I find this to be the best response. I don't miss the "crap" I used to have time for, lack of "freedom" isn't that big of a deal. It's more about putting ambitions and dreams on hold, likely forever, and the recognition that no, I'm not going to be the person who solves quantum gravity because I have to spend most of my time making sure these little things aren't eating worms or tearing library books and whatnot, and I'll be 60 when they're gone. It's easy in those moments to blame them for it, but you have to remember that such things were always pipe dreams anyway. Still, that doesn't make the recognition of that fact any easier.

All that said, due to lack of free time and the newfound need to use it efficiently, I've found that I've probably read more actual physics in the last four years than in the previous many years of dreaming about it. So there's that aspect too. It's not all bad.

On the same note, forcing people to be at the company all day doing stupid shit like playing foosball. Do you really get more time out of someone working 12 hours of which 6 are spent kicking tires vs. establishing normal productive hours?

Any of you saw the movie "Arrival"?
Without spoiling anything, it drops an amazing concept, which is also exploited in the novel in a much subtler way, and it's bugging me ever since.

In the movie, the "alien" are not perceiving time like us, they experience it in a circular way, they also write in a circular way. There is no beginning and no end to what they write, it just happen. The main character, after having studied them for a long time, start to think like them, and she start to experience time like them. So she merely exist in the present, past and future, she just exist.
You can take what you want, but for me it's like we maybe simply exist, at any given time, we can remember or/and live our past but also our future. We just exist, at any given moment of OUR time; You can BE at anytime between your birth and death. We're maybe just stuck in our current concept of time, like we maybe don't perceive other dimensions because they are "hidden" to our way of experiencing our world.

Enough talk anyway.
I realize there are a lot of nuclear apologist around here, but this is getting ridiculous.

That boars are living in the area means nothing. It doesn't mean in the slightest that it is safe for humans. With Chernobyl and Fukushima we are talking about serious levels of radiation, high enough to kill people very fast. See https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/feb/03/fukushim... of how high the radiation in Fukushima still is today.

To act like "Ah, nothing really happened, see the wild pigs flocking around" is not even close to an appropriate judgment of the situation.

We all would like to have safe and cheap energy. We won't reach that goal by trivializing the dangers of nuclear energy, which isn't even cheap to begin with.

> Partly by helping reduce the systemic wealth transfer between property owners and non-property owners that is more colloquially known as "rent".

This works the opposite of the way most people think it does.

Anything that makes property more expensive increases rents, because it discourages the creation of new housing, which keeps housing scarce and rents high, and prices more people out of self-ownership.

The big caveat here being the abominable subsidies for loan interest, because they encourage people to bid up the price of land, which makes buying and creating housing more expensive rather than less, with the balance of the money going to the banks.

Bugs like the ones you describe come down to timing.

But it's not like "the old days" where for a specific target, there was only 1 chip/clockspeed so devs simply relied on it for timing since an RTC was or not available, or too slow to access.

These days, it would be very hard to actually write code that relies on a specific clock-rate and work reliably. It's a lot easier and reliable to use the clock for time-sensitive stuff.
"It took 25 extra minutes to save this 261 bytes. Worth it? You decide."

I think I've decided it's obviously not worth it, even if we built a time machine and sent the css back to 1955 when they'd appreciate 261 bytes difference. (Granted they had no use for CSS in 1955).
You mean it could have been higher quality if not for all the smoking. I remember it being pretty miserable on longer flights.

Miso Robotics
Hi Eric, I haven't read the paper in depth yet, but we've discussed it some as a lab. I love the concept, but I'm a little perplexed by something I hadn't thought of when we first discussed it.

It looks like many analyses were performed by binning transistor switching as you might spikes from neurons, or by linearly combining transistor activity across transistors or time.

This is slightly puzzling to me, because transistors would appear to not work on the basis of average activity at their level of computational composition. I would be surprised if you could really understand circuit activity at a computational level with most of the measurements you describe.

On the other hand, I suspect the methods used work slightly better in a real brain. Of course, the computational purpose of many neurons is difficult to parse or even construct useful hypotheses about. But at the very least, neurons in the outer periphery seem to behave in a way that is at least consistent with firing rate, e.g. impulses at the neuromuscular junction to cause muscle contraction, and retinal ganglion cells to fire at higher rates when the input matches their certain luminance features.

