> Project Fi isn't supposed to work with Apple phones. Turns out that it does work, somewhat. I hear there's limitations (it only uses the T-Mobile network, none of the international data works)

I have been using Google Fi on iPhone since they allowed it. Supposedly still in beta but works great. It's true that it's limited to T-Mobile (sadly) but it does include international data, same as in Android. Still one of the main reasons to stick with Fi, honestly.

the real luddite argument i keep seeing this supposed tech site are: stereos should have 2 wire and thats it, that there is no reason you could want to network all these gadgets together, it may break right when you need it (literally applicable to everything), etc.

those are just all "im scare of tech and change" arguments that have been about almost every new device created.

The difference is between polymers such as PTFE and PVDF, and the feedstock monomers used to make them. They are completely different materials. PTFE is inert and immortal. It's dead to the world. You can scrape the non-stick coatings off of all your pans and eat it, and there will be no detectable fluorinated chemicals in your blood. PTFE is widely used for medical implants, and has been for over 50 years. Its track record is well established.

The chemicals discussed in the article and in the movie you mention are the feedstocks used to make the polymers, and the surfactants used to form coatings. Those chemicals -- referred to collectively as PFAS -- might be a big fucking problem. They are also inert in a chemical sense, but they're monomeric so they live their whole lives as single molecules, free to pass through biological tissues, where they apparently cause problems. PTFE has no such freedom at any scale; even the finest PTFE dust cannot be absorbed in your gut, and evidence of respiratory hazard of PTFE is pretty much nil until it's burnt, in which case the problem isn't the PTFE but rather the pyrolysis products.

PTFE and PFAS... completely different materials with completely different chemical, biological, and environmental behaviors.

The claim wasn't that there was or wasn't harassment, but that harassment was the cause of the change in policy.
With company-being-an-asshole complaints, there's also game theory issues to keep in mind: because obviously stupid and invalid patents get approved all the time, not patenting something could mean being issued with patent troll lawsuits from a different company that does.

That doesn't necessarily excuse it, but there's definitely more of a motivation than 'because we can' behind what these big companies do, especially considering that most of these patents never get used for anything inherently money-making and so are just cash tossed down the drain in filing fees and time spent.

Dogs are frequently trained to retrieve game, which is never thrown again for their benefit (though some might be given to them to eat). Your model would say that this is unrelated to playing fetch.

But people also train dogs to do all kinds of things. They'll do whatever you want for no other reason than that you want them to do it. (With limits based on the dog's personality and intelligence.)

It all ties in. A lot of dogs are specifically bred for retrieving behavior. (See: "golden retrievers", but newfoundlands are bred to retrieve _people_ from the water, too.) A lot of dogs like interacting with their humans. Both of those are sufficient for many dogs to play fetch. A single-factor model where the reason to play fetch is that you like chasing things misses a lot of reality.

I would recommend Laravel Spark only if the options that it provides are exactly as you need them. In my use-case, I started with Spark, then effectively removed it as my revenue model changed. This was about 3 years ago and I know that there have been meaningful updates since then.

Alternatively, on the admin side, Laravel Nova is an extremely useful admin framework. Some of the out-of-the-box API options for Laravel are also superior to the Spark offerings. YMMV!

If you are talking about the seeming 'wokeness' of this research well yes, that is probably a fair comment. But that would be fine if they actually did a proper experiment. I don't think it is a coincidence that particularly woke research may be of poor quality. I agree with you that a strong idealogical bias is a hazard to generating truth. This is most pertinent in preventing certain types of research from being performed or results from being released. This is mostly a problem for psychology and sociology, which among their other merits have limited impact on actual life.

According to Baez, all the matter fields and radiation fields were in equilibrium at the big bang, so by elimination the answer has to have something to do with gravity (which is, after all, the force driving the formation of the gas clouds, stars, etc). So here's my guess: Evenly distributed matter has gravitational potential energy. By collapsing, a cloud of gas can convert this into thermal energy, raising its entropy. This compensates for the fact that the cloud's volume has reduced, which would reduce entropy on its own.

