Maybe make a linkedin, since that has nothing to do with your age, just so you have an answer that doesn't alienate you, and people might ignore your age for longer.

> Under savagery I'd be living mostly outside, shivering, wondering if I could get enough food to live through the winter

A long time ago I saw a television documentary about a tribe of nomads living on the steppe in western Mongolia. They were supposedly distant descendants of the ancient Scythians, and living very much the same lifestyle their ancestors had for centuries -- a small tight-knit community, growing up on horseback, being highly skilled at archery, and so on.

During one particularly bad winter the tribe entered a Mongolian city at the edge of the steppe to seek shelter, and they never left. The filmmakers found the old women of the tribe working in an office building, sitting in cubicles and typing on computers. The only connection they had to the old ways was a horse archery show and competition they held in the streets of the city. The filmmakers asked the old women why the tribe had done this. Didn't they miss their traditional way of life?

They told him, of course we miss some aspects of our old life, and the freedom of living on the steppe, but what we don't miss is being cold and hungry all the time.
GP's example of 5 years is a very short timeframe, however. A big part of achieving financial independence is compound interest returns on investments in low-fee index funds.

Try a quick spreadsheet for yourself. You can assume 5-6 % real returns. Play around with savings rates, GP suggested over 80%, which is more agressive than I've ever heard. Try 60%, which would leave you with 60k disposable, and you'll see things go up very fast in the 10-15 year range.

In fact, MMM shows that it actually all reduces to a really simple calculation, and with that 60 % savings rate, you're 12.5 years away from retirement (if you start at 0 net worth).

I saw an article earlier today about how hard it’s going to be to rebuild the electric grid (effectively REPLACE it because it’s 80% gone) that said that for at least a while the airport didn’t have radar and flights had to be confirmed for landing before they could even take off which was adding a massive delay to any attempt to get to the island.
"Perhaps a law of evolution is that intelligence usually extinguishes itself. This admittedly dour scenario is based on what can be termed the juggernaut theory of human nature, which holds that people are programmed by their genetic heritage to be so selfish that a sense of global responsibility will come too late. Individuals place themselves first, family second, tribe third and the rest of the world a distant fourth."

US 'fake news' kingpin Paul Horner found dead at 38
I looked at DNSCurve, I wasn’t really happy with the complexity of implementing it. I got so far as understanding the protocol, even found a bug in the docs. If someone else wanted to look at this, I’d gladly work with them to implement it.

Personally, I’m much more interested in DNS over TLS, b/c I can leverage existing (already have!) TLS implementations.

Edit: I’d also debate the usefulness of DNSSec without curve. Curve and and DNS over TLS provide privacy with the Resolver/Authority, while DNSSec still independently can verify the authenticity of the RRSET. It still provides a good service in that context.

You said, and I quote:

That is a statement I would reject without seeing very strong evidence, and I don't know that we can have strong evidence of the sources of meat in Paleolithic diets on a holistic basis. Furthermore, cannibalism is one of the most widespread taboos among diverse cultures, and thus labeling your enemies as cannibals was a good way to delegitimize their claims independent of the veracity of those claims.
>That is incredibly arrogant and so far wrong it's not even close to the truth.

This seems like fact to me. The whole point about McDonalds is that they have perfected their processes so well that there is very little difference in quality and output between someone who has spent 20 years making hamburgers and someone who has been there a month.

If someone is capable of being a dentist, they can likely make hamburgers. The reverse is probably not true - some portion of the people making hamburgers likely don't have what it takes to make it through dental school.

> Instead, the phone pulls power from its environment - either from ambient radio signals harvested by an antenna, or ambient light collected by a solar cell the size of a grain of rice. The device consumes just 3.5 microwatts of power during use.

Jared Diamond is considered in the anthropological field as about as knowledgeable on anthropology as Donald Trump is on economic and foreign policy.

It's also worth pointing out that modern hunter-gatherer societies are not Paleolithic hunter-gatherer societies. Those that remain today generally do so in part because the land they travel is too marginal for intensive agriculture, for example.

Sorry about the source URL, but it is actually a good article. I live in the mountains of Maine. We don't have enough words for snow. We do have lots of phrases to describe the many different types of snow, however.

And there are lots of types of snow, both as it is falling, how it is as it lands, and how it reacts after the storm. I love the stuff and can probably come up with accurate descriptive phrases for hours.
Perhaps you didn't read to the end where they discussed how the bushmen got past the level of Chimps:

>>. A key to that lost or forsworn ability, Suzman suggests, lies in the ferocious egalitarianism of hunter-gatherers. For example, the most valuable thing a hunter can do is come back with meat. Unlike gathered plants, whose proceeds are “not subject to any strict conventions on sharing,” hunted meat is very carefully distributed according to protocol, and the people who eat the meat that is given to them go to great trouble to be rude about it. This ritual is called “insulting the meat,” and it is designed to make sure the hunter doesn’t get above himself and start thinking that he’s better than anyone else. “When a young man kills much meat,” a Bushman told the anthropologist Richard B. Lee, “he comes to think of himself as a chief or a big man, and he thinks of the rest of us as his servants or inferiors. . . . We can’t accept this.” The insults are designed to “cool his heart and make him gentle.” For these hunter-gatherers, Suzman writes, “the sum of individual self-interest and the jealousy that policed it was a fiercely egalitarian society where profitable exchange, hierarchy, and significant material inequality were not tolerated.”

