Yeah, there's loads of great analysis of lunar resource use from that era, and propellant for use beyond the Moon is a major motivation for the current interest in lunar polar volatiles. For them to act like the notion that lunar resources could be valuable for trips elsewhere is a major revelation is ridiculous.

The author might be mistaken. I think there's a pretty chance this is simply a demographical difference between the sites' visitors, and I'm pretty disappointed this wasn't brought up early on.

Rotten Tomatoes is a hipstometer (if you don't believe me, look at the artsy film festival movies that rank highest there, or read some of the pedantic reviews). Fandango is what a lot of the RT fans would call a "low brow" venue. More Hollywood-ish (huge budget, unrealistic, etc.) movies (transformers, 2012, The Fast & The Furious, etc.) rank well on fandango, but not on Rotten Tomatoes. The really great movies rank well on both (e.g., Captain Philips, Life of Pi, etc.).

It's always been this way. I use a specific formula of Fandango, iTunes and Rotten Tomatoes scores to decide on a movie. If Fandango ranks it 4-5 stars and Rotten Tomatoes ranks it 50-70%, it's usually really good. If the rank is lower on Fandango and higher on Rotten Tomatoes, it's usually a bit too artsy and pretentious for me (I go watch a movie to be entertained, not to stoke my ego).

The situation is complicated by induced demand [0], the phenomenon in which providing more roadway capacity tends to raise demand for it by reducing the cost of travel.

What typically happens when a new roadway opens or a congested route is widened is that travel times first fall, as expected; but soon the reduced travel times attract drivers who previously had used other routes, or who had commuted at off-peak times, or who had used public transit. Thus the improved roadway ends up with significantly more traffic than the old roadway, and the price (in travel time) of the increased capacity is bid back up near its previous level.

Added roadway capacity can lead to a welfare improvements, but it mostly comes in the form of fewer people shifting their schedules to beat rush-hour traffic or deigning to take public transit, and not through reductions in travel times. In actual fact, as we've seen throughout the era of American suburbanization, vast new roadways have probably substantially increased average travel times [1] by markedly changing patterns of land use (i.e., by giving rise to the modern low-density, car-dependent suburb), albeit while also engendering some welfare gains (e.g., increased suburban living space).

If you want to prevent induced demand from gobbling up expected improvements in travel times when you build new roads, you pretty much either have to (a) decrease demand by deliberately increasing the financial cost of travel (e.g., through tolls or congestion charges), or (b) over-build roadway capacity in the extreme, to the extent that just about everyone in the region can fit on the roads at once, alone in his or her own car (as is the situation in cities like mine).

1. I mean in comparison to a counterfactual alternative history in which the urban-suburban commuter freeway systems typical of American cities went unbuilt. Commute times in European metropolises, which mostly lack the extensive commuter roadways and concomitant suburban sprawl of their American counterparts, are broadly lower than in American metros of similar sizes, for example.
There is so much zen to it. I've gone from being the single developer sitting in a room with the founder and the creative director building a product from scratch to managing a technical team of 15 at the same company, with another couple dozen employees in other departments.

The difficulty of running a large technical team is all about managing coordination and communication overhead. You need to build a culture where interruption is frowned upon, but at the same time you need to ensure that knowledge isn't siloed. The balance is very very important, and the means of achieving it are much more art than science. I suppose I could throw up my hands and concede I'll never be able to regain the focus to be a good individual contributor, but I rebel against that inclination on the (perhaps selfish) belief that going full management would put me out of touch with the people I'm managing.

In any case, it is possible to both manage and write code, but it requires an incredible amount of discipline to truly embody the nature of each job and do them well side by side.

Does Waze optimize for the socially optimal distribution over the whole network, or does it optimize for each individual traveller?

If it optimizes for each individual traveller, then Braess' paradox still applies even with Waze because all the travelers in Braess' paradox make the individually optimal choice.

If it optimizes for the socially optimal distribution, then it does solve the problem. But this sounds like an optimization problem that would be really hard to formulate and solve in practice, so I'd be surprised if Waze (or any other networked traffic app) did it right now. Maybe eventually?
I forgot to mention the part where all Film Crit Hulk reviews are written in the first person as the Incredible Hulk - hence the all-caps. Certainly a valid criticism. Other authors on the site use proper capitalization.

I never found it that big a deal, mildly distracting at best, but I can understand where it turns off others. Seems the design decision for gains in immersion(?) caused a larger tradeoff in readability.

The Stanford Endowment Experiment
how about this, as an alternative to going down the route of secure loaders and such.

The firmware that's written to the chip is padded out to (sizeof(flash)-X) with cryptographicly secure random bytes, where X is the size of a crypto signature block, which you use to sign the firmware. When you plug the thing into a computer without the sd card inserted(I plan on storing the password vault on an sd card, correctly encrypted), it dumps all of the flash via keyboard. Pipe that into a program that verifies the signature, via whatever means, and you can ensure the firmware has not been tampered short of hardware modification in the form of adding more flash memory/eeprom, as to do so would require compressing the existing code/cryptgraphically secure padding, as you would need to dump the original out to pass the verification. If you want to be even more secure, you can even replace the existing signature with your own, therefore ensuring that people can't change the version without access to your private key.

