End user of NC here, have it setup on a little Digital Ocean droplet. I switched from OwnCloud shortly after the fork, and sync contacts/calendar/notes between my desktop and android. Pleasantly surprised with how well things work.

My favorite thing to do is upload a short video from my phone, and send my family the share link. Much better than uploading to YouTube / Facebook. I also do photography, and love how easy it is to share a gallery in a few seconds. When I'm done in Lightroom, I just export JPGs to the directory, and copy over the share link to the gallery app. Great user experience!

I'm glad NC is continuing development, and it's interesting that they're adding federation to the client, but I'm not sure it's a feature I'd use. Though I'd like to setup a mastodon instance for myself, there's too much docker/nodejs bloat and hastle, and I've yet to successfully get an instance online. (Even if I did, I'm not sure I'd use it very much.)
I'm exactly the same. Some favourites I've collected over the years:

This is a good example; no one has to worry about finances for the rest of their life if what they've already saved up can sustain them for the rest of their life. Just as a squirrel doesn't need be concerned with finding food again if its nestegg is properly stocked.

So many people are so concerned with The Jone's and new cars and high-expense lifestyles that it requires a very different kind of number.

It's a formula, and you just need to put in the numbers to find what works. For some maybe that's $200k. For others, maybe $200M.

That sounds like a wonderful way to get kidnapped or murdered. Why do people recommend this? It seems only slightly less dangerous than going to the most dangerous neighborhood in the biggest city you can day-trip to, and start hurling slurs at passers-by.

This comes across a bit like the Tanenbaum–Torvalds monolithic/microkernel debate in the 90s. Tanenbaum in this case is Marcus and Torvalds is LeCunn. There are so many well established benchmarks out there. Just build whatever this symbolic system is that you're advocating and beat the benchmarks. Or maybe create your own benchmarks and then we can also apply Deep Learning to those problems too and see who wins? Until then, no one really has to pay any serious attention to these clamourings.
Maybe not, but if you do it hard enough while listening to some terrible music, you'll have replicated my 90s clubbing experience.

I'm in Sweden and Netflix has gotten much much better of the past few years. Sure there are a few movies that are on Netflix in the US but Viaplay (the other big streaming service in Sweden) here. But at the same time there are movies and shows that are on Netflix here, but Prime or Hulu in the US. These days I doubt there are that many shows/movies which are available for streaming in the US, but not here.
This implies that once a political norm is broken, it will forever be broken. That does not bode well for our current political situation in the US.
Was capitalism responsible for the wars waged in that region by the Aztecs? Was it responsible for the massive losses of life in the USSR and Mao's China? You can't just say that because X country is capitalist, everything that happens in it is because of capitalism. It's just an economic system, that's all. Projecting it's effects beyond the realm of economics requires some justification.

Capitalism didn't originate the concept of resources, or politics, or even money. How can you justify blaming Capitalism for things that happen just as much, if not many, many orders of magnitude more in non-capitalist societies?

Conversely I think it is justifiable to attribute the enormous economic gains of that billion people to capitalism directly. It's an economic system and we're measuring economic gains directly attributable to investment, often replacing decidedly un-capitalist systems.

That doesn't matter at all if your request is being location stamped because it came from a Starbucks / your home WiFi IP.
This is something that’s been a challenge to my team for a long time. For us, machine learning has produced very good inferences, but it doesn’t create models of how the universe works. For example, if we input a lot of raw weather data into a statistical model, we can predict how it may affect the power output of a solar array. But, I can’t get the machine to ‘understand’ that clouds decrease solar availability.
You're the product. If you want your location history, you should buy an inexpensive GPS unit and manually dump it onto your computer periodically. Why would you upload something into the cloud or allow some company to manage it for you and expect privacy in this day?
Don't you think this kind of defeats the propose of having a friend ? Sure, you don't want to be an asshole like social network zuck, but that doesnt mean one should suppress themselves just to please others.

I have thought of friendship as a distinctly tiered system. I very carefully reveal parts of me to a lower tier of friends (mostly acquaintances), and use those reactions to gauge of I want to reveal more of myself to them.

Trust and exposing vulnerability are IMO at the Crux of what friendship is. There is a certain irrationality and lack of equal exchange that goes into being a friend. Like sometimes inconveniencing yourself to help a friend, without any clear short term reward in sight.

If I had to always act like someone else in front of my friends, then I would say I don't have friends at all.

>"requires a constant addition of new adopters just to sustain the price[1]

I think you've got some confusion going on here.

1) There is no requirement to "sustain the price" for any (normal) cryptocurrency.

2) New coin generation is "inflationary" in the sense that the number of coins is increased. This "inflationary" attribute would put the downward pressure on price you are referring to.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I don't think Elena Ferrante has anything to do with #metoo or gender politics. The author/s claims to have been born in the 40s, and started writing in the 90s. As far as I understand, she writes relatively non-political literary fiction set in a particular historical milieu in Naples that is sensitive to the intimate lives of women. She is not allegorical or self-help-y like Coelho. She just writes in a way that speaks to a very broad audience of women.

I previously used a Galaxy S3 with Replicant OS. I also have a Sony phone with Lineage OS (with no Google). I now use a dumbphone as I don't particularly like smartphones. This decision is less driven by security and more a desire to ringfence time away from tech.

Personally, I was never bothered by the lack of GPS. I'm fine with offline maps. I have a satnav in the car which is the only time I really need minute-by-minute navigation.

I found the lack of WiFi to be a bigger issue. Mostly as I like podcasts. There is/was an option to use a WiFi adapter which works well if you plan in advance (i.e. use it when downloading a bunch of apps when setting up, or downloading a bunch of podcasts in one go).

Replicant OS is a really neat project, and they deserve some praise.

