I’m a 51 year old interested amateur.

While I’m hopeful bio/chemistry/genetic research will help enhance life quality/longevity my focus has been largely lifestyle to go along with a few supplements.

Sleep: minimum of 7 hours
Fitness: strength & movement, yoga/stretching, low impact long duration activity to protect joints
Mental Fitness: intellectual challenges such as reading long-form and learning to code
Mindfulness: managing stress/anxiety
Engagement: with family/friends
Environment: trying to maximise time in healthy environments and limiting my time in unhealthy environments
Hydration: lots of water, no juices/sofa, rarely any alcohol
Nutrition: Intermittent fasting(18/6 5 days a week), ketogenic diet, no processed sugars

Supplements used:

Resveratrol
Ubiquinol
NAD
Thiacin
Fish Oil
Ginkgo

Before I hit 50, I made the shift away from trying to maximise performance and shift focus towards durability/longevity.

I have an outlier score( to the good side) for telomere length, so I’m biased towards believing it helps, but all I can do is all I can do and make the most of every day and remember to have fun along the way.
They have a dedicated devops team who handles infrastructure and operations on top of AWS.
You may have unfortunately fell for a CNN meme, American political parties both ignore science when it goes against their gut feelings.
(To the best of my understanding; I'm not a rocket scientist; etc etc)

You really, really need on-orbit refueling to make this work though. Because if you match the orbit of a satellite, push it out of orbit, well, now you're not in orbit either. So you need enough delta-v to match the sat's orbit, push it out of orbit, get back in orbit, then go to the next satellite (or refuelling depot.)

Another reason to be eager for SpaceX's Starship platform to be operational ASAP!
My favorite part is when the dude who was staying in an illegal flophouse calls the police about cameras

Gee I wonder why the police response was not kind to him
Out of personal interest as someone who’ll be offering pricier “single tenant” or “we’ll deploy to your AWS account”, how do you price this?
Kinda a shitty thing to do, but do the employees have any legal precedent to stand on?
Police melted away and in fact the government fled. And also, it was the 90s, in a "third world" or at least "second world" country-- 20% a month was natural considering US mortgages were like 14% a year at that time.
True, but in a civil war you have organized groups against each other. The biggest criminal group /gang in Albania probably had 30-50 members, and mostly were cousins and locals. State fell apart, why would the local cop risk his and his family's life for peanuts when his own chief would let the drug dealers pass the drugs for a fee? Or let the murderers go away, also for money.

The corrupt and non-existent state is also responsible for revenge attacks, the state doesn't jail your son's killer so you must administer justice. Sounds medieval and it is, but also the killer walking past your door, when your son has rotted in the grave is not right either.
Let's move it out from government oversight. Anything gov touches gets super expensive, especially in the US. Best example is the Obamacare website.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-09-24/obamacare...

Imagine how much cheaper you could have built that website with the same functionality. Now apply the same mental process to nuclear power plants.
I knew this would happen eventually, only a matter of time. I'm really excited for how souped up everything will look in a year or two.
The bizarre story of a man who tried to murder a 600-year-old tree
Agreed. The measurement at the end of the experiment requires the agent's state to stay under superposition with no leaks (or perhaps only trivial leaks that can be patched over).
Hey it's slightly off topic, but if you work with Datasets, a struggle I often have is sharing them, so I built a service for this that you can find here: https://Joule.Host
I agree with you here. We typically only advocate for this if the budget/time is low and the likelihood of a next tenant is not soon. Then we learn all we can on the first couple clones and then move to a real multi tenant design while also handling some tech debt we created the first time around.

What tends to happen is a first immediate client is needed along with a couple of sales demo clients. This buys time for the business to see if it’s viable before we bring on complexity.

But I agree clones of a core system isn’t multi tenancy.

For what it’s worth I tend to tell clients we won’t be sustainable after 4-5 of these such clones.

For people considering the clone approach let me caution one issue that comes up about 90% of the time. A client will as for a custom feature and be willing to pay for it for that “one” clone. These divergences are allowed to happen because we aren’t multi-tenant yet. You need to work hard to educate during this phase so you don’t create too much work down the line when you finally consolidate and refactor.
If you think hotels are immune you’re wrong. Any room can have hidden cameras.
Haven't read the article yet, but it's relieving to see that someone else other than me have identified the phenomenon: "Or is it just the aspiration of so many hoping Big Oil is in trouble?"

