Not really. BSG quickly established that there's only a few different models, and who most of them were, but many copies of each. There were certainly a few 'surprise, that person's a Cylon!' moments throughout the show, but I think they were all quite well done. (Though to be fair, for at least two of the cylon characters, you could immediately tell they were a cylon because it was a famous actor playing them.)

If anything, I think in the earlier seasons BSG went for more of the 'cylon, human, who cares, they're all screwed up' feel.
Thank you for your experiment! You can definitely do it with buckwheat* at least, but not with the method described in this submission. You first need to boil the buckwheat in water and then air dry it. Then when it it is fully dried you add it to boiling oil in small amounts.

I think you're missing the point of a social network.

Barack Obama is not social on Twitter. You can't talk to him. You can't have a conversation. Look at his Twitter feed: when's the last time he's replied to anyone? He issues mini press releases, that's all.

You can't email Barack Obama either, by the way. I mean, you can try, but good luck with that.

You talk about a messaging service, but it's entirely one-way messaging between famous people and non-famous people.

Mastodon users aren't looking to follow famous people and be passive recipients of press releases from famous people. They're looking to have conversations with each other. In this respect, Obama is irrelevant.

The US Government’s trove of apple paintings (2015)
I wish I knew! I've been testing out different strategies. I have a free game with an IAP (http://apple.co/downwordly) and it does okay from an install perspective, but not great for purchases. I was lucky to get it on Apple's radar to drive most the traffic.

This is my first time just doing a paid game. Definitely learning as I go. My plan for the first week is to send out download codes to people who might have an audience to put it in front of. I'll let you know how it goes!

I teach people in your position in life. I recommend at this stage bite size steps in education. Find Colleges with 1 or 2 year programming curriculum.
This way you get to working sooner and see for real if this is what you want.
These programs tend to be practical in nature. More how to use a particular tools chain to develop in a specific set of languages. Less of the theoretical topics that a CS degree would give you.

You could learn more later and ratchet up your programming "status".

The article in its entirety can be reductively seen as a puff piece for Gary Gensler: It aggrandizes the inactivity of the SEC to establish unambiguous rules & guidelines with regards to cryptocurrency (see their long-drawn & constantly-delaying tactics vs. XRP) as "a good thing", whilst stifling home-grown products that are within the US, consequentially leading to the adoption of off-shore investment schemes not under US jurisdiction.

Within the article itself, it spins the SEC's rejection of Coinbase's proposed Lend product as proof of the SEC "doing its job", consequentially forcing people to go off-shore to participate in such lending programs (FTX).

The article also paints the industry's opposition towards the overbroad definition of 'exchange' in recent legislation as a positive as well, purposefully ignoring the fact that the expansion of said definition into "communication protocol systems" would include any digital medium where two parties discussed an exchange with each other, effectively meaning all digital platforms altogether.

I'd gotten a couple quotes for grid-tied solar installations recently.. and they were pretty outrageous @ over $5/watt installed (with no battery backup & no option to stay on with the grid out).

So now I'm in the process of putting together a 1.8kW solar system for the roof of a cargo trailer. Not the biggest solar setup, but I'm also not a huge consumer of power - this should offset a significant portion of my consumption in summer, and it's also expandable to ~2.7kWh (though I should've bought a 6th panel for that).

I've paired the panels up with a 3kW hybrid inverter and a 5.1kWh LFE rackmount battery. Should do pretty well together, and like you said... I'll be able to keep the lights (+fridge/furnace) on if there's a power outage - a huge plus.

Total cost for the main components and most of the necessary wire/hardware? ~$4000, before any tax credit.
> The people storing popsicles don't necessarily need to have anything to do with the people who dream of someday unthawing them.

Generally speaking the thing they have in common is the funding required to do the cryonic enterprise.

> If some rich person wants to pay to keep an expensive freezer running for a specified amount of time after they die, that creates a sound business opportunity for someone who is willing and capable of running a freezer.

