You write: "the order that plants, water animals, land animals, flying animals, and humans are created seems to match what you might derive from evolution theory"

I don't see that. Genesis 1:21 says "great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind" were created on the 4th day, and "every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind" were on the 5th."

Evolution theory has that whales specifically (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_cetaceans ), and all marine mammals, evolved first on land then entered the sea. The same for winged creatures.

Additionally, the Bible has two creation stories, with different orderings. Genesis 2 has man created before animals.

Genesis 2:7 - "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

Genesis 2:19 - "And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them"

I'm not trying to be cynical, but I am pointing out their behavior.

The example I gave was not complete. They load adobe too (through demdex). Actually, when I unblock their page, I see googletagmanager.com, demdex.net (which is adobe) and monetat.net.

Their privacy policy both explains that they don't accept money from advertisers, yet it also explains how the advertisers can target you and how to (laboriously) opt-out with each advertiser.

There is also an Ad choices link at the bottom of their main page.

Yeah you do.
This analysis ignores the death potentiality which is the thing that strikes fear in people with nuclear. Even if the given numbers are true, (note that the official deaths from Chernobyl are 31 but the upper estimates are 93,000 - according to HBO), solar has the death potentiality for a few more people to fall off a roof, a battery to explode etc. These would be single digit fatalities if at all fatal.

The death potentiality of a Chernobyl/ Fukishima etc could reach the hundreds of thousands or more. The likelihood of this is probably very low, but non-zero. The likelihood of solar or wind having a catastrophic fatality event (that affected uninvolved civilians) is zero.

Given this, if all other things are equal, renewables are the favourable choice.
Because an HSL value translated directly to sRGB will look different when translated to P3. The color spaces themselves define different ranges of R, G, and B. The only backwards-compatible method to derive P3 colors from HSL values would be with saturation and lightness values greater than one.
Really? I, for one, think it's very important to work somewhere that pays its tech debt on time.

We had recently experiment in remote working for two months. I've been doing this one-off for couple of years but I was living with other people who were doing it first time. If you throw normal office workers into remote work situation, without guidance and active management this is what we found:

- if there is local issue stopping work(no electricity for example), it is taken as a chance not to work, instead of solving this issue with the best of their capabilities(keep you batteries charged, go to a cafe etc). When working remotely, it is now workers responsibility to create a work environment.

- all the problems are relayed to the manager, but not the good things or done work. This creates a negative image together with next.

- they rather even avoid regular communication, than try to go extra mile with communicating while working because it is hard and out of they comfort zone.

- discipline to regular working is hard specially in the beginning. This impacts work.
Oh my god, thank you for mentioning this project. I just deployed ZeroTier for some local infra, but in doing investigation, I was desparately trying to find the Nebula project name and GitHub. I was looking for "beacon", "lighthouse", "bastion", "ZeroTier compete" and everything in between. I even knew it created at some prominent tech company (kept thinking Netflix, of course it was Slack). I was starting to think that I'd concocted a false memory and it didn't really exist.

So now I gotta go decide if I want to rip out all my existing ZT infra or not.

Years ago one doctor (IIRC a general practioner) noticed that all his diabetes patients taking metformin never got cancer. So he wrote a letter about it. I've lost the cite.

Today everyone, even doctors, knows that high blood sugar levels increase the odds of cancer AND diabetes. That's why everyone and his dog is taking metformin and why that drug is almost always the first ingredient included in "life extension" cocktail drug tests.
I have been supplementing with varying amounts of D3 since 2010. That year a housemate had come down with a bad flu and I handed him 4000IU as an "anti-inflammatory". The next day he knocked on my door ecstatically and asked what that was. His symptoms had nearly disappeared.

And in the past decade, I can count only a few times when I was struck hard by cold or flu, and they were when I had let supplementation trail off. When I'm having it daily, then the typical inflammatory symptoms only appear near or past the peak of the infection, and otherwise it just presents as tiredness and scatterbrained thinking, which I have learned to notice and pay some attention to.

I currently believe that some theraputic benefit may continue up to 8000 IU or so, but this is purely guesswork on my part, having tried amounts higher and lower. What I am confident in saying, having reviewed the research recently, is that there is some clinically studied, but poorly understood positive correlation between vitamin D supplementation and regulation of cytokine production, which is crucial for surviving the symptoms of respiratory diseases of this type.
This is a big deal, IMO. this starts the clock ticking. maybe Waymo wont care if it takes a long time to get return on their investment, but a lot of outside investors will want return quickly. Waymo going after investors tells me that they believe they can start rolling out soon enough to actually seem attractive to investors.

If you asked a researcher on fairness and discrimination in machine learning, "what's an application where ML could go horribly wrong", they would describe exactly this kind of example.

