To me "travel search" implies everything to do with travel including destination research and more. So whether it's metasearch or OTAs - ultimately the focus is on booking something (is that a correct statement to make?)

To me travel - and certainly travel search should mean more than that

I don't know that the criteria you're proposing are all that different from the current situation. Domain knowledge and math skills are tested by your eduction. Motivation and leadership by committee work. Other skills by teaching. The only difference is your focus on proposals rather than results, and this is already the case in some fields.

I come for a "search for physics beyond the standard model" background, where other than the neutrino mass (from the SNO collaboration, which I was part of) there hasn't been a positive result in decades. So there is already a good deal of focus on proposals rather than results, and yet almost all the issues I see in the biosciences (I jumped ship to genomics in the mid-00's) are also present in that area of physics.

Ergo, empirically, I'm doubtful that focusing on proposals rather than results will make much difference.

The difficulty is that science never makes economic sense for an individual. I spent a decade of my life measuring zero to higher and higher precision, and I know people who have spent entire careers doing so: putting new limits on branching ratios to exotic (which sounds so much better than "nonexistent") decays and so on. It was fun, although I took a year off in the middle to do some medical physics and imaging, which was even more fun because I actually got to measure phenomena that exist.

So when I read things about the paucity of "breakthrough discoveries" I think that mostly the low-hanging fruit have been picked and genomics turns out to be a whole lot harder and more of a slog than people expected, with a vast amount of uninteresting material to be waded through for the sake of a slow accumulation of knowledge that we are still a century away from putting to any very good use.

I don't know what an economically rational model for reward in such an environment is, and it's good that the article raises the issue and explores some alternative approaches, but I don't think there is any easy fix for the problem because I don't think science makes any economic sense. Just moral sense.
Finding the hash for a block is NP-complete, I believe [edited to add: I should note that this is more speculative than my wording may have implied; the rest holds]. We don't have, algorithmically, "a fast way to generate blocks" - we do it through brute force, and size the problem such that collectively someone can solve with reasonable frequency.
No, there were earlier ARPANET-wide failures. The reassembly lockup on December 21, 1973, for example. See "https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc626"

The ARPANET protocols and IMPs provided a guaranteed delivery system.
They did not drop packets in congested situations. They had flow control back to the host, so they could prevent hosts from flooding the network. This left the possibility of network-wide deadlocks where all buffers were in use and nothing could be forwarded. That happened several times in the ARPANET's history.

That's why the Internet does not guarantee delivery of IP datagrams.

Sure all things being equal. When you go to a teacher to be instructed, its counter-productive to be thin-skinned. Even if you are a peer, but are learning the ropes from a more-experienced player, best to take the information without emotionally investing in the style of messaging.
The spec published by WHATWG is a living standard, and is just called "HTML". The expectation is that every so often the W3C will pick a revision of the WHATWG's HTML spec and stamp it with a version number.

Indeed, Lessig has been less than totally radical but he's one of the strongest voices in the public discourse in FAVOR of cultural freedom. He wrote the book "Free Culture", he took on the entire government in the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act trying to stop the retroactive extension of copyright (he failed to stop it though), and he is the primary founder of Creative Commons.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a more respectable person when it comes to critiquing the problems with Copyright. Lessig is completely opposed to the copyright maximalists and deserves great honor for all his valuable work.
It’s a bit like the transition from the bronze age to the iron age.

It wasn’t a sudden switch and while the iron tools owned the future, they were inferior at first. Took a long time before iron tools and weapons became the most popular thing, even after iron tools could be made that were superior to bronze.

Popularity doesn't say anything about tool quality.

A lot changed from 2010-2012 for Haskell. There was an explosion of libraries and tool fix-up. This continues, no doubt, but it has shifted the equation in favor of tools that don't have to make compromises that harm productivity.

I teach Haskell in a decided un-academic manner. This is partly because I have no academic background nor degree. It is also because I teach people Haskell in a manner designed to enable its use for practical projects.

This is the guide I use to teach people Haskell: https://github.com/bitemyapp/learnhaskell

I've taught Haskell successfully for the last year to programmers and non-programmers.

Yes, I clearly read that line as I pulled a quote directly from it. If you read the quote they don't expand beyond what is already available in the app.

