Here are the 5 "myths" and his advice to save you a click through:

1. It's important to get a job and start saving for retirement the minute you're out of college.
>It's more important to spend time thinking about what you want to do (surfing in South America?) than to start working and paying off students loans immediately.

2. Getting a credit card right out of school is dangerous.
>Get a credit card with a small limit ($500) and set it on autopay.

3. The American dream involves buying a house.
>Rent rather than buy and don't get attached to anything while you're young.

4. Once you graduate, immediately try to build up a cash emergency fund.
>Use 401k as an emergency fund, even if you have to take the tax hit. Long-term benefits outweigh short term risks of doing this when you're young.

5. Investing is difficult, and stocks are sexy.
>Avoid managers/fees and just put money into an index fund.

Nothing too radical.

> DD is using the same trick Uber uses: they hire drivers but classify them as "contractors", which conveniently abstracts all the risk away from DD. If there are issues with transport and so forth, it's the driver's problem.

Its worth noting that that trick hasn't been completely legally successful for Uber, and even if the employer/contractor distinction breaks in DD's favor, that doesn't necessarily mean that the contractor and not DD is on the hook for all the food sales and distribution rules.

And, even if it does, that doesn't really solve the question of the legality of the operation, just whether it is DD or its deliverers whose actions would be prohibited by the non-trademark rules. But if DD deliverers were to start being targeted for enforcement actions, it would rapidly make it harder for DD to get deliverers.

Developing a comprehensive and objective view of human digestion wasn't the goal of the research. The primary goal was to disparage the so called modern "western diet," and glorify that of a traditional Exotic Other by contrast. Facts were then selectively chosen to support the pre-ordained conclusion.

For that purpose, only one non-western analysis is necessary, and in particular they must stringently avoid analysis of non-western places that are also heavily into fried food.

The author also goes on about how terrible antibiotics are, the damage they've done to the western microbiome. They further lament with little comment how antibiotics are now appearing with increasing frequency in the remaining environments where Exotic Others still live in a traditional fashion.

They fail to note that this is because in the absence of antibiotics, people -- especially children -- tend to die horribly painful deaths of sepsis at a vastly increased rate, and even exotic others tend to prefer not to die like that when taking $2 worth of pills can prevent it.
Torch, Caffe, and all the other deep learning frameworks are waiting for OpenCL patches. OpenCL support would make a great contribution!

I know Theano has had OpenCL support in the oven for quite a while now.

But it's hard to justify investing heavily into OpenCL when all the serious deep learning labs have already sunk $X0,000 into buying NVidia Titan cards by now. To these people (who are the stakeholders), OpenCL wouldn't add any benefit.
But you could still paste ^d (End-of-file)? Granted, if you paste ^d in the terminal, you'd exit, but one could do this?:

I would argue that this has less to do with "people that require laptops" vs "people that require laptops for work".

The iPad pro seems to be a direct competitor or option for companies that previously bought Lenovo or other Windows based laptops - including the Microsoft Surface.

The specs on the new Macbook lines are the only things that make it feel weird. If you take that out of the equation it starts to make more sense.
The code was supposedly written by a vendor or subcontractor, so it could have been delivered in a "drop" to VW without commit history.

Also, the story seems to have been that the "cheat" was a special mode explicitly programmed for test purposes and not something totally under the covers. The "crime" was in enabling that mode under field conditions. That change may not be covered by source code revision control, if it were made in a config file outside of SCC.

In a field more of us here understand, it would be similar to coding a feature in a server that dumps user passwords to the log file in plain text. Such a feature would be useful for certain debugging situations, but it would be disastrous to have it enabled on a production box. So you'd put a big all-caps warning in the source code, documentation, example config files saying whatever you do don't turn this on in production. Supposedly the engine management developers did something along those lines, but the folks who built the cars ignored the warning and enabled the mode anyway.
The last release was 2.5 months ago. The time to make videos is probably non-trivial, considering how fast they're moving on actual code changes. :-)
I agree too, if I was allowed to editorialize I would have sterilized it.
That's not exactly fair. They hold many assets, so of course any action on any individual asset may not have a significant effect. However, if they behave similarly across all similar assets, it will have an effect on the overall fund.
Have a look at HSM's if you have not. They fix a few combinatoric explosion problems with FSMs. Also known as statecharts. They are flattened to FSMs when run, but they make expressing complex systems more user friendly.