I started with simple outlines. Then started using `TODO` and similar states to track tasks and projects, along with checklists. There's a ton that I never use, I'm honestly only using the following 95% of the time:

* Headline 1 [1/2]
** TODO Headline 2 [2/4] :tag1:tag2:
- [ ] Some incomplete task
- [X] Some other task
- [ ] [[http://example.com][Only this part shows]]
- [X] C-c C-c will toggle the state
** DONE Headline 3
** Some code in this one :code:
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(defun some-function (foo)
...)
#+END_SRC

But when I want more, it's there, and I can extend it. I toyed around with, but didn't complete, having rust code snippets exported to temp files that would be compiled with the output pushed back into the buffer, for example. Just stole the org-babel code for handling C and tweaked it. I made custom states for handling my org file which contains my ledger file (ledger-cli user) so it more clearly matches my workflow. Same with links to JIRA entries at work, and creating a task management workflow that matched the way my work hours get billed and tracked by management.

OTOH, if Sublime and markdown works for you, keep using it. Nothing beats a functioning tool, in the end.

To insinuate that the average user is using uncompressed audio is being obtuse. The social context for the measurement by song came from iPod like devices based on the average 1MB per minute of audio MP3/MP4.

Raw is 10MB
Loseless compressed is 5

Everyone using "songs" as a metric is talking about 1MB per minute MP3.

Running 'serious' GPU experiments on your primary laptop is a pretty miserable experience. If the experiment needs a few hours to compute, you have to prevent your laptop from sleeping. I also doubt the laptop will last long if you regularly max out the GPU for 12 hours at a time.

Still, nothing quite compares to Carnival Cruises thinking it was a great idea to mold a TV ad campaign around the Iggy Pop song "Lust For Life" which, for me, will forever be associated with the film Trainspotting, petty theft, and heroin addiction. I guess those are better than what I normally associate with most large cruise operators though, which is engine failure, diarrhea, and onion sandwiches.
the point of wanting independent studies is that I have no reason to trust whatever this guy writes on his own website. Diets and nutrition are subjects with a huge amount of bullshit and scams, often perpetrated by people claiming phds or claiming on their website that "studies were conducted". Sure, the risk of trying it might be quite low, but it's reasonable to be skeptical of the claim that just eating olive oil between meals magically reduces your body's "set point" of weight. If I try this diet and it turns out that adding 400 calories of extra intake a day increases my weight (in line with the traditional understanding of metabolism) then the diet has proven counter-productive and thus there's a real cost involved, even if it's not one of being poisoned or suffering from malnutrition.

This guide is a very good introduction to get an idea of what running a business involves. Great job patio11.

Since running a business is incredibly complicated and involves so much that founders generally would like to outsource, is there any startup that takes care of all book keeping, taxes, contracts, insurance and filing for IP,trademarks? This will resonate with the early tech startups (among others), who want to spend all their time building a product and talking to users.

Well, technically, it is machine learning. Only that the machine learning was likely part of the usual data mining on google accounts and not much specific to the captcha problem...

(That said, whenever I used that checkbox widget they had before this announcement, there was a noticeable framerate drop in the browser while the thing was doing its magic. So I suspect, they are at least doing some browser fingerprinting/benchmarking to see if the widget runs inside selenium or a stock browser.

I also remember rumors that they analyze keyboard/mouse input on the page and check if it looks "human", but I'm not sure if that's true.)
Granted, yes, it was more like Japan is today in that sense but never the less, I maintain my point that flying wasn't something Joe or Susie did, it was the something jetsetters did --people who could afford the luxury of flying.

"The BBC first asked Facebook for an interview about its moderation system in late-2015, and repeated the request following this follow-up investigation. The social network's director of policy Simon Milner agreed to be interviewed last week, on condition the BBC provided examples of the material that it had reported, but had not been removed by moderators. The BBC did so, but was reported to the UK's National Crime Agency as a consequence."

That's either Kafka-esque levels of bureaucratic crazy, or a very well-concocted trap...

>But I am not sure why you consider high coupling to be a bad thing

Isolation of code enables you to more easily understand it, test it, replace it and re-use it.

Linear increases in coupling leads to a combinatorial explosion in the difficulty in all of the above.

Coupling is actually more important than DRY.

