I think most of the bandwidth would be computer -> brain, not the other way around, assuming it can teach your brain to retain knowledge and show it images/movies. The only exception would be if we could significantly alter the perception of time, but I'm not really betting on that despite how useful it'd be.

Even if I could only accurately sample 1-8 bits/second from the brain, that would be world-changing. There are a lot of clever people who could stuff a lot of utility through 8 bits/second given you are paired with a powerful smartphone and a proper "UX". Clever encoding schemes and signals could be developed. Especially if you go for sequences/chords that are executed over 1-4 seconds.

Plus the brain would likely just act as an index to fetch info that is then replayed to you. I really don't need a terabyte in the form of neuron connections when storage and computing would be ubiquitous.

The taxpayers made $96B on those loans [1]. The issue then was that everyone was buying those CDOs because they were AAA rated, things like the pension funds and the banks themselves. I'm saying that if only individual investors are buying the corporate debt, it's not a systematic risk.

Be careful with subpixel rendering settings. On a rotated display you have to rotate the subpixel order but for some reason X can't do that (there is just a global one for the whole desktop), so you'd have to manually setup 2 X screens.

Some people do not become anxious from cannabis, that is true.

The problem is recommending a drug with one of the most common side effects being anxiety to a person who has severe enough anxiety to have sought treatment for it and been prescribed benzodiazepines. While it might work it might also trigger a panic attack.
Personally I didn't do a lot of fun stuff (like riding motorcycle, extreme sports) to decrease probability of an accident, even though I'd love to (I'd tried them, loved doing them, but not doing them regurarly).

As for cancer and heart disease, both are linked to aging or genetically inherited mutatations. Heart disease is a natural result of damages in the human body not being reversed.

Doesn’t it make more sense to model counting of string length using natural numbers instead of integers?

It’s sort of like a dependent type which ensures you cannot represent invalid values.
Also, as the article posts out - it's not exactly trivial to deploy https across their global mirror network or to make it work with local caching proxies. That's an easy thing if you've got a handful of servers or a few load balancers, but not so easy or practical for their use case.

(Also, remember most of the apt development had already happened way before free ssl certs became a thing. While saying "Why don't then just use certbot/LetEncrypt is an easy criticism, give them credit for having actually build a GPG sig secured distributed software delivery system years before LetEncrypt existed...)

Don't know whether high total compensation of programmers at some elite companies and locations is a bubble or not, but interested in flip side of question: how has and how will it spread? Have any of the many efforts to copy Silicon Valley included a systematic effort to increase the compensation of programmers in the Silicon _ region? Perhaps through a combination of jawboning by boosters and leading employers or investors making a bet that large increases in programmer compensation will pay off?

My previous employer had excellent air quality and I often stated this to others as one of the things I liked about working there. A lot of people look at you kind of funny if you say that but it really was remarkable, and I really felt a difference when working in that building compared to when I went to school and a lot of other places where you stay inside for a prolonged time. I felt much less tired there than most other places!
I run a small SAS company and consult for another medium sized O&G company. The amount of debt I am offered to take on every day is staggering. The O&G company recently took a $200k loan with little to no proof of income, collateral, or anything else. I know of some other small companies with MILLIONS in debt and absolutely 0 collateral to back it up. In the event of insolvency the lender will just soak the loss.
I really like the idea of having independent streams in a single connection. But for some applications I would like to have the ability to have unordered and optionally unreliable datagram channels in the same conmection as well. I have my own networking library that does this based on UDP, but I would rather spend my times on other things than maintaining that.
The analogy breaks down a bit, because it's not easy to stretch papers to different sizes as needed. I used to do this much less often, either because it was maximized or it cut into the space I had allocated for something else. Now I'll just resize a terminal much larger temporarily if I'm looking at lohs where it's beneficial (but wouldn't be all that useful for coding sessions), or pop out a new browser winder to make it larger (a video of some sort, etc).

