The problem i would see with centralization of routing is not reliability, but rather susceptibility to censorship; as the old saying goes "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" - while one could argue that root dns servers are central-ish, they are hosted all over the world, so a single actor can hardly impose worldwide censorship. It is a known fact that malicious actors can manipulate BGP (see Hacking Team), but it is still better than putting all of our collective eggs in Google's basket...

Distributed things though, mesh networks, IPFS - that's what's giving me hope.
I'm not sure... I think it might cancel perfectly. I'd have to do the integral to make sure, but at least conceptually if you bisect the sun in half in any diresction, the net momentum flux is equal in both directions. That's only if the interior of the sphere is dark; I don't know how elastic reflections would figure in to this.
It really is amazing how much of a difference that contour style makes - I picked one up for long stretches of coding when I otherwise tend to develop "hunched-over-the-computer" syndrome. The pressure relief on the chest and shoulders is immense and it's hard not to have good posture when using it. It was so effective that I don't even need it anymore (is that ironic?), except now and then when sitting at a desk all day starts to feel uncomfortable.

The war on drugs failed decades ago...

If you subscribe to the view that the war on drugs is/was chiefly motivated by white supremacy and the preservation of a minority right-wing establishment (as Ehrlichman apparently did [1]), it's arguably been a success.

The administration is supported by a minority of the electorate, the administration is a right-wing regime filled with unrepentant bigots, the administration wants the war on drugs to be maintained and intensified. These things fit together in a very unsurprising way, once one can get over the shock of just how petty and vile the fabulously wealthy elites running the government turn out to be.

Adblockers have their limits, too. Some news providers take images embedded in the article and ads from the same server, making the two rather hard to distinguish. You either end up with false positives or false negatives.

Quite a few pages will not show you anything if they detect your adblocker, too. And don’t even get me started on all those scandals in which certain adblockers have been shown not to block ads because they were paid to do so... I don’t see adblockers as the answer. Also because the consumer-provider interaction should not feel like an arms race but as a trade at the end of which both sides should be happy.

I similarly find myself frustrated with philosophy of mind "contributions" to conversations on deep learning/consciousness/AI. There seems to be a lot of equivocation between the things you label as (a) and (b) above, and a lot of apathy toward distinguishing between them. But (a) and (b) are completely different things, and too often it seems like critics of computers doing smart things treat arguments for one like they are arguments for the other.

Probably the most famous AI critic, Hubert Dreyfus, said "current claims and hopes for progress in models for making computers intelligent are like the belief that someone climbing a tree is making progress toward reaching the moon." But it is progress. Because by climbing a tree I've gained much more than height. I actually did move toward the moon. I've gained the insight that I'm using the right principle.

Last time I did something in C requiring spreading work across a cluster of machines it was with MPI(CH). Docs available at mpich.org. This was Monte Carlo simulation for hyper-dimensional (~8 IIRC) asset allocation and thus the simulations were easily divisible—recombining was just simple arithmetic—and the network I/O was minimal.

Interesting tidbit (to me anyway): This was 2006, before you could use something like AWS for the purpose and we were trying to keep costs to a minimum. (IBM had their "public one" grid but it was unusable.) The Core 2 Duo processor had just come out so I hired an intern from Cal—now a PhD and brilliant engineer at Netflix—to figure out the optimal overclocking rig and we built 32 chassis consisting of just motherboard, RAM, NIC, custom cooling/heatsink, and power supply. The problem was then how to deploy these in a colo. At the time there were some low end providers at 200 Paul willing to get creative with a cabinet so I found a machinist (metal worker?) able to cut some custom aluminum shelving on top of which we could stack the ATX cases. Rigged the boxes up to network boot off one of the nodes, compiled our application with Intel's C++ compiler to take advantage of the SIMD/SSE3 instruction set, and away we went running billions of simulations on a startup budget.
Have you really tried them? For me, mechanical keyboards are among those things in the category "You don't know what you're missing but once you know, you can't go back." Like heroin, I guess. Buckling spring probably not, but maybe some Cherry switch would be just the right thing for you. Anyway, before I got my Unicomp I had no idea how bad other keyboards were, especially laptop keyboards.

Coincidentally, I've retired my Unicomp yesterday to save desk space in exchange for a Pok3r with Cherry blue switches. It's one of the few mechanical "hipster" keyboards that allow you to put Ctrl next to the "a" letter, where it belongs. (HHKB has this built-in, but it's just too expensive. And it's also not programmable.) Unfortunately, the Pok3r has one disadvantage: When you set CapsLock to Ctrl and L_Ctrl to Fn, then Fn+Ctrl key combos don't work properly. So I'll have to change Paredit keybindings in Emacs. :/

It's a pity that Unicomp doesn't produce a tenkeyless keyboard.

I don't know about this scraper, but one thing that mine does (http://www.copymethat.com) is to "read" the complete page looking for certain word combinations that indicate ingredients or steps. It also considers styles and location on the page and looks for keywords that tend to start or end a recipe. It then picks what it considers to be the strongest recipe on the page. This means that it can pick up some weird things if the page doesn't actually contain a recipe; It really wants to find one!
Was the disk encrypted?
I use Paprika for my recipes and IIRC their API for fetching back your recipes (not public) was actually pretty nice. I have played around with creating a meal prep blog for a while and I was going to write a little service that would hit their API so I could make embeddable widgets for the recipe that pulled directly from my account (so if I updated it in the app the web would update as well). Not the same thing as this at all but I'd be interested to see what JSON format they use for recipes.
> If a mutual fund turns out to be using your money on personal bets (like the London Whale) or simply stealing the money outright, that's a legal issue.

