I don't understand. I run linux on an IBM Thinkpad T40 for the better part of a decade.Then I moved to a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon which also runs Ubuntu fine.

IN fact installing linux takes at most 20 min and I am done. Drivers and everything are all automatic.

Windows on the other hand can take hours to install from scratch. God forbid you need a service pack or to find a driver that's not easily found anymore.

People have a cognitive dissonance about what it takes to run Linux. It's by far much easier than people lead on. Yes if you need to get into the underneath of things then maybe it becomes more difficult. But I don't think that's been part of the story for average users for a long time.
If I write down any kind of notes, that would be on paper. With a pen. Lately, I'm liking the Papermate Inkjoy Quatro four-color pen. I'd love to try a better pen, but I'd be afraid of losing it in a bathroom somewhere, so I should probably stick to the Papermate.

The article discusses experiments in dogs and notes that the effects lasted from 3.5 to 18 months, so temporary in those tests.

Elsewhere, it said that this specifically activates temperature sensitive sensory neurons leaving others (touch, for example) unaffected.

Years ago, I had tried a LiveScribe pen, and automatically uploading and transcribing my notes in Evernote.

That worked really well for a couple of weeks. Then a co-worker flipped out that I had been recording his voice without his permission, and worse I was uploading the files to the cloud.

I never picked up a LiveScribe pen again.

I find Ubuntus and for that matter most DE font system superior to OSX's. Apple touts accessibility but on OSX you can't even change the font size system wide. You literally have to go into each and every app and change it specifically. Let's hope that the app supports it. Many don't.

On Ubuntu you can just change the font size and it changes everywhere without having to decrease your resolution so you take advantage of what your hardware provides.
Pain feedback equating to null would be a win for me. I prefer life requiring heightened awareness than constant pain. Some people don't realize that consistent psychological or physical pain is like living with a cold for your whole life. Every day you think of how ungrateful you were when you could breathe freely. Also if this dramatically decreased life expectancy by the increased danger from lack of feedback.. it still seems like a win with how shit life is when in pain till you die.
May as well worry about the solar wind blowing the atmosphere away. That's also possible after all.

It's surprising to me that in a technologically astute and optimistic forum like this one, there would be so much resistance to the idea that engineering solutions to heating would be easier than engineering solutions to cooling. Because anthropogenic or not, the climate is going to change, and keep changing, so either we adapt, we engineer it, or we die.

> I'd draw a fine line between real application level debugging which should never happen on production and ops tooling

Sorry, but that's just plain wrong. One very common reason why people do that is, because performance debugging may give very different results on dev, staging and production systems that's why people want tooling that gives them as accurate as possible application level debugging information without impeding the behavior of the system. It's a very common problem in large scale systems.

i didn't read the article, but i did attend a couple of lectures last year about geoengineering proposals.

i agree that e.g. aerosol injection proposals seem rather stupid, won't actually fix the problem, but may just mitigate some of the many consequences of the problem, and also cause entirely new problems.

on the other hand, i suspect it is much more likely that geoengineering proposals will actually happen in preference to hypothetical negative emission technology, as geoengineering doesn't need a group of countries to agree on doing it, and (some of them) are relatively cheap and easy to do using existing technology.
My expectations for "what the heck is going on in this game" were probably a lot lower at age 10, but I played the C64 port before I ever saw a Space Harrier cabinet, and I think it read about as well as the original, which is to say not very. :) There's rocks in the sky and giant mushrooms on the ground and one-eyed mammoths and Zardoz heads are shooting lasers at you. I don't think "the player should have any clue what is happening ever" was in the design doc!

The fascinating thing is that the C64 port was actually fun. It's decently fast, all the core gameplay is there, and it's got way more stuff moving and happening at once than you normally ever saw on the C64, or any 8-bit system really. There were quite a lot of crappy 64 ports of much less technically impressive games (Karnov and Ikari Warriors come to mind), so the fact that they (or him, I think this was a one-man effort like most C64 games) managed to make it work is kinda mind-blowing.

And I just learned that this was the somewhat-rushed UK release--the programmer apparently tweaked it a lot for the US release, adding striped ground textures, better projectiles, much better running animations, and improved sound effects, among other things. Wow.
I appreciate this article; I'm impressed when intelligent people can take complex things and explain them in laymen's terms.

I buy the idea that AI will be like RDBMS.

Except ...

RDMBS is tangible, straight forward. Easily applicable.

AI is indirect, soft.

So while I agree AI will find it's way into most things - and - will be a critical feature of some things (i.e. it will enable self driving cars) ... I still think it's over hyped.

