I did include the inputs, with the assumption of high efficiency feed for industrial meat production, i.e. a feed conversion rate of about 6.

This paper is about shifting animal corn to human corn, not about shifting animal corn to broccoli. Corn produces about 6 times as many calories per hectare as broccoli.
What I meant was the opposite.

Reducing billionaire wealth, or limiting its growth is st stated aim. Piketty and like minded economists argued for it directly. The political proposals (eg Warren's) were also straightforward.

It is a red herring, but money always is when it comes to politics. They all have stuff they want to fund.

By Picketty's math, 2%-2.5% is roughly break-even. That is, average billionaire wealth will grow in proportion to the economy & wages. Less, they will grow more slowly relative to the economy. Above 2.5%, millionaire wealth will decrease, relative to the size of the economy.
Options aren't a game. They're preferable to employees, for tax reasons. If startups gave employees shares, then employees would have to pay taxes on those shares, even though they're illiquid - so you're paying taxes on something you can't even sell!

Options solve this problem well, by delaying the tax burden until the equity is actually worth something. If it ends up worth nothing, you don't exercise your options and you don't pay any taxes.

Our government has repeatedly made it policy to block access to software of domestic origin through export controls [0] [1]

Historically I'd argue most nations could trust the US government only to wield economic sanctions against our adversaries, but the current administration has made all nations our adversary.

I can see a real possibility of the current administration enacting export controls on the European Union for a perceived slight against the President, and Congress will not stop him. For example, if crates.io is an American-based software service, there is a real possibility that the US could ban the owners from allowing access from EU IPs.

Granted, the same is true of GitHub, npm, freaking google... but the tl;dr is that I don't think you can trust us today or tomorrow. I don't trust my government, why should you?

After trying dozens of tools, I settled on MyBase for work related notes.
I don't think it's necessarily repressing feeling and emotions or not dealing with them. This is the same kind of thing I've heard from meditation advocates.

If you're the boss at a company and an employee shows up late for the third time this week, you would be completely (morally) justified in being frustrated, responding sharply, and/or lecturing that employee on why being punctual is important.

But there's a good chance that those responses do not positively affect your own goals. None of those things are likely to make the employee be more punctual, and an off-the-cuff response could lead the employee to act out or quit, which will just make things worse.

So it's better to understand your subconscious feelings (being frustrated about the employee being late), but be sufficiently grounded to consciously respond in a way that benefits you (or at least doesn't work against you).
> I think engineers would do well to know that you are a COST CENTER to the business and the people who run it. They need you to make their product so they can make money but they hire you begrudgingly.

I don't agree. Engineers are sometimes a cost center, but they can also be a profit center. You can help revenue by decreasing expenses by automating something or noticing how the business is wasting money w/r/t tech and taking steps to help fix that.

You can also help revenue by increasing sales by building something, internal or external, that can either be sold or help sales.

But your larger point is correct. When you are starting at a company, know how your efforts are connected to revenue and sales. If your interviewer can't answer how they will be, find someone who can.

For your anecdote there are many others to the contrary. 2 colleagues with Macbook Pros had to hand them in after about 3 years.

A friend bought her Macbook in 2016 or so as a student and it went started having screen problems after a year... so she promptly bought a new one because repairing cost as much a new one. A loan was necessary for that too (poor student).

There was a shared Macbook Pro at work with a bad screen that also had a faulty RAM and it too was easier to simply replace than pay for repair. I was told there was some kind of support contract on it too.

A friend got a secondhand Macbook from 2012 that got slower over the years. Still had a CD/DVD drive and booting from it took about 2 minutes, more until actually accepted input. I resized the Mac partition and installed ubuntu 18.04 on the other partition and that booted more quickly + ran more fluidly with KDE. Her laptop wasn't supported by Apple anymore and she couldn't update the OS either.

I honestly don't see how Mac is easier to use, more reliable or even better supported. Imo, it's just habit, a flashy UI and the "exclusivity" price point. It's a status symbol more than anything. Giving that up is difficult for many, I assume.
My guess is just beliefs. It's pretty similar to what happens in code at-least where i work at.

Dev tries to make it super flexible, tries to make it fancy, implement DRY like one's life is dependent on it ultimately resulting in a hard to read/maintain messed up spaghetti code.

