> Growth doesn't mean more materials or natural resources necessarily

The growth talked about in the board rooms is exactly that. More output of commercial goods, more sell, need more people buying these even if it's unnecessary for better life, popup more kids increase population so that sells will always increase, create more wealth for the already billionaires while keeping the minimum wage lowest possible, consume, consume more and more. Anything less than that is a disaster.

None of the growth ever talkes about the ecological collapse it's creating, never will. It's about quarterly report even if it complete destroys the future of all in next decade.
I sell the only "generic" version of an item that is both costly in money and time to obtain.

Imagine you had a bunch of arcade machines with a proprietary button to turn each on. You can buy the button, but the manufacturer requires their service people physically install and bind it your arcade. Most operators want multiple buttons cause they always break, but they also don't want to deal with downtime during replacement.

I sell the button for 1/3 of the cost with modifications allowing anyone to install it.

This is great. Do you have more examples (of self interest-driven neologisms) at hand?
That's an interesting point. I'm not sure how much genetic overlap we have with whales, but I suspect it's significant. I wonder what allows them to live so long without getting cancer, for example. I can see why they wouldn't get cardiovascular diseases (in humans this seems to be mostly induced by diet and sedentary lifestyle), but it seems likely that there's more to it.
I had this same problem so I made an app that allows me to use Instagram without using the Instagram app. It also blocks ads + suggest posts, removes all tracking, removes read receipts in DMs and when viewing stories, and also allows me to create custom feeds like Twitter lists.

Turns out a lot of people had this problem, so I made it into a company.

> you might white-label your services in partnership with another company who will need to use your APIs,

As soon as you have a third party using your API things get another layer of conplexity: do you charge them? Do you rate limit them? if you have several partners, how do you authenticate them? etc.

API gateway solve some of that, and sometimes you dont care, but generally its not as sinple as goving your internal API to people and telling them to go wild

This is a classic merger arbitrage spread.

It doesn’t need to be simultaneous, just be very low risk. Usually simultaneous execution is a factor in having low risk though, but some deals take longer.

An example is Bill Gates buying DOS from SCP. The deal making wasn’t instant but he still bought it for a certain profit as he had the contract with IBM.
I find it slightly funny that we go to such great lengths to encode noise, only for smart TVs to filter it out again with their noise reduction algorithms (at least you can turn it off, on most models).

It's alarmist nonsense like this that I expect to find on Reddit.
I suspect you would avoid things that could be automatized, and rather focus on something that has relatively high margins due to either customization/personal touch or fit & finish reasons. It probably helps if the overall market isn't massive too, just plenty big enough for a small team.

e.g. find a sport or hobby that requires tools/components that can be manufactured in your 2-car/2 person setting. Then give them customization or very high quality. CNC is basically commodity now, as are 3D prints - you need something outside that box I think, or at least have it only be a component of what you are doing.
We've already seen what happens when Republicans encounter the uncomfortable reality of the laws they are passing, in the case of the 10-year old Ohio girl. First they claimed it didn't happen, then they attacked the doctor, then they deflected to the issue of immigration claiming that was the real problem. This is all true to form.

Ectopic pregnancies are not a problem for Republicans because they are not the ones dying from those pregnancies. They don't care about the electoral ramifications because they maintain impenetrable strongholds in the states where these laws are being passed. It's not that they are passing the laws and will find out the consequences; they know the consequences (they're not dumb) and feel safe passing the laws regardless.

God set up the conditions under which the Universe operates. Omniscience means that He was well aware of what would result, up to and including human beings.

Yeah, he's a consummate self-promoter and exaggerator I was at Mongo at the same time. He worked on the drupal website which was a godawful mess. Then there was the Drivers team. He spent 3 years there, was absent most of the time working on Hugo while employed at Mongo. Mongo probably owns most of the IP for it. I am not sure what he did at Docker but he'd like you to believe the 10 months he spent there was pivotal to docker adoption, nevermind the fact it was already on fire.
Yep, you start off buying obscure soils and obsessing about ph levels and light and moisture and years later I use the cheapest 4-4-4 fertilizer I can find and water when I stick my finger in and it’s dry.

I get better product now than I used to. Mostly it’s about genetics anyway.

The number one bit of advice I give to new gardeners (my garden is pretty well developed) is ‘less is more’. Basically leave the plant alone as much as you can. Water deeply instead of frequently and use many seeds to start with whittling down to the best genetics.

For example for my 5 pumpkin plants I planted around 50 seeds from last year. Waited a couple weeks and then pulled the smaller plants. Do the same again a couple weeks later. Then when transplanting cull once more. Plant three in every hole. Two weeks later cull until there’s one plant in each spot.

Then for advanced mode you use the seeds from this selection process next year, and they get more and more adapted to your micro climate.

