Something that really distinguishes bouldering gyms, for me, is the quality of the route setting.

I've been in gyms in which there are routes that are interesting and challenging at all levels. There are several variables the route setter can manipulate:

* Various strength areas (fingers/wrist, upper arms/upper back, core, legs)

* Flexibility

* Balance

* Skill moves (matches, switches, flagging, heel/toe hooks, etc)

* Dynamic moves (jump and grab, throws, etc.)

I usually climb ~V5 routes, but a well set V2 that properly exercises all of these different areas can still be fun to goof around on.

On the other hand, I've also climbed in gyms in which the routes are set almost solely on the strength variables. Separating a V3 and a V6 are only bigger, stronger moves. This makes for pretty dull climbing (in my opinion).
The one annoying thing to me about route setting is there's seemingly no science to it (or at least I didn't get that from the article). I may climb a V5 at one gym, but not be able to crack a V3 at another. It would be nice to know if i'm really progressing or if Router Setter Bob just keeps labeling a V3 as a V5.

It was really fun watching climbers figure out the 360 degree campus move described in the article.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69YVimEOX3I

Problem 4 starts somewhere around 2:07:00.

Adam Ondra skipped the 360 by starting with arms crossed, somewhere around 2:28:??. I don't think he was the only one doing that, just the one I remember. These contests show amazing ingenuity by both the setters and the climbers.

Bouldering should be in the Olympics in 2020. As an occasional boulderer happy with the sport's current reach and feel, I'm not sure how I feel about that... it'll sure be fun to watch though.
The Limits to Virality
Only a small minority had any idea what was coming.

Meanwhile, everyone pointing out the obvious were shouted down.
The "HTML is an error condition" quip was actually what lead me to that piece. And the fact that you need a specific validator to actually check the source is actually a pretty strong indicator of the magnitude of the problem. Browsers simply don't care, or worse, have to not care, that what they're getting is valid HTML. Rather, it's that they will, and pretty much must, render pretty much any random crap.

See my recent comment about Web fonts, and additional discussions about Web accessibility for the disabled (a very good friend has exceptionally limited vision), and think over how a truly semantically constructed Web document might be just slightly easier to parse by assisting software or systems.

A rigorous document structure, strict adherance to it, and penalties (e.g., lower SERP ranking) for invalid / poorly constructed pages would help.

Yeah, this is what I ended up doing. I maintain a little project[1] that parses the CSV files and graphs your spending habits as well.

I also wanted fuzzy string matching, but I ended up writing my own clusterer in C to get the speed I wanted, and then wrapped it up as a python module. Must admit I hadn't considered difflib. The c code now lives in ccan[2]. I've got a patch to add the string vector cosine measurement as a filter which gives quite a big performance boost. As a rough indicator, on my laptop it clusters 3500 transaction descriptions in about 600ms.

Router fragmentation is no longer allowed, that can be a cause (this is covered by your edit).

One less checksum.

On the meta level, core routing tables are much simpler but the use of CAM means that lookups are an O(1) operation, therefore any speed improvement would be due to the better scrutiny and route simplification that a smaller number of routes can afford.

All this is offset with the v6 header being 40 bytes rather than v4's 20 bytes.
Yuck. If you are doing this much data entry, you are probably not at a Starbucks and most likely, at a bigCo desk. In that case, a $5 numeric keyboard will be better.

The offcenter keyboard (and worse yet, off-center trackpad) is a much worse compromise.

At one point a few years ago when Max was setting routes in Boston, he was free-soloing a 14d at Rumney (one of the harder climbs in the world, without a rope, probably 40-50' tall), and fell on the last move of the climb. He broke both his legs but survived, and later went on to make it through to the finals of a bouldering competition with boots on both legs.

Unbelievable natural talent - I've seen him out at Dogpatch in SF easily climbing v11's.

It seems to me that once they've built a detachable screen, making it reversible is simple: you just make the data connector reversible, OR you put the data connector offset and build two of them on the keyboard side, so the screen plugs into one or the other depending on orientation. Either way, pretty cheap. There is no "fancy reversible hinge"; the fancy is in the detachability.

What do you get for that? Battery, IO, and GPU.

If you want to put USB ports on the screen, that limits the thinness of the screen (SBook screen: 7.7mm. SPro4: 8.5mm, which they allege was limited by USB ports).

They really drive home a few points often overlooked:

Business fundamentals are really important, while not the only thing, that are a critical aspect of longevity.