Also i don't see how can a person know all of the security stuff with a beast like Android unless they spent/are willing to spend an insane amount of time on keeping up latest exploits, architecture etc.

Sometimes choices are not a good thing.
Oculus to Require Facebook Login for Future Headsets
I stood and talked to someone for about ten minutes once before I realised he wasn’t the person I thought. I thought he was the father of my then partner, but it turned out he was an old teacher I’d had. In that particular meeting, I think I got away with it, but there have been times where I haven’t.

I have such trouble with recognising faces - including knowing I know them - but mistaking them for someone else - that I have to actively check myself before I engage with people who I’m not very familiar with.

So if you know me but don’t see me often, if you bump into me and find the conversation seems awfully generic, sorry about that.

One thing I’ve learned is that a person’s voice is much easier for me to recognise. This means I try to exchange pleasantries - even with people I know well enough that I should recognise them. I hope it comes across as friendly and jovial - which it is - but I also need the interaction to jog my memory.

Dear Apple: Your Services Are No Longer Required
Pretty sure a lot of these landlords are deploying technology in a bid to compete for tenants, not screw them over. For example, an app-based (or even biometric) entry system reduces the number of times I get locked out after forgetting my keys. Smart locks let me open the door remotely for a housekeeper or maintenance person. Tenant screening technology is really no different from the credit report that landlords run already.

Tenants have substantial legal protections, which have been extended further during COVID-19. As such, it does feel like the balance of power is shifting toward tenants, not away from them.

There are definitely crappy landlords out there, but IMO identifying them from their crappy behavior, rather than their investment into technology, is a better mechanism.

Is this not exactly what you would expect in a free market? All arable farming land will produce whatever crop brings in the best return; no arable land will be left fallow long term.

But just because we are using all of it doesn't mean we need all of it or else starve. Vast quantities of crops are used to produce biofuel, or feed for livestock, or raw materials for other non-food products.

You have higher levels of testing than pretty much any other major country on the planet, from all the figures I've seen. The easiest demonstration is just going to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ and sorting by tests per capita. (The UK is similar and Russia is better on paper but their figures have been extremely fishy even by global standards. China's testing seems to be heavily concentrated on high-profile stuff like testing all of Wuhan and Beijing; they've tested less overall, and there's been weird incidents like patients hospitalized with symptoms in a region already known to be a hotspot not getting tested promptly and entirely missing an outbreak elsewhere until it spilled over into Beijing.)

The reason you don't seem to be making progress is that no matter how much progress there is, your press has worked very hard to convince you that the necessary level of testing is always much higher than you currently have and you're uniquely failing to achieve it because of Trump. They use techniques like carefully only comparing the amount of testing to countries you're worse than, not comparing overall testing levels at all and instead falsely claiming test positivity levels were a measure of overall testing (by that point it mostly measured infection levels - the number of tests required to test, say, everyone with symptoms is almost entirely unaffected by the number of Covid infections unless you have so many of them your healthcare system is collapsing), and most recently literally using the fact that you've tested more to make it look like you're doing worse: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/06/us/coronavirus-us.html

For context, the big reason the US has "five times as many cases as in all of Europe, Canada, Japan, South Korea and Australia, combined" is because you've been testing massively more than Europe, Japan and South Korea did during their outbreaks, and people are only counted if they're tested. European testing was particularly bad - from what I could tell, the countries with big outbreaks basically only tested people who were hospitalized, and the much higher test positivity rates and hospitalization and death rates amongst confirmed cases seemed to confirm this. That won't show up so well on more recent overall stats because everyone did plenty of testing after the outbreaks had died down, though still not at US levels. Though with the way European and South Korean cases are picking up that might change. (For bonus points, the other thing that article uses to prove that the US is a unique failure is the length of its outbreak... after everyone had been pushing for "flatten the curve" which literally extends the length of the outbreak.)

I'm really struggling to imagine how people think this would work.
He is not modeling the threshold below which wealth is not taxed. The wealth tax being proposed in California is 0.4% on amounts over $30MM, so the lifetime percentage taken by the government on a $30MM stock cash-out via the proposed wealth tax would be 0%.

