France is actually one of the examples used in the article.

"When France lowered the barriers to receiving unemployment insurance, it actually increased the rate of entrepreneurship.. Until 2001, citizens on unemployment insurance had little incentive to start businesses, since doing so would terminate their benefits. Instead of gutting the program, the state simply decided to let anyone who founded a business keep drawing benefits for a limited period, and guaranteed that they would be eligible again if that business failed. The result: a 25 percent increase in the rate of new-firm creation."
Right, same reason we have limited-liability corporations.
Article starts off with a key element of the #fumblebrag: It was always ultimately someone else's fault. It was always some other loser that effed up. Your only flaw was not seeing in time what a loser that other guy was who caused you to fail.

But now you're wiser, so that won't happen again. You won't "allow access" so carelessly. Because you're really important. And now you know the importance of that.
Let them know if/when you're looking to change job, or ask them for introductions if there is someone that could be useful to know for your work. And make sure to reciprocate by offering up advice or help or introductions when you think something might be of use to them.

You might be surprised what might pop up.

E.g. almost all my jobs have been referrals from connections or people who I've worked with, or even who have worked for me, that have later hired me another place, but in several cases they didn't realise I might be an option until I made it clear I was looking. Don't assume friends will seek you out for jobs etc. just because it's a fit - they may think you're happy where you are and don't want to be presumptuous, or it may simply not have occurred to them.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This is pretty informative. I've used OpenBSD for years, and what he says holds there as well. (OpenBSD fits me better, but FreeBSD is a great OS.)

He alludes to OpenBSD favoring reinstalling rather than upgrading in place. To some extent, this is probably because the OpenBSD installer is quite spartan. Once you know the process, a whole OpenBSD server can be running and configured in well under a half hour. Depending on the system, that can be simpler than merging / updating everything. I update my desktop (chasing snapshots) and laptop (each numbered release, which for OpenBSD happens every 6 months), and just reinstall my firewall/server when I feel like it.

Also, OpenBSD runs a monolithic kernel - all the drivers for the platform are included by default, so if your hardware is supported, it's autodetected on boot. No kernel rebuilding or modules necessary. (I don't think FreeBSD does this.) I've used an OpenBSD install disc to identify weird hardware that Linux didn't recognize.

There are a lot of benefits from a packaging system that primarily builds from source: It's much easier to build a package with various options (OpenBSD calls them "FLAVORS"); build this, no-x11, use postgres for its stats, add support for vorbis, etc. He mentions this, but seeing apt-get struggle with dependencies if you go away from the default configuration (or worse yet, build something from source that other packages use!) really makes it clear. You don't have to build everything from source, either - there are cached packages for most things on the mirrors. (Building all of KDE or GNOME from source would take quite a while!) If PKG_PATH is set to a mirror, "pkg_add pkgname" will attempt to fetch the binary package and its dependencies.

I don't particularly object to Wolfram being self-centered. Nor is there anything wrong with advertising one's own achievements.

But Wolfram seems incapable of talking about any subject without shoehorning in some reference to his own works. Even when expected, it's a jarring, unnecessary interruption; a wild swing from a reasonably interesting article on mathematical history to unabashed self-promotion.

The snark wasn't intended as an offering to Hacker New group-think, but rather borne out of a genuine frustration at Wolfram's style of writing. I find it very difficult to read anything he says, because I'm continually awaiting that moment when he will pause, smile cheesily at the proverbial camera, and explain how amazing his products are.
>If you jump the fence at a concert, or sneak into a movie theater, you are guilty of "Theft of Services".

Perhaps, but it unnecessarily introduces a host of vague, subjective issues (to the benefit of the lawyers involved). The actual crime was being on someone else's real property without their consent, as such the correct charge should be "trespassing."
You must mean "return n", but I don't have an opinion on "correct" behvior. All that's happening is the index is shifted by 1.
It's fine that morality is subjective. Objectivity isn't a requirement for ethical action -- I don't need to write a formal proof to ban a white ethnostate nationalist from my web forum.
We'd need to radically change the system with which education happens to make this real, otherwise teachers and the infrastructure of teachers (administrators, social workers, counselors, janitors, IT people, etc) would still need that workweek + parents who have to follow that workweek.

The point of bitcoin is NOT to make payments. That's not what it's for.