Luckily both can be installed almost as easily without the curl pipe hack... Not sure why so many projects want to reduce install steps from three to one with a shell script. I could understand if you have 90 steps (in which case I would recommend you figure out a better install process in general), but not for simple 'download something, move it to a path, run a command, and you're done'. See my roles for both of the packages you mentioned above on Ansible Galaxy for more info; I tend to avoid doing the curl pipes for sanity even more so than security.

Yeah. One can debate the specifics of how big an emergency fund a given person should have but he seems awfully cavalier about tapping the 401k for unexpected expenses. I suspect, given that he doesn't offer dollar amounts, that he assumes that having $5K or so around to cover an emergency car repair doesn't rise to the level of emergency fund.

The bit at the beginning about the latte is also pretty silly. Sure if you can afford it and get great pleasure out of your Starbucks, go for it. But this is exactly the sort of money leak that causes a lot of people to wonder where their money all went at the end of the month.

Certainly if she is convicted, then they can take her for everything. But she hasn't been convicted yet, she's just been charged. They're not 'rewarding' her for spending stolen money first, because in the case of a conviction they're going to take her everything and throw her in jail to boot.

And it's not necessarily true that assets, even monetary ones, are fungible and that you can spend from either pool at whim. My father has to separate his business and personal bank accounts for tax reasons. Criminals have to launder money, this was illustrated to hilarious effect in Breaking Bad. When you're dealing with large amounts of money, people pay more attention.

I found out the hard way that a lot of websites on Linux are either out of date or give instructions that can ruin your system.

In trying to solve a black screen with Mint 17.2 I followed directions on adding a PPA to install Nvidia drivers and then remove the open source drivers. When I rebooted I still got the black screen and in recovery mode I could not log in because it said an ACL for a card was missing a file.

When I went to reinstall Mint it didn't want to overwrite the partition and wanted to create a new one alongside it. Forcing me to delete the Linux partition and start all over again.

A lot of websites just give wrong advice and if you aren't an advanced user who knows how to fix things when they break, you could be stuck with an unusable system.

Lots of bombed IPOs recently followed this track. If they IPOed at 1 (what they were likely worth) and went to 1.2 they'd be seen as a solid company with great growth potential.

Instead they IPO at 5, fell to 2 and are really worth 1. Now they're seen as a hopeless train wreck that can't be saved and sign of a "bubble."

A silly high paper valuation during funding rounds makes for fun press releases, but it can cause a ton of headaches later (if the company isn't actually worth those amounts... and most aren't).

Strange Things That Have Been Happening in Financial Markets
Not sure whether this anecdote fits the thread well, but does address "don't copy and paste from a website to, well, anywhere without examining what you just pasted":

I was administering a final exam to a programming class. Exam was done on class computers, so with me in the front of the room most of the time I couldn't actually see what everyone was doing (and given the nature of the class, if you cheated it probably wouldn't really help you anyway).

Grading one student's submission, the wording of most of the "essay" questions seemed ... odd. Nothing objectively wrong, but everyone has their own writing style and his answers weren't, well, his. Scrolling thru one particular answer there were some blank lines after the answer ... and then a URL. The URL contained much of the test question. Checking the unfamiliar site, it was a paid technical-question-answering service, base price for answers $30 and rising depending on depth, quality & speed of answer. Copying-and-pasting the purchased answers added the source URL to the selected text, proving malicious plagiarism on the final exam. I figure he spent at least $300 to fail that exam and get one strike per the school's "three strikes and you're out" policy.

That may be, but it ignores the fact that software was written for the express purpose of not just identifying if a test was being ran, but then taking action to change the results of the test has no real world use. Any case where you would want to change engine performance has no reason to be triggered only when testing. To get both included in production as-is and turned on requires quite a series of consecutive mistakes to be considered accidental.

> In a field more of us here understand, it would be similar to coding a feature in a server that dumps user passwords to the log file in plain text.

No, it's like coding that feature but explicitly making it turn off whenever it detects a security review. How is that justifiable?
The interesting thing about ocean cables is everyone knows where they are, and they don't tend to move too often.

