This is actually accurate. The main product of the Ivy League is prestige by association in the general populace, and it requires mass marketing to try to keep their brand of prestige scarce. The fact that the studentry and faculty are as able and smart at the state universities is irrelevant to the product.

I'd love to see an Amazon lookalike with solely local results. I.e., local stores list their inventories, accept payment, and do delivery. Does anything like that exist?

Marketing and integration would be hurdles: You'd have to convince businesses to integrate, and you'd have to become a household name to consumers. You'd have to write integrations for the menagerie of systems small businesses use, or else become key enough for them to switch.

Local makers could use it, too. I'd expect that'd become more important as things like 3D printing and working from home continue to grow.
WHO have maintained for months that asymptomatic patients are not infectious.

Until very recently they still said

"The risk of catching COVID-19 from someone with no symptoms at all is very low."

They now say
"Some reports have indicated that people with no symptoms can transmit the virus. It is not yet known how often it happens. WHO is assessing ongoing research on the topic and will continue to share updated findings."

"The researchers invented an AutoML system that trains only a single, large 'once-for-all' (OFA) network that serves as a 'mother' network, nesting an extremely high number of subnetworks that are sparsely activated from the mother network. OFA shares all its learned weights with all subnetworks — meaning they come essentially pretrained. Thus, each subnetwork can operate independently at inference time without retraining."
> "they disagree with me so they must be fringe"

That is not what I am saying. I am saying that they disagree with vast institutions of scientists who explain quite clearly in the above-linked report why they are wrong.

Regarding different background levels, I'm sorry if my numbers were not precise (I was reading them off of this DOE chart [1]), but the point remains that there are variation across at least 1 and almost 2 orders of magnitude in the world's natural radiation at dose rates far higher than what Greenpeace has used to make shocking Chernobyl estimates that can be used to robustly throw out the high-number estimates anti-nuclear institutions have used for years to scare people.

Does that make sense? Greenpeace is literally taking dose rates lower than US average background and saying that any increment even below that level will cause more Chernobyl deaths. This is unjustifiable by any stretch of any imagination.

Happy to quote. Sorry about not being specific enough about where it was. I even got the section wrong. The quote is from page 10 in the report (pg 18 in the pdf). Section 3.1.f:

"In general, increases in the incidence of health effects in populations cannot be attributed reliably to chronic exposure to radiation at levels that are typical of the global average background levels of radiation. This is because of the uncertainties associated with the assessment of risks at low doses, the current absence of radiation-specific biomarkers for health effects and the insufficient statistical power of epidemiological studies. Therefore, the Scientific Committee does not recommend multiplying very low doses by large numbers of individuals to estimate numbers of radiation-induced health effects within a population exposed to incremental doses at levels equivalent to or lower than natural background levels; "

For years I've used Gmail Filters to apply labels to specific "from" addresses. Takes a bit to set up as I have very long "from(@domain.com OR @domain2.com OR ...)" queries but ideally I'm also unsubscribing from newsletters etc. that I don't want.

I also use multiple inboxes as well. First, "Starred" (different colored stars means different things to me and this strategy is used consistently across multiple platforms inc macOS labels, Trello etc.), then "Alerts" (critical emails from various systems), then "Important and Unread", then everything else.

Most emails are not "important" and I do actively unsubscribe so the method is manageable for me. The last thing I need is my email inbox to be a giant todo list. Most important are tech/work related, current projects, finance/business. I try not to sign up for anything that I need to read, newsletters etc. That's what RSS is for. Email is for quick actionable item and some communication.
> but the "second-tier" schools (Carnegie-Mellon, Rensselaer, Duke, Cornell, etc.)

Odd how the perception among high schoolers differs from that of industry.

In the software engineering industry, CMU is considered top-tier, along with a few others probably not on this group’s radar like University of Washington.

Also, fwiw, Cornell is Ivy League too, and afaik Duke is considered effectively same tier as Ivy League.

