I have some ideas for alternatives or tweaks, but nothing I am particularly sure about.

My general sense of skepticism comes from a few things:

- The sense that America as a whole is somewhat shoddily run

- The sense that San Francisco specifically is very shoddily run.

- The (very elitist, I'll admit) feeling that I don't think the average person is competent to understand or decide most issues.

To be sure, context matters: "who is your population", "what is your political culture" (tradition of bribery? of honesty?) &c are important; some very nice places seem to be working well as democracies.

But I would not classify the city or the country I live in among them.

Still unsure of & mulling over exactly what I'd do to fix things.

(SF in particular is pretty bad:

- Extremely rich

- But staffed with a working-class that lives in poor conditions & is super overworked; basically, exploited

- Filled with people living on the streets in conditions ranging from extremely bad to some of the extreme human misery I've ever witnessed

- Decaying infrastructure

- Constant low-level crime

- Very (very!) dirty.)
As far as I know, as long as they don't host any nodes with illegal content, they shouldn't get in trouble just for publishing the protocol and the client protocol and servers. Otherwise, the inventors of tcp/ip, http, bittorrent, telnet and more would be in prison.
> FOSS and privacy are tangential matters

Actually, the only way privacy can be guaranteed is with code you control running on a machine your control. Free Software (and not Open Source) has everything to do with privacy, as it is about control.
I do not think this is an argument in favor or against the existence of dark matter. I think it is a very surprising result either way. Only thing we know is that this galaxy is a very special fluke.

It will surely be difficult to explain by non-dark-matter theories, but I do not think dark matter advocates are going to have any easier to explain why this galaxy (and, as far as we know, only this galaxy) doesn't have any dark matter.

It will be exciting to see what explanations both camps come up with.

On the other hand, not checking 100% of the boxes would boost the credibility of your other claims a lot. Clever HR departments might even deliberately add some extremely implausible optional requirements to flag those who are most comfortable lying in their CV.

I know, and I was answering to your statement “That screen is limited to navigation”. It’s not.

> that operation does the equivalent of "grep -R something ." no?

No. With “search archives” checked you can run that in a directory with multiple archives of different types, some of them containing other nested archives, it’ll recursively unpack everything (in a streaming manner, without wasting HDD with temporary files), and produce a list of files (possibly files inside these archives) containing that text.

Technically you can use 7z+others, write a huge script to combine them together for similar functionality, but it’ll take hours to develop.

Reference Architecture of an Intelligent Autonomous Agent for Cyber Defense
This is a rule that can been extended and which in my opinion is the main objection to "AI will replace [insert any profession here]".

Even if you have sufficient data to train an algorithm, you still need AI experts who understand the domain (another big obstacle) and the cost of these AI experts creating and maintaining the algorithm needs to be less than the cost of the workers who's jobs you want to automate.
It would be really cool to read interview with the authors of other great emulators of the era too.

My personal favorite was NO$GMB ("nocash gameboy"), which was written in x86 assembly for DOS and allowed a 33MHz 486DX to emulate a Gameboy Color at multiples of full speed. Just the interface gives me waves of nostalgia :)

The author, Martin Korth is suprisingly still very active in the emulation scene [1], and still lives the life of a starving artist. Interesting guy and great programmer/reverse engineer.

A few cool reads in this area that are varyingly-related to software:

* Architecture of Open Source Applications (http://aosabook.org/en/index.html): always a nice reference for brief overviews of how various OSS projects are architected.

* Counterintuitive Behavior of Social Systems (https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/15-98...): primarily an argument by Jay Forrester (the "father" of system dynamics) for using computer models to test social policy changes, but also serves as a primer for how systems are complicated, and how to approach reasoning about complex systems.

* A City Is Not A Tree (http://en.bp.ntu.edu.tw/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/06-Alexan...): ostensibly a paper about the structure of cities, but but really a deeper insight into the limits of using tree-like structures to describe systems.
> I would like someone who loves their work so much they do 150% of the expected amount of work, freely chooses to stay late to make the Foo they're working on the best Foo the world has ever seen.

I had a job where I did this. Know what the employer did? He whined I wasn't doing enough, and gave me more to do then expected me to stay even later to do it.

I was eventually spending more time at work than I was at home - I no longer work for free. If an employer wants extra hours out of me, they pay or I head home at clock out time.

Employment isn't about your dream being fulfilled, it's a commercial agreement between two parties where one agrees to pay the other for time spent at the workplace. I don't live to work, I work to live, and I have other stuff to do.

On my death bed, the one thing I can guarantee that I will never think is "I wish I'd worked an extra evening for free on that project for my employer." It's far more likely to be "I wish I hadn't worked that evening for free, so I could have seen the sun set just one more time."

For most people, weight loss is simply the wrong goal. Increasing activity levels and functional ability provides a much better return in quality of life and long-term health than weight loss.

As activity levels rise, weight loss starts to change from an extrinsic to an intrinsic goal, as it now directly impacts performance. It still requires diet change, but each incremental reduction produces more tangible effects than just a number on a dial.
There is little difference between "fast food chains" and "restaurants in general".

Fast food chains make their food from prepared components that they buy in bulk through some sort of homogenized supply chain. So do most restaurants.

Fast food chains involve a lot of plastic in their food preparation, even hot food and even while cooking. So do most restaurants.

Fast food chains use food components that are optimized for shelf life, using whatever chemicals that the FDA said are "generally recognized as safe" in 1958. So do most restaurants.

And so on.

Places where the chef goes out to the farmer's market every morning, hand-selecting the ingredients, and then painstakingly crafts your meal using only metal and ceramic are the exception rather than the norm.

Even one-off family restaurants where you get "good" food are doing most of this stuff, just because it is the norm, and they don't see anything wrong with it.

