> The government is like a parent watching a child

I think it's great that you've lived in a bubble all your life.

But you should make a conscious decision whether to remain in that bubble, or find out the truth about the world around you.

Because the truth is an ugly thing these days.
Everybody has their own rules for tipping. These are mine. It is because I have them that I do not feel tipping to be confusing or inconsistent or burdensome. I always know how much to tip, to whom, and when.

Just set your own rules and follow them.
> Who cares? Anybody sees a problem with automating away so many jobs that unemployment rises to 50% and beyond? Unemployment is not a problem. It's how we deal with it that is. You just can't expect everyone to work when machines do all the work.

It's amazing how some humans seem to have a complete lack of understanding of human nature.

Imagine a world in which 50% of people worked, and the other half lived on basic welfare income. How do you think the 50% that worked would feel about the other half? Do you think perhaps they might feel used? Do you think they might feel like slave labor? Do you think they might feel like the other half was taking advantage of them? Do you think they might be resentful of their earnings being taken away and given to people who don't work?

How are things going right now when people have this idea that there's a 99:1 division in society? How do you think people would get along with a 50:50 hard division? Can you imagine a better setup for societal unrest and class warfare? Can you imagine a society in which half the population thinks they're entitled to have the other half work to support them?

It'd be like a modern-day version of slavery, setting society up for a civil war. Communism used "the workers!" as one of its foundational elements--now imagine a world in which "the workers" are legally half of the population, and they decide they're tired of being taken advantage of, and they decide to assert themselves and their rights, go on strike, refuse to work, even revolt. And imagine the other half of the population, which thinks they're entitled to be supported by the other half, decides to assert themselves and demand what they think they're entitled to (if they're still capable of doing anything besides sitting in their VR headsets).

This is not wild imagination, this is history and human nature applied to your ideas, their logical conclusion.

> I see only one solution: abolishing lucrative property

Want to have a nice house with a yard to raise your family in? Nope. Panelák for you.

Want to work hard, save up, and buy a little cabin on the lake for your retirement? Nope. Too lucrative.

> communist scare crow be dammed.

Approximately one hundred million people (100,000,000 people) have been killed by Communist regimes.

But we're better humans now, right? We'll get it right this time. Just need to put the right people in charge and everything will be fine. Communism doesn't always turn corrupt, I mean, just look at the present-day Communist regimes of China, Cuba, and North Korea. Those governments aren't corrupt or evil, and their citizens are free, healthy, and happy. Nothing to be afraid of. Damn the scarecrows, full speed ahead!

Your quote says nothing about the police having unique or extreme powers, it says only that individuals have no right to opt out of society's defense mechanisms.

Further, your quoted line, that conflates aggregate consent with individual consent, while trying to distinguish them, making the utterly self-contradictory claim that "no individual can chose to withdraw his or her consent" , which comes from a 2012 commentary opinion by the Home Office, not the classic Peelian principles. (And it is likely a confusion of wording, not their actual understanding of the law or principles.)

I generally prefer to pass by const ref. If function needs to make copy, it can always invoke copy constructor. If it doesn't then all is well and performant. I know there are optimizations that can happen if you pass by value and function intends to make a copy. But those are micro optimizations and I've always felt its not worth the confusion it creates to the caller as well as callee. Does anyone else follow this general rule of thumb?
The first mistake is using shared_ptr to begin with. It's often unnecessary (as the article says, one can often get away with using unique_ptr). When a unique_ptr is not sufficient, a shared_ptr often obfuscates the true owner of the object.

Every object should have one true owner that manages its memory. Anything else will lead to performance regressions and outright bugs.
Talking about lisp in 2016 is mostly just debating static vs. latent/dynamic typing. The lisp guys were talking up their advantages in the 80s/90s era of fortran and C and really bad c++, and I guess the really shitty original JVM. It's a discussion from a dead age.

latent/dynamic typing and also macros work very poorly when the codebase is large and there are many people involved, or when we're talking about decade plus code-base lifespans. It's that simple. If you're one or three noticeably smart dudes building a system from start to ultimate finish (financial exit in four years?), why not go with LISP or something like it. If you're a team of one or two I advise you do go with lisp or perl or python or erlang or whatever.

