"Shares of Intel were halted after the bell Tuesday as Intel announced it would cut 12,000 jobs, or 11 percent of its workforce, by 2017 due to restructuring. The technology company also said the chief financial officer would leave that role."

BTC based malware is typically ransomware actually. Not actually BTC Mining.

Generally speaking, when virus writers write viruses, they don't like spinning up the CPU fans and literally allowing the user to hear the virus working. Pegging the CPU at 100% is the easiest damn way of getting caught.

Instead, Botnets seem to be more intent in stealing keyboard presses (credit card information, personal information), and launching DDOS attacks.
Does it really add 2 lbs of weight to add some USB ports?
So it's wrong to abuse, humiliate, and torture someone in the United States but if you do it elsewhere it's ok?

Oh wait...
I forgot about that. I was thinking the only (ultimately unsustainable) uses bitcoin had happened upon were buying contraband, and exit scam type swindles, I forgot about extortion.

I was thinking these were unsustainable because authorities have made clear their intent to go after the contraband use, and the tendency for the markets themselves to be exit scams. And the swindles seem unsustainable because after awhile all the bitcoins would be concentrated with the swindlers with no one left to swindle.

With the extortion though, theoretically the extorters could sell to the extorted.

(At least until someone can figure out a better way to dole out system permissions to reduce the feasibility of that cryptolocker bullshit.)

For that to be sustainable though, there would have to be some veneer of other legit activity going on in bitcoin, if was just extorters selling directing to the extorted, the extorters would be pretty easy to track down.
Edge is very power efficient on Windows 10, assuming your drivers allow it to do full hardware acceleration. Their rendering stack and JS engine are very competitive.
The religious version in fact seems more restrained in its promises, with the "arrested" bit at the end. (Not unexpectedly BTW; IMO comparing any such pitch to a religion is usually a compliment to the pitch, as religions of today evolved over many centuries and so are better debugged than many an age-of-reason attempt at scientific-sounding wisdom. And personally I'm deeply not religious, but still.)

I did read that rats run faster towards a reward than they run from a punishment etc., so yeah, scarcity vs abundance, sure, but if someone is paid to coach me when I have a deadline to meet, I'll show them some abundance.

FWIW, VS Code is built on top of Electron (like Atom) and AFAICT, doesn't have the perf issues that Atom does. Nor does the Slack client which is similarly built on Electron. I wonder what the root cause is, but I don't think it is an issue of it not being native.
Well he did refer to most shared hosting which do usually come with php already installed, and you may not have sudo. installing composer is simply curling a phar file, or you could even bundle it into your repository if you want to, im really not sure what to tell you.

I don't think the article fully articulates many people's visceral hatred for medallion cabs. Everyone I know who used to take cabs regularly has a horror story. It was an industry begging and pleading for someone to disrupt them. Most people don't feel the same way about restaurants and grocery stores.
clearly, no.
But then, what is the point of foo being associated with the class of bar?

Multiple dispatch screams for the abolishment of methods as properties of objects, in favor of generic functions.

Youc an still have the syntactic sugar obj.foo(arg), but it basically just translates to foo(obj, arg) where foo is a generic function not associated with foo's class in any way, and obj and arg have equal status.

This generic function is what has methods.

Say we implemented "funky" numbers, and would like to implement multiplication of funky and real. When funky is the left argument we get funky.mult(real). If real is no the left, we get real.mult(funky). These functions do the same thing (the multiplication is commutative), yet ... they have to live in separate classes? It is nonsensical.

Under generic functions, we just have mult(real, funky) and mult(funky, real) which are methods of the generic mult(whatever, whatever). They both belong to the one generic function: that is the more reasonable organization.

This will be off topic, but I'd like to hear others' thoughts on the issue.

I really really dislike, the taxi industry. I have ridden a cab at 2am, and paid 4x what I regularly do, in cash, because 'the machine is broken'. I hate running after them. Finding cabs after hours is _hell_.

But I find Uber super-duper scummy. It's just the general...everything about it. That when you need it the most, it jacks up its prices, breaks laws like it's no one's business, and then spends SHIT TONS of money in lobbying to change them. Etcetera. But I do like the much improved transportation system it's led to. It's like day and night.

So... why doesn't anyone (or even a regulatory agency!!!) create an open marketplace for transportation services, where riders and drivers can bid, and all the 'services' are just middlemen between the marketplace and individual agents? Sort of like... email, but for Uber?
So he is pointing out that when global temp avgs bust records everyone talks about global warming.. ok, I will give him that. I am not sure that makes much of a "point" though.

