I think colors are a good analogy. Colors exist and are distinct at certain distances from each other, but things start to get blurry the closer two colors are to each other. For instance, is turquoise blue? Is it green? It's kinda both.

Same with organisms and populations. The farther away (evolutionarily speaking) two populations of interbreeding organisms are, the easier it is to distinguish them into different species. The closer they are, the more things start to look like turquoise.

I've noticed working in design that people generally underestimate the average human's ability to solve problems, even if they aren't technically literate. But any increase in the effort department would reduce the amount of returns no doubt.

The problem with a co-op is that it lacks deep venture capital money bags to fund prices cheap enough to compete with rich companies. Lyft and Uber are both okay loosing money on each ride to maintain market dominance. A co-op doesn’t have that luxury.

Yeah, the problem this one time isn't typing but the JS developers implementing map wrong. Map should not take two arguments. There should be a different function like enumerate in in python for this.
At some point there was talk of allowing Amazon to build a helipad. I'd image that's easier than building a tunnel, due to how close HQ2 is to the Pentagon.

> My assumption is that Linux users(myself included) that use Windows applications(not games), tend to just run a VM in seamless mode for Windows functionality.

Not really nowadays. The seamless mode tends to be broken so hard with Windows 10 guest in Virtualbox, and VMWare's seamless mode (Unity mode) on a Linux host is dropped a few years ago.

Most importantly, I don't want to run a full Windows VM in my low-powered laptop just to use KakaoTalk, the dominant messenger app in Korea.
From what you have pasted, it seems that they just claim to disable those options in their UI?
There are thousands and thousands of applications available for Linux, and even more being developed as you read this. As much as I love Linux and Open Source, sometimes you happen to love a Windows application so much that you wonder if only this was available on Linux I would completely switch
> I know all that, have been programming for 15 years, yet I still would have done the mistake.

I have not done it with parseInt per se, but I have made this precise mistake at least twice with passing a function `f` with an optional second argument in `some_array.map(f)`, and it took a while to figure out what was happening each time.

Now that Javascript has proper iterables and iterators and generators, I have been enjoying using versions of `map` and `spreadmap` which take in a callback function and iterables and produce an iterator. Then I can explicitly use `enumerate` if I want it. https://observablehq.com/@jrus/itertools#map

The extra args passed by map coupled with the optional extra args in standard methods is the cause of a lot of confusion, but this feels like a missed opportunity for demonstrating functional programming. In the end author suggests

['1', '7', '11'].map(numStr => parseInt(numStr));

I think you'd learn something much more useful with

function radixParser(radix) { return numStr => parseInt(numStr, radix); }
['1', '7', '11'].map(radixParser());
> [ 1, 7, 11 ]
['1', '7', '11'].map(radixParser(8));
> [ 1, 7, 9 ]
['1', '7', '11'].map(radixParser(2));

Firefox has weird font rendering issues (tested on Fedora 30). Fonts that look perfect on Chrome look like they bleed on Firefox.

Firefox's containers is also a poor man's version of Chrome profiles. I want completely separate _everything_. Firefox's Profiles is similar, but then you get warnings about Firefox already running when you click a link in a non-Firefox program.

These things are deal breakers for me.

Then don't decide what to block based on content. Decide what to block either based upon the users express choice (the tool would empower the user, not dictate a lifestyle to them) or possibly based upon observation of where the user spends the most time.

The main problem I see with the concept is that it has a poor intellectual foundation. I'd like to see a better explanation of why learning is so dangerous.
Actually no, I play DX9 games from 15 years ago and they are still, well, not there yet.
This is really frustrating to me because I am dependant on a small handful of 32 bit Windows Apps, and happily run them in Wine on my Mac currently.

I've been wondering what the solution would be after Catilina dropped 32 bit support and I guess the answer is I'll probably have to start launching an entire VM.
Google is very good at protecting data from unauthorized access. Many of the people who work there see themselves, with justification, as the guardians of privacy in that narrow sense.
This is obviously all extremely speculative, but it's such an interesting topic I can't really keep myself from posting anyway.

I've had this idea for the better part of my life, that I try to avoid read especially large canonical works deeply, and with few exceptions prefer to read several sources shallowly to reading a few deeply. The exceptions are when I try to learn something entirely new, like a new mathematical topic, or when I encounter something that is both completely at odds with my current mental model, and not obviously false.

From a learning perspective, it could be seen as to adding some kind of noise to input data, and to also have a kind of indirect - but rather strong - validation set through the knowledge contained in the canonical works, as understood by others.

