It’s an increase of 1.25% of milkfat across the entire product. It’s one half a teaspoon more milkfat in an 8 oz glass of milk.

As a point of comparison with another milky product - the flavored latte - flavor shots are 1/2 an oz (2.5 tsp) each, and two are added to an 8oz latte.
>In the UK at least it's pretty easy to get close to, if not over, 50% if you're earning Google SWE salaries. The marginal rate hits 62% at £100k, and that's not including the "stealth" payroll tax known as Employer's NIC.

Can you explain how you got this figure?

https://www.gov.uk/income-tax-rates says that the rate at 100K is 40% and 45% at 150K

It looks like this suffers from the same problem as Key Values - the search is an 'or', not an 'and'. I want to know which companies meet all my desires, not just one.
> World poverty has decreased and yet population has increased.

I think the demographic transition model applied on a per-country basis explains that quite well (and also makes clear that there is no immediate cause for concern based on population alone).

Moxie has always gaslit users with legitimate concerns because addressing them would mean giving up power. Signal is a self serving design and driven by self serving decisions. I've written about this in depth before:

https://drewdevault.com/2018/08/08/Signal.html

I still stand by everything I said here, and lots more that goes unsaid in this article. Every single weird decision Signal makes is not because they've reasonably decided to come down on some side of the fence that others haven't - it's because their decisions serve moxie's wants above anyone else.

In the UK, if your salary is £100,000 your take-home pay is £66,535.84 - a tax rate of 33.4% - according to [1]. That rises to 41.5% if you earn £200,000, and even if you put the salary up to a billion pounds a year, it only shows a tax rate of 47%.

I suppose it might be possible to pay more than half your income in tax if you were, say, spending ten to twenty thousand pounds a year on cigarettes and strong spirits?

The history of China is a history of near constant rebellion, that is ultimately quashed by central government. They worry about rebellion, they prepare for it. the current regime was ultimately born of revolution, and any revolutionary government is constantly paranoid about counter-revolutions, it becomes part of the DNA of the ruling class to worry about this stuff.

Combine this with food riots being the fastest and oldest way to lose control, and it's remarkable you're even asking the question. It's like someone asking if the air can even be polluted, after decades of regulation have been implemented to control it. Well, yeah... just remove the regulations and see what happens.
Except that if 2 and 3 don't work, you've fallen behind your competitors. And have even less money and influence to continue pursuing 2 and 3. So no, I don't think you're right.

> But if that is your definition of gambling then every human gambles every single day just by living.

I would indeed argue that this is the case, but that's probably not useful for the purposes of this discussion. :)

> Personally I don’t think minimizing risk as far as I can is a particularly enlightened or interesting way to live ones life, but to each their own.

That's perfectly fine, and I'm not trying to dissuade you or anyone else from actively trading if it is interesting and enjoyable to you. (FWIW I have also made very good returns doing this in the past, and had a lot of fun doing it—I only stopped because my risk tolerance changed.) But, except in specific circumstances[0], to call it anything but gambling is a bit disingenuous, and statistically speaking, you will most likely underperform the market.

[0]: In particular, if you have something that most other investors don't, such as data/information, faster algorithms, etc, it's entirely plausible that you can have an edge on the market and tip the odds in your favor. But this does not describe the vast majority of investors, let alone individuals doing this in their free time.
two pizza team = 8 ICs max reporting

every 8 ICs + 1 manager = 9

every 8 managers = 1 director = 8 * 9 + 1 = 73

every 8 directors = 1 sr director = 8 * 73 + 1= 585

every 8 sr directors = 1 VP = 8 * 585 + 1 = 4681

every 8 VPs = 1 SVP = 8 * 4681 + 1 = 37449

every 8 SVPs = 1 EVP (c level exec) = 8 * 37449 + 1 = 299593

Clearly the problem is one of the large distribution of team sizes, rather than just "have less VPs".

Japanese, Turkish Prosecutors Begin Probes into Ghosn’s Escape
By 2030 there will at least one small settlement on Mars, population at least 100 but more likely 1,000.
One of my MBA classes on designing an organization mentioned a significant change when moving from collectivity stage ("charismatic", "empowering") to formalization stage (bureaucratic, most desired by individual managers, principal-agent at play). It looks like Google was able to delay this jump longer than most companies but in the end couldn't avoid it. From what I've heard recently from former employees, JetBrains is another company that is undergoing a similar shift; in the past half of their "escapees" returned back from Google/Facebook within a year, expressing displeasure with those companies, now they are jumping ship as well...
A lot of the land around Australia is being cleared for housing and agriculture: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/mar/05/global-d...