But how close do you have to get to use that 3D capability? And is its resolution as good or better than what Apple is using?

I mean sure you can knock someone out and use a handheld 3D scanner to get a whole bunch of good shots of them but that’s hardly someone walking down the street and you getting a quick grab of their face.

My point isn’t that it’s impossible it’s that it’s not feasible for any normal person or group without a large and noticeable undertaking. These are not reasonable threat models for normal people.

Is there a better word for "here's a reason that things work differently in USA than in the rest of the world, that totally legitimizes our habit of ignoring any lessons we could learn from them"? I mean, when I imagine Trump saying it, it really sounds like, "exceptionalism".

This whole size thing is a silly exercise in magical thinking anyway. Money is divisible, across all relevant scales. Pick any random nation, and its economy is larger than USA's was, some number of years ago. Would you say that we weren't exceptional back then, but we are now? When did that transition occur? What happens if some other nation's economy grows to our economy's current size, sometime in future? Will we no longer be exceptional?

Laptops (and phones) use the mac addresses of nearby wifi networks to approximate location (especially inside buildings where GPS signal is low.)

Though it requires an internet connection an online database to actually compute the location. So, probably not as useful for a camera.

The prices are also on the same order of magnitude here in Japan, which is another country typically seen as high-cost. (the number a quick Google turned up was $35 for a panorama x-ray, before insurance)

The government health-insurance scheme also covers 70% of the costs of covered dental work and within this system the costs that dentists can charge are regulated (which in some cases leads to perverse incentives where dentists split up procedures like cleanings so they can bill the insurance for two procedures instead of one)

I can tell you that the grid is more physically uniform than perceptually uniform.

If they're Munsell colors, as the article suggests, they should be close to perceptually uniform. The Munsell system was specifically designed around perceptible color differences: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munsell_color_system

It's pretty old, so it predates any of the modern standardized color systems you'd typically use in software today.
Simple. Make a setting that defaults to "no, don't share the exif location data with 3rd party apps" but can be changed to "yes, do that" if you want to.

Even if the "something must be done! this is something!" school of security design was valid, DNSSEC would still be terrifying.

The DNS is a tree-structured PKI the tops of which are controlled explicitly and de jure by world governments, and, unlike the X.509 CAs, Google can't administer a death penalty to .COM.
I'm very interested in this field! But I didn't stop at 30,000 characters - I'm making a dataset of 75,000 characters from 1500 different fonts. Does anyone want me to publish it?

I use Apple's Chinese handwriting keyboard almost every day, living in Taiwan. Unfortunately it only shows 4 possible choices, and often the character I need is not one of those. So I use my own Pingtype keyboard.

Enter a character into the bottom text field, click Search, and see the character decomposition above, and the characters & words containing that character below. Then when you're ready, click Insert to add it to the text field at the top for translation.

> What you're talking about is parallelisation, moving to GPU, and modern (combinatorial) methods for sparse systems, and that's fairly cutting edge, and not trivial to implement/port.

Honestly, it might be tricky, but implementing matrix operations is not rocket science either. I find it incredible that so many projects rely on NVidia's proprietary libraries for doing this on GPU. Maybe there is some secret juice that I just don't know about, but it seems to me there can't be that many optimisation shortcuts for matrix multiplications and the like that require intimate, secret knowledge of the hardware.
Firefox Test Pilot: Conducting User Interviews to Understand Multiple Notes
Pink/magenta comes from stimulating S (blue) and L (red) receptors simultaneously while not stimulating M (green). It's actually rather unique in that respect. It's the "glue" your brain uses to paste the red and blue ends of the spectrum together, because the visible electromagnetic spectrum has two edges (blue and red, high and low frequency respectively) while the perception of hue does not (see: color wheel). The only color you won't find on a rainbow, so to speak.

If you say "I can make magenta by mixing white and red light," I'll come back and say "OK, what do you call the color you get when you subsequently filter out green?"

I've spent hours of effort making sure Facebook Apps on my phone never have access to my location. It's something I'm particularly crept out with regard to Facebook specifically.

If so, what are they chances they are collecting all that exif and uploading it? I'd be genuinely pissed. And if such a practice came to public eyes, wouldn't that bring up enough of an uproar to cause fb some serious harm?
