Friend tax is a real thing. Its when a friend doesn't have access to something that the rest of the friend group has. For example, if your friend group uses Facebook messenger and Facebook events to plan stuff but you don't have that then they will try to include you through second-hand reach out such as texts or emails, in-person, etc. However, since you are not involved in the primary mode of communication you will miss important details and may even show up to incorrect locations as it is not clear who in the group is responsible for informing you of the change.
Heat Death: Venture Capital in the 1980s (2015)
I worked at a startup that structured their values to be explicit tradeoffs between two equally valid choices generally, but where one choice was more valid for the startup.

For example, we held something to the effect of "We value open disagreement and direct communication more than harmonious relations" This was a great value: the company needed to have tight OODA loops and that did not permit beating around the bush. People had differences of opinion and they needed to be able to express them and come to conclusions. In other orgs it could have been valid to have a get-along attitude if things were more important to keep steady (a successful and functioning business unit, for example, might prefer to keep going steadily without rocking the boat).

At the same time, the company also said "We value thinking things through from first principles rather than re-applying what has already been done elsewhere." This meant you couldn't justify a decision on "well we did it that way at company x", you had to have a good reason to do something a certain way. This cost us time (unlike the previous value) because decisions or designs could be challenged for not having a good justification. The upside was that it led (I think) to better designs, and encouraged people to debate bad decisions before making them.

We didn't have any values that looked like "honesty" or "excellence". That was nice.

> In the old days, it was routine for customs officers to search ships coming in to harbor, including the effects of their passengers, to enforce importation laws

Yes, but electronic devices can't digitally contain physical substances that might be subject to customs laws. It's not comparable. It's probably still today reasonable to search ships in the harbor and passengers for physical substances (like banned animals or fruits/vegetables), but it's not obvious to me how searching electronic devices achieves any reasonable objective related to customs law.

This was literally a selling point at Google:

Employees were “obligated to dissent” if they saw something they disagreed with, and they were encouraged to “bring their whole selves” to work rather than check their politics and personal lives at the door.[1]

Lots of companies have figured out that "having a worthwhile mission", in addition to just a paycheck, is one way to distinguish themselves from other potential employers.

Having worked on farms, with mechanics, and with grad students, I tend to believe grad students exaggerate their misery.

While not always true, most grad students I know tend to have relatively good careers, which they are comparing grad school to.

This is not universally true, of course, but more often the case than with my coworkers in aforementiones manual labor jobs.

The second post was better, but it's from 2011...and the PDO did not stay negative for very long, by 2015 it was positive again, so that was not a longer term negative flip in PDO [1].

So we saw warmer temps in 2016, which briefly skirted highs set in 1998...but since then global temps have cooled. The AMO will go negative sometime in the 2020s and it will coincide with a negative PDO and a grand solar minimum and that is well correlated with global temps dropping based on thousands of years of ice cores and tree rings. See below.

Disney has always been about technology. From the animatronics and the other attractions at the theme parks to the engineers at Pixar and LucasFilms.

As I posted above, they own BAMTech, one of the most well respected companies in the streaming infrastructure space.

Building for scale is not hard for good engineers, building for rapid, reliable scale from day one is hard. No one knows how to do it. Building for scale is always about patching holes while you grow slowly.

Even Google doesn’t do big band released like Disney tried to do. They keep things in beta, start off with a limited number of invitations until they work all of the kinks out.

Netflix didn’t become popular overnight. They had time to scale out slowly and on different devices.
It's sort of mind blowing with these numbers that Apple doesn't intentionally target the enterprise.

dates, like other fruit, contain sugar in proportion to dietary fiber which helps moderate intake by making you full. Yes, that effect is probably quite negligible in this application but it's certainly not a harmful rule of thumb to use whole fruits instead of refined sugar where sensible.

Hello. I am the current maintainer of Deedle. Recently, I have been focused on use cases of MathNet interop. Deedle.Math was released last week. pandas-like matrix dot functions are available now. Lots of linear algebra, stats and finance related functions are added too. More finance domain functions and docs improvements are on my to-do list.

I am really excited about the new Data Frame from corefxlab to complement what Deedle lacks. Since Deedle's original core engineering team has left and moved on, some core technical debt are beyond my capability to address. But Deedle is still the best data frame library in .Net ecosystem for now if you are able to get around some of its odd edges.
Just because someone is a manager doesn't mean that they can't make a meaningful contribution to an invention. In my experience, the patentable ideas can come from anywhere in an organization (and I've seen it from individual contributor level up to VPs)... but the individual contributor is always left figuring out the lower-level details of how to get this idea into production.

This is actually pretty bad disinformation considering the overwhelming scientific evidence indicating that eating fruit is great for your diet.

