About not selling out: usually we make business decisions without knowing how things will turn out. We get advice. Market research is done. Even so, lots of business decisions are gambles -- especially entrepreneurial decisions. As long as you don't know which will work out better, selling out or not selling out, the estimated future benefit is greater for behaving well: if your project fails, you don't have to deal with shame on top of the failure.

There's also PureScript, which is a little more "apples to apples" with Haskell. Both the Elm and PureScript compilers are written in Haskell.

Also, some of the ideas from Elm are having an influence in the PureScript ecosystem.

For example: https://github.com/bodil/purescript-signal

Everyone worried about whether or not Facebook would ever be able to monetize, but it brought in $4 Billion in revenue last quarter. Last quarter!

So let's do a little math. From this:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/kathleenchaykowski/2015/04/22/fa...

We see 1.44 billion monthly active users. That translates to about $12 a year per user.

Think about that.

Now think about the potential growth curve.

And you're telling me I should be impressed?

Now, if they can find a way to continue to push that per-user revenue number up, great, let's see how that goes. But their numbers today only show great promise.

Meanwhile, using Facebook as your benchmark is incredibly disingenuous. Of all the internet companies today, they have the largest subscriber base, the greatest retention, and the greatest daily active engagement.

Snapchat doesn't come close.

Twitter isn't growing as quickly as some would like (only 4 million new users per quarter) and has its own share of problems, but it's still on track to bring in ~$2 Billion in revenue this year.

Twitter can't break even. They report 320MM monthly active users which means they're pulling in about $7 per user per year in revenues, less than Facebook, and with a growth curve that's even more alarming.

Again, you're not seeing the forest for the trees, here.

Uber's gross revenue is expected to hit a run rate of about $10 billion by the end of next year.

And, mark my words, in 5 years they will be shut down by regulators and class action lawsuits as folks realize they're making $10B a year on the backs of illegal contract workers.

I don't think purity is the problem. I just think simplicity has value. It makes it possible to keep most of a language in your head. It makes it possible for anybody on your team to have a chance of understanding your code.

There was a time I tried to embrace modern C++. Problem is C++ is so big that there will always be lots of people who don't understand the code you are writing. I used to have tech talks to explain concepts like C++ concepts, models and how it relates to STL containers, iterators etc. But ultimately all these efforts is just putting bandaid on a shitty language.

The whole point of programming languages is so people can exchange code and understand each others code. C++ is epic fail in this area.

While Objective-C is also a kind of old and crufty language, it is infinitely simpler than C++.

Maintaining old codebases in anything other than C++ is much simpler for many reasons. Refactoring tools in languages like Java and C# actually works. Refactoring in Ruby or Python is simpler because they more naturally decouple due to their dynamic typing.

Refactoring C++ code is hell on earth because the refactoring tool has to be able to understand macros, C++ templates etc. Any changes to a class interface even private methods or variables requires recompile of all files using that class. Which means doing lots of changes means recompile of lots of files. Which sucks in a large project when C++ is terribly slow at compilation to begin with.

Compare with a language like Go. The syntax is so much more sane that you can actually write simple refactoring tools yourself easily. No way in hell you can do that with C++.

No matter what Bjarne does with C++, they will still be stuck with macros, a fiendishly complicated template system, static initialization and deinitialization mess. As long as you need to remain backwards compatible you are stuck with a lot of awful stuff.

Yeah I see "PPP" in the picture but nowhere is there an explanation of how they accounted and adjusted for inflation on a yearly basis. A link to the actual study would be a lot more informative. At any rate it doesn't address the moral concerns brought up in the article.

I appreciate the analysis and sentiment but when looking at graphs of extreme net worth inequality it seems pretty pointless to just advise sympathetic people to "not sell out."

People who will take that advice to heart will just end up not being the extremely rich people, and other people will end up there instead.

It's good to increase the number of CEOs and powerful people who remain committed to values that benefit everyone. Still, without systemic change, the extremely rich and sociopathic will continue doing what they do, and extremely powerful corporations and banks will stay extremely powerful.

This seems like a very inefficient infrastructure to accomplish what you want to do.

By using Plaid to determine transactions, I assume you then do a once-a-month transaction that is the sum of all the round-ups? Or do you do a separate transaction every time someone does a transaction?

If you're doing a separate transaction, you're paying some ridiculous Stripe fees for the micro transactions.

I think the ideal solution would be to set up your own debit card. It's not significantly hard to get a branded debit card solution through Bancorp. Then you can control thins a lot more easily.

When a customer makes a $12.10 charge, you can actually charge them $13 and just keep the 0.90 on the backend and the processing fee is only paid once.
It would seem that he did not allow himself proper nouns:

I think about this quite a bit and haven't come to a solution. In a truly equal society every person would have equal opportunity and achievement. For example, if x% of the population are in college then a child should have x% probability of going to college regardless of his parent's income and other factors. In modern day America it's probably something like the below (using made up numbers):

Upper class: 95% probability of child going to college
Middle class: 65% probability of child going to college
Lower Class: 30% probability of child going to college

This is just one example but I believe the same concept can be used for myriad situations. This is going to create a huge cycle of inequality that will widen as the economy grows and those with money can exert power and influence to maintain their power and influence, create a feedback cycle.

