Well that is the default state of human affairs in general. Even Kay mentions that he was in a funk and hearing these great ideas from others and then putting them into slogans is what helped him repair part of his brain damage. Inventing the future is hard work, not everyone is cut out for it.

I don't think having a negative spin on having a buggy brain is the constructive approach. Avoiding the pop science is really the key point Alan Kay keeps going back to. Learn from the elders, there is much wisdom in the history of computing.
My ISP in the UK actually modifies the result of any lookup of google.com/google.co.uk regardless of if I am using their DNS or not.

I don't think this specific example is malicious (it's part of Google's Edge Network I guess? I wouldn't know), but it does show that they're already capable of modifying the DNS lookups ran by their customers.
Have you tried mulching the leaves on your lawn? ... collect up your leaves and spread them out on your lawn(s). A couple of passes at right-angles with a mulching mower (not bagging obviously) and the leaves are obliterated and your lawn is put to bed for the winter. Supposedly the leaf litter & grass clippings rot down together to properly feed the lawn.

You know what, though? This isn't their world any more, it's ours.

One of the mistakes they made that we're all still suffering from was in how difficult it is in practice to amend the US constitution. Even the late great Antonin Scalia felt this way--in some interview he gave somewhere, he said that, if given a magic wand and the ability to change the constitution, he'd simply make it easier to amend.

Happily, there are people working on the electoral college problem, e.g. http://nationalpopularvote.com.

We are a public company, no guessing required. Here is the relevant press release and quote:

That's super interesting.

I have no medical background at all, but I wonder if this could be related to the dopamine hypothesis of Tourette's. [1]

Bruxism and other mandibular issues can be associated with dopamine dysfunction. Normally I wouldn't think that the jaw could actually cause the problems, but perhaps there could be some kind of feedback loop there tied to dopamine.

There might be something that you can do - probiotics. There has been research that the microbiome is at least somehow linked to anxiety [1].

Not just any probiotic - there's a lot of unresearched crap being sold, some even dangerous (e.g. some soil based organisms can become opportunistic). I can recommend L. Plantarum 299v (this strain reportedly does not produce d-lactic acid, which is really desirable, as probiotic use could lead to acidosis [2], [3]), E. Coli Nissle 1917, and maybe a well researched soil-based mix (Prescript Assist maybe, they claim that it's the best researched probiotic in its class). Testing your biome at ubiome could provide you with info on what is missing, or what group of organisms is underrepresented. I haven't tried that yet though.

Sorry for not providing links to studies for all my claims, as I'm not at home, but all that should be easy to back up by searching at pubmed.

> Life is hard enough without your partner making things that should be easy difficult.

Would you make the same argument about a partner with cancer, or Alzheimer's, or multiple sclerosis?
Throwaway for obvious reasons. We do approx $5MM of annual business through Stripe.

#1 reason is lock-in and momentum. Stripe has, bar none, the WORST support of any company in existence. And they don't care to ever change that, having made noise about it for years, but expending precisely zero effort on that front. We would love to move.

But we stay, because we utilize Stripe's card tokenization in order to "store" repeat customers' payment information without having to deal with PCI-DSS compliance processes. If we moved, all existing customers "stored" payment information would, by necessity, go away.
Maybe I'm writing it in C because I like the language, enjoy using it and am good with it? And I know it works everywhere I want it, even years later? I hate to be told what I should or shouldn't use.
We'll have to see how the Chevy Bolt does. That's the first mass-market electric car.

Electric car tax credits in the US are halved after a manufacturer sells 200,000 electric cars. Chevy is likely to hit that in a year or so. So is Tesla.
Top 10 Greatest Olympians of All Time
When your partner has anxiety, every problem you have now becomes two problems.

Because when you have a problem (work, health, whatever) you now either have to

(1) figure out how to tell your partner without causing a meltdown (which will probably fail no matter what you do) or...

(2) just keep it to yourself (obviously unhealthy)

So that sucks. You have to partially mitigate it by reducing your partner's overall stress levels. And also learning how to communicate while tiptoeing through the fucking minefield of their emotions without getting your legs blown off. (Except the mines are moving so, good luck with that)

It's not their fault, they didn't choose this. You did.
A curated list of Microservice Architecture related principles and technologies
I think it is funny how Jane Jacob's arguments are so similar to those of Venturi defending the "commercial strip" architecture which is also a vernacular architecture. (i.e. Learning from Las Vegas is the only architecture book where they have quotes about their designs such as "If this is what I wanted I wouldn't have hired an architect")
I don't tend to assume advertisements provide an unbiased review of a product. Also, I think pointing out submarine advertising tends to produce more informed consumers.
It's not really comparable. He wasn't editing Private Messages between two people, but public discussion (which was calling him a pedophile supporter).

