This is something I cannot understand about Google and I think definitely needs to change. Here's the absolutely great thing about customer support that Google hasn't grasped yet: You let your customers talk to you and in turn you get the chance to remedy their problems and allow them to love your brand more. If you're getting a lot of support calls then you can know customers want something fixed and aren't happy. It's a feedback loop that in the end strengthens your brand. Apple has proven this. Since Google has the money, I cannot understand why they don't get this.
Fair enough. It is vim -- I still refer to it as vi because I'm that old. And yes, I do take advantage of undo and syntax highlighting. I'm sure quite a few of the modalities I use over the years have been added (oh! Tabs, very important). But the point is, relatively old control interfaces can be very effective even after 30 years.

I'm sure some people do that. That's business acumen, however, not my personal forte.

Not many brilliant people ever become rich. To become rich takes not just cleverness or even genius, but the ability to convince others to invest in it and not simply fuck you over.

For myself, I'm just not interested in inventions. I'm far more interested in math and geology, so I spend most of my free time just being amazed by the earth. I'm no better at inventing a million dollar idea than the next guy. Probably worse, since I have literally spent hours investigating the wear patterns and flaking on a rock outcropping and considering the forces involved in it.
How much did you pay to get it replaced? Did you use ubreakifixit? My Pixel died in a similar way, fell out of my hand while pulling out of my pocket, fell on the floor, screen dead. I went back to my iPhone 6s but the day after my Pixel died my Daydream headset arrived and I'd really like to try it at least once...

It would not prevent you from receiving updates, it would prevent you from receiving updates for free. You may of course pay somebody to update 2.7 for you. The Python Software Foundation never promised they would continue maintaining any release indefinitely, and it's unreasonable to expect them to do so. But in fact they are continuing to fix critical bugs even in 2.7, so they are being generous. Nobody is being blackmailed or repressed.
+1. Also it's easy to write code that supports both, so if you really need python 2 support right now (surely AWS Lambda python 3 is coming soon, you can already use it unofficially) that's a much better option than being entrenched in python 2 (mainly the string handling is the issue for buggy code that'll run in 2 but not 3).
Oh, I'm sorry. I should have been clearer.

I'm not stressed about not being a millionaire or anything like that. I'm old enough not to be aiming, or expecting that anymore.

I just want something that's somewhat rewarding which can also provide a roof over my head.

Thanks for your comment.
I honestly can't tell whether that's the output of a Markov chain trained on arXiv. I need to read more until I can tell the difference again.
Breaking it down to microservices, could you not have some parts as 2.7, like any that need a specific library that does not have Python 3 support, and some in 3. Or for that matter GO, or RUST?
One fun thing that's an endless and pleasurable time sink for people who like to learn things is reading and analyzing medical studies. Just go to pubmed.com and look up anything. If you don't understand a word, just look it up on Wikipedia, and just keep going. There are millions of papers to read and you can follow those rabbit holes around forever. It's endless entertainment and fun trivia. You shouldn't bother your doctor with it as it's like talking about digital compression technology with the cable tv installer, but it's a huge corpus of very interesting knowledge nonetheless.
Don't even start with Mensa. You'd be hard pressed to find a more smug collection of assholes on this planet
This is such a tough thing about the arbitrary grading styles of grade school. They're grading to "help you improve", not to confirm your abilities. However, as you see it very much can hinder your abilities without the right teacher! I remember many experiences where I lose faith in the teachers ability to accurately grade. It's down hill for many of us from this point without solid mentors.

This changed for me in college. I hope it got better for you as well.
Or you just mishandle your devices. Never had a case/screen protector or anything on every device I've ever owned and they're all still spotless (my iphone 6 is 2 years old and I still get comments regarding how new it looks).

Look after the device and don't go throwing it around.
Here's an observation. HIPAA applies to health care providers, insurance companies, and other entities like that. HIPAA does NOT apply to me when I am in possession of my own personal health records. Not saying such an app should not be secure, but for me to hold my own records is regulatorily simpler than HIPAA.
That is an extremely loose definition of freedom. Ever heard the dictum "One man's freedom ends where another's begins"? Or, as somebody once put it: "My freedom to swing my fist ends where your face begins."

Liberty for all is only attainable when all restrict their individual liberty to accommodate others. If that isn't the foundation of your society, "homo homini lupus" is what you get.
Anyone else fascinated by the "window of comprehension" mentioned in the article? It's really fascinating to me. As the article says, it's the idea that "no meaningful communication is possible among people not sharing a common window of 30 IQ points."

I have no idea how true it is, but it's a really interesting idea. At least in my experience it's a probabilistic thing: as people get more different in IQ communication becomes harder, with a few exceptions.

