Generating rocket fuels with renewables will only be carbon neutral when we have an excess of renewable energy. Until then, either the solar panels would be better used to replace fossil fuel generation on the grid, or the synthesised methane would be better used to replace a more necessary use of fossil methane.

It's hard to argue that a method of transport so incredibly energy inefficient will be a good thing until we're swimming in so much excess energy that we've got nothing better to do with it. Even with the massive improvements in renewables over the last few decades, we're a long, long way from that point.
Anecdotes, but I've dabbled a bit with psychedelic drugs, and I'm fairly conservative. The only one I personally know (and who's done much more than me) is much further right than me.

I don't think it's just selection bias. I know more people on the left than on the right, but none of the liberals/progressives I know do anything beyond smoking weed (and even those get fewer and fewer, but I attribute that to age).

I'm not a space expert at all but my wild guess is that doing small, careful tests for consumer grade hardware (and software) to be used on Mars is a way to lower costs of a possible future settlement, by leveraging economies of scale here on Earth.
While this is technically interesting, I can't help but ask what the benefit of this is? Instead of using a library that's battle-tested and well documented you'll now have to maintain an ad hoc replacement with unknown unknowns. Cutting down your bundle size is a good goal, but this feels like much too steep of a tradeoff.

I'm not trying to convince you, but I thought I'd just add my thoughts as an actual i3 user to some of your statements to provide a more balanced view to the audience.

> it can feel quite overwhelming as you need to visualize the tree in your head

I find it strange that the author finds it overwhelming here. You don't need to visualise the tree in your head - it's literally there in front of you, visually, with clear UX cues and four very simple keyboard shortcuts. and that's if you even want to bother with the tree anyway - I need to nest windows perhaps once a month.

> I mean if it takes 3000 lines of code to make your friggin window manager work then you're doing it wrong.

This is exaggeration. 5 years down the line, my i3 config is 280 lines, perhaps 70% of which are default. Additionally, it is not your place to tell others they're doing something wrong. Perhaps spending n hours writing 3000 lines of i3 code actually saved someone 10n time over 1 year. How would you know?

> I happen to like overlapping windows

You can achieve this with i3 floating windows. I use them sometimes, works very well.
Do you know if the VMs have accelerated graphics? The new version of Hypervisor.framework in 12.x supports accelerated macOS guests but I didn't know if they figured out a way to do it without Apple's tricks.

Unless you actually have evidence this is the case (other than your own personal bias), this is a completely unhelpful comment. Presumably the study's methodology is documented somewhere, it just may not be published yet.

Alright then, what more do you want them to do? Spend millions in court fighting every warrant issued for their users and go bankrupt defending criminal activity?
Maybe not to lose weight, but as far as I know the primary goal of most people who take protein supplements is to gain muscle. From my understanding this is literally impossible if you don't consume enough protein. So the question of how much should you be consuming based really depends on your training level, goals, diet, etc.

> A 2014 analysis of 36 papers found that protein supplements have no impact on lean mass and muscle strength during the first few weeks of resistance training in untrained individuals.

Seems like any difference you would see with a couple few weeks of training would be a rounding error? In my experience, any noticeable differences in muscle mass require months of training.
But are all people on a cruise ship sailors?
To say a word about the physics: The fundamental force at play is the electromagnetic force. If you run a current in a coil in the magnetic field, it will rotate so that the coil’s field comes into alignment with the outer field.

Once it’s there it is happy to stay. You’ve got to change something to get the motor running continuously. AC is quite clever about it because it just changes the field electrically and this is much more reliable than changing it with moving parts.
Or if you want to share folders from Windows into Linux containers (you can do it via /mnt/c/ but it's a little more complicated).

My main thought since they first announced this trip was, what are they going to do for 3 entire days? That's a lot of time for people who haven't been trained up the way astronauts have to potentially experience some extreme mental states.

Being stuck in a tiny, tiny space with strangers and absolutely no way out seems like it could potentially cause issues even for people who have been psychologically screened. Hopefully these "experiments" they're supposed to be running will help keep them occupied & distracted.

It doesn't have to do with poor research methodologies specifically in the field of nutritional science, since they do not differ from other fields.

This is how a GAN works. There is a generator and a discriminator. The generator tries to fool the discriminator, and the discriminator tries to detect images generated by the generator. As one gets better, so does the other, until progress converges.
I have tried different diets. Nutrient dense carbohydrates, healthy fats and high protein works the best for me.

According to some studies I should be fat or my muscles would grow as if I Was eating half the protein which is not the case.

