And if we as a society decide that people should have health care, food to eat, and shelter, and that we should put the burden on private companies, we should do so in the form of corporate taxes.

I'm in the stage of writing a video game with several characters, and i must say i was quite amazed by those visuals, there are more online.

I want to guess if somehow, it helped to structure the art production better, since they had to remake a lot of work.

Aaaaaaaand I'm still genuinely curious about this very odd rumour of a secret white boss hidden under the main city midgar, which i read in a magazine at the time. Because this boss might have existed in the earlier version.
> Safety standards could be addressed by insurability, and this is really a very separate concept from wage.

Sorry, but no. And I'm going to judge you for having that opinion.

The idea that it's acceptable for a human being to lose their sight (or legs or arms or ...) and suffer the quality of life problems that result from it as long as they're covered by insurance is horrendous and I judge you for it.

I don't even care if you come back and tell me you've changed your mind based upon this post. The fact that you needed your mind changed makes you a monster.

Actually your kind of thinking is backwards. Nowadays nuclear energy is the most expensive way to produce electricity:

Nuclear energy: 102£/MWh

Gas energy: 85£/MWh

Offshore wind energy: 57£/MWh

Onshore wind energy: 46£/MWh

Solar energy: 44£/MWh

As the article says, "medusa" is a modern name for jellyfish.

The Ancient Greeks and Romans called the jellyfish "sea lungs", because of the resemblance between the pulsation of jellyfish and the respiration of terrestrial vertebrates.
Disclaimer: I have only interviewed for junior positions.

I never focus on algorithms or particular technologies. When I interview someone, I'm looking for two things:

- First and most important: we both are in the same wave. I want to make sure the applicant understands what's the goal of the position. For example, once a guy with over 10+ of experience applied for a junior position but demanding responsibilities and salary of a senior.

- Second, expose a general problem and work with the applicant to get an idea about what can we do. I don't expect a solution in 5 minutes, I'm looking for ideas of how we can tackle this problem and how we would start working on it.
To be accurate, partner Shell choose not to re-up its investment after exactly one year, from 2019 Feb 12 to 2020 Feb 18 as indicated in the blog post you linked (actually https://link.medium.com/KBxNNZGcK9 since your link didn’t work for me). It seems unfair to blame Alphabet solely, or even Larry, as one comment below did.
I agree that it's about cheaper workers. On the other hand, the percentage of persons who are willing to be trained in the software industry is low.

Google Ads was not an acquisition. Google had a successful home grown online ad business for ~8 years before they bought DoubleClick. Google AdWords was launched in 2000 [1] and acquired DoubleClick in 2008 [2].

DoubleClick was a competitor and the acquisition faced antitrust scrutiny [3]. In addition to eliminating a competitor, the acquisition helped Google expand into display ads, and DoubleClick was seen as the market leader in that segment [3]. Google had previously only been a leader in search and contextual text ads [3].

While Google does not break out display ads, they do break out ad revenue from Google properties, Youtube, and ads on 3rd part sites. Google generally only displays text ads on Google-branded sites, while Youtube and 3rd party site ad revenue is a mix of text and display ads. From their most recent earnings report, Google-branded site ad revenue was $21,319 M, Youtube was $3,812 M, and 3rd party sites was $4,736 M [4]. As you can see, to this day, display ads make up a small portion of Google's ad revenue.

You don't need to do this, you can just make multiple classes of shares and only put one class on the market. Zuckerberg personally owns a majority share of facebook, and yet it is publicly traded. Facebook public shareholders have no voting power, because zuckerberg has two thirds of the votes.
I legitimately wonder: was there a point in your life maybe a decade ago or more, where you looked at the wildest conspiracy theorists (flat earthers and worse) etc and thought "wow, those people are fucking nuts"?

Like, observed the type of thing they'd tell you in comments, how x and y and z lined up just right and "how do you explain that?!?!" and all that bollocks and thought "man, they're so far gone, I feel bad for them…"

You realize what you're writing today, right?

It appears to be rendered on a good GPU, and streamed over as video. They should really consider doing it in WebGL with static images if they detect the graphics card is not capable.

I can I'd be impressed with the experience if it were rendering locally (on a 4k monitor with a 2070), but in its current state it is just not good.
Makes you wonder though... would it be possible to modulate the light from the star using a shutter-like mechanism in the direction you want to communicate?

Imagine something like a DLP chip, but super thin: a reflective foil with tiny baffles that can be opened and closed using something like a simple electrostatic system. Make these into an enormous light-sail like sheet the same radius as the star. Place it between the star and the target system, and you have something akin to a signal lamp using the star as the light source.

