The increase in life span at ages 40, 60, and 80 is still quite steady throughout the developed world,[1] and we've hardly even begun to apply powerful statistical techniques to national health care databases to identify best prevention and treatment practices better.

No no no, regulations have the force of law, and if you violate them you can be fined, jailed, banned from the industry, etc. This is serious.
Yeah, but I've only got a piddly little pseudo-enterprise grade system [1] that probably won't get any more updates. I still want to retain the functionality. Are the protocol extensions that SuperMicro use on top of IPMI (particularly the virtual CD-ROM) documented / supported by any other utilities. I did notice I get booted off the virtual console if I log out of the web interface - I hope the session itself isn't initiated by Java.

Revolving Door in the Tech Space?
Am trying to work out the extent of the revolving door that exists between technology vendors and analyst firms covering those vendors.

I can point to two CTO's at major tech vendors who used to be senior analysts at major tech firms, but am struggling to find other examples.

Am wondering if its as endemic as I suspect and what the effect on the tech space has been if any.

Any thoughts?
Antioxidants play a role in absorbing free radicals, which are unpaired electrons sitting on organic compounds inside the cell.

Free radicals are not entirely stable, and are mutagenic when they attach and break the phosphate molecules in the backbone of DNA (possibly leading to cancer).[1] These are dangerous because they can form reaction chains, which break molecule after molecule before finding a resting state. The antioxidants tend to give a more-stable resting state for the free radical, which makes it easier for your body to clear it.

Hence if your body has enough free-radical fighting antioxidants, it is more equipped to metabolize cancer-causing compounds.

We should better fund community colleges, and make pursuing a technical degree free. That is the degree whose goal is a job.

For a BA, MA, etc, the goal shouldn't be a job, but the pursuit of knowledge. Part of that is the value in knowledge itself, but it also gives you a broader skill set that can be applied to many kinds of jobs, where a technical degree is much more specialized.
But regulations are derived from statutes. What's more, they are enforceable in the same way as statutes. Regulations have what is referred to as the "force and effect of law".

You know those capsule hotels in Japan? I could easily see the same thing being implemented, except as appartments, in the US.

- You get there, strip down, leave your stuff in a locker, put a clean bathrobe on.

- Go to your room to sleep, browse the web on a tablet, watch a movie.

- Go to one of the many restaurants to eat a breakfast, lunch or dinner.

- Go to one of the many theatre rooms, to watch a movie, watch a live event, watch the news, etc.

- Go to the bathroom or shower (soap, shampoo, razor, deodorant, toothbrush included).

- Go to the gym, pool, spa, sauna, etc.

- Meet people. Play chess. Have a coffee.

You basically come back from work/life to a simple indoor resort every single day, and get to relax and disconnect for a while. You don't have anything to maintain or worry about. Calm, by yourself or with others, at the end of each day. That's the dream.

Most serious people know that human-level AI is possible in principle, because it is possible in humans. The only alternative would be to posit some nonsense spiritual explanation for intelligence. There are numerous predictions that someone will do it soon (not saying I agree with them, but they exist, and are occasionally made by serious people). Incremental progress has been ongoing in AI for years as well.

I can't really imagine how they could be more similar.
Go 1.6 Release Candidate 1 is released
I'm not a medical person but I've seen too many people who had bad side effects from general anesthesia and some who were never the same again.

From what I've seen and read (including my own experience) wisdom teeth aren't taken out under general anesthesia, they're taken out under sedation. Now you might think "what's the difference" and to be fair they are on a spectrum, as opposed to it being a binary difference. But "general anesthesia" tends to be a much more serious scenario, where your heart rate and respiration are strongly affected by the anesthetic and you may need mechanical ventilation, etc. during the procedure. Sedation is nowhere near as invasive and you are usually actually conscious during the procedure (or can be awakened easily by the doctor). It feels like you're out the whole time because one of the drugs they use is a hypnotic agent that causes short-term amnesia.

It just happens by means of taxes instead. Right now, banks get a pretty hefty profit off those that can't afford it upfront, it's a tax on the poor (and often middle class) more than the rich.
I missed the joke. Either way- hope you get everything up and running soon!
No, but there's recently been a lot of talk about the Hidden Tear ransomware source being taken off of GitHub soon. Given that the author has already been blackmailed and all the drama surrounding that, this is a possibility.
That was my point, which I should have made more clearly. There is a good deal of research going on into what causes aging, and it seems likely it will pay off sooner or later in ways of delaying it.
Speaking of Sydney, are there many tech companies that allow remote work in Australia? (I'm a software developer, primarily .NET but also C++ and embedded firmware FWIW).

Are there any job sites / directories specifically for finding remote-work jobs?

As a fellow Aussie I'd love to work remotely, but I don't necessarily want to work for an overseas company, for example.
People do not blindly spend on advertising. For most people there will always be alternatives and they will compare the eventual conversion.