Bitcoin is a STORE of VALUE, like gold or Bonds.

We're currently in an age of unprecedented Fiat currency devaluation the likes of which we've never seen before in such a developed country. And we're only going to see much much more of it as the younger generations have made it clear they want much more from government in the way of fiscal and stimulus than they want taxes. Hence deficit spending will continue to expand and expand. The Fed will keep printing money until inflation runs super high: 2 to 4%, they said they would be happy with! and lets not forget the CPI is undervalued by at least 1%.

the monetary supply this year has expanded at a record pace, just look it up. Assets have been exploding over the last 10 years, both in the US and worldwide.

What all this means is that there is an unprecedented need for a stable STORE of value. It's not about bitcoin. It's about having a store of value that's guaranteed to not be inflated and the world has a huge burning need for it. this is why bitcoin will expand from 700Billion today market cap, up to 10Trillion or 20T or more over the next 5 to 10 years. maybe not in a straight line but it will get there and even exceed it maybe. Bitcoin may be the new bonds, in about 30 years time from now.

The FEDs of the world, that pump up the monetary supply have all agreed on the same game plan: It's call UP is the only way out. The only way to deleverage the economy is to inflate away all the debt. The Governments of the world are all on board with this policy. Why do you think they're all so desperate to create high inflation (3%-4%)? That's how you reduce the debt burden. 10 years of 5% inflation can reduce your debt almost in half, right along with anyone's savings. And by keeping interest rates at 0 or less, they want to make saving as painful as possible, so people will go out and spend their entire retirement savings on consumables to keep the economy going in the short run. the only way to protect yourself from this is to own: Stocks, real estate (not scalable or viable for most), and Gold. That's all there was. Until now. Now there's bitcoin, another way to diversify and not put everything into super high stocks.
Here, here. Exceedingly worse than a bad idea is one that is wrapped in the cloak of "vision" in order to make it sound more profound than it really is. Yes, I'm sure the founders at your coupon startup see themselves as redefining human civilization, but they're really just drinking too much of their own kool-aide.
Pretty much yes, none.

They have been stripped of absolutely everything of value. Wire, plumbing, fixtures: gone. Often also the windows and doors. They have mostly been open to the elements for years. They are not salvagable.
I feel like Apple software quality has been degraded because I always expected kind of top and flawless. It has been and must be to keep its position.

As far as I remember, in earlier versions of OS X, I just didn't care on visuals so much because it was very flawless, so everything felt smooth like a fluid and nothing bugged me.

With 10.10, I see visual/animation glitches very frequently on same hardware. And it is getting bugging me up and it feels flawed. I believe this is because of moving on to a new visual styles. But if this sustains, it's just a matter of time to hit the bottom.
You can't confuse the OS with the shell, though. Metro is the most immediately visible part of Windows but it probably represents 1/10000 of the overall OS code base. I can't think of any reason why a Windows 7 user wouldn't be fine with 8.1 plus ClassicShell.

No.

You're applying evolutionary forces to a simplistic binary plateau.

This isn't intelligence, it's a subset of maximal solutions to bounded problems.

Hint: your dog bounds you as much as you bound your dog. Your dog has some input into your modern homo sapien sapien mind. Same goes for your atmosphere, your gut fauna, your planet's iron core and so on.

Your models cannot even touch this at the moment.
New Zealand has a similar law - you can't advertise on a building unless you own it and use it.. i.e. Coke can put a coke sign on their own building, but nowhere else.

It's beautiful.
Thats not really Netflix's fault though. Google Chrome (not Chromium) is the only browser on Linux that supports the DRM the TV/movie studios forced upon Netflix. With Windows Silverlight works in all browsers so they have access to the DRM.
I suspect that the reason is that WhatsApp wants to make sure that the person behind using the web client is really the person behind the number. This is same reason Whatsapp has no api. They don't want the bot problem that tinder has.

