> I don't think koalas need the space. We're certainly not giving cats and dogs lots of room with chickens for them to feed on. We've been giving them dry and canned food. Another example are horses who eat hay are often in the barn.

The need the space for the trees, they need the trees because they simply won't eat from non-fresh sources. Buying food from the shop like we do for cats and dogs is simply not an option.

> I expect domestication of a wild adult koala to be the same as domesticating an adult wildcat

Why would you expect that given the wildly different starting points? Wildcats are somewhat generalist carnivorous pack animals, quite similar to our selves and species that have been (debatably) domesticated before. Koalas are hyper specialized and very stupid herbivores with no domesticated relatives. There are many species on earth but very few of them are suitable for domestication, especially domestication in modern urban environments.

> as soon as we figured out the moon was just a rock 240,000 miles away, we knew in principle we could go there, even if we didn't know how far off that would be

I have problems agreeing with that specific claim, knowing that both "the rock" and the distance were known to some ancient Greeks around 2200 years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipparchus

Hipparchus estimated the distance to the Moon in the Earth radii to between 62 and 80 (depending on the method he used, as he intentionally used two different). Today's measurements are between 55 and 64.
Yeah, but then again its probably the reason they open sourced it.

oh! man! I'm loving this thread -- there's no question that economic policy is designed as an adversarial game for leverage, especially on the world stage. Taking a step back and seeing how the world has (de)evolved in the past 30 years I'm wondering if selling people what they think they want isn't the best way to bring a society to its knees? edit: and making it just ever so much more breakable to where it's usable but definitely won't last forever..
I’m curious, what arguments have you seen for declawing that are illogical compared to neutering?
That's actually a very good point. The way I see it, although I may be wrong, is that people that have difficulties in reading/writing are a minority, at least in developed countries. Thus, they are nevertheless exposed to a way of speaking that is mainly influenced by the majority, who are influenced somehow by the written word.

On the other hand, what strikes me as a contribution of Internet to the language is our capacity to communicate through videos and pictures. Which means that our vocabulary is narrower. I don't have to be so elaborate when describing my room; I can just take a picture, and tweet it.

> which is not an email someone will ignore

Every developer should take this advice to heart. If a customer asks for 'a daily email report', you should strongly advise against it.

- Most reports the customer asks for will be meaningless vanity metrics anyway

- If you only do error reporting (not sending an email if everything goes smoothly), you won't notice it if email is not being delivered.

- If you report everything (not just the errors), people will stop reading them

- A mailbox history is not a log

- you'll get a request just about every week to change the recipient list of the report.

- Who reads the reports on weekends?

I could go on with arguments for a while, but the short story is this: email is not suitable for logging and reporting. In fact: email is not suitable for a lot of things. But customers will ask you anyway, because that's the tool they know (if you have a hammer, all problems will look like nails).

My advice:

- Log everything to disk when possible (syslog, pipe)

- use a logging aggregator to filter and archive (fluentd, ELK, graylog)

- use an exception tracker for exceptions (sentry, raygun)

- make incidents actionable by creating tickets automatically (jira, zendesk, slack)

- if needed, use an incident response service (pagerduty, opsgenie)

> It's generally a policy to keep pay and pay negotiations confidential.

I know that your general point is about the personal relationships, but I want to point out that this policy is bullshit. You can legally disclose your salary with anyone (including in the US). From my experience in the UK employers don't even try to pull any of these 'policies', although often employees don't go around discussing their salaries simply out of courtesy.
But it's not just NIMBYs that are against the building, it is "the general public" to the point where new housing developments are nearly political suicide. People both want new housing, but don't want highrise buildings changing the skyline (or don't want to live in them), want to preserve the look of the city (which includes keeping some awful looking buildings), do not want to build on any green spaces, etc.
Why Are Markets Efficiently Irrational
Author apparently ran into issues while developing hardware with hdmi output, found out that proper logic analyzers capable of wire-speed capture and analysis of non-video-related data (=transmissions during screen blanking time) are expensive and decided to roll with an fpga based solution as well as document it and how HDMI works.

Quite interesting, especially for those of us designing e.g. host boards for RPi Compute Modules.
From reading the first paragraph it sounds like the author will explain to great lengths why Dropbox had it hard to support filesystems other than ext4.

But then you read the article and it goes to explain how dealing with files is hard and sometimes data corruption and loss occurs (fair enough), but nothing filesystem specific that could explain why ext4 is superior (or special) and had to be chosen.

So it reads kind of like an excuse for Dropbox, only that it isn't.

This is fascinating, a bit in the same way that looking at accidents is interesting.

A good synthesis is: filesystem API design is obviously a problem, given that people that specialize in using them can't do it correctly:

"Pillai et al., OSDI’14 looked at a bunch of software that writes to files, including things we'd hope would write to files safely, like datbases and version control systems ... they found that every single piece of software they tested except for SQLite in one particular mode had at least one bug ... programmers who work on things like Leveldb, LBDM, etc., know more about filesystems than the vast majority of programmers ... they still can't use files safely every time"

Could someone add links to all the words in the definitions, linking to the definitions of those words?

I've seen that done for a different language, though in that case the fully connected component had more than 60 works. I think it was more like 120.

Of course it doesn't make sense to do this competitively because it's so unclear what counts as an adequate definition.

I'm not sure this sort of dictionary would help me learn a language: I think probably not much. But it's definitely fun in a philosophical way.

In my head I'm thinking about the time evolution of the global state, but examining the reduced state over certain subsystems at specific points in time.

Decoherence is a superposition effect, is it not? Entanglement with the environment, i.e. a superposition of system-environment states.

