A woman can see her own breasts without aid of a mirror. She cannot see her vagina without some sort of aid.

According to the works of Camille Paglia, the reason we have female strippers but male strippers aren't so much a thing (and she was writing some time ago, so times have changed somewhat) is because after a female stripper has taken everything off, her genitals remain hidden. Not so with a man.

There are some inherent challenges to depicting the vagina. It's hard to put on display "normally." It isn't on display merely because you are standing there naked like with a penis.

What about picking strawberries? Working in a meat-packing plant with a high risk of catching Covid-19? Especially these days, there's way less bodily autonomy in most "essential" jobs than posing in front of a camera.

Condo fees go to a small body controlled by people who pay the tax. Property taxes go to a very much larger body which includes all sorts of people who, for whatever reason, don't necessarily pay the tax directly.

That inclusivity on the basis of legal status, citizenship rather than asset ownership/wealth, is the difference between civil government and a private club requiring buy-in. The requirement to own property in order to participate in government was abandoned long ago, with good cause. That system was horrible.
Yeah, I can't access that Nature link from 1965.

AIUI the math is that the delta in acceleration across a 1m bathtub north-to-south would be 1x10-8 m/s/s due to Coriolis ... so your starting conditions would have to be at a level of perfection that I don't think anyone's achieved, certainly not some bloke in a drafty garage with a kiddy's wading pool one time.

I accept that in theory that delta definitely exists, but I don't accept that it can be, has ever been, observed at the tiny scales of a few metres, let alone the 100mm (toilet flushes) that's typically asserted by the faithful.

I accept that across dozens of kilometres we definitely do see this phenomenon as it generates consistent, hemisphere-dependent, large wind events (eg hurricanes) once you get a good way from the equator.

I think the key flaw in these types of efforts is they ignore the long term success of the democratic process. It feels like once they get a foothold through the existing government bodies, the goal is to largely replace them with their own vision. But how will the people in the community control their own destiny in the long term?

Governance seems to be an afterthought.

You have to give up a little control, but everyone benefits. Alphabet wouldn't exist without the system that gave rise to it, why kill the golden goose?

> The biggest problem with Erlang is that hardly anything out there needs this level of concurrency and robustness in a single system - in the new world of microservices and serverless architectures there are other ways to cope with scaling.

I wondered about this myself before I started using Elixir. In practice, it turns out when it's cheap to make things concurrent more services take advantage of this feature.

Tests and the elixir compiler are extremely fast because of this, and it makes the whole development experience better.

Because the primitives are so simple, people experiment more which makes better software. Nobody would come up with phoenix live view for Play framework in their spare time because play framework is so overly complicated.
part of me is curious if this is a way to appease the administration due to high pressure [0] and wait out the next election cycle. They are talking about 2021-2029.

Even if Trump is reelected, I could see them leasing an existing fab and have a ribbon cutting ceremony for Trump to get his photo-op and then just weigh their options with minimal additional expenditure (they've already commented on opening a fab in US won't be economical [1]) with the thinking that a few $million spent on a lease and avoiding antagonizing Trump might all be worthwhile in any kind of tariffs on their business.

Hotdog / not hotdog
In general the hemisphere with more land likely has more land fulfilling any particular properties that are not inherent to the distinction, and we do know that humans are terrestrial. So ceteris paribus, "might have taken a special type of land combined with a special history of human migration or other factors" is more or less a matter of more land leading to more chance.

It is not a comprehensive explanation. It is quite obvious that there are other variables involved!

But as a simple explanation it has the advantage of being conceivably predictable without hindsight.

> They obviously don't mean it literally in terms of headcount

In what way is this obvious? Per Techcrunch[1], they moved their Pasadena lidar team to SF[2], presumably parting ways with those not willing to relocate. The linked article has a quote from the CEO saying:

> The company will “continue to hire aggressively in the most critical areas within engineering, which right now means doubling down on senior leadership and senior IC roles to further support out improving core tech objective,” Ammann wrote in the memo. “From here we expect to recruit and grow across our engineering teams for the balance of the year.”

That seems pretty definitively contradictory to the claim that they're not hiring or expanding engineering.

This is from probably thirty seconds of Googling, but apparently that's far above the effort bar for topmost top-level comments on HN... (this is in reference to GP's moronic comment, not you).

[1] https://techcrunch.com/2020/05/14/cruise-lays-off-8-of-workf...

That's funny because I love The Diamond Age, I like Snow Crash and thought Cryptonomicon was mediocre at best. I also never made it to the second half of Seveneves because I disliked the beginning so much.

Clearly there are two styles of Stephenson books, and we like the opposite ones.

Maybe I should try finishing Seveneves to see if I like the ending?
It's absolutley arrogant and dishonest to think your intelligence is inherited instead of developed,unless you are an exception. Unintelligent people have hard working kids that grow up to be extremely intelligent,intelligent people give birth to children that end up idiots with negative contribution to society and themselves.

The takings clause is quite interesting and I imagine that between the expansive national security powers granted to the President and Congress's assent, the Court and the Executive might find a way to justify such a taking perhaps by seizing the foreign ownership of the corporation.

Of course the takings clause could also be satisfied by compensating TSMC, which perhaps due to sanctions or congressional action could be tied up indefinitely.
There are many nifty schemes like this, such as compressed air, cryogenics, hydrogen, thermal, different battery chemistries, etc. Efficacy in the form economic scalability is the crucial characteristic.

Of course, being attractive has downsides. So does being tall and also being intelligent. So does being rich. You'll get harrased, you car scratched, become a target for kidnapping and everyone will doubt your achievements as well. A rich person probably can't enter many neighborhoods as well, without a bodyguard.