The question is "why would some rich person want to pay to keep a freezer running after they die?" in the case of cryonics the answer is usually because they have some expectation that they could be unfrozen and revived in the future.

I agree, with the added stipulation that every Cryptocurrency product gets regulated like tobacco: with large labels warning lay-people of the inherent dangers of "being your own bank". I have nothing against idealists trying to reinvent economy and speed-running 200 years of banking regulation in a decade. But I draw the line when someone has to discourage their grandpa from putting their retirement savings in the likes of FTX because the grandpa saw a flashy ad during Superbowl half-time.

As much as I support the sentiment you're making an odd comparison. It is fair that anything which aligns with potential self interest should definitely have a higher bar of suspicion regardless of where that is. On the other hand it's not really reasonable to say an original consensus of "not Australia" from the rest of the world held for 100s of years and a new challenging claim of "Australia" from Australia are somehow comparable potential conflicts of self-interest or that we should be asked to have equal suspicion in them at the moment. That feels more like the exact self-interest amplification suspicion than a logical concern.

The far better argument IMO would be "it's a lot easier for new discoveries to be made by and reported in the the country they occur in so it isn't necessarily surprising the initial challenge would come from and be reported in that country". The China human origin one had more problems than just initial suspicion but this one will probably sort itself out into overall consensus in time and I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being true. However it's probably still getting more self-attention than it would if the discovery were somewhere else in the southern hemisphere than Australia and there is nothing wrong with keeping that in mind regardless where you are or what you currently think.

All the water storage options are pretty much at full capacity everywhere in the world and for a good reason, it's relatively effective, easy to build and the tech is old, that won't help for renewable deployment because you can't build it much further.

I'm not saying nuclear doesn't have its downsides, it's just that it's one of the only realistic option with the current tech. Renewables really aren't up to the task as we see it now in Europe.

Additionally since you're talking about finance, usually external costs aren't counted in renewables that's why they falsely appear cheaper, Germany for example already spent around ~2x the cost of the whole French grid and is still very far from the transition from what France achieved.

Biofuel is actually a good example, since you mention biofuel as a potential backup strategy (I don't think it will work just because of the scale anyways but that's beside the point, let's imagine that in theory it could work). The costs of creating all this additional infrastructure isn't usually factored in the renewable strategy either, but it should.

I live in Wisconsin. We have an agency called the Legislative Reference Bureau. They are civil servants who write the laws,

They’re very good at their jobs. Wisconsin laws are very clear, and rarely overturned by courts.

Of course, there’s a downside.

In 2008, the Democrats won a strong trifecta: control of legislature, governorship, and Supreme Court.

In 2009, the Democrats ordered the LRB to draft legislation to gerrymander the state, locking in Democratic rule.

In 2010, the Democrats lost control of the legislature and governorship in 2010. After the census was finished, the Republicans used that legislation for its intended purpose: one party rule.

Now the Republicans have total control of the legislature, and the LRB pops out conservative policy after conservative policy, all at tax-payer expense.

> I remain unconvinced that you have a point here. Perhaps you could offer some specifics?

Surely you're not claiming that literally the only reason to buy a $799.00 iPhone is to get a $7.99 refund on an IAP? I suspect that you yourself can think of other reasons.

Design? Durability? Features? Technology? Compatibility/Ecosystem? I mean, what's the reason to buy an Apple Mac, which isn't locked down to the App Store?

In my personal opinion, the crApp Store is the worst part of iPhone, not the best part.

There are some really great insights in here, particularly #7.
We've used similar heuristics to identify if we are thinking roughly the same thing ie, if someones ballpark is wildly different from the norm its great to understand why.

It could be that there is extra knowledge/context or that its unfamiliar. Both are valuable to understand.

However I think the author is missing the point of estimates; to align multiple streams of business activity. Sure in the example they gave it seems like there are few dependencies but in the vast majority of situations there are.

