An interesting area investment wise. Really don't know what to make of it as I do see a great deal of risk in these companies personally, that somehow others are happy with.

No real products, no real roadmap. Jim has also made some very bad pharma calls in the past and had some very clueless people running his pharma companies. That said he looks to have done some real research.

To me that's a warning sign. I like the ambition. This is Elon Musk level stuff. But he isn't crazy enough to deal in unproven potential outcomes. He knew rockets can go to space, he knew electric cars can drive, he knew batteries can store energy/money. He knew what he could sell when he solved the issues

Here i'm not sure they know what they will have in the end and that would scare me off.
air gapping removes connectivity to the wider world, and a computer system (as in, a system of computers) can totally have value without being connected to anything that is outside of the organization.

no need to resort to hyperbolic alien computers that are anyway easily hacked by plucky heroes with a taste for ascii skulls.

you're correct in that of course we may want to insert and retrieve data from a secure zone. but when those types of systems are necessary, "manual human intervention" is far too blurry. manual data entry/retrieval by vetted people ? a HUMINT problem the organizations that tend to require those systems are familiar with, and have adequate procedures to deal with. same with printouts and assorted "low tech" issues. inserting a USB key and ensuring that the whole chain doesn't compromise your very valuable system is a far more complex problem that you probably do not want to deal with if you can avoid it. there is a reason the "usb gadget give away" and "lost usb key in the parking lot" are a staple of flashy pentests demos. it works remarkably well, and is remarkably hard to defend against without enacting procedures that make the life very much harder on everyone. (try suggesting epoxying the USB ports of every single computer and servers in a medium to large company to its CISO)

like another commenter remarked. it is truly the operational challenges of ensuring your system says properly isolated from the rest of the world that are hard to deal with. cutting a cable is definitely not the end of it.
i'm sure people that deal with high assurance environments and are more qualified than i am to answer specifics have their share of stories of creatively compromised isolated environments.

Deep Learning for Coders – Launching Deep Learning Part 2
Songs aren't physical things; they are ideas. And you cannot own ideas. Allowing people to own it in the first place was a compromise by the commons so people could make some money from creating things by owning it for a short time. The copyright extensions have stolen these ideas from the commons.
The possibility of doing this terrifies me more than almost anything—by nature I'm a forgetful person. "Out of sight, out of mind" describes me down to a T.
The point stands. Do they spend more the next time for a chance of having a less miserable experience or do they fly again with the less expensive AwfulAir?
Ok, it's hard to imagine that such people exist but I believe what you say. You are right, they should rather use Medium.
Ok here's some constructive feedback:

1. Open dev console. You're trying to load non-existing fonts. You are trying to serve stripe js from your own server instead of their cdn.

2. Drop the buggy reg process and go with "standard" auth providers - google/github.

3. Take a note from upwork - let me hire and be hired with same login.

4. Once registered as "want to hire" I got 404.

EDIT: 5. Get a designer to give you professional feedback on the look and feel.
The theoretical rewards though...

I don't think this is an either/or situation.

Medium's value is in exposing new, (arguably) high-quality content to its readers.

Every so often, when you write an extra high-quality article, post it on medium as well, with a way for the reader to subscribe.
It'll expose new readers to your writing and you still keep your content on your own platform.
Something must be terribly wrong at SoundCloud engineering besides the money crunch. They have done nothing to improve the core user experience for years. They've only made it worse on iOS. Try scrolling down the feed a bit on Chrome - it heats your computer up and starts gobbling CPU. None of their paid plans get me higher quality audio, which is sorely needed because by default their audio quality is shit. As an app or paid service, it's trash.

Yet it's the sole music app I use: all of my favorite artists and music are on SoundCloud. The only thing it has going for it is the community.

The article doesn't say they should be convicted. Also, how is it "silly" when people are being put on trial for it?

I feel like the only type of person who asks this question is someone who's not a parent.

The article disproves that. One of the prosecutors who pressed for a trial is a father.

Of course it is. It's involuntary manslaughter (that's if you actually did forget, and didn't do it on purpose like some of those people). Punishable by up to 8 years in prison. Don't want to go to prison? Easy: don't leave your toddler alone in a locked car.

I read somewhere that Tesla had an innovation to prevent this, but then couldn't Google it later. Did I dream that it can anyone else remember what I half-recall?
That's exactly what this article shows: it's not easy. It only deceptively seems so.
It seems like it is playing a little fast and loose with the interpretation of hypothesis, or maybe is mixing Bayesian and frequentist reasoning in the same experiment. Either way, something seems off about the logic here (regarding the madman thought experiment). it smells a bit like a case of equivocation, but i can't put my finger on exactly what it is (and in shrouded in a sheath of mathematics)
It actually is a misdemeanor in my state to leave a child unattended in a car if it's in public and there's risk of "hyperthermia, hypothermia, or dehydration."

I looked it up after a stranger hung out at my car to nag me for leaving my son (who refused to leave the car) for five minutes in a locked car in a safe neighborhood in 75f weather.
Applied very narrowly to the right problem, maybe.

