Very nice collection. I really love the QL keycaps. People say the keyboard wasn't nearly as nice to type as it was to look at. Also wish more computers would allow me to slide the keyboard under the computer.
The two companies you named exist and are profitable entirely because Musk was able to drive government spending in his direction (launch contracts and subsidies, respectively).
1. Write for the computer

2. Write for the human
Interesting in and of itself.

The only reason, though, that this is necessary is due to public perception.
A bunch of bots battling it out at an online poker table isn't by itself a concern for the online poker site - they get paid either way - the concern arises because the customers, the public, won't play if they perceive that bots are being used.
(Bots allow collusion and stealing from other players - not stealing from the house)

Interesting article - I've seen enough good poker players to know that people can do exceptional things like this - I don't find the story that unbelievable.

(What I find more unbelievable is that someone with that much skill didn't have bots going on somewhere....)
Wow, why all the downvotes? They were mentioned in the article and my comment was genuine.
That's a very good question, and one I think everyone needs to be asking.

I can't claim to be an expert on education, but we can all speak from experience. Being currently in the educational system, I honestly think it's about inspiration vs. motivation. The current system is fairly good at motivating students, but this is on a superficial level - grades, getting into a good college/job, or the threat of failure. In general, though, I can't say that I've really been inspired to learn, apart from a few teachers whom I deeply respect.
The crucial difference between the 2 - motivation only works as long as the motivator is there, and people have no problem with cheating. Inspiration is what drives people, and what education is missing.

So where does inspiration come from? Both internally and externally - the intrinsic value or joy of learning, and being able to apply what we learn to life. I think there are 2 places where real improvement could be seen:

TL;DR - In short, I think we need to develop internal inspiration when students are young, and then tie that into external inspiration as we get older.

1. Childhood education - Learning is something that really needs to be made fun, and internalized. I think that this is where most people gain an initial passion for learning. There is an intrinsic joy to truly learning something or solving a problem, but we need to teach perseverance - there was some study which showed that, given an impossible problem, U.S. students spent far less time on it than some students from other countries. Anecdotally, though, we tend to give up too easily; most of the rewards are from completion, but we never get there in the first place. We need to show our kids both the value in challenging yourself and also the value in the end result. I think a large part of this comes from parents and your home environment, rather than formalized education.

2. Middle/HS - Most of us have that one teacher that really inspired us. I think we need to look for teachers that may not be great at teaching, but rather are visionaries and are able to inspire. In the end, all of us learn in different ways, and arguably a lot of it is done outside of the classroom. Especially given the problem of limited time, teachers need to in inspire students first, and teach second - if a student wants to learn, they will, regardless of their resources or environment. Granted, that's hyperbole, but think about the lengths you go to if you really want to do something. The best teachers are the ones that are truly passionate about what they teach, and are able to impart that on the students. We need to show students that what they are learning has real value, and can be applied to whatever the student is interested in.
This looks awesome. My biggest initial fear (not having used it yet), is that I would inadvertently package up something like my private SSH key.
You left out the set-up line: "Fundamentally, there are 10 things about software:"
It reminds me of the Ermine Statifier. http://www.magicermine.com/sesl.html. This tools is so useful when you have to for example run tcpdump or a QT app on an embedded system without installing a TON of libraries or messing with LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
You've had really good luck with people refusing to give you names.

(Viaweb was originally called Webgen, but another business was already using that name (and had the trademark, I think). They offered the other Webgen something absurd like 5% of the company to let them keep using that name. They said no, so they changed to Viaweb. I think Viaweb is a better name, and it almost certainly wouldn't have made them 5% more successful if they had been called Webgen.)
Most web servers are bottlenecked on Io and memory. Assuming the bottleneck is that your app servers are starved for more data ( as opposed to trying to push out too much data to clients,) then a big part of your request cycle is waiting. Waiting for db, waiting for memcache, waiting for web service, waiting for disk to return some file, etc. The other thing is that your app servers will gobble ram. This is less true with copy on write, but ruby implementations and rails are usually very memory hungry. Node is not. Node is more like rack than rails, so it isn't fair to compare the two.

