Your list of things reminds me of this: http://philome.la/jace_harr/you-feel-like-shit-an-interactiv...

Otherwise, your mention of the mood implications of dressing up reminded me of the many times I've noticed that, after waking up in the morning feeling depressed and shitty, sometimes just pushing through and eating breakfast/getting showered/dressed makes me feel significantly better. Something about getting that last shoe on and standing up and suddenly my brain flips a 180.

From my point of view, if it's a choice between an ecosystem of tools that Google could kill at their whim and an ecosystem of tools floated and maintained by startup companies that could dry up and die at any time, it's a bit of an illusory choice.

Cultural inertia.

People don't just suddenly change their habits because they have more money. I'm in Taiwan and see rich people live with what seems like poor people habits all the time. Everyone is simply used to it and sees it as normal.

I think attitude changes are more likely a result of education and the opinions and behavior of your peers. Limited contact with other cultures and ideas keeps habits and concepts of normalcy where they are.
Agreed - and I don't think 'misleading' is objective, it's perfectly possible for something to be true but also misleading, so the latter should get higher precedence. It still requires some judgement.

For example, one could look up the largest man in the world - let's call him Bob - and declare that 'Bob is the greatest man in the world'. While true, it's certainly misleading, and probably an intentional use of 'great' s different meanings. (Subtler examples harder to come up with on the spot, but certainly exist and would be more effective in practice.)
Is the 2.0 version labeled as such? Or as "new and improved" ?

As others are pointing out, it's worth remembering our monitors aren't necessarily even capable of producing true violet. And I'd add that monitors vary widely in quality themselves. This one I'm typing on doesn't yell to me "piece of crap", because I mostly do coding-type activities on it and it's plenty fine to do syntax highlighting, but sometimes when the rotating desktop background shows the same one on this monitor and the built-in Macbook monitor, it's like, huh, there's a lot of difference there. It really wouldn't be a great monitor to watch media on routinely.

We aren't even all looking at the same colors in the first place.
I think it's combination of:

* The person who pushed for the Inbox project got the promotion/raise they desired and move onto other new projects for further advancement.

* Inbox was too good at quickly managing email, and Google would prefer you spend more time fighting the interface in Gmail and seeing ads than getting this done efficiently.

Call me cynical but that's where I'm at with Google at this point.
More than a few times over the past few years the first time I've heard about some new Google product is the announcement that it is being killed off. That's not the sort of marketing push that encourages one to look out for new Google products.

This competition is already the case with amphetamines. They are not necessary but IMO they do provide a productivity benefit over those who do not take, on average.
I recently looked into this, and now there at least seems to be a --progress option to 'pin add' which shows number of "nodes" fetched/processed (IPLD nodes?). Not sure how to put that into greater context though, i.e. how many nodes are there, and how does it translate into bytes? But it's better than nothing.
It's me or a lot of those points don't explain anything?
I totally get they don't want to open source it as a company but don't try to give false reason for it.

It's not because it's open source that you can't have quality, central design, or good documentation.
I completely agree with you here on everything, I just think that conservatives here could easily get riled into supporting coal merely for political reasons. You're right, there's not a huge quantity of reasons to like it, but in our binary political culture, I could see them getting behind it.

I mean, we have Texas oil barons that are blocking access to public land in the McCall area that has really great hunting, but the Idaho legislators here opted not to pass legislation to help regular Idahoans have access. Why? Private property and individual rights were the big reasons I read, which clearly affects most Idahoans, but for some reason they didn't support them.

> I don't understand why the "Social, Promotions, Updates, Forums" are baked in without being able to customise them.

Isn't this because it's a categorization they do using global information, like spam filtering? If so they would only be able to support the specific categories they are trained for across all users, so they couldn't support custom categories.
I've used it for letting customers know that artwork is ready for approval on a custom printing site. We give them the option of notification between email, text, and browser notification and our artists average creating a proof for approval in under an hour. Last time I checked, we have about 5% of people opt for browser notification only which is higher than I expected.

The Inbox shutdown made me finally make the switch from Inbox/Gmail back to a mail program (Mailspring, but anything else could work), which is definitely good for me on the long term, as it means that switching to another provider will be completely seamless.
I wonder if Google will ever learn that it can't teach users to like something they don't.
Yeah, it's one of those games that's a lot more than it seems on the surface. Which I really love about it, but also means some players may miss out.
> Is that a good idea? Not if the service you’re running wants to be multi-process

You can run multiple VMs. That's probably easier to use too, since you tooling for VMs is based around spinning up more machines, not processes.

> not if you trust your kernel code more than the code of the service you run on top of it

I don't really see how that applies. The application code is still the same. It's just that the OS doesn't exist any more. If it doesn't exist, it can't have bugs.

