This kind of generic financial advice is dangerous, and pretty irresponsible for someone in his position (and supposed expertise).

I bought my first house while I was still in college. I patiently waded through the 8 month process of buying a short-sale property. I invested maybe $5k over 2 years (and a lot of elbow grease) in making improvements and netted $40k when I sold it.

Home ownership carries risk and responsibility, but leasing is restrictive and will never provide any kind of returns. In my case I was basically paid to live in my house, vs the $28k in rent it would have cost me

This would mean that NP=Co-NP and that there is a polynomial certificate for every Co-NP problem.

That is what breaks P=NP for me and I just can't wrap my head around how that would be possible.

One thing seems strange: author claims that burying cable one meter under the bottom of the ocean will make it difficult for submarine to destroy it. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't they simply use some torpedo or missile to accomplish that ? Some tactical nuclear bomb even, if cable is protected by really thick casing. No more sophisticated equipment needed.
Related: a "meter-long" remotely controlled UAV with explosives was found near the Russian underwater gas pipeline "Nord Stream" (Russia-Germany) just off the swedish maritime border by the swedish armed forces last week.

The implicit assumption (made by me) is that the US (or perhaps UK on the behalf of the US) planted it there just in case. It certainly wasn't Germany or Russia...

http://www.thelocal.se/20151107/explosive-sub-found-near-rus...

Side-note: This "ally" thing is odd. Germany and Sweden provides the US with intelligence in exchange for intelligence and trade contracts. Germany spies on Sweden. Sweden finds a threat that could threaten gas supply from Russia to Germany and exposes it to the world. Sweden implements an internet surveillance program aimed at domestic arabs but also russian internet traffic flowing through Sweden, to trade with the US for intelligence/favors. US plants a bomb in order to be able to kill critical energy supply to Germany.

You can actually find in page by typing a keyword in the address bar. There will be an "On this page" section at the bottom of the suggestion list, which you can tap in and jump through all matches. If I remembered correctly, this feature has been available since iOS 5 or so (which were a little bit clearer back then, since search box was separate from the address box).
> I just don't understand why people would want to live in the suburbs over living in the country or the city. To me, the burbs are isolating and depressing; they are cultural waste lands. I don't have to to drive everywhere, or maintain a car and thus I am saving another few thousand dollars every year, its fiscally a no brainer to live in the city.

Dude, do you realize you're proving my point in spades?

Why are you trying to convince me that living in a city is better than in the suburbs? I'm sure for a lot of people it is. But not for me.

I don't care if you prefer living in the city over the suburbs. But you've amply demonstrated that you do care about the fact that I don't. And that's my original point. And I find it amusing that so many city dwellers care so much that there are people who don't share their preferences.

Just a reminder that as a sole proprietor, there is no corporate veil. Your are 100% personally liable for anything you do in business. This is one of the real reasons that businesses incorporate, and possibly the most important one. Incorporation will otherwise provide more headaches, not less.

FWIW I did business as a sole proprietor for years. That said, it was always just me, and I was pretty careful. My line for incorporation would probably be when I needed to start hiring.

On a basic level, shell scripts to do the basic config work in a pinch. But if you can learn the basics of Ansible, setting up a new VM can take just a few minutes and not be painful at all. It's quicker for me to add a new VM and apply a few Ansible roles I've written for a new client site/app than to log into some shared hosting provider and click through their UI to do the same.

Amnesty? Pressuring employees to "snitch"? Are you kidding me?

This is just blatant scapegoating. Your cars cheated on emissions test because you willfully ignored a decade of evidence! This is a case of pervasive organizational intent. You saw no evil, heard no evil, and spoke no evil, from the top management on down. Even the government regulators participated.

This is such bullshit.
You don't think ageism has anything to do with the fact that a 30 year old developer is considered to not be a cultural fit in a given company just because of age?
"DNSSEC is fine, as long as we all give up on .COM". Ok.
Yeah, I like your continuation of my analogy. However, as I understand it, from someone I know who worked in the automotive sector a while back, all vehicles have a special emissions test mode. It exists for legitimate reasons such as you don't want to have ABS turned on when on a dyno for safety reasons. It probably also exists for less legitimate reasons arising out of the history of testing practice -- essentially that the test never has been truly representative of real road conditions, and everyone involved in the testing process knew this. That being the case, all you need then is to add one more flag to the list of "things to enable/disable under test conditions". I agree that somewhere there must be some kind of record of when and who made that configuration change though.
> Has anybody been personally burned by this?

