The problem with pharma development is not the lack of ideas.

The majority of those are solely popular because they're free, or heavily subsidized. That's not a viable economic model for doing lots of intense, focused development, and a lot of those above projects lack people doing "boring work", or are subsidized by companies relying on closed-source and patented work to fund the boring stuff.

I'd really like to read more about how tax payers are paying $18,000 each but all I can find as a source is some twitter comment and a reddit thread where the claim is disputed. Do you have something more substantial I could read? At first glance it seems extremely exaggerated so I'd like to get my head around it.

Tax revenues which have been decimated by the crisis. Unlike the Federal government which can effectively borrow/print whatever it needs, states and municipals are limited by the real world and either have balanced budget requirements or de facto requirements imposed by the bond market/fiscal realities. The equation is simple. Tax revenues have plummeted while expenses have risen due to the costs of coping with the crisis (unemployment, medical services, etc..). Am I saying all of these tax dollars are spent with great efficiency? Of course not. But imposing unnecessary austerity in the middle of a crisis has proven time and time again to do nothing but prolong and deepen economic pain. It would be arbitrary and destructive if say US defense spending can remain immune because it has access to infinite credit while our school district and firefighters will be cut because they are state/local funded.

If you are 10 times faster than the average, but can only bill average rates than it might look fair to you to do the work in 1 day and take 9 off. If then you mortage needs payments, you might think why take 9 days off and not do the same for somebody else. Of course I do not endorse this behaviour, but i can see how somebody could see this not as stealing as it is.
I do not understand the want to stick with fixed-width fonts in this day and age. We do not use the editor to punch cards anymore, nor do we type text on a character-cell terminal or a typewriter. With the high-resolution displays, code we write should look more like one that is found in some nice programming books - complete with bold-faced reserved words, italicized comments, and even some mathematical typesetting. This could even (re)open the path to the Holy Grail of literate programming!

They may "own" it, but their customers rent it, for a cost. It's no longer "their" bandwidth, it's the bandwidth their customers gave them money for, because those customers wanted Netflix.

Also, an interesting twist to ponder: arguably the data packets "belong" to Netflix and the customer.

Arguably, it's the empty "capacity" that's being owned and rented by the Internet carrier and its customer, who can then have pricing discussions around how much capacity.

One thing i overlooked earlier is water's propensity to form acids and bases, which support all sorts of useful biological functions. Methane's hydrogen atoms are tightly bound and methane itself is has no dipole moment- meaning it may have the same physical phases as water, but I am skeptical that it could fully support life as a substitute.

This. The reddit's video player is a total mess, in both functionality and usability. For the majority of time it simply doesn't load the video, and when it does, the play/pause/seeking is extremely laggy, and often any interaction causes the video to just not play.

And yet... reddit is still probably better than the alternatives.

Half of what I search for nowadays has a "reddit" version tacked on the end in googles auto complete. That is, people are deliberately searching for results to questions explicitly from reddit and it's popular enough that it's surfacing in googles autocomplete.

The only other site that gets that kind of treatment is stackoverflow.

Music of XX century is rather a broad subject, but I assume - from your question - you are looking for popular music genres like pop, rock, hiphop, etc.

In fact, most of this music has been as much a cultural phenomenon and and a statement of a generation, as it was... music. Not being rude to individual artists, who were at times very talented, a lot of this music is musically rather simplistic and doesn't require any preparation, but a cultural context. Granted your film-literature preferences, a good territory to start explorations from would be watch a few music movies, like the history of the Doors etc. that could give you the context needed and you are all set for many months of listening. But is all largely about youthful energy, about love, a man vs society, about dance and drugs. So - if you are not too young anymore - it can be a bit boring ;)

One exception would be jazz, that is a bit more complex to grasp, but again - you have a good series from Ken Burns to start with. That being said, to enjoy jazz truly in it's more complex genres, I would argue at least certain musical background is beneficial, maybe some youtube talks etc.

Classical music... well this is a true ocean. Just Beethoven piano sonatas could be a passion for a year or two. You're talking about XX century, and there's been great classical music published in that period! But probably - if you go that route - you really want to start with renaissance and baroque. Here a lot of great introductory courses are available. If you don't have musical background, Robert Greenberg series on Great Courses is really an entertaining and valuable intro.

And then there is world music, ranging from African roots bands playing drums to Indian classical music.

