Yeah, the distinction may be that this is an “enlightenment driven” program —- an hour a day for ten years, coupled to therapy. Most of the enlightenment driven work out there is relatively religious and spends a lot of time on faith in lineage etc. This was an experiment to skip all that and just work the core practices very very hard and results are pretty good over seven or eight years.

I should have clarified that in the earlier post. I should also note that I’m not a dharma teacher by trade: I do that as a hobby, mostly I run a tech company. I teach out of respect for my own teacher but am not making “a thing” of it.

Which I think keeps me honest: zero money changes hands etc.

At McMurdo it's... Ok. It's hard to cook well for so many people. At smaller satellite camps or places like the south pole the food is quite good. Obviously a bit low on fresh vegetables but the food is overall pretty high quality.

As for drinking, yes that can be a problem, particularly at McMurdo which can have a fratty atmosphere as well (see also, the recent NSF report on sexual harassment in polar programs)
I imagine that Japanese labor laws are a major motivator for Toyota. From what I have heard of Japanese labor laws, salaried employees in Japan appear to be guaranteed employment for life. The result is that Toyota will not be able to fire its employees even if their jobs become obsolete, so finding a solution that keeps those jobs from being made obsolete is extremely important for Toyota.

You can make a Hydrogen ICE. BMW even leased 100 of them about 15 years ago. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_Hydrogen_7
Let’s assume at scale you’re buying seasonal power for 0$ so efficiency doesn’t matter and selling it at 10c/kWh given 1$/kWh and a once a year discharge you might break even in 10 years which looks fine except...

1$/kWh is only storage for already existing hydrogen. For this application you also need equipment to both produce and burn it which adds to these costs. Hydrogen generation can’t depend on 0$ prices for very long each week in the off season so you either need a lot of excess equipment that’s rarely used or be willing to pay more for electricity. Further, nobody building a grid would be willing to depend on seasonal storage running out on the last day it’s needed. So you need a large guaranteed storage surplus alongside redundancy in your generating capacity.

Start running the numbers and the annual ROI doesn’t look to be even enough to pay for the interest on your setup costs let alone profit. It might have some ultra niche applications but the economics don’t seem to work out for large scale deployment.
15-20 year old cars are already worth just a small fraction of new ones. So losing the remaining value after that time is a negligible part of the equation.

Any discussion of "state machines" is not complete without a mention of Statecharts (or Harel Statecharts) [1] [2] [3]. The hierarchy and triggered actions are a really excellent way of representing a state machine.

They’re capable of building electric drivetrains, batteries are sourced from suppliers, IMO if they decided to mass produce and sell an EV lineup it’d probably take less than 5 years to hit full stride.
We can't give up on hydrogen. A transfer to EV will not be practical for all current fossil fuel vehicles so we need an alternative for them. Hydrogen is not practical now but it has potential. I think electric and hydrogen are the only alternatives to fossil fuels. Are there others?
Yes definitely a different thing when talking about ‘extended regex’ libraries, wrt to the regular languages (language class) and associates recognizers.

Openblocks: Open-Source Alternative to Retool
Hi, this is Steven Han, cofounder of Openblocks.

As a newcomer in this crowded space, we take a code-first approach. We’re focusing more on reusability, compatibility with the existing tech stack, and how we can solve problems without introducing new ones.

Per that reference, it seems like only two major issuers still offer the feature.
If you read the articles, his point is that the industry cannot completely switch over to EV production and bans aren't the right solution, considering how rapidly japanese cars have reduced their CO2 emissions.

There simply isn't yet the battery production capability to ban ICE yet. Their hybrids and hydrogen are part of the all-in approach.

Considering that, he claims, cars have cut CO2 by 24% in 20 years, the onus belongs on other industries to catch up, lest you hurt more people for less gain.
Never forget what happened. That's how history repeats.
Right, but if they're essentially incompatible with fossil fuel ICEs, what relevance is there to this conversation? The only thing that binds them is that they combust, but there's no clear reason why fossil fuel companies would favor one technology just because it involves combustion.

