Bizarre from your perspective apparently.

Don't know what "prep work" you are talking about?

"Or are you just saying this for the sake of pointing out a misleading technicality?"

no.
I do not denounce your assertion(s), but, I would like to read how you apply them to Ethereum. To me, the literature seems very much to be attempting to prevent from baking in our (human) duplicitous nature, opting instead for an almost forced virtue. Please suffer a fool and expound/expand for me?
> case sensitive function names

Are you saying that function names should be case-insensitive?
Really depends on the lecturer..

I can't watch Allan Adams in MIT quantum mechanics faster than 1.25x. Gilbert Strang's Linear Algebra on the otherhand I watched consistently at 2x.
there are adblocks on google play store.

its just that the mobile chrome doesnt support extensions. google isnt stopping anyone from a local "adblock" proxy or editing the phones host file.
The IEX delay is uniform and deterministic, so if you're faster than your competitors by 1 microsecond in sending an order to IEX in response to an external event, you still win. The race that you can't win anymore is with IEX's pegged orders, which re-price without the delay (but they're always non-displayed).
The original thread here was about Matt Cutts and his decision to work for the DoD, not about you.

You offered your work experience as a specific example of how you could work for the DoD without being involved in killing people. I think there's no good way to discuss the validity of that example without being a bit callous, since it involves a) your personal work b) discussions about killing people c) politics, but I think the commenters here handled it appropriately. I certainly think it would have been worse for the discussion for it to go unchallenged.
I agree that there are situations where eyes would be bat, just not in the case of seasteading or trying to declare a new micronation in the Danube. Even in the case of Danzig and Crimea, I would argue it's as much about the country doing the seizing as the people being seized. Most likely if Putin decided to put boots on the ground(?) in Sealand, the West would care just because fuck that guy.

I think the parallel isn't in the way that the State might swoop in and do State things, rather that until or unless that happens, Ethereum exists in a similar contradictory place where in principle it's a system of laws but in practice the nation-state miners will decide what happens.
You don't run the server so I guess you can pretend it doesn't exist.

Kinda like s3... it involves servers, but you don't have to do anything. Its just a black box you put in or get out data. "Serverless" FaaS is just a place you park some code and it runs.

Yes the name is kinda dumb.
Nothing comes to mind regarding the underlying technology that I wouldn't share. Shoot me an email if you have a question.

Even though I've been at it for a couple years, I'm confident a tech-focused post from me would be a bit underwhelming.

If that is a human rights violation then what do you call the US, Australia, etc?

The native americans, aborigines, etc are in far worse situation than the tibetans.

I love the hypocrisy we have. I wonder if the china realize the hypocrisy.

Maybe we should return the US, australia, etc to the natives before spouting hypocritical nonsense about human rights.

It may sound like simple advice, but preparedness. Know who is interviewing, when, what everyone is covering, and how long it will be. The worst interviews lack of communication and coordination. The actual interview doesn't matter that much, as the culture is most likely already defined, so just test and question what you hold as important as a company.
As much as I love programming with no self imposed 'walls', I fear maintaining anything larger than 10,000 lines created that way. When you step into an existing enormous code base with no testing implemented, static typing and the associated tooling are fantastic.

Please help make changes in the most efficient way possible. I've seen it before when these digital agencies filled with "innovators" come only to reinvent the wheel; spending ridiculous amounts of tax payer dollars and man hours to create things that could otherwise be brought in from the private sector.

Good luck, do what's right with the tax payer dollars.
I installed the Prime music app and found the catalog to be so limited (albeit "free" with my prime membership) that it wasn't worth it. Also the app nags you randomly even when it's not running to rate and share titles. I uninstalled it after a couple of months.

Probably not inclined to commit to $9.99 for yet another music service, I already have YouTube Red and SoundCloud.
I partially agree — e.g. yes, declarative specifications would have been better. But having looked at some of the code, it's just poor quality. Bad code, plain and simple.

If you write bad code, you will eventually get bitten. If you use bad code to build a financial institution with great claims, it will also cost you money and reputation.

Bad engineering has consequences.
It isn't the "indentured servants" that make china attractive, it's their huge market.

I love how the internet trash also spout the same idiotic nonsense.

China may have a lot of workers, but they also have a lot of buyers as well.
No, I'm saying that if function names are case-sensitive that you're an idiot if you use that feature to distinguish between two functions otherwise named identically with different (important) side effects. The fact that the parameter set is different implies auto completion by an IDE was probably partially to blame here (if you did it by memory you'd have gotten a wrong parameter count warning).

Some language features you best not exploit if you want to write reliable and bug-free (to whatever extent possible) code.

This is not a typo so much as it is a very poor choice of naming convention.
I do not understand the cowardice and fear the Chinese government seem to have of a small buddhist settlement in the middle of nowhere high up in the mountains of Tibet... It looks like they feel the opposite of a superpower and that a few buddhist monks might threaten them so much they have to destroy them. It's very easy to forget how free we are by comparison to those persecuted in occupied territories.
How about if that additional revenue from the sale goes to you?
> You think the west learnt from someone else?

