Supporting a lending economy in an MMO is an interesting problem. Collateralized loans would be pretty easy to implement. Maybe implementing a system for getting a lien against a long-term absentee debtor would be interesting as well. Making a more risky loan business, where lenders are responsible for reclaiming their loans by force if necessary could be a cool mechanic as well.

Answers to your questions are in the questions themselves.

Yes, some people will be more productive WFH. Some will be less productive.

While I enjoyed remote work for 15+ years, I've looked for a hybrid environment in 2022: lockdowns really burned me out (it's one thing to be remote and then travel the world for team meetups a few times a year, and another to be remote period).

Now leading a team of people in combination of work setups (WFH, in office, in another office remote), it's clear that you need a big enough office for your entire team for when they do show up, whatever team gets most of their members showing up in the office, starts having WFH members excluded from conversations, decision making and even social events. The solution is mostly to behave as if you are fully remote.

So some of the benefits you list do not really exist: you have to keep paying the office space, yet you also lose the high bandwidth of in person communication even for people sat next to each other (or you start excluding people who are not).

Basically, one could look only for people who need no daily interaction with their colleagues, but that goes exactly against your 2 and 3.
if its real (or real even in principle as in hard to repro say 1 in 20 times) even than the immediate consequence would be a lot of investment directly flowing into the research. combining that with some AI based techniques I'd say (if the idealized material bears out predictions at room temp) within half a decade we will see good manufacturing techniques. after that its all application specific.

True, though I suspect most people do this calculus: would I rather want a drug addict to be on the streets or in jail? (Especially if the crime is violent.)

Keep in mind that I have no idea how to "fix" this, and it's a very complicated issue, so I'm just trying to spark conversation. If we look at historical examples (e.g. opium dens), it's rarely these societal issues fixed themselves with more lenient social policies (they often, in fact, got worse).

The counter-example is Prohibition (which was an abject failure), but maybe this is (at least in part) due to the cultural importance of alcohol of so many people. I don't really think cocaine or meth are such cultural lynchpins.

I'm a former UX designer, looking to start a career as a full stack developer. I was always interested and got involved with web development, and my colleagues at my previous job used to call me "full stack designer", because I would code some prototypes (and sometimes even some quick solutions to clients), and was pretty good at bridging the design and development teams.

Yeah, people will always complain and care about different things depending on their current situation and whether they’re getting something out of it.

Funnily, the government of São Paulo thought the dynamic price was not fair and then created an Uber competitor without that feature called Mobizap. It seems like it hasn’t been going very well because when it is more expensive than Uber, users will take Uber instead. And when Uber is more expensive, drivers will not be available in the competitor, so the app never matches the number of users and drivers.
> The efficiency of high voltage AC power lines is limited by capacitive coupling to ground.

And to this point, HVDC has been slowly rising as a viable alternative beyond just undersea transmission.

A mistaken belief is that AC is more efficient than DC. What AC is is more easy to transform from one voltage to another (until somewhat recently). That makes it easier to run AC at 1 MV and then step it down to 240V for residential applications.

The cost is as AC voltage goes up, capacitive resistance increases. This is part of the reason why high voltage lines have such huge towers with the lines far apart.

An HVDC line, however, can be put underground (or water) without suffering power losses. It's voltage can go well above that of AC voltages with the only limit being how much insulation we need for the line.

Super conductors are nice, but only in the "now we can run 1 billion amps at 100V" sense to avoid the capactive resistance. Without any sort of special materials you get most of the benefits of super conductors by using HVDC. The only real downside is high voltage DC is still super dangerous. Cut the insulation and you've got something that can arc meters whereas a superconductor at lower voltages would be about the same danger as any other conductor at lower voltages.
Oh, definintely!

Most materials are diamagnetic, but only very weakly so.

I think that a new room-temperature material that was so strongly diamagnetic that it could lift the weight of its own volume in lead probably would bring some interesting new applications.

I find it slightly odd that SideFX aren't part of this. They have worked very closely with Pixar on integrating USD into Houdini in a new subsystem/type of network called 'Solaris' / Lops. It is a very deep and powerful integration too: You can edit USD data using the Python Lop (pxr.Usd API) or even with Vex/Vops (a SIMD-focused language that can be 'written' using 'Vop' nodes that compiles to bytecode and runs (fast) on LLVM.) Makes sense considering how much Houdini gets used to create assets (including at Pixar and for many AAA games as well.) Hopefully the alliance don't make things harder for Solaris!

Taxis in my country have always been for the rich, invalid and dumb tourists.

Looking to restart my career. I have 3 years experience as a software engineer, but I stopped working in tech just before covid and found it difficult to reenter during covid. I have worked several non-tech jobs in the interim to pay the bills. I continued to code in my spare time and have just begun looking for an engineer role.

My experience is mostly with .NET desktop applications, but I enjoy working with new technologies and I am a quick learner. I am consistent, focused, and reliable. Due to my gap, I am also very negotiable on pay and I am eager to do any relevant work that you need done. I am more interested in experience than salary.

Sounds like a crypto coin at first.
Im not making the claim that theory Never informs experimentation. I'm making the claim that it possible to make discovery without theory about what you are exploring.

If you want to count distant theories like "I exist" or "The world exists", then sure, every action starts with theory. But like I said, that is every different than a specific theory about what outcome an experiment has, and the underlying physics that make it so.

If you think nobody can discover anything without a theory for what could be discovered, you are flat out wrong.

Years ago I really wanted to disable the blink tag, so I just ran `perl -pie "s/blank/abcde/g"` on the binary and that worked well enough.

I'll bet you could so something similar with "debugger". On macOS, you'd break code signing, but you could re-sign it or strip the signing and let it run unsigned.
The entire reason the current (possible) discovery may be revolutionary is that it doesn't need a cooling system.

But what counts as "comprehensively"? The whole point here is that 3M got all the regulatory approvals before launching their product, but it turns out it was too little, so we should punish them anyways. If the law isn't comprehensive enough, it should be made comprehensive. We shouldn't be prosecuting people after the fact for complying with all laws at the time, and then it turned out it wasn't comprehensive enough.

What a bizarre attitude. If you change people's minds they behave differently.

Hell even in your example, there is a difference between some programmer who tells themselves this and some person who raises a stink; suddenly doing unethical shit slows you down, costs political capital, and approaches being more trouble than its worth.

Opium was prohibited even after the opium wars. That's not a good example of non-prohibition but instead the knockon effects of worst of both worlds informal, capricious quasi-legality.

I mean, people haven't really stopped doing Cocaine or Meth, and the most negative effects of prohibition (extremely violent organized crime) still seem to be present.
Glad you have said it.

And before a developer for these commerce websites jumps up and says “ah but supreme are trying to prevent bots from buying up all of their merch and scalping it”:

Supreme are restricting supply so they can maximise profits.

They are selling on the web rather than through traditional retail outlets using this method not to reach a wider audience for the audience’s sake but to have a larger number of people who are willing to pay an even higher price.

The web, the system that brings free information to the masses requiring no knowledge of the underlying technologies, is too important to compromise for these e-commerce platforms attempting to have their cake and eat it to.

> client ordering list are global and this cause changes to one tag to affect another. I am moving those structure into per-tag trees rather than global stacks.

Yup that was exactly the problem and how I solved it too. If I remember correctly if workspace1 has client A and B, and workspace2 has client B and C (B is common), global stack means if I switch from 1 to 2 while focus was on A, while in 2 if I ever switch focus to B, then I when I come back to 1 I would find that focus moved from A to B, which can be annoying.
