> What is bottom up vs top down process?

More power/product decisions from the bottom or the developers/creatives/value creators than the top down project managers/finance/value extractors.

Yes, making your own projects is almost a requirement or having side projects when work in on a big team on your day job or other projects. Everyone needs a creative outlet and programming, no matter how hard they try to remove it, is a creative process.

While revenue/value extraction is important long term, it is much easier to sell when love/value creation is present. You can't market and extract value from value that isn't there. You can't rush a quality game mechanic that makes all aspect of your game fun.

Creativity doesn't always fit a 8-6 tightly wound agile process focused on just revenue, you need some open mode or play with that closed mode. It is why indies and artists or writers perform better when they can control their own destiny more. With less oversight directing you to short chance important parts or prototypes, there is more play and open mode which always leads to a better refined product especially where "fun" is part of the product.
> Why does democracy require free speech? Can I not vote for whoever I want even if I'm mute?

I think it would be extremely difficult for the electorate to make educated decisions about who to vote for if speech supporting a certain candidate is suppressed, for example.

Free speech and the ability to vote are deeply intertwined. Without the ability to discuss candidates and issues openly, the electorate can’t make an informed, honest choice. If one candidate or side of the debate is suppressed or censored, that in and of itself affects the outcome of an election.

Who is we? I think most donators understood what they were donating to and feel fine about it.

Totally with you about the licensing requirements, but the HR thing just seems like a rant. Corporate beurocracies are risk-adverse to a fault, HR's KPIs aren't related to company performance. I think they're trying not to get fired.
When citizens start working around the law (if it passes), the forces who pushed for the law will start going after "unregulated" app stores and even websites that implement unfiltered chat / picture sending services.

On the other hand, coming to love pretty much all of my now-favorite artists wasn’t a waste of time.

And this isn’t like a chore I’ve set out to get musically enriched. It’s just “oh yeah, I have that album! I didn’t like it last time but I’m in the mood to have another listen.” Some of these have been years between and sudden discoveries that I had buried my own treasures.

It I’ve ever felt like trying to appreciate an album was a chore but one I wanted to pursue anyway, it was Radiohead’s Amnesiac. I loved the band already but felt put off by the work at first. Even then, I put it away, came back later and fell in love on whichever was the next fresh listen.

But several of my favorite artists, I literally had no interest in at all at first. Then they just caught me in the right moment and the right emotional space. Some of these albums date back to the first I bought, around 13ish(?) and have been favorites for well over 20 years.

Again I don’t think everyone should experience music this way. It’s just my experience. My only point in sharing it, besides sharing a bit of my own joy, is to welcome other people who do find it appealing to either pursue it or feel less oddball for it.

You’re welcome to enjoy listening and discovering music however you see fit. I’m glad you like what you like! This isn’t a conflict or at least it shouldn’t be.

Edit: I also want to be clear, my investment in revisiting music I'd panned wasn’t monetary at all. I have hundreds of CDs I listened to once or twice and tossed in a binder, ignored ever since. My investment is “something about this work felt interesting to me; it still does, even if I’m not ready for it now; I want to revisit it again, and having some artifact [whether it’s a physical album or even just a download] leaves me something to re-discover.”
Buying a non-dividend stock and selling it a higher price does not cost the company a cent. The profit doesn't come from the company at all.
All slopes are slippery. The real question is to what degree. Some slopes are far more slick than others.
As explained in another comment:

> Consensus in both of them is based on unforgeable costliness, to make it economically unviable to create alternative histories.

> In both systems, total cost of mining approaches the block reward. For example, if block rewards are $10 million a day, then $10 million worth of energy is used in PoW. PoST burns through $10 million worth of hard drives.
I honestly need the opposite of this most the time. It's almost muscle memory for me to do `Tools -> Any Time -> Past Year` on any search for technical information.

Your take (that they are driving away donors by giving to causes you think are silly) would seem to be contradicted by the content of the post (that they have raised so much money that they need new models for how to distribute it).
This article was a great constructive criticism.
for what it's worth, i was grateful to be called out on my gender assumption. that assumption can cause widespread harm. i'm less concerned about my pronoun assumption.
I learnt "fits but won't work" running 5v(worked for the 486DX2) through a 3.3v CPU(DX4 100). The nymphs decided it was too hot and left.