I wonder if Uber will ever offer a programmatic courier service. It seems like the "Uber for X" companies will struggle to make money if they have to maintain their own delivery fleet, and tapping into a large pool of Uber drivers could allow smaller companies to auto-scale their business just like with cloud compute.

Sure.

> Since we are coming out of an ice age a mere (on the geologic time scale) 12,000 years ago, we should expect increasingly warm temperatures.

No we shouldn't expect this kind of temperature rise. Not like this. This quote is entirely nonsensical, it has no logical backing at all. The rates of temperature rise we are seeing right now are not to be expected based on our last ice age receding. The fallacy here is "made shit up and pretended it was truth".

> Also, the "record" in this case only goes back 130 years, and the earth is 4.5 billion years old

The record is a real record. Putting it in quotes implies that it isn't a record. That's false. Also, this implies that the age of the earth is relevant to how we act today. Does NYC or SF care about the temperature of the Earth during the formation of our solar system? No. It's not relevant.

> so to try and make some sort of global warming generalization based on .00000000028% of the evidence is fallacious.

Nobody is making that generalization, or using that scale of evidence. This is a fallacy because the post author has pretended that the IBM article quoted said that they (Weather Underground) used .00000000028% of available evidence to draw their conclusion. Again, this is false.
We're coming off a multigenerational bull market. So writings are a tad unrealistically optimistic. For a slight counterexample, or a dose of reality:

Reminiscences of a Stock Operator by Edwin Lefèvre

Where are the Customers Yachts by Fred Schwed

Nothing has really changed psychologically since those books. The same people are doing the same things for the same reasons, just with different numbers and tools. This will provide some background in those areas. Very much like music or sex (edited to add, or programming), young people like to think their generation invented the topic, but not as much has changed as you'd think.

Note that just because its hilarious reading what Livermore did a long time ago, doesn't mean you won't get thrown in jail if you tried it today. So these are like anthropological case studies, not preachy instruction manuals. Make sure you get that.

Aside from that I'd propose the usual critical thinking skills. Whenever you hear or read something: Follow the money. From his perspective, why is he telling me this? Where is this on the lifecycle of ideas from new (perhaps only to you) to conventional wisdom (may already be obsolete) to obsolete, and is this a linear time or circular time situation?

Finally bad people or bad motivations don't necessarily torpedo an idea. Take for example haircuts. Ask your barber how often you should get a haircut, that will be every paycheck please, because he's paid transactionally. Likewise, you ask your financial advisor or broker how often you should dollar cost average, because he's paid transactionally guess what his advice will be. However, corrupt as that may appear on the surface, it might none the less be correct advice, for reasons having nothing to do with your broker's revenue stream!
That's true and a good point! I'm reading into this as talking to a much broader context.

STM in a simple request->response web application probably is overkill and I'm much more aligned with his recommendation now.
I really hope this is not going to affect their already ever lagging release schedule. If I'm not getting Kaby Lake Q3 this year as promised I will be severely disappointed.
Sure, but it's not a barrier for growth like what other "Uber for X" companies had to face...the moment that may come about dealing with the IRS Uber might be equipped more than enough to deal with it without too much problems...
Ah no problem, just pointing out its not really explanation or anything that could bring more in to this issue. Thanks for being responsive though.

This guy seems to have fully embraced the "Haters gonna hate" mentality that he advised against in the last article.

Amazing what happens to some peoples' minds when they get hit with a little criticism.

The "supportive comment" is just a 2-sentence opinion telling him exactly what he wants to be told.

I would urge people to take any advice from this person with a healthy dose of salt.
Yes, I fully agree with you that a lot of the symptoms of mental health issues are often symptoms of larger issues. I see this in myself, and I see it in others. Often times, all that's needed is to take vitamin D, less caffeine, stricter diet, environmental changes, etc.

That said, the propensity for those with mental illnesses to resort to drugs, false rationalizations and misinformation to assist in understanding their problems makes these issues very, very difficult and complex for everyone involved. For those with mental health issues, removing those soft and hard dependencies is incredibly difficult, since they're so easy to fall to, on top of their prior problems. You're simplifying an issue without realizing that mental health problems are often only the catalyst that's furthered by forced isolationism. For example, although my own mental health issues seem to have been around since birth, they were only pushed farther, possibly permanently, after being put on amphetamines to aid with the bipolar and its comorbid's symptoms.