Interesting. If this is the story, then VW didn't really "need" to cheat to make the cars reasonable, so they shouldn't get too much worse when patched. That would be a nice outcome.

I'm still cynical.

Pretty sure he still had emergencies. You're suggesting he just wouldn't need to pay for them if he was renting.

I'd personally rather pay an extra 20-40 bucks a month for something like BGE Home appliances/HVAC warranty than an extra 30% a month in rent relative to the cost of the mortgage. Oh, and gain equity. And rent the same house to someone else in a few years, have them pay my mortgage, and make an extra 30% off the top from them.

Renting isn't stupid. Buying isn't either, despite how popular that notion seems around here.

Of course there's always going to be attack vectors, but clearly it's safer to execute a known program (Firefox) from a trusted website (firefox.com) than it is to use an unknown program (Jons Legit Calculator App) from an unknown website (some bit.ly link). Sure there's still attack vectors at play, but you've mitigated the easy ones. This is the same thing. Everyone needs to know not to go copying terminal commands unless they really trust the source. Obviously there's still a security issue there, but its significantly lower, and that's really all we can aim for.

Most geeks care, but I think most geeks recognize that the currently proposed solutions like carbon caps and rationing are regressive and insufficient anyway.

We can:

1) Ration our current carbon-producing technology (carbon caps)

2) Figure out more efficient technology

1 sounds good in theory but doesn't seem practical in reality. I don't drive, yet most of my friends who are ardent "greens" wouldn't dare contemplate giving up their car and red meat.
I think the analogy holds in this respect: in both cases, you can get it from the supplier, it's just less convenient, either because of having to go there, or needing to be shipped a longer distance, or needing to buy a bulk.

(Per sibling, a more relevant difference would be Walmart's having permission, but I'm not sure that's relevant to the consumer expectation; "telling you how cheap this stuff is from the source" is the kind of "facilitating you getting it cheaper" that we don't expect retailers to do.)

Except its very uncommon to be poisoned or stabbed and very common for IT systems to be hacked, because there's a pretty big incentive to do so (setup a spamming farm, steal data, enlarge a botnet, script kiddie cred, etc).

>Has anybody been personally burned by this?

I imagine a lot of devs who follow bad practices cause a lot of havok, but its up to the security and sysadmin team to clean up after them. They may not be fully aware of all their bad practices and a refrain of "Let us be bad, it hasn't caused any problems yet," is short-sighted.

At the very least you have a SSL identified site and published checksum hashes on a separate server. That's a far cry from a random shell script. Installing an OS is a special case anyway, so its not really a good comparison here.

Rent Vs. buy is the most "radical."

I think it really boils down to what the relative costs are. There are many renters who pay as much or more as someone with a mortgage, and the person with the mortgage is obviously building up capital within that property (value Vs. current mortgage).
"...Let’s start with what most people probably can agree. Information is accumulating online. The amount of available information is increasing at an exponential rate, some say it doubles every second year. This mean that any illusion of being able to stay up to date with everything that is going on is utopian and has been probably since Guttenberg invented the press.

Most people know this, yet that is exactly exactly what we all seem to be doing.

There is no shortage of content aggregators and aggregators of aggregators, daily developed to give us a better overview of all the sources of information we have subscribed to and found ourselves now depending on.

This has resulted in an endless stream of articles, news, pictures, websites, products, updates, comments of updates and comments to these comments, being delivered to us second by second that each of us have to deal with.

Constantly checking our feeds for new information, we seem to be hoping to discover something of interest, something that we can share with our networks, something that we can use, something that we can talk about, something that we can act on, something we didn’t know we didn’t know.

It almost seems like an obsession and many critics of digital technology would argue that by consuming information this way we are running the danger of destroying social interaction between humans. One might even say that we have become slaves of the feed.

It might be an obsession, but I think it’s an obsession that many critics will find themselves having to submit to sooner or later...."

5k would be fine, 50k would not, with current hardware and JVM, based on my experience. The pain point again in my experience, is not any of the issues cited in that presentation, but rather that GC gets bound up in a wad eventually when you have large (>10k) numbers of threads in a JVM (and any reasonably complex application). This is because the object graph becomes highly interconnected through the Thread and associated TLS objects. YMMV of course. Definitely agree that the "async is fast" myth needs debunking, though.
