This paper looks at the benefits of "engagement in an environment that requires sustained cognitive effort". This seems to support the idea that playing music might be one of the better things you can do to maintain or improve cognition based on this article:

Something I really hate about Gmail is the way it places attachments at the bottom of the page. So if I open a long thread in which the latest email had an attachment, I've got to scroll down to the bottom to locate it - it's so unintuitive that I often find myself scanning the page looking for the attachment.
Core eventually miniaturised into https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferroelectric_RAM , which remains in limited use (TI has a series of MCUs with FRAM instead of EEPROM) --- and one curious application is in the toner cartridge DRM chip of a Lexmark laser printer, for which there is this ongoing reverse-engineering effort:

All the various DNS alternatives people have pitched over the years pretty directly address the centralization issue you are getting at here. Often by casting themselves as decentralized.

Really the issue is that decentralization isn't very compatible with convenience and people generally place a lot more value on convenience than things like Sci-Hub.

I don't understand what you mean by this? Is this a comment about the current startup funding phenomenon?
As a practitioner in this field, I kind of agree with the author. Historically “intelligence” was synonymous with “cognition” as a necessary ingredient for the dictionary definition of the word: “the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills”. To call the ML techniques we have right now “intelligence” requires one to stretch the truth pretty significantly.

I worked as a service developer at a large telco in Europe, building - among other things - mail infrastructure. If there was one thing I would not have uttered in that context it would have been '...proper e-mail usage ... through MS Exchange'. We fought tooth and nail to be able to have 'proper email' despite the insistence of corporate to use MS Exchange. In the end we ended up with two machines on each desk, one of them for the sole purpose of communicating with those parts of the company which used MS Exchange.

Things might be less bad nowadays, I don't know. What I know about MS Exchange is enough to keep away from it.

Once upon a time, maybe, but somewhere in the 80s or 90s music seems to have matured and while a lot of details have changed since then, the core hasn't. Where the "pop music" is today hasn't changed much in a while. I could probably still freak out my 65 year old parents, but I'm not sure what my children could do at this point to freak me out. Listen to things I don't like, sure, that's not very hard, but freak me out? Not sure what that could be.

This is false. Local food is generally more expensive because real estate and labor costs are way higher. Nutrients and electricity (the inputs with direct environmental impact) account for a tiny fraction of the cost of production.

Yields may be slightly lower, but farmers won't grow crops that aren't relatively optimized to the environment. No one's growing avocados in Missouri (except perhaps in a tropical greenhouse, which likely is designed to self-sufficiently sustain its environment).
Here is a (wrong) statement:

* [the sum S of two even numbers A1 and A2] is an odd number

Here is its negation:

* [the sum S of two even numbers A1 and A2] is not an odd number

or alternatively:

* [the sum S of two even numbers A1 and A2] is an even number.

Let's "you can't prove the negative":

* A1 is even => there exists an integer a1 such that A1 = 2a1

A2 is even => there exists an integer a1 such that A2 = 2a2

by substitution the sum (A1+A2) = (2a1 + 2a2)

* by distributivity: (A1+A2)=2(a1+a2)

sum s of integers a1,a2 is an integer: a1 + a2 = s integer

* substitution (A1+A2)=2s with s integer

S=(A1+A2)=2s, hence S is even

an even number is not odd

* hence [the sum S of two even numbers A1 and A2] is not odd

We proved a theorem that was also a negation of a statement!!
No, many people even as young as 35 tend to have tremendous nostalgia regarding the music of their youth, to the point that I who rarely exhibit any form of nostalgia often have trouble connecting with them. Regarding other things, yes people like to make themselves feel young by adopting styles and activities usually associated with younger people. But music is more rarely one of them, especially genres popularized after their twenties.

In fact, it does. A lot of transmission energy is wasted as heat when powering devices with a terrible power factor. Replacing a 60w incandescent with a 15w device that has a .5 power factor isn't netting the environmental savings advertised.
> We may argue that domain names are different from phone numbers because they are recognisable. They carry trademarks, and unlike phone numbers, are often the way we remember of an internet facing person or company.

This isn't unlike how phone numbers used to be until 10-20 years ago (and still are for many people today, outside of tech circles).

Off the top of my head, I can rattle off at least six different phone numbers for businesses which I've never used (and some of which don't even exist anymore), simply because they chose a phone number that spelled out something memorable and relevant, and then used that heavily in their promotional materials and advertising, the same way you would for a domain name or app name today.

