Funny story. I loved smart phones. From the first Palm with cell access to the Treo 270 and 650. I bought the first iPhone and then spent tons of time in IRC working out with a large group how to unlock it as my company paid for T-mobile, not ATT. I loved my iPhone and had a few. At some point I bought a Galaxy Note. I loved the HW, but hated the OS. Did the whole custom ROM etc, but it was just never as clean as IOS. About this time I was at a small party at a friends who used to work at Google. There was the normal crowd of techies from most of the major players in the valley. I was talking to a few friends about how much I disliked the Android experience. There was this guy there that I did not know. He starts asking tons of question zeroing in on why I disliked Android, which came down to the lack of interface guidelines between apps and the like. This Q&A went on for like 30 minutes. At the end I asked him, “why do you care so much?” He said “Sorry, we have not been introduced, I am Andy and I run Android at Google.” The thing that impressed me very much was the depth and detail of the question and his understanding of what my issue was. He said at the end “you are right, we can do better”. Nice guy.
Can anyone recommend books/videos/lectures/courses that give insight or go beyond the astrophysics in Interstellar?
The problem is that people think that egalitarianism is the natural state of the world and hirarchies have to be artificially introduced. I can see the appeal of this sort of thinking. People belive it, because it is a nice thing to belive.
most stupid comparison. the number of visa free countries is completely bullshit. who wants to travel to saudia arabia or sudan.
the real benefit of a second passport is whether that passport allows you to live in a country and have decent life or at least give you backup in the future.
Glad they only looked for Titanium Dioxide, as present in everything and anything except for a lot of the more common tattoo inks. Titanium Dioxide is effectively 'white paint' and mixed in with ink as well as to do highlights in white.

A lot of tattoo ink is 'burnt animal bones' and mostly harmless. However, a surprisingly large amount of people in the trade are vegan and therefore only use the 'vegan friendly' ink. So that means nickel shoved into the skin instead of dead animal ash.

Colours, particularly bright colours, do need heavy metals such as cadmium for yellow, cobalt for blue and, depending on who is doing the fearmongering, lead, arsenic, everything up to depleted uranium.

One might imagine that in this age where we have brightly coloured plastics made from petroleum products and friendly to everything from kids to dishwashers that it would be possible to get vegan friendly ink that was not made from toxic heavy metals. But it is not like that at all, to get good colours you do need lots of heavy metals.

Tattoos are far from permanent, yellows will fade to be barely visible within five years even if looked after with sun cream and covered 99% of the time. I would be very interested to see how these inks make it from the skin and on towards the liver over time. I know some people say they are allergic to Titanium Dioxide but that has to be one of the more inert of the inks, what happens to the lead is more interesting.

There could be a flip side though. Some people don't get enough zinc. So what if you could have a 'slow release mechanism' tattoo that gave you the zinc the doctor said you needed?
This. I split time between the Bay and up in north eastern Ca. Reality is, aside from housing, day to day costs are really no different - gas, food, utilities. I’m fortunate to have that flexibility, but percentages mask a number of things.

I was talking to someone recently - with all the “tech” going into the Reno area, housing is getting more and more expensive. The average salary is still in the mid 30k range, however.
It's fairly safe to say that, in computing, speed (in this case, a form of latency), always makes a difference to someone.

In a cloud environment, that latency could be wasted money in paying for an instance not doing work. Sure, it's averaged over that long-running time period, but in a continuous-deployment environment, that might not be all that long.

It can also have a very significant effect on MTTR in case of an outage, especially if multiple deployments are required.
Access to a library -certainly does not- enable ready access to the law. (E.g., that's why the lawyers use Westlaw ... proprietary ... instead of the library.)

Perhaps your suggestion is not based on personal experience.
That’s a bit glib, and ignores the possibility that now it’s known those nanoparticles travel in lymph, they could be found elsewhere. In the case of something like TiO2, I’d be pretty concerned if nanoparticles where found in my lymph nodes or elsewhere. There is also evidence of chronic enlargement of the nodes as a result, and persistent hypertrophy or inflammation are known risk factors for cancer. Simply dismissing any risk until large longitudinal studies show a correlation in key populations is probably unwise.

It’s been known for a while that tattoos are a possible vector for some infectious diseases, typically when unsanitary methods are employed. The focus of disease and tattoos has generally been around Hep C, and you might be overestimating the degree of scholarly interest in looking beyond that. Nanoparticles infiltration is a relatively new concept, and none that I’ve ever seen leads me to the conclusion that the results are likely to be positive, but it’s early days yet. TiO2 has been tentatively linked to tumors in rats, but it’s only been tested through the inhalation route. Science takes time, and a rational person might wait and see rather than say “fuck it, until you prove it I’m tatting up!”

