You make valid and understandable points, I think, but I'd still like to expose my point of view, as I read mostly "classics", interrupted by the occasional piece of non-fic.

I'm not really into stopping my reading to take notes and analyze sentence structures either. However, I deeply enjoy it when the author uses fiction to express complex ideas about society, philosophy and human life in general. I enjoy that I can feel these themes happen through the character development, and the author's thesis come though as the plot advances.

For some especially heavy reads though, this might not happen so organically and that's when it stops feeling like enjoying a good read, and feels more like trying to understand Kant, sentence by sentence. I don't think at this point in my life I'd enjoy Joyce much, either (though I've heard Portrait is somewhat more accessible).

However I do find that the more I read, the more enjoyable I find reading novels with complex themes and such. Practice, I guess, and I find it very rewarding. Just start with something that's not too hard and go from there.

I just can't remember where, but a couple weeks ago I read an editorial in a paper that was about how, historically, fiction has been so much better at expressing "subversive" ideas and bringing them out in the culture. Just think about the thinkers of the French Revolution.

That's why I enjoy good fiction :)

This is exactly my experience from when I was a professor. I drove my students to the maximum level I could and still keep my evaluation score just above the minimum (3.5/5). At the time they hated it, but later on they loved to tell me how much they learnt in my classes - their memory of all the work faded and they were left with the true feeling of accomplishment.
Can't recommend these notebooks enough. They cover an incredible variety of statistics, physics, and other topics. They're lucidly written and well cited. He's definitely an inspiration to keep reading and understanding.

Yes, it is a really weird property of 2-spheres that that holds.

One consequence is that yet another way to pick a point uniformly on the sphere is to choose z ∈ [-1, 1] uniformly, then choose λ ∈ [-180°, 180°) uniformly and use the point

(cos(λ)*sqrt(1-z*z), sin(λ)*sqrt(1-z*z), z)

Here is another solution that hasn't been mentioned yet, but has by far the best price/performance if it matches your use-case. Google BigQuery isn't advertised as being for log search, but in practice it works phenomenally well. It provides exceptionally low storage costs, combined with a powerful query language and reasonable query costs. The counter-intuitive part is that the query performance, even on tens or hundreds of gigabytes of data is amazing, and better in practice than many purpose built inverted index log search systems.

If you want to use your logs for troubleshooting (e.g. ad-hoc queries to find error messages) or ad-hoc analytics it is ideal. Hundreds of gigabytes can be searched or analyzed in 5-6 seconds per query.

Fluentd can be used to collect log data and send to BigQuery.
True in theory, but not true in practice. Terrible lecturers find ways to rationalize the poor grades of their students (i.e. externalize the blame) and curve grades to get kids to pass the class. Especially bad lecturers will give the bulk of students high grades to preclude complaints. For their part, poor students could care less about what they learn, instead focusing on passing or getting a good letter grade. In poor programs, subsequent more advanced courses in a sequence are subjected to downward pressure when it comes to teaching more rigorous or advanced topics because the students suck so badly (because of the lack of rigor in early courses). A cluster of poor students can be surprisingly good at stymieing course progress. Many professors have to perform research and would rather placate the students with good grades instead of wasting their research time, which is vital to maintaining their careers (Teaching is secondary at research universities no matter what administration tells you) . The can gets kicked down the road, and mediocrity matriculates.

These do not provide any meaningful (or value) to the conversation nor are related to the subject, on the other hand the "tl;dr" was totally related to the context of the article, and a nice pun intended for the sense of humor.

Also it was how this whole conversation started, although really tangential to the OP; which encouraged a conversation.
Call of duty 4, patch note 5.0
There are several people who are very inspiring and important to me.

- Paul Graham and Eliezer Yudkowsky

The 2 most clever people that I am aware of. I admire the way they write and think, and want to learn to do that as well.

- Owen Cook(Tyler) from RSD

This is the perfect model of a man that I wish to be. Driven, charismatic, intelligent, just generally awesome. This is how I want to behave and be like.

