Because not everyone has a Swedish lifestyle, and you seem to be stretching the upper bounds of immigration. So how do you propose dealing with the 1 billion+ people in the world who need their stands of living increased?

Capitalism has worked wonders at relieving poverty across the globe. It may have led to wage stagnation in outsource-able jobs in the West but it has led to a huge global poverty reduction. Even in Europe it has led to mass improvements in jobs that can't be outsourced, including plenty of blue collar jobs.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs is 72 years old now, it isn't rocket science, people can only be happy in their circumstances if their more basic needs are met.
"You seem to have a crap-ton of money with no clear provenance. That's smelling like tax evasion.

I wasn't commenting on the NHS there, I was making my comments with reference to the Canadian system. I retracted my comment because I made it overly board. If you'd like to learn more about the legality of private cover within the Canadian system you can do so here. [1]

In Canada, while in general private cover is not illegal, for covered health services, it roughly speaking does not exist and my statement that you "have nowhere else to go" holds.

I can see that my statement was unclear, hence my edit.

With respect to the other statement I made, that money won't buy you better care within the NHS is true to the best of my knowledge.

People used to not think marriages between people of different skin colors weren't actual weddings either. Do you think that a Catholic photographer would agree to work a Lutheran wedding?

Just sayin...
This is about state law.
How is that misleading? I think that's the point of the entire article. People aren't downloading new apps which means they're likely not plugged in to the app discovery scene. There's a much smaller surface area for developers targeting new customers than the number of smartphone owners.
There's a difference between defending yourself and offensive war.
Even better, read the actual bill, not someone's description.

> You can love your neighbor as you love yourself, and still not condone or participate in or approve of activities that contradict your faith, just as on a purely secular level you might like an individual but find some of their behavior distasteful.

First, loving someone while saying one of the facets of their identity is wrong is... a weird definition of love, at the very least.

Second, that isn't what's at issue. What's at issue is whether someone's personal distaste should translate into a denial of service in the public sphere.
Of course. Because what is the alternative? "We guarantee that we will operate this service for the next 1000 years, regardless of global warming, pestilence, famine and war?"

Nothing lives forever. No company lives forever. Amazon, Microsoft, Google...may all go away some day.

And, of course, they may change their business focus and decide to go a different way. I would expect any of them to provide notice and let people get their data out...but one should always assume that a service will go away at some point.
"Chesterton's Fence" is pragmatic for getting things done quickly, but I hope people actually come back later to decide if the fence should stay or go.

Leaving fences without questioning why they exist builds tech debt.
I haven't checked the spoiler. The brute force method is probably to just call incr multiple times.

I wonder if there's anything to do with the caching function to get better performance though. Will need to think about it more.
I really want to like Unity.. but they make it hard.
There are a bunch of ways to do one thing, and those ways are probably deprecated. I really like their direction for DOTS, but their communication with their community is pretty much dead. They made a single post after a very long time with an update, and provide no real roadmap.

UE5 is pretty good, having not used UE4. I like how they keep everything backwards compatible, so it's pretty good. I like blueprints and how you can use their C++ bindings pretty easily from it.

I also like that UE5 is dogfooded by Fortnite, so they actually have skin in the game to make the editor better, instead of just relying on royalties.
It's possible even if ISP don't manage traffic, if you use VPN. After much traffic went by speedtest, TCP window size for VPN connection should become big that helps connection speed.
> That's a common refrain from the people holding the monopoly. It's simply untrue. If you are the market leader by a wide margin, you end up dictating the landscape.

So you've missed the actual argument here - how is Google doing that? What are the downsides? Because speaking as someone who switched to DDG out of concern both at Google's social policies and the sheer amount of data they collect, I have been unable to detect any impediments.

I do believe nonetheless that Google has a slightly better search index - the results when I check there seem a little more reliable (slightly more varied results, maybe. Hard to put a finger on the difference). They make a really good search engine and fight hard for that 90% market share. But if we decide the word "monopoly" means "makes a good enough product to command 90% of the market" I don't see what the intellectual argument against monopolies is going to be. Sounds like something we want to encourage.

