I'm in my 30s. When I was 15, texting in the razr era was just as ubiquitous in my school as it is for anyone right now. Sexting, gossip, flirting, hanging out, all of it, all day, everyone. My sisters could even touch-type entire essays to their friends under the dinner table while they ate and were not allowed on their phone.

There wasn't any image content, but you certainly don't need images to have messages you want to keep private.

I wouldn't want anyone I know going through any of my private conversations line by line. I don't see how razr 2004 vs iphone 2019 is any different in that regard.
Envy might be a factor but I feel like wanting freedom and mistrusting authorities/corporations are stronger here.
Hello, Moto!

Ah, the nostalgia! Used to own a V3X, and although really liked the device, quality wise it didn't last for more than a year (buttons needed to be pressed harder, the soft touch would peel off, etc)
Have a look at the Google article. I presume they do some research when claiming that keyboards aren't what a significant portion of humankind needs.

But indeed not only programmers rely on keyboards.
I need a couple showers a day or my bedding would start to collect oils & such so much that it starts causing skin issues when I sleep in it. I mean it does anyway but slowly enough that I can go a reasonable amount of time between washing it. A lot of my saved water and energy from showers would just go to washing all my bedding every day or two.

[EDIT] of course I could clean off some other way, too, but dropping to only bathing in any serious fashion less than once a day is not something I'm much interested in trying, for this reason if no other.

As someone who has spent a lot of time in the Fixed Income world of finance I think it's great to see a paper where the researchers spend time and energy looking at the methodology a major player in the space such as morningstar is using. The easiest way to improve your returns in corporate credit is to buy lower rated (riskier) bonds as they are more equity (stock) like since you have a larger component of default risk baked into the security price. Over the long term the lower rated bonds will return more but will do so at higher risk. If you can convince morningstar which puts managers into discreet buckets to put your fund in a bucket that is safer than your actual bonds reflect, you now appear to have more return than your peers (although in reality its just because you have more risk).

The lack of accurate risk (reflected by the average bond ratings of your holdings) is what is really at the core of this argument. The researchers joined together some pretty commonly used datasets in the industry (probably what I would use if I were to do this) and impressively were able to properly take the holdings of managers and come up with a proper risk picture (if you believe that rating agency ratings of bonds reflects the true risk but that for another post). Morningstar basically said that they have a crappy dataset which just doesn't have rating data for many bonds and therefor, when they don't have a value, they just fill in with a default. This makes me think that Morningstar is doing a pretty lazy job in their evaluation of managers (what incentive do they really have, they are a monopoly in this area).

Happy to answer any questions people have.
> To purposely be provocative to spur discussion I will make a bold claim: Decentralization is an unstable equilibrium. It's the centralization that becomes the stable status quo.

Spurred. Firstly, this ignores the variance between absolute decentralization and absolute centralization. By reducing the discussion to black and white, we can't recognize a middleground that may not be as decentralized as all-in-home yet not so centralized as owned by a few. I'd argue that much of the internet remains in this middleground, popularity notwithstanding. Secondly, what is and isn't mainstream is the result of ease of use, implementation quality, and improvements over alternatives. Popularity and other knock-on effects may follow, but needn't be the initial goals. That these aren't achieved in decentralized setups is not evidence that they never will. When they are, and the economic forces then come along with adoption (that's the usual order after all), you'll see a shift in focus without necessarily a shift towards centralization. Until then we accept that centralized versions of more popular services are better implemented currently.

One thing everyone agrees on, the vast majority of users don't care (nor should they).
I find it interesting how desktop CPUs are essentially coming down to two enthusiast markets, developers/content creators/workstations and gaming.

While the gaming market is (usually) seeking the highest top single core clock speed with respect to CPUs, it also relies on other expensive hardware. Meanwhile the dev/content creator/workstation market is much better served by these multi-core behemoths.

Intel really has their work cutout for them with performance to cost for consumer desktops.
Even the mode of presentation ("awesome-$FOO") is a very uniform meme.
I did some math for myself and realized that I can skip the 4 extra cores, and go with the Ryzen 9 3900X (530€ vs 820€).

That's 44.16 € / Core (3900X) vs 51.25 € / Core (3950X) where I live. Yes, the base clock is 200 Mhz lower, but for my use case (homeserver with gaming vm and minecraft server etc), I need cores that I can assign. Im not ready to pay 290€ für an extra 4 cores yet.

Seems like a very weird thing for them to do.

