> Verizon, Comcast, and the rest of the telecoms are in the low to mid teens or worse. That's pretty close to the S&P 500 average margin.

I would want to see the margins for just operating high speed internet service. I suspect their overall margins are lower because their financial picture is clouded by things like cable TV and content costs. A big reason why telecoms suck is precisely because if you just want high speed internet, they force you to buy all their bullshit content as well (for me, it's cheaper to buy internet + cable TV than just internet!), and they make it hard to buy that content any other way. The main action I'd like to see taken against telecoms is to force them to spin off their content businesses (and they never should have been allowed to buy them in the first place).
The existing SOI model is still good enough to give a more intuitive understanding of orbital mechanics. Also did they ever fix the Jool system in Principia? Never played with it but iirc there was an issue with Jool where one of the inner moons would very quickly be ejected from the system.
That seems like a separate issue to me, the general consumerism around wanting a new car/phone/widget every year or two. For the time being though, I don't think that's necessarily a problem with electric cars. Sure, some people will sell their electric car and buy a new one every two years, but that creates a used electric car that someone who can't afford a new Tesla can buy, thus removing another ICE vehicle from the road. Of course in an ideal world we'd all drive our 1995 Honda Civics until they rust out from under us and THEN buy an electric car... but that's not realistic.

Like the others have said, the bodyweightfitness subreddit is a great resource. I just want to stress if/when you get to using gymnastics rings, don't just jump right into them, be very careful with your form. Also be sure to that you have not progressed too quickly and are actually doing the exercises you should be doing for your strength level. I've injured myself on them multiple times (the first time I was just doing something dumb) and I'm currently on the tail end of the recovery of another injury. I would imagine this just has to do with the fact that each ring is independent of the other, with many free degrees of movement, which makes it easier to slip into form that is bad on your body.
That being said, I love body weight training and starting it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

How about another set of registers, which can be written by one CPU, and read by the others?

Could channels be implemented as co-processors with access to memory, going through the cache? I know there are instructions to fix cache lines.

I suppose some of this could be accomplished by compilers on current hardware, if they had information about CPU cores being targeted.
I don't think that's true.

I disagree with the article as well. Whenever I stumble upon really good engineers they are for the most part hyper specialized in what they do.

I would like to add that after I stopped saying yes to everything, my career took a upward trend. It wasn't until I said: you know what I'm python-django specifically django developer, and won't do anything else, that I started getting progressively better jobs in the area I'm actually an expert on.

Then there is the business cut cost part of it, which annoys the hell out of me. Most managers will (conveniently) tell you should be open to learning new things, because "personal growth"... the reality of the situation is that you will end up over working yourself to death covering responsibilities that should be for a new team mate.
Sure I think that’s a good way to think of it. When you do, it seems odd that you’d accept the possibility of inputs that can stop the entire system working to the extent that no new inputs can be tried for hours. In retrospect, that’s a mistake.

There are other ways to control change and limit breakage other than just tests - dev networks at smaller scale, canaries, truly segregated networks, truly separate control networks for these inputs etc. All have downsides but there are lots of options.

We would not accept a program that rewrites itself in response to myriad inputs and is therefore highly unpredictable and unreliable, and config/infrastructure should be held to the same standard.

Are takeoff G-forces actually higher than braking G-forces at landing? I think they're probably comparable given the speeds and runway lengths are similar, so you would just be swapping the seatbelt discomfort from the end of the flight to the beginning. You could also probably make the seats pivot slightly to counteract the plane's angle of attack causing discomfort.
There are some valid privacy complaints about Mozilla but I think they are severely overblown by a lot of people.

Mozilla is very up-front about exactly what telemetry data they're collecting and what it's used for, there's even a pop-up when you first install the browser about it telling you what's collected and how to disable it if you want to. And then when Mozilla makes decisions based on telemetry like removing features that 2% of people use the people who disabled telemetry complain that Mozilla is ignoring their opinions.

The optional syncing service is end to end encrypted so Mozilla can't see the data you're syncing.

Shield is a valid complaint, I am not a fan of it being opt-out.

Search suggestions are disabled by default in private browsing mode and probably a feature most people want anyway. Your query gets sent to the search engine when you hit enter either way.

The battery API was completely removed from Firefox two and a half years ago, that particular complaint is very outdated. Firefox has been tracking cookies by default for a while now too. More strict cookie policies would just annoy the vast majority of users.

Investors don’t need to go to the factories and sporting events to see if the generators are good, because they are not really buying the generators. They are buying the tax benefits, and those are mostly not manufactured in a factory; they are manufactured in spreadsheets and legal documents.
Thats exactly what firefox telemetry data is. It collects things like % of requests over HTTPS, % over IPv6, etc and sends anonymized stats to Mozilla.

Here's the case for GitHub:

Facebook, as mentioned in parent comments, has essentially tapped out casual social networking as a growth driver.

But casual (e.g. your mom and uncle) is the key there. There are many other kinds of social networking: not as large, but large enough to be worth even Facebook's time.

Developer networking is absolutely a large and valuable demographic. Facebook has demonstrated competency is compiling and making social graphs useful.

Ergo, buying GitHub would allow Facebook to move into a new market while offering new features that GitHub couldn't build on their own.

(Note: I'm charting out an "If Facebook decided not to be stupid and just slap ads on GitHub" business case here)

Please keep in mind that currently there are a lot of unqualified people reviewing papers, even at top conferences, as evidenced by OpenReview.net. There was an experiment done at NIPS a few years ago where something like half of the rejected papers got accepted after having been reviewed independently by different reviewers, and/or the other way around. If people can't even agree if paper is good or not, while assuming all results are reproducible, then we have a bigger problem.

