Maybe 'hatred' is too broad, but surely it's not hard to see that people are likely to be uncomfortable to share their opinion in front of people who disagree that they should have an equal voice merely for being who they are.

All of this is made up nonsense. Only 14 radioactive fission product isotopes end up in the final waste form, and they are in an inert oxide form. Their decay chains are short and hardly change the chemistry, if anything, it becomes more stable. They also don't produce gasses, much less radioactive ones.

The only kernel of truth is that __if__ you throw out fuel instead of waste, then you get a heat problem over the long term and the container is irradiated by alpha particles. It won't melt, but it might corrode. But why would you throw away fuel?

Like, this seems to be empirically false. We can see this from the changes around 1980 (Reagan/Thatcher). We have seen that wealth concentration has increased, as have asset prices, whereas entreprenuership has not, and neither has small business creation.
Interesting. I've never considered Perl's name to be its biggest problem. The readability is and renaming the language does not address that.
Hmmm... I both agree and disagree. While humans program the general strategy, and even the bugs they didn't think they were adding, there is a substantial difference: computers can and will act in such a completely stupid way as to be obviously stupid to even the most uninformed human.

What I fear the most is a silly bug causing a crash in a way no manually triggered series of trades would.
We use Regus in NY and LA. 4 and 10 person offices, changing daily or weekly depending on where the sales team is meeting. Works great for us. Everything is clean and it's always quiet. Kitchens are well sized and stocked. We know the reception staff in each location and they do everything we ask.

WeWork was much more expensive and a much noisier and busy environment, especially if you don't get your own dedicated office space, and if you're going to do that then major cities all have tons of subleases which are much more attractive.

RFID is the same as a barcode, just that you don't need an optical reader (or line of sight, even). Did you mean NFC with some signature scheme, or did you mean a unique code like a barcode or RFID to track an item individually?
It is quite logical, the night is much longer and we used to depend on the light cycle. Also many animals hibernate in the winter, we just sleep a bit more, it is an adaptation to environmental conditions: less light, less food, movement in lower temperatures require more energy, sleep conserves energy.

In my country we have a bit less than 9 hours of light in December and over 15 hours in June, we continuously adjust for it.
Seriously, though, don't release on Friday. No matter how good your CI/CD pipeline is, and how confident you are in your testing, you'll let some bad releases through, and if you release on Friday, some poor bastard, whether you or your coworker, is going to be left holding the bag, and have their weekend ruined scrambling around to fix what is broken.

It's just inconsiderate. Things can wait until Monday.

There are trade-offs to everything, and a lot depends on a deal you have with your vendors. But if anything, it's the vendors that are the actual "torpedo in the hull" - a foreign body in your system, that you have very little control over and that can explode at any moment, leaving you with a vendor-shaped hole in your company. It's manageable when the third party is a commodity vendor - you can replace your printing house or blog host every other week at almost no noticeable difference. But in the world of software services, everyone is doing their damnest to not be a commodity, to make themselves unique. That uniqueness means a larger hole when they go down (or get acquihired), and also stronger ability to extract money from you. A codebase you own won't one day tell you that, starting next year, they're discontinuing the service package that was critical to your business, and now you have to buy two separate service packages plus a custom integration fee just to retain the functionality you grew dependent on.

I'm guessing probably none today. The smartphone business is heavily commodified at this point and there is no "basic components" that be made exclusively only in China. As I noted earlier in my comment, there are over 200 suppliers and subcontractors who set up shops and make basic parts for Samsung in Vietnam. Further, none of the "key" components such as AP, memory, storage, wireless radio, display, or glass, is made in China. Lastly, considering South Korea's recent brouhaha over THAAD, no South Korean company wants any further economic risk from political conflict with China and have been severing their dependency on Chinese suppliers last two years.

Can you provide some details on that lamp, especially power consumption? It seems an interesting experiment that I would like to try.
I think you're missing the other element: continued access to fuel and energy sources.

Before the switch to coal, wood was the primary thermal energy souce for humans (well, after direct passive solar heat). By the 19th century, and in many parts of the world, centuries or millennia prior, woodfuel burning, directly and as charcoal for kilns and smelters, had deforested vast parts of the globe, transforming many formerly forested parts of the world to desert or scrub (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Lebanon, Greece, Italy).

We have the dual problems of 1) replacing coal, oil, and natural gas, and 2) removing CO2 from the atmosphere and oceans.

Burning wood accomplishes #1, but not #2.

There's the additional slight problem that the scale of present energy consumption, let alone increases which would bring another 5-8 billions of souls up to modern European or US standards of living, largely defined by per-capita energy consumption, greatly exceeds total available biomass production in total, not merely wood growth.

I find it easier to select what companies not to buy. It's hard to do it cost effectively and with low risk. Short selling or put options is not the answer.

Idea for a new fund directed at retail investors:

S&P 520 index fund. It's basically just low cost S&P 500 index fund, except that the index tracks 520 largest companies listed and individual investors can remove any 20 companies from their index. If you don't know what to drop, the fund managers drop the 20 smallest and the index becomes S&P 500.

The catch is how to implement this strategy with low cost. In practice the fund as a whole would take input from every fund owner at the time they do rebalancing. Then they would adjust the ownership of the fund based on how the investor performs relative to the whole fund in the next rebalancing. How to implement this may be tricky.

One possibly interesting consequence of this is that companies that want to optimize their stock value may now try and find what factors the financial algorithms are looking for and optimize their business based on that. Might be an opportunity for some creative upper management people?
Is this .. bad?

> FIFTY YEARS ago investing was a distinctly human affair. “People would have to take each other out, and dealers would entertain fund managers, and no one would know what the prices were,”

Was this, on the other hand, good?