The reddit admins aren't known for making the greatest judgement calls, but that just makes them more human.

The fallout of this will probably be a bunch of nothing. It doesn't affect the 90% of lurkers, nor the rest of the site which doesn't give a shit about US politics. The people who it does affect (/r/The_Donald) will find that they need reddit to attract new users. It's doubtful their community could stand own their own or it would have done so already. It's no secret that they didn't trust the admins before the election.
Sure, but the rules of the game were set before the candidates started playing. You can't lose and then retroactively change the rules to give yourself the victory.

In theory they could also fail because they're wrong about something else, but whose problem is that? Either they can figure out how to have competition without regulation, or they can't and we need network neutrality.

10% of cars being electric is huge when it comes to limiting demand. It's enough to whittle gasoline capex down to practically nothing, raising its price and driving more and more electric adoption.

Electric cars are an order of magnitude more efficient than ICE cars. The only thing keeping them from going mainstream is the existing industrial base. With growth now impossible in that sector, mainstream adoption is just around the corner.
We had an IBM ESS "Shark" back then. A fantastic piece of kit but totally overkill for us in the end. It was basically the size of two or three standard racks, full of shelves for drives, and two RS/6000 AIX servers, and trays of redundant controllers.

You could pull trays of drives, one of the RS/6000's, or any of the controllers, and it'd keep on humming along thanks to redundancy pretty much everywhere. If any components went bad it'd call home to IBM via a modem.

And it could do things like automatic mirroring to a remote site.

1.5TB was a common configuration, but you could connect multiple boxes to increase capacity.
You're confusing federalism with the politics surrounding the electoral college.

The motivation for the electoral college had nothing to do with the values you've outlined in your post.

Incidentally, re: your thought experiment, we'd also have slavery and women wouldn't be allowed to vote. The politics of 1780 wasn't idyllic.
Yeah, its really a stretch. The Royal Dutch Shell guys apparently used a combined efficiency trends + electric car market share to get to a "total mean gas demand" peak. As far as I can tell for poorly articulated arguments, is that it goes something like this: We can model the gas market as the total cars on the road multiplied the average gas mileage per car multiplied by the average miles per car. As a composite number, the average gas mileage is affected strongly by cars which are on the road but use no gas. For each percent of market share which is electric only cars, its equivalent to something like a 3 - 5% reduction in the average gas mileage figure. And total market growth slows, and the percentage of electric cars rises, the actual aggregate demand for gas is going to start going down. Which hasn't happened in a sustained way since the invention of the automobile.
No, they are not. For the n-th time: there's a distinction between stories that don't pan out (this isn't even one of those!) and fakenews, which is a form of webspam.

The continued insistence that any discussion of fakenews include litigation of all the flaws of all other news media is a form of trolling, meant to prevent us from discussing the phenomenon of fakenews.

Not sure, I don't feel either way, but I was explicitly asking why someone felt strongly about it.
Yes. We were building a website for a bank and wanted to put some services in the cloud (after all, the online banking system was completely separate). The security team of the bank was originally very opposed to the idea.

It's been a while so I don't remember the specifics, but we did eventually have some but not all parts in the cloud.
Tesla is quite good at PR, and adding Tesla in a headline gets clicks. The article does say it's all the car companies, not just Tesla though.

Also Hydrogen vehicles are a thing now. Trains coming online in Germany, and Toyota are selling hydrogen cars now in Japan/USA. There are shipping container sized hydrogen production stations being produced in Germany that run on solar.

Hydrogen powered cargo ships have already been made as well. However, I'm not sure if hydrogen generation on board ships has been explored yet. Who knows... it may be possible for ships to run without ever needing to refuel if generation is done on board.

Now it's possible to use the extra power from renewables to make Hydrogen. Often solar and wind are over provisioned so they can provide extra when the sun or wind is low. However when wind or sun is high, the extra power is just wasted. Many home solar systems for example work on charging three days worth of power in case there are a couple of cloudy days. So even though conversion is only currently around 35% efficiency, that power would have gone to waste anyway.

The writing is on the wall for fossil fuels. I think this is the main reason why so many big funds are divesting from fossil fuels.

