I don't think he really has anything to lose. The government isn't going to do anything to him, even if Trump wins. And among his peers, I'm sure that criticizing Trump as being unfit for office is about as controversial as insulting the taste of Bud Light.
Did you try rkt or find something else which you liked?
Oh how I am disparaged by Sam Altmans words. Not because they are wrong, but because they seem naive.

Trump is right about the problem. His solutions are a more verbose than most. I am reminded of a quote "We must not paint with pale pastels, but with bold colors" Trump is using bold colors to address change.

Mexican Judge - When has it not been heard that many white judges have shown prejudice against a black person or poorer individual. Its not a long shot to say another race can practice prejudice against a white man, when white men and white judges have been doing it for so long.

I have seen many Bernie and Hillary supports cast hatred, throw eggs, beat up their fellow citizen in the name of democracy. Yet our leaders choose to say nothing. To down play it. But those same leaders look for support of those exact same people throwing the punches and the eggs.

Why when choosing to bring up bold colors, do people float to Hitler and Germany? Its extremely hard to understand the reference when all it forces the reader to do is visualize the reference and then creating a connection between Trump and Hitler. Its horribly sad to see such a connection being made, when it seems the Writer, that being Sam, is naive on the issues of Hitler and Germany.

Sam makes references to Immigrants. When in fact TRUMP supports immigrants. Make no mistake between the two. Trump is PRO IMMIGRANT. But he is also PRO-LEGAL IMMIGRANT. Sam makes another naive comment when he believes Trump is anti immigrant. I doubt he is aware, but there are millions of immigrants WAITING in LINE for a LEGAL way to enter the United States. When what is happening is the illegals choose to do it ILLEGALLY, and we say fuck it. Just give them status. No says Trump and No says America. Obey the laws FIRST. Then you can come in. Make no mistake, Trump is PRO immigrant. Just anti Illegal.

No serious growth of economics? Cut Taxes, choose a tax plan, that CBO says will drastically cut out DEBT per taxpayer. That is $1,000,000 per family owed in debt. That is $1,000,000 owned per tax payer in debt. He has chosen his plan and its Sam's naive writing that describes it differently.

With Trump, you MUST start reading between the lines. For every single time he has said he wants LEGAL immigration, he has said 100 times he wants to build a wall.

Sam Altman is too naive within this article to read past main stream media. Its saddening that someone I respect soo much is not as intelligent politically as I would have hoped.
Why would you learn to program an arduino? Sure it has some practical uses, but in most cases what you can build yourself is not better or cheaper than commercially available products.
Hi Alan,

I'm part of a generation who didn't grew up with the PDP but had LOGO and basic available in computers and calculators.
With the Amstrad CPC it was possible to interupt a program and to change a few lines of code to make it do something else which was a great way to keep interested. And with calculator it was possible to code formulas to resolve/check problems.

But how would you teach programming today to a kid?
Would you choose a particular medium such as a computer, a raspberry pi or even a tablet?

And if I may, do you recommend any reading for bedtime stories?

Thanks you, Kevin
Trump supporter here. If Trump is not elected I will be very concerned for the future of this country. Not sure why any real American would not vote Trump.

If you are going to use that description, it will apply to every politician with modest success, however it is not what is commonly thought of as a demagogue, probably because something that applies to almost everybody is a meaningless adjective.

(OSX) I keep a bash script in a gist on GitHub that I can copy down and run on a new system. It installes Homebrew, rvm, nvm, and then a bunch of homebrew and homebrew-cask packages which is pretty much all of my development environment. Every so often I'll `brew list` and paste in the latest dependency list to keep it up to date.
I maintain an open source project for writing SQL queries[0] that currently uses codemirror. I find it a little sluggish to load. This looks like it could be a good option -- the one thing that would make it a codemirror killer for me is the ability to resize the editor window; something text areas obviously natively support, but codemirror does not. Any idea if Monaco does?

Hi Alan,

I'm curious whether you think it might be an important/interesting direction for program editors to depart from character sequence manipulation to something along the lines of AST editors. Or is this only a red herring, and perhaps not so deep a change?

Last I checked public parks by default allow anonymity and the exchange of encrypted messages in public.

Further, allowing anonymity & strong encryption on amateur radio is possible.

If you're claiming there's a difference somehow in the use of spectrum bandwidth, I'm not seeing it; meaning even with anonymity and strong encryption it would be possible to manage bandwidth abuse.
Not sure where you're seeing that. Many prominent Republicans have endorsed Trump, but then denounce comment after comment Trump makes, without ever removing their endorsement of the candidate out of loyalty to the party.
Admire that you felt the need to say something Sam, but unfortunately I don't think anything productive is going to come from it.

If you really want to stop Trump, unfortunately at this point the only thing you can do is hold your nose support Clinton. The time where we had any other options unfortunately has passed.
The British used Napoleon, I think (source newspaper cartoons from the 1700's and 1800's). Supposedly, to get them to eat quickly or to go to bed, they would frighten children by telling them that Napoleon would get them if they didn't.

