The color known as indigo is common, sure, but it is not distinguished by English speakers. As you note they're called "blue" jeans.

Another way color perception changes culturally: the gamut of reds (in particular) has changed due to the advent of industrial dies, changing people's description of what is "typically" red.
It depends what is meant by computer. Certainly they don't have anything analogous to source code, registers and the operations that CPUs carry out on them, addressable memory, etc. Nurons are also different in many significant respects from the analogous elements in computational neural nets.

However there are a lot of flat statements like this made in the article where I’m not entirely sure what the author meant or what grounds he had for saying it and this is one of them. Another is:

"The invention of language was understood at once to be incredibly useful. Again, it seems to have spread through the species almost instantaneously."

How can anyone possibly know that, especially if we have no real idea when it happened?

Edit:

Another thing that got my back up a bit were the disdainful references to 'influential persons', as though David Krakauer and Cormac McCarthy are renegade outsiders.

There are some really good points here that I largely agree with. Most of what we do or know or think or even say is processed or generated by the unconcious mind. I know what I am going to write here and now, but I don't know it in linguistic form until I actually write it. I'm generating it in a non-English language representation in my brain and converting that written into English and only part of that pipeline is really conscious.
The source IP of the HTTP request is the IP of the system that makes the TCP connection, so when you use a load balancer it will always be coming from a single IP. This is what webservers and other software use when logging which is why the source IP does is not accurate in regular logging. That's what the documentation is saying - it's in the troubleshooting section because if you're only seeing a single IP then it's because you're looking at logs that won't have the right information.

Instead most proxies and load balancers add the X-Forwarded-For header which appends all IPs that are involved in the request. If you read the entire documentation page, the Fundamentals section shows what headers are added:

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/#c...

The proxies set HTTP request/response headers as follows:

Via: 1.1 google (requests and responses)
X-Forwarded-Proto: [http | https] (requests only)
X-Forwarded-For: <unverified IP(s)>, <immediate client IP>, <global forwarding rule external IP>, <proxies running in GCP> (requests only)
X-Cloud-Trace-Context: <trace-id>/<span-id>;<trace-options> (requests only)

The Marshal Plan offering was actually a bluff by the US - they knew that the USSR would never accept it on priciple, so they took the free good PR and offered it anyway.

The bigger point here though is that Poland didn't just magically end up being ruled by Stalin (via local proxies). Allied forced gave it up to him in part of a political deal, even though 200,000 Polish soldiers fought on the Western front
with an idea of returning to free Poland after the war. (actually, upon hearing of this betrayal, dozens of Polish military officers committed suicide).
Rite of Passage, man, rite of passage. (Not that I endorse that.)
I don't know the British numbers, but in Germany a car travels less than 50km per day on average, that would consume about 8kWh of electricity. You can load these 8kWh in about 8 hours at 1 kW, that is less than the load of a vacuum cleaner and much less than a kitchen stove. Incandescent lightbulbs used to consume up to 100w each. So I cannot see where a grid overload would come from, if e.g. the cooking times are mostly avoided.

In general, as soon as there are enough electrical cars on the road to be noticed by the utility companies, there will be incentives to preferably load at times where the grid benefits from their consumption, as late at night, or when there is a surplus of solar energy. In this function, electrical cars can rather help supporting the grid stability.
Http/2 and websockets are not interchangeable, you cant choose to use http/2 if you want a bidirectional lightweight communications protocol to the client.

The initial upgrade http request from the client should have all the headers you need.
Most of the "safety" in the delivery tech lies in the fact that there's only one dose of drug in the dispenser. Or, er, all of the safety? It's not an enormous achievement.

Hell, Mylan even has a competitor that made their own dispenser to avoid the patent, but ... now there are two of them playing largely the same game.

The hurdle here is FDA approval, not the innovation of delivery mechanisms. These are all relatively simple injectors, whose primary value lies in being single-dose.
It wasn't nearly as divided at the start of the war.

I hate the idea that government agencies can deploy technology like a blimp that flies around for 6 months at a time listening to everything in order to spy on citizens who should have a right to freedom and privacy, but a little part of my brain can't help but think "That is so cool."
Because it's poor accounting. Given the scale of the US military and it's annual expenditure just existing, to make a fair comparison you should at least take account of the marginal cost of the war, not the total cost.

There is also the opportunity cost to take account of, but that's much harder (impossible?) to put an accurate figure on.

Agreed! While walking around the neighbourhood with my four year old, I found someone disposing of a skateboard. I grabbed it, and rode around for a bit. I'm hooked again! It has been 25 years since I was in to skateboarding. I bought a new board yesterday, pulled out my snowboarding wrist guards because I need my wrists to make money with a keyboard, and got to work learning my balance all over again last night for about 15 minutes. I'm bringing it to work to ride at lunch. I refuse to die with two young kids because I was too stupid to make exercise a priority.
I often notice this effect when lying in bed with one eye open, and the other closed on the pillow.

