I think a big part of that is there are too many people inherently interested in doing science. In fact there are already a lot more grads coming out with science degrees than there are jobs, and math is even worse. Although these positions have less pay, the competition is probably more fierce than for the positions you mentioned (although I think game-dev has a similar issue).

This is a problem but it's a good one to have, we have a lot of people out their willing to make science their life's work even without these external motivators.
The space of wavelength combinations is infinite-dimensional, so it's not going to be covered by vision using any finite number of types of cones.
Actually this isnt really true. If you go back over the last 200 hundred years, intellectual contributions are extremely concentrated. My point was further along these lines:

But what I am saying is this, the highest levels of genius, I would argue, are categorically different than just highly intelligent people. I think theres something different about the way their brains are structured. I've interacted with some of the top minds in a few fields, and I never come off with the feeling that they are merely farther along some kind of "intelligence spectrum". It always feels as if their thinking is different, i.e. its source and methods are a different type of brain. I think theres a few mutations floating around in a few different pools of the population
Studying existing drivers, following tutorials, carrying out research, and lots of trial and error.

The same way people learn to do many other similar things.

It's not, because higher resolution in the existing channels is completely different than additional channels.

You can't replicate RGB with just R an B, even if you crank up the resolution.
tl;dr Ben Cox bought a vga in => webcam out device that its parent company hadn't updated the linux drivers in a while. This details his journey of using tcpdump, et al, to analyze the sent packets. Eventually, he simulates the usb firmware and fpga download such that he can use the device. A quick, engaging read that was an appropriate level for this non C programmer.

Looking through his archive, I recognize his bgp battleship post from last year on HN.
> But there is little to gain living on the bottom of the ocean.

What? You're surrounded by water, you can produce oxygen through electrolysis and generate hydrogen fuel, there's food living all around you, there are plenty of seamounts to mine.

> It's much harder if not impossible to create something self-sufficient underwater than on Mars

All of you supplies need to live on Mars need to come from elsewhere. All of your necessities from life need to come from elsewhere. If you want to live on Mars for any appreciable amount of time, you need a robust supply chain that'll supply resources to you from Earth.

On the seafloor, you are surrounded by water, sources of oxygen, and food.

> you can't mine underwater effectively,

We've yet to mine anything that isn't on Earth. We may never be able to mine effectively anywhere other than Earth.

> there is sunlight

There is barely an atmosphere on Mars, and it lacks oxygen.
It still exists primarily for binary file sharing. Overall, I think Usenet works much better than non-private torrent trackers.
There's a podman-compose project that implements the docker-compose functionality leveraging podman: https://github.com/containers/podman-compose
This feels a bit too simplistic to actually be helpful to someone. If you want to learn Golang for example (from 0 previous experience), don't jump into reading Docker or Kubernetes, start with the guide on the website that explains how it works, look over the reference manual, write some smaller examples to solve some of your own minor pet peeves then once you have a little knowledge about the language, start looking for popular and big codebases, maybe implement some part of them yourself.

Now I don't know how to write userspace USB drivers, but there has to be something between 0 knowledge and just "trying and immitating"[SIC] kernel source code. At least I'd be happy for more pointers on similar resources as the submitted link, but more beginner oriented.
Wow, quite a variety of situations! I love especially the contract between the condo case (old school, more formal) and the holding LLC (git-based, super tech & lean). How are you keeping track of other necessary “formalities” such as filing officers with Secretary of State, renewing licenses, maintaining the stock ledger etc?

I was doing everything by hand (word docs + dropbox) for my company (Delaware C corp, <10 people) but I asked myself many time: am I missing some deadline? Am I not documenting something important? - if you see what I mean… So I was wondering if others use any tool to help with this, aside attorney help.
I know Clerky is great but we didn’t use it for incorporation and I didn’t have access to it for the company mgmt..

> What about Elon Musk? He's making money, and arguably do good by humanity overall, eh?

I wonder what will happen when Musk would have to choose between money and the benefit of humanity.
I've had little difficulty with any of this.