When IE was a monopoly way back at the dawn of the internet, the main complaint was it really sucked as a product but people couldn't switch away even if they wanted to because banks and stuff (tax office in my case I think :S) required Windows/IE-only features. That is what I'm against.
Jack will be most dominant opinion setter in this episode. This is sounding more like he is siding with Musk.
Beyond game engines one of the things that drives me crazy about commercial software is when I find a bug, document it thoroughly, and submit it to the company only to be ignored. Even with a support contract and on rather severe bugs it can be way too hard to get something fixed. I know I'm not the only person being bitten by this bug, it's all over the help forums and Reddit yet the company doesn't seem to care at all.
I'm not sure I understand what this is. This is smalltalk on the JVM, right?
By "in principle" I am excluding any consideration of running time, or computing resources. For example, if k = 10, perhaps you would need a computer with 10^10000 bytes of RAM working for an equal number of years. It's a finite computation. ;)

"may not even halt" corresponds to my "it looks like". Such algorithms not working would be equivalent to me and the parent commenter being wrong -- which is not out of the question. Probabilistically, such an algorithm should work (I think -- have not checked the details), so it ought to work unless there is some unforeseen reason why it wouldn't. A "conspiracy" against this happening, if you will.

As far as the difficulty in counting twin primes -- well, to give an easier example, look at Cojocaru and Murty's book on sieve methods and read about the sieve of Eratosthenes-Legendre. You know that 1/2 of numbers are even, 2/3 aren't divisible by 3, 4/5 aren't divisible by 5, etc., so the proportion of numbers that are prime is equal to (1/2)(2/3)(4/5)(6/7)..., which you can show with a little bit of effort is equal to 0.

With some work, you can turn this into a proof. In theory, you can estimate the number of primes < X, as a function of X. This estimate would be roughly along the lines of the original post. But as Cojocaru and Murty (among others) point out, the error terms get bad quickly. This type of phenomenon is extremely common in analytic number theory.

In the case of prime counting, you can get better results by other methods, most prominently the Riemann zeta function. But even then you can only get the best results if you prove the Riemann Hypothesis. Million dollar bounty out on that one.
It's clearly a violation of ToS to use Dropship, however, it's less clear whether it's a violation to store code that has the potential to violate the ToS.
I hope this becomes a huge success, if only for Microsoft to un-cancel the Courier.
You're not stupid for creating something that already exists. I've "copied" sites before and have made decent money from them, even if the market was crowded or the idea was unoriginal. At the very least, its a learning experience.

The truth is your not going to come up with a brilliant idea and get rich, so STFU and start building something.
I'm totally, 100% with you on piracy. Your work should not be stolen.

However, if your goal is a business as a full-time technical author, piracy is not your major enemy. Can I strongly suggest looking at the self-published ebook versus traditional published book choice as if you were offered it for the first time today? The first gets you on Amazon, puts you in full control of your marketing, let's you experiment with pricing and message, gives you post-launch opportunities for improvement, and bumps your "royalty" to 70 ~ 95%. The second gets wee little advances. If you look at those advances as buying equity in your book, they're the equity equivalent of a personal loan from CapOne.
Rickdale has a point. The search functionality and the recommendation engine combined with small amount of content makes Netflix streaming a sucky service.
U should not down vote someone just because you disagree with them.
the car would look 70% better if they remove a triangle of steel between the bowl and the end of the roof. i think i am warming up to the design after seeing more pics in better lighting.
I think the reactions that Musk and Holzhausen had tell the story. They were not expecting that to happen at all.

Also, as noted in another story[0], the horizontal plane didn't break at least in part because it wasn't fixed rigidly in place, and thus was able to distort.

It has also never been harder to opt out of popular social media sites. You literally can't, even with aggressive ad-blockers and a PiHole.

You can't even choose to visit websites that are free from Google ads. They're too ubiquitous.

