Yep, to a large degree, at least. American thinking is thoroughly colonized by powerful corporations. In the absence of a real culture, you are left with consumerist zombies. So when Washington comes knocking at your door to "liberate you" and "spread freedom", just know that this is a large part of what they mean.
I can’t really see how the value of employee contributions are capped at the least valuable thing they have the responsibility to do.

As for the second part of your reply, I entirely agree. When employees catch the vision of the company as a whole, it makes sense that they would be motivated to bring something to the table on their free time. Much harder to do within larger orgs.
And then there is me who has no idea about ads. NoScript, PiHole and uBlock Origin tend to do that so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yes I do think it's an american thing to buy a separate engagement ring, having a prominent diamond, in addition to wedding rings (which often don't have diamonds).

My family in Europe doesn't have the whole engagement ring concept.
How does this compare to Apache Echarts (https://echarts.apache.org/en/index.html) ?

Don't disagree. Hard bit is knowing how to find that info out!
Most information is lost when light hits the sensor. You mentioned a few ways we might be able to capture more of that. But until we get all that we can play with that information through lenses.
Federal regulations prevent a race to the bottom for things like pollution, labor rights, etc. And IP, internet, and other regulations only make sense at a federal level.

But, in terms of how to lay out a town in terms of residential zones vs. commercial zones, sure that should be local.
Why would anybody do anything in camera vs digital? Because somethings just aren't the same when done in post. Is this one of them? Maybe the person doing something physically isn't a software person to make something that doesn't exist now, but they have old lenses laying around and are not afraid to tinker. Much faster results. The "bokeh" from these smart phone cameras are still annoyingly not right, so there's that aspect as well.
Share repos afforded by low interest rates really helped big tech and other profitable enterprises. It allowed them to make acquisitions and retain talent.
Diamonds are not forever. They burn in a fire like any carbon.
Hmm if it’s a question of mental capacity, I don’t really have anything to add. That’s a good point.
This is cool in two ways.

1) He is using physical elements to get the interesting shot. There is something that is difficult to describe, but innately alluring about "real" or physical aspects of our increasingly digital world. The bending of light, the crystals in film, the feeling of the pages of a real book. There is something about the medium itself carrying meaning, even if the actual communicated value is the same. Perhaps it speaks to a timelessness, or durability of good ideas, beautiful pictures, and powerful words that can last thousands of years. Where as in the digital realm, my worlds sometimes only last as long as the hard drive they live on. I think it is deeper than that. Physicality is something we can relate to, touch, smell, taste, we experience it far deeper than an abstract concept represented by pixels on a screen.

E.g. Why is a book better than a PDF? I have no good answer.

2) Although being in photography for decades, I was unaware of this specific effect when manipulating the elements inside a lens. I had no idea this effect was possible. The tinkering, the curiosity followed down a path few would bother with, isn't that what hackers are all about? I am inspired by His diving deep on topics of interest.
Isn't that a well studied problem, applicable to many fields?

Here the article is about people, but the same reasoning can be made with computers or service centers. I mean, no sysadmin will expect their network to be a 100% capacity all the time. We have mathematical models for that, the stuff with binomial laws and Poisson distributions.

So how can we expect people to be 100% efficient if even machines can't be 100% efficient?
> Most other chains use some form of proof-of-stake.

I don't think this matters unless you weigh these chains by something like popularity or market cap - who cares if a blockchain used by a few hundred people is using PoS? Bitcoin and Ethereum are the two big ones and neither use PoS (yet)[1]. Also, we have new blockchains like Chia that have found novel ways to waste resources that don't involve PoW.

[1] People have been saying that Ethereum is "moving to proof-of-stake" for years. Here's an article saying it's going to happen in Dec 2020 after a Jan 2020 deadline was missed: https://www.exodus.com/blog/ethereum-proof-of-stake-date/ Is this time different? I don't know. But saying Ethereum is moving to proof of stake is like saying "the market is going to crash". Yes, maybe, but when?
Huh? My money stays in my bank. If I want to spend it in another state that's what Visa and MasterCard enable, or I can carry cash, or directly transfer to another bank account in another bank across state lines. My bank can do business with any number of companies offering the ability to spend money nationally such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Coinbase, etc. Separating these concerns is good for consumers because it encourages competition and innovation and banks themselves are incentivized to offer access to new capabilities instead of preserving the status quo because they profit from owning the means of spending money.
It's a cliche, but what passes for love is often attachment. I actually can't quite differentiate between the two (though I'm not saying they're the same thing). Shedding attachment can be extremely painful, when it's involuntary. Ironically, it's over-attachment that precipitates divorce.
I’m not disagreeing with you, and as a very general advice, less allocation is better of course.

My point was more along the way that sometimes very non-intuitive (from a low-level perspective) solutions may optimize better, because that’s what the compiler writers optimized for.