People get burned by this sort of thing all the time, malicious downloads were hip when Clinton was in the White House. Yes, only on Windows, and yes, easy to thwart if you know what to look for, but it's disingenuous to say that it's never happened. These things are attacks on your ability to recognize and be vigilant, and you can't recognize and be vigilant of everything at the same time.

Obviously the particular vector of console pastes hasn't been exploited yet but that doesn't mean it won't ever. When it does, we'll mourn the passing of our current free-wheeling days the same way we mourn the old Usenet.
Yea, I think the industry seems to have been caught off guard by how aggressive the mutual funds have been with their mark-to-market valuations. This public data will likely have to be factored into the valuation methodologies of the private investors in these deals. Absent of this, Unicorn valuations were probably going to take a much longer time to deflate.
Most sage advice about buying vs. renting boils down to "run the numbers but there are a lot of tradeoffs, many of them non-financial." The "Don't buy" sentence is deliberately provocative I think. The rest of what he says boils down to don't buy a house because you think you're supposed to. Which sounds like very sensible advice to me.

I certainly held off buying for a fairly long time because I didn't want to be locked down in that way. In retrospect I might have done things differently but hindsight is 20-20 and all that.
I don't know why you would think this. There was strong empirical evidence (in my opinion) for thinking Graph Isomorphism was easy. NAUTY (and SAUCY) were good practical implementations that found solutions efficiently (except for some harder class of graphs, maybe). GI was known to be in NP and co-NP which is usually a red flag that the problem is not NP-Complete. For example, linear programming, integer polynomial factorization and primality testing were all in this NP and co-NP region (also discrete logarithm but that's still open).

Though extremely informative, there's no reason that GI is polynomial (or pseudo polynomial) would give serious reason to believe that P is anywhere near NP.

But, I would like an approach where we randomly select "electors". They are sequestered, listen to the arguments of the candidates, hold several election rounds and finally come out with he elected officials. Like a jury. They would be dismissed after that.

That depends on how you define emergency. Water-heater and car tires don't qualify as emergency for me. Heck, car tires are a regular maintenance expense. Emergency is something like the house burning down, the car getting stolen, or my health taking a turn for the worse. All of which I insure against.
I'd add to number 4 that being able to borrow short-term cash at a reasonable rate can be a better choice. If you borrow $10k at 1%/month and pay it off at $1k/month, the total interest is something like $550. If you need that much cash once every 5 years, then that's about a 1% rate of return on holding $10k worth of emergency cash in terms of saved interest fees.

That said, this is only really a good option if you've got a healthy income level and strong saving habits. If you don't, you won't be able to borrow at a reasonable rate (and you won't be able to pay it back quickly).
Ouch. Double fail.

I simply took a probiotic after being on antibiotics for a couple months and it had a side effect of curing a lot of digestive problems I used to have. So there's that, too. Incidentally, my doctor was the one who advised this.

That doesn't establish that it had to be implemented that way to work, even in that environment.

Okay, I can accept there may be a legitimate reason to want to determine if a test is being run for a case like that, but that's a component that isn't related to engine performance and emissions. I'm not sure there's any case where you could legitimately want the engine performance and emissions to be different during emissions testing. In any case you want it different (for example, testing different parameters), you would also want to test it on the road.
Uh, that isn't the "O-Ring Theory" I would have expected.

The Challenger failed because, while the O-Rings were within tolerances, they shouldn't have been varying at all. So because they were varying unexpectedly, they inevitably failed.

I would claim the corresponding devops theory is "measure everything, know what is measurement noise and what is user activity, and eliminate everything else before it causes an outage".

(from Wikipedia: "In one example, early tests resulted in some of the booster rocket's O-rings burning a third of the way through. These O-rings provided the gas-tight seal needed between the vertically stacked cylindrical sections that made up the solid fuel booster. NASA managers recorded this result as demonstrating that the O-rings had a "safety factor" of 3. Feynman incredulously explains the magnitude of this error: a "safety factor" refers to the practice of building an object to be capable of withstanding more force than the force to which it will conceivably be subjected. To paraphrase Feynman's example, if engineers built a bridge that could bear 3,000 pounds without any damage, even though it was never expected to bear more than 1,000 pounds in practice, the safety factor would be 3. If a 1,000 pound truck drove across the bridge and it cracked at all, even just a third of the way through a beam, the safety factor is now zero: the bridge is defective.")

