Good luck finding places that practice standups for software developers and where it isn't completely broken so that 30 minutes is an underestimate, whatever the number of people on the team.

Those places certainly do exist, just as lottery winners exist too. You just won't find them.
This argument is brought up over and over, but people forget that companies in Germany pay roughly 30% (depending on county) tax on their profits. As a solo entrepreneur with a registered company, that would mean if I make 100€ of profit, 30€ company tax are deducted, and then 25% of the remaining 70€ as capital gains tax when I pay myself the dividends - so I am left with ~53€. That is 47% tax in total, which is actually higher than the maximum personal income tax bracket (42%).
Doesn't a large percentage of the water flooding a rice field in Glenn County still evaporate, both before it enters the plants/aquifer, and later through transpiration?

I don't know the percentages (but would love to learn) but it's certainly not zero.

It's silly to blame the people who buy strawberries and almonds for the water problems in California. If California wasn't growing them already, people wouldn't be buying them from California.
They possesses supernatural abilities and incredible technologies and use them to... maintain American hegemony and the capitalist status quo. It's almost some Elysium type shit.

Yeah but that's not really what happens to Sacramento River water. It's all diverted downstream for other uses. The Tracy pumps that raise the water from the delta into the aqueduct are the largest energy consumer in the state.

I mentioned that it is my x-th tike watching DS9? I like Star Trek, there simply are some aspects that didn't age too well, or that I see differently now.

As a comparison, back the day I t liked Babylon 5 better. Tried watching it again and just couldn't the way I can always rewatch ST TNG, DS9 or even Voyager.
This is a fairly superficial critique.

The actual report is here:

https://atloa.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Guide-to-Nuclear-Deterrence-in-the-Age-of-Great-Power-Competition-Lowther.pdf

It's a 444 page book. It's quite informative. It doesn't say "nuclear war can be won". If anything, it cautions that the Russians may hold an advantage in such a war (page 168)

"While the Russians, as noted above, speak only about limited initial nuclear strikes and then massive nuclear strikes, there could very easily be something else in the middle. Airmen should give thought about how we handle this eventuality if it happens. The reality is that we will run out of low-yield warheads first and the Russians can launch types of attacks we cannot match."
Can you provide a source for your statement? Nothing in the Satoshi white paper says that was the purpose, and Satoshi wasn't even sure if the project would work as digital cash, much less enable wealth transfers.
> He is one of the most brilliant men alive

I wonder where this notion started. Tesla was an existing company he bought and all the heavy lifting a SpaceX was done by other people. He made some good business calls, but I’d say a lot of his success stems from being at the right place, at the right time with the right wallet.
Netflix Updates Corporate Culture Memo, Adding Anti-Censorship Section

I understand the 'normally' part as in "this is how it should be done." And yet in the roughly ten or so acquisitions I've been on the "inside" for (which is to say was at one of the two companies and was related either peripherally or intimately in the transaction from start to finish), every single one of them had some executive shuffling (aka separating) prior to the close.

Clearly, it is biased to Silicon Valley and my experience is probably different than someone who worked in non-tech companies, but if I put it into a rule of sorts I'd say; During a fund raising round executive positions are the most secure and individual contributors the least, during an acquisition these are reversed.
Not sure what you mean? It's already serving my use case isn't it?
Same as in the US: MFJ gets to claim up to $83,350 of long-term capital gains without any tax.
The article has a title that is concise and makes a big claim, but it is not clear what the issue is.

I could spend more time to read the article fully, but it seems intentional that the article is not so readable. And we know by now that most ecosystems are facing significant pressure, so this article feels like just another clickbait.
The second option. I simply didn't notify anyone and so far no one asked about it. Maybe because the money came from Binance (crypto) they simply didn't bother or something.
I agree, and Elon seems to know - he closed Tesla's PR department a while back to (re)gain full message control.

That's a pretty big deal though, since businesses usually run on marketing, and not on raw engineering prowess. Without great marketing, you can't even attract great engineers.

Some people argue that the Nazis were as successful as they were due to propaganda (my final thesis at school was about Goebbels) - a sibling of marketing. Marketing rules the world.

powering desalination with nuclear is incredibly dumb. If you have massive desalination infrastructure, it makes way more sense to power it with renewables since they are 5x cheaper, and you can use desalination as a battery (run it when the sun is out/there is wind).
>limiting human population

The choice of reproduction is generally considered a human right. The U.N. has adopted the following verbiage within their humans rights:

>"couples have a basic human right to decide freely and responsibly on the number and spacing of their children"[1]

Unless, of course, you are simply saying people should choose at the individual level to limit their children.

Well it's also that WW2 was the last time the US fought a peer adversary so we don't have current data on what the ratios look like and I think technology is going to further compound the idea of a simple ratio. Man portable antitank and antiair like we're seeing in Ukraine make it harder to press air or armor superiority.
> People aren't making music on ASIO-capable sound cards,

sorry what :) I don't know anyone who does a bit of remotely serious music making who doesn't have at least some USB focusrite or something like that

> On any modern OS, you don't write directly to the sound card, you write to a buffer which the system mixer does the FX graph on, then that goes to the underlying sound system. CoreAudio, WASAPI and PipeWire are all built like this.

