I wish I were joking, but a quick search yielded the “Save Planet Earth Crypto Token” — what a no bullshit name — that’s basically tied to planting trees somehow someway. Apparently the roadmap to saving planet earth includes “Development/Release of v1 SavePlanetEarth Android/iOS App”, “Development of revolutionary v2 SavePlanetEarth Android/iOS App”, “SavePlanetEarth Merch”, etc.

It seems to me that someone's ability to generate new ideas is at least in part driven by one's ability to make links between things that are not linked or very distantly so. It is at that intersection that novel ideas emerges.

To make it more concrete here's an example of my own.

I was playing the game Zelda Breath of The Wild and was in awe of the beautiful landscapes you could visit. However, I had already finished the game and did not want to have to fire up my Wii U every time just to see them.

This is when a novel idea emerged. What if I made a Google Map's Street Viewer for Zelda Breath of The Wild.

You can see here that I subsconsiously made a link between two very distant things a video game and Google Map's street view.

You can try it out for yourself here : https://nassimsoftware.github.io/zeldabotwstreetview (Do not use it if you're using cellular data because the panoramas are quite heavy)

The idea was well recieved and gathered the attention of many gaming journals just google zelda street view to see for yourself. Before making this project I also searched if someone had done the same but no one did. I therefore thought that I had something pretty novel so worth doing.

While my idea isn't groundbreaking in terms of science it demonstrate well the characteristics of a novel idea. (The intersection of different domains that seems to most distant.)

It seems that to be able to do those links you must have breadth of knowledge instead of depth however it's still a mystery how some people are able to do this more frequently then others.

Also here's a free idea : Make the same thing I did with Zelda but for other open world games.
Group think is a hell of a drug in 2021, eh?
> We perform very complex intellectual tasks completely subconsciously all the time, without any conscious awareness that we're doing them

I think the problem with this line of reasoning is that it implies consciousness is binary. There are various levels of awareness and experience.
This. This is why there is any divisiveness.

If you ignore facts it is impossible for a best solution to arise or for any answer to be accepted so a conversation cannot move on and has no end point, this drives a "You are the problem"/"You are attacking me" feeling.
>Like they already did with Google Play Music, and Google Play Movies + TV once before

GPM didn't get shut down, it got switched over to YTM. If you want to use that as an example for what might happen to YTTV, then it'd be YTTV getting moved over to an inferior rebrand that occupies the same space. And I don't know what you're talking about with Play Movies and TV. It's still there.
There are quite a few packages you can use to build functions in C that operate with Python. Cython is probably the most popular.

Under the hood Python objects are very similar. Classes are mostly just hashmaps (obj.__dict__) and you can easily build something similar to moo in Python. In fact you’d just need some code to convert a module to a class, which is pretty trivial as they are very similar things.

Except you wouldn’t, because it’s madness. The closest you need to come to that is using metaclasses to build some kind of DSL, particularly common in ORMs.

I’ve got nothing against Perl, really, I’m against arguments that say “this language is wonderful because it can do X”, where X is something:

1. Every other language of that type has

2. Every other language does better

Yes, it’s cool you can build your own object model in a package. No, that’s not unique to Perl (Ruby does this more than Python). Yes, it’s a shame you have to.

How long do you think humans have been consuming cannabis? Arguably longer than alcohol, not that it matters anyhow. The restrictions are arbitrary, not to mention being habituated to a nightly GABA agonist (alcohol) has just as many negative implications as nightly cannabinoids. The cannabinoids just won't five you cancer on top of it
> phase is just the derivative of frequency, and the derivative is a linear operator (essentially a 6dB/oct EQ).

FM (if strong enough to create negative frequencies) and PM are equivalent when you're modulating a signal with a sine wave. As soon as you chain modulators, they're no longer mathematically equivalent or capable of producing the same sounds, since frequency-modulating a signal by a complex wave is different from phase-modulating a signal by the same complex wave (which can produce sharp corners given a bounded input with sharp corners).

I have a strong feeling this will backfire spectacularly.

To any technical or even semi-technical person, the facts of this case are laughable. The Governor thinks that he can steamroll this case through, and is betting that most will not understand the underlying technical details and give into the fear mongering "hacking" narrative.

But the thing is, as soon as this goes to court, there is a 100% chance the EFF or another organization is going to step in. Once the defense can explain the layperson exactly what happened here, the governor is going to go from "protecting the people from hackers" to "dumbass trying to cover his own ass".

The Governor and his cabinet clearly think they have this one in the bag, but I think the EFF or another org is going to step in and hand his ass to him in court.

It's more than "not open to general use" -- Apple's ID solutions are explicitly designed so that they only work for on-device authentication, and cannot be used to, as a random example that I'm sure no one will ever try to actually build, create a centralized database of biometric signatures for every individual on earth.

