The way this clicked for me (it took some thought!) was to see it as a lever, or at least an analogue to one.

Imagine a lever with the fulcrum on one end, attached to the ground. Wind pushes on the middle, and the car is at the other end of the lever. So wind exerts more force with less speed, and the car moves forward with more speed but less force.

That's basically what the linkage and gear ratio between the wheels and propeller do; it's the counterintuitive power flow that makes it so confusing...
Perhaps a new forest, but plants in general (current conditions may favor grassland, or something else). It's "re" because there was an ecosystem there before, and now it's returning. Contrast with, say, a brand new island that is the result of volcanic action. Then it'd be just plain old colonization by way of wind-blown seeds, or seeds that survived a bird's digestive tract.
> If everyone on the planet consumed at the rate of the top 1% we'd need 10s of earths.

But that's exactly the point. Although it's a bit more than the top 1%, more like top 10-15%.

What do you think eradicating poverty and global development means? Exactly that: A developed world means a world consuming the same as, say, Europeans do.

This only works if population is reduced, even drastically reduced because, quite obviously, it does not work with 8+ billion people.

> Who should decrease the population? Western white people?

Who should remain dirt poor? Brown people?

This is ridiculous.

This is a global issue. Poverty should be eradicated globally, the global population should reduce. Do not make it a racial, if not racist, issue.
I have chronic back pain due to a disease which went undiagnosed for most of my life.

I understand that this comment is made in good faith and with the best of intents, but I loathe getting this kind of advice. I'm not trying to be a dick, I just want to let you know that this advice is extremely frustrating for a lot of people suffering from back pain. ESPECIALLY "you look young and healthy"...Yea thanks, I'll probably still look young when I'm in a wheelchair.

PS If your back hurts and your doctor doesn't seem to believe you or care, get a new doctor.
False dichotomy, how long will it take the predators to learn not to use apple devices as cameras?

Yet the privacy implications will last forever. Once it's implemented, it only takes a rubber-stamp warrant to compel Apple to scan your device for anything the government deems concerning. In fact, no warrant needed in most countries.
It seems like a good hydrogen chain could look like: solar panels floating in the ocean split the water and store it, a tanker picks it up and takes it to port. Burn hydrogen at a power plant for the grid, condense the vapor and use it for drinking or farming.

It seems like a great fit for...a lot of use cases. (if we can get over some of the storage hurdles)
Hope it isn't just a pr stunt and they adress the criticism that has accrued since the copilot beta launch.

Well, purchase a Pixel 5, install CalyxOS or Graphene, lock bootloader again. Job done. Probably you'll lose some convenience, but you know, you may always ask some FOSS dev to bake a feature for you and pay for it.
Champlain Towers South was only 12 storeys so not particularly tall. Local geology matters a lot. The Millennium Tower sits on unstable land and the foundation didn't go deep enough into the bedrock. Overall though skyscrapers have been remarkably safe and stable; construction will continue most everywhere that has high land prices.
The feature is because it’s illegal for Apple to host/have/posses CSAM (in iCloud).

But Apple doesn’t want to know what they host for you on iCloud.

So they need to be sure that before something is uploaded to iCloud, it’s not CSAM.

So if you don’t intend to upload to iCloud (i.e. you disable iCloud on your phone), then Apple doesn’t care anymore if you have CSAM or not.
> Apple is very likely trying to get ahead of what's likely to be requests from the government that they won't be able to just not abide by

No. Don't make that excuses for them. If it were true it would be a shocking revelation which might result in thousands of cases being overturned.

If the NCMEC searches by providers are being done as a result of government coercion then the fourth amendment requires there be a search warrant. Since there isn't one, these searches would all be unlawful if there was coercion.

Thus far, tech companies like Google and AOL have gone out of their way to testify that there is no coercion (I haven't found a case involving Apple).

If there were coercion it would be a shocking conspiracy. I wouldn't argue that it's impossible: The USG has done some shockingly unethical and illegal things in the past but it fails occams razor.

Moreover, the excuse doesn't actually make apple look better: Instead of being a corporation compromising user privacy and security for commercial gain, they'd be an active participant in a conspiracy to violate the US constitution.

Apple is doing this because they believe they'll make more money this way, and because they believe the complaints raised here about people rejecting devices betraying their trust are fundamentally inconsequential.

Show them otherwise, don't make excuses. Don't blame the government. The government may well be to blame too, but Apple's actions are apple's fault.
And if you turn a sail sideways and put it on a spindle with several other sails, you have what looks a whole lot like a propeller.

