So just a question and this probably is stupid. But what to investors expect to gain from an investment into a nonprofit? Are the expecting to get their money back somehow? Are they expecting to get more than the money they invested back, and if so where would that come from? Or is it basically equivalent to a large charitable donation they are making, where none of their investments will ever come back to them in monetary form?

But this isn't some new, untested regime: this is an ordinary metal cavity with some sort of resonant electromagnetic wave inside. There's nothing about it that I can see that would lead me to expect results here that would so fundamentally contradict the countless experiments that have been performed on similar systems over many decades. If the folks doing this work had some compelling (or even just plausible) mechanism to suggest why this system ought to be radically different, that would be one thing, but I've seen no indication that they do: it's just a metal tube and some EM waves.

This isn't some grand battle pitting hidebound theorists unwilling to imagine flaws in their sacred equations against bold experimentalists seeking to test those models against the real world for the first time. This is a fundamental incompatibility between the best-tested mathematical models in human history (QED agrees with experimental tests to 11 digits of precision, and both sides of that agreement represent stunningly careful work) and a marginal signal from a fairly complicated system with a whole range of possible sources of systematic error.

So why do so many people seem so willing to throw out those decades of heroic experimental work in this case? (I honestly don't understand it. You're clearly passionate about the value of experimental evidence: why does the hard-won evidence that we already have carry so little weight?)
Specifically, Amazon's marketplace subsidizes everything Amazon sells itself. That 15% cut for listing and checkout is a hell of a rentier model, and makes up for their losses in things like warehousing and shipping actual goods. If you want to compete with Amazon as a virtual big box, you're just doubling down on a model that doesn't even work for them.

Mayer still defends remote-work ban
What I meant was they are ancient documents and thus fall within the domain of ancient history. That is, they are not part of modern history, if that makes sense?

Whether they are hagiographies or not is for you to judge. Personally, the gospels more often than not present their subjects in a difficult light. For example, the Messiah (King) is to be crucified. This would have been anathema and foolishness to most Jews and Greeks of the day.

One does not consider a document to be historical merely because it claims to be, or exclude a document merely because it fails to do so (as you require of the gospels other than Luke). Any and all documents available should be considered and weighed appropriately. And in fact, incidental evidence should be given all the more weight.

You hit the nail on the head. We Americans are religious folks, and the Constitution is our own home-grown religious text.

Look at the veneration for the founding fathers, even elsewhere in these comments. That's religion, not thoughtful political discourse!
First, apologies if my earlier comments came off as negative and harsh (along with others in this thread). I think what you're working on with Urbit looks very exciting!

> I want to stick to ordinary American high-school math as I remember it.

I can see how that would make sense, but it strikes me, personally, as an odd choice. IMNHO there are two levels of "useful" math - primary school and college. Most of what I associate with (senior) high school math ends up in the middle, mudding the waters. FWIW I agree with you on the concrete example of "projection" -- I'm not sure I agree that it's not a good term to use after some more reflection - but it's not something that I would readily reach for.

In the more general sense, it appears to me that what you're covering is basic CS, some stuff related to data types - and some basic graph theory and discrete mathematics. It strikes me as odd to invent parallel terms for things that aren't all that different, rather than just try to explain in terms of well-established nomenclature (introducing that as needed). Nothing wrong with building from basic "traditional" high-school math, but at the same time one shouldn't go to great lengths to avoid basic graph concepts.

> If I saw the three-sentence definition of a noun, I'd assume it was acyclic, but others as we've seen above would assume it was cyclic. This stuff is hard.

I suppose I'm not entirely convinced this noun concept is all that aptly named. Sure, I can see having two different texts, one that invokes ordered pairs, structs and pointers etc - and one that tries to avoid such details -- it just feels that you sometimes go overboard in re-naming things, rather than naming them.

I do agree a balance needs to be found - Haskell texts for example - tends to build from a solid cloud, on which a ladder is erected onto a branch of a tree standing on the back of turtles, and then said ladder is pulled up as the enlightened author concludes the simple tour of simple concepts.

I do think the sidebar on ordered pairs, lists and lisp is very apt. Obviously that'd make absolutely no sense to the average high-schooler?

> The probable future of this text is that we release all the chapters pretty much as they're written, then edit it and turn it into a book.

This sounds like an excellent plan. As mentioned, releasing early is good.