Heck Googling just one, I found a Youtube documentary that chronicles the 40-year history of jingles associated with one of those numbers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDv8zqpl8mI

> Also, the practical consequences of losing a phone number are much tamer than that of losing a domain name.

That's absolutely not true. They actually translate one-to-one quite well.

> While even if the latter is not property, the former could be treated as intellectual property

"Intellectual property" is a catchall term that conflates three completely distinct concepts in law: copyright, patents, and trademarks.

Phone numbers are obviously not patentable; the entire idea is nonsensical. And phone numbers are explicitly not subject to copyright protection, and there's case law about this exact scenario. You can copyright a particular publication of phone numbers (such as a phone book), but not the number itself, and even if you could, that doesn't mean you're actually the owner of the number (the one who holds the copyright).

You could make the argument for trademark protection, and that's exactly what this case is about. Unfortunately, it's a bidirectional application of competing marks - the man who owns France.com was already being accused of infringing French trademark law in the first place by claiming France.com as a mark.

> B is typically viewed as both preferable and less equal to A.

Your examples involved totals of 325k and 740k, so yeah, of course the one with more than twice the wealth (and divided among one fewer person) is considered more deisreable.

An example to match the inequality we have today would be closer to 1 person earning 900k, 90 people earning 10k, and 9 people earning 100k.

The issue isn't just inequality, your point that some level of inequality is?expected and even good in a capitalist system is correct. The issue is EXTREME inequality and increasing inequality.
I love the little things in Inbox also:

- Seeing things in the email list associated with the email without having to open them, like expected shipping dates, PDFs. I can click on those things directly in the list without having to open the email and hunt for them

- Being able to pin things. This also functions as a 'selective offline' - when I'm traveling I pin travel and other important emails. Or if I purchased a movie ticket months before I can pin that and easily press a button to retrieve it without having to search for it

One thing that worries me though is that not only is Gmail moving closer to Inbox (a good thing) but Inbox seems to be moving closer to Gmail...

For example on Inbox iOS there was a swipe down to dismiss email list or email which made it really easy to work one-handed. Now they've adopted the Gmail-style 'push into new page' which means you have to reach your thumb all the way up the screen to hit the back button instead of just swiping down on the email.

I want to say free and open, but unfortunately I have trouble being able to maintain that level of idealism anymore.

I have switched my hours around multiple times. Through high school, I was, of necessity, a morning person. In college, I became a night owl, often seeing the sunrise after all-nighters. A few years of working, I was a morning person again, getting up at 4am to go swimming before work. In grad school, particularly in the crunch to finish my dissertation, I was typically working from 11pm to 8am, and sleeping during the day.
I'm old now, and can't seem to get away from waking up at 6am, and there I'm stuck. But when I was young, flipping around hours was not a big deal.
From my current perspective, you can't just try to change your sleep schedule, you have to tweak everything else in support. When do you consume caffeine? When do you exercise? What do you eat and when? When do you stop looking at glowing screens? What kind of lighting do you have in your environment, and when? You may need to experiment with all these variables to find what allows you to shift your sleep schedule.

In the broader sense, this is one downside of the shift towards Lets Encrypt and CAs being more interchangable: increased power of the root stores relative to them.

It's about ensuring the invariants the parent class needs -- not giving subclasses freedom to do whatever they want is meant as a feature.

This allows library designers to design more future proof APIs (since they control more invariants of how they're gonna be extended), and to prevent users of their libs from shooting themselves in the foot.
I still remember flying back to Chicago on a red eye. I got into Midway airport, which at the time had all the charm of a poorly maintained bus station, and hopped on the L slightly before dawn. It was filled with sleepy commuters, all in that hazy, slightly vulnerable state we're in before we've really woken up. And I was filled with a deep love for humanity, for each one of those beautiful dreamers going about their lives. I could have hugged them.

I probably should’ve made clear that I support the idea of pre-filled taxes for most people.

At the same time, I think there’s some tendency towards exaggeration on how hard someone who derived all their income from a single W-2 has to work to file taxes.

Your W-2 alone has 20 boxes, albeit usually a dozen are actually used. When you file using a free online service, they have to ask you if you’re filing jointly, if you have dependents etc. A dozen fields is not a lot of work when you’re literally retyping information from a paper form. It’s tedious, but not particularly time consuming. It took me maybe an hour, part of which was just getting my pay stubs and W-2 out.
