Yeah so this was an interesting podcast, if you have listened to previous episodes.

Eric claims that he, his brother, and his wife have all made important scientific discoveries in theoretical physics, biology and economics which were either ignored or stolen by the establishment. Most of the episode is about his brother who found that selective breeding practises in laboratory mice produced animals that due to long telomeres, were more likely to get cancer and were better at repairing tissue damage. The implication being that mice are not good animal models for medical research. One of the world's leading researchers on telomeres, who won a novel prize for the work allegedly helped Bret Weinstein in the initial stages of this telomere study, then tried to block publication of Bret's article through peer review suppression (which didn't work, the article was published anyway), and also published on the same data, interpreting it differently but not acknowledging Bret at all.

I can tell you that the idea that mice are not great models of disease is hardly a groundbreaking realisation. Eric and to a lesser extent Bret try to inflate the significance of this discovery as much as possible, which gets quite cringeworthy at many points.

Eric berates scientific peer review as a highly flawed system, which obstructs science and stops people with good ideas that aren't part of the establishment from making important contributions. This fits into his broader narrative that the boomer generation holds all the power and aren't interested in letting anyone else thrive. This is hardly anything new. His personal example doesn't actually involve peer review per se. He says he discovered something important in theoretical physics as a graduate student, but some senior physicist brushed him off, so he didn't work on it or publish anything. Some time later Ed Whitten apparently came up with the same thing, which was lauded as a brilliant discovery. I mean, doesn't everyone have a story like this? Science just isn't a system which rewards people commensurate to their cleverness. Many clever people don't do science for this reason I suspect, going off to be chess masters or quant traders (which is fine).

Of course you could say to Eric, well, you shouldn't have been deterred and published your work anyway. He tries to see off this quite legitimate challenge by saying that because of peer review, there was no point in trying to do this. This is a fairly circular argument. The Portal is a very interesting podcast and I will keep listening, but hopefully there aren't too many more self-entitled diatribes like this one.

Nope. Cloud is being commoditized as we speak which means there will be a race to the bottom when it comes to the margins. Bezos has already boasted that he is willing to turn down the dial for margins all the way down if it comes to that. Right now there still lot to eat for everyone but soon scarcity of finding new customers will take hold. THen you will find companies to cut down prices to get more customers and huge margins we see now evaporate very quickly. In that setting, only Amazon has good survival skills.

In my view, the biggest opportunity is AI. If I was CEO of Google, I would make a massive investment not just in research but engineering turn-key AI systems that can give businesses a massive boost.
This quote from another article on the source website is interesting:

“Craft Using An Inertial Mass Reduction Device.” While all are pretty outlandish-sounding, the latter is the one that the Chief Technical Officer of the Naval Aviation Enterprise personally vouched for in a letter to the USPTO, claiming the Chinese are already developing similar capabilities.

...

"That being said, the unorthodox circumstances surrounding the approval of this patent have us wondering why the Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. Naval Aviation Enterprise, Dr. James Sheehy, personally vouched for the legitimacy of this beyond-revolutionary aerospace technology in the Navy’s appeal to the USPTO. Sheehy assured the patent examiner in charge of this application that the aircraft propulsion method described in the patent is indeed possible or will be soon based on experiments and tests NAWCAD has already conducted. "
> What is with Americans who continually fail to understand that there's a world outside of America?

I think it’s cause they’re not a force for good in the world. So they look out and only see bad things, eg poverty, wars. Or they look out and see China catching up (the horror). It’s not fun, so they look away.

China can look at Africa and know it’s alright, cause China lifted 1 billion people out of poverty in the last 40 years. America can’t even handle its own poverty, see the healthcare struggles.

> Who are we as humans to decide what that means for them?

Is that a joke? Rats, cockroaches, and mosquitoes are all life forms. Poison ivy is a life form. Guinea worms are life forms.

We as intelligent beings get to decide what it all means. We can crush them, we can use them to our advancement, or we can set them up as gods and worship them.

