It somehow fits that this is halfway up the front page, and there are no comments on it.

A good metric for the vitality of an academic field is the level of genuine interest researchers take in the substance of their peers' work. A good proxy for this metric is the use of preprint servers. Math and physics dominate, obviously. Interestingly, these are also the fields which the Soviet scientific system screwed up the least.

Even in math, as the case of Mochizuki (and de Branges) shows, there are limits.

What's the actual tangible reward for investing a year or two of your career in learning Mochizuki's world? Suppose you showed that inter-universal geometry was really, truly, a new major subfield of mathematics? Would math departments all over the world hire the faculty needed to make this subfield a reality? Making you, the reviewer, who didn't do original work but only checked someone else's work, a big shot? Not #1 in IUG, but maybe #2 or #3?

I'm not a math guy, but it's hard to see. And yet, 40 years ago, this might well have been the outcome. Conclusion: maybe we really do live on Trantor.

Well, salaries obviously WOULD have to be included in the YC case, there's no other pool of money for them to come from! So that would actually be a significant cost that the NIH grants _don't_ have to include (if it's not included in the overhead), but the YC Research seed money WOULD have to.

But I understand that research faculty in science and biomed are increasingly expected to bring in grant funding as a condition of employment/tenure. It sounds to me like the institution expects to help pay their salaries with it.

And with institutions hiring faculty _to_ do research, not caring about teaching really, evaluated solely on research, they are basically there to do research... it actually doesn't sound that unreasonable to consider a portion of their salary overhead. The research couldn't get done if they weren't getting the salary, after all.

But anyway, yeah, like I said, I do agree with your original point that this is real money that is enough to fund real research.

That's one way to see it , but one's truth is somebody else's lie. Pao was particularly bad at communicating her intentions - even a white male would be met with rage in this case. She made her position worse by bringing identity politics into it and playing the victim card. I think if she had used a better style of communication she could have stayed. Also, i m not convinced from what i read that there was some global conspiracy against her. Herd mentality is not organized.
Power is currently dispatched according to the most efficient units run most frequently. Peaking units run only when it is most cost effective, i.e. power is needed and there are not cheaper options. Yes it is possible to store the energy (one method is pumped storage) for peak shaving, but different methods have different break even points.

Also of interest is the Clean Power Plan and how it will change the generation mixture.

A battery is not available 24 hours as the article indicates. There is the time to charge and the time to discharge. There is also the time for maintenance activities on the batteries.

If a battery system or solar system is installed then it breaks and power is wanted from the local utility, the utility has the costs associated with supplying that power with less time in use although it is expected to be available at need and at the peak demand for all customers. Will end users be willing to pay for the emergency back up or will another solution be found? How long will it take to repair battery or solar when it breaks? And what do you do for power until is repaired (if you don't use the utility)?

Using more energy efficient building technologies, e.g. ICF or something like enteria.com; will probably be useful in combination with batteries. And using a chest fridge as a refrigerator can also help: http://newlifeonahomestead.com/convert-chest-freezer-to-frid... (one example from the google search results).

It is an interesting time as energy use and supply are modified. 30-50 years ago, a 15-50 minute outage wasn't that big of deal, but today it is expected that power is always available. Interesting how our perspective changes.

Not that I know of, for the reasons you suggest. AFAIK nobody is seriously using formats like Mizar when we have actual proof assistants available that can check the proof, which kind of obviates the need to use the PCP theorem at all.
It being lawless made it a popular place to go. That made it dense.

It being lawless also meant there was no requirement to make it a nice place.

So I suppose lawlessness is the thread linking everything.

(Of course, yes, density does make it awful in some ways. A lack of natural light, for example. Though I do wonder if proper planning could have improved that.)

> I've even noticed I think worse in that sort of environment.

There have been many posts on HN in the past little while about interruptions killing concentration. Well, in that environment, there's always a siren going off outside, or a car alarm, or a car horn, or... You can't just think there unless you get a place that insulates you from all that. Even then, it takes time for all the mental jarring that happened to you on your way to that place to die away, so that you can think.
> Here. This doesn't make sense. Why are people, or do people feel the need to link their identity to their thoughts online.

Some people cannot conceive of handling the thoughts of another without an identity attached to them. Thus, the need for all thoughts to have identity attached. It is believed that linking a certain identity to certain thoughts lends them weight and credibility, and linking a different identity to the same thoughts saps them of any credibility.

In either case, some people choose not to deal with ideas as separate from identity.

Tangentially to the topic at hand, but coming from the article:

> Mochizuki has estimated that it would take an expert in arithmetic geometry some 500 hours to understand his work, and a maths graduate student about ten years.

That's a 40x gap (500 hours assuming 40-hour work week is about 3 months-ish). Assuming that math grad student is active albeit junior researchers, that's a huge gap. I thought our notion of 10x programmer is already something considered extremely wildly stupid and doesn't exist? (I know the last sentence sounds a bit snarky, but it's too amusing to not point out).
The situation described strikes me as a contemporary analogue of the sorts of dilemmas we might expect in a future of increasingly complex AIs -- more and more solutions to problems that even the best among us can't possibly understand fully...
I doubt any pre-tenure mathematician would spend the necessary time to check the proof, as it would be such an immense career risk. Post-tenure mathematicians are not really worried about being hired anywhere.

The fixation of people outside the scientific community on things like this is irrational. If it works out stupendously well? You get to live a couple of years longer, and suffer a tiny bit less age-related disease. The cost of that is billions in research.

For the same amount of money, actual, serious rejuvenation of the double the remaining healthy life span following treatments type could be built in mice by following the SENS vision of repairing the cell and tissue damage that causes aging [1]. People should be chasing that dream.

