Emmy Noether's story is an interesting perspective on the sociology of the scientific establishment a hundred years ago. But (in case the reader doesn't appreciate the importance of the ideas) it's also worth focusing on what is a fantastic and profound result regarding symmetries and how they make problem-solving easy (in a very concrete operational sense). The ideas are so deep that they're not only applicable when there are exact symmetries, but degrade gracefully to also give approximate answers when symmetries are approximate.

> Targets are often useful because they're proxies for the unmeasurable

Not just the unmeasurable, there's a lot of KPIs used because they are easier than figuring out metrics that are meaningful.

Here's some examples I've seen:

Number of Visitors: a large manufacturer with no direct channel considered the number of visitors to their website as the most important thing and this was reported to the highest levels. Without some way of determining the quality of the visitors, or if their experience was valuable, the actual amount is useless.

Engagement: a bank was tracking how many visits and how minutes customers spent on their website every month, they considered more time a good thing. Personally I want to spend the minimum possible time dealing with my bank, preferably zero interaction, making processes more streamlined rather than having more content is key.

Bad metrics allow you to report up the chain that you are moving the needle in some way and justify budgets.

A huge problem in fiction is that it usually greatly overestimates people's ability to understand each other. Characters never make mistakes reading each other (unless it's a part of the plot) When they see something one on another, it's assumed to be true, even though in reality this is extremely unreliable.

Habitual readers of fiction tend to be a chore to deal with, as they overestimate their ability to read and understand the thinking of others, inadequatelly communicate as they assume you should be able to read them, and blame any of the inevitable errors on intentional deception from your side.

This post is full of unfair generalizations and misinformation.

> For anyone who has ever wondered why American Football is so popular in the US in spite of being fairly boring to watch (and in spite of being fairly unpopular nearly everywhere else in the world).

People watch the NFL because they find it entertaining. It's not boring to the fans and viewers. NFL football is a carefully constructed entertainment product that goes to great lengths to remain competitive and engaging to audiences. There are no teams outside the United States so it's not surprising there is little viewership outside the US.

> the NFL receives significant funding every year from the US Government and is part of the PR strategy to promote military enlistment as a patriotic act (1).

The money "provided by the US government" is specifically provided by the US military for recruitment purposes, it is not a significant part of the NFL's revenue (that comes from advertisements). It is also not the only place the US Military spends money for recruitment. They also sponsor a drag racing team, created a video game, host air shows and public events on bases and have two air show teams that tour the country.

> NBC removing Costas for speaking out about the injuries is significant because increased awareness of concussive and spinal column injuries would have no negative impact on the entertainment value of the sport.

That's wrong. By raising awareness of the injury risk viewers now know the big impressive hits they like to see have real potential consequences. This makes them less entertaining to watch. This reduces appeal for advertisers and directly threatens the NFL's core business. I am not defending what the NFL and NBC are doing here but it's really not complicated to follow the motives (money).

> So why suppress Costas? His effort to spread awareness was viewed as undermining the foundation of the game. The idea that the athletes are extremely tough, etc. Worrying about injuries makes the game less manly, and it is the association with manly duty and physical strength that makes the tie-in with military and patriotism so powerful.

The NFL is only tangentially associated with the military and even then only before games and even then only starting around 2009. The selling point of the NFL is not that it is "manly", the selling point is potential (suspense) for and eventual realization of lot of action and excitement.

> It's really absurd how Football announcers have these gruff, hyper-masculine voices and how the entire sport coalesces nearly every negative aspect of masculinity and bro culture (2).

Amazon has a female announcing team for their Thursday night coverage. Many of the announcers were previously NFL players, it is not surprising they would have male voices. I don't see any connection to bro culture whatsoever other than "bros" like to watch football, just like a lot of other people.

> In reality, the NFL has blocked overhead cameras from the telecast (3) because they would reveal significant coaching and execution mistakes that would make the sport seem far less professional.

The NFL is selling an entertainment product. This is editing.

If we set aside the concussion issue for a moment, the story boils down to a sports announcer that admittedly said, " I decided long ago that I had misgivings about football, and I tried to use the forum they gave me to make those points."

