Computational Boundary of a Self: Bioelectricity and Scale-Free Cognition (2019)
This is a primary citation underlying this discussion of Michale Levin's work: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39127028

Though old, I don't see it ever submitted, and am curious to hear takes from educated folks on this. It dovetails with Friston's Free Energy Principle (which he cites).

Overall I find this an interesting way to look at things, but sometimes not sure how much value the perspective adds.

I'm hungry to move beyond interesting examples from development, and towards a more rich understanding of what somatic cognition is capable of, esp. with regard to bioelectric fields. But, that's easy for me to say, and probably pretty hard to do given our biology tools.
Autobiographies are the best way to learn firsthand from those who have "won" at business:

Sam Walton - this is easily the best. Solid gold nuggets of wisdom every page.

Henry Ford - strong business, science, and tech ideas. Plus his biography of his good friend Thomas Edison is great.

Larry Ellison - pretty solid.

Richard Branson - okay autobiographies, probably too many though.
How to Create a Product Roadmap for Startups
> Yeah, I know, I know. REWRITE IT IN GO/RUST/MAGICLANG. The script is now more than 500+ lines of bash.

These screeds get more and more random.

The standard advice was always to just not let a program in Bash get beyond X lines. Then move to a real programming language. Like Python (est. 1991).
You're proving my point.

Right, for version 3. And type checking & IDE support still don't work glitch-free.

As you say, in more recent Vue versions, defineProps is a compiler macro, no longer something you `import […] from 'vue'`. So IDE developers had to put in effort to support it.

This isn't a great list--it's a lot of fluff, and self-help books masquerading as business content.

There are basically two skills you really need to hone in an MBA. The first are the hard skills/knowledge on finance, accounting, (basic) stats, and (basic) economics. The second is being able to assess and analyze business models, from both strategic and operational angles. The former can be learned in MOOCs, while the latter is best approached with case studies, ideally discussed as a group. I'd honestly suggest trying to start a business/entrepreneurs book club with ~12-20 people to try to replicate that experience over reading books on your own.

You can't get the MBA experience reading books alone. People expect MBAs to be able to communicate effectively, present themselves confidently, and to be able to manage projects. Every MBA program I know requires students to complete projects to apply concepts, often working with other students and real businesses. A DIY MBA experience would involve a lot of consulting with businesses to help solve their challenges.

I'm not arguing whether Microsoft's behavior is good or bad (that's a long, subjective, discussion) - I'm arguing that from a legal point of view it's not clear cut that it's the same situation, as was suggested.

Company size is for example not considered (generally anyway) as relevant for whether a company has a monopoly/market dominance or not. This seems to be forgotten, and it seems few cares about why the definition is what it is (or even what it really is).
If Futamurma means what I think it means skimming across the Wikipedia entry, it would mean that simple value-holder-file configurations would be parsed and checked at the speed of a general purpose tokenizer. But without closing the door to what the language can express in more elaborate configuration file "landscapes". Best of both worlds and presumably all without requiring anybody but the toolmakers to understand what the buzzwords really mean.
I don't get this. 77% is a big increase. Alcohol and tobacco use can't be increasing enough to drive that change. Obesity and pollution are on the rise, but that much?

Yes, but all of this "content"* comes from contributors, who else ??

Streaming services (you mean 5he likes of Netflix ?) are arguably not platforms, because they are much closer to distributors or even publishers (rather than just editors, sometimes), with all the extra legal issues and contract-signing that come with that.

*"content" is really corporate-speak, I would hate my works to be called that :

It’s a risk factor for colorectal cancer, which is not only the 3rd most prevalent type of cancer, but is increasingly being discovered in younger people. Alcohol has a number of deleterious effects, from microbiome destruction, to the genotoxicity of alcohol’s metabolite acetaldehyde, and finally alcohol changes your behavior to make other cancer causing activities like smoking more likely.

Why bring up ADSL2? It's not a long-distance protocol at all, you need to be within 2 miles of the exchange hub to reach that 12Mb/s that you quoted. That's probably fine for subscribers within the city limits, but for more rural areas it's hardly relevant. DOCSIS techniques (cable rather than telephone modems) had quoted distances of 20-50 miles IIRC (although I can't seem to find any authoritative figures on that, probably due to search engine deterioration).

> EVs could be hugely beneficial to developing countries as it’s a path to energy independence, and with cheap LiFePo batteries there’s a path to make EVs much cheaper than ICE could ever be.

Everything tends to be "coulda shoulda woulda" when it comes to EVs..

If that's the case, then they wouldn't even need to ban anything, the benefits and the market would be so obvious, poor people obviously would buy EVs.

To be clear, I kinda agree with your statement, but then don't wasted the little resources you have chasing a big dream constructed by other people who you don't owe anything. Wait it out.

Fake celebrity artifacts (like signatures, items, etc.) is a known form of fraud, and AFAIK there were prosecutions on it. I.e. if I sell you a book that is claimed to be signed by celebrity, but in fact it's my own signature, I would definitely be committing fraud. I think impersonations may be argued the same, though proving material harm (beyond the cost of the ticket) would be very hard, and unless the ticket is really expensive or you make it a class action, prosecuting this will be financially infeasible. But if it's done on scale - then yes, as it looks there were successful class actions on lesser grounds than this (not a lawyer and all that stuff, of course, just thinking logically).
Particle emissions from tires is probably not available data by model, but it can be pretty reliably inferred from the weight of the vehicle. If you want exhaust emissions you can just take the emission values from the database by model.

