>Why would you think that dogs that live in the city get any less exercise than a dog who lives in the suburbs or somewhere rural? Often cities are more walkable than the alternative.

You can't take dogs on the train. So if your apartment is in a nice, walkable place and you don't mind never walking someplace else in the city, then ok. But if you want to walk in a different neighborhood miles away that you need to get to by subway, then forget it; you can't bring your dog there.

I don't even know how you'd get your dog to the vet in a city, unless perhaps you can get an Uber driver to let you bring it in the car with you (not too sure about that; I wouldn't want to ride in an Uber/Lyft after someone had a dog in there, and other customers could very well be allergic, so services like this would be wise to ban dogs).
Ah, thanks for the context.
Inflation is removed from "real" (yes, that's the technical term) growth numbers.
Its not my personal interpretation, and just because legal cases interpreted a certain way for two centuries does not make them right. The constitution was not intended to give the government broad powers, but rather to assign limits to its scope. The context in which it "needs to be understood" is not for you to define, but up for interpretation.

"The United States Constitution presents an example of the federal government not possessing any power except what is delegated to it by the Constitution — with the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution making explicit that powers not specifically delegated to the federal government are reserved for the people and the states."

> Their discovery and subsequent characterization has triggered some debate concerning the evolutionary origins of giant viruses. The two main hypotheses for their origin are that either they evolved from small viruses, picking up DNA from host organisms, or that they evolved from very complicated organisms into the current form which is not self-sufficient for reproduction. What sort of complicated organism giant viruses might have diverged from is also a topic of debate. One proposal is that the origin point actually represents a fourth domain of life, but this is not universally accepted

Finally! Guidance on airdrops and forks was sorely needed.

The guidance seems mostly in line with expectations, but I find one bit confusing. The IRS is drawing a distinction between a hard fork with an airdrop and a hard fork without an airdrop. I don't understand the concept of a hard fork without an airdrop. If the new chain doesn't at least maintain the balances of all existing accounts using the new chain's token, then IMO it's not a fork at all but simply the launch of a new cryptocurrency. Can someone give an example of the kind of hard fork with no airdrop the IRS is talking about?

Nope, 5 years is a maximum term you can get for residential mortgages, fixed or variable, with 25 years amortization most commonly (so you'll renew it at least 4 times).

Maybe there are other weird types of mortgages but they are usually not available for individuals I think.
I can't quite recommend Luminar over Ps/Lr because i've never used the latter, but Luminar seems good enough, and it also seems to be getting better.

I've been getting into photo editing recently, and searched online for a few hours to learn about the differences between the various options. From what i gathered, Luminar (which is a pay once for a lifetime license that you can have installed in up to five machines at a time) is a serious contender to Ps/Lr even at the professional level, let alone at the amateur/occasional user level.

Yes. Another way of looking at it is that GenX are the children of people too young to be members of the Greatest Generation or participate in events surrounding WWII, but too old to be baby boomers.

The title mentions Gödel, but it’s a broad treatment that really discusses a lot of the context of the subject.

Keep in mind there are multiple reasons why proofs can become problematic.

Gödel deals with some of them, other problems go unproven for centuries until our techniques catch up. Some proofs are impractical being nearly infinitely complex, etc.

Asserting that ICE made that finding and stopped detaining children with parents together based on it is false. ICE didn't even make the decision to stop family detention, the US District Court for the Central District of California in 2015 (in a decision appealed to and upheld by the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 2016), applying rules from the 1997 Flores settlement, prohibited extended detention of children with adults (and ICE continues to operate family detention facilities within the limits of that court order.) This did force separation in detention when extended, but this was actively mitigated for the remaining part of Obama’s term, IIRC, by ICE not detaining adults or their children for illegal entry alone when that would result in separation of parents from their children (they didn't stop immigration proceedings against them, just didn't detain them during the process, unless there were additional reasons.)

Can somebody help me out here. I think the biggest issue on my mind for the coming election is the U.S. and China relations.

I don't see any candidate who seems to have an interest whatsoever in being tough on China, and more terrifying, could lead us during a time that something bad did happen.

Trump isn't the greatest, but he is the ONLY one I can see who I would trust would at least have the gall to stand up to China.
Yes, and they say this at the same time as they say share plenty of stories about alternative formulations that work as well but rejected because they lack "elegance" or whatever, and somehow they do not see any conflict in this. It's a weird kind of denial of making first principle assumptions.

So far, I haven’t really seen it outside campuses, but there is a strong push to have private companies deplatform people, and government action is always a tool in the toolchest that people might invoke.

