This isn't really a very good analogy, because an organ donation is a one time event with no continuous, parasitic relationship between donor and receiver.

A much better analogy might be where you have a special blood type, and there's a person somewhere who needs regular transfusions of your blood in particular to continue living. No other blood will do, only yours.

In this analogy, we can first agree that the healthy person has no obligation to begin donating to the sick person, and this is strongly supported by legal precedent in the US at least. If there exists a frozen embryo, it is not legally justifiable to force some healthy woman to have it implanted.

We could also probably agree that if the healthy person is kidnapped and their blood taken against their will, they have no obligation to continue. This would give us an abortion exception for the cases rape and incest.

But the open question might be, if the healthy person consents to start donating, do they have the right to rescind their consent at anytime, say after 3 months of consistently donating blood? Do they have the right if they learn that donating blood so regularly is rapidly destroying their own health and is putting their own life at risk? Do they have the right revoke consent if the doctors are quite certain that the sick person will die in 3 months? Do they have a right to revoke consent just because they don't want to do it anymore, even though the sick person will die?
That was a real rollercoaster story but great happy ending!
What's your point exactly? You see it way more now and, at least to me, the culture accepted quietly excusing yourself more than silently dropping out of a call.
Pretty close to Leiden, Hillegom, Lisse, Haarlem though. But I see what you mean, it is a good analogy for Almere, especially areas like 'Landleeuw'.
Yep exactly, Krypton looked interesting, sorry to see it's dead.

And yep Apple is way ahead on this imo, the touch sensor securely communicates with the Secure Enclave, I'm not aware of other laptop hardware doing that. (https://support.apple.com/en-bh/guide/security/sec067eb0c9e/...)

I'd love to have something equivalent for Linux, but given that requires hardware support I think relaying auth requests to your phone is the closest equivalent.

I think this would be much more healthy than the multi-phase aim-for-the-moon approach everybody takes today. And quite likely brings better results for both the investor and the founders.

If the business is already on the path to a small profitability, it is much more likely to get into large profitability than something that wasn't even started. And much less likely to get into a total loss.

Your points also seem a bit odd:

> Less availability of capital

There's no reason for that. If the investments are less risky, there should be more capital, not less.

> More dilution

Yep, at least more dilution per round. Companies doing that shouldn't do multi-round or have a very small first round followed by a second one.

> Less faith in "visionary founder" CEOs and more desire by investors to bring in professional management

Hum... Bringing management is a VC only thing. Their desire to bring management is clearly one of the forces stopping them form investing on less risky ventures. It's a non-performing choice for risky startups, and it's a non-performing choice for less risky ones. I'll just not call it stupid because there are handful of contexts where it's not, but doing it by default is clearly stupid. The good thing is that it's not viable for less risky bets.

> Long and protracted due diligence processes before the check even lands

Hell yes. That's the largest difference.
These are very good questions. I'm not 100% sure where this will go. Your comments are helpful in helping define the contours of the space to explore.

The citizens of Rome, at the height of its power, must have thought it could never possibly fall. But that world of Roman domination did eventually come to an end.

In America, there have already been mini-apocolypses all over the country. Great cities like Detroit rose and fell. Where there was once prosperity, there is now poverty, misery, and crime.

The world, as people knew it, has already ended many times before. Empires rise and fall. Peoples conquer and perish. All things in this world are transitory.

I'm not prophesying that it will be the end of time for everyone, but for many people it will be. And this complacent attitude, which lulls us to sleep with happy thoughts and a magical reading of history that seems to predict a bright future, can surely be counted as one of the contributing factors to the immanent end of the world as we know it.
I feel like the cycle of Slack is:

1. Everyone subscribes everyone to tons of notifications and people send email to everyone.

2. Everyone gets too much email and starts ignoring it.

3. Everyone hates email, no one responds.

4. They switch to Slack. It is great, high signal-to-noise, channels to organize.

5. People start adding notifications, subscriptions, blasting messages to many channels.

6. You are back to all of the problems of email.
It's important to separate out microservices and kubernetes. They aren't the same thing, and Kubernetes isn't the only way to run microservices. Tons of companies were running microservices prior to kubernetes ever launching.

The core idea is that services communicating via an API that have self-contained infrastructure is easier in a large organization, easier to scale, and allows you to make the right technical decisions for the problem.
> The current young people simply are too unstable and too close to poverty to take the risks.

One piece of the solution that is very clear to me and contains many other upsides is better access to healthcare. The fact that Americans mostly get healthcare through large corporate jobs significantly ratchets up the risk of entrepreneurialism. A better healthcare safety net would make it safer to leave the safe confines of a corporate job that provides health insurance.
its why fart jokes are funny.
Your arguments are valid, so the truth is that none of the sources of omega-3 fatty acids that are the best choice now are good enough for the long term.

