Users would have to install NixOs (or GuixOs) as the base operating system, there is no getting around that.

The mitochondria has a genome (mtDNA). Not my area but I think while we initially thought it was a fossil of the mito's prokaryotic history and we'd subsumed all the good stuff, there are genes there that may be of interest for exploring ageing and metabolic disorders. It's also quite interesting genetically, as only passed down the maternal line, so can be traced back to a single "mitochondrial eve" (MRCA). This brings up some neat ideas in selfish gene theory wrt battle of the sexes etc.

That's normally harmless... But this time it's systemd developers doing the dance, and they have enough leverage to take several distros hostage into their new ways.

Or maybe that sort of thing is what is necessary to make somebody replace systemd for once.

We have an extreme case of the merit system here in India. Students who are trying to get into the IITs are judged solely on a composite score of their IIT entrance test results + school final exam results.

There are many 'coaching centres' all over the place that aim to teach students how to crack the entrance test. Students pretty much spend 3 hrs/day at these coaching centres, and more during the weekends. When I was in school, you had to pass an entrance test just to get into these coaching centres. Now, they even target younger kids from 8th grade onwards.

Unfortunately, all of this just distorts meritocracy in a different way. Obviously, these coaching centres are very expensive, and their students come from families that can afford it. These students get upto 4 years of coaching to teach them to pass the entrance tests. A poor, but intelligent student (who probably attends a sub-par school) does not have access to facilities like this and is at a disadvantage compared to his/her less intelligent peers.

I read somewhere that you should try to write a summary of everything you read. This is supposed to help you realize how little new information there is and let you learn avoiding substance-less articles. Or something like that. Can't find the source for this right now, anyone?
I'm hoping someone with recent experience answers your question. I worked at Carderock in the early 90s, and I can tell you then, computer models worked only for the simplest shapes (only underwater vehicles, nothing on the surface) and were used to narrow down the number of physical models, but the computer models were nowhere close enough to real world to be used in place of extensive scale models.
of course, the phone I am writing this on probably has more processing power than the cray I was using back then!

I'll add that it is not just processing power that is the issue. The Navier Stokes equations for fluid flow (and the related equations) do not have closed form solutions. And even if they did, there are observed flow phenomena that cant be captured. CFD is an area where our mathematical understanding of the problem needs to advance further before we can accurately model in silicon. Some incredibly fascinating problems there - I sometimes wish I had stayed in the field.

How to Monetize Your API
I did mean "homoiconic". It was 5am when I wrote it.

> I don't find it difficult to intertranslate at all.

I should have also mentioned "variadic" with regards to lists and macros. Although it's possible to inter-translate, the required add-ons such as Template Haskell macros and Typed Clojure make each language more clunky. The pure form of each language is based on two mutually exclusive foundations, i.e. strongly typed auto-curried parameters and variadic untyped macro parameters.

Nobody contests that Apple products are iconic. The trouble, a lot of people seem to think that since Apple popularized something, they "own" it now and any other company that enters the market (or was in the market before Apple!) is now "stealing" what rightfully belongs to Apple.
I think this is awesome. The ability to deploy new OS versions, and have a full trustable roll-back, is particularly great.

I'm not totally convinced about encoding a user database into the volumes, mainly thinking about network directories, but I guess the disk users will only be local static accounts anyway. Solving the network user database 'problem' properly would be a huge win (and I don't count LDAP as a solution, although a well-tuned LDAP configuration does work pretty decently).

You only make the initial instantiation once.

- SSH to remote

- on remote, run "screen"

- get disconnected from remote

- SSH to remote, .bashrc runs "screen -DR" and you resume from where you left off

You only have to create the initial screen session once, and it persists until you explicitly shut it down or restart the remote machine.

>But if I lost connectivity - my SSH session won't be auto-resumed from local machine in first place, I think thats one of the things `mosh` solves.

While true, it just seems (to me) that if that's the only problem you're solving (which is to say, not needing to type the command "ssh host" and let your key log you in) and it's at the expense of not being able to properly ForwardAgent (which I require very heavily in my line of work), then it's a lot of work for negative return.

But, again, to each their own. As mentioned below, if your latency over a phone connection is so bad that this helps you, then by all means, use it. :) I'm just noting that for pretty much everyone I work with, this would be a step backwards.
So your take "Yes of course, value investor is a chance event".

