Rejuvenation therapies and treatments that slow the progression of aging won't be tested in humans by waiting to see. They will be tested using quick before/after measures of biomarkers of aging. Those biomarkers are under development, and numerous types exist somewhere in the slow scientific process of standardization and debate. Here applied to calorie restriction, for example:

https://academic.oup.com/biomedgerontology/article/73/1/4/38...

"We obtained data from the National Institute on Aging CALERIE randomized trial through its public-access biobank (https://calerie.duke.edu/). The CALERIE trial randomized N = 220 nonobese adults to 25% caloric restriction (n = 145; 11.7% caloric restriction was achieved, on average) or to maintain current diet (n = 75) for 2 years. We analyzed biomarker data collected at baseline, 12-, and 24-month follow-up assessments. We applied published biomarker algorithms to these data to calculate two biological age measures, Klemera–Doubal Method Biological Age and homeostatic dysregulation. Intent-to-treat analysis using mixed-effects growth models of within-person change over time tested if caloric restriction slowed increase in measures of biological aging across follow-up. Analyses of both measures indicated caloric restriction slowed biological aging. Weight loss did not account for the observed effects. Results suggest future directions for testing of geroprotective therapies in humans."

That said, it is quite clear that research into provoking stress response isn't going to do much for longevity in humans, even while it may do useful things for long-term health in the same way as exercise and calorie restriction do. In addition to calorie restriction, growth hormone receptor knockout can be compared in mice and humans with Laron syndrome - the large gains in mouse life span don't occur in humans.

However, research into repairing the damage that causes aging is a whole different ball game. A completely different strategy, set of mechanisms, overall approach, and effect on the individual. A reversal of aging rather than a slight slowing of aging. We have no idea how results in mice will map to results in humans. So it is worth keeping an eye on the ongoing pilot trials and forthcoming larger trials of clearing senescent cells in human patients.
"difference in preferences and abilities" has been characterized by TechCrunch.com as "biologically less capable of engineering." This is not simply an inaccurate representation of Damore's memo, it is a complete smear job. The SJWs can't tolerate anyone, especially a white male, speaking out against their bullshit. I hope Damore wins, and wins big.

arm-powered chromeboxes don't exist (yet?), so perhaps an arm-powered chromebook?

(chromeboxes tend to be more upgradeable than their chromebook counterparts)

Linux OS, kept up to date for you (with google backporting security fixes to their kernel, and of course - updating their browser), running on arm.

Can be used as a simple browser-only machine, or if you are decently comfortable with linux, you can unlock its potential and use it as a fully-fledged linux machine. Your choice.

If you want to avoid being part of the google foodchain, you could try dual-booting into another arm distro of your choice.

Especially since modern cultural change seems to have a tendency to be driven by the youngest politically-aware cohorts. Not a lot of time to acquire wisdom that might prevent that, if you're so young you haven't even collected enough knowledge yet.

I thought continuity provides an answer:

11:59:59.9999999999 is still AM.

12:00:00.0000000001 is clearly PM.

When should the AM switch to PM? My intuition says at the same time that the 11 switches to a 12 (and all the 9's switch to 0's). Thus, noon is pm.

Having said that, in reality the solution is banish the abominable 12 hour clock, and use the 24 hour clock.

That also removes the ambiguity whether "Midnight on January 1st 2017" means 2017-01-01 00:00 or 2017-01-01 24:00 == 2017-01-02 00:00.

From the complaint:

"23. Damore was diligent and loyal, and received substantial praise for the quality of his work. Damore received the highest possible rating twice, including in his most recent performance review, and consistently received high performance ratings, placing him in the top few percentile of Google employees. Throughout the course of his employment with Google, Damore received approximately eight performance bonuses, the most recent of which was approximately 20% of his annual salary. Damore also received stock bonuses from the Google amounting to approximately $150,000 per year.

24. Damore was never disciplined or suspended during his entire tenure at Google.

25. Based on Damore’s excellent work, Damore was promoted to Senior Software Engineer in or around January 2017—just eight months before his unlawful termination by Google."

So I understand that sudden exercise can cause clots to become loose and get stuck in one of your coronary arteries causing a heart attack.

But those clots are there whether you exercise or not, right? So they are going to cause a heart attack at some point. So by avoiding exercise, you just delay the inevitable.

You make really bad claim that has 3 parts and all 3 parts are either made up, exaggerated or irrelevant.

The one interaction we've ever had, where he made point by point critiques of my argument, has shown me that he "sure does like to make strong claims without offering even a shred of argumentation.""...?

Yes, almost all of the technology in Vive is originally Valve research. The lighthouses, headset prototype, and controllers were all being demoed (in 3D printed/hacked hardware) at their Bellevue offices in ~2015, or maybe earlier, I forget. HTC partnered with Valve as a manufacturing partner then. I don't know of any meaningful VR research that has happened at HTC independently.

The key feature of crypto currency (to me) has always been that it can't be easily manipulated by a government.

Right, instead of being easily manipulated by governments, it's manipulated by its founders right out of the gate, and anyone else that manages to get an outsized stake in the currency down the road.