For the record, these are false statements. zeeg did get me, a paid employee, to step in and deal with the situation, which I did:

It's true that we do have a lot of great volunteers working on our SDKs. We value them and appreciate them, and if/when we let them down we do our best to make it right.

Sorry for letting you down as a customer. We'll keep trying to do better.
> then they display massive ads covering 50% of the screen

Stop this. I have multiple Rokus. The % of time I spend on their menu looking at the ads is like 0.0001% of my total time using Roku. In fact, I didn't even notice any ads for months until someone on Reddit complained about it.
the other major difference is the design principles: our core belief is that everyone owns quality, and so we build for the 'no code' user as well. It's a really hard bar to hit, but I think we've done a good job so far - to use reflect you need to be far more technical. 1/3 of our daily users are PMs.

The mind-blowing thing is, first, that FOSS projects use a proprietary system (for DVCS and for "good PR interface, Wiki, issues, discussions and whatnot") at all and second that they didn't bail en mass when it was acquired by MS, the traditional bogeyman of FOSS philosophy.
What's the Matter with Kansas? is a lovely example of contempt disguised as gentle inquiry, with a touch of worry over another, and it starts even with the title itself.

Once you begin looking for it, you can see it more and more. On a rather left-leaning forum, an article appeared discussing authoritarianism and how pervasive it is in society. One commenter, without a hint of irony or self-awareness, wondered if there were some way to hook into this tendency to get people to get behind gun control or get vaccinated.

this just reminds me of books like 'How To Win Friends and Manipulate' ..cough.., sorry, i mean 'Influence People'

Caroline - 2 stars // Apr 02, 2010:

"This book had a profound effect on me, however, of the negative variety. It did give me pointers on how to actually break out of my shell and "win friends" but in the long term, it did way more harm than good. Not the book per se, but my choice to follow the advice given there. The book basically tells you to be agreeable to everybody, find something to honestly like about them and compliment them on it, talk about their interests only and, practically, act like a people pleaser all the time.

It might sound like a harmless, or even attractive idea in theory, but choosing to apply it in your every day life can lead to dangerous results. Case in point: after being a smiley happy person with loads of friends for about a year, the unpleasant realization began to creep in, that by being so agreeable to everybody else, I rarely ever got my way. I also sustained friendships with people who were self-centered, so talking about their interests was all we got to do together, which drained me of my energy. The worst thing still, is that by trying to find something to like about every person, I completely disregarded their glaring faults. It didn't matter that those people did have redeeming qualities - they weren't redeeming enough! I ended up with a bunch of friends I didn't really want and, because I was so preoccupied with "winning" those friendships I missed out on the chance to form relationships with good people.

I suppose, for somebody who is a better judge of character, the principles outlined in this book - could - be of some value. But that's really just me trying to find something positive (using the "principles") in a book that I am still trying to UNlearn.

If you want to win friends, you have to do it the hard way, by being yourself and risking rejection (and daring to do some rejection of your own, as well). And if you want to influence people the only fair way to do it is through honesty. All the rest is manipulation and pretending. Do not read this book, you'll only learn how to manipulate yourself & others. Do not read it out of fear of rejection & low self-esteem, there are better ways to gain some courage in approaching people. This will harm you in the long run.

Thank you for reading this review."

I suppose parent's argument is in relation to number of units produced, not revenue. From a comment below, Toyota sold about 7-8 times as many cars as Tesla on the US market. _Almost_ an order of magnitude, I'd argue.
I had to use flixbus once when I was traveling to france and the train system was on strike (again)

I had such a shitty experience. A “direct” bus making stopover in every major city in between at rush hour, giving us completely different seats than what we booked, bus was late to arrive at pickup point, no indications about where to actually wait for the bus, late to arrive… never ever again will I take a flixbus.
Trump’s Brand New Truth App May Violate Terms of Open Source Code It’s Built On
The term Artificial Intelligence implicitly makes people design systems that don’t involve people—because if people have an information processing role, then it seems like the system isn’t artificial yet, and therefore unfinished. That’s rather unhealthy
It varies a bit depending upon where you're going and when but I agree in general. Pre-pandemic, I visited London a lot and rarely took a cab/Uber. To be honest, that's true of most cities I traveled to if there was a decent transit system. Probably mostly to and from airports but, even in that case, there's often a good transit option and I usually travel light.
Because it's a hard paywall. It's adding visibility to those without a subscription.

Before shortages, GM revenue in Q3 2019 was $35.5 billion. A bit more than $34.2 billion in Q2 2021, but very close.

Edit. You're right. By the number of cars, there's still an order of magnitude gap (see my other comment). Thank you.

Interesting framing. Democrats seem to have taken “Science” to be a new type of religion. “Trust the science”, has been a catch phrase for the last 18 months.

