Really? It feels fairly well directed to me. The 'no internet' guy (who's name I've made a point to forget) was really egotistical about it. He even started an IAmA thread on reddit about it (link: http://www.reddit.com/r/tabled/comments/t14p6/table_iama_tec...).
I wouldn't worry about the extraction platforms. Refineries, maybe, but they're all equipped with on-site backups and the technology is pretty much mechanical, except for some electronic components that are non-essential.

Diesel engines and most electronics on ships will also be unaffected, since the ships are grounded by water and those engines are pretty much mechanical monsters - the supply of fuel will most likely go uninterrupted (heck, I'd worry more about governments and criminals using the opportunity to start something)...

The distinction, as I understand it, is the "voice" the app uses. Chill said something like "Hey I just joined Chill and it's pretty cool, you should check it out!" First person. Socialcam says "John Doe has watched Rick Roll Video." Third person.
But we have all the blueprints and know how - we don't have to build everything from scratch (most of the time is spent on R&D, building the stuff is actually the easy part). Organize the military and the civilians to start rebuilding everything and we're back on track in several months for sure (except for the satellites, maybe)...

A bit over the top. I have hope that his being away from the internet will force him to report of the personalities of tech by talking face to face or over the phone. I think in depth personal stories and interviews of tech founders/engineers/designers etc. are fascinating. It's a great opportunity for The Verge to set itself miles apart from the competition.
Yeah, that is a very good point. I guess I just wanted to see this conversation die along with the original article. Because the 'no internet' guy was no doubt just doing that as link bait. Now this will be the top post tomorrow and it will have added nothing of real value.
This is as good a place and thread as any to write out some questions that have been bothering me. Maybe HN can help out.

I've seen over the past several years several such posts (leaving facebook, leaving the internet, etc.) and they have a very raw emotional appeal to me. Some sort of a fast or a ritual quality to the entire idea.

Do others here constantly wonder about their internet habits? I may be generalizing, but being uncomfortable or suspicious of gradual habits we develop, does that show characteristics of "getting old" and "conservative"? The get-off-my-lawn type of mentality?

The same argument extends to smartphones, and "new fangled" tools such as twitter/foursquare/etc. Do others also perceive some tension in embracing a new lifestyle.

Or am I overthinking it, and it is just a general equilibrium-maintaining feedback mechanism we develop through life. Because, with the internet (especially reddit and HN) and ubiquitous access to email/information through the smartphone I find myself, for the first time, cautious about embracing new technologies in a way I never felt before (not even when I got my first computer, or the first time I had cable TV ... of course, I was a kid back then).

There is nothing that exists in Isolation today. Everything thing depends on each other. That's the most beautiful and the scariest part.

When these sort of scenarios are discussed, we take into account only the first impacted entity. We don't analyze the things that get impacted because of the first entity and things that depend on each other. There are going to chained failures of systems. Each depending on other to recover. While none can at the moment.

When you see the whole equation in the entirety you will realize a single massive failure in one entity can send you back centuries.

ok, that raises an interesting question: what is the most ink-economic printing encoding for digital data?

For example, I want to print a PNG file, instead of printing out the picture, I want to preserve its original files hex codes, instead of printing some SVG curves, I would print its XML source instead. Instead of printing formulas, I would print the LaTex source code directly. This could be lossless data printing.

What would be the most effeciant, ink-saving, and easy to recognize, and error-preventing serialization format for printing?

I thought Google did away with the Translate API. Are you sneaking around this by loading it in a background page and simulating user interaction?
I'm learning A1 level French now and thought I would give this one a try. Put it on "novice" mode hoping to improve my vocabulary. The problem with it is that rather than translating nouns it ends up translating verbs. This is not really a good practice. For eg. "we will" gets translated to "nous allons". However, it's more important in this case to understand the verb conjugations of "aller"(to go) and how it is used in the future tense. Knowing that "we will" can be translated as "nous allons" is not useful - without the context.

One thing my French teacher keeps telling us is to not use a dictionary. Why is that? Because then everytime I try to speak/write in French I end up constructing the sentence in English and then translating it. This is a bad way of using a language. If I were to learn a language from scratch and independently, I can use it much better. Even though I'm not a native English speaker I'm able to think, write and speak in English without too much effort because inside my head I don't translate it from my mother tongue.

