I'm on slow internet at the moment, and between when I entered my username and the box asking me to set up my organization, a popup flashed saying "that user name is taken" (disappeared 1/2 sec later).

> fiat currency's value mostly stems from the perception of if the country has the military/political might to enforce it's contracts

This is an unconventional theory. It does not have a good track record.

Yes, having a monopoly on violence is a basic requirement for a functioning government. Its absence implies a failed state. Failed states aren't known for having useful currencies. But functioning states regularly trash their currencies.

Indeed. I find absolutely nothing morally objectionable in this. Well done NFN.
But the cows eat the grass a lot faster than it would be rotting right? So wouldn't the speed of the methane entering the atmosphere be faster?
I read a piece about https://symbrosia.co/seaweeda while back. I’m not sure if they have plans for large-scale production just yet, though.
Now that's an interesting thought. Since someone was already working on a bootstrapping compiler, I suppose that's the best way, but since the JVM is so high level in general, and doesn't normally have many optimizations at the bytecode level, I almost wonder if it wouldn't be easier to start from one of the early compilers de-compiled into Java instead.
> The ACA was considered a Republican-friendly approach to health care prior to it becoming a partisan issue

That's...misleading. Sure, the broad outline of a policy like the ACA first emerged as a joint Republican/insurance industry idea for national reform after the failure of the Clinton healthcare plan when it looked like there might still be enough demand for some national reform that they could use a strategy, and yes something broadly similar was pushed successfully by Republican Governor Romney at the state level (in Massachusetts, not Utah.) But even the national Republican party had moved right since then, under Bush, they had toyed with mandatory purchase of specifically HDHP/HSA plans, rather than traditional insurance, before deciding that health reform wasn't something that even needed to be on the agenda at all.)
That on its own is an interesting problem, isn't it?

If you insure a car, then crash it for the payout, we would consider that insurance fraud. We make it against the law, because it has a negative externality in the form of making everyone else's insurance rates higher.

In principle, suicide clauses exist for the same reason. If they didn't exist, you would actually be incentivizing people to kill themselves and raising insurance premiums for everyone else. These are both bad things that most people would want to avoid. Then again, it's not like you can kill yourself twice, so, unlike car insurance fraud, this is a self-solving problem!

My gut tells me that awarding life insurance payouts to families of suicide victims is the wrong tool for this particular problem. Perhaps the government itself should insure individuals against family suicides? This would avoid creating undue drag upon the private insurance market while also ensuring that even poor families (those I suspect are most vulnerable to losing a bread-winner to suicide) are protected. Since the two systems are now decoupled, you could even independently disincentivize suicides for financial security by making the payout lower than a normal life-insurance payout typically would be.
There's value in automation across different devices. Just a silly example: I've got a CO₂ monitor in my office. If the level goes above a certain threshold, it triggers a fan and changes the color of an LED light strip to alert me.
you cannot write a generic function that returns a modified slice without losing types. that, in my book, means hard to write.

...which makes it also very easy to read.
Good point - I missed that.
I like Go and have no major complaints about it. I especially like the highly performant garbage collector and the fact that there are a lot of libraries for it. With the libraries you have to be careful, though, quality of 3rd-party libraries differs a lot on Github.

There is also one point of critique, I believe that Go got its concurrency primitives wrong. I fear people will hate me for saying this, but I say it because almost every library I've tested that uses lots of goroutines fails or produces some serious concurrency errors at one point or another. Not only are there many race conditions in Go code, there are also many libraries that silently fail. For example, scan Github for parallel directory walkers or check out uses of sync.atomic.

I personally believe that both transactional memory and the actor model are easier to use although it might be harder to implement and make them efficient. I also think that thread local storage and Goroutine identities would have been useful, despite what the language purists say. Generally speaking, I think Go's choices of concurrency primitives are too low level. (I'm not saying there is anything wrong with them per se, just too low-level for most of Go's users, and I'm not excluding myself in this assessment.)

Why not take the B12 substitute directly?

I take 1 1000% daily reccomended dose per day, as per consultation with my doctor.
Together with D3, Folic Acid, and Iron.

Most people are vitamin deficient, meat eating/milk drinking or not, unless you actively substitute.

It's all the same stuff anyways.
B12 is produced by bacteria living on the ground. Which would normally bio accumulate in livestock.
Howeve since most livestock is fed with silo feed, theyd too get B12 deficiency, if it wasn't substituted.

