Aren't you the one usually telling everyone that DNSSEC is useless even though it solves the same problem, e.g. because the server can be verified with TLS instead? If the DNS attack is nothing more than a denial of service then it seems completely reasonable to wait until the attack is actually observed before applying a mitigation (third party DNS) that can have problematic side effects. Especially when the mitigation can be made as simple as a single checkbox in the browser.

And what makes Cloudflare any more trustworthy than the average ISP? Isn't that just switching the user's resolver from the network they explicitly chose to connect to, to a centralized third party that they didn't?

When I applied to a major university at age 17, I put down two potential majors. One was Geology.

I didn't attend that university. I went for two years to a local college and didn't bother to declare a major the first year. The second year, I declared as a History major because I was taking a lot of history classes and my counselor was in the history department. It let me keep the same counselor.

I dropped out in part because I knew two people with substantial amounts of college who were delivering newspapers. One was living with his mother. One was financially dependent upon his wife.

I figured I could deliver newspapers for a living without a pile of student loans and my quality of life would be higher without the student loans. I decided I would return to college if I ever had any idea what I wanted to do with a degree.

I eventually decided I wanted to be an urban planner, which was a good reason to go back to school. Most urban planning programs are Masters degrees. You typically have a Bachelor's in something else.

I decided to pursue a Bachelor's in Environmental Resource Management as background. I felt I needed to understand the underlying natural environment in order to do good things with the built environment.

Most Environmental Studies programs began in Geology departments. It's possible that I might have ended up sort of where I am currently even without the long, winding detour in between.

Now try to type both and see how much time it takes. Or even better, choose a math problem that makes you experiment and try to express it in both. If you try it long enough, you'll see why it's not stupid.

APL is often described as a calculator, and at least to me it's exactly that. If you are programming math and even more so arrays, you can't beat array languages.

I say that as a scheme fanboy, and I'm currently implementing J in Racket. Incidentally, Aaron Hsu is not only an APL expert but also a seasoned schemer, and it's not for nothing he came up with the "disposable code" idea.

So very much not stupid. But as with LISP, you have put up a good try to see the value.

For some content (like news!), I much prefer reading. For some books, especially informational (business, self-help, etc.), I prefer audio (Audible). For tech tutorials, I've come to appreciate quite a few video courses.

A video tutorial can be great, but it's more about the preparation and pace of the delivery. There are some really great and knowledgeable teachers of tech that I cannot stand to watch/hear. And then there are a number of excellent courses on Udemy (for example) that are 99% video content.

So for me, video _can_ be great.

For as much as I've heard about TDD over the years: in my education, articles, and mentions of it in industry -- I have yet to see anybody I know use it.

You can't design your entire interface up front. Too much handwaving. You'll start coding, and realize you aren't testing the right things, until after you write the code, which defeats the purpose of writing the tests first.

The article says many people don't use TDD correctly, or they try to use it in the wrong situations. If it was more broadly applicable, I think it's safe to say I would've encountered a situation where it was useful. If it's the case where there's a limited set of situations where it is applicable, the topic doesn't deserve as much mindshare as it receives.

I’ve had a feeling for a while that getting to the 80th percentile in everything I do should be my goal.

Imagine a person that is the 80th percentile in distance running, powerlifting, swimming, basketball and Nordic skiing.

That person would be the best all-around athlete you’d likely meet.

The opportunity cost of getting beyond the 80th percentile is so high you should spend that time getting some other skill up to the 80th.

That may feel like being a master of none but the trade off is that you’re pretty decent at everything.

I know enough about surfing, politics, world travel, programming and music(among other things) that I can hold a conversation with anyone even though I’m not the best at any of them.

This has felt like a huge advantage over people who focus on one thing at the expense of being more well rounded.
I've actually came across this key in an apartment building in Berlin once, so they really are still in use. The person living there did complain about it though, as (at least in the evening) you had to collect guests from the main gate and escort them back there when they leave, since using the key was the only way to open it. Understandably this is quite annoying when you're living at the fourth floor.

I don't understand your last paragraph, but clearly society generally doesn't agree with you that "their land, their choice". Maybe in your country it's different, but in most cities in the US there are a huge number of restrictions on what you can do with your land. I think too many, in some ways.

If you want to have complete freedom over your land, you generally can't live inside a city, because people inside a city are much more interdependent, and what you do can very easily impact others. In the countryside, you have much more freedom to do what you want with it.

FH is "just" 3 F9 strapped together. Doing that took them more than 5 years than planned.

Keeping that in mind, having 5 year delay on brand new design, using totally different materials, new engine, etc isn't far fetched.
I just skimmed this, but it seems to be yet another marketing piece covered in technical jargon to tell a “world changing” story. It does not, however, say anything about 5G coverage differences from 4G, how the physical infrastructure is deployed or it’s practicality to coverage and usability by the end devices that are the underlining support to this revolution.
I think it could be a US / Europe thing. In the UK (where I'm originally from) I think almost all door locks I've seen require a key to unlock from the inside, but in the US (where I've lived for 7 years) I don't think I've ever seen one - they deadbolt usually has something that you can unlock by hand without a key from the side (and not even an option to lock it from the side with a key).
According to wiki [1]:

> At a constant acceleration of 1 g, a rocket could travel the diameter of our galaxy in about 12 years ship time, and about 113,000 years planetary time. If the last half of the trip involves deceleration at 1 g, the trip would take about 24 years. If the trip is merely to the nearest star, with deceleration the last half of the way, it would take 3.6 years.