The closed eye will be bluer, the open redder. My own theory (backed up by nothing but a hunch) is that the closed eye adjusts its white-balance to compensate for the red light coming through the eyelid by becoming bluer.
It's a reasonable question. For a long time I was using two phones for exactly that reason: a Nokia 6310i for phone calls and an iphone for everything else. Unfortunately 6310i got damaged (the battery was still able to keep the phone running for more than 10 days!) and I bought a smartphone to act like a phone (a popular Android device). It's obviously superior to 6310i in several ways - for example text messages can be typed faster. However, the phone lasts only two days. With Nokia, I charged it once and forgot about it for two weeks. With a smartphone, I need to always remember to make sure the battery is at a reasonable level.
If I had a chance to buy a genuine (not refurbished/clone) 6310i, I'd do it straight away.
Perhaps, then, you can explain what you meant in your post "Apparently, remembering gypsies and other groups 'diminishes the memory' of the holocaust because they were just 'political prisoners'".

It sounds like you were suggesting that that statement is a widely held belief amongst Jews in general. The tabloid article you linked doesn't support that claim. So what exactly is your claim?
I don't care about all of the stories, especially when half of them are hearsay.
Kind of irritating that the missing page is where the sandworm lifecycle discussion starts..

On that topic, one of several things I'd have loved to quiz FH on: was he aware of 1962 research on cannibalistic memory transmission in planaria (flatworms)? [1] The Duniverse-relevant combination of transmissible RNA-based memory (thought plausible at the time) and ... worms is suggestive!

> the problems were caused by not having an intuitive understanding of, for example, the difference between f(x+a) and f(x)+a

Does the author really advocate that the instructor of advanced college course needs to spend his time on explaining the difference between f(x+a) and f(x)+a to his students?

I don't have any idea how someone with such an understanding of algebra could even get into a college even if he wanted to learn humanities. If a college student doesn't get it, it's the college mission to fail him as fast and possible, not to spend time trying teach him something middle school should have.
That's because there's no such thing as 90% vegetarian, it's a binary option which you've re-purposed into a scale.

I eat meat at every opportunity, but if I were to calculate a number such as yours then I'd be say "65% vegetarian" just due to the volume difference between meat and the rest.

People taking a swing at you is most likely just because you describe yourself as a vegetarian to them even though you're still eating meat (regularly) while in their presence.
I see more red and more blue in one eye as well. You are not alone. I have asked my optometrists about this over the years and they just shrug, like "that is amusing".

Any consciousness vastly superior to ours would be so complex that we wouldn't even be aware of it. So it wouldn't matter what it would do to us. It's the same with most animals. We might as well be gods to them. An ant lives in a completely different reality. The whole concept of "animal rights" is based on the flawed notion of trying to equate our reality to that of completely different beings. Something that is unable to even understand the concept of rights is incapable of having them, or morals, to begin with. Rights are not given, they are taken. There is a reason why humans rule Earth and not gerbils. Rights or morals didn't exist until we invented them. There is no objective spiritual truth out there.

Consciousness requires a critical mass of brain power. A wolf is relatively intelligent but not conscious, they are biological machines that only think about killing and mating and they have been doing that, without change for hundreds of thousands of years. And if the environment doesn't change then they will continue being identical for hundreds of thousands of years more. Trying to give animals human properties is really very foolish. It's like trying to do that with computers, just because they can give us illusions of intelligence and consciousness, but because computers don't have cute faces and cuddly bodies nobody thinks about it. Evolution really is very efficient but brutally so. Only reason why humans have things like compassion is because it has been evolutionarily advantageous to us. A single human is really quite weak and underpowered, we need to cooperate, it's the key to our progress. It is also why we think babies are cute and why we are instinctively protective of them and why sex feels good. There really is no deeper meaning behind any of it. If we had evolved from tigers then the world would look very (brutally)different, because tigers are solitary and territorial animals that have absolutely no use for things like compassion, empathy or cooperativeness. We wouldn't think twice about killing anything if it suited us, not even other tigers and it would be completely normal to us. If some hairless ape came to us on his high horse and started preaching about morals and rights then we would think that he was crazy, and then we would eat him.
But after he won and started his violet campaign these 67% did nothing. They are directly responsible for what happened during WW2

Saying that exercise keeps the mind sharp normalizes not exercising.

I prefer to think of exercise as normal and sitting around as the mind-dulling deviation. I would say:

Not exercising can dull the mind.

A sedentary lifestyle instead of getting your heart pumping can dull the mind.

That's rather unfortunate. If I may propose an alternative treatment of Feynman though: simply forget that he was sexist and instead claim he was very progressive and helped female colleaguea all the time. People already want to be like Feynman, so if we simply turn Feynman's historical image into what we want people to be like we would accomplish more than by telling people that their heroes are evil.
And that is where we diverge: your "any" seems to indicate "never mind the intent, never mind the content: the title is slightly similar to one of a completely different article. Therefore revisionism, release the kraken!"