Paul Davis is the author of JACK and Ardour fyi, I think they have a good idea of how things work :p buffers are unavoidable but I don't see webaudio allowing me to use a 64 frames buffer size and still be able to put in some effects and play with some softsynths like I have right now, or even being able to run isolcpu and tweak DMAs to entirely devote specific CPU cores to audio processing.
His timelines are of the kond you get from clueless founders overpromising revolutionary products. It works, he gets all the funding he needs.
Data alone is not enough. Or, you should have lots of it, and use and weigh it properly.

Temperature, humidity, winds, sunlight, duration and intensity of rain, clouds... The list goes on and on.

And what about pollution? Milan is one of the most polluted cities in Europe, and people wouldn't guess it. You could have nice weather, be outside, and not enjoy breathing (Milan is still ok, there are much worse places like New Delhi).
Not really surprised about that. Switzerland, Luxembourg - they're well known as attractive tax regimes. The surprising aspect is that there's so many options in the middle. Even in the EU, every country has a unique combination of tax features, and knowledge about one or two of them doesn't translate. Portugal is unlike Italy is unlike France is unlike Germany is unlike Sweden is unlike Finland.

My humble opinion is that some of this should be harmonized on the EU level. There's no reason to leave so many tax loopholes for those able to exploit them, other than each country's wealthy lobbying to maintain their own peculiar benefits.
>"There are many reasons not to live in Dublin (poor housing quality / price, high cost of living, poor public transport, crime, etc)"

I was kind of surprised to see poor public transport on your list as it's a major European city. Is this true of the whole city or just certain parts?

Parsing and transforming text conforming to a rather simple grammar, for example output of typical command line tools, seems the best use case.

Practical, non-Hello World examples (challenge: approximating traditional Unix text tools like wc, sort, rev, cut, sed) would be nice.
While I don't disagree with you, there must be _some_ level of 'right place and time' involved with anyone who holds superlative accolades. Same can be said for the converse.
Ukraine was pretty pathetic back when Russia took Crimea. It probably would have been an easy sweep of kyiv and others at the time with those forces.

Russia didn’t pay attention and Ukraine spent the last decade getting extremely prepared for exactly this.

Once he has donated it to the foundation, it is no longer fully under his control. It is a charitable organization, and subject to many laws about how the money is spent.

So it's never included in any measure of his total wealth.

Thanks; but that's confusing.

If "doppler boost" is regions that are moving towards us, then they presumably aren't swirling around the BH at near-light speed?

Is the ring of light the accretion disk or not? If it is the accretion disk, why is some of it moving towards us?

And why does it seem that the ring of light is oriented perpendicular to our line-of-sight? Is that really coincidence? Don't most accretion disks rotate on roughly the axis of the host galaxy's rotation? If we're looking directly at one of the poles of the BH, shouldn't we see some sort of beam pointing right at us?
Well...the fact plantations were more viable due to soil conditions, does that by itself mean the slaves were treated worse? Could be, could be.

Plus I believe rural blacks in the South just want to work good land, which by this point they often own. It's an agricultural area, the most people live on the best land. And further, the weather is more similar to Africa, hotter sunnier more humid. Subtropical. And then plus they're segregating of their own accord, they like each other they go to the same churches they share recipes for soul and Creole food, cook that pig good, share the crops. Sing together. Elect black representatives to go to Washington for them, being in a majority, that's another thing. Electing black Senators, that changes the game. And for that they need to be together in one place.

Oh it's got nothing to do with what it started as, and everything to do with what it is today.

Satoshi didn't mention:

- Substantially everyone never making on-chain transactions and instead using centralized, trusted, censorable, KYC-required custodial exchanges to speculate on the price of cryptos. Where they're not even segregated in the event of exchange insolvency.

- Have BNY Mellon and Fidelity custody your coins.

- Run your crypto transactions using a Visa debit card.

- The biggest players in the space being Cumberland/DRW, Alameda and Jump Crypto.

- Have transaction fees as high as $60 - $250+ if you factor in block reward.

- 100X leverage trading at off-shore bucket shops denominated in synthetic dollar derivatives that simply evaporate if you look at them sideways.

- [edit] using a country worth of power to guess random numbers by machines that will 97% of the time never guess a single random number right in their entire productive lives.

Wall Street owns crypto, and Satoshi would be horrified.

Satoshi envisioned a "Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" - not a store of value, not digital gold, not a wild number-go-up-machine.

Today's thought leadership has different goals.

Somewhere like Dubai can have pleasant weather for 7 months, 99% of the time. And very bad weather for 4 months, 95% of the time.

Where I live might have objectionable weather on 70% of the days, but they are more spread out and not as extreme, and the plants can tolerate it. Dubai would still win on "number of pleasant days".
Kyro started as custom but flopped in the Snapdragon 820 so they moved to a "semi-custom" design, it's unclear how different it really is from the stock Cortex designs.
iirc Chrome sometimes handles stack-overflows and/or out of memory conditions badly. If you have any function there that is called try making an entry/exit counter and log/throw if it goes above some threshold.
So... a generator, an electric motor, few microcontrollers, bunch of sensors, a battery with it's own management circuits, wires, a bunch of code running on everything... is supposed to be "less complicated" than a chain and two (sometimes more) sprockets? Or did I misunderstand the press release?
> My understanding is that packages are not sandboxed, but your entire Deno process is. Meaning that if one part of my app requires full read/write access then any package included in my app also gets it. Is that correct?

