Is it possible to get the best of both worlds?

1) Advice from a variety of sources.

2) Not being slowed down by all of the advice.

My impression from the article is that this usually doesn't happen in practice, but I can't help thinking that it is very doable in theory.
> built almost exactly the same thing in 2009 (at the peak of 'hyperlocal' hype)

In 2009, there was around 25 million smart phone users. We will close out this decade close to 3 billion. That is half the world with a geo-location based device in their pocket which grabs their attention for hours each day.

The peak may have been Pokemon Go, or maybe we aren't even there yet.
Except that, statistically, most baby boomers in the USA have zero to little saved for retirement, and can't afford to retire, and so they keep working.
Nice. What I have noticed is the younger kids get out of the app. Then the parent has to go back into the app and press play again. (over and over). Not sure if there is a lock screen more where the kid can't mess up the controls.
>I prefer to set vm.overcommit_ratio=0 and then increase vm.vfs_cache_pressure to somewhere between 400 and 10000 depending on the server role, then set vm.min_free_kbytes, vm.admin_reserve_kbytes and vm.user_reserve_kbytes higher based on the amount of ram in the system using a simple formula."

I understand vm.overcommit_ratio=0 but can you elaborate on what the net effect of setting all the rest of of these tuneables to these values is? What does this achieve and how do these work together?

>"For systems that are ephemeral, I also set vm.panic_on_oom to 2 so that they self heal. Avoid doing this on databases."

I'm guessing this triggers a reboot for you when the OOM evicts a process? Do you do this in conjunction with the above setting? Or is this an alternative?
Yeah, about 25 years too late for that. 10 years too late to be frontier days for the web.

You're drinking the kool aid on this one, it is about money, the whole electronics industry (and others) runs on the basis that you will replace your goods regularly. Apple has strong brand loyalty and many customers that will buy every upgrade, they are just shifting the rest of the repurchase curve up. They have never had a good reason for all their proprietary cables either, well other than gouging for them.

Oh your 2 year old laptop is broken? That's old tech anyway, you should buy a new one!

It wasn't long ago that we didn't even have video, before that we didn't even have pictures. You had the option of believing or rejecting one or more accounts. You also had the option of suspending your belief/disbelief until you felt like corroborating evidence swayed you one direction or the other. Personally speaking, I'm often surprised at how certain people are about the information they ingest.

It reminds me of Daniel Kahneman's book "Thinking Fast, Thinking Slow" where points out that people more likely to read a paper critically if it uses a bad fonts, poor layout and some typos. It's not a ground-breaking conclusion, but the studies also implied that people tended to read papers less critically when they looked good. The idea is the mind has the tendency to substitute out critical thinking with heuristic thinking whenever it can. If a paper superficially resembles serious paper from a well-respected journal, there's a real temptation to ease up on the scrutiny because many other signals are suggesting your enhanced scrutiny is a waste of time and energy.

I can't say for sure if our reliance on video and photographs over the last 100 years or so had helped or hurt our critical thinking. It's very easy to argue the hard work of photographers have been critical to bringing important issues and events to our attention. On the other hand, you can argue an over-reliance on images have stripped us from engaging our imagination.

I know in a world of fake news, it would seem like the last thing we need is to engage people's imagination. When we hear the word imagination, most of us think about the skill the lets one fabricate novel stories or alternate realities. We don't think about imagination as a tool that people use to try to figure out our reality. A vivid imagination not only knows how to fabricate alternate realities, but it also knows how to incorporate information from the senses, books, articles and information to test and consider different world views. We need people who can absorb information about how the world works, and can project possible realities as well as many possible futures.

I know I'm going long on this comment, and I don't want to come off as an optimist, but maybe we can use the advent of fake video to cultivate a culture that stops trusting passive sources of information (video) and begins to engage healthy critical thinking instead.

I could be way off the mark and would love to hear someone tell me what I'm missing.

I kind of agree that you will have to be a racist first to act like a racist while on Ambien.

Saying that (and not trying to be flippant about the previous statement, or the follow statement), I hope Roseanne can find an alternative to whatever she was prescribed Ambien for.
I'm surprised it's even legal honestly. I see so many horror stories. Worse yet, they're so unpredictable. Not just "it hurt my liver", they're what you described. Zombies in real life. Crazy.
My experience is that some people in academia really have minimal idea of what the world outside it is like. They literally can't imagine anything different and certainly haven't experienced it.
>How do we know that the third-party teams hadn't previously seen these videos?

The best third-party repairers are vastly more advanced than Apple's own warranty repair service. They're constantly pushing the limits of what is considered possible in SMD rework. None of these videos would have provided any useful information to them.

iFixit are rank amateurs compared to companies like G-lon, REWA and ZXW. The fact that Motherboard praise them as "incredible" is frankly embarrassing.
> ...When they play with each other as children John usually wins when they wrestle and Jim usually wins when they play basketball...