If we take the doctrine that a market is a system for transforming information into decisions through the medium of prices (see e.g. Red Plenty), then using an increasingly sophisticated information system to do it seems only right and natural? And that it should reduce overheads of fund management?

(As an aside, that initial-cap "F" looks really nice and is a neat bit of CSS)
I am aware that China has had no qualms to rig the game in its favor so far.
Those measures would take it up on a whole new level though. I'm just not sure how many companies will be willing to abide by having almost all the data from their operations in China available to the government, unless they don't have other viable options, even though these might be a lot more expensive.
Yes. Also, "I base my understanding of the product on the bullshit some other sales team wrote for the company page two pivots ago" trick. Or, "a thousand or a billion, it's all the same, who counts all these zeros (and what's that 'scalability' word you keep using?)" move.

I agree with that it's always people at the top, however it doesn't imply that there's always one person who made the decision. Collective decisions exist too. And even looking at individual decision, not all decisions are taken through careful conscious means.

Plus, deciding to delegate decisions (to algorithms or anything else) is not the same as deciding through your very own direct perspective.

Tartine is a great book that will make you hate every almost perfect loaf that you bake. It's well written and well photographed, though it can be difficult to follow at times. Although Chad goes to an effort to explain how the recipe can adapt to any schedule, it's still a huge amount of effort - you start on Friday night and don't get a loaf until Sunday.

It's also very difficult the first time you work with such high hydration doughs, and I would suggest watching:

Thankfully climate scientists don't just eyeball a single graph. And as a matter of fact, you conflate two things, one is that we know that now industrial emission is the cause for global warming and the other is, that in the past warming has lead to the release of CO2. These are two different things, and taken together only implies a positive feedback loop.

On the second question, the problem with global warming is, that everybody talks about the weather, and all our systems are well adapted to the current climate. Concretely, there are farmers at the edge of the Sahara, who are adapted to a semi-arid conditions, and when the Sahara moves south, then they have to deal with desert conditions. Similar, when the Great Barrier Reef moves south, then there are dive centers without a reef north of the new location.

So we will have to adapt to a warmer climate anyhow, but not cutting down emissions is an entirely unforced error, it makes global warming worse, without any concrete benefit. Cutting down emissions is precisely the "smaller fallout of manmade climate change" you are arguing for.
You're misinterpreting the OP, he's saying that some people do non computer things after 5, not that they work 80 hour weeks. And it's not really the time spent, it's the intellectual approach to computing, where tinkering is an end in itself, vs a more transactional approach.
Many of them can't just extricate themselves from the Chinese market before these changes hit. They will take huge losses if they disrupt communications or restrict access to trade secrets.

There's different types of plutonium that's made. Bombs are made from Pu-239. But reactors will normally produce Pu-240 as well, unless you specifically design your reactor and fuel it appropriately to produce mostly Pu-239.

So what's the difference? Pu-240 is hot. It's too radioactive to make bombs out of, because you'll end up cooking your workers. And because it's so similar in weight to Pu-239, you can't effectively separate it out.
I agree - it is far better to have computers do it than run the market at "the clock speed of a babushka at a market stall" as Francis Spufford put it.

I think the law is closer to "government agencies may access any of the company's information".
I'm not quite clear what "this change" is or means.

As far as I know, VPNs had been illegal in China before, so maybe this could be mainly a toughening of the laws, and it still depends on the government's discretion to actually use the data, or to crack down on VPNs?

In such regimes it can be a huge problem to find out what laws to take seriously and which ones not. And it often isn't as easy as taking all the laws seriously, because then nothing works either...

Totally. I wonder if the wrong people at Apple and/or Google drank their own cool aid. Maybe they truly believe that the majority of their users wait for the next OS version with baited breath, ready and willing to incorporate whatever new features/apps the update force-feeds them into their "digital lifestyle", and truly learning and savoring all the new UX-mechanisms and redesigns they're handed. From the way these things are presented, it seems that they truly believe this. And some years ago there were many users like this.

These days, most people I know, both on the iOS and Android side of things, approach updates with a resigned sigh of "what are they going to make me relearn for no reason this time?" with a healthy pinch of "man I hope this doesn't break anything." If Apple/Google owned up to this reality, maybe the updates would be smoother.

Or do both. Let's make the world less hostile to live in for billions of people, whilst also providing technology & resources for them to survive.

About your graph: historical global temperature changes are not the same as anthropomorphic global temperature changes. Past periods of high CO2 do not contradict the notion that CO2 leads to higher global temperatures. Indeed, it confirms that there is a strong relationship between the two.

There are other sources of temperature change so you can't use one indicator to prove there is no effect. What climate scientists have done is look at ALL the possible drivers of climate change and ruled out all of the natural causes as contributing to the current very sharp and ongoing rise in temperature. Everything that's left is caused by human activity.

On the right of that graph, there is a vertical red line. That's not an axis or a border, that's the recent rise in CO2 levels, and it's unprecedented. The overwhelming majority of evidence shows that human activity, mainly greenhouse gases, is causing climate change. Misrepresenting one graph does not change that.
Absolutely, I guess what I'm saying is that this might bring about new types of factors to look for - meaning whole new categories of strategies.

I think with a sufficient number of investors, this fund would correlate very strongly with the S&P 500 itself. So it should be relatively cheap for the issuer to simply buy the S&P 500 and enter into a swap agreement to cover any difference.

[citation needed]

This has been predicted numerous times, it didn't come to pass. Crop production depends on the weather far more than the climate, we have to deal with that issue anyway. So let's deal with the actual issue, not part of what may cause the issue, some of the time.

As for ecosystems getting "devastated" - so what? They get devastated one way or another all the time. They recover.