It's a new and interesting field that is just too vague and 'non-parameterizeable' to provide value in so many ways.

Remember 'Big Data' - it was mostly an optimization. Most businesses simply don't depend on data in such quantities, and when they can make use of it, it's often just a tweak to their business, not a deep strategic insight.

If we see an explosion in GPU type computing, wherein AI experiments are able to grow maximally, perhaps we can dream a little bigger ...

But in the meantime 'there be a lot of hype' around this subject.

Kudos for the article, though.
CAIR Continues Building Its “Wall of Resistance” Against Law Enforcement
Nissan has definitely done a fair job with the Leaf. I'm not aware that they're still outselling Tesla on a quarterly basis now, due to the Model 3's sales explosion. Do you have the latest numbers on Nissan's EV sales for 2018 - how does that stack up to what's expected of Tesla for the full year?

Tesla's primary competitors are BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Audi, Infiniti. Anyone selling a lot of cars over ~$45,000.
For added reference, this is due to astronomical[1], atmospheric, and tectonic causes [2]. Obviously human beings have no control over astronomical or tectonic factors. The claim that the atmospheric factor can override both the astronomical and tectonic factors isn't implausible, but it should be understood that the atmosphere isn't the only or even the primary factor determining the climate.

I like the look of Azure as well, but getting something done is such a chore. Eg: firewall.

You need to drill down to the network card primitive, figure out which subsection you need to configure and applying the same rule is again an exercise in clicking.

In GCP:
Apply a tag.
Create firewall rule that targets the tag.

But then again, this is higly subjective and I do understand that somebody would prefer Azure way.

Inject RTX, as it’s known, into an aching joint, and
it’ll actually destroy the nerve endings that signal
pain. Which means medicine could soon get a new tool
to help free us from the grasp of opioids.

You know, I appreciate that someone out there is trying to address an addiction crisis more deadly than HIV, particularly because HIV can also compound the crisis through injection use, but...

Using a toxic capsaicin analog to destroy nerve endings sounds like an option (when taking to the inevitable extremes we are all dreading here), which could actually be worse than simply locking someone in a room so that they don't harm themselves or others with a different substance.

Reading this sounds like something out of a Shadowrun supplement, describing an intentionally horrifying prerequisite to some kind of cybernetic augmentation that renders your character a partially comatose brain in a vat.
PagerDuty is all about the reporting and tracking of incidents and alerts. But it has some rough edges.

First, there is no search function. Use command-F or control-F in your browser. That's all you get.

Second, you are very limited in the types of things you can merge with other things. You can't merge incidents with alerts or vice-versa. I think incidents can be merged with other incidents, but alerts can't be merged with other alerts. But I might have that backwards.

It is impossible to have a large account with PagerDuty where you can hand off administration of entire chunks of the organization to someone else. This makes it impossible to set up teams to do their own self-service, and you're always going to be reliant on a central group of administrators who can be trusted not to screw up things for the entire company.

I had no prior experience with PagerDuty, but recently I've had to deal with it a fair amount. It's pretty clunky, although they are the biggest company in the field.

You would think this would make them an ideal choice for large Enterprise companies, but it seems to me that even large Enterprises are dumping them for OpsGenie or other solutions in this space.

Turkey has been playing a masterful game of "trickle truth" perfectly timed with the media cycle to undermine the Saudi regime. I'm surprised at how well they're managing international propaganda considering that many of their previous efforts on other issues were clumsy and ineffectual.
I suspect that only a minority of people in metric-using countries -- those with basic chemistry knowledge fresh in their mind -- know that "one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade".

Probably a similar number of Americans know the same facts. And any of them would answer "How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water" in the only sensible way -- look up the conversion of gallons to liters, do the calculation in metric, and convert back from calories to whatever unit you want (BTUs, I guess).

The point is: nobody, including Americans, uses the customary system in chemistry labs. Nobody ever has cause to calculate how many BTUs it takes to boil a gallon of water without reference to the metric system. So the argument is a bit specious.
We both know the way to make this scale is visual pattern matching for identification using artificial intelligence on the blockchain.

> Votes and currency work completely differently. In an election, you have one vote.

Not all voting systems are created equal. There are voting systems that permit using more than 1 vote, like this one:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_voting

(If you go to the bottom of the article, you can see a blue box that says "Electoral Systems" with "[show]" on the right. You can click that to have the box display a variety of voting systems and related articles.)

> If you don't vote, you don't get to keep your vote and use it for a different election.