No, this is still genetic causation (and something like this story is usually what is invoked for why the heritability of intelligence increases with age: more intelligent people seeking out niches which then encourage intelligence further rather than preferring to veg out in front of the boobtube, leading shared-environment to disappear while the permanent ongoing influence from genetics leads to heritability increases).

What's the definition of causation? It's a 'difference which makes a difference', or in Pearlean terms, if you reach in and do surgery on one node in a causal network, the counterfactual difference.

So in your basketball example, what if we reached in with CRISPR, say, and edited just the genes for builds in John to make him taller/leaner? What is the counterfactual of our intervention on the node of genes? As he grows up and becomes taller/leaner, now he still likes winning and playing with his brother is an even challenge, so he joins the basketball team along with Jim and they do well and keep playing and so on and so forth and your basketball PGS predicts less or no difference between them (since we caused them to have the same relevant genes) and indeed there is less or no difference; and if we had instead edited the other way, it'd go the other way etc. Thus, causation. That the causal pathway of the genes goes 'outside the skin', as some people put it, makes no difference that makes a difference for this particular question.

(A similar point applies to the 'nature of nurture' findings mentioned in Lee et al 2018 and the two earlier papers. Are they genetic causation? Yes, because if you counterfactually changed the genes and nothing but the genes, you would get different outcomes. They are differences which make a difference. They are, however, causal on things you didn't expect - eg edits in children would cause gains in grandchildren rather than the children.)
The max speed in service for HSR is usually around 300-350km/h, or 200-220mph. The speed records for trainsets that are in service (as opposed to setups that are designed to push the speed envelope) is about 400km/h or so, although France has pushed special TGVs past 500km/h.
Sure it's not good that we still have a coprocessor running a proprietary blob, but it's not known to have the ability to use your network card.
Spain were also involved, at least in the bombing campaign against Serbia. It's pretty easy for a government to take one point of view when creating a problem and the other when addressing it. You might as well ask why the US would try to undermine the Taliban.
closing the lid doesn't mute the sound as a hardware switch. Lots of sounds will continue to play through the closing of the lid, including sounds for video.

For an example of when capacitive touch wonts work but the laptop would, simply get your finger a little bit wet.

The scenario I'm imagining is opening your computer only to discover that had closed it in the middle of a youtube video or something the night before, and it just continues playing where it left off. A crime of the highest order in OS design, to be sure, but hardly a rare occurrence.
The board generally controls everything, including who the chairperson is. Founders should maintain board control as long as possible, hopefully until they leave voluntarily. They're the least likely people to destroy the company. They're the most qualified to run it (having created it) and the most incentivized not to destroy it (owning a large part of it).
How do you propose such statistics be collected if these people have given up and are no longer looking for a job and are no longer receiving unemployment benefits? I assume this is why the unemployment rate doesn't include these people and therefore doesn't ever reflect reality.
If you don't take into account cooperation, complex communication, and the ability to abstract (e.g. a rock isn't just something to step over, it's also a potential weapon and when many are combined a dwelling, bridge, etc.), then your observation has merit.

We're a relatively weak, slow animal. We don't see well at night. Our teeth and nails are fairly useless from a hunting or even defensive perspective. We don't procreate quickly and our young mature slowly. Our survival advantage is working in coordinated teams and having flexible minds with respect to the world around us. Cats are closer to what you described.

Not this anti-PhD negative nonsense again! It doesn't ring true to me at all.

> You live off a meager stipend for about a decade

I paid a mortgage, supported a family, and built savings while doing my PhD with no issue.

> and then, in your mid-30s, you go on the job market for the first time.

You don't appear on the job market like a newbie. By the time you graduate you should already be well-known enough in your field that you have a reputation, a track-record and several good options. My first job after my PhD was building my own team in industry. It's not like starting a new-grad job.

> Unless you're somehow in the top 0.1% of your field

If you're not in the top 0.1% of your field you shouldn't be doing a PhD in the first place.

> you're probably going to be fighting for a tenure-track positions at any institution that will take you

Why do you assume everyone wants to be in academia? I'm not even sure a majority go into a PhD wanting that. I never did.

> Meanwhile your peers are well established in their careers

Working on a PhD is establishing yourself in your career. But with 1-1 mentorship and a lot of time and space to grow, work with a lot of different people, travel to meet the important people in the field, learn to talk and present your ideas. It's the best way to establish your career that there is.

> have families

You can build a family while doing a PhD just fine. I did. Do you think they bad PhD students from dating or something?

I wasn't even a particularly good PhD student, or at a particularly prestigious institution, and I managed these things.
> I've been involved in aerospace for quite some time.

That's nice; not all engineering is aerospace and not all aerospace processes are always appropriate everywhere else.

Even in aerospace, still I don't want to write code that depends on knowing exactly how the compiler works. I will write code mostly to the language spec. Then treat the compiler as a black box: obtain the object code, and verify that it implements the source code (whose own correctness is separately validated).

