> The NSA cannot know in advance which tiny fraction of 1 percent of the records it may need, so it collects and keeps as many as it can — 27 terabytes [...] The location programs have brought in such volumes of information, according to a May 2012 internal NSA briefing, that they are “outpacing our ability to ingest, process and store” data

27TB doesn't sound much, even by 2012 standards. The article doesn't specify if this is the total size, just the delta over some period of time, or something entirely different? Certainly not something NSA would "struggle to ingest"?

I feel very fortunate that the tau vs. pi argument was around when I went back to study math in earnest. I found tau much more intuitive and it helped me to visualize and learn the material more effectively.

I now use tau whenever I can. However, I don't find switching back and forth to accommodate pi loyalists that taxing. You don't really have to choose one exclusively.
Just out of curiosity, do you have any suggestions for stiff bicycle wheels? I've been looking for a sturdy wheelset for touring with a fairly heavy bike, but it's hard to navigate the offerings because they're all seemingly advertised based on lightness.
Your first point still makes no sense to me. You are paying for something that doesn't have a feature you like. A more expensive version does have the feature. What are you proposing instead? That you get a product with more features for the same price? Of course every buyer wants that for every product. And every seller wants the opposite.

Your second point is equally mystifying, since you've created an arbitrary definition of a "regular consumer" as someone who doesn't want to contact the sales office of the company you want to buy a product from.

Your third point is factually wrong and/or is based on a ridiculous definition of reporting. See sibling comments.

Demi Lovato and Her Shocking Revelation About Her Past Drug Use

Yes, though it's not the kind of thing one will find on sugar coated high school history or books from patriotic academics.

It's common historical knowledge that the Japanese were pretty much defeated and desperate (out of oil and resources, with the Russians circling them, and they had already examined the possibility and terms of surrender, using USSR as a mediator). Of course to make it less easy, the US insisted on surrender under very humiliating terms to not let them save face, even though the US knew they were on their last legs.

Besides that, there's nothing about "invading" that's worse than dropping nukes on civilians (not to mention the same "choice" can be said for any war).

Except if the idea is "Better a war crime to evaporate 250.000 men, women, children, dogs and kittens, especially civilians" than to risk the lives of my men on an invasion according to standard war practice and law. Even though I know that the enemy is on its last legs anyway".

The is actually a very good point. People are acting like it was all incredibly obvious that voting Leave was a terrible thing to do. But it wasn't obvious before the vote. At least not to the average voter.

A lot of the blame for that has to go to the media who printed anything the Leave campaign said even if it wasn't true (the £350m thing especially).

I don't think it's fair to totally blame the Leave voters for their bad decision. Besides it isn't totally clear now that it is that bad of a decision. The pound only dropped 6% (compared to 30% in 2008). And that's due to uncertainty more than anything else. It could easily go up again. In fact you can barely see the change on this graph:

http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=GBP&to=USD&view=10Y

> they don't get why vast swathes of ordinary people away from London would want to leave Europe.

To me it seems like most Leavers voted Leave because of some dissatisfaction with their life (too poor), and the Leave campaign successfully convinced them that it was because of Europe and immigrants. Or they just voted the way the government didn't want them to as a protest.

> What's the estimated lost energy?

From my point of view, that's almost impossible to calculate. But one can measure it. See:

Stiffness and Damping in Mechanical Design
by Eugene Rivin

Click: https://amzn.com/0824717228

Or Gavin's paper I cited in the other comment.

> Where does it end up as the wheel flexes?

Stiffness & Damping are closely related, as the book title above already implies. A part of the energy is lost in heat and structural changes. And another part is basically unused as it's unused by design:

Imagine the following experiment. You need to push a box using many impulses over a specific length. At the side of the box is a plate, which you are punching, which is attached to a spring which itself is attached to the box.
Now, let's go the extreme. Your impulses are so short and weak, that the spring absorbs most of it and the box hardly moves. The energy quantum you transferred via impulse, was used up by the spring and the spring released it by its own = Lost by design.
Now, let's get your impulses bigger and longer. You'll move the box better. And now let's gradually fixate or, say, stiffen the spring. Each hit moves the box directly.

