Tons of nutrient runoff into the coastline means certain beings will thrive: algae, jellyfish, and apparently urchins. We’re lucky the other substances in runoff aren’t doing even more damage.

The question I’d like to know is: why is uni still so expensive at sushi restaurants?
Subway offers franchises different levels of ingredient quality. I've seen discussions about some ingredients where restaurants that paid for the higher quality usually put a smaller quantity, and people use that as an indicator.

Also, depending on when you were a kid, you may have had one restaurant that still cut the bread using the wedge technique.

I don't think its archaic but it is certainly not a common word anymore.
My primary reason for using that verse though is that it is just impossible to get at the meaning from the modern vantage point. I have no idea how to parse it to make it make say anything like what a modern translation says or even anything meaningful to be honest. Don't worry to do evil? Don't worry about doing evil? Don't do evil while worrying?
Same, I just don't see a viable ROI. I'm not a farmer but it looks like their "food computer" could produce the calorie equivalent of one meal per month at most?
My understanding is that many Amish are enthusiastic solar adopters, precisely because it's off the grid.
One of my favorite examples that I heard in a David Rock talk which I can no longer find on youtube: "Time flies like an arrow":

Time moves swiftly and in one direction.

Record the speed of flies in the same way you would an arrow.

Time flies, which are a kind of fly, are fond of an arrow. (e.g. Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana).
On Discouraging Customers from Using PayPal
Nah, more like "grow mangoes in your Boston home in January instead of paying the seasonal upcharge" type thing. I feel like the original intention was to make a cool gadget (the original name was Personal Food Computer), not solve hunger. Got blown way out of proportions.
The Amish don't use solar because it's green, they use it because it enables them to stay off the grid.
I’m surprised that this article didn’t mention otters at all. Restoring sea otters seems like hard work, but they eat tons of urchins.
After doing the hard learning, you can lecture your intuitive mental model you have. But it's difficult to install that mental model into a beginner's mind. Often the intuitions are illusory mnemonics for the deeper understanding, which if you never learned in the first place would just point to nothing. You have to do the hard learning to arrive at the "intuitive" mental model.
There are lots of cool developments in IDE notebook support - IntelliJ just dropped a plug-in for it as well. To be honest I'd be thrilled if an IDE solution could fill all the gaps that Polynote's targeting (our work would be done!) so I'm looking forward to seeing what develops.

We know categorically that hand cranks do not work, although I think Thad Starner (also from Media Lab) had already proven that when the project started.

They were trying to make them homogenous, when probably a pair or trio of devices would have worked better and had higher survivability.

> It still advocates censorship and doesn't get at the root of the problem that the censorship was occurring at the behest and pressure of a foreign government.

Is that actually the root of the problem? I keep reading this claim about how China supposedly strongarmed Blizzard into doing it but what evidence do we actually have for that?

Because it's not like this is unprecedented: Blizzard has been banning plenty of pro-players over voicing their particular political opinions, even when players did it on their personal streams.

The reality is very likely that Blizzard simply does not want any political speech at all, especially not on their major events. As such Blizzchung could probably also have called out Barcelona or Palestine and the result would very likely have been the same.

But because this is China, there's a whole lot of people heavily, and professionally, invested in spinning the situation as much as possible, very comparable to that whole Ubisoft situation with R6:Siege "censorship".
Need to 'muricanise it more... It's a sort of pickup truck.
It probably does so more than is immediately obvious. If you look at a letter or postcard or journal, there's a physically atomic and generally sufficient representation of the content. They contain the who/what/when/where/why of the story and, if discovered in the future generally persist in a complete state.

With digital communications, this is generally not going to be the case. If someone unearths an Amazon datacenter and starts poring over the content stored in flash drives, they are going to just find volumes and volumes of raided/sharded/indexed/normalized/encrypted content that mixes presentation with prose and reads like someone quickly twisting the dial on an old analog radio.

