This is a cool demo, but why would someone want to have all these long running events on the screen at all times? It makes the UI cluttered and less clear what the next thing is you need to be doing. For example, do I really need the fact that I'm on vacation to be taking space at the side of the screen at all times? I'm not going to forget. This kind of design makes it easier for me to miss things I need to remember to do, perhaps defeating the point of using a calendar app
Fair enough, few would buy an iPhone instead of a PC. But I consider anti-consumer behavior partially a question of ethics, not just a factor in practical buying choices; and I don't think there is a good reason to have different ethical standards for, or generally to separate in such considerations, desktop and mobile OSes, and in particular reject the idea held by some (maybe not you) that the latter are less important as general computing devices because they're for "content consumption" or whatnot. So when comparing Microsoft's behavior to Apple's, to me all their devices are relevant.

I have seen my wife's Windows 10 computer upload crap from time to time and I suspected but could not confirm that it is this. How is this even possible, given that we're behind a NAT? TCP simultaneous open, I suppose?

I've not yet been able to figure out how to block these shenanigans. I really don't appreciate MS/Akamai profiting off of my (rather limited) upload bandwidth.
They're worried about people in the future who may not know about radioactive waste. This location will be dangerous for a very long time in a way that's invisible.

Carbon dioxide is certainly a concern, but most of its problems will never produce a place that people shouldn't stumble or explore because of unseeable danger.

I often think of the story of the Goiânia accident to be applicable. Four people ended up dead because two people stole something they thought might have value but was radioactive.[1]

It is prudent to assume that dangerous waste should be disposed of in a way that assumes there won't always be guards.

There is a very big difference between going to an info session/mixer with no intentions to join, and going on an interview. Companies I know want as many engineers going to network and learn about what they are doing. Things can change in the future, and these are casual events.

Going on a "practice" interview is a bad practice because everyone's time is wasted. There are lots of resources for practicing your interview skills without misleading someone.

> Eat a variety of food and try to avoid as much processed food as possible.

"Vegetable oil" is the most processed of all food ingredients. Almost all cheap vegetable oils are extracted with solvents (Hexane) and steam-treated to remove odors and lighten the color.

The only appropriate use for these oils is as biodiesel.

Coconut oil can be refined to safely remove odors without causing the oil itself to go rancid. [1]

Truly in its infancy. The phrase I always use when in a grocery store is whether I'm purchasing things that are "recognizably food". Vegetables, fruits, meat all remind you of their original source or are identical to the original thing. Where food rates on this "eye test" degrades considerably as you move into more and more processed food. It's one of those things that feels common sense and the further along we get the more it appears that it's true. That eating an egg is worse for you than fat-free protein bars seems preposterous now, but there was a time when that was the orthodoxy.

"The quality of mercy is not strained"
I do not believe IQ is heritable -- racially, or otherwise. Full stop.

Intelligence is, by my estimation, entirely a function of nurture, not nature. Those exceptions are in situations where it is lacking due to handicap.

Which is to say, everyone's brain has the same chance at brilliance (barring fetal alcohol syndrome, neglect, etc.) if they are not intellectually handicapped, and are provided the same child-rearing and temperament.

But, if you believed IQ to be heritable, as many of you do, it would seem a fair guess that it would be distributed unequally among races, as is height, hormone levels, muscularity, and so on.

I don't believe this, as I don't believe IQ is heritable, but I don't see how one could possibly buy into the heritability of IQ while vehemently denying that it could be spread unevenly among races. You guys, to me, all seem to be grappling with two wildly incompatible ideas -- that race can't effect intelligence, and that intelligence is heritable.

You'll need to choose which it is.

I'm happy, even having read his (wrong) ideas on IQ, to entertain Urbit because he seems no more wrong than the rest of you. Cheers.

We should just assume that nuclear waste lasts forever, like a lot of chemical waste does, and then treat it the same as the equivalent class of chemical waste. When someone says "10,000 years", people start thinking about how to wait it out. When someone says "forever", people give up on waiting it out, and start thinking about more realistic safety measures.
It is a very good documentary on the subject. For me it really drove home the idea that current nuclear power comes with too expensive externalities in the form of "keep this stuff safe for 100 000 years". We've never come close to doing something like that as a species. I don't think we ever will.
Heh, and I don't want anyone like you judging when it is a good idea to overthrow the government. Frankly speaking, I already don't trust the judgment of anyone who talks so casually about revolution as you've done here ("I have a number of declared lines in the sand"?????). I have far more confidence in the current system than anything that would emerge when the internet tough guys get together to try and take it down.

I have zero confidence that rational, reasonable people (and "I have a number of declared lines in the sand" and other such statements is not rational nor reasonable) would be included in the new politics following that revolution, and that would make me worried for how my friends, family, loved ones would be treated on the other side of such a revolution.

I noticed that about Phoenix the first time I went there. I flew in at night, and the regular grid of street lights was beautiful. This was over 30 years ago, and if I remember correctly there was only a single freeway.

In many places the terrain simply won't allow for a regular grid layout. From my home in Minnesota I can't really go straight north, because there are a number of lakes in the way. There are a couple of roads that manage to snake their way through, but it's all fully built up areas that keep their speed limits low and safe.

The problem with BITS is that it assumes that the computer it's on is the only computer on the network. (In a switched network, how could it know otherwise?) So it will start bulk downloads while other users are trying to use the network interactively, with predictable consequences.

