Oh no, they expire.

Basically, season tickets tend to come in two flavors...

For teams with rather low demand (Like, say, southern NHL teams, and most (all?) baseball teams), the season ticket represents a significant discount over single game tickets, and generally are relatively easy to acquire - I had Carolina Hurricanes tickets for a few years, and by the time you add up the steep discount on the tickets themselves, flat rate parking pass (Not included, but again, a steep discount), and not paying any Ticketmaster/"Convienence" fees, it cost me less than half (on a per game basis) what buying single game tickets would cost.

At the other end of the spectrum, you have high-demand teams that sell out 99.9% of games, like most Canadian NHL teams, and many NFL teams. There, practically all seats are held by season ticket holders (whose annual season ticket price is usually the same as, or sometimes even HIGHER than (hypothetical, generally not available) single game ticket pricing), and where the "rights" to a season ticket can trade for lots of $$$ (thousands) on the secondary market.... you can't just buy tickets, you have to buy an existing ticket holder's account, essentially. A bit like taxi medallions in NYC.

Thanks for writing this, Tom. Coding as an employee isn't right for me, either.

By and large, programmers generally make great employees. Many brilliant people are able to knock out their assigned and existential objectives by solving complex problems and are handsomely rewarded with hefty checks. But, if you ask them questions outside their comfort zone about, for example, running a business, designing for the user, or marketing, most would be quick to point out that those aren't responsibilities that fall on their plate.

To me, it sounds like you have a fervor for being more than just an employee. You want to take ownership of your work. You want to use your brain for your own benefit, not for some other corporation to rent out. You want the grittiness of taking on multiple roles and welcome being side by side with your users.

There are many of us out here, coding as self-starters, founders, freelancers, remote workers, and small business owners. It isn't for everyone, and if you are happy or content with your full time job, then it's probably not for you. That's ok.

But for those of us who have found ways to make it work outside of what can feel like the soul-crushing environment of a typical full-time workplace, the devs building on their own, grinding out client work, doing remote year, making products - ask any of them, and you'll find that coding as a employee wasn't right for them, either.

I'd encourage you to read my post on the way I fell into this line of thought, but for me, I was coming from a job that I actually really liked: http://davekiss.com/getting-started-with-passive-income/

You don't need to code as an employee to code as a career. Be honest with yourself; are you an employee, or a founder?
Fair enough, I'm planning on adding in more released apps versus concepts, but wanted to have some variety initially.

At its base description level, the ACA exchange is something that's been done before. What made it so complex was the sheer number of systems the exchange had to properly communicate with. But there were teams of people with enough domain knowledge to come in, figure out what the problems were, and fix them. I don't know if aircraft are the same. You might run into the problem that all the people who have the knowledge who could help you solve the problem are already working on the problem! Some of this stuff is so specialized and so different than what is done anywhere else that you won't get experience with it unless you do it.

I've seen this idea tried in the defense industry a number of times and it's not really successful.
> The world's spy agencies need to act in total unison to keep honest citizens honest

Ok, but they don't. If the NSA stops spying on other nations, other nations will not stop spying on the US. I think everyone will agree that we shouldn't need an agency to do international espionage, but wishing doesn't make it true.

"There is no need for the FBI to investigate police corruption, the country's law enforcement agencies need to act in total unison to keep citizens safe." They should, but they don't.

"There is no need for presidential candidates to dig up dirt on each other, they need to work toward a common goal of bettering the country." They should, but they don't.

"There is no need for affirmative action, all people should treat each other equally, regardless of skin color." They should, but they don't.

etc.

Your suggestion at the end doesn't make any sense to me either. You want a world government, fine. So your strategy is for every person, individually, to imagine their own ideal world government, and ignore all existing laws that they don't like? And somehow one world power will emerge from this anarchy?
What needs to be taught is that it is POSSIBLE to automate a problem. Many people (not sure why you're picking on over 45s here; it seems like this is true at all age groups) don't fundamentally understand that computers can be used to perform tedious or error prone tasks.