People think the value of Whatsapp is that it is so pervasive. That's a big part of the value, but so much of the value is that whatsapp knows who you really are. You might have a few twitter accounts, a couple of facebook accounts. But you have only _one_ whatsapp account.
Here's a story for reference: http://www.devfactor.net/2014/12/30/2375-amazon-mistake/

More about bots scanning github for api keys, that's pretty scary in itself because I know pushing keys by accident happens a lot.
The worst part about that is that car noise is an actual ecological and "quality of life" threat, combated in many places by noise walls built around roads. Forcing cars to be loud is the worst possible decision that could be made.
Yea, for posts like this it certainly made sense to put dates on them, since the data has a shelf-life, but for other "entrepreneurship-centered" posts we figured it would be best if they seemed "fresh" forever, even if they'd get chronologically moved down on our own site, the search traffic would still have the posts appear "newish". We've since added all the dates on all the posts...as nature intended ;-)
It will be interesting to see how many people are unhappily surprised with the automatic renewal.
One of my favorite ways to avoid user confusion is to use visual cues. So, maybe, when all three fields meet some sort of client-side validation rules then a button fades into view below the last field.

Or, you could highlight the field in focus, including the button.

The fallback for no Javascript would just be two buttons or the 'scrolling' button.

Alternatively, maybe some subtle pathways in the graphics of the pages. Maybe something as simple as a arrow or path that leads the user from one field to another and then finally to the button.
How is it at running locally and working with files on a server? Does it find imported files and functions on the server?
Good interview.

For anyone who's interested, I captured part of his first meeting with Media Lab researchers, staff, and faculty:

http://lamont.scripts.mit.edu/newsio/2011/04/26/joi-ito-addr...

I also heard Nicholas Negroponte (former Media Lab director, OLPC co-founder) speak about Ito's appointment during class yesterday. He thought it was a great appointment (I believe his words were, "Japanese? College dropout? 44? Godson of Timothy Leary? Perfect!") and was also happy to hear that Ito wouldn't be heading his own research group, as it would be too much of a distraction.
There's security breaches all the time on systems that are set up and maintained by people who are 'paid to do it'. I don't think that's a the best possible signal. People who are able to install complex software (something beyond wordpress-ease of install) are possibly more capable than many 'paid to admin server' admins. Not all, of course, but being paid to do something doesn't indicate 100% competence.

Likewise, someone installing something on their own machines for privacy concerns can be said to have more vested in keeping things secure than the person who's only doing it for their job, maintaining a server with thousands of bits of data on it.
>since 50-60% protein would make a lot of people want to barf.

I don't think that's true. I'm currently on a diet that's fairly high in protein (and to go with the theme of the article, comes out to $4-$6 a day I believe). I don't think it's barf-worthy.

Example:
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with a little salsa on top, bacon, mixed veggies
Lunch: Usually salad of romaine, spinach, mixed greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, grilled chicken, and homemade dressing. Sometimes I'll have chili instead of a salad.
Dinner: Usually a pork chop or chicken breast, some spiced lentils, and mixed veggies

I think that's a pretty well balanced high protein diet. I'd estimate it as 60% protein/20% fat/20% carbs. The veggies add relatively few carbs. The only thing it's really "missing" is starchy carbs. Sure, if your high protein plan was 2 pounds of beef a day, I'd go and say it's barf-worthy, but I'd argue most low-carb diets aren't.
Oh give me a break.

The mainframe market is still $10B, and the fact that you can't think of a good use for one does not mean that IBM's product lines are irrelevant. The market should be addressed by major hardware manufacturers, there is still profit to be made here.

The fact that you are comfortable as a "hardware person" saying things like this publicly is a pretty clear indication that your world is much, much smaller than you think it is, relative to the size of the real world.

There's probably a fallacy where the person trying to retort just sends a link to an external article supposed to "inform", thereby avoiding the effort of thinking through an actual point.

... but if I linked you such an article, that'd be a bit of a catch-22.

So, what's the point you're trying to make? Do you even have one? Or did you, too, pick a side and decide they were more right than the other, blindly ignoring the three posts I've written about it?

And will you actually try to answer, or are you, too, going to instead whine on twitter that "{pro,anti}-gg people are being mean again!"?
If you're having problems using Reddit through Tor, use HTTPS. Better yet, force the HTTPS redirections in the Reddit settings.

I usually run `less` niced and with a ulimit of 30 megabytes, but `less` also has an option to configure how much buffer space to use. As far as I can tell, the default is "all of your memory", which is a suboptimal default in my book.
It always frustrated me - it wasn't like people were oblivious to the fact we were in a bubble, they were just trying to enjoy the benefits of it and avoid the risk.