As to your second point, FIRE tends to advocate for free speech on campus generally, including private schools. A lot of the right-wing attempts at suppressing speech happen at places like private religious schools (Duquensque and Georgetown are two top posts in the FIRE website). I tend to stop short of that—I think private schools are free to restrict speech in ways public schools are not. But, as I said in my post, attempts to suppress speech have historically been a right wing phenomenon.

> Why does so much ability stay trapped as ideas or creative thoughts, rather than graduate to launch and become innovations?

It is super difficult (in my opinion and in America) to go from employed programmer to startup founder. Health insurance is tied to employers, and employers have IP assignment and COI policies. These 2 things working together heavily discourage people pursuing their own thing because it adds a ton of overhead to the cost of striking out on your own.
Sure.

Don't work salary, work hourly. I did it as a contractor at Google so the pay was still good, but I'm not "taking" anything from my employer if I leave early. Google also has the benefit of not needing to be as efficient as possible so they can absorb some amount of reduced output.

Bill in 15 minute increments, and always be working if you're billing. If a coworker asks you how your weekends was, engage and say hello, but keep it under 5 minutes. Longer than 5 minute breaks, clock out (even if just mentally keeping track or keeping track on paper). If you work a solid 6-7 hours a day 5 days a week, you'll probably be just as productive as your salaried coworkers, so managers will only notice when they approve your hours.

Be good at working alone. Its hard to work in a team if others work 40 hours a week and you work a lot less. Other team members think if you don't work as much you're not committed (IMO a spurious correlation).

Continue this schedule unless a manager demands you work more. If they are passive about it ("we'd prefer you work more, but we won't actually ask that of you"), then continue with your 30-35 hour weeks. If you can continue doing it, it forces the organization to decide if your schedule is a real problem (and fire you) or just something they think looks weird but they are willing to deal with.

Keep doing valuable work so the momentum of keeping you even at fewer hours is worth more than letting you go.

Find some other passion work outside of work. Open source, robots, sewing, hiking, family time, etc. Tell your managers and coworkers how much you love your projects so they know you won't just say okay if they were to push you to work more. Also, finding stuff to enjoy is the point.

Push to 30 hour weeks if you can. Five 5-6 hour days is 25-30 hours a week. I'd usually have one 3 hour day when I had to leave early for therapy appointments (and I would happily not come back in to work after!) and then one 8 hour day to balance it.

Surf this wave of staying useful while working less as long as you can. In my case the maximum allowed two year contract was coming to an end and my half-assed efforts did not warrant hiring me full time (I didn't try or want that anyway). Then when looking for new jobs, I realized the biggest thing to me was working fewer hours. I applied to several places and one place I found really didn't care how much I worked. They key stipulation for me was that I would work 4 days a week, about 30 hours a week. They said that was fine, they cared mostly about total project cost not time taken. In reality I've settled in to about 20 hours a week and we're still making great progress on the project.

So in summary: be pushy, prioritize yourself, accept some risk, and once you're used to that schedule make it a requirement for new jobs. It takes a lot of privilege to pull it off so not everyone can do it, but it's possible.
It's not a binary thing.

Being born in a developed country in a relatively stable home environment is a privilege.

Having the above as a baseline, and being born with a particular set of talents and personality can propel a person far higher than that.

I dislike the use of the term 'privilege' when used in the context of any form of success because it is, as you point out, tautological.
But private companies deplatforming people is exactly the thing you were speaking approvingly of earlier; that's simple freedom of association, articulated through commercial pressure.
Who cares. This is not a fight we should back down from. Let them steal IP. Let them buy up land. Let them screw us on trade. Oh please, do anything but fight back!

I don't think a Free Software version of what we now call the cloud has to slice the responsibilities the same way.

(Reductio ad absurdium) GNU hackers creating an AWS clone? Not gonna happen.

I have paid close attention to conversations that Ed Snowden brought up around his attempts to convince Glen Greenwald to use and trust PGP.

The Free Software movement will someday have an improvement on PGP. When average ordinary people such as Glen Greenwald can use it, that part is done. Part of what?

And... let's argue about what to call it!

Free Cloud? Nah, too conformist.

GNU's Non-Cloud? The acronym GNC is already taken and besides, it's unpronounceable.

Very large scale, just not in the exact form GP is describing; instead, farmers drop stationary internet-connected sensors all over their fields, their sampling equipment GPS-tags results from every core sample, and tractors have computer-controlled equipment to feed location and quantity information to chemical dispensers.

