Please show me some organizations that are a bunch of rich white people who all attended Ivy League schools but are otherwise highly diverse (race, gender, etc.).

That's the problem - you're talking in theory (obviously there are rich black people and they have resources) while ignoring practical reality, which is that race and socioeconomic status are highly correlated to the point where you can't just magically ignore the latter and somehow equitably deal with the former.
But we did draw a line rather than listen. The action of canceling a product because of one groups position and fear of the mob, is forcing an action.

Both the US and UK Coast Guards have osprey deployed for a myriad of reasons. The largest barrier to more widespread deployment is their cost.

As for engaging in good spirit, I would argue the same for you. You seem to be drawing a line for "my outrage" and not listening. See how easy it is to flip flop and try to make someone else out as the bad guy? That's not fair to you, nor to I.

Is your argument that using the Boeing name supports war through purchases? Or is it that the Osprey represent war? Maybe that's where we're not seeing eye to eye here. Is the same argument not applicable to support commercial air travel on Boeing, Airbus, and other companies? All of which build craft and have derived technologies from military craft? In this instance with Boeing, flying on their craft Supports them in the same exact manner?

Lego builds locking plastic toys. The Osprey model, is a non combat designed product model. It does not represent guns, explosives, etc. in any way shape or form. It's simply a Boeing designed craft that is leveraged by the military. It follows all of their existing (though you could argue contradictory) standards. As i've stated, if you don't want kids to have an apache, and Lego has taken that stance, we won't have one. Clearly there is a market here for people and enthusiast that support not only the Osprey, but the concept behind engineering marvels.

What you haven't explained is just because we listen does that mean we have to action? In an instance like this, where it's not forced on people to buy it, can't people vote with their wallet? Where does one groups rights stand over another groups? What if I hold the beliefs that modern medical science is a farce, does that mean that a company should buckle to my position and stop producing medical related toys? No, it shouldn't. This is an example of a small mob of people trying to exert their opinions wether supportive or not, and that's dangerous. If you truly believe in listening we have to do the same for all. Equality is everyone having a right to their voice, equality of outcome is impossible.

This same narrative is being used for all sorts of products and technologies. AI is a big example of where these biases of "my truth is greater than your truth" can be weaponized and used against the very people in the manner in which they think they're preventing things.
Wouldn't that cause an observer effect? If I see my candidate is losing by a landslide maybe I'll change my vote. But I would have been influenced by incomplete data
Slay the Spire implements the gambler's fallacy in a number of places to even things out a bit. For example, the longer you go without finding a rare card or potion reward, the more likely you will find one, you never fight the same elite twice in a row, question mark rooms odds are adjusted to prevent seeing the same type of room too many times, a lot of enemies have semi-random attack patterns so that they don't just steamroll you with big attacks.
The big controversy about this disappeared because of WWDC. Has it picked up again, or were devs mollified by the new APIs and improvements?

And at L2, we'll never be able to upgrade it or even service if something were to go wrong before end of scheduled mission. Something on the moon would be much more accessible for upgrades or basic servicing missions. Even with 2 week on/2 week off schedule, it would be so useful. During those 2 weeks off, it would be charging its batteries. Never would it suffer from cloudy nights.
I think I’m with you now. The nature of a factual claim is that it refers to other things that must be examined in order to determine if it passes or fails a rule, whereas for many kinds of images there is no external reference that has to be consulted: the content is all right there in the image itself.

In which case I’d have to agree! Thanks for taking the time to clarify it for me.

It's a shame. I'd like to work on an online masters in engineering to supplement my bachelor's. The cost for 4 years of an online program that actually has relevant classes of interest is like $50k even with my company paying over $5k a year. That's rediculous. They try to sell it to me based off of the potential earnings it could lead to, but I'm already well established in my industry (capped out on the technical track), so the degree is 100% worthless from a career point of view. I really just want to learn new things. I'd gladly pay some money, but it is currently priced 4x higher than I can ever justify paying. So instead, I buy the textbooks and read in my spare time.
What to do when your GitHub credentials randomly start failing
Voting is very, very decentralized. Votes are conducted at the county level, which is then reported to the state, which then reports to the federal government. The laws each state and even county have on how votes are conducted differ, so different methods are often used, and of course, because of the electoral college, the straight count doesn't always matter anyways.