- Louis CK, Dan Harmon(creator of the shows Community and Rick and Morty) and Randall Munroe(the author of xkcd)

I have enormous respect and love for comedy, just something about the way comedians think is incredibly attractive to me. It takes a lot to be as brilliantly creative as these guys, and I want to learn to think like that.

Others:

Richard Feynman, Kevin Mitnick, Frank Abagnale, Richard Branson - based on their autobiographies, these guys lived cool lives.

Elon Musk - I don't know what kind of person he is, but based on what he does - he is as cool as it gets.

Fictional:

- Walter White, Gregory House

Brilliant person willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, not giving up in desperate situations, acting rationally despite the emotions.

- Barney Stinson

Haha this dude is awesome.

- Hank Rearden

Basically a definition of a badass person, created to be the role model for people like me.

- Harry from HPMOR

Not much to explain here, he is also basically a definition of a cool person.

Others: Harvey Specter, Frank Underwood, Ari Gold, Hank Moody. And Tony Stark I guess =)

The Soviet Union was run by increasingly aging and increasingly paranoid revolutionaries (literally, people who had fought a coup) who were generally unconcerned with science.

The PRC is run by technocrats educated in the West.

It's very nice to think that it's impossible to "create a new citizen," but the West has been doing that pretty effectively over the last few decades. I don't doubt the Chinese will be successful.

There is no inherent good in the universe. There is no particle or fundamental force for morality. There are truly no constraints. It is nice to believe that good will win and evil will fail, but that doesn't always happen. There's no law of the universe preventing the PRC from creating a new citizen, a perpetually controllable citizen, held in check by pervasive surveillance of a very similar form to the one experienced in the West, only with the results visible, and leveraged against the people openly, rather than covertly and without opportunity to improve your score (try getting off the no-fly list).

There is no law of the universe that totalitarianism loses and democracy wins. Maybe the PRC will be successful and create a permanently stable capitalist totalitarian state.

I wonder who's writing their software?
The thing about security is that it touches everything.

Ease of use? If something's hard to use, it's easy to confuse people into doing insecure things. Security issue.

Unreliable? Security depends on predictable behavior, and failure modes are often unpredictable. Security issue.

Proprietary protocol? Even if it wasn't intentionally backdoored, you don't know its real attack surface, because you don't know all of the verbs it contains. Verbs imply actions, actions imply changes of state, changes of state imply the Dark Side... uh, security concerns. Security issue.

Performance? Even aside from timing attacks and simple DoSing, things often behave oddly when pushed to a limit, especially if that limit involves otherwise-hidden race conditions. Security issue.
You could have easily taken the full quote -- it's not quite the contradiction you're trying to make:

"GPL fans said the great problem we would face is that companies would take our BSD code, modify it, and not give back. Nope—the great problem we face is that people would wrap the GPL around our code, and lock us out in the same way that these supposed companies would lock us out. Just like the Linux community, we have many companies giving us code back, all the time. But once the code is GPL'd, we cannot get it back."

Leonardo da Vinci - An independent self learner who was accomplished in art and engineering. I'd say Renaissance Men in general are pretty high up on my list of admiration.

In general, the EU is _very_ strong on open source commitments. Almost all projects that I know of and some of which I'm working on funded as part of FP7 (Seventh Framework Programme) will eventually end up open-sourced.
I don't think any of the free/open licenses require users to contribute to the parent project. I don't think any even require that people distributing modified versions, send those modifications back upstream.
To me, these examples vividly illustrate the limitations of working with observational data, and are an extension of the standard "correlation vs causation" problem.

I think the pertinent lesson here is that these are still very real problems in the world of "big data": just because you're map-reducing, and throwing around petabytes of data, what you can learn is still limited by the regime under which the data were collected.

Google officially discontinues Nexus 7 tablet
I am studying media art at the University for Arts and Design Karlsruhe, Germany [1]. It was founded in the nineties, alongside ZKM, the Museum for new media [2].
One of the founding principles of the school was to limit professor tenure to three years, regardless of the performance. The idea behind it was to prevent the school to become a morass of old ideas and stay competitive in a new field.

