Global warming is the root of the issue. Global warming is causing climate change. Because we've caused a 40% increase in atmospheric co2 by releasing tens of billions of tons of it into the atmosphere every year. Yes nuclear probably has a role to play, but it isn't a silver bullet. we should be putting a price on co2 emissions and letting the market decide how best to decarbonize. Different markets will almost certainly choose different things depending on their climate, topography, economy, available capital, and level of development.
Yes, but:
- They're trying to do the same thing by keeping you engaged by shoving up as much content as they can to you, by making recommender systems that "know you".
- They polarize you in just the same way as advertisements do. Once I started watching documentaries on meat, that's all I was suggested further. The only thing I'd say is Netflix's content is regulated and less opinionated, whereas YouTube is a free market and every opinion has its own library of rabbit holes to dig into.

Everything Java does, C# does better. Java shouldn’t still struggle with generic arrays...but it does. Java should easily have first-class pointer support by now. C# does but Java doesn’t. Checked exceptions should have long been put to bed by now...but they haven’t.

The only reason to use Java atm is interop with another JVM language (e.g. Clojure) or to not get locked into the MS ecosystem. C# is otherwise just streets ahead at this point.

> US had a literacy rate of 99%, in a nation of farmers. Kids were taught at home or in one-room schools. It was understood that the main purpose of education was not to create factory workers, but to have critically-thinking and informed citizens in a republic. The contrast between that and our current generation of algorithm-driven conspiracy theories is stark.

That is complete bullshit. In 1870 there was a 20% illiteracy rate: https://nces.ed.gov/NAAL/lit_history.asp

I suggest you seriously reconsider your views on how the current education system works vs how it used to be back when people were on farms and learning in one room schoolhouses. It smells to me like you’ve been fed a line of bullshit by someone who has a beef with the current system and just wants to paint the ignorance-filled past with rose-colored enlightenment glasses. This society of highly literate, critical thinking farmers did not exist.
I have moved from consulting to academia with the start of the crisis, as I have thought I will bring more utility there. It is true so far, but the amount of bureaucracy is staggering. Though running a small business here in Switzerland is also impossible without a ton of bureaucratic hurdles, so there's that. I have won a "fast track" grant back in June, but the money is still not unlocked, as it requires cooperation for paperwork of 10 individuals (of which 7 are the administration) in 3 organizations.
TV, magazines have to choose _one_ editorial line at a given time. Social media can present everyone their own bubble, and so it has bad side effects. When you have a forum, everyone is presented the same content. For example, this results in administrators being aware of bad content most of the time (at least in the few forums I follow). Everyone on HN see the same ranking. Social media and recommendation engines though, will send you into your own rabbit hole of a handful of interests. I advise you to view the documentary, this will answer your question best.

Currently I use node.js + rsync + duplicity to create two backups, and it works pretty fine. Firstly I create a backup to a local server via node.js and rsync, then upload them to the remote server via duplicity, which supports both encryption and compression. Both tasks run periodically and automatically, and backup files incrementally.
You say disambiguate, but there is no ambiguity. Only one parse could possibly be valid.

1. Understand the concept of "paying yourself first". This is important and will go a long way for setting an investment and savings mentality.

2. As others pointed out, having an emergency fund set up and ensuring that you're taking advantage of all employer-matching and tax-saving benefits (both company and government). Different countries have different settings, so you could probably try and research those online, or ask someone you trust

3. Along with the Intelligent Investor, another book I found helpful was "A Random Walk Down Wall Street". This will help you understand ETFs and index funds

edit: If you're not in the US (or in a significantly well-developed economy), a lot of the advice in either of these books might not be as ideal as it would be otherwise. For example, in developing economies, beating of the index by reasonably knowledgable active investors is fairly common

4.

> Also, any resources for understanding index funds would be great. I know they are a basket of securities but I don't understand why they're traded on the stock market just like a stock

Index funds and Index ETFs are slightly different. Index Funds are not traded like a stock, Index ETFs are. Funds usually have a "Net Asset Value" which changes once per day. ETFs trade like a stock, and tend to fluctuate intraday.

5. Make sure you know what your investment temperament is, what your long-term goals are, and know all the mind games which you will play on yourself (not to mention the buttons the investment industry will try to push). Dan Ariely's courses and books can help a lot with understanding and minimizing irrational investment behavior.
>> academia may have worsened in the meantime

> This is, I believe, correct, and the problem.

I think it's a bit of the opposite: academia didn't get _that_ worse but entrepreneurship has gotten much much better. In reality it's probably a mix of both.

Surprisingly not much (if you mean the knowledge discovered after WW2). Scientific endeavors were financed differently during the Cold War, and the academia people were quite anti-militaristic usually, so they didn't get money to work on these sort of problems. It is only after 1990 the funding started to shift to the universities back again, somewhat.
It’s unfortunate that Tarsnap uses cryptography (and technology) developed 95% in academia that seems not appreciated by its author who seems focused on the rest of the 5%.

