I don't think he missed the idea at all. He's not saying that his food is an example of a strange loop or self-reference. He's saying that the reaction to a dish can be similar to the reaction of coming across a strange loop. He says that "When you hit a strange loop like this, it shifts your point of view: Suddenly you aren’t just thinking about what’s happening inside the picture; you’re thinking about the system it represents and your response to it". That's the idea that he wanted to express in his food. He then provides the example of Spicy Pork Sausage & Rice cakes and other dishes that expressed that idea for him. All those dishes were no longer just about the dish, but about the reaction and response to the dish.

> House prices go up. Why?

Supply and demand.

> Shouldn't they depreciate like cars?

If you had to cannibalize key elements of existing vehicles to make most new cars, cars might not depreciate either. Real property and tangible personal property are different.

> What's the difference between the English and Japanese housing market? It is culture or central bank policy?

Perhaps neither. I mean, 0.6% annual population growth vs. -0.2% annual population growth is going to produce a pretty big difference in the housing market, all other things being equal (other things between the UK and Japan obviously are not equal, of course, but that difference alone is going to have an effect on trajectories in the market.)

> Democracy will exist in the future. Why? They never lasted more than 2 centuries before

Iceland (lonest span 930-1430), the Iroquois (since perhaps ~A.D. 1142), and Switzerland (since A.D. 1648) suggest that your "never lasted more than 2 centuries before" is mistaken. And, obviously, these previous long-running examples spent all or much of their existence in their adherence to democratic norms was a notable exception to the surrounding context, one would expect democracies to last longer when it was a more-universal norm.
I've both hired and advised people hiring.

This is beginning to look like the blind men and the elephant.

The inside joke on remote/distributed work is "You know, if we just had 1) better managers, 2) better specs, 3) better tools"

We have been trying all of this for 30 years or so. At some point a reasonable person would look around and see that most all startups are colocated, physically in the same room having to deal with each other all day long.

There are plenty of theories as to why this is true. Another observation: people not in the office do best at rote work: fix the bugs, align the images on the website, and so on.

If your job could be done by robots -- if it required minimal interaction over electronic tools to get specs and deliver on them in an over-the-wall manner -- it will be done by robots. Creating technology is about people, not technology. You sitting in a room and getting into flow-state and cranking out code is nowhere near as important as you interacting minute-by-minute with messy humans and trying to determine the nature of the problem you're solving.

Best-case scenario: you work on a tightly-knit team for a few weeks/months on a fixed-length job. Everybody gets into sync on the customer, specs, terminology, and solution. The customer's problem is not changing that much. You deliver some stuff as a team that people like. At that point, and not before, who cares where people are? Just get the work done.

You can scale that out to working in BigCorp on a fixed domain, but only so much. And the scary thing is that there are no alarms that go off if you're doing it wrong.

It's not impossible, or bad. But it works under very limited conditions. Understanding that is critical. I know there are a ton of folks who want to work remotely. I am one of them. But wanting something and looking realistically at what works or not are two different things.

Getting married and/or having kids is a terrible way to try to address existential boredom. A spouse will not give your life purpose. Kids probably won't either, and if it turns out that you are unhappy and resentful after your failed attempt to solve your boredom, you can easily screw up your kids' lives (and screw up your own life, because kids are not a short-term commitment).

Have kids because you want them. Not because you think they'll give your life purpose.

I find remote collaboration with shared screens and headsets much more productive than sitting next to each other. You can quickly jump back and forth between the shared screen and other activities while collaborating.

We also do this even when being in the same room, just because the screen sharing is so powerful compared to physically sharing a display and a keyboard.

Also, you can quickly and easily call in any number of people and everyone can easily read everything on the screen.

I find this perfect for mentoring, pair programming, demonstrations, meetings, etc.

You don't have to go fetch your coworkers and drag them to your desk to show them something.

Also, you can quickly see if the coworker is busy in another session, or set your own status to busy if you need to work uninterrupted for a while. This is not possible when physically in the same location (unless you have a door you can close).
People will still come up to you and interrupt you with a "quick" question, derailing your thoughts. A virtual call can simply be ignored.
Yeah, containerization is a good point. We've been starting to deploy apps on Docker within the last 6 months. What does Prometheus offer that makes it better for containerization?

This is a pretty rose-colored view of the era that included the Vietnam War, interest rates at 20+%, Iran-Contra, an assassination attempt on the President of the U.S., the Cold War and the associated threat of total societal destruction, the uncertainty surrounding the end of communism, at least two deep recessions, a war in Iraq, vastly fewer rights for LGBT groups, much higher crime rates in U.S. cities, the crack epidemic, the emergence of AIDS, and so on and so on and so on.

Storage is insanely cheap. A terabyte external hard drive is about $60 on Amazon. You can fill one of those up with more FLAC music than you will ever listen to, then encode what you want for regular listening in the lossy format of your choice. The alternative is committing to a lossy format today and being essentially stuck with it forever; you claim mere mortals can't tell the difference between FLAC and high bitrate lossy (I don't disagree), but I'll bet you can tell the difference between first and second or third generation lossy. When you think about it, you're losing usable space on your devices right now, because 260kb/s AAC can be imperceptibly replaced with much lower bitrate Opus.

