I think the creators of HBO's GOT ended the series because they were rushing to work on:

]] Benioff and Weiss inked a five-year, $250 million partnership with Netflix in August to make film and TV projects exclusively for the streaming service. The move was head-scratching at the time, considering the pair had already committed to producing Star Wars movies for Disney—an undertaking that was likely to take many years and leave little room for anything else.

Many polls are showing a Biden win is above 80% probability, the House is solidly Dem, and a possible sweep in the Senate. Make of that what you will.

Its a fair point that polls missed in 2016. 2020 has kicked the hornet’s nest (rather, the last four years), voter turnout appears to be higher than previous years, and I’d bet an expensive bottle of bourbon current polls align close to what results will be (with modeling lessons learned from 2016).

Tangentially, quite a few Trump voters have simply aged out over the last four years (roughly 1.8 million voters over the age of 55 die each year). Broadly speaking, much older voters skew conservative compared to younger cohorts (per Pew Research), hence the confidence in a shift towards the left across branches in government representation during this election cycle. GOP support is quite literally dying out.

No one advocates for physically abusing the kids to instill manners in current times and it's backed by research to be ineffective long term and not sustainable.

Hopefully we don't. But we need to solve dementia which might require a deeper understanding of the connectome. And furthermore, the longer we age the more new diseases we will discover.

By the time we have multi-centenarians there might be whole new types of dementia that could arise.

I do find this mildly amusing – and sad – as git is possibly one of the worst SCMs for non-programmers because its command set is so bottom-up, and therefore doesn't align with a naive mental model of how version control should work, while at the same time it exposes an interface that makes it all to easy to screw things up catastrophically.

GUI tools only help with that to some extent, too, and only the right ones.
> It would, in a compulsory rights jurisdiction, because all copyright assignments are either void or revocable at will in such jurisdictions.

I didn't believe this, so I looked at a study of EU copyright law[0]. Rights of authors are split into moral rights and economic rights. Economic rights are transferable as property. Moral rights, however, inure to the author and are inalienable. In some countries, the moral rights include the right to withdraw the work from circulation. This right to withdraw is probably what you are referring to when you say that copyright assignments are void or revocable.

The right to withdraw a work from circulation, however, does not come for free. In Spain it is only, "after indemnification of the holders of exploitation rights for damages and prejudice."[1] In Estonia, "The rights ... shall be exercised at the expense of the author and the author is required to compensate for damage caused to the person who used the work."[2] In France, "... he may only exercise that right on the condition that he indemnify the assignee beforehand for any prejudice the reconsideration or withdrawal may cause him."[3] In Romania, the right is "subject to indemnification of any holder of exploitation rights who might be prejudiced by the exercise of the said withdrawal right."[4]

In all of the examples I could find, the withdrawal right essentially extinguishes an assignment of the economic rights. So, in a sense you are correct that an assignment is revocable. Practically, however, the author who exercises that right would be liable for damages to the assignee, which could be significant, and the author would not be able to exercise the right if he could not pay for the economic harm.

Anyway, this has been interesting and I learned something about European copyright regimes. Thanks.

Twitter was always internally conflicted about "what Twitter is." Some wanted it to be a microblogging/AIM 'away' message transport, some wanted it to be a news outlet/media company.
This is painfully funny. It's interesting though I feel like it's harder to do data science right because the iterations are so much slower. If it takes all day to run a model it's hard to get in enough reps to really understand what good practices are for the domain.

That's a rhetorical question, right? In any company, employees don't get to capture any value.

Jalaneti (jala is water in Sanskrit, so water neti[1], it is a yoga practice) may help with sinus and other nasal congestion problems. It seems to, for me, anecdotally.

Standard disclaimer: not a doctor.

But I have been doing jalaneti for years, since my teens. First learned about it from a course at the Yoga Institute[2] of Santa Cruz, Mumbai, India.

After jalaneti the nasal passages feel very clean for sometime, and breathing is more free. You can do it once or twice a day. Used with caution, it is not dangerous for healthy adults.

And according to this tweet, almost all of the others sent in resumes to work with him. He had something like 1000 job inquiries within a week of announcing his leaving.

Talk about engineering loyalty."

No, let's talk about Intellectual property(IP):

How much does Zoom's software differ from Cisco/Webex? If Yuan got 40 developers overnight from Cisco/Webex and more later, how much IP did they bring to Zoom from Cisco/Webex? Should Cisco/Webex sue Zoom for IP theft? I don't see how such a lawsuit could fail.
We're discussing how to get those "things that reproduce" in the first place. I agree that once you have useful things that reproduce, it's easy to keep it going. Similarly, if I have a running copy of Linux, I can use the tools (and source code) to produce another copy of Linux.

But how do we get the first copy, the "original reproducing molecule" as you put it?

The usual explanation is that the "first copy" arose randomly, and then kept going. Do you believe that? I suspect not—but most people do.

We know that it can't have been random (which is the argument I gave, and I suspect you agree with). We should tell people "it wasn't random, something about the fundamental nature of these molecules caused better and more complex molecules to emerge." But we have no mechanism for that, just a (valid) belief that it has to be true.

I think we should find those mechanisms, and simultaneously, stop telling people that random chance + vast universe + long timespan is sufficient.

We all rely everyday on ancient and modern innovations copied from others; from farming to DDR3. It's just that now patents can lock up that innovation for decades in a system so dense you need a small army to look for possible infringement before you take even a step. Or just hope that forgiveness is cheaper than asking permission.

Of course without any patents many things might be lost, never invented, or kept secret for ages.

A significant proportion of union membership loves Trump and is actively voting for him in this election. The exact proportion varies according to the union. I could not find an exact statistic, but I found the following illuminating nonetheless: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/22/donald-trump-union-...

Furthermore, union membership is only 10% of the workforce. This is according to figures reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics:

"In 2019, the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of unions--the union membership rate--was 10.3 percent, down by 0.2 percentage point from 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions, at 14.6 million in 2019, was little changed from 2018. In 1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate was 20.1 percent and there were 17.7 million union workers."

Visual Basic got partway there by having WYSIWYG user interface editing, but you still had to code all of business logic using the visual basic programming language.

What I’m talking about is replacing the latter with something that is not just essentially a text string. Maybe one way to think about it is when you are coding in visual studio with a language that has good IntelliSense, it will pop up with various class members and other details because it understands the objects you are working with. Maybe there’s a way to extend that idea, where there’s not much manual typing involved at all and it’s mostly tapping on the option you want based on what is relevant in the current scope.

Microsoft had a labs project 5 or 10 years ago attempting to do just this, although it never really got very far before it was canceled. I wish I could remember the name of it now, it was intriguing. Definitely not as productive as coding via a keyboard on a real computer, but it was the best experience you could get on a mobile device, so that’s not nothing.

Maybe the real problem is there’s no way to actually run/use anything you create on mobile. Sure maybe if you’re making a website, but there’s no way to build an app or a helper function that can be used directly on an iPhone or iPad. I assume android has more possibilities here, but I still have yet to see something that will compile code on an android device directly to an APK and install it locally without requiring some sort of server to do the heavy lifting.

It’s interesting to see the communities growing around iOS shortcuts. It’s crazy the amount of hoops people are willing to jump through to create shortcuts that would otherwise be fairly simple scripts in a standard programming language, and then people share them on Reddit communities and elsewhere. If people are willing to bend over backwards for that, just think what a purpose-built system could be used for.

Ironically, NTT contributing to a no-bullshit rock-solid open source tool like Postgres is par for the course -- it's great that they're pushing innovations inside Postgres, but technically from an outside lens it's a conservative place to invest.