You don't need to generate power on the order of a star, you just need to modulate the light field of one. That's a much lower requirement.

Bit of back-of-the-envelope maths is that this is 4*10^12 kg, assuming a sail the radius of our sun, 1 nm thick, and made of aluminium.

That's a huge amount of mass, but conceptually manufacturable if using automated asteroid mining or somesuch.

I feel like I'm making a mistake in my calculations for the energy requirements to toggle the shutters, but it's certainly low enough that embedded solar cells can trivially provide the energy required even if they're tiny and far apart.
> ...tether drag was a significant loss that was not accounted for...

I wonder if some of the losses to tether drag could be made up for by re-purposing some of the wave energy tech to capture energy from the base of the tether as the kite pulls and slackens on the base, or if the tether could be made rigid on demand with some tech in the future.
This is exactly the way the current Goodreads rating is supposed to work (and I'm personally OK with it). But my guesstimate is that for 95% Goodreads users everything below 4 stars means that the book sucks.
There's a lot of interesting research (and progress) even going on with Classical Mechanics. E.g. in the 90s it has been shown that even classical Newtonian Physics can yield divergent results which even has a Philosophical impact. Also normal (1-2 particle) Quantum Theory theory is progressing, much more is known about the border between QT and Classical Physics. But of course most resources at Physics departments are dedicated to Solid Matter Physics and High Energy Physics. At least the theoretical flavours of both have a lot of overlap actually and Solid Matter Physics also has applications in the industry. But teaching really focusses on going to one of the 2 topics, at least where I studied.

> physics has a communication problem

It puzzles me how in 2020 it's still common to believe that the world is a fully deterministic place. That kind of proves that the results stay inside Universities despite a lot of popular science publications.
Bias is inherent to the Wikipedia model, at least if you view its content as simply facts. It's not so much a collection of facts as it is a collection of statements corroborated by published sources.

> As for innovation? US isn't even top 10 when it comes to Nobel prize per capita

Your per capita list is an epic compliment to the US.

The fact that the US is #15 per capita is extraordinary, given your list is comparing the US to top ten countries like East Timor, Saint Lucia, Luxembourg and Iceland, where if you get one or two you leap ahead of the entire world.

Among large population nations, only the UK and Germany rank higher, with Germany only slightly ahead. The UK for their part are far beyond everyone else on any reasonable comparison scale.

The US has five times the population of France and exceeds them on Nobels per capita. That is an amazing performance by the US.

The fact that the US is so massive and still ranks ahead of: the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Australia, Finland, New Zealand, Italy, Japan, Spain, Portugal, Greece, etc. - is similarly staggering.

The US has over three times the rate of Italy, nearly double the rate of Canada, and over five times the rate of Japan.

The US per capita rate is 46% higher than the EU.

I'm going to drop Saint Lucia, East Timor, Iceland and Luxembourg from the comparison list because it's beyond silly, they all have one Nobel and micro populations. On a more rational list, the US is #11, with an 11.7 rate per 10m people. A nearby comparison is Ireland with a 14.5 rate; Ireland has seven total, the US has 383 and roughly 70 times the population. Like I said, it's an epic compliment for the US to be so highly ranked on a list dominated by small populations. The US is the sole country over 100 million population until you get down to #35 Japan at a 2.2 rate; except for the UK, the top 10 is all under 10 million population.

It tells us that Israel have the same industrial military complex that US have

Put it in another way: their success is due military application of technology

Besides: what does counting unicorns proves?

Is Israel GDP per capita higher than Germany?

Is Israel richer than Germany?

Europe values other metrics more than simply pure market valuation

For example WhatsApp only employed 50 engineers when already had 900 million users

In Germany, and Europe in general, we prefer businesses that increase the general population employment than pure profit margins

> getting things to work at scale is nontrivial

Agreed, non-trivial but also not rocket science (at least not now - I guess it's easier today than at the beginnings of twitter and fb for example) and throwing money at the problem usually helps.

Agree on the other industries, and maybe their innovation is building things more cheaply than other places (externalities aside)
“You’re welcome to work from home, so long as you’re happy being systematically forgotten about in team decisions and passed over for promotions.”

Yeah, that’d definitely work itself out; but it’s not what I would describe as a remote friendly workplace.
Using unicorns as a proxy for innovation is maybe not a great idea, because it's just looking at a few outliers of heavily concentrated capital. It doesn't tell you anything about the majority of companies that are not unicorns and will never be, but that might nonetheless be highly innovative and profitable.