Now - having all that said - my personal perspective is that to enjoy music, you want to enjoy music. What I mean by that, is that you might want to dance, sing, play! Even a simple baroque dance, played by your self, could be way more gratifying that latest dull pop hit. If you really want to enjoy music and not just be a pop music encyclopedia who knows names of The Beatles - you should do one of these!

I once worked for a ~10 person consulting firm. We had a contract to do some IT work for a large firm's HR department. We'd joke that the HR department needed its own HR department, to work out the politics among them. And, we'd joke that we needed clients so we could borrow their office politics so we could have some.

My pop-science (I learned about Dunbar's number from Malcom Gladwell's 'Tipping Point') theory for this is that we're wired to think of some small set of people (~150) as 'our group'/'my people', and that within that group we're more likely to forgive, and outside that group, we're more likely to blame.
Only tangentially related to your comment, but I find it interesting enough to comment anyway. Jeff Bezos is literally the wealthiest man alive, and by some measures, the wealthiest that has ever lived. He could literally buy anything he could ever want. Most people would have gladly retired and lived whatever life they wanted to, and they would have done it billions of dollars ago. And so, the fact that he hasn't retired and is still actively involved in building things shows that he still wants something more in his life. And by observing what he is building, we can infer what it is that the richest man in the world wants. And all I can infer at this point is that his biggest desire is to be Elon Musk.

And it's obviously not his wealth that he's envious of. I believe it's the adoration, the faith in his abilities, and excitement of a cult following. All he wants is for people to do for him what you are doing for Musk.

#4 seems like somewhat of an overstatement. It's true that you probably can't really keep money out of the stock market if you have appreciable money to invest. But that doesn't mean you can't reasonably hedge your bets at least somewhat. You won't get the full upside if the market continues to do well but you do have some downside protection that has at least a small return.

Make sure you have some decent headphones/speakers before you start, which will allow you to pick up the subtleties in what’s playing. Then get a streaming service with high quality. RateYourMusic is pretty good for organizing best albums of each year or decade, by genre as well. It might not have what was popular from a historical perspective but is probably a good start. I check out different genres and then read about them on Wikipedia, which has a ton of information about every genre and chronology of music.

First, kudos for Having a growth mindset.

Some thoughts Taken with grain of salt

- before quitting try to figure a few positions that you want to head to after your masters and study. Is it ML scientist, Data scientist, ML engineer, Data engineer, PhD in ml etc., use that to figure out your plan. This will help if you want to add more time to learn algorithms and programming too.

- what are your strategies to get a Ml job Or higher studies once masters is complete

- tradeoffs — a part time masters gives you the flexibility to see if you truly enjoy, switching to fulltime has the advantage of compressing time to speed up your learning

- if you can intern in a ml position while doing masters nothing like it. Network as much as possible, on campus,instructors, alumni etc

There's also minimal ethical/moral hazard associated with the projects cited. Pharma trials mean that some nonzero proportion of the study populations will subjected to side effects, some of which may be permanent and debilitating. Some study participants may even die as the result of an adverse event. This is a major disincentive to development that the opensource projects cited never have to face.
There are several COVID vaccines in stage 3 trials, I think it is safe to say that we will have a vaccine being rolled out by mid 2021 at the very latest.

If you're crawling pathological, client-side redirect chains, maybe do pattern-matching scans on loaded code for the full set of redirect methods? There's only so many, and includes / doesn't-include seems a fair way to bucket pages.

> getting a rocket to orbit isn't that big of a deal these days.

Arguably true, but to the extent that is is true, it makes BOs failures to do so given how much time and money has been spent on it rather inexplicable, no?

Either they're doing something hard (and might fail), or they're doing something easy so why haven't they succeeded? Either way you cut it, it's a bad look.

> They appear to be making steady progress

It's certainly slow. Whether it's steady or indeed, progress, remains to be seen.

> I'm not saying they will absolutely succeed, but their success feels more like a when than an if unless Bezos decides to pull the plug for some reason.

Let's hope.

If we assume:

* BO rocket 2x the cargo size
* Satellites same size/weight as starlink

120 sats per launch(vs F9's 60). If they have to launch 1618 by 2026, that means they need 14 launches in 6 years.

If they only need 1/2 the 1618, they need 7 launches in 6 years.

So I think 7 launches(840 sats) it's still in the realm of possibility, but they have to execute everything pretty much flawlessly to make it happen. They can't afford to have many things go wrong.

Getting 14 launches done in 6 years would be very ambitious. Unless they are way way further along than they have told the public, this is probably just wishful thinking.
