I'm not that surprised. Silicon valley CEOs (and many large companies like Apple) love Hillary because she is going to help them bring more H1B workers into the country and undercut the wages of our engineers and workers.

..and of course, we can't forget the connection with Eric Schmidt:

http://qz.com/520652/groundwork-eric-schmidt-startup-working...

I have nothing against H1Bs, if they are paid the same wages as Americans. But undercutting our current engineers will reduce the wages of everyone and bring more money into the pockets of greedy CEOs and less money into the pockets of the worker.

These practices will only further create wealth inequality between the 1% and the 99%.

I very much agree with this. I have been doing crossfit for about 2 years now. I had never really lifted seriously or correctly before, but very on again, off again with gyms doing machines, running, cycling. None of that every fit me nor could I stay motivated. Having a group, all doing the same thing, all cheering you on, with a coach always helping you get better is amazing. It doesn't matter that I am slower or not as strong because at the end of the class, all of use are just as tired.

As for beginners, I would recommend crossfit, but only if the gym has experience with complete beginners. Ours is great with it and go out of their way to scale everything and include everybody. If the coaches and other athletes are not inclusive, find a different gym. A good coach will teach proper form as best as someone can do it in their shape.

There are intellectually consistent frameworks which could justify most of Musk's beliefs, but he doesn't appear to abide by any such framework. He has changed his tune on many issues, and his policy positions always seem to be advantageous to his investments; he probably believes in his arguments, but we should be sanguine about their origins.

I happen to agree with him that fuel cells are a bad idea, but I also think that if one is to advocate taxing carbon, they should be advocating the taxation of other emissions and pollution (if they are to be intellectually consistent). I have never heard Musk advocate for something like a battery tax.

I would be flattered if Musk ever replied to anything I'd said, and I am not trying to cause any sort of emotional reaction.

In my case, there is lot of inefficiencies. I can easily cut down on few things

(a) I spend time browsing emails while lying down (easily eats 30 mins per night).
(b) No meetups in evenings.
(c) Excuse from business meetings after a certain time
(d) Cut down on social events on weekdays.
(e) Push all non-essential things to weekends.

I made this list for myself and it helps free up evenings. Your situation may differ.

I realized that my kids are my investments as well. In to someone's future/life (not trying to sound too dramatic). So, that's highest priority at this point and hence the sleep.

> I won't buy socialism in any possible form and any interpretation even from world famous scientist

This is a pretty ridiculous statement.

Do you believe in taxation? Do you believe there are some things that a collective organization of people can do better than an individual - be that organization a family, village, private company, or a federal government? OK, then you buy into and support the premise of socialism.

Socialism/capitalism isn't binary. Don't be arbitrarily afraid of either word or concept, but do be afraid of either extreme, as extremes are always untenable. Moving towards "socialism" by increasing taxation on the ultra-wealthy is a move to restore balance and guide us away from one extreme which has gained in popularity in the past 30 years.

I'm 23 and I live in the US. The fear surrounding terms like socialism/communism to this day, even with my generation, amazes me. My peers have learned to use these terms as an insult without knowing exactly why they are insulting - they just feel a vague sense that socialism is "un-American".

I get that we had to turn on the propaganda machine full blast during the cold war as the threat of nuclear extinction is no laughing matter. But with programs like social security, medicare, medicaid, etc. making up such a huge portion of our federal budget, maybe it's time to rethink our hatred and out-of-hand fear of simple terms that we use to talk about ownership and wealth redistribution.

Feedback and coaching are not simply stating opinions about people. Good managers will not simply say 'Hey, I wish you could be something you are not'. Good managers help you become a better version of you within the organization. Sometimes that better version of you has a different mix of skills. No qualities of people are incompatible (for better or worse). We are all large, and contain multitudes.

That's actually quite easy to do. The techniques used by the AI community (statistical estimation, numerical optimization, etc) are quite different from the techniques used to do things like the Cyber Grand Challenge (heavy use of SAT and other decision procedures for logical theories, lattice-based program analysis, formal notions of program semantics, etc). If you ask an AI researcher how knowledge of omega-complete partial orders can help automatically win programming contests, you'll get a blank look.

I'm actually kinda miffed that OpenAI's press release seems to think automatically writing/exploiting programs is an AI problem, and targeted the AI community in their proposals (as opposed to the programming languages community). I'm a program synthesis researcher, and know how to do major aspects of #2 and #3. I know a lot of people who are already working on them (with some quite impressive results, I might add). And none of us are machine learning people.

