2 years is a very loooong time! Several things that are working in your favour:

1. Facebook makes revenue from advertising. People are being increasingly turned off by advertising. As people close accounts, the management gets worried and pushes advertising even more. Advertisers buy eyeballs/clicks/impressions - whatever - it's all about the numbers. Less users, means less value, hence less revenue to FB.

2. The cool kids don't use what they parents and grandparents use. So as the "oldies" join, the youngsters drop off. But the oldies don't like advertising either ...

3. FB does NOT pay dividends. So why would you buy shares other than to sell at a profit? Which sooner or later ends up being a re-run of the Tulip Bulb craze. As soon as there are no buyers to be found at a particular price point, the prices collapse and increasing numbers of people try to offload which then pushes prices further down.

Caveat: I'm an engineer not a stock broker nor an accountant, the following is my back of the envelope calcs.

4. If FB responds to market pressure and decides to pay a dividend, then based on current revenues of $3b and 2.74b shares, you could expect a dividend around 50c which, looking WPP Holdings 2014 financials for comparison (eps 85, div 38, sp 1400), would have a FB share price approx $20 - compare this to currently at $105 ($38 at IPO).

Based on the above, the users and investors will bring about the demise you need to safeguard your bet.

BTW: Did you see the 1983 movie "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd?

The FSF ideology was born at a time where the level of bidirectional mistrust between closed source software vendors and open source advocates was a lot higher than it is currently. The world has evolved since then and the business world now embraces open source, possibly for reasons that have nothing to do with ideology (shared r&d costs, commoditising lower layers of the stack and the realization that you can just as easily get lock in with open source software as you can with closed source). In a world where even Microsoft is releasing more and more of its crown jewels as open source every given week, the FSF position can appear out of place but this I think is a testament of how far we have come on the original goals of the project.
I think I like the components, command, dispatcher (I call it CCD) way that React and Redux deals with UI! MVVM, MVC, and MVP just don't scale like CCD. MVVM, MVC, and MVP also make it very hard to reason with your code unless it is a very simple single model maps to a view and a controller. MVVM, MVC, and MVP also are very bad at being composable unlike CCD.

Essentially, if you think that a currency will be worth more tomorrow than it is today there is little reason for investment (or even spending!). It quickly becomes a spiral where no one wants to spend. Inflation provides a nice kick in the pants for people to put their money to good use.

This isn't a concern yet for Bitcoin because in the scheme of world economies BTC simply doesn't matter (it could go away tomorrow without any noticeable effects), but if in the future it becomes a critical thing it would be a major concern.

>It's easy to see how under the pressure, the lights and expectations one could misinterpret the card.

The winner is the only name on the right side. The card obviously reads top to bottom, left to right (which is what a reader of English would expect because it's how you read a book), with the winner on the bottom right. And it has MISS UNIVERSE 2015 over the winning name in all caps - in a font size larger than the runners up.

Was he never even shown an example card before being handed that? Has Steve Harvey never read from a teleprompter or a cue card? Never done a live show? I don't think the card being poorly designed is the problem. That card seems unambiguous to me.

Edit: I've read from some sources that the telemprompter was wrong. If that's true then there is the problem, still not the card.
The BBC article you linked contradicts your argument:

> 3. Colleges continue to justify costs based on lifetime earnings delta of people with degrees. Sadly, this data is backwards-looking and not indicative of what today's students should expect.

Not only that, it's downright bullshit.

I remember seeing once a comparison. Non college degree average salary: let's say it's 30K. College degree: 40K. Instead of college, take those 4 years and at least $50K of educational expenses and invest in the S&P 500. Do nothing. Earn more over your lifetime that the more sophisticated 40K college graduate.

Or better yet, take that 50K, use the plethora of free online learning resources and become an entrepreneur. For a large portion of the population, college is simply not worth it.
Lyft is like non-exist in China. Uber is currently second to Didi with about one third of its market share.
Sure, because 'you' aren't really a generalist. You are just a 'junior' developer that dabbles a bit in things.

Don't get me wrong, someone like that has a place in some companies, but it is the difference between being payed 20 bucks an hours vs 200.