What do you all think?
Costanza was ahead of his time.
this tells me that knowing you're smart can be more of a problem than being smart with no outlet, which fits nicely into my anecdata-backed perceptions. =)

e.g., i've known smart people who have gone on to have ordinary lives and it doesn't seem to have lessened their quality of life. sure, society at large didn't get as much benefit, but individual flameouts are probably one of the reasons we don't fully optimize for maximum societal contribution.

i've also known smart people for whom knowledge of their high intelligence has not only been a burden but a hindrance to their personal success and fulfillment.

the global optimum is probably not made of a bunch of local optima methinks.
Great idea. Much more power efficient than bus. And roads require maintenance when its raining, freezing or snowing. This thing will just work.

I'm not sure of numbers but AFAIR both kfreebsd and khurd have 80% of packages in the archive and even getting to this level requires Linux compatibility hacks like procfs support

Interesting... Maybe this a lingering effect of encouraging a politics-free environment.
What do you mean by "relational language"? I'm imagining SQL when you say that, but I guess you have something different in mind. You've piqued my interest.
But there's no real precedent for an entire society needing few workers, so I'm not sure that either of us could guess with any certainty what would happen. I'm not saying things will work out, but it's never been tried to the best of my knowledge.
I second this wholeheartedly. I used to watch SportsCenter at night before going to bed and in the morning when I was getting ready all the way back in high school (97-01).

I don't even watch it for more than 10 minutes a week now. I've gotten the EXACT highlight I wanted without waiting on a bunch of crap already online, and the rest of it is just the sports equivalent of political punditry. Just throwing around 'hot takes' for the sake of having something to say.

For every highlight package there's like 3 sob story human interest pieces that are so contrived (the swim team was only LOWER MIDDLE CLASS and they sold hay bales to make it to the state tournament!) that I just get pissed and turn it off.

Let's not even talk about how many commercials are in the middle of their sports broadcasts.

ESPN and SC in particular were where you went for the best of the day in a tight, smart package. You had just enough 'funnies' that something as inane as a Scott Stuart 'Booya!' stood out, and the human interest pieces were actually interesting tales of genuine grit and empathy.

I was barely a watcher anymore by the time all the Tim Tebow is Jesus stuff came out, but that probably pretty much soured me forever.

I don't read the articles, I don't watch the shows, but I do feel that (generally) their prime sports broadcasts are top notch and everything they do has a better quality level than FS1.

EDIT:
A question, since I'd imagine the VAST MAJORITY of ESPN's subscribers come from cable package bundling, doesn't it stand to reason that as long as ESPNs decline isn't in stark contrasts to cable/satellite subscriptions that it's more of a condemnation of the entire ecosystem?

I, BTW, would absolutely cut the cord except for I love sports, pretty much all the major US sports. I have kids so going to the bar or a friend's place to watch the game doesn't always pan out, and sometimes if it's a game I'm hugely interested in I would rather be at MY house, on MY couch, watching MY TV and not being interrupted (any more than what 3 kids under 4 can do). Other times I want the game on in the background while I'm getting stuff done around the house.
You might be color blind. I noticed the same problem and I am tritanomaly color blind. You can see if you are here:

For me, clicking the tritanomaly button doesn't really show a difference, but my friends say it's a drastic difference.

I've lived most of my adult life not knowing. I previously thought there were just a lot of designers that picked poor color palettes. Humorously, I thought they were color blind!
I think parent commented is saying whatever aspect you're into you're likely to find renowned experts in the US, not that they are only in the US. It's a big country with a diversified industry, so by nature you'll find lots of opportunity. That does not mean you can't have experts elsewhere. You can find experts at something you only find in Russia or only India, but overall they are less diversified.

That said, work where you feel is best for you, given your capabilities.
How close does the Windows 10 Linux subsystem come to what you need to develop?
I'm going to put this out there. Gifted children need mentors more than they need teachers who understand their abilities. There are many things that will make them struggle in school, and without a mentor to be there with them offering advice and keeping them grounded then there's going to be the same issues popping up over and over with each new year.

What we need is a sort of Big Brother/Sister program but not for at-risk children in the traditional sense, but highly gifted children who will be lost without someone to help guide them through the problems they'll face in early life.
This is a great idea, but the point is to find problems not solutions :)

Fat people hate hurts because it's true; it's an external reminder of one's own self inflicted flaws. Random internet hatred is easier to ignore since it's entirely external.

After Brexit, I'm not sure I and many others would be comfortable allowing "greater citizen involvment" such as directly voting on bills or policies. I am politically against such a motion and am a proponent of greater technocracy; letting experts decide what policy is best rather than the masses who can easily be duped by demagogues or other post-truth elements.
Having an extraordinary amount of intelligence in a world full of people who don't can be extremely challenging and distressing. I'd even go so far as to call it a disability. It's very hard to understand where people are coming from, it's hard to phrase things in a way that makes you relatable and understood. It complicates a lot of things if you haven't made a deliberate effort to practice fitting in.

