It's pragmatic to delegate that aspect to other people who are/were working on it. It is not pragmatic to try and solve all the different problems involved all at the same time.

Pike was brought in to Google to do something about log management (hence Sawmill -- it was a disaster prior to his arrival). The solution was pragmatic: awk on GFS.

It would be nice if more attention to intermittent connectivity solved the problem. The trouble is that I see no interest from research funders and not much motive for commercial funders. As best as I can tell, it is in fact quite pragmatic to leave that detail (important as it may be) aside until there's enough interest in stateless "dumb" workstations to reintroduce it.

It's pragmatic to make flawed assumptions so that you can get something done in the common-within-Google case, and come back later for the common-outside-of-Google case, at least if you happen to be within Google.

I agree with some of that, but I'd be more interested not in how much code is written for the test, but how far into the private API the code must go before the actual action is done. Kind of like using Test Coverage techniques. I imagine theirs only like 2 or 3 ways developers are, say, appending lots of rows, and the difference maker is how efficiently those techniques are being implemented.

Yes, I admitted that earlier. This is the tricky part, not that dark energy exists. There are a number of plausible theories as to why the magnitude of dark energy is much lower than expected, but nothing hard and fast yet.

Hypothetical example. Your employer has 1 billion users. You create compression that cuts down storage costs by 4%. Run the math and you see how much you saved.

If you saved $0.01 per user, you saved $10m. If the average salary is 100K and you saved $10m, you performed at 100x.

I never said they were the first people to do it. I said they do it. I really do not understand where the confusion is coming from.

Yeah - everything on FB and Twitter is 2016 mid-May or so. A year ahead of the on-site blog, but not a heck of a lot of detail about what's going on.

I wasn't trying to call you out for what I perceived to be an objection, but I see people say things like: "developer hasn't posted a commit for 9 whole months! no thank you! I'm out!". Which isn't very comment worthy; ranks right up there with "site doesn't display on my iphone".

You weren't that direct (which should have been a clue that you were actually, you know, asking a real question), but you didn't seem very hostile, so I thought I would ask someone who was, you know, not hostile! :-) Because I seriously don't understand the objection when I see it and I've never taken time to ask.
Pretty perceptive for a 13 yr old.

I was at Sun from the day they went public until the launch of Java, I saw things a bit more clearly. When Sun started they were building workstations using Motorola's 68010 series of chips. They had taken an open source OS (4.xBSD) and a commodity microprocessor (68K) and put together some really nice hardware and made sure all the drivers worked and all of the software interfaces were consistent. Their two fiercest competitors at the time were DEC with its VAXStation line (custom CPU (VAX), custom OS (VMS)), and Apollo with its Domain line (commodity CPU (68k), custom OS (Domain)). It gave you almost the perfect Petri dish for evaluating the strategy.

It worked well, Sun out engineered all other workstation companies and by 1990 was at the top of its game.

The first thing that started eating at it was Silicon Graphics, the focus on serious graphics hardware got them into places where Sun was weak. The second thing was the slow ponderous rise of the x86 architecture. It wasn't until the 386 that there was realistically a competitor to the old 68K dominance in 32 bit machines. And the Pentium was the first architecture that could go head to head with SPARC on the low end.

At the top of its game Sun made three bad decisions, that ultimately sealed its fate. First it decided to make its OS more "enterprise" and got into a huge deal with AT&T to "merge" all the UNIXes into one happy System V. Second it decided that it could build a better CPU than semiconductor companies and embarked on building SPARC. And finally, when x86 machines started developing the same capabilities as workstations (and brought Windows NT along with them), it chose to retreat into the "datacenter" rather than continue to work and learn in deskop space.

All of the advantages of its early days had been reversed, it had a proprietary OS (Solaris), a proprietary CPU (SPARC), and it charged premium margins (even though they were not sustainable). I emailed Scott McNealy and suggested he sell off SPARC to Fujitsu, sunset Solaris in favor of a new version of SunOS based on the FreeBSD kernel, and engineer machines out of commodity chips (x86 and Opteron). They did much of that (except the SunOS part) but it was much too late and the rest of the organization was hemorrhaging money.

