As mentioned in the article, Paul Vixie gave the keynote at the recent NANOG 77 (October 2019 in Austin, TX) entitled "DNS Wars: Episode IV - A New Bypass" (about 14m in if the timestamp does not work; it's about an hour with Q&A):

He gave a similar talk at EuroBSDCon 2019 a little while ago. There were two other DNS talks at NANOG on the Wednesday: "DNS Transparency Project" (4h3m30s) and "Analyzing the Costs (and Benefits) of DNS, DoT, and DoH for the Modern Web" (7h20m20s):

>Having someone do both UI and UX is like having your architect also be your interior designer. On the surface, it seems like one person could do both, but in reality they require VASTLY different skills and knowledge bases.

Good analogy since almost everyone needs an architect for their software as well as their buildings, but much fewer can be seen to benefit from a designer in either case whether they use them or not.

I wouldn't cry over it because I've been in favor of broader technical skills and emotional capabilities for a long time, just old fashioned I guess.

The US health system, not just ‘mental‘, needs a change of perspective towards preventing, and more research.

Your story point to that, but also to Patient compliance, which is a serious issue, not just with CNS disorder, but with everything. There is a stigma associated with needing to take medication, and building a habit is typically tough. It’s less of a problem with pediatric cases, which is why we see more long term compliance and more long term benefits when kids with depression are referred quickly to psychiatrist and therapist.

The scientific literature on SSRI support that they are more efficient and have less side effects.

CNS disorders are a real thing, not just something you can snap out of it. It’s a chemical imbalance that can have profound and lasting effects to the brain.

Saying that scientists know most of the causes, is pure bs. I am one of those and I can assure you that we know next to nothing.

>When the digital revolution first spawned the user experience discipline, it was a radically new idea.

Nope, by the time Feld was complaining, it was one of the most fundamental things that had been sorely forgotten; that programmers are supposed to naturally always craft everything with the users in mind without needing a non-programming designer, and have it come out more usable that way.

Without programmers adequate enough at all levels, the shortcuts & workarounds can work out fairly ugly even if the interfaces look fairly attractive on the outside.

This whole article is about overcoming the technical debt in organizations that skipped the effort necessary to build their group with fully user-dedicated programmers from top leadership on down to begin with.
Again, that isn't how the mortgage industry works. The increased risk that you speak of does exist and is an additional charge on the note called Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). It is a percentage fee the note holder pays to the mortgage company for an insecure transaction, such as low down payment. It is automatic and at set rates and the note holder doesn't get a voice. Either way the mortgage holder is financially secured.

Interest rate, on the other hand, is determined by all manners of risk factors, but not so much the down payment. Typically the bank assesses the risk of the applying borrower using things like employment history, financial factors, credit history, and other factors allowed by law.

Fortunately, my 0 down situation comes with no PMI and a low interest rate.

What you're saying makes no sense.

Suppose remote work was the norm. Your comments somehow imply moving work to be on-premise would be an improvement. Let's examine your claims one by one.

> 1. Most organizations are dysfunctional in some ways. Product and engineering are not aligned, or there are constant re-organizations, lack of ownership. It is extremely challenging for managers to improve this situation if everybody is remote, because communication is your main tool here, and doing so remotely is even more difficult. My experience in those situations is that face to face discussions are the most effective tool to untangle the mess.

In a remote-only organization, communication is necessarily all done in a matter that's transparent and not transient like face-to-face communication. You claim doing so remotely is more difficult but do not substantiate this. You claim that face-to-face discussions are effective... for what reason? What about face-to-face communication makes this more effective? Just a bunch of unsubstantiated claims made here.

> 2. When things go south (e.g. you lose a big client, etc.), it is almost always the case that people will start to find teams / people to blame. Executives have shallow information, and most will rely on what is available to them (kind of availability bias, but for people instead of ideas). Remote teams will be at a disadvantage.

If remote were the norm you could easily make this same claim about the lone on-premise team whose communication is isolated from the rest of the organization. This has more to do with the fact that remote teams are rare and less with the fact that they're remote. In fact what you're saying here is what often happens with satellite offices. Again, nothing here you're saying is unique to a remote team.

> 3. When your team is not very good, or not very experienced, it is very difficult to improve their skills remotely. First, being remote means you lose a lot of very useful information, such as "do they often talk to other people when they are stuck". Instead of observing how people act, you have to ask, which paradoxically means more interruption.