From reading other comments it sounds like the new "Capital" book is some interesting reading on this subject.

I don't really follow the logic of the article. Humans have optimized for "money" for a long time, and it's produced a lot of good and a lot of bad. Overall, though, I'd say we're very much headed in the right direction.

In the meantime, though, just try to be happy (as the article suggests).

Any idea why this is running on Wordpress and not just a static HTML page? I guess maybe FB's marketing team made the page and not the dev team?
I love this analogy. One of my former professors once explained pure mathematics as a pitch black room, and writing proofs is like wandering around in that room looking for a light source -- often stubbing a few toes along the way. Once a proof is complete, a light has illuminated the room for others to enter safely. The mathematician often finds the room boring and moves on to another pitch black room.

The hard work is wandering around in the dark. Intelligence is the ability and willingness to wander around.

Citation needed. You have to control for other factors before you can say that.
Blaming negative societal effects on people wanting to make money is akin to blaming gravity for airplane crashes. Moreover, the people that would listen to these pleas for putting society before the dollar aren't the type that are investing large sums, and those that are investing probably don't care to listen.

If you use milliseconds you can even make that 99.99% or higher!

The point is, that watch is verifiable accurate twice daily, you can look at it and will tell you exactly the right time. It will do so 365 days per year, which is 730 times. This is a very large number of accurate predictions without being useful at all.

The only kind of useful predictions are the ones that you are prepared to back with either money or deeds. Words alone really don't cut it, in fact, with words alone your accuracy decreases.

A good way to find out where people stand on a prediction is to ask them to back that prediction with money. If you're willing to stake $500 on each of your predictions then you may still be wrong but you'll be a lot more careful with what it is exactly that you predict than if there is no downside to you for your prediction being wrong.
I was also at Intel in Hillsboro on a paid internship at this time. I recall a ton of projects across so many areas, with loose management. There was a guy in a QA group I worked in who just day traded.

Even if a business has real revenue and real profit, there is still danger depending on the source of that revenue and profit. If there's a large downturn in the startup world, b2b/SaaS companies which profit from startups will suffer too. What will the effect to github/pagerduty be if 3/4ths of startups vaporize? "Not good", I would wager.

Ultimately, it's about the source of the money. SaaS companies are higher up the "trophic chain" than than the startups that pay for their service, but VC money can still represent a substantial portion of their revenue, just passed through an intermediate company first.

Zappa explored this heavily with his synclavier work. Wasn't a fan, but the early MIDI sound of it it turned me off more than anything and I didn't give it a fair shake.
Maybe we rethink the laws putting people behind bars or the legal system that so inefficient that some public defenders have literally only minutes to devote to each individual case before we spend resources figuring out how to get them "subscribe and save".
This reminds me more of Paredit, in that it handles s-expression aware source transformations, and not just indentation:

Another way to solve this is to declutter and leave on only what truly matters.

The constant barrage of notifications can be deafening - So:

(for me at least)

Leave email notifications turned on - any and all mail that isn't directly related to work I do / server stability / etc... unsubscribe

People generally only text me when it's something important - wife going grocery shopping; friends making plans for a night out, etc... text notifications stay on

Everything else - twitter, facebook, whatsapp, etc... get silenced / turned off

Now when the Apple Watch taps me on the wrist, it can assume it's generally something important.
I can assure you the author of Parinfer is aware of this distinction ;)

>> One thing that really sparked my motivation for music even while I was sucking horribly was the realization that you can make pretty neat melodies in very simple ways...

Once I noticed that the black piano keys are a pentatonic scale... Just sit with your eyes closed, spread your hands out and feel the black keys. They're raised and so easy to find. try not to play adjacent black keys. Do this with both hands. If you want higher or lower notes, move hands in that direction. Play with rhythms. Play a pattern on one hand and just let the other bounce around. find a few interesting chords to come back to - resolve to. But most of all, do this with your eyes closed. You'll be surprised what comes out after a bit.
If you have already used another dynamic, imperative language, you can probably learn enough Lua to use Torch effectively in 30 minutes.

Seriously, there are three features in the Lua language which are not trivial: metatables, coroutines and _ENV. None of those are needed to use Torch.

It will take more time to learn Torch-specific APIs, but the same problem exists with the other ML frameworks.

1.) There are a whole lot of involuntary transactions in real economies.
2.) The argument only applies to perceived value, not wealth. Wealth is objective and measurable, e.g. the number of houses or cars or widgets in existence.

