I got tired of these 30 minute updates on my mom's computer and installed Linux along side windows. I changed the theme to somewhat look like Windows and she loves it. No more annoying updates.

It's hilarious because when my stepdad has a problem with his windows computer my mom tells him maybe he should install Linux. Not that Linux is some magic OS that fixes every problem but I do think it has come a long was is now much more user friendly than Windows is now.
> "but would anyone wish (or be capable of) living like that today?"

That's not the only possibility. We could re-create some of the aspects, like fire clearing, without actually living that lifestyle. We do part of that already though hunting licenses as proxy other predators. But more people will pay to hunt, or get involved in hunting, than setting fires. (Fire is an easy example, which is why I mention it. Park policies before the 1970s were to suppress all fires.)

If my (uneducated) view is right, that means accepting that there is a required base level of required involvement, in perpetuity, while the rewilding articles I've read suggest that involvement will go to zero.

BTW, after a lot of searching, I found a paper related to this topic. http://www.academia.edu/9495040/The_People_in_Yellowstone_Re... . Based on this snippet:

> Yet, what is omitted in these landscape descriptions, and what is too often overlooked in telling the story of Yellowstone, is the central ecological niche filled by humans.

I thought it would go into more of the actual ecology, but does no. It does describe how the Sheepeater history has been downplayed, and suggests that:

> Re-opening Yellowstone to full-time Native American presence would restore some justice to the history of the land as well as open up new opportunities to learn together about sustainable modes of living and stewarding the land in a cooperative way.

giving as examples "the Diné (Navajo) at Canyon de Chelly in the Grand Canyon and the Oglala Sioux in the Badlands."

http://www.amazon.com/Restoring-Presence-American-Yellowston... appears to also go into related details, but I don't know what.

So an answer to your question of who might live there, with limit on what they can do, might be the descendants of the Native Americans who were kicked out.

At this point I have no more to add. Thanks for the conversation!

> Or perhaps more generally to the lack of something as extensible as do or for/yield. The for/yield construct turned out to be far more valuable to Scala than was realised initially.

Yield doesn't make a whole lot of sense in a systems language with machine-level control over stacks and allocation. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense in a systems language where the idea of jumping out of a stack frame either means doing strange low-level stack jumping tricks (defeating standard CPU/compiler optimizations) or allocating behind your back (which is something that Rust never does). Very early Rust actually tried using yield for iteration and it didn't work.

> We've tried exceptions and macros and found a better way of doing error handling. We've had return in the language and discovered it to be more trouble than it's worth.

We've experimented with these too. And I use return all the time in Rust. It's really useful and I would hate to see it go away.

I think Rust and Scala are just different languages. One's an applications language built on the JVM and the other is a low-level systems language with manual memory management. That difference means that different decisions may be appropriate.

The problem with your method (which this analysis is attempting to although may not actually correct) is what if the difference in the actual earnings between the schools is due to quality of the students admitted into the school rather than the increase in the students earnings that the school causes. For example, if your options are

(A) A school that admits 1000 people with IQ of 200 who go on to earn an average of $100,000 and 100 people with IQ of 50 who go on to earn an average of $1,000

(B) A school that admits 100 people with IQ of 200 who go on to earn an average of $1,000,000 and 1000 people with IQ of 50 who go on to earn an average of $10,000

(A) has median earnings of $100,000 while (B) has median earnings of $10,000, so by your criteria (A) is much better. However, (B) has much better outcomes for both groups of students.

"Tech tree" is a clear metaphor to anyone who has spent some time playing strategy games... but if you're looking to communicate the idea to non-gamers, then maybe "ladder" is a better term? It strongly suggests independence of each technology, which is accurate at least for your first release. The interdependence of a strategy-game tech tree is probably a closer match, but you risk losing some non-gaming readers. Bonus: your terminology of "levels" carries over nicely to a ladder-based system.

The FHIR core team was and continues to be interested in feedback from experienced integrators. I read your comments here occasionally; you're smart, participate!

You use the phrase 'lingua franca' which provides and interesting analogy - it was implemented globally by a group of imperialists who controlled the trade transshipment points of a big chunk of the world by force of arms; is there a corollary in health care?

Actors on the web that have a profit motive to play together have adopted a set of norms (REST, JSON) to manage tasks that are usually trivial compared to medical knowledge representation.

