Respectfully, I disagree. The point you make about financial freedom, imho is an illusion. A few thoughts on your first point.

The NSF Career grant affords you the latitude to pursue your research interests, but those are inevitably aligned with the academic process as you are in pursuit of tenure. So you need to publish and you need to produce publishable work- very unlikely you will choose only high risk moonshot projects as your likelihood of receiving tenure is directly correlated to those publications. Furthermore, your statement that the NSF or the university is not an investor, is also flawed imo. The NSF specifically asks for impact as it ties the money it allots a research to economic impact to the US- as it should since it is tax payer money. I.e your investor is the US. A similar argument can be drawn to the university that provides you startup lab funds- their long term goal is to receive publications/ patents/ prestige they can the monetize against through either selling those ideas/ receiving royalties or donations go their foundations. As you become a more famous researcher you also attract more masters students who pay a good deal of money to go to school there. They are in fact your investor only expecting a different ROI...

As for companies- how much do you think an engineer or ml researcher costs per year to a company especially the caliber in a Phd lab? 500k expense is pretty small. your assumption that a company wont give you 500k to fo work is an illusion- they do it's just not hard cash, they spend on resources that you use. An average PhD level base salary at a Fang - 200+k plus bonus/ equity closing on over 300k?

So the real question is pick your poison.
I already do pretty much all of the above. I've played about 6-7 months now, arms warrior, so mainly single-target DPS. I have few AOE abilities. A lot of my abilities don't work if the target isn't directly in front of me, even abilities like Mortal Strike and Rend with can hit multiple targets. The big difference with ESO is that in ESO I rarely need to target an enemy. You pretty much only do it as a ranged DPS if you want to target a specific enemy in a mob.

WoW combat is a lot more tactical and complex. ESO is smoother and faster, but simpler (only 6 abilities per bar, 2 bars max)

I actually read most of this, but i think it only debunks a strawman.

From my reading of history, the typical pattern is:

- Some set of tribes exist on the fringe of civilization (if one already existed). They have access to the bare minimum resources for survival. These are not strong men, yet, but relatively weak savages, probably not even worth conquering by the civilization closeby. What they do have, is an every-day reminder to stay efficient in what they do, so they don't starve to death.
- After a while, one or a few of these tribes grow in competency and competitively useful cultural values. (Often, but not necessarily military.) They start trading with the nearby civilization, and learn from them, but maintain their focus on what is essential for survivial. Also, during this phase, this population is still facing survival pressures, often military ones. Gradually, these people become "strong", meaning they have competencies and a culture that makes it increasingly effortless to survive and prosper. Much of this comes from becoming cultured in ways that increase productivity or martial prowess.
- Only at this stage, when survival is no longer a concern (and especially if all competetion has been eliminated), does the weakening stage start. Gradually cultural values seep in that reduce productivity/efficiency of the population. Meanwhile, essential survival skills fade to the background and are forgotten. Still, during most of this phase, this more civilized population has economic advantages and perhaps access to specialists that allow them to fend off nearby populations, often for centuries.
- Eventually, though, some event (or series of events) occur that bring a shock to the sturcture of this civilization. Maybe a few bad harvests, maybe some barbarian invation, maybe a plague. At this point, the civilization has become brittle, and shatters easily.

I'm pretty sure I see this pattern repeat itself for the Greek, Roman, Muslim Caliphate, Ottoman and many Chinese civilizations. Then there are some cases that doesn't really go through all the stages. For instance, Mongols, Huns, Goths and some others spread themselves too thin to really build their own civilization, so they inherited whatever civilizations (including their corruption) they conquerd. Similarly, Europe form about 1000AD to the end of WW2 was always in a state of countries competing against each other, so they were constantly facing survival pressures that kept most of them from becoming _too_ corrupt.

Correct, hence the entire reason I suggested the qualifier of practical. Nuclear attacks are clearly impractical by any sane individual, but in terms of strength and damage, aside from some sort of biological weapon, I'm not sure what could have similar impact.

Because we're in a gigantic bubble where money is pouring so massively into so many startups that every metric is completely twisted/reversed, valuations are completely disconnected from reality, and the social validation they get from buzzwords on LinkedIn is more important than actual value delivered.

TLDR : madness
It’s misleading.

Imagine this same analogy for computer programs. Instead of genetic code, considers bits. Some author without understanding of how code works finds a small matching bit sequence in two different executables, then implies that the shared sequence is evidence of some conspiracy.

