I don't manage to write a response to you without making it sound impolite, which is not my intention. I scrubbed it, please read the following short-form with the most positive interpretation you can muster: I don't think you understood his comment. If one links "There are boars" with "humans have higher fear of radiation than there is actual danger", there are only so many messages such a comment can transport. If one later goes on to talk about "we don't know how low levels of radiations interact with the human body', while in Fukushima there are high levels of radiation, then the intention of mpweiher's comments become pretty clear.
I would say you need to incorporate a mix of honesty and ingenuity into your response to these situations.

If you're asked to 'code a solution to this problem on the whiteboard', the honest answer would probably be that you normally use google for reference, old code etc. and the ingenuity would be for you to write some psuedo-code on the board, anyway.

I think this applies to lots of questions.. "Can you tell me how you would sort this data set?". "(honesty) I don't know how, off the top of my head but (ingenuity) I know I could utilise an algorithm and I would probably google/research which would be most appropriate".

I'll finish with an anecdote.. in my first IT interview (server builder) I was asked to tell the interviewer what RAID stood for, and which type I would use to ensure my data was safe if one drive blew up. In my inexperienced state of mind, I murmured and was clearly distressed. The interview interrupted and said "If you don't know the answer.. just tell me you don't know, and that you'll find out and tell me later".

The lesson there is, sometimes there isn't one clear answer to an interviewers question.

Good luck :)
Good sn.
Most interesting question about boars is that they are big animals that dig deep in the soil searching for roots, rodents and tubercles. They are basically working hard to return the buried radioactive isotopes to the surface again when they are more dangerous. We should think on it and adjust our models to predict and understand the problem.

And Boars will travel in and out of Fukushima of course.

> that occasionally nuclear power causes terrible catastrophes.

To play devil's advocate...so do cars. Tens of thousands of people die every year in the USA from car crashes, and millions more are injured. These numbers are greater than similar numbers from nuclear power.

The nuclear catastrophes which have occurred have largely been predicted. And were preventable. Both for Chernobyl and for Fukushima. Just like most car deaths and injuries in the 1950s were preventable.

And... coal plants put out more radiation and pollution than do nuclear plants. And the pollution from coal plants kills or injures more people.

No one is saying nuclear power is safe. But if you're going to claim it's terrible, you have to admit that there are many things we live with every day which are much more terrible than nuclear power.
One of my first jobs in my early 20s was working on a software 3d rendering pipeline for a racing game. One of my coworkers was a Russian woman who knew all about rendering and transformation pipelines. Learning from her pretty much helped kickstart my career, and kept me fed for the last 25 years.

Every system has a maximum capacity, and after that is reached, the requests just see increased latency without increased throughput. At this point you scale up (by replacing it with better hardware) or out (by adding more nodes).
That energy accident table could really use a row for utility solar.

edit: No, it's not out of wack, it's just that one uses trillion kilowatt hours and one uses terawatt hours. Oops.

It's also hugely out of wack with this article:

http://www.nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/deaths-per-twh-by-energ...

Do we trust that article and it's many sources or the basically unsourced Forbes article Wikipedia relies on (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2012/06/10/energys-d... )

It doesn't matter a great deal for the comparison, both articles point to many less deaths from nuclear.
That's not even internally consistent. We have no terrible catastrophes because the others have terrible catastrophes?

No, because I don't subscribe to fallacious false binaries about fossil fuels vs nuclear energy.

Japan should invest heavily in renewable energy. Despite it's many shortcomings, the Japanese government is quite good at building out and maintaining modern infrastructure. If they developed expertise in this domain, it could also serve as a great export to other markets.

One of the more Orwellian moments I've experienced on Facebook happened when it didn't allow me to send an image link to my sister in a private chat because the string had sex written in it.

We're both adults and have been using Messenger to talk to each other every day for a few years now, but nope Facebook wouldn't relent. It even froze my ability to message her from my smartphone app for a short amount of time.

This amuses me more than it annoys me, because someone at Facebook decided that it's a good idea for a messaging product to censor private conversations between adults. What on Earth led them to believe that my messaging app should be my nanny?

> Different countries have different freedoms.

