As a practical matter, consumer routers can't be self-hosting. They don't have the processing power, memory, and storage necessary, and none of the router vendors can be trusted to not have some kind of embedded rootkit that circumvents all of that.

It depends on how you measure "good". :/

Most people measure goodness and badness by how they feel about it, and for anyone who feels a significant amount of badness (grief, anger, whatever) at the death of a single person, it is physiologically impossible for them to feel a million times worse about the death of a million people. It's intuitively obvious to most people, therefore, that suffering, annoyance, life-saving, and so on, are not additive: they just have to check how they feel about the situation to know that.

In order to suggest that they are additive, and that N "people annoyed" can outweigh M "people suffering", you have to first convince someone that how their own internal measurement of goodness (how they feel about it) is not as accurate as some external measurement.
>"In a sense they're giving up $60 of enjoyment to get a couple of dollars of cash."

You could also make the argument that the villagers have the opportunity to have $60 of enjoyment at a bargain price, whereas the San Francisco yuppies must pay a high price.
If you're being paid for labor to extract a resource, your wage is much more closely tied to difficulty and volume than sale value.
>They don't have the processing power, memory, and storage necessary

This is in my opinion, a sign of bloat. They darn-well do have the processing power to build their own images! Its just 'not desirable to use a slow computer to do it' ..

Well, where the build is slow: refactor until its fast.

> It's far better to work on having a deterministic verifiable cross-compiling build system and continue to flash the firmware over JTAG.

The new open networks will require a lot more crypto. I'd prefer to run an open network where signed binaries and such things are just part of the norm. But then, this is all just hot-air .. time better spent actually working on the problem of so much hardware, so little actually safe source code to run on it.

Long time ago (~7 years ago, while at high-school), I have used pm-wiki[1] for a small lab-team (~10 ish people) to collaborate on our research projects :-) We eventually moved to tarballs and emails, but wiki was really easy to setup, had a lot of plugins and didn't require a database (all data are plaintext). Maybe it would suit you.

Thanks for the comment – my partners and I could not agree more and that's one of our goals with Medko. Patients that would like to go abroad can use our search to find English speaking doctors in LatAm. They can also send them a message to ask about what services the specialists offers for international patients. In the near future, we plan on having specific sections of the site dedicated to U.S. patients, inlcuding all the info they need regarding doctor selection, travel tips, insurance information, and more. Medko doctors can be a fantastic solution for patients that can't afford a procedure in the US and that is something that motivates our entire team.

I think it's easier to see the relations once you substitute everything in. I combined the perception terms instead of cancelling since presumably they're different, but here you go:

Happiness = Perception * (1 / Happiness) * Skill * Circumstance / Others' Actual Life
Happiness^2 = Perception * Skill * Circumstance / Others' Actual Life
Happiness = +-sqrt(Perception * Skill * Circumstance / Others' Actual Life)

I'm not certain about the negative root there; maybe that's depression? Otherwise, looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Square_root_0_25.svg, it seems reasonable; improving one of perception/skill/circumstance if it's near-zero will improve your happiness drastically, but it's a relatively slow-growing function so improving happiness after that has diminishing returns.

Also, as you mention we never defined the terms. I believe all of these are generally measured on self-administered surveys with "rate X" scales, and so are just percentages with no units.

Finally, the terms don't have any obvious correlations with the post, so I just stuck in the things that were mentioned that seemed relevant:

* Happiness - see eqn., you can't affect this directly

* Skill - conscientiousness, self-esteem, optimism, feelings of purpose and fulfillment

* Others' Actual Life - income and wealth

* Circumstance - genes (health?), extroversion, "flow"

* Perception - paying attention to your situation/actions/feelings and in particular adjusting your estimates of success/failure chance to match reality (humans deal very badly with probabilities) - includes "agreeableness" (understanding of others), "memory" (perceptions of self being happy), and "mindfulness" (perceptions of world)
These UEFI firmware bugs are completely avoided by choosing an interface with a smaller footprint. As in: not much of an interface at all. This is what makes ChromeOS work while UEFI still fails at times.

No moving parts means no worries - that's a lesson the UEFI architects never understood.

So they built that living hell of runtime composable components for something that generally tries to get out of the way in as few milliseconds as possible. Some of these components survive long into the operating system's domain, messing things up there. The architecture doesn't allow for build time controls (eg. why did boot services used by runtime services, a common bug a couple of years ago, not trip up a linker? because they incapacitated the linker through this design).