I don't know a thing about this company, maybe they're doing great work. But here are the alarm bells.

- Application domain is extremely difficult even for humans who get in-person interviews with the subject. Claiming to solve a task with ML that humans cannot reliably solve is a symptom of snake-oil.

- Compounding this, feedback is very limited and noisy. It's hard to tell if your algorithm is doing a good or bad job. So it's very hard to train the algorithm to do better.

- Data is likely to be low-quality (because humans can't even label this task well). Much worse, data is likely to reflect human biases, conscious and unconscious both. Racist or sexist data lead to racist or sexist algorithms.

- Algorithms in the space are highly susceptible to learn stereotypes (even from apparently-unbiased data). We can expect tons of noise in most features of an applicant, while more reliable signal would come from very generic features like what college someone attended or other factors closely tied to race or socioeconomic background.

- Feedback loops can be a problem if the algorithm is fed data that is produced by the algorithm. I.e. the algorithm mostly recommends men (let's say) and is fed positive feedback, it will discriminate even more against women and so on.

On a more personal note, it's not clear the premise of the task makes sense. A diverse team will have a greater mix of perspectives, which may make it more effective even if its 'culture fit' score is lower.
People keep suing until they are forced to explain every decision the black box makes and a couple of defense attorneys do some data analysis and puts the prejudice in front of a jury.

Sadly, I expect this is one of those "make it to expensive to use" situations.
Socialism is simply the workers own the means of production. A hybrid model exists in Germany which mandates that workers are representative by half of the board of directors.

Democracy is compatible with socialism, so are free markets. Owning money to control businesses is not. The people who do the work are in charge.

Having just read Targeted (https://www.amazon.com/Targeted-Cambridge-Analytica-Whistleb...) This story has a completely different angle, and I have the feeling some people are trying to take credit for other peoples work.
As I understood the paper, their production version is called überproxy and has access to everything they host, as they moved their applications all on to it (notably, this means SSH now has to go through chrome).
I've seen many people append a version to the package name. So they could have done `protobuf.v2` (granted the original would be missing a version but still, at least this is more explicit)
Swartz's article mentioned at the end is interesting, and contradicts Wales' study, who measured by number of edits per contributor instead of number of contributed words per contributor.

"When you put it all together, the story become clear: an outsider makes one edit to add a chunk of information, then insiders make several edits tweaking and reformatting it. In addition, insiders rack up thousands of edits doing things like changing the name of a category across the entire site — the kind of thing only insiders deeply care about. As a result, insiders account for the vast majority of the edits. But it’s the outsiders who provide nearly all of the content."
huh? you don't have this right.

Modigliani-Miller refers to the financial structure of your corporation, GE in this case: it refers to the mix of capital that GE raises from investors (debt + equity). To give a simple example to illustrate, the value of your lemonade stand as a business is based on your revenue minus your costs, it's based on your "business". You need to raise money to buy your raw materials and equipment to get started or expand? Whether you borrow that money or sell shares in your lemonade stand does not change the value of your business. The bit about absence of tax incentives is because you can write off the interest on debt from the income taxes, but the dividends you pay actually get taxed, so there is an incentive for the equity holders to raise some money via debt rather than equity; but the point that M&M makes remains true.

GE Capital did not fund GE, so M&M doesn't apply.

M&M would apply to GE's ownership of GE Capital, but if all the debt and equity is owned by one entity there really isn't a difference between them (see Humpty Dumpty, back together again).

It's quite common for large industrial companies to have large credit arms: oil companies extend credit to gas stations to buy their gas, just like automobile manufacturers finance car purchases. GE was no different. Leveraging their expertise in finance was a natural extension of the business, and financial firms sometimes fail like any other business, whether they are standalone or wholly owned subsidiaries.
Ah, I'm in the same train as you.
if there is local issue stopping work(no electricity for example)

That seems like a better case than the same issue stopping work at the office so instead of one person out of commission, there's 100 people out of commission and even though they can all go home and work it's basically going to shut down work for an hour or so as they all pack up and head home. Our office has a generator, but it only powers some lights and elevators, the network goes offline after about 20 minutes when the UPS batteries run out.

So it doesn't seem like much of an argument against remote work.

No, the IP whitelist is only to allow access to the network entry point. So if you had a VPN, it would open the port to the VPN server. In our case, it opens the port to the cordoned-off SSH-based network entry point. It's not the replacement of an existing authorization layer; its an addition where one usually isn't found.
People keep telling me that there are "senior devs" who can't do fizzbuzz either.

2. Many remote companies have employees across cities and smaller towns - building or renting these hubs everywhere will not be economical.