I'm afraid I've come off as more negative than intended again -- I do think that there are new concepts, or mixes of concepts within urbit -- but for now it is kind of hard to see what is "new", what is "tweaked" and what is merely "renamed" (or re-invented, or independently re-discovered).
What a bunch of bull. René Girard was a big, big charlatan. Read this instead of this article:

http://www.pseudo-sciences.org/spip.php?article1629 ("Un allumé qui se prend pour un phare").

At its core, the concept of imitation has a big origin problem: it's turtles all the way down, all over again. And the method of Girard is to select and twist quotes that suit him while ignoring others. Read Girard only once you're very familiar with his source material, not before.

Also:

> He was elected to the Académie Française in 2005, an honor previously given to Voltaire, Jean Racine and Victor Hugo.

Many great people were elected to the Académie Française in the 400 years since its foundation. But many others were not great at anything besides promoting themselves.
Yeah, Apple uses rubber instead of plastics to wrap their cables. And it appears to have two problems. The common one with rubbers that they deteriorate by moisture. And it seems like the thickness of the layer is about as thin as the rubber's consistency allows. Meaning if you chip it in any way, the whole cable wrapper will slowly start to unravel.

I've now bought a couple of Nohon braided cables from Aliexpress and they seem to hold together nicely. But of course them being cheap Chinese cables they are finicky with iPhone 6+, but work fine with my 5s.
There are stories at Amazon from the old timers about the good old days when they would make shopping trips to B&N or Borders to buy books that they listed as in stock but never actually had in stock. When I first started working there, I felt like it was a cool story about how scrappy and hard working they were. In retrospect, I think it was more likely just a terrible waste of time and cash.
If this is Palantir you're talking about (I'm not really sure), I do think your concerns are overblown. I know a some people who work or worked there.

1) Most of Palantir's customers are ordinary companies, local/state governments, other types of organizations, or other federal organizations that are not the CIA/NSA/FBI/DEA/Homeland/TSA/military. You do have to admit that at least for these clients, Palantir can be construed as doing good (e.g. streamlining state government tech or something).

2) Your friend can leave any time.

3) One engineer I know who left after a short stint spoke really highly about the amount of technical growth he got and the amount of responsibility/autonomy he was given as a new employee, in addition to the respect his opinions were given by his peers. It also helps that Palantir has a really great brand name in Silicon Valley.

If he truly does want to go there, it does seem almost overly-moralizing to try really hard to convince him not to go, especially if it would really help his career.

You can shift your notions of "qualified".

You can hire junior engineers and mentor and train them to be successful.

Then you can proactively advertise your positions to programs and organizations that have more minority participation.

Of course this takes more work for you, the hiring manager, in sourcing and on boarding. But there should be a burden on every hiring manager to correct the systemic diversity problems.

A success will be extremely impactful for the individuals you hire and for the overall health of the team.

Looking through the code and the issue tracker (https://github.com/letsencrypt/letsencrypt) I can't help but think they are approaching this wrong... In an attempt to make the certificate install completely hands off and fully automated, they are baking in a tremendous amount of complexity on top of a fundamentally brain-dead simple process.

I need to generate a private key, send you the public key, and get you to sign it. Somewhere in there, I need to prove I have control of the HTTP server on the existing A record, or that I can add a DNS TXT.

I can't say I'm a fan of shipping a SimpleHttp server baked into the tool, listening on port 80 (so run as root) which is also trying to deal with account authentication at the same time as generating the CSR, scanning directories of private keys to try to figure out how to sign the ACME nonce, etc. Getting this 'letsencrypt-auto' process to be able to receive and respond to HTTP requests on my domain is a different class of problem than getting a specially crafted file into a specific path on my domain. The former is clearly much more difficult in production than the latter....

Why not simply a script which;

- Takes as it's input the CSR and privkey files
- Does an HTTP GET to retrieve the ACME nonce
- Sign the nonce, generate the file you need to put on your webserver and tells you
the path to put it.
- Prompt to 'Press ENTER once the file is in place...'
- HTTP GET to indicate file is in place, server verifies, and returns the completed
full-chain cert.

(An optional parameter with a path to copy the signed-nonce file would make the script non-interactive.)

This could be written in a few lines of bash, right, assuming you could find an openssl command line which could sign the nonce in the correct form?

Keep in mind you have to repeat this process every 6 months with your live site, so what we want are simple composable / pluggable tools which don't try to own too much of the overall process, right?