You have no choice as a consumer. There is no invisible hand that can hurt Google or Facebook now, which is why the breakup talk is important.
Not every system is inside a home or workplace.

ATMs. Parking meters. Building security/intercom systems. Digital billboards and transit information signage.

In November? I think it’s a joke too. Maybe they will actually release the truck tomorrow.
If Buttercup and Westley from _The Princess Bride_ were working on software, the conversation might have gone something like this:

Buttercup: I balk at your complexity!
Westley: Software is complexity! Anyone who says otherwise is selling SaaS.

>- drop coffee and sigarettes, reduce alcool, eat more vegetables and fruit; it's weird

Why is it weird? You know in medieval Europe taking a bath was weird, two centuries ago having tuberculosis was fashionable. What is more important - fashion of times or your unique life? You must make up your mind.
Courts and the law doesn't work like that. (See the funny problem of which court would have jurisdiction if a murder would happen in some strange part of a forest, which happens to be Federal land, and also intersect some state borders, and at first glance the currently valid statutes say that the trial should be held somewhere where there's no judge because of some lines on a map.)

But could you give an example of what kind of string could self-incriminate someone?
I don't think that the real cure for depression can be bought or sold.

I played a bit with redo some time ago. It hit a chord with the way I like to do things (small, minimalistic tools that do one thing right). But it was hard to find my way around it, and for certain things (commands that produce more than one "product") the only answers were, in all honesty, hacks. Best example I remember now is bison, which produces a .c and a .h file. The hack was to produce a tar which contained the .c and .h files, declare that as the output from bison, and then have rules that state that your .c and your .h depend on the tar. Blergh.
Possibly the worst information design I've seen, but lots of interesting stuff here.

Hey, I said it was evil... I never said it wasn't a necessary evil. Obviously having salesmen is just the way the world works, and just like how libertarianism, communism, and utopian markets could all work in an ideal world, I recognize that's not the world we live in.
awesome post !
I suppose some day I'll have to start writing my HTML to be
read by machines, rather than humans.

I'm curious how you defend the assertion that you write HTML for humans. You write it on a computer, for other computers, with quite a lot of markup that humans are never going to see. For every ten thousand pageloads, how many people do you think are going to hit "view source?" Writing for "other humans" would be something like a document in a WYSIWYG editor, like Word.

The comparison to code is even more hilariously in-apt. A parser or a complier ignores the indentation and commenting when producing the final product.
Frankly, I found the snottiness in the podcast really obnoxious. If you could tone down the unnecessary insults to your listeners/most everyone who is not you, and drop most of the swearing, there was some good advice in here. (I particularly like the general advice that many situations don't require incorporation at all.)

I'd also be careful suggesting that people create S-Corps and book most of their personal income from the corp as 'distributions' - sure it's possible to save on payroll tax, but it's a risky proposition unless you book a reasonable (i.e. around what someone else would pay you for the work) amount as wages.
Rewinding rental videos was a pain. I remember my local store used to find people for not rewinding rental tapes.

I still make that joke when I return DVD's sometimes. I would open it and look at the DVD as I return it, and say 'just checking that I rewinded it' - the 18 year old clerks have no idea what I am talking about.
Any time I see research or visualizations of primes, I get nervous. I fear that all of our online security is based on encryption and all of that is based on the one-way nature of prime functions.

Can you imagine a world where someone discovers a way to trivially decode every https or ssh session on the internet? I fear we are building a city on top of the fog.
Well, guess what, not everyone has credit card, payment methods are not available in every country.

Look, I'm not trying to be intentionally confrontational - I actually find your product interesting. However, I'm just not understanding the angle you're going for here.

> Hashing passwords is CPU intensive if you're doing computationally expensive stuff (bcrypt, scrypt).

If you are continually logging-in so many accounts that hashing the supplied password is becoming a performance problem, you are either doing something terribly wrong, or you are so big that no SaaS could possibly support you anyway (FB?, Google?).