What do you mean by "it's often not sustainable"? Throughput on a server is higher at higher packet size, so if you're doing a download I'd expect the server to send 1500 byte packets. It's pretty easy to saturate a link with 1500 byte packets, and it's much harder to do so at lower packet sizes (from the server's perspective) since the per-packet processing costs start to dominate over the per-byte costs. Admittedly my knowledge of this sort of stuff is mostly intra-DC; is there some other factor that you're referring to that supersedes this on the web?

I'm not aware of prioritizing smaller packets on the backbone, sounds like something that would be targeted at small flows (i.e. first N packets in a flow get a priority bump)? More info on that would be appreciated.
They existed as social cliques before they became official entities and were just as problematic at that point. Political parties didn't really become a bipolar construct we have today until ~1791.
Pretty sure France and most EU states have higher class mobility than the US most entirely due to much more accessible education and larger welfare states.

What I meant by off topic is that any "Romantic or sexual commentary, remarks, or questions" in a Golang communication forum are off topic.

Having that go against the code of conduct does not necessarily suggest a puritan view of the world, but an understanding that those are rarely constructive to the conversation.
Of the 30% of lower class kids who go to college, how many are successful in the ways they want to be? A lower class kid who wants to become a doctor should have the same opportunities as anyone else and we should work hard to support them. But I see kids all the time who majored in communications or social studies (not kidding) and came out with $40k in student debt (half of which was spent on inflated rent and social activities). They had no guidance from their typically lower class parents beyond ''go to college'' because that is what society has been drilling into their collective heads for 30 years. We need to fundamentally rethink how to set up vocational pathways and training for young people, not try to push more of them into a system that is increasingly failing.

Can someone in the retail financial services industry familiar with their regulation please clarify this assertion?

It almost sounds as if there is some rule that allows a bank to open a retail branch, declare that branch an asset and simultaneously expand its loaning capacity, then use that loaning capacity elsewhere (like its trading arm). This is a variation on the old 80-90's Japanese corporations using real-estate-as-asset-securing-loans bookkeeping: at some point someone notice that they could pledge real estate the company owned as collateral to secure loans that could be leveraged into more real estate for more loans, and then churn the real estate holdings in a up-trend market and rinse-repeat for even bigger loan packages.

Even in a post-Gramm–Leach–Bliley world that repealed Glass–Steagall, it stretches my credulity to believe that even lax bank regulation would allow branch openings at a completely speculative stage (with no proven loan activity yet) to partly drive bank loanable reserve levels. I'm more inclined to believe that these branches don't see a lot of foot traffic in the Net era, but that they justify their cost by sporadically serving customers in a local market who already hold loan products serviced by the bank, and need an occasional in-person visit to the bank.
(Author here, sorry I didn't catch this earlier) The 3.5 minutes is the preprocessing time (think of it as index-building time).

After the index is built, the goal is to be able to generate outputs at a time bounded by (up to a poly-log loss) the size of your screen, and not of your data.

After the index is built you get sub-millisecond answers for the 2-D histograms over reasonably-sized screens, and that turns out to be pretty useful for the use cases we're going for.
There are other limitations that we can't achieve naturally. Like speed. There's a limit to how fast you can make those hammers move.

Why I Have Been Avoiding the News
Does anyone have tips as someone with ESOs how you can get a better idea of the value and your position, given preferred shares?

I feel you never have as much diligence/information as an employee as a VC would who is investing in the company.
What a shame. With that kind of CV, you could easily have jumped straight to staff scientist or possibly assistant prof by looking outside the Ivies, as informatics skills are heavily in demand now. Also, if you're willing to collaborate with wet-lab biologists, there are nearly limitless opportunities to easily keep funded and have the respect of your peers (again, because informaticians are really needed to analyze all the data that's being generated nowadays).

But I have heard that for people who did PhDs at an Ivy, they are often unwilling to look outside them, as if it were some kind of failure. I'm not sure if that applies to you, but I think it takes a similar form of humility to the kind described in this article to realize that you can do good science and make a good career for yourself without always publishing in top-tier journals and working at top 10 institutions.
I'm not sure that's really as much of an income gap as you may think. You are taking modern assumptions, that a woman can succeed in any career, and applying it to a society that it was arguably less true in. It's entirely possible the nurse or secretary of twenty years ago might be a physician or executive if brought up twenty years later.

Additionally, I think you are conflating education with social standing, when they are somewhat different, and there have been different levels of social pressure against doing either at different times in history.
I'm pretty sure that it's also quite difficult to go short on non publicly traded equity.
This looks really nice! Thank you for making this.
I completely agree with you that using bankruptcy to defraud your investors, but as @angersock points out quite humourously, there are people who make their money just on the inside of "perfectly legal". Look at some of the more creative use of the bankruptcy code at Onlive.

And since there are millions, perhaps billions of dollars worth of company at play here, the top people in this game get involved. And that is what makes it interesting. Sadly much of it won't happen in public because they are private companies.