But that's not the systems anybody builds or maintains much anymore. We make things that a rotating cast of 100 might touch over 30 years. We need static typing.
You're undermining the fact that to build services of that scale is not trivial at all, and the fact they have managed to do it is the basis of why they are an effective competition to SV, now that they are as economically strong as the Bay Area is.

Once they are done with "replicating" SV, they'd start "inventing" too. What's stopping them from that?
Wow that is surprising.
Bioscope – Enabling Co-Creation of video
Bioscope makes video creation social and fun. Today video creation is geared towards selfie’s even though social media is about bringing people together, Bioscope changes that. When you are in a social gathering using a cellphone is frowned upon, Bioscope breaks through this barrier by enabling co-creation. I see a lot of people even though they are in the same place take videos post on social media and “Like” the posts, why not make the most of being together and co-create. Using Bioscope is also a way to show how close you are to a person and nurturing that relationship.

Bioscope is available for iOS.

> If there's something that defines the Linux kernel development process is that large/wide changes are never accepted in bulk. Changes must be broken up into independent pieces that make sense by themselves and can be well understood by the people doing the merges.

And that's how you end up with clearly superior subsystem implementations (BFQ) that linger outside the kernel as GP mentions. Because a professor doing free work should somehow find a way to hack a cohesive working subsystem into the mess which is the old codebase so as to satisfy the maintainers (who are paid to work on this stuff) need for a gradual transition (which will eventually rip out all of the old code anyways).
I'm not describing the ideal, I'm describing the reality.

Digression: my mom loves Hillary Clinton. She's an immigrant, consumes very little American media, but she is a staunch Clinton supporter. Clinton recites all the buzzwords she likes: children, education, security. She views politically radical ideas with deep suspicion and views nonconformity as a character flaw. I look at the government we have, and can't help but think it's exactly what she would do if she were in charge: lots of benefits for retirees, enormous spending on education, vigorous enforcement of drug laws, long punishments for criminals. What exactly would we do differently if my mom were in charge instead of the shadowy cabal of rich people and purchased politicians? Very little.

And the fact is, she is in charge. She's who votes, without fail, in every election. The government doesn't need to keep her in line. The government is what she uses to keep everyone else in line.
As of today, there isn't much of an advantage of doing a SiP for a chip like the AM335x other than the high speed design. Most of market is still with PCB SoMs for larger cortex-A chips.

The real advantage of SiP is with BLE or similar. That's because not only do they take away the complexity of RF design, and regulatory certification i.e FCC, IC, CE etc.. The market for BLE SiP modules that integrate the crystal, Balun, Antenna and are are certified is exploding.

Just a year ago, the cost difference between a BLE module and BLE chip was large enough to justify doing a custom design for anything more than 5K Units/Year. However, the Math is slowing moving towards higher and higher volumes. Already anything that ships less than 20K-30K per year doesn't justify the cost of doing a custom RF design.

Maybe in a couple of years, there will be a mass market for Beaglebone SiPs. Just not yet.
The parents point is valid though.

If not eating sugar could slow (all) cancers, then not eating at all would clearly cover that case, and should have slowed the lung cancer.

At the very least, his anecdote is convincing to me that it "starving the cancer" doesn't work with lung cancer.

In the more general sense though my first impression of the phrase "route energy through metabolic pathways that cancer is disadvantaged for" is that it sounds like random word salad.

This has always been a difficult challenge when job hunting for me, and I'd be curious to hear how you dealt with this in your application process.

Nearly every job offer I've encountered expects a response within a few days. In practice, I'm usually interviewing at multiple places and at different stages of the interview process at each.

