Doesn't matter if it military or end user. First you have to make it work then make it safe. A not safe but working consumer multirotor plane is still much better than safe but not working plane.
Question is... are banks the best intermediary for determining who is capable of creating value? Perhaps in traditional established commercial lending, but would challenge its efficiency on newer orgs.

One benefit of basic income would be that consumption is about as close to market driven as it gets. So naturally the money would flow to companies providing value to individuals based on their needs.

The Fed also controls treasury yields via quantitative easing.
Actually I was spitballing 20% of $2b as an upper bound for the entire plant. Does 30% come from something? For the thought experiment I’ll take 20% of $2.8b though. So $560m.

Not sure how shaft power is what we are considering here as this would be converted to purely electricity generation. These plants are estimated 210MW thermal, say a 35% conversion factor that’s more in the ballpark of 70MW electric. So $560m for 70MWe that doesn’t need refueling for 20 years. So more like $8,000 /KW. For a system that can be largely self contained, shipped to site, and not need refueling for its 20 year life span.

We could replace over 200GW of fossil generation sources in this country with 3000 of these at a price of $1.68t. Amortized over that 20 years fuel life span. That’s crude ballpark $84 billion a year.

US electricity production at the moment (11am EST) is about 490GW. With 99GW coal and 166gW of gas.

So we could effectively turn the country’s electricity system fossil free for a cost of $84 billion per year.

That’s seems dirt cheap. It’s less than this years military budget increase. For that we clean our grid. The more I think about it the more it seems it’s something we could totally do without breaking a sweat if we actually took climate change seriously.
How they got there is more interesting.

As an enthusiastic road cyclist I don't think there has ever been a time in modern history when the cohort of people who ride 10,000km+ a year for general conditioning/cardio/training, and spend $2,000+ on road bikes, wasn't gender ratio skewed by at least 85:15 towards men.

It is kind of unfortunate because there should really be nothing gender specific about cycling.
The plan/article doesn't address:

- Bundling
- Innovation/Productivity
- Incentives

Also, if you decommoditize things you can't trade them for other things. So, the commodities that are left would become that much more relatively expensive.
Life is also metaphorical, psychological, physiological, illogical, physical, religious, worldly, sexual, etc... And the emphasis of one particular dimension is pathological.

Wow this is all incredibly sexist.
No need to conflate the frontend (the end-user interface that 'most people' use when trying to 'find the book they're looking for') with the mirroring/archiving backend (the distributed/p2p technology used to 'make sure LibGen never goes down').

The frontend would still be a user-friendly HTTP web-application (or collection of several) that pulls (portions of) the archive from the distributed/resilient backend to serve individual files to clients.

The backend can be a relatively obscure, geeky, post-BitTorrent p2p software like IPFS or Dat, as long as those willing to donate bandwidth/storage can run it on their systems. This is a vastly different audience from 'most people'.

The real question is which software's features best fits the backend use-case (efficiently hosting a very large and growing/evolving, IP-infringing dataset). Dat [1] has features to (1) update data and efficiently synchronize changes, and to (2) efficiently provide random-access data from larger datasets. Two quite compelling advancements over BitTorrent for this use-case.

Posts get to the front page by being upvoted by users. The posts then decay off the front page as time goes by. So the mix that is there is based upon what users upvote.

Therefore, if you want differing content on the front page, then start upvoting stuff sitting on the new page that you'd like to see on the front page to help it get to the front page.

I understand the terrible breach in privacy that comes with smart appliances (Looking at you Alexa), it could be argued that through a standard we could make this appliances "safer" or more secure to breaches.

The reality is that as long as there is any profit to be made from selling them, corners will be cut and people by trying to save will end up with smart appliances that end up being windows to unknown actors.

In this scenario I find it way more comforting for big corporations and governments to have access over individuals who could target specific people. Abstinence seems like the only solution from an individuals POV.

Why doesn't someone maintain a single torrent containing a snapshot of the full archive at a given point in time, updated (say) monthly?

I want a full mirror, and ain't nobody got time to deal with 2000 torrents, many of which have no seeders. That's a really dumb way to run this particular railroad.

Reminds me of a curiosity seen during a tour of the historic Filoli mansion: An appliance that cooks food by running mains power through it. Apparently someone in the early 20th century thought this was a good idea. I don't remember the exact food it was used for -- maybe hotdogs, or bacon?

And I say no. It's called social economics. The social aspecr is forgotten all to often. You can model markets to whatever complex formula you want and predict market behavior to your harts content.