Safety is not treated the same way regardless of project. For instance, an electronic device that has a maximum potential difference of 12V inside the chassis is not designed the same way, from a safety point of view, as one that deals with 1200V.

> It is not about being allowed at all.

> They typically fail as devising such structure safely from low level code is a really hard problem.

I took the phrase "being allowed to" as meaning "it is known to be safe to", in which case you seem to be agreeing with the parent (i.e. it's usually not allowed AKA it's usually not known to be safe).

Ambien is serious stuff. It works and people take it because some sleep is better than no sleep but a large subset of them have serious side effects. I'm not talking about the litany of 'standard' side effects you hear in RX commericals, I'm talking about weird shit. Black outs, sleep sex, voices, hallucinations, etc, it's not something to be trifled with. I'm terribly surprised it isn't more regulated than it is.

Get ready for the next big disruption in the cloud: serverless computing
The issue is with storing your TOTP secret in the same store as your password. The idea of using MFA is that multiple secret stores must be compromised in order to grant access to a service.

If you put your TOTP secret on your phone (or Yubikey), then both your TOTP secret store (that is your phone or keychain) and 1Password store must be compromised in order to gain access to your account. TOTP is useful in this scenario.

If you put your TOTP secret in 1Password along with your site password, then only your 1Password store needs to be compromised. This is the scenario where TOTP becomes pointless.
Could you expand on what you meant by "just think of Climate Change"
The use case I gave is: You lost your backups and your main, now what? You're done. Firesale on your life or business. Backups are something everyone has to contend with in any situation, but it isn't one that has been completely solved in the security industry yet in a way that is acceptable or uniform in any way. The average user just doesn't have a clear system for providing a high level of protection for both their security and ensuring they have redundancy in their life or livelihood.

There are lots of different ways to skin a cat but no one has established a definitive solution or made it easy or obvious. Something like a YubiKey is only one part of a solution, and without something more you are at risk. Or, perhaps there's a way to create an encryption with redundancies built in so you're never in that situation to begin with. What if the concept of a backup was built into the key exchange and losing your original didn't necessarily lock you out.
It's funny because I see it the opposite way: the problem with the nano is you'll want to leave it in all the time, which reduces your practical security. I go out of my way to keep the security key on my physical keychain; I don't even like leaving it in my bag, where it might get stolen along with the computer.
Thanks, that's a great tip although it sounds extremely boring. I spend most of my time juggling with philosophical or abstract thoughts, planning the business and working on projects. Doing something which isn't intellectually rewarding sounds like a challenge.

Apple that was once a long time ago had a good rep with the DIY community. Now you hear about them filing lawsuits against repair shops, refusing to sell parts to anyone, slowing down older phones so you have to buy new ones, gluing keyboards to batteries and charging $200 to replace a laptop battery.

Think about this what brands of car are there that aren't sold to DIYers. Tesla? We are in a long term trend whereby more and more things are non repairable trash that last less and less for no real good reason. Its irresponsible, hostile, and stupid. Can you imagine if we had cars that after 3-5 years died and had to be scrapped and we dismissed the matter as foo brand isn't for DIYERS that think you ought to be able to fix your car.

Fascinating. A lot of the on-chip photonics stuff has the potential to make huge impacts on other research areas, too - but the potential for significant architectural changes in HPC and even hypervisor workloads with improvements to in-machine/cross-machine buses is huge.
You have to work out a system, then, to figure out who pays to employ the people doing unprofitable work. Not as easy as it sounds.
Before people started storing their TOTP secrets in desktop applications so they could auto-fill them in their browsers, this question used to be the front line of the 2FA opsec wars. I was a lieutenant in the army of "if you want to back up 2FA secrets, just enroll two of them; a single 2FA secret should never live in more than one place". I think that battle is already lost.

Lots of reasonable people back up their secrets, or even clone them into multiple authenticator applications. I try not to.
Is there mail client integration now, too?

That was the big missing link the last time I tried them... the inability to accept and/or reply on meeting invites and handle both the email and the calendar part. I was always able to view my calendar from linux, and could even edit/update personal calendar events, but I always had to fall back to windows or web to handle meeting invites. Pretty much everyone who uses O365 calendar is going to be using emailed invites and they need to work to make this a solution, but I never saw much traction on addressing that issue.

People read on iPads by the pool or lake or on a boat all the time. There's a good reason to make it waterproof.

Re: the stereo speakers. The iPhone uses the earpiece as one speaker and the bottom speakers as another, so when it's on its side and you're watching Netflix, sound comes out of the top and bottom. The iPad (except for the iPad Pro) only has speakers on the bottom, so when you're using the Smart Cover and watching Netflix, all the sound comes out the bottom. On a device far larger than the iPhone, this really makes a difference.

I don't think a device needs to be a slate in order to be worth writing on. Scribbling notes is easier on an iPhone since you can hold it in your hand, and since you have unlimited pages the increased size of the iPad doesn't matter.
