People were saying he was a crackpot just because he was saying that it was possible to defeat aging before it was cool to say that.

He is the leader who put himself out there and made it possible for all of these mainstream scientists to pursue anti-aging research seriously in the open.

By the way,his theory is still better than a what many of the mainstream scientists propose because he attributes aging to a more comprehensive (and therefore more realistic) set of problems.

Take a look at http://sens.org

Its actually similar to how people claimed Ben Goertzel was a crackpot, just because he was willing to promote AGI research when it wasn't cool. It always takes some 'crackpots' (i.e. leaders) to do something unfashionable before it can become fashionable and accepted.

Notice how this article doesn't mention de Grey. That is another unfortunate social aspect. The true leaders in science often go unacknowledged. Because society operates as a popularity contest, not a meritocracy.
I'm unclear about your iMessage comment, as Android or other platforms can send and receive messages just fine with users on iMessage.

As a followup, how is Android, or chromium any better in that regard, given Googles plans to disallow proper adblocking as it interferes with their business model?
Neither is the solar system.
That's not how I'm reading that quote at all. Saying Bayesian stats can solve real problems doesn't imply frequentist stats can't.
Purely as a user, I don’t want to deal with 5 competing app stores. That sounds like a mess.

Plot twist:

the worth of shares in the hands of the investors is highly dependent on Zuckerberg being at the helm & maintaining Facebook on the course.

If they ousted Zuckerberg, or curtailed his power to make decisions, the shares' worth would enter a slow, but inevitably terminal, decline.

Side note, I disagree with, and condemn Facebook's certain practices. The above post is only to indicate the company as a whole is a highly efficient money making machine.
Furthermore, they're based in a jurisdiction that's subject to warrantless blanket subpoenas with zero oversight. They may not be selling our data explicitly to the lowest bidder, but everything they gather is still accessible to whoever sits in the White House and whatever their minions think would be fun to dig up.

What makes Apple different is that since their business model doesn't depend on gathering and selling our data, their infrastructure gathers less data. And it sounds like they've taken active steps to make sure they gather as little as possible and that it's as useless as possible for nefarious purposes.

That takes extra effort in software design and testing, and they're hoping to see the return on that investment by explaining to their customers how that translates to value in our hands. If that's a stance they're actively taking, I think any reversal would eviscerate their image, and that's my reason to actually have a little faith.

It's not as secure as some alternatives, but it's a lot easier to use, and in the real world where not everybody compiles things from source, that matters.
Facebook has not gone anywhere near as far as they could in the pursuit of profits. The past few years have been comparatively benign, based on public knowledge at least.
Are you familiar with hybrid logical time systems like " HybridTime - Accessible Global Consistency with High

The hedgehog and fox. Specialist knowledge is definitely valuable but it isn't everything. And as the OP says: it depends on what domain.

If we are talking about decision-making/leadership: that is the last place you want a specialist imo. Tech is particularly vulnerable to this problem where the culture is often to promote the person who is most able at everything that isn't related to running a business.

More broadly, I think Plato's idea of the "philosopher king" is wrong. The issue is that specialists rarely, if ever in my experience, understand nuance or the limitations of what they know. Again, the last place you want this kind of person is politics.
I was using a brand called Paradontax, which is a stannous fluoride, but it was causing noticeable yellowing which is a common downside to using stannous fluoride. I switched over to the Crest Detoxify Kit instead, and it seems to work just as well, but the whitener it includes not only prevents yellowing, it's clearing away the yellowing I already had, so I'm super happy with it.

I've always been bad with my teeth, but in the last few months month I got serious after being chastised by my hygienist, so I bought a Waterpik, those toothpastes, and a mouthwash for dry mouth, and my mouth has never felt better and cleaner.

Zero. The TSA machines are not limited by software. They will catch fire themselves before killing people. Therac-25 was designed to destroy tissues, cancer tissues but human tissue nevertheless. It is like comparing an m-16 to a rubber band gun. They are both guns, but they are fundamentally different in terms of capabilities with the former.

Yeah it was definitely something geared towards graphics professionals...just found an old magazine ad for it, looks like it had a Trinitron tube and ran for $2700 at the time.

When I had a small web-crawling/automation business we'd get quite few emails like that oferring all sorts of datasets and security holes for sale. We never responded (people already have a hate boner for web-crawlers lol).

Maybe someone with more gray/black hat infosec knowledge could comment on plausability on this but honestly I wouldn't underestimate black hat sales skills :)
He started it. He’s owned it right up until the IPO, and still retains 60% of the voting power.

I’d say that for all practical purposes he controls it (but not owns).

Good thing too. Facebook wouldn’t be the same without Zuck.
Bioengineering 101 for wanna be Biohackers
When I say small government - I only meant that the government should lower regulations and simplify laws. In the case of India, I am even in favour of the government stepping in to help fledgling industries, either because the local industry is so far behind or because foreign companies are deliberatly unwilling to be inclusive.

India does not have the ability to enforce - Lacks the resources to police and the diversity prevents uniformity.

Add to that draconian colonial/socialist era laws.

It is hard to enforce anything if you neither have the capacity nor need.

As an old civilisation India has an enormous capacity to self regulate. Compared to say the EU, India is way more diverse yet a single country and not by force.

A sane change would be to have bare-bone laws and swift justice on - property, business, greater personal freedom in education.

Complicated laws only favour the rich, powerful and definitely the corrupt. If the honest thrive, it would be increasingly expensive to be dishonest.
It just reads to me like he wants to make statistics accessible to a wide audience.
> By your definition

It's not my definition. It's THE definition. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

> addict isn't helpless, because he can reduce his suffering by just taking drugs.

