Should my wife and I get an attorney? She has been waiting almost 15 months for GC, marriage-based. We sent in everything all at once, work permit/travel/adjustment of status. We're thinking about even mailing Katy Porter. She's from Canada, we provided plenty of proof, we did everything right and still nothing! She's desperate to just start working..as it is right now she's pretty bored just playing video games at home all day.

> it’s the current set of players

Yes, that's right. Because others who could be playing cannot, in this case because society has decided they don't want more players, for whatever reason.

However, the original premise still holds true given the constraints the actors are operating in. The 10x represents the additional value offered to society to operate within those rules created by society.

So while, again, all acts have negative externalities, we cannot deny that society sees great value in having a limited set of players. In fact, society sees so much value that, in this example, it is willing to pay 10x more and accept that some people will not have access to drugs in order to maintain the benefits.
That's what you get when your futuristic "AI pin" works by making an API request to an off-the-shelf LLM (ChatGPT I assume) that was last trained a year ago.
Yep. That's the terminology I'd expect to see in a 40Hex! >smile<
> any justification is just going to point to some made up excuse or insanely complicated internal policy designed for obfuscation.

I don't see how you can claim that without seeing all the records in question. Maybe it was deliberately obfuscated, maybe someone just screwed up. Guess what, human error is a thing. In fact, the article itself showcases a bunch of human errors -- those of people not knowing that their employer is required by law to provide claim files within 30 days.
This is especially embarrassing because their logo is literally an eclipse and it's the name of one of their color options... Seriously??

I thought that the Hindenburg was more about the materials the airship skin was made of than the Hydrogen itself. If the skin hadn't caught fire, the hydrogen wouldn't have. Also the fuel tanks caught fire, and they could have been better protected. Normally the hydrogen can only catch fire if it leaks out and there is an ignition source near the leak.

Even if this happens, if the skin is flame retardant, the hole probably won't grow very fast. You will lose buoyancy, but you'll probably have time to make an emergency soft-ish landing. Helium wouldn't really make any difference because it can leak out and cause loss of buoyancy just as easily.
One thing that's bit me in the ass repeatedly with insurance claims is that the people approving/denying claims aren't doctors, and the people you have to fight to appeal a denied claim are definitely not doctors. So even if you know the grounds for denial, sometimes the reason is bullshit and flies in the face of the insurer's own policies.

I spent months fighting a claim for mesalamine DR tablets (and getting nowhere) only to discover that the insurance personnel were treating it as a different claim for mesalamine EC capsules—a totally distinct formulation. Any doctor or pharmacist could tell you that they're not equivalent. But they had different approval criteria in the insurance system, and even though I met the criteria for the former (the drug I wanted) they kept denying me for not meeting the criteria of the latter (the drug I did not want).

But those are both oral forms. I think if they'd tried to run the claim as the suppository version, the error would've been more obvious.
And that is on the lower side of the scale, il76 and c17 lift 60-70 tons, while the big boys do over 100 tons.
I would imagine airships are easier to autopilot and could be used for setting up automated warehouse to warehouse deliveries - including loading and unloading cargo, establishing a continuous flow of goods.

The Comm Badge was never meant to be a full interaction device, just a point to point communicator. Since it has limited UX capability, a single use case made sense.

Why are you trying to do something totally different with what appears to be an obviously constrained interaction paradigm?
Two questions, with no obligation to answer them:

- What's the argument for using this instead of a full-fat computer with ambient capabilities? (think iPhone/Siri or Android/Assistant)

Yup, don't allow nonsensical states (User+Exception or None+None) to even exist.

That's what makes it good :) Well, that and the fact you have to unpack/destructure the result somehow to get at the value (or the error), so you're forced to handle it.

No one is inputting directly to window.document, so in the scenario in the article you need to move the browser focus separately anyway. You'll notice I specifically said "where to read from", which is a distinctly different question from where input goes.

That's unfortunate. I got a Lemu4 (Lemur Ultra) back in 2012 and one of the biggest reasons I went with them as opposed to a Dell or another laptop considered to run Linux well was because their support staff were well-trained and quick to respond (usually replied to my support messages same-day and their phone support consistently had <5 minute hold times).

That said, I never had to send my laptop off to them, as they were more than happy to send replacement parts to me when the fan bearings failed. They even sent me an optical drive caddy for free well after I had purchased the device (there was no hardware fault, I just wanted to install another drive and they didn't sell the caddy as a standalone part).
Don't agree at all. Have you worked at a startup with <10 employees? It's more like 25% cog at that level. Even at 50 employees you're at worst 50% cog.

From a consumer standpoint, I do not see the main advantages of this device over a better designed smartwatch or a smart wristband. The main interface, i.e. the projection onto the hand is a very novel and innovative concept but also blurry and cumbersome. A watch would also technically be able to perform all the function shown here. And personally, with how much we are all in need of a smartphone, might as well make something like a smart bracer. That would give all the space needed for the battery and screen and computation and roll everything into one, phone, watch, AI, etc.

I have a slightly different take. Not all use cases are narrow use cases. OpenAI crushes the broad and/or poorly defined use cases. On those if you tried to train your own inhouse model it would be very expensive and you would produce a significantly inferior model.