I get a different impression from the post. Rather than quitting and marriage solving the problem immediately, I think she still has anxiety, because he wrote: "She still has anxiety, and I imagine she always will. But we are able to deal with this in a much more productive way. Sure, there are times where it all gets a bit too much"

I don't think it's correct to say "None of the therapy stuff did them any good" because therapy isn't mentioned in the post. If you meant counseling, he mentioned that positively, in the context of the useful decision to quit the job: "we found a private counsellor who could help get to the route of what was causing some of this anxiety — we then discussed a lot of these sessions and reflected on them and tried to put into practice some of the advice we were receiving. We also made big and brave decisions like my wife quitting her exhausting job up in London"

To back up the parent, unfortunately, the audience is not always qualified to judge the quality of your work - for the simple reason that they have no idea what they are missing!

What they are missing from your explanation is "why". Your animation shows how to multiply two matrices, and anyone confused about the mechanics of doing that might find it helpful.

But the actual mechanics are not of much use if you don't know why they are this way. Everything in mathematics is made up by humans, so why would someone at some point write down this particular set of rules to apply to rectangular arrays of numbers?

To that end, I reaffirm the parent's opinion that your visualization only helps to confuse people, giving them a false sense of understanding. There is already too much emphasis in education on "how", and too little on "why"; the comments from the teachers you mentioned are downright scary to me.

Perhaps you will take this comment as yet another critique that is too harsh - but it must be done, so that others don't mistake your animation for an explanation of concepts behind the operation. When one understands the concepts, visual mnemonics - like the one you created - are not needed.

To start a productive discussion, however, (which, hopefully, might lead to you using your skills to come up with a version 2 of your work), I am very curious to hear your answers to these questions - which people confused about matrices might have:

1. What information is actually stored in a matrix? Why write down a bunch of numbers in a rectangle instead of, say, a list or a triangle (like Pascal's triangle)?

2. Why would one want to "multiply" two matrices? That is, why would one want to combine two matrices, and what information would the "product" matrix store?

3. Why do the rules for "multiplication" actually yield the result desired in (2)? Wouldn't some simpler rule do the same? For instance, if we have two 2x2 matrices, why not just multiply the numbers there elementwise (top left by top left, top right by top right, etc.)?

My claim is that anyone who can answer these questions wouldn't need your visualization - and, conversely, your visualization doesn't help answer these questions at all.

I'd be glad to be proven wrong, so I'm looking forward to your explanations of the three questions above.

I think this is one election where the Electoral College did it's job. One of the big issues Trump made this election was globalization. You know who benefits from globalization? People who live in metropolitan areas. Who pays the bill? People who live in small-town America. We are a federalist republic for this very reason -- to limit the ability of the majority to shoehorn the minority.
Insulting the mods is definitely against the rules of the_donald rofl. They take after their ~God Emperor~

As easy as it is to hate Zuckerberg here, it's not all black and white. I think his "it's better to have a restricted conversation than no conversation at all" may have a deeper meaning.

I have worked with a Chinese company for a couple of years and been to China too. I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I think he might be on to something here.

It seems to me that China is on the verge of a major unrest upon freedom. So far most of the people are quite happy with the fact that their material well-being has literally multiplied in a very short time. That more than covers the limited freedom they currently have. After all, they haven't had a chance to get used to a great degree of freedom at any point in their history sofar.

However, increased wealth only carries so far. At some point the newly appointed members of the upper middle class are bound to start wondering, why theír offspring regularly gets bypassed by the offspring of the party officials in entering the top universities. That's going to be a big deal.

At that point attempts to suppress free speech will have an inflammatory effect. I believe this will happen in the next ten or twenty years and it cannot be avoided. What happened in Thailand a few years ago will happen in China, scaled up to two levels of magnitude.

I don't care much about Facebook or whether Zuck's motives here are entirely self-served or not. I do assume free speech in China will be a hot issue sooner or later and that Facebook may play a big part in connecting their Chinese users to the rest of the world.

I wish all the best to China, the Chinese people and my Chinese friends. Such spontaneous friendliness I have not met anywhere else. May your road in joining the domain of freedom be as smooth as possible.

Google today is operating as if they're Google 10 years ago - back then they were an incredibly exciting company with more potential than practically any other business if you were a talented developer. That really isn't the case now. Google are still phenomenal, but so are other companies now. Google can't say "do it our way or you get nothing" when a good potential hire will be interviewing with half a dozen or more other 'unicorn' companies, especially when those other companies are doing world-changing, ground-breaking work whereas Google's core products are mature, essentially finished things that lack that excitement.