The important thing is: the Cyber Grand Challenge is funding a dozen teams to do exactly what OpenAI is hiring for. Call it AI or not, it's being done. You might look at the proposal to automatically exploit systems and call it sci-fi, but I look at it and think "Sure, that sounds doable."

Today's program analysis and synthesis technology allows for tools far beyond anything programmers see today. I'm excited to be part of a generation of researchers trying to turn it into the programming revolution we've been waiting for.

Learning how to say no and not feel guilty about it.

I think there's a weird superstition that many of us have where we feel as if we don't deserve and won't achieve success unless we do everything we possibly can, across every vector of life, all the time. And this causes us to have "yes" as our default response, sometimes to our own detriment. And it often takes a big cold bowl of reality (death in family, getting fired, relationship breakup, physical injury, etc) for us to realize that it's OK to say no sometimes.

Will I write a glowing intro email for a passing acquaintance's friend who wants to work at company where I used to work and still have strong relationships? No, sorry.

>Uber is just a dispatch service

I don't think you are taking into account UberPool. HN comments almost never do, perhaps because programmers are generally upper income and do not feel a need to trade money for inconvenience, but UberX is basically a legacy product and now presented as more of an upgrade if you're in a hurry, rather than the default mode.

UberPool is everything. A network of cars buzzing around the city dynamically routing from one task (transport passenger, transport package, deliver food, etc) to the next, and each task is cheaper because it can share ride segments with other customers.

That is where the winner-take-all argument comes from - the bigger the network, the more efficiently Uber can pack multiple tasks into the same driver-hours, with less delay (more jobs means the car doesn't have to go as far out of its way to share capacity).

Uber is more than dispatch - it's quality control, reputation, dispute resolution, capacity planning, payment escrow, (soon to be) routing (it bought a few mapping companies), commercial insurance (try buying that on your own), and increasingly, the efficiency provided by combining multiple tasks in each car.

When people call Uber a taxi service - when is the last time a taxi offered you a cheaper ride if you agreed to share the car for 5 blocks with a guy 10 blocks down the road?

Disclaimer: I used to work there. Throwaway because I'd rather keep identifying information off my personal account.

Opinion is my own, I do not speak for Uber, etc.
Thanks to the magic of currency markets, I don't have to care about currencies either when I travel in Europe, even though I am American. Whenever I buy something, I use my credit card, and the charges are automatically converted to USD based on whatever the USD/EUR/GBP/etc rates are on that day.

The Eurozone can be a great idea, if some sort of fiscal union comes into being; otherwise the Euro will always be undervalued in the North and overvalued in the South, causing imbalances in investment and consumption.
While true, that doesn't account for the many millions of older people who were exposed to much higher levels of radiation closer to the tests. Many of whom will die of cancers caused by that higher level of exposure.
Fair enough. Here is an article with a video: http://www.mynet.com/haber/guncel/emniyet-muduru-vatan-cadde...

I agree that your "Scenario 2" is a good case against using torts to correct large, widespread pollution problems, but there are other ways of dealing with those issues in a manner consistent with libertarianism.[1][2]

My original point was not that Pigouvianism was ineffective, but that: "Pigouvianism is inherently intolerant and totalitarian, not libertarian, as it relies on imposing one's value judgements on others. Using a tax to force compliance rather than more draconian restrictions may be 'nicer', but is not Liberty."

Attracting the talent to build a usable product is one of the most important steps in creating any business, or line of business in the case of a large company. That talent is scarce, and tends to prefer certain companies over others. I speak as a former recruiter and current employer, who has had to grapple with the difficulty of hiring good software engineers.

The software engineers I have known and tried to recruit tend to want to work for companies that are more like Google and less like General Motors.

The statement Anyone can hire programmers, children can ship products is manifestly untrue. It's hard to get the right people, and it's equally hard to coordinate all their activities to get a successful product over the finish line.

The companies that have healthy cultures of software engineering and digital product management and design are way, way ahead of everyone else. And those companies are in the minority.

> I don't know, did Keynes ever understood how capitalism works?

I would say yes. That's a pretty wild question to ask. Do you know how capitalism works, because "competition" is not the definition.

Keynes is "widely considered to be one of the most influential economists of the 20th century."

"Following the outbreak of World War II, the leading Western economies adopted Keynes's policy recommendations, and in the two decades following Keynes's death in 1946, almost all capitalist governments had done so."

"When Time magazine included Keynes among its Most Important People of the Century in 1999, it said that 'his radical idea that governments should spend money they don't have may have saved capitalism.'"
