> a typical cinema release is a pretty big file - frame-by-frame encoded as jpg2000 in 4k

In a way it's shocking that huge cinema screens ONLY project 4k. When we had film instead of digital projectors, we actually had a much higher resolution on screen. It's a shame we replaced it with an inferior technology.
Yes. If a company doesn't even manage to optimise the onboarding experience, it's unlikely that they optimise anything.

How do you do, fellow Kaleidan [1]?

We worked together with Eric Benson and Dan Bornstein on ScriptX [2], which was basically Lisp with objects instead of parenthesis.

I found ScriptX quite useful for web programming [3]: "Link Globally, Interact Locally"!

ScriptX's legacy lives on: After Kaleida shut down, John Wainwright, the architect of ScriptX, created a very similar language called MaxScript [4] for 3D Studio Max, which I later used at Maxis for programming the character animation content pipeline for The Sims [5].

> a new videogame stays off Piratebay is an extra day of full revenue.

Yes and now, You cannot say that people who pirate games are necessarily going to buy the game if it were not "free". That's the argument used by the industry to justify DRM and it makes no sense whatsoever since the market would be like 100 times bigger if you calculate things this way. It would not.
Diesel engines are by far the easiest to adapt for biofuels – even regular car diesels can run on vegetable oil (with some preparations).

So as long as we don't know what to replace internal combustion engines with, they're the safest bet, since they don't need fossil fuels.

It is only in the space of "mixed strategies" that there need be an equilibrium. And in many (most?) cases it is not at all clear how a mixed-strategy equilibrium might come about. Therefore Nash's result is more limited than it might at first sight appear.

The Economist's full article (behind the paywall) in fact repeats this claim that I consider misleading: "Nash showed that every 'game' with a finite number of players, each with a finite number of options to choose from, would have at least one such equilibrium."

An equilibrium that does not depend on the notion of mixed strategies is called a pure-strategy equilibrium. For an example of a game that has no pure-strategy equilibrium, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_pennies.

I just finished Snow Crash and found it too pretentious and convoluted, like the turn that Diamond Age does towards the ending. Besides that, it introduces a few interesting concepts, but I feel that similar ideas are developed much better in DA.

For me, Stephenson's masterpiece is Diamond Age, hands down -- minus the ending, if that could be a thing. The last chapters are too obscure just for the sake of obscurity, I've read it three times and I can't get any "deep" meaning to it, just a bunch of wow-cool-but-irrelevant text.

Regarding Cryptonomicon, the first three books, they're straigtforward, interesting, and with a lot of references and trivia but it doesn't try too hard like the "Gods" part of Snow Crash. I really, really enjoyed them.

Unfortunately, I found the Cryptonomicon prequels a nice adventure book in the traditional sense, but the characters were too flat and un-relatable, and it bored me.

Anyway, that's my opinion. Diamond Age introduced me to cyberpunk and, to date, it's my favorite novel of the genre. I've recommended it to many people and they've always liked it. I still dream of the day when we have matter compilators, and victorians look like a bunch of hipsters to me, which is both funny and very realistic. In a world full of technology, rich people will want to go back to a more... simple and comfortable age. It blew my mind.
Not the author but if I had to take a guess I'd say they might have been trying to pepper the hash: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_(cryptography).

It's not particularly useful here since if someone got access to your remote encrypted file and knew it was made with sdees, the pepper is public. However if the value was configurable by the user then it could provide an extra layer of protection against someone brute forcing the hash and getting your password.

A better approach would be to not store a hash of the password at all. The author uses it to check that the user supplied the correct password when attempting decryption - instead you can decrypt the file using whatever password the user provides (getting either correct or garbage output back), and check for a magic value in the output.

I'm not convinced. If you happen to see a fresh print, with no scratches, dirt, skipped sprockets, or speed issues then - yes - it is theoretically marginally better than a digital print.

A good starting candidate for genetically re-ingeneering would be the near extinct giant clam.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_clam

First you would need the genetically altered reduced snail - organ connected to a moveable scaffold that has the length of the longest wall you would want to extrude.
You in addition would need:
Some machinery to support the organ and to supply the nutrients necessary for building up such a structure. Also do not forget that the extruded shell material is flexible at the start and hardens out.

