I remember in Polish computer magazines, they had a validation program. It was a shorter program that you typed in once and ran. Then, when typing in the long "game" code from the magazine, the screen displayed two-letter checksums for each line of codde. The two-letter checksum was also put in the code listing in the magazine, so that you could quickly compare them to find the line that was typed wrong.

It's a Frankentheory - a collection of reanimated theory body parts sewn together. I totally get why physicists want something more elegant.

The problems are social. Financialisation means a lot of smart PhDs get hoovered up by Wall St to do (effectively useless) work as quants. At the same time, pressure in academia - also created ultimately by financialisation - has made genuinely original creative work an extremely risky career move.

So PhD advisors are far more likely to say "Don't do that" when a hot prospect says "I want to explore this unusual thing which i found from way back which no one else is looking at."

And the idea that a patent clerk without a formal academic affiliation could publish papers that transform physics has become ridiculous.

Conversely mainstream ideas of questionable value - like string theory - which should only ever have remained a fringe interest have become absolutely central, because they're a relatively easy way for ambitious PhDs aiming for tenure to produce plausible physics-like content.

Science was working pretty well around the turn of the century. Now there's sand in the gears, and the entire machine is in danger of seizing up.

It is up to the company to "secure" their connection to prevent this type of thing (block some ports that are used to torrent, block websites, ...). We, technical people, know that is such an imperfect law that can be circumvented in so many ways and yet it exists today.
I actually haven’t made a single comment about the validity of climate change in this thread. I have exclusively talked about the chronic issues with climate science communication and it’s propensity to publicly promote outrageous predictions.

The underlying science doesn’t even enter the picture for many people. Because if you spend 30 years saying the world is about to end, then people don’t need to know a single thing about the science, because they know for a fact that the world didn’t end.
A global 4° celsius increase would mean at least a 7-8° increase on continental land which means the end of agriculture on land. This kind of defeats your wishful thinking.

It won't make life on earth's surface impossible. At worst everything largish (plus some other stuff) will die off and open up the environment to new life (maybe a new cephalopod world order?). Remember, all of this CO2 was once in the atmosphere during the carboniferous and other periods. Nature doesn't give a damn about us and will just roll with the punches we're throwing and crush us like it has other times when life totally fucked the environment up.
> The bulk of a 20 million artefact collection would have to be kept in more recently built warehouses

That's not often the case. These museums were built to house these collections, and often include rooms full of drawers, compacting shelving etc with the collected objects. This incudes the basement, but not only the basement.

For example, the Natural History Museum in London has "the majority" of their 80 million specimens stored in the museum in London.

That graph shows percent grow in pay, not the absolute pay. In fact, it notes that at the age of 22 men earn $40,800 while women earn $31,900 (median, in both cases). The difference in growth does not suffice to close that gap, let alone rise women's pay above that of men's.

I don’t think it matters as much if what you do in actuality ends up making a significant difference. What matters is that you did what you could. From the perspectives of future societies, you and I will be blips anyways, so that’s irrelevant. But how can one be contempt with knowing that they didn’t try to make a difference, and that their mark on the world disappears when the energy has left their body and their corpse has been burned and buried, I do not understand, because if you don’t (try to) leave anything of value behind, your existence is practically for nothing, except for maybe even a net negative.

There's many reasons for this, one that's simpler to explain is relative performance.

If sales person A is working a lot harder/smarter/adaptive to get more clients that sales person B. It may lower his morale to see B get the same compensation as him. This affects sales people more than other functions because the output of a sales person is more or less quantified by the revenue they are responsible for generating (exact metric would be different of course).

> In any case, if we look 50 years into the future, who knows what kind of technologies we would be able to leverage to mitigate these problems?

Scientists and technologists that have been warning us that no technological solution will be able to address the climate change consequences, and they've been telling us for several decades which makes it weird that people still do not know about this.

Well there is one potential biotech solution which is engineering a fatal panpidemy that would wipe out almost all humans from the surface of earth as was presented in Texas a few years ago but IIRC the conclusion was that for now this seems to be an unreachable goal as no agents combines all required characteristics for such a pandemy to happen.
why not use the same tactics for developers and others ?
is it because it easy to measure it for sales but not for developers ?
No, people care. But our governments are hugely messed up. Part of this is that they are still fighting the old fights of the 20th century about racism and classism and so on. In the US we're still struggling to get cities to build mass transit and teach evolution in schools. Generally everywhere in every country is still struggling to get the public to concentrate on problems that matter rather than falling for the classic scam of rallying to the cause of hating people who are different.