Yes, this is what I mean.

Tbh I think it's unlikely that the parent is still following but I'm continuing for the selfish purpose of trying to better understand your point. That said, I believe that considering my toy example of a global quantum state in one dimension would illuminate their question about superpositions propagating from here and alpha centauri and meeting in the middle.

Wool garments, from a small company set up by a Danish ex Jaeger Corps who was aghast with the quality (or lack thereof) of clothes out there when he returned to civil life.

I don't even remember how I got in touch with them, but I was looking for robust, functional yet stylish clothes I could both wear everyday and do skateboarding with. I just remember buying one for the heck of it early in the company life and be instantly amazed by the fit, quality, and how the t-shirt would cater for sports, casual and professional life. I bought about 10 of those, and then their socks and underwear too. I could put up a day-long skateboarding session with lots of sweating, just hang the thing to dry and it would be fine in an hour, so I could wash them once a week when wearing daily, which is impossible with cotton and has a dramatic effect on lifespan. Very breathable, so nice in summer but also keeps you warm in winter.

The upfront cost seems high for "just a t-shirt" but boy have they endured the trial I've put them through over two years. I definitely recommend following their recommendations for washing and drying.

Nice work, I have been using puppeteer with chrome recently and it is a great piece of kit. If the prototype is successful will you keep the chrome and firefox packages separate or merge them and have an abstraction layer so puppeteer can issue commands regardless of chrome/firefox being used for the browser?
I do agree that most people are boring if you don't try and figure out what's interesting about them.

Discovering what's interesting about someone is an art. The totality of people you will meet have a much wider variety of experience than you could ever accumulate on your own. When I meet someone new, the first thing I try to find out is what it is they have done that I have not, and then I ask them about that. Often, I learn something new and interesting.

In general, people will never realize on their own what you'll find interesting about them, so you have to seek it out actively.

Cosmos Aims to Become the “Internet of Blockchains”
That's a good advice unless "being yourself" sucks. "Be yourself" is non-advice. It can be both good and terrible advice depending on many factors.

Everyone is complex. There are aspects we're comfortable with and others we are not. So you want to improve the latter and stick with the former as long as they work for you, in a sense they help you achieve what you aim for.

Some aspects of yourself aren't really working in some environments so you would just be an idiot to display them while failing to get the results in life you really want to.
>I'm not sure language itself has changed at a significantly different rate than in the past. Internet communication environments do favour changing orthographic norms, which is still interesting, but not the same thing as language change.

Orthography is just the spelling part of the language.

But there's a lot of change to the vocabulary because of internet (new term adoption and foreign word travel are now much faster).

There are also several new syntactic forms (e.g. in memes etc) that might still appear "out of the language" for the more conservative, but are inevitable destined to become part of it as the generations grown with them mature (and they are already all over even "traditional" print media, books, etc. -- even bizarro forms like "doge speak").

And since english is the dominant web/movies/pop culture language, even more change has incurred in smaller languages, where turns of phrase and syntactic forms from english adopted wholesale by younger speakers ("anglicisms").

Not really, actually. To illustrate, if someone asked me what "diarrhea" means, I would answer quickly that it's having a stomachache and runny shits, and it would be an adequate definition, even though I would have to take a moment to figure out its spelling and even then I won't be certain.
I doubt it's that simple. Perhaps they have an AI part that analyzes new images and adds their hashes to the blacklist.

>orthography is not a deep part of language. language has been around much longer than writing systems.

And that era was a primitive, oral tradition, era. Just because something emerged later doesn't mean it's not as deep, or even more important, than what was there previously. Else gestures and groans would be even "deeper" than language (they are with us for hundreds of thousands of years before language).

Also many would argue that orthography is not just "what font you use for writing code", but has deeper connections with the language (historical and etymological for one, orthography gives us hints about the meaning and etymology of words).

I used to be able to take BART to work. Half hour each way. But it was also a half hour walk each way on both sides. So total commute was 3 hours.

So there is a good reason why there is a push to force cities to allow multifamily developments within quarter to half a mile of mass transit. Personally I don't think this can be mitigated on the city level. Especially in a fractured metro like the Bay Area. You have six counties, three major cities and two dozen small cities and towns.
12 hours, that's early, according to a friend of mine doing his PhD in ML/NN (or as he put it: everyone uses L²-loss and SGD - it's just not original)... He also thinks that the quality of papers from a formal standpoint is very low (not speaking of content yet). Riddled with spelling errors and illogical sentences. But as published around NIPS gives all the credits and fixing those things does not (moreso, it probably taints results), this won't change anytime soon...
The alternative being for Intel to just shutter the division, leaving Qualcomm with a monopoly?
There are also ideological factors at play here. When GP is arguing for direct democracy they're not arguing for it in isolation, they're arguing for it as opposed to the political-economic system of today which they see as under the thumb of capital, which in part is due to the representative model. But simply removing the representative model won't rid us of capital's totality, nor its mechanisms (inequality through equality etc.)
>Orthography is just a system to write down language on a specific medium. Recording speech in mp3 instead of analog magnetic tape doesn't change the language.

For ancient civilizations (pre 3000 B.C) when it was all about the oral language, maybe.

We've moved way beyond that, and orthography is not a pure recording medium, but it's forms are historically tied to the language and its development (including borrowings from other languages). All kinds of continuity is lost if you "switch" orthography en masse (instead of organically).

And it's more like using guitars or synths, or B-3 vs Rhodes to play the same melody, than mp3 vs magnetic tape. The timbre when you change orthography is not the same -- something most poets, writers etc, would be quick to point out.