So instead of sailing sideways so that your air foil sail can move sideways through the wind, the Blackbird harnesses the power of sales moving sideways through the wind while pushing the craft directly into the wind.
Why is that wrong? I also applauded (internally) when notifications were added because it was a feature that I wanted and I didn't care that Android had it before because I wasn't using an Android phone. I bought all of the Google-branded Android phones when they came out and I still preferred iOS and the iPhone so having that feature was worthy of applause for me. I don't see how the wallpaper thing is any different. As much as I would like to have had the ability to change wallpaper before then, that wasn't as important as all the other things I cared about more.
Let me guess, because they had LOTS of sheep, which they had because they had LOTS of grass, which they had because they had LOTS of rain. And they were known for mass producing wool and exporting it to Europe.

Ok, now I've skimmed the article. The elderly and toothless. That must be why medlars were so popular. Once the fruit is bletted, it gains the consistency of a baked apple.
Sounds like a great way to attack a target and destroy their life. Most people have no idea how many or what photos are on their devices.

1) Either get photos on their phone with the correct HASH, or get some photos that are already on their phone into the HASH list.
2) FBI will be quietly informed by Apple.
3) FBI shows up one day at the targets home or work. They confiscates all electronic devices and ruins that persons life.
Maybe check out the energy innovation act-I think it's a pretty good counterexample to what you're describing. https://energyinnovationact.org/section-by-section-analysis/

All the money has to go to the dividend, minus the admin costs which should be very small. The bill does include exemptions for the military and agriculture, so it's not perfect, but it is necessary to make some concessions to make it politically viable. I'd rather have this bill now than one without those exemptions in 15 years or whatever.

I've never applied for YC funding, or any kind of seed funding, I don't know much about the world of startups but

>YC evaluators are explicitly biased. There is such a thing as unconscious bias. We know and understand this in the racial domain.

Yes they are, everyone is, it's the way of it.

Yes they know who they want to give their money to. In the end like anyone else, whether it's a job interview or applying for grants, which I have done, or applying for seed funding, who you are compared to the values of the people you are applying to matters.

You can be 110% qualified and not 'fit the culture' and be rejected. It's just the way of life and something everyone really should just accept because it will never change.

You can and will be rejected from things in life because of things you cannot change and sometimes you will have no idea why and you will never get an explanation. Or, if you're lucky, you will get an explanation that essentially amounts to 'I dunno I just don't like the cut of your jibe.' That's life for ya though.
They generally give feedback on your application. There is likely something with your traction or potential market more than your age. I do agree with you there are some elements that make it harder as you get older.

That said:

The average age of startup founders is older than the press makes it seem.

I talk to people in each new batch of Y Combinator. The general consensus is that the average age of the founders seems like it is increasing as they fund harder and harder tech projects.

I coincidentally recommended a 58 year old founder about 18 months ago and they were interviewed.

That has not been my experience at all.
We need to drastically scale up battery production to make this happen on a quick enough time scale. Solar panel production is scaling at roughly the appropriate speed, but for cars we will need some people to lessen their driving needs if we want to keep pace with climate goals that are compatible with 1.5C of warming.

Which leads to my second point. I'm not convinced that as many people want the suburban lifestyle as are forced into it. My preference would be to have a non-suburban lifestyle, but it has been banned in most of the US. Our entire legal, tax, and governmental infrastructure is set up to prioritize and prefer suburbia, and it's been that way since WW2. My evidence that more people want alternatives to suburban lifestyles is that suburbia has to legislate its existence. Single family home owners fight super hard against allowing row houses or apartments, and that's the main impediment to their creation, not market forces.

My favorite one was when a superior was explaining a plan to right-size some new machines as we slowly migrated customers onto the appliance, and some particularly aggravating issues we were having with memory consumption that upon inspection and a lot of time spent-made no real sense to us why it was occurring the way it was.

My old man (a former Dill Instructor, made for an interesting childhood) found it utterly hilarious when I'd call him up randomly with the latest phrase of the day, uttered by some director or another. To my knowledge, and I sure-damn asked, the only affinity anyone on the executive team had with the military was two of them having buddies who served.
We'll have to agree to disagree. There is fin de siecle, a different literary genre, of which The Time Machine is part, that has similarities to the Dying Earth genre. Each is marked by apathy in the face of existential doom. The Dying Earth is a specific genre with its own tropes: wizards living in manses, dangerous creatures wander at night, many of which can talk, the earth has lived through several Ages, much knowledge has been lost. These are as much tropes of the subgenre as cyclopean ruins and ichor are tropes of Lovecraftian horror.

The wikipedia article on the subgenre is terrible, conflating fin de siecle with Dying Earth. Awful on many levels

Arguing the Vance did not actually create the Dying Earth genre because of fin de siecle is like arguing Lovecraft did not invent Lovecraftian horror because some previous authors wrote about terrifying gods.
Trust in this discussion isn't a binary 1/0. You do trust Apple in some regards, else it'd be impossible to use their devices for anything. There's a tradeoff being made, that Apple does not do 'certain evil things'. This one's crossing the boundary for some, opening the floodgate for others. That's the issue at hand.