Newspaper writers too often impose their own ideals on observations to exaggerate or sometimes even "fabricate" trends.

Unfortunately, I fail to find any examples off the top of my head. But there, I've said it anyway.
I doubt that you can generalise like this. Their base is anything but consistent, especially on energy.
For the purposes of being a stand-in for Wigner's friend, no, obviously not. The whole point of the thought experiment is that the "friend" observer exists in a superposition.
Have you looked at what the Federal Reserve has been buying since March? Compare that to the extra 600 dollars in unemployment benefits that ran out last month, and also consider the complete fuckedupness that the public health response has been in large tracts of the nation.

Care to share any details how your upgrade cycles work for enterprise clients in a SaaS?
Ian the same argument for renewables? Subsidize solar panels to make them affordable... the only difference is, solar panels are smaller so we can iterate faster. Maybe that’s what we need to improve about nuclear...
But there’s quite a lot of research on this?

Yes, the numerous studies and meta-analyses I’ve seen suggest an effect of between 1–10 years of healthy lifespan added. That’s certainly not nothing, but considering that life expectancy at birth is around 80 years in developed countries, you’re talking about something that represents 1/8 of that context.

around your 40s is [...] when your body really starts to age hard

I guess from a technical standpoint, you’re really ageing from birth. You certainly start to see the Gompertz curve start to bite in your 40s though, as the net metabolic damage starts to compound.

Living longer, sure, but mostly it’s about living better

I’ve never really understood this argument. Avoiding the diseases of ageing will ultimately lengthen your life. Avoiding them all indefinitely would lengthen your life almost indefinitely (there is still a non-zero risk of dying without ageing of course).

Look, death and disease are scary. They’re existential threats. Focusing on diet and exercise is great fun, has a host of incidental benefits, and returns the locus of control to yourself; however it cannot do all that much to really deflect the asteroid of ageing in the long run. I just want people to be aware of what the magnitude of the effects actually are, and not get sucked into the hype machine. I suppose sometimes it’s better to travel hopefully than to arrive...I certainly hope that the state of the art advances fast enough to save us all, and that’s basically based on nothing. Supplements like Niacin are just a flat-out bust: https://www.cochrane.org/CD009744/VASC_niacin-people-or-with...

In fact, it’s highly improbable that any one oral drug or supplement will significantly alter the core pathology of ageing (and therefore reduce the risk of all age-related disease in one go). That’s because the human body is a highly complex, tightly-coupled system that is not designed to be reverse-engineered or modified, and because the soma and the germ line split so long ago.

No one is upset, they simply disagree with you...

Maybe avoid trying to dismiss people and look at what they're actually saying? There are things you put in code that others are unfairly judging you for.

Not really. Your queries don't have to contain tenant Id if as part of your tenant context they have a connection string to their tenant DB.
I'll share your project with the team, maybe they'll use it to automate stuff!

Literally just commenting to save for future reference. Thanks for this.
They’re all blameworthy, but the VCs are the ones with the power to stop this sort of nonsense.

Stop investing in nakedly criminal schemes.
>>Currently the whole country has about 50-60 murders per year, which is close to the E.U. average,

Yes, but stats are misleading. Almost all these murders are targeted ones, criminals executing each other or people settling scores from previous years. Random killings in Albania virtually don't exist.
Worked on a startup doing something very similar--would recommend against it. As everyone else is saying, the sales process is incredibly long and most local governments just aren't used to buying SaaS. Local partners are important AND you'll need to be very good at sales: can't rely on marketing to bring in customers.

It's a hard business to bootstrap unless you have a large bank account to fall back upon for years while waiting for sales growth to kick in.
Noting that I had a really intense negative emotional reaction to this video. It's possible that I'm just not your target audience, and certainly the depth of response felt... disproportionate, but I thought I might share my reaction in case it was useful to you.

