Academics write the paper for free, academics review the paper for free. I've published quite a bit and never had worthwhile input from a non-academic editor. A journal's only real cost would be in hosting costs, which I'm sure would be minimal for static content.

While the big-ticket journals have a value from being so picky, often this is at the expense of some things. For instance, it is hard to get replication studies published, as journals like Nature want every article to be "front-page news" if they can. I'd like to see some weighted reputation system used instead, where academics can give their "vote" to papers they like, giving it a total weight, however such systems have been proposed in the past and haven't got much traction.

I don't think there is an answer in the above, but I'm not sure that the substantial costs are justified.
That's not a chatbot: it's an agent :-)

I've got a similar use case, but I was thinking about Slack and not telegram: whenever I want to write something in my blog, send a message to the agent to enable the wp-admin parts of my blog.

After writing I could just tell the agent to block wp-admin entirely.

Not extra high/pentagon-grade secure; but enough to block login attempts (and maybe some exploits).
Zuck is "not just making a prediction", he's not making any relevant statement about the future at all.

All he does is telling what he plans to invest in. But given his privileged position, that's almost as irrelevant as what he is going to have for dinner tonight, if his plans for the next decade do not address the urgent and burning issues that keep the rest of humanity awake at night in earnest.

I'm sure AR "is the future" in a decade. But then you'd have to ask to whose benefit and to what ends.

If a billionaire makes swiping statements about the social good, then I expect a proper argumentation that shows an understanding about the vast complexity involved, and their according responsibilities. Not vapid filler that reduce the issues to a mere generational conflict such as:

> Today, many important institutions in our society still aren't doing enough to address the issues younger generations face -- from climate change to runaway costs of education, housing and healthcare. But as millennials and more members of younger generations can vote, I expect this to start changing rapidly. By the end of this decade, I expect more institutions will be run by millennials and more policies will be set to address these problems with longer term outlooks.
It will take years for society as a whole to accept lab grown foods, and during the years it will take time to verify what are the side effects of this new food source.
Update: have now watched 3 of the 4 videos. Can see why you loved it so much! I've watched a lot of Feynman talks and lectures, and read most of his books. ..but this has particularly good explanations of the material, distinctly clearer than a couple of talks of his I'd seen before. Plus a few priceless references to NZ and the NZ national character! (filmed Auckland 1979)
In pilot lingo there are four levels of trust in a pilot (ascending order):

1. I won't fly with you
2. I will fly with you
3. I will fly with you and take my shoes off during take off
4. I will let my family fly with you.

This phrase used verbatim means quite a lot.

Re 1. I would really not recommend using OneNote. I recently closed an Office 365 Business account and tried to move my notes on similar topics, e.g. pros/cons and how-tos of using different tools, from a group OneNote page to my own and it was very difficult to do so.

The documentation isn't very good (it's unclear which version) and I ended up having to install the local version on my Mac and manually copy/past the pages I wanted because the copy notebook dialog didn't work with notebooks that have many pages. The worst part is not being able to access the raw data and simply copy that from one place to another.

I've switched to markdown files on Sublime with the Markdown Editing package for now, because they are easier to read and edit, portable and I can convert my notes to wiki pages, blog posts or documentation very easily. I'm still not 100% happy because of the different flavours and how pandoc converts files differently sometimes (especially lists).

Google+ failed because Google didn't know what they wanted it to be. I don't think that's down to engineering. That's a product and marketing problem.

AR is a little different because it's not a product; Facebook's AR apps might fail, but Zuck's vision could still succeed if Facebook create (or acquire) tools for creating an AR ecosystem.
No, they probably are good. But you won't know if you just stick to the has-been abusers.
Heh, this reminds me: at a former employer, the eng team communicated exclusively by IRC (when Slack was already a thing) specifically because the CTO had previously experienced his communications being picked apart and taken out of context when his old company had ended up in the scope of a congressional investigation. So that's one way around it...
Never been in a project that took all those rules into consideration. Usually, when pointing out the issue, it was me who was supposed to defend my point as opposed to the person who wrote the code (or my comments got ignored altogether).
Last time I tried Java was two years ago. A few months back I installed it on KVM to check out the state of WebPositive, but didn’t actually get to try coding anything since the browser couldn’t load my webmail.
Nicely written Linus, very soft and considerate of other's feelings. Not so funny anymore but overall it will make more people happy :)
I think it also shows the importance of soft skills. There's been a couple times where I've had disagreements with my team leadership, or senior management. I could make statements about why I thought I had made reasonable decisions. But honestly I would admit that those situations wouldn't have been as serious if I had communicated differently. So at the very least I've learned where overcommunication might be important.
The hardest thing is probably making sure you're appropriately using an appropriate api for generating unpredictable tokens. Generating random tokens is a trade off between speed and unpredictability and some easy-to-find random number apis make the wrong trade off.
Bankruptcy is also great time to fix corporate culture. People are malleable when no one is sure if the next paycheck will come at all.
You are vastly underestimating the difficulty of atmospherically decoupling your house, and of supplying oxygen/pulling out ammonia/CO2.

