I am sorry to hear that. I once had lunch with him and John Koza (pioneer in genetic programming) around the 1994 time period.

Larry had the first book I wrote (Common Lisp book for Springer Verlag) and in a good natured way was trying to talk me into writing a book on Dylan. We kept in touch but I didn’t write a Dylan book. Talking with him and John for an hour was like getting a year’s worth of good ideas tossed at you, all at once.

> Just double capacity after 9 years isn't that impressive, is it?

In their defense, there's a limit to what you can fit into and cool in a laptop chassis. The most expensive MPB you can buy now (with Coffee Lake?) can fit a max of 64GB. You can build an AMD (or Intel, if you want to waste money) desktop with >1TB RAM.
Looks like it's gone up sizeably! I was making ~$20K/yr base at Berkeley as a EECS PhD ~7 years ago, and ~double that by interning at top R&D orgs every other summer. It wasn't great, but doable. (It also went +$5-10K/yr depending on when I had brought in some top gov+private fellowships and maybe TA'ships.)

The housing thing is real. I lived frugally yet well, with most $ going to rent and then food: just biking etc. Places in broken real estate markets like Berkeley/Stanford/UCSF/etc. should make super high density grad housing: grad students know they'll have roomates anyway, and the univs already own crazy amounts of land, so either univs pay it in salary (they won't) or in subsidized real estate (cheaper for them!). Likewise, donors love paying for buildings. I know many top folks who turned down UCSF and Stanford b/c of this, and that trend has been going up, so it should be a top ~5 priority. I wouldn't be surprised if the cities are probably even more to blame here however for not letting folks build, which is esp. uphill for lackadaisical univ staff. It took forever for UCSF's mission bay campus to build up, and 10-15 years later, it led to an emerging neighborhood for young professionals... and is still not built up as much as it could be.

On the plus side, that meant I learned how to live quite well in one of the most expensive US cities on a below median salary. Great skill for entrepreneurs here!

I could seriously do with more RAM, but I don't need a $4k computer.

In fact, since I have a MacBook but would be more than happy with a (Linux) ThinkPad, it might not even cost more.

Recommending something I have to pay for not on my phone is an ad by almost any definition of ads. When I go to google and search I get many recommendations which are ads. All of the results in the Music app are links to sign up for Apple Music. That's an ad. If those recommendations were only for music on my phone they would not be ads. If those recommendations were just for random webpages that contain related music they would not be ads. But as a non-subscriber to Apple Music they are all ads for Apple Music.

This will be an interesting wrinkle for US college athletics. Coaches defecting to another university after secret negotiations has become very common. Watching the flights of university owned aircraft and those of prominent boosters has become a way of detecting that such negotiations might be taking place. While public universities would have a difficult time justifying paying to hide their flight data, private universities and boosters have both the means and motive to do so. A source like ADS-B Exchange neutralizes this tactic.

> Worst of all, the destruction of the mosque was unlawful even according to judges themselves and yet they saw fit to compound that injury by taking away the land under the mosque and awarding it to groups allied with the original destroyers of the mosque.

They awarded the land to build the temple because they found archeological evidence that the mosque was built on a non-Islamic structure which is recorded in history as Hindu. The case wasn't about whether the mosque demolition was illegal or not (it was). It was about resolving who the disputed land belongs to. The mosque superseded a Hindu place of worship of huge significance. There was no "perfect" decision here; it was always going to compromise one party over the other.

What? Why would UC Berkeley want to do that, to make itself less appealing as a destination for graduate studies? There’s zero incentive, this is such a silly hypothetical.

Maybe you were a lucky child where that was always the case. For myself and many people I know a lot of the rules/commands leveled at us were genuinely arbitrary, and the presence of arbitrary rules like that has a way of delegitimizing ones that only seem arbitrary.

> Sure its not literally about the physical means of production, but more the abstract notion around creating/owning a bussiness. A hard problem that does involve real skill and lots of risk.

But that makes it a completely different problem. There is no longer a prohibitively expensive "means of production" causing the problem, to which a solution might have been collective ownership, but now instead a collection of barriers to entry to what might otherwise reasonably have been employee-owned businesses if not for the barriers that increase the scale required for success past what the employees can afford.

> The reason you're not starbucks isn't that you can't serve coffee out of your house.

Sure it is. If you can't serve it out of your house then you have to buy separate commercial property from where you live in order to start out. That dramatically increases the barrier to entry and excludes most of the prospective entrants. It also makes it that much more likely for the small entities that do exist to fail, because they have higher expenses. So you get more Starbucks and fewer independent coffee shops than you would have otherwise.

> The reason you're not facebook has nothing to do with dmca or cfaa (relatively easy to comply with regulations).

It's not about compliance costs in that case, it's about the regulations prohibiting a method of competition (adversarially bootstrapping from a competitor's social graph), which entrenches the incumbents.

> Do you think that facebook didn't have to deal with that when they started? They were hardly the first social network either so its not like they had first-movers advantage.

