A certified laser etched diamond is a mass produced item that is pretty easy to authenticate. The brand name store selling it to you is invisible once it’s on your hand. There’s no such thing as a “used” diamond.

So the diamond is worth whatever it can be bought / sold for online. If walking out of the store drops it’s value, you’re donating to the store.

Buy an exactly equivalent stone elsewhere if the price drops too much after you buy it.
Monetary damages from a company that just fired you is quite straightforward. And it’s quite simple to prove no data was exfiltrated. So through discovery, get email and network traffic, show no data sent inappropriately.

This does seem like it’s straightforward, if valid. It may take time, but the longer it drags on, the higher the monetary damages.

This is also something where you retain an attorney and go about your life. It’s not like I take an active role in a defamation lawsuit.

Of course it’s not simple, but I think GP’s post is right in that were Google’s public statements wrong, it would be a big settlement. Thus it seems to me that they know what they said and make accurate statements.
"I particularly remember the keyboards"

I particularly remember "Stop A"
From the article: "The genetically engineered males carry a gene that passes to their offspring and kills female progeny in early larval stages. Male offspring won’t die but instead will become carriers of the gene and pass it to future generations. As more females die, the Aedes aegypti population should dwindle."
Why dont they try looking for dietary causes since we literally are what we eat. As an anecdote, I suffered a mild gloominess to everything when I was a teenager. In uni I stopped eating white bread and voila. What we eat really has a direct impact on our mental health so there is a lever to pull rather than the pie in the sky claims of technology causing people anguish.
Running FreeBSD Jails with containerd 1.5
I find it helps to remember that diamonds are a status symbol and a form of conspicuous consumption. People often want as much of that expensive, visible status and commitment signal as they can get.

Part of the significance of the gesture is the level of painful expense involved. So making the item much cheaper also cheapens the gesture.
Filebot Alternative Tools You Must Consider to Organize and Rename Media Files
Filebot is an apparatus that assists you with getting sorted out and renames film, anime, and TV documents. It is likewise extraordinary for getting captions for movies and TV shows you have downloaded. Everybody knows that FileBot was the best programming for renaming and overseeing records and downloading captions. Yet, what happened that individuals are searching for Filebot choices? In its underlying advancement stage, FileBot was an open-source project that exclusively depended on crowdfunding.

plants are nifty little machines, which - while their efficeny might not be optimal - also produce all their parts. Go look at one of the papers doing Re-based CO2-dissociation and shop for the chemicals!
There's a very strong chance I am completely wrong about this but my feeling on the matter is as follows.

As long as mined diamonds are profitable there is a strong incentive for criminal interests to hinder any attempts to improve the lot of the local inhabitants so they have a continued supply of very cheap labour. If you make diamond mining unprofitable then the criminal elements move on to other more profitable enterprises. This leaves the local populace free from interference, and efforts by aid agencies to improve their lot may have a better chance of succeeding.

Hello, Excalidraw+ cofounder here. The z-index syncing should be fixed now in Excalidraw+. The fix should make its way to the base app soon, after we're confident it works correctly.

The performance of the collaboration servers is now taking the front seat and should improve in the coming weeks.

As for the window alerts — yes, that's a pain point in both apps but we're working on it. It should be better than last time you tried it, let us know what you think.

We'd be happy if you file an issue or drop a message on our Discord channels with any other feedback you have!

Few people outside of a satanic cult would actually require a blood diamond specifically. But people do have different tolerances to the risk of getting a stone that isn't as "conflict-free" as the jeweler says it is.

Interesting reading, thanks for that. I have learned something. I was intentionally liberal with my use of the word "believe", because it seems difficult (to me) to prove the relationship without that piece of paper. I imagine (note I say imagine, this is based on no evidence or research),you could challenge it successfully in a court of law though, if required, for some reason?

The myth aside, I don't think you have "no" rights, the first link says "fewer". It's really hard to prove something without an "official" document though so I understand how it could be more complicated.

For me 90,000 homes sound like not very useful and potentially misleading number. What would be useful to know: peak power output (MW), annual generation (GW·h) if the grid will accept energy whenever it is available, and annual generation expectation given typical energy demand (which will be lower given that midday is likely not a peak hour).

This is interesting. The biggest problem I have with my Bose is that they are listening to another device (e.g. my phone) instead of my macbook, even if they are Bluetooth connected.

Do you have good experiences with useful (non prototype) reverse debuggers for Python, or Java or Javascript? I would like not just links to projects that you can google for, but real world experience telling if something is useful or not.
Since it's a static database and the queries against it are most likely going to be static, just pre-run the queries and store the results statically in a more space-efficient format. When you're on a dogshit internet connection in a 3rd world country 50kb can actually be pretty unpleasant. Try rate limiting your internet to EDGE rated to see what I mean.