I think there was a combination of things that straight away disposed me negatively towards it - the negative title (stop X!), the negative introduction (stop x, again) and also the camera being so close to your face. It had the effect of feeling like I was being simultaneously negged and mansplained to by some overly aggressive dude (no doubt more an artifact of my own life experiences more than the video. Stop telling me what to do, Dad.). It felt very you-tube, but like, the uglier parts. I stopped watching pretty quickly.

Glancing at your profile, it seems like you have a number of videos titled "Stop X". I'm noting here that you describe this video as "a video on what to say while writing code." There's a clear value prop there: What to say when writing code! But it doesn't exactly come through in the first exposure to the video. I'd watch a video on "what to say while writing code" because I have my own opinions on it, and am interested in comparing my mental model with someone else who's spent time thinking about good communication in a coding context. Feeling scolded by said video made it a solid pass.

I think I read something purporting to be research about how closeup pictures on faces tend to elicit stronger emotional reactions.

I did like that you were modeling perspective taking - "your interviewer is a programmer who can read your code." Building a capable theory of mind is long term work, and it's work that people who are drawn to computers often don't do.

Anyways, thanks for sharing it, and taking the time to make those videos. It seems like a worthy project.
Well here is another example for you:

That's my point; as a subscriber, you can prefix a long distance call with a routing code to avoid, for example, a shut down long distance network without any administrator changes. Routing to the long distance networks is done independently through the local network, so if AT&T's long distance network was having issues, it'd have no impact on your ability to access Verizon's long distance network.

My mama told me “Hiring a Developer” is like a box of chocolate
Disclosure: I worked on Mathematica for ~8 years.

I think the value of Stephen's big book is that served as a kind of manifesto to "take computation seriously". By that I mean: to think about computations, in the abstract, as a kind of new mathematics about which we know almost nothing, and about which our naive intuitions from other domains is almost totally inapplicable. It is an injunction to explore the "computational universe", in other words, the "universe of simple computational systems", where CAs live as one of several kinds of maximally simple form of computation (which Wolfram made some attempt to categorize and explore).

By analogy, think about the development of algebra. It didn't come naturally! Yet Algebra is one of the most natural ideas in abstract mathematics, incredibly simple and incredibly powerful, lying as a rosetta stone connecting so many other topics in mathematics. But people didn't immediately accept or describe it; it took many hundreds of years to crystalize and mature as a topic. It's a very old piece of the operating system of mathematics that underwent a lot of hacking and refactoring.

Wolfram proposes we think about computational systems in the same way, as a nascent field that needs exploration, mapping, the irrigation of young minds and new ideas. It may be some time before it yields a harvest. We shouldn't expect it to immediately revolutionize everything.

Even after Turing, computational systems existed as a kind of diaspora in mathematics, having sat unrecognized in all kinds of places, never having had a sort of independent state in which they are not considered as an aspect of something else, as somehow alien and unworthy of respect because of their confusing aspects. Largely, there were two reasons they were treated so shoddily:

1. they required computers (and good computer tools) to actually explore, since they produced complex and irreducible computations
2. they resisted any kind of analysis by prior mathematics

In other words, we were not ready to really probe them until a few decades ago, and even now our software is not well suited to explore them (Mathematica remains the best tool for the job, though I anticipate Julia will surpass it rapidly). Furthermore, traditional mathematical fields have not adapted to the presence of computation very gracefully.

I guess I would summarize: NKS is an imperfect book and Stephen an imperfect herald of the ideas within. But he was the first person to really articulate those ideas crisply and push them hard into the imagination, and I'm very glad he did. The hand he overplayed was the application to the natural world -- I think that will take longer to pay off than he predicted.
How costly are these cameras? What are their battery life? Do they stream or record locally? Where do people get them?

This is great! I just spent the weekend researching WebRTC for a language learning project I'm working on. I have a few questions about SFUs. Maybe someone here can help.

1. SFUs seem to be the clear winner for multi-party calls. Do they provide any advantage for 1-on-1 calls over peer'd connections? It seems like using an SFU in this case would double the number of connections, and hence double the connection issues.