And best of all, thanks to Intel relentlessly pushing that crap into the market, we'll get to "enjoy" it for the next three decades or so.

Apart from being able to check the "Windows" checkbox on marketing material, I actively avoid UEFI because of this horrid imitation of software design.

UEFI is that bad.
The value of that lobster dinner is $60 to someone in SF. If the locals choose to sell them for the few dollars they get for them, either: 1) the locals are irrational; 2) or the value of the dinner to them is less than a few dollars.

In neoclassical economics, we assume rational actors. So it must be 2. But why would a Bengali villager get much less utility out of a lobster dinner than a San Francisco yuppie? Sesfood is a staple in Bangladesh, and lobster is a delicacy. [1] The answer is because they're poor: measured by the market, they, ostensibly, ascribe less value to everything than the San Francisco yuppie.

That's an interesting result. The San Francisco yuppie derives far more utility from that lobster than the Bengali villager does. Why? Because he's richer. By the measure of the market, the rich derive far more utility from everything, and the market allocates scarce resources to those who value them the most.

[1] This is not an example out of an economics textbook, where country A sells something it doesn't value to country B who does value it.

"Today’s big data is noisy, unstructured, and dynamic rather than static."

As was yesterday's big data. I've been reading through the literature from the 1960s and 1970s, and it complains almost exactly the same issues. Including coming up with new mathematical techniques.

Actually, "10 million words recorded during just under 200,000 trials" was completely within the techniques of the 1960s, which was a combination of human curation and computer data management. See for example the work at Chemical Abstracts and ISI in handling chemical publication data. I happen to know that the ISI organization in turn was based on citation techniques first developed in the late 1800s for tracking legal judgements - which is the topic discussed here.
Two reasons:

1. Because devices are doing new things and often by companies without strong software cultures that build in update mechanisms and look after old devices, so they are not updated as well as major platforms.

2. For some devices, you can't simply isolate them as full guests, because existing protocols from your phone allow LAN-to-LAN discovery and control, so special NAT-style routing into the DMZ would be ideal.
The Problem with Founders
> we should eat local.

What I found interesting was that the economics are affected by both spatial and temporal locality. The part about holding tanks that could keep lobsters alive for months to sell them out of season when prices were higher is a good reminder that eating seasonally can be as import for affordability as eating locally.

Would there then be a market for canned/frozen/otherwise preserved lobster? So one could set up a factory right on the shore, buy lobster at 2-4$/pound, then immediately cook it and have it ready to ship in inexpensive ways?

I think they have taken this idea of being logical and internalized it as a status symbol.

The use of the word "rational" apparently only applies to them so by criticizing LW, I assume that makes you irrational.

Is it useful for every human to overcome the biases on their list? Or are these just criticisms that one group can use to distinguish themselves from other people? [1] I don't even believe all of these biases exist but instead could be attributed to a discrepancy in definitions and usage of language in a formal and colloquial sense. Further, although possibly mentioned elsewhere, I think it is possible to suffer from a "cognitive bias" cognitive bias where belief about overcoming cognitive bias causes a new cognitive bias.

Check out this link [2], I think Harry Potter is associated with Eliezer himself.

In short, I don't think a bunch of people who claim to be rational are completely ego free.

I would say that this is true for unstructured data that does not have availability of experts who participated in the creation of that data.

I noticed that by talking with the domain experts, for example radiologists that read head MRIs, you can greatly simplify the problem. It usually comes at the cost of experts annotating the data, which might be too expensive for some businesses. But then, I think, the data is analyzed just by scholars until they built-in the expert knowledge into their algorithms.

That's at least the pattern in healthcare data. The first one to notice a paper or source code like that dominates the market - this is just my conjecture.

I find this totally infuriating. Yes, Uber offers a valuable service that I wish more localities would accommodate. But we are bound even by laws that we think are stupid, and Uber shouldn't be allowed to operate in flagrant violation of local laws simply because they have enough money to pay the fines they rack up. And this is to say nothing of the fact that Charleston may well have legitimate policy reasons for wanting to regulate taxi drivers, reasons that Uber is now actively undermining.

If I were Charleston, my next order of business would be to enact an ordinance providing for exponentially increasing fines for businesses that materially encourage the violation of local laws.