I'm not saying the whole thing isn't impressive, just that the concept itself is one of those "because I can" rather "because I should" things, which kinda devalues it a whole lot.
I really like your idea on a personal 'neat' would-be-nice level, but it makes one of the most common mistakes in the nuclear<->climate-change discussion: time.

The development of next-gen/thorium/msr/whatever from first-commercial-success to repeatable-and-therefore-cheaper is, even in a highly optimistic scenario, a 30+ year proposition. I fervently believe we should fund and invest in that r&d, but even if it pans out (which I bet it would, but you have to acknowledge its our guess), its simply not a part of our "it is time to act now" timeline.

I do this all the time too, its largely a part of the fact that many of us are middle aged men now. We were taught to think of, and mentally frame this as, an "over the course of the next several decades" type of problem. In which case a nuclear solution was fairly obviously the best path available.

The problem is we didn't take that path. And the decades have passed. So while we should start down that path now ASAP from an r&d/investment perspective, it is almost completely a distraction today from a "net-zero in 20-30 years" perspective.

I guess what I'm mostly trying to say is, whenever engaging in the climate-change/energy-generation-mix "debate" these days, try to mentally factor in time as one of the top constraints in your model. Here's an IPCC chart of four example scenarios that show you what the slope of the curves need to look like:

Again (for the third time) are you aware if fractions of bitcoin can be sent from one account to another? Or does it have to be one whole bitcoin?
Again I don't know.

I'm just thinking theoretically you could convert bitcoin into bitcoin_plus and these coins represent 0.0001 of a bitcoin. And tada you have 100 million coins in circulation etc.

Agreed entirely with everything you said. I have no degree but my employer saw potential and was happy to train me on the job, including guiding me through getting actual industry standard certs.

I get an impression that a degree is much more of a necessity in the US than anywhere else and I’m not in the US, so that should be noted I think, but still if you have potential, knowledge, passion and a willingness to learn (they go hand in hand), and most importantly some actual real life experience, you can be attractive to the right employer.

100% accurate. There's no counter-argument to be made to what you said, because it was in fact complete gibberish that only make sense in libertarian fantasy land. In reality, none of what you said even means anything.
I've lived in Norway (>30 years), Ireland (>10 years) and in California (3.5 years). There's extreme differences in culture around dog ownership in different areas. In the time I lived in Norway, nobody I knew had abandoned a dog. Getting a dog is a commitment for the lifetime of the dog; the only cases I've heard of relocation of dogs from anybody I knew has been for medical reasons (e.g. discovering somebody in the family has an allergy). In Ireland, it is similar, though people don't seem to take quite the same commitment (based on known several people that got dogs from shelters). In my relatively small social circle in California there were two families that got and handed off dogs in the 3.5 years I was there. It was just not seen as a big deal.
Youtube video ids used to be just base64 of a 3DES-encrypted mysql's primary key, a sequential 64-bit int - collisions are of zero concern there. By birthday paradox it's about as good as 128-bit UUID generated without using a centralized component like database's row counter, when you have to care about collisions.

However theft of the encryption key is a concern, since you can't rotate it and it just sat there in the code. Nowadays they do something a bit smarter to ensure ex- employees can't enumerate all unlisted videos.
This is a thought provoking question, certainly, but it also makes the basic assumption that the person you're asking already plans to have kids (and is not already a parent)

I'm set on not having children for moral reasons, so your question becomes a no-brainer for me. On that note... I wonder what people who already have children would think of this "deal"? On the one hand, they've already made their babies, but... on the other hand, they may be disinclined to outlive their children.

I'm the same way. My parents were very hands off in that respect (more because they were busy than anything else) and I wonder if that's had any negative effects on me, or if I should be more restrictive of my kids.
I thought the _Launch call to start a new program killed the current program, so I didn’t consider how to return to the original program. However, they my have changed that when MultiFinder was introduced.

I guess the proper way would have been to JMP to wherever a bare ‘G’ would have returned, not an RTS (if there is a proper way to do this kind of thing. I’m not sure the system guaranteed what you could do at that time. You might be in a memory manager call, which meant any drawing calls were off limits)

Fun memories.
Python Default Dict
Interesting take. However, consider that if one could learn multiple lifetimes of knowledge in one, it might achieve the same result. I’ve been developing a mindset called omnidisciplinary thinking (or “Thinking OMNI”) which encourages us to Engage with the Root of ideas and thought patterns in order to recognize and leverage their interconnectedness. The Root assumptions we make influence heavily how we can express and explore ideas. One can only express in a given language what that language allows. Right now, we have a boundary- and disciplinary-driven engagement with both knowledge and organizational structures which while a valid way to see the world isn’t the only way. The Thinking OMNI thought pattern is being made rigorous as we speak, yet even an intuitive understanding of it can help you today to manage complexity and reduce uncertainty.

