That's a farce. Someone can take control of someone else's bitcoin wallet. Then there's the question of refunds and when you can write off an unclaimed bitcoin refund.

>It's not fraud that caused the financial crisis.

Fraud wasn't the initial spark, but it was what turned the American 2008 housing market slump from a self contained bust into a global financial crisis.
It's not progress in any technical sense. I ran Autocad on an 8mhz 8088 PC with 1 megabyte of RAM. It was more capable than anything that runs on a phone these days. It could be automated with Lisp and command scripts. The interface could be altered with menu files.

That's the CAD market, it's surface features not deep capability.

This article was a morbid piece of shock journalism, the kind of thing you'd read for the same reasons that you can't stop looking at a gruesome car crash. So I'm actually pretty happy that I was able to remove the nag message in Firebug and read the article with my ad blocker turned on. I would regret it if GQ made money off of my visit and used that money to write more articles like this.
The first rule of getting hired is never to show any sign of humility or weakness.

Pity that once you are actually in the job, it's not very helpful to have a bunch of egomaniacal Dunning-Kruger cases running around.
What are your thoughts on new hires who, when you tell them something, don't believe you, on the principle that you've lied to them before?

Alternately: if we were to try and write this function:

fn isStatementTrue (statement){

and apply it to your statements to jobseekers and employees, how many lines of code would be necessary for it to achieve a 99% accuracy rate?
I didn't think the idea that Koreans were so plugged into the Internet that they were replacing actual human contact with virtual dinners had much weight. I suspect that people watch and donate because they enjoy it. They are entertained.

It's the future of entertainment. We are seeing it in the West with Twitch.tv. People donate to their favourite streamers and companies sponsor them.

I've been getting into watching and following various ARMA3 role play streams. About a dozen streamers out of a couple hundred players will be interacting in the online world with its own rules, laws and codes of behaviour and we as audience get to see into the world through their eyes at the same time, get to see the same event through the eyes of a gamer playing a policeman or a gangster. It's essentially improvisational acting, and there's a huge potential here for some great entertainment. I think that's what's new.

But what makes it the future is that it's interactive, there is a community. The people on the other side of the stream interact back, sometimes directly to you, and you can interact directly with them. This may not be new - but it's new within this new field of entertainment, and I'm optimistic about it.
I can't stand JS and Go syntax, I tried a few times... This is the worst thing that happened to humanity after in XXI century. I feel more comfortable with Prolog than with JS.
> The "community" model of github is like that of an online strategy game, it's based on bragging about numbers. Stars, commits, followers.

I don't care about any of those things and I think that that goes for the majority of contributors to github open source projects. What does matter is the number of contributors to a project and how involved they are, that's a useful metric.
does this effect deep learning at all?

Because the insurance would have been way too expensive, or would have demanded way better operational security and auditing. And because they were able to operate without one.
If you're just concerned about employment then you'll probably be fine with java (maybe go in the future). If you're looking for self-improvement then its always a good idea to learn a new language, especially if it does something different like Rust's borrow checker. Outside of that, I also used to do all my hobby code in C++ and after learning Rust I'm never going back to C++.
Not cool. Please don't take HN threads on flamewar tangents.

Therefore, if someone can dislike this act, why can't the opposite be true and there exist people that like to watch people eat?

In a way Go is a step backwards from C towards Pascal. Since a number of people that had extensive C experience and were in fact present at the birth of the C language made that decision I figure they are doing it for a good reason.

I can read Go easily enough, I haven't done any major writing in it (yet), other than some minor work on Hugo trying to help to nail down/replicate a bug. It was easy enough that I think I'd pick it up quite fast, the syntax feels 'weird' to me but that's most likely just unfamiliarity.

Awesome site. Ever since I saw fivestar.io I've been wanting to do an Amazon affiliate site. He gave an update a couple of months after launch and said he was making a nice ~$300/month.
I started playing around with Rust a few weeks ago and fell in love; it has some quirks for sure (the whole borrowing system is a bit tough to grok at first) but it didn't take long for me to start seeing things the "Rust way." My only hang-up with it right now is that so many of the most useful packages in Cargo depend on the nightly build of Rust.
Sounds like a manifesto to stop trend of incorporating in Singapore. Almost all of India's unicorns are Singapore incorporated. I'd say the capital gains scheme proposed by India is more sustainable than what Singapore offers to overseas companies. Basically, if you exit and become and angel investor, you pay no capital gains tax. I sincerely hope this will boost number of investors in coming decade as the ecosystem matures with exits.

