Could some countries realistically just phase out (outlaw) most classes of meat production and consumption? IMO that's much more interesting than any taxation/disincentivization scheme.
This will be an interesting one to watch. I know a number of people who felt that their "rejection" was due to their age. I'm not sure if the case has much merit but would love to see what discovery turns up. The median age of engineers vs the median age of Google engineers is certainly something worth understanding.
Raven's Progressive Matrices aren't really based on spacial rotation, but an interesting point. One thing we might look for to test this idea would be Raven's Matrices tests of illiterate Chinese farmers. They were developed in the late 30s, so it's possible such studies were done. Though we'd need to be wary of the Flynn effect.

We see similar IQ differences in Ashkenazi immigrants to America and Canada, and these differences have persisted over multiple generations. You would expect regression to the mean if it is purely a selection effect. Also, selection effects can't explain 27% of United States Nobel prize winners in the 20th century, 25% of Fields Medal winners, and 25% of ACM Turing Award winners, for obvious reasons. 10x overrepresentation isn't something selective immigration can explain when the the global Ashkenazi population is so small.

Wealth is tied with cognitive ability. Look at Jewish immigrants in the 1930s, most of them were extremely poor, but their children grew up to be disproportionately successful. Most people desire wealth. Intelligence is your ability to realize your desires. Intelligent people will tend to acquire more wealth than less intelligent people. As intelligence is highly heritable, this has class implications that can't be ignored.
What transpires is that he works a lot. Overall I think he will remain as a good president. I only wish he had taken more courageous decisions on whistlebowers and drone policies for instance.
>> How so?

It's been a long time since i read about those subjects, but from what i remember - TOR is a low-latency network, which is required for regular web sites to work. This means the network can do little to randomize/mess with packet timing, and thus leaks packet timing which theoretically(and practically) can expose them to timing attacks.

The onion network, on the other hand, does support high-latency connections.

I wonder if Amazon will ever offer AFS (Amazon Fulfilment Service)? Imagine how much lower their costs of delivering goods from warehouse to customers would be. I understand this would push people away from listing on Amazon directly and there are some strategic/information issues but the cost reductions could be so dramatic that they outweigh this!
> Do any "smart" devices not try to connect to remote servers, automatically, without asking the user for permission?

I believe this is the point of Apple Homekit. And probably whatever Google has in the works will follow the same path.

Your IoT devices only talk to your Apple TV, and the Apple TV talks to Apple which provides the cloud-connected app on your phone.

That way the million IoT vendors shouldn't have to worry about security as much, becuase their devices are behind your NAT and communicated with through Apple's security.
What is rigged against them? Do people, in general, live 100x times better than before or not?

And don't start that crap about political representation. The elite always has had disproportionate influence over politics and it always will.
That was not the point. Say you have a vessel A, and a vessel B, both feeding hundreds of thousands of neurons. Assume A and B both feed neuron X (one of those many neurons). Then A and/or B might fire up in a scan when X is active. The "and/or" is the tricky part.
I don't know what your role is in this, but is this simply an issue of transcribing the audio of the lectures and providing them along with the video? Is there any program set in place to have someone (assuming a software-only approach isn't satisfactory, as it might not give correct results) do this?

More directly, could one volunteer to transcribe the lectures into a CC-like format so that the lectures could be safely and legally be put up for public consumption?

AWS became successful because Amazon could massively dogfood its own services as the biggest online merchant.
Yes, they probably are oversimplified, as is almost every number we talk about when discussing climate change. It's a big topic, and very few people (maybe actually nobody) understand all of the facets of it in enough detail to speak with authority on how they all interact.
I don't care about the price of beef - I only care about the animals living life free of needless cruelty.

I am not even convinced that it will be more expensive - the US is vast, there is lots of stuff to graze, instead of disposing of the manure it will be used as fertilizer and so on.
Oh, you can't just give us the set-up and not include the punchline like that. Here's a fuller version of it, in its original point form from Steve Yegge's[1] infamous rant:

6)Anyone who doesn’t do this will be fired.

7)Thank you; have a nice day!

Ha, ha! You 150-odd ex-Amazon folks here will of course realize immediately that #7 was a little joke I threw in, because Bezos most definitely does not give a shit about your day.

#6, however, was quite real, so people went to work...

Most career gamblers are making money in poker. In big money games, you play against other players and the house takes a rake. If players have stacks in the millions (which they do), the rake is pretty damn big. Not to mention, players will win a million in poker, then go play Baccarat or something. Gamblers don't gamble just to make money...
One is predictive, the other is retrospective.

Best I can tell, market monetarism devolves to assumptions/beliefs about which strength of the EMH to use and about volatility. I'm interpreting "market monetarism" as "use an NGDP futures market".

