I've been looking at costs for having a free service like Freenode, but doing VoIP and images and such. The main problem has been affordable bandwidth with a decent number of cores (8 or so) since nginx improves dramatically with 8 or 12. But at that pricing you end up paying for a dedicated 1Gb/s or 10Gb/s unmetered, when there's not going to be that much bandwidth all the time. Or, you get dumb small limits like 10TB a month egress. Bandwidth and hardware prices today should make it possible to just be charged as you use it. Though I'm not sure if the tech behind allowing live scaling through virtualization has to be home made and therefore real expensive, defeating the savings.

Hey,

I’m the creator, so feel free to ask any questions.

Aecius is a website recommender that works like an algorithmic hackernews. The recommendations are similar to the ones you would get from youtube, except that they are for links and not videos. The core of the recommender selects a set of articles it considers interesting based on your browsing history and then sorts them into topics for you to browse through.

I scraped about 50 million URLs for the database and wrote most of the engine myself. Let me know how you like it.
> Predetermined or random is all the same for the sake of the argument I've made.

Fair point, I was just pointing out the first gap in the logic.

> If "everything is predetermined" then we don't have choices

Pure semantics. You can replace "choice" with "the action that occurs" in the context of my point.

> If free will doesn't exist, then evidence and argumentation doesn't matter -- as those are not the causes that shape our beliefs.

I genuinely don't see why not. Going back to the simple bot analogy, it's conceivable that a bot's "isFreeWillBelieved" field is updated based on the results returned from an "ObserveNature()" procedure. That's all I'm saying.

I think I'm starting to understand your perspective. It's like you're so entrenched in a belief that free will exists that you're clinging very tightly to definitions of words/concepts that somehow presuppose the existence of free will. For example you seem determined that the external state of the world cannot alter our internal narratives unless we have the "free will" to make that alteration ourselves. But to me, this seems to be countered quite straightforwardly by thinking about the bots with their internal belief settings.
> everything is determined at the time the program is written/loaded

Computer can measure random event and do something basing on that.

> is not a free will decision if it's already encoded

Most probably so is our "free will".
An interesting idea! I've long wanted to go through more of his books, and I've also long wanted to learn Coq, so that sounds like an interesting combination.

Yes, but that doesn’t change the inefficiencies I mentioned, which are why it isn’t often done. It is done sometimes - I had a home with such a setup - but you’re much better off dropping a few hundred $$ on a proper whole house fan.

Nope, your users need not have the toolset, that's the beauty of it! It creates binaries compatible with any distribution newer than the machine where you are compiling. E.g., if building on CentOS 6.7, anyone on 6.7+ can run your binaries.

We also have an application stuck on RHEL 6 because of end-users, and I'm happily using devtoolset-7 which gives me GCC 7.x, and quite a bit of C++17 support :)

Edit: My understanding is that it achieves that by statically linking in the "newer" parts of libstdc++.

This is pretty slick. Nice job on visualizing CSS grids and their properties.

There are some really nice touches, like when you drag a grid boundary, it highlights the changing properties in green. I'd love to see that expanded to also highlight when you have an area selected - highlight on the side what rows/columns it is participating in.

There are a few things that would be nice to touch up - when you have a grid area at the top, and you attempt to create a grid inside it, the 'tabs' at the top left and top right get obscured behind the top header. A concept of a document outline on the left might be nice, too, to understand which grid exactly you are editing, when there are nested grids.

This is very cool, though. :)

I've had multiple versions of training like that and I found it really useful. It definitely helps me as a technical manager. A good instructor will tell you that you only start with stereotypes when you have no better information. e.g., "engineers usually like it when you talk to them this way." But if you know that Sally hates it, then you don't do that, you do this instead...

I think that training like this is especially good for engineers because we tend to have a fixed way of interacting with people and often don't notice when it doesn't work. Being taught specific ways to recognize that and tailor your approach is very useful.