That's stiffness.

You hit the pedal and you experience how the bike just instantly starts to accelerate your body forward. Which a very stiff wheelset and bike would do. Now get on a fully. Thick tires, springs everywhere. Hit the pedal. You'll feel like cycling under water.

PS: I'm not Eugene Rivin.
You should watch Royce Gracie in early MMA competitions (before grappling became regularly studied by most competitors). He completely dominated everyone, no matter what discipline.

Distance did not help. At best, a punch or kick or two were thrown, and then the grappler was able to close the distance, and then anyone who didn't study grappling (or at least wrestling) was at a massive disadvantage, and the fight quickly ended in the grappler's favor.
Methods can be split into private methods. But what that sometimes means is, when you're trying to understand how a piece of information flows through a method to fix a bug, instead of it being all self-contained in the method, instead you have to jump around to 10 places in a file to see where the information goes. That severely increases the cognitive overhead.

If they don't bash Brexit to the fullest dangerous ideas like "stuff like birthplace, religion, citizenship and nationality matters and the citizens of a country may determine which and on what terms non citizens could live in said country" may take hold.

As a person from Eastern Europe I am on the receiving end of Brexiters rhetoric, but I can totally understand that UK belongs to the British. Their country - their rules. No one but them has the right to live there - it is a temporary privilege that they have granted to some one way or another.
I agree with you but it's very hard for people to snap out of the idea that "society is getting richer".

It took a long time for me to realize that growth had stalled for decades because I was looking at growth as measured in fiat and took for granted that the stock market returned 10% per year like clockwork.

What would one expect to see if real growth ex computation had stalled or slowed? What would be the symptoms?

People's lay intuitions are, I think, correct. More 'sophisticated' types have been misled. Some kinds of errors can only be reached by analysis.

On helium rarity: helium can easily be produced by nuclear reaction. That's expensive, of course. But if we raise the price of helium to prevent depletion of resources, helium will be expensive too.

Given we have a way to make it, we aren't going to run out of the stuff, so I just don't think this problem is that dire.
Is that more expensive than the UK? Over about £40k you've got a 42% rate here (not including the employer NI either), and a 32% rate between abut £11k and £40k.
I understand this perspective if arguments were a limited resource and that by not fighting about tau we would win other battles (which is not true). The reality is that there is no such thing as time "better spent" withoit enforcing some sort of oppressive regieme and ways to curb imagination. I believe the tau fight is one of the rare good fights.
That's a shitty story, but blaming Facebook for it seems a bit of a stretch. By that logic, photo editing software is responsible; computers; electricity, etc. A horrible society is definitley responsible for that one.
It gets worse!

When using solid angles over a sphere, you're still going to need to use 2Tau steradians to cover a sphere. This factor of 2 will continue to cause confusion for the Tau fans.

Therefore we must also define a new constant Sigma = 4pi so we can cleanly and easily deal with steradians.

Anybody up for writing the Sigma Manifesto?

"EU structures are much more democratic than the EU."

This is also simply a meme, and normally quoted in knee-jerk reflex to an utterance of the other.
The UK government has demonstrated a willingness to help the UK's tech sector get the talent it needs from outside the EU by streamlining the process for getting Tier 1 visas. Even if movement of labour is restricted after Brexit, I expect there to be a huge difference in the restrictions applied to unskilled migrants versus skilled migrants. In short, I don't think UK companies need to worry about being able to bring in the sort of talent they need.

The fate of London's financial sector will depend on what sort of trade deal the UK and EU negotiate. The worst case scenario would be if the UK was denied access to the single market for financial services, including "passporting". However, the UK imports a lot more from the EU than it exports[1], so countries like Germany and the Netherlands are likely to accept a deal which means London continues as Europe's financial capital, in order to protect their own economies.

