You could say the same stuff about the historical priesthood. For ages, knowledge, and science were cultivated by priests. They were the ones that could read, write, they hand-copied books, they advised rules, helped peasants, took care of sick, poor and so an so.

Which doesn't invalidate my critique about the corruption. The mechanisms are exactly the same.
Sure, if you have already built the satellite, and it shares fuel between orbit raising and station keeping, it can be a big win. ULA convinced the US to do that with GOES-16, recently.

But if you're designing from scratch, building a bigger satellite and staging earlier gets more mass to GEO. That's called a "subsync" orbit and SpaceX has talked 2 customers into doing that with 3 satellites so far: Telstar 19V, Telstar 18V, and Hispasat 30W-6.

In these latter 3 examples, the customer saved ~ $30mm on the launch by staying within the reusable F9 mass limit.

Most mechanics are hardware hackers. Instead of searching for the problem on stackexchange/stackoverflow, they search service bulletins and automotive message boards.

I'm sure that the software in modern cars causes all manner of stupid problems that never existed before, and could be easily eliminated by giving the mechanics access to the source.
In the Artemis book, it's dealt with using filtered air jets in the airlocks.

> Cars of today aren't exponentially better than a 1955 Caddy.

You're talking about cars that cost around $70k in today's dollars with 6.0L V8 carburetted pushrod engines that go 0-60 in 15 seconds, no standard AC, 4 speed transmissions....they looked cool, but you can buy a $30k Infiniti nowadays that is lighter, has just 60% the engine displacement, has fuel injection and variable valve timing/lift, goes 0-60 in 5 seconds, has 4 wheel disc brakes, a 7 speed transmission...the list goes on. Oh, and standard A/C.

I'd say that getting 3x the acceleration at half the price, with multiple times more reliability (try driving a 1955 Cadillac 300k miles without rebuilding the engine or heads), traction control, airbags, intelligent cruise control, and all the modern comforts is indicative of rapid growth. And it keeps going! Now we are seeing electric production cars and autonomous street legal vehicles.

Exponential? Maybe not. But aside from computers, it's hard to think of technological developments as exponential. They tend to be intermittent, with advances coming in fits and starts.
In that case accessibility would be enhanced by the artist writing down the meaning and context. But I take it that artists are loathe to do that because they fear that explaining it would make it lose it's mystique, kind of like how explaining a joke ruins it, so you basically end up with what amounts to elaborate inside jokes. OTOH, it probably helps drive up the price when the rich buyers feel like they're part of the secret in-group.
Among my friends and coworkers, those who tend to eat more organic food also do a lot more physical activity/exercise than those who don't. This smells like correlation.

I disagree.

If you spent two minutes rolling some white paint on a white canvas because your "abstract message" was about the void of space, it's not profound, you're being an ass.

Conversely if you spent at least five hours stippling black spots on a white canvas in the image of some obscure shape, because you had a concept in your head, and it took a considerable amount of effort, THAT is a profound piece of work.

The art world isn't full of bohemians with time and knowledge who've developed understanding of abstractness. It's full of pretentious, bored, rich people. Huge difference.

Ok, I wasn't sure how you meant your comment, so I addressed the more plausible (although less literal) interpretation. Thanks for clarifying though. I imagine your scenario is theoretically possible, but it's science fiction for the foreseeable future, so I'm not very concerned about it. That said, it's interesting and I often think about it; I'd be really interested to hear economists opinions.
"In a new study, those who ate more organic food had fewer cancer diagnoses"

The title is correct. And it's not surprising at all. People who eat organic food are usually richer, which comes with all kinds of health benefits.

What this study didn't show: That they had less cancer because of the organic food.
Why can't we have this for the web? :(
Patents are already supposed to do that. They are required to describe embodiments of the claims, which can be used by anyone to implement the invention. However they are always redacted in the vaguest, most obscure way possible as to provide the legal protection without the disclosure part. That should be reason to reject any patent application in my opinion, but I'm not a patent examiner.