I guess e-bay and amazon are good in aggregate, i.e. there are only a few scammers, so if you sell thousands of units you don't really care, but the risk is just not worth it for the individual seller.
Naturally, the people who are modding you down are conspicuously silent on why it's necessary or even desirable to make it harder for China to simulate nuclear weapons.
I own the book. His other one Thinking as a Science is also good.
Why isn't it based more on a trust system? Amazon records a ton of information about people..

Buyers with a history of claims should generally not be trusted when opening a new claim, and likewise, sellers with a history of claims should not be trusted.

New buyers and new sellers (no history) require some more scrutiny, but the default should probably be to be skeptical as well.

When new, how hard is it to link an IP address (or some other fingerprint) as likely to be from other accounts? Eg: new buyer/seller opens dispute, has no history, but IP is linked to a no-longer active account that has a trail of disputes... that's pretty fishy. I'd probably say that accounts from shared addresses (internet cafes, coffee shops, etc) are probably also treated a suspicious by default... an unfortunate side effect if nothing else.
> docker containers are not meant to be persistent. Things like storage and state should be kept elsewhere and linked into your containers.

This just means you need two systems to handle job creation, migration, replication, and load balancing. Everything you listed for docker containers is also needed for databases.

You need to remember: At scale, nothing is persistent. You need to notice a failure in your database systems,tear down the broken one, spin up a new instance, migrate the data from a replica, and keep on going.
Or you could ask for their email. I give my google email to the candidates I interview, if they ask.

For the love of 100 million people dead in Europe in a short span of 32 years. Please stop comparing every other 'Native Populist' to Hitler, Mussolini etc. The politics may look similar, yes, there is a racial undertone to it, but seriously, argue the facts not fiction. Comparing Trump to Hitler is intersection of intellectual overreach and laziness.

If 'you' includes us non-Americans who are liable to be affected by US government policies: my suggestion would be to vote Libertarian. Sure, the Libertarian candidate won't win this election, but that's not the point. It's about what message you are sending, what incentives you are conveying, to both current and future politicians.
There is a gang here.
Yes, pretty much the worst of both worlds there. The people who loved Bush will hate him for speaking out afterwards, and the people who hated Bush will hate him for being spineless and not speaking out when it actually might have mattered.

That's bundling an CP application into seemingly AP infrastructure (from what I gleaned from their docs). Completely the wrong tool for the job. If the application was designed for that it would have recovered. In your defense, they have nothing to warn about that in their documentation.
A deep, significant secret of modern society as we know it, all around us:

Modern technological society is not a product of technology alone. We've had relatively intricate mechanical devices dating back to the Roman Coliseum, and before. Suits of armor had hasps, fasteners, catches, and wingnuts.

Modern society is a product of technology crossed with cheap flow of information crossed with interoperability standards. The suits of armor had wingnuts, but the wingnuts had individual faces carved onto them, because not even the left and right shoulder wingnuts were swappable. Common standards have built the shipping, transportation, telecommunications, and computing infrastructures that heavily define modern society today.
Yes. I think they have been slowly getting better.

Visual Studio has let you do hot code editing for over a decade now, they call it "Edit and Continue"[0]. Only works for some languages (C#, Visual Basic/C++). It also lets you modify the program state while stopped on a break-point with code of your devising.

Most browsers also let you adhoc compose and run code without modifying the underlying programs.

Thanks to hardware performance counters, profilers are now able to profile code with much less impact on performance (eg: no more adjusting timeouts due to profiler overhead). Network debuggers are getting better at decoding traffic and displaying it in a more human readable format (eg: automatic gzip decompression, stream reassembly, etc).

I'm not completely sure there... In the end, the onus is on the consumer to know how many calories they're taking in. That said, I do dislike a lot of the additives/preservatives that are being put into the food supply. Packaging meats in inert gases to preserve color, taste/preservation additives in bread, the widespread use of heavily subsidized and refined/perfumed/died vegetable oils.

First get rid of subsidies... second might be a tax on products containing sugars not in their natural state (okay in whole apples, not in juice, or added to breads/candy/pasteries).

Another large issue is simply education and advertising. Child-targeted advertising works surprisingly well. Also, people assume that "natural sugar" is significantly better for you than refined sugars. Once it's juiced/pureed and/or cooked, it's far more digestible and far more unhealthy than whole fruits.
> Trump is the most visible and frightening symptom of a massive wave of ignorance and insecurity among the American electorate.

The issue is not the massive wave of ignorance and insecurity, the issue is that those people will procreate more ignorant and insecure people and the issue will never end.

We have a system where the well-thought vote of an educated person has the same value than the sensationalism-based vote of an ignorant and insecure person, the problem is that the educated people is getting outnumbered, so whoever manages to move the feelings of the ignorant and insecure people has the election already won...
Nice try, but you're defending the indefensible. You're arguing semantics when it's very clear what Trump means by his words, that he repeats in different sentences and occasions. What's the difference between what he actually said regarding the judge in his case and your 'clarification'? it's the same thing.

