>There's a pretty big difference between communicating in and about the present vs. communicating about the past. I think what you've identified is the beginning of a distinction between those two activities in the technologies we use.

That's a great observation. I had not explored that line of reasoning. That gives me something to chew on. Right off though, I'd say that... I suspect we used to value communicating about the past more because it was so difficult to do so, but as facebook makes it easier, the value has gone down.

How's this sound: before long epics were written down, the oral tradition of reciting them kept them alive, and thus the entire process was valued. Once they were written, it got easier to 'remember' the epics. S, writing was not as valuable as orally remembering/reciting because it was easier/more common/not as important? This is not the best comparison, but sounds right to me at the moment.

I'm pretty sure wget still makes it's http requests as version 1.0 rather than 1.1 (which nearly everything else uses), and if you want to change that you need to patch it.

Western technological advancements have pretty much everything to do with our wins against malnutrition.

Without question, there are still far too many hungry people in the world. Chronic persistent hunger is an enormous problem that will be difficult to overcome but these people aren't hungry because there isn't enough food. There's food aplenty, we haven't been able to come up with a system for providing it to everyone in adequate amounts.
I see, thank you.

I switched to Opera to escape some of Google's tentacles, and that was a smooth transition. If you want a compromise, it's worth a shot.

I then went the whole hog to Firefox.

uBlock Origin, Self Destructing Cookies, and a VPN (PrivateInternetAccess) and I figure I'm getting as good as I can.

The lack of Flash is a non-issue nowadays for me, especially now the BBC are trialing HTML5.

(Although I generally use get_iplayer anyway.)

My primary issue with Firefox is it seems to be really poorly optimised for multicore CPUs. That's entirely anecdotal, but Opera runs just fine on a low clockspeed quadcore system whereas FF is unusable for me.

On my main machine, I get one core with moderate to high usage, and next to nothing on the other cores. Even if it's maxing out one core and lagging.

This is pretty much my job. I develop climate analysis software at a DOE national lab. We have a pretty reasonable career ladder for the "research software engineer". A quick sample:

Me: Recent graduate (2012), early career. All dev, all the time.

Lead Dev: ~15-20 years experience, minor project management tasks, mostly just dev work. Gets author credit on scientists' papers every once in a while for his help in generating visualizations.

Principal Investigator: 30-40 years experience, created the software package that we develop in the early 90s, almost entirely project management.

Our organization doesn't expect publications from us (though they're a perk at raise time). There are a few conferences that we present at annually, some posters to make, but for the most part, I just write software that helps scientists do their jobs better. I'm just down the hall from some of the leading minds in climate science, and it's really a great environment.

Of course, our lab varies wildly internally; any different project could have a drastically different experience, and different departments would have very different expectations.
Yes, SF is a special kind of stupid.

It still is about 70% rent control, if I remember correctly. So, even before construction capacity/permit issues, 100% of the people who want to move to SF are competing on price for 30% of the inventory. Naturally, the people willing to pay the most for those units get them, so you get massive rent inflation and huge incentives to cater to the luxury market.

Well, he's 20 now. And he's stuck with it for four years? That's pretty impressive.
It's a harsh realization for some that not all risk can be abolished.

Life is risk and it is impossible to enjoy much of it if you're not prepared to take any risks.

What weirds me out is that it is always other people who wish to put limits on what kinds of risks one can take, after all, nobody stops them from wearing a helmet if they so desire and that should be all there is to it, but no, you too have to wear a helmet.
I don't think it's bad at all. You're right that it does exactly what it says it does and that's cool, but that doesn't make it impressive.

It's not particularly well designed, I don't know why there's a social dimension to it, etc. I don't think every product needs to be impressive and I don't mean it as a dig on Venmo. Just that if there IS a way to fill this niche in an "impressive" way, Venmo isn't it.

> Because most work sucks, and 99% of people would rather be screwing, drinking and watching TV all day long.

That's bullshit view of humanity and frankly, insulting to me as a human being. If you really take a look at "99% of people" you'll see individuals with dreams and passions, most of whom never get to realize them. That nice girl who served you burger and fries in a drive-thru? She wanted to be a pianist, but she had to enter the job market early. She is knitting over the weekend and cares about local problems. That taxi driver who drove you to work probably builds RC planes in the little free time he has, or maybe serves in HOA.

If you really, really look at general population, you'll see people with energy to build, create and experiment. Some of them get lucky and find a fulfilling job. Most of them have to try and cram their real work into weekends, if they even have them. And yes, a lot of them come back from work and go straight to drinking and watching TV - because that's the only thing you can do to relax after you spend all your energy on a 8+ hour job and commute. It's a symptom.

Yes, if you remove artificial incentives to work, some people will stop working. Maybe a lot. They'll go drinking, spending time with friends, and trying to figure out what they really care about in life, now that they have time. And most will likely get bored after at most a month of drinking and start doing something productive. Because humans in general have the need to build, create and improve.

Things will have to be rearranged; some jobs automated, others maybe taken in short shifts out of the sense of social responsibility. But they will get done. Reality is not WALL-E.
He patented this five years ago.[1] Here's the 2015 paper.[2]

Flow rates are very, very low. Note the reference to the fluid source being a "Harvard Apparatus Syringe Pump".[3] That's just a motorized device for very slowly pressing the plunger on a syringe, for very low flow rates. If they're using that after five years of work, the process is still limited to very low flow rates.

