I personally think that all the new diversity are the ones that would want privacy. So they can communicate and form ideas in confidence that they can then use to tell the rest of society. When gay people congregated in secret to talk about their position in society, they were happy they could do it in secret. That statement doesn't make me uncomfortable, it just makes me think that the view behind that statement is far too optimistic about how tolerant people are in society. Racism will be around in 100 years. Privacy helps any human being.
One thing that I have been wondering, if the atmosphere is so thin, then how does the RTG cool? I seem to have nerd-sniped myself.

It needs a temperature differential to generate electric current and it looks to have fins for convective cooling but the atmospheric pressure is a few % of that of sea level Earth.
'bindkey "${key[Up]}" up-line-or-search' is probably the incantation you're looking for if you don't want to use oh-my-zsh or whatever. The $key hashmap is generated by zsh's zkbd so that your config can be terminal independent, but you can insert the actual key if you prefer not to use zkbd or only use one terminal type.

There are a bunch of other search types available, zshzle(1) has all the gory details.

I worked for a startup within another company. It got spun out and the CEO used it as his own escape hatch, while selling off the remaining parts of the original company. The startup had a successful exit, although it didn't become a unicorn.

What's interesting about skunkworks is much it gets invoked by people vs how much it actually happens in practice.

I'm not sure why everyone seems so focused on the cafeteria thing. I'm not sure people and their attitudes towards amenities are really the problem here.

From my understanding, the differerence is the companywide attitude to risk. A startup has a "grow at any cost, or maybe perish" attitude. If things go south, bankruptcy will take care of the leftover excess risk (barring criminal charges). A bigco cannot easily go bankrupt, even less a single department. There are tons and tons of capital to eat through if the accumulated risk is realized in cost. So a bigco has to do something about that risk somehow, because most of the company wants to keep what capital it has, only a small part of it really wants to risk things. So the only means to have a situation where you don't risk bigco for a single department is not making it a department. Make it a Ltd. in a holding or something.

> if it is not a completely independent system where the energy of one gear is being transmitted to the other

But that is what's happening. That's what the gears are for. They synchronise the motion by transmitting force from either side to the other.

If the left leg faces less resistance (or has a stronger muscle, etc.), then the extra motion that would go into the left leg is instead balanced across to the right leg through the gears.

Actually, that applies to pretty much everywhere in the world.

Of course no-one is suggesting to emulate Athenian society as it was, it's quite odd to suggest otherwise as the comment you're replying to does. Athenian democracy was momentous and a big step forward at a time when the standard was a despotic ruler.
I don't know if there is a "main reason" for all instances. For me, on this kind of project at one of the Biggest Co's, it seemed a bit like the safety net point you make and it creeps into everything. There didn't seem to be much pressure because the project was never going to be pulled and had infinite money. This seemed to manifest in "good people" (my opinion) working at about 40% capacity and new hires having a background in companies more like BigCo than InternalStartup.

Edit: To clarify my last point, my assumption being that the point of InternalStartup was to allow deviating almost entirely from BigCo's approach to everything and that those people from OtherBigCo would be less likely to have that mindset.

We are. You are just not watching them. Indepent cinema is booming. They have never been as many festivals and the quality of what they screen has never been higher.

If you start looking at world cinema it's even more impressive. Nigeria now has the third largest cinema industry in the world.

> Sure they are a bit more customizable, but is that really worth all the drawbacks?

Yes.

Or at least, "mechanical keyboards" is broad enough that it also includes ortholinear or column-staggered designs, as well as split keyboards. (i.e. I mean a more narrow "some mechanical keyboards are much better than non-mechanical" rather than arguing "mechanical keyboards are always better than non-mechanical").

Typical keyboards have staggered-rows, and are asymmetrical. (The distance from left-ctrl to index finger is different from right-ctrl to index finger). The biggest downside of this design is it encourages heavy usage of the pinky finger, as well as stretching fingers, and moving the hand from home row. Compare the number of keys relegated to the pinky finger vs the much stronger thumb.

The customizability of these keyboards affords further techniques to reduce hand movement and pinky usage.

I'm happy to take the trade-off of a slightly longer travel time for the benefit of reduced usage of the pinky finger, reduced hand movement.

These benefits are orthogonal to the switches being mechanical. Maybe it's easier to come up with these designs by making use of mechanical switches. But almost all the "ortholinear or column-staggered, split" keyboards I'm aware of are mechanical.

> They haven't burned a single token in the last year.

They burned 1 billion tokens 6 months ago, back in August.

Besides, why do people act like not burning tokens is evidence of wrong-doing? That just shows ignorance for how tether have setup their accounts.

They have a "treasury account" where tether tokens go when people redeem them, and where they can quickly issue tokens when people deposit cash. They only need to issue more tokens when the treasury account gets low, and they only need to burn tokens when they have an excess in treasury.

