I wonder how well such a type of restaurant would do on it's own, outside of an IKEA.

Basically Scandinavian 'fast food' - healthy but also very 'hearty' and simple enough for Western tastes. The brightly lit, simply decorated rooms, kind of a 'cafeteria' feel where families can eat.

From the article, a 100 golfer tournament with a hole in one prize of $7500 costs $187 in premiums. If the hole in one probability of each golfer is 1/12500, the expected payout is only $7500/12500*100=$60, so I'm going with "hugely profitable".

I don't think schools put any thought along the lines you just did. I think schooling operates the way it does because that is just the easiest. It continues to operate that way because the people who decide how schools, especially colleges, are run are exactly the people who overachieved to a huge degree in that same environment, so they have their ego tied up in it being meaningful to do well in it.

Take grading, why do they start at 100 and just take points off for mistakes? It's just easier, most people most of the time get most things correct (or at least most work isn't worth discussing) so it's less work to just skim the work and paint some red where necessary than it is to evaluate and explain how each part contributed to the final grade. The latter would require a lot of thinking and would take a lot longer.

Why be very strict with timelines and time boxing of assignments and tests? Again, it is just practical and easier. Making everyone turn in work on time makes grading it less of a chore since you won't be grading this random assignment and that random assignment, you'll have a stack of 30 of the same assignment and you can get in the zone and burn through them with optimally low effort. The same with tests, why would we care if it took one student an extra week to get to mastery compared to a peer on test 1, and maybe vice versa on test 2? Isn't it better to encourage all students to reach mastery before continuing on, so they don't move to the next topic in the same class unprepared? Well then you have to have lots of equivalent tests, since once you give a test it is 'out there' and students aren't trusted not to cheat.

I am confident there is no rational for any of the above besides it being practical and/or less effort for teachers, and it isn't questioned because the teachers had absolutely no problem performing in such an environment.

Your data must be very sparse or include a lot of escape chars for that.

I've seen a lot of CSV where everything is quoted, meaning that the cell separator is effectively

","

which is only one character less than

Very cool project. I have had the exact same thoughts for a solution to kill Linkedin. The icing on the cake would be to use Linkedin Auth and help pre-poulate this. This will help with the adoption and once recruiters start using it, we have a winner (And a dead linkedin too).
This sure seems to be what happens when the long tail runs into the paradox of choice.

One thing I've noticed, it is now way easier to create content over this time period as well.

I now have a camera that can record beautiful 8K video, I can produce high-quality music records, and I don't have to rent or hire anyone. I've got a CNC that can crank out perfect templates for my woodworking. But there are now millions of others who can (and are) doing the same thing.

And thus, it's stupidly easy to find something new, but it's hard to find something new and consistently good. So we just gravitate to the proven because, ugh, our free time is valuable.

My only sense is that the oligopoly will persist, and probably become even more focused. But the "1000 true fans" approach for small-time producers is still the best way forward. Don't even bother trying to compete with big-time media, just try to build strong connections, thus being a "trusted" choice.

Pumping station meaning tankers transport the waste away.

> to co-opt any emerging dissent and counter-culture almost immediately

It has to do with the nature of the dissenters themselves. Nowadays they are politics / social media wannabees. When corporates coopot your movement, they make you rich and famous. Nothing makes a 'ladder climber' more happy.

The nature of dissent in the 50s was more about the problems than the status assigned to the people. You couldn't easily lure them away with sneaky gifts.

Worst of all, the 50s-esque true believers do exist. But they get cannibalized and spit out by the exact cabal of milque-toast corporate activism. The ones that don't are so radical that they only serve as red-flags on the danger of true belief, because all the reasonable ones got squash under corporate America's feet.
Here’s some more information on Ultorg:

> Ultorg creates general-purpose software that helps organizations manage their data. Based on a new method for interactive data visualization, our product combines ease-of-use with expressive power to allow end-users to query, display, and edit relational data, without resorting to custom programming.

This has been an issue for me.

Sometimes I work 60 hour work weeks, sometimes am down to 10.

As far back, as I can remember. I've never been one to have consistent energy levels.

But a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon something: automation.

As a solo founder, you do a lot of stuff by yourself; emails, calls, coding, finance etc

But most of this, if you're a tech startup, can be automated. For free.(if you're a programmer that is)

For me, i automated email replies, how they got sorted in my inbox depending on the priority. Same case to calls, and my calendar events.

My energy levels are still unpredictable. But at least now, there's not that much backlog when I get back to work.

I really don't know if this is what you wanted to here... Goodluck anyway.

What are you working on?

Yes — it has:

Having defined the steelman version of their argument, you can show why radio isotope dating is a contrary fact.

Without that, you’re not demonstrating anything by yammering about radio isotopes — it’s a context free fact that can’t influence the debate.