Exactly, there's a difference between failure and fraud.

If you're soliciting donations to advance your OS development, then pitch the project as such. If you're promising backers a physical good, and then you decide to pivot, keep the money, and not deliver the backers anything or return their money, then people will obviously feel like you've defrauded them.

Unfortunately from a legal perspective, crowd funding backers have little to no legal recourse when businesses decide to use their contributions as an interest free loan for their other business operations.

This ofen seems good at first read till you realize there is also optional funding for states that can then be moved elsewhere. This happens in missouri with casinos. Gambling money can only be used for education but other education money doesn't have to be used for education beyond a certain level... So you put money in the casino bucket and take it out of another bucket. Effectively casino money goes to whatever the state wants once the minimums are hit.

The long throw lets you do one thing a short throw won't: you can partially depress a key without triggering it. This is handy if you're thinking.

If I hadn't just bought a Ergodox EZ I would be all over this. I don't think my wife would forgive me for a month if I bought another keyboard right now. I already owe her decorating her office because of this last one. She doesn't appreciate why my odd keyboards are a critical, work related investment.

Honestly the work to be done in search in general is still gigantic, and it's even bigger in job.

Despite having tons of stores of all sorts (app stores by microsoft apple and google, movies streaming stores like netflix, game stores like steam, ...) no one has truly found a way to solve the discoverability problem that feels really satisfying.

Some are decent, but that's mostly by sending you so many stuff at once that a few are bound to be acceptable, but that doesn't mean they were the best choices for you (eg you buy that game or look that movie, but there are other stuff you would have taken over it if the store had been able to identify them).

Job/recruiting is even harder in that it's a two way attraction, the employee need to convince you but you need to convince them back. Result being, we self impose the same "spam" of propositions by seeing tons of candidate / interviewing in tons of companies, wasting a lot of people time (let's face it, in a big share of interviews either if not both of the parties knows it won't fit after just a couple of minutes).

I have no doubt that companies who are not merely looking for marketing / reselling gimmick have a share of that space to own, Google or not.
Nice.

Elite:Dangerous is awesome. You should try it in VR--if you haven't already, it's almost a completely different game. Target/screen selection by head-tracking works great, immersion goes up significantly, and the holograms are actually holographic.

The dramatically increased spatial awareness and FoV is also useful. I find myself sticking to ships with massive cockpit windows, because I look up at them all the time.

Pity about the resolution, that's all. VR right now is good enough to use... but it'd be so much better with about twice the linear resolution.
Interesting approach, thanks for mentioning it. I guess it means you have a lot of unsuccessful results?

The only difference between heroin and oxycontin is oxycontin is more expensive. The effect is identical. Most opiate addicts that can get heroin do it because it's a fraction of the cost.
They work 8 hours a day including exercise? That seems bizarre to me. I know we don't want them burning out, etc., but if we're sending astronauts up there at great expense I'd think we'd want to ask them to put in a little more than 8 hour days.

16 hours a day plus weekends seems like a ridiculous amount of free time given that there's no commuting, family time (other than calls), yard work, social engagements, etc.

This is a good point, and I don't think we see enough economics perspective on this subject.

The problem is that "Asset Forfeiture" appears to work in making drug dealing (and other black market criminal activities) a much more risky business.

The question is how do we balance something that works with restoring property to law-abiding citizens when police make a mistake?

There seems to be little to no process around this.

There will be resistance to installing processes because criminals will use it to reclaim their dirty money and more process will cost time and money, making forfeiture less effective.
Amazon's new 'Meal Kits' are already on sale – here's what they look like
Is part of the justification for asset forfeiture to prevent criminals from hiding assets?

For example, if my wife (or girlfriend or brother or associate) buys an airplane and I use it to fly drugs from Mexico into the US, then without forfeiture laws I could be charged, but the airplane wouldn't be seized. Is that right?

I've heard the argument that money is presumed guilty (or something to that affect) and I've never quite nailed down what that was all about. Does it make sense to you?

Their PS/2 keyboards are exactly the same - they're genuine Model M keyboards. They even sold some keyboards with the IBM logo (a compact keyboard with the IBM logo, which sucked because of the goofy layout), so they must have bought some inventory in addition to the tooling from IBM.

There's a big caveat, though: not all Model M keyboards were the same, so the comparison might or might not ring true depending on what Model M you used. For example, the one that came with my PS/2 Model 50z back in the day was heavier and sturdier than some of the ones that IBM made later, and had a removable cable. The Unicomp stuff compares to what IBM was making immediately before they gave up on the whole business, I think. Then Unicomp eventually made some USB keyboards, which turned out not to be the greatest...

And yeah, the Model F was a completely different thing entirely.

(edit: in truth, I haven't bought anything there in a little over nine years, wow... their Classic 101 still looks pretty legit)
I personally swear by Cherry MX Blue, which take very little force to activate. Onc you get the hang of pressing them just enough to have the press register (i.e. Just enough for the tactile feedback) and definitely not bottom them out, it feels almost like your fingers aren't moving at all. It's very comfortable IMHO.

I don't like any high force keys and I don't like keys that basically always bottom out. I feel bad for my fingers just thinking about it. (And I haaate the 2016 MacBook Pro keyboards)