It succeeded to a degree, especially with regard to the sheer number of different artistic positions that get to be represented at a small university. It is not without fault however - the quality of teaching is not constant; after a professor leaves there is oftentimes a semester of emptiness until a new one arrives.

And while the students can not fire a professor, they have a vote in the committee that decides which person to hire as the next professor.

Great experience, thanks for sharing.
Big difference, I think, is that in your case you're mixing it with water, so it will warm up a lot more quickly. In the OP's case, he just had the dry ice in there with no water, so presumably it would melt more slowly, and there may be enough time for the carbon dioxide to escape through tiny gaps or cracks in the cap.
You really don't need a case. No wifi either, if the desk isn't too far from the cable/telephone box. Spare power supplies, keyboards and mice probably aren't hard to find either. But yeah, it's more than 35$ in most cases.

"who were generally unconcerned with science"

That one is far from truth. Soviet society was hugely concerned with science. They didn't lack in science in their ways; it just turned out that scientifically-sound methods often conflict with social reality and what people like.

For example: while it is sound to build your cities as arrays of concrete blocks with wide roads served by public transportations, living in such environment is no picnic. When you relocate someone who used to have their garden, their garage with tools, etc - into a flat in concrete block, they usually begin to drink for the lack of activities they are used to.

I don't get it. Can't you retain copyright to code you yourself release under GPL and also use it under a different license or as part of closes source software? As far as I know, you can...
UAVs are the future. They are more affordable, they can be stealther, they can be smaller, they can stay flying for longer, and they require less ground support.

I can not believe the F-35 hasn't been completely cancelled yet. Every partner of the US doesn't really want these expensive beasts.
Referral... bonus? These are things? Seriously, though. Every referral I've made in my career has flaked out at some point. It doesn't matter if it's a person I've known for years, or someone I recently met at a meetup or over coffee.

I've made it a point to refer not a single person again because I'm tired of my and my employer's time being pissed away, when we can just dispense with the bullshit and get back to doing real work.

"There's no law of the universe preventing the PRC from creating a new citizen, a perpetually controllable citizen, held in check by pervasive surveillance"

Control is a contract. Citizen gives you his behavior, you give him predictable prosperous life.

Once you breach this contract, your system begins to leak. Do Chinese expect eternal economy growth now? Because when it stops, millions of people will seek to change their lives to make a living. That's what happened in NK where tight surveillance did not prevent hundreds of thoudsands from unregulated activites such as crossing the border, selling things on market and producing stuff outside of state factories.

> Are you sure about that?

Positive. No US company will bother with visa headaches for an intern regardless of how exciting the cover letter is. Further compounded by the fact that he's from Egypt, which is a 3rd world country with a highly unstable situation. I suspect you were never exposed to all the pleasures of the US visa process, which would explain your rather naive view of the situation.
Although I'm against the death penalty and I think it's used too much here in the US, I don't think it's used 'all of the time' and I'm pretty sure it's never for something trivial. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
100% agreed. I used to work for one of the bigger, more well-covered (in terms of US press coverage) European start-ups , and I was contacted by Web Summit last year about "participating" in the upcoming event and invited to discuss the "opportunity" via Skype. I hop on Skype with the guy and he immediately starts trying to shake me down for money for a sponsorship...without actually knowing what my company at the time did (I asked him straight up, "Do you know what we do?", and he stammered off how he was impressed with our growth blah blah blah without answering the question).
I never claimed Linux was a Pinto. My point is, some things are just built well, and even if they're not used very often we can expect a certain level of quality, as opposed to saying that the only reason we don't see them stolen is because so few people drive them. Especially if they're used all the damn time, just not in places people see a lot.

So some bugs will be found in OpenBSD. That's a given. However, it isn't like OpenBSD is never used, or that the people who made it are bad programmers.