But I have also seen DO-178B to lead to a completely non-maintainable mess. That mess helps trace each statement to a requirement, but leads to code that is unreadable to anyone used to normal code.

It is not that "no extra code" and exactly meeting requirements is a bad model in itself. However writing code in a way that makes it convenient to prove the above encourages unnatural coding styles and programmatic contortions. YMMV however.

absolutely. raising the noise floor would make it harder for the adversary to pick up valuable signals. but why bother with complicated jamming setups that require you to cover a very wide spectrum, at high power, while taking care of not interfering with your own equipments, and still have signals going out that with sufficient means and motivation, a sophisticated attacker may still intercept (we're pretty good at extracting valuable signals from noise) when you can just put on your RFP to stick the lot in a faraday cage, use optical connectivity inside it, forbid wireless HIDs, buy shielded monitors and shielded phones, and put a couple of scary bald men in front of the door.
I'm a parent, I don't need to read an article to be able to tell you it is easy. If you are with a kid, just take her with you or if you can't do so, don't bring your kid along. Billions of people manage just fine.
The parent is correct and you are wrong, but they are being downvoted anyway which I expect to to happen to me as well.

“Copyright law does not protect recipes that are mere listings of ingredients….. Copyright protection may, however, extend to substantial literary expression—a description, explanation, or illustration, for example—that accompanies a recipe or formula or to a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook.”[0]

Clearly a cooking show or in my opinion a video showing the preparation of a dish in context and with commentary is protectable.

But all of the opinion on the internet matters about as much as wind striking the face of a mountain compared to an actual litigation.

It's great how trying to live forever went from being considered impossible to something that Google and many billionaires are investing a lot of money into. I think Aubrey de Grey had a lot to do with this by making the SENS approach which has helped properly characterize the types of cellular damage attributable to aging.
Indeed. And he has the money to spend and he knows how to get "friends and family" involved.

Furthermore, only one or two of the ideas have to be marketable to make a valuable pharma property. I wish i was able to burn ten,twenty million finding out if I was right or not!
If it's obvious that it should not be a crime, how is that a silly question if it's actually being treated as one? How do you change the situation if not by questioning it?

Please read the article. It's not about people who leave the kid in the car purposefully while they go do something else.

It's about people who bring the kid in the car to drop them off somewhere, and they simply forget. Yes, it happens. Yes, to regular people.

And yes, billions of people manage to do even this just fine. But it's a reasoning flaw - a well-known human bias - to assume that the people to whom it happens must be different somehow.

If you type ``` on a new line, Medium will switch to code input mode.

If you forget, Control/Command-? brings up keyboard shortcuts help, and the 2nd page has the shortcuts for code formatting.
You could think of it as a switch case statement where the valid opcodes are the cases and there is a default that catches all non defined opcodes and throws an error. Its illegal in the sense you should never expect to run an instruction with those opcodes.

2016: New Tesla software to prevent hot car deaths

One feature of the transport market (from a mile high view) is that demand is almost infinite.

It seems this is also true for cars and trucks. No matter how many roads we build, there is congestion. I think automated cars are going to show that one of the limiting factors to how much our society uses such transportation is the supply of piloting labor.

Also to chime in: It's not literally infinite. It's just much higher than the current economy can supply.
The Linux kernel is the most well known codebase that is specifically GPL-2-only. I wouldn't be surprised if there were other 2-only codebases made by people familiar with kernel development, either because they were influenced by the kernel's choice or because they wanted to be able to use code from the kernel. QEMU is in the latter boat -- we have code that was copied from the kernel, so effectively we're GPL-2-only despite having a fair amount of 2-or-later or BSD or other licensed source too. This is awkward because we'd really like to be able to use the binutils disassemblers, but we're stuck on the versions from the last GPL-2 binutils release...
It can be, and prosecutors use their discretion to charge appropriately when necessary.
Your comment made me so happy. I was asking myself if I was crazy, surely I was missing something for it to be this bad.

I really wish they would get it right, Postgres is such a powerful tool, it doesn't do it any justice.
tl;dr

British billionaire Jim Mellon wants to launch a company named Juvenescence with plans to make a big splash in anti-aging research.
If the options are 1) permissive open source license, zero income, or 2) dual license with minimal additional effort and get some fraction of users paying you, then do you really need to care about actively enforcing the license?
If you could get anywhere in the world in seconds, Star Trek transporter style, then demand would level off.

Hell no. People raised on "jump cut" vlog culture will just start jump cutting in real life. (Before anyone takes offense, they should first read Larry Niven's seminal articles about how Sci-fi authors should extrapolate sociological issues, using teleportation as his prime example.)

The one thing that HTTPS provides on non-sensitive, or even non-interactive sites is privacy; it hides the request URI from prying eyes (ISP, government etc.) That's worth a lot to me.
To someone outside the industry, the idea that much Hollywood screenwriting follows a rigid formula seems plausible. There may be creative auteurs creating bizarre plots with delightfully unpredictable pacing, but those scripts aren't being filmed and distributed to the public.