Putting the level of the extension on "fluent" seems to be useful. This translates entire sentences and thus gives me context. Even for an A1 level guy like me (novice) it's only useful on the "fluent" mode.
But what about all the Ruby on Rails brogrammers?

Firstly a lot of information today is on hard drives.

We are talking of a massive solar flare. Electronic equipment down, hard disks fried, access to energy limited, communication equipment down. Information in books is safe, but how much of modern information today is in printed books?

If you look at the whole equation. There are going to chained failures of systems. Each depending on other to recover. While none can at the moment.

A scary situation though.

From my totally unqualified understanding of marketing, it's because it makes people go "oooOOh" and statistically more likely to buy or even notice the product, because they associate it somehow with fast cars and filthy sex. This makes the "random and without value" renames vaguely sensible in a for-profit corporation: it drives the bottom line. But hey what do I know, I'm a nerd and have barely sold a thing my entire life.

Quitting the devil's advocate role and in support of your position, if nerds had their way, the entirety of marketing and design would be annexed in favour of technically aesthetic solutions (functional product names, stable UIs, uniform web designs, ...), but sadly when speaking of the masses, buying choices are simply not driven by rationality. My ideal world will probably never come, at least in this lifetime.

Big Data won't be as effective as we all expect
> Yes Skype was never exactly mil-spec but was generally regarded as safer than email or regular phones as far as routine interception was concerned.

And wrongly so. You still logged in through Skype servers (username/password is centrally managed) who would direct you to a supernode near you, and could equally direct you to an intercepting supernode.

You have just made the fallacious argument of security through obscurity.

> Once the end points of a call had been discovered the voice traffic was direct caller-caller.

Do you know that, or just assume that? Do you know that this hasn't changed with different versions?

> Assuming that Skype hasn't been a front for the illuminati all along,

Blackberry insisted that they can't decrypt end-user communication ... right until the Indian government threatened to make it illegal to use Blackberry in India, and magically it became possible to eavesdrop on BB comm.

Corrupt governments are enough, don't need to invoke the illuminati.

> then the big change of having all the supernodes under one roof is that all the call endpoints can be routinely monitored and so if there was a future requirement to tap all the voice data it would be easier to pick which links to monitor.

It's not any different. The voice links were (mostly) P2P, and I guess they still are. The supernodes (discovery/comm links) were centrally managed, and still are. The only difference is now they are both centrally managed and centrally owned - that's a very little difference.

Take this quote from the original article for instance, "I’m also interested in a sans-internet reality as a technology writer. There was a time when technological innovation didn’t seem intimately linked to the internet." There was a time when using roads wasn’t linked to driving in a car, but there’s not much point in going back to that time.

While I only have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and there are others who can speak to this topic in a lot more detail, I feel it allows me to say with confidence that the main concern is that the potential threat of limited time in our hectic lives being seeped from us by the internet (and technology in general) comes with the responsibility to use self control more than ever. Walking away from the internet for a year doesn't solve issues with self control and in a world so tightly integrated to the "new fangled" technological tools we use each day to make our lives easier, it's our responsibility to manage that, not walk away from it. To each their own and in the end, this was broadcast partially for page views, but embracing changing lifestyles and new technologies comes with personal responsibility. We all assess and compare ourselves with others to make sure we don't get carried away, but that doesn't mean we should walk away from something. I really should formulate my thoughts and feelings on this better before replying, but it's how I view the situation.

You completely and utterly missed the point, in addition to just being needlessly rude.

The point of your parent was "don't let the experts think for you", not "screw the experts" -
that's a very important distinction. You should form your own opinions, not just uncritically
adopt the opinion of some expert. It's unquestionable that expert knowledge and experience is
important - but nothing beats forming your own (hopefully informed) opinion.

As a college student, I can identify. I don't use foursquare or twitter even though my generation tends to, because I feel as though they're not necessary.

I think maybe part of this is the community (HN/the startup world) you're a part of. Speaking for myself, I love the ideas that people present here, but often it feels like each website is just another toy. I see no reason to commit to them.

I've always been something of a minimalist though, so maybe it is just me.
I'm honestly surprised it took this long.
If you've ever had to go back to your CSS and redo the colors (client wanted red instead of blue) then you'll find yourself thinking "I wish I could just store these redundant values in one place". At that point you'll start looking at css preprocessors. A simple find/replace doesn't always cut it (I want these things red, keep these other things blue), especially if your design also has derivative values (used in gradients, shadows).

