Well, maybe try Quassel?

That logs the logs in an SQL database, you can search with Quassel-Suche (a web-based search engine for quassel backends), and we have clients for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS (kinda) and Android (with a better Android client in beta) and a webclient.

You get contiguous logs like in Slack, Push Notifications (with the Android beta, soon), and you can search through your logs.

In fact, I don’t bookmark things in my browser anymore – I send them in a query to myself, and just use quassel-suche half a year later to find them, or, if there hasn’t been much activity in the channel, just scroll up (infinite scroll to load more logs).
Well here is a list of schools vs. salary: http://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report/bachelors

I think there are other complicating factors: if you go to school in a high paying area and end up staying in the area, then you get higher pay no matter the school.
That would be 10^80 which is much, much larger than 2^80.

Unrelated, but 2^80 isn't that astronomic when it comes to computers, considering that the entire Bitcoin network has performed 2^84 hashes.
I agree with your suggestion that "both sides tend to suffer from a tendency to not actually care about the truth."

> A decides to issue corporate bonds, because it doesn't want to dilute its shareholders. B decides to issue new equity instead, because they feel that their company stock is actually overvalued at the moment. Net result: A's market cap remains the same. B's market cap increased by $10B. No difference in future projected earnings/revenue between the 2 of them, but B now leads A in market cap.

Er, there is a difference: A added a bunch of future debt-service expense that B didn't; presumably the expansion that each A & B funded has future expected revenue, but A's future expenses cut into that, while B, with equity financing, didn't add expenses. So, B's actual value should be greater than A's, which the market cap in your scenario reflects.

There are good criticism of market cap as value, but yours isn't one of them.

Well, I mean dualistic things like the "binary oppositions" of Levi-Strauss' structuralism. Or Pythagoras' Table of Opposites: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_Opposites

Of course in the hard sciences you have electric charge, matter/antimatter, and I guess the spatial directions (up/down) and the more formal things like inside/outside. At that point I reckon we start slipping into philosophy.

Philosophers are aware that "inside/outside" is sometimes a vague distinction for objects of interest like humans and they now know better than to intentionally pursue a strong programme of dualism.

See e.g. https://www.umass.edu/complit/aclanet/DualFFem.html for comments on the kind of cultural ideas I'm referring to.

My point is not that opposites/oppositions don't occur in technology, but that they are rampant in much cultural production. I know a lot of artists who think the fact that computers use binary code validates some complex (or reductive) dualistic picture of the world. George Boole himself apparently had some funny dualistic ideas, of the kind later promulgated in "Laws of Form" by Spencer-Brown. Dualism is seductive and gets elaborated into huge (and often prejudiced) systems of values.

The reality is that most of what computers do is necessarily digital, but not necessarily binary. The bits are down there but they don't totally determine the nature of the software. Yes, bits correspond to on/off. Would you also say that "nut" and "bolt" are binary opposites? That's where I draw the line.

Neil Gershenfeld makes the non-centrality of binary pretty clear in his Edge interview/monologue:

You a not paying attention.

The title is 'A Lisp installer...' - not an 'interpreter'. Pay attention what it is about. The page also says: 'Roswell - Common Lisp environment setup Utility'

> and I just said I found Racket to be flawless in that regard since TECHNICALLY Racket is a Lisp

Can Racket set up a Common Lisp project? No. That's what this tool is about.

Racket is a descendant of Lisp. Not Lisp. It is nowadays its own language.

> which I find to be better for my personal programming especially with FP, though CL has great OOP.

The topic was about a new installer for Lisp, not an 'interpreter' and not 'Racket'.

Racket is great - this site even uses it - but the relevance here is near zero.

It's clear you have no understanding of markets. Price per share is meaningless. What is being compared is the market cap (Price per share * Number of shares outstanding). In other words, the total value of the company.

Also re: #4: "Building something perfect means you’ve spent too long on it."

It depends on what kind of product you're building. If you're building a consumer web site, it probably doesn't need to be perfect. However, if you're building a system that handles billion-dollar bond trades, it has to be perfect. One bug could cost you a thousand times the entire development cost of the system. Similarly for software that controls a car, a spacecraft or a medical device. No user is going to want to try out a car with an anti-lock braking system that doesn't function perfectly, no matter how nice the car looks.