Even today I think that could be a credible business plan although I note that folks like System76 haven't been nearly as successful as the early Sun. I'm not sure if that is that they don't engineer enough of the systems or if they don't have the staff to really do the drivers they need. Or it could just be that crappy driver support and flakey window systems are the new normal and not enough people remember not rebooting for 6 months.
> And presumably those certificates are revoked, or will be revoked soon.

The way code signing works means this doesn't matter. So long as the certificate wasn't revoked when the file was signed, the signature will be indefinitely valid.

Ignoring the fact good AVs are difficult to evade because of things like behavior blocking and heuristics, you also won't be able to protect yourself against adware, because they are borderline legal and are almost always signed.
The Asimov stories that introduce the laws are exactly about their inadequacies and internal contradictions. They are cleverly chosen to seem plausible at first glance but cause endless problems when fleshed out.

The content decryption modules (CDMs) do have limited access to the browser (basically: here is a stream of data, render into this viewport), but there is nothing in the spec that limits what the EME modules can do to the OS (and the Windows Widevine one, for example, integrates with "Protected Media Path" which is Ring 0 code).

Even the W3C is skeptical of the security of CDMs: https://www.w3.org/TR/encrypted-media/#cdm-security.
It most certainly doesn't mean nothing. It means that that there are significant trust issues that must be overcome before autonomous driving technology can get widespread acceptance. This is not a pure engineering problem that must be solved. Technologists can endlessly repeat "autonomous driving is inevitable" but that alone won't make it so.

> For example[1], Newton's 1687 Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy later became classified as a book of physics.

That is a good example. I was trying to think of others since then. That was 500 years ago or so. What are some more recent ones for physics?

I imagine if logic is considered part of philosophy, perhaps boolean and propositional logic had a hand in helping computing...

Then if ecology or sociology is considered I can see how philosophical ideas about class, society, environment would be incorporated into practical fields or be used to start societal transformations (Marxism perhaps?).

But I can't think much for physics recently? I have read and seen known physicists dable in and use philosphy to explain what they accomplished or observed. Bohr, for example, was fond of Kierkegaard. It would be good to have examples of philosophers who changed the course of physics.

In this case I would tend to take "modern" to mean "not based on openssl."
I take it to mean "uses current, best practices." For example:

- C++: uses C++11 features, avoids non-RAII resources, prefers standard libraries over older, platform-specific libraries, not written as "C with classes."

- C: doesn't do weird stuff like bypassing malloc(), avoids undefined behavior.

- in general: has a test suite, probably uses continuous testing like Travis, uses modern language features to achieve cleaner & more robust code.

> Still doesn't make much sense to use a secondary trait like educational attainment (58% heritability at highest) over a primary one like IQ (>80% heritability).

Educational attainment is phenotyped much more often than is IQ, so it's both available in this dataset and available in the much larger datasets of the GWAS in question. Aside from being a phenotype of interest in its own right and a case of looking under the lamppost, EA also proxies for intelligence on both the genetic and phenotype level. (In some cohorts, like the UK Biobank, the cognitive performance test used has such low test-retest reliability that anyone who is looking for intelligence variants is going to want to use the education variable anyway!)

> Maybe I missed something, but how well does BMI measured at age 45-50 correlate with BMI at reproductive age?

I'm sure the correlation is <1. But as long as it's not an inverse correlation, it's fine. That is just measurement error which will bias down to 0 the estimate and lead to underestimate of selection.

> Wouldn't a far simpler approach be to measure allelic frequency at regions near GWAS QTLs in multiple generations?

How do you aggregate those QTLs? You can't examine them individually, that would be horrifically underpowered. If you wind up summing them, don't you get a polygenic score back and do what OP did?
> I don't know why the writer takes such an issue with the fact that everyone claims their idea will change the world; we know better. And if we're pleasantly surprised, we'll know in the end.

Because important decisions are being made based on assumptions that, while we know are false, the rest of the world doesn't.
If you consider morse code was 100 years old at that point, there had already been a lot of very practical work under that heading. With earlier effort focused on designing and cracking encryption systems.

Shannon was more an outgrowth of having already abstracted information and looking for ways to encode that for transmission. I don't want to downplay the value, but in historical context it's very different from how you learn about such things after the fact.

