I am assuming you want to invest with minimal additional effort. E.g. more like buying shares than flying over to the states to enrol in YC.

In that case you could pick up some books on investing in shares. This has good liquidity and although risky it is unlikely you will lose 100%. If you have a portfolio of shares in different sectors, you should be at low risk of losing lots.

If you fancy learning but still a passive investment, then maybe stamps, antiques, collectibles. You will get additional enjoyment out of it in the meantime.

Some parts of the UK I imagine you could use 5k for a house down-payment and rent it out. I have been expat for 4 years so I have no idea.

If you want to be more involved you could start some kind of business, using 50-100 pounds and your own effort to get it going, then 'invest' more money once you have a proven method. For example once you can spend 100 on advertising to make 200 gross profit, then you can scale that up using the 5000, then keep reinvesting to grow it. Easier said than done!

Or you could renovate something. Lots of people have broken things they would give away or sell cheaply - you repair and sell on for a profit. But you will need some capital and that is how you can invest your 5000.
> Why is it ...

Because it fits the gender stereotypes people use. Male stalkers don't need to be attributed as crazy, since all males are portrayed in culture as stalking rapists. A female stalker cant' be directly explained by her gender, so the attribute "crazy" is used instead, which then fits into an other gender stereotype.
We used to recommend Backblaze to our clients (and set a few up with it), but when they announced a while back that they had entertained a purchase offer, I pulled the plug on that. I can't in good conscience recommend an online backup service that's not in it for the long haul.

We now try to get people set up with Carbonite, mostly because of its pricing, ease-of-use, and compatibility with most platforms.

I'd love to find something with a good white-label reseller program, but no luck so far.
Maybe because they realize that "intellectual property" isn't really property as we usually understand the term. It's just a clever phrase coined to influence the way people think about the issue, like "cyber bullying".
Learn a power tool like Sass, and you'll get your creativity back. I'm a designer who actually prefers coding CSS (via Sass) over Photoshop.

PS is incredibly awkward and unwieldy for web design. You don't realize it though, because there so few options for anything better. It was designed for photo editing and graphic work, not solving layout problems for a flexible medium like HTML.
what parts of betfair are you suggesting? I am skeptical but intrigued. while profitable gambling is possible I expect the potential returns are much less for respective successful strategies with advantaged gambling also less amenable to extracting any sort of substansively edge giving pattern.

edit: i'm refering to algorithmic trading v gambling not HFT.
can you go more into the machine learning parts? i love such uses of ML, so futuristic.. im guessing you use either some kind of genetic algorithm or neural networks as is most common? or something else entirely?
OpenDNS has a whole bunch of other opt-out (per IP) features that depend on DNS-level hijacking.

By default they point NXDOMAIN to their own landing page, blacklist 'known phishing sites', and proxy some Google requests through their own servers to defeat clever browser address bars.
I recognize most of it, particularly sounds which are in English, but sometimes I have to look a letter up to recall the sound.

In the example, I do tend to skip to the latter part if it is available, probably because I can just "read" the latter part, but I would have to think briefly for each letter in the IPA part.
Didn't Netflix have what every other service was missing ? Netflix had a deal that they could stream whatever they had on DVDs for a fixed price. So they had boatloads of streamable content, which was the major stumbling block of everything else.
I wouldn’t say it’s unheard-of; perhaps my mom is an outlier, but she’s been doing Automated Peritoneal Dialysis for about 3.5 years.

A memory leak should not be able to do that (indeed, calling malloc repeatedly until it fails does not). You should report this

> I'll bet even John Coltrane or Richard Feynman felt that everything they were playing or saying was pretty obvious.

No, Feynman specifically said it takes a lot of effort and top quality understanding to explain stuff well enough for it to seem obvious to others. He didn't think it was automatic.

He further thought, for example, that being a good physicist takes a lot of imagination to come up with new and different ideas. In other words, physicists have to think of non-obvious stuff.

It's weird to assume someone who had lots of new and important ideas, and who put tons of effort into being a clear explainer of ideas, would be someone to just assume their ideas are obvious.