Alternatively, ship two separate scripts (le-verify, le-certify) which create the ACME validation file and retrieve the cert once the file is in place, respectively.

I'm also not quite sure, why is there any concept of a user account on letsencrypt at all? Hopefully it is optional, I don't see what in this process requires that I register an "account" with them?

Howto Full Text Searching in Symfony2 – Set of Tricks

Wow, I had never thought about that. I've run into issues with minified JavaScript files as well, but never really thought about how much it annoyed me.

To "ignore" super-long lines, we can just use a Unix filter:

ag --color --group <pattern> | cut -c -100

the --color and --group force ag to not change the output just because we're piping the output to something that isn't a tty. The cut command simply clamps all lines at 100 chars; feel free to change this length.

This is pretty long, so we could write a wrapper function or something:

agc() {
ag --color --group $@ | cut -c -100
}

Stick it in your zshrc and you're good to go.
Using Jobs to Be Done (JTBD) to Help Shape Product Strategy in Oil and Gas
I watched the video, and I didn't see any evidence of racism. The officers started right out asking her to walk on the other side of the street and/or to use the sidewalk, for her own safety. I saw nothing disrespectful in their words or their demeanor.

However. I guess a lot of police departments have a standard policy of asking anyone they stop and talk to to show ID, even if they're not issuing a citation. I think this policy should be reconsidered. If their concern really is for the person's safety and not that the person is a danger to others, then perhaps they should skip asking for ID or at least not insist on it if the person claims not to have it or does not wish to show it. There's something a bit chilling about the idea that anyone out walking and minding their own business could be stopped and asked for identification, and the very slight interest that the police have in making a record of whom they spoke to does not, to my mind, outweigh the interest of the people in not feeling like we live in a police state.

(I'm not saying we actually do live in a police state, only that this practice makes it feel a little bit more like that than it otherwise would.)

That, and the temperature of the egg itself. Did it come from the refrigerator or is it at room temperature? Furthermore, not every egg has the same size or weight.

I can think of a ton of reasons a hiring manager would say "I can't do that." Not about race, but about remote and time zones.

Thanks Colin!

5,000kW per year is low in the U.S.?

That is extraordinarily wasteful. In most of Australia the average is about 2300kW per quarter, and even that is probably a high estimate. But if 5000kW is low then I'm assuming the average has to be 6000kW, or 6500kW! That a HUGE amount of power!

his advise is to put the eggs into a steamer... the quantity of water shouldn't make a difference in that case.
"Realistic" performance specs should include "doesn't have a chance of literally setting something on fire by drawing too much current through it".
Strange. Maybe I don't do it that often, but I don't recall having much trouble peeling hard boiled eggs. My method is to boil them for desired time, run cold water over them for a bit, then drop them gently on the bench probably 3-5 times per egg so that the shell is consistently shattered, then peel. Maybe the problem is that I can't get fresh eggs.
What he says about the age of the egg is contrary to my experience. I usually get fresh eggs from the farmers market and they peel easier than the store bought eggs which aren't as fresh. Maybe it's the fact that the eggs here aren't washed - they can be kept at room temperature quite a long time, no refrigeration needed.
the temperature has been addressed in that article.
I've thoroughly thought about adding a static option to Cachet, but when you add things like Metric Points and subscribers (as you say) it does become a lot harder to cache efficiently.

One thing this article shows, is how different solar is on high vs low latitudes. Up to around 40 degrees, solar is practical, and you only need to take the nights and possibly cloud cover into account, at 60 degrees, the seasonal variation is too high to be stored in a parctical way, even with his assumption of flat consumption through the year, which is quite unrealistic with the short days and low temperatures at high latitudes. It means that off the grid solar is unrealistic in Northern Europe, but it can be a possibility many other places in the world.
Th evidence shows otherwise. Besides, there is already an endless supply of booze, television, junk food, and empty consumerism for those who want to null out consciousness and distract themselves while they wait to die.
That's what this doesn't take into account. If you install batteries, you use them for only part of the time to make up for times the PV doesn't generate electricity. This offsets costs of drawing from the grid. But when you need to draw from the grid, you do so.

Anyway if these cables contain such chips $13 seems reasonable.
On the other hand, getting a perfect soft boiled egg so that the whites are cooked but the yolk is completely runny is something I struggle with. I probably get about 1 in 3 perfect. I use a timer of course, but then the size of the egg seems matter and goodness knows what else.