Since space is less constrained, the size of thugs ends up being much more fluid. Once you end up using many different sizes of things (do I still need ed to see that terminal while watching some video waiting for it to finish? Maybe the size is slightly different to account for that) spending time to accurately place everything very quickly hits diminishing returns past one or two core apps.
How is this possible, if/when the pattern is purely grey when standing still/static?

I don't know if that's what you're seeing but there is a well-known, poorly-understood effect just like it.

This. Visibility into what is actually going on, and the drive to understand it. Troubleshooting, debugging, learning: all the same thing, but tarred with different parts of the process. Dig into what's actually going on and understand the layer under you.

tl;dr: Keep digging, because everything's worth knowing at some point.

It's generally much easier to fix a bug in your own code or infrastructure if you're familiar with the innards of the things you depend upon directly, and learning your preferred platform beneath the current frameworks is a solid advantage because it helps you move sideways when the next New Framework comes along.

But there's also the conceptual side, the general concepts which have remained unchanged for decades, which a detailed knowledge of a specific platform (eg. Java, .NET, Node.js) doesn't necessarily aid with. These probably won't even feel relevant on a daily basis, but will definitely multiply your effectiveness over the long term.

Some things which might fall into that category:

* SQL and relational databases (especially if you're not using SQL, because you'll be reinventing it for any nontrivial amount of data)

* Consistency models and distributed systems (capabilities and limitations; some things can never be waved away by technology)

* The operating system, and principles of its design (not necessarily in any great detail, but knowing roughly how software talks to hardware is very useful, especially when assessing the marketing blurb for any cloud platform)

* Complexity theory (stringing three 'optimal' algorithms together might be textbook, but often you can apply some domain knowledge to cut out a step or two to reduce actual runtime and maintenance overhead)

I've found stuff like graph theory, principles of compiler design, and a working knowledge of assembly code to be useful too, but that's probably the far end of the bell curve for web server stuff :P

Computer Science is a subset of mathematics and it's amazing which bits of pure maths turn out to be useful in my day job. Shame I'm not very good at that stuff... but reading enough about it to recognise when it's applicable can mean the difference between 'picking a good library off the shelf' and 'hacking together a terrible solution myself'.
Biology works slower generation wise than technology. If selfawarenes is based on emergent complexity in pattern recognizing feedback loops then technology can play through billions of scenarios in a short time. We dont need AGI for technology to be a problem. Technology at the intelligence level of a mouse with all its potential physical power through the systems it might have access to can be quite dangerous for humans.
Remember: https://blog.apnic.net/2018/01/29/measuring-quic-vs-tcp-mobi...

In fact, our experiments showed that QUIC always consumes more than half of the bottleneck bandwidth, even as the number of competing TCP flows increases.
Actually, this is my favorite answer, because it’s absolutely THE way to profit from terrible economic practices. Borrow money, and never give it back. That IS the correct way to come out a winner when it comes to operating stock ownership.

Greenland has about 7 metre potential sea level rise equivalent in ice sheets (which is mildly astonishing given the size of the island) and Antarctica has about 60 metres.

But even a couple of metres spells disaster for most coastal cities, and the 600mm projected rise over the next 80 years increasingly looks to be unduly optimistic.
The most interesting thing here is that this took down the bastion boxes that allowed PROD SSH access. I would argue that was the biggest red flag by far. As the author points out, if you can't access the machines somehow, you are pretty screwed. Great job that you managed to get back in anyway, but really the production access mechanism should be as dumb, simple, and standalone as you can make it.

We use multiple bastion hosts with user accounts provisioned by Ansible. There is one in each data center, plus a "shell" box at AWS that lives outside the firewall and also has SSH access to everything we need. All the bastions can access every server.

Plus, some of the mission-critical boxes actually have SSH exposed to the public internet. I would much rather take the security risk with (key-only) OpenSSH than the risk that I get locked out of PROD when I need to fix things after a 2am page.

It is entirely possible to make a box so secure that you yourself cannot access it, while not actually doing much to defend against more "reasonable" security risks, like typo-squatting and spear-phishing. It's all about the threat model.
Thank you for your follow up. I found it quite helpful and insightful.
What is simple? What is simple enough? For who?