Inside the scientific community, it is completely rational from a short term career still have a job a few years from now perspective to be investigating metabolism and the end state of a disease/old metabolism and proposing drug candidates that might slightly alter the situation for the better. That is the proven path to getting grants awarded, to moving with the grain of the system that wants drug candidates based on metabolic alteration that do a little bit of good, and no-one really cares that you're tinkering with proximate causes, not root causes, trying to get a little bit more mileage out of a damaged engine rather than fixing the damage.

It's a mess of perverse incentives. The only way to break out of the hole of misallocated funded (or at least misallocated if your goal is to effectively treat aging as a medical condition rather than, say, gain more data on the fine details of metabolism, or further your career within the system) is to bootstrap SENS therapies to the point of showing that you get far better results for far less funding, and with far less work.

Fortunately this is starting to happen. See, for example:

1) amyloid clearance: http://www.uclb.com/news-and-events/news-post/potential-new-...

2) senescent cell clearance: http://www.scripps.edu/news/press/2015/20150309agingcell.htm...

3) mitochondrial DNA damage bypass: http://www.gensight-biologics.com/index.php?page=mts

There are others moving into startups for development; more senescent cell clearance at Oisin Biotech, clearance of metabolic waste products that contribute to atherosclerosis at Human Rejuvenation Technologies. And so on.

Billions have been spent on the investigation of sirtuins and other excessively hyped alleged paths to ways to slightly, slightly slow down the aging process. They have gone nowhere, produced nothing beyond more knowledge of metabolism. It is well past time to accept that that game is broken, it's a path to nowhere other that the comprehensive mapping of cellular metabolism: very useful for the next generation of science, but not a road to extending healthy life and eliminating age-related frailty and disease. The only way to achieve that end is to repair the root causes of aging. For so long as the majority of the research community insists on metabolic tinkering that can in principle only achieve marginal results, progress to meaningful therapies will be slow.

Why would the money of the preference not be counted as a payout floor? So, if you and I own a company 50-50, and you have a 1x preference for $25M:

* If we exit for $25M, you get all of it.

* If we exit for $25-50M, you get 25, I get the remainder, up to 50 (because we're 50-50 and the minimum for you is 25).

* If we exit for any more than 50, we split it in half.

Does that not make more sense?

Many fields of work don't pay much, but tell you you've got a Mission. Many fields of work make you work very long hours. Many fields of work require extensive training and skills.

Academia doesn't pay very much, makes you work very long hours, and requires extensive training and skills, justifies it all by reference to Mission, and then inevitably fires you and tells you getting fired was your fault for not being in the top 8% of the entire profession.
Top research universities have more money, and smarter/harder working students. Neither of those are necessarily solutions to the problem of university research.

Don't get me wrong: our lab makes awe-inspiring machines that can see individual atoms held in vacuum by lattices of laser light. Our research leads to incredible discoveries, but we're held back by inefficiencies. It's a rusty system, but to any mechanic, rusty = broken.

Also, leaving to build a startup is rather uncommon at MIT physics, and most students (including me) absolutely love research. The academic career is just not attractive enough to spend another 4-12 years in a lab becoming increasingly good at doing exactly one thing.

Meh. Read it as "This is the 6th perl Larry's designed".

I'd like to see more details on this:

> In order to be convicted under the CFAA, the damage had to exceed $5,000. The government claimed that Keys caused $929,977.00 worth of damage. During the trial, the defense tried to cast doubt on the total damages, claiming that the expenditures in response to the hack were not reasonable, and Tribune employees had grossly inflated the hours spent on incident response.

In a previous article from VICE, it is mentioned that the defense referred to an email from Keys's ex-boss, which suggested (to some other Tribune exec?) “If you bill a thousand dollars an hour, that will help us get it prosecuted.” [1]

Maybe that statement is taken out of context...because I can't believe that the Tribune company would spend less than $5,000 to do an audit of their system after it got so thoroughly compromised...then again, the Tribune company is often considered to be a shitshow even compared to news organizations in general, so it wouldn't be surprised if a news executive had no fucking clue about how much damage an online hack could do.

The case itself is evidence of their technological savvy:

Exhibit A: The login credentials for a fired web producer were not revoked.

Exhibit B: A web producer for a Sacramento TV news website has the same privileges as a front-page web producer at the LA Times...I know the Tribune owns both news sites (as well as many others nationwide), that doesn't mean their web producers should have universal editing privileges.

So I could see the damages for the incident being $5,000+ for normal security consulting fees...but $900K+? Again, hard to know if that's really what the Tribune ended up paying because of their disorganization, or if it's number dreamed up by a rabid prosecution.

The data would be right there, you could search, organize, backup any way you wished.

Maybe it would be more correct to say - mostly because its not from a long lived company and also a dash of open source fear. One of the aspects of enterprise software is that customers want to rely on it over the long term with low fear that it's going to disappear or break. Enterprise software customers are like nervous foals - you don't want to spook them!

It's really the same reason that big enterprises have ended up using source control destruction systems like visual source safe instead of basically any free source control. We used vss for a huge codebase (hundreds of devs) and no amount of dev complaining got us to move off of it. It want until there was a major loss of source issue and then we somehow made the decision to move to tfs if you can believe that. "Well... Msdn plus it'll be around for the long term you know. And look there are branches! Omg!"
Hard work is important, but the implication here that pure meritocracy created highly homogenous companies is asinine. I am one of the privileged few that gets to live in this magical place, be told great all of us are, and how we worked hard to get here. We all are great, and many of us did work hard. But that does not mean that being great and working hard are enough. When I look around me, I see almost exclusively people that look like me. This should not be the case.
I hope nobody read that and still thought it might be real.