"The west" learnt diddly squat, but even if we assume "we" did -- the most significant turn-point of Western history in the last 150 years was the Holocaust. Are we saying any ethnic conflict on the planet will have to go through a holocaust before anyone "learns"?

> Thats why India has Gandhi

... and still discriminates and kills Muslims on a massive scale, even after partition.

> South Africa has Mandela

... and is now all but enacting white-discrimination in public institutions.

My point is that the concept of history as a progression of "lessons" is optimistic at best, and if we don't keep pushing at all times, things can revert to shit pretty quickly. UK news this week were a sober reminder that we are not all as civilized as we pretend to be.
I am curious what the business case is for the intended change. It seems to be missing from the described context.
There are two rather egregious flaws in this line of thinking from the very start.

The first is that "intelligence" is purely an inborn trait. That "being stupid" is a condition on par with serious mental disability. Stupidity isn't mocked by the smart to belittle the dumb. It's mocked by the majority of society to promote feelings of superiority in the mockery yes, but also to share lessons about what not to do.

Anyone (barring mental disability, and even then) can learn, and can be taught. I've certainly encountered my share of the intelligentsia too brilliant to lower themselves to the common level, but I've encountered far many more gifted people who wanted deeply to share their knowledge with those around them. Yes, our society fetishises intelligence, but the vast teeming masses of "dumb people" are a lot smarter than most would believe.

The second fallacy here is that financial earning or being able to survive at all are somehow connected to "human worth" which is connected to intelligence. As we automate more and more fields of labor, we are moving towards a post-job society. The issue isn't that Americans over value intelligence, it's that we over value the concept of "hard work." Especially as enshrined in the old advice of many parents, "you have to work hard to get ahead in the world."

Well, no, you don't. Working smart helps a lot, but soon you won't have to work at all. Or you won't be able to. Forget our negative perception of "the dumb." We need to fix our negative perception of "the lazy." We must learn how to value people for something beyond their contributions to labor, and maybe we must also teach people how to have and feel valuable beyond labor.

And we should do it fast, because after we automate away the drivers, the merchants, and the laborers, it won't be long before we've automated away the lawyers, artists, programmers, and doctors. And then there will be nothing left but politicians, and is that the world you want to live in?

EB-5 requires me to be putting in 1MM$ of my own money. That's significant for me and more importantly not needed for the business.

E2 is the best bet, and I discussed this at length with counsel. The non-dual intent (same as TN) nature of the status though will put me in exactly the same situation in a few years. Expecting me to invest in the country, while not allowing me to put down roots, is ridiculous and not fair to my family.

Also, I do realize that it's technically possible to apply for citizenship while on TN/E2, but that prevents international travel. I need to be in Canada regularly to care for my parents.

edit: modifying original post to weaken "no legal way" to "no acceptable legal way". Anything is possible.
It's not "some cash" - it's free lifetime income, healthcare, housing, guaranteed additional income for family members, proper schooling for children etc.

It's not greedy to try to obtain these with some risk and a $5k investment, but just wanting these is not a good enough reason for EU taxpayers to pay for millions of migrants - especially when there are many more needy who cannot afford to travel to Europe.
> There is always at least one person in my circle of friends that needs a charger

If your social circle is anything like mine, it's not some person, it's always one, as in a single person who disproportionately is incapable of maintaining their phone. For the majority of people they're very reliable devices, so this is less "everyone will be inconvenienced sometimes" and more "a few people will be inconvenienced a lot". I recognize that it's still an issue, but those people can keep using cards while the rest of us benefit from tap-to-pay being the preferable option a majority of the time.
What is polylog(N)?
The problem is one of trust. Contracts that can either be formally verified, or by nature of the language they are written in are mathematically guaranteed to be free of certain bugs and behaviors can be 'TRUSTED'.

It's a very bad thing to not be able to trust that your money can't be trivially stolen.
That is extraordinarily pessimistic and rather short-sighted, to be blunt. The point of cryptosystem-based financial tools is that they're more... raw than the normal financial tools we have access to historically. They work by a much stricter set of rules. This means it's easier to mess up and lose money, but it also means they're more efficient, predictable, and equitable.

The existing financial system is inextricably entwined with our political and legal system. This is both good and bad. Bitcoin, ethereum, etc. are efforts to make financial systems that are independent of politics and central management. In my opinion, Bitcoin has done a much better job, because it's actually reasonably decentralized and they don't change the rules whenever people get their money stolen.
>Your style of writing doesn't warrant a reply,

Then fuck off! I am not asking for one.

>Who calls McD unhealthy or bland must be "fucking brainless"

Yes because it is healthier than most other "foods" that are available and tastier than most other foods in the world. The existence of healthier or tastier food proves nothing. Is spending the time and money to eat those food instead worth it? NOPE! You know how I know? Because if there was, McDonalds would make it and sell it... or their competitors would and McDonalds would go out of business.

>McD food were as cheap as it is, because it's of the worst quality, that would totally make sense

Yep, if there was excess of it and nobody wanted it, it would be cheap... which is not the case. It's cheap because they have optimized the processes in several ways and sell enough to justify doing it at scale.
I agree that functional vs imperative is a red herring in this case.