Could this prevent some kinds of over fitting? I honestly don't know, but maybe it could?

It's obviously anecdotal, and extremely so, but it actually seems to be the case that my generalization abilities, my capacity to apply knowledge across disciplines, and to identify behavior on certain scale has had a rather unusual trajectory.

Sometimes it almost appears as if I know things I don't remember ever having learned, or even though about. As if the "data points" have become so numerous that the brain somehow becomess able to generalize over things that one would (superficially) believe to be facts.

Before I realized what was happening, I have had several people, some within highly skilled fields, come to believe I worked in their field after conversing with them for a while. When they realize I'm not, many became confused, and some to the point of being unable to continue the conversation.

Nowadays I generally manage to avoid those situations, but it really was - and is - the strangest thing when it happens.

The market inpounds any new, publicly available information into the price, not merely business information.

This will make me more likely to spin up a ReactOS VM if I really want to run any Windows only software, since running Windows in a VM is very resource consuming.

I was looking at computers at Walmart with only 4GB of RAM, the task manager said 3 GB out of 4 GB were being used, and it was just on standby. I don't know what happened around Windows 8 to 10 but having 8 GB of RAM is too little for Windows, the OS takes up half of it out of the box whilst idle.
A fire in an airplane is a lot more scary than a loss of power (proportionally more so in a small airplane, where an off-field landing is feasible, and increasingly they have ballistic parachutes), while there is currently a well-known problem of fires (that can't be extinguished) in high-power-density batteries. Gasoline is dangerous, but we have learned how to handle it safely.
I think it would be super interesting if they started offering IEEE 1588 v2 aka Precision Time Protocol, but it would be much harder to offer compared to ntp. What they're almost certainly doing here is just running a cable to the roof where they have a GPS antenna and then run it into their datacenters into a time appliance (less likely) or a GPS pci card in one of their servers (more likely) that they then send out to those who want access.

I believe Aadhar is mandatory if you're filing tax in India[1]. And the government earlier in the year passed a bill to undo some of the supreme court protections and facilitate sharing of Aadhar data with third parties[2].

So unless you're too poor to file taxes (or are not an Indian resident), bank accounts can always be linked to Aadhar, even if it happens via the PAN.

You'd trust a company thats primary business model is based on the mass collection, analysis, and monetization of user data to protect your private data? Not saying I trust proton mail, but as far as I'm concerned Google is a malicious actor when it comes to my data same as Facebook, and I believe it's in individuals's best interest to limit their exposure
Wow, marketing spam from a competitor.

We send confidential docs regularly to users, who need access to those docs for perhaps 1 week at most. No one wants / needs to keep these around, but no one goes through their email carefully to delete these items.

If that users email was hacked -> they have a big problem. If we can mark the items for a 3 week retention and then expire those items for them, that great - and this lets us do that.

The whole I can wireshark my network -> 99.9% of the confidential info we send goes to other folks who ALSO want to keep it confidential. Getting rid of stuff you no longer need to maintain is a key way of helping avoid big document dumps.

The proof is in the pudding. Either this will help google sell to business (it will in our case in a big way). Or folks will say it is a stupid feature and decide idiots like Protonmail who can't seem to understand the point of these features now deserve our business. My confidence in a place like protonmail goes down based on this, and I'd love to get a feel for their security history and overpromises (ie, webmail client has got to easily be able to log and hack encryption etc).
Are you sure that's what the market would end up doing? Maybe competition for the people with the most desired combination of ambition and skill set is so intense that the price would end up being >$200,000 anyway.

Companies that are based in San Francisco and the Bay Area aren't just recruiting randomly from the people who happened to live there. The most skilled people in the world move there because there's so many companies that can fruitfully utilize their efforts. Or at least that's how it looks to me from across the Atlantic ocean.

I'm certain I would be more valuable delivering software for a customer base of 40 million rather than the 400,000 I do in my local market, but I wouldn't accept my current salary for that level of responsibility. Hopefully most others think the same; it's in our interest as developers and professionals/working-class (not capitalist class) to make sure we negotiate the highest salaries we are able to. After all, we are programming magical robots that do the work of millions of menial labor employees. That's an incredibly valuable service we shouldn't trade away cheaply.

We've all heard the fable of the 10x engineer. My take is that this is what it looks like in practice.
In my experience the issue isn't so much cutting off the supply but what to do to fill the time. It's not as easy as taking up a new hobby, for me at least. I think information addiction is really tricky because it's compromising a key part of what humans are, information processors. We are always processing some kind of information, all the time.