Personally, while I do try to take advantage of all the features of LESS, I think the biggest thing is the ability to define macros (utilizing mixins or functions). Never again do I need to write multiple rules for one style (-moz-foo, -webkit-foo, and foo) or need to remember the complicated argument order (defining gradients is vastly different between all of them).

The cost is in introducing a compile step, but the benefit is that your stylesheet becomes easy to write, easy to read, easy to modify.

Ah, because it spreads them out for you over time... Hadn't thought of that. The Twitter API does return which app a tweet was posted from, so it would be very simple to rig up a checkbox to filter out tweets from Buffer or Hootsuite if a user wants to. :)
Cache wasn't mentioned in the question... there might be no cache at all. ;-)

Cache oblivious B-trees aren't exactly oblivious to how DRAM behaves, and sometimes their operation actually can be counter to what works best in DRAM (though I agree that generally they tend to do better than data structures that are "oblivious" in a very different sense).

But let's ignore that for a moment. Okay, you aren't using BerkeleyDB, MySQL, or any other of the common B-trees out there, but instead you've got your hands on a cache oblivious b-tree. What is the approximate optimal fanout rate and what is the approximate number of reads per second you can achieve with the 7-7-7-23 DDR3 memory (or memory of your choice that is commonly found in modern systems)?

The question isn't really about knowing the specifics of a particular memory infrastructure. It's about understanding the cost of going to memory, which is increasingly as important as understanding disk latency (you know how "disk is the new tape"? well, RAM is the new "disk").

Interestingly, a lot of databases these days are CPU bound , particularly when working with big data, but even in other cases. They aren't really CPU bound, it just looks like that because of how accounting is done. When you poke under the covers, you see the CPU pipelines are comparatively idle because the CPU's are all tied up accessing memory.

Particularly if you are using AWS or other virtualization services, most web applications these days rely on servicing a majority of their requests entirely from memory. Being able to understand the performance characteristics of memory at least within an order of magnitude becomes increasingly important, because the average rate that you can service from memory becomes a critical metric for the scaling of your services.

It's more than even that though. As concurrency becomes increasingly important, locks and atomics become central to a lot of work. The last few iterations of Moore's law have changed the principles of how locks & CAS impact performance. It used to be that locks were bad, because you often burned up CPU going down to the kernel, but more than that because suddenly you are wasting CPU while you wait for something else to complete. CAS allowed you to largely sidestep all that CPU wasting and you're a happy man. Then CAS got integrated in to locks so that locks only really sucked when you had contention, but now... The real expensive cost of a lock these days is the memory fence put around it. CAS is better because the fence is scoped to only the object being swapped, but even that can be horribly expensive if there is contention on the object. Having a clear understanding of just how big that cost is relative to burning some more CPU, wasting some RAM, or even changing the constraints for your code, can be very important.

Trust me. This stuff really matters for any context where performance matters, and it is only going to get more important in the coming years. Memory has pretty much already trumped CPU in terms of its importance for most applications, and the number of cases for which it is more important than disk is growing at a rapid rate.

I'm giving up on giving a fuck for a year!

Stay trendy my friends.

(I actually started this one quite a few years ago and it's still going strong. Allow oneself to think on it's own a little more easily!)
At some point in life (I really should write "At some points in every year") I/We feel the need to weed things out. There is a mental weight associated to all these things surrounding us and there is the whole "identity-through-activities-and-possessions" question that pops up every now and then.

As a matter of fact I decided this morning to stop having so much arch/debian/ubuntu/xp/7 installations on all of my computers. It was a mental weight to drag along (that and the loss of two extended partitions holding all of this sutff because I decided to create an new ntfs partition in an empty space, I disgress).

I believe this equilibrium you speak of is personnal. I sometimes ask myself if I am getting old because I don't want to buy "apps" and rather rely on the old paradigm "everything is a file and applications are juste file managing other files" and dislike the facebook timeline and twitter noise but then I remind myself that I am one of the few among my friends who don't think the new crop of teenagers and child cartoons are as doomed and rotten as they think they are (though I really don't like the current european teenage fashion guidelines).

I believe you are spot-on with the notion of "ritualistic fast". Most religions I know put some accents on fasting for the mind at regular intervals.

There are differences between technologies and adopting each of them without considering them for what they are isn't being old, it's being curious (or something like that). Let's be curious, not trendy.