The launch month determines things like marketing activity, budgeting, hiring, internal/external training and so on.

Its also useful for program directors/c-suite to identify critical paths across all streams and react accordingly.

Estimates are a necessary evil, but should never be treated as a commitment

It's best to look at households because children generally don't own their own gun, and often if there is a couple, only one of them will own a gun (usually the man).

44% of US households have at least one firearm in the house.

Not "a small group".

In terms of individuals of all ages, it's 32% of all individuals owning guns -- 45% of all men own a gun but only 19% of all women own a gun.

Therefore the population where it's unusual to own a gun is single women. Single men are also less likely to own a gun than married men.

If we look at those who are married, 52% of all married couples live in a household with guns.

This is actually not true and it's just like myth propaganda propagated by Canada. The Royal mounted police are deeply murderous to native people till today. that's just a single example. in the same way that the American media blames every black man murdered by the police so does the Canadian.

Your whole argument isn’t grounded in reality or history.

”socialism, in its best form, is more democratic than capitalism. socialism != a CEO that controls everything… you put strong democratic systems in place to prevent the CEO or dictator.”

No, it is not more democratic than capitalism. You have one entity controlling all manufacturing and distribution. There is no competition. There are no other competing entities with competing powers. A free press doesn’t exist in a socialist state because there’s only a state press. There’s no independent press to check on the government and report back to the masses.

”your insurance company is controlled by all the workers rather than a CEO”

That’s called a small co-op, and that can exist in a capitalist system. That cannot exist in socialism because there’s only one entity, the state. Not even large co-ops that span more than one building can function like this

“the 20th century failures were more like dictatorships than socialism.”

This is a bad argument. Using your logic, I can say what we have now isn’t capitalism because we have lots of regulatory capture and corruption. “It’s more like cronyism.”

If we’re being honest. It’s still capitalism, just like all the failed experiments in the 20th century are still socialism. The reason why socialism devolves into communism is because of the extreme centralization of power.

“socialism is all about how you organize a business by giving workers control, rather than organizing with the employer/employee relationship in capitalism. the workers can vote for a CEO to make the big decisions if they want, or a creative director to design or whatever, but they can also have the power to fire that individual if they don't think they're doing a good job.”

No, it isn’t. That is idealist fantasy. It’s like saying in a democracy, the citizens vote on everything. We do not. The masses elect representatives to act as proxies. Similarly, in socialism the masses also have representatives or leaders. Why? Efficiency. Of course, this is a vector for corruption. Also, unlike in a capitalist system, there’s no competition to the state (no checks or balances from competing powers: private vs public), which greatly magnifies the effects of corruption.

“and to your point about centralized control — we already have that with a ton of industries in america. we already have it for the US military, etc. seeing capitalism as the free market and socialism as a planned economy is a false dichotomy.”

And to your point, I can come right back and say that capitalism can fix our current mess because what we have right now is not ideologically pure, theoretical capitalism /s

…just as you refuse to acknowledge the pile of failed 20th century collectivist experiments as socialist.

I wonder what leads people to believe that anyone in the future will be interested in applying their staggering new re-animation technologies to centuries-old frozen corpses?

There's a comment somewhere in this thread about perpetual motion. This tech seems to be its mirror-image, equal in impossibility, but opposite in aim. To stop all motion and decay, forever. Sometimes, it's wise to be circumspect, and to admit the possibility of a future technology that will change everything.

In the case of cryogenic storage of viable humans, however, I think it is straight-up, bona-fide, no-exceptions, impossible.

I operate under the assumption that most people are neither super geniuses nor dumbasses. Rather, if you shared their context, values, and goals, their decisions would be understandable, even if not agreeable. This isn't always the right framing, but I think it's a very useful default model.

The one thing I almost always discount is 5d chess.

Your stats seemed low, so I looked it up on this Gallup poll. The data is from two years ago, but it probably hasn't changed much.