If you have (or are willing to buy) a compatible phone, GrapheneOS is as good as it gets in my experience -- pushes the envelope of usability and security more than any other mobile device OS yet. The sandboxed Google services compatibility layer (using device profiles) lets you have your privacy cake and eat proprietary apps when you need them, too.
Your last message:

Your previous message:

> [Amendments] have to pass Congress and the Senate

Which would be a contradiction given the existence of the 14th Amendment.

So it seems like you're able to use 'pass' in the general sense of formally approve/propose/support when it's a reasonable shorthand. Me too.
OpenAI published an article about some of the things people are using DALL-E for:

https://openai.com/blog/dall-e-2-extending-creativity/

I thought this quote was particularly insightful:

> “Conceptualizing one’s ideas is one of the most gatekept processes in the modern world,” Kamp says. “Everyone has ideas — not everyone has access to training or encouragement enough to confidently render them. I feel empowered by the ability to creatively iterate on a feeling or idea, and I deeply believe that all people deserve that sense of empowerment.”

Images of astronauts on horses may have questionable commercial use or artistic merit, but DALL-E excels at concept art. The true value here isn’t using those images directly, it’s using them to brainstorm and test out creative ideas that can later be turned into something real (a product, a movie, art, etc.) by a human.
I think the parent comment was referring to the fact that the predators could find out where the children they're playing with live, not that they could find children in general. As far as I know, the census forms don't include a "Minecraft player" checkbox.
In my experience, it's not true that both state and private players require the same amount of OpEx to run a concern. Usually state run organisations run projects at costs well in excess of what is actually required. Therefore, it is possible to privatize, realize a profit, and lower prices.

I was tangentially involved with the privatization of a copper mine in South America. Within just a few years of it being sold off to private buyers, it was consistently profitable for the first time, extraction was up ~350%, and costs were down 40%. This was the Cerro Verde mine in Peru.

There are certain phrases that just saying them as a matter of fact will always risk sounding self aggrandizing.

"I work for Google" has become one. "I'm a Googler" just has me pivot and walk away.

Another infamous one, "I work at the White House."
Is America not already there? Living in the southeast I literally see people in Home Depot buying garden tools wearing Proud Boys shirts. Every week brings a new mass shooting, several states equate the abortion of a 10-year-old rape victim with homicide, and the Texas GOP is now officially trying to abolish the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Yet America is one of the most rabidly pro-growth nations in the world.

Elon Musk is a billionaire, who cares about his opinion on anything but making money? There are academic fields full of people who investigate the myriad problems of American (and, more generally, capitalist) societies. To ignore them all simply because you think entrepreneurs are “punk rock” is entirely unscientific. Of course Elon wants growth, his entire life is dedicated to it and he serves to gain the most if it occurs, regardless of its consequences for everyone else.
One of the questions is, "If Elon doesn't buy Twitter, what will the share price be?" If you think embarrassing info is likely, then you could answer with a lower price there. You can also factor whatever odds of him doing well at trial into your answer to other questions.

The formula itself doesn't require a direct answer to your question.
You are speaking about cognitive empathy (the ability to sense other's emotions), while the "common usage" you are describing is known as affective empathy (the ability to share or respond emotionally to emotions in others). Same word, two different concepts.

It is a sad kind of funny, watching people realize what happened.

I saw someone I know ranting elsewhere recently about how "nobody saw this coming" and "nobody warned us". I called him out on this, because I vividly remembered a conversation with him when he was telling me what a paranoid weirdo I was, and how self-important I was being, to assume anyone cared enough about what I had to say.

He claimed to not remember it. I found the email thread, mostly to make sure I wasn't wrong, but chose to stop responding instead.
What I'm trying to say is that there should be significant pressure on companies like Apple and Google to take their successful and user friendly platforms and open them up so we can implement the functions we want without opting to replace the whole thing (rooted or jailbroken) ROMs.

> you'll find huge swaths of the voting population that agree with what's going on

Did those huge swaths of the voting population that agree existed before the issue became political, or did they spring up after?

To see what I mean, look at abortion. Anti-abortion stance was not common for evangelicals until 1980s; if anything, most of them saw it as some kind of crypto-Catholicism. The rapid swing in public opinion was manufactured. It doesn't make those voters any less real, of course - but the point is that those votes don't guide policy in this model, they're merely a stick to beat your opponents with.

That's one of the reasons I build lenns.io. An alternative RSS reader. I gives you some additional vectors of control. For example, you can limit the number of items per source to show on your feed, as well as assign priorities to both sources and categories. Combined - it gives you a calm feed following all the sources your are interested in.