So you have the choice of eating B12 directly with a lot of control over dosage, or have the livestock swallow the pill for you.
Seems like an inefficient intermediary step.
I can already see the repair-ability of electric cars getting as bad as some Apple hardware. Maybe someone should create an open design of a barebones electric car complete with RPi-based ECM or other open hardware/software. Or have a company do all the hard work as in a Pinephone equivalent of electric cars, a market I could see having some viability while leaving others free to tinker and modify to their needs. One configuration for 4wheel offroad truck, one for street car and so on.

Coincidentally, one reason I like to justify OSS is that when we buy things, we typically know how it works or can look under the hood and check things out as with cars but we can't do so with closed source programs. Why should we start to accept that it's ok that manufacturers think we shouldn't know how the things we buy works? The mechanical nature of cars has given them a more open legacy, well disregarding software, sensors and such, and I hope it continues.
Thanks for reporting this! We'll take a look.

I might not have been able to add an extra 5 days to said trip, and definitely couldn't now, where I only get a week of paid leave every six months or so.

Interesting! This really speaks to me. In my opinion your language can have the most foreign concepts or unusual ways how you should optimize code.

But only if it is well documented. And that is really the problem with Julia. Besides some video tutorials, which I don't find helpful, you only have the manual which is not that good.

I said this before here but if you look at Rust which has unique characteristics like the borrow checker and is often described as having a steep learning curve: I was never overwhelmed by it or even felt it was difficult because there is much high-quality material to help you: The amazing book, rust by example and a lot of great third party resources like cheats.rs or the "rust in simple language".

The other day I was trying to look for julia books. Most of them were outdated and people advised against buying them (or the publisher pulled them already).
really? America is far cleaner than it was in the 70-90s. but I'm sure giving a bunch of money to folks in Paris and Kyoto while they allow developing nations to dump smog like it was going out of style will fix this problem right up!

“Morons Funding the Fight Against Morons” is IMHO a widely-applicable paradigm.

For example, I’ve always thought that we could “wind down” the existence of lotteries not by banning them altogether (for surely many people would be upset with such a decision) but rather 1. banning private lotteries; and then 2. having a single state-owned lottery commission, that is regulated by a law that forces it to be this type of “for-profit but we donate all profits” corp, with the profits funneled directly into public statistics education. Hopefully it would work as a negative-feedback system: the more money flowing through the lottery system, the fewer innumerate people there would be who think it’s a good idea to play the lottery, until eventually nobody wants to play the lottery at all and the state-owned lottery commission can close down with no complaints.

Are there other examples of MFFAM that already exist in the world? Or do you have an MFFAM idea of your own that you’d like to see implemented?
I find this hard to believe. Here is my epistemic estimation: if this were legitimate, it would be huge news. I've been hearing about this for several years now but somehow it never amounts to anything. I would have expected large scale cattle studies by now but I have not seen any of those.

Subsequent steps? I'm not sure. We need to collectively get the feeling that it's gone way too far and the costs of sticking up for people like RMS are i) smaller than they seem, and ii) worth it.

That's pretty much what I meant although, as noted in another comment, I assume there are cases where they would try to claw back relocation or signing bonuses. Also, of course, things like RSU vesting.

Perhaps F1 should skip that kind of electrification and go straight to virtualization, as an e-sport? :)

I get your point about driver skill being the key currently, though I think F1 was most interesting when the optimal car for the ruleset was not so nailed down. That's what makes BattleBots interesting to me as a sport: design is a huge factor in the outcome. Electric F1 could bring back some diversity of design if the rules can be made flexible enough without compromising safety.

> My government has been caught lying over and over “for the public good” during this pandemic

All governments do it. It's just that some are so good at lying that a large part of the naive population actually believe that the government is doing things for their own good. People generally have been indoctrinated when they are very young in schools.

>You may live in a democracy, but we don’t.

This is also true the world over. Elections in 'democracies' are a sham. Notice the people who get elected, they are often the same group of elites. A 'democratic' society is one where the dictators have mastered the art of a bloodless coup. A vote gives your average Joe citizen the illusion of have a say when in reality has little or none.

In the end what generally makes a better society is generally overall 'better' citizens. (however one may define 'better')
Yeah I’ve had totally the opposite experience. I would inherit dumpster fire Scala code based and found the language always gave me the tools I would need to apply refactorings with surgical precision, always maintaining some invariant (e.g. code compiles, test pass, etc...) for each commit.