But none of those things are beings. It's our language, and we , not mice, get to decide what the word "being" means.
My biggest confusion learning Chinese when I was growing up was the concept of "orange". I believe orange only became part of the common vernacular fairly recently. But since Chinese words are just a combination of other words, the words for obviously orange things were using red/yellow.

Now in modern usage, the color orange is named after the fruit, but the name of the orange fruit differs by region. Some places refer to oranges as tangerines, with no differentiation between oranges/tangerines, so the word for orange is actually tangerine in those regions.

There's a good write up of other colors here: https://everything2.com/title/Chinese+colors
Nice question! Ideally we all bank as soon as possible. However, there are still benefits regardless of what age you decide to preserve your cells. Your cells are the youngest today. They'll be older and more damaged tomorrow. See this paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/nbt.3749) which details how there is an increase in harmful damaging mutations with the specific cells we are interested in as a result of age.

The cells in your body at age 60 are going to carry more harmful mutations than the cells you had when you were 20. See this paper (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3836174/) for a description of the molecular aging process. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Not always true. I frequently procrastinate on things that I actively enjoy doing and want to do. There are times when I want nothing more than to be doing something and I still procrastinate doing it. This applies to things that aren't work or aren't productive just the same, things that take little effort like watching a series or playing a video game.

Medication does make it a lot better and I don't procrastinate nearly as much as I used to, but before I started taking it, there were times where I'd lie on the sofa with the remote control next to me and I would just stare at the ceiling thinking about watching that movie I've been wanting to watch and I still couldn't bring myself to do it.

The first time it took very long and after a while it said 'still loading'. Then after a while 'sorry this is taking so long'. And then 'trying another server'.

I don't get it. The point of patents is public disclosure -- if you want to keep something secret, you don't patent it. A patent isn't going to prevent a foreign government from copying a technology in their own country. It instead helps them, because a patent is supposed to document the technology in sufficient detail to replicate it. It would just prevent them from competing to sell them in the US.

Kind of a nice answer. Their comment about contributing is not really valid, I'm not going to contribute to something they have already solved and not released to open source. They already have the answer. And I understand the fact that open source is incredibly difficult to make money and maintaining it sucks. But just stop being open source and be another analytic company. Trying to pretend you are both and want contributions to things you've already written in your private repo doesn't work.

> That's impossible by means of how they're written. GNU still cares about operating systems that don't bundle the mdoc macros with their troff processor

Sudo supports such systems even though its manuals are written in mdoc.

The source tarball contains both the original mdoc manuals and man manuals, autogenerated by mandoc (https://mandoc.bsd.lv) which can convert mdoc to man—easy to do, since mdoc is a semantic format.

Then at build time one format or the other will be installed depending on how capable the system manpage formatter is.

Any project using mdoc pages could do the same thing. Projects using autotools could even copy Sudo’s autoconf macros for this.

I think you might like my book, the No Bullshit Guide to Linear Algebra. It doesn't focus on the proofs, and instead gives lots of intuition and applications. You can check the reviews on amazon, and here is a link to a PDF with a few sample chapters: https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSguide2LA_previ...

There are also some video tutorials on the first chapters here:
https://github.com/minireference/noBSLAnotebooks#no-bullshit... (lots of hands-on examples using the computer algebra system SymPy)

I won't lie to you and tell you linear algebra is "easy" by any means—there are a lot of things to pick up, so it takes some time, but it is totally worth it since LA is like the swiss-army knife of science: lots of features and super useful.
This sort of vague condemnation of STEM and praising of liberal arts never seems helpful. All math is bad? We shouldn't teach any? Are all liberal arts classes are equally good?

When there's this `donate.mozilla.org` website, then, no I don't think the execs should have market rates.

Either remove the donation website, or find execs who are driven not by money and market rates, but by changing and improving society.

I think the latter types of execs, would work better, for making FF popular and increasing revenue. The idea that only execs that need lots of money (market rate) or they'd jump to another company, can do a good job, seems weird to me.

I've understood that in theory the Donate-to-Mozilla thing doesn't donate to the execs — but in practice, I'd say yes it does (to some extent at least).
