lol, good quote. To be clear, I don't hate the guy.

One of the first times I heard him speak was in late 2014 and he was essentially arguing for all the same things that he argues now: "I don't know how the tech community is going to do it, but they're smart, and they can build in secure access for law enforcement". He still completely ignores the national security implications of such a precedent, and he also ignores the fact that, over and over again, crypto experts are telling him that the community has enough trouble building secure systems at the moment, and adding access to third parties is likely to exponentially weaken system security.

Actually, back in the 80s, people normally wrote email of about that length, and since gaming was uncommon, had the leisure to read well-written prose from their peers.

Sometime around 2000, busy people started complaining about this practice, and old timers started to hold their tongues. I knew the era was over when my Millennial co-worker one cube away asked me to not interrupt him and IM him instead, since he had to take off his earphones. About the same time, my boss complained about how long my (senior engineer, explaining matters related to the immanent demise of the company...) emails were -- frankly managers were busy and 1-2 sentence ought to explain about this O-ring problem.

Oh please. Democrats dominate those areas because the Republican party has made the conscious decision to not engage city dwellers[1]. Instead, they're used as a foil against suburban voters- who, incidentally, are demanding more "urban-like" amenities from their local government (Like robust walkable downtowns, bike paths/lanes, green space, and non-chain stores)

As for rural voters... they have no national platform, with both parties disengaged. It's really a battle between the city and the suburbs.

However as it is focuses on 1-on-1 meets I do see it being somewhere in the middle of the two. We are not trying to be a dating platform, but I do see it possibly being used as such by some users.

(Note: I'm not attacking or critiquing your comment, just attempting to show another scope)
I'll point out that the same argument applies for living in a city vs a suburb vs out in the country. It's a very very old dynamic, and sometimes people get ensnared, and we have to be careful. For example, countries where you need an exit visa to leave.

But like the meatspace equivalent, there's likely to be different situations simultaneously for different populations. With an ebb and flow between them and between more or less free choice.

Does Google also own code that you write in your spare time at home?
I agree with the previous comments about a project like this not being open source isn't a great idea. Hard to monetize on GETs and anyone who invests a lot of time developing to the url's API will have to redo their app when you deprecate your service, as google did with the chart API.

Still, having it as a hosted service doing image charts can be great, you just need to give folks a backup plan.
At this point Unicorn is a hard fork with a very specific goal. It accomplishes this goal much better than upstream QEMU. I believe combined TCG / no-globals should be upstreamed (I think I actually saw commits in 2.5 about supporting multiple architectures in one QEMU binary?), but I don't know if anyone working on Unicorn has talked to anyone upstream about this.

I believe Unicorn also contains QEMU bugfixes.

To me, in an ideal world, we might have something like this:

libqemu-cpu - Basically Unicorn. C library/API to easily create/hook/manipulate one or more CPUs.

libqemu-system - All hardware/peripheral support from QEMU. Attach any component(s) to a supported CPU at runtime.

libqemu-user - The current qemu-user, except as a library with syscall/whatever hooking support. There'd probably be a good amount of code generation here.

This is a topic into itself: traditionally-beautiful women that happen to be very manipulative tend to end up committing pretty evil acts, and are able to get away with them because, ultimately, the other party doesn't want to ruin a potential chance at mating, so lets the act go without repercussion. This increases the likelihood of committing a similar act in the future, due to the success.

Great to see something by Peirce linked on here.

I do think some of the intellectual history in this piece is wildly off the mark. The schoolmen (at least those of an Aristotelean bent) certainly thought that you could know things via experience as well as via authority. For example, you could know that there was a desk in front of you because you could see it. The development of science during the enlightenment was partly enabled by a much greater skepticism about experience than was characteristic of the schoolmen. You can "see", for example, that the desk is a solid object with no holes in it, but you have to develop the habit of doubting such experiences to make progress beyond a certain point in physics and chemistry.
I know you see it as a reasonable "middle ground" solution but you have to be aware that you are still telling FB a lot about yourself. The fact that you only added your actual friends the second time may even make it easier for them to extract profit from your account.
Story time. I grew up in a African nation were political instability, corruption and a poor economy for a country is not surprising. My family was doing fine, not great, but my parents valued education, kindness and respect above anything else. They did everything they could to ensure that we got the best education. It was until when my father fell ill and passed away when I was 10, thats when things started to go downhill.

My mother had to provide for a family on her own. Most of the relatives from my father's side didn't bother to help, they had their own problems to deal with, add all of this on top of a economy which was non-existent in 2008. We had no place to stay for 4 months because we couldn't afford rent. I couldn't watch shows my peers watched because we couldn't afford cable/satellite TV, let alone a place to stay. There was food, electricity and water shortage for years(still is). Inflation was so high the government had to discontinue the currency.

Teachers in my public school began to flee to other countries so that they could still provide for their family.I had to teach myself Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics.I took up subjects I was never assigned to do in order to get decent grades so that I could go to college. I had to do two A levels, instead of three because teachers thought my grades weren't good enough, other students made fun of me because of this.The environment I was in was a perfect recipe for disaster, for a young mind.