It makes total sense that in the current bull market that they haven't had the need to burn many tokens. The burn in August only happened because they now have multiple tokens on multiple networks and their TRON treasury account had too much.

Compared to my previous mechanical gaming keyboard which used linear switches and other membrane keyboards, I don't typo really at all on any of these keyboards. I think the tactile response is what helps with that for me.

I think the new model m (from last year) is fine - it doesn't have some of the flex and other things that the older Unicomp keyboads had. I still don't really understand the double charge you got when I didn't have it.

> Mechanical keyboard is just a meme in my opinion, and one of the dumb ones.

I don't really consider the Model M a mechanical keyboard, it's a membrane keyboard to me and the best membrane keyboard I've ever used.
But I am using a cheap keyboard. About 10 times cheaper than the cheapest mechanical keyboard that's decent enough to spend any money on. That's the entire point of my comment above.

* Price: Chromebooks are now much more expensive. And there are more cheap windows laptops now.

* Ease of use: Maybe this is tech savvy people buying laptops for their grandparents so they can keep in touch?

I don't know the answer. But as much as I hate recommending google products, chromeos is now a really good option for a lot of people.
Re killer feature: I believe it's being end-to-end, provide experience for "citizen x", domain experts, rather than only ML engineers: so it's no-code data cleansing, transformation + ML layer on top of this + productionalization, and being cloud-agnostic. We found that the problem that we're trying to solve is bigger than just giving the possibility to use ML instruments for non-developers.
There are a lot of citizen data scientists who want to automate their spreadsheet work, make inference easy once the model is created without too much efforts to change processing pipeline, etc. That's why we don't compete with Azure ML Studio as they more developers-focused and with AutoML tools as ML is only a feature of platform.

In addition, we've designed and implemented own pipeline scheduling algorithm and APIs out-of-the-box, so ready pipelines or models could be easily embedded into business process or used outside of the platform.

It's just big company talk to pretend they're cool and innovative. Obviously ridiculous garbage that probably got someone a good annual review score.

A small company I was working with had heard that IBM, who had a customer in common, were operating some sort of "garage" thing that the customer really liked. Rumours were flying around, someone had heard it was a video conferencing app, they were desperate to know more about this secret sauce.

Eventually I got to speak to an opposite number from them on a piece of work that joined with our own. They were calling any team of people a garage (because of the Amazon, Apple, etc stories). That's all it was, just a different word for team, like toddlers playing let's pretend.

Civilization has been trying to get democracy right for well over 2,000 years, and we still haven't arrived at a genuinely fair and just social order.

Capitalism has had 400 to 500 years (arguably even longer), and in that time it oppressed, colonized, enslaved and engaged in genocide of hundreds of millions of people, thoroughly warped democracy (e.g. bribes and huge amounts of money spent to ensure the election of capitalist-friendly politicians), thoroughly warped geopolitical evolution (e.g. the propping up of dictators to ensure the flow of oil and other resources needed to keep the capitalist machine humming), and is thoroughly wreaking havoc on the environment as it demands we consume as much as it can produce, again to keep the machine humming.

Yet we've only experimented with socialism for 100 years (and that's being generous with the definition of socialism) and it is dismissed out of hand as a failed idea and that its supporters are crackpots.

During the summer of high school when I worked some weeks at McDonalds, the minimum wage was $1.60. The only prices that I remember from those days were that of the standard burger and the standard fries, both 20 cents, and that of a gallon of gasoline, which varied between about 28 and about 30 cents per gallon.

At the moment, a gallon of gasoline in my neighborhood costs about $2.33, so one could call that eight times the price of my McDonalds summer, the equivalent of almost $13 back then.

The burgers and fries are more in line with the increase in minimum wage.

>We engineers love skunkworks: working on cool stuff, without accountability and a lot of freedom

I'm pretty sure people who keep saying this have no idea what working at Skunkwork was actually like.

If you read Ben Rich's book, which I recommend you do, you'll find out that they had tons of accountability, the more classified their projects were, the more they were drowning in paperwork. No employee was to be left alone with the blueprints and if one of two needed to go to the bathroom then the plans had to be locked in a safe during that time.

Also, the hours of work and the stress they were under was insane as shit would break unexpectedly all the time.

I'm sure this is not what engineers love, and what they tink they mean by Skunworks is cowboy coding and being paid handsomely to play like kindergarten kids in the sandbox with the latest shiny toys, while leaving work at 5 PM.
I'm an outsider to US politics (in that I'm Australian), but I'm really interested to know what widely held "left" views you think are "incorrect"?

The topics I understand as being pushed by the left in the US just seem so centerist to me, based on the political landscape that I'm living in.

Single payer health care, minimum wage increases, increases in social support nets... So many topics I'd love to hear the argument against from any stand point that isn't pure capitalist greed.
