The value doesn't need to be captured because it isn't lost. The value is simply distributed across the entire economy by lower costs.

There is room for policies that support workers displaced by economic change (i.e. unemployment insurance) but free trade helps to maintain a vibrant, adaptive, and productive economy (i.e. to create wealth).

Highly regulated trade is riddled with preferential treatment for politically connected firms or industries. This is a great way for politicians and bureacrats to wield power, exchange favors, and generally funnel value away from consumers and towards the favored firms and industries.

I would say most programmers working today do not so much as open their programming environment in 7 seconds, that is not the environment that is set up let alone exposed to outsiders, without signup, through a simple URL.

So I am saying that the direction the article advocates is completely correct, yet the maxim "Rapid is a State of Mind" can be taken further, we can think in even more rapid terms. If you can't imagine clicking a URL and immediately creating a game that has never been made before then you're on the wrong side of history. I am simply not going to elaborate. (The 7 seconds is a bit of an exaggeration, as I noted.)
WW3 ISIS GOLD AND CERN WORKING IN HARMONY TO BRING THRU LUCIFER
I am surprised no one has mentioned replacing the adsorption CO2 scrubbers on space craft[1] with something that is powered by electricity. The article claims 130 grams of CO2 removed from the air per kilowatt-hour. Astronauts might expel 40 - 50 grams of CO2 per hour into the air, so 500wHrs of power keeps the air breathable forever? That is a good deal. For reference the ISS has a crew of 6 and has 84 - 120kW of power capacity [2].

Mostly the default one. Never had too much need for command line on Windows - it's beauty is in the great GUI tools, and build systems can be handled by simple bat files.
> Out of curiosity, is there any reason why you haven't tried to tackle the EMC demographic?

We didn't want to be in the hardware market. We outsource all of our "builds" to companies that are willing to bend the metal and assemble most of the pods for us. You can buy the pods directly from them as well (like from backuppods.com or 45drives.com). Backblaze was started by software people who were forced to look at hardware to solve a price-to-density problem.

Which is a really long way of saying - we don't want to sell hardware, if folks want to back up or store their data with us, that's awesome - but if they want hardware and support for that hardware - there's folks out there that are more in to that sort of thing :)

WTF does this mean?

If you go off your HIV meds you get AIDS and die. If you stay on your HIV meds you have a life expectancy is similar to someone who does not have the virus. (1)

Do you then conclude HIV meds are bad? Or HIV patients need to just suck it up?

Let's say that you believe (or know) that. What difference does it make? You still have no access to the base reality, and you still have to make your life around the rules of this one. In fact, how does it change a single thing and/or emotion in your life?

For example: I go to work and do some project there. Let's say that I now found out that there is a base reality, and my work won't matter in the base reality, that there it's all like a video game. It doesn't change anything for me, does it? I only do the work because I enjoy doing things with my mind, because I enjoy the experience. I also know that my work will cause changes in this reality (I have a lot of past evidence for this), like give me a paycheck or change some part of the world in some way, and so I can plan according to this and how the things I do will affect other parts of the reality, including other people. All that still happens even if it's a simulation.

So why would you ever want to even think about if it's a simulation or not? There is still no way to go to the "base" reality.

Also, if it's simulation, wouldn't you want to make your life here longer? (Or are you just assuming that when you die, all your experience will somehow travel with you into some base reality that you have no way of accessing now? )
I use Backblaze. Fantastic service. The software could use a bit of work though.
Let me guess... Wait, no. MS stopped that in July, right?
> mathematics works by people guessing rules and then checking them

This will sound facetious, but I suspect many people treat great swathes of life this way

Including programming. Good programmers are the ones who try to derive the underlying rules, instead of trying something and checking if it works for a couple cases.

... which is quoted in the article.
Most physicists are happy to talk to you about things if you're not veering off like the top comment described. If explained properly, you might just understand the details, and if not now, maybe next time (happens to the best of us during studies, sometimes understanding takes repeated exposure).

Actually, that is something I noticed: Many people are scared off for good if they don't understand something at once. Most of my physicist peers don't understand things at once, it's normal. The question is how to deal with that - do you run away or do you try again, and what are your tools for that?

I'm not sure what triggers the need to argue in people.
It's just so far removed from the ideal most of us strive towards in discussions, which is trying to understand things by all means possible, and not defend a preconceived notion. This sounds obvious and easy, but for many people, I found it's not. They identify so much with their state of knowledge and arguments (not to say opinions, which I can kind of get) that one has to tread very carefully. One wrong expression and they turn into fighting mode, and the discussion turns from a search for understanding and rightness into a match for which derailing is a valid technique.

Lack of focus is also an issue, and can be a derailing method. (Ask questions faster than they can be answered and don't listen to the person trying to explain. In the end console yourself that we can't really know anything and thus all questions are unanswerable. End monologue, walk away. God, these people.)

As far as physics topics go, it is the worst in GRT (general relativity) lectures followed by quantum things. Biologists told me they get strange argumentative older people in evolution lectures too.

Except there are issues with it. For example, I ordered my ballot and never received it. Fortunately I work somewhere with a flexible enough schedule that I could vote in person, but it isn't reliable enough for me.

