> there is a growing body of evidence that they were far more advanced than modern humans give them credit for. Recent studies revealed that they wore jewelry, created art and architecture, made complex tools and developed sophisticated big-game hunting strategies. All this suggests that they were capable of symbolic thought and social coordination, intellectual abilities that were once considered exclusively human

Any chance of recreating Neanderthals from DNA a la Jurassic Park? We could find out how advanced they were - the only species comparable to humans as of yet.
It's pretty rare that a popular subway station would not have a convenient grocery store nearby. Major chains don't want to lose out on all that foot traffic. Seems like Instacart would be used as a temporary band-aid, until Ralph's, or Whole Foods, or Target Supercenter, or Trader Joe's arrive on the scene.
The article mentions electron microscopy for connectomics. Do you think electron microscopy or expansion microscopy is more likely to succeed at reconstructing the wiring diagram of real brains?

Jeez, its not like they have to live with it from now on. The treatment facility made a mistake, one as harmless as putting food coloring in the water. As soon as there's new water in the system it'll run clear again. It's a fuckup, its inconvenient, and people may choose to use bottled water for a few days, but it doesn't mean that the government is made of tyrannical despots.
Many users don't want "clever" optimizations and compiler authors often implement things that nobody would ever ask for, because it has no real-world benefit. See:

If we had an hour to discuss which optimizations are or are not "clever" in the derogatory sense, maybe we would agree on almost everything. Alas, I've spent enough time on this thread. Good day!

When you are selling a support contract, GPL is no problem. But this does not cover the sale of a software which costs many thousands per seat, you cannot make up lost sales revenue with support contracts. The cost pressure would drive customers to use the software with way more seats than they have support contracts for. And the GPL would prevent any legal licensing scheme which would try to enforce a support contract per user of the software. There are exceptions to this - a hosted platform like github can of course count the number of accounts created for invoicing.
It feels like joke-explaining because it is but "I can implement this in a weekend" is one of the central self-unaware brogrammer cliches. You asked.
I object to the contention that there arent biology correlated preferences and differences (such as attribute variance) which will cause biases in the distribution of labor and aptitude, which likely will always cause some form of imbalance in statistics. I also object to the notiom that we want equal outcomes rather than equal opportunity (even though that is harder to measure).

That being said, I think we should generally imrpove sexist behavior and systems, which hurt both sexes (albeit, in different ways).

I just think the "wage gap" is one of the least sexist fascets of modern society (if at 3-6%), and mostly represents people perpetuating a misunderstanding of statistics. So in that way, I feel like people are over-solving a mostly solved problem, which seems likely to lead to more sexism, not less.

I think that effort spent on fixing the larger issues are also likely to stabilize remaining issues with wages, and we would all be better served focusing on the large gaps in other statistics instead of the small one here.

That said, Im always happy to see new statistics that tell me Im full of shit, so if you find what you're looking for, please post it.

Otherwise, have a good night! :)

Well, that's delayed me by 20 minutes! I'm not sure whether it's the content (I knew some but not all of that), the presentation style (I've always liked the use of analogy in teaching), or mere nostalgia that made it so engaging, but I found it impossible to stop watching that, and now I want to know more - particularly to see if those developments were applied to the passenger carrying vehicles of today.

I wonder if a video made today would be as straightforward in presentation, and also how it would look to a 45 year old in 2062? (coincidentally this was made in the year of my birth)

As mentioned by the author elsewhere in this thread, the connectome (map of connections) was so good that they managed to build a perfect simulation. The point of the article seems to be that in this simulation, typical non-connectomics techniques used today in Neuroscience (highly specific lesions which in the real brain are created by things such optogenetics) were not able to elucidate how this simulation worked.
You'll never know.
The "pink" amount appears to be in the range of 1-3mg/L. So the LD50 for an 80kg man would be ~30,000 liters orally. That would certainly be lethal. The rule of thumb for this stuff is also "If it's pink, it's safe to drink"[1], as in pink is the minimum concentration to ensure safety. The only reason to avoid higher concentrations is that it will stain heavily.

If we're nitpicking, you can use a spring backwards too (but don't expand it too much, or it won't return)
And the success of Red Hat comes to no small amount from other software companies, which certify their software products often on Red Hat only. That means, if you are trying to get technical support for that software, it might depend on running on red hat. Of course, the software would in principle run on most other Linux distributions, especially Fedora, but I have seen smaller incompatibilities when running not on Red Hat. So this creates a certain market pressure to use Red Hat.
"The History of the World in Six Glasses" by Tom Standage lays out a similar time line. He breaks the world into two sections - alcohol and caffeine - and each of those into three periods: beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and soda.

Each period be described how the drink became so important. It's a very interesting and quick read.

A little clarification, after world war I Bernays wanted to use war propaganda during peacetime to manipulate people and opinions which he thought were irrational and dangerous, and coined the name public relations to avoid the stigma propaganda had due its use by Germans during the war.