I've been out in those parts before. It's very hard to explain the reality of it to people who've never experienced it. My wife came with, she's from South Korea and I told her not to expect her phone or yelp or anything to work there. She didn't believe me and fortunately we had done a little bit of planning ahead of time otherwise we wouldn't have even been able to find a place to eat! But the notion of being so remote that your mobile phone service won't work was hard for her to understand, "we're in America, why wouldn't it work?"

I think if people consider it more like a remote part of Central Asia it might form an easier image of what it's like there.

Still, it's also a stunningly beautiful part of the U.S.
my wife used to joke all the time that one day I would end up coming home and when I came into the house she would say 'but..where is our daughter?' and it would turn out I forgot her on the train. Lucky enough never happened. Frankly her mind isn't too focused either.
In reading the Medium blog post (https://medium.com/startup-foundation-stories/about-my-11-ye...) from 2016, I am curious as to why he scraped the design he had hired a firm for and went back to this design. His reasoning in that blog post is that it was buggy and "didn't look like a product that had been worked on for so long". The screenshots from that blog post show a much more polished product (at least to me) than this revision so I am just curious the reasoning behind the change.
I usually try leave work-time flexible in contracts. Would be cool to have "up to X hours/week" as availability option.
I want to make it clear that I'm not specifically targeting you for this comment, it's more of a meta comment on the whole subject we're discussing.

I find it interesting how people tend to get stuck to the current forms of technology and then become outraged when anyone dares challenge it. Who needs Windows, I boot straight to DOS. Windows N sucks, I'm going to stick with Windows N-1. Blackberry phones are useless and pretentious, I'm going to stick with Nextel. The iPhone is stupid, I need a physical keyboard. Bluetooth is awful, I need my headphone jack. The iPod is worse than a Nomad. The iPad is just a big iPhone. And now, apparently, voice control sucks, I'm happy with my on-screen keyboard.

And as history shows us in nearly every one of those cases, us tech guys are typically the worst judge of how well a new technology will fare in the market and what consumers actually want.

I don't have children, but my concern for children makes me not want to be in any position of responsibility for them.

I've considered becoming a teacher before, and one of the reasons that I didn't was that I just didn't want to be responsibility for the welfare of children. If something ever happened while they were under my care, I'd feel horrible if something happened, even if it wasn't my fault. Not to mention the liability in the eyes of parents, who can be less than reasonable when it comes to their children.

I've also refused to take care of children of friends and family, for similar reasons.

Finally, I've decided not to ever have children of my own, once again partly because I just don't want the responsibility, and partially out of a concern that I'd probably just screw it up somehow. Not to mention that the world is way overpopulated as it is, and it doesn't need me adding yet another person to the mix.
This might be interesting, but without any more context nobody has any clue what it is about.

Building a bullshit detector is easy. Building one with a low false positive rate is hard. A low false positive rate is also extremely important because in many fields truly novel research findings are often dismissed and it takes a generation for them to become accepted. See for example quasicrystals. Given how hard making new discoveries is, and the fact that the peer review process is already stacked against new discoveries (as opposed to follow ons), I don't think this is a good idea for many fields. On the other hand, if you know an experimental methodology is flawed, then you can pretty much throw out all that research since the scientist didn't do the right experiment or they didn't do it with enough power (social sciences I"m looking at you).
Rather than a car feature, what about one of those sensors that alert you if the object is too far? And force the user to explicitly acknowledge that it's intentional (for when you leave them with someone else).
this is the difference between basic and applied research - Musk is doing great work in the applied research space. taking proven models and bringing them to market, bringing down costs, etc.

anti-aging research is still in the basic phase - it might be decades before techniques can be applied with any sort of scale. in that sense you really do need huge institutions (or in this case, billionaires) to fund it all. retail investors like you (assuming) and I really can't get involved at the scale or timelines these sorts of ventures require.

That makes sense, it's inexpensive. Depending on where the rest of the family lives, it is closer but it's probably 4 hours to the front range, possibly a lot more in the winter. Was this before school age for you? I've heard interesting stories about some of the mountain schools, Saguache might even bus kids to a neighboring county, I don't know. did you live there for fairly long stretches or did you travel with your folks? Any stories about "the locals?" I assume it's mountain ranch country so the neighbors probably have a good dose of "I don't want anyone messing with me" mixed with the neighborly that ranchers tend to be and they'd help each other out.

I live in the Boulder/Denver area. Last summer we stayed in Cimmeron for half a week and then went to Lake City on our way home. I want to say the paved roads were about 100miles and 2 hours between the two, there was also a 50mile unpaved road that took about 10-12 hours and it was amazing. No cell coverage that I can recall, there were a few times where it hits you, if I broke my 4Runner, we are stuck here probably for days and it could be a real situation. If you love the outdoors and you look at it as an adventure, the place could be a fun place to have a cabin. If you live there all the time and want to be "normal" i can't imagine how it would be. Colorado is fascinating, the front range is like many small urban areas in the country, an hour away and it's like a different country in ways.

Yes, I've read it. Just because you didn't mean to do it doesn't mean it's not a crime. That's why it's called manslaughter and not murder, and that's why it carries a lower penalty.
