Reading this my eye was caught by the name Gelernter. Wait, wasn't that the guy who... no, it was his father, Herbert[1], who

His son David, who would have been 3yo at the time McCarthy wrote this paper, has had his own effect on computer science[2].

Does the fact that it's not their core contradict what I'm saying?

I'd say "yes." The PROs don't have as much leverage over YouTube as they do over music sites. YT can tell the industry, "fine, we'll just continue the way we've been going and you'll get nothing." Google has scads more money and lawyers than the record industry; Google makes the entire record industry's annual revenue every two months. UMG ain't shutting them down.

You'll notice that Google Play Music is not the same situation as YT, and is more like Spotify et al. The issue with pure audio streaming is that the music is a primary use of the service, so it's easier for the PROs to beat them down, legally. GPM could be prevented from operating just as other subscription streamers have been (threatened).

Put another way, YT still has a bazillion unlicensed items and the licensed streaming services have none. UGC audio sites are somewhere in the middle, but my contention is that they would have to let the PROs crawl up their buttholes just to unlock the doors every morning in order to settle the business model.

I think the insight here may be that ram should be optimized for sequential access, just like the disks of old.
Basically this. The article makes it sound like "optimizing half the program" means "optimizing half of the codebase", not "optimizing a part of the codebase that consumes 50% of the execution time."

This quote is especially misleading:

> Amdahl’s Law is telling us that to significantly improve the speed of a system, we’ll have to improve a very large fraction of it.

No, it's telling us we'll have to improve the part of it which is responsible for a very large fraction of the execution time. Often this is only a tiny amount of the overall codebase.

55 yo and have run close to daily for 45 of them with minimal injuries. I land on my forefoot and then put the heel down softly, the shoe makes little difference other than an overly high heel prohibits that movement.
From the article:

"The first thing I’d say is, you’re probably not doing it right. Most people dislike running because they have memories of things like running for a bus. That kind of running is usually deeply unpleasant, almost vomit-inducing. Most beginners give up when they get injured because they’ve done too much, too soon. Most of the benefits from running derive from going very slowly."

I find this premise to be correct - and can get people who say "I could never run X miles" to do so, enjoyable sometimes, just by slowing down their pace.

However, even as someone who is a running apparel ambassador who runs up to 80 miles per week, races multiple marathons and ultramarathons a year - I have a family, a full-time job, and occasional freelance work!

So even I would love to go on 2-4 hour mountain trail runs daily, it is hard to find the time to do this. Hell, I have a treadmill in my garage to sneak in shorter runs and still be home around my family.

And I'm more than happy to spread the gospel of long, slow distance running - as it is meditative, mood stabilizing, and underpins aerobic development and fat burning.

But I am willing to suggest all sorts of activity: hiking, soccer, basketball, 5K run training, cycling, mountain biking, marathon training, track workouts, climbing, long urban walks, tennis, weight training with treadmill jogging for warmups and cool down, boxing workouts, etc. I do think the premise that it's wrong to treat running as a sport is flawed - I think we can treat it as a sport, or not treat it as a sport. Or both! That depends on the individual.

If it gets you moving and your heart rate elevated into those aerobic ranges, do what works for you. Running barefeet in nature for hours at a time for the simple sake of running is great - but doing something that fits into your interests, geography, and time schedule can provide a great, long-term balance to the modern life.
Well, if the mechanism was smart enough to flag naive Cantor/Frege set theory as contradictory by formulating Russell's Paradox, the thing would be pretty smart indeed. Naturally, you know Russell's Paradox only applies in that naive case rather than Zermelo-Fraenkel or Von Neumann–Bernays–Gödel theory.

However, I'd imagine the mechanism as having more modest goals - flagging the kind of language that's used to shore up papers with little logical basis, notice when hypotheses aren't used for conclusion or when conclusions are hypotheses, that sort of thing.
Pretty good open-hardware TRNGs out there, such as OneRNG. I'd probably attach it and let it mix the rng pool, but not draw from it directly.
It's totally OK to call someone out for talking about people with mental illness like they were rats or cockroaches. I don't care what happens to sewer rats.

I recognize that my own inconvenience or displeasure pales in significance to the human suffering I am witnessing.

I read 'Born To Run', went out and bought a pair of vibrams, then did a nice jog around a lake, maybe 4-5km. I was running barefoot style, landing more towards my toes and I felt fantastic.

The next morning I discovered that apparently, this was the first time I'd ever really used my calves before. I walked like an old man for three days, trying my best not to cry during my stretches.