Yes. There has been a discussion on per dependency permissions several times but the conclusions is that it would be difficult to implement and get right semantically. See https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/171
The elephant in the room is that limiting population means limiting freedom and curtailing human rights. However I also think it's an acceptable trade off but not one to be made lightly.

We do have declining populations in Northern Europe but honestly I'm not sure how much of the world can really emulate the likes of Norway.
Electric scooters are already allowed (unfortunately for cyclists...), why would adding a charge-crank change that?

I'd be more concerned about how a drive system like that would subtly fail to tickle the endorphine feedback loops the way a bike does. I don't think you'd notice on a conscious level, chances are you might even think you enjoy getting button-press acceleration from the battery buffer, but riding a bike has an immediacy that is close to the walking/running evolution has wired us for. I doubt that an e-scooter fueled by an ergometer generator would come anywhere close. I'm somewhat involved with a cycling vacation business and the way a day of being exposed to those feedback loops makes everybody involved happy that business feels almost like cheating. I really doubt that "ergometer driven e-scooter" could ever come anywhere close to that. But, well, Schaeffler isn't aiming at recreational cycling at all, just at the last mile delivery industry. I could not even guess wether it would make those jobs even more miserable or not.
It's interesting that people are using this moment to fault Elon, when it's one of his finest moments. Making an 'offer' on what you believe to be good faith. Hidden in your pocket, you know the other party is acting in bad faith. (Twitter says 5% of the DAU is bots) Elon calls them out on that ridiculously low number, says the deal is on hold until this fraud is verified.

Obviously the bots on twitter account for more than 5%, and will be at the detriment of the biggest KPI that twitter touts. He's given them a taste of what will happen if they walk away from the deal by 'putting it on hold' and watching the stock lose 10% in precisely the same day as a general market recovery.

He now has the ability to renegotiate below his 'best and final offer'.
San Diego is the gold standard for nice weather in California (and most of the planet), it is significantly better than the San Francisco area. I've lived in both and it isn't particularly close.
Large amounts of people moving from California move to ... Arizona which doesn't really help the water issue much.

But the AECOM guy wasn't wrong - the amount of "investment" even in a smaller town is insane - the LA basin is worth something like 2.3 trillion in land value alone. That kind of pricing can justify absolutely massive projects.

For those looking to move from California, I would suggest considering other factors such as sustainability come into play - Texas and Arizona aren't the only possible destinations.

Though I doubt we can solve California's water problems by all buying Wisconsin Cheese whilst living in Minneapolis.
None of that matters, because Elon can’t claim to be mislead by a figure that didn’t exist when he made his offer. Whatever he expected it to be has nothing to do with twitter saying it is 5% in May.
California produces 13% of the U.S.'s agriculture and produces 99% of the following: almonds, olives, peaches, artichokes, dates, pomegranates, raisins, sweet rice, pistachios, plums and walnuts. [0]

Only reason the figure is 2% is because California's economy is so large, seems misleading?

Perhaps greed is a factor in non-enforcement, but I suspect in LA it's more of a "overly humanitarian" subculture. See Echo Park protests. bodies were turning up in that park, and it was unusable for local residents due to a massive encampment and rampant drug use. When the police showed up to clear it, they met actual protestors from outside the neighborhood who thought it was inhumane to force the campers to move on.

I lived in Studio City for a bit. We had a well-known vagrant who lived under a local bridge who regularly accosted women, including assault, groping, etc. The nice walking paths along the LA river, and the immediate neighborhood around them were completely unsafe even during daylight hours for my wife and daughters to walk along. What could be done?

I lived in mount washington for a bit. There, the citizens would quietly organize, bring lots of shovels, and go "clean up" even the smallest encampments. I suspect if that word got out, they'd meet protestors, or even police.

I'm all for helping those who need and want it.

The trouble is, there's a significant enough population that doesn't want help, and wants to camp and live among drug use wherever they choose. This is the only case where "Not in my backyard" makes absolute sense. Police can and should protect the safety of neighborhoods and parks which are funded and occupied by tax payers.

Go to venice. It looks like a third world country. Last time I went to the beach, none of the shops were open and obviously-mentally-ill people were sitting in their own filth on residential and commercial doorsteps. One obviously intoxicated person was holding a can of gasoline on the sidewalk, and swaying between cars he didn't own. What good can come of this? The rights of the people in that area need to be balanced against each other through the use of local laws and law enforcement. We've gone way too far past "balanced" towards an ideologically-forced tolerance of vagrancy.

It is not the job of the average citizen to come up with solutions, it is normal and fine for citizens to collectively demand change from their government and to weigh the outcomes during the next election cycle. My own lack of ingenious ideas for it does not mean I need to be silent and tolerate the solution.