Online advertising is remarkably free market sort of business where fraud does not last longer.
Sounds good to me, thanks to Let's Encrypt. All my personal sites are now on https and HTTP/2 (thanks to Go 1.6). I don't use ads so I have nothing blocking me from https.

The only situation where I still want to use HTTP is one page I serve, which uses websockets, and I don't want to use secure websockets, but that's the only exception.

I'm glad to be in this boat. Once again, it's mostly thanks to Let's Encrypt being awesome, and I'm thankful to it.
hmm ya this is a good point.
I agree with just about everything you said except that Australia is really just home to one country. or am I about to learn something new?

I think we'll see the end of organ donors in our time. Growing fresh organs on scaffolds from adult stem cells has already been done. The first transplant of a lab grown body part has already been done. [0]

Eliminating the need for a donor registry and transplanting organs with almost no risk of rejection (and no taking drugs for the rest of your life) would be species-altering (I really don't think I'm exaggerating) - and it would have saved the lives of at least two people I was related to. Growing working complex organs has been done, but not transplanted in humans yet. It's also crazy expensive. But it becoming generally available is something I think I'll live to see.

That alone, forget everything else that will likely happen in my lifetime, disproves that point completely. IMHO.

Isn't that the point though? I had 2 of mine removed at 19.. A jab of local anasthetic, some tugging with some pliers (I'm sure the dentist might call them something else) and 20 mins later I was sitting in a lecture at university.

That certainly wasn't major surgery.

The big question mark for me is whether FB will be the advertising giant to finally crack the attribution nut.

You see, the age old problem of "I know I'm wasting half my budget, I just don't know which half" is still alive and well. These days, we have SO MUCH data about cross-channel attribution that it can be hard to plot a path forward (and that's if you are even aware of this concept and its implications).

For those who are savvy, display and video CPMs might seem a bit inflated right now. There is a major opportunity to leverage analytics to prove to advertisers the incremental lift of their display and branding efforts. Dedicated attribution services like VisualIQ, Adometry, and Convertro have been getting snapped up by big advertisers, but so far nothing has really reached the SMB and mid-market level for solution pricing.

I'd LOVE to spend more of my budget on FB and display, but when they mix view-throughs in with click conversions by default, that raises red flags. What is the value of a view-through? It is sure as heck not 100% attribution credit, which is what the default would place it at.

Attribution is a super deep and very complex subject (and one I'm very passionate about). Getting better visibility is my top priority for 2016 as it is many other advertisers. Structuring proper tests is unfortunately not just a software issue, particularly with smaller businesses with less data as you need to control for many factors.

That said, Google has fired the first shots in this fight with their awesome basic attribution tools in GA that they give away FOR FREE. I'm dying to see what they do with their Adometry acquisition and whether they will make that available to the masses.

FB has a huge opportunity here and I know they've been making inroads in this area with Atlas, but I'd personally love to see them release "Facebook Analytics" as a direct competitor to Google Analytics, and make a real effort to prove the value of their inventory from an incremental lift/attribution standpoint.

I'd LOVE to spend more on branding if I could be more certain of the actual impact it is making to allow me to justify the budget I'm putting towards it compared against more directly measurable options lower in the funnel (like some aspects of paid search, which has its own attribution issues). The tools just aren't there though.

If FB can provide advertisers with the tools to more definitively say "this is making you money" and not just "oh, we summed up all these random stats and call it Engagement--look at the shiny engagement metric!" I'm confident they would find advertisers even more willing to open their wallets, shift spend away from the GDN and exchanges, and stop questioning or caring about click fraud since it would be a self-correcting issue (ie. high levels of click fraud would in theory result in lower perceived incremental lift if proper analysis was conducted).

If you are at FB and touch Insights or anything related to attribution on Atlas, please dear god contact me--I live right near HQ and would LOVE to have a deep conversation on how to improve this for advertisers.

One slip up by your anesthesiologist and you are kaput. Doctor's are people who make mistakes. Minimise risk.

Technically true, but the kind of sedation used for wisdom teeth removal is nowhere near as disruptive to your body as the general anesthesia you'd be under for, say, open heart surgery. The kind of sedation used for that is the same (or very close) to what they use for placing stents, doing arthroscopic surgery, etc. I can't even imagine how many patients are sedated every day around the US and there doesn't seem to be any epidemic of people having adverse reactions.
I think the "on average" was clearly implied.
It seems to be endemic to these biotech darlings: 23 & Me pulled the same thing and faced the same consequence. They thought as a tech prima donna that they did not have to adhere to the FDAs medical device regulations (or even publish efficacy data). They got smacked in the mouth - serves them right.
When I had my wisdom teeth removed in Australia - they were impacting and causing me some very real grief - I had them taken out under local lidocaine. My dentist was of the view that general was overkill and would simply be more expensive for very limited gain.

