This interview (link below) gives some interesting insight into his work and motivations. It’s in Russian, but Google Translate does a pretty good job with it.

Among many other things, he describes some unusual experiences in 2006–7 that clearly had a powerful impact on his thinking:

[Translation by Google]
“I had in a few months acquired a very considerable experience of visions, voices, periods when parts of my body did not obey me and a lot of incredible accidents. The most intense period was in mid-April 2007 when I spent 9 days (7 of them in the Mormon capital of Salt Lake City), never falling asleep for all these days.

Almost from the very beginning, I found that many of these phenomena (voices, visions, various sensory hallucinations), I can control. So I was not scared and did not feel sick, but perceived everything as something very interesting, actively trying to interact with those "creatures" in the auditorial, visual and then tactile spaces that appeared (themselves or by call) around me. I must say, probably, to avoid possible speculations on this topic, that I did not use any drugs during this period, tried to eat and sleep a lot, and drank diluted white wine.”
I've had one front page (#8!) to my WP powered blog, one time. It was a huge increase in my otherwise very small traffic. Big numbers (for me). Over the 24 h period it was over 50k page views.

I run this blog on two Linode 1G offerings. One host for MySQL and one for Apache/PHP.

Neither server noticed, I didn't even get a CPU or network load notification from Linode.

So, from my experience, it was a big view-metric spike but resources and response times held in place from a simple, cheap, two-server setup.
> The cop was nice

The man was looking to imprison you over a ridiculous perversion of a law that no reasonable person would ever conclude they were violating. I don't care about the B.S. legalese justification for it, if a law is that morally repugnant then the man enforcing it bears some of the responsibility.
None of this was political until the mayor turned around and said to the US/USG "We are dying and you are killing us". Pointing out that she and local authorities were responsible for coordinating on-the-ground infrastructure is perfectly fair game.
Amazon has been looking into healthcare space for awhile, including pharmacy benefit manager. The trouble is, healthcare space is extremely regulated and entry barrier is very high. It takes inordinate amount of industry knowledge to get your foot in the door and the only realistic way to enter is through acquisitions

Even then, Amazon is completely dwarfed compared to all the players in the sector; pharma, hospital systems, chain pharmacies, indie pharmacies, long term care facilities, drug distributors, health insurance, TPAs, PSAOs, medical instrument makers, DME makers, all with their own agendas.

Regarding the pharmacy missing drug interaction problem cited in the article. It isn't due to lack of sophisticated system or lack of data. Far from it. Healthcare entities sit on colossal amount of data. The issue is fragmentation and lack of centralized mechanism that prevents effective communication and sharing of data. That's a regulatory and policy problems, not innovation problem.

Believe me, I want this problem fixed too, but Amazon isn't going to be the one to solve it.

The poorest citizens certainly don't own the most extravagant of all luxury items, homes near (decent) transit.

A metro's most car-dependent are its working poor, who need to live the furthest away from the downtown core to afford housing.
> If it would work, and the cost benefit ratio were there, people would adopt it quickly. That's what happens with just about everything else.

Great point! Just like:

* Betamax
* HD DVD
* Minidisc
* Hoverboards
* IPV6
* DNSSEC
* PGP & PKI
* Linux desktops
* Dvorak keyboards
* The metric system
* Decimal time
* [flavour-of-the-month programming language]
* [flavour-of-the-month database]
* [flavour-of-the-month cypher]
* ...

The factors that influence the proliferation of a technology are wildly divergent from the criteria 'works well, cost/benefit'. I'm not even sure those are weakly correlated proxy indicators of technology uptake.

For citizenship, yes. They're saying that not knowing English makes it harder to work in the US:

- Puerto Ricans are US citizens

- So as long as they know English then [working in the U.S. is] relatively easy.

Hmm. Don't care too much about SV fashion, but as a loafer enthusiast, having machine washable, sockless, general-purpose shoes sounds very cool.

A bit dubious about their durability, however - the article mentions that the first generation wore out quickly, and the images on their site seem limited to users on manmade surfaces or relatively flat ground.

Does anyone know how they hold up under more intensive use (biking, hiking, scrambling)?
If it is any consolation, I knew what you meant. Otherwise, you'd probably have said something like glide and the glide ratio of the big planes isn't very good.

Out of curiosity, I just checked for the A380 and the best guess is 15:1, so it does glide better than I expected, but still not that far.

Google tells me that it'd glide ~130 miles if it had a starting altitude of 45,000'. That's better than I expected.
Databases, and dynamic content in general, can be done with/on IPFS.

