Mental exercise really is the right way to describe it. When I started bouldering, I always assumed it was purely about strength. But knowing the right way to approach a route, and how to position your weight, can be the difference between finishing easily or getting exhausted after a few holds.
> Watching users of Tweetbot heckle the team for daring to charge $5 for a 8-month upgrade only reaffirms that belief. It’s a sad sight of entitlement, but at this point also entirely predictable.

Jumping right to negative entitlement seems like a bit much. I think it's a disconnect between what users and developers think the product is, and the lack of support contracts or policies in app markets. When a potential buyer is evaluating the value of an app they're going to consider how long the app will likely be supported, updated, and fixed. Since the current trend with most apps is a practically indefinite support cycle people evaluate the value of an app with that assumption in mind. If they later find out later that every x months they have to pay to get the latest version and that the app is essentially subscription based it drastically changes the price/value ratio, and for many users, had they known, it means they would have never purchased the app originally.

Edit: looking at the reading list on the site I might stop mocking the "programming, motherfucker" crowd. There's a lot of good works on design, analysis, and engineering techniques referenced. So, the cool, catchy line is misleading and even they will depend on Things Other Than Programming. Hope the site gets more popular.
From the beginning, though, this was a known tradeoff that one could rationally evaluate when deciding whether or not to buy into that ecosystem.

Climbing seems (outsider here) to provide a good combination of technical and physical challenges. I've been getting back into martial arts (BJJ and, now, wrestling, hopefully boxing soon) and have found the same thing there. Ballroom dance, again, provides a nice combination of physical and technical challenges.

I think that's what appeals to programmers (and similarly technically inclined folks) about these hobbies and sports. You learn some basics, you develop the skill and strength to perform them, and then you start applying the knowledge in new and more creative ways to solve the problems you face on the boulder, in the ring or on the dance floor.

I bought a house in Salt Lake City in June. Zillow (and Trulia, etc.) have piss-poor integration in this market, which left our house marked available for weeks after our closing date. I had to chase someone away who was snooping around my back yard 6 weeks after moving in because they thought the home was unoccupied (we hadn't moved in because I was remodeling parts of the basement).

They may provide a better UI than the abysmal MLS sites your agent recommends, but they don't do much more in (as the article suggests) the +60% of markets they don't have listing contracts with.

Look at this graph. By having the ice melt you'll have more salty water. Even if it is all fresh, the density maximum is close to 5 degrees Celsius. Ocean water is warmer in most of the oceans.

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas - more water vapor will mean even higher temperatures, which would lead to more melting.

Do you mean the 2007-08 housing crash, or something else in 2005? If the 2008 one, it had a lot more to do with the financial side than the actual real-estate side, so changes in the real-estate sales process aren't likely to fix that problem. The "primary" dollar value involved in housing-price declines was significant but not really enough to cause an economy-destabilizing financial crisis. But the primary price declines in actual real-estate were multiplied many times over because the mortgages were all piled into heavily leveraged securities, priced based on risk models that turned out to be very inaccurate. That caused a crisis that ultimately involved dollar amounts greater than the total value of all the involved real estate.

A loose analogy: if you buy stock with 100:1 leverage, and the stock price declines 10%, you lose 1000% of your original investment. The big problem here wasn't really the 10% decline in stock values (significant but not catastrophic), rather the fact that you had 100:1 leveraged exposure.
Is it really so inscrutably impossible to be nice?
> Except it's not hoarded, it's reinvested. The consumption of created value is deferred while accruing interest at a market rate. This interest rate is an important signal to the greater economy weather to start long-term projects now or later. If interest rates are too high, big projects will be financed later while simultaneously incentivizing value producers to defer consumption. To me this is the best regulator for why you don't "drink the bottle of water all at one time".

Re hoarding: Some is reinvested. Much is consumed along the way in management fees, reserve requirements, and financial institution profits. It is not optimal. The middle men will be eliminated eventually.

