Great point, I agree!

It seems to me that the statement that Wu's experiment holds globally is equivalent to the statement that the universe has an orientation so I now tend to think the universe does not admit one of these orientation-reversing loops.

At first I was surprised that we could apparently draw a global conclusion based on local observations but I've mostly convinced myself now based on the following analogy (which I hope is not misleading).

Imagine we live in a two-dimensional universe and we want to know whether or not it is orientable. E.g., do we live on the surface of a torus or on the surface of a Klein bottle? We have defined a local orientation in the topologically-trivial patch where we live and so are used to speaking of "left-handed" and "right-handed" gloves. The question of whether these words are globally meaningful is exactly the question of whether our universe is orientable.

One day we learn about "colour" and are stunned to discover that all left-handed gloves are red and all right-handed gloves are blue. It seems very unlikely to us that red somehow transitions into blue as we traverse a loop and so we conclude we must live in an orientable universe.
Machine Learning Algorithms are severely racist towards defendants. We know, for example, that AI algorithms mistake Black people for primates... but they are no more racist than the criminal justice system at large. And they have a better chance of getting fixed.

They claim the kind of fiber (ZBLAN) fetches $1M/kg when manufactured on Earth. Looking elsewhere, I see that premium space made ZBLAN because it would be of higher quality could fetch as high as $21M/kg.

Doing some back of the envelope calculations, a SpaceX cargo Dragon can return 3,000 kg to Earth. If they can achieve $1M kg advantage in value that would be $3B. Wow, that's enough to get anyone's attention.

Well... not so sure about that; I think I could probably spin out a reasonable resume bot. I gave the idea some thought; I think the hardest part would be a reasonable-looking work history (which of course would crumble almost immediately), but I suspect it's easier than I think it is.

I may have to take a run at it just for giggles.
Given the continual attitudes seen within tech... sadly, the latter.
Interesting approach, but I am a little confused by the finished maps. For example, on the Queenstown one from top-left: you're going down Gorge, left on Hallenstein to corner of Weaver: one minor hill to overcome. Had you stayed on Gorge to make a left on Weaver, there's a major hill to climb to arrive at the same corner. Is the map inaccurate in respect to heights? Does the perspective skew distances?

I wonder if another approach could be more effective: keep the standard 2D projection, and use something like a colour gradient or vary street width to indicate street slope.

* No way to easily access personal multi-reddits

* Saved/Hidden/Blocked have disappeared

* A lot of information in the subs sidebar doesn't show up anymore (things like related subs, wiki and so on). Now it's limited to rules and welcome message.

The multi-reddits thing is especially problematic to me. If you've subscribed to many subs, it becomes unmanageable without them.

I don't care much for his writing style, but I find it fascinating how Joseph Lstiburek can design a building to handle a certain set of constraints.

> Take an existing warehouse and construct a building within a building using typical commercially available cold room and refrigeration room panels. Pressurize the interstitial space. The pressurization would be done with highly filtered air that is preconditioned. Think direct outdoor air supply (DOAS) supplying filtered dry outside air into the cavity space between the inner and outer buildings. The cavity airspace would exfiltrate through the outer building and infiltrate through the inner building. Solves the winter time exfiltration problem of moist air a typical building would experience. Solves the infiltration of mold spores and male pollen into the inner building – the “grow space” as the infiltrating air would be filtered…all of the infiltrating air would be filtered.

I think you are right, but people think Trump is insane and can't tell if he is bluffing or not.
Buying up government bonds and thus forcing people to invest their money somewhere else had the effect of propping up asset prices but increasing the amount of money in circulation was more the intent of QE. The effect on asset prices was welcome but not really the main point. There's a lot less money than their is investment capital so every dollar printed had a correspondingly larger effect via the unit account role than via the store of value role. Increasing a pool of money from $1 trillion to $2 trillion should have a larger effect than increasing another from $50 trillion to $51 trillion.