So, at least for the Presidential election, there's a lot of reason not to do this. It'd also probably be bad to have the counter increment in a voting place when you submit your ballot, because then you would see how the person in front of you just voted, which we don't want, so people aren't bullied about how they voted.

And finally, technology does not actually solve problems: It trades problems we have for new and potentially bigger problems. For instance, if you are reliant on a digital system for counting votes, it is easier to tamper with and harder to verify that tampering has occurred. This is why if you want to be sure your vote actually was counted correctly, you should always vote on a paper ballot if it is offered in your district.

I see it as the opposite: these iPhones are rented to you, and are clearly not what they want to "sell" to people. It's certainly a huge surprise that this exists at all, and I would certainly like more moves in the direction that you mentioned, but I am not sure that this is it.
Insurers: The hand that uses money to reform troubled police departments
You're certainly welcome to prefer more compact UIs on your very large screens, but it's only that: a preference. There are many reasons why other people either prefer or need (i.e. accessibility, touch) larger text and UI elements to be able to use these websites.

I personally prefer (and may well someday need) larger text and UI elements, because my vision and motor skills have gradually declined. I also prefer (and soft-need) lower information density because higher density is a cognitive challenge (ADHD).

> Technically the green key only calls for an extra challenge in facing a buffed elite instead of sacrificing, at least in the latest version.

I don't know if the latest version changed this, but the green key was definitely also a sacrifice -- if you look at the map, paths that allow you to get the green key have one less fire.
Curious what you mean by “pushing the other direction.” I would say the opposite — it seems like everything running on ARM is exactly what it would take for your phone to run desktop programs.

I think there are other downsides to switching off of x86, but I think it strengthens the case for having one small portable computer to do everything. The question is if that device will allow real work like macOS, or if it’ll be stuck as a fancy consumer-only device..
In my experience, this is the go-to chart for understanding financial drivers at the senior leader/board level.

Even the popular plotting libraries in python don’t seem to have an easily configurable version. Recently tried plotly and found it plotting the categories in reverse order from the intuitive way you’d expect to see.

I'm guessing your win rate estimations are super low. For a game with this much depth, the gap between the best players and optimal play is absolutely massive.

For intuition around this, look at how much chess has evolved over the past 400 years. Look at the history for speedruns or the ABC challenge for super mario 64, or look at speedrun histories for other games like golden eye or super mario odessy.

Just based on the fact that this is a relatively obscure game with a lot of complex mechanics, I would estimate that with optimal play, the win rate should be over 99% for all characters. This probably requires the development of a large number of new techniques and play styles, and probably has many surprising optimizations that would seem ground-breaking today.

Making a Living by Creating Memes
I definitely think it can make the games less fun. A few years ago, I wanted to get into modding Skyrim so I watched the tutorial videos from Bethesda. Watching the designers make maps showed that much less care than I thought actually goes into designing them. For example, if two pre-made dungeon tiles didn't fit together, they'd just put some rocks over the seams, and they had a lot of dungeon rooms already created and they'd just paste together in a different order to make a new dungeon. It shattered the illusion that the environment was handcrafted, and I couldn't stop seeing the shortcuts designers took once I knew how they were made. I stopped playing shortly after, and will wait until ES:VI is heavily discounted before I buy it.
the trouble with that solution is that players are aware of the direction of what they'll get and can make action decisions appropriately. if I know one deck is the bad one, I'll avoid actions that result in draws to that deck, unless impossible to avoid.

I think Ignacy wanted there to be ambiguity there.

Many Indian companies (basically US companies with Indian Dev Centers) are still hell-bent on Degrees. I personally know people who have either not taken into consideration because they don't have a Masters (Data Scientist role) / Bachelors (Web Dev role) or their Salary was negotiated below Market-salary due to this fact.