> and not if you want the ability to look inside your containers (e.g. by ssh-ing into it)

True. But I can't easily ssh inside a process either, which is what a unikernel is more comparable to. The only reason I ssh into my VMs is because the application process is wrapped up in an OS. If that OS did not exist, there would be less reason to peek into it.
Inbox was a dream come true for the zero-inbox mentality.
Sadly, I've yet to found a replacement for this tool.
Ever since Google shut down reader, always associated Google with a company that could shut down any of their products at anytime so in general to look else where for most everything other than Gmail. Use Docs and Drive which seem to be here to stay at least as well.

Other companies like Apple shut down Ping and such but very rarely and most are things that were DOA unlike Google. The problem is Google tries everything but doesn't give it enough love to fix the issues and make successful, unless a product is successful. Which is a bit of a catch 22. People know a lot of these smaller initiatives may go away and/or have missing features/bugs so people don't heavily invest in them, and thus Google kills them since not enough interest. Also now people associate Google with privacy issues even though they do some incredible things with that data.

Right. Just send an email to yourself and move on.
Goals are great, sure. And yes these are just goals with lots of wrapping.

But I am tired of having the latest management book wisdom foisted upon me by product and management. Why do engineers always need to be dragged into this stuff? Why can't they be content to have their endless meetings and share their "decks" alone? As Christopher Hitchens was fond of saying about religion: "just leave me out of it."

To play devil's advocate (of sorts)... Maybe the pathology-treatment paradigm needs challenging. Dangers/costs exist for "neuro-untypical" people too, as well as benefits.

Anyone will concede that costs can outweigh benefits for some diagnosed (neuro-untypical/pathological) patients. Is it impossible that benefits outweigh costs in neurotypcal patients? My experience is that professionals are uncomfortable with that thought.

I was one of the kids prescribed stimulants in the early days, circa 1990. Even as a kid, I smelled wierdness.

One doctor prescribed the medication, and asked for teacher feedback. If the drug did its job, then I had ADD. The test was comparing behaviour on & off the drug. If I didn't have ADD, the drug wouldn't work. Later on, the doctor told my mother: "If you take it, it'll do the same thing. It boosts concentration in everyone." This was a slip, kinda. They prefer if patients (and professionals) pretend that "the drug only works if you have the pathology, and is very dangerous if you don't."

I think the medical system is uncofortable about "enhancement" generally. For something to receive treatment, it needs to be a pathology, untypical... I sympathize with the reasoning, "first, do no harm" and also the potential reality of such drug use becoming more common.

Often times, this gets abstract... "what is normal, man."

Anyway, I don't think ADD drug benefits or costs are, in reality, very closely correlated to your unmedicated baseline. Besides biilogy, a big factor is your job/school/environment, and what it takes to perform in that environment. If you're a football player or a film director, add drugs probably won't do much. If you're a chess player or ceo, they probably will, regardless of your unmedicated norm.

The autopilot behaves like an illegal street racer in that video (extremely tight turns) and this happened while it was only a few seconds away from colliding with a motorcycle.
I'm using them. The web interface is a bit clunky and occasionally hiccups in chrome but otherwise is pretty solid.

I only have 2 issues.

Syncing across 4 different devices (phone, ipad, mac, and web) is eventually consistent. It can take hours for everything to sync up. Most of the time it's instant but I've had plenty of times where syncing on one device gets stuck for hours.

The other issue is locked notes. If I use FaceID/TouchID instead of a password, syncing gets absolutely trashed. It looks like it's re-keying the encryption for every locked note. (I have hundreds of them.) It's easier to just disable FaceID/TouchID for locked notes.
I love that the new "Download Chef" page requires you to fill out a contact form in order to download it.
Hydro's biggest issue is peak capacity in addition to possible ecosystem issues. Barring tidal generators they tend to be built up. I would question the "how" of being better. Durability I would certainly grant given the Hoover Dam it has worked for 83 years proving cheap power.
In the case of Europe that would actually lower biodiversity. The land has been cultivated for so long, and mostly with low intensity, that nature has adapted pretty well.

There are many plants and animals living in the hedges, stone walls/hills, grazed fields etc that wouldn't be there otherwise. (And even completely new bioms, like heath land [0].) The land cultivation left plenty of space and weeds for them.

But then, the same was true for the Amazon, which was not the untouched wild forest that the West considered it at all, with millions of people living there and changing the land before contact [1]. One theory is even that the forest is as big as it is due to this history [2].

The relationship of nature and humans over cultures and times is quite interesting and relevant, I think.

In western culture, there is this historical dichotomy (dating back to at least the Greeks if not Mesopotamia), of humans being completely separate from nature, and their civilized, ordered but distructive, maybe even evil character, and the wild and noble wilderness, pristine and innocent, on the other side. (Consider also the views on indigenous populations during the age of colonialism.)

This is not a view held in all cultures, and this plays heavily into this kind of discussion under the surface.