People are critical of the flagrant dishonesty of the Leave campaign, the way that all concerns were dismissed with the 'Project Fear' or 'the British public has had enough of experts' thought terminating cliches, and now the refusal to admit that the public have been lied to, and the new tendency to blame Remain voters and the EU for 'talking down the economy', or for requiring now what everyone knew would be the case beforehand in our trading/diplomatic/legal relationship post Brexit. And also the naked self-absorption of Leave campaigners like Boris Johnson, who made a series of completely unworkable promises and now doesn't even bother to turn up to parliament to discuss them.

Britain paid £270m a week, and received back £100m. Johnson invented a £350m figure, the entirety of which he promised to the health service, and then promised the £100m spending commitments would be met. So his new spending requirements are £450m a week, and the money saved £270m. In other words, he has pretended to magic £180m a week out of thin air.

He has also effectively promised major restrictions of immigration alongside access to the single market, which everyone knew was impossible, and promised there won't be a recession, which is unlikely. He gambled the country's stability for his personal advancement, and his duplicity and incompetence will probably lead to a far right party becoming a major force in British politics.

It is not surprising that people are angry.

> ... a large function cannot be broken up usefully, because a lot of state needs to be shared between the different parts ...

there is no way to break that up with multiple smaller functions without stowing away the state somewhere.

sometimes reading a large function is not half as bad as reading 10 different ones with each altering the shared state.
This article brings up an important source of bias that tech people risk - that we overuse models from programming when thinking about other aspects of the world. We should be learning alternative models from other subjects like economics, philosophy, sociology, etc so that we can improve our mental toolbox and avoid thinking everything works like a software system.

I'd say that another related source of bias is that we are surrounded by people who think like us.

It's a shame though, that the article dismisses without much explicit justification risk from artificial intelligence and the problem of death. When I first encountered these ideas, I dismissed them because they seemed weird. But if you read the arguments for caring you realise that they are actually well thought-out. For AI risk, check out http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolu... and https://www.amazon.co.uk/Superintelligence-Dangers-Strategie.... For an argument for tackling death, checkout http://www.nickbostrom.com/fable/dragon.html.

Also, there's a clear answer to 'If after decades we can't improve quality of life in places where the tech élite actually lives, why would we possibly make life better anywhere else?' -- because the tech elite live in a rich society where most of the fundamental problems (e.g. infectious disease control, widespread dollar-a-day level poverty, access to education) have been solved. The remaining problems are much harder and we should focus on problems where our resources can go further - e.g. in helping the global poor. We should also work on important problems that we have a lot of influence over, such as risks from artificial intelligence and surveillance technology.
The paper does not compare or evaluate this "commitment". It is a data point that monorepo scales to 86TB provided you heavily invest in infrastructure to support it. This is significant as many would have considered that "impossible" as in "it is impossible to make git scale to 86TB".

We don't know if the monorepo approach is worth it. Google believes it is (Facebook as well). Many others don't. The manyrepo approach also has advantages.
And that applies irrespective of a newcomer is junior or senior. There is hardly a substitute for a fresh pair of eyes t to reveal what one thinks is cool design, code et al is not so cool after all.

Remember that outrage over the Patriot act abuses? Obama 2008 platform promised to restore the Constitution:

> We reject the use of national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. We reject the tracking of citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war. We reject torture. We reject sweeping claims of "inherent" presidential power. We will revisit the Patriot Act and overturn unconstitutional executive decisions issued during the past eight years. We will not use signing statements to nullify or undermine duly enacted law. And we will ensure that law-abiding Americans of any origin, including Arab-Americans and Muslim-Americans, do not become the scapegoats of national security fears.

but as we have seen, every word of this has been reversed. I don't trust either party at this point. Both are scalp deep in this.

I've been eyeing Berlin for a while, but hasn't been convinced yet. That said, I feel your arguments are very generic.

You say the attitude is all wrong, but then you expect high salaries by default? I've made very good money in Europe (like 1% income before 30 good). But that was by joining the industry right after high school, so when my friends were done with with university I (and some of my other friends) had already been working 50 hour weeks for 5 years and were a partners at a consultancy company. Attitudes are "soft problems" that are great for people who are driven.

If you have more concrete arguments against Berlin I would be interested in hearing them.