Ask a non techie how much they spent at Amazon last year, and you'll get some mumbling about mint or their bank offering a search option, ask a UNIX neckbeard and get an answer via awk and col, and ask an overworked, underpaid administrative assistant and you'll get an excel spreadsheet that crudely but effectively provides the answer.
Again, I don't want to take sides, as this "anti GM"/"pro GM" seems to be ridiculously religious matter in the USA, but since you asked, I guess I can answer.

The difference is, basically, that random mutations happen all the time since life on Earth has begun, they are relatively subtle, and, last, but not the least — unavoidable whether you like the fact that they happen or not. They are pretty close to definition of "normal", because that's just how carbon-based lifeforms (or, probably, any theoretically possible lifeforms at all) work. The result of any individual mutation might be not pleasant: child might be born defective or ugly, but that's… well, "natural". People tend to avoid unusual, so even though some ugly chicken with two peckers and one eye might be completely healthy food — many will think it's disgusting and won't eat it. And, as I said, random mutations cause relatively subtle changes in phenotype, so it would take many, many generations for such chickens to become normal even if we selectively breed them to have two peckers. Even single such mutation is something pretty unlikely without strong external influence, like high radiation or some chemicals. And if specie changes a lot during multiple generations — it becomes normal. If they survived through so many generations, and we still eat them: it somehow "works", one might think.

Genetic engineering, on the other hand, didn't happen for a couple of billions years until last century, is very much avoidable and immensely powerful. Consider making a pig glow through selective breading. Seems pretty unlikely, yeah? Well, it's simple now, if you tinker some with genome of a pig and a jellyfish. And that's just an illustration: possibilities of what you can produce are nearly unlimited. I don't want to quote Spiderman's uncle here, but I guess you get the point. One might not even actually think glowing pig is dangerous, but it's certainly suspicious. Which is more than sufficient reason to beware of something or to want to avoid it.

The best thing about living nature is that something, that can seem completely safe and uninteresting at first, might be a cause for something much bigger than it seemed. Like, you know, bringing a couple of rabbits to Australia[1].

As a side note, you should probably remember when arguing with those "anti GM" friends of yours, that thinking of something as dangerous isn't the only reason why somebody might not like something. Say, they might happen to not like green wallpapers — it doesn't necessarily mean they think green wallpapers are dangerous. They just don't want them, maybe for religious reasons or whatever. So if everyone suddenly starts producing only green wallpapers because it's simply cheaper, and any other colors become rare, ridiculously overpriced and are treated by sellers as a luxury product — they can become "anti-grean-wallpaper" very easily. In attempt to bring balance to the force, if nothing more. Add to that that not everyone is perfectly rational — which is kinda ok as well — and there can be infinite number of reasons why somebody might be anti-something.

Certain languages lend themselves better to static analysis than others. Some qualities (there are others) that simplify static analysis include:

* static (not necessarily explicit) typing

* no dynamic metaprogramming (static OK)

* no "eval"

* no first-class functions (second-class OK)

* no prototype-based OOP (class-based OK)

* no mutable variables (lexical shadowing OK)

* no mutable values, or very strict aliasing rules

* no unbounded recursion

* no dynamically defined structures

Of course you can perform useful static analysis with only some of these guidelines met. e.g. Erlang's Dialyzer does pretty well with dynamic typing, first-class functions, and unbounded recursion, because these features generally aren't abused in Erlang. (Though this took a hit recently due to the recent introduction of the `maps` feature, which was designed in such a way as to encourage violating that last guideline, despite proposals for a similar feature which would not have violated it.)

Surprisingly, C also meets all but two of these guidelines, and, although it is an egregious violator of those both, it is somewhat amenable to static analysis (see Coverity).

JavaScript, on the other hand, is notoriously difficult to statically analyze, since it not only permits code to violate all the above guidelines, but it's common for code to violate all of them.