Take look at OrbitDB (https://github.com/orbitdb/orbit-db) - "Distributed peer-to-peer database for the decentralized web" or their blog post "Decentralized Real-Time Collaborative Documents - Conflict-free editing in the browser using js-ipfs and CRDTs" (https://blog.ipfs.io/30-js-ipfs-crdts.md).

And all that works in the browser without running a local IPFS in the background. That's pretty amazing imo.
Ketamine is available in the US as well, but insurance won't cover off label use so the treatments tend to be quite expensive.

Postgres has toxic fanboys. Instead of going for closed source competition like Oracle, DB2, MSSQL where Postgres is a valuable competitor, these really stupid fanboys go for friendly open source databases. Unfortunately toxic Postgres fanboys do this for 15+ years. How about try to convert the "hard part" (enterprise), not the friendly minded ones.

In Germany they are both common and work rather well. There's the occasional motorist who doesn't want pedestrians to have the right of way, but too have that with other things as well (making a turn, coming out of a roundabout). Overall however in this regard the rules of the road are observed well (now, speed limits, acknowledging cyclists, and overtaking on the right are different stories, of course).

I guess they use really, really precise timing and explosives to knock one blade loose in order to do the containment tests. They want it to come loose at a specific point in the revolution.

The documentary didn't say why they wanted it to be at such a specific place, only that they did. I've long since forgotten the margin of error, but it was very small.

You probably noticed that the individual blade is painted a different color and is different colors. My recollection is that they use the multiple colors because they do very high definition recording and the colors are all in different areas of the spectrum, so they can observe it better as the thing tends to be quickly obscured by fire and smoke.

I probably do watch too many documentaries.

I think it was a poor word choice, but it makes sense. I believe, when parent said depression is narcissistic, he meant that it causes you to ruminate on your own self worth constantly. Narcissism is typically associated with self aggrandizing, but ultimately what's going on is that the part of your brain that controls your self narrative is overactive. That can just as easily manifest as obsessive worry over your perceived failings and inadequacies.
Is anyone in the western world that's not leaning conservative looking to dismantle their healthcare system? Australia and the UK are, but from what I know ow the been infected by the US's ideology of thinking that private corporations can do no wrong by definitjon.

Exactly.

What really helps are speed bumps.
> opendime [...] it's new

So everyone pays tithe to a single organization that creates 'trustable' units of physical currency. So new!

At least with cash you're not destroying the physical currency every time you use it. (That and the Mint's security measures are just a liittle more advanced than "we put some epoxy on a USB stick")
Nothing could be further from the truth. It's why in developed societies capital (and most forms of wealth) tends to accumulate in the hands of the few over time.

A "reset" society would have, at the very minimum, something like a 90% inheritance tax and much much higher capital gains tax, as well as provisions on land value tax so high value scarce land cannot be hoarded as well.

I'm honestly not sure how one can look at the countries who are doing well right now and say what you said. It's like opposite land.
Hey an open letter. Instant credibility and gravitas.

Really all communication should be open letters, so much more would be taken seriously, and so much more stuff done.
Actually, it's pretty simple.

"Better" has to actually "be better ENOUGH" to warrant all of the retooling of existing systems. I've got plenty of clients who would happily run Windows 2003 ("it's paid for") if it weren't for changing standards that aren't compatible (newer TLS, Exchange, etc) and security breaches. They only upgrade because they have to. "E-mail is e-mail" to them.

But if you sell them some magical new technology that promises to meet new features, like tons of data analysis tools and easily graphs and charts in a new version of CRM, they'll happily upgrade.

Uber is still fingerprinting your iPhone
I'm pretty sure that the Uber App is still fingerprinting your iPhone.

I have an iPhone 7 Plus and recently moved cities. Which means that I had to get a new phone number (my old number was really old and I didn't want to port it to the new circle - kind of start a new life).

So, I deleted the Uber App, installed the new SIM card and installed the Uber app back again.

However, it definitely seems that Uber is still fingerprinting my iPhone and not letting me sign up with a new phone number. After signing up, it blocked my new number.

So, I tried again - tried with a new phone number. Deleted the Uber app, installed it back again, and Uber blocked that again instantaneously.

Is it legal to fingerprint iPhones after the app is deleted and installed back. I know that UUID is now legacy, and that there was a ruckus a few months back that Apple threatened to remove the Uber App if it continues to fingerprint.

I wrote to the Uber Support, but as usual, disclosing anything and helping out is against their policies.

