If you join a group, and suddenly adopt the opinions/beliefs of that group, they may not be honest. The more in-depth/fundamental the opinion or belief is, the higher the suspicion of dishonesty is upon sudden change. Especially if joining the group provides you immediate benefits or it can be shown you tried to derive an immediate benefit through that group ownership.

It is certainly not impossible that one suddenly changed opinions and it had nothing to do with you trying to gain status within a new group (whether irl or social), but most people don't do that.
Or how about Litecoin's creator who worked for Coinbase and lobbied for Litecoin to get added to the exchange?
This is so true. I ran across it a year or so ago when I was doing some complex elisp stuff. Loved it.
I generally disagree with the premise that scientists are becoming less productive. (To me, the complaints that there are no more grand fundamental discoveries is alike to complaining that we are not discovering any new continents on Earth...)

On the subject of incentives in academia - reflecting on my academia run, I've noticed that I was the most creatively productive when I had a longer planning horizon in front of me. It was either at the beginning of a several-years position. Or at the very end when I knew that I'm leaving and didn't care anymore. The least productive was the sequence of one-year postdocs - when I was constantly worrying about the next one.
The thing is, that Android permissions don't really map to user privacy in a way that's useful, and definitely not in a way that makes sense to users; simply listing them is actively misleading.

For example, every app gets INTERNET by default, meaning that lots of privacy-violating things don't have to be declared at all! Other permissions like ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION being required until recently for accessing Bluetooth devices meant that users would think that every BLE app was spying on them. People don't understand the implications of what a permission means for their data / privacy

A developer-written description of exactly what an app is doing with user data and why is much better (with of course the issue that developers can simply lie)

Yes, we also make money via agriculture although often times it's really just contaminating our environment for short-term profits (almond growers in california). We also have a vibrant manufacturing sector, although most of it is in high-end costly items because we can't compete on price for the cheapest items. We also have a huge health sector which is based mainly around rent-seeking rather than quality of care, and its main contribution seems to be causing medical bankruptcies.

Nor did I ever imply these other industries didn't exist. It's just that they aren't our lifeline to viability long-term because many countries could produce the food and physical products we can, but don't have the infrastructure to support high tech companies.

I think Section 10(b) insider trading only applies to trading company-issued securities based on inside knowledge of events related to the company.

You can't "insider trade" FX, for example. Likewise, you cannot "insider trade" crypto.

Regarding Tents the puzzle itself, I know it under a different (arguably much better) formulation, as Heating The Houses.

The story goes that to heat each of the given houses you need to build exactly one gas tank for it. Tank can only heat one house. Tank square and house square need to share a side (and you draw a "pipe" connecting them). Tanks cannot touch other tanks, even diagonally.

And to be honest, the implementation lacks any way to "annotate" the situation in any way. This restricts the player to relatively small and unsatisfying puzzles. I do these on paper only, and I routinely do 35x25 problems, which I could have no hope to keep in my head - the chains of reasoning can span a hundred or more houses. They are published in booklets called "Logi-Mix" (a Polish publication per se, but digestible even if you don't know the language).

It's hard to draw the boundary. We could say that AI should only be given access to exactly the same information that humans have access to. But AI will have magnitudes more memory and compute resources. So for example, an AI could only have the 2D view but it could store, access and process the 2D view in ways a human cannot.
Further note - traditional Chinese phonology categorizes syllables by their onset and rime. mian is [mjɛn], notionally m- onset and -jɛn rime. yan is [jɛn], notionally zero onset and -jɛn rime. (And analogously for many syllable series involving a glide.)

One distinction that some Chinese speakers fail to make, though, is between the r- onset and what I would prefer to think of as the j- onset. Thus, for these speakers, rang / yang or rou / you are the same sound.

Pinyin ran uses the standard /a/ vowel, but yan does not. I don't know whether, for speakers who don't distinguish r- from y-, a distinction remains in the vowel of ran/yan syllables.

I didn't cite a causative link between wing structure and size. There were plenty of small pterosaurs. I cited a causative link between wing structure and parenting demands. And that is tied to the fact that babies can't fly if their wings don't support it.

