haha fair enough, closest cute major city : ) As a longtime South Bay resident, it's super-boring down here and actually many of the same problems, expensive and lots of homeless.

But all of that is beside the point. The real interesting question is whether the companies will yank the leash Musk-style and have everyone come back here, or not. There is a lot of hype in both directions, but I'd say that debate is not settled yet.
> The interesting question would be: what would have happened to Bitcoin, if it had been designed to have a fixed emission rate instead of halvings every few years?

It would have much less fear of missing out, much less hoarding and speculation, and demand would mostly be from people actually wanting to transact. Which is a good thing. Prices would stay much lower, the environmental impact would be hugely smaller, and bitcoin would actually be a p2p currency rather than a perceived get-rich-quick scheme.

> I think the notion of "fixed supply" attracted many people who see it as a fundamental feature.

I argue against its importance in [1].

It is a testament to the ingenuity and expertise of the ancient Roman engineers. It will be interesting to see what other insights this research may lead to and how it could potentially be applied to modern construction techniques.
16x10 is a sweet spot for laptop sized displays. 3x2 or even 4x3 is good for smaller ones like Surface tablets or iPads. I'm not a fan of the trend to ultra narrow phone displays and still prefer 9x16.

I bought a Sleep Number bed for a few thousand that might be the least comfortable mattress I’ve ever slept on. I tried higher numbers and lower numbers. No matter what, I woke up with a backache. I returned it and was out the delivery fee. (I recall them touting “free delivery and free returns” but they charged me for transporting it back.) This purchase sticks out as one that I particularly regret wasting time and money on.

On the other hand, I have met people who love these mattresses, so maybe I am unusual.

I got one of those mattress-in-a-box things for half the money, and I’m perfectly happy with it.
Haha. Funny, but doesn’t match widespread opinion. Personally it is the best money I have ever spent in my kitchen. Fantastic results. Food often even better than fried, oven baked, pan fried or grilled. I explicitly choose my air fryer for certain cooking even though all those other options available to me. So the opposite of substandard to be honest… there must be a word for that?

It's also a place that is relatively welcoming to people from almost any part of the world. It's not perfect (no where is) but there a lot of places in the US where if you came from another continent or practiced an unusual religion you would feel more uncomfortable then you would in SF. That's a quality it has possessed for decades, for historical reasons.
> What am I missing by not drinking espresso?

Nothing. Some weird online status signalling maybe. Just do what you like.

Personally, I like nursing a cup of hot coffee + milk for a little bit, so I don't drink espresso. It gets cold too quickly unless you chug it immediately, and then it's just disgusting.
> A creature has Burrow. Can they burrow through stone?

Idk. Do you want it to burrow through stone? Write that down. Do you not want it to burrow through stone? Write that down. Do you not have an opinion? Leave it to the DM.

I’m not even following what you are saying. You are saying that you choose to publish under OGL because then it is defined how burrowing works? Or what is exactly that you are saying?

> Does the Grappler feat grant two or three benefits?

What? The Grappler feat is in the basic rules. How does this come up in your own published material? If some NPC of your making has it you just say “has the grapler feat” and then people can look it up what that means.

> Do you assume your players/DMs even have the errata?

Why do you care? How often did you received feedback like this: “We were playing the adventure published by trynewideas. The setting was trully breath taking, and the maps gorgeous. The fun quirks of the NPCs made combat very memorable. My players lowed it. That is until it all came crashing down because the grappling feat of the gladiators in the amphiteatre were slightly ambigous. Ruined the whole module for us. Sad.”

I agree. minimalistic design != "lack of tactile buttons"

Multi-touch capacitance with tuned solid state haptic feedback and fused OLED display technology with very thin tempered glass is a wonderful thing, especially considering how far it has gotten since 2007) but it has remained resounding and disappointingly flat.

While manufacturers are working with different display dimensions and gentle curves or even folds, I agree there is a need for topologically shaped glass to bring the tactile affordances of traditional buttons to software enhanced user interfaces. I'm not a display engineer but I suspect that different glass thicknesses result in poor visuals so we will have to wait for organic magneto-laser displays.
I read the article quickly but couldn't see whether this discovery is applicable to modern concrete (in other words, could the same technique be applied to modern methods for making concrete that would make it more durable)?
It makes sense that societies in which identity is built around working for capitalists would have more trouble with Old Age than societies in which identity (a) is not as much a thing, cf Gelassenheit, and (b) is, no matter one's age, directed towards accumulation "where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt".

From the other contrasting direction, cf Brave New World, in which Old Age simply does not exist.
A municipality is run by a group of individuals elected by other individuals, whereas you have framed your housing policy proposal as if pitching to a dictator.

>However, urban water use is not the problem even if it's what people see every day. The cities do not really need to stop growing (as a NYT piece earlier this year seemed to suggest). The urban areas account for only 9% of diverted water (per the report).

This is honestly one of the few 'good news' things that so many people ignore when talking about things like climate change.