At first I had a lot of anxiety because the mechanics of the game would penalize me pretty harshly if I was away for a few days/weeks and wanted to come back. The lizard part of my brain started urging me to play it in a way that was so urgent it felt like I could almost reach out and touch it.

But I had deleted the app from my device, and when I sat myself down and told myself that those urges had no weight because the consequences would never be felt since I wasn't going to play the game again.

The second sentence is the most important here - good work on getting rid.

70% of the revenue and (maybe) 80% of the profit of Apple comes from a single product - the iPhone. Apple themselves have given lower guidance going forward. There is a limit to the number of people buying iPhone at huge margins every year. The total units might continue to grow but not at the current margins and not as frequently. Hard to be bullish unless some other product takes off.
Re" being focused - There are organizational structures to counter that , and it isn't that they lack the money to invest.
Calling someone an "X company" means that they make their money from X. There are aspects of AI in targeted advertising, but not enough to call them an AI company rather than an advertising company. It doesn't really matter where they're going- that's what they aspire to be, not what they are. If you judge companies based on their aspirations, you end up judging them based on their most positive and idealistic version of themselves, rather than what they are, which is much more meaningful.

A much more cynical way to look at it is, judging a company based on its aspirations means judging them based on their marketing rather than their products, services, or actions.

Think of how differently Comcast would be perceived if everyone wanted to talk about the company Comcast wishes it was, rather than company that it is. Or any company you don't like for whatever reason.
> The shift from desktop to mobile should have the effect of reducing clicks.

Why? The shift from desktop to mobile means people spend more of their time with the opportunity to give clicks.
Extrapolate that from school to life and you start to see why graduates of these elite schools on the whole tend to be more successful.

And yet what this research and other studies like it are showing is that, for STEM majors, the kind of people you are talking about are equally successful regardless of where they go to school. The school itself doesn't add anything to their success; it's just that those who are going to be more successful anyway, regardless of school, are better at getting into harder-to-get-into schools.

And as for the connections, these comments keep talking about how the better schools give you better connections. If so, this research showing no mid-career earnings advantage suggests that if those "better" connections are worth anything at all, it isn't money or things that show up as more money such as better jobs, more access to jobs, more job stability, etc. My interpretation, though, and my own experience, is that the connections ARE worth money, but that birds of a feather soon flock together after graduation, regardless of where they went to school. Stanford and MIT engineers don't go to the same school, and if you have as much in common with them out in the working world as they have with each other, you will soon have similar connections and similar lives.

> They are getting better, every single year, over more than a decade, in a way that click growth outpaces traffic growth.

That they're getting better at it is why click growth outpaces traffic growth. If they stayed the same at it then click growth would equal traffic growth.

> It seems unlikely it's just targeting, without spilling over into something that's bad for consumers.

It could be one or the other or both. Care to present any evidence or reasoning as to why we should make one conclusion or the other?

The parent of your response points to an FTC report (an internal one that was leaked).

Within that report, they show how Google was able to tweak the questions until end users stopped liking something they did like with the previous set of questions.

The questions being tweaked were specifically about a type of site that competed with Froogle/Google Shopping that Google wanted demoted.
> Mobile viewers click on ads less often than desktop viewers.

> So, absent any other variables...if mobile traffic is growing faster than desktop traffic, year over year, click growth would slow.

Sure, assuming that actual total traffic growth is constant; if desktop to mobile transition accelerates overall traffic growth, the increase in mobile traffic can be enough to even at a lower click/traffic rate increase total clicks.

No, but who would it replace? Apple was only added last year, and there isn't that much turnover on it. There currently are no pure online companies on there, and despite the role of tech in today's world, only a few companies in the space (MSFT, Cisco, Apple, IBM)
Yes, it is. But it still uses an open protocol – so you can switch from IRCCloud to, say, Quassel[1] easily without having to recreate channels or permissions.

[1] Quassel is an IRC bouncer/client combination which handles things like backlog archiving and so on properly – you can connect with multiple clients at once, just scroll up to load more backlog, use web clients, windows/mac/linux/Android/iOS clients, etc.

(The backlog lives in an SQL database, so tools like Quassel-Suche can easily query it, and you can easily export it. I personally stopped using bookmarks, and just search for links through Quassel-Suche instead)
And the biggest ( opensource) alternative is :

Chrome fires up a separate thread for each tab. So any information about that tab is lost once the tab, (and thus sandbox) closes. No information specific to the tabs is stored in the window unless explicitly done (like bookmarking). Thus, the session history is stored inside that sandbox, so it's gone once it's closed.

