I had been wondering whether it was just Tokyo being more cosmopolitan but I'm now wondering if the reason for less adversarial encounters is simply that I haven't purchased a bike since leaving Ogaki.

(If this sounds dumbfounding to folks with less context: bicycle theft is near the top of police priorities and they have the impression that foreigners are the primary cause of it. "Suspicion of stealing my own bicycle" has historically been the most common thing which attracted me adversarial attention.)

Speaking of flash & it being used to build entire websites, this we hear made it hard to index those sites. I remember when I was at university, the university network didn't work with android devices because it worked over a proxy and Google/Android weren't fond of a proxy server because it prevented them from tracking the user. Lots of tools have died solely because they prevent bigger companies to flourish. Not saying Adobe aren't big but you know Google and Apple are massive.

Correct, a gender fluid person may feel more male some days and more female other days. This has nothing to do with sexuality or genitals.

In fact, cisgender heterosexual men who express a preference for women born with a vagina may be transphobic against women who have a penis.

The Battle of the Blackest Black versus the Pinkest Pink – Now I Know
A well written essay and review. A few musings of my own.

Discovery has improved greatly. Even if my set of beliefs, values and preferences are quite rare I can still use the internet and related technology to discover other like-minded people. Outcasts and eccentrics more easily find that they are not quiet as alone in the world as their face-to-face experience would lead them to believe. The outsiders can find those with whom they can be insiders.

Social media and all forms of modern communication technology enable a form of community without requiring geographical proximity. But is this sufficient?

Dispersed, technologically connected communities of like-mindedness still feel hollow to me compared to villages and communities of people living together in a communal way, face-to-face, sharing tragedies and triumphs and the very human basics of sex, companionship and some form of family.

How is the instinct toward Utopia changing? What new forms of Utopian experiments are possible today that were not in previous generations?

In theory, one might think this just makes you hardcore and productive. In practice, it always seems to be people who are (merely) equally or a little less productive than people who don't work all the time. But the optics is so convicing before you join and early on. As time goes on, you see the truth. I think everyone has this experience at least once.
I think the issue is more about whether someone's real name should be used in a controversial "news" piece. Even, if it is factually correct.

Doing the comparison with code running on the potentially compromised system does not tell you much. Doing it another way is expensive for large scale (involves pulling chips and seeing what's in them).
I don't think you're anywhere near more likely to be killed in a house fire today. Fires are much less common, owing to much fewer naked flames (for heat and light) and much less fuel lying around to sustain them. And even when the fire does happen, modern houses are much less flammable (less wood is used, and the wood that is used is often treated, carpets, drapes, furniture etc is made from flame retardant materials) so fires spread more slowly. Also, smoke alarms will help you discover the fire in time and get out, which you can generally do, because modern building codes ensure multiple exits.

I'm pretty sure something similar is true for stairwell falls and drownings would probably be tempered by the prevalence of lifeguards in popular swimming spots, and signage warning of particular dangerous areas.
Nice article, I would add:

Dear Comcast: here in "the real world", if you decide to cut capital investment so you can make more profits, that's on YOU. If those cuts result in your service being increasingly terrible, that's on YOU.

Japan has a country wide stigma against people who wear tattoos due to it being a primary feature of Yakuza (Japanese Mafia), typically due to a history of them bringing their bad reputation into respectable establishments. Public bath houses and hot springs actively ask people with tattoos to leave because of this. While the younger generation have been getting themselves tattooed more these days, it's still pretty much frowned upon by society as a whole and isn't tolerated, period.

> The people in that Asian country should just accept her for who she is and deal with it.

This is exactly the mentality being discussed in this thread that is so abhorrent. You don't see Japanese people strolling into an American house and telling everyone they should take their shoes off before entering. Why should their society turn a blind eye to foreigners and accept something that is non-trivially a massive taboo in their own country?
Yes this is what the left has been pushing in America. The whole issue, having never really crossed the minds of most people, suddenly became front and center with the help of a coordinated push by most of the liberal media.

I don't have anything against transgenders, nor do I really care what bathrooms or changing rooms someone decides to use. And I roll my eyes at the typical fear mongering by all the 'what about my little girl having to share a bathroom with a pedo tranny guy' on the right.

The issue I have is that the left doesn't understand science with regard to gender, nor do they realize all the negative consequences their own gender-less policies are going to cause.

We're already seeing biological men, claiming to be women, dominating women's sports. The Soviet bloc countries used to cheat at the Olympics, dosing their women with large amounts of androgens. Now shady teams will just use men who've decided they're women - how dare you tell me what gender I am - and sweep up the golds.

It won't be long until men start taking advantage of all the female scholarships, hiring quotas, and every other benefit feminists have pushed for women. And the minute these cases go to court, the same tactics the left used to push their agendas are going to bite them in the ass due to case precedence.

And now we're moving into to the idea that race can be 'decided' by the individual.

Personally, it's about time. As a white cis male, I'm tired of being the punching bag due my so-called privilege. I'm looking forward to my new job at Google @ $250k / year and masters at Harvard. Cause now, as I've decided to be an African-American female engineer, it appears the barriers to entry have just been lowered.