And if QE were the whole of the story behind low interest rate I would really expect much higher inflation than what we're seeing.
The way it was done? Problematic to say the least, in every step taken at NYJM:

1. The underground inclusion by a single editor, seemingly bypassing their processes and the other editors

2. The revisions to politicize the paper explicitly (potentially on request of that editor)

3. Lack of context on how and why that paper ended up in the journal even though it's not in line with its normal body of work

4. The silent removal, again bypassing publishing processes (eg retraction)

5. The reuse of the pages taken up by the paper with some other paper. Depending on how this turns out, the new paper will be in the uncomfortable position that its citations are mixed up with citations for another, controversial paper. It might have been better to leave the pages empty except for some explanation about what happened to the paper that used to be there, if only to keep it fair for the new paper.

All around it's a mess.

Why I'm referring to the Intelligencer all the time is that Hill and Tabachnikov wanted to place it in the Intelligencer first, and they likely knew about its standing in the math community, so they probably agree with your assessment of the paper's mathematical value.

At least as told by Hill, NYJM only entered the picture because a mob forced the Intelligencer to give up and then because Rivin turned up, and considered a fast track possible (and then, it seems, doctored the process at NYJM to implement that "quick referee").

I consider mob rule a bigger threat to publishing at large than a one-off weak paper that went in. We have enough of the latter (and while we should strive to minimize them, we could live with one more), but IMHO we need to discourage the former before it becomes the new normal.

Therefore my proposal to publish it somewhere of at least equivalent stature (to the Intelligencer, the original publication the paper should end up in) that offended bilbo0s so much: show the mob that backroom campaigning isn't welcome.

I'd prefer it done with proper processes and a big, fat disclaimer though, not like what apparently happened at NYJM.

You can't make personal attacks on a resume, you can make personal attacks on... a person.

I didn't see anything in this entire thread that was a personal attack. I saw attacks on your idea, because it's deceitful, and I saw criticisms of your resume, which AFAIC, seems pretty valid under the circumstances.

If I write a fake resume generator, it'll be on Github for all to peruse and improve upon--don't know why people wouldn't want to "show their work". It's not like it's going to get a lot of people hired, and even if it did, it'll be rare that they're kept in their position for long.

The reality is that NK has played Trump by fluffing his ego. By making non-committal "desires" and by a few publicity stunts (eg exchanging family visits, done previously), NK has managed to a) defuse the tensions raised by their nuclear developments, b) continue to develop and hold their now nuclear-nation position, c) put the US administration in the position of having to "lose face" when negotiations fail, and d) now have "equal nation" status with the US in negotiations, completely defanging the 6 nation approach that has been the US policy for containment of NK.
The Commons Clause is a cancer to open source. It is as much as saying: You can use our software however you like, unless you charge someone to host and maintain an environment that runs our software.

In other words, it stifles one of the most powerful tools for increasing the market penetration of open source.
Artistic activities might be a good option. That could be anything like painting, model airplanes, needlepoint, graphic design, interior design, to drawing. It will use a different part of your mind, generate a new skill and hobby, help you focus on something else, and can be totally offline if you want it to be. Plus if you end up doing a lot of whatever it is, you can sometimes sell what you're making.
> So you are experiencing zero-g, not 0 gravity.

You’re doing it, too. “g” is the acceleration due to gravity. Heck, scientists call drop tower experiments “microgravity” — it’s much less of a mouthful than “really quite a good approximation of free fall”. [0]

And if you believe in general relativity, LEO is a perfectly valid reference frame with no acceleration due to gravity (ignoring drag) but plenty of second order effects thrown in.

Just requested mine! I'm not ready to abandon GitHub just yet- I use it for the "Hub", not the "Git" and this sort of change is just the kind of thing I'd like to see more of- let's hope some of these ideas get integrated into GitHub itself.

I'm still optimistic that Microsoft will be keen to make some quality-of-life improvements when they take the wheel, as a show of good faith.
Hopefully it's apparent because of the extremity of the comparisons being made here (a production SQL Server deployment is more expensive than a Qt seat, yes...) how high Qt's per-developer cost is today.