Since then, building your own PC has gotten easier and easier. As you say, mostly if it fits it works. Which I think is great!

But how did plugging stuff in from the outside go the other way...
You speak on behalf of a huge untapped market.

The cheapest iPods were second-hand, from drug dealers in high school. Broken. For as cheap as 40 CHF.

Never underestimate the power of a child with a screwdriver.

If you really don't want to use iFixit to learn, I'd be happy to buy you the best iPod in the world.
It's also a problem of opportunity costs.

> something as simple as installing an outlet during construction requires a level of physical skill that is so far beyond what any robot can do that we have no idea how it would be accomplished

This could be the equivalent of the Turing test for robotics, perhaps. Although I'd extend it to "install a new outlet in any randomly selected existing house, as requested by the occupants and in accordance with local regulations and national electrical standards, without damaging anything. And clean up after yourself."

All automakers have to do is require access to that data for features, like maps, traffic updates, or entertainment.

I hate the idea of in-car advertising, and I don't like the thought my data being sold. But I do give up some privacy for functionality. My biggest annoyance with my car is I don't have Android Auto for the maps, I use google maps when driving, and video from my ADAS is used as training data.
The math depends largely on what sort of housing situation you are assuming. As you probably know. $1.5-$1.8MM is a small (1200-1500 sq ft.) 3bd/2bth ranch house in a San Jose suburb with mediocre schools and strip mall culture. (e.g., https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1995-Majestic-Way-San-Jos...)

It goes up from there. Townhouses are getting close to $1.5MM now in the same area. I haven't followed prices in SF recently, but they are no better I assume. I think you'd be priced out of a small house on the peninsula at $500k/year.

If you're paying for college times 2, I don't know, $500k sounds kind of minimal with 7-10k a month mortgage if you want any sort of ability to save a meaningful amount of money.

Keep in mind you'll be paying $30k+ a year in property taxes every single year for the privilege of that house.
I wonder if Google engineers still use Google products.
I can add this. A lot of specialized tools like watch tools, like high priced Bergeon/Horia, are found much cheaper on Alibaba with generic names.

Vector watch lathes are Sincere lathes but cleaned up machinist wize, and put in a fancy wood laser etched box. Basically you are paying 2-3x for packaging, and minor fine tuning.

I was once for tartifs.

I wish we could go back to products being made in certain European countries, and the USA, but that ship has sailed. (Meaning countries that paid a living wage, and offered social services to their poor. USA is sadily not even trying to help its poorest citizens.)

I still buy overpriced tooling/products on Amazon/ebay with jacked up prices because I just can't be sure on my intuition, and hate giving the Chinese my debt card. I should just buy prepaid cards, but they are another added expense, and very scammy.

(There are no laws stating Prepaid cards need to tell you how much you have left on their cards. In most cases you need to talk to a representative of the company. And yes--the amount of money consumers forget they have on their prepaid cards is staggering. (A simple fix would be a federal law stating that any money left on prepaid card is returned to buyer, or at least email them of their balance.)

If the Chinese government guaranteed they would go after any merchant that was fraudulent; I would buy most products from China.

Why? Because buying American does not seem to filter down to the employees, or in taxes. The CEO's just get richer?
Yes — that’s why I’m watching the trial: to see the evidence.

Though, Heard’s case has already started: the second forensic psychologist was hired by Heard and called as her witness and Heard herself is currently giving her testimony (which, watching it in full I find unconvincing and in conflict with evidence already presented).

I looked into how USB 2 unpowered hubs work and it sounds like "not very well."

For example, Anker sells a USB 3 hub and it's up to the user to make sure that whatever is plugged into it doesn't exceed 900 milliamps.

