Sounds like a very promising venture. I like that you're willing to share the data and are offering an intelligence unit.

Have you thought of implementing experimental designs at scale? like you're intelligence unit could organize large scale controlled experiments on possible improvements in technique/process/genetics with willing participants. Since all the systems are controlled, closed loop, and use the same equipment a lot of variance that is present in typical ag experiments would be avoided. This combined with a high number of participants to replicate the experiment could offer a robust platform for rapid improvement via citizen science.

tl;dr several reasons:

1. the church considers the reproductive faculty to be exclusively for marriage in the marital act. The marital act must be "procreative and unitive" to be licit, and IVF (and a variety of other fertility processes) frustrate the unitive nature.

2. IVF as currently performed always ends up producing multiple embryos.

2a. The embryos are genetically tested and those that don't make "the cut" (whatever that might be, right now; the goalposts can move and can depend on the parents or various other things) are simply discarded/destroyed, and the church holds that this is infanticide/murder.

2b. The embryos that make the cut but are "extra" go into a freezer, but the church holds that these are human beings that should be accorded the dignity of any other person. They might be used at a later date, they might not.

Even if there were a technique developed (which development the church would also consider illicit because the research would require consuming more embryos) that resulted in exactly zero "extra" embryos, point 1 above still stands.

That's a fair point, but it's worth noting that FPTP risks vote spitting and handing power to the wrong party. Perhaps they cancelled out in this case, but these problems often don't cancel out. These problems reduce voters' equality, power and choice, even where they do cancel out in terms of election winners.

> whether their ability to fight terrorism, drug and human trafficking, etc would get negatively impacted by limiting of those apps.

I seriously doubt it. First that I strongly disagree with the war on drugs. Second because, while human trafficking is certainly a problem, I think the scope of the problem is made out to be far larger than it is in actuality; it's often hand-waived for more security, more laws... but what are the actual yearly numbers of people trafficked?

If the FBI gets a warrant to find you using your phone, they don't need to install an app for that. If they want to see what's on the phone then surreptitiously installing an app isn't going to guarantee that either.
I believe IBM couldn't get the Powerbook G5 out of the lab because of thermal issues, it was in development though but canned.

In addition to the simplicity issue, IRV can have a practical problem of legitimacy, when the elected official is everyone's 10th choice (I exaggerate for effect).

There are some arguments for allowing that, but I think the argument against is stronger - officials need legitimacy to serve effectively, otherwise we have a period of political instability which will end badly, and 10th choices won't practically have legitimacy. In Approval voting the preference order is a bit hidden so this doesn't happen. One of those cases where treating an election as if it's not an opinion poll at all is the better choice.

Netscape was "free for educational use" and anyone could download it free of charge. According to one old hand at Netscape (JWZ? Eich?) they checked their server logs for which corporate IPs downloaded it most often and had their sales team contact the freeloading companies. I think they were also planning to sell licenses to ISPs and modem vendors for use as pack-in software.

Then MS released IE for free, no strings attached, and killed their business model overnight.

> I don't blame them either. Why would you do home health when you can get similar pay working at a factory, warehouse, or, even, fast food.

My mother was a nurse for years in the aged care sector. The pay for a qualified nurse is actually pretty good (I would still argue it should be higher for the work, but it was well above average).

Homecare aids (or AIN/care assistants as they were called here) are paid horribly and treated as expendable (even when the roles are difficult to fill since no one wants to wipe asses and give 89 year old dementia patients bed baths for $18.6 AUD per hour).

Most of the care assistants I met were checked out and only there because they had no other option. The combination of minimum wage and high turnover also means you end up with some really horrible people in these roles. I remember hearing multiple stories about care assistants stealing from homes and mistreating patients. If you paid a little better and treated the staff with respect, you wouldn't need to hire the dregs of society to look after the most vulnerable in society.

ULEZ isn't "no diesel trucks" it's "only modern compliant diesel trucks". So the competitor doesn't need to pay the charge so long as either all their trucks are compliant OR as we do at the end of the example they use their noodle and allocate only compliant vehicles to London.

I would be _astonished_ if some and maybe all actual companies in that game hadn't gone "Oh, we need to ensure only our compliant trucks enter the ULEZ" back when this rule was written, long before it came into effect. The UK is full of archaic stuff that makes it awkward for a not-so-smart logistics company so "We mustn't send old trucks to central London" probably isn't even on the top ten weirdest scheduling constraints they deal with.

Pushing back on OpEx in favor of CapEx might be seen as a more long-term strategy too. Basically rent vs purchase, even for deprecating assets like infosys, as I think the current DevOps trend (scaling in pure software, virtualization, etc) makes it easier than ever to squeeze every last FLOP on-premises.
I'm no expert on Tor but when I researched it years ago, it seemed like your privacy on tor was only as safe as the exit node you happen to go through. If you're in North Korea trying to get out and happen to go through an exit node run by the NK government, they could theoretically decrypt your traffic in some cases. If all the nodes you're going through are theirs, then they know exactly who you are even if they can't inspect the traffic.

Edit: I must stress I'm not an expert, and would love to hear if the above is wrong.

I'm excited about nuclear, but it seems like we will eventually run out of uranium fuel unless we switch to breeder reactors. Am I off on this? This is assuming that nuclear usage grows to become a larger portion of our total energy use. I see nuclear as potentially solving a lot of our problems, but it seems to have some difficulties as well.