Most of the content we see now is emergent from the system that stewards it and is only accessible when it's in operation.
We aren't because it's inconvenient and it goes against the grain of our society. If you eschew a large screen TV and the latest smartphone and all manner of social media accounts and you're not apologetic about it, people ask "are turning Amish or something?" The right answer is probably, "You say that like it's a bad thing."
> I can't imagine them banning a player who said "Free Catalan!".

Because imagination overrides precedent?

I do not think this result is that close to a greater-than-human language ability in general, and I do not think they are claiming it. I think the point is that, with scores on this test closely approaching average human scores, there is not much headroom for this particular test to drive, or measure, further progress.

DECLINE of EMPIRES: The Signs of Decay - https://youtu.be/Q2CCs-x9q9U

Today, in Paradise, the power was out for most of the day... like Mogadishu or Baghdad. America, like a slowly-boiled frog, has become a third-world country:

- no universal healthcare

- grotesque inequality: lower average pay, unlivable wages, more billionaires, millions of homeless.

- wealth transfer from the poor to the rich through tariffs, fines, fees and other taxes

- crumbling infrastructure - tens of thousands of structurally-deficient bridges and crossings

- apathetic, uncaring police letting crime go unpunished and misery flourish

Americans don't know how bad they have it... it's great for the very rich, but it's horrible for most people including the aspirational rich who will never be so and yet vote/work against their own interests and be cowardly traitors against We The People.

Well to be honest the book is a historical examination of how some amazing women rejected the modern Christian patriarchy (and good on them for doing so). But the website hosting it is definitely intending it to be taken as 'women are the root of all evil'. Just look at some of the other articles posted on the site, like the one saying that Australia Aboriginal History is made up, or that George Pell (one of Australia's worst pedophiles) did nothing wrong.

People should be more careful of where they source their links from. For example the Amazon link is actually non-biased. https://www.amazon.com/Satanic-Feminism-Liberator-Nineteenth...
this is about it and it's not much of a secret anymore internally, but what do you do? this is just the MR you found, but they're everywhere. unfortunately Sid has known about the HiPPO problem for some time but is preoccupied with everything else and for some reason just won't do anything about it (if it's not gotten to his level many times, someones hiding it from him), and people are getting sick of the tone deafness and surprise when things go wrong. GitLab used to be a mission and values driven company, but now values apply to directors and below and everyone else just kinda does what they want, lean on their title to pressure people, and when there's pushback they say you're blocking efficiency and results, then complain about you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you can see everyone was against this and raised red flags at every step for the past 5 months but of course that didn't mean anything and the rollout was horrible. the people working at GitLab are about as dedicated to your trust and success as it gets, but execs are eyeing that IPO really hard and everything else is whatever. also no offense to Scott but you can't run this like a big corp and a good place to start to improve the product as the new head of product is to fix the backlog of hundreds of functionality deficits and bugs and talk to your customers to see what they need, not get tracking. i don't know how we teleported to this place where getting tracking is a priority because otherwise you can't find ways to improve the product because the last i looked there's a backlog of really critical things going to like version 13
Lots of arguments about whether this is purely historical or disguised opinion. The last paragraph suggests the author’s intention is to discredit feminists imo. Note the use of “God the Father”, “bravely” and “demonstrates” (the lattermost implying that something is factually true and being proven therein). Sure, maybe this was a part of early feminism. But also, buzz off dude. Don’t need this here at least.

> Dr Faxneld provides a most compelling account of how Satanism played a crucial part in early feminism—primarily between 1880 and 1930—as something employed to vilify and denigrate Christianity, and transform God the Father into an oppressive creator and the ultimate enemy of women’s liberation. This book makes for fascinating reading as Faxneld bravely endeavours to demonstrate the centrality of Satanism in influential feminist narrative during the period in a way nobody before him has ever dared to do. His most enlightening book makes a significant contribution to scholarship.