People like to imagine SLC/Vegas/Phoenix abandoned in the near future because there's no drinking water, when really for most places (Sedona and some other aquifer-dependent small towns excluded), it will only force us to stop growing alfalfa in the desert and cows will have to be fed something else (or not raised at all).
Practicing away from the screen is a good idea. My approach has been:

1. Reduce song to discrete riffs

2. Practice each riff slowly, breaking it down bar by bar

3. Begin connecting riffs together at a slow speed

Chunking it into riffs is nice because they tend to be more recognizable than just bars, and they're often repeated. It's also nice when someone asks, "can you play something?" and you can just play a few riffs without needing to set up backing tracks/Guitar Pro/etc.

From here, bringing in a computer starts to have benefits:

4. Start playing entirety of song at slow tempo in Guitar Pro. Raise tempo so long as everything holds together.

I also like printing out tabs and just using paper as much as possible. Being at my computer makes it much easier to tweak things which distracts from technique practice.
Ahh, remember Windows 95/98 Active Desktop? What a resource pig! Seemed cool at the time though.

Neither. Why would significant further growth happen in Western (European) cities if cheap solar energy and space is available in North Africa?
The problem is not with lack of miners, but with lack of security relative to the total secured value (i.e. marketcap). This paper [1] studies the issues.

This is a really good question, because it seems counter-intuitive to invest your money in other people if your own business needs funding. Here are a few motivations:

* When an angel invests 30k, I get value beyond the cash amount.

The angels I reach out to are founders with multiple successful exits, board members of other startups, and have 20-30+ years of experience. I get access to a fountain of wisdom and the person is motivated to answer my emails and take my calls when I'm stumped by a challenge.

I'm not good at EVERYTHING (who is), but I am proactive about getting help when I need it.

* A priced seed round sets the value.

Let's say you own 100% of a fine work of art, which you've priced at $10M. There's just one problem - only you value it at 10M, so there's no anchor for the real-world value. To get a return on your investment, you have to find a buyer that agrees with your valuation.

What if instead you owned 25% time-share of a work of art (this is a silly asset class, just using it as an example) that you and 3 other people price at $10. If you want to realize a return, there are now at LEAST 3 other prospective buyers that agree on the market value of your shares.

* There are more people like me out there.

I make angel investments in under-estimated Founders, because they're often overlooked by the pattern-matching lemmings in the institutional investment world. This isn't charity either; since a fund-raising round is similar to an auction, there are fewer investors bidding and betting on these founders. That gives me an edge.

I also tend to invest in "work horse" companies, not necessarily potential unicorns. Institutional investors have to chase unicorns that produce outsize returns, but I can participate in seed rounds that never raise after a seed or Series A.

There's a fund that follows the same thesis (https://tinyseed.com/) but I don't know of many institutional investors who make these kinds of investments.

* The best time to raise money is when you don't need it.

In the example I gave (6 x 30k @ 1% for 180k/3M post-money for a business earning 10-15k MRR), I have options for revenue-based financing and other kinds of debt.

Like I said, a fund-raising round is like an auction. If you have leverage or alternatives, you can command a higher price.

YC's startups get 125k for 7% + an additional 375k SAFE, which gets priced when you raise another round. If you sell another 15-20% on demo day, YC can end up owning roughly 20% of your company for 500k.

So, all I could think of during the tepid interview was "y'all want 20% of this business, but are acting like you're at the dentist." People didn't even introduce themselves (names) or ask mine. I know this wasn't intentional rudeness, it's due to application volume. The factory-farming way YC operates made me realize I could engineer better circumstances for myself and my business via an angel round.

Hope that all makes sense.
Call it "JSON API", that pinpoints all important characteristics of most "REST" APIs lacking HATEOAS.
Also the stability of the Kingdoms of Westeros is ridiculous given their ages. Supposedly they were divided into the Kingdoms of the North/Vale/Iron Islands/Reach/Rock/Stormlands/Dorne in the Age of Heroes - 10,000 years before the Targaryen conquest. 10,000 years is twice as long as all of recorded human history. In that time on earth, dozens of empires have risen and fallen. The center of civilization moved from the Middle East to Egypt to Greece to Rome to Byzantium & Arabia to western Europe to Britain to North America. Independent civilizations with equal claims to greatness sprung up elsewhere on the globe. Civilizations got conquered, technology advanced, genocides and plagues and famines happened, languages changed, and dynasties typically lasted a couple hundred years, if that.

Meanwhile, over in Westeros, the same 7 kingdoms have been ruled over the same geographic extent by the same 7 families at roughly the same level of technological development for 10,000 years. It took outsiders with dragons to conquer them. No explanation is given over how you could maintain what appear to be feudal structures over a 3000+ mile continent with bronze age technology.
A polemic arguing for plain English. What it lacks is a comparison to other tongues (much communist rhetoric is a translation from either German or Russian or Chinese or Vietnamese or Italian or Spanish so demands questions about choice of metaphorical equivalency which probably is fed by dictionaries, and would tend to archaisms as a consequence)

Not really confined to politics either, unless you regard all argumentative writing (as in writing presenting a side of an argument of reasoning) as politics.
> That mindset is easier said than done, though.

