>It's economically bad to have a vast pile of money sitting in one place for a long time, you want to get that back into circulation.

Although I agree with your point overall this point specific point is flawed unless someone is literally storing physical cash in large volumes.

If I have a big bag of assets that is passed from generation to generation it is not sitting in one place or in any way out of circulation. Businesses do their thing regardless of whether a family member or someone else owns them. Real estate portfolios are similarly unaffected by who happens to own it. Even money sitting in a bank account is not actually just sitting there.
Any particular findings you'd like to share?

I'm directly interested as I'm putting together my first resume.

Thats just simply not true. There are automated systems doing precisely this kind of tracking. Did you not dig into the Snowden revelations and see just how bad it is?

Because, its really, really bad. No, I do not want my data in some secret government organizations' computer systems, for secret analysis. Ever. It may not be of consequence to the current administration, but do we really want Trump to have the power that the NSA grants? Clinton? Do we really want anyone with that power?

I think the biggest problem with the Snowden revelations is that, even now years after the fact, people don't seem to understand just how corrupt and how crippling the NSA security apparatus is, truly. Dig into the details and you will see that one of the most technologically advances tools of mass oppression is now upon us - and not just 'upon us', actually - but has been in operation now for over two decades.

Just what effect it has had, we will never know. Maybe there are people who have been spirited away, detected by this system as the rising new radicals that will upset the apple-cart, and we have absolutely no idea who or what they were. Do you really trust the religious zealots in power over this machinery to use it appropriately? Really? Then you are a huge part of the problem.
My university wouldn't try inverse classrooms (or record classes at all) because they have to be subtitled for the deaf (which costs money). However, deaf students don't have a similar requirement in normal classrooms. It's far more lax.

To me this is so bizarre. Now that I'm living in Asia (mainland China) it's even more bizarre. Because here ofcourse the government has the ability to look at everyone's communication - but no one has the ego to think they personally will be looked at. People appreciate that there are millions of people and no one actually cares about you unless you're really making waves.

Look back at the US, my home country, I feel like a lot of people are on the off-the-grid-survivalist spectrum of paranoia. The FBI NSA CIA don't care about 99.99% of you. They never will. Can you guys stop thinking we're an election or two away from a fascist dystopia?

This is a great approach. I do this with candidates I interview. I ask for a sample they are proud of and then I just probe away. Has worked very well.
I am also looking to go to Australia, and read up quite a bit about it. Below is a rough summary (by me). It may contain errors.

Part 1:
There are two ways to go about it. One option is to first get a Skilled Immigrant Permanent Residence visa (189) and then apply for a job.

Another is to find an employer to sponsor a Skilled (Temporary) visa (457).

The advantages of permanent resident visa (Skilled Independent Visa, 189):

1. Visa is permanent: you can change jobs

2. You can enroll for public healthcare and get many public benefits (e.g. child care rebates)

3. You do not need to have a job offer to go to Australia

4. A company does not need to sponsor your visa. This means that smaller companies can employ you. For 99% of the jobs, you are equal to an Australian citizen (some jobs like government/security jobs, you need to be a citizen)

5. Children born during PR receives Aus citizenship.

6. After 4 years, you can apply for Australian citizenship.

The problem with the 189 visa is that it is based on a point system. This point system takes into account:

1. Degree (or equivalent work experience), 2.	Age, 3.	English language ability, 4.Work experience,
5. Field of employment (should be on the Skilled Occupations List). Software engineering is.

Another problem is that it can take quite a while to get it. The process is:

1. Do a skills assessment (Australian Computer Society)

2. Lodge expression of interest (now your watch begins ;) )

3. Get an invitation to apply

4. Apply (with police clearance, medical clearance, etc.…). Costs around AUD$3000
And yet you avoided answering my analogy with "White Trash", "Rednecks" and "Bogans". Why is that?
Recently had to rube goldberg my HTML form POST's to work with API Gateway because of this issue: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=205782. Work around I came up with was a ridiculous redirect chain utilizing JWT. This is much prettier though.

If anyone is interested, it seems like you can probably get away with ~20 temporary redirects before your browser starts complaining about redirect loops.
Yeah, I too fell over the double-speak in this statement. Facebook is open? I don't think so - or is there some way I can query all my data, ever, personally, and do my own data analysis on my Timeline, and my friends', and so on .. can I export this data (all of it) for use in other systems? Is this portable somewhere? Do I have to use Facebook, or can I just take my data elsewhere .. etc.