So sure, get a tattoo, but realize that you’re having an unregulated ink shot into your dermis, and elements of that ink can infiltrate systemically. That would worry me, but then, I wouldn’t get a tattoo.
Well, then, that’s probably why you still love the idea behind Laissez-Faire.

The entire ecosystem of Google and Arm are not open in any way, it's a one sided relationship and this kind of fake open source makes a mockery of the open source movement and the extraordinary value Google, Facebook and rest of the ecosystem have got from open source.

The apologists and hand wavers do a disservice to good faith discussion on open source and are more interested in moats, which is a legitimate objective but then build your own moat. Don't posture about being open. That's just corrupt.

Here is a quick test of value. Will Linux be affected in the slightest if Google dropped Android and moved to Fuschia today? It will not even be noticed.

Same with Google's use of Linux in the rest of their infrastructure. Will Linux be affected in the slightest if Google stops using Linux? Again no.

So Google is actually benefiting hugely from Linux and adding little to no value back. Open source licenses need to learn from this to prevent their abuse. Even better a new clause which forbids the use of open source for surveillance and stalking is sorely needed. Or if this is the result people will simply not be motivated to contribute.
Cuba? 'militarily industrialized'?

???

Have you been to Cuba? Serious question.

There's not a whole lot of military in Cuba at all.

I'm shadowbanned so I don't know why I respond to things anymore but...

Hemp-derived cbd is legal in all 50 states, which is appealing for legal reasons, but I've found cannabis derived cbd is much more effective.

Also, please be careful and research what you are injesting. There are a lot of cbd oils these days that have added terpenes and other things. If you can't find a scientific terpene profile I wouldn't use it, or even better, use things without the added stuff.

As a comat vet with ptsd I think it's a moral outrage that the one easy to grow plant that helps me and my buddies is illegal. Personally, I also think it's unconstitutional as well, but there is a good debate to be had (that I haven't seen yet) about states abuse of general welfare and health clauses to justify their attacks on it, along with good discussion about the abuse of the Commerce clause at the federal level.

Ps; dang, this isn't an alt, I changed my password without looking on the other account.
Author here (of the post, not the paper). I think you don't understand how science works. The whole point of the exercise (which indeed may have been forgotten these days) is to attack ideas/papers. The first line of attack should be your friends to make sure you don't put anything out there that is silly. The second line of attack are the reviewers, who may or may not be idiots themselves, but in the perfect world should serve the same purpose. The third line attack are independent readers, people like me. I found it to be trivial, took my liberty to attack it. It is not personal and should not be taken so. These guys may in the future publish the most amazing piece of research ever. But this one is not it. They should realize this and my blog post serves this purpose. If somebody gets offended and takes it personally, so be it. I think people should have a bit thicker skin, especially in science. I took quite a bit of bullshit myself (and I'm sure I will have to take more) and never complained. So relax, read the paper, read the post, learn something from both and go on.
It would not have allowed one to seal the loopholes demonstrated in the article?
Google's "iron grip" seems to consist of making APIs in their open-source product so that as many user-facing parts of the operating system as possible are provided by user-installable and interchangeable apps, instead of something baked deep into the operating system.

I'm not following how that counts as an "iron grip" or monopolistic behaviour.
Would it not have allowed one to seal the loopholes demonstrated in the article?
Yeah, but a substantial amount of problems that are dealt with through computers _do_ require mathematical tools beyond that.

Statistics, for example, appears in any non-trivial computer science problem, like network congestion, analyzing proper parameters for algorithms, probabilities of getting lock contention, distribution of dispatched instructions, audio psychoacoustics, etc.

Computer vision and graphics programming requires a solid foundation of linear algebra and geometry.

In short, those tools are pretty necessary if you want to approach computer science as a science and as a tool for engineering beyond the very basics.

Having multiple managers to answer to can also be quite good. If they know and respect each other, they will try not to give you too much to do because they don’t want to “steal” time from the other guys. For me this results in having only stuff to do which lies in my area of expertise.
>If you use an Android fork

Specifically, if you use an android form that doesn't pass the compatibility test suite. There is no vendor that distributes stock android, not even google. Every OEM maintains a fork from the base android distributed by the android open source project.