From the article: Participants in the French study also provided information about their general health status, their occupation, education, income and other details, like whether they smoked. Since people who eat organic food tend to be health-conscious and may benefit from other healthful behaviors, and also tend to have higher incomes and more years of education than those who don’t eat organic, the researchers made adjustments to account for differences in these characteristics, as well as such factors as physical activity, smoking, use of alcohol, a family history of cancer and weight.

Even after these adjustments, the most frequent consumers of organic food had 76 percent fewer lymphomas, with 86 percent fewer non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, and a 34 percent reduction in breast cancers that develop after menopause.

Granted, it could be that these socio-economic factors weren't adequately corrected for, but they did at least attempt to.
Err, you like non-democratic rulings because they AVOID corruption? Worked great for the FCC!
I think Shiller's work was useful because housing prices (if I'm not mistaken) are not part of CPI.

Housing prices go into much bigger bubbles than rent. If interest rates go up or down, it doesn't very much affect the average person's ability to pay rent. But it has a huge impact on how much the average person can borrow.

My understanding for the reason that housing prices aren't included in CPI is because nobody buys houses in cash. So including mortgage payments in theory makes sense -- but it' tricky -- because everyone's mortgage originated at different times and under different circumstances.
I like how the author jumps from 'shadow books' to 'abuse of web mail' and 'social sites' in the same paragraph.

People who can afford to buy organic food are in a completely different income bracket than those who can't.

Organic foods are usually %50-%100 more expensive than "non organic" food, meaning that the group of organic food buyers excludes low income households, and selects higher income households on average.

Low income households are much more likely to have lead paint, low quality plumbing (more imbibed lead), mold growth, etc... Low income household breadwinners are also more likely to have higher stress jobs and work in unlheathy environments, and to really tip the scales, they are are much more likely to be smokers.

This study doesn't control for any of that, so... Yeah. Don't be poor, I guess.

From my use of Qubes:

* RAM hit is pretty big. 16gb was pretty much necessary for any type of work.

* CPU hit is decent. In Qubes, one of the applications I'm working on would build in 40s, on a "regular" OS it would take 20s.

The CPU hit is probably more variable and depends on many factors.

FWIW even though I really liked Qubes, I eventually moved away from it because maintaining the system took up a bit too much of my time. For the most part it "just works" (and huge props to the Qubes team for that!), but for example I had trouble upgrading my images at some point, which messed things up. I had backups (Qubes has a decent backup tool for which I had a bash script), but that was kind of the breaking point - I felt I had spent too much time futzing around with things. I think I used it for ~6 months. It's definitely worth trying out if you have the nerve to deal with those kinds of problems.

I'm all for credit where credit is due but Shotwell is a completely interchangeable and irrelevant piece of the puzzle here. There are many CEO's, men and women, who could have been in her role. All of the top talent at SpaceX could have been at any other company, but it took Elon steering a ship of motivated individuals, cracking the whip, and putting it all on the line for SpaceX to get where it is.

I really don't understand this recent wave of people who until now loved the guy but after he took a page out of President Trumps say whatever you're thinking book, people hate him.
Why does the article think MongoDB is located in the jurisdiction of the 9th Circuit? I mean sure they operate nationally in some senses, but their HQ is in NYC (2nd Circuit). And if they're incorporated in Delaware as most funded tech startups are, that isn't 9th Circuit either.

Am I missing something or is the author? Also, what stance has the 2nd Circuit taken on copyright misuse, if any?

I don't think that's uncommon. You have something which you think reduces problem X, and you give it to half of your population, and a placebo to the other half. Over a long period of time, you observe the rate of problem X across both populations.

The video is real. It’s a recording of the actual software being used live.

Things that are different irl vs the video:

1: Experience irl is way cooler. We use it internally for meetings. It’s amazing to take a photo on your phone and see it show up in the air in front if you. It’s awesome to see someone rez in and start walking around. It’s fun to put your hands up, start talking, and watch 3d models and images show up. The playfulness and interactivity is much more exciting in person than in the video.

