Shubham, I went through your blog and I'm impressed! It looks like you're a person with wide ranging interests. You seem proficient in combining concepts from core mathematics, computer science, practical software engineering and electronics, which in my opinion, is something only few engineers can do and fewer still actually do.

Use your creative energies, polymath skills, urge for perfection and your time, to build your own software ideas and perhaps make a business out of them.

Don't waste them on your employer's products or your fellow employees. If they like bad code, then let them. You too can lower your standards of perfection, and raise your level of tolerance. Empathize that perhaps their job is as soul crushing for them as yours is for you.
Your expectation of perfection in others is the bigger enemy you have to conquer. Expect perfection from yourself, but forget about others. Good luck (from a fellow freelancer!)
What could go wrong? We don't really know until someone tries it and their site has a significant audience.

True, but they are unviable for most startups.

You wrote a comment refuting the article's headline before looking at the article itself?
Paleolithic culture is a genuinely mixed bag. Not as bad as almost everyone thinks, but worse than the rest think. I would put 1850 as my over-under for the year that neolithic culture provided an improvement in average quality of life. The problem with being a foraging people is that farming peoples can push you off the nicer land, as the article corroborates. Over millenia, foraging probably got to be a worse deal.

It is far from clear, though, that living as a hunter gatherer isn't fun. Reports from the 18th and 19th centuries mention the scandal that when white farmers were captured by indigenous tribes, they hardly ever wanted to go back. Foraging beat farming in terms of qalys, it seemed.

You are right on with that, there are still so many. I work in b2b and meet with a lot of business owners and office managers. So many small to medium sized business are dependent (and happy with) on their desktop software systems. iPads are great as nodes in some software cases, but essentially any industry where mass input is required I really don't see desktop / laptops going anywhere.
Aspirin has anti-inflammatory properties. Could it be that some cancers are a consequence of a long-term, low-grade inflammation (possibly, a consequence of infection with some kind of unknown virus)?

Is low-grade inflammation detectable by blood tests?
In theory the rule is that you're supposed to refer to people by what name they prefer (e.g. "Little people").

Here's what Wikipedia says:

* The terms used to refer to Native Americans have been controversial. According to a 1995 U.S. Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the respondents with an expressed preference refer to themselves as "American Indians" or simply "Indians"; this term has been adopted by major newspapers and some academic groups

It is rare to be able to pinpoint a experience as a life-altering event in one's life. It is even more unique when one can trace the experience to the work of one individual.

Dr. Shulgin's work directly and positively effected profound change in many lives. He was a uniquely talented chemist and thinker, and his genius will be sorely missed.

Anything consumer focused installed after a plane leaves the factory is subject to much less stringent checks.

Anything Boeing puts on a plane as stock has to pass review by the appropriate agency of all countries the plane will be sold to.

I remember one poor guy, his job was to try and negotiate the necessary agreements for in flight phone calls for every country the 787 would be flying over for the routes of its initial sales.

As I recall, he got damned close! It had to be scrapped when some countries wouldn't allow it.

Individual carriers can easily enough add it to only flights over countries that they can meet proper regulations for. Much less of a hassle!
Anyone have a link to a overview type blog post of the changes? This is a tad foreign for a guy like me who has little experience of this layer of the OSI model.

"Bitcoin painful to sell" and "tulipmania" are completely nonsensical talking points of the anti-bitcoin trolls who haven't actually tried it and are butthurt they didn't get into it.

I've bought and sold more than $100k worth of bitcoin on two different exchanges, and at no point was it painful. It's infinitely easier than buying $100k worth of foreign currency, not to mention it's illegal to carry that much cash in most states.

In my opinion Apple will never let a third party develop something like Zip Phone (for android) that has the ability to automatically route phone calls away from the cellular network. Not just because of their carrier relationships, but also because it goes against their philosophy of tightly controlling all aspects of the user experience.
Yes! I hope we'll have a engineering blog post covering our metrics pipeline soon.

No they are not dangerous. Pathogens are adapted to living in nutrient rich environments (i.e. our bodies) where their problem is avoiding our immune system. The bacteria that can grow in MilliQ water are those adapted to living in low nutrient environments and these bacteria are always harmless - except that is to your experiments :)
Like it or loathe it, MSFT has always been a learning corporation.

thanks for this. this is great, but could you build a more sophisticated example with port mapping, volume bind mapping and passing of variables to containers?