If you don't believe me, just go in the kitchen of your favorite restaurant and observe what the chef does and read the ingredients on the big containers of "raw" ingredients.

"So best case, 200 GW will only produce 525 TWh annually. This is equivalent to a 66 GW nuclear plant (nuclear has a 90% capacity factor)."

Sure. But these days, you'd be hard pressed to build 66 GW of nuclear for $200 billion. It's costing about US$30 billion for one 3.2GW nuclear plant currently under construction in the UK (Hinkley Point C). And it's probably a lot more than that by the time you account for eventual decommissioning costs and long term waste storage.
No, it doesn't, and I'm getting kinda tired of the EU being depicted this way.

A treaty gets rejected, renegotiated, the public is informed of the changes, and then is voted on again. For example, per your own linked article:

> Denmark — The Danish Maastricht Treaty referendum, 1992, 2 June 1992, 50.7% against, turnout 83.1%

> Denmark — The Danish Maastricht Treaty referendum, 1993, 18 May 1993, 56.7% in favour, turnout 86.5%

> In Denmark, two referendums were held before the treaty of Maastricht passed. The first one rejected the treaty. After the defeat of the treaty in the first refererendum, Denmark negotiated and received four opt-outs from portions of the treaty: Economic and Monetary Union, Union Citizenship, Justice and Home Affairs, and Common Defence. The second referendum approved the treaty amended with the opt-outs.

That is how politics is supposed to work: debate and negotiate until a consensus is reached, and even then keep updating the rules as things change.

This is not a "vote until you answer what we want you to answer." Sure, there is an agenda by the diplomats to integrate Europe into one transnational union. But they're open about that, and the public does get to vote on big decisions through these referenda. The process through which all of this happens is a lot more democratic than, say, a big corporations pushing political parties to push a law through (and yes, that also happens in the EU, but that's a problem in political systems everywhere).
You're entitled to your opinion. But I don't think you're even comparing apples to apples here. Facebook claims 2.2 billion monthly active users. Sure, that is a flattering and inflated number, but at face value that is about 28% of the world's population.

That is "the world's most recognized word is Coke/Apple" levels of mindshare. That simply doesn't go away overnight. People no longer drink 24 bottles of Coke a day[0] but Coke is still everywhere and ubiquitous.

Hence my assertion that Facebook has critical mass: the history of MySpace isn't a useful analogy for trying to stipulate what might happen to Facebook. After a certain size/ubiquity they can sidestep user exodus, if only through sheer acquisition of the replacement.

Perhaps a concession is that Facebook the product may be gone in a decade. I'll be very surprised if Facebook, Inc. is gone.

As an aside, a friend got listed with the title cosmocrator (ruler of the universe, when translated directly from greek) in the phonebook. All it took was for him to request it when they asked for a title, and, when asked what it was, reply that it was a form of kinesiology.

All in all, you probably should not but to much stock into titles. Even less so, if they are not protected.

"Valid" configurations do not exist, there are only optimal/suboptimal and saturated/unsaturated ones. The classic FPR makes no assumptions about this (indeed optimality is derived from FPR minimum), and as such should apply as well to suboptimal saturated configuration, were it correct.

However looking at theorem 3 in [0] I think the difference between "classic" and "real" FPR is small, especially for larger n and m. At the end of [0] is mentioned a study in which the authors could not reach the classic FPR in their simulations, but attributed this result to bad pseudorandomness of elements. [0]'s author claim that the difference may instead come from the real FPR value (which is actually very hard to compute, so it's hard to be sure).

The 5/8 probability mentioned is indeed correct. First element has four equiprobable possible outputs for its two hashes: (0,0), (0,1), (1,0) and (1,1). Same for the second element, which yields 16 different cases. Out of these 16 cases 10 will lead to a false positive.

If anyone finds this train of thought interesting, look at literature around Neuro-linguistic programming [0]. As pointed out in the Wikipedia article, this body of work is heavily criticized, and I'll address that, because I think that NLP shouldn't be discarded. The methodicality of the approach outlined in the above comment is somewhat of a central theme in most of NLP, that's what reminded me of NLP. For the purpose of this discussion, I'd sum up NLP as a deep, broad and interesting exploration of the key-take-away from the above comment, that is the trigger-response-reward loop.

It's true that there's a lot to criticize in NLP. What stuck out to me especially was the monetization by R. Bandler and his manner of conversing that is somewhere between being excessively boastful and compulsively lying. However, the Wikipedia article says that the body of work that is NLP was discredited scientifically, which I find preposterous.

I can easily see some practice advocated by a notable NLP practicioner being discredited, but not the whole, because it is too far-reaching. The area covered by NLP makes it pretty much an umbrella keyword for many, many areas of activity of a handful of people. The most controversial of which is probably their revival, reinterpretation and I'd dare say furthering of our understanding of hypnosis, but that's just one thing, and one that I don't find to be their most important contribution.

The basic NLP keywords relevant to this discussion are triggers, mental mapping, anchoring, Meta Model, and then a small host of more advanced concepts that use these building blocks. Their work on the vaguelly named "meta model" alone should be deemed an important contribution, while being minor compared to their work on behavioral therapy.

I can't recommend individual books, since I've sprinted through a bunch of them some years back, their quality somewhat varied, and I had to read some of them to find out that they are repackaged older material, but there are definitely gems out there. The principal authors in the field are John Grinder and Richard Bandler. I would stay away from post-2000 books by Bandler, if I recall correctly. I seem to have found them over-monetizing and a bit distasteful. Bandler also has a lot of video content out there, which again is often distasteful in my opinion.

To sum up on a positive note, I find the literature and work around NLP to be a diamond in the rough, emphasis on diamond.