Extremely hoppy beers aren't just a west coast thing, though; it seems there are a lot of bandwagon breweries that latch onto trends. 10 years ago it was 2k+ (yes, >2000) IBU IPAs, lately it's more sours. SF and Portland seem to be the epicenters.

I feel your comment about the "token" stout; I used to go to the Refuge (https://www.refugesc.com/) quite often but one of the reasons I stopped is because their beer list is so overwhelmingly Belgian and I just want a regular stout or porter now and again.

Yes, there is good, tasty flavor to hops, provided you're not on the sensitive side of the bitter tasting spectrum. The bitter flavor overwhelms everything for some, but not all.

If you're curious, there are bitter tasting test strips like these which not everyone is sensitive to. https://www.amazon.com/Nasco-PTC-Paper-Strips-Vial/dp/B001D7...

The source is from doctors I've had stem cell treatments from. The state of California also has had a lot of difficulty - spending $4 billion on stem cell research, only to run into problems with FDA who greatly limit treatments that the science of regenerative medicine shows to be greatly effective.

There aren't many regenerative medicine doctors at the moment and the public isn't educated enough to push back against the regulatory capture that's currently developing. The doctors themselves are adapting to provide certain treatments outside the jurisdiction of the US, otherwise they will continue to provide treatment - knowing that the centralization efforts of big pharma will increase costs to consumers by 2x; people who are in pain of course are arguably the most desperate and whether a treatment that works costs $5,000 or $10,000 - they will pay it.

I find it a bit weird, that company that created a DynamoDB is now supporting a data store that supposed to be an open source DynamoDB. Does that mean Cassandra is better than DynamoDB since people would still prefer to use Cassandra in AWS?
Yes. This. Exactly.
In my opinion, absolutely. Our brains are incredible machines, but they're still limited physically. The limit is much higher than we think it is today, as expressed by several cases of enhanced sensorial perception, like remote viewing, as disclosed in CIA papers for example. But it's still limited;
The Soviet Union grew it quite extensively, and I believe both Canada, France, and Australia have allowed its growing for a couple decades now. It doesn't seem like in any of those countries it has lived up to the potential pro-hemp boosters claim.

Caper | YC W16 | https://www.caper.ai/ | New York City, Shanghai | Fulltime | Onsite

Caper builds smart shopping carts - powered by deep learning and computer vision - to enable a seamless grab-and-go retail experience. We differ from other emerging cashierless technologies like Amazon Go because we are the scalable solution. Caper’s autonomous checkout technology is plug and play, meaning it requires no in-store renovation, no operational overhaul, no heavy computations or endless image labeling. Any retailers can buy the carts and their entire store is upgraded with cashierless capabilities. Caper costs less than 1% of Amazon Go's infrastructure. We are already live in-stores and our customers love us! See here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/10/25/tired-l...

Did the FireFox people ever explain why they abandoned a more typical version numbering system and instead started releasing a new major version every couple of weeks?
FF is my browser of choice now. I work with large XMLs as a part of my dev process and Chrome is simply unresponsive with large XML files that must display on the page.
Assuming you can cut the etching down to 1m squares and stack them on top of one another that should be no problem at all. Assuming each layer is 1.2mm thick (same as a CD) that's a volume of 1m x 1m x .390m, it would fit easily in a payload fairing of any rocket that can get it into orbit.

> If there is corporate information on a device, it would be a breach of their fiduciary responsibility not to manage that device and have the ability to remotely wipe that data.

I don't think, in a legal sense, that's true. It feels like it comes from the same mindset that corporations have a "fiduciary responsibility" to their shareholders to always put profits above all else; in fact, there's nothing in corporate law or financial regulations that requires that at all.

The IT department has responsibility for network and systems policies and company-owned equipment, and it's perfectly reasonable for them to have the ability to wipe data on that equipment or set policies that disallow personal devices on company networks at all. But they have no requirement -- and I would argue no business -- to wipe a non-company device just because someone added a corporate email account to it.

Does that make it marginally more likely that someone could keep corporate email that they weren't supposed to? Sure. But there are other legal ways of handling that which aren't destructive to non-company property. No one would argue that a policy of "if you take physical work home, upon termination the company can set fire to your house to ensure all copies are destroyed" is enforceable.

> There is almost no regulatory oversight of orthopedic procedures using bone-marrow extracts or platelets, which are regarded as low risk. While the Food and Drug Administration insists that it does have the authority to regulate stem cell treatments, it adopted an industry-friendly approach in 2017 by giving companies a three-year grace period in which to describe their products or treatments so the agency can determine whether they meet the criteria of drugs that would require agency approval. So far, few companies have submitted any information.

