I believe it completely. This was one of the first effects I felt, before I had gotten deep into the literature. I remember after being on keto for a week, I was walking through a parking lot, and all of a sudden it was like my head popped through the clouds. I had a sudden burst of energy, my anxiety dropped, and I felt like skipping to the car. The keto flu disappeared, and I felt HAPPY for the first time in years. All in the course of 5 minutes. Over the next few weeks, I realized this had extended to my work as well: I felt focused, clear-headed, and able to work more quickly than I had in years. I used to get 1-2 migraines per month. I haven't had one in two years. I started the diet for weight loss (70 lbs now), unaware of the other benefits. It turns out this is starting to be supported by literature, though it is still a new area of study.

I started this because of my work in the pediatric epilepsy department I worked in. Nearly all of the kids that came through were put on a very low carb diet; it significantly reduced or eliminated the seizures in about 60%+ of the cases. Naturally, I wondered what was going on. It turns out that there are a number of neurological benefits. It has been shown to treat bipolar disorder [1], schizophrenia[2,3], ADHD[4], and so on. A lot of these are small studies. I am fine with that. If you have a patient who has been schizophrenic for 50 years, and no medication has worked, then a dietary change reverses most symptoms in a week, I feel comfortable saying something significant is happening, even with N=1. (A few years back at a Society for Neuroscience meeting, some NIH director made the point that if I say I have engineered a flying pig with wings, and bring it out on stage as proof, it doesn't make sense to say repeat it 10 or 100 times; the proof is sitting in front of you!). I have only cheated twice in two years, and both times I was groggy for days, and felt the depression creeping back. I realized this was how I ALWAYS felt previously.

Yes. The "let's move on" bit is a tell. It doesn't mean, "this is so obvious that everybody will agree once they think about it." It's a plea to stop thinking about it so as not to disturb his gut-level conclusion.

I can forgive that on some topics. We all have things we'd rather not think about, biases we're inclined to protect. But when the basic line of argument is, "I want to indulge my just-world bias [1] so please let's let young kids continue to live in misery" it seems monstrous to me.

All the books mentioned in the article are links to Amazon. Which is why I ultimately think Waterstones is still doomed; I kept going in until recently, but even when I saw a book I liked, I'd be put off by how heavy the paper edition was.

Still, the lesson is a good one. Many people are good at their jobs if you trust their judgement and delegate responsibility.

The reason I didn't mention encryption in my last article is because trying to defeat it would be a complete waste of time. The PS4 probably uses AES (like the PS3 and PS Vita), which is the same type of encryption used by the U.S. government.

Argh! No! Keep at the encryption!

The only exception to this is would be for implementation mistakes such as the PS3's infamous use of the constant 4 instead of what should have been a random number.

Whilst it is unlikely that Sony has made another mistake like this in the core of the PS4's encryption...

Argh! No! Look for other stupid mistakes!
>Oh yeah, there will always be a place. But that's not what really matters, but the size of that place. Cloud-based productivity systems can replace native apps for over 90% of all corporate functions (marketing, HR, sales, etc.).

Or that's what those that built them think.

Then they found out performance and latency make it a non starter, and those "10% of features" that people use from Word, Powerpoint etc, are not the same 10% of everybody, so minimal web based replacements wont cut it.

What impresses me is that you described a good ability to deal with failure, and called it "less able to deal with failure". Because if you can ignore setbacks and achieve what you want, such that it's a "real advantage" where "the rich stay rich", that's a good quality to have.

Imagine if you said that at a job interview. "What's your greatest weakness?" "I think I can achieve great things (or make money, or whatever) and I don't let failure stop me." That's not a weakness.

Most of this article sounds familiar from frequently visiting Waterstones, it really has improved remarkably, the selection of books that people would actually read is excellent, the sci-fi section expanded and they moved it to the second floor (which made sense, ground floor is prime real estate for shifting volume and sci-fi isn't (mostly) volume).

They put a Cafe in on the 2nd floor which is nice if you just want to grab a coffee after a browse or buy your book and go read it with a coffee.

The staff where always pleasant and helpful so that hasn't really changed.
>I'm not implying the web-based solutions are the only which will exist in the productivity suite market. But they are where the mass market is moving to.