The thing you aren't allowed to do is fork android in a way that prevents users from installing android apps.
I don't think your level of dismissiveness is appropriate considering the seriousness of the condition in at least one case I've read about previously:

Isn’t that only true for free accounts? I think if you pay them like $15 (or use the free trial as grandparent comment suggests) they’ll let you message anyone.
It's so weird to me that Google gets all this flack when they made Android open source, while Apple gets none of it and kept iOS closed source and super locked down.

Given that, it's somewhat understandable that they're moving to a more closed model, sad as it is.

The post mocks them primarily for learning the trivial coordinate transform. That is the core of the paper and ridiculing this piece leaves very little left on the table. The ImageNet test is just an appendix, a cherry on the cake, a curiosity one should say.
Without being glib, as well, there are tens of things I do everyday that have a high probability of depositing foreign nanoparticles in my lymph nodes: driving a car, standing next to a smoker, eating food from a production farm, being exposed to paint fumes, etc.

Tattoos may end up being a problem, and more power to those who have no interest or who decide to abstain because of possible issues, but let’s keep this in perspective.
Not about Majorana

I really like the subtitle "Why Fotini Markopoulou traded quantum gravity for industrial design" much better than this SEO/clickbait title, also to avoid confusion.
I know, but the UX is hobbled pretty bad IMO. There's a good chance less-savvy users are turned away altogether...

Good to know. I'm planning on not signing anything for my first release, think I'll stick with that plan. Thanks!
According to your description of the side effects, a full frontal assault most certainly occurred ;)
Agreed. It is marketing with no basis in reality.
This story is totally taken out of context. The rejection was from a PRIVATE university and based on an inability to pay past loans. This is totally within scope of reasonableness.
I'm essentially in a non-structured position in a structured company, and this is extremely true of my role here. When weighing what things I want to work on for the next quarter, how much clout the a project has internally really defines whether or not I'll be recognized for my work. If you're willing to play the game, it makes it easy to be noticed, but it also means that things that should probably be higher priority and demand more attention get put on the sidelines for projects with a high "cool" factor. Maintenance and testing almost always get pushed to the side.
Right, even Rome did eventually fall, but it might not be in your lifetime.
> As for why he does not name Valve directly, Geldreich tells one person that he did not use "the V word" specifically to avoid press.

Trying to avoid press, only to have said press knocking on his door and asking for an interview. Classy.

That being said, it doesn't surprise me a bit. I worked on a startup for a year or so that touted a flat structure. I was lucky to be in the in-group and in the end, our decisions (A couple other senior engineers + me, plus the founders themselves) were the only ones that mattered. Not gonna lie, it was a rather enlightening and profitable period in my life, and when I parted ways I made sure I did so in good terms, but it still leaves me with a slight bad taste in my mouth. Had I not been a childhood friend of one of the co-founders, I'd probably have gotten treated like nothing, or worse yet, not hired at all.

Later on I found out the company had gone bankrupt and the founders had parted ways, probably fishing for that buyout or that VC money they never got. Every once in a while I correspond with the friend that let me in, but we try not to talk about our time in the company.
> Seriously, you don't?

No, I don't. The definition of hypocrisy is "the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform".

He voted for a law that resulted in reduced damages for torts committed in Kansas by Kansas companies but did not reduce damages for torts committed in Kansas by non-Kansas companies, at least in some circumstances [1].

This suggests that his moral standards or beliefs at the time he voted for the law were that out-of-state companies should be subject to higher damages than Kansas companies [2]. (That's a crappy moral standard and belief, but that's not relevant from a hypocrisy perspective).

He later was a plaintiff in a tort case against a non-Kansas company, and asked for higher damages than he would be able to get from a Kansas company. This is not acting in a way that does not conform to moral standards or beliefs that his vote suggests he holds.

The essence of hypocrisy is telling everyone to act one way and then acting in a different way yourself. Here he is acting in the same way the law he voted for allows all Kansans to act, so we cannot infer hypocrisy.

That doesn't mean he should not be criticized strongly. The law he voted for is very bad on two counts. First, by severely limiting damages on torts committed by Kansas companies, it harms those company's Kansas victims.

Second, by having different limits depending on whether it is a Kansas company or not, it means that different Kansas plaintiffs who suffer similar injuries from a tortfeasor in Kansas can face vastly different damage limits depending on where the tortfeasor happens to be incorporated. That's fundamentally unfair.

[1] The injury lawyer blog that was cited just says there is "apparently" a "quirk" in Kansas law, and the cite is just a newspaper article that just says it may have something to do with choice of law, so it is not clear exactly how this thing came about.

