It's still too early to say and we don't have enough visibility. Pairing North's tech with Google's distribution would expand the reach and potential of this type of product. North could've been running out of money before the acquisition so Google swooping in ensured the tech lived on. These are all plausible outcomes that would end up being "better for society"

I think the concern many people have (and rightfully so) is that the economy is not a static system. Any artificial offsets (UBI) will just get priced into every agent's value calculation.

The thing that gives "Capital" power is that you have it, no one else does, and you're trying to transform it into some arrangement that over time creates more value than it consumes.

The transformation applied can absolutely be done incorrectly, making subsequent capital value transformations more difficult to accomplish profitably given greater constraints on the means the capital allocator can bring to bear.

Nothing about UBI substantially changes the nature of that system, therefore, the real problem to be solved, (the asymmetry of means between capital allocators) given a system that optimizes toward capital control centralization (more capital fewer hands) without also being paired with wealth ceilings via tax extraction at the top and reinjection at the bottom.

Someone I was close to was a former Seventh Day Adventist and I remember riding in a car with their father listening to an audio book retelling of the story of the beginnings of the religion, which consisted of a series of wild predictions of the date of rapture followed by disappointments and a new "corrected" date.
I couldn't understand how the modern church could so openly embrace an origin story that seemed to me to undermine the legitimacy of the entire religion, paint it as founded by charlatans. But for believers the same facts seemed to have the opposite effect.
I still don't really understand it but I think about it often in situations like this Q stuff.
I cannot agree. Not only English seems to have many homonyms (the word "spring" alone has more than 2 meanings), its grammar is also somewhat primitive.
Let me bring one more example, this time another way around: Google Translate from German to Russian.
The verb "tragen" ("to wear") is translated as "износ" ("a wear") which is a noun. Using English we lose important knowledge: we have no clue what part of speech the word "tragen" is.

This isn't an issue for any considerably long fragment of text, it will be properly translated due to context analysis. Still if the text would be analyzed using German in the first place, this would become less of a problem.

The "2fps" example was an arbitrary hyperbole that by itself is worth nothing as a claim or statement.

Moreover, it's not up to you to decide what's acceptable or not to a 3rd party, specially if your claim is being made to justify choosing between being able to use something that performs below par or not be able to use it at all.
Pro tip: If you ever find yourself in a semi-professional discussion, I would avoid referring to democracy, human rights, and individual freedoms as "Western values." Attaching a specific cultural and anthropological carte to what I view more as universal values that have yet to take roots universally, is exclusive and counter-productive. For one, China went through a period of Western domination starting in the 19th century, and Chinese people haven't forgotten that. Asking China to follow Western values in this context is about the worst thing you can say. Just because these concepts originated in the Western world should not preclude one from putting them in the context of the larger human enterprise. Do not ask, "Why shall China not walk in the footsteps of the West in giving its people the right to shape their destiny?" Ask, "Why shall the Chinese people not be at liberty of shaping their own destiny?"
I feel I'm almost in your boat, but then I remember I use to always watch TV once or twice a week with my wife, go to church (well, kind of, not the mainstream one) on Sundays whwn I am allowed to and I always turn in my timesheets a day or two late ;-)
That seems to be the problem with increasingly bigger and dominant companies. They kill or buy new competitors before they can get traction. In the end society as a whole loses big time because a lot of innovation gets lost. I really hope there will be a trend where companies beyond a certain size get viewed as a negative and discouraged.
It very well might be good for the copyright holder. There is obviously a benefit to buzz around your content, and piracy helps generate that buzz all the same. It's not cut and dry.

What's more, brands like UFC have other ways of generating revenue than just licensing fees. A person may not be able to afford a subscription, but they might still be eager to buy an official UFC T-shirt.

"We find movies with prerelease piracy are associated with lower revenues despite the [Word of Mouth] effect. Critically, however, we show a positive correlation between postrelease piracy and WOM volume, and we extend the field by finding that the presence of postrelease piracy is associated with an approximately 3.0% increase in box office revenue. We also note the impact of a raid by the Swedish Police that temporarily took down The Pirate Bay website in December 2014. The period when the site was down experienced a decline in WOM volume and revenues, consistent with the effect of lower postrelease piracy predicted by our models."

What? This article makes absolutely no sense.