787s have some really cool self monitoring abilities. Every part on them is wired up with every type of sensor you can imagine. This allows the plane to track its health at all times. The coolest feature we saw a demo of (I have no idea if it shipped!) was the plane radioing ahead to the airport it was headed to with a maintenance request form auto filled out! Personnel at the airport would be informed and have the relevant maintenance manuals automatically downloaded to their laptop.

This actually removed a lot of down time for the plane, as typically workers would have to manually inspect many of these parts on a regular basis to check wear levels.

Seriously cool stuff!
Seems like Uber will eventually converge on a model of privately-owned publicly-accessible mass transportation.
correct me if I'm wrong but the oil analogy breaks down when you look at the fact that there is nothing special about ethereum. it was conjured from thin air and can be conjured even more easily the second time. oil runs out and its not easy to make more.

ethereum running out? no worries! just create a new currency ethereum2, issue 100billion and use the blockchain to power more apps.

In fact you could just have several ethereum clones going at once.
How would you arrange a copyright system that would not be discriminatory? For example, if you allow copyrights to be passed on to kin or other beneficiaries after death, you discriminate against people with no family or close friends. If you only let copyrights last a year, you discriminate against people who have less than a year to live, as well as young people who would prefer to have the monopoly for much longer.

How are they raising the funds? Can others do it?
They do, but with such old generics, the profit per unit would really be peanuts compared to newer fad'ish drugs, regardless of whether they are more effective than their older kin. Dont have the numbers but I would guess the market price of generic aspirin would have reached the zone shade above its marginal cost by now. A company would spend only so much effort here. The effect is more pronounced for poor man's diseases and health care issues.
For some stuff that did have data sharing there was a very tightly controlled pipe. Oddly enough it was Linux on one side and Windows on the other.

The level of scrutiny that IPC (inter-processor communication) channel got was insane. It is probably one of the safest IPC channels in existence!

Unfortunately I didn't fully grasp what systems it was connecting, aviation is full of its own parallel set of jagon that I didn't fully learn in my short time at Boeing!
If a person with a shorter life expectancy values a lifelong copyright less than a person with a longer life expectancy, presumably that means the people value being able to pass their copyright onto kin or other beneficiaries (like charity) after their death. But what about people with no kin or beneficiaries, or people who don't want to pass on their earthly possessions after they die? They will also be discriminated against, by this logic.

... on the floor, in the hallway, working with a group where you're passing work samples around. All use cases I regularly saw with my 4th graders last year.

That said, for the cost of iPads for one classroom the previous year, we got enough chromebooks for the whole grade level last year. Cost is a huge factor, particularly in a school like mine (97% free/reduced lunch; surplus budget was hard to come by.)

There's a difference between civil war and a war of nationalities. I'm not discounting the lives that have been lost in other nation's, but it isn't really relevant to the discussion at hand. The Israel/Palestine issue is a case of one group of people oppressing another group of people. Syria and Iraq are cases of people fight each other for control. They aren't the same thing, and they can't really be compared that way.
And you have to realize, in the US, Israelis and Jews AREN'T an acceptable target derision. It is extremely taboo to say anything negative about Israel or Jewish people, regardless of whether or not there is racial or anti-Semitic motive. On the other hand, especially after 9/11, Arab Americans were subject to a lot of hate, and I would say there is much less taboo in America toward animosity towards Arabs.
What if an author writes a book that no one wants to buy, right before croaking and leaving the family to starve? Most published books probably earn very little for their authors, yet people tend to think of a copyright as this guarantee of comfortable living.

The original comment was 'recommend a chromebook for any windows user who isn't a developer'. It's hardly nitpicky to say that there are plenty of people who have a use case that this doesn't fit (business software users are another very large segment). Oh, well, if it's 'only' 75 million people, I guess they don't count - they're not true Scotsmen.
Then why say "anyone but a developer"? The wording doesn't make sense if this usage of "everyone" means "everyone but designers, music producers, engineers, etc."

