Thank you! The FDA was created under the Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics Act. According to the law, everything they regulate falls into one of these categories. Sort of an animal/vegetable/mineral thing. Interestingly, toothpaste with fluoride is regulated as a drug, and without fluoride as a cosmetic. Not necessarily a big deal to be regulated as a drug... But as I dug into the regulations, I found it is actually still quite difficult to go through all the hurdles to bring a new fluoridated toothpaste to market. Comparatively, a new fluoridated mouthwash is really easy, just basic stability testing. I actually had to submit a Freedom of Information Act request to get a copy of the testing procedures. They were really something. The document I got back was a scanned pdf of a copy of a mimeograph of a typewriter carbon copy. And the testing quite onerous. They actually required animal testing for any new formulation! Pretty crazy given the well understood process of fluoridating toothpaste. So to get a product release, I'm forgoing fluoride in this version that lets me be a cosmetic. The regulations here are much simpler. There's testing, clean room requirements, ingredient safety stuff, but comparatively much easier, and I partnered with a manufacturer with lots of experience that's here in the United States.

I mean we're not talking about Baby Boomers here, chief.

There are millennials staring 40 in the face right now. People who graduated college in the late 90s/early 2000s are in their mid- to late-30s. The guy who posted this site is one of those people (though I think he misses the "millennial" cut off by 1 year).

Those of us in this age bracket are "old" by startup standards/stereotypes. I promise you college and home-buying wasn't terribly different 15-20 years ago than it is now. Still plenty of opportunity to go into incredible debt. And hell, 2016's 45-year-old who bought his first house in, say, 2000, may just have watched his home's value crash in 2006/2007.

So maybe just tone it down.

That doesn't imply they can run WaveNet yet - for inference this net is sort of worst-case serial. Their TPU ASIC is almost certainly highly parallel, like a GPU - actually has to be that way for energy efficiency (which is it's claimed benefit).

Wavenet actually looks like it could possibly have been designed to run on CPUs in production, at least after they can further optimize it some. Sampling is super slow right now because it requires an enormous number of tiny dependent TF ops and thus kernels that have huge overhead for tiny amounts of work. A custom implementation could probably circumvent that by evaluating all the layers sequentially in local cache on a fast CPU.

Or they just designed it without much concern for production plausibility yet.
I'll let you work on mine :)

You probably can't find it on a car without getting into SF, but an excessively sophisticated autopilot on an airplane could probably fit into an otherwise non-SF movie. Like the example of Airplane! but played seriously. I just assumed that's the sort of thing people were talking about with the idea coming from entertainment, since "obviously" technology in an SF movie is going to be unrealistic.

There certainly are some similar misconceptions generated by movies not usually considered to fall into the category of SF. For example, I'd wager a lot of people think spy satellites really can read a license plate from orbit, or that silenced guns just make a soft "pew" sound.

Yes but he said it was previously only 50mb. That 250mb contains a lot of duplicated compiles: tiered compilation can generate not just two but up to I think 5 different compiles of the same methods! I think code cache management in Hotspot is not that great: eventually the server would probably converge on a bit higher than 50mb due to the more aggressive inlining, but 5x suggests the low value compiles aren't being properly discarded.
I agree, going after a professorship after getting a PhD is unlikely to cause you personal bankruptcy but creating a start-up might.

Also, if your product is similar to another you may get caught in costly legal battles but this is unlikely to occur as a scientist. It will most likely "just" tarnish your reputation.

While the monetary rewards of creating a successful company exceeds a good academic career it is, as the author points out, high risk.

I wouldn't call a high risk gamble that has possibly detrimental long-lasting effects over your life and your co-founders life "sensible". I'd call it a gamble, as that is what it is.

It's always made me sad when I come across people who's entire philosophical training makes them believe that philosophy is only about playing with puzzles like "the king of France is bald" or that someone like Quine's (or Russell's or Kirpke's) work is the epitome of philosophy.

It reminds me of Schoppenhaur's maxim that "every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world."

Dammit, there can be a lot more to philosophy than language puzzles!

Limiting philosophy to just playing with them is I think one of the main reasons that most people recoil when they come in contact with philosophy as it is practiced in most academia these days. They take that to be what philosophy is all about -- as that's how it's usually presented to them by analytics.

Most people have a lot of questions serious, which are desperately important to them, and which philosophy has traditionally engaged in. But analytic philosophy often either completely ignores them or provides only the most superficial treatment to them -- treating them as puzzles or games, or buries them in technicalities. It's really no wonder that such an attitude is a huge turnoff for people for whom these issues are real and of literally life-or-death importance.

So they recoil and go back to "folk philosophy" as some analytics condescendingly call it, and philosophy as is mostly studied in academia these days climbs every higher in to its ivory tower.
I don't think my water has fluoride, though.
During one of my interviews, a couple of years ago, I heard something like "Oh, you're over 30, and you were not a manager yet? Look, I have lots of CVs of people at your age, who are managers. If you are not, then it seems like your employer was thinking that there is something wrong with you. That's why we won't go with you further in the process".

I was arguing that in my previous job I was in fact a technical team leader, I was spending half of each day on showing people how to use databases, I was organizing trainings and conference talks. I just didn't get the job of course.

The most frustrating thing I experience now is that companies don't want to have a programmer in my age. And I cannot be a manager "because you don't have any experience in managing people".