In other words, Costas doesn't like football and used his air time during football games to talk about how he doesn't like football. Why would anyone keep him on the air? I don't think we need to brew some crazy conspiracy theory to explain this.

Properly is a very loose term. It is common in speech and literature to use it to mean "an exception so rare that by virtue of it's rarity it strengthens the general rule".

If we are going by wikipedia definitions, then:
"A rural village is "always" quiet. A local farmer rents his fields to a rock festival, which disturbs the quiet. In this example, saying "the exception proves the rule" is literally incorrect, but it is used to draw attention to the rarity of the exception, and to establish the status of the village prior to the exceptional event. "

In the summer of 1812, when Francis Cabot Lowell stole the plans for textile weaving machines as described in the article, the U.S. and Great Britain were two nations at war (or on the cusp, depending on the month).

Are you not maybe specifying too much too early on?

Back when I did some freelancing gigs, the general advice I got was to spec a high level, general proposal which included all the client's requirements. Broadly. Then decide on iterables, with the spec (and timeline and effort and payment) for each iterable being done prior to commencing work on it. The key being to have a working system after each update. Sound familar ;D

The client's risk investment in you not completing the project (and them being left with some obscure code and no system) is minimised. Your risk is minimized as the client actually gets to update requirements at each iteration and you get to charge depending on implementation details for those changes. And if they feel you are taking them for a ride, they have a conpleted system up to that point in time, so have the option of looking at other developers. Which also allows you to bail as well without dropping the client with an incomplete project if its not worth it continuing.

My experiences like that went well - frequent communication kept the client informed of progress, they were able to manage adjustments (cost and time to implement), and at the end of each iterable they were left with a working system (even if rudimentary in the early versions) which they could build off of things went south.

I usually got paid more out of those, and ended up doing more work for them because of the relationship built.

If one is already well-versed in multiple areas of software technology (especially development and database administration), this is an excellent book. It surveys the landscape of software data storage technologies, talks about (at a modest level of depth) some of theory behind things like quorums in distributed database systems, resiliency/redundancy strategies during data loss, and a host of other interesting topics.

I'd consider its level of depth somewhere in the middle between specialist books and 10k foot overview books. I recommend it to anyone that has been a software developer or DBA for 5+ years, as I think they'd get the most value out of it.

To see a jacquard loom in action, check out this clip from James Burke's excellent documentary, Connections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itd-4lMoXgI

The clip doesn't show it, but Burke in the documentary makes the same connection as the article, but in a little more detail. He goes from Jacquard -> Babbage -> Hollering ( who used punchcards for the 1890 census), who founded the company which later became IBM.

Really fascinating to watch Burke pull up existing pieces of the modern world and examine their roots. Most of the time, it reveals that most revolutionary innovation was just a variation/consolidation of existing technologies.
Whether people who block ads on advertiser-supported websites are "freeloaders" is a worthwhile question, but "we live in a consumer-driven society buying products from companies that use part of their revenue to advertise more products to us, ergo you should not object to me blocking ads on your website" strikes me as a bit of a shaky argument.
>I think eSports, particularly DOTA2's TI is far, far more relevant to young men than Football

I cannot disagree more. NFL is the biggest sports league in the entire world by revenue by far, even though it's only played within the United States! More and more people are playing video games, but eSports is still a very niche market. You certainly don't see people talking about a DOTA championship match as much as people talking about the Superbowl game on social media. eSports still has a long way to go in terms of general acceptance and social influence.

Let's say someone releases 1.2.3 and then, later, we realize that there was an obscure breaking change. Is the solution to release 2.0.0 and just hope that people realize the old version was broken? Or to release 1.2.4 with a fix that makes the change non-breaking again?

Why should they consider closing the university? It's obviously in a place where there is no better alternative for those students, or they wouldn't go there.

10,000 people is a non-trivial number. Constructing a new 10,000-student-sized university somewhere is also going to need some surrounding infrastructure to support it, which Fairbanks already has, and which (presumably) the new place doesn't have.

If you want to just ship them somewhere else, I doubt that there are openings for 10,000 students in all the universities in the western half of the US.

