Elon Musk with Tesla, SolarCity & SpaceX is similar to Eike Batista and his many businesses (OGX, MPX, LLX etc.) [1]

I wonder if Musk's companies will end up like Batista's. What do you think?

QUIC uses TCP friendly backoff algorithm called CUBIC. Linux TCP implementation currently uses CUBIC too. One difference between TCP and QUIC is that the parameter beta of CUBIC is different.

One QUIC connection is equivalent to two TCP connections in that regard. So QUIC will only backoff half amount compared to TCP. In the design docs, they mention it's okay since one QUIC connection is equivalent to multiple TCP connections that a browser makes.

> I want to move to thailand for an unknown amount of time

Have you visited before? Unless you're particularly adventurous I wouldn't suggest a move to Thailand without visiting first. I like living here, but its definitely not for everyone.

> but the visa seems like more than I would care to deal with.

You can hire a lawyer here to organise everything for you, it just depends how much you want to spend and what your situation/goal is.

> Don't want to have to do visa runs and all of that

Regardless of your type of visa, you will have to do something. I've lived here for close to 4 years, on a combination of business and now marriage visas, but I've only left the country twice in about 2 1/2 years.

Non-tourist visas get you a longer total stay (and some give the ability to apply for a work permit to work legally) but you still need to report to immigration every 90 days (resets each time you enter the country). As I said elsewhere, reporting in Bangkok is a fucking joke, in the provinces, its pretty quick and painless.
You meant "Meet Moxie Marlinspike, the guy who brought encryption to millions or even billions of people who use a multitude of independent services"?
Different metrics. Alibaba raised $25B. Facebook's market cap was around $104B (intraday) upon their IPO, but they only raised about $16B in the offering.
Apple invests $1 billion in Didi. Didi invests $1 billion in Uber.
Most state primaries are closed, so you have to register for a particular political party within an appropriate timeframe to be eligible to vote for a potential nominee. Both Ivanka and Eric Trump were too late to register as republicans and vote for their father in the New York primary.

My thoughts exactly. It's easy to get better performance than TCP if you're the only one using a different protocol and don't care about others. People have been doing that for years, using UDP and forward error correction (transform your data, embed error correcting codes, stuff the pipe with your data as quickly as you can, and hope that the other end will recover enough to reconstruct the original).

What happens when we all move to QUIC or whatever else?
The article shows that this 9% does not represent a majority of expected voters in November.
Maybe in the Trump case, since he had fewer than half of the people that bothered to vote, but Clinton won the majority of those who bothered to vote in the primary, so even if you think the choice of her as unrepresentative of those who could have voted in the primary, first past the post isn't really the culprit, political apathy is.

That said, I generally agree that first past the post is bad and should be gotten rid of.
Without banking technology, a bank can still be a bank and provide its distinctively unique services, just slower. It worked for the Templars, and they didn't even have double-entry bookkeeping.

Without Uber technology, Uber would not exist - it would just be Uber Taxi Inc., a perfectly ordinary taxi company indistinguishable from all others.

This is the first move by Musk that I feel is a bit shady. It seems like it's in his best interest, from what I've read, but maybe not in every one else's...

Though the hyperloop is a bit shady too. I guess he's not really involved in it anymore though.

The main selling point for neovim when I found out about it was the async plugin support. And I remember reading that the creator of neovim mainly did it because the maintainers of vim refused to accept his patch to add async plugin support for vim.

But about a month ago, vim added async plugin support.
So now what? I switched to neovim, and now I am undecided if I should switch back to vim or not.

neovim has a fresh start, cleaner code base but less support/timetested code than vim. What do you guys think?

In states that have caucuses it can be fairly tough for people working full-time jobs to attend them. I don't think that represents a large share of the popular vote, but it is a barrier to participation that requires more than holding one's nose to overcome.
When I'm hacking around on things, I hate to have only one. OK, it's not booting now and I don't understand. How do I quickly tell whether I fried it, the SD card is bad, or whether my code is bad? Use another one is the answer.

The point on the delivered cost being the key is that many of the boards that would also be suitable for simple tasks like this are either free/very cheap shipping, or at the worst case you can amortize the $5-10 shipping charge across 10 units instead of 1.