I worked a few years in pharma R&D (Roche, largest R&D budget in this industry).

In a pharma setting, the 3D structure of a protein is mostly used to perform drug design (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_design#Computer-aided_dru...), i.e. trying to understand how a chemical will physically interact with a protein and thereby modify it's physiological function, in order to treat a disease.

The biggest problem comes from the fact that proteins are (1) non-static and very flexible and (2) don't exist in vacuum, they interact with a myriad of other entities in a living system. In other words, it's not because you know the structure of a protein and how to theoretically perturb it with a small molecule, that you have a drug. The large majority of structures predicted to be active against a protein target are not, when tested in a biological assay. The process helps, but ultimately it's a very empirical endeavor (test a ton of different chemicals in actual experiments, try to abstract some logic and move on from that). As a result, simply knowing the structure of a protein will not get you far down the line into finding a new drug.

On the resource topic: Even in a very large pharma setting, you will find only a dozen of scientists or so dedicated to the topic (out of tens of thousands employees), supporting many projects and with very little time to perform their own research. As a result, any team fully dedicated to the problem (like AlphaFold) can easily over-compete pharma. Most of the cost in drug discovery comes from dealing with patients and clinical trial. It's only at this stage that you'll know how your drug really works, and how it fits in the existing market and society (think of neuroscience for instance).

I don't want to undermine the protein structure field and AlphaFold results (it's fascinating), but pharma business model de facto relies very little on knowing a protein structure or not. It's also mostly useful to design small molecules, a class a bit out of fashion (biologics are the top-sellers in 2018, and new modalities are coming-up, like RNAs and gene editing for instance).
I tend to think of the Antikythera mechanism as a calculator as opposed to a computer. I save the term computer for things that are Turning complete (ignoring physical limits). Thus, computers have features like branching and looping. Calculators generally lack these features or have them in very restricted forms. By this definition, which I grant is somewhat arbitrary, the Antikythera mechanism is a calculator.
The way to do it is to push for new data formats where the inherent value of even “leaked” information is going to be limited by the format (e.g. expires in some form, and/or must always be combined with some new recently-refreshes data to be considered valid).

Unfortunately, something of that magnitude in this age would probably require the cooperation of large entities like Google and Facebook. Guess who profits from the current leaky model.

Honestly, Apple may be just about the only one capable of shifting the tide. They’re big, they claim a privacy focus, and they’ve delivered some (e.g. Apple Pay, iMessage). If they could come up with more secure technological replacements for the things that are currently leaked by apps, we might have a chance.

The “one time card” approach of Apple Pay seems like the basis for such a system. For example: stop giving apps “my location” tied specifically to me, instead give them “location of unspecified user” where that token goes away after one app transaction.

It is a bit outlandish. There's plenty of people on HN who aren't millionaires (at least not yet, and when they are, maybe they'll stop working). But maybe they're smart enough to avoid this thread.

Improving your life in the least bit is the whole point of life itself. Being that as you grew up in poverty, came from nothing monetary wise, and are already in school you're already doing better than you were imagined to.

You'll go far; it takes a long time.

Knowledge of investments will take you far in life. Ferraris are (fast)depreciating assets that take a lot of time and extra expense, they're simply not good investments unless you're a race car driver. Not when a Toyota will do the same for you.

I could come up with a lifestyle where my wife and I could live off of $200k, a paid for house and social security if the social security amounts that we would be entitled to now don’t change when we are retired (inflation adjusted).

Great insights from someone in the field. AlphaFold improvement is equivalent to combining past 2 CASP improvements. Ruminations on huge advantage that industrial labs have with top engineering talent and compute resources makes author wonder if its worth continue in academic lab.

“If I were to pick, I think about half of the performance improvement we see in AlphaFold comes from the simple ideas above, and about half from the sophisticated engineering of the distance-predicting neural network.”

“...with DeepMind’s entry I will have to reconsider, and from conversations with others this appears to be a nearly universal concern. Just like in machine learning, for some of us it will make sense to go into industrial labs, while for others it will mean staying in academia but shifting to entirely new problems or structure-proximal problems that avoid head-on competition with DeepMind.”

“...competitively-compensated research engineers with software and computer science expertise are almost entirely absent from academic labs, despite the critical role they play in industrial research labs. Much of AlphaFold’s success likely stems from the team’s ability to scale up model training to large systems, which in many ways is primarily a software engineering challenge. “

“For DeepMind’s group of ~10 researchers, with primarily (but certainly not exclusively) ML expertise, to so thoroughly route everyone surely demonstrates the structural inefficiency of academic science.”
I think you can be correct or incorrect about facts (such as the earth being round) but that human society is too complex and there are too many individual and conflicting desires to say that there's a one dimensional scale of good->bad that you can judge it on.

Take that remote island tribe that recently murdered a Christian missionary. Was it good or bad that he went there? Was it good or bad that they killed him? Is it good or bad that anthropologists are trying to keep them isolated? Is it good or bad that they want to stay isolated?

I don't think those questions can be answered. Society is an emergent behavior built up from individual wants, desires and compromises. There's stability and instability at a macro level but I don't think there's good or bad. There's just different.

It strikes me that a lot of modern political thought has embraced pieces of post-modernism but at some level has almost reverted to fundamentalism. "Good" vs. "evil" doesn't sound like the options we should be discussing in a post-religious society.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to manually start it?

The reason I ask is that I've inherited a 1950 Jaguar, which also has a hole for crank starting the engine, but it's only these very early models that have the hole in the radiator for the crank. Apparently, the force required to start the XK engine manually is too much to be feasible for mere humans to achieve, and I've been told the best way to start it if the starter fails is to find a hill you can push the car down and putting it in gear.