And if you want to just have those 10,000 students not get an education in preference to building a power plant, feel free to get lost.
The responder sends the reply to whichever address/port the initiator appears to be using. NAT-T is no different in this regard than any other protocol like HTTP, QUIC, WireGuard, etc.

To be fair, it also suffers from the same issue as all of those: when a NAT gateway decides to remap the port (because it hasn't seen traffic in 30 seconds, because it got rebooted, w'ever) then traffic from the responder to the initiator is dropped. So the initiator has to constantly send keepalive messages so the responder has an up-to-date notion of where to send packets. The shorter the interval the more the wasteful traffic; the longer the interval then the more often you get frustrating delays.

I've personally run into an issue where a stateful UDP gateway (downstream from the NAT gateway) had a 30s timeout on UDP flows. The IPSec initiator also sent NAT-T keepalives at 30s intervals. Because of drift and jitter, every few hours the 30s periods would synchronize so that the gateway dropped the state immediately before the next keepalive passed through, resulting in a very annoying 30s pause in activity. Most traffic was going from responder to initiator as the VPN was effectively a reverse proxy onto a corporate LAN, so one result was SSH sessions becoming unresponsive for 30s.

To reiterate, there are no simple solutions to these sorts of problems.

So you will need to pay 360$ instead of 320$. Many people would choose cheaper memory. I guess, almost everyone except some PC enthusiasts (last time I discussed it, the majority of PC enthusiasts thought that ECC on desktop is not needed, so they wouldn't want to pay for it). I agree that ECC is nice to have, but price is real.

The helmet doesn't really help much against concussion as far as I know. It's the same with big boxing gloves or headgear. You cut less or don't break your nose but you still can get knocked out. The boxing part is first hand experience.
Yes, Xhosa isn't "all clicks", as you point out, I've a friend who can speak a little of it, but just my guess about a "click language" people might have half-heard of and assumed was all clicks.

I've been trying to recall where I heard a "pure clicking" language, I've a feeling it was a bushmen docu from Botswana - and it might just be that the hunters used words that only required clicks, or I misheard, etc..

Anyway, http://listverse.com/2018/08/10/10-extraordinary-languages-t... and https://www.britannica.com/topic/click-languages mention Damin, which sounds (no pun intended!) like it might have been mainly composed of clicking sounds?

Yeah, the library is a great resource. Another parent and I were talking the other week about handing-down books, but young kids are absolutely brutal with books. There are books I've already bought 2-3 times. I do look forward to donating the books that have survived to my local library or to another family when he outgrows them.

The thing I really like about this program, that I have a difficult time doing in my own, is a regular age-appropriate book. It's hard to remind yourself every few weeks to try something new. When you think of books you liked as a kid, like "there's a monster at the end of this book," isn't always at the right level for your child and I always err on what he liked yesterday not really knowing what he'll grow into next.

I don't think it's about pro football players -- we're pretty sure the players in the NFL know the risks (well, now they do). Rather, it's about educating FUTURE potential players so that they too can make an informed decision, or the parents of kids who might say, "you know, I don't want my kid to have a bunch of concussions, because that's been proven to have permanent significant damage".

>"but the IKE wants to go from udp port 500 to udp port 500, even if they later agree on nat-t over udp 4500, so you can't have two boxes behind the nat answering IKE connections, right? "

Not at all. The box handling IKE connection is not behind NAT it is in front of NAT, port 500 is on a public IP.

Practically speaking it is usually the same box doing NAT and IPSEC.

>"The flow can go outwards if one end is behind nat, but you can't have lots of ipsec-wanting clients behind same nat."

No, that statement is completely false. The technique used is called "overloading", Cisco calls this PAT. It assigns a unique source port for each UDP or TCP session on the device doing the IPSEC termination.
The question is, is it a worse problem than in American football?

The argument is similar in MMA vs boxing - yes, you are still getting punched in the face and there is no way around that. But with thin gloves and wider variety of ways to get knocked down or out, you are less likely to receive permanent brain damage.

I don't see how that would help as it would just turn to strategy, you'd be aiming to foul out key players with concussions.