Nevertheless, eating a small quantity of animal food for covering the requirement for omega-3 fatty acids is still a great improvement over eating a large quantity of animal food containing other kinds of fat, which is better obtained from vegetable sources. Therefore, except for a little fish oil, I do not eat any other kind of animal fat.

I still hope to live enough to see improvements in the techniques of culturing unicellular organisms that can produce omega-3 acids, so that their oil will become cheap enough to replace the other sources, like oily fish, cod liver or pig brains.

In my opinion, in the distant future, the final solution to the food problem will be to have some genetically-engineered organisms, either derived from some parasitic plants, or derived from some fungi, able to produce edible parts mimicking all the foods that exist now, from apples or bananas to pork or beef meat, when fed only with minerals and with a simple organic substance, such as sugar or glucose, or maybe one as simple as ethanol, as the energy source.

Such genetically-engineered organisms would be grown indoors, possibly under ground, to save space.

The fixing of carbon dioxide into a simple substance like sugar and of dinitrogen into ammonia, would be made separately, in some devices using the energy provided by solar cells, which would cover much of what is now agricultural land.

Such artificial devices using solar energy to convert CO2, N2 and water into sugar, ammonia and free oxygen, could have much better efficiencies than the existing plants (though a lot of improvements over the existing technologies are needed to reach such a goal).

On the other hand, for the synthesis of the complex organic substances that are needed for our complete food, no methods better than those used in living beings are known yet.
I relate so much with this article
I've had a previous experience with a backend monolith repo, and these days I have to deal with a backend that has 20+ repos. It is hell. Duplicated code, duplicated logic, duplicated tests, duplicated settings, an hell to introduce newbies to the architecture, async calls to external basic APIs that could've been just simple method calls.

I think that the one major disadvantage of having a big monorepo, is that with those multiple entry points, you might end up with a bunch of unused dependencies. But even that is manageable I think: you can have different package dependencies definitions whilst using the same codebase.

I've always worked with small teams (max up to 5 or 6 developers) and that's another point in favor of monorepos. I understand that big companies might want to have different teams working on different repos, for organisation reasons.

I would expect plants to be CO2 negative while growing since they're using the carbon to add to their dry mass. Once fully grown I'd expect the plants to be roughly neutral.
Abstract:

The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) provided small businesses with roughly $800 billion dollars in uncollateralized, low-interest loans during the pandemic, almost all of which will be forgiven. With 94 percent of small businesses ultimately receiving one or more loans, the PPP nearly saturated its market in just two months. We estimate that the program cumulatively preserved between 2 and 3 million job-years of employment over 14 months at a cost of $169K to $258K per job-year retained. These numbers imply that only 23 to 34 percent of PPP dollars went directly to workers who would otherwise have lost jobs; the balance flowed to business owners and shareholders, including creditors and suppliers of PPP-receiving firms. Program incidence was ultimately highly regressive, with about three-quarters of PPP funds accruing to the top quintile of households. PPP's breakneck scale-up, its high cost per job saved, and its regressive incidence have a common origin: PPP was essentially untargeted because the United States lacked the administrative infrastructure to do otherwise. Harnessing modern administrative systems, other high-income countries were able to better target pandemic business aid to firms in financial distress. Building similar capacity in the U.S. would enable improved targeting when the next pandemic or other large-scale economic emergency inevitably arises.

Two random notes:

> A hybrid solution is probably best

IMVHO definitively not because of some practical aspects: a company needs offices to host workers, and using them less they are paid and less used, also people need gears, witch means or moving stuff around or have two set of anything. Surely, offices can be rent, can be smaller etc but I see exactly no reason to even try hybrid setup. It's like at war having two generals with opposite ideas and decide to put themselves in the middle, witch means something that does not work in BOTH cases... Not counting the fact that for hybrid setups remote workers still need to be at a reasonable distance to reach the office as needed cutting some economic and life options for many...

> Some people do take advantage of WFH and work less. Some people who cannot WFH feel it is unfair.