Being attractive, woman or not, has so many hidden benefits it's impossible to add them all up. You'll be perceived as more intelligent, you'll get more opportunities to be promoted and of course, mating, one of the most important aspects for humans, becomes immeasurably easier. It's probably one of the greatest inequalities there is, along with intelligence and wealth. There are many studies that indicate that subjective well-being correlates with attractiveness. And yet, people seem to be a lot more eager to defend the beautiful, rather than the wealthy. Also note that attractivness is massively important for men as well; note that 80% of all CEOs are above 6 ft tall.
The PH icon is very recognizable...
Actually, this is true. The big question is what's going on behind the scenes. China has been busy building up its own supply chain after the U.S. closed off shipments of any U.S.-based R&D to Huawei last summer. It also has made statements that Taiwan is part of China since then, which has left the U.S. without an advanced-node fab. Intel is at least a node behind both Samsung and TSMC, and the U.S. has no trusted foundry on U.S. soil capable of 7nm volume production, let alone 5nm or 3nm.

For the U.S., this is a potential disaster. If China marches into Taiwan, the U.S. will be left with no advanced-node manufacturing and it will have lost the technology race. It would take at least four to six years to recover, and by that time China would own the market. This is very scary for the U.S., which needs to develop AI chips at the most advanced nodes because density equals more accelerators and other types of processing elements. Even that isn't enough, which is why companies developing AI chips are stitching together chips that are larger than a single reticle. (https://semiengineering.com/the-risk-of-two-supply-chains/)

It goes further than that, too. The DoD needs AI chips, too. In the past, the DoD relied on older nodes. That's changed because it needs transistor density for AI. More MACs equals more performance. On top of all of this, TSMC owns the bulk of the fabless market. So this will happen. The big question is who's funding this move.
No, and no. There is no reason to believe that the USSR would have been able to develop beyond their level of development, that many capitalist nations aren't able to surpass, given the geopolitical and political situation. It seems to me that the fall of the USSR was due to political issues, and an unsustainable political system, more than anything.

China also doesn't require any naval transport from oil shortage. Indeed, it very conveniently has a major oil exporter to it's north. So unless you would wage war on the Russian and Chinese mainland, you have no hope of completely starving China of oil. You might reduce the amount of oil they have, but they have enough reserves to last until a tripling of Sino-Russian pipelines.

If you want a tight timeline, you can still use the traditional application form? I agree that's super valuable if you're in fundraising mode.

However, their target market is bootstrappers, who are probably not actively fundraising.

For example, I'm not fundraising, but I have no problem replying to emails about how things are going. If Earnest finds the progress interesting, maybe we can talk about a partnership. If not, I probably didn't spend much time on it. (This is assuming the Trailhead updates are quick to answer, that remains to be seen.)

The model actually sounds somewhat similar to Pioneer, which also involves continuously providing data without a promised timeline.

Venture capital is a product, and almost no product can cover all use cases. Experiments like this enable VC's to cater to different types of founders.
The primary argument against legalization (or normalization) of sex work is that it leads to increased human trafficking and organized crime. There actually is some evidence to back this up, but I wouldn't call the debate settled.

Leaving aside your apparently poor reading comprehension skills ("doubling down" does not mean doubling), this explicitly contradicts an internal memo leaked to TC:

> The company will “continue to hire aggressively in the most critical areas within engineering, which right now means doubling down on senior leadership and senior IC roles to further support out improving core tech objective,” Ammann wrote in the memo. “From here we expect to recruit and grow across our engineering teams for the balance of the year.”

The worst I can say about this is that Cruise is bad at PR: the fact that people are dumb enough to so badly and confidently misread a message is something that comms people are supposed to plan for and mitigate.

Wouldn't seeding be a problem? You would need to seed from something that supports webtorrent which uses WebRTC.

With dat-sdk, users just need to go to a webpage. You really just need WebRTC without torrents.

I got rid of multiwriter by just having a dat archive for each user, and the users sharing their dat addresses with each other. They write to their own. When that happens, events emit and users listening write to theirs.

If enough users stay on, listening to each other's address, I only need a web client.

Also, if I have offline support, like Workbox Background Sync, I don't even need internet and information transfers device to device with just an offline PWA. At least that's my goal.
I am all for learning by doing and being young doesn't mean that you can't be a very capable programmer. You don't necessarily need a degree and some of the best programmers I know have skipped schools and went directly into the work life. So please believe me when I say that your method of working is not wrong.

I do however find the blog post a bit silly, because I'm pretty sceptical if you actually know what you talk about. I'm currently not even 30 and I've gone through two burnouts and I promise you that the issue isn't with not walking around the office every once in a while. I seriously doubt that you have experienced a burnout especially considering that you're not really even alle to bill for customer work due to your age.

Same goes for working with a team and resolving conflicts. The way you talk about the issues make it very clear that you do not have any real world experience in those matters.

I don't want to be dismissive and I know that this sounds likenit though. It's alright to write about your thoughts on issues, but you also need to realize that due to your age and lack of experience, you're not really in a place to give anyone advice on the matters.

So to be brutal, I don't think you should've posted this as in my opinion it shows immaturity on your part which invalidates a lot of what you're writing about. It's a long road you've got ahead of yourself and I hope you find the introspection within to see what I'm trying to convey.

Good luck!

As someone who works in film production I am so done with adobe creative cloud. I use FCPX because I can’t stand how inefficient adobe is on a Mac. It grinds your processor for no reason and renders at half the speed it should. After effects is way better than Motion but it’s just not worth it. I spent $300 in 2011 and FCPX has been flawless (well...after they fixed that first year or so of problems haha). With FCPX having a one time payment and davinci resolve being free, I just can’t justify adobe’s relatively expensive monthly payments when it’s so inefficient and insecure. And the updates!