Not only that but from his other comments, the problem wasn't this particular system, but similar projects going forward.
The main difference between Arch and Gentoo from an installation point of view is that Arch generally doesn't include configuration in its packages. So for every package you install, you have to manually set up the config before it will work. Gentoo often has the config set up for you. In my experience, this often makes Gentoo faster to set up than Arch, even though you are building all the packages. I actually moved to Arch, though, because the lack of configuration means that there are less dependencies in Arch (if you want optional dependencies, you have to configure them yourself). For me, this made Arch a bit more flexible. You can also build all your packages by hand using the Arch Build System (ABS). The one thing from Gentoo that I wish was in Arch is the license manager. I liked the idea that it would keep track of the licenses that I agreed to and warned me if I tried to install a package with a different license.

> Now I understand the fact that you can remotely connect somewhere else to do work, but the advent of the microcomputer has meant that you shouldn't need to do that.

And the advent of dynamic libraries has meant we shouldn't need Docker, but, well, that's how it is. It's true that in an ideal world we shouldn't need such a mechanism, but in practice this system works very well for me, and the other ones have been frustrating.

I need a working internet connection anyway to do work: I need everything from software updates to GitHub to IM with coworkers to Google and StackOverflow. And the remote machine shouldn't need any more power than my local one. So my added power consumption is just that of my Chromebook, which is about 10 W.

(Disclosure: I'm a founder of an equity crowdfunding platform so I financially benefit if people use this legislation.)

I don't think startup investing is for everyone, for some of the reasons you mention below. And I agree there's a risk of the ecosystem developing poorly to be a "market for suckers". But I think the JOBS Act is a net good thing and the concerns you highlight are addressable.

The main problem I have with the "old rules" of investing is that wealth is used as a proxy for sophistication. If you happen to have a PhD in Machine Learning, for instance, you're unable to invest even $100 in AI companies unless you're literally a millionaire. With companies staying private longer, most of the growth in high growth startups is only available to the wealthy.

From the data we've seen so far from unaccredited investors trying to invest in startups (but failing the financial requirements) we haven't seen any correlation in financial status and savviness. Unaccredited investors try to invest in the same companies as the accredited investors, and they all avoid the weaker startups. So I'm optimistic about that, at least for the early adopter crowd. And I think as the ecosystem matures fundraising platforms will look less like Kickstarter campaigns and be more optimized for groups of people assessing/vetting startups. (But I'm an optimist and obviously biased.)

The biggest problem with the JOBS Act is the potential for adverse selection. If "the best" startups don't want to touch it with a 10-foot pole for legal reasons, that's a serious issue for the ecosystem. We've been spending a bajillion dollars on legal research and think we have something that makes this nearly a no-brainer for startups, but time will tell. Startup lawyers hate being guinea pigs with new regulations.

At best I think we'll see a lag in mainstream startups using Title III. Instead we'll see small businesses that are underserved by current investors first. With more precedent and familiarity with unaccredited crowdfunding I'm pretty sure we'll see more startups use it. A similar thing happened three years ago with "rich person" crowdfunding – many critics speculated only bad companies would use it, not-bad companies started using it, and now it's generally accepted.

Index funds would be great. The JOBS Act prohibits investment funds explicitly and it's prohibitively expensive to create a fund for early stage startups that unaccredited investors can participate in. However we're working on ways to emulate index funds, and I think it'll be doable by someone in the long-run.

> I would also love to hear why protecting investors from themselves is a good thing. It's an honest question: what is the merit of putting a cap on what you can invest based on your income? Shouldn't that cap be a personal choice?

The reality is these bets have ~10% chance of success. People [in aggregate] have a history of being duped into putting too much money into highly risky bets that they don't understand. That doesn't include the outright scams that have happened in the past.

At the end of the day, we [the taxpayers] are on the hook for things going badly. [i.e. In the form of investigation, entitlements] So yeah, we should have some say in how much is on the hook. So yes, when I'm on the hook for bailing people out of poor decision making...I don't want them to dump their life savings into it.

> Those with an annual income or net worth of less than $100,000 will be allowed to invest up to $2,000 in a 12-month period, or 5 percent of the lesser of their income or net worth, whichever is greater. Those with an income and net worth of more than $100,000 will be permitted to invest up to 10 percent of the lesser of their annual income or net worth.

This is pretty reasonable.

Most people really don't even save up to these limits.

Besides, you really should be dumping the money into tax advantaged accounts anyway. At that point, to hit the cap, we are talking 33% or more of your income being saved. Very, very few people hit that number and they mostly are the /r/FI types who wouldn't touch this except for a minority position in their investments.

However, it could be a problem that not all of the students included in the data are optimizing for that. A school that was very good at helping students increase their potential income, but that attracted mostly students who aren't interested in maximizing income would be ranked low, but it should receive a high rank.
