> But I assume rakes, at higher stakes, do add up really quickly...

I used to deal poker in a past life, here's an anecdote.

We started a low limit game and everyone (10 players) bought in for 60$ - 100$. Over the course of the next hour no one rebought and no new players came in. It was a pretty average game, no one was really 'hot'. After an hour one player noticed that everyone had less money than when the game started (even players that only won hands). He got up and left and I never saw him again.

We took a 5 + 1 rake (1 for jackpot) per hand. 40 hands an hour. 240$ removed from the table in that time span. Basically taking ~3 players money off of the table an hour.

Just for everyone's general information, The Cathedral and the Bazaar was written by Eric S. Raymond, an overt racist and white supremacist who once publicly stated that, "the average black American has an IQ about 85".

Wow... I didn't even know about that. I stand corrected.

SpaceX is still way ahead though.
Do you have any good examples of the First Mover Advantage? The most successful companies in many categories appear to not be first-movers (Google/search, Facebook/social, VW/cars, Sony/consoles). You would think by shear chance there would be more first-movers that lead a category.
True, but I don’t rotate them every day. Maybe once a week or month. Unlikely to not notice by that time.

With tape backup, you might keep a tape in cold storage for years.
Don Norman explains this in the latest edition of The Psychology of Everyday Things (amazing book on product and design, btw). Sometimes, it can take centuries before tech goes from idea to everyday reality in the hands of ordinary people. For example, the videophone was depicted in a famous illustration as early as 1879 [0] but it's only in the past two decades that mobiles have made them somewhat ubiquitous.

It is a shame, but it's expected, right? How many edges would a well connected graph of the US have (or rather need if we use nodes as passthrough), how much would this cost to build and operate, and how much would these be used compared to planes? I want to say that I would love better train infrastructure as well, and spending some time in New England has shown me what a fraction of a good one could be and I love it. That said, I don't see how it can be done financially possible, with extremely rough overviews in my head.

I'm very ignorant on the topic, so please enlighten me if I'm missing some stuff, which is very possible. I'd honestly love to know.

SpaceX's starship uses methane which can be synthesized from CO2 and water - allowing it to be carbon neutral for a cost.

This sounds like libertarian talking point about business, I don't think it suits very well into the discussion.

It’s kinda funny to see even the SpaceX fans miss a broader point. SpaceX could probably sell orbital trips on Falcon on the regular but they are out of reach of most nearly everyone except the US government whom needs manned flight for staffing the space station (thank goodness or we’d never get space progress)

The excitement and noise over suborbital flight is good, but in terms of achievement, Blue origin has yet to deliver on their major promises. I have confidence they will get there, but credit where credit is due, Spacex is getting it done.

"The company said Tina did not report the racial slur and it was not detected by the site's moderation system because it was pluralised."

Drat! If only there were some way a moderation system could detect these clever variations. Hackers are always one step ahead with pluralization.
It's not an either-or thing, that's the thing. You can get more regulations (the 'with teeth' being the key part as in many major cities AirBnB hosts short term rentals that are illegally on the short term market) and want the company shut down too. It also doesn't help that AirBnB doesn't do anything to help countries in terms of finding these illegal letters, or in taxes (this might have changed, but I know it used to be an issue in Ireland where AirBnB didn't collect the taxes and it was up to the owner to pay, with expected results), yet loves to take advantage of them.

And then there are good ideas that are impossible to execute. "Software that identifies all discrepancies between data in different systems" for example. Sounds great but in practice that is just ETL and analytics. Nothing new.
Engage as in "treat it as important?" IMO first mover advantage is even less worthfull than "ideas." Two reasons:

One, first mover advantages rarely determine winners. Google followed altavista. FB followed Myspace. iphone followed N95s, palm pilot, blackberry, etc. Those earlier versions also had precedents, and for each precedent there are hundreds of attempts at creating commercial products.

Second, timescales. The above examples are years and decades. The typical founder pushing NDAs on everyone and their cat is thinking in months. There are almost no cases where someone is going to entrench themselves in an industry or create network effect in months. If they do, it's probably down to great execution anyway.

It's not that first mover advantage doesn't exist, it's just a smaller factor relative to execution. Competition generally, is unlikely to be a major factor. Also "major" and "minor" are a different sort of beast for a startup. Statistically, a startup has a very low chance of success. Say the chance of success is 5%. You can think of that as 50% chance of not being executed at all. 30% chance of being executed poorly. 10% chance of failing to appeal to customers/users. 2% chance of dying because of founder disputes. 1% chance of being a stupid idea. 0.5% chance of being killed by competition. etc.

Gosh, I played a few of these games as a kid. That lead to the thought - Huh, the things I played with as a kid are now museum exhibits. SMH and mutters something about lawns.