When engaging with so many companies, how in the world do you synchronize all the offers + interviews?

For nearly every offer I've received, I feel that the company might take objection or even not allow me more than 3-4 days to decide on an offer.

Also, how do you manage other companies sensing that you're 'playing the field' with them (which can easily become apparent, when you're employing these tactics)? That's generally not positive for goodwill with someone you might eventually be working directly + closely with.
Microsoft Comfort Mouse 1000 fan here. Simple, higher quality, well fitting. Hard to believe they were released so long ago (2003). Like someone else said, designers have went a bit nuts.

I've went through a few of the Comforts but luckily I still have a couple functional and a spare in the box.

Gordon actually has some really good chapters on healthcare and medicine, among the very best parts of his book. He's also absolutely nuts with graphs and tables, and covers much of this in detail.

TL;DR: 2x the improvement of life expectency came before 1950 as after. Medicine since 1970 has been expensive, high-tech, changed rapidly, and delivered very little. Much the improved outcomes arises from improved access for the underserved, not radical treatments. Genomics and stem cells are specifically and pointedly disappointing.
Individuals can withdraw their consent from interactions with other individuals. They cannot do so in interactions with the police. That's a unique power. And while the Home Office stated it, it's the basis for policing in every developed country.

And there is nothing contradictory about the Home Office quote. The government is the instrument through which the people, acting collectively, coerce individuals to behave. The collective needs to consent, but the individual doesn't need to. That's the point of government.
I can almost see your point, but these days I think most people who are interested in programming languages know to scroll, and that doesn't seem particularly onerous to me. Granted, they probably should make it a little more obvious, but it's not that bad.

I think it would be interesting to find a way to put the study projects to practical use. For example, look for incomplete feature requests on open source projects in various languages and critique the students on their implementations. Or find people who need small website work done and set up a dev environment where the students can learn on a real project, and then get feedback on their work. A kind of practical learn by doing, with a teacher.

"Entrenched and permanent" is a bit exaggerated, as the governments of pervasive-surveillance East Germany and the Soviet Union discovered.
A friend of mine (she is a microbiologist, let's call her Lucy) was diagnosed with Uterine cancer. Oncologist told her they have to remove her womb, otherwise she'll die in a couple weeks. She decided to avoid "traditional treatment". Instead, she shared her issue with various professors from the university she is working at. One of the professors (another friend of mine) advised her to go to the Republic of Peru. He gave her contacts of his friend who's already been there and suggested to talk to him first. Lucy got in touch with this guy, he convinced her to go and in a week or so she was already in Peru.

In Peru, Lucy met some sort of a shaman. He wrote down her a list of things she must eat and things to avoid. This list also contained some herb, that she had to eat during the 2-3 months she was there.

After a few months, she got back home. 6 months after - no cancer. Year after this all happened she was dancing at my sister's wedding, healthy and happy.

Now as for the Peru guy and the friend of my friend who been there :) He had a brother. They both got cancer. One of the brothers decided to go with traditional treatment (radiation and all that). The other one went to Peru.

Long story short: the one who picked traditional methods died many years ago. The other one (who convinced Lucy to go) - completely recovered.

As far as I know, overall treatment was less than $5,000. If I'm not wrong, this was including rent + air flight.

I must add, that Lucy lost 45 pounds within a year. During my sister's wedding, she was only eating some oceanic fish and rice.

Edit:

This is just a short story from people I know in person. All of them are scientists working at university, doing researches on molecular genetics & microbiology.

I'm not even sure the guy in Peru was a shaman. That's just how I called him here. I just don't believe he was a real doctor. The gist of the whole treatment was fasting, not a herb.

I've been told that the great firewall is actually more about protectionism than censorship. They know they can't really contain information, but they can block or degrade foreign services to favor their own. Of course this does serve a state censorship and surveillance agenda indirectly since home grown services can be more easily controlled.