By the end of whatever work I was doing, there was always the added benefit of the code base looking and feeling much better. Plus it’d take maybe 1/5 as much time to do a huge refactor compared to my experience in say Java.

I really don’t understand why people have such a hard time with Scala, other than its very different from imperative ways or doing things.

"because he is a prominent figure and at the same time white, male"

Oh right. I probably confused parent posters words for .. I don't know. Isn't he or she (less likely) exactly saying this? That RMS was targeted because he is white and male and not because of what he did and said? How is that not thinking along the lines of conspiracy? Exaggerated, yes. But strawman? Where exactly?
Would there be perhaps less feed grown if cows were supplemented with other feed? If 20% less of the cows' calories come from methane-producing sources, 20% less land/duty cycle is needed for cattle grazing/growing feed, so other things can be grown or don't get cropped as quickly.
Fair enough, the whole SI-2712 debacle is indeed a source of issues well beyond Spark but in general it's just a matter of adding a compiler flag to sort it out. The other example is of course the whole mess of macros...

On the other side though, strict backwards compat creates it's own set of costs (that are often harder to quantify. Java backwards compatibility is great but it seems like it is also at least prat of the reason Java moves at such a glacial pace.
I always wrap the actual cp/mv/rm etc in echo first before actually running it e.g. running echo "mv $src i" first would have immediately highlighted the problem visually.
I've got a question that may be stupid. So if you cut the same amount of grass a cow would eat every day and let it rot, then over the course of (say) a year both would release the same amount of methane overall. Do we know if this is the same as if we did nothing to that grass - just let it grow and sit there, without repeatedly cutting it back? Because to me this seems to be what you'd want to compare against.

I find it embarrassing that this is the top comment on this post. Not only is this comment mostly incoherent, it's pretty far from the facts at hand. These aren't hard to find, you can search Google or read the paragraph on Stallman's Wikipedia page.[0]

Richard Stallman attempt to defend Marvin Minsky's involvement with Jeffrey Epstein was offensive. CNet[1] has a recap of the email thread (I believe Motherboard first reported it[2]) if you are interested in the details. The part highlighted by CNet was this:

>Stallman's resignation comes just days after Motherboard published an email thread in which Stallman suggests that "most plausible scenario" is that one of Epstein's underage victims "presented herself to [former colleague Marvin Minsky] as entirely willing."

>When someone else on the thread points out that Virginia Giuffre was 17 when she was forced to have sex with Minsky, a pioneer in artificial intelligence and founder of the Media Lab, Stallman argued that "it is morally absurd to define 'rape' in a way that depends on minor details such as which country it was in or whether the victim was 18 years old or 17."

In my opinion, this is very different from someone claiming that Stallman "made them feel uncomfortable".

Wow, listen to a few podcasts and educate yourself. Try Peter Attia at the very least.
We could try to quantify the simplicity of an electric vs a combustion engine car. Let's count the number of different fluid systems in a regular car.

There's the fuel, engine oil, coolant, transmission oil, brake fluid, windshield washing liquid and air conditioning fluid.
Battery acid we don't count as they are sealed nowadays, and you replace it as a unit.

I think an electric car needs battery coolant, I assume fixed ratio gear still has oil that needs changing. Then brake fluid, windshied washing liquid and air conditioning fluid are just the same as in a combustion car.

So I think we got rid of fuel and engine oil, they are the messiest and need most touch labor, but basically all the other was left intact. It's not an insignificant improvement, but there's still lots of maintenance targets left.
It's very opiniated language.

And to be fair, I prefer to do this in 2 lines, since it's simpler to read (less going on in each line.)

Not only that - - - but the effect of the red seaweed wears off over time as gut microbiota adjust to the methane depressant . . . .
> None of those studies take this into account, they all just measure what comes into a cow and what comes out, but no one takes into account the amount of methane produced from the same feed even without cows involved.

Nobody's missing anything. That feed wouldn't have been planted in the first place if it weren't for feeding the cows. And that would translate to less deforestation [1].

On one hand this is a great solution to people ruining lease vehicles by not using the free maintenance they include...

But I'd love to know what model is doing this, sounds kind of absurd.

The furthest I've seen them go is letting the dealer know your service interval is coming so they can call you and schedule an appointment, but you can turn that off, and their intervals are extremely long (like 15k, almost triple what one would expect for most of their engines)

Interesting, but still I don't think your comment is very relevant to this. Without cows we could have a forest instead of grass, instead of leaving it to rot. So if the number of cows remains constant you benefit from reducing methane emissions.