In my naivete I would have said a decade ago that a single author of traditional shareware-type stuff should just include their source code. After seeing what happened to the Paint.Net guy, people taking his work and just renaming it (as well as removing credit and license info) and reselling it, I'm afraid closed source is still the way to go if you want to not get ripped off while distributing Windows consumer software. So the high cost of the Qt license becomes relevant there.

It's fine, it's their right to price their software however they like, etc etc. It's just a scary commitment if you want to experiment with putting a small product out there.

> Qt more expensive than Visual Studio Ultimate?!?

They're just calling the top VS tier "Enterprise" now. The subscription version of VS Enterprise (which includes office and Windows all the way back to XP) is $3k a year now.
The very notion of the present Internet is grounded on the network infrastructure that is formed through ISPs. Everyone needs a gateway and a 'bus' to reach the desired end-point. Most ISPs still limit the upstream bandwidth for consumers and charge a premium making it a friction point. In a way the centralization is just a logical outcome of such 'rationing'.

Distributed network will even more depend on the ISPs due to self-serving nature.

Perhaps the 'decentralized' web should also address the very foundation of the network - the network infrastructure and access to it.

Does Internet need to depend on the ISPs?
If the cooling can be done sufficiently quickly, it would be cheaper to make this stuff using a technique that Corning (maker of about 13% of all glass fiberoptics) has used for quite some time: producing it at the top of a tower and letting it drop and cool in free fall.

"Algorithms are racist" ha!
This seems to run counter to the idea that Google wants to promote democracy. Hell or high water, if a country has stifling civil liberties, a company with real principles in cultivating discourse and democracy would stick to their guns regardless of local laws.

In this case, it looks like a simple case of complying with local laws to continue to growing their bottom line. It’s why we can’t believe Silicon Valley when they say they want to cultivate discourse and democracy. They don’t. They want to make money. When the two coincide with one another, that’s great. When they don’t, profit is more important than freedom. That’s why we can’t trust private enterprises to act in the best interests of society.

Don't accuse me of being a Russian shill, I'm the opposite. But isn't this a local law in many countries?

"The laws prohibit political campaigning within 24 hours of an official poll."

We have a similar law in most of Canada, I think. No advertising just before Election Day. In some provinces, the blackout includes the day before an election (Ontario, for example).

Interesting that for national elections, Canada doesn't allow advertising on Election Day itself, but specifically exempts internet ads that were placed before Election Day. So if you uploaded a video to youtube before the blackout, you don't have to remove it.

The question here is whether Google also removed other Russian party ads from YouTube as well.
Full disclosure, I am a homeowner and while I agree with the overall message I can also, fully say, it depends. We bought our apartment in a building where 75% of the residents are renters. We live in an Alpha- city [0] in a one of the few affordable buildings you can still purchase in. Everything else is luxury flats starting in the $500s with $1k+ building charges. For the last year renters have paid less than us after PITI + building charges. This changed in the summer and now the renters are paying more than we are in housing.

The city we just moved from I would say is better to rent. Even our city I would say is better to rent. But renting does not prevent buying. While renting, put in the footwork and find something to buy. if you are buying to rent be able to purchase 4 or more units.

I'm worried less about the missed investments than the rising cost of living in major cities.

Do mind that the state of LEDs isn't that of 5 years ago. There are affordable and rock solid LED lights available right now.

Taking the IKEA LEDARE bulbs as an example: They provide a pleasant warm light --though slightly colder than incandescants it's much better than most fluorescents-- and they have a color rendition index to match.

In addition to that they have no perceptible flicker, turning the light off leaves a solid 3-4 second afterglow so there's clearly a beefy enough capacitor in that power supply.

Sure there are crap bulbs available, and it's hard for the average consumer to pick the good ones from a lineup. but clearly your assertion that $10 bulbs are by definition no good is incorrect.
That's not a Hindu belief, and is an overly modern reading of Hindu mythology.