How did I do? :)

I've been down this rabbit hole for a few years, except making procedural music with code rather than physically playing an instrument. No musical background at all (I started by googling "chord" etc).

My take is, the basics - the math behind chords and chord changes, summarized on the left page of the PDF - are embarrassingly simple; you can know everything there seems to be to know in a weekend or two. However for the application - using those basics to create or understand music - I'm still not entirely sure there's anything to know.

That is, one can find scads of sources online similar to the right-hand page of the PDF, which analyze the structure of some phrase or composition. But it all seems to pretty much boil down to giving names to things; there don't seem to be any generally applicable principles. The closest thing we have seems to be voice leading rules, but they're very much "doing X sounds good except when it doesn't" sorts of things.
I remember that from a class on lasers I took when I was an undergrad. All the physicists thought it was really cool and significant and argued about who was the first to see it coming.

In any case, it sounds extra-ordinarily stupid to travel anywhere with $82k in a tupperware container.

(Assuming the prerequisites of opening a bank account were not the issue).

Seriously, what are they actually thinking? Are they fearful of banks? Is it out of frugality? Even in a 1% interest account, $82k would make a good amount of interest to use for spending.

Hell, imagine if the wrong person happened to get a peek at stacks of cash in someone's backpack? People could get killed in an instant over that.
Related to this is “clean architecture”. Your code should not be dependent on a feature-laden framework. You should focus on writing your business domain and rules, then separately orchestrate your domain, and connect the UI and other external frameworks as interfaces to the lower, or more generic, levels of your application.

This is a general software design principle that allows for your UI to be free to change without affecting your core logic and rules, while also making all of your code more unit testable.

The conspiracy theorist in me says there's something funky going on here.

Sonos has been in the news for the last few months, but before that I had hardly heard of them. I don't own any of their stuff and I don't have any bone in this. I just noticed that their name keeps popping up on reddit, in the news, and here on HN. Mostly it's for negative reasons.

I feel like this is part of some marketing campaign, but almost all of the news has been negative.

First I remember some articles about Sonos going to war with Amazon over something or another last October.

Then there was the controversy regarding "Recycle Mode" thing that bricks their speakers.

Then Sonos sues Google for patent infringement.

Most recently Sonos announced it would not provide software updates for legacy products, CEO apologizes, bla bla bla.

the problem with teaching programming is that people are given user interfaces that hide the fact that you "actually make your computer or phone do stuff". at least that's what i think the bigger issue is.

> not evidence other people weren't scared off because of harassment

If that abomination of a researcher wasn't scared off, it's pretty strong evidence that there wasn't any significant harassment that had a chilling effect on discussion. (You can apply all the "autogynephilia" testing and logic to most cis women and they'll come out with a strong diagnosis. Whatever you think about the nature of transgenderism, applying that particular theory leads to nothing but pain and abuse.)
Not an expert - just guessing. If entropy is a measure of overall degrees of freedom, then even though gas collapsing into stars and planets might seem more “ordered” - the total amount of degrees of freedom is increased. Hence no laws of thermodynamics are violated. Planets and starts are more “complex” systems compared to gas - so there must be much more entropy aka degrees of freedom contained within them.

Something like this maybe?

> If that abomination of a researcher wasn't scared off, it's pretty strong evidence that there wasn't any significant harassment that had a chilling effect on discussion.

Just because one person wasn't scared off doesn't mean they didn't get a lot of harassment. I don't know whether they did or didn't, but the fact that they weren't scared off is not evidence they didn't get lots of harassment.

And that doesn't mean other people weren't scared off. Different people have different tolerances for harassment, and differing degrees to which they want to be involved in a particular matter.

> You can apply all the "autogynephilia" testing and logic to most cis women and they'll come out with a strong diagnosis. Whatever you think about the nature of transgenderism, applying that particular theory leads to nothing but pain and abuse.