There is really no compelling argument I can think of for why there shouldn't be a federal holiday to vote, unless you are arguing about lost productivity as a business owner or policy changes from more people of different demographics voting. Neither are compelling arguments.

I do agree it's a good choice to have. Would we be given that choice though? I could be stricken with an incredibly painful disease tomorrow and have zero quality of life - and even if I wanted to die (and couldn't do it myself) nobody would be allowed to help. Now we're talking about a perfectly healthy person wanting to die. There's also your question of responsibility to others (young children for example) and whether or not you're making a rational decision or one clouded by temporary mental illness. Society will need to change massively before we have the choice to die when we want (assuming eternal life).
I'm curious if there are any other analogies in history of societal problems that was so widely misunderstood yet spent ungodly amounts of human time, money, and jail time was spent trying to stop in all the wrong ways.

The war on drugs really are the crowning achievement of anti-scientific public policy. Decades of ignoring the results and continuing to try the same thing.

The west isn't the only one with this problem. The DEA has been exporting this failed strategy to other countries for decades. The Philippines has taken the American style war to the extreme: http://www.wsj.com/articles/in-philippines-war-on-drugs-deal...

They've demonstrated that the only way to actually win it like a war is via death squads and the total destruction of human rights. Otherwise governments have to face reality and accept it doesn't work.
>Like almost all science in this area, nothing is really proven to work yet.

That's why nobody should really buy into these fad diets until such a time as one is rigorously shown to be beneficial.
OK! So funny I have used that freebie one for a few years. That's why I knew it the second I saw it. That's been a very useful template and I really appreciated finding it on github a long time ago. Use it for transactional emails literally all the time. Thanks for putting it up. By the way for the inlining I use premailer. That's a good service.
I just look at this as more proof that breakthroughs aren't nearly as "sudden" as it often seems.

People will probably continue working on this for years and years before something, if anything, comes of it.
New AWS Application Load Balancer
I don't know but my guess is to have more efficient collection/processing may require bigger leaves which may be too heavy or catch more wind damaging branches.

First off, really well written article. You're absolutely right in that it's a different market now than it was in 2013, when everybody with 'Full Stack' in their profile was getting hired.

Second, having hired a few bootcampers myself, I think it's definitely possible for someone to come in to a technical organization with limited experience. They just have to be willing to contribute as much as they can wherever they can.
stross's "accelerando" had a great reference to that:

-------------

Getting back to the history lesson, the prospects for the decade look mostly medical.

A few thousand elderly baby boomers are converging on Tehran for Woodstock Four. Europe is desperately trying to import eastern European nurses and home-care assistants; in Japan, whole agricultural villages lie vacant and decaying, ghost communities sucked dry as cities slurp people in like residential black holes.

A rumor is spreading throughout gated old-age communities in the American Midwest, leaving havoc and riots in its wake: Senescence is caused by a slow virus coded into the mammalian genome that evolution hasn't weeded out, and rich billionaires are sitting on the rights to a vaccine. As usual, Charles Darwin gets more than his fair share of the blame. (Less spectacular but more realistic treatments for old age - telomere reconstruction and hexose-denatured protein reduction - are available in private clinics for those who are willing to surrender their pensions.) Progress is expected to speed up shortly, as the fundamental patents in genomic engineering begin to expire; the Free Chromosome Foundation has already published a manifesto calling for the creation of an intellectual-property-free genome with improved replacements for all commonly defective exons.

Experiments in digitizing and running neural wetware under emulation are well established; some radical libertarians claim that, as the technology matures, death - with its draconian curtailment of property and voting rights - will become the biggest civil rights issue of all.

For a small extra fee, most veterinary insurance policies now cover cloning of pets in the event of their accidental and distressing death. Human cloning, for reasons nobody is very clear on anymore, is still illegal in most developed nations - but very few judiciaries push for mandatory abortion of identical twins.

Some commodities are expensive: the price of crude oil has broken eighty Euros a barrel and is edging inexorably up. Other commodities are cheap: computers, for example. Hobbyists print off weird new processor architectures on their home inkjets; middle-aged folks wipe their backsides with diagnostic paper that can tell how their cholesterol levels are tending.

The latest casualties of the march of technological progress are: the high-street clothes shop, the flushing water closet, the Main Battle Tank, and the first generation of quantum computers. New with the decade are cheap enhanced immune systems, brain implants that hook right into the Chomsky organ and talk to their owners through their own speech centers, and widespread public paranoia about limbic spam. Nanotechnology has shattered into a dozen disjoint disciplines, and skeptics are predicting that it will all peter out before long. Philosophers have ceded qualia to engineers, and the current difficult problem in AI is getting software to experience embarrassment.

Fusion power is still, of course, fifty years away.

Feel free to explain because I don't see what would be the problem.
Yes, I agree entirely.

Is there a way I can say both that the invasion was stupid AND that it could (not should!) have worked out ok afterwards if the US had a plan?

