> sounds wrong to hire the best conversationalist. I know many people who are all talk and no substance.

Talk only goes so far. It isn't hard to make a poseur look like an idiot if you know what you are doing. A "Five Whys"-style line of questions, for example, will blow up most fakers in a few minutes. After all, how do you know these people are all talk? Is their talk really convincing to a technologist or does it just dazzle non-technical people?

> they are already certified by the boards. Computer science degree is not equivalent to medical board certificate.

People like to overstate the power and effectiveness of medical licensing boards. Very few doctors have to prove anything after their residency. All they need to do is complete continuing education requirements (which, in many cases, are pretty fluffy). That's for the most regulated of the regulated professions, too. Lawyers, accountants, engineers, and others have basically one major hurdle to jump, after which it's easy to remain current by the letter of the law.
If you want to make an argument as to why people shouldn't watch the video, please do so in a more direct manner. You seem to be making an ad hominem argument without even bothering to explain what specific ill the target is guilty of (beyond vague "regressive politics".)
This is also a way many companies prevent their engineers from leaving.

That's actually not true. The "big boys" use tons of plugin synths. Hans Zimmer comes to mind (the entire soundtrack to Nolan's Batman series was done with U-he's Zebra2, which is an amazing synth).

What you tend not to see are large-scale touring bands playing live with plugin synths. This is mostly from fear - that something will crash. There are gazillion of smaller bands performing live with Ableton Live and its own plugins, along with 3rd party engines.

Modern engines (as in, post 1989) will sense an engine knock (or a misfire) and go into open cycle ECU mode, ignoring the lambda sensor inputs. It'll run really rough and rich in order to avoid any more knocking, which could seriously damage the engine.
I mean, do you actually believe that I think the Hyperloop is extremely important, criticism of it must be quashed at any cost, and this YouTuber will just have to be one of the broken eggs?

No, I think GP is suggesting that you have some other sacred cow, and you consider the "quashing" of technical arguments about other topics to be acceptable collateral damage in protecting it.

I can't speak for later stage investors, but a number of early-stage VCs, including myself, are happy to chat with founders w/o warm intros. Unfortunately, many people write terrible cold emails that don't get any replies, and then those people assume that VCs never reply to cold emails.

That said, there are some VCs that stopped accepting cold pitches because they initially researched and tracked leads from many channels, and eventually found that cold pitches had near-zero ROI.

so a sailor stationed on a US Navy nuclear submarine is facing four to five years in prison (and a dishonorable discharge) for taking six photos from inside the submarine. The subject of the photos--the propulsion system--seems alarming until you read a little later how "uninteresting" the photos actually are--ie, the US Navy classified each of the six as either "confidential" or "restricted".

i reviewed thousands of classified documents during time in the service--ts/sci and everything below it. So first, i should think anyone who has handled classified information quickly realizes the strong inflation in security designation--makes sense though because no one wants to under-classify a document, better to be conservative. Second, "confidential" is the lowest category of classified information and very few documents/messages in that category ever seemed to me not already general public knowledge. Third, while some of the six photos were classified "confidential"--the lowest classification; others (we aren't told how many) were deemed "restricted". "Restricted" is not a classified category--it's about the same as "for official use only". Once more, this is the US Navy's own security designation of those photos. (By contrast, Clinton's email server contained eight email chains classified top secret, while many chains having a lower security designation, were found.

That said, if i were a sailor on board a nuclear submarine i can't imagine i would ever point a camera anywhere near the propulsion system; but if i did, i would expect little mercy even if i photographed nothing whatever classified. The Captain has sufficient authority in an instance like that to bust the sailor down to E-1, fine him six months pay, and throw him in the brig for a month or two--just for being reckless, again, even if there is no breach of classified information.

>jumbo loan rates have tumbled, and are, in some cases, cheaper than conforming loans

Here's a WSJ article¹ explaining the reason behind this weird inversion, for anyone like me who was wondering: "how is that economically possible?"

¹ http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB100014241278873238930045790552...

Here's the pertinent section in case anyone is hit with the paywall:

Conforming loans have become more expensive because federal officials, in a bid to reduce the outsize footprint of Fannie and Freddie, have raised the fees those companies charge to lenders, which translates into higher mortgage rates.

Meanwhile, interest-rate volatility has driven up yields on mortgage bonds issued by Fannie and Freddie as investors brace for a slowdown in the Federal Reserve's bond-buying program, which has included those mortgage bonds. That has boosted rates on conforming loans.

Jumbo mortgages, meanwhile, are increasingly kept on banks' balance sheets, which means prices aren't usually set by bond markets. "Banks have more deposits than loans today, so the desire to put that money to work, as well as the fact that it's at a very low cost, allows us to make [jumbo] loans at a very good interest rate," said Mr. Blackwell.

Searching for more information, I came across this two-months-older article:

> The Atomki group has produced three previous papers on their beryllium-8 experiments — conference proceedings in 2008, 2012 and 2015.

> The first paper claimed evidence of a new boson of mass 12 MeV, and the second described an anomaly corresponding to a 13.45-MeV boson. (The third was a preliminary version of the Physical Review Letters paper.)

> The first two bumps have disappeared in the latest data, collected with an improved experimental setup. “The new claim now is [a] boson with a mass of 16.7 MeV,” Naviliat-Cuncic said. “But they don’t say anything about what went wrong in their previous claims and why we should not take those claims seriously.” One naturally wonders, he said, “Is this value that they quote now going to change in the next four years?”

I hope you don't take that to such an extreme as to think that every line item of criticism in which Thunderf00t applied general science principles to the hyperloop paper under discussion is invalid due to a lack of sufficient technical expertise.

Right? Surely Thunderf00t is qualified to make some of the criticism he made?

I would agree that there are likely a few areas in which his criticism exceeded his understanding, though I have yet to read a criticism of his criticism that doesn't mis-represent his claims.

It also is highly leveraged. If you start at 20% down with a 3% interest rate, you won't have 50% equity until around year 14-15. Since most people move by then, you are spending most of the time with 2-5x leverage on the gains.

I have interviewed with a few big companies myself including Microsoft, Google and Yahoo! and must say that sometimes the result of interview depends upon who is interviewing you. So I guess the lesson here is to keep giving interviews till you find(or make) the job that you want.

Conversely, you can't just assume what they say has zero validity.

This seems to indicate that there's a significant difference in the cultural norms and societal knowledge between two populations, with regards to how efficiently food is used. From what I know of South Asian culture, this is generally true.

It would basically amount to following Michael Pollan's 3 Simple Rules for Eating.

There are a number of each (including, in the latter case, the National Police Accountability Project.)

BLM happens to, at the moment, be more successful in gathering media attention. And, insofar as it is building support for specific policies, most of them are not specific to its narrow problem focus (e.g., universal police body cameras and attention to how those cameras are used are ideas that have become more broadly focused on due to BLM advocacy -- but don't do anything less to protect non-black victims than black victims.)
Internet communication is inherently interstate commerce.

I am not familiar with all the many laws surrounding interstate commerce, but the Feds are given oversight of such, in a broad sense.

P.S. If you can buy and sell data processing (programming, analysis, etc., etc.) delivered inter-state and via the Internet -- not to mention physical things a la Amazon et al. -- then, from my perspective, you are looking at interstate commerce.

The big, entrenched ISP's make a lot of money participating in this commerce. They don't escape the resulting regulation.
