> Well, not really. If you're one of those: tell us what opinions you have NOW that everyone else doesn't also have. That's the test: what do you see that isn't generally accepted?

But it was generally accepted at the time that it was all a fraud. You didn't have to be some kind of bold contrarian visionary to see that, you just had to not be a chump. (I don't know what kind of answers you're looking for - Tether is also a fraud? AirBNB was always a scam? But those are just as uninteresting as calling out this crypto nonsense a few years back was)
>this finding would stand regardless of race.

That is probably correct. I wasn't specifically dunking on this study about the race component. Its just a huge issue with this field in general. Also(My take) the race doesn't have so much to do with it as the typical culture from what we classify as race but since culture type is not ever tracked anywhere "race" is all we have to go on. There by my take could be someone that is "black/asian/indian/whatever" but raised in "white" culture and would count from a psychology experiment standpoint as white.

Sorry I don't have them, too much cruft online to find them. Mostly as debunks to other experiments where when real stakes are used the experiment could not be replicated. You may be able to find them searching "replication crisis" as one of your keywords but I don't have time to dig them up right now. its just a fringe minor interest of mine.

On a side note: Have you ever participated in any of these? I have and I've seen participants actively undermine the spirit of the experiment while in the experiment, making side bets and such. Usually there is some sort of cap on what you can get 5-20$ or something and people there are basically saying the few bucks was just for beer money or whatever so they are willing to risk it to make a "Pot" out of the money and one person can have a nice day from it. Again since most of the people available for these experiments (despite what TV portrays) are not really hard up for the few bucks from the couple hours they spend participating. (based on my real world experiences)

Could that have been part of the experiments? Maybe. Maybe for some of them, but not all the ones I've seen for sure. And they used that data to "prove" something...

The difference between a sensed brushless motor and a senseless brushless motor

The sensor in sensorless brushless refers to the "Hall sensor", so what is "Hall"? Hall refers to the Hall effect. In simple terms, when a current flows through a conductor that is perpendicular to the external magnetic field, a potential difference is created between the two end faces of the conductor that are perpendicular to the magnetic field and the direction of the current. This can be easily determined using the Hall effect. Regardless of the operating state of the motor at high or low speed. It can be seen that the inductive brushless motor is a brushless motor without Hall sensor feedback. It detects the commutation of the rotor position indirectly via the voltage and current changes in the motor winding.

Characteristics of inductive brushless motors and inductive brushless motors

The position of the rotor can be known when the inductive motor is at rest, but the position of the rotor must be rotated for the non-inductive motor. Therefore, the non-inductive motor shakes when it only starts and stops. To summarize, it shakes when starting and stopping. Induction motors use Hall elements, which are less susceptible to interference and more accurate in judgment. Therefore, it can be used for fast starting and stopping conditions. They usually provide better torque performance at low speeds as they can operate accurately at low speeds or even at standstill. Commutation control.

Usage scenarios of sensored brushless motors and sensorless brushless motors

When choosing between an inductive motor and a non-inductive motor, you need to consider the following aspects:
Speed range: If the speed is higher, it is recommended to choose a non-inductive motor; if the speed is lower, it is recommended to choose an inductive motor.
Control accuracy: If high-precision control is required, it is recommended to choose an inductive motor; if the control requirements are relatively low, it is recommended to choose a non-inductive motor.
Cost factor: If the cost requirements are low, it is recommended to choose a non-inductive motor; if the accuracy and operating stability requirements are high, it is recommended to choose an inductive motor.
Control distance: When the distance is less than 3 meters, an inductive motor can be used. When the distance is greater than or equal to 3 meters, it is recommended to use a non-inductive motor.

All in all, non-inductive motors are suitable for applications with small to medium power and high speed operation, such as fans, model toys, etc. Inductive motors are suitable for high-precision and high-power applications, such as machine tools, automation equipment, etc.
I wasted two days recently trying to make a variable font using free software. The only ressource I found is a youtube video telling me to use a python script from a google drive.

It didn't work despite many many tries. I have two woffs of the same font that I bought and I wanna make a variable woff2 with only these two variants.

I couldn't believe that there isn't a clear way to do this.

Beginner writing advice: write down everything going through your head without censoring or editing for the next 20-30 minutes and just get it out no matter how crude, jumbled, disorganized, hateful, etc it is. You can only write after everything that is stuck in your head is cleared up.

General talk-therapy advice: write down 1 positive thing you did in the last 24 hours
Honestly, if I’m in the car and we’re driving then I want to see a red light for same reason: red means stop and green means go. Or from outside after parking it: will this door open or will it stop somebody.