Again, you ask somebody 10 years ago, "What do you do with avocados?" and nine out of ten times they're going to say guacamole. Now they're in everything, almost to a point of self-parody. Same thing with uni. They are full of fat and protein, so you can use them as a source of browning. You can incorporate them into a barbecue marinade or a yakitori marinade. You can use their fattiness to enrich doughs; they make some of the best brioche that I've ever tasted. I sweated down urchins with andouille sausage and used their fat to make probably the best dirty rice I've ever made.'"

Base car costs $AU71k according to carsales, plus it has 88kWh worth of batteries. A naive calculation puts that at $65k worth of batteries when compared with 6.5 tesla powerwalls (costing $AU10k each) to get the same capacity (obviously the non-battery hardware in the powerwall vs ute would be different but roughly equivalent). Adding to $136k. Plus of course the engineering costs. No idea what you could sell the unused diesel motor for, and how much the electric motor costs. Interesting!
Love these games, use them with my web dev students all the time! What topics are you thinking about for future games?
That was my first thought. And then my second thought was I do not like uni so what do I care what the price is.
(1) Most of the mines in Australia aren't coal mines. Maybe there is a case that Asia could prosper as they do without coal (I doubt it, but maybe) - but there is no way they could have prospered like they have without vast amounts of iron ore and copper. The environment absolutely takes a back seat to that outrageous level of prosperity. And even then, Australian mines are pretty environmentally sensitive.

Also, Australia seems to be ~40% of world's lithium production [0]. Probably not going to complain about the emissions those mines kick up.

So basically, don't be sad. Maybe try for proud wonder.

(2) You'll often see solar panels in mines too (setting up infrastructure to a grid is hard work) and I suspect mine rehab would often be a good place to erect some windfarms.

I ask for the same level of self-restrain from you when using adjetives about the quality of the bible and similar kind of opinions.

Note that the person you're replying to did not say that the bible was ALL timeless wisdom, or really say much at all about the overall quality of the bible.

There's no contradiction between the bible containing lots of timeless wisdom AND containing lots of utter nonsense and complete bollocks.

Even as somebody who is an atheist and who generally finds religion to be a blight on our society, I think one can find "timeless wisdom" in the bible mixed in with the other stuff. Whether that, on balance, makes it worth investing time in or not is another question.

From the previous discussion of SSH port 22:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14178993

Back in the "bad old days" of the simplex NCP protocol, before the full duplex TCP/IP protocol legalized same-sex network connections, connect and listen sockets had gender defined by their parity, and all connections were required to use sockets with different parity gender (one even and the other odd -- I can't remember which was which, or if it even mattered -- they just had to be different).
The act of trying to connect an even socket to another even socket, or an odd socket to another odd socket, was considered a "peculiar error" called "homosocketuality", which was strictly forbidden by internet protocols, and mandatory "heterosocketuality" was called the "Anita Bryant feature".

Heard an interview with this guy on NPR about a year ago [1].

He made some comment about how he tried to make it more poetic than most translations. Then proceeded to give several examples where his translation sounded distinctly more awkward to me than the text he was replacing. For example, replacing "anoint" with "moisten" and "soul" with "life breath".

They are successful because they have invested a lot into automation and efficiency. We're the cleanest, greenest, leanest and newest shop I've ever seen. And we do so much with so little in terms of workforce. We have a very good thing going for us. It would take probably $100m to build what they've built.

Sales, however, is not very... effective. They don't go out and look for work. We rarely get dog and pony shows. We aren't putting our name out there. We are at the mercy of our small selection of deep-pocketed customers.

We are well positioned to take a lot of larger competitors by storm in the region. Up until recently I thought that's what we were doing, but I guess I was mistaken.

However I think I'm going to have an honest and up-front conversation about where the company is headed. It seems to be the most logical way forward. Really understand what the reasons are for our current direction and see if it's something I can live with. I'm comfortable if it's not going to work and I have to start looking, but it's just kind of a sad feeling. I was totally ready to fly this flag to the top.
