Thank you. I've considered scenarios like that, but it is still mostly a question of finding a new owner regardless of cash at closing or financing.
I didn't say meat production was bad, I said meat production contributes to climate change.
"Disruption" gets a lot of abuse.

As it was originally proliferated in reference to tech ventures, it referred to a very specific pattern highlighted by Clay Christensen's writings out of HBS.

In classical "disruption," a product or technology that is notionally "worse," but as a result greatly cheaper or more easily distributed, takes over a market from notionally "better" but more expensive legacy approach. Often includes de-skilling of the use case too.

It's sort of like guerilla warfare in that way.

The successful recent IPOs people are pointing to in this comment section -- like Zoom, Datadog, and Cloudflare -- all tend to have a version of this classical disruption if you try and see it.

I say this not for mere pedantry but because taking "disruptive" to mean "F---ing things up (rules, laws, etc.)" dilutes a useful concept in thinking about technology adoption approaches.
Mr greed knocked their door one day, they sit down for a cup of coffee and they started to realize that everything is business and there are no ethics between companies, it's all about profit. That's what you would do and that's what I would do. Simple enough...
I wanted to point out the different "levels" between your own local git repo and GitLab/GitHub. If you're by yourself, a local git repo is great. "One step up," would be a remote git repo you push/pull to (people often use this for encrypted password repos or dotfiles). After that are things like Gitea or Gogs, which add a lightweight web interface. As you move to GitLab/GitHub you start to see features like; accounts, permissions, code search, issues, wiki, pull request, CI integration, etc.

You can use something like GitHub/GitLab for most all of these tasks, but it's a bit overkill on things like maintenance and hardware requirements if your needs aren't great.
IDK that the chess or debate teams has forced amateur status. They're def not NCAA sports, so they never had to follow NCAA rules.

But you can now expect Noah Matricciani to tell you all about AFG's new Epee mask if he so chooses. (Okay technically that's not true since this law won't take effect for 4 years and he'll have graduated, but the joke stands)
Exactly.

Beyond inertia of the traditional family model, there are real biological constraints that you can't bulldoze with calls to equality - pregnancy is taxing on the body, childbirth doubly so, the mother needs time to recover, and she's arguably the more important parent in early stages of a child's life. You can't e.g. declare equal amount of childbirth leave for both genders and call it a day.

(Though equal, paid mandatory leave for both parents would probably be fairer and also more beneficial for the child.)

I don't have first clue what the optimal, or "most fair", way of equalizing career prospects in context of childbirth is. But as you write, we can't reach it if people are pretending that the problem doesn't exist. And in context of companies, that means realizing employers aren't discriminating here out of spite or evil nature, but because there are economical considerations in play, and with them comes market pressure.
The XY problem is a terrible name, because it implies there are two levels, the one asked about and the real one. But just as in that story there can be many different levels, and it's hard to know which is the right one to attack.

Maybe the real issue is finding yak fur, or maybe its a razor, or maybe its climbing gear, or maybe its the passport. Or maybe the yak fur turns out to also just be a way to solve an even realer problem?

I moved to a ground floor place, and basically get no direct light. Sort of a shock after years of a sunny place.

I have some studio lights around for recording. Would these benefit the eye the way the sun does? I had considered using them while working for seasonal affective disorder.

It's hard to be sure but my eyes feel a little weaker since moving in.
But in fact most often old topics are revisited with slightly different approaches.

At some point AR and VR will finally provide us the overwhelming need. Then we’ll wonder why we didn’t think of it sooner.

I have said this before, and this looks like a prime spot to say it again:

But that could only ever be worthwhile in markets with very few competitors. But when there is only a low number of competitors, customers usually have better ways to form an opinion than internet reviews.

The only exceptions are cases where customers are faced with a wide range of vendors, but only tiny, well-delineated subsets are in actual competition. Restaurants serving travelers in a small town would be an example.

I see no such statement, clearly or otherwise.

It's common practice in science to produce such representative images

Maybe this is one reason why a growing number of people don't believe scientists anymore.

"Representative images" sounds like the fine print in a used car ad.
Oh no, I've been around this stuff for decades and I contribute to Wikipedia. It's the tying your self-worth and identity to it that's going to lead to unhappiness. I like contributing to Wikipedia. If I were banned, I'd just eat it and go away. It wouldn't hurt me.
> relevant for anything but bragging rights

Why do you assume bragging rights are not relevant enough?

Languages get mindshare because people see others using them to make stuff. Bragging is essential for growing languages.

People interested in rust but not particularly pixel editors, like several in this thread more interested in the graphics stack/current state of rust gui/graphics than pixel editor itself.

Guess with ease the encoding and language from any file, bytes or stream. v1.3
The benefit of a neural net and reinforcement learning is that genes don't have to encode the connections. They can instead encode the reward function(s), and some of this training can occur in the womb, this is probably why babies 'kick' while gestating.