And quit the bullshit about thought police. I'm just asking for an attempt at empathy with an attempt to not resort to the usual SJW rhetoric.

One group that self-medicates is people with psychosis.

People with psychosis smoke cigarettes; more of them smoke than the general population and they smoke more than the general population.

Hydrocarbons from cigarettes interact with, and reduce the efficacy of, antipsychotic medication.

That means people who have psychosis and smoke need more meds.

This - the side effects of strong medication, and the smoking - causes people with psychosis to die on average 20 years earlier than the general population.

It also causes a distressing number of house fires. (People smoking while sedated). People with psychosis are over represented in stats for death by home fire.

So smoking tobacco is probably a bad idea for that group of people.

When you add a psychoactive component that may[1] make psychosis worse it just seems like a terrible idea.

People with psychosis should probably have access to good quality early intervention teams rather than access to cannabis.

[1] one of the frustrating things of criminalisation is that it's really hard to do any research; and cannabis strains have moved onto strains that focus on THC rather than a more balanced mix of THC and CBD.
It will happen in the sense that AR technology will become viable and cost-effective. I think it's far from set in stone how much it will be used outside of niche applications. Smartphones are an enormously powerful technology but they have a social limit. For instance, if you're building an app which requires people to use their phones while in conversation, and overlay information on top, that is clearly going to come up against social barriers. Just because you can build something, it doesn't mean people will use it.

It is almost undoubtedly going to be very useful in particular professional contexts, how much it goes beyond that is anyone's guess.
Good to hear we got more stable of the last 9 months. I'm excited about the upcoming release (the 22nd as usual) that will have many UX improvements and bugfixes. We try to ship new features fast and quickly fix issues that arise. But we're not happy with our testing of core functionality. So today I discussed writing more end-to-end tests as proposed by our new VP of Product, Stan Hu.
I tried VS Code the other day after the big announcement but "Electron Helper" or something was routinely taking up 2-3% CPU, eating the battery. Why is there even a separate helper process? Will try again in a few months, I guess.

It's not just you or your therapist friend. According to a study[1]: Empathy Dropped 40% in College Students between 2000 to 2010.

And now everything is much more addictive, and mobile wasn't even that common in 2010. And now we have virtual reality, which when you read the research some scary side effects surface - stuff like "derealization" - basically having a consistent feeling that real life isn't real. Or stuff about ads having deep brainwashing like power.

And almost nobody is working to solve those issues.

Some of them are a result of direct or indirect action. I studied more. Some are a result of external events. The sunset was fantastic because God decided we needed a great sunset.

This has done wonders for my kids (now mostly grown) in relating their action to positive outcomes. We don't practice this much anymore but should get back to it.

My wife and I exercise for 45 to 60 minutes 5 days a week, most weeks. We rise at 4:30 AM and are done and home by 6:30. We go to bed really early.

We are 62 (myself) and 57 and the exercise is helping us a lot with health, vitality and positive outlook. Somedays it is hard to get up and go. It is always a good thing when we are done and we are grateful we went to the gym.

I strive for 7+ hours of sleep.

I mediate some, mostly at lunch time.
You're placing a lot of trust in you presumably consumer-level disks. Even if the filesystem is perfectly crash-tolerant under some specific model of disk behavior, the disk could always behave outside of that model, especially upon sudden loss of power.

Story: some time ago, I tried to hook up an SATA hard disk into a desktop PC which had an SSD connected, while the machine was running. When I did so, I got errors in dmesg about the SSD failing and being reset automatically. I rebooted and grub took ~30s to load the kernel then the boot hanged in the middle.
Luckily after some power cycling the issue was gone but I honestly taught I lost the SSD. Apparently disks don't like losing power. Possibly this was even worse because it was just a temporary voltage drop (the disks were connected to the same supply cable).

I'm not going to argue that there aren't crap apps on Apple's app store, since there definitely are, but if it were easier to let apps onto the appstore, wouldn't there be even more crap apps? I doubt a loosening of restrictions would mean a massive surge of quality apps. Sure, it might mean some good apps that had been rejected or had avoided the appstore because of restrictions could get on, but the number of those quality apps would be minuscule compared to the crap app surge.
I grew up in the county west of Soul City. It didn't go bankrupt all on it's own. The adjacent townships and cities are pits of disrepair and hardship (Warrenton and Henderson). The only industrial type (large scale employment business centers) are two or three counties away from Soul City. So moving away from there starts to become a lucrative prospect the longer you stay.