Can any Uber and Apple engineer here throw light on this matter?
A distributed web (including proper mesh networks) has the potential of changing the status quo from constantly worrying about data limits and "I don't have any wifi" to "normal" people having constant "internet" access everywhere they go.

I think they don't care much about the underlying technology, but they will notice when some apps work faster and without a mobile data connection when others don't.

According to this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gliding_flight#Aircraft_.28.22...

The 747-200 also has a glide ratio of 15:1. I can't tell if that's amazing, good, or average.

A sailplane can have up to 60:1! That's pretty impressive!

According to this: A "clean A320" has 17:1. Neat.

Something I never knew was this:

>As someone said above, you have to remember, pretty well all descents are done with the thrust at idle.

So I imagine the glide ratio is pretty important for all-purposes of flight and not just when engines go out.
>And the vacuum tubes in my Colossus might overheat at that rate too! -- Damn, you're right, we're just not smart enough to solve those problems.

I was merely pointing out that it's not correct to call something interplanetary if it's not. It's mostly false advertising.

During grad school I had to spend a year at IAS, because my advisor was there on sabbatical.

The Institute is not very grad-student-friendly (by design): there are a lot of cultural and bureaucratic hurdles a student might find there, such as refusing any affiliation, both for visa and academic purposes, not offering proper office place, and a certain aloofness of the faculty.

My experience was a bit better than the norm at the then-new School for System Biology, but I have a lot of great memories of discussion with Voevodsky over lunch. He had found in me and another grad student from the same group two people interested in the use of computers in science, and he didn't care that we completely out of our depth discussing the foundations of mathematics. We were both just very interested in how computers were transforming science, and he kept telling us that the same revolution was going to happens for mathematics as well, despite the resistance of some of his colleagues.

These discussions sparked an interest I still have for proof verification, automatic theorem proving, and type systems.

Here's to hoping his legacy lives on and that the revolution he helped start brings on a new era in mathematics.

While defining 'political' might be too difficult, isn't detecting 'noise' on a comment-level quite a bit easier?

There are still many comments that, even when they often end up 'dead', spawn entire pointless discussions or just clutter up the rest of the discussion in the time that they're up. Quite possibly they affect the general conversation in ways that are difficult to measure.

The thing is that many of these comments appear to me as either immediately and obviously noise, or obviously so after a cursory check of the poster's comment history. In fact, I'm very often surprised that you or your colleague(s) leave a "don't do this here" message, when after clicking through to the commenter it's obvious that they're probably going to keep doing this until they're banned (and trivially create a new account).

I'm wondering if perhaps a stricter zero-tolerance to low-quality posts, or at least repeat offenders, might not be necessary to offset the inevitable growth of 'noisy' accounts.

I'm very impressed with the moderation here, to be clear, so I'm sure that it's more difficult than I think it is, or that I'm missing something. But I guess I'm just how often I come across an active, unbanned account that clearly hasn't been commenting in good faith for quite a while. Considering how little these accounts are 'worth' (as in, if there's any association with the username, it's negative, and karma is low), and how cheaply new ones can be create, a slightly swifter 'banhammer' might not do much harm?
I've been wondering that too. There isn't much allure to it beyond "our hosting/CDN will be cheaper if we let the customers pay for it". If anything it weakens privacy a little, since any mean-spirited gremlin gets to snoop on who visits and hosts what.

It is kind of nest how they have progressed, as well. It is sometimes little things that make a big difference. It iterative process, I suppose.

Rolls Royce prides themselves on hiring interns. The little cone piece in front of the jet engine had issues with icing up. This had plagued jet engines for years.

They tried all sorts of ways to fix it, including complex methods of supplying heat.

One of their interns just happened to hear about this problem and suggested they simply make it out of rubber. Sure enough, it worked and the problem with that pointy bit freezing was solved.

I'm sure it has a formal name and that it is probably not pointy bit or little cone piece. I don't actually know anything about jet engines, I just watched a documentary about Rolls Royce's jet manufacturing.

Anyhow, that wasn't something that could probably have been designed with first principles. Someone, pretty much in passing, pretty much had to have that creative spark at just the right time and with just the right information.

It's things like that story that make me think humans are going to be in the loop for a long time still and that AI taking over the world is still a long ways away.
> The availability depends on the number of peers like BitTorrent? If so, and if no seed is available, how does one access the content, esp in the context of an intranet?

There's a concept called pinning which keeps files available in a local share. You can pay other people to keep it pinned for a long amount of time, and they usually charge for the size of the file.