It's especially difficult if you have people expecting you to succeed, to make astronomical amounts of money or get perfect grades, or whatever, while you don't feel motivated to achieve these sorts of things.

It was difficult for me being isolated intellectually, that there wasn't many I could talk to about Complicated Things. A grade school math teacher is not prepared for this sort of thing. At least today there's ways of getting in touch with actual experts in the field and digging deeper into topics that used to be completely off limits.

I've learned to zen out, that it's not imperative to be productive all the time, that not every "cycle" is wasted if not doing important stuff. A little meditation to calm the avalanche of mental activity can be profoundly helpful.
I highly recommend against doing a chargeback unless it's your last resort. Talk with customer support where you bought the phone from first, telling them you intend to chargeback if they don't resolve the issue. Most businesses consider chargebacks to be a form of fraud and it may sour your relationship with the business.

Chargebacks that are disputed can affect your credit rating as well.
It's hard to gauge (pardon the pun) where to start you based on that.

I'll guess that you're keen on understanding the General Relativity part in detail.

Carroll and ‘t Hooft have kindly put up lecture notes that might be a good starting place. Stefan Waner has made available good lecture notes on differential geometry in the GR context.

https://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9712019 [Carroll]
http://www.staff.science.uu.nl/~hooft101/lectures/genrel_201... ['t Hooft]
http://www.zweigmedia.com/diff_geom/tc.html [Waner]

If you can wrap your head around those you could proceed to any of the standard grad texts on GR (MTW, Wald, Weinberg mainly). Weinberg is popular with people who like concise maths.

If it's all too novel, then Hartle, Schutz and Carroll all have excellent introductory texts aimed at grad students.

Once you understand how General Relativity works as a general background to any field theory -- classical or quantum -- then you'd be ready for semiclassical gravity or various quantizations of GR.

An alternative approach might be to aim you instead towards QFTs via group theory, Lie groups, Yang-Mills theory, renormalization, renormalization group flow, and so forth.

Eventually you hit on gauge/group correspondence arguments in general, which will equip you to understand the attractions of AdS/CFT in moving the tedious calculations from one setting to another setting in which they're a lot less tedious, and hopefully not fall too hard for the idea that AdS/CFT automatically helps us with gravity and matter theories in our universe.

There is certainly ample scope for talented mathematicians to test the correspondence argument (and especially whether AdS/CFT specifically or gauge/gravity generally really is a duality) rigourously.

I think that'd cover all the ideas touched on in comment you replied to.

PS: Sorry I meant to list off some QFT resources for you but I have run out of time today. :(
I was also thinking of Duolingo as a really successful example of this. My daily commitment is less than 5 minutes, but I often end up doing some extra once I get started.

Language learning is particularly good for the "little bit every day" method, because I find that I can only retain a little bit of new information in a single session (so there's no point in studying for an hour straight), but daily repetition really helps it sink into my long-term memory.

The print statement has a lot of special magic like '>>' and trailing commas that uglifies the parser.
this seems like an observation rather than a hard-and-fast rule, meaning that we can use social skills to "break" the rule. if i'm high intelligence but low on impatience, then the rule seems to be true for me, since i'll just give up on talking with low intelligence people (according to the rule). but when i'm feeling generous and patient, then i can have a lot more compassion and empathy to see the world the way the other person does without worrying about what the "intelligent" position is.

rationality (what intelligence is good for) is only one input to our decision-making, and i believe intelligent people particularly need to periodically remind themselves of that (rather than allowing supposed rules like this to short-circuit our behavior).

The article is talking about people who drop out of school or don't go to college in the first place, and can't hold down a job. 82% of Mensa members have a four-year degree, and their median income is above average. Their demographic is clearly not concentrated on people like this. I'm sure many of their members have unfulfilling jobs or unfulfilling lives, as is the case with many people in general, but that's a different thing entirely.

(I feel like I should clarify that I'm not a Mensa member and don't really care about the organization one way or another. I was just curious about the initial claim and looked up the basic membership demographics.)

I registered a business entity in California and there's a company in Sacramento that does that.

> You shouldn't bother your doctor with it as it's like talking about digital compression technology with the cable tv installer

You might need to find a new doctor. The good ones that I know, including one of my parents, read medical papers all the time to stay up to date on studies which are obviously relevant to their job. There are numerous inventions that have come about because of inventive strategies applied by doctors. Maybe this doesn't apply to all doctors, but the ones I have interacted with (in the US) are quite intelligent.
I work in an environment like this. The need for TDD and CI are greatly reduced through the use of modular code design, encapsulating major logic/system units with a uniform API, and coding standards. The emphasis is inherent program quality as opposed to external quality checks. One consequence is the discouragement of individual creative flourish: "clever" code is discouraged, and descriptiveness is favored over terseness. This makes the code easy to understand, to modify, to check for correctness, and to reason about. Of course, there are still unit tests and integration tests, but their role is more low level and less visible.