That's sad, frustrating and depressing. Especially that I'm looking for a job now.
Well, yeah, a lot of the decisions that people question have to do with not breaking existing software.
> looking at the "new trend" (ex Angular, React and NodeJS) as unnecessary

Well, I know that you were just throwing out a random example, but... I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Angular and React. They're actually pretty good, pretty clever solutions to some of the problems the plague web application developers, and help us get a long way to a flexible web environment. Even Node.js may seem "wrong" to those of us whose first experience with a computer was a command-line terminal, but people were saying that Java on the server side was unrealistic 15 years ago. And really, there is a benefit to using the same language on the server as on the client, especially as those two drift closer and closer together.

The problem I see is that the "new devs" (and their 20-year-old "startup founder" bosses) assume that Angular, React and NodeJS, being the new, trendy, hip thing, is all there is and all you need to know. As long as you know those fairly well, the thinking goes, you don't need to know anything about TCP/IP, HTTP, SSL, bash, signals, processes, threads... all the things that us old fogeys have spent decades wrestling with. I recently watched a (much younger) colleague of mine reject a candidate because he was misusing the term "route". I asked "you mean like a TCP source route? That's not really that relevant to the UI position he was interviewing for." He seemed incredulous that I didn't "know" that "route" was an "industry-standard" term for a URL (apparently that's what Node.js's Express framework calls URLs - hint, the term "route" never appears in RFC 2616, which actually specifies HTTP). THAT mentality is the frustrating one, and it's all over the place.

> By applying machine learning algorithms to data mined from court judgments...

And, with that sentence, this post becomes bullshit.

The overwhelming majority of disputes do not reach litigation. The overwhelming majority of litigation does not reach judgment. And then a gigantic proportion of those judgments are appealed, and a non-trivial percentage are overturned.

Even at that, only on the order of a single digit-percentage of disputes ever reaches a verdict.

This is like judging a hospital-system based on its success-rate for transplant surgery. It's just deeply ignorant of what constitutes the vast, vast majority of the practice of law - even in disputes.

This article has no value, whatsoever, aside from a witty aside at a cocktail party about how deeply misunderstood the legal profession is. This is particularly shocking given that litimetrics is a legal service provider.

> Although A has not faced B, if both have faced C, then we have some information about the hypothetical A and B matchup. This is the same reasoning that allows one to compare tennis players across different eras.

The implication is that the lawyer efficacy, based on judgments, is subject to the transitive property? Sweet mercy that is ridiculous.

This post is a catastrophe.

Most references I've found state that not much lithium was created by nucleosynthesis during the big bang, saying that most of it came afterwards from cosmic ray spallation of heavier elements that were created by stars.

These all seem to cite papers from around 1970 through the early 2000s, though. Has subsequent research changed what is accepted on how much lithium comes from the big bang?

One of the more in-depth looks at a very promising technology. There are very few companies rolling out networks like this in the United States (there is better coverage/adoption in the EU). It would be great to use this as an alternative to costly cellular networks (both in dollars and in battery life).
Out of the Fortune 500 companies I'd argue that most of their founders are not introverts, but some of them comes from money which helps.

Just because some introverts have seen success does not mean that all introverts starting a company will share in the same amount of success. It can, just as being an extrovert can, enable you or inhibit you.

When I first visited San Francisco for a work trip, I was so underwhelmed about my experience there, don't take me wrong I think it's a great city with a lot going on, but I couldn't help but feel like it was so overhyped. Several friends wouldn't stop talking about how great SF is, and in my mind I always had this silly image of self driving cars, entire streets dedicated to technology and all kinds of futuristic scenery before I visited but instead on my first visit I was greeted by some crackhead spitting on me while riding BART, lots of beggars and homeless people as I got out of the station and walked around, trash in the streets and it looked like just another city. Lots of restaurants and bars though, fantastic food selection.

I could be a bit biased on my view though, as I'm more of a suburb person.

I'd like to visit Palo Alto and San Jose to check it out at some point, I've heard it has a lot to offer too

> In most forms of organized gambling, the odds are against you, so the behavior only has negative outcomes.

I think lottery jackpot winners would disagree with that. You're only guaranteed a negative outcome in these types of games when you've iterated enough times to reach a statistical conclusion. In the meantime, short-term luck in the game's variance could earn you a lot of money or lose you far more than you'd expect. If the expected value of $1 bet in blackjack is $0.99, the return of a single hand will never be that; it would be -$1, $0, $1, $1.50, etc.
React actually does a fabulous job of spitting out very readable error messages. It removes so many debug cycles from development that it alone is worth switching.
If this is true, then I must be really out of touch. No one has expressed that opinion to me, nor have I seen it on Facebook in my News Feed (and I do occasionally see woo-woo stuff there). And I've certainly never heard a dentist say that. I'm not surprised that there are people who make this claim, but I would never have considered it "the popular opinion", or even a popular opinion.
> Even with a more permissive license (MIT/BSD) the developer as a user

You're trying to make it complex, but this is really simple.

GPL maximises end user freedom. BSD/MIT maximises developer freedom.

By conflating the two terms ("developer as a user") you are trying to make it seem like you can have it both ways at the same time.

But obviously and rationally there's no way for that to be possible.

When you as a user of product A decides to use your freedom and take that code to create product B, you become the developer of that product.

If product A was GPL licenced, you would be forced to provide your users with the same freedom you were granted. End user freedom preserved.

If it was MIT/BSD licenced, you as a developer could make your product closed source, and as a developer be free to take away freedoms from your end users.

Both are fine options, depending on your point of view. I'm not rating one against the other.

I just don't see how understanding these simple differences can at all be difficult.
Judging from this comment, the choice to remove fluoride seems to be a way to avoid additional FDA testing (including animal studies).