This actually is exactly one of those things that can't be taught by an app. Only a real person will say "your tone is off-putting, try saying it this way..."
That's not what I was asking but thanks.

There is a conceptual framing for this hypothesis: that beta-amyloid plaques are akin to the garbage left in the stadium after a big match. The garbage itself is not the cause or raison d'etre of the stadium and its activity, yet it is a negative and fixable side-effect of the main event. I'm sure those who support the tao-hypothesis or some of the other more fringe hypotheses would be in favor of such an explanation.

It's not simply that drugs have failed time and again for Alzheimers. It's a very hard disease to come up with a treatment for. Here are some challenges:

1) It's a hard disease to detect in the earliest stages, where preventative/slowing drugs would have the most effect. If your drug slows decline by 30% but you start using the drug after 60% of the decline has already occurred, your effect size will be much smaller.

2) The blood-brain-barrier is a strong obstacle in our anatomy that prevents the passage of many potentially useful small or large molecules from general circulation into the brain.

3) Our early-stage disease models, things from petri dishes to mice, are less effective for choosing winners in this disease in particular. Maybe due to the complexity of the human neurology, though TBH I'm not sure why this is.

4) Even if you reduce beta-amyloid or other biomarkers, if you can't slow the disease progression/symptoms, then why is your drug useful? It's much harder to provide the slowing or reduction of cognitive decline than it is to simply clean up the beta-amyloid plaques. 4) is a specific case of the general use of "biomarkers" or "surrogate endpoints" - you need to measure SOME outcome, it's hard to do for cognitive diseases, so you find something measurable and look at that, though the linkage to symptoms is not totally clear in many cases.

> Why should Firefox support tabs? Shouldn’t my window manager do that? Why does a browser keep track of history when my operating environment should keep track of a history of things I’ve seen recently - documents, files, URLs?

If my operating system could handle those (and that's kind of a neat prospect, actually, though maybe concerning that the host OS is actively "snooping" on what we're doing in a client application), I'd be totally pleased with the browser being just a host for a web engine. Unfortunately, they don't, so tabs, history, etc. which are fairly integral to the web itself are worth supporting directly within the browser.

Some use RSS, some don't. Some use Pocket or similar services, some don't. I have no issue with these being recommended extensions as they can boost the browsing experience for the user, but I agree they shouldn't be in the browser itself.

Now, if with Chrome/Firefox/whatever they allowed more granular customization of components like tabs such that the tab UI by a hypothetical tab management extension is 1:1 with Safari's implementation, I'd be beyond thrilled.

Isn’t a pass going backward about avoiding a defender they can’t get past?

Useful backward passes fall into at least two categories. The ones that eventually result in an impect, and the ones that run down the clock at the end of the game.

I'm not that familiar with soccer stats, but this section needs a reply:

> A “shutdown” cornerback like Richard Sherman can be a star in the NFL thanks to interceptions, broken up plays and tackles. “Lock down NBA defenders” like Bruce Bowen and Dennis Rodman can prove their worth with steals, blocks and rebounds. Football has goals and assists, that’s it.

Just as in soccer, those "counting stats" are not great measures of defensive ability. The recently retired cornerback Darrelle Revis was regarded as the best defensive player in the NFL from about 2009-2011. Yet he did not rack up interceptions or pass breakups -- in fact, in 2010, he had 0 interceptions and only 9 pass breakups over 13 games. Why? Because the receivers he was covering were never open, so quarterbacks rarely attempted to pass in his direction.

Similarly, steals, blocks, and rebounds are only a vague indicator of defensive ability; it's never a bad thing to get a steal or a block, but if you routinely leave your man to try to poke the ball away from someone else's man, you're likely hurting your team overall. The NBA has been working on developing better stats, including deflections (you get your hand on a pass but don't necessarily come away with the steal) and shots defended (you're within a short distance of a shooter). But Darryl Morey, general manager of the Houston Rockets and a well-known stats nerd, has said in a Reddit AMA that no publicly available defensive statistic is useful.