For example, say US government. I trust the US government not to kill me (Dutch citizen, not a terrorist, not a criminal, etc etc). Does that mean I trust the US government with my personal data? No, that's a different discussion. And if I were to trust them with my personal data, does that mean I believe the US government has integrity? No. I've been very disappointed with the US government with regards to a recent war (I'll refrain from details as its irrelevant), so they need to earn back credibility. In my language there's a saying 'vertrouwen komt te voet, maar vertrekt per paard' which translates to something akin to 'trust comes on foot and goes on horseback'.

What do we mean by "lately?" The humble old internal combustion engine has made some really impressive progress in the past several decades.

Engines are roughly 2X better now in the categories that matter: power output, fuel efficiency, and expected lifetime. Some of the fuel efficiency gains have of course been canceled out by increased overall vehicle weight, so it's easy to overlook how much more efficient the engines themselves are.

In 1986, a Ford Mustang GT had a 5.0L V8 that produced 200HP.

In 2021, a Ford Mustang GT has a 5.0L V8 that produces 460HP.

A 2021 base model Ford Mustang has an engine that produces 310HP from only 2.3L of displacement.

(Not that Ford is special in this regard; I just picked the Mustang because they've produced a 5.0L V8 for most of the brand's lifetime and it's fun to compare a 1986 5.0L engine versus a 2021 5.0L engine...)

> It’s truly disappointing that Apple got so hung up on its particular vision of privacy that it ended up betraying the fulcrum of user control: being able to trust that your device is truly yours.

Disappointing, sure, but not surprising.

Since the introduction of the iPhone, Apple has made it clear that one of their core beliefs is that they alone know better than their users. They have repeatedly demonstrated that they are happy to remove user control wherever possible. Their decision here fits that pattern perfectly.

"Only you can prevent forest fires" lays the wrong mindset that humans are the only causes of forest fires. I grew up with that mindset, took some education to realize that nature (lightning) creates fires as well, and that fires have occurred throughout history for the benefit of the ecosystem.
I don't necessarily disagree with the "getting ahead of it" thing, and I do see the benefits of this strategy wrt. keeping data private in the face of escalating govt overreach, but I'm simply not comfortable with the surveillance happening on my

I don't see it as good from a technological point of view, but I think it's good from a political point of view.

Nothing is going to happen on climate change until nations are willing to go to war over it. I see this plan as something like the "Rainbow Warrior" reversed; responsible people should want to stop it, but how can responsible people stop it if they won't take responsibility for the root problem?

It's a provocation that might break the impasse and lead to better actions like reopening the canyons at Savannah River to reprocess commercial nuclear waste and developing fast breeder reactors coupled to Brayton cycle turbines.

> we will usually just sell recently bought shares that haven't accumulated any capital gains

There may be an opportunity here for some sort of pattern recognition to keep cash equal to expected inflow/outflow.

Eg. "80% of the days, they make a $10 lunch purchase, and get paid weekly", so keep $40 a week in cash to avoid cash <-> asset conversions at all.
Yes. https://blog.1password.com/totp-for-1password-users/

It isn’t a degradation of security, in my opinion, it’s an upgrade, when certain accounts are involved.

For these shared accounts, such as those used by my family, and on services which don’t support account-per-person in an “organization” or “household” sense, this still provides for TOTP in a way my spouse and I can both login. Ensuring just the loss of the password isn’t enough to compromise the account is an upgrade vs. not having TOTP enabled.

Where we can both have our own accounts and use U2F tokens that’s a better story, clearly, but 1Password having this functionality is great!
I disagree.

Your statement is true only because in the present day socialist governments control most of the desirable space.

The Vikings in the middle age moved to Iceland exactly to avoid kings and lords (not that far from our democracy) and they built a decentralised society which lasted 300 years.

They had private courts and private law enforcement. Strategic decisions were happening at the local level with local leaders.

I believe a decentralised society is possible - but there is just no interest in doing so and dismantling the status quo.

First, you need money to get elected in a position where you can do that. Your sponsors will likely want something in return. If you throw away all the power after getting it and create a decentralised society, you won't be able to return any favour or reap any benefit.

You may just as well become the next corrupted leader and get rich from the politics scam.
Yeah, the tone of this article is really odd, and like, the bulk of the content is just a narrativization of the incident roles in the Google SRE book. The only 'trick' is running game days?
I might be too cynical but what's most likely to happen is that corporations will find a way to avoid paying the tax and it will hurt people who struggle the most already.

For example, in EU car manufacturers have to keep average CO2 emissions of new car sales below 95 g/km. VW buys a large amount (I believe it was around 37%) of their ID.3 electric car to reduce the average emissions of their newly sold cars.

So what you suggest is we take money from poor people and burn it. I fail to see how that will help.
Where does evidence of tribes starting burns for plant management come from? All I've ever heard of is fires used in hunting and buffalo runs/ jumps. Anything beyond that implies a level of sophistication in planning and environmental knowledge that seems far fetched at best.