So the proposal boils down to $30MM tax free, and then 21.4% on the amount over that. But you're also likely to invest that money making, say, 7%. So your return each year on the first $30MM is 7.0% and is 6.6% on the rest after paying this tax.
To state it more accurately, a wealth tax will lower the odds that elon musk will colonize mars. even with his wealth... i think it's safe to say the odds are agains musk colonizing mars.

he doesn't pay income tax cuz he usually have income, no salary. he just has stock, and he lives off debt against the stock. he will be forced to sell stock to pay a wealth tax. he will have less control over his companies.

I have that same box. Very nice box.

I have two laptops - work and personal. When it’s time to shut off work, work laptop and cell phone go away, personal one comes out. Works pretty well.

What doesn’t always work for me is the physical detritus after a work period - notes, papers, books etc. and even more so, the psychological carry over from difficult or prolonged periods of work.

I find that if I work 10 hours a day (common) during the work week, for weeks at a time, if I take a break, it will take a minimum of 3-5 days with lots of naps/downtime to process the “work carryover effect” and return to a state where I can truly think about what I personally want to.

I've never been good at following movie plots. It does depend on the plot. "Detective" type plots where a key twist is when someone we've already seen appears in a different and unexpected place while dressed differently are the worst.

Not being able to recognize actors across movies, who plays in what movie is something I've never paid attention to.

Which meant that I didn't realise for years that part of the joke in Austin Powers is that it's the same actor playing all of the roles.

I agree with this mentality. I was at a FAANG company as well, and some of the projects I worked on had a small impact on the company but a huge impact on a certain group. 4% of a billion users is the total population of Canada.

Now that I'm at a startup, I'm making a huge impact on the startup, but it's having very little impact on the outside world and the industry. I guess the hope is that one day the startup will have impact on the world, but very few ever do.

1) Vegetables are better than meat foods in the minds of the hundreds of millions of vegetarians out there.

2) Vegetarians do not consider their diet to be a 'sacrifice'. Quite the opposite. There are many benefits.

Therefore, one could argue, more people need to be educated on the benefits of plant-based diets, and they will choose them.
Haha, come on. If you're going to model compound losses you should at least try and address compound growth. Wealth taxes are desirable because they erode dynastic wealth. That's a feature, not a bug. This is the same kind of dubious, selective accounting that I expect to see in a face-gram meme from a grandparent.

Then you're being far too generous with your interpretation
the reason why money is in politics is because policy can effect money. You have to address the root cause, or else you are just playing whack-a-mole (thought exercise: if PACs were banned, is there a difference between Bezos buying $500M in paid media vs. buying the washington post?)

America needs to go through a revolution of thought, like the one that lead to the 'Separation of Church and State' principle. For many of the same reasons, we need a 'Separation of of Economy and State' movement. Only then will you get money out of politics.

This is one reason I'm such a fan of fake meat companies like Impossible Foods.

I've tried to go on vegetarian diets before, but I just can't do it. I always feel weak and just generally "not right". I don't eat a ton of meat, but I find it really difficult to abstain 100%.

An Impossible Burger, however, completely satisfies my cravings for meat. It's not just that it tastes like meat, but I feel sated after eating an Impossible or Beyond Burger in a way I just don't feel eating a normal veggie burger.
This is an interesting counter take, and it’s clear that it’s not all doom and gloom.

On the other hand, as someone on macOS there are plenty of esoteric projects on github that work great, but are written specifically for Linux. Sometimes it’s just a matter of replacing Linux-specific headers to get them to build, but most of the time changing otherwise unrelated OS specificities is a real pain for the ultimate goal of getting on with whatever project I’m working on.

My fear is that standards development will become dictated by Google, leading to sites built to Google standards only— like the web becoming centered around AMP, for example.

You test as much as possible and for any positive you ask the candidate and all associates to self-isolate. Maybe X who is infected gives you a false negative, but if you also test X's mother, husband and son you are likely to get a positive and just isolate the whole household. Similarly a false positive just means you isolate one for no reason - no harm to the community.
Regarding the phone:

If you use Android (no experience if there is an iOS equivalent), most distributions have some sort of "multi-user" (generic Android) or "second space" (Xiaomi terminology) feature, where you can install separate sets of apps and compartmentalize files and notifications.

This works wonders for having your work e-mail and Slack logged into the second space, and you only open it at work. It also prevents intrusive work apps from having access to your personal space's data, which if you care about it, is very good too.
Good thing you're immune.