The system used large off-road capable trucks and would drive to one of several pre-surveyed locations in preparation for launch.

In general I agree with you, taxes and tax-like systems (church, healthcare, social systems, IHK and the others, broadcast) should be separated as much as possible, but ultimately the system will collapse if we do so. The social systems cannot fund themselves and the outlook is even worse. I think it is not even theoretically possible to cut the subsidies for the pension funds, and even if it was possible, it would choke the young generation because of the increased dues all while Germany already has the second lowest birth rate in the world. The birth rate would fall even lower, thus increasing the costs for the next generation even higher.

The bullshit expenses like broadcast and so on can absolutely be reformed, but that's just a few billions here and there. The overwhelming majority of the spending (130 bn € per year, next biggest is the military with just 34 bn €) for the social system cannot decrease, thanks to the demographic it has to be increased every year until the birth rate is stabilized, which as described cannot happen if young people are busy paying for pensions.

And btw. the tax revenue from federal roads was 6 bn € last year, while the the ministry of transport spend 8 bn € on it's federal roads. Of course there are also 33bn revenue from the gas tax, which was introduced with the argument that roads need to be paid for, but yeah as described, if we cut the tax, pension funds will die. Revenue from VAT and income taxes are just ~ 80 bn € each, appropriate spending would just collapse the system instantly.

CAPI is pretty nice. Years ago, LispWorks gave me free licenses in return for my doing some cleanup on their documentation. LispWorks is very good, but my licenses are for what is now a very old version, so I now use SBCL and sometimes Clozure. For industrial settings, LispWorks and also Franz are very good products. I used Franz products on a medical large data project several years ago, and their support was nothing short of amazing. That said, on the same project we had an issue with SBCL and we simply paid one of the maintainers to promptly fix the issue.

Sometimes it just takes spending some money.
This is amazing. Kenny, please fix the fonts.

Why not keep them and invest in remote working instead of packing even more people in major cities. You probably work most of your time with remote people anyway and tech is definitively there.

Also it is a lot easier to organise plenty of small towns (think hospital, school, road infrastructure, ...) rather than a megacity where you can have literally thousands of people per block.

I love visiting Singapore (from Thailand) but I can't imagine living there for any more than about 12 months at a push. What are the chances you will ever in your life be able to afford to buy anything bigger than an apartment/condo (aka a house on a piece of land) in Singapore?

Maybe it's OK from an American perspective but I can't imagine anything worse than living your entire life in a box surrounded by other people in their own little boxes.

Proper native application without the performance issues of a browser?
It's a term used frequently in NoSQL land, to explain a key difference to people coming from SQL. In SQL land, normalizing your data is still the canonical thing to do, and I don't recall anyone in academia officially talking about denormalizing ever having its place...but in industry, the realities of use cases and performance have meant its usage. But I don't know that it's a standard tool given out to graduating software devs and DBAs.

The implication is that some sort of population control might be necessary, if psych/soc pressures don't stabilize the population by themselves. Population control is antithetical to western individualistic values, so people reject the premise because one of the potential policy consequences (population control) causes an emotional melt-down. If desire to believe in an abstract principle is strong enough, facts will be rejected.
> Yes, but rendering is a shader on a bunch of those buffers right?

No. Tracing rays is fundamentally a sorting problem when dealing with the acceleration structure. Rasterizing samples means accumulation of values and weights, which means either atomics or separate buffers (and if you are using the GPU creating a buffer for every core is out of the question). You could sort the samples into buckets and rasterize those separately, but you are again faced with GPU partitioning at the very least.

There are plenty of ways to use the GPU to do all aspects of rendering, but it is not even remotely as trivial as you are making it out to be.

We've got prominent people like John Nagle or Alan Kay talking about stuff.

We've got people who were involved in Maxis early games (SimFarm etc.) commenting little nuggets about the games and how the name "The Sims" was chosen.

We've got people I have never heard of who talk about interprocess communication on QNX. Or about barrel machines and Intel Xeon programming. Or about lots of other interesting stuff.

None of which fits into "let's talk how awesome my startup is".
This seems like an issue that is easily susceptible to Simpsons paradox.