This is not necessarily a killer limitation. Reverse osmosis started that way, but has been scaled up to industrial scale. But the technology is not here yet.

> To defend against duplicate messages, we employ an embedded key/value store - namely, RocksDB. RocksDB contains an in-memory Bloom Filter that we use to check for, and ignore, previously applied messages.

Wait, what? Can anybody explain this part? I don't understand how you could use a bloom filter for this. A bloom filter will have false positives by definition. When a false positive is encountered, the message would be ignored even though it has not been previously applied? I'm guessing the explanation is missing something as this seems a very straight forward issue to miss.
Basically, Fidelity lost money investing in private companies. Only reason the Fidelity private investment is in the black because of the higher valuation of Uber Series E round that "artificially" inflated the value of the Fidelity shares from previous Uber Series D round.
This has nothing to do with modern diet, the trend the GP is speaking is at least centuries old.

Traditional Chinese culture believes raw food damages the Qi of the Stomach. This belief may be grounded in the fact that their traditional way of fertilizing the crops is "night soil" or human excrement. Eating raw vegetables is a maladaptive behavior under those conditions.

It might be also linked with cooked foods being easier to digest. China has had high population densities - and therefore a recurrent problem with crop failure leading to famines - for many centuries (at least in the river valleys), so using non-eatable plants as an energy source to make human digestion more efficient is also an adaptive behavior.
And that includes something like 50 locales, which is a big chunk of the size (7MB?).

So I'd say that olfaction primitives probably number at least in the low hundreds. It seems as though just substituting a single functional group on an aromatic ring or changing the length of a carbon chain can affect human perception of the odor. Chirality usually matters. Orientation of the double bonds usually matters. Most frustratingly, concentration also matters. Indole smells like jasmine flowers at low concentrations and like poop at higher concentrations.

It may well be that we don't have dedicated words for smells because the IUPAC chemical naming conventions make them unnecessary. Also, most people don't need them. Professional aromatists would probably just say the chemical name, or use the perfumery primitives like the plant essential oils or resins, ambergris, civet, castoreum, hyrax, musk, and beeswax.

Esters are fruity. Linear terpenes are grassy or herby. Cyclic terpenes are woody or flowery. Substituted aromatics are flowery or herby. Amines are rotten or fishy. Thiols just plain stink.

Wine snobs can probably just make up whatever words they want to describe their noses and bouquets, because their words don't really transmit meaning most of the time, anyway.

Oh yes, SF's lack of new capacity is the driving factor in rental pricing, no argument. Holistically, rent control, density restrictions, and poor public transit all combine to form the final price.

But Fidelity isn't writing down the value of the company, it's writing down the value of its shares. Do you have any guesses as to what this means, given they are probably the most senior equityholders on this investment?

My suspicion (from experience in the mutual fund industry) is that this is tax accounting related. Overly simplistic explanation: Mutual funds typically distribute short term capital gains at year-end, which is taxed as ordinary income (~40%), not capital gains (~15%).

Managers of funds that hold private securities actually have the choice to 'mark down' the prices of their securities in any given month. Think of it like valuing a house - if you want to value your total net worth, you can mark your price as what you want, to an extent (see Trump). Managers often use this flexibility to 'bury' losses in down times, or for tax advantages.

Finally, can't agree enough about who loses in these cases. Employees who vastly over-value options are the folks who lose in this case. Investments made by institutional folks like Fidelity are too small to even register as a blip to their overall funds, and those funds are diversified and managed to handle downturns in sectors like this.

This is a pet peeve of a biologist I know: even though I know nobody who can determine species like he can, he's still very strongly against collecting mushrooms in the wild and does not do it himself. According to him there are just too many edible mushrooms with a poisonous look-alike which in some cases prefers the same surroundings as habitat and in for which the distinction can only be made by smell, or by squeezing it and see how the color changes, etc. Not sure he's exaggerating but it does illustrate why people die from eating mushrooms out of the wild, time and time again.

As much as I dislike cable due to all the advertising, I eventually signed up because I wanted to catch some NFL games (was just doing streaming Amazon, Netflix, etc for quite a while prior, with no NFL). I initially got an HD antenna, but reception was spotty where I live and some local channels wouldn't even come in. The amount of advertising on cable is really annoying, but it is a shame that it seems somehow very difficult or impossible to actually stream a live NFL game without having a cable or satellite package of some kind. Following online 'gamecasts' that don't actually show the video of the players on the field just isn't the same.

This is frustrating because it seems the NFL and television network providers have effectively made games impossible to watch live unless you go through the 'funnel' they want you to go through to watch it. Due to this, I've felt much less freedom of choice to select from what source I choose to obtain live NFL games, in comparison to movies, TV shows, etc, which I can generally end up finding on a streaming service of some kind to buy from.

A plus that I had forgotten about, is the on-demand stuff with a cable package, which is similar to the other streaming services I'm used to (usually no ads, or maybe one at the start of streaming), except it's nice to not have to pay for a season of a show (like I might on Amazon) if the station the show is on was paid for as part of the cable package.
