Not claiming to 'know' anything, but I do have a view. I think unfortunately the post-modernist view is ultimately correct. We can have ever more sophisticated debates but the same arguments made by 18 year old philosophy students are ultimately unassailable. Similar to the way a 10 year olds athiest (as great as Richard Dawkings is) holds all the key arguments about the non-existence of god.

Utilitarianism is fundamentally rooted in the human as a platonic ideal and not just some clever animal. Once you invite other animals on to the continuum, what do we do? Bulldoze all the natural habitat to prevent predation and cruelty (whilst softly euthanasing all the animals)? Do we want to live in a (totalitarian) world with zero suffering? Is there a value on genuine diversity of thought? Do we diversity of thought - to have a robust society? i.e. past a point does utilitarianism itself provide disutility?

Utilitarianism like all ethical systems isn't wrong, it is just a limited perspective more a rule of thumb or a model that only works between certain parameters. That is it is a good system for determining train ticket prices or infrastructure planning, but less useful as a complete life philosophy. The same could be said for libertarianism. Great idea ... but you still need property laws ... and police ... and so on.

Philosophy is in many cases just a kind of intellectual accessory. One version may be right in the same sense that a certain pair of jeans look great. I think if you truly care about the truth and not social status ... etc. the valid scope of philosophy is greatly reduced. The further you look at it our true norms come practical realities and from what we grow up believing.

The same lense can be applied to programming philosophies (Waterfall, Agile ... etc.). I think as programmers (at least the experienced ones amongst us) we do eventually learn that things are never as simple as just that and so we instinctively know to moderate our observance of platonic ways of thinking. This extends to ethical systems.
> I guess that's one of the benefits of not living in "processed or manufactured everything" America. We have the benefit of not having to cook as much, you have the benefit of having more control over what you put into your food.

I like to think that I choose to cook my own food because it's healthier than (most) take-away (except if it's incredibly fancy and expensive) and mass-produced food sold in supermarkets, and because I can't afford to go to expensive restaurants for every meal :D
Yeah, it's similar to Google Nearline or TarSnap in that unlike Glacier, the data can be read out instantly instead of waiting for Amazon to restore it off of a tape or whatever they do. The "penalty for access" is the download cost.

However, my understanding is that B2 was intended for long-term storage and not everyday cloud storage. Is this understanding incorrect? Backblaze does take the position that B2 should be considered as a competitor for S3?

Up to this point, my experience with B2 has been that they don't want to be the authoritative storage source for the data. I seem to recall reading that B2 should not be used as primary storage (though that was in beta days). In support discussions, a representative expressed surprise when it was implied that I may not have local copies of files that already exist on B2 (I do indeed have local copies, but it was beside the point) before confirming that yes, I would need to redownload and reupload to complete a rename.
what about power consumption and noise?
I disagree about the implication. Even when raising cattle you wouldn't slaughter one unless you had to, either to avoid waste or starvation. Few would deny that humans have eaten meat but it was definitely much less common than it is in the US today. For instance, much of America's fascination with beef traces back to the loss of the bison in the mid to late 1800s. Entrepreneurs found great opportunity in the open plains once bison were gone and made subsequent use of it, heavily imprinting beef into our culture... So yes, we've eaten meat for a long time but not to the extent we do now. Now is an abberation, and one that comes at great cost.
Congrats! That's a big war chest to go to market.
It's actually Mexico. I've been vegetarian for 16 years and have been all over the place and it's really been the hardest in Mexico.
In the Boston marathon, only the elite runners (a few dozen) are segmented by gender/sex, and elite women are the first to leave, followed by the elite men, followed by the top qualifying times of either gender.

From watching the race along the road yesterday, there were no elite men who caught the main pack of women (though a few straggling women did fall back into the elite male pack). Following that, while it was mostly a male non-elite pack at the beginning, there were a few women scattered throughout, and then it was fairly blended about 15 minutes later.

So while they stagger men and women to prevent interference in the race at the very highest levels (and a woman crosses the finish line first), women below that tier have a ton of opportunity to push themselves against men.

Edit: Also, they do track overall finishers, time-wise, regardless of gender. So a woman might see that she was the 4th finisher in her division (young women), and 16th overall.

>>I used to be vegan, for three plus years. I can't recommend the diet.

>>It was extremely unhealthy for me, personally.

Agreed. It was the worst decision of my life. I lost considerable muscle mass and power and it wasn't until I had blood work done that I found I was low in creatine, B12 and so forth, the usual things only found in animals. I was told by my vegan "friends" to just take supplements and that's when the alarm bells should have rung: an optimal diet for a strictly amateur athlete shouldn't need such things. I also had alarmingly low testosterone, which I later learned was because I ate so little cholesterol. But stupidly, I stuck with it for years.