The article mentions all the things that 1password succeeded in doing on its own: bootstraping themselves, shifted their product to focus on subscriptions, even made their product work well with more enterprise-y needs. All while working out pretty well financially.

And now they need capital funding. For what? The quotes in the article seems to say that a developing a go-to-market strategy and hiring a sales team to do telemarketing requires 200M.
It seems like transistor density (N per unit area) would be a more useful measurement.
It's not about the water usage on it's own, but more about the energy usage required to heat, treat, and transport the water.

According to the article "Hot water production accounts for the second most significant use of energy in many homes (after heating), and much of it is used for showering."

This isn't a very good comparison though for looking at technology. The problem of washing dishes, cleaning a kitchen, vacuuming, making a bed etc. Is O(n) in _economic_ complexity. Managing data and technology services is somewhere around O(log(n)). Managing 100 servers is much more difficult than managing 1, but managing 200 is not much more difficult than 100.

Good thoughts here and also good post, always enjoy reading through a nice notebook. Also have seen the race charts popping up recently and it's cool to get a bit of a deep dive on it.

If you are so good, please explain me the black spot.

I just follow quite different, more classical model that is not invented by me.

What most people think is is a very bad truth function.

I care about the number of assumptions required for a model and the number of papers falsifying it. I don't care if a paper praises how good prediction X fits, you have a infinite number of models that predicted exactly the same value. But through falsification you can sieve out the wrong ones and guess what, most of the models commonly proposed as "truth" are long falsified. The standard model is not even logically sound and combined with GR/SR highly paradoxical.
Please don't spread false information.

Water is more scarce than you think. We're depleting groundwater faster than it is being replenished in a _vast_ swath of the country. See: https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2019/08/0...

Even in regions where surface water is plentiful, making water fit for human use is a _significant_ user of energy. Even if it was cold water, it takes a lot of energy to pump water, filter water, and treat water after use.

>Veganism can work, if you are knowledgable about your body's requirements.

It can with minimal effort if you try to follow the daily dozen [1] which (for an adult) you can easily check off a significant portion of those in a single meal. In my breakfast smoothie alone I handle all of the fruit (and then some), 2-3x the berries, all of the cruciferous and greens the flax (and chia), the spice, most of the grain (I blend oats in because I'm not a fan of oatmeal), the spices (which I exceed just via turmeric and also add cloves and cinnamon most days).

Being ginger isn't such a pain in the neck for other people to make accomodations for if they want to include you. All of these competing quasi-religious food restrictions introduce unnecessary overhead. And people are often not reasonable about bowing to the demands of politeness or necessity, and insist on absolutism in their diets.

It will be an issue indeed. Get a filter system. There are small in-line ones for just before your showerhead, or larger whole-home systems.

Many options exist, start with a water analysis, and go from there. You may benefit from a 'softener' more than a filter system.

I find a cheap cleanable particulate filter placed before any media type filter to increase efficiency and lifespan.
And to be clear, that port is for charging-in only, not data.

Maybe I am a naysayer, but John Carmack is going against other companies and teams with not only billions in funding for hardware and data, but also with big staffs of experts.

Not only are people who have been in the research for a while more likely to have good ideas, but having the support of engineers to write tests and data wrangling, Neuroscientists to bounce ideas off of, and a whole bevy of support staff is just more likely to produce results.

I'm also not a big fan of the kind of hero worship of "well he wrote Doom, so this should be a cakewalk." I'm not saying he won't, but he probably won't. What am I missing here that everyone seems all hyped up about?
In my experience they learn to open gates. They certainly aren't trained to do this, but learn from watching people or each other.

They will also open a gate to let another horse out of their stall which I would count as some form of planning.

Beyond that I can't think of anything in all the years around them. They can manage to be surprised by the same things every single day.
Woow. Ok, so this is going to get buried, but...

...while looking at the article I just spied "09JAN19" on the back of the display in the 5th image in the 3rd gallery (the teardown one).

Motorola have been working away at this for over a year.

And (probably...?) successfully kept it a secret.

And watched while Samsung's fold thing blew up.

With their own display probably already set in stone.

And it looks like they have a winner on their hands.