People in industry deliver a product and feel the impact. But sometimes they forget that there is several centuries of innovation in math and physics that has enabled that product.

On cryptography, you need people like DJB who invent algorithms, you need thousands of pages of crypto analysis to make sense of it, you need guarantees, you need to think of quantum computers 50 years in the future, etc etc. For instance, you need Salsa20 and those hash algorithms developed by others. These components each depend on other building blocks developed earlier. I encourage you to see the broader scientific and technological enterprise.

The vast majority of long term research takes place still in academia.

They are an alternative to chicken nuggets that could fill another day on the school lunch menu and also for parents whose kids would only eat bland brown things or who didn't want to cook. Almost no one really intentionally eats them.

People who wanted fish and wanted it simple would go with canned sardines, canned tuna, or canned salmon made into salmon patties. Those who wanted fresh fish and were willing to cook would just get fresh fish and cook it however they wanted.

How often do you see fish sticks on a gourmet restaurant's menu? If you ever see it on a restaurant's menu, it'd be in the "kid's meals" section of a cheaper restaurant, next to or in place of chicken nuggets. If people actually wanted them, it wouldn't just be tucked away there.

Sure, let's look at FB. AA corp bonds are around 2%, so let's use that for the discount rate and assume Fb maintains their 40% growth for 3 years then transitions to 10% for 7 years. Cash flows per share would be just under $50 during the growth period and just over $200 during the stability period.

Basically 10 years to break even with the current share price. Not very far out of line with historical PE ratios.

I was actually baffled by this move. Is Netflix going to war with FB and Google? I mean, Netflix itself collects a tonne of data... The film called out FB, Google and Twitter numerous times while Netflix was conveniently missed.

No it is fine sending a comment expressing opinion. There are so many qualitatives differences:

- This is human to human communication, not an optimised algorithm.

- People here are not sending you 10 comments and looking at the one which you engaged the most time, because they don't have the metrics. Social media knows how many seconds you looked at a post and classify it with AI, they can make a profile of your current sentiment.

- The poster probably didn't analyse your whole past discussion history with algorithms before answering in a way that would be best calibrated for your way of thinking.

Interactions, discussions between people, even conflictual (not violent), are fine. Communication is fine. Mass communication is mostly fine (traditional advertising, broadcast...). What's not fine is manipulating people by mass-communicating while adjusting the message given metadata that those people are not even aware about.

I would recommend changing your mind instead of your behavior. In particular, stop making your employer's problems your problems. You have enough to worry about. If your employer is keeping you cooped up in meetings all day, let them. That's their problem, not yours. If you want to be really generous, you could politely advise them that you could be more productive if you weren't in meetings all day. But that's sort of "management consulting" level advice, and there's a good chance you don't make "management consulting" money.

If the meetings themselves bother you, and not some imagined "lack of productivity" then start sabotaging your value in meetings. If you keep being useful, you will keep being invited. Only allow yourself to be perceived as "useful" doing the things you want to do.

Are you less able to tell what everyone else's performance looks like since you've all been physically isolated? I'm wondering whether it's recessionary pressure or whether they're exploiting the information asymmetry and implying everyone you're competing with is suddenly way more productive than they actually are.
We appreciate all your comments - Thank you!
Your argument of "we've overcome similar things before" was dealt with in the documentary: this is always adapting to hook you in better, it benefits from massive social pressure and it's fueled by billions of $. So actually we've never overcome anything like this before and no one had such power before to spread misinformation.

One could argue that there's plenty of other reliable news sources, but for many reasons the trust in official news sources is collapsing. One reason is that social media has flooded the world with so much content that it's hard to figure out what's factual and what not.
In a manner, yes. Flash programming and controller tuning is done on fully assembled USB drives.

I've re-programmed a handful of flash drives of my own to mark damaged cells and in some case restore a flash storage map to return the drive to life.

Transcend has a one-click utility which does everything automagically to restore malfunctioning drives to best possible condition.

Flash controllers are much more intelligent than they look. They're almost black-magic like.

I feel like much of your comment can be reduced to focusing on the underlying concepts instead of the various (perpetually outdated) APIs. An API is just a means to an end that could (and probably will) change tomorrow.

> HSV color?

Similarly, specific color spaces aren't what's important. RGB, sRGB, HSV, Display P3, they're all just implementation details. Color spaces as a concept are what's important. What problem do they solve? What are the tradeoffs being made between them? Why does gamma even exist in the first place? How does all this stuff relate to reasonably modern hardware that was actually manufactured within the past decade?

I do think there's a bit of a lose-lose situation here though. 3D math is hard and modern hardware is staggeringly complex but doing a competent job is probably going to require a decent understanding of such underlying details. Meanwhile, a university course that doesn't leave students proficient with the latest and greatest API is likely to be accused of failing to prepare them for the real world. APIs keep changing year after year though, inevitably rendering any such material outdated in short order.
