I find that the mindset can be dramatically different in many cases depending on one's own experience and background. The length of which a company may intercede or donate to a different pool of candidates, as a simple example depends on the makeup from its' leadership down to its' employees.

My parents have always been right-leaning, working class. I, myself am far more libertarian leaning, with a bit of pragmatism. I'm fairly certain that I wouldn't like the political culture present in Google, and do not feel like my ideas would be respected in that culture at all. It emphatically does not mean that my point of view is less valid, but would more often than not be aggressively dismissed in that culture. Not to mention that I'm a cis-gendered, white male, which seems to be looked down on overall in a few of the large, progressive technical companies by itself.

In the end, it does matter. Culture, for good or bad, influences the makeup of a company. I tend to only have literally a couple drinks a month, or less generally not at work. That said, I don't feel there's shame in having a beer/ale/wine at lunch now and then. It should be about personal responsibility and accountability. It also shouldn't turn into a witch hunt without investigation.

Like most things in life, it depends.

Yes, Postgres, MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle, and i'm sure DB2 all use a cost based optimizer.

Well what I'm saying is that we can derive your first paragraph purely with computing power. What we need are computers with roughly 100 billion cores, each at least capable of simulating a neuron (maybe an Intel 80286 running Erlang or similar), and a simple mesh network (more like the web) that's optimized for connectivity instead of speed. This is on the order of 100,000*100,000,000,000 = 1e16 transistors, or about 7 orders of magnitude more than an Intel i7's billion transistors. It would also be running at at least 1 MHz instead of the 100 or 1000 Hz of the human brain, so we can probably subtract a few orders of magnitude there. I think 10,000 times faster than today is reasonable, or about 2 decades of Moore's law applied to video cards.

Then we feed it scans of human minds doing various tasks and have it try combinations (via genetic algorithms etc) until it begins to simulate what's happening in our imaginations. I'm arguing that we can do all that with an undergrad level of education and understanding. Studying the results and deriving an equation for consciousness (like Copernicus and planetary orbits) is certainly beyond the abilities of most people, but hey, at least we'll have AGI to help us.

Totally agree about the rest of what you said though. AGI <-> sacrifice. We have all the weight of the world's 7 billion minds working towards survival and making a few old guys rich. It's like going to work every day to earn a paycheck, knowing you will die someday. Why aren't we all working on inventing immortality? As I see it, that's what AGI is, and that seems to scare people, forcing them to confront their most deeply held beliefs about the meaning of life, religion, etc.

> Portenoy toured the country, describing opioids as a gift from nature and promoting access to narcotics as a moral argument. Being pain-free was a human right, he said. In 1993, he told the New York Times of a “growing literature showing that these drugs can be used for a long time, with few side-effects, and that addiction and abuse are not a problem”.

Just very similar to what is said about benzos, marijuana and are starting to be said about LSD, GHB and the likes. We need more scientific evidence to know the toll these narcotics and psychotropics can cause to us in the long term, like the same scrutiny they treated the tobacco industry.
IMO just take your turn. Unless the biker looks like he's actually going to be in a place where you might hit him, just follow the rules of the road. Let the biker worry about himself.
I was reading about employee-employer relationship in Japan(in the context of Sony) and it seemed like most people used to work at a place for life. It might be similar for Germany in a lot of industries(Automobile, heavy manufacturing). However, wouldn't this pose a new set of problems when applied to companies where the average employee tenure is very short? I think the average tech worker tenure is very very short compared to other industries. While representing employees on the board is a good idea in general, it might need some modifications before being applied to companies with high employee churn rate.
It is RHEL for a fact.
It's nearly impossible to find. Google's paper put out by an intern right after that DRAM errors are way bigger than expected (yeah no shit if they're pulling this crap) dominates the results.

For a while I thought I was going crazy, but a comment from someone on this article implies he saw the same slide deck. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2009/10/dram-... I haven't been able to get anyone to reconfirm it from Google's end, my sense is that it's information that wasn't supposed to be released.
That's been my experience too.

Chicken is an instance of "Mysteryware".

* Who created it?

* Why didn't them pick one of the other implementations?

* What's the history / background?

Could not find any of the answers to those questions after a few minutes of Googling around, nor in Wikipedia [1].

Closest I got is this page [2] that list "Felix Winkelmann" as the top core contributor. I'm guessing he is the author since the name rings a bell (after dabbling a bit with scheme and comparing implementations, so maybe I read his name somewhere, probably right here at HN).

Regarding the "why", I also think I read somewhere that the idea was to implement scheme using the ideas on "Cheney on the M.T.A." [3] and later the project took off, but I don't know the details... did I just make this up? :-p... damn, really need to improve my note taking process.

I'm referring to the kind of vilification that would cause brand damage for Tesla, so consumer-facing vilification.

Consumer-facing vilification in US media isn't really about what the person has done or what kind of person they are, it's more about what form of caricature can be depicted of them based on racial, gendered, and political stereotypes.

Denholm doesn't fit into a category of race, gender, and political affiliation that easily lends itself to a villainous caricature, and to the contrary does fit into such a category that would make it broadly unacceptable to consumers for a media company to create a villainous caricature of her. In other words, if a media company attempted to do so, it would damage the media company's consumer brand instead of Tesla's. This creates a disincentive protecting Tesla from attacks from media companies (all of which have a great financial interest in oil and legacy automakers, and very little financial interest in Tesla).