A sibling comment discusses people who don't do their homework before writing. I think people should not talk about public figures without doing their homework -- if you don't know what someone is about just stick to the topic instead of invoking his name.
One problem with Prolog is that the "standard" doesn't include a lot of useful functionality that implementations typically provide. Not all Prologs have packaging systems or constraint programming extensions, for example, yet they make Prolog dramatically more useful. SWI Prolog (http://www.swi-prolog.org/) and GNU Prolog (http://www.gprolog.org/) are pretty good. (Daniel Diaz, GNU Prolog's primary author, also has some excellent research papers on implementing constraint programming.)

Also, for anyone curious about Prolog, I found experimenting with Erlang made many aspects of Prolog make more sense, and vice versa. Erlang was originally a Prolog DSL, and many minor details carried over.
While accurate in a technical chemical feasibility sense, it is misleading to suggest that ammonia is industrially produced from hydrogen. Existing facilities take in methane and output ammonia and CO2. It is true that the chemical reaction used to make ammonia takes hydrogen and not methane, but that fact in isolation ignores a lot of existing infrastructure. Existing ammonia producing plants do the conversion from methane to hydrogen in the same facility that produces the ammonia, making the hydrogen essentially an implementation detail. There are other ways of producing hydrogen industrially, but it is incorrect to think about the hydrogen generating system in isolation when considering existing infrastructure. Hopefully in the future new plants will be built with green hydrogen in mind.
There's no contradiction between what he says and what you say.

My mother is a hardworking, intelligent person (good and honest? Eh...) without a college degree. She'd probably be identified as the person GP would bond with as having gotten unlucky; her parents wouldn't let her go to school for engineering since she was a girl/she had to run away due to being abused, which stuck her in low level jobs. Then she tried to get an associate's in ultrasound technology but the economy crashed and she couldn't cast her net widely enough to make use of it.

Which is its own issue: Even if you meet people who are competent in those positions, they also tend to be very cynical and pessimistic + burnt out. That type of relationship can also be poison, but at the same time the only thing keeping you sane. It's hard.
The unfortunate reality is that law enforcement can track you 24/7 without a warrant. A warrant is only necessary if they use the location data against you in court. Otherwise, it is open season. The tech companies, etc have shown many times that there is a revolving door between advertisement/surveillence, and so on. Often they maintain very close relationships.

Even if it isn’t that bad now, and a warrant is absolutely required without proving the case in court, a warrant could still obtain historical data. So the end result is the same. We are being tracked all of the time and it is stored and sold, sometimes illegally.

Finally, consider the pratice of parallel construction in law enforcement and how easily this entire process can take away your basic constitutional rights.

Good luck proving any of this by the way. Gaslighting is becoming the norm when rights are violated.
>The scope for action remains, but America’s room for maneuver is shrinking.

That quote carries the implication that "action" means massive regulatory actions and harsh export controls which are the only things that would become impossible if AGI became a major economic sector or integral to several of them.
Yeah but you really can't when other people is 95% of people
Why should we expect the minimum wage to afford the median rent?

Ferrari came from racing and were basically just slapping passenger car amenities into performance chassis wherever they fit.

I use rmate + Sublime Text for a pretty seamless remote editing experience when I'm just dealing with a few files. It's really nice when you're editing config files or when you want to skim through log files. I followed a guide I found on Stack Overflow[1].

Your text started "We should be able to evaluate a book" and ended "The opinion I express is more of a generic attitude on life.", which made me believe it was a general statement on all books, not on a limited subset. I think I can be excused for assuming it was a more encompassing attitude.

As for "designed to be complete", I don't know what that means in this context. Perhaps you mean stand-alone, as it does not depend on having access to other resources? Otherwise, the only definition I can come up with is tautological, as it covers everything the author meant it to cover. A technical book on "advanced differential equations" is not complete in that it assumes the reader already has a basic understanding of differential equations.