2. Do clients communicate with SFUs by establishing a normal RTCPeerConnection like they would with another peer? Or is there some other video sharing protocol for SFUs that I don't know about?

I'm all for nuclear but the safety record talk always seems disingenuous or at least obtuse to me when the stats focus on day to day operations but the fears are about worst case scenarios.

I also feel like the industry would do better if it rallied behind specific new technologies so politicians could rally behind molten salt reactors (or what have you) and placate fears about "old nuclear" designs.
They are going to be replenished constantly - at least, that's the plan - so unless you prefer this satellite over that satellite nothing's going to change.

I use the [OpenDyslexia font][1] which is somewhat helpful but the more I got used to it the less helpful it has become.

The plugin you’re describing sounds pretty helpful! I wonder if it could be built just using CSS rules?

I strongly suggest, for your next step up as a JS person, to take a peek at mediasoup.org. P2P has obvious scalability limitations. That lib not only makes server side forwarding easy (once you read example code), but it abstracts a lot of real-world needed WebRTC features such as simulcast and bandwidth estimation. You'll be making high quality Zoom-like pages in no time (beware though, the dev community ain't great for that lib because at least one of the authors comes off quite rude in the forums).

Also I'd be remiss to not point out the OP's own pion Go libs which do similar on the server side.
Traditional enterprise software suffers from this problem. SaaS doesn't really. Having to deal with different versions of a codebase for different customers was hellish and I don't want to do it again.

Scrap wood is probably a more straightforward approach. It will give experience with woodworking instead of 3D modeling. Scrap wood will let you make better mistakes. Grain and density and dimensional instability will all come into play. Your hands and body will learn things that sitting before a computer can’t teach.

To put it another way, picking the right 3D software is probably a woodworking XY problem. Furniture can and is made without it. Good luck.
> Only if we did it stupidly.

Only if we did it with a weak government. We have an extremely right-wing military (except at the absolute top) and a completely right-wing police force. Without a mass movement, a weak left government is defenseless.

> We already have an American ISIL (a militant, fundamentalist, theocratic politico-religious group), and their allies in the formal political system already run the federal executive branch, dominate the federal judiciary, and control one of two houses of the federal legislature.

Call me when after they start beheading people in the street and taking over neighborhoods with armed street militias. We honestly have to make sure that our rhetoric resembles reality at least vaguely. Pretending like a Republican party that is doing the same thing it did under Nixon or Reagan is basically ISIL just makes people stop listening.

We're watching armed rightist incursions into cities right now, ones that are officially becoming armed skirmishes with the police openly suppporting the invaders (and it's mutual.) Imagine what would happen if we laid off half the police force? It doesn't matter whether it's right or not; of course it's right. What matters is that a bunch of unemployed angry right-wingers with no productive skills and murder training will see the government and the people who voted for it as enemies.

Like what woke liberals are literally doing right now, but without the middle-class liberal arts education and heavily armed. Having the Warren Court during a critical period of civil rights struggle has given liberals a tendency to magical thinking - like Q-followers, we're always waiting for the wise executive to move society forward by fiat. When we're at the point where we're expecting the CIA and FBI to take its place and reign in the elected president, we have to accept this strategy is not effective. We have to build power through having specific values and policies, like the right. You can't just tell an armed bully to stop being a bully because you've been elected the representative of the people he bullies. He doesn't have to do what you say.

American ISIL.

And to celebrate the victory, statues of Confederate soldiers were erected all over the country. During that time a single-issue antislavery party that had defended the Union in a civil war over slavery (the Republicans) decided to virtually merge with the Democrats on racist policy. Those battle flags flew throughout the lands of a supposedly defeated enemy for at least the next century and a half.

There's stress everywhere, agreed. In my experience, holding all else equal the amount of stress you have is correlated with the cost of screwing something up or of not delivering on time. Holding all else equal, that is also correlated with compensation, and if stress is too high relative to compensation that either means you're getting a bad deal or you're in over your head.

That's a reason to push for standardized interviews with objective questions, so you decrease the effect of interviewer bias and focus on candidate performance.

There's definitely something to be said here though about increasing the knowledge of how to get into top tech companies for disadvantaged groups, because I don't think it's common knowledge.