It is good to see a well researched article. However, the article gets something fundamentally wrong that I strongly disagree with. The idea of equality (of outcome) is a misnomer vs equal opportunity. 10 people don't win a race at the same time. I deeply believe that boys develop language skills slower than girls, and conversely, boys embrace science more readily than girls, unless there is extreme interference (like today).

Where we get it wrong is our extreme prejudice based on gender and a belief in equal outcomes. The last few years in Australia have been particularly brutal. Our government heavily promoted a commercial with a 10 year old boy slamming a door as domestic violence, followed by "that's a boy thing". This was a calculated attack to demoralise half of Australia's population, with no intent of stopping domestic violence. In fact, I challenge anyone to look at gender generalisations in any media in Australia (Google male/female with year by year timeframes as an example), or even listen to Australia's own minister for Sex Discrimination who brazenly supports highly sexist statements in interviews when she is on TV. She's a lawyer and lawyers consider their words carefully - it speaks volumes of how bad we are that almost no one has condemned any of this. The prejudice is unprecedented in at least 50 years. Nothing comes close to being so aggressive as media and governments are today with respect to sexism.

I promised I would build evidence about sexism and how we are far more sexist than I've ever seen. So far, I've researched what I can of 1970 and part of 1971. I found one article calling for boys to deliver newspapers, that was all I recall that was obviously sexist (from memory). I took many photos of adverts, articles, especially education, sports, advertising and politics. I will publish my findings, but as I expect to be attacked relentlessly and viciously (aka Matt Taylor), I intend to be robust in my evidence and (temporarily) remain anonymous in doing so. I've also been writing articles to support photo evidence and to cite blatant lies in this decades long gender war.

I am glad to see articles like this being discussed, however, as the sexism has recently become far more aggressive and far more prevalent and directed at younger children (code.org and Science Week in Australia as two examples), I have little faith that most people are listening and/or care. When the topic posted hits most mainstream papers, I know the gender war is stopped (at least for a time).

If you are a decent human being, I emplore you to take a hard stance against feminism or any gender based movement.

Thank you to the poster of this article and to the author.

That is what i think of it.

I think it is also important to notice that Max is barely aprotagonist of the movie. He is more like a walking plot device. He help the drama start and move along while not being the real focus of it. Max is more of an entity than a character.

Also thought of Berlin or Munich but they are more expensive and have more immigration pressures, France Italy too anti- business, so Lisbon seems best option to me.

I don't think its hard to tell a story without much dialogue. I don't think "thinking" and "dialogue" are linked as I've seen some really un-thinking dialogue and some visual thinking without dialogue. Given the box office, I don't think CGI is boring, just poorly done CGI without a point. I think a good plot and structure is more important for movies today than just the dialogue.

Its certainly diluted, but to be honest unless I am applying to the latest YC batch or starting my own company I don't care as much, most of that talk is fairly standard after you have heard it a few years running. While most of it is genuine, it can get a overhyped/inauthentic at times.

It really depends. Sometimes it's possible to slurp relatively small subsets in. Sometimes you've already got the data loaded in memory for other reasons. Sometimes (especially in long-running ETL stuff) you can come up with a way better query plan than a query-by-query approach could achieve.

But yeah, usually, don't be clever and don't spaff the contents of the database across a network just to do a join.

Low particaptation in the democratic election process can cause people to not benefit from their government.

This is exactly what statistics addresses.
Is that 9% a good enough random sample of
the entire population, or not?

You are implying it is indeed random. Voting isn't random sampling as people are not randomly selected to take part in the democratic process, people choice too, while everyone has the right too.

For a proper bayesian result like you are suggesting participation would have to be randomly decided, and representative proportioinally of demographics (economic background, ethnic, educational, age, etc.), which it isn't.

Voters are more often then not. Old, affluent (I.E.: Can afford to take time off of work to vote, or has a job that permits them to take time off to vote, or have time to research+register for absentee voting), black, educated. Under-educated, immigrant, and younger backgrounds are heavily under represented in the voting process currently, and for most modern records keeping. Furthermore some local governments have laws that discourage particaptation for some ethnic-minorities.