If I track a 2 mile 20 minute run with another app, Google Fit (so far) only exposes the data as "Ran 20 minutes" completely eliminating the useful information. And if they have a hidden feature that does track distance as well, why isn't that exposed to me to manually enter?
> I can tell you academic publishing is completely f*cked with no hope.

Care to elaborate? Because in my experience (non-bio, non-med), this is not true. It's certainly not perfect, but overall the peer-review system (again, based on my experience with it) results in scientific progress.

I think that to a large degree, Uber is competing not against taxis/other ride shares, but against "taking my own car." Most Americans -- even urban ones -- have the ability to drive themselves. And at that point you aren't competing against a firm other cost, but against a squishy composite of "parking cost + annoyance of driving myself + value of being able to drink without worrying about driving home."
I think it would be worthwhile to find a way around it, but it would require all applications to be conservative about their allocations. For example, instead of forking, sharing memory between processes could become something that has to be explicitly requested. It's probably never going to happen, given that these primitives such as fork and malloc are so ingrained, but when you consider what Linux is being used for nowadays, from mission critical servers to satellites, it might make sense to make things more robust at the expense of compatibility.
Google is uniquely positioned with the amount of data it has to uncover strong correlations between behavior and disease.
1) This point is silly because it is made moot by Netflix configuring the client to upload as fast as possible whenever they're watching a movie, which I think we can agree would benefit nobody.

Yes, it's true that this is how peering agreements have worked in the past, but if that's not sustainable going forward maybe another agreement needs to be reached.

2) What you say may be true, but it doesn't change the fact that nearly every market in the US has but one single ISP provider. That sure feels a lot like a monopoly to me.

3) I largely agree with you here, except that I would clarify that you can force them to maintain speed between the interconnect. Both the interconnect and the ISP have to have capacity to spare, you can't under-provision your link to the interconnect and then point the finger back at them.
I don't see how anybody wins from this complaint. AT&T already no longer offers any unlimited plans to new customers, and the most likely outcome will be to no longer offer renewals of the existing grandfathered plans.

It's not as if anyone on those plans using 5GB+ a month isn't already aware of the throttling: AT&T is pretty good about notifying you when you are close to or over the limit.

I guess a settlement might let some folks in the middle of their contact get out easier.

But personally, even considered as just a 5GB/line plan, my grandfathered plan is cheaper than anything currently offered (almost even before you account for the $450/line device subsidy!). Probably won't be the case in two years when I'm up again, but for now I'm glad the FTC didn't file this complaint a few months ago.
I think that's the point. During times when there is a higher demand, they want to provide extra incentive for drivers to be out there. That way the supply of drivers doesn't just dry up instantly because of the swell in demand.

that the so called "material" goods allow us a better quality if life than our grandparents and great grandparents.
Companies over time become whatever their revenue stream requires of them. There are exceptions, but very few.

If you'd like to read further, The Innovator's Dilemma and related material has a lot of examples of companies where inertia around existing lines of revenue was strong enough to kill them.

But it's deeper than that. It's only obvious because those companies had their markets shift under them. I think the same sort of inertia is endemic, but it only becomes visible when circumstances change. E.g., look at the number of newspaper companies that existed before 1994, and look at how many are thriving today.

Google's not immune to this. Whatever wonders they come up with, the company is stuffed with people who are very good at selling their users (that is, us) to their customers (the advertisers). It's entirely reasonable to fear what those people will do with my medical data.
The ACA, if left intact, would prevent companies from discriminating against you when they provide you with /health/ insurance. Life, disability, etc. not included.
The web as it exists today would have never happened in binary form. Everything that's terrible about HTML/HTTP/js such as tag soup, liberal acceptance of data, and being text-based have all been avenues to evolve the platform to it's current state.

Compiling HTML if done correctly and properly would effectively freeze the design permanently.
The supposed purpose of surge pricing is to get more drivers on the street, so that implies that the drivers see some portion of the extra payment.

Thanks for the link. A lot depends on where a flat price ends up of course. There's benefit to predictability but not if I pay 2x what I would under a usage-based scheme.

