A small digression on Nick Lane's book: I gifted myself The Vital Question in 2015 December. While Lane writes quite effectively without any mind-numbing jargon, the book still has quite a bit of technical chemistry (understandably). After the excellent first 80 pages, it took me a lot more will power to plough through. :-) (I paused at page 112 and never got back. Thanks to this reminder, I'll resume again.)

When I was reading the book on a plane, a seasoned biologist happened to be sitting next to me. When I said that it's the first book of Nick Lane that I picked up, he said: "I'd rather suggest you to pick up Laine's other book, Life Ascending, and then get back to The Vital Question."

(Edit: Oops, bad me, just noticed that there's already discussion about the book's accessibility in this thread.)
This isn't really true.

I've asked a few different interview questions in my time, and the number of candidates who have gotten the "optimal" solution currently sits at 0, to any of the questions.

Despite this, I've suggested that we hire some of those "wrong" answer candidates. And given the interview feedback I've seen, I'm not the only one like this.

Ok fine. Why would I take a van if I can take my own car, period?
It's much more important to explain your thought process, work through the problem, and come up with any solution than it is to come up with the optimal solution in these interviews. I think that's what people who rail on standard coding interviews don't understand.

It's not about memorizing the answer to algorithm puzzles. In fact - if a candidate seems to know a problem by heart, that interviewer's feedback will often be discarded. It's about putting the candidate in a position where they have to think through a problem critically and seeing what trade-offs they make, what constraints they assume, and how they communicate their intent.

I have recommended hires for candidates who don't find the canonical solution many times.
Would 25 multiple choice questions be enough to detect random answering with certainty? Surely many combinations come up way more often than others when answered truthfully.

Abmahnung is not a proper lawsuit, it's a mostly legal way to get parties to agree in case of a legal dispute without having to actually involve a court. You can ask to be reimbursed for incurred costs for up to 1000€. The current government is working no reducing the abuse of this legal mechanism.

Sending one of these requires you also to clearly show how the recipient infringed on your rights or a law that affects you or your business in a negative way and lay out the costs you want reimbursed for sending the letter (up to 1000€). If you're wrong about it you'll have to pay all and any attorney fees of the other party.

If someone refuses to pay or sign the Abmahnung you have to go to court, in which case you'll need agreement from the party you're representing.

To file an actual lawsuit you still need to be wronged or damaged by the actions of another party, you can't just sue in the name of someone else without them agreeing to it. This is also limited to civil law, criminal law is handled by the state prosecutor via the police, not you yourself.
In UK £4.20/meal gets you pretty much nothing when eating out. Maybe if there is a deal on you can have a frozen burger and soda from Wetherspoons, but even Subway or McD is more expensive.

But that of course is eating out. I can cook a dinner for two for less than £8, no problem - but it's not as far as you'd think. Like, super simple meals:

1) chicken breasts(£3) + pack of mushrooms(£1) + parsley(£0.80) + cream(£1) = £5.80

2) pork/beef mince(£3) + chopped tomatoes(£0.50) + celery(£1) + carrots(£1) = £5.50

3) beef mince(£3) + chopped tomatoes(£0.50) + black beans(£1) + feta(£1.50) = £6

And that doesn't include the cost of pasta/rice, spices....but those are easy to buy in bulk so I assume cost per meal is <£0.50 on those.

Now that we're off Hello Fresh we budget £200/month for food(but that includes lunches), and that's doing all our food shopping at Lidl, which is stupidly cheap compared to any of the larger supermarkets.

So yes, cooking by myself is cheaper(I don't think that's a surprise to anyone), but I still consider hello fresh to be money well spent just for learning how to cook well.
While your statement is reasonable, it's interesting seeing a Mac user complain about things being too expensive. Is it fundamentally worse to overcharge for software over the hardware?

> There’s also lots of room underground to build vs surface, so little constraint there.

There are lots of constraints building underground. Because on ground level the buildings have been built with certain assumptions about the ground regarding the construction structure. When the underground now changes, then either the ground will collapse or the underground tunnels have to been build statically according to those requirements. That is the hard work of tunneling.

Also maintaining the tunnels regarding ground water levels is hard. Changing ground water levels also has impact in the statics of the building on the ground.

There are much more things to consider building and maintaining underground.

I guess it is because german politicians have proven again and again that they cannot be trusted with this responsibility.

e.g. "Asse" was a salt mine to test storing nuclear waste. It was supposed to last for 20.000 years, but only lasted 20 and its not possible to retrieve the waste stored in there (and environmentalists warned that this would happen). So will you trust these people to get the decision right the next time?

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%...

Gorleben (another salt mine) was chosen for nuclear waste storage partly to piss of the former GDR since it is right next to the border. Neither a very good reason.

Compared to the US Germany just does not have any uninhabitated areas, where you can store nuclear waste.

regarding date and supply chain uncertainty i would tend to agree.

in this case however, they do sell laptops. so, they aren’t completely incapable of supply chain.

depending on if the laptop is really an in-house design, or not, they may be certainly going from a very basic to an extremely sophisticated supply chain.

or it could be that it’s not an in-house design fully and someone else is doing the supply chain and general design of the hardware.

the date is extremely optimistic or the handset hardware is much farther along than is obvious from the content on the site.