[2] I'm assuming that there is some basic competence on the part of the Kansas legislature and their staff that actually prepare legislation, so that when they decided to lower damage limits on torts they knew about this mysterious quirk and knew that they were writing their legislation in a way that would not eliminate it.
so 10,000 years from now they can look at all these nano particles in our bodies as artefacts of our civilization, like we look back at Otzi the Iceman's stomach contents.... ??
"... In Cuba the military literally runs the economy. Many of the hotels you stay in are operated by the Army..."

???

This is just not true. The hotels are run by the party, usually in partnership with some European nation depending on which one you stay at. And believe you me, the Party ain't talking about "sharing" with ANYBODY. Army or No Army.

Now of course this is in the process of changing. Naturally the constitutional reforms will give private citizens some ownership in business, but the Party will still essentially "own" 51% of everything. (And to be perfectly frank, my own bet is that the party isn't going to allow private ownership in the big hotels by anyone else anyway. They don't care if you're the Army, the people, or even the doctors.)

Generals, are just as broke as everyone else in Cuba.

Now...

if you want to talk about where the money is...

let's talk about the jinateras. (Sorry if that offends anyone, I'm just being real about what it's like in Cuba.)
To me, this is akin to finding out what happens to airplanes when their pilots die. If we're wondering about this because they have been dying of asphyxiation at altitude, we'd still learn something if we ran the experiment of shooting them dead at altitude. The conditions aren't exactly the same, but we'll still figure out that pilots are important to airplanes.

The other thing worth noting is that there could be some confusion from the title. It has "aging-associated" in it. The charitable understanding is along the lines of my analogy. The uncharitable, and seemingly popular one, is along the lines of your counterargument, and I think interprets "aging-associated" as "due to or consequent of aging," rather than "due to a cause that is similar on one level to causes that come about by aging."
Clearly "non-hierarchical" is a pr term and the people that work there don't buy the bullshit. From the examples, it sounds extremely hierarchical with the only difference being that the hierarchy is hidden from most employees. I worked at a place like that in sf for a few weeks. It was a giant clusterfuck of clusterfucks. Didn't do anything productive the whole time there. Half the time the internet didn't work and the rest I was required to browse the web and wait around but not allowed to work from home. The server room literally caught on fire. There certainly were bosses and a hierarchy especially at the executive level but we all pretended, as I imagine they do at valve, that there was no hierarchy. Stupid. I left there after being physically hit in the head with a paper ball by some drunk guy before he left to jump in his car and drive home drunk. Got decent severance for being there less than a month. I can't imagine they lasted much longer after that. Flat management just means a hierarchy one can't see and a whole lot of lies to cover it up. I'm amazed valve gets anything done but it sounds like the employees really pay the price for this pr lie.
I think it's because the more restrictive license of the Linux kernel (GPL) vs the more permissive BSD License. What Google is doing technically doesn't violate the GPL but it kinda gets away doing the sort of thing copyleft licenses were intended to prevent. People have been upset at Ubuntu forever too since they started including closed source drivers.
Author of the post here. I totally agree that negative stuff should be published. But without the fanfares. I think they could have changed the tone of that paper and I would not have an issue with it. It is likely that if they did that they'd never go through some idiot reviewer who expects "a positive result" or some similar silliness. This is not a perfect world. The paper as is makes strong claims about the novelty and usefulness of their gimmick. If it turns out your stuff is at least partially hollow and you take on the pompous tone, you have to be ready to take some heat. Science is not about tapping friends on the back (which BTW is what is happening a lot with the so called "deep learning community"). Science is about fighting to get to some truth, even if that takes some heat. People so fragile that they cannot take criticism should just not do it.
I think I’d rather have a closed source operating system that is sold for profit than an open source one funded by advertising.

I don’t think either situation is ideal however, but the iOS motivation seems better aligned with my interests.
That there's other things is meaningless when it comes to the potential dangers of any one of these cases (ie not just tattoos).

It's a matter of the specifics of each case. How much of the substances tends to end up there for each kind of case, what is the nature of those substances, etc.
Would someone be in trouble for saying they changed the name of the project half way through? This would allow me to choose any name instead of just the ones I had come up with earlier.

In any case, genius idea!
Interesting, this is a less common complaint than what I usually hear. It kind of makes sense if you run into this a lot (I don't in C++, but maybe it happens more in C?), but at the same time I'm wondering why can't you just e.g. use -fwrapv if you want to rely on integer wrapping in your release executable? It also doesn't sound like it's related to using a different compiler, since using the same compiler with a flag like -fwrapv or with optimizations disabled should also prevent UB from being exploited.