Climate change is only one problem, there are so many others that fall under the general outline of "act like an adult and take care of your own problems" that aren't being addressed. Flint, Michigan's water, for example, is the poster child for the fact that across the developed world there has been substantial and persistent under investment in municipal water and sanitation infrastructure. So much of the developed world is coasting along on temporary hacks put in place decades ago that are running on borrowed time. Roads and bridges are also under maintained. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

All of these things, and climate change, are solvable problems, we have the wealth and the technology to tackle these things effectively, we just don't seem to be able to organize the work effectively.
I've been quite into retro- computing for a few years, and have started recently to amass a collection of my favourite machines from the 8-bit era .. and one thing I'm really intrigued about is the 'lost tech' of these machines.

I remember for one of these platforms, there wasn't really a great commercial release scene - but there was a great home-hacker scene, with type-ins from magazines and so on ... and I remember having quite a small library of routines and utilities, saved on cassette tape, that could do various things - fast scrolling, tape copying, UNDELETE commands, and so on. But now these things are lost to time (still out there on my cassette collection, wherever it is these days) .. and we have to re-create them.

So now one of my favourite aspects of the hobby is the reconstruction of all the 'cool utilities and stuff' that made the platform great in the 80's. Its not so easy! For some of the obscure platforms, we really have to dig deep .. fortunately though, 8-bit computer magazines seem to have been pretty well preserved on the Internet. Its just now a matter of going through them, spotting the gems for the obscure platform, and re-typing it all in, lol. ;)

But that said, having a variety of 8-bit machines at hand is really a special treat. I always wanted a Spectrum machine, and now its finally affordable. ;P
USB Wifi adapters have been tiny for years, and they have a wireless chip (obviously) and certainly some computation.
Well, I didn't think about it before, so random thoughts - why this way at all? It seems a rather poor allocation of the money (unless you are super-rich relative to where you live). From what I heard, it ain't a cheap 'hobby', ie ladies expect expensive stuff for the 'services'.

Is the youth the biggest draw? From my experience highest quality sex happens with more experienced ladies, it takes them time to come to terms with their body, their visual flaws (all of us has them) etc. and just enjoy themselves.

What about trust? With prostitute, you know you can't trust her being healthy, with these ladies - is the approach the same or you hope she doesn't have 10 similar 'customers' like you?

It probably isn’t but it’s safe to assume that this location was at least around the median in terms of fire risk (this location had probably better infrastructure than the average Brazilian city), so the fact that there might be less risky locations doesn’t change much since you’ll then have places with higher risk, where the collection will have burned down even sooner. Even if you knew the best location with the least hazard, optimally you would still want to move all collections there anyway.

The strategy didn’t work since any strategy was likely deemed for failure due lack of funding, not because it was suboptimal.

Funny that this would be news in 2018 when a year after the paris COP21, at the 2016 COP22 in Morocco the matter was that we were already past the 1.5° goal and we were on course for going over 2° faster than expected which meant a possible increase of 2.5-3°

These estimation were not even taking into account the full picture and things like positive feedback loops.

> I think the people that first encountered computers when they were relatively simple and constrained have a huge advantage over the rest of us

I pity sometimes the young people who are studying computer science nowadays. I studied CS in the 1990s. Compared to a modern curriculum, my courses looked very basic: five years on functional programming, compiler construction, networking, databases, etc. No P2P, cloud computing, mobile applications, IoT, etc.

Now, most CS studies have to rush through the basics in three years, followed by two years where the students have to learn all the tools and techniques that they need for their professional career. I had an entire course ("Advanced topics in databases") on the efficient implementation of indexing and query execution for databases. Today's students have to learn in the same time: a shortened version of the old course PLUS nosql, column-oriented DBMS, DHTs etc.

Sure, but the result is different. Missing out a try/catch will make your program crash/log an error/whatnot when the error happens. missing out a .catch() might put an error in the console sometimes.