Money: most projects didn’t have enough investment. Brin presumably can handle a conversation that starts with “We need another billion for…”

Wind patterns are actually well understood: hot-hair ballons already move around simply by changing their altitude and going around reasonably freely. I don’t know if those could handle the jet stream, but that would make NY-London a lot faster.

Agree with you on how slow previous prototypes have been: I was part of a project that tried to use them for urban transport, and it was not going nearly that fast… 65 knots is the speed of cars on a highway (at least the legal limit).
There's been some work done on this in the US context (eg [0]) but not really enough. It seems like general large project issues (need to adapt to site specific conditions as they are discovered, difficulty ensuring work stays properly scheduled so that construction workers don't sit idle for large amounts of time, etc.) are a big part, and these are made worse because of the knock on impact when these interact with safety regulations/processes.

There's some hope that making designs smaller and more modular might enable less chance of big overspend at a slightly higher expected cost but that's speculation until we actually do it.

> Hydrogen is "safe enough" if we want to use it, compared to gasoline

While I'm inclined to agree with your overall point, intuitively, it seems much more dangerous than gasoline. Gasoline is very difficult to ignite unless if it's vaporized. On the other hand, hydrogen is already a gas so it's significantly easier to ignite and more explosive when it does.
There's a wide range but what I mostly see is that once an I-485 applicant's priority date is current, his or her green card application is being approved within 3-6 months.
While interviewing post-FB to other companies as an SRE-type-engineer, it seemed to me that outside of FANN it's not common to give engineers a very wide scope. One company asked me whether I'd like to join the monitoring team or the container team, to which I replied "why can't I work in whatever team needs me the most, and switch whenever needed?". They didn't like that.
After trying and failing to find a part-time position I like (can expand on it if interesting), I ended up joining as an architect to a "fixer-upper" company, where I have a lot of things I can improve and wide scope. The money isn't up to par with FB, but I feel I'm doing meaningful work and making the world better, which was missing from the last couple of months at FB.

It is actually wasteful to build 15 note taking apps that die. Free markets limit inefficiency as individual actors can only run out of money individually unlike governments who can bankrupt everyone.

Google gets the worst of both worlds by having multiple internal projects and having management pick winners. It’s exactly the kind of waste you get from monopolies where efficiency takes a back seat to politics.

An Algorithm for Irregular Grids
Agree - I think the whole point of the exercise is so one learns the most basic macro understanding of what the business needs from that point (marketing, sales, product, finance, etc) so when it comes to hiring the right people, you at least know the right initial questions to ask.

When I started my business (non-tech), i knew very little about sales processes or relationship building from a sales perspective. One of my first consistent customers (disclosure: he is also a close friend) is a sales professional. I learned the very basics of sales, and came to him, asking what were probably dumb or basic questions, but he was more than happy to answer them and also point out where, as the company grew (and hopefully grows!), what to look for in sales people and relationship managers. While I still know little in comparison to him, I know some of the right questions to ask, what to expect from those questions, and what sorts of answers I should be looking for. He also knows that I can call him with deeper questions and to help me evaluate a sales-related situation as it arises, and he'll give me a no bullshit honest answer.

Density without modern updates or planning for the future is basically the root cause of this and other issues there. This is important to note even for proponents of increasing density. Even if it's old density, updates for things like rentals can be enforced. Modern approaches are how international cities deal with their trash at similar densities (compactor, below grade, tubes, etc). Politics are a major hinderrance. Is it really a surprise that NYC has a waste problem when the waste management budget has been repeated cut in the past few decades? Now they want to take the cheap and non-scalable bandaid option of dumpsters on streets, instead of a modern and forward looking approach, while blaming people with vehicles (for which the city has failed them in modern approaches or quality alternatives). Classic blame the other subgroup instead of the leadership. But yes, there is a lot of details, subtleties, and caveats involved in all of these.

No, they didn't. As the saying goes, the only intuitive interface is the nipple - everything else is learned.

Blender is only "not intuitive" if you already learned to use a different program in the same or adjacent domain (say some CAD tool, or Unreal Editor, or even Paint 3D or Sketchup), as it's not going to be similar enough. Similarity to existing software is a good thing, but not worth it if you can offer much better ergonomics otherwise. Blender could, and did.
Its kind of what @sickofparadox was getting at above, that it seems condescending.

Its effectively an appeal to authority argument based on popularity.

Unfortunately, its the cursed incentive Hollywood always seems to do. Make high quality product, get endless grief while people try to steal everything not nailed down, and swindle you every way imaginable. Make endless junk copies of junk copies, and play the game to churn out cash, everybody's happy.

Thank you for these focusing questions.

The first phase of the project is identifying, collecting, and documenting kitten issues and solutions. The goal is to create a central repository for academic purposes, because kitten information is fragmented among nonprofits and cat breeders.

The repository is a first step in answering the question "What can I do to help kittens?" for any skill level). It's the technical information that the rest of the project is based on.

I think maintenance is more important for this first phase. Being human- and machine-readable is important. Ease of use is more important in later stages.