Reviews in general are crap for several reasons.

One is just pure statistics and design. The typical "average" review score is a mean. And a mean tends to bias towards higher scores, especially when the floor isn't zero. Consider Amazon reviews, for example, which is a 1 to 5 star system. Amazon has half-star increments for the average rating, so you'd think that leaves a lot of dynamic range for reviews, but in practice only the very highest averages are worth considering, everything else is a crap shoot. Consider something that is near universally considered bad by reviewers, it takes 3 1-star reviews for every 5-star review to bring the average down to a 2-star. A 2:1 min:max ratings ratio leads to the same average, and a 1:1 ratio leads to 3-stars. A 1:2 ratio (where 1/3 of all customers have an awful experience) results in around a 4-star average. So you have a situation where a 1-star average means something is universally horrid, and 2 through 4 stars are just variations of awfulness, with only 4.5 stars and above meaning that more than 3/4 of reviewers had a good experience.

Obviously the better metric would be a median, or something similar, but that would lower the average ratings and lead to fewer purchases, most likely.

The other big problem, especially with media, is that the ratings are from self-selected groups. In many cases, especially media, the only people who are going to go out of their way to experience something are folks who are going to be predisposed to liking it, while most other people stay away and thus won't even rate it.

All of which is beside the elephant in the room, which is the fact that in art there's no such thing as an objective universal scale of quality. You absolutely cannot place movies, books, television, or games on a linear number line of "quality" and have those numbers be consistent and sensible. The best that you can hope for is a general sense of whether a lot of people like something or not and the intensity of that like, beyond that you need to actually dig into what people are saying, and who, deciding if it's worth the risk to watch/read/etc. and then deciding for yourself how you feel about it.

I doubt that they'd be able to correct this with software. Take for example Mineral X. A concentration higher than 1mg/ml of X in blood may indicate disease D. Imagine that the tip of the finger has a much higher percentage of X than any other body parts. In testing for D you'd get a reading that may or may not be wrong as you wouldn't know if a high concentration of X is as a result of disease D or as a result of the machine's inherent error. Your screwed both ways. Theranos should understand that it isn't just a traditional software company that can release an MVP for the public. One screw up and their reputation is tarnished for ever. Just ask Volkswagen ;)
Basically we have (a) small satellites / nanosats / CubeSats, there are several companies in the EU like SSTL in the UK or Berlin Space Technologies, (b) new launchers (aiming for the satellite market first) like Swiss Space Systems and (c) those shooting for the Moon like Part-Time Scientists (I'm involved). That's the upstream side.

Downstream would be typical satellite applications (usually communication, navigation, imaging / Earth observation), though I don't know their names out of my head. Sometimes one sees a crowdfunding campaign aiming for some novel application. The lunar applications are mostly different, more on the space science and space mining side.

And of course many things not directly doing rocket science. Just some ideas: space suit sensor networks, big data and analytics for spaceflight medicine R&D, AI for autonomous vehicles or on-site assessments a.s.o. Could be done via established smaller suppliers (e.g. co-funded via Horizon 2020 grants) or own project / startup attempts. Even quite a few of the established players moderately embrace the digitalization and automation wave, so they're open for novel techniques and approaches.

One could get involved with one of the many Mars Society chapters and see whether one could spin off something there.

Our challenge is to create a European private space ecosystem. Luckily we have tech and talent, but compared to the US we're small, underfunded, not well connected. Part of my work is to change that, but I'm still preparing.

I've always wanted to understand Wiles proof for Fermat's Last Theorem. I have started on it but I have no good idea on how to approach the subject. Experts say that it takes decades of studying for a layman to understand it.
My guess is that in the beginning it had something to do with VC's being desperate for an attractive, brilliant, successful female founder with world-changing ideas that could be slapped on magazine covers to show everyone that yes, they do invest in women. After the first round it's much easier to raise subsequent rounds, and the whole thing may have fed on itself - investors throwing good money after bad, both to save face and to chase the glimmer of hope that they were getting somewhere with this. Elizabeth Holmes has somehow kept the money flowing for a decade from extremely credible people, which means she is far better at placating investors in the face of slow progress than perhaps anyone in recent Silicon Valley history.
Thanks for the recommendation. These (FCH) reviews are awesome. Do you know any other such critics?
Fairly random, though they generally break it into sections. Typically something to do with a high level overview of something, then digging into some finer details of it, then off to whiteboard some very unrelated code (fizz buzz, fibonacci terms, etc).

Candour, honesty and therapy. And enforce ridiculously high standards.

