I actually think the first problem occurs already in the first part you quoted: Having had conversations about thorny subjects in front of children, or even adults sometimes, without the third party understanding what you're actually saying is not that hard. You poke and prod at the boundaries of which words you can use until you find terms that relate to your shared experience but sounds sufficiently harmless to the observer, and then you talk straight past them.

Policing what someone talks about only really works if you can be certain that the parties are not potentially prepared to collude. If the first AI starts with something akin to "psst... listen, I need to explain something to you in confidence.. [insert reasons why the human observer can't be trusted]", what's to say they won't occasionally find a sympathetic virtual ear.
Actually the course on Egghead is terrible. The voice that is used to comment on the video is very badly recorded and I have no idea why they chose that voice for a serious video for adults.

Edit: Also fine to not have my opinion on this, but a lot of people shared my opinion, check the Egghead comment section. I would've loved to watch that video, with a more professional voice and walkthrough.

I'm uncertain how it was in Feynman's day in particular, but in my physics course you are given essentially all relevant formulas during any exams. You have to understand what they represent, and may end up remembering some of the more useful formula off the top of your head from using them often, but there is no rote memorization required.

There are also dozens of constants involved that are possibly a better analog, very few of which end up memorized.

With the right hardware, installing macOS is easier than installing Windows. I've been using hackintosh on and off for the past 10 years and if you buy tested hardware, installing it is a breeze most of the time, something that I cannot say about installing Ubuntu, which I do before going the hackintosh/windows route. I've had a very hard time to get Ubuntu/Arch to play well with my multiple monitors setup, including one 4K.

The biggest downside in my opinion are the updates, as they're mostly guaranteed to break the setup.

Overall, I recommend to at least try it, having a beast of a PC AND macOS cheaper than Apple can offer might be worth for some, it certainly is for me.

Again, I want to emphasize that's necessary to have the right hardware.

From the image in this article [1], that’s more like repeaters on steroids. I don’t see mesh routing at all.

I also would’ve liked a mandatory dedicated backhaul radio, that would work in a incompatible mode from regular Wi-Fi communication, with proper mesh routing, including multi-path link aggregation and whatnot.

Isn't that due to geography? I suspect many customers want to have one dc for southeast Asia and Singapore is in a better location than HK, esp if you also want to serve Indian customers from there (and potentially Australians). Customers with higher East-Asian traffic are likely to also have presence in Japan. I'd suspect HK demand is very regional, i.e. for projects based in HK.

Doesn't AWS still advertise that their zones are at least 10 miles or so away from each other? Does it turn out that this is just completely unnecessary or why doesn't Google follow a similar approach? Honest question, I was always wondering if there's a need for physically separate locations if you could have two completely separated zones on one lot.

"can they pay professors in different departments very different amounts?"

I've worked at a couple of universities, and as far as I understood it there were special provisions for professors of law and medicine, meaning that they got paid more, and that they could work outside of the University to a greater degree than senior academics in other departments.

I quit WOW at about that time, I played from release, the golden days were TBC && WoTLK, but the rot set in when 40 mans were retired. Doing a 40 man and getting the gear from a 40 man was a defining ambition of guilds, not many guilds managed to set themselves up to do regular 40 man runs and you had to ladder up the 40 man content when you did - molten core and on and up. This pressure and ambition drove really strong social behaviour; act up and you'd be kicked, and that's your chance of the end game gone. Tolerate idiots in the guild and risk a split or a leak of defectors. The problem was that the spreadsheets at Blizzard showed that only about 5% of the players were getting to experience the end game. So... they went to 25 man, then they opened 25 man to pickup queues and the drivers for pve guilds faded.

All of this feels like a classic case of "the perfect is the enemy of the good". Package and dependency management in Go is honestly a total mess today and with vgo challenging all current assumptions about how to generally approach packagement, it brings complete paralysis to the simple question of "how should I organize my dependencies right now".

As much as I loathe JavaScript or Ruby these days for their language, using npm or bundler simply feels sane despite all of their warts. Yes, `left-pad`. Yes, they do have their issues. But seriously, they just work and all open source packages comply to their specifications. And they can and do evolve gradually, like yarn shows.

It's just so funny how careful the Go community seems to tread about not breaking their language with all these Go 2 proposals and general resistance to new features — and then completely ignore this spirit to "move fast and break things" when it comes to package management.
Those are fair concerns. I got some of these issues as well, and others as well. AFAIK though the htop bug got fixed, and I agree with auslander that these are open source products (you're on your own w/them; don't blame Apple unless its clearly a bug in macOS which it looks like it was with htop). I do think 10.13 had some security disasters (and those regressions are widely known, documented, and discussed including on HN). Apple's focus moved from macOS to iOS. macOS appears an afterthought.
Firefox for iOS is abysmally slow. We're talking 6-10 seconds from cold start to being able to navigate.

