrate and anotate my reading of long-form works, for which I bought a 200-page notebook and some fine drawing markers.

I am sure that one page of Umberto Eco's book will take me hours, but my hope is to inherit the (maybe unfinished) work to my sons.
I’m always skeptical when I see counter studies to businesses that have a strong financial foothold on certain industries.

Case in point, did the meat industry have any weight in this study? Generally I feel through certain lobbying efforts theses types of industries will produce a counter study that gets enough backing to be read on the nightly news and now people go back to the way things were or are confused.

Having read the China Study, I have all the convincing I need about the role of meat in our diets and I’m fine with that.

Unprocessed Red Meat and Processed Meat: Dietary Guideline Recommendations
If you don't know what a term means, try searching for the definition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nameplate_capacity

First of all, your claim that countries aren't building new nuclear plants is factually incorrect. China, Korea, and other countries are continuing to build nuclear plants. What you really mean to say is that few Western countries are building nuclear plants, and that's primarily due to an unwillingness to build nuclear plants at any significant scale. Nuclear loses not because it is uncompetitive with solar and wind, but because it is uncompetitive with fossil fuels and because of irrational nuclear phobia that leads to intense opposition to nuclear power construction.

The levelized cost of intermittent sources may be low for the first 20-30% of electricity generation. But every country hits a wall around that figure, because there isn't any cost effective storage solution. If the levelized costs were altered to include energy storage costs to deliver power when power is in demand, intermittent sources would have terrible costs for providing power outside of its peak production time. This is why Germany, California, and every other countries that tries to use solar and wind energy ends up building the same amount of capacity with natural gas plants to fulfill peak demand. Politicians sell the dream of intermittent energy production, then turn around and build gas plants when they realize it's a fantasy.

Yea. It's always funny when people say C is faster than Fortran for scientific computing. I mean, it's true, but only for a very limited amount of people who want to do serious numeric work.