Never been to the place but looks like one of those cool places to go to when in the area so it's a shame about it shutting down.
I misread the chain.
When I was growing up the only people who had a chance to go where these four people went were trained for years by a nation-state. It was incredibly dangerous and it was only those who the government approved who might make the trip.

I just saw four pretty regular people - including one I believe subbed in at the last minute - take a trip and it cost a fraction of what it used to. The high price tag means it’s still nowhere near accessible to most people as flying in a plane or taking a train, but it’s a lot more accessible than it was when I was a kid, and by the time my kids are adults it is likely to be more than just a pipe dream.

I still remember what it was like to catch a plane for the first time and how I would count the number of trips I would take on a plane because it was just so outside my normal experience. Maybe one of my kids will have a chance to feel the same way about flying to space.
Well Japan has a little bit of a population density advantage over the US. This seems to be an important factor when looking at where rail has been most successful for commuters.

That sounds more complex than it needs to be. You could just mint a coin and hand it out to some marginalized group.

The value of a coin is whatever people will exchange it for. If you're planning to make it a stablecoin that will buy it up at a fixed rate that differs between holders, you'll be arbitraged to death.

If you mint a BLM coin and hand it out to whoever you think deserves reparations (good luck with that), it'll be worth whatever they can trade it for. I have no idea what that might be. For all I know it'll go to the MOON.

It'll probably turn into a nightmare, with people trading them for pizza and then going to the MOON once it's out of the hands of its original audience. But anything you do to make it worth more to them than to others will be arbitraged away.

> Imagine if your spouse told you, “I have an idea for a delicious 10-course meal. You should spend the next few days researching each dish, buying the ingredients, testing different versions, preparing the final meal, and serving it plate by plate at a dinner party. We’ll split the credit 50/50.”

I am nowhere near the experienced meditator or Buddhist student that the author is but this part stuck out: " I described how on numerous occasions all my thoughts disintegrated and I bathed for extended periods of time in states of deep, non-conceptual bliss. I thought awakening was right around the corner "

Isn't this particularly warned against in meditation?
To me this is more akin to trance and in Buddhism, more akin to escapism and self-delusion.
From a magical perspective, it seems obvious this guy was playing with fire.

Just like the quote about how one can travel extensively and still leave all their preconceptions intact, people can meditate a lot and still leave their attachments intact.
My impression was not that meditation leads to bliss; that's some New Age pap. It leads to awareness, and that includes the good, the bad, and the ugly.

It sounds like the author may have delved into meditation enough to access the control panel, but that is a dangerous place to be. It's why there are so many safeguards built around it in the first place. I am just surprised that this was unexpected.

"Ahead" implies the same end goal... Neither Virgin Galactic (the suborbital space tourism company) or Virgin Orbit (the orbital small-sat launch company) have the same end goal as SpaceX.

That's like saying Lockheed Martin (maker of the F-35) is "way ahead" of Textron (maker of the Cessna). They have different goals entirely.
Yes, it is a pity. On the other hand, Germany is only around 1000 km north to south, and most distances can be done in a few hours with conventional high speed trains. And it doesn't look like there'll be export opportunities for a Transrapid anytime soon to, say, the US, or China...
If you would have actually read the report, you would have known the attacks are not specifically device or mobile OS bound. They simply say that iOS leaves behind more useable traces.

From paragraph 10:

Much of the targeting outlined in this report involves Pegasus attacks targeting iOS devices. It is important to note that this does not necessarily reflect the relative security of iOS devices compared to Android devices, or other operating systems and phone manufacturers. In Amnesty International’s experience there are significantly more forensic traces accessible to investigators on Apple iOS devices than on stock Android devices, therefore our methodology is focused on the former. As a result, most recent cases of confirmed Pegasus infections have involved iPhones.
Wikipedia is awesome as long as there is zero political content in an article. Of course you need to look at primary sources.

I don't think writing something angry about a politician or public persona is a too great offense, good that people are interested at least and the community often did a great job of cleaning that up when feelings cooled down.

But the propaganda wars in recent times are on a whole other level, especially since there are PR firms that found out about the prevalence of Wikipedia in peoples lives.

The articles about ant-eaters are still extremely awesome. Math is surprisingly stringent in what is regarded as relevant for an article, you don't find too much context. There are some advantages to that though.

Do we? I have a C-HR, and it's very underwhelming. Only reason I bought it was because I totaled my Honda, and we had bought a RAV4 for my wife less than a month before - we traded in 2 cars, so on my credit it looked like I had 4 loans outstanding at that moment, so that one dealership had all the paperwork to prove otherwise.

JR will make up the difference renting space at the new rail stations. It also isn’t very useless, a lot of people go between Tokyo and Nagoya (and I assume they plan to extend to Osaka), so this will just make those trips faster, creating even more integration in the corridor.