All the stuff I've mentioned before, I've done. I've worked in more industries than some have jobs. Right now, I can pick and choose what I do and get payed way too much for it. I didn't specialise (but I admit there is a place for that) but I have enough breadth that I can go from games, to AI, to 'deep learning', to crud, to mobile apps without an issue, and with all that baggage, I can ask for the big money as well. Let me just put a quick list of language where I've worked professionally charging those values:

- C

- C++

- Ruby

- Objective C/Swift

- Haskell

- F#

- Java/Kotlin

- Python

- C# (and Visual Basic, both .net and not)

- Delphi

- Borland Builder C++ (I don't even remember the right name)

This isn't a brag, seriously, just to point out that what a lot of people consider to be generalist aren't even scratching the surface of it.
The problem with technological ignorance
Looks very cool!
I coincidentally spent most of the weekend reading about OBD-II and CANs. I'd like to get a RasPi/Arduino with a temperature sensor connected and send CAN messages to regulate interior temperature for example.

From what I gather, CAN messages are not broadcasted through the OBD port for sniffing, but once we know the proprietary CAN commands (VW in my case), we can send them through?
Ie. For finding what car button sends what message, does one have to splice some cables to tap into the CAN bus?
Dr. Charlie Miller & Chris Valasek wrote a nice paper on the subject back in 2013, and they hacked together their own cable:
http://illmatics.com/car_hacking.pdf

Being able to control the car's to implement my own features from reverse camera to remote start sounds very appealing.
Surprised being a LISPer you haven't read Gabriel's Worse is Better essays on the topic. Convincingly argue the reason behind the uptake of certain tech is they do just enough of a good job to work and for a lot of people. Then they get extended gradually in direction of what they should've been. C and UNIX were perfect examples of this on crappy hardware of 70's-80's. By 90's, it was legacy effect in play for various reasons. Still is.

Throw in organizations competing for money or ideology to get a bunch of implementations of a language that was shit to begin with. So, it was more the opposite of what you claim: too many groups trying to make things convenient for themselves in the short-run. LISPers did something similar with their individual messes getting merged into Common LISP. Those doing it clean and sensible on the right hardware were always the outliers.
I totally understand this aspect but what I do not understand is why anyone would ever pay $150K for a media studies degree or a degree in baking. Are Americans that stupid to pursue meaningless education at such price ?

Yes it does matter because I don't eat 1/4th the amount of food that my "meal plan" forced me to pay. I also can't shop around for cheaper options - i am required to buy food from one source. That was almost 2 decades ago so I'm sure its gotten much worse since.
I'm not sure that Europe is actually much better than the US in terms of attitudes towards suburban/car-centric design, I think the reason why we have mostly avoided it is down simply to the historic patterns of development. Certainly in Britain, anywhere outside the major cities, most of the development seems to be extremely suburban - estates of tiny detached houses with tiny private gardens/yards, often just off a roundabout on a main road, tacked on to the edge of an existing town or village, without any idea about creating new public spaces, or walkability. Often these estates are mandated to have only one exit or entrance, in order to discourage crime (this is called 'security by design', and naturally kills any sense of a continuous settlement). This is still going full throttle even now.

Office Parks are dying because the way our careers are going has changed. Many people change jobs every 2-3 years rather than dedicate their life at a single Big Employer. Living in the Suburbs and working at an office park is a very inflexible setup. Working in SF and commuting in from Oakland for example will enable you to change jobs more frequently without uprooting your life.
>Amid reports of Lyft’s financial struggles in its recently leaked financials, it’s obvious why the company seeks to raise so much money — the on-demand transportation market is a tough place to operate, especially with competition like Uber. According to Bloomberg, the ridesharing startup took a net loss of $127 million in the first half of this year while bringing in less than $47 million in revenue.

Does anybody know how this loss compares to Uber? I don't recall any of their financials being leaked recently.
yes, transaction fees
Kotlin looks like a very nice language. I wonder if the Kotlin developers have considered adding an ObjC backend, or alternatively, an LLVM-based native code backend for Apple platforms that sits atop the ObjC runtime, uses reference counting instead of garbage collection, where every Kotlin object is an NSObject, etc. That would enable an app developer to target Android, the web, and iOS with some code sharing across platforms and minimal overhead on each platform.
The permissive license of LLVM means that you can build it into tools. So in that one case, the political difference of the license does lead to a technical difference.
In defense of office parks, I did enjoy living in lower rent/property price areas in the suburbs near an office park. Downtown living (where I am now) is expensive as hell. However, my employer has plopped their new office right in the middle of the most expensive real estate, and next door to the "Mecca" (as my real estate agent called it) of expensive condos. Great! So it's either hellish commute or expensive rent. I opted for expensive rent. :-\
Nobody on HN pointed out who is behind the increase... This is BitFury who just launched a 40 megawatt data center filled up with their new 16 nm chips which reportedly achieve approximately 0.06 joule per gigahash. They also use immersion cooling which gives them an insane PUE of 1.02. So the mining capacity of this DC alone is ~650 Phash/s! We saw an increase of ~200 Phash/s in the last 30 days, so presumably they are at only operating at 1/3rd of their capabilities so far:

40e6 (watt) / 0.06 (joule/gigahash) / 1e6 (petahash/gigahash) = ~650 petahash/second

Best i can tell, it comes from the -sec community. This because a encrypted HDD in a laptop is at its safest when the laptop is turned fully off. At that point you have no keys in RAM or anything like that. Thus when you do not use your computer you turn it off, you do not sleep, you do not hibernate, you turn it off.