I'm not sure a lot of the comments here have read Feynman's memoir. As much as he was a brilliant scientist, his attitude towards women does show. That chapter is chilling, it reads like a post on an incel group.

Sure he was in a more sexist society. But the reason this still matters is that it represents the sexist culture that's still around in science today. It's not about the man it's a bigger discussion on an institution.
You're right that there is an opportunity cost here, and that it may be underestimated by most people, but you just can't give people much imaginary credit for things they might have done.
Hmm, yeah, I can see what you mean about a car giving a little more independent space. I guess it's the fact that I could get off whenever I wanted? I could look on my phone or listen to something without having to worry about driving the car as well. Or, I guess managing a car has always felt more responsibility than privilege to me.

I guess also "an hour or more stuck in between everyone's armpits" is also like a worst-case scenario, and it happened to me infrequently enough that I didn't mind overall. Or, Tokyo rush hour might have been like commuting on the LA interstate? Neither are very fun, but driving along the Pacific Coast Highway is a more ideal kind of thing. I think I've had a lot of commuter rail situations like that too which have made up for it.

Yes. Honing Javascript skills will land you better jobs. jQuery is not really used that much anymore. Angular demand is slowly declining and React is dominating. See https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=j...

If you want to hone your javascript, try a module I've created where I am trying to get people to quickly improve their JS skills (to where they can understand concepts such as callback, closure, arrow functions, ES5/ES6 syntaxes, etc): https://www.hackerhero.com/g/advanced-javascript-beta

Once you master these skills, then if you study React, I think a lot more jobs will open up for you. You can also use your updated JS language to learn Node.js and get familiar with Express. Also study socket.io to really study how socket is used, especially for building real time web applications.

Also beef up your resume by studying other tools such as LESS, SASS, Coffeescript, Typescript (and spend no more than a few hours on each of them). Beefing up your resume with more modern libraries will distinguish your resume from other resume that also state they know HTML, CSS, and jQuery.

Hope this helps.
Ebooks can be updated, though, and you can get updates for free after you make a single purchase, for example through the Kindle platform? It becomes a sort of BaaS or Book-as-a-Service, which seems a nice way to accommodate both parties.
> Imagine you have a single core compilation process

Who runs builds with a single core compilation process? Are we back in 1990?

You are hard-pressed to find a CPU with a single core nowadays, even in the cheapest of consumer segments. Why are you fabricating such an unrealistic case?
Lightspeed (POS) is well positioned to offer this. They have all inventories, prices, skus, supplier prices (cost) and the scale to logistically implement this via the store management software they already have all merchants running.

You could order via their single portal, have it fulfilled from the nearest store, and then dispatch delivery and track it all in one place. Would be a one-click enable for most merchants. Many of them are not large enough to run a full online store, and there isn't enough consumer trust to buy from every mom and pop website our there (nor should there be).

Seems like a nice migration path for brick and mortar - like Uber eats but less predatory.
I can't speak to the exact costs involved, obviously.

But I believe you're being far too pessimistic as to organizing it. The "omnipotent creature" to organize it just... city government. Roads and utilities are already built/managed well enough. You're right it won't "self-organize" -- the city has to contract and build it. It's paid for, like other large projects are, out of bonds paid off over deacdes by taxes, and/or contracts to operate. Nobody has to "outlaw the old system".

You just build it gradually, and UPS/USPS/etc. will take advantage of it wherever it can (for all addresses supported) because it will be by definition cheaper.

Governments manage big infrastructure projects all the time. This is how major bridges and tunnels get built. All of your arguments apply to pretty much most big government projects.

> Nobody is signing up for those taxes so they can get their pizza or Amazon delivery via a tube instead.

My point is that yes they absolutely will if it's cheaper in the end. Making up numbers, if you spend $400/year on last-mile shipping and delivery, it's financed by bonds up-front, and the extra taxes are on average $200/year/person for the next 40 years (but with progressive taxation)... then of course people would be signing up for that. Vastly better delivery service for half the price? Why wouldn't they be?
Not familiar with Scan UK but I would bet they don't resend RMA boards endlessly like Amazon sellers might do.
You already trust them not to make compromised software updates anyway. While I agree that this is definitely a potential issue, I don’t think it changes the threat model.