The only reason I use Facebook is the only reason I ever bothered to use Windows - because my friends insisted on using it and can't be convinced otherwise, due to their unwillingness to learn new things. It is not a technologically suitable solution to the problem of FOAF-networking, imho. Its socially accepted, only.
> 1) A lot of this sounds like OS style scheduling.

This is probably a mixed bag. On a machine that's devoted to software in Erlang, you will ideally run one scheduler (OS thread) per core pinned to a core, plus however many dirty/async/io schedulers needed/configured. You'll also have a couple other OS processes running (ntpd, sshd, crond, etc). So the OS will have an easy time with scheduling processes, the majority of the time you'll have one thread to run on the core, or one thread on the core waiting for io / other signals. On the other hand, you do have Erlang doing work that the OS could conceivably do; but I wouldn't really want to put one million threads into an OS scheduler (maybe it works, but I don't know).

> 2) sending to a larger mailbox takes more resources

As felix said, it costs more reductions, but there might be a real cost too; a larger mailbox probably means more senders sending (although it can also just mean slow processing), and if there are more senders sending to the process, there is more contention on the message queue lock, more info on how messages are added to a mailbox here[1]. There's not a concept of mailbox capacity, the queue is a linked list; any mailbox can expand until you run out of swap, or hit the configured memory limit, either way the whole OS process dies[2]. I'd guess the reduction cost for sending a message is a function of the number of messages in the queue, it's possible it's a function of the total size of all the messages, but I don't know if that's tracked.

Edit: i meant to address > 3) Are there foreign function interfaces that could allow you to get Erlang style concurrency with other languages

Not that I've seen. You can do NIFs, ports, or port drivers, but that doesn't really get what you're asking for. There are some other languages that run on the BEAM VM, maybe one of the Lisps you could take existing Lisp code and run it, but generally the BEAM languages are not available outside the BEAM. If you wanted to run an existing language within BEAM, that language would need to have hooks to embed in another program, and the hooks would need to let you do a small amount of work at a time; or you'd have to re-implement the language in a BEAM friendly manner.

[1] http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2011-September/...

[2] This isn't very great, and one of the areas where Erlang's isolation is weak -- one Erlang process can eat all of limited global resources, for example ram, ports, ets tables, atoms and the result is often the whole VM stops, either it directly exits, or core applications will shutdown when they hit a failure they can't handle (for example mnesia really needs to be able to have the ets tables and file ports it needs, and will shutdown when it can't get them, often this will result in your application crashing enough to get shutdown)

IAAL and I did a lot of patent prosecution for one phase of my career, about 12 years ago. The top three reasons there make sense to me. The justification I remember as being the main one is the doctrine of claim differentiation: the existence of one or more dependent claims adds support for a relatively broad interpretation of the independent claim, i.e. the independent claim is presumed not to require the additional limitation(s) recited in a dependent claim.
Looking at the figures, it seems to have roughly the same performance as Zstandard in high compression mode.
Only after easing your description did I realize Greek yogurt is basically labneh.
Part 2:

The advantages of the temporary work (skilled) visa (457) is:

(1) Easier to obtain than 189, (2) Cheap and quick (within 6-8 weeks), (3) No skills assessment, (4) lower English requirements, (5) you have 90 days to find a new employer if you lose your job, (6) employer may be able to sponsor you for a permanent visa after a while.

I think this visa is much better than equivalent visas in other countries.

The disadvantages of this visa is:

1. You have to get private medical care (can be expensive)

2. Private medical care has some waiting time (big problems if you get pregnant within 12 months of entering Australia)

3. Employers have to be recognized by DIBP (only larger well established companies)

4. Employers must do market testing and prove that they cannot fill the position with an Australian citizen (less jobs)

PS: There are other variations on these visa schemes. For instance, if you get state sponsorship, you can apply for a 190 visa (and receive more points). There are other visa classes for recent graduates (485). There is also working holiday visa (417). The impression that I get however is that 90% of people either start with a 457 or 189 visa.

