Agreed. I wasn't assuming he meant they were exactly 50% overvalued. More making the general point that if you call for a correction in the markets long enough, eventually you'll be right. Obviously anyone can look at valuation metrics and compare them to historical averages (and I'm sure his analysis was more advanced than that), but I'm pretty skeptical of anyone who claims they have actionable knowledge of the over- or under-valuation of the market.

I feel I need to balance this post somewhat: I live 1h north of The Park (as the folks here refer to Yellowstone) and we visit frequently, and have been visiting frequently for 15 years. We're first in line to be vaporized then the eruption comes.

Honestly I don't recognize your description above. Yes in the high summer the park will be busy, but we were there three weeks ago and I wouldn't say it was so busy that our visit was affected. I've been to The Louvre and The Vatican Museum and those are at least two orders of magnitude more busy!

Visitor numbers are up in recent years (supposedly a reaction to the recession since fewer people could afford airline-based vacations outside the US, in combination with increasing affluence in parts of Asia leading to more visitors from that part of the world), but since the various road improvements made after Tom Brokhaw's appeal, in my experience it feels less busy than 10 years ago.

Lastly, visit in Winter. You'll hardly see anyone!

For the HN crowd, remember there's almost no cell service in the park so bring your sat phone to keep up with Nagios alerts...
This debate has being going on for a very long time (our first record of it is with the Greeks). I see no reason why why [0,inf) universes cannot have being (an interesting question is whether [0,fin] universes exist, if they do they probably don't have conservation of energy). The mathematics that defines a universe is certainly eternal, but that doesn't mean that only systems that work for time (-inf,inf) need have being. The logic in the article would also seem to imply that the universe cannot have initial conditions in the way we usually think about them, it can only have constants which hold everywhen which, while certainly in line with scientific dogma, we have not sufficiently show (consider searches for variation in the fine structure constant).

I think the author conflates the eternal nature of the mathematics that defines a universe with the temporal nature of that universe, as if time was not itself something that was defined by the mathematics. Our own universe happens to be one of the mathematical entities that is reasonably stable and doesn't wink back out of existence a microsecond after coming into existence or remain a sea of hot quark-gluon plasma for all eternity. Hell, there are probably universes out there without time.

Set, list, array, these are all words to describe collections of numbers, including an NxM array. But a matrix it's a very specific thing, it is not just an array of numbers, it is a mathematical object with defined mathematical functions applicable to it, as such it does define a set of linear combinations.

Similarly, there is a difference between an N-element set of numbers and an Nth dimensional vector.

I understand the ethical conflict here. I'm generally liberal in my views and tend to favour lighter regulation by default, so personally none of these issues sit easily with me. I believe technology is neutral and how it is employed is what counts, so my usual stance is that freedom should be the default and with that freedom must come responsibility. But I'm also a pragmatist.

You can debate the merits of useful technologies that are also dangerous. Many technologies have both negative and positive applications. Sometimes in reality those technologies are used more often for negative purposes. We then get conflicts where the same tool that can protect an individual from harm can also harm others and/or protect the individual from the consequences of their harmful actions. We also get rather different kinds of conflict where a technology can be a net benefit to society because it helps many people but that comes at a high cost a few innocent people who will lose out in some way.

However, when there is nothing to balance in how a technology is employed, when realistically it can only be used for harmful things or it causes wildly disproportionate harm, I think the ethical stance must change as well. Some things can't be fixed afterwards, and in that case mere deterrence isn't always enough and I do think formal regulation can be justified.

No, we live in a culture that loves to engage in cheap, shoddy philosophizing by generalizing incorrectly from facts.

"Apologetic" has connotations of regret. I think this confusion might lead some people to take "apologist" as a derogatory or inflammatory word, when it shouldn't be.

Hey Borui! That sucks, sorry to hear.

A couple of suggestions:

1. Check with lawyer.

2. Review your contract for the license. Specifically if you define where your blog resides. Medium also clearly states "You’re responsible for the content you submit to Medium and assume all risks associated with it, including anyone else’s reliance on its accuracy, or claims relating to intellectual property or other legal rights. By posting, you represent that you own or have the necessary rights to post the content on Medium, and that doing so doesn’t conflict with any other licenses you’ve granted."

