My personal suggestion is the ergometer, or rowing machine. Low-impact, cheap as exercise equipment goes, (a brand-spanking-new Concept2 will run you about $930, which is much less than a gym-quality elliptical or treadmill) and useful for everything from long-distance to high-intensity training. Plus, a large number of gyms have them, and no one uses them because they don't allow you to slack off like an elliptical machine or exercise bike.

Just don't put the damper at 10 like the Crossfit folks do.

The price of Google's stock is based on forward-looking prospects, not on current metrics.
The most important part of the 8K is how the merger will happen and how stock will be effected or transformed eventually:

“Alphabet will initially be a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Google. Pursuant to the Alphabet Merger, a newly formed entity (“Merger Sub”), a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Google, will merge with and into Google, with Google surviving as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Alphabet.”

It seems like they address this issue as well:

"Another key advantage is that most of the solid blanket materials used to surround the fusion chamber in such reactors are replaced by a liquid material that can easily be circulated and replaced, eliminating the need for costly replacement procedures as the materials degrade over time.
"It's an extremely harsh environment for [solid] materials," Whyte says, so replacing those materials with a liquid could be a major advantage."

This is potentially a very clever move when you put this into the perspective with one of googles major issues of being too dominant.

If I was a conspiracy nut I would say this way it's harder for ex. the EU or any other political entity to claim they have any dominant positions as such.

I must confess that I don't. I guess this depends on why you are doing this: if your goal is to convince other people that you should remove the gate, you must accept that it is a possibility that other people may not find your argument convincing. That is their prerogative, right? If you need their permission to remove the gate, there is nothing you can really do without convincing them anyway.

If, however, you are doing this for your own benefit, it may help you understand the system and propose/tweak your own solution to the problem better.

Or maybe I don't understand what you are saying here.
I remember the Hall of Fame Golfer Gary Player being ridiculed by his peers during the 60's because he believed in working out and strength training. The standard of the time was that this was counterproductive for golfers. (iirc one of the arguments was that strength training would cause loss of "touch" in one's game)

Fast forward 50 years, and every professional golfer is a fitness and strength training fanatic.
> That's why a lot of people are pushing for small modular fission reactors.

Also smaller reactors have less fuel inside and the new MSR designs don't produce plutonium or other weapons-usable byproduct, so they're less attractive targets for terrorists, dirty bomb builders and other threats, not to mention the reduced risk in failure case with the MSR technology.
Agreed, though it's not the wacky stuff that's drawing the ire of antitrust regs.
> what is the justification for yet another language, what makes it worth having, and learning?

Why do you think a new language needs any of that? It needs to be fun to use and hack on, that's all.

Honestly, I'm so tired with people having problems with "yet another language". Such people make polyglot programming much less viable, despite obvious benefits to this approach and I think it's a big loss for the industry.

Instead of asking "why is it worth having" a new language you should just go and skim its code (disclaimer: I didn't do this yet myself in this case). And if don't want to do it you should stop commenting on new, in development languages. Stick to established languages you know and don't bother with new languages. If you need to know "why is it worth learning" then it's obvious that new languages are not for you. That's because the answer to this question is also obvious: for fun!

Yes. Because the Google part isn't being spun out to the shareholders but remaining a part of the conglomerate, this does nothing for the shareholders. The sea change would be if new-Google were a separate listed company returning its earnings to its shareholders. Instead it's a separate private company returning its earnings to Larry and Sergei to blow on whatever BS they want... just like it was yesterday.

About the only thing this changes is that ex-Google is now explicitly acknowledging to the public markets what everyone already knew: it's a conglomerate, only unlike other conglomerates, it has only a single viable business.

Yawn.
Drone's heroin delivery to Ohio prison yard prompts fight among inmates
People generally react strongly (and negatively) to what they perceive to be irrational behavior in others. I think there's a strong human instinct to want to set the correct precedent for others and for future generations, which leads to this sort of reaction when we feel as if someone else is setting the wrong precedent. The (very implicit) fear might be that the GF trend will lead to many resources being wasted on something that doesn't matter (special GF products, restaurants, marketing materials, etc.).