This is entirely subjective and meaningless unless you have a way of measuring it objectively.

All it’s actually doing is making people change things, basically arbitrarily, in the hope it’ll make things better.

Maybe the intent is vaguely in the right place, but I’m pretty skeptical of any kind of magic bullet for making people make “good” user interfaces.

I think it is far from clear this will make things better, not worse.

I think Moravec's arguments on the same subject "When will computer hardware match the human brain?" are a little less cranky than Kurzweil's and his prediction from 1998 "it is predicted that the required hardware will be available in cheap machines in the 2020s" seems to be panning out. https://jetpress.org/volume1/moravec.htm

I feel that there is a significant difference between funding and owning/building. I also feel confusing the two harms both the value of grants and the legitimate privacy concerns for public sector tech projects.
I really wish scientists wouldn’t do this as it completely undermines the data. The opponents of doing something about climate change jump on these political statements to show scientists are somehow making up the risks to keep themselves employed. Just the science please.
Interesting, you're right for this type of things "MIDI" controllers usually had to resort to HID (e.g. platters on most DJ controllers), I'm curious to see how people will use MIDI 2
> Companies already can have their own 4G networks in factories etc. It's fairly common in mining or oil fields.

Without getting special permission from a carrier? The ability to set up your own wireless equipment that can supply normal phones is an important use case.

> Bandwidth not owned by carriers is also not new. LTE-U is a recent example.

Wikipedia says LTE-U died. And as far as I can tell LTE-LAA only speeds up existing LTE connections; it can't work standalone. There's MulteFire? It's only half-developed though.

A while back I read about a study that found that when a woman is friendly toward a man she doesn't have sexual feelings toward, often the male will mistakenly believe that she does, and act on those feelings.

My response was, how is the male supposed to tell the difference? If there is a clear, observable behavior difference between how women behave when they are sexually attracted, and when they are just being friendly, then females should explain it to males when they get old enough to be interested.

On the other hand, if there is no observable difference, then females are just creating problems and should not be surprised if things go badly.

Women want to be respected as equals. That's fine, but in some ways respect has to be earned, and part of how you earn respect is by being open in the signals you send other people, instead of expecting them to read your mind, and then being upset when they fail to do this correctly.
Improve your messaging program by preventing people from sending messages. Good move.
Cheers! I hope you didn't take my original comment as a criticism, which wasn't at all it's intent. I meant it as a prompt or prod, and at a general audience, rather than you specifically.
> As for it being 'game over', why?

Because, the further part of the story goes, machines think quicker and they'll go on improving even quicker, all while having potentially different goals from us.

To be completely fair, the facts on the table are: 1) no one knows where the "intelligence ceiling" is, and 2) in many tasks where machines outperformed humans (image labeling, porn classification, speech-to-text, games like go or chess) they keep on improving, sometimes well beyond the human level.

That's a fair point given the way I phrased my reply, but TARP is far from the extent of the cost of the financial crisis. The resulting market crash, credit crunch, unemployment all play a role in making this much more than a private issue. The fed estimated the cost to each American at $20-80K. [1] Also TARP could have very easily not made money, and bailouts are certainly not guaranteed to make money the next time around.

I believe SCTP would fill in for that use case. For server-server communications there shouldn't be a problem, but I recall there's issues with client support & firewall rules, and I don't know if that status on that has changed if you need that. I also recall there being SCTP over UDP, but you lose some features there.
Sorry, no, I'm not using Gandi, I actually have a legacy account in Zoho that I use (from back when POP3 was available on free accounts), but the logic is the same.

The emails get accepted into the Zoho mailbox, then forwarded to Gmail. If Gmail rejects the forwarded email (due to DMARC policy) then I get the failure notification, not the original sender (as the failure is that Zoho was unable to forward the email to Gmail, not that Zoho didn't accept the original email from the sender), and that email will be retrieved by Gmail when it next does it's POP3 check.
Thorough and thoughtful.
Another part of this is the rise of 'rebates' for PBM's and insurance companies, that does not change the price paid for the drug.