For example, if you look at foreign direct investment, the Netherlands lead the pack in 2017 with $4.888 trillion invested by residents of other countries. [1] Yet apparently there's only one Dutch unicorn (team.blue). Evidently there's a lot of investment going to other companies instead of betting on a single unicorn.

How is it untrue?

The proportion of Americans living in urban counties (31%) has not changed in 20 years. The proportion living in suburban counties has increased slightly (53% to 55%) [1]

The proportion of new vehicle sales that are SUVs or pickups has been steadily climbing for over 30 years [2]

> The higher cost of living in cities is pretty strong evidence that city living is under supplied compared to suburban living.

Is that true for all cities or just a few large ones? I don’t see how you can conclude that. The narrower conclusion is that demand for city housing exceeds supply in a few key markets.

> this sort of “everybody who doesn’t want what I want is lying to themselves” is elitism that destroys people’s chances to live th way they prefer.

You have apparently without irony proved my point.

My broader point is that rather than force people to do things that they apparently don’t want to do (move to dense housing, ditch or downsize their vehicles) we should seek ways to invest in the efficiency of our existing housing stock, and provide incentives to improve the efficiency of new vehicles. A carbon tax also looks like a promising approach.

It would help if you define what you mean by "object". This term has a definition in the C standard by which arrays are unquestionably objects. It is true that you cannot pass or return them by value, but that does not mean they are not objects, that means the ability to pass or return things by value is not a property of objects.

About the singular vs array question: this is true but just a special case of the absence of bounds checking, is it not? C's approach of allowing e.g. "int i;" to be addressed as if it were an array of length 1, allowing construction not just of &i but also &i+1 as pointer values, is valid and sometimes useful, but you have to make sure you never access *(&i+1). That's the same problem as how given "int a[2];", accessing a[2] is not valid, as far as I can see.

Read the abstract of the studies involved. None of the ones evaluated negatively involve anything like you mention. No gender studies, lgbt, things like that. The most woke one was "Analytic Thinking Promotes Religious Disbelief".

The recommendation engine is bizarre too. I have had minimal interaction with the app, and follow a handful of people. Once I've read their updates, I get 'recommended' posts that are mostly pro-Trump stuff with the occasional random same-looking model from wherever the fuck.

Considering that my Instagram account is linked to my Facebook account, they should be able to figure out that I'm a left-leaning European nerd with very little interest in puffy-lipped models...

Meanwhile TikTok has been eerily good at recommending stuff that amuses or interests me, with very little input from my end of things.
No, completely not. Of course I am aware that nuclear power plants are still being built. For various reasons. I said, no one can afford to build nuclear power plants. That some still do, is another matter.

The thing is: France is not building enough nuclear power plants to sustain their current nuclear production levels. Finland is struggling to finish the one under construction (vast cost overruns), the UK has a single plant in production with guaranteed prices way higher than market (they want to keep nuclear capability for military reasons I guess). In the US, two half finished plants got abandoned for cost reasons.

Yes, China (and some others) still have ongoing nuclear power plant construction, but compared to the country size, their efforts are also miniscule. To get to the same level of nuclear production, China would need about 1000 plants. They are very far from that and their expansion in renewables is much larger than in nuclear.

Another variant of this challenge is; when you have multiple interviewers and some are positive some negative about the candidate.

To me, i think C is a powerful language that is weakened by 2 things:

1- Trying to find the proper style and methods to write few lines of code.
The reason for this is because C is an old language that kept changing. Thus, you can read a book, yet find someone to tell you “you shouldn’t do it that way”.

2- compilers made C into different flavors.
Microsoft C compiler provides scanf_s with the old scanf being deprecated. In the other hand, gcc has different approaches without the scanf_s that Microsoft has. This can be so annoying to use.
Well tough luck for them because I am the boss :)
I beg to disagree.

The OP should have picked a better example since they were making a sweeping generalization. If it was so, that Chrome has been turned to IE, then he'd be able to find more examples to support it. You're giving the OP too much credit when the burden of the proof lies with the accuser.

What kind of awareness of local geography do people even cultivate on a 40 minute commute? You're going for speed and consistency, not novelty and aesthetics.

You see only a tiny amount of environs on your commute (most of it non local), and I'm not sure people develop that kind of relationship with the neighborhood at mile 38/49 that they'd care if it's trashed, whatever that means and however they'd notice.

I've had both long and short commutes, and I don't understand what you're talking about.
