You're likely correct, but isn't is a bit sad that this is the case? That unless it is generally accepted (regardless of whether or not it is true) that men are discriminated against based on gender in some situations, that the only other possibility is misogyny?

On whether it matters....I had a long conversation on the phone with an old friend yesterday, he is going through a divorce and has so far been bankrupted, been dismissed from his job (due to being obligated to take too many days off to prepare for court), he only gets supervised visits with his son, etc. I predict he will commit suicide within 5 years.
There's plenty of applications for disposable materials such as medical supplies and bulletproof vests. If it's biocompatible, we could use it for flexible sutures and organ scaffolds. Further, proteins are easy to modify. Perhaps we can key the biodegradability to a specific chemical/environmental catalyst, so in normal usage it is as durable as plastic.

Here's an introduction: the GI Bill sent 2 million men to college for free from 1945-1955. In 2017, by contrast, the US has $2 trillion in outstanding student loan debt.
What a cynical view - and coming from me, that's pretty bad.

Things can improve, and in fact, they have improved quite a bit over the last several centuries.

The appeal to authority of the ancient Greeks is sometimes a good one I guess, but not always. For instance, the Greeks "knew" a lot of things that they were flat wrong about.

I wish they made a larger size, because I really like it otherwise.
I find theology and alchemy very similar. Both go to great lengths to prove something that is highly desirable for a human (afterlife and cheap gold) but very unlikely if judged with a clear mind.

Anecdotally, client-side bloat is mostly going to be ad tech -- not React & company. Since Google and Facebook have such a tight grip over ad tech these days, maybe a better fix than AMP would be encouraging server-side, rather than client-side, ad delivery.

Edit: In a way, AMP feels like a scheme by Google to force content providers to enforce the solution to a problem that Google created. They're trying to speed up the web with their right hand while slowing it down with their left.

You cannot study what -by definition- it's impossible to observe or measure directly or indirectly. Believing in God it's an act of faith, you cannot KNOW nothing.

So yes, in modern times, theology and alchemy has the same scientific value: none
Their argument isn't sound. Gerrymandering already provides extremely complex districts that are close to as ludicrous as considering particular city blocks. It's not an all-or-nothing thing. It's not like the 42% of non-voters are a random mix of people in such a randomly placed geography that it would hamper the efforts to gerrymander. Instead, we have every reason to believe that the non-voters are still segregated and partisan enough to be identifiable for gerrymandering. And the gerrymandering needs only to be partially effective to have a significant impact.

> So, we have information work where the workers actually carrying it out can't perceive the value, because it's too distributed and too many layers removed from the individual, but it's there. The apparent lack of productivity increase is because those metrics, too, are flawed and do not account for these kinds of value.

I'm struggling to understand this bit. The ultimate purpose of information work is improve profitability, typically by making more efficient use of their inputs. The appropriate metric therefore surely is whether overall productivity actually changes, and the article argues that it tends to indicate that corporations are not becoming more efficient.

Now I can see one tenable line of argument why work might be valuable to a company even as it drags down the measure of productivity: the information work is positional and therefore valuable for the individual corporation to ensure it doesn't fall behind the others even though the net result of the industry reinvesting productivity savings in additional information work is that generates the same returns as before. (The author of the article, incidentally, chairs a big group of marketing and ad agencies). Another would be the existence of diminishing returns to scale, so if firms are continue to grow they have to spend productivity savings from process improvements on additional labour to allow them to expand into more difficult markets. That certainly applies at a market level, but I'm not so sure whether it's true of individual firms.

But I'm not sure whether those were what you were trying to imply?
I have exactly zero faith that they won't abandon this in a few years and come out with something that does the same thing in a different and incompatible way. Their mode of operation seems to never stick to something but instead replace it with something similar.

When people say that Newton studied alchemy, what they actually mean was that he studied chemistry. He was studying what happens when you do different things to different elements. Sure he used the language of the time, but he was fundamentally doing chemistry. And the dream of the alchemists -- to turn base materials into gold -- was ultimately more or less realized when Henri Moissan created the first artificial diamond. Alchemy has a bad rep, mostly because it was shrouded in mystery and obfuscation, but at its core it was science, the pursuit of knowledge through experimentation.

Yes that's true, I can certainly imagine it as a possibility in the future.

Specifically for motorcycles, as many experienced riders would say, sport bikes especially can hardly even be used on public roads anyways. My old bike red-lined 1st gear at ~96mph, i.e. there isn't a public road where it is legal to "use" the first of 6 gears. They're made for a track. On the other hand, RE: safety, in the overwhelming majority of cases the safety risk on a motorcycle is to the rider not the other drivers on the road. Motorcycle accidents where the rider was at fault and a vehicle occupant was killed are likely less probable than death via choking on a bagel. So a outlawing human drivers in this case sounds more like taking away an individual's choice rather than controlling any legitimate risk to public safety.

