Given our track record when it comes to "Wars on Concepts", initiating an outright "War on Extinction" seems to me like a sure-fire way to guarantee we go extinct within 20 years...

Maybe we ought to instead start a "War on Health" or a "War on Learning" ;)
If you include all of the costs of preparing your own meals, I don't think there is any contest. Time is expensive, the opportunity cost of a kitchen is substantial. In many cases, the cost of just those two things alone is enough to pay for all of your meals out at a reasonably priced restaurant. And we have only started to scratch the surface of all of the costs involved.

If you only look at the cost of the raw ingredients, then cooking yourself is tough to compete with. Then again, if you only look at the price of lumber, building your own furniture is pretty tough to compete with too. Is that a good way to look at it? I'm not sure.

Either way, for myself, I would quickly grow frustrated by a diet of junk food and/or eating at restraints frequently. I'll gladly take the time and pay a premium to have my own kitchen.
Hello! I'm the author of this article.

Sorry for the confusion: dd is still a very useful tool for copying disks.

The point is that you should not feel like you have to shoehorn dd into any command dealing with disks, because only dd is somehow "raw" or "low level" enough to access them.

For example, if you have a command like this:

pv file1 | gzip | ssh host "gzip -d > file2"

and you want to make it work with disks, just replace file1 and file2 with /dev/yourdisks and it's fine.

As a user, I've found AMP results to be invariable an excellent user experience on mobile. I will always click an AMP link over a non-AMP link, when on mobile, because I know the AMP link will load quickly and be usable, and the odds are good the non-AMP link will not.

Apparently this is a minority view around here. :)
I will suggest you figure out what you think makes a net positive contribution to the world and go do that. Go create that thing.

AMP was the thing that finally got me to stop using Google on my phone. Quite the accomplishment.

Perhaps AMP would improve my browsing experience if it actually worked, but I've only ever gotten a blank page when clicking on an AMP link.

I agree with most of that, however...

My aim is not to work for someone else, so I can decide to spend my limited time doing what makes me happy. When I'm getting paid peanuts there is no prospect of being able to have that choice.

I find it very difficult to just try to be happy with whatever "the man" has decided he wants me to do today.
Thanks man! The api's are better now but you're not wrong, they're limited by what is on the client.

One of the trust destroying parts of my K-12 was poetry interpretation. It became clear very quickly that we were being "given" the desired interpretation during class and not really taught to actually interpret the works.

I once challenged the head of my high school English department over the interpretation of a particular poem. They had weighed it down with layer upon layers of symbolism and interpretation but never able to answer the fundamental question of whether or not we were inventing meaning and attaching symbols and thus creating interpretation or the author intended this in his work.

I wasn't saying that our analysis wasn't important, but I still feel it's an important distinction that the pedagogy wasn't making and I got the feeling that compliance to the accepted interpretation was more desired than being able to interpret the work yourself.

Eventually I got so upset, I went and did some research and hunted down some interviews with the author which discussed the interpretation and in those interviews he explicitly called out the specific line of interpretation we were being taught as both nonsense and not at all what he meant in that particular piece and not how he generally writes.

I printed out these interviews, including revelation that the title had been added by an editor years later, made copies, highlighted the relevant sections and turned them in instead of my analysis paper and took the F. It broke all of the trust I had in the education system after that and I very much turned "off" as a student after that.

Later in college, when I felt my grades were more important to my future, I killed that little bit inside myself that fought the status quo and just regurgitated the accepted interpretation. I even became so good at it I found myself into various honors lit courses as a CS student. But I knew it was mostly nonsense and I honestly feel kind of ashamed at having learned to excel in the subject by become such a bullshit artist.

The experience was so poor that it's left a lifelong bad taste in my mouth for poetry and various other artforms that lend themselves to deep analysis and interpretation. It's largely ruined modern art for me and I find myself veering away from "intellectually challenging" works because I'm not sure if the meaning I'm getting is real, or if I'm supposed to give in to some popular interpretation -- which inevitably makes me feel like I'm being snookered.

Interestingly, modern analysis of that same poem now seem to agree with my young take on it and not the hard-line we were being force fed in high school (an invented anti-communism attachment) - but it seems only after the author made a particular point at becoming very vocal against the status quo. So small victories?

Calisthenics are also great. Most are surprised by the physique attainable.

Unfortunately the US is awful about free outdoor fitness equipment--I wish that changed.

In many countries you can easily find outdoor gyms, but in the US a playground or even a combination of park benches, a tree, and some railings will do.

For the record 99% of the time I've only received positive attention from this, but sometimes there are haters (usually either homeless people or overweight women in SUVs--just being honest).

The only weights I might buy are a couple of 10 litre water containers -- usually a few bucks at a supermarket -- for shoulder exercises.
At the risk of becoming a target for abuse, one of the big breakthroughs I had in therapy was connecting with a therapist who was able to use attachment theory to help me understand my feelings and emotions in the context of romantic relationships.