Not sure exactly what you mean here but on its face it isn’t true. Formal Methods are arguably the single best way of protecting you against attacks that you are not already aware of, by eliminating entire classes of bugs, errors or attack vectors, without regard to what type of attacks may be used against them.
> Since many are doubting what I went through

It's not that people are doubting your experience, it's that the Intel boards aren't any better. Many of the Intel boards also need a BIOS update to support later CPUs than they were originally released with, when they support them at all. DDR4 memory is finicky as heck. People end up having to RMA Intel boards all the time.

It's largely caused by the motherboard makers losing the ability to differentiate themselves. Half of what used to be on the motherboard is now integrated into modern CPUs and the other half is in the chipset which is now also made by the CPU manufacturer. Two motherboards with the same chipset are largely fungible so they have to compete on price and the quality suffers. It's a general problem and buying any consumer motherboard these days is kind of a crapshoot.

Here's a motherboard with 5 eggs and 50 reviews:

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813121180

It's a Pentium 4 motherboard from ~15 years ago. See if you can find a current generation Intel motherboard on there with 5 eggs from half that many reviews. I don't see any.

So very.
Tap water quality differs from one municipality to another, so I wonder about the value of a map by county. E.g., in Germany the quality is generally good, almost universally safe to drink, but in some rural areas with intense agriculture, the water might be so rich in nitrates, that occasionally (seasonally?) it is recommended that pregnant women and small children drink bottled water.

The taste and suitability to make tea differs wildly w/o impacting health (matter of carbon content). And it's not quite clear to me, whether the amount of chlorine should affect the listed water quality. Some people are sensitive to it, I'm not. And you can always let it sit for a while and the chlorine will evaporate.

Yeah, this is just a much better way to conduct meetings.

I've been in many meeting rooms where there's a single projector/tv, and the person controlling it only shows either the remote cameras OR their screen (while they're sharing), so that isolates the remote people even more. (I've also been the remote person in this situation, and it definitely feels more like being an occasionally noisy fly on the wall then a full participant).

Everyone also gets their full desktop (big/multiple monitors, full keyboard, etc).

It'll be interesting to see what happens post-lockdown.. will the people miss the benefits of "one remote = all remote" and have more empathy for remote people, or will we go back to the same old?
I think you are on to something in your second sentence. To what extent do you perceive these social effects being a result of the cultural character of those places that your classmates or their parents have emigrated from? It seems that affluent (or at least professional class) immigrants of the past three decades are very attuned to status/conformity, and so your experience may well be outside the 'norm' of the US. Keep your mind open as you grow up and meet people from across this country, there is an exciting amount of thought/values diversity if one looks for it in good faith. Focus on the upsides in the hyper-competitive nature of your current peers, they will hopefully mellow with age and wisdom (and will be extremely capable!).
>possibly easier to print but I'm not very familiar with that.

As of now they're pretty much the only way to dark-room print from color film as there is no more paper or chemicals for color-positive prints being made anymore. There used to be Cibachrome/Ilfochrome which was apparently highly regarded, but production of that ended a couple years ago.

Apparently there's a way to reversal process regular RA-4 color paper, but I never tried it. Essentially you expose your paper, then process it in black&white chemistry. After that you wash the paper and expose it again with white light. You then process the paper in RA-4 color chemistry. What's kinda cool about the second processing is that you can do it in the light.

I don't think it's fair to say he saw women at large as "sex objects," since he often encouraged and aided female colleagues in their scientific work. That doesn't preclude him from seeing women in that way in certain contexts, or that being sexist, but I do think his view of women was a lot more nuanced than a characterization like that would suggest.
Many don’t; students will find a way to use them anyways.