You could imagine a hierarchy that goes something like this:

- Reward neurons that successfully transmit signal from brain to muscle fiber

- Reward neuron groups that get co-located muscle fibers to fire together.

Now the next levels can operate on muscles as a group (calf/hamstring) rather than individual fibers:

- Reward neuron groups that sense balance

- Reward neuron groups that move a muscle in response to balance output.

Believing that genes have to operate at the level of individual neuron connections to shape behavior just doesn't make sense.
It is neither feasible nor practical to collect everything that comes out of a hydrocarbon-burning ship's exhaust. We have scrubbing for some of the worst stuff, but there's plenty of stuff that isn't collected.

When you burn fuel, you get a mix of those emissions. If burning fuel results in X amount of sulfur and Y amount of CO2, you still don't want to increase the amount of X, even if 100% of it is collected, because Y will also go up and it isn't being collected.
here's a plausible fantasy, some software will include 3D-printable files describing a physical interface device, which can have some standard electronics plugged in

as long as it doesn't need to be hard realtime and infinitely reconfigurable, it's very feasible

like, imagine a game in which you hammer nails, you would 3D print a hammer, stick in an accelerometer module and mcu/battery/bluetooth module

point being, there are definitely ways to make interfaces that are now, or will become, really usable

Terrific list and additions (now my afternoon is now shot)!

While I love the more experimental hard works, I think stories such as Asimovs "Last Question", Campbell's "Twilight" and Forester's "The Machine Stops", dating back before the vacuum tube era, tended to be more memorable, more vivid and more engaging philosophically.

The title is wrong.

It should be "GDPR-compliant organisations don't use blockchain *for data protection or privacy". They might be using it for something else.

I think a lot of big companies are experimenting with those technologies.
I got my sources crossed. This [1] is where I read the 18% number. Note that the 17% quoted is for fossil fuels only - land use, water use and deforestation are not factored in. Also 85% of that 17% is for meat and dairy.

I'm guessing there's a mix of "it's hard to tell bad news" and "it's hard to hear bad news".

If those two factors are strong (say, cultural reasons), a lot of red flags can fall by the wayside.
Hands-in-air interactions in VR I agree lack the tactile feedback necessary to avoid it feeling hollow. However, I've often advocated that the "ideal" VR input system in 2019 is:

- Freely tracked dominant hand, used for fine-grained control/pointing, expressing body language, and grab/release-like mechanics (which work decently for certain kinds of virtual objects/interactions, like throwing stuff)

- Tracked 6dof controller in non-dominant hand, similar to the existing controllers except with a fully capable twiddler-like button grid for doing fast symbolic entry.

For anything where tactile feedback is core, move it onto the controller hand, where the hardware buttons can provide a more reasonable proxy for things like press-and-release or sustained-holding in terms of motor interactions. (Haptics are still pretty bad on all other accounts, but controllers at least give you pressure feedback under your finger tips, instantaneous response, etc.)

With the above setup, I suspect you could perform most knowledge worker oriented tasks with similar efficiency to a mouse and keyboard, and also perform existing VR-centric use cases like 3d modelling/manipulation, avatar locomotion, full body social interaction, etc. The current two-controller or dual hand-tracked paradigms fall short on the former.

With the introduction of hand tracking capabilities on Quest coming, it seems that we're inching up to mainstream VR devices having the capability to deliver this, except the controllers still lack anything close to keyboard-level discrete inputs. However, once Quest hand tracking launches, it may be possible to use an off-the-shelf twiddler for this if the SDK exposes the ability to track in-hand tools (similar to the Leap Motion SDK.)
Or those who care more about the game than about winning. Which, in war, is only the case for the side that's so sure of its victory it doesn't matter whether they cheat or not, so they can play the virtuous party for good internal and external PR.

Point taken, but my main point is about people harping on activities that account for only a few percent while not even mentioning activities that account for large double digit percentages of emissions. To lead with air travel while not even mentioning coal is bizarre.
You are making it harder than it is. You can't pump any oil overboard anywhere, well above about 1 ppm if I remember correctly. In the industry you hear all the time about magic pipes being found during port state control and other inspections leading to extremely high fines and prison time. For reference, a magic pipe bypasses the oil separator making you able to discharge anything.

Simply add another annex to MARPOL regarding discharge of sulfur and the industry will follow, penalties for breaking MARPOL are usually personal and not on the shipping company. Though, as always with the maritime industry the international manner makes any change slow.

People say: "I'll just block it in my hosts file"

With DNS over HTTPS you can't. You can't even intercept DNS and reroute it to your own DNS server.

Suppose a device, let's say a RoKu (or many other) wants to use a DNS that you cannot block, it could use Google's DNS over HTTPS to a private name server of its choosing. Your DNS, and your hosts file doesn't matter. This makes it significantly harder to block anything (probably ads, but not necessarily only ads).