24 years is one generation of humans. And 113,000 years is still less than 600 million years. Speed of light is not a problem. Making that ship self-sustainable and even being able to accelerate to 0.999 c might be.

> Starship is just a bigger version of the Falcon 9 second stage

Starship is designed to land from interplanetary speeds (not just LEO orbital speeds), can re-fuel in orbit, and has the world'd most advanced rocket engines. The jump from F9 -> Starship is substantially larger than the jump from F9 -> FH.

Most advanced math concepts are complex and can take months to understand for someone with an unrelated math background (e.g., say, Lebesgue measure theory or Galois theory).

Certainly some advanced math concepts require a lot of foundations and therefore take time to build up to them, but usually the individual steps along the way should be quite accessible if well presented.

To follow up on one of your own examples, suppose we have someone who understands the basic ideas of abstract algebra, say someone who had done a first course in topics like groups and rings as part of their undergraduate studies. (I note in passing that even a keen school student considering studying maths at university might be able pick up these concepts with good presentation in a few days.) Then suppose that person are curious about why there is a quadratic formula but people claim that not only do we not know of any corresponding quintic formula, in fact we can prove that no such formula is possible.

Explaining the concepts and key results from Galois theory needed to get to that proof shouldn't take months. There are lots of technical terms like solvability by radicals and field extensions and quotient rings and so on, but if these concepts are properly explained, none of them would in itself be more than a typical undergrad student could understand after a few minutes. Building up the argument would of course take longer than understanding any given step, but it's not prohibitively difficult or complicated.

Unfortunately, in many university lectures and textbooks, those concepts are introduced using only a mixing pot of other technical terms and notation, without any sort of motivation or examples to put them in context. There's no intuition behind them. There's no frame of reference. So then of course the final proof of the unsolvability by radicals of a general quintic just feels like word and symbol soup that you have to learn by rote, because how could anyone possibly have derived it in any sort of deliberate or systematic way? And worse, not only does this result become "magic", the student lacks the ability to use the mathematical tools that support the result for any other purpose either.

I like this idea and am working actively to manage my engagement with the internet. This seems like a partial solution - it addresses the correspondence aspect of email, but not the business.

> Also, why is NEURIPS or ICML papers is not a hiring guarantee? I thought they're highly sought after.

They're sought after, but the conferences have also grown huge. NeurIPS 2018 accepted around 1,000 papers! Based on a query of the DBLP [1] dataset, there were 4,409 distinct authors who had a paper at either NeurIPS 2018 or ICML 2018 (or both). If you add in a few of the other big AI and ML conferences (AAAI, IJCAI, ICLR), the number grows to 10,995 distinct authors, again solely for the year 2018. The field is hot, but is it hot enough for ten thousand people to be automatically hired because of one paper?

There's also decreasing confidence in the big conferences' review processes I think. NeurIPS 2014 actually did a study to estimate how random acceptance was by assigning some papers to two different sets of reviewers and checking how similar the decisions were [2], and found there was a much higher degree of luck in acceptance/rejection decisions than they had expected. I personally have more confidence in the review processes of smaller and more focused conferences (and journals!), though they don't have the same level of name recognition.

I can tell you why you are getting a discount on pricing. The drug companies want to charge high as possible. So the insurers charge a copay to make the patient price sensitive. Now the drug company gives copay assistance to the patient to shield them for the copay. That way they can charge the highest amount to the insurer without the patient feeling he pinch. Now patients without insurance get screwed in this mess so some drug companies provide free medicine for some of these cases.

The real answer is the forbid these rebates and force drug companies to sell at a reasonable price. That is why Medicare prevents this kind of scheme. Also California recently restricts rebates on generic medicines. I have an essential drug due to my dialysis that became generic. I used to get a $85/month copay subsidy from the drug manufacturer. When it became generic, the copay became $10. You should have seen how hard they drug company employees were trying to push me to complain to state legislators about this.

There is a quote somewhere (by Elon?) saying that FH is not "just" 3 F9s strapped together. A significant source of the slowdown for FH was the desire to not launch it without full reusability of all 3 stages and not to launch it without significant improvements (block 5 etc).

Starship has none of those potential delays and has already solved most of the hard problems (as evidenced by the Hopper hopping already). Starship has all of the learnings and experience that FH and F9 didn't have.

There will be delays, sure. But we won't be waiting 5+ years again for a single launch. Those days are over, and SpaceX is proving it.

Some context, I haven't read this yet: https://www.quora.com/What-makes-SpaceXs-Falcon-Heavy-more-t...

Edit:

> Keeping that in mind, having 5 year delay on brand new design, using totally different materials, new engine, etc isn't far fetched.

The first full size Starship prototype is already built though (within ~2 years of initial announcement? Not behind schedule basically at all, so far?). IIRC for FH it was a ~5 year delay before SpaceX even starting construction on the first parts. The difference with Starship is staggering. The pace is dramatically faster, the risks are reduced up-front, and the tests are planned on a much shorter timeframe.

We would frequently go 6 months to a year and hear no news at all about FH. There is news, updates and progress available to the public on an hourly or daily basis about the Starship progress. Night and day.