Institutions like that play an important role in democracy precisely because they can hold views opposing the mainstream and act as a moderating force even if they themselves aren’t ‘democratic’. The populist idea that institutions should kowtow to some Rousseauian ‘will of the people’ ideal can be damaging to democracy because it’s easy for someone like Orban to claim to speak for ‘the people’, so when institutions have to fall in line with ‘the people’ really they’re falling in line with Orban, and then you’ve not got a democracy.
Actually I was referring to the pedal thread thing that's an amazing improvement over the hassle pedals would be if they were both right-handed. And those pedal threads are still in use with far less change than their bearing innovations. There have been competing thread standards since then (all using that improvement), but much less than in any other place on the bike. Chances are that you could install the latest clipless carbon powermeter pedals (featuring 64MHz Cortex-M4s) on many pre-war bikes, from back when world wars didn't have an episode number. And they'd just work.
when Copenhagen Suborbitals does this i'll cheer (and theiy're getting close). Bezos and his resources should be able to do better.

Unfortunately some politicians care more about money from donors, and the healthcare and pharma lobbies donate a lot of money.

For example, why does the US government sanction countries that import or manufacture generic versions of patented drugs? Manufacturing these lifesaving drugs doesn't cost much. They could be sold much cheaper to a lot more people.

These politicians probably don't think of it as actively preventing healthcare, but medications could be as cheap as Coca Cola if not for laws that prioritize profits over lives.
A lot of the times a company that seems to be a first mover is actually part of the Nth wave of a particular tech. Facebook wasn't the first social network but it might seem like it if you define the market narrowly enough. Google didn't do web search first, either. Sometimes it takes decades and centuries for tech to mature because people and societies move slowly.
But apparently they (Nethanyahu and co) do not have problems with supporting dictatorships where it suits them, nor of subverting their own democracy. That is the point I'm making.
incredible yeah.. but Bezos went to space.. take that China.

PS. Do I sense some missalocation of resources in the western world ?
The US has world-class train service for freight. The lower population density of the US than Europe and East Asia makes planes a better investment in the US. Less rail to lay per person server makes a big difference.

Some of the smartest people I knew in university were physics majors, and they can (and have gone on to) work in any industry they want. I'm sure it's part of the perspective, but I also just think that the kind of person who can get a pure physics degree is the kind of person who can problem solve well.

It's a townhome, so the appreciation I got is far less than the larger single family homes in my area. Furthermore, I've ignored appreciation from my calculations above (since my property has appreciated considerably, its as if I've gained $60,000 in equity). Frankly, appreciation of assets is one of the biggest reasons to own rather than rent.

Townhomes are like apartments but no worries about bothering people below your floors (or people above you annoying you when they move chairs). They also build equity at higher rates than renting. Bonus points: I have a dedicated driveway + garage while my neighbors are sharing their parking space with each other (and often run out).

Also like, +1000 sq. feet. 3 stories of space helps a lot compared to the apartment sizes.

Look, not everywhere is the crappy San Francisco housing market. There are plenty of locations in the USA where rent prices are terrible and ownership is much better financially. Any location that's constantly building new homes (pushing home ownership prices down, and therefore rent prices down) will probably have a market like mine where ownership is in fact the better financial decision.
So, unsurprisngly, it appears that applying a transformer to multiple sequence alignments extracts somewhat more spatial information about proteins than we had been able to previously squeeze out.

> I’m genuinely asking because looking at the map, neither Hungary nor Poland are the first stop for a middle eastern refugee, and I have no idea where the statement of infiltrator from ISIS comes from because I haven’t heard of an uptick of terrorism in either country.

People are more reluctant to let immigrants from too foreign culture in, e.g. Poland let in > 1M of Ukrainian immigrants (they are from similar culture as Poland) during last few years. Those assimilate easily.

Also, people are afraid of the unknown. You force that on them, they will object -> vote for those that will block that. There is no way around that.

This happens more in places that are more religious and for example Poland is, if you let in people from different (also religious) culture you create a clash.

I think it would be easier for Czech, where there are few religious citizens.

As for terrorists. People watch TV -> see that ISIS is cutting heads -> EU wants to import people from exact same region into your country. Many people objected to that, even those less nationalist.

Obviously everybody (Branson/Bezos) is entitled to spend their cash in whatever way they want. But, if they are making a spectacle of it, publicise it and promote it like some big achievement, then those people should be prepared to take some criticism. And in my opinion, I see the last two launches as indeed amusement rides for billionaires and a strong argument for better taxation policies. In contrary, what Musk does with SpaceX ( and I'm not a fan of Musk as a person), can be classified as technological development as he actually sends satellites, deliveries to ISS.