Immigration puts a greater demand on land for that purpose. Plus, a greater population in Australia means a net increase in global emissions - since the vast majority of migrants are from three poorer countries: India, China, Nepal.

Widespread illegal logging is occurring - but the logging is by a Government-owned corporation, so it receives little attention: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-21/victorian-forests-app...
SCSI system, already pulled the controller out and disconnected the backplane. Really weird this one. But thank you for the suggestion. In fact, that's the whole reason I want to boot it, the drives are a hardware raid which is hard to port to a machine where the controller won't fit.
Encrypted data does not look like noise. It looks very very different from noise. If not, the entire concept of communications engineering wouldn't exist. We're always looking for the next sharply bounded filter.
Pulsar docs indicate "millions" of topics but IDK what 50 million would look like but from what I know I would be a bit nervous about it :)

It might be worth chatting with Pulsar devs on their slack community (https://apache-pulsar.herokuapp.com/).

Most commonly what I hear people doing for this is either one of two approaches (or a combination of both):
- encrypt the user data and delete the key, eventually the user data will get removed
- regularly compact the topic (pulsar has a compaction feature) and write in a tombstone record which will remove any user data after compaction
Perhaps this is extremely wrong and naive, but it feels like it's relatively "easy" to avoid Microsoft data mining. I don't use Bing, I don't use Outlook for personal stuff (only work emails), I don't use MS Office, and I don't use Windows. Whereas almost every website I visit probably has a Google tracking service on it (Google Ads, Google Analytics, etc.)
> The problem with SemVer is that library owners are not strict with its intended usage

The worst case I saw was when someone was just appending 9's to the version number every release (0.99999 -> 0.999999). I think this was a joke about asymptotically approaching version 1.0. The effect was that some error message when solving dependencies came out as "X wants version 0.99999999999, but Y wants version 0.99999999999". Very annoying!
That feeling ought to be mutual.

I don't really understand US tech companies that trust China. Especially after the CPC's operatives were caught fishing in Gmail accounts for political dissidents.
AI proves P != NP. The proof is 20K pages and not comprehensible by humans, who spend the next 30 years deciphering it, by which time the AI has proved the five remaining millennium problems. The AI elects to keep the Clay Prize money each time and donate it all to homeless chia pets, thus proving general-purpose AI is still a ways off.
I was not commenting about myself. Simply correcting your mistakes. You are not a very sophisticated retail investor and it’s wrong for you to opine to others like this in the face of substantial evidence.

The problem with that is that, even though PostgreSQL has some great functionality for pub/sub and queues, most Django queue systems don't use them by default. Most of the ones I've seen resort to polling (which might be fine, depending on the use case), which is suboptimal.

Otherwise, I agree, I would love to be able to use Postgres for queues, and I think there is a Dramatiq Postgres backend that will do queueing properly (EDIT: Yes, Dramatiq-PG).
This has been said about many companies in the past and it is rarely the case. Compared to the infrastructure needed to compete with Standard Oil, the railroads, or telecom, the capital expenditure to create a new tech company is miniscule.

Founders just need to not sell out. Look at the rise of TikTok. Even with search, DuckDuckGo with its privacy focus is starting to encroach on Google.
Even if you just take SVP don't they have like a hundred of them? I feel it would go a lot better if they put more wood behind fewer arrows (VP+ people). Then maybe a few projects would stick.

Clustering pattern of Azteca ant colonies may be due to a Turing mechanism
I wish I could put my finger on it, but there is a huge disconnect between economic reality and the current financial situation across most of the world. It seems to me, perhaps simplistically, that every central bank is simply issuing money to generate growth and this can't be sustainable. Our biggest industry would appear to be buying, renting and selling assets to each other.

My apartment overlooks a city of 1 million people in the UK - I estimate generously that 50,000 of them are economically productive in the sense of producing something of value that can be 'exported' from this city. The other 950,000 must live off that value - it doesn't make sense. All factories are flattened to make way for apartments. Any industrial development is of distribution centres for breaking down pallets of imported tat.

I don't know what this will lead to - perhaps it's the collapse of the Euro, the rise of some stable currency that isn't playing this game, or an opportunity for a new currency (crypto or something that we don't have yet).