I consider that overzealous - this article on "it's hard to identify the now-nameless people who were mass-murdered during the Holocaust" is anything except revisionist, yet you would "report this article to the police." What for?

This is not basic - load balancing needs to be more reliable than the service behind it, which is hard to do. You can run your own instances with nginx or haproxy but you'll never get to the same reliability, scale and performance without a significant amount of work.

Google provides an incredible global load balancer tied into their networking fabric which you can't compete with. Why not use it? Businesses have limited resources and spending them on creating the same functionality at less scale and reliability just to have "control" (whatever that means here) is not worth it.
The cover story was a cover story!
It doesn't matter what the article is about. The top commenter said because of the title they expected it to mention other non Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

Using the rowing analogy again it's like an article headline "Team A dominates rowing finals" and all the article talks about is Dave in team A. Dave this, Dave that.

Someone asks about about John, Luke, Andrew on the rowing team and suddenly they're being called a Dave hater.
Sure, but they gave the help to practically anyone who could receive it. The agreement on Oder-Neisse line was indeed not due to magic, it was due to geography and military power.

The alternative? Let Patton have his way, and once Germany had surrendered, ally immediately with the Wermacht and attack the exhausted Soviet troops to force a downfall of the other mustached dictator, using the atom bomb if necessary? That wouldn't have gone down too well in the public opinion in the U.S. -- or Britain or France for that matter. Even today, there's still a Stalingrad, in the Paris metro...

You can make a good workout in 15 minutes if you have time constraints. Lifting dumbbells is not the pinnacle of exercise. Do sprint-related things or other high intensity training.

I agree with this. The "trick" for me was squash. Was never a "sports person" but always thought ping-pong was fun. Approached squash like it was a fun, goofy ping-pong hobby (as its basically fun with no skill whatsoever). Ended up feeling the competitive drive kick in. Got a few lessons so I felt confident that I was making progress. Now I've been doing it several times a week for over a year, gone to a few tournaments, and have a good roster of 10-15 people (now friends!) whom I play regularly.

I think as technology people, we often grew up missing the athletic / team / social aspect associated with sports, which helps make it actually desirable to keep as a lifestyle activity. I now have a good group of friends from this one hobby (where before, I'd have been more likely to just have video game buddies, drinkimh buddies, etc).

Your understanding of tribal psyche is wrong.

1) Human bonding (mother-child, family, and extended, symbolic tribes) is mediated in the brain by oxytocin. It turns out oxytocin also boosts xenophobia. Someone who claims to hail patriotism without being racist is therefore full of shit. They are two sides of the same coin, enlarging one enlarges the other.

2) Stigmatizing people for belonging to a group strengthens their tribal attachment to said group [a]. By punishing or threatening to punish a group of people, you enhance their tribal bonds and, per 1) their xenophobia, the very thing you're trying to rein in.

It's not about being moral, it's about effectiveness.

The only way to dispel tribal identity is to dilute it in a larger, weaker one, by being open to their members.

Lisp is too powerful
Hence my question. So now if you allow industry-specific taxation, then you just craft a special bill that cuts taxes for large airplane manufacturers and Boeing gets a tax cut.

Boeing has a lot to offer a state. They could put their production in lots of places, including in other countries. If a state finds value in having Boeing there, there's nothing wrong with incentivizing them to go there.

If smaller businesses find that the state is hostile to them for one reason or another - maybe because they feel overtaxed because of big breaks for the big companies, then smaller businesses will not do as well in that state and will tend to migrate elsewhere. Then the state might need to rethink its tax policy like New York has been doing with its reduced rates for new businesses.

At the end of the day, we don't need the Federal government micro-managing the states. The USA wasn't formed that way and it would be yet another Federal overreach that would create backlash and perverse incentives. You mentioned the EU. The EU is dealing with that sort of backlash now with Brexit and other referenda. Overreach by central governments is a proven route to tyranny.
This is probably the explanation - I have certainly seen the sort of software equivalents that several other posters have written about - but I am wondering if it might have come from a military-industrial / cost-plus contracting style of development.

1h in the gym

My new life changing discovery is that you don't need to spend an hour. I've long resisted going to the gym for exactly the reasons you describe, but I've recently joined a gym just round the corner from my office and realized that I can go either before work or on my lunch break, and more importantly that by having a plan before I go and being efficient about it I can be in and out in 30 minutes or less. For me the practical difference now between going and not going to the gym being at work at 8.30 and being at work at 9.00.

make it more convenient to go than to not go - hack your routine. Once you're there, you'll be less likely to resist the small amount of effort to actually work out.

Leave your work access card (or some other daily essential) in a locker overnight if they'll let you, so you have to go to the gym in the morning no matter what.

Take pre-workout in a morning or before you leave work so you have too much energy to _not_ go to the gym.

You only need to bootstrap the habit. Then it becomes natural.