How is buying a company that clearly was not doing well financially (acquisition price at $150m, ~$200m raised with the last $40m being a debt financing, so it is a bail out), in what is clearly messaged as an acqui-hire for talent, in any way comparable to Amazon using its investment arm to acquire confidential information and replicate company products?

Respectfully, the author doesn't seem to understand what's actually going on here, this seems like a standard acqui-hire for future work on a smart glass product within Google. I highly doubt North didn't know they were going to be discontinuing the Focus before the acquisition closed.

What would have actually been unethical is waiting for North to run out of money and then try to hire their people at lower salaries or something.

As much as I hate Trump, I must admit that the alternative at the time involved continuing to pretend China is an ally.

HRC was a principal driver of the Trans Pacific Partnership. I've heard claims that it was about containing China but they've always come with no citations. My general understanding was that the TPP would have made it easier to outsource to China even more, harmonizing (at least on paper) IP law to allow more outsourcing of things like programming, radiology, CAD, IT, accounting, paralegal, etc., which could have been a final nail in the coffin of the US middle class. These are among the last upwardly mobile middle class jobs that remain in the United States. While it's true that US manufacturing remains a large component of GDP, automation and efficiency gains have made it a declining contributor to employment.

I categorically cannot vote for Trump because he is a racist and is associated with fascists (categorical blacklist in my mind) and is personally constitutionally unfit to be president, but I fear that Biden will return us to a course of pretending China is a friendly nation. Like the last election where I unhappily voted against Trump (not "for" HRC), there is no good choice.

The motive for our China policy is of course the same as the motive for looking the other way at Saudi human rights abuses and their role in 9/11: money. Had Hitler found a way to line American pockets, I wonder if that holocaust thing would have mattered.

Wrong. ISPs comply at their service level. They provide a service, thus they are barred from providing it to their customers if their service violates the law.

Facebook's service is breaking the law, thus the court determined it should not. That's the point.
>the entire first wall is thick flowing liquid lithium

Yeah, I agree on the liquid walls. I think the optimum might be to have a thin Li first surface flow that is relatively cool, then a shell of SiC, and behind it a PbLi breeding blanket that can be at higher temperature. There's a trade-off because the first-surface can't be made too hot or the evaporation will pollute the plasma, but getting high thermodynamic efficiency means using higher coolant temperature. The thickness of the liquid first-surface plays into the lifetime of the SiC shell -- more shielding in front of it means longer life (so lower maintenance costs & higher reactor up-time, and less radwaste), but lower thermal conversion efficiency on average.

There are problems of course -- corrosion by Li, splashing of droplets into the plasma, MHD drag & pump power requirements, incompatibility of lithium with many forms of sensors & actuators for plasma control.... (OTOH, most sensors and actuators can't tolerate radiation anyway, so fancy control techniques just don't stand a chance in a reactor anyway. We need boring, stable plasma configurations that just sit there and work.)

I'm wondering if he'd still feel like quitting had it been making ton of money.

One thing I've noticed is any passion project that becomes too much like work starts to feel like a chore and the passion for it disappears. I don't think making money off of it would change that.

I've learned that when I do side projects, I need to think of it as having fun and playing. And with that, you accept to stop something and move on to something else as soon as the enjoyment is gone, and maybe come back to it later if the interest shows up again. It's hard, because you can let this feeling of "failure" creep in, like you haven't finished anything, or accomplished any of the projects you were excited about. But if you accept that your goal isn't to actually get anything accomplished, but only to entertain yourself and have fun doing things you're interested in, it helps with that, and makes the whole thing much more healthy.
Thanks, will dig into researching this.

Can’t speak to that person’s routine, but really depends on what your goals are.

I have no time goals or plans for an oraganized race. I just like to be in shape enough to do 30+ mile efforts about once a month w/ a 20-25 mile long run once a week and keep that up without injury.

My training is pretty simple.

I do 10 miles 2-3x a week. Mostly on flat roads but ending up at a nearby trail that has ~1,000 feet of climbing over 1.7 miles. My speed on the uphill section varies pretty wildly but by feel each effort feels nearly identical, tiring but by the time I finish I’m nowhere near exhausted. Average time for this route is probably 2 hours and 5 minutes (I did it 110 times last year).