As for cars, I agree that it will probably at some point make sense to separate autonomous cars from human drivers. There is not much way around the fact that you can kill other people easily in a car, and that a great number of people would justifiably want to opt-out of that risk if they had the option. Someone's enjoyment of driving won't be nearly enough to justify otherwise that when the time comes.
Because that's how it gets started.

Bad example: I knew nobody on Google+ but I made some new friends. The network died again, or at least I stopped using it after a year and a half or something, so it's a bad example in that it didn't work out in the end, but yeah that's how things get started. Why do you think the first million people got Whatsapp? If you don't try something new and convince at least one other person to use it, how would things ever change?
Similarly, "good" overhead like A/B testing can suck up an enormous amount of time without producing anything useful. Badly-executed A/B tests are an easy way to show single-digit "gains" over and over again without ever producing actual movement, and since executing them well is genuinely difficult there are a lot of companies which are running frantically on a treadmill.

There's a lot of business 'motion' that's fundamentally a mismatch between something looking good at an individual level, and achieving nothing on a corporate or national scale.
Is this something more than a public key server?
Unlike a simple public key server, this provides privacy protecting elements. The project utilizes Zero Knowlege Proofs (ZKP) to limit your access to keys associated with users you already know.

How is this different than KeyBase?
It is similar. Some differences include the use of ZKP, it is a generic key store designed (could be used for PGP or E2E messaging), it is designed to scale to trillions of entries, anyone can run a log, and architecturally it should scale significantly better. KeyBase is doing great work, though.

As long as we're nit-picking here, 4 months of trying doesn't mean that something is wrong. Most doctors ask couples to try for a year before seeing a specialist (unless the woman is older, then wait 6 months or less).

Take a group of fertile 22 year old women, for example. Each one has about a 25% chance per month of getting pregnant, while trying to conceive. After four months, you can expect that about 30% of the original group still will have not conceived (75% ^ 4). Absolutely nothing wrong with them, it's just a numbers game.

Spreading misinformation like "a bun in the oven within 4 months, otherwise something is abnormally wrong" is awful for couples who are trying to conceive for a few months, and already stressed out enough about it.

As I replied elsewhere, the difference is in intent. Content created to shock may be made for reasonable reasons. It's not necessarily the images themselves that causes people to lose faith in humanity. For example, if I watched a film that had a depiction of a rape, I could see it as serving some function in the story. However, the same rape conducted with real intent would have a much different meaning.

The intent to kill/maim/damage is something that has been condemned for centuries. Exceptions are made for war by those who seek power, but the solders who come out of the other end as psychologically scarred pay the price for such follies.

As for people with fringe interests, it all comes back to the golden rule. Leaving aside the murky waters of 'taking offense', any actions that impact the physical wellbeing of another should be open to public scrutiny. If I rape someone you know, that's not an act that you have to tolerate under the umbrella of free expression.
> We had a TDA (Test Driven Apocalypse) where our CI builds had crept up to 20 minutes, tests were failing randomly and development speed was at an all time low. It was extremely demoralizing waiting 15-20 minutes and getting a random test failure. We called it The Roulette.

Not enough info about the exact nature of the problem, but if the issue was too many acceptance tests (as evidenced by long duration and intermittent failures), the solution is the Test Pyramid: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/TestPyramid.html
Yes, and it pays off to know that. It explains a lot of behavior you will see.
Looking at the documentation in the repo, it sure looks to me like it's just a keyserver with a provable append-only model so you can audit every change. My cursory glance did not come up with any way to prove that the keys for a given account were actually added by someone with the authority to do so (there was even a screenshot showing that users could see when new unrecognized keys were added - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/key-transparency/ma... - which suggests that it relies on the user themselves to notice something going wrong).

The Design Overview does reference the fact that a user would have account credentials, and suggests that an attacker would have to compromise those credentials in order to change the keys on the user's account. So that's good. But that's still a single point of failure.

Compare this with keybase.io, where if an attacker compromises your account, they can't associate a new key with e.g. your twitter account thus tricking anyone who knows you over twitter into using your new key (they'd have to remove your twitter account from your profile in order to change the key). So keybase.io uses the variety of social networks as proof that your key really is owned by you, whereas Key Transparency seems to rely entirely on other people noticing via the key transparency history that the keys on the account all changed at some point (which doesn't necessarily even mean the account was compromised, it's possible the user did that deliberately because e.g. they lost control of their private key).

