1. Funding: NSF? Hell, how about DARPA. It isn't big money. It's a few science grants of $10 million, which, let's be honest, is pocket change compared to coastal flooding.

2. Business model: government contracting. Or carbon credits, eventually.

3. How to convince people: Good question. Probably by doing it small scale and getting convincing scientific evidence. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded that Stratospheric aerosol injection "is the most-researched SRM method, with high agreement that it could limit warming to below 1.5°C." People might not believe the IPCC, but with more empirical evidence they might.

Tangible ROI: avoiding rapid climate change and enabling companies to transition out of fossil fuels. It's happening, we just need another couple decades. It isn't a shot in the dark, it is building on a scientific legacy. This isn't crazy business. It's science and engineering.

Patriotism is a dumb idea most of the time. For example, seeing people shouting their country names in sports events etc for no reason is just plain weird - it is just sporting event, why not just enjoy the sport, have a beer, have fun and go home?

We are almost at 2022 - a virus originating in one country spread across the world within months. We are dependent on each other much more than any other generation. Unless the human race acts united, huge problems like climate change aren't going away. Instead of classifying problems based on borders, we should look at all problems as human problems, not Chinese, American, Russian or whatever.
While this is cool, two critical points are (a) why no spectral analysis of K448 to determine what parts of the music are responsible for the effect and (b) IEDs are suggestive of the brain region primarily responsible for seizure onset but the jury is still out if they can be used as sole criteria.
Hope this is not reflective of this car's construction.
I'm not arguing against decreasing equity as a startup matures, though. I'm saying that equity decreases at a much faster rate (by an order of magnitude, sometimes two) than the risk. Again, the common real-world example (in SF) of founders having 50-80x versus Employee #1, in the case when there's zero code and zero product, just a napkin sketch and founders who convinced investors of a vision (which will anyway change once development starts). Or employee #8 who is an order of magnitude lower than emp #1, when the product hasn't launched yet.

It is my opinion that one reason people sign up for such low equity, is because they lack information about how equity is divided overall. Employee #1 is OK with 1% because he mistakenly believes that investors hold 40%, founders have 10%, and the option pool is the remaining 49% -- when really the option pool was 8% total until the next round of funding, and the lion's share overall sits with the founders.
> * Slow, respectful, traffic (30kph should work) -except for some big roads- shared between all vehicles (bikes included)

I understand you plan to include bikes on the roads themselves. But making a city less dense and filling it with parking spaces for automobiles makes the city hostile to all except automobiles.

> * Zero-emission vehicles

Zero tailpipe emissions. EVs still emit 1/2 as much lifetime GHG as a combustion engine personal vehicle [0]. Your plan would make your theoretical town less walkable and bikeable and force former cyclists and pedestrians to drive EVs. This results in net higher emissions since more motor vehicles would be on the road.

> Traveling out of the big city or to orthogonally to the main public transportation routes, or with small kids, or with large luggage, with a week worth of shopping bags, or when I have to get rid of garbage...

These are valid use cases but they do not justify increasing a town's emissions in the middle of a climate crisis.

> In order to get there, we will have to reduce the amount of apartments per sqkm and even more so the amount of office space and shops. This will work in two ways: It will naturally reduce traffic and free space for car parks.

This would make the city less economically productive per sq km. Compare the tax revenue from 10 parking spaces in a parking lot versus mixed use row houses & businesses in the same lot. Plus people can actually live in the latter. Is there a housing shortage in your city? There sure is one in mine. And it has tons of tax subsidized parking :)

It has been more than thirty years since a destructor surprised me. Herb was unlikely to have been programming at that time.
I was travelling by bus and we got delayed. The bus stopped 15 minutes before reaching the destination because the bus driver had to take his 30 min rest. The rules are pretty strict especially for drivers.
Lol I ran into this just the other day. I've been trying to get a personal project finished before I head out on a trip in a few days, and due to lots of bad reasons (and I want to emphasize that these reasons are bad, not the language, partially because I made the choice while intoxicated) I chose Rust. The thing itself is just supposed to spawn a few other processes, check success statuses, and write some logs. I got caught choosing between accepting strings, PathBuf, Path, and AsRef<Path> for spawning subprocesses. I had to write my own error type, with `thiserror`'s help, in lieu of a stack trace to understand why my code was failing in portions. If I had done this in Python it would have taken a third of the time. Now obviously by choosing my types, ownership semantics, and data structures more carefully than Python's stdlib+runtime results in a much lower memory overhead and less CPU used, but I find myself constantly asking myself if it was really worth it (especially since I'm frustrated with my upcoming trip deadline). I'd love a world where I didn't need to make such a stark choice; where I could get the convenience of stack traces, errors, and fast iteration, without the performance hit that a heavily dynamic language like Python gives you.

Reading Terminal Market is cool, but I'm not sure how it will be during pandemic conditions (it's usually pretty crowded).
Sometimes I wish the experts would not just talk about their desire to know more, but also considering the consequences of taking or not taking chances.

For example there wasn't enough data to support giving AZ to elderly people, which made Germany not give it to elderly people, which turned out doubly bad: AZ works in older people, but is more dangerous in younger ones (well 1 in 100.000 dead dangerous). This likely cost us something like 5.000 to 10.000 of our 90.000 deaths.