3. If your claim is correct, NG probably just made a mistake thinking "oh medium.com, we didn't allow that!", however if you contract very specifically dictates where the blog resides (ULR for example) they are most likely negligent. We can't let content creators simply throw out DMCA notices left and right without them doing their homework:

Think Long and Hard Before Filing a DMCA Notification or Counter-Notice

Please think carefully before submitting a claim or counter-notice, especially if you aren’t sure whether you are the actual rights holder or authorized to act on a rights holder’s behalf. There are legal and financial penalties for fraudulent and/or bad-faith claims. Please make sure you are the actual rights holder, or you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed in error, and that you understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.[0]

> * Contrary to some of the FUD being posted in this thread, the regulations don't appear to be about custom firmware for the UIs or even signalling on a device*

This is incorrect. Various sites have done a really shitty job at linking directly to the relevant documents, but see this: https://apps.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=1UiSJRK869Rsy...

Note that vendors are required to "Describe in detail how the device is protected from 'flashing' and the installation of third-party firmware such as DD-WRT."

This is specifically about blocking all use of custom firmware.
This is exactly what I am arguing.

There is no reading where Laws of the United States refers exclusively to U.S. Code. As I said, to show that I'm wrong, one only needs to provide a valid parsing of the sentence where United States refers exclusively to a monolithic entity known as the federal government (note that "federal" does not appear anywhere in the document). If you look at the other usages of United States in the document, it becomes even more clear that it refers to the States as a collective and not to a separate entity.

The other thing someone could show that would prove me wrong, is a Particular Case that the US Supreme Court will never be able to hear. I haven't seen anyone even attempt to show such a case. Some hypotheticals and lots of pushing words around, but no actual Case.
I'm not ignoring it at all. It's my point that, if those CBers couldn't modify their equipment, many of those issues would not have come up. Being an illegal operator is a different story unrelated to this topic.
My point wasn't about their efficiency for implementing things but the trust that Google should cultivate instead of snooping on people's searches. If they are monitoring that, what else they are monitoring? And are they monitoring searches from potential competitors?

That's not right. Look at this: https://apps.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=1UiSJRK869Rsy...

One of the requirements for hardware vendors is "Describe in detail how the device is protected from 'flashing' and the installation of third-party firmware such as DD-WRT."

They are explicitly trying to illegalize custom router firmware, even though all the things that need to be prevented could be handled by separate hardware lockouts that wouldn't affect the legitimate uses of DD-WRT.
There is nothing in that FCC paper that says you won't be able to change the operating system and that is specifically mentioned in section 24.
Is this really true? When I navigate to https://certplusrootcag1-test.opentrust.com/ I see the root certificate is "Certplus Root CA G1", not "OpenTrust Root CA G1"...
No, he just asserts it. And it's probably impossible to prove.
e-Guven was never compromised, it just still uses outdated practices like issuing directly from the root and expires in 2017 anyway. I once even caught an 1024-bit DSA cert being issued from this root by mistake.

The relevant passage is "Describe in detail how the device is protected from 'flashing' and the installation of third-party firmware such as DD-WRT." The FCC is specifically mandating that all custom firmware must be blocked.

Bitcoin's underlying problem as a monetary system is the same that exists with commodity based currencies like gold.

Almost all economical models that exists out there always reach a point of indeterminacy. What happens when there is massive inequality in the bitcoin world ?

Money has one important purpose :

1) Efficient allocation of labor for society's benefit.

To achieve it we need to establish something that can be used as a source of value.

Bitcoin solves the problem of source of value but we know from history that it doesn't always solve the problem of efficient labor productivity.

Since by definition society requires centralization to direct its purpose. FDR during the great depression had the same problem of a lot of people having liquidity with no need to direct it for labor productivity.

If we lived in a bitcoin world it would be impossible for governments to mobilize itself to direct resources to solve social problems.

"You became rich from digging oil from the ground and making computers ? Too bad I need your money to solve Climate Change and feed the poor"

The blockchain is interesting - I think it can solve public trust issues like when it comes to e-voting and reaching decentralized concession. But when it comes to economics it just seems silly that a completely decentralized system makes sense.
> The papers that do replicate are tightly clustered a small number of researchers (Kahneman & Tversky)

This doesn't surprise me at all. Kahneman wrote a book, "Thinking, Fast and Slow", in which he spends a long time talking about how most psychologists and social scientists do not understand the basics of statistics and therefore end up with flawed conclusions.
The pro IQ argument I hear is that nothing else predicts success in life as well.
Right, make it illegal to operate your device in a way that causes interference. Don't make it illegal to modify your device and don't make it illegal to manufacture a device capable of being modified.