As a programmer you’d know that the bits of a program aren’t random because they actually do something specific for the programs execution, so it’s not surprising that different programs would share short bit sequences. But someone who doesn’t understand programming might assume it’s legitimate evidence of a conspiracy.

Same thing is happening here. Genetic code isn’t random because it corresponds to specific functions. It’s not surprising that different viruses would end up sharing bits of genetic sequence if they have similar functions.

The author is misusing statistics for random distributions on something that isn’t random. Don’t take them seriously.

Keep an eye on those bolts, they're right next to the shaft where shear forces are huge and from the looks of it they are only M6. You may want to use a harder grade to reduce the chances of them being sheared off.
There's a difference between political failures and military ones. Apples and oranges. No amount of military power can compensate for a lack of (or unachievable) political goals.

Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan all lacked coherent political goals. "Destroy military forces supported by half the country" is not a valid strategy.

Everyone who was abused by a superpower is nervous and would like the same help. What's the point in making that list to support your point if you're not going to paint the other half of the picture which is making the opposite point?

Cuba would have loved to not be cut off from the world for more than half a century for doing what the Ukraine was just enticed to do. Palestine could use some help in what has to be one of the most unbalanced displays of power in a conflict in recent memory. The Middle East or Western Asia would have looked decidedly different without the "explosive support system" they received over the decades. And the South China Sea countries could use a hand settling their territorial disputes.

If you can't see how Russia would like the West to stay away from their borders (Ukraine) just as much as the US wanted Russia to stay away from their borders (Cuba) then maybe it's a good moment to take a step back and look at this without thinking of the names. If you care more about allegiance then you can't care about objectivity or history.

Cuba became the enemy of the US the moment they showed any allegiance to Russia. Was there a doubt in anyone's mind that the exact same thing would happen again when the tables are turned? If you're not educated by mass-media then the outcome was obvious. And you are free to wonder why would anyone approach a an enemy superpower's neighbor for an alliance, knowing full well that probably without exception in the history of mankind this lead to war.

I am fairly certain the EU could live with Ukraine as a buffer zone if that means no conflict in Europe and not crippling them. There are forces far enough from Europe who have no such concern about poking a hornets' nest and sacrificing/destroying Ukraine in the process.
Lichess on chrome let's me use however many logical processors I have. For whatever reason I can only get a single thread on Firefox.

I'm not sure why either, because a while back I could use how ever many threads I wanted on Firefox.
something are so clearly obvious (I don't think "obvious" is the exact word I need) that to consider them property of the intellectual kind is silly.

I'm thinking about certain mathematically expressed concepts and ideas which are nonetheless patented and treated as property nowadays; I don't see why DNA would be any different.

It's silly for anybody to "own" (with the exclusivity, royalties deserving modern way it is being done) a gene sequence.

I think that whomever has it already owns it and these things can and in reality are non-exclusively owned. because what is next? "oh you have so and so patented genes hence you must pay the owners royalties?"

I like thinking about who really owns the English (or any natural) language to try and makes sense of how it ought to be....

then again who wouldn't like to come up with some idea and then keep getting paid for this until they die? this is similar to rent-seeking, it is rent-found.

First subheading of the study: "Thiomargarita magnifica is a centimeter-long, single bacterial cell". They apparently stick together, but do constitute individual organisms.
It's not a declared invasion. I've read headlines that said Russia had "declared war"; in the body of the article, it turns out that Russia has sent a "peacekeeping force" into Donbas. There's been no declaration of war. Russia has responded to requests for help from the rebel leaders in Donetsk and Luhansk.

I mean, there is a war; Russia has been bombing and rocketing Ukrainian military installations all over the country. But it's not a declared war.
So now we are back to the idea that this coming from a lab is dangerous idea that shouldn't be talked abbout?

It was something to consider last summer but now it is a dangerous idea again.

We have become such a total joke intellectually.
My great grandfather was from outside L'viv, and almost as a little irony he is polish (and Poland was controlling l'viv at that time).

Not to make light of the situation, but the fact that you refer to l'viv as Ukraine (yes, I know we all agree it is) is a miniature proof that things do change and the way we look at things can be modified.
The US has been in perpetual shooting wars for over 20 years.

If wars _prevented_ extremism you’d think we’d have evidence of it by now.

Also I wonder what happened after “The Great War”? Did extremism decline then?
Article doesn't really answer the question. Why would I want to use the ZFS "sharenfs" feature instead of normal exports? NFS seems orthogonal to a disk-based file system's setup, and now I have to worry about configuration in two places. Is there some advantage in speed or security?