I have no idea from which article I ran across the connection between wing structure and juvenile flight. But the idea stuck because I was familiar with heterochrony from having read too much Stephen J. Gould when I was younger. However it is an observable fact that baby bats and birds do not fly, while fossil evidence says that pterosaurs did. The amount of parenting effort that birds require is also well-documented.
I'm not crazy about the image, either. I think it's okay not great.

I was hoping the design agency would take more of a lead in creating a concept that conveyed what the product does, but it mostly fell to me.

"KVM over IP" is a hard concept to represent visually. If you already know what a KVM over IP is, then we can just show you a photo of ours, but if you've never heard of one before, the illustration has to do a lot of work.
Blaming the ineffectiveness of Congress on the "capital-owning class" is a convenient, but lazy way to defect the blame to a place where you can pretend you don't have any control. Did you forget our that the government gave trillions of dollars in stimulus/unemployment during the pandemic?

The problem is that politicians act in ways that are more likely to be elected and voters are shallow. Throwing money at a problem is easy and creates good publicity, so that still gets done. Actual effective regulation is boring, so it's just as effective for politicians to simply grandstand against big tech companies.

Corporations are powerful enough to convince politicians that a proposed bill will cost them votes in the long term, but not much else. For example, Facebook, despite being one of the most heavy lobbying spenders, has spent even more money establishing their content Oversight Board. If they could actually buy politicians, we'd have more regulation that happens to benefit big tech. Both the Republican solution of not allowing social media companies to censor content and the Democratic solution of creating more rules for moderate disinformation are beneficial to Facebook because they can offload some of the responsibility of moderation to the government.

I don't see a substantive criticism here. I agree that the term decentralized is a misnomer, if only because the term is so vague. Democratization is the term I use to describe crypto. The question is whether powerful entities can interfere with the expected behavior of the network against the will of users. I don't see that this is the case. Sure, miners are in a position to ignore transactions, but doing so would require a high level of coordination that doesn't go against the ideal of "democratization". Yes, if everyone is against you, you're screwed either way. But crypto raises the level of coordination required for such an act to the point of implausibility. Besides, if such a coordinated attack against an individual was in progress, we would likely see hashrate reorganize to short-circuit the attack. This is democratization.

I think you are missing the big picture.

Look at all of the oil/gas pumped out of the Earth by the UK (North Sea). Guess what, most of it gets burned.

Measured this way, UK contribution to carbon is even larger than the very nice source you provide.
Why are they being prosecuted? Those are not securities, or are they? "Wire fraud" implies that they defrauded someone by lying to their own advantage over a digital channel. Insider trading is generally legal for non-securities.

EDIT: I am not implying that they shouldn't, on a moral level. They should! I am asking about legal technicalities, and about the state of law around those issues.
The best part of the story is the fervour that supporters defended his decision to dump his bags, because "it was good for the coin" or something.
TL;DR: Sometimes!

So its a little more complex and a little bit more nuanced.

The mechanism is part of the land reform policy and called the ‘Community Right To Buy’.

Ahead of time, a community body (which has a legal definition) can register an interest in buying qualifying land. All of these notes of interest are available from the registers of scotland and has to be renewed regularly/etc.

At the point that a landowner indicates to the land register that a piece of land is to be transferred (which could be due to public sale, or a private sale or direct transfer), the bodies with notes of interest are notified.

This then kicks off a whole process, including an independent market price evaluation, reviewing of land development/business plans and if that all goes through, final ministerial approval.

It can lead to land being sold at less than the offers over price (scotland has a weird way of doing land/property sales), or for more, depending on if the land transfer was a public sale or a private shift around.

Its not a perfect system and has a lot of flaws, but its worth being aware of the implementation.
You're actually right high public debt could also lead to disinflation as the economy crumbles. Which economists say high public debt doesn't matter? Its mostly politicians. I've never heard a serious economist says it doesn't matter. There is consensus that above 100% debt to GDP is no good.

If public debt doesn't matter btw, why does private debt matter? Simply publicly print away all private debt and viola problem solved. In fact why can't we all be billionaires?
This seems like it would inevitably lead to a limited number of entities owning almost all the conservation land. Stripping it of development value in perpetuity ought to lower the value considerably, making it easier for an interested party to accumulate it. Maybe in hopes that some day they'll figure out how to undo that restriction.

Edit: On second thought, after doing a quick bit of research, the conservation easement can be removed. So the value will be impacted, but the land will still have some residual development value.

