To properly rule out a heart attack you would need

a) A twelve-lead EKG - which requires twelve wires to be connected to specific locations on your body

and

b) Blood tests

Therefore for a consumer-grade device to properly rule out a heart attack it would need to be a large EKG machine with multiple connectors as well as a blood test analysis machine. And that's not even considering that proper analysis of an EKG trace requires a trained medical professional, as the automated traces are notoriously unreliable
Consider asking your doctor for a coronary artery calcification (CAC) scan. It only takes a few minutes and in the US typically costs only $100. For some reason it doesn't seem to be very well known, but high scores seem to be a reliable indication of heart disease.

Feynman really liked continuous solutions. It's too bad he wasn't around for the deep learning era. Or for bufferbloat.

The "average number of 1 bits in a message address" makes me think of routing in the NCube. Like the Connection Machine, the NCube was a big array of small CPUs. Bigger CPUs than the CM, though, and running independent programs. The NCube had 2^N CPUs, up to 1024, and each was connected to N neighboring CPUs in N dimensions. Each CPU had an N-bit ID, representing its position in the binary N-dimensional array. The connections between CPUs were thus between ones that differed in address by exactly 1 bit.

So routing worked by taking the current CPU ID and XORing it with the destination ID, then inverting. The 1 bits then represented possible paths to neighbor nodes on which the packet could be sent. Any path would work, and all possible paths are the same length. At the next node, there would be 1 fewer 1 bits in the difference. When there were no 1 bits, the packet had arrived.

Nodes need packet buffers. How much buffering is required? That's probably what Feynman was working on.

The number of 1 bits is a measure of distance to destination. The average number of 1 bits is a measure of network traffic. As a discrete problem, this is a mess. Feynman converted it to a continuous flow problem, for which there's known theory, some of which Feynman had developed. He'd done a lot of hydrodynamics work at Los Alamos.

Van Jacobson, who started as a physicist, also saw network congestion that way.
Antitrust laws were remarkably different in the recent past. Here is an excerpt from http://washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/novdec-2015/bloom-and-....

"To get a flavor of how thoroughly the federal government managed competition throughout the economy in the 1960s, consider the case of Brown Shoe Co., Inc. v. United States, in which the Supreme Court blocked a merger that would have given a single distributor a mere 2 percent share of the national shoe market."

I wish there was an easier replacement for Google Apps. A company like protonmail that lets have have DNS for your domain, email, and some replacements for the other apps. Having this all in one place in the cloud is very convenient - and when it comes with browser syncing, apps like Google Keep, and all the extras, then it's very easy to buy into.

Why? If that worked out, there would be nobody left doing low-skilled work or those workers would at least be totally overqualified. There need to be incentives to fill jobs with a deficit in the available workforce, not incentives to obtain better qualifications for the sake of it. And even then, do these incentives have to be 1000% more instead of 50% or so?

This is also very unfair against people that are unable to obtain higher qualifications, they are punished for being what they are even if they are doing great work in a low-skilled job and work as hard as someone bringing home six-figure salary from a high-skilled job.

The way I understood it: While you may licence your work to Github according to their terms, you can't licence other people's work to Github under a different licence than how it was licenced to you. The language of copyleft licences is very strict in this regard.

Github certainly didn't mean their terms to be read this way. They included "as required for the service" in all relevant places. What I don't understand is why they want the uploader to grant them a specific licence, instead of a more lenient "the content you upload must be licenced in a way that allows us to ..."

Edit: I think that nobody except possibly Github the company could take advantage of this "additional" licences. The biggest risk I see is that an AGPL contributor sees their licence violated when you upload their contribution to Github. So you're in a legal gray area if you still do it. Not something you want to be in but not going to be a problem in most cases.

It looks like Github tried to protect themselves from some pathologic cases and have created headaches for everybody else. The way I see it they're trying to push some risks on their users.

> paying low-skilled workers small money just because they are easily replaceable is unethical.

Sounds like you would feel right at home in socialist Scandinavia. Here the salary of a dishwasher is roughly equal to that of a RN, but the RN has student debts to pay off. And the unemployeed refugee makes almost as much on the dole. All this good for a mere 25%VAT and 35-65% income tax.
Welcome.
> This would seem to require the identifiers to be attached to records in perpetuity (i.e. it would basically require client-generated IDs everywhere)

Not sure what you mean by client-generated. The server-side app generates the id because it has to store and interpret it. This can be as simple as a sequence number, similar to how TCP guarantees delivery. It depends on the schema really.

This is the simplest way to ensure you can perform arbitrary retries of POST in case of a network partition.

This data doesn't even need to be integrated with your app's schema, although that's ideal so you can manage the storage lifetime. But you could use an entirely separate store for GUIDs and cached replies, and so it becomes transparent to your app and just becomes another layer.

> And the unemployeed refugee makes almost as much on the dole.

For how long are they eligible to stay on the dole? Exactly how much are they receiving?

Oh, right, they are getting ~$250/month. [1] They are living like kings at your expense! Curse the 65% income tax. [2]

Except that it's an, uh, 56% income tax. But what's another 9% when it comes to complaining about taxes...

> Given that you have untested code, you have a higher likelihood of bugs. Period. In statically typed languages too. In dynamic languages those bugs are likely to manifest a bit differently. Yay?

Yes, test proponents love to say "you are not testing well enough!" Its dishonest, because in practice no system can achieve 100% integration test coverage, so no system is testing well enough :)

> You were arguing above that static typing was great because it caught bugs in untested code. That certainly sounds like you think it is replacing tests.

I never argued that. In fact, I started by saying that what types provide can also be provided by integration tests with that have 100% coverage, but that the second one is a lot more difficult to achieve AND doesn't give the nice extra tooling support (automatic refactoring, extra documentation, instant type incompatibility feedback in IDEs).

Indeed, if you can keep your integration test coverage at 100% in your project, you don't need types. Curious though; are you familiar with an open source project that has that?

There's a curious parallel with a certain class of business managers who "extract brand value" by slowly debasing quality, then folding up shop. For example, Hollywood movie sequels, or for-profit colleges.

For a big name like Holder, "folding up shop" would mean something like a beachfront retirement, in Malibu.

Yes. In my opinion, entirely. I'm also a believer that how one chooses to speak impacts their behavior and ultimately how they think (of themselves and others).

People who speak negatively tend to be negative people. I find the opposite to be true as well, as long as the speech is genuine. Someone "faking" their optimism could of course be a really negative person, regardless of how they speak. I think believing what you say plays a big role.

I find myself complimenting others and thanking people for things more frequently in Japanese. Not just as a formality - but because it seems so much more natural than in English.

And I think it is very important that any person who speaks only one language does their best to embrace another culture and learn a second. It will change how you think about many things.

Hmm, yes, this is clearly a better approach, architecturally. However, I don't know whether it's worth the tradeoffs, given that it will make the file harder to parse, and playlists tend to have each song only once, so the added complexity seems to come at no benefit...

It's definitely a better approach for a library, though, and it's how one would model the data in a database as well.

Right...

Anyway, this is a welcome change. I've bumped into the 20 MB limit a bunch of times...
Internet access is now a basic human right (2016)
I think you're right, but even if they were effectively doing these things already, it does seem likely that individual users don't actually have the ability to give permission for them (on behalf of other contributors to their repos). I guess previously we just had a potential legal quagmire that most people were happy to edge around, blithely whistling.
What do you mean keep? Once they release this 50mb limit it's pretty much set in stone forever as other email providers will assume gmail users can accept it. If they removed/lowered it then emails would break.