Another problem - the shells are rather brittle so additional material to fill the spaces between shellrooms would be needed.

New Docs Show How the NSA Used the Iraq War to Build Its Surveillance Apparatus
Yes, that's the conventional wisdom from economists.

The real problem is simple: there are a lot of people now, and more in the future, who cannot generate enough value by working to be self-supporting, let alone have a good life. They're competing with machines which are better than they are.

The conventional wisdom used to be that more education would fix this. That failed. Unemployment and underemployment of college graduates is high and growing. Trade schools like ITT, which went out of business yesterday, were even less effective. The number of educated people needed is limited, and we have more than enough.

There was the assumption that new kinds of jobs would appear. They did, but not in large numbers. Information technology is only 1.8% of US employment, down from 2.2% ten years before. The only big growth area is health care and social assistance, which is a consequence of an aging population.

Where this takes us, under standard economic assumptions, is the favela model - giant slums where most people are just surviving, with a small core group that's doing well. This is what many third world countries look like. The US is headed there, but is more spread out - the decaying slums are far from the successful cities. (That's where Trump voters come from. They're angry, and they found a demagogue. That's common worldwide, and seldom ends well.)

Remember, capitalism is not optimizing for individual income. The fitness function is return on capital.

Alternatives? Welfare was tried from 1960 to the mid-1980s; it ended up with third generation welfare mothers in giant housing projects. Having a large non-working group of poor people leads to a dysfunctional society. Higher minimum wage? Worth a try; the places that are doing it now should be monitored to see who gets laid off. Basic income? Same problem as 60s welfare. WPA-style government as employer of last resort? Maybe; Saudi Arabia does that, and they have a massive number of useless workers.

Somebody had better think of something.

That's saying that you'll make more money if you go work (or start) a startup, whereas I've seen some opposite sentiment on HN (don't have specific links, sorry) where people say your expected monetary returns will be higher at GOOG/FB or other big companies because of the high failure chance of startups.

This first few sentences of this article describe almost exactly how I've been feeling lately:

For a long time, I resisted to-do lists. I wanted the flexibility. I felt that if I kept a list, it would tie me down to a particular set of tasks. Gradually, though, I came around. The busier my work life became, the more crucial it was to have some sort of running agenda on hand.

It was embarrassing after a few times when I kept forgetting important tasks, and that pushed me towards using a todo list manager at work.

Being a developer who works almost exclusively in a terminal, I settled for using TaskWarrior (TW). I can't recommend it enough for people who spend most of their time in a CLI. I tried a bunch of different options before I found TW, and my biggest problem with anything else was the added friction and mental context switch involved in switching to another app to add a task.

Now I'm looking for something more, a task manager that works everywhere. Especially for longer projects and goals, something I can use for my personal life. While TW is great for the CLI, it lacks apps for the desktop and mobile (OS X and iOS). I've settled to using Wunderlist for now, which is the best option I could find for myself, but I'd love something that works as well as TW for the desktop and mobile, which for me is just entering tasks as a single line of text and having meta data like due date, project, categorization, etc picked out automatically (which Wunderlist does for dates but not categorization).

And one very important thing I've felt a couple of days ago when I moved to Wunderlist for my personal stuff is that at least for me it makes me feel more relaxed as well. I had a bad day a while back where I was in a panic because I had a lot of things to do personally and I didn't seem to be getting anywhere with any of those tasks. I sat down for about 30 minutes and just created tasks for everything. Since then I feel a lot easier. While I may not have made any progress on the tasks, just knowing they are written down somehow makes me feel better.

WHO suggests DDT is safe and effective to use indoors to combat malaria: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/news/releases/2006/pr50/en/

"Indoor residual spraying is useful to quickly reduce the number of infections caused by malaria-carrying mosquitoes. IRS has proven to be just as cost effective as other malaria prevention measures, and DDT presents no health risk when used properly.”

What people consistently fail to take note - Malaria is an absolutely terrible disease, killing over 1 million people/year, so even if DDT was toxic (which it's not) and only marginally helpful (Also which it's not, very helpful indoors) - it would still be worth using if it could reduce the fatality rate by even 1%. That's 10,000 human lives saved. And that doesn't even include the 200 million plus people who suffer from Malaria.

But given that DDT is neither toxic, nor ineffective, it should be used wherever appropriate.
