Anything I buy packaged is sad compared to fresh, home-made tempeh. I'd start looking at "alternative" grocers that also have fresh seitan.
All true, and impressive considering that we recently evolved from tree dwelling primates but... There are plenty of animals adapted to heat, and can perform similar feats.

African wild dogs, dingos and other canines can persistent hunt in similar hot conditions. They're much faster than us, so it's not as extreme a strategy as human "track and spook" methods... but arguably better.

Elephants manage to carry those huge, heat retaining bodies. Our Savannah nurseries are full of megafauna like us that live in these conditions effectively.

That's what all scams look like.
How is this any different than something like GRIN? I'm not involved in either community, but at least superficially they certainly look similar.
The fear of billions of people dying directly from global warming is overblown and sensationalized in the media.
while it may be smart from a securities/legal/tax persepctive it also dooms bitcoin to be a useless coin. Transaction speeds abysmal and the energy usage is absurd. These could never be changed
I consulted at Apple for a while, and many people there preferred to use PowerPoint. I was given permission to work with PowerPoint to prevent issues when working with other teams and vendors who did not have keynote.

In her book SPQR, the historian Mary Beard emphasizes that the Roman Empire was unable to conquer anything. The Roman Republic conquered the Mediterranean world, and then the Roman Empire failed at everything:

https://www.amazon.com/Spqr-History-Ancient-Mary-Beard/dp/18...

The only major, lasting conquest made by the Roman Empire was the conquest of Britain, under the Emperor Claudius. But for the most part, from the moment it was created, the Roman Empire was in a defensive crouch, trying to defend what the Roman Republic had built. The Republic had a culture that very much treated war as a glorious thing, and mobilized the public for total war, over and over again. The Roman Empire was very different, fighting became professionalized, and it became defensive.
> nuclear waste

I think this is the most over-hyped point. I used to think this was a big issue, but we're talking a swimming pool of spicy rocks for an entire nation.
I hate to burst their bubble, but it's unclear how they intend to keep their bubbles from bursting prematurely. They could easily be popped by space debris, or solar flares, or projectiles launched by a rogue state, or just because that's what bubbles do.
What was surprising is that the mice didn’t end up evolving some traits and instincts optimized for the new conditions. I would’ve thought they would learn new behavior after a few generations to thrive in the new environment. This makes me think that a post scarcity environment may not be enough to ensure the survival of a species
At my FAANG job, we happily hired CogSci PhD’s, and I also worked with multiple political science PhDs who’d left or turned down postdocs. I’m unsure about any of the Econ PhDs that I worked with, but I strongly suspect you’re right as it did seem like they were drowning in job options relative to others (conditional on getting a FAANG job in the first place, I suppose).
My prediction is that this is terrifying nightmare fuel that is going to save the father some money when Scarlet & Violet come out.

"Flat" is not the solution but there's definitely room to rethink hierarchy. It's possibly less about the 'structure' and more about the power dynamics that can go unquestioned.

A hierarchy based on clear definition of roles where people playing these roles are matched in skills and level of commitment makes sense.

Hierarchies become toxic when people who have more high-commitment roles start using power to dominate and entrench their power. Usually this results in a cascading effect where people with skills can't fully manifest them because they are needing to defend their position rather than contributing from a place of empowerment.

A hierarchy can be power-with vs. power-over if it has ways to limit dominance and to encourage evidence-based decision-making and more autonomy within the system. In other words, structure to avoid making individual personalities or identities the driver of influence and power but instead develop role-based structures with clear. responsibilities and boundaries.

Maybe it's more of a holarchy model at that point, where the goal is for each part of the organization to be important, and to fully contribute no matter what their role is, which doesn't mean everyone has the same level of commitment or decision-influence.
While pre-modern battlefields were certainly horrific, I wonder which is more terrifying:

1) Hand-to-hand combat where your fate is decided within a few seconds but you have some control over the situation.

2) Sitting in cover while artillery shells rain down randomly around you.
If you were in a battlefield that was not terrifying, you were not in a battlefield.
Congress won't take action unless rich people start losing money.
> this is in contrast to the US federal government

I strongly doubt that. The US federal government doesn't run all police forces in the US, or all the environmental agencies, or all the driving-license agencies or whatever. It runs some elements directly - as few as they can get away with, and shrinking.
Sure but not billions of people dying from global warming or increase in surface temperature.

I’d claim that tax misrepresentation would likely lead to some jail time, particularly for those that don’t have the funds for legal representation. As far as I can tell, the prevailing point of Bitcoin is to make capital gains.
The idea that Bitcoin has no leaders is a big lie that these regulators should be able to see through. You can take look at any of the well-known whales to see obvious evidence against that claim. They make the claim because it allows them to maintain plausible deniability while manipulating the market as much as they possibly can. I wouldn't trust anyone in finance who says they're not doing managerial work and direction; that work is required to make the stated goals work. It's about as big a red flag as when recruiters say "our company has no bosses and no management". It might fool some naive people, but those who are observant can see who's really in charge.
Okay. Why should the Linux community care about this? It is not a business trying to sell something to as many people as possible. It’s a diverse set of people and companies each working on whatever is important to them.