I'd be more than happy if you give it a go and share how it seems.
How do you short "Elon Musk" stock? You can only short companies the acquirer owns, not the acquirer himself, so this does not count as "merger arbitrage" under the definition you linked.
Hello, fellow Midwesterner! I apologize for the tone; these conversations often frustrate me, but I shouldn't have been rude. I want to lead with saying my thoughts here aren't meant to minimize racism; I believe that getting into the weeds on the details is necessary to come up with solutions that help people. (For example, a fair portion of my concern re: class is making sure that working class and poor POC don't just get a palette swap of their oppressors and have it heralded as progress).

I don't think racists in general are less racist to African/Caribbean immigrants, I think that the racism would be expressed differently. My point is that if you're a racist, you don't bomb things unless you're very sure you're going to get away with it, and upper-class immigrants are more likely (in general) to be well-connected and have the resources to fight back. Since overt racism is riskier, there are more microaggressions, 'I can't prove this is because I was Black but we all know, don't we?' type situations, etc.

You mentioned Flint's water crisis as being solely due to 'explicit public policies'; my point was by the time Flint started its decline that the racism had moved to being pushed through IMPLICIT means and by private companies. It matters because the mechanisms behind how racism acts determine where and how we should try to intervene.

Class enters the Flint situation in particular because:

- The entire city is poor as hell. Like REALLY poor. Like makes Cleveland look like it's doing well poor. It was routine for cars to die in the middle of the road and be left there because people couldn't afford to move them. Unfortunately, this means that homes are neglected and the city has no money. Which made the whole 'replacing or coating the pipes' question a clusterfuck, because in half the houses the pipes weren't in great shape to begin with, which makes it even more expensive to fix. The limbo of the city going so long without safe water was directly related to 'who should pay for it?' and if the residents or city had funds, it wouldn't have been such an issue.

- Some of the failure to address the situation came from false promises and utter failure on the part of the well off, including POC. Obama's visit and promises amounting to nothing, donations and invitations from celebrities not coming through, a ton of people involved in the cover up (especially in local government) were Black...etc. Hard to say it's 100% racism when the people hanging you out to dry are also Black.

I don't think there is such a thing as a Median National Racist, because racial history and relations vary so much throughout the country. Not that I'm making any claim about BETTER or WORSE: Just that the racism is different and I don't think there is a descriptive median.

Might be in a decade or so though, as the media defines one for us.
This doesn't seem particularly closely related to the discussion. The meaning of "podcast" hasn't changed. Instead, the question is "why bother distinguishing podcasts from other mp3 files that you also download off the internet?". If someone records an album and puts it up for sale online, how is that not a "podcast"?
>Funny thing is, they started the surveillance in late-2001 to suck all the records up.

It started long, long before 2001. Here is a 2000 press release from the ACLU about global surveillance done by Echelon, which had already been ongoing for years (back when the ACLU cared about privacy issues):

https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/privacy-advocates-concer...

By 1999 privacy advocates at already gotten together for an official "jam Echelon day".

>It was the latest in a long line of apparently futile online protest movements. On Thursday October 21 1999, internet users were urged to drop trigger words into their email so as to overwhelm Echelon, the massive surveillance project which is said to keep track of all electronic communications into and out of the USA, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

I think this is contained in the question of what the share price will be if Elon gets away. In fact, the math in this test only rounds to straight-forward if you either have a good idea of what the value of the stock will be if the deal falls through or you think is very unlikely.
>I guess testing on Firefox or Safari is oh just so hard.

I'd be willing to stipulate that the testing isn't hard. It's the fixing of the quirks when they arise that is the hard part.
There is a real use case for this type of technology.

I'm the founder of https://ayvri.com, and we have a 3D virtual world where outdoor athletes watch their activities, and the activities of others.

As the resolution (and speed) of our 3D world improved, people got more interested and engaged with it.

I believe this is the future of video. Not volumetrically created through 20+ cameras, but with a single camera capturing the scene, and AI filling in the blanks based on what it knows.
Or to be a little picky, I think in describing long-run behavior are 3 options:

- diverge to infinity (limitless growth)

- converge to a finite value (perhaps zero)

- oscillate

The accepted dogma today seems to be that we can aim at limitless growth, but that actors like central banks tug at stuff to keep the rate of growth mildly positive most of the time. If one believes we're smart enough to self-regulate to generally growing but dampening our boom/bust cycle, shouldn't we also be able to regulate total consumption to be within some healthy-ish bounds?
That discount would be built into either Elon's buy price or Twitter's nominal price if deal falls through.

Go's stdlib is often given as an example for this, and I personally found it to be useful learning material. I wouldn't advise trying to study it all (it's quite big): just study some pieces of it.
in that case, this is still probably a good feature for you since you can make an encoder that just doesn't re-synthesize noise and you'll get a de-noised picture.