As a chemical engineer who started learning deep learning after learning regular old regression-based empirical modeling, my interpretation of deep learning is that it's just high-dimensional non-linear interpolation.

If what you're trying to predict can't be represented as some combination of your existing data, it breaks immediately. Data drives everything; all models are wrong, but some are useful. (George Box)
I'm one of the founders of the site. We're testing a different format which helps people learn easily about a new topic. The idea is to break down information around a topic into bite-sized, slide-like chapters making it less overwhelming and more effective compared to a lot of information dumped in a single page. We're working to make this more interactive in future, from a learner's point of view.

Enabling JS makes sure the slides work.

If you have any ideas related to navigation, i'd be happy to learn more.
It allows for a decentralized proof of ownership, useful in pop-up marketplaces. Right now there's an energy marketplace in Brooklyn using it, which makes sense because you can then trade energy from one user to another without having a central record-keeper/controller.

Often, the people keeping the records of who owns what have become extremely powerful - it is my understanding that this technology has the potential to change that dynamic.
What can we do about this? This is completely unacceptable! Note, I'm not referring to the source code, I could care less, I'm referring to removing this obvious breach of privacy that will be used by governments.
> A good example would be going from "direct DB access" to "global memcache" to "local memcache backed by global memcache" - all without application changes.

I strongly disagree: I'd rather debug something wrong with the lone application level change which added the cache support at the application level, rather than have to enter the long and deep rabbit hole of the path the code takes at the point I ask for a resultset and I get something from the DB-backed ORM, or from a global memcache, or blah.

But then again, I happily develop on mostly-Perl codebase(s) ;)

Even if you do have the budge for two native apps it may be that you would rather not spend all that money twice, or you would rather have one app with twice the features of two native apps.

That said, all cross-platform solutions at the moment currently suck, except maybe Flutter, but that is still very alpha.

Steve Wozniak Discusses the Apple I (KansasFest 2013)
I liked Flash and still think it is vastly superior to HTML5 when it comes to games or interactive experiments BUT Flash was a closed source, proprietary tech that was controlled by a single actor and not future proof. I understand now the dangers of such platforms and why the web should be free and open.
I'm not familiar with the current generation of dating apps, but I met my wife on plentyoffish a few years ago. I also was a lonely introvert and provide my experience as an example to the OP:

I was in a very similar situation to the OP, an introvert who's career and interest led to a state of near constant solitude. I lived this way for over 10 years. I had a weekly routine; weekend was going to the store and househould maintenance, weekdays were going to work and fiddling with side projects after work. I would visit family every few months. But otherwise I was entirely alone. I feel that I am a true introvert, and relished it for few years, but it ground on me. Later I realized that I could die and no one would know for weeks. This was profoundly saddening to me.

I used online dating off and on for years with no success, and a lot of frustration as the parent indicates. It can be crushing to message 20 women and get zero responses. Over the years I worked on tweaking a message (a/b testing essentially) to see what would get responses, got some flattering photos to use. Then after I started getting some responses, and going on a few dates, still nothing. At one point I gave up for good, decided I was asexual and unlovable, and resolved to live out my life alone.

I won't say I was ever depressed, I do have a melancholy disposition. I experienced one episode of real depression for maybe a day, it was a dark pit, I couldn't stand to live. Luckily it only lasted a day, and never returned. That episode showed me how bad depression can really be. Not a constant state of being down or blue, but grinding darkness that makes your own skin unbearable. It was terrifying.

What drove me out of all this was series of illnesses with my parents. I had always imagined I'd get married have kids, but had zero success dating. I realized if I ever had kids, they wouldn't know my parents if I didn't act. So I got back on the horse, systematically used plentyoffish to date a lot (edit; well, less than 10 so not a lot) of girls and eventually met my wife and we have two kids.

Nowadays, I'm happier than I've ever been, but things aren't perfect. Being married is hard, particularly since my wife and I were both older when we met and "set in our ways". She's not the easiest person to live and neither am I. Our kids are a joy though. I get zero alone time now, which also grates on me. I REALLY need it, and my spouse is not sympathetic.

My wife says about herself "I was lonely wierdo, until I met you, now I'm not lonely, just wierd", which also applies to me, which amuses us.

Anyway all that's my .02, you're not alone, and that was my path.

My team switched an entire application from C# (~350k loc) to F# (~30k loc). Smaller team, smaller code base, fewer bugs, complete implementation of requirements, clearer code. The whole of the F# code base was less than the number of blank lines in the C# code base and a lot more fun to read and write.

If I remember the original article correctly, it WAS too hard. It proved impossible to prevent offensive shapes from sneaking in. It actually killed the game.

When Minecraft came along a few years later, they avoided the problem by making users host the servers. This shifted liability away from the central developer and put the onus on the player community to sort themselves out.
Had flash not existed, I suspect they would have used another video playback plugin, or rolled their own. I don't think YouTube's success was dependent on Flash. But the ubiquity of Flash certainly didn't hurt.
I've always wondered what the advice would look like if you compiled a list of what not to do from failed companies. TFA is a list of the successful ones who got it right, so we know what they did to make it. Yet I'm sure many people follow this advice and still fail.