Ideas are less important than execution.

Porter's 5 forces model provides some basic criteria for evaluating competition. If you provide something easy to copy and the barriers to entry are low, it could be a good idea but not a great business. In one of Sam Altman's lectures the "when to expand internationally" question is brought up. I don't want to misqoute it, so I won't. The context might have been the Samwer bros, but he gives some good insight.
Client certificates already exist. The problem is that nobody uses them, because every step of the process is a complete and utter pain in the ass. Much like how standard HTTP authentication is ugly, making the existing infrastructure prettier would be much more useful.
There's a faulty premise that militant action is a strict choice. Once the police start beating and arresting people there's often no going back. Look at all the movements that in the US that no one cares about. That study seemingly doesn't say anything about why the riots happened, it might very well be that "social control" was more politically prevalent at certain times which reflected in both in violence and in public opinion.

Yes, a naive grep will pick up variables named href in JS, the text content of a div that contains "href", an href attribute on a non-anchor element, etc. so a utility that specifically parses HTML is necessary, but not sufficient.

The US government is the one borrowing the money, not the bank. The rates are set by the market at an auction. From the investor's perspective, you are basically exchanging cash now for cash later, at a 1:1 rate. As for "why don't they borrow trillions"? Well, they do borrow trillions, because the market will buy trillions of dollars in US treasury bonds.

One of the original pioneers of IPv6-in-the-field is Comcast. They didn't push IPv6 for consumer tracking reasons, they pushed it because there are literally more CPE devices on their network than there are private addresses (ie. they exhausted 10/8, 192.168/16, etc) and they had to start requesting publicly addressable IPs for their internal network.

IPv4 does not scale to the modern world. It does not even scale to a single (large) network in the modern world.

Militant action is a choice. People choose violence. Sentient human beings are always capable of not choosing violence. Therefore, I believe the premise to be correct and valid. Do you have a reason for believing otherwise?

The study doesn't just look at years. It looks at county-by-county voting patterns.
One thing rarely mentioned when these questions pop up is the ratio of single women / men for various criteria. For example, certain areas, mostly in the West, are heavily lopsided with single men in various age brackets. This means, if you're a hetero guy, it's really tough to date, find a potential partner, etc.

OTOH, in NYC and DC, there are more women with college degrees than men; this equates to an easier time for that same guy.

Same thing applies if your a woman, gay, etc. - find whichever area favors your target market. You can have a good guess of your boss, work environment, etc. based on the interviews, but until you've worked there, a lot of it is a gamble. OTOH, finding a detailed study of demographics is a Google search away. There is an interesting chart here:

Startup idea:

Make special climbing holds with RFID scanners in them. These are your starting holds and your finishing holds.

Sell wristbands or something with RFID tags in them. RFID tag is coded to a climber. Upon starting a route, the start hold scans your chip, and upon finishing (if you finish) it gets scanned.

Now you can use an Elo rating algorithm (think chess ratings, or various video games use it now, too) to rate both routes and climbers in a statistically objective way. If there is any intermixing of climbers among gyms who both have this system, you get cross-gym normalization for free.

Finishing a route counts as the climber "defeating" the route. Likewise, failing a route counts as a route "defeating" the climber. This suffices to create a rating, even though the matchmaking graph is bipartite (e.g. there is no way to have two climbers play each other or two routes play each other).
> I know I'm simply expanding on what you already said, but ... one way or another, you have to go look at a house that you intend to buy. And you don't want the seller there. So you need someone who is trusted by the seller to let you in.

So... I am not familiar with this problem. But what about drones to fly inside and snap pics?

That's not how interpret what he's saying at all - he's saying that there are activities/professions that require detailed modeling and knowledge of complex rules and systems but people who engage in them don't usually take up programming for any reason, not 'they don't take up programming for the professional needs'. And what you're contrasting as a 'programming problem' mostly doesn't fit his definition of programming, either.
>Why blame the Koch brothers for expecting their money to peddle influence?

That's really not the right use of the term "influence peddling", which refers to something you do when you're in a position of authority in exchange for money, i.e. it's when you sell influence.

From my perspective it sure seems like any public organization (university, NGO, foundation) that isn't explicitly conservative will trend sharply to the left over time due to the kinds of people who tend to work in those organizations. If I were donating a lot of money to a university department I'd want to maintain some control over who they hired as well.

