I count every calorie I eat and maintain an extremely strict diet while spending only 2hr on prep/week. I heat my meal up in 30s, scoop it in, and I'm done with it, it's just fuel to me now.

I did this to enforce discipline and consistency, but now that I'm there I'd like to start introducing some more advanced cooking techniques and flavours. Where do I start? I'd love to be able to make some advanced platters for guests in the future.

I've essentially completely squeezed out all fun from food and broke down the entire process.
Looking forward to it. I'm on twitter @slice_beans or you can find an email address on https://slicebeans.com/contact
A contemporary article about Hyper-G: http://much.iicm.edu/projects/hyper-g/9.htm/

My impression was that they tried to monetize Hyper-G immediately, with the negative results mentioned in the original article. Having an open source server may have helped avoid that for both; I think Apache was a powerful force for the web.
it's not PCMCIA compatible. the connectors and housings are still available - the problem is getting hold of the chipsets. yes there are a few processors around that can do PCMCIA, but they're rapidly going out of production nowadays. you might be able to bodge something together because PCMCIA is effectively just the ISA bus... anyway... digression... :)
Quite a few strawmen here.

> If I don't know how to interpret and write code, the first thing is meaningless to me.

No. Knowledge like, for example, mathematics is unencumbered by patents and accessible to everybody. All humanity, directly or indirectly, benefits from it. Same for the freedom to read and modify code.

> If I don't check every single compiler and binary I ever run, the second thing is meaningless (open source malware is still malware)

Mandatory food labeling, traceability and hygiene standards clearly improve food safety for everybody. Same here.

>I think Heartbleed is a great counterpoint to Linus' law.

Not at all: given enough eyeballs

Besides, perfect security is impossible and some cases of food poisoning don't disprove the effectiveness of food quality standards.

> Availability of code does not change people's specializations or give them more hours in a day.

Availability of code allowed me and others to learn and review code.

> incompatible data formats happen among open source projects too.

Cherry picking again? Deliberate use of incompatible formats in order to create lock-in is very infrequent in comparison with closed source.
> With that approach, we'd have the ergonomics of languages like Erlang and Go without the significant performance tax associated with M:N.

Can you quantify the "performance tax associated with M:N"?

That said, you're right that the likes of Microsoft, Apple, and Google haven't had any incentive to make it easy for someone to easily transfer their whole computing configuration from one machine to another.

Some parts of philosophy are useful, when they are used to encourage interest in, or as stepping stones to, science and mathematics.

But a lot of philosophy has been content with its past accomplishments, not producing any new ideas, giving up on trying to progress with certain questions [1], or else just producing bullshit that is either tautological (i.e. contains no information) or simply incoherent - e.g. "deconstruction".

Science and mathematics has advanced philosophy more in the past thousand years, than philosophy has advanced itself. Aaronson has said something like this but I can't the exact quote now, but I had been thinking this earlier than that, and I'm sure countless others have too.

[1] This is different from e.g. proving that a particular question is unanswerable, since this proof gives us new information to understand the world with. Philosophy has not done this, and is incapable of doing this.

Username checks out. Joking aside, english is a very complex lanuage man and his (eg.

Only when speaking in the specific do gender pronouns mean anything. (eg. "She came up to me and said", "A group of men came in yesterday")

Agreed. I run Fedora as my main VM and it has been pretty damn solid. I tried dual booting and had some NVidia problems, but otherwise it was okay.

It is 80% there, and if I didn't just get a MBP from work, I'd probably spend some more time with Fedora outside the VM.

Either way, if MS doesn't clean up their act, I'm done with Windows after a long time of daily use.
It don't that's not the point.

By what I understand you could choose to host your media on one server in a standardized way and share them via as many other services that you want.

For instance imagine Facebook, Twitter and Dropbox comply to this standards. You put your content on your Dropbox and share it on FB and Twitter. Now with solid if you erase your data on Dropbox its erased on FB and Tweeter too. If you delete your Facebook post, the tweet don't have to be erased as well. And should you want to leave Dropbox for whatever reason you can download standardized data and upload it to a new solid compliant server of your choice and keep link working by simply updating url to your new server.

> That's about the total number of employees of ComCast, Verizon and AT&T. But those folks provide other services (like cellular service). Where is my math wrong?

Well for one you aren't adding in contractors. The people actually building the network aren't typically direct employees. The usual pattern is spend a ton of money to build out the network, earn it back through a number of years and then use the added cash flow to expand once more. Wireless networks are what the money is going to right now.

Regardless, you can look through all the various telecom quarterly reports to see where the money is going. They are for the most part profitable endeavours, but not especially lucrative (AT&T's latest quarter had a 8.67% net profit margin compared to 22.68% for Google).

TLS is a form of transport encryption, which encrypts data between the client and the server. End-to-end encryption encrypts data between two clients, so that the server cannot read any messages. The paper claims that while iMessage is marketed as end-to-end encrypted, because of vulnerabilities it is more like it just uses transport encryption.
>Why do you think they have different ranges of first-hand experiences?

Because they had studied in a university (most people haven't), have a cushy academic job (most people don't), live in nicer neighborhoods, don't have to flip burgers or drive cabs to survive, more often than not have parents who were like that, and tons of other reasons besides.

>Do you honestly think someone working at Burger King has a better understanding of the world than a professor? I urge you to actually have a conversation with such a person.

Here are the facts I know

I make 2 to 3 times a person on H1b makes. I have close to 100 examples. I am good but not three times good.