However, with dietary trends there's a second and possibly more powerful factor, which is that those not following the trend feel as if they're being implicitly judged by those who are. This feeling is often completely incorrect, but it's there nonetheless for many people. Ironically, the feeling itself is irrational, yet it feeds into one's own distaste for another person's (perceived) irrationality.
Of course if we go back to the original question, Orkut and Reader were hardly "moonshots" in the first place (and Google Video was arguably just a standard project launch).

To be clear I think all of that resentment is already in place and this is an attempt to bring it into the light and better manage it. I remember hearing Amazon folks thought AWS had nothing to do with Amazon and was a huge capital suck and they hated it. Now of course it's probably 30 - 50% of their valuation. Thats one way to get the "core product" folks to warm up to experimentation.
I find it also interesting the non - Google companies:

Businesses such as Calico, Nest, and Fiber, as well as its investing arms, such as Google Ventures and Google Capital, and incubator projects, such as Google X, will be managed separately from the Google business.

Fiber is the most notable to me - seems they see this as more than an experiment and are looking to expand.

YouTube not separating is an interesting one to me, I expected that to be separate.
That was definitely true at Sun as well. At one point, Arthur van Hoff told me with a straight face that "every E10K Sun sold was because of Java." This was in early 1998 -- and it was categorically (and demonstrably!) false. We at Sun who had the filthy task of actually making money were looked down upon by those who were responsible for spending it -- and represented one of the ultimate failures of the planet model, in my opinion.

I run barefoot all the time on the beach, at the water line when the tide is lower so it's nice and flat and you can see surface well.

I have no problems with my shins and knees since I'm running mostly mid to slightly forefoot strikes. The forefoot absorbs the shock rather than pounding the knee and hip with a direct impact. When I run with shoes on pavement, I get some knee and hip issues, especially if I don't pay attention to my foot strikes with respect to changing pavement.
Part of the engagement reduction has to do with simple confusion on what the heck it is but I think even when it's well-understood it's clunky and distracts from better UX design.
And the Russians dreamed of going to the moon but that's the rub with consumer products - the market has to accept them for it to be an accomplishment. Google thought they'd found the magic recipe and pitched it as something for everyone that was a huge breakthrough. Being first with features or flows doesn't matter at all. The only thing that matters is making it relevant to users' lives, which all parties failed at. Circles is a bad model for a mass market.
IANAP, but this sounds at least superficially similar to the reactor that Tokamak Energy are developing. Any nuclear physicists care to weigh in?

"""
Tokamak Energy is particularly focused on Spherical Tokamaks, pioneered at Culham, because these compact devices can achieve a much higher plasma pressure for a given magnetic field than conventional tokamaks, i.e. they are more efficient.

Theoretical calculations show that a Spherical Tokamak using high fields produced by HTS magnets could be significantly smaller than other fusion machines currently proposed. For example, a compact ST power plant would have a volume up to 100 times smaller than ITER

I'm disappointed that what could have been a review of an excellent film contained so much anti-"US Warmongering." War is terrible. Sanctions have negative effects. How would this author propose convincing leaders who commit human rights violations to stop those violations? Asking nicely?

"Thus, the starvation of little Setsuko/Keiko was not 'collateral damage,' but a premeditated murder. [...] Of course elite war-bringers [...] do not themselves pay the 'prices' they decide are acceptable."

This author needs to remember that Japan was the war-bringer in WW2. Brought it right to Pearl Harbor.
You'd have a database table where its entire contents explain what's been done to the database schema and the data migrations.

Ok, then you should have clarified that your target market is telecom, and not deep learning applications.

However, if you do decide to go after deep learning (seeing as it is a much faster growing, and potentially much bigger market), I have a few questions for you:

1. Will I be able to take my highly optimized Torch/Theano/custom CUDA code, and run it on your chip with minimal modifications? Especially taking into consideration that even some latest CUDA code is not compatible with older GPU architectures?
2. How much will your devbox cost, compared to the Nvidia devbox?
3. Will I get much better performance (16 bit) as a result?