It's not about first-movers advantage either. It's about rules that promote scale and thwart competition, by e.g. de facto inhibiting network forks. It's why Facebook (or whoever is winning this year) has a billion users instead of there being nobody that big and thousands of independently operated community networks each with a fraction of the users.

The problem isn't that nobody can be Facebook. Facebook is clearly Facebook. The problem is that there shouldn't be this much consolidation, and making your own Facebook is harder than it ought to be.

My electric mower uses no fuel[1]. Thats what power stations are for. Recently a set of solar panels and a battery bank are stepping in. I don't mow every day so the rest of the days that power goes to aircon etc.

I don't water or fertilise my lawn. Get a tougher variety. Plus there's enough runoff from my garden so I don't need to care so much. My lawns link my gardens that grow vegetables. In summer some of the lawn dies out. Perfection is an illusion.

Grow your own vegetables[2]. Excellent for mental health and your body in general. Pushing a mower is good exercise. To argue otherwise is to argue that walking is a bad idea. Good luck with that.

It depends on a variety of factors like domain and location. But if you're not finding developers, then its higher than whatever you're offering. And if it's in major tech metros (SV, Seattle + Eastside) it's close to FAANG levels.
Re: the mass of a protein is the sum of all its residues plus the mass of a single water molecule / your second definition, they are equivalent. You could re-write you second version as (sum of all residues minus left and right most) + (sum of left and right residues + two molecules of water) - (one molecule of water) === sum of residues + one water molecule.

(The key is that residues are created whenever a molecule of water is expelled. In theory, you can expel exactly one water molecule from each amino acid to create a residue, with one hydrogen from the amine group and the hydroxl from the carboxylic acid. In reality, it takes two amino acids to start the process of peptide synthesis, and each aa contributes only one part (either the proton or the hydroxl group) of the theoretically expelled water molecule. In reality its not even a single water molecule, as the hydroxyl group is going to pick up a spare proton from solution and the extra proton on the amine will get pick up by gawd knows what) <-- Downright wrong (at least, in regards to its importance to residues.).

The condensation is connected in this instance but not in all instances of residues. I think the usage is more clear if you look at some of the other examples in the biochemistry section of the wiki page
"...a residue refers to a specific monomer within the polymeric chain of a polysaccharide, protein or nucleic acid. One might say, "This protein consists of 118 amino acid residues" or "The histidine residue is considered to be basic because it contains an imidazole ring." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residue_(chemistry))

Politics. I found that getting promoted within FAANG depends largely on your ability to navigate politics, not on how good you are at your job. You will move up much faster if you optimize for "Find the right people and get them, through whatever means, to say great things about you at performance reviews" - I've seen many brilliant people at the company who never moved up because they were bad at navigating or manipulating human relationships. And I've also seen people who were, let's say, not the brightest, but extremely good at manipulating people and make themselves look good - they moved up very quickly.

It has also given me a new appreciation of why startups can be so efficient. The joke that every gmail redesign made the product worse but had to be done because someone needed to get promoted is no joke. When politics falls away and everyone's incentive is to become profitable or to build a good product the result can be magical.

"discoverability for more uncommon icons since they now had labels."

This is like what my father used to say about hitting yourself over the head with a 2-by-4; it felt so good when you stopped. Icons are good if they have a menu label attached. If you have to look for the menu label (which I always do, despite having used MsOffice at work for forever), what do you need the icon for?

"You could always find what you wanted quickly the first time." Wrong. We have now switched to Office 365. In some ways the ribbon is similar, but it's enough different that I'm constantly hunting for something that I sort of knew where to find before. I've resorted to looking for on-line help several times today (you know the kind with the screenshots.) So I'm definitely not finding things quickly the first time. And even after I've used a widget several times, I still don't find it any quicker than I do with the menus in LibreOffice (at home).

I don’t think there is much that management can do in this case. What you say is true where unions have historically shown up. But these times are different. Like most people pushing an agenda and participating in twitter outrage mobs, I think this is ideologically driven, and the employees have a very limited understanding of how unions work and when they are needed. It’s essentially a meme.
> They are buying more than the snacks. They are buying you time, since you never need to make office grocery runs to stock your desk. Might not be a huge deal, but elimination of chores really is a perk.

Wrong. This is the complete opposite of what's happening. They aren't eliminating a chore you'd need to do. You're going to work 9-5 whether they provide free snacks or not, and you're going to snack. If they don't provide them, you're going to leave and go get them somewhere else. They're providing snacks to keep you from leaving the office. They get you at your desk longer. It's not a perk. It's a cheap way to extract more labor.

I'm really happy they are doing this. As an anecdote, I got into USC's grad program with a 45k per year salary, which was great! But, the person who was running the lab actually emailed me saying that I really should think about entering a PhD program after working in the industry. The quality of life decrease is so huge when going from 6 figures to sub 50k. I couldn't stomach it and decided to stay in industry, even though it's something I think about everyday. In the end, I'd rather have some amount of stability and comfort taking on the burden of having such a low salary in a high cost of living area. It's especially frustrating because my job in the industry is so much easier but I make so much more money. It's extremely unfair for these students to be paid so little.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people... This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