I'm not sure what you are trying to argue. In parts of Africa you are "free" to loot villages and rape women. Convincing me that America is just as free as China or Iran (just in different ways) is a hard sell because I value different freedoms with different weights. The freedom to steal people's IP and profit from it is not a freedom that is very beneficial for humanity.

> Today, there's a huge amount of unjustified imprisonment of innocent people

Do you have any evidence that the imprisoned people are innocent? Or are you referring to drug arrests? In those cases the people are definitely guilty of the crime (possession, using drugs). Sure, you may disagree with current drug laws/punishment, but law enforcement doesn't arrest literally innocent people and throw them in jail except on extremely rare and unusual occasions.

Except the article says nothing of the sort. In fact, it explicitly states in the first paragraph that we don't know what the cause of those birth defects is.

> eye-witness account of the suffering that Chernobyl brought

Once again, you seem to miss the point: the point is not whether or not there was suffering, but what the biggest causes of the suffering was. And once again, the WHO concludes that the biggest cause of suffering were (sometimes severe) mental health effects (which can cause physical suffering).

Also there were external effects such as the fall of the Soviet Union and the consequences of that. For example, life expectancy of Russian men dropped by ~10 years in the late 1980s and 1990s. Not due to radiation, but mostly due to alcohol (due to psycho-social/mental health effects).

Knowing Your Type: Why the typography matters in your emails
I feel the same, yet I'm starting to realize that maybe I'm overestimating the importance of always being able to catch the first available bus, have a perfect connection at the train station, or not having to ask around for directions.

For example when taking the train, I got used to obsessively checking transit apps to see exactly how late I would be at the next stop, how much time I would have to transfer, what time I would be home, etc. If you think about it, this introduces stress (train is delayed, will I catch my bus?) that is almost never worth it. 9 out of 10 times half an hour delay is perfectly fine, and in the transfer time you can simply walk around a bit, contemplate, get a snack, etc.

With maps I have the same thing, sure it's nice to never take a wrong turn, but on the other hand it's usually not so bad and it can even bring you to interesting places. Asking instructions is usually not much of a problem either, and neither is reading a paper map, or simply jotting down some reference points for yourself before you leave. I used to do this all the time when taking the car back when Google Maps didn't even exist, and I usually managed just fine.

There's one exception though, which is driving in an unknown city. I absolutely hate that, and I would not want to miss GPS for that, the opportunities of getting lost are simply too high, and the stress of navigating a city by car having no idea where to go is just too much for me. That said, cars and big cities don't go together well anyway...

"Corporate culture" is weird.

In my experience it's useful for teams to share some "culture" -- some shared expectations so not everything has to be communicated explicitly.

On the other hand, it's kind of useful that different teams have different cultures and some between-teams attrition goes on in meetings related to larger projects. Think "marketers versus engineers". It's important that these mutually contradicting views clash!

Also: I've had the bad experience of the buddy-chuminess of team culture gradually drift into flirting and then into unsustainable sexual tension, complete with big fight and months of really bad communication. But note this: we've been able to work through all that storm, and now we're on pretty good speaking and collaboration terms. This only worked because we were cogs in a seven-ish-cog-machine and the machine could grind on with insufficient lubrication between two cogs. (This is a bad analogy because it seems that the more cogs the better, but there's a sweet spot...)
Seems you are not much aware of outside the relatively well off friends' circle. Here is how precarious financial conditions for lot of americans is [1].

Key Quote: "47 percent of respondents said that either they would cover the expense by borrowing or selling something, or they would not be able to come up with the $400 at all."

On the other hand in India it would be very obvious to borrow money considering around 80% of population live on couple of dollars a day.

“Peak Framework” and the runtime barrier: why libraries are exhausted
Your numbers are absurdly optimistic. For starters, analog signals are a lot harder to simulate than digital circuits in silicon. The simplest fourth order Runge-Kutta needs 4 evaluations of the gradient plus 8 floating point operation per timestep per dimension and probably you can get away with something like an order of magnitude smaller timestep than the dynamics you want to simulate. That is a penalty of something like two order of magnitude plus the evaluation of the gradient.

