Before signing the contract, ask for clear written exceptions to the requirement. In my very limited experience on the subject, I have been able to secure exceptions to such policies for side projects and ongoing work that are clearly unr

And just handling/storage. Things that are flammable or explosive have more-stringent requirements. A familiar example: one should take much greater care when storing rubbing alcohol (or Bacardi 151 or vodka) than wine. One will magni

I have more than once found myself answering that sort of question. I gave similar reasoning. In 2020, for a grassroots PPE-relief organization, however, I found that I had sometimes been mistaken. What our group managed to achieve by esche

Of course, with a blog post and an HN article, algorithms for decades will now say, "Yep. $(THAT_GUY) <--> $(SERIAL_KILLER)".

There is a subtlety here, due to Google's scale. If I sign up with a small company based in, say, Chile, all of my information is likely to be stored there or at least governed by Chile's laws no matter where I am in the world. Th

One might want to study the impacts of initiative voting in the western US. There are times when bypassing the legislative process is perhaps essential (term-limits for legislators?), but mostly it bypasses the compromises often made in rep

It is now partially incorrect, too. Now we can no longer change Boltzmann's constant not because he's dead (indeed, until recently, it was a measurable quantity), but because k_B is now defined as a part of the redefinition of t

The article is fairly thorough on this point. Among the available strategies is taking out loans against your shares, as ProPublica asserts Ellison and Musk have done. I'm surprised at the extent to which some people appear to have mor

The devil is in the details. Should one attempt to tax unrealized capital gains, what is a workable way to do so? Would there be massive credits for paper losses? How does one value illiquid shares? Minority shares of private companies? Th

My guess is that for some definition of "emerged", the three microsecond-long (3000 ns-long) pulse emerged 62 ns early. Most of the results like this involve some sort of anomalous dispersion and careful definition of the term &qu

I was lucky as an undergrad to attend a small lecture by Tommy Gold [1] near the end of his life, where he advocated the ideas described in his book Deep Hot Biosphere. He was often ahead of his time and unafraid to take controversial posi
