Structural engineer here: Buildings and bridges do not use 5, give us a little credit

We mostly assume that materials are 90% as strong as they say they are, that the building weighs 1.2 times as much as it really does, and that stuff in the building weighs 1.6 times as much as it really does. The total factor of safety is something like 1.5.

The reason that buildings don't vibrate (noticably under service loads) is that people would get queasy, so we design things for stiffness as well as strength. Aircraft are more space and weight limited, and no one is sitting on the end of the wing, so the engineers mostly just care that everything will stay attached.
Not usually illegal, but grounds for disciplinary action or firing. There are many cases of the government punishing employees for inappropriate speech while on the job. Garcetti v. Ceballos (2006) is a Supreme Court decision finding that some speech of public employees is not protected.

And then there's the Hatch Act (1939), which prevents most federal employees from engaging in activity that could be seen as political.
I've come across thoughts about death mostly in Buddhist literature. This is a great introduction to the western Christian outlook on it. Thanks!

I also wanted to recommend Atul Gawande's excellent "Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End" to help get a more visceral understanding of death. He talks about how the human body starts degenerating as early as we hit 30, and paints a memorable picture of how every next moment is a moment closer to our death.

Unfortunately, desert sand is specifically not useful for one of the largest industrial uses: Concrete. The weathering of sand in a wind-blown environment reduces the sharp edges and makes it significantly less strong. The ideal in concrete sand is as sharp and as new as possible. It is also ideal that it be dust-free, since dust and other very fine particulates also negatively effect strength.
The impressive thing is that he waited until FB was over $100 to sell. Facebook was faced with a huge uphill battle with Wall Street. Each time they had solid earnings, the stock would go down on fears of young people not using the service or their inability to monetize mobile properly or that they overpaid for Instagram.

Wall Street finally caught on that it is a social network in a league of their own and a company that makes solid decisions, but it took a long time and Marc could have easily sold along the way.

Andreessen stuck through all of that to make it to $100+. It seems like he felt like it was time to cash in. Rightfully so. FB will be just fine moving forward.

Thank you François for the explanation. If you are reading this, did you evaluate various information sources (Ghostery, etc.) before settling on Disconnect? It would be valuable to everyone to know the results of that research; users mostly have to trust the various vendors without knowing how effective they really are.

OT: Does anyone understand why Mozilla publishes valuable information like this over random personal blogs, rather than a central place like a knowledge base (e.g., a wiki)? It makes discoverability, both when the information is published and more importantly when I need it, very difficult.

I know about Planet Mozilla, their aggregated blog feed, but the signal-to-noise ratio is much too low (which isn't a criticism of the content, I just don't have time or interest in that much detail about Mozilla).
REALLY bad article. Don't waste your time.
But they do claim it will improve traffic. But in reality the induced traffic will offset the improvements due to the extra road space.

Given all the negative externalities of extra driving today, building more roads seems less than helpful.

My experience running 2x startups in EU is that while lower salaries (esp Dev) helps at seed stage, in addition to government schemes like SEIS, scaling at SV pace is not possible without SV money. The best product in the world still needs consistent paid PR and advertising to acquire users - even viral growth needs a great social and content team to compete with a SV counterpart. These cannot be scaled cheaply. When the 1st round of EU unicorn founders sell out and start investing - then things will get interesting. Problem is - I don't have faith in many of the EU start ups being touted as unicorns, especially when I compare them to AirBnB, Dropbox, Stripe et al.
But Nassim doesn't tweet anymore, no?

That's an interesting point. I wonder if the reason why startup culture thrives so much is because a lot of the VC's/Investors are ex-engineers who made their wealth from their own companies... and there is a better understanding in SV of what it takes to succeed (and how to handle failure).
To some extent - yes. E.g. you can run R in a Python notebook; just each R cell need to be started with '%%R' (and one need to load rpy2).

My grandfather, while studying law in the Philippines was drafted to fight for the United States Armed Forces of the Far East (USAFFE) during WWII.

I am thankful for what he has done so I can live the life I have now. In return I try to contribute to society the way I know best by writing software for startups, SpaceX, and now EdgeCast.
That's kind of an interesting one: consider two configuration languages. The first is not turing complete and can be considered a good language. The second is an identical copy of the first, but includes the ability to have recursive definitions which ends up making it turing complete.

Is the second language really worse than the first? They can both be used the same way, but the second one can allow for some shortcuts in configuration by abusing turing completeness.

I'd guess the arguments would be: the 2nd language is better, it can create an identical configuration in less lines. Alternatively: the 1st language is better as should allow for easier parsing and is simpler to verify for correctness.