On my long run day I try for around 20 miles with 2,000 - 3,000 feet of climbing. Sometimes instead of that, I’ll do a tougher 12-15 mile route with a similar amount of elevation. Again my goal is low to medium intensity with enough left over for another run the next day. My average pace here might be 12-15 minute miles.

I always run the day after the long run, usually 7-12 miles either flat or my 10 mile route described above. Just going off feel and what I’m capable of.

About once a week I do some kind of short fast intervals just because I like it. Something like 3x2 mile at a pretty fast pace (for me), like 8:15 per mile. Or 4 x 5 minutes at a little faster pace. Super easy jogs between intervals.

That usually adds up to 40-50 miles a week. I’ll drop down to 30-35 if I want a break.

When I’m at my “peak” fitness, I have no problem stretching the 20 mile long run to 30 or so. But it does take a little more recovery than I like and the risk of injury does seem to go up a bit.

My goal is healthy long distance running for decades so low intensity relaxed running is key for me.

> A company is ultimately controlled by it’s owners who may prefer dividends.

If the reason they "prefer" dividends is not because they evaluated the alternatives and decided that the risk-return profile was favorable (for the company, not for themselves in particular)), then they are acting against the interests of the minority shareholders. That may carry legal consequences or not, depending on your jurisdiction. In my country (Brazil), there are laws protecting the interests of minority shareholders. If you have 51% of a company that is listed on the stock exchange, you have significant but not unlimited power.

Also, maybe the company sees it as a risk that, in reducing the dividend, it may suffer in the short term due to the outflux of shareholders who see it as a dividend play. In that case, the risk-return profile of paying zero dividends is not favorable.

Given the capacity of the network, it is more likely that you would be paying 20x-100x as much, per byte, and would get perhaps the same factor, as the denominator, in terms of data cap. Comcast has several times the capacity of the entire Starlink global constellation in each real PoP.

He's saying the photographer specifically stacked the frame to increase the interference of the satellites. The same basic technique can be used in either direction - astronomers already use it to remove the thousands of satellites and other causes of interference in the night sky.

Edit: Actually, you can even see some satellites in the shot when he sets the layers to 'lighten' that are totally gone when he finishes the stacking.

People know the difference between the web and apps, and the whole point is that people trust in app purchase app purchases more than they do entering their card details into browsers.

Clearly a browser that didn’t let you enter text would have been unacceptable and the iPhone would have failed as a product.

On the other hand, it’s clear that Apple does actually see this as a serious problem, which is why ApplePay for the web exists, and I know quite a few people who feel far safer with websites that use it.

The argument that Apple hasn’t yet made the web safe for their users even though they are working on it, therefore they should abandon the safety have managed to achieved on the store doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.
I mean, I'm also working on a pseudo-game engine, which isn't general purpose but specialized for the primary goal of being able to mod this already existing game, but monetization of it beyond the level of "donate if you want to" would be impractical, in my opinion. The original game is freeware so charging for usage to unlock features upfront leaves a bad taste for me. I primarily work on it because I enjoy putting things together and can see tangible progress towards my goal of being feature-compatible with the original. At the point that working on it starts feeling like a job, I'd quit immediately.

If I'm trying to make money off such a side project "quit whenever you want" isn't sustainable. But that isn't one of my goals. I just want to enjoy building things and give the project back to the community, and I'm lucky to have a separate source of income to accomplish that. If nobody cares, then that's fine. The time I spent puzzling over the problems I was facing was a more interesting use of my time for me than sitting around all day watching YouTube, anyway. Also, I at least believe I'm getting somewhere with my project still, so I still have motivation to keep working on it.

Maybe there's some confusion over the term "side project" which could mean "a thing someone developed in off hours that they're intending to bootstrap into a sustainable business," but it could also mean "some person's hobby."

But the fact that I currently have no way of monetizing this means I'll have to work on it in my spare time, meaning it will take that much longer to get to a point where I can declare it's shipped. Maybe I'll lose interest before that point. But to me that's perfectly fine and nothing to become gloomy over if it doesn't work out. Though, to be honest I might not be saying this if my project had users who would be frustrated with me for stepping away from working on it, but the reality is that it's so much work for one person to accomplish and at times it's draining to push forward on it every day, despite what I get out of working on it.