> If your site has user accounts, it's likely that every single page on your site requires some sort of user data

This, in fact, IS a scaling problem, but I don't see how it's related to authentication. It's a content/caching problem. And even if the problem here was related to auth - are you suggesting that whichever DB/IO operation is causing it can be made faster by a HTTP request going out of the datacenter? Not really sure that's how I'd fix it...

To claim that people who are actively hiding their identities, deny, destroy evidence, pass blame, abrogate responsibility - and make sometimes millions of dollars tax-free by doing so are just revolutionaries for the progression and advancement of our society is ... disingenuous at best.
The software engineering process in browser development seems completely broken. W3C delivers only human-readable specs, and no reference implementation, and no complete test suite. How can we ever expect browsers to be functionally correct?
First of all, the article is paywalled. Mirror at http://archive.is/opnFP

Second, the article doesn't answer its premise. Instead, it is a short introduction to a book about debunking some myths about the nazis.

Out of the list you gave, when would you chose to use Ada vs the others?
Typically speaking home prices tend to fluctuate based on interest rates, because home buyers actually purchase based on what they can afford on a monthly basis, not what the actual list price of the house is. I imagine at such low rates, the effect must be pretty strong though.
For context, I don't think I ever knew the thing we were studying was called linear algebra, so it took me another 17 years to realize that is the common name for what we studied in that class. Now I'm wondering if maybe one of the intents of the small engineering-focused school's tightly integrated math-science-engineering curriculum was to avoid an introductory linear algebra class. We had to understand matrices and vector spaces earlier for other classes and didn't do what you call the "applications" of linear algebra until sophomore year.
I'm guessing they had exhausted the pool of people willing to put up with poor customer service and needed to offer a bit more to keep expanding.
Make a text file and just dump notes, everyday or every other day, on anything that frustrates you (or others) that you can vaguely imagine being a successful startup. Keeping count with each note of how many times you get that "Ugh, I wish someone had solved this problem!" feeling can also help narrow down things when you’re looking to build something.
Let's see if it can make me even a tad more productive..
have you ever seen the web interface?
No one is arguing for throwing away the code. There is certain amount of brains, efforts, time and money spent on writing code.

What is argued is, the active current code should be readable. Version control systems, handle older versions of code very well.
I had a bit of a read but I didn't find where it explains (code or doc) how it achieves reproducible builds.

It seems like a stricter, huge make-like harness (in fact it reminds me of the mozilla firefox python build system a bit).

It's not bad by any means, but it seems like to me it doesn't "magically" fix the "be reproducible" problem at all (which is what it seem to claim)

Am I missing something?
interesting, thanks - I will investigate.

I've seen this before but was still able to play. are you unable to play?

>Brag until you Fail

>Share your idea, it’ll validate (or invalidate it), shape it and most importantly, commit you to it. We don’t want to let people down and we do want to save face, so tell people what you’re working on.

I'm not sure if I agree with this last point. Studies have consistently shown that discussing a goal with others reduces your motivation to actually meet the goal[0]. I've found this to be true in my own experience with side projects. I'll spend a few days excitedly discussing the details of some idea with my friends online, and then never end up finishing the project.

Social pressure does work, but it's likely better for more definite goals. You could tell your friend "You know, I think I'll run that marathon with you next month," and be obligated to prepare for it. However, side projects are mostly self-motivated and there's no use sharing all your excitement with friends instead of working on something tangible to show.

Agreed. What are landlines good for?

Google's Report Spam button is actually pretty close to that. If the message has a List-Unsubscribe header, it offers to use that after hitting the Spam button.

And usually they don't really take 10 days, but that's the limit the law permits so they give themselves as much wiggle room as possible.
I wonder if these movie studios, with increasing costs and ever-greater reliance on "hits", will become more and more like the recording industry, with its three major bland pop-hit consolidated companies and nothing else.
Bad programmers are bad no matter the language... Why you don't waste your time writing an interesting post of your preferred language instead of make jokes about another ones? Maybe the answer is that you can't even write a line of quality code... you people the Nelson Muntz of code..
