Duck and cover was pointless fearmongering and safety theater.

We are on the brink from numerous existential threats including, but not limited to: climate change (i.e., more extreme weather damage and deaths, desertification, regional famines, resource wars, and billions/hundreds of millions of CC refugees), asteroids, GRBs, pandemics (viral, bacteriological, and mycotic), epidemics of diabetes, CHD, and cancer, nuclear terrorism, US vs. China over Taiwan, NATO vs. Russia, mega-tsunami.
A quick Google search for [child killed because mistaken for thief] brings up this 2017 case in Alabama: https://www.wjhl.com/news/family-22-year-old-mistaken-as-thi...

In this case the killer was indicted and pleaded guilty to manslaughter: https://www.cullmantribune.com/2019/10/24/cullman-county-fat...

Because it's obviously not legal to murder your own son even if you think they're a thief.

One explanation for ultrasound/microwave is that it's for powering a recording device. If it's solved secret, I would expect them to locate and remove/disable the devices. Then at that point the signals should stop shortly after because there is no point in powering devices that are no longer working.
I think their value went too high... But I think of them as an energy company. They sell the cars and the "gas stations" and the "oil wells" and all the retail spots.

They also do that without spend on advertising. Honestly, that's pretty impressive. Is it worth more than all other auto companies combined?

The 2007-2015 time period was brutal for photo-based sites. I lost a good chunk of change running one. Pinterest, Instagram, and Snapchat were the survivors, I know that many didn't. Somehow Flickr lumbered through.

In that time frame it seemed to me that video was producing a lot more value per unit of resources used than photos were. Those expiring photos are a big plus because you don't have to pay to store them.

I don't know where things are going today, but personally I've been burned.
After sitting through hundreds of pre-flight briefings on planes, that explain how to exit in an emergency (and given some briefings myself), I'm surprised that Tesla does a sloppy job of showing people how to open the doors of their car, when it is on fire.

Spoiler alert: the normal door handles don't open the doors.

Plot twist: the back doors have a completely different (and concealed) opening mechanism than the front doors.

Surprise ending: you have to teach the backseat people how to unlatch their doors, after you just trial-and-errored your way out the front door(s).
If they're "rednecks", they almost certainly have. Dirtbikes if nothing else.

Interesting, I didn't know that Type 1 diabetes involved impaired glucagon regulation as well - the beta cells only really produce insulin and amylin, but from reading the wiki briefly there are knock-on effects in other areas. Cool stuff, hopefully the technology continues to improve and produce something resembling a true artificial pancreas soon, or maybe beta cell regeneration therapies.

I wonder if, just like there are portable FM transmitters that you can plug your iPod to and tune the car radio to, if there'll be portable 3G "base stations" that your car can connect to, and on the other side the base station would have a 4G/whatever antenna to talk to the infrastructure.
> When the grid goes down and stays that way, when the coastal cities are flooded and the flyover towns all Lyttonised, when we’ve exhausted the world’s arable land (about thirty years from now, last I heard) and civilization itself begins to collapse (twenty); we’ll be out there with our Molotov cocktails and our boards-with-the-nails-through-‘em. It’s how societies collapse.

It's not how societies collapse though. Collapse takes a long time and it's a slow process. We might already be in it in much of the developed world. Working age population sizes are already beginning to come down and I don't know of a historical example of a society that continued to grow while working age population shrunk.

I guess the anger that a lot of people have around climate change is normal, but what do you expect to happen? You can't keep fitting more and more people on a planet the size of Earth and expect to increase energy consumption forever. Even with the most optimistic forecasts about energy storage a world that reduces CO2 emissions to minimize global warming is a world where people are using a lot less energy. That means less vacations, less stuff, less high end services.

Coyotes have become much more brazen in the last 40 years, as the suburbs have expanded so much, creating lucrative hunting grounds for them. Same with trash pandas. Some biologists actually think that wolves would help keep coyotes in check, but the odds of their populations reaching a size where they could have an effect is slim.

