That's not hard to do, but it's very restrictive. You can open a USB drive, but can't copy files from it. So, having achieved isolation, then what?
He's at Google. Many people there seem to think of network connectivity the same way we think of clean water, electricity, and natural gas - things that are just always there, in whatever quantity you want. Ditto for storage and computational power, because for them all those things are like utilities. Never mind that people in many parts of the world can't even take those "old fashioned" utilities for granted. People who live in bubbles tend to lose touch with the outside world.
This article is racists crap.
I've tried lots of languages, thanks. It's still astonishing and will always be astonishing.

WTF does "timesRepeat" have to do with what an integer represents? Nothing, that's what. Integer is a noun, conventionally a 32-bit value type, while "timesRepeat" is a control structure. It's absolutely crazy for "timesRepeat" to be a member of integer.

What is a tulpa?
Peeling back a level, science is a belief system based on observations. What is a valid observation - if I say I saw it once that is not valid, if I say look in this place or way and you can see it too, well, that is. But what if I say "look in this place and way and you will see this kind of thing once out of a billion trials, and all the other things that are seen are not real"? Science admits that view, and I would not disagree but I am aware that this is a choice - a philosophical view that I have adopted as part of the assumptions that I make to use the belief system that we currently call science. This system is different from the versions of science that were in use 100 years ago, and is changing now with the rejection of intervalism (p=0.05). So bring in 1000 scientists and let them do some philosophy, because to do anything that's what they have to do.

> why we suppose there has to be dark matter and energy in the universe.

PBS Space Time has a set of short videos[1] that do a very good job of explaining dark {matter,energy}. It starts with Einstein's field equations and GR, then walks through what the Friedmann equations say about the expansion of the universe.

No not currently - were still working on the core at the moment, though I think we're just about ready for it now if anyone was interested in starting on it.
If you disregard aesthetics, what are the questions we're trying to answer in physics, particularly those that involve observable phenomena? I get that string theory replicates the predictions of the theories that preceded it, the critique I'd infer is that it doesn't offer any practical advantages over the previous theories, it doesn't predict anything new that we can observe, and it does not make any problems more tractable (I think the opposite? Ie most problems are far more intractable using string theory)

It seems like there's some lack of imagination here, like physics is "done", there's nothing more to answer, it's all just up to other sciences to answer the rest of the (many) questions about why the world is what it is and how it works. A reset of approaches is interesting, but it still needs to be in service of something, doesn't it?

I think he's imagining a world where his map would somehow get an internet connection even way out in the boondocks.
Also most of the rest of physics has been chugging along pretty well. People that are working on this particular problem from any angle (string theory or any other attempts at unification) are a minority in the physics community. If the title was theoretical high energy physics was in a crisis, I'd be more inclined to agree.
I think philosophy can definitely help here. One philosophical answer to this problem is that physics or the physical world are just an ideas / models in our minds (I think it's obviously true but most people disagree). As long as a model is consistent with our perceptions (experiments), it's correct (correct up to this moment).
Being compensated proportional to value created is a not a free-market position. It may be philosophically justified, but in a free market, the value created has no bearing in the price of the service: just supply and demand.

Talking about value created sounds quite odd when taken out of a business relationship. E.g. how much should cleaners be paid, given that without them properties could degrade into public health hazards? The "value created" model of a fair wage gets short shrift.

C, like unix, is a small payload spreading like a virus, depending on the coder to keep it alive. The simplicity and the emergent behavior are as much an evolutionary advantage as a burden because of the UB. At 600 pages, the standard is not really simple anymore, as the RNA accrues more inputs from different vectors.

That the block universe model is just that : a model which is useful for solving problems, not a description of reality. This is a big problem for physics; confusing the modelling for truthiness. If you go for it all the way eventually you end up in a room with very, very think wallpaper engaging Max Telmark in a shouted conversation. This is part of the maths as selectively reflective of reality conversation.
ADS-B is not drone specific, but it is very useful to make drones more safe. The problem in the real world is that many pilots of small aircraft refuse to use ADS-B. For some, there is concern about the government tracking their movements, and of course there's extra cost for extra equipment.

There's also concern already that it's way too easy to spoof ADS-B with false data, and that it won't scale well to the number of drones expected to be flying.
And such a strategy could be sold as more cost effective - focus the light on the ground and reduce glare.

How do you measure "X", anyway? During the whiteboard interview process? We all regularly discuss how subjective and broken that process is. Do you measure it after the hire, by tracking the number of story and task tickets closed? Now you just have people gaming the system, with a sprint board full of bullshit.

The way to deal with it is for consumers not to buy from individual sellers with no or bad feedback. Amazon will kick them off once they have too many complaints.

I think Amazon maybe should restrict access to the comingling program to new sellers, which would help somewhat. They already won't let you get the buy box as a Merchant Fulfilled seller when you're just starting or when you're below metrics.

Wild and whacky idea: has anyone ever built a language with separate types for ordinal/cardinal numbers and nominal numbers? The idea would be that with nominal numbers you don't care about the precise result of individual calculations, just statistical properties like determinism, distribution, etc. So arithmetic on nominal numbers would be permitted to overflow, as operations are just various ways to jump from one nominal to another. However, most numbers would be ordinals/cardinals, and any overflow when generating an ordinal/cardinal would be considered an error.

The book The Everything Store talks about how Amazon uses counterfeit goods to sort-of blackmail high-end goods to letting them sell.