Keep in mind that I'm talking about 2016/2017 version of Nvidia devbox (Pascal should have at least 30% better performance compared to current Maxwell cards, and probably more than that if they manage to move to 14nm process).

Regarding the "magic" compiler, have you been watching the development of Mill CPU? Designed by the guys with strong DSP and compiler design background. They also put a lot of emphasis on the compiler. Is that project dying? After two years of hype, it seems like it never got out of the "simulated on FPGA" phase... What can you learn from them?

> "The challenge is the materials that compose the reactor become brittle and highly radioactive far faster than usable. Controlled fusion as an energy source isn't just challenging because fusion is difficult, it's also challenging because materials don't handle neutron bombardment well."

Isn't that problem solved with aneutronic fusion?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aneutronic_fusion

Of course we should focus on getting fusion working (working in the sense of providing more energy than we put in), regardless of whether we use the aneutronic approach or not, but as the field develops I'm optimistic we'll find ways to have robust fusion reactors.
> I believe the GP from me meant 10K km/sec, rather than 10 km/sec.

I meant 10 km/s; LEO orbital velocity is around 7 km/s and in the example I took into account that you can go faster at those altitudes if your orbit is elliptical. Double the velocity if one of the object is orbiting retrograde instead of polar. Adjust accordingly for other relative inclinations. Is there any reason I should be off by 3 orders of magnitude?

I really don't understand the whole "hate," in particular on the internet, for people who eat Gluten free food. Who really cares?

You get the same reaction from any kind of health based diet. It makes people feel judged, like they don't eat healthy. It's also a diversion from the normal, which allows an "us vs them" line to be drawn. People are still, at their heart, tribal. It's instinct to draw those lines because, in theory, at one point in time those instincts kept their ancestors alive.

tl;dr: it's human nature to hate the unusual.

As for gluten-free specifically, I was gluten free for years. Eating it would provoke a systemic inflammatory reaction, yet I don't test positive for any wheat allergy, gluten intolerance or celiac.

After many years of feeling pain when I eat my favorite food (pizza), I tripped on some research that suggested it may not be the gluten that was causing the problem. The research suggested that the supplementation of iron may be causing issues with some people. I also stumbled on anecdotal reports of gluten intolerant americans traveling overseas and being able to eat french pastries and italian pasta without issue. Armed with those two facts, I decided to do an n=1 experiment.

I bought some italian flour and used it to make bread and pizza. My allergic-like inflammation symptoms went away and I lost 10 lbs in a week. When I ran out, I went back to store bought bread. My inflammation symptoms came back immediately.

Just food for thought.

Will the non-Google Alphabet companies still have access to Google's software engineering infrastructure?
The first thing I thought of involved the regulations and other troubles that Google was facing in the EU. Those troubles seemed to summarize as "Google is too big and is taking advantage of its large market share". Alphabet looks like it'll fracture the google businesses more, which might help reduce the issues they're facing in the EU.

I'd want to start an infrastructure company, internet (fiber) and cellular.

But unlike traditional ones I'd build or buy the physical infrastructure and then resell access to any party which wanted to buy it, from big to small. I'd then use all of the profits to expand, then resell, repeat.

Essentially I'd want to become an "invisible" company that sits behind public facing ones, and let's them take all the credit/blame, while I just continue to expand and resell. Kind of like "Level 3 Communications" but in the "last mile" segment (all the way to consumer's front doors/businesses).

Then if I grow big enough, I'd start buying up companies like AT&T, take their infrastructure into my pool, and then resell the consumer/business arm off to someone else (and have them rent back space on the network from us).

The eventual goal would be a complete monopoly over all US infrastructure assets, but a completely fair one, big and small companies would pay the same dollar price for raw access and could resell at profit margins they felt suited their business model.

The hardest part aside from the billions of dollars it might cost, is setting up a pricing scheme which is rational, but also encourages continued growth. Most of the ways companies currently split up a fixed bandwidth network is kind of clunky and doesn't scale very well.