As a child, I lost my mother to cancer and my father was alternatively abusive or absent. I carried those scars forward into adulthood.

Therapy grounded partly in attachment theory helped me and I'm glad to see it gaining ground as a useful tool to help people.
The Robot Rampage
If you compare the same meal and don't account for the time you spend cooking it, it will be cheaper to do it yourself every time. If you go to fancy restaurants it's not even close.

You just have to compare the price of a soda, ~$3 and up (usually $5), to its price at the supermarket and you'll have your answer. Wine is also an easy one, with at least 300% markup even on cheap bottles. Everything is marked up like that (maybe calling it 'markup' is not really fair as they provide other things and not just a meal, but you get what I mean.)

I've been cooking for years and not even trying to save money meals are less expensive.
I'm not sure about philosophy, but for physics, the most elegant expression of new discoveries is mathematical equations and numeric measurements. The words used by the original discoverer are not that important, because they just introduce the equations and numbers and provide context. When they appear in textbooks, the equations are usually expressed in the same form as the original discoverer expressed them, so in that sense, you are reading the original (equations).
If there's any better example of why the business world sucks than this story, I'm yet to hear it.

I hope you found something else to do that you enjoy/get paid appropriately for.
The case of Rosa Parks wasn't even close to saying “fuck you” to the law, because she did immediately submit herself to the law (as did MLK and other civil rights activists that spent a lot of time in jail).

Civil disobedience not only requires submission to the law, but is most effective when the threat of punishment is existential (e.g. lengthy incarceration or death). Since Uber’s existence depends on defiance of the current laws, it is manifestly impossible that the company’s actions are in any way a form of civil disobedience.
A large energy boost and increase in short term memory capacity, for me. I find it greatly that the amount of perceived/predicted effort of any given task that my brain subconsciously computes is greatly reduced - I don't have to "convince" myself to do a chore, I will just simply do it, etc.

And dark net markets are a very accessible source. If you choose to do so, try to make sure that they're not going to scam you- find out the supplier's reputation before purchase.

undergrads aren't going to get $100k straight out of college.

That's normal in Silicon Valley/San Francisco and NYC. In Seattle, it is normal at the larger tech companies.
As mentioned already it's not. However, as a Canadian who now lives in the US, the difference in availability, especially in metro centers, is stunning.

Junk food is a fraction of the price, and it's everywhere. In my home town I used to make my own lunch and eating out was a luxury, because I felt it was too expensive.

Here, as a software engineer I make roughly 3x my old salary for the same job (not representative, but it's my current situation either way), and junk food is 50% cheaper or more. I used to have to take a bus to go to an ice cream shop. Here they're at every street corner. There was only sit down restaurant everywhere I used to work aside the occasional McD and Tim Horton (I didn't work downtown). I work in an equivalent area now, and there's like 40 takeout restaurants within walking distance.

And then you have Foodlers, Grubhub, etc, that are far, far more popular and "accepted". Those things exist up there, but not nearly as many people use them.

So I got into bad habits. Only cooking a few times a week. Eating out is so cheap in proportion to my salary it's a no brainer compared to the time saving.

That's until my health started to suffer, that is!
That's fascinating. I figured you must have had some significant reason(s) to make such a drastic step. I'm glad I poked through this subthread and I'll certainly remember you!

Amp loads fast. News pages are so bogged down with extraneous bullshit these days it feels like internet speeds are moving backwards. Also, I'm getting access to the Financial Times through Amp, I've never been able to read it before.
True. But, having looked briefly at the paper, I would hesitate to conclude that we are seeing the same biological / physiological effects manifesting themselves as similar behaviour as yet.

Convergent evolution- similar problems, similar solutions: but the mechanisms and nuances can be entirely different. And it is these nuances / small but significant differences that differentiate species.

Perhaps the common observation reflects the fact that, in any moderately complex animal "society" or group, certain outcomes are likely given similar circumstances.

However, not withstanding my general dismay at evolution being projected as a hierarchy with humans at the top (while evolution, if at all it is "acting" in a particular direction, is niche optimisation) there are far far too many subtle differences between humans and other primates.

I find it mildly distressing when scientists draw parallels with human society based on animal studies. I strongly feel that we still understand far too little of physiology and behaviour, even for rodents, to be able to draw such parallels. The risk is, we organise and plan actions that impact others according to a false model, which can have disturbing consequences.

To further muddy the waters, here is a paper that showed that fear conditioning in mice can be passed down epigentically to the progeny. It is a very good paper; but if you look at the citations, there is rigorous debate about the interpretation. Do read Brian's statement (the lead author) towards the end of the article. We know far too less right now to make any strong statements.

Too late to edit and I wanted to quote the second link correctly:

"The 10% of the total supply that makes up the Founders' Reward is distributed between launch and the first halving (at block 850,000). During this period (which will last approximately four years), half of the total monetary base will be generated. After the first halving, there will be no more Founders' Reward, and all newly-created ⓩ will be received by miners."