Also weight is a reasonable proxy for size and hazard to pedestrians. EVs get unfairly penalized for that though (for being dense)

Yes, as such a comment wouldn't make sense if they did as Android is the consumer operating system with the highest market share.

It's no different than saying that Ubuntu uses the Linux kernel.

No, you can find open source code for userland and system apis at https://cs.android.com/

They already do as Linux is the kernel for Android.
Did you go the “display it, then OCR what’s displayed” route as a last ditch effort?
Linux is just a kernel which means that someone needs to develop the userspace. There are plenty of distributions of Android, but it will be pretty different if you swap out the user space with something else entirely.

That is a depressingly large amount of text to write about futures without referencing or even seemingly being aware of Notes on structured concurrency, or: Go statement considered harmful [1] or the Python library Trio that resulted from that. Trio doesn't have any future or task objects at all. To be honest, it is occasionally annoying (mainly for fetching the return value of a background task) but far far less often than you'd expect. For composing operations, you are generally much better off using using Trio nurseries (or task groups as asyncio calls them – having copied the idea from Trio!) and channels for communication between them if needed.

Not everyone lives in the US. The US is not the world, but the 2018 crisis was worldwide.

Here's two (edit: three) of several use-cases in which friends and people I know, in a western European country, lost money.

A couple who signed the contracts of a house suddenly couldn't access their savings on (DSB, some local bank), a bank that went bankrupt. Eventhough they eventually got their money, after nearly a year, they lost the contract, had to pay big fines (some of which they got back after long legal battles).

A friend with a lot of money, way over €100k, in a savings many from the sale of a company meant for his early pension, lost everything above that guaranteed €100k when his bank (IceSave) failed. He still has a royal pension (I'd call him rich). But he no longer had access to his dream of a yacht and villa in the meditereanean. While you may think "I don't care of some rich guy lost money", and while I can understand that thought, he did lose money. He lost more than I'll probably end up with in my pension.

A couple in my parent's street had to sell their house because of their bad mortgage. It probably was bad to begin with, but suddenly that mattered. They had to sell that house for far less than they would've gotten without the enforcement - I know the guy who scooped it up in the auction and know how much higher he sold it a year later without any significant improvements made. What's more, the couple then had to move (costly) and rent (under pressure, so not much room to say "no" to too expensive or bad places) for way too much.

My dad lost nearly his entire "investment mortgage", which was for his pension too. He is doing fine and it was a mortgage on only a small part of the house, but the portfolio went almost worthless within months.

And so on. There are quite some stories of people who lost a lot.

Sure, that's different from "I lost my bank-card, now my whole account is gone", or "I forgot my PIN and cannot ever access my pension ever again".

But to say that no-one ever lost any money in the "traditional banking system" due to neglect or poor management is simply not true. It's simply on a different scale - but the outcome is on a very personal scale nontheless.
Schooling should ground one in fundamentals, to some degree.

Maybe target fundamental principles instead of recent opinion if you have the time to learn and want to tranform your thinking for a lifetime?

Both MBA and medical schools are instead practice programs, where case studies exercise knowledge and principles you learned deeply or crammed. If you crammed, you get good at diagnosing and become primary care or first-line specialist. If you learned deeply, you can do M&A or be a researcher or nth-line specialist - likely some combination - or you flame out for lack of political skills or interest in the small niche available. Because they are practical, they produce a large stream of knowledge, for every business or medical case, that outsiders can enjoy and get familiar with. But the knowledge wouldn't qualify them to take on responsibility. That requires a series of validation steps where you handle increasing responsibility. So DIY MD/MBA won't get you in any door.

For business fundamentals, I would recommend reading transaction cost economics to understand the value of e.g., "disruption" or operations research in business. Marketing or product management is just hunting or bearing fruit; they make you a useful tool. TCE answers the real questions: what makes some companies huge or other markets scattered? It's grounding for strategic decision-making.

> “Ethiopia, barely a country, torn by civil war, without a shred of functional infrastructure anywhere in sight”

Look up some pictures of Addis Ababa. It’s probably not what you expect.

The regional differences within Ethiopia are very large. One way to grasp the scale is to look at UN’s Human Development Index (HDI) rankings.

The poorest Ethiopian regions have an HDI score around 0.44 [1] while Addis Ababa reaches 0.74. That’s higher than many Mexican states.

For comparison, Mississippi has a HDI rating of 0.866. By this metric, life in the Ethiopian capital is much closer to living in the poorest American state than to living in other parts of Ethiopia. They have stable power, cars, highways, office towers, malls, and the rest of developed infrastructure.

Put it other way 10 years ago we had Python 3.4, Rust and Windows 8.1 :) What I'm saying is Norway at the time was pretty much where Denmark is now. Even 20 years ago you could go by pretty much cashless except one way bus tickets in certain cities. That said I doubt Denmark has any lower level of social trust than Norway so it's unlikely the cause. As the locals then explained credit card transaction fees were held at unsustainable levels and Denmark lacked its own national clearance network.