Hahh.
I am with the OP, I think a lot of suggestions come from people with no quantitate intuition. Switching shower tech will not move the needle in any useful way. In fact, think it will be harmful in some ways as it further acclimates a sloppy non-quantitate approach to resource efficiency.
If they're anything like the misting irrigation systems, they never clog even if they are literally covered in dirt and mud for most of their life.
While its true there are alternatives now, mutual funds do sometimes have a place (there are some pretty low cost ones that cover certain areas of the market where there isnt a low cost ETF to do the same). I would say pick an area of the market you want to invest in then compare across ways to access that market, mutual funds should be in that comparison still as often times it still makes sense.
Having used rain showers at various fancy hotels, I am not a fan of them. The ones I've experienced don't pressurize the water, they just let it fall on you - the experience ends up being closer to standing in the rain than to a shower, and that takes all the enjoyment out of it for me.

Part of the reason it typically takes 5-6 years to complete a PhD (in computer science at least) is because it takes a long time to learn the methods, the skills, and the large body of past work, as well as just becoming a member of the research community (via attending workshops and conferences, publishing paper, and reviewing).

It's possible to complete a PhD in 2-3 years, but this also typically leaves no room for exploration or any kinds of errors. At CMU, the only examples I know of were people who were on leave from the military and had a hard stop after 3 years to return.

I'm claiming a search engine can exist without relying on advertising. There are other ways of discovering products and services than advertising.

Intel Could Take Years to Catch Up – Ryzen 9 3950X Review
Parents necessarily experiment on their children. No one knows "the proper way" to raise children and if you trust psychologists, nutritionists, or the social sciences to "scientifically" tell you how to raise your child, I think you're far too credulous.

If a child's health is determined to be in danger and the medical authorities determine that the cause is dietary in nature and the parents refuse to address it, then rectify the problem using force. But the way to handle these things is on a case-by-case basis. Codifying this stuff in law (or making it "formal" in any way) is a mistake because abuse is defined by norms, not what a plurality of psychologists or nutrionists happen to think right now.

We can't stop parents from fucking up their kids. And if we try too hard, the cure will be worse than the disease.
I immediately thought this is the worst possible news about 1Password. In order to let the investors cash in, they'll ruin a good product or pivot completely, like selling online ads.

> a fully-grown adult can be perfectly presentable on 2-3 showers a week

My hair is very much not presentable (in the flat, not sticking up all over the place, way in which I'm accustomed to presenting it) without a morning shower.

Some time at a sink may flatten it, and I accept that the resultant few-hours-later oiliness may not be present if that were normal instead of it being 'used' to being washed every day, but I really doubt that I would use much - if at all - less water flattening my hair at a sink than washing it, and then the rest of me as the water is subjected to gravity, in a shower.
Think of Morningstar like Uber, and the individual funds as individual drivers. Drivers have an incentive to lie about their hours or their insurance (to maximize profits) and Uber/Morningstar can try to force them to be honest, but in the end only so much.

Individual funds are returns maximizing, and if they can convince Morningstar (or their ultimate investors) that they are making more return not for taking more risk, but through skill, they will attract assets and make more money.

Thus it's explicitly in the fund managers interest to try to maximize return, while minimizing perceived risk. One way of doing that is through purchasing securities which are 'stamped' by a third party as less risky then they are (subprime being the classic example here).

Morningstar can try to structure them into reporting their portfolio to avoid this, but that reporting system can always be gamed.

Meaning, ultimately like with all investing, if you just trust the passive allocator/machine to make decisions for you based on overly simple or gamable rules...it will end in tears.

I would say if you assume that markets don't regulate themselves to the best, the argument that users should not care, is not valid.

Or put it the other way: if users don't care, they will be exposed to changes / forces they don't control nor want.

I think this is very similar to political activity: if you don't vote, your life will be more influenced by the opinions of others.

If you vote (care), then you can make a change
I recall bucky fuller always had mist showers in his future home demos. He always said, and it stuck with me, that his ideas were not for his lifetime, but for when humanity needed them.

There are several competing password managers today of course! My take is that like Dropbox (disclaimer: paying Dropbox customer until iCloud Files is just a bit better), this is a feature, not a product (unless you need team or cross platform functionality, but for teams you should probably be enterprise grade with SSO instead of sharing creds).

I'd switch from BitWarden to a native Apple solution the moment the Keychain UX reached parity with BitWarden, n=1.

Yes, so many people are obsessed with the top places, only applying to the most brand new institutions, and then wonder why they're not treated with gloves. If you have incredibly high expectations of the institution, the institution puts tremendous pressure on its faculty, and so the faculty will need to produce in a big way. Hence, you will either need to produce in a big way or they won't have time for you.

So many people think they're too good to apply for a school like Ohio State or Boston University, but then themselves are not constantly performing at the highest world caliber.