Eventually I dumped it, started eating animals of all sorts like crazy, regained my muscle mass, power (a function of creatine) and healthy test levels and life became good again.

That pushes the burden of having empathy for anyone onto the legislature writing the laws. And they decide for all cases, independent of potentially mitigating factors.

As I personally believe that a legislature is a juicy target for sociopaths seeking power and impunity, and therefore likely to demonstrate less empathy than the general population, I'd rather leave the cold rationality for writing the laws, and the empathy for interpreting them in a just manner.

Practice rationality in determining the facts of the case. Practice empathy in deciding whether to convict or acquit, and in the sentencing for the convicted.

Cold rationality is how Jean Valjean gets 20 years in the galleys for stealing bread.
Maybe not specifically to be loud about, but I do think it appeals to some people specifically to be able to claim or feel a sense of moral superiority. I was molested as a child and spent some years wanting to be vegetarian in part due to wanting to find some means to feel "pure." I am hardly unique in having grown up with a lot of emotional baggage. Most people are raised with either a shame or a guilt model. I think trying to find some resolution for having had that hung on them is a big motivator for a great many life choices in the world.
> blindly ignoring all data that correlates with race is also bad

This is a very theoretical, futuristic red herring. Race factors into decision-making far, far too much. It's like worrying that if someone developed a perfect, bug-free crypto library, then everyone would use it and we'd have a monoculture - not really a present concern, and in fact a good problem to have (nor is it an eloquent analogy, but I have to run).
What truly upsets me is that not a single politician really knows or wants to see how to fix healthcare!

Right now its like pulling a rope - we keep Obamacare at cost of billions of dollars, or we lose it at cost of millions lives affected, eventually.

Meanwhile big pharma thrives and examples like yours prove how corrupted US system is!

I'm still waiting for one single politician (not its not Trump) to actually start fixing healthcare from the bottom up! Fix the cost of drugs, therapies, etc, and all of sudden we need 1/10,000th of the initial costs.

> At least now the code that "seems to work" usually does, and is memory-safe now, so yes, it's an improvement.

The most significant part of that statement comes from accepting contributions into your project.

Java has made it much saner to just look at a patch and LGTM +1, over any work I've ever done in C/asm.

Trust in the careful handling of memory by a stranger has been replaced by trust in the system to complain if they don't ... which has made for bigger and wider communities of strangers sending each other patches.

Interesting. "rename" is generally not supported by object storage, but an API to "copy with a new name & delete" often is, which allows the same result. I presume that would work? (We're planning to add that in the future.) Pagination is on the list as well...

I'm really surprised if this really surprised him. I mean, the ex-CEO of one of the most powerful and influential corporates on Earth didn't know that soldiers, public teachers, medical personnel etc. are employed by government?? If that's true, I don't even know what to say. I would find it ridiculous, laughable, if it wasn't so sad.

The population charts (http://usafacts.org/us-population) are interesting. It looks like the government continually underestimated the population, resulting in the "spikes" as each Census brought numbers up toward reality
Yep - I agree with you 100%, just pointing out what their page says. I'd love to see B2 get more data centers around the world - when we have to do a 500GB restore on a server in Germany, it's already slow even pulling from S3 - with B2 it would be even slower.
I feel the same way. I think the article mostly describes the "travel porn" phenomenon which can also be found in a lot of "digital nomad" blogs: people making a living out of exhibiting a seemingly glamorous lifestyle.

To me, that lifestyle is only attractive if it can be combined with other fulfilling activities and relationships - which might be in their case, but isn't conveyed through their social media image.
Looks awesome -- I am suprised this is able to render on a phone but I guess they are getting powerful.

However, I would say this is not anything 'game-changing' or really that new.

To be honest, I feel like Microsoft is truly the pack leader in terms of AR but the Hololens's are so expensive I can't see them becoming a market leader
Talk about your fluff pieces!

Sorkin's article ignores Ballmer's billion-dollar tax dodge... er, break... for buying a basketball team.* Ballmer should revise his boast from "paid for with pre-tax dollars" to "paid for with "shamefully un-taxed dollars."

Interesting terms that don't show up when Googling Ballmer's site (at least as of today...)

tax expenditure
tax shelter
estate tax
good will
sports team
basketball

site:usafacts.org

And so much for the "already taxed" argument by Trump's billionaire class (and their gullible working-class sycophants) against the estate tax. How much supposedly already-income-taxed dollars of wealth will soon escape estate taxes? And how much will all of these tax expenditures add to working and middle class taxes and the national debt?

Now that, Mr. Sorkin, would be an interesting article.