Clerky seems to be the standard for tech co incorporation, I know a few that've used this, it works fine.

I've worked at places using Carta for stock, it works. I think it's good to get out in front of this problem (tracking share issuance) with software.

For the filings, they aren't hard, just set a few reminders on your calendar and do it.

One thing I think merits mention, early-stage tech companies have rather unique problems other types of businesses don't have. I think that's why a lot of the general advice on this stuff might not apply. e.g. I bet less than 0.01% of all incorporated entities issue share options. So a lot of the general advice online might not apply.
Diagnosis was wrong. Could doctor bias have been a factor?
I always called this getting in the flow. A semi meditative state. I did long range cycling in my teens (100 miles or so) and this kicked off a pattern I still use today.
Wikipedia lists the following churches as participating:

* The Protestant Church (the "big one", there are myriads of small protestant free churches, especially in southern Germany – none of which participates)

* The Catholic Church

* The Old Catholics

* "Free Religion Congregations" (a special group)

* The Unitarians

* The Jewish congregations

It also lists twenty-two churches that don't let the state collect money on their behalf, including the Methodists, the Salvation Army, Mormons, some Pentecostal church, Alevits, Muslims and so on).

the inhibitors add up and they won't make it all the way

Yes, but they can make it some part of the way up, putting their kids in position to go a little higher, and so on. Success is largely social, a multi-generational task, which is why parents push their kids so hard: college, and then elite college, is the main step that breaks the cycle. Maybe gen 1 goes to Stanford and joins a FAANG. It's gen 2 who will have the CEO uncle and a shot at founding a FAANG.

I am picturing it being similar to a ferris-wheel. You could add more carts (more hooks), allowing for more capacity.

But I'm also imagining a more sophisticated ferris-wheel, where you stick two together (side-by-side), allowing for even more capacity.

Picturing it like spokes on a bicycle wheel might also help.

I wonder if there would be much need for more than one.
I'm also colorblind, and other than the occasional mixup, I don't feel like I'm missing out on much. There's still plenty of color, perhaps just with less vibrant difference in the red-green area.
Sure, it is an individual thing. The thing I like about my 20 minute drive is that I can't be distracted. I can't look at my phone or the tv. This is also best for me in the morning when I'm still waking up and my brain is in a lower gear.
Arguably those who demonstrate understanding of low level fundamentals have the drive to understand as many layers as possible.

Capturing AWS API calls through sslproxy not only implies you know what terraform is doing but you also have a higher probability of solving difficult problems.

All code boils down to an execution layer and having inspection ability at that layer will always be valuable.

> Нe database did not contain sufficient information to separate effects of “pure meat” from meat products that may contain other nutrients.

That line alone summarises why this is yet another flawed epidemiological study in nutrition. Most "meat eater" diets consist mainly of "plants". Grouping stuff together like this in nutrition is absolutely ridiculous and is why this area of science is so unbelievably broken, asides from the extreme reliance on epidemiology.

The average hamburger is mostly plants and contains tons of sugar from the sauces and such. So of course, if you measure a bunch of "meat eaters" which includes the average person who eats a bunch of hamburgers, the distinction between them consuming sugar and meat is nonexistent. Be it direct cane sugar or close to sugar in the form of the high gyclemic index bun in which it is placed.
PS: We, every tax payer, even pay for the "frankincense" in catholic church rituals and for many more persons in the church hierarchy, not only bishops. These do not only get "near 10,000" as I wrote, but 13,000 €/month = > 14,300$. Per Month! And: They don't pay into the state's pension system (~19% per month), only pay 50% for health insurance, and the free car they get is usually a S-class mercedes now (used to be an E-class some 10 years ago). So, all in all (including their appartements in best locations), these persons cost ALL tax payers some 20-30,000 €/month! Back in 2010 the tax payers paid some 442,000,000 €/year. That should now be close to 500,000,000…

That implies that not only they are not that happy but they are systemically lying for some reason. I find this scenario hard to believe.