> In the meantime, rogue clinics offering other kinds of procedures have flourished, accused of blinding people by injecting cells into their eyes, mixing stem cells with smallpox vaccine to treat cancer or causing severe infections by administering contaminated blood from umbilical cords into patients’ joints or spines. In some of the worst cases, patients had already been harmed before the agency took any action, and the patients took legal steps themselves, suing the clinics that injured them.
I frequently find myself bouncing between them for development, but lately...I'm not really sure why. FF has everything I need. Even a dark mode (Chrome does too, I think).

I can't imagine the cognitive dissonance required to go to university in the U.S. for 4 years then return to China after being exposed to uncensored media.
I think it's pretty bold to post something like this. As a person of color, I absolutely observe bias in hiring processes and recruiting...however as someone who majored in CS it's undeniable that we have far less women and minorities going through these programs.

After I graduated, my university managed to get the number closer to 60/40 of men vs. women but when I graduated there was just one woman in our graduating class. I heard anecdotally from those majoring in EE how they had professors actually discourage them from continuing because they were 'too anxious' about grades and other stuff.

I'm male and I was the only LatinX person in my CS major; there were several more in EE by comparison. Part of the problem might be cultural pressure...my parents were extremely disappointed when I decided to major in 'Computer Science' rather than a major with 'Engineering' in the title. They did not get that it was part of the school of engineering, that for all intents and purposes I was an engineer, and the job kicks ass. They wanted to be able to say I was an 'ingeniero' to family in Peru. I ignored them.

As for bias in interviewing, I think it's really hard for non-POC to understand the more subtle parts of what sucks about interviewing. Even tho I grew up in the states and have been around white people my entire life...there is something about the way most caucasian Americans telegraph (or don't) feelings and communicate during a technical interview that put me totally on edge. I get anxious with the 'Zuck' white guy personality type and somehow these feelings of being poor, being bilingual, going to a shit public school, etc bubble up in my head while I'm trying to rotate a binary tree. The two times I interviewed onsite at Google I couldn't escape the feeling. It felt like the 'whitest' place ever and that everyone I spoke to was Linus Torvalds or James Damore or someone like that. The fact they didn't seem coached to be friendly added dramatically to that effect.

It feels stupid to say but when I interview with people of other races, I feel more confident. When I interview with immigrants as well. It's my personal bias that I need to work against.

EDIT:

I'm not arguing that these anxieties are rational or desirable...they simply exist in my mind and that makes interviewing more challenging. Just as a musician may fear they'll forget their parts when they go on stage even if they are virtuosos, these sources of anxiety are real. For engineering interviews, not acknowledging some of these issues lowers your signal to noise ration. Someone might be a fantastic engineer but a 45 minute interview might present enough anxiety that they won't be able to show it.
General question: Who needs all this high-end, niche(?) services that AWS is cranking out like every week that are presumably even profitable in the long-term?

How is a true integer easier than just pretending a double is an integer? In both cases, you have to be aware of the range of values they can hold to prevent overflow (integers) or rounding (doubles), and you have to be careful not to perform operations that aren't valid for integers to avoid truncation (integers) or non-zero decimal places (doubles).
I haven't seen that anywhere, do you have a link or source?
They can make more money off smart tvs by selling advertising profile info from things like the TV shows watched. Thats why.
I bought a cheap 42" 4k dumb tv made by an off brand which is no longer available anywhere, one of the only ones that I could find without network connectivity, but it's by no means a great TV in other respects. I think if I used it heavily it'd have burnt out a capacitor by now or something. Reviews indicate they are not too reliable.
The world if full of people that like to eat/cook that open a restaurant, like to travel and open a hostel, like to do X and open Y. They all later realize it is a completely different endeavor.
It's about the long term. For hemp, in this case, Let's say 10 tons are captured per year, 1 ton is burned immediately as biomass. 9 tons is converted into goods which have an average duration of 10 years before being discarded, let's assume that they're burned immediately after 10 years, then you can get a net effect of removing 90 tons after the 10 year mark (hitting a steady state because 9 tons extra are being burned every year from that point on). If you can keep that 9 tons out of the atmosphere for 100 years, you remove 900 tons from the atmosphere after a century.

If those goods are discarded in a manner where the carbon isn't immediately re-released, so they're buried or introduced into a bio-system that can consume it and turn the carbon into some other non-gas form, then you can get further gains.