Any actual evidence for this in the Office suite space? Because I don't see it happening at all. It was an empty promise of 5-6 years ago, same as "Year of the Linux desktop" never came to be.

For mail and collaboration (Slack, Jira, Asana etc), sure, web solutions will prevail. After all those things are all about the social, collaborative features the web brings to the table.

Insightful, and chimes absolutely with my experience.

I live near Oxford, UK, where we have the peerless Blackwells, an academic-biased but broad-based bookshop (http://bookshop.blackwell.co.uk/stores/oxford-bookshop/about...) where you can literally get lost for an afternoon. I would typically walk straight past Waterstones on the way there.

Now, since the Daunt era began, I spend almost as much time in Waterstones as I do in Blackwells. Waterstones is where I go if I want to be surprised with a new book I haven't yet heard of. The 'new titles' displays on the ground floor often showcase books from smaller publishers which I'd never have found myself. "Curated" is an overused word these days, but it's exactly what they're doing, and doing well.

What the article doesn't mention is that Waterstones, under previous ownership, took over other good UK bookshop chains - notably Ottakars and Dillons. This was generally met with rending of garments and gnashing of teeth, because Waterstones at the time was the lowest common denominator High Street bookshop. But Waterstones now is better than I remember Ottakars or Dillons ever being.

Sorry then it was my bad English, as I'm no native speaker, as "Do you really think profiling is so ..." I did not understand as a honest inquiry, mainly because of your usage of "really" and your unconventional - I might say defensive - use of "Imho" in "Imho, I cannot see what Matlab ..." where I understood "Imho" as "In my humble opinion" expanded to "In my humble opinion, I cannot see what ...".

Also your words with the easy usage of "stupid" led me - wrongly! - into the direction that you might not be interested in understanding why users prefer Matlab, but more in expressing your opinion about the topic.

And to be frank, again perhaps due to my weak understanding of English, your usage of "You figure out who's who." and "Have a nice day" to me do not sound as the intention of trying to understand things but more on making clever remarks. But as I've pointed out, this might be due to the fact that English is not my native tongue.

And from this article about a different system:

> A national police database contains up to 18 million "custody suite" photos - hundreds of thousands could be of innocent people.

Many of those people will be those arrested for an offence, but not cautioned or tried. (To be clear here: they really didn't do the crime, not just they weren't convicted of a crime).

He's saying trying to bruteforce the encryption keys is the wrong way to go about it, instead opting to find an exploit.
Reason why Sony open source their version of LLVM is to make it easier (cheaper) to maintain it. So it's commercial interest and it's unlikely to change because it's wouldn't affect how soon it's going to be hacked at that point anyway.

It's just like with previous "Linux on PS3" that was mainly done by Sony to decrease taxes as they could pay less if their system can be considered as general purpose PC and not just gaming console. On the time that feature was removed this trick just didn't make sense anymore.
A good leader is not someone that say "use this because I say so", but someone that convinces you that is the best solution.

They should at the very least give some rationale to all their decisions/advices. With a design decision it might be hard to produce metrics and data on the spot, but they should be able to quickly draw on the whiteboard the overall architecture, with some pros and cons.

And this probably something you should do with less senior people.

I'm sure the moderators think they're doing their best. But there is no transparency ( e.g. there's nothing like lobste.rs' moderator actions log ), and as a result I'm not at all sure that they are managing conflicts of interest well. The only discussion I was lucky enough to spot in the process of being disappeared was http://readwrite.com/2012/12/03/lets-all-shed-tears-for-the-... which, while not exactly the kindest writing I've ever seen, contained some real insight and was generating a productive discussion - and the conflict of interest is pretty clear. And neither of us have any idea how many other discussions get killed like that.
I see your point and you're right, this is a potential problem - mostly because networking this system would make consequences explode out of proportion. Maybe some appeal system could resolve that?

As a side note: I support the right of store owner to punish dick customers. I believe society needs to have stronger mechanisms to penalize douchy behaviour.
I came from scientific background (but turned into data science). From that perspective, I've benefited a lot from the "design" site of data visualization. I got a lot of inspiration by D3.js (even the color choice). Another example is ggplot2 in R - while many plots can be done with the base library, it's much more pleasant to create aesthetically appealing plots.