I can go straight from video gaming to reading a book, but my mind takes a few minutes to adjust, and then once I'm synced up I'll tend to get restless after 15-20 minutes and look for something else to do. If I don't have anything else planned I just go back to gaming. It's pretty tough to escape this loop.
Yeah but it is still a helluva lot harder to leak it, and it isn't as good as showing an email exchange.

>I read (between the lines, and maybe mistakenly) that you consider yourself highly intelligent. With that perspective, the comment sounds like reasoning for why you aren't going to be a good leader and why that is a good thing. Also, it sounds like it might even be an excuse for writing unreadable code.

Humans tend to construct biased logic around themselves to justify their weakness. We lie to ourselves so that we may be happier. In fact, although there is currently a crisis in the veracity of psychology papers, I recall seeing studies showing a positive correlation between how realistic a person was and how depressed he was.

I can tell you that I strive to be as unbiased as possible. I strive to remain unbiased even when it hurts. This is not a trivial skill. I have not seen anyone call themselves stupid even when they clearly are, in fact the way we lie to ourselves is so powerful that even if you are stupid, you wouldn't know it.

That being said I would say I am more intelligent then average. I don't have IQ test scores but I have data that by common sense should correlate. I went to UCLA where the admit rate for engineering 11%. By that fact, I would assume I have above normal intelligence.

I actually believe the opposite to writing unreadable code. In fact I have a bias for readability and extreme abstractions to a fault. I am a huge fan of functional programming. My observations about super intelligent people are of others not of me (note that I only believe I am higher than the average, not someone incredibly smart).

I also believe that I know what it takes to be a good leader, that's why I'm able to identify the traits that make a bad leader and thus come up with this conclusion.

Please stop trying to equate my personal experience with what I am trying to say. I present my views and opinions in a way where I strive to be impersonal. Please judge what I say with the same impassion.

>This perspective seems based on a premise of "intelligence" being a one-dimensional scale where everybody has an absolute ranking. I think this is generally a problem with the "IQ" concept that we've all agreed on. It seems extremely oversimplified to me, at least if we want intelligence to mean something like "brain capacity".

Well clearly when you have opinions about people. In your vicarious opinions you and others often make a judgement that person A is more intelligent then person B. The ranking is based off of that fuzzy general opinion and my thesis is in no way an exact law or proposition. My thesis is just a fuzzy generality that I believe is true.

If anything's gonna change that, it'll be the current crop of kids coming up seeing shootings on the news, then having scary-real shooter drills every year at school. With maybe a side of increased youth suicide rates meaning more of then know someone who shot themselves. It's even spooking the kids in fairly red areas, excepting pretty much exclusively the kids of, ah, very red parents with the gun-related bumper stickers to prove it.

FWIW I think the drills are doing a lot more (psychological) harm than they're worth, but one side-effect may be a sharp change in our national attitudes toward guns, over the next 30-50 years or so.

Well, I tried it out. At least the IMAP is partially mitigated since you basically get a link to a separate web page -- the contents aren't embedded in the email itself.

On the other hand, that means there's no reason to resort to something as complicated as JS injection or dev tools. Screenshots will usually work fine, because messages aren't threaded, so you'll likely get the entire message showing up on one page. They do block Ctrl-S, they use a click handler that prevents it from reaching the browser. Very fiendish, very clever. Except that the save button still works in the menu.

On the plus side, I'm now wondering if that, "go to the top of your menu and hit the file->save button" exploit would make me eligible for a bug bounty, since according to their documentation I should need malicious software to download the message. I guess Chrome falls into that category though?

I don't see how - the whole of the world's early mass production was simply naturally growing the mould in tanks. That was a huge part of the challenge of producing enough volume, and how to accelerate that fermentation and extraction. It was very much a natural product that was effectively farmed, and not much different to producing beer.

That we have now found chemical means of production, and identified active ingredients doesn't change that history. You might not legally be able to label penicillin or opiates as a natural remedy any more, but in prescription medicine the production method is rarely or never labelled.

Because leading 0 implies octal (Base-8). Interestingly, this is also the standard interpretation of IPv4 addresses in that form, where each delimited number [octet] in an IP address that start with a leading 0 should be read as octal.

(That behavior contrasts interestingly with IPv6 where the numbers [segments] are only supposed to ever be hexadecimal (Base-16) and leading zeroes are to be ignored.)
There are well documented instances and for example vaccination against smallpox was found a mere 35 years in 1798 after smallpox ridden blankets were intentionally used at the siege of Fort Pitt in 1763. And inoculation predates that so the disease itself was reasonably understood if not in a particularly accurate to reality manner.