I'm confused... Have you watched the video?
One thing that is often overlooked is method that Scihub uses to obtain articles, and the impact that method has on the very researchers who use it.

Phishing scams are used to obtain the credentials of university accounts which are then used via a proxy on Scihub to obtain the requested article (it's quite clever..they seem to often silently proxy institution's Ezproxy with the phished credentials) . The same credentials given to Scihub are often not just used by Scihub, and are then used for further phishing or hacking by other third parties, causing harm to the phishing victim.

Having said that, library software providers and journal platforms should be looking at Scihub and learning from it. Users want an easy to use platform with minimal fuss or hoops to jump through.

Of course, this is just a tiny piece of the much larger problem of the rotten unsustainable commercial journal publishing ecosystem..
You can't organize a protest if no one knows about it. In order to get the word out, you have to use platforms that everyone already has access to.

> Keep in mind that RAID5 isn’t feasible with multi-TB disks (the probability of failed blocks when rebuilding the array is far too high).

What makes you say that? I've seen plenty of people make this claim based on URE rates, but I've also not seen any evidence that it is a real problem for a 3-4 drive setup. Modern drives are specced at 1 URE per 10^15 bits read (or better), so less than 1 URE in 125 TB read. Even if a rebuild did fail, you could just start over from a backup. Sure, if the array is mission critical and you have the money, use something with more redundancy, but I don't think RAID5 is infeasible in general.
Googles Java implementation wasn't GPL licensed, so neither its implementation nor its interface could have been covered by the OpenJDK being GPLv2. I think RMS wouldn't sit by idly either if someone took GCC and forked it under the Apache license.
It's more nuanced than that.

Did WhatsApp and Facebook help elect right-wing autocrats? Yes.

Are WhatsApp and Facebook also helping protestors against right-wing autocrats organize and protest? Also yes.
I have it and it seems to require way too much space. Would nice to have a tutorial or something, and also because it is like real boxing, it is much more difficult to grind. There really isn’t a rhythm you can easily get into, you have to keep thinking and reacting. Rhythm games have a huge advantage in the grinding department.

I feel like everyone posting the link to that article needs to also post this quote from it in their comment.

> The WHO statistics are based on the official reports from each respective country, therefore are no more accurate than the record-keeping in the specific country, and revisions (updates) are usually performed as well.

> In much of the world, suicide is stigmatized and condemned for religious or cultural reasons. In some countries, suicidal behaviour is a criminal offence punishable by law. Suicide is therefore often a secretive act surrounded by taboo, and may be unrecognized, misclassified or deliberately hidden in official records of death.[3]

It is very hard to compare rates of suicide across countries.
Why would you store all of this valuable information in a proprietary tool? What happens when notion shuts down, jacks up prices, makes feature changes you don't like, etc etc? Make some attempt to migrate all this data? It's gonna be hard to do this in an automated way, if they even have an (export) api for this.

CI is a timesink, and it is our fault
Hi, the author here. I've been thinking for some time whether the complexity in CI is essential to the domain, or we just add a bunch of accidental complexity as we have no better place to put it.

The article is just my state of mind and I tend to think it's the latter as you can guess.. What do you think?
Windows does that. Balance Set Manager boosts the priorities of threads that receive I/O. That’s why mouse movement is so smooth since Windows NT. (Not so much on Win9x).

MacOS probably does a similar thing too.
> E.g. installing gnome, kde or openoffice requires to download hundreds of megabytes of binaries and everyone is okay with that

Come on. Gnome and KDE are not equivalent of a node project, they're an equivalent of a browser (or at least browser chrome). And OpenOffice does quite a lot more than pretty much any Node project out there.

Suicide is a mostly preventable death. If suicide is the second leading cause of death, ahead of non-preventable forms of death, something is wrong.

The inheritance money argument would be a good one if it weren't for the fact that care homes and hospitals get the inheritance money instead.

There's still some sentience in middle stage dementia, but by the late stage there's literally no one home any more. It's really not obvious what - never mind who - is being kept alive.

It's certainly not a simple problem. But there are existing systems for legal oversight of care, and of power of attorney over family wealth. It doesn't seem an impossible stretch to extend those to allow early termination in cases of extreme suffering or total and irreversible loss of cognitive function.

We have a neighbour in the very late stages of terminal cancer. He's completely lucid. He wants to go, his family want him to go - this has dragged on for over a year now - and it's hard to see a good moral reason for extending everyone's suffering even further.
Is this FUD or do you have anything to back this up with?