It sounds like you are trying to deflect the fault away from TrueCrypt.I looked at the link you provided and i opened a TrueCrypt volume with this command:

[root@mtz zc]# truecrypt ./rrr.img ../ink -p xxx

[root@mtz zc]#

So i opened it from the command line,i looked at the mounted volume and it was also mounted without "nosuid" option and hence the same problematic behavior is there even when TrueCrypt is used from the terminal.

Even when using the CLI component,TrueCrypt automatically does the mounting and hence its TrueCrypt's fault.

The mounting part is not done by a third party script that just happen to be bundled with TrueCrypt,it is done as a core part of TrueCrypt.The "mount" command is set here[1] and executed here[2]. You can walk up the code path to see where the "nosuid" options should have been set but isnt.

If you don't score yourself by how much better you're doing than peers (or yourself yesterday), it shouldn't be too hard to be content+optimistic, provided you're lucky enough to be healthy + intelligent + free of bad relationships.

What seems natural for most of us, though, is to become desensitized to what's good and feel only about the surprises, which eventually end up negative (mean-reversion and things over-enthusiastically taken for granted - I'll always win, they'll always love me, etc.)

I think knowing that helps a little. Just like it helps knowing that your blue mood when you're sick will pass on its own as you recover.

Some people are naturally more or less happy, I'm sure, in their baseline no-surprise state. I wouldn't worry about it until someone figures out how to change it. As long as you have energy to want+do things, you're ok.
How so? It seems to me that the City of Charleston is perfectly within its rights to impose a licensing requirement on taxi drivers as a way of ensuring that drivers, among other things, have the proper insurance. And it shouldn't be expected to simply waive this requirement because Uber is a big company that that says it offers insurance coverage for its drivers. Maybe Charleston would like to make Uber and its drivers demonstrate that they actually have that insurance, in a particular way and to a particular level of proof. Or maybe Charleston requires more or different insurance than Uber provides.

I don't doubt that there is an element of protectionism here as well. But that doesn't mean that there isn't also a public safety issue, or, regardless, that Uber is free to flout local law so long as it can pay the fines.
What's needed isn't just a smaller monitor, but an interface appropriate for this form factor.

Limiting the fraction of bandwidth used is a much harder problem than it sounds like, thanks to torrents. When you join the torrent you're inviting lots of UDP traffic to you. You can keep it from getting to the endpoint by traffic shaping, but that won't help if your uplink gets saturated by all of the incoming requests.

Your typical asymmetric DSL is therefore very hard to safely share. You can try to block torrents, but there's no truly reliable way of doing so that doesn't involve blocking all encrypted traffic.
My personal guess that it's the combination of at least the three points you mentioned. Discovery via grapevine, combined with the ability to move the purchase between devices - regardless of vendor.

It is possible that a "once burnt, twice shy" effect is amplified by the 3/11 rule. It takes one bad experience with DRM'd goods for a person to realise that something is wrong, and once they learn that DRM was the reason for their problem they will broadcast their discovery about the anti end-user experience.

And as any news reporter knows, bad news travel fast.

This is beautiful, I had to pause it a couple of times to check out the intense detail in the city render.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how they generate the cityscape for these things? Do they use existing software like CityEngine (http://www.esri.com/software/cityengine) or just procedurally generate their own?

I'm guessing the latter in this case, because the buildings seem to idiosyncratic (main typology being pods on stalks) to be produced in dedicated urban modelling software.
I poked around the code and found this:

var C = [
[[1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9],[10],[11]],
[[1 , 2],[3 , 4],[5 , 6],[7 , 8],[9 , 10 , 11]],
[[1 , 2 , 3 , 4],[5 , 6 , 7 , 8],[9 , 10 , 11]],
[[1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8],[9 , 10 , 11]]
];

That's the list of models in various combinations.
C0 means C[0]. If you are consistent with a single model in your answers on more than 80% of the test then you are C[0]. If, say, you split between model 1 and 2 and in total they were 80% of your answers, then you'd be C[1]. If you were split between 2 and 3 then you'd be C[2], since that's the first time those are grouped together.

The test doesn't alert() you to what model you are. You have to set a breakpoint and poke around the code. When I took it I was consistent across all 12 questions with model 2.

You can see the what model each answer corresponds to here: http://vanisoft.pl/~lopuszanski/public/canihascs/questions.j...