I agree that it's different in that there is no formal, delimited election time, like in other voting systems. Here it's like the election is always ongoing in various dimensions. Despite that, I believe the way capitalism works remains very similar to voting systems.

> If:

> - I believe that someone's work is worth 50,000€

> - They currently get 50,000€ from Patreon

> then the resource allocation system failed. The creator is now doing work worth 50,000€ even though they could be doing work worth 50,500€.

I feel that logic is weird. When you go to a service provider (like a freelancer), do you wish you could see what they earned monthly so you can decide whether to offer to pay them to do your job request or to just request of them to do it for free because otherwise you'd feel they'd be earning too much? I would think not. Why do you insist on deciding what to pay based on what their earnings are?

I think what you decide to pay them should only be based on the benefit you receive. What is "fair" is naturally decided by the economic system, not the individuals.
"the only known mass extinction of insects.[9][10]" - one event that serious in 6 billion years and the planet wasn't destroyed, is your cite for how it's fragile? I'd expect tool-using humans to prepare better, survive more, and recover sooner than the creatures described there, wouldn't you?

"Cod: Over 35,000 fishermen and plant workers from over 400 coastal communities became unemployed.[..] federal government intervened, [..] income assistance [..] retraining of workers [..] Newfoundland has since experienced a dramatic environmental, industrial, economic, and social restructuring, including considerable emigration,[18] but also increased economic diversification, an increased emphasis on education, and the emergence of a thriving invertebrates fishing industry"

and the present status 20 years later is "recovering" up to possibly 10% of earlier levels - nothing like the million years to recover of the previous link.

Change happened, people adjusted to it in many ways. That sounds resilient, not fragile.

As someone who has actually used elementaryOS for some time(both previous versions about 6 months each) I have to disagree with your "doesn't break if you do X" claim.

You can break elementaryOS' nice graphics just by putting it into sleep mode and waking it up again - say hi to at least 2 different kinds of graphics glitches and possibly a randomly appearing bug in the file manager.
And I'm not sure if it was a bug or a feature, but last time I used eOS I didn't enjoy the default video player's "fullscreen mode" in which it still didn't overlap the lower part of the desktop with the dock.

But keep in mind I haven't tried the most recent version which came out not long ago, I'd be surprised if some of the problems weren't fixed yet.

I think elementaryOS is on the right track, but it's definitely not more stable than the average distro, including the ones with rolling-release update models.

How Computers Work By Roger Young, Here is an online version:
http://www.fastchip.net/howcomputerswork/p1.html

anytime worth reading, simply tells you how everything in a computer work like memory and processor.
>> Yes if you need to get into the underneath of things then maybe it becomes more difficult.

IMO Windows is even more difficult when you want to get into underneath of things. Fiddle with registry settings, services and at times deleting AppData\App folder to get something fixed.
At least in case of Linux you get good set of answers to your Google queries, but that is not as good in case of Windows. Also, Windows and the ecosystem of software around it has a huge reliability and performance problem still unsolved. Freezing, crashing are still rampant with Windows 10. If I boot my laptop after a week Windows Update holds me up for at least half an hour. Every update restarts the OS several times.

Modern Higher Algebra by A. Adrian Albert (1937, Dover/Cambridge). It covers both abstract algebra and linear algebra.

Most modern textbooks tend to approach linear algebra from geometric perspectives. Albert's text is one of the few that introduce the subject in a purely algebraic approach. With a solid algebraic foundation, the author was able to produce some elegant proofs or results that you don't often see in modern texts.

E.g. Albert's proof of Cayley-Hamilton theorem is essentially a one-liner. Some modern textbooks (such as Jim Hefferon's Linear Algebra) try to reproduce the same proof, but without setting up the proper algebraic framework, their proofs become much longer and much harder to understand. Readers of these modern textbooks may not realize that the theorem is simply a direct consequence of Factor Theorem for polynomials over non-commutative rings.

With only about 300 pages, the book's coverage is amazingly wide. When I first read the table of content, I was surprised to see that it not only covers undergraduate topics such as group, ring, field and Galois theory, but also advanced topics such as p-adic numbers. I haven't read the part on abstract algebra in details. However, if you want to re-learn linear algebra, this book may be an excellent choice.

I actually think excise taxes on new vehicles is more effective since it forces people to put everything on the balance sheet when committing to buy. Makes sense because people don't commit to creating pollution/CO2 emissions when they fill their tank, they did it when they bought the car.

On the other end you can do what California is doing which is paying people a couple of grand towards a down payment if they replace an older ICE car with an electric car. Would be a good idea if the state would also identify and target longer distance commuters for buyouts.