The Ethereum model is "imperative" anyway, so a functional DSL would probably end up looking like some kind of monad.

That said, it seems interesting to use a language like Agda for writing a DSL to EVM compiler, regardless of the exact nature of that DSL. Then you can have machine checked compiler correction proofs and also prove theorems about DSL programs.
Though I think UBI can be implemented before or in tandem with fixing our racial issues, here's a quote to expound on this. The Southern Strategy utilized this tactic significantly. From an interview with Lee Atwater[0]:

> All you have to do to keep the South is for Reagan to run in place on the issues he's campaigned on since 1964 . . . and that's fiscal conservatism, balancing the budget, cut taxes, you know, the whole cluster...

> You start out in 1954 by saying, "N-----, n-----, n-----." By 1968 you can't say "n-----" — that hurts you. Backfires. So you say stuff like forced busing, states' rights and all that stuff. You're getting so abstract now [that] you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is [that] blacks get hurt worse than whites. And subconsciously maybe that is part of it. I'm not saying that. But I'm saying that if it is getting that abstract, and that coded, that we are doing away with the racial problem one way or the other. You follow me — because obviously sitting around saying, "We want to cut this," is much more abstract than even the busing thing, and a hell of a lot more abstract than "N-----, n-----."

> So you're saying that we overestimate poverty because the poor engage in extensive tax evasion/disability/welfare/unemployment fraud? And that if we properly tracked work activities by the poor, that poverty would be a much smaller problem than it really is?

No, Im saying that almost all poor people work, they have various hustles to get by. Most of them are not illegal activities, but yes for the most part these are untaxed cash transactions.

Even the homeless man on the corner with a sign is engaged in a form of work, as it is an active process that takes time, and if they did not do it, they would not have money.

Is it productive, no not very, but the good ones provide entertainment in the form of funny signs, stories or puns. I have donated to quite a few who made me smile on my trip across America.

It does less harm than many respectable professions.

And yes, if you are living off the dividend payments from S&P 500 companies that you neither created, work in nor manage, you are mooching.

It's a respectable mooch, for sure, but a mooch none the less.

What else can we call Sam Waltons heirs other than epic mooches?

Tens of thousands of people toil everday for them, all over the world. They have expert MBA's manage the entire operation for them. The pharoahs themselves didn't have such a great system of exploitation of labor.

My main point in all of this is to be aware of class biases in our perception, and the ideology that comes from, and mainly that we should stop beating up on the poor and scolding them.
"I'm making too much money to care" - Oil and coal executives
Well that is a complex issue with wide ranging solutions. My overall point though, even if you believe society is best serviced with High Taxation and large government social systems at least be honest and identify that taxation is infact theft, I am willing to debate the multiude of solution for social problem and wealth inequality but I am not willing to debate if taxation is theft.

It is, there is no debate.

To address the social systems and welfare, I personally believe these systems are largely need because of government. Government creates the problem it then uses taxes to "solve"

A stateless or libertarian society does not benefit the rich, in fact strong central planning and control (aka government) ensure the rich stay rich.

Smash the State, Eat the Rich: https://c4ss.org/content/30085
It starts with the false premise that a psychologist can say that someone "is of no further danger to society."

If that were true, then the solution is easy - psychological evaluations for everyone and rehabilitation until they are no threat!

It then posits that a new criminal system would choose "a prison system, similar to what we currently have in the States." Which is a horrid system; what sort of people, working with a fresh slate, would decide that?

> "Sounds too good to be true? It shouldn’t be."

Or, why not choose the Norwegian approach? Low crime rates, jail programs to help rehabilitate, and their prisons don't "cripple the convict's future."

It's almost as if there were other alternatives between choosing the US prison system or caning.

> But what does that really mean? Instead of carelessly tossing around that term, as though it’s supposed to end all debate, let’s critically analyze it for a second.

All that analysis, and not one link to the US Supreme Court cases on that topic or other legal definitions? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruel_and_unusual_punishment says "There are generally tests that can serve as a guide to what cruel and unusual punishment is according to various legal textbooks in accordance with the law. These are: 1) the frequency at which the punishment occurs in society, 2) overall acceptance in society, 3) severe (the punishment fits the crime), and 4) if the punishment is arbitrary."

Caning in the US does not fit #2.

> Our current system of mass incarceration is horribly broken.

Agreed.

> But in order to truly punish and deter criminal behavior, and do so in a manner that imposes minimal long-term costs on both society and convicts, it’s time we started considering other forms of punishment.

Or, you know, a strong social net, more social equality, a reform of the prison system to treat prisoners as people and not a modern form of slavery, and other things which aren't simply a shift in how we punish people.
Congrats Matt. I hope you kick some serious ass.

Nearly everyone has bought into the utter bullshit that advertising makes the web free.

It's using the shell's own tokenizer to parse asm! That's glorious!

I don't really understand why the code works since I can't read x86 asm yet, but I think how it works is reasonably clear. Each instruction has its own bash function that writes its opcodes to the output file and the asm script to be assembled is (I think) sourced directly into the running shell session.