And object pools at least in Java is not necessarily good. The first go at it should be the plainest implementation one can imagine (on a micro level. Of course architecturally it is important to think about optimization, like whether it will be a class or an array, etc.)
The Zeiss, like the huge majority of ~50mm lenses in existence, is a so-called Double-Gauss design [1] (yes, that Gauss [2]). The role of the interior doublet is mostly to reduce aberrations, so reversing it basically has the opposite effect (at least spherical and chromatic aberration appear to go crazy). Would be interesting to see some raytrace diagrams of the modified lens.

There are two advantages that the family business has: they get to pick the son (In South America, it's usually the son, but in China it's frequently the daughter), it's not always the oldest, and sometimes when there are no suitable sons they go outside the family. In contrast, succession to monarchies is usually fixed, but crafty monarchies often pick the successor as well, such as Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia and Kim Jong Un in North Korea.

I'd be surprised if this is truly the first time. I'm guessing that there is someone that was assembling a lens and did this by mistake. After seeing the results, saw it wasn't right, and then went back in to see what needed to be corrected.

> The quote operator cannot be used for writing control structures in Lisp

I'm not sure this is what they had in mind, but I've actually done pretty much this when bootstrapping. Eg:

(if cond id quote))
((do-if tee) (foo)) # (id (foo))
((do-if nil) (bar)) # (quote (bar))
I agree about the porn thing, but I'd argue that is not so much one of the major issues surrounding it so much as teens not having sex at the rates they used to. More teens are entering college as virgins, men aren't being taught how to navigate social/sexual relationships by their fathers or friends, media content online holds greater value over real personal relationships, and frankly videogames nowadays have all but turned into time wasting gambling. I mean if you put a weak willed person in a room with any vice they'd want, they're gonna fail. And we're packed to the brim with vices. Now how do you expect any impressionable young man growing up to not become jaded because dating is bar none more difficult than it has ever been? Not only that, the fear of getting the girl pregnant and she keeps it or divorce. I feel like with all the stories about how men appear to get the short end of the stick oftentimes, it's led to a jaded understanding of the system.

True - but as a longtime crypto pro the sentiment is still accurate IMO.

See recent article https://decrypt.co/66740/who-are-the-fastest-growing-develop...

> There are more than 8,000 monthly active developers working on various cryptocurrency projects, according to the Developer Report, produced by Electric Capital, a venture firm, with some 80% of those developers starting in the last two years.

> The current leader in terms of people actively contributing to the development of a network is Ethereum, with approximately 2,300 average monthly developers - those who were active on a monthly basis, according to the Developer Report. The number actively working on Ethereum has grown by 215% in 3 years.
I like that you can still buy Birdseye brand frozen foods in the Grocery store.
We don't actually know much about who controls the eth supply. Their pre-mine recipients were mostly anonymous and with the fast majority going to a few addresses. For all you know they recycled received funds back out in their crowd sale and bought multiple times.

Participation was limited because US residents-- by far the largest population of cryptocurrency users-- were prohibited from participating (though of course some did). [Edit: A comment below claims otherwise, I don't actually see support for that in my source, and my own correspondence from the time states that it wasn't. I'm not sure if something changed around the launch, or if I'm somehow mistaken.]

I dunno anything about winklevoss speculation, people often include funds held in custody as if they're owned by the custodian and reach weird conclusions. It's easy to list ethereum accounts that hold >=1% of all ethereum: 0x281055afc982d96fab65b3a49cac8b878184cb16, 0x6f46cf5569aefa1acc1009290c8e043747172d89, 0x90e63c3d53e0ea496845b7a03ec7548b70014a91, 0x53d284357ec70ce289d6d64134dfac8e511c8a3d, 0xab7c74abc0c4d48d1bdad5dcb26153fc8780f83e, 0xfe9e8709d3215310075d67e3ed32a380ccf451c8; while the largest Bitcoin address is under 1%. (Of course, parties can have multiple addresses, and as mentioned some parties hold coins for many other people)

Moreover, regardless of the distribution Bitcoin had no premine: Everyone who has Bitcoin received it in a open process available to the whole world with no particular privilege other than knowing and caring about it when it was almost worthless before other people did. (well, I suppose except for those people who stole theirs :)).

We don't actually know how many Bitcoin Satoshi-- if he's still alive-- owns: there are guesses based on assuming various earlier miners might have been him, but they're guesses. The 1M claim specifically is flat out false: it comes from counting up every coin mined during the first year that was still on spent at the time the figure started circulating a few years ago. It includes many coins known to have been mined by other people, including likely myself.

Autocomplete.js is the successor of twitter/typeahead. It's a source-agnostic autocomplete JavaScript library that has just been rewritten to allow for more autocomplete UIs and better stability.