In Australia I know it's fairly common to have general anaesthetic for wisdom teeth, but I'm not sure we're quite as into preemptive removal as the US seems to be by the looks of this article?
No legal justification for any of this. We live in a simulacrum of democracy.

I built a lunch voting website for our Friday company lunch for this very reason.

No more arguments, although there's significantly more horse trading!

Probably the best way to decrease the cost of living is to balance information asymmetry so that buyers know everything that sellers know when transacting. Price comparison and fighting predatory businesses is a start, but too much commerce revolves are arbitrage and exploiting the vulnerability of being uninformed.

Balance out the knowledge gap and consumers will be able to transact directly with producers, bringing down costs across the board.
What gave you this impression?
It's definitely an excellent point that a basic income would only solve part of the problem associated with lower need for labour. I'm sure there are many more startups that could be founded around the expected increase in numbers and breadth of retired people. There are plenty of things that people can do to be active and engaged when not working; it's just that often they don't. Making these activities more accessible, or accessible in different ways, surely provides some opportunities.
I agree with just about everything you said except that Australia is really just home to one country. or am I about to learn something new? Oh I see the shelf includes other islands

Property tax doesn't go nearly far enough. LVT would replace income tax for the majority of workers.

Right now tax on capital gain is far less than income tax.
You're quite right; people significantly overestimate the safety of NAT in my experience.

But what I was getting at is that however illusory the safety of NAT is, the author seemed to be instinctively assuming that his IPv6 devices had it, because we've spent 20 years training ourselves to assume that everything is behind NAT. It's a new world.

Oh wow I've actually heard of this before thanks for the tip.
Companies/people don't learn on their mistakes. Almost everything is on GitHub nowadays. This makes it a SPOF even if Git itself is distributed. More companies should host their projects on premises. There are good open source alternatives to GitHub: Apache Allura, Fossil, GitBucket, GitLab, Phabricator, and Redmine.
You can continue to work. For example I skipped pushing to Github but I can push to Heroku. No problem. I'll push my code when it is up again.
LVT is set by location. Property prices are set by location.

LVT can't be passed onto renters. It does stop land speculation. It's the opposite of what you say.

If LVT could be passed onto renters then why, given the market can apparently bear higher prices, are our genius landlords not charging us more already? That's how prices are set my friend, they don't sum up the input costs and add 5% profit.
This is an incredible visualization and article.
"The Anaheim Police Department has acknowledged in new documents that it uses surveillance devices known as Dirtboxes—plane-mounted stingrays—on aircraft flying above the Southern California city that is home to Disneyland, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world."

According to the United States Census Bureau Anaheim County has a population of 346,997 (2014). Not being from the US, the fact that a county police from an area with a population of 350k is able to afford to buy and operate airplanes amazes me.
As you already noted, this doesn't seem much like basic income (as payment regardless of employment is the sine qua non of basic income). This just seems like an augmented salary, slightly unusually paid out.

Here's the thing that most people don't know unless they are in the "industry":

* The gaming industry is most likely driving a lot of this growth. I'm sure Machine Zone and Supercell are doing between $5M - $10M a day on FB alone.

* FB is re-defining attribution. They want to bring in big brands and are re-defining last-click to "Multi-touch". Their end game ofcourse is to say the reason why you decided to make a trip to Macys is because you first saw Macys content on FB.

* FB requires developers to send them analytics when they want attribution for Ads. This means that not only does FB have info about the install, but they have all the data about the usage, in addition to all their demographic data.

* FB still is the only reliable source for advanced targeting of ads. This has massive impact on ROI for performance marketers.

* FB by far has the best tools for advertisers with so many bells and whistles that resellers like Nanigans can make a healthy margin just by managing the optimization.

* FB allows any performance marketer to form a closed loop feedback system. Are CPI's on FB high? Yes. But if you know the LTV of your user (now possible with proliferation of analytics tools) you can afford to bid very high at volume (eg Uber) and still get a great ROI.
I don't see why narcolepsy should be a problem, especially in our area. I mean sure, meetings and stuff like that might be harder to do, but our industry is/should be lenient to things like office hours.

I blame scrum. Or, more specifically, people who drink the cool-aid and don't understand the actual purpose.

I've interviewed at I-don't-even-remember-how-many companies that claim to offer extremely flexible hours, or don't care about telecommuting, just make sure you deliver... until you tell them that you can't promise to be there for the daily stand-up at 9am. This is typically justified by "it's only one meeting a day!", but if that one meeting is in the middle of the night for you because you work in a different time zone, or you can't make it in till 10 because you've got kids to take care of, etc., etc.... that doesn't really seem so reasonable anymore.
I don't care what size the room is when I sleep. A bed is for sleeping, or passive entertainment. This doesn't require more than 2x1x1.

The government and cities have restriction concerning living spaces. I am not allowed to live in a tiny house, I can't rent an appartment that's smaller than a certain size. I wish I could pay $100/month for just a bed, a sink, a power outlet, wifi and controlled climate (21 degree celcius).