I mean, this was the beginning of home renovation shows that said things like "Your house was worth $200K. We did $50K of renovation. It's now worth $350K." While there is definite value to improvement, some numbers people were seeing on property were ridiculous. Like seriously, even without the above example, for people to seriously believe that the house they bought one year ago for $x should now be worth 1.5 to 2x with little or nothing being done doesn't pass the straight face test.
The Waterloo region is in the midst of this transition: a huge LRT project on the central transit corridor, along with billions in ritzy new condo developments are shooting up, plus refurbished lofts and such. But a lot of the street-level changes are very much in progress: the main drag is this odd mix of upscale restaurants and yoga studios tucked in between pawn shops, tattoo parlors, and dumpy takeout counters.

Anyhow, we believe in it: We just bought a house a few blocks from a future train stop. If there's a possibility that our present vehicle is the last one we buy, I'd be very happy about that.
Wuffs sounds really cool, surprised I haven't heard about it. It claims memory safety but I'd be interested in how it has proven this - is it verified?

Sad that it's a Google project, but I can look past every now and again.
They were "secretive" because they were obligated to do so. It was a secret, military project, and nothing could be published. Ironically, it was the security officer (H. Goldstein) who (illegally) circulated the Neumann paper; no one had expected it, least of all the actual inventors.
What if it became less restrictive?

> Does anybody else get this feeling of fear and hopelessness watching his documentaries.

To an extent, yes. But on the other hand it's interesting to see how particular events have such dramatic long-term effects, because it implies that in the future very different outcomes are possible even without massive world-scale changes.
I have an MS in Mechanical Engineering from an Ivy League university. While I got my degree I too learned Matlab as well as C. I wrote my masters thesis on a controlled mechanism for the breakup of microdroplets in a bidisperse emulsion.

Eight months after graduating and working in industry, I came to the same conclusion as you: that I preferred writing code to working in the mechanical world. I started learning Java and wrote an Android app. I'd stay up late at night and on weekends pouring over examples and hacking stuff together. Six months into doing that I got an interview at my current employer. I got the job. That was two years ago and it's been one of the best decisions of my life.

The key to doing it:

1) Prove to yourself and others that you want to be a programmer, that you actually enjoy writing code for hours a day

2) Have something to show that proves that

3) Find a company (like I did) that is more interested in finding people who know HOW to think rather than WHAT to think. As engineers you and I are very good at solving problems. Find people who care about that rather than the programming languages you know

4) Once a company takes a chance on you, seize it and run like crazy. Learn as much as you can. In a year or two you can be highly skilled and highly employable in this field.

Best of luck!

I agree that my post is just additional noise. But it's noise not disturbing a good signal.

Let me just point out that I think discussing sides of what's linked can be interesting and relevant. In this instance I think discussing privacy around the amount of data Spotify stores is a relevant subdiscussion worth exploring. But complaints about their UI doesn't feel very relevant. Etc.

Now that's only my opinion. What made me write my comment was that it was literally no one discussing the concepts of the article in the first 15 or so comments. Which I found a bit disappointing as I thought the tech is interesting.
I wrote a minecraft clone with full physics sim, and networked multiplayer synced state between all clients. I had to spend a LOT of time on the multiplayer physics state propagation, it requires perfect clock synchronization, both client and server side predictions, interpolations, extrapolations and render-interpolations to maintain smoothness with hundreds of physics objects tumbling and flying around after explosions etc. It's extremely complicated and it's not going to help just having some sort of cloud SDK replicating an in-game memory area unfortunately.

But if your goal is not networked physics, it's certainly a much more simple problem!
IPv6 is internet-routable. You seem to be objecting to a different thing than the IP version used. Maybe the use of CGNAT, or the non-persistent assignment of IPv6 addresses? (The first is a IPv4 thing, the second also a thing under IPv4.) DynDNS is a very workable solution to counteract non-static assignment of addresses.

EDIT in reply to EDIT:
Gee, if only there were some wide-scale home internet use adoption giving everyone an IPv6 address in order to ensure it's supported.

I haven't used Apple Mail in at least 5 years. Last time I tried, it was adequate for one email account (which is probably what 80-90% of users have). Though it supported more, things always seemed to go weird after a while if you tried to use that. Maybe it's better now? When I last used it, it pretty much still seemed to be the NeXT Mail.app ca 1990.