It’s only once you have shown that their argument depends on radio isotope dating not being true that the fact radio isotope dating does work becomes relevant to a refutation. You need both their argument and a contrary fact to demonstrate a contradiction.

That’s the purpose of a steelman: to use the best version of their argument in your own argument — and so avoid the strawman fallacy when refuting their point.
Yeah I always like to think like this sometimes, but as far as we know a "reference" doesn't make sense in the brain - it doesn't have access to external stuff so in the brain context it would be like neurons connecting to a single neuron.

The standard of counting as "Tiffany" is strange. He's not happy with Θεοφανώ or Theophania, but he's perfectly happy to count (French) Tiphaine, Thifaine, Thiephaine, and (English) Tephany as being "obviously" the modern name. But the difference between Tephany and Theophania is down to the "Th" at the beginning. Why agonize over the difference between the very well-attested Greek Theophania and modern Tiffany if it's so clear that medieval Tephany matches the modern form? It's a better match for the Greek form!

I was sharing theories with a friend just yesterday as to why bad managers exist, why they last so long in there position, and why they aren't summarily fired.

They may have a good relationship with senior leadership.
The are ok with being the "bad guy", which weak leadership sometimes needs.
Their team is too fearful to complain.
Senior leadership may be more willing to "protect their own" and one one two employees complaining may not constitute enough of a reason to fire a fellow leader.

Also ironically sometimes bad managers can make for good teams. The team comes together in an US vs Them mentality, learn to be more self-sufficient, and work hard to avoid the wrath of their awful manager.
I’m Chris Wright, mentioned in the 2nd link. I had the original idea, as the article says I commissioned Stefan to write it for me as I had next to no coding skills back then (apart from HTML and PHP). I ran a fairly successful SNES emulation site (I knew the teams behind Snes9x and Zsnes well) and was looking for a gimmick to boost traffic. Stefan took things off in his own direction with the Graal makeover (we never actually got threatened by Nintendo legal) and we lost touch. There was a house in the game that was ‘mine’ and credited me with the idea.

Half related fun fact: I was also behind the very first leak of the SNES Starfox 2 ROM onto the web. One of the devs, which I prob shouldn’t name (though I think it is common knowledge now) was a fan of the site. He got in touch and we did an exclusive interview and ROM release.

How could you even prevent the government from accessing the data if any random company with a few bucks can get it?

But the implication here is that PHP is easy for "ordinary users". It's not, though.

I agree. I've often wondered: why can't web server apps be installed with the same ease-of-use as desktop apps? Simply click through simple screens and installation is complete. All desktop users know how to install desktop apps. Unfortunately, Sandstorm and Cloudron - trying to provide easy app installs - are not widely supported by hosting providers.
I was hoping for some actual data. As I mentioned there's plenty of anecdata online, but I don't know if anyone has really studied this. The article you linked to suggests that nobody has done a systematic study.

> ... if one is not racing, is it really worth the extra risk for minor performance improvements?

It really depends on how much extra risk there is and how much the rider values the performance improvements. Without actual data about the (relative) risk of carbon fiber failure in bike components, we have to guess based on the information we have avaliable. Most of this seems to either be anecdotal, or coming from from interested parties, e.g. bike manufacturers, lawyers who make their living suing bike manufacturers, and journalists who are probably more interested in writing about something exciting happening than something exciting not happening. My impression is that the relative risk of of using carbon fiber in some (but perhaps not all) bike components is pretty small compared to the other risks involved in biking, and the performance improvements are big enough to be worth it for me, even though I don't race.
This is my biggest concern - I see the motivation behind the law of "lets make sure banks give loans to a lot of people if it's for education so they can do it", but we don't need to also remove the risk for them in giving those loans. For example you could have a law saying banks need to accept 20% of applications regardless and then accept whatever losses there may be. This might make a law that puts a lot of banks out of business, but it accomplishes the same goal without putting all the risk on the individuals

I think it’s because csv is good enough.

All the standards I’ve seen haven’t been worth the effort to implement. So since csv, with all its flaws, is good enough it crowds out other open standards.

People complain about it, but it’s not really much of a challenge to use csv. I’d also prefer it over the crap (rdf, xml, even schemad json) proposed by people who value more structure. It’s easier for me to just make clean production and consumption programs than to spend time on a really structured table format.

Although I would love a simple, tabular format so I’d never have to use csv again.

That makes me wonder, how big does the gap have to be between a supposed prophecy and the supposed fulfilment of that prophecy before we can't call it "self-fulfilling" any more?

I suppose that on a time scale of thousands of years, a lot of analytical methods break down (and certainly it would be hard to start any new experiments which take that long to complete), but I think that epistemological bonus points should go to anyone whose interpretation of a prophecy guessed the correct ~50 year period for its fulfilment roughly 1800 years in advance.