Part of this is because all three sports in question are team sports, which means a great deal depends on the defensive scheme. You may not block shots, but is it your job to block shots or to stop the ballhandler from getting near the basket? You don't get tackles, but is it your job to get tackles or to funnel the ballcarrier right into the linebackers?

It's extremely difficult for any outsider to determine the defensive effectiveness of a player. The only thing we can offer is guesswork.

I think there's a good reason for the trust as well: mutually assured destruction.

Sure, you can knock out a power grid with seemingly trivial means. But once you do, you're just as shit out of luck as the other guys.

It's pretty much the "too big to fail" scenario. Too much of the infrastructure we've become dependent on is just not worth taking down in an attack. Sure, GPS may have a single point of failure... but GPS is kind of useful for you as well so you don't really want to knock it out. You can't afford to replace it.

It's like these systems are just sitting around saying "Fuck with me and I will burn this whole place to the fucking ground. The fucking ground"

This is a discussion of how it could be improved not what is available in production and certainly not close to being available within a phone - which was the original point.
I found this feature perplexing even when I did use RSS.
Of course there's differences in how the body metabolizes different macros, and I'n not saying that certain diets aren't going to "work" for certain people.

Here's my specific points

1- In many parts of the developed world where food scarcity has been minimized/eliminated, we see increased rates of obesity across all demographics. This is a messy knot of factors that covers everything from social behaviors to availability of nutritious food to education and wealth. If you're going to tackle "why are people so much more likely to be obese than before?" you have a TON of factors to attempt to control for in the decision making.
2- If you're not trying to figure out why people are making their choices, and looking at it from a strictly "how does the body work and is that contributing" the simple answer is: your body more readily converts various carbs into body fat than any other macros (Protein, Lipids, Alcohol), people eat a lot of carbs, and finally most people tend to overeat if presented with more food than they actually need. This is the basic scientific consensus, and explains why your experience with a keto diet was positive. The issue is, as you said, that people are interested in selling meal packages and books and lifestyles and generally getting rich off other people's body image issues/health problems. Carbs play a part of in the obesity spike in recent years, but WHY people eat the way they do is what we need to figure out if we want to solve things.
Cost.

This tech should be bread-and-butter security for enterprises and consumers alike, just like TLS is today. The main reason why it's not is the crazy device cost.

And like the early CAs with SSL in the 90s, Yubico is charging way more for entry than the underlying cost would justify. Based on the teardowns, it looks like they have a 10x or higher markup above standard "profitable" hardware patterns on these devices. Like 90s Verisign charging more for key length, Yubico is selling the security delta. They're free to set their own prices, of course, but that pattern makes real security a luxury rather than an expectation.

What eventually made SSL more than just an enterprise luxury was competition, driving the price down to only $100/cert initially, and eventually lower as volume became a factor.

If Google can bootstrap adoption by bootstrapping price competition, that will encourage more manufacturers to build u2f devices, driving prices lower still. Eventually this tech will become an expectation rather than a luxury.
There's a lot of technology focused on facial recognition, why aren't more focused on trash recognition?

I stumbled into it largely by coincidence and luck. As you could imagine, there aren't many people that study computer science who were also relatively high level soccer players. I'm very fortunate to occupy the very narrow intersection of that obscure venn diagram.

I stumbled across some high resolution soccer data during college and began writing a blog that became popular in soccer analytics circles. The company that produced the data that I was scraping eventually hired me to their data science team. I spent a few years with them before I was recruited to my current team.

I'm a student at the University of Waterloo in Canada. The Canada geese have become a running joke on campus.

They're the most invasive and disgusting birds I've ever seen but their young are cute so people don't want them to get hurt.
You're conflating unintentional actions with involuntary actions, but the two are distinct. It's unfair to punish someone for an intentional but involuntary action. And all actions are involuntary if people do not have free will.