This should (IMO) be viewed as a decent summary:

http://noahpinionblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/excess-volatility...

I am not 100% sure I actually understand the post - I'd think that a "low pass filter" could be applied to Fed actions to address this, but it could easily be that I'm simply wrong about that. I have two competing biases - one, control theory, and two, a skepticism of how the EMH works out in real life.

Also, it's not clear to me exactly what would happen if the Fed simply adopted say, a 4% inflation target.

None of the cryptocurrency communities have successfully integrated with I2P.

The primary goal being to include a native I2P routing client within all of the respective cryptocurrency's daemon's and client software.

(Most cryptocurrencies broadcast a lot of information about you to the nodes, and when you really dive into it, the result is a little unsettling. In this regard it is kind of like bittorrent where other peers in the network can see information about you.)

As far as formal partnerships go, Anoncoin was the closest, where they got some public mention from the I2P stewards, and had icons on the I2P dashboard when you logged into that darknet. Anoncoin's steward disappeared with an unsuccessful zerocoin implementation and exit scam.

This was 2014.

Monero is an opaque blockchain that has worked out of the box as a private cryptocurrency since early 2014. My cryptocurrency market capitalization, it has remained around #10 for two years.

It is one of the more actively developed cryptocurrencies, and I2P integration is still on their roadmap.

There's nothing else to really say about I2P. There hasn't been much public research into how it works or vulnerabilities, as with the TOR network. I understand it works quite a bit differently, and what I do know is appealing.

But it is currently "meh". Some sites that are super annoying to TOR users, work extremely well under I2P and don't detect that you are not a clearnet user.
Except that Apple computers don't kill people.

I've got three Macs currently, none of which have ever overheated. I use a MacBook Pro on my lap while wearing shorts for hours at a time. It gets warm, but not too warm to use on my lap.

You seem angry about Apple's choices, and clearly they're far from perfect, but it seems like there are a lot of people who value the things Apple does, like very quiet operation and compactness and so on. We're not all as stupid as you suggest.
Kudos to FB. It's a hard problem as you scale. I have a few friends who suggest the article matches their experiences there.

Being a 40-something engineer, you hear the same things over and again. I used to work at MSFT and my first manager there used to espouse company, team, self every day as the HBR article does. He'd regular re-evaluate his priorities based on what is the most beneficial task I can work on for the company today. Makes me wonder if it appears in management books or people just get wired that way.

It definitely a reasonable way to proceed most of the time. Firsthand, I have no doubt that most of the unpleasantness I've witnessed in tech companies is due to team or self over everything.
Mr. Pimentel is a Managing Partner and regional director over several countries and as such the main job is to talk the playbook and drum up business. Finding good people is hard and we are the right guys to talk to. Finder fees are proportional to salary so aiming high is important. He claims on his web page to hire country sales directors and country managers so talking salaries of 200k+ is probably quite natural for him. Maybe he is more thinking of a person who can turn a dead end organization into an agile one - such a feat is hard and requires a multitude of skills. In any case it is likely that some things were mixed up in the interview.

One thing is clear - after the property bust in Spain and Portugal a lot of the higher skilled and mobile people were heading elsewhere. There has been a brain drain in the region. Disproportionally high (vs. average Spanish) salaries may be required if mobile top talent is needed. Agile project management or product ownership for run of the mill projects aren't those. But when talking about roles that shape organizations then things may be different.
Fascist? really, have you ever lived under fascism or dictatorship?

This is welcome to the real world kid, infact this should never have happened I don't understand how would anyone over 12 would think that a petition at your workplace could or should work.

You don't know what circumstances was she working at, you don't know why they were ordered to wear dress clothes (uniforms are pretty damn good for instilling discipline).
Now I understand you situation and you also need to understand that not everyone has to be accepting of your situation including your employer this is perfectly acceptable without being discriminatory.
You work as a programmer which means that you can wear pretty much what you want as long as you do not meet business clients or customers but not everyone else is in the same position as you.
Some employees end up handling people, some of them just end up being in sight of customers, I don't care what you wear when you code something in a cubicle, but I don't want the worker in a funeral home wearing some crap, or my lawyer in a courtroom.

And you are right the company you work for does not own you, but the same goes the other way, it does not owe you anything either. It provides you with an environment in which you can trade your time for pay under a set of agreed circumstances if you do not agree to follow those guidelines you can find another place that allows you to trade your time for money under more palatable or acceptable terms.

So yes this has everything to do with "millennials" or well considering that I am one, entitlement and more like it than not way too many years of pampering by her parents and the educational system that had it's balance of power turned upside down that led her to believe she can just do everything if she signs a petition no matter how passive aggressive her behaviour is in reality.

