I’d recommend watching one of his lectures rather than clips framed as “Jordan Peterson DESTROYS leftist” (the scourge of YouTube). He’s often intentionally put on the defensive in interviews and can understandably get prickly at continued attempts to wilfully misinterpret his arguments.

Better yet, interviews with him and Dave Rubin or Joe Rogan, or his discussions with Sam Harris, are great ways to get a non-combative side of him.

Women and men, are groups. It's not a social distinction. It's a biological one. You don't want a doctor to treat exactly men and women alike, because they don't have the same metabolisms.

It's not proven it's the right think to do to give exactly the same stuff to men and women in society either. I get why we are currently trying to promote it, as it makes sense morally, espacially with our history, but we are at the risk of ignoring important needs and spending resources to gain doubtful results.

A few correction on the otherwise good article:

* Nix 2.0 includes the repl. Just run `nix repl`

* The URL literal returns a string

* It would be good to explain how the `<...>` notation resolves paths from the NIX_PATH. For example `<nixpkgs>` looks for the `nixpkgs` key in `NIX_PATH=nixpkgs=/path/to/channel`
Doesn't you have to run a server (or use a 3-rd party server) for this?

I am not sure that analogy is that helpful.

Did the NSA catch hordes of these evil al-qaeda types with their dragnet? No. Were any of these card-carrying al-qaeda terror operatives given due process? No.

There are logical fallacies that we must endeavour to see through. Did the spy dragnet keep the al-qaeda menace at bay? Originally there were supposed to be tens of thousands of al-qaeda terror operatives in sleeper cells. They said the same about the Russians a generation earlier. It wasn't so.

There may be fancy computers at Fort Mead but these still cost money. Money that could have been spent on infrastructure that benefited the citizens. There is opportunity cost, many people have actually died in collapsed bridges since the NSA went crazy.
I haven't heard of any system that replaces passwords all the way. Apart from usability most systems eighter rely on things that are hard to change (biometrics), things that can be copied (keyfiles, cookies, software) or things that can be stolen (hardware token). So they don't replace something that you have to remember (password).

Passwords are easy to change and while they can be copied, that would be the result of the user or the login software doing something stupid. Not something wrong with concept of the password login itself.

IMO those systems can be used to make the login more secure but replacing password all together not so much.
So instead of testing it, researcher just speculated.
I agree with you. The "If you really were free, then you would decide the way we think you should" people need to think a bit more about what freedom actually means...

I think the thinking behind not asking about your background and looking at your resume etc - is that these things can introduce a bias. By asking for particular types of questions and training their interviewers in a particular way they are trying to reduce bias and streamline the whole process.

That's what analytic philosophy has been trying to do for the past century. How well it has succeeded is debatable.

Maybe instead of thinking of language as poor, ambiguous version of logic, we should think of logic as a limited version of language.

Logic can't tell us what we should care about, how we should feel, what's worth pursing, what it means to exist as an animal with needs. We suffer, we desire, we wonder. Natural language captures that in a way that logic cannot.
It’s a bad situation in your typical enterprise, but it’s even worse where I’ve spent my career: working with realtime industrial data. I became convinced that building time series data pipipelines was a bad idea after many late nights in the office fixing fragile systems that couldn’t handle real-world complexity.

As fun as it is to build with and learn new technologies, it’s a bad idea to build data pipelines unless you have a lot of resources and good leadership that can make peace between all the different people who touch the data.

Unfortunately in the world of sensors and equipment there aren’t many solutions, so I started a company (at https://sentenai.com ) to save others from my years of struggle. It turns out it’s even harder to build a general time series data pipeline solution, but we’re making progress.

Growing up in İstanbul we tried to emulate him. We bought a second hand Zenit range finder camera [1] and started to roam the streets of İstanbul like him. Later we made an enlarger from a cardboard tube. Needless to say, none of us made it to Magnum. It's just not enough to have a camera to take lasting pictures. Obviously he was a master.

Yes, robots in Blindsight were wire-operated with relatively brittle optical links (see "aperture leakage"). You can't power robot through optical link.

The solution is to present power, sensor output and control input through high-current wires.

If you apply 12V instead of 5V to a logic gate you will get current that is 12/5 higher, isn't? With speeder transition, lower jitter, etc.

An interesting point raised by this paper is that when a program requires pervasive modifications (e.g. checking the error code returned by C functions), adding a new concept to the language (e.g. C++ exceptions) can systematically make these changes unnecessary, therefore simplifying the program.

Perhaps this is how programming language designers ought to vet language ideas: do the proposed changes make certain patterns redundant? Looking at Rust through this lens makes it clear that it aims to eliminate C-style manual memory management.

However, it does make me wonder: How do languages such as JavaScript and Python stand out from their predecessors, and what problems do they uniquely solve?

I don't know what all else has been said to you here, but I am absolutely not asking you to help such people.

You said you don't understand why other people care so much about sorting out what is biological and what is cultural in origin. A few people (me included) engaged you in discussion to explain why other people might desire to get a better handle on this.

I have no idea why you jump from that to some idea that you personally are being expected to do anything for anyone other than let such research exist so that those who do care and need it can find such info.
Performance is a detail which is often lost from the mobile/web discussion. Yes there are many reasons for good web-apps to exist, and they can often deliver a very good experience on modern hardware. But conceptually, the idea that all software should run on top of a compatibility layer, with many restrictions and performance considerations compared to running directly on the OS is a strange one.