No one in this thread that I've seen is using the language of hunting. No one is saying "boy I wish some fools would come try some shit so I can bag a couple of heads". Do those people exist in the world? Sure, of course there are. There's a few people of every view point given 7 billion of us.

Here people are saying, "Well I can't just let them have this valuable part of my car (that I might not be able to afford to replace). And I'm pretty sure the police aren't going to help me. And I don't think they will stop if I ask them. So I guess I have to shoot"

If you've already judged those people in your head as "hunters", then you're the one who's lost, not them.

> not because we are humans and therefore more valuable to each other

I value my children more than I value your children, but you will likely disagree with my assessment, even though it isn’t unexpected. And I would have to admit my assessment is not objective.

> Never mind the fact that we have consciousness and ego and complex nervous systems, whereas lobsters do not.

That’s how speciesism works: we try to find some kind of difference between us and other creatures, and then say, because they lack X they are not worthy of consideration. It’s okay if they suffer. This is precisely the same logic that was used to justify slavery, for example.

The other problem is that the line keeps moving, because we keep discovering how similar we are to other animals. There was a time when science claimed that animals did not have emotions, which any dog owner could tell you is nonsense.

The truth is that we do not really know exactly what a lobster experiences. Shouldn’t we therefore be cautious?

I honestly believe that at some point, the majority of humans will look at our system of factory farming and “harvesting” of wildlife in much the same way that today we view slavery, colonialism and other egregious examples of human disregard for other lives. I am not saying they are the same thing, but I do think that they are in the same category.

> The OP made a direct accusation of fraud with no real evidence to support that claim.

An option to delay shipment would not be 'exceptional', and it would not cost Amazon anything notable.
What metrics are you basing that first statement on?
Incredibly useful tactic when someone is selling you a high-ticket item. When they pause and say something like “so, are you ready to invest [they always use this term when you’re spending a lot]?” just wait a couple of beats. Amazing how often they talk themselves into dropping the price… so you go a notch further down.
What's done to pigs, chickens, and cows is a terribly low bar to clear. I suppose lighting an ant on fire with a magnifying glass isn't cruel because it happens quickly.

Personally how quickly an innocent being capable of suffering and happiness is killed doesn't factor into whether I call it cruel. Morality might be subjective, but the alternative requires accepting that needless, preventable death and suffering is ethical
You are wrong. In most EU countries self defense has to be proportional to attack, and to be used only when necessary. So if you exceeding limits of self-defense and you kill or damage someone using forces disproportionate to the danger you can go to jail.
Yeah, it was a common pattern especially in older TF repositories from before workspaces had better support.

It takes quite a bit of discipline (and balance; sometimes the effort to make it “right” is not well-spent) to not end up in a mess when your infrastructure starts to scale across regions and providers.

Our company is currently looking in to kafka and microservices. The problem we have is that the volume of actions going on has gone past what a single rails app with sql server can handle. When I look in to it, it seems like it would mostly be used as some kind of job queue where worker microservices churn through the entries in kafka to do some kind of data processing without needing sql.

But then there are blog posts saying kafka is a terrible job queue because you can only have one worker per partition and it's hard to get more partitions dynamically.

> But I feel it is a kind of bonding ritual between strangers that I don't understand.

I see it as exploratory. You're just trying to find some common ground with someone you don't know. Eventually you'll find something you both like/dislike and can bond over that a little.

You can usually skip a lot of it and just ask about/mention something that interests you and if they've ever done/seen/heard/read about anything like that. If you open up about something personal, people usually respond in kind.

For instance, I've always wanted to go hang gliding and after being cooped up during the pandemic, I took the opportunity to go when restrictions relaxed a bit. Did you anything as soon as things opened up again? The pandemic is a shared misery we can all bond over.
Without pointing to example companies, what is the definition of a "tech" company. Doubt anyone can define it without using example companies.
In sum, you seem to think that there is a difference in the commons attitude when there are no other commons; e.g., the fishing collapse happened because it wasn't their only source of food, and if it were, they would have done something different.