I have read many technical papers. They are still human documents. They can and often do contain meaning between the lines. I am reviewing some of the literature in my field from the 1960s, and it's easy to infer the social context. For a simple example, in most of the papers refer to a generic chemist as 'he' and clerical staff as 'she'. More subtly, there can be veiled attacks, like when one paper says "it's surprising that X and Y are connected" and then a paper a few years later says "as many of the people who founded X came out of Y, it's not surprising that there's a close connection between the two". It's not hard to read between the lines and infer that the second author is chiding the first author for not knowing the history.

More classically, in 'Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems' Galileo put the words of Urban VIII into the mouth of the character Simplico. The pope and many others interpreted that as a hidden attack on the pope, despite being a book on scientific ideas.

Have you never come across mathematical proofs written by kooks? The language, and frequent references to numerology and other occult philosophical traditions make it effectively impenetrable. Unfortunately, I can't find one easily. Visit your local math department and ask around - it's not uncommon. Sometimes much more sane versions of these get published, like http://www.math.utep.edu/Faculty/sewell/AML_3497.pdf .

In any case, math proofs are supposed to be interesting. Otherwise we would just hook up a theorem prover to a journal publisher. If you look at the early papers in statistics, they use games of chance as examples. Sure, the proofs stand alone, but from the text you can also determine that gambling was not strictly taboo during that era.

BTW, I agree with the statement that none of Zed Shaw's internet persona is evident in this book. By all accounts, it is a good resource for learning how to program. In my cursory scan, I found no hidden or double meanings. However, that's a specific property of this book, I disagree that that's true of every arbitrarily chosen technical book.
It's interesting that you'd use an anonymous account to sling some slander, but I'll answer you:

Yep, that comment thread is great and people should read it for an explanation as to how completely insecure C is. It made me realize that nobody can teach C safely. Not me, not K&R, nobody. The language is completely unsafe by design. If you think K&R could, you should realize that they fixed the code in the book numerous times to make it more secure during it's 40+ printings.

Based on that, I killed my darlings. I should have never started this book as a "C book". I rewrote about 50% of it to instead focus on the things a mere mortal like me can teach:

0. How to learn any programming language quickly with some tricks I know.
1. Secure programming and defensive coding skills, which a broken language like C is perfect for teaching.
2. Testing and reliability.
3. Most of the C I've found safe and useful, and how to avoid UB when possible.
4. Algorithms and how to apply them.
5. And finally building projects as small challenges to get better at C.

So everyone was right, and I adapted the book to denote that. I also started a project, which hopefully I'll find time to do, that is going to catalog all of the UB in C, write a unit test for each one, and then attempt to assess the security failures of it:

https://github.com/zedshaw/cubfail

I'm currently finishing up a book, but this project interests me because what I've seen is most "professional" C programmers end up pulling out UB whenever they are called out on a secure coding practice they fail at. I think a good catalog of how to cause security failure with C UB would be instructive to everyone.

And then we can all just stop using C. It's terrible.

Now that you have this new information, hopefully you'll update your slander.
For a browser engine, "memory safe" as a design criterion massively outweighs "fun to program in" (although I do think Rust is pretty fun). Most critical browser engine vulnerabilities are memory safety issues, and we would be not be doing our jobs if we wanted to have "fun" at the expense of security.

Jonathan Blow's language is not memory safe, and is not trying to be. That may well be fine for his domain, but not for ours.
This statement surprised me. Is it really true? It appears that there is conflicting precedent:

"The first approach is from the 2nd circuit "The Subtractive Approach" (Altai, Nichols) and the other approach is "The Concept and Feel Approach" (Ruth Greeting Cards, Krofft)"

This is fantastically evil. I think you win the dangerous idea of the day award.

It reminds me of the market for answering machine messages, but here you will have a large catalog of celebrities and you can create a personalized video message of them talking about you or someone you know.

A con artist could also buy that to pretend they know a certain person.

So the website would work like this: you pick a celebrity, you pick a theme/context/environment, like Skype call, handheld phone video, at home webcam, etc. and then you pick the message.