Yes. Being an addict has nothing to do with learned helplessness.

> you experienced ways of handling your boredom to suffer less,

No. I didn't do anything. Just my suffering turned into apathy and I didn't suffer as much.

> Not being able to handle your emotions, to soften them and to have some degree of control over your actions, is IMHO a kind of learned helplessness.

Then update your definition of learned helplesness to match THE definition of learned helplessness. The thing you have in mind is called emotional dysregulation disorder , I think.
Good to know, thanks! I didn't see this.
bollu, multiple people have shown that your claim that the paper doesn't match the code is flat out wrong. I think at this point you should issue a retraction of your wildly inappropriate suggestion of academic dishonesty.

When I said that the sufferers of mental illness objectively do suffer, you did not seem to have a problem and you said that society is the primary cause. (And explicitly not a hereditary disposition, as is generally believed to be a factor.)

Now you seem to be suggesting the conditions are expanding, as if invented, to serve a profit machine.

This all suggests to me that your real opinion is that the illnesses don't exist.

Decisions about what? The low-hanging-fruit software companies have already been built; the most successful new software companies are all about a specific vertical, and this requires specialization.

Trivially, yes it would be best to be 100% expert in programming, 100% expert in marketing, 100% expert in business, and 100% expert in whatever the business domain is, but that isn't feasible. That's why most new start ups have a founding team, not a founding superperson.
> I don't think I've worked anywhere that's put more than $500M into a single software project. That is "huge" cost.

It's not what they put on the project in one go. It is the accumulated cost of developers, infrastructure and most importantly -- the experience and expertise that has been cultivated over decades. Do you really believe you can get a bunch of developers with limited experience to build something that is comparable to iOS/Android in a couple of years?
What does any of this have to do with censorship? Are you saying France is forgiven because they have other progressive policies? Seems like a very strange stance to take.

The biggest place I see a lot of great IntelliCode recommendations so far is React development in Typescript in VS Code.

The top completions in order at that point are Component and PureComponent. It feels more magical than I would have expected, and it is particularly great having that constant reminder of PureComponent, which is very similar to the Now/UtcNow example above.
Thanks for the suggestion. Other friends of mine swear by Foobar2K, but I can't stand the interface (a combination of hard for me to use/configure and bad aesthetics), so much so that I still prefer to use Winamp.
It's from £18k, which isn't unreasonable for a junior web developer with no experience, flexible working hours, and no cost for travelling to and from work. But we're open to all, so if you have more experience and are right for the role, then of course it would be higher.
Talk is cheap. The same applies when validating any product and people tell you they will "buy" it. But when you ask them to pay, they are nowhere to be found.

Using your same analogy, this also means that I have chosen not to vote by not buying any of the luxury German of Japanese sedans. I've had both as daily drivers previously and I do not foresee myself going back. In fact, my wife and I were willing to take two depreciation hits to trade-in our relatively new MBenz sedan and SUV vehicles to go all Tesla.

Also, 99% of the functionality needed can already be controlled on the steering wheel buttons if you are so keen with that. Pretty much everything else is automatic. You are also not being forced to buy these cars, so why the vitriol?

>Every last dark pattern and shady thing they are pushing for with engagement, ultimately, he and he alone is is responsible for and condones.

This is absolutely 100% FALSE. Every single person who works on those dark and shady patterns are responsible for their actions. They choose to work for evil every single day because the money is more important to them.

Why do we give tech employees a moral and ethical pass for the terrible things they do just because they work for a company?

These engineers don't work with blinders on, they know that every line they commit is ultimately in service of getting more people addicted, and more clicks on facebook ads.

Someone above them may tell them to write that code, but they choose to write each line when they could be working somewhere else. Last I heard, facebook hires supposedly intelligent people, I daresay they'd be able to to get a job elsewhere.

They choose not to.

No, it doesn't. Not only is it part of public school curriculum in most (all?) states, it's actively cited by major party politicians as a historical reference in policy debates, usually negatively but at least as recently as the Bush II era occasionally positively by figures on the Right in defense of War on Terror policies.
I've never understood why rank and file employees don't get a vote despite not owning stock.

Arguably, they are the ones most affected with the most to lose. A salaried employee with no stock options likely depends more on their continued paycheck and the continued success of the company than any large shareholder or even the class of employees who hold stock.

Their vote should count MORE than the board.

CEO's are not the ones to be accountable for foreign domestic policy are they.

> Such speculation of voting intentions is disingenuous.

For Brexit, maybe. It was at least a mass vote with an uncertain outcome. But this was a vote which was literally guaranteed to fail - the one thing which can't explain it is the 'normal' pattern where people vote for a result to get that result. It's like watching Congress pass a bill that the President has promised to veto, knowing they can't override the veto. It has to be tactical voting, simply because it can't be anything else.

More concretely, there were two votes happening today - to oust Zuckerberg as chairman, and to end dual class stock. It was common knowledge that both were doomed, so all we can do is see what they suggested. 68% of outside investors supported the ouster, so we see a 17 point rise in the show of no-confidence from the same vote last year. Meanwhile 83% supported ending dual class stock, suggesting a 15-point spread of investors arguing they want more of a say, but are showing confidence in Zuckerberg's chairmanship. Questioning whether those 68% actually want Zuckerberg gone seems entirely fair, because taking the vote at face value would imply they're acting like King Canute, and didn't even understand what they were investing in.