I can. By religion I just mean traditional theories of mind. For instance Buddhism has a lot of techniques to help you gain a clear mind and control it and most eastern philosophies use this to treat bad thoughts and triggers as “demons” which mindfulness can help to ignore or control. I say this as someone who a year or so ago was anti religious and the type to think it was all just dumb superstition.

Obviously there are extremes, but most people don’t suffer from these extremes. Now days we give pills to people immediately when I really think they should be a last resort. Instead it seems most people only resort to mindful coping skills once they get burned out on side effects.

I wanted to use Privacy.com for virtual CC #s on a checking account, but the enrollment process requires credentials for the linked account's online banking login.

Not just ACH information from a check for the linked account, which is all they should require.

No, despite supposedly being privacy-concerned, they require credentials (or auth token, hopefully) that gain access to everything the login has visibility into. I have multiple accounts at these places, the checking account is a tiny fraction of what's available with creds in hand.

That tab was promptly closed and effort abandoned.

First, I suspect that every group you've been part of has been composed of mostly or entirely white people around your age who speak English. The contention of the book, and from what I understand that of many anthropologists and archaeologists, is that this is atypical, or at least not all that typical.

Also, the book makes a point about ephemeral leadership, either leadership (and the corresponding organization) that is seasonal according to the needs of the time of year, or temporary for a particular task (house building, field clearing, hunting...). Which may be what you're saying in the first paragraph about temporary groups, but they're saying this is the normal--or even only--situation in some cultures, and that furthermore it works just fine.

As for biologically driven choices, I suspect the authors would say that the range of choices is far greater than you might think.
Existing battery technology works best when you don’t charge to 100% or discharge to 0%. On top of this you want oversized batteries to deal with battery degradation over time. This means any large scale battery system includes a buffer beyond normal use which you would only use if wholesale prices spiked.

On top of this grid operators want generation redundancy in case an individual power plant goes offline for whatever reason. Combining both you get quite a lot of excess capacity compared to the current grid.
Yes it does help with hypomania. A big part of mania in general is the ego and tons of philosophies (especially the mindful ones) help you to control and curate a more healthy ego. Buddhism in particular stresses letting go and thinking rationally about how our suffering is caused by clinging to things (and meditation helps to see these things as they come and go.) This has helped me to beat my once serious anger issues I would experience during hypomania

Right now the only implementation is an experimental sender/receiver. Notably absent from the sole implementation is time-sync.

Unless they had insight into the future, Toyota has been exploring this technology a long time[1]. They started a developing fuel cell propulsion in 1992 --way before there was mainstream antipathy for fossil fuels.

The more likely explanation is they sought alternative fuels and settled on Hydrogen and so, now, despite evidence and viability of battery electrics, they keep on pushing "their" solution probably with lots of influence from the sunk cost fallacy.

[1] Recall "peak oil", before Fracking became viable, was a serious concern since the '70s and people thought fossil fuels would eventually become unaffordable to everyday consumers.
The US military doesn’t have a profit motive, has massive leverage over most of its key suppliers, and yet I do not think anyone would list “cost control” among its virtues.

I'm thinking of actually helping hype the wave myself rather than just riding a bit and watching with some ambivalence.

What does "try {" compile to in machine instructions or any intermediate language? I always thought of it as an annotation on a scope but now I'm curious.

Edit- from reading https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25007427/how-are-excepti... it appears my suspicion was correct. try{ is effectively an annotation that has no impact on the sequence of instructions you are authoring. So it's surprising to me that it breaks the this/super first rule.

OTOH it seems to me there should always be a rule to not allow execution paths that never call super nor this, and since try could break that one I'd always be leery of using it in constructors.

It was very hit and miss for me. I think you really need to have a primary gig or hobby or side project which exposes you to constant opportunities.