You also conveniently ignored the fact that Trump wants to ban about 1.2 billion people from entering the US because of their religion, and treat the Muslims already in the US as a fifth column similar to what the Nazis did with the Jews. How long before the frothing-in-the-mouth, 'patriotic', armed Trump goons commit a Kristallnacht against Muslims in the US? this is exactly where we're heading with a Trump presidency.

Frankly, it's disappointing that anyone with a sliver of intelligence can be fooled by this dangerous, reckless, and divisive figure. A figure that has made racism and misogyny acceptable to the masses, and, in the ominous words of the future dictator: "racial profiling is not the worst thing to do".
The conditions that has enabled a Trump like persona's, won't go away… show up to a ballot booth as many times as you want… see how well that worked for greeks, and soon the british. Maybe a sprinkle of metadata drone strikes within the continental US might fix things… only to be expected eventually after what delightful gifts we giveth others abroad and at home these past hundreds of years, but lets not suggest that no matter who wins this election, we will only see more of what we have seen so far, and as we all know, arms manufactures in dire times will sell to all parties :P

From Sam Altman's post: Demagogic hate-mongers lead down terrible paths.

Demagogic hate-mongering has become the default mode of the political theater that now passes as "public discourse" in our media on both ends of the political spectrum. The new internet media gives strong incentives to that which gains attention, and nothing gains attention like outrage.

What's scary about Trump isn't that people are unwilling to speak out against him. What's scary is that so many people actually want him to win. Trump isn't the problem, Trump is the most visible and frightening symptom of a massive wave of ignorance and insecurity among the American electorate. He's the blood in the stool. Speaking out about how bad the blood is won't really help, you need to go in and kill the cancer that's causing it.

Blood in the stool is quite apt. The cancer is the incentive structure of our media. Let's face it, the current incentive structure of our media today is one in which things like Gawker thrive and anything which is actually substantive suffers a prolonged trickling death. Again, it's the incentives. Outrage politics and the current social media are just the high fructose corn syrup of the mind.

I guess in the use of technology one faces a process rather similar to natural selection, in which the better the user's ability to restrict his use to what he has to do, the more likely the survival, i.e. the user will not procrastinate and get distracted. The use of computers for entertainment is unstoppable, it's nearly impossible to not allow the kids find and play those games, chat with friends on WhatsApp, and be exploited otherwise by companies that make money from that sort of exploitation, even though that's at the cost of their psychological health and future success. People spend every single second of the day connected and distracted, and this seems irreversible. I wonder if you have any practical thought on how this can be remedied.
Thank goodness none of the remaining candidates voted for that war and vehemently defended their decision till the late 2000s or they'd stand no chance in this race.
There are more than 23,000,000 books in the Library of Congress, and a good reader might be able to read 23,000 books in a lifetime (I know just a few people who have read more). So we are contemplating a lifetime of reading in which we might touch 1/10th of 1% of the extent books. We would hope that most of the ones we aren't able to touch are not useful or good or etc.

So I think we have to put something more than randomness and following links to use here. (You can spend a lot of time learning about a big system like Linux without hitting many of the most important ideas in computing -- so we have to heed the "Art is long and Life is short" idea.

Part of the "Oxbridge" process is to have a "reader" (a person who helps you choose what to look at), and these people are worth their weight in gold ...
Kik's a chat app and only a chat app (ie. they don't have a bunch of other properties that receive traffic like Google or Facebook) so this is what they've got, and what they have to work with. They can use them to keep people within their app and track where they go to afterwards.

They're gambling on the fact that bots will set their platform apart from all the other chat apps. Of course, now, everyone else also has bots. But the article is about how they did it first (out of the "western" chat apps).
What does the world actually need?
Good points well made and no offence taken at all.

In our particular industry there are some large (wealthy) incumbents who bid silly prices for the keywords that convert. It's a race to the bottom, with Google the ultimate winner. Our CAC was infinitely higher than the LTV of paying customers permitted on Adwords as a channel, so we had to ditch it.

We did try the usual things, landing pages with unique copy, split testing ads, split testing landing page copy, negative keywords, retargeting and so on but as the OP discovered just didn't convert. I should add that when I say it didn't convert - what I mean is that we have other channels that convert at a much lower CAC, and so we have doubled down our efforts on those instead :) Google doesn't need any more of my money!

Facebook - We probably could have spent more time and money on before writing it off but again, we have other channels that are working and so didn't feel the need to push on with Facebook.

In your experience does Facebook do well for B2B products like ours?
Trump: Jake, if he was giving me fair rulings, I wouldn't be talking to you this way. He's given me horrible rulings.

Tapper: But I don't care if you criticize him. That's fine. You can criticize every decision. What I'm saying is, if you invoke his race as a reason why he can't do his job ...

Trump: I think that's why he's doing it.
Intelligence is supposed to be a measure of intellectual capability, independent of knowledge. It's difficult to define clearly, but knowledge is definitely a different quality.

Of course "smart" is even less well-defined than intelligence, so it's not a very useful word for such a discussion.