I think that it is worth noting all the things that went wrong, not just the stupidity of the invasion itself.
In my experience, there is a big variation in how people respond to Vicodin (and maybe painkillers more generally). Vicodin was hugely beneficial in reducing pain after a surgery I had. The main downside was the increase in tolerance after a few days. Some friends I have spoken to said Vicodin did very little for them.
blah blah blah.
Finnish is related to Scandinavian languages because it is a Scandinavian language. There are even similar words like appelsiini vs apelsin for Orange, in Finnish/Swedish respectively.

Bergmann's rule https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergmann%27s_rule

The earliest explanation, given by Bergmann when originally formulating the rule, is that larger animals have a lower surface area to volume ratio than smaller animals, so they radiate less body heat per unit of mass, and therefore stay warmer in cold climates. Warmer climates impose the opposite problem: body heat generated by metabolism needs to be dissipated quickly rather than stored within.
>> "How old are you now? It's very easy to say you're not scared of dying when it's a distant, abstract concern that you aren't really confronted with."

That's the odd thing - I'm definitely scared of dying. I don't want to die - now. But I can definitely see a tipping point. I guess it maybe depends on how happy you are with your life. If I was financially secure and could spend my life doing what I liked 100% of the time then maybe there isn't a reason not to keep living. Otherwise I just feel like eventually I'll get exhausted overcoming one challenge after the other.
Any hints what the great GUI tools are?

How do you script them?

Or was that sarcasm?
Been riding in/driving Tauruses for my whole life. When I get in another car that is missing features like this I always fail to figure out how things work, and even when I do I have forgotten by the next time I get in. I feel like the somatosensory experience of using a vehicle or a tool is completely neglected by designers who only ever look at a digital model. Yes, it may look good to you Mr. Visual, but have you actually touched it, or used it, played with it? I bet some of designers get an itchy feeling when they see the bumps on the F and J keys.... (end rant).
How are you going to push or tow the car, then?
In addition to what others have said, which I agree with, I want to point out one other small difference that makes me much more interested in IH than your site...the focus on an individual developer rather than a startup.

I've been through startups and know much of the work that it entails. I know (roughly) how much of my life I'm going to have to devote to that idea and the pain of fundraising/bootstrapping. But I've never had a revenue-generating side project or lifestyle business, so it's great to see examples of that and concrete numbers on how much those types of projects can generate. I'm far less interested in this kind of information at the level of a startup than I am at an individual level since I'm far more likely to put something together over the course of a few weekends and see if it can make enough for me to quit my day job rather than to opt into the commitment needed to do a startup.
A typical hobbyist doesn't need to buy in bulk. When I started with Arduino when it first came out, I never heard of TI launchpad series. So Arduino was first to the show. As a side: in my simple projects, not one has ever needed Wi-Fi; especially when considering power consumption.
Was shifting a huge problem which needed to be solved in automotive industry? Guessing someone wanted a promotion by claiming "I redesigned the shifter".

That is exactly how I feel whenever I drive a recent BMW. Besides the shifter shenanigans, the turn signal switch also bounces back to center immediately after activation, such that it is virtually impossible to deactivate manually (e.g. when changing lanes) and I always end up alternating left and right flashes before getting it to turn off.

There's probably something simple that I'm missing, but really, I can't think of a single problem this solves or improvement it makes over the existing convention. It seems like having the physical position of the switch map to the state of the signal is a good thing, and that is now lost for...what exactly?

Thanks sponnapa90! I completely agree. It's so important to have a go-getter attitude when joining an organization as an individual contributor. That goes for CS grads, too!
I can read datasheets perfectly well, and Arduino seems pretty good by the low standards of microprocessor programming tooling.

I mean, you can program in C rather than assembly language! And you don't have to pay £300 a seat for the compiler! It works on windows, linux and mac instead of being windows-only! If you open source your project, other people can contribute and they don't even need a £150 tool to download the program to the chip! Other people can compile your code and have it work without needing to know the details of 'linker scripts' and 'codesourcery toolchains' and all that stuff!
It would definitely fit, and I'm already intrigued just hearing that! You should submit if you like.
I'm inclined to believe that the "sucking" part of it is a consequence of new technology and capabilities. It's rarely the case that something that is done for the first time is even remotely comparable in quality to the mass marketed refined implementation of that thing.

No matter what our technological capabilities are at the time of doing so, I believe the first colonies on other planets will "suck" by the standards of living of that era.
That particular stage in the hugely complex reaction pathway is hailed as efficient. The whole thing, considerably less so.
This is not quite right.

Solar panels create an electric current, not fuel. This is a much easier task.

When you read that photosynthesis has 1-2% efficiency, that's because they're measuring the efficiency of converting light into sugar.
There was a famous airline accident where gallons of fuel was confused with liters. The fix (obvious in hindsight) was to standardize on gallons.

> Over time, overall quality of available bicycles declined considerably, almost entirely because of this dynamic with customers, recovering only after the fad ended, years later.

It seems like that quality improvement correlated rather suspiciously with increased automation in manufacturing and increased overseas competition. Am I off base about that?

That seems like an unfair potshot. Why not emphasize: "An increasing number of Americans were addicted to prescription opioids such as Oxycontin."