It’s an ecological concern as well: how many gigawatts of electricity a day is spent fetching react.js?
Apple was part of the NSA PRISM program. Has that changed? I mean other than unverifiable marketing speak about valuing customer privacy? On one hand this could be a legitimate privacy feature or it could also be an elegant cover story for a covert channel to the PRISM inbox.

I have a couple questions due to lack of background and/or perspective in these matters:

- What is the new business model that is forced upon these scientific journals?

- Also, would this move influence the quality of content in the published papers?
It's real. "could be real"? hehe. Yeah, Treadwell did his filming of himself, Herzog came along after his death and put together the movie, did the interviews, voiceover etc. He often encourages the bizarre in his docos, doesn't edit it out, often leaves the camera rolling on an interviewee ages longer than anyone else would - I love that. Uses the least appropriate music imaginable (which often works brilliantly) I know what you mean, they seem very, very odd. It's mainly that every other camera person/director tries to make things/people seem relatively normal, not-weird.

I've seen almost all Herzog's docos, all worth seeing, Grizzly Man is my favourite though. The one about the internet, from a couple of years ago, is one of his best also. Try Fata Morgana for weirdness, or the bleak/beautiful Lessons of Darkness, both set in the desert.
It's interesting to me that the explanation you give is one that I would call a category-theoretic one, but you see it "in the context of programming". There are so many different views on monads and their ilk. (FWIW, for a programming based explanation I would talk about sequencing operations.)
As a Windows user who doesn't have Office installed, I disagree that Office is the only thing making Windows valuable. There are a lot of things it does right, or at least much better, than Linux, things the Linux community doesn't even seem to understand why anybody wants. Sadly, they're slowly destroying all these things because they hate the Desktop now, so the future of personal computing looks pretty damned grim.

This is (mostly) true, however, there is already evidence that new technology could kill the password indeed. What I am talking about is modern phones which all come with a fingerprint scan or facial recognition which, from my own limited experience and my own observations, has mostly killed of the "passcode" on the phone. Yes our phones still make us pick a passcode, but unless forced to use it nobody does anymore. Even my technology incompetent mother uses the fingerprint scan to log into her phone and I don't see why something similar couldn't replace the current experience of her having to type an insecure password into her hotmail all the time.

I'm fairly sure that he was speaking his calculations aloud in the process of reaching the dollar value when the interviewer stopped him and asked for an answer.

It's a great interview question in the sense of a Fermi problem (I was once asked by a startup "how many window washers are there in [CITY]?"). The premises you choose and how you evaluate them, however, are so much more important in a Fermi problem than a correct answer. I remember being about 5x off but it was only because of a drastic underestimation on the time it takes to clean a window.

I understand where you're coming from but I think a charitable (and perfectly reasonable) interpretation is that he's making a generic theory/practice distinction.

I'd disagree that theory is something you can love since I strongly identify with this sentiment myself. I am not a practical man (as my wife is more than happy to vouch for), but I'm in love with ideas, concepts and abstractions. I love mulling them over and discussing them with like-minded people. It often doesn't matter much to me whether an idea has physical grounding or can be put into practice.

Belgians are foodies; my much-loved colleague Andre Petry lives out in the country. Once when I was staying with him the field opposite his house delivered overnight a vast harvest of a kind of particularly delicious toadstool called coprina comatus, a delicacy regrettably of incontestably phallic appearance known to English country people as Old man’s tool. Most people I have met express shock and horror at being asked to eat it. Not so Andre. No Belgian will allow anything to get in the way of a new taste experience. It is the same with me and ideas.

An URL with a randomized path in it is, technically, a password.

Also note that the transportation mechanism is pretty weak. If the URL is passed over HTTPS, then that keeps your ISP from seeing it, however it can still show up in logs on the server side or the client side, in your history. A URL will be remembered or even cached by your browser, whereas a regular password won't, unless you explicitly allow it.

A regular authentication mechanism doesn't necessarily suffer from these weaknesses. Consider that you can derive the server-side password, like a client-side hash which may even be time dependent, such that the actual password is never sent to the server. You can implement systems in which the password you know is never sent over the wire.

Basically a randomized URL is semi-public and you need to treat it as such.

There aren’t many alternatives to classic authentication mechanisms around. The only one I can think of is having authentication links emailed to you, but that’s also less secure and it simply defers the problem to a third-party.
I probably should be more explicit when I joke.
We’re not complaining that they’re difficult, we’re complaining that they’re stupid and a poor measure. This isn’t jealousy: I was hired by Google twice, but comparing my interviews and outcomes with friends and later coworkers, it seems like I just got luckier twice, and they dropped some way more talented people on the floor. The process is a total crapshoot, but like many things at the company nobody senior enough is willing to take ownership and fix it.

- There is no new business model enforced; that's up to the journals to figure out. However, the currently dominant model is an author-pays model, where authors pay a publishing fee ("Article Processing Charges", APCs) rather than readers paying a subscription fee. These funders explicitly free up funds to pay those fees, although this plan does include a stipulation to put a cap on those fees, since they tend to rise uncontrollably. (Although according to this article, Wellcome Trust will not be applying this cap, but will keep an eye on these fees itself.)

- There is nothing in these plans that should affect the quality of the content. Open Access journals can maintain exactly the same system of peer review as their subscription-based equivalents.