Sure, it is important to distinguish between goals. But to me "arts" and "vis" are rather two axes, than categories. And I enjoy (and benefit from) the cross pollination between these disciplines. (In this line "the only benefit" is to me far more important than the urge to label things.)

I'll second MySQL Workbench. For me the other big win over PhpMyAdmin is the security. With PhpMyAdmin, you have to install it on the server you're managing. Which exposes your app to all the security bugs that PhpMyAdmin could possibly introduce. What I love about MySQL Workbench is that it takes a completely different approach; you actually ssh into your server to manage it. It's just a GUI on top of the mysql command line. I'm not saying that PhpMyAdmin is inherently insecure, just that if a bug does exist, you've just exposed your production server to said bug.

I would call it satire, i.e. putting a humourous spin on a serious subject. But I will respond to your post in a serious manner nonetheless.

Your second sentence perfectly illustrates the point the article is trying to make, that "the increasing moralisation of mundane choices is strongly associated with the phenomenology of interminable inescapable guilt". As the article argues, when we overload our moral judgements by making every single act a moral deliberation, one measurable effect will be an overall lessening of our moral convictions.

Yes, you only vote a few times every odd years. No, your tax dollars are not "channeled in a particular direction". Yes, business interests are still fundamentally at odds with environmental concerns. No, the few pennies you spend on products of a particular business do not affect the business' behaviour. The amount of moral deliberation that is reasonable to "demand" for such a simple act should be proportional to the ratio of your expenditure versus the entire business size.

> And yes ethical consumption is complicated. A good starting point is to assume everything is tainted unless you know otherwise

I don't think this is a useful starting point. If you start by assuming everything is tainted, you are already making a moral judgement about every purchase. Judgements and decisions cost mental energy, and we already know that mental energy is not infinite.

> That is, dont be pit off from trying to do one thing right just because you can't do everything right.

But that is exactly what's happening subconciously anyway: if we perceive (some of) our morals to be untenable (because of unrealistic demands, no way to actually make an impact, or general information/decision overload), that causes us to weaken all of our morals, even the ones we can affect.

Pick your battles, is what I'd take from this. And when evangelizing a cause, make sure the burden you're placing on others is realistic.
Picking the right data structure and algorithms gets your code in the right algorithmic complexity range - did you implement a naive linear algorithm, or did you figure out a way to make it logarithmic? Or maybe even average-case constant? Compilers are generally not good at making optimizations that change complexity class. (Possible, yes, but not commonly.)

That's not what jordigh is talking about. Let's say you figured out a clever way to get your problem to O(log n). That's definitely your job. But in practice, constants matter - that is, 10 log n is way, way worse in practice than 2 log n, even though they are both O(log n). And that's the kind of optimization that compilers may be better at than you. Once you have convinced yourself that the performance of some component matters, a good principle is to figure out the best complexity class you can (using the "right" data structures and algorithms), then write the most idiomatic code possible.
The vast majority of who? If you mean a vast majority of your customers calling into a support center, I'd argue that is a very small amount. I'd venture to say very few of peers in my circles call into support outside of account level tasks.

Most of the article reads as a stylized joke, written to make Hotz seem like a Tony Stark sort of figure.

I'm sure he has a good handle on the tech running the car, he's at least looked at licensing it to test on the freeway (learning from the backlash on the Jeep Hack), and he had tested the car extensively before inviting a reporter with children to test it at 70mph on the freeway.

If you include these details and less of the sassy dialogue and flourishes of panache [1], you get a less interesting article.

Bloomberg goes for sexy. Take their reporting with a grain of salt. It's more art than facts-based.

[1] At one point, the virtual-reality company Oculus Rift failed to man its booth at a job fair, and Hotz took it over, posing as a recruiter and collecting résumés from his fellow students. None of this was enough to keep him interested. “I did two semesters [at CMU] and got a 4.0 in their hardest classes,” he says. “I met master’s students who were miserable and grinding away so that they might one day earn a bit more at Google. I was shocked at what I saw and what colleges have become. The smartest people I knew were in high school, and I was so let down by the people in college.”