I'm thinking that a good way to go would be to get a hub that connects to a USB-C port and lets you plug in USB 2/3 devices? That way there's plenty of power for them without needing a power adapter. Plus USB 2 devices are cheaper.
How is that different from any other technical standard or product design?
i wonder if coinbase is subject to rehypothecation https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/rehypothecation.asp
How about optmising for the customer. Where profits were required, and where there was legitimate competition, this generally used to be a necessity. The "VC backed advice" cannot be to optimise for the customer because it must optimised for the client investor first. This often relies on giving away work for free to non-customers and operating at a loss in order to achieve anti-competitive "growth" and "scale" (according to the "playbook"). The non-customers are the "product", marketed as advertising targets for customers. The race ("sprint") is to acquire unfettered access to the majority of non-customers by getting them to sign in to or otherwise visit cookie-setting websites, install mobile apps, and/or purchase always online computers with pre-installed apps and other surveillance built-in.

A sad casuality of "tech" VC mania is that small scale online businesses are passed over. Apparently internet-reliant startups must all subscribe to VC ideals because that is the only way they can be funded. Selling products and services for profit to non-advertisers is largely ignored as a viable option due the incessant focus on the www's feudual robber barons and the army of robot-like "tech" workers who ignore the lack of ethics and absence of long-term sustainability ("best practices") and want to be just like them. Few are interested in independently-owned, "Mom-and-Pop" online businesses, except for the opportunity to turn them into sharecroppers.
My understanding is that Displayport is already packetized, having USB4 packetize it again seems suboptimal? I think both Displayport and HDMI have official specs that work over the USB-C connector.
People are really surprised by this? You should definitely assume that crypto exchanges and other crypto intermediaries of all stripes do not hold your crypto in a bankruptcy-remote structure.
I am ok with various devices having various capabilities. Not too surprising given they are made from various bits.

But I want one damn cable to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. And a way to know what cable that is.
Seems kind of disingenuous to include the down payment as a cost considering, in principle, it's a transfer of one kind of wealth to another. Otherwise, your expenses line up well with my own family's expenses in the Bay Area.

Two thoughts:

* First, although they are claiming every aspect of this battery is quite a bit better, the key variable missing is price.

* Interesting that $1 billion investment, partially by Qatar Investment Authority. It seems the oil states may be realizing things are changing. It might also incentive them to get on board with electrification.
First, two long haul back-to-back flights of 14 hours from the US to Brisbane, Australia as (first-class) passengers followed by a charter to Alice Springs. Then, they flew to Jakarta, Sri Lanka, Oman (for the night), Egypt, and two stops in France. Finally, home via Paris and Lisbon. All of this in the midst of COVID restrictions last year. Impressive.
They are actually concentrating on these sites:

> $1.5mm usd Mortgage (20% down): $105,000/year

That's way too high. https://www.bankrate.com/mortgages/mortgage-calculator/ gives ~83k/year at presumably today's interest rate (5.61%). At a quite plausible 3.5% it's ~65k.
Fair enough — that's why I'm watching, too!
It's Sturgeon's law applied to arguments. 90 percent of arguments are inconsistent and short-sighted.

But, there is room for a nuanced consistent position regarding common carriers and/or monopolies having fewer freedoms than other businesses. Granted, many free speech maximalists aren't making these nuanced arguments, but some are.

90 percent of arguments going against the consensus are crap, but it's vitally important that we don't stifle dissenting arguments. The biggest problems with free speech are libel, fraud, and a woeful lack of critical thinking in the general populous. The first two can be handled with better laws. I think better critical thinking education starting in late elementary school is vital to counteract some of the ill effects of social media.
And the most important aspect of all (when cars are involved): safety.

Ms SQL has extended properties, particularly the ms_description one that is exposed in ssms. But that's comments on database columns and objects, not data points.

Which highlights the difference between the registry and an rdbms. In an rdbms you can absolutely comment the columns and tables, just not the rows and individual data points.

In the registry, the data isn't tabular. Every data point has a corresponding field name. That name absolutely would support a comment in sql.
Interesting, I haven't noticed this issue, but I use my watch on the same hand that changes gear (at least when I'm in a country that drives on the right, which is most of the time), so I guess I'm used to having that hand off the wheel fairly often anyway.

