And, as Engelbart predicted, it has created a race. Lets take a look on online content, and we see that - because of vested interests - there's very little in-depth content available (at any price) and plenty of superficial content to foster the dangerous.

This is simply the human condition. It was just as true of written language and illustration. Also, take a look at YouTube. There's quite a bit of in-depth content there in an absolute sense. 90% or more of it might be fluff, but as Theodore Sturgeon observed, 90% of everything is "shite." Yet somehow, we muddle through. Young people with almost no resources and education still manage to create marvelous new culture, seemingly whole cloth.

If we are to have a free society, that means people have to be free to make the wrong choice. Otherwise, we've empowered some entity or another to dictate to us what's acceptable and what's not, and we're no longer free.

All photons can start fires. They arent hotter or colder individual photons, just photons at different energy levels/wavelengths/relative velocity. Heat happens once photons collide with stuff. Heat is a group effort. Get enough photons to hit something and it will warm. Photon colour, and the reflectivity of the struck object, alters the needed number but with infinite photons fire (300*?) is always possible.

Fiber optics could probably collect and point enough moonlight to light a match. If we call fiber a sort of flexible lens, then lenses can start fires.

Exactly this, looking at which regimes the US has supported historically you start to realize that the US gives zero shits about democracies or human rights, they care only about their interests and will prop any dictatorship against the democratically elected leader friendly to the USSR.

Lest you think I’m being unfair to the US only, China does it too. It invaded Vietnam (another communist country) in the 70s and developed an alliance with the United States after the sino soviet split, so that it could hedge against a growing USSR and Vietnam.

In general countries are very flexible on principles, and follow their interests. Realpolitik.
Perhaps they are related.
Yup, lunar landings didn't last long enough to experience the full range of extreme lunar conditions.

This is one of the reasons why lunar bases will actually be more difficult than people think. Dealing with extreme environmental conditions is much easier when they are stable, then you can design around them and deal with them. Dealing with conditions that cycle from one extreme to another continuously over extended periods of time is much more challenging. One point of proof of that is the longevity of the Martian and lunar rovers and landers. Many landers and rovers on Mars have lasted for years, some have lasted over a decade. No lunar rover has been able to maintain roving operations longer than a few months. This despite the fact that lunar rovers are in near real-time contact with Earth continuously. The heat/cold cycles and hyper-abrasive clingy dust make the lunar environment particularly harsh on equipment.
Probably from the perspective of the people on either end, too, over time - I cannot imagine that the RoE and confidence bounds were designed without considering the expected costs of blue-on-blue incidents compared to the alternatives.

I noticed this about phones, if you're using GPS and get a call and answer, guess what, no more GPS. So my guess is the phone cuts off the mobile data, and yeah then you'd see the real coverage.
Seems to be a lot of situations where a bar or two is no service, and others where service is great. So as a determination of whether I can use the phone it is pretty meaningless.
Reversible means you don't increase the entropy of the system. If you relax this restriction, you can do useful work, like powering an arc welder or growing carrots to feed yourself and rubbing sticks together to start a fire. Merely making the lens non-reversible doesn't mean it will suddenly set things on fire.
When we get someone who's similarly authoritarian but understands modern scaling technology, we'll have a real problem. Peter Thiel, maybe.

We've already had a high elected official praised for his understanding of technology, who advocated for legislation mandating how people should spend their money and took other actions on executive authority to bypass legislative processes.

Peter Thiel seems pretty sincere in his libertarian bent. What has he advocated for which is authoritarian?
PEP-8 is a red herring. Aesthetics, however, is not. The beauty of code is often an excellent indicator of its general quality.

You bring up a good point about editing and the value of free/open-source. I've been thinking about this often, recently. It's similar to the troubles plaguing news media. The propaganda may not be as malicious, but is similarly self-promoting, or promoting one's interests. Students have always suffered from bad textbooks, but before the internet we relied on professors to select good ones. Now we just have popularity and the vagaries of Google or upvotes on Hacker News. Of course, professors haven't always been great editors either.

> In that article they mention the organism communicating across its body, i.e. reacting to stimuli in all parts in a correlated fashion, that is the bit referring to a quantum system.

The internal communication inside the cell is classical, not quantic (classic, like your phone). I guess it use some kind of internal hormone, but it may be some signal that propagates in the cell membrane. IANAB.

You can't have a good quantum correlation in something that is as big as a cell (unless you freeze it at ridiculous low temperature that are not posible for now and would kill the cell anyway, or you have a more ordered system like a extremely pure crystal, or you only want some correlation for ridiculous small amount of time).

You can have big entangled systems, but they look more like pair of very clear optic fiber, not like a cell with a lot of water and crap moving randomly inside.

There are also some interesting "big" quantum effects in molecules like chlorophyll. (I'm not sure if they are 100% confirmad yet.) But a molecule of chlorophyll is much much much smaller than the cell and the effect is very short lived.

"Raw" data is that which contains the maximum currently feasible total information content. I think it's surprising that feasibility enters into it, but it does.

In analytics, "raw" often means "the unaltered contents of the application database". This is hardly "unprocessed" or "natural", but to alter it ("clean" it) might lose information which turns out to be important later. An analytics person may express exasperation that the application database is so idiosyncratic. If it were up to them, the "raw" data would be cleaner, or more complete, or less noisy.

But the application database is the way it is because it would be infeasible to drastically change it. Certainly nothing can be done for the historical data that's already been collected. Perhaps in the future, data could be collected in a cleaner or less noisy way, the schemas normalized or redesigned, but any proposed changes must compete with the present inertia of the system, and with the need to maintain existing functionality. That is, any such changes must be feasible.

