There is only so much iron/steel to build cars

Steel doesn't really have an innate value, the value only comes when you've turned your steel into cars. If someone comes up with really clever way to make the same car using 30% less steel then we've effectively increased the total value of a fixes amount of steel and thus we are no longer looking at a zero-sum game.

Sure in a large enough time scale there are only so many atoms in the universe and you can't fight thermodynamics (we think...), but that kind of argument is really interesting when looking at a practical level and time frame.
I'm not sure what you mean by "safe". My understanding of Kent's objection is that there's no explanation for why the norm-squared magnitude is related to probability in the first place.

>> I'm passionate about solving problems and making things, especially AI and game development

Then you just got to start making them, if not.

For game development, even though a lot may not make sense, read the book 'Game Engine architecture'.

Now start making a game engine with parsers for any open format such as Collada/Quake, add sound, physics, animation. Keep doing it in parallel with a 3D game of your choice. Yes, I am asking to start off directly with a 3D game, not a popular opinion in the game learning world. You will also learn game related math, physics, AI along the way.

Write a game feature, extract to your game engine. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Why do I suggest this? This is the advice I would give to my younger self ;-)
The letters C, Q, and X are redundant for representing sounds in English, but are used uniquely in Chinese pinyin, from which English might plausibly import thousands of words in the very near future.

This is one of the more fascinating books that I've read recently. The commentary makes the paper itself very accessible. I rather enjoyed the direct reproduction of the paper itself (with typos!) in the book, and the near line by line commentary at points. It's not the way that I would want to be taught about Turing machines, but it's amazing to see them articulated for the first time.
So let me get this right. This hypothetical includes a $200k salary. Once you consider Federal income tax, FICA, and State income tax, you're sitting $130k in CA and NY, $135k in OK, etc. You want to "put away" $80k/year.

Haha.

As someone who works in the planning and urban design field the real issues are private property and heritage. China doesnt care about either. The UK cares too much. The answer is of course somewhere in the middle. Lets not forget most of the UKs existing infrastructure (including railways, roads, canals) was built on private property and through heritage items too, just in a different environment where this was easier to do.

Where there is clear wider community benefit, IMO consultation should be relatively narrow ('we will build this but if small changes can provide major benefit please make sure we know about them and we should be held to account in planning for them') however compensation should be generous. Few heritage items should be sacrosanct however not many will be affected and losses in heritage should be compensated by greater heritage contributions elsewhere (eg money for conserving heritage items on the at risk register). It really shouldnt have to be so controversial if the right systems are in place. We have to plan for the future and this should not be questionable...

Rule of law, labour practices and corruption-free practices arent incompatible with these projects.

"Not a small startup with 6 people who all know what they are doing."

Another scenario is a small startup with 6 people who _don't_ know what they are doing, but the auth code has got to get written somehow. By the time the company gets big enough to have major high profile customers the person that wrote the auth code is now in a senior management position, the senior devs don't want to touch the auth code because it "works" and they know better than to break something just because a junior programmer has raised a theoretical issue they only just understand and they've never seen in the real world.

(I may have been that junior programmer. I'm sure there have been more since then.)
Indeed DTLS is a "pipe", whereas pure Noise isn't, and pure Noise doesn't have any DoS protection, which DTLS does.

But indeed DTLS is a mess for other reasons.

For WireGuard I use Noise with stronger DoS resistance and anti replay measures than DTLS, custom tailored for being a layer 3 tunnel. Details here: https://www.wireguard.io/papers/wireguard.pdf
I'm not so pessimistic. For example, over here in Holland we have De Correspondent, which does an admirable job at depth over 'breaking first' (it's even their mission statement: beyond the whims of the day, loosely translated). They're very loosely paywalled and get by on paying subscribers like myself.

From what i gather so far, they're doing a wonderful job and expanding rapidly without losing money. I think there's plenty room for initiatives like that in specific niches as well.

My impression of NYT and The Economist and such is that while they're trying, they're still way too tethered to an older model which, among other things, requires more money for (relatively) more crap. And while on behalf of good journalism I lament the period of turmoil as they fight their fight but eventually disappear, I think it's necessary for more targeted, leaner journalism to take over.

You hit the nail on the head.

I don't care how rich the rich are as long as our systems are set up to guarantee a minimum level of access to basic resources including housing, drinkable water, food, internet access, safety, healthcare and education.

As long as these minimums are guaranteed with a large buffer (and every century the minimums go up) I am fine with the wealthy having a lot of money. In our system, the banks invest that money anyway, when the rich aren't using it. These investments represent belief about future demand -- which may result more and more in a plutocracy. But as long as the rest of humanity lives comfortably, I don't care.

Safety nets produce real choice. They allow you to spend time raising your kids and educating them. The kids can join the new knowledge-based workforce. You can as well, since you can take time off to learn. We can maybe travel to the stars.