I'd guess that some of that is just because there is limited overlap between teams. I doubt the team doing media would really be involved with AP.

But I agree with your point. It is weird that they've focused on FSD on streets when they can't even do hands free on the highway.

There's a serious lack of focus at the company right now, and maybe even a fear of launching new product lines.
Every Rails app I’ve ever been introduced to had layers upon layers of “before_filter” and “after_filter”, deeply nested into 6+ subclasses of stuff. Whether or not this “should” or “should not” be in application code is beside the reality that it absolutely is all over application code. Makes it a fucking nightmare to debug.

> what would you do if a side is in stalemate

Then that side loses. If they can't move, it's because any move would put them in check and therefore captured next turn. If they're in that position, they've obviously lost.

Passing makes no sense since it contradicts the rule that says chess players must always make a move during their turns. There is no contradiction with stalemates: since they must make a move and any move puts the king in check, it is hopeless and they lose.

> Neither seems at all satisfactory.

Can't be worse than drawing a game because the clearly beaten opponent can't legally move into a check.

This is an actual strategy. Refuse to resign and try to get the opponent to blunder his pieces into a stalemate in the end game thereby drawing the game. It's asinine but sometimes it actually works, especially at my noobish level.

About halfway through this article I got to thinking: what if we measured reward as not just pay, but also responsibility. But no, I don’t mean “give this person more agency over others.” I mean “give this person more ability to execute on their own terms within the company.”

Let’s say I’m an employee at company X. And I notice employee Anna is not just good at her work but also seems to have a keen understanding of working on things that deliver real, actual value to the company. I, along with others, say “this one… this one ‘gets it.’”

What should an exec want to do with her? Give her more projects? Well, no, because she probably won’t like to work on the stupid bullshit execs or PMs come up with.

How about make her a manager? In all likelihood, she won’t like that either, especially if she’s competent. We bring in PMs to deal with collaboration and coordination when the engineers get too busy doing actual work.

So let’s just let her build shit. Let’s trust her to dig into the product, grab some people, and make things that customers will love.

Let’s make her the CEO of her own little startup within the company. She can provision services and hardware. She can get licenses. Basically take roadblocks out of her way so she can just keep making to her heart’s content.

That’s how you promote. That’s how you build value.

the company is worth MORE when people buy the new stock shares.

Let's say you have a company worth $2 and you have two shareholders, each with one share. So that's a dollar a share, right? Now you sell a third share for a dollar. The company that was worth $2 is now worth $3 because it has its old assets that were worth $2, and it has NOW has a dollar in cash that it didn't have before. Now it's a $3 company. This is not advanced analysis, this is simple counting. Trust me, I know how it works, I got a graduate degree in it, and you're simply wrong.

what you may be thinking of is when the company issues shares and gives them as incentives/rewards to officers/directors/employees. That does dilute ownership, but sale of shares does not.

It's more that, if you take a meaningful amount of money from N people, the likelihood of financial hardship putting someone in mortal danger (eg, by causing them to lose access to housing or medication, or causing them to be suicidally despondent because they've lost their ability to retire) approaches 1 as N increases. When N is high enough that there are multiple people in mortal danger - it becomes pretty likely that some of them succumb.

This is even discussed in the film version of The Big Short.

If Kuzu and LanceDB are added we could have a perfect way of dealing with graphs, vector, and tables all together in one ecosystem. Honestly may be worthy of a thin wrapper project around those.

Cyclists in your area are vaping while they ride?

Just spitballing here, but considering that at typical intersections, automobile traffic outnumbers cyclist traffic by at least 100:1, isn't it more likely that those vapes were throw out the window of a car when someone got frustrated they clogged or something? (I'm not a vaper, but I've heard of clogged vapes being a common occurrence).

I remember receiving this video ad for a Chevy pickup truck in a print issue of Popular Mechanics circa 2015 [0]. When disassembled, it consisted of a screen, battery, speaker, and circuit board. What the article doesn't say is that the circuit board had a micro-USB port which when connected to a computer mounted the internal storage as a drive, with the four-or-so videos it played accessible. I actually managed to find an existing home video video with the correct format (I wasn't familiar with FFmpeg at the time) and when one of the internal videos was replaced with mine (with the same filename), it would play instead. I believe the micro-USB also charged the internal LiPo battery as well, as I don't recall being worried too much about battery life. I probably still have the thing somewhere!