These things are definitely good for knowledge but for employment (Local or International) - Degree - that too from a prestigious Institute (as most Job requirements mention) is very much required!
I would expect it to be exactly the same except that you can debug it, basically. iPhones have a special fuse in them that prevents that from being done on production hardware, and these will presumably have that "unblown". If you want to test on production hardware you always can, this just lets you do research (a metaphor might be that this is "a debug build with symbols, normal iPhones are a "release build".)
What puzzles me in this transition is how does Apple plan to manage lower grade chips yielded by the fabrication. Intel's product line is largely built around the need to sell lower grade chips, rather than having them binned.

What's Apple solution to this problem? Do they design their chips to be redundant (e.g. an 8 core chip is actually designed with 10 cores)? Are they willing to take the loss from binning lower grade chips (take advantage of their high profit margins)? Or have they achieved adequate yield of high grade chips, that this loss is really a non-issue?

>You cannot assume that you have to calculate the NPV of the required pension in 30 years and then contribute that value today

?

Did you not read my post where it said:

> The best answer is something like 1/5 of the NPV of their pension.

Of course nobody is required to pay the entire NPV of the pension today. For an employee that is retiring in 30 years they are required to pay 1/30th of the NPV of their pension each year. That's what the USPS is required to do. They're not being required to pay the entire cost of their employee pensions up front.

Yep, that's why I suggested the biometric ID. But I agree, it's dystopian.

I think such a system would encourage the development of two parallel webs: the above-ground, requires-ID-for-every-http-request web (Facebook, Amazon), and a somewhat shadier, sometimes-or-never-requires-ID-except-in-exceptional-circumstances internet.

Kind of like how bars and grocery stores are supposed to verify your age, but many don't. Or kind of like how there's large swathes of the country where people drive around without driver's licenses or insurance, and it isn't an issue unless they end up in an accident.
> bigger pool sizes ensure potential for a breakout company

Yes, but the payout gets distributed among a larger number of companies. Increasing the pool size lowers the variance, but the expected value remains the same. Lower variance might be desirable for some people (more predictability -- at the limit it's as if you're investing 1% of your equity into an "ETF" of early-stage startups), whereas some people might prefer higher variance (higher potential upside if they join a pool with the next Stripe).

My concern is that if founders contribute 1% of their equity (not 1% of the entire company at exit), the expected value itself is quite small -- on the order of $150K under reasonably optimistic assumptions -- for something like FounderPool to make sense.

On the flipside, increasing the 1% by an order of magnitude might make more sense from a utility maximization point of view, but even less sense from an emotional standpoint.

Recent YC founder here. I disagree with the premise that boring ideas are inherently bad. Stripe is a B2B company that adds an API on top of existing infrastructure. Airbnb is a basic CRUD app.

I also disagree that YC is not funding interesting ideas. Our batch had quite a few. Someone was making a rapid cargo ship. Someone else was making a fully distributed cell network.

The only real copycat ideas were the ones duplicating successful startups for international markets. In my opinion these were obviously good investments.

The social climber phenomenon was real. I think anything that becomes elite will attract them. I’d say, I was impressed that half the batch did not fit this profile.

My sense was that YC actually went out of its way to fund more interesting ideas. I’m sure my startup would not have gotten in, based on our traction and backgrounds, if our idea wasn’t out-of-the-box. (We are bottomless.com, a smart coffee subscription that uses a WiFi scale to ship at the perfect time).

I’d even venture to say that there appeared to be a negative correlation between interestingness and outcome in our batch. It’s possible YC should fund more boring companies, not fewer.
I think the biggest disadvantage of a DIY degree is that there's no one requiring you to take classes that don't interest you. Thing is, when I was studying, I was grossly incorrect about 1) which classes I would come to enjoy, and 2) which subjects I would actually use every day at work. There were lots of things I studied only because someone was making me, but that I found to be incredibly fascinating or useful once I had learned a little about them.

That's the biggest thing I think someone would give up by not pursuing a traditional degree.

Are moderators really meant to watch the whole video in cases like that? It seems to me like they could stop once the content of the video became apparent. Even just a fraction of a second of that sort of content could be scaring, but I think probably less scaring than watching several minutes of it...

My basis for thinking this is I've seen videos like that before and clicked away quickly. It's disturbing, but I think I'm okay.