This is an increasingly common consideration for organizations responding to or seeking to preempt PR issues, especially for publicly traded companies with consumer brands, and other frequent targets of the media companies (such as police departments, private health insurance companies, and educational institutions).

I don't think that's true at all. Do you have a source?

As someone who spent 7 years doing a job that required me being behind the wheel of a car for 5+ hours a day, that is 100% not true.

I'm in great shape and actually love driving most of the time. I got rid of my car about a year ago and actually miss driving sometimes.
Cognitive behavioral therapy really helps with anxiety.
There are numerous examples of subsidies in the real world that haven't led to price controls. And yes, subsidies distort the market. I'm pretty sure 99% of economists will agree that subsidies are less distortionary than price controls though.
I agree, though I think a warning for a first offense is more reasonable. It seems like every company would rather set policy based on the worst possible interpretation rather than leaving things a little looser and dealing with problems/oversteppers directly.

It's an assumption that has been tested many times. Humans can survive losing parts of their brain, but it causes observable changes in their mind. That's were those colorful maps of brain regions and their functions come from: by recording what kind of brain damage caused what kind of function to deteriorate.

Don't forget that people used to believe that the heart contained the mind and the brain was just a cooler. There was real evidence that caused scientific consensus to change.

This just shows just how much has changed in the last few years.

Their push to increase revenues on a per-unit basis as opposed to reaching more customers will leave them incredibly exposed when someone else finally comes along and builds a laptop that developers are happy with at a fraction of the cost of whatever the next gen-MBPs are priced at.

Works for me. The only time I have a problem with a bike running a stop sign is when they do it at speed. Riding up, looking both ways, and safely taking your turn without fully stopping seems totally okay to me.

Cool story time: only time I ever got in trouble on a bike was when I (on campus, even) blew through a stop sign at an intersection that was not even publicly accessible. State Police saw me and chased me down and pulled me over on my bike :-). She had a point. I didn't just mosey through that stop sign, I blew it at speed. Dumb kid.

Hello,

approximately 2 weeks ago, when I wrote down the next idea of some SaaS app into my 35-page Google doc, I suddenly realized that (surprise, surprise!) there is no way for me to implement all of them. Even a half. Even maybe a ten. So, I started feeling like the wealthy who buries a treasure - nobody, including me, can't use it.

Well, it wasn't good feeling :)

That's how I came to the idea to share most of my ideas (sorry for tautology :) - every week (on Friday) I will send you a new email with the description of one SaaS app.

I created a mailing series and you can subscribe to it here http://www.saasidea.io/saasideasweekly

Why wouldn't I share the whole list?

Because I actually have several of them located on different devices - Google drive, iphone, and Mac, and a bunch on paper. It's kind of hard to organize the whole list. Another reason - documents have some private notes that I need to remove or edit.

Why only weekly?

Because it's not just an idea itself, I carefully prepare them, every email has a bunch of additional information like:

- Name, description, and tags (subject areas)

- A problem that SaaS app can solve

- Potential users

- Actions that users can do online (or actions that SaaS can automate)

- Existing competitors or similar services and how to differentiate from them

- Some technical stuff (libraries/frameworks/technologies that can be used)

- Components involved in development (such as maps, full-text search, AI, ML etc.)

- Possible ways to monetize

- Possible difficulties and obstacles

Are your ideas unique?

Well, yes and no. Most of them, of course, already implemented somehow. But it doesn't mean that there is no place for yet another implementation. Find your unique niche, add unique features, make your service outstanding. Some of these things I listed in the description.

May I use your ideas?

Of course, you can! Even you must - that's why I created the list.

What if I have another cool idea?

If you have a cool idea and ready to prepare it accordingly to the list, you are very welcome! Just drop me email (see it in my profile) and if I find your idea nice and relevant, I will publish it in some nearest emails along with your name.

Any questions? suggestions? please comment or drop me email at info@saas-idea.com

Thanks!

Cortana (well, search indexing) also really hurts performance. They're both disk I/O heavy services and make the whole machine sluggish imo
Maybe I am missing something..

I am curious how this is different from multiple other hosted graphite/grafana solutions. All of them allow for time-series to be stored and retrieved/graphed.
RAM I mind less than SSD as SSDs wear and have a habit of failing. A mobo swap at 4 years is going to be a hellishly expensive way of fixing a failed SSD. Clearly they want to make it too expensive to be worthwhile.

At least RAM is likely to be good as long as the rest of the system.

Well, yeah, communication is so far down on the priority of needs that my county's disaster preparedness pamphlets don't even mention it.

But after we got hit with a hurricane it was pretty nifty to have ham radio friends who were able to exchange messages with hams near families in unaffected areas. I don't remember seeing any pragmatic uses for ham radio in that particular disaster, but those lines of communication was great for morale.

I know that in order to talk to someone you need to learn the language.

Yuval Noah Harari has a different argument in his book Sapiens. He says that we’re living in the most peaceful period of human existence ever and it’s caused by a few factors. #1 the stakes are too high because of nuclear weapons and #2 now more than ever a country’s resources are the brains of its inhabitants, which can’t exactly be conquered.

I think we’re definitely seeing the landscape of war changing. I really hope traditional bloody war is obsolete.