That flat price is going to depend on things like marginal costs, to what degree flat pricing drives up average costs, and how much the heavy users drive up costs for others. As the link suggests, flat pricing seems to work pretty well for broadband but it's unclear how practical it is (today) for wireless.
I'd like a much more muscular FTC/CFPB but then I'm a paternalist statist Euro.
Thanks - I was aware that the sentence was selected because it was syntactically valid but semantic nonsense, but not so familiar with the background debate. For what it's worth, I do think the poem was successful at extracting meaning from each word, albeit metaphorical. It clearly refers to hibernating seeds: "Colorless" refers to the embryonic nature of the seeds - seeds are indeed white or transparent. "Green ideas" are obviously biochemical ambitions for the future - the seeds do not want to be colorless forever. "Sleep furiously" - they may be hibernating, but they are alive and raring to go!

I was so tickled because even without the background, I thought it was good enough poetry to stand on its own. For what it's worth, I believe conveying mood counts as meaning anyway, but in this case I think the poem is surprisingly coherent and specific.
So because the current best option is grouping people based on imprecise risk factors like age, demographics, and hereditary problems, we should forever turn a blind eye to individual warning signs even if they could save our lives?

This is a depressingly pessimistic way of ignoring the real underlying problem: health care is too fucking expensive.

Dealing with Insecurities as a Black Tech Entrepreneur
If Uber significantly affects demand, then we might see seismic shifts in the demographics of drivers.

As for the existing drivers, my point is that the effects you're touting are temporary. Taxi companies that provide a lesser service will die off and be replaced by others that follow the example of Uber. The overall economics of the thing will not change unless there is a significant change in demand. I don't think this is going to happen due to Uber any more than it did due to ZipCar.

> For those of us who are Americans, isn't it amazing how the companies that provide us with access to the internet are pretty much among the most hated companies in our country?

My read is that when companies get large enough not to have to really compete, and especially when they have services that are hard to live without, then they go from seeing people as customers (whose loyalty they must win) to territory (which they conquer and exploit).

Capitalism works really well in the small when there's plenty of competition: I live in a neighborhood with a lot of local restaurants, and they're generally great. But dealing with an incumbent telco or cable company quickly makes me look like I have Tourette's.
Why can Google find gas+stations but not local+pgp+key+signers?
This is not based on any kind of deep analysis whatsoever, but I'm starting to get the same vibe from Uber as I got from Groupon several years ago.

Groupon's promise to local business owners was that offering a Groupon deal was an easy way to attract new long-term customers en masse, despite the sizable up-front loss. History showed that that did not happen for many businesses who used Groupon.

Similarly, so much of Uber's marketing is targeted towards the supply side (i.e. drivers) and the promise of making more than they could at any other available job, with "flexible hours" and other dubious perks. This is just the latest article to show that that is not the case.

Groupon's and Uber's business both depend on acquiring and retaining the best local businesses and drivers respectively, and as these kinds of stories keep coming to light, I wonder whether Uber will be able to retain all the drivers they acquire. Lyft has focused from the start on making their drivers happy, which is a smart way to differentiate from Uber's mercenary mindset, but I also wonder if that is enough to really differentiate itself in the eyes of drivers, at least enough to make Uber really worry.

In all honesty, I am rooting for someone to beat out Uber. When I first learned about them about 2 years ago, I marveled at their business model innovation and their ability to execute. But everything I read (and personally experience) about Uber tells me that they are becoming the new Investment Bank, both philosophically and culturally.
I think we're clear (or at least the press is) on who is Iron Man in this bunch.

Batman is still pretty cool, in my book. I've been around the block, and I've learned that to ask 100% kink-free moral perfection from human beings is a fool's errand. Stomp a few people's faces for the eventual greater good is fine, if you don't do it too much. Not sure if I could find an equivalent in real life, though. Maybe Bill Gates? No, he's more like the ruthless merchant turned philantropist.

Ozymandias is some famous media moguls, along with a bunch of finance tycoons for good measure. It's a far more popular archetype.

“You're a Dbag.” How Negative Feedback Dramatically Improves Your Personality
The problem with GPG integration IMHO is not technical, it's practical: Most people (as it happens with tor) do not understand how it works and more specifically why it should work that way to avoid snooping and MiTM attacks. Until we solve that part, Pretty Good Privacy, won't work for most people.

As Einstein said: "Things should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler". By making PGP simpler, you're effectively killing it by adding more and more attack vectors.