Over time, I got better and took it slow, and I still swear by thin-soled shoes, but I'd advise anyone interested: take it slow at first!

Mmm, maybe. I'm certainly not immune to being fooled. I am careful, however. I roll over and check any link in an email before I click it, and I know when I am or am not authenticated into one of my google accounts. It's all too easy, though, to make a mistake like this when you're in a hurry or don't give something enough thought. The email was very good but after reading it a couple of times the language strikes me as not _quite_ right, especially the "unless you fix it" part at the end. Perhaps the key insight is that you have to assume going in that any email you get like this is fake, and then prove otherwise.
The 535s are overkill unless you have crazy great ears, media, dac, and amp. I rolled with a pair of 530s, eventually replaced with 535s via warranty. When I ran those through a washing machine they were replaced with 215s, and honestly I cant tell the difference. I strongly suspect even the 115s are sufficient for the majority of folks.
it would be a terrible oversight to put that thing on the internet, either public or private.

"The human brain, [David Diamond] says, is a magnificent but jury-rigged device in which newer and more sophisticated structures sit atop a junk heap of prototype brains still used by lower species. At the top of the device are the smartest and most nimble parts: the prefrontal cortex, which thinks and analyzes, and the hippocampus, which makes and holds on to our immediate memories. At the bottom is the basal ganglia, nearly identical to the brains of lizards, controlling voluntary but barely conscious actions."

That is a pretty decent description of the lump of goo in the human skull. Weird that many people attribute very impressive superpowers to it.
I agree that Musk and other proponents of transportation innovation could do more to support the efforts of their municipalities by promoting walking, biking, buses, etc, but that seems like a poor argument against pursuing innovative concepts.

Musk's propositions should and will coincide with years of statistical analysis before actual implementation to prevent exactly what you're talking about. Hyperloop could be to the detriment of a lot of cities, but that doesn't mean there aren't implementations that can improve transportation time, congestion, and quality of life. The attitude that pursuing futuristic transportation technologies will hinder ALL cities seems detrimental to human progress. What brought about our "proven" public transit systems, like subways, to begin with?

Developing Hyperloop or the Boring Company doesn't need to mean replacing current infrastructure or stopping municipal efforts. It means we could put our brightest engineers towards some of humanity's most annoying problems (https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB913090787638355000), forcing them to pay attention to municipal data along the way. If analysis indicates that tunnels would be detrimental to New York, then by all means, let's not build tunnels in New York. But if other analysis indicates that Los Angeles, a city incredibly dependent on cars for transportation (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/nobody-walks-in-la-the...), might actually benefit from such an idea, we should pursue it.

Don't be so quick to reject an idea before proper analysis has been done to understand the impact. It's the innovative ideas that end up actually improving humanity, and believe it or not, a lot of the things we consider to mundane today, sewers, subways, roads, skyscrapers, were at one time innovative and new.

Comparing Hyperloop to Concorde and it's eventual demise does seem valid at a cursory level. What's key to understand is that Concorde's failure can mostly be attributed to a combination of design, safety and maintenance factors (sonic boom being the foremost). In addition, what plagued the Concorde was the upkeep and maintenance of the aircrafts, and of course the spiraling fuel costs. Are there such equivalents in the Hyperloop world. If so, can they be resolved.
A similar attack happened on another Chrome extension last month (Social Fixer) with over 190k installs.

In fact, judging by the exploit code, I would guess the same author, as the Social Fixer attack had a very similar hashed package on Unpkg as well.

In that scenario the author also didn't have 2FA enabled:

I feel like Google should take the next step of requiring all extension developers to enable 2FA before being able to post an extension.

Avast Cleanup Crack 2017 Activation Code Is Here [Latest]
For anyone worried about SIDS I'd suggest looking into [1][2]. The counterarguments summed up in [3] seem rather weak to me. If the claim is true that in 10 years no parent following Sprott's method have had a case of SIDS (which no-one seemed to follow up on, even though the study seems quite solid to me), then the counter would have to explain why one should wait instead of just adopting that method. It seems a similar story to Beri-Beri in the Japanese Navy pre-WW2 - one doctor just went and found a cure in the field and everyone else just ignored it because his methods were not proven in a clinical study and because the cure required a change of traditional warrior behaviour.

From the article:

"In 2000, Chris Edwards, Terry Mack and Edward Modlin began to work on just such a product after one of their colleagues, Kevin Shelton, accidentally left his 9-month-old son to die in the parking lot of NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. The inventors patented a device with weight sensors and a keychain alarm. Based on aerospace technology, it was easy to use; it was relatively cheap, and it worked.