The paper is quite important - it's the first paper about the production usage of an algorithm similar to Single-Decree Paxos.

1) The atomicity usually isn't a problem, it can be added on top of the sharded storage with 2PC, RAMP or Percolator transactions, or with Sagas.

2) With Raft you have to implement log compaction and snapshotting, with Bizur and Single-Decree Paxos it isn't the case

Prisons for one.

You seem to misunderstand the role of governments though. Citizens and taxpayers are not shareholders seeking to maximize return on investment. The government exists to provide for national defense, rule of law, postal service, and domestic security. Private industry would have an incentive to not provide these services for free riders (the poor, those who dodge payment, etc.)

Private industry also ignores externalities in their pricing, which is why we have regulation. I quite like not having to pay for relatively clean air.
Under sink RO is not a big deal, you can buy a system for relatively cheap at Sams or probably Costco, and there's not much that you have to know, just change the prefilters when you are supposed to. Depending on the bladder and how much usage the RO system gets, it can take a while to fill a glass, 15-20s maybe? Filling a pot of water is infuriatingly slow.

RO systems waste water as that is how they work, expect your water usage to go up (how much depends on a lot of factors, for us it did not impact our water bill).

Whole house RO systems are probably a non-starter, keeping the water pressure up high enough seems like it would be very expensive.
Couple of things that are not correct in the article:

(1) a $50,000 fee for a valuation is crazy- early stage companies pay less than 1/10th that.

(2) companies typically do not get a valuation done more than once per year. the article makes it sound like you get a new one every time you issue options, they actually have a shelf life of one-year, unless there is a new financing or other event that requires a new report to be obtained.

Not saying its a good system (it's not), just odd that the NYT would get some basic facts wrong.

I reckon there is value in only partially simulating the environment and grow lots of potatoes at scale. Take those potatoes that succeed and breed them and repeat. With every iteration, change the environmental conditions to better simulate Mars. Over successive generations, I reckon we can get to potatoes (and other plants) that fair well.

The big question is how you optimize this process to assist evolution in moving faster.

No you are right. But again coffee wasn't discovered by Europeans until around that same time mid to late 1500s. Civilization is much older than that.
Exactly. They could replace notepad++.exe or install a rootkit or do it in a zillion other ways. I think this change was made so that already wiretapped people could detect this and to "calm" the public since the CIA is `OMG hacking into everybody's notepad, nobody is safe'.
This is... Actually beautifully succinct.

This seems an inane and oversimplified view. Sure, coffee would have helped. But ignoring colonization, and its huge positive impact on Western Europe and negative impact elsewhere, and concluding that industrialization is a corollary of a stimulant is strange.

I think these kind of "historians" rarely bother to place themselves in historical context. This article seems right in the much derided class of insight porn articles. I believe history is not the result of "one minor cause" - you could write articles equally myopic that the Chinese invention of sailing against the wind created civilization, gunpowder created civilization, double-entry bookkeeping created civilization, steam power created civilization, better glasswork and telescopes created civilization, etc. It was not one thing by itself, but probably everything together.
I also find it confusing. No need to be rude.

If one doesn't exist, I wouldn't like our system to move into that direction based upon wild speculation and pure theory. The implicit assumption in free market models is that people are rational agents, when all research shows that people are highly irrational.

> a Reddit comment, especially one that doesn't cite any sources?

That Reddit comment is literally saying "[the claim that beer was safer than water] cannot be substantiated with primary sources". You're complaining that somebody isn't citing sources when all they are saying is that there is a lack of evidence that the claim is true. You're placing the burden of proof in the wrong place.

> And, when you control for experience, time off for family, etc., pay disparities in most tech fields almost disappear.

Okay, so spoiler alert, I'm grinding an axe right now.

It's completely ridiculous to imply that analysts are not normalizing for hours worked. That's one of the most basic things they do, and you really should provide proof in the form of a study that both published its methodology and has been done in the last 5 years that didn't account for this, setting aside that one clickbait publicity stunt from Glassdoor. People keep citing other studies that "don't do this" and it's not true, or point to the national average and say that extends to knowledge work and that's absurd.

"The pay gap" is not simply lockstep salary progression. It was just the most obviously unfair and lowest-hanging fruit. That's only the start of it. The fact that women are often passed over for promotion because industries frown on maternity leave, the fact that harassment leaves women with fewer mentorship opportunities, the fact that many environments treat interviews like hazing, all these things add up to create aforementioned gap.

Your quote up at the top is the root of the pay gap. It's your belief that someone who works a reasonable sum of hours but then goes to have a child should be paid less. You believe that someone who takes time off for a reasonable work-life balance or a family emergency should be paid less. That attitude is bad for everyone, but it's especially bad for women in much of western society's current form.

And yes, there are still places where women DO get paid less for the same work. That is not done yet. And until it's so rare that it's unheard of, we're going to keep pointing it out.