I make no judgment on whether this is good, or bad, or other, just wanted to present the source's position on the matter.

The mouse utopia experiment seems to apply disturbingly well to humans. Birth rate in urban parts of highly-developed nations (our utopia) has plunged way below the replacement rate. That's exactly what happened with the mice.
Eh, we're a country that also allowed slavery for decades and only allowed a minority of citizens to vote for most of its history. I'm willing to embrace an expansive definition of the "US."
It does if you refer to the bogeyman without pointing out that it's false. You said terrorists are an existential threat, not that some (crazy) people think they are.
I wonder how long some microcontrollers have been running in cars.
In the toy example given in the linked page, with the A->B link in place the global optimum (in terms of total minutes spent travelling) is for 1750 cars to travel Start->A->End for 67.5 minutes of travel, 500 cars to travel Start->A->B->End for 45 minutes of travel and 1750 cars to travel Start->B->End for 67.5 minutes of travel. This gives a total of 258750 minutes spent travelling.

If you imagine that one of the Start->A->End travellers switches to Start->A->B->End, we now have 1749 cars travelling Start->A->End for 67.5 minutes, 501 cars travelling Start->A->B->End for 45.01 minutes and 1750 cars travelling Start->B->End for 67.51 minutes. The car that switched improved its own travel time from 67.5 minutes to 45.01 minutes, but the total time spent travelling increased to 258750.01 minutes (one driver saved themselves 22.49 minutes, but cost 2250 other drivers 0.01 minutes each).

So yes, if you found yourself in that second state, to improve the global optimum you would have to move to the first state by de-optimising the route of one of those 501 Start->A->B->End drivers.

I keep hoping back and forth between iPhone and Android. However, I didn't need a phone when the Pixel came out and thus didn't pay much attention to it beyond noting that it's more premium and thus its successor might be a real alternative for my next phone.

That being said I also wasn't very interested in the iPhone 7 for the exact same reasons. However, I heard all about it organically at work because people keep talking about the cameras, missing headphone jack etc. Same with Alexa where co-workers talk about ordering stuff through it via prime with visitors on the house just to show off the device to them.
I have that exact TV and have been using it as a monitor for a while.

The input lag is actually fairly bearable in the recently updated game mode for development and everyday use, though I certainly wouldn't use it for competitive gaming.

My main issue with it as a monitor is the Automatic Brightness Limiter. Rtings has a fairly good description of the symptoms: http://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/lg/c6

Basically, the brightness of the TV varies across a huge range depending on the content being displayed, with brighter content causing the TV to dim itself automatically. It's a huge distraction on a day to day basis because every time you switch to a new tab in a browser or minimize/maximize a tab, you can see your entire screen dim/brighten. There is no way to turn it off completely AFAIK, even through the TV's service menus. The workaround I've found involves setting the contrast level to 55 or below, which reduces the max brightness of the TV and makes the ABL changes much less drastic, but it's definitely still noticeable and distracting, and of course the contrast and max brightness suffers.

If I had known everything about this TV that I know today, I would not have bought it to use as a monitor (would probably have gone with some high end LCD with good local dimming). Watching movies on it in a dark room is an awe-inspiring experience though, and is what makes me reluctant to go through the trouble of returning/selling it and getting something else. That's my 2c anyways, feel free to make use of this information how you will.
For what it's worth, you can get this same functionality in desktop chrome in slightly fewer keystrokes using the custom search engines. Doesn't work on mobile, or at a public machine though.

The top bar in google AMP results is super annoying (and hidden url's are cherry on that, making it difficult to share url's correctly).

That said rendering speed of AMP is quite noticeably faster than navigating to the actual site - or at least for more popular tech oriented news type sites.

Great point, thanks!

Wikipedia says KIC 9832227 is "almost 1800 light years away" while SN 1987a is "167885 ly" from us. There should be an inverse square relationship for the intensity of light reaching us by our distance from the object, so light from this nova should be

You have: (167885 ly / 1800 ly)^2
You want:
Definition: 8699.1893

times brighter than that from SN 1987a due to proximity (which would still be much dimmer than the full Moon). However, the expected nova is also far dimmer to begin with:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_red_nova#Characterist...

"The luminosity of the explosion occurring in luminous red novae is between that of a supernova (which is brighter) and a nova (dimmer)."

So I'm still going to say "safe to observe with a telescope".

Does that include subsidies? I would assume, based on your income as a founder, that you'd qualify for subsidies for plans on healthcare.gov. If you don't (>$60-70k/year income), even high deductible plans are in that monthly range you quoted (my individual high deductible marketplace plan went from ~$290/month to ~$500/month [$9000 deductible], so my wife, daughter, and I are now on a PPO plan at $1300/month).
That is what the high deductible insurance or health savings account is for.