I feel like putting some more intelligent power circuitry around a repurposed automotive alternator could yield efficiency gains. Since they all run in the same narrow specification range, you might be able to make some universal system. With a smart enough computer you can directly manage the tricky bits in software. Some minor modifications might be required (e.g. remove existing diodes so we can use active rectification).

That's just too much mystery in the C-Suite for my tastes.
That doesn't take into account the roughly 50% churn rate per decade in the S&P 500. The companies that were in the S&P 500 in 2013 did not all benefit from and average 15% stock price increase, not even close.

The point was that, according to the research, publicly listed companies following the shareholder value strategy did not perform significantly better than those which didn't. The historical performance of the index as a whole will vary significantly depending on when you do the analysis, but comparing the relative performance of companies over a sufficiently long enough period is reasonable regardless of when you do it.
this does seem odd, i agree.
How is it not abusive regardless? Doing something "stupid" is not a crime.
They failed to do this with porn sites and now they want to do it with every site in existence? Preposterous.

Incompetence is common in the public sector and it's really the only thing stopping this sort of thing from happening. Political support for this is mostly unanimous among the local parties and the larger European sphere.

Every party will complain for votes and then proceed to re-implement it with a different blame figure.
What's interesting about this example in particular is when the theory building occurs: before or after.

Nobody is surprised, then subsequently asks no questions. The questions simply come after.

And so I imagine the sequence of when you want the viewer to ask their questions can be used as a literary device (famously, in media res).
The take-away should be that we should mask up and try to isolate independent of vaccination status. Sadly, lots of vaccinated people think the ride is over for them and behave accordingly, in addition to the ones who never cared in the first place. We may see the fruits of that in winter, when the freshly normalized carelessness might lead to a larger increase in infections.

If they record audio in a two party consent state they are in big trouble. If they film video without the knowledge of the device holder and it captures someone in a state of undress, especially children they are in big trouble.

The company isn't a party to the recording, the device holder, meaning the employee, is unaware of the recording, and none of the other people in the room are. Most of the US requires at least one party consent.

There is another possibility: Governments lift their hostile immigration policies, and grant refugees a place in their society. Sure there will be tension, but a major upheaval and wars can absolutely be avoided if governments act humanely.
> Even as Palantir earned $345.5 million in federal contracts in 2019, the company did not turn a profit; in fact, it hasn’t been profitable in its 17 years of existence.

How much does Palantir pay in taxes, realistically? Which taxes?

The big-business world seems to revolve more around subsidies than taxation, bizarrely.

Which makes me wonder, why would Colorado be so eager to have them?

It is abusive. It is also either indicated of a crime (fishy), or incredibly stupid.

None of these things are mutually exclusive.
The premise that they should is bizarre, especially since people report quasi-religious experiences on some psychedelics. If there were a link between these experiences and passivity, an external locus of control, and even nihilism, I think that would be more plausible. Even though the experiences can also create an individual sense of purpose and belief that would frustrate broader totalitarian aims as well. Psychedlics aren't on a team.

I've become sympathetic to stories of how frantically the CIA seemed to pursue the psychedelic/mind-control link, as they were in a war for their civilization against an evil that by the mid-70's, had used mass psychological techniques to subvert and derail more nations and kill more people around the world than the third reich and fascism had managed combined, just by infecting the social fabrics of families, religions, and their nations. Psychedelics would have represented the possibility of a literal "Red" pill that had the effect of demoralizing people and causing them to interpret the world through the lens of secular materialism, victimhood, mass hysteria, and ultimately permanent struggle for its own sake. The risk of that being accelerated with chemistry would have been an emergency level threat.

The radical life transformations people reported after using psychedelics at the time when they were rare and new would have been viewed as a way to mentally destablize target populations, unmoor them from the tangible and real experiences of their culture, and subvert and subordinate them to into the alien ideology.

This cold-war era thinking and propaganda may be the source of the belief that psychedlics lead inevitably to political liberalism. Further, official anti-drug efforts were promptly co-opted by the soviets as perfect straw men of manufactured reactionaries (like trolls keeping targets engaged and in a cycle of outrage), to reinforce the popular narrative of a false consciousness, and further destabilize the western order.

That psychedlics make one politically liberal is a stupid belief, but one whose origins have a plausible link to events in recent history.
I learned that any 'health' bars with 12+ grams of carbs are just candy. Yet all except one was over that limit. The exception was 5g yet had sugar alcohol (artifical sweetener?) putting the real number at 20g.