Re Interest Rate: The rate is an important signal for bank profits too. Essential to them in fact. There are other signals. And deferring a big project to later may be fine if you are building a high rise in downtown, but delay can be deadly if you're trying to reduce pollution, cure cancer, map a genome, ect.

> Money is a naturally occurring phenomena amongst rational actors. Any highly marketable commodity that can be expected to be traded at a later date can act as a form of money - for example, cigarettes in prison. I can't imagine someone wanting their cigarettes to be prone to dissolving.

Have you ever smoked a 5 year old cigarette? As for other examples, you can make a bet that oil will be $50 in 5 years, many do, and many lose their shirts(and some make a killing). Volatility rules.

>I personally wonder if we can trade without money at all. For example, trading digital certificates that represent real-world assets (stocks, commodities). Prices can be denominated in any asset, and payments go thru a clearing house that matches and settles trades in real time. This would let me go to Subway and buy a sandwhich denominated in Apple stock that I payed for with shares of crude oil stock.

It is certainly possible...but stock has its own issues. It is a form of hybrid capital and subject to all kinds of accounting shenanigans.
You've actually hit upon (part of) the answer right there. While IPv4 was designed around the (then) new 32 bit processors of the day, the committee that came up with v6 decided to ignore the underlying hardware reality. There's no corresponding type in C (or the underlying hardware, without going into SSE) that can store a v6 address natively. It just acts as a handbrake and makes it that much harder to implement. The question should be turned around, why didn't they design a protocol that could fit into a built-in type in C? After all, we've only just "run out" of v4 addresses about 20 years after it was first predicted to happen. Going to 64 bit would have kicked the can another few decades down the road, and could have led to a much faster implementation. You can't blame the "designers" of C (since there aren't any really, it's just the CPU manufacturers), it's the IETF that ignored the reality of hardware and programming languages.

Privacy extensions, which use random, changing, local address instead of MAC, are enabled by default in most recent OSes. It means that individual devices can't be identified and can't be tracked across networks.mThe network prefix is assigned by ISP and has the same exposure as the public IPv4 address with NAT. The result is that privacy is the effectively the same as IPv4.
True. I wonder if that's changed. Either way, they could still go through DOJ to sue for more (https://twitter.com/dronelaws/status/651474756554858496)

Point being, this will just dissuade people from trying anything new in the space, when sensible legislation should be setup to stop people from trying "stupid" things in this space. The existence of sensible legislation seems to be lost in this media fervor.
If I have one piece of advice to give (that you probably already know), it is to have a sound way to measure results and ensure that you are improving. Usually that involves custom tooling that falls within the integration test layer. So if 'inspecting the differences' is a reproducible and statistically reliable way to know that you are good - then you probably are!
I was under the impression that the MAC address-based IPv6 addresses were only link-local.

Your public IP would be assigned randomly from your ISP's pool, would it not? It would just be per-end-device now, not per-router.

I like the Replay cameras, you can set them to overwrite old files, and to turn on and start recording on external power. So basically I just had to plug it in every time I went out on the bike, and then unplug it when I was done.

Unfortunately after about 2 years the plug on my XD1080 stopped working so I can't reliably charge it :/ I'll probably replace it with the Prime X when my budget allows.
I use this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GNWO6S6

> For example, in the 80s I may have watched TV while reading the newspaper. As we have added more types of media in the form of mobile, video and games, we just add more potential "double counting" (or even triple counting!) scenarios.

Exactly. I sometimes find myself watching a TV series while simultaneously reading and commenting on HN, while simultaneously playing a slow-paced videogame, while simultaneously browsing Facebook and holding several conversations on it. I often try to bundle media that don't overlap cognitively together, like series episode + HN, in order to save time.

