I have a Nokia. I think keys to unlock most new models are available from Nokia (was in my news a week or two ago.)

BTW: my phone was super cheap, like less than USD300, no strings attached. It is great for most of what I use: mail, hn, local news, signal, slack, telegram.

It's also part of the android one program so I expect it to receive updates faster than my old phones.

The camera (or the camera software) has some real problems though: it's not as good as my older samsung S7 and it sometimes freezes.

Maybe the slightly more expensive models have better cameras, mine was about the cheapest reasonable phone I could get.

The problem with ad-driven content is that the content is no longer 'pure' -- it is optimized to maximize eyeballs rather than serve its purpose (e.g. news is meant to keep readers up to date with current affairs they're interested in, art and literature is meant to, well, do what art and literature do). When these things are driven by the desire to maximize advertising revenue, they take on a completely different quality.

Princeton tuition was 26K in 2001. It is now 45K. That's 3% growth in tuition, cutting into your estimate.

The current growth is already being spent to fund the university to the tune of ~4-6% [1].

So, if you take that source away, tuition would likely have to pick up the slack.

Care to rerun your numbers adding this all in?

What exactly is the benefit of replacing Red #40 with red cabbage extract?
Successful innovation by growing or established companies are examples of this — one of the superpowers of scale is being able to devote large amounts of capital to essentially new ventures without having to return to the capital markets incrementally and therefore pursue growth incrementally. Eg Apple. I would say this is the main advantage of scale.
A foreign entity could use data about the company you work for, found in emails and texts, to disrupt the market. This could eventually lead to a market crash or businesses going under, etc. costing you a job and income.

Extreme example, I get it, but I can’t imagine it is too far from a real scenario.

I still believe though that China (and, in fact, the US itself) would have much more at stake if the US discovers that the supply chain has been compromised, given its enormous manufacturing interests and how this might be used to justify certain trading policies, whereas the US (and Israel) had, in comparison, almost nothing to worry about Stuxnet being traced back to them. This is the main reason I believe that if this was real it would have been incredibly rash from the Chinese, unbelievably so. Then again, it would also be extremely damaging to Bloomberg's reputation if it wasn't.

There are several points to the blog post, but I think the main point you are missing is this: CRAM represents (as do other things, like BAM) prior art that calls the new patents into question. Still inconclusive for the moment, but the question has been raised, and your answer does not address it.
Serious question:

How would a Post-Capitalist Silicon Valley be different from today?

And what if everyone in Silicon Valley started practicing shamanism?

And/or anarchism?

What things would companies measure instead of or in addition to money & attention?

What if tech leaders & workers joined together in saying "We peacefully revoke consent to be governed this way and request immediate transformative justice." (Or something more effectively worded than that)
Why is ad targeting "terrible"?
Mostly agree.

Sadly as we've seen recently companies exist that are shady enough to both charge the user and collect data without asking at the same time.

So I guess the rule of thumb is true and I'll still look for paid services, but even then I guess we should be careful.
The point of the article is that that is a popular opinion.

Whether it's an informed opinion is another matter.

No, it can lead to a protected bubble of indoctrination and propaganda spreading efficiently without any countering - which then spreads into the real-world, where real clashes and violence is materialized. Even if the populations were on both or could both move to their own isolated islands, eventually a bad actor is likely to try to take control for their own benefit (and then perpetuated, whether by something like a military-industrial complex, or other); and when land isn't an issue then populations can stay separate enough, however yeah, someone always seems to want more and invade, and so at minimum you have to plan to protect against such potential threats - and without using fear tactics to control or manipulate a population.
The display on that model is remarkable for a low-end device.

A solid alternative would be a Moto E5 Plus. A more stock/typical Android experience, with a huge battery. It has another gigabyte of RAM, which should be a tangible upgrade.

You could get an LG Stylo 4 for a little more, but it has lesser build quality and the display is so-so.

I don't think either will get many updates though. The LG will probably receive a few security updates, the Moto might die without ever receiving another update.

There's the Samsung J7, which will receive 5x the updates as the LG and Moto combined, and even might get major version updates, which neither of the aforementioned will receive -- definitely no major version updates for the Moto, but is not totally unheard of for LG's low-end, just unlikely.

I've not used the J7 though. Probably similar performance, just the dunno about the display. Samsung definitely has a far better track record for security updates that either LG or Moto.
I grew up in the Ottawa region. One of my closest friends, his Dad lost his job, his pension[0], and the entire local IT market crumbled. The guy became a carpenter I believe- which is awesome- but starting over when you already have teenage kids is really tough.