Hours are long, you're on-call 24/7.

Your co-founder might want out and take almost all the equity. Even so you still must keep helping with funding.

Even if everything goes well with your co-founder, you put a lot of money into it but your shares gradually and inevitably unvest, till 18 years later you've got 0% equity.

Even so you might be expected to shell out a couple of rounds of funding ("we're getting traction and in 4 years we'll be getting revenue").

Then, although you aren't liable for your "startup"'s actions anymore, your reputation is forever linked to it.

What's the upside?
I agree with your instinct about the cause of most hypertension. Most Americans are fat; obesity causes hypertension; therefore, most Americans who are hypertensive are so because of their obesity. With regards to your point about the soccer player, I cannot agree. You listed plenty of fine caveats to your point - in fact, the caveats outweigh your argument, in my opinion. These caveats only increase as you transition from a 25-y/o soccer player to a 50-y/o soccer player who "looks" 25. But perhaps that is just my American physician-style bias - to err on the side of caution. Most diseases that you and I will ever need to worry about do not have dermatological findings, so just looking at a person and noting a lack of obesity or other derm findings is a pretty poor screening test for ruling out disease.

High cholesterol primer: it is the most important disease based on the objective criterion of "causes the most deaths," has no physical findings, except for the 1/1000 who have recessive mutations that will cause them to have a heart attack in their 20s-30s unless they take statins. 80% of the cholesterol in your body is produced by your body, so you cannot typically blame diet for hypercholesterolemia.

Your post seemed to imply that Type II diabetes is caused only by obesity; this is not true, but it feels true because the recent obesity epidemic has made obesity the most important cause of T2D. Unfortunately for the patients, it's not the only cause.

The metabolic syndrome is a rule-based diagnosis: you must meet 3 out of 5 criteria, only one of which is obesity. Thus, you can have the metabolic syndrome without being obese. These patients are actually very interesting, because it suggests that they naturally have the same maladaptive gene expression profile that is caused by obesity. This is an opportunity for research into the molecular biology of obesity-induced diseases.

As an aside, we do treat obese hypertensives with ACE inhibitors and other proven medications, even though we know their hypertension is caused by obesity. Doing so still reduces their cardiovascular disease and kidney damage. If they lose weight and are no longer hypertensive, then we stop the meds. In the meantime, we do what we can to protect their vital organs.

Oh, also - congrats on losing so much weight! Most people have a devil of a time losing even 1/3 of that (and keeping it off for an appreciable amount of time is another story entirely.) What was your trick for losing it, and for keeping it off?
"Terrain" to me means "topographic". That's not the same as hiking maps, it mostly means that it has elevation contours.
Parisians are usually the rudest towards visitors during the summer. And rightfully so, the tourists in July truly embody every negative stereotype ascribed to tourists, multiplied by millions.

Many people seem to consider the San Francisco area pretty scenic, and kinda urban, and conducive to hacking, and tons of good, cheap food... The only problem is that it's an alternate climatological universe where it can seem very cold in the summer.
Wait for what? A nationwide calamity?

Color has some similar elements, but Viggo is quite different.

With Viggo we are introducing new paradigm where you only see and manage content in the air around you, where air is like an ad hoc shared resource for collaboration. There are no profiles, users and user connections, etc... - only pure content in the air.

Also, Viggo is not just about "videos and photos", we see a greater opportunity in redefining how content is shared in real world interactions. You can share documents, contacts, links, you can create collections ("folders in the air")...

I love this quote from the article: 'The coach of the Yale rowing team has a saying about high school recruiting: "7:20 2,000m time, 720 SATs. 6:20 2,000m time, 620 SATs."'

In other words, it pays to be a winner.
Sorry, who thinks your brain gets better as it ages and why would anyone think that?
It's ridiculous. Differences exist; there's nothing wrong with that and people shouldn't discriminate because of it, but denying their existence against scientific evidence is simply ignorant.
are you seriously comparing receiving emails and voicemails from shitty recruiters to the pimping of prostitutes ...

i think you're proving my point more than refuting it.