If consumers want consumer-level support, they can buy a Mac. What’s the problem?
True, but I absolutely hate having to ask my network anything. I'd gladly help them, but I despise having to advertise what's going on in my life.
I hate Apple for lots of things. But they have done exceptional work with M1/M2. Imagine that power efficiency on servers. Saving so much energy.
Contrast that with civil asset forfeiture ,which still seems to be the law(lesness) of the land...
> This is why they are being careful to say only Bitcoin isn't a security now. That speech in 2018, centerpiece of the lawsuit, said Ethereum also was not a security. If that speech is found a legally binding statement, it's really hard to find anything smart-contract-powered from Ethereum to XRP as a security.

That seems like a leap. Paper is a commodity, but a stock certificate is (or represents, whatever) a security. A contract may be written on paper, but create a security. A database isn't a security but an entry in the right database, in the right place, might be. It seems to me all it would do is keep smart contracts from being securities simply because they use Ethereum—if they are, or create, securities, I see no reason why those would be any harder to regulate than any others.
FWIW, Tesla is one of the few companies that actually put decent processors in their cars: in lieu of a cruddy, off-the-shelf ARM CPU, they use Intel (and more recently, Ryzen) x86-based machines. Their performance relative to the Cortex processors running in competitors is enormous, it must be slow due to the volume of processes Tesla is actually running onboard.

As someone who has worked with dying languages, that is wrong. There are always blog posts about dying languages too.
It's also probably why that incorrect image exists: projecting such an image would have been absolutely vital for morale, and those stories influence the stories we tell today. In many ways, it's still vital for morale today, but it would have mattered a lot more when morale was as decisive as it was then.
More than 25 years in, so I would say no. What problems do you see with the suggestion, or what could be done to improve it?
I think it would fall under capital gains either way, so shouldn't matter much. Not a tax lawyer though.
Can you provide any estimates on when the crypto world will start building things for regular folks that aren't just new ways to speculate on assets? Because, quite frankly, this is exactly what I've been hearing for the last decade.

Because right now the web3 ecosystem seems to cut directly against the ethos of "build stuff that solves a problem for your users". It seems like it's becoming increasingly insular for who its solving problems for - namely other people building things in the web3 space.

Like imagine its the 1980s and the industry decided it was stupid to build a home computer because we didn't have X Y or Z built yet so these machines are for computer enthusiasts, scientists, and researchers ONLY.
Being "more knowledgable" isn't one dimensional, and manager doesn't know most about everything. Actually, probably everyone in the workplace knows the most about some subject-matter, niche or not.
> It is not a federation, like the US

That very much depends on your definition of "federation". I can assure you that many people see the EU as being exactly that, just in its infancy.
I have no idea to be honest but I think it relates to the idea of representing the computation in a reasonably comprehendable way.

Either that or networks that can solve specific problems on graph structures by more or less general and hence reusable methods. Which could go ways towards the former point, I guess, but that's also dealt eith elsewhere. Just give g-scholar a search and see
Mmm... maybe I'm mistaken. Thanks for the opportunity to reflect a bit more about this. I was remembering this video [0] which talks about Graph Embeddings. In the video, the speaker talks specifically about node classification. Assuming the classes are target functions, this could potentially be used for speculative devirtualization.

Definitely not an expert, just excited to have more tools on which to work with graph data!

Methinks a key difference in "terror level" is that in close combat, you see the enemy and their deadly possibly bloodied weapons up close. Much more psychologically present. Ranged weapons give a different overall stress of "I could suddenly die without warning", but you're not facing your death as clearly.

One of the problems was that most companies where developing OS/2 version of their apps, as Microsoft had promised that was the future, while Microsoft was building Windows apps. By the time they realized their mistake, it was already too late.
I don't think either of those adjustment would occur.

I know my highschool didn't have AC, so the summer break needed to happen in the summer. I expect the school year would continue to follow the seasons (unless, maybe, we had really cheap AC?). It would be strange to have the school year start in different months, but you'd get used to it. I know I already need to look up when the school year starts; it shifts a little already due to holidays and the days of the week.

Personally, I grew up with cold winters and liked Christmas as a snowy winter holiday. But when I moved and had warmer winters and less defined seasons, Christmas came and it didn't really feel like winter. A summer Christmas wouldn't be noticeably different here.

I like the idea of a major winter holiday for anyone struggling through a cold winter. For many people, that's currently Christmas, and I suspect the US and similar climates would benefit from keeping it seasonal.
The pile of bodies in that battle is completely unrealistic. About the only thing that was realistic was the shield wall. But then the writers left a huge plot hole because the good guys had a giant that could have just broken the lines.
I am (among other things) a programmer, I absolutely do not management to have yet another string to pull me by, routinely adjusting my pay according to whatever social-engineering game they choose to decide "productivity" by.