My job now drives a lot of secondary value encounters which allows me to “spin off” different ideas with other people.

I did consulting with a client or two but usually it’s not sustainable on a monthly basis.

I view Consulting as a really incredible way to learn simple business skills, how to ask for money and structure engagements.

My personal feeling is that exposure to consulting is ultra valuable even on a hobby basis and it is very valuable skills to have, though may not be sustainable.

My feeling after trying to make it work for a couple years is you are making a bet with your time. You are better off spotting a high potential project that is just getting started; inserting yourself by just being helpful and then growing it and ultimately turning it into ROI.

A really great high value paid position might take 3-6 months to develop. I think I’m better at spotting and developing these.

The idea that you will just walk in getting top dollar is unlikely. You have to spot the right place to be, position yourself into it by being helpful and likable and then enlarge the opportunity by growing it.

For me Consulting still requires a very entrepreneurial sense of timing and also the ability to get into position and develop something new with a high potential client.

Apple made a pretty big deal about all the rebrands. From "System" (verions 1-7), to "Mac OS" (8 and 9), to "Mac OS X" (10.0-10.7), to "OS X" (10.8-10.12), to "macOS" (10.13+).

It was clear that the OS wasn't thought of as a separate thing in the early days. The latest one looks like a typo.

It seems they used modern human mutation rates, which vary by ~300%, to predict age at reproduction. Since the relationship between this rate in parents and the offspring even a few generations back does not seem to be particularly well understood, it seems they would have a hard time reaching back very far into history with this analysis and claiming any accuracy at all.

To me it reads like someone bought a cheap e.g. lux meter, realized it was highly thermally sensitive, and instead of throwing it out or making a better one, declared they could use it to sense both light levels and room temperature.
It is, but not nearly all merchants accept Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Apple also seems to have no interest in letting other browsers on macOS use it, and I do most of my shopping on my mac, so I end up using my plain card number in almost all cases.

If the merchant seems particularly sketchy about security or not charging the card for more than what was agreed on (or makes it very hard to cancel their service), I need a one-time use card number anyway, since Apple and Google Pay don't yet protect against the latter.
Looks like most hiring managers just want worker drones. Mediocre people with average skills, not too good and not too bad. Just enough knowledge to do the work and not make waves.

This may not be what the executives want, but they are so detached from hiring that they cannot and will never change it. It just doesn't hurt enough to care because there is an endless supply of average workers.

I am in the same situation and have no idea what to do next.
Finally a thing I'm qualified to talk about! This is my area of expertise. The term "artificial pancreas" is a historical artefact of the original systems from the 1980s, which called anything that controlled blood sugar effectively an "artificial pancreas". These systems do not cover any of the hepatic or hormonal functions of the pancreas, just the malfunctioning islet cell part.

That being said, commoditization of a fully closed loop insulin delivery system would be a godsend for the millions of people living with completely uncontrolled diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes accounts for between 30-40% of raw healthcare spend every year, and it's growing. Primary care like this will keep patients adhering to it out of the hospital and improve their lives immeasurably.

So no, I wouldn't compare this to an insulin pump alone. It's like comparing the latest self driving cars out of Waymo to the cruise control on a 1994 Corolla.

The results (66% TIR 70-180mg/dL) aren't incredible, but believe it or not are far better than most diabetics are able to get. For reference, a person without diabetes will typically have numbers in the 95% or higher range.

We're currently finishing a study in the hospital to improve on these results in a big way!

Presumably this would be implemented through some sort of ERM/ECU-like mechanism during a transition period?

I’m generally in favor of the European project, and think the last 75+ years of peace (ex Ukraine) speak for itself. And I understand the intellectual underpinning of why the Euro is a vital component of that. But I also can’t shake the feeling that it’s a bad idea for the vast majority of countries to forfeit their financial sovereignty.

And in this case, this looks a lot to me like tying two rocks together and hoping that they float.