From what I can see, there is an immense demand from software developers to move to SF, and the non-techies I engage with have already expressed frustration and exhaustion with the overpowering startup culture in the city.
True. The indeterminism provided by letting the OS and cache coherence reorder thread execution and memory accesses in response to external factors is one of the reasons parallel execution can provide speedups in practice, so benign races are important to permit.

But this is a data race: the mail program performs a check on some data (in the filesystem) to establish some precondition, and then a concurrent thread of execution (another process) mutates that data before the mail program acts on its (now invalidated) belief.

LLVM wouldn't call it a data race, because to LLVM all system calls are essentially opaque. But if the filesystem only existed within your process, and were written in idiomatic Rust style, using structs, borrowing, mutability, and lifetimes, then the analogous bug (two threads racing and mutating the filesystem at once) would be prevented. The real villain here is shared mutable state; if UNIX had been written by skilled Rust progammers, it would with any luck have some abstraction that provides more isolation and less potential for interference than the filesystem.
I would say that national political organizations conspiring to exploit bigotry at the ballot box (which you correctly note is allowed) is a civil rights violation. It's the actions of the formal organization to promote bigotry vs the actual voters themselves acting as they see fit.
Good comment. And to your side note: I think TSLA goes to zero in the next 5 years.

That's massively untrue and a good example of the kind of thing people imagine and then project onto HN.

In fact a plurality of this community is critical and skeptical of Silicon Valley (which is fine when the criticism is substantive and not when it isn't, as with anything else). And certainly the vast majority of HN users resides far away from SV.
Most people don't find meaning in the raising of children. It changes your life a lot, but if you feel like your life is aimless and you're just on autopilot, you'll probably feel the same after having kids. It's rare for a person to define their purpose in terms of their kids and be happy about that. Most people still want to have a self-actualized purpose.
I've felt similarly since middle school.

I keep coming back to poor education as the root cause of many problems worth fixing. Sometimes, the root cause is more basic: poor public health. Most hard problems are going to be solved very slowly. In the meantime, short-term solutions just don't seem worthwhile.

The frustrating part is that it's not readily apparent how our technical skills can help with these hard, fundamental problems.
I totally agree, but occasionally there are posts that are worthwhile. Some people have done great write ups about how they've scaled their small businesses to a point where they make a living, but like I said... have to weed through a lot of junk to see something good.

> The framers debated the inclusion of the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution for the simple fact that enumerating the rights made them appear though they were "granted" or in your words "Legal Rights."

No, they debated them because any enumeration would fail to be exhaustive, and they wanted to avoid omissions from negating rights. There was no mistake on either side that the rights written into law would be legal rights, even if they were motivated by conceptions of natural rights.

The confusion of the Bill of Rights with a statement of natural rights rather than a set of legal rights designed to achieve goals set by moral principles which include a particular concept of natural rights is a more recent phenomenon.

>Cars now go 100,000 miles between tune-ups. They used to go, what? 10,000 miles?

I'm curious what your definition of tune-up is, because I don't believe there exists a car that can go that far unmaintained without doing lasting damage to various systems.

After a quick Google, my impression is that most 2016 cars have a first maintenance schedule around 5k-6k miles. Some as low as 3,750.
Switching costs to move cities is quite high.

Even if you find a new job and an affordable place to live -- not that easy to do -- you're going to have to pay a lot of out of pocket expenses (i.e. rental deposit, moving/packing expenses), which is really tough when 47% of American's are so cash strapped they can't afford to pay for a $400 emergency. [0]

It also has a high social and emotional strain. You'd be leaving all your family, friends, and cultural identify you've built up in a city. Plus if you're in a relationship or have a family, your partner would need to find work too, and your children would have to leave school/their social circles.

It's a really disruptive life change, and though sometimes it can help improve someone's financial situation, it's a tough thing to expect of thousands of people. I can't blame them if choose to keep struggling to get by in their hometown.

Generally, having an electric car would push your electric bill into much higher usage tiers where the power is most expensive. Solar panels make the most sense for people who use the most electricity and pay the most for it. I've seen first hand that people who drive electric cars like to talk about clean energy and if they've got solar panels on their roof, it refutes the argument about burning coal to generate the electricity. As solar panels continue to drop in price, it starts to make more sense for the rest of the population, too.

You are wrong about that. There is nothing inherent in a polling model that limits its ability to scale. You simply shard based on service or pod, or row(whatever your unit of scale is) and then you can always use consistent hashing/federation. Prometheus is a single binary.

The people that were interested in Ingress wanted a game that involved geolocation. The people that are playing Pokemon Go wanted a Pokemon game that put Pokemon "in their world". Unfortunately, Niantic is currently giving PoGo players a reskinned Ingress.

Their ability to maintain a small community of players interested in a geolocation game, while notable, does not extend to their ability to maintain a massive community of players interested in a Pokemon game.