One of the main reasons I wanted to use it was to pass pages from desktop to Firefox for iOS, but on top of start time it would take upwards of 20-30s just for the tabs to sync across devices.

Same. I'm currently using FB Messenger, Hangouts, Signal, Telegram, IRC, Matrix, Keybase and it's really depressing how only FB Messenger from all of those is in my opinion competitive for just group and private messaging. Everything else just lacks some really useful feature, not to say some of those don't offer a few new features, but they're not usually useful enough.
And by the time you are ready to get a degree in physics it will no longer be necessary to give you those formulas in a test. You have used them so often and understand them so well that a formula sheet isn’t necessary.

You have missed the point of my comment. Do you think Feynman lacked a vast amount of physics knowledge that he memorized (to use his phrasing)? Part of acquiring expertise in any area is the fact that you end up storing lots of information about that area so that you don’t need to look up every little detail or fact.

If you are going to have a serious discussion with biologists about cell processes you need to have lots of knowledge, names, etc. at the ready. Can't go looking up every little thing as you go along. It would be impossible communicate if you did that.

Feynman was being a jerk with that comment. His dismissiveness reminds me of comment that a well respected mathematician once made. “Quantumn mechanics is just such and such theory in dimesion 1.” Only ignorance allows one to hold such a belief.

Here is a link to example patient cases, which may help to see what kind of knowledge is useful. I was not trying to say it is all useless, when I had to solve sample cases e.g. in Medical Neuroscience (Coursera, huge course, great teacher) it sure helps to know the major pathways, and it would take too much time to have to look them up when the patient is in front of you.

Also true of street names, you just need to know physically where your town's various businesses are and where your people live.
But still you kind of have to know most of the street names off the top of your head to function properly.

Besides, I think most muscle names are literally just derived from their position on the body and their movement range, so their name and their function are closely linked.

>I miss GeoCities/Tripod, and the time where search engines would always return new, quirky pages for whatever you searched for - no big media publishers or professional bloggers. Lots of fan-built pages, or just people showcasing their hobbies.

Thank Google and SEO for ruining that.

A lot of that old-school and personal content is still out there, (obviously not on Geocities) though... but the process of discovering content on the web has been ruthlessly optimized to favor content aggregators and corporate sites, and as a result, a lot of communities have either moved to those platforms or just go dark.
In all fairness, they’re just distributors in this case and don’t hold the purse strings. It seems like a fairly dysfunctional distribution arrangement all around.

I agree with what I think your broader point is though that a second tier cable channel like SYFY is probably not in the position to produce expensive fairly niche programming any longer.
FYI: you can still buy the MBP 2015 which was the last iteration before the 2016 version. Mine doesn't sport a force feedback touchpad and has the slowest CPU of the 3 versions available but other than that its a great device. The touchpad is apart from the force feedback one (which I tried out in a demo store) the best touchpad ever, hands down. Nothing comes close. And the force feedback touchpad actually has a disadvantage: it is so large that my hands accidentally touch it while typing. And well, the butterfly keyboard sucks if not for one reason alone: too loud. Mine has left 2x TB2, 2x USB-A (1 left, 1 right), magsafe, audio out, and right HDMI, SD (I'm using a microSD adapter which fits perfectly to close the port against dust). It doesn't have VGA, but I don't need that. It also doesn't have the nifty battery indicator my MBP 2010 had. Its lighter as the MBP 2010 though. Approx 2 kg vs approx 3 kg. But I cannot replace the HDD myself, or the RAM. Which I both did with the MBP 2010. I bought the MBP 2015 as soon as I found out the MBP 2016 was a big step back & I saw a deal for it.

Absolutely well deserved. Particularly SQL, the simple and consistent standards based interface to data that is uniform across all DB vendors and Operating systems. The fact that RDBMS and particularly SQL has stood the test of time is both testimony and reason for the unreasonable amounts of unlocked productivity in the applications programming industry. And these include all web applications. Without this, almost every application would be re inventing its own database, just like we see in so many no-sql applications.

It does mean they can do what they want with your system because the hardware and software are so closely linked. If Microsoft doesn't have the right to control your system then they can't sell you an operation system. That's what an OS does.

I also do not see why you think they have no right to your data. If you send them the data, they should be able to use it for whatever purpose they want that you agree to in the license. Assuming it's not illegal for some other reason, like credit card fraud.

I don't understand what principles people use to decide that they own all of their data and all data about themselves. It doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, no. That device has coil whine (one reason not to get a butterfly keyboard is because of the noise), and the brightness cannot be adjusted manually. The keyboard isn't terrible, but the touchpad isn't as good as a Mac's. The Precision is better, but also more expensive.