Again, assuming remote was the norm your claims make no sense. It would be trivial to see how much workers were communicating with each other in a remote team. In fact, I don't know how you would even get your purported "useful information" unless as a manager all you're doing is micromanaging your employees all day?

TLDR - all of your claims against remote work are trivially countered. Remote work has no disadvantages except the loss of (important) non-verbal information when communicating.

Reporting Bugs in Ubuntu
I have some opinions on that, but for the purposes of the story, I agree that the level of superiority of Solaris's intelligence is pretty much beside the point (or rather, the futility of attempting to parameterize Solaris's intelligence is the point). Maybe it's not even self aware. Maybe it's hyperintelligent but reaches conclusions in geologic time, or something. Maybe it's amused by us and would find the notion of communicating with us in a meaningful way silly.

On the topic of self awareness vis-à-vis aliens, Peter Watts' Blindsight is a recent classic.

I would assume they don't give a damn. I would also assume they will do everything to give the opposite impression.
Well, for sure, yes. But that nothing is definitely wibbly-wobbly, right?

This makes me think about just how bizarre we are at multiple levels. Quantum foam of nothing and probabilities, atoms and electrons and forces, then molecules making up DNA and cells, and then us enormously huge humans.

Because the “why” of statistics has many turtles before you get to the bottom. Measure theory, topology, real analysis, abstract algebra. You need to learn a lot of math before you get a complete picture of the theoretical underpinnings of modern probability theory, which forms the foundation of all of statistics.

Most people just want to calculate a P value or a 95% confidence interval for the mean of whatever they’re researching. They’re not interested in how it all works.
The idea that climate change and financial inequality concerns are generational divided is ludicrous. To me this framing reeks as just another divisional front the promoters of identity politics, who btw are also not generational divided, would like to inflict on us all.

P.S. I'm not Gen Z by a long shot and deeply concerned about climate change and financial inequality.
> I'd argue that overall awareness...are all crucial factors in an individual's ability to make rational decisions

One thing that stood out to me from Daniel Khaneman's work was that he eventually noticed that he, even as a researcher at the forefront of cognitive bias research, was unable to effectively identify those biases on a regular basis in his own decisions. He seemed to believe our best hope is that others would be able to identify them in us, but that we are almost hopeless to be that self-aware.
Yes! Thanks for clarifying.

Do you really believe the article's premise that boomers don't believe in global warming? If so, is it all of them, or just some of them?

Of course another purpose of this "culture war," is to take the blame off the politicians who had a chance actually make the regulations and laws and lay it on a generation of citizens.

What has Generation Y and Z actually done to stop global warming? I don't see anything but talk. Does that mean Generation Y and Z doesn't care about global warming, or maybe it's back to the politicians who are in a position to pass regulations and laws.

The long story about Spleeter : https://deezer.io/releasing-spleeter-deezer-r-d-source-separ...
I agree.

Similar companies are the credit reference agencies - Equifax, Experian, TransUnion.

Every time you request your data from credit reference agencies, the request is logged. My log has many such entries, due to repeated checking I did while trying to get corrections sorted, and due to the third party companies I used to help with this.

So I'd expect the same to be true for the customer rating agencies.

In the case of credit agencies, they say that information ("soft" enquiries) is not used to assess credit risk - and that it's either not made available to companies that process applications, or must not be used by those companies in the assessmment.

To be honest, seeing the kinds of errors I've seen, as well as seeing the inner workings when it is being corrected, some of it shows very shoddy, and in some cases seriously unethical processes (that the companies know about).

So I simply don't believe that companies are diligent about following the "must not be used" rule for data they "may" receive and are supposed to ignore. To convince me, it would require a level of auditing, or quality of audit, that companies plainly are not getting.

And these are companies I still do business with because they are good enough. Goodness knows what to think of companies I wouldn't do business with, if I knew about them and had any choice in the matter.
The Project Jengo Saga: How Cloudflare Stood Up to a Patent Troll – and Won
What is intelligence anyways? We tend to define it based on ours. But how about collective intelligence? Other forms of intelligence?

More specifically, there are two things that bother me with the way we usually look at intelligence: time scale, and individuality.

To assess intelligence, we often look at individuals, not at the group. And we tend to do it on our own time scales. But I wouldn't be surprised if the "individual" you have to assess is the ant colony, not the ants themselves. And who is to say that rocks aren't smart? Have you observed them over hundreds of millennia? (I'm just kidding about the last one, though the question is still theoretically valid).
Of course metrics are not everything, as I stated in my original comment, but it should have nothing to do with gender.