I think the book gave the example of a high-end kitchen knife brand, maybe Wüsthof, that would not allow Amazon to sell their knives. Before you know it, cheap knockoffs appeared claiming to be Wüsthof knives. When they let Amazon sell the real deal, suddenly the knockoffs disappeared from the store.

I have a feeling the same thing is happening with the high-end perfumeries, like Creed. Everything sold on Amazon is a knockoff because the company doesn't sell there. I bet if they did, the fake stuff would magically disappear...

One of the last consumer-facing, blockbuster level startups outside of SV (or California) that comes to mind was Groupon. But I don't consider them to be that great; kind of a fad that took off for a while and is now lingering. When I say blockbuster level startup I mean something that becomes a household name used by mostly consumers. Highly visible companies mostly. I lump LA/SV together because they're in the same state, and there seems to be a lot of inter-funding between the two areas. But I'm also from Chicago so maybe it's just me. Hah.

We thought that would be the case, but in practice we've found that listing agents usually refuse to double-end deals. Instead they tend to refer clients that approach them to a friend (often another agent working under the same broker). I think the reasoning is that there's a higher chance of the deal falling through if the buyer doesn't have their own representation coaching them through it. There's a lot that's not intuitive about real estate deals (or at least violated our initial assumptions).

There's an interesting back and forth with Boltzmann and Mach that touches on this:

> Boltzmann's kinetic theory of gases seemed to presuppose the reality of atoms and molecules, but almost all German philosophers and many scientists like Ernst Mach and the physical chemist Wilhelm Ostwald disbelieved their existence. During the 1890s Boltzmann attempted to formulate a compromise position which would allow both atomists and anti-atomists to do physics without arguing over atoms. His solution was to use Hertz's theory that atoms were Bilder, that is, models or pictures. Atomists could think the pictures were the real atoms while the anti-atomists could think of the pictures as representing a useful but unreal model, but this did not fully satisfy either group. Furthermore, Ostwald and many defenders of "pure thermodynamics" were trying hard to refute the kinetic theory of gases and statistical mechanics because of Boltzmann's assumptions about atoms and molecules and especially statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics.

> Around the turn of the century, Boltzmann's science was being threatened by another philosophical objection. Some physicists, including Mach's student, Gustav Jaumann, interpreted Hertz to mean that all electromagnetic behavior is continuous, as if there were no atoms and molecules, and likewise as if all physical behavior were ultimately electromagnetic. This movement around 1900 deeply depressed Boltzmann since it could mean the end of his kinetic theory and statistical interpretation of the second law of thermodynamics.

> After Mach's resignation in Vienna in 1901, Boltzmann returned there and decided to become a philosopher himself to refute philosophical objections to his physics, but he soon became discouraged again. In 1904 at a physics conference in St. Louis most physicists seemed to reject atoms and he was not even invited to the physics section. Rather, he was stuck in a section called "applied mathematics", he violently attacked philosophy, especially on allegedly Darwinian grounds but actually in terms of Lamarck's theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics that people inherited bad philosophy from the past and that it was hard for scientists to overcome such inheritance.

> In 1905 Boltzmann corresponded extensively with the Austro-German philosopher Franz Brentano with the hope of gaining a better mastery of philosophy, apparently, so that he could better refute its relevancy in science, but he became discouraged about this approach as well.

> This is a big problem for physics; confusing the modelling for truthiness

I'm pretty sure it isn't ; ever since quantum mechanics physicists have been very good at separating the two. Popsci, not so much, but the actual physics is very clear about it being a model.
If it hadn't been for the "Johns Hopkins Data Science Course" branding on the class I signed up for I wouldn't have fallen for it I am sure.

Just to provide a counter-point.. I've taken 5 or 6 of the classes in that sequence, and have found them well worth every penny I've spent so far. Probably you could argue that the same information is available elsewhere for free, but the classes have worked for me, and the way I study and learn.

Obviously YMMV, but they've been a bargain from my perspective. I think because, if nothing else, they provide some structure, sequencing and a token measure of accountability... whereas if I just said "Hey, I'm going to teach myself R from this book" it would be a lot easier to loaf around, waste time reading HN instead of studying, etc.

That said, I don't argue against the idea that online learning could still be better. In fact, I don't think we've even come close to tapping the full potential of this stuff.

Actually, large data centers are using FPGAs at the network edges. The FGPA does data compression and/or encryption. This optimizes network bandwidth and does not tie up the CPU. I expect to see distributed network routing code so the communication can be peer to peer with no routers. I expect to see firewalls specific to a node (e.g. only web traffic from the traffic splitter). I expect to security code (e.g. no exfiltration from the confidential store-only machine).

All of this without involving the CPU... ASIC is too expensive but FPGAs are great. Intel bought Altera (about 45% of the FPGA market) which annoys me / excites me because I use Altera. I expect the next Gen CPUs to have an embedded FPGA so you can make your own instructions.

> what are the questions we're trying to answer in physics, particularly those that involve observable phenomena?

(disclaimer: I am not a physicist, etc.)

Between GR and QM, we can explain most observable phenomena, but it's intuitively obvious that both are emergent properties of some deeper law.

I don't suspect frontier physics is ever really studied with an eye to application. Those tend to follow, but the bleeding edge of physics is usually advanced just out of intellectual curiosity, to try to understand the universe.

In this sense, String Theory is just an attempt the unify General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics. The fact that it's not apparently testable is unfortunate,

We can have pedantic arguments about whether that's "Real Science", since science by definition requires testable hypotheses, but at the end of the day, I don't think it's crazy to pursue a model to encompass QM and GR, even if it can't be called "Science".
