On your earthquake question, the answer is no. See Tokyo as an example. From an engineering perspective we are very good at making buildings earthquake resistant; it just costs more to do so. Height restrictions on construction like those in SF usually have more to do with politics and NIMBYism than with safety concerns.

I would say brand recognition among amateur investors. Amateur investors, just like in the dot-com era, drive huge upsurges in prices, and tend to be indicative of the late stages of a bubble. Even Richard Shiller though, a really brilliant economist, does not even try to attempt when bubbles will "pop", but a good rule of thumb is they don't last longer than 10 years. It's hard to argue when this all started, but if you date the rise of the "start-up era" (which I am lumping in here with bitcoin) to say 2010, that gives you about 2 years max.

BTW this was all very common in the 90's with the rise of day-trading. People would literally give a company 50k and they'd be given a terminal at some rent-a-office to start trading (but with their own money not the firm's!!!).

Understanding a Micro VC Fund
I wish I could read for even one 3 hour period each day. When I sit down with a book or my ereader and start reading, I start feeling sleepy after ten or fifteen minutes. I'll also find that I'm scanning the sentences, but not really absorbing, so I turn back a few pages and start reading again.

I fare much better if I take notes as I read. I'm starting to think that maybe writing a chapter synopsis after every chapter I read would fix my problem. Plus then I could put them online and maybe get some feedback from other readers.

I'm halfway through Cryptonomicon right now and find myself reading Steve Russillo's page on the book to remind myself what just happened. My brain might not be good enough for passive reading anymore.

Edit: BTW, Russillo's page is a warm reminder to me of what first made me fall in love with the web. Check it out: http://russillosm.com/index.html

Bret Victor has done a lot of work on this, as well, and his paper Magic Ink[1] goes into a quite a bit of details. His work is referenced by Magic Paper, and like most things from Bret, it's probably worth looking at.

Interesting to note that neither BigQuery, nor Apache Presto (and therefore AWS Athena), support recursive CTEs.

However, most other DBs do (e.g. Postgres, MS SQL, MySQL 8.0, MariaDB 10.2, Oracle, etc.).

Which is disappointing, given how powerful BQ and Presto/Athena are for startups.

I can either put a lot of time and effort into remote communication, or I can work closely with people in a space that supports direct communication, putting that time and effort into whatever we're actually trying to do.

I freely grant that most office setups are shitty, so that for many people they waste time commuting and then waste plenty of time dealing with a bad office space and bad office culture. But that doesn't mean that offices can't be great places to work.

If I have my choice, it will always be working in close physical proximity with a team, just as long as we have a good space for that and a culture that supports actually getting things done. I like writing and am good at remote communication, but I'd rather save that energy for actual productive work.
I'm still looking for something like this that works with Python.

Python is huge in numerical libraries (numpy/scipy) and deep learning. But it is lacking in UIs. Yes, there's PyQt, but Qt is GPL'ed, making it impossible to use at our shop. And wxPython feels really archaic to use.

>>Conrad’s world shimmers beneath the surface of our own. Today Internet cables run along the seafloor beside the old telegraph wires. Conrad’s characters whisper in the ears of new generations of antiglobalization protestors and champions of free trade, liberal interventionists and radical terrorists, social justice activists and xenophobic nativists. And there’s no better emblem of globalization today than the container ship, which has made transport so cheap that it’s more cost-efficient to catch a fish in Scotland, send it to China to be filleted, then send it back to Europe for sale, than it is to hire laborers in situ. Ninety percent of world trade travels by sea, which makes ships and sailors more central to the world economy today than ever before.

I don't understand how you can be "anti-globalist" and "pro free trade", aren't those two things opposite?

As someone who works at MSFT in the Azure space I can tell you that the statement of "Who chooses to use Azure? Mostly MS shops" is inaccurate in my experience. Of all of the customers I've worked with, most of their architecture is at least 50% linux/OSS, typically more like 75%. I've honestly yet to see a customer moving to Azure who has more than 50% Windows based systems. Almost everyone I've worked with only uses Windows Server for their SQL Server services, outside of that it's RHEL, CentOS or Ubuntu.

With that being said, the typical appeal of Azure (and likely other cloud providers) are the PaaS services. Those typically do have Windows VMs sitting behind them, although we are starting to make Linux an option on most of those.

Ah nope, CrowdStrike again.

I think I'll stop here.

Right so 100 sources are just quoting each other. Spreading a lie and quoting it many times over times over doesn't make it any more true. It makes for a nice PR campaign for sure.

I think at this point you're going to need to address the sources and find where the evidence is.
In that case, you can still have signature spoofing support built-into the ROM, but without microG, it just won't be used.

Signature spoofing only affects app you explicitly give permission to use it, and only apps that call for it.

The Greek root word for both "faith" and "belief" in the Bible is "pistis".

There's no reason one couldn't be skeptical, find satisfying answers to questions, then have a lot of faith (trust) in something.

> My point was a religious person will continue to hold religious beliefs despite observable phenomena that directly contradict scripture and dogma.

I'm not sure what scientific evidence would disprove that an omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent God exists. Any real objection to a god's existence would have to be predicated on some metaphysical assumptions (like, God wouldn't design evolution or create fossil records). What looks like misplaced trust might actually be a disagreement or misunderstanding about metaphysical axioms.