But overall good for you for not accepting anyone to have an effect on your appearance but with all due respect that's your personal choice you can't claim it to be more important than the company you might work for one day wanting to present a specific image of it's employees that conflicts with your own personal dress code.
At that moment you'll have a choice how much does your external look and what you wear affect who you actually are, if they are that big part of your life that you can't simply change it well then you are at an impasse but please don't make it to be that you somehow are better than a company that has a dress code when you have one too.
Europe in general, with some rare exceptions, does not value the kinds of skills that are selected for in SV.

The culture is bad. The incentives are all wrong. Pay peanuts, get monkeys.

The typical business person in Europe considers him or herself top of the pecking order. This only looks to be true relatively because they hire less capable workers. These are the exact kind of people who imagine hiring twice as many developers gets the job accomplished faster i.e. simpletons.

The typical software engineer is at least one standard deviation above them. Just not in one specific area. In everything. I have friends who did part-time degrees in literature or language studies while they were also studying for computer science at some of the most elite european universities. Most geeks are systems thinkers and have no trouble in grokking areas outside of their main thing. Many of us refuse to be put into a box.

Having interests in exclusively one thing is a pretty fair indicator of not being very adaptive, I'd say it's almost defintional. That is the kind of person they want to hire. You can hire them, but they won't be very good.

Then you get these idiots who think they can run circles around us because they have the phone number of a venture capitalist or bank manager. Get a grip boys, your money doesn't count for much when a software engineer can be ramen profitable so easily. I have all manner of skills I don't bother to put on the market because the rates of pay are so pitiful and I can obtain better results by doing my own thing. Lots of other people just physically move. This is then misread by the business community as 'not enough skills'.

The other thing is that most projects they offer are really boring grunt work where you learn nothing by doing them. If there was an actual project we found cool or innovative we'd probably work for lower base salary plus some equity, but that's not the kind of work we get here in Europe, those kinds of benefits are reserved for Clod-Class. A good many programmers would prefer to work 20 hrs a week as janitors and then work on interesting projects rather than put up with this bullshit plus work 60-70 hour weeks. How many European programmers are told they'll be paid 20-30 euro per hour but actually are required to work three or four hours a day for free? Apparently they like to think we can't do arithmetic but can order a machine to do floating point operations just fine.

I'll hire the Argentinian. Looks like a less problematic fit.

Maybe this could be one of the problems here?.
I have no problem speaking of bad developers because I myself was one. Now, I am probably above average and in some organizations maybe even a "10x" developer. But I shudder thinking of some of the code samples that I've sent to prospective employers in my earlier days (~12 years ago) -- code that I thought was good and clever. Probably most junior developers are bad and I suspect a lot more code gets written by junior developers than we'd like to think. The senior developers get to work on the interesting problems and they leave the necessary but boring coding work to the junior developers.
1. cárnicas is an awesome term for what native English markets would call a "body shop".

Countries should cease trying to increase their populations at the expense of quality of life. This is but one example of many where quality of life suffers and Soylent Green diets are suggested to accommodate the infinite growth crowd. I have a better idea - rather than creating a society that looks like some dystopian nightmare, we simply keep populations in check with the environment.
And: Settings -> Security -> Apps with usage access (turn off for each app). And probably countless other settings too. Good luck finding, understanding and setting them, let alone keeping up with them from one upgrade to another!

Author here - and you're being far too kind. The site is rather hateful on mobile! Sadly you're looking at the limits of my webdev skills, as I spend most of my time on more systems-y stuff.

I hope to improve things myself someday. Unfortunately I'm mid-emigration currently - so it will probably be a while.

I was under the impression out proxies are a thing, and thereby not so different from exit nodes; they are the big weakness.

https://www.reddit.com/r/i2p/comments/46yan0/are_i2p_outprox...

(Again, I am having trouble with the geti2p.net site, which I believe is an public Internet<->I2P HTTP service bridge, which was originally the only outside view in.)

Are they similar? Not sure. To agree with you, I believe the culture and philsophy of Tor is looking out, with exit nodes. I2P was designed to only look in, and the out proxies and bridges are run by select volunteers as a convenience and not the priority.

My favorite part of I2P was there POP3 mailer service, but testing it with friends never seemed to work great.

Agile is barely different to how teams I worked on in the 90s operated, naturally, without trying to implement and enforce a new holy grail, chase the rainbow routine of machinic efficiency. I find it really is much ado about nothing, the emperors new clothes. An anal retentive formalising and trumpeting of common sense. I recall only one project which was waterfall, and the rest were used as soon as they were useful. I have an agile coach at my current job. As far as I can tell his job is to be the expert at drag and drop in Jira, and peeling post it notes. The only good thing I can say about agile is that it fills a space that will otherwise be filled with the next holy grail gimmick which management won't be able to resist as they sell themselves and their new magic power up the corporate ladder. I'm neck deep in this farce at the moment.