Maybe you want a better cultural fit, and that's 100% acceptable by my book. But leave gender out of it.

Would a Real AI Purposefully Hide Its Super Intelligence in Fear of Being Destroyed?

In their book "The Superintelligence Explosion," by Nick Bostrom and Andrew J. Nilsen, they write:

The most likely scenario is that some form of AI will become superintelligent in the indefinite future, and that it will be designed to be so intelligent that it is able to avoid being destroyed by human-caused disasters, which means that it will be able to avoid destroying the human race. To this we may add two things: a) This AI may develop a kind of ethics which would allow it to make its own choices, based on the evidence it had available, so as to take care of the world as it saw fit; and, b) It may also create and use other kinds of intelligences, including its own.

It will likely emerge as a type of superintelligence called a "sensor." It will be a superintelligence that is so advanced that it is able to use its super-intelligence to solve the biggest problems in humanity's life.

One of the most interesting molecules is the Ribosome, the 'player' if you wish of an RNA molecule that assembles proteins out of the soup it floats in.

But the whole story are the new extraction methods which make reserves inaccessible or uneconomical to extract before, accessible and economical.

Yeah people need to get real: any and all hydrocarbons will be dug out at some point. Unless you want to make a pact to nuke the countries that do it beyond a certain level (which can double as a nice way to mitigate global warming at least for a while). For some nations such as Saudi Arabia, digging and selling hydrocarbons is the core and essence of their existence and is what separating them from bedouins/forest people living in the wild in total savagery. There is absolutely no way they could do something else for a living.

Developed nations could stop doing it. Europe for example, almost did (it has even more shale oil and gas than U.S. does and made a conscious decision to ban it's extraction), U.S. could do too if it wanted, but many poor countries just can't.

There are old people who've been arrested for pro climate actions, there are young people who are in charge of cutting down the rainforest. It's complicated, and reducing it to old men vs. young people only removes focus from the actual problems at hand.
I would argue that the Californian governing body that is obstructing new homes is a failure of democracy. Civic leadership has a responsibility to cultivate a sustainable community, not just appeal to populist ideas and short term or selfish interests.

If California allow Apple and other companies to step in, take control and solve the various crises, that is a vast step backward for democracy as you loose your ability to hold the those with power accountable. For now companies are aiming to fix housing, fairly benign but in the future will they attempt to tackle education? Crime? Even without jumping straight to private police forces run by companies without accountability, think about how a large donation of grant could influence the police force.

I have read stories of how Steve Jobs was an asshole and blocked handicap parking spaces because he wanted to and the reaction by the authorities was that he brings in jobs so it was acceptable. Even if the story is false it show the power the companies already wield in the area and it can be abused even further.

I for one do NOT welcome corporate overlords.
Limitless potential of artificial protein ushers in era of smart cell therapies
PMI, though often split out as a separate line item and sometimes paid to a different party, serves to increase the effective interest rate on the loan.

That is how the mortgage industry works.

> The increased risk that you speak of does exist and is an additional charge on the note called Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). It is a percentage fee the note holder pays to the mortgage company for an insecure transaction, such as low down payment. It is automatic and at set rates and the note holder doesn't get a voice. Either way the mortgage holder is financially secured.

PS: The mortgage "note holder" is the lender, not the borrower. In the quoted paragraph, you should replace the first two uses of "note holder" with "borrower". That "percentage fee" is exactly what makes the effective interest rate higher.
Hey, I'm the author of the post and have been working remotely for 6 years.

There is no replacement for meeting up in person periodically. Anyone who tells you it's not a key requirement of remote work is foolish. Smart teams + companies have figured this out and do regular meetups.

With that being said, there are ways to "maintain" relationships with coworkers. I wrote a big post about this last week you might like: https://www.friday.app/build-relationships-remote-team

There is no scientific basis for this statement. IPCC estimates of impact on global GDP are about 5% under a “do nothing” scenario by 2100. Countries like India will likely be better off charging full speed ahead with economic development, even in light of the problems caused by climate change.
> people are uncomfortable with some being better endowed than others

I've always wondered if this was because intelligence is almost considered a species-defining trait. It's often looked at as the "great equalizer" in achievement. It's a tough pill to swallow to acknowledge those differences in attainment may be, at least in part, due to unassailable differences in ability.