Sorry about this, I'm struggling a bit. Isn't the "load observed over the life of an aircraft" just a statistical distribution? Therefore a maximum doesn't make a lot of sense. It would make more sense to talk about standard deviations away from the mean unless the maximum was "maximum ever recorded in our dataset"

if you can be the arbiter of said education then i'd suggest you educate wellyWellyWell, wWW, about Bell's Inequality and its innate response to wWW's comment

if i were to guess why you brought up Bell i'd guess it was because you read wWW's comment as suggesting classical mechanics can explain superposition with a robust enough measurement, but that Bell shows that classical mechanics are are too 'silly' to explain quantum mechanics?

i find that science as a verb often is the act of discovering previous understandings were inadequate to describe phenomena, yet pedantry is more often used to squelch skepticism stead stoke the flame of investigation

> the ones whose jobs exist precisely for the purpose of giving advice to the government.

That's sort of an odd way to frame it--it makes it sound like these people are only hired to interpret scientific literature for their superiors, or to conduct standard lab tests. On the contrary, many of these scientists conduct basic scientific research. There's no "advisory" value to that work--it is not intended for immediate policy decisions, but rather for the long-term advancement of scientific knowledge.

Basic scientific research is a collective effort, and the only possible outcome you could expect when preventing scientists from sharing their research with the greater scientific community is the prevention of scientific progress. Assuming rational actors, I cannot fathom another motive.
I mean everything west of 8th Ave, and north of the 14th st, so I mean both west Chelsea and Hell's kitchen / Midtown West. "Lower west side" really isn't an unambiguous region in the first place, but I agree the natural interpretation is probably south of where I meant.

I've been bitten before by assuming a bear market, pulling out, and then seeing things recover, so I'm much more careful now and have not completely pulled out. Large investors that really don't need those extra boatloads of gold they might get if they miss an upswing have been pulling out, though, to avoid risk.

The article's explanation is a bit simplified. It sounds like his explanation is more akin to a body freedom flutter response where the aircraft's short-period mode is coupled to the structural response. What he observed is probably closer to a more classical flutter response with the wing's bending and torsion coupled. A gust hits the wing, which increases the load, this increases the bending deformation which can also induce torsion causing a twist in the wing. At too high of a speed (the flutter speed), the response is unstable and can quickly become catastrophic. At normal speeds, the oscillation will tend to die out as the restoring force of the structure and the damping from the structure, aerodynamic loads and controls causes the response to die out. Interestingly, you can go past the first flutter speed of an aircraft with a properly designed control system (aeroservoelasticity) meaning you can get away with a lighter (read, more flexible) wing structure.

While I believe you, it seems weird, since they're in the business of purchasing multi-million dollar objects. So there's money coming through, although maybe they can't use it for that?

I have never met a person who has many outward connections and is depressed the assumption is that those connections are real.

It was tedious last time I tried because you had to remember what windows are tiled and what floated and explicitly switch between the layers. And only rotating was supported, not Alt-Tab style LRU switching. Alt-Tab works the best for the most common case of 2 "hot" windows because you don't have to remember the order of the windows regarding rotation.
Hi Mike,

This is my first post here so I will try to fit to how things work here.

François Rabelais wrote this sentence: “Science without conscience is the soul's perdition.”

The aim of a programmer is to deeply learn how things work and to be able to learn it fast. In my opinion, the best way to reach this point is to FACE the problem BEFORE possessing the appropriate knowledge.

This approach allows you to get way more knowledge from the course/guide/whitepaper because it will answer to many sub-questions had in mind. Many hackers use this method to learn tremendously complex things.

How have you dealt with the issue of byzantine streams? This is something that we have wanted to solve for a while, but it's a really nasty issue -- and at the recent OpenZFS Developers Summit we concluded that it wasn't practical. Instead, we're looking to tack more towards signed ZFS streams[1] -- though that work is only in the design stage. How has rsync.net solved this?

I really miss having proper type inference in Scala. I'll admit, the "we will infer the types as whatever javac would have said they should be from left to right" is a lot more effective than one would think, but still feels rather primitive.

Something being possible doesn't necessarily mean it's not a problem. Nobody is saying it is impossible to have a startup in Europe -- there are startups in Europe, of course it is possible. The issue is that having a startup in Europe is far harder to start and harder to scale which means there are far less startups in Europe and to have a successful startup is a higher bar.

If this still isn't clear, you can try comparing it to being a female tech founder in the 00s. It was possible and some people did it - but it was very challenging and there were more roadblocks making it difficult to succeed. Changing the culture a bit has already had an effect on this in the last couple years. Changing the European startup culture could create great gains there too.

Essentially Zuckerberg treated the IPO process with contempt, was cavalier and unorthodox, offending many Wall Streeters. 'The Hoodie' legend exploded during this period, as did perception that Facebook was hopeless on mobile AND had poor leadership.

Both turned out to be false, as FB post-2012 found a way to monetize mobile and Zuckerberg grew into his role as CEO, now telling jokes in Chinese and managing the press more effectively.