I'd really need to see an example where this actually happened, because your pitch in the first paragraph is utterly unconvincing.

The incentives for individual players/nations are still to use earth orbital spaces more - the more each can put up there, the more they reach their goals, and prevent competitors from reaching their goals.

Of course there is the global motivation to use it better in the long term, but this is in conflict with the individual near-term incentives - the entire point of the Tragedy Of The Commons is that everyone DOES see that it is in their interest to preserve it. Yet, before the tipping point, it is ALSO and in the short term MORE advantageous for each player to exploit it for their own advantage.

Russia just demonstrated as much last week. It is totally in their long-term interest to preserve it, and even in their immediate interest to not endanger their cosmonauts or their investment in the ISS. Yet, they went and scattered thousands of projectiles all over the space.

So, the assertion that this is somehow different needs more evidence. AFICT, everyone sees the need, yet everyone is still tossing up more satellites without a plan or agreement to fix it.

Where is the immediate (not long-term) motivation to not use it, and where is evidence that it is being fixed? It is already quite late.
Haha, about 20mins if I'm fast.
Unfortunately whatever you say you’re always going to offend someone. That’s why I think intention is what matters most, otherwise you’re just following an angry crowd into cancelling someone for no good reasons.
> Something's screwy about that 409A, it puts the valuation of the company at $3.85M on $10M in invested capital

That is not the valuation of the company, not all shares outstanding are common, some are preferred which are going to have a substantially higher FMV for an early stage.

I don't know what a "normal" multiple/mark-up preferred would normally have at this stage, obviously it varies on terms. 55M shares outstanding this early would not be the sign of a "healthy" cap table unless they didn't start with the standard 10M outstanding.
I believe it’s a sort of satellite-mounted weapon, and not extricable in any way from full surveillance a la smartphone location or - even worse, multiple exploited access points thus triangulating location.

I think it’s most logically a geo-stationary satellite, so wherever launches those might have more information about who might have a radio transmitter or two up there.
Encourage them to become more tech-savvy. Don't let them fall into the media propagated stereotype that there are "nerds" who get tech, and "regulars" who don't. Explain to them that anybody (assuming relatively average intelligence / mental faculties) can become tech-savvy enough to be largely self-sufficient. Let them know that you weren't born magically gifted with deep knowledge of how computers work, but rather that it was something you learned... with the implication being that they can learn to.

Not saying you should encourage everybody to switch careers to software development or network engineering or whatever... just make sure they know that this stuff isn't actually the impenetrable black magic that they might have been led to believe that it is.

I catch lobsters and crabs as a hobby, and this is something I started at a young age (5, small crabs).

I killed and cooked countless of those creatures.

There is absolutely no doubt that they experience pain and fear, like all animals and probably also many plants.

From my experience, I don't think they suffer that much when boiled alive, they die in less than two seconds, it is very quick because of their low volume and good thermal conductivity.

I think they suffer much more during transport.

Alas, like many seafood they deteriorate extremely quickly when dead.

The court seems to be doing its job then. I could cite many examples of justified shootings due to the stand-your-ground statute in Texas, and there are a few examples that are unjustified.

In the unjustified cases, the shooter is found guilty. That's how the system functions: by shooting, you are certain enough that the individual is committing a crime that you are willing to go to jail if incorrect.

It's certainly better than the alternative found in other states, where people are tried and found guilty for defending themselves, their loved ones, and their property.

I'm very introverted myself, but I realized if I'm trying to make friends or whatever I have to deal with the small talk.

I think there is a vanishingly small amount of people - even amongst introverts - that will jump straight into the deep end of a discussion with someone right off the bat. Most of my introvert friends also engage in warm up small talk before talking about whatever it is we talk about.

That said, I don't make small talk with strangers unless I'm interested in making them a friend or acquaintance: so I suppose your opportunity cost perspective still applies, as I definitely don't make small talk just to make a silence more comfortable.