Being vegetarian really changed my "biology" and "mentality". After a few years I was super sensitive to meat. Could smell it, even just broth, in food. It would make me somewhat sick if I ate it. I think you loose enzymes needed to break it down. Meat stopped being food to me. Was not hungry for it, did not think mmmmm when I smelled it. A few more years and I was repulsed by site of raw meat. When I saw chicken on bone all I could think of was muscles and bones in my own arm and how I wouldn't eat that!

I started (and ended) being vegetarian for health reasons. Somewhere along the way I concluded it was morally wrong to eat meat esp mammals. No one convinced me, it just arose from mental and physical changes. I was / am kind of shocked I feel that way.

After 12-14 years being vegetarian I started eating meat again. I still believe it is morally wrong. I actually went to aqurium to tell fish that I was sorry that I was going to start eating them. Guess I was resolving guilt i felt. I struggle a lot with depression. After trying many things with no success, I decided I needed meat. Can't be sure correlation, but health is better now. I feel guilty eating animals, but I'm selfish enough/depression sucks enough for me to put my health before (some of) my morals.

That's me, YMMV.

It depends. With a well balanced fighting game I don't mind losing to a good human opponent because it means that my game improves. Playing against someone who's good is a great way to find out what moves/patterns you thought might be safe aren't.

I agree that if you have no way to measure that progress/improvement then the fun is lost.

Aren't uniform standards as likely as a universal algorithm? There always will be messy edge cases where human judgment is needed. Mandatory sentencing rules worked out badly (though the current U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is still in favor of them!)

Or am I misunderstanding you?
Your next Java microframework?
Because a lot of vegans are just asses and won't let you enjoy meat without trying to make you feel guilty about it.

Whatever float your boat as long as you don't tell me what to do / what to eat / what to think.

Once a vegan asked me if I enjoyed eating "dead animals". I asked him if he preferred I'd eat them alive which put an end to the conversation.

A perfect 2.4-meter mirror observing in the visual (500 nm) would have a diffraction limited resolution of around 0.05 arcsec, which from an orbital altitude of 250 km would correspond to a ground sample distance of 0.05 m. Operational resolution should be worse due to effects of the atmospheric turbulence.

"Numerology" might be a better word.
One thing I discovered from lifting weights is that learning generalizes, typically referred to as "carry-over". In weightlifting, this means that squats and bent over rows will both improve your deadlift. In general learning, this means that for instance learning about nonlinear dynamic systems, nuclear physics or crystal chemistry will make you a better molecular biologist. I've also found essay writing will improve your programming (as well as the reverse), and logic/mathematical proofs carry over a bit to both.

This carry over effect is important in particular because when you study one thing for a while your learning rate starts to suffer from diminishing returns. As a result, even though the carryover from another field might not be that high, you can actually improve faster in your main field by studying something else. Thus you can optimize your learning by rotating areas of study fairly often, only coming back to a previously visited topic when it's "fresh" again.
I think he was surprised at the scale, not that those groups counted as gov't.

Curious as to why you would say that. Having a cursory look at both, they don't appear to be even close to discussing the same things. The link you provided is much more theoretical, and about probability.
> makes you wonder why the imagery floating around with reporting on war zones and incidents are of such bullshit quality.

Hard to say what you're talking about without examples, but stuff like military targeting cameras are frequently 1970s tech, and looking via infrared to boot. There's plenty of high-res footage from war zones available.

> even the supposedly recorded-with-mobile footage is always so bad. as if the person is stumbling around not knowing their phone's cammera is rolling.

Being shot at has that sort of effect. That said, there's some pretty remarkable 4k drone footage coming out of ISIS these days, along with lots of GoPro footage.
Lithium Levels in Tap Water and the Mental Health Problems of Adolescents
Quick Calculus by Daniel Kleppner

Also, if you can find an ancient copy of Thomas Calculus when it was two volumes. Buy the first volume. Solve all the odd problems, the solutions are in the back. That's how I learned!

A later edition of Thomas was a single volume big thick yellowish book. It was very good. We used it as freshmen at MIT. You could learn from it. I don't remember if that version had answers in it. But solving problems and having answers to check against is key.
I'm actually leaning towards the fact that all the starchy carbs vegans/vegetarians typically consume are far more harmful to health than meat. Just look at all of the amazing results coming out regarding a low carb diet and the positive health effects (consuming meat or not).

Yeah, there is high-resolution data available, but it is scattered around small-scale web portals mostly built by the government in this local area, and aggregating and polishing this data is a non-trivial huge effort (they come in different scales, projections and quality).

Furthermore most data is orthographic only, so you can built a nice 2D map out of it, but to do 3D I estimate you need images from specified angles (e.g. 4 views per place), and I think this data is still behind closed doors and quite expensive.
But this can lead to 'Secular Growth' of containers in the industry.