"Only worthwhile (maybe) in a failed state condition when there is no other viable currency" is not exactly a ringing endorsement.

2. Appealing to number of citations is an appeal to popularity (fallacy) because it avoids criticizing the content. It's also not "unseating" the big five, just demonstrating how the big five is incorrectly used as biological factor analysis.

With TypeLits, idk if that’s possible without some cheating. But that’s because (as the module name implies) these are type literals and mostly focused on having Integers that can go from type to term and vice-versa.

I can definitely do that with Singleton peano Nats pretty easily. I’ll end up with a function of type

SNat n -> Maybe (IsEven n)

Where IsEven n is some structural proof of even-ness

data IsEven (n :: Nat) where
ZEven :: IsEven Z
SEven :: forall (n ::Nat). IsEven n -> IsEven (S (S n))

I own both headsets and personally believe they are far from "toys for rich kids." I never thought a VR headset would provide so many new experiences and opportunities. Attending OC4 was a great experience and I made professional connects that provide me an avenue into the game industry should I wish to apply my skills there. Lots of new friends as well, the price point keeps the CoD crowd largely out of the mix; on that front it's like the friends you make on irc but you can talk to them face to face. Overall it has been very much a positive experience for me. Just my 2c.

Taxpayer funding has been cut significantly, which according to at least one study correlates strongly with the increase in tuition costs.

Do you have evidence that the number of administrators indeed increased [EDIT: as much as you say, and that what the admins do isn't valuable] and that it significantly affects tuition?

I'm tired of this easy, baseless claim, in every field, that people don't need to pay taxes and contribute to society, they can have a magical free ride by cutting mythical waste. In fact, say some, we don't even need many colleges; these kids can just be plumbers.

Meanwhile, the #1 determinant of college attendance is not academic ability or achievement, but parental wealth. College attendance dropped ~200,000 last year; the country is going backward.
Yep, you have to be fairly close to the screen for it to count. Obviously you can cheat if you want to, but what good is that.
A fair amount of people think the same about our national security, but they're obviously not brainwashed, just good old patriots.
>>unrestrained capitalism

It sounds scary when put like that but it just means people free to interact, while secure from other social actors in their person and property. By the nature of voluntary configuration, interactions have a tendency toward being mutually beneficial, and there are corrective feedback loops that naturally exist in a voluntary society to reduce those that aren't (e.g. scammy operators increasingly excluded by increasing consumer vigilance and growing reputation markets).

And you can still have governments provisioning economic resources that qualify as public goods, like basic research, public information resources, policing and national defense, in such a setting, so there is no fundamental deficiency in unrestrained capitalism, aka an absolute free market.
As a former owner of several generations of Palm devices and a former Palm developer, I must regrettably suggest that it wasn't Apple or Google's control of their respective ecosystems that killed PalmOS. Palm hardware was unreliable and plagued with battery breakdown problems.
> Socrates felt the same way about books actually a lot of big thinkers in that era felt that writing and reading would lead to the degradation of the human memory.

They probably did lead to degradation of human memory--not in the underlying capabilities, of course, but in how well most people are able to use them.

There is some interesting discussion of this in Joshua Foer's book "Moonwalking with Einstein" [1]. Before books were widespread learning ways to use memory quickly and efficiently was important to scholars and others who worked with large amounts of information. Afterwards, it was good enough to just go with your raw, untrained memory, and the old memory techniques were almost forgotten.

Funny enough, almost all forms of the mafia in fact do social works projects. Their scale has historically not been large enough to build bridges though, however they almost all fund social programs to one degree or another.

The Italian Mafia both in NY and Italy have done that. Escobar did it. Al Capone did it. Etc. One can certainly debate their reasoning for doing it of course (eg buying goodwill so they can continue their crime spree, set up an underdog appeal and so on).
I wasnt sure if this was pure satire or something real until I read this part:

This WAS true in 2015 but is NOT TRUE today. All the Nvidia Pascal-generation desktop GPUs (2016) run extremely well on laptops. Since 2016, there is no more "mobile class" Nvidia GPU designation.

The "VR Ready" laptops are popular, and they have a 1050, 1060, 1070, and even an Nvidia 1080 GPU. These are very powerful gaming laptops, and some are still in slim form factors like the Razor Blade, and relatively affordable for a laptop ($1400-2000)

"Greg Jorgenson is a typical programmer."

Then who are all these commenters in mailing lists, forums, blog posts and source control systems who are proclaiming code they cannot read as "unreadable" or 'unmaintainable"?

Clearly the author is aware these comments fall into the categories he mentions; they are reframing "I can't read this code" into some sort of pseudo-objectivity.

If typical programmers are aware of this practice, then who are these commenters labelling things they cannot read as "unreadable" or "unmaintainable"?

Are they "typical programmers"?

Can we respond to those labelling code as "unreadable" or "unmaintable" by pointing out that they really mean "I cannot read this code"?

Will they acknowledge, "Yes, what I meant was I do not know the language well-enough to understand that code, but others might be able to read and edit it."