The systemd devs have a thing about listening to the -sec community. You can see this in how while the Linux default is to treat namespace mounts at private, systemd mount them as shared unless told otherwise. This because the -sec people recommend it that way (allows a sysadmin to override mounts from outside the namespace, to avoid dos-ing apparently).

Then again they also have a bit of theater in them. For example they accepted a patch to lock the computer if a HID devices was plugged in. But while the original patch did it on any device, they modified it so that it only happens on the device ids of known mouse wigglers used in police computer seizure kits.

What the story ignores, but the data makes quite clear, is that Germany is already an outlier here, regardless of the level of education. Probably because income is less associated with educational level in a richer, more functional society like Germany. Also notice from the data that the difference between educated and less-educated folks is very slight, in terms of social media engagement.
I have only read the text diagonally while looking for some keywords, but my 2 cents: in many cases, when a neuroscience study claims to be able to "predict" something, they mean "var X and var Y show a strong correlation". Actual predictive power is not checked unless there is a real test set that is left out of the training phase and all that (cross-validation, etc).

When this article claims:

> When data from GAD patients and healthy controls were combined, relatively low CHO predicted both relatively higher IQ and worry scores.

... it is actually saying that CHO is inversely correlated with higher IQ and worry scores.

(Unless, again, as noted above, they are cross-validating in a way that was not obvious to me when I checked for it.)

From the first sentence of the conclusion:

> It should be noted, however, that... the mean IQ for the GAD group was elevated in comparison to the control group (a mean of ∼119 versus a mean of ∼109). Further, the IQ means for both the GAD group and the control group were significantly higher than the average IQ of the general population (∼100). Results should thus be interpreted with the consideration that the study sample is non-representative of the general population.
What did you think about Modula-3? I like how it had much of what a C++ programmer might want in a cleaner, safer, faster-to-compile way. Most Modula and Oberon derived languages had little to no undefined behavior outside the Unsafe modules. All were used to write OS's & other low-level code. Optional GC where it was tolerable. IIRC, Modula-3 also had verification done on its standard modules to catch certain errors.

Some of the design attributes might be worth resurrecting in another project. Minus the capitalized keywords. :)

socialism doesnt allow for private ownership anything, everything is "public" or controlled by the governing class. a person owning what they produce ie private ownership of capital is a key part of of the free market. also that "capitalist class" you describe literally is what the government does in socialist or communist societies, and other governments do to a lesser degree in many western societies through taxes. in that the capital that was produced by an individual is taken by force for what the government deems most useful. I mean a free market is literally people voluntarily trading goods and services. so a "worker" would be defined as someone voluntarily trading a service for the means o aquire a good or service. now I dont argue for some anarcho capitalist society, but when you look at societies where the government had few responsibilities, those being defined as protecting citizens and resolving disputes because not everyone is going to play nice so taking taxes for those few things I can see as being justified. those societies that have a small government gain higher standards of living within a few generations. if an individual takes the services of another without voluntary cooperation which you defined as a "capitalist class", can only arise if that individual uses governments power to stamp out competition through taxes and laws, being for a free market does not mean being pro corporatism. ive heard people use the term crony capitalism or crapitalism for that. it seems you are caught up in labels and intents and not looking at the actual system or efficacy.
Anonymous cryptocurrencies then? I see that would be more complicated...

But still technical anonymity sounds like a weak justification for technical obsolescence. For cash, credit card systems on retail don't even get your name... I think it could be arranged online even with traditional systems. Specially if it was a national demand, this is the kind of thing you can force companies to do with laws (or they would develop themselves).

I think a more obvious explanation would be related to their insularity -- they are probably the least integrated developed country (due to geographical, linguistic and cultural reasons). Some of those technologies by themselves aren't really that significant for personal productivity (I think that can be another factor), but combined they make a big difference I think.

That depends. Microcode tends to be used in CPUs rather than regular ASICs and not all CPUs have re-writable microcode (though quite a few of them do). So unless you're talking about a CPU the answer is probably 'no'.

You probably have a bigger chance that there is an FPGA on board that you can re-load.