“Our AR prototypes don’t support photography and videography, though image data will be used to enable experiences like translating the menu in front of you or showing you directions to a nearby coffee shop,” writes Google.

. . .

If for some reason the glasses capture your private information, Google says the data will eventually be erased. “After the experience is completed, the image data is deleted, except if the image data will be used for analysis and debugging. In that case, the image data is first scrubbed for sensitive content, including faces and license plates. Then it is stored on a secure server, with limited access by a small number of Googlers for analysis and debugging. After 30 days, it is deleted,” the company writes in a support document.

100% agreed with this. And you're not even talking about all the resume-and-trend-based software development that goes on.

I met a team that had put months into building a simple job queue. They had a combination of a zookeeper and kafka cluster, an nginx instance, an API process to receive the inbound HTTP put/get, a database writer reading the kafka topic, a database, etc. It was crazy. The lead just had no idea how to build something simple.

I've seen tons of stuff like this. It is not unusual at all and really is about how immature the industry is.
This one of the reasons why I hate working with agencies. Simpletons that say "yes" to anything and charge a fortune for trash
There's one aspect of this that the article doesn't note, which is enforcement.

On a small scale, this sort of thing can work (modulo the criticisms the post highlights). On massive scales... It's not just the cost of land, it's the cost of paying people to patrol that land to prevent poaching.
wow. dying that this design / "aesthetic" (If you could call it that) cost $46k.

> I'm in the podcast biz and it's a big problem that really anyone can just download and rehost content with their own ads layered on and there's no easy way to stop them.

How often does this happen in practice and how does it happen? It's not like I google for a podcast each time I want to listen to the new episode and might get sucked into a fake search results with different ads. I add a feed to my podcast app and never touch it again (and I'm adding from a curated podcast catalogue, read: official podcasts only). Maybe if you were trolling for an ad-free feed you might find something but I've never seen what you are describing in the wild.
>I think Evolution is the biggest enemy that we as humans must overcome with technology.

I would ask for clarification on this point. Is it that blind, unguided evolution is our biggest enemy? Or how parasitic infections are so well-evolved to exploit our biological weaknesses? Evolution is adaptation to environment over time, the capacity for change. Claiming that evolution as an enemy seems about as useful as raging against the sun or oxygen.

Step 1 of that process violates the law, if it adds new “core messaging capability”. Perhaps the EU considers “core messaging capability” to refer exclusively to functionality that already exists today, and it could not even in principle refer to anything that doesn’t already exist, but that seems vague and unlikely. If support for Unicode emoji did not already exist, would a vendor be allowed to unilaterally add it? It seems uncertain.
This is a great scheme to make sure we drive the peasant class into their pods in their walkable cities. The only thing that remains is to buy up and destroy all ranch lands and meat production infrastructure, so these pathetic, scum sucking peasants are forced to eat the bugs. Until they commit suicide, assisted or no.
These are fair points. It's probably more accurate to say that I didn't give the Dells a completely fair shake on their "works with Linux" cred because I couldn't get past the lack of user upgrade and/or the cost to actually buy one. At one point I did buy a Precision 7000 series that wasn't certified for Linux, hoping I'd be able to get it running anyway, and it was a nightmare that ended in a return/refund: the whole machine would literally lock up hard upon waking from s2 sleep. It was upon researching the problem that I discovered the nature of Dell's "we won't actually support Linux on any laptop unless it's a specific model and you're running our specific build of Ubuntu, beyond that you're on your own, YMMV" and gave up. Framework still says "you're on your own" but they're also working furiously behind the scenes to make Linux as close to first-class-citizen as possible. Framework knows their customer.
Looks great, are you looking for engineers without frontend experience by any chance?

Having looked at the job offers I see some overlap between my experience and what you need - I've been working previously as a backend dev and a data engineer, in spare time made a little go app to control a BLE enabled vaporizer - but I've never used React, my JS knowledge is kind of stuck circa 2012...
Big science inspires wonder and curiosity, which causes children and young adults to pursue STEM, which leads to more biologists, medical researchers, and nuclear physicists.
I love the idea that notation matters for thought. I remain unconvinced that APL is a particularly good one, but I have definitely adopted "tool of thought" as a core productivity concept. For example, a plain text file, Google doc, or Trello board are all decent tools of thought, while JIRA isn't.