To me, getting the right people to review the paper is more important than reproducible code.

Why I’m Not Cheering the Tech Backlash
I’m a generalist and it is awesome!

When I get bored I rewrite my cv and maybe skill up a bit on my own time (or at work) and re-emerge as a new xxx

I’ve gone from support to ops to development to ops to development to devops and I can tell you that I am 100 times more valuable in any role than someone who has specialised for ten years in the same role.

Being a generalist rules, embrace it and get with it just decide what you want to do next and make it happen.

YOU WILL BE AWESOME AT IT BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE LOTS :) it
I believe the common value of being a generalist comes from the fact that you might be less prone to being biased or locked in a tunnel vision when evaluating a situation, since generalists would typically have a more complete world view under various angles and multiple lens. Specialists are often biased with their specialized knowledge and would only know how to apply it even when trying to solve problems outside of their expertise. As they said, when all you have is a hammer then everything you see becomes a nail.

The second law of thermodynamics indicates that our modern world will only become increasingly more chaos, which certainly seems to have been the case so far, therefore possessing the ability to assess the world with an unbiased mindset and under such clarity can be a huge advantage.

Though the most important value from being a generalist probably comes from getting around the diminishing returns effect. We are approaching a state where it’s becoming harder and harder to generate new knowledge in any particular single field, and yet the possibility and potential to combine existing knowledge between various different fields are rarely explored and still widely open.

Most people only specialize in a single track of expertise, they are either a doctor, a mechanic, or a fisherman, but they are rarely both. Those who possess knowledge of any two industries and are able to effectively combine them together will have the potential to generate a completely new piece of valuable information. This in turn will lead to more creative ideas and innovations. In a world where everything becomes increasingly saturated, this is probably the reason why being a polymath or a generalist is going to become much more desirable in the near future.

I think we have our own version of "forgetting" going on, but we call it "no child left behind" and "common core" and things like that. By this I mean it (and tons of other history and other topics) seem to fall by the wayside in favor of "higher scores on standardized testing" - not because of any concerted government effort or anything like that...

Note:

My wife knows about it because she loves Arizona history, in part because she went to school with and is a friend of our state historian's son (or grandson? can't remember), so she's heard lots of this state's history from "tales around the campfire", so to speak.

EDIT: Rethought my response; it seemed a bit trite or something. Wanted to clarify it.
We fly an aircraft with "club seating" (two rear facing seats facing two front facing seats). Experimentally, my son who is prone to airsickness has a harder time in the rear facing seats [which are closer to the center of mass and center of lift and so experience less excursions in turbulence than the forward facing seats, yet he is sicker in the rear-facing seats].

You lose a lot more than just message bubble colors when you switch away from iMessage. Multimedia quality takes a nosedive to 2006, reactions don't work, you lose encryption (SMS/MMS is not encrypted at all), and you miss out on all the other little things that make people like iMessage.

Of course this isn't really Apple's fault, we can blame the cell carriers for being categorically uninterested in modernizing SMS or making it secure.
With everybody now having an iPhone and Macbook, they don't feel that exclusive anymore. So they need to up the game, to show they are still a luxury product.

A $50k computer is certainly a good start from this point of view, Apple needs to reassert itself as a status symbol. They need to get the word out far and wide that they are selling a computer with the price of a good car.

> I didn't see 9 lanes roads in Tokyo and it's bigger than NYC.

That's because Tokyo and NYC are different cities in different countries, populated by people with very different preferences.

My point was not that NYC's public transportation and highway systems are optimal by the criterion of "optimal" that the poster I responded to appears to be using. My point was that the fact that NYC doesn't look optimal to him is not that NYC has simply failed to consider public transportation as an alternative. It's that, as I said, NYC is populated by people with different preferences from his, and NYC's public transportation and highway systems reflect those preferences.

The failure mode of the switch contributed to this accident, and a switch which does not exhibit this failure mode should have been used if possible. If not possible, then the switch should have been moved through a test actuation before reaching a position where the failure mode causes the patient to be killed. This test actuation should be performed each time the table is moved. Finally, the pathway that the switch passes through should be periodically cleared of debris and the switch tested on a regular basis. If the test actuation fails(indicating switch failure) then the table should reset to a safe position.

If that was the case Kik wouldn’t have spent an alleged $5M unsuccessfully trying to settle this matter.

Why didn’t Kik avail themselves to the law and process before raising $100M from the public?
Nursery is way more common here in the States, creche is usually used when someone is writing sci-fi or fantasy and wants to sound fancy =)

This is opposite of what I'm experiencing in the job market.

As an example, I'm looking for a data scientist job and as you might guess, it is a very broad field. So, I thought I would learn the basics of machine learning, deep learning, required maths and programming and then I would search for the job and in whatever field I'll get the job like Natural language processing, computer vision, supply chain analytics, time series analysis, etc. , I would learn that and specialize in that field. But when I started looking for job every start-up wanted that I know current state-of-the-art techniques of their field, which is simply not possible as each start-up specialize in a different set of techniques, for example, some want deep learning, some statistics, some time series analysis, some big data processing frameworks like Apache Spark, some recommendation system and so on and so forth. As a result, I'm still searching for a job and somewhat have lost passion for data science.

So, the only learning that I got from going through this process is whatever field you choose, you have to specialize in that field to have a great career.
It's important to note that while this person seems, you know, not very smart, the laws against unlicensed securities exist precisely to protect this kind of person from getting themselves in trouble.

I'm no lawyer, but it certainly seems like Kik worked to circumvent these laws in order to raise a bunch of money to keep their business alive. I look forward to seeing where the SEC investigation/trial goes.