Science is fundamentally about skepticism, and democratic politicians/the media have commandeered its meaning to push their agenda.

Many Covid-19 policy decisions based on “science” are not actually based on sound science, and it doesn’t seem like democratic politicians have any interest in addressing this.

Here are a few examples of highly questionable policies:

Mask mandates when everyone is vaccinated, school closures, gym closures, exemptions for wearing a mask when eating indoors.

Most worryingly, it seems like academics are scared to publish data that contradicts the mainstream progressive narrative, because they may have their career canceled.
We don’t live in a binary world where our only two choices are:

1. Respond one single way to events

2. Ignore events

There are lots of ways to express concern that are less alienating.
wrong. At facebook, which is classified as h1b dependent having over 15% foreign nationals, and likely over 50% foreign nationals there is corruption. Virtually all interviews and hiring decisions are made by h1b foreign nationals. It is ludicrous to say they would fairly evaluate US citizens who do not support immigration which is supplying thezs h1bs with $300k per year jobs.
Great tutorial, I liked it and may try in the future. It would be interesting to see if this setup can also work on a small Ubuntu cluster of RPi's (low powered ARM processors).

It's funny how you assume I was suggesting that we should go backward in time. No, I'm just saying there's clearly something wrong with sanctifying our will to power in the form of corporations. Great, so we've figured out a way to move money very efficiently into the hands of a few people in a way that is self reinforcing and sucks the life out of everything. Check. Mustn't there be a way to move forward into the future and discover newer and better ways of structuring society in a way that is more interesting?

> hey seem to sell advertising all over the device I paid for.

The ads "all over the device" only appear on the menu and "screen saver" screen which represent a tiny fraction of my screen usage.

I turn on TV, I choose Netflix/YTTV/etc. and I'm off. Time spent looking at the ONE banner ad less than 1 second. It's not obtrusive, it's not "all over the device".
Adding onto this: we've begun an internal investigation.
I have strong opinions on this topic but I 100% agree.
Sure there are some details to iron out lol.

But the point is that using a long-term approach - you will be able to pay people orders of magnitude more than if you take the short-term approach.

Long-term becomes the short-term in the future ;). If some businesses had started such an initiative in the past, people would be getting paid in the present - consistently.
I guess that's what you get with a single employer situation; hospital can act in a cartel-like fashion and decide not to hire.
I think you have it backwards. If you can nail the CS interview, you can be one of Google's 80,000 cogs making 400K/year. Or if you can settle for 150K, you can work for a 20 person startup where you actually have input and are valued as more than just another ad enabler.

No expert here but I believe it depends on how it decomposes. If wood rots at the surface, my understanding is more carbon is released into the atmosphere but if it is buried or decomposed using fungi or soil microbes, more carbon is captured into the soil.

Forests have a lot of decaying and decomposing deadfall wood but still seem to be a carbon sink so it may be a layering thing...
Tesla: 235,000 units

Camry: 294,348 units

Corolla: 237,179 units

OP claims they've seen more Teslas than Camries and Corollas. English tends to be imprecise when 'and' can mean 'or' or 'combined', I'm pretty sure we can assume 'or' here.

It's perfectly reasonable for some markets to have more of a similar volume of vehicle either purchased or seen out on the street. Not all vehicles are driven the same amount or at the same time of day. If moms are using Corollas to pick up their kids at 3:30, I probably won't see those. If tech workers are driving them home at 6, I'll probably see more of those.

I don't really understand your argument. All laws are set in stone and unalterable, except by the legislature of course. A proposal to change the requirements for an elected office would require the same process as any other legislative change.

I think it's because friendship-level connections are a lot easier to make when you are in uncomfortably close physical proximity with each other and/or when you need to rely on others and they need to rely on you.

In upper middle class society, more and more people live alone and have access to everything they need without needing to rely on neighbors.

Having 24/7 access to the Internet and communication tools gives the sensation that you have all the necessary tools at your disposal, but in reality those tools do nothing and you're just sitting at home by yourself, ignoring the people who are physically around you.

I like this answer a lot, particularly the point about hobbies... options are power, OP, if you're feeling burnt out try to frame this much broader than just needing time off. Things that can be part of feeling better are: self care, fixing your sleep, eating well, drinking water, thinking about the substances you use, different habits, change of place, time with people you love, going to your doctor for a check up, maybe considering therapy. If it feels cringe it may be particularly worth investigating. For the longest time I thought being really disciplined about sleep was just a meme for uncool people but no, it's the best

Steel is incredibly energy intensive. It's not unusual for casting plants to have their own dedicated power stations. Traditionally you'd use coke to melt things (well, smelt iron ore), nowadays with induction/arc furnaces you can in theory use green energy, but it's still a huge amount of power.