Just like Hindu/Indo-European notions of asparas/wood-nymphs doesn't imply the existence of and rationalization of a tribe of forest women, this isn't really a belief among Hindus about a former state of monkeyhood.

Ancient people simply believed in literally supernatural/estoeric things - they weren't "secretly" technologically advanced with a strange vocabulary we now read as religious.
I think inverted yield curve is interesting. In my simplistic understanding, isn't it just a global bet that short term yield is going better than the long term based on investor sentiments. So in essence, when the inversion happens, the smart money is on a downturn/recession. I believe that the 10 year bond and the 2 year bond yield have been close recently feeding fears of an inverted yield curve and recent talk of a downturn.
It's hard to say how much is reduction in risk vs increase in capital vs bubbles deflating. The stock market has seen a massive influx of capital from 401k's, but this is mostly new money without nearly as many people with 401k's in retirement.

Over the next 30 years that balance shifts. As people will be taking more money out of the stock market due to cashing in 401k's than they put into the stock market which will have significant impact.

> unique permanent addressing for immutable documents and source data

This would make _so much_ sense for programming.

If you copy a function from stackoverflow, or from github, or from a gist, or whatever, you always know where it came from, who wrote it... instead of "copying" where the code is now yours to maintain, you "refer" to it, you "include" it. No-one can tamper with the inclusion, because it is based on some kind of safe cryptography.

Wouldn't this be a great alternative/addition to apis and libraries? It would allow us to include random functions and snippets from any other codebase without ever having to worry about dependencies suddenly breaking everything with updates.
No he hasn't signed a new NAFTA deal with Mexico. He signed an MoU with an outgoing Mexican President. Canada has also continued to refuse to engage with the US on further NAFTA negotiations, given the offensive tariffs for "national security" that Trump has imposed.

The agreement was about tariffs between the US and Mexico (not Canada) regarding automobile parts and assembly and relative wages.

"Conversely to your comment, I find that -if this paper really represents the state-of-the-art- then the state-of-the-art is extremely limited."

The state of the art in robotic manipulation is extremely limited (the state of the art in robotic locomotion is also extremely limited, but somewhat easier to paper over - simplified special cases get you farther in locomotion than in manipulation). IMHO, the layer of robotic control systems above servo control, but below spatial reasoning is an enormous hole in the field's research portfolio. We've got pretty decent machine vision at this point -- still not up to human standards, but improving rapidly. We've got excellent servo control laws. We've got good planning and scheduling techniques. What we don't have is techniques for robustly and rapidly performing dexterous motion planning, particularly where the contact forces with the environment are an important part of the problem.

I was at Robotics-Science and Systems this year and heard a talk by Sergey Levine, one of the handful of researchers addressing this topic. He put up a picture of IBM Deep Blue playing Garry Kasparov. He pointed out that there was no robot in the picture -- there was a human moving Deep Blue's pieces around on the board. The point was that we are now in a strange place in robotics: the hardest part of playing a grandmaster--level chess match isn't figuring out the moves. It's reaching out and picking up the pieces.
P2P File sharing services like LimeWire, kazaa, torrent... had acceptable search experience before being sued to oblivion.

Even if lawsuits didn't kill p2p networks, Virus / safety concerns would have. Imo, trust is a bigger issue than discovery, hence need for curation - centralization.

The reputation system of thepiratebay makes it my primary torrent site.

Laziness, convenience is more of a trust than a search issue.

Many uploads are viruses/adware/ransomware masquerading as movies, books, games...

This necessitates multiple downloads - it's frustrating. I remember downloading several gigs of rar and encrypted .avi movies files, only to be greeted with a message asking me to fill a survey to get password.

Yify - a reputable source eliminated this concern for movies.

If decentralization works out, I believe specialized search engines will emerge.

But note, trust is the bigger issue than search or content discovery for decentralization. If not, iTunes store, app stores and other walled gardens would have long failed.