There is a huge difference here.

I think part of Markus' problem stems from a hidden desire that men of our generation secretly have. This desire is to become actualized through a woman or relationship. However, this desire will never be fulfilled, because a woman will never be complete or actualized herself.

Pop culture advances the trope of a woman who can save a man, but in reality this will never happen. A woman will always be incomplete, at least the vast majority of women steeped in Western culture. So the answer is to self-actualize, rather than to look externally.

What I meant was something different. The difference is that saying that "IO is a monad" is wrong in the mathematical sense too. IO is not a monad - the combination of (IO, bind, return) is the monad. It only makes sense to say the above in Haskell where there can be only one instance per type.

The set of natural numbers N is not a monoid; {N, +, 0} is a monoid. The set may, at best, be "monoidal" (i.e. there exists associative binary operator <> and a set member ZERO such that for all elements of the set, ZERO <> x == x <> ZERO == x).

So as a beginner, it doesn't even help to try and read the "70 years of literature" on the subject, because what you read there does not match (I'm reading about a set, an operation and an element of the set - and all I have here is the actual set. Where are the operation and the element? Oh they are defined and passed implicitly for the type. Oh so the type isn't the monoid, its at best MONOIDAL)
Reaction time is good in general, but rather useless in the traditional IQ tests, i.e. culture-neutral multiple choice pattern-based questions. If you are 25% faster than your neighbour it gives you the benefit of the additional 25% of the reaction time, not total answering time, which is usually much larger in the context of IQ tests. Or nearly any test, for that matter.
Now, if you add a realistic memory hierarchy model, it can be used for a far deeper performance analysis than the official OpenCL tools are providing.
4.0 is the new 1.0 – NodeJS
A couple of weeks ago I talked to the CEO of startup in NYC building a proprietary blockchain-like protocol/product for banks.

According to him if a bank interacts with the bitcoin blockchain in any way (mining and/or posting transactions), they are violating a host of AML and KYC regulations because they do not know the identity of other players on the network.

Apparently the claim could be made that the bank is collaborating with all other miners/transaction creators, and the bank must know certain information about these people. Also if someone posted a transaction from Iran, and the bank helped mine that transaction, that's a big problem.

I don't know if his logic is correct, but it seems many of those in the bitcoin community are underestimating the regulation hurdle that wall street will need to figure out.
I understand the intention was to create a DML interface for DDL, but I dont really understand why. I guess batch DDL operations are a little easier with meta, but it seems like a lot of work for relatively little gain. There is also the issue that expensive DDL operations (e.g. ALTER TABLE) are hidden behind a DML interface potentially making it easier to shoot yourself in the foot.

Were there problems higher up in the web stack that required the functionality meta provides?

Financial Fridays: The WTF on This Stock Market ‘Crash’
Yes, I think typical intro classes focus too much on the rows and not enough on the columns. We learn about change of basis where each element in the new vector is a dot product with a row of the matrix. But you can also look at the new vector as a weighted combination of all the columns in the matrix.

You mentioned opengl and it's a perfect example of why you need to learn both. The Model matrix is column-oriented - if Z is up in the model but Y is up in the world, you need a Y unit vector in the third column of the matrix. The View matrix is row-oriented - each row is an axis of the camera's orientation. The columns perspective also makes it easier to understand homogeneous coordinates.

That page states that it's a set of general guidelines, not hard, definite rules. All of the examples, like flashing dd-wrt, are essentially asking, have you thought about x, y, and z? Tell how so. It's almost certainly perfectly acceptable to state, "we use a discrete chip for our wifi system without any way to upgrade the firmware, so if a user does flash their system, the wifi chip cannot be made to drive outside of legal parameters." A hardware lockout is definitely one way to comply with the guidelines.
But most people take comfort in having almost meaningless names. I can't blame them, when I first saw FP, I was lost in a see of nonsense.
