> There has always been a stream of people who opt out of the default grind and go live somewhere where opportunities are fewer in the conventional sense, but life feels more authentic. This could become more common.

That part really struck me. I've long thought that the most incessant effect of the student loan phenomenon is that debt indentures you to working a conventional job in a country at a similar level of economic development as the one where you have the debt. You can't just "drop out" and go live somewhere cheap in southeast Asia where it doesn't take much income to live, because your debt payments are not adjusted for standard of living imbalances.

This is probably obvious to everyone, but I think it's worth noting that it is something holding a lot of people back from doing a lot of what is suggested in the article.

Otherwise it will just lock up as soon as you restore your tabs, and you can't close it.
Sorry, but is this golang concurrent networking pattern correct:

All goroutines receive on the same channel! Instead a new goroutine should be launched for each net conn. One should be able to spawn 1000s (or 1Ms) of conns and avoid ulimits using buffered chans, waitgroups, timeouts, or counters...
> It is right that my life will end. It is right that the old must clear the way for the young and the new. It is the way of things.

Lots of people say that but it's because we are resigned to it. We don't have a choice about growing old and dying.

Just imagine for a minute though that some life extension technology began to really work and could dramatically extend lifespan or prevent aging. Almost everyone who was resigned to aging and death would have a change of heart and would be demanding arbitrarily long lifespans and freedom from aging.
Crashing a browser isn't particularly difficult. It's whether or not the crash is exploitable that is interesting. Where is the technical description of this crash?
Well, the cost of the capital outlay for reasearch and components, along with the ongoing maintenance costs for the robotic replacement should outweigh the cost of training, hiring and paying the human worker for the same job/task. That is what is meant by the "general purpose worker" as a human being cheaper than a robotic one. And is also why most robotic replacements, as far as I'm aware, have been very specialized and in extremely repetitive tasks that require minimal "visual cues".

"the loss function max(0, -xy) is 0 if x and y are the same class and 1 if they are different"

Not exactly because this would be optimizing the number of correctly classified elements.
Instead you minimize the sum of abs(WX) for each misclassified examples.
Or more generally, people could argue about costs of different ways of mitigating deaths because maybe some non-environment-related issues are "cheaper" or "better" in some way to mitigate. There's not just the question of what causes the most deaths, but also the question of what could be done about it and how.

And people do have lots of ideas and arguments about those questions, like effective altruists' ideas about cheap medical interventions.
I have at least a dozen projects, clients, side projects, personal domains, etc., each with a TLS cert. Plus at least 5 certs for work. All of them have different expirations. Some are on Let's Encrypt without auto renew at the moment, meaning they have varying expirations less than 90 days from now.

I would love just a simple iPhone app where I can list my domains and get push notices at 30 or 7 days from expiration. Maybe I should make this myself because I've yet to find one.

Lesson for people to never trust any service provider or wallets (hardware or software) other than deterministic wallets that could be fully reconstructed from a phrase.

Use any service or exchanges for trading only and then swipe funds back to your deterministic wallet after which destroy it, keeping the phrase printed on paper in the safety deposit box.
This is one of the pitfalls of contributing to an open source project, sooner or later (assuming the project gains traction) some company will acquire the project for what for them is peanuts and in the process they'll do what they can to keep the current project the one people will flock to.

That's why we have MariaDB and a whole raft of other projects that are technically closely related to the original and maintained by a number of people that were originally associated with the project but that moved on after an acquisition by forking the project.

Companies as a rule do not like the kind of autonomy that is associated with FOSS.

Maybe this is a solution in this case too, Doug could in theory fork it under a different name and just keep it running (unless his contract prevents him from doing that).
Could you elaborate a bit more? I feel like I'm missing something.

Let's say A puts $100 in the bank. The bank loans $50 to B while still telling A that his full $100 is available for withdrawal. (Fractional reserve.) B pays C $50 for services. The services fail to make a profit for B and B defaults on the bank loan. The bank writes it off as a loss.

In this scenario, after a default, A still has $100 and C has $50. Total money supply is $150; money supply delta is +50.

Say instead that B gets $55 from D (the services were a good investment), and pays back the loan with $5 as interest. Now the money supply delta is 0: (100 0 0 55) has changed to (100 0 50 0) plus 5 profit for the bank.

The only thing I can think of is fractional reserve requirements somehow cause the new money in the first scenario to disappear.

Until you cite some statistics (specifically the residential vacancy rate), you are in fact just repeating stories and anecdotes.
I tend to agree with his summary:

Economic growth occurs either because we produce more of existing things, or because we introduce new things that that are more valuable than the old things we produced – which shows up in relative price differences. The level of absolute prices is irrelevant. The level of nominal spending is irrelevant. The stock of money is irrelevant.