Alternative hypothesis does exist:-) They also have names like
Berkshire, Soros, DE Shaw, Renaissance, Virtu, Tiger cubs, Ed Thorpe, Bridgewater, AQR, Tepper .. why do they exist?? markets are efficient. Are they not as "deep" thinkers as you are? Is that why they have wasted their 30-40yrs amassing wealth in the market? They must not be very smart wasting all that time thinking markets are inefficient.

Indeed, very large hedge funds and super successful/secretive investors do exist (they are the same y/y after). The successful one get larger every year. If markets are efficient, why would hedge funds particularly the successful ones? Some of them aren't reported in the media as they are private family offices. So the alternative hypothesis Why would these guys be wasting their time? And more recently high frequency trading hedgefunds show Sharpe Ratios of more than 7, outperforming the market by more than 15x.

The reason why they can't become large as the market is because they can't get enough leverage and/or find large enough balance sheet. But you can bet, they are actively seeking more money to expand. Case in point, Bridgewater, which exploits really a longshot bias, via their risk-parity fund is now a $160bn fund (grew from less than $1mn in 1970s). This is in practice, you just can't get the world's balance sheet as Capital is tied up in other economic processes.
Also large swings in the stock market also indicate that the markets are not efficient. What justifies 50% drop in S&P in less than a year, if everything was fairly priced. In my opinion, super successful investors also reach their utility function for capital. Case in point is guys like Ed Thorpe, who ran successful hedgefunds for 20yrs with same 20% return every year. There's a finite capital utility for every man.

I agree that someone who is not skilled in the market day to day, should just invest in S&P.

Just imagine that mitochondria are an API to a power system and the nucleus is the control system. Sometimes it works out that a foreign mitochondrial component (i.e. 3rd party) works well, or maybe there are even whole classes that work well. But we just don't know. Maybe they are directly swappable, but since we don't even understand all the processes that go on and what communication (exactly) takes place we can't say for sure, we just have to go on primitive black-box cohort studies.
And the same goes for those as well, if changing them would for some reason improve the child's quality of life.

You don't actually need to open a UDP port range, a single UDP port is enough. But then you'll have to tell mosh with the -p parameter which port it has to use.

There's this mantra: "Anitvirus is dead". Unsigned shit will ruin your day. It's creating sadness every day. Blindly booting any old garbage, happily taking any old firmware update, executing whatever has an execute bit set is what is broken about computer security today.

Your computer's TPM is actually completely customizable. By taking ownership of mine I presume I can no longer boot the Win8 image that shipped with it, but I see now it's a very useful tool. I also started off in the anti-DRM, anti-Microsoft crowd with a deep distrust for this technology, but I think these days it actually is seeing useful application in enterprise security. Things like Intel's TXT and AMD's SVM are definitely on the right trajectory.

Having said all that, I dislike systemd. They still don't support keyscript in crypttab, from what I can glean of Lennart's comments on this it's because custom scripting seems to be an abhorrent concept among systemd developers. This strikes me as the wrong culture to have for such a critical piece of infrastructure in our ecosystem.
Take what exactly? You're not exactly selling this.
It's sad that there aren't legal requirements for security hardening. There are massive corporations which retain sensitive information that are low hanging fruit for script kiddies.

I'm not sure why you think adoption is at this end of the continuum. I would say that complete genetic engineering of a zygote "from scratch" would be at this end of the continuum. Somewhere in between would be selecting exactly which of your and your partner's genes go into the zygote.

Because they don't have to? Their goal isn't to create good PR, its to cement themselves as a rite of passage for the wealthy, intelligent, and influential. They don't really care what the plebs think about them, they just want to make sure that the select few coming from lower or middle class backgrounds but have the abilities necessary to move up in society are interested in attending their school. And those people are generally aware of the financial aid situation, or will at least apply and then find out about the financial aid situation if they're accepted.

Also, removing the tuition would make them look cheap to their target audience. In reality, a significant majority of students do end up getting financial aid. It just has to be indirect, so it doesn't harm the school's reputation.

Whatever we do, the elite of a generation from now will consist largely of the children of the current elite. The path to the good life is challenging because there is a lot of competition, good advice and careful preparation help a lot in getting there, and the people in the best position to provide that advice and preparation are the ones who have already made it.