"We have the safest airspace in the world, and everyone who uses it must understand and observe our comprehensive set of rules and regulations."

tl;dr: We're safe because our rules are convoluted and scare people away.
I don't see it being very long until all vehicles will be required to have a 'black-box' like aircraft.

Basically, in the event of an accident that is serious, both black boxes from each vehicle can be submitted to ...somebody, and the the account of what happened will be recorded in perfect detail. This would probably be able to settle fault in a high percentage of cases.

Now for the case of people jumping out in front of vehicles like they do in Russia...many vehicles will have cameras and lasers on board which will be used both as safety features (automatic collision avoidance) and autonomous driving. Every bit of data from these will also be recorded.

There will come a point in the future, (< 10 years), where most vehicles on the road will have all of these features and disputed accident claims, fraud, people suing the driver after they intentionally jump in front of a vehicle, will all be the past. Data storage is cheap.

It will also change all statistics about insurance and driving. New models will come about, including the insurance per mile, etc. And How much of the time is spent under fully autonomous driving versus driving yourself. If you are fully autonomous on most streets all the time, I can imagine a very low insurance premium.
Totally agree-- thanks for checking it out! :)
I agree with all of this and I agree that one could probably construct a +EV strategy this way. I'm just surprised that the strategy could pay off so shortly. I would imagine that you'd get a scenario where you had a 1% chance of winning but a payoff of > 100 to 1. So +EV but still likely to take a while to come to fruition.
speed can probably be accurately inferred from video evidence anyway.
I suspect that myself, and there's a discussion I've had with him since.

As with other of his observations on human behavior generally, Yonatan's take here is both perceptive and nuanced. I have discussed with him (on G+) the point that it took so long for him to state this, his reponse being that Google itself never suggested he shouldn't, but that he wrote this when he felt the time was right. My sense is that there's self-censorship going on, and yes, I self-censor myself (under various identities, for various reasons).

Regardless of when he joined the project, Yonatan's used G+ heavily over the past four years or so and seems to have a pretty good sense of its strengths and weaknesses.
That is a really confusingly written article, but the study does seem to say what is claimed.
Also, "prove you know something secret without exposing it" instantly suggests Zero Knowledge Proofs. That is precisely the problem they solve, and it's a problem orthogonal to encryption.
They do abuse engines a lot for testing (http://www.gereports.com/post/101784637445/where-jet-engines...) and the golf ball hail seems pretty challenging. I doubt an R/C drone is going to give the engine much trouble. Not that it couldn't damage the engine, just that it wouldn't take out the airplane.

Personally I think the drone discussion is more about the safety concerns they aren't talking about rather than what they do talk about. A lot of security scenarios are compromised if you can accurately deliver a small amount of payload from the air into an arbitrary space.

I think the FAA would do well to allow property owners, or their designated agents, a free hand to do what ever they want to drones over their property at altitudes below 400'. Whether it is shoot them out of the sky, or capture them with nets and resell them on the used drone market. Drone pilots would self limit their flying activities at that point I suspect.

>It's pretty common that when someone learns our daughter has autism they say "She's so beautiful, she won't have any trouble". I'm still not sure what that means.

We get the "she's beautiful" thing often as well. If I had to guess, I think it's a reference to the fact that her disability may be harder to recognize than some others (Downs Syndrome or a prominent physical disability come to mind) and she'll be able to blend in when she's not exhibiting more noticeable and negative autistic behaviors (stimming, vocal stimming, self-injurious behavior, aggression). She has a friend with Downs and I like to watch how other children and adults react to the them when we're in public together.

The other thought I get when I hear "beautiful" is, in basic terms,"her looks are a good quality that helps balance the less attractive aspects of her behavior". We're very conscious of keeping up her appearance (hygiene, clothes) primarily for the purposes of the school and others who take care of her. Since she doesn't speak, keeping her looking cared for at least lets caretakers know that she is loved and we expect her to be treated as a human being. I imagine parents of typical children might have that same philosophy, but I can only speak to my experience.
