Yeah, you've echoed many of sentiments. I'll also add that I like the robot-theme though I'm obviously revealing my ignorance of rock-em-sock-em/Battletech/Voltron entertainment.

The movie is exceedingly dumb, but not dumbed-down, IMHO. For example, obviously missile and drone technology would be vastly more effective than robots in taking down these kinds of threats. But after glossing over that reality, the writers/producers go all in with the concept of robots, and invest their creativity in building this improbable world with interesting characters. Or to put it another way, this is dumb action movie that punches up and exceeds its premise, when it could've just been all dumb action all the way through.
I actually had no idea there was a difference between number values and number objects. Definitely one of the more confusing areas of Javascript.

My favorite Logo-for-relative-grownups work is https://www.amazon.com/Turtle-Geometry-Mathematics-Artificia... -- yes, with the same coauthor as SICP. It's about math more than CS, and it's really good: by the last chapter you're figuring out motion in general relativity. It has a spirit of DIY exploration unlike any other math book I'd seen at the time.
Here it is: http://sci-hub.cc/10.1109/tmtt.1959.1124685#
I think you must be referring to this:

> The "Dark Ages" span a period during which the temperature of cosmic background radiation cooled from some 4000 K down to about 60 K. The background temperature was between 373 K and 273 K, allowing the possibility of liquid water, during a period of about 7 million years, from about 10 to 17 million after the Big Bang (redshift 137–100). Loeb (2014) speculated that primitive life might in principle have appeared during this window, which he called "the Habitable Epoch of the Early Universe" .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_the_universe#Dar...

http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayAbstract?fromPag...

Note that the other, Avi Loeb, is the same from the OP article.

The cosmological dark ages lasted from photon decoupling (when photons started free streaming and the cosmic microwave background was born) to a few hundred million years later when the first stars begin to form. Loeb's suggestion is a narrow window of a few million years when the CMB itself would be the source of warmth, rather than stars. I'm not sure how matter was distributed on small scales during that time period.

PE money is no different from VC money in that it is an investment in private companies. The biggest difference is that PE firms usually have a majority stake in the business they invest in (usually 51% or more) and effectively means they "own" the company. For VC, it's almost entirely a minority stake (at most maybe 30%). Most PE firms do what's called a Leverage Buyout (LBO) which means companies are bought like houses with a significant chunk of the capital provided for by investment banks. So, let's say Acme Co (made up company) is bought by a PE firm for $100M and now the PE firm owns 51% of Acme. The PE firm usually puts in (let's say) $20M from it's own fund and an investment bank puts in $80M. In 5-7 years the PE firms sells the company for $200M. They pay back the remainder of their loan of $80M to the investment bank (plus interest and some would have already been paid back by profits) and then they get a return on their investment in the form of carry. PE follows a similar business model as VC using it's 2-and-20 rule on their returns (2% management fees + 20% carry).
So, intuitively speaking, why does the field decreases with increasing wire radius?

I also don't understand the factor epsilon*log(r). Doesn't that contradict the above statement? (smaller radius should lead to a larger field, not smaller)

"Use Tracer Bullets to Find the Target

Tracer bullets let you home in on your target by trying things and seeing how close they land."

All the other tips I appreciate but embarrassingly I have hard time with the analogy on this one (besides the bullet reference). I mean I think I get it but I can't figure out how it maps to anything I have done. I would say it is like a "software spike" [1] but somehow the analogy description doesn't fit.

Maybe someone has a real world example?

Yup. Or more generally known as M&A which could be a buyout (LBO from a PE firm), bigger company acquisition, merger, IPO, or selling shares to another investor.
I'm just saying " Intuitively, sinusoidal oscillation in one direction corresponds to exponential decay in the direction at right angles in the complex plane. A contour integral estimate of Fourier coefficients exploits this decay to prove exponential accuracy."

Isn't particularly intuitive to me :-). But the answer to the three questions is that engineers are not generally mathematicians, and once something meets the requirements they move on to the next problem. Shielding with wire mesh can be tested with a field strength meter and no math, so if the cage isn't shielding enough you adjust it until it does, and then move on.