Never quite sure why the small connector didn't become the standard for laptops.
Yep, multiple viewers, including remote viewers, seems to be a big deal for Microsoft. Certainly that has been a big explicit focus of the JPL, Architecture, and Skype demos they've been showing. (It's also an implicit part of all their on-stage demos as well; supposedly the fancy camera rig is acting just like any other HoloLens and sharing the same scenes directly as the actual devices will in real time.)
It also says, "small businesses". I wonder what that means vs... non-small-businesses.
I think the importance of the setter isn't as interesting until V3/V4 and above. V0 is a ladder with a couple missing rungs, no one's forgetting how to set those. I also don't think there's pressure to be a "hard" setter, it's just very challenging to set really interesting routes in harder grades that are accomplishable and don't have loopholes/workarounds. If anything the pressure is to be really creative and challenging at any grade (realistically above V2 or so).
Windows 8 was not stronger. Microsoft Tablet PC was a modest attempt in 2002, but again, not stronger.

The issue with the Surface Book is how closely they intentionally align themselves with their biggest competitor. They are begging for a comparison. And I could have easily mistaken the page for a 2002 Tablet PC overview. Only the pictures are different. "Redefining the laptop" is hardly inspiring copy.

Which demo? Any great quotes?

> When looking for a competitor to Apple, go for the T-series, but also take a look at the X-series.

Sure. Joe Average has no clue about that though. Most of the main vendors suffer from the same proliferation of models. Look at Dell:

Latitude - For Business

Vostro - for Small Business (WTF? Why is this a different model from Latitude?)

Inspiron - For Home and Home Office (Seriously? Why isn't this satisfied by either of the other two models?)

Precision Workstations - For professional creators (that seems like a reasonable distinction, but then looking at the specs it's not really, it's just a slightly higher spec than other models)

XPS - For the Ultimate experience (Okay.. but what about Precision Workstation then? Why on earth does something called the Ultimate have worse spec than some of the other not-ultimate models?)

That's cute, right? I can only critique this because I'm a total hypocrite, and guilty of thinking and saying such things. And while it is true, you can learn a lot in a week, and be "reasonably proficient" under some definition of "reasonably proficient", you will probably never look back after your first year and feel like you knew enough to claim proficiency after week 1. Hell, I spent 20 years practicing C++ professionally, and never in all that time did I feel reasonably proficient. I suppose that's a known problem with C++, but I digress. I don't know any Erlang, but I've used Scheme, so look out next week!

> Isn't a yield of 0% basically "free money"?

Yes.

> What's to stop a bank from just "borrowing" trillions or even zillions?

The yield is on Treasury bills -- that is, US government debt. What's to stop a bank from borrowing anything at that rate is that the market doesn't see banks as safe enough to give them that kind of rate; the US government is a different story.

What limits the government's ability to borrow is that the rate is set based on the market-clearing price; if the government tried to issue more debt, that would increase the overall interest rate it would have to pay. (You can look at that as "raising" the price if it tries to "buy" more money, or "lowering" the price if it tries to "sell" more claims for future payment; but it works out the same either way.)
> but so does a Redfin agent

I don't see how - and anyway, a buyer's agent can be a big waste of money in a lot of markets. Traditional single-family housing transactions aren't that complicated, and a great many buyers could handle one on their own just fine. I applaud _any_ effort to undermine the NAR.
Nailed it. You know what Perforce is? An overcomplicated, shittier version of SVN that's harder to use, and uses a bunch of the wrong words to describe thing so as to separate it from SVN and boost vendor lock-in.

Frozen turkeys almost completely disintegrate, they're mostly water. Drones have components that won't completely disintegrate, and those pieces can cause significant nozzle or turbine blade damage. An engine loss in turbine powered aircraft isn't exactly routine, but shouldn't result in the loss of the aircraft. It's still considered an emergency though. And a huge amount of air traffic isn't turbine powered, it's smaller general aviation aircraft with normally aspirated engines.

Is Browserify That Great?
A few things:

- several years ago your MAC address was used in the latter 64 bits of your network to create your public address (not just your link local).

- that naïveté/mistake has been addressed by OS makers since.

- your ISP gives you the first half of your 128-bit IP address, the second half is up to your device(s). This is baked in pretty deeply at this point, so the smallest allocation any user/router/LAN will get is 2^64 addresses. This is 4 billion times 4 billion. With that much address space we have a lot of room for competing schemes for address selection, up to and including generating random numbers. The early use of static addresses based on MAC addresses was largely convenience and holdover from v4 thinking.