1. Email on your own domain. You can still use Google (or any other service) for this, but having your own domain means you're not dead in the water if your provider decides they don't like you.

2. For accounts on large websites (big targets) use a unique email address that is only used on that website. Obviously passwords should never be reused, which leads to:

3. Password manager. Just do it.

4. Use the highest security options available at each website. If it's just 2FA, do it. Yubikey is great if they offer it.

I'm not sure any of this really addresses the question - which is how do people really use files.

IME I have a number of live projects which can contain various numbers of source files, images, web links, PDFs and other documents, text files, and so on.

Then there are a number of files I access regularly which may not be associated with a project (like favourite music).

Then there's a mountain of data which is just there in case I ever need it. It includes backups of old projects, documents, music and art I keep because I think it's interesting but haven't read yet, web links that are filed and then (sadly...) forgotten, and so on.

I don't know how typical this is, and it doesn't matter. Because neither a tag based nor a tree based system address the real issue - which is designing a custom file workflow that collects related references of all kinds, doesn't confuse working data with long-term storage, allows off-site backups, allows collaboration, supports versioning on demand, and also makes it easy to find things.

I suppose all of that means some kind of process API which does a lot more than file.open() and file.close().

It could be built on tags, it could be built on trees, it could be built on some combination. Or on something else entirely.

The implementation matters a lot less than a set of available features which streamline common tasks in some fairly standardised and effective way.
I agree it's possible, but do you know people working on such participative federated feeds/indexes?
We are dealing with "insane" people. If he is willing to use nukes over Ukraine, I can guarantee he does not plan just taking Ukraine. When should we react? Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Austria, Germany?
I don't think it's coming back. The big players who started with Ruby during the peak of its 2008~ hype curve are having serious scaling pains and are looking to other more performant languages as a way out. Engineers at these companies are going to be taking these lessons elsewhere.

This isnt even mentioning the compelling environmental arguments against a computationally taxing dynamic language like Ruby, which is going to be louder in the next few years.

You can have many copies of your password manager database in many places, but you have only one Google. If you lose one thing, what would you rather lose? If you lose a password database, restore a backup. If you lose access to Google, what then? You can't restore a backup of Google. Stick around HN long enough, and within a week, you'll read stories of people losing access to their Google accounts for unexplained reasons (aside from a robot not liking them).
That's fine, the only question is why use 2FA at all?

What's the attack vector you are protecting against that a good, non-reused password is not covering?

I'm not saying research into fusion should be stopped. But I also don't think it's important to increase spending into fusion power, as the comment that I was replying to suggested. Even more so, i don't think we should be blocking investment into fission power on expectations that fusion power will make it deprecated in 10 years.

It's good to have fusion power in our back pockets, but we shouldn't be relying on it for our energy plans quite yet.
You have actual risks for food, fuel and the based on them products. Also, during the covid crisis, the central bank were trowing money like an russian oligarch in a nightclub while FED and likely ECB will raise the base interests to contain the inflation.

Every family having a nice house is one of the things that make a neighborhood great. Walking to a dozen restaurants is another such thing. We can continue making this list until it has several thousand items (maybe even millions?). In the end you cannot have everything on the list, so you compromise.

I did not say people are stupid. More like people are creatures of habit and often fail to realize how a change they could make would cascade into making things better. That is they are more likely to be pessimistic and see the downsides.

People know what they want when given the existing choices. Frankly the existing choices for dense city living suck for most people (bad schools and they can't afford as much space are big ones), so it is no surprise that people choose suburbs: it is the best choice. The real question is can we reform the dense urban areas so that people will decide they want it over suburbs?

There is precedence for cells being that large. I can't remember the organism name, but there is actually some macroscopic single cell organism. It cheats by having multiple nuclei, among other things.

Ukraine will most likely get steam rolled. They don't have the numbers on their side. However, the west is not going to get directly involved. No one wants this to escalate and risk destabilizing Europe over Ukraine. They'll provide Ukraine with material and diplomatic support. That's about it. Western Europe (or the U.S) isn't going to get into a shooting war with Russia over Ukraine.

I see a lot of React hate which I can understand, but don't forget that React allows you to release faster as a big company.

React is a defacto standard that product people know and understand. They can ship complicated features faster across platforms (for example React Native), while the more technical engineers get to solve these more generic problems (dependency hells, integrations, CI/CD, performance).

Alternative solutions would potentially require more technical engineers to build features and thus slow down product development for a big company.