As much as I can't stand Trump and could never vote for him, I do think he's one of the few candidates raising the issue of how unfair our trade relations are with China. The WTO limits tariffs but the Chinese have found tons of indirect ways to implement protectionism: the great firewall, manipulating their currency, making it hard for US firms to take payments in China, etc.
Lack of clean air to breathe and rampant corruption and authoritarianism seem not very conducive to a successful startup culture. There is a huge churn of chinese money trying to find places to go and get a good roi. It is not clear that this will last though.

Also, I find it unlikely that without a free/open software ecosystem like linux or bsd they will get very far. Building a startup culture on a general computing foundation of massively pirated windows os is just not going to work.
Is that the one near Haidian book city? I had lunch there once, but I didn't notice anything.
It's cool to see Cheku mentioned on here, they just celebrated their 5 year anniversary a month or so ago. Does seem like a lot of the cooler projects have left for greener pastures though, and the people that are left, ah well.
I'm not undermining them - simply stating that there was a vacuum created by the lack of competition. Even cloning successful services at scale is incredibly difficult, but it's not 0 to 1, it's 1 to n. Nonetheless, I agree Chinese startups are using their current leverage to innovate in really interesting new ways.
Great idea, would love to see this integrated into Wikimedia or something similar

That's kind of missing the point. For casual communities, it's easier to just not post.

I don't care enough about posting that awesome recipe for brussel sprouts with bacon lardons to go through the effort of setting up a custom domain so I can sign up for an anonymized facebook account so that I don't have to worry if it will show up in my family member's news feeds. I barely care enough to tweak facebook settings to keep it hidden. I also don't necessarily want to share who I am, where I work, what my other hobbies are, and so on to the world, which means that in the absence of a good anonymous forum implies that I'd prefer to keep my posts restricted to a more private audience, so I don't necessarily feel like posting with my facebook account.

As the weakly anonymous communities are dying or shrinking, the separation of "who I am" and "what I do" makes it more difficult to share the interesting things I know publicly without exposing my real world identity.

Since I don't care much, the post doesn't happen, and I move on with my day. And the internet is a little bit poorer for it. I suspect that lots of little dyanmics and frictions like this are what's killing the 'old way Americans used the internet'.

It's theoretically possible to fight this. But for almost all casual content, the friction is just not worth overcoming.

The lack of good investment options has something to do with money chasing tech startups, I agree.

> Building a startup culture on a general computing foundation of massively pirated windows os is just not going to work.

This really isn't true anymore. Much of Beijing startups are built on Linux/Android, piracy of Windows seems to be way down in general.
I lived in Shanghai and worked in the startup community there from 2012-2013. Im happy to answer any questions people might have. Very interesting space. The government is taking a very active role at developing startup "infrastructure", but it looks incredibly different from anything in the West.
BTW, is it really your opinion that the state has a legitimate claim to nigh-unlimited rule over the public? The Constitution and Bill of Rights was a best-effort attempt to prevent tyranny, not an effort to draw a line for rulers to toe and reach over as far as they can.
and nobody uses windows anymore anyway. I mean its less than 90% of pc users and rapidly declining. And linux is used on at least 1% of pc's and again, rapidly increasing.

Small point but still relative. A citizen can make a citizens arrest, which is law enforcement (USA).

Also as far as being relative it was posed frome the idea that just because something may be legal, it doesn't mean it's a good idea.
How Twitter Reacted on Game of Throne S06E03
You forget when Herc went and grabbed the portable mic from the spy store and stuck it in a tennis ball. Or when they stuck the video camera in the park and got it stolen.

It's pretty much the same thing that happened here. They knew the discussions were happening, they knew where the discussions were happening, and since it was in a public space they didn't need a warrant. It's not like they are running around town putting microphones in all the bus stops hoping to catch anybody saying something. They were looking for a specific type of criminal activity and they placed the mics accordingly.