This sounds simple, but the repercussions in 10-15 year window are very profound.
The halting problem is only a problem with an infinite amount of RAM. If you limit the amount of state, it's relatively easy (although still exponentially long) to solve.
Biometrics are an excellent technology for tracking convicts because they can't be changed.

Edit: Downvotes? Prisons and corrections would love this thing for checking convicts identities. They already use fingerprints and mugshots which are cruder biometrics. This is just taking it to the next level.
> proud to have a system that does imprison bankers

I am somewhat puzzled by this sentiment that it is good to imprison bankers. That is by no means an Iceland-only thing, you can see it elsewhere as well. But I find that scary. People should go to jail simply because someone hates their jobs, legal ones?

I can fully understand that bankers, like everyone else, should go to jail when they commit fraud, insider trading or similar crimes. I understand that is what was done in Iceland.

But the discourse is usually about just being a banker is enough to warrant someone being hanged or sent to jail, with the being banker itself being a serious crime. It's a silly rhetoric trick that makes me suspicious of these prosecutions.

Why do you have to solve a big problem to start a company? People start companies that do run of the mill things all the time and there's nothing wrong with that. To a certain type of person, starting and growing a company is inherently more rewarding than working for someone else, regardless of whether the company is doing something sexy or novel. If you might be the type of person who enjoys autonomy, responsibility, owning/growing/managing something, wearing a lot of hats, and so on, you don't have to wait for a world-changing idea to go into business.
Your criticism seems to be well-founded in past experience, however as a casual developer and supported of Drupal sites for my own businesses and some charities, it 'just works', looks good, and is reasonably easy to look after. All my clients, are happy with the results. I have not ever bothered to examine performance nor work on it beyond enabling caching because there hasn't been a need to.

Now admittedly these are not sites with millions of visitors, however several run on a single 2GB RAM VPS. And, yes, there is the problem with version upgrades, which in the past I've handled by a site redesign every several years, and paying someone to handle the data migration / mapping.

From my point of view Drupal 'just works' for me (and several other web guys I know), clients are happy, hosting is cheap, and site performance is fine. In a world where there is always something to do, I still don't intend to look into it further than this, or fret over changing CMS because there is no need to.

The choice of wood has everything to do with design. If all he wanted was function, wouldn't it make sense to just go buy a laptop? In terms of pure function, ignoring such things as the look and feel of wood, do you really think you can improve on a mass produced laptop?

You can trivialize "style" if you want, but in this case, it is what makes the difference between "everybody else's laptop" and a beautiful work of craftsmanship.

I think the commonality of "three years experience" is probably more a function of the author searching for jobs in the design side of industry. The fact that portfolio requirements come as a shock and are seen as a burden suggests unfamiliarity with design culture. Filtering people based on their commitment or non-commitment to aesthetics is legitimate here...and design aesthetics aren't about resolution.

Anyway, the portfolio requirement is meant to balance the experience requirement.

Now you're talking about capital and influence. But they're not interchangeable with talking at conferences and better access to a VC's ear.

In tech, talking at a conference is meaningful in a way that it isn't in a lot of other industries. I'm not saying tech conferences are set to turn bland and contentless any time soon, but there is nothing inherently influential about them. They're just a trapping of influence that _could_ change with the winds.

VC is fetish. Venture funding is nether necessary nor sufficient to having capital. Taking VC means a founder limits the amount they can make off of a successful company and also ties that company to an unrealistic trajectory reducing their chances of profitability. Finally, the founder doesn't actually control the capital. They have temporary authority over someone else's, to be used only for a specific purpose.

>I'm not sure I get the hate on bankers.

Because they're parasites on the real economy? You effectively have to pay taxes to the banking system to engage in the real economy. Taxes which get spent on gold watches and sports cars.

>Can someone explain why I should feel anger instead?

Depends. Do you believe that fraud should be a crime? It's currently not being prosecuted as a crime on Wall Street.
Very true, and that's why newer languages are designed to limit the amount of damage average programmers can cause, while maintaining the same level of performance. See Rust for example.

Sorry, small rant incoming. Ignore at will!

I would still argue that good C++ programmers are exceptionally rare. I've worked with C++ professionally for roughly a decade (and as a hobby for many years before that), and despite using it and reading about it and fighting it and reasoning with it, I still don't consider myself a good C++ programmer. I've met several self-proclaimed good C++ programmers, but I've only ever met one I'd genuinely call good.