A major point is that most fruit isn't sweet enough to dramatically sweeten a product. Most people would over-sweeten their food significantly compared to using fruit. It is in fact difficult to over consume fruit from a sugar perspective, while it is comparatively trivial to over consume sugar from added refined sources.

Another benefit to fruit is that instead of being pure sugar like sugar, there are a wide variety of other more complex carbohydrates

I'll point out that fruit consumption is inversely correlated with obesity [0] while sugar consumption is positively correlated with it [1]

[1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23594708

Fruit and vegetable intake is also positively correlated with basically reduction in all cause mortality but specifically heart disease and cancer https://academic.oup.com/ije/article/46/3/1029/3039477

There is more to fruit than an overly reductive idea of "sugar + fiber" and there are a lot of compounds in there from vitamins and minerals to other things. The science is clearly showing us that fruit is much more healthy for us than refined sugar, because of a variety of things including how much less sugar there is in most fruit compared to foods with added refined sugars.
What if we just took birthright even further, by just replacing it with fate, assuming for the moment that everything is pre-decided?

I think that’s probably plausible, but it’s sort of besides the point because I there is no reason to believe that we can ever know this fate until it’s happened. Granted, in some contexts we are allowed to know this “fate”, and this context can just be replaced with “science”, or “the predictable things we know about our world”.

So bearing this all this in mind, if we took your idea even further - all the way to full on pre-destiny - I don’t see how it should change anything about our current world.

Basically, you might be right that there’s some kind of great master race sleeping amongst the rest of us, but it’s not really something that you get to “know”. Probably this dogma you speak of that people hold on to is because it’s just as plausible to believe in hard work as fate and no one really knows what to do, or else we’d all do it.

I’d add that even assuming that we can quantify birthrite to begin with, not to mention success, is basically starting from a false predicate. The world is manifold, shit happens, and any attempt to try and turn this stuff into inputs and outputs isn’t intellectually honest.

Disney is no different than any other company as far as how they treat their front line people. They treat their creative people well but they outsource the special effects and much of the non computer animation out to the lowest bidder.

All of the big tech companies with hardware sales and grunt work do the same.
I agree with respecting everyone and would never, for example, intentionally call a trans woman “he” because I can see by looking what to say. My issue is with people who are asking to have all of us remap language to remember a special exception for them (ie she looks female but feels nonbinary so wants to be called they) and gets offended if you don’t remember. It just feels like a highly politicized exercise, and though I try to comply it feels awkward.
> Can you name single great work of art created by Disney that isn't mostly derivative? Reflect on why you can't: they are monetizers of existing culture, not creators of originality.

You sort of have a point, since this is Disney we're considering, but this is a slippery slope.

Most _everything_ is derivative work.

Should I pirate all commercial software that's powered by open source software?

Should I never pay for a modern book with a hero's journey storyline simply because it's not original?

And I shouldn't pay artists for their covers or remixes of other songs? So unoriginal.

And why should I buy tickets to any new Batman movie? Batman's part of our culture and the story is probably taken from the comics.

And I should never profit from my business unless it's MY original idea.

If you dislike Disney (for good reason), then boycott them. But that doesn't give you the _right_ to pirate their content nor should you encourage others to pirate.

Only one guy on the team didn't use a Mac, another contractor and he was using a Linux laptop.
People also underestimate how easy it is to cheat. One of the richest people I met in College was also on full financial aid and received in-state tuition despite being from out-of-state. All he had to do was lie on a couple forms. He was also on foodstamps so that he could spend more of his monthly stipend on drugs and alchohol.

There will always be bad actors in any system, and its still worth having aid programs even though a few people take advantage of them, but there needs to be serious checks and balances first.

TLDR; college organizations can't be trusted to audit themselves so we need a combination of government regulation with teeth, consumer advocacy, and full transparency, in order to achieve the best outcome of an initiative such as an adversity score.

Measuring dopamine is a bit like measuring a person's heart rate. It could indicate fear, or it could indicate sexual arousal, too much coffee, or some other medical condition. People like to say things like "seratonin is the drug that makes you happy," or "oxytocin is the drug that makes you feel love," or "dopamine is the brain's reward mechanism," but those statements are simplified to the point of being wrong.

This study is still pretty cool though, because it does point us in a general direction. It can help explain why some mental illnesses like schizophrenia have strong genetic components, yet also environmental factors like childhood abuse. As you said, the reduced dopamine could be a good thing. But maybe in a genetic minority it creates a neuro-chemical downward spiral. Maybe we could prevent the development of schizophrenia by prescribing medication following trauma. Who knows. It opens a lot of doors.