I guess one of the nice things about the modern world is that there's lots of different activities one can choose. Like basketball? Play basketball! Like Crossfit? Do some Crossfit. Like running? Go for a -

OK - no one really likes running...

All these activities have casual social groups attached to them you can join. If you miss a meetup, someone's gonna check in with ya.

The initial bump to make it habit is hard, and it could take a few tries, but that's true for any positive habit.
Thanks for the encouraging words.
I see.

That doesn't apply to the present subject though; Idaho uses mostly snow, and for a reservoir that buffers most of a winter's snow, a day's peak/trough energy consumption is a rounding error.
That's because Google is built like an accelerator. Look you can argue that Google's brand is being damaged but you know what's worse than a few dents in your brand? Destruction to your brand. Look at a company like Kodak who missed the boat on digital cameras (despite having created the first one). Google makes 100 bets a year so that it doesn't miss the next digital camera, or phone, and so on...
There is a very small risk that artificial transgenic DNA sequences can cause "transformation" (horizontal gene transfer) from the genetically modified plant to wild bacteria, with unknown consequences.
> Google should have a graduation mechanism for a product they launch, where they publicly announce that a product is out of beta, and can be depended on to exist. And if the product isn't ready to be supported, they should continue to have the 'beta' moniker attached to the product name.

They do this, at least for their cloud offerings. A number of their products here are explicitly listed as beta:

https://cloud.google.com/products/

And here's an example of an announcement of something going out of beta:

https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/compute/python-37-for...

I can't find a reference from some quick searches, but I remember reading that part of GA is a guarantee that if they do decide to discontinue the service, they're required to give quite a bit of notice and support.
I use Feedly pro and the Reeder app on my iPhone for RSS now. Only because Feedly made migrating away from Google Reader super easy when that whole thing was happening.

I stick with iCloud for my email, cloud stage, documents, and etc (with the 2TB plan)

The last thing I am mulling over is moving my "professional" email away from Google Apps (or whatever its called now) to Amazon email or something... but the fact that I can't decouple that google account from the email has stopped me so far (Thanks to bad past decisions and single sign on).
The project seems to be just for personal amusement.
Probably Google Drive as well.
No, you don't pump anything. You just vary the flow rate. The flow is never going to less than 50% (and the load isn't either.)

Overall the flow management (at least with our dams in the Cascades) is more about making sure the reservoir doesn't overflow or dry up than it is about making sure that the river doesn't run dry. There's a huge amount of snowpack that builds up every winter, even with the glaciers receding over the past 50 years.
Exactly for actions like this which they've done in the post. Would you prefer a more obvious switch on setup?
E:D grindy? I got to Dangerous or Deadly on the original Elite. That's grindy. But we loved it anyway because there was nothing like it.

I did play Eve around the time of the Beta and for a while after release. Set it to train a skill while I was sleeping, set it to another skill in the morning, and then played a couple of hours when I got home from work. Then I realised I already had a job.
AIUI, ipfs is not "infeasible" to block - so it's nowhere close to an actual "solution". You'd also get the same sort of copyright trolling that you have with Bittorrent downloads today - the technologies are quite comparable.
It's Lisp not LISP, it's not an acronym. Also Lisp is not inherently functional. Common Lisp is mostly imperative/object-oriented language for example.

Functional programming isn't taking over because it's not the best fit for all tasks. Each programming task needs the best tool for the job. Multiparadigm is the way to go.
The Idaho legislature is totally dominated by farmers (I mean this literally: The Idaho congressmen are primarily farmers.). These farmers are allowed way better deals on hooking up solar and providing it to the grid than city consumers. In addition, a large number of farmers already have solar panels since grid hookups are very expensive.

The "California arbitrage" has been very profitable for Idaho for many years: This involves selling California renewable hydro, for which they pay a premium, and buying coal from Utah to replace it. (Ever driven north of SLC to Idaho on I-15? Those high voltage transmission lines are there for a reason.)

If I had to bet, I would suspect the lines from the Nevada coal plant also supply California, and Idaho Power will sell the solar production there.
I agree it definitely walks the line of malpractice. I'm just happy to be moving on.
Wow, a web app that does something useful and doesn't have a host of bleeping social-media buttons. What a rare gem these days.

IMO, it makes more sense to require that the permission prompt is tied to a button instead of directly triggered by a script.

IE, the only way to display the permission prompt is to put a button on the page, and then the permission prompt is only shown when the user clicks the button.
I wouldn't say it's inherently inefficient. It's certainly inefficient to devote the products of cropland to raising animals. But there's a lot of scrub land out there that isn't suitable to intensive farming but where you can still graze cows.

So from an efficiency perspective we wouldn't want to entirely eliminate meat production, just drastically curtail it. But from an animal suffering perspective and a "methane is bad" perspective maybe we do want to eliminate it.