H1B is the modern day indentured labor with some American niceties to it. In all honesty as an immigrant I will tell you America treats its immigrants best than the rest of the world. So don't be surprised if there is a never ending line of people wanting to come to america.

As for the issue at hand H1B for surely suppresses salary for americans any spin on it is just spin. It does not give americans who want to change their career into IT options. It makes it harder for anyone to change jobs. Newcomers have a lot of competition with people some with real resumes and mostly fake ones. As you reach late 40's it is impossible to find any STEM jobs since no one is willing to hire you. This holds good for naturalized citizens and locals.

Since most companies who hire H1B know that the H1B will not leave them and go for a minimum of 10 years they happily sponsor. This is due to the fact that a green card roughly takes anywhere from 10 to 12 years. Cheap labor is always good for business.

The government does not care since America needs people to keep growing so they are fine with it. Legal immigration is better and taxable than illegal. Our congress is business friendly so they don't care.

This process will continue till the point where in the salaries of STEM jobs will be so low that most of us will prefer flipping burgers. At that point things might balance out since most of the americans will be looking into other fields other than STEM so no one around to complain.

Also ask the question differently when there is a serious shortage of doctors in all parts of US especially the smaller cities and towns why aren't they bringing in more H1B's there. What is stopping that from happening? This is the STEM curse.

Suggestion for all average americans there is still time try and switch to something where u don't have to compete with H1b you already have a 10 year head start. Here is an idea start a business hire H1B's.
lots of people also answered this but what you're referring to is called a "Lapdock". the first ones that brought this to the mainstream were the "Motorola Atrix Lapdock". google "Atrix Lapdock Hack" for some fascinating reading - if you're going to replicate it make damn sure you track down a Version 1 because version 2 has DRM in it.

While you have a valid point, here's what it works out for ion engines.

Assume you want 1,000 years to Alpha Centauri and your ship boosts the entire way. (It'll take a few pictures as it flies through the system.)

s = 1/2 a t^2
a = 4.22 light years * 2 / ((1000 years)*(1000 years)) = 8 E-5 m/s/s

Sounds great, right? But the final speed is:

v = a * t = 4.22 light years * 2 / (1000 years) = 2.5E6 m/s = 0.8 c (!)

Let's say your engine has a ISP of 8000 s, which is about 10x better than anything we have.

Then from the rocket equation you'll need a dry weight (payload, engines, etc.) to propellant ratio of

e^(2500000 / (9.8 * 8000) = 70,579,094,313,732 = 71 quadrillion
eg, 1 gram of spacecraft requires 70 kilotons of propellant

But wait, there's more! It takes power to push 70 kilotons of propellant backwards at 80,000 m/s.

E = 1/2 * m * (v^2) = 2E20 Joule
Since E = m c^2
=> total annihilation of over a ton of antimatter

Almost certainly more as that assumes 100% efficiency. And of course that extra ton isn't propellant, so it hits you in the rocket equation.

Note: I am not a rocket scientist and likely made mistakes. Even if I'm off by a few zeros, it's enough to show that an ion engine isn't going to get something to Alpha Centari within a few centuries.

One thing that's worth keeping in mind is that the usual term for "emerald" in Chinese is 绿宝石, which literally means "green gem". It's understandable that they might be confused about which green gems are actually "emeralds". (That particular ad still doesn't work even if you forgive use of the word emerald, though...)
I agree that we have an extremely low probability of finding a planet that could host our biology as well as Earth's given that we evolved here, but I refute your absolute claim.

Invasive species don't co-evolve to exploit the ecosystems they stumble upon. They happen upon a ecological space where there are incredibly low hanging fruit that they are better equipped at taking advantage of. Imagine space-faring humans stumbling upon a world where the oceans resemble that of the Earth's as they once existed in the 1500's--a world densely populated with an abundance of marine life, ripe for harvesting.

While there is some probability that biochemistry is not 100% universal (ie. alien metabolites could be toxic to humans or cause an immune response), I imagine there are scenarios where the same set of molecules and polymers are used. The principles of biochemistry are going to be similar in a lot of places in terms of how energy is exploited and harnessed.

I think it's incredibly more likely that humans will never be interstellar travelers en masse than to say that Earth is the optimal naturally occurring human habitat in the universe. As far as we know there is an infinite space full of limitless planets. Plenty of biological solution space with which to theoretically work / exploit.

But part of the appeal of the captivity is that you trust FB (for instance) to limit control of your data. If I upload a picture and say "Friends only", I can trust that Facebook won't allow a friend to share it wider. If I just have my data, even if there's a way to specify it's for friends only, there's no limit to the # of apps that I would have to hope wouldn't abuse or mistake that, instead of just one (FB).

I miss Suck, which felt like it started not using links for exposition:

> Cavanaugh pointed out that one particular lasting legacy of Suck's is the idea of using a link as a rhetorical effect. "People still used italics to make a point in a sentence back then," he said, explaining that the site was one of the first to use a link to let readers know what it was writers were discussing, or to point to a joke. "That was what knocked my socks off about Suck right away, was the idea that oh, the link is this funny thing."[1]

I enjoyed it when the link was like a footnote at odds with the text.

In not just car mechanics. If you're focused on areas of "social and policy significance" it's even worse to be out of touch with social reality and the effects of policies.

And in fact much much worse (and much much more common) than an engineering professor who can't fix a car.
The Connection Machine had some cool art and animation usage.

Karl Sims developed an art installation using algorithms to evolve images based on user selections. It was to see for example in Paris at the Centre Pompidou.

As you can see on his page, the installation used a bunch of color graphics screens, a Connection Machine (2^15 processors). You can see the machine on the top image on the right.