Of course it works with Algolia indexes, but it can also work with any type of asynchronous data sources.
Do Wide and Deep Networks Learn the Same Things?
The point of ads isn't always to get a reaction. Clicks are the grand goal of course but mere impressions are valued by marketing standards as well. The fact that the target audience sees the ad, even if only passing by while scrolling is widely considered a success by marketing standards. And equally needless to say but I'll say it anyway; that's the very point of Zuck leeching, so the ads will find the target audience.

Agree with you there that this isn't much of a privacy leak as the average user mostly knows what's going on. I'd guess the article wasn't really meant to point out a threat to privacy, maybe more on the lines of "FB doesn't want to share it's methods of using the information it gathers". Shocking...

If having no advanced courses is best for everyone, as that study claims, then there's no need to think about those questions you raised, is there? There's no dilemma, since both gifted and ordinary students are best served by the same kind of program.
This is cool, but I think I'd have done the design just a little differently. The author noted that seeing when the sunset was had some effect on his perception of day length. I think I'd design a similar clock to have sunrise and sunset markers, and the continuous bar would show the position within 24hrs. That would make me even more aware of which parts of the day I was using, and their relative durations.

It's the other way around, Doge being worth more than Ford and Twitter is just the billionth datapoint which tells you this is the world we live in.

If you somehow managed to miss all the others, this one is your opportunity to surrender to this fact. You got to take your opinion, blindfold it, load it in a truck and put a couple of bullets in the back of its head.

Accept that your opinion is worth nothing it and start betting on people's opinions.

Apparently new cars sold since 2018 have to have a way to automatically contact emergency services after a crash, so they all probably come with a SIM card: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECall

My guess is the manufacturer wants to upload "diagnostic" data, they would just use that same SIM card. And you probably can't disable it because it's a legal requirement (or, maybe you can on your Volvo?).

Maybe one could just put a prepaid SIM card with zero bandwidth quota/zero call credits, because those are still able to call the emergency number.

Interestingly the automatic "call the cops" function means hit and runs would be a lot harder, since the cops would get a timestamp of an accident, and a phone number as a car identifier...
> goods and services I may desire or need

Well the thing is the amount of resources spent on advertisement is usually inversely proportional to the amount of resources spent on "goods and services i may desire or need".

I'm not saying it should be illegal to post about what you do. But advertisement is paying people to relay your message they couldn't care less about. It's not the same as people recommending products/services, although the frontier has become blurrier now with all those "sponsored" articles/videos.
I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I should’ve added that I’ve seen your commitment to transparency through the whole process, so the info about Discord doesn’t really come as a surprise. Thanks and good luck!

I'm so tired of this arrogant attitude. "Why should I do something in the real world when I can simulate it with a good-enough-but-ultimately-inferior digital process?"
I wonder how that happens. Going from love to intolerance. It's weird that we can't just put feelings aside and do what's best for the kid.
Those SPARCStations are fantastic little machines, I still have an LX, has even a 486 SBUS card, was my main PC mid 90s for years (I run win95 on the card)

Most issues with the machine were :
bad NVRAM battery, can be fixed by "hack" the NVRAM chip
and failed (caps leaking) PSU, its dead easy to rewire it with a SFF PSU (alas the power button on the keyboard does not work to power-on the machine)
Gorgeous! I have a soft spot for an unusual clock design or orrery. I've been trying to learn Adafruit's NeoPixels for a quasi-similar project and the world of soldering and wiring is way different than firing up a new Git repository!
I suspect that insurance coverage is going to require strong telemetry at some point.

Obviously a person could pick a car of a given year/model that meets their needs and rebuild it forever, at least until the government or (once again) the insurance companies regulate you out of it. It's for the children after all.

It's a great thing we are finally starting to talk about these issues in a normal way instead of ridiculing them.
I agree with this. Maybe it doesn't apply to everyone, but I feel it can apply to most people.

For a while, I could have been described as "incel" (as in the literal description of the term, not the negative connotations it has picked up). I was not exactly popular with the ladies, and my dating history was close to nonexistent. My now wife was my first girlfriend and we met when I had pretty much thrown in the towel and given up on romantic relationships.

In an alternate version of my life I could have lived the single life and filled it with other activities and material possessions. I could imagine myself being happy to some extent living like that into my 30s, my 40s, maybe even early 50s. But after that?

Now I can't imagine life without her at my side.

I think there is a lot to be said for having a life partner that is beyond just a good friend and always has your back (yes I'm aware not all relationships/marriages are functional). Especially as the two of you grow older.

I feel the same about kids. We don't have immediate plans for kids. Right now we can imagine living without kids forever, but at the same time we also feel this will change and we'll regret not having one when we are in our 50s 60s or 70s, etc.