I don't know much about statistics, but given a large enough sample size these folks probably an edge case. Source: gut feeling.

>Let me return to that sad image of human translators, soon outdone and outmoded, gradually turning into nothing but quality controllers and text tweakers. That’s a recipe for mediocrity at best.

For somebody learning a language, they would be even more easily mislead.
I think people are sometimes forgetting that Firefox is an ad-supported product. Firefox monetizes by sending people to Google.
In some sense, Chrome is less directly funded by ads than Firefox, because Google (like Microsoft and Apple) has a reason to fund the development of a web browser even if it wasn't directly leading to ad revenue. On the other hand, Google is only paying for Firefox to the extent that Firefox users bring ad revenue to Google.

Let’s insulate ourselves from the delusional masses by forming useful coalitions
(Obviously) Since you are reading this you probably know what I’m getting at. People who are grounded in reality ( according to my definition of course) are rare and may often be lost among the sea of the deluded masses. So this post of mine is an attempt to gather people who are like-minded.( people who I deem to be grounded in reality through my own colored lens of the world). The idea is to form mutually beneficial alliances in this insane world. Right now this process of forming alliances is somewhat unplanned and subject to chance events(you meet/know someone reasonable at school, work etc.). I'm hoping to cast the net wide by leveraging the internet. As to what exactly should the alliance be, or what it hopes to achieve is something to be discussed (though I have some concrete preliminary thoughts).

How to start: Email me your core beliefs ( though I personally prefer a voice chat with on Skype, google hangouts etc.), especially the beliefs where you think you differ fundamentally from the vast majority of people. I will quiz you on various subjects ( and so can you) to see if our beliefs align. Overall my beliefs can be loosely labeled as: generally anarchist (i.e a live and let live approach), generally anti-authoritarian ( meaning I believe govt/authorities do not protect your interests), largely capitalist( i.e vehemently opposed to coercive co-operation, put forth by typical socialism) etc. Perhaps at the bare minimum we have to share a meta belief that it is necessary to reach out and cooperate with other like minded individuals as it is virtually impossible to 'de-delude' the idiotic masses though arguments/dialogs etc. My email address can be found on my profile. In my profile you will also find a link to some webpages that outline my beliefs.

After this step, if we think our beliefs align, I will add you to an an online forum ( zero people as of now) , where you can interact with other people that I will be screening.

Caveats:

-It often takes a very long time ( months to years) to form mutually beneficial alliances. ( more so when individuals are geographically isolated from each other.) This is not a quick fix for your immediate problems, or for people without perseverance.

-The online forum is not to rant against the world, or a place to discuss your core beliefs. This is more of a place for doers not ivory tower thinkers.

Side note: It’s really hard to for me to believe that someone else is not doing this ( i.e what I’m attempting in this post) already somewhere. Let me know if you are aware of similar efforts, I would be eager to join.
That's a convenient excuse on iOS, but Firefox is doing poorly on macOS, too, where no such restriction exists. According to the first statistics I found, Firefox is only about half as popular on the Mac as it in on Windows -- and it's still under 10% there, too.

Privacy-compromising systems aren't winning today because people seek out systems that compromise their privacy. They're winning because these companies focused on making the user interface good. Firefox will win big again when they stop talking about privacy and start making a UI that isn't lousy.

True, Apple is talking about privacy a lot these days, but they've been focusing on UX first for decades. You can't start with "here is an abstract principle that's good for you, and you should use our systems because of it". The Free Software Foundation tried that for years. It doesn't work.

Privacy is important, but it's a feature, not a product. You still need to have a great product.
Super interesting. My notes as a colorblind man (might be misunderstanding some stuff though):

(Being a little sloppy with sex stuff here. Not all women have two x’s, women can be colorblind too, etc.)

• Two of our usually-three cones are specified on the X chromosome

• When one of a woman’s X’s specifies an anomalous cone she ends up with a 4th, anomalous type of cone.

• This happens ~14% of the time for women.

• That’s about the same percent as color blindness in men.