He had experience in a dozen languages, half of them functional, and he produced code that was concise, maintainable, fast, documented, with correct pre- and post-conditions. Perhaps the best part was that he created interfaces that were a joy to use and very hard to misuse. He didn't like C++, but he knew how to make it work anyway. It was a joy to work with him.

Contrast with your average C++ programmer who will overuse templates (hey, it's generic), generate a deep class hierarchy (hey, it's object oriented), of course with tons of setters and mutable state (parallelism? isn't that like std::thread and stuff?) and then waste time micro-optimizing anyway (hey, C++ is fast). Bonus points for avoiding the STL because "the STL is slow" (== game programmer, although this is becoming less common nowadays). Extra bonus points for arguing that GCs are slow, and then littering the code std::shared_pointer everywhere.

These days, I go as far as to say that anyone who only has C++ in his toolbelt is not a particularly good C++ programmer, simply because of the lack of perspective.

Tagging Amazon with the same world-dominating price cutting that Walmart has practiced is a little bit unfair, as they offer a lot of other unique things a long side of just purchasing stuff. The most notable feature being that you don't have to leave your house to buy stuff.

Are there many small businesses competing on these terms? If a service exists that allows me to save my time by not having to schlep myself to some store across town only to find that what I wanted is out of stock, or doesn't fit, or etc, then isn't it my prerogative to take advantage of it? Indeed, isn't the burden of proof on the companies that don't offer this to explain why I should shop there?

Amazon beats the competition on prices, selection, ease-of-use, logistics, and customer service, but I'm a bad person for buying from them? Oh let's not forget that the vast majority of mom-and-pop stores aren't offering insurance or benefits to their employees, selling mostly ethically sourced products (not saying Amazon does, just that most other people don't either), or finding ways to reduce their supply-chain footprint.

I'm not trying to say that Amazon is a saint, but let's not idealize everyone that isn't a huge corporation. People are people.
That's coming.

I've been explaining this perspective to most clients for years, almost word for word. Specifically the question/focus: "do any users love our product so much they spontaneously tell other people to use it?"

I'm excited to now have an "official" source I can easily cite for it!

I think there are some businesses where this might be less true, but it's pretty rare.
Fair enough. You didn't say 'simply'; I just wanted to emphasize that the problem I have is that you appear to be reducing something that opinions are clearly divided on, and something that I'd say is clearly complicated, to a 'simple' matter.

> To me, if someone creates (or has) something unique, and doesn't want someone else to have it, then they should not. It doesn't matter to me whether it's freely available on the pirate bay, or locked up in their sock drawer; they created it, not me, and if they want me to have it, they'll either give it to me, or make it available to me to purchase.

That's what I would call an argument that comes across as 'simple'. Self-evident, almost. But because so many intelligent, moral people disagree, there's probably some element in there that you're oversimplifying (from the perspective of those who hold a different point of view). Not acknowledging that is what bothered me, but of course it's fair enough if you hold this view and express it as your perspective.

Anyways, I do see your point, and I do respect it. The way I see it, nobody can fault you for choosing to be more 'restrictive' or 'narrow' in your ethical framework (where 'narrow' is not meant as an insult)!

For me the best habits and skills I developed happened when a burn action developed into an enjoyable action, in article's terms. For instance, I once used to work as a windsurfing instructor. On average it takes 10 lessons for a beginner to catch the wind. What I saw was that most people would quit because the first 10 lessons are all 'burn'. Imagine pulling out a heavy sail out of water for an hour straight just to fall back into the water. But, on your 10th you catch the wind and it's fun like nothing else (almost). The problem is that you don't see a gradual increase in enjoyment until you start surfing. What I'm saying is sometimes burn takes a while until you see results.
I mean if the program requires too much RAM then it will either crash & stop or glitch and run forever, but you can always tell which way it will break :)

And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches.

Yesterday my friend created an account for me to use in Tunisia (in our country we can't buy online [aka our currency is not convertible])
The problem is even it detected I'm in tunisia when I connected via my iPad and using the website to watch in my chromecst and without proxy it didn't work (after loading I get an error alert "u can't use proxy" )

So I guess they are showing all available content but when try to watch test my location and it's weird

I still can't find content to watch in my country or a real solution :(

By the way even the content original Netflix is unavailable :/
For a body that's nearly spherical like the Earth you do a multipole expansion. Most of the gravity comes from a monopole (just a point mass at the center of gravity). Then you calculate (or measure) the contribution to the gravitational field from a quadrupole moment, and then an octupole moment and so on.