One of the things that I find challenging, is explaining that the "rich" don't have all the money in a bank somewhere and if they would just let it out there would be more for the "not rich" people. When someone's portfolio invests in corporate bonds that the corporation issuing those bonds is using the proceeds to increase their production, they are creating an expansion in the economy which will provide jobs for people and by working money for them to spend. And yet the company will pay back the bonds and the rich person will still have all their "money" and more people will now have jobs.

There's nothing in ES6 that warrants breaking Express's compatibility with older runtimes. And HTTP 2.0 probably is better off in a new framework that's designed from scratch for it. (I'm not a great fan of HTTP 2.0 and would rather see Express unburdened by its complexity.)

>Don't worry that you'll mess up your career or anything else by taking some time to do something adventurous

If I could go back and tell myself something, or if I had kids to advise, this is the essence of it.

Once you've got your basic needs met, anything you do to enrich your character is going to make you a more compelling person. Don't squander your 20s and 30s. Take advantage of opportunities that present themselves, because it's a lot harder to cultivate new opportunities from scratch.

GP, if you can actually afford to pick up and try something new, you really ought to do it. It's so easy nowadays: pick a city and spend two weeks at an Airbnb. If you like it, stay longer, and if not, go back or go somewhere else.
It's an interesting approach. I think "minimizing cost" might better be described as minimizing salaries, since the business of businesses is not saving money but rather making it.
The other thing with vacuums is that for many people, especially those with kids and pets, vacuuming and sweeping is a pretty frequent task that usually takes more than a few minutes.

Mowing lawns is the other obvious task that falls into this category and, indeed, robotic lawnmowers do seem to be coming onto the market.
The point is that even if you personally didn't look over the source code, you'd be able to if you'd like to, and it's likely that people other than you have already looked at it.

This greatly reduces the opportunity for a developer or some other entity to introduce malicious code -- and even if that occurs, you reserve the right to remove it yourself and modify the programs you use as you see fit.
By skirt I meant avoid. It's a lot easier to violate a treaty by not even recognizing it. By that logic, Iran and North Korea would have been better off not signing it too. North Korea actually announced its withdrawal from the NPT in 2003.
In the case of these slides, the loss function is max(0, -xy) and the error function is the sum of these. So, the error function is the number of incorrectly classified examples (if x and y are different, it adds 1 to the error), which is exactly what we hope to minimize.

x=1,y=1 => max(0, -(1 x 1)) = 0.

x=1,y=-1 => max(0, -(-1 x 1)) = 1.

x=-1,y=1 => max(0, -(1 x -1)) = 1.

x=-1,y=-1 => max(0, -(-1 x -1)) = 0.

So what? The words that you're saying are on the tips of every Microsoft-hating Linux fanboy's tongue.

> ...the Windows problems are harder because...

Oh please. The Linux problems are harder because most of the time the solution doesn't exist at all ~ (e.g. Does a driver even exist for a particular device? Does it actually work though? Can I get a particular piece of industry-standard software? Probably not (but oh - here's an actually hideous emulation (WINE) of a much better GUI system (Windows) that you can TRY and run it on... ).

> ...if you type the things into the terminal, it actually fixes the problem.

Good one - please tell me what to type to be able to run Linux on a touch screen tablet, so I can run Linux in the same places I can run Windows. Also, what do I type to get a decent desktop GUI experience?
Don't hold your breath on the hydrogen fuel cell. Hydrogen makes a terrible battery. Cynically, I believe the Bush administration pushed hydrogen fuel cells because they knew they were unsuitable, copying the existing paradigm of liquid fuel and filling stations but failing to compete with petroleum on cost, convenience, or even environmental sustainability - in fact all the ways of making hydrogen involve petroleum!
I too want to see citations for the above poster's assertions.

I'm also curious to see a citation for this statement, "Just submit code and prove yourself. Yet, diversity advocates generally see this as not helping minorities in tech.", since I'm curious to read their reasoning.

I actually would expect and hope that such a process doesn't help minorities. I also would expect and hope that it also doesn't help those that are not minorities. After all, isn't a fair, blind process the most just approach we can hope for? However, I think this is where there is a big, largely unrecognized schism, and that is the schism between those that advocate for equality and those that advocate for equity. Those two unfortunately are not the same. I personally am an advocate for equality.