But here I am, with a degree in Computer Science and working for a software company with like minded people because my father bought and introduced to me a cream rectangular box, big monochrome monitor and taught me how to type with a keyboard at the age of 5. This machine would become my identity project. Computers have been my survival tool, my passion, even when my peers thought I was delusional for pursing a career in Technology(they even made fun of me for thinking I had a chance).

Environment plays a big part in your life but you have the choice to let it dictate your life or you take the wheel and determine your future. I could have given up but I chose not to, even though everything around me constantly said I should.

I'm not in a place where I can say I made it but, but its sure as hell better than what I have experienced in my late childhood and adolescent years. For those young folks that are reading this and are in somewhat a disadvantaged situation, stay positive,stick to your identity project and never give up!
"Liberal" has always been a word so loaded with ambiguity it's practically meaningless.

Socially liberal is not the same as economically liberal is not the same as politically liberal is not the same as anti-authoritarian is not the same as Democrat. (And so on.)

In fact I think the argument comes down to four positions:

I want as much as possible and I don't see why I should care about anyone or anything else
I want as much as possible but I suppose I have to care a little about other people because otherwise the non-winners will kill me and eat me
Exploiting other people is morally wrong
Exploiting other people creates economically and politically disastrous network effects so it's important to allow people the economic freedom to move beyond exploitation

They should be clearly distinct. But in the US they're all tinged with rhetoric of crusading personal heroism and slightly manic social signalling, so it can be paradoxically hard to tell them apart.

At a 2014 celebration of Governor Patrick’s innovation leadership, Google’s Eric Schmidt announced that “if you want to solve the economic problems of the U.S., create more entrepreneurs.”

I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter, but I totally agree with Eric Schmidt here. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the growing incubator/accelerator industry, of which YC is at the vanguard, is one of the most hopeful, encouraging things happening in the world today. I think it's ridiculous that Paul Graham has to defend himself against charges of exacerbating inequality, when he's done as much as anyone to start the economy down a new path. (Disclosure: I have not applied to YC or any other accelerator, but I might in the future.)

So -- is this too much of a contradiction, to be what this author calls an "innovation liberal" while supporting a populist/socialist candidate?

Economic change, of the kind the US is now going through, is always wrenching and painful; there are always people on the back side of the curve who suffer. I think the challenge for government is to craft policies that support the changes, and those driving them, while not excessively punishing those left behind.

I think that broadly, the pendulum in the US has swung too far in the direction of minimizing the safety net in support of individual responsibility, and the surprising success the Sanders campaign is having -- Bernie himself did not think, a year ago, that he could get as far as he has -- shows that the public mood is starting to swing back the other way. I think that's healthy, to a point, and that's why I'm supporting him.

Let's not make this a discussion about Bernie, though. I recognize he is not perfect, and I'm not even 100% certain he would make a good President. I just think the issues he is raising deserve a larger hearing.
You probably don't need to do A-levels or AS-levels, they have a 'work experience' entry route, where if you're over 21, and have 2 years experience in technology, you can get in without any education beyond high school. Then your continued progress depends on performance in the first few courses, as you'd expect.

What's also nice is that like most UK degrees, the course grades are weighted higher towards the layer years with the more advanced courses. It's something like 10% first year, 30% second year, 60% third year. That means that if you're not used to academic work, you can scale up over time, and still get a good grade overall if you hit your stride by the second year.

I had a comment in mind I was going to go with but when I clicked reply in a new tab, I notice you ninja edited putting in the last line where you came clean and admitted that there was a little something you did that made a difference.

My question is this, ignoring your edit, if you say it was all luck based on the 8 points here, am I to conclude that anybody with these advantages would all have the same outcome no matter what they themselves did (taking into consideration the likely variability of behavior in context of your profile). If they worked their asses off, they would be no more successful than you are now and if they had just did the minimum, they'd be just as successful as you are.

I'd surmise this would not be the case so it seems likely that how hard one works, given the hand they're dealt, means a little more than you think.

As they should. The solution is not to cram 17 students into a house. The solution is to build more housing. Boston is full of slumlords who gouge students, landlords who resist new development because it would force them to provide decent living conditions at a reasonable profit.

As in, is this protocol inherently cooperative or could an implementation have checks/controls added?

I had no idea there was any other culprit to burnout other than being overworked. I once heard that "there's no such thing as burnout. It's really heartache in disguise". I don't totally agree with that statement, but I think there's a kernel of truth to it.

I'm genuinely curious: what is the alternative here? Keep taxis around? Encourage people to take more manufacturing jobs? These don't seem like sustainable or viable alternatives. Over the coming years, all jobs are going to require an element of creativity, innovation, and probably some degree of higher education (not necessarily university-based, but some form of specialized, knowledge-intensive learning).

This is something that is inevitable, and it's coming up fast. To the extent that we subsidize and protect dying industries to maintain the jobs of their workers, we hinder their retrainment in new professions and further entrench the inefficiencies of the past. In even the medium term, this is nothing but harmful.

Now, I think there are things that probably can and should be done to help these people get into new jobs. Subsidizing retraining and education, providing interim assistance to help them get through these periods, and maybe eventually even a universal basic income (fundamentally the economics of this probably don't make sense quite yet, but I think they will in the future). But what is fundamentally not ok, what is never ok, is shielding dying industries under the aegis of employment.