It’s not about outlawing any app or service, free tier or not. It’s about making a business model illegal because it is anti-competition and anti-free-market.
I’ve been around the block a few times in tech startups, two separate startups the founders were friends before I joined as an employee. In both cases I met and became friends with them at previous startups where we were all employees in different departments.

If you set boundaries and accept that you will see a different version of your friend as soon as the pressure of vcs and boards employees and management and pride and direct communication and so on take hold then you’ll be ok.

This is especially true for first time founders who do not realize how unprepared they really were for the realities of being a founder. Having been a founder myself before I joined I maybe had greater empathy for the way they became completely different people under those pressures and the dynamics of your friendships can change in different settings.

My advice is to expect and make space for that, and leave on good terms when you start to see that their emergent coping mechanisms with those pressures start to affect your friendship with them and the way you see them.

Treat the friendship as paramount, don’t do it if you don’t have financial security to prevent money or layoffs from feeling personal, don’t make yourself a bus factor, let them have a learning experience and be ok with them not taking your advice.

Cities see this as much as rural areas, especially cities like San Francisco. It's absurd to frame this as a "coastal elite" vs rural problem.

Politically, it's nearly the opposite, where conservatives use the outcome of the epidemic as evidence that cities are dangerous hellholes, and actively fight solutions to minimize harm (monitored usage sites, needle exchanges, etc).

In terms of generally ignoring solutions to the problem, politicians as a whole seem to be the problem, rather than it being a city vs rural thing. Most likely liberals don't care about rural areas because they aren't winning those voters, and conservatives need the epidemic to harm cities so they can use it as fodder, so they won't help the rural areas, especially since they're going to win those areas anyway.

Also, it's kind of wild to blame the dust bowl on politicians and the coastal elite when it was primarily farming practices to blame. Why are coastal cities to blame for ignoring a problem that doesn't directly affect them when the affected areas are actively causing the problem, and not solving their problem locally? In the end it was the politicians who solved that problem.

I just flew on this same route on Eva last week and at one point the tailwind speed was 200mph. We were close to or over supersonic relative to the ground for most of the trip; we left like 20 minutes late and arrived over an hour early. The turbulence was pretty rough though; at three separate sections the captain had to make the cabin crew strap in and after the third section like that the captain clearly decided he was done and gunned the engines to take the plane up another 4000 feet.

Yes, an open compound word, not two words in this technical context. Not a phrase, per se, which seems odd to me also, but in this linguistic context, words, uh, have meaning. /s

From the Wikipedia link I posted above, especially the last quoted line:

> Compounding occurs when two or more words or signs are joined to make a longer word or sign. If the joining of the words or signs is orthographically represented with a hyphen, the result is a hyphenated compound (e.g., must-have, hunter-gatherer). If they are joined without an intervening space, it is a closed compound (e.g., footpath, blackbird). If they are joined with a space (e.g. school bus, high school, lowest common denominator), then the result – at least in English – may be an open compound. A group of words that is not a compound is a phrase.

TBH, I'm surprised that there aren't more efforts to organize a shift in that approach. Something like an agent model could potentially work really well here.

Right now, this seems to only happen with specialty and classic cars, but I don't see why it couldn't work for any car.

Just drop the car off and get a check when it sells, with their cut taken out. Then again, there might be issues aligning incentives.
An extremely small outfit with extremely high selection criteria and a gruelling recruitment process, that's specifically structured to handle foreign recruits, and drills them extremely harshly in French language. Which offers a citizenship, that while nothing to sneeze at, is regularly not even taken up by some of its soldiers after they serve.

It's not a viable comparison to signing people up at the border to get US citizenship on any level.

However it could act as inspiration for any efforts to found a similar outfit in the States.
Saying it's being done badly is not the same as saying that one could do it better. Some things are hard to do, hard to incentivise, or both. And sometimes there really is a dollar bill lying in the street.
Unfortunately, I think it's the only way to do it.

Corporate incentives are weird. Firing people is tough. If you don't force it, people find a way to just go along with the status quo. If you let them, managers all report that their teams are just super high functioning. And that path leads to mediocrity. Just like how the peer rating system devolved into bland platitudes.

From an executive's standpoint, where you are looking at thousands of individuals with no way to tell, I completely understand it.

And you accept that some unfairness will happen. People will be fired because they happen to be the lowest on a high-ranking team. You accept that's unfortunate, but the alternative is worse.

One reason your soccer analogy doesn't apply to a corporation is the scale--sports teams have a few dozen members. It's possible to know them all.