"Janette Fennell had high hopes for this product: The dramatic narrative behind it, she felt, and the fact that it came from NASA, created a likelihood of widespread publicity and public acceptance.

"That was five years ago. The device still isn't on the shelves. The inventors could not find a commercial partner willing to manufacture it. One big problem was liability. If you made it, you could face enormous lawsuits if it malfunctioned and a child died. But another big problem was psychological: Marketing studies suggested it wouldn't sell well.

"The problem is this simple: People think this could never happen to them."

I agree: my attitude towards the Thiel/Hogan/Gawker fiasco was, as someone else put it, first they came for Gawker, and I said nothing, because fuck Gawker.

But what's your point? The Gawker fiasco absolutely did spook other media outlets and has made them nervous about publishing negative stories about other media figures. That's what WaPo is observing here.

This is a flimsy comparison
US doesn't need to block anything because many Internet companies' headquarters (domain name registrars, SSL certificate providers, cloud providers, OS developers, messengers, search engines, video publishing platforms) are located in USA and therefore are the subject of US laws.

For example, US doesn't have to block access to online casinos - they just order the banks and financial institutions not to work with such sites.

But Russia doesn't have such authority over Facebook or Skype. It cannot issue a NSL to Google for example. Therefore they are looking for other methods of controlling those companies (such as laws requiring to keep russian users' data in Russia).

China blocks many foreign web services and as a result they have their national messengers, search engine, social networks that will comply with national laws.

I do not approve Russian or China (especially China) policies, I just want to notice that Internet being an international medium without borders and customs creates new problems for applying national legislation (like taxation or spreading information violationg the laws).
I heard of a study recently that showed that cities in Japan that ended up getting Shinkansen stations ended up almost always shrinking, because people got used to going to Tokyo all the time and ended up just moving there.

This is so counter intuitive. This is the exact opposite of suburbia. Faster and cheaper transport led to the growth of suburbs. Can the movement of people to Tokyo be attributed just to the faster trains ? Can you please share a link to the study if you have it handy.

>I've been on the lookout for good places to run entirely barefoot as well, but I'm not as daring as some.

If you're fortunate to live near a good beach, I've found the hard packed sand along the water's edge to be the practical ideal surface for barefoot running. It's best if the beach isn't too sloped, and of course you have to mind the shells and other debris. Moonlit beach runs have become a highlight for me on coastal vacations. :)

> ...causing property values to rise in the "less expensive area" to match those in the urban center minus the cost of transport.

This is a valid concern made invalid by the speed of the Hyperloop. If we estimate very conservatively that the Hyperloop can cut the average commute time 4x, then the radius that a city worker can live increases 4x. However, while the radius increases 4x, the area increases 16x (A=pi*r^2: area increases exponentially as a function of r). Thus, the rise in property values in surrounding areas would be distributed over a large area so as not to make life unsustainable for those already there.
You can't draw any useful conclusions from that. It is only depicting vertical force. Pushing up, not pushing off.

Pushing off refers to forwards, longitudinal force. Walking and running are commonly modeled by inverted pendulums, and the best time to increase the energy of the pendulum is at the extreme of the range of motion. The middle of the swing is the worst time to add energy to the system.

Or think of it physiologically. If you are adding energy mid-stride, the gluteus maximus is responsible for producing all forwards force. (Which might be a fair assessment, humans's are unusually large for mammals.) Adding energy at the end of the stride allow the gastrocnemius to provide thrust as well.

Not to change the subject, but you know what really grinds my gears? The other day I took my wife out to dinner. We were enjoying a rare care-free night out, and then they sat this family at an adjacent table. The kids were well-behaved, but the youngest child--ugh. She had no hair, a hospital bracelet on her wrist, and bandages on her arms. We couldn't finish our dinner. Our evening was ruined. How are we supposed to enjoy ourselves while this child's pain is flaunted in front of our faces. I was so pissed off.

The problem with asking a programmer to keep track of the locality of their data, is that most modern programming languages make reasoning about locality hard to do. With the exception of C and C++. Even for those languages, unless all relevant data is in simple arrays, making assertions about locality is hard.

For interpreted languages like Python or Javascript, figuring out RAM storage and access patterns of data is very hard. So we probably need programming language mechanisms to help with understanding the locality patterns of our programs and probably tooling to help change it.