You can have actors with similar build as the target celeb acting specific scenes, to make the scenes more unique but still reusable. Payment options differs based on the exclusivity of the acted scene.
A few years of heads up is sufficient to disclose publicly. Full disclosure helps keep companies honest about security.

When I was a teenager I worked at a local ski area parking cars. Every weekend I drove my '92 Blazer to the ski hill at 5am, clocked in, parked cars in the freezing cold, then drove a shuttle bus until the afternoon shift came on. I also worked on Christmas and New Year's Day since those tend to be big ski days.

One Christmas, I got off work around 2pm. I was driving home to open presents, have dinner, etc. when I came across a delivery van on the side of the road, hopelessly spinning its wheels in about 2 feet of heavy snow. It looked as if they had pulled over to get out of the way or check their map and gotten stuck.

I turned around and pulled up across the highway from them. "Need some help?" I shouted. The dirty, scruffy driver who was digging at the wheels with his foot glared at me, "No dammit! We're fine."

I got back in my car and sat and watched for a minute. He jumped in the van and took some anger out on the gas pedal, digging himself even deeper in. I calmly turned around, backed my car up to about 15 feet in front of his van, stepped out, and stood there with a tow-strap in my hand watching him.

Finally, he got out, gruffly accepted the other end of the strap from me, and hooked it up to his van. I got in my Blazer, set it to 4-Lo and pulled him out of the snow and onto the pavement in about 2 seconds flat.

"Thanks," he said. "No problem. Merry Christmas." I said as I rolled the snatch strap back up. Then he reached into his pocket, "Here. Take this.

"No way," I said. "It's Christmas. Get home safe."

"Absolutely not! It's wear and tear on your vehicle." he growled. Figuring I had probably hurt this guy's pride enough already, I just took what was in his hand, wished him a Merry Christmas again, and got back in my car. I threw the money on the seat next to me: three one-dollar bills.

I smiled and laughed all the way home. I made sure to drop those three dollar bills into the next donation box I saw.

It seems like the author is making a similar mistake to "all extrinsic is bad" by thinking that school must be of the form: "study hard for your AP history exam".

I think a lot of the intrinsic stuff he talk about is more about getting rid of demotivational: exams, grades, etc. and focusing on finding something that the students really prefers to work on. I don't find this a pipe dream. If studying AP History isn't interesting, they're going to forget it in a year anyway. The valedictorian of my college class (of 8K people) was very good at taking tests, but had no critical thinking ability or interest in the world around her.

Why is it that 4 year olds ask "why?" questions about the world so frequently and by 8 most of them are reduced to: "Do this work, then play at recess". I think Ken Robinson's TED talk is completely correct in saying that we need to stop the standardized approach to education and let kids explore what they wish on their own terms. Sure - they'll probably need to be encouraged to do something at least productive (no playing games the whole day), but ALL KIDS are able to do this: whether its: language / computers / art / tech - whatever. They need to learn that learning is fun and rewarding.

If they want extrinsic motivation, have them think about their future life. Always remind them that this time is for finding out what being human is and preparing to live for their own happiness - not some societal groupthink.
Yhea, that must be why they're able to find contributers to do things like paravirtualize it. Because it's dying....
I appreciate the sentiment, but "it'll all work out in the end" seems like a warning sign of wishful (poor) thinking.

Work/life balance is great at Shopify because it's a Canadian company. This is a constant around here. I'm leaving a US-based company because, among other things, people still think being a workaholic is cool in the US.
Not only that: "Activision was the first independent, third-party, console video game developer."

Growing up, that was the lens I always saw them through (and I had minor addictions to Laser Blast and River Raid, among others), so to see what they've become, well, you know. Not the same in any way from the David Crane days, just as it is with Atari from the Bushnell days through Warner, then Tramiel, then JTS, Hasbro, etc through present day.

Days long, long gone. The memories are nice.

I don't want to work for anyone again. Do I need a million dollars? probably not, but I'm going to need a business that has enough income coming in to support my (and possibly anyone that works for me).