So maybe those bars are intended as whole meal replacement? If so it's not clear on the labels.
You don't need nearly as much nutritional advice as we publish. But hey, clicks.
The reason is sneak circuits - a circuit unexpected in the design, perhaps from degradation of the hardware. Sneak circuits can and do put line voltage on the DC output of bad chargers. There is an EC standard 60601 for medical equipment and there are power supplies that conform to it. They have to be well protected from sneak circuits and they are expensive. Realizing both inexpensive and safe is best done by not allowing the device to run when it is connected to line voltage.

Both words in "shareholder value" are deeply problematic.

Who is the "shareholder"? The working person toiling away today and hopping to strike a contract with society (via insurance/pension investments) to have some support and protection during old age? Or the army of intermediaries helpfully "managing" his/her contract till there is nothing of it left?

And what is "value", or rather "who's values"? Is that the same person as above? What does the average person thing of superior financial returns that are at explicitly at the expense of environment and society?

Friedman, of "the business of business is profit" fame, is throwing a party at his grave:

"Goddam Nobel-granting suckers: I never told them that this construct will never work if their society is run as if morally bankrupt and, of course, they would never admit it being so themselves."
This was always my take. If shareholders are only focused on the short term then the company should as well. If shareholders are focused on long term but company on short term then the shareholders should be pissed.

I mean it’s not like there is a right way and wrong way to run a company. The people that fund the venture should have a say it how it’s run?
You need to prove who you are to take part. No verification means no internet to you. It's a barrier to entry to get in the system in the first place. Immigrants won't be able to use the internet for months upon first arrival in the UK. Your identity is stolen so you can't report it because you're locked out of the system. How do you prove you are 'you'? I don't believe you are you.

Lack of anonymity breeds fear and intimidation if you step out of line. It causes self-censorship for fear of reprisals if you don't adhere to acceptable policy.

You see such intimidation and self-censoring from the people of Communist China who don't speak up due to actors overseas who will intimidate them.

This whole thing is the death of the UK internet access freedoms.
They are probably quantifying it using """independent""" fact checkers.
Well, I can’t speak for Colorado but I think in Ohio we’d be eager to add a company like this instead of more warehouses and data centers. If nothing else the employees are paid and then they pay income taxes. Moves like this also great jobs, buzz, makes your city seem like a better place, etc.

> The goal for the revamped funding system, which also includes a higher gas tax rate and lower baseline vehicle registration fees, is to make sure drivers contribute their fair share to the costs of maintaining the roads they use

The "fair share" most small cars - especially fuel efficiency focused designs that remove as much mass as possible - should be paying approximately $0. Road damage per-axel is proportional to the weight carried by the axel raised to the fourth power! A fully loaded 5 axel tractor trailer does thousands of times more damage than one of the small electric cars they are worried about taxing.

The "fair" solution where maintenance costs are paid in proportion to the actual sources of damage would be to ignore most carts entirely and raising the registration fees on the vehicle actually damaging the roads the heavy trucks. As vehicle weight grows, their responsibility for maintenance costs exponentially.

Since macronutrients are interchangeable to some degree, they could have written an article called "We don’t need nearly as much fat as we consume" or "We don’t need nearly as much carbs as we consume" as well.
>If they have a small mom and pop company that cannot pay workers at least $50,000, then they need to go out of business.

wow, this site really does skew toward coastal cities in the US doesn't it? $50k a year is a high end white collar salary enough to buy a (often significantly) better than median home on a single salary and enough to be considered in the upper 25% income for most of the places I have lived.

I think one of the biggest problems in politics in the US is that we have such a diversity of experience and needs in this country and most politicians (and perhaps voters) think that the solutions that are best for their local area are actually good for the whole country - when in most cases the experience across millions of people and thousands of miles from rural to dense urban is so different that almost no nation wide solution is very good.
If the ideology leads to actions that harm its own goals, that's because you are acting based on a wrong theory. You can try to proxy it over the goals of another ideology, and since your first theory was wrong, it may get you better results, but changing your ideology to improve its goals isn't a thing. But anyway, improving your theory normally leads to better results on practice.

Notice that I'm not saying it's a good ideology. Personally, I highly disagree with it, but the article is misrepresenting the problem it talks about.
The thing I've found is that Jira has so many fields on its tickets that beg to be filled in, that PMs start filling them in, and before you know it they're all mandatory and must be filled in. And organising that much state in the tickets becomes a full-time job, and so the PM ends up doing that - managing the state of Jira rather than managing the state of the project. The two become synonymous when they're not. When they inevitably diverge all the usual problems of project management get exacerbated horribly (in part because what should happen is all the state in Jira gets thrown away as it doesn't reflect reality, but that's a huge sunk cost so no-one does it).

So yeah, I have found that the tool shapes the process, not the other way around.

It would probably work the other way around if every organisation built their own project management tooling around their own processes. But that would be insane.