Yep, I've found that accepting a new value framework at an intellectual level is far easier than getting your emotional brain to accept it. I've found that having deep conversations with people where you talk about your new value system helps. There's something about the process of sharing your new value system with your friends & acquaintances that hastens the re-wiring of your emotional brain.
I recently hired Integration Engineers (ie-pdx.com) for a similar job in PDX. They were fantastic to work with.
It doesn't help that we are basically doing the opposite. In my experience you pretty much have to already be homeless to get any help. It would be nice if you didn't have to lose everything before you get assistance.
I remember this from the book when I bought it waaay back.

I thought it was poor satire then and now. There's no essential difference between whites and blacks. But there definitely is between sexes.

Whether this difference needs to be exhibited in language is a different matter, but this satire misses the mark.
Higher-end models can handle not only pet hair, but they are much pricier.
I am not confusing that issue. I am stating outright that it is not sufficiently clear that a human is responsible for the neural net weights. The gradient descent may be considered automatic.

Section 313.2 of the U.S Copyright compendium states, "The
(copyright) office will not register works produced by a machine or mere mechanical process that operates randomly or automatically without any creative input or intervention from a human author".

Moreover, the Copyright Act's definition of a computer program is “a set of statements or instructions to be used directly or indirectly in a computer to bring about a certain result”. Neural net weights are clearly neither statements nor instructions, so it's unlikely the weights would gain copyright as a computer program.

It's indeterminate whether the SSO doctrine[1] is operable on neural net weights, as it can be difficult to determine in which order weights are used. If those weights were to gain copyright protection, they may not be enforceable on similar sets of weights.

Regarding whether resembling the original work is the legal standard for being considered an infringing work: the test applied by a court is called Substantial Similarity[2], and it's extremely unlikely that neural network weights would be substantially similar to training data when considering the idea-expression divide.

Copying into the model... are you suggesting that if I have an image that's represented by an array in memory, and I copy that array from one memory location to another in my pc, that act of copying is the infringing act?

Fair use may even be a bit non-sequitur in this case. If I look at copyrighted art, I don't have a fair use case, because I haven't incorporated the art into anything, though the act of viewing has changed my brain. Training a neural net on training data may not even be considered incorporation.

On your last broad point... okay? I suppose.

This. The pull out draw/basket is the true game changer.
This was seemingly written with a conclusion already in mind and takes a very muddy approach to reaching it. The author makes no apparent distinction between "prepared whole foods" and "industrially processed and modified foods" and "McDonald's."

They paint the baguette as a modern mirage, even though is just ancient lean dough prepared with some skill. They ignore that farms experience seasons and so the workers on the farms experience them as well. Or that the five hour process of preparing tortillas would probably overlap with much other labor in the household, they truly imagine a women solely occupied with making tortillas for five hours a day?

This article ignores much to make an over broad point all to arrive at the pithy conclusion that I'm actually an ancient aristocrat because I think McDonald's food is sub standard.

I didn't say police are free; I am not referring to enforcement. The assertion (by mindslight) is that GDPR is not adequately enforced anyway, so the comparison you make is somewhat apples to oranges.

It costs society nothing to not punch people (complying with the laws against physical battery). It costs society a lot, however, in real economic terms, to comply with GDPR.

Therefore, if GDPR is not being enforced, it is all cost for little/no benefit.
Just FYI, San Jose is bigger than San Francisco in terms of population and square miles.

That's not to say that SF might not be more of a major city than SJ, in fact I would say that personally I think it is in terms of culture and history and social impact, but it's at least debatable.
That's definitely the idea, to give any user easy to use and compose tools (this builds off all the guix shell and container machinery already).

No, that's not what those docs say you can do. It looks like you can either use a DNS A record to point "example.com" directly to omg.lol's IP address, or use a CNAME record to point "example.com" to whatever IP address "example.omg.lol" points to. In both of these cases, your browser's url bar would still say "example.com".
1. Pythagorean secret societies lead to science

2. Florentine Academy leads to art

4. Gnostic Mandaens seem pretty chill. Living community.

I suppose I agree that esoteric philosophies tend to emphasize personal self discovery over explicit doctrine. (Not always the case). That can lead to good or bad things. I’m surprised to hear such a negative take. Like, hard to believe they are worse than big time religions. Do you have examples?

> I am a home brewer and have always been interested in kegging

Once you start kegging your homebrew, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

After primary fermentation, I siphon from my carboy into a 5 gal corny keg, then I hook it up to my CO2. Turn the pressure up to maybe 20-30 PSI (strictly for carbonating; turn it down for serving) for maybe a day or two. If you want, you can shake it to dissolve CO2, but I'm lazy and just let time do its thing. It's awesome. So much less work than bottling.