I try to commute on a train. Sometimes it's feasible to work while on the train, and a long commute is less of a problem.

Your description does not appear to be correct. Ice is not being formed at the "focal point," ice is being formed under the reflector.

You can't focus coldness. "Cold" radiation is simply less radiation. When you focus it, you get more radiation, not less of it. More radiation means more energy.

Instead you're simply seeing the effect of radiative cooling. See "Nocturnal ice making in Early India and Iran" [1]. By insulating the sides of a pan of water, and leaving the only window for radiation pointed to the night sky, you're ensuring that more radiation is leaving the water than entering it. Thus the water cools down.

So it would work equally with an insulated box with high walls. It's not about focusing the coldness.

Connecting the legs with a spring improves human running economy
It does though. Proof (if you want to call it that, I accept it is not formally valid) via contradiction:

There is the immaterial economy which which might theorize can perpetually grow.

There is also the material economy which is rooted in real physics - ie, materials, energy (it will always take some energy to heat up water and prepare food, for instance). Can we rule out that buying metal and building material become completely free? Or that the cost of energy will be reduced to zero? If there is limited supply, there must be some cost and if that cost is too low, someone will buy it up, corner the market, and start charging the correct price.

If so, the material economy cannot grow forever (outside inflation, which is not real economic growth).

If the material economy cannot perpetually grow, but other parts can, then eventually that part of the economy will completely eclipse the non-material economy. As the part that perpetually grows goes to infinitely, the relative value of the part of the economy rooted in physical limits will be worth relatively nothing.

Which contradicts the earlier point part of the economy can perpetually grow when some parts do not, unless the parts which cannot perpetually grow simply become free.
that's a very short-term/literal view of the situation. Obviously any American company at the end of the day can physically do what it wants if it resides in the US, but if you want to have long term access to the Chinese market or capital it becomes significantly more of a strategic issue. Just look at the university conflicts in Australia.
There is indeed perpetual growth. As long as the economic transaction benefits both of us, as all non-coercive economic transactions are, then the result is net-positive. This is why free trade is a good thing - we decide to trade because it benefits both of us. If trading resulted in a loss for one of us, we wouldn't trade.
it would be bad for a while but the consequences in the long term would be all positive for the US. Hope that happens.
Cervical cancer 'cure' closer with gene-editing breakthrough, scientists say
Because it only leeches from the collective pool of knowledge / experiments, instead of experimenting and trying different things which could lead to diversity. Some people won't have the time to pull off experimenting though, and it is also possible to get inspired by someone else their deck. It is also a form of jealousy/spite by those who do spend time; as they see other people who spend (far) less time in the game, to overcome challenges.

For me, I am a former MtG player (mostly end 90s), and the game is 100% P2W, as is Hearthstone. I enjoyed the orig. SWCCG a lot as it was very different, but it also was more... weird and roleplayish like. Other than that, Micropose's 1997 MtG was buggy (hehe and put off turbo button to make game speed go down) but at least also somewhat fun, and allowed players to play with old cards for not much money. The only other CCGs which are not P2W are Netrunner and Slay The Spire (inspired by Netrunner and not really a _C_CG but rather a card game with rogue-like element; it does have the arena/deck building aspect to it though!).
Ah, OK. I thought something different was being said by "long hours." To me, ~40 is "normal", but when you start talking 50+, that's "long hours". And I don't think anybody should be doing that unless they're being compensated appropriately.

Integer addition and multiplication are associative and commutative, even in the presence of two's complement wraparound. So this transformation is valid. I don't have a source to point you to, though. I'd be interested in one, if anyone has one. (Or just a proof, if it fits here.)
>Given that female humans are the only female mammals with this egg limitation I bet we can crack this with stem cells too

We can, eventually, I'm sure. Biology is just a mechanism, and with enough work and knowledge, we can figure it out.

However, would it make much difference? I'm thinking most women don't have children because they don't want them (or any more of them), not because they've become infertile due to age. In fact, most mothers seem to lost all interest in having more kids after having 1 or maybe 2: going through the experience shows them the grim reality of child-rearing, so once they've "done their part" with 1 or 2 kids, they've had enough.

Perhaps, if we achieve biological immortality, along with eliminating age-related infertility, people will have more kids, because they could afford to wait a long time between them. They could have the first one at 30-50, after they've gotten themselves financially situated, then they could take a break for a few decades, then have another one, then take another break, etc. Maybe after 2-3 decades, they'll have forgotten what a pain in the ass the previous one was.