Firefox is maintaining a window with tabs within it. So it can still keep your session info for each tab stored at the window level and restore it even after a tab is close.
Scenario 1: B's existing public equity and future EPS is diluted by the new issue, and the market cap should remain similar.
Scenario 2: A's share price now has a dividend stream implying future returns, which will increase the future value of the shares. Yes, the market cap will drop by $15B on the dividend date, but two similarly performing companies, one paying predictable dividends, and one not, should already be priced differently. I'll concede that the modern practice of just not paying dividends complicates this a bit, and biases the pricing toward pure speculation.

If you read more of the article, it says that the engineer came in about 30 minutes late due to an issue with a computer system before leaving New York.

Maybe such civilizations instead have value in limited reproduction and doesn't have the need for colonies all over their galaxy and incredible resource consumption.

Just because humans breed with no point or purpose and even invent religion to insist on unmitigated population growth, doesn't mean that's a value shared with a more intelligent alien race.

If anything, there is proof that more educated humans breed far less than their counterparts. Extend that further and imagine a planet the size of earth with only a few million sentient life forms. They might not feel the need to leave, outside of general exploration, but even then they might just use probes.

Which pretty much shows that the market value of a company is not based on what they sell today, but on the expectation of what they will sell tomorrow.

Does Apple do research in biotech (Alphabet's Calico)? Are they developing drones delivering wireless internet to the world (Google's Skybender)? Do they have an investment arm (Google Ventures)? Did they start an ISP (Google Fiber)?

People see Alphabet's increasing outreach that almost seems ludicrous. Then they compare this with Apple who seems to have been doing iPhones and iPads for 6-10 years, and doesn't seem to be interested in anything else (though this is slowly changing with Apple apparently getting into home automation and self-driving vehicles). It doesn't matter if it is true or not. This is what people perceive. This is what makes them value Google more than Apple. For all we know smartphones and tablets could be disrupted by another technology (the same way PCs were disrupted by phones and tablets) and Apple may not be ready for this next tech disruption, while Google is placing bets in many other markets.

How much of Google's profit(or even revenue) is not from tracking user data and advertising?

Search, Gmail, Android, Chromebooks, Nexus, Pixel, Youtube, Maps etc. everything is about selling advertisements after scanning user provided data.

The rest are either loss leaders or moats, or ones with unclear monetization scenarios like Fiber. One exception is GCE and GAE, but I don't know how much profit/revenue they're making. I would count Google Apps, but until recently they were scanning even paid Google Apps for Business accounts for ad tracking purposes.
For anyone following along at home, you missed a D at the very end (0x6D). A number whose hexadecimal representation ended in 6 couldn't be prime because it is even.

Google's flagship product is a box that you can type words into, and get relevant texts/references/facts in response. It seems like a textbook example of AI.
If you add in the same comparison to Facebook's numbers, the valuations look even more puzzling (using the most recent quarter):

* Apple's quarterly revenue: $75.9b
* Apple's quarterly profit: $18.4b
* Apple's market cap: $538.7b
* Apple's P/E ratio: 10.24

* Google's quarterly revenue: $21.3b
* Google's quarterly profit: $6.8b
* Google's market cap: 517.6b (pre-earnings)
* Google's P/E ratio: 35.37 (pre-earnings)

* Facebook's quarterly revenue: $5.84b
* Facebook's quarterly profit: $2.56b
* Facebook's market cap: $319b
* Facebook's P/E ratio: 89.22

Do investors really think Facebook can grow at the pace a 89.22 P/E ratio suggests? They're quickly reaching the point where everyone in the world who can get a Facebook account already has one. They're pushing hard to spread to poorer areas by offering Internet access, but how much marginal revenue/profit can a poor rural farmer add? If Facebook somehow magically increased their numbers tenfold at the same growth rate, which would make their numbers roughly match Apple's, the current P/E ratio would make them a 3.19 trillion dollar company.

People knock Apple for relying too heavily on iPhone revenue, but Google gets a pass because their even more unbalance reliance on search has a "bigger moat"? Their core product, ads, is something most people despise and put up with, not something they seek out. Let's hope that some of their moonshots actually pan out.