• That’s not a coincidence. Because color blindness comes from one of these women’s sons getting that anomalous 4th come instead of a typical 3rd cone. This anomalous cone tends to overlap more with one of the other cones in its range of perceived frequencies, which is what causes color blindness.

• But only a small percentage (not sure what percent yet?) of these women with 4 different cones actually seem to be able to perceive more colors

• that’s because the 4th, anomalous cone might basically fully overlap with one of the typical ones in its perceived frequency range, so it doesn’t really give the brain any additional info

• one question I have: so it seems like not all these anomalous cones are the same. Is there a fixed number of types? Or is it more of a spectrum? Further, are /all/ cones on a variable spectrum? Or is almost everyone’s blue cone exactly the same?

• this was interesting: colorblind men actually have a set of colors they can distinguish that people with normal color vision can’t (the article explains why)

• in this study they found colorblind men (but by looking at unusual things they /could/ see, not things they couldn’t? Not sure) and then tested their mothers to see if they could see extra colors.

• Most of them couldn’t. One of them could. The study was only like 9 people? Safe to say /all/ of these women had 4 types of cones, even though only one of them had a sufficiently non-overlapping fourth one to get some benefit?

• As a colorblind man, I’ve never noticed an ability to distinguish colors others can’t. Only the opposite.

• it’s intellectually neat to know that’s possible, even if it doesn’t tend to “come up” in everyday life.

• It souuuunnndssss like the amount of extra color vision that these tetrachromats get is only the same as the extra color vision /I/ get—that same “theoretically there, but doesn’t seem to come up in everyday life” thing. That’s a little disappointing—I though tetrachromacy was more kooky.
> I am red-green color blind and a lot of "red" looks "brown" to me.

Stylized facts:

- Brown is dark yellow.

- Yellow is a mixture of red and green.
There really isn't as much stuff as you'd think.

For the condo association, it's a California nonprofit so we just need to file a statement of information annually. We get a postcard reminding us to do this. We have to file taxes, but if you have an accountant, they should ask you to do this (since typically they get paid for completing your return). Our attorney (specialist condo law attorney) also has been really helpful.

For the holding company, we also need to file an SI, but it's an LLC so a lot more lightweight (e.g. no annual report). You just do it when you have to, I think once every two years (don't quote me on this). No annual report. There's also no share ledger. We just have an operating agreement spelling out peoples' ownership. So, statement of info (California) and two tax returns annually (federal and state). When we get to quarterly the accountants will help.

In general I think the common answer to this is to get help from an accountant and attorney. My accountant charges about 500-700 for a full set of returns, which isn't bad. If you can't afford that, just buy liability insurance and do business under your own name (schedule C) rather than having the bother of a full corporation. I would never go the delaware C route unless it was pretty clear I was going to fundraise...not worth the hassle.
>I wonder how such people experience pictures, movies etc.? All color reproducing technology is based on the the three-color system.

It’s a lesson in the inevitable consequences of loving something fiercely, be that your own intellect, your spouse, or a child. You may lose any of these things before you die, and the pain will probably be proportional to the love you felt. I don’t think that’s a lesson in why not to allow yourself to love that way at all.

There may be mental pathways that allow for love without attachment. I personally don’t see them yet; perhaps I need to learn more about Zen or Daoism or something. In my unenlightened state, the only way I see to avoid the pain of loss is avoiding love in the first place, which doesn’t look like a good idea.
That's weird, I don't think I've ever seen that happen. I'm constantly having multiple doors pop open at the locker.

Although maybe it's possible they do it some of the time and I'm actually much worse about fragmenting my orders than I think :)
If it’s like most OSINT exercises, participants find clues to find a person but the actual contacting is done by law enforcement for this very reason. A child or spouse might have fled because of abuse: contacting them to say they have been found and can go home — or worse, giving location info to the abusing party — could end in tragedy. By handing off to law enforcement and letting them take it from there it allows for such situations to be handled confidentially as well as allowing the authority of the state possibly begin the process of justice.