+1 for understanding study methodology and what biases may be present. AFAIK, the study is this one here, http://elephantinthevalley.com/

They state the criteria for including a respondent in the survey, but I didn't find out if the 200+ women included in the study were randomly sampled from all women they "found" who met the criteria or if this represented the entire population of all the women they "found" who met that criteria. An explanation of how they were "found" was also absent.

The final sentence in the introductory block "We encourage you to read, discuss, and add your anonymous stories to this initiative." suggests that self selection bias may influence these figures.

I submitted the following comment on the site: "Could you please add a section on your site describing in detail the study/survey methodologies used? I'm particularly interested in knowing more about how survey participants were selected.". I wish all studies and surveys like this voluntarily shared their methodology along with their results.

I'm a pretty fit guy, but I'm sure the recoil of a gun could break my wrist (well, maybe a desert eagle, I was pretty good with a kalshnikov on my military trainig). I spend more time typing on a keyboard than on a shooting range (which is kind of expected, i'm a programmer). I doubt you can apply such logic as a large scale solution. Do we begin introducing shooting classes in high school, to protect all our citizens?

As for your bet - the paradigm would shift from bullying all people to bullying frail people and avoid rednecks, as far as the violent cops go. This would hardly solve the problem.

At least with free software there is the hope that malicious code will get picked up on by someone with an interest in reading the source, who would then make that functionality known to others.

It starts out promising, but as the author speaks on Obama the bias becomes clear. Yes, there is a kind of accidental conspiracy--people deciding in their best interest and the best interest of their own children, rather than the best interest of the people as a whole. Yes, we have become so focused on the D and the R that no real choice happens, and the way we present the election has a lot to do with it.

The Thiel quote you're referencing is from an interview with the author of this blog post, Tyler Cowen. Thiel was answering an audience member's question about the desirability of life extension[1]:

> We accept that we’re all going to die, and so we don’t do anything, and we think we’re not going to die anytime soon, so we don’t really need to worry about it. We have this sort of schizophrenic combination of acceptance and denial, like extreme pessimism and extreme optimism. It converges to doing nothing, and I’d like us to just fight it a little bit more for its own sake.

In some cases, you can patent a major application for that algorithm and then license that patent. From what I know Larry and Sergey patented PageRank for Web Search. My advisor has patent on a Graph Cuts algorithm for image segmentation, which is licensed by Cornell. If you have a fast matrix multiplication algorithm e.g. for use in Fully Connected layers for Neural Nets. You can patent that application. When FB hired people from NYU to work on deep learning, the acquisition involved getting a fast fourier transform optimized version of convolutional layers. Not sure how big of a component it was.

Thanks for the helpful explanation! Those seem like fair mitigations.

Reading more on it, though, since isTrusted can apparently be spoofed, it looks like the main obstacles are the (2) rate-limiting and the (3) intentional collisions.

For (2), I suspect typical users would have a memorizable master password that's more susceptible to brute forcing, but of course it depends on the actual rate limit and how long you can keep the script running. Alternatively, I suppose a malicious script could overwhelm the rate limit so that the user wouldn't receive a legitimate warning.

For (3), I wonder whether LastPass has a similar mitigation? From what I understand, they don't store the actual password, so all you would need is a matching hash.

I'd be interested to know more details about LastPass's protections.

I hope I didn't just skim a long-winded explanation of money velocity... in some attempt to debug the usefulness of increasing the money supply in a real economy.
What is there to research? Money is a debt based measurement of economic output. Measurements do not exist of themselves but describe something else.

Take an acre of land for example. It is measured at 1 acre. Just because we decide to pretend that it is 2 acres is arbitrary and makes no difference in physical reality.

Though I would agree that money is far more abstract and obfuscated as measurement system and is at heart a confidence game. So, it may be that arbitrarily doubling the money supply could alter psychological perceptions positively or negatively even though it is pure abstraction. The word Voodoo comes to mind
> This means I am equally depending on the developer of the free software not to be malicious as I am the nonfree software.

You're typically not the only person who is capable of looking at the code. If there are malicious features you can, in principle, go and see what they are and disable them. More likely, you can depend on others to do it, or you can even hire someone to do it for you. These options are not even available with non-free software.

There is a further purely psychological matter. People are more likely to behave nicely if they feel watched. If they are publishing the source code, they are less likely to be malicious, because they know that anyone can, in principle, inspect their malice. This results in fewer malicious features.

In the case of Firefox doing things like Pocket or Hello or whatever, people can and do go ahead and replace Firefox with things like GNU Icecat or Debian Iceweasel that can remove these unwanted features. Or Firefox extension authors can provide extensions to modify almost anything about Firefox, a task which is facilitated by having access to all of Firefox's source code.