Hm, odd definition of superior, but I work at a place where levels are secret and titles only reflect function.
FWIW this response is an appeal to authority.

I was in a closely related field, and I'm familiar with the work of Cosmides, Tooby, Pinker and a few others. I also knew their students and saw how the sausage is made.

In my experience, Wilson is right. Many of these labs were not doing science. They were doing advocacy, and it showed in the way they designed studies and shelved data.

Not long after I was in school, major labs pushing this approach at Harvard and Yale had major data manipulation scandals.

Independently of this, they also had an animus against statistics that I don't think is befitting of an empirical science.

I haven't read the Wilson, Nowak, and Tarnita paper so I can't comment on it.

But from what I saw of this camp, I would be very skeptical of an appeal to authority.
We watched it too - and since I worked on the fight deck I saw it many more times.

How the Forrestal fire was handled is a case study in how to do it wrong and the high number of casualties was the very sad cost of how poorly prepared the crew were.
I don't think its that easy in this day and age, at least in the US. I graduated from college with almost no student debt because my parents (teacher dad, mom didn't work, three kids) were super frugal and helped me a lot. 10 years later I still feel like I had such an unfair advantage, with friends STILL paying back their loans. Toss in healthcare costs, I don't think its as simple as "skipping vacations and living in a cheap apartment". A lot of it seems to boil down to the financial support around you from friends/family/partner both past and present.

And I don't disagree with the statement "You can achieve a lot with just a few people and a little money.", but I think it's missing an asterisk. (always exceptions though)
What are you saying here?

Are you saying that their plans were adequate? Clearly they weren't; they lost at least a handful of irreplaceable planes.

Or are you saying that there was just no way to predict or prepare for a hurricane hitting an airbase right in the middle of hurricane country? I mean, a lot of hurricanes roll through that part of the country.

the airworthiness of 55 aircraft divided between two squadrons,

My "evaluation" is what the article says. Namely, that the planes left behind weren't airworthy. If you know otherwise, let's hear it.

I'm no military brain genius, but it seems obvious to me that at any given time less than 100% of the planes at any given airbase would be airworthy and that perhaps some provision should be made for sheltering or evacuating these planes if a hurricane rolls through this base which, again, is located in a very hurricane-prone region.

O&M/MILCON budget of a training base

I'd think that the cost of making sure you don't lose a billion dollars worth of fighters every time a hurricane rolls through a hurricane-prone area probably costs less than, I don't know, a billion dollars.
I couldn't agree more; as I said, the record is dire and where it's been seen to work I think a counter factual can be constructed that could have produced as good or better results. That's not to say that the IMF couldn't do far better, just not by using the formula of fail that they've stuck to for the last fifty years. Greece is going to be the proof point for me - all of the pain no gain at all. I give it eighteen months.
I liked the "projection" thing. Seems very true and effective.
Thirded. IMO movies/shows for English-speaking should either use the native language of their setting accompanied by subtitles, or just speak English in whatever disparate accent the actors normally have. So many productions are diminished by Americans doing poor British accents, British doing poor American accents, both of these poorly imitating their own country's other regional dialects, etc. Though sadly at this point I don't think we'll ever break free of the "everyone in generic fantasy settings must speak in a modern British accent" trope...

From Albania here, (2nd world European country, aka still developing).

Due to its mediterranean weather (1), everything raised locally tastes better. Local food is full of flavor, and things made artisan-ally and locally are still good. Even something simple like a 'Tiramisu' tastes better there, most likely because things are still made to be consumed within a day, and not last for ages. Other countries are similar (Greece, Southern Italy, Croatia, Macedonia).

eg. The difference in taste between a home made jam, and one bought in a supermarket is huge. (mainly for the supermarket one having to have a much longer shelf life, and having additives added).

Unfortunately modernization has reached the country and things are getting more 'standardized' and getting that western level of blandness as well.

Ironically: Fresh locally produced and prepared food is a real luxury in western countries, and a normal commodity in poorer ones.

1) Warm weather is important. eg. Hothouse/greenhouse tomatoes or cucumber are never as flavorful as field raised and ripped ones. The more north you go, the blander/crappier the food gets, mostly due to the weather.

Pixar - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixar

"..the Image Computer never sold well.[21] Inadequate sales threatened to put the company out of business as financial losses grew. Jobs invested more and more money in exchange for an increased stake in the company, reducing the proportion of management and employee ownership until eventually, his total investment of $50 million gave him control of the entire company."