I'd add a drain in a bottom corner to allow drainage as it melts. I think the temp in the dry ice container would remain lower if there were enough thermal mass, too.

Have you ever played with dry ice? I just read of someone using it to remove old tile and mastic from a concrete floor. There was also an article on another site describing a city dropping chunks into rat holes to kill rat nests.
The thing is, I'm trying to ask, if lisp is super-powerful and a secret weapon (the general sense of the claims) why isn't the real world littered with examples of companies who seriously out-competed using Lisp?

So far all people can do is say "no, SOMEONE is using Lisp!"

Well, great, but that's not the claim from the Lisp community.

The claim is that Lisp is powerful, so powerful that it's a secret weapon. Why is there so little evidence of that power being meaningful in actual competition?
The IOC's revenue isn't tax revenue, it's sponsorship revenue[1] Same goes for Team US: as the article itself points out, one of the reasons the US Olympic athletes are so poor is because unlike many other countries the US teams' budget isn't topped up by the tax payer (but is topped up by a bunch of sponsorship salespeople who bring in more money than they get paid but expect close-to-market compensation in return). And yes, like any free market organization, the management and the salespeople are better compensated than the people who are just really, really glad to be there.

If everyone on the IOC executive worked for free without any access to their expense accounts there still would be barely anything left for each individual athlete just for competing, especially if like Team USA their local government wasn't prepared to subsidise things either. So it's really nothing to do with monopoly power either. Olympic athletes are poorly compensated because there are an awful lot of them, and most of them only get a few minutes (sometimes only a few seconds) exposure at the highest level per decade in front of audiences that enjoy watching other sports on a weekly basis

As for the athletes people enjoy watching well enough to know their name and buy their preferred hair gel, the free market means they're compensated pretty well for their brand in individual sponsorship deals. Trouble is, there aren't many Olympians that are household names, especially the ones that really need the money.

[1]sure, local taxpayers often end up underwriting an Olympics after the planners overspend on infrastructure, but that's nothing to do with what goes into the IOC president's expense account, or indeed what the athletes get

What kind of point is that?

What if I could objectively prove to the world I was the greatest masturbation enthusiast alive? The top of the world, nobody better. Do I deserve a decent living for my skills?

Just because you are good at something doesn't mean you deserve to get paid. Honestly, you get money in exchange for someone else wanting to pay you for what you do. If you can't find someone willing to do so, you would be wise to find another occupation. This is basic economics, why is this so hard to understand?

The universe/world does not "have" to pay people because they can do an activity well. However, if people want to see you do an activity AND are willing to pay to see it, the question then becomes one of cost. What we are seeing is that the cost acceptable by participants in terms of financial remuneration happens to be low. They may say they don't accept it, but their actions speak to the contrary.

What Everybody Should Know About Contracting Developers
There's been a constant tension between the desire to control nuclear weapons and the desire to ensure nuclear weapons can be used in a war. These two goals are fundamentally in conflict to an extent. For a long time, the military was more worried about being unable to use a nuclear weapon due to a breakdown in the control system than they were worried about rogue officers using a weapon without permission.

Permissive Action Links (devices in bombs which require an authentication code for the bomb to work) were resisted by the military, fearing that the codes might not be available when needed in wartime. That finally got forced on the Air Force and Army, but the Navy to this day doesn't have PALs on their weapons, because they see the risk of communications problems as being too high.

For another example, the codes for the Minuteman ICBMs were set to 00000000. They remained like this until 1977.

It's quite possible that this hardware was designed under a requirement that it would need two people to launch, but that it was deliberately engineered to make that requirement easy to bypass in case a single person needed to launch in wartime.

So in addition to proving lower layer solution to things like network congestion they also have to prove their crypto layer? Sounds like an equally large task, if not larger.

And even if all TCP implementors decide to adopt the next task is to make servers and clients adopt the crypto layer.