But I do think we can tune the parameters a bit. We can make sure that everyone has access to decent-to-good education, so the talented poor have a fighting chance. We can make the admissions based on some reasonable proxies of ability so the biggest boneheads among the sons of privilege get sorted out. And we can make the system as transparent as possible, so everyone knows what is expected.

With that in mind, I think the current system in the US fails pretty hard on the first criterion -- the worst schools are just awful. It could also improve on the third; what the elite colleges are looking for in admissions, such as "service", isn't at all obvious.

My sense is that the US has constructed a very complicated system that in the end delivers pretty much the standard result. A simpler, clearer system based on plain tests, such as India's, just might be a better solution in the end.
Not just TOR but in China you have to use a VPN to access about half the internet, and many sites restrict your access because you're connecting to them from the VPN. Paypal threatened to ban me if I ever forgot to turn off the VPN or accidentally withdrew money while in the wrong country.

Maybe the solution is more people using TOR and VPNs so sites will have to face losing their audience if they don't accommodate them.
The same applies to scaling up helicopters. It is much easier to scale up a plane than to scale up a chopper. A nice example of this is the little 3/4/6/hex copters that you see RC models of.

Scaling those up is very hard if not impossible.
It really is an excellent FizzBuzz, and I feel like it gets to the root of what FizzBuzz should be accomplishing -- does someone understand basic programming constructs like loops, and are they able to analyze and solve the problem?

The people that I've shown it to in person tend to overthink it on first go, going so far as to talk about rainbow tables to solve the hash. In fact, if you spend the time to look at the hashing algorithm itself it's much easier (and is also a terrible "hash.")

I did not want to comment in this thread as I am heavily biased and my opinion cannot be very objective, but let me just try to clarify some facts:

About me: I do have a mitochondrial disease. In some of my cells, my mitochondrial DNA is not complete. If you think about it as a circle, about one third of that circle is missing. It is called a "heteroplasmic single deletion mtDNA mutation".

1. The mitochondrial DNA, much like the nuclear DNA, is a blueprint for building bits and pieces of our body.

2. The mitochondrial DNA encodes parts that are necessary to build the electron transport chain, i.e., to derive energy from food. In the car analogy, it encodes parts of the core engine (spark, combustion chamber, etc); the last step in the whole metabolic process.

3. The mitochondrial DNA does not encode anything outside of the electron transport chain. So, no blue eyes, no blonde, no smart. Nada.

4. This law will allow some kids to have a normal metabolism and a normal life. Nothing more. Nothing less.

5. I am well aware that this will open lots of possibilities for future genetic manipulation, but bear in mind that mtDNA is much more simpler than nuclear DNA and they are two distinct entities, so this law has no application in the field of traditional (nuclear) genetic manipulation.

Hope this helps.
This is incredibly cool although I think it would be even better if there was some sort of objective to the game. Perhaps it's just me, but I would quickly lose interest. Then again, I feel the same way about Minecraft, and that's certainly caught on.

What kind of financial/other incentive could there be for Anand be to go to Apple?

It seems so much more limiting to be working at a company like Apple than running your own show.

The reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/comments/2f1jze/anand_from_... refers to him buying a Ferrari at 17 in 1999(2-3 years after starting Anandtech and at the high of the dotcom craze of late 90s).

Presumably, the site has been doing quite well since then thanks to the excellent quality of articles like the famous SSD series.

We know Apple of Steve Jobs would not pay any super salaries at Apple.

I think his point is that the "master of manipulation" at Berkeley was able to get satisfactory work from people who didn't even have a college degree only because they didn't have enough to simultaneously work on multiple assignments (and could therefore dedicate a lot of time to one assignment). So the difference between one of them and a good college student is just the throughput, rather than a fundamental difference in the ability to complete the assignment in the first place.

However, I don't agree with that comparison in one respect - you typically have plenty of flexibility in college with regards to when you actually complete the assignment. You get it weeks in advance, allowing you to plan things out meticulously, if you're that sort of person.

And this is true - I remember people from college like this. They didn't have the raw brainpower or intelligence that you might expect of a typical high achieving student, but they made up for it with superior time management skills and perennial self discipline.