Second, the complexity does not lie in the neurons, there one gets away with something like 100 billion neurons * 100 Flops/ GHz (Prozessor) ~ 100 Prozessors per dimension if we completely neglect the gradient.

But what we need is the dynamics of the connections. And based on that, the estimate of 100 PFlops simulation gives roughly 10^5 clock cycles per connection, which is not very much if you compare it to the latency of a standard database in the microsecond range. (Network latencies are in a similar order of magnitude.)

About your argument, that it would be enough to only simulate firing neurons, well we have to simulate a neuron to detect if it is firing.

For completeness, Kurzweil mentions in The Singularity is near much lower estimates for functional simulation of a brain in the TFLOPS range, however that is with optimized algorithms and we probably need a singularity first to get these optimized algorithms.

A lot of air travel was for work because it was so expensive, thus the suit wearing. You can hunt around for some pictures of flying in the 60s and 70s and fine no shortage of people in vacation gear or 'street' clothes but back then even street clothes were more formal (you'd toss on a sports jacket or fedora without thinking twice about it for even yardwork). A lot of what we see today in photos are carefully crafted PR and marketing pieces. People back then didn't have smartphones to photograph an average cabin, so we see these wonderfully staged photos of a gorgeous stewardess carving up a turkey for a well-dressed and posed family, which isn't exactly something common in flight. Do you really want someone on an aircraft that can jostle at any time holding a carving knife at your neck's height?

Also, that's not a plane, its a Hollywood set. You can't open the door mid-flight as the pressurized cabin won't allow you, at least past a certain year when all airplanes standardized on the inward opening door. Everyone is thin and glamorous looking because they're actors. Everyone is well dressed because the costume department made it so (no ill fitting suits or out of fashion dresses and skirts). No crying babies because it would ruin the drama. No elderly people having a coughing fit. No dirty looks if you happen to have the wrong skin color.

I also don't see how people smoking is supposed to be this wonderful freedom loving thing. As someone old enough to have been around where people smoked next to you all the time in just about any social setting, it was disgusting and unbelievably rude and entitled, on top of being a major health issue for those exposed to second-hand smoke, especially children. I'm not sure what the GP was implying but you don't want to go back to those days. A recent week in Japan reminded me of my childhood and that aspect of my trip was fairly unpleasant.

Another pro-corporate article from a "business" magazine. Great, let's take consumer protections away, and let famously dickish companies like Verizon and Comcast be even less responsible, and bigger dicks.

This article does not mention any downsides, like super-intrusive advertising from companies that have already done things like inject extra HTTP headers to track people (Verizon!), or less responsibility for the company with the worst customer service (Comcast). Consumers are just sheep to be fleeced in whatever way makes the most money this quarter for Comcast and Verizon. Penny wise and pound foolish as my mother used to say. Consumers will wise up and there will be an "arms race" between ISPs and their customers. We'll all lose.
I can see why you intuitively think that's the case, but is it really?

I don't understand how you imagine you can "isolate code" while making it less DRY. If I need to do certain functionality from some function, I need either to call other function to do it (if you already have a function that can do it) or copy that functionality into the function itself. The first approach is DRY, the second isn't. But I don't think second approach is a good idea, like, at all. So if I assume you don't mean that, what do you mean?

I can understand you can make code easier to test if you make it less DRY. Let's put that aside, because it's not really a big deal in this discussion. But the other three - I would love to see some specific example where making code less DRY will increase ease to understand it, and also possibly replace it and re-use it (provided we don't care about elegance of the result, since it would be taken care of by subsequent refactoring, as I already explained, so we can for instance copy-paste the existing code for the purpose of change).
Not sure if it is the same thing, but I find myself sometimes procrastinating by noodling with software features. It isn't the fault of org-mode (or any other software), it is mine, for not being disciplined enough.

"Distraction free" apps don't work, because I frequently need to switch windows a lot and need some fancy features.

Really, the answer for me is to work on staying focused. (Perhaps a lobotomy would help.) But it isn't a problem with my tools.
Every time I see something about org-mode posted, I get mad FOMO and decide to re-dedicate my life to learning emacs and everything it has to offer. Then a little while later I inevitably drift back to vim.