Check us out on YouTube—“Omni Artisans”. If one could reduce the amount of effort it takes to accrue knowledge and drive powerful experiences, would one need to live forever per se?
> I suppose one explanation is that people who form close bonds with coworkers are going to be more likely to hanging out with others who form close bonds with coworkers and vice versa?

I mean, they are most likely to be hanging out with friends they made at work, who at that moment would also be hanging out with friends they made at work.
> Scientists have to build in "rent-seeking" properties

Nitpick: That's not what science is about. You are talking about engineering.

Science is a knowledge-seeking endeavor. Observe, build a theory, run experiments to refute or refine your theory.

Engineering is a constructive endeavor. Using knowledge acquired from science (see above), build something that solves a practical problem.
Seconded. Unless someone has family or is stuck up here for some reason, it's not worth it.

Nobody is serious about being competitive, it's all about trying to keep trudging along with whatever people are stuck here. All the talk about investing in tech and so on is just hot air.
I dont agree that tech is unrelated to mental health, but I like how you ended this comment. It shocks me how few parents actually listen to their kids. Even the otherwise good parents who invest enormous time and energy into their kids will do anything for them except actually listen to them. It's like they're so convinced that they already know what's going their child's mind that asking seems ridiculous.

Just to give a perspective on how much it'll cost, or is expected to cost.
Why are salaries so low in Canada? The difference for most technical and engineering jobs is huge.

It would make sense if the cost of living were lower but it isn’t. Rents and home prices are very high. Tech jobs in lower cost of living places in the US like Kentucky or Michigan often pay much higher than Canadian tech jobs.
And VP9 is patent encumbered but they have a license from MPEG-LA.

Right, and while interpreting them, we need to be cautious. Instead of seeing an effect and think "nah, doesn't fit my theory of natural selection, can't be, let's keep going" we should be more like "oh, this effect was not predicted by our theory, something fishy is going on, let's be cautious".

Yes. That does matter, a lot. Look up induced demand. Also consider that full-self driving will likely mean more cars on the road that don't even have a person in them.

Traffic backups and delays aren't just created from people crashing, it's because when you take a a dozen tiny humans and you put each of them in mostly > 15foot long cars, you now have 12 people managing to take up over 180 feet of space.

Speeding up emergency services is a solved problem. You take a lane that is filled with single-occupant vehicles, and you dedicate that to efficient forms of transit, whether it be a high-speed bus lane or a bike lane. Emergency services will not only opt to use that the majority of the time, they will also be less likely to crash with another vehicle due to not needing to weave lane to lane.

Hope this helps.
As a male giving a ring, I bought a real one. Logic was that it was cheaper and better quality once you get over ~1-1.25 carats. If lab made wants to compete more meaningfully they'll need to get better at the engagement ring size diamonds which I'm sure they will with time

My wife did her PhD on mosquitos and malaria.

She's been ranting about genetically modified mosquitos for as long as I know her, claiming it cannot and never will work, mainly because mosquitos have an insane amount of offspring and a very short lifespan.

They adapt so, so, so quickly.

A male mosquito lives a week, a female mosquito a few months at best, and they produce 300-600 eggs per female mosquito on average. Can you imagine the exponential growth and recovery rates of these animals? It's like sharing your grandmother with 45000 cousins, and each of your grandmother's 299 siblings has 45000 grandchildren as well. It's a big family very quickly.

There are stories of countries who tried to eradicate mosquitos and reduced the mosquito population to 1% of what it originally was, only to jump back to 100% within two years (or so, my memory is hazy) after the program stopped because politicians had declared the program a success.

Mosquitos man. I'm not sure we'll ever get rid of them. They will probably outlive us.
No, the mental health field is definitely a mixed bag. The concept of mental illness deserves close inspection.

For example, you can speak of mental illness as an objective disorder of the psyche. On the other, you can speak of mental illness as the pathologizing of immoral behavior as illness, or even moral behavior that departs from prevailing cultural expectations or the preferences of the powerful, and still further objective mental illness resulting from cultural expectations or the preferences of the powerful.

(A curious side effect of any metaphysical stance that denies the reality of function, a teleological concept, is that you have no objective reference by which to adjudicate. So you are generally left with either cultural expectation, preferences of the powerful, or personal preferences, which undermines the very idea of mental illness as such.)

People are easily attracted to the pathologizing of their discontents because it appears to offer an explanation and possibly something to blame. Of course, the relief one feels is not necessarily an indication that the belief is true. It may only be a distraction from the root cause which may in fact be moral (immoral behavior can generate mental illness) or cultural (living according to a consumerist ethos and its mental health effects).
They don't have quite the same iconic looking design, but a bargain if you have the Sparc retro bug is the Sun Blade 100/150. They sell on eBay for around $100-$200, and typically have a UltraSparc IIe 500Mhz processor and 256-512MB of RAM. They also support IDE, so no need for $100 of SCSI2SD.