I wondered how the author encouraged me to find a solution for the second map that made reach the target by walking around the obstacle to the left side and returning around the right side (and symmetric).

Turns out that if you try to walk back around the left side, the clock is artifically made to run much quicker. Nice.
It's software for simulating circuits.
It inflates the wristband and uses oscillometric measurements to estimate the BP. Source: the user manual (linked on the site near the bottom of the page).

It's the same way most home blood pressure monitors work. It's not as accurate as good old mercury+stethoscope, but it's pretty decent. Generally speaking, measuring on the wrist further reduces accuracy. The absolute values might not be the most accurate, but I suspect the trend over months/years will be accurate enough.
"At Legal Monster we believe that privacy policies should be easy to read and understand." Mobile chrome gave me something that definitely looked different than those screenshots, any reason you're not using that?

The one you are using is fine by the way, one click option to reject all the optional stuff no sane user will ever willingly agree to. I don't want to understand privacy policies, I want a clear and prominent button that tells sites "no and now give me the content I'm here for, do whatever you legally get away with and stop bothering me as if this button click had any impact". Everything else just feels like an all too common dark pattern.

It might be an unpopular opinion, but I use Notion and think that it's user interface is quite bad. I doubt they will go in the right direction for what I need. I moved to Notion from Evernote (spammy, terrible, no innovation for years) hoping for a better experience, but I am still unsatisfied. I will soon be looking for another solution.
Linear typing is obviously ideal, but you can also version expensive to clone objects, and use a struct to reference them with a pointer and version number.

That way if you mess up your algorithm and attempt to access the old version of an object from a stale reference, you at least get an exception.

If you use a struct it makes the pointers fat but there's no allocation.
Most of knowledge is text, maybe a picture here and there.

I, a lifetime worth of knowledge in reasonable HTML of Tiddly Wiki would take less toll on your PC then the current CNN front page.
monocasa isn't saying this should be in source code, but rather the compiler should create machine code that does this. Compilers know the types, so they will know whether they're signed (if they're not signed, then < 0 can be optimized out as impossible). Compilers have no goal of creating assembly that would look good in source code.
Reviewers are getting paid from the university, as are the paper authors. The problem is that the journals exploit the taxpayers and grant providers.

If anything, it's better to be able to read the actual paper than someone else's reporting on it. Far too often mainstream news prints "Eat X to cure Y". Having access to the paper one can better see if the claims are even worth considering.
Fully agree. I was turned off notion for the same reason and reverted back to self-hosting dokuwiki. A much more limited feature set, to be sure, but at least I'll still have my notes 10 years from now.
Wait - did we actually start by extending the lifespans of our parasites???

re: min set of tasks - Obvious list:

0. Decide how you want to license codebase and how much you care about post-release adoption.

1. Write enough documentation to understand what the project is and can be used for (i.e. an edited version of what you have already posted)

2. Minimal demo project / app that the can be build so a prospective user can understand the application / library (probably updated example you already have)

3. Clear repeatable build instructions for demo app/ lib etc

4. License and Copyrights clearly stated and in codebase.

5. One or two paragraph guidance on contributing to the project or using the project.

6. Plan on where to announce, announcement msg and follow up so you can monitor interest.

7. If you decide you do care about adoption, plan on some regular but minimal effort after release to write updates/project blogs so folks can see what is happening and encourage interest. *i.e. dont just throw it public, do no marketing or launch effort and expect people to magically find it and adopt it - some sustenance effort will be necessary. If you don’t care, but just want to release it so its out there – then this step is obviously not necessary.

Finally, perhaps, an alternate way to get people interested in Lucidity and demonstrate Lucidity's benefits would be to package up Lucidity and look to contribute new features / functionality that leverage a subset of Lucidity to an existing project that would benefit from those Lucidity's features.

Whatever you decide, Good luck.

Maybe offtopic, but I'm impressed by the rest of the conversation that generated that message from Linus: there is a whole thread in which Linus gets to explain with detail various locking mechanism in the kernel, pros and cons, etc.

I think we don't see this normally happening; situations in which the (technical) responsible for the Apple or MS kernels get to answer question and explain with such level of detail.

I think also that is even more interesting than the original blog post that originated that thread. Someone should harvest all these Linus comments and order them in some kind of "lectures" library.
The website says that the company was closed.

I don't understand. That chart shows very clearly that youth rates of death by suicide have gone up since 1999. It shows a climb from 10.x in 2007 to 14.x in 2015. That's not quite a third, but it's not far off.

More importantly it shows that deaths from suicide are i: no longer declining and ii: increasing.

This increase appears to happen around 2007 onwards -- this is when we had worldwide financial insecurity, with things like the sub-prime mortgage crisis.

We know financial insecurity is a driver for higher rates of death by suicide, and we have a good idea that the financial problems in 2007 drove some of the increase.