I'm more skeptical that we can support such a large population. Right now we make heavy use of fertilizer, which is produced from natural gas and by mining phosphates. Probably we could avoid using natural gas, but this would require using more energy, so I'm not sure how sustainable this is long-term.
I think physical comedy just has a broader audience, which worked well in silent movies and thereafter. The broadness is also why it’s considered cheap and used sparingly. It’s like shouting. As Friends went on and the writing got lazier every character was shouting all the time.

But a recent example of a well done pratfall I saw in a show mostly about dialog and editing was Modern Family (season 2) where Cameron turns to give his husband a kiss who pulls back (due to discomfort with public displays of affection, the theme of the episode) and Cameron overleans and falls head over heels over the back of the sofa quite roughly; he’s a big guy too. I laughed a lot partly in surprise because I basically never see a pratfall in comedy shows I like.
> physical ISPs have something to lose

Unless they're a (natural or artificial) monopoly, like... pretty much every ISP in North America is. Comcast has the reputation of, well, Comcast, and they're doing just fine.

> Becoming a "VPN provider" literally does not entail more than "rent a few servers, run OpenVPN, buy a billing system license, hire a marketing guy".

Yes, that's a good thing: it means that VPN providers, unlike telcos, are under selection pressure. Which means that for VPN providers, unlike telcos, reputation actually means something; the top VPN provider is striving much harder for your dollar than the top telco is.

Certainly, don't pick a VPN provider at random, but you wouldn't anyway.
Yes, I also observe much more power drawn even on a single page (especially if it contains animations) opened in Firefox vs any other browser, and on Windows, IE is significantly less power hungry.

I've also checked this newest version, 70 on Windows and my measurement of the power use give practically identical results to the measurements I've done almost two years ago.

I see that the power drain comes from the browser's own code doing something unnecessary and as far as I see it doesn't even appear to platform dependent.

It's surely possible to optimize that and it's obviously not their priority.

Even if these apps are used by the police etc, that's typically only allowed if they make sure to only sell to cops. Of course, that's usually not actually enforced, but services like GPS tracking arbitrary phones or cracking iPhone passcode security are usually limited in this fashion.

Something I'm sceptical about: the idea that introducing people that look different magically automatically leads to better performing teams. Questioning this verges on heresy in this day and age, yet there seem to be plenty of companies that are utterly lacking in (superficial) diversity, yet (rather inconveniently for diversity cheerleaders) somehow make massive profits in spite of their handicap.

Another one: women are paid less than men for the same work. If this were the case, companies would - because they could do an equivalent job to a man for less money - simply hire all women workforces which due to their lower wage bill would outcompete and destroy companies that employed men. Yet - again somewhat inconveniently! - the real world refuses to match the theory.

Those who dilute their approval across potential winning candidates are under-represented relative anyone with an extreme view who would apply a dis-proportionate approval level to their smaller (maybe singular) set of approved candidates.

The approval or not of a given candidate might best depend on who supports them _at all_ out of the entire population, over any position in the rankings. That would mathematically simplify to ignoring rank order, considering all rank voting sets as approval tracks, and always eliminating whoever had the least votes until a single winner is left.

However that poorly reflects the preference of selecting the most desired winner, which is why other slightly more complicated algorithms were designed.

If the choice is between my ISP logging all of my traffic for whatever purposes they choose, commercial or otherwise, or adding the hurdle of someone getting a court order to get logs of my traffic, I'll take the added hurdle every time. I'm not worried about my traffic being "suspicious" - I'm not doing anything suspicious. You also aren't limited to using a single VPN. If you value your privacy spreading your browsing habits around to a variety of VPNs can only help you - there's no downside when the alternative is "trusting" your ISP.

Yes. In reality it might have been more complicated than I suggested. And maybe I read more into your comment than I should have. I do think IRV would have been an improvement over FPTP in the elections featuring Perot and Nader, though.
I find it chilling that a government can force the donation of your genetic material "for the greater good". Unless we explicitly consent to our genetic material being used in a certain way (i.e. donating eggs or sperm) it's terrifying to think that we can essentially be forced to.

Also, see the case where parents got permission to use their dead son's sperm to create a grandchild. Presumably the parents picked the partner to conceive the grandchild.

There's a little bit of user blaming in that statement (not being critical, just thinking out loud). Dealing with the elderly and folks who are less familiar with tech is an interesting design space.

Does anyone know design patterns that specifically seek to improve the experience for non-tech savy elderly?
Totally agree. I'm very much in favour of using almost ANY system other than FPTP. I'm only arguing that calling the conservatives the "party with the most votes" is a distortion of reality enabled by FPTP. They have the most votes of any single party, but their _ideas_ have far fewer votes than progressive ideas.

· Liquid fueled MSR, safety is best of any other source. So, we think regulators will lower barriers over time as we prove this.

· Waste management is easier since our waste will be ~5x less mass per kg fuel (~500x less mass per kWh energy), and also returns to natural radioactivity much faster (one or two centuries). We actually plan to sell most of the fission products as useful materials.

· As of now, our reactors are planned to be mostly stainless steel. Most of the lifetime mass-throughput of current GI-GIII fission plants is concrete and steel, of which we have basically none of the concrete and much less steel because no pressure vessel. So, decommissioning is much easier and probably will be internally profitable.

You're right about the last part, because solar will almost definitely get at least 2x cheaper than it is today, and within not more than a few decades.

My perception is biased (ofc), but in my view it's actually very likely that we will reach or surpass our goal, though, so I personally wouldn't bet on renewables.
