You are completely spot-on.

> As for the rest of your argument, there are books and books and books that address all of it point by point.

Can you name a few?

Love it. Lmk if you never need a hand. I was on the core analysis team at Fortify.

I used to work on a static analyzer that did taint analysis, model checking, buffer bounds checking, and so on -- a bit like a compiler backend on steroids. If there's a specific topic you'd like an explanation on, I could be convinced to write something up.

My favorite was always context-sensitive, interprocedural points-to analysis. And dataflow analysis in the presence of higher-order controlflow constructs.

> I doubt it's really production ready given he likes to start and stop projects

A likely good strategy for success in startups is productizing projects started by George Hotz. :-P

That's very admirable behavior. If he assents, please do share his identity -- even if privately.

This is an excellent quote. I'd like to attribute it properly -- would you mind naming this professor?

> How do you convince someone like this that universal healthcare is better for all of us?

Here is one approach.

1) Enumerate the different options.

2) For each option, enumerate the upsides versus the downsides, which includes cost of implementation and operations, along with their likelihoods. Every option has potential downsides -- are we willing to accept them for the potential upsides?

3) Rank the options by expected utility. Which one comes out on top?

Ironically, you may find that universal healthcare is not the top-ranking option or that we have not yet come up with a high-expected-utility option.

> even if one source is factual and the Daily Stormer is…

I think it's disingenuous to use the Daily Stormer here as an example. I have definitely come across publications on the left that play loose with the facts or have unlikely explanations for directly observable facts.

It would be more fair to use something like PragerU:

dlo — Mon, 13 Aug 2018 15:57:33 +0000

A couple of suggestions.

- Many conferences use blind peer-review.

- After you've finished up with the work, you can ask a PhD to provide feedback/editing in exchange for co-authorship.

New comment by dlo in "Improving my productivity using Pomodoro: takeaways after 2 years of practice"

dlo — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 21:54:46 +0000

Ah, right: "My peak concentration is usually right before break and after break it's generally gone."

One thing I do is, before I take a break, I dump my current notes, as well as things I'd like to do, into a Google Doc. When I return from my break, I take the time to read the notes, which loads pertinent facts back into working memory and gets me back into it.

Another practice that helps is that I let a fine-grained todo list guide me during work. I make sure to explicitly mark what I am currently working on. If I get distracted, it is straightforward to remind myself what I was doing, and once I am done with it, I know exactly what I should be doing next.

You might enjoy reading the section, "Intensely Single-Task," in this article, Philip Guo's "How to Be Effective."

http://pgbovine.net/productivity-tips.htm

He also expanded that section into a full article:

http://www.pgbovine.net/intense-single-tasking.htm

Here is an excerpt I think you might find useful: "This tip has had the greatest benefit to my effectiveness: When you want to work on a task (e.g., from your to-do list), get your mind to enter a specific 'mode' where it only knows how to do that task. Forget everything else. Remain fixed in that mode until you get tired and have to "break character". Then move onto the next task and repeat."

I think it addresses: "Tasks take way longer to complete with forced breaks, especially if the breaks are longer."