You could try to intercept these requests, but how do you know an HTTPS request is for DNS? And for what name it is being requested?

Taken further, a device, say an Apple TV, hypothetically, could even use a proprietary DNS protocol to talk to its own mother ship.
> These are amateurs, by definition.

They are unpaid workers providing economic benefit to their employer, the same way that has been federally outlawed most of the other places it was practiced (often also with students) when the rules on unpaid internships were tightened down.

They are amateurs only by circular definition: the trade association of their employers prohibits paying them, so they aren't paid, so they are “amateurs”. Using that as an argument to continue not paying them is ludicrous on it's face.
It's so bad that you can build multi billion dollar businesses with it
That only applies to the NCAA if the NCAA continues to operate in California. If they decide that their current rules are more important than the participation of California schools, they can leave the state and prevent their member schools from playing in California or with teams from California and avoid California's legal jurisdiction.

There is a remarkable difference between being a strong individual contributor and a team leader. Organizations sort of need both, but being good at one doesn't make you good at the other.

I hired a guy like this, and he was extremely useful. However, he did do some outrageous things. For instance, he was learning Kotlin, and decided to do one his projects in Kotlin without so much as an approval from me or even discussing amongst his peers (which I do delegate most of the tech decisions to those in the trenches). Shocked, I had a one-on-one in which he told me we were falling behind. I reminded him our number one focus is to support the salesfloor in the company, and that our stack is "boring" on purpose because of stability and predictability. I had him work long hours to rewrite the project in the correct stack so it could be supported by the whole department, not just him.

Eventually he left, which I wasn't terribly upset by, and he went to work for a startup which I think better fit his personality and skillset. I keep up with him on linked in and it seems he's continued to surf between startups and making a decent living doing so. I think he's much happier doing this, because having a structure did not suit him.
>My preference would be for a world where college athletes were genuinely student-athletes: held to the same academic standards as other students while genuinely acting as amateur athletes.

For the most part, that IS the case. Big 5 schools make up only a tiny fraction of student athletes.

My experience with student athletes was that they had in general, above average academics compared to the rest of the students in their department, which included my engineering department. Granted, this wasn't at a big 5 school or anything, but I'd predict roughly the same there on average as it reflects personality traits correlated with success: i.e. to be successful in college athletics, it usually takes strong social skills, self-motivation, discipline, and consistency. These things tend to carry over to other endeavors. There's also additional motivation among athletes to maintain a sufficiently high GPA to keep their scholarships/financial aid.
I think AI systems should each have its own talent. I believe that a robot that can detect a fire and a fire only can be assumed to be talented in that. It is complete. Its just that AI scientists are not satisfied with what they have already achieved

I'm about a third of the way through Daemon by Daniel Suarez, and enjoying it immensely. Nothing has made me cringe yet.

Unlike Frederick Forsyth's "The Fox", which I had to put down after about three chapters, as it appears he used a 16yo BTEC ICT student as his tech expert.

As others have commented, Cryptonomicon is one of my favorite books, as is most of the Stephenson catalogue. He certainly know how to set up mind blowing worlds, plots and characters, even if he tends to leave the reader a little unfulfilled when the story abruptly ends.

Identical twins share a womb, and therefore even if you separate them at birth have already been subjected to identical "nurture" for ~9 months.

Let's say you had four, all identical, split into two groups ran in parallel simulations. Two in the same womb then split at birth, the other two split at conception implanted in two separate mothers. Of the two borne to separate mothers, one mother is heavily stressed, chronically exposes the fetus to cortisol, while the other is very stable.

When looking at outcomes between these pairs, how do you account for the difference in nature vs nurture when almost all of our twin studies rely on a shared womb, shared first 9 months of nurture?
This is true, but despite this, depending on what writing style or audience you're targeting, singular "they" may still be considered incorrect.

Also if you're in the US, the use of singular "they" can be intertwined with certain politics and legislature, but that only matters for legal documents and government publications.

For casual speech, though, singular "they" is certainly correct and widely used.
>It was one of the most spectacular business failures of the last few decades, losing $4.5 billion in value.

How quaint. In 2019, tech companies burn through billions of dollars of capital every single year, and we call them business "successes".

When I was in University I witnessed a strange sight: Half the student council running through the building, sitting down in a corner and holding a quick vote. The odd behavior was so that they could have a quorum without certain undesirable people who would vote the wrong way.

The common thread with these underhanded tactics is people feel the ends justify the means. The ones doing it for profit are far less scary to me than those doing it “for the global good”.
I thought forests were carbon neutral, at least if the trees are allowed to rot. Is there a plan to remove the dead trees so this doesn't happen? Even if you turn it into lumber and make buildings with it, eventually it tends to rot or burn.