For physical experiments, "raw" data is that produced by sensors that were feasible to construct and operate given available technology and resources at the time. One might imagine that "rawer" data than that might be collected some day in the future. :)
There are definite a lot of advantages to building with web technologies, it's just that Electron is an excessively heavy way of enabling it since it basically just gives you a webapp with a whole browser bundled in.

It's also worth noting that all of this is a historical anomaly - it's in no way clear that our present technological civilization requires free society to keep the economy going.

Which is to say we need to be clear about our objectives: if free society and individual liberty is important to us, those need to be the goals potentially at the expense of short-term economic growth.
So thinking about this some more, the argument here is that if you use “just” a magnifying glass of arbitrary size and shape you can’t do this. I can buy that based on the arguments presented. Basically it says that the moon emits (really reflects but that’s immaterial) F photons per second per square meter, and while you can concentrate that into a very small area, all of those photons will not be enough to raise the temperature (that is input enough energy into the system) to a sufficiently high level. This is partially because you can’t make a small enough point with a single lens, and partially because there just aren’t enough photons. The sun doesn’t care because it has such a high flux that the concentration ends up being high enough for the area.

The area argument is more important here because the lens cannot increase the number of photons per second, but it can decrease the area. If F = N / (t * A) where N is the number of photons, t is time, and A is area, the lens can change the area, but not to 0. And if you need a sufficiently high F to get to the right temperature, the only way to get there with limited N is to bring A sufficiently close to 0.

If you have multiple magnifying glasses and mirrors I am fairly certain that you can. That is the equivalent of using a set of solar panels that power a laser. But that was not what was postulated in the original thought experiment, so it does not apply.

I am still fuzzy on the thermodynamic argument, but I was never good at intuiting thermodynamics. The argument presented is that if you have one body at 100 degrees C, and you put another body next to it, you cannot make the second body hotter than the first. That makes sense. But if the first body is constantly generating and transferring heat to the second with at most 100 degrees C temperature, and the second body has some way to store heat energy, then it is possible to heat a local area of the second body to higher than 100 degrees C. The storage of energy here is what I think counts.

I am a CEO, but not a particularly excellent one. If I were to Shadow a CEO, I would be interested in...

- the speed they make decisions, especially in terms of how much they know and don't know at the time of the decision.
- the "level" of conversations they are having. Are they strategic or tactical? Or maybe more relational.
- how much time do they spend doing any sort of deliverable work?
- how do they take notes or set reminders?
- how frequently is their admin with them and what sorts does the admin NOT handle?
- how do they deliver corrective feedback?
- how is their time divided between strategy, finance, and people?

Then observing those things would lead to lots of questions.

Also, I would ask who they would pick to lead the company if they retired tomorrow.
"Mainstream" as in something that you could have a reasonable expectation of having a coherent conversation about with any/every human being on the planet. (For example, "baseball" is relatively mainstream. "The Beatles", or "Elvis", slightly moreso.)

As recently as 15 years ago, a "game console" (home or portable) was mostly something upper-middle-class children owned. 10 years ago, we all got smartphones, and those smartphones got app stores, and suddenly everyone owned a game console (whether they wanted to or not), with a constant stream of games—often free games—coming out for it.

Mario got a movie in the 80s. Pokemon got Thanksgiving day floats in the 90s. But in neither of those cases was everyone playing; everyone was just aware of the brand (mostly because their kids were playing.)

Meanwhile, if you union the sets of people who have played just Candy Crush, Minecraft, and Fortnite at this point, it's probably something like half the global population. Gaming really did "blow up" in the last decade.

Because they're the overarching publisher of a international telecom performance specification for which 3GPP's 5G NR is a prospective candidate. Your question strikes me as akin to justifying why organizations like ANSI, DIN, et al exist. That "5Ge" is a label for a real thing (however way you've chosen to define that) doesn't make it technically unencumbered. That we're quoting "5Ge" speaks for itself; I'd imagine an objective of ITU specifications would be to eliminate such marketing bullshit and public misdirection.

> Lenses and mirrors work for free; they don't take any energy to operate.

Wait a minute. Does that mean that I could get a tiny solar panel and light it up with a lens, instead of getting big panels? Energy output of a panel is proportional to the amount of light that hits it, right?

I guess that lenses are ‘free’ only if they have no impurities, but even then, assuming solar panels are costlier than plastic lenses, I could save money.

Come to think of it, how is it that I haven't seen or heard about parabolic reflectors with solar panels in the focal point? Right now I've found an article about parabolic troughs that are apparently used to heat old-school fluids instead: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parabolic_trough
So what you're saying is that there are more people who can associate with social ethics vs. specialised areas of programming? And this is a revelation?

First, I recommend golangci-lint [1], just because it's much more performant (and designed to be from the start) than gometalinter. It uses much of the same code.

Some of the more useful linters, like deadcode, can be a little too slow to run in an editor like VSCode. We run the full linter list as part of our CI tests, and then in development we run it with "--fast", which runs only the fastest one. I've disabled megacheck, which didn't work with Go modules the last time I tried it.

Among the prominent ones I use, all enabled by fast mode, are ineffassign (as mentioned),
deadcode (detects unused code), govet (runs "go vet"), errcheck (checking for calls where you ignore the error result),
structcheck (finds unused struct fields), varcheck (finds unused variables and constants), typecheck (this does the same thing as "go build", basically), and unconvert (detects unnecessary type conversions). The slower ones that are worth turning on are staticcheck (performs lots of static checks) and unused (checks for unused variables etc., but is slower than varcheck and structcheck, apparently).

The entropy argument is a red herring for your system (and wrong). The difference is that you would have to store your energy from the solar panel for time t1 and then expected it in time t2 much less than t1 to achieve your desired effect. The system in question doesn't allow storing the energy for later quicker dispersal