In hindsight waiting for phase 3 trials on the vaccines similarly cost so many lives around the world it seems crazy now. Could we have prevented some of the last fall wave?

Boosters seem to be in a similar position. If you have the guts (like Israel) to take a chance as a society you might save another 1 life per 2.000 to 10.000 this fall.

I said nothing about physical control. WhatsApp and other apps automatically download images that are sent to them. Scammers and those who commit fraud or phishing attempts don't have physical access to their victims electronic, yet they're able to get victims to download and run malicious code all of the time.

There's also the fact that iOS exploits are so plentiful that they're cheaper than Android exploits.

> No, that's the value of MailChimp as a company. That includes the product, the branding, the management and the customer base.

How did all these valuables come into existence? Through the employees labour. Thus the value of this labour must be equal to the value of these assets.

> The market value of anything is exactly the value that anyone is willing to pay for it

I never used the term "market value". Sorry if that is what you thought I meant, despite that I didn't use the term. And no, market value is not the only or the best way to measure value.

Wikipedia's entry is overly simplistic. It is true that many people use VO2 in this way, but many of us feel it is silly. Some people are able to get more power to their legs at a given metabolic consumption, for instance. Two athletes may run the same time because one is more efficient with a lower VO2 Max, and the other has a higher VO2 Max but is less efficient. Interestingly no elite athlete has both things maxed out, perhaps because it is impossible, they are at odds with each other.
Regional Sports Network?
That is very unfair.

VC is a long-term business, with the average time from founding to IPO ranging from 8-10 years depending on the year. If you look closer at this list, you'll see companies about to IPO (Amplitude, Relativity Space, Embark Trucks) and several multi-billion dollar exits (e.g Segment <> Twilio, Twitch <> Amazon).

Lastly, the business is all about power law, so these small exits outperform the remaining portfolio by orders of magnitude. I bet they are beyond excited with their returns.
Yeah, I've heard the theory car2go was all an attempt to advertise Smart cars, which I thought was weird... I liked the car2go service but I would never want to buy one of those cars, they drove like crap. For the purpose of getting around they were fine, but nothing more.

Are Smart cars always that crappy, or were the models used for Car2go particularly inferior? I'm not sure what the transmission was, but it wasn't a normal automatic - you could feel it go into neutral (losing power) and then engage at a higher gear.
There are "underwater gliders" that propel themselves by ascending/descending via changing their buoyancy and using fins to direct this forwards. They have low speed but are much more efficient than most subs. Would be interesting to see such a glider take on freight, though it would probably need thrusters for navigation in harbor.
I saw a different explanation. Cities are inheriently high density and make things used enmasse as much as possible and inevitably leads to more contact among others. This is unfortunately also a good way for pandemics to travel. The isolation highlighted how little they owned spacewise.

Now that is a spectrum and we are all dependent on others but they are at the high end. The low end is "compound in the middle of the wilderness which is dependent indirectly for there to be wilderness unused for them to DYI everything".

The issue will hopefully wind up rare but there is no great certainty in these matters.
Digging up the topic, I also found this new framework https://github.com/tokio-rs/axum, which already seems to be popular.

As I recall from my class work in a hydrospace vehicles course I took decades ago, submarines have the interesting property of being more efficient that surface vehicle because they leave no wake. A wake is a set of propagating waves that require energy to generate and this, naturally, is felt as drag by conventional ships.

The question of course arises, why aren’t submarines used for shipping? We were taught that the problem was buoyancy control. The weight of a ship carrying freight can vary greatly on a round trip.
People are okay with how long it takes to master computer programming (or science). If they weren’t we wouldn’t have 4 year degrees for it.

However unlike music, there are new tools being made constantly because the practice of programming feeds the same skills one needs to make tooling.

If musicians had 10,000 instruments to choose from, each with some subtle gotcha that will only make itself known once you get in deep… then maybe they’d want instruments to be easy to play too.

A good comparison is songwriting. Lots of artists like songs that are easy to play. Piano pieces that are complicated get put down for later, unless they are classical master pieces. Guitar songs that require too fast a rhythm don’t get as much play time in anyone’s jam session either.

I think you read "beaten" literally. Nobody is saying people bounce off other cars and grind railings in the rentals. It's just rentals get more abuse: no break-in, often loaded with multiple people and luggage, door slammed, left under sun, small issues are not taken care off and develop etc. Not to mention they are already the special trims with all kinds of price cutting done from the factory.
Thanks. I never got to that step because I didn't know there'd be another question.
I think is as much a claim against PEOPLE and their ability to understand problems and inability to think logically as it is any language itself.

The other flaw: the presumption that solutions can only be linear sequential - languages are written into linear sequential files which contribute "keys under the street light". And no we haven't figure out any better way. But we don't acknowledge the problem either.

I find it really saddening that we aren't ramping the spending on these questions and issues. We should spend on the order of 100-200 billion globally to research and fights the pandemic. That would be a drop in the bucket compared to the economic impact of the pandemic.