I actually stumbled upon the following in their report:

“Internal documents obtained by The Times show that Facebook shared data with more than 150 companies — most of them tech businesses, but also automakers, media organizations (including The Times) and others.“

> The gist of that article is by using edit-distance/levenstein distance to 'cluster' JS code fragments, you can improve the efficiency of GZIP by bringing more code into its 32K window OR optimize the huffman codes it uses. However, edit-distance doesn't know anything about the LZ algorithm's mechanism.

That sounds really cool, and even though I couldn't understand the technical details I understood the gist of it. But, because there is a "but", the issue with tech- and algorithm-focused companies like Google is that they don't look at the grander scheme of things, the same way as some other less tech-focused companies/people would have.

To go back to your example, that solution meant that Google could "serve" even more JS code to clients' browsers, and as I assume other googlers came out with different but related solutions that meant that even more and more JS code would "make it" to Google's web products. That's how we got to things like the latest GMail interface, which is a mess in terms of JavaScript, because Google just couldn't say at any one point: "No more JS!" presumably because it was getting easier and easier to "input" JS into that thing. All of this could have been prevented if at any one point a Google higher-up would have said "YAGNI!" or "KISS!", which are also very valid programming principles but which I didn't notice as being emphasized on this Google Tech Dev Guide page.

Credit repair
I needed help to fix my credit report. I worked in the past with Lexington law and MSI credit but was not okay with their services, They removed some items but I still had some derogatory and collection accounts. I was reading some reviews about CR repairs, DPROTOCOL7@GMAIL.COM appeared in some of the reviews of which he was well recommended and spoken good of. So I decided to email him. He responded and introduced himself as DPROTOCOL and instructed me to text him on his direct number +1 320 245 4036, and I did. We got talking and he explained his credit repair process in a pragmatic way and I was convinced to work with him. After some couple of days (8 business days) he called me and asked me to go online and check my profile that the job was done and ready to use. When I checked, I noticed my score has gone up to 786 with all the derogatory and collection account deleted, wow! That was like a magic and the best thing that has probably happened to my life. With the joy on my face, I contracted him again to fix my wife’s credit profile and my Chex system and he pulled through again. I strongly recommend DPROTOCOL for any form of credit jobs.

It seems to me that no matter what happens two classes of users are going to be created: those that can pay for security and those that cannot. Ultimately Apple's pricing means all their users are first class - hence security as a bread-and-butter feature on their platforms. In MSFT's case they're going to have low and high cost consumers, so they segment those users into the two relevant classes.

None of this is good, for anybody involved. IT security is like vaccines, it only works if everybody's got them. This one of my biggest issues with the current "ads let us have free software" defense of the advertising craze. Ads let us segregate users based on what features they can afford not to have, and unfortunately for most laypeople it's security and privacy that's on the chopping block.

Not sure what you're talking about, Facebook explicitly confirms what NYT writes???

>Did partners get access to messages?
>Yes. But people had to explicitly sign in to Facebook first to use a partner’s messaging feature. Take Spotify for example. After signing in to your Facebook account in Spotify’s desktop app, you could then send and receive messages without ever leaving the app. Our API provided partners with access to the person’s messages in order to power this type of feature.

Facebook is trying to spin it in a positive way ('you had to sign up first!!'), but nowhere did you agree that Spotify could read all of your messages.

As far as I can tell, race has no taxonomic significance when applied to modern humans, because all modern humans are the same species. The system for grouping people together by facial features seems to be a social construct most of the time. I can think of a partial exception to this rule: facial features which can be linked to diseases and injuries (for example, the tell-tale evidence of stroke make it possible to know stroke-victimness by face). I call that a partial exception, because there are groups of face-affecting conditions which look similar.

What do we mean when we talk about human races anyway? I've been thinking about this for a few minutes now and I am stumped.

Plan 9's features from 1990 coming to windows in 2018?
I was searched at the border a few months ago on my way in via car from Vancouver to Washington. It did unfortunately appear to be the case that they had selected a significantly larger number of non-caucasion looking people for searches that followed mine (I'm caucasion), thought I hadn't noticed until my girlfriend pointed it out to me. However, while I was waiting for them to finish searching my car, I spoke with a caucasion fellow who happened to be Canadian with a German passport. Based on what he described, they decided that he must have been trying to work in the states without the right visa. They then proceeded to molest him and his personal privacy for 4+ hours. He tossed me a pamphlet that they gave him indicating that they had the full legal right to do so and he was more or less screwed. I proceeded to start deleting every avenue they'd have to view chat messages, emails, photos, anything, but there really was only so much I could do. Fortunately, it seems like they just wanted to try and intimidate me. The search seemed to be a formality. From what I hear, similar things happen on the way into Canadians to Canadians. It's a strange world we live in, and I wish all the good fortune in the world to those who try and fight it.