I enjoy the game, but I'm playing for the same reason I continued to play .hack//Infection after I beat it: I'm making small investments in its future potential. But I refuse to spend a dime on it in its current state - a game that has neither the trading experience, the combat depth, or the sense of community that even the original Red and Blue versions offered out of the box.
There's a lot of video content on a lot of topics, but their content is shallow. If you want to get a deep understanding of something, reading textbooks and official documentation is likely the way to go.
This seems awfully cynical to me.

There's a big difference between slavery, and working a job because the money affords your preferred lifestyle or life goals and you've decided that the positives outweigh the negatives. A difference so big in fact that I find it confounding that a term like "wage slave" even sees regular use. I wonder how actual slaves (of which there are more today than at any other point in human history) would feel about such a term.

The two things are so different that your advice to OP is that they should stop. Try giving that advice to an actual slave.

You can choose to work or not to work, it's an option we all have because we're fortunate enough to be members of a society that is mostly civil and mostly good, and work is easier and more rewarding in our part of the world than it has ever been anywhere else, or at any other point in time.

My advice to OP is to find the job where you can have the largest impact, find a cause you care about outside of work, and donate a percentage of your income to it. If it's not fulfilling to you to use that income to live for yourself, you can seek fulfillment in working for a social good (it sounds like that's something you want to do anyway).

Ben Horowitz says you shouldn't follow your passion:

http://a16z.com/2015/05/28/some-career-advice-for-all-you-re...

I think this is great advice with a strong basis in reality. You said you wanted to make an impact and fix things socially? You will do more for that by doing whatever it is you're best at, and using the influence and wealth that earns you to affect positive change socially. Maybe you won't work on it directly, but indirectly your impact will be far greater if you do whatever it is you're best at, whatever that may be.

Personally, I choose to live a frugal life and accumulate wealth. It's going to compound interest over the course of my life, and when I'm gone it's all going to causes that I care about. That's because I could donate $1 today, or I could keep it invested and donate $5 when I die.

I may never actually work on social issues directly, I may not be here to witness my earnings going to important causes, but this is how I'll have the largest impact that I possibly can in terms of doing a social good. Not by doing what I'm passionate about, but instead by doing what I'm good at.

Identify what you want to do with your life, then figure out how you're going to accomplish that by doing what you're best at. Your life can have almost any kind of impact on this world that you want. It's not limited to the scope of your profession, and the size of your impact is limited only by how hard you're willing to work.
My point is that, if someone is going to guess the N bit identifier, they can also easily guess the signature.
Forget custom fabrication; how does one know the real, official fabrication isn't compromised? I mean, the original comment was comparing the openness of POWER8 to the closeness of other processors, using only the ability to flash it openly as evidence, but if one is worried about other processors delivering compromised processors, why isn't one also worried about POWER8 delivering a compromised processor?

I guess I don't understand how that's an argument to support "one can't ever be sure what is running on [the others] internally", unless you manufactured the processor yourself from the open design.
I'm speaking of work we're forced to do within the market-liberal economy. You are not likely to get paid to overthrow it.
I'm actually at level 23, and I'm trying to "catch them all" - or at least, all that are in my country. Once I do that, I'll probably just wait for more content. That way I'll be well positioned if new content comes out.

The game hasn't even been released in every country, and to be honest I don't think it should have been released at all (at least until the combat system was decent). However, they clearly have an extremely popular game. Even if 99% drop off, and only 50% return they will still be raking in the dough.
I can't think of anything the EU has been involved in over the last couple of decades that isn't accurately described as such: the Euro? the Lisbon treaty debacle? the immigration catastrope? Greece? Unemployment? Agricultural policy? God forbid they ever get an army: they would probably attack their own citizenry, declare a great victory, and people like yourself would start cheering
Seems like a gross overestimation of time needed for said advances and complexity of such systems. There is already a research-grade approach to learn to generate short programming-challenge-like programs from natural language description: http://arxiv.org/abs/1510.07211

>This paper envisions an end-to-end program generation scenario using recurrent neural networks (RNNs): Users can express their intention in natural language; an RNN then automatically generates corresponding code in a characterby-by-character fashion. We demonstrate its feasibility through a case study and empirical analysis. To fully make such technique useful in practice, we also point out several cross-disciplinary challenges, including modeling user intention, providing datasets, improving model architectures, etc. Although much long-term research shall be addressed in this new field, we believe end-to-end program generation would become a reality in future decades, and we are looking forward to its practice.
Also, speaking of other faults, WA also has the smaller, but much more shallow, Seattle fault. Because it's so much closer to the surface, and right under the city, it can potentially do more localized damage than Cascadia.

(There are other dangerous faults like that in Puget Sound region, but Seattle fault gets special attention because of how many densely populated Seattle metro areas sit literally right on top of it.)
Nice. It keeps getting better with each release. Speed seems to have improved. The only place where github is better is in the UX. Gitlab is ugly on a small laptop screen, in issues view it has three top bars that becomes really annoying. It reminds me old IE days when you had a lot of bars.
Apart from that, everything is amazing, I use it daily, specially Gitlab CI, which is one of the best CI ever.
Thanks for the feedback - may I ask if you've looked at Kubernetes at all? It appears to do exactly what you describe, and I'd love to hear if you evaluated it but found something missing.