Damn, I was on mobile and didn't see the previous history. It's my understanding that the target is 75% before bitcoin unlimited will try and "take over".

/r/btc is excited about it. Apparently there's a civil war between /r/bitcoin and /r/btc and the broader bitcoin community.

The issue is bitcoin fees have skyrocketed at an almost exponential pace and transaction times are way up.

Right now a "normal" fee from last year results in a ~24hr wait time

The core group has a "solution", and the Unlimited group claims to have a better one (as well as a list of grievances such as the core group being irresponsibly slow to react, also that their solution doesn't scale and is a stopgap etc etc).

I'm no expert though, if anyone could chime in with more info I'm all ears.
It now looks like a smaller evacuation zone would have been beneficial in the case of Chernobyl, and the same probably goes for Fukushima.

We are overcautious as to the effects of the radiation, and undercautious as to the effects of the evacuation etc., as the data gathered over the decades around Chernobyl shows. Look at the WHO reports over the decades, each one downgrades the previous estimate of the radiation effects.

> the accepted safety levels are based on reasonable research.

That's apparently not the case. As others have suggested look up the LNT model and its criticism in light of (a) how it was derived and (b) data that strongly contradicts it.

One of the main points of css optimization is not transfer size, but the time it takes the css engine to parse through a css file, and figure out where to apply those changes to the DOM.

I think that while the described "reminification" method may not make sense in practice (as other's have said running minification process multiple times will amplify minifier bugs), Optimizing CSS, removing unused rules, grouping similar rules, optimizing selectors etc... does make sense, regardless of reduction amount in comparison to compression.

I guess it depends on the definition of death. Obviously, full death doesn't occur the moment heart stops pumping. Brain starts gradually decaying when oxygen supply stops, past the point when it's unrecoverable, and to some more distant point when all the tissue completely decays. But in between there is some unknown area.

Disclosure: I am and have long been very pro nuclear power.

My wife lived near Chojniki, Belarus, for a number of months in 1996.

I skimmed the WHO evaluation you linked, and, unless it has some context I'm not aware of, it just doesn't jive with the actual impact, on the ground, near Chernobyl.

A quick link:
http://www.businessinsider.com/birth-defects-related-to-cher...

From that article: "A study by UNICEF suggested that more than 20% of adolescent children in Belarus suffer from disabilities caused by birth defects."

In her time there, 10 years after the disaster, she witnessed many gross birth defects in children, and very many cancers in children and adults.

I hesitate to bring anecdotes up as anything like a refutation to a formal and proper report from the WHO, but it's clear that something is missing.

I'd like to note that, in terms of acute human exposure, there's no comparison between Fukushima and Chernobyl.

> Also, the health impact of fairly low radiation dosages is effectively unknown to date, but data from the Chernobyl incident keeps correcting the effect downward every 10 years.

Citation needed, though you did mention 'low radiation doses'. That's the thing: a whole lot of people received a pretty stiff dose from Chernobyl. Perhaps the health impact of low doses isn't well understood, but that's not the case with much higher doses.

Wow, this is quite an ugly story for Facebook, especially hot on the heels of Zuckerberg championing the platform as the key to building global community. I'll stand by my assertion that not all communities are good ones worth supporting. Thus, it puts a lot more responsibility on Facebook to arbitrate than I generally feel is logical in a capitalistic system. There are flaws. Like this for instance:

>When provided with examples of the images, Facebook reported the BBC journalists involved to the police and cancelled plans for an interview.

It subsequently issued a statement: "It is against the law for anyone to distribute images of child exploitation."

I much more expected Facebook to blame their AI - which, as Zuckerberg claimed, is going to clean up Facebook just you wait and see - rather than admit outright they should go to jail for hosting the content that the reporters found.

Between this and the terrible use of Facebook to exploit Marine Corps females, it's going to take a lot more gardening in South Dallas before I believe Zuckerberg is actually interested in ethical behavior more than perceived image. YMMV.

It's actually a bit more complicated than that.

Solar irradiance refers to the power per unit area of ground. Which is affected strongly by the angle of incidence of sunlight. You don't typically mount solar panels facing straight upwards, but rather pointing at the sun, so this has little effect. While you'll require more land to gather a given amount of solar power as you go further from the equator, you don't need more solar panels.

There is also some effect due to the length of atmosphere the sunlight needs to shine through though.