Just as the LIBOR scandal revealed that commercial banks were just making up numbers, so I believe that central banks are doing the same with each other and trust will need to be removed from the system.
Philosophy from the very beginning concerned itself with exactly those questions. Some of that was subsumed into religion and science at some point but they are all very much in the realm of philosophy, classically and currently.

I’m not religious, and I think I have fairly conclusive answers to those questions drawn from philosophy — there’s no soul or life after death and no inherent meaning to life.

If you’re going to argue that’s exclusively the realm of religion, then what were nietzche and Plato and Sartre doing?
> - The next big thing will be something totally unknown and unpredictable now, as user-generated content and social networking were in 1999. However, when it does appear, various 'experts' on it will spring from nowhere to lecture us all about it. It will still be really cool, though.

I think this basically describes AI.

I don't know if it's required by law or just what airlines choose to do, but I'm always asked to show my passport when I'm getting on an international flight to leave the USA (and I'm a U.S. citizen).

For all I know, they just do this to avoid the problem of their passenger not being admitted at the other end. But as a practical matter, I do have to show a passport (for a public flight, anyway).

1. Decentralized open source social networking platforms

2. Ownership of data, end-to-end encryption

3. Collaborative wiki news, copyleft drug research

4. The rapid emergence of a third party in the USA that is neither left nor right, but much bigger than Libertarian party

5. Decentralized solar power generation, Decentralized mobile mesh network communication, Nuclear Fusion, Decentralizing government functions

The best way to predict the future is to invent it ;-)

But also:

6. Drones filling the sky and terrorism scares

7. Self driving cars and terrorism scares

8. Insect and bird populations plummeting and many species going extinct

9. Water shortages, droughts, desertification and food shortages as humans cut back on meat, abolition of factory farms

10. The steady emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is averted with phage therapy and other approaches as antibiotics see a slow decline

11. The resurgence of liberal democratic politicians, who nevertheless will have tough border policies because of the increasing influx of refugees

12. The rise of NATO-style forces against China and a new cold war

13. Introduction of UBI funded by Pigovian taxes on Cabon and Plastic pollution, destruction of ecosystems, etc.

14. First biosphere colony on Mars lasts for a while but is a tragic failure

15. Solar storm wipes out power grid, helping build a decentralized power grid
> You only have their word that they don't store any of that information.

No, we have the fact that they don't collect it in the first place. The whole point of the Signal design, reflected in the published source code, is that the server doesn't need this type of information and so it isn't sent to their server at all.

As Thomas explained this takes a bunch of extra effort in the Signal design, hoop jumping that normal users will never appreciate. Moxie believes this is worth doing, although I think people's constant cynicism is gradually wearing him down or maybe that's just the jetlag.

If you tell me and Alice and Bob your real name, and then it's leaked to the press, I guess I sympathise if you distrust me as a result even though Alice is a famous gossip.

But if you only gave Alice your name, and then you distrust me because she sold it to the press that makes you a crazy person. "It could have been anyone". No, it couldn't, it was Alice. She's the only person you gave it to.

Having worked on compilers for pretty weird architectures, it's generally the case that the less like a regular CPU your architecture is, the more difficult it is to compile.

In particular, when you change the system from having to worry about how to optimally schedule a single state machine to having to place operations on a fixed routing grid (à la FPGA), the problem becomes radically different, and any looping control flow becomes an absolute nail-biter of an issue.
To me the interesting question is: What cool things were predicted and still don't exist, but could if someone from that thread had spent the past 10 years trying to make it happen?
I think this would work way better as a privately-led effort than a matter of law. Look for struggling companies with interesting "IP" assets that are currently heavily undervalued by the market (because it's hard for an individual, private buyer to make a profit on them). Buy the assets and open them up. Yes, it takes some money and resources - but how much, compared to re-developing those assets from scratch?

Yes no doubt they’ve found it safe when allowing for the effects to fully wear off and at a certain dosage. Chemicals of this class are similar in structure to serotonin itself and do the opposite of SSRIs. This would mean the therapy is meant to go straight through problems regarding depression not simply make one happier.
Generally speaking psylocibin is more prone to culminate in a really bad trip than delysid if the participant doesn’t have their mind settled! This is also dependent on how it’s isolated and from what. Oregon azurescens raised in wood chips is much more mellow and yet stronger than other varieties for example. Migraines are an extremely good use case but factors of depression can vary so wildly I’m not really convinced it would be a silver bullet. If nothing else works then maybe it would do the trick. Don’t play with magic unless you want to be tricked.
So set up an `at` job to ping it at 6am? Or just ping it constantly and filter the response.