It isn't that different than some tricks in image recognition. Look at basic training schemes for digit recognition. A feature you can start with is basically how many pixels are used.

The basic idea is how can you start reducing the pattern space. So, for images, don't consider all colors and only consider brightness.
I lived in the area for roughly 2.5 years and absolutely agree with you.

There are many 'no-go' areas at night in SF, try to find those in Singapore, Tokyo, etc.

The "as their next purchase" part of that option seems like it would seriously distort the results. I'm sure plenty of those people were thinking "I don't think I'd trust a self-driving car that came out today, but it's be pretty cool to get one later once I know they work well".

Joking aside, I'm not sure I see your point with that clock. Windows with transparent elements? We've been able to do that for quite a while now. If you're referring to drawing that clock, I can use GDI on Windows and have the same result. With a bit of creativity you could probably have the hands rotate automatically with a binding, but my WPF is much too rusty for that.
Yes, but that's not introducing additional risk because the user was going to install it anyway, assuming it isn't provided by the OS or something like Chrome. If you're using content restricted by Widevine, you're exposed to bugs there no matter whether it's accessed by a CDM, NPAPI plugin, or a standalone app. Until consumers stop paying for encumbered content that won't change.

My point was about what we're not exposed to: bugs in Flash/Silverlight or exposed OS features being used in unexpected ways. That's a huge amount of code with a history of exploits and almost none of it is necessary to play a video but it's still enabled and ready to attack.

I think most people have driven a car with cruise control. Some cars have the "stay in lane" feature. People have certainly been riding in cars driven by others. I don't think it is a huge leap for them to imagine what it would be like riding in a passenger seat but car just drives itself.

As most political science people would know, it depends how the question was asked. It can be asked to insinuate that there would be a Windows 7 computer running their car and it would be taking the person 80 mph on the highway or through the crowded 5 lane bumper to bumper traffic to a job interview, or some important appointment they might say "no". They can immediately imagine horror scenarios happening.

I only found the abstract to couldn't see how questions were formulated:

Sure, there is already significant interest in some specialized industries (long haul trucking, transportation around large scale mines, and others), and that interest will grow incrementally as the technology matures. But the article is more about the general consumer case. I think consumers will gradually warm up to autonomous driving as it is proven out on a large scale but that it will take much longer than early adopters predict.
This is strangely similar to "flying cars". Those have been "just around the corner" for, I don't know, the last 30 years probably, if not more.

It's a bit of a naive comment, because it wholly depends on the libraries you include and what those do.

Use any of the debugging libraries that shim in their own alloc routines, you bypass malloc (or at least do a bunch of things that impact what gets malloc'd).

Thank you! I've been saying as much for years - albeit with fewer proofs and from a more paternal bent.
Every time I see JS performance data like this, I'm always mystified to see lots of error ranges of a couple percent. Working on a JS game has made me dive pretty deeply into JS performance (on Chrome at least), and I constantly find that the hardest part of performance tuning is getting any kind of consistent results to tune.

For a random example, I tried reproducing the "Swap rows" test for Vanilla.js. The author found this took 7.83 +/- 0.18
ms, with five warmup iterations. On my machine, running the same command six times consistently gives results like these:

swapRows took 10.944999999999709
swapRows took 1.3250000000007276
swapRows took 1.3200000000006185
swapRows took 1.269999999999527
swapRows took 11.875
swapRows took 1.2750000000005457

Also, and orthogonal to the above, I've always found that even when performance is consistent across repeated trials, it varies widely between page reloads. (This isn't at all surprising, since v8's optimizing compiler isn't necessarily going to make the same choices every time - but it still makes things very hard to tune).

As an example of this, I tried repeating the "append to large table" test. The author's results were 225.3 +/- 1.89ms. On my (similar) machine, trying this five times (reloading the page between) varied between 225 and 329ms.

Am I missing something here? I've looked pretty hard into v8 perf tuning and various benchmarking libraries, and I've just never seen the kind of consistent results one always finds in comparisons like these.
I'm very curious about the source data for this, in particular where (it will be different between countries) and when (over what period of time it was collected). I'm not outright discounting it, but seems very odd from my experience.