2: The field of view on existing AR hardware is limited. Everyone working in AR hears this to the point of exhaustion, but anyone trying AR for the first time can’t help but notice it. So, the experience is different than in the video because you can only see AR through a smallish view. This will, of course, improve soon.

3: The video ui isn’t rendered additively and has some added zing that is less performant when using in real life (eg higher antialiasing)

Eh, the Falcon 9 Heavy was years later than what the CEO "mapped out" and is missing an major feature of the original design (crossfeed). They may have done better than their competitors but SpaceX have had their share of mishaps along the way like anyone else. A lot of the "hate and doubt" was justified; certainly the people who said there was no way Falcon 9 Heavy would be flying in 2013 like Musk was claiming turned out to be... 100% correct.

Oh how I wish I could have had that. I've had an experience in the past where I was dismissed because my manager decided he just didn't like me anymore. Although I was the best performing, most senior developer on the team and was doing all the hiring and mentoring of others, it didn't save me.

Within two months I went from having a glowing performance review that recommended me for a management role to being summarily dismissed for "attitude."

Since the comments here seem to be mostly like "well at least some of them do", I'll just go ahead confirm your suspicion as a woman who has talked to other women about their relationships. Liking to be denigrated is not the norm at all, it's kinda gross and demeaning. However, much like many other sexual practices that many women find distasteful, some women will play along or pretend that they're into it to make their partners happy. Most of the time the partners aren't trying to be controlling or whatever, they're just imitating porn which normalizes that kind of thing. So yeah, there's a high chance this was a one-sided fantasy like you suspect.

Human psychology. Negative statements are given greater weight. You neighbor is happily living in the matrix and sees no need to observe reality with objective reason when the negative pundits give him regular doses of satisfying outrage to feel good about.
People trust (wisely or not) in the big companies Google etc. to do the right thing. That's because they have other priorities in their life, and limited head space. They need to be convinced this is an issue. I am not even convinced it is the most pressing issue for me, and I am a techie. I do minimal stuff (password managers, 2FA, try to avoid sending stuff by email) but I'm not going to start buying keys off Kickstarter.

The only exception is a small amount of Crypto which I have been a bit more paranoid about (see money is at stake so I care a bit more!), for example I have the myetherwallet source and run it locally instead of using the site as that is a very attractive honeypot. I could get f'd using the source but it is less likely. I check for recent dodgy looking commits and check the news.

> Richard Siklos, a Netflix spokesman, said the company only fires employees for performance reasons, not because managers don’t like them

That's not true at all. The company fires people all the time because their skills just aren't necessary. I mean I guess technically it's a layoff, but a layoff and getting fired are functionally the same at Netflix as they both come with the same severance.

When we moved to AWS, there were plenty of folks who were let go because their expertise was in physical infrastructure and they had no desire to learn about the cloud.

They were stellar performers, their expertise just wasn't needed anymore.

I very much enjoyed working in a culture where both hiring and firing were easy to do, to make sure that the team was always the right people at the right time.
>Many employees say they see the keeper test as a guise for ordinary workplace politics while some managers say they feel pressure to fire people or risk looking soft.

I worked for a place like this. Regular firings, sometimes every month. The CEO (who also self-funded the company) believed that regularly letting people go was a way of eliminating bad apples and forcing people to work harder and smarter. Similar to Netflix philosopy, but on a smaller scale.

Firings happened for all the reasons you'd think--politics, cliques, not being a "cultural fit." "Not being a team player" was often code for not trying hard enough to make your lead look good.

It was toxic and led to massive tech debt accumulation, as a succession of engineering managers all made new and different decisions on frameworks and technologies as soon as they were hired. Very little institutional knowledge.

Implicit quotas for regularly letting people go is just an insane way to run a business.
