> institutions that are critical to a democracy, the media. When the 4th estate works in a neutral, non-biased, fact based way democracy can work.

I don't believe mainstream media ever worked in a neutral, non-biased, fact based way. They definitely have not been for the past few decades I've been on this planet. Maybe in the past they were more under control by various "elites", government or otherwise. Now, in the west, they are "free" - which means they actually serve Moloch[0], by writing what sells. That is, the most outrage-inducing, biased misrepresentations (and often outright lies) they can get away with.

Not sure what is worse[1], but it doesn't matter much. The point is, media isn't "a place to go for trusted information", it never has been, and if this is an institution "critical to democracy", then we have a big problem right here.

One classic way to handle it is to load the binary into IDA Pro (a graphical disassembly suite). That starts from the entry point of the binary and traces through as much of it as possible, noting the locations of strings, function calls, the state of the stack when functions are called, different segments in the binary, etc. It'll allow you to view the code in blocks connected by lines, which indicate branches and loops. As a dev, you can go through the code then and start working things out. With some investigation and the context of where you are in the program, things slowly start falling into place, and you can start putting names to different functions. Although...Dwarf Fortress looks like it was compiled with GCC 4.5, so I'd expect things to be pretty difficult to read, just because of non-obvious optimizations made by the compiler.

I've always thought it would be useful to have a debugger that logs all the locations that data is read from or written to during execution, and which addresses were executed as instructions. Just play the game for a while to try to get some good code coverage, and import the data as extra input into IDA (probably you'd have to write your own plugin for that too).
This is the big point.

Investment houses don't start from the same place as an index fund. Their returns are penalized from the start due to the fee structure. So not only do they have to beat the market, they have to do it by a sizeable margin before the end user sees a profit advantage.

For a retail investor it is hard to justify not choosing an index fund.

@dijit, if you want to improve your relationships, practice the Golden Rule (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule), treat others as you would want to be treated, and don't treat them the way you wouldn't want to be treated.

Have a look at http://www.thewaytohappiness.org/thewaytohappiness/precepts/... and http://www.thewaytohappiness.org/thewaytohappiness/precepts/... which describe and give examples of both sides of this rule.

Don't concentrate on how others may be treating you (delaying your projects) or what you might be doing wrong (toxic interactions) but focus on the positive way you can treat others (fairly? with respect? helping them? etc.)

I challenge you to practice the Golden Rule assiduously for a week and see how life seems then. =)

Good luck!

Sometimes, however, they are sober at their first deliberation, but in this case they always reconsider the matter under the influence of wine."

I have been seeing a lot of people I know defending Gawker and I don't really get it. If a business uses illegal practices they should be sued. There is freedom of the press but that doesn't give you complete immunity for everything. It seems like journalists these days think they can do anything they want. Remember the News International phone hacking scandal? You can't break the law to get profits. I wouldn't mind if the "next gawker" is underground -- at least no one would be profiting on shady journalist tactics
As someone who is actively anti-racist, I weirdly find myself partially agreeing with you.

Racism is hard to overcome and widespread. People are not either 'racist' or 'not racist'. Certainly people can be pro-racism or anti-racist in their intentions, but that is separate from how we actually act, since a lot of racism is unconscious and invisible.

Labeling actions and activities and even groups as racist is necessary, because we need to become conscious of these forces if we are ever to overcome them.

However, whether labeled as racist or not, everyone's voice needs to be heard in the political process. So where I agree with you is in using the label of racism as a tool to silence or ignore people.
SRP is an "Augmented PAKE" which does not require the server to ever see the plaintext password. I'm not aware of any others that are claimed to be patent-free.
Sortition is based on chance, instead of agreeableness.

Referendums are a great idea, but I think that the British yes/no vote was way too simple to game. Using hindsight to save the day, given that there appears to be no gameplan for where to go now, maybe the different options should have been explored before putting it to a vote:

* remain in the EU

* leave the EU, remain in the single market

* leave the single market

* leave the single market, destroy the chunnel

At least with a referendum like that, you force the people to have a content-filled opinion, instead of relying just on an empty "no". That also reduces the options for tea-leaf reading by the losing side.
If you take outside investment to grow faster and are coming from a $300-500k+ job, you'll be getting less cash compensation for years unless you're in the VP Sales role or a senior seller.

If you grow more slowly you can avoid most investment, especially VC, you can pay yourself whatever you/the team/the board approves, which will likely be more if you build a great business.

And if you're not coming from a higher-paying job, you should be able to pay yourself over $100k post A, then high $hundreds (to rough market/at least cost of living) and perhaps a little higher, depending on city, stage, health of business.

We decided on the VC path and have been thrilled with it so far. A number of us will be taking permanently lower liquid comp packages for the next 5-7 years but the upside is the equity and fun of building and dominating a stale but important space...