But without the basic guarantees (vouchers, single payer based) many people are stuck in dead end jobs or worse, grinding poverty. It's like a poker tournament where most people have a really small stack AND can't afford to fly out of the tournament. So much wasted opportunity for human knowledge.

The other thing is smashing the knowledge silos - patents on drugs etc. The way science and open source grew is that anyone could stand on the shoulders of giants and their contributons added to the growing body of knowledge. That's how you serve the long tail eg cure malaria the same way wikipedia has articles on obscure topics and linux runs on toasters. Public platforms outperform private ones.

To sum up: tax the robots, guarantee the basic safety net, put education online and use colleges for tutoring and certification only, promote patentleft for drugs and open source for software.

You're looking for purpose, but as the article states at the outset, don't ask 'what is this for'; ask 'how has this sequence evolved?'.

90% of our genome is unconserved, meaning that it is not under selection. Most of this consists of dead viruses and mobile elements. Such DNA was present for its own purposes while it was active but is long since dead. A tiny proportion of this junk is later co-opted by the host organism.

The null hypothesis is that junk DNA is junk. It survives in the genomes of species with small effective population size because its selection coefficient is too small for it to be purged.

The alternative hypothesis you gave would need evidence to support it, otherwise it's another 'just so' story. Ask yourself, if this junk is beneficial for adaptation as you hypothesize, why don't bacteria have any? More broadly, why is the amount of junk DNA indirectly proportional to the effective population size (as the null hypothesis predicts)?

I've had a two year period where my feelings were dominated by apathy and depression. Nothing appealed to me anymore, friends, going out, video games, programming, school, work. Literally nothing. My parents, gf told me they loved me and while I said something back, I did not really feel it or mean it.

Best advice I received was from my dad - in life you have three different types of inner motivation:

* fire and anger are the initial drive - they help you start something

* professionalism and existentialism - they help keep you going

* self-fulfillment - they help you finish

One motive that is inwrought through all these motivators is "sometimes you have to be your own hero". You have to have the fire, you have to have the professionalism, you have to fulfilled. Not others. Step it up, I'm sure you have it in you!

Don't give up, your life has purpose and you are valuable :)

How about, in the same way that some banks allow you to upload an image that they can then show you to prove you're talking to the same party that you've talked to previously, a chromeless browser could ask you to "draw" or supply an image for trusted actions. This "badge of trust" could then be show inside any dialog that asks the user to perform any action that you would not want a website to fake. It would of course be important that untrusted website content is never able to read these pixels.

This is essentially inverting the relationship, by inserting a "zone of life" inside the "zone of death".

I saw a few articles last year that said something about new meds that can replace antibiotics (or are even better antibiotics, I don't know), but they aren't approved yet.

As far as I understand it, the problem here isn't that we lose an arms race because we don't have alternatives, but because of our approval systems.

When enough antibiotics lost their effects, laws will probably be changed OR it will take long enough till we got the alternatives in the marked.

The satellites need to end up in a polar orbit (i.e. they need to be moving directly north or south). So they launched south and slightly west - just enough that the westward thrust would cancel out that "free energy" from the rotation of the earth.
It's a sign of changing times indeed, but for the consumer's benefit.

It is absolutely in Google's best interests to externalize security for its customers as a differentiator of Google Cloud. The parent article itself links to the white paper that outlines how this is done for Google Cloud.

I understand how one may consider this a "closed ecosystem" from one perspective. However, from a customer point of view any startup or mom-and-pop can leverage these very complex and expensive world-class security developments, whereas in the past this access has been reserved to the very select few that could afford it. When the barrier to entry is lowered and access is commoditized, customer wins.

"Leaves MacBook in the dust", yet the article mentions 0 evidence of it doing so. Man I hate click-bait articles
This is crazy. It's 2017. Why are people STILL clicking links in their E-mail? Have people learned nothing? You don't have to be a "technical user" anymore know know that's a bad idea.

Hell, why do major E-mail clients even allow functional hyperlinks in E-mail? The major E-mail clients could 80% solve phishing overnight by just disabling links. They could probably solve a further 10% by disallowing copying things that look like URLs.

Sorry if this sounds like victim blaming, but at some point, after enough time, you have to eventually go from "victim" to "culpable".

Something is definitely missing in your setup, either entirely or just incorrectly setup.

I've been hosting my own email for about 3 years now, in an even worse-for-my-domain-reputation way: by using SRS.

Basically any email that arrives at my domain gets forwarded to my Gmail account.

And because I use SRS, it will re-write the envelope so it's something like hash-original_domain=user@mydomain.

Yet I've never had a problem with my emails getting marked as spam.

Actionable advice:

- setup DMARC and use something like dmarcian[1] so you have a pretty dashboard of your DMARC reports (otherwise you have to find some tool that will read the XML and aggregate the reports).

- use mxtoolbox to verify your IPs aren't blacklisted, you aren't an open relay, etc.

- if you have enough email traffic (not likely if you're using it for personal email only), signup for Google's Postmaster[3]

Ask if you need any help.