At one job I ran into this pretty badly. The team I joined had an internal app that was, basically, a bunch of forms connected to a database. It had a lot of problems -- the data models didn't actually map to what the business needed, the UI was unintuitive. My manager insisted that what we needed to do was rewrite the entire thing as a React SPA. I told him, well, we're just going to end up with the exact same problems, only now implemented in a different framework. This won't solve any of the actual problems. He insisted, though, saying that React was "modern."

Thankfully, the depth of mismanagement here was pretty exceptional in my experience. In most cases, even if I'm personally skeptical of the need for an SPA I can see a reasonable argument in favor. The cartoonish straight out admitting that the sole purpose was to be more "modern" with literally zero regard for actually serving any user needs is thankfully not something I've run across too often.
mail-tester.com is great and I use it frequently to check (and recheck) the mail servers that I run.

However, your (correct) evaluation of their weird DKIM/DMARC/MX values notwithstanding, I currently have 10/10 totally perfect score from mail-tester.com and gmail marks my email to my wife as spam.

As in, a 15 year history of my email address having multi conversations per day to her email address and some of my emails (which are responses to her emails) get marked as spam by gmail.

I think I am going to sue google.
That is the reason I haven't prescribed for Amazon Prime Video. I really hate when I can't see the next episodes cause they are locked. I sometimes prefer visiting external sources to avoid this.

rental cars get treated like absolute crap

This is the conventional wisdom, but is it actually true? Anytime I've rented a car, I've handled it like a virgin princess because I know any scuff is coming out of my hide. My own car, hell, rub it up against the concrete barrier for all I care. That is a vehicle I would not want to buy on the used market.
I see this as the root cause of the recently announced class action suit against LADWP over their implementation of tiered electricity pricing.

The tiers (kwh rates) are in hunks of the a day measured in hours.

But the reporting is only available to the consumer in the form of a monthly bill, so by the time you discover you were eating pixies in the Peak Cost hours the heat wave is over and your bill is already through the roof.

(Any local SoCal residents please feel free to pick my analysis apart, but that was my first take when I heard about the legal action.)

That's the reason CLI tools are so powerful, and the reason why json and yaml aren't able to replace them. It's also the reason why human-friendly CLI syntax like Cisco IOS is better than programatic interfaces like the default syntax in Juniper JUNOS.
This is the psychology of prison reform. You don't want to be the elected official who's responsible for one released prisoner killing someone so you lock up all the prisoners forever.

[edit] it's also the psychology of investing in infrastructure for your software project. It's impossible to count the set of things that didn't happen because of your work. It's much easier to count the set of negative things that did happen as a result of your not doing that work.
That's a really good point, but is tangentially related to the central point of the author's article. I honestly agree- there's a lot more danger in what Holmes lied about versus what these other individuals lied about. Dangerous medical devices absolutely deserve to be treated differently than other types of fraud. The author's point is certainly weakened by trying to compare dangerous medical fraud to toxic workplace culture, as they're entirely different levels of bad.

However, the author's point (which I don't necessarily agree with) is that Holmes is nominally on trial for fraud, and at least part of her crime is the same kinds of fraud that Uber and other large companies are guilty of. If we're punishing her for (at least in part) standard-issue fraud, why are we not also punishing the other CEO's of Silicon Valley companies for that kind of fraud?

The additional context you've added by distinguishing between the "lying to investors" fraud and the "dangerous medical device" fraud makes sense now, which helps me to understand your larger issue with the article. The author definitely doesn't tell the whole story with respect to what she's been accused of.

>I don't know if or why the prosecution did not consider that to be a separate crime.

Now that you've explained that they're lumped together under fraud, I get where you're coming from. Her crimes are "fraud" in name only, and could have conceivably been called something entirely different.
Some of us have kids, though. Some of us care about them and not just ourselves.
Maybe it's A/B tested? I'm getting a headline which seems more fair and less clickbaity: "FDA panel recommends Pfizer’s Covid booster doses for people 65 and older after rejecting third shots for general population"

Ahhh, from the paper linked in your NPR article - 2020 cases = 435, 2021 cases = 1143. It's an even smaller increase than I originally thought - only 163%! Also, looks like 25% were from prescriptions.
> The question here is whether Mailchimp _exploited_ its employees by not offering equity.

No. The question is whether Mailchimp's employees would have worked for Mailchimp had they had a completely free choice and good knowledge of the value of their labour (e.g. valuation of the company).
Oh, that's clever.

They have to coordinate four motors to get three degrees of freedom. Not clear what the invariant is, but it may be something like a normalized quaternion.

Mechanically, all the load is on maybe two tiny teeth at a time. This isn't going to be an industrial robot leg joint. Or, probably, even an arm joint. Too easy to strip the teeth off the sphere.
Why isn't the public allowed to make its own determination about what medical care they want to receive or reject? I would like the freedom to be able to purchase a booster shot at the market price if I so choose. That's a voluntary transaction between me and the manufacturer and I do not agree with the FDA standing in the way. Is safety really a concern? Or is this more of a political decision to reserve vaccine doses for other countries per the WHO's request?
Why such a confrontational rhetoric just for a TV show?