Maybe what we need is to teach "limits of models" or some such as part of our educational curriculum. Learning to know when to stop trusting your model without further evidence seems to me to be a critical skill.

And it seems to me that a prime example of this problem is the "the universe is probably a simulation" people. I get that you can make that argument, but they seem to actually believe that the argument reflects reality. That's kind of unsettling - not the argument, but that they take it that seriously.

This is a must-read for any web developer, frontend, or backend, or full-stack. It's short enough to be a fun read, but detailed enough to convey the most important browser networking facts.

If you can, buy a hard copy to keep as a reference. I have referred back to mine regularly (and will surely refer back to it in the future, likely next time I have to do something serious with websockets). It's fairly neatly organized by protocol, so if you just need a quick review of HTTP2 (for example), you can skip to that section and read it in isolation.

I highly, highly recommend.
To be fair, this is due to the horrible branding on NginX's part. Nearly every non-technical person I know has pronounced it njinks, because using 'n' phonetically as 'en' is not exactly commonplace.

Watching our PM get to their name in a story and pause for a few seconds and just say "that word" instead should give you some idea of how counter-intuitive it is.

The actual content on the page really isn't that large. I got too bored to actually complete this, but you can see an example of what it could have looked like at http://pastebin.com/DBgK4Tv9

It could have progressively enhanced itself, taking the plain-text HTML page, parsing out the choices in the em tags (which could of course have had classes attached to mark them as choices, or even to indicate classes of choices, e.g. 'day-name'). It would have been a perfectly useful tool for people without JavaScript; it would have been perfectly useful printed on a page.

And, frankly, it would almost certainly have been a lot smaller than 500K.

That doesn't take away from how cool it is: the author did a nice, exhaustive job (so exhausted I got exhausted trying to recreate it). He should be commended for it.

I always hated literature and writing classes, because it felt wrong to force people to do things which are meant to be pleasurable. At the time, I thought the only point of such classes was so that students could pretentiously be considered "cultured".

>As an intern, you are most likely a net-negative

I'm confused by this.

Why would I want to take an internship where I was considered a net-negative?

If the institution of learning that is placing these interns is slotting people into internships, and they are worth than useless -- net negatives, as you say -- where is that institution's accountability here?

Why would any intern walk into that situation? Why would a company take them on under those circumstances?

Sure, I would expect an intern to be very inexperienced, to need mentoring, to need training, but the idea is that I'd get free or nearly-free labor in exchange for some of this required mentoring and training... and potentially have some partially trained future employees in the pipeline.

It would be, I think, crazy to expect that interns walk in already completely hammered into the appropriately shaped pegs to slot into jobs.

I'd fire the person who fired the interns -- I mean, how much time and effort on the part of the people who arranged those internships, did that person waste by being a dick? How does it affect the department plans to get work done with these interns?

If the answer is "not at all," why the !@#$% do they take on interns? Some kind of tax break thing?

When I was an intern [sometime mumble mumble nineteen-eighty-mumble], I spent a year earning a tiny stipend and working crazy hours because I did tedious work that my organization wanted done but no one had time or inclination to do. I learned a lot, including how to work with people in my department, but I did not learn "I'm worthless and should never question authority because I'll be immediately fired."

And, p.s., I've worked with and supervised interns before in several different workplaces.

> once you have major media bought and paid for by those "elites" to push some billionaire's agenda you sow distrust in media. Once the voters don't have a place to go for trusted information all bets are off...

I don't think this is what's happening. Much of the media - especially the Murdoch/Fox empire which includes many of the most popular news outlets in the US and UK - sells anger, distrust of government and 'mainstream media' (which somehow doesn't include Murdoch's companies), and outright lies and propaganda.

IMHO, that's where much of the distrust comes from; it's nothing more complex than a propaganda campaign.
There are a lot of issues with this data.

1) Last 100 years has ZERO chance to be the same as the next 100 years.

2) The SP 500 adds and subtracts companies as they grow, fold and go bankrupt. So the only way this would be maybe work is if you invested in the ETF.

3) Macro-economic events are notoriously hard to predict and anticipate, and your returns are very much tied to how you time your entry point. If you invested in the beginning of 2008, you would have a 33% return, same for a 2001 entry. In the beginning of 2009, around 100%.

Or a mid 2013 entry would get you a 17% return for three years, around 5% a year.

And if you invested in mid 2014, you haven't seen ANY return, 0%.

The point is that entry points are insanely important. Getting 33% return for 15 years is horrible, especially given the opportunity costs.

This is the problem that you get when Warren Buffet fools you into "buy and hold". Yes, it has worked for him, but he is an insanely great investor. You can't replicate his returns. You can't even sniff his returns.

So what's the answer? I don't know, do what you want with your money, just don't listen to anyone who thinks they know the answer.