You are right that null can be problem when encoded wrong in a statically typed language.

But they cause problems even without static types.

https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2015/08/31/the-worst-mis...

For example, Rust can have Option<Option<T>>, which can be None, Some(None), or Some(Some(...)). But you can represent that with null, because nulls don't "stack".

> This type of leaking gives credence to the national security concerns

Gives credence to what/whose concerns? What do think Israel would have learnt from this leak?

If Israel were spying on US drone video transmissions, and a "traitor" in the Israeli security apparatus leaked that info to the press, would it still be harmful for the "public" to know?

It really weirds me out the degree to which people seem to moralize these brain-dead spy games. It's like we're already in state of paranoid pre-war. It's OK to spy on another country, and it's OK for our allies to spy on us, but its not OK for citizens to spy on their own government, it's OK for foreign governments to spy on our citizens, but we're only allowed to spy on our own citizens in foreign countries or foreign servers.

If it's of no interest to the public, then surely the secret was not a secret at all, and there was no harm in leaking it.
Weird machines as a service?
Not only that, it's hard to think of an area with quite so much "common sense" and "bro science", but also an area that should be so easy to research. Take people away on a residential and you can control exactly what they eat, their exercise etc. One of the nice things is that it'd be hard for anyone to patent findings either (I imagine).

My wife is a therapist and one day we were talking. A patient was discharged from their hospital and I asked who was in charge of follow up. "No one."

Turns out, there is very very little money in "healthcare" while there is a great deal of money in "sickcare".

If we are going to reduce the amount of money in sickcare, we're going to have to start caring for people before they are 60 years old, 325 pounds, have diabetes and hypertension and a McDonalds craving.

Because by then we have already lost.

Academic research/funding is broken - it'd be cool if there was a way to create something to fix the incentives.

I think that's kind of the goal of YC research in a narrow sense, but it'd be interesting if there was a way to align the incentives so scientists collaborated more instead of hiding research so they don't get 'scooped'. At this same time this could get rid of the academic journals that charge huge amounts of money for access to publicly funded research by selling prestige to desperate researchers (so they can get more funding).

If research was somehow more like open source development where people got credit for their contributions and hypothesis, experiments and papers were worked on in the open (all open access) maybe science and research would be better.

I think scientists want this and universities would want this - there needs to be a better way to get credibility than publishing papers in famous journals.

I think we should find a way to take the best content from Math Circles and get that to far more students in a digestible format.

Drilling down even further, if the Question is "what is the _single_ most useful thing that can be done to increase future scientific literacy and accelerate technological progress ?" .. then I think the answer must be to teach multiplication by drawing rectangles.

vis : https://quantblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/13/distributive-rule...

Its a really good antidote to 'math is magic, a set of rules you apply without knowing why'... its based on physical intuition we already have, and it leads very naturally to deeper more abstract thinking :

You can go quickly from counting out areas of integer sides via grouping, to multiplying fractions and decimals, to expanding (a+b)*c, to (a+b)(c+d), you can introduce 1+3+5+7+...+n = n^2 and 1+2+3+..+n=n(n+1)/2 , you can introduce primes as 'non-rectangle' numbers .. all the while improving facility with basic computations, and developing better math intuition.

Kids who believe they are dumb at math can relate to this kind of physical/visual construction - if you play tennis or basketball or fold paper or saw wood you already have a good intuition of area.

It seems not much math is being taught in school before age 12 .. We don't have to wait or invent anything groundbreaking - we can take concrete steps now, we know what works - ie. we have the vaccine, we just need willpower to get it to everyone.

Jobs don't give workers 28% time to do what they need. Workers exchange 72% of their time to jobs for income, and retain that 28% to do as they wish. It's worth noting there's a difference. Said your way, it's as if workers ought to be grateful to their jobs for allowing weekends. And that is fucked.

Either way, it's still fucked that working and living isn't an even 50% split. It should be.