Fail fast is an important principle, but in my opinion fail hard is fairly important too. If your program explodes every time a bug happens you're more likely to fix them. If it merely doesn't do the thing it's supposed to it's easy to miss and easier to ignore.
As someone who was also there and did that, I want to reconcile your positions. When you have a look at the archival issues of Your Commodore magazine[0], you'll find both meaningful BASIC code that you can learn from as well as DATA instructions that were mostly useless for us at that time.

That's an interesting point about culture. But then it raises a question - many people here judge others, how they will be resentful and so on if they talk openly about salaries, and they do it based on the culture they are in. But shouldn't we judge people as individuals rather as members of the culture?

In other words, maybe the people who want to talk about salaries openly are sort of "scandinavian" subculture in "californian" culture.. We cannot really judge them from the "californian" vantage point.

It's awesome to a series on Sales from another top venture firm.

For anyone that's looking for similar resources. Here's another awesome series I came across (while searching for YC resources on this topic): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb1c0oEEXWIZiWzdtUOUh...

It was apparently a 'Sales School' for one of the YC batches in 2014. Hadn't heard of Steli before, his videos really give me a lot of energy. He also reinforced my belief that founders have to be great at selling their creation and gave me insights on what it takes to be great at sales.
The thing just is that TI didn't exactly retain the people that know the internals of the OMAP series. If you hit any bugs you're on your own unfortunately. (Your milage with the existing documentation may vary also).
This idea come to me when I saw how my girlfriend wasting time on finding things in which she fall in love in her instagram feed or somewhere in internet. She spent hours of searching but it didn't bring any results. I start to think that I was also faced with the same problem when I was trying to find table to our apartment. Some things on Pinterest were nice, but it was impossible to find them at local shops. Also it was very hard to find small manufacturers who can make it for the order. I have decided that's not very good to waste time on spending money.

TL;DR:
You post what you want to buy or rent - Business and your followers get notifications and make best offer for you
It saves time and money for people who can't or don't want spend time for buying things which they want.

Our problem:
Is to arrive at a certain scale where it becomes interesting for suppliers to actually start spending time on prospects.

Great stuff, there's always more than meet the eyes and that's true even for sales ;)

This being said, slight nitpick on #11 and #12.
Include clawbacks, especially if you're fairly dependent on sales / more geared towards high touch deals.

This obviously goes on hand in hand with reasonable targets.

Otherwise you create an incentive for sales people to make their number in any way they can to meet their ridiculous target / driven by the usual greed.

The hidden cost of that can potentially be huge, especially if your pool of potential customers is -relatively- small.

There's actually a space combat video game which tackles this issue head-on called Void Destroyer.

You can pilot your spacecraft in "easy" mode, where it goes in the direction you point it. However, that severely limits its speed. You can also set it to be in full 6-DOF mode (like the Descent video game series), but that takes a lot more practice to do well, and frankly, the interface isn't suited to that. Mostly because with Descent, you are inside a cavern, so that you maintain a good sense of where you are and what direction you are going. That doesn't work as well in outer space, with less "landmarks".

> Unfortunately, the best replacement we've had to coal up until now (nuclear) has been unjustly demonized by many of the same people that claim to be most concerned about global warming.

You cannot fix the issue with a change of paradigm, switching from fossil fuels to nuclear will not fix climate change simply because if we switched all plant to nuclear overnight we would run out of fuel in a matter of decades.

The only solution is obvious and it is a decrease of energy use to sustainable levels. Do not consume more than what we can sustainably produce is the only possible way.

This means a drastic reduction of population which has only been possible due to a prolonged lifestyle of overconsumption and it will happen whether we want it or not.

The Problems the article lists are correct still today. SPF should not be used to single-handedly decide whether to reject mail.

The Alternatives the article lists reflect the date (2005). Domain Keys and Cisco's alternative merged to become DKIM. DMARC came later.

Today I would suggest for most people to still use SPF but with ? or ~ (tilde), (Neutral or Softfail), and never - (Fail). So it becomes part of the spam scoring and not decider as there are too many false positives with SPF, as highlighted in the article.

Combine it with DKIM and at least initially a reporting only DMARC and you are on your way to a good set up.