Most of us are not as good as we say/imply we are. All of us are terrified that someone will find out, and terrified that we will slip. So there is often a refusal to say "I don't know" or a refusal to accept that we might need to slow down and think about the work we are doing

Your best bet is to make a team that is willing to try something that will make them look like they don't know what they are doing, send off signals to "management" that are opposite of what all the other teams are sending. (This is the other point about a tech lead - you will be compared to the other tech leads - if they are hiding their faults, you will look bad by comparison as will your team - how you persuade management this is not the case is hard.

My best suggestion for that is ridiculously high standards - perfect test coverage, documentation, linting, enforced peer review and more. For every commit. Enforced by scripts not by you.

One of your long-term responsibilities is to grow your team so everyone is more effective in the future. To elaborate a little more on #1, the primary tool at your disposal is the ability to allocate work. It's important to allocate work in ways that are both achievable and meaningful to your team's growth. This means two things:

(1) Breaking projects into small enough chunks that they can be taken on by a single engineer.

(2) Coalescing small tickets into bigger projects so that they can be taken off in a larger chunk.

It's tempting to give all the small tickets to junior engineers, especially close to a release, but occasionally giving people projects that at the 90th percentile of their capabilities both gives them skill growth and gives them something to point to as an accomplishment come performance review-time.
Welcome to modern medicine. Starting with the Reagan administration, oversight over medical devices has been greatly reduced. You have a lot of leeway with medical devices, even moreso than with drugs.

Lots of billion dollar medical companies have leading politicians on their board. Donald Rumsfeld was on the board for Gilead Sciences. It is vital for these businesses that to be on good terms with the government, as it is the government helps define what is allowed.

Some would argue that this is just a form of corruption which endangers the lives of patients worldwide.

That is true if the new road does is indeed the source of the new traffic. But it all falls apart if that future increase in traffic will be coming regardless of whether the road is built. that's where the paradox really breaks down.

You cannot solve the problem of an external source of new traffic, be it a new stadium at the edge of town or new machine added to the edge of a network, by not building in any new capacity. Well, you could if you simply chose not to serve that new node. Not running any new roads to a new airport is a great way to get that airport to close, just as not serving that new customer on your network is a great way to make that customer go elsewhere.

The other flipside to the pardox is that it really is applicable to any network. Sometimes the best way to improve the efficiency of mass transit is to cull bus/train routes. But try selling that in a modern city.
The hue 5B in the Munsell system is not supposed to be some idealized “blue”. The “B” is just a mnemonic device: breaking the 100 hues which make up the full Munsell hue scale into 10 sections R, YR, Y, GY, G, BG, B, PB, P, and RP is a way of making the numbers a bit easier to remember than just a number from 0–100, but the precise boundaries of those categories are not in themselves meaningful. The whole point of the Munsell system is that you learn what color the hue number represents, and then it’s predictable, you don’t need to rely on someone’s arbitrary choice for each color term, or the specifics of some printer inks. The 100 hues are uniformly spaced with respect to human perception, and since human color categories are not organized in an orderly way relative to hue perception, it’s inevitable that any rigorously organized system won’t match up precisely with those categories.

As for RGB #FF0000, the “R” primary on a computer display is very orange-ish compared to what a human would call the unique hue “red”.

It always surprises me that most rating sites don't even take the basic step of normalizing their ratings to a more even distribution.
Why is paradox? Seem obvious to me. If person can explain, thank you.
Oh wow, that's rich. Quoting from the article:

Sites like Rotten Tomatoes that aggregate movie reviews into one overall rating are being blamed for poor opening weekends.

The best part is that the quote above even provides a link to the reference they are using for the made statement.[0] In effect, the studios are complaining that news of the films' crappiness are spreading too fast.

Let that sink in. The studios confess that their productions are so awful they couldn't be used even for guano. It's almost as if the availability of reviews was the reason for such bad box office performance - not the dubious quality of the object being reviewed.

When a bunch of reviews can undo the effects of a massive, weeks or months long marketing push, I'd say it's time to rethink your product strategy.

Our team at work had a very long-running argument last year with the general manager in charge of our main income-generating operation who wanted to base the search on the our main product site on product codes. Those product codes are fairly logical in the way they are structured, and are clearly very specific, and he just did not get why people looking for items might not find them far more useful than, say, names of things

Unfortunately, no. I came by them mostly by accident (recommendation on another forum). I too wish there were more like them, though. They're a very different style of review to the ones Rotten Tomatoes seems to aggregate, or that you would see in the typical "Arts" section of a paper or magazine.
I have commented on this in the past, but I have worked in the lab industry. It is very highly regulated, and what is happening now is exactly what should have been expected. The bottom line in the lab industry is you can market yourself however you want, claim whatever tech, but it is completely worthless unless you can get it FDA approved which is not easy.

Suddenly a company that looks like a Kickstarter page has the valuation of companies like Quest Diagnositics. A problem here and in some investment circles is that people think every industry is ripe for disruption from some whiz kid but it is not always true. The lab industry is very competitive, and HMOs drive the margins down a lot.