I highly recommend reading 'Creativity, Inc. - Ed Catmull' which talks about how Pixar was formed.

If anti-matter has anti-gravity, then the next question to answer is why do photons obey normal gravity?

Are there anti-photons? (Presumably only anti-matter can make them.) Or is matter special because it matches photons gravitationally and thus answers the question of baryogenesis.

That second option leads to some very interesting implications for stars made of anti-matter. Any photons they make would be "shoved" away from the star - but where does that energy come from?

The first option means there are photons we can not detect (only anti-matter can make them, so only anti-matter can see them). That would imply there is an entire second universe out there overlayed on this one (at least photonically overlayed) that we have never seen, except gravitationally.

But during annihilation events which type of photon would be produced? Both? Randomly one or the other?

Finding that anti-matter has anti-gravity would open an absolutely enormous list of questions. It's not as simple, as OK, anti-gravity - every other part of physics would have to change as well.

Not that this will make you feel better but the camera module (unless you’re suggesting they disassemble it, replace the glass, and glue it back together) has a raw part cost of $35. [1] Factoring in R&D, etc, a reasonable retail price would be closer to $70 than $7. Labor would easily be another $100-150. A “fair” price for this repair would be $200. I’m not defending Apple I’m just pointing out it’s not nearly as hyperbolic as you’re suggesting.

I truly believe that Bayesian inference is the statistics of the 21st century. Recent advances in MCMC (e.g., NUTS, Stan [1]) and variational inference (e.g., ADVI [2], VAE [3], etc.) + more computing power than ever promise a near future in which Bayesian inference is the default inference engine.

Prior distribution is a beautiful and logical mechanism for adding regularization, domain-specific knowledge to our model.

> The people who implemented these systems have all received their phds from academic CS institutions and they used bits and pieces of existing distributed systems research, but they did their innovative work in the context of commercial companies, not academic CS departments.

Three thoughts.

First, the title of the talk is "Systems Software Research is Irrelevant", not "Systems Building in Academic Departments is Irrelevant". e.g. the talk discusses plan 9. The distinction the talk makes, I think, is between commercial products and R&D not between industry and academia.

In that sense, I think the stuff out of google (mapreduce up through tensorflow) are good examples of that trend reversing

Second, industry R&D has almost always lead the charge on developing large systems in CS. That's not new.

Third, as you noted, "[many of] the people who implemented
[and more important lead the design of] these systems have all received their phds from academic CS institutions and they used bits and pieces of existing distributed systems research". One role of CS academic research is to build foundational ideas and then crank out competent researchers who are able to build real systems/algorithms/companies on top of those ideas. Just because TensorFlow was developed at Google rather than UW doesn't mean that academic research is now irrelevant.

> And what are they?

There's a lot of OCaml, Haskell, and Scala code in the world. C# and the entire .NET family is a veritable treasure trove of academic pl ideas making it into production languages.

This is my concern as well. It may be what will naturally be though (yin-yang and all that), and thankfully there are ways to get eyes into a bubble even if it's protected to get intelligence on what violent activities may be attempting to be rallied. The interesting and perhaps other fortunate piece to these communities being online is that everyone is quickly mobile (unless under strict watch and censorship locally through physical communication channels) - and so people are less stuck in a community if they realize it is a bubble - and are also more easily able to be reached.

> Then they came for monosodium glutamate. Even though food companies say it is harmless, they eventually pulled it from many products, because that’s what the customer demanded.

So? If there isn't a good reason for it to be in the food, then it probably shouldn't be. On the other hand, if there is a good reason (e.g. the food lasts longer), then I see no reason why not let the market decide what they prefer.

In general, it's not entirely unreasonable to not trust companies. They're mainly after high profits, so unless there is "market pressure" (such as customers not/wanting certain ingredients) they will just continue poisoning us in different ways (lead in gas, nicotine/smoking, trans fats, etc). It also doesn't help that e.g. orange juice is advertised as "all natural pure oranges" but tastes like a high school chemistry lab trash bin.

Obviously if you are getting rid of Facebook you would need to stop using Facebook to login to other things, but for people who are not getting rid of Facebook itself what are the security and privacy risks of using it for login for other services such as Spotify?

Does a Facebook breach let the attackers get into your Spotify account? Does it leak the existence of your Spotify account? Is there personal information from your Spotify account that can be gotten via a Facebook breach?

Same question for using any other OAuth provider, such as Google.