I basically just configure my network as if everything connected to it – both clients and the ISP – are bad actors trying to DoS me (albeit, a DoS regulated by TCP Vegas). Between my ISP's bufferbloat and these shenanigans from MS/Akamai, it's not a bad approximation.
The cost argument is sound, and I'm not disputing it, but rather I'm thinking in the broader terms of the "Gun Control" debate. At some point in the future, maybe a decade, maybe two, supply-side gun control is going to be a pointless exercise. My argument however, is that the time has not yet come, although it's clearly on the horizon.

For now "Just get a CNC mill and learn how to use it" is still a substantial hurdle. I think it's fair to say that it's a hurdle that Adam Lanza wouldn't have managed to overcome.
"Firearms are just one tool out of many that would be in play if an actual armed revolution broke out."

I reject your premise. How will militias assemble before these conflicts can take place? Facebook? I'm not being facetious. A ruthless government could, in a state of emergency, cut off the internet in a locality, or lean of Facebook to turn over names, or etc. The internet IS the battleground. Physical control of land with guns is a small, receding target. Guns aren't protecting us from the government, the EFF is.
I don't think I ever used the terms fake or meaningless. My point is that the lifestyle being referenced might not be appealing to a majority of people, hence the reason most don't do it.

7 Reasons Why European Cities Will Be Better Innovation Hubs
It seems insane, but people who are practitioners often don't follow current research. As there are a lot of programmers in this forum, I think an easy way to show this is to look at your fellow programmers. How many read and understand the current scientific papers in their field? Even relatively simple things are completely overlooked. For example, how many people who do AB testing can understand the statistics of what they are doing? We've more voodoo recommendations in our field than you can shake a stick at.

Our field isn't especially lax in this area. Probably just the opposite. Most people just don't keep up. Ideas are formed in university and never change. I worked as an EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teacher for 5 years. None of my colleagues knew anything about language acquisition theory from the last 60 years (they didn't even know who Noam Chomsky was!!!). Even worse was their understanding of the current state of the art in education research. At least for language acquisition they vaguely knew people were doing research at all. For education, forget about it.

As you say, nutrition is a hugely complex subject and research is still in its infancy. However, it does not surprise me at all that working nutritionists will hold on to old ideas until they die -- often passing those old ideas to the next generation. I fight against it, but I expect I will do the same as a programmer too ;-)

Your last statement is exactly the kind of reasoning that I'm arguing against. Besides being an absurd generalization, it's also not necessarily true, at least if you're conflating needs and wants, which I suspect is what you're doing here.
Korch was within one game in a long match of winning the world championship two different times in his forties. The champ was a young twentysomething Karpov.

Then he went on to be the best fiftysomething chess player ever to play the game in his fifties. And the best sixtysomething in his sixties. And the best seventy-something in his seventies.

He had a stroke right around age eighty but managed to slip in at least one win against American grandmaster and world championship candidate Fabiano Caruana in 2011 after he turned eighty, so he was the best ever of that decade as well.

Chess players usually peak a bit before thirty. Korchnoi defected after forty. As a dissident under the Soviet system, Korchnoi didn't have the chance to prove himself in international competition in his twenties or thirties, but he may have been the best in the world for a long time before Karpov or Fischer reached the championship.

Clearly the children aren't being intentionally murdered in order to punish their parents. That's so far from reality that there's no sense pointing out that I'm wrong.

I would have written "death consequence", but that doesn't roll as trippingly off of the tongue. Try not to read the subtext instead of focusing on a legal interpretation.

The whole point of my comment was that it's the children who suffer when a parent fails to teach them basic safety, therefore saying "Well when I was a kid, they just taught us not to do this" is kind of disingenuous. That kind of statement seems to be pushing personal responsibility as a superior solution, even though very young children are not responsible for this kind of mistake.

I posted this for two reasons. One, I really do believe old European city centers are better in many ways, but outside the centers they aren't, in my exp, that much different from the US.

The second reason is that I'm interested in quality sources covering of European innovation. Most of the good American sites rarely venture over the border, let alone the oceans.
It's a fascinating problem, a way to communicate the concept that this is not a treasure trove, not a historical site, but something dangerous that was meant to be sealed away for many thousands of years due to its hazardous nature. The parting thoughts seem most telling to me thought.

They wonder if this really worth it, since in the end coming into contact with the waste is a bit of a self-limiting problem, in that people exploring will become sick and die. It will ergo, become a "Place to avoid" anyway. If the cost is bound to be a few explorer's lives every few millennia in any case, and that's what will send the real message, then... well... you see?

Finally though, they just wonder how to construct something massive, durable, and yet not likely to be cannibalized for parts or scrap! They even raise the issue of what 400+ generations of unknowable humanity might do to the marker structure, without disturbing the rest of the site.

Is your assumption that IQ isn't heritable, or that genes don't vary with populations along racial lines, or what?
I'm fine. I'd like to pay everyone else basic income so we can finally rid ourselves of the absolutely ridiculous state of poverty and hunger in a country of absolute plenty.

That, and no fear of becoming financially ruined by choosing to be a stay-at-home-mom, or needing to care for an ailing relative more than part-time, or any other emergency that might separate you from employment and healthcare and screw you financially for life.

What I find sad is anyone that thinks people in a lower class than themselves are "takers" or that poverty is a deserved result of some arbitrary moral line - or that anyone in 2016 should be homeless or hungry.

3 jobs out of 3,000 in a category does not invalidate the results and is within acceptable error (and even if there was a super-mega-ultra outlier as a result, that's why the median is used instead of the average).