Plus, for some of my work - it might seem even to a "fair" lay-person that I'm doing practically nothing except wasting my time for a year, then do a year's work in a couple of weeks. At other times, my contribution might be _preventing_ the introduction of poorly-designed or faulty code; so, in a sense, negative productivity...
I also think it's unlikely, but California did at one point revoke a tax exemption and applied that decision retroactively, expecting interest on unpaid taxes that the law at the time said you didn't owe. As I recall, this wasn't considered ex-post-facto simply because being fined for under paying taxes isn't the same thing as convicting someone as a crime, so the rule of law doesn't have to work the same way. You can take any constitutional protection and someone will come up with an argument in their head for why it doesn't apply to things they don't like.
Unregulated selling of securities has been a crime for a very long time. There are no ex-post issues at work here.

It's annoying that my state(Colorado) government actually did something about it, but they decided it would be a $100 fine, but first the government will ask you nicely to "fix" your truck(as if anything is broken, vs intentionally modified) first.
I'm not sure I understand your statement that tracking solar panels aren't viable. The vast majority of utility scale solar PV installations in the United States use single axis tracking systems. These orient the modules on a north south axis, which then tilts from east to west throughout the day. Energy capture over an equivalent optimized fixed-tilt system is significant. The land area required is larger, however.

Most smaller or behind the meter systems such as carports or rooftop mount solar use fixed tilt, and fixed tilt is also used in certain types of terrain or where costs for tracking are prohibitive.
There is a theory that precisely this is why Putin decided to try and take over Ukraine with most of the troops coming from piss poor regions of Russia. For Putin, it likely still is a win-win scenario: the fallen soldiers won't protest in their home regions and demand reforms, their families will worship them as heroes and even if the war fails in the end and only Crimea and Donbas get under Russian control [1], it will still have been worth the effort.

[1] Note that I wish for Russia to be completely driven out of Ukraine and to be treated as a warmonger like Germany was after 1945, this is unfortunately not realistic.

The dude in charge looks absolutely ridiculous -- but this is why I'm very interested in Richard Heart and his Hex / Pulse stuff.

If you "game theory" him out, I believe he adds up to being in crypto for idealistic reasons as well, despite the appearance of the methods he's using to get there.
My theory is that this is already happening, just with a mix of bots and human actors.

Start keeping a list of common "retorts" to certain topics. Then jump sites and see if those retorts are used there too. You'll find almost copy and paste wording.

There are edge cases where it looks like two of these semi-automated groups square off and you get bot gibberish that goes on to infinity.

Dead internet theory may be a bit closer to truth then we like to admit.
You're describing a company/owner's association/some other similar entity which already exists in your legal system. You can already implement the rotating council and an insurance fund without a blockchain. The only thing the blockchain does is prevent you from fixing problems if you made mistakes at some point in the past and had bugs. And it costs you more.

Wow, this is a biggie. I want to address the last part of your question - " How do I keep him engaged on the things that he needs to work on, and celebrate his successes in the things that are easy?"

I would actually encourage you to focus your praise on the times he challenges himself past his comfort level, rather than praising him on the things that come easily to him. When you praise a child for grit - working hard - being creative - being resilient, you're fostering a growth mindset, because you're praising him for things he has control over, his efforts, rather than his character or talent which he has no control over. I'm not a stickler about this - I think it's fine to occasionally say, you're so smart! or wow your hair is pretty! But in general, you are going to help his self-esteem and his autonomy in the world by praising hard work more than achievements.

Angela Duckworth has a wonderful book on Grit
And Carol Dweck has great writing about Growth Mindset

I'm glad you're not concerned about his development and you shouldn't be. By the way, Understood.org has great guides to developmental milestones for every grade and age group. https://www.understood.org/en/articles/developmental-milesto...

Almost every child I know has strengths in some areas and weaknesses in others. This is more pronounced, obviously in kids that are twice-exceptional and neurodivergent. I was even readinga about something called the Einstein Syndrome where brilliant kids experience late language emergence. https://www.healthline.com/health/einstein-syndrome#:~:text=....

In one of my opinions one of the biggest problems with traditional school is that all kids are expected to learn at the same rate at the same time in a group setting. This is completely unrealistic as every kid in that classroom is going to speed up and slow down and different points in their learning - and the likelihood of that happening for every kid at the same time is close to none.

it's also unrealistic to expect each child to be perfectly well balanced. Don't we need thinkers who are really strong in one area and not in all?

This is why mastery learning is so impactful. Kids who learn at their own pace are of course going to learn faster. During Covid, I saw multiple kids go through the entire K-6th grade curriculum in 6 months using apps and working 1-1 tutors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastery_learning

You may also want to check out Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory which really celebrates all the wonderful different intelligences kids bring to the world.

And keep praising the hard work and creative work!
They could veto all laws that don't change this. So to me it as democratic as Democratically elected representatives want it to be.