(Edited to add: I just went for a drive and paid more attention to how I use the watch with Maps, and I don't take my hand off the wheel if I'm just looking at the directions. Rotating it towards me quickly is enough to get the screen to wake. I have the Series 6 where the screen only dims and hides dynamic information when 'sleeping'. Maybe older watches where the screen actually turns off & on have a higher threshold before they wake?)
A drop in retail assets north of 10% in a quarter does not sound like stability to me, especially for a company spending like they are in hyper growth mode. It sounds more like an existential risk to the business.
We're not just talking about words here, though. You have to ask yourself:

* Who do I trust to look at the pictures in the government database?

* Who does the government trust to look at these pictures?

* Who would even be willing to look at these pictures?

These are probably disjoint sets, leading to a very empty intersection. Unfortunately, the logical impossibility of a government implementing a system that citizens should be happy with is not a barrier to it implementing some other system which it claims is good enough.
Would you have someone who's broke and unemployed pay the same amount of tax as a billionaire?

Ideally taxes shouldn't be a large burden to anyone. The richer someone is, the larger absolute amount of taxes that person can pay for the same burden level. In fact, it's not just a fixed percent. The richer someone is, the larger percent of taxes that person can pay for the same burden level.

The rich got to where they are by using the infrastructure built by the government. A rich person gets more value from the government than a poor person, so thus it's fair that a rich person pays more in taxes.
I wish I'd thought of that! I used to work with someone who was unbearable and he also hated butterflies. I should have snuck as many butterfly references in the code as I could.

It is true that some might need to be done manually, but Google Scholar shows that it can be done, with some level of accuracy, via HTML and PDF scraping. PIDs and more formalized metadata make things much easier. But Google Scholar did result in pressure on platforms/publishers/repositories to put at least minimal metadata in HTML meta tags, and this can be machine-extracted. And there is a ton of content and metadata available via OAI-PMH. Neither of these technologies cost anything to publishers on the margin, once they get them implemented, and many have to reap the discovery benefits of large search indices.

I like the TB4 page. But I wish there were some deep level reviews.

I've tried every brand name TB3 dock. At least at the time, there were no simple "power expander" type docks, just the kind with a variety of ports. They are all buggy af. Although people do rave about the reliability of CalDigit, it's also buggy IME. I think people plug and unplug. If you leave any of these plugged in at all times, they all crash in some way.

Now with TB4, I have an Anker simple 1-up 3-down compact dock. It works great in my testing and I'm happy to use dongles as the dock isn't portable anyway. But I had to put it in the drawer for the future, since it only works in TB3 mode with Bug Sir and above, and I'm holding out with Catalina as long as possible.

Sorry, I'm not a biochemist, which is why my post consists of two questions. I do think a diet with plenty of n-3 is good, just not sure how much or what type. But I'm glad I made you curious. Please do more research and form your own conclusions. Also please note that when I wrote AA I meant arachidonic acid, which your link unfortunately does not address.

This is also my gripe. Information on fatty acids is extremely basic and sometimes downright condescending, as if all n-3, n-6, n-9 PUFA are the same. They don't seem to be.
I know that. But this happened in the US, if I remember, where getting let go for just about any reason is legal.
Hmm, I thought the thread was about how well or badly PPP was organized. If other stimulus measures, or defense spending was badly managed, that doesn't really mean that PPP was badly managed.
The Registry sounds like a great concept but it's the worst architectural decision Microsoft ever made for Windows.

The idea was to move away from text based ini files, which is previously how Windows apps were configured. At the time I thought "awesome".

However the registry is just a black box full of binary garbage, chewing gum and rubber bands that tightly couples everything in Windows.and it's like spaghetti and can't possibly be unwound.

.ini files were a much better idea, in hindsight.

I've always wished Microsoft would have the courage to somehow get rid of the registry but I don't think it will ever happen.

I feel like Windows needs a clean start that implements its modern APIs, ditches its commitment to backward compatibility, gets rid of the registry, and makes everything including the UI consistent and modular. That's a Windows worth getting excited about.

The unix model of plain text files for configuration is a much better idea than a Registry.

Without the Registry there wouldn't be the concept of "Registry cleaners" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registry_cleaner <--- read this link to get a sense of all the bad things about the Registry.

The Registry is the reason why you need an installer instead of being able to drop application files into a directory and run them.