PPS: I encourage you to do a skills assessment to check if you qualify for a 189 visa. Here is the test: http://www.harriswake.com/skillselectpointscalculator

For job search sites, use indeed.au and seek.au. Note that most jobs do not sponsor 457 visas.

Also, all jobs on http://www.austjobs.com/ sponsor visas.

APPLY HN: Mankind – Curates + Crowdsources for Ventures That Can Get Us to Mars
URL: movemankind.com/

PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY – Ventures that can help mankind go to Mars (in the fields of genetics, AI, renewable energy and space)

Ventures could do with more support from the masses beyond crowdfunding - SpaceX needed dairy farming machinery for its prototypes and Tesla needed accounting advice.

PROBLEM/OPPORTUNITY - Contributors

People already help to better the world by volunteering and signing petitions. However, we have no way of supporting sustainable ventures that can determine the future of the human race.
With interest in space, genetics and all things survivalist at an all-time high, we think the opportunity is ripe to get people involved with such ventures.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Early-stage companies in the fields of genetics, AI, clean energy and space currently spend $13.5mn on online job ads a year.

No. of early stage companies in relevant sectors: 2,921 (CAGR: 10.6%)

Average no. of hires per company per year: 13

Average cost per online job ad: $475

Likelihood of a start up in these sectors advertising jobs online: 75%

2,921 x 13 x $475 x 0.75 = $13.5mn

CONDUCIVE MARKET TRENDS

1.	We are at the beginning of a Fourth Industrial Revolution and high-tech companies in fields such as genetics and A.I. are forecasted to play an outsized role in job creation.

2.	Online recruitment is growing 50% annually.

3.	The nature of work is becoming more flexible and driven by interests rather than money.

4.	Increase in co-creation. E.g. open source, feedback on HN, crowdfunding sites like IndieGoGo are shifting from just providing crowdfunding to helping ventures build their products.
and ocean is 70% of the earth.....
(continued)

SOLUTION

Mankind curates and crowdsources resources for ventures that can help humanity become multi-planetary species.
We crowdsource resources such as talent, freelancers, accounting advice… whatever these ventures need to succeed. The ventures we curate operate in the fields of genetics, AI, space exploration and sustainable energy – technologies that will most affect the future of humanity, according to Elon Musk.
We’re like Product Hunt x Kritical Mass for ventures that can get us to Mars, with compensation (financial and/or Kickstarter-like) for contributors.

BUSINESS MODEL

Charge a fee for successfully connecting top talent whose aspirations and interests align with the mission and needs of these high potential, Mars-bound ventures.
Future revenue streams: crowdfunding, freelance services, beta testing, ads

VALIDATION TO-DATE - ventures

- 6/13 cold calls responded positively

- 2 proactively reached out

- 4 out of 9 ventures retweeted our tweets about their needs

VALIDATION TO-DATE - contributors

Approx. 120 sign ups from Betalist (incl. marketers, journalists, developers, designers…).

Email open rate: 64.5%, click-through: 34.9% (Media & Publishing Industry Average - Open: 22.3%, Click-through 4.6%)

We are working on validating whether contributors will take active interest beyond passive info consumption (e.g. applying for jobs, sharing jobs, providing feedback).

Can someone explain what people mean when they say AI these days? Statistical clustering algorithms like neural-networks? Natural language algorithms? Any algorithm that didn't work well a decade ago due to a lack of computation resources? Algorithms that mimic everyday human activities? All of the above?

I think that applying the label "AI" to some algorithms only serves to give us a very impartial sense of awe towards them that goes far beyond what their actual performance merits.
What benefit does it have over VBA? A lot of the things shown in the demo could be done by simply importing a dll.
My only complaint is the mix between snake_case and PascalCase. I tried removing it(in favor of snake_case, but you could probably get a similar result if going full PascalCase), and it looks much better(no guarantee it has the same semantics, I've never worked with rust):

fn handle_message(&mut self, find_node_query: messages::find_node_query) {
let origin = node::udp_node::deserialize(find_node_query.get_origin());
let target = address::from_str(find_node_query.get_target());

{
// Borrow self.routing_table first time
let nodes: vec<&box<node::node>> = self.routing_table.nearest_to(&target);
let response = message::response(
self.transaction_ids.generate(),
response::find_node(&self.self_node, nodes)