Normally we should be paid for the value we gives to the company, not for how hard we work... If with much less effort I do more there is nothing wrong from the company POV, at maximum I might feel overqualified or being happy with the load. The complexity lay IMVHO in the fact that there is very little experience in WFH on scale, witch scare many, there is incertitude for the future so many do not want to invest in something new until the society stabilize etc unfortunately like for ANY "new" thing we can't have "young and experienced workers". We can progress taking risks and eventually profiting from results or remain as we are giving up progress, research, development. Both can work a bit, until something break things again. Since we have only one life and no undo for it I prefer exploring instead of remaining locked. With care, surely, taking time to live and breath but still evolving.
Yes but observing the end effect it was apparent a lot of that money went into the stock market, and thus didn’t really go where it was needed. The damage was done already.
Right tool for the job should have been the message all along.
yes this is one of the agile issues

we try to tightly manage estimates & timelines on small iterative tasks, breaking up any larger work items into smaller and smaller stories, in beautiful hierarchies of tickets..

the only innovative work happens out of sprint / nights & weekends as unapproved stuff that would have been nickel&dimed into 27 stories across 10 sprints if it went through the agile process

in a Greenfield project these sorts of estimates driven iterative work methods are innovation killers
Oxybenzone studies have in the past been funded by a sunscreen company in hawaii, and used those to push for the ban of Oxybenzone sunscreen sales in Hawaii. Since Hawaii is an island, everyone needs to buy sunscreen on arrival after landing at the airport. Oxybenzone studies have been questioned previously based on the amount used in sunscreen, dilution in The Ocean, and those used in the study. Follow the money.
I had to go double check some words because of your comment, you are correct though. Turns out 'screwdriver' can refer to manual or powered, where I had been using 'screwdriver' to mean manual and 'drill' was pulling double duty as both powered screwdriver and drills of all sorts. For anyone else curious, while they are frequently used interchangeably, the difference is that an electric screwdriver goes slower to give you better precision.

...which is why you need strong regulatory oversight if you want the software market to have any functioning level of efficiency.

The economies of scale are enormous in software (and data-oriented businesses in general). That's good for the efficiency of any given enterprise, but it pushes very heavily towards monopolization and zero competition without regulatory force to counterbalance.
Yeah, because space based fairy tales provide a proper basis to engineer a fighting force.

There are many good reasons why one would want a manual over-ride. The imagination of popular script writers is not one of them.
I think team culture means a lot, and you can change it even as IC.

We have Slack and sometimes people DM me... but I have been trying to push them to more accessible locations (like a team channel). Simply telling, "I think this discussion would be interesting for many people, let's continue in thread in #some_channel" works surprisingly well!
I think the Linux kernel is a special case. For starters, due to the nature of the kernel itself, a lot of components are very intertwined. You'll be hard pressed to find one area of the kernel core in which you can work without at least having an idea of how other parts work. But for other components, such as drivers, you'll find they're far more independent and different teams do work on them, and update them separately even in out-of-tree module builds, mimicking a bit how you'd do microservices in that limited setting.

> The underlying assumption that US devs are somehow 'better'

Who ever said that? 99% of US devs are Indian devs anyway - in 30 years of developing software I've probably only ever worked with a few dozen US natives. Devs in the same time zone, with at least a passing knowledge of US culture, on the other hand...
I hope you're being sarcastic, since this isn't the case with my office. We do have some Aeron chairs, but those were bought over a decade ago, and new chairs are decidedly non-ergonomic. And monitors? Nothing 4k (much less 5K for the Apple guys), just generic 24" screens that are terrible.

Maybe. I am curious what Webb will do for science, it's going to be around for a lot longer than originally planned so maybe we'll get lucky and something very interesting will turn up. For sure the instruments are in a class of their own.

And who knows, maybe at some point we'll see a revival of the project.

Funding wise I think it was mostly Hubble missions that ate up a sizeable chunk of TPF's budget, not so much the JWT, is there something I can read that documents that this was a binary choice?

Personally I think that we can't spend enough on projects such as this, the knowledge gained will serve us for as long as mankind manages not to blow itself up.
I'm proposing an alternative to the same goal.
The last two years of inflation in tech stocks don't feel like the kind of new-market hype that was so endemic in 2000. I remember the gobs of new companies going unicorn all the time with massive VC investment and tv ad bliztkreigs.

Lately, it feels like a milder ride of speculation in existing companies (Will Zoom be a good investment since everyone is using Zoom?? Amazon is delivering everything! They must go up!).

When some of those gambles don't pay off, and businesses return to a normal-er climate with pre-pandemic profits, a return to 2018/2019 levels wouldn't be so hard to believe, probably with a little dip as home and speculative investors panic.

This comment may age like milk.
> The shape of a bell (a solid of revolution) can be described by one function u:R->R

If you phrase it that way “surface of revolution” describes bells much better than “solid of revolution”.

I think “solid of revolution” is the better term, though. That allows you to model varying wall thickness. You’d need more than a function u:ℝ->ℝ to do that.

Also, I don’t a priori see why the shape of a bell would be limited to such functions. If the edge of a bell bends inwards into the bell and goes up a bit, I think I would still call it a bell, especially if it somewhat sounds like one.

Finally, rotational symmetry isn’t required for a bell. Your typical cow bell, for example, is elliptical or even rectangular (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cowbell_(instrument))

⇒ the design space is a lot larger than you indicate.