>Yes. Having managed remote teams and being a remote dev, it's all about response time. If someone slacks you, the response should be as quick as if it were verbal in the office. If it takes 2 hours to get a response out of someone - then they are not participating correctly on a remote team.

This is pretty much why I don' want to work remotely.

At the office, when busy, I can turn my email and IM off. If people need something, they are welcome to come to me and I'll engage with them. I do not want to deal with urgent issues over any kind of IM. If you are not physically present, then call me and we'll have a voice chat.

My frustration is that IM is used for both urgent requests, as well as non-urgent ones. It's used as an alternative both to phones (immediate need - synchronous) and to email (no rush - asynchronous).

My fear in working remote is that I'll get too many non-urgent interrupts using IM. I cannot see a good reason to use textual IM over a voice chat. If it's not urgent, just use email.

So while I agree that response time can be important, there should be clear policies on the medium used for it. If the team mostly had policies that match my preferences, I could do remote work. But I suspect most teams will disagree with them. Hence I get my way in the office.

Taking 2 hours for a response is often fine at the office, BTW. It all depends on the context.

>Immediate responses is a remote team. Day long responses is contract work. Week long responses is open source projects and government work.

There are very few jobs that really fit this categorization. At my work (in the office), we often respond to things the same day. On the flip side, today I plan to respond to something that had been requested a week ago. I don't work in OS or for the government.

If someone wants a quick response, they have to explain the need for it in the email. If it's open ended, it goes to the bottom of the queue. I'm willing to bet that since they haven't bugged me about it, they either no longer need the information, or it is low priority for them.

You certainly don't have to use it. One of the goals we had when we created Renjin was to keep it pure Java. Even the packages with native code are transpiled to pure Java bytecode so you can use an R interpreter in a JVM without interfacing to native code (e.g. using JNI) and this allows you to use the interpreter on an instance with one of the many Platform-as-a-Service providers like we do with Google App Engine.

Oh, GNU R is also garbage collected of course and compared to the JVM's garbage collector it is pretty primitive. This is an area where TIBCO have also improved their own R interpreter called TERR [1].

It would completely destroy the whole ecosystem. Building a dam would drastically limit the amount of sediment travelling out into the sea to a tiny fraction of its normal flow, thus eliminating a large portion of aquatic life.
It’s not terror. It’s just a mask for predatory, unchecked real estate speculation.
Obscurity seems like useful security here. IIUC it shouldn't be possible to e.g. trick self-driving cars with noisy signs, unless you have a copy of the classifier to train against. Thinking about ATMs, you could train against it as a black box, repeatedly inserting different patterns of noise? But it seems probably infeasible if you need to do a lot of iterations.

It also suggests that people concerned about adversarial attacks shouldn't use off-the-shelf pretrained classifiers, where attacks can be trained offline in advance. Similar to hashing algorithms and rainbow tables, maybe a practice of "salting" an off-the-shelf classifier could be effective in dodging attacks.
I really hope you're being sarcastic. Building dams are environmentally devastating. Dams created a multi-billion dollar fertilizer industry in Egypt where none existed before adding them to the Nile. They blocks sediment on rivers, inhibits salmon from returning to their spawning grounds (even with the help of fish ladders).

Any type of geoengineering at this type of scale would have some very large unintended blowback.

They didn't really disable anything.

Signature spoofing in the past and now can only be enabled on a per-app basis by the user. So the ROM can have signature spoofing support, and the user can have 20 malicious apps installed; none of those 20 apps can spoof signatures unless the user allows it.

It's basically just another permission.

With that said though; if a user blindly-enables the permission on any app that asks, that's a pretty big security issue. But I'd rather have the choice than accommodate uninformed users...

Seamanship in the USN has been on a downward slope for over a decade due to changes in training methodology.

Especially because as of a year ago, Hyper V still had terrible, terrible, time support. Kernel logs are filled with spam about the clock being jumped. Time sync constantly drifts seconds all over.

Compared to our Linux VMs on GCP, which get millisecond sync and stay that way because NTP actually works on whatever platform they use.

It's shocking that Windows still has no proper NTP support and people are OK with their clocks being so off. Makes logging and debugging certain issues a bigger pain.

>And that they probably are also not afraid to use that 'full bandwidth', disrupting everyone workflow, repeatedly, like calling an hour long team status update meeting for a communication that could have perfectly occurred in a 2 line email message.

To be frank, people using IM to communicate with me disrupt my flow a lot more. They start a thread/conversation/request, and then are slow to respond, or disappear. You can't do that face to face.

Face to face (or even telephone) forces people to prepare. Rarely do I see people work that way with IM. People tend to realize that they are interrupting someone if it's a face to face. In my experience, many (most?) workers don't view IM as a significant interruption to the other party. So they feel much more free in using it.
Maybe contraceptives are a dead-end against which evolution can't do much.

Maternal instinct exists : it pushes a woman to keep her offspring alive at all cost. I suppose it also makes women yearn for having a baby to take care of. But apparently, having just one is enough for them. Maybe two, but they seem to be content with no more than that.

What makes a woman pregnant in the first place is the sexual impulse of the male. That sexual impulse is the primary way nature gets animal organisms to reproduce. With contraceptives, males can satisfy that sexual impulse without creating new offspring. How will nature induce highly-intelligent animals to make an offspring if the sexual intercourse is no more sufficient? It's hard to imagine how genes could intervene high enough on cognitive functions to induce a thought such as "I must have intercourse with this women without contraception because I want children".

It could be an evolutionary dead-end.