Steve didn't believe most of the stuff he said. I used to work for him, and he got monthly reports from his PR firm. One section each month was filled with pages of quotes for him to say to be perceived as a visionary. He used them regularly, and most of his most well known quotes came from those pages. They were completely unrelated to the way we were doing things. And, obviously, we had plenty of middle managers.
I think this is an interesting comparison.

It's kinda established that if you park like an asshole, someone might call a towing company, and they'll charge you a fee to release your car. In that case you've got a potentially shady towing company and their legal people lined up against an individual who owns a vehicle that was parked somewhere problematic enough that the tow company was prepared to risk towing it.

There's a different power dynamic when it's small local shady towing company versus VC backed "growth hacking" disruptive startup, who potentially have some fairly high powered legal services if not on retainer themselves, quite like available to them via their investors or stop accelerator...

I read recently Uber were talking about getting into the bike/scooter rental space? Pretty sure I'd advise against local small business towing company/franchise from risking getting into a lawyer fight with Uber...

Looking for Technical Cofounder- B2C AI Driven SAAS Product
Looking for a strong technical co-founder, who can be the CTO. Its a B2C AI startup (one of the 2 founders has entrepreneurial experience having started 3 ventures in the past, was early investor in another startup) for consumer shopping, savings and enabling brands to sell more to existing or new customers.
The concept is fairly disruptive/ novel and it addresses a very big consumer retail market (even if we target few segments to start with).
The initial business plan and product prototype has been created but to get to the next level, need someone with below competency:
1. Has built consumer tech/ B2B software products/ platforms that scaled to 20 mil+ users.
2. Must be a US citizen or GC holder and staying in US.
3. Can be fairly hands-on in the beginning for us to take the product to next level of launching a beta.
4. Has good connects within VC/ startup investment community.
5. Should be technically strong with experience on web app/ SAAS based product backend, frontend and use of machine learning, big data.
6. Prefer good experience in consumer retail & CPG, e-commerce.

Forewarning: I'm in the "personal autonomy" camp.

The article (novel?) was o.k., until it got towards the end:

>"But while some applicants for euthanasia are furious with doctors who turn them down, in practice people are unwilling to take their own lives. Rather than drink the poison or open the drip, 95% of applicants for active life termination in the Netherlands ask a doctor to kill them. In a society that vaunts its rejection of established figures of authority, when it comes to death, everyone asks for Mummy."

The author doesn't even address the byproduct of attempting (and failing) suicide, nor do they address the success rates of suicide compared to euthanasia.

Stating that people hide behind the state to perform something that they're unwilling to do themselves is, to me, a myopic statement. In that statement, they're not even addressing the fact that it takes two drugs, which someone couldn't administer themselves (in succession) for it to be successful (medically induced, that is). They also don't address the "surprise" of suicide versus the foreknowledge that euthenasia affords and how the trama of the former is potentially exponentially worse than the latter. Finally, they don't even address the will of seeking the process, what occurs between the request and the action, and how long that takes. It's not as if I could call up a doctor and it happen on the morrow...
That's an excellent idea!

There was a check for a negative difference before the array access, so signed arithmetic would have hit that check. Well, at least for any reasonable definition of signed arithmetic.
I disagree. The original article described the children as surrounding or mobbing the elder, quoted people who described the scene as "horrific", quoted numerous people condemning the event, and connected it to racism. They didn't offer a conflicting perspective at all, creating the illusion there was universal condemnation of the apparently horrific action of the boys.

I think this particular instance is minor, though unfortunate for the unfairly maligned children. What really worries me is just the judgment of the paper. They should've known they didn't have the whole story and that the whole story would be available on video. Why not wait until you knew the relevant information? I can understand people making mistakes, this scenario just seems so simple and obvious though and I can't believe they botched it. It makes me worried - how can I trust them to handle complicated issues?