Corrupting the storage of a test pattern isn't particularly useful. MAYBE, you could cause premature tagging of bad blocks wearing out a flash drive/card faster. If the system you are using is allowing these kinds of writes to your storage device you have more pressing issues.

Only the most primitive SD/flash drive controllers actually use this scheme anyway -- encryption is much better at randomizing.

I think his argument held more weight in 2005. Even though Haskell at that point was 10 years old I dont think it was quite the poster child of FP it is today.

It's my guess that he's talking about non-pure FPLs like Lisps and MLs, which today don't seem nearly as FP as Haskell, Idris, Agda, Coq - the langs that are now carrying the FP torch.

No you have it backwards. RDBMS are as they are because maths (relational algebra and calculus). There is deep theory behind doing things this way. You can put data in without needing to know how it will be accessed and used (and vice versa). NoSQL just doesn't have this rigor. You have to tightly couple what creates the data with what consumes it. THAT is just begging for trouble down the line.
> Without timezones, each person attending the meeting has to do the mental calculation, "04:00UTC is 14:00 my time, so I'll actually be awake for that meeting, and will have to ensure I don't start anything big after lunch."

No you don't. The whole point is there's no "14:00 my time". You just work from 23:00UTC to 08:00UTC and take your lunch at 02:00UTC. All your clocks are UTC.

> No longer does "6pm" mean "close to sunset" for most people. You have to keep a sunset/sunrise calculator with you at all times just so you can remember what time to set that alarm in order to be at the local office on time. Then when you travel between places that will used to have timezones you'll need to adjust your sunset/sunrise calculator. No longer can you simply set the alarm to go off at 6am local time.

True, it makes life harder for people who are physically travelling to a different office every week. But how many is that, compared to the number of people who need to arrange a phone/video call with someone in a different office? And that ratio is only going to push further.

Most IFE stuff is aftermarket. Boeing was aiming to make things like Wi-Fi standard across all 787s. I'm not sure to what extent IFE was part of 787 plans.

I mostly worked on the Electronic Flight Bag, which is a hilarious case of Boeing realizing that paper flight bags were asinine, and then coming up with an industrial strength solution to the problem of carrying what amounted to a few PDFs on board an airplane.

Last time I checked (years ago) airlines were just moving to iPads whenever possible.

(A flight bag has hundreds upon hundreds of pages of paper that are required by law to be on board an airplane with the pilot, everything from safety literature to information on the current flight, it is a huge hassle)

Again the problem here is, if Boeing ships something stock, the FAA equivalent in every market a plane will be sold into has to agree to every decision made. If a single regulatory body anywhere declares that iPads are not safe for use onboard an airplane, well, the entire idea gets scrapped. This happens to a lot of good ideas.

If Boeing had its way, we'd all have in flight cellular, Wi-Fi, and more, as options on every plane trip we took. Boeing spends a lot of time and a lot of effort on what they know will likely be futile efforts to improve the passengers' experience. But they try anyway. Everyone I met working there flat out loved airplanes with the same zest and zeal we all here share about technology.

But I already have all that information. And I dont have any HUD or other displays anywhere.

I can see the speed of traffic Im merging into, pedestrians, change of speed/flow of traffic ahead of me, and if a pedestrian appears to be willing to cross infront of me.

Without even having to think about it, I can just notice when there is emergency vehicles around or construction vehicles or any other danger-sign on the road. I can be talking to my passangers, listening to music or day-dreaming but would not miss any signs - its in the automated system already.

For me, having those kind of HUD stuff would just be even more redundant information to learn to automatically filter out/make judgements on.

In fact, I think such a heads-up-displays everywhere with color information, would just confuse drivers more and lead to more accidents - now you not only have to keep eyes on the road/let brain handle the information and do its thing - but also interpret and learn the various displays and what they mean, but also to confirm what they display to the sorrounding. More info to process - more error prone decisions.

Perhaps a first step would be to stop referring to it as "identity theft". That phrase places you as the victim, thus implicitly any injury is yours to bear. The proper victims of the fraudsters are the businesses falling for it, thus those firms should be the ones on the losing end (instead of you). Perhaps if they had to bear the costs of fraud, those firms would care more about shoddy identity practices.
