The job was always very easy, fire all of the pure managers and sock the google money into an endowment before it runs out. Then focus on privacy as you mentioned.

They’ve taken in several billion dollars by now. Let that sink in. They're supposedly a non-profit, so this plan is the well-trodden playbook.

But of course no Manager instance could imagine such a thing. Cue Upton Sinclair quote.

There is a comment on the r/slatestarcodex subreddit with supposedly true information about him (which I found googling 'who is gwern'), but it left me with even more questions.

EDIT: grammar

Impressive!

Are there always three players in the goalie position? I seem to remember playing with one goalie (1-2-5-3 players), but that’s a while ago.

The tables I've seen with one goalie have raised corners so that the ball doesn't get stuck there. You see it more on budget tables in my experience.

No, my version doesn't have strings to pull, you just grab the top or bottom of the blind itself and raise or lower it.

They took a long break from them after 1.1, the first version was finished. They started again recently in preparation for the 2.0 release, which will hopefully be sometime next year.

I can’t see prices without filling in my email? And there are so many recipes out there for free, why would I pay for more?
tectec commented on Ask HN: How to handle Asian-style “Family name first” when designing interfaces?    · Posted by u/evolve2k

Even in England, you would have to consider King Charles III's name. His given names are Charles Philip Arthur George. No family name. Of course, now his name is even a bit longer: "Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith". So, if you think he might sign up for your app, make sure your name field is long enough, and that the "Preferred Name" field can accommodate a space: "Charles III" or "Charles Rex"

He's from the house of Windsor so wouldn't he use that as his last name where it's needed?

I believe this would a great thing.

Make IETF standard for cloud notebooks

- If there is an username/password then

- Login from the screen

- If the backend (dropbox or MS or nextcloud or webdav) supports

* Drive(or storage) then it is loaded into a file manager

* Password manager -> it is loaded

* Bookmarks etc

This would mean they can claim that chromebooks are

- NOW UNIVERSAL

- No lockin

- No monopoly

- if other OEMs want they can replace the browser and ship it

(I discussed this with Firefox management that they should build this cloud notebook instead of boot2gecko-firefoxOS but...)

Do you think there are many sales lost of chromebooks because there is lockin? I think most people care way less about that then you would hope.

Now if someone would just make an app that can figure out which set my bricks belong to. I have at least two sets that I can't find the instructions for, because I have no idea what they're called or which number they have. The bricks are fairly unique, they can't be in more than 10 sets.
tectec · 3 years ago
Brinklink has list for each brick of the set it belongs too. I was able to use that to discover a set I didn't know my older brothers had.