Often, startups try not to be profitable on purpose. They drive all profits into growth. It's better to use $1 earned into getting more customers than to have it sit in the bank or give it back to investors as a distribution.

Of course, this mentality depends on the investors mindset and goals but many investors into new businesses feel this way. Fast growth today, profits/buyout tomorrow.

You're more likely to see a focus on profits from founder owned businesses because they tend to not have the deep pockets that allow profits to come second to growth.

Dunno, depending on what you're doing the Shield TV costs less and does about the same. People are running Ubuntu on these today, and you get the video, XHCI USB, GigE ethernet and WiFi working fine. Of course having a more "normal" platform is nice, but does a UART really cost 300 dollars more? (The ShieldTV has no physical serial port, at least not one I found anywhere).

Hopefully this doesn't border on the "conspiracy theory" side too closely, but if a company is able to IPO at 5x what they're "actually" worth, the company still gets that cash, so what happens to the stock price after that doesn't matter from the perspective of the company accountants.

A couple of examples:

Groupon: IPOed at $20/share, raising ~$700m. They are currently trading in the $2.70 range. From a company perspective, they killed it by IPO-ing -- they took $700m worth of cash, most of which I believe they still have (as of a few months ago they still had ~$1bn in cash equivalents).

Zynga: IPOed at $10/share, raising roughly $1bn. They are currently trading at $2.48. Same basic story as above. Their current market cap is just about double what they raised in cash at their IPO.

So from two perspectives, these companies did exceedingly well: their investors and founders likely cashed out most of their chips at IPO, so they made a killing, and the company received a tremendous amount of cash for their coffers. Sure, Groupon and Zynga booted their CEOs, but they don't care much, and I'm sure whoever they got to replace them is handsomely compensated (regardless of how well they do).

So who gets screwed? Employees, who don't get to sell their shares until the company has tanked, and whichever investors are stuck holding the bag after IPO. But after the IPO, there's not much of an incentive for these early people to care about that; if they get canned, who cares, they'll cash out their $100m worth of compensation and go work at some other company down the street.

Wow, that was some quote by Sussman. Terrible. However, they will be more skilled at dealing with the crap industry will throw at them.

Far as trustworthy, at least we're seeing a minor resurgence of that. I write about many of those techs. I think Ocaml community is one of best examples. There's an inherently robust language, a good compiler, integration with formal methods via Coq extraction, smart academics invested in it, uptake in industry (i.e. Jane St), and mainstream uptake to a degree. Leroy et al have something really good going on there.

Need more academic stuff like that.
What do you mean?

Satellites are either geostationary or not. If they are not geostationary you need a network of them and complex ground equipment. If they are geostationary, they incur a ping latency of a few hundred milliseconds making them worthless for modern mass Internet usage. Either way, bandwidth is quite limited compared to what is flowing through fibers today.

Also: I am pretty certain US, Russia and China by now are able to kill satellites at will, geostationary or not.

"What is the actual risk here, how many people have been bitten by this sort of thing and what was the resulting damage?"

Exactly. And what I essentially typically say is "the scope of the problem has not been defined".

We see this often on news reports on TV as an example. They go off with hyperbole about some issue but fail to address exactly how many people have been effected by it. Simply saying things like "there is a growing concern..." or cherry picking examples.

We see this now with cases of "police brutality" and use of unwarranted force. It's not that it doesn't exist, but that any reports totally ignore how often it actually happens vs. how many times it doesn't happen.

I'd replace the SAT score with some small, fixed amount of people vouching for you so that you could enter the lottery.
(After all, there might be someone capable who because of some good reasons didn't manage to take SAT, and the system should be just and fair for them, too.)

The amount should not be so large that you'd need the gigantic ad campaigns you need today to be elected, but large enough that you need support outside your immediate family. Maybe ~20. Gathering their 'votes' demonstrates that you're at least interested in the job, and the element of trust is still there (someone trusts you would do a good job, and not doing that would be a betrayal).