You can find wildly varying statistics, but somewhere between 50% and 90% of startups will fail within 2 years. What did those companies do (or failed to do) that made them close up shop?

I would recommend starting with SBT templates, and I second the recommendation of Scala for the Impatient.

We began working with Scala very slowly, only using it for small internal projects until we were more familiar with the language and stack.

We also avoided heading too deep into category theory territory in the beginning. Libraries like Cats and Scalaz are not allowed (currently).
> I mean, isn't there possibility for abuse?

There's a possibility for abuse one way or the other; the idea that segregation by sex or otherwise ascribed gender not aligned with gender identity is a prevention of abuse rests on a (usually, not explicitly stated) combination of beliefs that does not hold up to scrutiny, to wit:

(1) Abuse occurs only in the direction of sexual preference,

(2) Sexual preference is universally heterosexual based on sex or socially ascribed gender (rather than gender identity) of both the actor and the object of potential desire.
And event then you have to trust the closed source synthesis tools on top of the FPGA itself... Of course it would be harder to backdoor but it's probably doable, especially if it targets those particular designs specifically.

There's simply no way to get a completely trusted computer stack nowadays, short of assembling it by hand using discrete electronics. It won't run very fast though...

I guess an alternative would be to crowdfund the production of an open source CPU then take a few samples and send them to people with an electron microscope and a lot of patience to make sure that the silicon really matches the design and wasn't tempered with in the fab.
Incidentally, humans aren't very good at extrapolation, either, but our ability to generate good hypotheses differentiates us strongly from these models.
Intel seems to gate their management features through the chipsets instead, with vPro as the primary user-accessible interface being limited to business lines.
The economic pressure to fix this, if it happens, will come from the enterprise side: Some large, cyber-security-conscious (that should be all of them, but alas) customer moving towards a policy that bans unauditable MEs with DMA.

I was introduced to the Kubernetes source code by an Redhat Kubernetes Core Contributor. He showed me the nasty parts how they solved the lack of generics. Actually they use strings to concat valid go source code based on reflections. A little tedious but given the constraints for language choice they had (fast, compiled binary, close to the metal) I think Go is still a decent choice for Kubernetes.
Helium-3 is the waste product of pure deuterium fusion. The YCombinator-funded fusion startup Helion is working on a hybrid D-D/D-He3 reactor, which it says will produce only 6% of its energy as neutron radiation. Deuterium of course is absurdly abundant on Earth.

Another aneutronic reaction is proton-boron. Boron isn't as abundant as deuterium but there's still enough on Earth to last tens of thousands of years. (The reaction use B11, which is 80% of natural boron.) pB11 fusion is especially difficult but several startups are trying it; the biggest is Tri Alpha, with about $500M invested. They attained stable plasma a year ago and just completed a larger reactor.

With D-T, the easiest reaction, there may be ways to engineer around the neutron issue. General Fusion does fusion pulses in the middle of a vat of molten lead and lithium. MIT's ARC design is more conservative, with a compact tokamak and modular construction. The inner wall is 3D-printed and replaced annually; they say after a couple decades the radioactivity will have decayed enough for cheap disposal. They surround the core with a blanket of molten FLiBe salt as coolant and breeding blanket.
What make those better or more open in your mind? In my experience modern ARM SoCs aren't a whole lot more open than x86 CPUs.

Some studies beg to differ. Also improvements in batteries will make this problem much less important. And even then, they don't have to cover 100% of the energy generation, if they cover a significant % with the rest provided by more traditional sources, it might be enough.

I think in context the parent was somewhat suggesting the opposite though. The websites for (higher-end) restaurants and hotels are often this mess of sliding images and pop-ups that can, among other things, make it almost impossible to do something simple like find the address, make a reservation, or look at the menu. And a lot of this was done in Flash at some point.

I suspect it just became a sort of arms race with everyone competing on sizzle rather than usability.

What you're describing is pretty much small businesses everywhere. Presumably this is a lot of Squarespace's target market.

He's well known among people who are into that sort of thing.
From briefly reading the paper and the post-hoc analysis, it seems that they were very clear about their post-hoc analysis and its limitations. In this situation, whoever are reading into it more than they should (could be novartis and their marketing, could also be the physician colleagues of yours) are the ones that should be criticized, not the authors themselves.

Edit: here are some quotes from the author of the post-hoc analysis

"Referring to the fact that these observations came from a post hoc analysis, Pfeffer said: 'I normally draw a line here, and I wouldn't cross this line if we had things to do for these patients.'

But he added: 'This is a growing part of the heart-failure syndrome. And if we have something that can help these 40% to 50% of people with symptomatic heart failure and an impaired prognosis—if we can improve their prognosis and take care of the safety measures—then I will go below this line by stating that our observations in the Americas—that spironolactone was associated with reduced CV deaths and hospitalizations for CHF—should be taken into account.'"
Yeah, but nothing compared to Charles Guan, or so I've heard.