Note: I must repeat that I gave this only a cursory glance, and I didn't pay attention to some of the potentially-interesting properties here such as privacy protection. It's very plausible that Key Transparency does have valuable properties that keybase.io doesn't provide.

1/3 surprised me too, but the stats you cite don't say anything about the people who do read regularly, only those who don't. They don't say anything about the whole distribution. Lots of activities have skewed distributions where a particular individual is more likely to do something often or very rarely than once-in-a-while.

A single 4k/60p/24bit display requires 1.5GB/sec, about 10-15% of your PCIe readback bandwidth.

Since it has to be both written to and read back out of main memory, that's 3GB/sec, which is between 5-10% of your CPUs memory bandwidth.

It's OK for 1080p res but falls down at higher res.

Apple don't do this on their laptops either, and still employ a gmux to switch between integrated and discrete graphics for the laptop display (although that's mainly for power-saving).
How can you study the properties of something you don't believe exists?

Edit: People are downvoting this, but I genuinely want to know how "theology is the study of supernatural things" and "theology does not rely on belief in the supernatural" are not in complete contradiction.
>And I have to imagine that an Amazon warehouse and a bunch of delivery drivers is more jobs than a big-box.

It's probably fairly close - operating a checkout lane is easier than delivering packages, but stocking an open-to-the-public store is harder than loading things onto delivery trucks. Figuring that out is fun, but honestly a waste of time unless you really want to get into operations research.

The outside view is way better approach. Amazon will compete with Target on some combination of price and quality. In other words, Amazon will do some combination of being more efficient (= cause fewer dollars to be spent on labor) and providing new services that customers are willing to pay for (= cause more dollars to be spent on labor). So the two things we need to actually look at is how much a customer will spend monthly shopping at Target vs Amazon delivery, and average hourly rate of the employees required to provide marginal service. The first determines whether the economy is doing more work in terms of dollar value, the second determines how the growth is distributed between increased employment vs increased wages.
I could retire today and be very comfortable for the remainder of my days (I am 41) but man would life get boring. Even if I work on projects I haven't had time for and travelled to places I wanted to go there is still something about working day in and day out, with a sense of urgency and with a group of people to make something greater than you could do on your own that leads to a sense of purpose. I also think that if you are spending that much time covering your arse you are working for the wrong company. You should revel in doing quality work not in covering your arse.
Maybe they just believe in Thiel's free speech rights.
One of the differences between Key Transparency and other solutions is the role of certifying and logging have been separated. In other words, being in the directory does not mean the identity has been verified. The verification of control of an email address is the role of the certifier. Your requirements of the certifier are an application specific decision.
Juniper 2017-01 Security: Multiple vulnerabilities resolved in 16.1R1 release
to use etymology: theology -> theism. It's the study of divine, god, etc. that sort of thing. It's not a normal scientific pursuit. Sure, it's still an academic discipline but not one with any scientific rigor or merit. To assert that its continued existence is what makes it more legitimate than alchemy is some mix of appeal to authority and appeal to popularity.
Without seeing the actual code base, `audio_filepath = audioSubmission['filepath']` smells like a security vulnerability. Also calling `decode` on a user object seems wrong...
Maybe not if Amazon's new store eliminates checkout counters entirely. And if online shopping gets bigger, we need less shelf restockers. Amazon's warehouses are already famously heavily automated.
Leaving aside alchemy, (which one can assume most people are fairly uninformed about), the whole notion that theology ought to be considered a waste of time in modern day belies a pretty surprising degree of ignorance.

The study of God and religious ideas is equivalent to the study of human nature and the significance of existence itself. This is true regardless of which belief system you care to study.

Even avoiding deep concepts usually not found in this forum, religion remains at the heart of the greatest human conflicts of the present day, and is critically central to any understanding of the largest cultural forces in the world. Yeah, what a waste of time!
It's at least partly a matter of affordance. You could soft-deprecate .unwrap() and .expect() (emit warnings at compile time, it will be annoying but not fatal), and provide a new version of expect with a name that's more cumbersome to type (or_panic_with(...) isn't bad in that regard, but you could do even worse... or_panic_with_error_message(...) :-).

Yeah their app and streaming quality are sub par in comparison to Netflix and Amazon. The app is quite slow on the Xbox One and confusing to use overall. Streaming is usually fine, but occasionally it stutters and hiccups severely despite my internet connection being fine. I'd rather pay for HBO and download copies of their shows from a torrent server for better quality.
